"... This time during the attack on Yulin South Road, I originally wanted to be the first to break through the Jingbian Guard City and capture Jingbian Guards garrison Zhang Dacheng, but I didn't expect that Yulin South Road Commander Lin Pingru and Jian'an Fort garrison Huo Chengna
One day, they happened to gather in Zhang Dacheng's garrison for a secret discussion, so I took the opportunity to kill them all..."
Five days later, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion in Huamachi Camp, He Zhang was reporting to Zhao Junchen the details of the new army's attack on Yulin South Road.
The civil and military officials of Huamachi camp were lined up on both sides, listening carefully to He Zhang's report.
As for Zhao Junchen, he was sitting quietly on the main seat, thinking about something thoughtfully.
Under the gaze of everyone, He Zhang continued to report: "This time Yulin South Road violated military orders, these people were the leaders. After arresting them, the entire Yulin South Road was leaderless, so it only took more than two days for the humble post.
We completely controlled Yulin South Road... However, although I completed my task, I still exceeded the deadline and wasted a lot of time. Please punish me, the Imperial Envoy!"
After finishing speaking, He Zhang lowered his head slightly, waiting for Zhao Junchen's decision.
Although He Zhang completed the task neatly this time, it took more than nine days, far exceeding the seven-day deadline set by Zhao Junchen. From this aspect, He Zhang can also be said to have not completed the task.
, maybe it also delayed the border fighter planes. Even if Zhao Junchen punished him for this reason, it would still be justified.
After Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "Huamachi Camp is not far from Yulin Military Town. The journey time of the new Zhan Bing Army is indeed a little longer... But considering that it takes a long time for the new Zhan Bing Army to form an army.
Short, such a situation is inevitable, so I will not punish you, but this is just this time, there will be no other example!... In addition, the soldiers of the new warrior army have made great contributions this time. This month's
The military pay is doubled, and I hope they can continue their efforts and fight the enemy bravely in future wars."
Now that the war is approaching, Zhao Junchen will naturally not punish his generals easily for such a trivial matter. What's more, the deadline set by Zhao Junchen was indeed a bit tight. To a large extent, it was just to put pressure on the new soldiers.
It's just to speed up the running-in of the soldiers' march, but it's not forced.
Hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, He Zhang showed gratitude on his face and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy. The morale of the soldiers will definitely be even higher after receiving the reward! I assure you, the Imperial Envoy, that the new soldiers will never come back again in the future."
Let the Imperial Envoy down."
Zhao Junchen nodded slightly and asked: "What is the current situation on Yulin South Road? After Lin Pingru and the others were arrested, there was no military attache to lead the area. Is the situation going to be chaotic and out of control?"
He Zhang shook his head and replied: "The situation on Yulin South Road is still stable, and there is no chaos! After arresting Lin Pingru and others in his humble position, he quickly informed Wang Yan, the commander-in-chief of Yulin Guards, and asked him to make arrangements.
Officials took over the positions of Lin Pingru and others... In addition, the subordinates also recruited most of the private soldiers on Yulin South Road this time, and also confiscated most of the horses, armor, and firearms on Yulin South Road, so Lin Pingru
Even if some of their remnants escape, they will definitely not be able to cause any waves... However, the defense of Yulin South Road has been weakened a lot. If they are attacked by the Mongolian army, they may not be able to sustain it for too long."
After speaking, He Zhang took out an account from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Junchen through Niu Fude.
Zhao Junchen opened the account and found that it contained various resources confiscated by He Zhang from Yulin South Road. There were more than 1,100 private soldiers, more than 500 war horses, more than 300 slave horses, and various kinds of resources.
There are more than 500 pieces of armor and more than 700 muskets of various types.
Zhao Junchen couldn't help but laugh and said: "After confiscating so many war horses, muskets, and armor, you have completely emptied the entire South Yulin Road... But no matter what, the equipment of the new war soldiers is still somewhat insufficient.
Although I intend to reinforce it, the arsenal of Huamachi Camp has been exhausted, and there is nothing I can do... Well, these war horses, muskets, armors, and private soldiers from Yulin South Road can all be replenished into the new army of soldiers.
