The little princess of space where the concubine often eats
Chapter 68 The Beginning of the Meng Rebellion
Chapter 68 The Beginning of the Meng Rebellion
Qin Anan, who was struggling to get out of bed, had not had time to maintain his daily exercise when he heard the butler come to inform him that Prime Minister Feng had come to visit.
Qin Anan thought that since Ji Lingchen switched to the return mode, he had to report to the military camp every day, especially in the past few days.
However, Prime Minister Feng has helped King Jing's mansion a lot, both overtly and secretly, and he should thank him both emotionally and rationally.
Bringing a few maids, Qin Anan decided to take Feng Zhuoran to eat at the restaurant he owns, to thank him for his kindness, and to take care of his own business by the way. Been to the store to see it.
Feng Zhuoran was not as cold as he looked, and agreed very easy-goingly.
When I came to the hotel, I took out the VIP card, and went directly to the best private room, which is partitioned and soundproof, suitable for talking about things.
At the beginning, Pei Zihua said that he would use his fresh dishes to open a restaurant, and by the way, he told him some modern restaurant concepts that he had seen on TV before the end of the world. Of course, Qin Anan himself only knew how it was shown on TV and what effect it was. How to implement it was all left to Pei Zihua, but he didn't expect it to be very decent, and I had to admire his genius.
For example, the private room in front of you can be used by the highest bidder every day. There is a partition inside, and the service staff can only deliver messages in the outermost room. The serving and serving inside can be operated by yourself or in the store according to the needs of customers. The people here are most suitable for nobles and businessmen to discuss things here without worrying about leaking secrets.
The two sat down, and Qin Anan asked, "I don't know what dishes Prime Minister Feng likes, but are there any taboos or preferences?"
Feng Zhuoran silently looked at the surrounding layout and menu, and only came to his senses when he heard Qin Anan's question: "There are no taboos, I prefer spicy food."
"You also like spicy food?" Qin Anan said happily, "Then you are right to come here, chopped pepper fish head, boiled pork slices, abnormal spicy chicken wings, spicy chicken, the most recommended is spicy crayfish... . . . "
Qin Anan introduced it incessantly, salivating while introducing it, liking that he could already smell the aroma of the chili pepper, and his stomach grumbled in response to the occasion, Qin Anan felt that his little boy must be born as a snack , Every time I eat so much, my stomach growls after a while.
If the people next to her heard her heartfelt feelings, they would probably feel wronged for the future little master. Princess, you were able to eat so much before you became pregnant. Don't forget that your own reputation was all related to eating!Now I have the nerve to plant it on a child!How can the little master be so pitiful for having a mother like you!
Feng Zhuoran looked at her ecstatic expression, like a greedy cat about to drool, and unconsciously a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was fleeting, like a blooming epiphyllum.
After ordering the dishes, Qin Anan realized that he was here to invite Prime Minister Feng to eat to thank him, but he ordered so many dishes by himself, and said with a smile: "Well, Prime Minister Feng, order whatever you want, Qian Don't be polite to me, I am treating you today, you can do whatever you want, you must eat well."
"It's okay, I like what you ordered." Feng Zhuoran was still very easy-going.
"Okay, let's do this first." Qin Anan blinked, feeling that the rumors about Feng Zhuoran that Zhixia told him before were not true at all. The snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain is out of reach, and the thousand-year-old iceberg is true. Look, He is handsome, not to mention he has such a good temper, so should I tell him a partner and be a matchmaker?
Ever since they successfully matched Xiaoer's pair, Qin An'an has developed a strong interest in matchmaking, and the direct victims are Anyi and Zhixia, but who can say for sure about feelings, Anan is now in front of Zhixia every day Reporting, you can know that it is not without effect.
Feng Zhuoran felt that Qin An'an's eyes were a little strange now, as if he was looking at a commodity, and he was up for sale, but without malice, he unconsciously picked up the water glass and took a sip in a disguised way: "By the way, today is here, there is something to tell you"
"Ah? Oh, is there anything urgent?" Qin Anan came back to his senses and asked quickly.
"It might be a big deal for you." Feng Zhuoran pursed her lips.
"It's related to Meng Guo." Qin Anan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and realized that the only thing related to him recently was Meng Guo.
"Yes" is not as stupid as it looks, Feng Zhuoran thought.
"What's going on? Is it Feng Chen?" Qin An'an became restless.
"It's a long story, and we need to start with the history of the Meng Kingdom." Feng Zhuoran also stopped joking.
Among the many opposing countries of the Daxing Dynasty, there is a strong neighbor in the north that is very eye-catching, and that is Meng.In the past hundred years of Daxing, almost all the big and bad battles have been fought against Meng, and Meng has therefore become Daxing's main and most powerful opponent.This is the Meng Kingdom established by the Qiling Tribe.Meng country is a place with strong folk customs. Many of their customs come from Mongolia. Everyone is tough and aggressive, advocating force and respecting force.And all of this, to a large extent, has created a powerful army in Meng.This army started from an inconspicuous tribe at the beginning, defeated many powerful opponents, and created a glorious grassland empire. However, in recent decades, with the change of court, the royal family became weak, and the strength of Meng State was not as good as before. , coupled with Ji Lingchen's clever tactics, he was beaten back and forth, and became one of Daxing's vassal states.
The Kingdom of Meng was established by the Qiling tribe.The Qiling people were a nomadic people in the extreme north of the Central Plains a hundred years ago, originally a partial branch of the Mongolian people.The Qiling people originated from the Lamoron River Basin in Western Mongolia, and they are the southern descendants of the Mugui branch of the most famous fighting nation. The word "Qiling" means "镔铁" in the Qiling language, which symbolizes that the Qiling nation is as indestructible as iron.The Qiling tribe was very weak when it was first born.In the former dynasty, the people who were once beaten by the main regime almost perished.In order to protect the inheritance of their own nation, the Qiling tribe surrendered to the Mongols.In the early days of the former dynasty, feared by the strength of the empire, the Qiling tribe was the subjects of the powerful empire, and they were obliged to pay tribute and perform military service.
Later, the previous dynasty changed, and the rulers were violent and extravagant, and the war provoked by the founding emperor of Daxing gave the Qiling tribe a chance to buffer, and since then completely lost the ability to restrain the Qiling tribe. .At this time, the demise of the Mongolian Uighur State, and the backwardness and weakness of Nagus who replaced him, created a rare power vacuum for the Mongolian tribes.As a result, the Qiling tribe took the opportunity to rise and became the most powerful force in northern China.In the first year after the demise of the former dynasty, Baili Huangji, the leader of the Qiling tribal alliance (historical note: that is, the supreme commander of the Qiling tribal coalition forces, who holds military power), abolished the position of Khan Nagus and replaced him.In the following short 10 years, Baili Huangji unified the Qiling tribe and quelled the rebellion of the Qiling nobles. Baili Huangji abolished the original Qiling tribe's Khan election system and established a hereditary imperial power system following the Central Plains dynasty.Officially proclaimed the emperor and founded the country, and the name of the country was Meng.In a short period of time afterward, the Qiling tribe destroyed Bohai, the "prosperous country in the east of the sea" that had existed for more than 200 years.They successively conquered the rest of the tribes in the Mongolian plateau area. Only the Jurchen clan who knew the current affairs was a hero. He took refuge in Daxing and established his own regime, which has continued to this day. The wife of King Zhao is the daughter of the Khan of the Jurchen clan.
After the founding of the Meng Kingdom, it was ambitious and openly invaded Daxing repeatedly. Finally, when the first emperor was alive, he took advantage of the rebellion of the border guard general Jingyun and occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng in the south of Dongtu.At this point, the territory of the Qiling Empire was officially formed: the north crossed the North Sea and entered the land of icebergs, the west reached the desert, the east was close to the sea, and the south crossed the city and entered Daxing, facing the Daxing Dynasty across the river.Since Baili Huangji officially proclaimed the emperor and founded the country, the Qiling tribe established an unprecedentedly vast and powerful grassland empire in only 21 years.The entire land area exceeds 100 million square kilometers, and this empire is completely different from the previous nomadic regimes. It has stretched for hundreds of years, established its own economic culture, and created its own written history.The powerful Qiling clan dynasty not only shocked and prospered, but even some barbarian countries in the distance became its vassal states.In many places, the Qiling tribe even replaced Daxing's orthodox position in the Central Plains and became a symbol of prosperity.And all of this is largely due to the Qiling tribe's advocacy of force, which has created a situation where all the people are fighters.
