Huaiyin is the current town of Xuzhou, which is different from Huainan, which has been stable in Shouchun since the beginning of the town.

The reason why the rule of law is often changed is not that Xi Jianjing is extremely thoughtful and likes the new and dislikes the old, but that it is determined by the difference in the military system. For example, in Huainan today, although the soldiers have been deployed in Hebei and reached the gateway of Guanzhong, even if Shen Zhezi is in Shouchun, who is in the rear, he can guarantee absolute control over the army.

And Xi Jian did not have such a strong force, he was attacked by Qianhu before, and his troops were compressed in Huaixia, so the town of Guangling was quite appropriate. Later, the army advanced widely, whether it was Xuyi earlier or Huaiyin at the moment, Xi Jian's town governance had to follow the direction of the soldiers. If he didn't, his control over the army would be greatly weakened.

Of course, according to the current situation in Xuzhou, the town of Huaiyin is no longer suitable, and the better choice is Pengcheng. But since the Central Plains War last year, Xi Jian has gradually retreated to the second line, and later the main force of Xuzhou was simply handed over to Shen Zhezi under the command, so he no longer had to continue to move the town in order to maintain his influence on the army.

It was not the first time that Shen Zhezi had come to Huaiyin, and he had met and communicated with Xi Jian in private several times before, but it was the first time that he had actually appeared in public, and his mood was already different, because this time he was visiting as a successor rather than a guest.

When the group arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, it was already raining cold ice and rain in the sky. Xi Jian was old after all, and he had suffered from the wind and cold before, so after returning to the mansion, he inevitably ran out of energy, and arranged for his nephews and subordinate officials to hold a banquet for Huainan and his party to wash the dust, and he went in to rest for a while.

Although the handover has not yet been officially completed, the subordinate officials in Xuzhou do not dare to slack off in front of Shen Zhezi. Especially after witnessing the beginning and end of the previous turmoil, he felt Liang Gong's determination to win Xuzhou, so they were all worried at this time, and they arranged Shen Zhezi in the main position very respectfully.

Shen Zhezi was also not seen, and after sitting down, he asked about the results of the previous ordnance theft, and several officials involved were escorted to the hall, among which the officials belonging to Xuzhou had already been dismissed and convicted, and the personnel stationed in Huainan were only imprisoned, probably these subordinate officials in Xuzhou also wanted to test Shen Zhezi's attitude.

But they are doomed to be disappointed, this matter is clearly so, Shen Zhezi only adheres to the attitude of judging the matter on the matter, and directly judges the crime in the court, what punishment should be carried out immediately, and there is no intention of favoritism.

Seeing this scene, the last bit of luck of the subordinate officials in Xuzhou was gone, and they understood that after this Shen Dadu Governor became the governor of Xuzhou, the relaxed atmosphere of the early reign of Duke Xi was gone. Rather than making meaningless remembrances, the most important thing they should do should be to be cautious and try not to give the new envoy an excuse to play on the topic.

The officials of the two towns at the table introduced themselves in their greetings, and Shen Zhezi also looked at everyone at the table carefully and made a gesture of deep memory, although he knew that a considerable number of these Xuzhou subordinate officials would not appear in front of him again in the near future, at least not in this capacity.

The composition of Xuzhou's subordinate officials is very complicated, and a considerable part of them are naturally clan people from this realm, and there are also Shishu talents recruited by Xi Jian in Jiangdong in the name of Taiweifu, and naturally it is inevitable that people from the north will surrender.

No matter what the background of these people is, Shen Zhezi doesn't care too much, he has already passed the stage where he has to invite a wide range of people to help, so he doesn't care too much about the added value brought by the respective backgrounds of the officials, but values everyone's talents more. Therefore, in the future, we must conduct an evaluation and screening for these people, and those who are qualified will stay, and those who are unqualified will be cleaned out.

Even if you still have to take care of Xi Jian's face, at most there will only be a few candidates with special significance, and as for the rest, you must work hard to enter the new system order of Jiangbei in the future.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious, and everyone deliberately did not mention some sensitive topics, so it can be said that the guest and host were happy at the end, but the identity of the guest and host may be reversed at any time.

The next day, the official handover began. This handover is not just a ceremony, although Xi Jian's capital power has been weakened a lot, only Qing and Xu are left, but it covers many aspects such as people, acres, armor, warehousing, etc., if everything has to be determined clearly before the official delivery, it will not be possible to do it in a month or two.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Zhezi sent Huainan officials to Xuzhou as early as last year, so far, he has understood a general understanding of all aspects of Xuzhou's data, and even some vague areas that Xi Jian is not clear have a conceptual understanding.

Therefore, the current handover does not need to be extremely cumbersome, and the only thing that is somewhat difficult is the number of residents. At present, the number of residents under the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion is still growing rapidly, and the reason why this is the case is actually very related to Shen Zhezi.

Previously, while announcing the theft of ordnance, he also claimed that as long as he entered the town to preside, all the people under the Huaixia could stop cultivating, in other words, with the Huaishui as the boundary, he was directly exempted from the military service of the people under the rule of Xuzhou.

For careerists, in troubled times, they can sleep soundly only when they have natural swords in hand, but for ordinary people, it is the biggest dream in this life to be able to avoid the involvement of military disasters and live with peace of mind.

Therefore, under the condition of Shen Zhezi's assurance, in the recent period, many people, especially the people of the counties near Huaishui, have flocked to various government offices to compete for naturalization, and there has even been a phenomenon of many homeless people and military leaders fleeing the entire shadow, because once naturalized, it means that they can be exempted from heavy and dangerous military service.

