Chapter 353: The foundation of hegemony is beginning to be formed

(The 5,000-word chapter, although only three chapters have been updated today, the number of words is 12,000.) Asking for tickets, shouting hoarsely for tickets! )

The relentless sun hung in the air, and the rising heat evaporated from the stones piled up in the mountain castle. Sweat pooled into small streams that flowed over Da Yue'er's fair face, slid over her long white jade neck, and finally flowed through her sexy collarbone, and then into the canyon between her two plump and full high peaks.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is only silence left.

Since she was brought back to Weiba City by Li Jing, she was separated from the two sword maids and Gao Jin and other guards. was taken to the top of the temple tower in the mountain city, and was placed under house arrest on top of the nine-story tower, more than ten zhang from the ground, the Tang people didn't need to tie her up at all, they just needed to lock the door of the ninth floor, and then send a few people to guard it under the tower.

Although the view from the high tower was excellent, it was also extremely hot, and since she was locked in the tower, the Tang people had only brought her a little water.

If it weren't for the figures of the three Hai Dongqing who occasionally slipped through the sky, Da Yue'er really thought that the Tang people had left Weiba Mountain City, leaving her alone. Da Yue'er stood on the tower, staring at the three huge Hai Dongqing.

This is three white Haidongqing, this pure white Haidongqing is also called jade claw, which is the top grade of Haidongqing. Such jade claws are quite rare, and the only common varieties of Haidongqing are Qiuhuang, Bohuang, and Sanxinglong. Da Yue'er remembered that when she was still in Bohai Longquan Mansion, there was an order in the country that those convicts and slaves who were distributed would sacrifice as long as they could catch Hai Dongqing. You will be able to avoid punishment for all. Even capital crimes can be forgiven. Slaves were immediately freed.

She didn't expect it. Li Jing actually has three Haidongqing, and they are also jade claws. However, she estimated that this Haidongqing was very likely to be dedicated to Li Jing by those Tang people in southern Liaoning, and from here alone, she could see that Li Jing seemed to have completed control over southern Liaoning.

In the big stone house in the center of Weiba Mountain City, Li Jing woke up from a nap and dealt with military affairs in the middle of the night last night. Later, I heard that a troop of Goguryeo cavalry was found by the Biliu River under the city. He personally led people to investigate, but unexpectedly caught Gao Dexin's daughter-in-law, the princess of the Bohai Kingdom.

Now Li Jing is holding these people apart, but until now, he has not yet figured out how to deal with them. If it was just a group of Goguryeo cavalry, it would be easy to deal with, Guan Jian also has a daughter-in-law of Gao Dexin here, and this woman is not only Gao Dexin's daughter-in-law, but also the princess of King Bohai.

After eating, Li Jing took a few guards up the tower and entered the top floor. Have the guards unlock the door.

Da Yue'er actually fainted on the ground and lay there motionless. Li Jing was shocked. Hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to test her carotid artery, and found that there was still a pulse. Looking at her appearance, it seems that the central agency has fainted.

Li Jing chuckled, he didn't expect this to be the result. He stretched out his hand and pinched her man, and pinched between his eyebrows and the back of his neck, and plucked her out. After being so busy for a while, she finally woke up.

When she woke up, opened her eyes, and found herself lying in Li Jing's arms, her eyes were extremely frightened, then panicked, and then angry.

pushed Li Jing away, and she found that her clothes were actually untied a little. Looking at the tower again, there were only two of them, who were lonely men and widows, and they couldn't help crying at the moment.

Li Jing explained a little embarrassedly: "You fainted from heat stroke, I just gave you a simple treatment." ”

Da Yue'er glared at Li Jing fiercely, a light indecent is a light indecent indecency, how can she be treated without her clothes. This pervert is also a general of the Tang Dynasty, and he dares to do it.

Thinking of what Li Jing did just now when she didn't know what Lu Dao had done while she was unconscious, she couldn't help but tremble all over her body, and her whole body curled up in a ball. Sitting on the ground, tears flowed uncontrollably. She has always been a strong woman, but after all, she is just over twenty years old.

"I'll change your room." When Li Jing saw her appearance, he had to stand there and say, "You go down with me, go take a shower and change your clothes first, and I will call a military doctor to come over and prescribe some medicine for you later." ”

Da Yue'er curled up tightly, "Don't! She begged, "Please spare me, for my father will surely grant whatever you ask." ”

When Li Jing saw her like this, she also knew that she probably couldn't listen to what she said at this time, so she had to turn around and leave, and asked someone to send her two maidservants up, let them take Da Yue'er to change rooms, and let people send clothes and hot water.

