"To sum up, Bohai is currently in a de facto dispute between two parties. The trigger of the dispute is whether to continue to pay tribute to Chang'an. Judging from the current development situation, the initial verbal argument has turned into a armed fight, and the focus of the fight has changed. Whether to turn against the Tang Dynasty and establish independence. According to the analysis of the headquarters, the essence of the dispute between the two parties is the struggle for power between the emerging powerful people and the old forces in Bohai State.
As mentioned just now, the new party headed by Prime Minister Zhu Chengming is reaching out to the military power of the Bohai Kingdom. The core forces are the Zhu family, the Jin family, and the Cui family, while the old party is trying its best to protect itself. The old party should be represented by the big royal family. Including the five clans of Da, Gao, Wu, Yang and Li - in the past two hundred years, no matter how the Bohai court changed, these five clans have always firmly controlled the two armies and ten guards.
There is evidence that the five clans have already split, and the split is concentrated in the Da clan and the Gao clan. According to intelligence, the leading factor in the split is the Prime Minister Zhu Chengming. Because of him, the Crown Prince Dazhuan and the Gao clan chief Gao Yaoren He has separated from his own camp and joined the new party..."
The person who analyzed the combat situation to the officers was Han Yanhui, one of the eight Yuhous of the Huaiyue-Yuhou Joint Headquarters. Because he admired Li Chengzhong's "Datangism" policy, he himself formed a personal cult of Li Chengzhong, and his words and deeds were full of typical Li Chengzhong style. ——This is also the trend that is rising among most officers of the Yingzhou Army and some civil servants in the Changshi Mansion. Han Yanhui's eloquent talk attracted everyone's full attention. When he reached this point, he was finally interrupted and raised his hand. The person who interrupted him was Jie Li, who was originally the scout of the state army, Dudutou, and was newly transferred to command the 1st Battalion of the Huaiyu Allied Cavalry.
"Crown Prince? Chief of the Gao clan? Is the intelligence correct? With their status, would they betray their own surname?" Jie Li looked confused. He asked the question that existed in the minds of most of the officers in the room.
"The information is correct. Prime Minister Zhu Chengming made a promise to the crown prince Dazhen to help him ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and imitate the old affairs of the great ancestor of this dynasty. Let the king Daweijing ascend to the throne. As for Gao Yaoren, Zhu Chengming promised that he would be granted the title of Yalu Mansion in Xijing. ." Han Yanhui explained.
"If they don't even believe me, how can they?" Xie Li couldn't believe it.
"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. Unfortunately, both of the above people believed it." Han Yanhui looked apologetic and helpless, which caused a burst of laughter from the officers in the war room.
Li Chengzhong signaled Han Yanhui to continue, and Han Yanhui nodded and continued: "The troops going to the capital are two armies and two guards, that is, the two armies of left and right Shence and the left and right Xiaowei. These are also the armies controlled by the royal family. It is said that the Prime Minister Zhu Chengming has mastered the left and right Shence The two armies and Zuo Xiaowei, according to the Bohai ** Guard establishment, the first army guard is full of 5,000 people. Zhu Chengming has 15,000 troops in his hands, which is the main combat target faced by the Huaiyue Allied Forces and Yingzhou Army in the future. At the same time, there are 5,000 Youxiao guards in Beijing who are gradually falling into the hands of Zhu Chengming. The original commander of the army is the king's brother, and the grand descendant of Honglu Temple is also under house arrest."
The commander of the Second Battalion of the Huaiyue Allied Cavalry was Xue Jisheng, the former Yuhou of the Yingzhou Army Cavalry Battalion. He also raised his hand to interrupt and asked: "Where are the troops commanded by the four families of Wu, Yang, Li, and Gao?"
Han Yanhui said: "The Wushi army was in Nanjing to guard against the Silla civil war in the south and was unable to go north. The Yang army established a defense line in Mojiang to defend against the Khitan Diela tribe, while the Li army was stationed in the east to guard Heishui Mohe and Tieli. They have no energy to take care of going to the capital when they belong to other tribes. As for the Gao family..."
Having said this, Han Yanhui glanced at all the officers in the room. His voice suddenly increased by three points, and he said with pride: "On the first day of this month, the Yuhou Division of the Yingzhou Army Headquarters is engaged in the United Front Work Department, and the Bohai State Trade and Industry General Office Gao Mingbo leads the 70 martyrs.
