Chapter 579: Wei Boya's Soldiers
Weibo, Weizhou.
Weizhou is also called the Daimyo Mansion.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not have a daimyofu, the reason why Weizhou was called a daimyofu was that Wei Bojiedu made Tian Yue change the Daimyo's mansion in Weizhou to the daimyo's mansion, and the central government of the Tang Dynasty did not recognize it, so it was still called Weizhou as Weizhou outside.
And the Daimyo Mansion is just Wei Bo's own name for Wei Zhou.
The name of the tooth soldier comes from the word "tooth flag", the ancient general went out of the town, built the tooth flag, and marched in the festival, so the official office was called the tooth (that is, the ya). The Tang Dynasty made the festival out of the town, and gave the double festival, so the official festival was also called "Jianjie", so it also cited the ancient example to call the official office the tooth, called the flag of the tree as the tooth flag, called the city where he lived as the tooth city, and the house where he lived was the tooth house, and said that the relatives would be the tooth general, and the guards were the tooth team, and the private soldiers directly under the festival were called the tooth soldiers.
This is the origin of the tooth soldiers, to put it bluntly, the tooth soldiers are the private soldiers of the festival.
It stands to reason that the tooth soldiers, as the private soldiers and pro-soldiers of the Jiedu envoys, are loyal to the Jiedu envoys, but as the Jiedu envoys appointed by the imperial court, they do not take the emperor and the Chang'an court seriously, and the tooth soldiers are becoming more and more arrogant with their strong military value, and they do not take the Jiedu envoys seriously.
Wei Bo's tooth soldiers are even more so, looking back on the history of Wei Bo Town, the Jiedu envoy or the Houtian Hongzheng, Shi Xiancheng, He Quanxuan, Le Congxun, and Le Yanzhen were all killed or forced to abdicate by the rebels of their subordinates, so there was a saying at that time:
The Son of Heaven in Chang'an, the Ya Army of Wei.
And the most important reason why Wei Boya's soldiers are so powerful is that in the more than 130 years from the second year of Zong Baoying in the Tang Dynasty to the present, Wei Boya's soldiers actually existed in a hereditary state.
It means that Wei Boya's soldiers are all fathers and sons and brothers from generation to generation, and each other's children intermarry each other, and after more than ten years, they have formed a relationship of "father and son, pro-party glue", and almost no outsiders have joined, which naturally formed a special interest group, and the festival envoy can only "enrich its food and clothing, and move to be appeased".
Luo Hongxin was born in Wei Boya, his great-grandfather Luo Xiu, grandfather Luo Zhen, and father Luo Rang were all Wei Bo Military Academy, and Luo Hongxin entered Wei Bo Yabing when he was young.
Wei Boya's soldiers were powerful and arrogant, and they took and seized by force, violating laws and regulations, and the officials could not stop them. The tooth soldiers also often staged mutinies, expelling and killing the Jiedu envoys. Shi Xiancheng, He Quanhao, Han Junxiong, Le Yanzhen and others were all promoted by the tooth soldiers.
Luo Hongxin didn't know the harm of the tooth soldiers, but he needed the tooth soldiers to suppress the state soldiers and town soldiers in other states, and he didn't dare to move at all.
In history, Luo Hongxin's son borrowed the hand of Zhu Wen to get rid of Wei Bo's tooth soldiers, but Wei Bo was also depressed because of this, and finally Wei Bo became a vassal of Xuanwu.
However, Luo Hongxin is also finding another way, recruiting troops by himself, without going through the hands of the tooth soldiers. Of the 30,000 troops that attacked Henghai, 20,000 were Luo Hongxin's own private soldiers, not Wei Boya's soldiers.
Luo Hongxin was born from the tooth soldiers, and he was on guard against the tooth soldiers, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the tooth soldiers.
Especially before, Luo Hongxin defected to Zhu Wen without consulting with a group of generals, which led to the current imperial army pressing the border, vowing to eradicate Wei Bo in one fell swoop.
