The World of Yellow Sky

As for the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, after Xu An finally weighed the pros and cons, he handed it over to Xu You.

Xu You's former Internal Affairs Department in Jinyang has always been able to handle people's livelihood and political affairs with ease. He has made no mistakes for several years, and everything has been arranged in an orderly manner by him.

And the most important thing is that Xu You's merits can no longer be solved by a Lingjun of the Department of Internal Affairs alone.

When Xu An was promoted to Jia Xu as the Commander of the Chinese Army, Xu You's reaction at that time was taken into account by Xu An.

The reason why Xu You was not used was not because he thought Xu You would rebel.

In the current situation, Xu You joined the Taiping Dao very early, and forged a lot of enmity with the Han court. It can be said that basically there will be no more rebellion.

What's more, the monitoring place of the Eagle Wolf Guard has already built a sufficiently stable intelligence network inside the Taiping Road. Among the government offices, even the troubles in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and now Zhongzhou can't hide it from Eagle Wolf. Guardian's eyes and ears.

The reason why Jia Xu was chosen as the mastermind is mainly because of his reputation in history. Jia Xu has served many masters. Although he often plans for himself in order to repay him, he always does his best every time. For the sake of the lord.

Moreover, in history, Jia Xu was superior to Xu You in terms of reputation, resourcefulness and evaluation. Coupled with the relationship between Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, Xu An also made the final decision.

It’s just that Xu An also understands that it is impossible for Xu You to be the commander of the Department of Internal Affairs all the time. There are not many counselors under Xu An’s command, and Yan Zhong’s health is getting worse. I can't help you too much. Now there are only two counselors in Taipingdao, Jia Xu and Xu You.

Retaining Xu You as the Department of Internal Affairs can only be said to be an overkill, and it will inevitably arouse Xu You's dissatisfaction.

This time, Xu An promoted Xu You to be the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, and Xu You, who had been quite dissatisfied for a long time, finally felt a little relieved.

The fourth grade is already a rare high-ranking official in the Taiping Dao.

You must know that in the current Yellow Turban Army, the highest military ranks of the generals and schools are only the fourth grade, and these are senior generals such as Gong Du, Lu Bu, and Ma Teng, and the rest of the generals are only titles even if they have made great military achievements No.) General.

Now in the Taiping Dao, Xu An is the Marquis of Jin, and the general of chariots and riders, and his official position is only the second rank.

After the reform of local administration came the reform of the Taipingdao central government system.

Originally, Xu'an set up the Central Military Office, the Ministry of War, the Department of Propaganda and Education, the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Department of External Affairs to take charge of various affairs.

At that time, Taiping Road only occupied the area of ​​Bingzhou, and Xu An simply divided its powers and levels, and there were not many problems at that time.

However, with the development of Taiping Road, from one place in Bingzhou, with a population of less than one million, to today's population of several million, across states and counties, many problems have arisen.

Now the official system of Taipingdao has undergone reforms and has evolved into one guard, three mansions, and nine ministries.

One Guard naturally refers to the Eagle Wolf Guard. As an intelligence gathering agency, the Eagle Wolf Guard is directly under Xu An, and its status is the highest. Liu Pi, as the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, ranks third.

You must know that the position of state shepherd is only a third-rank official position in Taiping Dao, which means that Liu Pi, the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, is already equivalent to the state shepherd of the same state.

The two mansions refer to the three mansions of Zhongjun Mansion, Zhongshu Mansion, and Xuanjiao Mansion.

When the meeting was held in Jinyang, it was determined that the Central Military Mansion was the highest commanding body of the Yellow Turban Army, and all military orders and government orders came from the Central Military Mansion and the various divisions under the Central Military Mansion.

In such a situation, two problems emerged. The first is that the Central Military Government has too much jurisdiction, and government affairs and military affairs are all from the Central Military Government. The second is that it is inconvenient to be in charge of multiple affairs.

So Xu An added the Zhongshufu to share the power of the Zhongjunfu.

The Zhongshu Office is in charge of confidentiality, issuing government orders, and evaluating officials.

The Central Army Mansion is in charge of military-related affairs. It is in charge of military and state affairs, military defense, border preparations, and military orders.

The Mission Mansion is also the Mission Department. Xu An changed the Department to the Mansion, and changed the Mission Department to the Mission Mansion.

In fact, both Jia Xu and Xu You felt a little weird about Xu An's move. In their opinion, a government office that preaches the scriptures should not have such a high status, and should not be in conflict with the Zhongjunfu and the Zhongshu. Two such important government departments are listed as government-level departments.

But in the end, Xu Anli overcame all opinions and confirmed the status of the Missionary Mansion, setting it as the third government-level department.

Xu An came from later generations, and he is very aware of the importance of publicity. Now Taipingdao has been developing in a better and better direction under his modification, and the new Taipingdao ideas have begun to take root in the territory of Taipingdao. thrive.

Newspaper offices in various places have been established one after another. Although those newspaper offices have just been established, they are quite simple, and the way of operation is still under consideration. It has cost a lot of money and food, but Xu An knows that it is worth it.

