Cai still withdrew all the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, but it does not mean that Cai is still in Yanyun and there is no one left.

Cai still left four nets in Yanyun - the former intelligence guard, the middle intelligence guard, the rear intelligence guard, and the internal intelligence guard, each leaving an intelligence network in the Yanyun area.

In fact, with the development of the past few years, as Cai still spares no effort in the intelligence system, as Cai still does not control the mutual penetration between them, the former intelligence guard, the middle intelligence guard, the rear intelligence guard, and also the internal intelligence guard, the boundaries have become blurred, these four intelligence systems are all developing to monitor the entire Great Song region, the entire Xixia region, the entire Jin region, the entire Liaodong region, and spreading to all corners of the world, moreover, they also, you have me, I have you, competing with each other, complementing each other, and monitoring each other.

Among the intelligence networks woven by these four intelligence agencies, the area controlled by Liaodong is naturally the most dense, including the Yanyun region that Liaodong once controlled.

Therefore, Cai is still well aware of what is happening in the Yanyun area.

After learning that the Great Song Dynasty adopted a weak foreign policy towards the Jin State, Cai still couldn't help but shake his head, and he said in his heart: "How can you avoid the shame of Jingkang if you are so weak?" ”

Cai still felt that the day when he returned to Yanyun and returned to the Central Plains should not be too far away.

Cai still sent someone to inform Wu Jue to bring back the 100,000 soldiers as soon as possible, Liaodong needed them.

It was the Great Song Dynasty who did not urge Wu Jue to leave Jizhou quickly.

This is not what the Great Song Dynasty thinks of Wu Jue and their 100,000 Jinwu army.

Rather, the Great Song Dynasty was unwilling to hate Cai Ying, and they also believed that Cai still would not always occupy Jizhou and not leave - Cai still had given the entire Yundi and most of the Yan Land, including Yanjing, to the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible to occupy Jizhou and not give it to the Great Song Dynasty, which was the unanimous opinion of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, as expected by Li Gang and others, because Cai still gave Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty to avoid the Han people from killing each other, Cai is still in prestige among the Han people has reached an unprecedented height, and now almost all Han people are praising Cai Ying's high style and bright festival, and many literati even praise Cai still with poetry and songs.

It has to be said here that the reason why Cai still made Yanyun spread so quickly was not only because of the propaganda of the Liaodong Propaganda Department, but also because of the deliberate propaganda of the literati of Zhao and Song Dynasty - the literati of Zhao and Song Dynasty praised Cai still as a Han man who understood righteousness, trying to restrain Cai still with righteousness and morality, so that Cai still would not come to invade their territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

I have to say that although the practices of these literati are naïve, they also reflect their love for the Great Song Dynasty.

This also made Cai still see that now is indeed not the time to cut the Song, and he may have taken the right step.

Then again, whether it's the right thing or the wrong one, he's done with this step.

And there was no turning back from the bow.

Therefore, Cai still simply walked a little more chic, and then kept a close eye on the dynamics of all parties while managing his own forces.

In mid-July, Wu Jue returned to Liaodong with an army of 100,000.

Cai still transferred Wu Jue and their 100,000 troops to the north to fortify the defense.

As a result, the situation in Liaodong can be said to be solid.

Under these circumstances, Cai still finally held his own enthronement ceremony and officially established the Liaodong Kingdom.

At the same time, Tsai is still officially appointing officials.

Here are a few examples:

Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi: Li Gang.

Governor: Zhao Ding.

Shang Shuling: Song Jiang.

Shangshu's left servant shoots the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi: Chen Kangbo.

The right servant of Shangshu shoots the same book as the middle book door under the flat chapter: the left bow.

Scholar of Guanbunden: Wu Yong.

Scholar of Bohol Temple: Chen Hoop Bucket.

Privy Envoy: Chen Yu.

Privy Council Affairs: Lin Shiyi.

Governor of Political Affairs: Fang Qiong - He was still kind to Cai Qiong earlier, and it was he who proposed to strengthen Cai Zhuang's strength to strengthen the Beijing army and counter the Western army. At the time of handing over Yanyun, Cai was still afraid that he would be settled by Zhao Jiqiu, so he deliberately asked him to come.

Privy Council Matters: Jerod Stone.

Three envoys (counting): Zhao Kai.

Doctor Yushi: Chen Gongfu.

Zuo Siji: Liu Yanzong.

Right Counsel: Zheng Zhichang.

Officials and Scholars: Li Guang.

Servant of the Ministry of Officials: Guo Yong.

