The four borders are called Tianfu, and the three rivers are built in Luodu. The flying clouds and mists are covered with darkness, and the sun is bright in the south corner.

The immortal phoenix alone was shocked by the censors. Why did you refuse to defend the Huns from ten thousand miles?

"city"

Li Jiao〔Tang Dynasty〕

——I am the dividing line—

Starting from Chang'an, passing through Xinfeng and Weinan County, which belongs to Jingji Province, you will arrive in Xiabi County, Huazhou (now Zheng County, Shaanxi). There are almost countless famous places and historical sites along the way since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. For this reason, Zhou Huaian also made a special trip to climb to the mound of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum when passing by Mount Li to worship with high tribute.

At the same time, this area is also the essence of the 800-mile Qinchuan. Therefore, since ancient times, rivers and canals have been spread all over the country, and the plains and fertile fields have been continuous. Therefore, after more than a year of continuous immigration and restoration, rest and construction and repair, those deserted and abandoned villages have been restored to the curling crowds. Therefore, even in the winter of the slaughter, we can see the scattered people who have begun to engage in and work in the wild.

However, after Zhou Huaian's team arrived in Huayin, Zhoucheng, they did not continue to enter Tongguan east. Instead, after reviewing and summoning local military and civil representatives, they turned north and crossed the Luoshui River and entered Chaoyi County. Then, from Pujin Pass Pujin Bridge in Chaoyi, they passed the Yellow River Ancient Road that had begun to thaw and open the river, and then arrived at the boundary of Puzhou (now near Yongji, Shanxi) where Hezhong Prefecture is located.

Zhou Huaian met with the chief clerks from Hezhong and Hedong who rushed over to report work, Sima and Changshi, as well as the military-controlled areas and guards and guards of the military-controlled areas affiliated to the Hedong aftermath ambassador. Then he continued to go east to Jie County (now near Yuncheng, Shanxi) on the northern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, and inspected and inspected the many salt pond productions taken over locally and the chemical plants under construction.

Then, he went south along Zhongtiao Mountain and crossed Mengjinkou and entered the Tongguan Road on the south bank of the Yellow River as the division of Huazhou and Guozhou. Here, Zhou Huaian also "made" a poem by Zhang Yanghao on the spot as he wished, and left behind the famous line that has been passed down through the ages in advance: "The people suffer; the people suffer; the people suffer." The monument was recorded.

By the way, I turned to the other road where the forbidden pit was located and took a look. I also left a stone tablet commemorating the advance of the rebel army westward and overthrew the old dynasty. Then I followed the Hangu Road, which was cut down by the Yellow River in all dynasties and changed the terrain, and passed through the township of Guozhou (now Lingbao City, Henan) in the territory of Hedong Road (now Sanmenxia City), and arrived in Shaanxi Province (now Sanmenxia City), which belonged to Duji Road in Henan Province.

Then, along the Taolin, Shanxian and Kushi counties on the bank of the Yellow River in Shanzhou, all the way east, you will reach Mianchi County at the foot of Xionger Mountain, which is located on the shore of the valley water. It is also the location of Shuangqiao Pass, one of the eight gate keys in the Heluo Basin, which has historically been called Shuangqiao Pass; and here also means that you have entered the boundary of Henan Prefecture, the heart of Duji Province, Henan Province.

Compared with the previous fertile rivers and fertile rivers, Guannei Road, rugged mountains and narrow walls, the scenery along the way here shows a completely different side. It looks like a lot of hills and rivers, as well as continuous river valleys and small plains. Although there are also endless people in the villages and towns on both sides of the official road, the scars and scars left by war and famine are more obvious than other places.

In the several cities such as Choumen, Xin'an, Hengshui, etc., the spirit of the scholars and the people was obviously more than the experiences in the inner road of Guan. It seems that because of the locust plague and war fires earlier last year, there were also yellow-faced and thin-skinned and worn-out clothes among the crowds greeted by the trench, and their mental state was mostly fatigue, fatigue, and even numbness;

This state of depression and depression among the people along the way continued until they were about to reach the foot of Feishan Mountain, where they were about to arrive at Luodu, and then they slowly began to improve. This was because as they approached Luoyang City, more and more and more densely appeared in the local area, and the Yingtiansou and Tunzhuang, which were built by Taiping Army's people's settlement and immigrants' households, were built and managed;

The residents of these places gathered spontaneously, regardless of gender, age, and waited at various intersections with a cow and wine. They only wanted Zhou Huaian to express a few words of encouragement to them, and they were particularly satisfied. Therefore, in the last short twenty or thirty miles of arrival in Luoyang, it took two days to walk and stop and stop with comfort.

