In addition, in order to flatter Xiao's bad feet, Guo Da almost doted on all the Liao people in Shengzhou. The Han people in Shengzhou were also oppressed like cattle and sheep.
When Liao people killed each other's Han slaves, they only needed to compensate one sheep. The value of the Han people in Liao is equal to that of cattle and sheep.
When Yang Dezheng saw all the Han people in Liao lowering their heads, he shouted angrily: "Do you want to be slaves to others all your life? Do you want to be ridden on your head all your life? Are you willing to watch the Liao people bully you? His wife and daughter?" After Yang Dezheng peeled off the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, someone ordered Fan Long to take the soldiers of the Zhejia Army to the border between Shengzhou and Fengzhou.
Several days have passed since the fall of Shengzhou. Guo Da may have also received news of the fall of Shengzhou. Guo Da is likely to lead his army back to support. Yang Dezheng must take precautions before they happen. Although with his current military strength, he is not afraid of Guo Da.
But once Guo Da breaks into Shengzhou, he will definitely massacre the people in Shengzhou. In this way, he forced the people of Shengzhou to bow to him, and united with the people to drive Yang Dezheng out of Shengzhou. Therefore, Yang Dezheng must keep Guo Da out of Shengzhou and not give Guo Da a chance.
After Fan Long received the order, he led the Zhejia Army to quickly rush to the border between Shengzhou and Fengzhou to ambush. Yang Qi began drastic reforms of the Renaissance Army. According to the military system of the Song Dynasty.
It is divided into main army, left and right wing, army, capital and department. The establishment of a regular army is 50,000. There are 25,000 people in each side. The army was divided into ten armies, each with 2,500 men. There are five hundred people in each of the five capitals. There are one hundred people in each of the five departments. There are also lower-level groups and corps under them.
Yang Dezheng did not intend to follow the imperial military system. Instead, it was restructured according to the methods of Tianjing New City. In his opinion, everything in Tianjing New City was good. The Fuxing Army can be called Yang Dezheng's private army, so Yang Dezheng is fully qualified to plan the military structure of the Fuxing Army.
After Yang Dezheng's reform, the Fuxing Army was divided into two parts. Revival Rangers and Revival Infantry. The strength of the Revival Rangers was thirty thousand. The subordinates are divided into three regiments, each regiment has 10,000 people, with a regimental commander and a deputy regimental commander, and another one to join the army. Each regiment has ten battalions, each with a thousand men, with a battalion chief and deputy battalion chief, and a military supervisor.
Each battalion has ten departments, each with one hundred people, and a department chief and deputy department chief. Subordinates also have the lowest level, the first team and the first squad, each with a team leader, deputy team leader, squad leader and deputy squad leader.
The number of infantrymen for the revival was 20,000. There are two subordinate regiments, and the positions and establishment of each regiment are the same as those of the Renaissance Rangers. At the same time, Yang Dezheng also appointed generals at all levels. The commander of almost every regiment is a veteran general of the former Renaissance Army. In this regard, the people of the original Renaissance Army were very satisfied.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that almost all the deputies, soldiers, and military supervisors in each establishment are Han citizens from the Liao region selected from Shengzhou. At the same time, the team leader and deputy leader, squad leader, and deputy squad leader at the lowest level are all Han citizens from Liao.
After Yang Dezheng completed these things, he started a vigorous military training. The purpose is to select the best among the best. From the 80,000 soldiers, the most elite ones were selected. In the end, after three days of careful selection, 50,000 elite soldiers were finally selected. It is worth mentioning that the people of Shengzhou are very resilient.
Under Yang Dezheng's careful selection, he actually outperformed many party members and stood out from the army. After the number of soldiers is confirmed.
Yang Dezheng was shocked to find that among the Fuxing Rangers, only 12,000 Dangxiang people, who had high hopes for them, accounted for only 12,000, and the remaining 18,000 were all young men from Shengzhou.
Just after Yang Dezheng completed his reform of the Renaissance Army. Guo Da defeated Fengzhou City, withdrew from Fengzhou, and quickly fled to Shengzhou. In fact, Guo Da had already learned about the fall of Shengzhou.