The reason why King Jing is called the God of War is that when King Jing was 13 years old, he regained the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, drove the Qiling tribe out of Daxing's territory, and suppressed them to death. Half a step across Yuecheng.
The prosperity of Bangladesh should first start with the military system of Bangladesh.
Mon is a nomadic country.His military system not only has the characteristics of the Central Plains dynasty, but also inherits the traces of the nomadic tribal era.The predecessor of the Meng army was the armed forces of the Qiling tribal alliance before the founding of the country.Before the unification of the Qiling nationality, it was a loose tribal alliance composed of eight tribes, and each tribe had its own independent armed forces.These independent armed forces fight independently in peacetime, and form a coalition under the name of the alliance "Khan" in wartime, and the supreme leader is the Khan.The family that created the Baili Huangji in Meng State was the hereditary Khan of the Qiling Tribal Alliance.The Khan is a courtier of the Great Khan in name, but in fact the power is almost independent of the Khan.The Khan has only nominal executive power.As a result, the Khan who had the military power gradually made the Khan a puppet.The biggest disadvantage of the armed forces of the tribal alliance is that they have no unity and belong to the most typical militia.Therefore, after the founding of the country, Baili Huangji set out to establish a sound military system and a basically fixed armed force.
It is surprisingly similar to the Daxing Royal Family.The family of the founding emperor of Meng Kingdom, Baili Huangji, was not the head of the Qiling clan.It is because of serving as a hereditary khan.Only by mastering the military power of the Qiling tribe's tribal alliance, finally abolished the original Khan's usurpation and unified the whole tribe.Therefore, Baili Huangji attached great importance to the control of military power.With the assistance of the Han talents who took refuge in him and his own ministers, a complete set of military and political systems was established.The emperor of the Qiling clan or the queen mother of Zhangchao is the supreme military commander of the country, who directly controls all things related to the construction of the army, and is solely in charge of the establishment, mobilization and command of the army.This is exactly the same as the dynasty established in the Central Plains.But after all, it is impossible for the emperor to cover everything by himself, so he set up a special agency as an assistant.
Under the emperor, the Qiling tribe established the South and North Military Academy as the highest military decision-making body.The Northern Military Academy is located in the homeland of the Qiling Tribe, and its predecessor was the military organization that unified the former Baili Huangji.Therefore, it is the highest military administrative body of the empire, which is in charge of the military power of the whole country.The Southern Army Aircraft Academy is affiliated to the Northern Army Aircraft Academy, which is responsible for military affairs in Han areas such as Yuecheng Sixteen Prefectures.In particular, it specializes in managing the "Han Army" composed of Han people.The status and level are far inferior to the North Army Aircraft Academy
The highest officers of the Southern and Northern Military Aviation Institutes are the Southern and Northern Military Captains, who are responsible for military affairs in the northern and southern regions of the empire, and are directly responsible to the Qiling Clan Emperor.The emperor controlled the national army through the South and North Army Aircraft Academy.Such important positions related to the survival of the royal family and the country will naturally not fall to outsiders.The captains of the southern and northern armies were entirely composed of nobles from the two major families of the Qiling clan, the Baili clan and the Xiao clan.For example, the grandmother of the sixth prince, Baili Chenfeng, was the Empress Dowager Chengtian of the Qiling Clan Empire Xiao Clan, and the father of Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Siwen, had successively served as the captain of the South and North Academy military.
In addition, in addition to the South and North Military Aircraft Academy, there is another kind of official position in Meng that is very valuable.This is the North and South King's Court.And the masters of the North and South King's Courts are the Great King of the Qiling Clan's North Courtyard and the King of the South Courtyard!All the successive prime ministers of our Daxing think that we must be clear about one thing, that is, to the emperor of the Qiling clan, the significance of the King of the North Court and the King of the South Court is extraordinary!Because the northern and southern royal courts are under the jurisdiction of the Qiling emperor's own Baili clan!
After defeating a series of internal rebellions, the founding emperor Baili Huangji strengthened his control over the Baili tribe.Divide the Bailishi Tribe into the North and the South, and this is the later North and South Dawangyuan.The King of the North Court and the King of the South Court are the emperor's own stewards.It directly controls the royal tribe and holds key core forces including the Royal Guards.It can even be said that he directly controls the life and death of the royal family!Therefore, it is only responsible to the emperor or the empress dowager, not to the state power, and is completely appointed by the emperor or the empress himself.Its actual power and status surpassed that of the captains of the South and North armies.
Under this, Meng Guo also set up a command and envoy of the guards and soldiers, which is responsible for guarding the defense of the five important cities of Meng Guo.Because it is the economic lifeline city of Meng State, its chiefs are all princes and nobles of the Qiling clan royal family or descendants.The commander of the bodyguards and pro-armies is responsible for dispatching the defenders in the border area, and the military officers at all levels are under it.
In the early days, the Spirit had no formal standing army.The Qiling people are the most typical nomadic people, so their military structure is similar to those established by other nomadic regimes such as Jurchen. The Qiling tribe is all soldiers.All men between the ages of 15 and 40 are registered by the chiefs or officials of the tribe, and they are all included in the army.They usually graze and produce, and once a war breaks out, they will immediately join the army with their own horses, weapons and rations under the leadership of their chiefs or officials by "counting registration".This system runs through the entire Qiling Empire, and its advantage is that it can quickly gather a large number of troops in a short period of time.But the disadvantages are also significant.First of all, such an army needs to be recruited and assembled on the spot. The country does not have a formal and large standing army, so it cannot cope with sudden large-scale wars.And these temporarily recruited troops belong to the most typical militias, lacking training and having uneven combat effectiveness.
The most important thing is that due to historical restrictions, the powerful ministers of the Qiling clan, the nobles, especially the clan princes and kings all have their own standing armed forces.It can range from hundreds to tens of thousands!The standing army controlled by the emperor or royal family was very limited.This directly led to the vicious incidents in which nobles, especially clan princes and kings, relied on their own private forces to launch rebellions and threaten the imperial power in the early days of the Meng Kingdom!In order to preserve their strength and seize power, the princes either did not send troops or sent fewer troops, or after sending troops, they had different intentions before the battle, or even faced the enemy and took the opportunity to kill the king and usurp the throne!
In addition, when the Qiling tribe established a country, especially after they officially entered the Central Plains.The emperor of the Qiling tribe himself began to be influenced by the intellectuals of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and he had an extremely deep understanding of the relationship between imperial power and military power and the significance of the standing army of the Central Plains.Therefore, the establishment of a regular standing army directly under the Qiling Emperor himself became a top priority.The infantry, which was originally used as the royal guard, was a rare standing force of the Qiling clan in the early days.It has played an important role in previous wars and counter-insurgency.As a result, the size of the infantry expanded rapidly, and its responsibilities changed significantly.It eventually became the most important large regular standing army in the country.
Qiling nobles or important ministers have always distrusted the Han or other ethnic groups in the military.Therefore, infantry soldiers are mainly selected from the eight major tribes of the Qiling tribe.Every year, the state regularly sends officials to select strong and strong men from various tribes to supplement the infantry.After training, it will be equipped by the state and distributed to various military towns or nobles and ministers.Therefore, the infantry also became in a sense the personal arms of these people.But the infantry only belonged to the soldier himself, and could not be inherited or hereditary.Once the soldier in charge dies, his infantry will be transferred to the national army.In addition, as the Qiling tribe entered the Central Plains, they began to contact a large number of Han people.It also began to select a small number of Han Chinese who were loyal to the Qiling tribe to join the infantry.But the relatively small number of soldiers does not constitute the main force.
As the trump card force of the country, the infantry's weapons and equipment are first-class.The Qiling tribe is far inferior to the Central Plains in terms of metallurgical technology, but they have captured a large number of Han craftsmen in previous wars, and later invaded the technologically advanced Sixteen Prefectures of Yuecheng, and made great progress in metallurgy and other military technology.The infantry is all cavalry.Equipped with bows, iron machetes and spears.Soldiers have iron armor, and many horses are also covered with vests made of leather, metal, and leather. They are basically heavy armored cavalry.The infantry is equipped with the most common Mongolian horse.The disadvantages of Mongolian horses are their short stature, low load capacity and explosive power, and slow charge speed.But the advantage is that it has strong endurance and can run long distances for a long time.Not picky eaters and highly adaptable to the environment!It can be suitable for all kinds of harsh environments and feeds, and even in the ice and snow, use horseshoes to shave snow to find food.Usually, a soldier of the Qiling tribe has multiple war horses for transfer, and their speed and mobility are very powerful.
