Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1096 Reorganization and vassalization

The entire July in Luoyang is spent in a joyous atmosphere.

The new saint came to the throne, and in order to give an explanation to the old brothers, he rewarded them generously.

Li Tangbin was awarded the title of Lu Guogong, which is the most dazzling.

Gao Renhou was awarded the Duke of Fengtian County, and there were only [-] households in the food seal, but he assisted the King of Qin to enter the Shannan West Road, made many contributions, and added [-] households.If Li Maozhen was defeated, then Shannan West Road and Jiannan East and West Towns would be captured successively, and the duke title would not be lost.

The saint's son-in-law and son-in-law Liang Hange was promoted to the Duke of Liyang County, and two thousand households were given food seals.At present, he is leading the army to harass Daibei and Khitan, and if he accumulates more credits, the Duke of the county is in sight.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom, the first priority was military merit.

Military merit is the best way to increase your rank.The credit accumulated by civil servants for many years is not as good as someone else's victory in a big battle.Therefore, the warriors who did not get the title or were dissatisfied with their own titles, one by one, geared up and tried their best to get a chance to fight.

In short, the desire to fight is strong.

Shao Shude did a few things this month that were not big or small, but had to be done.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhe Fangai was conferred the title of empress, and the concubines were conferred successively.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, He was conferred the title of "Empress Tang Shuxian".

On the ninth day of July, the eldest daughter Shao Guoer was canonized as Princess Huile, the second daughter Shao Mu was canonized as Princess Heyang, the third daughter Shao Li was canonized as Princess Meiyuan, and the fourth daughter Shao Ze was canonized as Princess Lantian...

On July [-]th, the Dragon Tiger, Pengri, and Pengsheng armies arrived in Luoyang. Shao Shude went to Dongduyuan in person and began to reorganize the eighth forbidden army.

There are 6000 soldiers in the Longxiang Army, 700 in the Dragon and Tiger Army, [-] in the Japanese Army, and [-] in the Holy Army, for a total of [-] people.

Shao Shude ordered the four armies to form the left and right Longxiang armies.

In addition, [-] veterans were drawn from the left compartment of the Chishui Army and the Yicong Army to make up for it, and they were swapped with the left and right Longxiang Army.

Yin Anzhi and the palace guards also mobilized hundreds of people to join the left and right Longxiang Army.

The remaining shortage will be supplemented by fully trained recruits provided by the Yunzhou Academy and the Shanzhou Academy.

After the reorganization was completed, there were [-] soldiers in the army, and Ge Congzhou served as the military envoy, Wang Qianyu, the former deputy of the Chishui Army, served as the deputy envoy, Zhu Zhen served as the Marquis of Duyu, He Delun served as the envoy of Du Youyi, and Yan Bao served as the envoy of soldiers and horses in the left wing. , Ye Likecheng, the commander of the Yunzhou State Army, served as the envoy of the right wing.

Dai Siyuan and Li Si'an were transferred to the Tiande Army and served as envoys to the left and right sides.The chief officers of the Ministry were readjusted, and Cai Songyang, He Gui, Xie Yanzhang, and Yang Sheng assumed four major positions in turn.

Li Renhan was transferred to Tielin Army and served as the envoy of soldiers and horses in the left wing.

Hua Wenqi served as the deputy envoy of the Gongchen Army, Liu Zhijun was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Chishui Army, and Kang Huaiying was transferred to the You Yi envoy of the Chishui Army.

After this reorganization, a large part of Zhu Quanzhong's military legacy disappeared.After counting and counting, there are probably only more than 1 people left under the account of Dinghui You***.

""Shang Shu" Yun Tianzi' patrols every five years." Shao Shude sat in the Eastern Capital Garden, looked at the soldiers of the Longxiang Army who were practicing, and said, "After ascending the throne, he has not yet gone on patrol. You have to practice hard. After the Double Ninth Festival, you will be ready." Follow me eastward."

"I obey the order." Ge Congzhou and others responded.

Among the more than ten imperial troops, only he and Kang Yanxiao climbed to high positions among Liang Dijiang's descendants, which was not easy. …

No matter how talented and ambitious you are, if you are on the wrong team, there is nothing you can do.If you are full of talent and learning, you can only be buried in the weeds.

