Chapter 796 The Old Man
After the Chinese New Year, news of various appointments spread intensively.
Shao Shen, who was a guest at Yiquanwu, felt uncertain after hearing this.
Liang Guo abolished the lieutenant and added the posts of Central Leader and Central Protector, both of whom were of the third rank, in the same rank as Zhengzhen Anping.
The leader of the central army is the supreme commander of the royal army, and the military officer of the central guard army is elected.
"Why worry about Yunwen?" Du Yin shook his head and said: "Although Mi Zihui serves as the leader of the army, the real power is still in the hands of the king. There is no doubt about this."
According to the latest news, Mi Huang, the governor of Xuzhou, was appointed as the leader of Liang Guozhong, including the Qinjun (1,500), the 3rd Yinqiang Battalion (18,000), the 2nd Heijian Battalion (8,400), the Yi Congjun (more than 5,000), and the Youzhou Tuqi ( 1500), including more than 34,000 soldiers.
The Mule Army, Luoyan Army, Zhongwu Army, Wansheng Army, Yanzhou and Henan Shibing, and other units that have established the integration of soldiers and farmers, and the integration of soldiers and animal husbandry are still led by the general The government governs.
There is no doubt that the Zhongling Army is already the most elite unit in the world, and it is the foundation for Liang Wang to survive and even issue orders.
Mi Huang is a loyal elder. He has known Liang Wang since he was young and has a deep friendship with him. However, his own ability can only be said to be average.
His appointment as the leader of the Central Army was mostly just a cover, and the real power was still in the hands of the King of Liang, and it was just to contain the Central Guards - the first Liang Guozhong Guards was Chen Yougen.
The normal process of military elections is that Chen Yougen elects, Mi Huang approves, and then submits to the Ministry of Personnel for conferment.
Mi Huang can veto the officer candidates recommended by Chen Yougen. This is probably the greatest significance of his role as the leader.
“The public doesn’t know anything.” Shao Shen’s expression was uncertain.
Du Yin smiled and said nothing, just looking at him.
Shao Shen glanced around the room and saw that there were only his wife and children, so he lowered his voice and said: "Mi Huang misses his old master, and he still treats Mrs. Pei very respectfully. He Lun, Liu Qia, Man Heng When the generals such as , Mi Zhi and others were loyal to the king, they also obeyed Mrs. Pei's advice. On the other hand, Donghai Kingdom is still there. There are so many Donghai palace people and guards in the palace who are close to this former Donghai princess and dowager... …"
"After Sima Yue entered Luoyang in the past, Mrs. Pei was in power in the East China Sea for many years. Even my grandparents were full of praise for Mrs. Pei and looked at her with special eyes."
"This world. Whose is it? My uncle is too partial. I met him many times in Bianliang and Pingyang, and he stayed in Mrs. Pei’s room twice out of the three times.”
Speaking of this, Shao said. Shen was a little anxious.
Du Yin patted his grandson-in-law's hand and said, "Some things can be said here, but they cannot be spread randomly outside."
Shao Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Yin pondered for a moment and said: "The king is from the East China Sea, and the people of the East China Sea are loyal to the king first. With the king here, nothing will happen. Mrs. Pei is seven years older than the king..."
Having said this, Du Yin stood up, waved to his granddaughter Du and the children to leave, then turned around and said: "Now the important officials should work hard. Yunwen, let me ask you, ten The eight-level official system will be implemented next year. Who decides on so many officials? "
"From the third rank and above, my uncle will make the decisions himself, and there will be more interference below the third rank," Shao Shen replied.
Sure enough! Du Yin knew it well.
Shao Shen is a guerrilla general and is of the fourth rank. This must have been decided by the King of Liang himself.
He is Sili Xiaowei, an official of the Jin Dynasty, so he is not included in this list.
The newly appointed officials of the Liang Kingdom range from the fourth rank to the ninth rank. If nothing else happens, they are basically the main battlefield for Pei, Yang, Wang, Yu, Lu and others to compete. Perhaps the Pingyuan Liu Family and the Nanyang Le Family are also involved, but they are not on the same level as the previous ones.
When the Duke of Liang became the Kingdom of Liang, there were no major changes in the official system, but it does not mean that it will never change. After all, the levels of the kingdom and the principality are different. At this time, the reform of the eighteen-level official system was announced, and King Liang took action boldly.
