Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

"May I ask what kind of festival this is?" Li Cunjin wondered as he watched every house decorated with lanterns and festoons on the streets of Beiping Mansion.

"Today's birthday, Changchun Festival." The sergeant who escorted him said impatiently.

On Sushenfang Street, every household is cooking fish, and the aroma is overflowing.As the must-eat food for warriors designated by the sage, everyone has been hungry for a long time, so they want to find a restaurant quickly and have a bite.

"Long Spring Festival? Isn't it like Tang Xuanzong's Changchun Festival?" Li Cunjin asked.

"What is Tianchang Festival?" The sergeant was stunned.

He only knew that Emperor Xizong's birthday was Yingtian Festival, and the birthday of Prince Le'an was Jiahui Festival, but he didn't know anything else.

Li Cunjin shook his head.He already knew that the Changchun Festival was Shao Shude's birthday.In the early Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of festivals like this, but few people really celebrated them. After all, the emperor’s reign ranged from a few months to decades. When you were there, everyone gave me a face. During this festival, you were not there. Yes, if it is not compulsory, who will pay it back?

This kind of festival is lifeless.

"You old man, are you laughing at my ignorance?" The sergeant was furious, and he drew out his scabbard to strike.

"I am the righteous nephew of a saint, do you dare to fight?" Li Cunjin asked with a sneer.

If someone is killed or injured, the Recruit Academy will make up for it directly.You are dead and wounded, but there are not so many recruits to replenish.

"Go to Luoyang yourself, and please the queen to Beiping." Shao Shude said again.

Li Cunjin's family members were also in Weizhou, and they were sent to Beiping Mansion together with the captives. In this battle, more than ten thousand soldiers and soldiers from the Wei Xin Dynasty were captured before and after.

It is difficult to win the battle at this level.

Li Cunjin walked in slowly, looking around.

The northwest wind blew suddenly, mixed with rain and snow, cold to the bone marrow.

The Xia people resolutely refused to leave, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.Frustrated and desperate, Li Cunjin thought it would be good to surrender to his uncle, so he opened the city.But he was kind, he sent someone to inform Li Siyuan before his arrival, Siyuan retreated in horror, and the battle of Weizhou came to an end.

The Xia people have been besieging for a long time, and they have been defeated repeatedly, and the veterans of the division are exhausted.Later, Li Siyuan led his army to flank and defeated the Xia people, and Weizhou took a breath.

The sergeant hesitated for a long time when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't do anything. He could only sneer: "You are older than a saint, and you are willing to degenerate and call yourself a nephew. Are you ashamed?"

The fire in the hall was burning fiercely. Although it was not as warm as spring, as a prisoner, it was not bad to have this kind of treatment.

The Xiaojie Army is gone.Huo Liangsi, the military envoy, served as the commander of the first town of Yanshan Township. The town has 7000 people and is temporarily stationed in Ruzhou.The second town has about 6000 people and is still being established.

"The sage has just lowered his virtue. Based on the [-] soldiers sent by Wei Xin, he mobilized [-] soldiers from Khitan, Xi, Mohe, Sogdian, Goguryeo, and Turks from Li Neng, Li Siyi, and Li Shaoye to build an army." Li Xiu He also said: "The sage personally bestowed the military title 'Hengye'. In the past, the deputy envoy of the Xiaojie Army sealed him as the military envoy, the king was the deputy envoy, Zhang Wen, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, was the Marquis of Duyu, and Gao Youqing, the commander of the Dengzhou Army. As the envoy of the capital Youyi. After the rectification is completed, the Hengye Army will go to Yingzhou to guard."

In the end, Hedong still lost in the comparison of hard power.

Li Cunjin smiled awkwardly, and said, "I've heard people say it in my spare time, and I don't know if it's true or not."

With the gradual increase of local food, meat and milk production, this kind of immigration construction behavior can form a positive feedback, and the money and food resources invested by the imperial court will gradually decrease, and will be replaced by technology, management, education, etc. resource.

"It's thanks to Commander Li." Li Cunjin laughed.

Next year, we will continue to recuperate. At the same time, we will focus on relocating the family members of the Longwu Army sergeants, and carry out the population statistics of the Fubing tribe.Under the peaceful and stable order, the extremely superior natural endowment of Anton Mansion will gradually emerge.

Of the [-] Yokoye troops, half of them were the Youzhou Fanhu tribe who had surrendered. To put it bluntly, it was just to weaken their strength, Shao Sheng's old trick.Whether it is consumed by foreign wars or dissatisfied with the imperial rebellion, it doesn't matter, as long as it can be consumed.

