Chapter 242: Entitlement to Xuzhou officials

Chu Tian entered the city of Xiapi and collected Tao Qian's accumulation. He won 50,000 soldiers from the East China Sea and the Xiapi Kingdom, thousands of horses, hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, and countless food and grass.

Chen Gui and Chen Deng contributed the most to the city. Chu Tian appointed Chen Gui as the minister of the East China Sea, and Chen Deng was appointed as the deputy of the Dian Agricultural School, and Li Li was in charge of agriculture at the same time.

After Chen Gui and his sons were loyal, Chu Tian could already see their panels. The two members of the Chen family are not many talents in the Xiapi country, and they are both political talents.

[Name]: Chen Gui (character Hanyu)

[Talent]: Diamond-level civil minister

[Commander]: 15 [Strength]: 5 [Intelligence]: 83 [Politics]: 78 [Charm]: 74

[Phase]: Calm

Compared with the old Chen Gui, his son Chen Deng has better attributes. In history, Chen Deng offered Cao Cao the strategy of destroying Lu Bu and served as the prefect of Guangling, General Fubo, and prefect of Dongcheng.

Chen Deng was still a commander-in-chief. During his tenure as the prefect of Guangling, Sun Ce dispatched ten times his troops to attack Guangling. Instead, Chen Deng defeated the army sent by Sun Ce to attack. After that, Sun Quan attacked Guangling and was also defeated by Chen Deng. If it weren't for Chen Deng, maybe Guangling County was owned by Soochow.

[Name]: Chen Deng (character dragon)

[Talent]: Diamond-level civil minister

[Commander]: 85 [Strength]: 64 [Intelligence]: 81 [Politics]: 87 [Charm]: 74

[Phase]: Calm

[Feature 1]: Govern one side (A-level feature, when serving as the prefect, the overall development speed of the territory increases slightly, when serving as the governor, the effect is reduced)

[Feature 2]: Dian Nong (A-level feature, increased satisfaction of farmers in the county where they belong, and grain output +10%)

[Feature 3]: Persevere counterattack (A-level feature, when serving as the defender of the city, the defense power of the troops in the city is +10%; when the enemy is near the city, the defense effect disappears when the enemy is out of the city, the morale of the troops is +15, and the attack power is +10%)

Seeing Chen Deng's attributes, Chu Tian couldn't help but look at him. As expected, Chen Yuanlong, who has repeatedly defeated the Dongwu Sun family, has three A-level characteristics and is still a guard!

If Chen Deng is allowed to defend the border counties, the enemy will probably be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Chen Deng and his son welcomed him into Xiapi City. Otherwise, Chen Deng would defend Xiapi City and it would take some time to capture Xiapi City.

Seeing Chen Deng's attributes, Chu Tian couldn't help but want to appoint Chen Deng as the prefect.

But he has appointed Chen Gui as the minister of the East China Sea and Chen Deng as the prefect, then there will be two prefects in the Chen family.

Talent is good, but as a lord, how to divide powers and balances is very important.

With the five counties of Xuzhou, it is impossible for one family to occupy the position of two prefects, otherwise the tail will not fall. Therefore, only one of Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son can be the prime minister or prefect. Chu Tian temporarily ordered Chen Deng to serve as the Lieutenant of the Diannong School. Later, when Chen Gui retired, Chu Tianfang appointed Chen Deng as the prefect.

Chen Gui is a wise man and should know what Chutian means.

Chu Tian gathered the people in Xiapi City to decide the candidates for Xuzhou pastoral officials.

"Li Di became the minister of Langya and Chen Hui became the minister of East China Sea..."

Chu Tian announced the most important candidate for the prefect (national prime minister).

Chen Gui took the initiative to stand up: "Master Zhou Mu valued his ministers and should have done his best, but the minister is too old to be qualified for the post of East China Sea Minister. He also asked Master Zhou Mu to choose other talents."

Chen Gui is about to give up the position of Dong Hai minister so soon?

Chu Tian realized that Chen Gui took the initiative to abdicate in order to push his son up. They value the interests of the family. As long as the prefect is in the Chen family, it doesn't matter whether it is Chen Gui or Chen Deng.

"Never mind. Yuanlong is appointed as the minister of the East China Sea, and Li Li is also the lieutenant of the Dian Nong School. Han Yu stays by my side. I can listen to the opinions of the Xuzhou family."

Chu Tian acquiesced to Chen Gui's idea of ​​letting his son Chen Yuanlong be the minister of the East China Sea.

Chen Gui also has no thoughts. He is old, and the official position in his entire life is at best Donghai minister, but his son Chen Yuanlong is less than thirty.

If Chen Yuanlong becomes the prefect and accumulates meritorious service at this time, he may become the governor and the lintel in the future.

The family's priority is the family's interests, so Chen Gui's choice is the best solution for him.

Chu Tian had already seen Chen Gui's careful thinking, but Chen Deng was indeed a good candidate for the prefect, so he intentionally opened one eye and closed another.

If the Chen family fights for the position of two prefects, he will be furious.