The list of officials he drew up must have been based on various factors, including his personal preferences or preferences. After this decision is made, the pattern will not change in a short period of time, unless there are major changes, such as merging the imperial official system after abdication.
According to some official status news currently circulating, the Yu family is still stable.
Liang Guo dismissed the prime minister and installed him as prime minister, with Yu Chen as the prime minister. This is the first grade.
There are six other official positions of the same level, namely Dazai, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ and Sikong.
At present, there is only one news, that is, Lu Zhi will be appointed as Dazai, Liu Han will be appointed as Sikong, and the other four are vacant.
These first-rank officials have basically evolved into honorary positions. If they are not recorded as ministers, they have a noble and noble status, but they do not interfere in actual government operations.
But Lu Zhi is still the Right Army Division of the General's Mansion, and he has real power. Liu Han from Yan is purely a mascot, a product of wooing Youzhou. But then again, King Liang respected the old and loved the young, and would still often ask "veteran cadres" for their opinions.
Yu Liang, the son of Prime Minister Yu Chen, left the center and became the governor of Xuzhou.
This is a big test for him. If he messes up, it is conceivable that the future will be very bumpy.
Du Yin could also see that the King of Liang had been cultivating Yu Liang with great pains.
Once something happens to someone else, the chances are slim.
After Yu Liang's accident in Runan, the King of Liang gave him a chance to use his talents as an officer and general to temper his temper. After grinding for several years, it is now under the control of the governor of Xuzhou, and cultivation efforts are intensified.
Thinking of this, he was a little confused again. Did King Liang value Princess Yu's son or Mrs. Pei's son?
Maybe he hasn’t even thought about it yet. What we are doing now is just balance. Especially Xuzhou is a very subtle place. I just don’t know if Yu Liang can figure it out.
"Don't worry, Yunwen. King Liang is a shrewd man. Even if he is temporarily confused by old feelings, he still has an idea at the critical moment." After saying this, Du Yin added in his heart: "Liang Wang Wang misses his old love, but he is often a ruthless person."

After leaving Yiquanwu, Shao Shen rode on his horse, surrounded by his entourage. Arrive at Golden Gate Pier.
Zhao Wei, a martial arts student who no longer knew which dock master he was, went out to greet him: "See General Huwei."
Shao Shen did not correct his title and said with a smile: "You guys It’s a blessing to help others.”
Zhao Wei was a little confused and looked at Shao Shen doubtfully.
"Starting from next year, the dock masters of the eight docks in Kinmen, Yunzhong, Tanshan, Gancheng, Baichao, Xiashi, Yushan, and Taolin will all be awarded officials, starting from the ninth grade Guangu Shao Shen said, "Compared to those in front of you, your luck is very good."
The three docks in Kinmen, Yunzhong and Tanshan were the first batch of docks built by Shao Xun, and they played a huge role in the early days. Yushanwu was the first to be established by Yu Gun, and he later came forward to persuade the people of Wubao to join Shao Xun.
Ganchengwu was built before the Xiongnu besieged Luoyang.
Xiaoshi and Baichao Erwu were taken from Wang Mi.
Taolinwu was built by the local tycoon Hongnong, who had fled westward from Guanzhong with his family and some fortified households before Wang Mi was defeated.
Each of these eight forts has its own people. The owners of the forts are martial arts graduates. It is a platform for them to practice their management abilities.
The dock owner did not have an official status before, and was not even a county official. Now that he is an official, his luck is indeed much better than those of the previous ten or so years.
The officers of Guangu Saidao are a general term. Generally speaking, they have specific names. They are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate and are in charge of troops. They are ranked from the ninth rank.
For example, the owner of the Kinmen dock can be called "Kinmen Wei", "Kinmen Dao Wei" or named after a certain valley in Kinmen Mountain.
Six of the eight big Wubao forts are located in Hongnong County, and only two are located in Henan County, namely Yushanwu (Yangdi County) and Baichaowu (Xin'an County).
Bawu Fort has eight more ninth-grade official positions, which can be awarded to eight of the best martial arts graduates, which is a kind of reward.
"If it is as General Huwei said, it is Master Shao's kindness. We have nothing to repay. We can only do what we do well and praise Master Shao for his great achievements." Zhao Wei said with a look of joy. .
