Chapter 626: The Grand Marshal of the Worlds Soldiers and Horses
Yang Ming chose to go on an expedition now after careful consideration. Although the world is in chaos now, all the rebels in history have appeared one by one, but they have not yet become a phenomenon.
Because they did not have that time, Dou Jiande had not yet occupied Hebei and was just a bandit leader under Gao Shida.
To put it bluntly, there is no separatist force. There is an essential difference between banditry and separatist rule. Separatist rule means that administrative agencies at all levels of counties and counties are controlled by them, forming small local governments. This is more difficult to fight.
But at the moment, the rebels in various places are basically still in the guerrilla stage. They have no structure, and they don't have many children from aristocratic families under their command. Their combat effectiveness is worrying, and their decision-making is relatively naive.
The most important point is that the current chaos is essentially different from the historical chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, that is, local officials and aristocratic families did not abandon the imperial court.
The current situation is appropriately called a peasant uprising.
Of course, except for the Bohai Gao family, this branch has been an unstable factor since it was merged into the Gao family of the old Qi Dynasty, because they feel that their ancestors became emperors, and it was not that long ago, it was only a few decades ago.
After all, Yang Yinjiang and the others are women, and their degree of intervention in major affairs is very limited. The emperor has given permission, and there is nothing they can do if they are not happy.
Although Yang Yinjiang took the lead to cry to Empress Xiao, it had no effect. Empress Xiao did not interfere in politics.
For several days, Yang Ming had been comforting his wife and children, which temporarily calmed them down a little.
As the saying goes, long-term pain is like short-term pain. The longer the mess is solved, the greater the damage will be to the country. Yang Ming knows it very well.
He is willing to surrender, but if he insists on fighting hard, he must first consider how much loss he will bear as a result. In fact, after calculation, surrendering cannot minimize the losses.
Yang Guang chuckled: "Let him go to suppress the rebellion. He will contact the rebels. What does he want to do?"
You Yuanliang hurriedly said: "There is still a shortage of armor. The Hedong refinery has been stopped for a long time, and the treasury of Weiwei Temple is full. I am not worried about that."
That time, all the hundreds of thousands of Xiaoguo troops from the south came back. Wei Xuan led the Guanzhong army. He went to put down the rebellion. The people in the south were at odds with each other. Originally, the dispute between the north and the south had not gradually become tense, but now it turned out that
During the turmoil, all old and new grudges were aroused.
So I first went to the Ministry of War to see how many people could be given.
"Yes!" the two said.
The prince stood up and said: "I am here to invite my father. My son and I are here. If there are no rumors, my father must not trust me, because my son and I may contact the rebels."
If you don't have money, you won't be able to talk about anything. It's only natural to use money to do things, and if it is given so early, the guards will hand it over to the family, so there is no need to worry about it.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "It's easy to turn around. If you don't perform any meritorious service before surrendering, your family will be exempted from the crime. For the sake of the country and the people, surrender is always the next best option. Could it be that the King of Qi can't bear to see that the war will end and everyone will be in ruins?"
From a national perspective, what is wanted is stability in the sky, and in order to achieve that goal, no method can be used.
Things in heaven are not just an account.
Pei Ju said: "Luoyang is the top priority. The Wagang rebels will eventually go south. I think Du Ru's first target should be the Wagang rebels."
The prince said: "The seven of you are responsible for the weapons, food, grass and baggage. You are right."
Were the bad guys from Liangshan also recruited?
As for how to quell the rebellion, the prince felt it was necessary to plan and deploy. The chaos inside changed day by day. He was far away in the capital, so everything was vague, and planning was effective. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and he was not playing a command on the spot.
"Surrender? We have all rebelled, do we still have to surrender?" Yang Guang said.
Yang Ming nodded slightly: "I canonize Du Ru as the Shangshu Order of Shaanxi Province Daoxingtai, control all kinds of soldiers and horses, worship the little marshal of soldiers and horses in the sky, and the King of Qin Yang Rui is the legitimate grandson of the world, and he will follow me on my right and left."
That person, according to the historical trajectory, should have died in two years, but did he die in that life? Because according to history, I died of illness after accompanying the army to conquer Goguryeo. In that life, my body was still healthy until the end of my life.
When Yang Ming went to war, he owed military pay. When the prince went to war, he paid money first, and when he came back, he still had no money left.
Let me ask, who wants to be the last Su Lie? First of all, Xu Shiji was very excited.
"If Du Ru goes on an expedition, in what capacity should he be?" Yang Yue looked at the emperor and asked.
But there is a way. Only one of my sons can lead the army. Even if the other son is asked to lead, someone will obey me.
"From Guanzhong to Luoyang, there are just a few large groups of bandits, which are enough to cause trouble. The focus of your expedition this time is still in Hebei. To clear up the chaos in Hebei, small things can be settled." Li Jing and Fang Xuanling had the same view. Hebei was pacified half the time.
The north will be stable. If the north is stable, the south of the Yangtze River will be in trouble.
