"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Zheng Lang said: "Where did Jiaozhi attack from?" How many times did the beacon burn? ”

"Qinzhou, Lianzhou, three times."

"Three ......"

"Exactly."

If you want to convey the news as quickly as possible, you can only use beacons, but beacons can only play a warning role, so they once again use the number of times to express the scale of the enemy's attack, there is no need to say this to the people, the officials of the states and counties can know it.

But Zheng Lang was pondering.

It is understandable that Jiaozhi first launched an attack on Qinlian Erzhou from the waterway, except that the Song Dynasty trained the naval army when he wanted to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after the actual unification of the Central Plains, the naval army was mostly deserted, or some of the Xiang troops practiced in peacetime to prevent water bandits, but now they can hardly even prevent water bandits.

Jiaozhi is different, facing the sea, there are many rivers inland, and the boat technology is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, but many soldiers are proficient in water and can also control boats, so they can calmly build a naval army.

This is the basis of both parties.

Launch an attack from Qinlian Prefecture first, and attract the limited main force of Liangguang, then the army on land can be unimpeded and launch an attack on Yongzhou. If it is defeated, it can be withdrawn to the ship, and the Song army sighed. If you divide your own troops, then you can calmly break through on both sides, and then the two armies will go north to meet, at least the entire Guangnan West Road will be eroded. It can even allow them to realize their ambitions of expanding north. Don't ask about Cochin, this idea is ridiculous, in actual history, whether it is Cochin or Goryeo, it is a sky that has been sharpened by the tenacity of the Central Plains Dynasty bit by bit, and although it often fails, its territory has been expanding. If you don't pay attention to this army, and focus on Yongzhou. Then after they occupied Lian Chin, they waved their troops to the west, and the two armies cooperated. The north and south attacked, and Yongzhou was eroded again.

As a cochin person, it is normal to choose such a tactic.

But I don't know how many soldiers and horses were dispatched from Jiaozhi.

The country of Cochin is not large. At this time, it only has the territory north of China and Vietnam, part of Laos, and the number of troops in the whole country will not exceed 100,000, but it is not easy to say that if the strong men of all the mountains are gathered together, tens of thousands of people can be gathered.

The fact that the beacon fire was set off three times was the most dangerous invasion.

How many troops will be sent to Cochin this time?

The special battalion has not yet sent the news, which may not be accurate, but it will not fluctuate 20,000 people. The error is in the number of people gathered.

Thinking of this, he said to one of his guards: "You go to Quanzhou, inform Zhang Qi, and ask him to bring all his soldiers, and then lead ten battalions to command the forbidden army nearby, and come to Guangnan West Road as soon as possible, and everything will be done according to the original plan." ”

And he said that he had a letter to be sealed.

In the original plan, it was only planned to let Zhang Qi lead 6,000 soldiers over. However, last year's situation was better, although the road was repaired, under the appeasement of Li Suzhi, plus seeing and hearing the changes in Liangguang, Zheng Lang was going to come to Liangjing soon. It will also bring them this kind of change, and the various barbarians are very quiet, and even take the initiative to cooperate with the imperial court to build roads. Everyone has become a good citizen, and Zhang Qi can't do it anymore. Therefore, in addition to a few dozen soldiers who fell ill and died, the 8,000 soldiers were almost not reduced.

Because of the threat of the Meishan Barbarians and the Kuixia area, Liangjing was also one of the areas with more garrisons in the Song Dynasty, and the original 61 battalions became 52 battalions after being reduced. One is in Tanzhou, mainly to prevent the Meishan barbarians, and the other is in Jiangling Mansion, Dingzhou, and Lizhou, mainly to prevent the invasion of Kuixiaman. Starting from Tanzhou, there were a total of 23 battalions and more than 10,500 soldiers, and if a small amount of empty wages were discarded, it would be barely 10,000. Of course, the more troops in his hands, the better, but Zheng Lang did not dare to transfer them all, Meishan was not peaceful, and an army must be left on the mainland. Therefore, only ten battalions of soldiers were recruited.

