"The officers and soldiers of each battalion followed my instructions and took turns to go to the city to guard the city. How many horses are there in the city? They were all mobilized and set up cavalry to garrison the four cities. If one door was rescued, he immediately reported to the envoys by flying cavalry, and the officer immediately divided his troops to rescue;
Rolling logs and stones were distributed in the four cities. Every hundred steps under the city wall, a large urn was buried to listen for the movements of the Yan army to prevent rats from the Yan army from stealing the holes!"
Governor Sheng Yong issued the orders one by one in an orderly manner, and the generals from all walks of life followed the orders one after another.
On the streets of Jinan, Tie Xuan led a team of Yamen officials from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen who were patrolling. Looking at the situation in the city, they also issued orders: "Check the grain storage in the city, set up porridge sheds in the four cities to provide relief to the refugees; please ask this government
The squires presided over the meeting and called on large households to donate grain to help the people; the weather was about to get hot, and if one were not careful, so many people would be plagued by plague. It was necessary to set up a refugee resettlement place in an open and spacious place, and recruit Chinese medicine merchants, pharmacies, and doctors in the city.
, prepare medicinal soup to prevent the plague and distribute it to the people..."
Tie Xuan stopped at an intersection and looked at the alleys. They were crowded with refugees and were used as their temporary residences. If they wanted to pass by, they couldn't even put their feet in. Tie Xuan frowned and ordered:
"Mobilize manpower and clean up the streets."
A government servant next to him said with a bitter face: "Sir, there are so many people pouring into the city all at once, and we simply can't take care of them with our limited manpower."
Tie Xuan thought for a while and said: "My chief envoy, Si Yamen, will come forward to recruit young people from the people who fled into the city and set up a patrol team to maintain the security of Jinan Prefecture to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to rob and commit lawlessness."
Recruit some people from the refugees, set up a cleaning team, and clear the streets. We must ensure that the main streets are not occupied by ordinary people as residences, otherwise, the mobilization of soldiers and horses and the transportation of ordnance will become problems."
"yes!"
Tie Xuan looked up at the sky and sighed: "Fortunately, the weather has entered May, otherwise... these people would have froze to death on the streets." He thought for a while, and then said: "However, when the weather gets hot, there will be hot weather.
The problem arises. There are so many people living on the streets and they are not very obedient. They litter and defecate everywhere. It is inevitable. If this continues, Jinan City will stink in less than three days. The cleaning team
I have to take responsibility for this."
"yes!"
Tie Xuan inspected the city of Jinan for a long time, and his officials had already counted the amount of grain stored in the city and reported it. Compared with Dezhou, Jinan was in the rear area, and a large amount of military grain had been transported to Dezhou. However, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Dezhou actually broke through the city overnight, hundreds of
Tens of thousands of tons of military rations were all occupied by the Yan army. Jinan City has experienced another winter and has just entered spring and summer. The grains this autumn are not yet mature. The grain stocks in the city are extremely limited. Fortunately, the hundreds of carts of grains and rice that Tie Xuan escorted to Texas were taken by him.
After bringing it back, the treasury was slightly full, but if the King of Yan refused to retreat and instead besieged the city, this food would last for at most one and a half months.
Upon hearing the news, Tie Xuan became nervous and hurried to report the news to the governor Sheng Yong. After hearing this, Sheng Yong also looked heavy. After a long time, he said: "Since King Yan raised his army, he rarely made any attack. He attacked Datong.
, he also left as soon as he touched the ground. According to my opinion, he may attack Jinan, but if he can't attack for a few times, it may not lead to a long-term stalemate. Furthermore, the imperial court will always send troops to relieve the siege."
Although there is nothing wrong with what Sheng Yong said, he is now the highest military leader in the city. To defend Jinan, he must either rely on reinforcements from the imperial court or the King of Yan to take the initiative to retreat. This seems a bit discouraged. When it comes to defending the city,
, dispatching troops and generals, Tie Xuan is a civilian official, far inferior to him, but after all, Tie Xuan has been a judicial officer in the military for a period, a bit like a political cadre, but he knows how serious the consequences will be if a military commander cannot strengthen his confidence.
.
Seeing that Sheng Yong was not confident, he couldn't help but raised his voice and said: "Captain Sheng, why do you need to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" Defend a city and defend the world, with thousands of soldiers who can be killed, and fight with millions of troops.
Covering the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, suppressing their power. Who is responsible for the immortality of the world? 'Tie Xuan is willing to join the generals in following the example of Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty and die in the city in order to repay the country!"
In fact, it's no wonder that Sheng Yong had these concerns. Geng Bingwen, Wu Jie, Guo Jie, Li Jinglong... were all officials with much higher military positions than him, and commanded more troops than him, but they were all defeated by King Yan.
Zhu Di's hand, he certainly didn't have much confidence in himself, but seeing Tie Xuan, a civil servant in the Chief Envoy's Department, speak such heroic words, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and said hurriedly and solemnly: "Master Tie said, no matter what
The enemy is strong and the enemy is weak, we will defend Jinan to the death to repay the country!"
Tie Xuan happily said: "Okay! With the words of Governor Sheng, our civil and military forces in Jinan are of one heart and one mind, and it is difficult for Yan Ni to get an advantage. Tie Xuan is willing to make a bloody alliance with the general. If the people are in the city, the city will be destroyed!"
Sheng Yong had never shouldered such a heavy responsibility before, so he felt uneasy. He was aroused by Tie Xuan's words, and he immediately asked someone to fetch a big bowl, filled it with strong wine, and the two of them drank their own blood.