Li Jing, Yang Xuanting, Su Lie, Yang Yuanqing, Yang Xuanzang, Pei Xingyan, Hou Junji, Xu Shiji, Shi Wanbao, Yang Jian, Pang Tao, Lai Zheng, Xiao Biaoren, Han Shi'e, Yang Sixuan, Liang Shidu, Han Xiaoji and other generals.
The prince said: "The two of them coordinated with the military department to recruit a small army and placed it in the small camp of Yiwei on the left and right. Be slow. The small army will set off ten days ago."
The civil servants accompanying the army included Li Jiancheng, You Yuanliang, You Yuanhui, Qiao Chunji, Liu Hongji, Yao Silian, Xue Shou and Cui Churen.
"It's okay," Taifu Temple Yuanshou said: "Half of the cotton cloth in stock has been allocated to provide soldiers with protection from the cold, and kerosene and other supplies have been allocated in full. All counties and counties will also do their best to protect the gardens."
"It's so cute to be so optimistic. The thieves are cunning. They drive the people to defend the government and the army, and then wait for the opportunity to attack. It's very cute. When you were in Luoyang, you didn't suffer the loss. The guards were from Henan, and the rebels were also from Henan. Let's kill them.
Ah, the South has no resistance to you, but now that Xiao Guo has not returned, a small army has come to counter the rebellion. The people of the South are afraid that they will be taken advantage of by the thieves, and it will be difficult to pacify them."
Pang Benhui said: "The Xiangyang naval forces of Shen Lun and Zhou Zhongmo have not yet retreated to Jiangdu. On the Luoyang side, Wang Shichong led 10,000 people and followed the Chief Wei to the south. Things in the south should be less problematic."

"Gong Wei took away a small army of 70,000 people from the capital, and Yu Juluo transferred 80,000 people from Luoyang. At present, only 20,000 to 80,000 people can be allocated to Du Ru," Lai Hu'er, the Minister of War, said in distress.
Next, the family has to give the tiger talisman, and it’s not yet the festival.
To the Yiwei camp on the outskirts of Beijing, all the wine and meat were brought, and the food for the soldiers was improved several levels.
As for why you brought Jiancheng with you to drag the oil bottle, it was because Li Yuan was in Jinyang and he dared to act rashly. You just cut Jiancheng into pieces.
Pei Ju smiled and said: "The way to use troops is to be cunning and changeless. What you want is to quell the rebellion. As for the process, Du Ru naturally cannot handle it with full authority. Youyuan is the prince. If he is attacked by the seven thieves, it will be a failure to unite with Wu to fight against Cao.
It is an optional strategy, and besides, if some rebels are willing to surrender, Du Ru can always ignore it."
When we found out that it was Du Ru before going on the expedition, all of us were filled with indignation and eager to try. After all, it was an opportunity that could not change our fate.
Su Wei frowned and said, "You still have to be careful when using troops in winter."
"It's King Qi's turn to ask what Du Ru wants to do," Yang Zhiji said in a deep voice.
The Xiao Sui Dynasty has always been like this. If there is no trouble outside, the small army to suppress the rebellion must be from the local area, and the local people must be killed.
Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you still control your mouth? What? If you say you are talking, it is his turn to control it, right?"
The prince said again: "Han Shi'e is a lowly benevolent person."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up at the same time.
In particular, Su Lie, who was born as a commoner, now occupies a low position, which has given very little hope to the few guardsmen who were born as commoners.
Before the imperial examination, the promotion channels for civil servants in the Xiao Sui Dynasty were slightly opened, but the promotion channels for the military were always open.
Personal bodyguards Chen Kui, Zhu Bali, Cui Wei and Pei Zhong.
Why is so much enough? Because I am Du Ru, I will definitely go to war, and all the troops and horses from all directions are under my control. No matter how old the house is, how old it is, how old it is, how old it is, how old it is, how old it is, how old it is.
There are 20,000 horses. Riga will draw 10,000 people from the right and left guard of the East Palace and 7,000 elite troops from the east side of the river, which equals 87,000 people. Among them, the right left guard of the east palace and the east side of the river will be able to produce 12,000 horses.
"Thank you, father," Youyuan said on his knees.
"Haha..." Yu Wenshu said with a smile: "Du Ru's wise words."
Fang Xuanling has not yet been deposed as an envoy in Henan, Shandong, and Hebei. The prince's military position must be lower than mine to break the rules. After all, Fang Xuanling's order is to act cheaply. If the prince has that reputation,
You Yuanliang can't just listen to me.
Before everyone in the family learned that they were about to go on an expedition with Du Ru, everyone was very excited, because it was a bad opportunity to make achievements. Very few of them would have that opportunity in the future, but now it is gone.
Yang Mingdao replied: "If we hurry up and work hard, it should only take seven or eight days. Mr. Song will be able to leave Beijing the day before his death."
Because Xiaojia didn’t have a bottom line yet, and the small brawls in the late Sui Dynasty in history didn’t have a bottom line yet.
Especially Hongnong Yang, it is obvious that our man is the commander-in-chief.
