Li Xin, the core of the Southwest Group, decided to seize the power of the court, and the three giants within the Southwest Group were very happy to do this. Therefore, the things arranged by Li Xin were quickly implemented. Not only dozens of middle-level generals of the Southwest Army were placed in the local area as officials, but also several senior generals were placed in various commanders.

These senior generals go to the local area, not just to gain authority. What they mainly need to do is to win over local power and promote some local generals and officials.

After all, it is difficult for officials who have been airborne by the imperial court to quickly grasp power. If they are not capable enough, they will be undermined by local local tyrants. However, when people are promoted from local ranks, it is easy to quickly grasp local power.

With a multi-pronged approach, the actual situation of the Southwest Army began to spread rapidly from the capital to the local area.

Of course, this kind of spread is not endless. After all, even the original Jin court or even the Wu Emperor's court at its peak cannot fully control the local area. It has not been able to do it in previous dynasties and can only maintain a clever balance with local forces.

Li Xin and others want to do the work of the Ministry of Finance, so that the Southwest Army forces can truly influence the local area and even control some local power. In this case, most local forces will see the situation clearly. If there are royal vassals of the Ji family in the local area who want to rebel, and without waiting for the Southwest Army to take action, these local forces can easily kill these rebellions in the bud.

These are all internal hidden dangers that may arise when the "world's surname changes" are truly the case in the future.

In addition to these internal hidden dangers, the Jin Dynasty also had some external hidden dangers that needed to be dealt with, such as...the Yuwen tribes in the north.

To be honest, there are He Song and the Yunzhou army stationed in the northern border. Today, the Yuwen tribes have no way to pose any threat to the Great Jin Dynasty, but not now, which does not mean that there will be no in the future.

If Li Xin left the Xianbei tribe in the north, when the dynasty changes, there will inevitably be a period of turmoil within the Jin Dynasty. At this time, the Xianbei tribe will most likely take advantage of the situation and cause chaos in Jiangbei again.

At this time, the one who spoke the most among the Xianbei tribe was no longer Yuwen Zhao, but Yuwen Tao of the Helan tribe. It was Yuwen Tao, who was held by Li Xin in one hand, who took the Yunzhou army back to Beijing a few days ago and led the other two tribes to harass the border of the Jin Dynasty, which made Li Xin quite annoyed at one time.

In terms of public and private affairs, he must wipe out the hidden dangers in Jiangbei.

This is a very difficult thing. The difficulty lies in how strong these Xianbei tribes are. The difficulty lies in the fact that these nomadic peoples have no place to live.

The Central Plains dynasty can defeat them again and again, but as long as they flee to the north, the Central Plains dynasty's army generally has no way of doing them. Under such a tug-of-war, these nomadic peoples can be defeated dozens or even hundreds of times, and can still retreat to the north to calmly recover their vitality. Once they wait until the Central Plains dynasty is weak, they only need a big victory to hit or even destroy the Central Plains dynasty, and even enter the pass.

Although Li Xin made a firearm, this thing can only change the combat power on paper, or strengthen the defense power of Jimen Pass and Yunzhou City. There is no bonus for "movement speed". In other words, even if the Xianbei tribe is not an opponent of the court, they can still fight if they want and escape if they want.

In the few months after Li Xin returned to Beijing from Ningling, in addition to setting up the staff of local generals, he devoted himself to how to deal with the Xianbei tribe.

In the past few months, although Ye Mao, who was brought back from Ningling by Li Xin, did not recover greatly, he only rested in Duke Chen's mansion for a few days before entering the Shenji Camp and began to systematically learn the usage of these new firearms.

A few months later, he had already learned about the firearms of Shenji Camp and the principles of these firearms.

It was already July, and it was the hottest time in the capital.

Ye Mao, who was wearing only a sweat shirt, was watching the birth of a firearm in the firearm prison secretly established by the court.

His face was covered in black and gray, and it was obvious that it was not just watching from the side. Most of the structures of this firearm were beaten by Duke Chen himself with a hammer.

Ye Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and looked at the firearm in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.

A craftsman from a firearm prison walked over with a step, came to Ye Mao, and said with a smile: "Big man, someone is looking for you outside."

Ye Mao stayed in Shenji Camp for two months before he was arranged by Li Xin to the Firearms Prison for making firearms. Whether it was the soldiers of Shenji Camp or the craftsmen in the Firearms Prison, they rarely knew the true identity of this big man.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mao looked at the firearm he had made reluctantly, nodded and said, "I understand."

He took off his sweatshirt that was already soaked on his body, then wiped the sweat from his face with his sweatshirt, changed into a single dress, and walked out.

Outside the firearm surveillance gate, a black carriage was waiting for Ye Mao under the shade of the tree.

Ye Guogong recognized the carriage, hurriedly walked over, bent over and got into the carriage, and then smiled at the people in the carriage, saying, "I'll just send me a letter if I have something to do. Why did you come here to see me in person?"

Li Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Ye Mao quietly and said helplessly: "In the past three months, you have rushed into the Shenji Camp and the Firearms Prison, but there will be no one. People from Duke Chen's mansion often come to my mansion to look for me and ask where their Duke's mansion has been hidden."

Ye Mao scratched his head embarrassedly: "I left them a message saying that I'm going to do business, why are you still so noisy..."

Li Xin shook his head and asked Ye Mao: "It's been more than three months, how have you learned?"

Ye Mao said with a smile: "I naturally have to figure out what is going on with this kind of murderous thing. Don't worry, uncle. Although I am not very smart, I have already figured out the firearms for 70% to 80%."

Li Xin nodded and his face calmed down.

"I received the news that the Xianbei tribe in the north..."

"There is civil strife."

Li Xin said slowly: "Last year Yuwentao ate us hard on the border and stole a lot of property and population. After returning, the Horan tribe began to seek trouble for Yuwen Zhao. After several months, the two sides had deep grudges. According to the news from our north, the two sides had almost started to take action."

Governor Li took a deep breath and continued: "These nomadic peoples are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if they defeat them, they will not be able to destroy them. They will make a comeback in more than ten or twenty years, and almost all of these people have horses. If they want to escape, the court will not be able to catch up with them."

“This time is an opportunity.”

Governor Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Yuwen's Ministry is coaxing, it will be our chance to take action. I will take you a thousand soldiers of Shenji Camp and let them go north with you. He Sheng will take all the imperial guards at Jimen Pass to your command."

"I don't ask you to pacify the Xianbei barbarians in the north."

Li Xin looked up at Ye Mao, his voice cold.
