Section 283 of the Western Army
Li Qianshun's surrender so quickly and neatly was mainly forced by his dignitaries, especially the nobles with strong private soldiers.
Of course, he himself actually saw that the pirates were so powerful, and it was only a matter of time before the capital could be destroyed, and he wanted to surrender and save his life.
Emperor Dufu only lived for himself all his life, and there were so many emperors in history who existed, but few were not afraid of death, and few were willing to die for the country and others.
How could a barbarian emperor like Li Qianshun be an exception.
Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the country died in his hands, he would rather die than flee the capital, swore to die with the capital to survive, and firmly realized the solemn ancestral teachings of the ancestors "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies".
The fall of the country is due to the limitations of the times and the problem of his ability, and it is also the comprehensive result of the real rise of Confucianism since the Song Dynasty and its rapid and comprehensive decay, kidnapping politics and kidnapping society...... Over the years, too many shameless hypocrites, bureaucratic groups, gentry and traitors have emerged, and since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there have been a large number of traitors and traitors, and the number of traitors and traitors has become unimaginably more and more later, until the establishment of the new country...... They only care about the small family and ignore the country, they talk beautifully, but they actually specialize in any lack of virtue for their own interests, they have no intentions, they ruin the hearts of the people, and castrate the backbone and foundation of the Han nation.......
Chongzhen is extremely diligent and does not indulge in wine...... There are too many advantages that feudal kings rarely have, but the time is not good, and it is difficult to return...... It is his sorrow that the country created by his ancestors fell into his hands, but it is not his main fault. This sad emperor should be the king who is praised and affirmed positively......
And Li Qianshun,
He is the king of the Mabei nation, but he is a literati emperor, and he loves Confucianism in his bones, to be precise, he likes the debauchery of Confucianism, which poetry and books and scholars call elegant, and the three outlines and five constants of monarchs and ministers who are most conducive to his throne, rather than the set of moral code requirements that later generations preach in the name of Confucius and Mencius.
He is also a coward in his bones, when the throne is stable, he is vigorous and powerful, brave and sacred, once he has no power and no dependence, he and Zhao Ji's father and son have the same nature as the same, and they are no different from ordinary mediocre people who are greedy for life and afraid of death and have no courage, and even the people who are a little bloody are not as good as ....... Must surrender honestly.
Just like too many officials, Lao Tzu is the first in power, everyone else is a pig and a dog, Lao Tzu has the final say, no one dares not to listen to Lao Tzu, no one can not follow Lao Tzu's will, Lao Tzu can be corrupted as much as he wants, his wife can play if he wants to play, and if he wants to let any enterprise that refuses to honor Lao Tzu go bankrupt, it will have to go out of business....... No one can move Lao Tzu...... As soon as something happened and he stepped down, he could not escape punishment when he was imprisoned, so he showed his other side, he was not crazy, he said that he did not understand the law, he ignored his own requirements, lost his heart, forgot the country's teachings, and lived up to the expectations of the people who were entrusted by the country...... is still like being in power to make a government work report, but in fact, it is rotten from the bones, accustomed to political showmanship, accustomed to deceiving and fooling the world, instead of being brainwashed by the country's education for many years into this posture..... How can we expect that education will give them a chance to become good officials again........
Li Qianshun's surrender made Zhao Yue's Pingxi strategy easier and quicker to realize, but the massacre plan was not very easy to carry out.
Zhao Yue originally planned to kill the die-hard Xiang clan and the stubborn racial elements of the Xia Kingdom, which gathered the most in Tianqing Mansion, and cut the grass to the roots.
However, the pirate state is trustworthy, and this image cannot be destroyed.
If you say surrender and don't kill, then you can't kill.
However, Zhao Yue was not a Tang monk, nor was he a Confucian scholar who was a pedantic fool who should be ruthless to foreign races, so he quickly thought of another way.
It just so happened that the battle on Commander Du's side in the west was very smooth, blocking and attacking from west to east was extremely fast and effective, and what happened to the Song Western Army in the east was far from being unexpectedly good and smooth.
Okay, surrender and don't kill, then don't kill all the damned. I'll sell you damned slaves.......
The Song State was robbed not because of the shortage of miners, but for the bureaucratic landlords to serve and farm the land...... Woman who lacks textile work........
..........
Turning back to Xiao Jiasui, chief of the general staff of the Northern Army, this side.
A few days after Zhao Yue led the army away, the 100,000 pirate troops who stayed in the Yanyun area to deal with the finishing work quickly cleared out the pig-headed nobles of the rural tribes of the Liao Kingdom who should be killed...... Organize the men and women of the Liao State, who are mainly women, who took the initiative to take refuge, and make every effort to loot the livestock, wealth and materials, and confiscated weapons...... Together with the precious BMW stallion horse that was snatched...... After the transfer to the river was loaded and transported, the refuge was finally transferred to the Goryeo Peninsula, and the survivors were temporarily resettled on the island or trapped on the outer island, which was uninhabited and cut off from the outside world by the sea, according to the specific conditions of these people, for testing and further identification......
