Chapter 1125: A Bowl Of Water Is Flat (14/18)

The establishment of the Northern Border Protectorate by the imperial court was not only out of Ouyang Shuo's need for the promotion of Bai Hua and the other four, but also for the strategic needs of the dynasty. It was not just for promotion, but for establishment.

Like northern Xinjiang, far away from the center of the dynasty, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is isolated outside. Although there is a teleportation array, it is inconvenient after all. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a regional organization to coordinate the military and administrative affairs of the provinces.

This is how Duhufu came into being.

Seeing that there was some enthusiasm, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to pour cold water on him, "It is a good thing to set up the Protectorate, but there is one thing I want to say up front, so I hope you can understand."

"Please say!"

"The ministers of the DPRK and China have mentioned to me long ago that the feudal officials cannot serve in one place for a long time, so there is a three-year term of office; let alone serve in the place where they are based, in other words, they have to work in different places."

Having said that, て砆 looked a little embarrassed.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo still had to speak clearly to avoid further misunderstandings, "According to my original intention, I also hope that you will be the Protector of Northern Xinjiang. It's just that the cabinet can't get through, so I can only wrong you for the time being."

"fine."

 Although he still felt a little embarrassed, after Ouyang Shuo's explanation, he finally felt better.

"You don't have to be discouraged. Let me tell you the truth. Once the imperial court takes down Tubo, it will set up the Xijiang Protectorate. The position of Xijiang Protector is yours."

In order to avoid being overwhelmed, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to reveal the court plan in advance.

Calling the four of them together this time is precisely to dispel their doubts in their hearts, lest they be suspicious of each other and cause any unpleasant things to happen.

"Don't worry, I understand."

With Ouyang Shuo's promise, he was completely convinced and had no more complaints.

"That's good!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled brightly.

In fact, it was the intention of the courtiers and Ouyang Shuo himself to ask for a post in a different place. He had long believed in one thing, that he could trust a person, but he had to take precautions before it happened.

It seems contradictory, but in fact it is the way to employ people.

げ砆 has been entrenched in the north for a long time, and once he takes office as the governor of northern Xinjiang, who knows what will happen.

Having said that, the candidates for the Northern Border Guard can only be selected from among Bai Hua, Mu Lanyue and Siege Lion. Mulanyue is guarding overseas and cannot leave for the time being, so she can also be excluded.

Between Bai Hua and the Siege Lion, Ouyang Shuo chose the Siege Lion.

It's not that Ouyang Shuo valued the siege lion more, on the contrary, but that Ouyang Shuo had higher expectations for Bai Hua, and he laid the groundwork for her early on, waiting for the time to mature.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the siege lion, and said with a smile, "Northern Border Protectorate, I'll leave you alone!"

The siege lion was a little surprised when he heard this. In terms of seniority, Mulanyue is the most senior and Baihua is the strongest. It is impossible for him to be the one.

But since Ouyang Shuo made a decision, the siege lion didn't shirk it, so he stood up and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to guard and return the northern border for the imperial court."

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Of course I believe you!"

After saying that, everyone laughed, and the previous embarrassment was swept away. Through this open and honest conversation, the five of them seemed to be getting closer again.

Since growth is inevitable and inevitable, everyone must learn to adapt to each other and constantly adjust their relationship with each other, which is also one of the signs of maturity.

Otherwise, it is false maturity.

After the group talk, Ouyang Shuo had a separate talk with Bai Hua and Mu Lanyue, the main thing was to click in advance where they would work in the future, so that they could have a psychological expectation.

It's not like to say that Ouyang Shuo is favoring one person over another.

"It's hard to be a parent!"

Ouyang Shuo, the parent of Daxia, has to learn to level a bowl of water all the time.

…………

Early the next morning, Bai Hua and Mu Lanyue left the capital.

The reason why he didn't leave was because his position had to be moved. The siege lion served as the guardian of northern Xinjiang. If て砆 was still the governor of northern Xinjiang, there would be a difference between the two.

In order to avoid embarrassment, after Ouyang Shuo talked with him, he decided to transfer him to Jiangchuan Province to take over the post of governor of Jiangchuan under the siege lion.

Ouyang Shuo, the new Governor of Northern Xinjiang, delineated Han Qi, the prefect of Changsha.

As a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi served as Prime Minister for ten years and assisted the three dynasties. In the middle dynasties, he strategized to make the dynasties move to Qingming and make the world happy;

Han Qi can be described as a model bureaucrat, as famous as Fu Bi, and is also called "Fu Han".

By the way, Fu Bi has also defected to Daxia, and is currently serving as the governor of Hanzhong in the province of Shu.

The siege lion didn't leave, so Ouyang Shuo had to explain to him about the deployment of the Liao and Jin provinces. Although Huo Guang, Governor of Liao and Jin was responsible for this matter, the siege lion also knew a thing or two and was responsible for supervising it.

There are three main definitions of the Liao and Jin provinces by the imperial court.

First, the province is a major supplier of iron ore and coal.

The Kingdom of Jin has limited ore mining technology and a lack of craftsmen. It guards a treasure land empty-handed, but does not know how to develop it. In the hands of Daxia, it will naturally be quite different.

The future Liaojin province will become one of the main iron ore suppliers of the dynasty.

Second, the core ranch of the dynasty.

The Great Xia dominates the south, and some of them are just sporadic small pastures, unable to form a scale, which has formed a certain constraint on the development of the dynasty's cavalry.

With the vast grasslands of Liaojin Province, the situation will be very different.

The high-quality war horses bred by Daxia, such as the green clam horses, Mongolian horses, and Yili horses, will all establish corresponding pastures in the Liao and Jin provinces to provide the dynasty with a steady stream of high-quality war horses.

Half of the millions of war horses captured this time will continue to be stocked, so as to select the best from the best.

Third, it is a place where nomadic civilization and farming civilization are mixed.

Defeating the Jin Kingdom does not mean defeating the Jurchens. Nearly six million Jurchens can continue to live in the Liao and Jin provinces, and they will also become one of the main groups of herders.

The future Liaojin Province will not only herd horses, but also vigorously develop animal husbandry.

At the same time, the Liaojin Province will also introduce farming civilization. It is estimated that millions of Han people will move here to live on the grasslands. While developing agriculture, they will vigorously develop industry and mining.

National integration is also a major feature of the Liao and Jin provinces.

Fortunately, Daxia has accumulated a wealth of experience in this area, and he can manage it with ease.

Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the Liaojin Province, in addition to forming the Liaojin Guard Division as usual, the Northern Xinjiang Army led by Yue Fei will also move its headquarters to Huining Mansion and Yongzhen Beijiang.

All in all, Liaojin Province is a treasure land, but it also needs to be developed step by step, and it is inevitable to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in the early stage.

When the siege lion got up and went to the stubborn stone city to take up his post, preparing to set up the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate there, the new round of army reorganization in Daxia had just kicked off.
