Entering September, the war between Huaisi and Si was basically concluded with Chen Hansan, Sun Zhuang and other thieves accepting recruitment.
The remnants of the Huaisi refugee army crossed the Bianshui River and entered Huaiyang. Liu Miaozhen called herself "Huangjue Tiannu" and became the new leader of the Huaisi refugee army. She occupied the vast area south of Huaiyang and north of Haozhou, and was closely related to the refugees in Shouzhou.
The Luo Xiancheng Department of the Army echoed each other from afar.
On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, Changxiang Marquis Liang Chengchong led his army to Jining. When the troops arrived at the city, they launched a fierce attack. In just one day, the Tianyi army could not resist, and Geping abandoned the city and fled south.
Yue Lengqiu led the Huai army to cross the Si River from Xuzhou, intercepted the Tianyi army fleeing south in Feng County, and combined with the army led by Liang Chengchong who was pursuing from the north, they were defeated. Ge Ping led the remaining troops to cross the Bian River and fled eastward, and in Peixian County
Surrounded by Chen Hansan.
Ge Ping surrendered and was strangled with bowstrings by Chen Hansan in Peixian City. The remaining troops, more than 10,000 people, all attached themselves to Chen Hansan.
Liu An'er and Ge Ping, the leaders of the two most powerful refugee armies in recent years, died at the hands of Chen Hansan, a former Huaishang horse bandit.
On the land on the west bank of Nansi Lake, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tianyi Army trampled and collapsed, leaving corpses lying in the fields and blood flowing everywhere. Countless people knelt to save their lives, and tens of thousands of remnants fled into Huaiyang and defected to the Red Army.

Liang Chengchong gathered tens of thousands of surrender troops and retreated to Jining.
Yue Lengqiu led the main force of the Huai army back to Xuzhou to rest and recuperate. Tao Chun led an elite force to go south from Xuzhou and made a surprise attack on Sizhou. The refugee army in Haozhou was forced to withdraw westward.
The city of Haozhou, which had twice fallen into the hands of the bandits, and the garrison of the Changhuai Army, finally returned to the hands of the officers and soldiers after a lapse of eight months. The city walls were in ruins, and it was not known whether the gates of the four cities had been destroyed by the invaders.
The bandits tore it apart and burned it as firewood.
At least on the surface, the Central Plains region has returned to the situation before the rebellion of 300,000 people who built embankments on the Yellow River.
The Tianyi army was defeated, Ge Ping was strangled by Chen Hansan in Peixian County, and Liang Chengjun led his army to Jining, which meant that the entire eastern part of Shandong was under the control of the Liang family.
In mid-September, Gu Siyuan led his troops to break camp from Suyu, cross the Sishui River, go north along the Yishui River, pass through Tancheng, Linyi, and go north from Yishui County. They stationed at Pocheyan Pass in the southern border of Linqu County and waited for the court at Pocheyan Pass.
A reward for meritorious service.
Pocheyan Pass is located on Dayan Mountain at the junction of Yishui County and Linqu County. The pass is dangerous and dangerous, with the Great Wall on the left and right and two ridges of bookcases. It is steep and narrow and can only accommodate one car. It is a natural danger in the south of Qi. It starts from the north of Linyi Prefecture.
The only way to enter Qingzhou is the gateway to the south of Qingzhou City.
Poche Yanguan was once the border of the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and today there are still beacon towers, barrier cities and other ruins of the Qi Great Wall. In the following more than a thousand years, it has been an important place that has been fought over by the north and the south. So far, the pass is still there, but it is no longer in Shandong
In the hinterland, except for Linqu County, which has set up checkpoints here, there is no official garrison.
Liang Xi was granted the title of Duke of Lu and was also appointed as the county governor. He had a great reputation and had strong soldiers and horses under his command. To prevent the Liang family from extending their hands to Qingzhou, under the current situation, military confrontation is likely to be the path that they have to take.
We must first occupy the important gateway of Poche Yanguan.
*************
After Gu Siyuan left Suyu, Lin Fu did not send troops to garrison. Naturally, he could not give it to Chen Hansan. Instead, he handed it over to the left camp of the Huaihe Crossing Army for garrison. Suining and Suyu counties were used as the border between Huaidong and Xuzhou.
buffer zone.
By mid-September, all Jiangdong Left Army units had withdrawn to the area south of Feixiaji.
Lin Fu formally established the Siyang Inspection Department in Feixiaji in the name of the Huaidong System Establishment Department.
Inspection departments are established under prefectures and counties, mainly to facilitate the administration of key passes and key areas far away from the prefecture and county cities, or to control barbarian tribes in remote areas.
