Chapter 662: The Northern Expedition
When Yang Feng drove away more than 200,000 displaced people and walked to Fangtou in a month and a half, the reward given to him by Sima Yu also arrived......
To add.
Sima Yu was not the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At this time, the emperor was actually Sima Dan, now ten years old, he is Sima Rui's great-grandson, and Sima Yu is Sima Rui's youngest son, that is, his uncle, the little emperor is young, as the current elder of the Sima family, he is naturally in charge of the government, although this elder is only in his thirties. But Sima Yu actually has no ambitions, and he likes to delve into metaphysics, otherwise why would he like celebrities! He likes metaphysics, he can only barely parry under Huan Wen's aggressive threat, and he is careful for fear of giving Huan Wen an excuse to be mad, but he did not escape from Huan Wen's clutches in the end, and was originally forced to stand on the emperor's throne as a puppet by Huan Wen in history, and then cried when he saw Huan Wen, crying so much that Huan Wen was very embarrassed.
In general, it is a waste of people who do not want to make progress.
However, it was in this era of ruins that the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty expanded to the limit, and if you count the Duan Shrine of Guishun, it even advanced to the Yellow River for a time.
I have to say that this is also quite speechless.
The reward he gave to Yang Feng was nothing of value, not even a knight, Yang Feng was the county duke, and then Jin was the national duke, and Yang Feng's territory was Yecheng, so it could only be Jin Wei Gong, obviously this title still made Sima Yu have a bad association, so he only added a county male to Yang Feng's other son, but Yang Feng's Guangping county duke remained unchanged, at this time, the highest foreign surname minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the county duke, including Huan Wen.
The only special ones are the niches.
The only remaining leader of this Duan family is the Duke of Qi.
But he called himself the king of Qi and occupied Ziqing and other places with Qingzhou Guanggu City as the core.
And Sima Yu's remaining reward was nothing more than giving Yang Feng the title of General Pingbei and Bingzhou Assassin, which originally belonged to Yao Xiang.
So Yang Dudu's Dudu added the state to it.
He was originally the captain of Jiyouping Sanzhou and Jiadongyi, and the jurisdiction was Hebei east of the entire Taihang Mountain, and then Liaoxi and Liaodong were added, followed by the jurisdiction of Pingzhou Thorn History, and the theoretical Pingzhou Prefecture governed Xiangping is Liaoyang, as for Youzhou, it is needless to say, so in addition to Jizhou, there is a bit of practical significance, and the rest are all virtual, plus a merger, that is, Shanxi, is still virtual.
At this time, Bingzhou was in the hands of Yang Feng's nemesis, Murong Jun.
Originally, after the battle of Yecheng, the warlord Zhang Ping of the Later Zhao Department sent envoys to surrender to Murong Jun, and the other large and small warlords in Shanxi also surrendered to Qianyan, so at this time, Qianqin and Qianyan were basically bounded by Gaobiling, that is, between Huozhou and Lingshi, the famous Bird Mouse Valley Yin Pass separated Qin Yan, and Shangdang was Changzhi and the surrounding counties were all returned to Qianyan, and the south of the Yellow River east of Hangu Pass belonged to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Yang Feng was the only prominent part of the Eastern Jin Dynasty territory in Hebei, as for the dividing line between the former Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the Qinling Mountains, But Hanzhong, a strategic location, also belonged to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Or rather, Gui Huan Wen.
However, Longyou, west of Hanzhong, returned to the former Qin, and Longyou, the southward salient of the former Qin, cut off the connection between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Zhangjia in Liangzhou.
The Zhang family is still theoretically still a Jin minister.
But he was not a minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Although Zhang Zuo abolished Zhang Yaoling to seize the throne in this year, he still exercised power as the pastor of Liangzhou and Lianggong of Jin, and used the Jianxing era name of Emperor Jin Shu, that is to say, their Zhang family did not submit to Jiankang but continued to submit to the Western Jin Dynasty, which was long gone, and they have been in Jianxing for more than 40 years.
And the rest is the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian.
This grandfather of Tuoba Jue controlled Xuanda to Baotou and built the capital of Shengle in the clouds.
That is, Helinger in the south of Hohhot.
This is China at this time.
And in the end, except for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, these Han and Hu were all swept away by Fu Jian, and even Fu Jian went south to seize Sichuan, and he was about to play a Wang Junlou boat down to Yizhou again, but at the moment when he was about to achieve hegemony, he was crushed by Liu Jiaozhi and the Beifu soldiers in the battle of Weishui, and the ups and downs of life are really impermanent!
Immediately afterwards, the Former Qin Empire fell apart.
