The Beiting Protectorate has three armies under its jurisdiction: Hanhai, Tianshan and Yiwu.
Among them, the Hanhai army is stationed in Tingzhou, while the Tianshan army and Yiwu army are stationed in Xizhou and Yizhou respectively.
However, Xizhou and Yizhou are administratively It is not under the jurisdiction of Beiting Protectorate, but directly under Hexi Road.
Before the early years of Tianbao, in terms of administrative level, Beiting Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate were at the same level as Xizhou and Yizhou, and they were all under the jurisdiction of Hexi Road.
However, since Zhao Ziliang swept Mobei, the strength of the tribes in Mobei has increased.
After being greatly reduced and no longer posing a threat to the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty, the status of Hexi Road began to decline.
It can no longer govern the Beiting Protectorate.
Now the administrative level of Beiting Protectorate is higher than that of Anxi Protectorate, which is the same as Hexi Road.
Therefore, for the convenience of administrative jurisdiction, the imperial court divided Xizhou and Yizhou was placed under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate, and the governor of Xizhou and the governor of Yizhou were under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Xingying Jiedushi.
However, these two states had always belonged to Hexi Road, and suddenly they were placed under the jurisdiction of Beiting Xingying Jiedushi.
The governors of the two states were not very obedient for a while.
Wang Zhengjian was also very troubled by this matter.
What is even more troublesome is that although the Tianshan Army and the Yiwu Army are under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Xingying Jiedushi in terms of organization, their finances are controlled by Xizhou and Yizhou respectively.
Xizhou and Yizhou are responsible for all the food, clothing, military pay and other expenses required by the Tianshan Army and Yiwu Army.
The financial power is controlled by these two local governments.
Naturally, these two armies will inevitably be subject to Xizhou.
With the dispatch of the two governors of Yizhou, Wang Zheng saw that it was difficult for the Beiting Jiedushi to mobilize the Tianshan Army and the Yiwu Army, let alone the military envoy Zhao Ziliang.
For this matter, Zhao Ziliang went to Wang Zhengjian to discuss taking back the military power of the Tianshan Army and the Yiwu Army.
"Commander, the reorganization of Han Haijun has been completed a long time ago, and the training is still going on, and we must persist.
It will be easy for other military and towns to handle.
If there is any uncooperation, the chief officer and general will be replaced directly.
Only the Tianshan Army and Yiwu The army is difficult to handle.
These two military towns are not within the administrative jurisdiction of Beiting, and their financial rights belong to Xizhou and Yizhou respectively.
Even if the commander wants to mobilize them, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Wang Zhengjian was so worried about this matter that his hair turned gray.
Although the Tianshan Army and the Yiwu Army each only had about 3,000 people, they were the only three large military towns in Beiting.
If they were against Wouldn't it make people laugh when these two military towns lose their control, dispatch and command?
"Oh, who says it's not the case?
I was just trying to discuss this matter with you, but I didn't expect you to come first.
Do you have any ideas to solve this matter?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Commander, there are only two ways to solve this matter, and these two methods must be carried out at the same time.
First, replace the main generals and officials of the Tianshan Army and Yiwu Army; second, let us Beiting This is the only way to allocate military expenses for the Tianshan Army and Yiwu.
First of all, are we too disadvantaged?
We spend our own military expenses but have to be responsible for the defense of Xizhou and Yizhou.
Xizhou and Yizhou are not administratively under the jurisdiction of our Beiting.
Why should we garrison them for them?
If the commander-in-chief doesn't want to suffer such a good deed, he can ask the court Submit a letter, either requesting the imperial court to transfer the administrative jurisdiction of Xizhou and Yizhou to the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate, or we can transfer the Tianshan Army and Yiwu Army back, change their names and station them elsewhere.
As for the administrative jurisdiction of Xizhou and Yizhou For security and defense, they can recruit their own troops, or It is better to write to the imperial court that Beiting voluntarily gives up the jurisdiction of Tianshan Army and Yiwu Army than to live up to its name.
As it is now, we cannot mobilize these two armies.
If something happens to these two armies, we will be asked Beiting takes responsibility, we are not fools."
