The Han people in Liaodong were mixed with the Hu people, and people's hearts were much more fluctuating than in the Central Plains. When An Lushan Shi Siming raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying among the people that the earth's fortune would be the king of the world in the future. Later, the Central Plains were stormed and the Khitan was born again. The Liao Dynasty classics record that Taizu Yelu Abaoji once shot a black dragon in Shangjing, which fell to the west of Huanglong Mansion. It is rumored in Liaodong that the dragon vein should sooner or later on the true dragon emperor. Han Chang raised an army to rebel against Liao, and most of the Han army claimed to be the "members who follow the dragon".

The Han Army General's Office was able to stand in Liaodong for decades without dispersing, and also took over the leadership of the Xia and Song dynasties. The Han family was the co-lord of the Han army, but the young master of the Han family must first be recognized by the generals after he succeeded to the throne and took power. However, after the status of the superiors and subordinates was determined, the rules were actually extremely strict. The early days of Han Ningshuang's purge of Han Kuang's party members were common in recent decades. Although it restricted the development of the Han army itself, it did remove most of the half-hearted people.

Xu Detai learned a lot when he was young. When he joined the Han army, he was very generous and fierce, and wanted to assist the wise ruler to drive Hu Xinghan and make achievements. After decades of fighting, although he was the third leader of Kaizhou Village, his ambition was gradually eroded. Han Ningshuang's performance made the old ministers of the Han army quite pleased, and the idea of ​​"following the dragon" in the past emerged involuntarily. After Zhao Xingde arrived in Liaodong, he recruited refugees, organized troops, and conquered cities and lands. In Xu Detai's eyes, it seemed that he was accumulating strength, recruiting heroes, and making great efforts. He used to be secretly guarded, but now he saw Han Ningshuang and Zhao Xingde getting closer and closer, and he had some thoughts of being happy to see it happen. However, this thought was hidden in his heart and did not dare to express it at all. These were not the ways of ministers.

This is also a different position. If it were Jin Changtai and others, they would never think that Zhao Xingde was self-reliant. Although the Xia Kingdom only occupied Guanzhong Bashu and was divided into the Song Dynasty to defend the Central Plains. However, the soldiers looked at the four countries and looked at the barbarians in all directions, just like the people of the Zhou Dynasty looked at the barbarians in all directions. All the Xia Kingdom, from ministers to soldiers and people, had their own way of defending themselves. So what if the high-ranking officials of the Liao Kingdom showed their titles? The power was as powerful as Han Chang, and they died in the end, which was far less stable than the position of the lieutenant of the Guardian Mansion. The Xia Kingdom lives more abundant than the people in the leading country. Most of the soldiers had great gains in the year of granting land, positions, titles and salaries, and the annual income of the Yinhu family. A while ago, the Eighth Battalion of Chengying issued dozens of moats. The soldiers of Chengying Camp were calm, and the poor garrisons were drooling.

In the Han army camp under Liaoyang City, the garrison soldiers were lined up in five rows, each with one hundred people. Under the command of the centurion, they completed the five steps of brushing the gun chamber, loading ammunition, tamping, setting up guns, and ignition. This kind of musket made with fine iron is also called hand cannons in Liaodong, which is different from iron cannons. Therefore, this musket gun battalion was called hand cannons by the Han army. After hearing this, Zhao Xingde only smiled bitterly. Because the iron used was a bit crude,

During the trial production, the wall of the musket had to be thickened a lot. This made the body of the musket much heavier than that of the Song Dynasty. If it was modified into a long spear about 100 meters as Zhao Xingde had previously imagined, it would be difficult for the garrison soldiers to hold it because the front end was too heavy. Later, the gun handle had to be shortened. In order to use the extra weight, a small axe was also installed at the bottom of the gun stab. Many of the garrison soldiers were from logging, so they were familiar with the axes.

The enemy-front shooting commands of the Musket Battalion are the simplest of five, but the entire operation is subdivided into more than twenty. Zhao Xingde's requirement is that the movements of each hundred-man garrison must be consistent, just like a queue drill, the entire team who cannot do it will be punished.

Liu Zhijian is now the governor of the Fifth Garrison Battalion, accompanied by his voices of "one!", "two!", "three!", "four!", and the neat and coherent movements of the garrison soldiers actually have a very familiar and flowing beauty.

"It's so good to train troops like this. Is it useful in war?" Gao Bolong said with a lip curl. Just the day before yesterday, Han Ningshuang specially asked Wang Xuansu to train the hand-cannon camp in accordance with the methods of Xia State Camp to make up for the shortcomings of the Han army's archers.

"You will know after going to the battlefield." Tong Yunjie said in a deep voice. He was sincerely impressed by Zhao Xingde. Now he is in charge of the Han army artillery battalion and is always enthusiastic about explaining the intentions of Xia State Camp to his colleagues. Zhao Xingde and Xia State Camp have gone from being suspected to accept among the Han army generals, and Tong Yunjie has made a lot of efforts.

"Everyone of our new recruits has seen blood. Although they usually yell so hard, if they really want to get into the battle, the Liao cavalry rushed over, I am afraid that they will be afraid of being brave. The launch of this hand cannon is extremely troublesome. If they are not trained carefully, I am afraid that few people will be able to make a sound. This method of training seems clumsy, but in fact it is very safe."

