Chapter 53: The Leader Takes the Rank
(The third watch, asking for red tickets)
Lin Jian opened his eyes, the sun was shining in his eyes, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, he didn't expect that after sleeping for so many hours, the sun had risen high. He narrowed his eyes and saw a beautiful and immature face in the multicolored glow, staring at him with eyes as clear as a spring flowing through a valley in winter. Seeing Lin Jian open his eyes, the owner of this eye dodged in fright.
Lin Jian saw clearly that it was the little county lord of Yun Yan, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the county lord of Yan!" I don't know when the little girl ran to the city tower, saw her dodge, yawned, and then saw Zhenguo General Yun Jianhai, Yangxinzhi County Zhang Jinxian, County Lieutenant Cheng Weiyuan, and Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and others standing together, looking like they had been waiting for a long time, stood up and handed over Da Yu to the guards, bowed to Yun Jianhai, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others, and said, "How long have I slept?" I'm really damned for letting General Zhenguo wait with you for a long time," and blamed the guard, "why don't you wake me up?" β
"It's no wonder that the strong men are all in charge. Lord Lin has worked hard for more than ten days to keep the yang faith, and only today did he sleep soundly and sleep soundly, how could I bear to wake up Lord Lin? Zhang Jinxian replied.
Yun Jianhai was also full of smiles, as long as the captives retreated, he was in an extra good mood, and seemed to forget that hundreds of people in the Lu Wangfu had died in Jinan. He doesn't take the shelf of the clan either, no matter how bad his perception of Lin Jian is, he also knows who can keep Yangxin who is the biggest hero. If he didn't even have this bearing, he would be a disciple of the clan in vain.
Lin Jian saw that Zhou Pu also came to the North City Tower, and asked, "Who is in charge of the Zhulongpo camp?" β
"Ge Ye is guarding the ship in Zhulong Bay, I came over with Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingshan stayed outside the city," Zhou Pu replied, "Na He Xiong Qi is much more cunning than last time, it is easy not to contact the rout, and we have never found a chance to engage with it, just before a stick of incense, Na He Xiong Qi led the troops of the palace to leave, do you want to pursue?" β
"The Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shaowu Army all went to Zhulongpo to assemble and rest and camp before noon, and prepare for the pursuit......" Lin Jian looked up at the sky, "The scouts will reconnoiter first, and report back in time if there is a major military situation!" After the situation is clarified, decide whether to pursue or not! β
The Dongyu suffered a setback in this battle, and it was impossible to continue to advance eastward, and the elite in Lin Lian's hands who could be used for field pursuit was only 24,500 people.
Ye Ji Duodi and Na He Xiongqi completely withdrew from Yangxin's cavalry, and there were more than 3,000 people.
After the rebels are dispersed, it is difficult to retract, except for military attaches and generals, for ordinary soldiers, most of those who can escape home while the chaos will not follow the captives to the bitter cold land. This is also the main reason why Lin Jian finally gave up the pursuit and mainly controlled the battlefield.
In last night's battle, the defenders did not have the ability to cover all the captives who dismounted and fought in armor in the narrow area of the valley, even if they did not consider the receiving troops sent by the eastern and southern fronts, Ye Ji Duodi and Nahe Xiongqi could almost gather more than a thousand captives to go back.
After Yangxin was besieged, the channels west of Yangxin and Zhangqiu were blocked, and the scouts could not penetrate, but in early February, the troops of the Dongyu in Jinan, Jihe, and Dezhou were as many as 40,000 people, and they were more than 200 miles away from Yangxin. Lin Jian couldn't even figure out how many troops Dongyu had stationed in Jiyin County.
The specific situation is dark, and Lin Jian is full of food and sends troops to pursue?
Whether you want to pursue it or not, the situation of the pursuit is to be made, and as for whether you really want to pursue, you must also let the generals who have guarded so many Tiancheng rest and recuperate, and find out the dynamics in the west before considering.
Lin Lian looked at Zhulongpo in the northwest direction of Yangxin, Nahe Xiongqi did not set fire to the camp until the last moment, and immediately withdrew from Zhulongpo after arson, there was no wind at night, and the fire was not strung together, but three or four camps were kept, which was convenient for the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shaowu Army to be stationed in the body.
"Are there any supplies to be snatched from the enemy camp?" Lin Jian asked Zhou Pu.
"Fortunately, the fire did not spread, and when Nahe Xiongqi withdrew, he was also in a hurry, several camps were burned down from the outside, and the inside was not burned through, and there were a lot of materials saved, and the grain and grass were enough for the captives to besiege Yangxin for another ten days and half a month." Zhou Pu said.
"That's good," Lin Jian said, "Except for the ordnance, all the other materials will be handed over to Yangxin County to take over." Since the defense of the city, the people in the city have also suffered a lot with us, and we would rather suffer some losses in everything, but also compensate the people first, and we can't let the people suffer......" and asked Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, and Chen Dingbang, "What do you think of this arrangement?" β
"It's all up to Lord Lin!" Zhou Tong, Geng Quanshan, and Chen Dingbang said in unison.
This kind of military seizure, the local people have almost no right to speak, Yuan Jianhai only looked stunned, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and others thanked on behalf of the people of Yangxin.
Lin Jian said: "The people in the city are all meritorious in defending the city, and when they give relief, they hope not to separate each other. β
Yangxin is a small city, there are more than 1,000 people in Dingkou in the city, and the vast majority of them are homeless people who have entered the city to avoid military disasters, among which there are Yangxin people, and there are also many people who fled from Yannan.
