Chapter 369: Reorganizing the Troops and No War
"The Heavenly Demon Sect's Qinggong is indeed unique! With this kind of body movement and speed, it is difficult for other sects' martial artists, even those who have reached the Great Perfection of the King Cultivator Realm, to compare with it!"
Qin Cheng looked at Wen Jiangli who was quickly going away and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Wen Jiangli came alone and left alone, treating the Liu family as his own. Although this made the Liu family feel deeply embarrassed, there was nothing they could do about it!
Although Wen Jiangli had rarely been around in the world in recent years and had almost disappeared, Qin Cheng still knew a little about his deeds:
Among the ten great martial arts sects in the empire, the Demonic Sect may not be ranked first, but it is definitely in the top three!
There are numerous factions and branches within the sect, but they all obey the orders of the sect leader!
Under the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect are the five great Heavenly Demon Envoys: southeast, northwest, northeast, southwest and center!
And this Wen Jiangli is the Northern Envoy of the Heavenly Demon, and he had already entered the realm of a Cultivator 20 years ago! At that time, he was only in his thirties!
But now it seems that even if he has not entered the realm of King Cultivation, he has at least reached the Great Perfection realm of Lord Cultivation.
More importantly, the Demonic Sect's secret techniques are known for their ability to kill, and their combat power is inherently stronger than that of people of the same level from other sects.
This may be the reason why he dared to come to the Liu family alone.
However, compared to the reappearance of Wen Jiangli who had been in seclusion for twenty years, Gu Xijie's enthronement as emperor was the most shocking thing!
He didn't leak any information before!
It is not surprising that he might become emperor and compete with Gu Huairen for the orthodox position! Many people have already expected this, including the Liu family father and son!
But the fact that he chose this time to become emperor so quickly still surprised the Liu father and son.
Especially Liu Feiyun, he always believed that if the princes wanted to secede and Gu Xijie wanted to compete with Gu Huairen, they had to suppress the riots first!
In another time and space, the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and the rise of many heroes only began after the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed.
But in this strange world, some people obviously can’t wait any longer!
Today, the civil unrest is still getting more and more intense. After the fire in the east is put out, it will break out again in the west. After the fire in the south is put out, it will break out again in the north. The imperial court officials and troops are trying to put out the fires everywhere, but the fire does not seem to be weakened at all.
But now, within just less than half a month, first the two states of Jin and Liao openly declared themselves kings and rebelled against the Great Chen Dynasty, and then Gu Xijie proclaimed himself emperor!
This chaos is coming too quickly!
The party was disrupted, but some things still need to be done!
After sending away the injured warriors, the Liu family father and son began to arrange the military reorganization of Anya County.
The first thing is to rebuild the county division, which is naturally based on the direct troops of the Liu family, and supplemented by elite troops drawn from the remnants of the local militia in various county governments.
The entire division will be restored to full strength, with one cavalry brigade and four infantry brigades! Together with the direct battalions, there are about 20,000 people!
And their weapons and armor will be fully equipped, and they will become the main force of Anya's army.
In addition, the militia of each county and prefecture must also expand its troops, with a total of eight brigades in seven counties and one prefecture, with each brigade ranging from two to three thousand people, totaling more than 20,000 people.
Finally, the Liu family's private army was expanded to two brigades with 3,000 people.
Eventually, the Anya Army in Anping County will expand to 45,000 people, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians will reach one to ten. It can be said that every citizen will be a soldier!
This is the troubled times!
Of course, all of this is just data on paper. It will take some time for these troops to be truly organized and form combat effectiveness.
Therefore, in the following period of time, the entire Anping County entered a period of large-scale military training and did not take the initiative to attack.
At the same time, the Jinzhou Army was busy digesting the occupied areas and constantly dispatching reinforcements from Jinzhou, and did not launch a large-scale offensive.
For a time, there was no war in Anya County!
But outside Anya County, many people were increasingly unable to understand the situation.
Ever since Gu Xijie proclaimed himself emperor in Chuandu of Shuzhou, nearly a thousand of the three thousand county governments of the empire have responded. Most of them are the territories and spheres of influence of the nobles in various places!
At least 90% of the nobles in the original territory chose to support Gu Xijie. This made Gu Huairen, who lived in Tiandu Changluo, furious.
He immediately launched a counterattack in public opinion:
He announced the abolition of all territories and noble status of the nobles who betrayed him, and all their slaves were pardoned as civilians, allowing them to arm themselves for self-defense!
As for the nobles who supported him, he would increase the number of households they controlled and expand their territory.
The meaning is just one: I want to abolish slavery and reduce the power of the feudal lords, but I don’t want to abolish all the slaves and all the feudal lords. It depends on whether you support me and follow me!
