Su Zhe's submission, representing the civil official group in Tianjing City, was basically taken down by Ouyang Shuo.

It is precisely because Su Zhe did not want to get involved in party disputes during his tenure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and devoted himself to diligent government affairs, and established a very high prestige in the civil official group of the former dynasty.

Real talented people are willing to make friends with Su Zhe.

Therefore, Su Zhe's recognition of Shanhai City will naturally drive a group of civil officials.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Shuo issued his third edict after taking charge of Tianjing City.

The content of the edict was aimed at the civil officials of the two counties.

The hundred officials of the previous dynasty, except for those who were marked by the two major intelligence agencies and blacklisted, could find a place in the county government that was about to be formed.

Of course, all officials in the two counties will follow the practice of Wuzhou County, and all of them will be dismissed first, and then re-applied through the administrative office. In this way, the original officialdom was thoroughly cleaned.

The only benefit of the fall of Guilin County is that Xiao He no longer has to "fill up the numbers". The 1,000 officials prepared by the Administration Department are enough to operate Xunzhou County and Zhen'an County.

On December 3, all 100,000 Taiping troops left Tianjing City.

With the departure of the Taiping army, the situation in Tianjing City became clearer and clearer. At least on the surface, there is no force that dares to openly disobey the decree of Shanhai City.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing was also very interested, and gradually got rid of the government affairs of Tianjing City and handed over all rights to the prince. Yang Xiuqing began to hide in the mansion, pack up, and be ready to go to Leizhou County at any time.

On the same day, the Long Xiang Army officially completed the sweep of the entire county of Zhen'an County. The next day, Bai Qi began to select the new headquarters of the Longxiang Army, and at the same time cooperated with the Military Affairs Administration to set up the headquarters of the group army.

At the same time, Bai Qi, as Ouyang Shuo's special envoy, approached Bai Hua's envoy Zhang Liao to discuss the issue of joint defense between the two places, hoping to establish a long-term and effective connection.

The meeting between the two sides is also to dispel misunderstandings and prevent the armies of the two sides from clashing at the border.

The entry of the Long Xiang army into Zhen'an County was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the [Yunnan city-state] that was still being formed. No one would think that Shanhai City was stationed in Zhen'an County to defend against its ally Lingxi City.

What its soldiers are pointing to is naturally self-evident.

Previously, the joint efforts of Shanhai City and Lingxi City made Kunming County completely change its banner in just three days. Now, it is really scary to solve the two giants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and join forces again.

The next day, the [Yunnan City-State] was announced to be completed, and its efficiency was simply jaw-dropping.

Although it is said that the unexpected fall of Guilin County has had a certain negative impact on the prestige of Shanhai City in China. However, no one can deny that Shanhai City, which once again annexed the two counties, has become a veritable giant in China, and its status is no longer shakeable.

Haven't you heard?

Although the northern Sichuan province united with the [southern Hunan city-state] in this battle, they joined forces to take Guilin County. The first thing the Ximen officials did after returning was to contact the lords of the northern Sichuan province to discuss the formation of a city-state.

Especially with Han Xin's army stationed in the withered fortress, for the northern Sichuan Province, it was just a Guilin county, which made it impossible for them to rush to Xin'an.

The formation of [Northern Sichuan City-State] is imminent.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

In this way, the area around Shanhai City, from west to east, is surrounded by the four major city-states of [Yunnan City-State], [Northern Sichuan City-State], [Xiangnan City-State] and [Lingnan City-State].

With such a formation, who is the city of mountains and seas.

All of a sudden, the southwest region has become the most high-profile existence in the entire Chinese region.

How Shanhai City will break out of the siege has become a big news that players are talking about for a while. Some so-called experts, unable to bear the loneliness, have written articles on the forum to expound their lofty opinions.

The most accepted view is that Shanhai City will definitely move westward.

This means that Shanhai City will unite with Lingxi City, a hardcore ally, to first clean up the [Yunnan City-State], stabilize its position to the west, and then free up its hands to clean up the other city-states.

Such an argument, coupled with the strong garrison of the Long Xiang army, how not to make the [Yunnan city-state] frightened. In the following New Year, they, the lords, are afraid that they will have an unstable life.

On December 4, the demolition of the Heavenly King's Palace was completed.

The huge Heavenly King's Palace was razed to the ground and completely became a thing of the past. At the same time and in the same place, the newly planned Xunzhou County Government was officially built.

The alternation of the old and the new represents the transition of the old and new regimes.

At this point, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be regarded as truly coming to an end, completely withdrawing from the road of wilderness hegemony.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Commercial Division held a grand auction in the square in front of the Heavenly King's Palace. In less than an hour, all the lots were sold out, and the funds were collected 110,000 gold coins.

Among them, there are merchants who actually sell timber, people who just need to build mansions, and of course, Hong Xiuquan's die-hard elements, and so on.

The Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard will cooperate with each other to sort out these buyers one by one, striving not to let go of any fish that slips through the net, and completely eliminating the influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the two counties.

