Chapter 573: Xie Jueyuan
May has already entered summer, and the breeze with a hot breath blows the endless golden wheat waves outside Yanjing City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the war lasted in the Gyeonggi Plain for more than half a year, several battles controlled several specific areas such as Tieseongling, Fenglindu, Fujiaoling, and Yanjingseong, and lasted not for long, and the damage to agricultural production was even far less than the withdrawal of the six lords from the Gyeonggi Plain.
After more than ten days of cleaning up, the remnants of the bricks and stones caused by the collapse of the Qianzhen Palace were completely removed, the south tower of the palace city was rebuilt, and the Yao family's eight-pole lock dragon array was deployed in the Yuling Mountain, and the Yanran Palace finally recovered its old appearance a little and was able to operate normally.
According to the discussion on the night of the capture of Yanjing City, the Guining army was reduced to 300,000 by mid-May, and Huang Peiyi resigned from the post of lieutenant general of the Guining army, and Yao Izumo took over, taking charge of the defense of Yanjing City and nearby areas.
After Huang Peiyi resigned as the lieutenant general of the Guining Army, he will serve as Zuo Cheng, and will rebuild the outer court system with the assistance of Yao Chuqiu, Zhao Ruhui, Su Yuan, Ji Yuanren and others, and take charge of the world's government affairs.
On the basis of the sword cultivation camp, Chen Hai selected more than 20,000 elites from the Guining Army, the Long Xiang Army and the children of the Hanmen of the Tianji Academy Palace to form a new Su Guard Army, which was responsible for the Su Guards of Yanran Palace, and Yao Izumo controlled them.
Chen Hai was personally in charge of the Taiwei Mansion, and the Guining Army, the Long Xiang Army, the Shinjuku Guard, the Tianji Academy, the General Supervisor and other military divisions would all be under the control of the Taiwei Mansion, and Yao Zhi, Sun Gan, Zhou Jingyuan, Xue Cun, Yao Qitai, Guo Hongju and others entered the Taiwei Mansion to serve as Si Cheng and Changshi to assist Chen Hai in taking charge of the military power in the world.
Yang Qiaoer and Guining Hou were tired, and at this time, they also came down from Yuling Mountain, lived in Ningshou Palace and Prince East Palace respectively, and began to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne.
After the capture of Yanjing City, a total of 360,000 soldiers of the Su Guards surrendered, and all the military attachés from the sword attendants of Yanran Palace were eliminated (when this part of the generals fell in Yanjing City, almost all of them fled north with Wei Ziya, Zhao Zhong and others), most of the generals were the children of the Hanmen who were born in the Gyeonggi Plain;
However, the sons and daughters of these sect lords and their subordinates were all from small and medium-sized sect lords, and the descendants of the six lords, after the conflict between Chen Hai and the inner court intensified, almost all escaped from Yanjing City through redemption and withdrew to Jiyang County.
This also makes the source of these 360,000 soldiers much purer than imagined.
On the one hand, Chen Hai moved 360,000 soldiers to Shenling Mountain to accept the reorganization of the third and fourth town divisions of the Longxiang Army, and at the same time, through Zuocheng Mansion, officially promulgated a new policy of dividing the fields of the Juntian Army, confiscating all the cultivated land of the six lords in the Huze Mountains and forests in the Gyeonggi Plain, and dividing them to the generals of the Longxiang Army and the Guining Army.
However, the six lords and their subordinate lords occupied too much land in the Gyeonggi Plain, not counting the large tracts of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers that were enclosed for the descendants to cultivate or build mansions, and the cultivated land alone was as high as 200 million mu, plus the fields occupied by the previously confiscated Su Guards, which accounted for nearly half of all the cultivated land in Gyeonggi.
While reorganizing 360,000 soldiers, Chen Hai did not rush to launch an offensive against Wushengguan, but took the lead in joining forces with the Huang clan and the Yao clan to launch a land division movement in the Gyeonggi Plain.
This time, not only did the six lords and their subordinate clan lords, as well as the cultivated land forcibly occupied by the old Su Guards, be taken out, and in addition to the generals of the Long Xiang Army and the Guining Army, more parts were distributed to the tenant farmers who were completely dependent on the clan lords before.
The Yao clan also took out almost all the cultivated land occupied by the two wings of Yuting Mountain, and relieved the personal attachment of millions of tenant farmers to the Yao clan.
