Youzhou, Bai Qu Yuan, outside the temporary line, once again sounded the victory and celebration of Lubu parade street.

"Congratulations, my lord. Ulju victory. ”

"The North Road Strike Army broke the main force of the Hebei Army at Songzikou in Ulzhou."

"Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, and countless soldiers were captured."

"Since then, the states of the mountains have been invincible, and they are all mine."

"Zhang will take advantage of the situation and lead the army to pursue Hebei with all his strength to contain the enemy in the south."

"And I wrote a letter requesting additional cooperation to seize the important points of Taihang Jingcheng."

"In order to prepare for the situation and situation that may occur in Hedong."

"Please move the remaining households of the old military cantonment on the border, and place another border battalion and garrison the army and civilians."

"Please."

I immediately decided to go to the army, staff officers, and Marquis on duty.

"Four battalions of the First Army and two battalions of the Internal Guard."

"In addition, the three battalions of the Liaoxi Domain soldiers who are long in the mountains and the two battalions of the Fujian mountain soldiers of the First Army are dispatched. ."

"There is also a battalion of combat engineers directly under it. Go and help now"

"Ordered."

Then, some of the old signs were removed from the topographic sand table representing Yagoku Kyushu, and new labels were added to represent the inclusion of control;

Of course, for example, the current status of the household registration, the type of production, the amount of resources, the area of the field, and even the size of the garrison are still partially incomplete or relatively blank, and follow-up clearing, surveying and mapping and completion are required.

The next strategy is to continue to promote the system of resettlement groups and administrative districts, although it has always been known for its simplicity and crudeness at the expense of some normal needs, but after so many years of development, it can be regarded as effective and easy to master;

The former mainly uses relatively reliable immigrant groups to occupy key resource output, strategic points, and places of compromise; The latter is used to forcibly transform and integrate the demographic components of the newly occupied areas, and turn them into labor resources and mobilization bases that can be effectively used under the Huaizhen model.

Militarized management and unified collective labor have greatly enhanced the survival rate and the efficiency of land reclamation. Moreover, the Reclamation Regiment itself is a melting pot that can bring together different people from all over the world.

What's more, immigrants in the Reclamation Corps were able to learn a variety of skills that they would not have been able to before; Even when they are re-converted to civilian citizenship in the future, they have a natural advantage over ordinary people who are not listed, on the basis of social status and economy.

Not to mention that in terms of discipline and collective obedience, coordination and cooperation, he was born to beat the so-called Ding Zhuang from small peasant families who face the loess with their backs to the sky, who may have never been out of their own villages in their lives, and who can't even distinguish between the front and the back.

Plus,

The main part of Huaizhen filling these vast grassroots units is composed of all kinds of retired veterans and disabled soldiers; Because of the collective habit of ordering and prohibiting in the army, and at the same time receiving a certain degree of literacy and numeracy education, coupled with the subsequent preferential measures, welfare benefits, and social status, it has a natural advantage and initiative in the execution of the grassroots level.

Therefore, according to some kind of hymn or brazen people, the touting propaganda is the so-called: "Since the opening of the town, Huaidi has been ruled for a long time, and the people have a place to live in peace, there are no hungry people on the road, and there are no howling and crying people in the wilderness. Chase three generations, and return to the rule of the previous king. ”

At this time, a summons Yu Hou again

"Report, the latest war situation announcement in Hebei Province."

"What... The trapped Cangzhou army has been relieved. ”

I couldn't help but be surprised by the news.

"Go to the supporting Second Army of the Garrison. Turning into a multi-way pursuit? ”

"What's going on here."

As far as I know, the vassal armies and volunteers sent to Hebei to serve as a containment force are well-known for being good at fighting with the wind, and are not good at watching and helping each other in joint forces and coordinated operations, so they can only harass and sabotage the role of partial divisions;

Therefore, in the absence of any expectation that they would take the initiative to support the trapped friendly forces, I specially sent the old army Wu Luo Hussar from Liangshan over in order to suppress and unify their forces in battle, so as to create an opportunity for the trapped Cangzhou army to break through and escape;

But I didn't expect that the result of a local battle that should have been achieved was inexplicably turned into a tiger-like pursuit battle because the enemy suddenly gave up and retreated.

Later, more detailed battle reports and announcements were sent to make me understand.

Well, it is worthy of the son of luck in another time and space, the Dapeng bird trapped in Hengshui City did not sit back to deal with it, but actually played a Jedi counterattack.

Just a few days ago, after he left most of his men and horses into the dilapidated Hengshui City, he attracted the Hebei army that was surrounded and intercepted by all sides, but he brought only more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and the light cavalry in simple clothes and light cavalry under the banner of the captured Yongning Army of Hebei Province, ventured through the gaps of the enemy troops and rushed straight out;

Then, like a fish returning to the sea and a tiger leaping into the mountains, it broke and burned many grain strongholds of the Hebei Army along the way, and went straight to the city of Xindu, the capital of Jizhou; He also set fire and plundered in the fangs and manors on the outskirts of the city, bluffing to attract the defenders of the city to come to the rescue, but was ambushed by his men and horses and returned home.