At the same time, the Black Snake Guard has been investigating thousands of villages in the two counties. Completely eliminate the act of secretly sacrificing to the king, and severely punish those who commit crimes.

And all this, naturally, is paving the way for the rule of Shanhai City.

As for the funds from the auction, Ouyang Shuo did not reinvest them in the construction of Xunzhou County and Zhen'an County, but used them as military expenses for the expansion of the territory, including the pension for the death during the war.

In this way, the capture of the two counties, even the previous Wuzhou County, did not cause additional burdens on the finances of the territory, which can be regarded as a blessing.

As the auction ended, the Black Snake Guard began to carry out secret cleaning work in Tianjing City. But all those who were blacklisted before, whether they were gentry officials or peddlers' pawns, would die one by one.

In just one day, more than 200 people died.

For a while, it caused a commotion in Tianjing City.

As a last resort, Ouyang Shuo personally came forward to appease the people, saying that this was only a temporary elimination of bandits. In this way, it can be regarded as allowing Tianjing City to return to calm a little.

On December 5, Bao Shuya finally arrived in Tianjing City.

came with Uncle Bao, as well as Cui Shouhei. Cui Shousi will stay in Tianjing City for a day, and after a brief debriefing, he will set off again and go to Zhen'an County to take up his post.

As early as two days ago, Mulan Yue had already led more than 500 officials, under the escort of the Second Division of the First Army of the Longxiang Army, to successfully arrive in Zhen'an County and officially take over the government affairs of Zhen'an County.

went with Mulan Yue, as well as her personal guard, Li Feixue.

It is reported that Li Feixue is preparing to create a sect in Zhen'an County, and has the full support of Mulan Yue.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is naturally happy to see it.

The next day, Yang Xiuqing was escorted by a team of personal guards and set off for Leizhou County to take up his post.

**********

On December 8, Ouyang Shuo set off for Tianjing City.

Leaving with Ouyang Shuo, there were also two independent divisions of Shanman. As for the Praetorian Guard Division, it was temporarily left in Tianjing City, and it would not set off to return to Shanhai City until the Xunzhou County Garrison Division was formed.

Prior to this, the Wuzhou County Garrison Division had been formed, and the Shanman Independent Fourth Division stationed in Chiyou City was already on its way back to Shanhai City and would arrive soon.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo wanted to stay in Tianjing City for a while, but unfortunately, a secret letter from the Black Snake Guard made Ouyang Shuo have to return to Shanhai City in advance.

According to the Black Snake Guard, they finally found Fan Li and Xi Shi.

On the same day, Bai Xue officially informed the Department of Commerce, saying that her father Bai Gui had agreed to move the Bai family trading company to Shanhai City.

If there is no connection between Fan Li and Bai Gui, he doesn't believe it if he kills Ouyang Shuo.

Regarding the invitation of the Black Snake Guard, Fan Li was surprisingly not embarrassed, and readily agreed to leave with the Black Snake Guard and go to Shanhai City to settle down.

According to their speed, as long as they reach the nearest royal city, they can quickly teleport to Shanhai City.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo must set off in advance and embark on the road to return.

Calculating the time, Ouyang Shuo left Shanhai City this time, for more than two months, and it was time to go back.

On December 12, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to arrive at Mulan Fortress.

In Mulan Fortress, Ouyang Shuo stayed for a short day and had a deep conversation with Du Ruhui, and fully communicated with him on the specific army reorganization and related personnel appointments and dismissals.

Du Ruhui is worthy of being a capable minister, and in a short period of time, he refined the rough army reorganization plan formulated by Ouyang Shuo a few days ago into a plan of more than a dozen pages and tens of thousands of words, and all aspects of affairs were taken into account.

Of course, this is also assisted by the various departments under the Military Affairs Administration. In particular, Zhao Kuo, the director of the Operations Department, played a greater role in assisting and became Du Ruhui's most important assistant.

The next day, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to leave again.

Leaving the fortress with Ouyang Shuo were Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Xiao Chaogui and Feng Yunshan, four generals of the Taiping Army. These four are all hard bones, and they still refuse to surrender.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo simply took them all back to Shanhai City and disposed of them.

**********

On December 15, Ouyang Shuo and his entourage successfully arrived at Shanhai City.

At the north gate outside the city, Xiao He led hundreds of civil and military officials to kneel to greet him, and the momentum was huge, shocking the entire Shanhai City.

As a result, it was also officially announced that Ouyang Shuo was the king of return.

Back in Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo placed the two Shanman Independent Divisions in the Wangcheng military camp. Then he didn't see anyone, but plunged into the apse of the Imperial Palace.

After being away from home for a few months, Ouyang Shuo naturally missed his relatives a lot.

The lovely Bing'er and the gentle Song Jia are all existences that he thinks about day and night.

Only at this moment can Ouyang Shuo temporarily put down his hegemony and truly relax.
