Chapter 199: Litong County Father and Son Conversation Yang Daoliang led his division to attack
As mentioned last time, the eight major families entrenched in the west of the Great Desolate Ruins at this time did not have a clear understanding of the military movements of the Qianzhou Empire because they believed that they had an army of nearly 30 million. However, on the other hand, the Qianzhou Empire's army was all elite and strong, especially after the accumulation of these 3,000 years, the grain and grass hoarded in the western frontier of the Qianzhou Empire was enough to support the needs of the army for ten years, and they had a clear understanding of the military establishment, army mobilization, logistics and grain of the eight major families.
Today, as the emperor, Ji Li has reached the territory of Litong County, which is less than 8,000 miles away from the Wolf Pass, and the total population of this Litong County is 183,000 households. Although Litong County is located in an oasis in the great wilderness, the local people do not feel that there is any hardship for the country, and they work hard and complain, not only turning the barren Litong County into a land with abundant water and grass and dense forests, but also cultivating more than 6.8 million acres of fertile land. The local people have worked hard to make the local economy extraordinarily prosperous. However, in the hearts of the locals, they were able to live a prosperous and stable life, all thanks to the army guarding the border and the city defense, and it was they who did not hesitate to give everything to protect the lives of the people. Therefore, the young and middle-aged people in Litong County have all joined the military, and they are idle as soldiers and busy as farmers, and they are actually shouldering the heavy responsibility of reclamation and garrisoning. The Qianzhou Empire naturally took their efforts to heart, in addition to giving them preferential treatment in terms of taxes, but also taking great care of the children of the people in this county in terms of national policy.
Because in the Qianzhou Empire, whether it is the emperor or officials at all levels, they are absolutely not allowed to notify lower-level officials, so even if the current emperor Ji Li arrives in Litong County in person, he must also issue his own identity documents, otherwise he will not even be able to enter the city gate of Litong County.
At this moment, Ji Shizhong, the captain of the Litong battalion stationed in Litong County, is a member of the Ji clan, and his father, Bo Ji Wenli of Litong County, fought for the country for 175 years, and made great achievements in his life. And Ji Shizhong is Ji Wenli's only son, and he is also an old man. It stands to reason that Ji Wenli may have to love Ji Shizhong very much, but the fact is that Ji Shizhong has been in the military camp since he was a child, even if his brothers in the military camp know that he is the son of Litong County Uncle, but no one will deliberately flatter him because of this, and his boss will never show mercy to his subordinates. This is the folk and military style of the Qianzhou Empire. Even if it is the emperor's son, when he enters the barracks, he should follow the rules of the barracks. If you sacrifice, you can also become a martyr and be buried in the Loyal Martyrs' National Shrine.
Therefore, since he was awarded the title of Earl of Litong County, Boji Wenli of Litong County has always felt that he does not deserve this title. Many of his own clansmen sacrificed themselves on the battlefield for the sake of the country, and when they sacrificed, they never thought of asking for a knighthood from the country. Therefore, he directly used his own money to establish a academy called Litong Academy for Litong County, and at the same time, he also divided the 1,000 acres of fertile land given to him by the state into academies and used them as land for academies. As for him, the general who has already become a general, he is the head of the Litong Academy, and his whole family lives in the Litong Academy, teaching and teaching the students when the farm is not working, and going to the field to plow when the farm is busy. His old wife was also engaged in farming, spinning and weaving. As a county magistrate of Litong, he didn't have the slightest appearance of a royal child and an earl.
And his son, Ji Shizhong, the captain of the Litong Battalion, also did not look like a count's son. At this time, he was leading 30 personal soldiers to help the students of Litong Academy, harvesting wheat in the golden wheat waves.
No, when Ji Shizhong was harvesting wheat, he found his father, and he hurriedly carried a bundle of wheat off his father's shoulder, and said to his father: "Dad, let me come!"
Ji Wenli was very happy when he heard his son's voice, but he pointed to the five bundles of wheat beside him and said to Ji Shizhong: "Shizhong! You can carry those five bundles of wheat on your back! Your father and I don't accept the old age! After so many years of fighting, my father still feels that ah! To be able to harvest a large bundle of wheat like this in this autumn is even happier than winning a battle. ”
"Okay! Daddy. Ji Shizhong was also unequivocal, and directly took the thick bundle of wheat from his father's back, and walked towards the wheat stack together with the five bundles of wheat on the ground.
And Ji Wenli followed his son, looked at his son's sturdy body, and thought about his son's great military exploits, and couldn't help but feel that his only son was really better than the blue!
On the way to the wheat stack with the wheat on his back, Ji Shizhong asked his father: "Daddy, do you know? Your Majesty, who has just ascended the throne, has issued an order to completely annihilate the eight major families that have invaded my western frontier. I don't know, when will the Litong battalion led by my son be able to receive the order to transfer?"
