Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1299 Wansheng Yellow Head
Beiping was already preparing plans for the next year in advance, but Jinyang had been procrastinating for a long time before Li Cunxu reluctantly set out on the road.

He didn't go alone, his uncle Li Kerou, as the elder of the family, accompanied him.Accompanying him was even a 3000-member Huangjia Army led by Shi Junli, carrying a large amount of property—this was also one of Li Cunxu's dissatisfaction, because it made it look like he was getting married.

The Huangjia Army in front of the hall is also Li Cunxu's old army.

King Jin once valued his son very much, provided him with a lot of resources, and presided over the Zelu defense line.

When Xing Mingci was defeated and Zelu became the front line, all ministries suffered heavy losses.The Fifth Academy Army, Dispersed Army, Khitan Straight, Silver Spear Xiaoyi Army, Tingqian Huangjia Army, Guard Golden Spear Straight, etc. were either destroyed or suffered heavy losses.With the support of King Jin, Li Cunxu was able to reorganize these troops, absorbed a large number of recruits from the Fifth Battalion Army, and strictly enforced military discipline, turning them into troops with good combat effectiveness and obeying his orders.

After the reorganization is completed, there are three groups of Huangjia Army in front of the hall, the Silver Spear Xiaoyi Army, and the guard Golden Spear Straight, each with tens of thousands of people.

Subsequently, these three troops fought repeatedly in Xing Mingci, Xiangwei and Xia Jun Tianxiong, Tiande, Jinglue, Wuwei and other armies. A relatively powerful field force.

The first commander of the Yinqiang Xiaoyi Army was An Yuanxin, who was later transferred to Shilingguan Township. Before leaving, he took away more than 5000 people, and the remaining [-] people were led by Liu Yancong.

There are still more than [-] guards with golden guns, and the commander is Shi Jingrong.

In front of the hall, Shi Junli, the commander of the Huangjia Army, was recommended by Li Kerou and was also Li Cunxu's confidant.There are also more than [-] people in this department. After Shi Junli took away [-] people, Zhang Wanjin took over the rest.

Li Congke didn't even get to be a governor, so he was rich and rich.He understood very well that what Pei Guan said was not all the income, he had already become the governor, how about the salary alone?Are you kidding me?People in the Tang Dynasty did not shy away from talking about business affairs, and the aristocratic families frequently wrote business poems, so that business affairs have always been an important genre of Tang poetry.

"Where is the general now?" Pei Guan asked.

"An Fuqian, governor of Yuanzhou..."

Li Congke and Li Congzhang were even more envious, their eyes were about to spit fire.

It is actually the junior officers and the big soldiers who really guarantee the income from droughts and floods.They are close to the party and stick together, marry each other, and recruit soldiers can only be recruited from their children.In fact, if there are no males in this generation, they will also recommend people from in-laws and families to take care of each other.

Li Congke and Li Congzhang looked at Li Cunxu together.

This ten-thousand-step ride was improvised.Li Siyuan combined several crippled troops, such as the Shenyong, Shenwei, and Maqian Silver Spear Army, and gathered [-] infantry and more than [-] cavalry—the horses of the cavalry were also detained.

Since then, many feudal towns have begun to set up "yellow-headed troops".Cui Qian, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu in Jiannan, even sent people to Chenxu to recruit soldiers and established the "Xichuan Yellow Head Army".This army even existed until the Huangchao Rebellion, led by Li Ting to join the Fengxiang camp and fight against the Chao army.

Pei Guan smiled, and said: "It's good to teach the general to know that Li Si'en, the governor of Huazhou, has an annual salary of 840 yuan, and there are also surpluses from the public kitchen, state interest money, and more than [-] yuan for manual lessons."

"Congratulations to the two generals." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Pei Guan smiled and stepped forward to salute.

As a vassal town, the government will go up one level, and although there is wealth, it may not be able to pass it on forever.When there are too many monks and too few porridge, the internal competition is very fierce.

But they are at the bottom after all, and they suffered a lot of casualties in battle, so it's hard to say how comfortable they are.

"Inspector An Jinquan of Fuzhou..."

The "Yellow Head Army" was a formidable armed force in the era of feudal separatism. It came from Chen Xuzhen and was named after the sergeants wrapped their heads with yellow scarves.

At the age of 21, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses alone, and they have been a minority since ancient times. This is indeed something to be proud of.Although some people were sour in private, saying that his own mother Wei's methods were superb and served Li Siyuan well, which made him get this position.But Li Congke was very disdainful about this, so he has the ability to say it face to face?Gesture twice?
"I don't know if the general can lead the prefecture?" Pei Guan continued to ask.

Of course, the family of generals also wants to gain benefits in this group, but this requires competition, and not every generation of the family may have talents.If you don't pay attention, you won't fall.The vassals and towns are divided, and when there are wars from time to time, it is really difficult for people with corpses to stay on the stage for a long time.

"Li Siben, Commander of the Yingzhou State Army..."

The trumpet of Hedong is really too much...

In this way, I walked slowly all the way until the first ten days of October, when all the grass was dry, and finally arrived in Daizhou.

The Xia Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are actually similar.

If you are embarrassed to betray King Jin, it is fine to take refuge in the enemy.But—King Xia is not an enemy, he is a relative!

Shenyong and Shenwei are relatively normal names. Now that the three armies have merged, the king of Jin personally bestowed the military title "Wansheng Huangtou".

Li Keyong also admired the name of "Yellow Head", so Li Siyuan formed the "Wansheng Yellow Head Army" and went to Beiping Mansion to attack Abaoji——Shao ​​Shude's plan to cut sausages succeeded.