But he had no choice. There was no other way for him to escape except Shengzhou. To the south is Daizhou, and Yang Yanzhao is eagerly waiting for him to plunge into Daizhou. To the north is Dangxiang territory. That was the home of the wild beggar Qianbo. If he entered the party, he would be seeking death.
To the west? Yeqi Ganbo would not give him a chance to escape westward. The Battle of Toyosu. Yeqi Ganbo lost two sons, and almost all of his anger was vented on Guo Da. The offensive and defensive battle in Fengzhou City was brutal.
Guo Da can also be regarded as a general. He relied on the walls of Fengzhou City and the 20,000 Liao troops under his command. The remaining 50,000 cavalrymen of Qi Ganbo, who had been destroyed in the same field, fought for eight days.
Yeqi Ganbo was filled with the pain of losing his son and completely lost his mind when attacking the city. I spend my life fighting Guo Damo every day. With 50,000 cavalry, they almost wiped out all 20,000 Liao troops under Guo Da. At the end of the fight, less than 10,000 cavalrymen were left under Ye Qiganbo's command, and only 3,000 Liao troops were left in Guo Da's hands.
Seeing that Fengzhou City could no longer be defended, Guo Da took his remaining three thousand soldiers and horses and ran to Shengzhou. Yeqi Ganbo led his cavalry in hot pursuit. Guo Da led the three thousand Liao troops under his command and quickly rushed to the border between Shengzhou and Fengzhou.
In fact, Guo Da ran to Shengzhou because he had a hope in his heart. He hoped that he could return to Shengzhou, respond to a hundred calls, drive out the Fuxing Army, and take back Shengzhou. Guo Da is very confident because he believes that his reputation as a living Yama in Shengzhou is enough to intimidate the people of Shengzhou. However, when he actually reached the border of Katsuzhou and Fengzhou.
Fan Long, who had been ambushing here for a long time, led an army of 10,000 soldiers and gave Guo Da a head-on blow. The remaining soldiers led by Guo Da were almost defeated by Fan Long's attack. Of the three thousand Liao troops, more than two thousand were killed by Fan Long's formation. Guo Da only escaped from Fan Long's strangulation with a hundred people. Guo Da, who escaped from Fanlong's Foot Brake, plunged into Daizhou like a bereaved dog.
At this point, he no longer cares about Yang Yanzhao waiting for him in Daizhou. He only led a few hundred people, and his goal was very small. As long as he escaped into Daizhou, he could quickly melt into Daizhou. If Yang Yanzhao wanted to find him, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, did things really go as smoothly as he thought? Yang Yanzhao, a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for more than thirty years, had already sent out his scouts when he arrived at the border of Daizhou. Daizhou's border defense has been arranged into an iron barrel by Yang Yanzhao.
Even if a horse runs in, Yang Yanzhao will know immediately whether the other horse is a male or a female. When Guo Da entered Daizhou. Wang Gui hurriedly entered Yang Yanzhao's camp.
"Your Majesty, Guo Da has fled into Daizhou." Old Yang Yanzhao was in the tent worrying about Yang Dezheng's capture of Shengzhou. After hearing Wang Gui's report, he threw away the arrow he was using to scratch his itch and suddenly He stood up with a happy face.
"Guo Da fled into Daizhou? He really dared to come in. Doesn't he know that I am in charge of Daizhou?" Yang Yanzhao immediately shouted, gearing up: "Ge Xiaoer, beat the drum and gather the generals." Ge Xiaoer in Yang Yanzhao's mouth Second, there is Lao Ge, Lao Yang’s personal soldier.
After receiving Yang Yanzhao's order, Lao Ge happily went out to beat the drum and gather the generals. Wang Gui stopped Lao Ge who was about to go out, and then smiled bitterly at Lao Yang and said: "Yang Yanzhao, Guo Da only led a few hundred people and fled into Daizhou... We... don't need to mobilize such a large number of troops, right?"
