Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 781 I am the Son of Heaven
I am the son of heaven, and I am ordered by the heavens to hold the heaven and earth, hold the sword of the emperor, lead millions of soldiers, and smash the disobedient people in the world!
Luo Cheng looked at the words on the paper in front of him, his mouth couldn't help but raised his mouth, and tapped his fingers on the paper, "Unexpectedly, that person is quite ambitious, but why is he so cowardly in front of me? Could it be that he only dared to hide in the Liuhe Palace and show the power of the emperor to those Goguryeo slaves and Silla maidservants?"

This piece of paper, and the sentence on it, are the oaths made by the most virtuous emperor Yang Wei to the sky in the Liuhe Palace. He really thought that the people around him were all Goguryeo slaves and Silla servants, so he couldn't understand What about his words.But they don't know that those people actually have shadow guards.

It is good to have ambition, but you must also have enough strength to match.

Otherwise, he will end up like Yang Guang. Yang Guang is actually very talented and has even greater ambitions, but Yang Guang is too self-willed and thinks that he is better than others in everything, so the employer is only willing to use people who can listen to himself People, the result of this is that people around him are full of flatterers, which makes the emperor live in a false illusion.

Unfortunately, not everyone in the world will cooperate with the emperor.

Self-willed and eager for quick success, the emperor finally played the world to pieces, and played himself to death, as miserable as a wild dog.

But Yang Hao doesn't even have any ability as his father.

Luo Cheng at this time, how could he be able to settle down?

After going through the spring offensive, Luo Cheng's current strength is truly superior to all the heroes in the world.

Although it is said that the Goguryeo people rebelled again, so what, the current Goguryeo people are not the Goguryeo people who were a few years ago. It is ten times stronger than the past.

"I was planning to move the emperor and all the officials to Fanyang mansion, and designate Fanyang as Beijing, but now it seems that our emperor is very dissatisfied."

Wei Zheng chuckled.

"I'm an old man, I watched the sky recently and night, and found..."

"Don't tell me that, I don't like to hear it."

Luo Cheng is a person who has never believed in fate, let alone any celestial figures, ghosts and gods.He prefers to believe in himself, the so-called my fate is up to me, otherwise, how can such a small blacksmith like him get to where he is today.

The crown will not fall from the sky, you can only grab it yourself.

"Your Highness, I think now is the time."

"proclaim oneself emperor!"

Wei Zheng persuaded Luo Cheng to proclaim himself emperor, the reason was that Yang Guang was dead, and now that the whole world was divided, there were not many people who still supported the orthodoxy of the Sui family and there were not many places left.

It's not like before, when the orthodoxy of the court is still there, the emperor is still there, proclaiming the emperor too early may attract siege from all sides, but now, people's hearts are almost settled.

No one will think about the Sui Dynasty that has completely collapsed.

"The soldiers all hope that you will become emperor soon." Wei Zheng said.

"The soldiers want to be the heroes of the founding of the country sooner?" Luo Cheng smiled.

"Desperately, who is not planning this, otherwise, you said that everyone tied their heads to their waistbands and followed you to rebel, what are they planning?"

Luo Cheng nodded.

For some people, maybe the rebellion is just to change the chaos in this world and restore peace to the world.But for the vast majority of officers and officials, these are too empty, they pay more attention to things that can be seen and touched, such as rewards, such as official titles, such as field money and food.

At the beginning of the Zhongwu Army's uprising, Yang Hao was a good banner, able to stabilize the morale of the army and appease the hearts of the people, but now that all the general trends are clear, then this banner is useless, continue to hold it, and even Backfired.

"I heard that Emperor Zhide was very sad because several of his sons were killed in Jiangdu. He didn't think about eating and drinking every day, and became ill from worrying about work. If you continue like this, he might die suddenly." Wei Zheng said.

"Old Taoist Wei, why do I feel that you are a traitorous minister now?" Luo Cheng turned his head to look at Wei Zheng, and said with a smile.

"I'm planning this for you. In fact, I can completely ignore it. It won't dirty my hands, but someone has to do this kind of thing for you, right? Originally, Wang Junkuo was very suitable, but now this guy is Fan Yang. Jiedushi, the new shadow guard commander has not been appointed yet."

Seeing the old man's thoughts, Luo Cheng could only pat him on the arm and said, "The two of us, are we in a normal relationship? Just kidding with you, in fact, I quite like you the way you are now. What I hate the most is Like Feng Deyi, who only thinks about what he wants, although this kind of person is talented, he is also restricted to death, even if I use him, I will not really feel at ease, but you are different."

Wei Zheng made an exaggerated expression, "I'm very touched by what you said."

"Your Highness, why don't we announce the move of the capital to Fanyang, designate Fanyang as Beijing, and then send a boat to take His Majesty to Fanyang. There are many storms on the sea this summer. If you are not careful, the boat will capsize in a storm at sea, and it will be accidental to drown."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"Actually, we have fully grasped the situation now. Even if we really don't need his banner, we don't need to kill him." Luo Cheng thought for a while, and felt that there are so many people persuading him every day, and even Wei Zheng came to persuade him several times, explaining It is indeed time to proclaim the emperor.

Immediately, he said, "We are going to move the capital to Beijing and let Yang Hao take the Zen throne. After I ascend the throne, I will make him a Marquis and place him in Annan, North Korea, or an island like Liuqiu."

"Your Highness is really kind." Wei Zheng said.

Wei Zheng leaves and Li Jing enters.

