Chapter 985: Sanggan Town
Chapter 983 Sanggan Town
From Luoyang to Bianzhou, golden wheat fields can be seen everywhere along the way.
When the war has subsided, the people can sow seeds and harvest calmly. Duty-free gives them a chance to breathe, just like the dry and cracked earth is nourished by the gurgling spring water, and vitality is gradually recovering.
The vitality of wild grass is very tenacious, and the vitality of the people in the Central Plains is also tenacious.
It’s not that we can’t “hard” and continue to exploit it, but why bother? We are all people who want to be emperor, and we will exempt some money, grain and taxes, and get praise from the people. Isn’t it good? Shao Dashang still has this point
Very "vanity".
When he passed by Zhengzhou, he specially met with local "public opinion representatives", all of whom were relocated Wuwei Army families.
In fact, the soldiers don’t like to buy land because no one farms. Their income is enough to ensure that the whole family lives comfortably, and they can eat meat from time to time, and it’s just like whether they grow or not.
This is a very difficult mentality to understand, but the Five Dynasties of Imperial Guards in history did. It is impossible to farm, and they can only maintain their lives by relying on the emperor's reward. Rushing into the palace and robbing is like returning home.
When the emperor and the ministers are not good at speaking, they will change to speaking nicely.
More than half of the Wuwei Army's family are still farming. This is a good tradition brought from Guanxi. Shao Shude specially rewarded some soldiers with good farming. One family gave two pieces of silk and a shred of money and told them to persist.
Go down.
As for others, they don’t force them. Some people are willing to let their sons practice martial arts all day long. Farming will squeeze out a lot of time to practice martial arts. It’s understandable, let him go.
Four of the imperial guards of various tribes have moved to the surrounding areas of Luoyang. Among them, the Wuwei army's family is in Zhengzhou, the Tielin army's family is in Ruzhou, the Yi army is in Ruzhou, and half is in Henan Prefecture, and the Tiande army is in Henan Prefecture.
After a while, the family of Tianxiong Army will also begin to relocate and be collectively placed in Henan Prefecture.
There is no doubt that Henan Prefecture does not have so much land for people to farm. Even if the soldiers of Tianxiong Army want to purchase land, they are probably not enough. Fortunately, not everyone wants to farm, so it is almost enough. Henan Prefecture is still
There is only about 378,000 people, and before the conflicts between people and land broke out, if you squeeze in, you can arrange another imperial guard.
When she was in Bianzhou, Shao Shude, Chen Cheng and Pei Di had a long conversation.
The Xuanwu Army's shogunate manages the seven prefectures of Bian Song, Boying, Chen Cai and Hua - Shanzhou has just been abolished - are all wealthy Central Plains prefectures and counties. Although there is no resources to start agricultural reform, even if you rest in the traditional way, you can take a breath.
In the future, it will remain an economic center for the New Dynasty.
Shao Shude expressed satisfaction with Chen Cheng's governance. Local officials have quietly changed a lot, and the folk customs have improved greatly. The rule has become increasingly stable. This is a sure political achievement, and Shao Shude remembers it in his heart.
"The essence of the battle between Xia and Jin dynasties is to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. This is also my experience of using troops for many years." Shao Shude talked happily in the Jiedu Mansion: "My advantage is that there are more soldiers and more money, and I can withstand failure. Li Keyong
The advantage lies in the Hedong area, as well as internal unity and stability, and unity of the outside world. My strategy is to carry forward my advantages and dismantle Li Keyong's advantages. For Hedong and even Hebei officials and generals, you can focus on winning over them and keep them away from Li
This is a great implementation of Xuanwu Town. There are many merchants and scholars traveling to Bianzhou in Hebei. They are not simple, but there are many people behind them. It is absolutely true that they work harder.
of."
The battle between Xia and Jin dynasties has calmed down. It is in the stage where the Jin army dare not go south, afraid of repeating the same mistakes, and the Xia army does not want to go north to attack. Moreover, the Jiedushi Wang Yao has just "entered to the North", so the internal situation is not
Too stable - Yes, he refused to go to Chang'an, so he ran to Luoyang and got into a house. At the same time, he received the promise that he could become the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple after the founding of the new dynasty.
On the Heyang battlefield, after Tianxiong's army failed to attack Tianjing Pass, there was no movement anymore, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The same is true for the Xingming Magnetic Battlefield. Shao Shude has not launched an offensive on this yet, and the Jin army does not want to provoke a war on its own initiative.
The only active thing is Yun Wei, who has just started to ignite the war.
"The strategy set by the king has always been correct." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Don't say that these useless things all day long." Shao Shude deliberately raised his face and said, "Hebei is not that easy to capture. Even the weakest Henghai Town should not be underestimated."
Speaking of Henghai Town, it has been a disaster recently.
The Jiedushi Lu Yanwei took advantage of the main force of the Xia army to besiege Yan, Yi, Hai and other places, and thought he had gotten the opportunity and went south to plunder Dizhou.
After tasting the sweetness for the first time, Cang Bing returned and ended up hitting the troops sent by Li Tangbin to reinforce.
In the Battle of Leling, the bandit army was defeated, more than a thousand beheaded, and two thousand were captured.
Last month, the bandit army attacked from Dezhou and was in full force. Both sides formed a formation in the suburbs of Pingchang. The commander of the Qizhou Prefecture Army Wang Jiao broke into the formation, killed two bandit soldiers, captured a team of straight soldiers alive and returned. The bandit army was in a state of power.
In Daju, more than 5,000 people were defeated by one blow, and even Pingchang County was seized.
Lu Yanwei was helpless and immediately asked Wang Rong for help. Wang Rong sent 10,000 troops into Dezhou. At the Battle of Majiahe, he defeated the Tielin Army and captured more than a thousand people, which stabilized the situation.
