Chapter 727: Unification of the North
"This is yours." Zhao Xu gave Xu Lie a look.
Like Liu Fu and Yang He, he also gave Chang Wei and Yang Feng a booklet.
The above is what he mentioned in-depth reform content.
After all, the short time from now to the launch of the steamship is a rare window period, which is very suitable for reform.
He wanted to make a big move in the past, but it was inconvenient due to the involvement of the war.
This time, in addition to the change in the name of the general's position, Yang Feng and Chang Wei were also required to form the General Staff Department.
Its main task is to collect and provide battlefield intelligence from generals, to replace equipment in charge of military personnel, as well as military training, management, etc.
During the contemporary Napoleon period, the General Staff appeared, whose responsibilities were equivalent to military advisors, responsible for providing combat advice to generals.
The most important thing is that this is a regularization of the army.
The modern army's victory over the feudal army was not only in firearms, but also in excellent military system.
The court talks started in the morning and continued until noon.
He also discussed many details of the precautions with the officials and generals, and Zhao Xu asked everyone to disperse.
Leave the palace.
Chang Wei asked Liu Fu mysteriously, "I heard that Your Highness is going to get married? Is it the granddaughter of Duke Yi?"
"That's right, Your Highness has worked hard for Yanzhou. He is twenty years old and has not yet gotten married. The other princes are married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Now Your Highness has finally met a good man. It's really a matter of our worries." Liu Fu hugged his arms, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
Chang Wei nodded, "Indeed, but it's a pity. I'm a step late for me to come back..."
When Liu Fu heard this, he looked at Chang Wei with a serious look on his face and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "You don't want your daughter to marry His Highness, do you? I remember that your daughter is less than ten years old this year."
"So what? You can be a child bride." Chang Wei glanced at Liu Fu sideways.
"Hahaha..." Liu Fu couldn't help laughing, "Take it aside, your daughter looks 80% similar to you, she really married Your Highness. When Your Highness got up in the middle of the night, she thought she had slept with you."
"You should be so stupid, I must beat you today." Chang Wei jumped up and scolded, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat him.
Liu Fu took two steps at a time, but he reached Yang Feng's side, giving Chang Wei a provocative look.
It means that he dares to take action, so he stabs his words to Duke Yi.
Seeing this, Chang Wei had to stop in disappointment.
He doesn't want to provoke this veteran.
Furthermore, he was just a pity that he was not as knowledgeable and well-educated as Yang Zhen, and was both talented and beautiful.
Otherwise, he would really fight.
Back to the General's Mansion of Beidaying.
While he and Yang Feng were looking through the booklet given to them by the King of Yan, he was preparing to reorganize the royal family's personal army.
While giving orders to Qin Shan and Guan Tong in Yangcheng, they asked their troops to lead their troops to go to Xiangcheng and pacify the power tribes in the north of the Yangtze River.
Jingzhou is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, adjacent to Bozhou.
Qinshan and Guantong set out from Yangcheng, and you only need to cross Bozhou to reach Jingzhou, the distance is only more than 300 miles.
After five days of trekking, Qinshan and Guantong led more than 8 people and tens of thousands of troops to arrive.
Originally, their fifteen army crossed the river, and Lu Chang took away 30,000 and stayed in Yangcheng 30,000.
Some soldiers were killed and injured from Qizhou to Yangcheng.
There is only this number they can take away.
...
Jingzhou.
Xiangcheng.
Another royal army came from the east, and the news spread to Xiangcheng as soon as possible.
Royal Palace.
After a brief hesitation, Dou Wei said to Dou Mu: "Emperor, the three families of the Si tribes crossed the river and are now confronting the King of Yan across the Jiujiang River, which allows the King of Yan to pull out most of his troops to concentrate on dealing with my Nanliang."
Dou Mu's face was pale. During this period, the situation of sudden deterioration made him unable to sleep every night.
Xiao Cheng returned to Xiangcheng from Qizhou, and Ma Han's troops retreated northward and returned to Wuguan.
But if Xiao Cheng's army and the Beidi cavalry showed signs of leaving, they would come back.
It has always made the Nanliang army and the Beidi cavalry unable to move.
This made them unable to provide support to the other three families.
Now, Nanliang is afraid that they will be criticized for being treasonous again.
The Xie family and other powerful tribes will never trust them again.
Therefore, they will definitely not help the current crisis in Nanliang.
"The three families are not the opponents of the King of Yan. I am afraid that the Nanliang general will be alone. If the Ma family and the Yan King's army from the east are attacked from both sides of the east and the north, I am afraid that the fall of Xiangcheng will be in front of me." Dou Mu looked depressed.
This period of time has been enough for them to see the power of the Ma family's soldiers.
The firearms used by these Ma family soldiers have a long range and are powerful.
Their soldiers fought with them purely to die.
After the Beidi cavalry returned to Xiangcheng, they tried to encircle and suppress the Ma family's army.
But after encountering the opponent's hollow square formation and leaving thousands of corpses, he never dared to attack rashly again.
According to the response of the Beidi cavalry, they could shoot and kill their cavalry two hundred meters away.
And the opponent's bullets are as accurate as bows and arrows.
Two hundred meters, this is a distance that they can't believe at all, not to mention that they are so accurate.
This eventually destroyed their confidence.
However, before the three families of Shi tribes moved south, they were still lucky.
I hope Liang Kai takes action and defeats the King of Yan with the three families.
But the actual situation is that the three families crossed the south, and the Wu Kingdom took the opportunity to attack Xiangzhou, causing him to be attacked from both sides of Nanliang.
There is no other place for the Dou family to establish in Jiangnan.
"So, before our Dou family's troops were lost to the hands of the King of Yan, we should make a quick decision and retreat to Yizhou. With the natural danger of one man in Yizhou as a barrier that cannot be opened, we should resist the King of Yan." Dou Wei advised, "Otherwise, if we lose our troops, how can we suppress the Xiao family when we go to Yizhou?"
Dou Mu nodded. From the beginning, their strategy was to protect the Dou family's troops.
This is the capital of their Dou family and the foundation for whether Nanliang can continue to exist.
"Since that's the case, before the Yanzhou troops arrived in Xiangcheng, they would retreat to Yizhou now. But in this way, the entire Jiangbei fell into the hands of the King of Yan." Dou Mu's face was painful.
He was determined to beat the King of Yan, but he was very anxious in his heart when facing the cruel reality again and again.
Dou Wei patted Dou Mu on the shoulder, "Emperor, keep the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood. Yizhou has been known as the country of Tianfu since ancient times. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you manage it with your heart, it will be more than ten times better than Jingzhou, and there is no need to regret it."
After pausing, he continued: "Besides, Beidi is attacking Tubo. After going to Yizhou, we can back to Beidi in the future. It will not be too late to recover our vitality in the future and regain Jingzhou."
Dou Mu nodded slightly.
After deciding on this matter, Dou Mu officially ordered the capital to be moved to Yizhou.
Immediately, they left some troops to guard Xiangcheng and cut off the rear. Hundreds of thousands of troops emerged from the south gate of Xiangcheng and headed towards Yizhou.