The Noble Maharajah Army is the oldest armed force in Mon.His predecessor was actually a private armed force that unified the nobles of the various tribes of the former Qiling tribe.The Qiling have the same traditions as other nomadic peoples.Each tribe, ranging from chiefs to leaders, all have their own independent armed forces, which are actually private parts.In order to reduce resistance in the process of Baili Huangji's unification of the Qiling clan, he did not eliminate all these old nobles.Instead, it adopts the strategy of combining fight and pull to treat them differently.Especially in order to win the support of the upper nobles of the Qiling clan to stabilize people's hearts, Baili Huangji has completely preserved the tradition of the nobles owning private arms.
After the founding of the Qiling tribe, the system of nobles' private military support was completely preserved.Moreover, these nobles all have their own territories, cattle, horses and people.The result of this is that many nobles, especially the princes of the two most prominent Qiling clan royal families, the Baili family and the Hou family Xiao family, have a large number of private armed forces.These armed forces are completely owned by the nobles themselves, and the soldiers mainly come from their subordinates and even slaves.Organized, trained and maintained by themselves.From hundreds to thousands!
In the early days of the Meng Kingdom, the influence of the traditional system of the Qiling people was very strong, especially the nobles tried their best to maintain private arms in order to protect their own interests.These armies were always the private property of the nobility.Once a war breaks out in the country, the emperor will issue a conscription order to the princes and nobles.The nobles are obliged to send troops or lead troops to fight in person.And not only send people, but also provide the horses, armor, weapons and rations needed by the soldiers.In the event of battle casualties, the emperor will give appropriate financial compensation.The nobles who sent troops, especially the nobles who personally led the troops, had the priority to plunder during the war, and had the priority to choose spoils such as treasures or slaves after the war.At that time, the regular army of the Qiling Nationality was limited in size and number, and the military system still had a strong old style.Therefore, the aristocratic royal army became an important source of the army and became the main force of Meng's early foreign troops.It played an extremely important role in the military and national politics of Bangladesh at that time.
The armies of noble princes were not under the control of the government, so they were often used as a tool of rebellion by the kings.All the kings were born in the royal family or descendants, and the throne is so attractive that no one would want to become addicted to the emperor.Now that he has money, land and soldiers, it is logical to use this to launch a rebellion.Ever since, in all the civil strife in Bangladesh, especially in the early days of the founding of the country, the noble princes and princes' army were all the backbone without exception.Killings between the noble princes' army and the royal army will occur at every turn.However, a large number of troops were scattered outside the central control, posing an extremely serious threat to the stability of the central government and imperial power.Therefore, how to deal with the usurping of the throne by the kings has become the most terrible event for the emperors of the Qiling clan in all dynasties.
Starting from Baili Xiaochuo, the last generation of the Qiling Clan emperor, the Meng Kingdom began large-scale reforms, the focus of which was to attack and weaken the private forces of the kings.Such a fatal move naturally aroused fierce resistance from the kings.In this regard, part of the suppression and division and rule have weakened the power of the kings to a large extent.
Although Baili Xiaochuo has a literary and martial arts strategy, he is really powerless, and he dare not shake it fundamentally - because this directly involves the fundamental interests of the entire Qiling ethnic group's upper group, and has a powerful force that cannot be eradicated.If Baili Xiaochuo is really like this, she will fight against the entire Qiling clan noble group!This is obviously unthinkable.In fact, Baili Xiaochuo was really helpless - he tried his best to frighten the kings.
Before the Qiling people entered the Central Plains, they had already captured a large number of Han people in the war.In addition to serving as slaves, in order to make up for the shortage of their own army, the Qiling tribe incorporated some Han people into the army.At the beginning, they were also mixed with soldiers from other ethnic groups.But when Meng State occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, the Han population in Meng State expanded rapidly.As a result, an army dominated by Han people began to be formed, which was the Meng Guo Han Army.Divided by time, the Meng Han army can be divided into two parts.One is the old Han army formed in the northern region before occupying the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng.After occupying the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, because the local area is in the south of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains.Therefore, the new army formed by the local Han people was officially named "Shannan Han Army".This army constituted the main body of the Qiling Han army in the future.The equipment of the Han army is the worst.The worst food, poor quality weapons and lack of protective equipment, basically a light infantry.
The Han army constituted the basic main body of the Meng army's infantry and undertook the most arduous war with the heaviest casualties.But in the Meng army, the lowest status and the worst treatment.Because the Qiling people are the most typical minority regime, they have never trusted the Han people.Not only was the equipment of the Han army backward and the treatment was the worst, but the middle and senior officers were all served by Qiling people or ethnic groups close to the Qiling tribe such as Bohai. Han people could only serve as low-level officers in the Meng army.The Qiling officers' discrimination against Han soldiers was extremely cruel.The Han army was only treated as cannon fodder or even slaves.Beating, scolding and bullying are commonplace, and they may be killed at every turn.
Therefore, the ethnic conflicts in the Meng army are extremely sharp!The direct consequence was that the early Han army often mutinied.
These troops constitute the main body of the Meng army.But none of them are the most elite force of the Qiling Empire.Like the Song Dynasty, the most elite and vigorous armed force in the entire Qiling Empire is also directly and personally controlled by the Qiling Emperor himself or the Queen Mother Zhangchao.This is the world-famous cavalry of the imperial family of the Qiling Clan Empire!
The predecessor of Yuzhang Qinqi was Baili Huangji's personal guard when he was Khan.As the name suggests.The imperial tent pro-riders refer to the personal guards of the imperial guards guarding the emperor of the Qiling clan or the imperial tents used by the empress dowager!The members of this army are all members of the Qiling tribe, and they are composed of one in a thousand members of the tribe who are directly under the emperor.The military officers are appointed entirely by the emperor or the queen mother, and are entirely from the royal family Baili and the descendant Xiao family.The high-ranking military officers are all from the Baili family, the purpose is to ensure absolute loyalty to the emperor.In the early days of the founding of the country, the population of the Qiling tribe was small, and the selection of soldiers was extremely strict, so the total force of the imperial tent pro-cavalry has always hovered around 2.But they are all elite soldiers.
The Qiling tribe's metallurgy and military technology are relatively backward, but as the emperor's personal and direct relatives, they are armed with all their strength at all costs.Therefore, the weapons, equipment and treatment of the royal tent cavalry are the strongest.Steel armaments are definitely a luxury in the Qiling army, and usually only officers are qualified to use them.But the imperial tent cavalry actually popularized the steel ordnance made by the captured Central Plains craftsmen.Different from the iron armor equipped by the infantry, the imperial tent cavalry are all heavily armored cavalry!The soldier has a steel helmet.It is covered with layered fish-scale steel armor!On the front and back of the chest, there are two heart-covering mirrors with a thickness of two millimeters, which are full of dinner plates.The horses also wear vests.The inside of the vest is leather, the outside is a layer of iron fish scale armor, and the horse's head is also wearing an iron mask.
In terms of weapons, the imperial tent cavalry is equipped with advanced steel swords and spears and powerful compound bows, which far exceed the ordinary iron weapons of other armies in terms of range and chopping power.The most important thing is that the horses of the royal tent are extremely special.Not the dwarf Mongolian horses commonly used by the Meng army.Instead, they are all armed with the famous pure blood BMWs from the Western Regions.Compared with the dwarf Mongolian horses, Yichun sweat-blooded horses are tall and handsome in appearance and strong in physique.Even in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as the best war horse, and it is also the most suitable horse breed in the Central Plains as a mount for heavy cavalry.The "Tianma" that has been passed down through the ages in Tang poetry refers to the Ili-Kazakh pure sweat horse.
The imperial cavalry attaches great importance to daily training, and its training can even be described as cruel.Including bow and crossbow shooting, close combat skills with sword and spear, riding training, and long-distance marching.As the emperor's pro-army, with excellent equipment and excellent soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the royal tent's pro-cavalry can be imagined!Xiang is famous for his ferocity, tyranny, bravery and good fighting skills.No matter how powerful the enemy is, even if they know that they will die, both humans and horses are extremely vigorous and never back down, with a strong desire to fight!In normal times, the royal tent cavalry who specialize in guarding the royal palace tent seldom participate in battles.But once faced with a crisis situation, it is often used as a trump card to turn the tide.
