Chapter Ninety-Eight: Recruitment

In August of the first year of Fengtian, Feng Yan, the minister of Jiangnan, had secretly instigated the Shouzhou army, imprisoned Wu Tingshao, killed Sun Yu, and attacked the Qi army.

Emperor Qi came to Shouzhou in person, and it was peaceful.

Emperor Qi immediately issued the "Anjiang Jiangnan Jiangbei Book", and the edict said: "The ancestor of the Jiangnan Ming Ling Jianguan, now the ministers are hidden in the temple, and the night starts from the river." Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Lu Zuo's life is as usual; In the land of Jiangxi and Zhejiang, the officials and gentry were panicked; Woohoo, the ancestor left behind the virtue, and died in the Chaoduan Weifu! It hurts! Cry! I picked up the cloth, received the kindness of the ancestor of Jiangnan, and had a heartfelt alliance with the ancestor of the ancestor, Jiangnan changed greatly, virtue was lost, and the spirit of the ancestor was also angry and ...... "Yunyun."

The edict was issued, and Li Hongyi and Wu Yue of Suzhou responded with troops.

In the sun, the sea and Chu are all changing.

The commander of the Huaibei Army of Qi State made Zhang Yanqing march to the three armies, and the front of the troops was directed at Yangzhou.

Emperor Qi personally sat in Shouzhou, rectified the army and horses, built the Huainan camp, awarded Zhu Kuangye as the commander of the Huainan camp, and released Wu Tingshao, the envoy of the Baoxin Festival, and sent an envoy to Luzhou with Wu Tingshao to appease the various departments of the Baoxin Army.

The pro-army in front of his palace marched east and went to the battlefield in Yangzhou.

In fact, about the Shouzhou military rebellion, some surviving generals of the Qinghuai Army saw it with their own eyes, and there is a big discrepancy with the history books.

They saw with their own eyes how the Son of Heaven of the Northern Kingdom stabbed Sun Yu in the throat with a sword and killed Sun Yu's cronies.

However, the information that spread to the outside world has turned into the Tang lord Li Jingsui who was not in the right position, and was afraid of the Chixin Alliance of Emperor Qi and Tang Xianzhu, and instructed Feng Yan to have issued a secret order to kill Sun Yu and kill the Qi envoy who was kind enough to comfort the old capital of Shouzhou.

On the contrary, it is the history of the wild field and some later monsters, which are closer to the historical truth.

In the wild history, Emperor Qi entered Shouzhou alone, holding a three-foot sword and pacifying Shouzhou, the resulting Zhiwei is even more exaggerated, Emperor Qi is the true son of heaven, protected by nine dragons, all evil demons are not allowed to invade, it is to reincarnate those ugly officials and soldiers in Shouzhou, all of them were bitten off the head by the dragon, and the Son of Heaven pacified Shouzhou.

……

There was a lot of disturbance outside.

Lu Ning was in the carriage at the moment, as a soothing envoy, and the osmanthus went down to Luzhou in August.

From the outside world's point of view, the Son of Heaven is still sitting in Shouzhou, and Professor Wen was transferred to the Liupin Recruiting Envoy, accompanying Wu Tingshao, the former envoy of the Baoxin Army, who was released, to Luzhou to recruit the various departments of the Baoxin Army.

The armor-breaking battalion under the command of Tian Shaobin was followed by the appeasement envoy, but it had been expanded to 1,300 people, in addition to supplementing the combat attrition, and adding 300 giant swordsmen and 500 archers under the training of Zhu Kuangye of Shouzhou, the Shenwu Army.

In the first battle of Shouzhou Post House, there were not many Qi troops who entered the city one after another with the help of the Gejia caravan in advance, and there was a 300-person battalion of the pro-army in front of the palace, and 200 people in the armor-breaking battalion.

Although the armor-breaking battalion suffered heavy casualties, and nearly half of the 200 people were reduced, or killed or seriously wounded, they were not defeated in the battle to the death, and persisted until Sun Yu was killed and the whole city surrendered.

