Yang Laosan's famous name is Yang Fu. He has forgotten how many years he has been a soldier, but he seems to feel that he has always been unlucky. From the time he was in the hands of Ma Yin when he was ten years old, he served as a soldier until the demise of the Ma family dynasty. He was not taken in by the King of Hell, but instead turned disaster into good fortune every time.
After so many years, no matter how well he did in the army, he was indeed a veteran. But it seems that Yang Laosan doesn't seem to have much ability, and he doesn't have much to say at ordinary times. Until now, he is just a small captain. He usually oversees several groups of soldiers, usually new recruits, and usually no one speaks out. believe.
He is still very kind to people, and he doesn't have bad intentions towards people. He was the one who took Wu Yan with him when he first entered the military camp. Moreover, when he participated in the first battle for the first time, he was the one who quickly and wisely pulled Wu Yan, who had just killed someone and was frightened, out of the battlefield at the risk of death. Therefore, Wu Yan not only regarded Yang Laosan as his brother and master, but Yang Laosan also regarded Wu Yan as his relative.
And today, in terms of his status in the Tattoo City, Wu Yan is already the captain of the team just like him. He usually never compares or argues with others, but he didn't expect that Wu Yan saved him today.
At this time, Yang Shifan, the captain of the guard, was captured together. Although the two of them pretended to be dead just now, at least they were unscathed now. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so the two of them are not afraid of it anymore. Although they are now prisoners for no reason, in this era of population shortage, the two of them feel safer as soldiers.
Because both of them understand that the other side has such sophisticated institutions and methods, if they want to kill the remaining dozens of people, there is no need to detain this group of people in such a troublesome manner. They must want to keep these people and increase the number of people. Their own soldiers may have other uses. It is said that the bandits recruit people everywhere in order to gain a foothold.
Seeing that they are not suffering any harm now, they must be detaining these people for something, or have some other intention, because the other party does not have anyone responsible for detaining these people. I couldn't help but think of those unlucky comrades who had just died tragically. The two of them were either numb or sad. They were a little lucky that some rabbits died and foxes were saddened by their own kind. But since coming to the battlefield, everyone has already had this awareness. They don’t know when they will die, but they are just normal people! Who doesn’t want to live just one more day?
At that time, Ma Yin was in power. In order to unify Hunan, the Chu land, he once recruited and sent Peng Yao, the native chieftain of Xizhou, as the local governor. This Peng Yao was quite courageous and actually unified the barbarians in western Chu. After this Peng Yao died, his second son Peng Shichou attacked the chieftain.
Of course, no one expected that the Peng family chieftain promoted by Ma Yin would separatize the Chu territory in the era of the Five Dynasties disputes. After that, the feudal dynasty stabilized its position and remained autonomous until the Qing Dynasty. The entire western Hunan was owned by the Peng family chieftain. The world.
Moreover, the position of chieftain of the Peng family is hereditary and has never been affected by changes in dynasties. It is really a miracle in China's feudal history. It is also one of the surnames that has the longest history of family power and separatist rule.
If we look at the length of dynasty's continued rule, the Peng family is actually the longest independent private dynasty in the feudal dynasty. His descendants have never left the Xizhou area and guarded the Baojing and Yongshun areas. Therefore, the ancestor of the Baojing Xuanwei Division in later generations has always been thought to be Peng Shichou's son Peng Shihao!
Yang Laosan and Wu Yan naturally couldn't know what happened to the Peng family later on, but they certainly knew that when the Ma family ruled, until it was in the hands of Ma Yin's son, the chieftain of the Peng family had the greatest appeal in this area. Now that bandits are occupying Jianzhou, what on earth are the chieftains doing?
At that time, due to the continuous oppression and bullying of the barbarians by the Ma family regime, Peng Shichou finally made up his mind to lead the barbarians in Jin and Zhenzhou to resist the Ma family regime and go to war with his true relative, who was very close to him.
