After the retreat of Yan Wushu, Hu Yangeng was still not comfortable, because Puliu Ru Bosheng received a report from Suo Chao, so he had to let the third and fourth regiments retreat to Gaoping, and he came with five regiments including the eleventh regiment.

It is now the twentieth day of the lunar month, and Lu Zhishen has not yet sent someone to win, indicating that Wanyan Liduo has not yet withdrawn, and Hu Yangeng has to lead the main force back to Gaoping.

But the good news is that Zhang Suo has led the displaced people on the West Hebei Road, as well as Wu Ge Yao Youzhong's department, to reach the East Hebei Road safely, and Zhang Yanju is trying to find a way to send the displaced people to various counties and form a Baojia.

The purpose of Huyangeng's dispatch of troops this time has been achieved, and the whole army retreated from Gaoping, and the entire eleven regiments have converged in the areas of Hejian and Cangzhou. At the end of the second year of Jianyan, it actually came in peace.

Taking advantage of the Hebei West Road to appease the envoy Zhang Suo and the minister of the Qin Mission, Shangshu Youcheng, and the promotion of the river defense envoy Zhang Chengbo, the two civil officials who are qualified to be ranked as the ruler, are all in the river, Hu Yangeng wants to implement the matter of building a feudal Hebei.

Zhang had no objections, he had always admired Hu Yangeng, Zhang Chengbo originally came to investigate the cause of Zhang Yiqian's death, but there is no conclusion at present, so there is no suitable excuse to stop Hu Yangeng from building a domain. Therefore, on the eve of the third year of Jianyan, under the auspices of Zhang Suo, Zhang Chengbo officially awarded Hu Yangeng as the pacification envoy of Beiyang.

"Beiyang?" Hu Yangeng lowered his head, but his heart was twisted, he thought it would be the protection of Heshuo and the Bohai Sea, but he didn't expect it to be Beiyang.

"Westerners, vast, abundant." Zhang Suo held his long beard and explained with a smile on the side: "You once told the old man that if you want to deal with the gold thief, you have to go deep behind the gold thief in the north. The vast land in the north is allowed to gallop, so it is called Beiyang, and the old man has already mentioned the imperial court, explaining this meaning. ”

Well, people in this era don't have any negative understanding of Beiyang, so Beiyang is better than the four towns of Heshuo. Hu Yangeng thanked the two senior officials for this.

This was followed by the specific administration of the feudal domain. In the edict signed by Li Gang, there are specific methods for establishing the administration of the domain:

"It is advisable to place the marshal's mansion along the river along the Huai and along the rivers and roads, and ask the county and the county envoy to take the governor of the capital to supervise the law of the town, allow him to act cheaply, and set up his subordinates to accompany the army. In a few years, there will be a lot of it. The marshal of the county and the secondary county are in charge of the army with horses and horses to pacify, and the county is under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses, and the secondary county is the commander of the soldiers and horses, all of which are military ministers. Its military and horse affairs are set up and subordinates, and the soldiers are all equal in accordance with the law of the commanders. ”

Li Gang did not leave it alone after the establishment of the domain, but set up different levels of state and county military attachés within the feudal town, thinking that the size of the system was proportionate.

Zhang Chengbo has been in the river for so long, and he knows which people under Huyan Geng's command are important and which people have made contributions. He first summoned Zhang Chengyan, Qiu Muling Zhonglian, Lulu Gu Leping, Puliu Ru Bosheng and other four pacification envoys, as well as Wu Ge and Yao Youzhong, two pacification envoys who had just arrived in Hejian, and asked them to "listen to the call for pacification and moderation."

Then he appointed Yang Kefa, Lu Zhishen and other regiments as the commanders of the states.

Judging from Zhang Chengbo's arrangement, he had the intention to split Hu Yangeng's troops into various states and counties, and Hu Yangeng only had the right to command. In order to resolve the Huyan Geng feudal domain.

