Prologue
In November of 2o2 BC, the Great Qin Empire achieved the final results in the Third Eastern Crusade. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.
The remnants of the resistance of Qi and Chu were basically wiped out. Although there are many remnants of the Six Kingdoms in secret, after this period of time, I am afraid that these people will not be able to get the opportunity for the Great Qin Empire to reappear in the chaotic times after the death of the First Emperor and swarm the crowd.
Many of them may hope that Zhang Jiashi, the regent who will once again rule the world as the Great Qin Empire and return the people of the world to the world, will die violently one day like the First Emperor, and then Ying Xun, as the emperor, will be unable to grasp the legacy left by Zhang Jiashi, and the Great Qin Empire will be separated and collapsed again, this is their opportunity.
It's a pity that they didn't wait for such an opportunity before Zhang Jiashi died of illness decades later, and since Zhang Jiashi was in charge of Yingxun's pro-government, they gradually faded out of the direction of the country, but basically used the position of Taiwei to be responsible for the affairs of Emperor Qin.
The relationship between Zhang Jiashi and Ying Xun, which they were hoping for later, did not appear because of the disagreement of authority. They overestimated Zhang Jiashi's ambition, and also underestimated Zhang Jiashi's calm and indifferent mentality.
After Ying Xun was crowned pro-government, Zhang Jiashi basically handed over all government affairs to Ying Xun.
For a period of time before this, Zhang Jiashi had gradually grown up according to Yingxun's age, and accordingly let Yingxun deal with some simple government policies. This made many people quite stunned. Even Ying Xun himself didn't want his father to let him deal with more and more things at such a time.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiashi's heart is like this, if it is not really a matter of some major directions, Zhang Jiashi's bottom line is basically not too involved in government affairs and personnel matters.
Because he knows very well that since he doesn't like to do too many things, and in Zhang Jiashi's heart, although the troubled times of the Great Qin Empire were pacified by the Liaodong military system he created for and the military organization of the Great Qin Empire at that time, Ying Xun is the designated successor of Ying Zheng, and his son is the third emperor of the Great Qin Empire.
And Zhang Jiashi didn't want his son to let him enter the temple of the Great Qin Empire as an emperor. But it backfired, shortly after Zhang Jiashi's death, Ying Xun presided over Zhang Jiashi's funeral at the same time, and personally issued an edict to let Zhang Jiashi enjoy the Taimiao as the king of Dingwu, and inherit the sacrificial method of the same line.
And because Ying Xun has actually broken away from the Zhang family in Wanxian County and naturalized with the surname Zhao, after a period of time, Zhang Jiashi's eldest grandson, Emperor Jing of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Qi, ordered his uncle, Zhang Jiashi and Ying Yuexi's second son Zhang Heng as the sect.
This move made the ministers a little stunned, because the Zongzheng of the Great Qin Empire was generally only able to serve as a clan with the surname Zhao.
The current Zongzheng is the great-grandson of Qin Xiaowen Wang Yingzhu, who is now seventy-three years old Yingmeng.
But after the ministers knew that this itself originated from Ying Meng's resignation because he was too old, not that Ying Qi was dissatisfied with this sect that had served as the head of the sect for thirty years, they quickly accepted this arrangement.
And the Emperor Yingxun, who abdicated the throne and won Qi, showed a smile after knowing the appointment of his son.
Because there is not necessarily anything wrong with this arrangement, because his younger brother is also a suitable candidate to serve as Zongzheng from the perspective of kinship, not to mention that Zhang Heng's prestige is also very high, which is enough to suppress the entire clan surnamed Zhao.
Of course, Zhang Heng still has some shortcomings, that is, as an important member of the Zhang family in Nanyang, as a clan, there is indeed a sense of magpie's nest dove, but don't forget that although Ying Qi is also a member of the winning surname Zhao, but the fundamental reason for this situation, but Zhang Jiashi, of course, because of the edict of the first emperor, will let him, the third emperor, inherit the line of the Zhao family and inherit the throne.
Therefore, out of Yingxun's own considerations, he did not object to his son's arrangement.
