Chapter 51: Fu Kuan and Jin She

Although the cavalry units of Liaoning County and Shang County were not large in number, because they had advantages in many aspects, the overall combat effectiveness of their cavalry units was stronger than that of the Qin army and county soldiers in the interior.

Of course, these inland county cavalry units are not included in the cavalry units of the most elite Central Legion in the Great Qin Empire.
As for why there is such a gap, it is mainly because the composition of the knight troops under the command of Su Jiao and Yu Jian is more inclined to Zhang Jiashi's construction ideas.
In the past few years, as the rear of Zhang Jiashi to recover the lost territory of the Great Qin Empire and pacify the world, in many ways, Liaoning County and Shang County, as strong counties, naturally have to contribute in many aspects and supply most of the relevant materials.
Of course, the pressure on Liaoning County and Shang County in this regard has been greatly reduced after Zhang Jiashi gradually restored the corresponding situation in the Guanzhong area.
However, Liaoning County and Shang County still need to maintain their own consumption and supply the military and political systems of Yan County and Zhao County.
In such a situation, the situation in Shang County and Liaoning County can be regarded as an iron-clad battalion and a flowing soldier.
Many Qin officers and soldiers in the two counties often needed to be supported by troops in other regions as a supplement for battle losses.
In addition, because of the long battle of the Third Eastern Crusade a year ago, the officers and soldiers of Liaoning County and Shang County who were transferred to Qidi also suffered heavy casualties.
Under such a premise, Su Jiao and Yujian could only once again organize a force that was more in line with the cavalry system conceived by Zhang Jiashi.
This is not to say that Zhang Jiashi's idea did not receive the support of many people, but that a unit that has become accustomed to the original combat style wants to carry out the transformation of another system and carry out corresponding training in a short period of time, which is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.
There is a saying that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and Zhang Jiashi did not force too much in this regard, because he himself knows one thing very well, that is, some things are really difficult to rush.
Therefore, such as this kind of combat training of mounted infantry and related changes in combat style, Zhang Jiashi did not make it mandatory.
Again. Those newly formed real assault knight units also made Zhang Jiashi unable to add more attention to other troops for a while.
This point has also become an embarrassing position in some aspects of the cavalry unit conceived by Zhang Jiashi.
Zhang Jiashi himself did not really put too much energy into these cavalry, because this kind of cavalry unit is more of a transitional cavalry unit, and its combat effectiveness is difficult to compare with those new assault knights in the absence of some major components. The cost is also quite large.
It is because of this that even the new Great Qin Empire's Northern Legion system concentrates the main cavalry force of the Great Qin Empire. The number of assault cavalry units of such a transitional nature was also not too much.
If we are to have a certain number of people, that is, the four regions of Shang County, Liaoning County, Jinbei County and Longxi County each have a number of knights, about 8,000 to 13,000 knights.
This is also something that cannot be helped, because although the Great Qin Empire once again commanded the world, but because of the prolonged war in the past few years, the loss of both personnel and horses is very serious.
The composition of the knight troops under Zhang Jiashi, or the source of the cavalry troops. Mainly from three aspects.
The first aspect naturally refers to the knight troops of the Qin army in the establishment of General Zuo under Zhang Jiashi.
If it weren't for the addition of other knights who were also in the Northern Frontier Legion, Zhang Jiashi's cavalry composition in this area would have existed in name only.
Such a situation. Zhang Jiashi was naturally able to make up for it in other ways.
This is also the origin of the other two aspects of cavalry.
The second aspect is some nomads or horseback riding professionals who are good at horseback riding.
The number of nomads in the territory of the Great Qin Empire is not large, but in the horse farm of the original Liaodong County, it is also the main gathering place of nomads in many cases. These nomads were mainly descendants of the Donghu tribe who were recovered by Qin Kai during the Yan period.
In the space of so many decades, these Donghu people had already been assimilated by the Yan State and the subsequent Great Qin Empire, which ruled the Liaodong region, except for a few customs. These Donghu descendants have long since given up their thinking as Donghu people, and instead see themselves as pure Qin people.
This is also an important reason why Zhang Jiashi officially chose these descendants of Donghu as a component of the cavalry unit supplement out of desperation after the Battle of the Great Wall.
As for the horseback riding profession of the latter, they are mainly from all over the Great Qin Empire.
Because these professionals were not concentrated in one area, in the past few years, the cavalry units of these riding professionals were formed more in a mixed manner with other knight units than in a centralized manner.
