Now that I have decided to go all out, I started to collect and inspect troops.

"The Imperial Guards in the capital camp cannot leave lightly, so I thought it would be enough to bring only 5,000 people in a symbolic way."

Even though Tong Guan is the king of the county, he doesn't dare to poke into the hornet's nest in the Beijing camp.

After the disarmament call during the Shenzong years, the Imperial Army in the Beijing camp was said to still have hundreds of thousands, but in fact at least about 70% of it was taken up.

The rest Most of the tens of thousands of people did not train, did not fight, or did not serve.

Most of them worked in the prince's mansion, or did some small business on their own.

When the Jin people attacked Kaifeng for the first time, firstly, they did not know what was true, and secondly, they had Li Gang He Zhongshi said that there were still many volunteers in the city who had been recruited from inside and outside the city.

The Jin people extorted money and then retreated.

The second time, they knew the truth. They gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, but most of them were still unable to fight. The top of the city was so sparse..

Even if Kaifeng was the capital that had been run from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty for many years, the city walls were deep and steep, and there were no soldiers to defend them. What could be done?

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty also saw the truth about the Forbidden Army, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Later, Guo Jing, the magic stick, came forward and said what Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six Liujia Divine Soldiers were able to defeat the enemy.

More than six thousand people were recruited to open the city to fight. They were all wiped out by a single charge from the Jin.

Corpses were everywhere.

Then the Jurchens occupied the outer city. At that time The prime minister was replaced by He Li. He mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to garrison the inner city. Kaifeng was a majestic city and had been in business for nearly 200 years during the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. Not only was the outer city high and precipitous, but the inner city was not inferior to ordinary city walls.

The Jurchens were eager The enemy couldn't be captured, so they repeated their old tricks, restarted negotiations, and ordered Qinzong to come in person.

As a result, Song Qinzong really went. Once he entered the Jin camp, of course he couldn't get out. The Jin people took advantage of the situation and rushed into the inner city, and the overall situation ended. Collapse.

If the Beijing Forbidden Army really has hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention as elite as the Western Army, it is a serious army of more than 100,000 people. Tens of thousands of people from the Jin Kingdom can attack the city. Unless they all transform into Ultraman, there is no way to even think about it..

There are 20,000 to 30,000 people, and most of them are housekeepers, or small businessmen and hawkers.

What kind of war is this army fighting?

Even the people of the Volunteer Club and Bow and Arrow Club on Hebei Road can defeat them.

The so-called eighty Tens of thousands of forbidden troops, three hundred instructors, and five hundred commanders, the Fourth Army, and the inner court squadron, sound majestic, and look majestic. Tens of millions of military expenditures are spent every year, and the only one that can really fight is the Western Army. It can only be said to be the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this regard, the Shence Army of the Tang Dynasty is similar to the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army of the Ming

Dynasty. The Shence Army was the only central imperial army that could fight in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Xianzong and Xuanzong several times In major battles, the Shence Army took the lead as the main force, and local vassals and towns cooperated in the battle.

Although the Shence Army was controlled by the eunuchs, causing Tai'a to overturn it, it must be said that the central government was able to maintain a certain authority in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the Shence Army was indispensable. No.

But after Xizong, the Shence Army was corrupted and useless. When Huang Chao arrived at Tongguan, hundreds of thousands of Shence Army took off their military robes and fled in the city, or hugged each other and cried. The Shence Army fled midway through the battle. In the end, the Tongguan garrison only numbered more than 10,000 people, and Huang Chao's army easily broke through the barrier.

As for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops on the books were useless and had no fighting power at all. They were managed by nobles and military generals. The three major battalions completely collapsed.

On the other hand, the Si Yong Battalion of the Royal Horse Guards managed by the eunuchs still had a certain fighting strength, but they were gradually sent out of the capital.

Other than the capital camps, they were more than capable of causing trouble and harming the people. Actual combat was useless.

The governors abroad had to petition the emperor not to send any more troops from the capital.

The same was true for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. By the middle to late period, the Eight Banners garrisoned in the capital during the early Kangxi years were no longer useful.

The war depends on the green camp and the local garrison of the Eight Banners.

During the Qianlong period, the pacification of the Jinchuan and Jinchuan, Nepal, and Platform relied on Sauron soldiers and Green Camp soldiers.