After Li Jing left, the big moon queen fell to the ground softly, looking at the wall in a daze, and in the sky outside the tower, three Haidongqing were soaring freely.

It wasn't until the two maidservants entered the tower that she finally regained her composure. Follow the two maidservants down the tower and change to a small courtyard of a stone house, and there is a ginkgo tree in the courtyard, which is very cool. The maidservants brought hot water to serve her in the bath. was beaten by her, and took off her clothes one by one, Da Yue'er was not busy bathing, but carefully checked her whole body first. After checking for a long time, I found that except for purple marks between the eyebrows and the back of the neck, there were no traces of passivity on the body. At that moment, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. That Li Jing untied her clothes, was it really just to help her heal?

"You must have brought good news!" In the hall of the largest stone house in Weiba Mountain City, Li Jing smiled and said to the two messengers sent by the Zhenhai Camp and the Nutao Camp at the same time.

"Yes, General!" The messenger of the Camp was a soldier of about thirty years, and on his crotched robe hung a badge on his chest, on which was a battleship that braved the wind and waves, and on which hung three sails, marking his rank of sergeant major. If it is a sergeant, the number of layers of the battleship is used, the first layer of the warship is the corporal of the naval division, and the third layer is the sergeant. If it is an ordinary soldier, it is marked with a pulp, one pair of pulp indicates a low-class soldier, and five pairs of pulp represent a superior soldier.

The bronze badge on the chest of this first-class sergeant major is still shiny, and at a glance it can be seen that he has just been promoted, and in addition to the promotion of military merits, regardless of the time, the Zhendong Army can only be promoted by the number of years in December of each year. It is very likely that this non-commissioned officer has just been promoted through meritorious service, and it must have been the Angry Waves Battalion that won the battle.

"After the Angry Waves Battalion received the general's military order. Immediately join the second battalion with the soldiers and horses left behind in Dengzhou. Together, the six islands of Changxing Island. After arriving the day before yesterday. The attack was launched on the same day, and after only one day of fighting, the six islands were captured one after another. More than half of the original Goguryeo fleet of 1,000 men and 1,000 infantry on the island were annihilated by us, and the rest were captured. Now, we have completely occupied Changxing Island and the surrounding five large islands, as well as a dozen small islands. The sergeant reported loudly.

The Zhenhai battalion also came to report the news, and he was not willing to report the good news of the weak soldiers, and the Zhenhai battalion had successfully taken more than 50 islands of the Changshan Islands. The Goguryeo army on the island has been completely annihilated and captured.

The hall is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

At this time, in addition to Li Jing and the generals of the Zhendong Army, Wang Pu of Duli Town, Qin Zongshou of the Langya Battalion, and nearly 100 other large and small departments of southern Liaoning gathered here. When they heard the messenger's report, they were all secretly amazed. They only heard Li Jing's order a few days ago to transfer two naval battalions and four infantry battalions from Zhenhai and Nutao to attack the Changshan Islands and Daxing Islands in two ways.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, they had completely taken down these islands. This is not a small island, the Changxing Islands and the Changshan Islands combined, the territory is comparable to Duli Town and Qingni City. Always thought. The city of Jili firmly controls the islands on both the east and the west, serving as their barrier. Now Li Jing said to fight. It was beaten down.

There are also thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides, although they are only vassals of some Jili City, but they should not be underestimated. Wang Pu thought to himself, he didn't say a word. But I couldn't help but think of my daughter's persuasion, and the way to join Li Jing was indeed right. The Changxing Islands are not far from Duli Town, and Duli Town has tried to fight the idea of Changxing Islands several times, but none of them have succeeded. And Li Jing, it was no effort to take the islands. Looking at Li Jing's integration of southern Liaoning now, no one can stop him.

The leaders of the Liaonan forces summoned by Li Jing had different thoughts, but they were obviously shocked by this good news of the Zhendong Army.

Taking advantage of the good news, Li Jing immediately announced the plan for the integration of southern Liaoning that he, Li Zhen, Li Liang, Guo Chengan and other staff members had come up with.

This new plan for the integration of southern Liaoning is to integrate all the large and small forces of the Tang Dynasty in the south of Jili Prefecture into one piece, and put them under the Governor's Mansion of Southern Liaoning, and divide them into eight counties together with Beisha City, Qingni City, and Duli Town, and the newly acquired Changxing Islands and Changshan Islands are also among them.