When Emperor Qi heard this, he felt his loyalty, so he formed a separate army, ordered to be a god martial arts, and belonged to the forbidden army sequence, but he did not have a town like the guards and the army, but it was not like the guards and the army, with the protection of the Holy Son of Heaven, for the time being, it was more like a mobile force in Huainan, where there was a need to move, and the current task seemed to be mainly to protect the Qi mission.

Tian Shaobin was appointed as the commander of the Shenwu Army, according to his rank, under the battalion commander and the army commander.

In the carriage, Lu Ning was reading a secret report, but it said that Chu Di Wuping made Zhou Xingfeng and also raised troops to attack Tang.

The land of Chu was previously ruled by Ma Chu, that is, Ma surnamed Southern Chu, who once ruled most of Hunan and Guangxi, eastern Guizhou and northern Guangdong.

However, later, the Guangxi region was gradually encroached upon by the Southern Han Dynasty.

Seven years ago, there was turmoil in the state of Chu, and the Southern Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to attack and break through Changsha, and Ma Chu perished.

But soon, the Tang soldiers were driven out of the Chu realm, the generals of the old Ma Chu department, after several wars and changes in this land, and now the nominally ruling Chu is the old Ma Chu department, who led the Wuping army to make Zhou Xingfeng.

Zhou Xingfeng was nominally owned by Zhou, but under his rule it has always been an independent kingdom, and several military towns under Zhou Xingfeng's rule are all independent small kingdoms, that is, Chu is now an independent kingdom and an independent small kingdom.

Qi State, Zhou Xingfeng did not claim to be a minister like Nanping, but now he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Of course, not to mention that Zhou Xingfeng's troops were already in chaos, and even the military horses that raised troops did not necessarily get Zhou Xingfeng's instructions, and it was to gather all Zhou Xingfeng's nominal subordinate military horses, I am afraid that there were only one or two thousand, maybe the so-called Tang Dynasty was just an excuse for its internal strife, such as Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Langzhou, who was already half-hearted to Zhou Xingfeng, if he raised troops to attack Tang, didn't he want to pass through Changsha or Yuezhou? Every time you allow or not, there will be trouble.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ning took out flint velvet, lit the secret report after lighting the fire.

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to her, kept looking down at the small tips of her embroidered shoes, she was now wearing a light green shirt and skirt, with a little childish face, but she combed her beautiful hair and wore a golden step decorated with light blue beads, which was even more indescribably cute.

She was thinking at the moment, the day before yesterday before departure, the three knives sent it said that it was a set of clothes, shoes and socks that could only be worn in the inner room in the husband's family rules, which was beautiful, but also, it was too embarrassing.

I secretly glanced at Mr. who was closing his eyes and meditating, and remembered the great changes in Shouzhou that day, when his whole body was curled up and tied to his chest, it was a mess, and he didn't know what was going on outside, and then he was put down by Mr., and he was ordered to hide in a secret room with three knives and four knives, and Mr. didn't know where he went.

However, Shouzhou was calmed down that night, and I heard that it was the Son of Heaven who came to Shouzhou, and it took a few days before Mr. appeared.

Although it seems that the reputation of Mr. has not been heard at all in the rumors, but thinking about it, Mr. must have made a great effort when he was in Pingshouzhou, the Son of Heaven, as if Mr., like those rangers-like literati in the poems, is not only knowledgeable, but also skilled in attack.

Moreover, I have a lot of strength, and now I think back to that night, although I am so scared in the chaos, I don't know what is going on outside, but I hang on my husband's chest like a kitten, and the feeling of peace of mind is remembered.

Glancing at it again, she suddenly saw her husband open her eyes, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head.

Lu Ning looked at her, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Are you still so afraid of me?" ”

Wandering around in all kinds of dangerous places, since I couldn't take the imperial concubines, before going to Luzhou, I went back to Yingzhou, played with Gui'er for a day, and made her temporarily stay in Yingzhou Palace, that is, the villa mansion of the big family surnamed Hu.

