    ??

    The horse is newly riding on the white jade saddle. After the battle, the moon is cold on the battlefield.

    The sound of iron drums at the top of the city is still vibrating, and the blood of the golden sword in the box is still wet.

    In this battle of Hebei, Huang Mingyuan actually tried his best to let the generals take command instead of doing everything personally.  Future wars will inevitably open up multiple fronts and fight in multiple directions. It is not feasible to seize all the power of the general in one's own hands.

    Like Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, he was one of the rare emperors who conquered the desert five times, but his generals were all small roles who suddenly became prominent due to the Jing Dynasty. He almost never commanded a battle independently, and his abilities were hard to describe, which made Zhu Di old.  No one can be found, which directly affects the quality of the entire Ming Dynasty.

    Huang Mingyuan's subordinates, Zhang Wenyuan, Li Jing, and Hu Lusheng, are all generals who have commanded large corps in combat. Regardless of their loyalty or ability, they are all worthy of Huang Mingyuan's training and reassurance.

    After Huang Mingyuan arrived in Pingyuan County, Hu Lusheng also brought Wang Bian and others to join him. Wang Bian and Yang Shanhui were Huang Mingyuan's old subordinates, and Yang Yuanhong also knew them in the past. They were all talented people with both civil and military skills.

    In fact, the chaos in Hebei was mostly caused by the inaction and random actions of the imperial court. There were many talented people in Hebei during the Sui Dynasty, but they were not put to good use.

    There is always a fear that there are not enough talents, so Huang Mingyuan threw an olive branch to the three of them.

    Although the three of them have different identities, since they are in Hebei, they should naturally accept Huang Mingyuan's command.  Everyone knows that it is easy to make meritorious deeds by following Huang Mingyuan, and no one refuses.

    So Huang Mingyuan ordered that the three troops be temporarily combined into the He Control Army, with Wang Bian as the commander, Yang Shanhui and Huang Mingyuan's Bingcao Shenjun Pei Xingfang as the deputy commander, directly under Xingtai.

    This is the fifth unit under the jurisdiction of Xingtai. Throwing away the remaining county soldiers, the newly formed He Controlling Army has 15,000 people.

    Although Wang Bian's official position is not very high, he has experienced many battles and fought in Hebei for several years, and he can be regarded as a good general of his generation.

    As for Yang Shanhui, Yang Zhaowei captain was born and has withstood the test of history.

    Yang Yuanhong still served as the prefect of Pingyuan County, but Huang Mingyuan transferred the general's Cang Cao to the military affairs department and Jia Dunyi as the county magistrate of Pingyuan County.  Yang Yuanhong's governor would not last too long. Huang Mingyuan would not let these old officials be in charge of the place for a long time. He had to promote the new tax system as much as possible.  At this time, Yang Yuanhong was not moving, so as not to start a major war for the time being and alarm the officials in Hebei.

    The prefect of Qinghe County is appointed by Huang Mingyuan's trusted lieutenant, Dai Zhou, who works in the General's Mansion.

    Qinghe County governs 14 counties, with a population of 300,000 households at its peak, making it the largest county in Hebei. At the same time, Jingzhao only had 22 counties with 300,000 households. As for the eastern capital, Henan County only had 18 counties.  Two hundred thousand households.  Although Qinghe County has suffered serious population losses after so many years of war, after all, there is a large amount of cultivated land, and the foundation is still there.

    The two counties of Pingyuan and Qinghe were severely damaged, but the power of the local clans was also weakened to a certain extent.  As long as Youzhou follows the normal economic development model, production will soon be restored and its former prosperity will be restored.

    Huang Mingyuan will stay in Hebei to deal with post-war affairs, but the war going south cannot stop.

    In fact, Huang Mingyuan did not originally plan to fight to the edge of the Yellow River, but he really did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly.  After all, the wealthy families in Hebei were timid. Although they continued to create difficulties for Huang Mingyuan, they did not dare to fight Huang Mingyuan to the death.

    No one dares to bet.

    When things came to a head, although the result was unexpected, we had no choice but to continue to expand the results.