The propaganda wars of later generations are so terrifying that they can disintegrate a powerful country and subvert a country with just propaganda.

Although it is Han Dynasty, there is no TV, radio, Internet and other mass media, but the power of propaganda is still extremely powerful.

The Nine Divisions are the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Privy Council, and the Staff Department, which are the administrative departments at the ministerial level.

The original name of the Ministry of War was abolished, and the old Ministry of War was changed to the Privy Council, whose chief officer was the Privy Council.

The Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are seven departments under Zhongshufu.

The Privy Council and the General Staff Council are subordinate institutions of the Central Military Government.

The four division-level administrative departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Staff Council are newly established departments.

Under the Ministry of Officials, there are Sifeng Division, Sixun Division, and Examination Division, which are in charge of the appointment and removal, examination, promotion, promotion, and transfer of officials.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, water conservancy, transportation and other affairs, and the workshops in various places are also managed by the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters.Its internal government affairs are divided into divisions by region.

The General Staff is a newly established department responsible for a series of military activities such as the formulation of strategic plans and military training.

One is short, two are long.

Outstanding students who graduate from the lecture hall will become trainee staff officers of the staff department.

Afterwards, these trainee staff members will first enter the army. After experiencing several battles and gaining enough practical experience, they will be transferred back to the staff headquarters to participate in the formulation of various plans as a formal staff officer.

At present, schoolchildren in Taiping Road have not been widely enrolled, and there are not enough students. Therefore, the current staff is mostly older and more experienced generals and schools in the Yellow Turban Army.

But despite this, their minds are still clear. The experience of frontline combat keeps them from talking on paper, and the training in the martial arts hall allows them to combine knowledge and practice.

In the third year of Chuping, on October [-]st,

Taipingdao formally implemented the system of three government offices and nine departments.

Chapter 672 Zhongzhou

In golden autumn in October, cinnamon is fragrant.

The order in Guanzhong was quickly restored under the maintenance of the Yellow Turban Army, and the public trials of the Eagle Wolf Guards were carried out one after another in various places in Guanzhong with strong support.

Few of the powerful families who did not follow Huangfusong, Wang Yun and others escaped the trial of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

Some of them hid in the Wubao, gathered together to defend themselves, trying to escape the trial, some wanted to escape overnight, into the mountains and forests, and escaped from the pass through secret passages, and some joined forces with other families. forces, tried to incite the local villagers to want to make trouble, and then fled Guanzhong while taking advantage of the chaos.

However, under absolute power, all resistance is futile and ridiculous.

Those tyrants who gathered together to defend themselves and tried to evade judgment in vain by relying on their strong fortress, their fortress collapsed amidst the roar of the counterweight catapult, and were razed to the ground, and the others were killed by the tyrants of the eagle wolf guards. Riding Sona, arrested and imprisoned, to stand trial.

Those who fled overnight and wanted to escape from Guanzhong through the secret passage, were soon caught by the wolf guard's Tiqi, and they were easily pulled out.

Most of the six-door arresters are rangers. They are well-informed and quick-witted, and they also know the escape methods of those so-called powerful families. No matter whether they are disguised or concealed, they cannot escape their eyes.

It is even more unbearable for those who unite forces from other families to try to incite the local villagers to make trouble. Their incitement is meaningless. The soldiers of the Wolf Guards and Yellow Turban Army, as well as the teachers of the Mission Department have already It is to clearly explain what the Yellow Turban Army will do, from the city to the pavilion.

After the detectives of the Eagle Wolf Guard sent the information about those powerful families trying to incite the villagers to the Qianhu Office of the Zhongzhou Wolf Guard outside Chang'an City, a large number of soldiers and horses were dispatched soon.

In the third year of Chuping (192), October [-]th.

Outside the city of Chang'an, there are many horses and powerful families in Guanzhong. They all bow their heads when they hear the driver's stickers, and all the eagles and wolves bow down.

The name of Eagle Wolf Guard resounded throughout Guanzhong.

Thousands of heads fell to the ground, tens of thousands of scholars were distributed, and hundreds of thousands of people were implicated.

Xu An didn't have the slightest sympathy, and issued a large number of driving stickers for Eagle Wolf Guards.

Strictly enforce the law, this time, the Eagle Wolf Guard almost uprooted the entire remaining Guanzhong Family Group.

The public trial lasted for nearly a month, and the public security in the entire Guanzhong has been greatly improved because of this more than a month.

Tens of thousands of people were sentenced to reform through labor, which also provided Taiping Road with a lot of free manpower.

Some of these hundreds of thousands of people are scholars, and the other part are members of their township party and clan.

The public trial sentenced them to one to several years, or even more than ten years of reform through labor. They will pay off their sins through labor in mines in various places and some workshops under the jurisdiction of Taipingdao.

And those villains with the most serious crimes, rampant in the villages, wandering in the market, hooligans, and bullies will not even be given the opportunity to reform through labor.

The local police forces on Taiping Road were stationed in various places, and the farmland was organized under Xu You's arrangement, and the local garrison troops also moved into various passes.

Wuguan had been occupied by the Han army before. After Xu An led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army back, he sent Xu Huang to lead the troops southward.

