"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 842
?The rebel army led by Yang Hao invaded Dongjiang Province, the Southern King Luo Mingyuan died, and the Qinghe Army divided into two groups to enter.
For a while, soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered in Dongjiang Province, like a calm lake with stones thrown into it, causing waves to rise immediately.
Under the leadership of deputy commander Liu Yidao, the Qinghe Army on the western front, with 60,000 soldiers in three banner regiments as the main force, marched into Dongjiang Province in mighty force.
Under the command of Deputy Commander Yuan Jie, the Qinghe Army on the Eastern Front advanced by land and water, and it was unstoppable.
Luo Jing, the son of the Southern King Luo Mingyuan, faced the complex situation that was rapidly changing, and his ability and prestige were slightly insufficient.
Especially Luo Jing, His Royal Highness, was wiped out in the previous battle with the Qinghe Army, and even he himself became a prisoner of war.
It was because Luo Mingyuan spent a lot of money to reach an agreement with the Qinghe Army that Luo Jing was able to return to Dongjiang Province safely.
Although Luo Jing returned to the Dongjiang Province, under the arrangement of the Southern King Luo Mingyuan, he regained control of the army, but because of the experience of annihilating the entire army, Luo Jing's personal prestige plummeted.
When Southern King Luo Mingyuan was still around, the meritorious veterans looked at Luo Mingyuan's face and gave Luo Jing some face.
However, the Southern King Luo Mingyuan died. Although the eldest son Luo Jing became the nominal commander of the Southern Army, a large group of meritorious veterans did not buy it much.
"The son is still too young after all. Now that the situation is rotten, he doesn't want to stabilize the overall situation, but he wants to charge himself to take revenge. It's extremely ridiculous."
A deputy general of the Southern Army stationed in Jiangpu Mansion received a military order from the eldest son Luo Jing, ordering him to lead the army to rendezvous within a week to avenge the murdered Southern King Luo Mingyuan.
After receiving the military order from the eldest son Luo Jing, the lieutenant couldn't help shaking his head, saying that the tiger father has no dogs, how did Luo Mingyuan choose such a successor.
"My lord, how should we reply to His Royal Highness?"
The battalion generals and generals stationed in Jiangpu Mansion also sat in the hall drinking tea, and all their eyes turned to the deputy general sitting at the top.
"His Royal Highness Nan Wang treated me well. Now that he was murdered by the traitor Xu Liang, we are also in grief. We don't need the military order of His Royal Highness, and it should be our duty to avenge His Royal Highness Nan Wang." The lieutenant said in a low voice. .
"The traitor Xu Liang can be punished by everyone¡ª"
"Yeah, we always do something."
Some people echoed with outrage, while others waited silently for the lieutenant general's next words.
"It's just that the rebel army is only a few hundred miles away from my Jiangpu Mansion. Once the army of Jiangpu Mansion is transferred, and the rebel army is approaching the city, I can't explain to the fathers and villagers of Jiangpu Mansion. Bearing the great trust of His Royal Highness Nanwang."
Sure enough, the deputy general quickly changed the subject, talked about the current situation, and expressed his attitude.
Thinking that the rebel army who burned, killed and looted was not far from Jiangpu Mansion, all the generals looked pale.
These generals also understood what the deputy general meant when they heard what he said, that is, to obey the order but not to be transferred.
"I am willing to follow the lead of the lieutenant general!"
? When Southern King Luo Mingyuan was still in power, although there were many factions within the Southern Army, in general, they still listened to Luo Mingyuan.
Now that Luo Mingyuan is dead, these generals who hold heavy troops below naturally don't want to be under the command of the eldest son Luo Jing anymore.
These generals in Jiangpu Mansion quickly expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the deputy general, because they did not want to go to Luo Jing's side either.
"However, if we don't send someone to avenge His Highness Nanwang, it won't make sense. Let's send a battalion of soldiers and horses to go."