This, of course, weakens the corresponding combat superiority of professionals. However, it is undeniable that this has fundamentally improved the overall combat effectiveness of a knight army.
Because these horseback riding professionals are often directly awarded the corresponding military positions after passing the corresponding assessment, commanding a unit to fight.
Although it is relatively difficult for such a unit composition to coordinate with each other in terms of overall combat effectiveness, in a unit, such a practice has a morale bonus.
As the saying goes, if there is a soldier, there will be a nest of bears, which is such a truth.
As for the third type of cavalry unit, the source of construction is to draw infantry veterans from some units to train accordingly and then serve.
This situation can be said to be Zhang Jiashi's most helpless place, because if he didn't do this, with only the above two methods, at least two-thirds of the cavalry troops of the Great Qin Empire were in a state of insufficient soldiers, and even a framework could not be formed.
The war over the past few years has not only brought wounds that are difficult to repair in a short period of time, the loss of population and the embarrassing situation of being rebuilt, but also the serious damage of the invincible army of the original Great Qin Empire to unify the world.
According to the statistics of Zhang Cang and Xiao He, after the Battle of Julu in 208 BC, the main composition of those chaotic armies has included many Qin officers and soldiers who were originally captured, and even some rebellious troops, that is, the original county soldiers under the command of some counties.
This is one case. It is the most serious in Nan County, Sanchuan County to Qi County and other places.
The original county soldiers of the three counties, although it is said that they were also resolute in resisting the attacks of these rebels or rebels at the beginning. But after the Battle of Chengyang, the Qin army soldiers in Qi finally chose a path to give up resistance.
This can also be said to be the reason why Qi Di did not suffer too much military disaster at the beginning.
The county soldiers of Sanchuan County gradually rebelled from the Great Qin Empire after Li Youzhan died in Rongyang. It can be said that Lee is guarded by this county. is indeed an important figure who can influence this troubled world for hegemony.
If it weren't for Li You's death, I'm afraid of the situation of the Great Qin Empire in Sanchuan County. It doesn't get worse so quickly.
The situation in Nanjun is similar, because Nanjun is not the main direction of attack of several relatively powerful rebels. However, after the death of the defender of Nanjun, the situation in Nanjun County plummeted like that of Sanchuan County.
After Zhang Jiashi learned of such a situation, he said that he was very helpless, if it weren't for some reasons, Zhang Jiashi would not mind restoring the honorary status of some officials who had died for the Great Qin Empire.
But due to some considerations, Zhang Jiashi gave up this idea for the time being.
Because although the Great Qin Empire has once again pacified the troubled times, it is indeed not the right time to do these things.
In this regard. Zhang Jiashi already had a corresponding idea, that is, first posthumously conferred three people, including Li You, the county guard of Sanchuan County, Zheng Rou, the county guard of Nanjun, who was said to be Zheng Guo's nephew, and Chengyang County Commander, and gave them corresponding honors.
As for other people who do not have too much influence, it is only later that the corresponding honorary status of their corresponding status is slowly defined.
According to Zhang Jiashi's idea, the most suitable time for this situation was after the first defeat of the Hun invasion.
And for now. Everything had to be compromised for the Great Qin Empire against the invasion of the Huns.
After all, Zhang Jiashi knew that if he shared too much energy in other unimportant aspects, and some major problems occurred, he could say that there was no place to cry.
Dividing line
What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that he would actually be at such a time because of the relevant arrangements for the recruitment of personnel in his cavalry troops. Find a person who can be regarded as a heavy stroke in the history books.
And this person also had a certain holiday with Zhang Jiashi. Because he was a general under Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
This person is Jin She, the fierce general of the Han army who once followed Han Xin to defeat Long Ji in the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located.
Jin She, in the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, was named the Marquis of Xinwu by Liu Bang, and followed Pei Gong Liu Bang as an attendant official, and he raised troops from Wanqu. He once attacked Jiyang. Defeated the army of the Qin general Li You. He also attacked the Qin army in the south of Boxian County and the northeast of Kaifeng, and killed a commander of a thousand cavalry. Fifty-seven heads were captured, seventy-three people were captured, and he was given the title of Duke Pei and was named Linping Jun. Later, he fought in the north of Lantian, beheaded two Qin army chariot Simas and one cavalry commander, captured 28 heads, and captured 57 people. and led his army to the throne. At that time, Pei Gong was Liu Bang, and he was given the title of Marquis of Jin Jianwu, and he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of the Cavalry.
