People in Dasong: starting from the sign-in

Chapter 296

Chapter 296

Because Li Xiaoren, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, fled in a hurry, he did not have time to destroy the letters and covenants he had previously communicated with the Kingdom of Jin, the Qiyan Department, and Dali.

After the Xixia Kingdom surrendered, Ma Shoucheng discovered a large number of letters between the four alliances against the Song Dynasty in the Xixia Palace.

Ma Shoucheng didn't dare to make decisions privately, so he quickly sent someone to send the seized letters to Xiao Qi.

While waiting for Xiao Qi's order, Ma Shoucheng ordered the ministers who surrendered in Xixia to order to the Xixia army in other places in Xixia: Xixia has surrendered to Song Dynasty, let them immediately surrender to the Changsheng camp that took over the territory.

The generals in the Xixia Army were very aware of the terrifying combat power of the Changsheng Camp of the Song Dynasty. Most of the Xixia Army honestly opened the city gates and surrendered to the Changsheng Battalion when they saw the Song army coming to take over the city.

There are also several Xixia loyalists, or Xixia generals who have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the chaos to stand on their own hills, refuse to surrender, trying to rely on what they call the so-called strong city to fight to the death with the Changsheng camp.

As a result, under the bombardment of the newly equipped mortars of the Changsheng Battalion, the strong city they called was blown down within 10 minutes.

The Changsheng Battalion infantry rushed through the gap in the city wall and entered the city, and opened the city gate at the city gate. After the Changsheng Battalion cavalry entered the city from the city gate, the battle ended quickly.

The fierce charge of the Changsheng Battalion's cavalry had frightened the Xixia Army many years ago.

At the moment when the Xixia soldiers in the city saw the Changsheng Battalion cavalry rushing into the city, most of the Xixia army threw away their swords and guns and surrendered on their knees!

Ma Shoucheng's move to occupy the entire Xixia was considered swift. In just over half a month, all the large cities, pastures and other gathering places of the Xixia people in the entire Xixia were completely controlled by the Changsheng Battalion.

At this time, Zhenbei King Xiao Qi's reply letter was sent to Ma Shoucheng.

Xiao Qi told Ma Shoucheng in the letter that because the Changsheng Battalion was going to attack Mongolia with all its strength, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who surrendered from the original Xixia would become hidden dangers.

In order to reduce his worries when he attacked Mongolia, Xiao Qi ordered Ma Shoucheng to give preferential treatment to those soldiers who surrendered from Xixia, and told them that now Xixia had surrendered to Song Dynasty, and they had become citizens of Song Dynasty.

If they are willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty, they will be directly incorporated into the Great Song Army. If anyone does not want to be a member of the Song Dynasty, they can choose to leave Xixia and go elsewhere. The Changsheng Camp will never embarrass them.

Those Xixia soldiers who were willing to become the Song Army directly told them that their loyalty should be tested. The test method was to hand them over to Zhang Jiangong in the rear, and Zhang Jiangong would lead them to attack Dali.

In the letter, Xiao Qi told Ma Shoucheng that he must not attack the Kingdom of Jin at this time. At this time, the strength of the Changsheng Battalion is not enough to fight on three fronts at the same time, and he must not attack the Kingdom of Jin at this time.

Moreover, the Xixia people are still very afraid of Dajin's military strength. If there is a war with Dajin, the Xixia army that has just surrendered is likely to have other changes.

After receiving Xiao Qi's military order, Ma Shoucheng immediately announced the decision of King Zhenbei to the Xixia army.

Those surrendered soldiers in the Xixia army who were still worried about their fate heard that not only did they not have to do hard labor, but they also suddenly became Song people. This surprised these Xixia surrendered soldiers!

They have heard many years ago that the people of the Song Dynasty lived an extremely happy life. Not only did they have to pay a lot less taxes, but even the court would provide money to subsidize the people after giving birth to a child.

This made all the Xixia descendants very happy, and they all expressed their willingness to become the Song army and serve the Song Dynasty.

As for those who don't want to be Song people, they won't embarrass them, and will let them leave Xixia to go where they want to go.

What a joke!

Not to mention that if you say you don't want to be a Song person, will your head be beheaded, and you will suddenly become a citizen of the Song Dynasty?

None of these surrendered troops were willing to leave, and they were all willing to become Song troops and serve the Song Dynasty.

This made Ma Shoucheng again in trouble. There are more than 20 and nearly 30 Xixia soldiers. If they are all handed over to Zhang Jiangong to lead the attack on Dali.

It would be troublesome if this group of soldiers got mixed up with the Dali people and turned around to attack Zhang Jiangong.