Now the situation is unclear. Although the deputy general stationed in Jiangpu Mansion has plans to stand on his own, he still leaves a way out for himself.
He did not categorically reject the military order of the eldest son Luo Jing. Although the main force did not move, he still dispatched a battalion of old and weak soldiers and was ordered to join the eldest son Luo Jing.
The generals of the Southern Army stationed in the major camps and prefectures and counties have similar ideas to this lieutenant general.
They also all had the idea of ??preserving their strength. Some people vowed to send troops to avenge the Southern King Luo Mingyuan, but they deliberately delayed the time and were reluctant to leave under the pretext of insufficient military pay and food.
There are also some generals whose attitudes are quite direct, directly refusing to obey Luo Jing's transfer under the pretext that Luo Jing is not the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.
?Some people even began to communicate with the rebel Yang Hao secretly, hoping toGo out of the guarded land and ensure your position of power.
Although the southern army was defeated by the Qinghe army, it can be said that it lost troops and generals, but the Dongjiang province is densely populated and has plenty of money and food.
Under the leadership of the Southern King Luo Mingyuan, the Southern Army also went through a round of vigorous military expansion.
In the past, the imperial court allocated 400,000 troops to the southern army to guard the three southern provinces. As the imperial court's authority gradually lost, Luo Mingyuan didn't have so many scruples anymore.
They have undergone a new round of expansion. The southern army not only supplemented the previous battle damage, but even exceeded the establishment, with a strength of 650,000.
It can be said that it is quite difficult to raise an army of 650,000 with the strength of a single province in Dongjiang Province.
But what Luo Mingyuan thought at the time was that once the army formed a fighting force, the Yunshan province and the Jiangnan province would be enough to support so many troops when the time came.
However, man is not as good as heaven, so many troops have not gone to the battlefield to seek revenge from the Qinghe army, and he died by himself.
These hundreds of thousands of troops are in the hands of the meritorious generals, and Luo Jing can't command them, forming small separatist forces one by one.
Although these people still regarded themselves as the Southern Army, they formed their own small kingdom.
Some generals not only did not obey Luo Jing's order, but also expelled the officials appointed by the Southern King Luo Mingyuan in the territory, and began to appoint officials themselves.
Luo Jing, His Royal Highness, was not saddened by the death of his father, on the contrary, there was a hint of joy in his heart.
Because Luo Mingyuan was like a heavy mountain pressing on his head, which made him feel strong pressure all the time.
Although he is the son of the eldest son, this seat is not so easy to sit in, and there are still many brothers who are eyeing him.
Now that Luo Mingyuan is dead, he is the first heir in line, and he will soon become King Nan.
This time, he deliberately put on an appearance of righteous indignation, and called on all the southern army units to gather to avenge the Southern King Luo Mingyuan. In addition to showing filial piety, he also wanted to take the opportunity to show his prestige, integrate all the troops, and become the real Southern King.
But Luo Jing is too young after all, and those veteran generals who have made great achievements are naturally not good.
After Luo Jing's military order was sent out, some of them didn't respond, and although some responded, they mostly asked for money, food, military pay and excuses.
Luo Jing originally wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight hard, but the reality poured cold water on him.
"These white-eyed wolves, I will definitely kill them all in the future to vent my hatred!"
Seeing that the generals turned a deaf ear to his military orders, and some of them only dispatched some old, weak, sick and disabled, Luo Jing's face was suddenly covered with a haze.
Fortunately, he knows that if he can't bear it, he will make trouble and make big plans. If he takes action against these meritorious veterans now, maybe their southern army will be in civil turmoil before he can avenge his father.
Now that his father's bones are still cold, and the rebels and the Qinghe army are taking advantage of the fire to loot, what he urgently needs now is revenge and succession to the throne, rather than haggling with these disobedient people.
So Luo Jing decided to hold back the breath first, and after the traitor Xu Liang was dealt with and avenged his father, he would inherit the throne and become the Queen of the South, and then slowly deal with those people who were obedient and obedient. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