The Inspection Department is a non-permanent one. The Chief Inspection Officer has the same nature as the County Lieutenant and the Official Historian. They are all robber-catching officers. They are the ninth rank and can be selected for both civil and military positions.
The inspection department of the Inspection Department has no administrative discretion. In local areas, it mainly focuses on arresting thieves and policing, and also controls key passes and key points. It is mainly used for military purposes. It usually has thirty or fifty soldiers under its jurisdiction, also collectively known as swordsmen.
Archer.
Lin Fu took office as the Huaidong system envoy. As a local military and political officer, he had no right to interfere in local civil affairs and financial affairs. However, he established an inspection department in accordance with local conditions in the defense area under his jurisdiction, and placed the inspection department under the jurisdiction of prefectures and counties.
Becoming directly under the control of the Envoy Division, and sending troops to station, control key passes and key points in the defense area, and strengthen local defense and public security, are the military and political privileges that Lin Fu enjoys in Huaidong; it is also the reason why Lin Fu is currently moving his power to Huai'an
The main means of infiltration into Hailing Mansion.
Of course, it was not possible for Lin Fu to directly ask for food and money from the local government. The food, salary and financial resources of Huaidong's envoys were all tied up by the military commander led by Liu Tingzhou.
When the Jiangdong Left Army retreated to the area south of Feixiaji, Liu Tingzhou officially notified Lin Fu that a total of 20,000 troops would be provided to the Jiangdong Left Army and the left camp of the Huaihe Crossing Army, and supplies of materials such as camp construction were also cut off.
Not to mention that Lin Fu had to pay for the new inspection department from his own pocket, but the six inspection departments originally established in Huai'an and Hailing were taken back and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Huaidong Envoy Department. From now on
, Lin Fu also had to pay for the supply of money and food out of his own pocket.
Fortunately, the construction of Feixiajiying City was provided by Shanyang County. Shanyang County under the leadership of Liang Wenzhan was willing to provide supplies, and Liu Tingzhou could not stop it.
In Huai'an Prefecture, in addition to officially setting up the Siyang Inspection Department in Feixiaji, Lin Fu also set up the Huaishu Inspection Department in Shukou; the Yunti Pass was renamed the Huaikou Inspection Department; at the intersection of Baitang River and Hongzepu
, that is, the Baitangpu Inspection Department was added in Baitangpu Town; the original Qingpujin Inspection Department was changed to the Punan Inspection Department, and the Pubei Inspection Department was set up in the Beitan Farming Area----So far, Huai'an
The number of inspection departments within the government has been increased from the previous two to six.
Baiyongpu, Punan, and Pubei are all located on the inner line, but Huaikou, Huaishu, and Siyang, plus Shanyang County, form a complete defense line to defend the Huaihe River, which is particularly important.
The Huaihe Army suffered heavy casualties in the battle at Xiapi Ancient City. The remaining troops were dispersed by Lin Fu and incorporated into Fengli Camp.
In addition to being incorporated into the remnants of the Huaihe Army, more than a thousand brave men were also selected. The Fengli Battalion was expanded from the 3,000 soldiers of the 5th Battalion before the war to 6,000 soldiers of the 10th Battalion. It became the official garrison of the Huai'an Prefecture, mainly stationed in Shanyang and Si.
Positive.
Lin Fu transferred Cao Zi'ang to the north and served as Huaidong Zhishi Envoy Marching Army Zuo Sima, controlling the military and political affairs of Huai'an Prefecture on his behalf.
Although the garrison was headed by Ning Zechen, in addition to the garrison, Lin Fu also set up an elementary combat training school, a sick and wounded camp, a military storage warehouse, and a water camp in Shanyang County.
The transportation capacity of the Heishui Ocean Channel is still very limited. After the Huaihe River channel east of Hongzepu is restored, it will be fully utilized. A small grain ship with a size of three to five hundred stones can transport grain directly from Huaikou to Jiaozhou.
Bay, enter the Jiaolai River and go north.
It is necessary to use the Huaihe River waterway to transport grain, use the inspection department to carry out military settlements, crack down on illegal salt, communicate with local officials and gentry forces, deal with Liu Tingzhou, and deal with Sun Zhuang and other generals who surrendered to the refugee army who crossed the Huai Army's left camp.
Tiao Cao Ziang came to stand alone.
Of course, it would be appropriate for Qin Chengzu to stay, but Lin Fu needed Qin Chengzu to stay by his side as a chief historian to make suggestions.
By the end of September, the official system of the Huaidong system was established, and the military system was formally determined. The Jiangdong Left Army naturally became a historical term and was renamed the Huaidong Army, with Chongzhou as its headquarters.
