Zheng Yande returned to Li Quan's camp. In Li Quan's Chinese army tent, there were two more records on the detailed map.
After finishing writing, Li Quan said softly: "Tian Si, the Jurchens really think that your troops have mutinied, and I probably won't pay much attention to it in the next few days. However, when we cross the river south tomorrow night, everyone will have their coins, so you still have to be careful. Sentinel Cavalry
After the reconnaissance, it was said that there were a lot of silt and reed ponds on the route, and it was inevitable that insects, gnats, and poisonous snakes would disturb the route. However, the route could avoid the Jin army's sentries and cavalry, and no one was allowed to change it without authorization. Tell the soldiers that I will accompany it personally.
Anyone who disobeys orders, lights candles rashly, or makes loud noises will be beheaded regardless of their official position."
"As ordered. Marshal, don't worry."
"Go." Li Quan waved his hand.
Tian Si is in his thirties, tall and thin, with a sallow complexion. A scar cut across his right eye on his forehead, leaving a terrible scar under the eye socket.
The most powerful generals under Li Quan were his brother Li Fu and Liu Qingfu, who had served as a junior officer in the Jin Army. There were also dozens of generals under Li Quan. Among them, Tian Si and Chen Zhi were particularly brave and good at fighting. 2.
Everyone uses long swords, so together with Li Quan, they have a name, called "Iron Spear with Double Blades".
Of the two, Chen Zhi is better at fighting. Tian Si was originally a salt dealer, but later turned into a bandit. He ran rampant in the salt fields and killed people without planning. Most of Tian Si's subordinates were also top-notch salt thieves, and they formed an army.
From now on, I have always been good at lurking, hiding, making surprise attacks, and ambushes.
In the past few years, Tian Si's temper has become more vicious and fierce, and he also tends to be ruthless in running the army. He will be killed no matter what, whether through fire or water, or if he doesn't obey. Li Quan just gave these few orders, and Tian Si will definitely carry out them to the letter.
Maybe it will get worse and chop off a few heads first to scare the monkeys.
The troops under Tian Si's command were the ones that An Zhen thought were almost mutinous.
In fact, they have been recharging their strength for the past two days and preparing for a fierce battle. Together with Li Quan's headquarters, they are the main force preparing to ambush Pusan Anzhen and Guo Ning.
After Tian Si left, Li Quan pondered for a moment and called for soldiers to join the army: "Go to the supply camp, pick two cows and twenty sheep, kill them all, cut apart the bones, flesh and internal organs, find a few gang leaders, and follow me in a while."
Go to Tiansi Camp. Also, are you ready with all the reward money distributed in advance?"
"According to the marshal's instructions, I have prepared two thousand taels of silver, two thousand five hundred guans of copper coins, and two thousand bolts of silk."
"Double it. Come with me to the camp tonight to distribute it. In addition, the reward afterwards will be doubled as I promised before."
"yes."
Li Quan thought for a moment and then said: "From now on, anyone who can deliver news to us from Pusan Anzhen's camp... We will give them double the amount they want. If Pusan Anzhen farts loudly,
, I want to know where it was placed!”
Some of the generals around him snickered, while others said with envy: "Marshal is so generous."
"We need their eyes and ears, so naturally we will reward you generously. But in the future, I will need the swords and guns in your hands! If we win this battle, we will have everything! I will never treat you badly!"
"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals beamed with joy. Some even planned on the spot to use the money to build a house, buy land, build a manor, and marry more than a dozen beautiful girls. As a result, they were immediately laughed at: You want to
All these things can be done with a knife, so why waste money?
Li Quan gradually became uncomfortable with the joke and waved his hand. The generals immediately became solemn and retreated.
As soon as the people dispersed, another spy came back and reported to Li Quan in a low voice.
Li Quan nodded and wrote two more strokes on the map.
Just seven or eight years ago, the imperial court dispatched a nine-pronged army to attack the Song Dynasty. Several troops penetrated into the Song Dynasty and killed the southern thieves with heavy casualties. However, at the same time, the people in the Kingdom of Jin rebelled one after another, and the imperial army rushed eastward and westward.
Go ahead and suppress one fire head, and ten fire heads will follow.
The number of participants alone exceeded a thousand, and the imperial court had to dispatch heavy troops from neighboring military states to encircle and suppress them, including Daming Prefecture Ma Monk, Donghai County Zhang Wang, Shanzhou Du Kui, Gongzhou Liu Hai, Jizhou Zhang He, Guide Prefecture Zang An'er, Tongzhou
Qu Li, Xianzhou Yin Xiaoer, Mizhou Xu Tong, Jinan Liu Xizhong and more than ten others, of course, there are also Yang An'er and Liu Erzu who are very influential in Shandong.
