Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 587

It's already September, and the Double Ninth Festival is approaching.

The Wuwei, Tiande, Tielin, and Feilong armies that had been refurbished carried out large-scale training in their respective garrisons.

The Wuwei Army is in Heqing, the Tiande Army is in Wuzhi, and the Guide Army is in Mengzhou. These are the defensive troops deployed on the front line.

The six inspection envoys, [-] cavalry cavalry from the second division of Hengshan, and [-] cavalry infantry from the Flying Dragon Army (less than [-]) were deployed in Hanoi as the second-line counterattack force.As long as the Bian army crosses the river and the troops are under the fortified city, this highly mobile force will counterattack in time to try to keep the Bian army.

But most of them will not be able to play a big role. It will be difficult for Zhu Quanzhong to make up his mind in a short time to organize another attack with a scale of 10 people.

The soldiers and horses with less than [-] cavalry were all under the command of Gao Renhou. He himself was in Hanoi and served as the commander of all the soldiers and horses in the Huaizhou camp.Lu Huaizhong served as the envoy of the battalion and formation, commanding the three troops on the front line, Fu Cunshen served as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the camp, Cai Songyang served as the envoy of vanguard and beheading, and Qi Bizhang served as the envoy of Youyi's attack, each performing his duties.

The Heweifan people who attacked Xiashi Fort suffered heavy losses, and then recruited some strong warriors to the three armies of Chishui, Wuxing, and Guzhen. There were originally 2 households and more than [-] people, but now there are [-] households and more than [-] people. , all resettled in Hanoi County, Huaizhou.

The 5-household Heyong Party, because of the agricultural social structure, has a relatively large number of people, about [-] people, who are still on the way to Heyang by boat, car, or simply walking southward.

These people were supposed to be resettled in Jiyuan County, but as the situation changed, they were scattered to Xiuwu and Huojia counties in Huaizhou.In this way, counting the original remaining population, Huaizhou will have more than 14500 households and more than 72000 people—if the loss during the migration is not counted.

In Jiyuan County, Mengzhou, more than 3000 tribes of Li Renyu were resettled in the first batch, and more than 8000 tribes of Tuoba Renfu came in the second batch.Now the third batch of Li Renyu's tribe is on the way again, with a population of more than [-].A total of [-] households with a population of more than [-], including the original remaining population, totaled more than [-] people in Mengzhou.

The population was still a little small, so Shao Shude turned his attention to Tonghua Town.

Tongzhou and Huazhou are relatively densely populated, with less land and more people, and the people's life is not very affluent.Shao Shude planned to relocate part of the population to Lingzhou to increase the proportion of the local Han population, and then relocate part to Heyang to fill the large blank land here.

The preliminary plan is to send [-] households to Lingzhou and Heyang respectively. Most of the people are not very happy, and coercive measures may be taken.

"The population in Heyang is still increasing. This year we rely entirely on our scattered military rations, and next year we will have to wait until their autumn harvest. Anyway, I don't have much hope for the first year's harvest. I planned to start collecting taxes in the next year. , I think it’s enough, and it’s likely to continue to be tax-free for another year.” After everything was settled, Shao Shude left Heyang and returned to Anyi. Before leaving, he walked and chatted with Song Le.

In Heqing County, more than 20 dendrobium grains and beans were seized, and more than [-] dendrobium grains and grasses were seized in the north, totaling less than [-] dendrobiums.After the war, Wuling Road had stopped transporting grain, and Zhiguan Road was still transporting grain, but the cost was too high.

On the side of Liaowu Wharf, after the Bianjun navy withdrew, smuggled [-] dendrobium of millet and wheat, but as the activities of the Bianjun navy intensified, they stopped again.

But there are workarounds.Marshal Shao ordered the grain boats to be mixed with the court water boats, carefully transporting grain to Liaowu, and transported more than [-] grains.

But this is not enough.

With 80 steps and such a large population, at least [-] dendrobium grains and beans must be prepared for them to consume, and some additional hay may need to be harvested, so that they can sustain it.

Of course he can afford food.The water conservancy project in Jinjiang is there, and the agricultural foundation is very good. The problem is how to transport it.Still can only suffer for the people in the river, transport grain by land through Zhiguan, and continue to smuggle by water, until next year's autumn harvest, Heyang can breathe a sigh of relief.

Only in this way, Shao Shude's reputation among the people in the river will decline again.In the past few years, it has changed from being friendly to indifferent, and it is estimated that it will turn into hatred later.