In addition to solving the problem of the future source of troops for the Longxiang army, this move is mainly to include the resources produced by the Gyeonggi Plain and previously occupied by the suzerains into the national treasury through political means such as land tax, commercial tax, and mining tax.
In the future, the annual land tax that can be collected in the Gyeonggi Plain alone will be as high as 50 or 60 million stone of grain, and together with the large number of Yaoshan mines that were directly submerged into the Liuju and included in the national treasury this time, as well as a large number of foundry factories and workshops discarded by the Liuvale, the material foundation for resisting the invasion of blood demons in the future can be laid.
Without these, even if Chen Hai could gather millions of troops in the Northwest Regions in the future, what would he do with the logistics and supplies?
Even if they could join forces with Hexi in the future and establish a solid defense line on the front line of Yuchengling, Tieliuling, Taiwei Mountain, and Helan Mountain, as long as a small number of blood demons infiltrated in, the agricultural production in Hexi, Tianshui and other places would also be greatly damaged, and they would have to rely on supplies from the Gyeonggi Plain and the eastern and southern parts of Gyeonggi.
Even at this time, Chen Hai needed to transport a large amount of materials to Liquan, further expand the Tianji warweapon production base in Liquan, and continue to build a new channel to the west of Yuting Mountain to ensure the smooth transportation of materials.
At this time, in addition to stabilizing the situation in Gyeonggi and rectifying military affairs, there were a lot of affairs to be busy, and the forces of the suzerains represented by the six lords of the nine feudal domains were also even more agitated because of the collapse of the Suwei army.
Every day's military information letters flew like snowflakes into the Taiwei Mansion built at the eastern foot of Yuling Mountain.
Taiwei Mansion and Zuo Cheng Mansion and the Tianshu Yuan in charge of the world's sects and other central institutions are all in the imperial city, with Taiwei Mansion and Zuo Cheng Mansion as the core, because Taiwei Mansion is located at the eastern foot of Yuling Mountain, also known as the East Mansion, Zuo Cheng Mansion is located at the western foot of Yuling Mountain and is also known as the West Mansion, and the East Mansion and the Renshou Palace where the concubine Yang Qiaoer lived, only separated by a vermilion palace wall.
During this period of time, the affairs were too busy, even with the help of Sun Gan, Yao Zhi, Yao Qitai, Zhou Jingyuan, Xue Cun and others, Chen Hai was still very busy, and Ning Chan'er also temporarily stayed in the Taiwei Mansion to assist Chen Hai in handling military affairs.
Chen Hai went to the camp of the Third Town Division under the command of Yao Wenjin, and after studying with Yao Wenjin the plan for the Third Town Division to send troops to Tiechengling and attack Wusheng Pass, he flew back to Taiwei's Mansion with Cang Yi, and saw Ning Chan'er, who was helping him browse the official letter in the main hall, holding a silk book in her hand, and her eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
Chen Hai walked over and took the official letter from Ning Chan'er's hand, but it was the latest situation of Huang Shuangchuan's text.
The Miao clan of Liangyong County has completed the gathering of troops, and the 600,000 Iron Wolf Army has gathered at Chomaling, about 500 miles northeast of Tongkou, and at this time, the number of troops gathered in Hexi in Wolong City has reached an unprecedented 500,000.
At present, it is early summer in May, from Choma Ling to Tongkou City, the periphery is flooded, only the slope close to the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, there is a passage to directly attack Tongkou Land, but this passage is relatively narrow, and the Longxiang Army War Bird Battalion can quickly attack from the depths of the western foot of Qintong Mountain, these many factors, so that the 600,000 Iron Wolf Army has not come out of Chopping Horse Ridge for the time being, and launched a fierce attack on Tongkou.
But no matter what, the situation in Tongkou, Tianjun, Yandang and other cities is already precarious, and if Chen Hai does not send reinforcements over, with less than 400,000 soldiers and horses under Huang Shuang and Yan Yuan, it will be difficult to stop the combined forces of Hexi and Liangyong, which already have 1.1 million troops.
"It's time to give up on Yandangyuan. Chen Hai sighed slightly.
Sun Gan, Yao Qitai, Xue Cun and others, who were also assisting Chen Hai in handling official business in the main hall of the public hall, were all shocked, and said: "Yandang was originally the place where the Longxiang army started, and it took a lot of effort to operate for many years, it would be a pity to give up, and the Longxiang army held the Yandang Plain, and the alliance with the Huayang Sect was established, once we withdraw the soldiers and horses from the Yandang Plain, the Huayang Sect may soon surrender to the enemy......
