Xiao Xuan didn't plan to waste too much time, from the beginning of winter to the approaching first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen's first month and the New Year, he went to more than 20 counties and hundreds of townships along the Yangtze River waterway, from Jiangxi to Sichuan, and even in a certain area of the river. One by one, more than 2,700 people from all over the country were selected from all over the country by the First Division of the Volunteer Left Army. The four-way people led by Zhou Dayong also went to more than 200 townships in more than 40 other counties in total, and met with more than 5,000 people in total, among which many people who planned to stay to avoid revenge were finally met by Xiao Xuan again. In the course of the interview, of course, there were also special transcripts.

After summarizing the situation in various places, although many of the situations had long been expected, seeing that at least half of the townships and counties were obviously off track, and the crimes were enough to remove him from his post and even rectify all kinds of unhealthy tendencies, Zhou Dayong still felt a lot of pressure.

However, Xiao Xuan understands the difficulty of going against the sky in this era, so he does not take it seriously for all kinds of chaos in the grassroots revolution. Through this round of investigation, although the problems in many places are still very serious, they are actually better than Xiao Xuan expected. At least about 40 percent of the expatriate teams that are seriously waterlogged and have a very weak degree of revolution can roughly follow the requirements. There is no obvious moth, and these places are still more obvious and decent sources of soldiers, which shows that the judicial checks and balances outside the system brought by the previous "judicial movement" and "quick trial movement" still play a sufficient role, giving a lot of deterrent effect to various localities, and also making many places dare not mess around.

In order to avoid all kinds of chaos and trouble, the fleet did not promptly solve and deal with local problems after discovering them, but immediately issued a secret order after the parade was largely completed and the fleet of the Volunteer Left Army returned to Nanjing, arresting officials involved in the case in hundreds of townships and towns in 30 counties where the problem was quite serious, as well as thousands of soldiers involved in the case, starting with the lowest soldiers.

In the first month, a storm like spring thunder swept across both sides of the Yangtze River, and even affected many places in the north. Many local military administrations, which had begun to show signs of militarization and regarded themselves as the emperors of the soil, were also purged to the maximum extent in the process of thorough purges and even lynching and execution by local people. The chaos of land reform, which lasted for several months, was finally put to rest. On the basis of the hundreds of local garrisons and leading groups in counties that did not have much of a problem that were tested in these grassroots struggles, social changes that spread to the northwest, Shandong, and many other places on a larger scale were thus carried out extensively.

Beginning in Hangzhou, other provinces and prefectures have also set up more than 500 judicial yamen for cases involving officials and the military. A judicial system that is independent of local government was also hastily established around the time of the Lunar New Year.

As for whether to build a relatively complete judicial system according to the methods of the imperial examination in the past, Xiao Xuan was still somewhat hesitant. It seems that the method of the imperial examination is the most fair and just method, but of course Xiao Xuan also understands that it is precisely because of "fairness and justice" that it is easy to produce interest groups that are not very controlled. Although Xiao Xuan did not hesitate to indirectly many of the methods in the modern Western mechanism, he was still essentially a judicial instrumentalist rather than a judicial superior. What's more, the task of preparing for the entire Chongzhen four years is very heavy, and many things can only be put aside a little.

As a result of this round of purge in the winter, the number of new army soldiers who have volunteered to sign up in various localities has also increased markedly compared with what was previously expected, and as many as 30,000 or 40,000 young people in more than 100 counties have volunteered to join the expeditionary force.

The great waves of the battlefield and the grassroots struggle, and even the selection of volunteers in front of the test, also further improved the composition of the volunteer left army and the remaining right army under Xiao Xuan in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and even the main force with the first army and the second army as the core.

When the Grand Canal was reopened, the main force of the team gradually moved to the north to carry out adaptive training, and at the same time, in the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen, a lot of information about the establishment of the state gradually came over.

Xiao Xuan deliberately went south in the summer and autumn of the third year of Chongzhen, and did not attract the main force of Jianzhou to launch an expedition to the west. After pacifying the Yarkand and even the Oirat tribes, Hei Huanbule gave up his plan to solve the Chongzhen regime with the south after understanding that the war situation in the Central Plains seemed to be devastating. In particular, after learning that only about 10,000 people had landed from Liaodong, the partial division had dealt a heavy blow to the remaining troops in Liaodong, but finally decided to move more troops westward, leaving only more than 10,000 people in the Liaodong area who could have enough maneuver and maneuver to effectively survive and maintain their existence by hunting and guerrillas, and of course a large number of servants mainly Chahar Mongols. In this way, even if the Chongzhen regime suffered serious losses in the possible Northern Expedition, it would still not encounter a crisis that would break the bones and bones. In this way, the Manchurian forces in eastern Liaodong gradually embarked on the journey of moving westward from the autumn of the third year of Chongzhen to the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Although the west of Jianzhou's main force was delayed for at least half a month in the news, Xiao Xuan did not get the relevant news at that time. If it was said that in the second year of Chongzhen or the first year of Chongzhen, this was still something that made Xiao Xuan a little worried, but Xiao Xuan also figured it out at this time. In East Asia at this time in history, the main force of Jianzhou may have been called the last team that could pose a sufficient threat to the Central Plains. However, by the time the main force of the Volunteer Army and even the Revolutionary Army had become fundamentally different in terms of combat effectiveness and the scale of their combat forces. The Jianzhou Jurchens are no longer the biggest threat to the Central Plains, and even in expeditionary operations, they are not the biggest trouble. At best, it was just one of many opponents on the journey, just like Western Liao.

If, after sweeping away Yarkand and Virat, the main force of Jianzhou expands further to the west, it will save a lot of things to a large extent. After all, the area in the middle of the river is not the Central Plains, and if the forces in that area are to be truly integrated, it will obviously not be a matter of overnight.

The training that lasted for many months also made the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary units from the Volunteer Army to the Revolutionary Army substantially improved compared with the previous year, and many officers and generals in the team were also eager to try it when there was still a lot of time before the autumn, and even many people suggested whether the expedition could be launched in advance, but Xiao Xuan did not change the original plan. After all, only Xiao Xuan himself understands what kind of opponent he will face on this expedition and how significant it is.
