Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 715 Arrangement
The three places of Bozhou, Puzhou and Xingrenfu were pacified very quickly. With four cities, a population of over 100,000, and the surrender of Lu Xian, a ray of dragon energy was brought in.

Although Zhao Zhen was still called King of Liang and his territory was not as large as that of Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty, his country had already become a real empire.

Next, Zhao Zhen no longer planned to invade the world of [Southern Song Zhao Gou], even though he had already known about the changes in the world of [Southern Song Zhao Gou].

After all, the winter in the [Floating Continent] is really too cold.

Being exposed to the wild for a long time and freezing off your fingers, toes, and ears is no joke.

Besides, after more than half a year of fighting, everything needed to be sorted out and stabilized.

Now, in the entire Liang Kingdom, only one place is still at war, that is, Guan Sheng in the north leads [Divine Fire General] Wei Dingguo, [Holy Water General] Shan Tinggui, [Little Overlord] Zhou Tong, Xiahou Cheng, and leads 10,000 troops. And [Desperate Sanlang] Shi Xiu, Zhang Xianzhou, Xing Zheng, Li Fengshan lead 5,000 infantry Guoyi Battalion, fighting against [Dali Xuanren Miaoxiang Kingdom].

Although there were only 15,000 regular soldiers, the eleven tribes of barbarians mobilized 20,000 tribal soldiers.

Of course, although these barbarian tribes still remember which tribe they belonged to, the risk of rebellion has been greatly reduced due to their being split up and the presence of monks from Liang State to preside over the rituals.

The only bad thing is that there are many mountains and rivers here, and the small villages scattered in the mountains cannot be registered one by one.

More than 7,000 soldiers from Qi were captured by Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen had ordered them to be escorted north in batches, intending to send them to Shicheng Prefecture and Dongchuan Prefecture to build roads.

Without supplies, these people dared not run around in these two places. The heat, snakes, insects, and miasma could kill these northern men.

[Miracle Doctor] An Daoquan, with the Imperial Medical Certificate Bai Zhang, and more than 20 snake-wine-bell doctors trained over the years, also went to Shicheng Prefecture and Dongchuan Prefecture.

These bell doctors who carry poisonous snakes with them are surprisingly popular here.

Many people think that these people are descendants of witches.

A large amount of medicinal materials were delivered to the military camp, which prevented a large number of casualties in the army.

Zhao Zhen had some understanding of Dali Kingdom because Dali Kingdom had sent a letter to him. As for the Gao family of Dali Kingdom who wanted to use Liang Kingdom to eliminate the 37 tribes of barbarians who had rebelled many times, Zhao Zhen naturally could not fulfill Gao family's wish.

Shanchan Prefecture is now occupied by the Luomeng, Luojia, Buxiong, Jiazong, Aning and Chongmeng tribes. These six tribes are powerful, with a total of no less than 70,000 to 80,000 tribal soldiers.

Zhao Zhen has issued orders not to actively attack Shanchan Prefecture, but to bring more flying divine thunders and focus on defense.

The army marched south and north, and captured Zuining Prefecture, Xiushan County, Huichuan Prefecture, and Jianchang Prefecture respectively.

Of course, Zhao Zhen was not greedy for these territories.

It is hard to say how much time and effort it will take to completely manage and digest these territories.

The establishment of prefectures and counties naturally requires officials to manage them. If Zhao Zhen had not conquered Fujian and gained many scholars, he would not have known how to govern.

Like Bian Xi, Lu Xian was unwilling to be a military commander after meeting Zhao Zhen. After all, it was easy for a military commander to command his own troops, and even if Zhao Zhen didn't mind, Lu Xian wouldn't dare to do so.

Seeing that the Deer Immortal was only at the second level, Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement and arranged for the Deer Immortal to be a magistrate in Tingzhou, Fujian.

Li Zhe, a Wenlinlang rescued by Li Kui, was arranged to go to Shicheng Prefecture as a magistrate, and Yao Bangji, a Weishi magistrate, stayed in the court as a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice. The soldiers who went to the expedition were also rewarded according to the usual practice.

