Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 493 A New Pattern of Destiny
Chang'an, the city that has been haunted by so many returnees.

Today, it finally opened its arms to all the people west of Guanzhong.

The Liang army entering the city was guided by the Guiyi Army Jiedu envoy Jingjie and the Yamen flag, followed by the Liangwang banner and Zhangzi Dazhu made by Zhang Zhao himself.

And these Yamen flags of the Guiyi Army are also very particular.

Among them, the first set was made by Zhang Huaishen at the end of the previous year, and the latter set belonged to Cao Yijin's Yamen Banner of the Guiyi Army Jiedushi.

It is a bit black humorous that the reason for making the Yamen flag is that in the entire history of the Guiyi Army, only Zhang Yichao, Cao Yijin, and Cao Yuanzhong were conferred the title of the Guiyi Army Jiedushi by the Central Plains Dynasty, and were awarded Jiedujingjie and Yamen flag.

The rest are basically left behind by the Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army, and even the lower-level positions such as Shazhou Governor, Guazhou Defense Envoy, etc.

But in this day and age, no one would know how embarrassing the Guiyi Army was in history.

They only knew that under the leadership of Zhang Zhao, the Great Liang Kingdom formed with the Guiyi Army as the main team became stronger and stronger, and even showed signs of taking control of the Central Plains.

Seeing Zhang Zhao's father-in-law Cao Yuanzhong who had just arrived from Yanzhou in Chang'an City, he said something with a sigh.

"From now on, no one can call me a fan thief anymore."

Fan thief, this word has almost become the heart disease of Liang country.

This is the most obvious side effect of Zhang Zhao's forcibly counting the Gamo, Tuyuhun, and Dangxiang people in Lianglan, Heshan and other states as descendants of the Tang army in Longyou, Hexi, and treating them as Han people.

However, as Cao Yuanzhong said, now that the Liang army has entered Chang'an, no one can call them bandits anymore.

Yin Yaozi, who also just came back from Tongguan, nodded in agreement.

"Since ancient times, Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and there are almost no successful people.

The reason is that the mixed places of Hu and Han caused the temperament of Han people to be similar to Hu'er, which was not liked by people in Guanzhong and even the Central Plains, and they regarded it as a wild frontier.

This made it difficult for the guards sent by the imperial court to be recognized by the locals.

The generals who grew up locally were brutal and brutal, and they had no appeal.

Until the king of heaven, both civil and military, hard and soft, can win the hearts of the people of the world. "

While the two were talking, the vanguard of the army had already arrived at Mingdemen, the south gate of Chang'an.

The reason why we didn't enter from the East Gate, Tonghua Gate, is because the South Gate is the starting point of Zhuque Street.

Although Chang'an City has not restored its former prosperity at this time, there are already many residents living on both sides of Zhuque Street in the old days due to the convenience of access.

Zhang Zhao asked the army to enter from this gate, pass through the entire Zhuque Street, and then reach the family temple of the 21 Tang Dynasty emperors outside the Zhuque Gate of the imperial city.

It is to let all the residents of Chang'an feel the might of Liang's army.

Before Zhang Zhao entered the city, rumors continued to spread to Chang'an City. There were two main ones.

One is that Yelu Deguang, the leader of Khitan, proclaimed himself emperor in the Central Plains, and assigned his Khitan generals as Jiedu envoys to various places to guard them.

But the Khitan army had no military pay, and they couldn't help looting. After they arrived in the town, they raided the grass and valleys wantonly, and not one out of ten people in the Central Plains was killed.

Except for the exaggeration of the one out of ten here, I did not wrong my Brother Guang in the rest, that's what he did.

It's just that Brother Guang's good brother Zhang Tianwang made public the atrocities he hadn't started to do in advance.

The second rumor is that some elders and merchants who went to ask for orders said that Zhang Tianwang's appearance is very similar to that of Emperor Taizong Wen in the family temple.

