How faint in the battlefield. Warriors are like colonies of ants.
The sun is full of anger. Blood stained with basil purple.
Wuwu holds human flesh. Can't afford to fly.
The man in the city yesterday. Ghosts in the city today.
The flag color is like Luoxing. Suisheng has never stopped.
Concubine family husband and children. All in the sound.
"Zhancheng South" Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
—I am the dividing line —
In the scorching hot wind of early summer, the emergency report from Dasanguan brought the sad news of the small court in Shuzhong, and brought the cold to the bones.
There was news of the resurgence of the thieves in the Guan, but it was sick that he had personally reviewed and reorganized the yellow nests of all the people in the Guinei, and finally organized and organized a 50,000 army in the Guinei, with Gaihong as the first to go north and fight again. Within Fangzhou.
As a result, the Weibei Army was defeated by more than 20,000 people on the spot, and Li Xiaochang, one of the commanders of the town who was still loyal to the court, was still loyal to the court. Only the outer courtyards in the city stayed in the city. Go to the territory of Yinxia Suijiedu.
Then the Great Qi army turned to the west with the victory and pursued it, and then invaded Yuzhou (now Bin County, Shaanxi) within the territory of Jiedu, Jiedu. Jiedu made Li Chonggu dare not fight in the field and defended Xinping City to resist. As a result, he became a general Zhu Mei led the crowd to kill.
After that, Zhu Mei established himself as the envoy of the Jiedu Binning, and the thick coins of the humble words were passed to the Daqi court. After he had cut off many benefits, he was pardoned by Huang Chao and became the name of the new dynasty of Daqi. The thirteenth feudal town under.
At this time, Ximyeon was the last Fengxiang town that had not fallen into the Kansai barrier, and it was only then that he was shocked and panicked when he got the news.
In Fengtian City, the inner city where the prime minister Zheng Tian stayed was already surrounded by loud noises. However, when he appeared at the head of the city, these noisy soldiers died down again and became silent.
However, Zheng Tian didn't have much luck for this. Because Fengxiang's mansion was exhausted during the battle against Huang Ni, who was falsely known as Emperor Daqi, he gradually reduced the rewards for soldiers and cut his military salary.
Therefore, many dissatisfaction accumulated in the army as early as. It's just that under the constant external threat of the thief, I can only endure with the same hatred of the enemy, but now it is obviously a situation that can no longer be maintained.
Therefore, at the turn of the spring and summer, under the leadership of the marching Sima Li Changyan, these soldiers stationed in Xingpingping City gathered in the periphery, and took the capital of Fengtian City Gate, the capital of Fengxiang Jiedu, the capital of Fengxiang Jiedu on the grounds of asking for food. Entering the city, he put on the momentum of this raging soldiers' remonstrance.
"What do you want?. Take my head to cast a thief..."
Above the head of the livestock city, Zheng Tian, who described as motionless, spoke slowly.
However, upon hearing this, the turbulent Feng Xiang generals seemed to be shocked by him, and the uproar facing the pretender retreated, and then the generals headed by the marching Sima Li Changyan were revealed like a low tide. Zilai.
"How dare the villain harm Xiang Gong..."
I saw Li Changyan who was rude in appearance, but he knelt down to the ground and responded loudly.
"Shanggong has always been compassionate to my generation, and more of a kind of support... and An dared to offend a bit; but there are really some heartfelt words, and the hardship of last resort needs to be presented in person..."
At this point, his voice became more stern and anxious.
"Xiang Gong. My son Feng Xiang has shed enough blood for the court. Now it is the sick and exhausted camp, and the family is hungry and cold. Now I still dare not lose the court. I only ask Xiang Gong to give me the soldiers. Opportunities for first-line cultivation and vitality"
Li Changyan lived in grief under the city like weeping blood, and on the spot infected and affected the soldiers who had knelt down, and Qi Qi shouted back and forth loudly:
"Please give me a way to survive..."
"This dog staying together simply ignores the court's overall situation of begging for thieves;"
In Fengtian City, there were also generals who did not speak out, but it was Qi Kejian, the guardian envoy of Fengtian and the envoy of the right god.
"Please also ask me to lead me to take the initiative (battalion) athletes to take the lead, and together with the various passenger troops, send troops to quell these chaotic parties..."
Zheng Tian closed his eyes heartbroken and disappointed. He tried to maintain the situation for so long; he finally persisted until the internal chaos of the thief army in the city of Chang'an, and the three-way army collapsed and fled one after another.
Seeing the dawn of the offensive and defensive translocation of the officers and the army, and after a whole winter of gathering strength, it is only the last step to launch a counterattack and recover Chang'an; however, in the end, it is still inevitable that this previous achievement will be abandoned.
Although he still wanted to open his mouth and try to say something to these mutinous soldiers, the fatigue and depression of the long-term labor seemed to burst out completely at this moment; he suddenly felt a mouthful of blood in his throat, and again Slowly fainted in the moment amidst the exclamation of the city.
When Zheng Tian woke up again, it was already a day and a night; although the Fengxiang soldiers gathered in the city hadn't changed much, he had already made a basic decision.
