Qiming 1158

Chapter 89

Zhu Hu Si Ji still has some military capabilities.

At least that was the case with the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom after being cleaned by Wanyanliang, otherwise they would not be able to get into the position of the commander of the army.

Before and after Wanyanliang became emperor, senior officers such as commander-in-chief and deputy envoys were basically royal relatives of the Jurchen family.

The commander-in-chief is either a clan or a foreign relative, otherwise he cannot serve.

Only Wanyan Liang killed too many clan relatives because of the need for a stable position, so that the clan talents withered, so more ordinary Jurchens and even Khitans were appointed to important military positions, but no clan and foreign relatives were appointed to military positions.

This gave an ordinary Jurchen like Shuhu Siji some opportunities to stand out from the army and gain Wanyanliang's trust.

It's just that his old age and long-term superior living conditions have degenerated his once sharp senses and will to fight.

But at the moment of life and death, the spirit that has been spent by the wine and beauty for many years seems to have returned to him.

Zhu Hu Siji began to dispatch troops and issue various orders.

He intends to use the existing military strength of Shandong Road to fight against the Restoration Army to stabilize the situation, and take the opportunity to mobilize the army from Damingfu Road to support Shandong Road.

Then pacify the East-West Road, and then further counterattack the East-Shandong Road, fighting for the theoretical possibility of survival for himself and others.

In order to implement this plan, Shuhu Siji dispatched his disciple Shan Jing as his special envoy, holding a warrant to mobilize troops on Damingfu Road, and he stayed in Dongpingfu to preside over the war on Shanxi Road.

According to the terms of reference, Shuhusiji can mobilize the strong men of Meng'an, who have moved southward from Shandong East Road, West Road and Damingfu Road, and the active standing troops and horses in Zhenfang Meng'an, to form the main army for the expedition.

Whether it is an enemy country such as the Southern Song Dynasty raiding, or there is a rebellion in a local area, in an emergency, he can mobilize troops and horses to attack.

Of course, if the battle is larger, it is still necessary to report to the emperor and the central government.

Under normal circumstances, Meng'an Mouke households and Zhenfang Meng'an form a self-contained system and are not under the control of normal local governments.

The authority of the local government, that is, to mobilize the Han-dominated miscellaneous troops such as the Sheliang Army, and to issue strong men as signing troops, to form an auxiliary cannon fodder army to follow the main force of Meng'an Moke.

In short, to die.

The cooperation between the two sides can mobilize all the military forces of the whole road and realize military mobilization.

Shu Hu Siji also asked Yelu Chenghui, the governor and general manager of the military and horse capital, to provide enough Han Chinese to sign the army as cannon fodder and to guarantee logistical transportation.

He needs sufficient logistical capacity to keep the counter-insurgency forces in motion.

In this regard, although Yelu Chenghui tried his best to cooperate, he was still very worried.

He was well aware of the scale of the Shandong rebels.

The rebellion spread to the entire Shanshan East Road, and the Shanxi East Road also spread. The number of people will definitely not be small. Thirty to 5 people are the minimum. The scale is huge, organized and planned, and even put forward the slogan of "expel the Hulu and restore China" .

When it comes to the theory of Hulu and Zhonghua, which is the most taboo in the Jin Kingdom, then this is an upright rebellion, and it is competing with the Great Jin Kingdom for the world.

At the beginning of the matter, they were indeed small rogues, but now, they are clearly giants.

There are only [-] standing soldiers and horses on the east and west roads of Shanxi, and the number is about [-], which is simply not enough.

Then it is necessary to recruit the strong men of Meng'an Mouke household to participate in the war.

There are eight Meng'an troops stationed on the east and west roads of Shanxi. There are [-] Jurchen households, and the population is indeed large. All of them are mobilized, and there are about [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

But the problem remains.

Not to mention how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized to participate in the war in a short period of time, it is difficult to say how many strong men still maintain combat effectiveness in these households.

Zuosiyouxiang was uneasy in his heart and worried that he would also be tricked by these people, so he found Shuhu Siji and put forward his concerns to him. .

He came up with a very dire scenario.

"Even if the number of the rebels is small, I can pacify them, but if the rebels connect with the Song Kingdom in the south, and use the Song Kingdom's army to help, and go north together, then we really can't stop it!"

This idea can be said to directly hit the most vulnerable part of Zhuhu Siji's heart.

He knew very well that once the rebel army really united with Song Guo and asked Song army to go north, Shandong would not be able to protect it, and Daming Mansion might not be able to keep it, and he would definitely die.

But he was reluctant to make this assumption, because this was his only source of vitality, and he could only hope to survive if he had a fight now.

Before that, Wanyan Liang must not be allowed to know the real situation in Shandong.

This has become his obsession.

So he rejected Yelu Chenghui's suggestion.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to suppress the rebellion on the spot, and we have never heard any information about this rebellion related to the Song Kingdom. You should not worry about these things. Just issue a civilian husband to transport military rations for me as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just wait and get the credit.”

Seeing that Shuhu Siji would not listen to his persuasion, Yelu Chenghui had no choice.

In terms of identity, he is a Khitan native, and he is congenitally lower than the martial arts, and the other party is the commander-in-chief who is deeply trusted by the emperor.

He was really worried that the irrational Shuhu Siji would kill him with one knife and be a dead ghost.

So Yelu Chenghui could only nod his head, sign the people to sign the army, and do his best to cooperate with the tiger and think about it, and prepare for the logistics and transportation of the war.

By the way, I was wondering if there was a better way to get myself out.

Because of the previous chaos, Shuhu Siji lost one of the most elite troops around him. Now he only has more than 300 elite cavalry as his own army, and all the remaining troops have to be recruited on the spot, which makes him very embarrassed. .

The Commander-in-Chief originally had a fairly elite regular army, but it was a pity that he was lost when he fled in a hurry, which made him feel quite regretful.

He knew very well that the Han landowners and squires were numerous and powerful, but the team was a rabble and had little fighting power.

But he just didn't have elites, and apart from a few elites, most of the Jin army was a mob, which caused the current situation.

Shuhu Siji had no choice but to mobilize more than 1000 regular troops assembled by Yelu Chenghui in Xucheng County, plus more than 300 personal guards of his own, to form an army and act quickly.

While suppressing the rebellion, they mobilized Meng'an Mouke households to form the main army, hoping to organize a large army as soon as possible to counter the so-called Restoration Army.

At the beginning, Shuhu Siji did win a few battles.

The army he sent out under the leadership of Jiagu Asu defeated many armed landlords and squires in the area of ​​Jeju under the banner of the Restoration Army.

Jiagu Asu has repeatedly reported that the Liberation Army is very weak, they are all rabble, their armor is incomplete and their weapons are inferior, and they will collapse at a touch, which makes Shuhu Siji very happy.

But soon Shuhu Siji discovered that what hindered him from fighting the rebellion was not the emergence of some elite and good fighting forces, but the pull of his own crotch.

The anti-situation of Shanxi Road is mainly concentrated in several southern states, and there are relatively few chaos in Dongping Prefecture. This is the result of Yelu Chenghui's efforts to control and effectively deal with it, and it is also because most of the eight Meng'an of Shanxi Road live here. .

This is more convenient for recruiting.

Zhuhusiji thinks so.

But this is not the case.
