Chapter 717: The whole army goes north


Chapter 714: The whole army goes north Compared with the ups and downs of Chang'an, Jiangnan is still calm.

The sun still rises as usual, and the endless stream of caravans still crosses the border from Jiangbei and Shannan.

Kong Sheng's wedding was postponed to two months later, the new land reform policy was presided over by Yuan Chao, Yancao was presided over by Zhang Xiao, and the affairs of the civilian school were presided over by Yang Tong.

Everything is on the right track, without all kinds of resistance, Kong Sheng's grand ambition is gradually advancing in Jiangnan and gradually falling into practice.

The smoothest is still a civilian school.

The headquarters of Jiangning University Hall is located in Jiangning City, but every prefecture in Jiangnan Province has set up a branch of Jiangnan University, and the funds for the opening of the school, except for part borne by the local government, the rest come from the donations of Jiangnan business circles and wealthy families.

Kong Sheng introduced a new policy, and donors can enjoy some kind of preferential tax treatment.

For the wealthy families in Jiangnan, as long as they can have a good relationship with Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County, it is more important than anything else at present.

Yang Qi did not enter Shannan.

Although he was in charge of the two military administrations in Jiangnan and Shannan, he did not go to Shannan once.

However, recently, Xue Long, a town in Shannan Domain, brought a generous gift to Jiangning to pay homage to Kong Sheng.

Compared with Jiangnan, Shannan's wealthy families are relatively weak, and Kong Sheng's new land reform policy has not yet been implemented in Shannan, otherwise Shannan would be calmer than in the past.

But since last week, there have been significantly fewer caravans in Jiangning City.

And the merchants from Shannan were also very few, but despite this, the news of the defeat of the official army in Hedong and the occupation of Luoyang by Shi Siming's rebels still spread to Jiangnan through the mouths of the merchants.

This kind of non-governmental information dissemination is faster and more direct than the official Di Bao.

When Kong Sheng got the news, his expression was clearly a little changeable.

Now the details of history have been partially adjusted, but the general direction has not changed.

Since the defeat of Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi still came as scheduled, it shows that Shi Siming's death is not far away.

Even, at this moment, he has died in the hands of Shi Chaoyi.

The original trajectory of history is roughly as follows: after the defeat of the Tang army, Shi Siming's rebels once again occupied most of Henan.

Shi Siming took advantage of the victory to attack Shaanzhou, but was blocked by the Tang army in the area of Jiang Ziban.

The battle was unfavorable, so he retreated to Yongning.

Shi Siming ordered the construction of the Triangle City, which took about a month to build, in order to store military rations.

His son Shi Chaoyi led the soldiers to work hard, and after the city was built, it did not reach the mud to plaster the outer wall.

Shi Siming inspected here, was furious, and summoned Shi Chaoyi, Luo Yue and other generals to the front, wanting to kill them to establish military prestige.

Shi Siming's son, Shi Chaoyi, knew that his father was extremely cruel, and there was no father-son affection at all.

Because he was worried about being killed by Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi and Luo Yue and others conspired against Shi Siming.

That night, Shi Siming was asleep, and Luo Yue and other fierce generals broke into the camp tent with murder weapons in hand and strangled the man alive.

Later, Luo Yue and others supported Shi Chaoyi to succeed to the throne, set the capital Luoyang, and the year name was revealed.

Soon, Shi Chaoyi sent people back to Fanyang to kill Shi Siming's empress Xin and the crown prince Shi Chaoxing.

In this way, An Lushan and Shi Siming's fate and ending are almost the same.

An Lushan died at the hands of his son An Qingxu, and Shi Siming died at the hands of his eldest son Shi Chaoyi.

This is of course related to the power struggle, but it also illustrates the murderous rebellion of Anshi and his relatives from one side.

In fact, what Shi Siming's ending is, Kong Sheng doesn't care at all.

What caused him to be uneasy was Nie Chuchen at the beginning, and now the red-line girl, Shi Siming's illegitimate daughter, who is said to have changed her name to Shi Chaoying, is still in Fanyang.

