Chapter 304: Doing the right thing for heaven and hanging the people for sin
This wave of origin point is also Zhou Bai's biggest harvest, a thousand points.
Except for the 300 points that need to be deduced for emergencies, all 700 points are used to improve their own strength.
For example, if the Great Evolution of the Divine Soul is raised to the fifth layer, the spiritual void realm is complete, and the inside and outside are clear, and the soul can be said to be leakless under the Mahayana. Another example is the Five Thunder Tiangang Method, the Mixed Yuan Golden Bell Jar, which attacks and defends two small magical powers, are directly promoted through the Heavenly Book of Qi Luck and are promoted to the level of Dacheng Great Divine Powers.
Although he is in charge of luck and uses his luck to fight the enemy, he can't talk about the monk's divine channel method, who knows what kind of enemy situation he will face in the future.
The Heavenly Book of Qi Luck gradually regained its power, and the consumption of the Origin Point Improvement Exercise Skills became smaller and smaller, and it was not wasted to improve various means.
After some improvement and repair, the theory of the western expedition within the Xia Kingdom began to be put on the surface, and this time it was not Zhou Bai's will to implement, but the hundred officials below put it forward.
Isn't it natural for the country to be upgraded to a kingdom and unify the northern border, how can there be any reckless military force, which is completely different from the public opinion environment when the Hou State and the Duchy were in the past.
At that time, there were still many heavy-minded factions, thinking that it was for the sake of accumulating people's strength and stability, but now that it has become a kingdom, the people of the entire northern territory can belong to Daxia from a legal point of view.
It is good to cherish the people of Dingliang and Liangzhou, and if the people of other big states fail to take care of them in time, it will also be a dereliction of duty by the monarchs and ministers of Great Xia.
Zhou Bai had a plan, and he gladly adopted the advice of hundreds of officials and civil gentry, and a decree was issued, and the six ministries of the cabinet and the military immediately started running at high speed.
The general trend is beginning to form, or jumping in the abyss, there is no blame.
Next, follow the general trend, whether offensive or defensive, it should be logical.
……
As the weather gets cooler, the deeper the autumn becomes.
In addition to Xiyuan County, Dingzhou County and other core areas of the Xia country, major counties have also completed the autumn harvest and tax payment work, and the treasury is greatly full.
Among them, the achievements of the Baishazhou Special Economic Zone are the most prominent, and the achievements of grazing in Tuntian have begun to appear, and nearly one million stones of grain have been handed over to the imperial court this year, 100,000 stones of spiritual salt, 1,200 qualified war horses, and 30 Jiao horses.
In an ordinary small country, emptying the treasury is nothing more than that, which can be called the king's capital.
If Zhou Bai had started in the current Baishazhou, the unification of Dingzhou would probably have been two or three years earlier.
To achieve this achievement, the current town guard has merit, but the greatest credit is Yan Luo, who laid the foundation.
So Yan Luo was promoted in the past, and was transferred from the Cangbei County Guard to the Zhengsi Pin Dingzhou Grain Taiwan Transfer Envoy, and the new Cangbei County Code was served by the first secretary Lang Luoyan, saying that the henchmen trained by Queen Zhou Bai herself would all go to a high position.
Only one step away, Yan Luo, the former envoy of the Ruinan Festival, can become a purple-robed master, and it is possible for the six departments to even enter the cabinet directly.
And this day will not be far away, the post of Dingzhou grain station transfer envoy is a temporary dispatch, responsible for transporting Dingzhou baggage to supplement the front-line army.
Obviously, Great Xia is about to use troops abroad, and as long as the war is won, it is logical for Yan Luo to be promoted to the center.
This small personnel change is of great significance in the eyes of those who care.
King Xia was magnanimous and eclectic in employing people, even if he was a subordinate, he could get ahead in the new dynasty.
Speaking with facts and using "thousands of horses" to attack the heart, Qinzhou officials and local powerful forces should surrender as soon as possible, and the third-class treatment of the surrender decree has always been in effect.
