Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 4 A Different World
Wang Rong was lying comfortably in the camp of wounded soldiers, while Li Sujie had not seen anyone in the past few days, and it was estimated that he had returned to the army. He could hear the deafening sound of war drums outside in the wounded barracks, and more people came in the wounded barracks, and it became crowded. Zhang Pu was so busy every day that her feet didn't touch the ground, although those doctors, doctors and doctors could treat the wounded alone, but some of the wounded were really tricky, and she could only be the medical officer who could do it. Although Wang Rong didn't give her a prescription, the new garlic-flavored bandage was surprisingly easy to use.
When Wang Rong heard Zhang Pu praise the new bandage, he thought in his heart: "Hehe, of course, as the only antibiotic that can be manufactured by human beings in this era, allicin is of course a panacea." ”
The battle situation of the Anton army in Yuyun County did not seem to be smooth, Wang Rong's unit was one of the sixteen guards of the Yongguo, with the Anton general Wei Zhonghui as the main general, the partial general Liu Linshan, and the general Qin Ke as the deputy general, under the jurisdiction of the front, rear, left, right, and middle five divisions, a total of more than 50,000 people. Anton General Wei Zhonghui personally led the middle division, with Jianwei General Li Xianyong and General Meng Wendao as deputy generals, set out from Luxian County, crossed Hangu Pass, and arrived at Gucheng, the western gate of Shenyi. The partial general Liu Linshan led the left division and the former division to set off from Liyang and approached Yique Pass. Wang Rong's right division and rear division were led by the general Qin Ke to the east and attack Xincheng.
Some people may wonder why General Anton Wei Zhonghui, as the main general, dared to fight with more than 10,000 people in only one division of the middle division? Those who know the structure of the Yongguo army will answer you: "These 10,000 people have the strength of the Yulin Army, and they are stronger than the four divisions in the front, rear, left and right together." ”
The name and form of the army of Yongguo gave Wang Rong a familiar feeling, and there were two armies stationed in the capital of Jingwei County, the first of which was the Tiger Army defending the capital. The structure of the Tiger Ben Army is not the same as that of other armies, more than 50,000 people are divided into five divisions, but these five divisions are different from other armies, but have a number:
The first division is the Iron Eagle Division, under the jurisdiction of 10,000 Iron Eagle sharp soldiers, all of whom are heavy cavalry in armor, equipped with long lances, long swords, short bows and shields, and have the strongest combat effectiveness;
The second division is the Iron Kite Division, a light cavalry division armed with bows and arrows, this archer cavalry is very capable of fighting, and once the wolf cavalry of the Qiangbeard Country, which was famous for its bow and horse, was defeated;
The 3rd Division, the Iron Harrier Division, is a crossbow cavalry unit, which can be said to be a mounted infantry, and their main way of fighting is to immediately shoot a wave of crossbow arrows and then move away from the enemy's formation, and then strike the enemy with crossbow arrows;
The fourth division was the Iron Carving Division, a heavy cavalry unit with hammer axes and shields as its main weapon, which could charge immediately and line up under the horses;
The 5th Division, the Iron Vulture Division, was a cavalry infantry capable of charging for the king, with long knives, spears, spears, and beryllium shields.
At this point, readers should understand that this tiger army is the field army of Yongguo, but this army has a task first, that is, to defend the capital. Each division took turns to guard the capital, and the specific arrangements were top secret in Yongguo, and even the commanders of each division did not know.
If there is a battle, Emperor Yonghuang will use one of the divisions as the middle division, and equip the soldiers of Shangjing Weiyin County to form an army to participate in the war.
There are three types of soldiers in the Tiger Army:
The first is the children of the Tiger Army, these children are all Tiger Ben fathers, and they are also proud to enter the Tiger Ben Army;
The second type is the sons of good families in the whole country, whose families are engaged in legitimate occupations, not in the seven branches of the seven disciplines, or not doctors, witches, merchants, or hundred workers, who have a good family background, have certain assets, and can have time, money, and ability to train their children;
The third is to select warriors from all the armies of the country, including the Yulin Army.