After hearing this, Shao Shen looked a little strange, but he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and asked, "Can the new Hebei Ding Zhuang live in peace?"
"Kinmen There are thousands of people settled in the dock, and they are quite peaceful." Zhao Wei replied: "After the spring, the servants will allocate their land and let them farm."
"That one will not return. I'm in charge." Shao Shen stopped with his hand and said, "They are the fifth battalion of the Yellow Head Army. The Free Yellow Head Army sent people to train them."
The original people of Jinmenwu were under Shao Shen's control. They are the source of the strength of the Zhongwu Army.
In the past few years, part of the population of Hongnong Zhuwubao has moved out, and a new group of people have arrived, and another group of people will soon leave. This back and forth makes Shao Shen extremely annoyed—— He finally established a good relationship with the people in the Wubao under his jurisdiction, but they moved away and everything had to be started from scratch.
In Hongnong Zhuwu Fort, not only the owner of the Wubao is a living person, but the people of the Wubao are also a living person. Taking Jinmenwu as an example, the original 2,000 households remain today, but only 300 or 400 households remain.
Zhao Wei keenly noticed that Shao Shen was not very impatient, so he stopped saying anything and quietly followed him around Wubao.
There was silence among the gray fields.
Occasionally a hare pops up and carefully searches for the remaining beans in the bean fields harvested last year.
These docks are actually good places.
The terrain is difficult, the walls are high, the ponds are deep, and the irrigation canal network is dense. The farmland has been cared for for many years, and the yield is very high.
He has also been operating in the area outside Wubao for many years.
The Zhongwu Army has its footprints all over Hongnong. It has achieved great results and gained a reputation, and everyone is familiar with them wherever they go.
My wife, Du, was born in Yiquanwu and is a descendant of Du Fu.
Du Yin, Du's grandfather, was the captain of Sili school, and before that, he was the prefect of Hongnong.
My grandfather Du Dan was the governor of Xingyang.
Concubine Yang is the granddaughter of Yang Hui, the governor of Longxiang. She was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. Her brother Yang Jun was the newly appointed governor of Hongnong.
It can be said that Shao Shen has a very deep foundation in Hongnong. He has the support of two major local snake families, and he is fully committed to fighting against the Xiongnu forces in Tongguan and guarding the flanks of Luoyang and Pingyang.
But I don't know why, I just feel a little unhappy.
Looking at the prosperity of the Pei, Yang, Wang and other clans, he felt that his belongings had been taken away by others - if it was the Yu family, he would be able to accept it a little more.
"In addition to the Yellow Head Army, there are also Hu and Han people who moved from Pingyang, and they also need to be appeased." Shao Shen stopped and said: "The spring planting will be unified after the beginning of spring, don't delay. They are all good fields that have been cultivated for many years and have not been abandoned. No matter what, they must support themselves for the next six years. That's it. "
"I obey" Zhao Wei bowed and turned around. Leave.
Shao Shenze looked at Luoshui in the distance quietly.
There are already several sheepherders over there.
The sheep's hooves dig through the snow and gnaw on the withered grass.
A faint voice came from the wind: "You newcomers don't know that Mrs. Le, Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Lu were all children born in Jinmenwu. Your Majesty has a copy of the Sima family's genealogy. He specializes in reading family trees and sleeping with women, all of whom are the daughters, wives, and daughters-in-law of the Sima family. He will not return the world to the Sima family. Maybe he will become emperor one day..."
"Old man, you - you dare to say this?"
"I didn't dare to say it before, but then King Liang found out about it and just laughed and scolded me a few times. Why don't you dare? I also stood guard in front of Tai Chi Hall Well, I was among the first batch of hundreds of silver spear soldiers. Originally, I only received ten years of disability pension. King Liang said that I was an old man and would receive five more years. My son also joined the Zhongwu Army and followed General Huwei. Kill Wang Mi to pieces.”
"Unexpectedly, the old man turned out to be an old soldier with a silver gun."
"After being injured, he will no longer be able to do anything. He can only train the fort residents to have fun..."
Shao Shen heard this and walked away quietly.
Yes, as this person said, my uncle will not return the world to the Sima family, nor to anyone else.
The world belongs to my uncle, but it also belongs to Shaw Brothers.
Unfortunately, the guerrilla generals are not yet able to open a government and establish their own power legitimately.
There are many things happening in the world, and he still needs to work hard.