"The Longxiang army is not so strong to support multi-front operations, and Huang Shuang and Yan Yuan's troops retreated to Qintong Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to ensure that we have no worries," Chen Hai said, "As for Tianshui County, I will send people over to persuade Wu Cheng, Wu En, and Qu Xiyuan to lead their clansmen to move into Qintong Mountain......"
"Wu Cheng once led 100,000 soldiers and horses with General Yunya to surround Dong Chou in Qintong Xiguan, Wu Cheng finally gave way and let Dong Chou lead his troops to withdraw to Hexi; ”
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, where can I manage so much? I sent people to persuade them, but it depends on them whether they want to or not. Chen Hai said, and asked Sun Gan and them to immediately draw up a detailed plan for the 400,000 elites of the first and second town divisions of the Longxiang Army, as well as millions of relatives and craftsmen, to withdraw from Yandangyuan to Liquan, and let Huang Shuang and Yan Yuan implement it.
After Chen Hai sat back on the long case, he was about to read through the important documents that Ning Chan'er had selected for him, when two extremely powerful auras came directly to the Taiwei Mansion.
One of them was very familiar to him, it was Huang Qiwei, the ancestor of the Huang family, and the other breath was as calm as the warm autumn sun, but it was by no means under Huang Qiwei.
"Huang Laozu invited Xie Zhenren out of the mountain!"
Chen Hai stood up happily, took Cang Yi, Ning Chan'er, and Sun Gan them, and walked out of the main hall to welcome them out, and after a while, he saw Huang Qiwei and a blue-robed old man walking in side by side, not Xiling Sword Venerable Xie Jueyuan, who is it?
Xie Jueyuan is one of the very few Tianbang powerhouses in Yanzhou who rose in the Hanmen, but did not establish and reproduce the clan, and because of his support for the disciples of the Hanmen, the contradiction with Huang Qiwei gradually deepened, and finally the same brother discorded, left the Helan Sword Sect, and went to Yanjing to cultivate more than 100 years ago.
Xie Jueyuan once served as the Grand Sacrificial Wine of the Academy, and then served as the deputy envoy of the Heavenly Council, above the Three Princes and Nine Qings, but since the sect lord seized the place, the Heavenly Council in charge of the world's sects has existed in name only, and the deputy envoy of the Heavenly Council is only a fictitious title.
Since Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and others controlled the Su Guard Army and the Inner Court, Xie Jueyuan was neither willing to join the same stream with the Inner Court, nor willing to take refuge in the British King.
Although Xie Jueyuan did not return to the Helan Sword Sect, the grudge with Huang Qiwei more than 100 years ago was thus eliminated.
Chen Hai can directly win the heavenly list at this time There are too few powerhouses, so naturally he will not let Xie Jueyuan go, and after taking Yanjing City, he asked Huang Qiwei to personally return to Yeguling and persuade Xie Jueyuan to go out of the mountain.
Xie Jueyuan is not only a powerhouse in the Dao Fetal Realm, he has served as a great sacrificial wine in the Academy Palace for decades, and during this period, he has also supported the children of the Han Sect, and his reputation is extremely high, such as Ji Yuanren, Xue Cun and others are all under Xie Jueyuan's guidance;
These hundreds of disciples can also be said to be the representatives of the few Hanmen disciples in Yanzhou, there are four cultivators in the Dao Dan Realm, and there are nearly thirty cultivators in the Ming Realm Realm......
Seeing that Huang Qiwei successfully invited Xie Jueyuan out of the mountain gate, Chen Hai was really overjoyed, and said with a long salute:
"Chen Hai has seen my Xiling Sword Venerable Ancestor!"
Xie Jueyuan stared at Chen Hai, didn't return the salute, and asked directly: "Chen Hai, let me ask you, do you have the idea of becoming an emperor?"
Seeing Xie Jueyuan's question so direct, Chen Hai thought to himself that it was no wonder that he had a conflict with Huang Qiwei in his early years, and said: "Under the catastrophe, it is as dangerous as an egg. If I can survive this catastrophe, I may have the intention of becoming an emperor, but now, I want to survive this catastrophe, but I don't know if I can survive this catastrophe. ”
