Chapter 238 Soldiers Crossing the Yellow River
"You haven't seen the Han army, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are in charge of the long-standing chariot."
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, the Jueyu Light Cavalry urged to fight against the cloud!"
·······
Six hundred heroes sang military songs together to set off. This military song was a military song from Changbai Mansion, and it was also written by Luo Cheng, with a total of fourteen sentences. In fact, the original work was a military song from the War of Resistance against Japan in later generations. Luo Cheng liked this song very much, so he used it as a military song from Changbai Mansion.
The six hundred athletes sang in unison, with a strong momentum.
Up the city tower.
Zhang Yichen, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood there watching the army travel far away.
The three of them stood there, listening to the mighty military song, and they couldn't help but even gently beat the city wall with their fingers.
"Everyone says Luo Cheng is just a martial artist, but you can feel ashamed of this song."
Fang Xuanling nodded, "Listen to this sentence, men should be in danger, how can they let the Confucian Prize lose their lives? Luo Wulang looked down on us Confucian Prize, hahaha."
Du Ruhui said, "This sentence is not about looking down on us and other scholars. This should be a provocative word."
The three of them couldn't help but sigh.
"I hope Luo Cheng can return triumphantly, but I may not have to wait for this day." Zhang Yichen patted the railing, "I'm leaving soon, but I really can't bear to leave Zhang Qiucheng."
"The envoy is promoted, this is a happy event."
Zhangqiu has been doing major events in the past two years, and has been exposed to the court several times. However, although he has caused many troubles, he has dealt with them well every time. Especially after Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took office, this small place has attracted the attention of the court bosses.
As Zhang Yichen, who had worked in Zhangqiu for three years, the final comment was that although he had a minor fault, his merit ratio was too high, which was considered a flaw but not a shame, so he was promoted directly.
The Zhang Yichen family also took care of it, so this time he was promoted to the position of governor of Silitai as the sixth-rank Sili.
There were fourteen Sili Governors in the Great Sui Dynasty, but this Governor was different from the state governors during the reign of Emperor Wen. During the reign of Emperor Wen, the two-level system of prefectures and counties were implemented throughout the country. The governor was the chief of the state, but now the two-level system of prefectures and counties was implemented, and the first-level system of prefectures and counties has been abolished.
However, there were fourteen Sili Governors in the Dynasty of the Emperor Daye, and these fourteen governors were actually officials affiliated with Silitai and sixth-rank official positions.
In the Great Sui Dynasty, there were five provinces and six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, the twelve guards and four prefectures, and three other offices.
These three platforms are the Censorate, the Silitai and the Envoy.
When Yang Guang first succeeded to the throne, he dismissed the censor and directly entered the ban. Therefore, the Censorate became a relatively independent central full-time supervisory agency, and the Censor also changed from a solemn supervisor to a state supervisor.
The censors are in charge of picketing and impeachment.
Yang Guang also established the Evangel Station and the Sili Station as inspection agencies.
Among them, the position of the Evangelist is to serve as an envoy to comfort and indulge in labor and inquire, and to hold a polite and prosecutor. If there is an unjust prison, it will be reported to him. The chief official is the Evangelist.
The Silitai position was to inspect the capital and the capital. The chief was the Sili doctor and the deputy was the Sili. The Silitai established fourteen members of the Sili governor, responsible for branch inspections and supervising the capital, the eastern capital and county officials.
In fact, this Sili Governor was actually Yang Guang divided the local inspection officers of the local inspection since the Han and Wei dynasties into two parts, and established the Sili Governor, and the responsibility was to chastise the turbidity and promote the good, have the right to dismiss the corrupt county magistrates, report to the local officials who have made meritorious contributions, and give them incentives.
However, although the fourteen Sili governors inspected the road in separate inspections, such as the Sili governor who was specifically responsible for Henan Road, the governors patrol the places regularly every year and do not have a fixed capital.
This is actually equivalent to the central inspection team.