Usually the common people will call this tiger army the southern army, and the corresponding is the northern army stationed in the city of Fengtai, not far from the northwest of Xushan: the Yulin army.
As the old Qin Dynasty, the city of Fengtai has been well preserved, there are sub-cities on both sides of the Weishui, the north bank is the north city, the south bank is the south city, most of the people in the city are the military dependents of the Yulin army and some business travelers. The Yulin army was stationed in the northern city, and the common people lived in the southern city, which was separated by a river.
The Yulin Army has five divisions, there is no number like the Tiger Army, nor is it as simple as the Sixteenth Guards Army, which is divided into front, back, left, right, and middle, but is named after numbers, from the first division to the fifth division, each division has the same configuration of troops, under the jurisdiction of two brigades, each with 5,000 people.
Under the brigade were five regiments, a cavalry regiment, an infantry regiment, an archery regiment, a crossbow regiment and a baggage regiment.
The cavalry regiment was divided into two battalions, light cavalry, equipped with short bows and long knives and scouts, and heavy cavalry, armed with spears and heavy armor, which were the main force in the charge;
Infantry regiments were armed with long and short weapons and shields; The archery corps is mainly based on foot bows and long arrows, carrying shields and hanging rings at the waist;
The Crossbow Corps is similar to the Bow Corps, but they are armed with the Arm Stretch, Waist Tension Crossbow, and Kick Crossbow as their main weapons, and they are much longer than the Bow Corps in terms of ranged attack;
The baggage regiments are more miscellaneous, they are not only the mobile granaries and mobile kitchens of the whole army, but also have the role of sappers, and all kinds of siege weapons are made and assembled by them on the battlefield.
The Yulin Army is dispatched by the whole army together, and during the dispatch of the Yulin Army, the reserve soldiers of the Yulin Army are stationed in the city of Fengtai: the reserve Yulin Division.
This army is the reserve force of the Yulin Army, numbering about 10,000 people, and the source of soldiers is to select children from the families of the Yulin soldiers who died in battle.
In addition to these two strongest combat forces of Yongguo, Shuofang County, Linwo County, and Yunzhong County in the north of Yongguo are stationed in the northern part of Yongguo, and the Northern Expeditionary Army led by the general Meng An; In Hexi County, Zhenbei General Wang Shihui led his army to station, opposite Li Mubai, the general of Ji State in Linhe County, across the river; As the younger brother of Emperor Yonghuang, Qin Shu, the general of Pingbei, led the Pingbei Army to be stationed in Yiqu County; The Anbei general Bai Su was arranged by Emperor Yonghuang to be stationed in Uzheng County, so that the entire northern part of Gyeonggi was protected by four armies.
The western counties of Yongguo, from the northwest of the Qianyi County, Bianyang County, Jingjing County, Lulu County to the west of Longqiang County, Longxiang County and Longxi County, respectively stationed in Zhengxi, Zhenxi, Pingxi and Anxi four armies, Yonghuang's deployment in the west is not very strong, are mainly middle-aged generals, with the old generals of the DPRK and China concurrently serving as the four generals of Zhengxi, Zhenxi, Anxi and Pingxi.
And in the south of Yizhou, the southernmost Tho Ba County stationed the most powerful army to conquer the south, the general Li Song is a descendant of Li Bing, not only outstanding military talent, craftsman skills are also strong, in Yongchang County for so many years, build bridges and roads, dig canals to do a lot of things, and with military power to suppress the tribes in Yongchang County, to the south crusade against the Shan and Meng tribes.
In Ba County and Qiqi County, the Zhennan general Xi Qi Shengxiong led his army to station, confronted the army of Jing across the river, and from time to time sent troops to cross the river and enter the Nan County and Wuling County of Jing State for a walk.
Qin Feng, the general of Annan, led his troops to be stationed in Shu County, Jiameng County and Wudu County, which was the prosperous place of Yizhou and Bashu. Xue Ting, the general of Pingnan, led the Pingnan army to be stationed in Dian County, Yelang County, and Yueshan County, where there are many Dian people, and some tribes come here from time to time to rebel.
