The Xinghua Empire formulated a ruling system for Yunzhou, which had just been completely occupied, but it still continued to focus on the people's submission as the main purpose, supplemented by tough measures, which was very crucial. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the Xinghua Empire occupied Yunzhou, and when Yunzhou still belonged to the Xia Kingdom, it seemed to be yesterday. At present, the confrontation between the two countries, in this context, the people of Yunzhou, unlike the slaves who have no hope of recovering the country and are in a miserable situation, do not know whether today's situation is tomorrow's situation, and they do not know which country they should belong to.

This people's heart is scattered, and naturally the six gods have no master, and it is inevitable that they will sometimes hesitate, not knowing whether they should submit to the new master.

Although so far, after many efforts, it can be regarded as a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Xinghua Empire for the people of Yunzhou, and they are no longer a strange invader who does not know where to fight, but after all, the Xinghua Empire still appeared in front of them as an invader.

If the Xinghua Empire can't appease the people as soon as possible after capturing Yunzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be chaos one day, and the Xia Kingdom, which has always been eyeing and eager to recover the lost territory, is on the sidelines, which is obviously extremely unfavorable to the Xinghua Empire.

Therefore, how to win the hearts of the people will become the primary and most important problem after the Xinghua Empire conquers Yunzhou, and to solve this problem, the policy implemented in Yunzhou is the key.

The Xinghua Empire's policy of occupying areas was not complicated, mainly starting from the three basic aspects of politics, economy, and culture, corresponding to the three basic policies, and initially set up four major departments: civil affairs, courts, police and military departments.

The three policies are:

The first policy is to make it clear that Yunzhou is included in the territory of the Xinghua Empire, and all parts of Yunzhou will not change the original place names to preserve the original living environment and customs of the people's livelihood. Only if there is a hard and fast rule on national status - Mandatory implementation of the national identity card system, ordinary people in Yunzhou must be within the specified time, to the specified departments to complete the registration of personal information, and submit application materials for ID cards, only those who have the national ID card of the Xinghua Empire, can obtain national treatment, the Xinghua Empire will recognize the legitimacy of its private property, otherwise, once the registration procedures have not been completed beyond the time limit, the private property of this part of the people will be characterized as ownerless property whose property rights are not recognized, and the Xinghua Empire will have the right to re-occupy or distribute, such as the title deed of the house, etc。

This policy is led by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with the assistance of the Police and the Ministry of the Army.

The second policy was to forcibly expropriate the fields of the nobles and large landowners of the Xia Kingdom in Yunzhou and redistribute the benefits. Citizens who were willing to submit to the Xinghua Empire would receive benefits from the Empire, which were levied from the nobles of the Xia Kingdom. In Yunzhou, the aristocracy and the big landlords are a minority after all, and the turmoil will not be too great. In the process of redistribution of interests, the interests of the soldiers of the Xinghua Army will also be taken into account. For example, the soldiers of the Xinghua Association People's Army, who fought bloodily for the Xinghua Empire, deserve the opportunity to share the land of Yunzhou. This policy was also carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Police, and the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Empire. Considering that the aristocrats and large landowners in Yunzhou will inevitably have desperate and stubborn opponents, this policy also comes with a code of action, as long as they encounter nobles or landlords who are unwilling to bow their heads and submit, they can be directly arrested or killed, and all their land will be forcibly confiscated.

The third policy is the conscription system and the conscription system. These two systems will be carried out simultaneously, and young or active soldiers who are willing to submit to the Xinghua Empire will be recruited in Yunzhou to form the Yunzhou Legion. At the same time, the civic system is implemented to cultivate local citizens in Yunzhou. According to the citizen system of the Xinghua Empire, anyone in the Xinghua Empire is born a citizen, and if you want to become a citizen, you must contribute, and joining the army is one of the ways. Only citizens are eligible for official positions. The fate of the Yunzhou people who are willing to submit is tied to the fate of the Xinghua Empire.

As long as these three policies are carried out in depth, the people's livelihood in Yunzhou will be stabilized to the fastest extent, and after the situation in Yunzhou is completely stabilized, at that time, the Xinghua Empire will implement the policy of great unification.

Yi Xingchen, Sheehan and other cabinet ministers discussed and approved the specific regulations one by one, and then compiled and revised them into a book in order as soon as possible.