"What's the matter? Shizhong, when you hear about the battle, your heart is itching! Don't worry, you fought some of the battles. You just need to wait quietly, after all, there are nearly 30 million people in the Eight Great Families, and the force we are ready to mobilize is only 9 million. Although all of our troops are elite generals, the enemy is not a soft egg. Nowadays, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and if we want to deal with the enemy, we must realize a strategic surprise attack, take a lightning attack, capture the thief first, capture the king first, and the tiger will dig out the heart, completely plunge the enemy into chaos, and then take it in chaos. Therefore, the 30,000 soldiers of the Litong Battalion under your command must be on board. Ji Wenli explained.
"Daddy, this time our harvest in Litong County is good, I asked the soldiers under my command to help the local people harvest crops, the people's harvest this time except for part of the rent paid to the government, most of them are collected by themselves, and now the granaries are full, the people are very happy!" Ji Shizhong said.
"Yes, I really hope that our days in the Qianzhou Empire can be lived peacefully. It's just that it's a luxury. Now, there are too many enemies staring at our Qianzhou Empire, and we have to add the admonition of the Ancestral God. It's really troublesome after this!" Ji Wenli sighed with emotion. Today, the entire Qianzhou Empire has long been rid of illiteracy and discrimination against women, and has also implemented the iron law to protect the majority of women, during this period, the emperor abolished the harem system, and the majority of officials and people also implemented monogamy. In the compulsory education of the empire, it is clearly stipulated that the admonition of the ancestral god must always be engraved in the textbook, so everyone in the Qianzhou Empire knows that the bloodthirsty ghost clan will inevitably invade.
Listening to his father's incomprehension, in fact, Ji Shizhong was also very puzzled, he really didn't know, his country never thought of invading those forces adjacent to the borders of his country, but these forces tried their best to wage war against the Qianzhou Empire, and always wanted to strip a piece of meat from the Qianzhou Empire. Among these large and small forces, there are countries, families, sects, and gangs, which are simply diverse. In fact, for the past 3,000 years, the Qianzhou Empire has been trying its best to restore its former territory. Today, the areas that the Qianzhou Empire has not recovered include: the southern half of Western Qianzhou, the eastern and southern areas of Juntianzhou, the area east of Chengtianshan and Zhongtianzhou in Chengtianzhou, and of course most of the islands in the Western Wilderness Sea and Qiankun Sea.
In fact, because the Qianzhou Empire had detailed information, they knew very well that the Yunxuan battle armor of the Eight Great Families and a large number of excellent weapons were purchased from the Qianyuan Kingdom, which had just formed its embryonic form, by crossing the Western Wilderness Sea, which showed that the Eight Great Families had a well-equipped naval division. Naturally, in order to completely cut off the retreat of the eight major families, the Qianzhou Empire had already trained a powerful sailor on Donggao Island and Xigao Island in the north. This time, Ji Li dispatched, first mobilized sailors, and seized Qingyu Island, which is located in the northwest of Xihuangzhou, and on Broken Star Island, which is less than 500 miles away, a straw bag surnamed Wei Mingmang of the Eight Great Families, did not even notice that Qingyu Island, its right gate, had been captured by the sailors of the Qianzhou Empire.
Now, this Wei Mang is still immersed in wine-colored dogs and horses, and he has no idea that Yang Daoliang, the commander of the Qianzhou Empire's naval division, has taken the lead, with three thousand soldiers who are proficient in water, halfway through the warship of the army, they all jumped into the water and dived to Shattered Star Island.
When Yang Daoliang led his army, he sneaked to a small castle built by the enemy army in the northeast of Shattered Star Island with 300 people. He quietly led his army, dealt with all the enemies stationed in the small castle, and captured the bridgehead once and for all.
Until the fog cleared, when Wei Mang learned that the sailors led by Yang Daoliang had occupied most of the Shattered Star Island, it was too late, and finally the 300,000 troops under his command were killed by most of the 100,000 sailors led by Yang Daoliang. And with the fall of Shattered Star Island into the hands of the Qianzhou Empire, King's Landing Island, which stored a large amount of gold and silver treasures looted by the eight major families and a large number of slaves looted from other places, was already in danger. In fact, because the Eight Great Families could not rob the Qianzhou Empire, they had been robbing the islanders on many islands scattered in the Qianyuan Sea, although the Qianyuan Kingdom at this time had always coveted these islands rich in products, just from the fact that he named this sea in the east of his country after his own country, it can be seen that their ambition can be seen. It's a pity that the Helian family, which established the Qianyuan Kingdom, and the eighteen tribes that supported its founding are familiar with land warfare, but they can't be familiar with naval warfare, and even if the Qianyuan Kingdom has been established for so long, it still hasn't established a powerful naval division. And the powerful sailors of the eight major families made Qianyuanguo feel a kind of hope. Therefore, the Qianyuan Kingdom will support the Eight Great Families so much.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
