Chapter 221: The cavalry is out of the fortress, on the eve of the founding of the country
Half of the officials were able to stay in their original positions, the alternate officials from the Governor's Office were able to take control of one county and five counties, and the other 21 officials with family backgrounds at all levels needed to study at the Anbei Governor's Government School.
The end of the county dynasty and the earthquake in the political arena never expected this to be the result.
The two families of Ning and Wang, who were the most powerful and could even control the border army, as well as the six county tyrants who tried to speak out with the same qi, were ordered to go to Baishazhou to open up the wasteland together.
Half of Longbei City was empty, and after the order was issued, a large number of clansmen had to go there in advance, so as not to have a place for the main family to settle in the past.
The entire border city and county ushered in a power reshuffle, and the high-level county government, except for the officials sent by the Governor's Office, only Zhu Weng was the local representative.
However, if you say that Zhou Bai unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, it would not be enough to deceive people into surrendering, after all, the political status that should be given is given.
The Ning family even produced a Ning Zhuo, who became the county leader of Bei'an County, and applied what he learned in the most prosperous and safest area.
Confiscate most of the clan's property and move the clan to the tuntian, not to exterminate the clan, who makes them insatiable.
Originally, according to the foundation of these families in the border cities and counties, public opinion should be biased in favor of them.
However, when the county government announced that the confiscated money and grain could fill the treasury sufficiently, the people were in an uproar and expressed their support for the relocation order.
In the famine years, there was still so much food in stock, and even one percent of it was not used for disaster relief, but continued to plunder.
Now that the Governor's Office has taken over the border cities and counties, all the grain is used for people's livelihood, and even if the autumn harvest is reduced, there will be no more famine.
The army was reorganized, the militia was formed, the government decrees were propagated, the canals were dredged, and the Taoist regiment inspected the counties......
A series of combination punches were brought down, and the instability of the border city county had to be stabilized.
And just when Zhou Bai unified the three northern counties of Dingzhou, the third wave of invading warships in the Qingxu Realm was basically cleared, and even Xuzhou was recovered by the Daxu Imperial Court.
Several new armies showed strong combat power, and several Yang God True Monarchs of the Royal Worship Regiment went out, and for a while, the world's feudal towns were shocked.
Suddenly, I almost saw a little shadow of Daxu Zhongxing, but immediately after the establishment of independent countries in various places, it was to tell the world that this was just afterglow.
At this time, Lu Ding still did not look back, Yongquan County was supported by the Ningjiang Water Division, and he couldn't attack it for a long time, so he couldn't take care of the border city county at all.
At most, it is to prevent the Anbei Army from going south, outside the gate, a large number of sentinels appeared, Pinghe County received part of the military reinforcements, and the border was under martial law.
On September 4, the Daxu Imperial Court took advantage of the prestige of Xuzhou's "military exercise" to issue a decree on the closure of the country.
The 48 prefectures and small feudal towns in Daxu were divided in turn.
The first batch is the Central Domain, except for Zhongzhou, Luozhou, and Bianzhou, which did not have feudal states, and the remaining twelve states were divided into four major marquis, seven great states, and thirty-one viscount states and baronial states.
These feudal towns were the most influenced by the imperial court, and most of them were controlled by the imperial family or foreign relatives, and all of them accepted the holy decree of the feudal decree.
Since then, under the leadership of the four major princes, half of the feudal states have successively held a ceremony to recognize the sect, recognizing the Daxu court as the suzerain, and the Daxu court has the corresponding power of the suzerain.
Such as enthronement of the lord of the country, mediation of wars, acceptance of offerings, and so on.
At this point, the Daxu Imperial Court's policy of "sealing the princes to respect Zhengshuo" has actually completed a key step.
The Middle Domain, the ancient Central Plains, is also the Central Plains region in the narrow sense of the Tianyuan Continent, and now more than half of the countries recognize it as the suzerain, and the foundation is there.
