Chapter 163: Pinglu Commander



After the review meeting of Yinzhou Prefecture was held, military training and troop replenishment were carried out in full swing.

Because Tian Zun was defeated in Hengshan City, he led the remaining troops to retreat to Yuzhou City, resulting in the gradual fall of various county towns in Yuzhou Prefecture into Li Jingang's territory.

Most of the civilians and defeated soldiers joined Li Jingang's army.

However, more civilians and defeated troops chose to flee to Yanzhou.

However, as soon as they entered Yanzhou, they were taken in by Dewey and sent to the coal mine in Qiwu Mountain, where they were given food and shelter and engaged in coal mining.

As the number of people in the coal mines gradually increased, the strong ones among them were selected and sent to Yinzhou for resettlement, where they were given fields, food and houses, and became the reserve military force of Yinzhou.

After the battle between Yinzhou Prefecture and Ogeduo, more than 300 soldiers were lost.

In addition, he had to form a cavalry of 300 people, so Wu Shangzhi drew a lot of elite soldiers from the entire army.

This resulted in a severe shortage of troops for a while.

Fortunately, there was a population increase from the Yanzhou Coal Mine, and the military organization of Yinzhou Prefecture was completed in a short period of time.

Currently, there are two battalions of 1,000 people under Han Zhong and Lin Feng, and 100 people from Shi Yong's unit stationed outside the city beacon tower fort, totaling 1,100 infantrymen.

The two cavalry camps of Wu Shangzhi and Huan Naxue totaled 550 people.

Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu’s scout camp consisted of forty people.

There is also Shi Gang's baggage camp, Lao Li and Lao Zhang's cooking camp, and Ma Bao's medical team.

As well as Zhao Muyun, Yinji, Li Si and other guards.

The entire army consists of 2,100 people.

With this scale, it is already a medium-sized Zhechoufu in Hedong Road.

While the army was reorganizing, Zhao Wen and Bai Ruolan also began the site selection and design of the martyrs' cemetery.

The city of Yinzhou has been almost completed, and the people have just finished their spring plowing. There are nearly two to three thousand surplus laborers who can be invested in the construction of the martyrs' cemetery.

After Zhao Muyun determined the site, the construction of the martyrs' cemetery immediately began in full swing.

Yinzhou City is still busy in April.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians licked their wounds from the recently ended war, and Yinzhou Prefecture became stronger.

......

Dededede!

Several fast horses kicked up dust and galloped from the direction of Piantou Pass.

They passed through the mulberry fields of the Zishui River Valley and arrived at the south gate of Yinzhou City. After some notification, they were welcomed into the city.

"Congratulations, Lord Zhao! Lord Pei has recommended you to the court as the Colonel of Suppressing the Tartars. You will establish a government office and command the troops of seven prefectures to fight against the Tartars!"

"Master Zhao, please accept the seal and take up your post as soon as possible."

Upon learning that it was Pei Lun, the governor of Hedong Province, who sent an envoy to convey the military order, Zhao Muyun summoned all his officers to come and receive the order.

What?

The lieutenant who pacifies the enemy, establishes a government office, and commands the troops of seven prefectures?

All of Zhao Muyun's brothers became excited.

It is said that as Zhao Muyun's status rises, so too does his position, but Zhao Muyun's status is rising too fast.

Seven months ago, Zhao Muyun was still a soldier in the beacon tower of Jingbian Army in Shuozhou Prefecture. He had just enlisted in the army from Zhaojiazhuang outside Wuzhou City in Shuozhou Prefecture.

However, four months ago, Zhao Muyun rose from a small soldier to a squad leader.

Then, because of the battle of Shuozhou, he was sent deep into the Tartar grassland to contact the Wuhuan people to attack the Zhelan royal court, capture their families and force them to retreat.

He reversed the defeat in the Shuozhou War, allowing Fan Nan to end his life with dignity, and also saved Shuozhou from being lost. He was then appointed as the commander of Yinzhou.

After only two months in charge of Yinzhou Prefecture, he defeated the invading Tartars in a single battle and even killed a Tartar in silver armor.

Then the Hedong Dao Jiedushi Pei Lun recommended Zhao Muyun as the captain of the Pinglu Army and the commander-in-chief of the seven prefectures' troops, which was actually a praise and recognition for his victory in killing the silver-armored Tartars.

You have to know that since the rise of the Northern Di over the years, this is the first time that Dayin has killed a silver-armored Tartar in battle.

It is said that after Pei Lun reported this matter to the court, the court was excited, and Emperor Yongchang even praised Zhao Muyun as the White Jade Pillar of Border Defense in front of all the civil and military officials!

He immediately agreed to appoint Zhao Muyun as the captain of the Pinglu Army, and gave him a reward of 100 taels of gold, 100 pieces of silk, and a jade belt.

“This is rising too fast!”

After hearing this, Zhao Muyun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Yinzhou Prefecture had just been established and there was a lot of work to be done. His own little piece of land had not yet been consolidated, but he was immediately appointed as a captain.

Zhao Muyun was complaining about being promoted too quickly. If people like Sun Jizong and Du Wei, who had been serving as captains for years without getting promoted, knew about this, they would probably want to kill themselves with a piece of tofu!

Zhao Muyun, who was just on equal footing with them, suddenly became their immediate superior. Who wouldn't be jealous and upset?

The envoy learned that the appointment of this captain was approved by Emperor Yongchang himself, so Zhao Muyun naturally would not refuse or disobey the order.

The seven commanders of the Pinglu Commandery were actually from the four states of Yinzhou, Shuozhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, and the three states of Feng, Sheng, and Yun that were still occupied by the Tartars.

Zhao Muyun asked without hesitation, "Is it that the war in Weizhou is getting tight for Master Pei?"

"this..."

The messenger showed an embarrassment on his face. "I am just a messenger. I really don't know the situation in Weizhou!"

Zhao Muyun observed his expression and immediately understood: "Okay, I understand! Li Si, invite them over and treat them well."

After having the envoy entertained well, Zhao Muyun summoned all of his main generals and officials.

Now everyone knows that Zhao Muyun has been promoted again.

At this rate, if Zhao Muyun makes another great contribution, he may break the record and become the first General of the Central Army in Dayin in more than a hundred years.

You have to know that the generals who followed the founding emperor Wu to conquer the world were only given the title of general.
