Chapter 486 Liangzhou Bureau, family members and army

Since Emperor Shenwu swept away all the anti-kings a hundred years ago, he realized that the clans that were too big to lose were just like a cancer that kept the empire weakening. Therefore, Emperor Shenwu took advantage of that catastrophe and waved his sword to the already deeply rooted clan forces.

The forces of the aristocratic family were severely damaged. After that, Emperor Shenwu also vigorously restrained local aristocratic families and even surveilled local aristocratic families. Although Emperor Shenwu's collapse and after two dynasties, this surveillance was already in vain, it also formed a system that restricted the aristocratic family.

Liangzhou was the only big state that was least affected during that purge. Of course, Liangzhou is still relatively complicated to a large extent, and the population is sparse. Although the clans have a strong influence, they will not shake the foundation of the country. Therefore, in Liangzhou, the clans still rule the local area.

In other major states, local officials must be appointed from other places, and their positions must not be held for more than five years. Local family members are not allowed to hold main positions, and even local military generals stationed in the camps are dispatched from other places. These measures are to prevent the family from becoming local emperors.

In Liangzhou, especially after passing the Yumen Mansion west of the Qinluo River, these rules seem to be false, because after passing the Yumen, the desert is the Gobi Desert to the northwest, and where people can live are oasis scattered everywhere and several large river valleys.

It is bitter and cold, with no oil and water, and the people are tough and the race is chaotic. It is a high incidence of chaos. It can be said that this is the exile place for civil servants and military generals. Unless it is an official who makes mistakes, he would rather wait for a shortage than work in Liangzhou.

Because of this, local clans still control local government affairs. For example, the mayor of Guanping Fan family seems to be inherited by their family for generations. However, compared with the past, these local clans did not cover the sky with their hands, because there are still local legions.

The legion and local clans control military and civil affairs respectively. From when, the two groups began to dislike each other. In short, the two sides became opposing forces, but opposition is opposition, and the two cannot be separated because local clans control money and food, while the legion controls troops. The two sides formed a balance point in restricting opposition and complementing each other, which has continued to this day.

Guanping Town is the east starting point of Yumen Mansion and is a very important ferry town. In Guanping City, 30 miles west, there is a brigade stationed in Guanping City. Unlike other major prefectures, a brigade of Liangzhou Legion is organized by the Fifth Battalion, with a slightly higher number of people in each battalion, but the total strength of a brigade does not exceed 3,000.

The commander of the camp lieutenant of Guanping Town, Gao Shun, actually directly squeezed away a general who had already taken office but was leaving the procedures. This general belonged to the Liangzhou Legion and had a bit of background. In the past, the appointment of generals in Liangzhou would be as long as the legion decided and then the procedures were completed. There were very few unexpected events like this.

It is conceivable how Gao Shun will be treated. Because of the anger of his ex, the Liangzhou Legion simply transferred the elite troops under his jurisdiction and ignored them. Fan Zhengyang, as a local clan force, naturally had no good feelings for the local garrison, although Gao Shun was airborne.

In the past few months, Gao Shun's life was not so easy, but this threshold did not stump Gao Shun. If the boss did not send money and food, then naturally someone would send it. Without the support of the place, there would be no such thing. Gao Shun led troops in the camp all day and did not interfere with the place.

In this way, three months have passed! But this time, the Fan family, who is a representative of the clan forces, came to the door for the first time, even though the barracks were less than 200 meters away from the town.

"General Gao, these are some food and supplies that have been surplused from the local warehouse in the town. Although there is not much, I will express my feelings. The short guy Zuo is too bullying and did not allocate some food and grass here for two consecutive months. Isn't this intentional suppression of new colleagues...!"

There was no expression on Gao Shun's face because there was a shield covering it: "Mayor Fan is interested. Come and move the things into the camp. Mayor Fan invites you to come in. The camp is simple and there is nothing to entertain!"

"Yes, it's a bit simple. I remember this camp was built thirty years ago, but I've already decided. After a month or two, it's warmer. No matter what, we have to squeeze out some money from the town to repair it. No matter how you say General Gao is also protecting our town, we have to support it...!"

Gao Shun also heard about the struggle between local clans and local legions and the complex relationship, but Gao Shun had no intention of this. However, he was a little surprised that Fan Zhengyang's sudden visit, and also sent military supplies and food, and promised to repair the barracks for them.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like to beat around the bush!"

Fan Zhengyang was choked by Gao Shun's words. There was no way. Fan Zhengyang was upset from the bottom of his heart about this group of soldiers. This has been accumulated over the years, but there will be no change because of different people. Moreover, he came here for some purpose, but when Gao Shun choked, he didn't know how to speak.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. At this moment, a crisp voice like a lark came: "General Gao, you practice troops every day in this barracks. Although you look very imposing, you can fight with real swords and guns. I don't know...!"

