From late autumn to the whole winter, Lu Ning spent time in Bianjing, in fact, after resting for more than a month as the General Academy of Culture, after winter, Lu Ning went to court day by day.

For the Son of Heaven, who is suddenly diligent from time to time and suddenly absent from the capital for a long time, the cabinet ministers have long been accustomed to it.

Throughout the winter, the most important thing is the supervision of water conservancy projects in various places, and nowadays, water conservancy matters can not be relaxed every year, not only river defense, but also water diversion projects for farmland irrigation, floods and droughts, we must focus on prevention, otherwise once there is chaos, it may shake the national capital, after all, in the present era, it is still difficult to withstand major disasters.

In addition, there is a war in Liaodong, from Lu Xing to conquer Jinzhou, after three or four months, Liaodong became a place of fierce warfare, in Lu Xing led the Hebei and Hedong armies to conquer the Khitan Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, when the naval army landed on the Liaodong Peninsula, on the northern front, Yelu Gong Sage was also defeated by Yelu Xian, and fled to the East China Sea Nuzhidi.

Ye Luxian on the table, claiming to be the "King of Liaobei", he should still call himself the emperor internally, but the seal sent to the Central Plains, but he regarded himself as a courtier, and the Emperor of the Central Plains once named him "King of Liaobei", and he took this as his name.

Obviously, Yeluxian and the tribal leaders who supported him now felt that it was extremely disadvantageous to continue to resist the Central Plains Dynasty, so they temporarily declared themselves vassals to the Central Plains to gain a chance to breathe and develop.

It's just that when Yeluxian and Yelugang Sage were fighting fiercely, in the cold winter, a military medical team entered Zhongjing under the escort of two battalions of the Beining Army.

After the outbreak of the plague in the summer in the Zhongjing area, even because of the migration of the population who fled to Shangjing, many people were also infected in the Shangjing area, and as a result, Zhongjing was also regarded as a daunting way by the Khitans in the north, and it was also the same as Chengdewei, and adopted an extremely cruel blockade, and all refugees who were found fleeing from Zhongjing, Jianzhou and other places were shot from afar.

It's just that in the cold winter, the epidemic may slow down, and the Northern Liao Khitan naturally didn't know that it was the Central Plains military doctor, and the soldiers entered Zhongjing very easily.

In fact, the vast and sparsely populated area of Zhongjing did not turn the vast grassland into a hell on earth due to the outbreak of plague in the summer, but the great panic and the almost extinction of some small tribes still made all the survivors who survived panic.

The arrival of the Qi people did not encounter resistance at all, but on the contrary, they brought medicines, taught them how to prevent the epidemic, burned the corpses, etc., but made the surviving Khitan, Xi people, Bohai Sumo Ya people, Han people, etc., as if they had seen a savior in a desperate situation, and the Qi people naturally became their benefactors.

Therefore, when the general of the Beining Army read out the holy edict and set up the Beining Wei in the original pseudo-Zhongjing, which was the ranch of the Holy Son of Heaven Emperor's Village, within a radius of 300 miles, all the farmers and herdsmen were slaves of the royal manor ranch, but these survivors were ecstatic, because this meant that their lives were the property of the Emperor of the Central Plains, and the Emperor of the Central Plains would not let them die in vain, but would find ways to curb the epidemic.

In fact, when the military medical team and the Beining Army entered Zhongjing, it was a cold winter, the plague had gradually subsided, the people who should have died of the infection had died, and the survivors had survived.

After being convinced that the epidemic in the Zhongjing area had subsided, the Bac Ninh Army was also fully deployed and stationed in Beining Wei.

At the same time, it was the time when Lu Xing led the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army to conquer Liaoyang Mansion.

The edict of the Son of Heaven soon arrived in Liaoyang, set up Liaodong Province, changed Liaoyang Mansion to Liaoning Mansion, and became the seat of Liaodong Province.

