"Shanziying Pojundudutou Liu Shanxi Yingmao!"
"Liu Shanqing Yingmao, the leader of the left team of Shanziying Pojundu!"
"Shanziying Po Jundu Right Team is Liu Shan Zhou Yingmao!"
"This general is the new commander of the Yi'er Army, General Yunhui Si Quanshuang. From today on, he will temporarily take charge of all camps of the Yi'er Army... The former commander of the capital, Liu Shouguang, has been sent to the Chinese army camp for investigation. The former capital of Yu
Hou Bi Quanfu has been executed for plotting a rebellion... After he returned, he counted the soldiers and said that he would tell all the sergeants that he would follow the general to put down the rebellion tomorrow..."
After Si Quanshuang finished explaining, the officers from Pojundu bowed down and took the order, and the officers from Nextdudu came in in response.
"Shan Zi Ying Lang Xing Du Du Tou Liu Shan Yu Ying Mao!"
"Liu Shan, the leader of the left team of Shanziying Langxingdu, is in good hands!"
"Liu Shangao Yingmao, the commander of Shanziying Langxingdu Squadron!"
"The right team of Shanziying Langxingdu is at Liushanling Yingmao!"

The Yier Army is different from the Yamen Army or the state army. It has a strong personal color from the beginning of its establishment. In this era of vassal towns and forests, it has a very typical private military nature of military leaders.
In the original military system of the Tang Dynasty, teams were set up above the troops, brigades were set up above the teams, and regiments were set up above the brigades. One brigade consisted of a hundred people, two brigades formed a regiment, and several or even a dozen regiments were gathered into a government (local) or a guard (central).
), become an independent military unit.
After the separatist rule of vassal towns, with the disintegration of the imperial army, the rise of recruitment, and the development of professional sergeants, the original conscription system has undergone tremendous changes. In addition to the regular imperial army, more military leaders have been produced.
.The formal establishment of the imperial court refers to the force recognized by the imperial center and listed in the military register, including the twelve central guards, the military soldiers of each town's Jiedu Prefecture (which are two concepts with the government in the military military system), and the town troops of each state.
.The method of recruiting troops is to recruit troops according to the roll, which is often said that there are as many pits as there are carrots.
However, as the situation changes, a large number of soldiers who make a living by fighting have gradually become the main source of recruitment in various places. They often bring their families with them, are from the same hometown, same race and same village, and there are even many sergeants formed by fighting side by side.
Gangs come together when they are recruiting, and roar away when they break up. There are as few as three or five people, as many as dozens, or hundreds of people. In their lives, the people they trust and rely on the most are their companions in the gang. Enter
The army was even more unwilling to be split up and dispersed.
These soldiers who make a living by fighting are united by various relationships, whether they are blood relatives, fellow clansmen, township party members, or sworn brothers. They are not only skilled in martial arts and experienced, but also have strong cohesion among the gangs.
His strength is very strong. Looking at history, from three generations onwards, a country has been divided into local regions for hundreds of years without being divided. There has been no change of dynasties and no insults from external enemies. It is a miracle among miracles. If we want to trace the source. Maybe.
To a large extent, it relied on the existence of a large number of brave professional sergeants in this era. They checked and balanced each other and kept the overall situation of the court unchanged. Their combat power was extremely high and protected the Central Plains from foreign oppression.
Regardless of the Khitan, Kumoxi, Tuyuhun in the northern grasslands, or the Uighurs, Tubo in the west, and Nanzhao in the south, they all dare not easily spy on the Central Plains region that is actually in disarray. If we only talk about combat power, the armies of this era have no other options.
In addition to equipment and food and salary, in fact, the combat power of soldiers was no less than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, or even much higher.
Therefore, the military leaders who recruited soldiers could not be placed according to the establishment. They could only give the leader a designation, and the groups with a certain independent will were the combat units of the army, which were between the two formal establishments of brigades and regiments.
The "du" between them came into being.
