    When Li Mi emerged in Henan, Huang Mingyuan also began his journey in Hebei.

    In May of the eleventh year of Daye, Youzhou received a great harvest.  From Linyuguan to Feihu Trail, from Juyongguan to Tianjin Port, everyone is happy to hear about the harvest.  The public and private warehouses are all abundant; there are endless streams of cars and horses; men are plowing mulberry trees and women are enjoying themselves.  A scene of prosperity and harmony.

    For ordinary people, a good harvest is the last word.  The faces of the people in Youzhou are filled with the enthusiasm of happiness, and they sincerely love Huang Mingyuan for allowing them to live such a stable and peaceful life.  As for the Lu family that they feared in the past, they have long forgotten it.

    ??And through this great harvest, it proved the achievability of Huang Mingyuan's New Deal, and also solidified the foundation and status of the New Deal.  As for the Lu family as a sacrifice for the New Deal, no one mentioned it anymore.

    So in June, in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere inside, Huang Mingyuan prepared to go south to quell the chaos.

    In fact, the situation in Hebei now is much better than that in history. The most brutal people in Hebei, Zhang Jincheng, Liu Badao and others, have all been annihilated by Huang Mingyuan.

    Although these turmoils are claimed to be peasant uprisings and justice for heaven, in fact most of them are not peasants and have no sense of justice.  It is true that most of the participants were people who were forced to live by Yang Guang's tyranny, but after these people rebelled, they became the ruling class, even more brutal than Yang Guang.  In the twelfth year of the great cause in history, the giant bandit Zhang Jincheng conquered Ping'en County (now Qiu County, Hebei Province) and massacred more than 10,000 civilians and men in the city, leaving no survivors among the people he passed through.

    This is no longer a rebellion, but a psychological abnormality. Therefore, Huang Mingyuan has no mercy at all for these bandits and must punish them as much as possible.

    At this time, the bandits in Hebei, after several years of fighting, have merged with each other many times, and only a dozen groups are left.  Among them, there are not many that can be called separatist forces.

    Banditry in Hebei originated from the Bohai Sea and Qinghe River, and was most prevalent in the counties and counties on the north bank of the Yellow River.  This is the main source of labor for the construction of Yongji Canal.

    A group of big bandits who can become powerful include Gao Shida and Dou Jiande who are entrenched in Bohai County; Li Gongyi, Hao Xiaode, Du Yanbing, and Wang Run are entrenched in Pingyuan County and Qinghe County; Wang Deren is entrenched in Wei County; and are entrenched in the northern part of Boling County.  Wang Ziying; Wei Daoer who was entrenched in the south of Boling County; Zhao Wanhai who was entrenched in the north of Hejian County; Cui Songbai who was entrenched in Hengshan County; Li Wenxian who was entrenched in Ji County.

    The focus of this bandit suppression is on the bandits in Boling, Hengshan, Hejian and Bohai counties near the southern border of Youzhou.

    At this time, the number of soldiers in Youzhou is approximately 200,000.

    Including the Zuowu Guards, the Youtun Guards, the Longxiang, Huwei, Yingyang, and Baotao armies, the Youzhou garrison, the Huaiyi Army, the Zhaoyi Army, the Baoyi Army, the Shunyi Army, and the Xuanyi Army.

    The Zuowu Guards and the Right Tun Guards each have 30,000 troops, and they are both the main ace forces under Huang Mingyuan.

    The four armies of Longxiang, Huwei, Yingyang, and Baotao were respectively expanded from the original 20,000 troops to 25,000 troops each, and they were also the main force in the fight against thieves.

    After rescuing Yanmen in the west and Potiele in the north, Huang Mingyuan incorporated the original Seventh Battalion of Zhentun into each army.

    The source of troops for the Zhentun Army comes from the surrender of troops from various ethnic groups in Liaodong.  These people had similar looks and habits to the sons of the Han family. They were the first to surrender to the Sui army, and had a high degree of naturalization and loyalty.

    This time, Huang Mingyuan classified all his troops into various Sui armies, and even some elites were included in the Zuowu Guards.