At the same time, the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army recruited warriors of all ethnic groups and expanded them, and they were divided into the Hebei Army, the Hedong Army, and the Liaodong Army, with the Liaodong Army stationed in Liaoning, the Hebei Army returning to Youzhou, and the Hedong Army returning to the Daimyofu.

In fact, after this split, the Hedong Army only retained 20,000 soldiers, the Hebei Army 40,000 soldiers, and the Liaodong Army 50,000 soldiers.

The Liaodong Army was incorporated into the most elite soldiers, and at the same time, all of them were converted into military households, and their relatives migrated to Liaodong.

At the same time, after celebrating the New Year with the concubines in Bianjing, Lu Ning set off for Beiningwei.

Although the concubines were not at ease, Yongning, Guifei and Concubine De all persuaded each other, after all, it was a place of great epidemic, who knows if it has really subsided?

However, the Holy Son of Heaven Luan drove to Bac Ninh Wei in February.

The slave households of all ethnic groups in Beiningwei were extremely excited, and some rumors that there would be a major epidemic in the local area gradually disappeared.

The Son of Heaven spared no expense to personally venture to Bac Ninh, and even met with the slave households of various tribes, chatted with them, and listened to their needs, which was simply unheard of, and made them grateful, and they did not know how to be grateful.

At the same time, the people of the Central Plains gradually migrated to Beiningwei, including many Nanyang slaves.

Of course, a small amount of inland households and Nanyang slaves who migrated from the interior were cultivated, and most of them were still herdsmen, but they became small-scale nomadic herders.

In fact, whether it is agricultural reclamation or overgrazing, it will destroy the water and soil of the grassland, causing gradual desertification.

Turning grasslands into cultivated fields? It's never been a solution to nomadism, it's.

In Liaodong, the migrated peasant households, Nanyang slaves, etc., naturally came to reclaim the land.

At the same time, Beiningwei, Chengdewei, Jinzhou and Liaoning City are also building cities day and night.

Of course, human resources are very tight nowadays, and in the early spring, the main thing is to reclaim the land, build brick kilns, ordnance yards, etc., and the city defense can only be reinforced with rammed earth first, and then reinforced with masonry.

The Holy Son of Heaven Luan, who seemed to be still in Beiningwei, appeared in Liaoning Mansion when the General Academy of Literature appeared.

This time, the General Academy of Culture was awarded the sword of Shang Fang, moved to Huanzhou to train the envoy, led the Liaodong pacification envoy, pacified and governed the Black Mountain and Baishui tribes around Liaodong, and at the same time dealt with the "King of Liaobei" Ye Luxian, and divided the actual control areas of the two sides.

Those who have some understanding of the "General Academy of Culture" naturally know that the "General Academy of Culture" has some talents in governing barbarians and Hu.

Huanzhou, on the banks of the Yalu River, is the capital of the Goguryeo era, the capital of the Marudu City, but the original Marudu City has long been destroyed in the war, and now it is just a rebuilt earthen city on the old site.

Huanzhou was set up after the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, and the people who migrated were all the original Bohai people, most of them were Su Mo Jing people, a few Han people, and most of the original Khitan households had fled.

In Liaodong, Lu Xing's unified army and the Khitan fierce battle, almost and Zhongjing went to two extremes, slaughtering the city to exterminate the Khitan tribes, there are a lot, of course, Lu Xing is a few reports, probably later, this bloody means of conquest, only wild history can be recorded.

The so-called "ploughing and sweeping" is actually a kind of genocidal policy.

The Khitan households in Huanzhou naturally heard about these terrible things, and after hearing that Yelu Sage fled to the Jurchen Land of the East China Sea, they also fled.

But in fact, the Jurchens of the East China Sea are not yet under the rule of the Khitans, that is, the so-called Jurchens, and the Khitans who fled are just afraid that they are just sheep in the mouth of the tiger.

And Huanzhou, where Lu Ning served as the regimental training envoy, is close to the Yalu River, and on both sides of the Yalu River in the south, there are also the Yalu River Jurchen tribes that have not yielded to the Khitans.

