Chapter 2100 Gui Zi Scroll: Obey or perish, no choice
With the men from Datu Falcon Village and Boluosi Village launching a sneak attack on the rebels outside the city, the situation inside and outside Wubao City completely reversed.
Although Feng Ziying had no way of knowing how the entire war situation would evolve. He could only use a telescope on the city wall to analyze and judge the changes in the situation outside the city and deduce a general situation.
But there is no doubt that the raid by Datu Falcon Village and Boluosi Village was very successful, and the reaction of the rebel army was also very slow, even worse than Feng Ziying imagined.
Compared with the attacks organized by Boyan Village and Baitang Village yesterday, their defensive response was completely different.
Of course, Feng Ziying didn't know that Modlen had convened the leaders of the rebel army by mistake to discuss and help Jing Zhizhong and Kuang Tiangeng in disguise in their raid, leaving the rebel army without a leader to face this attack.
A tragic blitzkrieg.
It can be seen from the telescope that the entire western rebel camp is in complete chaos. Except for a few camps in the center, they can barely protect themselves and avoid being involved in the chaos of the camp. Several other camps in the camp are in complete chaos.
Every camp was shrouded in smoke and dust. It was obvious that this was chaos caused by arson and could not even be controlled.
Wang Chengwu requested to leave the city immediately to join in the last-ditch attack, but Feng Ziying refused.
In his opinion, when the raids on Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village were successful, it meant that the war had come to an end.
Boyan Village and Baitang Village can no longer integrate these chaotic armies. They were able to do it in Yiheyi City because the food in Yiheyi City gave them this opportunity, but now, this kind of
The chaos caused by the collapse of morale cannot be recovered in three or five days. It is difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone interfere with other families.
Moreover, after being hit by Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village, Boyan Village and Baitang Village no longer have the prestige and ability to win over people and sort out the situation.
If Modlen and Qiu Zixiong were smart, they should consider their own survival issues.
Seeing the signs that the rebel army was retreating to the west became more and more obvious, Feng Ziying agreed to leave the Yueshan Battalion to go out of the city to clean up the battlefield, but not with the purpose of pursuing and suppressing, but with the goal of collecting and surrendering.
In Feng Ziying's view, without the will and determination to continue fighting, no matter in terms of equipment, discipline or morale, these rebel armies, except for the border troops, cannot be called an army at all, and have degenerated into ordinary chaos.
The over-mountain battalion, which is evolving into a regular army through various trainings and battles, has been completely reborn after a hearty but bloody battle the day before yesterday, and is now fully capable of taking prisoners.
Deal with these people.
These rebels may even be eager to become prisoners, as long as they can fill their bellies, no, they don't even expect to fill their bellies, as long as they don't starve to death.
Seeing Liu Dingfeng walking towards him quickly with a surprised smile on his face, Feng Ziying felt that his guess might really become a reality.
That's right, Boyan Village and Baitang Village encountered an ambush attack from Yuerhe Village while regrouping during their retreat. Some small border villages also broke away from the control of Boyan Village and Baitang Village. The entire rebel alliance has completely disintegrated.
Now Modlen and Qiu Zixiong sent people to see Feng Ziying, hoping to negotiate.
"Negotiation?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but find it funny, "Can bandits and officials negotiate? Even if Modren and Qiu Zixiong didn't raise the flag of rebellion, they were just deserters at the border. How could they think they had hundreds of people in their hands?
Once you have a horse, you can suddenly become the king of the mountain and bargain with the court to negotiate terms?"
Xia Zhiling on the side also shook his head repeatedly, "Sir, what else is there to talk about with these bandits at this time? Let Jing Zhizhong and Kuang Zhengcao continue their pursuit. Didn't Yu Changhe also make a contribution? They should have a sense of urgency.
Yes, haven't those small border villages also parted ways with the Boyan Village and the Baitang Village? There is a reward, as long as Modlun and Qiu Zixiong are captured, they will have the opportunity to be pardoned for their meritorious service..."
Xia Zhiling was not good at fighting, but he was no stranger to the methods of manipulating internal strife and competition. He talked about it in a smooth manner, and even Wang Wenyan, Li Guibao and others on the side looked at him.
Feng Ziying chuckled and shook her head: "You don't have to be so aggressive. I will definitely not talk to them. They don't have the qualifications. They didn't have it before, and they don't have it now. They can only accept my instructions, orders, obey, or die."
Destroy, these are the two choices. The same is true for Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village, and the same is true for Yuerhe Village. Could it be that Boyan Village and Baitang Village have become meat on the chopping board, can they be more special?"
"Then what do you mean, sir?" Liu Dingfeng said hesitantly.
"Well, I won't meet him, but Wen Yan can go and meet him, but the prerequisite for meeting him is to explain his attitude to him first, so as not to let him misunderstand and hold too many unrealistic hopes." Feng Ziying stretched herself leisurely.
