Chapter 902 Unexpected visitor
The Chinese army guarded Jinan City, but he was different from the other major cities' defense methods, but instead formulated a combat policy of defending south and attacking north.
The so-called southern defense refers to sending superior troops to adopt a comprehensive defense strategy for Zhu Xieyuan's army attacking from Tai'an, mainly consuming its food and grass forces.
When facing the Northern Army with a larger number of people, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's troops were in the initiative to fight.
They sent general Liu Zhongyong to lead 30,000 elite troops to garrison on the banks of the Jishui River to confront the other side. If it weren't for the number of people on the other side of the other side, I was afraid that Liu Zhongyong would take the initiative to attack the other side.
Moreover, the Chinese army's defensive strategy was initially successful. At the beginning, the Ming army, with its absolute advantage in its troops, attacked 700,000 troops in a mighty way, which easily crushed the Chinese army.
However, after entering Jinan, he was decentralized and defended everywhere, and his troops were no longer as strong as at the beginning. Moreover, after months of fierce fighting, the soldiers were also very exhausted.
Over the past month, it has been raining all day long. This is indeed in some aspects that the Chinese army's firearms cannot be fully utilized. However, for the Ming army fighting in the field in the rain, they are extremely tired. It can be said that the soldiers are extremely tired. They are not combat-reduced, as many soldiers are exhausted, just like combat-reduced, and many soldiers are so tired that they can't walk.
Even they are in a very dangerous situation, with cold weather and lack of food and medicine. Once they are injured, they basically lose their ability to survive and they even have no chance of recovery.
Such a harsh environment caused the morale of the Ming army to decline very quickly and the combat effectiveness also decreased very quickly.
After only about a month, they lost their original ambitions. When they went south, they were full of energy and thunder.
But by now, they are at the end of their power.
Why did Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang agree to take the risk of launching an attack on Jinan? Because they also found that they could not fight a protracted war. Once the long battle was unfavorable, the teacher would easily collapse by himself.
After all, they are an army without military pay and food, and they can only rely on fighting to support the war. It would be fine if they could grab some things from the other party. Now the Chinese army is firmly in the walls and clears the fields, and they can't grab any good things, which makes them panic, and many people are scared and feel brave.
The morale of the troops was far lower than they thought, so even though they knew that forced crossing Ji River would cause heavy casualties, Hong Chengchou and others had nothing to hesitate. They sent out all the only food sounds in their hands and formed suicide squads and supervision teams, just wanting to fight to the death.
Of course, they were very disagreeable with Zhu Xieyuan. Both sides could not pee in the same pot. They did this not to support Zhu Xieyuan's army, but to make achievements for themselves. They all realized that this was probably their last chance. If they could not defeat the enemy this time and make achievements, they would probably not be able to escape death.
At that time, they could not escape death, whether in the Ming Empire or the Huaxia Empire.
The eyes of all the people in the world are all on Shandong and Jinan, Shandong. Because a battle that determines the fate of the world is breaking out here. Many people think that Jinan City is probably full of war and panic, and the people are born in dire straits.
But to many people's surprise, Jinan is very peaceful.
Accompanied by his family, Jingyun Gong entered Jinan City in a sedan. After entering the city, he saw that the people and the military and civilians were actively preparing for the war. The city tower was filled with sandbags and cannons, and was on high alert everywhere, but there was no situation where people were panic, refugees were everywhere and mourning.
The Chinese army indeed captured some people from nearby prefectures and counties into the city to prevent them from being poisoned by the enemy. So many people and refugees poured into the city, and they were all properly arranged one by one.
Those who have relatives go to join relatives, and those who have no relatives will enter the refugee camps and refugee camps arranged by the Chinese Army for temporary resettlement.
Moreover, the people in the city have entered a state of war readiness, and every family has a armored man. Once the war begins, they will join the army and help fight. Of course, these people do not need to fight, but just do some logistics for the army.
The people in the whole city were organized. Although they were overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the war, many people were very calm and calm. They believed that there should be no problem with Jinan City with the king leading a 100,000 army here.
And these people also know that if the cruel means of the government army treating the people are not good enough if they fall into the hands of the government army, they will not be able to exert any benefits. Therefore, most people are on the same mind as the Chinese army and are ready to fight to the death to resist the enemy...
When Jingyun Gong saw this scene, he sighed and said, "Hang Seng is doing pretty well!"
Hengsheng is Huang Wendong's name, and Huang Wendong is his apprentice. Jingyun Gong built a private school in his ancestral temple, which specifically sponsors the children of the clan to study and recognize words.
