Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

This made Chen Ying feel very sorry, but other people such as Duan Shigan, Zhang Shigui, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Huaiwei also received honors.Duan Zhigan and others were respectively conferred the title of county uncle of the founding country.The key point is that Duan Zhixuan's father, Duan Yanshi, did not have a noble at all, and his younger brother has a viscount of Qixianzi, but Duan Zhixuan and Li Shimin will eventually be named Duke Fan.What surprised Chen Ying the most was that Luo Shixin actually replaced his original title and became the county uncle of Xiuwu.

There are promotions from official positions, titles, and honorary officers. It would be a lie to say that Chen Ying is unhappy.Facing the angrily-faced eunuch Liu Zhong, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he said straightly, "Eunuch Liu, I'm afraid you have suffered a lot during this journey, go to the hall and rest for a while...!"

Liu Zhongzhi's expression softened a lot, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Our family can't be called the honorific Tailin, as long as Mr. Chen calls our family to look after us!"

It was only then that Chen Ying knew that in the Tang Dynasty, there were only four eunuchs who could be called eunuchs, Nei Chang Shi, Nei Chengzhi, and Zhong Chang Shi, and Liu Zhongzhi's eunuch was only from the sixth rank. petty officer.But at this time, he also served as the Dingyuan Army's military observer.The full name of Guanrongshi is Guanjunrongxuanxuan Disposal Envoy. In fact, what he wears is the Supervising Army.

Chen Ying is not quite sure when this observation envoy was established in history. He vaguely remembers that it was an official position reserved in the late Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, this observation envoy came into being. Impact.

Just when Liu Zhongzhi was about to enter the festival hall, he suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, when our family came from Chang'an, His Majesty specifically ordered us to comfort the soldiers for His Majesty. Take a look..."

Chen Ying heard this and turned to Liu Tong and said, "Beat the drum... gather the generals!"

"Dong dong..." The sound of war drums began to sound from the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, and rhythmic footsteps sounded in a short time. Outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion is the main street of Lingzhou City, similar to Chang'an Street and Chang'an City in Beijing. Although the Zhuque Street in Lingzhou is not wider than the Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, the main street of Lingzhou is also for the convenience of dispatching troops.

So the entire street is about twelve feet eight feet (about 30 meters) wide, which is equivalent to two-way eight-lane lanes in later generations.

The first to complete the assembly was naturally the Zhechong Mansion of the Guard, followed by the Second Mansion of Xun, the First Mansion of Xun, the First Mansion of Yi, and the Second Mansion of Yi.In just one stick of incense, a vertical military parade appeared on the street in front of the Governor's Mansion.The first place in the list is naturally Zhechong Mansion, followed by Xun Yi Mansion and Xun Er Mansion.

Although Liu Zhongzhi is a servant, there are left and right military guards stationed in the palace, so he has seen the army, but he has never seen an army that assembles so fast, especially the kind that is like one, raising its legs neatly, neatly The scene where he landed gave him a great shock.

Just when Liu Zhongzhi felt that his breathing became short of breath, a mighty team of hooked and sickle cavalry appeared on Changjie.

Liu Zhongzhi asked strangely: "Director Chen, do you know how to foretell? How did you know that His Majesty ordered the right guard rate to be reorganized into the Six Mansions of the Dingyuan Army?"

Although Liu Zhongzhi didn't count them in detail, Chen Ying's cavalry Zhechong Mansion, together with the personal guard Zhechong Mansion, Xunyi Mansion, Xuner Mansion, Yiyi Mansion, and Yier Mansion, happened to have more than [-] troops in six mansions. .

Chapter 56

Liu Zhongzhi's cold expression instantly became gloomy.Falsely reporting military merits is something that generals in the army will do.

When the Lingzhou victory was reported to Chang'an, Donggong You led the guards with [-] recruits to wipe out more than [-] elite soldiers in the field.

Chen Ying was a disciple of Prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng tried his best to urge him to lead an army alone, march north to Lingzhou, and support Lingzhou.If Li Jiancheng put all his strength into it, it might not be impossible to raise a bright banner in the wilderness where all the horses are silent.In particular, Li Jiancheng actually assigned Chen Ying equipment capable of arming tens of thousands of people, which made Li Yuan extremely vigilant.Li Yuan guessed at the time that Li Jiancheng should have taken over the secret service of other forces in private.Including the Battle of Jingyang, Chen Yingzhen beheaded Zong Luohu, and repelled Xue Renguo, perhaps Li Jiancheng was acting.