The smile on Yang Yanzhao's face froze, he slapped the table and cursed: "You brought hundreds of people with you to dare to break into Daizhou, where I am in charge. Does he look down on me?" Yang Yanzhao shouted angrily: "If you don't bring tens of thousands, Do you dare to enter Daizhou?" Lao Ge and Wang Gui looked at each other, both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
They are old people who have followed Yang Yanzhao for many years, so they can naturally understand the anger in Yang Yanzhao's heart. Who is Yang Yanzhao? Yang Yanzhao and Yang Liulang were famous in the northwest. Since Yang Yanzhao joined the army, the wars he has encountered are basically wars in which a hundred blocks a thousand, or a thousand blocks a thousand. Yang Yanzhao earned the reputation of Yang Liulang by virtue of his record of winning more with less and winning every battle.
Now Yang Yanzhao was asked to lead 20,000 people to deal with several hundred people. Yang Yanzhao felt that this was an insult to him. Deep down in his heart, he felt that these hundreds of people were not even qualified to fill a gap in his teeth. However, these hundreds of people actually got into Yang Yanzhao's teeth.
Yang Yanzhao had the urge to scold his mother. I have been very irritated by the eldest son's torment these days. I wanted to vent my anger on someone, and it would be best to be as hard as possible, but who knew that something would happen to me? "Guo Da is such a waste, he's too inexperienced." Yang Yanzhao yelled cursingly.
Wang Gui cupped his hands and asked cautiously: "Yanzhao, do you still want to fight?" "Fight!" Yang Yanzhao immediately shouted: "I have brought 20,000 people and spent a month's money and food here. If I don't I won't be happy if we fight."
Wang Gui asked again, "Who do you think is the right person to send?" Yang Yanzhao said, "I'll go in person." Wang Gui said in astonishment, "That's a bit overkill, isn't it?" Yang Yanzhao glared and said, "If we don't give it a fight, My bones are almost rusty. I also want to fight a big war, but that bastard attacked Shengzhou, disrupted Fengzhou, and fought all the battles by himself, without giving me a chance. I can't let me rush into Yanmen Pass. Take away the rights to the Li family doll, right?"
Yang Yanzhao's words must be followed. Immediately, Yang Yanzhao ordered three thousand troops and pounced directly on Guo Da. Although Yang Yanzhao shouted fiercely, he was very cautious when fighting. He didn't want Guo Da to escape from his hands, otherwise he would really lose his face. Guo Da sneaked into Daizhou along a Zhuangzi on the border between Fengzhou and Daizhou. Yang Yanzhao sent people to watch Guo Da's movements closely.
He set up a pocket formation on the road that Guo Da must pass. Although Guo Da was a general, he was not good enough in front of Yang Yanzhao, not to mention that Yang Yanzhao brought several times more troops than him.
Guo Da, a newbie, fell headlong into the pocket array arranged by Yang Yanzhao, an old ginger. As soon as Guo Da entered the pocket formation, Lao Yang immediately closed the net. Three thousand soldiers and horses surrounded Guo Da's several hundred people. When Guo Da saw Yang Yanzhao appear, he knew about it.
"Pfft~" Guo Da immediately knelt down in front of Yang Yanzhao and begged for surrender. "I am willing to surrender." Yang Yanzhao separated from the crowd guarding him, held the big golden sword, and rode up to Guo Da. He lowered his head, stared at Guo Da with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Guo Da, I have been in the northwest for thirty years. Do you know what kind of person I hate the most?"
Guo Da immediately understood the meaning of Yang Yanzhao's words. He cried hoarsely: "General Yang, I, Guo Da, am not bent on being a Han traitor. It's all the Liao people who forced me. My heart has always been towards the Song Dynasty. , I look forward to the arrival of the Heavenly Army of the Song Dynasty day and night." The Liao troops behind Guo Da stared at Guo Da with dumbfounded faces, and a few were even ready to rush forward and kill Guo Da.
However, as soon as they moved, they were shot into pieces by soldiers of the Datong Army. "Hmph!" Yang Yanzhao snorted heavily, and growled with a ferocious face: "Could it be that the Liao people forced you to do those unscrupulous things you did in Shengzhou?" "I..." Guo Before Da could say anything, Yang Yanzhao raised the big golden sword in his hand.
Hands up. The knife fell.
Guo Da's head fell off. Yang Yanzhao wiped away the blood on the golden sword in disgust, and said with a look of disdain: "What I hate most are you Han thieves who help the tyrants to commit evil." He killed Guo Da. Faced with the hesitant Liao army. Yang Yanzhao decisively issued the order to exterminate.
