This surrender had a chain reaction. "Hullah..." All the soldiers who had been frightened by tens of thousands of animals, but without any morale, immediately threw their weapons, hugged their heads, and knelt on the ground.
In the whole war, except for the loss of more than a thousand people at the beginning, the Rebels hardly suffered any losses. Not only that, but also won the young and middle-aged Han Chinese of more than 20,000 people.
The 30,000 young and middle-aged Han people who followed Jin Bing were all slaves of Jin Bing. Their country was ruined and their lives were threatened by the Golden Soldiers at any time. When the rebels arrived, they immediately fled or fled. Among them, most of them surrendered to the rebels, which greatly increased the reserve force of the rebels.
After talking about the battle, Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded to everyone, and then talked about his plan to attack the city and land around Taihang Mountain.
Because of his distrust of the letter king Zhao Zhen, he also got Gaozong Zhao Gou's will to let him go south. Wang Yan led the elites of the Eight-character Army and went south to Zongze. Maybe it is because there is still a little hope for the King of Letters, Wang Yan still hasn't done everything. Before he left, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong, leaders of the rebel army who were willing to stay, brought one hundred thousand people to Zhao Zhen.
Since there is no such vigorous force as the Eight-character Army, the current situation of Xin Wang Yijun is very unfavorable. Now the Xin Wang Yijun has only laid down Leping. If it wants to develop, it must attack the territory and deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Jin Bing.
"We are going to attack the city and plunder the land, relying on the mountain as the rear support, and fight with the golden soldiers. This time we defeated the 10,000 elite golden soldiers, Jin will definitely not give up. Now they are still in the vicinity of Bianliang, and they are led by the old commander Zongze The army is deadlocked. In the future, the Jinbing will definitely send heavy soldiers to encircle and suppress us. Therefore, we must now build a secret camp deep in the mountains to open up wasteland and grow food. Attack the city under the mountain to build our territory." Zhao Zhen said, everyone They all agreed with him. In fact, everyone now has a feeling of blind obedience to Zhao Zhen, as long as he says everything is right.
Once the general strategy has been established, what is left is the military system. The army system of the rebels was very chaotic, and they were all called leaders, generals, and generals. Some people called Shuai had only a few hundred people, and some called Chief Leaders had a few thousand people. It really didn't make people know how many soldiers and horses there were, which made the commander a headache.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and said, "The military system implemented by our Da Song Dynasty is also very chaotic. For the sake of simplicity, our rebel army set up a simpler army establishment. We changed the establishment to five ranks of army, battalion, squadron, even, and army. Organization, the number of troops set up must be organized in strict accordance with regulations, so that there will be no shortcomings of ignorance of soldiers, ignorance of soldiers, and commanders ignorance of the number of troops.
The establishment of the original imperial army in the Northern Song Dynasty was divided into three levels: army, battalion, and capital. Generally, each battalion had 500 personnel, with a maximum of 1,000 personnel. The army governs five battalions, so the number of one army is generally between 2,500 and 5,000.
And Zhao Zhen's idea was improved from the original establishment of the Forbidden Army. There are five people in one group, ten people in one group, fifty people in a small group, one hundred people in a squadron, and five hundred people in a brigade. As for the establishment of the first battalion, the two brigades totaled 1,000 people. One army commanded five battalions, that is, five thousand men.
In addition, Zhao Zhen had to disrupt the organization and reorganize the troops. Using this method to recruit prisoners also disrupted the original establishment of the Golden Army, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of the escape of soldiers.
After discussing the establishment of the army, Zhao Zhen said to Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangjie: "Ma Zhengaiqing and Zhao Bangjieaiqing, you are the left and right deputy commanders, you are the left commander, and both of you also command an army. When I’m away, you two have the final say."
Ma Zheng was in the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also a soldier in his life. Among all the rebels, he was the most capable of commanding troops. And Zhao Bangjie was also a military attache, and was the original leader of the Wumashan Rebel Army, with the highest prestige. One of them is good at fighting, the other can stabilize the military's mind, and can complement each other and cooperate with each other.
On the fifth day of the occupation of Leping, the reorganization of the Xin Wang Yi Army was basically over, and a brand new Xin Wang Yi Army appeared. The entire Xinwangyi Army deployed a commander-in-chief battalion, seven armies, and a total of 36,000 horses. Among them, 23,000 infantry troops, 13,000 horse troops, and all horse troops are one man and two horses.
Originally, the war horses in the Rebels, plus the looted steeds and the seized war horses, believed that Wang Yijun had nearly 30,000 war horses in his hands.