At that time, the ruler of Chu was Ma Xifan, the son of Ma Yin, King Wen Zhao. This man was really stupid and unprincipled, and his wife, Mrs. Qin Guo, was Peng Shichou's cousin. However, when Ma Xifan was waiting for Tianfu for three years (938), after the death of his wife Qin Guo, the arrogant and arrogant Ma Xifan started to have sex with his brothers-in-law.
However, maybe at that time he had Liu Qing and Liu Quanming, the good generals left by his father Ma Yin, who actually defeated Peng Shichou's more than 10,000 barbarians and fled Jianzhou, and since then gave up the chieftain position to his son Peng Shihao.
This Peng Shihao was an extraordinary general during the Five Dynasties. He was famous not only in Xiangxi but also in the entire Chu region. Not only was he superb in martial arts, but he was also very smart, so future generations would be able to gain a foothold in the barbarian land.
He had always been close to Ma Yin's other son, Ma Xi'e. At that time, Ma Xi'e was still the military governor of Wuping, and his territory was close to the barbarians of Western Chu, and they often interacted with each other. Peng Shihao became a hostage of the Ma family in Tanzhou when his father ordered the barbarians to surrender to Liu Qing. Ma Xifan originally wanted to kill this smart young man, but he was saved by Ma Xi'e.
Later, Tuman and Ma Xifan negotiated a peace treaty and erected bronze pillars of Xizhou in Xiping, ancient Zhanghui, Mandi, recognizing the semi-independence of the barbarians in Xizhou, which led to the establishment of the Peng family chieftain dynasty in western Hunan. Although Peng Shihao was left in the control of the Ma family in Chudi, Peng Shihao's elders and children stayed in the barbarian land.
Later, the Chu region's political power changed, and there was great turmoil after the death of Ma Xifan. He handed over his power to his brother Xiguang, a compatriot from the same mother, to take over the throne. As the eldest living son of Ma Yin, Ma Xi'e was not able to succeed to the throne.
This Ma Xi'e really didn't have much ability, but because Ma Yin had ruled Chu for so long, as a high-ranking official, Ma Xi'e also had a group of lucky people around him. After not being able to ascend to the throne, he naturally felt resentful and felt uncomfortable. So, under the instigation of the conspirators around him, he soon launched a famous battle with his younger brother to seize power.
In less than two or three years, the Ma brothers lost all the property that Ma Yin had accumulated over decades, and the Chu Kingdom in the Five Dynasties was destroyed.
Shortly after the death of Ma Xifan, Ma Xihe couldn't help but led his troops south to capture Tanzhou, the capital of Southern Chu, and hanged his younger brother Ma Xiguang! Of course, before this, Ma Xi'e was defeated by Xi Guang's army once. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable. In a moment of stupidity, he went to unite with the Southern Tang government and led the wolves into the house to attack his brother Ma Xiguang. At the same time, he fought many times with Peng Shihao's barbarians. After discussing cooperation, the barbarian soldiers who were good at fighting gave Ma Xi'e great help, which shocked the Chu land.
This Ma Xi'e also has a fatal flaw. He usually likes to brag. Because when he was an adult, his father Ma Yin was very popular, so there were many people around him who liked him, so he also believed that he was invincible. Later, he was not unified. Chu Di, even more arrogantly called himself King Shuntian in advance.
Because Peng Shihao had received help from Ma Xihe that day, he also sent out his own barbarians to help Ma Xihe seize the Chu territory. He first persuaded the general appointed by Ma Xiguang to surrender, and then successfully captured Tanzhou. Kill Ma Xiguang.
No one thought that because Ma Xihe surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty and led the wolf into the house, he would offend a group of brothers who had followed Ma Yin in the past! That is Zhou Xingfeng, who is now in charge of Wuping Jieduli in Hunan, and Liu Yan, who was the governor of Chenzhou at that time.