At the same time, Chu Tian also kept an eye on him and brought Chen Gui with him. If Chen Deng rebelled, don't blame Chu Tian for being rude to his father. At present, the families in Xuzhou are not so trustworthy.

Chen Gui understands Chutian's intentions. For the sake of his son's future, it is nothing to be a hostage here. Chu Tian would definitely give him an unemployed job, maybe it could help his son's future.

"As for the candidate for Pixiang..."

Chu Tian glanced at the crowd.

Mi Zhu has made a lot of effort, and he thought that he would be named Xia Pixiang.

He is a member of the East China Sea, and Chen Deng is a member of the Xia Piren. It is very likely that Chu Tian will switch the positions of the two people. Chen Deng will be the Xiang Pi and Mi Zhu the Xia Pi Xiang.

But to Mi Zhu's surprise, Chu Tian's gaze fell on Xia Liang: "Miss Xia is the next Pixiang."

Everyone present was in an uproar in private, no one thought that Chu Tian would appoint a female minister, it was incredible.

Even if Xia Liang is a bit surprised, she thought she would be a county magistrate at most, but she didn't expect that the position of Xia Pixiang who needed to deal with the complicated situation would fall into her hands.

"Girl Xia defended Xiacheng twice, defeated more than 10,000 Taishan thief, more than 100,000 Xuzhou Army, and attacked the three counties of the East China Sea; once led her troops to support, she defeated 200,000 Xuzhou Army, but someone refused?"

In troubled times, speaking according to the fist, whoever has done the most can be in a high position. After Chu Tian counted out her merits, the officials in Xuzhou were terrified.

The only thing that can suppress the family is the magnificent military exploits!

Unlike the Xuzhou family, the generals of Langya Kingdom had no objection to this appointment.

As the lord, Chu Tian needs to appease the subordinates who have done so much.

"In addition, Miss Xia moved to the military lieutenant to supervise the county's national transportation and defense."

Chu Tian's decision caused quite a stir. The Warlord Colonel, who led Pixiang, was already one of the unshakable high-levels in Xuzhou!

"Chen Gui is the chief book."

"Zhou Yafu clung to his line, made great contributions, and moved to the general."

"Mulan attacked the enemy line, accumulated previous achievements, and moved the eagle to raise the captain."

"Xue Rengui attacked several counties in the East China Sea and moved to the military captain."

"Zhao Yunqian Li Feng Lieutenant."

"Li Guangqian rides the captain."

"Li Xiuning moved to Zhaowu Lieutenant."

"Mi Fang has merit, thanks to Captain Zhe Chong."

"Zang Ba Lizhan is seriously injured, worship Du Li."

"Sun Guan sacrificed his life to fight and worshipped the captain."

...

Chutian only gave General Zhou Yafu, and the rest were basically promoted to school lieutenant, captain, and county magistrate. Some school lieutenants were also miscellaneous school lieutenants he had made.

After Chu Tian calmed down, he suppressed the idea of ​​canonizing a general. There are still many opportunities to fight in the future. If a group of miscellaneous generals are now canonized, how can they be rewarded for their military exploits?

Without suppressing the official positions of the subordinates, I am afraid that in the future, to conquer various civilizations, only the king can satisfy this group of generals.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, Xiaowei was already a very high official position. It was precisely because the various princes continuously promoted their subordinates who had made military exploits in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation of miscellaneous generals walking everywhere.

Chu Tian must control the progress of his subordinates' promotion, neither too fast nor too slow. Too fast, in the future, except for the king, there is no way to re-appoint it, and even the king is not enough. If it is too slow, the subordinates will be dissatisfied.

"Mi Zhu is in charge of driving and Fang Qiao is in charge of governance."

Chu Tianling Ling Mi Zhu and Fang Xuanling were by their side to assist themselves, one providing financial advice and the other giving advice on governance.

Mi Zhu can replace the importance of summer cool in a certain sense. Chutian cannot always rely on one person to manage finances.

"Xia Pixiang, Captain of the Warlord..."

Although Xia Liang received two important official posts, he was a bit lost. The two official positions not only have real power, and their status is not low, but they must be independent.

The literati around Chu Tian became Fang Xuanling and Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu's own abilities were not bad, and he had the merits of the army. Chu Tian appointed him as a driver, and he also wanted to continue to get Mi Zhu's support.

Chutian appointed officials to all meritorious officials, while taking into account the interests of the old generals of Langya and the Xuzhou family.

When Tao Qian served as a pastoralist in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was already doing nothing. He couldn't get promoted except as prefect. In order to repay the Mi family, Chu Tian named Mi Fang as a school lieutenant, with the same status as Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and others.

Who made Mi Zhu give too much money...

Mi Zhu's gold and silver made Chu Tian cheer up quickly, swept Xuzhou, and then wooed the Chen family to obtain Xia Pi, and it was nothing to Feng Mifang as a captain.

In the future, the opportunity for Mi Fang to lead troops to fight alone will be reduced.

