The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 103 Two Hundred Generals

north town.

The cavalry sent out of the city sent back the news from the surrounding area, and it was confirmed that the barbarians had retreated, but the forts were still guarded by barbarians.

Li Dazu survived the desperate situation, with great sorrow and great joy.

The sad thing is that in our own army, more than half of the veterans were killed or injured, and their strength was greatly damaged. This is the foundation of the Jinxianghou Mansion in Beizhen.

The joy is that Beizhen was finally defended.

Jinzhou has a good news, Beizhen has a good news, and Jinzhou has a good news.

All three parties are vying for the top spot.

Beizhen refused to face the front alone, losing troops and land. Now all the forts in Hebei are still in the hands of barbarians, and the remnants of Beizhen are unable to recover.

The biggest loss and the biggest controversy.

Li Dazu, Liaodong Jiedushi, deserved to be punished for his meritorious service.

In the Jinxianghou Mansion in the capital, Li Dazu's second brother went around looking for allies, played for his eldest brother Li Dazu, and supported Li Dazu. It was the first contribution to keep Liaoxi.

As for Jinzhou, he lost 2000 soldiers. Although he occupied Haizhou, he lost again. Is it a great achievement or a small victory?
Because in Tang Qing'an's military newspaper, the money and food obtained from the barbarians was less than 20 shi, so if he wanted to get the credit for cutting off the barbarians' food and grass and breaking the siege of Beizhen, his convincing power was not enough.

Brief history of Liaodong economics.

Because someone impeached him to see death and refuse to save him, it is a serious crime to sit back and watch the friendly army be trapped and not help.

And he believed that he was credited with being in the middle of dispatching, whether it was sending troops and supplies to Beizhen, or supplying the logistics of the Jinzhou soldiers, it was all his credit.

When the three parties' memorials were in full swing in the court, the Chief Secretary of Shandong also suddenly played them.

List the amount of grain, horses, beans, military equipment, money and silver transported to three places in Liaodong since last year.

Jinzhou Tang's deputy general led [-] ships to sea, of which more than [-] ships were dispatched successively by Denglai.

That being the case, the entire court hall became even more noisy, and there were discussions about Liaodong from top to bottom.

The Jinzhou side first grabbed credit, then began to complain, and finally asked the court for soldiers and supplies.

Among them, Shi Nai and Li Dazu fought fiercely, and they seemed to turn their faces again.

It turns out that over the past six months in western Liaoning, 18 troops have been re-recruited, of which 11 stayed in the Liaoxi Corridor and [-] stayed in Beizhen.

However, when the barbarians attacked Beizhen and the forts along the road surrendered, as many as [-] soldiers died, [-] defenders of Beizhen, and more than [-] casualties.

There are still [-] soldiers in the forts in the north of Beizhen, and there are less than [-] soldiers in total.

Shi Nai believed that Beizhen could not be the screen of western Liaoning, so he even asked to abandon Beizhen and garrison the western corridor of Liaoning with all his strength.

The topography of Liaoxi and Liaozuo is separated by Liaodong Bay on both sides into the shape of "Fan".

Beizhen is located at the top of the word "Fan". The terrain is not reliable, and it is far away from the west of Liaoning. The supply of materials is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The next time the barbarian army attacked Beizhen again, Jinzhou soldiers would not be able to take advantage of that opportunity to get that luck.

And Beizhen's unbearable performance against the barbarians no longer convinced Shi Nai.

The Great Zhou inherited the Great Ming, and the Great Wall stretched all the way to Zhenjiang Fort. However, when the old slave raided the land of the mutual market and obtained Tieling and Fushun, the Great Wall of Liaozuo was broken.

The Great Wall of Liaozuo lost its function, but the Liaoxi Corridor did not.

Relying on the Great Wall built on the mountains, the Liaoxi Corridor is called the Liaoxi Corridor because of this.

To the north is the Great Wall of Dangerous Mountains, and to the south is the sea.

Whether it is Jinzhou or Ningyuan in the rear, they are all dangerous cities, and it is not so easy to break through.