During the Three Dynasties, each vassal state named the capital of a country as a country, and a city was a country. Later, when a country controlled more cities, the main city with an ancestral temple or the ancestor of the emperor was called the capital.
The city of the king and the god is called a city. It is said that "one year will be the year when the people live together, two years will be the city, and three years will be the capital." In the early days, the title "du" could not be used indiscriminately.
With the increase and expansion of towns, larger towns were gradually called capitals, and then the word "du" began to extend to other meanings, that is, "gathering". For example, in "Shui Jing Zhu" there is "Shui Ze is called a gathering."
"Capital", and then the meaning of "command" is derived from this, as the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" says, "Those who are in the capital are responsible for commanding all the people." The most common position of "commander" is the meaning of "command and supervise"
.
Therefore, "du" is actually an establishment without a specific quota. A small capital has a hundred people, a large capital has hundreds or even a thousand people. This establishment appeared in this era, rooted in the recruitment system of professional sergeants, and is unique to this era.
Characteristics. Later, this organization that emerged in local vassal towns gradually spread to the whole country and even the imperial court. Even the Central Forbidden Army began to adopt it.
In many vassal towns, "du" is used instead of "brigades" and "regiments", with camps or compartments set up above them. "Du" has become a very important part of the military system.
Take over specific sergeants and directly control ordinary soldiers.
The imperial court officially adopted the capital-level establishment much later. It was during the Huangchao Rebellion. At that time, the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army were ruined and collapsed at the first blow. The eunuch Tian Lingzi protected Emperor Xizong from fleeing Xichuan, and the Forbidden Army was recruited again in Xichuan. The main force of the army was professional sergeants.
More or less, these professional sergeants came to serve the imperial court after hearing the news. Tian Lingzi could not break them up, so he had to organize them into fifty-four capitals, and established them mainly with the ten most powerful military leaders.
The Ten Armies were assigned to the left and right Shen Ce, so the Twelve Guards of the imperial court were abolished and replaced by the Ten Army. Tian Lingzi's official position also changed from "Envoy to Observe the Military Appearance of the Twelve Guards" to "Envoy to Observe the Military Appearance of the Ten Army". From then on, the imperial court banned the army.
It has also essentially completed the transformation of the "character of the vassal town". Professional sergeants are attached to the large and small military leaders, and the military leaders are attached to the eunuchs. The eunuchs protect their interests, and they obey the eunuchs' command.
Become the cornerstone of Beiya's foundation.
This new army of the imperial court changed its appearance due to the recruitment of a large number of professional sergeants. It was extremely powerful and played an important role in quelling the Huangchao rebellion. Tianwudu, Tianweidu, Pengridu, and Dengfeng emerged.
The famous troops such as Dudu, Yongshengdu, Huzhibu, Yaodedu, Xuanweidu, and Qingyuandu were the important support for the imperial court to intimidate local areas. After Tian Lingzi restored Chang'an, he searched everywhere, distributed money and food to various towns, and tried to seize the salt ponds.
The large-scale replacement of Jiedu envoys led to "the world was angry and dared not say a word". He relied on the Tenth Army of the Forbidden Army. However, his approach was too hasty and too forced, and finally attracted the intervention of Li Keyong, a powerful feudal lord in Hedong. This Forbidden Army
So it went from prosperity to decline.
The so-called "Dutou" position is actually just a common name popular in the military. Its official official name is "Du Bo" or "Du Pai". The title of "Du" is more arbitrary, or it is given by the general.
The leading soldiers in the gang named themselves. The Badu Cavalry controlled by the Zhao family in the Lulong Army originally evolved from a small cavalry, and gradually became a well-known military force in Hebei. At its peak, it exceeded 10,000 cavalry.
The most important cavalry group of the Lulong Army. The origin of Silver Gourd City is roughly the same. It was formed by elite archers and is now under the jurisdiction of the Wang family.