The guards took the seal and galloped away on horseback.

Yu Jing asked in surprise: "It turns out that Xingzhi, you have expected it a long time ago?" ”

"The year before last, the Jiaozhi faction wanted to humiliate my guards, and I expected it."

"Alas, the two Guangxi troops are insufficient, it is best to value peace, otherwise once it cannot be stopped, hundreds of thousands of people will be ruined, and it is not appropriate to confuse them," Yu Jing thought about it before and after, he was not stupid, and felt that the invasion of Jiaozhi was mostly caused by Zheng Lang's tough attitude.

"Sooner or later, there will be a battle, if I leave, Zhang Kang and other famous generals will also leave in the future, and the two Guangxi will be even more dangerous." Zheng Lang said. If we don't take precautions, a scene in history will continue to happen twenty years later, when Quang Nam West Road is more densely populated, and it is possible to increase the defense power, and there is a possibility that many times more people will die. If it's the latter, there will really be millions of corpses by then. But there is one thing in my heart, Yu Jing can govern the people, but he is too weak militarily.

Liangguang not only needs good officials, but also needs a minister who can be soft and hard.

Not only the Jiaozhi people, but also the expansion of the scale of development in the future, the dispute with the barbarians is inevitable, and with Yu Jing's attitude, it may lead to the occurrence of appeasement incidents by means of harming the Han households. If it was just a drawing on the map, as it was before, the imperial court would not care about Lingnan, but a large number of Han households came, which hurt their enthusiasm and allowed the Han households to return to the north again, and the big things were also done.

If that's the case, it's better to be impeached by Sun Luan.

Although this person became more and more greedy as he got older, in the end, he seemed to be forced by Xue Xiang to have to go to Shi and escape from Xue Xiang's fierce pursuit.

But he has a good hand at fighting thieves.

He once placed a gate in Qutang Gorge like a sword gate, and stuck in Kui Gorge to endanger the Three Gorges waterway. Wenzhou soldiers raided the border households many times, and the guards were afraid of trouble, so they mostly appeased them with cow wine, but Cui Yi was brave and strong, served his hair, and suddenly captured him, and there was no more internal affairs after that. There are several other cases, all of which were quickly suppressed by means of a thunderous blow, and the people of the state and county were safe.

It seems that he is wrong, if he leaves, he must transfer Yu Jing away.

In later generations, some people worshiped the sun and the United States, but at this time, Yu Jing repeatedly worshiped a small Jiaozhi, with this one, no matter how capable of governing the officials, he could not stay in Liangguang. Unless the two major bureaus have been decided.

"Come, discuss," Zheng Lang said, taking the officials to his tent.

Let everyone sit down, and then said to the two guards: "You take my seal letter, go to Lianzhou and Anyuan City, and convey my orders to Zhou Xin and Zhu Shoulong, so that no matter what, they must hold the two cities within twenty days without losing them." ”

"Whoa."

After the guards left, Zheng Lang swept over the faces of several people. said to Yu Jing: "Yu Jing, you stay in Guizhou, continue to preside over the affairs of Guangnan West Road, and spring ploughing and production are coming." There can be no delays, and there is this Acacia Dai. At the same time, he listened to my command and transferred grain and grass and logistics. ”

Yu Jing nodded.

He didn't understand war in the first place. It won't work if you go to the front.

Zheng Lang looked at the others again and said, "Cheng Shimeng, you go to Yulin Prefecture, Yandu, you go to Guizhou, Cai Ting, you go to Binzhou, Song Xian." If you go to Hengzhou, I will also go to Yongzhou. After each of you arrives at your respective state cities, pay attention to the movement ahead, and if the enemy army spreads to the rear, you must evacuate all the people to the major fortresses and cities at the first time, and then hold the city, the city is in the people. The city is dead, and the people are dead. Yu Jing, after you go to Guizhou, let Gao Weihe cooperate with your work to prevent some barbarians from taking the opportunity to make trouble. If there is any change, let me know as soon as possible. ”

Several people nodded at the same time.