Is it a pity?It's a pity, but not a pity.

In troubled times, the most indispensable thing is talent.

Opportunity is the hardest thing to get.

Ge Congzhou got the chance, and he was ready to repay the saint.

"Your Majesty has just landed on the Great Treasure, and is about to go on a tour, is it a little hasty?" Secretary Taishi Ling and Xie Tong, a male from Zaoyang County, asked worriedly.

"There can be no trouble." Shao Shude said.

The emperors of the Five Dynasties were all military leaders.It feels so good to be back in the military, like coming home.If the army is not by your side, then you will feel helpless.

Leading a large army on an eastward tour, who is full enough to support the rebellion? Besides, the officials and people in Luoyang are very angry now, and no one will rebel before Shao Shude goes against the law.

Xie Tong stopped talking.

Eastern tour is not just patrolling, the meaning of supervising the war is very

Very thick.

******
The news of Emperor Tang's Zen position spread in all directions at an astonishing speed.

Jinyang was the first to get the news.

At that time, Li Keyong and his family were celebrating the festival, enjoying themselves happily.

After hearing this, his face suddenly darkened.

Liu looked at him worriedly.

The eldest son Li Luoluo and the second son Li Cunxu also put down their wine bottles and looked at each other.

"Husband..." Just when Liu thought her husband was about to get angry, Li Keyong suddenly smiled.

"Isn't this a preordained thing?" Li Keyong looked at his family and asked.

The son-in-law Wang Ke was stared at by the father-in-law, and he could only agree with him, "My uncle is right. Shao-- Shude rebellious, and the heart of disobedience has long been known to everyone. I heard that the Tang emperor--"

"Saint." Li Ke corrected him.

"Yes." Wang Ke corrected immediately, and continued: "The sage of the Li family——"

"A saint is a saint, what kind of saint from the Li family?" Li Keyong glared at him.

"Yes." Wang Ke was about to cry. At the same time, he also felt evil. Why did he feel that Shao Shude's ascension to the throne was more orthodox?Maybe it's because the Li family sage has long been misnamed.

"When the sage was fortunate in Luoyang, when he met the people on his way, they all called Shao Sheng." Wang Ke said: "At that time, Shao's traitor had already been revealed."

Li Ke held the wine bottle and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Ke suddenly became a little worried. Don't be angry and send troops south to attack Luoyang.Hedong can't stand the toss.If you lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you resist Xia Bing?

Mrs. Liu gently took Li Keyong's hand.

Li Keyong let out a long breath, and said: "Shao Thief finally has a bit of conscience. The minister's festival is already a big loss, and if he kills the king again, it will be unjustifiable. The sage's conferment of Le'an County King, alas, is still decent."

It's been a while since he called out the word "Shao thief".Either call him by his first name, or call his brother-in-law when he is in a good mood, which will be commensurate with "Shao thief", which shows that he still has a grudge in his heart.

Wang Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, it doesn't look like a fight.

His wife Li gave him a blank look.Useless things are far worse than my uncle's heroism.

"Hedong still obeys the Tang Dynasty, and does not recognize the puppet dynasty of the Shao thief." Li Keyong drank the wine in his cup, exhaled, "what's the first year of Jianji, I don't recognize it! Dongyi responded to the official letter Contacts are still subject to 'God bless two years."...

Li Luoluo and Li Cunxu looked at each other again.

This is my father's last stubbornness.

Dissatisfied with his uncle's establishment of a new dynasty, but he didn't want to fight, so he could only lie to himself.

Father is old!

******
Yang Xingmi was so angry with his son these two days.

You say he is stupid, no way.In many cases, it can be understood at a glance, which is very clever.

You can say that he is cowardly, but that's not the case.When speaking about martial arts, take the lead and charge first.

You say he is cruel, let alone.It's just a bit of a son-in-law's temper if you hold on to death, but you won't ruin the people.

Yang Xingmi didn't know how to describe his son.

Arrogance and stubbornness are true. Although martial arts are acceptable, he prefers poetry and prose, and communicates more with literati.At the same time, he loves enjoyment, ostentation, and extravagance, which makes Yang Xingmi, who is used to thrift, very dissatisfied.