Zhou Xingfeng's brother Wang Jinkui was the governor of Wu'an at that time, and their ten sworn brothers were known as the ten brothers of Chu and Xiang. The two men led a group of brothers to occupy Langzhou, where Wu'an Jiedushi was based, and appointed Ma Guanghui, the son of Ma Yin's eldest son Xizhen, as Jiedushi.
Ma Xi'e was powerful for a while, but due to the consequences of luring a wolf into the house, his general Xu Wei mutinied within a few months. He supported Ma Yin's other son Ma Xichong to stay in Wu'an, and suddenly detained the defenseless Ma Xi'e, and then imprisoned him in Heng. Hengshan County, Prefecture.
At this time, Liu Yan, the governor of Chenzhou, was promoted by brothers Zhou Xingfeng and Wang Jinkui as the powerful official. After Wu Pingliu, he was stationed in Laowolang Prefecture in Ma Xi'e, and dominated the main position of the Chu region's political power.
The next year, Wang Jinkui and Zhou Xingfeng raised troops in the name of Ma Yin and forcibly captured Tanzhou. They forced all the Southern Tang troops led by Shengfo Bianhao out of the Chu area. After that, they successively recovered most of the Chu area.
Ma Xihe, who was imprisoned in Hengshan at the beginning of this year, was led by Peng Shihao and assisted by Liao Yan and Liao Kuangning. However, as the famous Southern Tang general Sheng Fo Bian Hao entered Chu, he quickly captured the territory of Chu. The great turmoil in the country caused Ma Yin's subordinates to desert one after another, and the Chu State soon perished without its master.
Bian Hao captured the descendants of the Ma family, and Peng Shihao and several generals did not escape because they followed Ma Xi'e. Soon, Bian Hao was driven out of Chu by Zhou Xingfeng and others, and Peng Shihao was taken to Jinling along with Ma Xi'e and others!
Afterwards, Ma Xi'e was granted the title of Observer of Jiangnan West Road by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and died silently in Jinling a few years later. And Peng Shihao was named the border envoy of Chongshajing Town and the direct commander of the Tang Dynasty Palace. He later died in Jinling! But he could never return to his hometown of Barbarian Land! But his descendants have always stayed in their hometown and have enjoyed an autonomous world for more than 800 years.
Although it was not so magical at this time, Peng Shihao's prestige in the barbarian land was still irreplaceable. Therefore, Yang Laosan and Wu Yan understood that in places managed by the barbarians themselves, although there were troops stationed by Jiedushi Zhou Xingfeng, no matter who was left behind, they generally did not dare to do anything to the local barbarians, especially in The area near Xizhou, because this is an autonomous area headed by the Peng family, not to mention that Peng Shihao is still serving as an official in the Tang Dynasty.
As for the current area around Jianzhou, the barbarians have gradually been assimilated, which is relatively good, because there are mostly Miao and Dong people here. Although the native barbarians of the Peng family govern this area, they do not dare to attack the Miao family. , The Dong family went too far. So Zhou Xingfeng is more active here!
Especially now, the chieftain of Baojing is Peng Shihao's eldest son Peng Yunlin. Although he and his younger brother Peng Yunshu are young, they are young heroes of the barbarians, and they usually respond to each other. Although Zhou Xingfeng is now the military governor of Wuping, he is naturally the one who dares to act recklessly because he is beyond his reach!
Yang Shifan followed the team without any resistance, but his weapons were confiscated, and the Yunmeng Sword passed down by his sect was kept by Chang Weiguo. Because the prisoner must have the consciousness of being a prisoner, although it is not very useful for Yang Shifan to move his feet and tie his hands, the four powerful short crossbow arrows following him are undoubtedly a fatal threat, because the arrows Glowing blue light.
No matter how powerful Yang Shifan was, he would not dare to take the risk in front of the poisonous arrows, not to mention that he also knew that these people were not ordinary generals, and they would not kill him. As well as the captured soldiers around him, Yang Shifan didn't want them to suffer death because of him.
