"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 83
Liu Yidao, a general of the Qinghe Army, lost more than two thousand light cavalry and fled back to the south bank in embarrassment, while Yang Hao, a thousand-man general of the Dynasty Army who won the first battle, gained fame.
The fourth prince took advantage of the victory to reorganize the Black Cavalry Army, abolished a group of redundant veterans, and placed some hawkish young generals in various important positions.
When Zhang Yihai, the deputy commander loyal to the prince, reacted, the fourth prince had already taken control of the most elite 40,000 black cavalry light cavalry that accompanied the army.
The 40,000 Black Cavalry Army is a brave and capable light cavalry. Now that the Fourth Prince controls such a powerful force, although Zhang Yihai, the deputy commander, is dissatisfied, he dare not act rashly.
The fourth prince took control of the Black Cavalry Army, and he had a lot of confidence in speaking and doing things. Then he used the excuse of rectifying military discipline to intervene in the personnel affairs of other battalions on a large scale.
At this critical moment, Zhang Yihai, the vice-commander who acted as a constraint, fell ill, so that the generals of the other battalions loyal to the prince suddenly became leaderless.
The fourth prince has experienced at the border, and his wrist is also fierce and decisive, so he naturally understands the principle of killing you while you are sick.
A group of generals loyal to the prince were sent out to carry out dangerous tasks such as investigating the enemy's situation and sneak attacking the Qinghe army.
Facing the blatant conspiracy of the fourth prince, although these generals scolded their mothers in their hearts, they dared not not go, because if they didn't go, the hat of disobeying the military order would be buckled, and they would have to lose their skin if they didn't die.
However, the Qinghe army was not easy to deal with. These generals who were loyal to the crown prince's line all failed every time they attacked, and several generals above the deputy battalion general were killed in just a few days.
"Fourth Highness, General Zhang fell off his horse and injured himself. Please return to the capital to recuperate."
"Deputy General Luo has suffered from dysentery and needs to go back to the capital for treatment."
Facing the iron fist of the fourth prince, Zhang Yihai, the deputy commander, was seriously ill and unable to support them. Those generals who stole high positions were also afraid, and escaped with various reasons.
"allow."
Seeing that these generals were frightened by his tactics and wanting to leave the army, the fourth prince couldn't wait more and granted their request directly.
So, a group of generals, fearing that the fourth prince would repent, left the barracks at the front line as if fleeing, and returned to the capital for "rest".
"The battalions will start to reorganize from now on."
The main generals of each battalion have left, and the big soldiers have naturally become a mess. The fourth prince seized the opportunity to reorganize the troops and reorganize the battalions in order to achieve the purpose of control.
Many ambitious young generals pledged their allegiance to the Fourth Prince, and were then appointed by the Fourth Prince as the chief generals of each battalion.
When the Fourth Prince was vigorously rectifying the interior and began to gradually control the actual military power, the Qinghe Army on the front line of Qingyang Mansion was also ordered by Deputy Commander Chen Ru to continuously send small groups of troops to harass and infiltrate.
After the Black Cavalry has been cleaned up and rectified, some young generals are in power.
These young generals are all real hawks, with a daring spirit. Under their command, the originally lifeless Black Cavalry troops suddenly became full of energy.
The Qinghe Army sent a large number of small troops to infiltrate and harass, while the Black Cavalry Army used their own methods to deal with them.
On both sides of the Qingshui River, small groups of scouts and rangers from both sides fought continuously every day, trying to get close to each other's camp and spy on the situation.
Like two strong men wrestling, although the main forces of both sides have not moved, the small-scale fights are tragic and cruel.
These small-scale fights ranged from more than a hundred people to dozens of people, but the more the number of fights, the more casualties would increase.
In just a few days, more than a thousand reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Qinghe Army lost more than a thousand people, and the Black Cavalry Army of the Dynasty Army also suffered heavy losses.
Although the armies of both sides have not moved, the scouts and rangers of both sides have already killed red eyes, and blood spilled on both sides of Qingshui River.
Qingyang Mansion and the battle on the front line of Qingshui River have fallen into a stalemate. Both sides are very cautious, and they are not taking the initiative to launch a large-scale attack, but are constantly probing, trying to find each other's weaknesses.
Although the atmosphere on the front line was tense, there was no collapse. The rest of the Qinghe Army attacked everywhere, bringing the vast area south of the Qingshui River into their control area, and they were all in the limelight for a while.
When the Qinghe uprising army confronted the dynasty's conquest army in the province, the situation in other provinces of the Far East dynasty was not optimistic.
Except for some wealthy provinces in the south, large-scale uprisings and wars broke out in most provinces due to famine.
The rebel armies from all walks of life attacked the city, and the officials of the dynasty fled carrying a large amount of gold and silver treasures. The local troops in various provinces also suffered a complete defeat, and the situation continued to deteriorate.
? In the face of heavy exorbitant taxes and famine, the court of the Far Eastern Dynasty also took some countermeasures, that is, to suppress and appease.
On the one hand, the imperial court dispatched troops to suppress the rebels in various places, and on the other hand, it urgently dispatched food to the famine provinces to relieve the victims.
However, the roots of the Far Eastern Dynasty were already rotten. Before the large amount of food allocated by the court could reach the disaster-stricken areas, it was pocketed by the officials along the way, and all of them were divided up.
Facing the increasingly deteriorating situation, the imperial court was devastated, while officials from all over the country made a lot of money.
Some upright officials reported to the court of the Far East Dynasty to impeach those officials who embezzled food.
The imperial court also attached great importance to it, and sent several surveillance envoys to try to clarify the situation.
However, the relationship between officials and officials in various places is intricate, and many of them are from noble families. These supervisors either cooperate with them, or they can only turn a blind eye.
The inspectors were busy for a long time, and finally reported to the court that there were no officials embezzling disaster relief food, and the impeachment of those upright officials was a false accusation.
?It was a troubled time, and there were still officials who falsely accused them of disturbing the audience, and the high-ranking court officials had limited information. Since the supervisors all said the same thing, they had no doubts.
"All false accusers will be dismissed and investigated!"
Soon, the imperial court issued orders to supervisors in various places, asking them to thoroughly investigate those false accusations.
The inspectors who were bought with a lot of money took action one after another, and began to arrest those more upright officials.
In a short period of time, these honest officials were imprisoned for various crimes such as corruption, collaborating with the enemy, and treason, and were immediately questioned and executed.
Seeing the beheading of the upright officials, the corrupt officials who made a lot of money clapped their hands and shouted for the supervisor to be wise.
Although the inspectors were stationed in various provinces where the situation was corrupt to supervise the war, the court finally found that the situation did not improve at all, but continued to deteriorate.
?Because of famine, severe exorbitant taxes, and the brutal suppression of the army, many villagers who could not survive threw themselves into the arms of the rebel army, making the rebel army even stronger.
The traffic and communication in many provinces were interrupted, most of the areas fell into the hands of the rebel army, and the control of the Far Eastern Dynasty became weaker and weaker.
Many surrounding countries saw the deterioration of the situation in the Far Eastern Dynasty, and they also wanted to take a share of the opportunity. Some people took the opportunity to provoke in the border areas, and some secretly supported the rebel army and transported weapons and food.