Then, when these defeated enemies were defeated and fled in a hurry, he personally led the troops to change their clothes and mixed them and fled into the city, and even captured the Dongsheng Gate of Xindu Waiguo in one go; It was the whole city of Xindu that was shocked, and set off a round of fleeing frenzy that rushed to trample on it.

It was not until two days later that it was confirmed that there was no follow-up by the Huai army, and the troops from other places were reorganized to recapture, but the building was already empty, and only a pile of flags of various colors used to cover it up, and sheep used to make continuous drum and trumpet sounds.

After receiving the news of the loss of the old nest in the rear, those Hebei soldiers who had originally gathered to besiege the Cangzhou Army too deeply could not help but be shaken and confused, and they had no intention of fighting again and retreated one after another, but at this time, Yao Zhen, the deputy general of the Cangzhou Army, who took the initiative to stand out, entangled the Shulu Army and the Gaoyang Army;

As a result, as soon as the vanguard cavalry led by Luo Hu's cavalry to help arrived, these Hebei troops, who were already lacking in fighting spirit, suddenly collapsed out of control, and turned into a rout tide of several wolves and rats on the Hebei Plain.

Therefore, before the last harrier sent the news over, Luo Hucai's first cavalry and the rest of the Cangzhou army had already taken advantage of the situation to sweep away and recover the Wuyi and Zaoqiang cities on the periphery of Xindu, as well as many defense towns such as Raoyang, Zhangnan, Ninghua, and Jiuxian as the eastern shield.

At this time, a new report was sent in again, but it was the third round of envoys from Zhang Bangchang, the governor of Hebei, who had just arrived in Youzhou.

。。。。。。。。。

And far away on the banks of the great rivers in the south, among the grass pavilions sheltering from the rain in the wild,

Several students were also holding a private farewell, most of them carrying their burdens and book cages, ready to do the adventure of setting off north.

And a large Upong ship stationed not far away is the tool they are about to cross.

Because some time ago, with the officials in the north who were expelled back and stranded in Jiangning one after another, some news began to spread in various parts of Jiangnan, and even a special notice appeared that was constantly prohibited, claiming that Huaidi began to do the trip to open the imperial examination, and selected talents by practice;

And with the corresponding conditions and requirements, indicating the object that can be sought and sought after arriving in Jiangbei,

Therefore, for a while, the remnants of students and scholars in those places with a little literary brilliance and knowledge, but who have no way to make progress, are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Although there were only a small number of poor and down-and-out scholars and students in the early stage, with the speculative mind of giving it a try, they secretly went north by throwing stones and asking for directions; But then even if they didn't pass the exam, the news that they were left to re-support and study for the next year touched and stimulated more people in the future.

After all, although the Daliang Imperial Court outside the Lingnan also opened the imperial examination and opened the door to all schools to treat all parties, after the evolution of the past dynasties over the years, it has been a lot of drawbacks and hidden regional discrimination.

It can be said that except for the establishment of the Jiangning Companion Capital, after symbolically selecting and recommending a group of local celebrities and scholars, there was no imperial examination and other forms of selection for the Jiangnan provinces.

As for trying to get a guarantee and credential from the government, going all the way to Lingwai Guangfu to take the exam and enroll in school, and even competing with the locals for a handful of specific places; It can be said that except for a few people who are really wealthy and can be encouraged to try, it is no longer something that most scholars and their families in the land of Jiangnan can easily afford.

Having said that, because of the protracted two Northern Expeditions, there were too many troubles, and Guangfu, as the capital of the Great Liang State, has only held one imperial examination so far; Enko, who was originally added to celebrate the fall of the Northern Dynasty, was simply stillborn because of the royalist coup d'état in Canton.

Not to mention, so far, due to the continuous turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, the system of academic administration and academic officials at all levels has been established, and these scholars want to seek advancement in the local area, which is also the result of being unable to surrender everywhere.

At least Huaizhen does not have a specific regional concept, but is willing to open the door to all people of origin; They are also willing to provide various conveniences along the way, and even if they fail to be selected, they will also be given subsidies for repeating and re-trying;

Just rushing a little bit is enough to make those scholars who are trapped in hunger and cold and have nothing to find out have some motivation and expectation. What's more, the notice only said that the number of subsidized places is limited, and everyone knows that this kind of thing will be less and less later, and who knows if there will be such opportunities or leniency in the coming year.

Therefore, the original trickle of throwing stones to ask for directions has also become a gradually surging undercurrent under the loosening of people's hearts.

In this regard, the local governments along the south of the Yangtze River also have different attitudes, some pretending to be deaf and dumb or sitting idly by, and some are strictly punishing and not lending to set an example; He even sent special patrolmen to set up checkpoints to search for suspicious people along the coast, etc., to prevent the families of these traitors who "joined the enemy" in the places under their rule, so as to invite favor and curry favor with the superiors.

But no matter what they did, and finally submitted all kinds of opinions, countermeasures, and regulations to Jiangning Prefecture, the result was undeniable
