Chapter 221
Ding Siji's meaning was very clear, and asked Chai Rong to send someone to Yinzhou to hand over and change the defense, and the Ming army would withdraw from Yinzhou City on the same day and return to Shizhou.
This is Baili Wuji's order to Ding Siji, Ding Sijin doesn't understand, how did this fat in his hand be sent out by the emperor with a word, but Ding Sijin didn't dare to disobey, with his military position, he naturally knew that Baili Wuji hated the most was the dictatorship of military generals.
Under Chai Rong's eyes, Guo Jin asked, "Does the commander of Ding Du have any conditions for mentioning the withdrawal of the Ming army?" ”
The envoy of the Ming army replied: "My commander has no conditions. ”
The words of the envoy made the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State want to look at each other, which is also incredible, if this is the personal meaning of Ding Siji, it can also be understood that this person has the intention of taking refuge in the Zhou State, but the Zhou State will never dare to contain it, the problem is that the order to withdraw the troops and return must be issued by Baili Wuji, which makes people wonder how this "stupid" order can come from the mouth of Baili Wuji.
Including Chai Rong, no one dares to think that Baili Wuji is stupid.
But since the Ming army was willing to give up Yinzhou unconditionally, Chai Rong sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead his troops to receive it.
Zhao Kuangyin led 10,000 Zhou troops to follow the envoy to Yinzhou, worried and cautious along the way.
It wasn't until the handover was completed and the Ming army withdrew from Yinzhou City and returned to Shizhou that Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief, and today was as unreal as a dream.
Since Zhao Kuangyin joined the army, he has never seen a king who can give up this land in his hands, and the national strength is far better than that of Zhou.
Baili Wuji, who is far away in Jinling, is naturally not a fool, and he gave such a big gift to Zhou Guo. Say that there is nothing to do with a hundred miles?
Baili Wuji has been standing and looking at the map for a long time, and now the Zhou State has recovered the five states of Dingyan, and connected them with the three states of Fu, Lin, and Sheng. Then there is a basis for going north.
What Baili Wuji is worried about now is that after this battle, the Liao State will be wiped out by 50,000 troops, and this account will be recorded on the head of the Ming State nine times out of ten, which Baili Wuji had already thought of before deciding to send troops. The 50,000 Liao cavalry were wiped out, and with the strength of the Zhou army, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve Chai Rong for another ten years, and the Liao State does not need to think about it. It can also be guessed that it must be the Ming Kingdom that participated in this battle.
This time is different from the last time when the Northern Han was flattened by the Ming State, the Northern Han is only a nominal vassal state of the Liao State, and the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty cannot make the Liao State feel pain. But this time it was different, 50,000 Liao troops were annihilated, which would definitely shake the Liao court.
The last time the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Liao State sent envoys to negotiate. But this time. The fact that the Liao State has not sent an envoy so far does not mean that the Liao State does not care about it, but that it is too concerned, and because it realizes that it does not want to use the envoy to solve the problem through negotiation.
Baili Wuji is now thinking about whether the Liao State has the courage to tear up the peace treaty and fight the Ming State again.
There are Chen Yanzheng's 30,000 troops and a newly formed 50,000 cavalry in the land of Yanyun, and Baili Wuji is not worried about the Liao army going south, as long as it is not the Liao State to send out. Breaking through Yan Yun, who was defended by the 80,000 Ming Army, this was definitely not an easy task. The adjacent twelve prefectures of Taiyuan are also garrisoned by Ding Siji, Yang Ye and 20,000 people of the Eighth Army, and if something is wrong, they can send reinforcements to Yanyun at any time. If necessary, the Ming army could even increase troops to Yanyun with fleets from Jinling, Jiangdu, Hangzhou and other ports.
Baili Wuji is worried about the Zhou State, if the Liao State abandons Yanyun, and like this time, the army will come down from Shengzhou, it will be very troublesome, if Chai Rong does not come to ask for help from the Ming State, with the combat power of the Zhou army, the battle will be able to win and will shake the foundation of the Zhou State. If you come to ask for help, this Baili Wuji will definitely go to the rescue, but this kind of selfless assistance, Baili Wuji can't explain to the subjects of the Ming Kingdom.
This time, the Ming State sent 50,000 people to rescue the Zhou army, paid more than 10,000 casualties, including a large number of grain and grass materials, the only thing to get was to capture more than 20,000 war horses of the Liao army, if it was Ming's own war, this does not need to be explained, but this is a war to reinforce the Zhou State, the subjects of the Ming State do not have the foresight of Baili Wuji, naturally they are not happy, blood will be shed in other countries, but there is no benefit, who wants to do such a stupid thing.
Baili Wuji can't judge the future trend of Liao at present, and can only prevent trouble.
After deliberation, he wrote a letter, suggesting that Chai Rong should garrison Sheng, Fu and Erzhou with heavy troops, and strictly guard against the Liao army's southward movement.
At the same time, he ordered Chen Yanzheng to strengthen the defense of Yanyun's various passes, and ordered Ding Siji's troops to send a powerful force from Taiyuan to Daizhou to prevent the Liao army from retaliating, and ordered Yang Ye's troops to move from Shizhou to Lanzhou.
Baili Wuji decided to reorganize the special operations army again, although the special operations army has always had a good record, but there are too many deviations from Baili Wuji's original assumption, the main problem is in the equipment and the corresponding commanders, after careful consideration, Baili Wuji intends to transfer a number of veterans in Xu Shouren's special operations army, about 3,000 people. Then 1,000 military students were selected from the Erudite Academy and the Jinling Academy, and 4,000 were selected from the 50,000 recruits in Jinling to form a new army of 8,000.
Baili Wuji's idea is to create a real special operations force, mainly used for assassination, raids, reconnaissance missions, due to the lack of corresponding generals in this era, so Baili Wuji intends to personally train, deficiencies, and then in the future actual combat tempering, to improve.
Baili Wuji entrusted all internal affairs to Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao, Xu Shiming was responsible for the finance and taxation of the Ming State, Sun Guangxian was responsible for official personnel, and Feng Dao was responsible for picking up omissions.
Baili Wuji between Jinling Mansion and Jiangdu Mansion, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, specially selected a piece of land, built a military camp that can accommodate 10,000 people, according to Baili Wuji's idea, there are special bow and crossbow training grounds, musket shooting ranges, artillery shooting ranges, cavalry training grounds, blasting training grounds, as well as special siege training grounds, training poisoning, treatment of military medical centers, on the bank of the Yangtze River to set up a small boat training center, and so on.
As long as he can think of it, Baili Wuji spares no effort to set it up in the barracks.
And this military camp, Baili Wuji took a resounding name - Ming State Special Warfare Military Academy.
Since then, Baili Wuji has set a rule, all military students who have completed the study of erudition and Jinling Mansion must enter the military academy and choose the corresponding subjects for half a year of study, and then they can enter the forbidden army as adjutants at all levels below the command envoy.
……。
While Baili Wuji was busy training the new army, the Liao court was just as Baili Wuji expected, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
Liao Muzong Yelujing angrily ordered Yeluwan to be killed, but was stopped by the Liao ministers.
Yeluwan was indeed wronged, and at least half of the fault for the defeat of this war could not be attributed to him.
At the beginning, the Liao army successfully occupied Shengzhou, and the soldiers from Shengzhou went south in two ways. (To be continued......)