Shi Siming was killed, and most of Shi Siming's relatives died at the hands of Shi Chaoyi and his comrades, so whether Shi Chaoying is dead or alive, although Kong Sheng had already parted ways because the road was different from Shi Chaoying's, how could he say that he would break it off because of the difference between the road and Shi Chaoying Kong Sheng ordered Shenlongwei to collect information on the battle situation in Fanyang, Hedong.

Because of the long distance and poor information, what Shenlongwei got from the mouths of past merchants was only fragments of information, and there was no definite news.

It's just rumored that after Shi Chaoyi killed his father, he killed the queen and the prince Shi Chaoxing, and the Shi family was in civil strife, and Shi Chaoying, the daughter of Shi Siming, who was good at fighting, led more than 10,000 people to fight against Shi Chaoyi's army.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath, he considered the entire battle situation and came to his correct judgment.

Shi Chaoyi's rebels reoccupied Henan, and Luoyang fell, endangering the foundation of Chang'an.

The emperor had only two choices at this time, one was to enable the crown prince Li Yu to lead his army eastward and join the two armies of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.

Another option is to order himself to raise troops from Jiangnan to the north and strive to conquer Luoyang.

At the very least, it is necessary to form a strong containment and threat to the Henan rebels, so as to achieve the goal of encircling Wei to save Zhao Xuan and relieving Shi Chaoyi to attack Chang'an.

Based on Kong Sheng's understanding of the emperor, he thought it was unlikely that the emperor would use Li Yu.

In a sense, it has become inevitable for him to move from Jiangnan and Shannan to the north.

Kong Sheng immediately ordered the Jiangnan Army of 30,000 to reorganize its armament for battle, and at the same time transferred 20,000 troops from Shannan to Tangzhou.

Kong Sheng also ordered Zhang Xiao, the salt and cao transport envoy, to concurrently serve as a combat readiness transport envoy to collect grain and grass for the entire Shannan Jiangnan army and serve as the general logistics officer.

Kong Sheng's military order shook the entire Jiangnan and Shannan.

This is going to be a war, the people and businessmen are all panicking, and the magnates of the Jiangnan family and bureaucrats at all levels are a little disapproving, and they complain: no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, it has nothing to do with Jiangnan, and it is enough to hold the pure land of Jiangnan and Shannan, why should Kong Sheng get involved in the war in the Central Plains Among Yang Xueruo's four daughters, Su Wu probably guessed Kong Sheng's real worries.

After all, Shi Chaoying, that is, Nie Chuchen, is still in the Fanyang rebels, and Kong Sheng is worried about her safety.

As the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's daughter, Ji Guo naturally thinks that Kong Sheng's transfer of troops and generals to help the imperial court quell the rebellion is very correct, and Ji Guo is very contemptuous of the narrow mentality of the Jiangnan people in a corner of peace, and if the Central Plains cannot be saved, Jiangnan will sooner or later become a war-torn place.

What a simple truth it is that the skin does not have hair.

Even if there is no order from the imperial court, Kong Sheng took the initiative to raise troops to serve the king, which is also righteous.

In fact, Kong Sheng also thought so, if the emperor's edict did not come, he would raise troops to the north in the name of King Qin's escort and fight to the death against Shi Chaoyi's rebels.

Gu Yun's injuries gradually healed, and there was no major problem.

She and Su Wu were very thoughtful, and discussed joining the army to follow Kong Sheng to fight in Henan.

Both women are generals, can fight well, and both have led an army on their own, and they have rich experience.

Although Kong Sheng was a little unhappy, he couldn't stand the entanglement of the two women, especially Su Wu, so he had to nod and agree, but he didn't allow the two women to lead the army alone, and just follow him in the Chinese army to obey orders.

Sure enough, three days later, the emperor's edict and the imperial court's soldiers and horses arrived in Jiangning with an urgent military report of 800 miles.

Kong Sheng was ordered to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangnan and Shannan to go north to resist the enemy and strive to recover Luoyang. oshow7 t1706231537:
