Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Liu Yi thought about it for a while and decided to set November 1 a few days later as the National Day of the New Han Dynasty, and at that time, in addition to a military parade, the whole city would celebrate and celebrate the establishment of the New Han Dynasty
In the cold winter, in fact, many housework has been done, and most people have nothing to do. Therefore, it is not impossible to let the people relax a little.
Of course, some workshops still have to continue to work. However, on the day of the National Day, you can have a day off, so that the people can enjoy together.
In the Luoyang area, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, everyone has not had a good life, and they have lived tremblingly every day, for fear that a disaster will befall them one day. Especially after Dong Zhuo's forced eviction and looting, almost everyone was panicked as if the world had come.
Fortunately, Liu Yi recaptured Luoyang from Dong Zhuo's hands, drove Dong Zhuo away, and rescued them from Dong Zhuo's iron hooves, so that they could continue to live in Luoyang. Fortunately, Liu Yi established the New Han Dynasty, gave them food, and led them to self-production, so that they could finally start their lives again.
Therefore, for the National Day set by Liu Yi now, almost every person clapped their hands and celebrated with joy. They have experienced so many hardships and cherished their hard-won life even more, and now Liu Yi has set a day for everyone to celebrate the whole city, which makes them feel a little more belonging to this new Han Dynasty and support Liu Yi's rule even more.
There is no need to prepare for anything, in front of the gate of the palace, there is a vast large school field, and the military parade ceremony can be held in this large school field.
At that time, the battalions of the representatives of the various armies marched through the streets on the side, passed through the school grounds, saluted the young emperor and Liu Yi on the upper floor of the palace city, reported the military number, and then went out from the south gate of Luoyang City from Xuanwu Street. It is enough to return to the barracks.
Come to Ying'er and Bian Yu, they heard that Liu Yi was going to hold such a military parade, they pestered Liu Yi, and asked Liu Yi to agree to their Royal Opera Orchestra to perform on the school grounds as a guard of honor. Liu Yi had no choice but to let them. But. Liu Yi thought about the honor guard of later generations and thought of the March of the Volunteers, but unfortunately, this song was not stored in the solar mobile phone. But Liu Yi can still hum some rhythms, and to Liu Yi's surprise, after he hummed it, Bian Yu was really able to compose music. Although it is not too complete, some of the rhythms are correct, and there is not much difference from the score of the March of the Volunteers of later generations. It was rare that she could even think of playing it with a horn.
The March of the Volunteers, played with a horn, has another flavor that is both uplifting and a little desolate.
Liu Yi decided to use the March of the Volunteers as the military song of the Han Army of the New Han Dynasty. After spending a night, Leo Yi reluctantly adapted the lyrics, ready for the sergeant to sing it.
Gan Ning really couldn't wait, he had long wanted to return to Dongting Lake Xinzhou as soon as possible. If it weren't for the unification and reorganization of the army, he would have returned to Dongting Lake after defeating the Xiongnu army. Therefore, after announcing the results of the unification of the army, he led the Eighth and Ninth Armies back to Dongting Lake. Of course, a battalion of more than two thousand sergeants remained. As a representative of the navy, participate in the military parade.
The Tenth Army's naval army, after he returned to Dongting Lake Xinzhou, was reorganized from the sergeants of Dongting Lake.
The three armies of the navy. It's just over 60,000 people, and it has to be expanded. However, for the sake of combat effectiveness, Gan Ning only needed the establishment of three armies for the time being. In the future, when the army is to be expanded, the army name will be followed, for example, the 26th Army or the 30th Army can be used. He is not in a hurry about these, he doesn't care about the number of troops, he only cares about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
Liu Biao already has more than 100,000 sailors, and he only has 60,000 troops, so if you want to talk about the comparison of troops, it may not be as much as Liu Biao, but Gan Ning is confident that even if it is a head-on battle with Liu Biao's 100,000 sailors, he is sure to defeat Liu Biao's navy.
Hehe, Gan Ning was excited when he thought of the big war ship made by the Dongting Lake Xinzhou Base.
The newly made war-like is more than 30 meters long and about 20 meters wide.
