The prominent point of the military system of the Jin Dynasty was the establishment of the Governor's Office in important locations.

He was appointed as the Jiedu ambassador during the reign of Emperor Xuan, but it was only a temporary position. Like the positions of the marching chief supervisor and the Grand Commander, if you have something to lead troops out to fight, you will immediately hand over the military power after returning. It is not a permanent position. After Xuanzong, he began to expand the power of the Jiedu ambassador and set up several Jiedu governors on the border. He served for several years or even ten years, and was collectively called the vassal state. The prototype of the vassal state began.

The vassal states often held the military power of one or several states. Later, the power gradually expanded, and they also managed civil affairs and finance, and controlled all the military and political power, forming local separatism, and often confronted the imperial court.

From the beginning to the present, the feudal state has been around for almost three hundred years. In such a long period of time, the power of the Jin Dynasty has declined. A certain local vassal state is extremely powerful and can even surpass the central court. However, some things cannot just count military accounts. As far as the political level is concerned, a vassal state is powerful, it is only a local government, a minister, and the court is weak, it is also orthodox and the central government.

Therefore, since Emperor Wuzong, the national power of the Jin Dynasty became weaker and weaker, and the number of local vassal states increased. However, in the past hundred years, most of the vassal states were not separatist. Only the five major vassal states in Hebei established their own separatist states. However, even separatist states still implemented the policies and laws of the Jin Dynasty to a large extent. "The power of the imperial court must be used to ensure military situations." Moreover, separatist states would be eliminated as the situation changes. For example, after the end of the First Longyou War, the court won a great victory. The five major vassal states in Hebei immediately sent envoys to the court to express their congratulations, and took the initiative to ask the court to send officials to Hebei to serve, and returned some of the local personnel rights in Hebei to the court. Although the range was not very large, it also showed the attitude of the five major vassal states in Hebei, and began to turn from strong to weak, and automatically lifted the trend of separatist states.

So much so that after the victory of the Second Longyou War, the military reputation of the Jin Dynasty reached its peak, and the major vassal states in the world were shocked. Many vassal states expressed their congratulations and expressed their hope to return to Beijing to report their duties. Some vassal states and governors were not very good with the court, even requested to lift their military power and return to Beijing to retire to show their loyalty.

Everything changes with the changes in the current situation. If you are strong, I will be weak, and if you are weak, I will naturally be strong. The principle has always been this.

As far as economics are concerned, the governor of the vassal state is free to the side as a magistrate. His financial basis depends on the state's tax revenue, and his force relies on the law to belong to the state's army, which is the so-called official health.

Therefore, the separatist vassal states in the vassal states were both attempting to be free from the central court, but could not completely deny the central rule.

In the view of land owners, there is no economic difference between taxes or taxes being offered to the court or intercepted vassal states. Also, by paying certain taxes and sharing the surplus value created by the people with the government, under the control of the audacious vassal state, there is no more economic benefit than under the rule of the central court.

Therefore, the owners of the large land always held a negative attitude of not supporting or cooperating with the governors of the vassal states, which was determined by their own objective economic interests.

In the fifth year of Chengping, during the Battle of Jiangnan, Yang Liecheng rebelled and Huang Qiu was ordered to quell the rebellion. Local heroes and heroes fought for success. This is the reason.

After all, in the world today, its land annexation has reached its limit, and a large number of people have no land to plant. In order to make a living, they can only find another way. They came from the bottom of the class and their choices are obviously pitiful. Joining the army is undoubtedly the best way out, which is why many military governors in the vassal states have endless military sources.

As early as the 14th year of Guangyuan, as the reconstruction of the imperial guard system gradually became complete and the central government was full of finances, Yang Daosi, Liu Jie and others had the idea and plan to reform the issue of land annexation. After making detailed plans, several prime ministers including Yang Daosi successively wrote letters to Zhao Zhi, which received support and affirmation from Zhao Zhi.

Unfortunately, just as the reform plan was about to be implemented, a huge riot interrupted everything.

In Zhao Zhi's later years, although he had achieved a series of brilliant military victories, the central government's financial problems had become increasingly difficult and serious. During this period, some visionary ministers had written letters many times, hoping to carry out reforms in land, economy, etc., but unfortunately, Zhao Zhi was already powerless.

Li Xun once lamented that if Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi's generation could live ten more years, with their ability and prestige, the country would definitely improve to a certain extent. The number of vassal states in the world could be reduced by at least by more than half. Unfortunately, all this can only be assumed.

"Zhiwen, this time we have been doing our best to accumulate manpower and material resources for so many years. We have all taken it out. After destroying Cheng Xisi, will the emperor agree to our request?"

Huang Baichuan had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, almost all of them were brought. No matter what victory or defeat, he would reward his soldiers under his command. Caizhou is very poor, and Huang Baichuan had accumulated more than ten years of wealth, which was only enough.

Huang Zhiwen was silent for a moment, and then said, "The situation in the court is complicated now. No one can predict what will happen in advance, so if you ask me this, I can't give you a positive answer, but there is one thing..."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhiwen looked up at Huang Baichuan: "If we don't even have the courage to bet, then we will surrender to Wang Huailio as soon as possible. Be his dog, at least we can save our lives."

Hearing this sentence, Huang Baichuan had a smile on his face. If he only wanted wealth and stability, he already had it. Now that he led his troops, what Huang Baichuan wanted was naturally not these.

"You advise me to send troops two hours later, but I am going to let Cheng Xisi fight with the imperial army first?"

Huang Baichuan has figured out Cheng Xisi's situation. Cheng Xisi has 50,000 troops in his hands, but only 20,000 troops have arrived in Jinyang. Where did the remaining 30,000 troops go? This is easy to guess. It must be heading towards the subsequent 20,000 imperial guards sent by the court.

Huang Zhiwen said indifferently: "Everyone can do the icing on the cake. Only when timely help can others be more grateful to us. The 20,000 imperial guards sent by the court were unknown. If the situation was unknown, they would probably be defeated if they rushed to Jinyang in such a hurry."

Huang Baichuan said: "The 10,000 troops sent by the imperial court in advance are still in Dazhou, which is interesting."

Huang Zhiwen shook his head and said, "Yan Yi is still too young. He believes in Lufeng's lies and actually ran to Dazhou and Chengzhou to summon the army."

As the general of the East Expedition, Yan Yi originally led 10,000 imperial guards to Jinyang, but on the way, he received a letter from Lufeng saying that Jinyang City had sufficient food and supplies, but there were few soldiers. Before Cheng Xisi could take action, more than 10,000 local troops in Dazhou, Chengzhou and other places could all be summoned and taken to Jinyang together. Yan Yi didn't know that there was a fraud, and felt that Lufeng was saying something was reasonable, and he actually took the army to Dazhou, Chengzhou and other places to collect local troops.

Yan Yi didn't expect that Lu Feng had already conspired with Cheng Xisi. Cheng Xisi only took two days to head north, with a rush of force and a rapid advance, and went directly to the city of Jinyang City. At this time, Yan Yi had just collected the army and was about to rush to Jinyang City.
