Chapter 1022: Gathering in All Directions
On the road from Tianchi in Changbai Mountain to Shengjing, countless Manchu warriors and wise men of the older generation who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests came out, either sending their children and grandchildren to join them, or going out themselves.
They didn't show off, they just felt that when the Manchu Empire was full of flowers, they sought peace of mind and retreated to the mountains and forests, which was good!
Now that the country is in trouble, they need to go out of the mountains to maintain stability, so they will come out, as it should be, of course, it's not bad!
As for the three requirements of the Holy Decree, they did not feel that there was anything abnormal.
They don't think it's madness, as the Regents understand.
At the moment of life and death, let alone ten years old, seven or eight years old still have to pick up arms and fight!
If you don't resist and you will be killed, is it said that resistance is madness?
As for money and food, it is even more necessary to bankrupt and support the front line.
Those on the front line are all soldiers, do you want them to fight hungry?
It is better for the people in the rear to go hungry than for them to face the enemy and find food at the same time!
Those in the rear can at least go into the mountains in search of food.
So, they all had all the money, all the men of the right age, from 10 to 60 years old.
After arriving in Shengjing, they realized that their journey was only a part.
The Governor of Shengjing went to the front line, and was required by the holy decree of Bai Wenzong, the governor of heaven, and the governor Qi En.
As the guardians of the imperial family, they must be obligated to support the emperor and do their best.
Speaking of Fengtian Province, it is also vast.
Fengtian Province is almost a square area, 1,800 miles wide from east to west, and 1,750 miles from north to south.
There are eight prefectures in total. There are 14 prefectures, departments and counties in Zhili, and 33 subordinate counties.
Shengjing is the capital of Mukden Province and the capital of Mukden Province.
Sheng Jing took the lead in carrying out the holy decree, and the rest of the prefectures, prefectures, departments, and counties had no excuses, and they did their best to provide people, money, and food. Then they converge to Shengjing, or in various places southeast of Shengjing, where it is necessary to go to the front.
When Snake 350 returned to Shengjing, there were already more than a million people with heart diseases here, all of whom were residents of nearby prefectures and counties.
Other prefectures and counties that are far away have also boarded the journey and will gather here one after another.
Because the time is particularly urgent, Qi En has already selected 200,000 elites, and he will set off immediately!
From Shengjing to Huaibei. The whole journey is about 3,000 miles, and Qi En asked them to rush to the front line within ten days, otherwise they will be punished by military law for the crime of delaying the military aircraft!
Snake 350 personally led the way for the advance team, he knew the shortest shortcut, and he also knew where there might be obstacles from the heavenly army, and the only way to take a shortcut was to take a shortcut. Avoiding the Heavenly Army, it is possible to reach Huaibei within ten days. Rescue the emperor from danger.
The commander of the advance team, Qi En appointed Tie Shan as the commander, and the iron rooster and iron rooster were the chief military division and deputy commander respectively, and went together.
The members of the bandit suppression squad and the Pegasus Gang have all become members of the Hu Cong Brigade.
All of them have been promoted to the next level, and they are all officially recognized as official positions.
At this critical time. These Manchu officials also showed a great deal of flexibility.
At the same time, in the two farther provinces of Jilin and Yulongjiang, there were also two black-clothed special people who went to convey the holy decree.
In the northeast region, including the three northeastern provinces, including Mukden, the Manchu Qing Dynasty generally implemented the military government system. That is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent generals to be stationed in the three provinces of Fengtian, Jilin, and Weilongjiang to manage military and civil affairs, and to implement the autonomy of the banner people under the military government system.
And this flag people, in essence, is a grassroots unit that integrates military and civilian, or it can be called a military unit.
General Jilin's practice was decent, and after receiving the holy decree, he and Snake 351 worked together to recruit troops, collect money, and collect grain in accordance with the holy decree, and it was difficult to achieve great results without three days and five days.
With this kind of slow action, Snake 351 has no choice, as long as General Jilin County sends a member of Qianzong to take away the 10,000 that were gathered at the earliest, and rush to Huaibei.