In all subsequent wars of invasion of the Song Dynasty, the imperial tent cavalry played an important role, but there were also times of embarrassment.It was during the battle of King Jing's fame that the Meng Emperor brought his most trusted and beloved prince, Baili Yufeng, and led 10 royal tents and horses to conquer Yuecheng, crossing Yishui and attacking Yuecheng in an attempt to regain his own. of glory.But they met Ji Lingchen, a tactical genius, and the 10 Meng army successively used ladders, building cars, siege towers, charging cars, and tunnels.Under the cover of hundreds of long-range heavy artillery and tens of thousands of archers, thousands of overwhelming onslaughts were launched in the form of three-dimensional cluster attacks, all of which were defeated.
At a critical moment, the red-eyed Emperor Meng made a desperate move and invested 5 of the most elite imperial tent cavalry to form a death squad.In order to boost morale, Emperor Meng Guo put on an armor and war robe and went to the battlefield to beat drums and supervise the battle in person.His son, Liao Baili Yufeng, came to the front line to pour wine for the Death Squad in a royal robe!In the past, the royal tent riders have fulfilled their missions as expected.But this time the Emperor Meng made a big miscalculation.The imperial tent cavalry is the most typical heavy armored cavalry, with unparalleled attack power, which can ensure the defeat of all opponents in plain field battles.However, these nomadic Qiling knights have never been good at climbing ladders to attack cities.Facing the outcome of the city's attack and defense in the Central Plains, one can imagine that the royal cavalry, as before, fearless of life and death, brandished machetes and howled towards Suicheng.But when they got under the city wall, they became extremely clumsy and didn't know how to fight at all. Many people climbed ladders and were even clumsier than a bear walking a tightrope.As a result, it became a living target for the defenders to attack.Under the dense rain of arrows and flying stones, the 5 imperial tent cavalry were basically wiped out.The most elite trump card of the Qiling tribe suffered the worst blow since its birth, and fell to the ground under the hands of King Jing.
The emperor of Meng State was devastated after returning to Meng State, and was sick in bed for more than several months.The Xiao family, who were already dissatisfied with the prince's lineage, took the opportunity to incite the forces in the court, elected Baili Chenfeng to the throne, and drove Baili Yufeng to the throne and expelled him from the country.
Having said that, I still want to tell you about the relationship between the previous generation of the Meng Kingdom royal family.
The current emperor of the Meng Kingdom is not a child of the Xiao family. The Empress Dowager Chengtian has no children, so she chose a child from among the concubines as her heir to raise. As a result, the concubine hid her identity. She was from the Baili clan. After the emperor of the country ascended the throne, he was manipulated by the family members to suppress the power of the Xiao clan and suppress the main controlling force of the Xiao clan. All the Xiao clan members restrained their power and disappeared.
The former prince Baili Yufeng was born of the queen of the Baili family, and he also inherited the belligerence and strength of the Baili family, so he was favored and trusted by the emperor of Meng. A large number of imperial power directly under the army lost control of the capital. Coupled with the impact of the defeat, the royal family suffered heavy losses. The Xiao family got the news and took the opportunity to control the military power in Kyoto. The evidence captured Baili Yufeng, and he planned to take the opportunity to kill him to prevent future troubles. Unexpectedly, Baili Yufeng was not a fool. He sensed something was wrong before entering the city, and he ran to other fiefs in disguise. The method subdued the noble kings of the Qiling clan, and now they are leading the army of the noble kings of the Qiling clan to form a confrontation with the Xiao clan in the capital.
The Xiao clan who stayed in the capital elected Baili Chenfeng as the next prince to inherit the glory of the Xiao clan, but with the former prince around, it was difficult to achieve their goals for a while, coupled with internal struggles, in the long run, Meng country's economy has caused great damage, the people are struggling to survive, and the people complained. As a last resort, Baili Chenfeng intends to surrender and Daxing, to fight for opportunities for himself, to cooperate to defeat Baili Yufeng, and only then has the current marriage situation .
Qin An'an looked at Feng Zhuoran thoughtfully, these could be regarded as the secrets of Meng Guo, and he was able to find out!
Feng Zhuoran seemed to know what she was thinking, and answered her patiently: "You are thinking about these are the secrets of the Meng Kingdom, and how did I know?"
Qin An'an was a little embarrassed. When someone came to help him, he still doubted him: "I'm just curious. Prime Minister Feng, don't take it to heart."
"You should have doubts. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the reason. I have to consider their safety, but you can rest assured that the news is absolutely true. I'm afraid that even the emperor may not know the truth about Meng's marriage. , The reason why I told you so much today is because the war is about to begin." Feng Zhuoran waved his hand indifferently.
"War?" Qin Anan didn't expect it to be the news, and froze in place for a while, Ah Chen is the god of war and the main force of the general. If there is really a war, wouldn't it be....
"That's right, that's how it is. In less than 10 days, there must be news from the border. Baili Yufeng is already planning this operation in an attempt to capture Yuecheng and break up the alliance between Baili Chenfeng and Daxing. He believes that Baili Yufeng Li Chenfeng would not tell Emperor Daxing about the status quo of Meng Kingdom, after all, Daxing's current strength has just taken the opportunity to take down Meng Kingdom in one fell swoop, and they are in a state of internal disintegration, so they are naturally not Daxing's opponent." Feng Zhuoran said while making tea, The movements are smooth and flowing, which is really beautiful, "As the marriage partner, Baili Mengdie and the envoy Baili Chenfeng are still in Daxing, but there is news that the Meng Kingdom has attacked Yuecheng from the border town. What do you think will happen to Baili Chenfeng? ? This trick is good for killing people with a borrowed knife, but what Baili Chenfeng was doing before arriving in Daxing capital early, and who he was with, I haven't found it yet. I believe it is convenient here. King Zhao is more convenient than my forces. and fast."
"I understand. I will tell you the news when I go back—my lord. I also want to thank Prime Minister Feng for reminding me. I don't know how to be grateful for this kindness." Qin Anan almost called Ji Lingchen privately.
"How do you want to be grateful?" Suddenly, Feng Zhuoran asked.
"Ah?" Qin An'an felt that he must have heard it wrong, and he was so dignified that he looked like a bright moon, and asked himself for a reward? !It must be an auditory hallucination. Qin An'an picked up the boiling water in front of him and prepared to suppress the shock.
I heard Feng Zhuoran say it again leisurely: "I said how do you want to thank me?"
Puff——The water that Qin Anan hadn't swallowed was sprayed on Feng Zhuoran who was facing him. Although the guard next to him covered his face with a fan in time, quite a few drops of water still fell on the front of his front. , making people daydream.
The people in the room froze in place for a moment, and they couldn't help but control the corners of their mouths not to reveal their smiles when they realized it.
Qin Anan looked dumbfounded at the expressionless face in front of him, picked up his handkerchief stiffly, tried to ignore the dark guard's murderous eyes, and wiped it for him indiscriminately: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just I lost my mouth for a moment, hahahaha"
Feng Zhuoran: "It's okay, add the information I gave you, and repay me together!"
Qin Anan: ...
Want to cry but have no tears, the debt has not been paid off, and even add a new debt, let yourself go to drink tea.
Make a pitiful gesture: "Here, Prime Minister Feng, look, I'm penniless, I'm too poor, I still pay you on credit for this meal, I really can't afford to repay your great kindness, how about I'll format my brain again, and I'll just pretend I didn't hear what you said."
"Hehehe" Feng Zhuoran chuckled softly, like a hundred flowers blooming, everyone in the room stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of them, and couldn't bear to break this rare scene in a thousand years.
I really don't know why she can always think of these weird notes, formatting, but she didn't hear it, only she dared to say that in front of her, Feng Zhuoran thought, but she didn't realize that she actually laughed out loud, "Princess, don't be so flustered. It's just that Feng has been unforgettable since I heard the song that day. I've inquired many times. No one has ever heard such a melody. It must be the exclusive secret skill of the princess. I don't know if the princess can give up this song. Write it down and give it to Feng, even if the concubine pays off the debt, how about it?"
"That's it? Hahahaha, let me tell you earlier, no problem, I will send the song to Prime Minister Feng's mansion in two days." Qin Anan agreed without hesitation when he heard such a simple condition. Anyway, the song is based on the end of the world. Composer, no one knows.
