    Everyone walked along the east bank of the Liao River and looked at the densely populated towns and houses along the way.  This sage land in the Liaohe Plain also gathered the largest number of Han immigrants.

    When passing through Anshan, the towering iron-making furnace stood upright with thick smoke billowing from it.  People in this era don't know anything about protecting the environment. Instead, they look at the ironworks and marvel at it, as if it is the most beautiful thing in the world.  The coal and iron here supported the rise of Liaodong.

    On May 22nd, Huang Mingyuan and his party arrived at Xiangping City after traveling all the way.

    When Huang Mingyuan came back here again, he had mixed feelings.  This great Han city, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, finally returned to the Han domain and was reborn again.  Last winter, Huang Mingzhen ordered people to strengthen the city wall of Xiangping, making the city more majestic, solid and indestructible.

    When Huang Mingyuan arrived in Xiangping, officials from all over Liaodong had already arrived in Xiangping in advance to stand by.

    Countless people¡¯s faces were full of red. They were all old subordinates who had followed Huang Ming in the Far East and conquered the West. With Huang Mingyuan, they had a backbone.

    Huang Mingyuan called out their names one by one. Everyone whose name was called was inexplicably excited and proud.

    Because time was tight, Huang Mingyuan could not summon everyone alone. After summoning all the important officials, he devoted himself to the planning and preparation of the Eastern Expedition.

    There are more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong, mainly government soldiers.  These people basically appeared as field troops before. With the current stability of Liaodong region's rule, Huang Mingyuan is ready to reorganize these troops and make them completely localized in Liaodong.

    Most of these people are government soldiers from Hebei and Hedong. Their sources are not as complicated as the troops brought by Huang Mingyuan, and their combat effectiveness is also good.  But he was not a professional soldier after all, and staying in Liaodong was no longer suitable for cleaning up. If Huang Mingzhen hadn't handled it properly, all these people would have fled long ago.

    More than 100,000 soldiers have not returned home for more than a year, and many of them are eager to return home.  This kind of homesickness, if not done right, can cause great turmoil.  The historical Jiangdu Mutiny actually broke out when the Xiaoguo Army who was born in Guanzhong wanted to go home but Yang Guang refused.

    In order to calm the minds of these soldiers, after Deng Yi arrived in Liaodong, he distributed fields to these people according to Fengzhou's practice, and also promised to move their families to Liaodong.  As for those soldiers who had no families, they also found ways to marry them and start a family.

    Those who have permanent property have perseverance. "Daughter-in-law and land" have always been Huang Mingyuan's only magic weapon to calm people's hearts.

    If there is not enough land, they can grab it from the Goguryeo nobles; if there are not enough women, it is okay to get some barbarian women as wives first.  In short, the government has worked hard to provide everyone with a home.

    Of course the effect is also very obvious.

    Although many people still want to return to their hometowns, after all, many people have families in their hometowns.  However, Huang Mingzhen also ordered people to do their best to publicize the famine in Hebei, Hedong and other places, and to publicize Yang Guang's tyranny, making everyone more afraid of the situation in the Central Plains.  Those whose families cannot be found have either been kidnapped by the refugees or have starved to death. They will definitely not be able to come back.

    For everyone, one side is their new home, their newly married wife, and their newly allocated fields; the other side is their ruined hometown and their dead relatives.  No matter how homesick everyone was, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they had no choice but to stay in Liaodong.

    As for those who really didn¡¯t want to stay, Huang Mingzhen organized them together to do some of the lowest-level jobs.  In order to prevent these people from mutiny, they will definitely not be allowed to serve as soldiers, and naturally they will not be given preferential treatment.

    This is also reality. In troubled times, individuals no longer deserve any rights.

    So, even the most stubborn people have chosen to give in.

    After nearly a year of material and ideological propaganda, these people have basically calmed down.  Many people's newly married wives, or those who were pregnant, gave birth to babies.  With three rooms at home and a few days of land, for them, their biggest dream in life has basically come true. They have taken root in Liaodong.

    As for the tens of thousands of troops brought by Huang Mingyuan, there is no need to publicize them, they also know what Hebei is like.  For most people, Hebei is almost a ghost. Huang Mingyuan promised them that as long as they achieved military exploits, they would also get land, wives, and have a family. Therefore, this group of people was already excited before the war started.  .

    "The military spirit is available, that's it."

    Huang Mingyuan selected 80,000 from the original more than 100,000 soldiers in Liaodong to build the Fourth Army.

    With the 20,000 government soldiers located in the original Liaodong City, plus the Pingzhou Army, a total of 30,000 people were established to build the Liaodong Left Army, with Huang Mingzhen as the general manager, supported by Hu Benlang General Liu Heitai and Hu Yalang General Wang Fubao.

    to be located at the originalGaimou City's 20,000 soldiers established the Liaodong Right Army, with Shi Xiang, the deputy general manager of Liaozhou, as the general manager, and assisted by Hu Benlang General Huang Mingpu and Hu Yalang General Meng Chenqi.

    The two armies went north and stationed in Fushun County, under the unified command of Huang Mingzhen.  Shi Xiang of the Right Army was considered a nail for the emperor to break into Liaodong, but he had been injured in the battle of Gaimucheng and was in poor health. The actual power of the army would be in the hands of Huang Mingpu.

    With 20,000 soldiers located in Baiyan City and Shicheng, the Andong Zuo Army was built, with Da Xihao, the governor of Liaodong County, as the general manager, and Hu Benlang General Gao Nie and Hu Yalang General Quan Xu to assist him.

    With 20,000 soldiers located in Muti City and Yingkou and other places, the Eastern Right Army was built, with Sima Xuzhe, the general manager of Liaozhou, as the acting general manager, and Li Jin, the general of Hu Benlang, and Gao Yuanzhen, the general of Fengzhou Huyalang.

    All the power of Da Xihao as the governor fell into the hands of Deng Yi. He was no longer willing to be the governor in name only, so he asked Huang Mingyuan to return to the army.

    However, Xu Zhe's qualifications and age were very different. If he was made the general manager, there would be many dissatisfaction in the army, so he had to be ordered to take charge.  Moreover, Huang Mingyuan did not have a suitable candidate, so he had to temporarily use Xu Zhe to lead the army. In fact, he did not want this junior brother to become a general again.

    The other nearly 20,000 government soldiers, except for the garrison troops distributed in various counties, the rest are mostly injured or old and weak. These people happen to be the main force in farms, military camps and other places.

    In addition to these four armies, there are also the Guiyi Left Army commanded by Gao Jianzhuang, the Guiyi Right Army commanded by the brothers Balian and Bagang, and the Guiyi Front Army commanded by Sun Daiyin, totaling more than 20,000 people.  After the test of the past two years, these people have also experienced countless wars, large and small, and gained Huang Mingyuan's trust.  Huang Mingyuan allowed everyone to be naturalized in the Sui Dynasty and obtain the same rights as the Sui people. If they even obtained a Han wife, the next generation would become Han Chinese. This actually set off a trend of marrying Han wives among the surrendered troops.

    These three armies have transformed from surrendering troops into a powerful force in the North.

    Huang Mingyuan then prepared to march eastward with the Youzhou Army, the Left and Right Armies, the Andong Left and Right Armies, and the Guiyi Army, totaling 110,000 people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
