Chapter 1196: Before the War
Kong Zhang's face showed a playful look, and he said leisurely: "From the careful care of the virtuous brother, I can see why Xuzhou has today's situation, but I am not afraid of your jokes, this time the virtuous brother you come, even if you don't have the old knowledge of the brother, you directly take the silver to buy, at most, it will cost an extra two to three percent, and you can still get so many livestock, it's just that you can't catch the few factory guards who missed the net." ā
"This is the important matter of your Confucian Mansion!"
"But what can be said, you see that the officials in the world have ever cared about the important things of the Ming Dynasty, either to make money or to protect their own family, don't they know that there are no eggs under the nest? I all know this truth, but everyone thinks that they don't have to do anything with themselves, and Confucius is also a virtue. Kong Zhang said with a smile.
Ji Xiang shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother Kong's friendship this time, the younger brother firmly remembers that Xuzhou will have a return, and I also ask Brother Kong to arrange a good guide, prepare all the grain and grass, and wait for the livestock to set off as soon as the little brother arrives, I don't know if this matter will implicate Brother Kong, if there are twists and turns, please also ask Brother Kong to wait for a few days, and it will be good after a few days." ā
After saying this, Ji Xiang turned over and got on the horse, and his own entourage came over to take the food box, and after hugging his fists, he beat the horse and walked away.
Watching Ji Xiang and them walk away, the cronies standing behind Kong Zhang came over and said, "They are only a thousand people, so they dare to touch the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers?" This group of Xuzhou people is really vicious, this is not fatal! ā
"Poor? Much richer than our Qufu, they don't want to die? Back then, a few hundred people leveled tens of thousands of thieves, do you think they are afraid? When Kong Zhang said these words, he looked radiant.
At noon the next day, all kinds of sacrifices inside and outside the city of Qufu are carried out, the so-called thousand-year-old inheritance always has some rituals and rules that are not found elsewhere, and there are many people in the Zhuangzi managed by Kong Zhang who sent all kinds of livestock, took the silver and left with a smile, after lunch, more than 1,000 people appeared outside the village, quietly took away the nearly two hundred livestock, each of them seemed a little sloppy and dirty, everyone was not light, under the leadership of the guide, in Qufu City went around a circle, avoiding those prosperous and crowded places, All the way to the west.
*************
As the Shandong officials and troops entered the Yanzhou Mansion and walked south step by step along the canal, the news about the officers and soldiers on this road became more and more clear, originally thought it was 11,000 soldiers and horses, but did not expect that there were 15,000 officers and soldiers, of which 7,000 were recruited Liao soldiers, and there were more than 2,500 cavalry, which almost swept all the Liaozhen cavalry who escaped across the sea.
When Liaozhen was defeated, generals at all levels and personal guards often had mounts, such people were not short of money, they were in a strong position, and naturally crossing the sea would be given priority, and they often had a good time after coming to Shandong, but they were certainly not as beautiful as Liaozhen, so they were not placed by Zhao Ziying, but they were staying up in Denglai and the two mansions, and Shandong would not ignore them, and they would take care of it some.
The governor of Shandong directly sent his staff to Linqingzhou and Liaocheng to sit in the town, and directly opened the treasury on the canal wharf for military resources, although these are the household grain, but in fact it is the benefit of all parties involved in Caoyun, dare to touch these is to touch the hornet's nest, and there are people in the local and court who make trouble, but they are quickly suppressed.
Some people want to go up, but they were found to be greedy for ink by Dongchang, some people want to make trouble in the locality, but they were set off by the local government to bring out the old case, although the original celebrant and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong was autocratic, but he also talked about some rules and tacit understanding, this time it was a little bit of a tear face, everyone was frightened, and many obstacles were immediately flashed, and a qiÄ became extremely smooth.
The large amount of military resources stored on Denglai's side, together with the treasury along the canal, supported the army to march all the way to Yanzhou Prefecture and along the canal south to Jining, and to Xuzhou's sphere of influence.
This march is different from the past, it is said that this kind of action is mainly led by Shandong's local soldiers and horses, led by Shandong general soldier Yang Guodong, Shandong's local soldiers and horses must take the initiative, and the forward and rear teams are the work of local soldiers and horses, but this time it is different, this time the first few battalions are mainly Liao soldiers, and all aspects are very supportive, there is no restriction on action, and there is no deduction in military resources.
Such an arrangement made the Liao generals in front of the sudden attack very high-spirited, a total of four battalions of 7,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 1,300 cavalry, a total of 6,000 and a guerrilla, all of whom were generals from Liao Town.
Guerrilla Tong Qingshan used to hang the title of general in Liao Town, and he also had the old photos in the court, and he could only make a thousand general jobs in Denglai Town, but he did not expect that this time the official was reinstated, and the future was great, he was better informed than the people below, and knew a motion, there was a meaning of placing soldiers and horses in Liao Town in Yanzhou Mansion in the past, if it can be done, it is a single general jurisdiction, which is equivalent to having an independent small situation.