    Huang Mingyuan appointed Hu Lusheng to concurrently serve as the governor of Wuyang County, unified command of the Longxiang, Konghe, Zhaoyi armies and the soldiers of various counties, and continued southward to Wuyang and other places.

    Wuyang, Weijun and Jijun in the south are located at the intersection of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Yu, and are thoroughfares in all directions.  Unlike the poverty-stricken places in later generations, at this time this was the most prosperous and prosperous place in the Central Plains.  Controlling these counties, you can cross the Yellow River to the south and compete in Henan; you can cross Hedong to the east and enter the Guanzhong; and you can form a barrier to Hebei in the north.

    Therefore, Huang Mingyuan must take control of it as soon as possible.

    After settling the two counties, Huang Mingyuan was ready to go to Xindu County. Some of the problems he had with the major families had to be resolved, and at least they had to seek common ground while reserving differences.

    No matter what era, the stability of a country cannot be separated from the support of aristocratic families, this is something Huang Mingyuan has to admit.  The strongest is easy to break, and the sun cannot survive. What the government should do is to optimize the allocation of resources and promote social equity as much as possible, rather than set off class confrontation and cause social unrest.  Many times, national policies are formulated through mutual testing and concession.

    When Huang Mingyuan arrived in Xindu County, Li Jing had been here for nearly a year and had basically stabilized the politics here.  Youzhou is too remote, and Qinghe, Pingyuan and other places have not yet recovered their vitality, so Huang Mingyuan is planning to move Xingtai to Xindu County.

    Xindu was also known as Anping and Changle, located in the hinterland of the Hebei Great Plains and bordered by seven counties, can better manage the entire Hebei region.

    After Huang Mingyuan arrived in Xindu, Li Jing and his subordinate Wenwu greeted him.

    After the siege of Yanmen, although Huang Mingyuan had a good relationship with Li Jing, he still removed his military power and placed him in Xindu.

    Military power cannot be granted lightly, and Hu Lusheng still needs to be resettled.

    But Li Jing had no dissatisfaction.  The battle in Peiping, where he was almost killed, made him think more broadly.  Although he cannot lead the army, he is doing well in Xindu County, and he also serves as the right servant of Hebei Daoxingtai Shangshu. He is regarded as the third most powerful person in Hebei. What else can he be dissatisfied with?

    After the formal banquet was over, only Huang Mingyuan and Li Jing were left.

    Li Jing looked very happy today, so he was a little tipsy.

    "Gong Wei, this time in Xindu is the happiest time for me. I miss you, Li Jing. I joined the army when I was a teenager. After many life and death experiences, I was loyal to the emperor and the Sui Dynasty. Even if it means death, I am willing to do so. But  Emperor, don¡¯t trust me, don¡¯t trust me!¡±

    ¡°Maybe he told the truth while drunk, or maybe he did it on purpose.  At this time, Li Jing was very angry and chattering non-stop.

    "I took my heart out, but he still doesn't trust me!"

    As he spoke, Li Jing actually cried.  Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but comfort him, but it was of no use.

    "Does Duke Wei know what I was thinking when I was in Peking? I, Li Jing, am loyal. Since I have fallen to this point, I might as well die to avoid being an eyesore.

    It was Duke Wei who saved Li Jing's life. It was Duke Wei who risked his own life to save Li Jing's life when everyone in the world looked down upon him. This sentiment Li Jing will never forget.  "

    "Daoxing, you are drunk!"

    "Mr. Wei, please let me speak!"

    At this time, Li Jingman looked very excited and said to Huang Mingyuan: "I have never failed the emperor. But when the emperor went south to Jiangdu, thousands of miles away, he failed Li Jing first. Now that I am under the command of Duke Wei, I can do my best to do it.  I will try my best to repay the kindness of Duke Wei for saving my life and knowing me."

    "Daoxing, you're drunk!"

    "I'm not drunk!"

    ¡°Perhaps Li Jing was really drunk, Huang Mingyuan asked someone to support him, and he fell asleep quickly.

    Huang Mingyuan understood that this was an informal surrender and Li Jing's test of him. But the problem was that even Li Jing was disappointed with Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang. Who else would be next?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