Luo Cheng raised his head and looked at Li Jing, who is currently serving as the envoy of Luo Cheng's army.

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to arrange for Li Jing to be the envoy of Shandong Jiedu, but later Li Jing declined.Luo Cheng learned later that it turned out that Luo Cunxiao refused to accept and openly troubled Li Jing, so Li Jing also deeply felt that he had no foundation in Shandong, so he voluntarily declined the appointment.

In the end, Shandong Jiedu envoy Luo Cheng was awarded to Luo Cunxiao, and Du Fuwei was appointed as Huainan Jiedu envoy. One of them was named Wei Guogong and the other Wu Guogong.

"Your Highness, this is done according to His Highness's order."

Li Jing handed over a seal.

Luo Cheng opened it, and it showed the status of the reorganization of each army, from the awarding of designations to the appointment of generals.

After the last offensive, Luo Cheng made a round of major adjustments to the armies, especially the five towns of Andong, Shandong, Huainan, Fanyang, and Hengshan that Luo Cheng personally controlled, and dispatched the Zhongwu Army to complete the reorganization with them.

Now Li Jing is making further adjustments according to Luo Cheng's request.

"According to His Highness's instructions, An Dongdao set up two armies, the left and right Shences, the left Shences stationed in western and northern Liaoning, and the right Shences stationed in the southern Liaoning Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula."

"And His Highness's pro-army is the loyal military pro-army, stationed in Liaodong City."

"Shandong has two armies, the left and right Shenwei armies. One army is stationed in Qi County, and the other army is stationed in Pengcheng."

"There are two armies in Huainan, the left and right armies of martial arts, one in Jiangdu and the other in Lujiang."

"Fan Yang set up an army to teach bravery, and Hengshan set up an army to teach magic."

There are eight armies at the beginning of the word "Shen", plus an army of Zhongwu's pro-army.

In addition, there are Songmo, Raole, Zhiyan, and Sumo, four affiliated counties, each of which has an army named Guiyi Army, Guide Army, Huaihua Army, and Huairen Army.

However, the Goguryeo people rebelled, so Yuanshi was not awarded the military title.

The left and right shence armies in Liaodong, the left shence army envoy is Luo Shixin, and the right shence army envoy is Song Laosheng.

Pro-military envoy Li Jing.

The envoys of the two armies in Shandong were Luo Cunxiao and Shan Xiongxin.The envoys of the two armies in Huainan were Du Fuwei and Cheng Yaojin.

In addition to Wang Junkuo of Fan Yang and Feng Xiaoci of Hengshan, the list of the nine military envoys came out.

Originally, the envoys of the two armies in Huainan were Du Fuwei and Fugong Er, but this time Fugong Er was adjusted to be the prefect of Lujiang.

"Change the Shadow Guard to the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion, and directly control the guards, patrolling and arresting them."

This is almost Jinyiwei, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and so on.

In fact, the original shadow guard responsibilities of gathering troops, instigating enemy generals, beheading and other tasks have actually been stripped out, and Luo Cheng made the Staff Division of the Ministry of War also responsible for military intelligence.

"Let Li Junxian be the captain of the pro-army captain's mansion!"

Li Jing wrote this down, and then continued, "According to His Highness's instructions, I have also drawn up the numbering of the three armies of Xuanwu, Dingwu, and Zhenhai. People, their troops and horses are the same as ours, and they are all under the jurisdiction of one army with six chambers and one army department."

"In addition, according to His Highness's instructions, I have also drawn up the list of the navy. The navy will build four fleets, stationed in Lushun, Dongnae, Pyongyang, and Jiangdu. Each fleet will have 6000 people, of which 120 ships and ships will be sent to each fleet. Article, two thousand sailors, four thousand sailors and marines."

However, Li Jing was still a little worried about Luo Cheng's plan.

"The expansion of soldiers and horses is too fast, and the army expands too much. I am afraid that although the quantity will increase for a while, the quality will not improve."

Originally, the Zhongwu Army had only four armies, with a total of 10 soldiers.This time, the Zhongwu Army suddenly possessed eight armies with the initials of the gods, plus a bodyguard army, and then compiled four naval fleets. In fact, it was equivalent to expanding the Fourth Army into the Tenth Army.

Even if Liaodong has engaged in national military training in the past few years, it has nearly tripled this time, which is quite scary.

"Especially officers, there is a lot of shortage."

"Didn't I always practice double deputies in the military? Now I can pull out the deputies."

"However, the quality of the new generals in Shandong, Huainan, and Hebei is far inferior to that of the Zhongwu Army. Moreover, it is very troublesome to arrange so many soldiers and horses at once, and it also involves matters such as granting land and setting up a military mansion. "

"It's not troublesome to do anything. Now that we have such a large territory at once, the original 10 people are far from enough. Expansion of the army is necessary. With such a large place as Shandong, Huainan, Liaodong, and northern Hebei, the total increase It’s only about [-] people, but it’s actually not that many.”

Luo Cheng didn't expect to be like Li Mi, Xiao Xian and others, with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, but tens of thousands of horses are certainly not enough.

"General Siye, General Liu Wuzhou, and General Luo Yi, as well as many subordinate counties also have a lot of soldiers and horses. The total number is no less than 20."

Luo Cheng just smiled at the 20 soldiers, those were not his direct troops.The more soldiers there are, the more Luo Cheng has to expand his army, otherwise what will he do to restrain them in the future.
