0455 Morning Meeting
"Master, the briefing from the fourth master this morning." The sound of shooting the moon is clear and clear.
"Ret." Emperor Andong of Wu swallowed the dates and wiped out the breakfast he ate until near noon.
"November 11, Yuan 13 sent many civilian troops to South Vietnam;
On November 14, the people's army and the wolf army fought many times, ranging from 30 to 50 fierce fights to thousands of people. Among them, the last big battle on the 14th was 3,000 against six son-in-law Shen Tugou Dingxibu and 2,000. The result of the battle was that the two sides ended in a draw;
On the same day, the Qinglong Supervision and Guard of the Holy See attacked Ruixi City, and the imperial guards were outnumbered, waiting for help, and did not retreat;
On the 17th, Wu Shaozu, the third son-in-law, and An Yinger, the third princess, sent troops to help Ruixi. The Qinglong army was defeated and retreated from Yuanzhou;
On the 18th, the fourth brother An Zixuan gathered all the departments of the Ruidi wolves and attacked the Yuan people's army.
The report is over."
"I know." Wuhuang Andongye wiped his lips and smiled, "After cleaning up Yuan 13th, our An family can finally pass the New Year."
The defeat of the three murderers of the Yuan family has become a foregone conclusion. With the imperial wolves, it is difficult for the civilian army to do whatever they want in the land of Ruizhou.
Whether it is the guard army of Cai Jingzhong and Duan Mulei, the general of Ruibei, who started from the civil unrest, or the folk army of Wu Shaozu, the governor of Ruidi, it is obviously not the mob gathered by Prince Rui Wang Lei. It was compiled by the instructors of the fourth brother An Zixuan's northern camp. It has been changed and well trained. The momentum of wolves and lions is not the same as the fighting power and style of the old days.
On November 18 of the second year of the imperial dynasty, Wu Shaozu, the third son-in-law of the empire, and Shen, the sixth son-in-law, fought against 20,000 militiamen of the Yuan family.
The smallness of the battlefield is obviously not conducive to the deployment of wolves and the imperial cavalry from the flank.
The temporary advantage of the wolf army is not enough, because this military advantage may be reversed by the civilian army at any time.
The two imperial son-in-laws who led the team could see this clearly.
How's it going? Six son-in-law. Wu Shaozu, the third emperor's son-in-law, looked at the confrontational civilian army in front of him.
"These soldiers under the Yuan brothers are not easy to line up. Obviously, they are well trained. Yuan 13 is not simple. The battlefield in front of us is obviously a battlefield pre-selected by Yuan 13th, which can limit our tactics to the greatest extent. It's good for them and bad for me. We are afraid that we will suffer losses in the battlefield selected by the other party in advance. The current step is to gradually retreat and separate from the civilian army. Shen, a son-in-law, said with a smile.
Wu Shaozu, the third emperor's son-in-law, shook his head and said, "We need to take a gull posture and mobilize the other party's formation before we can evacuate."
"The third brother-in-law has made a plan, which is even better." The sixth son-in-law Shen slaughtered the dog and grinned.
The drum horn roared, and it seemed that the wolves were going to launch an attack. The civilian army also waved banners and horns to prepare for war.
The wolves launched an assault formation, which seemed to rely on a little advantage in strength to fight against the civilian army.
The drums beat and the military flag surged in front of them.
Suddenly, the civilian army, which was ready to fight, stared at the wolves quickly retreating backwards. The cavalry covered behind and bypassed the river valley and disappeared in the distance in a blink of an eye.
"The wolves are indeed worthy of being the division of a hundred battles. The leading generals can see that this battlefield is not conducive to themselves. They would rather retreat than fight for a day's leisure. They are also one of the famous generals among the wolves." Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Yuan Shisan had no choice but to sigh and withdraw his troops.
The two emperor's sons-in-law found several ships quickly landing, but the fourth brother An Zixuan came to him.
The fourth master landed and first saluted the third emperor's son-in-law according to the royal etiquette. The sixth emperor's son-in-law met the fourth brother again. An Zixuan asked about the situation of leaving without fighting, unconsciously shook his head and thought to himself: "It seems that the plan to attack the Yuan people's army cannot be realized for the time being."
The fourth brother An Zixuan has been thinking about how to take over the few counties occupied by the Holy See and the Dingxi Army, and send all of them to the emperor's own people. In addition, how to stop the influx of the civilian army into the land again due to lack of food is also a question that needs to be considered.
In fact, if you want to fight the civilian army, the fourth master believes that the wolves can have the upper hand with the help of territorial advantage.
However, how difficult the future is, if you consume your strength needlessly to fight the civilian army, you can only get a false reputation and have no real profit. Fourth brother An Zixuan thinks it is not worth it.
The reason why he does not want to compete with the civilian army is that he is sure that Ruizhou, where the civilian army has an absolute advantage in the wolf pack, will certainly not survive for a long time.
On November 20, the civilian army of the thirteenth brother Yuan, as expected, all withdrew from Ruidi and went to Yuanzhou to eat.
Throughout December, there was basically no major war in the empire, and the An Dynasty finally had a quiet and peaceful reunion year.
On New Year's Eve, the royal family, senior officials, vassal kings and military generals gathered together to attend the annual imperial meeting.
