Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth one hand covers the sky
Once the border troops and local governments in Yanbei agreed with the military and political leadership of the Northeast Ambassador Yanbei Head of the military and political headquarters in this area, the situation in Yanbei immediately underwent a subversive change. The officials, military and civilians immediately formed a confrontation, and the two sides were tense and about to break out.
This "citizen" is not the civilians in Yanbei, but the Han nobles in Yanbei represented by local families and thieves, as well as the enemy of Yanbei, as well as the horse and bandits in Yanbei. In other words, all local forces involved in Yanbei smuggling back to Yi belong to Yanbei officials and the target of the army's attack. The tacit understanding and cooperation in the past have become history. From now on, both sides are enemies, and they are enemies that will never end. Behind the dispute over interests, complex political struggles will inevitably involve, and political struggles are bloody and ruthless, either you die or I live.
With the help of his advantages at the political level, Galan quickly opened up the situation in Yanbei, took the initiative, and then started a big killing.
There is a lot of debate within the headquarters about Galan's series of strategies. Most people believe that Yanbei's local forces are huge. Although Galan differentiated Yanbei's interest groups at an incredible speed, it seemed that it opened a gap in the solid fortress, but the fortress did not collapse because of this. It is too dangerous to launch a forced attack on the "fortress" with limited power, especially the fortress. The Turks and Tiel people in the desert will inevitably put pressure on Yanbei as soon as possible for themselves. In this way, the headquarters is under the attack of the opponent's internal and external forces, and it is very likely that the enemy will be injured by the enemy instead of being injured. Therefore, the main objection within the headquarters is to not kill all the local forces in Yanbei, but to attack part, win over part, isolate part, and then attack them separately to ensure the chance of victory.
This strategy takes time and cannot be achieved overnight, so Galan flatly rejected it. With his outstanding prestige established during the Eastern Expedition, Galan arrogantly adhered to his plan and forced the headquarters, the northern border army of Yan and the local government to follow it.
Galan had no choice but to know that the situation in the empire was getting worse and worse, and although he tried his best to save it, things went against his wishes. The speed of the empire's collapse was not only not curbed by his own efforts, but was getting faster and faster. Time was already extremely tight for him. He signed his current weak strength, and he could only take a gamble in Yanbei and seek rapid development at all costs.
Jialan's quick success and instant benefits were not only criticized by the headquarters, but also opposed by the ambassador of Northeast Road, the general of the left guard of Zhuo County Xue Shixiong. Xue Shixiong was worried that the situation in Yanbei would be out of control and then affect the situation in the entire Northeast Road, so he specially sent Xue Wanjun to Yanbei to persuade him. However, Xue Wanjun was one step late, and when he arrived at Yanbei, the local forces in Yanbei were being attacked by Jialan. Although the heads were not rolling and blood flowing, more than 10,000 people were arrested. The people arrested not only involved local families, heroes, leaders of the captives, horse thieves, robbers, but also local forces in Yannan, Daibei, Hebei and even the Central Plains. If this situation continues, I believe that it will take not long before Jialan's "race" in Yanbei will definitely cause public outrage. It is even criticized by thousands of people and scolded by the emperor and the central government.
Of course, Galan expected this possibility, so while reporting to Xue Shixiong of Zhuo County, he sent a secret letter to Pei Shiju, submitting a secret message to the emperor, and reporting in detail about the changes in the situation in northern Yan and the impact of this change on the situation in northeastern Xinjiang and even the entire northern Xinjiang, as well as its positive role in promoting the new defense and diplomatic strategy of the northern Xinjiang drafted by the empire.
In early October, under the heavy pressure exerted by the Northeast Ambassador, the Left Imperial Guard General, and the Zhuo County Left Guard, Xue Shixiong, the remaining guard of Zhuo County, did not order the massacre of tens of thousands of private-involved people arrested. Instead, he strictly followed the imperial laws and tortured the private-involved people to force the private-involved people to admit their crimes.
If Jialan doesn't kill people now, it does not mean that he will not kill people after obtaining conclusive evidence. Thinking about the "heavy sins" committed by Jialan and his former subordinates of the Dragon Guard on the battlefield in Liaodong, it makes people frightened. Therefore, no matter how big the private person has, he will lobbi Kalan through various channels as quickly as possible, trying to atone for money.