On October 18, the ninth year of Tongzhi, the Great Xia Kingdom sent troops to attack the separatist forces in Qinzhou under the banner of "doing the right thing for heaven and hanging the people for the crime".
It is not arrogant and unambiguous to do the way for the heavens, but the name obtained by Zhou Bai by sacrificing heaven and earth, and the purple qi during the king's ceremony comes from the east, and the pleasure of heaven and earth is not a vision that monks can control.
As long as Xia Guo can reconcile yin and yang, and always be strong and progressive, and produce majestic luck as the cornerstone of human civilization, then the name of using the name of Heavenly Path will never be disqualified.
In addition, the crime of hanging the people is not arbitrary, Qinzhou, as one of the few "enclaves" that still belong to the rule of the Daxu Dynasty, has extremely serious local divisions, and there are dozens of warlords.
These separatist forces declared themselves vassals to Zhongzhou, just like the small princes defending the rule of the state government, withholding part of the taxes for their own use in peacetime, and sending troops to help the state government in wartime.
They and Qinzhou Mu Jingheng both need the title of Daxu to sit on the foundation, in order to achieve a tacit balance, and they have been fighting for more than ten years in troubled times.
Zhou Bai invaded Liangzhou, and Qinzhou sent 50,000 troops to try to take advantage, of which only 20,000 were state-level soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 were supported by local warlords.
The upper ruler has such a tacit understanding, and the people below have suffered a great crime, and if you dare to collect taxes, you dare to be an official and seven people, and I will dare to be an official and eight people.
Natural disasters, invasions from other states, and Qingxu catastrophes have greatly drained Qinzhou's vitality, and the displacement of the people and famine are more serious than those in Liangzhou.
According to intelligence estimates from various sources, the population of Qinzhou has grown from 15 million in the 46th year of Xiangxing to less than 10 million now.
Therefore, Zhou Bai led the Xia army to conquer Qinzhou in person, that is, the crime of hanging the people, and these warlord rulers such as Qinzhou Mu were the targets of requisition.
Huang Jingtong, a guard general who was familiar with the situation, was reused as the commander of the former army and attacked Qinzhou first.
Following the civil officials Luo Yan and others took the position of local officials, this is also the first time that a junior general has taken the position of commander in the front.
At the beginning, Zhou Bai invaded Xiyuan County in Liangzhou, but many people looked at it, and in order to prevent the interference of surrounding forces, he sent many generals to lead troops to attack and defend.
For example, Lou Jinpeng's Northern Expedition recovered Beiqu County and fought against the strong enemy of the Jin State; Li Dingguo attacked Nanfu and Changyan County; Zhou Ping's generals went south in many ways, and then destroyed Xinliang and unified the southern part of Liangzhou to achieve great achievements.
Now Lou Jinpeng has been promoted to the governor of the Chinese army, and Li Dingguo has been promoted to the governor of the rear army, comparable to the six Shangshu, and has become a veritable military representative.
The militia is increasing day by day, the system is becoming more and more perfect, and after the establishment of the local capital department yamen for control, the power of the military department is unprecedentedly expanded.
The Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces is responsible for the management of the armed forces, and the Military Department is responsible for the selection and appointment of officers and the transfer of troops on orders.
Lou Jinpeng was a handsome party early on, with profound qualifications, and his promotion to the central governor was beyond reproach.
Li Dingguo, a general from another world, has been fighting in the south and north since following the king, and has officially become the core of the military with the merit of destroying the two major counties, which is also reasonable.
The foundation of the Great Xia country is to embrace all rivers and rivers, be inclusive, and if you enter Xia, you will be Xia, and the same is true for people from other worlds.
But the promotions of Zhou Ping, Hong Anguo, Bao Cai and other generals made them rich, but they once made the soldiers guarding the Qinliang border red.
Zhou Pingfeng, who was once the same name as Huang Jing, was relocated to the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Hong Anguo, the former lieutenant of Longfeng County, was transferred to the Western Expedition Battalion sequence, which was originally only a five-rank army and did not have the right to command the army alone, but because of his bright performance in the Liangzhou Campaign, he was immediately promoted to the commander of the four-rank garrison army, which could command the garrison army of more than 10,000 people.