Zhao Zhen finally has a powerful horse army, a horse army that can rival the golden soldiers.
Although Gao Yunfei was afraid of death and was a bonehead, he was also considered a resourceful person. Because of his plan, countless cattle and horses of the Kingdom of Jin were ruined in the hands of the rebels. Now that the high-ranking nobles of the Kingdom of Jin have hated him, Gao Yunfei now has no way out other than relying on the king.
This person is relatively reliable, and he knows Jin Bing's situation well, so he was placed in his own handsome account by Zhao Zhen, temporarily acting as a handsome accountant and concurrently as a military prison.
Zhao Qing'er was appointed by Zhao Zhen as the commander of the battalion, commanding the five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry of the battalion. Zhao Zhen deliberately established a dragon wolf army composed entirely of cavalry for Wang Jin, as his own direct army.
Zhao Bangjie and Zhao Songyong established the Golden Tiger Army; Ma Zheng and his fierce general Zhang Ying established Ma Jiajun; Liu Xi led the troops to form the Shenshan Army; Wu Fengjie led the troops to form the Fenglei Army; Liu Sange led his own The nephew Liu Shaner established the Mad Leopard Army. The five troops consisted of a battalion of cavalry and four battalions of infantry.
Gao Baoshan led the Khitan Fan General Xiao Deli and Xi Ren Fan General Gan Gu Duo to form the Black Dragon Army composed of the surrendered Fan soldiers. They had two thousand five hundred cavalry and two thousand five hundred infantry, and their strength was also very strong.
Believe in Wang Yijun officially believes in Wang Qiansui Zhao Zhen as the commander of the volunteer army. The rebels consisted of left and right deputies, Ma Zheng on the left, and Zhao Bangjie on the right. In addition, the Xinwang prince barracks were set up, and Zhao Qinger was appointed as the commander.
After the reorganization of more than 30,000 rebels was completed, everyone drank and ate meat in Leping City to celebrate.
Early the next morning, the drums and horns rang! Thirty-six thousand rebels marched down in Leping City. Raise the banner and believe in the king as commander in command. With this big banner, they are officially believers in Wang Yijun.
To raise the flag, the first thing to do is to sacrifice the flag. The sacrifice of the flag is generally to kill cattle and sheep, but the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, kills people, and still kills more than a thousand people in one breath.
More than a thousand people are true Jurchens, captured by the rebels in battle. The soldiers escorted all the Jurchen prisoners to the river bank, from the top to the lower soldiers, all of them were chopped off, and none were left.
Zhao Zhen gave an order, and more than two thousand heads fell to the ground, and the corpses and heads were placed in Jingguan by the rebels. When the Golden Soldiers who came to explore the surrounding towns saw them, they all changed color in amazement, trembling in horror. The fame of Believing in Wang Yijun became popular, and the golden soldiers in the surrounding towns were very afraid of Believing in Wang Yijun.
"Xinwang... Chitose! Marshal... Chitose!" Everyone's shouts were immediately earth-shaking, like thunder rolling in one after another. The soldiers opened their throats and yelled fiercely, lest they didn't shout loud enough or show loyalty enough.
Since the invasion of the Golden Soldiers, until the Zhao family was taken over by the Golden Soldiers. Everyone has never seen a royal family who can perform miracles, that is, Gaozong Zhao Gou, who proclaims himself emperor, is also an escape group! Surrender!
But now, everyone finally sees a royal prince who can perform miracles. To Zhao Zhen, everyone really respected from the bottom of their hearts. In the deafening cheers, Zhao Zhen was a little dizzy. Since possessing this body, he has tasted the taste of a real king for the first time. The kind of power in hand, the kind of killing and seizing, the kind of dominating the world and putting everything under one's control is really inextricable and addictive.
However, Zhao Zhen is not a person who is immersed in the status quo. He knows deeply that now is the time to grab time. In July, Zongze would die, and the main force of the golden soldiers would change the direction of attack. At that time, the Golden Soldiers will be able to allocate enough troops to encircle and suppress the rebels. What Zhao Zhen has to do now is to settle hundreds of thousands of people, and build territory to expand his strength.
The Bazi Army left-behind Rebel Army finally came, it was a messenger. The letter was written by Fu Xuan to Zhao Zhen, saying congratulations to Wang Qiansui for capturing Leping and winning the battle, and waiting for the day of His Highness's triumph.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong still don't know about Zhao Zhen's annihilation of 10,000 elite soldiers. They just congratulate Zhao Zhen for winning Leping.