Of course, someone soon refuted it, saying that it is wrong, Zhang Tianwang's appearance is similar to that of Qingyuan Miaodao Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.

In fact, this is all true, because no one knows that the statue of Tang Taizong Li Shimin in the family temple and the statue of Erlang Zhenjun enshrined in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples have been constantly adjusted.

At the beginning, it was about three or four points similar to Zhang Zhao, and then after another wave of portraits, it could reach about five points of similarity, and finally until now, it has basically reached seven points of similarity.

With seven points of similarity, with the characteristics of Chinese painting, there is almost no difference between them.

Ordinary people would never have imagined that Zhang Zhao could do such a thing, they would only think that everything was God's will.

What big Chu Xing Chen Shengwang, killing the white snake, etc., are too low-end.

I, Zhang Tianwang, even dared to change Li Shimin's appearance, and he dared to be a god of Buddhism and Taoism.

This meticulous logic coupled with shameless energy is worthy of being a master pretender who has been baptized by the crooked dragon king, the return of the god of war, and the baptism of the god-level son-in-law.

Outside the gate of Mingde, Jinchang soldiers lined up on both sides. They didn't wear armor, they were all dressed in black, and they didn't hold long swords in their hands. They only had horizontal knives and other weapons at their waists.

The Jinchang Army originally had 3000 people, among which there were almost [-] elite dental soldiers. It was the largest festival town in Guanzhong.

However, after the Jin-Liao War began, the Jinchang Army mobilized more than [-] people and was taken to Henan by An Shenqi.

In addition, after An Yanwei took office, due to the shortage of money and food, some of them were eliminated, and the entire Jinchang Army now has only more than [-] people.

Among the more than 500 people, they will be stationed in Xianyang, Qianxian, Wugong, Lantian and other places. Almost all of the [-] people who stayed in Chang'an were present.

This was inevitable. After all, the Jinchang Army was the only established military force in Chang'an City. If they didn't all come out, Zhang Zhao would not dare to enter the city.

Of course, Zhang Zhao was also extremely satisfied to see Jin Changjun and An Shoujie being so knowledgeable.

They are very knowledgeable!There are always rewards for those who are witty, so Zhang Zhao gestured for An Shoujie to come forward.

"Please stay and select three hundred warriors, and enter the city with my Great Liang iron cavalry!"

When An Shoujie heard this, he was overjoyed, and Zhang Zhao called him Liuhou, so after entering the city, there must be an official position no less than that of Liuhou waiting for him.

Choose 300 people to enter the city together, which means that Zhang Tianwang has regarded the Jinchang Army as his own.

The loess paved the road, and incense was used to guide it. The residents of Chang'an City surrounded the Zhuque Street on both sides with a sea of ​​people.

They held dustpans full of food or clay pots full of slurry in their hands, and when the army entered Mingde Gate, they burst into cheers.

Let's eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king's teacher!An Shoujie, Li Shouling and the others could still make arrangements for this point, and they even arranged for respected elders to cry and worship at the door.

Zhang Zhao was wearing an ocher yellow robe, riding a snow-white fold-eared horse in the middle of the team.

In front of him was the guiding silver knife officer in gold armor and holding a silver knife, and beside him were important civil and military officials from the Liang Kingdom. Except for uncle Song Shantong and Pan Quan who stayed behind, almost everyone came.

Behind Zhang Zhao, the infantry phalanx appeared first, the infantry wearing red, white, and blue cloth face armor, led by Regret Shandu.

As one of the very few Zhang Zhao's personal guards who are still maintaining the Mo Dao warfare method, Regret Shan is holding a Mo Dao, with a barbarian hanging from his waist, and a long bow on his back is extremely conspicuous.

Behind Regret Mountain Capital, there are elite infantry troops selected from various towns, and they are also wearing cloth-faced iron armor.