Five-story shipbuilding, large and small five-mast sails. Before he transported the trebuchet and the bed Nu to Luoyang, he had already tried the power of this kind of warship, and when he sailed, if it was a tailwind, he could travel thousands of miles in a day.
In terms of ship speed, the five-masted warship has far surpassed all the official ships and warships of the Han Dynasty.
This is only the speed advantage of the warship, and the more important thing is the lethality of the trebuchet and the bed crossbow.
Each five-masted ship can be equipped with four trebuchets, and on both sides of the ship, you can also install ten bed crossbows. Ten bed crossbows, one fire, can fire hundreds of powerful arrows, will surely hit the enemy ship to a thousand holes.
It can be said that with the speed of the warship, the power of the trebuchet and bed crossbow in the future can completely solve the opponent's warship at a long distance, so that all the opponent's sergeants will be buried underwater.
With such a killer weapon, Liu Biao is useless even if he has more water army. What's more, when at medium and close range, the salvo of his own sergeant's bow and arrow can completely destroy the other party, even if such a strike method is not used, the two ships are close to the battle, with the bravery of the sergeant, Gan Ning also believes that Liu Biao's naval army is not the opponent of his own sergeant.
Obviously, Gan Ning has clearly felt that his water army will be an invincible water army that no one can defeat in the entire Han Dynasty. Therefore, he really can't wait to return to Dongting Lake now.
Liu Yi had already told him that when the princes of the world were working hard to develop, no one would dare to send troops to provoke the New Han Dynasty and seize the control of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that due to the limitation of military rations, if he wants to send troops to fulfill Ganning's dream of becoming a tyrant in the water, he is trying to find a way to solve the problem of military rations. Let Liu Yi no longer have to worry about military rations. And how to solve the problem of military rations, he also has some ideas.
Which is to ask his brother to borrow, when he was a Jinfan thief, the water thieves he knew, in recent years, there will definitely be a lot of property seized, definitely no worse than when he was a Jinfan thief. Anyway, Gan Ning had already had the heart to persuade those water thieves to join Liu Yi, but for various reasons, he never had the opportunity to send troops to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Now, the time has come.
The reason why Gan Ning didn't expand too much of the water army at once was also because of his own worshippers, if he could incorporate those water thieves and robbers, there would be tens of thousands of more troops. Recruiting water thieves and robbers into an army, Gan Ning felt that it was much more effective than the soldiers who trained those landlubbers into a water army.
So. Gan Ning couldn't wait, asked Liu Yi for his resignation, and led the army to leave Luoyang.
Of course, when passing through Gangneung, he did not forget to put pressure on Liu Biao. forced Liu Biao to pay grain to Liu Yi. There is no war against Liu Biao yet. can only use the means of coercion, before the real war against Liu Biao, get the grain first. After all, Liu Biao's batch of grain. It is related to the survival of millions of people in Luoyang and Bingzhou. Once Liu Biao's grain is missing, it is equivalent to making millions of people hungry for a month.
In fact, after the Iraqi envoy to Luoyang came back, after conveying Liu Yi's words to Liu Biao, Liu Biao felt a little scared. Now Leo Yi is in the limelight for a while. The truth is that Liu Biao secretly did some disgraceful things to Liu Yi's base. Liu Yi really wants to send troops to him with anger and attack his Jingxiang region, and it is really difficult for him to confront Liu Yi.
Of course, he would not give Liu Yi millions of stone of grain so readily, after all, this amount is too big, and he can't take it out for a while, unless he wants to bring the grain stocks of all the counties in Jingxiang area, otherwise. I really can't take it. However, if you really want to bring all the food, will the other county guards agree? People also have troops to eat and use, so how to say, the local government also needs to eat and drink.
He Akari. did not dare to explicitly refuse not to give food to Liu Yi, and sent a messenger again, sending 100,000 stones of grain to Luoyang, so that the envoy could ask to see Liu Yi again. I hope that Liu Yi can see that he is also in difficulty, and ask for as little food as possible. Also, I hope that I can delay a little time, and I don't have to rush to deliver all the food.
At the same time, he also urgently summoned the wealthy scholars in the Jingxiang area to discuss the threat from Liu Yi with those people.