Therefore, Shi Nai wanted to rely on the favorable location and learn from Jinzhou to defend Liaoxi with all his strength, instead of wasting troops and material resources in Beizhen.

Li Dazu was furious, of course Shangshu objected.

The two bigwigs in Liaodong had a quarrel, and Tang Qing'an went to the shuffle again, asking Jinzhou to expand its troops and send more food, cattle, mules and horses.

Both Shi Nai and Li Dazu fully supported this matter in order to win him over.

Moreover, Tang Qing'an's role is clear to others if they don't know it. It is indeed the first contribution, but they are unwilling to let it go.

Restoring Jinzhou, even if Jinzhou repelled the barbarian attack, in the eyes of most courtiers, it is just an insignificant place.

It's not bad if you don't lose a corner of Pianan.

Even if there are a few censors who are unfamiliar, they think that the role of Jinzhou is huge and should not be underestimated by the court. One of the new censors is the most noisy. The court should increase the supply of Jinzhou. together.

Now that the old slave attacked Beizhen, Beizhen lost troops and generals, and lost a lot of land, while Liaoxi was besieged. The only bright spot on the entire battlefield was Jinzhou.

Golden State's status is indeed worth improving.

This is also the benefit of winning the battle.

It turned out that Jinzhou was a subsidiary of Liaoxi, but now it has been promoted to a first class, and it is directly supplied by Denglai instead of being dispatched by Shi Nai.

And agreed to Jinzhou's request to expand its troops by [-], and urged Jiangnan to supply cotton, cotton cloth, and silk and satin.

Tang Qing'an dared to expand the army only after the imperial court confirmed the military system of Jinzhou's [-] soldiers. Not only that, but the imperial court also agreed to Tang Qing'an's other request.

Tang Qing'an issued a military order to the imperial court, threatening Shandong with no barbarians allowed to go to sea.

Four thousand water divers from Zhejiang, 160 warships of various colors, [-] bird guns, [-] Fran cannons, and other firearms are not counted.

When the Zhejiang navy and the Jinzhou navy originally from Dengzhou joined forces, the number of sailors reached 8000, and there were more than 470 large and small warships.

The size of the Jinzhou navy has reached the sum of all the navy north of the Yangtze River.

After joining forces, the navy is also divided into three parts.

One is dominated by Zhejiang soldiers, guarding Liaodong Bay, and the other is dominated by Shen Yourong, guarding Jinzhou and Changxing Island.

The first part is mainly based on Yan Zhengzhong, responsible for the north of the Yellow Sea and the south of Liaozuo, and takes care of Liao people everywhere.

Sailors are installed.

Tang Qing'an began to expand his army.

The barbarians in Fuzhou City, influenced by Jinzhou's recapture of Haizhou, learned that Jinzhou soldiers had tens of thousands of soldiers who could fight without making a sound, so they completely shrank their defenses and retreated for more than a hundred miles. Luangu Pass.

The Jinzhou soldiers took advantage of the trend and recovered the heavy city of Xinjin. Without any effort, they won all the land within the original Jinzhou area.

Fifty miles to the north of Xinjin City is Luangu Pass, while the Red Tsui Fort and other forts to the east, and the longest Guifu Fort, which is hundreds of miles away, are all due to the proximity of the Yellow Sea, and the barbarians have also withdrawn their troops.

The Dingkou in these castles were either plundered, captured as slaves, or made into coats, and none of the original people survived.

However, when the banners of Jinzhou soldiers appeared in these places, people who hid in the mountains, countryside, and rivers came out to seek refuge.

The defense line established by the barbarians to prevent the Liao people from taking refuge in Jinzhou has completely disintegrated with the retreat of the Fuzhou barbarians.

Countless Liao people fled to Jinzhou with their families and mouths. Jinzhou can accommodate thousands of people every day. With the support of the Yellow Sea Navy, the population of Jinzhou City has skyrocketed.

Only one month, 23, 25, 28, 30, 31... According to the latest population statistics, Jinzhou has 37 people.

Almost doubled.

September.

The Golden State harvest began.