I wrote Meng Guo with the Liao Kingdom as the background. I checked a little historical data, and if there is something wrong, please feel free to correct me ^_^
(End of this chapter)
Qin Anan, who was struggling to get out of bed, had not had time to maintain his daily exercise when he heard the butler come to inform him that Prime Minister Feng had come to visit.
Qin Anan thought that since Ji Lingchen switched to the return mode, he had to report to the military camp every day, especially in the past few days.
However, Prime Minister Feng has helped King Jing's mansion a lot, both overtly and secretly, and he should thank him both emotionally and rationally.
Bringing a few maids, Qin Anan decided to take Feng Zhuoran to eat at the restaurant he owns, to thank him for his kindness, and to take care of his own business by the way. Been to the store to see it.
Feng Zhuoran was not as cold as he looked, and agreed very easy-goingly.
When I came to the hotel, I took out the VIP card, and went directly to the best private room, which is partitioned and soundproof, suitable for talking about things.
At the beginning, Pei Zihua said that he would use his fresh dishes to open a restaurant, and by the way, he told him some modern restaurant concepts that he had seen on TV before the end of the world. Of course, Qin Anan himself only knew how it was shown on TV and what effect it was. How to implement it was all left to Pei Zihua, but he didn't expect it to be very decent, and I had to admire his genius.
For example, the private room in front of you can be used by the highest bidder every day. There is a partition inside, and the service staff can only deliver messages in the outermost room. The serving and serving inside can be operated by yourself or in the store according to the needs of customers. The people here are most suitable for nobles and businessmen to discuss things here without worrying about leaking secrets.
The two sat down, and Qin Anan asked, "I don't know what dishes Prime Minister Feng likes, but are there any taboos or preferences?"
Feng Zhuoran silently looked at the surrounding layout and menu, and only came to his senses when he heard Qin Anan's question: "There are no taboos, I prefer spicy food."
"You also like spicy food?" Qin Anan said happily, "Then you are right to come here, chopped pepper fish head, boiled pork slices, abnormal spicy chicken wings, spicy chicken, the most recommended is spicy crayfish... . . . "
Qin Anan introduced it incessantly, salivating while introducing it, liking that he could already smell the aroma of the chili pepper, and his stomach grumbled in response to the occasion, Qin Anan felt that his little boy must be born as a snack , Every time I eat so much, my stomach growls after a while.
If the people next to her heard her heartfelt feelings, they would probably feel wronged for the future little master. Princess, you were able to eat so much before you became pregnant. Don't forget that your own reputation was all related to eating!Now I have the nerve to plant it on a child!How can the little master be so pitiful for having a mother like you!
Feng Zhuoran looked at her ecstatic expression, like a greedy cat about to drool, and unconsciously a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was fleeting, like a blooming epiphyllum.
After ordering the dishes, Qin Anan realized that he was here to invite Prime Minister Feng to eat to thank him, but he ordered so many dishes by himself, and said with a smile: "Well, Prime Minister Feng, order whatever you want, Qian Don't be polite to me, I am treating you today, you can do whatever you want, you must eat well."
"It's okay, I like what you ordered." Feng Zhuoran was still very easy-going.
"Okay, let's do this first." Qin Anan blinked, feeling that the rumors about Feng Zhuoran that Zhixia told him before were not true at all. The snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain is out of reach, and the thousand-year-old iceberg is true. Look, He is handsome, not to mention he has such a good temper, so should I tell him a partner and be a matchmaker?
Ever since they successfully matched Xiaoer's pair, Qin An'an has developed a strong interest in matchmaking, and the direct victims are Anyi and Zhixia, but who can say for sure about feelings, Anan is now in front of Zhixia every day Reporting, you can know that it is not without effect.
Feng Zhuoran felt that Qin An'an's eyes were a little strange now, as if he was looking at a commodity, and he was up for sale, but without malice, he unconsciously picked up the water glass and took a sip in a disguised way: "By the way, today is here, there is something to tell you"
"Ah? Oh, is there anything urgent?" Qin Anan came back to his senses and asked quickly.
"It might be a big deal for you." Feng Zhuoran pursed her lips.
"It's related to Meng Guo." Qin Anan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and realized that the only thing related to him recently was Meng Guo.
"Yes" is not as stupid as it looks, Feng Zhuoran thought.
"What's going on? Is it Feng Chen?" Qin An'an became restless.
"It's a long story, and we need to start with the history of the Meng Kingdom." Feng Zhuoran also stopped joking.
Among the many opposing countries of the Daxing Dynasty, there is a strong neighbor in the north that is very eye-catching, and that is Meng.In the past hundred years of Daxing, almost all the big and bad battles have been fought against Meng, and Meng has therefore become Daxing's main and most powerful opponent.This is the Meng Kingdom established by the Qiling Tribe.Meng country is a place with strong folk customs. Many of their customs come from Mongolia. Everyone is tough and aggressive, advocating force and respecting force.And all of this, to a large extent, has created a powerful army in Meng.This army started from an inconspicuous tribe at the beginning, defeated many powerful opponents, and created a glorious grassland empire. However, in recent decades, with the change of court, the royal family became weak, and the strength of Meng State was not as good as before. , coupled with Ji Lingchen's clever tactics, he was beaten back and forth, and became one of Daxing's vassal states.
The Kingdom of Meng was established by the Qiling tribe.The Qiling people were a nomadic people in the extreme north of the Central Plains a hundred years ago, originally a partial branch of the Mongolian people.The Qiling people originated from the Lamoron River Basin in Western Mongolia, and they are the southern descendants of the Mugui branch of the most famous fighting nation. The word "Qiling" means "镔铁" in the Qiling language, which symbolizes that the Qiling nation is as indestructible as iron.The Qiling tribe was very weak when it was first born.In the former dynasty, the people who were once beaten by the main regime almost perished.In order to protect the inheritance of their own nation, the Qiling tribe surrendered to the Mongols.In the early days of the former dynasty, feared by the strength of the empire, the Qiling tribe was the subjects of the powerful empire, and they were obliged to pay tribute and perform military service.
Later, the previous dynasty changed, and the rulers were violent and extravagant, and the war provoked by the founding emperor of Daxing gave the Qiling tribe a chance to buffer, and since then completely lost the ability to restrain the Qiling tribe. .At this time, the demise of the Mongolian Uighur State, and the backwardness and weakness of Nagus who replaced him, created a rare power vacuum for the Mongolian tribes.As a result, the Qiling tribe took the opportunity to rise and became the most powerful force in northern China.In the first year after the demise of the former dynasty, Baili Huangji, the leader of the Qiling tribal alliance (historical note: that is, the supreme commander of the Qiling tribal coalition forces, who holds military power), abolished the position of Khan Nagus and replaced him.In the following short 10 years, Baili Huangji unified the Qiling tribe and quelled the rebellion of the Qiling nobles. Baili Huangji abolished the original Qiling tribe's Khan election system and established a hereditary imperial power system following the Central Plains dynasty.Officially proclaimed the emperor and founded the country, and the name of the country was Meng.In a short period of time afterward, the Qiling tribe destroyed Bohai, the "prosperous country in the east of the sea" that had existed for more than 200 years.They successively conquered the rest of the tribes in the Mongolian plateau area. Only the Jurchen clan who knew the current affairs was a hero. He took refuge in Daxing and established his own regime, which has continued to this day. The wife of King Zhao is the daughter of the Khan of the Jurchen clan.
After the founding of the Meng Kingdom, it was ambitious and openly invaded Daxing repeatedly. Finally, when the first emperor was alive, he took advantage of the rebellion of the border guard general Jingyun and occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng in the south of Dongtu.At this point, the territory of the Qiling Empire was officially formed: the north crossed the North Sea and entered the land of icebergs, the west reached the desert, the east was close to the sea, and the south crossed the city and entered Daxing, facing the Daxing Dynasty across the river.Since Baili Huangji officially proclaimed the emperor and founded the country, the Qiling tribe established an unprecedentedly vast and powerful grassland empire in only 21 years.The entire land area exceeds 100 million square kilometers, and this empire is completely different from the previous nomadic regimes. It has stretched for hundreds of years, established its own economic culture, and created its own written history.The powerful Qiling clan dynasty not only shocked and prospered, but even some barbarian countries in the distance became its vassal states.In many places, the Qiling tribe even replaced Daxing's orthodox position in the Central Plains and became a symbol of prosperity.And all of this is largely due to the Qiling tribe's advocacy of force, which has created a situation where all the people are fighters.
