On the eastern border of the Far East Empire, the battle between the United Kingdom supported by the empire and the Hanhai army is in full swing, and the war has spread to Fuzhou, Gwangju and other places.
In the territory of Yunzhong Province, the fierce tiger unit that Fatty Lu was ordered to form is also intensively training.
In the northern border area of ??the empire, the cavalry commanded by Brigud supported by the empire was fighting against the Great Khan of the Golden Horde.
Under the concerted efforts of officials at all levels, the various provinces in the hinterland of the empire are undergoing earth-shaking changes every day.
In the western border area of ??the empire, after several months of fierce fighting, the army under the command of Li Changqing, the head of the Security Corps, finally defeated the former Zhenxi Army and the coalition forces composed of barbarians. A large-scale pursuit operation is underway.
After the establishment of the Far East Empire, some remnants of the previous dynasty also fled to the border areas, and joined hands with local bandits to try to overthrow the Far East Empire.
Especially in the western border area with high mountains and dense forests, because it is far away from the core of the empire's rule, and the local Qinghe Army's strength is weak, it has become an area where rebellious activities are relatively rampant.
When Chen Ziang became emperor, many prefectures and counties in the western region had been captured by rebels.
These rebels committed all kinds of crimes, burning, killing and looting, and what they did aroused the wrath of the imperial emperor Chen Ziang.
In order to suppress these rebellions and restore the law and order in the western border provinces, Chen Ziang also decided to suppress them with thunder.
?He selected Li Changqing, the second-class Duke of the State, as the head of the security army, and commanded the newly reorganized ten security banner regiments to the western border to quell the chaos.
Li Changqing, the young hero of the empire, also lived up to Chen Ziang's expectations. After he led his troops to the western provinces, he immediately launched a vigorous operation to quell the chaos.
Many security banner regiments are adapted from field troops, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not weak.
And although there were many fierce soldiers and barbarians of the Zhenxi Army in those rebels from the previous dynasty, they were full of hills inside, lacking a unified call, and they were like scattered sand.
Under the command of General Xiao, the ten security banner regiments split up and attacked together. In just a few months, the large-scale bandits in the western provinces were wiped out, and as many as 100,000 people were captured.
Of course, the 100,000 captives were requisitioned by Li Changqing on the spot, and they were all detained to build a road from the western provinces to the imperial capital.
In addition to the beheaded bandits and more than 100,000 people captured, a large number of bandits fled into the mountains and dense forests, waiting for opportunities.
In order to get rid of these gangsters once and for all and prevent them from making a comeback, Li Changqing, the head of the Security Corps, personally commanded the town and launched a large-scale pursuit and annihilation operation.
Among them, the first, second, and third flag regiments of law and order were ordered to go to Nanchuan Province and Lingnan Province, under the command of the newly appointed deputy head of the army, Han Tao, to be responsible for the local pursuit and suppression operations.
The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Banner Regiments of Public Security, commanded by Li Tiechui, the deputy head of the army, entered Beichuan Province to chase down the fleeing bandits.
The 7th and 8th Banner Regiments of Public Security under the command of Deputy Army Commander Guo Wei crossed the border of the western provinces, entered the area where the barbarians were active, and chased and wiped out the bandits.
? Nanchuan Province, Beichuan Province, and Lingnan Province are all traditionally ruled areas of the imperial court, and prefectures, counties and towns have been established, so it is easy to wipe out the fleeing bandits.
However, the pursuit of bandits in the area where the barbarians were active was the most difficult of the several armies.
Most of the barbarians' activity areas are alpine mountainous areas, and their distribution range is extremely wide.
? At the beginning, the former dynasty set up the Zhenxi Army to guard the western border area, mainly guarding against the barbarians.
The barbarians are tough and good at fighting. They often harass the western border, loot supplies and rob people, which is a serious problem on the western border.
However, because the barbarians' living areas are spread too widely and the weather conditions are extremely harsh, the previous dynasty had no way to deal with the barbarians.
The result is that the imperial court must station a strong army on the western border to guard the security of the western border.
However, since the tense battles in the previous dynasty, the main force of the Zhenxi Army stationed on the western border has been transferred to the interior to fight, and it has been almost exhausted in battles.
In the western border area, as the main force of the Zhenxi Army was transferred away, the barbarians continued to encroach on the border area of ??the western provinces and captured many towns. The sphere of influence has further expanded to the western part of the western province.
The remnants of the Houzhenxi Army had to withdraw to the old nest of the Western Province to recuperate, hoping to make a comeback.
However, in the face of the menacing barbarians, the Zhenxi Army, whose strength was severely damaged, fought against them several times and failed.The defeat ended, so after the defeat, the remnants of the Zhenxi Army had to join forces with the local bandits, give up fighting the barbarians, and hope to advance eastward.
Because they couldn't fight the barbarians in the west, they could only fight in the east, hoping to get a foothold from the Qinghe army.
However, their siege and plundering naturally angered the Qinghe army, so Chen Ziang appointed Li Changqing to lead a heavy army to suppress it.
The remnants of the Zhenxi Army and the coalition forces of bandits were once again defeated by Li Changqing. They had to seek refuge with the barbarians in the hope of gaining a shelter.
The barbarians felt that the remnants of the Zhenxi Army had some use, so they also reorganized them.
The Qinghe army advanced all the way west to recover the towns occupied by the barbarians.
The Qinghe army was an elite in all battles. Although the barbarians were fierce, they were still defeated in several battles and were forced to retreat to their traditional sphere of influence.
However, Li Changqing, the heroic general of the empire, also realized through a series of wars that if the problem of the remnants of the Zhenxi Army and the barbarians was not completely resolved, the western border would never be peaceful.
Therefore, Li Changqing, the head of the Security Corps, decided to send troops deep into the traditional residential area of ??the barbarians to wipe out the Zhenxi army and the remnants of the bandits, and at the same time deal with the serious trouble of the barbarians.
I have to say that Li Changqing is extremely bold, because there were many talented and strategic people in the previous dynasty who wanted to deal with the barbarians in the western border area once and for all, but they all ended in failure.
However, Li Changqing is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He decided to take a risk and completely conquer the barbarians to solve this big problem on the border.
Of course, there is also a little selfishness of Li Changqing in this, that is, he wants to make more military exploits.
? In the canonization ceremony for the establishment of the Far East Empire, Li Changqing's qualifications and military achievements were still insignificant, and he only won a second-class title of Duke.
For Li Changqing, if he can make some more military exploits, it would be the best to be named a first-class Duke.
This time I lead my troops to suppress the rebellion in the western border area, and I have countless elite soldiers under my command, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the trend to suppress the barbarians.
If he could wipe out the barbarians in one fell swoop and take over their land, that would be a great achievement, enough to make him a first-class duke and a first-class minister of power in the empire.
Of course, Li Changqing didn't dare to tell others about this idea. He ordered Guo Wei, the deputy commander of the army, to enter the barbarian's territory, and it was only under the banner of chasing down the bandits.
Of course, Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, naturally guessed some of Li Changqing's thoughts, so they also subdued the local barbarians if they could, and slaughtered those who could not!
Guo Wei, deputy head of the army, went deep into the barbarian territory for a hundred miles, fought ten times with the barbarians, won ten battles and ten victories, and beheaded more than 30,000 people. It can be said that he won a complete victory.
However, the deputy head of the army, Guo Wei, didn't want to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. Instead, he continued to fight in the depths of the barbarians, wanting to take the entire barbarian territory back to the empire. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