In the northwest of Huanzhou, there is the Jurchen of the Hui tribe, which has accepted the rule of the Khitan and has been incorporated into the tribe by the Khitan, and is one of the mature Jurchens.

Lu Ning came to Huanzhou, in addition to seeing what the current state of mature Jurchen and Shengjurchen is, and how he should govern it, he is also preparing to advance the national border to the Datong River as soon as possible.

The Khitan was defeated, and Wang Zhaoke, the current lord of Goryeo, was a figure who would inevitably take the opportunity to advance north, but the Jurchens of the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain were not so easy to get along with, undisciplined, barbaric and warlike, but they were the "good helpers" who temporarily curbed the expansion ambitions of the Goryeo people.

Huanzhou is 800 li northwest from Huanglongfu, which Yeluxian occupied after defeating Yelugang Sage, and 600 li from Pyongyang, Goryeo, on the bank of the Datong River, in the southeast.

What Lu Ning is thinking about now is these two places in the north and south, Huanglong Mansion and Pyongyang City.

Of course, in addition, there is Luzhou in the upper reaches of the Yalu River in the northeast, which was also called Yalu during the Bohai Kingdom, and there was also a regime established by the uprising of the Bohai people, called Ding'an State.

In fact, the rebellion of the Bohai people in Luzhou was to resist the excesses of the Bohai State, and before it was extinguished, the Khitan destroyed the Bohai State, and the so-called Ding'an State of Luzhou, because on the other side of the Yalu River, the mountains were steep, and the nearby Yalu River and Changbai Mountain had not yet been conquered, so the Ding'an State was still alive.

Historically, Ding'an even sent envoys to attack the Khitan with the Song Dynasty.

It wasn't until more than ten years later that the Khitans really sent troops to conquer the Jurchens, and the Ding'an Kingdom also perished.

And now, this small Ding'an country, a big place, with a population of one or two hundred thousand at most, is equivalent to a slightly larger tribe, but it also has to make Lu Ning wonder how to recruit them.

The Khitan people tolerate the birth of Jurchen and tolerate the existence of this Ding'an country for decades, and they can know that it is really difficult to conquer these small tribes in the land of white mountains and black waters.

Now, these problems are in front of me.

……

It's just that what Lu Ning didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived in Tucheng, Huanzhou, there was a secret envoy in Bianjing, but it was said that Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo, and the Pu family of Pingzhou, almost all of the envoys sent by the front and rear feet, arrived in Lushun at this time, but they were stopped by the navy and ordered to standby.

Lushun is the original Suzhou of Liao, pacifying the Liaodong Peninsula, and Suzhou was immediately renamed Port Arthur.

The news brought by the messenger made Lu Ning even more speechless that Wang Zhao and the Pu family were all ready to offer the women of the clan.

Accompanying Wang Zhao's envoys were Wang Zhao's eldest daughter, Lady Qianqiudian, and the envoy of the Park family, the granddaughter of the head of the Park family, accompanied by his mother, Jin.

Obviously, the Central Plains Dynasty's repeated victories against the Khitan finally made Wang Zhao unable to sit still, so he sent his beloved daughter as a bargaining chip for his relatives.

In particular, the envoy who came to ask for the canonization of the Central Plains never saw the Emperor of the Central Plains, and finally returned in a huff, which may have made Wang Zhao even more uncertain.

And the Park family, needless to say, came to ask for help from the Central Plains Dynasty, at least, they also hoped to get the protection of the Central Plains Emperor.

Wang Zhao this person, the character is extremely forbearing, just ascended the throne, the power of the wealthy families around the country is very large, his father had to marry many wealthy families when he was alive, although this can get the support of the wealthy family, but when he died, it also triggered the struggle of the wealthy families to support the succession of the prince of their blood, the palace was bloody, Wang Zhao's brother succeeded to the throne, and the death was unknown.

