Han Tao and Peng Qi made many contributions when they followed Huyan Zhuo in attacking the Jingji Road.
Therefore, he was promoted to general and given command of the new army.
Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin had always served as Qin Ming's deputy general.
They made significant contributions in capturing both Jingdong and Hedong.
Plus, he's got enough seniority.
They were both promoted to generals.
(The rank of commander of ten thousand men is general; the rank of commander of a thousand men is colonel; and the rank of commander of a hundred men is captain.)
Those who were promoted to general together,
There were also Hao Siwen, the well-known general who served as Guan Sheng's deputy, and Xuan Zan, the ugly prince consort.
Zhang Qing, the Featherless Arrow; Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind.
Although Li Kui was also a general,
But his official rank was only that of a general.
He did not receive a substantive position as commander of ten thousand.
Li Kui was unwilling to lead troops.
Of course, he couldn't lead ten thousand people.
The characters include Shi Xiu, the daredevil; Suo Chao, the vanguard; Liu Tang, the red-haired devil; Shi Jin, the nine-striped dragon; Shan Tinggui, the holy water general; and Wei Dingguo, the divine fire general.
However, he was under Lin Chong's command.
Because Lin Chong's troops never had the opportunity to fight.
They did not achieve any success and were unable to get promoted.
Also because Lin Chong had so many elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command,
Zhao Yuan was relieved that Lin Chong could lead his troops alone to annihilate Wang Qing.
Zhao Yuan was not bluffing.
What kind of game involves 100,000 troops, claiming to have 200,000 or 300,000?
Even a trick involving 500,000,
It was a real force of 110,000 soldiers.
Lin Chong and his 10,000 soldiers also swore an oath before setting off on their campaign.
Zhu Wu served as the military advisor.
Shaanxi has already mobilized 50,000 troops.
They will meet up with Lin Chong in Xijing.
Although neither of the two Liang armies deployed large numbers of troops.
However, it has the power to shake the world.
These days, through official gazettes and word of mouth,
The news of King Liang building a spaceship has spread throughout the land.
Facing the Liang army, which could fly.
Resistance undoubtedly requires great courage.
Moreover, the Great Liang had just wiped out the Western Xia.
The two armies had just set out when
As a result, many prefectures and counties that had submitted to the Southern Song Dynasty and Wang Qing surrendered without resistance.
The Huainan East and West Routes north of the Yangtze River
Originally, some prefectures had also submitted to the Southern Song Dynasty.
But upon hearing that the army was marching south...
Many officials either abandoned the city and fled.
Or they may surrender the city.
Chapter 1761 So Weak
No war broke out.
Zhao Yuan led 110,000 troops to the banks of the Yangtze River.
The main enemies of the Song Dynasty were the Liao and Western Xia dynasties, and its army was primarily composed of infantry.
The navy only had two Tiger Wing naval units under the Palace Guard and the Infantry Command.
Under Gao Qiu's command,
The Tiger Wing Navy has long since become a performance troupe for acrobatic drills.
They have completely lost their fighting ability.
Therefore, when Cai You attacked Liangshan...
Only then did they mobilize the Yangtze River naval forces led by Liu Menglong.
Liu Menglong led the Yangtze River navy.
It can be said to be the largest navy in the Song Dynasty.
Get rid of this online army,
In various places, there are only a few scattered naval forces commanded by one or two individuals.
It would be more accurate to say they were a few hundred soldiers skilled in boat handling.
The Liang Dynasty's navy, however, consisted of fishermen from Liangshan Marsh.
Together with the surrendered Yangtze River navy under Liu Menglong,
The warships were built at Liangshan and obtained from the Tiger Wing Navy.
It can be said that the soldiers were well-trained and the ships were strong.
After Liu Menglong's navy was defeated and surrendered to Liangshan,
The Song Dynasty did not have time to rebuild its navy on the Yangtze River.
After Tong Guan established the Southern Song Dynasty in Huzhou,
Only then did they begin to rush the construction of warships.
Recruiting online trolls
They wanted to intercept the Liang army on the Yangtze River.
At the same time, they recruited soldiers extensively in various prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River.
Prepare to resist the southward advance of the Liang dynasty.
Hou Jianfei
After Zhao Yuan announced that he would send troops to annihilate Wang Qing and Tong Guan on the first day of the ninth month,
The Jiangnan region was greatly shaken.
Tong Guan supported Zhao Zicheng, a direct descendant of Emperor Taizu of Song (Zhao Kuangyin), to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. These actions lasted for several months.
Prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River all submitted to the government.
However, Tong Guan's personal guards were disintegrated due to Fang Baihua's scheme.
The Western Army surrendered to Daliang.
After the Great Liang dynasty wiped out the Western Xia,
After this series of events spread,
Many state governments then wavered.
The prefectures that the Southern Song Dynasty could truly control
It was nothing more than a dozen prefectures in Jiangnan East Circuit.
Their power was roughly equal to that of Lü Shinang.
Let alone compared to the Great Liang.
Even compared to Lü Shinang's power,
They are all considerably weaker.
After Tong Guan's personal guards disintegrated,
There were no more soldiers available for battle in Jiangnan East Road.
Under pressure from the main beam,
The Southern Song Dynasty recruited 200,000 soldiers from Jiangnan East Circuit.
Previously, it was the wealthy families in Jiangnan who were afraid that the Liang dynasty would kill them, so they took the initiative to provide money and food to support the army.
However, the Great Liang dynasty wiped out the Western Xia.
A general amnesty was declared.
This also includes the people south of the Yangtze River.
Those wealthy households no longer need to worry about the Liang dynasty settling scores later.
Therefore, they were unwilling to provide funds and provisions for supporting the Southern Song army.
Moreover, the Great Liang already possesses the military might to threaten the entire world.
They're responsible for training those new recruits.
They certainly couldn't defeat the Liang army.
They might even commit new sins as a result.
Whether it was the Southern Song imperial family that intervened,
It was Zong Ze and Jiang You who stepped forward.
These wealthy households all claimed that their money and grain were insufficient to meet their needs.
They were willing to pay taxes and grain in the same amount as the common people.
However, they are no longer able to provide the same large sums of money and supplies as before.
The Southern Song court also recruited many upright and incorruptible officials.
They also strongly opposed the imperial court following the example of the Liang dynasty, which killed wealthy families to enrich the court.
Ultimately, the Southern Song court had no choice but to increase taxes.
The heavy taxes made ordinary people suffer greatly.
After the Great Liang Dynasty granted a general amnesty,
The harm done to the people in Jiangnan has almost disappeared.
Many large-scale farmers also voluntarily opened their warehouses to release grain.
Provide relief to disaster victims.
Even the most prosperous times are no more than this.
However, the Southern Song court was far from happy.
They knew that those powerful figures who had harmed the people in the past hadn't suddenly become benevolent.
Rather, they fear adding new sins.
Let the Great Liang unify the world and then punish them.