Now in Liangguo, except for a small part of the army, those who wear cloth and iron armor are the most elite part.

It is estimated that in another five or eight years, the iron armor will be limited to a small range of equipment.

After the infantry, came the cavalry, and the first ones to appear were the [-] armored cavalry from Liangguo.

These armored cavalry are all wearing armor, and the vests of the war horses are mainly armored.

This is because after continuous testing in actual combat, Zhang Zhao found that it is not necessary to reduce the weight of armored cavalry.

Because for armored cavalry, the weight of the armor is a burden, but at the same time it is also very helpful for charging.

More importantly, armored cavalry in the Liang army often appeared as a decisive force.

Generally, they will only go up at the critical moment when they finally defeat the enemy. Anyway, they can't rush a few times, so they don't lose weight at all.

The traditional armored cavalry close to the infantry phalanx, forcefully crushing the infantry with equipment, and crushing the infantry has been completely abandoned.

Originally, this kind of armored cavalry warfare during the Southern and Northern Dynasties has been relatively backward at this moment.

As for the function of armored cavalry as the main force of cavalry warfare, and even being able to dismount as a heavy armored soldier, it has now been replaced by half-armored cavalry called Xiao cavalry.

Immediately after the armored cavalry, these brave cavalrymen appeared in front of everyone.

They wear red, white, and blue cloth-faced armor, wear double-layer helmets with a cushioned overhead design, and hold extended spears. Generally, sabers, iron whips, and pecking hammers are hung on the side of the horses, which are useful for close combat. Weapons such as pecking hammers .

Behind the Xiao cavalry was the main cavalry force of the Liang army, numbering tens of thousands. Zhang Zhao named them hussars.

Most of the hussars wear composite leather armor, and when they need to wear armor to attack a tough situation, they will also choose outer ring armor or chain mail.

But their main function is to detect, cover, and cover the army when marching.

In wartime, it is used as a mobile force, fighting with enemy cavalry, or attacking infantry phalanxes with few bows and crossbows, and chasing after the enemy retreats.

The strength of a large number of hussars' equipment has been reduced, but they are lighter and use simpler horn bows.

When fighting, first use the horn bow and crossbow to break the enemy's momentum, then use the cavalry bow to confuse the enemy and divide the enemy army, and then use the long saber to slash close to increase casualties.

The method and style of combat, to a certain extent, is similar to Napoleon's French hussars in history.

As soon as these three groups of cavalry entered the field, they severely frightened the residents of Chang'an.

There are a total of [-] riders, almost all of them are tall horses, and the least one has a leather armor. According to the current saying, this is [-] armored riders!
The horseshoe stepped on the ground and clicked!There was a clicking sound, and none of the more than [-] cavalrymen made any extra noise, and even the neighing of horses was quite rare.

Like a silent torrent of steel, they rolled forward from Suzaku Avenue.

There were [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. Zhang Zhao's specially dispatched [-] troops entered the city and left a very deep impression on the residents of Chang'an.

Not to mention the military discipline shown by the Liang army these days, just look at the armor rate, which is basically the highest that the residents of Chang'an have ever seen.

Although there are no statistics, the amount of leather armor to iron armor held by the Liang army should be comparable to that of Jin and Liao.

In terms of quality, the emergence of cross-age equipment such as cloth face armor, pear flower guns, and horseshoes has made the equipment level of the two armies already higher than that of Jin and Liao.

However, compared to the impact that Liang Guo's army had on the residents of Chang'an, the appearance of Zhang Zhao had a greater impact on them.

Because many people discovered that the rumors turned out to be true.

The appearance of this Heavenly King is not similar to either Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Dynasty or Qingyuan Miaodao Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, but the three of them are highly similar.

Everyone started to murmur in their hearts, and many people also remembered the legend about Zhang Tianwang attaining enlightenment on Lingjiu Mountain, which was heard from Hexi.

Is this all true, isn't it the king descended from the sky?
