Compared with the undercurrent but still generally calm on the surface, a long-distance army in the north of Hedong Road also appeared in a mighty manner near Yanmen County.

Looking at the defenders who were at a loss on the top of the city, but were busy opening the city gates; Zhu Xieyi Sheng, who was wearing a crow feather felt helmet and a burrow, had already become ragged in the dust, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared to the wind blowing the clouds when the army broke out from the east of the river, it took only seven or eight days to drive straight down the pass, this journey of going back from the upper reaches of the Jing River made their defeated army walk for more than half a month.

After losing most of the baggage, carriages and horses along the way around the mountains in Weibei, exhausted and injured many mounts and pack horses, the only Shatuo Army that returned in a system finally arrived in Fuzhou, which was still under the control of the official army.

Then he set out again from here, and along the way he carried a few left-behind officials and grain warehousings; he passed through Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, and Shengzhou; and recruited many cattle, horses and tyrants from the local semi-cultivation and semi-pardoned Dangxiang troops.

Then they turned to the mountains east of Shengzhou, and passed through the narrow and rugged Langu Road during the period, and returned to Shuozhou (now Shuo County, Shanxi) where the three tribes of Shatuo were recuperating. Here, they once again sounded the oxen horn to summon the left-behind tribes...

Therefore, when the Shatuo army under Zhu Xieyisheng led troops to the southeast and passed through the Loufan Pass established on the former site of the Han Great Wall, it had already restored its original view of 18,000 cavalry, and even half of the tribes of various tribes led their cows and horses to follow them.

Next, this mixed team under the banner of "Daibeixingying Commander", "Hedong Jiedushi", "Yanbei Jiedushi" and other various banners; it still drove straight into the mountains of Daibei without any obstacles, leaning on the barriers of Dongjing Pass, Shiling Pass, and Chitang Pass.

Under the banner of Daibeixingying and Hedong Jieya, the few military cities and Dayi such as Chunxian, Dingxiang, Tanglin, Xiurong, etc., wherever they pass along the way, almost all the guardians went downstairs or left the city.

Until the pioneer light cavalry crossed and looted Baijing Town, a small number of scholars and people fled because of their slackness and underestimation. In the north of Xiaotianmen Pass near Yangqu City, they were blocked by the guards who were on guard against the front line.

However, at this time, this Shatuo army that swept across Yi and expanded many times in the states again. It was already flat and unobstructed by the surface, inner and inner abdomen of Hedong - where Taiyuan Prefecture is located, was separated by a mere two feet high by Guancheng.

Although the defenders seemed to have a firm resistance, most of the people who had arrived here also had no reason or sign of being stuck.

As the saying goes, "The sky and the sky are flying in August", the end of midsummer in the pass has just ended, but the world of high and fat autumn on the grassland is already half-ripe, and the whistling sound of winter coming is about to be heard.

Therefore, whether it is the Uighurs, Dangxiang people from the border, the Shatu people who lived in the land of Daibei during the time, or the Huihun people in the Datong Valley; after losing a large number of Ding Zhuang and livestock and horses who can control strings in the pass, it is difficult to face this winter day approaching the golden mountains.

In other words, even if the remaining tribes survive this unknown winter, they will also face many covetous and challengers from the grassland who want to re-divide the power structure;

Even former allies like Tatars will become the most brutal enemy under the power of power. Because in the survival philosophy of grasslands, weakness is the greatest original sin and sorrow.

Therefore, just like the main reason that Zhu Xieyi Sheng impressed them besides the coercion and inducement of force. Enter the pass and go to the Tang land. Only by entering the pass can you find a way out for everyone in the relatively warm and rich hinterland of Hedong.

——I am the dividing line of time—

And at a tea party for free for business in Xiangzhou City.

As one of the left-behind government officials, the Chief Minister of Civil Affairs, Fan Chuo, the Chief Military Consultant Yang Shigu, the Director of Mission Luo Yin, and others, the Supervisor and Liusizan Jiqiu, and the Cangcao Zuo Sect Lu Guimeng and Lu Guimeng and other civilian officials.