After hearing these suggestions from Zhao Ziliang, Wang Zhengjian felt that it would be best to submit a letter to the imperial court requesting that Xizhou and Yizhou be administratively divided into Beiting jurisdiction.
After all, this would not only not result in loss of money, but also make a lot of money, but he didn't know what the imperial court would do.
Wouldn't agree.
Another suggestion is to remove the Tianshan Army and return it to Tingzhou, change its name, and then send it to station elsewhere.
This one does not suffer a loss, but it also does not make a profit.

As for the third article, voluntarily giving up the command and control of these two armies, isn't this sending troops to others in vain?
If you don't do it, it will be a big loss, and we are not fools.
Wang Zhengjian said, "Your first and second suggestions are feasible.
Let's do it this way.
I will submit a letter to the imperial court.
The imperial court will either agree to transfer the administrative jurisdiction of Xizhou and Yizhou to Beiting."
Next, either Beiting will transfer the Tianshan Army and Yiwu Army back to Tingzhou and let Yizhou Go and cry to Xizhou, we won’t care about them anymore.
It will take a while to wait for the court’s reply, but the reorganization and training cannot be stopped.
You can proceed in other Shouchuo, cities, towns, Wubao and Yifeng first, and wait for the court’s reply.
Okay, we will deal with it based on the court's reply."
Zhao Ziliang said: "We have already started working on it.
At the end of the day before yesterday, the general had sent people to various places to check the number of troops, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
At the same time, he also sent a team to the inland to recruit new soldiers.
In about ten days, the number of troops will be checked.
And the officials and generals who are checking the old, weak, sick and disabled will come back."
On December 18, officials and generals sent to various places for inventory returned one after another.
They brought back rosters for inventory.
Zhao Ziliang ordered people to spend two days reorganizing the roster of soldiers and separate the rosters for the old, weak, sick and disabled who were to be removed.
Sort it out and send it to military towns in various places.
The old, weak, sick and disabled who still have family members at home and want to go home can return to their hometowns after receiving the severance pay.
If there is no one at home and those who are unwilling to return to their hometowns, they can go back to their hometowns in the capital.
Under the arrangement of the Hufu, Beiting was left to work and farm.
In this short period of time, some officials from military towns came to Zhao Ziliang to surrender, confessing that during his tenure, he had committed crimes such as short-term pay, embezzlement of military pay and military funds, etc.
Zhao Ziliang listened carefully to the reports of these people and compiled them into a book and recorded them.
Ask them not to do it again in the future and to take it as a warning.
If they do it again, , being caught is punishable by death.
As for the issue of whether these people will stay or go, Zhao Ziliang once discussed with Wang Zhengjian that officials and generals with minor crimes can be considered to stay in their original posts, but those with more serious crimes will be transferred from their original posts.
In terms of position, they should no longer be allowed to stand alone or serve as chief officers and generals.
As for those who are guilty but have not surrendered, problems will definitely be discovered during the investigation.
Once problems are discovered, the Protectorate will immediately send people to investigate.
If evidence is found, the parties will be arrested immediately and their official positions will be removed first. , and then pursue his crimes.
On December 20th, Gong Ren, the general person in charge of the investigation, came to the Military Envoy's Mansion to ask for an audience with Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang had just returned from Han Haijun Barracks.
He was a little tired after a whole day of training, but when he learned that Gong Ren was here to report, he immediately met him.
Got him.
"General, there are many problems in this investigation, and they are not small.
Others can just settle them, but there is one person who I am afraid will be difficult to deal with."
Gong Ren said and handed a file bag to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang took the file bag and asked: "Who is it?"
"General Cheng Qianli, Deputy Envoy of Jiedu" Zhao Ziliang frowned, and while opening the file bag, he asked, "What's the matter with him?"
“The huge amount of empty pay and deduction of military pay” Zhao Ziliang immediately pulled out several case files and read them together.
After a long time, he sighed, shook his head and said: "This Cheng Qianli, it's not like he has no money, so why bother with all these tricks?"
Gong Ren asked: "General, if I want to touch him on how to deal with this matter, I'm afraid neither the general nor the junior general has this right."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Stop this in advance, I have to think about it carefully."
"promise" In fact, Zhao Ziliang was unwilling to touch Cheng Qianli from the bottom of his heart.