.”
He Zhang was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Junchen's decision, and once again assured Zhao Junchen that the new soldiers would fight bravely and make more achievements after receiving this batch of supplies.
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "As for the defense of Yulin South Road, there is no need to worry. If the Mongols want to attack Yulin South Road, they must first pass through Yulin North Road and Yulin Middle Road. As long as Wang Yan, the commander-in-chief of Yulin Military Town,
If you deliberately take precautions, there won't be any big problems... What's more, I have received intelligence that the Mongolian right-wing coalition that threatens Yulin has now divided its troops into more than 20,000 people and moved westward, hoping to attack with the Junggar Khanate.
The Longnan area of Gansu Province, so Longnan of Gansu Province is the main direction of attack by the Mongols, and the vicinity of Yulin Military Town is just a feint attack by the Mongols, and will not bear too much pressure."
Seeing that Zhao Junchen mentioned the dynamics of the Mongols, He Zhang looked serious and asked: "Sir, I have been working on Yulin South Road during this period. I don't know much about the dynamics of the border war. I only know that the Mongols have been concentrated."
We have troops to attack Longnan, Gansu, but we don’t know how the war in Longnan is progressing? Is the defense difficult? Do we need low-level troops to go to support?"
When asked, He Zhang showed an eager look on his face. It was obvious that he was eager to rush to the battlefield and kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.
Regarding He Zhang's statement, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with satisfaction and appreciation.
Most of the military attachés and generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army were fearful of the enemy and fierce in appearance. Zhao Junchen spent countless scheming methods on dispatching troops and generals during this period. Everyone was perfunctory and delayed in every possible way, even Zhao Junchen.
The same is true for He Zhang's confidants and the commander of the Forbidden Army, Guan Wuyuan. Under such circumstances, He Zhang's initiative to ask for a fight is really commendable.
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen felt helpless, but he quickly calmed down his thoughts and explained to He Zhang: "According to the intelligence, the Junggar Khanate and its servants totaling more than 40,000 people have now invaded Gansu.
, headed straight for Longnan, but the Gansu military town had been prepared in advance. All the prefecture and county guard posts were heavily guarded, with strong walls and clear fields, but it did not cause much damage. The Mongolian army did not attack the cities outside Longnan.
They just left some cavalry along the way as a diversion and to ensure the way back...
In addition, the Mongolian right-wing coalition also sent more than 20,000 people to Longnan, all of whom were the elites of the Mongolian right wing... Therefore, this time the Mongols invested a total of more than 60,000 troops in Longnan, which was the absolute main force of the Mongols.
If we can defeat their Longnan offensive, the Mongols will definitely be severely injured and it will take many years to recover!"
He Zhang's face became more serious, and he asked: "How is the defense strength in Longnan? Can it block the Mongolian attack? When will the new army of soldiers go to support?"
Zhao Junchen obviously had a plan in advance and replied: "I have arranged for Guan Wuyuan to lead 30,000 elite Forbidden Army to garrison in Longnan. Although the Forbidden Army is not strong in fighting spirit, they can still do it by garrisoning the city. I have also prepared it in advance.
A large number of defensive equipment were prepared for Longnan and many fortifications were built. Although the Mongols were menacing, it was not that simple for them to break through Longnan... As for the new army of soldiers, they did not need to be dispatched for the time being, and it was easy to defeat them.
Scare the Mongols away. Wait until the Mongols begin to lose their strength and energy, and that's when you will fight them decisively! The soldiers of the new warrior army are better off staying in Huamachi Camp to rest and recuperate. They have been traveling for many days.
, if you force yourself to go to the battlefield, I’m afraid it won’t be effective!”
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, He Zhang looked a little unwilling, but he also knew that Zhao Junchen's statement was reasonable, so he still bowed and listened to the order.
But at this moment, a young general suddenly stepped out from behind He Zhang and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the attack on Yulin South Road was mostly done by the new army of soldiers. The subordinates and the soldiers under the subordinates were only responsible for the attack.