Wang Zhao, who ascended the throne in this kind of turmoil and political conspiracy, implemented inaction after ascending the throne, on the surface he didn't care about anything, and only promulgated the fourth-class meritorious service law, but secretly, he used the law to cultivate his cronies, and eight years after ascending the throne, when his throne gradually stabilized, he began to introduce measures to weaken the local wealthy clans such as the imperial examination system, and even used many literati from the Central Plains as important ministers.

By three years ago, Wang Zhao finally began to kill, purging the royal family, heroes, and wealthy families, including his half-brother, many royal families of the same generation, were poisoned by him, and the bloody killing of courtiers and heroes was even more cruel.

Moreover, he was very ambitious, and judging from the information of Kaesong, he was the same as some later historians guessed, but in fact, he proclaimed himself emperor internally.

His eldest daughter, Lady Qianqiudian, is a title for the princess within her regime.

And the Pingzhou Pu family, when he was still the king of Qi, he got acquainted with his family's figures, which is considered an old acquaintance, and now he hopes to get his own support for rebellion, or hope to be sheltered, but he and Wang Zhao are invariably the same, and at the same time send envoys, they offer the relatives and beauties of the clan to please themselves.

Could it be that the notoriety of many clan women in the Liao Kingdom who were tarnished by themselves has spread to Goryeo?

Lu Ning coughed, but he was afraid that in the future, it would be absolutely indispensable to have a history related to his own fragrant and wild fields.

……

There are more than 3,000 households in Huanzhou, and more than 26,000 people, that is, there are many large families and few families in Huanzhou, and they have inherited the Bohai tradition.

Moreover, it was the original Bohai Han household, and now they have already entered the countryside and followed the customs, and their style and personality are different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains.

Lu Ning led Yu Linwei to take office, local households, according to the usual practice, the regimental training state, all households turned into military households, more than 5,000 adult men, all recruited to be able to fight, ordinary preparation for war and the regimental training of the murder and robbery, maintained at 500, but this kind of regimental training, of which 400 soldiers take turns to serve, and another 100 regimental training, the strongest male in the state, completely out of production, equipped with leather armor and war horses, this is the inherent mode of many regimental training states, but according to the number of people and ethnic groups, the number of standing regimental training and off-duty regimental training is different.

In fact, the Khitan's control over Huanzhou was originally weak, that is, the Khitans fled, and the gap period before the Qi people came, the households in Huanzhou, the city and various villages were spontaneously organized by the respected leaders to arm themselves to prevent the Jurchens from looting.

Lu Ning entered the Tucheng of Huanzhou, and it was also the first time that he summoned the more virtuous and respected old men among the Han households inside and outside the city and the Su Mo Yan households.

However, it is obvious that the Bohai State is proud of learning the civilization of the Central Plains, and now in the city of Huanzhou, it is the end of the Su Dynasty, and most of them are Han names, and the proportion of the virtuous and respected old people is the Han people.

Maybe in today's era, there are more pursuit of the people who only know how to show off their force too barbaric, once they come into contact with the Central Plains people, they will feel that they have encountered the truth, talk about cannons, fool people, stand on the moral high ground, etc., and the surrounding barbarians are not as good as the Central Plains.

Of course, it is mainly because this civilization itself is strong and attracts the surrounding races, and the voice of the Central Plains civilization in later generations is gradually not as loud as the Western civilization, which is the same.

Gao Biaoshi, the deputy envoy of the regimental training selected by Lu Ning, was the warrior in the Su Mo Sect, and the judge Li Jiusi was a descendant of the Han people.

The supervision envoy is appointed by the Provincial Administration or the capital, and the Huanzhou supervision envoy is Han Derang.

And the day after Lu Ning arrived, very close to Huanzhou, a Jurchen tribe on the other side of the Yalu River came to ask for a mutual market.

Jurchen fishing and hunting, but daily necessities, not to mention daily necessities, are salt, grain and other survival materials, and they also need to be traded with the regime that ruled Liaodong, or the Central Plains Dynasty, or the Bohai State, or the Khitan.