"Go in, just wait for the punishment, don't abscond." The sergeant handed it over to the state soldiers, gave him an order, and then left.

"Unexpectedly, such news spread in Jinyang!" Li Xiu said happily.

The military leader, unless he is old on the sick bed, or he is really at the end of his rope.Otherwise, if you let him disarm and return to the field, he will feel really uncomfortable and feel uncomfortable everywhere.Li Cunjin is such a person.

The transfer of the German army as a whole to the government soldiers has almost been handled.Since Tang Qianning established the Andong Mansion in the early seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, the families of soldiers have been continuously relocated. So far, there are more than [-] households.The deduction of those who died in battle and those who did not request to relocate their family members in advance is almost over.

After thinking about this, Li Cunjin voted directly.Even he persuaded Li Siyuan to surrender, but he did not respond.

It's mid-December, Li Cunjin sighed and walked into the middle hall.

According to Li Cunjin's previous information, more than 1 people in the right battalion of the Fifth Battalion of the New Army have been dispersed and distributed to various units on the Daibei and Lanshi battlefields to supplement the battle losses.

"The sage is so generous and benevolent, and even I and other surrendered generals are so trustworthy. I am so grateful, I don't know what to say." Li Cunjin was very moved when he heard it.

"Now the Lord is a believer." Li Cunjin sighed, "My whole family can be reunited, this is the virtue of the Holy One."

Within four years, nearly [-] households of people from Weibo Zhuzhou were also relocated.This year, the family members of the Qingyi Army who were willing to relocate their families were sent over in a hurry, and the whole year's immigration work came to an end.

"Don't worry Li Shijun. The sage sent me to ask, there may be a shortage of expenses in the mansion. If there is any, just ask and send it here. In addition, Shijun's family is still on the way, and they will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and the family will be reunited." .” Li Xiu said.

The Fifth Battalion New Army, which was once at its peak, once had 7 to [-] people after it was incorporated into Khitan.But the middle battalion was pulled out to make up for the war damage, and now the right battalion has also been dispersed to make up for it. Counting the Khitans who have fled to Youzhou one after another, it is now less than [-], maybe around [-]. The loss is very huge. of.

Later, more than [-] people from the left wing of the Iron Forest Army came to reinforce them. Li Siyuan sent his adopted sons Congke and Congzhang to defeat them, but the Feilong Army came again and turned defeat into victory, defeating the two generals.

As soon as Li Xiu came, the sergeants were no longer weak, and brought preserved fruit, wine, and even boiled two large yellow croakers on the spot.

"You don't need to worry about it." Li Cunjin said with a smile.

"So that's it." Li Cunjin's heart skipped a beat.The places my uncle arranged for my nephews are good, so can I also...

There are no servants in the house, but dozens of warriors.Listening to the conversation just now, this should be a soldier from Youzhou—no, it should be a soldier from Beiping Prefecture.

When Zhao Wang gets married, of course the queen must be present.The daughter of the Zhang family still lives in Luoyang, so they came here together this time.There are also various things needed for the wedding, and Pugu Cheng'en feels that he needs to discuss with Wang Yanfan and Qiu Silian.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu, the commander of the Beiping Fuzhou Army who had only been in office for a few months, came to visit the saint's eldest nephew in person——Li Xiu, a native of Xiazhou, the son of Li Chong, a martial arts student, died in the battle when he attacked Zhu Yanshou in Luzhou. The sage recorded his son to study and practice martial arts at Longchi Palace in Anyi, and later served as the commander of the Yizhou Army.

"Haha." Li Cunjin smiled heartily and said, "We are all colleagues, so we need to get closer in the future."

"The servant is here."

"It's very good for a saint to treat his relatives." Li Xiu said while pouring wine for him.

The Tielin army pursued and was defeated by Li Siyuan's ambush, and retreated in defeat.

******
"The Anton Mansion has been quiet for a year this year, so I took a big breath." Shao Shude said, looking at the request form sent by his eldest son to buy Yingkou County.

But it's all worth it.With its superior geographical location and convenient transportation conditions, Andong Mansion will definitely become a major tool for the imperial court to control the Northeast in the future.

In fact, Li Cunjin once persuaded King Jin to give up the prominent part of Weizhou.Anyway, Youzhou is gone, so what's the use of keeping Weizhou?When the Xia people attack, you have to send troops to rescue them.Together, can you guarantee to win again and again?Even if they win, the casualties will not be small.If you continue to stick to Weizhou, you will only be bloodletted by the Xia people, and you will not be able to hold on in the end.

