Chapter 274: Northern Expeditionary Army It's the last day, ask for a monthly pass
Chen Dexing was already sitting in the study room in Taixue, and there were already a lot of people sitting there.
Those who can be extended here are naturally Chen Dexing's followers, some of whom joined before the Lin'an Change, and some who came to defect after the Lin'an Change.
The princess was snatched in Deshou Palace, the rebels in front of Yuhang Gate, the cannon was fired outside the Tianmen, the real gold was refined in the protocol courtyard, and the country was forced to meditate in the palace...... In addition, the crucification of the traitor Hao Jing alive, coupled with the organized "requisition" of a lot of money and goods craftsmen in Lin'an, and the robbery of grain in Lincao Town, the robbery of the horses of the herdsmen and prisons, and so on, were completed in just a few days.
And all these things added up to tear off the last fig leaf on the Great Song Dynasty - let the whole world know that this court is actually without force. A court without force naturally cannot sanction a lawless warlord like Chen Dexing.
Therefore, Chen Dexing did not evacuate Lin'an immediately according to the plan, but settled down in Lin'an Taixue, that is, Yue Fei's former residence. also openly played the banner of the "Northern Expeditionary Army"!
From now on, the official name of Chen Dexing's armed forces is no longer called the Imperial Thunderbolt Army, and of course it is not called the Chen Family Army, but the Northern Expeditionary Army!
The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, expelled the Hulu, first revitalized the Han family, and then divided the fields, everyone was happy and enjoyed peace!
This was the slogan of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it was also the political program of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Fuxing Society. Of course, the re-division of the fields is not to divide the Jiangnan? Fields, but the redistribution of land in the north, including the land of the Central Plains, Yanyun, Liaodong, Western Regions, Goryeo and other places, are among the allocations!
However, it is not divided equally, but according to the size of the military merit. The rank and rank of the official will be distributed sooner or later to participate in the Chen Jiajun (Northern Expeditionary Army)! Great credit. The official is high, and the one who participates early. You can score more. Otherwise, they can only get a small share, and the people who migrate from the south to the north after the victory of the Northern Expedition can only get the most basic land division.
This political program, which combined the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains with the distribution of land, was not only propagated within the Chen Jiajun, but was told to the people of Lin'an City in the form of posting notices and sending tabloids. In addition, Chen Jiajun, who occupied Dinghai County in Qingyuan Prefecture and Shazhou County in Yangzhou, also received Chen Dexing's order to raise the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army and at the same time began to publicize the Northern Expedition program to the people.
And the purpose of propagating the program of the Northern Expedition. Naturally, it is necessary to attract people to join the gang and urge people to raise donations. The recruitment of soldiers by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the enrollment of military schools with the battalion, and the recruitment of samurai in Huaihai Town were also posted everywhere. Outside the city of Yuhangmen and outside the Taixue Gate of Lin'an, there are idle people who have no food to line up every day to enlist in the army - the local residents of Lin'an will naturally not join, but the single refugees who have been exiled from Sichuan, Jinghu, and Lianghuai are willing to join the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight for wealth. In just a few days, Chen Dexing's army in Lin'an expanded to about 10,000 people (including about 5,000 Ming disciples).
However, the soldiers recruited from Lin'an City were more or less tainted with the habits of small citizens. If you don't train hard for a while, there is no way to compare with the two Huai children and the Han people in the north. It's okay to use it to strengthen the momentum, but it's not good to really pull out a tough battle.
In addition to the exiles and Ming Christians who joined the army, some displaced scholars from Lin'an also came to Chen Dexing to try their luck, although the large group of Jiangnan scholars supported the Great Song Dynasty. But there are always some frustrated scholars who do not have a deep background, have unsatisfactory learning, and repeatedly fail to take the exam.
These people either go to seek refuge in high-ranking officials and giant businessmen as doormen. Either you can get into Lin'an to find an errand that a scholar can do, or do some small business.
It's just that these scholars have big thoughts, and they all think that they are Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang. How can you be willing to spend your life in the middle and lower classes of society? Seeing Chen Dexing doing such a career in Lin'an City, no matter what is rebellious or not, he came to try his luck.
And Chen Dexing is for these frustrated people. He also tried his best to win him over, and no matter what kind of scribe or samurai the other party was, his group was now weak and strong. There are martial artists who can fight, but there are very few literati who can dance and write.
At this moment, Chen Dexing was in a study room that Yue Fei once used, and together with Zhao Fu and Chen Huaiqing, he cordially met with more than a dozen scribes who came to serve. He also took the trouble to ask these scribes who thought they were Zhuge Liang.
In fact, he had already made up his mind to loot some money in Lin'an and Qingyuan, and then coerce hundreds of thousands and 200,000 people from Lin'an, Qingyuan, and Shazhou, and set up the signboard of the Northern Expedition to resist Mongolia and travel east to Goryeo and Liaodong to create a foundation. Here in Lin'an, let his father and a group of civil officials intrigue!
Therefore, no matter how ordinary scribes advocate the allusion of "Wei Wu coerced the emperor", Chen Dexing was not moved at all - these scribes only knew Cao Cao, but they didn't see how Dong Zhuo and Li Dao hung up!
It was not Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who didn't see Emperor Zhao Yun - because Chen Dexing didn't catch Zhao Yun! Even when Chen Dexing attacked Chaotianmen, Zhao Yun still had six or seven thousand men and horses in his hands, including 1,500 people in front of the palace who had strong combat effectiveness!
In addition, Wang Jian, Wang Yan's father and son also had more than 1,000 personal soldiers brought from Sichuan, and 4,500 or 5,000 Ya troops were caught by them!
That is to say, even when Chen Dexing was at his most arrogant, there were still more than 10,000 troops loyal to the Great Song Dynasty in Lin'an, of which no less than 2,500 could fight!