Of course, before officially entering the eastern capital Luoyang, there is actually a lot of preparations to be done; and Zhou Huaian also looked at the first-hand information on Henan Road again and again along the way, and was constantly receiving the latest reports from various channels. In this way, after entering Luoyang City, he could enter the state and carry out effective governance and operation as soon as possible.

For example, as one of the results of the Taiping Army's preliminary work in Duji Province, the household registration inspection and re-entry of nine counties in the Henan Prefecture of Dongdu have been completed. A total of 270,000 households were found, about 930,000 (minor children and elderly people are not counted), and one-third of them are concentrated in Luoyang City, but more than 100,000 more than before the change of flags and the accident occurred.

Of course, the main reason is that before and after handing over the territory, Zhu Laosan searched a large number of original households and households, as well as the officials of the old dynasty, and released a large number of private servants and re-checked out many hidden people, and persuaded refugees who fled into the mountains to avoid disaster, attacked the mountain sheds where Yiluo mountains gathered, and bandits formed camps.

Therefore, in addition to the two prefectures of Duji Province (Henan) Prefecture (Ru, Zheng), Henan Province has taken over the six prefectures, mainly Hua, Bian, Cao, Chen, Xu, Yin, Cai and Ying in the west; the parts of the six prefectures and counties that are located in the central and northern parts are Pu, Yun, Ji, Song, Bo and Suzhou in the central and northern parts;

In addition, there are areas where military control and nominally limited subordinate areas are carried out as newly occupied areas, mainly from the three prefectures of Yan, Qi and Zibo in Yanhai Town, the Gutaining Army in the east; and Qingzhou, which had just been captured from Qingzi Town, Pinglu Army in Qinglu Army.

There are also four prefectures under the jurisdiction of Qingzi Town of Pinglu Army; the Xusi Town of Wuning Army, including the two prefectures of Si and Hai, in addition to the besieged Xuzhou Pengcheng, there are large areas; because the Taiping Army has no time to take care of these places, it is temporarily in a state of laissez-faire without a leader, fend for itself or doing its own thing.

Therefore, Zhou Huaian's visit to Luodu this time was not only to declare his ruling power over the Central Plains, but also to express his emphasis on Kanto from a strategic direction, and to solve the many problems of the aftermath and ruling order structure after Henan's pacification. After all, this is the most densely populated hinterland of the Central Plains since ancient times, and the problems and situations accumulated over the years are far more complicated than those in other places.

To this end, the Grand Governor's Office has prepared about 3,300 students from various major training centers, 2,100 soldiers from the villages and 1,600 "Three Detachments" officers from all over the country. They have joined the brigade of the Eastern Tour to enter Henan. They are waiting for the old families in these places, households, officials, clerks and other old ranks to take over and operate in batches on the spot to maintain their work.

At this time, after Zhang Juyan left the Tianping Army, Zhang Guiba, who was the left-behind deputy, left the city in advance to report on his daily work and the construction of Dongdu and the repair progress, also brought some unexpected news to Zhou Huaian.

You should know that as a place in Henan that was rich and abundant in the past, the "Huai Shang Thief", one of the four major sufferings that it suffered, has been uprooted by Zhu Laosan and others with the destruction of the Caizhou thief, the leader of Qin Zongquan, and is now recruiting residents from other places to replace the land. At the same time, the water conservancy canal was built to cut off the historical roots of the chaos of Huai River. In this way, the "Huang and Huai River flood" that was the second most painful will also be alleviated.

As the third suffering, because of frustration in the court or failure in the party struggle, he was forced to be demoted, retired, retired, and retired in Duji Province, and resigned from local affairs. He even made the wealthy Henan hinterland a severely affected area by Luosuo and the poverty-stricken areas, and his relatives and vassals who had been deeply troubled for generations, and he almost disappeared from the wars and purges.

