Tibet

Chapter 401 Returning to Broken Leaf
Generally speaking, the six ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty were all empty appointments, and they were concurrently held by foreign senior officials or ministers of the state. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Jun also served as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. These are just titles.

Especially foreign officials, who had nothing to do with the Sixth Ministry, even if An Sishun went to Beijing, he would never go to the Ministry of Industry to visit his subordinates, he would never go.

The real power and daily affairs of the various ministries are in the hands of the Minister of War, but the situation of the Ministry of War is special. A single minister of the Ministry of War cannot control the millions of troops in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Dugu Lie, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is sealed. Although he does not care about daily affairs, the Ministry of War has the right to approve in his hand.

In the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of War was split into two departments, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. There was no Privy Council in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor Li Longji monopolized military power, but he actually didn't have the energy to care about the army, so he gave part of the military power to In the Ministry of War, let Shangshu and Shilang each take part of the military power, and Dugulie's power is actually equivalent to a privy envoy.

It was also for this reason that Dugu Lie had the power to secretly assist Li Ye, arrange for his family members with the army, arrange for him his confidantes, and prepare a large number of camels and supplies for him.

...........
At nightfall, Dugu Ying found an opportunity and said to Li Ye: "Our Hezhong army is in short supply of generals, there are only three Ying Yang Lang generals, and half of Ying Ji Lang is also missing. Do you have any ideas from the governor?"

Li Ye nodded, "I still have some confidantes in Suiye, I plan to put them in, like my cousin Pei Xiu, and my uncle's son-in-law An Taixuan, they are both talented people, and now they are my substitutes. Sitting in Suiye, I plan to promote them to General Yingyanglang. In addition, I have a confidant named Hei Spear who serves as General of Modao Army in Anxi Army. I plan to transfer him back to Suiye as General Yingyanglang. "

"It's a pity that Junlang Modao will serve as General Yingyanglang of the general army!"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "I also have a 500-man Modao army in Suiye, which was left to me by Cheng Qianli. The official position is General Ying Yang Lang."

Dugu Ying was overjoyed, "It's great that the Hezhong Army also has the Modao Army!"

"In this way, there will be six Yingyanglang generals, but Black Spear doesn't count. In fact, there are only five people, preferably six people. Each of them will lead an army of two thousand, but there is still one person short."

Dugu Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "How about letting the humble job take over?"

The deputy governor is just a nice name, but has no real power. If the deputy governor was sent by the imperial court, Li Ye would never agree to it and just make it empty, but Dugu should be a general of Dugu's family, and he is trustworthy. Li Ye nodded happily, "Yes, You are concurrently serving as General of the Sixth Battalion Ying Yang Lang."

Dugu Ying struggled with this problem all the way. It is too boring to be the deputy governor, because Li Ye is also the general of the first battalion. up.

Dugu Ying was overjoyed and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Thank you for your trust!"

Li Ye, Duguying, Wang Xuanwu, Duan Xu, Pei Xiu, An Taixuan, and Hei Mao, these seven were officially designated as the top generals of the Hezhong Army.

Of course, Li Ye did not forget the old days. Through Dugulie's relationship, he also transferred a group of old brothers such as Yu Chiguang, Wang Yu, and Wu Tai. The brigade commander and seven or eight other veterans who followed him in Shuofang were also transferred here.

Yu Chiguang was directly appointed by him as General Yingjilang, Wang Yu and Wu Tai were promoted to school lieutenants, and the other brothers were promoted to brigade commanders, so they have made it through.

But the middle and low-level generals were still not enough, Li Ye was going to pick someone from the three hundred private troops of the Pei family who had been following him all the time.

Early the next morning, Wai Lang Wang Sheng, a member of the Ministry of War, went back with a few entourages.

Li Ye continued to lead the army westward, and after walking for three full months, on April 1th, the [-] Hezhong Army finally arrived at Suiye City.

At present, Suiye is in charge of Cen Shen, Pei Xiu and An Taixuan. Among them, Cen Shen is in charge of government affairs, Pei Xiu and An Taixuan are in charge of military affairs. Under the big camp.

