At the end of April, the political situation in Datang, which had always been like a stagnant water, finally underwent amazing changes. The Chang'an court, which had been silent for a long time, was a blockbuster. The emperor issued an edict, and Wei Bojie made Tian Chenghei take up troops to attack his colleagues and plot against him, and the court decided to send a large army to fight.

In the edict, Li Xin, the king of Fu, was the general manager of the march, overseeing the overall situation, and Chen Bangzhao, the general of Guide, was the deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for military command, and sent an army of 100,000 to crusade against Wei Bo.

Soon after the edict was issued, Han Qi, the new envoy of Hedong Jiedu, raised troops from Hedong to attack the town of Zhaoyijie, and a few days later, Zhu Wen, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, declared that he had responded to the imperial edict and sent troops to attack Weizhou, an important town of Weibo.

All of a sudden, Wei Botian, who had just annexed the towns of Luzhou, Weizhou, Beizhou, and Zhaozhou, was attacked on all sides.

The Son of Heaven personally sent troops to crusade against Jiezhen under his command, which was the first time in nearly 20 years. There is no doubt that if the Son of Heaven wins, the momentum of the center of Chang'an will be greatly boosted, especially after joining forces with the Wuwei Festival Town, which is most relied on by the imperial court, its strong strength will form a great threat to all the festival towns.

At that time, all the towns will either become obedient people, or they will be the next to be crusaded.

Everything just starts at the beginning, and the next thing is logical.

There are loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty who secretly rejoice, and they are also those with ill intentions who count on the defeat of the imperial court to maintain the current situation, of course, more wait-and-see. Pursue the ostrich mentality that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Chang'an was excited.

The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have their own pride, and they naturally have great trust in the confidence of the Son of Heaven's army. In any case, the 200,000 Shence army pursued by the imperial court in the land of Heluo in Guanzhong is far superior to the ordinary Jiezhen army in terms of equipment.

Since the Son of Heaven has already taken action in person, the rebellion is naturally easy to capture.

The people look at it this way, but there are two extremes within the Shence Army. Ordinary soldiers who came from ordinary people's homes are extremely excited, if they want to get ahead, then they have to make extraordinary achievements, where do the soldiers' exploits come from? From the battlefield, of course. During the Taiping Festival, they wanted to climb up, the difficulty was not ordinary, and every position had already been properly arranged, and only a few positions had become the chastity archway for the officials above to whitewash fairness. Basically, the vast majority of positions have fallen into the hands of those noble families, wealthy families, and royal relatives.

Once on the battlefield, it is to speak with a knife and speak with combat exploits. Although the family background and background can still play a role, it is much smaller after all.

For these people, war is a way out, but the Chang'an court has withered for so many years, and they have no way out, and now they finally see hope, and they are naturally sharpening their knives.

And the other part is the heart of the heart, frightened and inexplicable.

These people come from unusual backgrounds, and they naturally know much more things. They knew that the Shence Army looked majestic on the outside, but its real combat effectiveness was terrifying, and compared to the army outside Jiezhen, it was only a little worse. This time, it seems that Wei Bo is besieged from all sides, but whether it is Hedong or Xuanwu, how much strength can be contributed, no one can say now, the main force must be the Shence army.

Swords and guns have no eyes, they don't go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, they can enjoy glory and wealth, why do they need to fight with those lower riba people to fight for that bloody feat!

After the edict was issued, Chang'an immediately surged out of the army, hundreds of middle-level officers with a variety of reasons to ask for discharge, so that in the end the trouble was out of control, the emperor Li Yan was furious, specially issued an edict, no one is allowed to retire at this time, no one is allowed to evade the dispatch of troops, otherwise, not only to deprive myself of all the honors, but also to sit at home.

Before the troops were dispatched, this joke made in Chang'an had already spread all over the world, which made these towns shake their heads, and couldn't help but be pessimistic about the results of this dispatch.

Compared with Chang'an, Luoyang is much better, thanks to the strict management of the army by Fuwang Li Xin for more than ten years, Luoyang 50,000 Shence army, 30,000 troops, led by Niu Furen, as the vanguard, took the lead in attacking Wei Bo.

The army did not move, naturally the grain and grass went first, and the prices in Chang'an also rose all the way, and the people did not feel the joy of victory in the war, so they first experienced the feeling of being hollowed out of a handful of coins in their pockets.

