Chapter 357: On Meritorious Deeds
The two armies lined up, the flags were unfurled, the sound of the military drums was murderous, and on the endless plain, the two armies were looking at each other with fierce eyes.
As a Xianbei voice sounded, it was the command to charge, and countless Xianbei soldiers rode high-headed horses, whipped horses, held weapons, and frantically killed each other.
And on the opposite flag, there are no superfluous symbols, and in the background is a dragon. There was a big Qin character written on the dragon, and the fact in front of him was that the fierce battle between the Qin army and Xianbei began.
The Xianbei warriors were superb in equestrian skills, riding fast horses, and frantically killed the Qin army, the original Qin army was unmoved, but when the Xianbei soldiers were still fifty steps away from them, the Qin army finally moved, only to see a row of infantry separated from their ranks, that row of infantry did not have heavy armor, there were no strong war horses under their crotch, and some were just the round strips in their hands.
Cao Xing hit his horse and shouted: "The Shenji Battalion is ready!" β
The sound of brushing and brushing sounded, this is the sound of bullets loading, with Cao Xing's order, the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion all pulled the trigger in their hands, one round bullet after another, directly from the musket chamber, when these bullets hit the sharp armor of the Xianbei cavalry, they exploded directly in response to the sound, and the gunpowder inside splashed in all directions, directly injuring a piece of Xianbei sergeant, Xianbei sergeant one by one wailed, fell off the horse, and looked pained.
The first row of Shenji won the sergeant retreated, and the sergeant of the second row of Shenji Battalion immediately followed, continuing to raise their muskets and continue to strafe these people.
Although the Xianbei sergeants had the intention to kill the enemy, they were powerless to return to the sky, and in the face of the musket, a divine weapon, they could be said to be unstoppable and unavoidable. In the end, he could only drop a large pile of corpses in the same place, and then retreated in a hurry, and in the next few days, the Xianbei soldiers under the leadership of Hadoli carried out several tentative attacks, but the casualties were relatively heavy every time, and finally Hadoli sighed helplessly, stood in front of their military formation, and looked at Cao Xing on the opposite side.
And at this moment, Cao Xuan also stepped forward slowly, looking at Ha Duoli with a relaxed face, looking at Cao Xing's smile, Ha Duoli and the others all sighed helplessly.
Cao Xing and Hadoli are actually two unknown people in history, just because of Cao Xing's arrival and Cao Xing's crossing. made the trajectory of the two people in history completely changed. The two unknown pawns have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Needless to say, Cao Xing's changes are also impressive, and so is Hadoli, who should have died in their father's coup d'Γ©tat, but he survived by accident. And after a series of changes, the current Hadoli has gradually dominated the north.
As if becoming a generation of overlords in the northern desert region, Hadoli gradually aimed his eyes at the south, not that he coveted the land of the Central Plains, but that he felt that the major princes of the Central Plains were attacking and punishing each other, and they were also growing each other, and now the speed of growth has made him feel a hint of threat, so he had to lead his troops south, and as a result, he fought with Cao Xing and became like this ghost again.
Thinking of this, Ha Duoli also sighed helplessly, he and Cao Xing CCP fought a few times, but none of them won, I thought that this time the soldiers were full of food, and the horses were galloping, and they should be able to take Cao Xing, but they never expected this ending. The fire gun made by Cao Xing beat him even more to the back of his horse, and he was in great pain.
At this point, Hadoli could only wave his hand helplessly and order a retreat.
Three days later, the Xianbei army slowly departed like a tide.
Seeing this, all the soldiers were rejoicing, some of the soldiers laughed there, before they came, they heard how powerful the Xianbei sergeants were, but they didn't all retreat obediently, many people had this idea in their hearts, Cao Xuan was also smiling and silent, but in a trance he saw Zhong Qi's lonely look, Cao Xing smiled, and took everyone into Bianyun County.
Bianyun County, this is an ancient city with a long history, it is famous because of Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan also takes good care of this place, even if it is no longer Cao Xing's main place of governance.
Cao Xuan didn't say much, and directly let everyone under his command enter it. Cao Xing first said some words of encouragement to everyone, asking everyone to make persistent efforts and not to relax at any time, and then looked at Zhong Qi, just because Zhong Qi is the boss here. What was the situation in the previous battle? As the coach, he naturally has to talk about it.