Wuguan is "Three Qin Fortress", "Qin Chu Throat".

Its Guancheng was built on a relatively flat highland among the canyons, with the steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north and dangerous points in the south.

The circumference of Wuguanguan City is more than [-] meters. The city wall is made of earth and is slightly square.

Although the terrain of Wuguan is quite dangerous, it soon fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army under repeated onslaughts by the Yellow Turban Army with counterweight catapults.

It is really rare to see such a long and narrow pass like Shenyuan Pass, only the road to Shu can be compared with it.

In the Battle of Yuanguan, the Xiliang camp was attacked. Although Guan Hai dealt with the unexpected situation in time, it was indeed his fault that the Xiliang camp suffered losses. Naturally, Guan Hai could not take the position of the chief officer of the Xiliang camp.

However, Guan Hai still has abilities, and Guan Hai is from the old Yellow Turban Army, so he is worthy of trust. After weighing the pros and cons, Xu An finally asked Guan Hai to guard Wuguan, and at the same time sent General Ji Ang to guard Hangu Pass. .

Nanting now needs to face Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has the advantage at this time, and he will definitely not easily provoke the Yellow Turban Army again, so Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass will not be too much pressure, and most importantly, even if Yuan Shao and Nan Ting got mad and came to attack, so the Yellow Turban Army can also quickly reinforce the two levels.

In fact, there are not many ordinary farmers' fields in Guanzhong, which is thousands of miles away. It can even be said that there is not a single inch of fertile land in Guanzhong, and the fertile fields belong to the poor people.

The entire Guanzhong is the private property of powerful families. The thousands of miles of fertile fields and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land do not belong to those farmers who plan and eat in the fields all day long, but belong to those powerful families who sit at home and stretch out their hands to eat.

The land in Guanzhong was captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and the Eagle Wolf Guards took back all the land from those powerful families.

Xu An ordered the Eagle Wolf Guards to take out some of the belongings of those powerful families during the public trial, distribute them to the suffering people according to the situation, and confiscate the rest for public use.

All the fields were confiscated and compiled into books. Then, according to the actual situation, officials and clerks were dispatched to implement the farming system, and some people from Bingzhou and Liangzhou were moved to Guanzhong to implement the farming system.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields, millions of people.

Xu An was shocked by the autumn harvest in Guanzhong.

Not shock, but shock.

Xu An never imagined that the harvest in this area of ​​Guanzhong alone was much more than the grain harvest under the entire old Taiping Dao.

Yan Zhong also completely remodeled the entire original Chang'an city shortly after the autumn harvest.

All the government offices on Taiping Road have been relocated to Chang'an City, and the two national colleges in Yingtian Mansion have also been completed.

The copies of the books in the two original Han Dynasty Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion were also sent to the workshop, which recorded and carved all the bamboo slips into paper books.

Many places in Chang'an City have been transformed into residential buildings. The originally chaotic buildings outside the city have become orderly under Yan Zhong's arrangement. Many buildings have been demolished, and a large number of people have been recruited to repair them. Residential houses, building new houses.

And the cost of all this is actually nothing to today's Taipingdao.

After conquering Guanzhong, what Xu An obtained was not only the territory originally owned by Dong Zhuo, but also a large amount of treasures from Dong Zhuo and the treasury of the Han Dynasty.

When Wang Yun and Huangfusong left Chang'an City in a hurry, they didn't take much with them.

The current Taipingdao can be said to be much richer than it has ever been.

After several times of destruction, the powerful family in Guanzhong is no longer as powerful as it used to be. The most powerful powerful family also fled with Wang Yun and Huangfusong.

The century-old heritage of the entire powerful family in Guanzhong was swept away by the Eagle Wolf Guard.

The wealth accumulated by the powerful families in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, as well as Dong Zhuo's sweep of Luoyang, although a lot of treasures stolen from the excavation of the imperial tomb were squandered, most of them were finally obtained by Taipingdao.

Today's Taiping Dao can really be called a strong army.

Xu An also finally understood why the land of Guanzhong was known as "the karma of descendants and emperors forever".

……

With the sound of exploding feet, one year old is removed, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.

Another year is approaching, and the once magnificent Yingtian Mansion has been covered by boundless white snow.

"Woo——"

Xu An lightly pulled the reins, reined in the horses under his seat, and stopped in front of a palace. The dozen or so cavalry behind him also made the same movement, Qiqi reining in their horses.

Xu An pinned the whip in his hand to his waist, and walked towards the palace with fast pace.

On the pavilion, a plaque hangs on the pavilion - the staff department.

The hall here is the staff department under the Central Military Mansion, one of the nine departments of the Three Mansions.

The "Staff Headquarters" on the plaque are all vigorous and very solemn.

Seeing Xu An approaching, the two soldiers guarding the gate first saluted, and then quickly opened the gate of the palace.

The palace was pulled apart, and a gust of hot wind could obviously be felt gushing from the palace.

The airflow is turbulent, and the snowflakes are fluttering.

Although the outside world is icy and snowy, the palace is still quite warm.

In the very center of the palace, there is a huge sand table that is well-made and extremely detailed.
