Chapter 358: Deja Vu
Chapter 366 Dear
Zhuo Buyi sat down on the chair and poured a cup of herbal tea himself, took a sip and continued, "It should be that the rebels released the news. Now all the northern roads, including Gyeonggi Province, know about the defeat in the northwest, which prompted His Majesty to make a decision immediately. The news from the Dawei Office said that His Majesty had issued an order to announce the defeat of the northwest of the world, and to make Li Yuanshan's rebellion public, and at the same time announced the recruitment of civil war."
"Recruiting Minsheng?"
Fang Jie was shocked and always felt that there was something wrong or something that could not be imagined.
"Recruiting civilians is the fastest way. Although the Great Sui Dynasty has excellent soldiers and sufficient food, it is difficult to mobilize all the soldiers guarding the war. Even if it is drawn, it will take too long to get from all over the country to the northwest... Just the Ministry of War is busy enough. You need to count the number of soldiers and horses to be mobilized. Don't underestimate this sentence. You can imagine how many people you need to run back and forth between the various roads in order to count a number. When this number is summarized, it will take at least one year. Without this number, you cannot raise supplies. This is not the first Western Expedition, when the national treasury is full. Now you are concerned about it..."
Fang Jie rubbed his eyebrows: "I haven't thought so much before, I always feel that fighting is just a matter of His Majesty."
"This is right. It is indeed a matter of Your Majesty's words. But it's not a matter of one or two days from the time Your Majesty said this to being able to take action. But it's different to recruit civil warriors. Now, the young and middle-aged people who signed up for the army in Gyeonggi Province have already exceeded 300,000. According to this degree, it's easy to recruit million civil warriors in the northern dynasty. Moreover, weapons, armor and horses are prepared by themselves, and the consumption of the national treasury has been reduced to a minimum. All the remaining money is used as military pay, which is also beneficial to the morale of civil warriors."
Fang Jie still felt a little worried. Some ominous things in his vague memory seemed to be gradually matching the current situation in the Sui Dynasty. But for a moment, he couldn't think of something ominous, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"In terms of combat power, civilians are far less brave than combat soldiers, and even county soldiers are not as good as military soldiers."
"The people in the Ministry of War are earlier than you think of this."
Zhuo Buyi said: "According to the plan, all Min Yongs will be organized by 10,000 people and one battalion. Among them, veterans will be drawn to serve as the team above. The battalion will be formed first and the number of troops will be trained at least two or three months. At this time, Min Yongs formed in advance have been trained for a while, and the basic formation can be almost mastered. Those who have not trained may wish to go to the northwest first, and they will definitely need to train before the war."
"And the initial battle is definitely not about using civil courage, but also about using war soldiers to fight the vanguard."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Even if there is training, the biggest problem is not this, but the soldiers' emotions... The people join the army with anger, and they hate the traitors. But once they see blood on the battlefield, it is still unknown how much of that ambition is scared away by fear. How many of them are vowed to kill the enemy if they go on the battlefield, but when they see the incomplete body, they are so scared that they pee their pants?"
Zhuo Buyi said: "So at the beginning, the warriors must have started the war, and then the generals who led the troops would take the people to watch the war. Let them feel the atmosphere of several wars... You are too pessimistic. Are you not afraid of the warriors for the first time on the battlefield? When the army went south to destroy Shang, how many people were scared to the point of being so scared that they were all in the battlefield? After much experience, these soldiers who were scared to pee their pants later were elite soldiers in the hundred battles!"
"To put it bluntly, they want to kill people. If they kill too many people, they are qualified soldiers. The soldiers are the most evil weapon in the world. How can they be evil if they don't kill people?"
When he heard this, Fang Jie was stunned for a moment: "What I worry most is what you are talking about... When the recruits arrive on the battlefield, there are so many cheap battles for them to fight. At that time, in order for the recruits to experience the atmosphere of the war and to adapt to the battlefield fighting, the most direct method of the leader is to let them kill people, but who can the recruits kill?"
Fang Jie sighed: "People, prisoners..."
Zhuo Buyi smiled: "You are just too pessimistic and always look at the bad points in everything. Which general in the court who has led troops for many years is not as good as you to lead troops?"
Fang Jie thought about it and then smiled: "Are you still worried about the difficulties encountered in this Western Expedition? By the way, Your Majesty really wants to fight in person?"
"It seems to be"
Zhuo Buyi said: "The news from the capital city says that when His Majesty went to court a while ago, he had announced that he would personally fight. However, all the civil and military officials in the court seemed to be trying their best to dissuade him. It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave Beijing. But it seems that His Majesty is very determined and no one can stop him."
"Will your Majesty all go with the capital? "
Fang answered the question.
"Sure, sure."
"Who will come to the Chang'an garrison?"
"Your Majesty's intention is to let the prince supervise the country and name a few people as the ministers of the regent. To put it bluntly, the queen is going to rule the government behind the curtain. Among the regent ministers, there is the general of the Zuo Guard, Yang Shunhui, who is also from a royal family. The Zuo Guard's men followed His Majesty out of the capital, but they had already urgently transferred troops from Jingji Road, Jizhou, Bazhou, Yanzhou and other places to enter Chang'an. In addition to the imperial guards and Chang'an City Defense Forces, the troops guarding Chang'an will not be less than 200,000. Yang Shunhui is a master of military tactics. When Prince Yi was trying to rebel, His Majesty relied heavily on him. I think that at that time, His Majesty wanted him to stay in Chang'an."
Fang Jie shook his head: "The prince is young, no matter what, the emperor should not leave the capital to personally expedition."
"I can't persuade you."
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "The 700,000 army died in the northwest. Your Majesty regards it as a great humiliation. If you don't personally lead the troops to wipe out the rebels, how can your Majesty bear this tone?"
