Chapter 1096 Reorganization and surrender(1/2)
Luoyang is spent in a joyful atmosphere throughout July.
The new saint ascended the throne and gave a large reward to the old brothers.
Li Tang Bente was named Duke of Lu, which is the most dazzling one.
Gao Renhou was granted the title of Duke of Fengtian County, and there were only 3,000 households in the ceremonial capital, but he assisted the King of Qin to enter Shannan West Road, made many contributions, and added 200 households. If Li Maozhen was defeated, he would have taken down Shannan West Road and Jiannan East and West Towns, and the Duke of the Kingdom could not be eliminated.
The sage's son-in-law, Liang Hangong, was promoted to the title of Duke of Liyang County, and was granted two thousand households. At present, he was the orthodox army to harass the Daibei and Khitan, and accumulated more contributions, and the Duke of the County was in sight.
When the country was first established, its military achievements were the first priority.
Military merits are the best way to increase the title. The contributions accumulated by civil servants over the years are not as good as those who win a great victory. Therefore, the warriors who have not received the title or are dissatisfied with their titles are ready to go, and they are eager to get the opportunity to go into battle.
In short, the desire to fight is very strong.
Shao Shude has done several things this month that are not big or small but have to do.
On the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhe Fangai was granted the title of queen, and the concubines were granted one by one.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the female crown He was named "Empress Tang Shuxian".
On the ninth day of the seventh month, the eldest daughter Shao Guoer was conferred as Princess Huile, the second daughter Shao Mu was conferred as Princess Heyang, the third daughter Shao Li was conferred as Princess Meiyuan, and the fourth daughter Shao Ze was conferred as Princess Lantian...
On July 11, the Longhu, Pengri, Pengsheng and other troops arrived in Luoyang. Shao Shude personally went to Dongduyuan and began to reorganize the eighth imperial guards.
The Longxiang Army had 7,000 people, the Dragon and Tiger Army had 5,900 people, 5,800 people, and 6,000 people in the Saint Army, totaling 24,700 people.
Shao Shude ordered the formation of the left and right Dragon Xiang Army with these four armies as the main force.
In addition, from the Chishui Army and Yi Army, he drew 10,000 veterans from the left wing of the army and transferred them to the left and right Longxiang Army.
The silver saddle was straight, and hundreds of people were drawn from the palace guards into the left and right Longxiang Army.
The remaining insufficient part will be provided by Yunzhou Academy and Shanzhou Academy with complete training to supplement the recruits.
After the reorganization was completed, the entire army was 30,000, with Ge Congzhou as the military envoy, Wang Qianyu, former deputy envoy of the Chishui Army as the deputy envoy, Zhu Zhen as the Du Yuhou, He Delun as the Du Youyi envoy, Yan Bao as the left wing military envoy, and Yelikecheng as the commander of the Yunzhou Prefecture Army as the right wing military envoy.
Dai Siyuan and Li Si'an were transferred to the Tiande Army and were divided into left and right wing soldiers and horse envoys. The chief officials of the department were re-adjusted, and Cai Songyang, He Gui, Xie Yanzhang and Yang Sheng held four main positions in turn.
Li Renhan was transferred to the Tielin Army and served as the Left-Celebration Army.
Hua Wenqi was appointed as the deputy envoy of Gongchen Army, Liu Zhijun was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Chishui Army, and Kang Huaiying was appointed as the envoy of the Chishui Army Youyi.
After this reorganization, another large piece of Zhu Quanzhong's military heritage disappeared. After counting, it was probably only more than 10,000 people left in Ding Hui's position.
"The Book of Documents says that the emperor is 'dressed every five years'." Shao Shude sat in Dongduyuan, looking at the Longxiang Army soldiers who were training, and said, "After ascending the throne, you have not yet made a tour. You can practice well and follow me to the east after the Double Ninth Festival."
"I obey the order." Ge Congzhou and others responded.
Among the more than ten imperial guards, only he and Kang Yanxiao climbed to a high position among the more than ten imperial guards, which was very difficult.
No matter how talented you have or ambitions you have, you have no choice but to stand in the wrong team. If you have a lot of talent and knowledge, you can only be buried among the weeds.
What a pity? It's a pity, but not a pity.
In the chaotic times, the most undesirable is talent.
Opportunities are the hardest to get.
Ge Congzhou got the opportunity, and he was ready to repay the saint.
"Your Majesty has just arrived at Dabao and is going to go out for a tour around the world. Will it be a little hasty?" Xie Tong, a man from Zaoyang County, asked with some concern.
"There is no trouble." Shao Shude said.
The emperors of the Five Dynasties were all military leaders. When they returned to the army, they felt very good as going home. If the army was not around, they would feel that they were in powerless.
Who is full and rebelling when he leads the army to the east? Besides, the officials and people in Luoyang are very energetic now, and no one will rebel before Shao Shude takes the rebellion.
Xie Tong stopped talking.
The Eastern Tour is not just a patrol, but the meaning of supervising the battle is very strong.
*******
The news of Emperor Tang’s abdication was conveyed to all directions at an astonishing speed.
Jinyang got the news first.
At that time, Li Keyong and his family were celebrating the festival and were having a happy time.
After hearing this, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Liu looked at him worriedly.
The eldest son Li Luoluo and the second son Li Cunxu also put down the wine bottle and looked at each other.
"Husband..." Just when Liu thought her husband was about to be furious, Li Keyong suddenly smiled.
"Isn't this a long time ago?" Li Keyong looked at his family and asked.