Zhong Qi stood up with some embarrassment, then glanced at everyone and said.
"The subordinates are not talented, on the orders of the lord, they are in charge of Bianyun County, and the people over there in Xianbei, in fact, there is a lot of friction for a lot of time, but it has always been a small fight, I didn't take it to heart, who knows that not long ago Xianbei invaded on a large scale, Ha Duoli personally led the team, their invasion this time seems to have been planned for a long time, Ha Duoli led a full 100,000 troops, mostly cavalry, these cavalry with a devastating momentum, directly defeated the outpost arranged in front of my Bianyun County!"
"Even, they sent cavalry to continuously plunder the people at the first time, which greatly affected several counties around my Bianyun County!"
"Although the subordinates have also led the troops out to rescue, but how can the Xianbei soldiers are too brave, after the development of the past few years, they are strong and well-equipped, our army can not resist it, the reason why I can only take one way in the end, that is, the strong wall is clear, until the arrival of the lord, the situation has improved!"
Zhong Qi was a little embarrassed to tell the whole story of this series, in fact, he was also very embarrassed in his heart, Cao Xuan entrusted Bianyun County to him, but he kept this ghost and was almost captured by Xianbei, so he is also blaming himself in his heart now, but Cao Xuan smiled, so that Zhong Qi didn't have to say much, and even he stood up and praised Zhong Qi, Cao Xing's praise made Zhong Qi a little flattered.
Cao Xuan looked at the puzzled eyes of everyone and explained unhurriedly.
"There is absolutely no problem with Zhong Qi's doing, the strong wall is the best way to fight against the Xianbei cavalry, the Xianbei soldiers are nomads, and they are farming people, if you talk about horse stations, if the average cavalry is not blessed with sophisticated equipment, it will definitely not be able to win against others, Cao Xing has a deep understanding of this!
And Cao Xing also learned through Jinyiwei that although Hadoli has been staying in the desert in the north all these years, he also often learns the culture of the Central Plains, and the direction of learning is mainly the art of war.
Haduoli also used the art of war to the fullest in this battle, he saw Zhong Qigui and said that he refused to come out in Bianyun County, so he sent his own soldiers, in the language of the Han people, under the city tower to scold Zhong Qi for being a turtle with a shrunken head, and now they are so embarrassed by their Xianbei that they have developed a cowardly heart, so the turtle retreats in the city and does not dare to come out, if it is a man, he will come out to fight.
These words are nakedly humiliating, Zhong Qi's subordinates are all angry after hearing it, everyone is a man with strong blood, where can this kind of person be insulted here, so his favorite subordinates have asked for battle, but in the face of many pressures, Zhong Qi is trying his best to resist public opinion and stick to it.
And Zhong Qi's method of fighting with strong walls and clearing the field played a very key role, because although Xianbei was indeed brave in field warfare, but then again, they were not good at tackling tough battles, and they didn't have too many engineering equipment, so as long as Zhong Qi was unwilling to come out, there was no way to break in.
Therefore, even if Cao Xing does not come, Xianbei will withdraw from the army because of the long shield and the supply cannot keep up, so Cao Xing praised Zhong Qi for a big event.
"Zhong Qi, you have done a good job this time, and you have made a contribution to the defense of my frontier. As for saying that I won the battle as soon as I came, it was completely due to luck, with the blessing of firearms, but you can rest assured, I have begun to promote this kind of thing in the army across the country, I believe that it will not be long before each of your border guards will have one more weapon like this in their hands, so that they can be saved, even if Xianbei attacks again, I believe you can easily repel it, so not only are you not at fault, but you will also be rewarded! β
As soon as he heard this, all the soldiers present had bright eyes and a smile, and looked at everyone's performance, and returned to his throne.
Looking at his current subordinates, Cao Xing also felt some emotion in his heart, probably about eight years ago, when Cao Xing was only fourteen years old, and he was in the same place, but he was a down-and-out young man at that time, until today, Cao Xing's heart is also full of emotion, he is now in this position, and it is time to fulfill his promise to his brothers.