Hubu Shangshu: Zhang Wei.

Tobe Squire: Taka shoes.

Ministry of Rites: Xiao Ang.

Waiter of the Ministry of Rites: Zheng Keyong.

The secretary of the military department: Liu Ziyu.

Squire of the Military Department: Li Shi.

Criminal Department Books: Bao Kang.

Squire of the Criminal Department: Jin Fushi.

Ministry of Works: Yan Shun.

Ministry of Works: Xiao Rong.

Propaganda Department Shangshu: Li Wei.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Education: Zhu Boliang - When handing over Yanyun, Cai still asked his father-in-law Zhu Boliang's family to come over.

Ministry of Agriculture: Lu Jiang.

Ministry of Communications: Hu Shijiang.

Ministry of Commerce: Wang Shoucheng.

Honglu Temple: Zhao Liangsi.

Shaoqing of Jianghong Temple: Hu Yanqing.

The above is the foundation of the Liaodong Royal Court.

Of course, this is only some of the central officials, and there are some central officials who will not be listed one by one, and local officials are not among them.

From the setting of Cai Ying, it is not difficult to see that Cai is still mainly based on the control of the Song Dynasty.

However, among them, Cai still made a lot of changes.

First of all, Cai still took out the Zhongshu Province that had existed in name only in the Song Dynasty, and, not only that, Cai still broke the old situation that the high position of the Zhongshu order was often lacking, and gave the Zhongshu order to Song Jiang.

Cai still did this, of course, not without a purpose, but to highlight the importance of the Political Department, and he even raised the Political Department to the level almost equivalent to the level of Menxia Province, that is, the height of the prime minister - in fact, Cai is still implementing everything under the party's leadership in disguise, highlighting the status of the program he promotes.

In addition, Cai still added five new ministries on the basis of the original six ministries (namely: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Commerce).

These five ministries are not only to divide the power of the deacons and prevent them from having too much power, but also the focus of Cai's next administration.

In other words, Cai is still ready to develop propaganda, education, agriculture, transportation, and commerce.

In addition to this, Cai was still preparing to push off the northern region of Goryeo and complete the unification of Liaodong.

But—

Because he had just occupied the southern region of Goryeo, he needed to solve the problem of people's livelihood first - Cai still had to ensure that the people under his rule would not be unable to survive because of the war, and that his Liaodong government would not have a coup d'état because of the war, so he could start a war.

Therefore, Cai is still ready to wait, and when the autumn harvest is over, everyone has food in their hands and does not panic, and then goes to pacify the northern region of Goryeo......

……

After the Song army gave the rich households of Yandi (charged) to the Jin people, the fields and houses of the rich households of Yandi were soon occupied by the Chang Sheng army.

Some people accused Wang Anzhong, saying that he ignored it and sat idly by.

Wang Anzhong ignored it.

In fact, Wang Anzhong is also very embarrassed by this, although he is the highest administrator of Yanjing, but he really can't control this matter, because handing over Yanjing's rich Toda Mansion to Chang Shengjun is a major decision of the imperial court, how dare he disobey?

The Chang Shengjun was arrogant and domineering everywhere, and there were many cases of encroachment on people's land.

As a result, the people are not able to make a living.

What is even more tragic is that some of the family members of the former Liaochen have turned into beggars, they have suffered hardship and humiliation everywhere, and even innocently killed by the Chang Shengjun, and there is no way to complain.

Due to the looting and harassment of the Changsheng army, the mistakes of the Song Dynasty's policies, and the weakness and confusion of the Yanshan Mansion, many families in the Yanjing area were even more displaced and distressed, which made the Great Song Dynasty lose the heart of the Yan people.

The Yanjing people were very disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty, and in their opinion, the Great Song Dynasty was far inferior to the Liao State and Liaodong, and was even inferior to the Jurchens.

Pity!

The changes in public opinion and public opinion did not attract the attention of Tong Guan and others.

Now, Tong Guan and the others are all focused on how to explain to Zhao Ji.

After Tong Guan discussed with a group of staff, he gave Zhao Ji a congratulatory note, saying that he would congratulate him on the recovery of Yanyun:

Gong Wei His Majesty's divine machine is the first thing, and he knows the omen of the destruction of the Northern Captives. In the eighth year of self-government and peace, the Jin State sent envoys to pass well, and the siege was about to be attacked, until the fourth year of Xuanhe, the captives moved to the anchor, Yeluchun usurped the establishment, and the people of Youyan were afraid of the charcoal for a long time, and they were willing to return to China......