In addition to the three counties of Beisha, Qingni, and Duli Town, which have been integrated, after the remaining five counties are integrated, the soldiers and horses of each department will also be integrated into two compartments and ten battalions. The 5,000 soldiers and horses in Duli Town were divided into five battalions and one compartment. Among the soldiers and horses of the other departments, Qin Zongshou's Langya Village was divided into one battalion, and the rest of the divisions would be reorganized into nine battalions. Most of the civil and military officials in the remaining five counties and nine battalions in southern Liaoning were selected and appointed by Li Jing from among the powerful forces of the original southern Liaoning departments, and only a few civilian officials were appointed by Li Jing. In addition, one compartment in Duli Town and two compartments in southern Liaoning, most of the officers were also promoted and appointed from among the original southern Liaoning people.

According to Li Jing's plan, the three chambers and fifteen battalions in southern Liaoning, and one chamber of 5,000 soldiers and horses in Duli Town continued to guard Duli Town, and the soldiers and horses were divided into a military town. In addition, there are 10,000 people in the two compartments in southern Liaoning, and each battalion is divided into a separate military town, with the rank of Shangzhen, which is stationed in the mountain cities and dangerous stone villages in each situation in the five counties of southern Liaoning.

At the same time, what Li Jing did not directly separate was that the Zhendong Army would also deploy a lot of soldiers and horses in Liaodong this time, and in the Changxing Islands and Changshan Islands, there would be a division of soldiers and horses from two naval divisions stationed in each of them. In addition, in the four cities of Weiba Mountain City, each will garrison a battalion of the Zhendong Army. The overall plan is that the Zhendong Army will move 5,000 soldiers and horses to the land of southern Liaoning. It is not only to strengthen the defense of southern Liaoning, but also to monitor the 10,000 soldiers and horses of various units in southern Liaoning, which have just been reorganized.

Li Jing listened to Li Zhen's proposal, and Li Jing did not directly appoint the county commanders, county commanders, county lieutenants, and six cao positions in the five counties in southern Liaoning, as well as the official positions of the two wings and ten battalions and ten military towns. Instead, let the original departments in southern Liaoning nominate themselves.

The reason for this is that the original number of soldiers and horses in various ministries combined had already exceeded 30,000 in fragments, but now it has been reorganized into 10,000 people, and there are more monks and fewer official positions. No matter how Li Jing is appointed, there will always be a turn in the end, and he will definitely have an opinion on him at that time. Now Li Jing lets them choose by themselves, all based on their skills and prestige, and if they can't be chosen, they will have fewer opinions about him after all.

The soldiers and horses of the two compartments were finally taken by Shi Shoucheng, the lord of Shicheng City, and Jiang Ju of Shirenzhu Port City. In addition to Duli Town, Beisha, and Qingni City in southern Liaoning. These two are the strongest. They all have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Nominate now. In the end, it is natural that each of them will have a soldier and a horse to serve as an envoy. The other ministries, a little stronger, also got the positions of deputy soldier and horse envoy, Sima, and Duyu Marquis. However, as a coach and instructor, Li Jing ignored everyone's opinions and forcibly transferred people from the Zhendong Army.

Ten battalions and ten generals, except for the wolf tooth battalion of Qin Zongshou, there was no change, and the soldiers and horses of the other departments were reorganized into nine battalions after the most ruthless. The arguments were fierce, and no one wanted their soldiers and horses to be planted. For example, Shi Shoucheng and Jiang Ju have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, of course they want to keep them. But other small forces, although there are only thousands of hundreds, at this time they are not willing to give up, everyone argues for a long time, and after the most Qin Zong guarded Li Jing's signal, he stepped forward and proposed that all the troops and horses gather together for a big competition, and according to their personal skills, the strongest and best 9,000 people were hired. The rest are eliminated.

When this proposal came out, they all thought they were strong. Of course, it's not easy to object, and after the last round, a competition will be set to eliminate the redundant soldiers and horses. As for those who were eliminated, Li Jing did not directly ignore them, but proposed to re-recruit these people into the county officials and unity soldiers. This decision made everyone very satisfied. Although he has changed his name, he is still his own person. However, Li Jing only smiled and said nothing, he was confident that as long as he reorganized these soldiers back and forth a few times, and then took the generous food and salary rewards of the Zhendong Army, who would remember who the old master was.

