Three states in northern Saizhou: Heizhou, Jizhou, Liaozhou.

Among them, Heizhou is mostly swampy, rarely inhabited, and is the place where the imperial court exiles the most heinous criminals, and is called the northern death row among the people.

Saibei is an important pass that guards the northern part of Kyoto. As soon as Saibei falls, the whole of Kyoto will be exposed to the scimitars of the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry. Therefore, the imperial court deployed 300,000 troops in Saibei, a family of soldiers and civilians, fighting during the war, and tuntian after the war. The northern Xinjiang where the Dragon and Tiger League is located is also subordinate to the northern part of the country, but the northern Xinjiang is mainly a living area for civilians.

Also because of the particularity of Saibei, only one governor was set up in the entire three prefectures of Saibei, and no generals were set up, so that it was convenient for the imperial court to issue unified orders and carry out military activities.

Unfortunately, when Shi Lei went out hunting in the third year of Taiping, he was careless and was gouged out of his right eye by a tiger. Now that Shi Lei is more than sixty years old, Xiao Shifeng arranged Luzhou City, which he didn't need to worry about the general, just to let him spend his old age in peace.

Duzhou Mansion General He Kun is the local white elephant patriarch. Because it returned to the Taiping Dynasty and was willing to accept the governance of the officials, it was renamed the general of the house, and the status of the actual family in Duzhou remained unchanged.

These generals were all unified military and political existences in the local area, and all the civil ministers and ministers of all sizes were subservient to their official prestige. The imperial court stipulates that if the general wants to manage all local affairs, he has the right to rule and report, but the death penalty of the wicked must also be approved by the general.

Xiao Shifeng established the post of general of the government, not only to seal merit, but also to better manage the new dynasty that was in ruins. Facts have proved that the Taiping Dynasty gradually became rich and strong under this military and political system, and moved towards a long-standing prosperous era, and the establishment of the general was completely conducive to the control of the imperial court.

And in the past 20 years, except for the corruption incidents in Tibet and Huizhou, the generals of various prefectures have been quite loyal to their duties, which Xiao Shifeng is very satisfied with. This fully proves that he has the name of knowing and employing people.

The government and the people enjoy the prosperity together, which is also Xiao Shifeng's original intention.
