Fielding embarked on his journey to Peking to take office with a complicated mood. The transfer from Northwest General to Governor Yanyun seemed like an ordinary transfer, but Fielding knew that it was not that simple. His Highness the King of Qin can safely allow himself to be appointed as the Governor of Yanyun, which shows that His Highness has indeed included him among his confidants. Yanyun is no better than the northwest. In the northwest, His Highness King Qin's prestige is unparalleled. No matter who wants to do anything, it is almost impossible. Everything can only be done according to His Highness King Qin's intention. But the situation in Yanyun is very different. Yanyun was once the family of His Highness King Yan, where almost all the gentry and nobles supported or were inclined to the King of Yan and the Situ family, and he was born in the line of King Yan, although he was very He had long since escaped from the King of Yan clan and joined the King of Qin, but he was still inevitably branded as a member of the King of Yan clan.
I am quite familiar with the nobles and gentry in Yanyun County. Although my contact with them has become less and less over the years, there are still many nobles and gentry with whom I have good relations. Even in front of the supervisory department, Fielding does not like them. Avoid this question. As the bloody storm caused by Cheng Dayou in Yanyun County gradually subsided, this guy unexpectedly launched an aggressive offensive in the territory of the Duodun people, and even added an E to himself, the new governor of Yanyun, out of thin air. The jurisdiction of the Hotsk Special Administrative Region. Of course Fielding knew that all of Cheng Dayou's actions were inseparable from the instruction of His Highness the King of Qin behind him, whether it was Yanyun's counter-revolutionary movement or the Okhotsk strategy, and this time His Highness the King of Qin allowed himself to be transferred to the Governor of Yanyun It also has a different meaning.
The nobles and gentry of Yanyun have been living in fear for a long time under the crazy butcher knife waved by Cheng Dayou. From the letters to themselves, you can know their current gloomy and depressed mood. The collapse of Situ Tai's rule has caused them to lose their backers and replace them with new ones. ruler. And this ruler conquered Yan Yun by defeating the King of Yan they supported through war. Now it seems that it is time to liquidate everything in the past.
But now that His Highness the King of Qin has appointed him as the Governor of Yanyun, Fielding certainly understands that His Highness the King of Qin's appointment of him to this position will not mean a complete change of course. Cheng Dayou's actions are all purposeful, and there will be a price to pay for being on the wrong team. Everyone knows this, but going too far is not enough. His Highness the King of Qin does not seem to have the intention to completely eliminate the influence of the Situ family in Yanyun. That will only cause greater social turmoil. From Cheng Dayou, he did not touch those who originally had a more neutral attitude. The gentle nobles and gentry can see this strategy of His Highness King Qin.
Clearly colluding with foreign enemies, suppressing conservative aristocrats, wooing neutral and friendly forces, and supporting the development of the industrial and commercial classes. This is what Fielding concluded after a long talk with him about the political strategy he needs to adopt after taking office. . Fielding admitted that he was not good at economics, but among the senior staff who followed him when he took office, two of them were talented people who were good at managing and planning economic development that he had specially brought from the governorship of the northwest. The sustained economic development of Northwest County in the past two years cannot be separated from the assistance of these two people. Fielding once wanted to recommend his two staff to the Government Affairs Office to try it in the new round of city defense competition, but later he reconsidered. Then I felt it wasn’t quite right for the time being. Let these two people familiarize themselves with Yanyun County and gain more experience. Maybe they will be more confident.
In his conversation with himself, His Highness the King of Qin, in addition to emphasizing stabilizing the situation and developing the economy, also gave himself an important task, which is to build Yanyun County into an important strategic base in the northeast of the empire, and to make Okhotsk It will become the bridgehead for the future empire to conquer the Kingdom of Dodon and the Japanese Empire. Just this intention of His Highness King Qin was enough to give Fielding a headache, and several staff members had already started working before taking office. On the one hand, they were collecting information about Yanyun County, and on the other hand, they were considering how to turn Okhotsk, which had not been in the hands of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, into a strategically important land and sea area.
The situation in Okhotsk is quite special, not only because of its complex geographical terrain. The hills, mountains and dams are mixed together, and the ethnic composition is also quite complex. The entire Okhotsk region has a population of less than 100,000, of which the Liberians account for about half, the Tang people account for about 30%, and the remaining 20% are along the coast. various ethnic minorities. The ups and downs of the historical origins have also resulted in the people in this place having different customs and lagging economic development. Although they have taken control of this place through force, they still need to manage this area well. That's not an easy thing either.
