Although this is the case in this era, it is quite embarrassing to be yelled at and scolded in person. Lan
The sergeants of Jingyuan and Shuofang's army all looked evil, and they all grabbed their weapons and wanted to fight.
Just to measure the strength comparison between the two sides, the sergeants were stroking their weapons one after another, probably for maintenance.
"I don't trust you." Li Yunze on horseback waved his hand, "You can go on your own."
The sergeants from Jingyuan and Shuofang Town looked at each other, wondering where they could go.
Having already fallen out with the imperial court, it was naturally impossible for him to surrender to the imperial court again, and he could not return to Jingyuan and Shuofang.
There was no psychological burden in surrendering to Huang Chao, but the man in Huang Chao was beaten so hard by the general in front of him that he couldn't hold back his urine, and even now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Of course, Huang Chao, who was clearly already sunset, couldn't vote. Lan
As for the other military towns, needless to say the far ones, who is willing to accept them in the nearby ones?
The towns in Guanzhong are basically relatively poor, and most of them rely on the imperial court for assistance. It is already very difficult to feed the soldiers and horses in this town, so how can we feed them who have gone to seek refuge?
After over and over again, only the general in front of me was the best choice.
"General." A group of captains and brigade marshals took the initiative to salute and beg. "We know that we were wrong, and I beg the general to forgive me. As long as the general is willing to accept us, he will be a hawk in the future!"
The total number of defeated troops in Jingyuan Town and Shuofang Town was more than 5,000, and they were undoubtedly elite soldiers.
Of course Li Yunze wanted to recruit them, but he couldn't recruit anyone above the rank of captain.
In the true sense, those who control the troops and horses in each town are actually these school captains and brigade marshals. As long as they gather together to discuss and make up their mind to take action, they can change the military commander at any time. Lan
Li Yunze had never planned to make wedding clothes for others.
The old middle-level military generals must be eliminated and replaced with those promoted by themselves.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Li Yunze said calmly, "It's not impossible for me to accept you. If you surrender, each of you will be given twenty strings of rewards first, and ten bolts of silk will be given to you when you return to Chang'an City."
The defeated soldiers looked happy, the price was really not low.
The price offered by Li Yunze is not over yet. "In the future, there will be no arrears in salary, and daily treatment will be like that of a regular soldier of the imperial court. Rewards for military exploits will be considered separately."
The defeated soldiers all laughed. This general is really good. There will definitely be a future with him.
With a wave of his hand, he asked the sergeants to open the boxes of seized goods piled on the carriage, revealing the piles of copper coins stuffed inside. Lan
"I have kept my promise. If you join my command, you can get your reward now."
Amidst the cheers, many defeated soldiers rushed forward happily, ready to fill their withered pockets.
"Wait!"
Li Yunze shouted to stop the advancing soldiers, "I'm going to wait for you, but I have a request."
Everyone responded one after another, "No matter what the general orders, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"There is no need for you to go through fire and water." Li Yunze glanced at the captains and brigade commanders. "I am willing to accept sergeants, but I will not accept those above the rank of sergeant."
】
As soon as these words came out, the defeated soldiers were in an uproar. Lan
The captains and brigade marshals also had angry faces, and they all asked Li Yunze what he meant.
"It's not interesting. I just don't want to end up like the Jiedu envoys in Weibo Town."
Li Yunze was too lazy to say any more nonsense, "If you want to follow me, you can come up and get the money. If you don't want to, just go."
The Weibo town he was talking about was a well-known fierce man in the late Tang Dynasty where there were many vassal towns.
Wei Bo Town, also known as Tianxiong Army, originated from the Anshi Rebellion and was built by Tian Chengsi, Shi Chaoyi's general.
There is no doubt that the soldiers and horses in Wei Bo Town are very elite, and there is even a saying that "the emperor of Chang'an is the Yajun of Wei Mansion".
But what they did was really rough. Lan
However, their most famous deed is that they like to kill Wei Bo Jiedushi.
Whenever someone is dissatisfied, or the benefits are not up to standard, they will often be operated on by Jiedushi.
That's not all. After beheading the Jiedushi, you still have to appoint someone else's son to be the Jiedushi, and force him to be the Jiedushi with a knife on his neck. It doesn't work even if he doesn't do it right.
The reason is that the middle-level generals have military power and can abolish and establish Jiedushi at will.
Li Yunze didn't want to spend his energy on internal consumption, so he simply shut out everyone above the team leader.
The generals in Jingyuan Town and Shuofang Town were very angry and loudly called on their sergeants to follow them and leave.
Unfortunately, there are very few candidates. Lan
The warriors these days are not stupid. In this environment, they gave up such a good job opportunity and went out to work with the captains? Should he defect to Huangchao or another military town?
For sergeants, make money! Feed me! Then you are my general and I am willing to fight and fight for you.
Li Yunze perfectly met their requirements, so basically no one listened to the captains' attempts to win over him.
Here Li Yunze waved his hand again, and a group of cavalry led their horses out and approached the defeated soldiers. The frightened captains drew their swords one after another, with wary expressions on their faces.
"What are you afraid of?" Li Yunze reached out and motioned to the horses carrying packages, "Don't say I'm cruel. I've prepared horses for you. If you know what's going on, leave as soon as possible."
After an awkward silence, the captains and brigade marshals stepped forward to lead the horses full of resentment and unwillingness.
Although he was angry, his hands and feet were numb as he opened the package and counted the belongings inside. Lan
One hundred guan per person is not bad.
After all, the annual salary of a regular soldier these days is only about 20 guan.