"Who else is the regent?"
"There are three more people, Pei Yan, the Huangmen Minister, Zong Lianghu, the new Minister of War, and Niu Huilun, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion."
"Only Yang Shun will be involved with the royal family..."
Fang Jie frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How distrust the emperor had reached the point where his relatives were distrust. There were still several princes in Chang'an City, and it was time for these people to be used. But the emperor would rather use court officials than relatives... Zong Lianghu got up so quickly, is such an official really useful?
...
...
Fang Jie couldn't worry about anything in Chang'an City. He couldn't even figure out his own things now. Although the emperor was paranoid, he was not stupid. Fang Jie believed that he would definitely arrange everything if he wanted to leave Beijing. And his life experience had already made him anxious.
Who knows when the Shiyuan Tianzun in the dark will appear?
With his strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to kill him if he adds up.
But at this time, we must find a way to kill this disaster.
Fang Jie, Zhuo Buyi and others discussed for two days but did not come up with a good solution. The key is that if Shi Yuan hides in the dark, he can't find it. If he doesn't come out, he will not be able to find it. If he wants to set up a game and kill him, he will not be able to decide where the game is set. On the third day after Luo Yao's guidance on Fang Jie's practice, Ye Jinnan came to the door again.
"The General asked Lord Xiao Fang to parade together."
"parade?"
Fang Jie frowned and asked, "Why the military parade?"
Ye Jinnan raised his jaw slightly and said proudly: "The general has written to the court to ask for battle. For two consecutive days, the general will summon all the generals above the fifth rank of the left vanguard, and the Northern Expedition has been announced. Now the soldiers are ready to fight, just waiting for the court's order to set sail north as soon as the court's order arrives. The general wants to invite Lord Xiao Fang to parade together. The imperial envoy and the army will also be beneficial to boost morale."
After hearing these words, Fang Jie suddenly woke up.
I still underestimate Luo Yao too much, and I am still too childish.
Luo Yao showed himself the memorial he wrote a few days ago and asked for the fight. At that moment, Fang Jie began to believe that Luo Yao had no rebelliousness towards the court, but he was very powerful and had to be domineering for too long and was jealous. But at this moment, Fang Jie woke up.
Luo Yao must have received the news that the emperor was going to transfer the left vanguard to war a few days earlier than him, so he pretended to write the memorial first and took the initiative to ask for battle. A few days after he asked himself to read the memorial, Zhuo Buyi also received the news from the Great Inspector's Office. His mind was in chaos at the time, but he didn't react for a while.
Someone in the capital was responsible for Luo Yaotong's news, which seemed to be an extremely important figure. Otherwise, Luo Yao would not have received the news faster than the way the Great Inner Guard Department delivered the news. Before the Great Inner Guard Department knew the emperor's decision, the person who sent the news to Luo Yao already knew it.
A general with 400,000 troops dominates the side. There are big figures in the court who are in contact with him... Fang Jie felt a chill in his heart.
"Okay, let me clean up and go immediately."
"good"
Ye Jinnan clasped his fists and said, "I'm waiting outside the door."
Fang Jie went back to his room and changed into formal clothes, and then asked Chen Qingsan and Mu Xiaoyao to go shopping and find a way to associate with Da Ju and the others. Let them be prepared. If they really want to go north with the army, they must return to Fang Jie. In the army, the role of the twelve people outside is far less than that of being around.
With only Yan Kuang and Chen Xiaoru, Fang Jie rode his horse and followed Ye Jinnan directly towards the lieutenant school field. When he headed south, he had been blessed with the red horse he brought in during the period of time and looked quite bloated and clumsy. He didn't ride for a while, and even Fang Jie felt a little unfamiliar.
Fortunately, the Red Horse is still in the foundation and it doesn’t seem difficult to run.
But those left vanguards under Ye Jinnan couldn't help but laugh when they saw Fang Jie sitting down with the amazingly fat war horse.
When Fang Jie got on the horse, he patted the red horse's neck and whispered in his ear: "Let them be jealous of you, go, even if you are as fat as Ronaldo, you will still run faster than their horses."
The red horse sniffed, just like it knew who Ronaldo was.
However, even Fang Jie felt a little awkward. The red horse is really too fat now. Especially from the back, the huge and plump buttocks twisted when walking. However, Fang Jie thought that the red horse was a cold cavalry in the northern Liao Dynasty, and there must be no delicious food or drink to serve in his hometown. After arriving at the imperial capital, his status rose and his treatment also increased.
But after eating vigorously, it’s like a hen, and it’s strange if you don’t get fat.
The left vanguard's schoolyard is located in the north of Yongzhou City, and one side is next to the city wall occupy a huge area. The army in the city is the elite of the left vanguard, just like Luo Yao's personal soldiers. In addition to the people in the city, the left vanguard's army was divided into two groups. One group was stationed 200 miles south of Yongzhou, shocking the Southern Yan from afar. The other group of 170,000 people were stationed on the front line of southern Xinjiang, and attacking the barbarians from time to time.
There are 36,000 soldiers in Yongzhou City, which is the standard configuration of the First Guards. But these 36,000 people are selected from the 400,000 troops of the Left Front Guard!
As soon as I entered the door, I felt the solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The two big flags swayed with the wind, attracting attention.
On one side is the dragon flag of the Great Sui Dynasty, and a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon is embroidered on the red battle flag. On the top of the golden dragon is a huge character Sui Dynasty. On the other side, the big flag on the other side has no pattern but only seven simple characters. In the middle is the character Luo, and next to it is the six small characters, the left vanguard general.
When he walked into this place, Fang Jie suddenly had an illusion.
He always felt that the black-armored army was lined up in a row on the school ground, and the golden-armored general standing in the wind, standing on the stage in the wind, seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
