The Nanhai Guards' actions to quell the chaos were very swift.
According to the report from Shaanxi, the purpose of Nanhaiwei's trip was to Yan'an Prefecture in Shaanxi. However, after leaving Beijing, Nanhaiwei and his troops traveled all day and night to the vicinity of Taiyuan Prefecture and stopped.
In fact, even here in Shanxi, banditry occurs frequently. If it weren't for the fact that the decree clearly stated that it was to quell the civil unrest in Shaanxi, Nanhaiwei's resistance to Taiyuan would actually have reached the war zone.
However, Jiang Wan did not plan to go directly to Xi'an Mansion. Instead, he planned to rest in Taiyuan Mansion for a while, and then go directly to Yan'an Mansion. The news that Nanhai Guards were reinforcements sent from Beijing should have reached San Francisco long ago.
In the hands of Border Governor Yang He.
And Yang He is from the "recruitment" faction.
Nanhaiwei did not send out its entire army, but merely pieced together a force of one thousand households, including one hundred households from the Firearms Battalion and three other three thousand households, each drawing three elites from one hundred households to form the expedition team.
Jiang Wan meant "actual combat training". No matter how he looked at it, the so-called "civilian chaos" was just a group of victims. The refugees were causing chaos. They didn't even have the weapons. When fighting against such an opponent, apart from practicing, victory would be meaningless.
suspenseful.
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The five thousand taels of silver given by Chongzhen can't actually do much at all. As for raising food and grass, besides leaving this kind of matter to the local government, Nanhaiwei also has to make preparations on its own.
The reason for the civil unrest is that there has been famine in Shaanxi for several consecutive years, and the people will rebel only if they cannot survive. When entering a war zone, food is definitely the biggest problem to maintain combat effectiveness. It is also because of this that Nanhaiwei has
There was no rush out.
In Jiang Wan's heart, there is even a meaning of "round battle". If conditions permit, he really doesn't mind bringing all his troops here to see the blood.
After staying in Taiyuan for a few days, no news from Yang He came. However, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture didn't know where he knew there was such a support force, so he actually sent the news in a roundabout way, hoping that Nanhaiwei would arrive in Yan'an Prefecture as soon as possible. As for food and grass, etc.
, don’t worry about it at all, Yan’an Prefecture still supplies a little amount of military rations to the army.
Pay attention to the wording of Yan'an Prefecture. They use "big army". In the eyes of Yan'an Prefecture officials, since they are reinforcements sent directly by the court, they are naturally not small fish and shrimps. However, when Yan'an Prefecture officials see "sparse"
When a group of soldiers and horses calmly walked into the city gate of Yan'an Prefecture, all the officials from the prefect Song Gun to the officials below fell silent.
"This is less than a thousand people!" Tongzhi beside Song Gun said in a low voice: "What use are these people in our Yan'an Mansion?"
"Why doesn't it work? At least they are here. We don't have to ask our father to worship our grandma. Once the refugees besiege the city, we can go and ask for the border troops. Although the border troops are fierce, they also need money. But these Beijing guards are just right. Their combat power is incomparable."
The army on the frontier, it’s not too much to ask for money, after all, they are here to quell the chaos!”
Song Gun walked forward with a smile and talked to the commander opposite who looked too young to be ridiculous. The two of them hit it off and walked into Yan'an Mansion while talking and laughing.
Xu Caining followed Jiang Wan and was also looking at the officials on the opposite side. She had invited a special order for this trip to Beijing. For her, such an opportunity was rare, but along the way, Nanhai Weiyi
The battle did not take place, and she did not even see any trace of the enemy, which puzzled her.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Shaanxi reported to the imperial court that there was civil unrest in Shaanxi, especially in Yan'an, Suide, and Yulin. However, although we have been in a state of decline along the way, there are no signs of military rebellion!"
"Hahaha!" Song Gun laughed, looking at Jiang Wan with a slight hint of displeasure.
I'm talking to your superior, you little guy, don't you know the rules? You interrupt randomly!
Jiang Wan saw what the other party meant and smiled slightly: "Xu Qianshi is the second son of Duke Dingguo. He is training in the army for the first time. He is eager to fight, which makes Master Song laugh..."
"Oh!" Song Gun said exaggeratedly, his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Xu Caining, and his attitude became amiable.
"This little General Xu doesn't understand. The so-called civil unrest means that when there is no unrest, it is the people, and when there is unrest, it is the thieves!" He smiled: "Last month, the squires of my residence donated a batch of disaster relief funds.
Food has just been distributed, if there is still chaos at this time, it would be unreasonable!"
"So, these civil riots are just ordinary people?" Xu Caining said every day with a frown.
"There are also thieves, gangsters, people with ulterior motives, and even deserters from the army!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "The people are incited and threatened, and these people are the source of civil unrest. If these people are eliminated,
If the imperial court continues to provide relief to the victims, the so-called civil unrest will no longer be civil unrest!"
"Commander Jiang, great views!" Song Gun gave a thumbs up: "I have seen generals leading troops with such views, and Commander Jiang is definitely the first!"
After this small interlude, both parties suddenly became happy and happy.
Yan'an Prefecture had already prepared a station for Nanhai Guard. Although the station seemed a bit large and seemed a bit empty with the thousands of people stationed there, the Nanhai Guard didn't care.
Even the food issue that Jiang Wan was concerned about, Yan'an Mansion was not vague at all. Every three days, without being reminded by Nanhaiwei, the people of Yan'an Mansion delivered three days' worth of military rations to the garrison. As for the behavior of local gentry officials after entering the city,
Lao Jun, that lasted for several days.
Anyway, neither Jiang Wan nor Xu Caining could tell that there was any "civil unrest" in Yan'an Mansion!
If you don't look at the occasional groups of refugees outside the city, just looking at the Yan'an Prefecture city, it feels like there is a sense of peace and prosperity, and there is no shortage of food or supplies.
Of course, there is another possibility that the Yan'an Prefecture is trying to make a fool of themselves. Anyway, raising a force of more than a thousand soldiers and horses will only cost so much no matter how much it costs. It is hard for them to make Nanhai Net eat well and drink well.
Somewhere else.
You must know that there are other health centers in Yan'an Mansion. If they do not enjoy this kind of treatment, then when they are used next, I am afraid they may not be so willing.
Is this because the Yan'an government is placing all its bets on Nanhaiwei?
Jiang Wan was a little puzzled. Of course, he still had something even more puzzling. Nanhaiwei was stationed in Fucheng. According to the virtues of the Ming army, the whole city should be in panic. When the army arrived near the city, local officials were in dire straits.
Going into the city was the norm in Ming Dynasty.
Why are we here? He Nanhaiwei still feels like a people's soldier.
Something was wrong, absolutely wrong. Jiang Wan felt that something must have happened in Yan'an Mansion that he didn't know about, and the prefect definitely had something that he didn't tell him.