The reason why King Jing is called the God of War is that when King Jing was 13 years old, he regained the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, drove the Qiling tribe out of Daxing's territory, and suppressed them to death. Half a step across Yuecheng.
The prosperity of Bangladesh should first start with the military system of Bangladesh.
Mon is a nomadic country.His military system not only has the characteristics of the Central Plains dynasty, but also inherits the traces of the nomadic tribal era.The predecessor of the Meng army was the armed forces of the Qiling tribal alliance before the founding of the country.Before the unification of the Qiling nationality, it was a loose tribal alliance composed of eight tribes, and each tribe had its own independent armed forces.These independent armed forces fight independently in peacetime, and form a coalition under the name of the alliance "Khan" in wartime, and the supreme leader is the Khan.The family that created the Baili Huangji in Meng State was the hereditary Khan of the Qiling Tribal Alliance.The Khan is a courtier of the Great Khan in name, but in fact the power is almost independent of the Khan.The Khan has only nominal executive power.As a result, the Khan who had the military power gradually made the Khan a puppet.The biggest disadvantage of the armed forces of the tribal alliance is that they have no unity and belong to the most typical militia.Therefore, after the founding of the country, Baili Huangji set out to establish a sound military system and a basically fixed armed force.
It is surprisingly similar to the Daxing Royal Family.The family of the founding emperor of Meng Kingdom, Baili Huangji, was not the head of the Qiling clan.It is because of serving as a hereditary khan.Only by mastering the military power of the Qiling tribe's tribal alliance, finally abolished the original Khan's usurpation and unified the whole tribe.Therefore, Baili Huangji attached great importance to the control of military power.With the assistance of the Han talents who took refuge in him and his own ministers, a complete set of military and political systems was established.The emperor of the Qiling clan or the queen mother of Zhangchao is the supreme military commander of the country, who directly controls all things related to the construction of the army, and is solely in charge of the establishment, mobilization and command of the army.This is exactly the same as the dynasty established in the Central Plains.But after all, it is impossible for the emperor to cover everything by himself, so he set up a special agency as an assistant.
Under the emperor, the Qiling tribe established the South and North Military Academy as the highest military decision-making body.The Northern Military Academy is located in the homeland of the Qiling Tribe, and its predecessor was the military organization that unified the former Baili Huangji.Therefore, it is the highest military administrative body of the empire, which is in charge of the military power of the whole country.The Southern Army Aircraft Academy is affiliated to the Northern Army Aircraft Academy, which is responsible for military affairs in Han areas such as Yuecheng Sixteen Prefectures.In particular, it specializes in managing the "Han Army" composed of Han people.The status and level are far inferior to the North Army Aircraft Academy
The highest officers of the Southern and Northern Military Aviation Institutes are the Southern and Northern Military Captains, who are responsible for military affairs in the northern and southern regions of the empire, and are directly responsible to the Qiling Clan Emperor.The emperor controlled the national army through the South and North Army Aircraft Academy.Such important positions related to the survival of the royal family and the country will naturally not fall to outsiders.The captains of the southern and northern armies were entirely composed of nobles from the two major families of the Qiling clan, the Baili clan and the Xiao clan.For example, the grandmother of the sixth prince, Baili Chenfeng, was the Empress Dowager Chengtian of the Qiling Clan Empire Xiao Clan, and the father of Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Siwen, had successively served as the captain of the South and North Academy military.
In addition, in addition to the South and North Military Aircraft Academy, there is another kind of official position in Meng that is very valuable.This is the North and South King's Court.And the masters of the North and South King's Courts are the Great King of the Qiling Clan's North Courtyard and the King of the South Courtyard!All the successive prime ministers of our Daxing think that we must be clear about one thing, that is, to the emperor of the Qiling clan, the significance of the King of the North Court and the King of the South Court is extraordinary!Because the northern and southern royal courts are under the jurisdiction of the Qiling emperor's own Baili clan!
After defeating a series of internal rebellions, the founding emperor Baili Huangji strengthened his control over the Baili tribe.Divide the Bailishi Tribe into the North and the South, and this is the later North and South Dawangyuan.The King of the North Court and the King of the South Court are the emperor's own stewards.It directly controls the royal tribe and holds key core forces including the Royal Guards.It can even be said that he directly controls the life and death of the royal family!Therefore, it is only responsible to the emperor or the empress dowager, not to the state power, and is completely appointed by the emperor or the empress himself.Its actual power and status surpassed that of the captains of the South and North armies.
Under this, Meng Guo also set up a command and envoy of the guards and soldiers, which is responsible for guarding the defense of the five important cities of Meng Guo.Because it is the economic lifeline city of Meng State, its chiefs are all princes and nobles of the Qiling clan royal family or descendants.The commander of the bodyguards and pro-armies is responsible for dispatching the defenders in the border area, and the military officers at all levels are under it.
In the early days, the Spirit had no formal standing army.The Qiling people are the most typical nomadic people, so their military structure is similar to those established by other nomadic regimes such as Jurchen. The Qiling tribe is all soldiers.All men between the ages of 15 and 40 are registered by the chiefs or officials of the tribe, and they are all included in the army.They usually graze and produce, and once a war breaks out, they will immediately join the army with their own horses, weapons and rations under the leadership of their chiefs or officials by "counting registration".This system runs through the entire Qiling Empire, and its advantage is that it can quickly gather a large number of troops in a short period of time.But the disadvantages are also significant.First of all, such an army needs to be recruited and assembled on the spot. The country does not have a formal and large standing army, so it cannot cope with sudden large-scale wars.And these temporarily recruited troops belong to the most typical militias, lacking training and having uneven combat effectiveness.
The most important thing is that due to historical restrictions, the powerful ministers of the Qiling clan, the nobles, especially the clan princes and kings all have their own standing armed forces.It can range from hundreds to tens of thousands!The standing army controlled by the emperor or royal family was very limited.This directly led to the vicious incidents in which nobles, especially clan princes and kings, relied on their own private forces to launch rebellions and threaten the imperial power in the early days of the Meng Kingdom!In order to preserve their strength and seize power, the princes either did not send troops or sent fewer troops, or after sending troops, they had different intentions before the battle, or even faced the enemy and took the opportunity to kill the king and usurp the throne!
In addition, when the Qiling tribe established a country, especially after they officially entered the Central Plains.The emperor of the Qiling tribe himself began to be influenced by the intellectuals of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and he had an extremely deep understanding of the relationship between imperial power and military power and the significance of the standing army of the Central Plains.Therefore, the establishment of a regular standing army directly under the Qiling Emperor himself became a top priority.The infantry, which was originally used as the royal guard, was a rare standing force of the Qiling clan in the early days.It has played an important role in previous wars and counter-insurgency.As a result, the size of the infantry expanded rapidly, and its responsibilities changed significantly.It eventually became the most important large regular standing army in the country.
Qiling nobles or important ministers have always distrusted the Han or other ethnic groups in the military.Therefore, infantry soldiers are mainly selected from the eight major tribes of the Qiling tribe.Every year, the state regularly sends officials to select strong and strong men from various tribes to supplement the infantry.After training, it will be equipped by the state and distributed to various military towns or nobles and ministers.Therefore, the infantry also became in a sense the personal arms of these people.But the infantry only belonged to the soldier himself, and could not be inherited or hereditary.Once the soldier in charge dies, his infantry will be transferred to the national army.In addition, as the Qiling tribe entered the Central Plains, they began to contact a large number of Han people.It also began to select a small number of Han Chinese who were loyal to the Qiling tribe to join the infantry.But the relatively small number of soldiers does not constitute the main force.
As the trump card force of the country, the infantry's weapons and equipment are first-class.The Qiling tribe is far inferior to the Central Plains in terms of metallurgical technology, but they have captured a large number of Han craftsmen in previous wars, and later invaded the technologically advanced Sixteen Prefectures of Yuecheng, and made great progress in metallurgy and other military technology.The infantry is all cavalry.Equipped with bows, iron machetes and spears.Soldiers have iron armor, and many horses are also covered with vests made of leather, metal, and leather. They are basically heavy armored cavalry.The infantry is equipped with the most common Mongolian horse.The disadvantages of Mongolian horses are their short stature, low load capacity and explosive power, and slow charge speed.But the advantage is that it has strong endurance and can run long distances for a long time.Not picky eaters and highly adaptable to the environment!It can be suitable for all kinds of harsh environments and feeds, and even in the ice and snow, use horseshoes to shave snow to find food.Usually, a soldier of the Qiling tribe has multiple war horses for transfer, and their speed and mobility are very powerful.