Therefore, as Li Yuan's confidant, Liu Zhongzhi came to Lingzhou to act as an envoy to watch the army and comfort him, in order to find out how much dark power Prince Li Jiancheng has.Liu Zhongzhi's face changed when he saw that the number of guards on the right was not as small as it appeared on the surface, but nearly doubled in number.

Guarding the prison gate in the palace next to Liu Zhongzhi, he immediately used himself to protect Liu Zhongzhi in the inner circle, and the soldiers of the prison gate in the palace stretched out and pressed the handle of the horizontal knife one after another.

The prison gate in the palace is the warriors who inherited the Sui system and followed the imperial palace gates of the Tang Dynasty. This is the Ouchi guard in the novels.These warriors are not responsible for the safety of the imperial city, only the safety of the palace.There are not many personnel, only 300 people in the third brigade and six teams. The Lingzhou that followed Liu Zhongzhi is actually only one team.Although there were only fifty soldiers, it was enough to represent the importance Li Yuan attached to Liu Zhongzhi, and of course it could be said that Li Yuan was not at ease with Chen Ying.

Chen Ying is really not a prophet of the future, he just used the soldiers of the Liang division to form ten regiments of soldiers and horses, and added the remnants of Lingzhou to shrink a regiment of Yue cavalry. It became 28 regiments.

Chen Ying saw that the guards around Liu Zhongzhi were already at war, as if facing an enemy, he smiled lightly: "What does Liu Guanrong mean?"

"It doesn't make much sense. According to the regulations, the 27th regiment should be restrained under Mr. Chen's command, but now there are more than [-] regiments!" Liu Zhongzhi's face became more and more gloomy, and he chattered with a smile: "Shouldn't Mr. Chen explain it? What happened to these extra soldiers and horses?"

Chen Yingdao: "Dare to ask Liu Guanrong, what is the original assignment of the manager?"

"General Zhongwu, the right guard of the East Palace, the county uncle of Xiuwu, and the head of the Guannei Road." Liu Zhongzhi asked inexplicably, "Could it be that Manager Chen forgot his mission?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but Liu Guanrong seems to have forgotten!" Chen Yingdao: "I have also been granted by Your Majesty to the chief of the Guannei Road to act cheaply (biàn yí)."

"Uh..." Liu Zhongzhi was at a loss for words for a while: "Do things cheaply?"

Chen Ying is not a person who puts a warm face on others and a cold ass on others. From Liu Guanrong's attitude, he can tell that Li Yuan doesn't trust him very much.Of course, Chen Ying also said in a nonchalant way: "Could it be that Liu Guanrong doesn't know?"

"Director Chen, don't want to change the topic, so let's talk about other things!" Liu Zhong pointed at Chen Ying and shouted in a cold voice: "Now, as the envoy of the Lingzhou General Manager's Office to observe the military appearance and comfort, I will question you, which is extra. What happened to the soldiers?"

Luo Shixin and Liang Zan were very angry when they saw this old man from the imperial court ignoring Chen Ying so much.Yu Guni didn't understand Chinese at all, he couldn't understand what Liu Zhongzhi said.When Du Shanguo explained Liu Zhongzhi's meaning to Yu Guni, Yu Guni snatched a huge mace from Buqu beside him, and shouted in a Turkic voice: "I smashed you to death..."

Chen Ying was also very disgusted with Liu Zhongzhi's attitude.

Fortunately, Liu Tong knew what happened, so he quickly hugged Yu Guni by the waist, but Yu Guni was as strong as a cow, and with a light shake, Liu Tong fell to the ground.Chen Ying was furious: "Back off!"

Yu Guni looked at Liu Zhongzhi with a cannibalistic gaze, but followed Chen Ying's order and retreated behind Chen Ying.

No matter what, Chen Ying would never let Yu Guni kill Liu Zhongzhi. If the head of a town blatantly killed Guan Rongshi (the imperial court supervisor), it would be tantamount to rebellion.There is no room for relaxation between Chen Ying and Li Tang.