After Qian and Jia, the Green Camp was finished. During the Daoguang period, the Taiping Army rose. Neither the Eight Banners nor the Green Camp could be used for fighting. They could only be trained in Daxing (bcfg) regiments. The Hunan Army and the Huai Army, armed by Han officials and gentry, became the anchor of the Qing Dynasty.

Some of the last Sauron soldiers and Mongolian elites wandered around Bali Bridge, and some were wiped out by the Nian army and were completely destroyed.

With the garrison in the capital, the only ones that can always fight are the Northern and Southern armies of the Han Dynasty.

This is also related to the rotation system of the Han army.

The number of standing troops stationed in the capital was not large. They were all soldiers from various counties and counties who took turns to garrison in the capital.

The door hinges are not beetrooted, and the running water is not rotten.

The Beijing Camp Forbidden Army cannot be used at all.

Tong Guan was also afraid that the emperor in front of him would send out the imperial army to fight on a whim.

Thousands of people were ordered to fight, and the relevant personnel of the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army could easily gather them together.

It’s not necessary for them to actually go to the battlefield, it’s just a show.

Regarding this, Tong Guan also had to agree in advance.

Otherwise, the soldiers in the Beijing camp would make a big fuss.

If we go out and enumerate 30,000 to 50,000 people, chaos will break out in the capital camp before we can punish the thieves.

"Can.

Huizong nodded and said:"The main force in attacking the thieves should be the Western Army first."

Tong Guan smiled and said,"The same is true for Chen Yi.""

The main forces of the Western Army are the general manager of Kuangyan Road, Liu Yanqing, the commander-in-chief of Taining Army, Liu Xi, military commander of Xihe Road, Liu Qi, military commander of Jingyuan Road, Sun Wo, military commander of Qinfeng Road, and Huanqing Military Commander. He was led by generals such as the general Zhao Zhe.

In addition, there were deputy commanders Wu Jie and Wu Lin brothers, as well as Yaozhou observer Liu Guangshi. This person also made meritorious service during the campaign against Fangla, but he was only promoted in rank and not in official rank.

The five-pronged army includes soldiers and horses on the Hedong Road and the Hebei Road.

The total strength is at least about 400,000.

Among them, the elite ones are the Damingfu garrison of about 30,000 people, the Western Army of 156,000, and nearly 200,000 people.

The main force of the Hedong Army is also elite. It can be counted as 30,000 people.

The remaining hundreds of thousands are the Forbidden Army or Xiang Army stationed in the local area.

"I will also bring Gao Qiu, Su Yuanjing and other Taiwei generals to the expedition. Tong Guan was well prepared. He took out a piece of paper from his boots and said,"Pudong inspected Guan Sheng and praised him for his bravery. I recommend him to be the commander of the horse and infantry troops and accompany him on the expedition." In addition, Chenzhou regiment training envoy Han Tao, infantry Yamen defense envoy Xuanzan, Yingzhou regiment training envoy Peng Qi, Lingzhou regiment training envoy Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, and Kaifeng city righteous soldier Hao Siwen are all outstanding in martial arts and have a reputation for being prestigious. All went out with the army."

On Shan Guan's list, some were recommended by Cai Jing, Hao Siwen or Xuan Zan. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Xuan Zan, this ugly county horse, is also known for his bravery and good fighting skills.

He recommended Guan Guan Sheng, Cai Jing admired him very much after being summoned. He was about to promote him and put him in a more important position. When the incident in Liangshan came, Cai Jing recommended Guan Sheng to Tong Guan. This matter was nothing to Tong Guan.

Guan Sheng brought some troops with him. Ma, together with Xuanzan, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, Hao Siwen and others, there are thousands of troops in the headquarters. Then add several thousand people to the capital camp, allocate thousands of soldiers to the outer towns, and 15,000 Thousands of people and three hundred commanders are given to Guan Sheng, the leading commander.

Cai Jing, the Grand Master and Prime Minister, can't say anything wrong.

If Guan Sheng performs well, there will be one more general available under Tong Guan's command in the future.

If If the performance is not good, he has been given a chance. It is no wonder that Tong Guan does not use this person.

These soldiers and horses are just miscellaneous.

Including the Hebei Forbidden Army of Daming Prefecture.

There is also the Hedong Forbidden Army.