Zhang Jiangong now only has [-] Changsheng Battalion soldiers in his hands. Among the [-] Changsheng Battalion veterans who remained in the Song Dynasty, apart from the tens of thousands guarding the border of the Kingdom of Jin, there are only so many that Zhang Jiangong can use.

If this is really reconciled by those surrendered soldiers and the Dali people, Zhang Jiangong will suffer a lot if he can't handle it.

But after all, Ma Shoucheng is also an old fritter who has commanded the army for many years. He just had a headache all night, and Ma Shoucheng came up with a good idea the next day.

He once again came to the Xixia military camp, which had been declared a Song army, and told them that the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack Xixia this time because Xixia colluded with Dali and the Mongols to plot against the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty will not only attack Xixia this time, but will also attack Mongolia and Dali later. Considering that you are bordering Mongolia, it is somewhat unkind to let you attack Mongolia with the Changsheng Battalion.

Therefore, some of you will be sent to follow General Zhang Jiangong of the Changsheng Battalion to attack Dali.

However, as the first battle for you to become the new army of the Great Song Dynasty, you must show your prestige, so you must select one hundred thousand elites from among you. After all, you represent the prestige of the Great Song Army when the war begins.

These Xixia descendants who had just become the Song army had no objection to Ma Shoucheng's words.

After all, each of them is very clear about the strength of the Great Song Changsheng Battalion. It is recognized as the most powerful army in the world by surrounding countries.

There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. Most of the 30 or [-] people surrendered without engaging in battle with them. They have nothing to say if they think that their fighting power is not good enough.

Then Ma Shoucheng set several selection rules, and stipulated that the 10 people selected this time will be the elite of their new army, and will be responsible for guarding the land and patrolling the border full-time in the future.

Those who are not selected will become the city defense forces of various places in this land that has just become the Great Song Dynasty, and will be responsible for the security defense of various places.

Of course, as an elite army, coupled with the hard work of guarding the soil and patrolling the border, the treatment of the [-] new frontier troops will be much better than that of the city defense army.

The old saying that people make money and birds die for food is true. The fact that being selected into the new frontier army of 10 people will be paid much better than that of the city defense army aroused the desire of these people to win.

After more than ten days of selection, one hundred thousand elites were finally selected from these people.

Ma Shoucheng immediately handed them over to Zhang Jiangong in the rear, and wrote to remind him to be careful of these people, and not to have any accidents when he led them to conquer Dali.

Zhang Jiangong, who had received the military order from the King of Zhenbei before, had already made all preparations. He had also followed Xiao Qi in battles for many years, so this problem could not trouble him.

During these more than ten days, Zhang Jiangong also specially made some arrangements for his [-] Changsheng Battalion.

It is strictly ordered that when attacking Dali, no matter when marching or fighting, there must be special manpower to observe and monitor these surrendered troops. If you find any changes in these people, don't keep your hands and kill them all!

Ma Shoucheng handed over the selected 10,000 new frontier troops to Zhang Jiangong, and ordered the remaining [-]+ people to be stationed in various places, leaving an army of [-] cavalry to patrol the land newly assigned to the Song Dynasty , to prevent any accidents.

After that, Ma Shoucheng rectified the army and horses, and killed the Mongolian Qiyan tribe.

At the same time, Zhang Jiangong handed over the logistics of Ma Shoucheng's army to the generals below, and he took the [-] Changsheng Battalion and the [-] new frontier troops to turn around and head south to Dali.

When Zhang Jiangong led an army of 15 to attack Dali, the [-] new frontier troops were fearful and timid when they encountered the Changsheng Battalion. They were fierce and unusual, which surprised Zhang Jiangong.

The [-] Xixia New Frontier Army also has their own thoughts, and the generals who command them have also privately told their soldiers that they are now a powerful Song Dynasty New Frontier Army, and their treatment is much better than before. times.

Everyone is the Xixia elite who has been selected. This battle must let these Song troops know that our Xixia soldiers are not soft-footed shrimps, and we can fight!

Each of these 10 people wanted to build a reputation for their new army so that the Song Dynasty army would no longer underestimate them, so a scene appeared on the battlefield that surprised Zhang Jiangong.

Zhang Jiangong discovered that the [-] new frontier troops were the same as when he first followed the son-in-law to resist the Jin army, all of them were extremely fierce and fearless!

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiangong understood what these people were thinking. After taking down a Dali city, Zhang Jiangong brought a large amount of meat to the new army barracks.

Zhang Jiangong called them together and praised them without hesitation, bluntly saying that each of them fought bravely and had already qualified as a reserve army of the Changsheng Battalion of the Great Song Dynasty. Such combat power was also top-notch among the ordinary troops of the Great Song Dynasty.