The two of them, after a night of bloody fighting, had conquered Xijing. That night, they captured alive Gao Yaoren, the leader of the Gao family, and dozens of civil and military officials below Gao Yaozhi, the patriarch, and controlled the entire city of Xijing. Most of the left and right leading troops and guards under the Gao family were already in Zhengzhou.
The remaining three thousand people have already bypassed Xijing and went to Beitou."
Because the Joint Headquarters Yuhou present here had An Duanquan, Pu Enchen and Begong to buy three Khitans, Han Yanhui did not reveal the identity of Gao Mingbo's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, let alone Zhang Xiaohua and other ten operatives, and only generally referred to them as "Seven Martyrs"
Twelve people' title.
An Duanquan and others were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't help but asked on the spot: "Seventy-two people? Capture Xijing? Han Yuhou, are you kidding?"
Han Yanhui laughed and said: "During the military discussion, Han Mouan dared to talk nonsense? According to news from Xijing, that night, Gao Mingbo had an appointment with Pei Ting, the young eunuch of the Academy of Literature and Literature. Pei Ting summoned the civil and military dignitaries of Xijing to Gao Yaoren's house for a drink
, Gao Mingbo gathered seventy-two martyrs who suddenly rushed out, defeated three groups of Bohai Navy soldiers who had set up obstacles on the way, and unexpectedly broke into Gao Yaoren's general's mansion, capturing all the civil and military officials attending the banquet in the mansion. Later, in Pei Tinghe's camp,
With the help of the other two elders of the Gao family, Gao Yaoyi and Gao Yaoli, they took control of the entire city's army and recruited the right leading army guard to Xijing, under the banner of 'Qingjun side'."
After hearing this, Qihuomai took a long breath and secretly admired the United Front Worker named Gao Mingbo. Suddenly he remembered that this person seemed to be the deputy envoy who signed the "Huaiyuan Treaty" with himself, An Duanquan and others. He couldn't help but
He looked at Li Chengzhong, who was sitting first in the center, and sighed to himself, with such a capable person under his command, no wonder Li Chengzhong has risen so quickly.
Han Yanhui continued: "Currently, the Yingzhou Governor's Office has received a formal request for help jointly sent by Pei Ting, Gao Yaoyi, Gao Yaoren and other important Bohai ministers, saying that the Manchu civil and military officials below the Bohai Commandery Prince Da Weijing and the Honglu Temple Minister are the best
He was held hostage by Zhu Chengming and prayed to our Yingzhou Governor's Office to send troops. Governor Li forwarded this article to the Huaiyue Yuhou Joint Headquarters for disposal. Yesterday, the Yuhou Headquarters held a joint meeting of Yuhou. The eight Yuhou unanimously agreed that Zhu Chengming, the Prime Minister of Bohai State,
has begun its separatist behavior, trying to separate the Bohai Kingdom from the Tang Dynasty and form a de facto independence, which violates the "Law to Prevent the Split of the Tang Dynasty" stipulated by Yingzhou. The Huaiyue Allied Forces should immediately send troops to quell the rebellion and restore the legitimacy of the Bohai Sea.
.The above is an analysis of the war situation.”
After hearing what he said, An Duanquan and Pu Dichen couldn't help but grin. "We agree." An Duanquan remembered that when the joint meeting of Yuhou was held yesterday, Pu Dichen asked cautiously if he could send troops ten days later.
So that the coalition forces can be more fully prepared. This was a test to test the bottom line of the Yuhou Joint Headquarters. At that time, Duyuhou Zhongshao initiated a vote without ceremony after introducing the situation. Needless to say, the result was six to two.
Zhong Shao's motion to send troops immediately was passed with an absolute majority - it was actually Li Chengzhong's instruction. Now in Han Yanhui's introduction, it became "the unanimous opinion of the eight Yu Hous". At yesterday's joint meeting of Yu Hous, An Duan
For the first time, Quan experienced the decision-making mechanism of the Joint Headquarters, and at the same time, he also discovered Beg Huomai's resentment towards the Headquarters and himself.
