The first day of the exam is over, and the examinees who enter the exam room on the second day have obviously different faces from the first day.

This time, the focus of the examination is no longer on the judgment of cases and accounts, but on the identification of various grains.

On the third day, half of the candidates came to catch the exam, and today is the last day, and there is only one question:

Suppose you are the county magistrate of Dangshan County, and heavy rain causes flooding, write an essay on how to deal with it.

The answer to the question of May Enke this time is clear, and the marking work is much simpler. Soon, the results of various localities were reported, and now there are serious vacancies in official posts, and in the north, it is often an official who does the work of the whole county, and there are still many counties where no county official has taken office, and they are in a state of military trusteeship. The land of China, a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt...

It was only in June that the candidates were summoned by the local government for the final assignment.

The officials worked all night, and in this hot June, the officials in Jinling sweated more than every year.

Early in the morning, Hou Xuanyan worked hard to write in the study, and construction was in full swing everywhere, which caused a lot of problems. In particular, the Chahar steppe, which separated Mongolia from the Manchus, completely aroused the hatred of the Manchus, and sent troops to attack several times.

Xia Wanchun was stationed on the grassland, building a simple city, and the cost of silver taels was not comparable to a simple war. Fortunately, the Jin merchants had a solid foundation and many traitors who were captured, although Xia Wanchun could see that the situation there was tense in his letter, he was still full of confidence from his words.

Wen Ze enshrined Mount Tai, and Wu Ze opened up the territory and expanded the territory, which was the highest pursuit of the ancient kings. The name Chahar is not suitable for integration into China, Hou Xuanyan frowned, and said loudly: "Go and invite the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the left and right attendants." ”

After a while, the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to the palace in groups, and Wang Fuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked, "Lord Wang, why did you summon us?" ”

Hou Xuanyan finished writing the last word, raised his head and said: "Chahar is a vast place, no less than several large provinces in the south of the Central Plains, but this name is too Hu Feng, how can I return to my heart in the future." You are all highly educated people, let's name it together! ”

The officials present had been working day and night, and the weather was very hot, and they were all wilting, but when they heard this, they suddenly came to their senses.

Naming a province will inevitably leave a mark in the history of the future years, if you come up with one and be adopted, it will not only show your face now, but this is a good name for thousands of generations.

"To stabilize the north, it is better to call it 'Dingbei' Province!"

Hou Xuanyan shook his head: "It's quite straightforward, not elegant enough, and it can't reflect our Central Plains etiquette state, the style of China." ”

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west. The north is cold, so it is better to call it 'North Cool'. ”

Hou Xuanyan frowned and said, "It's good, I always feel that it's too much..."

"The grasslands are all plains, and if you enter, there is no one in the wilderness, and it is difficult to have the work of size; There is no risk to retreat, and the Ma army is as smooth as a remark. Such a place might as well be called 'Liancheng' Province. ”

Shake one’s head..

"Northern Shaanxi!"

Shake one’s head...

"Jinbei?"

Shake one’s head...

The next day, more officials came to hear the news, and half of the officials from the entire imperial court came, and everyone wanted this opportunity to leave their names in history.

In the end, after several deliberations, Hou Xuanyan chose "Jingbei" as the name of the new province as that of a minor official of the ministry. It is initially divided into four prefectures, from south to north: Suizhou Mansion, Yunzhou Mansion, Jinzhou Mansion, and Liaozhou Mansion.

Taking the 13 provinces in the south as an example, Jingbei has set up a political envoy department, a procuratorial envoy department, a command department, and a yamen of the three departments.

In order to encourage the Han people to move north, anyone who voluntarily went to Jingbei Province could get a lot of land. As long as the people of all colors on the steppe are attached to the people, disarmed, and enjoy the same treatment, they will be exempted from all taxes within three years, and they can also be protected by the Northern Expeditionary Army stationed here, and they do not have to worry about being abused by other tribes again. As a result, some small tribes vied with each other to vote, and many of the people of the hostile large tribes also secretly ran into Jingbei Province to settle down.

Xia Wanchun, the governor of Jinjing, issued a proclamation in Yunzhou Mansion, the heart of Jingbei, that anyone who crossed the border and injured the soldiers and civilians in Jingbei would be razed by his clan.

All the leaders of the great Mongol tribes were afraid, and no matter how powerful the Han empire in the Central Plains was, it had no intention of completely occupying the steppe. But now these people's actions are obviously to gradually encroach and incorporate the entire grassland into their territory. I want to resist, but the situation is stronger than people, and the lesson of Chahar's extermination is just around the corner.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, who originally intended to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, ate the bitter fruit of their own suffering, and their communication channel with other Mongols was completely blocked.

Forbidden City, in the Kunning Palace.

"Haha, we finally have our own horse farm! Tell Xia Wanchun that he must hold on to these waves of life-fighting attacks, and let the Tartars obediently accept their fate. Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Since the elixir rode on Hou Xuanyan's back to "watch the battle" once, it was almost unenlightened, and it was diligently surrounding him at this time. She obviously knew the importance of horses, and deliberately wanted to provoke Hou Xuanyan to speak, and asked: "What's so good about horses, the Mongols have so many horses, can't they beat us." ”

There was a crisp snap, and the elixir got what it wanted, covering its little buttocks and glaring like silk. Looking at his master's high-spirited appearance, the little slave who warmed the bed was hundreds of times happier than he was in the limelight.

"Without horses, we are on the grassland, and we can only follow the group of people who are being played behind them."

Before the advent of fuel vehicles, horses meant the ability to maneuver, and the number of horses determined the ability to fight, pursue, and transport.

At this time, the Manchu Qing had gathered 60,000 people, and they were constantly harassing on the border of Jingbei, and Yan Yingyuan, who was guarding Beiping and preparing to level Liao, immediately sent troops to put pressure on Shanhaiguan. The situation in the north suddenly became tense, and the calm after the Northern Expedition lasted less than half a year, and the two sides were once again tense.

Hou Xuanyan didn't care about these at all, his eyes were already on the two sailors, if the Denglai sailors could land from the sea and conquer Korea, then the encirclement of the Manchus would become three-sided. If the Fujian sailors can defeat Zheng Chenggong and take back Dongfan Island, then the road to a wider world will be completely opened.

Both of these things are still a little difficult now, but at least they are very promising. The rapid development of the Denglai Naval Division benefited from Hou Xuanyan's dispatch of a large number of elite backbones of the Songjiang Naval Division to Dengzhou, but it was still somewhat difficult to land in North Korea.

Just when Hou Xuanyan was worried, in June of the second year of Jing You, an envoy from the island country of Japan landed in Songjiang.