    The camps in Zhentun were not subordinate to each other, and no one took the lead in opposing this matter.  In fact, for these people, being able to be upright Sui people is something they have always dreamed of. Today, they have achieved their wish, and everyone is cheering and celebrating.

    So this army of more than 10,000 people was integrated into the Sui army through organized dismantling and reorganization.

    As for the Huaiyi Army, Zhaoyi Army, Baoyi Army, Shunyi Army, and Xuanyi Army, they are all composed of naturalized soldiers from various ethnic groups.

    The Huaiyi Army and Zhaoyi Army are old armies. They suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Tiele people, and their total strength has dropped to about 30,000.

    As for the Baoyi Army, it is the army of the Xi people who have been naturalized.  After Zhang Wenyuan took them back to Liaodong, Huang Mingyuan recruited them into the Sui army and awarded them titles. There were 7,000 people in his army.

    The Xuanyi Army is under Tudi Ji.  This time Huang Mingyuan directly organized his troops into households in Youzhou, and then divided them into counties, and his soldiers were included in the Sui army.

    Although Tudiji has lost its autonomy, it is already a world of difference from the old family in Limoshui.  Tu Diji himself did not dare to object, so he had to let Huang Mingyuan be included.  There are nearly 4,000 people in his department.

    As for the Shunyi army, they were the Tiele people who surrendered in the battle of Xuanhua.??

    Huang Mingyuan didn't bother to care about the betrayal of these people. As long as they rebelled in front of the battle, their lives would be spared and they would be dealt with according to the methods of the Jiangsu Agricultural Department and the Zhihu Department.

    These people come from complex sources and are divided into seven or eight tribes, with nearly 12,000 people.

    Under Huang Mingyuan's command, there were more than 40,000 Hu troops in the establishment, and many of them were scattered among the various armies.  Overall, it's more than one-third.

    Huang Mingyuan did not dare to increase the number of Hu people, fearing that it would affect the composition of the army.

    In fact, Huang Mingyuan still has more than 100,000 captured Hu people who are working as coolies in various places. These Hu people can become troops at any time.

    This time when going south, in addition to sending all the main force, Huang Mingyuan also went in person.

    Huang Mingyuan went south, bringing only the general shogunate with him, while Xingtai stayed in Youzhou temporarily.  But it is only temporary. When Huang Mingyuan pacifies Hebei, this line of troops will still have to go south.  In fact, both the General Shogunate and Hebei Daoxingtai served Huang Mingyuan alone.

    Of course, as the army moves south, the base of Youzhou cannot relax its guard.

    After Huang Mingyuan took full control of the military and political power in the five counties of Youzhou, in addition to eliminating officials and sorting out the administrative organization and system, the most important thing was to control the army.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered Zhang Jixun to reorganize the armies of various counties. The garrisons in Anle, Yuyang, Beiping, Shanggu, and Xuanhua, plus the troops in Zhuo County, totaled more than 45,000 people. Huang Mingyuan handed them over to Chen Yuan for control.

    The six counties of Youzhou are backed by Yanshan Fortress and supported by Liaodong. Although it is not as stable as Mount Tai, no one can sneak attack here.

    This time we went south to suppress the bandits, and we attacked in separate ways.

    Huang Mingyuan personally commanded the Eastern Route Army, Zuowuwei and Longxiang armies, as well as Huaiyi and Zhaoyi armies, and directly attacked Gao Shida and Dou Jiande in Bohai County.  Among the thieves in Hebei, only Dou Jiande can accomplish anything, so Huang Mingyuan naturally has to deal with it personally.

    The West Route Army, commanded by Li Jing and Huang Mingpu, led the Ying Yang, Bao Tao and Xuanyi armies, and attacked Boling and Hengshan counties from Shanggu County.

    The middle route army, commanded by Zhang Wenyuan, led the Youtun Guards, Baoyi Army, and Shunyi, and went south from Sanguan to attack Zhao Wanhai and other bandits in the northern part of Hejian County.

    The three armies came out together, pointing their swords at Hebei.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