However, at this time, Zhou Bai didn't care about the major forces outside, because of the accelerated annexation of the beginning of the feudal order, he had already led the army out of the fortress.
The Daxu Imperial Court is sealed in batches, the end of the Central Domain, and it must be too early for Dingzhou's turn.
It was Zhou Bai who explained to Chen Zhongbang and prepared for the founding of the country, and he went out of the Great Wall.
Of course, there were 2,500 cavalry with him, and another 3,000 demon troops hanging behind, he was not to enjoy the scenery of the grassland, but to promote martial arts!
Two thousand five hundred horsemen, including two teams of two hundred cavalry, some of which were captured, and some of which were transported by Hu Jiang, the cavalry general of the state army.
It is also Hujiang that can have more than a dozen uncastrated horses in the pastures of the Anbei Governor's Mansion, which can be used for breeding.
Hu Jiang had too many movements, and he couldn't get along in the state army, so Zhou Bai was appointed as the captain of the Jiaocai Academy.
With two hundred Jiao cavalry as the core, the dragon Jiao iron cavalry was formed, which had a special status in the horse army and belonged to the direct command of Zhou Bai.
Now that the Ma army command is vacant, Chu Kai, the deputy commander, must get an independent tiger talisman if he wants to mobilize Jiaoqi.
Three hundred miles ahead, looking at the vast grassland, Zhou Bai sighed with emotion: "The country of Daxu has been declining for a hundred years, and the cavalry of our Xia people has not been out of the fortress for a hundred years, so let's set foot in this vast grassland." ”
A dark-skinned armorless young man showed off a wave of riding skills on horseback, and stopped abruptly next to Zhou Bai: "Dudu, I don't know anything else, I only know that after the construction of the Great Wall, the southern invasion of the grassland people became more and more rampant." ”
"My grandfather's generation often said how fresh the cattle and sheep were on the grassland, and my father could only complain about how upset the horses' hooves were on the grassland. Every autumn when the horses are fat, they must stay away from the gaps in the Great Wall, and at any time the cavalry of the major tribes will rush into the Seyne. ”
Zhou Bai's hand holding the reins tightened, looked at the young guide and said: "Therefore, the attack is the best Great Wall, this year's drought and famine, the grassland winter is even more difficult, it is better to strike first." ”
"It is better for the enemy to die than for my people to die."
"Am I right, Flying Light?"
The full name of the young man known as Feiguang is Huo Feiguang, he is only seventeen years old, and his riding skills are the best in the border city.
He liked to ride the wild horses he caught and go out to hunt, and he never thought that the grasslands were only owned by the Jin, Xianbei, or those nomads.
Two years ago, because he escaped the detection of the Jin people's sentinels, the defenders of the Great Wall were allowed to prepare in advance to the direction of the Jin people's main attack and plug the gap in disrepair.
Huo Feiguang was so impressed that he said excitedly: "That's it, Dudu, you are the hero of the Tianxia people." ”
"Lead the way, these tribes near the Great Wall will either surrender and sacrifice war horses, cattle and sheep, or exterminate the tribes." Zhou Bai smiled slightly, and then said coldly.
Huo Feiguang nodded, with murderous intent in his clear eyes: "Within a radius of five hundred miles, there are three tribes with more than 5,000 people, they have all moved over in recent years, and they are also the tribes that like to invade the south the most......"
In the next half month, the iron hooves of the Anbei Army trampled thousands of miles outside the Great Wall, and its prestige resounded throughout the grassland.
All the way to the north, several tribes were slaughtered, and nearly 10,000 herdsmen were recruited.
On September 21, Zhou Bai broke through the weak blockade line of the Northern Jin Kingdom and drove straight to Yinshan, the holy land of the Jin Kingdom, 300 miles away.
If nothing else, just to exchange for another batch of war horses, galloping in the north, it is really difficult to act without enough cavalry.
