Chapter 404 Military Prostitutes
After Li Jingbing stationed in Xiguan in Tai, he did not send troops to pursue Shatuo's remaining soldiers, and allowed them to retreat to Daizhou. He just sent multiple scouts to Daizhou, Xinzhou and Taiyuan to inquire about information and keep abreast of the movements of all parties at any time. // High-speed update//
The Zhendong Army was resting in Taixi Pass, with 5,000 troops stationed at Taixi Pass, and Li Jing stationed 1,000 troops to Lingqiu, Feihu, Dingbian City, and Zhigu Pass. In addition, a thousand troops were dispatched to guard the Feihu Xing passage connecting to Yizhou, Hebei, on the west side of Taihang Mountain.
For the remaining 10,000 troops, Li Jing still just asked them to continue to implement the three-light policy in Weizhou.
In Lingqiu, Feihu and Dingbian, Li Jing gathered the people he captured. The Hu people of the Shatuo tribe, the Khitan and Xi people were escorted directly to Youzhou along the way, and then transported them back to southern Liaoning from the sea. And those Han people, Li Jing asked them to concentrate among the three cities and opened several temporary workshops. After slaughtering all the cattle, sheep and other items, they made the meat into cans, made the skin and nitrate, and collected the tendons and horns.
After the grain, beef and mutton were processed, they were directly used as military rations for the army and were exempted from transporting them from southern Dengzhou to Jinzhong. The weapons, materials, etc., such as gold, silver, money, and silk, were transported back to Dengzhou together.
Li Jing even organized many people waiting to be sent back to southern Liaoning and organized them to start mining.
To put it in the words of Li Jing's senior management in Taixi City, the war is about logistics and resources. Since it has arrived in Datong, it is impossible for them to occupy this Dianbei, so just take it away. Take away all the things that can be taken away. Anyway, they will not plunder, and the rest of the court officers and soldiers will not let go when they come in the future.
He liked Caesar's words very much, I come, I see you, I conquer!
"The Three Lights Operation in Weizhou has been almost done. In addition to the population that fled into the grassland and Yunshuo Dai, the people who can be copied and taken away have basically been cleared. Several large mines are also working day and night. Now, are we going to take the next action?" Guo Chengan asked.
Li Jing sat there with his chin pinched his chin, listening carefully to various reports.
After listening to it, Li Jing thought for a while, and asked Li Wei: "What's the movement in Taiyuan, Youzhou and Tiande Army?"
"Good news!" Li Wei smiled and said, "The good news that I just received was that Yu Gong of the Tiande Army led the Tiande Army and the Helian troops of Tuyuhun to rush for 400 miles after taking Huyan Pass, and successfully attacked the Shanyu Protectorate, the old nest of Li Guochang, the Zhenwu Army. I heard that the Tiande Army was almost bloodless this time, and directly captured the city under the help of the Zhenwu Army officers in the city. Yu Gong is worthy of being the teacher of the county duke. Since sending troops, he has taken two cities in a row with just two letters and taken Li Guochang's nest directly."
The other generals laughed relaxedly. During this period, since everyone entered Jin, they had almost never fought wars. Each unit took turns to plunder. Although the plunder was bound by various rules and was not very happy, the final gain would not be missing from everyone, whether it was the general or the soldiers. Every time there was a big gain, Li Jing would give out a portion of the reward to the entire army.
Apart from staying outside the border, it’s getting colder and colder, everyone misses home, and the rest are pretty good.
"The general copied Li Keyong's backyard, and Yu Gong copied Li Guochang's old nest. Zheng's army gathered in Taiyuan and confronted Li Keyong for a long time, but failed. However, the two side troops of the county master and apprentice made great contributions together. Now, Li Keyong's backyard caught fire and see how they deal with it." Li Zhen laughed.
Li Jing was also very happy with the Tiande Army's good news. It can be said that with this good news, the situation in Daibei will have a huge change. From now on, the recruitment of troops will shift from passive defense to the active offensive stage.
But the more you are at this time, the less you shouldn't be careless.
Although Li Keyong and his son caught fire in the backyard, the main force in their hands did not lose any loss. At this time, if anyone was blinded by the false appearance of victory and wanted to seize the merits, then he would be in trouble.
In short, this pioneer Li Jing doesn't plan to do it.
"At present, the seven towns of the court are in the fight, and Li Guochang has not been in control of the Zhenwu Army for a long time. Now that the family division is taking advantage of its emptiness, the officers of the Zhenwu Army must also carefully consider their retreat. Judging from the current situation, Li Guochang is still trapped in Youzhou and cannot come back for a while. When he returns, the cities of the Zhenwu Army will inevitably be captured by the family division Yu Gong. At that time, not to mention Li Guochang's counterattack, even he himself may be betrayed by the Zhenwu officers."
