Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to completely strangle Li Yuan in the cradle, Huang Mingyuan set up too many obstacles for Li Tang. The greatest threat to Li Tang was not the Tongguan line, the Puban line, or the Hanzhong line, because most of these armies were defending or  The stalemate with the Tang army had not yet posed a threat to the hinterland of Guanzhong. The real knife stuck in Li Tang's belly was the Fengzhou army.

    As the core direct descendant of Huang Mingyuan, he naturally shoulders the most arduous task.

    It seems that since Huang Mingyuan left Fengzhou, the Fengzhou Army fell into silence, which is a bit boring. But in fact, the entire Fengzhou is still developing rapidly according to Huang Mingyuan's will.

    Today, in addition to providing Huang Mingyuan with thousands of good officials and tens of thousands of craftsmen, Fengzhou also has the largest ironworks, the largest coal mine, the largest silver mine, the largest inland salt factory, and the largest iron factory in the north.  An important ordnance production base, the largest horse farm, the largest cotton breeding base, the largest rose apple and cold melon production base, the largest rose apple wine production base, the largest wool products base, the largest textile baseetc.  wait wait wait.

    The entire Fengzhou is the most vibrant place in the world.

    The population of Fengzhou County has grown from a few thousand households to 220,000 households today.

    Here, Huang Mingyuan has popularized literacy education for more than ten years. Almost everyone from the elderly to children can know a few words.

    Here, Huang Mingyuan popularized the reserve system and promoted martial arts. In Fengzhou, more than 100,000 strong men were drawn out to form an army.

    Here, Huang Mingyuan implements farm, racecourse and other systems. Not only does he not need the central government to provide food, he also has a surplus every year.

    This is Huang Mingyuan¡¯s true home court and his true foundation.

    After Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, Fengzhou could no longer be alone.  Although Fengzhou is the most important northern barrier in Guanzhong, because there is the Anbei Protectorate to the north of Yinshan Mountain, Fengzhou does not need so many troops at this time.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered the troops from Fengzhou to build Yinshan Guards.

    The previous six guards of Longxiang, Huwei, Yingyang, Baotao, Konghe and Wuxiang all used animals as flags and were named after animals.  But the Yinshan Guards are different. In recognition of their great military exploits, they were named after Yinshan Mountain, and their flags were embroidered with Yinshan Mountain and the Great Wall.

    Yinshan Guard has Huang Mingzheng as the general manager, and Jiuyuan County Wei Wang Huchen and Hu Yalang Jiang Zuochun as deputy general managers.

    The original Jiuyuan County and Yulin County were merged into Jiuyuan County, with Que Chen as the prefect.  Yu Chong served as the transshipment envoy to the north of Guan and also led the prefect of Yan'an County.

    Although Yan'an County is not yet in Huang Mingyuan's hands at this time.

    The army in Fengzhou includes soldiers from Jiuyuan and Yulin counties, plus the troops stationed in Beining and Dali, about 23,000 people.

    Huang Mingzheng and Yu Chong recruited ten thousand brave men to join the army.  Twenty thousand of them were the Yinshan Guards, responsible for marching south, while thirteen thousand were the Jiuyuan garrison, commanded by Que Chen, responsible for guarding the Jiuyuan.

    The land of Jiuyuan, in terms of area alone, is actually larger than the entire Guanzhong.

    On September 3, Huang Mingzheng led 20,000 Yinshan guards southward.

    Huang Mingyuan's power in Guanbei, in addition to the two direct counties of Jiuyuan and Yulin, also controlled part of the power of Yanchuan County, Shuofang County, and Diaoyin County.

    But the three counties are not stable.

    Yanchuan County, where Chen Yi serves as the prefect, is better.  Yanchuan County only governs one county, Wuyuan (now Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province). It has a sparse population, and because there are salt ponds in the area, it has been combined with Jiuyuan County to become Fengzhou's horse breeding land and salt production base.  .

    "Shuofang County and Diaoyin County are relatively chaotic.

    Especially Diaoyin County, although Shangzhou previously belonged to the Fengzhou General Administration, there were many powerful families in the county. After Huang Mingyuan left, they became somewhat uncontrollable.