"Marshal, if Heyang can restore the grand scene of criss-crossing rice fields and cattle and sheep blanketing the fields, the common people will feel the virtue of Marshal, which is good." Song Le stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It can even be used as a quilt for future generations. .”

"Oh? What's the benefit?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

"Heyang is the northern barrier of Luoyang. During the Tianbao period, there were 60 people. If the three nursery system is implemented, 80 or 100 million people can be raised." Song Le said: "The commander-in-chief of Yiri founded the country, lived in the capital of God, and has rivers. If the foundation of Yang is near the left, it is as stable as Mount Tai.”

"Who said I want Luoyang as my capital?" Shao Shude laughed angrily.

He understands what Song Le means. After Heyang is built, if there are hundreds of thousands of households, this is his basic plan.If Luoyang is the capital, there will be no worries in the north, and you can sleep peacefully.

"In fact, it's not just Heyang?" Song Le continued: "Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou are almost the same as Baidi, and Ze and Lu's household registrations are not abundant. It is said that a piece of white paper is easy to paint. Meng, Huai, Ze, Lu, Ru If the five prefectures of Luo and Luo are captured, they can all move the people and adopt the three-field system. The people will feel the virtue of the king if they get the benefits. Even if some people are rebellious and rebellious, they will not be able to enter these six prefectures. .Your Majesty has a righteous name in hand, as long as the capital is safe and sound, you can slowly deploy troops and wipe them out one by one."

This is an old and solemn statement, but Shao Shude doesn't like to listen to it.

Looking at the replacement of the five generations, it is basically a problem in the capital, resulting in elbows and armpits.

When Li Cunxu entered Luoyang, that was Zhang Quanyi's basic plan. Even if he brought some soldiers from Hedong, how many could he have?Twenty thousand?Thirty thousand?Most of the embargoed troops in the later Tang Dynasty were recruited from the Houliang army, and their loyalty to Li Cunxu was really suspicious.

As for local officials, generals, and common people, they may not have a good impression of Li Cunxu if they appreciate Zhang Quanyi's virtue. Once something goes wrong, they will just sit on the sidelines and will not fight desperately.

The later Jin and later Han all entered Bianliang from the east of the river, and when they crossed the river, it was unimpeded, as if walking on flat ground.

In the later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei raised his troops from Yecheng, entered Huazhou, and went to Bianliang all the way smoothly. There was no problem, but if he wanted to go to Luoyang, it would be troublesome.If there are soldiers and horses from the prefectures and counties who insist on resisting, relying on the dangerous terrain to stick to it, if Guo Wei can't attack for a long time, it is hard to say what will happen to him who lacks a righteous name.

It can be seen that the importance of people's support for the basic plate is obvious!Guanbei fifteen prefectures, you ask if anyone is willing to rebel?

But Marshal Shao just didn't like to listen, so he said, "Zhang Quanyi is serving as the envoy of Feng Guojun, what do you think about this matter?"

"Marshal, you should ask Chen Changshi about this matter, not me." Song Le replied.

"You won't be Heyang Jiedushi forever, I want to hear your opinion." Shao Shude said.

Song Le didn't seem to understand the other meaning of this sentence. After thinking about it seriously, Fang said: "This is Quan Zhong's invitation to buy people's hearts. Quan Yi has the talent to appease the people. Let him sort out Cai, Shen, and others. Just Sanzhou civil affairs, naturally at your fingertips."

Feng Guojun Jiedu envoy, originally only governed Caizhou.This time, Zhu Quanzhong brought the newly acquired Shenzhou and Guangzhou into the jurisdiction of Caizhen, and the prototype of "Xiaohuaixi Town" that used to be separated from the imperial court to fight against the imperial court was formed.

Among these three prefectures, Cai prefecture has been stable since Qin Zongquan's defeat, while Shen and Guang prefectures were actually considered stable except for the recent war.Zhang Quanyi served as the envoy of the Fengguo Army, and he probably didn't want military power, so he took care of civil affairs and made use of his advantages in this area.

A few days ago, news came that Zhu Quanzhong gave Zhang Quanyi a Bianliang mansion, rewarded two beauties and several treasures, and married him to the Jiang family, married the sister of his confidant Jiang Xuanhui, and left the town of Caizhou to serve as the governor of the national army. Make.

This fierce operation is actually done for other people to see.

After the hasty retreat in the Battle of Heqing, the situation of the Xuanwu Army was not ideal.The people inside are slightly turbulent, and they urgently need to clean up.

