Handan County Shoufu.

Like most of the yamen in the world, the front compound is where the public hall is located, and around the public hall is the location of the six rooms, and the prison warehouse and the like are also built nearby, close together, and connected by roads.

Behind the yamen, there are some small courtyards.

This is the office of the county guard, the county officer, the county lieutenant and other high-ranking officials in the county, and is connected to the yamen outside, which can be regarded as the backyard of the yamen, and in some places, there is no special official residence, so most of the bureaucrats who come here to be officials from other places live in the backyard of the yamen, and there is a courtyard standing in the office, and there are several courtyards standing in the house, connecting the family members and entourage, etc.

Zheng Cheng is not a county guard, but a county guard, that is, equivalent to a deputy county guard, at the same time, he is also the deputy envoy of the Jingbian Army, which is equivalent to the deputy of Du Rui, the king of Zhao, both of whom are held by Du Rui, of course, in Zheng Cheng's view, Du Rui is just a banner, but a mascot-like existence, and it is himself who really presides over the military and political affairs of Handan Town.

As for Liang Fengzhi and others, according to Zheng Cheng's understanding, after a while, there will be an order to transfer Liang Fengzhi back to the capital to report on his work, of course, this must be the second step of the plan that can only be implemented after he has gained a firm foothold in the Jingbian Army and mastered power.

So, you have to be careful.

It has been more than a month since he came to Handan, and this month, Zheng Cheng did not rush to seize power, and did not penetrate his tentacles into the Jingbian Army, but focused on Handan Town, on the one hand, he had a good relationship with Zhaojun Li, and contacted the local clans and powerful people, on the other hand, he held the administrative power, took back the financial power, and was responsible for the logistics supply of the Jingbian Army.

His methods were relatively soft, like spring breeze and rain, and did not cause a backlash from Liang Fengzhi and others.

After all, it is right for the civil affairs department to control the logistics supply of the army, but when Feng Li was in power, Handan Shou at that time was also his person, in fact, it is equivalent to Feng Li's control of all military and political power, of course, it is not true that Feng Li controls all of them. Because, whether it is the Great Qi Dynasty or the Tang Empire, the post of county lieutenant in Handan Town is surnamed Li, and it is held by the Li clan of Zhao County Li.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the county soldiers.

The county soldiers are equivalent to the militia and other troops, and the regular army is not a system, which is not much different from the Han and Tang dynasties in the earth era, but the county soldiers in this world are not those people who serve in the army on the earth, that is to say, they are not ordinary people, and the Jingbian army is general, they are all warriors, and the logistics baggage battalion also has a mage.

The county soldiers are mostly composed of local warriors, the source is mostly the local wealthy family guards, the origin of the soldiers is not complicated, and, only once or twice a year for training, if there is a local bandit, or there are monsters out of the mountains to disturb the people, or there are evil ghosts and strange appearances, the county soldiers will gather, led by the county captain, and cooperate with the court to suppress bandits or fight with monsters.

Under normal circumstances, the county soldiers are not the main force of the battle.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, it is impossible to compare with regular troops.

Of course, there are normal situations, and naturally there are exceptions.

If a county has a super-first-class gate valve family like Zhao Jun Li, then the combat effectiveness of the local county soldiers should not be underestimated, to a certain extent, this county soldier is the private soldier of the super-first-class gate valve family, so no matter how the county guards the county, the post of county lieutenant must be assumed by the clansmen of the super-first-class gate valve, which is an unwritten tacit understanding between the court and the family.

If this is not the case, there is only one result for someone from the court to serve as the county lieutenant, that is, he can only become a loner, and the government decree may not even be able to get out of the courtyard where the county lieutenant works, and the only person he can order may be his family entourage.

When Feng Li controlled Handan Town, the position of county lieutenant was also held by the Li family, if he wanted the county soldiers to cooperate with his military operations, Feng Li had to discuss with the county lieutenant, of course, under normal circumstances, the Li family would cooperate with Feng Li. After all, Feng Li has rules and bottom lines, and his attitude towards Zhaojun Li is very gentle, and he has never robbed Zhaojun Li's sphere of influence.

Today, everything is changing.

This change began after Feng Li's death, and reached its peak after Zheng Cheng and his party came to Handan.

Zheng Cheng and his entourage plus the guards have thousands of people, and there are grandmaster-level martial artists to suppress the formation, of course, the grandmaster surnamed Qin is just a guest Qing, he has always lived in a simple place, he is cultivating at any time, and he rarely shows up, but no one believes that he will always be like this, if Zheng Cheng's side has a conflict with Liang Fengzhi and others, this grandmaster will most likely take action and will not ignore it.

In the face of Zheng Cheng, Liang Fengzhi and others were more restrained.

The original county guard and county commander of Handan Town were transferred back to Chang'an, and the civil and financial power was taken back by Zheng Cheng, and the Jingbian Army did not react to this, after all, for Liang Fengzhi and others, the army is the most important.

Whether it is financial power or civil power, as long as the army is still there, it can be snatched back at any time, of course, if it does that, it will be no different from the warlords of the feudal towns in Yanzhao, Qingzhou and other places. In those places, the officials of the imperial court were nothing more than mud bodhisattvas on the altar, unable to make any decisions, and it was okay to be obedient and live through their tenure, but if they had other ideas, most of them would not be able to protect their heads.

In Handan Town, although the imperial decrees are sometimes difficult to implement, they are not a dead letter.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a contradiction between the four major commanders of the Jingbian Army, Liang Fengzhi's prestige is insufficient, only the green-shirted Kelandu openly stands for him, and the bloody clothes battalion leads Nangong to do his own thing, no one is a bird, as for Guo Hui, he is even more openly against Liang Fengzhi, and the battalion of soldiers and horses under him is simply an independent force, after all, Liang Fengzhi is not a jiedu envoy, and he actually has no right to command him.

It is precisely because the Jingbian Army is not monolithic that Zheng Cheng's actions were smooth at the beginning.

Therefore, he is a little ambitious, believing that he will be able to successfully control the situation, a few days ago, he has been secretly in contact with Guo Hui, the two parties are bargaining, although they can't talk for a while, however, Zheng Cheng believes that the deal will be reached, no matter from which point of view, Guo Hui has no possibility of disagreeing, conditions or something, slowly talk about the total talk.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Zheng Cheng left the desk and came to the window.

There is a small courtyard outside the study, there are a few branches of cold plum in the courtyard, the red buds are swaying on the branches, there is a breeze blowing through the small courtyard, the dark fragrance is coming to the nose, Zheng Cheng looked at the branches of the cold plum, smiling.

At this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

A warrior broke into the small courtyard, he came to the Hanmei branch, stood in front of the window, and bowed to Zheng Cheng.

Zheng Cheng suppressed his smile.

"King Zhao has entered the city......"

Zheng Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.

"Admiral Landu is waiting at the gate of the city, and he welcomed King Zhao to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion!"