Hu Yangeng remained silent, and when Zhang Chengbo announced that it was over, he led the generals to thank him. A wine banquet was held that night, and everyone was drunk, and on the surface, the establishment of the feudal domain was happily completed.

Hu Yangeng returned to the back hall and fell asleep with a sense of wine.

He suddenly saw Zhu Fenglian's hair scattered, his warm face became hideous, and he shouted at Hu Yangeng: "The traitor party let the emperor abdicate, and you agreed, just a big president is better than the covenant of the Qilin Pavilion." ”

Hu Yangeng wore a double-breasted military uniform with a large brimmed hat, sat in a large hall, and an intelligence officer reported to him: not only Yue Fei revolted in Wuchang, Shanghai, a man named Yuchen seized the Shanghai Machinery Bureau, and proclaimed himself the military governor of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Jiangbei; Anqing, a man named Chen Ke, pacified Huaixi and beheaded Yan Wushu; Zhao Guanhou, the Shandong transport envoy, led more than 40 people on behalf of the "envoy group" and left the imperial court by power......

Power! Beiyang! How could there be electricity in the Song Dynasty? A spirit, Hu Yangeng woke up. It was still dark outside the window, but Hu Yangeng couldn't sleep at all, his heart was empty.

He still remembers the episode of the dream vividly, and it seems that the word "Beiyang" stimulated his memory, and he made this dream under the influence of alcohol.

He is already a feudal town, and he can be said to have achieved his small goal of being a warlord. So, will he follow the path of Beiyang and become a big warlord? And then take advantage of the situation to seize the throne?

A voice in my head said: Yes, yes. And now there is neither the West nor the foreign countries, nor the more progressive forces, and you can sit on the throne in peace.

Another voice said: Why did you cross over, didn't you cross over to Yan'an because of worship and want to fight with the people you admire? How can you become a warlord now?

I traveled to Yan'an because of admiration, but it was an accident when I came to the Song Dynasty, and since it was an accident, I naturally had to compensate myself.

What about the soldiers who died by your side starting from Taiyuan? Is their death also to compensate you? Is it also the price for the people to fill the ravines?

Hu Yangeng felt that his mind was very messy, and he crept up so as not to wake up Zhang Chan beside him. He practiced a set of marksmanship in the yard, sweated all over, felt a little cooler, and was not so stuffy.

When he was practicing martial arts, Dai Juan also heard the sound and got up, boiled a pot of hot water, and asked Hu Yangeng, who had finished practicing martial arts, to scrub it.

Hu Yangeng looked at Dai Juan, and suddenly realized that if you add Gao Lu and Zheyue Lan, who have not yet arrived, he already has six wives and concubines. It's nothing for a warlord, but it's for someone who wants to change the world and move society forward......

Now, before the elimination of the gold thief, there is no contradiction between being a warlord and promoting social progress. Hu Yangeng came to the lobby with this conclusion.

It's still early now, and Hu Yangeng is gathering generals to appease the Yamen, and now the Beiyang Pacification Yamen. Hu Yangeng said: "The time of a stick of incense, who can't see it." ”

As a result, the incense had just been burned halfway, and some of the generals were in good spirits, and some were drunk and hazy, but they were all there. Zhang Yantang also arrived.

Seeing that the people present were all old subordinates who had followed him for a long time, Hu Yangeng didn't talk nonsense: "The official positions such as the pacification envoy, the governor, and the capital supervisor announced yesterday, everyone will take the imperial court's money, this is what we have earned through hard fighting, and it should be given to us by the imperial court, don't be embarrassed to take it, and don't feel that you owe the imperial court anything." ”

Hu Yangeng's words changed: "But under my Hu Yan Geng's rule, how should everyone do things, or how to do things, do you understand?" ”

Since everyone rushed to the yamen with only half a pillar of incense, how could they not understand.

