On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 389
After Zilai Huer's Northern Expeditionary Army collapsed without a fight, the imperial court was no longer able to interfere in the situation in Hebei in a short period of time.

After Bei, Mao, Ming, Wei, Xin, Xiang, and Wei Qizhou were seized by Cui Che one after another, the Zhao family of Zhaojun, one of the five surnames and seven clans, was the first to respond to Cui Che, citing Zhaozhou, Luanzhou (Kaihuang 16 In the year of Zhaozhou, it was set up, and Pingji County) came to descend.

Cui Che used Gai Wenda and Gai Wenyi as the governors of Zhaozhou and Luanzhou respectively.

And when Wang Dangwan captured Mingzhou, Xingzhou, who chose to sit on the wall and watch, also joined the state.

And it's like falling dominoes.

The remaining Guanzhou (established in the ninth year of Kaihuang, governing Dongguang County, now Dongguang County, Hebei), Bozhou (established in the 16th year of Kaihuang, governing Liaocheng County, now Liaocheng, Shandong), Dezhou (established in the ninth year of Kaihuang, governing Ande County, today’s Shandong Ling County), Lianzhou (established in Zhaozhou in the 16th year of Kaihuang, governing Gaocheng County, now Gaocheng, Hebei), Jingzhou (established in the 16th year of Kaihuang, governing Changlu County, now in Cangzhou, Hebei) . ), Yanzhou (established in the 16th year of Kaihuang, governing Linlu County, now Linzhou, Henan) and other places came and descended one after another.

Since then, the 52 prefectures of Hebei Road in a broad sense, except for the prefectures in Hedong under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou General Manager, the remaining You, Yan, Ping, Xuan, Yi, Heng, Ding, Ji, Ying, Ying, Bei, Mao, Ming, Wei, Xin, Xiang, Wei, Zhao, Luan, Guan, Bo, De, Lian, Cang, Jing, Di, Yan and other places all belong to Cui Che's command.

At the same time, Cui Che controlled the seven prefectures of Qing, Mi, Ju, Lai, Qi, Ji, and Zi south of the Yellow River, and his power was even stronger than that of the Yuchi clan back then.

The key point is that Cui Che came from a famous family in Hebei, and he has worked hard for many years. He was born in Guan Long Xungui, and he has only been in Hebei for one year. The support he can receive is not the same.

After Cui Che collected Yanzhou, he was only more than [-] miles away from Luoyang.

It's just that he swallowed the entire Hebei region and most of the Qilu land in a short period of time, and he is destined to focus on digesting these regions and bury his head in reorganizing troops from all over the place.

Even the two states of Cao and Yi, which were close at hand, were left alone for the time being, and Lai Huer was allowed to linger in Caozhou.

In the fourth year of Renshou, on November 13th, Cui Che completed the reorganization of [-] cavalry in Qidi in Yecheng, and promoted a large number of generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, and ordered Cui Qiji, who was summoned from Liaodong, to Command one hundred thousand steps and ride southward, guarding Qidi.

With [-] infantry left behind, all of them were elite soldiers, Cui Che moved their families to the north and settled them around Xiangzhou.

He also ordered Cui Yanqing, the third son who had stayed in Youzhou, to go to Liaodong to replace his elder brother, accompanied by the general Wang Dangwan, and lead the [-] defenders in Liaodong to guard against Goguryeo.

Ever since Fang Xuanling organized the family members of the soldiers of the Yan Army to move southward and arrived in Xiangzhou with them, the political and military center of Cui Che's camp had been transferred to Yecheng.

The status of Yandi has plummeted. Now that Zhang Wu is staying behind, and the governors of the six states are all confidantes, there is no need to send his own son to sit in the town.

In comparison, Liaodong is not as important as Qingzhou, Qi and other places, which is why Cui Che recalled Cui Qiji instead of directly asking Cui Yanqing to change to Qingzhou and other places.

At least Cui Qiji, as the eldest son, has already proved his ability to Cui Che.

Under the auspices of Fang Xuanling, the work of relocating part of the population to Yandi is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Due to the large number of people in southern Hebei and the lack of land, such as Jizhou, the per capita grant of land is less than [-] mu, which is far less than the [-] mu of land stipulated in the equal land system. Cui Che promised to exempt them from tax for one year, but there are still many People are willing to go.

At the same time, Cui Che also dispatched the [-] frontier troops who stayed in Yandi to go south, and handed over all the defense of Yandi to the newly moved soldiers.

Now Qimin Khan and Dulan Khan are fighting fiercely in Monan. Kumoxi and Qidan are Cui Che's two vicious dogs. They may have selfish intentions, but they can also restrain each other. This is why Cui Che can boldly switch defenses .

And Cui Che's reorganization of Hebei soldiers also divided them into two parts, one part was soldiers.

Cui Che selected strong and strong men, and got 5000 soldiers. Together with his 20 Yandi cavalry, [-] Boling cavalry, [-] Khitan cavalry, and the [-] Qidi cavalry left in Hebei, they joined forces. Formed the [-] soldiers who guard Xiangzhou.

The rich land of Hebei and the salt in Qingzhou are enough for Cui Che to support this 20 full-time soldiers and provide them with military salaries.

The remaining Hebei government soldiers were released to the people, at most they were conscripted to defend the city during wartime.

Salt fields in Qingzhou and other places have reopened, but unlike in the past, today’s salt workers don’t have to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They only need to work in the salt fields for four hours a day, and three meals a day will also be served. Supply on time and according to quality, and receive a salary every month.

Cui Che's arrangement also made the salt workers obediently return to the saltworks and continue to create wealth for the new ruler.

Cui Qiji returned to Yidu County where he was born and commanded [-] cavalry. It sounded majestic, but these were eliminated after his father selected [-] cavalry.

10 people guard the land of the seven states. Specifically, each state has an average of more than 1 people. It is really stretched in terms of military strength. How can it compare to Cui Che who has gathered 20 elite infantry in various places around Xiangzhou.

Of course, Cui Qiji also knew that this was the main force of his father's future expedition to the Quartet, and they were placed around Xiangzhou for better deployment of troops.

Princess Nanyang's pregnant belly is becoming more and more obvious, but the intention with Cui Qiji has not been eased. Cui Qiji has not slept with Princess Nanyang for a long time. On the one hand, he is afraid of hurting the other party's body; People do stupid things.

If she hadn't been pregnant, Cui Qiji really wanted to divorce his wife and remarry.

Just as Cui Che's rule in Hebei was gradually on the right track, a news came from Daxing that Jin Wang Yang Zhao was established as the crown prince, and he reunited with the previously retired Jin Princess Cui Shi, and Yang Guangli Cui Shi For the princess.

Cui Che was well aware of this, and Yang Guang did not know whose plan he was planning to split the Boling Cui family internally.

But this move was futile, at least until Cui Che showed obvious signs of decline, the clan would still stand by his side.

However, the bad news came quickly. Han Wang Yang Liang, who occupied Puzhou before and entered the pass through Puban, met Yang Su in Shayuan. call for help.

After Yang Su repelled Yang Liang, he didn't stop there. He led the army eastward and was about to counterattack Hedong.