    Later, Suizhou was no longer affiliated with Fengzhou General Administration, and Fengzhou's influence on it was even weaker.

    ??Fengzhou¡¯s old general Wang Nandi was a lieutenant of Diaoyin County, but the Prime Minister of Diaoyin County was at odds with him. He united with the local aristocratic families to suppress Wang Nandi.  In times of peace, although Wang Nandi controlled the military power in the county, he could not fight against Wang Cai.

    Wang Nandi was unable to fight alone in Diaoyin County, so he led most of the army in the county and went north to station troops in Yincheng County (now the old city of Dongshan, Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province) in the name of suppressing bandits.

    Yincheng County produces silver, and there are two major coal mines, Shenmu and Fugu, to the north. Wang Nandi stationed troops in Yincheng County, which happened to be a garrison for the silver mines and coal mines.

    Wang Cai was very proud of this and naturally dominated the county.

    "However, Wang Nandi had troops in his hands and had the support of Duke Wei, so he did not dare to offend him severely. At least Wang Nandi's troops did not dare to be short of food, grass, ordnance.

    This year, in autumn, there is a severe drought in the north and the grain harvest is poor.

    The number of hungry people in Diaoyin County increased sharply, and people died of hunger everywhere.  But at this time, Wang Cai refused to release food and gave orders.The officers and soldiers suppressed those who resisted.  As a result, the people in the county were filled with resentment and wanted to change.

    Guo Zihe, a figure in the county, was a native of Pucheng, Tongzhou (today's Weinan, Shaanxi Province). He was originally a general of Zuoyi Guards and was exiled to Diaoyin County for his crime.  He is a brave man and his family is rich, so he is very famous for helping people solve problems and spreading wealth.

    At this time, chaos arose in the army, and Guo Zihe became interested.

    He asked himself that he was a hero, but now that the world was in chaos, how could he be willing to stay trapped in Diaoyin for the rest of his life?  So Guo Zihe summoned his younger brothers Guo Zizheng, Guo Ziduan, Guo Zisheng and others, gathered eighteen people who were willing to die, and secretly attacked the county government.

    Originally, it was not enough to attack the county government with eighteen people, but Guo Zihe made a sneak attack at night. The county government was unprepared, and Guo Zihe entered the backyard and captured Wang Cai alive.

    Guo Zihe took Wang Cai to the people, listed his crimes for not subsidizing the people, and beheaded him.  The people in the county were shocked, and even the big families headed by the Liu family expressed their support for him, so Guo Zihe opened a warehouse to help the poor and started his rebellious career.

    After Guo Zihe occupied the county and went to the county, he called himself King Yongle, established the reign title Chouping, called his father Taigong, appointed his younger brother Guo Zizheng as Shangshuling, Guo Ziduan and Guo Zizheng were promoted to left and right servants, recruited thousands of troops, and returned  Has two thousand cavalry.

    At this time, Wang Nandi, who was in Yincheng, heard about the changes in Shangxian County, so he led his troops southward, and his troops reached the north of Kaijiang County (now northeast of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province).  A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The Sui army was brave and experienced in battles. Guo Zihe was unable to defeat him and retreated to Shangxian County.

    Wang Nandi then stationed troops in Kaijiang County to confront Guo Zihe.

    Huang Mingzheng went south from Beining, traveling 800 miles day and night. On the 11th, he arrived at Kaijiang County and met up with Wang Nandi.

    So Huang Ming recruited troops to surround Shangxian County.

    Facing the large number of Sui troops who appeared overnight, Guo Zihe also became somewhat sober at this time.  Although he has great ambitions, he still dares to claim the throne after occupying half of the county. He is really looking for death.  So Guo Zihe quickly removed his title of king and sent his younger brother Guo Zisheng out of the city to surrender to Huang Mingzheng.

    Guo Zihe is often in the north, so he doesn't know the combat effectiveness of Fengzhou Army.  Facing the famous Fengzhou Army in northern Guan, Guo Zihe was also in awe.

    The Fengzhou army then occupied Diaoyin County without any bloodshed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
