Government orders were issued one after another from the Anton Protectorate and were implemented quickly.

After seeing Zhang Zhengdao's tough tactics, all the aristocratic families in Jeolla Province bowed their heads.

At the same time, the Diting Camp, which Shi Qian was in charge of, successively recruited many Koreans who were interested in the Song Dynasty, and was responsible for inquiring into local people's sentiments. Anyone who dared to plot evil would be killed without mercy.

Unlike the aristocratic families who remained silent, ordinary Goryeo people were happy and encouraged, especially after they were actually allocated land, they sincerely supported the Andong Protectorate.

Zhang Zhengdao also built a large number of schools in Jeolla Province, appointed people from the Song Dynasty, taught language and writing, and comprehensively promoted Central Plains culture.

When various political orders were implemented, the learned people of Goryeo lamented endlessly, but they were helpless in front of the powerful army.

Winter has entered in the blink of an eye, and the weather suddenly turned cold. The Liangshan army temporarily stopped attacking and gradually entered the repair stage.

On this day, Zhang Zhengdao gathered Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui and others together to discuss political affairs.

At this moment, Yangsan not only occupies Jeolla Province, but also occupies all the land near the sea in the south of Gyeongsang Province.

"Captain, are you going back to Liangshan?" Wen Huanzhang asked.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Yes, now that winter has entered, it is not appropriate to start fighting again. We only need to implement the administrative orders step by step. I should also return to Liangshan."

Xiao Jiasui said: "Commander, Xiao asked for orders to send troops to capture Qingshang Road before the cold winter arrives."

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said: "As long as there are enough talents to manage the captured state capital, we can continue to attack Gyeongsang Province."

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Captain, Wen actually thinks that we can use some young talents from Goryeo who have taken refuge to show the ambition of the Andong Protectorate."

Strict suppression is indeed not the way to go. We also need to adopt gentle strategies. Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is true. In this case, your disciple will also be sent to the local area to take charge of a county."

Wen Huanzhang suggested: "How about organizing another imperial examination next spring?"

Xiao Jiasui smiled and said: "This is a great plan!"

Zhang Zhengdao thought about it and agreed.

"The imperial examination does not distinguish between people from the Song Dynasty, Korea, and Liao. As long as they are talented and sincerely support the governor's office, they can serve in local governments." Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "In this imperial examination, all answers must be in my Chinese language."
Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "That's how it should be."

Zhang Zhengdao then ordered: "While I am away, if Wang Ma, the lord of Goryeo, sends troops to attack, the two military advisors can mobilize their troops and horses at will to stop the attack."

Xiao Jiasui said: "Don't worry, Governor. According to the news heard by the Diting Camp, there are not many soldiers and horses available in Goryeo. Even if we send out troops, I'm afraid they will only be some new soldiers, which is not enough evidence."

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said: "Don't take it lightly. There are still several powerful Goryeo troops stationed in the north of Goryeo. If they are mobilized, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "The spies sent to find out the movements of the Jurchens haven't come back yet?"

Wen Huanzhang shook his head.

Zhang Zhengdao frowned slightly and stopped thinking about this matter. The Jurchens' rebellion against the Liao Dynasty did not happen overnight. The most important thing for Liangshan right now is to consolidate its rule in Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province, and then choose the opportunity to go there.

Advance northward and unify Korea.

After discussing some military matters and civil affairs, Zhang Zhengdao, escorted by two navy ships, returned to Liangshan along the coastline early the next morning.

Different from when he went on the expedition, when he returned to the mountains this time, Zhang Zhengdao was no longer a puddle bandit, but transformed into the Grand Governor of the Andong Protectorate.

Although it is a self-proclaimed fictitious title, the more than 100,000 soldiers and 400,000 to 500,000 civilians under his command are real.

The sea-going ship went from the mouth of Beiqing River all the way up the river, entered the 800-mile water moor, and docked at the Golden Beach Pier.

Zhang Zhengdao stepped ashore and looked at the three passes of Liangshan Mountain. He saw the flags fluttering and the guns and armor shining brightly, giving him the atmosphere of a Dazhai.

"I've seen the stronghold... the governor!" Jinding and Fu Xiang, the two commanders who were guarding the stronghold, came in a hurry and hurriedly bent down to pay tribute.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Thank you two brothers for guarding the village."

Jin Ding replied: "When I heard that the governor was killing everyone, I wished I could fly to Goryeo and fight on the battlefield."

Fu Xiang also asked: "Commander, when will the mountain guarding army be transferred to Goryeo?"

Zhang Zhengdao saw that the two men were eager to fight, so he smiled and said: "At the beginning of spring, it will be inevitable to transfer the mountain guarding army to Goryeo."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and surrounded Zhang Zhengdao through the three passes and arrived at the Juyi Hall.

Zhang Zhengdao sat on the throne and asked: "What big things will happen in the village while I am away?"

Jin Ding replied: "Except for the increasing number of people throwing themselves into the mountains, nothing else happened."

Fu Xiang said: "Captain, brother Yuan Lang brought a Forbidden Army instructor from Bianliang City in Tokyo. He is very good at marksmanship. Now he is teaching martial arts to the brothers in the mountain guarding army."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "But Coach Zhang?"

Jin Ding said: "Brother Yuan Lang, after sending Coach Zhang and his family to Brother Zhu Gui's hotel, they went to Korea."

"This old instructor was idle in the mountain stronghold. When he saw the army guarding the mountain training, he gave him some pointers." Fu Xiang said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the governor's jokes. We two were born in a rough way. How can we know how to train soldiers? How can we win Zhang?"

Only with the guidance of the coach can you know that there is someone out there."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "The old instructor was born in the army, and he also trained the Imperial Army in Bianliang City, so he certainly has some training methods."

After saying this, Zhang Zhengdao stood up and said: "Take me to see Coach Zhang."

Jin Ding and Fu Xiang led Zhang Zhengdao to the Hanzhai where the Shanshan Guards were stationed to find Coach Zhang.

When the three of them entered Hanzhai, they heard shouts of killing. An old instructor, carrying a spear, was training the soldiers.

Jin Ding wanted to shout loudly, but Zhang Zhengdao stopped him.

The three of them stood aside and watched Coach Zhang carefully as he drilled these mountain guards.

After Coach Zhang gave the order to stop training, Zhang Zhengdao stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted: "Old coach, after two years of separation, my style remains the same."

Teacher Zhang heard Zhang Zhengdao's voice and raised his head and looked over. He was filled with emotion. His son-in-law Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu and assassinated in Cangzhou. After that, Gao Yanei came to harass his daughter all day long.

I wanted to take my daughter back to my home to take care of her, but I never thought that Zhang Zhenniang and her maid Jin'er would disappear.

Instructor Zhang was so angry that he held a spear and wanted to rush into Gao Qiu's home to save his daughter.

However, as soon as she left the house, she was intercepted by a man and taken outside the city. Only then did she know that her daughter had been rescued by Liangshan heroes.

Coach Zhang knew that Gao Yanei had already framed his son-in-law Lin Chong in order to seize his daughter. If he continued to live in Bianliang City, he was afraid that he would fall into Gao Yanei's hands sooner or later.

Coach Zhang, who understood Zhang Zhenniang's temperament, simply gave up his family business and followed Yuan Lang and others to Liangshan.
