Chapter 790: Sprout 20

The entire territory of Xinchengzhou, about 110 miles away from Liaocheng, has just settled.

looked at the phalanx of unarmed soldiers in front of him. The former leader of the vassal guard and Sima of Liaoxi, the current commander of the right wing of the Andong garrison, Luo Xiangxian also sighed slightly.

And on the roster of inspection and management,

In addition to the 2,000 feudal soldiers stationed in the local area, and the 3,000 new soldiers recruited, the rest was the 6,000 cavalry brought over by the capital supervisor Luo Bingsheng.

Therefore, 11,000 people, multiplied by a few times, is also a considerable military strength, plus the local arsenal and grain and grass hoarding for the enemy, whether it is placed in the local area or in the family, it is a very important amount.

In particular, these cavalry are carefully selected vanguard key horsemen from the huge coalition army that accompanied the feudal lord's westward expedition, and if the family is left alone or scattered in the place, I am afraid that it will be tiring to pack up for a long time.

Fortunately, Luo Zhanrong still bowed his head and softened, and handed over this centaur.

And hundreds of generals and sergeants who were related to Luo Zhanrong were also called out by name and went to Liaocheng to serve separately from now on; In this way, the vacancy they left behind was very convenient for Luo Xiangxian, and the reliable manpower he brought from his own family was placed to supplement it. In this way, this important armed force will be re-grasped.

Although there was some commotion and tension in the process, it was still under strict surveillance and deterrence, and the bomb was calmed down.

After all, the vast majority of them were from the old ministry of Liaoxi with the former feudal lord, and many of them could not accept that they were meritorious soldiers, and overnight they became a split family and rebelled against the party.

Therefore, most people still have the attitude of being quite happy to see this result or following the crowd, or even silently accepting the fait accompli. This saved Luo Xiangxian's reorganization and dispatch a lot of trouble and effort.

As one of the few close ministers and helpers who supported Luo Yunxiao's seizure of power, he also received quite generous rewards and rewards from those in power when the dust settled.

In addition to the dereliction of duty in 10 million money, 500 silk colors, 50 gold and good mansions in the inner city, he also obtained the qualifications of Xia Qingzuo and the fiefdom of 2,000 households in Hongshanyi.

If nothing else, this Xincheng will be his long-term residence in the future, and his title will also change from the right wing of Anton's garrison to the assassin of Xinchengzhou, and the training envoy of the town defense regiment.

Of course, according to the family's plan, the newly recruited 3,000 soldiers will be dismissed as usual, and then the soldiers of the newly established military government will be enriched, and Luo Bingsheng, the former supervisor of the left wing, will become the new town defense officer;

And the 6,000 cavalry athletes will also return to the direct sequence of the family in batches, in addition to selecting some elites to fill the guards, the rest are incorporated into the right wing horse army of the Anton Guarding Army, so that the Anton Guarding Army, which is the core force of the family, will once again be fully organized and restored to the state of complete horses and steps in history.

The last remaining 2,000 permanent soldiers are the men and horses directly under his command. In addition, the 1,500 soldiers of the clan that he brought to take over the area constituted a military force to defend this important northern town.

At the same time, it is also an important deterrent and surveillance, and those ministers and acting officials who are suspected of being involved in Xinchengzhou make them dare not act rashly, and bow down to their own families.

It's just that he checked to the end and found that there seemed to be a lot of vacancies in the ranks, and some of the people who were originally on the list of accusations and revelations were not in the barracks sequence.

In the internal questioning and interrogation, he got the answer that before the family sent troops to take over, these people were already afraid and afraid, and they left the camp one after another to become deserters.

Since there is such a public opinion, Luo Xiangxian didn't have the heart to delve into it, but just sent a notice to his family; Then, in his capacity as the newly appointed assassin and regimental training envoy, he ordered the surrounding city lords and township communities to be vigilant and strictly guard against these possible armed deserters to disturb and invade the other party.

Of course, from a certain position and point of view, in all fairness, he hopes that these armed absconding can give birth to something in the place, so that he can justifiably lead the troops to sweep the surrounding area and declare his strength and merit

In Liaocheng, everything is still in full swing.

The lord and patriarch of the Anton Da Luo clan is a hereditary lord of the country, and a first-class fiefdom in the same rank; The specifications of this funeral ritual are also quite high, and it can even be said that it is extremely complicated, and the martyrs of the various shapes of chariots, horses, soldiers, and guards are as many as six thousand.

The curtains, bells, drums, feasts, wine jugs, bronze keepings, swords, feathers, ivory, leather, utensils, and new Ming utensils used by the mourners during his lifetime were even more in the thousands, and it took two or three hundred carts to load. In addition, the sacrifices of cattle, horses, and animals sacrificed by various families for slaughter and sacrifice filled several pens in the stable.

