Chapter 992: Ups and Downs 2

Huaibei Road,

In the sound of rumbling drums and trumpets and gunfire, the late autumn parade in which the garrison ships from all over the country came to participate was also in full swing in the suburbs outside Xuzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

From the existing five major military orders in Huaibei, including the Imperial Left and Right Guards, the Front Army, the Model Rear Army, and the Guarding and Capture, about 85,000 registered soldiers, hundreds of specially selected teams of sergeants gathered here to carry out the first large-scale confrontation drill after the relocation of the town and the joint training of various arms and equipment.

And Li Gefei, the political envoy who was invited to watch the ceremony, also stood with Zeng Hua, a familiar transfer envoy, and others, commenting and sighing in a low voice.

Although he was born in a typical literary class and transferred to the military, after all, he was one of the five commanders of the southeastern and northern expeditionary armies, and at least he still had some vision and judgment.

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as thunder."

"It can be said that Sun Tzu Liuru, the one who gets his fur is a good pawn."

"And the one who has to specialize in one is the teacher of the sergeant. can be the cornerstone of the country"

"And the two or three of them are a generation of strong soldiers. It's enough to leave a name in history. ”

"Now that I see the situation of the Huai arms battle, it is even more on it."

"In addition to not necessarily having the momentum of the wind, I am afraid that the essence of Sun Tzu Liuru is already the only one."

But before he could finish his words, he saw the chasseurs and the fat cavalry with their guns in front of them begin to enter in echelons, and they all demonstrated the horseback radiation in the process of standing and slowly marching and trotting, accelerating thrusts and sabre slashes at close range;

and the formation of the cavalry soldiers after the collective dismounting, and the alternate cover of the firing advance, and even the construction of bunkers and civil engineering operations on the spot.

And the most eye-catching attraction is undoubtedly the various charges and sweeping formations of the hussars, which are seen densely juxtaposed, like a wall like a forest, speeding through the field at a horizontal trot, with little looseness and deformation;

Then, the preset obstacles and humanoid targets in front of him were smashed and crushed with little difficulty, leaving only debris and wreckage.

Although there are inevitably traces of showmanship and special arrangement, it also reminds many people of the nightmare encounters and scenes in the face of the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty in the past.

And Li Gefei, who saw this scene, although his mouth was still full of praise, but in his heart it became more and more heavy and complicated; Although this autumn exercise did not deliberately promote the deterrence of strength and muscle display to the surrounding forces.

However, such an outstanding strong town elite soldier is also the existence of Lin Mao Fengjiao in the national court, but it has never been of great use to the center of the imperial court, and can only passively play the role of a firefighting team that turns the tide and runs around, which is undoubtedly a sigh and a faint worry.

In the long run, this elite division with full of spirit and outstanding merits but has not been used well, how much sense of belonging to the dynasty will there belong; Except for that Luo Domain, who else can control this unique and self-deprecating army of distant lands.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at it again, always smiling all day long, and Zeng Hua, who was known as the "Mud Bodhisattva Yunsi", was afraid of this result and prospects, and the other party had already foreseen it in his daily life of pretending to be deaf and dumb.

And now, although the dynasty has won the victory of the Northern Expedition, it is also a bleak country and the people's livelihood is withering, and there is also chaos inside and outside the mountains.

But what can he do, is he going to sacrifice his life to serve the country with his death, not to mention whether his doing so has any effect, and whether the other party is willing to give him this opportunity;

If he had been in the prime of life and had not yet been disheartened in the peaceful era of the early ten years of the dynasty, he might have had the determination to fight hard and fight to the death to dispel and block the signs and trends of feudal suppression in the army.

But even the objects to whom he could have been accustomed to allegiance had been split into two, and their ******** courtiers and officials were inevitably at a loss.

Fortunately, he himself went to work with a guilty body, and his daughter, who was the last concern in recent years, has also been brought to his side, and even if something happens in Lingnai, it is unlikely that he will be involved again.

After being imprisoned and re-released, the former protΓ©gΓ© and the old disciple Qingke, except for a few people who were willing to go to Huaidi with him, had basically dissociated themselves from him or distanced themselves from him.

And accustomed to being a subordinate on the wall for a long time under the strength of that town marshal, he didn't want to take the initiative to make any choices.

However, as the so-called fate makes people, when he wants to watch the development of the gaffe with a cold eye; The old man from the ridge brought him a suggestion and request that was difficult to refuse.

。。。。。。。。。。

On the viewing platform of the autumn exercises, I enjoyed the feel of these three bodies while reminiscing and digesting the recent news from across the sea.

As a kind of unexpected joy and gain, with the news that Jong Ze broke the Japanese ship regiment in the naval battle of Xiwankou, sank and captured at least two-thirds of the ships, and the rest escaped, the conquest of the Silla side has reached this point, and the dust has already settled.

