Chapter 1837: Stabilizing Hebei Youth
After the two female soldiers opened the curtain of the big tent, Mu Guiying strode into the tent, where a group of female generals of the Detachment of Women had been waiting for a long time.
“See general.”
After Arthur and Hua Mulan took the lead, all the female generals present also clasped their fists and saluted: "See you, general."
Seeing this, Mu Guiying's eyes were full of excitement. She did not expect that after so many years, she would still have the opportunity to go to the battlefield with her sisters.
After Mu Guiying slowly walked up to the position of commander, she glanced at Qin Liangyu who was standing next to her, and saw Qin Liangyu smiling and motioning for her to sit down. Mu Guiying did not refuse, flicked her shirt, and said with a smile: "Sisters, No gift."
“Thank you, General.”
Mu Guiying took the main seat, while Qin Liangyu stood beside her, obviously showing that Mu Guiying was taking the lead.
Mu Guiying sat down and glanced at the generals below. All she saw were familiar faces, which made her even more proud.
The Detachment of Women has been fighting for so long and experienced so many battles, but none of the top generals have died in battle. This army has definitely the lowest casualty rate.
“General Hua Mulan, please report on the situation of the Detachment of Women.” Mu Guiying asked.
"General, there are 8,000 female soldiers registered in the Detachment of Women. The actual number is 8,000, and no one is missing. Among them, there are 1,500 light cavalry, 500 heavy armored cavalry, 2,000 sword and shield hands, and 500 sword and sword hands. There are 2,500 crossbowmen and 1,000 spearmen," Hua Mulanhui reported.
“Well, the Detachment of Women has received some unfair treatment over the years, but even so, the number of soldiers has not been reduced. The girls are all good.”
Mu Guiying's eyes were filled with relief. No one knew better than her what the Detachment of Women had gone through over the years. After all, in order to maintain the formal establishment of the Detachment of Women, even she did not stop blowing Qin Hao's side. .
"General Liya, you are responsible for the training of the entire army. If a war breaks out, will the Detachment of Women dare to fight? Can they fight?" Mu Guiying asked again.
Arthur didn't even think about it and said directly: "Although the Women's Army has not been on the battlefield for a long time, it has never stopped training every day. Once it goes to the battlefield, it will not only dare to fight and be able to fight, but also win the battle."
“Okay, what I want is your words.”
Mu Guiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time his eyes were ignited with fighting spirit, and he ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, the Detachment of Women will take over the security of Luoyang City.
Arthur and Yang Paifeng led 1,500 troops to take charge of the East City.
Hua Mulan and Yang Qi led 1,500 troops to take charge of the West City.
Deng Chanyu and Liang Hongyu led 1,500 troops to take charge of the North City.
Fan Lihua and Hu Sanniang led an army of 1,500 people to take charge of Nancheng.
This general and General Qin Liangyu personally led two thousand troops and horses to provide support in the center. "
)
With Mu Guiying's comeback, replacing Qin Jian, and taking charge of the Qin army's military power, the imperialists actually looked at it as a joke.
Even if Qin Jian, a veteran general, can't do it, if Mu Guiying with a group of female generals can do it well, it will be a ghost. All the people with ulterior motives were waiting to see Mu Guiying’s joke, but they didn’t expect that Mu Guiying actually did it.
The Detachment of Women was deployed for only one day, and the prison was almost full of prisoners, and the public security in Luoyang also improved significantly, which shocked countless people.
At the same time, Qin Hao, who was far away in Jizhou, decisively sent reinforcements to Sizhou after receiving a request for help from Luoyang.
There were constant wars in Jingbei, Sizhou and Hetao, but there was a brief period of peace in Hebei due to the Manchu Qing's southward march.
The reason why Qin Hao stopped marching was not because he was afraid of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone the Northern Han Dynasty, but because he was afraid that excessive stimulation would force the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty to join forces.
The Northern Han Dynasty gathered the strength of the whole country to expand its army to 180,000, but only half of Youzhou could not support such an army.
The war mobilization of the Northern Han Dynasty was already at an explosive level. Even if the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack, they would not be able to hold on for long. Once the grain reserves were exhausted, the 180,000 Northern Han army would even collapse on their own.
Qin Hao and a group of military advisers naturally saw this, so they ordered the army to suspend the offensive while stabilizing the two new rear areas of Jizhou and Qingbei.
Qin Hao had newly acquired the lands of Jizhou and Qingbei, and the people in the two places were far from being loyal to him. He didn't want to have a fire in his backyard during the decisive battle with the Northern Han and Manchu Qing Dynasties, so he took advantage of this free time to stabilize and sort out the political affairs of the two states.
If you want to conquer Jizhou and Qingbei, you mainly need to conquer the local aristocratic families. Once the aristocratic families surrender, the two places will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. However, it is impossible for the aristocratic families in the two states to actively accept the Qin army's policies, so in the end, they will still have to wave the butcher knife at the aristocratic families. .
When Qin Hao attacked Jizhou, there were many Jizhou aristocratic families who helped Yuan Shao resist the Qin army, and this just gave Qin Hao an excuse to settle accounts later.
There are two to three hundred aristocratic families in Jizhou, and there are nearly a hundred families with manors. Qin Hao is not a murderer. Of course, it is impossible to kill all the families with so many families.
Qin Hao followed Guo Jia's suggestion and selected thirty families that helped Yuan Shao the most, and directly took over these families. All the men were imprisoned and executed together, while all the women were demoted to slaves and rewarded to the soldiers.
On the day of the execution, Qin Hao also summoned the heads of other families to watch the execution.
Thousands of heads fell to the ground at once. This **** and cruel scene greatly shocked the major families in Hebei and made them understand the consequences of going against Qin Hao.
Feared, the major families handed over their private soldiers, fields and population one after another to prevent the Qin army's butcher's knife from also cutting on their own heads.
You cannot conquer aristocratic families by just relying on killing, Zhang Jiao is the best example, and hitting a stick with a sweet date is the best way to deal with aristocratic families.
Therefore, after Qin Hao seized the land and hidden population of the aristocratic families and forcibly promoted the new law, he took the initiative to promote many surrendered ministers or scholars from Jizhou aristocratic families as officials as a compensation to the aristocratic families.
Although the aristocratic family lost their land and population, they also gained official positions, and most of their resentment towards Qin Hao was dissipated.
Killing some of the strongest leaders and winning over the vast majority of the people. It was by relying on these two methods that Qin Hao quickly stabilized Jizhou and Qingbei. While confronting the Northern Han and Manchu Qing Dynasties, Qin Hao also had a relatively stable Great rear.
Among the Hebei officials who were taken over by Qin Hao, the most important ones were Xiao Yan, who surrendered voluntarily, and Wen Zhong, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou.
Although Tian Feng was unwilling to surrender at first and wanted to die in order to maintain his loyalty, Yuan Tan not only failed to save him when he escaped from prison, but was worried that he would surrender to the Qin army, and even wanted to get rid of Tian Feng directly. If Zhang Kui hadn't rushed If he arrives in time, Tian Feng will definitely die at the hands of Yuan Tiangang.
After this incident, Tian Feng was completely disappointed with the Yuan family, and later surrendered voluntarily under Qin Hao's persuasion.
