He did not wish to "claim land as king," so he chose to ignore the court's gradual exertion of control over the Jin land.
And territory is essentially the foundation of a vassal, a principle the Lord should certainly understand.
As a result,
in exchange,
besides the original Jingnan Army that entered Jin, including subsequently entered Li Bao troops, Li Fusheng troops, remnants of the Eldest Prince's Eastern Conquest Army, and the Jin soldiers originally in Jin land, all were consolidated by Lord Jingnan.
At present,
in the Three Jin lands,
once the Jingnan Army issues an order,
Jin land soldiers, regardless of their structure, must obey.
This is also a tacit agreement between the court and Lord Jingnan. Firstly, the newly attached Jin land and fluctuating public sentiment are inevitable; secondly, outside Jin land, snowy wild people and Chu pose threats. Thus, someone must hold fort there.