You just want to rob Yanbei of smuggling benefits, okay, satisfy your wishes and give you money. You can give you as much as you want. This is OK, right? Besides, the private market in Yanbei must continue. Your government cannot openly smuggle, and it is impossible for us to be charged with treason and treason. So we will do this. You have done the work and completely destroyed the private market in Yanbei. Don’t say that the northern barbarians in the desert will not let you go, and the eastern capital will not let you go. So, you should stop at the right time. Let’s give in to each other. Everyone sit down and talk about the issue of profit distribution, and everyone is happy.
On the third day of the October 10th, the emperor led the palace to Dongdu.
Dongdu held a grand triumphal ceremony. While praising the emperor's martial arts, it also showed the empire's huge strength to the barbarians from all over the world.
However, amid the praises, the discordant tone is also extremely prominent, and the worst is the impeachment of Galan. One of the most serious crimes of impeachment is that Galan's misconduct in Yanbei is likely to cause the Civil War and drag the empire into the abyss of collapse.
The emperor and the central government remained silent in a tacit understanding, so rumors spread from the court and the national government that after winning the victory of the Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition, the emperor and the central government soon had to fight the northern expedition. Jialan's series of measures in Yanbei were to intensify the conflicts between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Seed, and to incite the Turks and Tiele in the desert, and then gain an excuse for the emperor to launch the Northern Expedition.
As expected by the impeachers of the Eastern Capital, the northern desert was forced to be under the pressure of the rapid changes in the situation in Yanbei. The Turks in the southern desert, led by Chiji, as the Shinnaduo, quickly gathered together and formed a powerful deterrent to the northern border of Central and Earth with the force of controlling 100,000. At the same time, the Hushu, who was in the East Turkic tent, actively lobbled the enemy in the Far East, and formed a coalition with some Shi Wei people, Xi people, Wu people and Khitan tribes, claiming to control 80,000, and also rushed towards Yanbei.
In a blink of an eye, Galan was in a dilemma of being attacked from both inside and outside, and being attacked from both sides.
Under heavy pressure, Galan seemed to obey the "public opinion". She let go and agreed to "redeem her sins with money", but the Lion of the Constable spoke out loudly, and the price was extremely high. She was very popular and she would not give up until she ate the private participants.
The situation was unfavorable to Galan, and the arrested private parties also changed their strategies, bargaining with the boss while watching the changes in the situation.
At the critical moment, Galan killed people. Within one day, he beheaded 3,000 people, and his head was rolling. Blood flowed into a river. For a moment, the government and the country were shocked, and China and foreign countries were shocked.
At the critical moment, Dongdu also "made efforts". Within a day, several imperial edicts were issued to transfer all the generals of the Guards of the northern Yan army.
The emperor ordered that the deputy ambassador of Northeastern Dao, Jia Lan, served as General Wu Ben, the left guard, and was fully responsible for the military affairs of Yanbei; Feng Yi, Westward Journey and other old generals of the Long Guard Army were all transferred to the Yanbei border town garrison; all the guards of the former Long Guard Army were transferred to the Yanbei border army and immediately entered the Great Wall pass to resist the invasion of the Northern Barbarians. The imperial emperor also granted Jia Lan the power to act cheaply in Yanbei North, and authorized him to recruit people and do everything possible to quickly increase the strength of the Yanbei town garrison army to ensure the safety of the Yanbei border.
The imperial edict was delivered to the Yanbei headquarters. The officials of the headquarters cheered and cheered. The anger of the past few months finally disappeared, and no one expected that the Dragon Guard Army would make a comeback in such a short time.
Jialan ordered the reorganization of Yanbei Army. The former Yanbei Town Garage Army had nine Yingyang Mansions and thirty-six regiments. 7,200 people, but half of the troops were transferred during the Eastern Expedition and the entire army was wiped out on the battlefield in Liaodong. Therefore, although the Yanbei border army still had nine Yingyang Mansions, there were only eighteen regiments and 3,600 people. The Long Guard Army did not suffer much loss on the battlefield in Liaodong, and it has always maintained the system of thirty-two regiments. After Chai Shao, Huang Junhan and Wei Zheng took away three regiments, the Long Guard Army had 29 regiments, and they all followed Jialan to Yanbei.