Looking at this congratulatory table, in fact, it is to blow Zhao Ji to be wise and martial, strategize, downplay the two defeats of the Song army, exaggerate the political correctness of the Song Dynasty, first influenced Gao Feng and others to sacrifice Yizhou, and then influenced the strongest Chang Shengjun in the captives to sacrifice Zhuozhou, and finally influenced Cai to dedicate the sixteen states of Yanyun, surrendering the army without a fight, and then blowing out a few big victories that were not originally available.

In this regard, Zhao Ji did not respond, but hundreds of officials congratulated him because of this, and Wang Hao even gave Zhao Ji a congratulatory table with extremely touted words, "Your Majesty Mingtang, both unveiled the number of Pingshuo; Xuanzang stone drum, still inscribed retro name. Zhong Yu Mingjin, when Makino swears to be the master; The seal seal jade shows that the Han will break the omen. Inherit the life of Jiuqing, and the journey of the whole god Xiao Yin; Build the banner of Sanchen, and ...... to the side of the Tai Advent

Soon, that is, after Wu Jue led the last Jinwu army to leave Jizhou, Tong Guan and Cai You received an edict from Zhao Ji, ordering his squad to return to the dynasty to confer honors and hand over the military command of Yanshan Mansion to Zhan Du.

Zhan Du was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather was an official to the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of the Guanwen Palace and a member of the power to participate in political affairs, and gave the young Bao Qi Guogong, who was prominent for a while, and his father was an official to the Hanlin Bachelor's Son of the Kingdom, which can be said to be the favor of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhan Du himself is very talented, when he knew Zhenzhou in the early years of Zhenghe, the imperial court was excellent, plus Zhilong Tuge, at the age of 36, he served as the two Zhejiang transport envoys (that is, the two transport envoys in eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang), in charge of the two roads of wealth and the power of supervising and supervising the local officials of the state and county, Xuanhe served as the head of the Ma Bujun capital for three years, the pacification envoy of Zhongshan, etc., and guarded the strategic place of Zhongshan Mansion in Hebei.

Tong Guan has always appreciated Zhan Du, and he has spared no effort to promote Zhan Du over the years.

At the beginning, Cai still asked Zhao Ji for Zhan Du, and Tong Guan told Zhao Ji that he would never give Zhan Du to Cai Yi.

Zhan Du was very grateful to Tong Guan for his kindness, so when he saw off Tong Guan and Cai You on behalf of Yanshan Mansion, Zhan Du composed a song "Ping Yanyun", praising Tong Guan and Cai You as heroes: "Changting sends heroes in spring, and the country is full of red sun." The sword halberd shakes the willow moon at night, and the flag blows the apricot blossom wind. When you make a decision, you must succeed in the world. In order to repay the generals of Yanyun, Taiping took it in laughter. ”

After Tong Guan and Cai You returned to the court, Wang Anzhong issued a notice to recruit scattered people and appease the people.

Those Yandi residents who fled to the mountains to avoid disasters began to return to the city one after another, and Yanjing City gradually gained some popularity.

At this time, the Xia army had returned to China unwillingly, and the main force of the Jin army had already retreated to Dadingfu (formerly Liaozhongjing).

Yang Keshi and Yao Pingzhong led the troops of Shaanxi and Hebei Zhudao, and Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army to garrison strategic places such as Songting Pass, Gubeikou and Juyong Pass respectively to prevent attacks and disturbances from all sides.

The original local administration in the Yanyun area has been basically paralyzed.

Cai Ying's officials didn't say anything, and they were all taken away by Cai Zhen.

Most of the original local officials of the Liao State were taken away by Cai Zhen, a small part surrendered to the Jin State, a small part went to Pingzhou to vote for Zhang Jue, a small part went to Jiashan to vote for Yelu Yanxi, and a small part went to the countryside to live in seclusion and did not accept the appointment of the Great Song Dynasty.

And the small number of former Liao officials who surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty were also transferred to the mainland by the Great Song because the Great Song did not trust them.

At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty transferred a group of officials from the mainland to Yanyun to take up their posts.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty used the Pavilion Gate to preach the Sheren Liu Yi Zhijingzhou, Huizhou regimental training envoy Yang Kesheng Zhidanzhou, Zhongzhou Defense Envoy Ren Zongyao Zhijizhou and so on.

This decision is called a "change of officials".

After a series of operations, the Yanyun region officially entered the reign of the Great Song Dynasty......