The geographical location of Baohan County is special, here is the gateway from Guanzhong to Bashu, in the past has always been under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, and later it was classified as the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, where the Pingdong army led by the Pingdong general Jing Yao was stationed. The Andong Army is stationed in Hongnong County all the year round, and it is to turn the screen for the southeast of Jingwei Yin. The Eastern Expeditionary Army was stationed in Hedong County, confronting the Ji State and State Army in the north on the line of Fenshui and Tuozhu Mountain, and what Pei Siwu, the general of Zhengdong wanted to do most in Anyi, was to expand the territory of Hedong County to Guji Mountain and Zhuzhu Mountain, rather than nesting in this piece of land between Fenshui and Heshui. Zhendong General Qin Forging garrisoned in Dunqi County and Luhuai County, as the youngest uncle of Emperor Yonghuang, there is also a deep meaning in arranging him here.
This information about the Yongguo army is simply impossible for ordinary people to find. As for why Wang Rong knows, because Wang Rong is from a good family, or a Jiangmen family, these things are recorded in the Wang family's library in Pinyang Dongxiang. The only request that his father Wang Yu made to the patriarch Wang Shigui was to let him go to the library to find books to borrow, which was really a small matter for the patriarch. Wang Shigui not only agreed to his father's request, but also specially gave a sign to allow his father to enter and leave the study building freely in the future. In his opinion, even if a wasted person reads all the books in the library, it is useless, and there is nothing to worry about.
Wang Yu went in and out of the library, and the most he found were history books, geography books and exercise books, although the books could not be taken out of the library, but he could memorize them, and after memorizing them, he went home and transcribed them, and then showed them to Wang Rong. Wang Rong has seen very little about the exercises, but he is very interested in history books and geography books.
In memory, there was no problem with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and the Warring States, and the problem was in the Qin Dynasty. After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he died in the sand dunes at the age of 50, and Qin II Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and went on a killing spree against many of his brothers, which did not change.
What changed was that not all of Qin Shi Huang's children were killed by Qin II Hu Hai, among the many sons, there was a man named Yingwu, who followed the southern Qin army to the south to attack Baiyue at that time, and after Tu Sui was killed, he was regarded as the chief commander by Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo.
After pacifying Baiyue and commanding the three counties of Lingnan, he strongly subdued Zhao Tuo, reused Ren Huan and Lu Jia, and in the chaotic times at the end of Qin, he fought against Bashu Jingchu in the west, and before Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he captured Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and then revisited the story of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries, pacified the six countries of Kwantung that re-established the country, beheaded Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, surrounded and killed Xiang Yu with heavy troops, and forcefully destroyed the princes of the Eighteen Roads at the end of Qin, and re-unified the world.
It is here that history takes a fork in the road, a big turn. After Qin III Yingwu unified the world, he drove the Xiongnu in the north, destroyed Yelang and Dian in the south, and opened the Western Regions in the west, making the 36 countries of the Western Regions surrender and more than doubling the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Later, the Qin Dynasty continued to experience the twenty-first emperor, which existed for more than four hundred years, and finally reached the end of the national throne.
Qin 24th Emperor Yinglu reigned, first Jizhou appeared a civil uprising, and then led to the entire Qin Dynasty peasant uprising, in the fire of the peasant uprising, the Qin Dynasty fell apart, the road to the Western Regions was cut off, entrenched in Youzhou Donghu Yan Pu Pill claimed to be a descendant of the Yan royal family during the Warring States Period, raised troops to capture Youzhou, with Liaodong County Xiangping County as the capital, east according to Liaodong County, Xuanwu County, Lelang County, Zhenfan County and Lintun County, west of Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, Yuyang County, Shanggu County and Zhuo County, and finally established Youguo.