After the reorganization of the army, the Yanbei Town Garage Army reached 47 regiments and 9,400 men, but this was still far from Galan's expected goal.
Galan's strength has increased sharply and his power has become greater.
The eastern capital was silent, especially those impeachers, who felt that they had been plotted by the emperor and fell into a designed trap. The situation in Yanbei was developing towards provoking the battlefields of the north and south. The emperor and the center of the reformist faction seemed to be confused by the victory of the eastern expedition, and reason no longer existed. The military and militant force had replaced normal national defense and diplomatic strategies.
The empire must not be destroyed by you, and the great cause of unification in China and the gang cannot be destroyed by your interests. The empire's dissident political groups launched a new round of fighting, and the political struggle in the Eastern Capital became increasingly fierce, while the local situation was surging, and the tide of rebellion was "magnificent". The confrontation between local forces and the central government also escalated rapidly. While the central government's control over the local government quickly weakened, the local power was also increasing.
Galan's power expanded rapidly against the background of the empire.
Yan Bei is under the control of Jia Lan, and he can do whatever he wants. Jia Lan ordered that people should redeem money and corpses should also be redeemed. What made Yanbei people despair was that Jia Lan told Yanbei's forces in a stern manner that if you want to continue to stay in Yanbei, you must immediately join the Yanbei Town Garage Army with your own arms. All the private armed forces in Yanbei's township groups, clan groups and the barbarian tribes must immediately accept the adaptation of Yanbei's army.
Of course, these private armed forces will not become guardians of the Guards just because they were converted into regular troops of the empire, nor will they become professional soldiers. According to the imperial emperor's edict, they signed in the severe domestic and international situation of the empire. Given the serious shortage of the imperial guards' army, the imperial military system is supplemented with a recruitment system based on the government military system, recruiting people as soldiers, and temporarily recruiting strong brave men to supplement the army. After the war is over, they will be dismissed and returned to the fields, and they will do whatever they should do. And Galan obtained the power of recruiting people as soldiers granted by the emperor, and can do his best to expand the garrison army in Yanbei Town.
The small and medium-sized forces in Yanbei obeyed first. They had no capital to confront the government, nor did they have room to bargain with Jialan. They reported to Yanbei Headquarters as soon as possible and accepted the reorganization unconditionally.
The great forces in Yanbei are involved in various interest relations. Behind them are not only rich families, but also some political groups in the East Capital. The tribes of the various embassies are closely related to the big and small tents in the desert. Therefore, whether they follow Galan's orders not only needs to weigh their own pros and cons, but also need to consider the interests of the benefactors behind them. Therefore, they need to think about time repeatedly, but Galan does not give them time at all.
Jialan once again ordered the murder. Yanbei headquarters beheaded more than 3,000 levels in one breath. At the same time, the Yanbei Town Army followed Jialan's order and slaughtered the three largest Han local forces in Yanbei overnight. Five tribes of the enemy, the elderly, weak, women, children, chickens and dogs were left behind. Tens of thousands of people were in different places. The heads were really rolling, blood flowing into rivers, and corpses were everywhere. The methods were extremely cruel.
Yanbei was in a bloody and everyone was in danger. No one or any force dared to fight against Galan. Some forces were afraid of Galan's killing, but were unwilling to surrender to Galan, the demon, so they fled from Yanbei in panic. However, Galan killed people like slaughtering a dog, without any mercy and ordered Yanbei's army to encircle and block it without mercy.
By mid-October, Galan had completely controlled the situation in Yanbei with iron-blooded means and covered the sky with only one hand.
All the private armed forces belonging to large and small forces in Yanbei were adapted. The Yanbei Town Garage Army increased 37 regiments in a short period of time, of which the enemy horse army occupied 22 regiments.
On October 22, the cold wind roared. Jialan commanded the 84 regiments of the Yanbei Town Garage Army to leave the Great Wall, along Huaihuang, and Yuyi towns to head northward. The troops pointed directly at Chijishi Ashinadula and Shilifa Shi Shuhu Huxi, and the war between the north and south was about to begin.
