Yi Song

Chapter 207 One by One Inventory

Before Tong Guan arrived in Huazhou, he was furious and ordered to commit suicide by the official who once again felt that his trust was wrong after all.

The Xuanfu Envoy Department in Hedong, Shaanxi, under the leadership of Liu Guozhang, replaced a number of staff and returned to Weizhou to resume operations.

After the Shengjie Army was taken over, most of the officers were sent to the Lotus Temple in Kongtong Mountain to participate in study classes to clean up morale, eradicate child poisoning, and get to the bottom of things.

"Innocent" generals such as Jin Tuocui, Dang Guanjun, and Xia Shihou also went in to study. Others have nothing to say.

The main lecturer was Fan Zhengchen, the grandson of Fan Zhongyan and the fifth son of the commoner prime minister Fan Chunren.

The whole army was divided, and the cavalry, mainly the Fan cavalry, was organized into the Youyi Battalion, one of the camps of the Envoy Guard Army, and was positioned as light cavalry, or also called rangers.

Some of the elites were able to ride horses, shoot arrows, fight and fight, and were best at lurking and looking for traces. They were organized into the Tabai camp and positioned as scouts. Exploring roads and searching, detecting the enemy's situation, and detecting enemy ambush.

Some of the elite infantrymen, who are strong and brave, and who care about death more than justice, were organized into trap camps and positioned as heavy infantry.

The most elite unit, together with the elite guard camp brought from Bianjing, was organized into a personal camp, named Beiwei camp.

The most important task in eradicating the legacy of children and getting to the bottom of the problem is to audit the accounts.

If a battle is clarified, the details will be published in the "Shaanxi Xunbao" newly run by the Xuanfu Envoy Department, making it available to the public.

"Commander Jie, the Procuratorate has examined 3,460 officers and petty officials of the Western Army, state and county officials and subordinate staff, including all personnel of the Xuanfu Envoy Department."

In these years, in order to win over people's hearts, Tong Guan has resorted to deceit and fabrication of military merits; some have been embezzling and misappropriating. Those who are close to him have achieved great achievements even if they have no merit, while those who are far away have merits but have been misappropriated.

"How do you review it?"

From early May to mid-July, for more than two months, Liu Guozhang stayed in Weizhou City, traveling back and forth between Pingliang City and Kongtong Mountain Lotus Temple.

As long as you are interested and willing to talk, Liu Guozhang can talk with you for three days and three nights.

It's not about checking the economic accounts, but the military accounts.

The main thing is a clear reward and punishment, fairness and openness.

Talk about everything.

Changsun Mo took Huangfu Yuan, who was responsible for the investigation of the affairs, to report to Liu Guozhang.

Li Miao took charge of this matter, and went back ten years to investigate every recorded war, from the military commanders to the unknown soldiers, to clarify the military merits one by one, and who should belong to whom.

Then we will check the resume backwards, not letting go of anything suspicious.”

As soon as this move came out, everyone in the Western Army was excited, running around to tell each other, and they all praised the virtuous government.

What Liu Guozhang mainly did was to find people to talk to, starting with senior generals such as Liu Zhongwu and Zhong Shidao, and talked one by one. The content of the conversation varied, ranging from past wars to future strategies. From military discipline and tactics to baggage and supplies.

Huangfu Yuan, who is in charge of the specific matters of the Prosecution Office, replied: "Returning to Jieshuai, in accordance with the rules inherited from the Changshui Army, we first conduct a background investigation. The root cause must be found for everyone. Witnesses and evidence are indispensable.

Liu Guozhang nodded: "The Song Dynasty's spies are just a piece of shit. Shaanxi Bianjing is just a fence with ventilation everywhere. Over the years, Xixia has planted and bribed many spies in the Shaanxi army and localities.

No one knew what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd.

Every move we make, lift our buttocks and fart, everyone on the other side knows it clearly. But we know nothing about them. How can we fight this battle?

We must find out who is human and who is ghost, and it is a top priority! "

"Commander Jie, we identified 213 suspicious persons among them. In the end, it was found that 85 people were spies from Xixia, five spies from Beiliao, 17 people from the Hexi Room of the Privy Council, and two people from the Imperial City Department. People. The rest belong to fake names, changed names, or cannot tell the past."

