The first thing he did after he came out made everyone confused: the saint announced that the Yuan Dynasty would be changed to Wende, and this year would be the first year of Wende.
Jinshang has been in office for almost fifteen years. The first reign of Qianfu lasted six years, the second reign of Guangming took one year, the third reign of Zhonghe lasted four years, and the fourth reign of
Haoguang has been in use for three years, and Wende is the fifth reign year, which is quite exciting.
However, the saint was indeed frightened this time. The ancestors were imprisoned and humiliated by eunuchs. After all, it was a legend and it happened to others. But once he was imprisoned, even if it was only for a day, the feeling was indescribable.
The emperor no longer loves polo, cockfighting, or beauties. He looks melancholy and sickly, and his whole body has collapsed.
The methods of the lieutenant are so terrifying.
Marshal Shao broke camp and set off early this morning. It was not that he was afraid of the saint, but that he was afraid of taking the blame and causing a scandal.
He is a conservative person and will never take risks if he is not sure.
If the saint couldn't stand the fright and died, then the yellow mud fell into his crotch and it's hard to explain. What situation would he face then?
Maybe nothing happened, maybe he was besieged, but he wouldn't take the risk.
Ximen Sigong's uncle and nephew were quite right and sent hundreds of carts of treasures to the army. They were all the property of Yang Fugong and his party members. Shao Shude admired their efficiency very much and accepted them without politeness.
A reward for serving in the army.
The army around Chang'an under Shao's command included the Yi Cong Army's right wing with 3,000 infantry, the Baosa Army with 3,000 infantry, the Baoda Army with 3,000 infantry, the Tianzhu Army with 5,000 infantry, and the Zhenwu Army with 7,000 infantry.
, the Tielin Army has 9,000 cavalry, the Hexi Dangxiang has 3,000 cavalry, and the Yinshan Fan tribe has 6,000 cavalry, for a total of 39,000 cavalry.
There are less than 40,000 people, and there is no problem at all in beating up the 70,000 Shence Army. The middle-ranking officials in Chang'an City all know soldiers - it's ironic, but this is a fact. They know soldiers better than the civilian officials, and some of them are better at bows.
The horses were skillful and courageous - they gave up the idea of resisting early and joined forces to overthrow Yang Fugong, thus avoiding a military disaster.
Otherwise, the imperial court can start the third phase of the Shence Army training plan after the Chao Rebellion.
Before leaving, Marshal Shao instructed the Yinshan Tibetan tribe to send 10,000 sheep to Chang'an to "quell the emperor's shock."
The Prince of Lingwu County is obedient and pays constant tribute every year. Although it is not much, his attitude is much better than those of the vassal towns that have begun to stop paying tribute.
Yang Fugong was declared a traitor to the party, and he naturally had to be held accountable. It only took one day for the imperial court under the control of Beisi to send envoys with edicts to various towns to declare the crimes of Yang Fugong and his party members.
Not only that, the imperial court will also send a large army to conquer Yang Fugong!
On the third day of April, an order was issued to set up a recruiting camp on Shannan Road. Shao Shudejia, the king of Lingwu County, came in as the recruiting envoy. Han Quanhui, the middle official, was appointed as the supervisor of the army and commanded the army to attack the enemy, the army to protect the enemy, the army to protect the army and other Han people.
Forty thousand soldiers and horses marched westward.
Zhu Mei, the military envoy of Fengxiang, Zhe Zongben, the military envoy of Xingning, and Cheng Zongchu, the military envoy of Jingyuan, were the deputy envoys to recruit, and each led their troops to go south.
Ximen Wentong also served as the deputy envoy to recruit and led the Shence Army from the three capitals west to Chang'an to conquer Yang Fugong's rebellion.
Jingzhao Yin and Sun Kui were appointed as military envoys.
On the fourth day of April, the deputy envoys were summoned, and Ximen Wentong, the capital of Japan, led five thousand elite troops to go far away.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Li Yuan (chán), the capital of Yaode, and the newly appointed capital of Tianwei were all full, and each led 5,000 people out of the city to conquer Yang Fugong.
These fifteen thousand people were all selected from the twenty thousand sergeants recruited from the Kanto region and were hastily distributed to the three capitals. It was inevitable that some soldiers would not know the generals and the generals would not know the soldiers.
But the three generals are all pretty reliable, and Ximen Wentong is quite capable, otherwise he wouldn't be favored by Ximen Sigong's uncle and nephew.
Li Yuan also participated in the war against Huang Chao. He was stationed west of Chang'an and had victories and defeats with Chao's army. He was considered a qualified general.
Mancun was originally Yang Fuguang's man. After Yang Fuguang's death, he had no one to turn to, so he followed Tian Lingzi. As a result, Tian Lingzi died again, and Mancun was almost liquidated, because he was not a core member and was let go and switched to Ximen.
Mancun also participated in the war against Huang Chao and made military exploits. He still had some skills. This time he was able to command thousands of soldiers and horses to conquer Yang Fugong.
Shao Shude did not stop this "little trick" played by the imperial court.
The officials of the Nanya and Bei Division were really into playing power and wanted to strengthen the authority of the imperial court at all times. The purpose of setting up such a recruitment camp was not to let the world see that the imperial court had not fallen apart and could organize soldiers and horses from various towns to conquer the unrest.
Ever since?
Zhao Guangfeng pointed this out.
After careful consideration, Shao Shude agreed to Ximen Zhongsui's request.
Going south this time, to be honest, I felt a bit like playing with fire. I was taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong were unable to escape. There was no need to do it too ugly. Having the name of the imperial court would save a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, the imperial court is playing tricks on me. Wouldn’t I use the name of recruiting envoys to gain benefits? Everyone is taking advantage of each other. It depends on who can outsmart whom.
Shannan Road recruited envoys and gathered more than 80,000 troops from all walks of life to conquer Wuding's army. Shannan West Road was more than enough. If there was a chance, it might not be possible to do more things.
As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Shao Shude didn't think so much at first. He just wanted to help Zhuge Shuang and get some wealth and people by the way.
When Na Chengxiang arrived in Guanzhong, various accidents occurred frequently. First, there was internal strife between Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi in Henan Prefecture, which led to the intervention of Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong. They also wanted to intervene and gain population.
Then there was another coup in Chang'an, Yang Fugong was expelled, and the imperial court set up a Shannan Road recruitment camp, and the situation became worse and worse.
It is indeed unexpected that things have developed to this point. But it doesn't matter. Just take it one step at a time. How can you control everything in the world?
The 6,000 infantrymen in the left wing of the Yi Congjun had already taken the lead and headed for Ziwu Pass, intending to take the Ziwu Valley to Yangzhou.
Shao Shude personally led the main force of the Dingnan Army westward along the Weishui River to Fengxiang Mansion. The Baosai Army and Bao Da Army accompanied them, while the Shence Army was two days behind them and followed behind.
The mighty army of more than 50,000 people headed west.
"Commander, if you let the eunuch succeed this time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future." When the army passed Xianyang, Zhao Guangfeng stepped forward again and said: "For the current plan, it is better to gain more benefits. Since I have been appointed as the recruiting envoy,
, just don’t rush back and take care of the things in Fengxiang Town."
Shao Shude nodded, he had the same idea.
It's not easy to get Zhu Mei to move to town!
People are living well in Fengxiang. There are three prefectures in one prefecture, nearly 300,000 Han people, plus 780,000 Tibetan and Qiang tribes. There are no big enemies outside, and the life is very comfortable. There is also a strong gate and a strong city.
What relocation?
You have to do something good for someone, you have to come up with a reason to convince him, and you have to try to do it this time.
"Zhu Mei is ambitious." Zhao Guangfeng said in a low voice: "The commander-in-chief must still remember the battle with Li Changfu when he entered Chang'an more than two years ago. Zhu Mei just waited until the battle situation was very clear before switching sides. Now
She has always been ambitious and will not give up until the last moment. With such a mind, how can she stay under the command of the commander for a long time? In recent years, Zhu Mei has bought mansions, drank wine and beauties, or she has ulterior motives, secretly hoarding armor and weapons, and hoarding wealth for later.
Tianshi. Or he is simply discouraged and has no hope for the future. No matter which case, as long as the commander gives him a chance, his ambition will grow like a weed and get out of control."
"Zhu Mei, in her prime of life, has not lost her ambition and still wants to give it a try," Zhao Guangfeng concluded.
"Send him to Dongchuan, will Gao Renhou obey the imperial edict?" Shao Shude asked.
"Although Gao Renhou is loyal, he may not obey the imperial edict." Zhao Guangfeng said without hesitation: "But this generation is pedantic, too benevolent and righteous, and is simply not like a warrior. If Zhu Mei leads the army south and the two sides fight, it will be related to the west.
If you are a sharp warrior, have the righteousness of the court, and are highly benevolent and honest, you will not be your opponent, so it will not be a problem to take over Zizhou."
"When I arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, I looked for an opportunity to test Zhu Mei's tone. I was afraid that he would have no ambitions, like Wang Chongrong, and that would be difficult," Shao Shude said.
If Wang Chongrong, who is under the Nine Springs, had known this, he would have greeted Marshal Shao: "Are you polite?"
But this is also a fact. Housekeeping dogs are not easy to beat!
While Chang'an was performing dramas one after another, on the Huazhou City three hundred miles away, Wang Bian Zheng, the defense envoy of Tongguan and the governor of Huazhou, stared at a cavalry army heading east until he could no longer see the figure.
, and then withdrew his gaze.