Murong Chui built Houyan, Yao Chang built Houqin, Tuoba Jue rebuilt the country, and his father Liu Weichen seized northern Shaanxi, and originally according to Fu Jian's order to conquer the Western Regions, the general Lu Guang led the army back, because he could not return to Guanzhong, he simply took his army to establish Houliang in the Hexi Corridor, and Fu Jian's kiss Little Phoenix, Murong Chong, the first beautiful man in Wuhu, established Xiyan.
On the battlefield, Fu Jian roared heartbreakingly about his love......
Why are you betraying me?!
Then Murong Chong unceremoniously gave him a heavy blow......
The slave is tired of the slave and wants to take you as the deer!
In this way, they completely performed a love-hate entanglement that rotten girls love, and of course, it is also possible that his pi fart is really bitter.
And with the disintegration of the former Qin, the north once again fell into a melee, and more forces rose, and there were several countries in such a big place as Guanglongyou.
For example, Li Shimin, his ancestor Li Wei.
He was Lu Guang's Houliang after the collapse of Jiuquan, and later passed to the second generation of Li Xin when he was destroyed by Fuqu Mengxun, Li Shimin said that his ancestor was Li Xin, but the Li family fled to Yiwu after the fall of Xiliang led by Li Bao and later surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Bao is one of the top families in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the descendants are prominent, and there are even Li Chong, Li Yanshi such relatives and important ministers. But Li Xin's family has not recorded more since then, this branch can almost be said to have disappeared, until the appearance of Li Hu in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it began to make up for the lack of the Li family, and Li Hu started with Wuchuan Town in the six towns, he followed He Bayue to mix, his background is not high, the reason why he became the Eight Pillars of the Imperial Army is because he is the leader of the military group of He Bayue, and it has nothing to do with his origin.
This is the reason for the later controversy over Li Shimin's identity.
At the same time, Longyou not only had the Xiliang of the Li family, but also the Duan family of the Han people, and then the Northern Liang who was usurped by the Huns' Fuqu family, and later the Bo who restored the country after the destruction of his father, as well as the bald and lonely Nanliang, plus Tuyuhun, plus the Later Qin whose power extended to Longyou, and the Western Qin who begged Xianbei, in short, the forces of all parties were in a scuffle, until they were finally swept away by the Tuoba family one by one, and the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north into a long period of confrontation between the North and the South.
This is the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.
But it's not just the Sixteen Kingdoms, in fact this is an era of no order, an era of large and small warlords, an era of no concept of a state, a county, a county, and even a dock fort are all warlords, there is no law, no order, no loyalty.
These are troubled times.
Including Yang Feng is also a warlord at present.
He just smiled at the additional official Jin Jue given to him by Sima Yu, and the more than 200,000 displaced people he brought back this time were placed in Jijun and Hanoi, that is, in the area of Xinxiang and Jiaozuo, and then readjusted the deployment and moved the infantry brigade stationed in Fangtou to Yewangcheng, and selected young people from these refugees to add a light cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades, so that the design of one heavy cavalry brigade and two light cavalry brigades was completed, and the two infantry brigades were all stationed in Yecheng.
Relying on a more complete defense system, he continued to build his territory.
Farmland and water conservancy facilities, road construction, expansion of the scale of the steel industry, and even began to build schools in various subordinate cities, and also burned bricks and tiles near Yecheng, burning cement, he was ready to wrap Yecheng with bricks, and the adobe wood and grass houses of this era also made him unbearable, so he had to wrap the bricks in Yecheng first. In addition, he also rebuilt Cao Cao's Baigou Licao Canal waterway, so that the Yellow River waterway and the Zhanghe River were connected directly to Yecheng, which was also the foundation of the Yongji Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui in the original history, so the northern section of the canal of Emperor Yang of Sui was actually made on the basis of others, not that he was pioneering.
The southern section of his Grand Canal was based on the Han Dynasty.
And the northern section of his Grand Canal is based on Cao Cao's Baigou Canal system.
He simply repaired the two original canal systems, which had been destroyed by centuries of war.
Then, in the spring of the following year, the 354th year of the Western calendar, more than 200,000 displaced people had settled down and started agricultural production under the guidance of the team he sent out, including the construction of a road from Fangtou to Yewangcheng.
At this time, Huan Wen's army set off from Jiangling and headed north to begin his expedition to the northern expedition of Wuguan.
If nothing else, this time he will fail, because he can't provide food for the Jin army of the Northern Expedition, his plan is to raise it in Guanzhong, but unfortunately the former Qin Jianbi cleared the wilderness, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Jin army under Huan Wen is indeed very strong, and the 40,000 lonely expedition can still force the enemy to clear the wall.
As for Yang Feng......
He's going to face a war too.
Murong Jun finally captured Lukou, and Lü Hu led the remnants to flee to Yecheng.
