?Although Zhao Xing has actually occupied most of Jizhou and controlled half of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, it is not justified enough in terms of the surface.

As a kingdom enfeoffed by the Han Empire, Jin State had no right to appoint any officials outside its country. In the past, when appointing officials from Youzhou and Liang State, Zhao Xing used the guise of the Liang Palace and Youzhou Palace to carry out the work. Although he was only covered with a legal coat, it was better than wearing nothing naked and wearing nothing.

The scholars of the Han Dynasty seemed to care very much whether a force was wearing a nominal coat, even if this force actually had a "space" under the coat and was secretly doing things.

Therefore, the Youzhou Governor is still nominally Gongsun Zan, although he has arrived in Jizhou and started working according to some of the powers of the prefecture governor; the Jizhou Governor is still Yuan Shao, although he has been detained by Jin State in Wohu Zhonglieyuan and has to sweep the tomb for three hundred years; the Qingzhou Governor is still Kong Rong; the Xuzhou Governor is still Tao Qian.

Kong Rong had clearly told Zhao Xing that he did not want to do a job of a high-risk job in the prefecture-master, and wanted to go to Taihang Academy to be a companion with Zhang Jian, Cai Yong and others. Zhao Xing clearly expressed his understanding and support for Kong Rong's request, but asked Kong Rong to endure it for a while. After he forced the court to reappoint a prefecture-master according to the Jin Dynasty, he would take Kong Rong's family to the north to Wohu City.

Zhao Xing appointed Qingzhou herdsman candidate as Zao Zhi, the president of Wohu Agricultural Sciences. The starting point of this arrangement is that the production and development level of the four industries of agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and minerals in Qingzhou is relatively low, and a knowledgeable state pastor is needed to develop and utilize it, effectively increase the agricultural, animal husbandry, fishery and mineral production in Qingzhou, and provide strong logistical support to the Qingzhou Legion on the spot.

Tao Qian did not express his intention to step down for the time being, but Zhao Xing was not in a hurry at all. According to Zhao Xing's memory, Tao Qian, who was already old, probably would have to voluntarily submit his resignation shortly after a long time as his body aging. The successor Zhao Xing arranged for Tao Qian was Guoyuan, who had been the prefect in several northern counties for more than ten years. He had good abilities and was full of energy. He was a good age to do his career and was more suitable for serving as the position of Xuzhou Mu.

In fact, whether it is the governor of Qingzhou or Xuzhou, when they are in a period of military confrontation, as long as they do not have military power, they can only carry out internal affairs steadily. Other ideas are purely redundant, and there is no other benefit except to bring disaster to themselves.

At present, in Jizhou, the military deployment of Qingxu land is basically in a stage of confrontation. Except for Zhang Liao and Li Tiezhu who were preparing to eat Ji Ling's unit sent by Yuan Shu, other military operations have been completed. For Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, their current priority is to defend their existing territory and promote the formation of the Donglai Army and the Qinghua Army as soon as possible, and at the same time ensure that the Flying Tiger Army in Xuzhou and half of the Dragon Cavalry Generals in Qingzhou are successfully replaced.

The military operations that Zhao Xing is focusing on now are mainly in the northwest and northeast directions. The reason why he is so eager to take over the Western Regions and the Northeast is mainly due to his desire for population and resources.

The population can directly affect the market, labor and military forces and other aspects. Now the desire for market and labor in Jin State has increased unprecedentedly, and nearly 400,000 troops are barely enough. The next step may be to expand the army.

Based on the total population of 12 million that Zhao Xing actually controlled, it is equivalent to 1 to 30 troops with a total of 400,000 troops. Although the proportion is not very high, the cost of the Jin army is already famous, so the burden on the people is still not light. If the people under their rule are full, warm and able to support a large number of troops, it is necessary for the Jin State to continue to expand outward, continuously occupy the market, increase the people's production enthusiasm, increase the agricultural output and the manufacturing quantity of handmade commodities.

The first thing to solve in the northwest direction is the Qiang people who have been harming each other for a long time. If this problem cannot be completely cured, then there will never be peace on the road to Liangzhou to the Western Regions, which will greatly hinder the development of Liang Kingdom and trade to the west, and reopen the Silk Road.

Once the Qiang people's problem is successfully resolved, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu will lead their troops to a long expedition, rushing west along the Silk Road in the past to the thousands of miles westward. Without much logistics supply, they will use the means of fighting to support the war and relocate the vast territory of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion under the Han people's governance.

After taking over the Western Regions Chief Mansion, it would take some time to occupy and govern the territory of five or six states to completely digest the territory of such a large area. At that time, the merchants of Jin could use the Western Regions Chief Mansion as a bridgehead for trading westwards, and go to countries even westwards such as the Dayue Kingdom and the Kushan Kingdom to do business, earning huge amounts of wealth and profits for Jin.

In the northeast direction, the first thing to be solved is naturally the Gongsun Du family, which has been entrenched in Liaodong for a long time. Although Gongsun Du himself is not famous, he actually controls the territory of more than two states. Now he has not only 60,000 elite infantry and cavalry, but also about 20,000 naval troops.

With the help of Shanhaiguan's steep obstacles, and the severe cold in the northeast region after winter, even Cao Cao, who had fought to Wuhuan, sighed and never had the courage to actually send troops to attack in his life. It was not easy for Zhao Xing to take over the Gongsun Du family and truly seize the Northeast territory with a large area of ​​black soil.

As for taking over the Northeast, Zhao Xing naturally would not be satisfied. His goal was to occupy the Korean Peninsula throughout the territory, annex and merge the natives of Fuyu and Louyi in the Northeast, and finally use the leapfrog tactic to directly land on the four islands of Japan, and divide the vast northeastern territory into his own sphere of influence.

It is not easy to attack the Korean Peninsula, and landing on the four islands of Japan cannot be successful overnight. In later generations, the prosperous Sui Dynasty was in a prosperous and prosperous state because Emperor Yang of Sui was determined to conquer Goryeo three times, which led to the people's misfortune and eventually destroyed. The Tang Empire, in its heyday, suffered great losses in the hands of the Goryeo people several times; only Genghis Khan's descendants once occupied the Korean Peninsula, but crossed the Tsuma Strait several times to attack the Japanese islands without success.

Before a new war between the east and west sides is about to be launched, what Jin State urgently needs to do now is to ask the court for an explanation.

What is the saying? That is, the court did not inform Jin of any situation beforehand and launched a salt ban campaign, which not only caused huge losses to Jin, but also killed many merchants from Jin. Although nearly a year has passed, how could the court just pretended to be silent and then just turned it over?

What's more, Zhang Fei, a member of the Northern Army stationed in Hedong, sent people to secretly attack Guyuan, an important town in Jin State, resulting in a large number of casualties between military and civilians. No matter how you look at this account, it's time to pay it back!

Of course, if you want the court to give Jin an explanation and do something in real life, I am afraid that even if Zhao Xing says hell, it will be useless.

Therefore, the Crouching Tiger Army, which had been withstood for nearly half a year, finally planned to do something to Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Hedong...~ Please come to "