On the whole, the work on the Liao side was completed very smoothly and quickly, and Xiao Jiasui deliberately left 100,000 horses, which could be ridden by 100,000 soldiers. Members of the regular pirate army, including non-combatants with military doctors and so on, were required to be able to ride horses. You are an infantryman, you can't ride and shoot, but at least you have to be able to run on a horse, you can march quickly on horseback, and you can escape, but don't rush to run for your life, you have a horse at hand but you can't ride it, you can only race with two legs and the enemy is easily chased and killed......
Of course, the vast majority of these 100,000 horses are not war horses, but they do not delay riding and traveling, they can travel quickly, and they can also temporarily maneuver as war horses if necessary, but the main body is not used for riding battles, but is sent to the south in the form of military horses...... Eventually, it will be distributed to the common people in South Asia for cultivation and transportation......
The real cavalry in this 100,000 army is only about 10,000, which is the cavalry attack power that Zhao Yue left Xiao Jiasui to use.
Xiao Jiasui used these 100,000 horses to carry the soldiers or pull those lele carts that were used up from the Liao State but were used up but deliberately selected to be strong enough to pull enough goods, and did not rush to the Western Xia Kingdom to reinforce Zhao Yue and them as the Liao people guessed, but suddenly left Yunzhong Mansion and entered the Song State to pounce on the three prefectures of Hedonglin, Fu and Feng controlled by the Zhejia army.
About 10,000 cavalry were withdrawn from the headquarters of each horse infantry battalion and were organized into a cavalry brigade.
The pirate army emphasizes the cooperation of small groups, and small groups are combined into large groups...... The cavalry squad is a relatively independent organization with the ability to fight independently, and it has its own core leader or backbone, just like the standard parts, at this time it is temporarily integrated with its counterparts from other battalions, and it is not because they are not familiar with each other or even too unfamiliar to delay the formation of a large group that lacks the necessary coordination and combat effectiveness as a whole.
Xiao Jiasui divided the cavalry into three teams more or less, and cooperated with the infantry that was also divided into three divisions, and rushed to Lin, Fu, and Feng Prefectures. He personally led the army to the prefecture where the old nest of the Zhe family was located.
The armies of all walks of life rushed to their respective goals in a mighty and swift manner, flexibly dividing their troops along the way, spreading out the faces to rob all the villages they encountered along the way, grabbing those who should be abandoned, and temporarily escorting them, and the temptation and persuasion of moving overseas strengthened and forced them to pack up their belongings and immediately follow the whereabouts of the army...... swept through it rapidly, of course, the county and the town where the Song official mansion was weakened into a town due to too much population loss could not be let go, and it was the priority target to clean up......
Frightened corrupt officials, rich businessmen, powerful cities, and tyrants...... They were frightened and tried to rely on the stubborn resistance of the officials and defenders in the town to wait for an opportunity to escape, but how could they stop the edge of the pirate field army, the town was broken in an instant, and the looted ones were quickly swept away, and the relocation of the relocation should be .....
Fortunately for the villains, as long as they don't resist, the pirates don't kill people, and they are not corrupt officials or villains like the coastal looting during this summer's harvest, and they are willing to let them go, but they just loot everything in the pirates' target plan, and also rob them of the beauty they enjoy and their young daughters and ignorant children, and take away their luxurious clothes, making them all prisoners of beggars and refugees.......
The 100,000-strong army of pirates suddenly gave up the scourge of the Liao State and turned to attack Hedong, and its army was like a forest, the invasion was like fire, unstoppable, and the advance was extremely fast...... Zhi Keqiu was taken aback, shocked, and realized that the disaster of destruction might occur, and he was also anxious, and hurriedly mobilized all the Zhi family troops that could be notified and the people who could be used in wartime to gather in the three states to strengthen the defense. He didn't think about taking the initiative to seek the initiative, the disaster that happened in Liao, he is now very clear, he has indirectly seen the terrible ability of pirates in land warfare, and he doesn't dare at all, nor does he have the luxury of hoping that he can compete with the pirate army that is afraid that there are not 100,000 horses.
That's looking for death, and going out of the city to actively seek battle will only accelerate defeat.
What he didn't know was that the 20,000 or 30,000 troops defending the border fortress were ...... as soon as the pirates came Surrendered en masse.
The old generals of the Orijia Army who were not wanted by the pirates, or the backbone of the army, as well as those soldiers who may not lack courage and good fighting but were the scourge of the rotten army that the pirates did not want, were all arrested and their weapons and equipment were confiscated...... The vast majority of the other soldiers who were accepted by the pirates were obeying the command and following the pirates to carry out Zhao Yue's "Western Army Plan" bravely, and served as guides and the main force of the sweep........
And the troops of the Zhejia who were ordered to urgently reinforce Sanzhou City also mutinied collectively, and before the pirates came, they rebelled under the instigation and leadership of those generals and colonels who suddenly came forward to lead the rebellion. Those who should have been arrested were also captured by the rebel elite in the raid, and all means of resistance were captured.......
