Daimyo's Mansion, Xu Yifan took the first town of Tianwei Army, rushed all the way from Kaifeng Mansion, and finally arrived at Daimyo's Mansion in a few days, and met with Sun Chuanting, Yang Chengzu and Cha Shu.

After arranging the garrison of the first town, Xu Yifan came to meet Sun Chuanting, and seeing Xu Yifan's arrival, Sun Chuanting finally let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Yifan, I finally looked forward to you, if you don't come here, I don't dare to leave the Tianwei Army half a step......"

The entire Tianwei Army, except for Zhu Jie, the person most admired by the soldiers is Xu Yifan, and only he can lead the Tianwei Army in the confrontation with the Qing Army, not falling behind, after all, the elite of the Eight Banners of the Manchurian Tartars is really not covered, where can the ordinary commander control the situation?

Xu Yifan asked in a deep voice, "Master Inspector, what is the situation with the Tartars in the north now?" ”

Sun Chuanting sighed and replied: "Yifan, the situation is not very good, Duoduo has led the main force of the Eight Banners and the Guanning Iron Cavalry to occupy Zhuozhou and Baoding one after another, and now it is advancing to the front line of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, at most it will take more than half a month, and it will arrive at the Daimyo Mansion, although our troops are not weak, but whether it is the Eight Banners Elite or the Guanning Iron Cavalry on the other side, all of them are our fierce enemies, if you want to hold the Daimyo Mansion and resist the enemy and Henan outside the border, it is not an easy thing, and the burden will fall on you......"

Xu Yifan's face was solemn, this task is really not light, two white flags and two blue flags, plus Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, the strength of the army reached 80,000, this is not 80,000 Li Zicheng's peasant army, but 80,000 hundred battle elites, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Guanning Iron Cavalry, it is enough for the Tianwei Army to drink a pot, the expansion of the Tianwei Army during this period is a little too fast, although it is the old foundation of Tongzhou Town, but after all, it is uneven, the newly entered peasant army surrendered to the army, the dedicated army and the newly recruited recruits, There are even some of the people left behind by the Qin army, mixed with fish and dragons, when the adults are there, the order is forbidden, and no one has ever dared to slack off, but can he have such prestige? Can you have the ability of an adult?

"Master Inspector, why don't you stay and coordinate the overall situation, how about I give you a military counselor on the side?"

Xu Yifan was somewhat lacking in confidence, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

Sun Chuanting shook his head and replied: "Yifan, don't be presumptuous, your family has clearly told me that your current strategy is no longer below him, the only thing you lack is the lack of prestige, just right, you have fought two beautiful victories here, one sentence to establish the prestige of the Tianwei Army, and at the same time establish your prestige!" As for me, I don't dare to delay for a moment, the matter in Nanjing is more complicated than here, whether it is Ma Shiying or Qian Qianyi, or those nobles, they are not easy to deal with, your family has made countless enemies in the past two or three years, and now the political situation has changed, it is the best time for them to make a move against Zhu Ming, and now he needs help the most! ”

While he was talking, a war horse ran directly to the prefect's yamen of the Daimyo's Mansion from far and near, turned over and fell off the horse, and shouted: "Nanjing 700 miles urgent!" Zhenguo Gong Military Order! ”

Xu Yifan and Sun Chuanting were stunned, at this time, how could Zhu Jie still have urgent military affairs?

The two of them hurriedly joined the yamen with the others.

"Dong Cheng? What is the purpose of running from Nanjing to the Daimyo's Mansion in such a hurry? Has Nanjing changed? ”

Dong Cheng took a breath and replied: "My lord, there is no change in Nanjing, it's just that Zhenguo Gong heard that all the grain and taxes and silver in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have gone north and been transported to Beijing along the Grand Canal, so he ordered me to send an urgent order for 700 miles, please be sure to intercept all the boats, and all the taxes and silver grains and grass will be transported to Nanjing!" ”

Sun Chuanting's heart jumped, and he said urgently: "It's broken!" How did I forget about it! ”

Xu Yifan asked, "Master Inspector, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Chuanting shouted: "Yifan, the annual tax silver imported to the imperial court in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is as high as five million taels, in addition, there are more than two million stone of grain transported to Beijing along the Grand Canal, every year into winter, as soon as the harvest in the field is over, the local government will send the collected grain and military funds to the capital in batches, and now the capital has fallen, the emperor has been martyred, the news has not been fully transmitted, all the cao transport ships are still thinking about the Beijing division to escort the taxes in various places, I am afraid that the first batch of taxes will have to arrive in Beijing!" ”

Xu Yifan's head was dizzy when he heard this, how can I say this, the taxes that have been collected from the local government are all the blood and sweat of the people, and they have been directly funded by the enemy?

"Master Overseer, we must immediately block the canal ferry!"

Xu Yifan shouted!

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Yes, act now!" Check the bolt, immediately deploy a battalion of troops, no, an infantry battalion, a cavalry battalion, immediately take over the Cao Yun Wharf of the Daimyo's Mansion, and strictly prohibit all Cao Yun ships from going north! ”

The situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went down to deploy!

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "This alone is not enough! Zheng Xingyun, lead the cavalry battalion under your command, all the way north along the canal, as long as it is a Cao transport ship, immediately order them to turn around and go south, if someone keeps ordering, you can take decisive measures, kill it, and take over the Cao boat! ”

Taxes calculated in millions of taels of silver, or even more, can't tolerate Sun Chuanting and Xu Yifan's carelessness, once they get these burdens, the Manchurian Tartars will undoubtedly be even more powerful!

"Yifan, next, how do you plan to deal with the attack of the Manchurian Tatars?"

Sun Chuanting asked.

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Master Inspector, in front of you, where do I dare to be arbitrary? Please teach me! ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and replied: "Yifan, the next step is for you to command the battle independently, I won't stay by your side, let me counsel for you in military affairs, it will undoubtedly miss your big thing, not to mention anything else, I can't predict the next Manchurian Tartar offensive......"

Xu Yifan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Inspector, now the Manchurian Tartars have occupied the capital, and even Zhuozhou and Baoding have been lost, all the way is like a bamboo, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the Tartars are fighting head-on, our victory or defeat is unpredictable, I mean to send a brigade of partial divisions, deep into the Baoding Mansion area, constantly stirring up riots in the south of Beijing, so that the Manchurian Tartars are in chaos, and they dare not attack the Daimyo's Mansion with all their might, not to mention anything else, as long as we hold on to the Daimyo's Mansion for more than two months, the Manchurian Tartars will always feel like a fish in their throats, Even if you want to advance your troops to the south, you must weigh it first, and we will cut off the consequences of his back road! ”

Sun Chuanting nodded with satisfaction, although this Xu Yifan is young, he really has the demeanor of his teacher Lu Xiangsheng, it is a good match, the cavalry sneaks up on the roundabout, and the infantry guards the daimyo, and it is a good means!