And with Zhang Heng, who is almost fifty years old this year, as the head of the sect, it can be said that the clan relatives of the Great Qin Empire will not have too many opinions, or that there is no one who can compete with Zhang Heng in terms of kinship with Ying Qi and him.
Because the bloodline of Qin Zhuang Xiangwang Yingzi Chu has actually been cut off, in addition to his two cousins, there are several concubines of Zhang Jiashi, such as Zhang Heng, Zhang Xuan and other brothers and sisters are close to him.
The head of the Zhang family at that time was Ying Qi's cousin Zhang Mao, and his father officially retired from the background after Ying Xun Xun was in Ying Qi.
Therefore, apart from Zhang Heng, there is really no more suitable candidate.
And Ying Xun and Ying Qi, and even Zhang Heng, who is now serving as the county guard of Nanyang County in Wan County, did not expect that in the more than 50 years after Zhang Heng's death, there would be an important descendant of the Zhang family in Wan County to serve as Zongzheng.
Until 67 BC, when Emperor Qin Zhao Yingfu appointed his uncle Yingjian as Zongzheng after the death of Zhang Li, the then Zongzheng, he was regarded as the candidate for the post of Zongzheng to return to the "right path" again.
......
Zhang Jiashi naturally didn't know about this kind of long span.
For Zhang Jiashi, although these remnants of the Six Kingdoms are very hateful, he really doesn't have time to play with these people slowly at the moment, or rather, compared to these little shrimps, Zhang Jiashi has to focus on the frontier.
After all, things are prioritized, and Zhang Jiashi is no exception.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
According to Zhang Jiashi's conception during the Eastern Crusade, on the basis of completing the pacification of the world, the Great Qin Empire will adjust its military focus to the counties along the Great Wall and the northern frontier counties of the Great Qin Empire.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi really didn't expect that this cold weather that came ahead of schedule not only made the Xiongnu postpone the follow-up battle plan for the destruction of Donghu, but also made the Huns pay a very heavy price by the way, and even hindered Zhang Jiashi's deployment plan in a large way.
There is no problem with the situation of the infantry, and according to the notes transferred from various places, even if the Qin troops have only arrived along the Yellow River now, it will not be a big problem for them to arrive in the corresponding area before January next year.
However, the troops from the south, because the situation of water and soil adaptation was becoming more and more serious, Zhang Jiashi could only let them garrison south of the Yellow River, and then transfer the county troops from the corresponding counties south of the Yellow River to continue north.
The heavier and heavier snow and the lower and lower temperatures have made the march of many troops moving north slower and slower, and if it weren't for the fact that the Great Qin Empire itself has a few galloping roads to the north, it is estimated that the march of these troops will be even slower, or even stagnant.
This change in mobilization has indeed caused a lot of confusion in the mobilized troops, but it is undeniable that Zhang Jiashi is really not much of the troops that can be mobilized at the moment, and if these officers and soldiers who mainly come from the counties along the river continue to go north, it is really a question whether these people can adapt to it, let alone let the other party fight the Huns.
If these officers and soldiers really have problems, this situation is not a fun thing.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi could only let these southern troops break up their own establishment again, and then mix with some officers and soldiers of the local counties and counties who remained in the same place, so as to maintain the law and order management in the corresponding areas or other tasks.
And there is another problem with these transferred infantry units, that is, the equipment level of these troops is far less good than that of several main corps under Zhang Jiashi, and even some recruits can't even arrange a cowhide armor.
This situation made Zhang Jiashi very helpless, but this is not a problem that can be solved in a while, after all, the production capacity of the Great Qin Empire's military organization is so much, even if Zhang Jiashi doesn't mind paying more money to let them work overtime, the increased production capacity is not able to meet the corresponding needs in the short term.
Moreover, because of the impact of the war, many equipment or armor equipment had to be replaced and recovered from the front-line troops.
Therefore, a considerable part of Zhang Jiashi's troop mobilization in this regard is also constrained by equipment.
Compared with the counties and counties in the river area, the equipment of the county soldiers in the river area is much better, and the equipment penetration rate of the county soldiers in the county army units, which are mostly new soldiers, is much better than that of the southern officers and men who are not accustomed to the water and soil in terms of adaptability. Under such a premise, the county soldier system under Zhang Jiashi had to be adjusted in terms of mobilization.
