The imperial court would definitely mobilize soldiers from Hu, Guang, Jiangxi and Zhejiang to participate in the containment. Song Mingyi didn't care much about this: as the prefect of Luzhou, his main responsibility was to protect the place. In this regard, he could say that he had already given a perfect score.

, there is no need to wait for the imperial inspection. After a while, it is certain that he will be promoted to the left and right to participate in politics. If we can make preparations for the army to go south in advance, it is not impossible to be promoted to the third level and step from the second level to the chief envoy. Huguang

He was free to worry about Zhejiang's troops, horses, and food platforms, but he was concerned about receiving reinforcements from the north.

There is no doubt that the reinforcements from Shandong will come the fastest - Qian Futai certainly does not want his uncle Li Jinglue to be trapped in Anqing. But this journey has nothing to do with him: the reinforcements will definitely go to Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture and then westward from Yingtian Prefecture to aid Anqing.

Not passing through Luzhou. What the Song and Ming Dynasties planned to take care of were the reinforcements from Henan Province, well, especially the Beijing camp! Guan Shengyun came from Henan, and the troops transferred from Henan Province were symbolic at best - if they could

Why is it such a powerful force in the battle! South Zhili is too important. In all likelihood, the Holy Emperor will mobilize three battalions to come to the rescue. If you make good preparations for this journey, you can add to the cake, and your talents and loyalty will reach Tianting.

The significance is extraordinary!

Guan Shengyun came from Guide Prefecture (Shangqiu) in Henan Province, passed through Bozhou, Yingzhou (Fuyang), Shouzhou (Shou County), and went straight to Luzhou. These places are all under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture (near Bengbu). However,

, Fengyang opened the mansion because it was the hometown of Taizu of this dynasty. In terms of wealth and strength, it was incomparable to Luzhou Anqing - if it was prosperous and prosperous, how could Taizu have started an uprising back then? Guan Shengyun avoided Tun.

Fengyang Fucheng, which has a heavy army, is also where the left-behind department of Zhongdu is located. Therefore, the area north of Fengyang Fucheng, including Suzhou, has not suffered military disasters. Fengyang also has a prefect, and it is impossible for the Song and Ming Dynasties to overstep their authority. There will definitely be a rush to deal with the army there.

It took a while, but I can cope with it no matter what, just say hello in advance.

The trouble is what they should do after leaving Fengyang Mansion.

Storytellers often start by talking about an army of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which is nonsense. The diet of the ancients was extremely lacking in protein, whether it was plant protein or animal protein, and they relied entirely on carbohydrates to provide calories.

Therefore, the food intake is astonishingly large, and the daily quota for each person is about 4 kilograms. A hundred thousand troops eat 400,000 kilograms a day - and this does not include fodder for mules and horses! In other words, let alone fighting, an army will eat in a month

Falling a mountain! Walking all the way, the distance covered is almost a thousand miles, not to mention the red land. Therefore, the troops will definitely be divided and march separately. Whether the reinforcements from the Beijing camp and Henan go through Bozhou or Yingzhou, they are all in Fengyang

The matter of the prefect, but no matter what, we can't avoid the key point - Shouzhou (today's Shouxian County).

Shouzhou is also under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture. However, Song Mingyi knew that after Guan Shengyun came, the place had become a white land. The limit of the prefect of the place was to allow the army to leave Fengyang. Therefore, if he wanted to avoid trouble,

In particular, a supply base must be established in Shouzhou in advance.

Song Mingyi was courageous and knowledgeable. On the one hand, the form was serious, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave a deep impression on the Holy Emperor and the court, but he did not care about many things. He said that he was bound to do his duty and took over the responsibility as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Another question pops up. Even if there are people and food, it would be really difficult for other people: it is not easy to build a base that can feed an army from scratch in an uninhabited land more than 200 miles away from the capital.

?

Song Mingyi was worthy of being a capable official, and he issued several orders in one go:

A: For all the refugees who volunteer to help in Shouxian County, after they return, the government will allocate wasteland for farming according to the standard of ten acres per ding. After one year, as long as the land is not abandoned, no matter how much the harvest is, the government will issue a certificate with a bright red seal.

The land deed - this formerly ownerless land belongs to you! Moreover, you will be exempted from the land tax for three years!