Tong Qingshan knows this joint very well, if he can defeat the Xuzhou thief army this time, it is very likely that he will not leave, and then this rich Yanzhou Mansion will become a new Liao Town, and the Liao Town characters who are unwilling to do so will come over and defect, and when the time comes, it is natural to expand the jurisdiction, and it is not impossible to be promoted to deputy general and general soldier.
He can think of this, and the generals below can naturally think of it, everyone is very happy along the way, and even very dissatisfied with Yang Guodong's cautious march, and thinks that the soldiers should be fast, go south quickly, and be caught off guard by what kind of Xuzhou rebels.
"Second child, you said that if you followed the people of Xuzhou to farm last year, would you still have today's scenery?"
"Big brother, you have a good vision, if you didn't lead your brothers to hide in the past, and you were in battle anyway, how could our brothers have today's position, big brother, you followed the Tong general, and now you are President Qian, this battle is won, maybe it is the garrison, the capital, the guerrillas, and the generals are not impossible, and you can't forget the brothers when the time comes!"
"Tear your broken mouth, what do you mean to forget, our brothers escaped all the way from the hands of the Tartars, this is a friendship of life and death, how can you forget, our good days are still ahead!"
"This group of Shandong nephews has no eggs, you say that you are afraid of a Tartar, but you are actually afraid of what kind of township brave thieves, officials and soldiers are afraid of thieves, and they are not afraid of jokes when they spread it?"
"This time is the time for us to follow Tong Dashuai to make meritorious contributions, when the time comes, stay in Yanzhou, we will also overlord a city, and live back to the fairy days of Liao Town, what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, what is the chaos of Grandpa Zhengde at that time, what white-clothed soldiers, it is all cavalry, the toss of the north and south of the river, but our Liao soldiers have come to a thousand, and it is not light, I heard that the Xuzhou thieves in Jining have only more than 400 cavalry, and the rest are all foot soldiers, what are you afraid of, light yƬ flat!"
Behind the guerrilla Tong Qingshan, a Qian general chatted with the people around him, and the voice was so loud that Tong Qingshan heard it, he couldn't help frowning and turned around and said: "Zhou Tietou, you are also a person who has seen blood in battle, why are you so arrogant and underestimate the enemy, don't delay the general's business!" ā
Hearing this reprimand, Mr. Qian immediately leaned over with a hippie smile, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, the iron head is happy on my lips, and when you really want to go into battle to kill the thief, you will never be ambiguous, just let me take the lead!" ā
"What a handsome! Yang Dacai is a handsome, and I am a guerrilla! The guerrilla Tong Qingshan reprimanded him, but his face was full of smiles.
Seeing this expression, Mr. Zhou Qian was even more relieved, and couldn't help but lean in and said: "Dashuai, we will go to Jining in two days, why don't we go back to Dongpingzhou to rest, I heard people talk about it when I was in Dengzhou Mansion, and the girls over there are tender."
"Ridiculous! So close to the thief, you still want to visit the kiln, sink your mind, and wait for Jining, Yangzhou and Datong to be short, when you are happy! The guerrilla Tong Qingshan reprimanded him painlessly, and Zhou Qian nodded again and again.
is idling here, but I saw that there was a flag in front of the night not to collect the horse and fight the horse head-on, this is to go straight to the flag of the Chinese army, everyone has to give way, the front team officers and soldiers hurriedly shouted to avoid, the scout rode by when he shouted and said: "Ten miles ahead of the discovery of a large group of thieves, ten miles ahead of the brigade of thieves is moving forward!" ā
"So fast, I thought I'd run into it tomorrow!" That Zhou Qian always muttered.
Guerrilla Tong Qingshan's face was solemn, and he turned around and shouted: "Order all battalions to prepare to meet the enemy, today is the time for the world to let the world see the majesty of our Liaodi men!" ā
The general manager below, even together with the Liao soldiers, shouted excitedly, and Tong Qingshan ran towards the direction of Shuai Qi surrounded by the guards, since he was about to engage in battle, the main general Yang Guodong must have some arrangements.
The place where Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Shandong, was on the side of the army, and the general Qian, who took the head of the elite battalion, and the guerrillas and generals who presided over the side, were all qualified to participate in this discussion, and when Tong Qingshan arrived, a new order had been handed down, and the army continued to move forward, and lined up to meet the enemy at the position of three miles.
When it comes to the strength of the elite, the leaders of several battalions of the Liao soldiers are not bad, but the general soldier Yang Guodong only called Tong Qingshan, which also meant that they should be arbitrary and self-determined, so as not to give orders that would be contrary to the yang and the yin.
"The Xuzhou thieves are so arrogant and reckless, they don't know how to guard Jining, and they don't fight according to the city, so they rush over to fight in a daze?"
"It's coming too fast, are they in a hurry except to sleep? They are not short of carriages and horses, and they also have the help of the people, so it is right to go fast. ā
When Tong Qingshan got off the horse and walked over, he heard a group of people discussing, it is said that such a big event, Denglai Bingbeidao should be present as a supervising army, but from the time of sending troops to the present, the Denglai Bingbeidao with the title of right political participation has never appeared in the army, according to Tong Qingshan's understanding, this supervising army also came, but it has always lagged behind the distance of a state and county in the army.