"Everyone thinks, should we take Pengcheng country first or Guangling County first?"

Chu Tian took this opportunity to ask the Xuzhou officials for their opinions.

East China Sea and Xiapi were basically controlled by Chutian, and only two counties remained, Pengcheng Country and Guangling County.

Chen Gui said: "Guangling County and Pengchengguo are still defending. Guangling is low-lying, with dense water nets and swamps, and bandits and bandits are rampant, which is not conducive to large-scale operations. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the minister recommended that the state and animal husbandry take Pengcheng country first. , And then take Guangling County."

Chen Deng also seconded: "The ministers and others are home to Huaipu, close to Guangling County and familiar with the terrain of Guangling County. Guangling County is indeed difficult to attack. But if the lord wants to pacify Guangling County in the future, Yuanlong is willing to be the pioneer."

"Then we first take Pengchengguo."

Chutian knew that the terrain of Guangling County was complicated, and the lord of Guangling County had Yang Ye as the main general, it was very difficult to pacify Guangling County.

In contrast, Pengchengguo is located in the North Jiangsu Plain, and the army can run rampant, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.

After determining the next strategy, Chu Tian feasted the officials in Xiapi City to show encouragement.

With more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the three counties, Chutian is even more ambitious.

Based on the drunkenness of the last celebration banquet, Chu Tian was very cautious this time and did not drink much.

Fang Xuanling reminded Chu Tian to prevent him from expanding too violently: "Master, although we have collected 50,000 soldiers from Xuzhou, plus the soldiers from the Battle of Xuzhou and the soldiers from Langya, we have more than 100,000 soldiers. But most They are all temporary recruits. It will take a year or two to reorganize the elite."

"I will only recover Xuzhou, recuperate for a year or two, and then try to make progress."

Chu Tian was also afraid that it would expand too quickly, leading to the loss of his talent.

The soldiers and horses are fighting more and more, but the elite is less, and they have to divide the troops to defend the larger and larger territory.

Except for the sea, Xuzhou has enemies on three sides.

Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the north, Yuzhou in the west, and Guangling County and Yangzhou in the south are all likely to invade Xuzhou.

If you eat Xuzhou in one breath, you will soon gain and lose if you suffer from indigestion.

Chu Tian found out that the two daughters of Mulan and Hua Mulan were constantly drinking wine in summer, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Miss Xia, you haven't fully recovered from your injury. Don't indulge in alcohol."

The summer is cold and red, and it is obvious that the head is on the top: "I, I don't want to be a bad guy."

Hua Mulan also booed aside: "I don't want to be Captain Yingyang at the end."

"..."

Xia Pixiang and Ying Yang are senior officials in Xuzhou. These two women are still not satisfied, this is to rebel.

"The two are drunk, Li Xiuning, take them back."

Chu Tian asked the calm Li Xiuning to drag the two away to prevent them from drinking too much.

Li Xiuning brought a few women's soldiers over, ready to take Xia Liang and Hua Mulan away.

"Lord, let your subordinates act as the master recorder, and give them to Chen Gui, okay?"

Xia Liang grabbed the corner of Chutian's clothes, sobbed down his breasts, and wanted to change office with Chen Gui.

"Making nonsense, do you just change the official position? Li Xiuning, take them away."

Chu Tian would not easily adjust the official positions that had been arranged.

Changing the positions of two people is not a joke, it will affect the entire Xuzhou governance system.

Chen Deng has been appointed as the minister of the East China Sea, and it is impossible for Chen Gui to be the minister of the East China Sea.

It is difficult to change what is announced in public.

Xia Liang hugged Li Xiuning, pear blossoms with tears.

Chu Tian has seen people crying because of the joy of promotion, but he has never seen people crying because of the promotion...

as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.

The two of them were taken to Pianshe by the Women's Army.

The fierce generals of Langya country feasted and didn't notice the situation here, especially Hua Xiong grabbed the pig's hoof and gobbled it down, full of pride.

Fang Xuanling, Mi Zhu, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and other civil servants saw it and knew it well.

Mi Zhu was relieved: "That's it."

Fang Xuanling shook the wine bowl thoughtfully.

There are many ways to make merit.

The marching war is the credit, the outstanding political achievement is the credit, the money and the army is the credit and...

"interesting."

Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son looked at each other. They were both smart and quickly understood.

However, as new officials, they are inconvenient to talk about some things, and they are only suitable as spectators.

Chu Tian returned to the main position and respected the officials again. After careful consideration, he said to Fang Xuanling, "I will give Miss Xia another position as a clerk, and Hua Mulan will have a false position as a clerk."

Shuzuo, that is, the clergyman who assisted the state shepherd or the county guard in organizing documents, has a low status. Compared with Xia Pixiang and the captain of the warlord, it can be said that there is no sense of existence.

The superintendent of the sect was an official of General An Dong, and he had no sense of existence.

Fang Xuanling had no objection to such a small official position.

The whole of Xuzhou belongs to Chutian. As long as Chutian is satisfied, he can appoint any official position, especially some insignificant official positions.
