Some things are not something you can do whatever you want. Zhu Youjian's idea is to put the Zhungeer and Rakshasa people down for a few years in advance. Mobei and Moxi are not yet the time to involve energy. However, he wants to put it aside.
Others don't give such a chance.
Just when Song Quan inspected Guihua City and got the news that Mobei was being invaded, and was about to write a long report to recommend that the court respond. The Jinyiwei intelligence station in Guihua City received a message from Mobei and Guihua
Urgent information came from a businessman. Bater, the leader of the Warazhungar tribe, has gathered 40,000 to 50,000 tribesmen and is marching rapidly towards Guihua City via Mobei. It is very likely that his troops will arrive at Guihua City.
"The stationmaster's situation is in crisis. We have to spread the news as soon as possible." All the officials in the naturalization information station gathered together to hold an emergency meeting. The team leader who received the information anxiously suggested to the person in charge that the news be sent as soon as possible.
Information reporting.
Jin Yishi is the director of the Naturalization Information Station of the Jinyiwei Military Intelligence Department. He listened to the speeches of his subordinates with great solemnity at the meeting, his brows furrowed into a frown. Reporting the intelligence must be done. But there is a problem.
How do you report it? If you report it to the capital, report it as quickly as possible. After a lot of back and forth, Guihua City will probably have troops approaching the city, and it will definitely be too late to react.
The only feasible plan now is to report the news to the Guihua City garrison headquarters and Guihua government office in an urgent manner. Let them activate a state of emergency, prepare to defend against the enemy first, and then wait for the reaction of Xuanhua and Beijing.
If the scale of the incoming enemy is not large, this method should be no problem. However, the scale of the incoming enemy this time is indeed quite large. The Zhungeer tribe has more than 40,000 people, and any group of wallflowers in Mobei will probably have tens of thousands of people.
Join us to fight the autumn wind. We may face a total of 70,000 to 80,000 enemy soldiers, and Guihua City and its surrounding troops may not be able to cope with it alone. Therefore, after the intelligence report has passed, Guihua City must seek help from the outside.
This involves a problem. The current information is only a one-sided source and has not been verified. If the information is accurate, it would be fine, but what if they did not come to Guihua City in the end? Wouldn't it be like a beacon-playing prince, and in the end he will be responsible
We need people from the Jinyiwei Intelligence Station to resist.

"Well, in this way, the information will be sent to Xuanhua and the capital immediately. In addition, deputy station chief Lu and I will each take a piece of information to the garrison headquarters and the prefect's Yamen to report the situation urgently. When reporting, we have the same idea, only
We don’t make any judgments about the content of the intelligence. Let them take the big ideas as officials." After thinking for a while, Jin Yishi made a decision. He would only report the intelligence without making any final recommendations.
"Stationmaster, there is a situation. Governor Song in Yunzhong is currently in Guihua City. Should we pass the information to him?"
"Governor Song is in Guihua City? This is a good thing. Let's do this. I will go to the prefect's Yamen to report the information to the governor and the prefect. Deputy station chief Lu, go see Master Yu and pass on the information. If possible, ask him to rush to the prefect too.
The Yamen and the Governor will decide this matter together."
Now that Song Quan is naturalizing, this matter will be easier to handle. As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there will be a big man to hold it up. Old Song is the big man who came to his door.
At this time, the big man Song was in the VIP courtyard of the prefect's Yamen guest house, looking at a bunch of information on the Rakshasa and Zhungeer reported by Zhao Zhixin. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was necessary for him to write a memorial to the emperor.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "What's the matter?" It was already midnight, and the secretary knocking on the door at this time must have something important to do.
"Sir, Governor Zhao and Jin Yishi, the head of the Jinyiwei Naturalization Information Station, are asking for a meeting. There is an urgent military situation!"
"Emergency military information? Let them in quickly." Upon hearing that it was an emergency military situation, Song Quan quickly asked his secretary to bring them in. It is impossible for them to come to him for ordinary military information. Where is the military's garrison headquarters? It's not their turn.
He is a local official who makes irresponsible remarks. Unless there is a last resort or a major military situation occurs, he will come to him!
When Jin Yishi and Zhao Zhixin walked into Song Quan's study hall, they saw that Song Quan was still wearing pajamas, and knew that he attached great importance to their arrival.
"Tell me what happened quickly."
Zhao Zhixin glanced at Jin Yishi, meaning to let him speak first. After all, he was the first-hand master of military intelligence.
"Mr. Governor, our intelligence station has just received an urgent report from a spy. The leader of the Warazhungar tribe, Bater, led an army of 40,000 in Mobei, and came all the way to the direction of naturalization. During the march, he also took tens of thousands of Mobei troops with him.
Northern Mongolians. According to rumors, they came here to plunder Guihua City."
"What? A strong enemy is coming to Guihua City? Is the news accurate? How long will it take for them to arrive in Guihua City?" Song Quan heard this and hurriedly asked a series of questions. He was drafting a report about Zhungeer and the Rakshasa people.
Regarding the memorials, I couldn't believe that one of them would come to my door so coincidentally.
"Sir, I have only received one relevant message now, and there is no other news to confirm it. I am arranging people to confirm it, but the matter is urgent and I can only report it first to avoid the fact that there is no response in the city."
"Yeah! The news you received said that the enemy situation has arrived in Guihua City."
"We should arrive at Guihua City in three to five days. The person who brought the news met their soldiers and horses ten days ago 700 miles away from Guihua City, and then traveled day and night to report the news. According to the six days a day, they will arrive
Calculated at a marching speed of eighty miles, the enemy's current furthest distance from us is only three hundred miles."
The normal march of the cavalry on the grassland usually involves half a day of walking and half a day of rest for the horses to graze and recuperate. If the army can carry horse supplies with them, the speed will be much faster than this, but soldiers and horses like the Zhungeer tribe who come to fight the autumnal equinox
, they definitely didn’t carry horse feed. When the war horses passed through the grassland, they had to provide part of the supplies through grazing. If you march with forage, you are not plundering!
"The furthest is three hundred miles? If it's closer, wouldn't it be less than two hundred miles? How could there be no other news at such a close distance?" Song Quan was very dissatisfied with Jin Yishi's information being so careless! Within two to three hundred miles
In any case, there is a way to confirm it.
"The humble post has sent personnel to collect information. It is estimated that there will be relevant news around noon tomorrow at the latest. The Governor may not know that the naturalization situation is special, and the sentinel posts in the northwest only cover about a hundred miles. Now
The trouble is that if we wait for the intelligence to be confirmed, the enemy is likely to be within two hundred miles of Guihua City. At that time, they will definitely speed up and arrive at Guihua City overnight, and our reaction time will be very short.
"
Song Quan has never been involved in the military and does not know much about the situation. He makes judgments based entirely on common sense. Naturally, the judgment is inaccurate. How can the naturalization side communicate the situation as conveniently as within the customs? It can only be a single trip by intelligence personnel.
To report, even the simple means of transmitting signals within the message tower cannot be used.