Youran said: "Shaowu, you don't know much about these border villages. I still know the situation of these border villages. In a sense, they are stronger than the guard troops in many places..."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was slightly moved. They were stronger than the guards. The implication was that maybe these people could be used as guards?
"If the situation in Shaanxi is like this now, I guess all the food provided by the imperial court will be intercepted even if it can't cross the Yellow River. If you want to survive in this land of northern Shaanxi, you have to show your own value. It's so cruel.
Reality,……"
Feng Ziying's expression was indifferent, but her tone became more and more bleak.
"Look at how many people have been killed and injured in and outside the city in the past few days. In fact, I also know that the vast majority of them are also forced by life. It is better to fight to death than to starve to death. They will always be a dead ghost, but as a person
What the governor of Shaanxi sent by the imperial court has to do is to completely restore order in the province. Only by restoring order can more people be prevented from dying in this disordered state, and they may continue to die, so in order to achieve a better
In this process, who and how many people are sacrificed are not my concern, nor will I care."
"To restore order, we need force. The Yulin Army can be used, but it cannot be relied on. I am not the governor of the three sides. I have no power to mobilize the troops of Yulin Town and the other three towns at will, unless it is absolutely necessary. Everyone is also aware of the situation of the garrison troops in the whole province of Shaanxi.
I know it well, so I can’t count on it, so I can only find another way out..."
"I will give them the opportunity, but who can seize it depends on themselves..." Feng Ziying glanced at everyone meaningfully, "This is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and I will not hesitate to recommend it to the imperial court.
Talents are eclectic in extraordinary times, and I am sure the princes of the imperial court will recognize them."
**********
A fast horse galloped in from Zhengyang Gate and galloped westward along the lower city street, attracting side glances from the onlookers in the teahouse.
Horse racing is not allowed in the inner city, especially in the Yongfang area where most of the central courtyard of the capital is located. The Department of Soldiers and Horses has long banned horse racing, but there are exceptions. Couriers or emergency messages for military emergencies are not subject to this rule.
constraint.
"Is it an emergency message?" A tea guest stood up, leaned out of the window, looked at the knight's figure in the distance, and asked uncertainly.
"No, even if the post messenger is covered in dust, it's not like he can't even identify his color. He should be a local military intelligence messenger, most likely someone from the Ministry of War's Staff Division." Another worldly man with a rat beard saw this.
He said with a grin on his face, not used to being surprised.
"What if it's Captain Long?" Another man who looked like a rich man disagreed.
"Hmph, what do you know? When did Long Jinwei become so public?" The rat-bearded man said proudly: "Even during the Jingtong case and the raid on the palace, we have never seen this kind of situation, unless..."
The rat-bearded man pointed to the sky, and then shook his head: "If the emperor died, how could he come in through Zhengyang Gate? It must be an urgent report from other places, but I don't know where it came from. There is no such thing in this world.
Jing, I hope there is good news from Shandong..."
"You have such a crow's mouth. Every time you say something, you always miss the mark, and it's always sarcastic. It's best not to predict. It might become bad news for Huguang or Shaanxi again." The thin man pulled his body back from the window.
He shook his head repeatedly, "You gave me bad luck last time. Good news and bad news came together. Without your prophecy, there might not have been any Huaiyang troops going to Yangzhou."
"Hmph, I say you are short-sighted. Is it a bad thing for Huaiyang soldiers to go to Yangzhou? Theoretically, Yangzhou is originally the jurisdiction of Huaiyang soldiers, but the Nanjing puppet dynasty did not allow Huaiyang soldiers to go to Yangzhou first. I don't even think about the next step.
Maybe we can even go to Jinling!"
The rat-bearded man noticed that the tea guests around him were looking at him, and he looked around even more proudly, while raising his voice: "I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Chen Jixian is a good person. He has been able to endure it for so many years as a general in the Fifth Army Camp.
The general position of the Huaiyang Army was also silent. Why did it suddenly go to Yangzhou? It was because the Xuanfu soldiers and Datong soldiers were beaten by the Northwest Army that they couldn't resist, so they had the idea of going south to pick up fruits. So why?
, If you don’t believe it, just look at it, within two months, the news that the Northwest Army and the Jizhen Army have recaptured Shandong will definitely come.”
"You've given me all the good predictions, but I've never seen you say bad ones." The companion sneered, obviously disapproving of this super optimistic attitude, "When the Mongols came in the year before last, the messenger rushed in.
, you want to say that everything is under control, there is no need to worry, but what is the result? When the Beijing camp left the capital, you said that it would return in triumph, but when you came back, you came back. How much money did each household pay? Haha, your cousin in the next room.
My uncle seems to have borrowed fifty taels from you, has he returned it to you yet?"
The companion's revelation made the teahouse burst into laughter, and made the man with the moustache look embarrassed, angry and annoyed.