What to do. Zheng Lang himself went to the front line, they were only on the second line, if they refused again, they would not be able to escape the charge of fearing the enemy.

Zheng Lang opened the box again, which contained official letters similar to leaflets, took them out, and said to Yu Jing: "Send officials to the major villages to read them, and then meet in Hengzhou and hand them over to Zhang Qi for arrangement." ”

Yu Jing quickly glanced at it and said, "It's not proper, it will make the people suffer a lot, so it's better to let the imperial court send reinforcements over." ”

"No, although the forbidden army sent by the imperial court is strong in combat, but the spring in the south is already deep, and the weather is getting hotter, even if there is medicine, it cannot be guaranteed to cure malaria 100%, coupled with the humid and hot climate, it will definitely increase many unnecessary casualties. The mortality rate is no less than that of an army organized by the common people. If you wait for the imperial court to send the army, even if the cavalry is transferred from the northwest, it will be at least two months later, and if you can't defeat the enemy at that time, the west road of Guangnan has been eroded. And in the future, there will not be many troops stationed in the south, and the forbidden army will be used, and it will not be suitable to come to the south, the local army will increase, and there will be signs of the Anshi Rebellion. Increasing the garrison will also increase the burden on the people. The Jiaozhi people must be made aware that even if the imperial court does not use hundreds of thousands of central forbidden troops, they can be defeated. Then they will be well-behaved later. ”

"But ......"

"Brother Andao, you don't understand military affairs, do what I say." Zheng Lang was slightly displeased. When has it arrived, it is still grinding. No wonder he did so many stupid things when he killed Nong Zhigao.

……

Several officials went to the south, and the officials began to read a strange document in the villages.

It's all written in spoken language, and most of the people can't understand it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zheng Lang, and I am here to read a mobilization order to you.

Guangnan West Road has beautiful mountains and clear waters, fertile land and abundant products. Everyone in the world says that it is a miasma land, but malaria has medicine to treat, mosquitoes have incense to drive, and it is not harmful. Today, with your hard work, the swamps have become fertile fields, the barren mountains have become tea plantations, the hills have begun to grow fruit trees, and the great rivers have become irrigated places.

A great tomorrow is coming.

In a few months, a bumper harvest is in sight, and in the next few years, there will be food to eat, silk to wear, fruit trees, tea trees, sugar cane, livestock, poultry, fish to raise and catch, but some people don't want you to live this good life, and some people want to destroy it.

It's Cochin.

The imperial court did not want to cause trouble on the border and bring disaster to the border people, so Jiaozhi invaded several times and came to our territory to burn, kill, and plunder. It has successively encroached on the territory of my Qiyuan, Guangyuan, Men, and Silang, and vainly sealed the three mountains of Xipingzhou, Dafa, and Wenxiang (Xipingzhou is located in the west of Pingxiang, located across the two countries of China and Vietnam in later generations, and there is Luzhou on the south side.

When Nong Zhigao was plotting chaos, Wu Er led 20,000 troops to settle on the right bank of the Pengjiang River, hoping to reap the benefits of the fishermen when the imperial army and Nong Zhigao were both defeated. Subsequently, the imperial court quickly defeated Nong Zhigao, and Jiaozhi sent an envoy to Xunzhou to provoke me.

Now that I see that Liangguang is about to prosper, I actually sent tens of thousands of troops to the north, intending to destroy your bright future, rob your wives and children, kill your families, and rob you of your wealth!