After Liu Bang sent troops to Guanzhong, Jin She's entourage Liu Bang pacified Sanqin. In addition, he led the troops to march west to attack the army of Qin General Zhang Ping in Longxi, defeated the Qin army, pacified the six counties of Longxi, and the soldiers he led killed four people each of the Qin army's Che Sima and Jun Hou, and twelve cavalry commanders. Subsequently, he followed Liu Bangdong to attack the Chu army and arrived at Pengcheng. As a result, the Han army was defeated, and Jin Shu defended Yongqiu, and then left Yongqiu to attack Wang Wu and others who rebelled against the Han. After seizing Liangdi, he led his troops to attack the army of Xing Shuo, a Chu general stationed in southern Jiangnan, defeated Xing Shuo, and personally captured Xing Shuo's two lieutenants, Sima and Jun Hou 12 people, and surrendered 4,180 enemy officers and soldiers. In addition, the Chu army was defeated in the east of Xingyang. Three years ago, in 204, Han Gaozu gave Jin She 4,200 households.
Jin She's military exploits are many, leading the troops to Hanoi, attacking the Zhao general Ben Hao stationed in Chaoge, defeating Ben Hao, the soldiers he led captured two cavalry generals alive, and captured 250 war horses. He followed Liu Bang to attack the area east of Anyang, as far as Jianpu, and took seven counties. He also led troops to defeat the Zhao army, captured the two Sima generals alive, waited for four soldiers, and surrendered 2,400 Zhao officers and soldiers. and followed Liu Bang to conquer Handan. He led his troops to take Pingyang alone, and personally killed the Zhao State Acting Xiangguo stationed in Pingyang, and the soldiers he led killed one county guard and one county guard with the army, forcing Ye to surrender. In this campaign, Liu Bang attacked Chaoge and Handan, and defeated the Zhao army, forcing the six counties of Handan County to surrender. After leading the army back to Aocang, he immediately defeated Xiang Yu's army in the south of Chenggao, destroying and cutting off the passage from Xingyang to Xiangyi to transport grain and wages. Under Lucheng, the champion team was defeated and seized a large area of land from Zhang, Tan, and Xiapi in the east to Qi and Zhuyi in the south. He defeated Xiang Han's army under Jiyang City. Then he waved his army back to attack Xiang Yu's troops under the city of Chenxian and defeated Xiang Yu. In addition, he also pacified Jiangling, recruited the Zhuguo, Da Sima and eight of his subordinates of the Linjiang King who were in Jiangling, personally captured the Linjiang King's Gongwei alive, and escorted him to Luoyang, so he pacified Nanjun.
After that, he followed Liu Bang to Chen County, arrested Han Xin, the king of Chu, who was plotting against him, and Liu Bang divided the talisman representing the voucher into two halves and handed it over to Jin She, so as to show his credit, so that his title would be passed down from generation to generation, and he was prescribed to eat 4,600 households, and he was called the Marquis of Xinwu.
In 199 BC, Jin She accompanied Liu Bang to attack the king of Dai as a cavalry captain, defeated the king Han Xin under Pingcheng, and then led his army back to Dongyuan. Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, and then led the troops of the princes and kings of Liang, Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Chu to attack Hou Chang, the prime minister of Chen Xuan, and defeated him greatly, so he forced Qu Shuncheng to surrender.
Later, he made great contributions to Liu Bang's attack on Dubu, and increased the number of food estates by 5,300 households. In several important battles, Jin Shu beheaded 90 enemies and captured 132 people; defeated the enemy 14 times, subdued 59 cities, pacified one county and one county, and 23 county seats; captured alive one prince and one prince and one Zhu state, and 39 officials of different ranks from 2,000 to 500 stones. Gao died five years later, and was called Suhou.
It can be said that among the generals under Liu Bang's personal entourage, Jin She's military exploits are very brilliant, and Fu Kuan, another general under Liu Bang, has also been highly praised by Sima Qian:
"Yangling Marquis Fu Kuan, Xinwu Marquis Jin She, are all high lords, from Gaozu Shandong, attacking the Xiangzhi, killing famous generals, breaking the army and surrendering the city to a dozen numbers, not suffering and humiliation, this is also God. Kuai Chenghou Zhou Wei is worried and upright, his body is not suspicious, he wants to do something, and he is not crying, and he is sad, which can be described as a gentleman. ”
It can be seen that whether it is Fu Kuan or Jin She, they can be regarded as famous generals who are valued in history books, but despised by future generations. To be continued.