There is also a general in Fentie County, Liangzhou, Baocai District, who was only a battalion commander of 500 people before, because he followed Lou Jinpeng to capture Changyan and Nanfu County, and he became a guerrilla general from Wupin.
Although it is not as good as the titles that Huo Feiguang once obtained, such as Broken Capture and Prostitution Yao, he is also in the general sequence, commanding up to 5,000 troops, and has the power to fight alone.
This is only one step away from catching up with Huang Jingtong's original miscellaneous general, you must know that he joined the army as early as when he was in the Anbei Governor's Mansion, and belongs to the "old qualification" among young generals.
On the battlefield, the fortune of the fate is no longer fixed, and it is not uncommon to change the fortune with the aura of humane killing.
However, after the change of luck, it is still necessary to reward and promote the superiors, especially the Qianlong Chrysostom Yuyan is the most determined to change the style.
This is the value of military merit!
The merits of the two major merits of ascending first and beheading the generals allowed Zhou Bai to see them in the military newspaper, and the imperial court has always been rewarded for meritorious service.
Since guarding the border of Qinliang and Liang, there have been many frictions and battles, not to mention the hard work, the key is that it is difficult to see the credit.
Huang Jingtong only began to block the 50,000 Qin troops, and was promoted to the western lieutenant by the military department, and was a local town general of the fourth grade.
If you are an ordinary narrow-minded person, not to mention complaining in private, you will definitely write to the court, either to fight in Qinzhou, or to be transferred from your post.
However, Huang Jingtong did not, he not only resolved the dissatisfaction and resentment of the western major general, but also conscientiously guarded the border.
After nearly a year of garrisoning, he knew the details of the eastern border army in Qinzhou clearly, and there were dozens of pieces of information on the adoption of the imperial court alone.
……
The two countries are at war, of course, not condemned in writing, and they will attack when you are ready.
Huang Jingtong received a secret decree from Zhou Bai as soon as the Wang Dadian ended, appointing him as the commander of the front army of Qinzhou's expedition camp, changing the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the defenders of the four western counties to the front army, and attacking Qinzhou in the near future.
The real royal division was 100,000 Chinese troops, commanded by Zhou Bai himself, and on October 18, he set out from Longshouyuan.
Counting the 50,000 troops in the front army, there are only 150,000 soldiers in this battle, of which the forbidden army is only 30,000, and even the baggage auxiliaries requisitioned in the follow-up are only 100,000, which is far less than the scale of the original Xingshi to attack Liangzhou.
However, this does not mean that the combat strength of the Xia army has declined, and the whole army has been reduced in a year, and the individual and overall strength of the regular army, including the garrison army, has increased significantly.
On the one hand, the rise in luck makes martial arts cultivation fast, but more importantly, the large-scale cultivation of spiritual rice and qi and blood grass has achieved initial results, and it is constantly being imported into the army.
In the face of the king's trust, Huang Jingtong and his western soldiers and horses burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, rushing all the way, playing with the same momentum as the forbidden army.
By the 19th, more than ten beacons and gates on the eastern border of Qinzhou were all broken, and the Qin army suffered thousands of casualties.
On the 21st, the army marched west for 300 miles, cleared all the military villages on the periphery, and encircled Yuguan.
Yuguan, the first pass in the east of Qinzhou, the city is high and the city is deep and the city is well guarded, and it looks difficult to win without a big battle.
The battle between Qinzhou in the yang world is connected, and the sound of killing shakes the heavens and the earth, and the situation is still unknown, but the battle in Qinzhou in the underworld is one-sided.
Taking advantage of the momentum of the national fortune in the yang world, the Great Xia Yin Court simultaneously marched into the underworld of Qinzhou, and everywhere he went, the ghost heroes were attached to the ghost city, and even the blessed land of the family had few recalcitrant resistors.
The Netherland Yin Ghost is more dependent on the general trend of luck, and it is easier to see the current situation.