Seriously, Liu Biaoxiàn is in, and the entire Jingxiang region can also draw hundreds of thousands of troops. If you really tear your face with Liu Yi and fight a decisive battle, you may not necessarily lose. In particular, in the case of Liu Biaoxiàn, unlike Liu Yi, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, he was not affected by the fact that he had to develop the people's livelihood with peace of mind because of the lack of food, and he had to stop fighting and did not dare to start the war again.
At this time, Liu Biao is a bit similar to Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, if these two people, they really have courage and talent. They can take advantage of the fact that several big warlords and princes are unable to start a big war now, and take the opportunity to expand their power, and even, like Liu Biao, he can suddenly launch a full-scale war against Liu Yi. Taking advantage of Liu Yi's failure to launch another big battle for a while, he dispatched a large army to capture Wancheng in one fell swoop. Then, use the terrain around Wancheng to build a defensive line to resist Liu Yi's army, so that as long as Liu Yi does not recapture Wancheng for a day, it will be difficult to threaten him Liu Biao for a day. At the same time, after Liu Biao captured Wancheng and built a defensive line, he could mobilize military horses to attack Dongting Lake Xinzhou, if he could block Gan Shou's army in Wancheng before Gan Ning returned to Dongting Lake from Luoyang, then, with Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses in Dongting Lake Xinzhou alone, it would definitely be difficult to confront Liu Biao's hundreds of thousands of troops, and he would definitely be destroyed by Liu Biao.
It's a pity that Liu Yi's momentum is too big, defeating Dong Zhuo, and almost hitting Chang'an to destroy Dong Zhuo. In addition, in a short period of time, more than 200,000 Hun cavalry were defeated, well, according to intelligence, almost more than 200,000 Hun cavalry were annihilated.
Liu Biao's unparalleled battle deeds against Liu Yi, even the more than 200,000 cavalry of the Huns could be almost wiped out in a battle, and it was him Liu Biao, wouldn't it be easier to be defeated by Liu Yi? Therefore, after learning that Liu Yi had defeated more than 200,000 Hun cavalry, he really didn't have the slightest intention of using troops against Liu Yi, on the contrary, he was afraid that Liu Yi would use him to open his sword.
Naturally, he was afraid for a while, and now, when Liu Yi asked him for so much food, he was a little unwilling, and he was unwilling to deliver so much food to Liu Yi.
In his heart, he felt that Liu Yi was too deceitful, and if he just sent all the food that Liu Yi asked for so quietly, it would seem that he was too dignified, and people would think that he was afraid of Liu Yi.
In this way, he summoned those wealthy scholars in the Jingxiang area, in fact, he wanted to provoke them and see if they supported him to fight Liu Yi. If he can get the support of all the wealthy scholars in Jingxiang area, Liu Biao will also have some confidence to fight with Liu Yi.
It's a pity that those local rich scholars, they are even more timid, except for a very small number of hardliners, other people all want to agree to Liu Yi's request and destroy the disaster.
These are rich families. When they joined forces to carry out an economic blockade of Dongting Lake Xinzhou, they never thought that Liu Yi would once be in the ascendant and would be so strong. At this moment, they had already been frightened by Liu Yi's strength, and they were a little worried that Liu Yi would really kill Jing Xiang. They were worried that Liu Yi would come and settle accounts with them.
There is no way. Most of the wealthy scholars in the Jingxiang area did not dare to stand up and fight against Liu Yi together, so Liu Biao's desire to confront Liu Yi was completely extinguished. Without the support of the local nobles. He Liu Biao didn't dare to mess around.
However, since these local scholars were so afraid of Liu Yi, Liu Biao didn't want to bear Liu Yi's claim alone. Millions of stones of grain is really too much, if it is all given by Liu Biao alone. Then after he came to Jingzhou, all the oil and water had to be given to Liu Yi.
In this way, he told Liu Yi about Liu Yi's request for one million stone of grain as compensation for everyone's economic blockade of Dongting Lake and Xinzhou. Clearly said that he couldn't take that much, and asked these local scholars to pay together. Otherwise, if Liu Yi really wanted to call, he would have no choice.
