CHAPTER XXVI

Zhang Xuan immediately arranged for some people from each department to work with Yao Qisheng to assign the order of each department's boating. Immediately, Yao Qisheng began to get busy. According to Zhang Xuan's arrangement, Cao Zongyu's department stayed behind. Xu Dubu, Wang Jincai, Deng He, plus Ma Guangyu, who had just defected, plus Zhang Xuan's direct subordinates. There were about 50,000 of them.

Such a large-scale transshipment must be prepared in advance.

Otherwise, it will not be done at all.

For this matter, Yao Qisheng began to run around, and almost all the civilian ships along the Yangtze River were recruited on the spot, which made both sides of the Yangtze River empty.

However, Hu Tang had a worry, he privately found Zhang Xuan and said: "Your Majesty ordered General Wang Long to guard Wuchang, it may not have the intention of containing the general, and now the general is asking for help from Wuchang, I am afraid that General Wang Long will not send troops immediately." It will be clear to Nanjing and then act, and this point is also for the general to ponder. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Daxia is not Daming." ”

Zhang Xuan admitted that what Hu said made sense.

Zhang Xuan is not a fool, how can he not see it. Luo Yulong put Wang Lung in Wuchang's mind. But he speculated about the Xia Dynasty with the thinking of the Ming Dynasty.

Even though the nascent dynasty has an inheritance relationship with the Ming Dynasty in terms of system, the nascent dynasty does not have so many burdens. There's no such ghostly thinking. Zhang Xuan believed that Wang Lung might not have had time to think about these things at all.

The letter went down the river and arrived in Wuchang in one day.

As Zhang Xuan expected, Wang Lung was overjoyed to have written the letter.

People don't think the same way at all, for Wang Lung. He saw an opportunity.

Although Wang Lung suddenly commanded the army, from before he entered Jiangnan, he only commanded more than 10,000 men and horses, and now there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers under Wang Long's command in several provinces in Hubei, which makes him feel a little trembling. But he still thinks of himself as a general in his bones.

Many secretly said that he was on top because of nepotism, so Wang Lung always wanted to prove himself.

Although Luo Yulong took good care of Wang Lung. So that Wang Lung can share the credit without going to the battlefield, but this is not what Wang Lung wants. Therefore, when Wang Lung saw Zhang Xuan asking for help, he was almost overjoyed, and while reporting to Luo Yulong, he ordered all the people and horses to go south.

was immediately stopped by Zhang Bingzhen.

Zhang Bingzhen is the governor of Huguang. Although he, the governor, can only be regarded as the deputy left behind in Xijing. Zhang Bingzhen surrendered to Luo Yulong with the title of governor of Zhejiang, and Luo Yulong remained as governor of Zhejiang, and he was also the first feudal official in Daxia. Wang Lung followed Luo Yulong to Hangzhou, although there were ministers of the dead festival, such as Huang Daozhou and others, but there were also people who surrendered.

And among the ministers, the person who was reused was Zhang Bing

Chastity.

Luo Yulong thought that the generals did not repair their civil affairs, so he sent many civilian officials to various places to undertake local government affairs as the deputy or staff of the chief general. It can also be regarded as a means of decentralization. However, Luo Yulong can be regarded as taking care of Wang Lung.

When Wang Lung was in Hangzhou, Zhang Bingzhen worked under Wang Long. It can be said that Zhang Bingzhen is Wang Lung's private. Wang Lung transferred to Wuchang, Luo Yulong was afraid that Wang Lung would not be able to suppress the position, so he transferred all the manpower that Wang Lung had to use, which represented Zhang Bingzhen.

Zhang Bingzhen is the Zhang family of Tongcheng. That's right, it's Zhang Tingyu's Tongcheng Zhang family.

However, in this era, Zhang Tingyu's father has not yet come out. Zhang Bingzhen didn't know that his descendants of the Zhang family could do this. And they don't have a chance to play for the East Prisoner anymore. In fact, the scholars at that time may not really like Dongyu.

For example, although the Tongcheng Zhang family later held a high position in the Qing court, it was not that there was no hatred between the two.

Zhang Bingzhen's brother, Zhang Tingyu's father Zhang Ying's uncle, Zhang Bingwen was in Chongzhen's eleventh year to guard Jinan and resist Dolgon. The city is broken, and the sword is fought in the streets. Till death rests. And Zhang Bingwen's three sons have never been clear in their lives. The Qing court did not clean up the hearts of the Central Plains until after the Kangxi Ping Three Domains.

This is also a last resort, after all, people always have to eat when they live, and the word loyalty and righteousness are important, but life is also very important.