I issue a mobilization order to you, that all those who have two sons in their families and are over twenty years of age are invited to join the army and defend themselves against the enemy. In order to make up for your losses, once you are hired, the imperial court will issue you with weapons and armor, and each person will be rewarded with two pieces of cloth, five coins, and five stones of grain. The reward for killing one enemy is increased fivefold, and for killing two enemies, the reward is increased tenfold, and so on (referring to the Han households that must be selected, some of the Han households who migrated over grew up in the mountains, and some know some hunting skills, most of which can be used, but those who grew up in the plains, Jiangnan and have been stable for a long time, may not know how to bow horses, so as Yu Jing said, it is not to kill the enemy, but to send them to death).

From this order on, I went to Yongzhou, Zhou Xin and Zhu Shoulong were already in Qinlian Prefecture, Cheng Shimeng went to Yulin Prefecture, Yandu went to Guizhou, Cai Ting went to Pennzhou, and Song Xian went to Hengzhou. The city is in the people, the city is broken, and you are fighting hand in hand on the front line, only advancing, not half a step back.

Ladies and gentlemen, take up the broadsword in your hand, raise the bow and arrow in your hand, and go forward to repel these hateful invaders, and jointly defend your homeland and the safety of your relatives. Let the little Jiaozhi see the bravery of our Song people and the strength of the imperial court.

The rear army of the imperial court will also arrive in the near future and fight with you (it is true, Zhang Yu will arrive quickly with more than 10,000 troops).

Let our hands not only create a beautiful homeland, but also crush all invaders.

Go, let's fight together for the Great Song Dynasty, for His Merciful Majesty, for his homeland, for the dignity of a great country since ancient times, for his loved ones, and for a happy future!

Whether it was for the Song Dynasty to fight for Zhao Zhen and dignity may not be known, but homes and relatives are very important to ordinary people. Generous rewards are more important, but not rewards, but to make up for losses and boost their morale.

Yu Jing said that the common people had no combat effectiveness, because they saw the performance of the miscellaneous army against Nong Zhigao's army.

But it also depends on who leads it, let Yu Jing and Chen Shu lead it, and it will be completely different from Di Qing, Zhang Kang, and Zhang Qi. For example, Gao Jixuan used the border households as soldiers and defeated the Western Xia army, which was also the people. Of course, the people of Guangnan West Road are far less fierce than the people of Fuzhou. However, there are many people from the mountains, as well as local barbarians, and the fierce atmosphere should not be underestimated. It is not forced conscription, but let them participate spontaneously, and those who dare to come will not be too weak. Moreover, the barbarians stay together, if they are properly organized, they will go to the battlefield together, which is conducive to their integration of their relationships with each other and the formation of a family.

At first, there were not many people who participated, but Zhang Qi led the Song army to the south in batches, and finally many enthusiastic young people walked out of their homes and came to their respective counties to sign up.

If you sign up, you may not agree to let them join the army, you don't have certain martial arts, you don't know how to bow and arrows, and you don't accept those who are thin and weak. and if he is the only child in the family, he will not accept it. Those who are under 20 years old, or over 40 years old, will also not be accepted.

But there was a relaxation of the other category of people, and all prisoners who were imprisoned in the states and counties, and prisoners in the prison cities, who were not condemned to death, who joined the provisional army, and who showed bravery, were pardoned for their crimes after the war, and were rewarded with the same reward for killing the enemy as ordinary people.

The approach was very merciful and thoughtful, even though the enemy had already arrived.

There are also the efforts made by Zheng Lang in the past two years, and the people will not think much long-term, but Zheng Lang still sees all kinds of things in his eyes, and he has been on the road for most of the year, asking for warmth and warmth, and never putting on the frame of being the prime minister and important minister. In order to govern the two Guangzhous, this prime minister has suffered a lot.

And the confidence that comes with several great victories.

Groups of young children finally flocked to their respective county offices on a large scale, and after selection, they would form a stream of people, either from the land or by boat, and then flock to Hengzhou again. Then it was divided into several batches and advanced to Lianzhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou.

These people, in the end, will form a great wall of human flesh, and they will stop the Jiaozhi army from advancing half a step...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
