Chapter 242: Fengyue Pavilion Discusses Fengyue Affairs

said that Zhang Yang inadvertently intercepted the big jade who was going to Horqin, so he happily rushed to Luoyang with the captive. Now that Da Yu'er has been captured, his previous wish can be regarded as understanding. The Manchu Qing naturally didn't know that their queen mother had been robbed now, and thought they were walking on the road. So I didn't pay attention to it.

The battle three years ago was the most shameful battle for Dorgon, and the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, even if Dordo brought back thousands of elites of the Eight Banners, but there were too many casualties. Vitality is badly damaged. So far, three years have passed, and the vitality of the army has gradually recovered, even if it has lost the three original generals Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Dolgon, then Dolgon has the confidence to break through Luoyang.

So Nadorgon raised 30,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and another 50,000 green battalions surrendered. After the reorganization, there were more than 80,000 men and horses, and grain and grass were raised. Let Hauge be the main general, Duoduo as the deputy general, and make meritorious contributions. 80,000 horses began to march to Zhangde Mansion.

Naturally, such a big movement of the Qing army could not be hidden from the world, and in fact, Dolgon did not want to hide it. Liu Xia got the news as soon as possible, and his heart was shocked, and he understood why Wu Sangui acted so strangely before.

"It seems that it is preparing to unite with the Qing army, and the two armies are flanked by the north and south, and they want to attack my Henan, hmph, last time this king defeated you and the other two, and this time I will not be afraid of you." Besides, today's king is strong and strong, in fact, you are bullying at will? ”

Now that Chen Liu has gone to the Kuiwolf Legion, Liu Xia naturally has no one to discuss, so he issued an order alone:

"Order, the third regiment of the pro-guard brigade was reorganized into the Violent Bear Brigade, with 8,000 men and horses, and officers were selected from the armament academy. Eagle Yangwei selects warriors. Shouhu served as the commander and was awarded the rank of Circumvention Cavalry School. Wang Xiaotong served as the deputy commander, and Xia Di took over Wang Xiaotong's position. After the reorganization was completed, he rushed to Zhangde Mansion and guarded Shandong and Henan with the Huben Brigade and Long Xiangwei. In addition, the White Tiger Legion was formed. No. 2nd Army. The commander was Zhang Yuan and awarded the Yue cavalry. 21,000 men and horses. At the same time, the Leopard Cavalry Brigade cooperated with the White Tiger Legion, and when necessary, it could go to the White Tiger Legion station, which was ordered by Zhang Yuan. ”

"In addition, let Yu Mingjun and his Sky Eagle Brigade approach Datong and threaten the Qing army. Let the rear of the Qing army rise up. Hmph, he Dolgon thought about the north and south to flank the king, and the king also gave him to flank the north and south. ”

Liu Xia's voice fell, and the guards around him hurriedly wrote the order, and then hurriedly passed it on, and it didn't take long for Mingjun to receive Liu Xia's military order.

"Wang En, your logistics department has made logistics preparations, and it is absolutely necessary to ensure logistics affairs. After that, the king led his army to Zhangde Mansion to meet the Qing army. Liu Xia's voice fell, and Wang En, who was standing next to him, hurriedly bowed.

"In addition, to prevent the Tatars from taking advantage of the situation. A total of 21,000 men and horses of the Combined Heroic Brigade, the Iron Fist Brigade, and the Iron Eagle Guard were the Iron Lion Legion, known as the Third Army. Liu Dazhuang served as the commander of the capital and awarded the Yue cavalry general. The Iron Fist Brigade will not recover Hamiwei for the time being, and will temporarily garrison Gansu to defend the surrounding ethnic minorities from causing rebellion. Tie Yingwei was transferred back to Shaanxi to defend Hanzhong and prevent Zhang Xianzhong from taking the opportunity to go out of Sichuan to attack and harass our army. If you find that the Tatars or other armies have appeared unexpectedly, slaughtered our people, attacked our city, and the soldiers and horses of the Iron Lion Legion can be killed regardless of the reason. ”

Liu Xia ordered one after another, and the whole of Henan seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of war again. Hundreds of people spontaneously went to the Tomb of the War Soul to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle, praying for their blessing. Don't let the flames of war burn among them.

After Liu Xia's several years of operation of the Battle Soul Mausoleum, today's War Soul Mausoleum has been mythologized. From ancient times to the present, many characters in Chinese history have been worshiped by people, and finally became a god, such as Zhong Kui, Bao Gong, Guan Yu and so on. So Liu Xia also took advantage of this thought to package the Battle Spirit Mausoleum as a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general.

'The soldiers who died in the battle can enter the Tomb of the War Spirit, and after death, their souls will fly to the heavens and become heavenly soldiers and generals, ranking in the immortal class, and bless Shenzhou. So, whenever they prayed for blessings or begged for children to avoid disaster, the people worshiped to the Tomb of the War Spirit, and now the Tomb of the War Spirit has become a holy place in the hearts of the people, which is the residence of the gods.