After Han Yanhui finished speaking, Zhong Shao looked up at Li Chengzhong and saw him nodding slightly, so he stood up and said: "With the consent of the Yuhou Joint Headquarters, the Huaiyue Allied Forces will officially send troops to Xijing at midnight on the day after tomorrow. Now, I announce...
"The coalition officers stood up at the same time. The momentum really shocked An Duanquan and others. They had to stand up and bow to obey the order.
Zhong Shao arranged all the matters related to the expedition in detail and thoroughness. The scouts, logistics, headquarters and brigades were all arranged in a clear and orderly manner. The description and explanation were so complicated that the beggar was surprised and puzzled, but also slightly admired.
, at least this Du Yuhou is a real expert in fighting!
Qi Huomai was thinking about these things. Suddenly he heard Zhong Shao mentioning himself: "...the above is the order for the Huaiyue Allied Forces to go on an expedition. I hope that all ministries will strictly abide by the orders and prohibitions. Violators will be dealt with by their own military laws. Before going out, everyone should also
We need to know more about the combat power and current situation of the Bohai Navy soldiers. Now, I would like to ask the beggar merchant Yuhou to explain it to everyone."
Qihuomai had never participated in this kind of military discussion. He didn't know what to do for a while and seemed a little at a loss. Li Chengzhong knew that he was nervous and uncomfortable, so he stood up to cheer him up: "Marquis Qihuomai Yu is the leader of the Wukai tribe.
With rich command experience, I don’t think you will forget that it was the beggar Yuhou who commanded the Wu Kui tribe to surprise our northern headquarters in the battle. If Zhang Duyu’s character had not exploded and he suddenly decided to train at night, I am afraid that
It will be the Northern Command that fails! Of course, Zhang Duyu also paid the price for his outburst of character, and is still recuperating in the medical office..."
As soon as Li Chengzhong's joke was made, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and their mood became much more relaxed. They couldn't help but look at the Yingzhou Governor with gratitude, and were startled by their sudden gratitude.
Li Chengzhong continued: "Although this battle failed, the decisiveness and fierceness shown by the beggar Yuhou must be learned by all the officers here. Moreover, he has led the Wu Kui tribe to fight against the Bohai Kingdom all year round, and has extremely rich experience.
The experience and experience will definitely be able to bring us useful help.”
Although Beg Huomai was encouraged by Li Chengzhong, this was not his original Wu Kui tribe after all. This was the brand new Waiyo Allied Forces Military Conference. Dozens of pairs of unfamiliar eyes were staring at him. This tension would not
Eliminate it immediately. He rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say. He just said: "The Bohai soldiers don't know how to fight, they can only form formations. Well... In fact, the formations are not very good, and they are not as good as our Huaiyue coalition forces."
, let alone the Yingzhou Army - although I have never seen the formation of the Yingzhou Army. How can I put it, every time we face them, their military formations are better than ours, but without a fight,
It collapsed as soon as it charged... It has only been two months since the Huaiyue Alliance Army was formed. I don't know its combat strength yet, but judging from the previous Wu Kui tribe, 300 of us can defeat 1,000 of them! Is it less than 1,000?
I have never fought before, because if the number is lower than this, they would not have the guts to fight us face-to-face in a field battle, and the battle is also a battle to attack the city, so it is difficult to compare..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengzhong and saw Li Chengzhong nodding. He felt relieved and sat back down again. Then he heard Zhong Shao say: "Everyone stand up, please give instructions to the governor!"
Li Chengzhong stood up and came to the front, walking back and forth for a few steps. He didn't know what to say for a moment. This was a battle to conquer the country. Although it was just a vassal state, it was still a country! According to Feng Dao, it was "a kingdom of thousands of chariots"
"! Compared to people of this era, Li Chengzhong was obviously a little more excited. After a long time, he said: "Bohai has always been a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a military state of the Tang Dynasty! Starting from Emperor Wu, dozens of people in the Tang Dynasty
Ten thousand soldiers have poured their blood on this land. Now, a few clowns actually think that the Tang Dynasty is about to decline. They can't wait to split from the Tang Dynasty and try to compete with the mighty Tang Dynasty! How arrogant this is.
! What ignorance! What ignorance! How naive! Now, we just have to go over and tell them that wherever we go, it is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and wherever our bows and arrows are directed, it is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