Gao Bolong suddenly realized his mind, "It's true, this method is easy to use." He looked up at the Xia Guoying not far away and sighed, "It's a pity that our Han army has shallow foundations. If there were more than 100,000 elite troops from the General Manager's Mansion back then, I'm afraid I'll take it down in the capital."

In the tent of the lieutenant, bows, swords and other objects were hung on the wall, under an oil lamp, Zhao Xingde sat cross-legged in front of the desk and was reading a letter. Chen Dong asked him how to use the refugees to cultivate the village soldiers. After seeing Chen Dong's whimsical idea of ​​using the demoted scholar to serve as an officer, Zhao Xingde couldn't help but feel a little hoarse. Zhao Xingde frowned. Looking at the tone in the letter, Chen Shaoyang was very determined. He concluded that if it were not the case, there would be no restraint overseas. The so-called village soldiers were actually the same as rebellion. However, the different paths of civil and military in the Song Dynasty were very different. Scholars did not learn fists, feet, swords and guns, and at most read a few military books. Even if an officer was appointed, they would have no prestige in the camp.

"In this way," Zhao Xingde pondered, "this village soldier can only practice according to the method of the musket garrison battalion." He lowered his head and wrote a paragraph of the training method of the musket garrison battalion, suggesting that in order to avoid the unbearable war, Chen Dong, in addition to using the scholastic scholars of the Society for the Society as officers, he selected a group of excellent instructors who were usually responsible for teaching skills, but did not care about leading troops. Officers should teach soldiers' principles several times a day, one should make them understand righteousness and shame, and the other should make them play their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and enhance the prestige of the officers.

As for Chen Dong's idea of ​​using punishment to control refugees with punishment, Zhao Xingde agreed very much, and only reminded him that the key to punishment and rewards is consistent. He must not think that "rituals are not inferior to common people, and punishment is not superior to doctors." Leave the selfish wishes of officials everywhere to let scholars stand outside punishment and rewards. Otherwise, there will be no rules and regulations, and these refugees will sooner or later rebel, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.

Because of the busy military service, Zhao Xingde had no time to carefully write, and immediately sent the letter to him. Then he stood up, wore a horizontal knife and bow and arrow on his body, and went out to inspect the camp. Now outside Liaoyang City, the atmosphere before the war was filled with the atmosphere before the war. The iron barrel cannons and stone throwers of the Jin Kingdom were also transported one after another, and there were thousands of them. Whenever the stone bombs were fired, it seemed like there was a rain of stones on the top of the city. The Han army artillery battalion seemed less important, but because the battle between the Jin and Liao was about to be imminent, the conflict between the Han and Jin was temporarily suppressed, and Wanyan Wuyaren even sent a batch of military rations to Han Ningshuang.

The Jin army continued to drive from Chenzhou, occupying the terrain under the city of Liaoyang, setting up camps, as if they were planning to wait for the Liao army to come to fight. Just outside the Xia State camp, Jin soldiers wearing iron armor kept driving war horses to practice and rushing up the low walls, crossing trenches, fighting and fighting, etc. There were scenes of people and horses neighing, smoke and dust covering the sun, and killing sounds shook the sky.

Soon, the vanguard of the Liao reinforcements reached the periphery of Liaoyang. The commander of the Jin army, Wanyan Ci, sent a brave general Lou Shi to lead the army to fight. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Liao cavalry was defeated. This battle defeated the spirit of the Liao army. The Liao army was 150,000, and it was actually stationed a hundred miles away from the Liaoyang city. It was not daring to advance. Xiao Suxian, the left-behind leader of Tokyo, had no choice but to send a messenger to Shangjing for help.

The Emperor of Liao Kingdom Yelu Dashi issued an order to publicly rebuke Yelu Tiege. Yelu Tiege wrote a letter to apologize, also known that the Jin army had many soldiers and strong field battles, and the reinforcements were small, so the Cang Promotion Army was probably in trouble. Yelu Dashi had no choice but to lead a cavalry of 100,000 and 50,000 infantry, and claimed to be a 400,000 army, and personally led the army to Liaoyang.

After Yelu Dashi left Shangjing, some ill-hearted people immediately started to move. After confirming that Yelu Dashi had left, the king of the North Court, Yelu Zhangnu, was supported as the emperor, and the rebels gathered tens of thousands of troops to siege the imperial city. Empress Xiao Tabuyan and his concubine Xiao Sesse summoned the palace guards to guard the palace to fight to the death. The boy camp, who was favored by the queen, also came to the city to help defend. The rebels besieged for a day and a night, but failed. On the third day of the rebellion, the Northern Expedition Army, which was supposed to be hundreds of miles away, suddenly returned, and some of the riots in Shangjing, opened the city gate for the royal army.

At the beginning of Yelu Dashi's uprising, he called for the restoration of the ancestral system and to rule the world with the Khitan powerful people. He also agreed to distribute all Han slaves to various Khitan tribes. However, after he ascended the throne, although he reopened the eight Khitan tribes, he replaced many Khitan tribe leaders with his confidants and still firmly controlled his authority. Most of the slaves and wealth originally distributed to the tribes were left to the clan leader. As a result, Yelu Dashi directly assigned these to the warriors, and the warriors in the military were directly under the command of the centurion, the commander of the thousand men, and the Privy Councilor of the North Court, which was equivalent to taking away most of the rights of the clan leader of each tribe. In the past two years, although his prestige has grown increasingly, there are also many people who secretly wish to crush him to ashes.