Then, according to Yi Xingchen's order, Xian immediately made a series of personnel appointments to establish the heads of various official positions in Yunzhou: Qin Zhengguo was appointed as the city guard of Shucheng in Yunzhou, and the prime minister of Yunzhou Military Affairs was retained as the commander of the Imperial Eastern Expeditionary Corps, Zhao Chang was appointed as the head of the Yunzhou Police Department, responsible for the formation of the police force, and Che Enren was appointed as the staff officer of the Yunzhou Legion, and he was responsible for establishing the Yunzhou Legion on the basis of the Xiemin Army. The Yunzhou Legion was subordinate to the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps and was controlled by the Eastern Expeditionary Corps of the Xinghua Army.

The first thing to establish was the official position of the army, and as for the positions of the minister of civil affairs in Shucheng and the president of the court, Yi Xingchen planned to directly transfer officials from the Xinghua Empire to Yunzhou to take up his post, so that the Xinghua Empire could better manage the affairs of Yunzhou. It took a lot of thought for these people to formulate these corresponding policies, and it took almost an all-night time for Yi Xingchen and Sheen and others to complete the overall plan.

At 4:30 in the morning, when everyone was tired after a night of work, Liu Yiyi took a group of palace maids to bring Yi Xingchen and a group of officials some warm soup and snacks to reward these loyal ministers of the Xinghua Empire who had worked hard all night.

But for Yi Xingchen, Liu Yiyi had one more complaint with coquettishness, and obviously didn't want to affect Yi Xingchen's prestige in front of all the ministers, she also specially lowered her voice: "How urgent are you, do you have to be busy all night like this? What should I do if I want to burn my body out?"

When Yi Xingchen heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also looked at Liu Yiyi and smiled knowingly. As for the imperial ministers, they had already "fallen" on the snacks sent by Liu Yiyi, so they naturally didn't care about the affectionate payments of the two.

After the meal, Xian En and the others got up satisfied, thanked Yi Xingchen and Liu Yiyi, and left the meeting hall of Xinghua Palace, where they had fought all night.

In Shucheng, Yunzhou, Qin Zhengguo had just woken up. I thought it would be a relaxing and comfortable morning, but when he saw the telegram on his desk, it instantly collapsed.

This was a telegram from the Empire, sent personally by the Emperor and the Cabinet. What's more, when Qin Zhengguo read the telegram, he was not only shocked by the dense text on the telegram, but also the content of the telegram surprised him.

Because the content of the telegram was detailed and meticulous! From this, Qin Zhengguo knew how much the emperor and his cabinet attached great importance to Yunzhou. It is not difficult to see that the content of the telegram must have been the result of the overnight work of His Majesty the Emperor and a group of cabinet ministers, and it was full of rules and regulations for the management of Yunzhou, and it was thoughtful, which was beyond the reach of Qin Zhengguo. As he read carefully, he gradually dispelled some of the thoughts he had last night.

Last night, Qin Zhengguo had just returned to Shucheng, and before the stool was hot, several commanders of the Xiemin Army came to the door one after another, inviting Qin Zhengguo to a banquet and drinking and having fun, in order to celebrate the successful occupation of the entire territory of Yunzhou by the Xinghua Army. It's not a strange thing, it's just that these commanders, not others, they are all Yunzhou people who chose to follow the Xinghua Army in the early days, among them, Wang Chuanshi is the leader.

Wang Chuanshi and others, at this banquet, on the occasion of persuading wine, constantly persuaded Qin Zhengguo to give preferential treatment to scholars in the management of Yunzhou, and they agreed that the Xinghua Empire needed the help of Yunzhou scholars in managing Yunzhou. Although the words were not explicit, the meaning was already very clear - Wang Chuanshi and others hoped that Qin Zhengguo would not be suitable to disturb the landlords or gentry in Yunzhou in the process of rectifying Yunzhou in the future, but should even more encircle the forces of these people. If these people are willing to surrender to the Xinghua Empire, then accept them and make them the management class of Yunzhou accordingly. As long as the status and power of these landlords and squires were used, the Xinghua Empire could control Yunzhou more firmly.

Before receiving this telegram, Qin Zhengguo attached great importance to the opinions of these co-ordinators. Because, although the Xinghua Army, as the main force, was stationed in Yunzhou to defend against the Xia Army, the Xiemin Army was an important force responsible for the security of various regions, so on the issue of how to manage and rectify Yunzhou, their ideas and suggestions could not be ignored by Qin Zhengguo.

It wasn't until Qin Zhengguo read this telegram and clarified His Majesty Yi Xingchen's will that he realized that his thoughts were wrong.

Now, the Xinghua army has occupied Yunzhou, which is an ironclad fact, Yunzhou already belongs to the Xinghua Empire, and it can only be the Yunzhou of the Xinghua Empire, and it is no longer the Yunzhou of the Xia Kingdom. More importantly, it is impossible for the empire to have its own decisions and arrangements for the management, and it is impossible to use the scholars of Yunzhou.

