Chapter 673 Will be a guest of the king's gate,

How confused is the battlefield? Warriors are like ants.

The sun is red with heavy energy and blood stains the purple basil.

The black and white man holds human flesh. You can't afford to eat.

Yesterday, the city is on the city, today the city is on the city.

The flag is like the Luoxing. The sound of the turtle is still far away.

My husband and son are all in the sound of the turtle.

"Fighting in the South of the City" Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

——I am the dividing line—

In the hot wind in early summer, urgent reports from the Dasanguan area brought bad news to the small and medium-sized courts in Shu, which were full of coldness.

There was news of the resurgence of the thief in the pass, but Huang Chao, who had arrived at the horse while sick, personally reviewed and reorganized all the troops in the Jin Dynasty. Finally, he reorganized and organized an army of 50,000 in the Jin Dynasty, and took Gai Hong as the vanguard to go north and then fight in Fangzhou.

As a result, more than 20,000 Weibei troops who fought on the spot were defeated, and Li Xiaochang, the governor of Fufang, who was still loyal to the court, was killed. Only a few people, Yu Hou Dongfang Kui, who were left behind in the city, were spared and led the remaining troops to retreat to the territory of the governor of Yinxia Sui.

Then the Great Qi army took advantage of the victory and turned westward, and then attacked Binzhou (now Bin County, Shaanxi Province) within the territory of the Bining Jiedushi. The Jiedushi Li Chonggu did not dare to fight in the field and defended Xinping City to resist. As a result, his general Zhu Mei led his troops to attack and kill him.

Later, Zhu Mei made herself the governor of Bining, and then said that the rich money from the Great Qi court was saved. After promising to seize many benefits, she was pardoned by Huang Chao and became the thirteenth vassal state under the name of the Xin Dynasty of Daqi.

At this time, the west side was the last Fengxiang Town that had not fallen into the barrier of Guanxi, and then it was shocked and panicked when it received the news.

In Fengtian City, the inner city where Prime Minister Zheng Tsing lived was surrounded by a large buzz. However, when he appeared on the top of the city, the clamored soldiers stopped and became silent.

However, Zheng Ting was not very grateful for this. Because in the battle with Huang Ni, who was falsely known as the Emperor of the Great Qi, Fengxiang's treasury was exhausted, so he gradually reduced the rewards to his soldiers and reduced military salaries.

Therefore, it has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in the army. However, under the external threat of great thieves, they can only endure the same hatred and the enemy, but now it is obviously a situation where they can no longer be maintained.

Therefore, at this turn of spring and summer, led by the march Sima Li Changyan, these soldiers stationed in Xingping and other cities on the periphery were able to gather together and seize the key points of Fengtian City Gate, the capital of Fengxiang Jiedushi, on the grounds of seeking grain, and then poured into the city, showing this turbulent military admonition.

"What do you want to do? Use my head to throw it into the thief?"

The livestock city was described as Zheng Ting, who was still moving, slowly opened his voice.

However, when he heard this, the Fengxiang soldiers, who were originally in a turbulent crowd, seemed to be shocked by them, and the uproar of face-to-face scattered, and then they revealed the figure of the general led by Sima Li Changyan, who was marching like a tide.

"How dare the villain harm my husband..."

I saw Li Changyan, who was magnanimous and generous, kneeling down on the ground and responding loudly, as if he was pushing the golden mountain and turning his back on his face.

"My husband has always been sympathetic and kind to support us. How dare you offend me? It's just that I have some heartfelt words and the unscrupulous difficulties need to be presented in person."

Speaking of this, his voice became more shrill and anxious.

"My husband, my Fengxiang children have already shed enough blood for the court. Now they are full of injuries and fatigue, and the family is hungry and cold. At present, they still dare not let the court down. I just want my husband to give me the opportunity to cultivate and rest in the front line."

Li Changyan was so sad that he was weeping blood under the city. He infected and affected the soldiers who were kneeling down on the ground on the spot, and shouted loudly:

"Please give me a way out..."

"What this dog servant is simply ignoring the overall situation of the court's fight against the thieves;"

There were also generals on the top of the city in Fengtian who spoke indignantly, but it was the Fengtian guard commander and the right Shenjian military commander Qi Kejian.

"I would like to ask my husband to lead the right sect (battlefield) athletes to join the various guest troops to send troops to combat these rebellions..."

Zheng Ting closed his eyes in pain and disappointment. He tried hard to maintain the situation for so long. Finally, the thieves in Chang'an City changed civil strife, and the three armies collapsed and retreated one after another.

Seeing the dawn of the official army's offensive and defense relocation, after a whole winter of life and strength, we were just one step away from sending troops to counterattack and restoring Chang'an; however, is it inevitable that this result of wasting all previous efforts?

Although he still wanted to open his mouth and try to say something to these mutiny soldiers, the exhaustion and anxiety of long-term hard work seemed to burst out completely at this moment; he suddenly felt a sweet throat and vomited blood, and slowly fainted in the moment with a scream on the top of the city.

It was already a day and a night after Zheng Ting woke up again; although the Fengxiang soldiers gathered in the city had not had much movement, he had already made a basic decision.

