From Soldier To Emperor

Whether it is building weapons and equipment or organizing regiments to train arms and expand private soldiers, it takes time to prepare, even if you have money, it will take at least half a year.

Without half a year to train farmers and build weapons and equipment, can Tang coins become real objects out of thin air?

Therefore, the rapid fall of Liangzhou caused Shanzhou and Huizhou, the landlord and squire armed by the Tang state, and the private soldiers, who were too late to react, and collided with the Liangzhou army of the Ming State.

The most important thing is that the landlord armed forces and the private soldiers in Shanzhou and Huizhou do not have a unified command at all. They are just equivalent to small local warlords, although they are stronger than the local officials (mainly because the Tang Dynasty did not Money), but it's not enough to follow the Liangzhou army, which is frequently attacked by 5 figures.

The Liangzhou Army didn't use any surprise tactics. It was enough to push it by just relying on strength. The landlord, country gentry and proletariat forces had their roots. After the break, their people lost money and land, and naturally they couldn't sustain it.

And because the landlords, squires and warriors and private lords and private soldiers have no leader, they were easily defeated by the Liangzhou army one by one!

The combined strength of these two continents is not as great as that of Liangzhou alone!

This is the huge gap caused by the difference in mobilization!

The landlord squires and cliques who did not disperse their wealth and expand the army also made the Liangzhou army really enjoy it. As a prisoner of war army, the Liangzhou army has no military pay. On weekdays, the Ming court is only responsible for the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

There is no wartime allowance after the expedition. The impoverished Ming court is not enough to support its new local army. How can it be possible to subsidize a group of prisoners of war cannon fodder?

As for the officers of the Western Regions, all of them are loyal and brave men who don't need any military pay and selflessly slay the enemy for Richard!

It can be said that the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, except for a set of fighting clothes, are so poor that it is called a jingle...

This kind of poor ghost soldiers faced the strongholds of the old wealth of the landlords, and coupled with the promise that all the spoils from Mingguo would go to the Liangzhou army, it was not a looting as desperately as crazy...oh no, it was a blow enemy!

Under the system of officers transferred from the Western Regions Army, the Liangzhou Army has performed well the central idea of ​​robbing the rich and helping the poor.

To rob the enemy’s riches and help his own poor...

Stimulated by the robbery, the morale of the Liangzhou Army, which was originally low in morale, exploded. After discovering that the landlord armed and private soldiers were not as good as their own in terms of number and combat effectiveness, their morale directly reached their peak!

In fact, the battles in Shanzhou and Huizhou all broke out between the Liangzhou army and the landlord squires and warriors, as well as the local cliques.

On the contrary, most of the officials loyal to the Tang Dynasty surrendered without a fight. Those county soldiers and patrol teams that had little combat effectiveness and used for public security also dispersed in a rush...

The subjectivity of the government's resistance is in sharp contrast with the will of the landlord, country gentry, and private soldiers, mainly because of two reasons.

First, Mingguo's order for the equalization of land debts made the county soldiers and patrol battalions at the bottom with dead wages very low in fighting will.

On the other hand, the landlord, squire and private soldiers, under the premise that their homes were ruined, this group of local wealth was quite generous to the regiments and private soldiers under their command, even the banner of the equal land debt exemption became unwieldy!

Second, Ming Guo offered generous enrollment conditions for Tang's demotion. To what extent?

As long as you voluntarily surrender, you won't be downgraded at the first level!

This is simply an amnesty for the local officials of Tang State!

In front of the mighty Ming army, one side was stubbornly resisting and fighting a war that was undoubtedly defeated, and then he and the whole family were knocked off, and his wife and daughter were reduced to women in the Liangzhou army...

On the other side, he changed his official robe, and then continued to act in front of his master's official master!

Regardless of future problems and the degradation of one's reputation caused by surrender, how high can this group of officials be in the face of life and wealth?

Of course, there were also those who were loyal to the country among the local officials of the Tang state, and then after the entire city was broken by the Liangzhou army, the whole family and friends and relatives were not left behind-the Jiu Clan!

Not right, young and beautiful women will be left behind, but it is estimated that those women would prefer to be executed directly on the spot...

In this way, the Liangzhou army swept Shanzhou and Huizhou all the way, and the speed of the attack once again shocked the eyes of the Chang'an court...

The fall of Shanzhou and Huizhou is not surprising, the Chang'an court was horrified that the resistance of the local government was actually vulnerable!

The vast majority of local officials surrendered in their entirety, which caused a chain reaction!

This created a phenomenon for outsiders that the Ming army had become a general trend and the Tang state was about to perish.

It is exactly the same as when An Lushan entered Chang'an!

However, the army in Anlu Mountain was not blocked by landlord squires and private sects. It was after all the elite main forces of the Tang army were gathered and annihilated, they drove all the way to Chang'an.

But now?

There are still more than 60,000 elite main forces in the Tang state who are calling back ~www.wuxiahere.com~ The landlord squire group training and the private soldiers are flourishing, and they have played the banner of the king of duty. In the territory of the Tang state, it is a big environment that the people want!

The battle between Shanzhou and Huizhou did show the loyalty of this group of landlords, wealthy and powerful influences to Tang.

They are better than the government, can they not be considered loyal?

It’s a pity that the landlord’s squire group training and the private sects are a mess after all, and they are not even a sect. How can they fight the Ming army?

Let's not mention the special products of the Ming army-the undead army and the two-headed giant.

Just a mere Liangzhou army can't stop it!

Interestingly, after the Liangzhou army swept the Huizhou of Shanzhou, not only did it not lose too much due to the battle with the landlord squires and the private sects, but because it absorbed a large number of troops to become more abundant!

You know, the Liangzhou Army has fought a lot of fortified battles in Shanzhou and Huizhou, even if it is not a big city, it is just a home fort built by landlords, squires and local cliques, but it can't hold up the number!

In terms of class antagonism, those landlord squires and cliques desperately resisted the Ming army!

Then the Liangzhou Army's on-site supplementary troops were full!

The most annoying thing is that Ming’s logistics support to the Liangzhou Army is very weak. This is mainly due to the rush of the offensive. Richard didn’t expect the Liangzhou Battle to win so easily before, and only prepared the materials to fight Liangzhou. Even if the extra is more than ten thousand surplus of the Western Regions Legion!

Suddenly there were 100,000 Liangzhou Army troops, so naturally they couldn't afford it...

As a result, the Liangzhou army was self-sufficient by robbery in Shanzhou and Huizhou!

Moreover, he did not act on ordinary civilians at all, and only snatched the nest of landlords, squires and local celebrities.

After finishing fighting in Shanzhou and Huizhou, the Liangzhou Army had the military supplies to continue the southward strategy!

At this moment, the envoy of Yan State came to Chang'an City.