This is tantamount to directly touching the foundation of those military leaders, if in ordinary times, how can they tolerate this kind of thing happening, they must try their best to restrain their subordinates and even do not hesitate to block each other.

However, during this period of time, people at the time were more concerned about the theft of weapons, and who had the courage to act rashly in such a sensitive season? If he is accused of being a mastermind of stealing weapons, he is really speechless, and others will only applaud and applaud Shen Dadu, saying that he is killing the traitors in the township.

Of course, things are not so simple, in the final analysis, it is still these military leaders and rogue commanders who are currently staying in Xuzhou Town, and they are not the strongest group in themselves.

Because at present, the real main force of the Xuzhou Army is still stationed in various towns in Henan, and although some locals who remain in the south want to be based, it is absolutely difficult to achieve the prestige of those who can gather at the height of the heights. In particular, the last ordnance is still out, which makes these village leaders suspicious of each other, and it is difficult to effectively connect them.

Previously, there were many village leaders who were also worried about Shen Dadu's entry into the town, but there were always one or two lucks in their hearts, and they felt that no matter how domineering this Liang Gong was, it was impossible to suppress the villagers at the beginning of his tenure, after all, it was difficult to commit grievances.

If the situation is really bad to that point, they will certainly be unhappy, but that Liang Gong also can't think of peace, and then win over the villagers to protect themselves, does the Huainan army really dare to recklessly kill into the countryside of Xuzhou?

If Liang Gong really dared to make such a heart-wrenching move, it would naturally be impossible for the main forces of the Xuzhou Army who were originally in Henan to sit back and watch the villagers being slaughtered like this, and they would definitely return to the countryside! So if he really tore his face, Liang Gong's loss would definitely be greater than theirs.

But after all, they still underestimated the sinister way of the world, Liang Gong really wanted to deal with them, he didn't impose a single soldier at all, and even before he officially entered Xuzhou, he directly leveraged their foundation with just a few words. By the time the momentum had gained momentum, the situation was out of their control.

In the face of such a situation, who really dares to fight with their lives and compete for the vitality of one or two out of ten thousand?

Moreover, they were not the leaders of the army in the first place, and they were already war-weary, so if Liang Gong could really guarantee that all naturalized citizens would be exempt from military service, it might not be a good thing for them.

So in the past few days, especially with the passage of time, the number of villagers who are naturalized every day under the rule of Xuzhou has surged, from a few thousand people a day at the beginning to tens of thousands of people a day, and the momentum of growth is becoming more and more violent!

In the face of such a situation, Xi Jian couldn't cry or laugh for a while, he didn't solve the serious problem of Xuzhou Yinhu for so long, but Shen Zhezi had only been in the town for a few days, and he hadn't even officially taken over Xuzhou, so he directly tore apart the layer of deformed but tenacious villager dependence with a tough attitude.

This kind of ability, if you want to envy it, you can't envy it, at least Shen Zhezi's guarantee to stop fighting and fighting, Xi Jian will not dare to make it.

Moreover, there is a great risk in such drastic measures, a large number of people have left their original state of shadow and become registered civilians, and they must be resettled as soon as possible, otherwise under the encouragement of those who are willing to do so, it may cause a violent popular uprising in an instant.

So even if he knew that there was such a method, Xi Jian didn't dare to do it, because he couldn't afford the serious consequences. And this consequence is almost non-existent for Huainan.

You must know that just last year, the Huainan Governor's Mansion also sheltered and resettled more than one million Hebei refugees, even if the people of Xuzhou are fierce, at most they are comparable to the Hebei refugees, and if it comes to the difficulty of resettlement, Xuzhou is much better than the wasteland of the Central Plains counties, at least it has more than ten years of business foundation.

At the same time that the people of Xuzhou were vying for naturalization, Shen Zhezi was not idle, after he received Xi Jian's order, he immediately ordered the formation of five military offices in Xuzhou Town, with a total of 30,000 government soldiers, which were used to replace the original county soldiers, township warriors and other armed forces to guard the peace of the countryside.

This recruitment is voluntary, not forcible conscription, so it does not contradict the previous statement of exemption from militia service. The next livelihood settlement of the people will be given priority to the families of the sergeants, and at the same time, the county soldiers, the village brave, and those who have parents, wives and children who need to support them are eligible to enter the military government first.

This arrangement is tantamount to re-recruiting the armed forces of the floating militia, which are already on the verge of collapse, so as to prevent a large number of soldiers from scattering in the countryside and bullying the weak and corrupting the order. At the same time, the families of these enlisted soldiers are controlled as hostages to achieve control over the army.

It seems to be a redundant move, but in fact, it has dealt a heavy blow to the previous form of existence of the rogue militia, and has become a completely new organized armed force.

It was not until this step that all of Shen Zhezi's strategies and steps for Xuzhou were summed up.

Previously, through the transportation of ordnance, the concept of the Huainan Army's strength was instilled in the minds of the military leaders and their subordinates, and then the main force of the Xuzhou Army was transferred out of the town through large-scale conquest, and then the temptation of Zhige was used to disintegrate the foundation of the homeless marshals, and finally through the form of the military government, the unstable factors remaining in the countryside were absorbed back to form a controllable division.

Once the rectification of Xuzhou Town is completed, the leaders of the Xuzhou Army who have been transferred abroad will become a source of water, and even if there is still the idea of supporting the army and respecting themselves, there is no possibility of realizing it.