There are 60 acres of land in Jinzhou, nearly [-] acres in the islands of Liaodong Bay, and [-] acres of farmland in the islands of the Yellow Sea. In addition to the recovery of hundreds of miles of lost land, and the area east of Xinjin, there are still tens of thousands of acres of fields.

A total of more than 130 mu of fields were landed due to high yields or thalassemia. Until October, a total of [-] million shi of grain was harvested.

The 130 million shi of sorghum can produce more than [-] shi of rice grains.

However, shells are easy to store for a long time, so some of the 130 million shi of sorghum were sent to granaries in Jinzhou, some were sent to Changxing Island, and some were sent to Changshan Island.

After being so busy, by the end of October, the weather had turned cold, and Jinzhou was free to start a large-scale military expansion.

In the past year, starting from Guangfuzhou, the whole army has gone from small to large, especially in the round of Heishan, and has experienced hundreds of battles in various battles.

Some died, some were promoted, some were demoted, and some were even dismissed.

today.

There are more than two hundred generals and officers in Jinzhou, and they are crowded in the General Military Mansion.

Grain is the morale of the army.

The amount of grain harvested in Jinzhou this autumn is known to everyone, but no one has figured out the amount of supplies obtained from Haizhou.

In any case, as far as the abundance of food and grass is concerned, no matter whether it is the imperial court, western Liaoning, Mongolia, or barbarians, it is not as good as Jinzhou.

More than two hundred generals, big and small, were divided into several groups.

Fuzhou [-]st Department, Jinzhou [-]st Department, Donghaiying [-]st Department, Liaomin [-]st Department, etc., even the navy generals are divided into [-] departments.

Everyone was laughing and talking, discussing what arrangements the general will make next year, and which of his subordinates are more outstanding.

Those who had conflicts in the past will be extraordinarily generous in today's scene, and they will look at each other and smile after meeting inadvertently.

The noise even affected the streets outside the General Military Mansion.

In the entire Jinzhou City, due to the expansion of the city wall to the sea, the number of houses has also increased, and the population has reached more than [-].

Sell ​​firewood, sell pots and pans, sell needlework, sell cloth, sell water, sell baskets, sell fish...

Not only has it regained its vitality, but its scale is still several times that of before it fell to the barbarians.

However, the bald men all over the city look quite dazzling.

There was no way around this, the old slave ordered to shave his head as soon as he took over, leaving money and rat tails, and shaved his hair to make it easier for him to wear.

Now that the barbarians have been driven away, of course the money rat tails cannot be kept, and they all have their heads shaved.

Tang Qing'an walked out with a smile.

"The general is here."

The general's personal guards lined up in a row. Many of these fierce soldiers selected from the army had scars on their bodies, and many had scars on their foreheads and faces.

A group of people carried waist knives, although they looked lazy, they exuded a particularly fierce air.

"General."

"General."

All the generals, big and small, stopped talking at the same time, their eyes fell in one direction, and they shouted the same name.

Since the general went to sea, he has been amazingly talented and invincible. Even the famous old slave has suffered setbacks. He is indeed a world-renowned general.

Everyone has accumulated achievements by winning big and small battles, and most of them are promoted by generals or promoted.

Only one year.

The 19-year-old Tang Qing'an touched his bald chin under the eyes of everyone, thinking that he should grow a beard.

"I called you here, there is nothing else, everyone has worked hard for a long time, and now I have free time, please gather together.

I pay for the treat, and I invite everyone to have a meal at the General Military Mansion. Is there any wine today, and it is the royal wine sent by the court. "

After Tang Qing'an finished speaking, everyone looked happy.

Although the golden state has a good harvest, the prohibition on alcohol has not been lifted. Many people with alcohol addiction are really suffering.

"One more thing, that is, some people are going to be promoted, and some people stand still and watch others get promoted.

Since I became your commander-in-chief, although I am still a deputy, I think it is fair and just, so no one should be dissatisfied, right? "

Tang Qing'an looked at everyone with a smile.

No one dared to answer.

According to age, the youngest person here is only 17 years old, and the rank is low, just a small captain.

Tang Qing'an behaved very casually towards the generals whose average age was nearly 30 years old.
