Chapter 162: The Pingrong Army
The Yang family caravan stayed in Yinxinghe City for seven or eight days, knowing that the goods they brought were sold out, and then they bought and purchased the goods for the return journey before returning to Linzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Yang family's caravan traveled back and forth between Linzhou City and Silver Star Fort once a month, and it took about seven or eight days to sell incoming goods and prepare new goods in Silver Star Fort and Linzhou City, and the rest of the time was the time on the way back and forth.
Zhong Hao followed the Yang family caravan to Hengshan Mountain and Yinxing Fort back and forth for more than 20 days this time, it was early March when he went to Linzhou, and it was the end of March when he returned to Jingqiang Village.
When Zhong Hao returned to Jingqiang Village, the Pingrong Army had already been transferred.
Before Zhong Hao returned to Jingqiang Village, he saw a dilapidated tent stationed outside the village, and most of the soldiers were in rags and a little sluggish, which was also the state of most of the Xiang troops in the northwest.
Many of the military horns in the northwest have the meaning of targeting the Tangut people, such as the Zhenxi Army of Linzhou and the Pingxi Army of Jingqiang Village, and the meaning of Zhenxi and Pingxi is naturally aimed at the Tangut people.
In addition to the Zhenxi Army and the Pingxi Army, there are also Zhenqiang Army, Pingqiang Army and other armies, plus the current Pingrong Army. In addition, there is also the Zhenrong Army as an administrative division army, and one of the two major fields between the Song and Xia Dynasty is located in the Gaoping Village of the Zhenrong Army.
The meaning of Zhenrong is similar to the meaning of Zhenqiang and Zhenxi, because in the pre-Qin period, there were Xirong, Dongyi, Beidi, and Nanban outside of China, and this Xirong mainly referred to the clans and Qiang tribes in the west at that time.
The Pingrong Army was originally an administrative division army placed in the new town of Guixin County, Zhuozhou in the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Great Song Dynasty, and governed Wen'an and Dacheng counties.
However, later the Pingrong Army was changed to the Baoding Army, and the Pingrong Army was discarded. Later, after Li Yuanhao Jianxia became emperor, the imperial court gave the military name of the Pingrong army to the northwest to use, of course, it is estimated that the imperial court is mainly trying to target the Western Xia, and does not expect this army to really go to Pingrong.
The Pingrong Army, like the Western Army, was originally stationed in Fengzhou, Hexi.
In the first year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao had just defeated the Song army in the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and then with the power of the great victory, he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to launch the battles of Lin, Fu and Feng, in an attempt to seize the three last bridgeheads of the Great Song Dynasty in Hexi.
The city of Linzhou is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Fuzhou soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and finally in the battle of Linfu Feng, Li Yuanhao did not get much bargain in Linzhou and Fuzhou, but Fengzhou did not have such a good fate. In the Battle of Linfu Feng, Fengzhou City was broken by the Western Xia army, and the nearby fortress was swept and ploughed by the Western Xia army.
Perhaps because the military horn was too annoying to the Tangut people, the Pingrong Army and the Pingxi Army were beaten badly by the Tanguts in this battle.
After the Pingxi Army and the Pingrong Army withdrew to Hedong, the Pingxi Army was stationed in the Volcano Army's territory, and the Pingrong Army was stationed in the Baode Army's territory.
Last year, the Pingxi Army ushered in a turning point, after they were transferred to Linzhou and took charge of the affairs of the Guye River and Tuntian, they lived really well under the leadership of Zhong Hao, and the officers and soldiers of the Pingrong Army were really envious when they heard about it.
This time, the soldiers of the Pingrong Army were transferred to Linzhou to open up wasteland in the Guye River and Tuntian, which gave them a little more hope in their lives.
The Pingrong army came to Linzhou this time, and there was no chief officer accompanying them. The commander of the Pingrong army and the commander of the capital Yuhou were all transferred by Fu Bi, and the deputy commander of the capital was killed in the battle of Linfufeng, and he has not been reappointed for the Pingrong army for ten years.
Shuai Si's intention to do this made it clear that after the Pingrong army came to Linzhou, he had full authority to listen to Zhong Hao, the undertaker of the eighth grade, and the civil official who knew the military training in Tuntian, with the right to dry leaves, to govern and command.
Shuaisi's Pingrong army moved to the bank of the Guye River, and he had come to Jingqiang Village half a month ago, and it had been a few days since the Pingrong army came to Jingqiang Village, but Zhong Hao had not returned, and Zheng Wentao, who was the chief official of Jingqiang Village, did not dare to make decisions to let the Pingrong Army enter the village and station.
Of course, there are also a lot of people in the Pingrong army, and there are not many places in Jingqiang Village for them to station. Fortunately, it is now the end of March, the weather is warm, and I am stationed outside the village, so I am not afraid of freezing.