Not long after the team walked, they approached Jianzhou City from a distance. Guo Jing, who had returned to Jianzhou City in advance, was obviously ready. At this time, he had already led the crowd to greet them outside the newly built stone city gate. Chang Weiguo was even more excited when he saw it from a distance. After all, this was his first successful command, and Yang Shifan was also a close confidant of the captain of the bodyguard beside Zhou Xingfeng.
The huge stone building in front of us is a city gate rather than a village gate. Although there is a city wall nearly two feet high, it is made of local five-inch-thick stones. Moreover, the city wall is nearly five meters wide, and the entire wall tilts slightly from bottom to top, obviously to prevent outsiders from climbing up the wall. This continuous stone wall connects the houses in the stockade on both sides of the hillside and tightly surrounds the houses in the city wall. Moreover, these stones are beaten with rice pulp and lime, and the stones are sewn together tightly, which is no worse than the city walls in the mainland. In the south, this is really a huge project, but in the Central Plains, it's really nothing.
Now it seems that the various barbarian villages are gradually being connected together, and everyone is gradually seeing the benefits of using a village to form a city. Not only do these barbarians gather every day and exchange their harvests and prey with each other, but everyone's life will obviously get better. Although there are still some different voices in each tribe, under the strong occupation of the special operations team led by Guo Jing, and in the name of the great bandit leader of Xiangxi King, and the support given by the Han Dynasty court behind him, the differences between these people have The sound is gradually disappearing.
Yang Shifan looked at the dozens of warriors in bandit attire behind Guo Jing in surprise. Those firm eyes and overwhelming fighting spirit made Yang Shifan feel particularly surprised. Even the disciples trained by specialized Jianghu sects may not necessarily feel so strong, and my understanding of these people has reached a new level.
The last gaze naturally fell on the Hundred Poison King Zheng Tuo next to Guo Jing, and his eyes twitched automatically. Although he did not recognize who the Hundred Poison King Zheng Tuo was, knowing that it was this person just now put great pressure on him.
Although Zheng Tuo hid his aura, the state of a master cannot be imitated by ordinary people. Yang Shifan felt a pressure that he had never experienced before. The feeling hidden in that body was ethereal. This kind of pressure actually shocked him. It was similar to his master. What on earth did these bandits want to do? Yang Shifan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
Guo Jing actually did not restrict Lu Cun's freedom, and because of Yang Shifan's arrival, Lu Cun also came out to accompany him to welcome him. Looking at his senior brother who was not very skilled, with a somewhat helpless and lonely look in his eyes, and standing behind Guo Jing without daring to move, Yang Shifan instantly understood his situation and his own state.
Also coming to greet Chang Weiguo were the Black Miao Barbarian Lord Long Sheng, the Hua Miao Barbarian Lord Xiong Qi, the Tuman Barbarian Lord Du Fuguo, the Dong Barbarian Lord Huang Peng, and the White Miao Barbarian Lord Lei Zhen. They are all currently under the influence of The king of Xiangxi, Guo Jing, supported and helped, and gathered the relatively large branch of barbarians living in Zianzhou City. Now, as representatives, he accompanied Guo Jing to welcome Chang Wei's victory.
Because of the support behind the Han Kingdom, Guo Jing, the king of Xiangxi, can be said to be extremely ruthless. No one wants their ethnic group to be wiped out or merged. No matter whether they compromise or adapt to the opportunity, in the face of absolute power, it is the warlike bravery of the barbarians. I also understand why my arms cannot twist my thighs.
There are also these captured soldiers, trembling and trembling. Looking at these special forces and barbarians dressed like wolf-like bandits, they suddenly seem to fall into the abyss, sometimes they seem to see some hope, sometimes they feel that the end of the world is coming, and suddenly they feel like they are falling into the abyss. The willows are dark and the flowers are bright. It was as if he was no longer in the world, and he didn't know what fate was waiting for him.
