The Sacred Ding

Yi Celestial Emperor In early February 79, with a large number of imperial decree and official documents spreading out from Yanjing City, Chen Hai also officially accepted the canonization in Songlingang Camp at the turn of Jiyang and Heyang. In Yanran Palace, he was appointed as Standing Attendant of Yanran Palace, General Du Wuwei and other ranks, served as Captain of Suwei Army Longxiang, commander of Suwei Army Longxiang Camp military affairs, awarded Ting Marquis Tian Jihou.

Although Chen Hai served as the captain of the Xiyuan Army as early as 5-6 years ago, the captain of the Xiyuan Army at that time was only set up for the convenience of training new pawns, with actual powers. They are so limited that they have no right to arbitrarily move soldiers into and out of the barracks.

And this time, in addition to arranging Huang Shuang and Le Yi’s 50,000 soldiers as sharp soldiers of the Suwei Army Longxiangying, Chen Hai also had to award the Longxiang Duwei Tooth Banner, which could be in the Pine Forest The gang set up a tent to handle military aircraft affairs related to the Longxiang Camp.

In addition to the chief generals of the Longxiang Camp and the Superintendent Envoys, which are appointed by the Taiwei’s Mansion, Chen Hai also has the right to be appointed by the Longxiang Camp Private officials hold official positions such as the director of Bo and Chang Shi. They are so powerful that they are not even under the guardian of the border county.

In fact, with the exception of Yanran Palace dispatching Huangmen to make Fangxi an envoy to supervise the army, all the generals and officials of Longxiang Camp are recommended by Chen Hai.

Fang Xiyan was also an eunuch in Yanran Palace. He was once one of the six great sword servants beside Wen Boyuan. Four years ago, Chen Hai stayed at the guard camp at night and met Fang Xi. Get along, get along for a while.

At that time, Fangxiyan had just opened the Sea of ​​Consciousness and entered the Ming Aperture Realm, only three or four years ago. Fangxi Yan has already been the cultivation base for the late stage of the Ming Aperture Realm. The speed of progress, Chen Hai see They were dumbfounded.

Although I don’t know what secret technique and secret medicine Yanran Palace has mastered, it can cultivate a group of powerhouses in such a short time, but what Yanran Palace lacks is that it can serve as middle and low-level military attaches and Qualified talents in charge of local government and county affairs.

This is also the biggest soft threat of Yanran Palace’s eunuchs, and it is also the key reason why Chen Hai can finally be reused, because Tianji Academy has gathered together outside the clan and clans in recent years. A large number of humble children.

This also resulted in two appointments. Although Chen Hai sounded like a captain of the first battalion, his powers are as different as heaven and earth.

Chen Hai organized the fifth battalion officers and soldiers in the Longxiang camp, with Le Yi, Wang Gui, Wang Gongchen, Zhou Jun, and Wu Meng as the fifth battalion generals and lieutenants; Huang Shuang was the guard of the military academy. Wei, together with Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang, and the others took control of the army’s Huwei Battalion; Sun Qian was in charge of the palace’s chief Shi, Zhou Jingyuan was in charge of the palace’s Bo, and Han Jian, Zhang Han, and the others were appointed as the general staff’s military staff.

In mid-February, another decree spread from Yanjing to Songlingang, appointing Chen Hai to also know the affairs of Lianshui Mansion.

This order is not the meaning of Yanran Palace, but Zuo Cheng Rongyan’s recommendation.

In name, Chen Hai has a good management of Liquan, and he has helped Tongbei Prefecture in the early years of disaster relief, and Heyang County has been fighting for a long time, and the people’s livelihood has been declining. It is extremely necessary for someone to reassure the local government and restore the people’s livelihood. , To recommend Chen Hai to take this position concurrently.

In fact, through this appointment, Chen Hai will be fettered at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain. Wen Boyuan can neither be transferred back to Yanjing, strengthen Su Weijun’s strength in Yanjing, nor can he lead his troops. Go north to Wild Goose Sect County and continue to incorporate the Black Swallow Army defeated soldiers in Wild Goose Sect County.

In the old system of Yanzhou, 10 li is Ning, 30 li is township, Baili is township, and 300 li is home.

Lianshui Prefecture administers 300 li areas from Tianyuanzhai to the west of Ganquan Mountain, Huapuling Qiushizhai in the north, Shishuling and Guoziling in the west.