When the army entered the barracks, Cen Can sent people to bring [-] pigs, [-] sheep, and [-] bags of sheep wine. The three armies slaughtered pigs and sheep, and drank heavily.

Cen Shen, Pei Xiu and An Taixuan came to the big tent to hand over their orders.

Li Ye comforted them well, thanked them for their hard work in the past six months, and announced their new positions at the same time.

Cen Shen served as the recorder of the Hezhong Dudu Mansion and joined the army, under Changshi and Sima. Wang Changling's judge and Gao Shi's recorder joined the army at the same level as him.

Then the other three staff members, Chen Huan, Yang Shaohua, Qiu Xuan, and Qiao Bin, were civilian officers of the Hezhong Army.

The Hezhong Governor's Mansion is divided into two parts, one is government affairs and the other is the army. Only Li Ye crosses over and becomes the governor of Hezhong Mansion and the commander of Hezhong Army.

Everyone quickly adapted to their respective roles. For several days, Li Ye was so busy that he couldn't breathe.

In the past, Suiye was just a military town, but now the military town has been upgraded to the Dudu's Mansion, which is completely different. The Dudu's mansion alone needs to be expanded.

Dozens of civil servants and officials were to be recruited, so the Chief Shi Xie Jin was in charge of this matter, and Cen Shen assisted.

What Li Ye is most concerned about is food. The court will not transport food to him, and he needs to solve it by himself. More than 1 people eat three meals a day. How can he feed so many people?

Their [-] camels carried not only food, but also a large amount of military supplies and daily necessities. The food was eaten up on the road, and now they can only count on broken leaves for food.

Fortunately, Suiye Jun’s military colony has done a good job, growing grain, raising sheep, fish, pigs, chickens and ducks, etc. There are 30 sheep alone, but they can be eaten for half a year at most. What will happen after half a year?
In the morning, Li Ye brought a group of officials to the wheat field. The wheat field is in the Grand Canyon of the Chu River. The Grand Canyon of the Chu River is located between the Qianquan Mountains and the Kunge Mountains. There are also more than twenty miles. On both sides of the river are large expanses of grassland and forests. From time to time, you can see a flock of sheep. It is an extremely rare oasis.

The Chu River runs from northwest to southeast. The wheat field is on the south bank, while the sheep are only on the north bank, so that the sheep can avoid spoiling the wheat seedlings.

There are [-] hectares of wheat fields, and the winter wheat is planted. At this time, it is late April, and the wheat has already headed. It is the time when the green and yellow alternate, and the wheat will mature in another month.

At present, An Taixuan is in charge of the military village. He introduced to everyone: "There is plenty of water and sunshine here, and we can do two crops a year. After we harvested the wheat in late May, we will plant another season of corn. Not bad, the yield of wheat per mu is about 350 catties, and the yield of corn is also 180 catties per mu.”

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Thirty hectares of land is too little. We must have more than four hundred hectares of ration land, with an average of three mu of ration land for each soldier. With the addition of mutton, we can guarantee military rations."

Gao Shi asked: "Can the land here be farmed just after it has been reclaimed? It doesn't need to be cultivated for a year."

Cen Shen said with a smile: "The soil here is very fertile. You can germinate just by inserting a branch. You don't need to mature it. It can be cultivated in the same year when it is cultivated."

Li Ye nodded, "The land here is extremely vast, so the whole army should be mobilized to reclaim fertile land and rush to plant the next half of the year's crop of grain."

Xie Jin was a little worried and said, "We won't be able to harvest a large amount of grain until May next year. I'm afraid the crop in the second half of the year may not be enough."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "It's not a big problem. The Yaosha River Basin where the Sogdian countries are located is a famous grain-producing area, and Tucharo is also a land of grain production. We can buy some grain, and then the Geluolu people will pay back the debt." I have 60 sheep, and I gave Ge Luolu's strength to the Ministry of Agriculture, and they still owe me part of the spoils."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed together: "Then hurry up and open up wasteland together!"
