2. Shence Zuo Camp

"My minister, please resign from the Minister of Personnel." Three days later, in Yanying's palace, Gao Yue put on a tablet in his hand and made such a request to the impatient emperor.

He had a very good reason. It was originally the Minister of Personnel, the governor of Yining and Dingwu armies to fight in Longzhou, which was already a violation of regulations. The Minister of Personnel held three titles and had no example of being the prefect and governor.

The emperor was very pleased, just talked about the great victory of Huating, and then Taoguan. Before he could reward you and Wei Gao: I will immediately move you to the senior high school senior to the Censor and the Censorate, and the Censor and the Censor of Xingyuan, Fengxiang’s two government offices (the envoy was the envoy of the Northwest Yingtian, Jingyuan Water Transportation, the Censor of the Censor, Fengxiang Longyou Xingyuan Jiedushi, the judge of the Longyou Marshal's Office, and the envoy of the Longyou Xingying Pioneer Town). The ranks of the fourth rank of the official official, and the imperial decree was granted the title of "sponsor to the political affairs."

The last one is very important. Many local governors, such as Li Baozhen, Wang Wujun, Zhang Xiaozhong, etc., have the title of "Synoping Zhangshi", but it is just a title. Gao Yue's "Second-General Affairs" means that if he left the township, he would also call him to discuss if the emperor made any important decisions. In fact, it would be equivalent to standing side by side with Li Mi, Jia Dan and others.

Then, the emperor asked Gao Yue when the war to destroy the Dang and Qiang began?

I want to hear your opinion.

Gao Yue replied in a loud voice: "Jingyuan Camp was just under the jurisdiction of the Shence Army Camp in the west of Jing. Now the left and right troops of the Shence Right Camp can have as many as 70,000."

The emperor nodded and said that this is true. Among them, Shen Ce had 30,000 soldiers and 40,000 soldiers (Shen Ce originally had Purun, Linyou, Haoqiu and other military farms in Fengxiang, but now they were all transferred to Gao Yue, the Fengxiang Yin, who was managed by the left army), the left army was stationed in Jingyuan, the right army was stationed in Yanzhou, and Tan Zhizhong, who was a supervisor, was still in Fengtian City.

The military strength of the Shence Army's camp in the west suddenly increased by 20,000, but the new recruit system planned by Gao Yue, Lu Zhi and Li Mi in advance did not cause any burden on the finances.

Gao Yue immediately suggested that Your Majesty could set up a left camp of Shen Jian.

The emperor asked, where did the troops come from?

Gao Yue said that Qu Huan, the governor of Chen and Xu, has been guarding Xuchang and other places in the past two or three years, recruiting exiles, and his troops have recovered quickly. He can first use him as the backbone, and then merge the troops of Shang Kegu of Jin Shang and Yanzi Chu of Shaanxi and Guo, and get 30,000 troops to become the Shence Zuo Daying.

Now for the emperor, as long as he can expand the Shence Army without increasing the financial burden, it is definitely a happy thing to agree - because Shence Army is the emperor's imperial field army after all, no matter how close he is to other Fangzhen towns, it is not as good as this team.

"Okay, I will now grant the military title uniformly. Shence Right Camp has set up three armies. Liu Haibin's Jingyuan camp is the 'Shence Wei Rong Army', Xing Junya's original right army was the 'Shence Xuanwei Army', Gao Chongwen's original left army was the 'Shence Decisive Army'; as for Shence Left Camp, Qu Huan, Shang Kegu and Yanzi Chu also set up one army each for future expansion, namely the 'Shence Zhongwu Army', the 'Shence Longxiang Army', and the 'Shence Zhen Yi Army'."

Gao Yue thought to himself, Li Shi, you can't fight, you can do something, you can do something, give the army a name, design beautiful court uniforms of civil and military bureaucrats, are you wrong?

