Chapter 1837: Stabilizing Ji Qing
After the two female soldiers opened the curtain of the big tent, Mu Guiying strode into the tent, where a group of female generals of the Detachment of Women had been waiting for a long time.
"See General."
After Arthur and Hua Mulan took the lead, all the female generals present also clasped their fists and saluted: "See you, general."
When Mu Guiying saw this, her eyes were full of excitement. She did not expect that after so many years, she would still have the opportunity to go to the battlefield with her sisters.
After Mu Guiying slowly walked up to the position of commander, she glanced at Qin Liangyu who was standing next to her. Seeing Qin Liangyu smiling, she sat down. Mu Guiying did not refuse, flicked her shirt, and said with a smile: "Sisters, Free of charge."
"Thank you General."
Mu Guiying sat on the main seat, while Qin Liangyu stood beside her, obviously wanting Mu Guiying to take the lead.
After sitting down, Mu Guiying glanced at the generals below. All she saw were familiar faces, which made her even more proud.
The Detachment of Women has been fighting for so long and experienced so many battles, but none of the top generals have died in battle. This army has definitely the lowest casualty rate.
"General Hua Mulan, please report the basic situation of the Detachment of Women." Mu Guiying asked.
"General, there are 8,000 female soldiers registered in the Detachment of Women. In fact, there are 8,000 female soldiers, and no one is missing. Among them, there are 1,500 light cavalry, 500 heavy armored cavalry, 2,000 sword and shield bearers, and 5 sword and shield bearers. One hundred, two thousand five hundred crossbowmen, one thousand soldiers." Hua Mulanhui reported.
"Well, the Detachment of Women has received some unfair treatment over the years, but even so, the number of troops has not been reduced. The girls are all good."
Mu Guiying's eyes were filled with relief. No one knew better than her what the Detachment of Women had gone through over the years. After all, in order to maintain the formal establishment of the Detachment of Women, even she did not stop blowing Qin Hao's side. .
"General Liya, you are responsible for the training of the entire army. If there is a war, will the Detachment of Women dare to fight? Can they fight?" Mu Guiying asked again.
Arthur said directly without thinking: "Although the Detachment of Women has not been on the battlefield for a long time, it has never stopped training every day. Once it goes to the battlefield, it will not only dare to fight and be able to fight, but also win the battle."
"Okay, all I want is your words."
Mu Guiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the fire of fighting spirit was ignited in his eyes. He ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, the Detachment of Women will take over the security of Luoyang City. Arthur and Yang Paifeng will lead 1,500 people to take charge of the east city. Hua Mulan and Yang Paifeng led 1,500 troops to take charge of the west city, Deng Chanyu and Liang Hongyu led 1,500 troops to take charge of the north city, Fan Lihua and Hu Sanniang led 1,500 troops to take charge of the south city, and I and General Qin Liangyu personally led 2,000 troops to provide support in the center. "
"promise."
Regarding Mu Guiying's comeback, replacing Qin Jian, and taking charge of the Qin army's military power, the imperialists were actually looking at it as a joke.
What even Qin Jian, a veteran general, couldn't do, if Mu Guiying with a group of female generals could do it, it would be a ghost.
All the people with ulterior motives were waiting to see Mu Guiying's joke, but they didn't expect that Mu Guiying actually did it.
The Detachment of Women was mobilized for only one day, and the prison was almost full of prisoners. The public security in Luoyang also improved significantly, which shocked countless people.
At the same time, Qin Hao, who was far away in Jizhou, decisively sent reinforcements to Sizhou after receiving a request for help from Luoyang.
There were constant wars in Jingbei, Sizhou, and Hetao, but there was a brief period of peace in Hebei due to the Manchus moving south.
The reason why Qin Hao stopped marching was not because he was afraid of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone the Northern Han Dynasty, but because he was afraid that excessive stimulation would force the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty to join forces.
The Northern Han Dynasty gathered the strength of the whole country to expand its army to 180,000, but only half of Youzhou could not support such an army.
The Northern Han Dynasty's war mobilization was already at an explosive state. Even if the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack, they themselves would not be able to hold on for long. Once the grain reserves were exhausted, the 180,000 Northern Han army would even collapse on their own.
Qin Hao and other military advisers naturally saw this, so they ordered the army to suspend the offensive while stabilizing the two new rear areas of Jizhou and Qingbei.
Qin Hao had newly acquired the lands of Jizhou and Qingbei, and the people in the two places were far from loyal to him. He didn't want to have a fire in his backyard during the decisive battle with the Northern Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, so he took advantage of this free time to stabilize and sort out the political affairs of the two states.
If you want to conquer Jizhou and Qingbei, you mainly need to conquer the local aristocratic families. Once the aristocratic families surrender, the two places will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. However, it is impossible for the aristocratic families in the two states to actively accept the Qin army's policies, so in the end they will still have to wave the butcher knife at the aristocratic families. .
When Qin Hao attacked Jizhou, there were many Jizhou aristocratic families who helped Yuan Shao resist the Qin army, and this just gave Qin Hao an excuse to settle accounts later.
There are between two and three hundred aristocratic families in Jizhou, and there are nearly a hundred families with manors. Qin Hao is not a murderer. Of course, it is impossible to kill all the families with so many families.
Qin Hao followed Guo Jia's advice and selected thirty families that helped Yuan Shao the most, and directly took over these families. All the men were imprisoned and executed together, while all the women were demoted to slaves and rewarded to the soldiers.
On the day of the execution, Qin Hao also summoned the patriarchs of other families to watch the execution together.
All of a sudden, thousands of heads fell to the ground. This docile yet cruel scene greatly shocked the major families in Hebei.
Out of fear, the major families handed over their private soldiers, fields and people one after another to prevent the Qin army's butcher's knife from also cutting on their own heads.
A noble family cannot be conquered by killing alone, Zhang Jiao is the best example, and hitting a stick with a sweet date is the best way to deal with a noble family.
Therefore, after Qin Hao seized the land and hidden population of the aristocratic families and forcibly promoted the new law, he took the initiative to promote many surrendered ministers or scholars from Jizhou aristocratic families as officials as a compensation to the aristocratic families.
Although the aristocratic family lost its land and population, it also gained an official position, and most of its resentment towards Qin Hao was dissipated.
Killing some of the strongest leaders and winning over the vast majority of the people. It was by relying on these two methods that Qin Hao quickly stabilized Jizhou and Qingbei. While confronting the Northern Han and Manchu Qing Dynasties, Qin Hao also had a relatively stable Great rear.
Among the Hebei officials who were reported by Qin Hao, the most important ones were Xiao Yan, who surrendered voluntarily, and Wen Zhong, Tian Feng and Jushou.
Although Tian Feng was unwilling to surrender at first and wanted to die in order to maintain his loyalty, Yuan Tan not only failed to save him when he escaped from prison, but was worried that he would surrender to the Qin army, and even wanted to get rid of Tian Feng directly. If Zhang Kui hadn't rushed If he arrives in time, Tian Feng will definitely kill Yuan Tiangang.
After this incident, Tian Feng was completely disappointed with the Yuan family, and later surrendered voluntarily under Qin Hao's persuasion.