"That's right." Li Xiu smiled and said, "Drink."

Li Cunjin picked up the wine bowl and drank it down, sighing: "For so many years of fighting and killing, I want to fight for the illusory wealth, but the result is getting farther and farther away. Now it's good, it's not bad to disarm and return to the fields, and retire quietly."

Then news came from the west that there were Fan soldiers going south to knock on Yanmen Pass.

But Xia Bing did not retreat. After regrouping, they fought repeatedly and fought endlessly. Both sides won and lost each other.

Helplessly, King Jin refused to listen, and as a result, this year's war just confirmed Li Cunjin's judgment.Li Siyuan had already fought extremely well, and Li Cunjin himself defended desperately at the beginning, which made the Xia people furious, and Weizhou was still indestructible.

At the beginning, when tens of thousands of soldiers from the Xia people, such as the Flying Dragon Army, Zhenbing, Zhoubing, Fubing, and Fanbing, came to attack, Weizhou retreated across the board, abandoning the surrounding fortresses and county towns, and persisted.

"It's a good place to hear that Li Si'en was the governor of Huazhou. Li Cunxiao was the governor of Yaozhou and in charge of the Qing army, but Li Siben didn't know about it." Li Cunjin replied.

"Yingkou County is allowed to be established." Shao Shude wrote the verdict, and at the same time ordered: "Siwu is not too young, come back and get married, in Beiping. Pugu Chengen——"

"The servant obeys the order." Pu Gu Chengen replied.

Weizhou is located in the bitter cold frontier, far away from the heart of the Central Plains, so it is inconvenient to transmit news, but the battle is still very tragic.

"Li Sien is indeed the governor of Huazhou, and he has served for more than half a year." Li Xiu introduced: "The Qingyi army has been dismissed. Four thousand soldiers have received rewards and went to Anton Mansion to serve as soldiers. Li Cunxiao went to the Pinglu Army , served as Duyou Yi envoy, and still leads the governor of Yaozhou. The [-] soldiers of Pinglu Army were all surrendered by the brothers of the Gao family. Li Siben is currently serving as the commander of the Yingzhou Army."

After a few people chatting, they came to a house.

No, technically not a prisoner.

Li Xiu poured him another bowl of wine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, please don't give up on yourself. Do you know what are Cunxiao, Siben, and Sien's official positions?"

Seeing that the sage had no other orders, Pugu Chengen stepped back lightly.

Since Youzhou was defeated, Li Cunzhang died in battle, and the whole territory fell.Generals like Li Cunjin who fled back from Youzhou had no good fruit to eat. For example, he was assigned to the most dangerous Weizhou as the governor, commanding thousands of soldiers that had been severely weakened by years of fighting to resist the Xia people. attack.

As of the beginning of December in the fourth year of Jianji, counting the soon-to-be-established Yingkou County, there are more than 27700 registered households and more than 12 people in the seven counties of Andong Prefecture. The results are remarkable.

Regardless of him, everyone has their own blessings.If Li Siyuan wanted to die, he should die.

This is a small house, the former owner should have been convicted, and the end is not very good, as can be seen from the dry blood stains looming in the corner.

"Well, speaking of it, the saint is worried that his close relatives and nephews have not made meritorious deeds, cannot be knighted, and their lives are difficult, so he gave him a chance. As long as he makes meritorious service on the battlefield, the saint can justifiably reward beautiful girls, wealth, and canonize titles." Li Xiu sighed: "We outsiders don't have such good things. In fact, we are quite envious of General Li."

A year of recuperation, while the rear is desperately transferring materials and emigrating, will not rest until the end of October. Overall, the foundation has been greatly consolidated.

Yu Lu saw her aunt rubbing her ink beside her, and she was thinking secretly when she heard the words.

Shi Lu has never solved the big trouble in Anton's mansion. On the contrary, he was disgraced and lost his troops.

The eldest prince Shao Siwu ruled Andong for four years and made remarkable achievements.The sage issued an imperial decree, saying that it was recalled, so it was recalled.Comparing the nobles of the Khitan tribes, if you want to take their Ulus, it is not an easy matter.

Why did Abaoji give in to Xiadi this time?To put it bluntly, it is still a flaw in the Khitan tribal alliance system.

Seeing that Yu Lu sighed softly and caressed her pregnant belly, Khitan was really finished.