In addition, there are temples and cemeteries on the ground, so there is a lot of time and effort to prepare in advance.

Although the countrymen and the people of the vassal have already had dishes all the way, it seems that it cannot affect the determination and courage of Liaocheng to do extravagant things at the funeral.

In other words, they deliberately maintained a solemn and cumbersome funeral ceremony to show their authority and rank in front of many ministers and even external allies, or rather, they had accumulated a deep accumulation.

During this period, I was also accompanied by the generals and people sent by Luo Yunxiao, and I had a tour with the people in power who were in power. It can also be regarded as a familiar face for them in the future, and they can experience the style and attitude of Luo Fan in the post-Luo Yunxiao era.

During this period, I also got more insider information and rumors:

For example, from the second day after Luo Yunxiao returned to his family, he took in more than a dozen concubines in one mouth; Among them, the most favored is a new concubine named Zainu, who and his family have ascended to heaven overnight, and his brother has changed from the leader of the naturalized people who managed the feudal slaves to the newly granted lord of Puning;

And for a woman named My Lady, she is exceptionally obedient. And this lady is also the head of the female official who is now in charge of the back house, and the official worships the inner Shang, known as Su Dashang.

And through this woman's door, you can even spend a lot of money to obtain and obtain some positions and titles in the lower and lower classes of the family; Or get some convenience and privileges in the ritual, or even some distant city lords or something.

In addition, it is said that this woman is still faintly in control of the scenes, and the right to re-bid and sell many confiscated industries in the huge outer Guo for confiscation is cheap, so for a while, the worshippers under the door are in the market, which is said to be hot.

There are even rumors that in the neighboring states of Cangyan and Bezhou, several ministers who were originally deprived of their possession were only punished by demotion, fines, and double tribute because even if they got through her way and kept their titles.

And for me, the amount of information contained in this news is somewhat meaningful.

In this daily life of friendship, testimony and rumors, various political negotiations and compromises, a few days passed in a flash, and finally it was the auspicious day of the funeral.

It's just that, standing on the head of Anshun Fort, watching the vast group of people who are rushing out of several city gates and gathering in the east to pay homage, in the sound of drums and beating, help the mighty team of people who meander away from the cypress Zigong with tiger stripes;

I suddenly had a strange premonition and delusion, which seemed to be the last glory and return of Luo Fan. It also opened my eyes a little.

As the funeral of the princes of the border domain, although it is not as good as the specifications of the traditional emperor, it is not too much in terms of the corresponding procedures and etiquette; From the corresponding candidates who preside over the funeral and the specifications of the ceremonial guards for the mausoleum, to the materials used for the specific objects of pedestrians, they are all related to decency and prestige, and should not be neglected and omitted.

And from the beginning to the end - the revenge ceremony (conjuring spirits) → set up a curtain hall→ obituary, as the position, for the funeral gift of the →→ bathing→ meal with → attack→ set up heavy → small → large → clothes, often for several days or even ten years of effort.

The whole process is full of solemn and elegant ancient style, and it is said that many of the ceremonial officials and details are even the product of hundreds of years or thousands of years; In contrast, the corresponding funeral rites and customs of the foreign princes on the islands of the South China Sea where I was born can only be described as simple because of ugliness.

And this time, two generations of feudal lords were running together, so according to the order of the elders, there was a gap between the two, although most of them had already been completed in the inner city; However, the remaining process of supporting the coffin into the burial and covering the tomb adds up, and it is almost ten days and half a month, which cannot be handled in a decent manner.

In addition, it is about to enter the middle of summer, so even if it is cloudy for several days, there is no shortage of old and frail retainers or clansmen during the funeral, and there is news that they are physically and mentally exhausted, faint and sick.

I can barely be regarded as a distant sect and an important foreign alliance. Therefore, except for the promise to enter the inner city for a time, standing on the edge of the front row of the relatives and important ministers of the clan, representing the brief condolences and offerings of the sect; You have to avoid these tedious funerals, just watch from the wall at the station, and inquire about the news at the same time.

After all, for the vast majority of people, the real highlight is after the funeral, at the regular courtesy; It is said that the acting lord of the domain, Luo Yunxiao, intended to officially establish the candidate for the prince of the Luo domain from among the sons left by Luo Zhanji on this occasion, so as to appease the hearts of everyone.

Maybe at that time, it will be the stage and time for all the forces to appear, or jump up and down, or even try to see the dagger.

However, at this very moment, a message from Roche's inner house; Let the emotions of new hatred and old hatred come to my heart. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
