1251 Longhu Daixing
In July, Tianshui has lush water and grass, beautiful mountains and rivers, and the moving parts are not inferior to Zhongzhou.
The confrontation that lasted for more than half a year has made the situation in Longshang extremely tense. With the withdrawal of the Liangzhou army, the tense atmosphere was swept away, and there were even more crowds of people around Shangji, the base camp where the King's Division was stationed.
The king's army increased its troops in Longshang in sequence. At first, Chen Yun's Fenwu Army was the main force, and opened up the situation by defeating the Tuge Wang clan in Lueyang. In the following months, although they had been in a state of confrontation with the Liangzhou army, they had been continuously increasing their troops in Longshang.
At present, the royal army invested 20,000 troops in the entire Longshang. In addition to the elite Fenwu Army, it was the Fufeng King led by Yu Manzhi. Yu Manzhi was also officially appointed by Xingtai, and was responsible for the military affairs of Qinzhou, Longyou, and the matters of Di, Qiang and Hu. As the chief general of the royal army in Longshang, he officially began to stand alone.
"Our army soldiers fought hard in Longdao, and thus became the name of the king's army's martial arts. They even won the full position of the fool!"
After receiving Xingtai's appointment order, Chen Yun couldn't help but complain. Now he is famous in Longshang, and in the end he gets all the money.
Hearing this anger, Yu Manzhi was not grateful: "This situation is complicated and chaotic. Do you think I want to live in this place? If there is a choice, I would like to change it with you and lead the Fenwu Jingjun to strive for me from all directions. However, it seems that the Xingtai masters also know who has the talent level and are afraid to put the important tasks in this regard under Xu Menglang's disciples!"
After defaming each other for many years, such jokes will naturally not be taken seriously. However, Chen Yun really doesn't envy Yu Manzhi's position as the general in the field. Therefore, he made contributions to Longshang before, and he accumulated merits and was named the county duke after the Longshang was pacified. In the entire Guanxi war, there were very few who could be awarded the first-class award with the commander Huan Xuan.
Recently, he frequently complained about Yu Manzhi because he was named the Duke of County. Xiao Yuandong had a lot of food. He sent several letters in a row over the past few days. It was Chen Yun who was founded by his Fenwu Jingjun, who was able to achieve his great rewards today. Chen Yun always had to find another person to pour out this kind of negative emotions.
The young generals of Xingtai generation have gradually grown from the original Shaojin to the backbone of the current royal army, and are increasingly moving to the position of the town garrison. However, if the task is arduous and the situation faced by the generals in these areas is so complicated, there is no doubt that Longshang, which Yu Manzhi took over, is ranked first.
First of all, in terms of military strength, the most powerful force arranged in the war zones in Xingtai is Qingyan, where the Shenmu District is located. The quota for the front line army and military office is 80,000, which is the second only to the Jingzhou Army in the entire Xingtai area.
However, the Jingzhou army was divided into several parts, while the Qingyan side was mainly Shen Mu, while veterans such as Li Hong and Cao Na mainly managed the military affairs and cooperated with the military. It can be said that the essence of the original Xuzhou army was all arranged in the lower Yellow River war zone centered on Taishan County.
However, although there seem to be 20,000 troops in Longshang, the Fenwu Army did not belong to Yu Manzhi's dispatch and would be withdrawn to Zhongzhou by the first half of next year. The main force in Yu Manzhi's hands was mainly more than 6,000 original Tongguan defenders. As for the other troops, the newly built government soldiers who had not yet been tested in Guanzhong.
In terms of logistics, Qinzhou in Longshang is not comparable to other military towns. Xie Ai from Fangtou is leaning against the heart of the entire Yuzhou, and Chen Mu in Qingyan is also in Xuzhou, where the restructuring and operation has long been mature.
However, behind Longshang, there is only one Guanzhong that is still under construction, which is far from reaching a stable output. Moreover, Guanzhong's large base is not just a supply to Longshang. The war in the north of Guanzhong also needs to continue. In the next one to two years, it is necessary to cooperate with Hedong's strategy to Bingzhou.
In terms of tasks that need to be undertaken, the first thing is to do is to stabilize the forces in Longshang. Soon after, they will continue to use troops in Longnan and attack Qiuchi Kingdom, which is entrenched in Wudu, in order to be able to contact Mao Bao's troops, who have been transferred to the governor of Liangzhou, as soon as possible, and communicate with Hanzhong.
It is true that with the withdrawal of Liangzhou Army, Longshang was no longer powerful enough to threaten the king's army, but it does not mean that the task of slapping the local area is easy. Even without mentioning other weak strengths, at least three groups of people in Longshang are likely to be connected, and once connected, they have enough power to compete with the king's army.
These three forces are the powerful Jin people in Longshang, as well as the tribes, the large number of Di people and Qiang people. Among them, the Jin people are mainly concentrated in Longxi, Tianshui and other places. Lueyang is the base camp of the Di people, and Nan'an mainly gathers the Qiang people, and there are also some of the Xianbei in Hexi.
How to balance all parties, ease these forces, and at the same time, can guide them for your own use, this is a very test of the level of the general. Once it is not handled properly, Longshang will fall into a melee again, let alone talk about the foreign strategy of attacking Qiuchi Kingdom in the south.
Therefore, Yu Manzhi's position is really a hard job. Doing his best may not make any contribution, but once he relaxes, he will definitely have it. So much so that Shen Yun laughed at him, gave him a whip of iron thorns, and told him to give him a few whips to encourage and alert him when he has nothing to do on weekdays.
