When She Saihua and her nine daughters-in-law came to seek refuge, they were naturally warmly received by Qin Liangyu. After all, these female generals of the Yang family were once the backbone of her command.
Before the Detachment of Women was divided, there were many female generals among the three thousand Detachment of Women, and the female generals of the Yang family held up most of the Detachment of Women.
As Qin Hao established the Qin Army, the Women's Army also split into two.
Qin Liangyu stayed in Jinyang with two thousand women's troops and most of the female generals, while Mu Guiying led one thousand women's troops and a small number of female generals to Nanyang.
Before the division of troops, the power Qin Liangyu controlled, both in terms of men and generals, was far superior to that of Mu Guiying.
But as the Qin army grew, so did the Qin army’s women’s army.
Nowadays, the Qin Army's Women's Army not only has a strength of 5,000 people, but also has recruited many capable female generals, and has won many battles one after another. It can be said that its momentum has increased and it is famous all over the world.
In contrast, the Women's Army of the Jin Army has been stagnant. As a result, they were naturally left far behind by the Women's Army of the Qin Army.
Although the Women's Army of the Jin Army had an advantage, it was overtaken by the Women's Army of the Qin Army. The main reason was that Qin Wen did not support the expansion of the Women's Army.
Although Qin Wen's character is not old-fashioned and conservative, he does not agree with women forming an army. In addition, the cost of forming an army for women is indeed higher than that of forming an army for men, but the combat effectiveness is not stronger than that of a male army.
The Jin army itself did not lack troops. Qin Wen felt that it was not cost-effective to expand the Women's Army, so it was better to recruit more reserve troops, so he rejected Qin Liangyu's request to expand the army.
It is precisely because of Qin Wen's lack of attention that the Women's Army can only maintain a lineup of 2,000 people, and has not been on combat missions for a long time. Most of the female generals have either married or gone home to look after their husbands and raise children. This has also caused the Jin Army's Women's Army to fight.
Great loss of strength.
Now that the female generals of the Yang family have returned again, this is naturally a great thing for the Detachment of Women. Qin Liangyu welcomes the female generals of the Yang family with both hands.
The reason why She Saihua and her daughters-in-law chose to return to the Detachment of Women at this time was actually because one hundred thousand new troops had been reorganized.
After Zhenbeiguan fell and 200,000 Yuan troops moved south, nearly 30 foreign cavalry ravaged Hetao.
In response to this, Qin Wen quickly responded and ordered all three counties of Hetao to enter military control, and all the people were mobilized until Yuan and Meng were defeated.
With the hundreds of thousands of elite Jin troops in Hetao alone, even if millions of people were to join the army, it would still be difficult to repel the 300,000 Yuan Mongolian cavalry. After all, the strong men recruited temporarily could only defend the city but not go into battle.
Therefore, in order to repel Yuan Meng's cavalry as soon as possible and prevent Yuan Meng from wreaking havoc in Hanoi, one hundred thousand new troops must arrive in Hetao as soon as possible to join the battle.
One hundred thousand new troops are about to leave for Hetao, but the leader has not yet been decided. The reason is that most of the famous generals in the Jin army have gone south to Sizhou, and other mainstays have also been sent to Hetao, so that
This resulted in the current embarrassing situation of the Jin army having too many soldiers and few generals.
Qin Wen thought about it but could not find a suitable candidate, so he wanted to lead the army in person. However, due to his physical problems, he was unanimously opposed by his advisers.
Considering that if he fell tired while leading the army, it would only damage the morale of the Jin army again, so Qin Wen gave up his plan to lead the army personally. But now that the army is about to go on an expedition, the position of general can no longer be left vacant.
Now among the remaining generals in Jinyang, apart from Qin Liangyu, there is no one who has the prestige to command an army of 100,000.
In fact, Qin Liangyu's prestige is not enough, but her reputation is big enough. Coupled with Qin Wen's eldest daughter and her status as the leader of the Women's Army, she is enough to command and intimidate a hundred thousand new troops.