"Therefore, the key is Li Keyong. Li Keyong is called Feihuzi. According to my observation, although Li Keyong is young and very rebellious, he is even more cruel than Li Guochang when fighting. If Taiyuan thinks that Shatuo people are easy to deal with, then they might suffer a big loss. In the current situation, I plan to ignore them for the time being and let them fight first. Let us turn around and defeat Yunzhou first."
After hearing Li Jing's thoughts, the generals did not object. No one was urging him, and who would like to go to Shatuo to fight for his life. Li Cunxiao's four generals were a lesson from the past. Their 800 people snatched Taixiu from more than 5,000 Shatuo people and killed 3,000 enemies. But the final result was that even if they were disciples of the county duke, they not only did not have any rewards, but also became a big soldier. Not only that, each of them was imprisoned for ten days and received a hundred military sticks. In Li Jing's words, if they had not recited them, they would have to directly follow the military law and beheaded the four people.
Now they are huddled in the northern rear of this generation. Not only do they not have to fight hard, they can also grab money, grain and women. Although they are not their own, they can also reward a lot of them every time. Since the war in Dengzhou, the soldiers of the Zhendong Army have saved a lot of money.
Now it’s okay to eat all day long. Apart from taking turns to go out, the soldiers who only trained in the army are a little bored. Because it’s wartime, even if it’s training, the amount of training is not large, and you have to maintain combat effectiveness at all times. Therefore, it’s okay to only train for half a day a day and then go to class at night.
"Monday, many officials and soldiers below proposed to open a camp prostitute, saying that these bastards were full of energy and thought about lust. Now that they have money and time, they can't help but have some random thoughts. Often, the women among the looted people got involved with them, and even made them bigger. This matter..."
Under the Tang army, when the army went to war or was stationed outside, there were often military prostitutes in the camp. The Zhendong Army had no before, but later there were more troops, especially because the soldiers had a lot of money and food, and after they had a few money in their hands, many people took their ideas to attack these soldiers. In Dengzhou, those prostitutes often appeared near the barracks and deliberately lured soldiers. Many soldiers were trained and often looked for those prostitutes, which eventually led to the appearance of prostitutes everywhere around the Zhendong Army's barracks. Finally, a simple prostitute street was built, and even some vicious struggles were triggered.
In the end, Zhang Hong couldn't stand it and said that the money was made available to the prostitutes. He yelled to open a military prostitute camp.
After careful consideration, Li Jing finally agreed. The soldiers were in a long-term training and couldn't help but feel depressed and needed to guide them to vent. Women are sometimes the best venting channel. This is also the case after every war. Rape is even more ordinary than robbery.
The Zhendong Army did not allow rape and looting to happen, and Li Jing could not block the prostitutes in this camp.
Finally, there were still camp prostitutes in the Zhendong Army. In each case, there was a prostitute camp, with about dozens or hundreds of prostitutes. These prostitutes were young and healthy, and Li Jing also made many regulations on these military prostitutes. For example, soldiers could not go out to find pheasants in the future. They could only obtain the number of times they went to the prostitute camp by level.
Not only do prostitutes have regular physical examinations, but they also need to be militarized. The number of soldiers and officers receiving them is fixed every day, which is more than the days when they are not suitable for them, and they can rest. In addition, soldiers cannot beat or abuse them. They also receive commissions based on performance. If you do more money, you are actually much more secure than outside.
Now that the soldiers are on the expedition, Li Jing was not willing to take the logistics battalion and other places at the beginning, so he would not be willing to take the prostitute in the camp. However, now the soldiers have no tasks and have long left home, and they have both free time and money. They can't help but feel full and warm and lustful.
The current situation outside the military camps is just like when Zhendong Army was in Dengzhou, and some prostitutes spontaneously formed. Some were even organized by soldiers and officers behind.
"From those prostitutes or barbarian slaves, a group of voluntarily organized into prostitute camps, which are uniformly managed by the military headquarters. All rules are organized according to the old rules, and one prostitute camp is set to one hundred. However, it is a war period and is outside. Therefore, no matter whether it is officers or soldiers, everyone can only go to prostitute camps when they are enjoying a respite. It is stipulated that each person can only go to three times at most. In addition, you should also pay attention to regular inspections and not cause any diseases." Li Jing is now able to accept many things in this era.
