Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Hongxuan arranged for the Jinyi guards to have a good rest.

Offer good wine, delicious food and one thousand taels of gold.

The royal guard who delivered the imperial edict naturally accepted it with a smile.

This time, the commander-in-chief Deng Daomu bowed respectfully to Hongxuan and said respectfully:

"I will now gather all the troops in Yuzhou and wait for the King of Zhenbei's command."

"Well! Go and make arrangements for the military affairs now! You didn't obey my orders before. Ignorance is not a crime, but now you are my subordinate. If you don't obey my orders, you will be punished by military law."

Commander Deng Daomu said respectfully: "I obey your order!"

Of course, the current commander-in-chief dared not disobey the orders of King Zhenbei anymore.

He immediately took his subordinates to concentrate all the military forces in Yuzhou.

"Qilin One!"

"I am here!" Kirin Four responded.

"Gather all the skilled craftsmen in Yuzhou. All 100 of you, get moving."

"I want all the skilled craftsmen in Weizhou to gather together. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qilin Yi responded respectfully: "I will bring all the skilled craftsmen in Yuzhou to your Highness!"

Hongxuan nodded with satisfaction.

Hongxuan said to Qilin Four:

"The Royal Guards are setting up camp outside Yuzhou City. Inform the princess to bring her family members into the city for resettlement. Meanwhile, you, Qilin Four, must keep an eye on that group of bandits!"

"Yes! Your Highness, I will do it right away." Qilin Si responded respectfully.

Hongxuan, sitting high in the main seat, continued to issue orders.

"Qilin Ten! You must count all the grain in Yuzhou City, especially the grain in the homes of the beheaded Governor Song and the thirty officials. All of it must be confiscated."

Qilin Ten took the order respectfully and left.

"Qilin Ba, take your team and count all the gold and silver treasures in Yuzhou City. You must count all of these treasures clearly. These treasures will belong to our Zhenbei Palace."

"Qilin Eight will definitely complete the mission and live up to its mission!"

Qilin Ba knew that this operation was the first important mission created by King Zhenbei to create Qilin Ba, so Qilin Ba understood that this operation must be completed perfectly.

Food and money are always the main themes of the army.

"Qilin II listen to my orders!"

"Qilin Er obeys!" He knelt on one knee and respectfully accepted the order.

"Your team's mission is very important. Listen carefully. Count the fertile land that can be cultivated in Yuzhou. I want the exact number."

Qilin 2 said with some doubt:

"Your Majesty! What should we do with the farmland of wealthy merchants and dignitaries?"

"Yuzhou has been annexed by this king! The land and fertile fields here are all under my management. I am only in charge of these farmlands, but the people are the ones who actually use them."

What is farmland management? No one knows it better than Hongxuan.

What does not need to be done is to distribute the farmland he has counted to every farmer who cultivates the land.

Maximize their enthusiasm.

Hongxuan no longer used Dafeng's official system because it was not only bloated but also extremely inefficient.

Not only that, there are also many bloated departments, unnecessary departments, and officials who are just drawing salaries without doing any work.

"Qilin Nine Listens to Orders"

Qilin Jiu knelt on one knee.

"Go to the Yuzhou Armory to count the weapons."

"Your Majesty!"

Hongxuan thought about it again and felt that there was nothing he had missed.

What we need now is high efficiency.

Through his own way, he started from the four aspects of money, food, farmland and weapons, and let Qilin Yi organize this army and become a skilled general.

That’s because he didn’t know what attitude the Northern Border Guards he would face would have towards him in the future.

I have heard before that the two most powerful generals stationed in the northern border are General Jianwei Cao Zhu and General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu.

Both of them are relatives of the Imperial Noble Consort, one is the father and the other is the brother.

There is no need to say much about the relationship between himself and the Imperial Noble Consort.

Even if Hongxuan wanted to reconcile, Imperial Noble Consort Cao probably herself would not feel at ease, and the Second Prince Hongxiong personally ordered the palace maid to poison the original owner to death.

Although he was resurrected, the feud would never end.

Therefore, before Hongxuan goes to the northern border, he must have enough strength. Along the way, Hongxuan has been thinking about how to solve the problem in the worst case scenario.

What is the worst question.

The only way for Hongxiong to garrison in the northern border is to seize the military power. As the saying goes, one man is no match for two tigers. This time, Hongxiong wants to be the master of the northern border and take back all the military power.

Will the two generals with the surname Cao hand over their military power?

of course not.

If not, then the worst will happen.

Hongxuan sat in the main seat, knocking on the wooden handle with his right hand.

"From the beginning to the end, the emperor did not issue an imperial decree to ask General Jianwei Cao Zhu and General Dingguo Cao Wenxiu to hand over their military power."

"My father's behavior couldn't be more obvious. These two generals with the surname Cao are also a hurdle for me, the King of Zhenbei, to hold the military power!"

Murong Yan and Murong Jing came to the Provincial History Department.

Both of them were in a good mood now. Their husband, the Prince of Zhenbei, had executed dozens of officials in Yuzhou City at Caishikou, but the emperor did not blame the Prince of Zhenbei.

This illustrates two points.

The first is that Emperor Dingwen values ​​his son, the Prince of Zhenbei, more than they imagined.

The second reason is that Emperor Dingwen knew that apart from the King of Zhenbei, who guarded the northern border, there was no one else to resist the northern cavalry.

Of course, I will not blame you for the corrupt officials.

What's more, the strength of King Zhenbei along the way has been recognized by Emperor Dingwen.

"Yan'er! Qin'er! How about we place these women and children in Yuzhou?"

Murong Yan shook her head and said:

"Your Highness, the Zhenbei Palace in Beiyan also needs people. Moreover, in this chaotic time, it is very unsafe for these women to stay in Yuzhou City. They are all poor people. Your Highness should take them back to the Zhenbei Palace in the northern border!"

These thoughts were said by the female relatives and conveyed to King Zhenbei. In their hearts, only where King Zhenbei was was a truly safe place.

"Since they have such an idea, let's set out in a few days to the Northern Yan's Zhenbei Palace!"

"Husband! Yan'er wants to ask a question."

"Since my husband has obtained the land of Yuzhou, how should he use this land?" Murong Yan asked curiously.

"Yuzhou is very useful! I will build this place into a land of abundance with a strong grain production. Yuzhou has fertile land and is most suitable for growing wheat and rice. With this land, the bitter cold of Northern Yan will be nothing."

Murong Qin said curiously:

"Did my husband plan to kill Yuzhou Governor Song on the way?"

Hong Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled:

"Yes! The people who were displaced and starved along the way were just the fuse."

"It was Governor Song's actions that gave me the knife and the excuse. I have been thinking about whether to bring him under my command, but he is the highest official in Yuzhou after all. He cannot completely obey me. The best outcome is to kill him."

"For this king, if he wants to gain a foothold in Northern Yan and guard the northern border, Yuzhou is the most important strategic location."

Hongxiong knew very well that without the supply of granaries in Yuzhou, how could the cold and bitter land of Northern Yan support a large-scale military force?

Have they always relied on the imperial court to allocate food?

If that's the case, how should the number of Zhenbei King's troops develop?
