On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 412 Whether to move the capital or not

Outside Jinyang City, on the bank of Fen River.

Cui Che, who had accepted the reward from Yang Liang, walked up to the altar in the presence of the ministers.

In addition to the commonly used three animal gifts, namely sheep's head, pig's head and cow's head, Cui Che also specially slaughtered a white horse. Witnessed by the ministers, he swore to the heavenly alliance that he would never harm Yang Liang.

Then he returned to Jinyang and moved into the temporary Prince Yan's Mansion.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually the mansion that Cui Che purchased when he was working in Jinyang. It is actually a large mansion, but as a palace, it is still a bit shabby.

The new Prince Yan's Mansion will be built at a new location, and now it can only settle down in the old mansion for the time being.

Fortunately, his wives and concubines were all in Yecheng and Cui Che was alone, so he didn't have so many demands.

A group of confidants and recent converts came to Prince Yan's Mansion to listen to Prince Yan's elegant voice in the main hall.

The previous awards were given not only to Cui Che's confidants, but also to Doulu Yu, Wang Ba, Pei Wen'an, Qi Muliang, Qiao Zhongkui, He Shangui, Wang Dan, Ruru Tianbao, Yu Zhengzheng, Xue Cui, Liang Bodhisattva, and Wei Daozheng

, Zhang Boying and other Yang Liang's old troops also received rewards.

It's just that he can't rise up like Cui Che's cronies and be promoted by leaps and bounds.

Some of Yang Liang's old troops were reused, such as Doulu Yu, Wang Ba, Xue Zhou, Pei Wen'an and others.

It is abominable for the Douluyu seller to beg for mercy, but Cui Che cannot cross the river and burn bridges, otherwise no one will dare to seek refuge with him in the future.

And Wang Ba's bravery was also liked by Cui Che.

As for Xue Zhou and Pei Wen'an, we can know from their surnames that one is from the Xue family of Fenyin, and the other is from the Wenxi Pei family.

Xue Zhou was a civil servant with the ability to govern the local area. In the original time and space, as the governor of Xiangzhou, he got involved in Yang Liang's rebellion. He was convicted and sent to guard the border. Many officials and people of Xiangzhou were grateful for his kindness and went to Daxing to defend him.

Up to hundreds of people.

At this time and space, because Cui Che was in power in Hebei and Li Jing served as the general manager of Xiangzhou and the governor of Xiangzhou, Xue Zhou stayed in Hedong as an official, but he still got involved in the rebellion.

Pei Wen'an attacked Puzhou and suggested that Yang Liang take advantage of the unpreparedness of the court to attack the people in Guanxi. It cannot be said that Pei Wen'an's suggestion was wrong, but Yang Liang was not Yang Su's opponent.

Both of them are talented people, one in literature and one in martial arts. Cui Che would accept them even if they were from humble backgrounds, let alone from a famous family in Hedong.

Of course, while there are those who are proud, there are also those who are frustrated, such as Qiao Zhongkui, He Shangui, Wang Dan, Ruru Tianbao, Yu Zhengzhi and others, who were all promoted and secretly demoted by Cui Che, and lost their real power.

The various offices of the three provinces and six ministries in the Jinyang court were used to accommodate these people. After all, the military power had been divided between the Prime Minister's Office and the Chinese and Foreign Offices.

Cui Che summoned everyone to gather at Prince Yan's Mansion today. The first major thing to discuss was to move all Xiangzhou soldiers and their families to Jinyang, making Jinyang the center of military power.

Of course, there are also objections. Some Hebei scholars hope to imitate Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son.

Yang Liang was asked to move the capital to Yecheng, with Yecheng as the political center. Cui Qiji, the crown prince of King Yan, came to assist the government, and Jinyang was retained as the military center.

What the two views have in common is that Jinyang's status as a military center cannot be shaken.

Going west from Jinyang, passing through Puban, it can threaten Guanzhong;

It is even possible to drive straight to the south and seize Luoyang;

Facing Hedong, Luoyang has no danger at all.

The Yellow River has never been able to serve as a barrier. Not only did the river freeze in winter, but during the dry season, the water was often lower than a horse's belly, allowing soldiers to ford the river.

Jinyang itself is a place with four fortresses, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is also convenient for the use of troops.

This is also the reason why in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, powerful officials such as Er Zhurong, Er Zhu Zhao, and Gao Huan would use Jinyang as their foundation.

After some discussion, Cui Che rejected the proposal to move the capital.

At this moment and at that moment, the situations of Cui Che and Gao Huan cannot be generalized.

Although Gao Huan raised troops in Hebei and claimed to be a descendant of the Bohai Gao family, a powerful family in Hebei, he had no roots in Hebei.

Therefore, the capital was moved to Yecheng and his eldest son, Gao Cheng, guarded Hebei.

Cui Che, who has been in business for more than 20 years, has a much deeper foundation in Hebei than Gao Huan. He does not need to worry about an internal rebellion in Hebei without showing signs of weakness.

This is also the reason why Cui Che only appointed his third son Cui Yanqing as the governor of Xiangzhou instead of the general manager of Xiangzhou.

He didn't want to sow the seeds of fratricide.

As for the second son Cui Yanzong as the general manager of Liaodong, one reason is that Liaodong is remote, and the other reason is Cui Yanzong's status as a concubine.

There are different concepts between concubines and concubines, at least in this era it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cui Che finally decided to temporarily make Jinyang the center of military power instead of implementing the Jinyang-Yecheng military and political dualism of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi.

The one hundred thousand soldiers who stayed in Hebei will be transferred to Hedong, and their families will also follow.

After all, Cui Che had forged a letter and claimed that the court wanted to restore the mixed service system of the Cao Wei period, which meant that the soldiers and their families were separated in two places, to arouse the anger of the tribesmen.

Of course he wouldn't do such a thing himself.

As for the specific relocation and resettlement work, it is still the responsibility of Fang Xuanling.

Then Cui Che appointed Sima Li Jing of the foreign government to be responsible for reorganizing the soldiers of Hedong.

Bingzhou itself is a place where elite soldiers are sent out, but one general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Yang Liang is defeated in Guanzhong and only escapes with his own life. More than 100,000 Hedong elites were wiped out in one day. Only then did Cui Che defeat Yang Liang.

After Su, he easily captured the land east of Hedong.

Therefore, Cui Che temporarily decided not to expand the size of his combat troops. After all, raising these off-duty combat troops was also a huge expense.

After rewarding the three armies heavily, they still have to settle the families of the soldiers. Cui Che doesn't have much money now.

After the military system of the twenty-four states in Hedong is restored, Cui Che will also transfer all the soldiers who have been sent to various places. After all, only when the fists are clenched can there be strength.

Cui Che sent Da He Jinzhong, Li Han and other Khitan generals to the grasslands, and then returned to their respective tribes to recruit warriors and complete the Silver Saddle Khitan Zhi's establishment of 10,000.

If there are vacancies in other departments, they will be filled with capable people during Li Jing's reorganization process.

No matter what, the size of the main field army of 200,000 must be maintained.

Just as Cui Che was setting up the framework of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, the three prominent families in Hedong, the Pei family of Wenxi, the Xue family of Fenyin, and the Liu family of Jiexian County, also sent their important descendants to Jinyang to pay homage to Cui Che and serve under his sect.

Hedging your bets is also an old tradition of aristocratic families. If you really want to hug a tree to death, it has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

Cui Che now occupies a beautiful place in Hedong, has the wealth of Hebei, and has no shortage of elite soldiers and generals under his command. It has become a climate.

Since the three tribes in Hedong were under his rule, they naturally did not dare to disobey him.