But Lu Yanwei no longer wants to fight. He is now blindly seeking back to Pingchang County, so he naturally has no response.
"King, don't just stare at Henghai Town. Luo Shaowei prepares troops in Weizhou and actively cooperates with Li Keyong. It seems that he will fight me sooner or later." Chen Cheng said: "If you don't take back the two states of Xiangwei, Luo Shaowei can't explain it if you don't take them back.
Yes. This battle will definitely be fought sooner or later. Maybe he is waiting for Li Keyong to send troops."
"This matter is not unreasonable." Shao Shude said: "But it is still important to capture Henan now."
Inside Weibo Town, there is a pot of boiling water now, and Luo Shaowei can hardly hold it back. If he doesn't want to die, he must lead his army to fight back to the prime minister. Perhaps he has a connection with Li Keyong at the moment.
But it doesn't matter. You hit yours and I hit mine. This is the right way.
*******
Outside Sanggan Town, the pursuit of a large group of cavalry has been going on for half a day.
Yang Yue stood on a high slope, a little angry.
Although I have watched the battles of the foreign cavalry countless times, the more I look at them, the more I become angry, and the more I look at them, the more I feel uncomfortable.
A weird way of fighting!
Some of them fought each other, rode horses and shot arrows on the vast grassland, and circled each other.
Some of them sat on the grass and rested, ready to take over.
Some people are actually grazing!
A bunch of poor people couldn't even bear to feed their horses with food. How long does it take to eat grass to eat enough to have strength? It's not as good as the Khitans, at least they have serious agriculture and plant large areas of millet, and they know that they are not that good at fighting.
When you spend more time grazing, you will feed them with food so that you can invest more troops in time.
So Lao Yang couldn't help but order and took the initiative. The three thousand cavalrymen who had been waiting for a long time to enter the field.
A brown torrent rushed straight down the hillside, bypassing the edge of the battlefield, and penetrated diagonally from the side and rear.
Under the protection of his personal troops, the military envoy Zhe Siyu drew his bows left and right, killing several people in a row.
The personal soldier made a strange cry and rushed in with a short horse spear.
When the grassland herders fought, their formation was already loose, and they dispersed directly under the charge of the "high-density" iron cavalry.
Most of the people went to the distance and tried to pull their bows and shoot. As a result, the Tibetan clan and the tribes of the Qie family rushed over again, and a rain of arrows hit the thieves, causing the thieves to disperse in a mess.
"That's right!" Yang Yue grinned and her white beard fluttered in the wind.
The "high-density" cavalry charge requires long-term training, tacit cooperation, and strict discipline. Otherwise, it is easy to get into chaos when rushing, and you hit me and I hit me, which will hinder each other. It is better to follow the grassland than to follow the grassland
Traditionally, let’s play riding and shooting slowly torture the enemy.
The thief rode to the depths of the grassland and dared not look back.
Tibetan talents and the foreign soldiers of the Qibi tribe continued to pursue, without any worries.
The Iron Cavalry slowly gathered their troops and returned. They had armor. According to the definition of the Xia army, they were medium-sized cavalry. They could not catch up with the enemy, and there was no need to chase them. They could just act as the final word on the battlefield.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The war drum sounded again.
The warriors of the Flying Dragon Army stood up from the grass, formed a formation, and rushed directly to Sanggan Town.
Sanggan Town is located in the northwest of Ying County in later generations. Sanggan Water and Huishui (Sanggan Henan Source) converge here. It was the former land of Sanggan County in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The town was established in the Sui Dynasty. The state dynasty was followed by it and was located between Shuo and Yunzhou.
, the land belongs to Yunzhou.
Since this area has mulberry and Gan water and its tributaries, the water and grass are abundant, and it has always been a fierce competition between the vassal tribes of the Xia and Jin Dynasties. Because it is close to Yanmen Pass, the nomadic Tuyuhun tribe here belongs to Hedong.
Historically, Sanggan Town would establish states in a few years, namely Yingzhou. In order to obtain the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and Yingzhou was one of them, belonging to the Jingdao of Western Liao.
Well, in terms of the environment here, it is quite in line with the appetite of the nomadic peoples.
The warriors of the Flying Dragon Army yelled and charged with arrows flying from the town.
During the charge, some people kept getting caught and fell down. Some people were stuck with arrows, shaking and shaking up to continue rushing forward, while others never got up again.
"Crazy!" The wooden ladder was placed on the top of the city, and the soldiers rushed up. As a result, the ladder suddenly fell, and the warriors who climbed up fell all over the ground. Countless large and small pieces of soil fell on their heads.
Time is filled with dust and smoke.
The people of Xia and Jin were confused.
The Flying Dragon Army envoy Liang Hanfeng looked at him carefully, but saw a large piece of collapse in the city of Sanggan Town.
This...the quality of this city wall is too poor!
But the matter was not over yet, and with more than ten ladders mounted there, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the entire city wall collapsed.
Mr. Cao Yi! The defenders were heartbroken. But they had no time to regret it. The ecstatic Flying Dragon Army soldiers rushed in along the gap. More than a thousand defenders could not stop them. The Tuyuhun shepherd hiding in the city also inspired his wildness.
He took the weapon, but was still defeated.
Their resistance aroused the strong anger of the martial artists of the Feilong Army. They waved their long spears and heavy swords, chopped when they saw people, stabbed when they saw people, and stabbed when they saw people, regardless of whether you are a soldier or a civilian, or an old man or a young man,
Kill them all.
Feilong Army, who had been remediated due to discipline issues, has resurrected the same thing again.
The foreign soldiers and civilians in Sanggan Town learned their cruel methods.
Yang Yue was unmoved and seemed to have not seen it. On the contrary, he highly praised their bravery.
Chapter completed!