In other words, all the reinforcements that can be counted on will not come. The only way to do this is to rely on the forces you have at hand to hold the city, hoping to keep the greedy pirates at bay.
However, as the pirate cavalry quickly arrived in front of the city, it immediately became a cake.
The city lord's mansion didn't know what was happening to the troops outside the city, and he couldn't take care of it.
He couldn't even tell which of the people in front of him was reliable and which was doubtful, and he had to guard against them.
Because, even the rare young man who is definitely the Zhe family can be called the mainstay of the family, only because he is six years younger than him, he is below him, and his actual status in the Zhe family army is only below him, and he actually betrayed his family. Many of his own soldiers rebelled.
It's the way things are, who else can he trust? Who can you trust?
Besides, it doesn't matter if you can distinguish between friend and foe, believe in anyone or not. He had already been raided by the Foldable Savings and personally arrested him.
He was tied to a chair, and it was useless to have any tricks, and all that was left was a free mouth.
The anger that rushed to the sky could burn the whole sky, and Zhi Keqiu glared at Zhe Kecun who was standing in front of him, and he couldn't kill Zhe Kecun with a knife immediately, but unfortunately he couldn't move, so he stared at the blood-red seeping eyes like a crazy beast, and shouted angrily like spring thunder: "Zhe Kecun, you, are you crazy?" How dare you betray your ancestors? ”
The Zhejia is a Sinicized Hu people, at least with relatively distinct characteristics of Hu blood, and it is nothing if they betray the Han Han Dynasty. The family was favored by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, saying that he wanted to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty forever, but at this moment, in front of his own family, he didn't have to talk about politics like that, and the only thing that could effectively condemn the fold was the betrayal of the ancestors.
Han people value their ancestors.
The barbarian Hu people also pay attention to respecting their ancestors, and often have ceremonies to pay tribute to their ancestors in order to seek personal peace and happiness, and as large as the smooth success of the military affairs they schem.
It is true that he was strongly reviled by this condemnation, but ....... did not dwell on this and refute it, but smiled bitterly and begged: "Brother, I am not betraying my ancestors. I did this, to put it bluntly, it was purely a helpless choice forced by the situation. You don't blame me. It's useless to blame me. What the pirates want to get, the Liao State can't stop it, and Xixia is afraid that the country has been easily destroyed by the pirates at this time, and this Xiaoqiang is not a one. The Song Dynasty was even more unstoppable. Can my little folder stop it? ”
"It's not that I believe in someone who knows the times as a handsome. I just want to find a way for our family to live, and a way to truly be happy and healthy for a long time. didn't pull you along, and deliberately raided and tied you up, is it ...... The pirates don't want you. I'm more afraid that you will lose your mind in anger, swear to resist the pirates, or simply kill yourself in shame. I can't let you die in vain in this great change that no one is destined to stop and change. Why are you my brother too? To be alive is to have a chance ......."
Under the gaze of Zhi Keqiu, who not only did not lower his anger but became more resentful, Zhi Kecun said helplessly: "Why do the pirates refuse to accept you, I don't know why. I'm just guessing. Brother, you are too attached to the power in your hands. For the sake of power, for the sake of the first chair of the family army, I am afraid that you will ruthlessly get rid of anyone who will threaten you, let alone dare to threaten your position. Including me. ..... You only have the power and interests of the land of the three states in your eyes. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court promised me to fold the northwest of Yongzhen, and it did so. These three states of Hedong have really become your private property in your hands,"
Speaking of this, Zhen Kecun pointed to the outside of the mansion, "You, like those pirates outside, also don't want to be a gate, you only have power and interests in your eyes, and you just want to catch all the great benefits of these three states in your own hands." No one else, even a descendant of the Fold family like me, can reach out and snatch it. Those generals are even more unbearable than you, who only want to dominate the seat and enjoy the wine, beauty, glory and wealth, and ride on the merits of their subordinates to fight to the death...... Without a person from a background like me, no matter how capable he is, there is no real way out, he will only be reduced to a pawn who charges into battle, for you, for those proud and noble generals to establish meritorious glory, dead, dead, who of you really cares? “
"Look at the army, apart from you and me over the years, who else can make a name for himself in the eyes of the world?"
'The veteran is rotten and degenerate, and there is no talent who can stand up to the beam. The new goalkeeper could not be formed. Capable newcomers are either driven to die early before they fully grow up, or they are feared by the generals, secretly and invisibly join forces to make it difficult and suppress them, and they can't afford to sink down, and sooner or later they are also damaged on the battlefield with the image of a nameless person with a little ability and loyalty. And then there are those who have the ability and ambition to see no way out here, knowing that the Zhejia army is not an army that can get ahead with ability and loyalty, or they are witty, courageous, and courageous and leave quickly after seeing through it, or they are forced to leave because they can't stand this anger. Before I knew it, my army stinked. Good men elsewhere won't choose to vote for us anywhere. I know of a few capable people who refuse to come, even if they have relatives here to draw on.....