Lin Mengde and Qin Chengzu were appointed as commanders of the left army of the Huaidong Army. Cao Ziang and Fu Qinghe were appointed as commanders of the left and right marches of the Huaidong Army. Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingtang and others joined the army for Cao Cao.
There are six inspection departments in Siyang, Huaishu, Huaikou, Baitangpu, Pubei and Punan in Huai'an, four inspection departments in Hecheng, Jiuhua, Jiangmen and Xisha Island in Chongzhou, and Sisheng inspection department is added in Sisheng.
Inspection Department, plus the three inspection departments in Hailing Prefecture, the Huaidong Army has a total of 14 inspection departments directly under its jurisdiction.
The Huaidong Army consists of the Infantry Department, the Horse Army Department, the Navy Department, and the Work and Supply Battalion.
Lin Fu also served as the commander of the Infantry Division, which consisted of five front and rear armies of the Left Army.
Fengli Camp was also officially organized as Huaidong Zhiji Envoy Division Infantry Division Zuojun Fengli Camp, with Ning Zechen as the commander of the Infantry Division Zuojun, and organized two brigades and ten battalions with 6,000 soldiers.
The Changshan Camp was organized into the Changshan Camp of the Right Army of the Infantry Division, with Ao Canghai as the commander, and organized into one brigade, five battalions, and 3,000 soldiers.
The Guards Battalion was organized into the Guards Battalion of the Infantry Division of the Central Army, with Zhao Hu as the commander, and organized into the Second Brigade, Ten Battalions, and 6,000 soldiers.
The Chongcheng Infantry Camp was organized into the Chongcheng Infantry Camp of the Infantry Division's Front Army, with Zhou Tong as the commander, and there were five battalions of 3,000 regular soldiers.
At the same time, the left camp of the Huaihe River Crossing Army was reorganized into the Infantry Division Rear Army, with Sun Zhuang as the commander, and twenty battalions with 12,000 regular soldiers. The organization was only good-looking and nominally controlled, but it did not obey the orders.
Nor did he listen to the announcement.
Zhou Pu was appointed the commander of the horse army division and also the commander of the cavalry camp. He organized two battalions of light armored cavalry with 1,200 soldiers and armored cavalry with 200 soldiers.
Lin Fu also served as the commander of the Navy Department, under the jurisdiction of the first, second, and third Jinghai battalions, which were divided into Zhao Qingshan, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong as commanders. Sun Jingxuan was appointed as the shipping envoy, responsible for supervising the construction of the water camp warships.
.
The work camp is commanded by Sun Jingtang.
In this way, the framework of the Huaidong Army is roughly outlined.
Of course, the county soldiers and rural troops under the jurisdiction of the counties in Hailing and Huai'an are all subject to the control of the Huaidong system.
In mid-September, Lin Fu summoned Xiao Kui'an, who was the commander of the Huai'an Prefecture Army, and Wu Meijiu, the commander of the Hailing Prefecture Army, in Shanyang.
The first is to ask Xiao Kui'an to reduce the Huai'an Prefectural Army from the original twenty battalions to six battalions. Except for the two battalions stationed in Huai'an City, the two battalions stationed in Shanyang, and the one battalion each in Shuyang and Haizhou, all other counties have
If there is no garrison, the security of catching thieves and patrolling the city gates will be handled by the county's third squadron of yamen officers. If bandits are encountered, the garrison will be notified at the nearest location.
Huai'an Prefecture's military supplies were controlled by Cao Zi'ang, the commander of the army on the left.
The second is to ask Wu Meijiu to reorganize the county soldiers and township troops in Hailing Prefecture according to the Huai'an Prefecture Army, and organize the Hailing Prefecture Army into six battalions of regular soldiers. All excess soldiers should be disbanded and returned to the countryside. The Hailing Prefecture Army was concurrently commanded by Wu Meijiulai.
The envoy must accept the control of Fu Qinghe, the right commander of the Huaidong System and Envoy Division.
In order to reduce local military power, Lin Fu also wanted to significantly reduce local expenditures. In this way, the additional military expenditure of 20,000 Huaidong Army soldiers would not add additional burdens to the local areas.
Although the Huaisi War was basically over in September, there were still many trivial matters that required Lin Fu to stay and deal with them.
After the disbandment of the tens of thousands of refugees and their families, most of them went south to Chongzhou along the Baitang River, Qingjiangpu, and Beiguan Rivers, except for a few who stayed in Shanyang County.
An army of tens of thousands heading south would take ten to eight days to complete the journey, not to mention the fact that they were all poorly organized refugees and their families.
Lin Fu didn't leave Shanyang back to Chongzhou until early October.
