From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 106: Shaowu Family

At present, the public security in Gaoxiang County under the rule of Richard Richards has been replaced by the patrol houses transferred from official officials. In addition, the number of young men and young men in Gaoxiang County has dropped drastically. Under the leadership of a well-functioning government team, no What confusion will appear.

Therefore, Richard was relieved to take away all the Ming army camps and the directly-affiliated system soldiers. Of course, the more than 2,000 Semu slave camps were used to serve the army and transport food and grass, and on the other hand to pull away at critical times. Go to the battlefield to gather the hard data of the 10,000-person battle in the prestige mission.

In this way, the number of troops Richard pulled out was close to 7,000. As long as you pick an enemy army of more than 2,000, you can conduct the 10,000-person battle required by the prestige mission!

Shiguo Mansion was originally the capital of the ancient country of the Western Regions of the Jieshi Kingdom. After its destruction during the Greenskin invasion, the Zhaowu family, a descendant of the surviving royal family of the Jieshi Kingdom, proclaimed his vassals to the Tang Dynasty and led the Tang army to retake the Western Regions such as the Jieshi Kingdom and Kangguo. The ancient country and the Jieshi country were renamed Shi Guofu by the Tang court.

Because the Zhaowu family made great contributions to this, it was entrusted to the Shi Guofu by the then Tang court. Later, as the Zhaowu family became more powerful, it mastered the military and political power of the Shi Guofu.

An Lushan raised 200,000 troops to rebel. After the Tufan Kingdom expelled Datang officials and became self-reliant, the Zhaowu family entrenched in the Shi Guo Mansion killed the Jiedu Envoy of the Shi Guo Mansion, bought and controlled the Tang Army in the Shi Guo Mansion, and took refuge in the Tufan Kingdom.

The Jiedu ambassadors in the Shi Guofu came by airborne. In order to maintain the rule of the remote areas, the Jiedu ambassadors of the Tang Dynasty came to call back and they would be rotated every few years.

But Jidu makes deployment easy, and the garrison cannot be deployed casually. Otherwise, the transfer of tens of thousands of people would be a very large expenditure. The entire Datang has hundreds of military agents. If all the garrisons are deployed, it is just normal. Rotation can make the court bankrupt!

Therefore, there is a saying in the local garrison-the iron-fighting camp and the running water...

Because of this, the Tang army stationed in the Shiguo Mansion for many years has been infiltrated and controlled by the local Zhaowu family. The new Jiedu envoy only brought dozens of personal soldiers, and even the tooth soldiers deployed by the Shiguofu to the Jiedu family have been controlled by the Zhaowu family. Serious penetration!

Of course, this is nothing in peacetime. Although Jiedu was a newcomer, but with the court behind him, the Zhaowu family did not dare to restrain him, and the local garrison did not dare to disobey the new Jiedu.

However, a large-scale rebellion occurred in the interior of the Datang, and the minds of the Anxi Duhu Mansion changed. The Jidu of the Shi Guo Mansion naturally became a stumbling block for the Zhaowu family, and it is not surprising that it is removed...

Without the endorsement of the Tang court, it would not be difficult for the Zhaowu family, which has been in business for hundreds of years, to get rid of a Jidu Envoy in the boundary of Shiguofu.

After the Shi Guofu Jiedu Envoy was removed, Zhaowu Dizhe, the Patriarch of the Zhaowu family, declared himself the Shi Guofu Jiedu Envoy, and incorporated 2,000 Tang Dynasty field troops in the Shi Guofu, including hundreds of elite tooth soldiers.

Subsequently, Zhaowu Dizha drew more than 2,000 soldiers from the soldiers of the Shi Guofu and the subordinate counties and counties.

The Zhaowu clan had long been in collusion with the tribes of the Tufan Kingdom, and the Tufan Kingdom was not monolithic. Although they shared the respect of Songtsen Gambo, the heads of the various tribes also wanted to make a fortune in the Anxi Prefecture.

So this time Zhaowu Dizhe of Shi Guofu joined the Tufan tribe with nearly 5,000 warriors.

These nearly 5,000 people were the support of the Tufan tribe to the Zhaowu family of Shiguo Mansion, and they were also the troops used by the Tufan tribe to plunder the Anguo Mansion.

The Tufan tribe needs to make war fortune and robbery. The Zhaowu family of Shiguo Mansion wants to annex Anguo Mansion. The two sides hit it off quickly, coupled with the previous good cooperative relations, and an army of tens of thousands of people was formed!

These tens of thousands are only the main combat troops. In addition, the Zhaowu family also recruited more than 20,000 Semu servants from the Shiguo Mansion. These Semu people served as a squadron of food and grass, and on the other hand, they were ready to be siege cannon fodder anytime and anywhere. !

Although the ancestors of the Zhaowu family were Semu people, they continued to marry the Han people after they became the leader of the Tang Jun. They were also granted Han nationality by the Tang court. It can be said that they have been completely separated from the original Semu people.

This was a political method used by the Tang Dynasty to rule the countries of the Western Regions. It absorbed the remnants of the powerful and meritorious officials of the Western Regions through marriage and uplifting ethnic status, and then used their familiarity with the local area to occupy the majority of cruel suppression and enslavement. A group of people!

After a long time, even the Zhaowu family felt that it was a man of the Han Dynasty!

Of course, because of the long-term marriage and mixed blood, the appearance of the Zhaowu family does not look much different from that of the Han people.

The reason why the Semu people were bullied by the Han people in the Anxi Prefecture was to some extent related to their appearance that was too far apart from the Han people, because the Semu people are a conquered nation and are naturally dwarf, and they can be identified at a glance. , Formed a unique racial hierarchy.

It is not difficult for the Han people to integrate a minority of Semu human rights through immigration, but it is impossible to change the Semu ethnic group~www.wuxiahere.com~ The population base of the Semu people in the Western Regions is too high...

Under the leadership of Zhaowu Dizhe, the army of Shi Guofu saw villages and burned villages like bandits. If the counties and towns encountered along the way did not surrender, they would massacre immediately after breaking the city. Whether they were Semu or Han, they would be treated equally...

The poor military discipline of Shi Guofu's army has a lot to do with the Tufan tribe fighters who account for half of them. These Tufan tribe fighters are the guest army, and Zhaobu Dizho is not too restrictive, and this group of Tufan tribe fighters Originally, Zhaowudi did not pay a penny for the army.

They joined the expedition army, and their plan was to make a fortune by robbery. If Zhaowu Dizhe dares to stop, the army will split within minutes!

Zhaowu Dizhe didn't care about these nearly 5000 mobs of Tufan tribe warriors, but he did not dare to offend the Tufan kingdom behind them, so he could only watch this group of Tufan tribe warriors become bandits, robbing them all the way, and bring An Guofu. The village under the rule of Huo Huo is unpredictable...

If it weren't for Zhaowu Dizhe's obstruction, they would even ransack the counties and towns that surrendered together!

People in this era often have a kind of urban-rural discrimination, and they often don't treat country people as human beings. Burning villages in wars is a routine operation.

But for counties and towns with cities, as long as they did not make fierce resistance, the conquerors would be somewhat restrained. Even the mob of Tufan tribe warriors did not let go of the robbery, and at most they would accept the gentry class from some counties and towns. Labor expenses.

Therefore, almost all the villages encountered by Shi Guofu's army heading to Anguo were looted, but the counties and towns remained largely intact.

Because of the strategy of Anguo Mansion’s Jiedu that Tao Anbang adhered to the city, the counties and towns adjacent to Shi State Mansion surrendered without a fight...