The Noble Maharajah Army is the oldest armed force in Mon.His predecessor was actually a private armed force that unified the nobles of the various tribes of the former Qiling tribe.The Qiling have the same traditions as other nomadic peoples.Each tribe, ranging from chiefs to leaders, all have their own independent armed forces, which are actually private parts.In order to reduce resistance in the process of Baili Huangji's unification of the Qiling clan, he did not eliminate all these old nobles.Instead, it adopts the strategy of combining fight and pull to treat them differently.Especially in order to win the support of the upper nobles of the Qiling clan to stabilize people's hearts, Baili Huangji has completely preserved the tradition of the nobles owning private arms.
After the founding of the Qiling tribe, the system of nobles' private military support was completely preserved.Moreover, these nobles all have their own territories, cattle, horses and people.The result of this is that many nobles, especially the princes of the two most prominent Qiling clan royal families, the Baili family and the Hou family Xiao family, have a large number of private armed forces.These armed forces are completely owned by the nobles themselves, and the soldiers mainly come from their subordinates and even slaves.Organized, trained and maintained by themselves.From hundreds to thousands!
In the early days of the Meng Kingdom, the influence of the traditional system of the Qiling people was very strong, especially the nobles tried their best to maintain private arms in order to protect their own interests.These armies were always the private property of the nobility.Once a war breaks out in the country, the emperor will issue a conscription order to the princes and nobles.The nobles are obliged to send troops or lead troops to fight in person.And not only send people, but also provide the horses, armor, weapons and rations needed by the soldiers.In the event of battle casualties, the emperor will give appropriate financial compensation.The nobles who sent troops, especially the nobles who personally led the troops, had the priority to plunder during the war, and had the priority to choose spoils such as treasures or slaves after the war.At that time, the regular army of the Qiling Nationality was limited in size and number, and the military system still had a strong old style.Therefore, the aristocratic royal army became an important source of the army and became the main force of Meng's early foreign troops.It played an extremely important role in the military and national politics of Bangladesh at that time.
The armies of noble princes were not under the control of the government, so they were often used as a tool of rebellion by the kings.All the kings were born in the royal family or descendants, and the throne is so attractive that no one would want to become addicted to the emperor.Now that he has money, land and soldiers, it is logical to use this to launch a rebellion.Ever since, in all the civil strife in Bangladesh, especially in the early days of the founding of the country, the noble princes and princes' army were all the backbone without exception.Killings between the noble princes' army and the royal army will occur at every turn.However, a large number of troops were scattered outside the central control, posing an extremely serious threat to the stability of the central government and imperial power.Therefore, how to deal with the usurping of the throne by the kings has become the most terrible event for the emperors of the Qiling clan in all dynasties.
Starting from Baili Xiaochuo, the last generation of the Qiling Clan emperor, the Meng Kingdom began large-scale reforms, the focus of which was to attack and weaken the private forces of the kings.Such a fatal move naturally aroused fierce resistance from the kings.In this regard, part of the suppression and division and rule have weakened the power of the kings to a large extent.
Although Baili Xiaochuo has a literary and martial arts strategy, he is really powerless, and he dare not shake it fundamentally - because this directly involves the fundamental interests of the entire Qiling ethnic group's upper group, and has a powerful force that cannot be eradicated.If Baili Xiaochuo is really like this, she will fight against the entire Qiling clan noble group!This is obviously unthinkable.In fact, Baili Xiaochuo was really helpless - he tried his best to frighten the kings.
Before the Qiling people entered the Central Plains, they had already captured a large number of Han people in the war.In addition to serving as slaves, in order to make up for the shortage of their own army, the Qiling tribe incorporated some Han people into the army.At the beginning, they were also mixed with soldiers from other ethnic groups.But when Meng State occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, the Han population in Meng State expanded rapidly.As a result, an army dominated by Han people began to be formed, which was the Meng Guo Han Army.Divided by time, the Meng Han army can be divided into two parts.One is the old Han army formed in the northern region before occupying the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng.After occupying the sixteen prefectures of Yuecheng, because the local area is in the south of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains.Therefore, the new army formed by the local Han people was officially named "Shannan Han Army".This army constituted the main body of the Qiling Han army in the future.The equipment of the Han army is the worst.The worst food, poor quality weapons and lack of protective equipment, basically a light infantry.
The Han army constituted the basic main body of the Meng army's infantry and undertook the most arduous war with the heaviest casualties.But in the Meng army, the lowest status and the worst treatment.Because the Qiling people are the most typical minority regime, they have never trusted the Han people.Not only was the equipment of the Han army backward and the treatment was the worst, but the middle and senior officers were all served by Qiling people or ethnic groups close to the Qiling tribe such as Bohai. Han people could only serve as low-level officers in the Meng army.The Qiling officers' discrimination against Han soldiers was extremely cruel.The Han army was only treated as cannon fodder or even slaves.Beating, scolding and bullying are commonplace, and they may be killed at every turn.
Therefore, the ethnic conflicts in the Meng army are extremely sharp!The direct consequence was that the early Han army often mutinied.
These troops constitute the main body of the Meng army.But none of them are the most elite force of the Qiling Empire.Like the Song Dynasty, the most elite and vigorous armed force in the entire Qiling Empire is also directly and personally controlled by the Qiling Emperor himself or the Queen Mother Zhangchao.This is the world-famous cavalry of the imperial family of the Qiling Clan Empire!
The predecessor of Yuzhang Qinqi was Baili Huangji's personal guard when he was Khan.As the name suggests.The imperial tent pro-riders refer to the personal guards of the imperial guards guarding the emperor of the Qiling clan or the imperial tents used by the empress dowager!The members of this army are all members of the Qiling tribe, and they are composed of one in a thousand members of the tribe who are directly under the emperor.The military officers are appointed entirely by the emperor or the queen mother, and are entirely from the royal family Baili and the descendant Xiao family.The high-ranking military officers are all from the Baili family, the purpose is to ensure absolute loyalty to the emperor.In the early days of the founding of the country, the population of the Qiling tribe was small, and the selection of soldiers was extremely strict, so the total force of the imperial tent pro-cavalry has always hovered around 2.But they are all elite soldiers.
The Qiling tribe's metallurgy and military technology are relatively backward, but as the emperor's personal and direct relatives, they are armed with all their strength at all costs.Therefore, the weapons, equipment and treatment of the royal tent cavalry are the strongest.Steel armaments are definitely a luxury in the Qiling army, and usually only officers are qualified to use them.But the imperial tent cavalry actually popularized the steel ordnance made by the captured Central Plains craftsmen.Different from the iron armor equipped by the infantry, the imperial tent cavalry are all heavily armored cavalry!The soldier has a steel helmet.It is covered with layered fish-scale steel armor!On the front and back of the chest, there are two heart-covering mirrors with a thickness of two millimeters, which are full of dinner plates.The horses also wear vests.The inside of the vest is leather, the outside is a layer of iron fish scale armor, and the horse's head is also wearing an iron mask.
In terms of weapons, the imperial tent cavalry is equipped with advanced steel swords and spears and powerful compound bows, which far exceed the ordinary iron weapons of other armies in terms of range and chopping power.The most important thing is that the horses of the royal tent are extremely special.Not the dwarf Mongolian horses commonly used by the Meng army.Instead, they are all armed with the famous pure blood BMWs from the Western Regions.Compared with the dwarf Mongolian horses, Yichun sweat-blooded horses are tall and handsome in appearance and strong in physique.Even in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as the best war horse, and it is also the most suitable horse breed in the Central Plains as a mount for heavy cavalry.The "Tianma" that has been passed down through the ages in Tang poetry refers to the Ili-Kazakh pure sweat horse.
The imperial cavalry attaches great importance to daily training, and its training can even be described as cruel.Including bow and crossbow shooting, close combat skills with sword and spear, riding training, and long-distance marching.As the emperor's pro-army, with excellent equipment and excellent soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the royal tent's pro-cavalry can be imagined!Xiang is famous for his ferocity, tyranny, bravery and good fighting skills.No matter how powerful the enemy is, even if they know that they will die, both humans and horses are extremely vigorous and never back down, with a strong desire to fight!In normal times, the royal tent cavalry who specialize in guarding the royal palace tent seldom participate in battles.But once faced with a crisis situation, it is often used as a trump card to turn the tide.