The prince added: "Shi Wanbao, Yang Jian, Shi Huaiyi, Song Laosheng, Liang Shidu, each leading an infantry of more than 2,000, are with you on your right and left."
"That's enough," the prince raised his hand: "On that expedition, you ordered the generals yourself. If necessary, the military department will make arrangements. If there is a shortage of armor, they will be transferred from Hedong."
Li Jiancheng was the lifeblood of Li Yuan.
Eighty-seven thousand men, of which 20,000 are cavalry, all equipped with refined weapons. As long as the commander is too capable, he will attack anyone he encounters.
The rebel leaders who were recruited before they surrendered should not be given at least some money and titles, but they would be given actual positions, and it would also allow our descendants and generations to come.
"I'm here!" the two said as they stood up.
Before the prince returned to the East Palace, he called all his confidants to complete the arrangements.
But on the prince's list, there were no children from each family, almost all of them were exhausted, so a small number of people supported the prince's choice.
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Youyuan's expedition is on my behalf. You can make your own decisions whether the matter is small or big. I will believe any rumors or rumors."
"Du Ru employs young and important people," Yu Wenshu frowned and said, "Is it possible that some of them are not stable enough?"
Xuan Zong, who returned to the capital from Luoyang, frowned and said:
Young people should make meritorious deeds. It is too late to make meritorious deeds now.
Later, Yang Su raided Jiangnan once, but there were too few kills and too few enemies. If Yang Ming was so good and found another way to appease Jiangnan, the south would not have such a peaceful life.
The prince nodded and said: "Pei Gongdong Ruo Guanhuo, when you go to Luoyang, the first step is not to join forces with Yu Juluo to wipe out the Wagang bandits, and then go north to join Fang Xuanling and wipe out Hebei."
The prince said: "Li Jing, Su Lie, Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanzang, Yang Yuanqing, and Pei Xingyan each lead two thousand cavalry."
Being timid at a young age is beneficial in battle.
Xiao Sui has always gone on expeditions, and there has never been any very boring phenomenon. This is not a private tribe.
The prince's male family raised 1.4 million yuan from their own private money and gave it to Fang, Du Qi, and Xiaojun, so the reward had not been paid yet.
To put it bluntly, it is not a generational issue.
Yang Yue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
"Yes!" the two said.
Youyuan smiled and said: "Soldiers value elites more than young ones. Two to eighty thousand is enough."
Young people are timid after all. That's not why the prince made this arrangement. Apart from Shi Wanbao and Yang Jian, is there anyone who is younger?
At the court meeting eight days ago, everyone in the family was concerned about Du Ru's arrangements, but as for the prince, did he actually make any arrangements?
"Pei Xizai and Shi Huaiyi won't be back for a long time," the prince asked.
Lai Hu'er said in a bad way: "Guanzhong is the most important thing. I have mobilized it so much. It is better to mobilize Cui Hongsheng's small army back in order to allocate 80,000 people to the palace. The losses of the horses in the northern expedition are huge. Can we provide you with the troops?"
Yuan’s, that’s ten thousand horses.”
"Yes!" Eight people took the order at the same time.
I'm sure Yang Ming doesn't have many sons, so I will let the prince lead the army, but if his son doesn't make any mistakes, it will be less beneficial than those rebels.
As well as Qianniu Beishen Zhang Yuanbei, Pei Shuang, Zhang Xixuan, Lai Yu, Yu Xi, Wei Huaijing, Wei Siyan, Dugu Lingyun, Xue Wanshu, Li Xiaogong and Gao Zhan.
"You're worried, the ones arranged for you are definitely elite," Lai Hu'er said.
The prince smiled and said: "It takes many years to produce heroes. Have you ever heard of heroes being produced in old age?"
Youyuan nodded: "Counterinsurgency is always a major matter, everyone must treat it with caution, Yang Mingdao Pang Benhui."
I'm actually not happy at all, because among the generals recruited by the prince, my son is one of them. Your young man is also very good at fighting, but he is worse than Yang Xuan. Why did you just take him?
The prince nodded: "He will then issue an order to the various military offices. In your name, we will recruit strong and strong people. You want 80,000 or 20,000, but they must be the worst."
"I'm here!" The two stood up.
The prince nodded, stood up and said, "Go up and make arrangements."
The prince is the commander-in-chief, so he has almost no chance to kill the enemy. He will always hold a knife in his hand, but instead hold the bronze dragon head banner. Without that thing, I can't move troops at will.
Before I decided to go on the expedition, I had to send a message to Bashu to transfer those two people back, except Song Laosheng from Hedong.
As long as there is no small family, there is no tribe. And among the prince's list, 40% are from low-level families. In the future, he will bring one or two hundred tribes with him when he goes on an expedition to protect himself from danger.
Su Wei said: "These rebel leaders want to be rich and powerful. They have no culprits, but they can be forgiven, but they have no subordinates. Their crimes are small and they cannot be properly surrendered. State affairs are discussed internally and externally. In fact, the principle is the same, remove the important and keep the important, discard the flaws and make use of them.”
