967 Three Heroes of Early Han (1/2)
Chapter 967 – Three Heroes of Early Han
11th month, 3rd day, Zhang Liang, West Gate Big Official, and the others gathered in Shanhai City, opening up the reshuffling of civil servant appointments.
Along with them were also Li Mu, Bai Lishi, Ma Teng, and the other newly appointed generals. Before the army completed its reorganization, the Legion General could not come into contact with their troops in advance. They needed to study in the Army Military Academy for a short period of time. Only after the Privy Court completed their work could they be appointed.
Using the chance, Ma Teng and the other generals could learn about thermal weapons warfare. Li Mu and the other surrendered generals learned about the Great Xia Army system while taking lessons about loyalty to the king.
The moment Zhang Liang arrived in Shanhai City, a System Notification sounded out.
”System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for gathering the three heroes of early Han, Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang. Player awarded an Emperor Rank summoning talisman, and 100 thousand reputation points!”
...
The moment the notification went out, everyone else could only feel envious toward him. Ouyang Shuo himself did not expect such a surprise.
As for the Emperor Rank talisman he was given, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to use it.
Zhang Liang, Li Mu, and the others arrived in Shanhai City one by one. As the ruler, Ouyang Shuo naturally welcomed them one by one to ascertain the ruler-minister relationship and to put them at ease.
Toward stubborn people like Wei Yan, Ouyang Shuo even had to calm him down to raise his loyalty stat.
In the morning of the next day, the Great Xia Dynasty announced a series of personnel appointments.
Zhang Liang was appointed as the head secretary of the Administrative Mentor Court. His position was even higher than that of Jia Xu.
Name: Zhang Liang (Saint Rank)
Title: Strategy Saint
Dynasty: End of Qin, Start of Han
Identity: Great Xia Administrative Mentor Court Head Secretary
Occupation: Special Strategist
Loyalty: 80
Command: 80
Force: 50
Intelligence: 100
Politics: 80
Specialty: Strategizing (raises military index of the dynasty by 5%, raises chances of strategies succeeding by 55%, raises ability to grasp chances in battle by 50%, raises success rate of dynasty strategists breaking bottleneck by 25%)
Evaluation: Zhang Liang contributed greatly to the establishment of the Han dynasty. After his death, he was honored with the posthumous title 'Marquis Wencheng' by Emperor Gaozu.
Zhang Liang was not a commander that was talented at leading troops nor did he fight any famous wars. He was not an administrative genius who had any such achievements either.
However, he was the dream of any emperor or king. That was because he was a smart strategist who had a really accurate grasp on anyone, and he was able to see through the layers of mist over things that were of utmost concern. As such, he could directly locate the crux of the problem and come up with a correct choice.
The Administrative Mentor Court that he would be leading was the brains beside Ouyang Shuo. And it would play an important role in deciding policies and the direction of the dynasty.
...
The original Mengding Prefecture Governor Tian Wenjing was promoted to Shu Lands Provincial Governor.
Tian Wenjing had been the Administration Director, Qiongzhou Prefecture Governor, and Mengding Prefecture Governor. Similar to Chuannan Province Provincial Governor Fan Zhongyan, he was one of the oldest servants of the territory.
Not only was he good at internal affairs, but he was even a rare expert at handling racial matters. He was also at the helm of the Qiongzhou voyage trading, and his horizons had been expanded. As a result, he was the best choice for the Shu Lands.
West Gate Big Official was appointed as the Xiangnan Provincial Governor and given the rank of 3rd class Marquis.
During his entry into the city, West Gate Big Official knew his place. He did not wait for Ouyang Shuo to ask and asked to move the West Gate Family to Shanhai City.
His performance as the Provincial Governor would affect the fate of his family and Ouyang Shuo's treatment of the other talents in his family.
Out of the three prefectures, only Chuanbei Province did not have a Provincial Governor. That was because Ouyang Shuo could not find a suitable person to take up the role.
Luckily, it was about to reach the 5th year of Gaia. The Recruitment Hall, General Appointment Stage, Wanming Pagoda, and Golden Stage could all complete a round of recruitment.
Ouyang Shuo did not believe that he would be unable to recruit a suitable Provincial Governor.
Apart from the two Provincial Governors, the remaining 15 Governors were all appointed at once.
For example, Qiang Race leader Fu Jian would become the Qiang Prefecture Governor, Caiyun Zinan would become the Chuanbei Province Xingyi Prefecture Governor, and Gu Hengxiao would become the Xiangnan Province Yongzhou Prefecture Governor.
Fu Jian was over 40 years old, and he did not come from the military. As such, him commanding troops was just a matter of expediency. As the person with the most fame in the Qiang Race, he was the best choice to be the Prefecture Governor of Qiang Prefecture.
In Qiang Prefecture, Great Xia would similarly allow the race to self-rule.
The Qiang Race army would be moved into the Eagle Legion Corps 1st legion. To calm down the Qiang Race, Ouyang Shuo would move Fu Jian's son, Fu Ze, into the 1st division.
As they say, a tiger would not beget a dog son.
Fu Ze was just 20, and he was the most famous young general among the Qiang Race. Ouyang Shuo was looking forward to him being like Shihu and Shanzhu. He hoped Fu Ze would become the core of the army's spine.