This Shao Shude is really haunted. Why can he encounter your soldiers wherever he goes?
If he hadn't seen that the cavalry army was only responsible for collecting food and sending donations, and had no intention of establishing a long-term position, Wang Bianji would have thought that the old story of Zhenwu Army City would happen again.
Wang Bian was born in the Zuo Shence Army and had always been more submissive to Ximen Sigong. Therefore, after losing the position of Jiedushi of the Zhenwu Army, he could still get the position of the governor of Huazhou.
The three counties in Huazhou originally had a lot of household registrations, but they suffered some losses during the Chao Chao Rebellion. However, the war in Guandong has continued in recent years, and many refugees have poured in. The number of household registrations has skyrocketed. Currently, there are more than 40,000 households and nearly 300,000 people.
Very impressive.
Historically, when Han Jian was the governor of Huazhou, he overcame obstacles, taught farming, went deep into the villages, and petitioned the people for their sufferings. After more than ten years of operation, the household registration was prosperous, and the agriculture was prosperous. At the same time, it was located on the business road. After Zhaozong was kidnapped, business travel
What's more, the commercial taxes are generous, and there is money to rebuild the city of Chang'an.
Han Jian is now the governor of Huizhou under Marshal Shao.
Huizhou was called "Suzhou" in the early period of the Republic of China, named after the abundance of grains in the warehouse. After Han Jian took office, he really worked hard, traveled to various villages, and personally led the people to clean up swamps and plant corn, wheat, fruits and vegetables.
Because he was illiterate, he had people write down the names of officials and generals on his bed and bench, and he studied every day. After a long time, he actually learned a lot of words, which is also a talent.
Some people just didn't choose the right career. Han Jian was also lucky. If Marshal Shao hadn't heard of his name, he might have been killed along with the thieves and bastards. Now that he has become the governor, managed the internal affairs well, and accumulated merit,
There may not be a future.
Wang Bian's talent in internal affairs was of course far inferior to that of Han Jian.
But Huazhou does have a good foundation. It has flat fields, has the Wei River and its tributaries, produces tea, and has the Tongguan trade road. Overall, it is relatively wealthy.
After the Iron Cavalry Army and the Leopard Cavalry arrived here, they immediately collected grain and obtained more than 80,000 dendrobium within a few days, and the subsequent grain and grass were still being transported in a steady stream. It was smooth enough for Oritsugu and Liu Zijing to
Doubt life.
There are only three counties in Huazhou, so how can there be so much money and food? Wang Bian is really lucky to be able to work in this place. He is probably secretly happy, right?
"Compared with Huazhou, the two states of the Zhenwu Army are simply backwaters!" Liu Zijing, deputy envoy of the Cavalry Army, lamented on the way eastward.
Yang Hongwang and Zhe Congyun glared at him.
Both of them are from Linzhou and have always been very proud of their hometown. Liu Zijing's lack of integrity naturally made them very angry.
"Deputy Envoy Liu, the Zhenwu Army is full of cattle and sheep, and the martial arts is prosperous. What's missing?" Yang Hongwang endured it, but in the end he couldn't help it and asked.
Liu Zijing glanced at the two of them and laughed.
The Leopard Cavalry all had a high status in the army, and were jokingly called by many people to be the commander-in-chief of the army. They were all extremely arrogant. They were also a large group of heroic young men aged 17 or 18. They were very hot-tempered, and Liu Zijing was too lazy to get to know them.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Liu Zijing quickly changed the subject and said, "Can you go to Huayin County today?"
"We can't get there!" Yang Hongwang said angrily, "It would be great if we could get to Fu Shui Shop."
Fushuidian is 45 miles east of Huazhou and located on the west bank of Fushui. There is Fushui Station. From there, 30 miles northeast is Huayin County, where the camp is located.
"Those people from Datong Horse Racing are constantly sending people to Huayin, we have to send food there quickly." Liu Zijing muttered a few words, and just as he was about to continue teasing these young men from Leopard Cavalry City, he saw two people running in front of him.
ride.
"With the order from the commander, the Leopard Cavalry will immediately go eastward and arrive at Tongguan within two days." After approaching, they first identified their identity, and the two scouts took out an order from their saddlebags and handed it to Yang Hongwang.
Yang Hongwang took it with a serious face, looked at it briefly, and put it away.
"But something happened in Henan?"
"The fight has begun." The scout nodded and said, "Zhu Quanzhong sent troops to Heyang, led by General Nai Dinghui. It is reported that he has already fought with the Hedong Army."
"Okay! The Leopard Cavalry will set off now." Yang Hongwang said.
There were thousands of them, each with three horses, and they were marching very fast. Not to mention reaching Tongguan, they could reach Shaanzhou within two days.
After speaking, Yang Hongwang, Zhe Congyun, and Wang Chong made some gestures on the map, and then split up to gather their troops and head eastward.