Several staff members are already planning how to manage the Okhotsk region after taking over. In addition to the fact that Hailan Fortress still needs to be controlled by the military, due to the change in the main direction of defense, a small one also needs to be built in the Sknov Mountains in northern Okhotsk. The fortress and the Port of Okhotsk are also included in the plan to be built on the scale of a city. As an important port that directly threatens the Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands, a small fishing port of this size is obviously unable to meet strategic needs.
These questions have been lingering in Fielding's mind. The attitude of the Yanyun nobles and gentry is undoubtedly to welcome him, but he may not be able to make them all smile. His Highness's attitude towards him is also very clear, ensuring stability, but must not let it go. Ziliu must still attack those stubborn conservative forces mercilessly. His Highness has made it very clear. Fielding only hopes that these gentry and nobles who have had friendship with him can understand the current affairs and stop fighting with the new If the dynasty goes against it, it will undoubtedly force him to pick up the butcher knife that Cheng Dayou has put down again. Fielding believes that the vast majority of people should be wise, but even a very small number of people Fielding does not want to see.
There are many people who took office with the same complicated emotions as Fielding, such as the new Governor of Burma County, Wu Zhi. Originally seeking to be the governor of Sanjiang, he unexpectedly became the governor of Burma. This made Wu Zhi feel like he had knocked down a five-flavor bottle. It was sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Wu Zhi is quite familiar with the situation in Burma County. At first, the Lin family had contact with the upper class people in Burma, hoping to use the rebel forces in Burma to divert the attention of the Tiannanlang family. However, times have changed now, whether it is Burma or Sanjiang. Tiannan has all been subordinated to the rule of Qin King Li Wufeng. The Lin Lang family's struggle for hegemony in the southern part of the empire has finally led to Li Wufeng's domination of the world. This cannot help but make Wu Zhi sigh with emotion after experiencing this ups and downs. However, Wu Zhi is a very realistic person, even more realistic than his colleague Park Jin. Sanjiang under the rule of the Lin family has become history. It is no longer possible for the entire empire to have unified military and political local forces. Li Wufeng was very wise. From the beginning, he strictly separated military and political affairs. When they moved to Zhongnan County, it also marked the end of a special group, the Sanjiang Group, and Wu Zhi knew that he should seek a better opportunity.
For him, the city guard of the Qin capital, Li Wufeng only met Li Wufeng once when he visited Sanjiang. The other party may even have a very vague impression of him. The entire Western Xinjiang, which is now the new empire, has as many as sixteen counties. There are nearly 100 prefectures and counties. It is impossible for the city guard of one prefecture to leave a deep impression on his mind, unless there is some special friendship. It is human nature that no one would appoint someone whom they are not familiar with to hold an important position. But it is too difficult to win the favor of the Qin capital city guard. There is a governor, and above the governor there is the Government Affairs Office. It is not easy for a city guard to win the attention of the Government Affairs Office. It is not easy to win the attention of His Highness the King of Qin. Eyes, that chance is too small. Wu Zhi is not content with this, and now the only one who seems to be able to speak for himself is Miss Yue Xin. Wu Zhi didn't think that self-recommendation was something shameful, but he didn't even have the chance to recommend himself. The only way was Miss Yue Xin's recommendation. Wu Zhi actually did not have high hopes, because the precedent of Bai Yuanzhong was once widely circulated among the high-level officials in Western Xinjiang. At least he learned a little bit about the inside story. It seems unwise to repeat the same mistakes now, but Wu Zhi knew that if this method was not adopted, I don't even have a chance, so I might as well give it a try.
There was someone else in the position of Governor of Sanjiang, but he gave himself the opportunity to be the Governor of Burma. Wu Zhi was quite satisfied, but he didn't quite understand what the King of Qin was thinking deep down, but since he was given such an opportunity , then of course I can't waste it. Only by making the development of Myanmar County refreshing can truly prove that I didn't rely on anyone to get this position.
His Highness King Qin's conversation seemed more like a routine matter in Wu Zhi's eyes, but in the last few minutes, Wu Zhi changed his opinion, "I hope you will not disappoint those who support and follow you, and I hope you can prove yourself with facts." With these words, Wu Zhi suddenly realized that none of this could be hidden from the calm His Highness the King of Qin.
What else could Wu Zhi say? After the conversation, he didn't even stay any longer, and even gave up the idea of meeting Miss Yue Xin. He went straight south through Tiannan. Myanmar County would be a new starting point, a stage to prove himself. Every move he made not only We must prove ourselves, and we must also prove that the whole of Sanjiang is not unpopular. Beauty ambitions—Part 2, Chapter 7, Dingding, Section 90, Selection and Appointment
, Sanjiang people can also perform outstandingly in any environment, let facts and time test it all, Wu Zhi thought.
