Northern Dynasties

Chapter 522 Who does Jingzhen choose?
After Li Tai listened to what Cui Qian said about the power changes in Jingzhou, his biggest feeling was that the Western Wei Dynasty did not pay enough attention to this important town of Han Mian.

Of course, it is also because Jingzhou is not in a complete form today, and Xiangyang, an important city, is not in hand, and it is impossible to effectively control the entire Nanyang Basin, let alone strategic radiation targeting larger areas. A little tasteless.

In the early years of Datong, the two Weis competed fiercely around this area, mainly because the long-term and stable confrontation situation between the two countries had not yet formed. Faced with the opportunity to expand the territory, it was natural to fight for every inch of land.

But when the confrontation between each other gradually stabilized, Jingzhou, a tasteless place with little strategic value, would not be worth investing a lot of manpower and material resources in the competition.Therefore, after the Battle of Heqiao in the fifth year of Datong, Hou Jing's attempts were fruitless, and he no longer competed for this place since then.

In the past few years since Changsun Jian has been in Jingzhou, Jingzhou's governance and defense mainly depend on the local wealthy family.When he first came to Jingzhou, because one of his subordinates, Quan Can, broke the law, Chang Sun Jian not only refused to punish him, but even exposed his body to apologize in place of Quan Can.So far, it can be seen that the local tyrants are not weak, and the hegemony has indeed not given too many people and things support, and it is entirely up to them to attract and gather local forces to maintain control over Jingzhou.

Probably because of this situation, Wang Sizheng simply gave up Jingzhou when faced with other options, and directly led the people to Henan to change homes.And the troops he took away were basically all the armed forces that the Jingzhou government could control over the years.

Therefore, Jingzhou today still has its strategic value in theory. Whether it is going south to Xiangyang or Jiangling and other important towns in the Southern Dynasties, or going deep into the heart of Henan, Jingzhou is a very important base for advancement.

But in fact, the national strength of the Western Wei Dynasty is just like this. Jingzhou is just an enclave far away from the Xiaoshan Mountains in the Qinling Mountains. It has no value except to prevent hostile forces from entering Guanzhong through Wuguan. After all, he can do any goal in these two directions. Don't move, let alone the victory or defeat on the battlefield, the long supply line from Wuguan to Jingzhou alone can't stand it.

A few years later in history, when Yang Zhong went south to attack the counties and counties between Han and Mian, he had to rely on the enthusiastic provision of food and grass relief by the local villagers, so that the war could continue.

After learning about this, Li Tai also had some doubts for a while, did he choose to go to Jingzhou right away?
It should be noted that the real chaos in Nanliang still occurred when Hou Jing continued to go south and entered Jiankang City to encircle Taicheng. Even if the current situation has been deeply influenced by him, the time nodes in history are no longer enough reference.

But without external blessings, Bodhisattva Xiao would have no problem living a few more years.If the old guy is not dead or there are no other major changes, it is unrealistic to expect civil strife to break out in Nanliang.

He rushed to Jingzhou rashly today, but the middle school in the back road could not provide effective support. Don't make a mistake like Wang Sizheng, who is trapped in the city and lost in advance and retreat.

However, after careful consideration, he decided to continue with the plan.No matter how the situation develops in the future, what is certain is that opportunities and power will never fall from the sky out of thin air. Only by striving hard can we gain more room for manipulation.

If there is no chaos in Nanliang for a while, he can develop in Jingzhou for a few years with peace of mind.If he really rushed over, it would be difficult for him to get along with those powerful forces based on his temper. Without a stable foundation, it would be difficult to make bigger plans.

Although Jingzhou is an enclave outside, from another perspective, it can be regarded as a relatively more independent situation, allowing him to make some common sense and changes according to his own wishes.

Thinking of this, Li Tai asked Cui Qian to write for him, and to write a plan for him based on Jingxiang.

It's not that he doesn't want to write it himself, but Cui Qian obviously understands the situation in Jingzhou better than him, so it will be more convincing if he ghostwrites it and adds some forward-looking opinions and predictions of his own.

Although Li Tai took advantage of Yu Wentai's intentions, it was obviously not up to the level of what he asked for.For the appointment of such a position in Fangzhen, Yu Wentai must have his own considerations, and it is impossible for Li Tai to agree.

Although the significance of Jingzhou is not very important right now, its strategic prospects are very broad.And because it is far away from the core of Guanzhong, it is easy to develop into a local force with strong independence.

Therefore, it is also a difficult problem for Yu Wentai to choose who to leave the town.Quan Zhongzun, who was appointed before, just borrowed the expedient measure of his Shangluo local tyrant to own his own trilogy. Once the situation stabilized, of course he had to choose a more suitable candidate.