Chen Yingdao: "I was ordered by the Guannei Dao to act cheaply, and this Lingzhou is also under the rule of the Guannei Dao, so it is my job to recruit surrenders and rebels. Since His Majesty ordered my department to reorganize into the Dingyuan Army, I will reorganize immediately! "Chen Ying turned around suddenly and said: "All soldiers!"

More than [-] soldiers and [-] Turkic cavalry from Yuguni's tribe shouted in unison, "Here!"

Chen Yingdao: "According to the holy orders, our troops will be reorganized into the Dingyuan Army, and the right guard of the Eastern Palace will lead the personal guard Zhechong Mansion Zhechong Captain Zhang Huaiwei!"

Zhang Huaiwei, the personal guard Zhechong Mansion, stepped out and bowed, "The last general is here!"

Chen Yingdao: "Currently, Donggong You led the guards to reorganize Zhechong Mansion into the first Zhechong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army. The First Zhechong Mansion has five regiments under its jurisdiction: the first regiment, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth regiment."

Behind Zhang Huaiwei, the flag that personally guarded Zhechong Mansion fell slowly.Of course, Chen Ying didn't prepare a battle flag for him at this time.Chen Ying gave Liang Zan a wink, Liang Zan understood and ran back to the hall, quickly took out a white cloth.

Chen Ying took out the white cloth and tore it off about six feet.Bite your finger and write the words "Dingyuan Army First Fold Chongfu" on it with your finger.

Chen Ying didn't wait for the blood to dry, and handed it to Zhang Huaiwei with the white flag that read "Dingyuan Army's First Fold to Chongfu".

Chen Ying shouted: "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, the blood debt must be paid with blood!"

More than [-] soldiers from Zhechong's personal guard shouted in unison: "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, the blood debt must be paid with blood, but let the dragon city flying generals be here, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Very good, very good!"

The faces of Liu Zhongzhi and the soldiers led by the prison gate in the palace changed drastically.

Chen Ying said again: "Captain Zhechong Liang Zan!"

Liang Zan was taken aback for a moment, he had just been appointed as Deputy Lieutenant of Zhechong Mansion Guoyi, and now he was actually promoted to Captain Zhechong, he hadn't reacted for a while.

Liu Tong lightly kicked Liang Zan and said, "The last general is here!"

"The former Donggong You led Wei Xun's first mansion, and the whole mansion was reorganized into the second Zhechong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army, under the jurisdiction of the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth regiments, a total of five regiments, with 500 troops! "

The same one written by Chen Ying in blood read, "The battle flag of the Dingyuan Army's second foray into the mansion was handed over to Liang Zan."

Chen Ying quickly completed the reorganization of the whole army, and the Xun Er Mansion was reorganized into the Dingyuan Army's Third Fold Chong Mansion with Liu Tong serving as the captain of the Third Fold Chong Mansion. , under the jurisdiction of No.16, to [-] regiments, Duan Zhigan served as the captain of Zhechong, the fourth Zhechongfu.The Yi Erfu was reorganized as the fifth Zhechong Mansion, and Zhang Shigui was the Fifth Zhechong Duwei.The Yueqi Army was reorganized into the Dingyuan Army's sixth zhechong mansion, and Luo Shixin was the captain of Zhechong.

Donggong You led the guards with four Zhechong captains and eight Guoyi lieutenants. Except for Duan Zhigan and Zhang Shigui, Chen Ying was useless.

Seeing Chen Ying's open challenge, Yang Ze and Liu Zhongzhi felt as if they were mourning.

Chapter 57 Please Your Majesty uphold justice

Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, all those who support soldiers in the local area will become warlords, but those who are powerful will surely conquer.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu, the general of the Beifu Army, gradually controlled the military power of the Beifu by quelling the Liu Laozhi and Huanxuan Rebellions, and later established Liu Song as the throne.Not long after, Xiao Yan established Nanliang in the last years of the Southern Qi Dynasty.After the Hou Jing Rebellion in Nanliang, General Chen Baxian established Nanchen again.

Not only the Southern Dynasties, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen followed this model, but also the Northern Dynasties. In the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Six Towns Uprising broke out. The Northern Wei Dynasty was in the process of suppressing the Six Towns Uprising. The nephew and Gao Huan's son took the throne respectively and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.In the period of Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty. During this process, Yang Jian rose up, and then established the Sui Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this situation that strong ministers usurp the throne all the time and everywhere, and in the end it almost became a kind of thinking inertia in the entire Central Plains.
