"...Zhu Hang, Wang Fan and other princes left the capital one after another. Although there were still ministers such as Tongzhi Privy Councilor Liu Renmao in charge of the battle, they were completely in decline. Wang Boqian, Liang Fuzhong, Yang Yongdong, Yan Shiyong, Li Ji and other ministers were in charge.
The peace faction had the upper hand, and when they heard that the Hu barbarians were heading south again in October, they even fantasized about being able to cross the river with the Chihu people to rule, and thus firmly advocated a truce and peace..."
"...At that time, in addition to King Jing, many ministers from both the government and the public wrote letters admonishing Emperor Xuan to leave the capital to temporarily avoid the enemy. Liu Renmao, a member of the Privy Council who knew the same thing, also wrote a letter to the official family to order Hu Kai, the defense envoy of Caizhou, to pass by Jinghu North Road.
Liu Xian, the envoy to appease the troops, and Hu Zhixiang, the envoy to appease the Huainan West Road, led their troops to serve the king. At that time, troops from Hubei, Huaixi and other places had already moved, but Wang Boqian, Liang Fuzhong, Yang Yongdong, Yan Shiyong and others still insisted on rowing the river to beg.
After hearing the news, the worried Chi Hu people sent troops to cross the river. Not only did they dissuade the officials from leaving the capital, they also immediately issued a message to stop Hubei and the Huaixi troops from marching north..."
"...At the end of October, the central government still imagined that by cutting the land north of Hebei and east of Hebei, it would be able to suspend its troops. They even sent Wang Boqian, Liang Fuzhong, Yan Shiyong and others as envoys to cross the river to convey the order to the defenders of the cities on the north bank of the Yellow River to present the city. Liang Fuzhong arrived at Weizhou
After passing the imperial edict, the soldiers who defended the city and the countryside were killed in anger. After hearing the news, Wang Boqian and Yan Shiyong fled to King Lu of Weizhou. They did not dare to mention the matter of dedicating the city again. Instead, they wrote to the court with Yang Maoyan and others to remonstrate with King Lu.
Zhao Guan, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei army, raised troops to prepare the captives. The captive troops came to surround Weizhou, and Wang Boqian, Yan Shiyong and Yang Maoyan accompanied King Lu across the river and fled to Qizhou..."
"...On December 13th, it was a snowy day. Thousands of soldiers advanced towards Nanxunmen, with arrows raining down like rain. Even the divine soldiers appointed by the officials could not withstand them for a moment, and they abandoned their troops in a hurry.
Jia fled down the city tower, and the city gate fell into the enemy's hands so easily. At night, all nine gates of the outer city were attacked by the soldiers. That night, countless residents of the outer city were killed. At this time, the kings, emperors, concubines, etc.
Everyone in the royal family, including the concubine and the prince of Prince Jing's palace, had fled into the imperial city in panic. The officials hastily sent Prince Zhao Xu and his servant Li Ji to the Jin army to beg for peace. But at this time, there was no way to stop the troops and beg for peace.
Possible? By the 19th, the captive soldiers had generally controlled the inner and outer cities and surrounded the imperial city. The fire in the city spread endlessly, and the remaining defeated soldiers hid in the alleys and looted them wantonly. Thousands of houses were burned down.
, the people had no way to escape, and the women painted their faces with gray ink and tried every means to survive, it was so miserable. On the 27th, the officials ordered that all the gates of the imperial city be opened to beg for surrender, and they also invited the captive envoys to enter the imperial city to spy on the emperor and concubine for marriage. After that, in addition to
Hundreds of girls, musicians, craftsmen and other people of all kinds were sent to the captive army. The officials also ordered the families of officials from Hedong, Hebei and other states in Bianliang to be sent to the captive camps..."
"...the soldiers entered the city, burned, killed and looted for more than a month. The streets were full of corpses. On February 26, the Red Husbands sent envoys into the city with a fake edict to depose the emperor. They deposed the officials and made them common people, and turned the officials into common people.
, the Queen, the King of Yan, the King of Yue, as well as the concubines, princesses, and captains were escorted into the prison camp. Liu Renmao, the Privy Councilor with Tongzhi, hanged himself in his house on the same day. At the end of February, the king, who had been in prison until now, was not tried.