Hundreds of Liao troops were instantly strangled by the soldiers of the Datong Army. Since then, the 30,000 Liao army led by Guo Da was completely wiped out. Yang Yanzhao hacked Guo Da to death and wiped out Guo Da's Liao army, but he seemed a little unmotivated. Carrying a big golden sword, he rushed to the Datong Army's station alone, alone.
After Wang Gui saw Yang Yanzhao leaving, he quickly ordered the soldiers of the Datong Army to collect the swords and guns of the Liao Army, and then buried their bodies. After finishing the matter, Wang Gui hurried back to the temporary base of the Datong Army. After entering the station. He saw Yang Yanzhao holding a big golden sword, with his back to the tent and his head raised, not knowing what to think about. When Wang Gui walked behind Yang Yanzhao, he heard Yang Yanzhao's low murmur.
"How did I give birth to such a bad thing..." Wang Gui knew who the bad thing in Yang Yanzhao's mouth was without asking. Wang Gui didn't say anything, but stepped forward slightly so that Yang Yanzhao could see him. Yang Yanzhao pursed his lips and sighed: "After I leave, you will lead the Datong Army to Shengzhou."
"Ah?" Wang Gui looked stunned, not understanding what Yang Yanzhao meant. Yang Yanzhao murmured to himself: "We have defeated them all, why don't we give them back, right? If we really want to give them back, how can I have the face to see people in the northwest?"
Wang Gui nodded subconsciously. Yang Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said: "My grandson here is the one sent by God to collect debts. I must have owed that evil debt in my previous life." Wang Gui was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Yang Yanzhao suddenly laughed. "That's all, if the imperial court blames me, I will bear the responsibility. It's a good deal to exchange my life for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Shengzhou."
Wang Gui heard this and said nervously: "Brother, you will be fine." Yang Yanzhao and Wang Gui always called each other 'brother' and 'old brother' when they were two people. Yang Yanzhao didn't seem to hear Wang Gui's words. He entered the tent, took away his command arrow and seal, walked out of the tent, mounted his horse, and walked away.
Wang Gui stared at Yang Yanzhao's back and whispered with a complicated expression: "Brother, you are a loyal minister, a straight minister. A person worthy of admiration by thousands of people. However, what Dalang did, maybe for the Yang family, Not a bad thing.
I believe that Dalang will not let anything happen to you. "Huh~ A gust of breeze blew by, waking up Wang Gui who was talking to himself. Wang Gui immediately ordered people to beat drums to gather the generals, ordered the 20,000 soldiers of the Datong Army, and set off to Shengzhou in a mighty manner. He and Yang Yanzhao knew in his heart that there would be a big war in Shengzhou in the near future.
If Shengzhou is lost, how can the Liao people give up? When he was furious, he muttered something softly. "That's better than death." "Pah!" The old man standing next to the weak man who was muttering in a low voice slapped the thin man to the ground.
The old man puffed up his chest and strode towards Yang Yanzhao. His old face was full of solemnity. "General, we are not without blood, nor are we without courage. Although we have survived for sixty-five years under the oppression of the Liao people, we dare not forget the humiliation in our bones for a moment.
The little old man just wants to ask the general, will the court use us as bargaining chips to sell us to the Liao people again? When the Liao army comes, will your army abandon us and run away alone? "The old man's voice was very soft, but every word was blood and every sentence was tears. Yang Dezheng looked around and caught a glimpse of the long knife hanging from Chen Yao's waist standing next to him.
"Shua~" Yang Dezheng drew out his long knife and struck it hard on the stone lion in front of the Guo Mansion. The long knife instantly broke into two pieces. Yang Qi held the handle of the knife in his hand and said in a cold voice: "I, Yang Dezheng, am here, swear to God. Whoever dares to sell you to the Liao people again, I will stab him to death even if it overthrows the world."
Also, as long as I have Yang Ziqi in Shengzhou, the Fuxing Army under me will never let the Liao people invade Shengzhou. Laozi's revival army and Shengzhou coexist and die. Not only do I want to protect you, I also want to take you to rescue other brothers and sisters who are suffering.