Of course, there are also some Jurchen tribes who rely on raids.

The Jurchen tribe that came to ask for the mutual market was relatively mild, but honest people were usually bullied, no matter how the Central Plains Dynasty, the Bohai State or the Khitan people traded, with a large amount of dried meat, medicinal herbs, etc., they could only exchange a little bit of salt, this time it was the leader of the department, called Ni Zhuhuo, Lu Ning personally met with him, and drew up a relatively fair price, of course, in Lu Ning's opinion, it was really a big advantage, but he was very grateful.

……

The four team owners of Yu Linwei, except for Cao Guangshi, have all changed their faces now.

Brother Wanyan Nu is the most eye-catching, and he was promoted to the commander of one of the five armies of the Liaodong Battalion, the commander of ten thousand soldiers, and became a shining star rising in this dynasty.

After all, from the first day of Yu Linwei's establishment, he followed the Son of Heaven and made great achievements, but there has been no suitable vacancy arrangement.

Yelu obliquely stayed in the northwest, and the Baotou Guard Regiment practiced envoys.

Nihan was incorporated into the Hebei Army and served as the battalion commander.

And now the leader of the four teams of Yulin Guard, in terms of seniority, Cao Guangshi ranks first, and the other three are Fu Qian, Kong Shouzheng, and Tuoba Sanniang.

Fu Qian and Kong Shouzheng can be said to be handsome for a while, and they are extremely outstanding young generals.

Even Lu Ning felt that these two characters, depending on their outstanding strength when they were young, must be recorded in the history books, but they were just lonely and unheard.

Tuoba Sanniang, this Lu Ning is a little helpless, originally, it was to make Ningxia Dao and Ningxia Daying recommend the most outstanding party generals.

Although the fine seal iron gall is a suitable candidate, Lu Ning has already made him join the Iron Harrier Army and is one of the backbone generals, not to mention, the fine seal iron gall has been subdued by himself from the heart, and he wants to select a party leader and tame him.

After all, the party and the people are strong, and there must be many warriors like fine sealing iron courage, and it is not bad to choose some good character training for the generals to use for themselves.

But I didn't want to, the Ningxia battalion recruited Jing Hanru, and the last recommended was Tuoba Sanniang, the leader of the village women who guarded Yancheng.

But what kind of person is Jing Hanru, a famous general who has become a serious general, and recommends a female general, so naturally he has his reasons.

This Tuoba Sanniang, in the cavalry and archery competition of the party warriors, defeated several marksmen in a row, and the essence of riding and archery, Jing Hanru was rated as "rare in the world", and its amazement was beyond words.

When he was in Yancheng, Lu Ning saw this Tuoba Sanniang, and at that time he just felt that the party had five hundred women guarding Yancheng, and sure enough, the Xixia people drove female soldiers, and the name was well deserved, but he didn't know that this Tuoba Sanniang turned out to be a great character.

And in the history of his country that Lu Ning knows, in addition to the ancient figures, the uprising figures are not counted, and the female general who commanded the regular army is recorded in the official history is Qin Liangyu at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, if this Tuoba Sanniang is not only the art of arching horses, but also has the ability to lead the troops, will he really want to be released to lead the troops in the future? Making history?

However, Tuoba Sanniang was selected as Yulinwei, but there was an unexpected benefit for Lu Ning.

Concubine Xian sent a letter from Saihua, very interested in Tuoba Sanniang, saying that she wanted to come and see, and she should arrive in a few days.

Concubine Xian has been sitting in Chengdewei, but now, everything has been decided, and Zhongjing has become the northern border, when she went to Zhongjing, she intended to let her accompany her, but she shirked, and now, a Tuoba Sanniang, but aroused her interest.

This made Lu Ning even regret a little, he shouldn't have let Queen Xiao and Yi Lazy also come to Huanzhou, so did they, they should have arrived in a few days.
