The rapid sound of horses' hooves went straight to the direction of the military headquarters along Chang'an Street.

The people along the street who were disturbed from their dreams couldn't help but hang their hearts, and they couldn't sleep anymore.

I don't know where the chaos is, in the middle of the night, the Tang newspaper express is so desperate to pass, and it's the third trip, the previous time has passed a trip, Chouzheng has passed again, this is just the beginning, and it is a ride galloping by, there must be something wrong, and it is a big deal!

The military department has long been brightly lit.

The directors of all the divisions have already arrived overnight, and they dare to make excuses at this time, so they will get out of their own way.

Xiao Tycoon's eye bubbles were frighteningly swollen, and he didn't know if he hadn't slept well or was in a bad mood, but Tie Qing's face and clenched teeth were enough to show that the situation was bad.

Zuo Lang Zhang Jingqiu's face was slightly more normal, and he was carefully reading the Tang newspaper sent back.

From the first report to the third report, it seems that there is only one or two hours between each report, but in fact this is not the case, the first report was sent to the third report when the report was sent out by three days, and the actual situation was in the hands of the military department nine days ago.

It is conceivable that from today onwards, there will be countless ponds pouring in like a tide, not only in Ningxia Town and Yulin Town, but also in Gansu Town, Guyuan Town, and even Shanxi Town and Datong Town.

Zhang Jingqiu did not believe that this could be just a simple rebellion in Ningxiazhen, and if there were no Tatars in the Hetao or even further east, he would dare to write his name upside down.

"Do you want to inform the two pavilion elders?" Chai Ge's face was also ugly, as the right attendant, he needed to deal with such affairs specifically, and Ningxia Town was suddenly eroded, which had to make him feel frightened.

"The two pavilion elders already know about it and inform the palace." A small official hurriedly said.

"The map is hanging, how many people are here in the department?" Chai Ke didn't wait for an answer, so he said sharply: "In the past three months, all the letters from the Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the Four Towns have been delivered, and the relevant situation will be cleared up immediately. ”

The whole public hall began to be restless like boiling water, there was such a big thing, and it was a matter of time to pursue responsibility, and now it is necessary to grasp the basic situation as soon as possible, and come up with a corresponding strategy, otherwise the emperor and the cabinet will make a fool of themselves when they meet or inquire.

Seeing Xiao Tycoon's appearance, Chai Ke felt irritable for no reason, such a big thing, he, the secretary of the military department, was the first to bear the brunt, but what about Xiao Tycoon?

His age is there, and even if he is immediately Zhishi, it will not have much impact, but for such a big matter, the burden will be on the group of people present.

The map was quickly hung up, including not only Ningxia Town, but also the situation of the neighboring three towns and the Hetao, but such maps may not be understood by outsiders at a glance, but only those who are familiar with military affairs can understand them.

"Say." Xiao Daheng, Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke were already standing in front of the hanging map, and Geng Ruqi, the director of the Ministry of Staff, was already standing aside, "According to the current Tang newspaper, on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Ningxia Town's deputy chief soldiers Bi Chengen and Bi Chengzhong and Ningxia Town's deputy chief soldier Liu Dongyang raised an incident at the same time, and attacked and killed the chief soldier Shi Guangjue that night, and the soldiers ransacked the town's treasury, and it is rumored that more than 200,000 taels of silver were obtained, and the distribution was ,......."

"......, on the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, the guerrilla general Tuwenxiu led the army and Biyun to raid the Pingyu Station, and Yao Zhili, the general of Ningxia Town, was killed in battle, and the rest were defeated, and the northern town of Yuanguan also prepared the Biyun Department to control the ,......"

"On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, the general Liu Baichuan raised troops in the Ningxia rearguard to respond to the rebellion, and the Sanshankou and Qinggangxia lines were controlled by Liu Baichuan's troops,......"

Zhang Jingqiu's cold voice sounded: "So, the entire Ningxia Town, except for Lingzhou and Ningxia Zhongwei, has not yet received news, and the rest has been controlled by the rebels?" ”

"No, Lord Zhang, Liu Dongyang is the deputy chief soldier of Ningxia Zhongwei, Ningxia Zhongwei must have been controlled by him a long time ago, only Lingzhou is guarded by General Xie Wengui, it is not clear about the situation, what is the situation of Xingwu Battalion, if Xingwu Camp is also controlled by the rebels, then I am afraid that the entire Ningxia Town will not have much hope,......"

Geng Ruqi's words were like a bucket of ice water poured into the hearts of everyone present, who were already a little desperate.

The huge town of Ningxia actually fell in just ten days, could it be that the frontier affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were already weakened to such an extent?

Of course, this is a civil strife, not an invasion by a foreign enemy, but this is more terrible than an invasion by a foreign enemy, because there must be a shadow of a foreign enemy behind it, otherwise these rebels will not be busy with the scenery of Ningxia Defenders and Peaceful Prisoners.

This is clearly to control the choke point that connects with the Tatars in the jacket, and once there is a change, the Tatar iron can be directly put into the plug.

"The situation in Gansu Town is also not good, it is said that the Abdul Shatar and Harahash tribes entrenched in Hami in the west have been attacking Suzhou, and the Tatars of the West Sea have often crossed the Qilian Mountains and haunted the Wuwei of Ganzhou, and the Zhuwei in the west of Gansu Town is not very disturbed,......"