Forced by desperation, Qin Wen could only choose to let his daughter Qin Liangyu lead the army. Fortunately, Wang Meng was still in charge of the overall situation in Hetao, so he did not have to worry about Qin Liangyu giving random orders.
In addition to Qin Liangyu, Qin Wen also sent Mu Guiying's father Mu Yu, Shi Yiguang's younger brother Shi Long, and the Qin family's young general Qin Lie.
Mu Yu was once one of the eight captains of the Yanmen Army and one of the oldest generals in the Jin Army.
Shi Long was once a lieutenant in the Po Army Camp, and was later promoted to a general due to his military exploits. He was one of the rising stars in the Jin army.
Needless to say, Qin Lie is one of the most outstanding young disciples of the Qin family.
These three people are the last remaining generals in Jinyang. Now Qin Wen has sent them all out, which shows how determined he is in resisting Yuanmeng. He is risking everything to block Yuanmeng.
It's a river.
Qin Liangyu led the two thousand Detachment of Women and a group of female generals from the Detachment of Women. After joining the 100,000 new troops, they immediately rushed towards Hetao without stopping, but on the way, they received Wang Meng's general order.
Wang Meng did not allow Qin Liangyu's 100,000 women's army to enter the Hetao. Instead, he ordered Qin Liangyu to choose a dangerous place to set up camp at the junction of the Hetao and the three counties of North and Central China to prevent Yuan Meng from entering the three counties of North and Central China.
————————
In the black soil of the distant Northeast, since the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the half-nomadic and half-cultivated state, the national power has been growing rapidly.
Nurhaci without authorization divided Liaodong and Northeast China into three states: Liao, Jin, and Manchu, and named the land of the three Koreas Hanzhou.
The land of Three Koreas is not big, but it has a lot of power.
Goguryeo, Buyeo, Jebaek, Jimu, Jinhan, Mahan, more than a dozen forces of various sizes spread across the land of the Three Hans, and the overlord is naturally Goguryeo of Li Wonhao.
The three northeastern states of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were vast and sparsely populated, and they urgently needed the population of the three Han Dynasties to fill them in order to develop the huge land resources under their rule.
Therefore, not long after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci sent his general Wanyan Agu as the chief general and his son Huang Taiji as the deputy general to lead a hundred thousand troops to conquer the three Korean countries, which naturally caused panic in the three Korean countries.
The Wanyan family where Wanyan Aguda belonged was an old aristocratic family in the Yuanwuhuan clan, and was still related to the Aixinjueluo family where Nurhachi belonged. The Wanyan family also made great contributions during the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
, so Wanyan Aguda is more suitable to be the leader than Huang Taiji.
The countries of the three Koreas have always been duplicitous and attached themselves to whoever was stronger. Seeing the strength of the Qing army, they naturally handed over their orders to express their willingness to become vassal states of the Manchu Qing.
Nurhachi intended to completely conquer the three Koreas and use the population of the three Koreas to develop his own land, so he did not accept the requests of the client countries at all.
It was impossible for the three Koreas to remain vassal states. Finally, under the leadership of King Li Wonho of Goguryeo, the three Koreas formed a coalition to jointly resist the Manchu invasion.
After more than a dozen countries united, their total military strength was already greater than that of the Manchus. However, due to the different ideas of the coalition forces, they were repeatedly defeated by Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda conquered the Three Koreas and won many battles, and destroyed many small countries in succession. Just when he was about to continue to expand his results, Nurhachi transferred Wanyan Aguda back from the front line on the grounds that he needed important military affairs, and asked him to
His son Huang Taiji became the commander-in-chief and continued to conquer the Three Koreas.
Wanyan Aguda knew that Nurhachi was actually afraid of him, fearing that he would achieve greater achievements, so he transferred him back at this time, but Wanyan Aguda did not dare not to come back.
Although Wanyan Aguda was the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everything he and Wanyan's family had was given to him by Nurhaci, and if he dared to disobey Nurhaci, everything he had would be taken away.
Wanyan Aguda was not willing to be controlled by others forever, but until the Wanyan family had the power to fight against the Aixinjueluo family, Aguda could only listen to Nurhaci honestly.