That’s all, I’m not tired at all, and I can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time! I also ask the Imperial Envoy to allow me to lead troops to Longnan, Gansu to support you. I will definitely contribute to the Imperial Envoy’s retreat from the enemy!”
This young general has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament. His expression is full of excitement. His attitude towards Zhao Junchen seems to be respectful, but there is a hint of wariness and alienation hidden in it.
This young general is naturally Qi Bin!
After attacking Yulin South Road with the new soldiers, Qi Bin followed He Zhang back to Huamachi Camp. When He Zhang reported to Zhao Junchen, Qi Bin was standing behind He Zhang.
Zhao Junchen also saw Qi Bin, but he was angry that Qi Bin had repeatedly violated military orders, but he ignored him and just pretended not to see him.
At this time, after seeing Qi Bin's statement, everyone present was shocked. They thought Qi Bin would deliberately keep a low profile, but they did not expect that Qi Bin would take the initiative to stand up.
Seeing Qi Bin's request for help, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Qi Bin's request seemed like he couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he didn't take the opportunity to stay away from Zhao Junchen's control.
While the coldness flashed in his eyes, Zhao Junchen's expression actually became gentler, as if he regarded Qi Bin as a confidant.
Zhao Junchen said: "Qi Bin's new army and Zhanbing's new army are both the most elite troops of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army, and their tasks are the same. Regarding the Longnan war, I have a comprehensive consideration. Qi Bin's new army does not need to be dispatched too soon... Don't worry, General Qi
Just like that, the matter of going to battle to kill the enemy will not leave you alone. When the new army of soldiers rushes to the battlefield, your new army of Qi Bin will also act together... This time I will let Qi Bin's new army and the new army of soldiers attack Yulin together.
The southern route is also to strengthen the tacit understanding between the two armies and prepare for future wars."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, Qi Bin hesitated for a moment, but finally quietly retreated behind He Zhang without saying anything more.
At the same time, several astute officials in the lobby were shocked.
Zhao Junchen's words may seem ordinary, but in fact they contain evil intentions!
In front of everyone, Zhao Junchen actually called Qi Bin's new army "Qi Bin's new army"!
Before that, because of Zhao Junchen's subtle influence, everyone called this army "Qi Bin's New Army", but it was only a private name, but now it is in public, and all the civil and military officials of Huamachi Camp are
Among them, Zhao Junchen is still called "Qi Bin's New Army", which is a big problem!
Since ancient times, whether it is the "Yue Family Army", "Yang Family General", or even the "Qi Family Army" formed by Qi Bin's ancestor Qi Shaobao, they have all been named after the leading generals, and they have been deeply imprinted with the names of the leading generals.
With the imprint of the army, such an army will naturally be feared and suppressed by the imperial court. No matter how outstanding these armies are and how famous they are, the final ending will mostly be unhappy!
Nowadays, Zhao Junchen calls Qi Bin's new army "Qi Bin's new army". Doesn't this mean that this army is compared with the former Yue Jiajun, Yang Jiajun, and Qi Jiajun? Once such a name reached the ears of Emperor Deqing, Deqing
What would the emperor think?
Qi Bin was just good at leading troops, not proficient in politics, and was not aware of Zhao Junchen's evil intentions. He actually acquiesced in the title of "Qi Bin's New Army" and jumped directly into Zhao Junchen's trap!
Shaanxi Academician Zheng Jiadong couldn't bear that Qi Bin fell into the trap like this. After hesitating for a while, he planned to speak up to rescue Qi Bin!
However, at this moment, a staff member of the Governor's Mansion suddenly stumbled into the lobby. His expression was full of panic, as if the sky had fallen.
After running into the lobby, this staff member completely ignored all etiquette and knelt down directly in front of Zhao Junchen, panicking and saying: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! Something bad is going to happen!"
Seeing the performance of this staff member, everyone was shocked!
What on earth could have caused him to lose his composure?
Could it be that the Longnan War had unexpected changes?
…
Recently, due to the convening of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chongzhong's work has increased countless times, and it is really difficult to escape. Please forgive me!