When the Pingrong Army was in Hedong, the Heping West Army was the same as before, and it was also a box army forgotten by the imperial court, and it was miserable, and this time it moved to Linzhou, and it didn't even bring much food. Zheng Wentao asked the Pingxi army to send a lot of food and vegetables to the Pingrong army stationed outside the village, and let them eat a few full meals first, so that they could recuperate. Zheng Wentao knew that they were about to start the work of building the fortress, and they couldn't do it without strength.
When Zhong Hao and his party came back, they walked through a tattered tent before returning to Jingqiang Village.
Looking at these ragged van troops, Zhong Hao muttered secretly in his heart: This old Taishan is really true, if he doesn't get some elite Western troops for himself, he stuffs himself with some beggar-like van troops all day long, not only can he not fight, but he also has to find a meal for them, isn't this tossing himself?
Of course, Zhong Hao also thought about it, the real elite court of the Western Army kept guard against the Western Xia and Khitans, even if Fu Bi transferred them to open up wasteland on the banks of the Guye River, the court would not allow it.
The fields are open to wasteland, and it is enough to have a box army!
Zhong Hao returned to the Zhizhai Yamen of Jingqiang Village, and went directly to the back of the daily life, and now Zhong Hao is also a person who has a decent Eight Classics Yamen.
Zhong Hao's Zhizhai Yamen is still quite simple, and there is no subordinate official system, and the signing room inside has been used by Zhong Hao's own signing room, and the others have been idle.
Except for a few soldiers of the Pingxi Army who take turns to stand guard on weekdays, there is no one working here. Jingqiang Village's Zhizhai Yamen, now there is a subordinate official Zhong Hao a light pole commander, when Zhong Hao is not there, this is an empty office.
Zhong Hao felt that he would have to find a few masters or something in the future, at least someone would have to help him take care of the account books and documents. Nowadays, most of the account books in the Zhizhai Yamen are managed by Ke Yao, the female gentleman of the Jingqiang Zhai School.
It's just that there are not many literate people in Jingqiang Village, let alone those who can manage account books and documents, and if they want to hire elsewhere, it is estimated that some people with some skills may not be willing to come to this small place in Jingqiang Village to give in. Zhong Hao felt that it was more realistic to let Ke Yao pick a few smarter students in the Jingqiang Village School and teach them well, so that they could manage the documents and account books.
Alas, there is no talent under his hands!
As for the back office of the Zhizhai Yamen of Jingqiang Village, except for Zhong Hao and Ke Yao on weekdays, there are no other people.
Zheng Wentao, the capital of the Pingxi Army, once mentioned: He said that he would choose a few clever maids for Zhong Hao from among the families of the soldiers of the Pingxi Army, but Zhong Hao returned. Zhong Hao is now a bachelor, and it is enough to have Keyao to serve alone, if he gets a group of little maids to serve him, he will be known by Fu Ruozhu, but he will not have his own good fruit to eat.
Today happened to be the day of the end of the month of the Jingqiang Zhai School, and when Zhong Hao returned to the living place behind the Zhizhai Yamen, Ke Yao happened to be at home.
When Zhong Hao came in, Ke Yao was embroidering a pair of embroidery, and he was really happy to see Zhong Hao, who he hadn't seen for half a month, coming back.
Zhong Hao hadn't seen Ke Yao for half a month, and he was very happy to see her, so he gave her a big hug when he went up, which made Ke Yao blush.
Although Ke Yao herself said on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year that if her mother allowed it, she would be Zhong Hao's woman, but it was the first time she had such intimate contact with Zhong Hao. Thinking of being hugged by her son-in-law, she really blushed and heartbeat.
Zhong Hao took out the Tan wool shawl and several white Tan sheepskins made of nitrate brought back from Yinxing and City and gave them to Ke Yao.
Ke Yao was overjoyed to see the beautiful shawl and fur.
Looking at the sheepskin, she couldn't stay still for a moment, and after waiting for Zhong Hao to bathe and change clothes, she couldn't wait to take a few skins and go to the tailor in Jingqiang Village to sew clothes.
Zhong Hao was speechless, now it's early summer and April, and he can't wear a sewing coat, can he cover the prickly heat? It's so urgent. I really don't understand women, as soon as they encounter this thing of clothing, they can't wait.
As soon as Ke Yao left, Cui Feng and Zheng Wentao came together.
During the period when Zhong Hao left Jingqiang Village, Zheng Wentao and Cui Feng presided over the affairs of Jingqiang Village as the two responsible persons of Yiwen and Wuwu, so as soon as Zhong Hao came back, they came to report their work. (To be continued.) )