Yin Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, long-term weathering and erosion, the peaks gradually become wavy, low peaks connect the undulating peaks, forming a rocky mountain like layers of texture, very majestic.
Zhou Bai stood in place and looked into the distance, quite emotional, no wonder it was the holy land of Jinguo.
On the endless prairie where there is no danger to defend, Yinshan is the center of civilization, and everything can be started from scratch based on this.
On the steep and sharp abrupt peak, the ancestral temple of the Jin Kingdom is located, where you can overlook the boundless grassland and embrace the land of the Jin Kingdom into your arms.
Whoever can occupy the ancestral temple in the Northern Jin Kingdom and the Southern Jin Kingdom will have legal orthodoxy and can win the hearts of the people.
In terms of military affairs, occupying the commanding heights and sending two shamans to keep an eye on it, all the enemy's deployments in Yinshan are in vain.
Zhou Bai dared to go deep alone, because now the main forces of the two Jin Kingdoms are piled up near the ancestral temple.
Just looking at the red clouds, you know that now Yinshan has been grinding for flesh and blood, and a large number of lives are lost every day.
Chu Kai saw Zhou Bai looking at Yin Mountain and pondering, and reminded in a low voice: "Dudu, the Demon Suppression Army is left outside the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom and cannot advance any further. ”
Li Yuan took the Taoist group to fly far away to be vigilant, wait and see the abnormal military spirit, don't be made dumplings. The rest of the people repaired in their place, and so on, that he had to come to him. Zhou Bai's expression couldn't show joy and anger, and he suddenly ordered.
Immediately, streamers flew out of the four fields, and their realms were all two realms.
The aura was revived, the three counties were annexed, and the Taoist group was vigorously expanded.
The monks of the Second Realm are no longer as scarce as before, they are only enough to sit in the counties, and now it is common for them to go out with the army.
Ever since he learned that Hu Yanhe had gained the upper hand over the Northern Jin Kingdom and was steadily advancing in Yinshan, Zhou Bai thought about when to knock on it.
Now that he occupies the border city, the grassland is well-informed, and just when he learned that the Yinshan War was at its most anxious, he unceremoniously sent a message to Huyanhe, asking for 5,000 sturdy war horses.
If it was not given, the Anbei army cut off the north-south trade route and sent troops to help the Northern Jin Kingdom.
Of course, in order to prevent Hu Yanhe from breaking the jar, Zhou Bai still gave the corresponding reward, five thousand taels of gold, and one thousand low-grade spirit stones.
To a certain extent, it is an equivalent exchange, but it is difficult to have a seller to buy war horses in such a large quantity.
After a full day, Zhou Bai finally waited for the goods he wanted.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking the grassland, and Chu Kai ordered the whole army to be on alert and put on his horse in armor.
The impact of 5,000 war horses, no one dares to hard top.
Huyanhe's side actually just sent a thousand-man team to trade, and each knight rode one horse and followed with four horses, showing amazing riding skills.
"The head of your family doesn't give you a chance to catch up." Zhou Bai smiled, as if he really had some regretful emotions in his words.
This Hu Yanhe is sure that Zhou Bai will not dare to eat black, if you dare to eat, he will dare to ignore the family business, and pour out of the nest to destroy you in the grassland first.
The leading commander said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The war in the ancestral temple is fierce, and the lord of my family does not dare to leave without permission, so he sent the last general to come to the transaction and ask the governor to send someone to count." ”
Zhou Bai threw over a storage bag and let the shaman next to him inspect it.
After that, the horses are counted and their health is checked......
The transaction was very smooth, but it was just a matter of paying gold and spirit stones, and he "earned" 5,000 war horses.
Everyone in Dingzhou knows that on the eve of the founding of the country, Zhou Bai, the governor of Anbei, led the cavalry out of the fortress and drove back countless cattle, sheep and horses, so that the grassland tribes did not dare to look south this year......