If you violate this oath, it will be like this sword. Anyone who violates this oath will be punished by both heaven and earth. "Yang Dezheng's words were as powerful as swords and spears, piercing the fear in the hearts of the Han people in Liao in front of the Guo Mansion.
"Ma Mian!" Ma Mian carried the banner with the word Yang in his hand and hurried to Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng took the big flag with the word Yang from Ma Mian and asked the old man solemnly, "Little old man, what is your name?" The old man straightened his back and said loudly: "Little old man, can you change your name? Can you sit down? Change your surname to Wang Xing of Shengzhou." Yang Dezheng said in a deep voice: "Wang Xing of Shengzhou, I will recruit you into the army today as the commander-in-chief of the Fuxing Army. From today on, you will be the flag bearer of our Fuxing Army. I will die. , the flag falls. If I don’t die, the battle flag will stand forever.
Do you dare to take the flag? "Wang Xing's old body stood up straighter, and his cloudy eyes began to brighten. He took a step forward and said loudly: "My subordinate Wang Xing, take the flag. When you are about to die, the flag will fall; when you are about to die, the flag will stand forever. "
Yang Dezheng handed over the Yang-character banner to Wang Xing. Wang Xing held the battle flag and stood it upright, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger, with a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes. Obviously, Wang Xing is also a person with a story. Wang Xing held the battle flag and shouted loudly, "My general has an order, and all the soldiers of the Fuxing Army swear to live and die with Shengzhou." Wang Xing seemed to have a high prestige in the hearts of the people. When he shouted these words, a group of old men walked out of the crowd.
One by one, they worked hard to straighten their backs and walked in front of the crowd. "The little old man is willing to go to Chenjiakou to build a strong pass for the general." "The little old man is willing to go." "The little old man is going too. "..." Yang Dezheng immediately said loudly: "From today on, we will recruit one hundred thousand civilians. , went to Chenjiakou to build a city. All civilians who participated in the construction of Chenjiakou were given ten acres of good land, a good horse, and a three-year tax exemption. "Yang Dezheng's order was quickly passed out from Shengzhou City. Shengzhou City was captured. The Fuxing Army did not stop. The Fuxing Army was separated again and swept eastward. Two days later, the Fuxing Army was in Chen Jiakou Round. Chenjiakou is a depression similar to Yanmen Pass, with mountains on both sides.
In the past, there was a pass similar to Yanmen Pass here. However, after Shengzhou was sent out by Shi Jingtang, the Liao people demolished the Chenjiakou pass to facilitate passage. Chenjiakou has a special geographical location. As long as a pass is built here, it can withstand a hundred thousand soldiers. This is a once and for all thing.
In this era destined to be without artillery fire, the pass plays a great role. Standing on the top of the mountain in Chenjiakou, Yang Dezheng looked at the dark crowd below, frowned and asked Chen Yao beside him, "Chen Yao, how many people are there in the Fuxing Army?" Chen Yao has now been temporarily recruited to Yang Dezheng's side to join the army.
Since the number of people in the Renaissance Army was relatively large, Yang Qi was not willing to let loose like Aunt Xiang and Shang Qingzi. Therefore, during the march, Yang Dezheng gradually improved the management of the Fuxing Army. To systematically manage the Renaissance Army, it is necessary to fill many positions in the army.
Chen Yao was a member of the Fuxing Army, a rare person with limited literacy, so he was promoted to join the army by Yang Dezheng.
After hearing Yang Dezheng's question, Chen Yao said with some embarrassment: "General, at the current position, the number of the Renaissance Army has reached 80,000." Yang Dezheng frowned deeper, "Wasn't it only 50,000 before? How did it develop so fast?”
Chen Yao smiled awkwardly and said: "Since what General you said in Shengzhou City spread, there have been more and more people who want to join our Renaissance Army. With these 80,000 people, my subordinates ordered me to carefully select them." Selected. If we really let them in, the number of people will probably exceed 180,000."
Yang Dezheng was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Shengzhou is now in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. It is not a good thing for us to recruit all the people into the army." Wang Xing, who was guarding Yang Dezheng and carrying a banner with the word "Yang" on his back, said , smiled happily: "The dolls are all holding their breath in their hearts. Now that they can finally breathe smoothly, everyone wants to help."