Although he also had the Jingyuan Jiedushi and the deputy commander of the Zhaodanxingying camp, Cheng Zongchu, the Shuofang Jiedushi and the generals of Sima Tang Hongfu, the support and support of the Chaodanxingying camp, which could quell the mutiny;

However, in the midst of extremely discouraged fatigue and fatigue, he was unwilling to suppress these mutiny soldiers and lose his military strength that was still loyal to the court.

Even if he can quell this chaos and achieve the final victory, what can he do? Will Fengxiang Town, which is broken and has a lot of complaints, resist the invasion of those thieves?

Just two days later, he sent back various guest troops, including the Liangzhou Army, Jingyuan Army, Tianxiong Army, and Shuofang Army in the name of the Xingying Commander; he also personally sent a letter to post a report to the marching of Fengxiang Town, Sima Li Changyan, as the Jiedushi, stayed as the governor.

Then he set up a ox cart and took a few Shence soldiers to the south along Ziwu Road and headed for Dasan Pass. At the same time, many teams of messengers carrying the camp army's written documents set out from Fengtian and crossed Xiao Pass.

They will pass through the territory of the Liangzhou Jiedushi and go to Guiyi Army, Xizhou Uighurs, Anxi Uighurs, Khotan, Gelulu, Mozhan, and even the remnants of Tubo in Hehuang generation, and strive for and mobilize all the power that can be used by the court.

——I am the dividing line—

In Dantu City in Jiangdong, with the news that the last resistance force in the three southern states was annihilated, Zhou Huaian also signed a new military establishment order again; the ninth, tenth and eleventh new military orders were established locally in Jiangdong.

The backbone veterans and officers drawn from the other eight military orders were used as a framework to unify the new (supplementary) battalions from Jiangxi and Liangling, and the reorganized battalions adapted from the local rebel army and peripheral armed forces, as well as the temporary battalions that were captured and surrendered.

The veteran Wang Chongyin was the right general of the Ninth Army, Gao Jichang was the second general of the 10th Army, and Huo Cun was the second general of the 11th Army. With the gradual takeover and replacement, the garrison tasks of the battalions in the original order of the Eastern Expedition Army returned to the field standby sequence.

The Ninth Army stationed in western Zhejiang in this way is tentatively set to be 11,000 troops; the Tenth Army stationed in eastern Zhejiang is tentatively set to be 13,000 troops; and the 11th Army, which has 20 counties in the three prefectures and 20 counties in Xuanshe, has only 7,000 troops.

In addition, Jiangdong and Zhejiang, Xuanshe, a total of 17 prefectures and 103 counties will be rebuilt with the followers of the people-friendly officials and officials who have successively taken office.

It is not enough to maintain a garrison system of about 35,000 to 40,000, light infantry and boats, with a large number of retired veterans with injuries and members of the third detachment as the backbone.

In daily service, it is subject to the dispatch and assignment of local governments at all levels, and provides welfare allowances; in terms of performance appraisal and personnel promotion, it is controlled by the Yuhou Department of the Grand Governor's Office; and in military training equipment, food and salary, it is managed by the Military Control Department.

In addition, the establishment was further expanded on the basis of the Liangling Sea Road Inspection Department, and the Liangzhe Inspection Department was set up; Wengshan County (now Zhoushan Islands) and Ryukyu Island were used as the berths to be taken care of on-shore patrol safety and crack down on smuggling and robbery.

Therefore, once all the organization is fully replenished, the various armed organizations in Jiangdong will reach a huge number of 80,000 people; it is not included in the other Taiping Army who were stationed in advance.

However, although there are quite a lot of people, compared with the more than 3 million adult population included in the local inspection, nearly one million households are nothing; it is almost the same as the level of twelve households supporting one soldier.

When it comes to the burden of three or four households in the world in the Zhenyuan period, or the standard for five or six households to support one soldier among the vassal states of the same era was nothing. Moreover, this is an economically developed region with prosperous manufacturing/handicrafts and trade.

You should know that those separatist forces who occupied a state before claiming to be guards were often known as tens of thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They were successively annihilated, defeated and surrendered by the Taiping Army, and were afraid that there were not nearly 100,000 troops.

As for other local land groups and rural soldiers who were fragmented and eliminated during the continuous public security war and local rectification, there were probably tens of thousands of bandits and riots who were tragic or occupied the mountains and forests.

Therefore, in the next six months, the Grand Governor's Office, which has moved to the state of cultivation of martial arts and culture, consolidated its digestive state, also has many things to be busy with and more new problems to face.

For Zhou Huaian, the latest good news is: the women in the back house of Jiangling will soon be reunited with them with the transfer ship. For this reason, Zhou Huaian issued an order to give priority to rebuilding Jiangning New City.

After all, although Jiangning City has been destroyed for nearly three hundred years since the Sui Dynasty, its natural geographical advantages as a hub for the Yangtze River and a military priority have not changed much.

Especially when Yangzhou is still in the hands of hostile forces, it is very necessary to re-drift and open up silted and abandoned waterways to connect and revitalize various water systems in Jiangdong and make full use of the canal transportation system in Jiangnan.