"Of course, Yangxin County will never be biased and divide each other," Zhang Jinxian said, "There are many dead horses outside the city, I just begged General Ao for thousands of catties of horse meat, put them in a porridge pot and boil them together!" It's a celebration! I haven't said a word to Lord Lin yet. β
"Now that the Dongyu has withdrawn its troops, the supply can be relaxed, not only today's meal with horse meat, I think you can add horse meat to your meal, until you eat it up - this horse meat can't be kept until next month. I will go and thank the people of the city for their courage and courage to help our troops defend the city," Lin Jian said, "The supplies of the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army do not need Yang Xin to bear." In addition, now go to Dengzhou quickly, and then buy grain from Dengzhou and go to Yangxin, seven or eight days should be enough...... In addition, the people who helped defend the city and their merits should be rewarded extralytically, and I hope that Yang Xin can draw up the list in the next two days, and if the captured military funds are insufficient, I will find a way. The promise has been fulfilled. β
In order to ensure that the city can be held for a long time, when guarding the city, Lin Jian will hold the rice grain in the whole city in his hands, centralized control, the ordinary people in the city give two meals of porridge a day, and the average food supply per person per day is only four taels (a quarter of a catty), just to ensure that they barely starve to death, many people have been so hungry that they began to appear swollen.
For this battle to defend the city, there are not a few people who demolish houses and destroy houses, and the casualties of the people who went to the city to help defend are more than 1,000 people, without these people's bravery, it is impossible for the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army to maintain such strong combat effectiveness in the enemy's seven-day siege, and Lin Jian can't pat his ass and leave.
Refugees want relief, to rebuild their homes, to defend the city and the brave people to be rewarded, the dead or disabled in the war must be compensated, now that the captives have withdrawn from the siege, Lin Jian naturally wants to give priority to the captured materials to make up for Yangxin.
The Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army also suffered many casualties in the battle to defend the city, and Lin Jian used all the captured materials to replenish the army, and there was nothing to say locally. After all, the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army fought to defend Yangxin, ensuring that Yangxin did not fall into captivity. It should be the Yangxin place to pay the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jinzhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army, not the Jiangdong Left Army, the Jin Zhong Army, and the Shao Wu Army in turn to subsidize the captured materials.
Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan didn't expect Lin Lian to be so sympathetic to the place, and while listening to Lin Lian's instructions, they thanked him with gratitude and excitement.
If this battle is fought like this, Yangxin is slightly better than those cities that have been breached.
This time, including Jinan Mansion, Pingyuan Mansion, Xingzhou Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Baoding Mansion, there were almost fifty or sixty counties captured by the captives, and even if the imperial court would eventually give a pension, it was impossible to have much pension money distributed to Yangxin. In the face of the devastated Yangxin, without silver, it was difficult to survive the most difficult moment after the war.
Now Lin Jian has brought all the captured materials that should have been the army to the place, which is really the biggest problem for Yang Xin.
Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan have a deeper understanding of the demeanor of famous ministers and generals who cherish the world embodied in Lin Lian.
"There is one more thing that I want to ask the adults to decide......" Ning Zechen said.
"What's the matter?" Lin Jian asked.
Ning Zechen asked: "Whether to cut off the captives and rebels outside the city together, or only the heads of the captives, it is still difficult for everyone to choose for a while, and it is up to the adults to decide." β
"Rebels are more hateful than captive soldiers, and it is also a matter of course to be graded and meritorious service after the war, so what's not to do?" Yuan Jianhai was afraid that Lin Jian would be soft-hearted, so he grabbed it and said.
The direct reason for the fall of Jinan was the defection of the Zhejiang soldiers, can Yuan Jian Haiyan not hate the rebels?
In addition, the guards of the Lu Wangfu also participated in the defense of the city, and this defense of the city was naturally indispensable to Yuan Jianhai, who was a child of the clan. The first-level merit is the most important military merit, and it is already quite benevolent and righteous for them not to kill the good and take the merit, is there still a reason why the first rank on the ground does not pick it up?
Lin Jian looked at Yuan Jianhai's interjection attitude, thinking that they might have quarreled over this issue. Lin Jian didn't think about it at this time, and didn't ask what the specific results were, and asked Ning Zechen: "In the battle last night, how many enemies did we kill?" β
"567 captives were killed, 1,486 rebels were killed, 1,171 rebels were killed, and more than 6,000 people were killed......," Ning Zechen said.
"Those killed by the rebels shall be given the rank of military attache above the rank of commander; The captives were all ranked...... "Lin Jian didn't explain anything to Yuan Jianhai.
It is not a pity that the defector died, but Lin Jian did not want to use the head of the defector to show off his military exploits.
The defenders of Linqing surrendered without a fight, the Zhejiang soldiers fled from the battle, and after the surrender, they were driven to death by the thieves under Yangxin City, in Lin Bin's view, this is not a military achievement that can be shown off, this is a shame that is difficult to wash away for this nation.
Besides, it's enough to accumulate merit, why do you want so many heads?
There are only so many heads among military attachΓ©s above the rank of commander, and Yuan Jianhai was puzzled when he saw that Lin Jian had given up his military merits, but he couldn't say anything.
Lin Jian said to Ning Zechen and the others: "You have detained all the soldiers there, take me to see ......"