After all, such a large group of ships, placed in the huge land of Fusang, is not so easy to organize and piece together, and it must also involve a fairly high level and a sufficient number of participants;

With these captures and evidence in hand, it is enough to severely question and investigate the Fusang side in the name of the national dynasty, and even if there is no way to send troops to land in Fuso's Northern Dynasty and take substantive punitive measures, it does not mean that subsequent negotiations and coercion cannot be carried out.

However, the Go-Baekje and Fuso armies, which had been cut off from large-scale foreign aid and had their backbones broken in the decisive battle in Gyeonggi-do, were driven out of the root area, and although there were still remnants of varying sizes north of the Taedong River, it was difficult to form any climate.

In the future, even if there are still some fragmentary maritime transportation capacity that can break through and infiltrate the patrols and vigilance of ship groups, it will be a drop in the bucket for the overall situation on the ground.

In this way, I can leave some of the patrol and forbidden sailors behind, and transfer back most of the forces that are mixed into the ship regiment, after all, in the southern situation, these precious surface combat forces are obviously more needed.

Of course, I can still use a little more force to completely wipe out this post-Baekje country before it snows; But this is certainly a pleasure, but it is not in line with Huaizhen's subsequent interests; Once there is no external threat and reason, the value and significance of Huaizhen's dispatch of troops will soon cease to exist.

After all, I didn't send troops across the sea to do good deeds and fulfill my internationalist obligations. Only with the presence of a unanimous enemy can there be a continued basis for compromise and unity.

All that remains is the subsequent results and the division of rights and interests, as well as the negotiation and negotiation of various aftermath disposals, such as the management and resettlement of the people belonging to the newly acquired territory.

Due to the contradictions and pressures of the northern princes who were relatively intact in the division of interests after the war, the remnants of the southern princes who had invited and followed the Huai army to fight instinctively held together.

As a result, the generals of the Eastern Expedition led by Cho Long also obtained a mutual aid alliance formed by the 26 remaining princes of the five provinces of Silla South under the coordination and judgment of the Huai army, which continued to be coordinated and judged by the Huai army, and provided corresponding military support and deterrence.

Of course, it is said that it is a mutual aid alliance, but in fact, under the leadership of Huaizhen, it maintains a group of elite athletes from each feudal army, and Huaizhen sends officers and non-commissioned officers as the backbone for training and equipment, and tens of thousands of standing armed forces as daily mobility and emergency forces;

According to the covenant, the princes of their respective territories will take out two or three to fifty percent of the income in their respective territories, and provide them to the alliance in the form of money or in-kind harvests and even special products as maintenance expenses, which is also equivalent to the price of losing tribute to Huaizhen in exchange for protection.

Because after the post-Baekje rebellion, most of the surviving local princes were quite weak and empty, even if they carved and annexed many of those "borderlands" that had been cut off or involved in rebellions through the Huai military force, and gained more territory and population, they were also eager to recuperate and be discharged from military service to gain more working people.

Huaizhen also acquired about 15 small counties from Jeolla-do, Gyeongsang-do, Gangwon-do, and coastal plains through land exchange and targeted forced population relocation in the southern provinces of Silla.

At present, according to the geographical trend and the distribution of cities, it is temporarily divided into four large states outside of Jeolla Province and is directly managed and reclaimed. At this time, through the defeat of the post-Baekje state, the captured followers of Maitreya and the liberated large number of entrapments were able to come in handy;

In addition, a large number of young and middle-aged people who were later brought back from the territories of the northern princes in retaliation and punishment on the grounds of collaborating with the enemy and cooperating with the rebellion, a large part of them also fell under the control of the Eastern Expeditionary Army through transactions and land exchanges.

Therefore, there is no shortage of people and labor in the four states of power, and the remaining question is how to ensure that most of them can survive this winter.

Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure on the new territory, in addition to an additional 60,000 stone of grain and other materials; A large part of these Silla people will cross the sea in batches and be sent to the relatively warm territory of Huaidong to be used as official slaves, and then assigned to various reclamation areas for labor and daily transformation according to custom. In the future, I will pick up the good performance and refill it back.

However, what is surprising is that most of these Silla people of all kinds showed a very obedient and tolerant attitude in the subsequent arrangement and placement, and there were not many people in the country who were not familiar with the right and wrong and disputes among the homeless people.

Obviously, as the Silla natives who are known for their ignorance, blind faith, and hard to teach, they are obviously prone to go from one extreme to the other; After witnessing the Maitreya religion and its divine aura, which he had always firmly believed, being crushed mentally and physically by guns and cannons, he quickly transformed into a sense of infinite worship and sincere obedience to the Huai army who used firearms.

Therefore, the consumption and demand to sustain their survival is even less than that of the displaced people in the Central Plains. It has also caused some pressure and a sense of competition among those newcomers, which is a later story.

But in any case, the second group of ships heading south was completed in the shortest possible time; 20 ships of various functions; It includes three main battle battalions reinforced by marines, hussars, hunters, and chariots.

In the meantime, I could also consider meeting someone from outside the ridge (to be continued.) )