Qi Yong and the generals who surrendered to the captives discussed raising Li Ji, his servant, as the emperor, pretending to establish the Kingdom of Chu and vassalizing Chihu; in addition, Yue Hailou led his troops into Bianliang at the end of February..."
There were hundreds of thousands of captive soldiers who tightly controlled Bianliang and the cities near Gyeongsang Province. Zhou Jing went directly south from Luliang Mountain and sneaked to Bianliang to spy on intelligence. It was not until mid-March that he had the opportunity to bring a few of the people who had been lurking before.
The secret informant returned to Chushan and reported many details before and after the fall of Bianliang City to Xu Huai face to face.
Xu Huai sat behind the case with a calm face, and casually took a pen and ink to write down several important events after the fall of Bianliang. It can be seen that the Chihu people were also surprised that Bianliang City was captured so easily.
There must have been serious disagreements among the Chihu kings about what to do after occupying Bianliang, which is why the decision to depose Emperor Tianxuan was delayed until the end of February.
The introduction of the surrendered minister Li Ji as the new emperor also proved that the Red Hu people did not have the confidence to annex the entire Dai Viet at this time, and instead supported the puppet regime in Hehuai as a buffer.
This is not much different from Xu Huai's previous prediction that the Chihu people would focus on digesting Hedong and Hebei counties.
This also means that the Huai River line will not directly face huge military pressure for the time being. At least the main cavalry force of the Chihu people will not advance directly to the south for the time being - even if Yue Hailou leads his troops into Bianliang, even the Chihu people may
Having Yue Hailou command Bianliang to surrender his troops will not pose much of a threat to the southern front in a short period of time.
Yue Hailou has three heads and six arms, and Bianliang is like a lost dog. The 890,000 soldiers and generals surrendered. How can he easily integrate them?
This is why Xu Huai strictly controlled the expansion of the Tianxiong Army. Otherwise, there would be no big problem if the Tianxiong Army could be directly expanded to 20,000 people or even larger.
On the one hand, Xiangyang's currently guaranteed allocation of 500,000 gu of money and food to Chushan each year seems to be a lot, but it is still not enough to support an elite army.
On the other hand, when Xu Huainan returned to Chushan, he had about 7,500 capable soldiers, but among them, there were nearly 3,500 captured soldiers from the Tianxiong Army and Jianrui recruited from the Luliang Mountains to resist the rebels.
, accounting for almost half.
Many of these strong men have not fully recovered, but they are more precious than the young men recruited from the refugees.
Although before the Chihu people invaded the south, the Tianxiong Army, Xuanwu Army, Xiaosheng Army and other forbidden armies had too many shortcomings from top to bottom. They were timid and fearful of the enemy, causing trouble, robbing households, bullying the subordinates and concealing the superiors, and being greedy and lacking in food and salary.
, to name a few, but after experiencing this catastrophe, most people's shortcomings have been eliminated, and what is left is more of an innocent heart.
In particular, the Luliang Mountain rebels are strong and powerful. Most of them are the remnants of the Xuanwu Army, Xiaosheng Army, Xindai and other local defenders who fled into the mountains to resist after being defeated. Those who are weak-minded or have no worries either escape or
Surrender to the enemy.
Xu Huai did not want to simply break up these troops and integrate them into the Tianxiong Army.
He wanted to take advantage of this rare moment of respite to arrange for them to settle down in Chushan as soon as possible.
For generals who were born in the Forbidden Army, if their families were lucky enough to survive in the Taiyuan garrison, especially their young children, they basically practiced martial arts since childhood and danced with guns and sticks, which are rare and precious military potential in Chushan.
.
Those generals who were refugees or illegally joined the army, according to the old system of Dai Viet, they were separated from their original families the moment they were sent to the army; even if there were those who were concerned about their children, most of them had fled before, and most of the remaining ones were alone.
, Chushan will also arrange the wedding as soon as possible.
Marriage is not to help them marry yellow girls, but to arrange for them to marry women who have fled to Chushan with their children. Just like when more than 4,000 women and children from Shuozhou were relocated, they tried their best to arrange for them to marry the bandits of Tongbai Mountain.
The combination of the generals who were born and the soldiers who were later captured in Gongxian and surrendered to Chushan were the same.
