"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1316
"Now the situation in Lingnan Province, Western Province, Beichuan, Nanchuan Province and other places is very serious. Many prefectures and counties have been occupied by the enemy. You should leave as soon as possible and lead the army to stabilize the situation in the western and southwestern regions."
After Chen Ziang appointed Li Changqing as the head of the security forces, he also introduced the current severe situation to him.
Just when they were carrying out large-scale disciplinary rectification of various departments and legions in the imperial capital, in several provinces in the west and southwest, the remnants of the previous dynasty made a comeback and captured more than a dozen of their prefectures and counties.
The southwestern and western regions are originally mountainous and densely forested, and the Qinghe Army's rule over the area is also quite weak.
Especially Lei Ming, after Zhou Ba united with the local uprising army to sweep the area, the army was reorganized into the sixth field army, and the seventh army was transferred away. The local Qinghe army was quite weak.
However, the strength of the enemy is very strong. Apart from a considerable number of bandits and rogues, there are also many armed families.
Especially the remnants of the Zhenxi Army of the former dynasty who guarded the western border at the beginning had strong combat effectiveness. After being incorporated by these aristocratic families, they counterattacked aggressively.
More than ten prefectures and counties were captured, and the news reached the imperial capital because of the long distance. In order to stabilize people and avoid panic, Chen Ziang blocked the news.
That's why just after the canonization ceremony was completed, he summoned the formation of the security army and appointed Li Changqing as the head of the security army.
"Your Majesty, then I'll go back and prepare."
After Li Changqing heard about the severe situation in the southwest region, his expression became serious.
You must know that Zhou Ba and Lei Ming were able to pull together two legions in several provinces in the southwest, so the folk customs there were strong, so the sixth and seventh legions also made outstanding achievements in the field.
If the situation in the western region cannot be calmed down as soon as possible, it will inevitably become a huge burden on the empire.
The empire fought on the grasslands through wars to promote peace, and the Hanhai and the Holy See temporarily died down, but it did not mean that they were convinced.
Now that the empire is in dire straits, there is an urgent need to resume production and restore people's livelihood.
If the internal war cannot end at this time, it will greatly affect the recovery and development of the empire.
Li Changqing, the newly appointed head of the Security Corps, quickly left and went back to pack up and prepare.
"You just came back from the battle, and you haven't had a good rest for a while, and you are going to the battlefield again."
After Li Changqing returned to his house, his wife, Lu Xue, helped him tidy up his change of clothes, and could not help complaining.
"What do you know, as soldiers, the battlefield is our destination." Li Changqing stroked Lu Xue's long black hair and said.
"what about me?"
"If something happens to you on the battlefield, what will I do?"
The more Lu Xue talked, the more wronged she became, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Look at you, don't cry."
Seeing his wife Lu Xue crying, Li Changqing also showed guilt and wiped away her tears.
"Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I don't want you to get hurt."
Lu Xue looked at her handsome husband and spoke her mind.
"But as a soldier, the situation in the southwestern region is unstable now. I have no reason to hide at home and enjoy it. Don't you think so?"
"Don't worry, as long as the situation in the southwest is stabilized, I will definitely come back to accompany you." Li Changqing comforted Lu Xue.
"There are so many generals in the imperial court, why did His Majesty send you there, why can't you send someone else?" Lu Xue complained.
"What do you know? You have long hair but short knowledge. His Majesty sent me there. That's because of his trust and respect for me."
"Then I will go with you too."
"No, the situation over there is not clear, it will be safer for you to stay in the imperial capital." Li Changqing rejected Lu Xue's request.
"But"
"You should stay at home and take good care of your health. When I come back, give me a big fat boy. Someone must inherit the title of my second-rank Duke."
Li Changqing said as he hugged Lu Xue by the waist, and strode towards the bedroom.
"Oh, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
Lu Xue was hugged by the waist, she looked towards the door,Seeing the two maids sniggering, they immediately blushed.
"Hahaha, guess what I do."
After Li Changqing carried Lu Xue into the bedroom, he raised his foot and kicked the door shut.
"Don't, there are people outside."
"They dare not come in."
When Li Changqing was enjoying the joy of fish at home, Chen Ziang summoned two important people.
One of them was Guo Wei (Guo Yijian), who had saved Chen Ziang from the Qinghe Army.
In this canonization ceremony, Guo Wei, as the representative of the aristocratic family who took refuge here, is the second-rank Duke after the six first-rank Dukes.
Of course, in addition to Guo Wei's great contributions in following the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang also wanted to use Guo Wei as a model for those in the previous dynasty.
Now Guo Wei serves as the deputy head of the First Cavalry Corps. Although the southwest region is mountainous, there are great restrictions on cavalry.
However, it is also necessary to have a cavalry unit with strong mobility for mobile reinforcements to protect roads everywhere.
Moreover, the Security Corps will maintain the stability and order of the entire empire in the future. The provinces span thousands of miles, and they also need motorized cavalry units.
Therefore, Chen Zi'ang decided to transfer Guo Wei to be the deputy commander of the security corps, responsible for commanding the cavalry unit of the security corps.
At the same time, Guo Wei, as the representative of the former family, can also attract and stabilize the local family and let them fall into the embrace of the empire.
In addition to summoning Guo Wei and appointing him as the deputy commander of the Security Corps, Chen Ziang also summoned another one-armed general.
This one-armed general is Li Tiechui, the first-rank military marquis newly appointed by the empire, and he was born as a heavy prisoner in the previous dynasty.
After joining the Qinghe Army, he fought fiercely and made great achievements in the establishment of the empire, and lost an arm in the early battle.
Now Li Tiechui has a heavy infantry unit under his command, which is also a heavy armored unit carefully built by the Qinghe Army.
? Chen Ziang transferred Li Tiechui to be the deputy commander of the Security Corps, and used this brave veteran to assist Li Changqing, the new commander.
At the same time, Chen Zi'ang also decided to mobilize a thousand hoplites to join the Security Corps, and accompanied Li Changqing to the southwest region to stabilize the situation.
The empire has just been established, especially when the canonization has just been completed, and everyone is full of energy, so the work efficiency is also extremely fast.
In just one night, the military department in charge of Li Qiye completed the preparations for food, equipment, etc. to go out.
After all, the Qinghe army has gone through fierce and bloody battles. Now that the army is stationed outside the city, many of them are still in a state of war and can be deployed at any time.
Early the next morning, His Majesty the Emperor Chen Ziang went to the barracks in person, announced the appointment of Li Changqing, Guo Wei and Li Tiechui on the spot, and mobilized the first batch of five banner regiments to be placed under the control of the Security Corps.
The five banner regiments are the 28th Banner Regiment, the 29th Banner Regiment, the 32nd Banner Regiment, the 33rd Banner Regiment, and the Fifth Jinwei Banner Regiment.
Among these field flag regiments, the 28th and 29th belong to the Sixth Army, the 32nd and 33rd belong to the Seventh Army, and the Fifth Guards Banner Regiment belongs to the Guards.
And these two legions were reorganized by Lei Ming and Zhou Ba from the rebels in Nanchuan, Beichuan, Western provinces and other provinces.
It can be said that most of the soldiers in the first batch of troops were from the southwest region, and they were sent back to their hometowns to fight against the enemy, also for the purpose of fighting locally and familiarizing themselves with the environment.