The son-in-law Wang Ke was stared at by his father-in-law and could only echo: "My uncle said that. Shao—Shude was rebellious and his intention to be unofficial has long been known to everyone. I heard that the Emperor of Tang was the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty—"
"Sage." Li Keyong corrected the way.
"Yes." Wang Ke immediately corrected it and continued: "The saint of the Li family——"
"A saint is a saint, what is the saint of the Li family?" Li Keyong glared at him.
"Yes." Wang Ke was almost crying, and at the same time he felt evil. Why did he feel that Shao Shude ascended the throne and became emperor more orthodox? Perhaps because the saint of the Li family had long been disrespectful.
"When the saint was lucky to Luoyang, they met the people on the way and shouted to Shao Sheng." Wang Ke said, "At that time, the rebellion of Shao thieves had already been revealed."
Li Keyong held the wine bottle and said nothing for a long time.
Wang Ke suddenly became a little worried. Don’t be angry and raise his troops south to attack Luoyang. Hedong can’t stand the tossing. If you lose tens of thousands of troops, how can you resist the Xia soldiers?
Liu gently grabbed Li Keyong's hand.
Li Keyong sighed and said, "Shao Piece finally has a little conscience. The minister's ritual has already suffered a great loss, but if he kills the king again, it will be unreasonable. The saint surrendered the title of Prince Le'an, alas, it's quite decent."
He hasn't called the word "Shao Pie" for a while. He either calls him the name directly or calls his brother Yi when he is in a good mood. This time he calls him "Shao Pie" again, which means he still has a grudge in his heart.
Wang Ke also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it didn't seem like he was going to beat him.
His wife Li gave him a blank look. Useless things are far inferior to their uncle's heroism.
"Hedong still obeys the Tang Dynasty and does not recognize the fake dynasty of Shao Zhe." Li Keyong drank the wine in his glass and said in his breath: "What is the 'Jianji First Year'? I don't recognize it! Hedong responds to official letters and still uses the 'Tianyou Second Year' as the prevailing."
Li Luoluo and Li Cunxu looked at each other again.
This is my father's last stubbornness.
I was dissatisfied with my uncle's establishment of a new dynasty, but I didn't want to fight, so I could only deceive myself.
My father is old!
*******
Yang Xingmi has been so angry with her son these two days.
You say he is stupid, so it won’t be. Many times you can see clearly at a glance and you are very smart.
If you say he is cowardly, it is not impossible. When talking about martial arts, you will lead by example and rush forward.
You say he is cruel, let alone. He just has a little bit of a gentleman's temper, but he will not let the people show off.
Yang Xingmi didn't know how to describe her son.
Arrogance and naughtiness are real. Although martial arts are acceptable, they like poetry and prose more and communicate more with literati. At the same time, they like to enjoy, show off, and be extravagant, which makes Yang Xingmi, who is used to being frugal, very dissatisfied.
But what if he is dissatisfied? He is the eldest son, sixteen years old this year, his second son is only five years old, his third son, and his fourth son is even younger. In this world, do you dare to hand over the family business to children? No!
"The son of Shao Zhe is leading the army, but my son is so naughty." Yang Xingmi sighed: "How can I leave the family business to you in the future?"
Yang Wo disagreed and said, "Shao's thief acted against the enemy and established a false dynasty, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the knowledgeable people in the world. He is afraid that he can't take care of himself now, so why should he be so worried?"
"Can the righteousness of the country be as good as a knife?" Yang Xingmi looked at his son and asked.
Yang Wo was speechless and then said: "Why should you be so worried? Shao Zhe established a pseudo-dynasty and had to be in chaos for a while. He was not young anymore. There were still powerful vassals such as Hedong, Wei Bo, Chengde, Cangjing, and Yi Ding in the north to resist. Even the Khitans had bad relations with them and attacked each other repeatedly. He was afraid that he would not have time to go south to Jianghuai until his death."
"You have this ambition?" Yang Xingmi said angrily, "It's a corner of peace, and a dead end. If you hold the idea of eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying wealth in Jianghuai, then Huainan cannot be saved, and Jiangnan cannot be saved. Even if Shao Zhe has no time to go south, what can you resist when he reaches his son's generation?"
Yang Wo's face was a little uneasy and muttered, "Why should you be so angry? Last year, the Huaibei battle, our army tried its best, but we could not defeat Shao Zhe..."
"Stop!" Yang Xingmi raised his hand and wanted to slap his son. When things came to an end, his heart became soft. He had only been in his thirties and had always spoiled him, and he really couldn't do anything.
"Get out!" he roared angrily.
Yang Wo was afraid and ran away.
Yang Xingmi sat down dejectedly.
Shao Shude established the Tang Dynasty and established a pseudo-dynasty, which was said to be a good opportunity to gather the princes of the world to besiege him.
But Yang Xingmi lost the spirit of this, and the whole country of Huainan had no spirit of this. Last year's Huainan War made many people afraid. Since this year, Donghe City, Linhuai and Lianshui have been lost one after another, and there is no stronghold on the north bank of the Huainan River. The Huainan Group he built with painstaking efforts can no longer pose a threat to Shao Xia.
Forget it! Forget it! It’s better to clean up the interior and pave the way for the incompetent son.
As a royal family, Li Keyong didn't respond. What's the trouble I was?
*******
Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi, two major military leaders, one south and one north, did not respond to Shao Xia’s verbal curse, except for verbal curses.
To be continued...
