Although the Zhendong Army "accidentally" led to the death of Huangfu Mingze, one is the king and the other is the father.
Faced with a dilemma, Wang Yu, the general who ruled the country, was willing to take the punishment on his father's behalf and wanted to die in return for his kindness.
Fortunately, many generals died to remonstrate with him, so Wang Yu felt that the world was uncertain and all the thieves in the world were not at peace, so he temporarily left his body to perform meritorious deeds in his father's stead.
However, his father's crime was obvious. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma. Wang Yu forced the general of Zhendong, Wang Chang, to write a letter of guilt to the world. After that, he knelt in front of the door for seven days and asked his father to guard the mausoleum of His Majesty Mingze for three years.
Atoning for his sins.
But after this change, Zhendong Army has no master!
Therefore, the generals of the Zhendong Army led by Black Cavalry Commander Xue Rengui, Anyi Guards Su Lie Su Dingfang, Xuanwei General Guo Ziyi, and Huaiyuan General Xue Wanche, together with the generals of the Yanbei Prefecture Army, persuaded the eldest son Wang Yu to take over as the Zhendong General and
The Duke of Zhendong.
On March 15th, a Taoist diviner predicted good luck, and Wang Yu officially took over the throne on that day and assumed the position of General Zhendong.
The 300,000 Zhendong Army, excluding the Black Cavalry, the remaining 100,000 most elite are the 100,000 Kwantung Army left in Dongyi according to Wang Yu's plan.
Among the generals who stayed in Dongyi, although some were generals who originally belonged to the Zhendong Army, most of them were Wang Yu's generals.
Especially as a general of the Yang family, there are a large number of people in this family, and there are endless generals who can serve as the backbone of the army. Over time, when these generals are truly integrated into this army, sooner or later these 100,000 troops will truly belong to him.
Wang Yu.
Merely being a nominal general of the Zhendong Army is of no use. Only when all the power of the Zhendong Wang family is truly in his hands, can this Zhendong General have real meaning.
.
The reason why the Four Towns General Mansion has amazing control over the troops below is because the middle and lower-level generals in the army are all from trusted troops like Black Cavalry.
Only the Yang family generals with a large number of people can attack the ruling foundation of the 100,000 Zhendong Army as quickly as possible.
At that time, even if Wang Chang stood up again, he would not be able to interfere with Wang Yu's command of this unit.
The remaining vacancy created by the Zhentong Army due to the Kwantung Army is different from the original Zhentong Army. This is a new piece of cake. Just like the original Fu Army, it can be quickly cut and occupied.
a new piece of cake.
In fact, among the armies of Yanbei, the one that Wang Yu had the strongest secret control was never the Zhendong Army, but rather the Fu Army, which was formed later or even just a few years ago.
The middle and low-level generals of the Zhendong Army were all Wang Chang's men. With these people around, the others almost got military power, but Wang Chang could easily take back the military power with just one sentence.
Only Guo Ziyi, Xue Wanche and others who were deployed in the newly formed government army at that time were able to truly gain control of a group of people through their subtle influence over such a long period of time.
The first step for Wang Yu to take control of the Zhendong Army is to eliminate Wang Chang's influence on the Zhendong Army. This is also the first thing that every new Zhendong general does after taking office, so that this huge military force can
Become one of them, rather than still the same person as the previous Zhendong General.
Wang Yu's left and right hands flipped over each other, solving half of the problem.
At the same time, with the replacement of the old and new Zhendong generals, Wang Dangzhi and Xiao Dong of Dongyi also led their troops back to Yanbei at this time.
Next, Yanbei still has a lot to do.
The first step is to move the family members of the one hundred thousand Kwantung Army to Dongyi as soon as possible. No matter how much land each household of these one hundred thousand Kwantung Army had in Yanbei before, they will all get it when they move to Dongyi.
Double compensation.
If there is not enough farmland, then use the same amount of livestock and the same amount of property to replace the insufficient part of the cultivated land.
After all, Dongyi is a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic culture, and the proportion of cultivated land is much less important than that of Yanbei.
Although the war brought considerable trauma to the Dongyi people in Xiping Road, the implication of the people, and the large and small families who were exterminated or moved away, all of which freed up a considerable amount of land, but the 100,000 Zhendong Army
The amount of cultivated land required to move all the family members is also huge.
Although the frontier army is a dangerous industry, if you can survive, you will get some rewards in every battle. Some soldiers are rewarded in the form of land. At the same time, most of the soldiers will use the looted wealth after saving it.
Come to buy land.
For ordinary people in a farming civilization, land is everything to them, and it is also the most valuable thing they consider. There are many ordinary people, and their lifelong goal is probably to save some money to buy a few acres of thin farmland.
In particular, some of these Zhendong troops may have been frontier troops for several generations and have developed into military households. After several generations of accumulation, if they were placed outside, they could barely be regarded as a small landlord class.
If you want to completely occupy Dongyi, instead of relying on the method of establishing a small Dongyi court, you will inevitably increase the proportion of local Cang people. The family members of these 100,000 Kwantung Army are the beginning.
In addition to moving the Cang people to Dongyi, at the same time, some Dongyi people must also be moved to Da Cang.
During this battle, Wang Yu and Wang Dang captured so many prisoners one after another. Among these large numbers of prisoners, except for the 50,000 stronger ones who were selected to form the Cang Xie Army, the remaining
, will all be moved to Da Cang.
Of course, as the defeated, they also did hard work after arriving. As the defeated, they all had to bear the price of the defeated.
And those ordinary Dongyi people, if they voluntarily migrate, will be treated the same as the family members of the 100,000 Kwantung Army. As long as they come to Da Cang, they can get double the cultivated land.
After all, a considerable part of the Dongyi people's property is livestock, and their average land ownership is incomparable to that of the Cang people.
Moreover, Wang Yu actually has no shortage of spare farmland in his hands.
The relocation of these 100,000 Kwantung troops will free up a large amount of cultivated land. After several wars in Hebei, the big families may not have suffered much damage, but the small families and powerful warriors have suffered a lot.
These are countless arable lands under the control of the landlord class. When these small and powerful families were wiped out, these arable lands naturally became ownerless lands and were once again in the hands of the imperial court.
With this coming and going, the proportion of Cang people in Xiping Road will also increase by a large amount.
Only if there is a certain proportion of ordinary people in Xiping Dao, will Wang Yu have a certain basis for rule.