"Don't be polite to the spies of Xixia and Beiliao. You must take something out of their mouths. The spies of Hexi Fang and Huangcheng Division should not move and keep watch secretly. As for those who faked or changed their names, we can't tell the past. Yes, go through it again to see if there are any details created by the Muni Cult Fang family or chess pieces planted by other forces." "Yes."

Liu Guozhang turned to Changsun Mo and said, "Ke Ni, in addition to interfering with the inspection department, you have another important matter. Counselor Li's investigation of military merit accounts has come to an end.

Those soldiers who had been embezzled for their military merits and withheld their rewards urged the General Office to determine the promotions they deserved and wanted them to be demoted. Give out the rewards you deserve. "

"My subordinates have been keeping an eye on this matter. Now, except for those that need approval from Bianjing and those that can be decided by the Xuanfu Envoy, the General Office has all decided and distributed them.

Mr. Murong will work with the Transportation Department to allocate the allocated rations as soon as possible. "

"Well, the Western Army involves 300,000 soldiers, spreads across five routes, many states and counties, and has many threads, but when it comes to it, there is only one thread: military morale!

Clear rewards and punishments are the only way to gather military morale and boost morale. This matter is the top priority of our current work! "

"My subordinates will remember it."

After Changsun Mo and Huangfu went down, King Murongye came. In addition to being the judge of the Xuanfu Envoy Department, he was also the deputy envoy of the Shaanxi Road Transport Department, and was an important bridge between the Xuanfu Department and the Transport Department.

The Shaanxi Transshipment Department is generally divided into east and west roads in Shaanxi. The west road is stationed in Weizhou and is responsible for the transportation of food and pay for the border army. The East Road was stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, responsible for the tax transfer of Guanzhong prefectures and counties, as well as the collection of food and salaries for the border troops.

In Tong Guan's hands, in order to make it easier to raise and transfer military rations and pay so that he could gain military merit, he hooked up with Cai Jing and played a word game to merge the Shaanxi East and West Road Transfer Envoys into the Shaanxi Road Transfer Envoys.

This was a great thing, and of course I accepted it with a smile.

Even the upright former Shaanxi transit envoy, Liu Kai, who was now promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs, served as a judge for Hejian Prefecture, and was also the Hebei transit envoy, did not say anything. Why did he take such arrogance?

However, Liu Guozhang made some adjustments. The deputy envoy Murong Yewang was stationed in Weizhou, and under the title of Shaanxi Transport Envoy Si Weizhou Xingsi, he was solely responsible for the food and salary supply of the Western Army.

Zhang Cui, the envoy, was stationed in Jingzhao Mansion and was responsible for raising food and wages.

Liu Guozhang also wanted to secretly control the finances of Shaanxi states and counties through him.

Only if you have military power and financial power can you dare to call yourself a prince.

"Brother Murong, have Xingsi's affairs been sorted out?"

"It's straightened out. In the past two months, we have dealt specifically with the matter of Tong Guan and his gang members being greedy for food and salary. These grandsons, greedy for Mo's food and salary, account for one-third of all food and salary expenditures based on the accounting alone."

"That's not bad!" Liu Guozhang replied with a smile, "Tong Guan still has to rely on the Western Army to fight up and down, give him military merit, and don't dare to deduct too much. You were also involved in the cases of Zhu Meng and Yang Jian. What's on the books One-third of the expenses are used for practical purposes, and they are considered to be loyal to the country, honest and upright."

King Murong Ye gave a wry smile, "Yes, I am satisfied too. I must spit out all the recourse that should be pursued and the confiscation that should be confiscated. It costs money to reissue rewards to thousands of soldiers who were embezzled for military merit. The next war will also require money."

"Once the war starts, there will be thousands of taels of gold. When the war starts, the food and salary will be like running water. You must be aware of it."

"I don't know how to count. The Shaanxi Transportation Department and Lao Niu broke the cart. These years, Tong Guan was still a little self-aware. He just stared at Hehuang and fought. Liu Kai tried his best to barely support it.

According to your style, this is definitely not the way to play. I feel scared. "

"Difficulties?"

"What a huge difficulty!"

"Tell me something."

"First of all, there are roads. Water transportation here is underdeveloped, and most of the food and wages are transported by land. But the roads in Shaanxi, especially the roads along the border, I personally visited several prefectures and counties in Huanqing and Qinfeng, and they are so bad. Just like a piece of rag. Seeing it makes me want to die."

"Don't die, I still have to rely on you for my food and salary. What can you do?"