Fang Xuanling's father Fang Yanqian had been the governor of Sili before. This was an official with an absolute weight and noble grade, although not very high.
From the seventh-rank county magistrate to the sixth-rank county governor, this is definitely a high promotion.
"In the future, governor Zhang will visit Henan, and we will rely more on you." Du Ruhui said with a smile.
Zhang Yichen was promoted to the governor of the Si Li, and the one he was assigned to the Henan Province. When he left, the position of county magistrate was replaced by county magistrate Du Ruhui. As for county magistrate Fang Xuanling, he was also transferred to Qi County this time and served as the seventh-rank princess Qi County.
The three of them watched Luo Cheng leaving, and they all knew that if Luo Cheng had not stirred up the water in the pool in the past two years, they would not have had such great political achievements as they are now. It can be said that the three of them were promoted to Luo Cheng for some of their contributions.
Luo Cheng rode all the way around, leaving Zhang Qiucheng behind from afar. He knew that everyone was still watching him, and he was afraid of this concern, so he simply ran around a little.
The team headed north and headed towards the Yellow River Ferry.
Their route to the north this time was to go north directly, instead of going west along the Ji River first, and then heading north after reaching the canal. Although it is convenient to take a boat on the canal, it is winter now, and the Yellow River is frozen, and the canal to the north is even frozen, so the boat cannot go. Moreover, they brought a lot of mules and horse supplies, so they simply crossed Hebei directly.
The New Year has just passed, and there are still several months left before the arrival date of the Ministry of War. Although the arrival date has changed from July to April before, there are still nearly three months left to go on the road, so it is not very urgent.
Luo Cheng's team was very large, with six hundred soldiers, and he brought about three hundred mounts and war horses, and four hundred horses and mules. Each 200 cavalry had one war horse. No matter the infantry and cavalry, each fire ten people, he also prepared six pack horses or mules. The officers above the team had mounts, and Luo Cheng's direct team was also light cavalry.
So many people and horses, and they also carry thirty large cars.
It can be said to be vast. Fortunately, it was a marching army in the Great Sui Dynasty. Everyone only had to carry a small amount of food and grass, and the rest could be obtained from the government offices along the way.
On the first day, after walking forty miles, Luo Cheng simply ordered the camp to rest.
The next day, I walked twenty miles more and sixty miles more.
Every ten miles he walked, Luo Cheng would ask the team to stop and rectify, and he would take a rest for half an hour after walking twenty miles. Every afternoon, he would stop marching and prepare for camping.
Although they were marching within the territory, the Ministry of War also had a requirement to prohibit them from entering the city. Along the way, they could only camp in the wild. Even if there were towns and villages along the way, they were not allowed to enter the city and villages. They could only camp in the wild and could not destroy crops or other things.
Fortunately, it is winter. Although it is a bit cold in the wild, there are many camping places.
After a few days, everyone quickly got used to this marching rhythm.
Before dawn in the morning, I heard the oxen ox get up, wash and eat and feed the horses, then load the things into the car and get off. After a while, I started to choose a place to camp, cook and rest.
If there are villages and towns next to them, people will be sent to the city to purchase meat and vegetables. When encountering big cities, they will also have to go to the city to collect food and grass.
When they came out, each soldier brought nine dou of food, but after walking for many days, he was useless at all. Every time he passed by a city, he would pick up food nearby to replenish his food.
Moreover, everyone's food was pretty good, the food was pretty good, the fresh vegetables were not broken, and they often ate some fish, meat, etc. Even if it was sometimes inconvenient to purchase, there were also some bacon and sausages brought from the military mansion. When steaming the rice, it was salty and fragrant.
It took four days before Luo Cheng and his party arrived on the edge of the Yellow River, rented many boats, and took a whole day to cross the Yellow River.
After crossing the Yellow River, we entered the Hebei boundary.
On the north bank, there is Zuoguan City and Lujiaoguan on the ferry.
