Valley Emperor

After accepting the surrender, the seven thousand Ming army cavalry began a large-scale reorganization, but this reorganization was not directly adapted from the establishment of the Tang army cavalry, because the tactics of the Tang army cavalry and the Ming army cavalry were completely different. Different tactics bring about differences in training.

​​

Differences in training and tactics bring about differences in organization!

​​

These 7,000 Ming cavalrymen are typical eastern traditional cavalry and archers. Forcing them to reorganize them in the way of the Tang cavalry may be counterproductive.

​​

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Datang Army did not reorganize the 7,000 cavalry according to the organization of the Datang cavalry, but retained their basic tactical organization.

​​

Then seven cavalry regiments were reorganized, and each regiment was a thousand cavalry!

​​

Then, among the seven cavalry regiments, there were three cavalry regiments that were in relatively good condition. The cavalrymen in these three cavalry regiments were all selected, and then these three cavalry regiments were directly incorporated into the third cavalry detachment. The third cavalry detachment led by Lu Yuzhi expanded the number of cavalry to 5,000 cavalry.

​​

The remaining four cavalry regiments were divided into two parts, organized into the fifth cavalry detachment and the sixth cavalry detachment.

​​

In principle, the chief officers of the above-mentioned seven cavalry regiments are all former generals of the Ming army who surrendered, but the adjutants and chiefs of staff are all officers of the Tang army.

​​

In addition, it is also very important that, with the refinement of the reorganization, the platoon leaders and captains in these cavalry regiments are the officers who were recruited by the Tang Army.

​​

Li Xuan spent such a huge price, and also agreed to let these Ming army descendants continue to lead troops, but it is definitely not without any precautions. The descended generals of the middle and senior Ming army can stay in office, and they can also continue to hold the position of the head of the regiment. However, for these cavalry regiments after the reorganization, their grass-roots officers must be sent by the Datang Army.

​​

Most of the original Ming Army low-level officers were sent to the martial arts school to study. After they finished their studies, they were sent to serve, and it was definitely not these cavalry regiments.

​​

Although many senior cavalry generals of the Ming Army after the surrender were quite critical of this, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that they had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so now they can only be people with their tails between their tails, pretending to be invisible The Tang Dynasty divided their subordinates to win over them.

​​

The reorganized seven cavalry regiments are very different in organization and tactics from the original cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, but this does not affect their return to the battlefield!

​​

In order to prevent any accident from happening, these cavalrymen of the Ming army who surrendered after surrender, in addition to the three cavalry regiments that were incorporated into the third cavalry detachment went to Youzhou to fight with the main force of the third army, the fifth cavalry detachment was dispatched Arrived in Henan, and cooperated with the Fourth Army to fight.

​​

The Fourth Army has very few cavalry. Although the Fourth Cavalry Detachment has the name of a detachment, it is actually only 600 cavalry. The addition of the Fifth Cavalry Detachment can greatly reduce the weakness of the Fourth Army in cavalry.

​​

As for the fifth cavalry detachment, it was first directly administered by the Privy Council, and now it is acting together with the Guards.

​​

During this time, the cavalry generals of the Datang Army also made continuous efforts to win over and divide, trying to completely annex this cavalry force and turn them into a part of the Datang Army cavalry.

​​

With the addition of the 7,000 Ming cavalry, the Datang Army had the weakness of having few cavalry, but it was a considerable increase.

​​

In the northern provinces, the original cavalry of the Datang Army plus the 7,000 Ming Army cavalry, the total number of cavalry has exceeded 10,000, and the Datang Army also captured many Tatar horses before, in order to use These war horses, the Datang Army is now training cavalry recruits like crazy in the rear, and even those new cavalrymen who are not very skilled in riding and have relatively average tactical ability are all recruited.

​​

Using this batch of captured warhorses, the Datang Army is expected to be able to add more than 5,000 cavalry!

​​

In this way, in fact, the cavalry power of the Tang Army in the northern provinces is not too bad. At least at present, apart from the nomadic tribes on the grasslands, other forces have not as many cavalry as the Tang Army.

​​

The Tang army's field ability was originally strong, but now that a large number of cavalry have joined, the field ability is even stronger. Emperor Shaowu in Youzhou City and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid either. Naturally, they know that if they go out of the city, they will definitely It's a dead end.

​​

As for defending the city?

​​

For Emperor Shaowu and many others, it was also a dead end, because no one would think that they could defend Youzhou!

​​

but!

​​

For some people, there is a way to stay in Youzhou!

​​

For example, those officials!

​​

The attitude of the civil officials and military generals in Youzhou City is very subtle. On the one hand, they continue to fight for power and profit in the court, especially for the control of the only 20,000 Ming troops in the city.

​​

But on the other hand, no one has seriously set up the city defense. Until now, no one has even seriously recruited and trained young people. The many spare weapons in the warehouse are still in the warehouse.

