Chapter 175: Hebei Province, Liaodong City

After deliberation, the decision was finally made. This time, nearly 40,000 soldiers will be on leave, and Li Cunhuan's order was issued, which was really a thunderous change.

Many people are unaware of the homesickness brought about by a soldier's long-term service, especially in troubled times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a family letter is worth 10,000 dollars.

However, Li Cunhuan was not stupid, he pulled up the regimental training of the border army, so that although the strength of the border was weakened a lot, it was not so simple to break through.

At the same time, a series of major personnel appointments were also introduced, and Li Cunhuan formed Hebei Province, which already had no real name, in fact, according to the usual practice, the highest governor of Hebei Province should be the envoy of Wei Bojiedu. However, Li Cunhuan didn't care so much, he directly followed his own plan, divided Andong, Lulong, and Yichang into Hebei Province, and appointed himself as the observer of Hebei Province.

This is equivalent to Li Cunhuan establishing a small central court. Li Cunhuan changed Hebei Province to an official system, and his subordinates were subordinate to the deputy envoy of observation and the sixth division to join the army.

The six divisions joining the army are actually equivalent to the six departments of later generations, which are Si Gong (equivalent to the Ministry of Officials), Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Bing, Justice, and Si Shi (equivalent to the Ministry of Industry).

However, there is an overlap between Si Cang's participation in the army, Si Gong's participation in the army, and Si Hu's participation in the army, Li Cunhuan asked Sha Yu Ke to go to the army, in fact, Si Cang's participation in the army is also a nominal entry into the army. The deputy envoy of observation was served by the eldest Sun Chengliang, and Zhang Chengye was promoted to the post of supervisor of the Hebei army. Si Gong joined the army by Nie Yizhong, who was 60 years old. Sihu joined the army, with Zhang Chengye serving as the concurrently and Wu Bifu serving as the deputy joining the army. Zhou Dewei served as the commander of the army, and Yang Shihou served as the deputy to join the army. Nie Yizhong served as the deputy in the judicial army, and Han Yanhui served as the deputy in the army. The sergeant joined the army by Wu Bifu.

At the same time, Jiang Yingjie, an old man from Danzhou, was transferred to Cangzhou as a soldier and horse envoy, and the Yichang Festival envoy was still served by Zhou Dewei, but it had become a remote leader, that is, a nominal one.

After a series of changes, Li Cunhuan's power was once again consolidated, and Hebei became a country equivalent to centralized power. All the big power is concentrated in the hands of Li Cunhuan and the Sixth Division, and Li Cunhuan has the power to directly appoint and dismiss the Sixth Division.

Li Keyong of Hedong is very knowledgeable, he immediately appointed Li Cunhuan as the observer envoy of Hebei Province in the name of Emperor Qianning, as for the appointment of other people, Li Cunhuan appointed him as he wanted, anyway, it was useless for him to object, Lu Long was regarded as giving him Li Ke face if someone threw him a look.

After dealing with the cumbersome government affairs, Li Cunhuan began to hunt in autumn, and he led a small number of soldiers and horses, a total of 8,000 people. Most of them are recruits, and in the words of Li Cunhuan, recruits have a sharp spirit. Among them, there are 5,000 loyal and filial piety troops, 500 iron eagles, and 2,500 white horses. The entourage included Zhou Dewei, Gao Siji, Li Cunxiao, Yelu Abaoji, Xue Atan, Yang Shihou, Feng Dao, etc.

casually mentioned Yelu Abaoji, he was refrigerated by Li Cunhuan when he came back from his meritorious service, in fact, it was not refrigerated, but Li Cunhuan did not serve him as a local official, and he is now just the deputy envoy of Yichang Jiedu.

Li Cunhuan set off towards Pingzhou, there is the famous Shanhaiguan, built since the Sui Dynasty, the tall and sturdy city wall, the momentum of a husband and a man who is not open, all silently attract the hearts of visitors.

Li Cunhuan stayed in Shanhaiguan for a day, continued to set off, and after Shanhaiguan was Yingzhou. There is only one road from Pingzhou to Yingzhou, along the coastline, which is a straight road built in the Tang Dynasty that I don't know when it was opened. Although it has not been well maintained, and the road has been somewhat uneven, in general, the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty still has a conscience. At least Li Cunhuan feels that this road is definitely not a tofu scum project, and the straight road that is wide enough to accommodate nine large cars Li Cunhuan estimates that it can be used for 200 years even without maintenance.

Of course, the premise is that no one cuts down the trees on both sides of the straight, and the trees strengthen the land, so that the loess compacted straight is fully protected.

After walking a long distance, Li Cunhuan really had the urge to cut military spending and increase the intensity of road construction, and according to his estimates, he could travel about 80 miles in a day. At the time, it was a very proud achievement.

After all, the army walked for more than just five or six hours, and more importantly, they also needed to carry equipment. The cavalry was not easy, as they had to get to the camp site before the infantry, and then they fed the horses and checked the hooves of the horses for injuries during the march. You have to graze and wash the horses by the water source, this has to be the knight in person, this is the best opportunity to cultivate feelings with war horses, and an excellent knight needs to often cultivate feelings with war horses.

However, because of the existence of the straight road, Li Cunhuan's marching speed reached nearly 100 miles on the first day, and Li Cunhuan estimated that he would be able to reach Yuluo City in five days, also known as the ancient county town of Liaoxi, which was once the seat of the Governor's Mansion of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. (now Jinzhou City)

After resting for a day in Jinzhou, Li Cunhuan set off here and set off towards Liaodong City, the seat of the Governor's Mansion of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Just came to Liaodong City, Li Cunhuan couldn't believe that the place in front of him was Liaodong City, and Li Cunhuan could see the situation outside the gate clearly along the way. It is not that there is no farmland outside the gates, but even the farmers live in the form of half-farming and half-grazing. But then it will make people feel a sense of being sparsely populated.

It is true that 50 acres of land can feed a family of four, but if you want to graze, you need 500 acres of land. Even semi-tillage and semi-grazing require nearly 300 acres of land, which is indeed a lot worse than Youzhou.

Different from Liaodong City, Liaodong City is located on the east bank of Liaoshui, located in the lower reaches of Liaoshui, but not by the sea. However, when Li Cunhuan came to Liaoshui, he saw countless boats flowing endlessly in Liaoshui, and Li Cunhuan even had a feeling that what flowed in Liaoshui was not water, but boats.

Greeted by Fu Cunxian, Li Cunhuan rode a furious lion into Liaodong City, which was an industrial area on the side of the river outside Liaodong City, where a large number of workshops and shops were talking to people wearing ancient Han costumes, and some people who were obviously Khitans and Jurchens were trading.

Most of the people wearing ancient Hanfu sold coarse cloth and paper to Liaodong City, while the Khitans sold cattle, sheep, horses, and animal skins, and the Jurchens sold rice, coarse cloth, horses, pearls, and animal skins. There are also people dressed in their own clothes who sell expensive items such as tortoiseshell armor, lacquerware, picture scrolls, and sake.

ps: I'm a little busy today, this chapter has not been modified, and everyone will be done! What, with tears in my eyes and a weak question, is there a recommendation ticket?