In fact, Zhao Zhen had expected this result early. Wang Yan obviously didn't pay much attention to Zhao Zhen, or even looked down on it. For Wang Yan, Zhao Gou, who had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, was his master, a believer, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, so he ignored him.
Unlike Yue Fei, Wang Yan is a true hero who defends his family and the country, but there is no one perfect, Wang Yan is a little bit small. From the time when Yue Fei disagreed with him and parted ways, until the future when Yue Fei was promoted, Wang Yan had always had prejudices against Yue Fei and would never reconcile. However, Yue Fei always praised Wang Yan's achievements when meeting people, and clearly stated that he was young and energetic and made a mistake in his judgment. It can be seen from these places that this Wang Yan has a much smaller belly than Yue Fei.
Following Wang Yan's ideas, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong, who stayed behind in the Taihang Mountains, led hundreds of thousands of people and a small number of soldiers, and were very uncomfortable with the sudden arrival of King Xin.
However, it is clear that the believer Zhao Zhen is not a mediocre prince. After leading the rebels to leave Wuma Mountain, he overcame the mountains to defeat Jinbing and took Leping City. As more and more people and rebels took refuge in Zhao Zhen, so did Zhao Zhen's soldiers and horses. Obviously Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong also began to attach importance to this rebel who claimed to be under the king of Xin.
However, if Zhao Zhen hadn't led the Wumashan volunteers to come to Taihang Mountain, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong would not stay. Wang Yan went south to find Zongze, but in fact he still wanted to go north with the main force of the Song Dynasty and kill him back. Letting Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong stay to join the Wumashan Rebels is also worthy of the love of the anti-Gold Rebels. As for the letter king Zhao Zhen who wants to annex the remaining people in Taihang Mountain, Fu Xuan and Jiao Wentong will not be able to give in.
Under the leadership of Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhen, the Rebels began systematic training. In addition to issuing military training strategies to various ministries, Zhao Zhen also placed hundreds of thousands of people in the depths of the Taihang Mountains and near Leping to farm.
Due to time and lack of food, Zhao Zhen ordered the people to grow radishes, potatoes and pumpkins in large quantities. He also sent people to the southern coast to find sea merchants to buy sweet potato seeds. As for the high-yield corn, Zhao Zhen didn't return his extravagant expectations. It was a product in the New World, and he couldn't get it now.
With the help of Princess Xin Wang, Zhao Qing'er is finally going to marry Wang Xin. The reason why Zhao Zhen is so anxious to marry Zhao Qing'er is actually to appease the hearts of the original squad at Wuma Mountain. The women of His Royal Highness are all from Wuma Mountain, so naturally everyone is also covered. Zhao Bangjie is even tied to Zhao Zhen's destiny. In the future, for Zhao Zhen, he will definitely make great efforts.
The marriage customs of the Han people are very troublesome. First of all, you must use the hands of a matchmaker to exchange cursive notes to see if the characters of the man and woman are compatible. If both parties are auspicious, then make the post and write down the family situation of both men and women. If both parents are satisfied, they can go on a blind date. A blind date is when the parents of both parties meet, and if they like each other, the man will make an appointment and the woman will return the gift. Then there is the offer. The matchmaker decides the date for the appointment, and the man will send the offer. After the man chooses a good day, he can prepare to welcome his relatives.
These are ordinary people, and as for the prince to get married, it is even more troublesome to death. But now is an extraordinary period, Zhao Zhen doesn't want to do it big, try to do it simply.
The prince's concubine was not simple enough, anyway, after playing back and forth for two or three days, Zhao Zhen and the soldiers were sent to Zhao Qing'er's bridal chamber after drinking a drink.
The king of Xin married Zhao Qing'er, the leader of the battalion. It was just an episode. Soon the rebels will face more challenges.
At this time, Zhao Zhen dispatched a few secret envoys for funerals and a group of emissaries dressed as Jin Guo’s messengers to go to Yangzhou to deliver false news...
At this moment, Zhao Gou Gaozong, who was far away in Yangzhou, was shocked when he saw the "Handwritten Letter from the King" presented by Ma Kuo.
Jin soldiers invaded south, the disaster of Jingkang. All the princes of the Zhao family, except Zhao Gou, were all captured by the Golden Soldiers and headed north. He didn't believe in the truth of this believing king. But after reading Zhao Zhen's letter, Zhao Gou recognized the handwriting of the emperor's brother Xinwang, so he couldn't help but believe it.