This, at the beginning, most of the scholars still pushed each other, and everyone wondered if they could give less. However, when Gan Ning suddenly led his army back to Dongting Lake. And when he led the army to the city of Xiangyang, these warriors were panicked.
promised to cooperate with Liu Biao and do his best to gather enough food to send to Liu Yi.
For this reason, they also sent some grain to Gan Ning, and asked Gan Ning to lead the army to leave.
When Gan Ning left and returned to Dongting Lake. By the way, he told Liu Biao that the waters of the Yangtze River were protected by the naval army of Dongting Lake and Xinzhou, and that his naval army had better be disbanded. lest there be a misunderstanding when the two armies meet on the Yangtze River. In addition, some Xinmin newspapers of the New Han Dynasty were also left for Liu Biao and others to read.
I saw the unification and reorganization of the pro-Han army of the New Han Dynasty in Xinmin Daily. There are more than 20 armies and more than 500,000 horses. Liu Biao and the others were all cold, if they used to guess Liu Yi's strength and didn't know how powerful Liu Yi was, now when they look at it, they completely understand.
These more than 500,000 horses and more than 20 armies are clear at a glance, once he attacks him Liu Biao, how will he resist?
More than 100,000 cavalry, plus other types of troops, a wide variety of projects, seem to be very targeted, some of the names of the army, they have never heard of it. Especially when they saw the names of the Stone Machine Battalion and the Bed Crossbow Battalion, they were even more alarmed, and they also understood why Dong Zhuo and the Huns were so easily defeated by Liu Yi.
What frightened Liu Biao and the others the most was that Liu Yi's army could be dispatched at any time, and the reorganized army could be killed in the Jingxiang area with one order. And what about him Liu Biao? Although it is said that hundreds of thousands of troops can be requisitioned in the entire Jingxiang area, but when will the Jingxiang area be so large that hundreds of thousands of troops can be concentrated? The People's Army Liu Yi's army, it seems, is extremely combative, if Liu Yi's soldiers enter his Jingxiang area in multiple ways, how will he deal with it? Not to mention that there is still an army in Dongting Lake Xinzhou.
That's right, he now has 100,000 naval troops in Jiangling, and Jiangling, Xiangyang and other county cities also have tens of thousands of troops stationed there. Don't forget, the commander of Liu Yi's navy is Gan Ning, this person's prestige has already made the people in Jingxiang area frightened, once he fights with Liu Yi, his 100,000 sailors will definitely fight with Gan Ning, not to say who wins and who loses in the end, but it must be restrained by Gan Ning's navy, and it is difficult to participate in other wars.
In this way, it is equivalent to Liu Biao confronting Liu Yi's hundreds of thousands of troops with the army of several cities, is it still possible to win the battle?
Liu Biao was really afraid, and before the messenger sent came back, he immediately sent someone to tell Liu Yi that the grain that Liu Yi wanted would be sent to Luoyang before the end of the year.
Those Jingxiang clan didn't dare to play any more tricks, three times five divided by two, and simply scraped together enough one million stone grain.
In this way, Liu Biao's loss was not as big as he imagined, one million stone of grain, and the wealthy families of the Shi clan in the Jingxiang area were almost enough. After all, after Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, many of the policies and measures he took to govern Jingzhou were conducive to the interests of the wealthy families of the scholars in these places, and in the past two or three years, they have fished a lot of oil and water, and the amount of grease and ointment they have collected is definitely only more than Liu Biao.
In the face of Liu Yi's aggressiveness, Liu Biao couldn't care about these face-saving things, and thought that the most important thing was to dispel Liu Yi's use of troops against him.
When he sent a messenger to see Liu Yi again, Liu Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had resolved this crisis without bleeding himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
He didn't know that after letting Liu Yi know about his situation, he would almost become Liu Yi's grain extractor in the next few years. But whenever Liu Yi was short of food, the first thing he thought of asking Liu Biao in various names, whether it was borrowing or robbing, anyway, let Liu Yi get it every time.
It was precisely because he asked Liu Yi to ask for food every time that Liu Biao could be in Jingzhou until he died of old age, and Liu Yi never sent troops to officially kill him