There is not a single piece of good news.

Everyone knew about these news before, but after all, there was no major incident, and these situations were commonplace, the problem is that now there is chaos in Ningxia Town, what should I do? Where to transfer troops to quell the rebellion?

The posture of Gansu Town is not only unable to draw troops, but may even be attacked by the Ningxia rebels, once the Gansu Town is destroyed, then the problem is really big.

Chai Ke took a deep breath, "Chu Cai, it seems that this Gansu town can't draw troops?" ”

"Lord Chai, I'm afraid it's not a matter of not being able to draw troops, Ningxia Zhongwei has always been Liu Dongyang's lair, he has been stationed there for more than ten years, and the news from the pedestrian division and the dragon forbidden captain all say that Liu Dongyang is known as the king of Zhongwei in Zhongwei, and his troops are as high as 5,000 people, and 2,000 are the best among the herdsmen and homeless people he recruited from Gansu and Hetao, and some of them are horse bandits who are active in Heli Mountain, who are ambitious, but also have the ability to ,......"

These words made Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke nervous all of a sudden, "Chu Cai, what do you mean?" ”

"The subordinates are worried that his mind is not just a town in Ningxia for a long time, but has a look at Guyuan and Gansu Town in the west, especially Gansu Town, the situation there may be worse than we imagined, once he raised his troops to the west, he took Jingtai and Songshan Fort, which has always been the pasture of the Achi Rabbit Department, if it wasn't for the expulsion of the Achi Rabbit Department more than ten years ago, by building a side wall in the north, the Achi Rabbit Department would have rushed in, if Liu Dongyang and the Achi Rabbit Department colluded, not only the big and small Songshan, including the town of Fanwei and Liangzhou Wei will be very dangerous, the side wall can stop the Chitu department, but it can't resist Liu Dongyang's people,......"

Everyone gasped, if this was the case, then the entire eastern Zhuwei town of Gansu Town would be in danger.

"Chu Cai, you're afraid of the worst scenario, right?" Zhang Jingqiu hesitated for a moment, his eyes were still wandering on the map, "Liu Dongyang trusts the Bibai family so much?" ”

"It is precisely because of his distrust that Bibai will stand in the way, Tuwenxiu, Xu Chao and Liu Baichuan must follow Liu Dongyang, maybe the mutual distrust between them will be our only chance, but if Bibai gets the support of the Tumut Ministry, then the effect of this mutual distrust on us will be infinitely smaller, and Liu Dongyang will really form an alliance with Bibai!"

Geng Ruqi's analysis made Chai Ke nod slightly, "Chu Cai, do you mean that Liu Dongyang hasn't made up his mind yet?" ”

"Lord Chai, I can't judge, it stands to reason that since he dares to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid he will have a heart long ago, but judging from the performance of his headquarters, he still doesn't trust Bibai, maybe he is waiting for the attitude of the Tumut Department, and the current confrontation between Su Nang and Bu Shitu may make him a little hesitant."

When Feng Ziying got the news, it was already noon.

At this time, the entire Jingshi City has been spread, and there are two batches of Tang newspapers back to the Beijing Division in the morning, five police officers a day, this is probably the most tense time after the Battle of Hulunsai that year, fortunately, although there is some tension inside and outside the Beijing Division, but I think that it is Ningxia Town, which is still far away from the Jingshi City, so it is not enough to have all the soldiers, and the specific situation is not clear.

If something like this happened in Shanxi Town or Datong Town, I am afraid that the whole city will be panicked.

"Early in the morning, the bigwigs of the military department entered the court, and they have not come up with opinions until noon, mainly because the situation has changed too quickly, it is said that Ningxia Town has almost been wiped out, except for Lingzhou, which is said to be still defended, but it has also been besieged for several days, maybe it has fallen now."

Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong both went to Feng's house to eat, and of course Fang Youdu.

"Songshan Fort should have been taken by Liu Dongyang, it is said that the defenders of Jingtai City surrendered without blood, and they also took the initiative to lead the rebels to take Gaolan City, but they were fiercely counterattacked when attacking Anning Fort and failed to succeed,...... Zheng Chongjian sighed and shook his head.

"If Anning Fort is taken by the rebels, then Lanzhou Wei will have no reason to resist, and Lintao Mansion will be in danger." Wang Yingxiong was also very excited.

"No, it's impossible for the rebels to go south to Lintao, they just want to control Anning Fort and Lanzhou Wei, hold this line, they will have no worries on the south line, they don't have the strength to ,......go south at all," Feng Ziying shook her head, "This Liu Dongyang is still very clear about his strength, by the way, hasn't the court made a decision yet?" Where to send troops? Who is the manager? ”

"It hasn't been decided yet, but Yulin and Shanxi Town are afraid that they won't be able to escape, and Guyuan Town is a little struggling,......," Zheng Chongjian was more well-informed, "It is said that it may be necessary to let the right attendant Lang Chai concurrently serve as the governor of the three sides, with full authority to control the entire four towns of Shaanxi, responsible for counterinsurgency, and if the situation is not good, troops may be transferred from Sichuan and Henan." ”