In the Bianjing Forbidden Palace, Lu Ning also went to the letter, if he could get off Yangzhou in one fell swoop this time, all the concubines would come and accompany me to play in Yangzhou for a few days.

As for going down to the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Ning didn't think about it, after all, the strength of the sailors was insufficient, and if he hastily conquered the south of the Yangtze River, if he was defeated, it would not be beautiful.

And the Luzhou Baoxin Army that went to Chaohu Lake, there are 20,000 sailors in Chaohu, and there are thousands of ships of all sizes, although there are many civilian ships in these ships, but they can be requisitioned at any time as ships to carry the navy.

The Chaohu Lake water system can go straight down the Yangtze River.

Of course, the so-called navy is only used in water warfare, not seasickness, and most of the soldiers know how to water, but in fact, from the perspective of naval vessels, except for the real professional building ships used for water warfare, the rest of the ships are completely civilian ships, which can be slightly modified, and the transformation is not a modification of the hull, such as a fire boat, and the use of civilian boats to load fire objects has become the purpose of warships.

In any case, for the Baoxin Army, in his eyes, the biggest role is still the Chaohu Zhongshui Division and the Luzhou official and civilian shipbuilding industry, which has flourished since the Western Han Dynasty.

Now, I want to see with my own eyes this ready-made naval base.

The princesses are not easy to bring, and this little girl has become the only companion on the journey.

This little girl, in fact, is quite interesting, she doesn't know her identity, so she doesn't have such a big etiquette, she just plays the role of her aunt's wife, and sometimes it makes people want to laugh so much that their stomachs hurt.

It's fun to see her for yourself, sometimes she scares like a bunny.

"Servant, maid is not afraid of Mr. ......" Su Xiao stammered and wanted to explain.

Outside, the voice of Tian Shaobin, the commander of the Divine Martial Forces, suddenly came, "Professor, Li Shanxing is coming to greet you ahead." ”

Tian Shaobin is now a general of the fifth grade, but he still respects Lu Ning the same as before.

……

Li Shanxing, the deputy envoy of the Baoxin Army, was a little unable to keep up with Sun Yu's rhythm, and originally agreed with Sun Yu in a secret letter that after Sun Yu imprisoned Wu Tingshao, the envoy of the Baoxin Army, Li Shanxing followed Sun Yu to surrender to Qi, and even Sun Yu's secret letter, talking about the old relationship with Emperor Qi, promised that after Li Shanxing surrendered to Qi, the high-ranking officials would be Houlu and be crowned the marquis.

Who knows, Sun Yu was killed by his subordinates who supported the Tang Lord.

However, Li Shanxing received a secret letter from Sun Yusheng, the letter should have been written on the day of the rebellion, and soon after it was sent, there was a rebellion in Shouzhou.

In the letter, Sun Yu also said that the matter of changing banners was postponed because the Northern Dynasty did not pay attention to our subordinates, which was discouraged.

Then, Sun Yu's death letter came, but he was killed by the Jinling envoy at the instigation of the rebels.

Li Shanxing was a little confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Lu Jiang, the Chaohu patrol inspector of the Baoxin Army, suddenly led the navy to change banners, and Li Shanxing didn't think twice about it, and hurriedly asked for surrender.

Emperor Qi issued an edict and ordered Lu Jiang to lead the deputy of the Chaohu Water Division to discuss and discuss matters.

This is obviously a special honor, after all, the Northern Dynasty Forbidden Army originally only had six battalions, and the newly established Huainan battalion was only seven battalions.

Lu Jiang became one of the important generals of the Northern Dynasty Forbidden Army, and he jumped from a small general in the Southern Dynasty to a member of the Northern Dynasty.

The Northern Dynasties attached great importance to the military attachés, and the former dynasty was the envoy of the Imperial Palace, and the major battalions of the Northern Dynasty recruited envoys, for the second grade, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which was the second grade, the Privy Council, and the same as the envoy of the three political courts, for the first product, and the prime minister's political affairs Zhao Pu, also from the first product.