They have heard all kinds of things about the barbarians. Some said that the captives were captured and fed to the poisonous insects. Some said that the captured prisoners were made into poisonous people one by one and used as puppets to fight in peacetime. Some said that the barbarians captured The captives ate it, and some said they caught the captives and killed them alive, salted them and dried them. Anyway, no one has agreed. These soldiers are basically the soldiers of the Ma family in Chudi. Even some of them are now the elite tattooed men under Zhou Xingfeng. Usually the barbarians have heard these things too much, and some of them have not left yet. When we arrived in Zianzhou City, we were so scared that we had to urinate and defecate. Even the better ones had weak legs and could not walk in fear.
No one could be as calm and composed as Yang Shifan, because Guo Jing and others were all dressed up as bandits, but they didn't know who they were. They just thought they were bandits who were persecuted by the Ma family and temporarily took refuge with the barbarians.
However, Yang Shifan saw that the people waiting for his group seemed to be headed by Guo Jing, who was wearing the same clothes. He also understood that bandits had no status at all in the barbarian areas, and only a few could survive. Seeing Guo Jing's calm demeanor at this time, I couldn't help but be surprised and worried!
Amid the complicated emotions of the people on all sides, everyone, led by Guo Jing, the king of Xiangxi, entered the newly built Jianzhou City together.
Lingnan.
Xingwangfu.
The side hall of Zhaoyang Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Looking at the complex but large-scale giant sand table map in front of him, Liu Jixing felt a little proud and a little happy, but more importantly, he was nostalgic for the memory of his later life.
The winter sun shines on his face, and it can be seen that his facial lines are getting clearer and clearer, and that he has lost his youthful youthfulness. Even Liu Jixing himself is a little surprised. He is becoming more and more like himself in later generations. At this time He no longer looks like a sixteen-year-old boy.
Shi Wu and Yang Jiong stood with their hands behind their hands, standing in front of the huge three-dimensional map made of sand table, with more surprise in their eyes. In their minds, Liu Jixing simply relied on the topography of various places collected and described by the secret party to accurately simulate and make a real-scale map. In the huge space of Zhaoyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, a special area was set up to create it. Both of them knew how significant the actual significance of this map was.
If Liu Jixing's continuous training of special operations soldiers and the continuous development of ship casting are a waste of money, no one will doubt that Liu Jixing is crazy and wants to develop and expand his territory. Now this sandbox can completely turn this ideal into reality. accomplish.
The reason why the war between the two countries in ancient times was difficult was firstly because of the underdevelopment of information, and secondly because of the unclear understanding of the terrain.
The effectiveness of the secret party founded by Liu Jixing allowed the two gangsters to see a different world. Nowadays, the rapid grasp of information and the wonderful ideas of Liu Jixing have strengthened the two people's support for Liu Jixing.
Now seeing the sand table Liu Jixing spent a long time playing with, the two of them were completely shocked.
This is a clear map including Jiaozhou, Dali, Shuzhong, Fujian, Southern Tang, and Wuyue. Every place is so clear that even people who have never been there feel like they are there.
With the help of Wang Yu and Xiao Yue, Liu Jixing quickly mastered the place names of this era. Compared with the place names of his later travels, although it is not 100% accurate, it is more than 99% accurate. If it is further improved, it will be completely like overlooking the borders of other countries from the air.
This depends on the merits of the secret party and Liu Jixing's own efforts. As expected, even Shi Wu and Yang Jiong were shocked.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of the sand table I made?" Liu Jixing looked at Shi Wu and Yang Jiong with a smile. Although he knew the result, Liu Jixing was still a little proud.
"It's a miraculous craftsmanship!" Yang Jiong stared closely at the details in the sand table.
"With this magical object, His Majesty's big plan will be realized soon!" Shiwu also said a few words, with no surprise in his eyes.
Liu Jixing was a little relieved, knowing that the two men were telling the truth. With such a three-dimensional structural diagram in this era, he was undoubtedly in an invincible position. In this era of underdeveloped information, whoever has clear maps and terrain will have an absolute advantage in military operations. Coupled with fast communication methods, it can often determine the outcome of a war.