And in the past few days, while Chen Dexing has stepped up the expansion of the army. Jia Rudao, who had just taken power, was also desperately trying to catch arms.
First of all, Wang Jian was appointed as a member of the Privy Council and the pacification envoy of Lin'an, and allocated 100,000 copper from the sealing warehouse to expand the army to 20,000 people, and also gave the title of the commander of the guards and pro-army - the original Lin'an guard Ma Bujun, all those who did not participate in the battle to defend the imperial city were dismissed, so the army organized by Wang Jian was the new guard pro-army!
Then, Jia Rudao asked Han Zhen to expand the front of the palace to 20,000 pro-army on the basis of the thousands of people guarding the palace! also gave Han Zhen the title of signing the Privy Council and the pacification envoy of Lin'an, as well as 100,000 copper funds!
In addition, he also flew to Yangzhou and transferred Li Tingzhi to bring 20,000 Wurui troops into Lin'an, and Li Tingzhi himself served as the pacification envoy of eastern Zhejiang, the governor of Lin'an Mansion and the commander of the Wurui army - this appointment broke the boundary between civil and military, and let a Wenchen with the title of bachelor serve as the commander of the first army.
At the same time, he also issued an edict in the name of Zhao Yu, appointing Zhao Kui, a general who had always been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, as the ambassador of Xuanfu in the two rivers (east and west of the south of the Yangtze River) and the envoy of the system along the Yangtze River. It has full authority to rectify the defense along the Yangtze River and the two rivers. Du Shu and Xiang Shibi were also appointed as pacification envoys of Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road in Huaixi respectively, cooperating with Zhao Kui.
Some of the six ministers also went out to control each other. Jiang Wanli, who had served as a pacification envoy in Fujian, also served as a pacification envoy and coastal control envoy of Fujian Road again. Wu Qian, the prime minister of the left, went out of the town of Zhejiang West Road, and concurrently served as the prime minister of western Zhejiang, the Qingyuan Mansion and the coastal envoy. Ma Guangzu was sent to Guangzhou, in order to participate in the governor's affairs, Duanming Palace, and worship the two Guangzhous to pacify the envoys.
Under some arrangement, the Southern Song Dynasty court put a total of seven pacification envoys in Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang, Fujian, and Liangguang in the hands of reliable important ministers, and at the same time mobilized and recruited 60,000 troops to defend Lin'an. It's kind of trying to stabilize the position.
For the warlords of Jinghu, Lianghuai, and Sichuan, the court also made concessions that were unimaginable before. Liu Quan served as the envoy of the Lizhou Festival, Yu Xing served as the envoy of the Yizhou Festival, Lu Wende served as the envoy of the East Sichuan Festival, Lu Wenhuan served as the envoy of the Jiangling Town Festival, Zhang Jue served as the envoy of the Xingyuan Town, Gao served as the envoy of the Xiangyang Town, Cao Shixiong served as the envoy of the Tanzhou Festival, Zhang Sheng served as the envoy of the Ezhou Festival, Yang Wen served as the envoy of the Southern Sichuan Festival, Xia Gui served as the envoy of the Huaixi Festival, Liu Xiongfei served as the envoy of the Zizhou Festival, Li He served as the observer of Yangzhou, Cheng Dayuan served as the observer of Zhenzhou, Fan Sheng served as the observer of Haozhou, plus Chen Dexing's Haidong and Liaodong Jiedu envoys, Seal out 15 knots and observation in one breath.
The situation of the five generations of military leaders in the late Tang Dynasty was rampant, and they returned to the world overnight!
However, there is still a difference between a feudal town and a rebellious town, except for Chen Dexing, who has greater ambitions, the lords of the other fourteen feudal towns are already very satisfied with being able to become a town. According to the experience of the Tang Dynasty, it was only when the imperial court wanted to cut down the feudal domain or interfere with the succession issue that it was easier to trigger a rebellion in the feudal town.
So from this point of view, the current situation of the Southern Song Dynasty is no worse than in history - in history, the Southern Song Dynasty court has not found a balance point that can coexist with the feudal towns before Liu Quan's rebellion, or the courtiers and civil officials headed by Jia Yidao have never given up their efforts to restore the situation of Wen Yuwu until Liu Quan's rebellion broke out! And Liu Quan's rebellion, coupled with the previous attack on the Wuchen group by Jia Nidao in the name of planning the law (some civil officials who were not on good terms with Jia Nidao were also attacked), had severely damaged the national defense strength of the Song Dynasty.
And Liu Quan's rebellion caused Jia to be completely bankrupt with the efforts of Wen Yuwu, and he could only rely on the warlords of the Anfeng family to survive. However, the strength of Anfeng Jiangmen was not enough to resist the Mongol invasion. Therefore, there was a situation where Xiangyang was besieged for several years, and the imperial court had no reinforcements to send.
In the end, the 130,000 "elite soldiers of all the ways" that Jia Rudao had barely put together were crushed at the touch of a button in Dingjiazhou, and it was obvious that the Southern Song Dynasty court did not take advantage of the respite brought by the Mongolian civil war to train and organize truly useful elite soldiers.
At present, the 60,000 "Central Army" being formed by the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be stronger than in history. At least the officials who are responsible, except for Han Zhen, Li Tingzhi and Wang Jian are all top generals in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Southern Song Dynasty court, stimulated by the Lin'an Change, actually showed a little sign of cheering up!
Thinking of this, Chen Dexing stood up abruptly and announced loudly: "Three days later, the Northern Expeditionary Army will set off for camp, first go to Dinghai, and then hang sail north!" If you are willing to follow someone who smashes the Yellow Dragon, please stand up! (To be continued......) R1292