Of course, Xingtai would not allow Yu Manzhi to fight alone. He was wise and defeated the big ones. He also matched him with a large-scale staff team, including Du Mi and others who followed Shen Yun to Long earlier. Du Mi stayed and Ren Tianshui as the prefect of the county, mainly responsible for united front and government affairs.
Moreover, Xingtai opened up the power of Yu Manzhi to be very high, with a total of twenty or thirty articles, especially in terms of personnel appointments. Due to the complexity of human feelings and scenery in Long, in addition to conquering and deterrence, the use of various means of restraint is also the top priority, and the most important of them is naturally the stimulation of MG.
Yu Manzhi was in charge of Longshang, and he had very flexible recommendations to defend the power. The prefect and civil and military officials below could be appointed first. After half a year to a year of trial, they could be transferred to the main position after the Taiwan review and competence. In other military towns, only Xie Ai from Fangtou had this authority, and even Huan Xuan from Guanzhong did not have it.
In fact, there are still many objections to the opening of such a great power to Yu Manzhi. It is not that he is worried that Yu Manzhi will build a private door, but that he will be overwhelmed by his long-term power in Longshang, which will lead to the Long people being arrogant because of his favor. However, after making some small profits, the general decided to grant Yu Manzhi such power.
Since the founding of Xingtai, because it is rigorous in the rules and regulations, it is inevitable that it has a bad reputation of being ruthless and stingy in rewards, and many times it cannot effectively unite local forces.
General Shen also had enough reason to insist on this point. Since the troubled times of the Later Han Dynasty, various systems and etiquette collapsed. Later, although the world was unified in Jin, the destruction of the Chinese and Korean rule over the decades was greater than construction.
Later, the two Zhaos, who were rampant in the north, were the Hu regimes, but only used tyranny to shock, kill, and rewards to be overwhelmed. It can be said that during this period of more than a hundred years, the whole world became unfamiliar with the solemnity of the system.
General Shen had tried to connect with the power of aristocratic families and use the power of a small circle to control the general trend of the whole world, but with the occurrence of the Jiangdong coup, this attempt also went bankrupt. It also made Shen Zhezi realize that this was a temporary choice to make things easier, but it was not the only way.
With the momentum of accumulation and steady progress, coupled with the institutional construction capabilities accumulated by Xingtai, he was fully capable of using powerful force to ensure the export of systems step by step. Guanzhong's strategy management is the practice of this idea. Without gaining widespread support from local forces, Xingtai has the power to recover Guanzhong and restore various institutional constructions.
But there is another difference in Longshang, that is, the power of the Hu people is too prosperous, and they emerge one after another like leeks. To require complete institutional construction, it is not a short-term achievement. It is necessary to gather the energy of a huge empire for long-term and lasting tame and education.
This objective condition is not available to the current Xingtai. Therefore, various means of restraint are needed at present. Deterrence is first and supplemented by kindness and rewards, and does not force the system construction in one step, if various political rules and regulations are imported too violently, it will inevitably inspire the resistance of the powerful people of Jin in Longshang.
When you go out, you are always open-minded and heroes, and you will only calculate gains and losses after closing the door. Although the king's army is stable in Long and the Long soldiers are very rewarding in response, this does not mean that they are really like the long-lasting seedlings that long-lasting rain, and will respond enthusiastically to all king's destiny.
Previously, the Taiwan-Taiwan negotiations were tough during Liangzhou. On the one hand, it was naturally to force Liangzhou to make greater concessions. On the other hand, it was also artificially delaying the confrontation period. When everything was not decided and the atmosphere in Longshang was still tense, we stepped up to mobilize our strength to Longshang.
If the two sides agreed early and without the tense atmosphere of confrontation between the two strong men, the Long soldiers might not be happy to see the royal army gathering too strong forces in Long. Although they took advantage of the royal army, they also had a line of guarding against the royal army's dominance.
Comprehensive suppression of Longshang's men is extremely unfavorable to the establishment of Longshang's strategic position, nor is it conducive to the long-term operation of Longshang and even Hexi. The Jin people are already at a disadvantage in Longshang, and these powerful Jin people are similar to isolated islands in the ocean of Hu people. The existence of the king's orders and righteousness has given these isolated islands the possibility of being connected.
But if the king's destiny is domineering and excessively hurts their interests, it is not ruled out that these people are alienating the king's destiny and joining the power of the Hu people. Originally, the rise of Di and Qiang in history had such cooperation. The existence of these Longmen will be the spark that will be operated for a long time in the future and completely naturalized to Longyou.
Similarly, the Di, Qiang and Hu tribes with great power in Longshan should not simply force them to kill them. Regardless of the losses and consumption in this case, even if all these Di and Qiang are killed, the current Xingtai does not have enough manpower to enrich the ground.
If all the Hu people are killed, if the living space they have vacant cannot be fully utilized as soon as possible, it will only reduce the other Hu forces, allowing them to inherit a broader living space, and thus grow stronger and continue to cause disaster.
For example, in history, the former Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and the so-called Hu and Di chaos were destroyed. The Han people's real results in Shaanxi were quite limited. On the contrary, the Hexi Xianbei tribes, who had always been younger brothers, were particularly active in subsequent history, competing for the capital left over from the Former Qin and the Later Qin Dynasty.
In addition, the Xianbei Tuyuhun, a Murong village who is now living in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is a grandson among the various Hus. Anyone can kick it a few times. However, as other forces in Longshang gradually faded, Tuyuhun grew stronger and stronger, and by the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it became one of the few major forces in Longyou and Hexi. Its vitality is even more outstanding than its original family, the Murong family in Liaodong.