​​

In the imperial city, after the first few days of the excitement of Emperor Shaowu's enthronement as emperor, the whole person was already unknown to the changed ministers. At first, he was frightened, then angry, and then helpless. These two God, Emperor Shaowu summoned his ministers every day, but it was useless to summon them.

​​

Some people even resigned at such a critical moment!

​​

The concubines in the palace are also panicking. They have begun to discover these days that many eunuchs and palace maids have begun to secretly escape from the imperial city. When escaping, they did not forget to steal a few treasures. Yes, no one cares about this kind of thing.

​​

Now everyone knows that the building will collapse, everyone is for themselves, who has time to take care of others!

​​

According to the news, the main force of the bandit army has already arrived outside the city of Youzhou. There are more than 20,000 troops, and the bandit general who leads the army is Hao Bainian. In this case, it is impossible for the city to remain in chaos. .

​​

This evening, on the top of Youzhou City, a group of Ming soldiers who were guarding the city gate suddenly shouted, and they all started to wear armor, swords and spears in a panic. Looking out, I saw a few hundred meters away from the city, a Datang cavalry in dark blue military uniforms roared!

​​

The number of this cavalry is not large, only more than 100 cavalry. In the Tang Dynasty, this is the formation of the cavalry team. These cavalry should also be the regular cavalry of the Datang Army, equipped with muskets and standard new army. , the formation is quite dense!

​​

However, these cavalrymen did not rush directly towards the city wall, but stopped about 300 meters away, and then a cavalryman broke out of the queue and rode over, and it could be seen that he was still holding a bow and arrow!

​​

Holding bows and arrows is a rare thing for the regular cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, because the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were not equipped with bows and arrows, and the ones equipped with bows and arrows were seven thousand surrendered Ming cavalrymen.

​​

This cavalry galloped wildly, and when it was dozens of meters away from the city wall, it began to bend its bow and shoot arrows!

​​

However, the Ming army soldiers on the top of the city did not shoot at this Tang army cavalry, because they had already seen that this cavalry could not come to attack the city, but to deliver letters!

​​

Sure enough, when the arrow shot to the top of the city was picked up, they could see a letter tied to it. Naturally, the ordinary soldiers guarding the city wouldn't read it, and they couldn't read it if they wanted to. They didn't recognize it. Character.

​​

They soon handed the letter to a thousand households at the top of the city.

​​

After the thousand households were taken over, they opened it up, and sure enough, as expected, it was a letter of persuasion to surrender.

​​

The content of persuasion to surrender need not be elaborated. It is nothing more than threats and inducements to make the defenders in the city surrender. In this way, hello, hello, everyone. As long as you surrender, Hao Bainian guarantees that you will definitely give the main defending generals a good treatment. Ordinary soldiers can also do it. To save his life, if he has meritorious deeds, he can even personally ask the Holy Monarch of Eternity for merit for this person.

​​

If you don't surrender, then don't blame him for being rude, Hao Bainian. At that time, ten thousand guns will be fired, and tens of thousands of troops will be out, waiting for the city to break down.

​​

This letter did not stay in the hands of this thousand households for long. It was soon handed over to the superior, and then passed on upwards. When the night came, it was passed to the hands of the important officials of the court.

​​

The wise officials in the court, looking at the letter of persuasion to surrender, which threatens and lures, are also unable to argue!

​​

Why can't we argue? Naturally, it was because someone wanted to offer the city to surrender, and the reason was very fair. For the sake of the people of the city, if they did not surrender, the thieves outside the city would come in, and if the whole city was slaughtered, everyone present would be slaughtered. is the sinner.

​​

And some people naturally disagree. They want to resist until the last moment. At the end of each dynasty, there will always be foolish and loyal people. The difference is only a matter of how much.

​​

However, more people have an ambiguous attitude. It is not impossible to surrender, but how do you surrender, and what happens to the officials after surrendering? What good can they get? What's going on with the royal family?

​​

These are what they care about. Now Hao Bainian just said that they should surrender, but how to surrender is debatable!

​​

However, their quarrel was a quarrel, but they agreed on one of the issues, that is, the matter of the letter of persuasion to surrender, so don't let the emperor know about it!

​​

Those who want to surrender~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those who want favorable conditions to surrender, needless to say, are definitely not willing to let Emperor Shaowu know.

​​

And those courtiers who want to resist to the end also know that it is better not to let the emperor know about this joint. Otherwise, in desperation, I am afraid to do something irrational, which will affect the overall situation even worse. .

​​

At this time, Emperor Shaowu in the deep palace did not know that his courtiers, those who taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, how to be a monarch, are now quarreling over a letter of persuasion!

​​

This night, countless people in Youzhou City stayed up all night!

​​

Because following a letter of persuasion to surrender, in the darkness of night, a series of big plays were staged one after another!