When Li Chengzhong just crossed over, he encountered successive battles in Beizhou and Weizhou. During the army's defeat and retreat to the north, he pulled up a small gang of twenty-three people. On the way, he encountered Ge Cong, Zhou Jiaerlang and Ge Jiaerlang who were being pursued by the Xuanwu Army.
At that time, a new army was being formed, and when he saw that Li Chengzhong's small gang was very powerful, he planned to poach He Delun and recruit this small army, which was falsely called "Xuanwu Army He Delun Department", as his own.
At that time, Erlang of the Ge family gave him a real-duty capital. If Li Chengzhong agreed, then like most professional sergeants of this era, he would immediately establish his own "du" and become a leader in the Xuanwu Army.
A small military leader at the bottom. If that were the case, the current Governor of Datang Yingzhou would no longer exist, and Li Chengzhong's life trajectory would be completely different.
The same was true for Liu Shouguang's formation of the Volunteer Army. He recruited large and small groups of professional sergeants from all over Hebei, and quickly formed a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. In Hejian City, he defeated the Chengde Army who took advantage of the situation.
Therefore, the battalions under the left and right wings of the Volunteer Army are not formally organized. They are formed into different battalion heads by different captains. Their numbers are not fixed, and their names are also unique.
After these professional military leaders, large and small, entered the Volunteer Army, they all worshiped Liu Shouguang as their adoptive father. Liu Shouguang gave them names and organized them into battalion leaders according to their names. For example, Shanziying means that all names contain "mountain".
They are composed of officers with different surnames, and they are also brothers with different surnames. Of course, this kind of brotherly relationship with different surnames is very fragile and only exists verbally. Such an army can fight when recruited, and its combat power is not weak.
In fact, when Zhou Zhiyu was ordered to form the front camp of the Jianzu Camp, almost all professional sergeants in Hebei were recruited by the Volunteer Army and other armies, so the Jianzu Camp was full of farmers, refugees and rangers.
Its combat power is much worse than that of other armies, and it can only serve as cannon fodder. To put it bluntly, Li Chengzhong back then was actually a cannon fodder.
Si Quanshuang killed Yuhou, the capital of the Yier Army, and Bi Quanfu, the Yamen general, frightened the senior generals in the Yier Army, such as Liu Yanlang, Hu Linggui, Zhang Jingshao, etc. It can be said that he was a decisive figure in killing. At the same time, he also knew very well that
The inside information of the Yier Army was that he knew how to appease the military morale of the grassroots officers, and called all the leaders of each battalion to the central army tent to comfort him. It can be said that he had many calculations, otherwise he would not have become the confidant of Liu Rengong, the prince of Liaodong County.
But Si Quanshuang failed to calculate, because he launched too quickly. The three parties of Yier Army, Ba Duqi, and Jizhou Army had not had time to convey their military advice to ordinary sergeants. These grassroots officers did not know at all.
The inside story, so when he openly summoned the officers one by one to appease him, it had a bad effect and made everyone feel a threat of overwhelming power. As for what he said about "rebellion in the army," "here comes
"Putting down rebellion" and so on have become an excuse to incriminate others.
In fact, if you think about this matter from another angle, you can understand the mentality of all the grassroots officers: Everyone was sleeping well, but suddenly in the middle of the night, you, a foreign commander, called you to the commander's tent. At that time, the camp central ring
Waiting for the sword and gun, the head of the prestigious Bidu Yu has been placed on the table with blood. The generals of the Yier Army who usually give orders all bowed their heads and fell silent, succumbing to your lustful power. Finally, you told us that you would let us
If you are guilty and have meritorious service, I will go with you to fight against Ba Duqi tomorrow...
When did we rebel? When did Yameni offend the prince? How come Bi Duyu was killed by you inexplicably? Why do we have to "take the blame"? Why should we go with you to fight against the Badu Cavalry ally that we have always been friends with?
?
Conspiracy! Naked conspiracy!
Everyone in the camp was in danger. The officers spread the news to the sergeants. There were many speculations and rumors flying around. That night, the morale of the volunteer army was shattered.