You can use Dao Zun's advantages to process the information you have acquired. You can use your secret party to respond to Xia Qinghou and Xiao Yue's group to solve the resources in your hands. As the emperor, there are many impossible things. You can solve it easily here.
Liu Jixing has spent more than a year preparing for today's sand table, and there is no need to doubt everything.
The development of a country is nothing more than an economy, which is the driving force behind expansion of territory and war.
For the sake of economy, Liu Jixing asked Abbas to vigorously develop overseas business; secondly, he continued to attract and win over big merchants from the Central Plains region, using his Lingnan specialties and unique products designed by himself, so that these merchants flocked to the Han Dynasty. economic development.
The geography of Lingnan is unique, and secondly, agriculture. For the benefit of all the people of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jixing personally introduced Champa rice and successfully improved it. The most successful thing is the water storage and canal diversion, which completely eliminates the harm of the desert season and rainy season. In this way, not only can the people completely solve the problem of food and clothing in advance, but also make the people fully identify and belong to the imperial court.
The recognition of the growth of the imperial court and population had an inestimable impact on the development of the Han Dynasty.
The rapid economic development allowed Liu Jixing to be recognized by everyone, which promoted the smooth implementation of government affairs. Liu Jixing also successfully took over all the armies of the Han Dynasty. The measures taken by Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan and Zhongzong Liu Sheng and his son towards the army now seem to be undoubtedly correct.
Controlling Jiedushi's control over the army and transferring all control of the army to the imperial court undoubtedly allowed the emperor to regain control of the army. Liu Jixing did not have any dictatorial opinions. First of all, he established the Green Camp to replace previous training and trained a large number of special operations soldiers according to his own later methods.
Then came the establishment of the Military Academy, the cradle for cultivating junior commanders. The success of the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations was reproduced in the Han Dynasty in this era. Only by continuously strengthening the loyalty of grassroots commanders to the country and themselves can Liu Jixing have hope for the future.
The most successful thing is the development of the Han Dynasty Navy. Currently, Liu Jixing accurately controls twelve large-scale warships, and the number of four-story small warships has now reached twenty-eight. Liu Jixing is fully confident in his ability to deal with three-party naval wars at the same time. .
What's more, the Marines and Marines trained at the same time have already distinguished themselves in many wars. Liu Jixing has the ambition to make his team famous all over the world and create history.
"Don't ask for one day or another, ten years! Give me ten years, and I will definitely bring peace to the people of the world!" Liu Jixing looked at the sand table confidently. If he does not have a secret party, he will follow in the footsteps of Liu Yuan in history. He will not know until the Song Dynasty's army reaches Guangzhou. The feeling of waiting to die is really not good, and Liu Jixing will never let him appear.
Liu Jixing remembered the words of later generations Chai Rong, ten years! It's a pity that Chai Rong didn't wait for ten years of his own, but what about himself?
The sunlight was shining down, making the hall seem like a fairyland, and the figures of Liu Jixing and the three of them seemed even more unreal.
"Your Majesty! General Zhou Jian and his party of fifty-eight have arrived at Fengting Station, thirty miles away from the capital. Mr. Xue, the Minister of Rites, is asking for instructions from Your Majesty!" Gong Chengshu's voice sounded outside the palace.
Liu Jixing's eyes lit up, he took the hands of Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, and said loudly and cheerfully: "The hero of the Han Dynasty is back. How about you two gentlemen come with me to greet him!"
Shiwu looked at Liu Jixing with a hint of casual admiration in his eyes. Yang Jiong also smiled slightly and followed Liu Jixing out of the hall.
Now I know how great it would be if I had a mobile phone at this time! Communication will determine everything, war, life, events! What an impact it has! Liu Jixing naturally knew that it was impossible in this era, but now that he has Shi Wu and Yang Jiong around him, he is basically as good as having a mobile phone! Facing the sunshine, Liu Jixing was full of confidence and his face seemed to be full of sunshine.