Tu Hu naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity to make a fortune. The time when they got the news was much earlier than that of ordinary nobles, with the funds of Jin Mantang and the support of channels, although it was only half a year, the expansion of Yixingtang in the Central Plains and the south showed explosive growth. When all places were still in confusion, Tu Hu had already organized Yixingtang to transport a large amount of rice and grain and other strategic materials from the south along the canal all the way to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places.

First, they were assembled, and when Chang'an Luoyang began to mobilize for war on a large scale and prices soared, Yixingtang began to release the resources in his hands one after another, and made a lot of money.

Compared to the chaos of the entire Chang'an, the Qianniuwei General's Mansion and its subordinates were calm. The current Qianniuwei has 1,000 regular soldiers and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, although this is the case in terms of establishment, but under the strong economic blessing of Wuwei, these 5,000 people are actually unified according to the treatment of Wuwei regular soldiers. This makes their salaries much higher than those of ordinary Divine Forces. It has been on par with the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven under the command of Qin Zhao.

As the saying goes, if one person is a soldier, the whole family can have enough to eat.

Although Qianniuwei is also nominally the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, in terms of management, he completely follows Wuwei's set, and the military discipline is strict. The first recruits made a big deal out of this. To tell the truth, they were able to stand out when Qianniuwei selected soldiers and officers, and the quality of these people was naturally extremely good, but after they came to Qianniuwei, they brought the same set of the past Shence Army to Qianniuwei, thinking that the military discipline and military discipline repeatedly reiterated by their superiors were just repeating the same old tune.

But this time, they hit the iron plate headlong, and at the first major review three months later, the matter of these people deducting the soldiers' salaries was immediately exposed, and then, more than a dozen heads were hung outside the gate of the garrison of the Thousand Niu Army. It was Qin Zhao, and figures like Tian Lingzi came to intercede for some officers with quite a background and were mercilessly refused.

If Gongsun Changming would still give Qin Zhaotian Lingzi some affection, Chen Bing and Chu Sheng would never have access to such a character, so they would ignore it at all, in their eyes, the military law formulated by Li Ze himself was an iron law, and those who violated it died.

In this way, Qianniuwei went up and down, but in horror, the military discipline immediately went up to a new level.

The strict discipline of the Qianniu Guard made the other armies in Chang'an look sideways, but the generous treatment of the Qianniu Guard also made the other armies salivate.

Where there is loss, there is gain.

If you want to get a high salary comfortably, you don't want to think about it in Qianniuwei.

The rigorous training alone can make Qianniuwei cry up and down. There was only one day of rest in the ten days, and the remaining nine days, including the officers, after a day of training, were basically the most desired thing to do, to fall into bed and fall asleep. If you go out to play, forget it! Not to mention that there is a lot of formalities to go through when leaving the camp, just going out to play wastes physical strength, how to cope with the next day's training?

Nine days of practice, one month of competition, each post randomly selected a team of 100 people, arbitrarily draw lots for competition, lose, but also bear the health of the entire battalion.

In a battalion of 5,000 people, how much time does it take to just dig out the dung and clean the toilets? How much time does it take to clean up the entire camp? And this can be done in the rest time after all the training.

The money is enough, the food is full, there is meat every day, happy events such as the birth of a handsome son, the full moon, and wine, the soldiers of Qianniuwei are painful and happy.

Chang'an began to send troops and horses, but it was none of their business. But all the soldiers still felt some changes, that is, the amount of training began to decrease quietly, and the officers, who had to train the soldiers to exhaustion, were now all pleasant, and the amount of training was a full third less than before.

After the training was over, the soldiers were also full of energy, and the camp that used to be empty after a day's training was now filled with a lot of people loitering.

Of course, the most visited by them was the supply and marketing cooperative set up in Yixingtang in the big camp. It sells a wide variety of items to the soldiers, and more importantly, the things sold here are much cheaper than those outside. Soldiers do not need to pay cash, only need to keep accounts, and at the end of the month, they will naturally be deducted from their salaries.

Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, of course Yixingtang will not be black-hearted to make money from its own soldiers, of course, the profits that should be there are still to be made.

And all of this has made Qianniuwei an alternative scenery in Chang'an, and their cohesion and centripetal force for Qianniuwei have been strengthened step by step in this seemingly casual thing.

And Li Ze's wife, Liu Ruyan couldn't hold back anymore after surviving the month-long confinement period, and came to the Qianniuwei military camp with great interest.