Because it was impossible for Zhang Jiashi to move all his main corps to the north.
......
Compared with the problems of infantry, the impact of the knights and crossbow chariots is much more serious.
Because of the severe cold and heavy snowfall, the loss of horse farms and even active military horses in many places has gradually increased.
Zhang Jiashi had a headache in this regard, and he received a lot of reports about the severe wear and tear of livestock and mounts caused by bad weather.
Although the current Great Qin Empire already has a set of more urgent, but it can be regarded as an effective corresponding cold shelter plan, even in Jiuyuan County or even Yunzhong County, many places have built a lot of simple houses to store military horses and livestock.
It can be said that in many places, these livestock live better than people. Because they are also cared for by a special person.
Zhang Jiashi was a little speechless about this situation, but in such a situation, Zhang Jiashi really had to order to make corresponding arrangements.
However, it has become more and more difficult to maintain the existing number of military horses, let alone make up for the corresponding losses of these military horses, and the Great Qin Empire really has no good way at the moment.
Even if Zhang Jiashi wanted to replenish, he had to worry about whether these military horses could go to the army camps that needed to be replenished from various horse farms alive.
It can be said that Zhang Jiashi was indeed half killed by the increasingly bad weather in this regard.
Zhang Jiashi's original plan was to deploy several highly mobile troops in the corresponding area for quick reaction to deal with the possible offensive of the Huns.
But from such a weather point of view, Zhang Jiashi's plan is also very simple.
Zhang Jiashi did not completely abandon this plan, and he also adjusted the integration location of these troops.
Based on a few small horse farms in the southern Huaishui region where the weather was relatively mild, Zhang Jiashi had Yingbu stationed there, and then integrated the knights and chariot units of the prisoner army to train and rest accordingly as a mobile force.
And this situation also applies in other directions. For example, several small horse farms located in Nanjun and south of the Qinling Mountains were appointed by Zhang Jiashi to Li Shang and Su Teng for corresponding training and adjustment.
The total strength of the three Qin army's rapid reaction forces was about 60,000, with an average of 20,000 troops each, but this number was far from Zhang Jiashi's original expectation of more than 100,000 troops, and at least the number of troops that could be deployed in five key areas.
On the basis of this helpless reality, Zhang Jiashi could only hook up the corresponding configuration plans configured in Liaoning County, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan County.
As for the corresponding configuration plans of Jinbei County, Yan County and Shang County, Zhang Jiashi did not modify it. Because if there is no such force in these three places, if there is really a problem, the consequences will be very serious, and Zhang Jiashi does not want to cause many problems to appear in front of him in the form of a domino effect because of this consequence.
If there is no such fast force to play its own corresponding role in the dangerous moment, then once the defense line of the Great Wall in the three places is breached, in 2o9 BC the northern Great Wall of Yuyang County was breached, the county guard Wei was killed in battle, the Donghu people plundered the population, and the tragedy of turning cities and villages into ruins would appear again.
And the worse place is not this, because the distance between the north and south of the three counties is too far, once the defense line of the Great Wall in the north is really lost, I am afraid that the county soldiers who are mainly stationed in the southern region have not been able to effectively intercept the way, and they will face another attack by the Huns who are going south.
This situation is really not what Zhang Jiashi wants to see. So this is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi did not revise the corresponding plan in the end.
......
Of course, before the arrival of New Year's Day in 2o1 BC, Zhang Jiashi was not without good news that made him feel comfortable, that is, the Donghu people agreed to the plan of alliance with the Great Qin Empire.
In alliance with the Donghu people, the Great Qin Empire did not have actual benefits, on the contrary, in order to help the Donghu people, the Great Qin Empire had to spend a lot.
But Zhang Jiashi didn't think this was a failure, because with this kind of expenditure, even if the Donghu people didn't save them when they saw death, they could contain a considerable part of the Huns' forces and reduce the defensive pressure of the Great Qin Empire itself.
In this case, Zhang Jiashi knew that although he had lost a lot, if the Great Qin Empire couldn't even pass this "level", would it make sense to save more things?