In any case, he and Cheng Qianli were both generals brought by Fumeng Lingcha and came from the same line.
Logically speaking, they should support and help each other, but Cheng Qianli However, this person is a little petty, jealous of talents, and does not want to see others who are more talented than him and have a better life than him.
When he was in Anxi, he often spoke ill of Zhao Ziliang in front of Fumeng Lingcha.
After Zhao Ziliang was transferred to the capital, Gao Xianzhi appeared in Fumeng Lingcha's sight again and was greatly promoted.
He began to speak ill of Fumeng Lingcha again.
He spoke ill of Gao Xianzhi in front of the police, but such a person had nothing serious to do.
The crime was not punishable by death, but he couldn't bear to let Zhao Ziliang kill him.
This matter was really difficult to handle.
After thinking for several days, Zhao Ziliang decided to force Cheng Qianli away and no longer pursue the matter.
If he really wanted to pursue the matter, Cheng Qianli would be guilty of a serious crime.
However, in this way, his husband Meng Lingcha, who was far away in the capital, would be surprised.
It didn't look good, so after much deliberation, Zhao Ziliang decided to have a showdown with Cheng Qianli.
"Come here, prepare your horses" Late at night, Zhao Ziliang and several guards came to the door of Cheng Qianli's residence and said to the two soldiers standing guard at the door: "Go and report to General Cheng that I, Zhao Ziliang, am visiting."
"Yes, please wait a moment, General" Soon, the door opened, and a servant came out and saluted: "My general invites General Zhao to serve tea in the front hall.
He will come to change his clothes later."
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Lead the way."
After only drinking half a cup of tea in the front hall, Cheng Qianli walked into the front hall muttering: "Old Zhao, what do you mean you came here in the middle of the night and prevented people from sleeping?
Is there something that we can't talk about tomorrow?"
Zhao Ziliang looked at Cheng Qianli and said, "Let the servants go down.
I have something to say to you alone."
Cheng Qianli hesitated for a moment, then waved to his servants and drove them away.
"Tell me what's going on" Zhao Ziliang didn't say anything.
He took out the investigation results from his arms and threw them on the table in front of Cheng Qianli.
"This is the result of Gong Ren's investigation.
It's not that I, Zhao, want to target you deliberately.
Marshal Wang and I have long said that if there is Problems can be surrendered to us, As long as the explanation is clear, we can forget about it.
It was fine if we didn't know before, but now that this evidence is in front of me, I can't turn a blind eye to it.
You think you are doing it very secretly, but you don't know that there is no airtight wall in the world."
After reading the investigation results, Cheng Qianli's face turned pale, and his energy seemed to be drained all at once.
After a long time, he asked: "What do you want?"
"What do I think?
If I really want to deal with you, do I need to come to you with this thing?
Just show it to Marshal Wang.
After Marshal Wang saw it, what do you think will happen to you?"
Zhao Ziliang stared at Cheng Qianli and continued: "After all, we were all promoted by General Fumeng.
Although you and I don't have a good relationship, we are from the same family.
How did you slander me before, how did you mess with me, I For the sake of General Fumeng, I won’t care about you, but you don’t You should do this kind of thing, don’t you have money?
Even if you don’t have money, it’s easy to make money with your official position and power.
Why drink the soldiers’ blood?
What’s the difference between us and those ordinary soldiers?
We all have our heads in our pants.
They live a life of licking blood with the blade of a knife on their belt, aren't you afraid of choking to death when you drink their blood?"
Zhao Ziliang took the investigation file in Cheng Qianli's hand, put it on the light, lit it, and said, "Although I am the only one who knows about this matter, and I have ordered the investigating officials to keep it secret, I cannot guarantee that the people responsible for the investigation below will not It was leaked accidentally.
Once the matter was leaked, The consequences are even more serious.
You can't stay in Beiting any longer.

I heard that General Fumeng has been appointed as General Youxiaowei.
Please write a transfer letter to Marshal Wang and I will send one to General Fumeng.
Letter, let him do some activities in the capital and arrange a position for you in the capital."
Cheng Qianli finally realized his mistake.
He handed over his hand and said with difficulty and dryness: "Thank you for letting me go.
I, Old Cheng, will remember your kindness.
If you need help in the future, just let me know