At this time, the King of England won the commentary and led the animal husbandry of Jiyang County, led the Xiyuan Army to retreat to Jiyang County, and was responsible for restoring people’s livelihoods in Jiyang County. In fact, he controlled Wusheng Pass and controlled In the north of Beijing area, ensure that the Su Wei army cannot cover the sky with one hand in Yanjing City.

Crown Prince won Dan and the chariot general Ning Zhize, and the supervising army envoy Zhao Zhong, continued to lead the tiger army to the southern foot of Songdu Mountain, and continued to be responsible for the fight against the Black Yan army in Wild Goose Sect County ; Yu Zonghu was instructed to lead his troops to the south, with Huxiaoying captain and Mengjin mansion in the north of Zhilichuan County, responsible for restoring the people’s livelihood in the northern part of Lichuan County, and the Black Yan Army who fled to the Lichuan Yan Department and the western Zishui .

Yanjing’s political affairs are mainly controlled by the clan of the Jingjun clan, and this appointment is actually to restrict Yu Zonghu and the Ning clan who moved to the northern Mengjin area of ​​Lichuan County to establish a foothold.

Of course, Chen Hai’s Su Wei Army Longxiang Camp and Yu Zonghu’s Su Wei Army Tiger Hows Camp are both controlled by Crown Prince Ying Dan, and both know Lianshui, Mengjin also guarantees that the 300,000 elite Tigers and Cardinals will enter the border of Hayang County and Wild Goose Sect County to fight without any worries; it is also convenient to restore people’s livelihood on the spot, collect grain and grass and other combat materials, and can also relieve the pressure on Yanjing.

With this arrangement, no one can say that there is something wrong with the Minister of the Imperial Court headed by Tu Que and Rong Yan.

Of course, Yanran Palace is not without countermeasures.

The biggest countermeasure is to benefit the Celestial Emperor’s decree to add an artificial bureau under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Supervisor.

The construction bureau is located in Liquan. It specializes in the manufacture and procurement of puppet warfare weapons. In fact, the 7-8 million catties of quenched gold and iron that flowed from Liquan into the clan clan of Jingjun every year. All were collected into the hands of the young government supervisor and the Su Weijun.

This is from the highest level of Yanran Palace, directly cutting off the supply of quenched iron for the clan of Jingjun clan family; to ensure that this measure can proceed smoothly, the Celestial Emperor also directly decreed , The Xiyuan Army’s 10,000 elite garrison in Tongbei Prefecture was transferred to Jiyang County, and they were all merged under the direct command of Yingshu of the British King. The defenses of Tongbei Prefecture and Nanzhang Prefecture were taken over by local troops; at the same time, Qin At Tongguan, the Su Wei Army dispatched elites to garrison.

The Suwei Army guards the city of Yanjing and is responsible for the defense in the three directions of Jingdong, Jingnan and Jingxi, and the Xiyuan Army defends the northern part of Gyeonggi, and the Huben Army is responsible for the war outside. This military deployment is also equivalent. Reasonable, it is difficult to refute the ministers of the patriarchal clan in Beijing.

Of course, the clan of the Jingjun clan can still trade with the Nine Great Clans to obtain armored weapons of the Golden Grade, but the cost is far lower than before.

While the superintendent masters such a huge supply of hardened iron materials, the battle strength of the Su Weijun has the possibility of advanced by leaps and bounds; at the same time, the prefectural bureau recruits a large number of craftsmen from the Palace of Heavenly Secrets. The division can create puppet warfare weapons such as the celestial war crossbow, the celestial war chariot, etc. for nearly 300,000 generals under the jurisdiction of the Suwei Army, such as the Fengchu Daying, Longxiang Daying, and Huben Daying.

This is also the condition that Chen Hai negotiated with Wen Boyuan and Zhao Zhong in secret.

Heyang County has been completely disabled, especially in the northwest, from Ganquan Mountain to Guoziling. Almost all the brave young people have been forcibly enlisted by the Black Yan Army or the Xiyuan Army, 300 li There are only seven to eighty thousand old and weak women and children left in the radius, waiting to be fed.

In the western foot camp of Ganquan Mountain, which captured the Black Yan Army, the Xiyuan Army captured seven to eighty thousand soldiers, but they were all executed after the war by the British King Yingshu. The generals of the Black Yan army killed in the camp, almost more than 200,000 corpses, were abandoned within the valley at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain.

The King Yingshu described this poisonous hand. On the one hand, the Xiyuan Army does not need to be incorporated into routs to expand its forces. On the other hand, the King Yingshu is to ensure that these routs will not be incorporated by Chen Hai and strengthen the guards. The strength of Junlongxiang camp.