Zhengyipin, the Northern Dynasty has not yet appeared, according to the official system, in addition to the king, it is some honorary titles, three wives and three less.

Although Zhao Pu is nominally the first person in Wenchen, his merits are far less than when he is three and three less.

It's just with the right person, and somehow he has become a member of the first class, and he is already honestly afraid.

In fact, almost all the officials who hold real power in this dynasty have followed the Son of Heaven before making their careers, so since the first-rank members or even the second- and third-rank officials, which one is not this mentality?

The group of founding heroes is this mentality, and I am afraid that it is only this dynasty in the past and present.

Lu Jiang is obviously the same, and even hurriedly asked for his resignation, and his words are very sincere, after all, although he was born in a family of eunuchs, he has repeatedly failed to enter the ranks, and he has a history of theft.

There are nobles who helped him fund and bribed Wu Tingshao, the envoy of the Baoxin Army, so he was promoted to Chaohu Patrol and was an official from Wupin, but he taught the 20,000 sailors of Chaohu.

Lu Jiang doesn't like books, but he is very interested in water warfare, and he has been studying for half his life.

A few days ago, he learned that the nobleman who helped him fund and bribe Wu Tingshao was entrusted by the East China Sea Baixing, and the Donghai Baixing still needs to be said? It is rumored to be the private property of the Inner Government of the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty, but now that I look at it, it is not bad.

The noble man even said that it was the Northern Pilgrim Son of Heaven who personally inquired about this matter, and it was also his name that the Northern Pilgrim Son of Heaven named Jinkou, so that the East China Sea would help each other.

At first, Lu Jiang felt very humiliated, it turned out that he was just a puppet traitor bought by the Northern Dynasty.

But when he heard that this matter was funded by Baixing in the East China Sea, and his name was appointed by the Northern Pilgrim Son of Heaven, that sense of humiliation gradually turned into a great honor.

Who is the Son of Heaven in the Northern Dynasty? There are too many legends, with mixed reviews, but in the most derogatory story of the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty, I have to admit that the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty is the demon king of the mixed world, and in the next world it is to cause chaos in the world and make the common people miserable.

And Lu Jiang, who was not interested in the scriptures and had a gray beard and was not admitted to the Jinshi, had a natural sense of intimacy with the new policy of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and even had the idea of taking refuge in the past.

But I don't want to, the Son of Heaven in the Northern Dynasty actually knows his name? He was chosen from an unknown number of candidates?

This is really frightening.

Then he came to the edict and ordered him to lead the deputy battalion of the Chaohu Lake Water Division to discuss and discuss things.

Lu Jiang sincerely asked for his resignation, and said that as long as he was the head of the navy, he would also train the Chaohu navy for His Majesty.

Then the second edict of the Son of Heaven came, reprimanded him, and directly demoted him to the last nine grades, but at the time of employing people, he temporarily used the deputy to recruit and make meritorious contributions.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it is taboo to consult his own official position, even if he asks for a demotion.

However, Rao is like this, but what happened to Lu Jiang made Li Shanxing want to whip the dead Sun Yu again.

What Northern Dynasty did not pretend to surrender to us? Lu Jiang inspected a small Chaohu Lake, took the lead in surrendering, and how many levels did he upgrade? As for the future, it was he who wanted to be a demon, but obviously, the Son of Heaven still had the heart to stay, as long as he was diligent and diligent, he would be promoted sooner or later.

And he was a step late, and now, I'm afraid that the original official position of the fourth rank will not be able to be kept.

I can only figure it out by myself.

When the envoy was coming, Li Shanxing led the officials directly from Luzhou to a post station fifty miles away, and even sprinkled the post station with a new one, and the lanterns were very grand.

Hearing that the envoy had entered the country, Li Shanxing personally led the officials forward to meet the envoy.