In all subsequent wars of invasion of the Song Dynasty, the imperial tent cavalry played an important role, but there were also times of embarrassment.It was during the battle of King Jing's fame that the Meng Emperor brought his most trusted and beloved prince, Baili Yufeng, and led 10 royal tents and horses to conquer Yuecheng, crossing Yishui and attacking Yuecheng in an attempt to regain his own. of glory.But they met Ji Lingchen, a tactical genius, and the 10 Meng army successively used ladders, building cars, siege towers, charging cars, and tunnels.Under the cover of hundreds of long-range heavy artillery and tens of thousands of archers, thousands of overwhelming onslaughts were launched in the form of three-dimensional cluster attacks, all of which were defeated.
At a critical moment, the red-eyed Emperor Meng made a desperate move and invested 5 of the most elite imperial tent cavalry to form a death squad.In order to boost morale, Emperor Meng Guo put on an armor and war robe and went to the battlefield to beat drums and supervise the battle in person.His son, Liao Baili Yufeng, came to the front line to pour wine for the Death Squad in a royal robe!In the past, the royal tent riders have fulfilled their missions as expected.But this time the Emperor Meng made a big miscalculation.The imperial tent cavalry is the most typical heavy armored cavalry, with unparalleled attack power, which can ensure the defeat of all opponents in plain field battles.However, these nomadic Qiling knights have never been good at climbing ladders to attack cities.Facing the outcome of the city's attack and defense in the Central Plains, one can imagine that the royal cavalry, as before, fearless of life and death, brandished machetes and howled towards Suicheng.But when they got under the city wall, they became extremely clumsy and didn't know how to fight at all. Many people climbed ladders and were even clumsier than a bear walking a tightrope.As a result, it became a living target for the defenders to attack.Under the dense rain of arrows and flying stones, the 5 imperial tent cavalry were basically wiped out.The most elite trump card of the Qiling tribe suffered the worst blow since its birth, and fell to the ground under the hands of King Jing.
The emperor of Meng State was devastated after returning to Meng State, and was sick in bed for more than several months.The Xiao family, who were already dissatisfied with the prince's lineage, took the opportunity to incite the forces in the court, elected Baili Chenfeng to the throne, and drove Baili Yufeng to the throne and expelled him from the country.
Having said that, I still want to tell you about the relationship between the previous generation of the Meng Kingdom royal family.
The current emperor of the Meng Kingdom is not a child of the Xiao family. The Empress Dowager Chengtian has no children, so she chose a child from among the concubines as her heir to raise. As a result, the concubine hid her identity. She was from the Baili clan. After the emperor of the country ascended the throne, he was manipulated by the family members to suppress the power of the Xiao clan and suppress the main controlling force of the Xiao clan. All the Xiao clan members restrained their power and disappeared.
The former prince Baili Yufeng was born of the queen of the Baili family, and he also inherited the belligerence and strength of the Baili family, so he was favored and trusted by the emperor of Meng. A large number of imperial power directly under the army lost control of the capital. Coupled with the impact of the defeat, the royal family suffered heavy losses. The Xiao family got the news and took the opportunity to control the military power in Kyoto. The evidence captured Baili Yufeng, and he planned to take the opportunity to kill him to prevent future troubles. Unexpectedly, Baili Yufeng was not a fool. He sensed something was wrong before entering the city, and he ran to other fiefs in disguise. The method subdued the noble kings of the Qiling clan, and now they are leading the army of the noble kings of the Qiling clan to form a confrontation with the Xiao clan in the capital.
The Xiao clan who stayed in the capital elected Baili Chenfeng as the next prince to inherit the glory of the Xiao clan, but with the former prince around, it was difficult to achieve their goals for a while, coupled with internal struggles, in the long run, Meng country's economy has caused great damage, the people are struggling to survive, and the people complained. As a last resort, Baili Chenfeng intends to surrender and Daxing, to fight for opportunities for himself, to cooperate to defeat Baili Yufeng, and only then has the current marriage situation .
Qin An'an looked at Feng Zhuoran thoughtfully, these could be regarded as the secrets of Meng Guo, and he was able to find out!
Feng Zhuoran seemed to know what she was thinking, and answered her patiently: "You are thinking about these are the secrets of the Meng Kingdom, and how did I know?"
Qin An'an was a little embarrassed. When someone came to help him, he still doubted him: "I'm just curious. Prime Minister Feng, don't take it to heart."
"You should have doubts. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the reason. I have to consider their safety, but you can rest assured that the news is absolutely true. I'm afraid that even the emperor may not know the truth about Meng's marriage. , The reason why I told you so much today is because the war is about to begin." Feng Zhuoran waved his hand indifferently.
"War?" Qin Anan didn't expect it to be the news, and froze in place for a while, Ah Chen is the god of war and the main force of the general. If there is really a war, wouldn't it be....
"That's right, that's how it is. In less than 10 days, there must be news from the border. Baili Yufeng is already planning this operation in an attempt to capture Yuecheng and break up the alliance between Baili Chenfeng and Daxing. He believes that Baili Yufeng Li Chenfeng would not tell Emperor Daxing about the status quo of Meng Kingdom, after all, Daxing's current strength has just taken the opportunity to take down Meng Kingdom in one fell swoop, and they are in a state of internal disintegration, so they are naturally not Daxing's opponent." Feng Zhuoran said while making tea, The movements are smooth and flowing, which is really beautiful, "As the marriage partner, Baili Mengdie and the envoy Baili Chenfeng are still in Daxing, but there is news that the Meng Kingdom has attacked Yuecheng from the border town. What do you think will happen to Baili Chenfeng? ? This trick is good for killing people with a borrowed knife, but what Baili Chenfeng was doing before arriving in Daxing capital early, and who he was with, I haven't found it yet. I believe it is convenient here. King Zhao is more convenient than my forces. and fast."
"I understand. I will tell you the news when I go back—my lord. I also want to thank Prime Minister Feng for reminding me. I don't know how to be grateful for this kindness." Qin Anan almost called Ji Lingchen privately.
"How do you want to be grateful?" Suddenly, Feng Zhuoran asked.
"Ah?" Qin An'an felt that he must have heard it wrong, and he was so dignified that he looked like a bright moon, and asked himself for a reward? !It must be an auditory hallucination. Qin An'an picked up the boiling water in front of him and prepared to suppress the shock.
I heard Feng Zhuoran say it again leisurely: "I said how do you want to thank me?"
Puff——The water that Qin Anan hadn't swallowed was sprayed on Feng Zhuoran who was facing him. Although the guard next to him covered his face with a fan in time, quite a few drops of water still fell on the front of his front. , making people daydream.
The people in the room froze in place for a moment, and they couldn't help but control the corners of their mouths not to reveal their smiles when they realized it.
Qin Anan looked dumbfounded at the expressionless face in front of him, picked up his handkerchief stiffly, tried to ignore the dark guard's murderous eyes, and wiped it for him indiscriminately: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just I lost my mouth for a moment, hahahaha"
Feng Zhuoran: "It's okay, add the information I gave you, and repay me together!"
Qin Anan: ...
Want to cry but have no tears, the debt has not been paid off, and even add a new debt, let yourself go to drink tea.
Make a pitiful gesture: "Here, Prime Minister Feng, look, I'm penniless, I'm too poor, I still pay you on credit for this meal, I really can't afford to repay your great kindness, how about I'll format my brain again, and I'll just pretend I didn't hear what you said."
"Hehehe" Feng Zhuoran chuckled softly, like a hundred flowers blooming, everyone in the room stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of them, and couldn't bear to break this rare scene in a thousand years.
I really don't know why she can always think of these weird notes, formatting, but she didn't hear it, only she dared to say that in front of her, Feng Zhuoran thought, but she didn't realize that she actually laughed out loud, "Princess, don't be so flustered. It's just that Feng has been unforgettable since I heard the song that day. I've inquired many times. No one has ever heard such a melody. It must be the exclusive secret skill of the princess. I don't know if the princess can give up this song. Write it down and give it to Feng, even if the concubine pays off the debt, how about it?"
"That's it? Hahahaha, let me tell you earlier, no problem, I will send the song to Prime Minister Feng's mansion in two days." Qin Anan agreed without hesitation when he heard such a simple condition. Anyway, the song is based on the end of the world. Composer, no one knows.
I wrote Meng Guo with the Liao Kingdom as the background. I checked a little historical data, and if there is something wrong, please feel free to correct me ^_^