In Wang Xing's eyes, Yang Dezheng was like a spring breeze. He gently blew across the ground in Shengzhou and suddenly awakened all the vitality in Shengzhou. Yang Dezheng pondered: "I will send a letter later and ask Daizhou to dispatch a group of officials. At the same time, a recruitment order will be posted in Shengzhou. The people of Shengzhou will be stabilized as soon as possible. Then according to the situation of each family's population , distribute the land. Let the people of Shengzhou settle down as soon as possible and live a good life as soon as possible."
Wang Xing said with a smile: "That's a good relationship." Yang Dezheng turned his head and asked Wang Xing, "How many people do you think there are in Shengzhou, how much fertile land is there, and how much land is appropriate for each family to be allocated?"
"Hey~" When he mentioned this, Governor Wang sighed and said: "The stubborn Liao dogs have done harm to nature and justice in Shengzhou. There are not many people in Shengzhou who can survive the disaster. . There is no way for the old, weak, women and children to survive. The only ones who can survive are some young children. Speaking of our Shengzhou, it was also a big state in the past, with a population of 600,000.
Since being harmed by the Liao people, the remaining population is less than 400,000. In Shengzhou, one family can get more than twenty acres of land. Yang Dezheng nodded and said, "Then each family will be divided into thirty acres." Wang Xing glared and said, "We don't have that much land in Shengzhou?" "
Yang Dezheng laughed loudly and said: "We not only have Shengzhou, but also Daizhou and Fengzhou. Fengzhou has been severely damaged. As long as Shengzhou is stabilized, we will attack Fengzhou. We will win Fengzhou Prefectures, our people will be given land." Wang Xing said excitedly: "It is best to take back all the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. By then, we people will be able to allocate one hundred acres of land."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dezheng looked at the green grassland outside Chenjiakou and said solemnly: "The Sixteenth State of Yanyun has taken it back a long time ago, and now it is in the hands of our Yang Jiajun, Yang Peng."
Yang Dezheng continued to ask Chen Yao, "How is the situation of the people?" Chen Yao smiled and said: "Since General, you promised to get land, everyone has actively joined the team of building the city. Currently, there are 160,000 people gathered. "Yes." Yang Dezheng nodded and said: "You pass the order and let the Renaissance Army conduct screening again. The number must be controlled to 50,000. I only want the best soldiers among the best soldiers. All the eliminated soldiers will be incorporated into the ranks of civilians. Let's start. Participate in the work of building the city.”
Chen Yao solemnly said: "My subordinates understand." Yang Dezheng added: "During the city-building work, you can conduct a round of investigation and select those civilians who participated in the city-building work, single-family members, single-person households, and those who insisted on staying in the army. The men among them were independently organized into agricultural reclamation corps.
At the same time, refugees from various places and the lonely elderly people were also incorporated into the Agricultural Reclamation Corps. After the city is built, let them open up wasteland and farm the land. Our Renaissance Army must be self-sufficient in the future. The imperial court will not recognize us. I leave all these matters to you. During this period, you can recruit the talents you want to use and appoint low-level officials.
Next, I will concentrate on training my troops to prepare for the recapture of Fengzhou. At the same time, we must also be prepared to resist the Liao people's counterattack. "Chen Yao shouted respectfully: "My subordinates will definitely live up to the general's instructions. "
Chen Yao is a talent. Yang Dezheng discovered this through his contacts in recent days. Currently, there is a shortage of talents under Yang Dezheng, especially those who manage politics. After entrusting everything built to Chen Yao. Yang Dezheng went to Chenjiakou. Five miles below Chenjiakou is the camp where the Fuxing Army is stationed. After Yang Dezheng returned to the camp, he summoned the soldiers of the Zhejia Army. He stripped out the 10,000 soldiers and soldiers lurking in the army.
After all, the Zhejia Army belongs to others, and Yang Dezheng cannot really take it for himself. Even if he is willing, the soldiers of the Zhejia Army may not be willing. After Yang Dezheng peeled off the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, he ordered Fan Long to take the soldiers of the Zhejia Army to the border between Shengzhou and Fengzhou.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
