It must be understood that the court does not permit Prefecture Governor to have the authority to mobilize County Daru Hua Chi's soldiers, precisely to prevent local military powers from causing chaos.
If the Prefecture Governor could mobilize the soldiers under the County Daru Hua Chi, it could easily lead to a situation with five or six thousand cavalry. If they colluded to create disorder, how terrifying that would be.
Therefore, the court strictly controls military authority.
Only Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao dare to act first and report later, with the support of the Ruyang Royal Mansion behind them. After all, in the Jiangnan region, the Ruyang King is like the local emperor.
Even the true Emperor seated on the throne in the Great Capital must show deference to this Uncle Ruyang, as the White Deer Army, one of the Empire's Three Great Imperial Armies, is under the Ruyang King's command.
This alone makes the Ruyang King's position unrivaled.