Therefore, what remains is the fourth suffering brought about by the large number of "fairy vassal states". As a place in Zhongzhou where the world is rich in population, ten vassal states were established at its peak, accounting for almost one-tenth of the forty-four vassal states in the world during the Yuanhe period. These vassal states have accumulated a large number of armed soldiers who are not engaged in production due to various reasons and needs, and plundered and attacked and killed the outside world, and levitated and levitated and levitated internally to maintain it.

The result was that the huge hinterland of the Central Plains was almost in the past few years and there were few unwarranted wars. The people of the common people fell into dire straits, but were forced to support a large group of warriors who were increasingly greedy and insatiable. It was extremely miserable. Although in recent years, with the annexation between the vassal states and the rise of the Taiping Army, most of the vassal states were gradually transformed and eliminated.

But there are also problems with many domestic military households under the vassal state system. Although two of the three towns in Huai Shang have been pacified, the remaining Wuning Army is also trapped in the lonely city; however, the generals and military households left behind in the corresponding three towns account for a considerable proportion of the local population.

Originally, according to the system and tradition of the Taiping Army, there was basically no origin of the old-style army in the military sequence of the New Dynasty; the best result was that after the initial screening, trial and accountability, all the remaining ordinary soldiers were moved to other places to be dispersed, or they went to the border areas to join the Jiansheng Army and armed garrisons.

However, there was a small episode in the process. Among them, Liu Zhijun, a general from Xuzhou, secretly went to Zhu Cun's camp alone and made a suggestion, or a condition, in the besieged city. It was said that these old military and military households belonging to Xuzhou had lived in the military camp for generations since the Pang Xun Rebellion, so they had no other skills except for fighting formation attack and killing.

Therefore, he hopes to continue to work hard and work for the Xin Dynasty after surrendering, rather than sending a foreign land to farm for a living. In exchange, he can not only say that the Taiping Army had not yet had time to use troops to surrender, but even the Wuning Army soldiers guarding Pengcheng, Xuzhou could find ways to divide and disintegrate.

However, as the commander of the Taiping Army, Zhu Cun, as the chief general, did not dare to be alone, so he did not hesitate to use the courier with a quick horse to forward the corresponding request to Zhou Huaian who was moving. However, Zhou Huaian only thought and weighed the pros and cons, and then ordered to the left and right:

"If it can effectively reduce unnecessary casualties in our army, the general conditions can be considered..."

"I don't want to go back to my hometown to farm, and I can't work hard in the army, but I can't maintain the original system. I will break up and send it to Hebei to join Cao Xiang's Tianping Army and Zhuge Shuang's Heyang Army..."

"It doesn't matter if the war in Hebei is over in the future. They can go to the outside world to fight, go to Silla, Bohai, and Japan. It is still a great place to do what is possible..."

"This is feasible and is enough to be a successful example. In the future, this kind of reference can be added to the army belonging to the old dynasty..."

After all, in Zhou Huaian's plan, once the Jiaodong Peninsula controlled by the Pinglu Army settled, it can use this as a springboard to advance the Liaodong Peninsula between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and then connect it with Silla, which is being guided by the strategy from land and sea. Then, after gaining a foothold in the coastal area of ​​Silla, the Silla coastal ports can be used as a transit support to launch a cross-sea conquest of the Fuso Islands.

In the extension of the front line in Jiaodong-Liaodong-Silla-Water, many additional military forces and follow-up soldiers are also needed; and in the current situation where the main force of the Taiping Army still needs to continue to sweep and stabilize the country, the world-class soldiers and military households under the background of the surrender of Henan Road happened to catch up with the real good times and get a great opportunity.

These surrendered soldiers and prisoners with the imprint and habits of the old army may be a disaster and hidden danger in Central Turkey, but there is no problem in the expansion of overseas countries; because compared with the advanced culture and radiation advantages of the upstream civilization represented by the Tang Dynasty in this era, the surrounding areas are almost all moral and cultural and educational low-lying areas with low human rights advantages.
