Section 452 Battle of Korea (1)
The army of the commander of the righteous column sang 'no clothes' and marched into Xiangping.
Unlike when he set off from Chang'an, there were only about 3,000 people with him.
The commander of the Protector of Yizong marched all the way, and constantly transferred local county soldiers to join the expeditionary force on the way.
From the State of Zhao, Yi Zong took away the most elite cavalry of Zhao State and more than 2,000 crossbowmen, and in Yan State, Yi Zong was not ambiguous, and took away the 3,000 Yan soldiers stationed in Jicheng.
On the way, there are countless heroes, heroes, and children of good families, who bring their own dry food and come to defect.
Its enthusiasm even surpassed that of the examination held in Chang'an this year.
Yi Zong walked all the way from Xiaoguan to Xiangping, and when he reached Xiangping, his team had snowballed into an army of 20,000 people.
Among them, the total number of county soldiers and civilians drawn from various places is only 10,000.
The rest of the people are all heroes from all walks of life who have joined the army along the way.
Although these heroes are all from all over the world, they are basically not familiar with each other.
But after entering the army, nothing messy happened.
Like drops of water, they converged into the army of righteous columns from all directions, and after a short period of familiarity, they immediately merged into the army.
Now, the Han army composed of these people, at least in terms of queue and order, is no longer inferior to the ordinary Han soldiers.
The reason why something like this is happening.
It is because the Han family has long adhered to the policy of 'scholars are not taught and not recruited'.
At the grassroots level, the administrative units at the five levels of Ting, Li, Township, County, and County organize local militia to conduct military training in the winter every year.
Moreover, the people of the north are fierce, and the people are generally martial, and even use force to establish their families.
If it is said that in the Qilu region in the south, the landlords are proud of their poems, books, and heirlooms, then the landlords in the north are basically military generals.
The social atmosphere is generally advocating martial arts.
Basically, in the North, even an ordinary yeoman farmer probably knows basic military skills.
And the sons of the landlord are proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts.
More importantly, according to the Han law, men who have reached the age of 23 are required to serve two years of compulsory military service.
One year in the Chang'an garrison, one year in the local or border passes.
This law has gradually loosened in the south of Chengping.
But in the north, because of the threat of the Xiongnu, it was strictly enforced.
In other words, the heroes from all walks of life who come to join the army are either former military personnel or quasi-military personnel who are ready to serve.
This is also why every time the Huns invaded, they found that a city with only a thousand garrisons in a certain place instantly pulled out several times the armed forces.
The further you go into the Han region, the more common this situation becomes.
To be honest, if it weren't for Yizong's strict control and refusal to bring his own dry food and want to join the army, then the number of troops under his command would probably swell to 100,000......
This is not an exaggeration......
In that year, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen personally drove the rebellion to quell the rebellion of Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, and the number of heroes from all walks of life rushed from all directions to serve the king and repay the country's kindness, nearly more than 100,000.
And the soldier source under the strict requirements is naturally quite outstanding.
Almost all the heroes who joined the army were strong men who were more than seven feet tall, had large shoulders and round waists, and were proficient in the use of various weapons.
By the time this army came to Xiangping, it had actually completed the run-in.
The entire army, with Yu Linwei as the backbone, and the middle-level officers at the team rate and Sima level are basically from Yu Linwei.
In this way, the whole army is controlled, such as the arm command.
After the army entered the city, Yizong unceremoniously took the county guard yamen of Xiangping County as his headquarters.
The county guards and county lieutenants of Liaodong County are now all vacant, so it is Wang Xian, the county capital, who is actually in charge of the affairs of Liaodong County.
After Yi Zong entered the city, he immediately called Wang Xian to the county guard yamen to discuss matters.
Wang Xian is an old official.
When Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in the sixth year of the Middle Dynasty, he was already the capital of Liaodong County.
The so-called county capital, that is, the capital officials, Emperor Taizong placed, great power, usually on behalf of the county guard to inspect the local county, township, pavilion, li, impeachment of lawlessness, punishment of the strong, arrest bandits, investigation and punishment of corrupt officials.
Before Yi Zong came to Xiangping, he had already investigated Wang Xian, who had been a capital official in Liaodong County for more than ten years.
The reason why Wang Xian has been trapped in the position of a capital official and has not been promoted is not because he lacks ability or political achievements.
On the contrary, this official has been the capital of Liaodong County for more than ten years, and he has been well assessed every year.
It stands to reason that he should have been promoted.
But......
In his early years, this royal official once served as a Cao Lingguan in the prime minister's yamen, and was the confidant of the then prime minister Zhang Cang.
After Zhang Cang's downfall, if he can still be promoted, then hell!
And, this matter, from the side, can also prove that this royal official has real talent and learning.
Otherwise, the position of the governor is the confidant of the county.
If he didn't have any skills, Wang Xian would have been thrown down.
can make the successive county guards for more than ten years not be replaced, this Wang Xian's power and means can be seen in general!
Yi Zong remembered that before leaving Beijing, Zhang Tang and Ning Chengdu came to him and taught him some common sense and key points to pay attention to in grassroots officialdom.
One of them: be careful of the officials, especially the pen and knife officials.
Zhang Tang and Ning Cheng even showed up to say, Xiang Yizong listed how several officials dug pits for Shangguan, and then buried Shangguan's examples.
Yizong was ordered to conquer Korea this time, and he hoped to cooperate well with the magistrates.
However, if someone disobeys the yang and the yin, deliberately stumbles and goes into the pit, then the righteous column is already ready to kill!
Although Yizong is young, in the eyes of others, he is just a fortunate minister who relies on Sister Nai and suddenly reaches a high position.
However, since he became the captain of the horse, he has been in charge of the palace ban, set up the Yulin Guard, responsible for training, and then has been responsible for various important public security work in Chang'an City many times.
This time he was ordered to go on the expedition, and along the way, he controlled the entire army in his hands, controlled it to a certain extent, and on the march, he was disciplined, and he did not commit any crimes in the autumn, just like a veteran.
How can such a person be afraid of murder?
It didn't take long for Wang Xian, the capital of Liaodong County, to wear an official uniform and enter the county guard's mansion with a belt, and came to Yizong.
"Xiaguan Liaodong County and County are all showing up to meet the captain!" After seeing Yizong, although Wang Xian was a little surprised by the young nature of this Protector Lieutenant, Wang Xian was not a fool, after the army entered the city, he immediately entered the military camps in the city and outside the city in an orderly manner, and did not disturb the people, Wang Xian could see that the commander of this army was a character.
Even if there are no such things, just the fact that this Elder Sister of the Protector is the favorite concubine of today's son and is also pregnant with Long Zhong's righteous wife, it is enough to make anyone can't wait to hug this golden thigh.
Of course, Wang Xian also wants to hug!
Now Liaodong County is vacant.
The imperial court also intended to conquest the non-subordinate Koreans.
As long as he has served the army that has gone out and the grain and grass supplies have been served, after the victorious division of the army returns to the court, how can he be missing in the military merit?
At that time, at least you can mix with a county lieutenant, and even directly serve as a county guard! R1152