The most chaotic place was not the newly captured four cities of the Red Coat Army and the White Lotus Army, nor the Shicheng Prefecture and Dongchuan Prefecture occupied by the Dali Kingdom. It was the newly occupied Tongzhou, Taizhou, Gaoyou Army, Chuzhou, Lianshui Army, Haizhou in the East Huainan Road, and Huaiyang Army in the East Jingdong Road in the world of [Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou]. These seventeen counties.

Not to mention the people who had fled from various counties, most of the county officials were also absent from their posts. The mountains, fields and lakes were filled with bandits and pirates, and the powerful gentry controlled the villages.

To this end, Zhao Zhen mobilized troops from Jingji Road to take over the city, suppress bandits, and pacify the area. Many county officials were also transferred from Jingji Road.

First of all, the Huaiyang Army was still under the jurisdiction of Jingji Road, with Zhang Mingke as the military commander, [Red-haired Ghost] Liu Tang as the military commander, and [Angry-faced Ghost] Zhou Jin as the military supervisor.

Hu Yanzhuo, the Double Whip, was transferred to be the General Manager of the East Road of Huainan and concurrently the Commander of the Chuzhou Army. Han Cunbao, the Xihe General, was appointed as the Military Supervisor of Chuzhou. Li Ying, the Putian Eagle, took over as the Commander of the Yizhou Army.

Li Jun, the River Dragon, was transferred to lead the Patrol Camp to station at Gaoyou Lake, with Zhu Xiaoba, the Water Rhino, Yu Gui, the Diving Kun, and Shi Quan, the Golden Carp, as deputy generals. Li Jun also served as the commander of the Gaoyou Army.

[Jinlin Dragon] Zhai Yuan and [Chongbo Dragon] Qiao Zheng led a hundred large and small warships and three thousand naval officers and soldiers to station in Haizhou. [Jinlin Dragon] Zhai Yuan was the commander of the troops.

[White Shark in the Waves] Zhang Shun and Yan Yong commanded a hundred large and small ships and three thousand naval officers and soldiers and stationed them in Tongzhou, with Zhang Shun as the commander of the troops.

The commander of the Taizhou army is Xu Jing, the military commander is Ou Peng, the military commander is Xuan Zan, the military commander of Lianshui.

The army set out to take over the prefectures and counties, while Lu Junyi led his troops back to Fujian Road one by one.

Taking this opportunity, a major adjustment was made to the prefecture army of Liang State. After the adjustment, most prefectures only had one to three people. As the situation changed, the number of soldiers in internal prefectures such as Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou had to be reduced, and even only one military supervisor was appointed to manage them. More soldiers were transferred to the front line and places where the situation was unstable.

Zhao Zhen predicted that there would be no major wars before the beginning of spring. After all, severe cold was winter's biggest enemy.

This year, Liang State will have a much better life. After all, Liang State's fog channel is now open for large-scale transactions, and purchasing fire spirit wheat and fire cotton cloth is Ji Xuan's job these days.

In addition, a large number of red fire beans, fire spirit wheat, fire cotton, and other crops were planted in the spiritual fields of the Liang State. The Liang State had accumulated a lot of such cold-resistant supplies.

In order to adapt to the cold environment, the Military Equipment Bureau also imitated cotton armor on a large scale.

Wearing armor in winter is really unbearable.

Naturally, these cotton armors were allocated first to the military forces of Huainan East Road, Fujian Road, Shicheng Prefecture, and Dongchuan Prefecture.

In winter, cotton armor is the most popular among soldiers, followed by leather armor, paper armor, and finally iron armor. As for rattan armor, it is too hard to wear in winter.

Since its founding, the system of Liang State has been gradually improved, with complete village schools, township schools, county schools, state schools and Imperial College. Now, the talent pool of Liang State has also begun to develop in a healthy direction.

Except for the newly assigned Huaiyang Army and several newly occupied Red Coat Army and White Lotus Army cities, all areas of Jingji Road, from villages to prefectures and counties, have been brought under the control of the imperial court.

It was precisely because the villages were filled with Liang officials and militia instructors that the newly occupied territories could be digested so quickly.

By now, the population and land registration work in Fujian Road had been mostly completed. By the beginning of spring, all places would have adapted to the laws of Liang.