"Yellow head" has almost become a totem of the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

"The two generals don't need to be envious." Pei Guan laughed, and said again: "The sage is generous and benevolent. As long as he makes meritorious service, he will never hesitate to be rewarded with a title."

In the era of Cai thieves in Huaixi, the Zhongwu Huangtou Army was the first line to resist them. The fierce battle moved everyone who heard about it, which also created the Huangtou Army's strong combat effectiveness and great reputation.

The faces of the two were slightly pale, and they asked again: "When will the Khitan be attacked?"

Li Cunxu was baffled, what was he looking at me for?
Pei Guan stroked his beard, and said appropriately: "Your Majesty has something to say, Li Yazi can honor Princess Lantian. Princess Lantian has two thousand households, and at the age of eighteen, she has the appearance of sinking fish and wild geese, and shameful flowers in the closed moon. The birth mother Wei Cai , In the land of Hetao, cattle and sheep flocked. There are mansions in Luoyang and Chang'an. Alas, I don’t know how many honorable children in the court sighed, thinking that they missed a good opportunity.”

The land of seven prefectures in Hedong is so poor that it can't really talk about extraordinary wealth.

It doesn't matter if you don't have talent under your command.Just like Li Cunxiao, who has been fighting abroad all year round, the governor of Yaozhou is also a nominal name. So far, no merchants have cooperated with him, and he doesn't care.Wouldn't it be nice to eat those two thousand households to eat the filial piety of officials of all sizes in the state?
As long as the Xia Dynasty survives, he can keep eating.Even if the next generation's seal is reduced, there will still be 1600 households. If you have more children, train them well, and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, food towns will be added.

Li Congke and Li Congzhang both sighed.

Li Cunxu was speechless.He wanted to take out the erhu and play a piece of music.

Also, Yang Xingmi "took Li Shenfu as the captain of Huangtou on the left and right, and his troops were very strong."

"Not surrendered, but better than surrendering." Li Congke sighed and said helplessly.

Li Congke choked, and his face was a little ugly.

In a military and political group, Jiedu envoys want to pass on the family business. For example, the Chengde Wang family has done a better job. It has five generations, which is enviable.But do not do much more.

What is the purpose of being a warrior?The highest pursuit is to pass on wealth to all descendants.

"Li Concubine is just joking." Pei Guanqi said: "The princesses of this dynasty are not like those in the previous Tang Dynasty. The saints are very strict, and the empress is also strictly disciplined. Everyone is filial to their parents, manages the family well, and abides by women's morals. The concubine is still After Princess Lantian, the sage may also bestow all kinds of property to keep the wealth and wealth."

The governor doesn't need to be greedy, there are too many legal means to make money, and business is one way.

"Are you going to lead the army to the east and descend to summer?" Li Cunxu asked after hearing the shock.

Although he didn't want to start a conversation, Li Congke asked, "Where does the joy come from?"

As the saying goes, "The soldiers of the loyal military guards are short-served and brown, and they take the lead in yellow. The southern name is 'Yellow Head Army', and the world's sharp soldiers are also."

The two generals Li Congke and Li Congzhang led tens of thousands of people to assemble and prepare to go east.

Chen Xuwufu is good at fighting, and his bravery is unmatched. He quelled the uprising in the south, killed the rebels in Xuzhou, fought against Tubo and Uyghur in the northwest, and attacked rebels in Hebei, etc. They can be seen everywhere.

However, it seems that it didn't completely succeed.Li Ke didn't let them go out of Jingxing, but went directly to Weizhou, which showed his little stubbornness.

"Li Cunxiao, the governor of Yaozhou, has an annual income of nearly a thousand, and is a general of the Pinglu Army, with an annual salary of 1200 yuan, military rewards, public treasury bonuses, and food seals for two thousand households from Jinxiang County. This is not easy to calculate. Anyway, far more than the income of the governor and general.

"I can't talk nonsense about this." Pei Guan frowned and thought hard, "However, when the three armies will march together, tens of thousands of people will fight to be the first, and everyone will be brave. .”

"Wan Sheng Yellow Head Army Envoy." Li Congke puffed up his chest immediately upon hearing this.

After leaving Hedong, where he was born and raised, and the army that entrusted his ambition, Li Cunxu was extremely lost, and it can even be said that all thoughts were lost.

At this time, something even more unexpected happened to Li Cunxu.

Pei Guan said in one breath that many people were descended from the east of the river.Li Congke, Li Congzhang, and Li Cunxu were all silenced when the piles of income were laid out.

The Huangjia army in front of the hall, the silver spear army in front of the horse, the silver spear straight in front of the horse, the golden gun straight in front of the guard, the army in front of the tent, the left shooting army, the silver Huqi army, etc., are full of surprising and unique "beauty".

At this time, I have to talk about Li Keyong's aesthetic issues.

"Puzhou Inspector Li Sibi..."

Li Cunxu was a little helpless and annoyed, and said, "It's none of my business!"

Before he left, he took nothing but dozens of musical instruments, which would be the only pleasure for the rest of his life—at least he thought so.

As soon as these words came out, Li Congzhang didn't say anything, but Li Congke said: "I would like to ask Pei Shaoqing to give you some good words. Wansheng Huangtoujun is willing to be the vanguard."

"Well, you thief!" Li Cunxu scolded with glaring eyes.

Li Congke was a little ashamed, stepped back a few steps, and said nothing.

"Haha! Don't hurt your temper." Pei Guan laughed again, and persuaded: "It's getting late, it's time to go, the saint is still waiting."