Although he still has the Jingyuan Jiedu ambassador and the deputy chief of the recruiting camp in the rear, Cheng Zongchu, and the Shuofang Jiedu ambassador and recruiting battalion Sima Tang Hongfu and other generals, he can quell this mutiny for his support and backing;
But in the midst of incredibly discouraged fatigue and exhaustion, he was unwilling to destroy the military power loyal to the court even more in the fight to suppress these mutinous soldiers.
Even if he can quell this chaos and achieve a final victory, how can he rely on Fengxiang Town, which is greatly damaged and dilapidated, and is full of complaints, to resist the invasion and attack of those thieves.
Just two days later, in the name of Xingying Dutong, he successively repatriated the Liangzhou Army, Jingyuan Army, Tianxiong Army, Shuofang Army, and other guest armies; and personally posted a list of the Marching Sima in Fengxiang Town. Li Changyan stayed as an envoy of Jiedu.
Only then set up an ox cart with a small number of military officers and soldiers, and went down to Dasanguan along the Meridian Road. At the same time, there were also many teams of messengers carrying papers posted by the marching army, starting from Fengtian and crossing Xiaoguan.
They will pass through the borders of the Liangzhou Jiedu, and go to the Guiyi Army, Xizhou Huihu, Anxi Huihu, Yutian, Ge Lulu, Moya, Tuhun tribes, and even the remnants of the Tubo generation of the Hehuang generation to fight for And mobilize all the power that can be used by the court.
—I am the dividing line —
And in Dantu City in Jiangdong, news came with the annihilation of the last resistance of the three southern states. Zhou Huaian also signed a new military establishment order again; the ninth, tenth, and eleventh new army orders were established in Jiangdong.
Use the backbone veterans and officers selected from the other eight military orders as the framework, unified management of new (supplementary) battalions from Jiangxi and Liangling, reorganized battalions adapted from the local rebels and peripheral armed forces, and revenue reduction The temporary compilation of the camps.
The veteran Wang Chongyin is the ninth army general, Gao Jichang is the tenth army general, and Huo Cun is the eleventh army general. With the gradual takeover and replacement, the garrison missions of the battalions under the original Eastern Expeditionary Order have returned to the field standby sequence.
In this way, the Ninth Army stationed in western Zhejiang is tentatively set at 11,000 troops; the Tenth Army stationed in eastern Zhejiang is tentatively set at 13,000 troops; and Xuanshe Sanzhou 2 The Eleventh Army with ten counties as the garrison area only has 7,000 troops.
In addition, there are a total of one hundred and three counties in seventeen prefectures in Jiangdong, Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Xuanshe, and more than one hundred garrisons of various sizes will be re-established along with the subordinates of pro-minister officials and officials.
It maintains a garrison of approximately 35,000 to 40,000, with light infantry and boats as the mainstay, with a large number of injured and retired veterans and three squad members as the backbone.
In daily duties, it is subordinated to the dispatch and assignment of local government at all levels, and provides welfare allowances; in performance appraisal and personnel promotion, it is controlled by the chief governor of the capital; and the military training equipment and food rates are managed by the soldiers and guards department.
In addition, on the basis of the Liangling Sea Road Inspection Department, the organization was further expanded, and the Liangzhe Inspection Department was not established. With Wengshan County (now Zhoushan Islands) and the Ryukyu Island as berths, they are responsible for patrolling safety on sea roads. Fight against smuggling and robbery.
Therefore, in the end, once all the establishments are supplemented and tidied up, the various armed establishments in the Jiangdong two areas will reach 80,000 people; not counting the other Taiping troops stationed in the territory beforehand.
However, although the number seems to be quite large, compared to the more than three million adult populations detected locally, nearly one million households are not a big deal; it is almost at the level of twelve households raising one soldier.
In the first year of Dangbizhen, the burden of raising one soldier in three or four households in the world; or the standard of supporting one soldier in five or six households in the feudal towns of the same time, it is nothing at all. It is also an economically developed area where manufacturing/handicrafts and trade flourish.
You must know that the former separatist forces that occupied a state and claimed to be defenders often claimed to be tens of thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They were annihilated, defeated and surrendered by the Taiping Army. Up.
In the ongoing security wars and local remediation, there are probably tens of thousands of local soil groups and village soldiers that have been wiped out in a piecemeal manner, as well as bandits and rebels of various colors who circulate or occupy the mountains and forests.
Therefore, in the next half a year, the Metropolitan Government, which is transferred to Yanwu Xiuwen and consolidated its digestive state, will also have a lot of things to be busy and more new problems to face.
For Zhou Huai'an, the latest piece of good news is that the women in the back house in Jiangling will also come to reunite with the ship group. To this end, Zhou Huai'an gave the priority to rebuild Jiangning New City.
After all, although Jiangning City has been destroyed for nearly three hundred years since the Sui Dynasty, its natural geographical advantage as a Yangtze River transit hub and military hub has not changed much.
Especially when Yangzhou is still in the hands of hostile forces, it is very important to re-dred and open the silted and abandoned waterways and lanes to connect and revitalize the various water systems in the east of the Yangtze River, and to make full use of the water transportation system in the south of the Yangtze River. It's necessary. (End of this chapter)