Those who can really fight should be regarded as the main force and the Liangshan Army. Of course, the battle will be with the Western Army of about 150,000 people!

Even if this army confronts the Liao Kingdom head-on, Tong Guan will not be afraid! Not to mention the Liangshan bandits.

Before Fangla was conquered, wasn't Fangla also very powerful?

As soon as the army arrived, Fang La's so-called elites and so-called masters had no power to fight back.[]

Fang La's third brother, known as the"Three Kings", uses a Fangtian painted halberd. He was both civil and military and stationed in Suzhou City. In the original time and space, Song Jiang suffered a great loss, but when he encountered the Western Army, he was shot to death by random arrows.

Fang La's crown prince, Fang Tianding, guarded Ning Haijun in Hangzhou and was granted the title of King of Nan'an. Later, when the city of Hangzhou was destroyed, he was directly stabbed to death by Luan Shu. He looked like a bloody man at that time.

Lu Shinang was named the Privy Envoy of the East Hall by Fang La. He used a snake spear eight feet in length to guard the banks of the Runzhou River with his twelve commanders, collectively known as the"Twelve Gods of the South of the Yangtze River". He had 50,000 southern soldiers and more than 3,000 warships under his command. This man was highly skilled in martial arts, brave and strategic, and was beheaded by the young general Han Shizhong with a single sword.

Pang Wanchun was nicknamed"Xiao Yang Youji" because he was good at using bows and arrows. He was surrounded by soldiers led by the young general Liu Guangshi and used magic arm bows to shoot him to death.

There is also Si Xingfang, the general who protects the country under Fang La, the general who governs the country Li Tianrun, one of the four marshals, Deng Yuanjue, the national advisor of the La Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and one of the four marshals under the eldest prince Fang Tianding. His name is Baoguang Tathagata, and his name is Yuan. Sleep. Even a Zen staff weighing more than 50 kilograms of thick iron was killed in the revolt.

There is also Wang Yin, who is well versed in writing and strategy, and is a minister of the Southern Kingdom. He is accustomed to wielding a steel spear.

""General Nanli", Shi Bao, wielded a wind-cleaving knife and a meteor hammer. This man really had great abilities. He fought in and out of the sharp formations of the Western Army, and ten generals died under his hammer. There were more than a hundred soldiers left.

Later, when their strength was exhausted, they were chopped into pieces by the angry Western Army soldiers.

The bravest one was Fang Jie, Fang La's nephew. He held a Fangtian painted halberd, which was unworthy of all men. Yong, was called the most famous general in the Southern Kingdom by Fang La. This person was also together with Wang Yin, who died after breaking out of the siege.

These famous generals under Fang La, plus more than a hundred named generals, basically all died on the battlefield, and some A few of those who were captured were sacrificed to the capital together with Fang La and executed in public.

After Fang La was pacified, Tong Guan's confidence had greatly increased.

This contribution was not small, and it was enough to secure his position as king.

Privy Councilor, in the future, new The emperor definitely doesn't need him, so it doesn't matter.

This achievement...what else can be said?

No matter how good the ten permanent servants of the Han Dynasty are, they can only be granted the title of marquis. So far, in thousands of years, only three eunuchs have been granted the title of king..

One is Zong Ai of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the other is Li Fuguo of the Tang Dynasty.

Both of them are masters of power struggle and have no military exploits.

Li Fuguo is even famous for bad things, and several of the tragic defeats of the Tang army are inseparable from him.

And I, Tong Guan, But he had real military exploits!

In fact, if Tong Guan had not been defeated at Baihegou in the Liao expedition, his status would have been very stable.

The Song Dynasty needed people who could fight, whether they were civil servants, military generals or eunuchs.

Tong Guan's reputation was not small, and he could suppress A proud and powerful general who lived in the Western Army.

When Qinzong of the Song Dynasty first came to the throne, he also appointed Tong Guan to stay in Tokyo.

This was to attract him.

As a result, Tong Guan followed Huizong wholeheartedly and fled south with Huizong.

Qinzong lost his patience and was demoted first. Then he was exiled, and finally he sent an envoy to behead him on the way.

Military achievements were still very popular in the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan took a deep breath.

All preparations were completed.

He stepped forward and bowed, and Tong Guan said in a deep voice:"I would like to invite your Majesty the Emperor. Issue an edict, with the minister as commander, and lead the six divisions to attack the thieves!".