The competition among the ministries for those military posts is fierce, but for those civilian posts in the five counties, there is not much competition. Not only are they reluctant to compete, but they are also somewhat reluctant to turn into civilian positions. Liaodong has been chaotic for a hundred years, no compared to the interior of the Central Plains, the Central Plains at this time Wufu Domain is almost divided, but the status of civil officials is still very high. But in southern Liaoning, this place has been in chaos for more than 100 years, and the status of literati is very low. These people were unwilling to give up the military power in their hands, and Li Jing arranged some official positions for those officers, and the rest were not eliminated like the soldiers, but arranged to serve in the Zhendong Army.

As for those official positions in the five counties, those people from the various ministries in southern Liaoning were unwilling to ask for them, and Li Jing was happy in his heart. Immediately, a group of people were transferred from among the instructors of the Zhendong Army to serve as county commanders, county commanders, county lieutenants, and six rooms in the five counties. Given this matter, and did not give them a chance to repent.

With the strong deterrence of the Zhendong Army, plus Wang Pu of Duli Town, Li Juyi of Qingni City, Qin Zongshou of Langya Village and others as representatives, each family also saw that Li Jing had quickly wiped out many small forces since he entered southern Liaoning, and even the Goguryeo people were defeated in a row, so they had to ask for peace. They don't have much choice, they can't beat it, so they have to annex. Fortunately, Li Jing is not too domineering, at least ten battalion heads were left for them.

After a quarrel and quarrel, the dust settled after the worst.

A large area of land south of Jili Prefecture in southern Liaoning was later integrated by Li Jing into the Southern Liaoning Governor's Office, which has eight counties under its jurisdiction. In addition, Li Jing also transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses to build six military towns in the four cities of Weiba Mountain City, as well as Changxing Islands and Changshan Islands.

Ten military towns in various departments in southern Liaoning, plus three military towns of Beisha, Qingni, and Duli Town, as well as six military towns such as Weiba and other new military towns of the Zhendong Army, the last of all, there are 19 military towns in southern Liaoning, and there are six chambers, 30 battalions, and 30,000 horses in southern Liaoning.

There are 15,000 men and horses in the three compartments of the various departments in southern Liaoning and Duli Town, and 15,000 men and horses in the three compartments of Li Jing's Zhendong Army.

There are still 10,000 horses in the eastern army of Dengzhou and Daxie Island, so that although the various departments of southern Liaoning are not completely under control, Andong has 40,000 horses under the protectorate.

After the entire southern Liaoning was taken, according to Guo Chengan's statistics, it had an area of 10 million mu, and this is said to be only one-tenth of the entire Liaodong Peninsula. The western Liaoning corridor is also half the size of the eastern Liaodong Peninsula.

However, although there are 10 million acres of land, but southern Liaoning has been chaotic for many years, it is originally bitter cold, and the chaos has been chaotic for many years, except for the coastal Duli Town, Qingnicheng and Beisha City, Shirenzhu, Shicheng Several places have more people and more arable land, the rest of the land is less populated, and there is less arable land.

According to preliminary statistics, the cultivated land in southern Liaoning accounts for only 10 percent of the total area, barely reaching 1 million mu. And the population, too, is the closer to the coast, the more populated, and the farther north, the smaller the population. The actual population of the entire Duli Town, Beisha City, Qingni City, Shirenzhu City, and Shicheng City has reached nearly 500,000 people, and there are still a large number of merchants and other floating populations in Duli Town and other cities, as many as 200,000 people. Excluding the mobile population, there are nearly 700,000 people in the entire southern Liaoning combined, that is to say, in addition to the 500,000 population within the range of the five cities, the population of the other large and small forces is only more than 200,000.

The Zhendong Army moved to Liaodong during this period of time, almost more than 200,000 people, calculated, Li Jing already has a million people in southern Liaoning, and there are more than 300,000 people in Dengzhou, plus more than 100,000 immigrants, counting, under Li Jing's control, the people have exceeded 300,000 households, with a population of more than 1.5 million.

"General, with the land of southern Liaoning, we already truly have the foundation of the foundation." Li Zhen said excitedly to Li Jing that this capital is really thick. 40,000 soldiers, 10 million people, 10 million land!

Li Jing looked at the statistical fold in his hand, and couldn't help but turn a stream of color in his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled. (To be continued......)