Cao Xing started his canonization with a wave of his hand, he is now the king of Qin, and the official position under his hand should be the same as the scale of the emperor. However, a certain measure of Cao Xing has been implemented for a long time, at the beginning. There are also some worries about the problem of unconvincing, so Cao Xing did not start his change immediately, but now that such a long time has passed, Cao Xing is confident that under his rule, at least no one will oppose this kind of thing.
First of all, for the canonization of military generals, Zhong Qi has been stationed in Bianyun County, so that Xianbei can not invade the territory of the state, so Zhong Qi is the general of Anbei.
Xu Shu guarded Zhao Jun has been defending against Yuan Shao and others, even if Yuan Shao has elite soldiers and strong generals, he can't enter the territory of Bingzhou from the east, so Xu Shu is General Anton.
As for the generals such as Gan Ning and Wei Yan, because they joined the company later than several other generals and officers, they were named partial generals.
Zhou Cang Hu Che'er and the two of them have been following Cao Xing for a long time, but the titles of the two of them are different, first of all, the Chexia Tiger and Tiefutu led by them belong to Cao Xing's guards, and they also belong to a certain type of special troops, so the two of them are different from other people's official positions, but they are tied with others. On the battlefield, the troops of the two of them will not be worse than anyone's troops.
In the end, it was Cao Xing's general Chen Hu, Chen Hu's official position was tentatively set as General Zhennan, and General Zhennan was above General Annan, which means that Chen Hu's military rank was higher than all of them.
Of course, up to now, Cao Xing still hasn't canonized the Shenma General Da Sima or anything like that, he just told his subordinates that if it is undecided today, the title should not be set so early, and he did this just to encourage his soldiers to continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and to use the system of military dukes to promote the rank of general step by step, that's all.
The canonization of military generals is more convenient, and the next thing is the content of Cao Xing's reform, and Cao Xing's reform is also the three provinces and six ministries.
However, Cao Xuan has not yet set up three provinces, but it has been set up according to historical specifications, and there are only six of the six departments of the three provinces in history, but here it has become seven in Cao Xing.
The Ministry of Industry is served by Wolf Youma, the waiter of the Criminal Department is full of favors, and the waiter of the household department is served by Fengyun. The squire of the military department is served by Fa Zheng, and there is also a newly established agricultural department, which is served by Jia Kui.
As for the fact that there are still two ministries that have not been set up, that is, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials? The Ministry of Rites is in charge of diplomacy, but Cao Xing searches for his subordinates, and it seems that there is no talent such as diplomacy.
Of course, there is a Jia Xu, but when Cao Xuan asked if Jia Xu was willing to serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Jia Xu smiled, and his attitude was not clear, Cao Xu was also quite helpless when he saw this, although Jia Xu did not say it explicitly, but Cao Xuan was already clear about Jia Xu's attitude, since Jia Xu did not agree, it was that he was resistant to this position in his heart.
However, if a person with such great talent as Jia Xu is allowed to do so, is there some pity, so Cao Xing asked tentatively, what if Jia Xu is allowed to go to the Ministry of War? I didn't expect Jia Xu to agree, you must know that the current squire of the Ministry of War is Fazheng, that is to say, if he goes to the Ministry of War, he will definitely have to work under Fazheng, Fa Zheng is so young, I didn't expect this Jia Xu to be willing.
In no way, Cao Xing had no choice but to agree to Jia Xu's request, as for the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is the department that selects officials, and the power in their hands can be described as very heavy.
Although he has not selected the servants of the Ministry for the time being, Cao Xing has basically completed the reform of the imperial examination, and every disciple of the Han Sect has a book to read.
As long as you have confidence, you can come to Luoyang to participate in the examination during the imperial examination, as for the standard of marking papers, when the time comes, Cao Xing will select elite backbones from various departments to let them express their opinions, and comment on how this talent is?
Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing took out the merit book, which recorded the merits of each general, Cao Xing did not hesitate to reward, the reward that should be rewarded, the seal that should be sealed, anyway, at the end of this day, Cao Xuan basically dealt with all these things, and each general got his own official position, so a series of systems across the country finally began to be established completely, and Cao Xing was also very satisfied with this.
Now that the matter is settled, it is almost time for Cao Xing to return to Luoyang, but when Cao Xing just returned to Luoyang, Fengyun, the servant of the household department, hurriedly came to find Cao Xing.
