The Duan Xianbei organizational management form of the Duan family was continued with the conference of the alliance of tribe leaders as the highest authority, but now it has become a family management model decided by the Presbyterian Church and the patriarch is responsible for implementing it. The patriarch does not have absolute power.
Duan Shiheng decided to marry a maid with a low status as his wife. His father, as the head of the Duan family, expelled him from the family in anger. However, after a resolution, the Elders recognized his outstanding talents and soon invited him back to the Duan family and helped him to the high position of deputy head, becoming the unscrupulous heir of the head of the Duan family.
In addition, the Duan family's own education system and the relationship between the region, it is not affected by the characteristics of the people of the Central Plains. The courage and tenacity of the Duan family when they are in battle are beyond the reach of ordinary officials and soldiers.
Interestingly, all the Duan family soldiers were from the Anxi area of Liaoxi. They were classified as the Liao people by the court. They should have been included in the Xuanliao Army by the region. However, Emperor Millennium was quite suspicious of the Duan family army and was unwilling to incorporate such a self-contained noble armed force into his direct iron army. Therefore, they were incorporated into the ordinary official army and never paid much attention to it. With the unbeaten record of the Duan family army and the tenacious spirit of the Xuanliao Army, Duan Shiheng and his generals were very slow to promote. This is also a typical example of the unification of the emperors of all dynasties that could not tolerate the outstanding armed forces of the other branches of the great nobles.
When Zhan Tianying carefully read Duan’s military’s previous combat records, an inconspicuous small battle aroused his strong interest.
That was when Duan Shiheng led his army to fight against the Jurchen army in the Chenzhou Fort area of Hunhe River. The official army camps that were deployed along the Hunhe River to form a long snake formation to deploy defense were not dangerous. They could not resist the unstoppable fierce attack of the Jurchen cavalry and dispersed one after another. Only the camps of the Mengzhou army and the Duan family army were unbreakable. Although they suffered heavy casualties and were surrounded by the Jurchen army, they still stood firm on the original position on the north bank of the Hunhe River waiting for assistance.
At that time, the head coach of the Mengzhou army had both died heroically, and Duan Shiheng had to take over the command temporarily. Then Liang Hongyu led a female army to arrive in time. The Mengzhou army then had a backbone again. After she led the army to regain the bodies of her husband and son, she fought side by side with the Duan family army to ensure that the two armies were not captured by the Jurchen army. However, more than a month later, they had run out of arrows and food, which was exactly the same as the crisis situation faced by the Liang Duan group in the late stage of the Huaian Battle.
Duan Shiheng had to send many more than 30 teams out to raise food on the spot late at night. One of the teams returned to the blockade line of the Jurchen army with the raised food and grass. In the field, they were not enemies of the Jurchen heavy iron cavalry at all, but they were not dispersed like ordinary official infantry squads when they encountered such a critical situation. Then they were chased by the Iron Cavalry one by one. None of them fell behind, and they formed a close formation to fight against the Jurchen Iron Cavalry. In the end, except for the two who were seriously injured, the rest were killed.
It was already dark at that time. The Jurchen Knights checked the seriously injured number and missed them when they made up for a blow. Then they rode their horses and roared away.
The two seriously injured people who were crushed by their dead comrades have lost their ability to move alone. They are lying on the vast snowy field outside the border in the severe winter, with the biting cold wind. Usually, they will soon die of excessive blood loss or be frozen to death.
But they tried their best to climb towards each other, hugged each other tightly to keep warm, and bandaged the fatal wounds for each other with the remaining little strength. Then they snuggled together and crawled into the Duan Family Army camp little by little, because they could not stop for a moment, otherwise they would soon be frozen to death. About an hour later, they met a comrade who was going out for search and rescue. When they returned to the camp, Duan Shiheng personally welcomed the gate and stayed by the bed where the two were recovering from the wounded. They mustered up the courage to survive, and finally survived miraculously
Seeing this, even Zhan Tianying, whose heart is as hard as stone, his eyes can't help but become a little wet. What a loyal soldier, and what a commander who loves soldiers like his sons!
This is the characteristic of family armed forces, no wonder Duan’s army is so cohesive, as if it were an iron plate!
Then, Liaodong general Li Tianwei personally led tens of thousands of new forces to reinforce, and worked together with the Mengzhou army and Duan family army that were defending to the end, and fought bravely.
Sharwen, who was attacked on both sides, saw that there was no profit, so he led his army back to the south bank of Hunhe River and quit the war. The military existence of the Millennium Empire on the front line of Hunhe River in Liaodong, which was approaching the old village, was extended for nearly ten years.
The two soldiers who returned to the team who recovered from injury performed outstandingly in their subsequent battles and have been promoted to Duan Family Army Captain!
As an outstanding leader, he saw from this small encounter and the legendary experience of these two soldiers that the Duan family soldiers were like father and son, with absolute trust, mutual dependence and intimate relationship, and the resulting terrible cohesion.
The reason why he is called terrible is that the Duan family army has been like this in all wars. Close cooperation runs through each unit and every soldier. This spirit of unity and cooperation not only comes from the daily training of the troops, but also an instinct accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by generations of Duan family children under the repeated influence of special family precepts. They can always burst out amazing power at the critical moment of life and death. This is also the key factor that Duan family army can always persevere until the last moment.