With this relationship, the soldiers are even more proud to enter the Battle Spirit Mausoleum, not to mention how the immortal class is attractive after death, that is, the countless people go to worship every day, which is enough for people to enter it rather than die.

Before Liu Xia left the school as usual, he led the concubine's family and the general Wenchen to the War Spirit Mausoleum to worship heaven and earth and worship the war spirit. The people rushed to go, women, children, old people, white nobles, and businessmen and talented people went with them.

The Battle Spirit Mausoleum has now perfected the scale, all the buildings have been built, there is a wide square in the War Spirit Mausoleum, Liu Xia named it [Victory Square], there is a tall monument on the Victory Square, which is carved with dragon and phoenix unicorn beast patterns, and the middle is written from top to bottom [War Spirit Mausoleum] Three gilded characters, surrounded by a eulogy written by hundreds of literati in Liu Xia's order for several months, the whole article is less than 3,000 languages, but every word is beautiful, even if it is a word of gold reward, let people pick out the word that does not match, under Shenzhou, But no one can get it. The stone tablet was erected between heaven and earth, like a road to heaven.

Around the stele are several large bronze tripods, which are full of fireworks and ashes, enjoying the worship of the people.

Behind the victory square is the central hall of the war spirit mausoleum, the hall is magnificent and tall, the glazed bricks and tiles are decorated with the heads of strange beasts, the huge pillars stand in the middle, which enshrines the generals who died in battle, down to the thousands of tablets of the soldiers, regardless of the noble, regardless of the official position, as long as it is the soldiers who died in battle, they are all worshiped by thousands of people.

Whether it is the Qingming season, or the death day of the deceased, there is an endless stream of people coming and going every day, and even Liu Xia has set up a temple in it, allowing monks to chant scriptures and Taoist priests to sing books.

"Serve!"

A sacrificial official, the voice fell, only to see countless palace women walking up, holding the wine and sending it, Liu Xia stood at the front of the square, behind him were military and political dignitaries, and the official positions were lined up in turn. The whole huge square was full of people, and there was not a single gap. The palace maid came up and handed over the wine in her hand to everyone, each of them with a glass, first worshipping the war spirit, and then drinking it all.

In the end, Liu Xia gave a speech, with great momentum, spitting out golden lotus, which made the morale high, and the officials shouted.

In the afternoon, everyone returned home, today's worship was completed, and the logistics were prepared in a few days, and the tiger guard general Violent Bear Brigade was prepared, and set off with Liu Xia, at this time, the pro-soldiers who gave the order had already gone to the road, so that Zhang Yuan could pay attention to the movements of the Qing army at any time.

But it was said that Liu Xia returned to the palace, and suddenly someone reported, saying that Feng Xiangwei commanded Zhang Yang to come back, saying that he was leading the general and beautiful women to come, Liu Xia was a little puzzled when he heard it, Zhang Yang galloped on the grassland as an adult, and Liu Xia didn't care, and brought back a large number of cattle, sheep and horses from the grassland, and tens of thousands of women.

I saw that he was a little curious in his heart, and replied, "Let Zhang Yang come over." The guard bowed, said a word, and walked down quickly.

After a while, Zhang Yang's face was peachy, and he walked in with a smile, only to see Liu Xia eating wine and drinking tea in the Fengyue Pavilion in the palace, and the guards next to him stood like stone pillars, motionless.

Zhang Yang smiled, walked into the Fengyue Pavilion, and bowed to Liu Xia is respectfully: "Lord Wang, my subordinates brought you a good thing today." ”

Zhang Yang is very familiar with Liu Xia, and he is a general who followed Liu Xia all the way from Yangzhou, Liu Xia is naturally very fond of it, and there are not too many rules for him. Since Liu Xia founded today's foundation, there are many generals, thousands of officials, and countless people. When there are a large number of people, it is natural that there will always be factions, whether intentionally or not.

The oldest qualification in the army is the Yangzhou faction, although it is the Yangzhou faction, but not all of them are Yangzhou people, and there are not too many Yangzhou people. Just because he started from Liu Xia, an entourage in Yangzhou, he is also sent to Yangzhou. The Yangzhou faction basically occupies most of the military faction.

Among them, the representative figures are, Liu Dazhuang, Wang Shishi, Zhang Yuan, Ma Peng, Wang En, Meng Yu and so on. As for Chen Liu, although he did not follow from Yangzhou, he was also close to Yangzhou, and he could be regarded as a person who started in the beginning, so he belonged to the Yangzhou faction, which means that basically the senior officers were all Yangzhou factions, and the rest of the factions also included the Guide faction, the surrender faction, and the armament academy faction, but these were only middle and lower-level officers.
