Chapter 114

The troubles in the capital did not affect Hequ Road. Fu Bi was transferred to Hequ Road and served as deputy envoy of the General Secretary. In fact, the military supervisor who was appointed by Shi Quanbin in the past. Together with Zhang Sheng, the former deputy envoy of the General Secretary, there was a pattern of a chief envoy and two deputy envoys on Hequ Road.

Fu Bi got off the train and saw that the surroundings were covered with whiteness. He said to Zhang Sheng and others who were greeting him, "I didn't expect that it was snowing here now."

Zhang Sheng said: "There is snow in August. It is already mid-September. It is common for snow to fall."

After saying that, he talked about Fu Bi's rituals. Many officials behind him bowed to Fu Bi together.

Fu Bi returned the gift and followed Zhang Sheng and everyone to Shengzhou not far away. After entering the city, he met Du Zhongxiao, and went to rest. In the evening, Du Zhongxiao hosted the reception for Fu Bi, and left with joy, and said nothing all night.

The next morning, Du Zhongxiao arrived at the official hall and saw that the two deputy envoys did not come, so he sat behind the desk and read some official documents casually.

With Du Zhongxiao's current status, there were not many officials who could be the deputy envoy and the military supervisor. The court carefully considered it over and over again and sent Fu Bi here. When Fan Zhongyan was in the New Deal during the Qingli period, Fu Bi was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and then served in many places with a higher official position. Because of the Qingli New Deal, Fu Bi had a family member of the court and had a certain status. In the Qingli New Deal, Fu Bi was the core figure second only to Fan Zhongyan. After many years of the Qingli New Deal, Han Qi returned to the court as the Privy Councilor. The suppression of Fu Bi and others was no longer so serious.

The sun rose, and Fu Bi and Zhang Sheng each came to the official hall to salute Du Zhongxiao.

After the ceremony, they each sat down. Du Zhongxiao said, "Guanwenxin arrived in Hequ Road. In the past few days, I have walked more in Shengzhou City to understand the customs and customs here. Unlike other places, Hequ Road is in the extreme north and has a severe cold climate. Just in September, it fell heavily and it stopped yesterday. Another thing is that since the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, more than 200 years, the war here has been endless, and the people have fled. The local indigenous population is not large. Most of the people in the city have moved from the mainland, and the Yingtian army is the main force."

Fu Bi bowed: "As the commander of the Jieshou."

Du Zhongxiao said: "You are polite to Guanwen, you don't have to be restrained when you speak. There is another thing. From now on, the three of us will take turns here. If there is a special thing, we cannot be on duty, and we will know others as soon as possible."

Zhang Sheng said: "Jingshuai means that if nothing big happens, we three don't have to be in the official hall all the time in the future?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, that's true. The whole journey is full of affairs, and it is impossible to declare everything in the official department, and there are many affairs that the official department does not take charge of. If there is nothing to do in daily life, in Shengzhou City, we will take turns to govern the Strategic Department, the Comfort Department and the Du Deployment Department, and one person is on duty here. For any unurgent affairs, the person on duty will be held with seals. The three people will discuss important matters together, and after signing together, I will write for myself."

Fu Bi and Zhang Sheng said that they were.

Du Zhongxiao used the Jiedushi as the Hequ Road General Pacification Envoy. The General Office established the Five Divisions, the Jingwei Department, the Fuda Department, the Duda Department, the Jiedu Department and the Observation Department, collectively known as the Wusi Department. The Official Department here is actually the Five Divisions Department. The Jiedushi Department and the Observation Department only have their names, and their daily affairs are actually belonged to the Duda Department and the Comfort Department, and Chen Xiliang and Wen Tong are actually responsible. The official department does not have to be all five people, as long as one person is on duty. The other two can go to other departments to learn about the specific affairs below, which is of course considered rest.

Du Zhongxiao also said: "According to the arrangement of the court, in the future, in addition to me, I can submit the court to the court, the Deputy Envoy of Fu can also submit the court, but I need to sign it. In other words, the Deputy Envoy of Fu and the Supervisor of the Army will be clear before coming."