Wang Wendong is not a clan member and cannot study here, but this person is very diligent. When he has time, he will come to the window of the private school to listen. When he is free, he helps Master carry water and sweep the floor. So Master turned a blind eye and did not drive him away.
Jingyungong occasionally went to a private school and it was interesting to see this child. After asking, the other party answered it in a slight manner. Jingyungong felt that the child was talented, so he made an exception to let him study here and could have free meals.
It was because of this that Wang Wendong changed his life. Although he only passed the scholar exam and never passed the imperial examination, his life has undergone a huge change. It is because he is a recognized apprentice of Jingyun and has been taught by Jingyun Gong in a full range of teachings, so he has become today. He admires Jingyun Gong extremely much.
After he went south that day, the master and apprentice broke up. He was very sad. He kept sending gifts to the Wang family, but the other party refused to accept them, which made him very confused. Wang Wendong knew that if he was driven out of the wall by his master, he would be a joke from Shilin and be infamous for thousands of years.
So he kept asking the middleman to talk about the title, hoping that the master could change his mind and forgive him. When he heard someone's message that day, he was actually a master who had been living in the countryside of Dengzhou and was about to come to see him, which made him very happy.
Although Wang Wendong was busy with military affairs and had a lot of trouble every day, he heard that his master had come, so he immediately put down all his official duties and ran to the city gate to greet him.
When the master's sedan chair entered the city gate, he immediately went out, knelt in front of the sedan chair, and said loudly: "Unworthy disciple Wang Wendong, I have seen Master, and Master is in good health."
As the governor of Shandong, Wang Wendong was in charge of the government and was well-off. He was very popular among the local people. When the people on the street saw him, the dignified governor actually wore an official uniform and trotted to the city gate to greet a sedan chair, which made them discuss it.
The filial son serves Jing Yinggong's family and sister are all old acquaintances of Huang Wendong. He can't be a little happy about these old acquaintances.
A faint voice came from the sedan chair and said, "Get up."
Since Wang Wendong broke up with his master, he has always wanted to improve the relationship between the two parties. Now the master has come on his own initiative, which makes him very happy. He said: "The students have prepared a banquet in the mansion to welcome the master and ask him to move."
King Jingyun walked out and hadn't seen him for several months. His master was much older. Wang Wendong didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly went up to help him.
Jingyun said justice: "Not busy! I am here today, not to eat and drink. I want to meet Liu Yuanqiao, so you can make arrangements."
Wang Wendong did not dare to disobey at all, and he immediately said, "No problem, but the king is busy with military affairs and has a lot of trouble. If you want to see him, you must arrange time. Master will move to the mansion, take a shower and change clothes, and have a short rest, and meet again. Wouldn't it be better?"
Jingyun said justice: "The military situation is urgent, and the rescue is like putting out a fire. You cannot delay it for a moment. You cannot arrange for me. Let's go and pay your respects."
Wang Wendong is a smart man. He didn't know what the so-called master came here, so he didn't dare to rashly lead him to meet Liu Yuanqiao. If he had some brains and scolded the king on the spot, he would be unable to take the opportunity to leave. However, the teacher insisted on doing this, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Wang Wendong is the left and right arm next to Liu Yuanqiao, the most popular man. His master and apprentice asked for a meeting, and immediately alarmed Liu Yuanqiao. Liu Yuanqiao met their master and apprentice in the main hall of the Dewang Mansion Government Affairs Hall.
Liu Yuanqiao did not show off any airs or pomp, but was wearing a royal robe. He was accompanied by several followers. After several months, Liu Yuanqiao became more majestic. He walked on a dragon and tiger steps, and there was a sway of a man. Liu Yuanqiao sighed and said, "I haven't seen him for several months, Jingyun Gong has become much older."
Jingyun Gong said: "Time is like a fast horse and whip it, the sun and moon are like flowers and water. Since ancient times, no one will age. Qin Emperor and Han Wu, pursue immortality and eventually became a joke."
Liu Yuanqiao smiled and said, "It's good that the husband is here. It's just right to discuss some things with the husband. He is alone in the back hall and prepares a banquet to welcome the husband."
Although they last met, it was a disagreement, Liu Yuanqiao had always expressed great courtesy to Jingyun Gong and gave him all kinds of rewards. Now the other party came to see him on his own initiative. Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, this should be a good medicine and a good start.
Jingyun said righteously: "There is no hurry to eat. I am here to ask for an errand."
Liu Yuanqiao was overjoyed when he heard this. If this old man was willing to serve him, it would be a big wing. Liu Yuanqiao was even happier. He said, "No hurry! Let's talk about it after eating."
