Guangxi is destined to spend ten years in the smoke of beacon fire.

In the first half of the year, Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, sent a four-way army to attack Chengdu from the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and forcibly exhausted the last strength of the Sima family's resistance, and then easily captured Chengdu, which had been operated by the Sima family for ten years, and since then has included the vast Yizhou into his own ruling area.

Perhaps tired of playing Tai Chi with the imperial court, King Pingxi, who always appeared in the public eye with a humble attitude in the past, directly ignored the imperial court's order to appoint Liu Yan as the pastor of Yizhou, but sent a group of officials from the Jin State to take over the internal affairs of Yizhou, and appointed Zhang Ji (the word Derong) as the pastor of Yizhou, appointed Gan Ning as the commander of the Yizhou army, and appointed Lu Xun as the military division of Yizhou, completely controlling the military and political power in the Yizhou area.

Zhang Ji was originally the Taishou of Anding County, the largest county in Liangguo, and over the years, the development and construction of Anding gradually had a posture of keeping up with Shangdang County in the Jin Kingdom, which is enough to prove this person's talent. At that time, Zhang was tied back to the party by Hou Cheng and Hua Weiguo, but since he joined Zhao Xing, he has been doing his own work conscientiously, never participating in other miscellaneous affairs, showing good official ethics and cultivation, and is deeply supported by the people of the county.

After Yizhou was captured, many civil and military forces in Zhao Xing's sphere of influence speculated about who the king of Pingxi would appoint to govern Yizhou this time. Everyone knows the importance of the position of Yizhou pastor, not to mention that the area of Yizhou is more than three times larger than other states, just the intricate ethnic minorities in Yizhou and the long-term hostile resistance of the people of Yizhou to the Jin State and the Liang State have made the position of Yizhou Mu a little hot.

Among the civil officials under Zhao Xing, those with outstanding abilities were basically reused, such as Guoyuan and Liang Xi, who now went to the northeast to serve as the state pastor of Changzhou and Yuzhou, respectively, Cui Yan served as the state pastor of Yanzhou (the Korean Peninsula), and Zhuge Jin held the position of Liaozhou pastor. Although there are a few others who have not been appointed for the time being, it is estimated that after all the states in the world fall under the rule of King Pingxi, everyone will go to take office one after another, and they will never be too guarded for the rest of their lives.

After receiving the letter of appointment signed by Zhao Xing himself, Zhang Ji did not pretentiously say that he was incapable and was afraid that he would not be qualified for such an important position as the state pastor, nor did he pat his chest and say that as long as he went out on his own, he would be able to make Yizhou how well it was governed. After handing over the seal letter and other items to the new Taishou who came to take over, he immediately went to Yizhou to take up his post under the escort of a team of personal soldiers.

Zhang Ji understands in his heart that Yizhou is now a time when people's hearts are unstable and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and the sooner he takes office, the easier it will be to quickly open up the situation.

In order to support Zhang Ji, Zhao Xing deliberately transferred Yang Fu, the Taishou of Hanzhong, to Yizhou, and Jiang Xu, who had made meritorious contributions to the defense of Xiangyang, to Yizhou, as Zhang Ji's other drivers and engaged in them, respectively, and let these two people assist Zhang Ji in governing internal affairs and maintaining public order.

According to Zhao Xing's meaning, all officials above the county order level in Yizhou must be replaced, and those with outstanding ability among the officials at all levels in Yizhou can be transferred to the Jin State for training and assessment first, and if they are indeed competent in the internal politics of the Jin State model, they will be transferred to the four northeastern states for reappointment, in short, officials are not allowed to serve as local officials. As for those who are vegetarian and have low ability, they will be directly dismissed on the spot and will not be hired in the future.

Nowadays, the training system of grassroots officials in the Jin State is becoming more and more mature, and many officials below the county order level have received complete and systematic training, and they will be the focus of Zhao Xing's training and appointment in the future.