After the Crown Prince won Dan and Ning’s attack on Songpanling, they also killed hundreds of thousands of pawns in return for the defeat of Huang Miyuan.

Lianshui was a big government with a population of nearly two million before the war. The remaining population after the war was less than one-tenth of the pre-war population, and they were all old, weak, women and children. Before the war, Hayang County had a population of tens of millions. After years of famine and war, the remaining population could be only one or two million old, weak, sick and disabled.

At this time, Crown Prince won Dan to take over the Qing and suppression campaign against the Black Yan army, and the Zhuluqin kings successively withdrew to the original county. Chen Hai and Yu Zonghu were both controlled by the Crown Prince to win the Dan and assisted against the Wild Goose Sect. Yan Jun’s Qing and Suppression War.

Tianyuanzhai was originally a fortified village on the outskirts of the camp at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain of the Heiyan Army. Now there is still a broken city. Chen Hai asked the Imperial Court to set up Lianshui Mansion in Tianyuanzhai. The Longxiangying Duwei General Manager’s Office is temporarily moved to Tianyuanzhai, where he will preside over the military training, farming, and people’s livelihood restoration.

In addition to Zhou Jun leading the first battalion elite to station in Xiaolianshui City, Chen Hai moved the Longxiangying Duwei General Manager’s Mansion to Tianyuanzhai on the day that he entered Ganquan Shanxi with Huang Shuang, Le Yi and the others In the mountains of Lushan, I saw the valley where the King of England had killed 80,000 soldiers. He was silent, but let Le Yi arrange more than a thousand soldiers to immediately enter the mountain to collect the corpses to prevent a major epidemic after the weather warms up. .

Long Xiangying had previously recruited more than 56,000 pawns, but the task of preparing land for famine can not be delayed. The seventy-eighty thousand disabled people left by Lianshui Mansion were old, weak, women and children, and lacked enough. For the young and strong labor force, even if Chen Hai can mobilize a large amount of extra food for shortage, he cannot expect that the 70,000 or 80,000 disabled people can rush to cultivate enough land before the summer.

Chen Hai also knew in his heart that the Imperial Court, controlled by the clan clan of Jingjun, might at any time dismiss him from the official position of the Lianshui Mansion and transfer him and Longxiang Camp to another place for garrison, when the time comes, these seventy-eight thousand disabled people don’t even think about anyone who will come forward to give relief.

Chen Hai asked the Imperial Court. First, he wanted to use things cheaply in Lianshui, recruit the refugees, merge the households, and ensure that every household has young and strong labors, and would not make the old, weak, women and children suffer. However, the famine in the next few years will cause a large number of deaths; at the same time, I hope that the Longxiang camp will shrink to 30,000 on the spot, allowing a large number of soldiers to be incorporated into the army, so that millions of mu of grain fields can be cultivated before the summer. In order to deal with the great famine that will break out in Hayang County at any time after the war.

In addition to recommending hundreds of craftsmen and apprentices from the Tianji Academy, Chen Hai went to Lianshui Mansion to serve as middle and low-level township officials and presided over the restoration of people’s livelihoods. He also passed the caravans of the Tianji Academy. In Yongjun, Lichuan and other places, tens of thousands of cattle, mules and horses were purchased and sent to Lianshui, and the land reclamation after the spring was not delayed.

Chen Hai doesn’t care that he and Longxiang Daying will be transferred from Heyang County at any time. He just hopes that he can do as much as possible to restore Heyang’s vitality before being transferred.

In April, Crown Prince won Dan and led the Hu Ben Army to launch an offensive against the Black Yan Army’s defense line in Songdu Mountain.

The Great Heavenly Master Gong Qing passed away, the Heavenly Master Gong Liang, and Gong Bao died in battles in Ganquan Mountain and Songpanling. Heyang County collapsed. Millions of generals came or died and retreated. The morale of the generals of the Black Yan Army in Songdu Mountain is about to collapse, and the generals such as Yan Yuan have no confidence in defending Songdu Mountain.

In fact, before the Tiger Ben Army attacked Songdu Mountain, Yan Yuan had already deployed and retreated. When the Tiger Ben Army formally attacked Songdu Mountain, the Black Yan Army’s defense line was defeated. At this time, the remaining five 600,000 Black Yan Army in Wild Goose Sect County split into three factions. One faction fled to Yuyang County in the northeast, and the other fled to Beiliang County and surrendered to the Miao clan; He dared not defend, and led tens of thousands of disabled soldiers to retreat from Songdu Mountain and fled directly to the northern part of Wild Goose Sect County…
