Chapter 366: Raising Gu in the North
Li Jize's large naval force was finally dispatched, and now it was heading towards Goryeo in a mighty force.
So……
Will the barbarian focus on his ex-wife Wang Yuanya as he planned, and ignore Goryeo behind him?
This is the answer! It can be said to be yes and no.
Yes! That’s because after entering the customs, they didn’t pay any attention to Goryeo, okay?
What could there be to worry about in this rear area? Hadn't Li Jize let him take advantage of the opportunity and plundered them once before?
As for the fact that all the attention is focused on Wang Yuanya?
Totally impossible!
Now is the late period of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the Great Qi was indeed defeated by a peasant uprising. After the barbarians came in, a foreigner wanted to rule, and he must have anticipated that the people of Qi would revolt.
Here we have to talk about the "genius" Bochijin, who invented a brand new set of tactics.
After Li Jize used the navy to cut off the entire Qingzhou's retreat from the rear, he completely besieged the 50,000 soldiers. Finally, he ordered Babutai to break out...
Only more than 20,000 people escaped. How close is Qingzhou to the royal capital?
The main force of the barbarians was pinned down by that bastard Lao San, pinning them to the front line of the rebellion. What should he do now? If the Qin army really attacked, he was really afraid that he would not be able to withstand it, but if he wanted to mobilize troops, there were no troops to mobilize!
If I raise a new army myself, there won’t be enough time and money!
What should we do if we have no money and no soldiers?
A living person will never die from holding his urine!
If you don't have these two, then just provide policies and let others help you raise your troops!
So, Bo Chijin very cleverly came up with an idea, which was...
Allow local private recruitment!
Wow! Good guy, you are worthy of being the sixth one.
Even when the empress was about to lose her country, she did not dare to implement this policy, but it was actually implemented by Bochijin.
What do you mean?
During Li Jize's period, it was the last "militia" system!
He allowed local areas to recruit soldiers on their own to fight against Li Jize and the rebels. As a result, warlords were everywhere in Da Qi!
The empress was afraid that the Great Qi would be thrown into chaos, and that she would no longer be the emperor. But the barbarians were not afraid. The more chaos, the better. The more chaos, the more they could maintain their advantage in entering the pass.
Of course! Bo Chijin was not so foolish as to let the Qi people take control of the army and then come to deal with him.
He stipulated that although local governments could recruit soldiers privately, the highest local military commander must be a barbarian.
Regardless of whether this rule is reasonable or not, and regardless of the fight between the barbarians and Li Jize, these aristocratic families were extremely happy after receiving this news.
The aristocratic families! All they could do was monopolize education and ensure that the officials in the court were their own people.
However, they could never possess military power! Because the power of a noble family was already terrifying, and when they also had their own army...
What are the consequences of that?
I am afraid that the entire Chinese land will be plunged into chaos and war again.
The empress doesn't have the courage to do such a thing, but the barbarians do, they dare!
Because of this, in fact, in the entire northern land, what the barbarians lack the least now is soldiers!
Even if these guys are just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers and trash, they are just like bandits! After experiencing the continuous elimination of war, the scum will always be eliminated, and those who remain must be the elite.
Because of this, when Bochijin heard Babutai say that a peasant uprising had actually broken out in the Jingchu area and that the number of these guys might even have reached 100,000, he was not panicked at all.
Just issue an imperial decree, ordering all the troops from all over the place to gather in the Jingchu area, and then Babutai will be in charge of the unified command and let him go to suppress the bandits.
You have to admire that Bochijin's command is really awesome. He is worthy of being the son of this era. He can play out all the routines you can think of and those you can't think of.
If it were someone else in Bochijin's position, they would have collapsed long ago when encountering these difficulties.
But they managed to bring forward a system that only appeared in later generations, and liberated the power of the gentry in the entire north.
The gentry and landlords now kowtowed to him. After the barbarians came in, not only did they guarantee their status and family wealth remained unchanged, but they even relaxed the restrictions and gave them the right to recruit soldiers.
Where can I find such a living Bodhisattva?
So when Bochijin wanted to mobilize their troops to quell the rebellion caused by Wang Yuanya, this group of people did not hesitate at all and sent their troops there openly.
Only by constantly fighting can a strong army be trained!
It is also only through constant fighting that this group of people can find opportunities, opportunities to satisfy their own ambitions.
History has proven countless times that many small figures, in the changing times of such times, after gaining control of military power, gradually conquered the world and became emperors.
The mighty army headed towards Jingchu, and near Qingzhou...
Bochijin not only did not relax at all, but instead strengthened the defense and had the army keep a close eye on the Qin army at all times.
He was obviously also afraid. What if Li Jize received this news and sent the Qin army to take advantage of the situation?
What is a "half-faced Buddha" after all? From the beginning to the end, Li Jize was the biggest threat and the strongest enemy that Bo Chijin considered.
Fortunately! Li Jize and Qin Jun didn't know if life in Qingzhou was too good, but they didn't seize such a good opportunity. It's true that they were born in hardship and died in comfort!
Because I had no territory, I fought desperately for Qingzhou. After I took Qingzhou...
These guys started to enjoy it!
Since Li Jize did not move and the Qin army did not react at all, the next things would be much simpler.
Bo Chijin could finally focus his attention on the chaos in Jingchu with peace of mind!
What is the current situation in Jingchu?
It's simply raising a poison!
If the entire north is a large-scale chaotic breeding ground, then the Jingchu area is exactly a small-scale replica. The power of the barbarian court is completely gone here!
Because there were insurgents everywhere, one after another joined the rebellion. The first thing they did was to attack the local county government office, then capture the county magistrate and kill him on the spot.
After going back and forth for a while, they couldn't even find a yamen runner. Didn't Jingchu become the base camp of the rebel army?
As the leader of these rebel armies, Wang Yuanya is now a little complacent and proud.
Good! Good! Who could have thought that one day, she, Wang Yuanya, a weak woman, would be able to do what only the Northern King and Li Jize could do?