Therefore, Xu Huaihui would organize this group of people into the nearest township soldiers and warriors in the unit of the township division. In one to two years, they would be integrated into Chushan as soon as possible and become the elite seeds that the Chushan camp could rely on in the future.
, instead of directly diluting it and using it among the various camps of the Tianxiong Army.
Of course, Chushan’s existing township divisions are nearly full.
Over the past year or so, cofferdams have been built and the newly cultivated fields on the slopes have been almost all allocated.
Even if there is still room for excavation in these areas in the future, many people have seriously insufficient farmland before and need to further replenish their cultivated land.
However, even if the strategy of "contrary to reality" is implemented, and only (capital) inspection departments or military villages for purely military defense purposes are set up in areas other than Qingyi Ridge, Zhouqiao, and Jinniu Ridge, the Chushan Mountains will still be maintained in the inner perimeter.
, compiled by Xinyang County.
In Xinyang, there are mostly main fields and houses on both sides of the Shixi River, but on the north and south wings of the Shixi River, at the eastern foot of the South Ridge of Tongbai Mountain, there are still a large number of slope fields and valleys that can be cultivated.
The next focus of the camp commander's work is to quickly advance the establishment of a new township department in Xinyang and the resettlement of family affairs.
Countless refugees fled south from Gyeonggi and Song, Chen, Xucai and other places, and they mainly evacuated through Pingjing, Wushengguan and Jinghu North Road.
Chushan is a large area here, and it really can't accommodate too many households.
Even households in Queshan, Zhenyang, Shangcai and other places north of the Huaihe River have to move south of Tongbai Mountain.
"In the camp of the Sima Yuan, a Cao was appointed to control the map and spy on the military situation. The fifth uncle recommended you to join the military and take charge of the affairs. Yan Xiaoyi and Zhang Xiongshan will be your assistants. In addition, the newly built warrior dormitory in the state school is in short supply of manpower.
I need you to teach part-time for a period of time," Xu Huai said to Zhou Jing, who had just returned from Bianliang. "At this juncture, there is no time for you to go back and spend a few days with your family. Just take over the job when you are ready...
"
Xu Huai was initially extremely disappointed with the imperial court and intended to set up the Yue Yu Tower to handle lurking, intelligence and spying. However, at this time, he supported King Jing on the throne, and it was inappropriate to set up another Yue Yu Tower outside Xiangyang.
Easily susceptible to suspicion.
Of course, intelligence gathering and other matters are indispensable, but Xu Huaihui officially established a new Cao in Xingying Sima Yuan to take charge of this task, so there is no need to mention Yue Yu Tower.
The pastures, mines, horse herding, workshops and other matters previously under the jurisdiction of Zhufengtang, as industrial and mining production developed within the Chushan camp, will also be merged with the reclamation, construction and other matters under the Changshiyuan.
It is managed by Shi Zhen, Su Laochang, Xu Wuliang, Xu Sheng and others.
However, the caravans and shops set up by the original Zhufengtang in Biyang, Xiangyang and other places for transporting, selling armor, weapons and ironware, and Tongbaishan Products will continue to be independent of the Changshiyuan, led by Liu Qiong
The son is in charge.
At the beginning of the Dai Viet dynasty, a martial arts school was set up in the Vu Thanh King Temple in an attempt to establish a complete training and selection system for military attaches. They even ordered the state to set up a warrior studio to teach martial arts and military techniques.
However, Dai Viet worshiped literature and suppressed martial arts too much. Although the imperial court established a martial arts school, no one was willing to enroll in it. The martial arts school only existed for a very short period of time before it was abolished.
Xu Huai is now the general manager of the military, military and horse capital and knows Shenzhou. As part of the affairs of the state academy, the state school must be run.
The establishment of samurai houses under the state school to train and select middle- and lower-level military generals is also based on ancestral laws.
The generals who returned to the south and the dozens of Han generals who followed Chen Zixiao, Zhang Xiongshan and others who left the Khitan and returned to the south will be the first batch to enter the warrior's house.
The most important basic skills for basic generals and military officials are to learn to read and even draw maps, and to be familiar with military intelligence and spying. Zhou Jing, Shi Zhen's son-in-law Jiang Xie and others are currently serving as part-time instructors in the samurai residence.
Of course, Lifengyuan will not mention it again for the time being...