While they were tasting the last batch of evening tea collected in the mountains of southern Zhejiang this year, they each had subtle expressions circulating a latest sample of the approval sent from the front.

Because, just before Zhou Huaian was about to return from Guanzhong, the "Supplementary Regulations on the Taiping Examination Law" was promulgated. It was announced that as of now, any official who had served in the old dynasty from the seventh rank or above and his immediate relatives within three generations would no longer be described in principle.

"After all I have come to this point..."

In the end, Fan Chuo broke the silence and said with a wry smile:

"Is the Grand Governor completely cutting off the root of those rich families?"

The editor-in-chief of the Bureau of Literature and History and the supervisor Pi Rixiu also said with mixed feelings: He could imagine how much storm and noise it would cause after the issuance of the "Supplementary Ordinance". You should know that since the Taiping Army showed its momentum to sweep the southeast half, many of the former rich families have come in hiding their names.

"It should be thankful that we have caught up with a good opportunity, right?"

Another deputy commander of the Governor's Office, Liu Xun, also the deputy envoy of the field, seemed to be brisk and smiled: As one of the few old ancestral officials in the Grand Governor's Office, he did not mind cutting off the potential advances of the same kind in the past; or in other words, he would like to apply the merits of the Dragon as early as possible, of course, he hoped to imitate the fewer potential backward advances, the better.

"At least I won't chase the past, right? For those scholars and students who took the initiative to follow our army, the Governor's Office has not cut off their future and has not denyed their contributions, right?"

The supervisor and the secretary, Zuanzan, remembered Qiu Huan, was half admiring and half admonishing, and said to Pi Rixiu with a hint of words:

"As for those later generations, hasn't the Governor's Office given them the opportunity to contribute and serve? What were they doing at that time? They were just waiting and watching..."

"It is precisely this reason. How many of the people who have seen the benefits of the Governor's office firmly in the southeast and have taken the initiative to come and serve, agree with the Governor's principles and propositions, rather than pursuing the glory, wealth, fame and fortune of the new dynasty."

The oldest Cangcao Zuo judge Lu Guimeng also slowly spoke and agreed:

"I want to say that the Grand Commander's move is at the right time and is in line with the will of heaven and man."

"In my opinion, if we do not choose any other way, we will be the greatest injustice and arrogance to the many knowledgeable people who are now serving under the governor's office but who have defected to you early."

Qiu Huan also nodded and replied:

Pi Rixiu was shocked, wouldn’t this be used as an opportunity to draw a line; to separate and oppose the person who had previously been applied and then speculate, and to make a faint disguised disguise. The so-called superiors’ unscrupulous plot and thoughts are nothing more than this. If he expressed his wrong feelings... Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but bow to Qiu Huan gratefully and said:

"Thank you for guidance, I've been taught..."

"Yang Shouzhi, but there is something I can teach me..."

However, Pi Rixiu turned to the chief military consultant who always smiled but didn't say anything, and said truly:

"I dare not take it, but I just think that this is mainly because the Grand Governor wants to express an attitude. The Grand Governor's Office has completely separated from the past of the previous dynasty and started a new foundation;"

As Yang Shigu, who was somewhat involved in the formulation of the regulations, looked at Luo Yin and took the opportunity to see them out.

"At least under the current system of the Governor's office, the organizational structure and talent training stages are no longer necessary to use these old things, and to decorate the appearance of the only exaggerated appearance like Daqi. This is where the situation of the reform and reform of the Dingxing period is."

Luo Yin also nodded and added:

"Of course, the Grand Governor's Office is not completely discarding the objects that can be saved. The special cases in the final affiliated provisions are still to be discussed."

Yang Shigu continued:

"It is mainly that a very small number of professional talents specially approved by the Grand Governor's Office, have made significant contributions in the corresponding fields, or have achieved corresponding outstanding results in the past; and have been approved by the group/committee of the heads of various departments, they can still make an exception to be selected."

What the implication is also an open conspiracy method to facilitate the differentiation and dismantling of traditional forces and to squeeze out their last surplus value. Therefore, this personnel supplementary regulations are not a one-size-fits-all approach, but at least leave a corresponding hole.