Zhao Fangzhe, a native of Linping, Julu County, Jizhou, claimed to be a descendant of the Zhao clan during the Warring States Period, and quickly became the leader of a party after joining the peasant rebel army, under his indomitable and failed will, his army continued to grow and become stronger, repeatedly defeated the counterinsurgency army of the Qin Dynasty, occupied Jizhou, and then attacked the state to the west, and repelled the invasion of Youguo in Zhuo County and Bohai County, and established the Ji State in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and took Lingshou, the national capital of the original Xianyu State, as the capital.
Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it has existed as a vice-capital, and during the Qin Dynasty, it was the western capital and the eastern capital. During the great uprising in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the Red Mei Army and the Green Forest Army that flowed around in Hongnong County, Yongzhou, Junnan County, Jingzhou and Shenru County, Yuzhou, united together, under the command of Wei Renzhong, the leader of Gongtui, respectively, attacked from the east, south and west, and took the entire Yuzhou County in less than a month, and then took Yuzhou and most of Yanzhou to the east.
At the same time as Wei Square established the Yu State, Lu Pingkang, a descendant of the Duke of Qi who occupied Qingzhou, Taishan County of Yanzhou and Langya County of Xuzhou, took the lead in establishing the emperor in Linzi, and set the capital of Linzi.
Han Linshan, a smuggler of salt in Xuzhou and Yangzhou in the southeast, gathered people to kill officials, launched an uprising in Qinyan County, and instantly occupied Yangzhou and Xuzhou from south to north, with Wu County of Huiji County as the capital, established the State of Xu, and went to sea to occupy Dongfan Island across the sea from Tongye County.
After the departure of the Red Eyebrow army entrenched in Hunan County, the people here successively elected several leaders, but they were eventually defeated by the Qin army. Then in Yuxian County, under the jurisdiction of Yuelu County in the south of Jingzhou, a stupid blacksmith took his disciples and grandchildren to join the rebel army, and used their hands to build very strong armor, extremely sharp weapons, and a variety of heavy equipment, and then the Qin army suffered the worst defeat in history, 200,000 counterinsurgency troops were annihilated by 50,000 rebel troops in Linxiang City. Then he continued to capture the whole of Jingzhou in the north, and after repelling several attacks by the Qin army and the Xu state, he freed up his hands to take Jiaozhou in the south. The stupid black blacksmith called himself Chu Xiong, took Linxiang as the capital, and established the Jing State.
The uprising in the Kanto region was in full swing, and Guanzhong was naturally not spared, showing that because of the war, the price of grain in Guanzhong was high, and only the simple three words "cannibalism" were recorded in the history books. The peasant uprising in Guanzhong did not come to fruition, but the Qiang people from the west and the Qiang people from the north dealt a fatal blow to the Qin Dynasty. The Qin army was defeated by the people of the Xuan, and the entire Bashu was thrown into chaos and division, and the small princes directly opened the Warring States mode, and there was no day that there was no war. The Qiangmen were even more ferocious, crossing the Great Wall from Shuofang and Linwo, and marched straight into Fengtai, hacking the 24th Emperor Yinglu of Qin to death on the emperor's throne, and wantonly slaughtering the children of the Qin Dynasty, plundering the Qin Dynasty's clan daughters, queen concubines and palace maids.
The surviving Qin Dynasty clan fled incognito back to Longqi County, the birthplace of origin, and later fled to the three northwestern counties and took root in Bianxiang County. More than 50 years later, the Qin clan re-emerged a Wenbi Qin Huiwen King, a figure of King Wu of Qin, he was the founding emperor of Yongguo Qin Xingba, based on the three counties in the northwest, established a Liangzhou iron cavalry, expelled the Xiong people entrenched in the north of several counties, and wiped out the small countries of Bashu to the south, and cut off the claws of Yu and Jing into Guanzhong and Bashu to the east. Then swept away the chaotic situation of Guanzhong and Bashu for more than 50 years, and established a new capital city in the south of the old capital of the Qin Dynasty.
When Wang Rong lay on the bed and recalled this magnificent history, he couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe these founding monarchs didn't realize that this troubled era would last for nearly two hundred years." ”
