The first day of the exam was over, and the candidates who entered the examination room the next day had obvious different expressions from the first day.

This time the examination focuses on the case-breaking and accounts, but has become the identification of various grains. Today is a difficult day for those who are not diligent in studying without distinction.

On the third day, half of the candidates who came to take the exam were missing. Today was the last day, and there was only one question:

Suppose you are the county magistrate of Dangshan County and the heavy rain caused floods, write an article to explain how to manage it.

The answer to the questions in May Enke this time is clear and the work of marking the papers is much simpler. Soon the results of various places were reported. Now the official vacancy is serious. In the north, an official is often doing the work of the whole county. There are still many counties that have not taken office so far and are in a state of military custody. The land of China is in ruins...

It was only June that the candidates who passed the imperial examination were summoned by the local government for the final assignment.

The Ministry of Personnel started working all night long. In this hot June, the officials in Jinling sweated more than every year before.

Early in the morning, Hou Xuanyan wrote in his study, and was being constructed everywhere, and there were many problems caused. Especially the Chahar grassland, which separated Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, completely aroused hatred from the Qing Dynasty, and sent troops to attack several times.

Xia Wanchun was stationed on the grassland and built a simple city. The amount of money spent was not comparable to simple wars. Fortunately, the Shanxi merchants were well-off and many traitors were captured. Although Xia Wanchun could see the tension there in his letter, he was still full of confidence from the lines.

Wen Ze Feng Shan, and Wu Ze opened up the territory and expanded the territory. This was the highest pursuit of ancient kings. The name Chahar was not suitable for integration into China. Hou Xuanyan frowned and said loudly: "Go and invite the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Right and Right."

After a while, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the palace in groups. The Minister of Rites Wang Fuzhi asked, "Prince, what's the matter for calling us?"

Hou Xuanyan finished writing the last word, raised his head and said, "Chahar is a vast area, no less than the major provinces in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. However, this name is too Hufeng. How can you return to your heart in the future? You are all very talented and well-educated people, let's name it together!"

The officials present had been working days and nights, and the weather was so hot that they were all depressed. When they heard this, they immediately became energetic.

To name a province, it will inevitably leave a mark in history in the future. If you think of one and it is adopted, it will not only show your face now, but it will be a good reputation for generations.

"It is better to call it 'Dingbei' Province than to stabilize the north!"

Hou Xuanyan shook his head: "It's quite straightforward, not elegant enough, and cannot reflect the style of our Central Plains etiquette country and the vast Chinese."

"I advise you to have a glass of wine, and you will have no friends when you go west to Yangguan. The north is cold, so it is better to call it 'Beiliang'."

Hou Xuanyan frowned and said, "It's good, I always feel that it's over..."

"The grasslands are all plains. When you advance, there is no one in the wilderness, and it is difficult to achieve the size of your size; when you retreat, there is no danger to take over, and the horses and soldiers are as flat as barbaric. Such a place is better called the "Liancheng" province."

Shake your head...

"Northern Shaanxi!"

Shake your head...

"Northern Shanxi?"

Shake your head...

The next day, more officials came, and half of the officials from the court came, and everyone wanted this opportunity to leave their names in history.

Finally, after several considerations, Hou Xuanyan selected the "Jingbei" mentioned by a small official of the Ministry of Personnel as the name of the new province. It was initially divided into four prefectures, from south to north: Suizhou Prefecture, Yunzhou Prefecture, Jinzhou Prefecture, and Liaozhou Prefecture.

In Jingbei, taking the thirteen provinces in the south as an example, the establishment of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education.

In order to encourage Han people to move north, anyone who voluntarily goes to Jingbei Province can obtain a lot of land. As long as people of all kinds of people on the grassland are involved in the people, disarmed and enjoy the same treatment, all taxes are exempted within three years, and they can also be protected by the Northern Expedition Army stationed here, without worrying about being abused by other tribes again. In this way, some small tribes rushed to join, and many of the people of the hostile large tribes sneaked into Jingbei Province to make their homes.

Governor Xia Wanchun of Jin Jing issued an announcement at the Yunzhou Prefecture, Xinbei, the trusted military and civilians of Jingbei, that anyone who crossed the border and injured the military and civilians of Jingbei would be defeated.

The leaders of all the Mongolian tribes felt fear. In the past, no matter how powerful the Han empire in the Central Plains was, they did not mean to completely occupy the grassland. But now these people's actions were obviously to gradually erode the entire grassland and incorporate the entire grassland into their territory. They wanted to resist, but the situation was stronger than the people. The lesson of Chahar's extermination was right in front of them.

The original intention was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and to eat the bitter fruits of their own. Their contact channels with other Mongolians were completely blocked.

Forbidden City, in Kunning Palace.

"Haha, we finally have our own horse-raising place! Tell Xia Wanchun that we must defend these waves of life-threatening attacks and let the Tartars accept their fate." Hou Xuanyan said with a big laugh. He hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Since she rode on Hou Xuanyan's back and "watched the battle" once, Lingyao has almost been enlightened. She is now surrounded by him diligently. She knew the importance of horses, so she deliberately asked in order to provoke Hou Xuanyan's speech: "What's the good thing about horses? There are so many horses in the Mongolians, can't they still beat us?"

With a crisp sound, the spiritual medicine got what he wanted, covering his little butt and his eyes were as charming as silk. Looking at his master's energetic appearance, the little slave in the bed was so happy that he was hundreds of times more happy than he was in the limelight.

"Without horses, we were on the grassland, so we could only follow them and be fooled."

Before the birth of fuel vehicles, horses mean mobility, and the number of horses determines the ability to fight, pursue and transport.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty had already gathered 60,000 people and continued to harass the border of Jingbei. Yan Yingyuan, who was guarding Beiping and preparing to pacify Liao, immediately sent troops to put pressure on Shanhaiguan. The situation in the entire north suddenly became tense. The calm after the Northern Expedition lasted for less than half a year, and the two sides were tense again.

Hou Xuanyan ignored these things at all. His vision was already on the two navy troops. If the Denglai navy could land on the sea to conquer North Korea, the encirclement of the Qing Dynasty would become three sides. If the Fujian navy could defeat Zheng Chenggong and take back Dongfan Island, the road to a wider world would be completely opened.

Both of these things seem to be somewhat difficult now, but at least they are very hopeful. The development of the Denglai Naval Division is due to Hou Xuanyan's transfer of elite backbones of the Songjiang Naval Division to Dengzhou, but it is still a bit difficult to land in North Korea.
