Lijiazhuang, Shangwu decided to officially enter Shangdang County. In this regard, he mobilized the 7893 regiments, and formed a new regiment, the newly formed 12th Infantry Regiment, with the regiment commander Li Yun. Chief of Staff Fang Yu.

The number of people in each group is basically about 700 people. A large number of key members of the teaching team have been added, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. This will be very beneficial for the next offensive operation. Only then did it lead the attack on Shangwu, and Jia Xu marched with him as Shangwu's adviser. In order to increase the mobility of the attack, the 1st Cavalry Company also advanced. They were a light cavalry unit built on the basis of the Scout Cavalry, and they were to scout and maintain communication on the battlefield.

Before setting out on the expedition, Shangwu followed Jia Xu's advice and reorganized the base area.

The base area is composed of two parts, one part is the base area, in this part of the area, the people generally have a good impression of the Red Turban Army, and can actively participate in the construction of the base area, for example, actively pay taxes, support the tax policy, the landlords can also actively support the military operations of the martial arts, participate in more commercial activities, such commercial activities are more conducive to their development of greater economic activities.

The other part is the guerrilla zone, and in this part of the area, there are some people who support the Red Turban Army, they support the Red Turban Army, and they are further establishing base areas in accordance with the development steps of the Red Turban Army. This is the transition zone. The other is in a slow transition. Because the people were generally dissatisfied with the Eastern Han government. The disappointment with the Yellow Turban Army is more serious. The guerrilla division was divided into four operational areas, southeast, northwest, and northwest, with each of the two main regiments as one part, and they carried out guerrilla operations on a large scale in companies and platoons, which formed a great deterrent to the officers and troops, and with the existence of the Red Turban Army, their development speed was quite rapid, because the officers and troops were completely powerless to resist the Red Turban Army.

Internally, Shangwu reformed three major departments. Respectively, the Ministry of Finance and Economics, which is in charge of Ergou. The Ministry of Operations, which is actually equivalent to the complex of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, and in addition to this, the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the judiciary. It mainly governs legislation and the implementation of laws.

Originally, the Ministry of Finance and Economics was divided into two departments, one was the Ministry of Finance and the other was the Ministry of Economy, but because of the extreme lack of talents, it could only be combined into one department. But there are simply too many things under the jurisdiction of this department. It consists of a commercial bureau, a civil factory bureau, a bank, a tax bureau and other bureaus. The War Department consists of the Red Turban Military Academy, the Teaching Team, the Military Factory, the Military Police, the Militia, and the Operations Headquarters. The judicial part is the legal department, whose function is mainly to provide legal support, and they will establish a new social order in accordance with the existing laws, and the police force will provide the necessary police force for social order. The Legislative Council was also under this department, and the members of the Legislative Council, most of whom were from the three elders of the nearby villages, were prestigious, morally virtuous, enlightened landlords, merchants, and had an extremely complex membership. However, it is possible to specify a law that serves most of the interests. This is the main force that the Ministry of Justice is able to implement the relevant policies. The Minister of Justice was Chen Falai, a middle-aged man who turned out to be a teacher in a nearby village, that is, a private school teacher. But he has a good prestige. With him as Minister of Justice, perhaps such a matter could be resolved. After all, there is still too little knowledge here in Shangwu.

Originally, Shangwu planned to take the form of election campaign, but Jia Xu opposed this, he believed that the time was not yet ripe, and the people were not used to this way of operation, and it must be carried out after the people were familiar with it and had a sense of independence. In this regard, Shangwu had no choice but to agree. However, Shangwu retained one idea, that is, to establish a newspaper, a newspaper office. This is a great help in opening wise. However, the most important thing at the moment is to fight, and these can only be put aside temporarily.

"Our main target this time is Shangdang County, which is a good place. There is plenty of food, and the number of troops defending is not very large, which will be of great help to the next step of the expansion of our base area, and there is not much else to say. Let's talk about our battle plan this time. Shang Wu said as he spread out and hung up the map.

Our march route is like this, bypassing the county seat of Wu'an. Entering the country. Enter the Taihang Mountains. Along the way, we will be met by the personnel of Lao Mu's regiment, the 7th and 8th regiments will be the vanguard, opening the obstacles in the way of advance, and the 9th and 12th regiments will follow closely behind to escort our supplies. "Shang Wu has arranged.