Of course, the premise is that all food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the public.
The captains originally wanted to leave a few harsh words like "Today's humiliation will be repaid twice as much in the future."
It's just a matter of comparison. If you hear such words, let alone being entangled by a horse, you won't be able to leave.
The captains and brigade marshals were expelled, and the remaining defeated soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward in an orderly manner to get their share of the rewards.
After receiving the reward, he did not forget to show his loyalty to his new general. Lan
They may have spoken sincerely out of gratitude, but Li Yunze only listened to them casually.
If you can control it easily if you give money, you would be looking down on the warriors of the late Tang Dynasty.
The army marched all the way back to Chang'an City. As for the ministers who represented the powerful families that had been passed down for hundreds of years, Li Yunze didn't even help restrain them.
The root cause of the demise of the Tang Dynasty was the death of these aristocratic families who in their eyes had no country and no people, only the power of their own family.
If Huang Chao doesn't kill them, Li Yunze will kill them if he draws his hand.
A swarm of parasites that serve no purpose other than to destroy bloodsucking.
When they arrived outside Chang'an City, the besieging Huang Chaojun watched them enter the city without blocking or attacking them. Lan
On the one hand, Huang Chao has not returned yet, and many generals refuse to obey anyone, and there is no unified command.
On the other hand, it is because the characteristics of this era are destined that everyone wants to save their hands. If all the soldiers and horses in their hands are used up, it will be over.
Li Yunze's troops are very powerful in combat, and no one is willing to fight head-on.
Zhuge Shuang, who was bent on revenge, wanted to fight, but he had no soldiers.
The ambitious Zhu Wen wanted to fight, but he was not strong enough.
There was no choice but to watch the officers and soldiers enter Chang'an City.
"This is a shitty siege!" Zhu Wen, who was holding back his anger, stamped his feet bitterly. Lan
The army entered the pass and surrounded the city of Chang'an, the capital of the emperor. It sounded so domineering and refreshing.
But the defenders could enter and exit freely as if they were in an uninhabited area, so what sense could such a level of siege have?
Suddenly, the generals under Huang Chao had different thoughts.
By the time the embarrassed Huang Chao finally escaped, it was already several days later.
Huang Chao, who lost his soldiers and horses and only had a few close friends left around him, immediately felt the malice of the entire Tang Dynasty towards him.
Not to mention taking the main road, I was afraid of being caught by hunters even when I was crossing mountains and ridges.
In other words, the distance from Wugong is not too far. Otherwise, Huang Chao might be like a certain King Chuang who was destroyed by the local militia. Lan
After the dark-faced Huang Chao came back, he summoned the generals and had only one thing to do, and that was to build siege equipment at all costs. He wanted to break into the city and completely level the city of Chang'an!
Decades ago, when he came to Chang'an City to take the exam, Huang Chao encountered the greatest humiliation in his life.
Now, the second big humiliation made him furious.
Don't say anything else, we must crush Chang'an City and throw that villain who only knows how to conduct sneak attacks into the stone mill!
"Ah sneeze!"
Li Yunze, who was always in good health, sneezed heavily, "Who is cursing me?"
Wang Baochuan raised his arms and put his arms around his neck, murmuring softly, "Don't stop teaching, I still have to study..." Lan
Shaking his head, Li Yunze, a role model for others, looked down at Wang Baochuan, "Your necklace is so white."
After getting over the initial tension, Chang'an City gradually returned to its former prosperity.
In addition to the city gate being closed and no entry or exit possible, the east and west markets have reopened, and the restaurants and roadside stalls in various districts have also regained support. Even Pingkangfang has reopened for business.
The sergeants who had money wandered around during their breaks.
Either eat it or eat it... and contribute to the economic cycle of Chang'an City.
It stands to reason that in this consumption situation of only getting in but not getting out, it will soon lead to collapse due to running out of supplies.
But the goods in the grain shops everywhere are available every day, and you can't finish everything you buy. Lan
There are no more foxes and mice in the city, no more dynamic groups, no more tax collectors, no more noble ministers, no more emperors and eunuchs... The people of Chang'an City were shocked to find that their lives now are the best they have been in so many years. .
The people were not stupid and knew that all this was due to the commander of the Shence Army, so whenever Li Yunze traveled, many people in Chang'an City would always salute and thank him.
“It’s unfair~~~”
Reluctantly leaving Wang Baochuan's snow-white necklace, Li Yunze led the tooth soldiers on their way to the city wall, but encountered someone blocking the road and calling for injustice.
Raising his hand to stop the tooth soldiers from drawing their swords, Li Yunze simply asked, "What's the matter?"
"General~~~" The person who blocked the road to complain was a merchant. He kept talking for a long time with runny nose and tears, but he finally made the matter clear.
The vendor is a rice merchant who lives in Yonghefang. He is actually a second-rate merchant who takes goods from big merchants and sells them back to the market. Lan
A few days ago, he ordered a batch of grain from a large merchant in the West Market at the price of 200 yuan per bucket of rice, and planned to transport it back to Yonghefang for sale.
But when he went to pick up the grain, he was told that the price had increased. Now a bucket of rice cost 400 cents. He had to make up the difference before he could get the grain.
In the words of the rice shop owner, "Look, look! What good grain! It's all the best polished rice. Two hundred coins per dou? The price of millet is more than this!"
Li Yunze, who looked calm, asked, "Didn't you report it to the official?"
"We searched, both Chang'an County and Jingzhao Prefecture, but they didn't care at all and just threw the villain out..."
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze, the real food supplier, suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around, heading straight for Jingzhao Mansion. Lan