B: Refugees who voluntarily go to Shouxian County to help need to serve one month of hard labor. Their task is to build granaries and simple military camps. During the hard labor period, the government will provide meals.

C: Those who do not want or cannot go to Shouxian County to help but have surplus food at home (almost everyone has just received a large amount of food) can just transport the surplus food to the Shouxian Granary by themselves. After acceptance, the government will issue a receipt. With this receipt, follow the three

No land tax is required for double calculation - that is to say, assuming your annual land tax is one stone of grain, as long as you send one stone of grain to the Shouxian granary now, you will not have to pay the land tax for the next three years!

In the blink of an eye, there was a huge flow of people on the official road from Luzhou to Shouxian! Although the reinforcements were not yet known where, the advance base had begun to be built at a speed visible to the naked eye. Public security issues were not a problem either - Sun Jie Weiming

Hehe sent out about a hundred garrison soldiers who had been baptized by blood and fire and had just sharpened their skills, and brought more than two hundred defense personnel recruited by Song Mingyi to maintain order.

Song Mingyi was also a good person. When he reported these tasks, he signed the name of Fengyang Magistrate at the same time! This is a very beautiful move: the court is not a fool, and everyone can clearly see who really deserves the credit. What matters is the character and attitude!

Of course, Sun Jie was not idle. With the auxiliary troops as the backbone, he repaired the city wall of Feixi County. Although it cannot be said to be as impregnable as Luzhou Fucheng, it is enough to serve as a small fortress to defend against enemies for a while.

The outposts were located in Shucheng and Lujiang, with beacon towers. Each outpost had thirty riders: ten Sun Jie's riding ponds were equipped with twenty auxiliary soldiers or government officials who could ride horses, each with one horse, mainly for early warning -

-The beacon tower is not as simple as "lighting fire and setting off smoke when you see the enemy" as most people imagine. It can convey a lot of information: from one smoke to three smokes, the three colors of beacon smoke: white, yellow and black, the continuous characteristics (smoke)

Players will use wet blankets to cover the smoke piles according to certain rules, so that distant observers will see intermittent smoke columns), etc. When combined together, they can convey complex information such as the size of the enemy's army, the number of infantry and cavalry, siege weapons, grain and grass baggage, etc.

Sun Jie's Tangqi are very familiar with these tasks. When they encounter the enemy's small reconnaissance force, they can attack it if they can. If they can't defeat it, they can hold on. If it doesn't work, the cavalry can still run away...

Subsequently, Sun Jie led the Panshi and Huyi battalions, supported by 500 men and 500 mules and horses, and left Luzhou Prefecture to find Zhang Shisan's misfortune. Changjie Battalion and Huben Battalion stayed in Luzhou to rest and recuperate, and Xie

Defend.

As expected by Zhang Shisan, after Zhang Hu learned in the old camp in Jiujiang that Guan Shengyun had lost his army rations and returned in defeat, he just scolded the dog leader in private and gave him two thousand cannon fodder.

He received soldiers and some military resources, and suggested that he leave Tongcheng, go up the river, and go to Xingguo Prefecture in Wuchang Prefecture to guard the way back for everyone and to rest and recover.

Although he was emotionally dissatisfied, in his heart, Zhang Shisan still admired the arrangement of his adoptive father Zhang Hu. Although Guan Shengyun was defeated this time, he was unstoppable in this journey. After all, it was because Guan Shengyun went north to attract the attention of the court;

Moreover, they are friendly forces fighting side by side. With these two layers, the adoptive father can't do anything to him. Besides, these guys are really powerful in fighting. Don't look at this battle. If you want to take the opportunity to eat him in one bite, don't look at it.

, he must be the one who suffers. As long as Guan Shengyun is still alive, he cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Shisan's original plan was to let Guan Shengyun block Sun Jie's possible sneak attack for his headquarters in the Tongcheng area, even if the dog's life was lost, it would not matter. But what the adoptive father considered was the overall situation: the torrent of hundreds of thousands of horses must be carried out in one go.

Sweeping through southern Zhili, although there was no pincer attack from the north, the army had already rushed to Anqing Mansion. This small setback had no great impact on the overall situation. His troops originally had an absolute advantage, but they were defeated by Sun Jie

With such a tragedy, especially when the core guard camp was wiped out, the tribesmen would unconsciously feel fear. This kind of psychological disadvantage cannot be recovered overnight. If Sun Jie makes a sneak attack again, most of the troops may not wait for the battle.