At this time, Zhao Gou was anxious. Zhao Zhen is Zhao Ji's son, Zhao Huan's younger brother, and his own younger brother. Since he was regarded as the leader by the Wumashan Uprising Army, his influence on the army and civilians in the north must not be small.
Because the majority of Tokyo's military and civilians are dissatisfied with themselves for a long time, if this person enters Tokyo and gains the support of the military and civilians, it is possible to compete with him for the throne.
Zhao Gou is now the number one enemy of the Zhao clan who is engaged in anti-gold activities threatening his emperor's status, and the loyal and righteous militiamen who are engaged in anti-gold activities are the number two enemy.
Because he was afraid of knowing the strength of Jinbing, Zhao Gou never thought about fighting against Jin. He was wholeheartedly striving for peace, even if the emperor was the emperor. When Jin Bing arrived, his first thought was to escape. As for the anti-gold slogan, it was nothing more than his yelling against his will in order to win the hearts of the people. It just deceives the people and loyal officials.
Zhao Zhen, who was fighting against gold in the north, must have advocated the Northern Expedition, but in his heart, Zhao Gou advocated the southward flight. In such a comparison, the majority of the military and civilians would support Zhao Zhen instead of supporting herself. Looking at Zhao Zhen's letter, Gaozong Zhao Gou deeply felt that his younger brother was a potential threat to his throne, so he had to get rid of King Xin.
Therefore, we must be preemptive and not be passive. Zhao Gou immediately issued an edict and appointed Zhao Zhen as the "Marshal of Hebei Soldiers and Horses" and Ma Kuo as the "General Manager of the Horse and Infantry Capitals of the Marshal's Mansion". First determine the identity of Zhao Zhenchen.
In addition, Zhao Gou, who didn't know that the Wumashan Rebels had moved their troops to Taihang, allowed Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan to obtain adequately accurate Wumashan military intelligence from Ma Kao. They also sent spies to the north quickly to inform the Jinbing, on the one hand to flatter the Jinbing, and on the other hand to eradicate the King of Letters. one stone two bird.
After Gaozong sent thousands of refugees to Ma Kuo, the old and the weak, and let Ma Kuo go northward, he immediately issued an edict in response to Zongze's twenty-first begging memorial memorial.
Gaozong's response this time made old handsome Zongze and a group of patriotic generals happy. This time there is an edict "Return to Luan", which is a major event that has attracted the attention of the general military and civilians in Tokyo. Zhao Go's edict has been published. Since it is conclusive, there is no joking. Many soldiers and civilians are looking forward to the emperor's coming.
Soon, a group of people in ragged clothes claiming to be Wu Ma Mountain Volunteers were sent to Yangzhou by the Song Army, and Huang Qianshan personally received the group of escaped "Wuma Mountain Volunteers." When asked for details, from the mouth of this group of "Wumashan Rebels", he learned that the Jinbing sent by Gaozong's secret envoy had already captured Wuma Mountain. The whole army of the Wumashan Rebels was annihilated, and the king of Xin Zhaozhen was captured again by the Jin soldiers.
A day later, a special envoy from Jin Guo came and sent a secret letter to Gaozong Zhao Gou. Tell Zhao Zhen of Gaozong Wuma Mountain and being captured by them, and arrogantly ask Gaozong Zhaogou to surrender unconditionally.
Zhao Gou didn't care about Jin Guo's arrogance, surrendering was dead, and he would not surrender. But he was unwilling to resist Jin Bing, he was afraid of Jin Bing, and he was more willing to guard half of the country as the emperor of the Golden State.
What delighted Zhao Gou the most was that when Zhao Zhen was captured by Jin Guo again, he had no potential threats. So there is no need for him to risk going to Tokyo Bianliang anymore, and leave it to Zongze to deal with it. It is the most important thing for him to protect his safety in the rear.
In the summer of the second year of Emperor Gao Zong’s Jianyan, Zong Ze, who was in bed, was heartbroken. Gaozong Zhao Gou didn't believe his words. He didn't come to terms. He deceived the army and civilians of Tokyo, and deceived the millions of militiamen in Lianghe. Everyone was panicked, some were disappointed, some were chilling, some were sad, and some were angry. Zongze, who was severely hit mentally, was already extremely disappointed with Zhao Gou.
On Zongze's hospital bed, a group of generals including Yue Fei and Wang Gui looked anxiously at the Great Song Yuzhu. Once Zongze, the optimistic jade pillar, fell, Da Song's anti-gold cause would probably be even more difficult.
At this time, a young general with a tiger's eye and heroic spirit was looking at Old Marshal Zongze with red eyes. This young general is no one else but the famous Yue Fei in the future.