Although the imperial court prevailed in the war with the Southern Song Dynasty, in the end they only gained 50,000 more annual coins, silver and silk each. In addition, the relationship between the emperors of the Jin and Song Dynasties was changed from uncle-nephew to uncle-nephew, but they failed to obtain a large territory.
In fact, there were fires everywhere in the rear, and the army in the front could no longer sustain itself.
Why was it that the imperial army was able to suppress the Song people, but was unable to quell rebellions in various places?
This is related to the dramatic changes in the ethnic composition of the Jin army.
At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Kingdom, the Meng'an Mou Ke army was a Jurchen warrior united from top to bottom. The army marched everywhere. The Han people in the north were like running dogs. They looked at the weak Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty like pigs and sheep. They came and went as fast as thunder. And here we are.
At this time, Meng'an Mouke was already in dire straits, and the imperial court gathered troops and had to sign in a large number of Han'ers, and all the Jurchens were appointed as officers.
It seems that this arrangement ensures the imperial court's control over the army. But in fact, after the army is assembled, the Han'er army will face the Jurchen nobles who are aloof and like wolves and tigers, while facing the desperate villagers who have raised their troops. They will
Which side do you sympathize with? Which side do you support?
From the end of Taihe to the beginning of Da'an, the imperial troops who suppressed bandits in various places were riddled with holes and leaks. Any decision or arrangement made by the Jurchen army generals in high positions would be easily leaked and fall into the wrong hands.
The rebels were in the hands of the rebels. The officials in charge of suppressing the bandits hated them deeply and had no way to kill them all. They could only massacre wherever they went in an attempt to cut off the relationship between the government and the army, the local people and the rebels.
contact.
This situation was not relieved until the imperial court introduced the Yi army to the south in a large scale.
But at this moment, Pu San Anzhen made the same mistake again.
In Pusan Anzhen's view, he had put in a lot of effort to gather the people and care for the refugees, so he should be able to win people's hearts. However, among the subordinates he gathered, many suffered more from the imperial court than received favors from the imperial court.
Those scholars who were forced to sign into the army, and the peasants who wept because they left their hometowns, followed Anzhen for nothing more than a mouthful of food. Their status as Han'er also determined that they had no future in the army.
At this time, what will happen when they meet a powerful person like Li Quan?
Pusan Anzhen always made empty promises with imperial orders, but Li Quan really gave him benefits and brought out jingling gold and silver! Who could not be tempted? Besides, Li Quan was secretly attracted by the gold and silver because he liked it.
You don’t need to bribe many people. Just one or two people in a specific position are enough to turn things around!
It's a pity...this set is useless for determining the navy.
Li Quan moved his gaze to the south of the map, looking at Zizhou, Yidu and other places, shaking his head and sighing.
The system of establishing the navy relies on soldiers, and Guo Ning really allocates fields and land to the soldiers!
Compared with money, fields are more attractive; and along with the fields are family members and expectations rooted in Shandong. This wooing of soldiers is more than just money.
Li Quan knew the difference very well, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to divide the land and divide the rich and the poor.
In the final analysis, his army and territory are still a collection of wealthy landowners. He himself, and even the generals below Li Fu, took advantage of the chaos to occupy the land, transforming themselves from ordinary wealthy people into big landowners.
And treat his subordinates as private property.
This kind of thing that cut off the foundation of the wealthy landlords and common people was something that Li Quan did not say he had done. Thinking about it is ridiculous.
But Ding Haijun did such a thing. When they massacred the landlords and wealthy people in Laizhou, they also used the imperial banner, and then used the land they took from the wealthy people to reward the heroes for themselves and win the hearts of the people!
Li Quan was really envious of this.
Perhaps, by capturing Guo Ning and Pu San Anzhen, the family's power will greatly increase. With this power, the land can be widely divided. Perhaps, the soldiers under his command can be like a navy, with only the commander in their eyes.
And always have the heart to fight to the death?
Li Quan took two steps back and forth in the Chinese army's tent. He couldn't help but feel excited and excited.
There is no doubt that this is the way to become a king. Guo Ning used it very effectively. I, Li Quan, can also follow Cao Sui. As long as I can capture Guo Ning this time, I can do better than him.
!
No, no, after capturing Guo Ning, you can temporarily use his life to intimidate the naval generals, but Guo Ning must not be allowed to live... If you keep his life for a long time, it will be a disaster. Once everything is decided,
We have to find a reason to kill him to avoid future troubles!
Thinking of this, Li Quan asked again: "What's going on at Ding Haijun?"
He emphasized his tone: "That Guo Ning is more important than Pusan Anzhen!"