Fu Bi bowed: "The court did explain so much, and everything is strictly followed."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said, "In addition, the Deputy Envoy of Fu is also the Military Law Department of the Route. Anything that violates military law in the army will not be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Capital Deployment Department, and a separate department will be established. In principle, the military and political affairs of the country are not divided, but only the special matter of violating military law is committed. It is not convenient to establish another department, so the Deputy Envoy of Fu is also in charge. The soldiers trained in the military academy are gradually added to the army, and the military personnel are beginning to be supplemented. The military law is affected and the military law is built as soon as possible. In the future, the military commanders can only deal with violations of discipline, but cannot deal with violations of military law by themselves."

Fu Bi was a little confused and said, "Jingshuai, what kind of thing is a violation of discipline? What kind of thing is a violation of military law again."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The military has its own regulations, and the deputy envoy took some time to figure it out quickly. Generally speaking, small mistakes are usually considered to be violated by the commanders in the army. If they do not follow the orders of superiors, they are not careful in training, etc., these are considered to be violated by the military law. For example, the military law is committed by soldiers against local people, conflicts with local governments, particularly serious crimes, etc., and so on, they are handled by the Military Law Department."

Fu Bi nodded and roughly understood the meaning. There are two major aspects of the management of the military and legal affairs. One is the conflict between the army and the local government. In addition to the small matters, the two sides mediate themselves, otherwise they will be under the management of the military legal affairs. There is also a vicious incident in the military, which is also under the management of the military legal affairs.

The establishment of a separate military law is a supporting measure to abolish the class laws in the military. Military affairs, even if they are managed or soldier, are no longer the final decisions of the commander. When things go big, the military law will be punished by the military law. As a military supervisor, he has a special position in the military and is in charge of this matter.

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is the arrangement in the future. I don't know what I have to say about the article?"

Fu Bi said, "I came first, but everything was ordered by the commander of the righteousness."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, after familiarizing yourself with the affairs of this road, what are your opinions on Guanwen? You can find me, or Deputy Envoy Zhang, and of course you can also find other officials on this road to discuss. Hequ Road is bitter and cold in winter and cannot do things. In the past few months, we will sort out and prepare for the coming year."

Fu Bi bowed: "Jingshuai, I don't know what to do in Hequ Road next year? Only when you know, you can prepare."

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "The first thing is to build the railway to Juyan County as soon as possible. When the railway reaches there, it looks south to Hexi and west to the Western Regions. There are many articles to do. Another thing is that the Khitans are trained to prepare their troops, and the Chongyuan gathers a large army, and are about to enter Hongji in Youzhou. How their wars are a major event for this dynasty, so we should pay close attention to it. It is best that the two Khitan emperors can last for a long time and fight for ten or eight years."

Fu Bi and Zhang Sheng laughed together and said, "Jing Shuai is joking. The two Khitan emperors are united together. If they fight for ten or eight years, it will be difficult to unify them."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is something that is unsure. The news I received was that Chongyuan and Hong Ji both imitated our army and cast many artillery pieces. How to fight with artillery is not easy after a few years of exploration. Datong Prefecture in the west of Youzhou and Zhongjing Road in the north are only in the northeast. It connects Hong Ji's power, and the situation is extremely unfavorable. With artillery, the defense takes advantage and the attack is not easy, so they have to fight."

Fu Bi and Zhang Sheng nodded together. Both of them ignored the influence of artillery. According to the influence of the Khitan's struggle for the throne in the past, there was generally little conflict. After the strength and weakness were divided, the important officials would not last long. Now it is different. With artillery, the cavalry field battles that the Khitan used to be good at may not occupy a major position. It is difficult to say when they will decide the winner.

Fu Bi said: "If the Khitan cannot decide the winner and lose, we will build the railway to Juyan County, so how can we focus on the Western Regions?"

Du Zhongxiao nodded and sighed again: "That's true, but we don't know much about the Western Regions, so it's hard to get started. A few days ago, the envoys from Yizhou and Gaochang returned, saying that they would send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute in the next year, but they still don't know what to do. If you interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions, now you lack a grasp and things are not easy to do. Once the railway arrives at Juyan, it's best to extend to Yizhou. When the railway arrives at Yizhou and occupy the eastern gate of the Western Regions, things will be much easier in the Western Regions. Moreover, facing the two states of Guasha, Dangxiang 30,000 troops guarding the Hexi area, and you will not be able to sleep."

The Hexi Corridor is vast, but the population is not large at this time. Dangxiang's troops were only 30,000, including auxiliary soldiers. Once the Song army entered Yizhou and went around them, several counties in Hexi were almost as if they were not guarded.