But at the moment, it's different. Zhang Bingzhen was the governor of Huguang, and Zhang Bingwen's three sons all came to defect. For nothing else, in their words, since their father has become a loyal minister, they must be filial sons.

The ancient concept of loyalty and righteousness paid attention to the food of the king and the matter of loyalty to the king. Zhang Bingwen, as a Ming official, was martyred for the Ming Dynasty, which should be. And Zhang Bingwen's son's generation did not eat the Ming Dynasty's Yulu, so naturally he did not have to be martyred. And the three of them are bent on avenging their father. After the First Battle of Xiangyang, it was seen that in the world, the only one who could resist the Qing court was Great Xia. Naturally vote.

Although Zhang Bingzhen was only a flat tone, Luo Yulong privately promised him that as long as he could assist Wang Long to stay in Xijing. After this term, he was given the position of a scholar. In the Great Xia system, the six Shangshu naturally entered the cabinet. That is, one of the top people in Wenchen.

"Think twice, think twice." Zhang Bingwen said: "When the overall situation is the most important, why did Your Majesty let Guogong guard Xijing, just in case, in case Zheng Guogong is defeated, Guogong will have to clean up the mess." And now that Guogong has also invested in the army, once there is a case, how will Guogong explain to His Majesty. ”

Wang Lung said, "What should I do? ”

Zhang Bingzhen said: "Zheng Guogong invited, you can't refuse, you just need to send a general to lead more than 10,000 people south." ”

Wang Lung thought for a while and said, "No. Zheng Guogong's Southern Expeditionary Army is the elite of our dynasty, if it is because I am not able to support it. If something goes wrong, I will die without forgiveness, Wuchang Chengjian,

However, the city is also large, leaving more than 10,000 people to guard it, and it is no problem to guard it for three or four months. ”

"I ordered Wuchang to guard the army, Yiling, Jingzhou locals, and people from all over the country went to the front line to serve."

Zhang Bingzhen said: "In this way, Huguang will be empty? ”

Wang Lung said: "It's empty, there is Gao Doushu in the north, Yuan Shizhong, the east is all the people of the imperial court, and there are not people left on the west side, and there is a southern expeditionary army in the south, what are you doing with so many people?" If it weren't for Wuchang being too important, I would have to let Wuchang go. ”

The upper echelons of Great Xia may have such and such problems, but the most basic unity can still be achieved.

However, don't look at Wang Lung talking so big, but Zhang Bingzhen still didn't dare to do it.

If you really empty all the places and don't guard a single soldier, there will be problems immediately. You must know that although Hubei has been in the hands of Great Xia for a while, it is not very peaceful on the ground, and Great Xia can only ensure the tranquility of cities and market towns in various places, and there are still many bandits in many mountains.

The civil order is not very good, and if there are no troops to defend it, there will definitely be chaos.

The army that Wang Lung can mobilize and send reinforcements is only 40,000 at most, and because of the different locations, the departure time and arrival time are also different, so they can only arrive in batches.

However, Wang Long's letter first went to Chengling Mountain. Let Zhang Xuan be reassured, with these reinforcements, they will arrive in batches, coupled with Cao Zongyu's ability, it is enough to make Li Guo unable to go north.

And at this moment, Luo Dai also got the news.

Sure enough, as Zhang Xuan expected, Luo Dai was overjoyed when he got the news.

Luo Dai's current situation is also very embarrassing.

He Tengjiao is already working step by step, narrowing the scope of Luo Dai's activities.

In the area of Pingjiang, there are mountains and rivers, and there are not too many plains. These terrains limited the play of Luo Dai's cavalry, although in many small contact battles, Luo Dai won a series of victories, but in the face of He Tengjiao's defense line built by relying on the mountains and rivers, Luo Dai was also powerless.

While restraining He Tengjiao, Luo Dai was also contained. The war is at a stalemate.

And Luo Dai himself is not a person who is willing to stalemate, he has been trying to find a way to break the situation, and now knowing Zhang Xuan's plan, although Zhang Xuan did not assign any tasks to Luo Dai, just let him play freely, but Luo Dai had a lot of ideas in his heart.

So he summoned all the troops and advanced in the direction of Xiangyin, but because He Tengjiao was very well guarded, Luo Dai couldn't move, and he could only confront He Tengjiao south of the Miluo River for a while.

Cavalry without mobility is greatly reduced in deterrence. He Tengjiao even dispatched troops, as if he wanted to encircle and annihilate Luo Dai on the south bank of the Miluo River.