Then Gao Yue said that the next year, the "Sacred Spirit Civil and Military Imperial Camp" was built, and then the troops of Longyou (my Fengxiang and Xingyuan) were "Zhenying Youjun" (the direction of the ancient map was upside down), the Hun Yu was controlled by Hun Yu, the "Zhenying Zhongjun" was controlled by Shuofang, Xia Suiyin, Zhenwu, Hedong, Zelu (Zhaoyi) was controlled by Li Baozhen, Shannan East Road, Jingnan, and Eyue were controlled by Cao Wanggao, Xichuan, Dongchuan, and Banan were controlled by Wei Gao, all the Shence left and right camps were unified into the "Shenying Zhongjun", and the palace imperial guards were "Shenying Zhongjun", and the Shence Xuanfu Army was controlled by him, and the Jieduan Xuanfu Army was controlled by him, and then they were guarding the emperor, attacked together, and personally suppressed the Dangqiang.

This made the emperor fly up.

"Good, now we will stop the autumn, and we will be quiet in Huaixi, Heshuo, Ziqing, and protect the tax rice, salt and profit from the canal transport, plus the northwest, Lingwu camp fields, the imperial court, and the Ministry of Revenue Department, the capital reserves for the extended capital storage. If the two taxes arrive this year, we will get 10 million guan. I will immediately add you as the battalion commander and work with Tan Zhizhong (the emperor finally understands the principle of decentralization of power and my prestige)."

Gao Yue then planned to paint and said: I asked to stop "eat three times the grain out of boundary" (it was mentioned before that after the troops of Fangzhen of the Tang Dynasty went to war under the orders of the imperial court, they would enjoy three times the food and wine and meat that they would usually eat). Now, the towns in the northwest have increased their salaries, and the shooting soldiers have land. This policy has long been unfavorable for the war. Many Fangzhen sent troops, and only one or two miles away from the boundary, they were stationed in the camp and patrol. They only knew to ask for grain out of boundary and play the wages of bandits. Most of the old and weak are sick and disabled. The old policy of "eat three times the grain out of boundary" was abolished, just like the previous abolishing anti-Autumn Festival, which was the general trend - such a million yuan of money is enough to support a hundred thousand troops to go out to fight for a year.

"Can the Dangxiang be completely flattened in one year?" The emperor was very concerned about this time issue. Don't fight to the end, and the ending would be the same as the Heshuo rebellion in the past.

Gao Yue smiled and said to the emperor:

Setting up a camp may not necessarily mean that the front, back, left and right troops will go to war together, but that all the towns, including those unruly towns in Guandong, know that they should respect our court and the Holy Lord. The army in the world should be in your hands and obey your control, which is natural.

Then the emperor suddenly stroking his hands and said, "In this way, setting up a camp, Pingdangxiang itself is not enough to make me happy. Therefore, the governors and Fang Zhenzhi respect the court and fear the majesty of our court, and I am happy."

“Yes.”

Then Gao Yue made a specific plan - for Dangxiang, he should first split and instigate them and let them kill each other, and then set up a camp first, take me as the chief minister, and escort the ambassador of Fan. I only use Yining, Dingwu and Bingning Army. I will first take over the Dangxiang of the East Mountain of Qingzhou for Your Majesty, and then destroy Dangxiang of the six prefectures of Weibei. Then, your Majesty commands the troops in the camp to work together, advance north to Baiyu Mountain, and completely flatten Xia Dangxiang. If this calculation is made, your Majesty will lead the army in person and will be able to achieve success in less than three months (that is, the last armed parade will show its reputation), so why do you need ten million yuan of money?

Not only can I not use so much money, I promise that after the war is over, I can collect 300,000 Dingkou for the court, and the cost of the war can be recovered in less than three years.

"Okay, okay!" The emperor looked at Gao Yue and said, "This year, you can safely build fields in the northwest and keep water transportation smoothly. I will do what I say next year, and I will entrust you with the full power of pacifying the Dangxiang matter.

"After the sanctions are pacified, I will officially promote you to rule!"

Gao Yue was calm and said thank you for your Majesty, but I still have something to report.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"The spring examination has not yet been opened. I ask Your Majesty to combine the Jinshi and Mingjing dynasties into one, and then the establishment of the discipline will be urgently opened."

"Why is this?"

"The world is bustling, and what is lacking is not the prefectural governor and governor, but the county magistrate who is truly responsible, especially the northwest." Gao Yue said this.