Xiangzhou was occupied, the cavalry of the forbidden army galloped freely in the hinterland of Weibo, and the 30,000 horizontal navy was Bozhou after all, and for a time the entire Weibo was full of enemies, and Xuanwu had no intention of reinforcements.
When the news came back to Weizhou, the tooth soldiers in Weizhou were all talking about it, and they all regretted how they recommended Luo Hongxin to be the envoy of this festival, so the tooth soldiers started to change the envoy again.
Anyway, it's not that they haven't done such a thing, and for the mutiny, Wei Boya's soldiers are handy.
The situation of Wei Boya's soldiers, the Jinyi guards in the city are naturally clear. Jinyi Wei is a group of people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and naturally they won't miss fanning the flames in the middle at this time.
The chaos in Weizhou was of great help to the forbidden army's battle on the front line.
As a result, the spies of Jinyiwei began to contact those more powerful generals, and then made a big promise, anyway, they didn't have to fulfill it later.
Of course, this is also very dangerous, but if they succeed, they can be rewarded.
。。。。。。
"It can't go on like this, now that the imperial court army is pressing, our Wei Bo is not the opponent of the imperial court at all. The Heng Navy has also invaded our Weibo, and it is already approaching Bozhou, and if it continues like this, our Weibo will be in danger. ”
Weizhou City, a relatively hidden mansion, a group of Wei Boya generals are meeting in secret. When it comes to the current situation, this group of tooth generals is a little dissatisfied, Luo Hongxin is the temperance envoy they pushed up, but the other party doesn't believe them.
"What's the solution? Jieshuai wants to take refuge in Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, what can we do? The other tooth general said.
"Even if he Luo Hongxin is a festival envoy, he can't do this, I, Wei Boya, and I haven't abolished the festival envoy, let's go to Luo Hongxin and ask him to ask the court for peace and not participate in the war between the court and Wei Bo. Otherwise, we will abolish him as a festival envoy and set up another one for the festival. The former said.
Hearing that someone suggested abolishing Luo Hongxin and replacing him with someone else, the generals couldn't help but be silent. For the abolition of the festival envoy, they are not too afraid, but the abolition of Luo Hongxin, who will take over the new festival envoy.
"I think that if you want to abolish Luo Hongxin, the envoy of the festival, you can't let him know." The tooth general Li Gongyan said in a deep voice, "Luo Hongxin is from the tooth general, he will definitely be alert." When his cronies come back, we may not be able to depose him. ”
"By the way, just do it? It also takes time for us to assemble troops, isn't it too rushed? Someone hesitated.
"Late is a change. However, I think that before we act, we must determine who will serve as the new envoy of the festival, and we must not let the court appoint an outsider when the time comes, which is not in the interest of all of us.
There is another point, this festival envoy can't rely on our tooth soldiers to become festival envoys like Le Congxun and Luo Hongxin, and in turn deal with our tooth soldiers. ”
"That's right, we have to be sure that we can't support another white-eyed wolf. However, for the candidates for the festival, I recommend Lao Li to go. He is loyal, usually very good to everyone, and has prestige and connections, and is most suitable to serve as a festival envoy, what do you think? ”
As soon as this voice fell, Li Gongyan was stunned, but he didn't expect someone to push him directly. Shouldn't they all rush to do it for the knots? Why did you take the initiative to let it out.
Although I feel that something is wrong, but thinking that I am supported by the court, even if it is wrong, can anyone still resist him?
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Some people questioned it.
"What is not appropriate, at this time we cannot have civil strife, we must unite to succeed."
Hearing this, the other tooth generals looked strange and didn't know what they were thinking, but in the end they chose to compromise.
Since everyone has no objections, Li will take on this important responsibility. When the time comes, you can all become a state assassin, I don't know what the conditions are? Li Gongyan took it directly.
"No problem."
Hearing the position of the assassin, many people were moved. Although there were a few people present, and there were only a few in Weibo's state, these people didn't care about this at this time.
"When's that time?"
"Three days later!"
I want to talk about "Rebirth of Tang Zhongxing" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