We formed an alliance and vowed to defend Jinan together.
It can be said that this Sheng Yong was born in the army, led troops and horses for a long time, mobilized troops and commanded the city defense, and was indeed outstanding in all aspects. In history, he was actually the most important person in defending Jinan. Later generations over exaggerated Tie Xuan's ability and role.
Well, Tie Xuan was only a member of the Chief Envoy's office at that time and was involved in politics. It was not his turn to take charge of Jinan's city defense. What's more, the use of troops to defend the city was not something that a layman could be proficient in.
Historically, the main general who defended Jinan was actually Sheng Yong. He defended Jinan for three months and forced King Zhu Di of Yan to retreat. Sheng Yong was the first to take credit, but Tie Xuan also contributed greatly to his suggestions, especially his two ideas.
, one is the 'god card', and the other is the 'false surrender plan', which is very shining and is talked about by future generations. His greatest contribution lies in logistical support and inspiring people, and his role is similar to that of a political commissar.
However, the defense of Jinan for several months mainly relied on regular fighting, commanding, dispatching and deploying city defenses. This was Sheng Yong's business. However, the Jingnan battle lasted for four years, and Sheng Yong was defeated and surrendered later. This became his business.
It was a stain and inconsistent with Confucian values, so his previous contributions were wiped out. After hundreds of years of publicity, it seemed that all the officials who guarded Jinan were puppets, and only Tie Xuan participated in politics and presided over Jinan's defense.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The city of Jinan was overcrowded, with people fleeing everywhere, and groups of officers and soldiers coming and going in a hurry. Xia Xun was among the people fleeing, walking slowly on the streets of Jinan.
The city gate had been closed. At that time, three adults, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and Gao Wei, were standing at the top of the city. Seeing that the Yan army was about to rush into the city following the fleeing people, they had no choice but to make a decisive decision and ordered to fire arrows.
A dense rain of arrows came down, killing all the fleeing people and the Yan army charging ahead, and then the city gate was forcibly closed.
The people who were blocked from the door had no choice but to go their separate ways and flee to other states and counties.
Li Jinglong was defeated again.
He hurriedly mobilized more than 100,000 troops to stop on the spot, and wanted to form a dense formation to face the Yan army's cavalry. However, the more than 100,000 troops had just arrived here, and in his haste, they did not have time to form several formations, but only faintly formed a flying geese.
Formation, the Yan army's cavalry has arrived.
This is the Duoyan Three Guards. They are led by Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan, and Qiu Fu, the leader of the forward battalion. Although they only have three to four thousand men, they took advantage of the chaos in the opponent's formation to forcefully break into the enemy's formation. Taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry, You
You move to the east, and you attack to the west. Suddenly, you go all the way to the center of the army. Before you can react, you attack the right side diagonally. Suddenly, the cavalry in one line divides into two lines and cuts the two wings straight.
This kind of fighting method is impossible for an army that has not yet set up a formation to carry out a quick and effective resistance. Li Jinglong is not a person with the ability to coordinate. With an army of more than 100,000, it seems to be chasing an endless stream.
A large group of sheep were bitten and slaughtered by a few ferocious wild wolves.
Li Jinglong saw that the situation was not good, and the ambition he had just surged suddenly disappeared. He immediately took out the most frequently used general order when he personally commanded the battle: "Retreat!"
Li Jinglong withdrew to the south. It looked like he had no intention of coming back. He would have to cross the Yellow River and escape back to Nanjing.
Xia Xun was imprisoned in the city.
He chased the carriage that seemed to be carrying Xie Yufei, because everyone was crowded forward, and the carriages and horses that kept rushing up pushed him further and further out. In desperation, Xia Xun simply jumped off the horse and got in a carriage.
Cars, cattle, sheep, and pedestrians squeezed past each other to get closer to the big car.
When he was about to catch up with the cart, the Ming army, under the command of the pig-like commander Li Jinglong, was already defeated. Li Jinglong, who was fighting in a hurry and was defeated in a hurry, fled for his life. The army dispersed and went their separate ways.
Led by two powerful generals, Zhu Gaoxu and Qiu Fu, the Yan army's iron cavalry, who were eager to fight, rushed directly towards the city gate, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and occupy the city gate.
On the city tower, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and other civil and military officials saw that the situation was not good and immediately ordered the city to be closed. However, the people swarmed into the city and the city gate could not be closed. In desperation, they ordered to fire arrows. The arrows were like a pouring rain. In front of the city gate,
The dead and wounded lay on the pillow, and blood flowed like a river, and the city gate was closed.
Xia Xun was under the city at that time. When there was a rain of arrows from the city, Xia Xun knew something was wrong. He immediately got into the bottom of an ox cart in front, and quickly shot toward the city amidst the frightening sound of arrows hitting the carriage board.
He crawled forward, but... he rushed into the city at the last moment before the city gate closed.
After all, war is war. Either you die or I live. It is not a child's play, and you must not be merciful. Xia Xun, who escaped from the hands of death, is still frightened when he thinks of the thrill just now.
When he calmed down, he found that... the carriage had disappeared. The city was full of people in a mess. God knows where the carriage went. The only thing that was certain was that the carriage must have entered.
city.
Is that a thank you in that car? How did she get here? In such a chaotic place, she has a daughter who is young and beautiful. What if...
Xia Xun felt a chill in his heart at first, and then he woke up and realized that since Xie Yufei had arrived, Peng Ziqi must also be by her side, so he felt a little at ease.
But now there are more than a million people in Jinan City. Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Xia Xun can only search along the long street...
