So we simply created the Andong Province, and used the title of Governor-General of Chijie that had been used in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

For example, if you want to station troops in Beiping Prefecture to defend against the Khitans and engage in foreign affairs at the Fortress, then you can appoint a military commander to oversee the military affairs of the prefectures and counties in Andong Province.

The Commander-in-Chief can supervise the army in the area except for the pro-army, and can be established when there is trouble and can be abolished when there is no trouble. It is a high-power but not permanent official position.

In fact, this is not a particularly clever system, because the original Jiedushi established it this way.

However, later on, due to various reasons such as the country's gradual inability to afford local military expenditures and border defense needs, power was gradually decentralized and turned into military envoys.

Zhang Li couldn't help but grit his teeth. This history is indeed a cycle. It is estimated that after one or two hundred years, Zhang Zhou's military governor of a certain place will evolve into the current military commander.

However, at this time when it is booming, this system is definitely much better than the Jiedushi that exudes the atmosphere of decadence and separatism.

Moreover, Gao Xingzhou deliberately used the position of governor to make an argument. He must have felt aggrieved when he served as the military governor of Fan Yangjun.

Because Murong Nobunaga was in Pingzhou, east of Beiping Prefecture, and served as the governor of Andong.

Needless to say, Gao Xingzhou could probably command Fan Yang's army of two to three thousand men.

Who is Murong Nobunaga? He is the nephew of Empress Cao Yanxi, the son of Imperial Concubine Cao Yannai, and the half-adopted son and top thug of Zhang Shengren.

His mother, Cao Sanniang, Yan Nai, followed the emperor from a young age and can be regarded as a member of the Yuancong sect.

In addition, Murong Nobunaga was famous all over the world. He was also the son-in-law of Mingzong of the later dynasty and the brother-in-law of Shi Jingtang, the leader of Jin Dynasty.

With such a terrifying status, even if he is humble, can all the minions and counselors around him be humble?

Gao Xingzhou was a relative, a veteran, and a senior. On the surface, he was a handsome man, but he could only serve as a subordinate to Murong Nobunaga. He must have lived a very miserable life.

Zhang Gao thought about it for a moment, and it was true that he was a little careless. Thinking of Zhang Gao, he said to Gao Huaide.

"E Niang is pregnant. She has been vomiting violently recently and has become quite haggard. I would like you to go see her later and have a few words with her."

Gao Huaide was overjoyed. His sister Gao Eniang married into the Du family and had nothing to do for half a year. She also stayed with the emperor for a year, but there was still no movement.

The Gao family has always been worried about whether Gao Eniang is infertile. It is not easy for her daughter to become a concubine. If she is infertile, it will be too uncomfortable.

When he heard that his sister was pregnant, Gao Huaide jumped three feet high even in front of Zhang Yan.

"Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint. I will go and see E Niang now."

Of course Gao Huaide also understood that Zhang Yan was seeing off guests, so he happily was led by the chamberlain to Gao E Niang's yard.

Gao E Niang was originally chosen to accompany the driver because she was not pregnant. Now she suddenly found out that she was pregnant. She was happy but also a little disappointed. In addition, the road was bumpy and she was very uncomfortable. When she saw her brother coming, she was also happy.

Quite a few.

After Gao Huaide left, Zhang Yan began to think. When Murong Nobunaga was around, Zhang Yan didn't think that even a veteran general like Gao Xingzhou could not withstand his power. Zhang Yan was not satisfied with the reputation and reputation of the elder.

capabilities and have a clearer understanding.

It is estimated that if I had been assassinated at Xiangji Temple yesterday, my dear son would have been the undisputed successor. I am afraid that Queen Cao Yanxi would be willing to kiss her nephew Murong Nobunaga to take control of the overall situation.

At present, once Gao Xingzhou's memorial to depose the governor is approved, Gao Xingzhou will definitely not want to stay in Beiping Mansion. Murong Nobunaga will take over the entire Andong Province, which is a certainty.

Although Zhang Yan did not doubt Murong Nobunaga's loyalty and affection for him, and presumably Murong Nobunaga would not have inappropriate thoughts, the necessary restraint was still indispensable.

Murong Nobunaga must be assigned a suitable deputy.

So who is suitable? Zhang Hao thought for a while, and Zhe Congyuan's name suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although Zhe Congyuan was born in a remote place in Fuzhou, thanks to his good reputation in later generations, it was a great blessing for Zhang Zhi to meet with the Zhe family.

Zhe Congyuan himself rose from being the governor of a prefecture to becoming the governor of Ningxia. His eldest son, Zhe Deke, became the governor of Shuofang.

The second son, Zhe Deyuan, was even more extraordinary. Not only was he the adopted son of Zhang Shengren, he also married Zhang Shengren's cousin, making him a member of the Zhang family clan in Shazhou.

He is currently serving as the deputy defense envoy of Hedong, governor of Datong Prefecture (Yunzhou), and military supervisor of Datong Prefecture.

It can be said that the Zhe family is a noble family. Among the entire Hedong-Daibei line of warriors, no one is more favored than the Zhe family. Zhang Gao almost handed over half of the northwest defense to the Zhe family.

Therefore, the Zhe family is extremely loyal to Zhang Yan and can be used with confidence.

After deliberation for a long time, Zhang Zhang decided to form the Andong Province from the twelve prefectures of Pingping in the north plus Pingzhou and other places in western Liaoning.

Let Murong Nobunaga be appointed as the Pingzhang and Defense Envoy of Andong Province, and at the same time, he was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Andong Province.

In other words, with the title of Commander-in-Chief, the Imperial Army entering Andong Province will also be under the jurisdiction of Murong Nobunaga.

At the same time, Tiao Zhe Congyuan was the governor of Beiping Prefecture and the military supervisor of Beiping Prefecture. However, Zhe Congyuan was originally a provincial official, and now that he became the governor, he was obviously downgraded.

So Zhang Gao planned to give him a supervisor to oversee the Khitan affairs in the north of the mountain, and he would be in charge of all the Hu affairs in the north of Yanshan.

In Ningxia Province, Wu Luan took over the post of Pingzhang. As for Gao Xingzhou, Zhang Yan planned to transfer him to Shuofangxing Province to serve as Pingzhang.

The original Pingzhang of Shuofang Province was Zhe Deke. After Zhang Shi planned to conquer the Shu Kingdom, he temporarily divided the Shu Kingdom into two areas, Xichuan and Dongchuan. Zhe Deke went to Dongchuan to serve as Pingzhang, and by the way presided over the control of the later generations of Chongqing and Gui.

The work of recruiting indigenous people in both places.