After the training at the beginning of the founding of the country, the mentality of every civil and military bureaucrat in the empire has calmed down a lot. In recent years, the imperial dynasty has experienced many ups and downs, twists and downs, but in the end, it can win or successfully resolve the crisis. Whether it is a victory, a tragic victory, or a compromise is reached, it has been successfully solved anyway.
At the official beginning, Wuhuang Andongye only showed one side in the Wolf Hall and ordered the regent Princess An Moran and the fourth brother An Zixuan to host the court meeting, on the pretext of accompanying the big-headed baby An Xiaoye and ran away.
On the first day of the morning meeting, each camp and government office reported their respective situation, which was equivalent to an open debriefing.
For example, the summary of military and horse drills, grain and salaries, official assessment, military reserve, etc. of each camp;
For example, the government affairs outline, financial expenses, civil taxation and other situations under the jurisdiction of the cabinet should be listed one by one.
All camps and government offices are like this, and it is still boring. Although this has a well-known meaning, it is still very helpful for those civil and military bureaucrats to understand the overall situation.
But a certain wild nature jumps away, does not like restraint, is naturally good at gambling, dares to take risks, and now has privileges in hand, so naturally can't control that much. He doesn't want to listen to what he already knows twice.
Although his current temperament has changed a lot, the country is easy to change and his nature is difficult to change, and he will still show the unrestrained side of his nature from time to time.
Wuhuang Andongye used the pretext of coaxing his baby not to attend the court meeting, but hid in the VIP room of the embassy and accompanied his old friend Prince Canglang Chenyuan to drink.
Wolf Capital Imperial City.
According to the long-standing custom of the Central Plains, it continues from New Year's Eve to the end of the month, and a month is busy around the New Year--
Before New Year's Eve, every family began to buy New Year paintings, door gods, sugar cakes, rice cakes, firecrackers, burning paper and other things for current applications;
On the first day, the royal members paid New Year's greetings to their father and mother according to the senior branch. First, the princesses and brothers in Beijing, then the Fujin and son-in-law of various prefectures, and finally the Gege and county horses of their grandchildren. Before their seniority, they inevitably had to get red envelopes. Several little Gege were blackmailed, and the little brother An Ono made a lot of money.
On January 2, the whole royal family of the An family worshipped the ancestors and the wolf god under the leadership of Emperor Wu and the queen.
On the third day, the hundred officials of the empire, led by the eight ministers of the cabinet, entered the palace to congratulate him. Emperor Wu gave him a banquet and gave him rice cakes, winter clothes and grain.
For four days, the An royal family and officials fasted for one day, banning Baile, noise, heavy makeup and knife fire;
on the fifth day, An Xiaorao, the fourth princess of the empire, and An Yixue, the eighth princess, invited envoys abroad in Beijing;
On the 6th, Princess Regent An Moran, on behalf of the royal family, gave clothes and cakes to Xu officials in Beijing Province;
On the 7th, the fourth prince An Zixuan participated in the sacrifice of the wolf group on behalf of the royal family and the retired soldiers at the banquet.
This night, An Yixue, the eighth princess who replaced the position of military and political department of An Yinger, the third princess of Ruizhou, had ordered her subordinates to peel fruits, wash rice, wash utensils, and prepare to stop and cook porridge. The iron pot used to make porridge is extremely large, with a diameter of 1.2 feet, a pot of 20 stones of rice, 100 catties of dried fruits, and 100 pots of boiling. I don't know how many coal and firewood are used to cook porridge. It is operated all night long. In addition to worshiping spirits and offerings to God, it is to give away robes and friends.
As the main host of the high priest, the fourth brother An Zixuan has appeared in the Wolf God Cathedral.
The church is dedicated to the divine position of many wolves and soldiers who died in the war. In the hazy lights of the lantern, the fourth brother An Zixuan led the two royal palaces. Accompanied by the eighth princess An Yixue, he turned to the fragrant kitchen to see the cooking of the porridge.
"Is the porridge ready?" Fourth brother An Zixuan asked.
"Fourth brother, please rest assured that not only the porridge is ready, but also salted pork, spicy cabbage, pickled radishes, etc." Eight Princess An Yixue answered as she walked.
Because this is the first time to worship the god of war after the founding of the empire. In addition to these Robe brothers placed in the "Wolf City", many local officials and gentry will come to watch the ceremony. Naturally, this kind of hospitality cannot be sloppy, and the fourth master always needs to ask.
I looked at it before and after, and I was satisfied with the preparation of the sacrifice. The fourth master just thought that there should be no mistakes.
For the warriors who were born and died, all they want now is to remember the iron-blooded years in peace, and then continue to live peacefully. It is more important than anything else to have a good mood at such a memorial party.
For such a party, local people in the imperial capital, whether it is Haoqiang, Jinshen, celebrities, agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, still attach great importance to it, but their mood is also very complicated.
Although some of the famous emperors don't look up to these brave warriors in their hearts, although they are a little dissatisfied with the current situation of the martial arts, and although they have such complaints about a certain field in Guandong, how can their arms be twisted over their thighs? No matter how much dissatisfaction, contempt, and how many annoying words there are, they will still come to the scene to watch the ceremony.