"Miss Fan, what are you going to say?"

"You guys, okay, I'll just say it's your responsibility to protect the country and the people as a local garrison. However, in recent days, there have been frequent sand thieves rampant on official roads and robbery of business trips. Are you not moved at all!"

Well, why is this girl talking nonsense? Although she has been plaguing the sandstorm recently, she is not in Guanping Town. It’s okay. No matter whether it’s the right thing to do, it will cause trouble if it’s in charge. However, Fan Zhengyang did not stop his own treasure because he saw something else from it.

"Shabi, I understand. If what you said is true, I will go and suppress it!" Gao Shun pondered for a moment. Because the relationship between Guanping City was not harmonious, and Bao Xiaodan's intelligence network did not cover this place, so Gao Shun was not very sensitive about the news here.

After saying that, he felt a little frustrated again. Fan Zhengyang joked: "Then I wish General Gao a victory in advance. We are not far apart. We will go to my place to sit at any time when you have time in the future. If you can help me, I will definitely not refuse!"

"Then thank you first!"

"Ah, I'm so angry!" After returning to the living room at home, Fan Qingting finally couldn't help it and screamed and grabbed a vase and was about to smash it.

"My baby, that one is a porcelain bottle from Longwunian, a daughter! And what's so angry about you? I didn't see what this person is good about for my father, so I made you quarrel about proposing marriage for my father! Do you know this now? Put this thought away as soon as possible. If you want to get married, find a better one for you!"

"Hmph, don't interrupt me. The so-called better ones you look for are disgusting. As for the proposal of marriage, wait first, I want to see if he has the ability. My husband of Fan Qingting must be a great hero. If he can't even deal with a few sand thieves, even if I misread it! If he tries to match those sand thieves, you have to go and propose marriage to me immediately!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but are you sure you said? Those thieves who are known to their fathers are Sha Laowu's people. He has more than 2,000 thieves under him, and even the old man in Jade can't do anything to him!"

"Ah!" Fan Qingting was stunned and said, "Why didn't you say earlier that Sha Laowu is not from the county next to you, why did we come here!"

"There is no fixed land for Shaji, of course, where is there a business? Besides, I heard that Sha Laowu gathered up a few more people, so it was not enough to eat..."

Fan Qingting was speechless, sat on the chair, blinking her big eyes, and didn't know what to do for a moment: "Father, why don't I just say what I just said?"

Fan Zhengyang gave his daughter a blank look and said, "What do you say to me? It depends on that General Gao. OK, you don't need to do this. Whether he will go to suppress the sand thieves is the same thing!"

The wind was blowing golden sand, and a carriage was parked outside the gate of the school grounds. When the big man with a horse jumped out of the carriage, he came to the carriage and said, "Master, we have arrived!"

Jia Xu put on a fur, opened the carriage and walked down, stepped on the flying sand and gravel road, looking at the town not far ahead, but his eyes swept half a circle, and finally landed at the barracks at the other end of the carriage.

Taking a step, I came to the gate of the schoolyard built with a few pieces of wood. Although the barracks were a little bit short, the two fully armed strong men guarding the gate made this simple place quite imposing.

"Stop, the military camp is important, and you are not allowed to enter without any entry!"

"I am a friend of your commander. This is my reply. Please send it to me. After seeing it, your commander will come out to see me!"

The fierce man was stunned for a moment, took the reply and said, "Then you are waiting here, I'll go and ask my master!"

Not long after Jia Xu stood at the camp gate, Gao Shun rushed towards the gate with great strides: "Military Wenhe, why are you here?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Go in and talk first, this is not a place to talk!"

After sitting down, Gao Shun personally brewed a pot of hot tea, brought it up, and said, "This is still something new to Yunshan Wujian. I don't understand it, but it's a waste. The military advisor will try it!"

"Well, it's really good tea!" Jia Xu took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "I didn't expect that you look simple here, but there are many good people. I haven't been so arrogant all the way!"

"Haha, the military advisor laughed. These were all sent by General Manager Bao. He kept letting me go, and no one could drink it. He would take it with the military advisor. By the way, the military advisor has been here. I remember that Military advisor Zhang was also here?"

"We separated in the imperial capital. He went to Qingzhou, and I came to Liangzhou!"

"Oh, the military advisor plans to stay here for a few days, and then continue traveling, or...!"

"I may bother you for a few days, find out some situations, and then make plans. By the way, how is your situation here!"

When he mentioned this, Gao Shun shook his head secretly and said, "It can be said that grandma doesn't kiss her and grandma doesn't love her. If there is no support from the Bao Manager, I'm afraid I will not even be able to eat."

"oh!"