Speaking of this clearly, Hu Yangeng said to Zhang Yancheng: "Send a letter to Zhao Bozhen and ask him to mention Zhang Chengyan, don't let Zhang Chengyan become a pacification envoy, I don't know who the chief official is." ”

Zhang Yancheng received the order, and Hu Yangeng began to arrange the training tasks of each regiment. Mainly, the lieutenant general of the Beiwei Army released a group of officers and sharp soldiers to serve as the backbone of each regiment, and the meritorious personnel in each regiment were transferred to the Beiwei Army to receive a new layer of training.

Hu Yangeng was talking, and suddenly the guards came to report: "Wu Fang envoy and Yao Fang envoy are also here." ”

Hu Yangeng didn't have any ill feelings towards Wu Ge and Yao Youzhong, but he was wary of Zhang Chengbo's obvious behavior of sifting sand, and he didn't call these two nominal subordinates today, so the two of them came by themselves.

He saw that the matter was almost over, so he asked the generals to disband, and went to the study to meet Wu Ge and Yao Youzhong.

"The two elder brothers are ashamed of the younger brother." Hu Yangeng bluntly showed his respect for the two of them.

Wu Ge and Yao Youzhong naturally politely said that Hu Yangeng deserved his name, and they were willing to obey Hu Yangeng's dispatch.

Hu Yangeng said: "The two elder brothers are both defense envoys, the elder brother you town Weibo, and the elder brother you town Chengde, just borrowing the town to be here with the younger brother." ”

Wu Ge hurriedly said: "Zhang Youcheng has already ordered the two of me to belong to his command, if he really treats me as a brother, don't say that." ”

Hu Yangeng looked at Yao Youzhong, and Yao Youzhong didn't say anything.

Hu Yangeng said: "The younger brother has some foolish opinions, please ask the two brothers for details." The two elder brothers, Wei Bo and Cheng De, are both big feudal towns since the Tang Dynasty, and the younger brother does not dare to send them beyond the system, but now Wei Bo (Daimyo) and Chengde (Zhending) are occupied by the Jin soldiers, and the two brothers are at ease to stay here for the time being. The subordinates of the two elder brothers, after the inspection, the younger brother must ask Zhang Zhuan to give the grain and grass in full. ”

Yao Youzhong showed a satisfied look, Wu Ge wanted to say something, Hu Yangeng stopped him: "In the future, I will have to rely on the two elder brothers to fight with the gold thief." Our brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold. ”

The three of them said a few more polite words, and Hu Yangeng sent them off.

At this time, Hu Yangeng brought Zhang Yanju and Zheyuelan again and began to arrange civil affairs work. No matter how Zhang Chengbo sifted the sand, as long as he caught the civil affairs of Hebei East Road, he couldn't move himself.

Since the feudal domain has been established, there is a sentence in the edict of the imperial court: "When the imperial court raises troops, the deputy governor is the commander, and the deputy governor is the commander, and the deputy governor governs the capital, and each uses the soldiers to obey its control." The official is willing to do it, listen to the transfer, make a deputy member, and a member of the army stay on the road, mention the prison, and suppress the thieves on the road. "The Transit Envoy officially became a subordinate officer of the Pacification Envoy.

Hu Yangeng was determined to establish a wartime system on the East Hebei Road, including Pinglu. As a pacification envoy, he mainly focused on the military, and Zhang Yanju, as the first civil official of his subordinates, was in charge of civil affairs. Based on Luan Pavilion, Zheyuelan unified the various organizations of the Shinong Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The new Baojia is organizationally under the management of Zheyuelan, and in the county, yi, and capital administration, it is also an agency under the Transshipment Department.

"The title of Ruishi is also under your control." Hu Yan Geng said to the folded Yuelan.

"Then you've handed over all the pro-army to me." Orizuki Lan half-joked.

"If I don't give it to you, who can I give it to?" After Hu Yangeng said this, Zhiyue Lan was stunned, and Zhang Yancheng coughed, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.