……

Tong Guan and Cai You left Bianliang City in Tokyo for a full year since they raised troops to regain Yanyun in the spring of last year.

The hardships of this process are really not enough to be understood by outsiders.

But—

No matter what, Yan Yun is now in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will also return to the dynasty and be rewarded for their merits.

But—

The closer he got to Jingshi, the more uneasy Tong Guan's heart became-Tong Guan really didn't know, what Zhao Ji would do with him?

In early May, Zhao Ji issued a royal pen, asking the imperial court to add official titles to Wang Hao and others.

Zhao Ji's imperial pen wrote:

The government is not outlined, the neighboring countries are intruded, and the people's hearts are not admired, and the rate is changed to the country style. Shuo, thistle, cloud, swallow, all returned to the land, and the labor came to be settled, and the skin has been played. The creatures of Anhuaxia, the ancestors of Shaozu Kao. The strategy of the temple is a collection of immortal honors. When there is a reward, to show the odd number, you can follow the following items: Wang Huang removed the Taifu and entered the Duke of Chu; Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan, and Zhao Ye were each promoted to the second rank or above, and were awarded medals according to the grace regulations.

The next day, the imperial court officially issued an edict, the young master, Dazai and the servant of the door, and the prince of Qingguo, Wang Huang, awarded the Taifu and entered the title of Duke of Chu; Taibao Cai You, awarded as a young teacher; Tong Guan added a festival of Yue, and still led the Privy Council with Taifu.

On the same day, Zhao Ji issued another imperial pen: Wang Huang's governance is in accordance with the Taishi's style, and he can quickly note and abide by it.

At this point, Wang Huang was appointed to the Taifu, the Duke of Chu, and the general governor, and was allowed to wear purple robes, and the imperial court added cavalry to him, and he could hang a green Luo cover umbrella, paint gold from things, and slightly with the prince.

It can be seen that whether it is status or favor, Wang Hao is now equivalent to Cai Jing back then.

This is exactly what Wang Hao dreamed of.

A few days later, Tong Guan and Cai You led the army back triumphantly.

Zhao Ji came to Jinglongmen in person to watch the triumph ceremony.

Jinglongmen is very famous in Tokyo, it is located in front of the Imperial City Corner Treasure Palace, every year during the Lantern Festival, here are all the lanterns blooming, brilliant and bright, the citizens who come to watch the lanterns are endless, bustling, and Zhao Ji comes to Jinglongmen every year to play, and the people have fun.

In order to welcome Tong Guan and Cai You's triumph, a military parade was specially held today, wanting to highlight the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the phalanx of the forbidden army was walking vigorously, as if it was invincible, Zhao Ji was sullen.

Zhao Ji knew very well in his heart that these majestic forbidden troops in front of him were just some showmanship, and they were of no use at all, once they were on the battlefield, they would run faster than rabbits.

The Great Song Dynasty has to spend tens of millions of yuan every year to support such officers and soldiers, how can this make Zhao Ji happy?

Zhao Ji returned to the Zichen Hall and accepted the congratulations of the ministers.

After the ceremony, Zhao Ji and other senior officials sat down.

Then, Zhao Ji used the reward practice of "Emperor Shenzong went down to the Xihe River, and Chongning went down to the Qingtang" to untie a jade belt and reward Wang Huang.

For Wang Hao, this is a great honor.

This shows that Wang Hao, as the prime minister, has made the same merits as Wang Anshi and Cai Jing in expanding the territory for the Great Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan and Cai You were very jealous and angry when they saw that Zhao Ji had given Wang Hao the first credit for recovering Yanyun, but they didn't dare to show it, especially Tong Guan - Tong Guan was very nervous when he remembered the codex that Zhao Ji wrote to him.

Tong Guan found an opportunity to tell Zhao Ji: "The official family, the minister led the army to go out for a full year, and the cost was huge, but the Xuanfu Division was careful everywhere, and now there are 100 large pearls, 4,000 taels of gold, and there are also rhino jade money and silk and a number of local products, and then they will be offered. ”

Hearing this, a little joy appeared on Zhao Ji's face, and he sued the temple.

Soon, Zhao Ji received a recital from Wang Anzhong, saying that heavy rain had fallen in Yanshan, and that the drought had been lifted since the winter solstice last year and this spring.

Zhao Ji watched Wang Anzhong's recital several times, and he seemed to see the heavy rain in Yanshan, and the cracked earth was being moistened by the spring rain.

Zhao Ji thought to himself: "Yanyun's matter has finally come to an end, I am worthy of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty......