"In this operation, the number of battles may not be very large, after all, there is not much military force in the local area, but we must not harass the local people, we must take pacification measures against the people, and take severe measures to crack down on the bandits who bully the people. Smooth transition over with maximum stability. Shang Wu said.

"The Ministry of Justice, as well as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will then send relevant officials to follow us to expand and establish new base areas, in short, this time, the main purpose is not the main purpose, the main way is to make a smooth transition. If you can't fight, it's better not to fight. Shang Wu said. Although the crowd was a little puzzled, they knew that when they really encountered resistance, they would still be there. After all, it's their duty.

"This battle is not very difficult." Jia Xu said to Shangwu.

"Well, the difficulty is not here, it's how we can reasonably promote our policies, because we are afraid that the people will oppose us, in this case, we will not be able to gain a firm foothold." Shang Wu was still a little worried.

"Today, the eunuchs of the imperial court are in power, and the entire imperial court is in a miasma, and those eunuchs, in order to loot money, have come up with all kinds of methods, and the tax has increased considerably. The same is true of Shangdang County. Jia Xu said.

"We can't do anything about eunuchs. After all, they control the entire center. But we can't take them in a radical way. Some of them are still good, but the funds in their hands are a good thing. Shang Wu said.

"Hehe, Shangwu wouldn't be the idea to beat them, right?" Jia Xu asked Shangwu with a smile.

"Yes, I've been thinking about this all the time, because from what I've got, these eunuchs are extremely greedy. But they have a lot of money in their hands, and if we can attract them to our bank, it will help us a lot. Shang Wu said. Regarding the funds in the hands of these eunuchs, Shang Wu felt that there should be some good way to attract them. After all, they hold the power to spend most of a country's revenue, and at the same time rely on the power in their own hands to make crazy money. But when this part of the money is gathered, it does not play its due role, and if they can attract this part of the money to the bank, the effect may be very good.

"You mean to let them put a lot of money in the bank?" Jia Xu reacted quickly.

"Yes, if you can deposit it in the bank, we just give them a certain deposit certificate and tell them the relevant income, and they will be willing to deposit a large amount of money, which I have already started. Zuo Feng is such a person, I don't know if he can convince their regular attendants to make such an investment. The guarantee I give them is that we guarantee the safety of their funds. At the same time, give them a certain amount of interest. Shang Wu said.

"I'm afraid that's not enough." Jia Xu said.

"The most important thing is to be able to make them see it, to feel the huge benefits, and to get them to support us in doing so." Jia Xu suggested.

"Well, I think it's okay to cooperate, and we have to encourage them to cooperate with commercial banks." Shang Wu said.

"But your idea is very bold, we can carry out a cooperation on related measures, for example, we open a bank to Luoyang, so that most of the world's funds can be concentrated in us, we have a very extensive financial cooperation, they have relevant profits, and we have a relevant cooperation base. Shang Wu felt that this idea was really bold, because if it did, it would make many things more favorable.

Suppose that those eunuchs put a large amount of embezzled funds into Shangwu, their funds can become extremely sufficient, and then they can lend, such as giving some financial support to merchants. Shang Wu felt that this was still more feasible.

While Shang Wu was considering this plan, Zuo Feng, who was far away in Luoyang, was also actively promoting the benefits of the bank.

"Save money? Hmph, put money into other people's pockets, our family is still not at ease, we are all cripples, not good women. There are no roots either. The only careful thought, others who understand. Zhang Rang preached to Zuo Feng.

"Our only hobby is looking at the sparkling gold, which is our only good thing. We don't know what a bank is, we don't know what an investment is, and we are also for your own good. This gold, what is placed in the hand is the gold, and the rest of the place. There is danger. Zhang Rang said. Zuo Feng wanted to persuade Zhang Rang to deposit all the money he collected into Shang Wu's bank, because Shang Wu had already told him that if he deposited it, he would give him a certain percentage of the commission, which was his benefit, and at present, he had united several Huangmen to deposit the money together, but the deposited funds still felt small, he felt that if he could persuade Zhang Changshou to join in, their effect would definitely be much better, but unfortunately, he said a lot, Zhang Changshou was unmoved, not only that, he also felt, Zuo Feng's approach was very dangerous, and he persuaded Zuo Feng not to do such a risky thing. This persuasion made Zuo Feng embarrassed. Because he felt that what Zhang Changshou said seemed to make sense.