Just as Zhang Ji analyzed, Yizhou has just experienced a war and chaos, and the common people in various places are stable, and the local wealthy families and the original old officials are even more trembling and dare not make a move, and it is a powerful opportunity to quickly control the situation. Taking advantage of the fact that the armies of all walks of life in Yizhou have not yet left for the Central Plains, it is just with the help of the deterrent power of the troops that the appointment and arrangement of officials at all levels have been determined. After a period of time, these officials have gained the trust of the local people and gained a firm foothold, even if the Vanguard Army, the Qinghuai Army, and the Marine Brigade withdraw from Yizhou, the entire Yizhou will be stabilized, and there is no need to worry about any chaos.

Of course, if there really is a foreign-blooded tribe that doesn't have long eyes and wants to make trouble, the new commander of the Yizhou Legion, Gan Ning, is not a vegetarian. Although the new corps commander only has the Tianyi Army and the tens of thousands of Yizhou troops that have no number for the time being, with the name he made in Yizhou in the early years, it is not easy to clean up these rebel tribes!

After the capture of Yizhou, the two temporary titles of the North Route Army and the South Route Army have been revoked. Zhang He's identity was reverted to the commander of the Liangzhou Army, with 60,000 vanguard troops, 20,000 blue wolf troops, and 30,000 Xiliang troops; Tai Shici's identity was reverted to the rank of commander of the Jin State Naval Division, with 40,000 sailors and 50,000 marines under his command.

The original Marine Brigade only had 20,000 troops, but this time Zhao Xing waved his pen and included the 30,000 Qinghuai Army led by Guan Ping into the Marine Brigade, and then renamed the Marine Brigade of the Marine Division, with Guan Ping serving as the commander. Wang Lu, the former commander of the Marine Brigade, had to leave the front-line battlefield due to serious tendon damage, and is now appointed as the director of the training department of the Crouching Tiger Command (equivalent to the rank of army commander).

Today, the garrison in Yizhou is mainly 60,000 vanguard troops, 50,000 marines, 30,000 Tianyi troops and 30,000 Yizhou troops. Huang Zhong's 15,000 men had already left Chengdu and headed east, preparing to go directly to Xiangyang to participate in the next battle of Xiangyang. When the attacking South Route Army developed from the initial 50,000 to the peak, it once reached 110,000 people, and after the Battle of Yuxian, it lost more than 20,000. Tai Shici selected 5,000 soldiers from the Jiaozhi soldiers and added them to the Marine Brigade and the Qinghuai Army, and gathered 50,000 elite soldiers for the newly formed Marine Corps, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers were all handed over to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning's subordinates are now directly listening to his dispatch of 30,000 Yizhou and Jiaozhi soldiers, and the 30,000 Tianyi army, which has been replenished, is only temporarily stationed in Chengdu, and the main general is still Lu Xun, the main army division.

Gan Ning was very dissatisfied with such a personnel arrangement, but he was dumb and ate yellow lotus, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. At the beginning, in order to persuade Yan Yan's subordinates to surrender in the valley of Nanshan, he claimed in public that he was the commander of the Yizhou army appointed by the king of Pingxi, and afterwards Tai Shici really asked Zhao Xing for Gan Ning to come to this prominent position.

But after Gan Ning really became the commander of this legion, he felt very bored. Seeing that Tai Shici and Zhang He were about to lead the army eastward, but it had nothing to do with him and the Yizhou army, how could Gan Ning, who had always been clamoring for a big battle, be able to deal with it safely?

However, no matter whether Gan Ning was depressed or aggrieved, since he accepted the appointment of the Yizhou Legion, he had to resolutely obey the orders of the Crouching Tiger Command, stay in Yizhou honestly, and assist Zhang Ji to clean up all the unstable elements in the remote areas of Yizhou as soon as possible.

In order to appease Gan Ning's "wounded" heart, Zhao Xing pointed out a new way for Gan Ning, that is, to seize the time to recruit and train troops, and set his sights on the Tang and Qiang tribes west of Qionglai Mountain. Didn't the Sima family want to escape into the Tang Xuanqiang tribe to avoid trouble, it seems that this tribe in the snowy plateau is indeed very powerful, then you Gan Xingba will lead the army to completely conquer it!