But he was arrested by Yang Feng and sent to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
For a person like Lu Hu, Yang Feng definitely can't use it, this guy has military talents, but his personality is capricious, and he has surrendered too many times, so let's give it to Sima Yu, anyway, he himself called the king This is a crime! As for the subordinates he brought, they must have laughed, they can rely on Lukou Lonely City, and they have stuck Murong Jun for three years, which is also elite, originally in history, Murong Ke attacked Yewang City, but did not dare to attack but besieged, which shows the combat effectiveness of these guys.
Of course, these are all small things.
The big thing he really needed to face was the attack that Murong Jun was definitely going to launch.
And Yang Feng's response was......
Take the initiative to attack.
"Northern Expedition!"
Yang Feng stood on the end door and shouted.
"Against the chaos of the Central Plains, in the past 50 years, the poison of China, so that the prosperity is the ruins, the rotting corpses and white bones are full of ravines, and the people are not left behind. Ran Xianbei rebelled against Hu Murong Jun, did not repent and reformed, bowed his head and asked for punishment from heaven, but wanted to punish his wolf ambition, and stole Youyan to peep into the Central Plains.
This is a crime that cannot be punished.
Today, Min Shang admires the mighty spirit of Haotian God, and is supported by millions of soldiers and civilians of Zhao Wei, and will personally command the three armies and the Northern Expedition to Youzhou......"
There he roared excitedly.
"Northern Expedition!"
"Northern Expedition!"
……
Countless roars rang out.
Even Xun Xian, who came to represent the Eastern Jin Dynasty, shouted the slogan of the Northern Expedition, and in the square in front of him and Yang Feng, there was a neatly lined Northern Expedition army, with cavalry on both sides of the infantry in the middle.
Needless to say, the cavalry.
And the heavy infantry is also all bright light armor.
Or cold-forged plate armor, the style basically copies Tang Mingguang armor, of course, it is Yang Feng's version of Tang Mingguang armor, simply put, it is a mixture of plate armor and fish scale armor, the upper body, two forearms, calves and shoulders are all plate armor, crotch guards, shawls and legs are large leaf fish scale armor, and there is a basin neck on the neck, which is similar to the neck of modern body armor neck guards, and the top of the head is the kind of Gothic plate armor with a long hat at the back, and even an iron mask has it, but it is movable, and it can be lifted when it is not needed, As for the weapons, they are mainly Mo Dao and Bu Jin, the latter is an ultra-long spear, even longer than Ma Jin, up to six meters long.
In fact, this is not long, the longest spear of the Ming infantry is ten meters, and it takes three people to use.
Spearmen are heavy infantry.
They even had extra shields, which were only placed on wagons, which were equivalent to rejecting horses in the event of a battle with cavalry.
And behind them there are some sword players, mainly responsible for protecting the spearmen, after all, the spearmen's foot can not be close combat, and then there are crossbowmen, wearing half-body armor and wearing big hats, the divine arm archers are responsible for shooting, and some archers make up for the lack of rate of fire, the heavy infantry in front blocks the enemy, and the crossbowmen in the back keep shooting arrows, according to Yang Feng's training standards, they are as specialized in shooting as the Eight Banners heavy infantry. Once the enemy is unable to break through the spear formation, and is unable to withstand the continuous fire of the crossbowmen and is unable to shake or even retreat, then it is time for the final counterattack to come in......
Mo Knife Hand.
Heavily armored and armed with a sword, the big men will give their enemies a taste of a meat grinder.
This is Yang Feng's infantry brigade.
Each infantry brigade has 5,000 men, including four infantry battalions and one logistics battalion.
Each infantry battalion is a combination of arms and can carry out combat missions independently, but in principle, a brigade is a combat unit, and when it is necessary to conduct a large-scale campaign, several brigades will be used to form a front army according to different situations, which must include at least one cavalry brigade, and the number of infantry brigades is unlimited. The cavalry brigade is also superimposed, Yang Feng's heavy cavalry brigade and light cavalry brigade are only in formation, but in such an era, unless there is a decisive battle with the strength of the country, there is no need to use thousands of cavalry at all, so when the battle is carried out, it is basically in the form of mixed brigades, that is, several battalions are drawn from the light and heavy cavalry brigades.
On a real battlefield, five hundred mounted cavalry is enough to form a breakthrough.
A few thousand mounted cavalry is a bit exaggerated.
And at this time the same was true of his cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
In fact, there were two mounted cavalry battalions and eight light cavalry battalions, totaling 5,000 cavalry, while the infantry brigade was two, which means that his Northern Expeditionary Army had a total of 15,000 men in three brigades, and a temporary reserve brigade was responsible for logistics and transportation, all of which added up to 20,000.
Well, this is not an attack on Changshan.
The target of Yang Feng's Northern Expedition was not Murong Jun, but Murong Chui.
"Embark on the ship, the target is deduced!"
He roared excitedly.