But what about dissatisfaction?He is the eldest son, 16 years old this year, the second son is only five years old, and the third and fourth sons are even younger.In this world, do you dare to hand over your family business to children?Can't!

"Shao thief's sons are all leading the army, but my son is so stubborn." Yang Xingmi sighed, "How can I trust you with the family fortune in the future?"

Yang Wo said disapprovingly, "Shao's perverse behavior and the establishment of a false dynasty will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the people of insight in the world. He is afraid that he can't take care of himself now, so why should you be so worried?"

"Is the righteousness of the family and the country comparable to cutting the neck?" Yang Xingmi looked at his son and asked.

Yang Wo was at a loss for words, and then said again: "My lord, why should you be so worried? The Shao thief built a puppet dynasty, and the internal chaos must first be chaotic for a while. He is not young, and there are still Hedong, Weibo, Chengde, Cangjing, and Yi in the north. We must wait for the strong feudal clans to resist, and even the Khitan people have a bad relationship with them and attack them repeatedly. He is afraid that he will not have the time to go south to Jianghuai until he dies."

"Are you so ambitious?" Yang Xingmi said angrily, "There is a corner of peace, but a dead end. If you have the idea of ​​eating, drinking and having fun in Jianghuai, enjoying wealth and wealth, then Huainan cannot be kept, and Jiangnan cannot be kept. Even if Shao thief has no time to go south, When it comes to his son's generation, what do you have to resist?"

Yang Wo couldn't hold back, and muttered, "My lord, why are you so angry? Last year's Huaibei battle, our army tried its best, but we couldn't defeat the Shao bandits..."

"Shut up!" Yang Xingmi raised his hand, wanting to slap his son, but his heart softened when it happened. I only got this son in my 30s, and I have always doted on him, so I really can't let him go.

"Get out!" he roared angrily.

Yang Wo was frightened and ran away.

Yang Xingmi sat down dejectedly.

Shao Shude established the puppet dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, which is supposed to be a good opportunity to gather the world's princes to besiege him.

But Yang Xingmi didn't have the spirit anymore, and Huainan didn't have the spirit anymore.Last year's Huaibei War made many people fearful. Since this year, Donghe City, Linhuai City, and Lianshui have been lost one after another, and there is no stronghold on the north bank of Huaihe River.The Huainan Group he established with painstaking efforts can no longer pose a threat to Shao Xia.

That's all!That's all!It's better to clean up the interior and pave the way for the son who is useless.

Li Keyong didn't respond as a clan, why am I bothering?

******
Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, the two leaders of the South and the North, did not have any substantive reaction to Shao Xia's establishment of the pole, except for verbal abuse.

Their seemingly cowardly response was naturally seen by other princes.

Beginning in late July, military leaders successively sent envoys to Shangluo to proclaim themselves ministers.

The first to act was Zhao Kuangning, the governor of Jingnan.After sending Yao Ji to offer auspiciousness, he sent his younger brother Kuang Ming to bring a large number of treasures to Beijing, proclaiming himself a minister of the Jingnan states, and begging to receive the envoy's axe from the Great Xia Jingnan Jiedu.

The second person to act was Hangzhou Qian Liu.

He sent his 15-year-old eldest son, Qian Chuancui, to board the ship with his belongings, sail north to Haizhou, land on the shore, and head to Luoyang to proclaim himself a minister.

Wang Shenzhi, the governor of the mighty army, sent his brother Wang Shenbang to Beijing to present the official seal and festival of the Tang Dynasty, intending to obtain the canonization of the new dynasty.

……

There are not many warlords in the south who are ambitious, perhaps only a few such as Yang Xingmi, Ma Yin, and Li Maozhen.

What they want is still the separatist side, to sit and watch the success or failure of the Central Plains, and finally make a bet.

Whoever is the emperor in the Central Plains, they will surrender to whomever, without any principles, without any integrity.

Shao Shude established a new dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It seems that he did not arouse any hatred, and the external environment hardly changed.

This is the result of his 20 years of fighting, as the saying goes, it will come naturally.

And the successive arrival of these southern military leaders actually posed a problem for him, how should he get along with them?