There were many prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that there were tens of thousands of prostitutes in Pingkangfang in Chang'an. There were many kinds of official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, family prostitutes, and even singing geniuses. Going to brothels and looking for prostitutes was as common as later generations to sing a k.
The military prostitute camp was quickly established, and finally four ordinary military prostitute camps were organized, one for each. There was also a senior prostitute camp, which was open to middle and senior officers. The prostitutes inside were somewhat similar to those that were singing and dancing rather than relying on flesh and blood. The five prostitute camps had 500 prostitutes, and Li Jing had a special requirement for these prostitutes, that is, to perform some singing and dancing to the soldiers in his spare time, which was also considered a condolence performance.
After the five prostitutes were built, they held a grand round of condolences before opening, and conducted a tour of the soldiers at various garrisons. The soldiers below reacted enthusiastically. After the opening, business was booming. After the private camps were attacked by joint forces by military police and Yuhou, they were immediately forced to close.
Li Jing took out part of the money and grain robbed by Sanguang to reward the soldiers. The soldiers spent the money like water, but in a blink of an eye, a large part passed through the prostitute camp, and a small part flowed back to the tent of Zhendong Army.
On the first day of November, after the Zhendong Army had completely shined the entire Weizhou, the troops began to fight in Yunzhou.
After Li Jing left the general Wang Chong to lead 5,000 elite troops to stay at Taixiguan on the border of Wei Dai, he personally led 15,000 troops to turn around and go north again, crossed the Sanggan River directly, and pulled out the Qingsai Army and Tiancheng Army on the northern border of Weizhou and Yunzhou with thunder. The 1,000 troops left behind in the two cities were wiped out, and the Zhendong Army was slightly injured.
On the fifth day of November, Li Jing led the town's eastern army to officially enter Yunzhou from the Qing ramp on the northern border of Yunzhou, Weizhou.
After entering Yunzhou, a thousand troops rushed straight to Yunzhou. Qinglu Road and Yinshan Road were both important routes for sending troops. This is the main route connecting Yunzhou to Weizhou and directly to Youzhou, Hebei. Only sixty miles away from Yunzhou City, Niupi Pass guards this route.
After Li Jing's troops arrived, the Shatuo guard in Yunzhou was Li Keyong's commander Fu Wenda. Since Li Jing entered Daibei, he has been guarding against Li Jing. He saw that Li Jing had been staying in Weizhou and seized the Taixi Pass between Weizhou and Daizhou, and he was relieved, thinking that Li Jing was going to Daizhou directly and heading south to Taiyuan. However, unexpectedly, Li Jing suddenly changed his head and headed straight for Yunzhou.
At the moment, he was extremely miserable, so he had to transfer the troops in Yunzhou, recruited young and strong auxiliary troops, and requested reinforcements from the Tatars' tribe at the foot of Yinshan in the north of Yunzhou.
Fu Wenda's subordinates barely gathered up five thousand soldiers and horses, leaving one thousand guards to guard Yunzhou, and another thousand guards Yunzhong guards and captured him. He led three thousand soldiers into Qinglu Niupi Pass to defend. Niupi Pass, Yunzhou, Yunzhong captured three cities in three, forming a horn force, trying to defend to the death, resist Li Jing, and wait for the arrival of the Tatars reinforcements.
While actively defending, Fu Wenda also came to the support of the three governors of Shatuo, Zhu Haiwan, Sage Governor, Shi Jingcuntun, and Shatuo Governor, Li Youjin, who stayed in the nest of Shatuo people in Shuozhou.
When the three generals of Shatuo heard that Li Jing's troops invaded Yunzhou, they immediately led three thousand Shatuo cavalry to help. After the troops arrived, three thousand soldiers and horses entered Niupi Guanzhong together.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the 15,000 army of Zhendong Army arrived at Niupi Pass and set up camp twenty miles below the pass. The governor of Anqing Shi Jingcun, the governor of Sage Zhu Haiwan, and the governor of Shatu Li Youjin followed Fu Wenda to the city tower to watch.
I saw that for several miles of the camp, the white camp tent gathered together, like a huge white cloud. Outside the camp, you could occasionally see teams of the East Zhen Army cavalry traveling back and forth, extremely fierce.
Shi Jingcun looked at it while being shocked. He had been in the border for a long time, and only looked at the tent, he could see the opponent's ability. The tent of the tent of the East Army in the Zhendong Army was so powerful. Moreover, the soldiers who watched them were extremely majestic. Although they had 6,000 troops in the Cowhide Guan, they were hard to resist.