If they will collapse, not only will they not be able to block the knife, but they will also be a hidden danger of paralyzing themselves! Moreover, objectively speaking, Guan Shengyun is indeed capable of fighting. Send the disabled troops to the rear to rest and recuperate, and on the one hand, let him resume the command of various organizational structures and reconstruction

system, and on the other hand, adjust morale: Zhang Shisan, who grew up in the military camp, knows that after reorganizing the military camp and choosing a few weak opponents for everyone to practice their courage, it won't take long for them to become a strong force again.

.

After defeating Wangjiang County, the vanguard had already occupied the stone pai, and the Anqing city walls were in sight. Zhang Shisan began to think about attacking the city.

The Zhengli Emperor Zhu Qijun (Zhuang Zong) was extremely worried.

Zhengli knew that Li Yuting was a loyal minister - his father, Emperor Yu Longbin, had specifically told him before the day: Li Yuting was quite bookish, and he was a straightforward and outspoken loyal minister who could be trusted. Although his words in the letter were somewhat foolish, he still had a sincere heart.

It's on paper. There are three reasons why he was imprisoned: First, his attack area was too wide and he offended too many people. If he was not punished, the civil servants would be unwilling to do so, openly and covertly, thus affecting the administrative operation of the empire. Second,

To blunt his edge and teach him some lessons - of course, Jin Yiwei has already been told to take good care of people, otherwise he will definitely die in prison for no reason. The most important thing is the third point: the important legacy left to himself - "

If I put him in prison and you release it and use it, how could he not shed tears of gratitude and swear to be like a dog or a horse?"

The restoration of Li Yuting did not go as expected by the late emperor, and he worked hard to repay the divine favor. However, was this loyal minister a capable minister?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

After receiving the Emperor's Sword and the Great Seal of the Four Provinces, not only did the Ministry of Revenue allocate millions of silver, but I also received a special reward of 100,000 taels of private money from internal funds. Almost two years later, bandits actually threatened Southern Zhili!

This Li Yuting was indeed loyal, risking his own life to run to Anqing to stop the thieves - however, his personal life and death were too insignificant compared to the safety of South Zhili. South Zhili was a key place related to the rise and fall of the empire, and it must be protected.

It doesn't matter if there are ten Li Yutings, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The soldiers in Huguang were not good enough. Guan Shengyun only occupied a few state capitals, but could not attack them for a long time. When Zhang's thieves came in large numbers, they only relied on risk to protect themselves and allowed them to flow down the river. At this time, they could create some harassment and containment for the thieves behind.

It was just a matter of luck that the Jiangxi soldiers were even worse, and they were easily broken through by thieves. The Yunnan-Guizhou native soldiers did not need to think about it. Water from far away could not quench their thirst nearby. Needless to say, the Zhejiang soldiers had to be mobilized, but they could only be regarded as supporting partial divisions, and the main force was needed.

To the north - Henan, which is half broken, is almost impossible to count on. What can be taken out must be enough to cope with it. In the southwestern part of Shandong Province, I heard that thieves are swarming, and I will knock down the gourd and let the gourd rise, but Qian Qianfu will definitely do his best...

Li calculated silently in his mind for a while and made up his mind: to mobilize the Beijing camp. To mobilize 50,000 soldiers from the three major battalions of the Fifth Army and the Shenji Battalion, and to instruct Governor Xuan Da to mobilize powerful troops for reinforcements!

After receiving the order, Zheng Guoping, the governor-general of Xuanda, thought for a moment and summoned Datong Commander-in-Chief Deng Changjiang. He briefly explained the mission, and Commander-in-Chief Deng took the order and went out.

Deng Changjiang understood the governor's intentions very well and was very touched by it. However, both parties had a tacit understanding and neither made it clear to each other - the reason why Deng Changjiang was sent to lead the army was not only that he could actually fight, but also had a deeper reason.

Reason: He once had a sworn brother named Lu Sixiang, and the two of them formed a fatal friendship on the battlefield against the Northern invaders.

Later, Lu Sixiang changed his name.

His current name is Guan Shengyun.