Zhang Quanyi's family "trapped the thief", but he himself returned to Bianzhou "with awe-inspiring righteousness", so naturally he will be rewarded heavily.

Don't go to that dangerous place in Luoyang, just go to Caizhou to sort out the civil affairs.Hu Zhen resigned from the title of Jiedushi of Xuanyi, and transferred to the Jiedushi of Youguo Army, leading Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou.The post of Shuai Shuai is personally led by Quan Zhong.

This personnel transfer, I have to say, is very wonderful.The tendency of Huazhou Mountain was eliminated, Zhang Quanyi left his hometown in Luoyang again, Hu Zhen was still facing huge military pressure, and only Quanzhong benefited.However, he also "rewarded" Zhang Quanyi with great fanfare. He has done a good job on the surface, and no one can tell what's wrong.

"When I defeated Quanzhong, I wanted to see if I could recruit Zhang Quanyi and go down to Luoyang quickly. Now it seems that it is difficult." Shao Shude sighed: "Forget it. The battle should not be opportunistic. Now Xiashi Fort is gone. Gram, only 'Hangu Pass' is left."

"Hangu Pass" refers to Xin'an County, Qin Hangu Pass, Han Hangu Pass, and the so-called Hangu Pass in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In fact, they are all located in a valley road, and it depends on where you build the city.The current Hangu Pass is located in Xin'an County, and it is also the place where Hu Zhen originally stationed his troops.

"Marshal, Tangzhou should pay more attention to it, or send troops to reinforce it?" Since Shao Shude asked him to be a military counselor, Song Le was not polite, and suggested: "Xiang Town is broken, and there is a gap between Duhong and Ezhou. It is difficult to support Tangzhou. Zhao Kuanglin of Suizhou defended Pingjingguan, and then he was attacked and harassed repeatedly. Today, he was robbed twice by the Bian people, and his wealth is exhausted, all relying on the payment of gold merchants. The commander should pay more attention to this road."

Shao Shude calculated the strength of the troops at hand.

This year, the families of the Tielin and Wuwei armies moved to Jinjiang. The families of the Feng'an and Tiande armies are already mobilizing and starting to move, but it is estimated that they will have to wait until the end of the new year.

The speed is still too slow!Shao Shude planned to ask Cao, a family member of the royal family, to provide some goods, food and meat, and to bring over one or two additional army families next year. He preferred the Shunyi Army led by An Xiuxiu and the Tianxiong Army of the Martial Arts Department.

These two armies are resting in Lingxia this year, and it's time to move around next year.

The former has [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, while the latter is all infantry, a total of [-] people.

After thinking about it, they decided to let Zang Dubao and Niu Li lead the Tianxiong Army to go south to reinforce Tang Dengsui, and the Shunyi Army to reinforce the northern front.

"I want to order the Tianxiong Army to dispatch after the Spring Festival to reinforce Tangzhou, how about that?" Shao Shude asked.

"Zang Jun of the Tianxiong Army is brave, but he lacks strategy. The deputy envoy Niu Li is mature and prudent, loyal and unparalleled, and has both rough and fine details. He is worthy of a big responsibility. These two lead the army, and great things will be done. At that time, they can be sent to the army. The Baoyi Army has been transferred back." Song Le replied.

"No, the Baoyi Army will stay in the right wing for one more year." Shao Shude said: "If you don't fight more with the Bian Army, how can you make progress."

Song Le laughed.It's just a matter of consuming foreign soldiers and horses, why bother.But he had to be prepared for the mutiny of the Baoyi Army, and Zhezong had a headache.

"Commander, there is one more thing. Do you need to make some arrangements for the battle in Central Shu?" Song Le asked with a straight face.

"I'm thinking about this too." Shao Shude kicked the stones on the ground, annoyed: "Zhao Jian is really useless, he can even defeat Maozhou. Now the Qiang people are gaining momentum, and they are invading Longjian instead. Man Cun , Li Yu has already attached to Li Maozhen, Zhuge Mei's internal turmoil, and her head is battered. The soldiers and horses closest to the center of Shu are Heyuan and Jishi. I want to send one of them to the south. Zhuge Zhongfang will send another [-] troops to enter the dragon The sword helps to defend. I can't disperse too much energy in Shuzhong, my goal next year is still Zhu Quanzhong, this cannot be shaken, I will definitely fight him to the end."

　Yesterday, someone suggested to update the fixed time at night. I thought about it and tried to put it after five o'clock. At this time, there are the fewest people.