The most important thing is that if the Xinghua Empire wants to win the hearts of the people of Yunzhou, it must interfere in the interests of the nobles and landlords in Yunzhou. If we do not destroy the existing government system of the old state established by the Xia State, and do not destroy some of the inherent spheres of influence of these landlords and gentry, it will not be possible to fundamentally smash the power of the Xia State. Therefore, Qin Zhengguo not only should not protect the interests of the gentry in Yunzhou, but the first task is to weaken the gentry in Yunzhou as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the various systems of the Xinghua Empire can be implemented on the land of Yunzhou again.

Qin Zhengguo thought about it for a while, and sent a telegram to the telegraph office of the Xinghua Army, asking them to send it to Zhao Chang as soon as possible, asking Zhao Chang and a group of staff officers, as well as the business talents of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, to rush to Shucheng as soon as possible.

After determining his latest priorities, Qin Zhengguo accelerated his actions and ordered the Xinghua Association People's Army to do two things: one was to maintain the basic order in the city and allow residents to enter and leave Shucheng, and the other was to pay attention to protecting all yamen in Shucheng, especially the place where the yamen stored materials.

Recalling the proposal of Wang Chuanshi and others, they mainly hoped to persuade Qin Zhengguo not to take drastic actions to deal with the nobles and landlords in Yunzhou. Regardless of whether they misunderstood or not, whether they had guessed their loyalty to the Xinghua Empire or not, at least at this moment when Yunzhou needed to be rectified, it was a critical moment after all, and it was better to be cautious. As a result, Qin Zhengguo sent more than a dozen officers of the Xinghua Army to take over the transfer of the Xiemin Army to prevent the Xiemin Army from turmoil.

Of course, Qin Zhengguo did not think that the Xiemin Army would start a rebellion.

This army, from the very beginning, was not built by relying on the nobles and landlords of Yunzhou, so it was not necessarily entirely intended to seek benefits for the nobles and gentry of Yunzhou. Their composition, more like a mercenary group, was built by the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce with a generous military salary, which can be considered that the Xiemin Army would not betray the Xinghua Empire for the sake of the Yunzhou nobles.

The reason why Wang Chuanshi and others had a greater influence in the Xinghua Association of the People's Army was that they were a group of people who participated in the Association Army earlier and had a certain amount of cultural knowledge, so many of them successfully ascended to the throne and grasped part of the military power. However, although these people have a successful career, it does not mean that they can ascend to the sky in one step, as long as it is established that some of them have bad intentions, the Xinghua Army has the right to remove them at any time and replace them with a new batch of officers.

However, the Xinghua army had just occupied Shucheng and was not suitable for a large-scale change of generals, so Qin Zhengguo decided to send some officers to divide the power of Wang Chuanshi first.

Facts have proved that Qin Zhengguo's approach is correct.

Under the deterrence of the Xinghua Army, more than a dozen officers of the Xinghua Army successfully took over the command of the Shucheng Central Association People's Army.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chang, Che Enren and others rushed to Shucheng, and as soon as Qin Zhengguo saw them, he handed over the imperial telegram to the two of them without delay. Therefore, after only a short rest, the two of them also acted quickly to complete their tasks: Che Enren immediately sent talents from the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce to the prefect's yamen, took over the management of household registration information, began to sort out household registration, and prepared for the implementation of the ID card system; while Zhao Chang selected 1,000 loyal soldiers in the armies of the Xinghua Army and the Xiemin Army in a ratio of one to three to form the Yunzhou Police Department.

In the next three days, Qin Zhengguo stabilized the situation in Yunzhou while strengthening the defense of Jianguan.

Jianguan was repeatedly attacked by Zhang Zhenguo's 200,000-strong army! But despite this, Zhang Zhenguo was unable to move a single bit. Not only that, because of the bombs of the Xinghua Army, the Xia Army was under the Sword Pass, but it was difficult to move an inch. The Xia army even used a lot of siege equipment, such as rushing cars, but they were blown up before they could get close to the pass; the well was also changed from an indispensable equipment for siege to a target for snipers of the Xinghua army; and catapults became the "pets" of mortars.

After several sieges, the Xia army could not advance half a step, but it had suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded. In this case, even if Zhang Zhenguo was determined to attack the city, he could not ignore the casualties of the soldiers, and finally had to temporarily withdraw his troops, return to Huguan, and reprepare for battle.