Pointing to the carts that he brought with him to pull the meat, Zhang Jiangong said:

"The king of Zhenbei has a strict order that all soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol during the war. Although there is no alcohol this time, it is to commend you for fighting bravely.

I have bought all the meat in the city for you to reward the soldiers for being brave and brave in death, and making the new frontier army famous! "

Zhang Jiangong's words completely cheered up the [-] new frontier soldiers!

Many people were moved to tears because they were finally recognized!

what are you talking about?

We have already ranked among the top ranks of the general army of the Song Dynasty, are we eligible to become the reserve army of the Changsheng Battalion of the Song Dynasty?

That is the strongest army in the world!

Since this time, these new frontier troops have fought more bravely in each battle.

Great Song Changsheng Camp!

Now that we have entered the eyes of General Zhang of the Changsheng Battalion, wouldn't we have the opportunity to enter when the Changsheng Battalion replenishes new troops in the future?

What are you thinking about? Kill him!

The [-] new frontier soldiers fought desperately, and the soldiers of Dali Kingdom will be tragic.

At the beginning, some people dared to lead the army to resist the Song army.

As a result, all the generals who dared to resist, as well as the soldiers they brought, were all killed by this group of new frontier soldiers who wanted to prove themselves!

Later, as long as Zhang Jiangong went with Chang Shengying, the nearby Dali army and officials would have already run away, let alone find them, and the taillights of the early run could not be seen.

But those people in Dali stayed behind and did not run away. The people in Dali also know that the army of Song Dynasty never harass the people. take care of you.

Moreover, these people in Dali are willing to call from the heart of the Song Dynasty, because as long as they are people living under the rule of the Song Dynasty, their small life is quite good.

Annan, which has been included in the territory of the Song Dynasty for many years, is a good example. Now under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the people of Annan have enough to eat and wear warm clothes.

Where is it like here, the poor people are always bullied by the rich and powerful, and they don't eat the next meal.

The local people did not reject the Song army. They were afraid that the Song people would be troubled by Dali dignitaries after they left, so they did not dare to welcome the Song army. However, as long as the Song army inquired about something, these people would be very careful. Let me make it clear to you.

At this time, the lord of Dali regretted that his guts were green, why did he form an alliance with them in a flash of his brain?

It's good now. Da Jin, who took the lead in forming the alliance, is fine. Xixia is dead, and Da Song has begun to attack Mongolia. Needless to say, it is a matter of time for him to be destroyed sooner or later.

He wanted to ask for surrender from the Song Dynasty, but he was worried that the Song Dynasty royal family would be angry and that he would form an alliance with the Jin Xixia and Qiyan tribes to deal with the Song Dynasty.

Don't surrender yourself at that time, but let the Song people occupy Dali without any effort. As a result, your family was beheaded, and the others have nothing to do, so why surrender yourself!

Just when the ruler of Dali was hesitating, Zhang Jiangong had brought the Song Changsheng Battalion and the [-] new frontier troops to a place less than [-] miles away from the Dali Kingdom.

At this time, he just woke up like a dream, and he couldn't worry about being beheaded. Wouldn't it be a dead end if he stayed here and waited for the city to break down?

So why hesitate, run!

The Lord of Dali quickly ordered to pack up the luggage and load it into the car, preparing to flee elsewhere.

But he never expected that when his ministers learned that he was going to run away, they gathered together to discuss: The covenant was signed by the king, and someone must be responsible for this matter. If he ran away, wouldn't we become the enemy? Is it covered? We can’t let him run away!

Originally, they wanted to lead people to block the Dali king in his residence and put him under house arrest. When the Song people came, they surrendered the city and handed over the king.

But the Lord of Dali, who was packing up his things and preparing to run away, heard the report from the guards, saying that the ministers of the court and the Central Committee had led troops to block the gate.

This made the king of Dali startled and angry. He thought that these people were going to kill him, so he used his own head to ask the Song people for credit.

In desperation, he led his hundreds of guards and killed them from the gate.

At the beginning, the few ministers at the door did not expect the king to attack suddenly, and were hacked and killed by the king of Dali without any preparation.

The rest of the ministers saw that even if they didn't fight, the king came over with a knife, so they shouted: "The king is crazy and wants to kill us. If you don't fight back, you will die!"

The scene immediately became chaotic. All the ministers who came here to surround the king called on the generals and soldiers they had brought to fight, and they fought with the king and several hundred people.

When Zhang Jiangong led the army to the outside of the capital of Dali, he saw the gate of the capital of Dali opened wide, and a group of Dali officials were covered in blood, holding the head of the lord of Dali, waiting for him.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiangong immediately understood that Dali at this time had already belonged to the territory of the Song Dynasty.