His army was very loyal, brave and tenacious when he went to fight to kill the enemy, but he knew very well that this was based on the fanatical worship of him by the soldiers of the entire army. The worship of the soldiers was obtained after he was carefully planned by the military admiration of him. This loyalty and worship were very blind and lacked deep foundation, so it could not last. It was just because once this shocking scam was exposed by a master, his army would immediately become a mess of messy sand and slaughtered by others!
This has always been a problem he was very worried about, or it should be the most fatal weakness of his army so far. However, just as Liang Hongyu was helpless with the serious defect of the poor morale of the official army under his command, Zhan Tianying also had no choice but to cover it up with the fatal injuries that bothered him day and night.
Therefore, Duan Jiajun, a powerful cohesion made by the family for hundreds of years and with a profound foundation, is the noble quality that his army urgently needs but generally lacks.
This is the huge difference between the civilian army under his command and the noble elite troops like Duan Family Army, and it is also the main reason why he admires Duan Shiheng so much.
So he would not punish Duan Shiheng for Duan Xiáng's fault, nor would he dismantle Duan's army, just because if he did that, this army would lose the reason why they became the soul and strong cohesion of Duan's army, and he would also lose a good example of an unbeaten army and the entire army.
As for the suspicion of some senior aides about Duan Family Army, he thought it was unnecessary. If he didn't even have this little bit of stomach, what's the difference between him and the Millennium Emperor?
He could not have founded the Yunzhong Empire, and his army would not have grown rapidly to such a level
Moreover, he secretly thought that even if Duan Shiheng really had the intention to rebel in the future, with the absolute loyalty of the Duan family children who were planted in various units of the Shuozhou Army, he would have a large number of internal supporters everywhere in the Shuozhou Army. How terrible it would be?
After making the above in-depth investigation, Zhan Tianying became increasingly convinced that as long as the Duan family army takes action, they will definitely be able to take over the crucial strategic fortress of Feihu Xing!
However, before he could order Duan Shiheng, who was stationed in Guangling, to lead his army to set off and launch a new round of fiercer offensives towards Feihuxing Fortress, he keenly noticed a series of abnormal movements from the Rakshasa Sect. He had to pay attention to this. After all, his base area was unstable, so how could he dare to easily attack the core area of the Millennium Dynasty?
His reaction was to mobilize some troops to deal with it, especially in key areas where the interests of the Rakshasa Sect are fiercely contested, especially in key areas where the interests of the Rakshasa Sect are very fierce.
Zhan Hailiang, the Xuande army, who was outstanding in the battle of Huaian, led his troops back to Yinzhou Prefecture, to curb the expansion of the night fog and frost at the Guanzhong branch of the Luoshamen; he was almost wiped out on the banks of the Sanggan River. Later, the Shuozhou army, Maitengze, who had failed to make any achievements in Feihu Xing, led his army back to Taiyuan Prefecture, mainly focusing on dealing with the landlord armed forces under Ai Long, Feihong Villa.
The focus of the two sides is mainly reflected in winning the support of the people. As the Zhantianying army becomes larger and larger, it gradually becomes a bit uneven. Small troops roaming around often do some activities to fight and rob houses. This is also the common feature of the rebel army in all dynasties. Although Zhantianying explicitly prohibits it, it cannot stop this bad atmosphere.
Therefore, for the Rakshasa Gate Red Flag and the White Flag, in addition to trying to find enemies to take back their respective industries, they also have to use force to protect their traditional sphere of influence and various interests.
After several slightly large-scale conflicts, although Ye Wushuang and Ai Long's two village brave soldiers had a large number of people, their training time and intensity were insufficient, and their combat effectiveness was limited. Naturally, they could not do anything to the heroic and combative troops of Zhan Hailiang and Maiteng. However, because of the strong Luosha flag soldiers as their backing, the village brave soldiers suffered a great loss. The two banner owners asked their wives for permission and mobilized some of the flag soldiers to participate in the conflict. Zhan Hailiang and Maiteng could not defeat them.
Up to now, both Rakshasa Queen and Zhan Tianying are afraid of being a slut and are unwilling to give it a try. This is a great game between the comprehensive interests of both sides, not a decisive battle.
The reason is very simple. Both of them did not regard each other as their main opponents, but they had some hindering their respective strategic goals. This was precisely because of the clever arrangement of the eldest princess.
Zhan Tianying was originally a martial arts master in the Yunzhong. He was born in a turbulent world. After the uprising, his rebel army joined many bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings, and many idle vagrants from all over the country who did not work and were idle. The personnel composition determines its predatory nature and is also the need to support this army of hundreds of thousands.
The rural brave armed forces of the Rakshasa Sect mainly rented the land of the Jurchen families under the Rakshasa flag soldiers to engage in animal husbandry or farming. Wuyue met a simple and kind old farmer and husband near Yinxiao Heights three years ago, and this is the case. As long as he is hardworking and rented enough land, he raises some livestock, he can not only ensure food and clothing, but also have some extra money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
Duan Shiheng decided to marry a maid with a low status as his wife. His father, as the head of the Duan family, expelled him from the family in anger. However, after a resolution, the Elders recognized his outstanding talents and soon invited him back to the Duan family and helped him to the high position of deputy head, becoming the unscrupulous heir of the head of the Duan family.