First of all, such strong officials as Dugu Xin are not considered. Yu Wentai dismissed Dugu Xin from his military and political positions in Longyou before, and the situation is still not stable. Of course, it is impossible to allow another similar existence to rise.

In fact, not only Duguxin, but even the other township party members in Beizhen, Yuwentai has become more and more reluctant to let them out of the important area of ​​Dazhou in recent years, lest they collude with the local forces in Kansai.Of course, the road that I have walked must be blocked by myself.

It is inconvenient to appoint old people from the township party, and the junior relatives who have matured in recent years are a more suitable choice.

In the original history, Yu Wentai appointed He Lanxiang to go out of Jingzhou not long after.But in this battle of Heluo, He Lanxiang gave it away by himself.

Although there are still Yuchijiong brothers to choose from, after the defeat of Yu Wenhu and He Lanxiang, Yu Wentai must also doubt whether these juniors really have the ability to take charge of their own.

Therefore, old relatives and disciples are not optional, and Lu Tong and other Taiwan government aides are a more suitable choice.However, these people are loyal enough and have sufficient administrative experience, but their military pioneering ability is not outstanding enough. Appointing them may be stable in the present, but they are too conservative, which is not conducive to advancing with the times.

After such a list, Li Tai felt that even if he was not the most suitable candidate, he must be at the top of the list.There may not be any more suitable candidates than him, but his conditions have surpassed most of them.

If you want to lock in this position, you have to show your planning plan, and you have to mobilize the masses to recommend you to show your right to speak.In this way, even if Yu Wentai already has someone he likes, he has to think about whether he is more suitable.

Although Cui Qian has some understanding of the situation in Jingzhou, it is still old news about personnel affairs more than ten years ago, and he needs to do some more understanding before writing.

Li Tai is not in a hurry about this either. If he really wants to go to Jingzhou, he needs to make serious preparations for personnel and supplies.If you wait until after departure to make a dispatch, not only will it be more expensive, but it will also be extremely inconvenient.

A few people discussed things here, and were waiting to go back to the table to continue the banquet, when they suddenly heard the noise of children coming from the outer hall, and when they entered the hall, they saw Cui Hongdu, the eldest son of Cui Cong, wrestling with a younger brother-in-law of Li Tai. It was how Miaoyin and the other female relatives resisted, but the two boys just refused to stop.

Seeing that Cui Cong was already looking around looking for bamboo sticks, Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two boys one by one, and walked out of the hall with their respective collars, and ordered the staff to set up two haystacks outside the hall to wrap the wooden Zhuang, yelled angrily at the two boys who looked at each other unhappily: "You two each hold wooden knives, cut off all the grain and grass, and then tell me why you provoke me so much that you can't justify your words, you have to fight with fists and kicks! "

"I was right, it was him..."

Dugu Mu, the third son of Dugu Xin, was about to stare and argue, but was kicked out of the corridor by Li Tai.

"I asked you to argue now? If you don't tell the master in my door, you will fight first. This mistake is punished now, and the rest will be discussed later!"

Li Tai threw a wooden knife to the bear boy and ordered, but Dugu Mu was still a little annoyed, his eyes were about to turn to his sister for help, but he saw Li Tai raised his foot behind him again, turned around and grabbed the wooden knife in a hurry With tears in his eyes, he swung his knife and hacked up the stake: "Drink, drink! Evil brother-in-law, don't listen to people's reasoning, and will never come to your house again!"

Cui Hongdu beside him had already consciously waved the wooden knife, but he just glanced back from time to time, and when he saw Li Tai looking over, he quickly whispered: "I'm rude to a guest, I will bear whatever my cousin punishes, but please don't commit two crimes with one crime." Punishment, don't let me, Aye, stick me again..."

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help thinking of the harsh education of his cousin Cui Cong when he first came to his house as a guest, so he couldn't help laughing, and replied: "I don't care how you teach you when you return home." Yes. But if you are punished too much here and your strength is exhausted, I can stay overnight."

When Cui Hongdu heard this, he was puzzled at first, but soon his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Dugu Mu as if in protest, and then he said loudly: "Biao Shu is very reasonable, which is very convincing! Not only today, but I will come tomorrow and the day after Visit and listen to the teaching!"

Li Tai looked at the two brats who were competing with each other for a while, and left his second brother Li Chao here to supervise them to be punished, and then he returned to the hall.

Cui Yu was very annoyed, pointing to the outside of the hall and angrily said: "This poor thing really deserves to be disciplined. Since it is so fierce and difficult to tame, I will make a special pair of iron armor to wear it in the future, and guard the house day and night. There will be many mistakes if you dare to make mistakes. stick!"

Li Tai couldn't help sweating when he heard this, he really wanted to ask this cousin if you have any grudge against your son?

　Sorry sorry, it's a little late. . .