The black-clothed envoy Snake 352, who went to the Weilongjiang River, directly found the general Bahai of the Longjiang River.
The ancestor of Bahai was the famous general Ningguta, who resolutely counterattacked the aggression of Tsarist Russia and was the mainstay of defending the Lulong River and Jilin.
Since his ancestors, his family has held the frontier for generations, making it the number one obstacle for careerist adventurers who spied on Chinese territory.
When the general of Lulongjiang, who took it as his mission to ensure the security of the border, saw the holy decree, he immediately darkened his face and sternly questioned Snake 352: "If all the soldiers here are withdrawn, what will happen if Tsarist Russia invades the border?"
Snake 352 knew Bahai's intention to hold the frontier, and said lightly: "How do I know! I only know the requirements of the holy decree, that is, to send all men who meet the age requirements to the front! If there is a disobedience, it will be punished for disobeying the decree!"
"Could it be that when you came, no one told you that the border defense of the Lulong River was very important? If you miss here, the entire three northeastern provinces will definitely not be protected! Could it be that the emperor doesn't want his home?" asked Ba Hai angrily.
He couldn't help but be angry, it seemed that he had guarded the frontier for the Qing Dynasty for generations, and he didn't put it in the eyes of these big people who were in the center.
If you pay a little attention, you won't send people here to draw troops.
I don't have enough here, do you know?
Before this, he really had the idea of asking the court for help.
Because he saw that the White Russian army on the opposite side had been moving frequently in recent times, and it seemed that there was going to be a big military operation.
His current garrison of 30,000 was scattered along a long border.
These 30,000 defenders seem like a lot, but they are scattered in the defense line of more than a hundred miles, and there are only more than a hundred people in each stronghold.
If the aggressor had been a little smarter and concentrated a little more on the assault, the defenders would not have been able to stop this at all.
It turned out that he had 10,000 cavalry as his rear hand, which could be used as a place for his mobile troops to rush to help, but unfortunately he was transferred away during the first desperate order.
Not monotonously gone, Bahai also knew that they had been wiped out.
Because his 10,000 cavalry was also concentrated in the cavalry group army led by Qi Shanshuai, and after only one battle, they were all wiped out by Hu Yihuang's cavalry.
Tears of his heart many times!
Because there are not only all the cavalry he has poured his heart and soul into for many years, but also his eldest son!
His eldest son's name was Ba Yang, and he was the commander of this ten thousand cavalry!
After Mai Ke subdued Jiang Jizhou, Jiang Jizhou betrayed his son-in-law to Mai Ke as a meeting gift.
Sure enough, the prestige of the old father-in-law was unparalleled for a while, Zhang Zhongjing's descendants and contemporaries advocated one hand, and Zhang Heng's descendants and contemporaries advocated Tian Yuan, as soon as they heard the call of their father-in-law, they immediately came to the Jiang family's compound.
They don't dare to disobey the call of the old man, otherwise a "Mount Tai" will be overwhelming, although it will not be shattered, chickens and dogs will inevitably jump.
The two hurried over, only to see the old father-in-law drinking with the two of them.
One person knows it, and that is the head of the Zhuge family who usually has very little road surface.
The other young man had never met before, and he didn't know where it was sacred, but the golden knife of Malaysia sat on the main seat, and the old man who was the master was sitting sideways, toasting cloth dishes and smiling faces.
Jiang Jizhou saw that the two of them were not slow, and he was also satisfied, so he smiled and asked the two to sit down, of course, it was also a horizontal fight.
Erzhang feels weird everywhere, the old man is not so approachable on weekdays!
Zhang Tianyuan and Zhang sat down with one hand, out of politeness, nodded to Mai Ke, and then bowed to Zhuge Xuanji, and then said to Jiang Jizhou: "I don't know if my father has recruited my son-in-law to come, what is there to send?"
Jiang Jizhou smiled, kept talking about it, and said: "It's not me who sent you, but he sent you! Even I was sent by him, and there was also the head of the Zhuge family, so in front of him, where would I dare to send it." ”
The two turned to Mai Ke again: "Where are you sacred, Lord Yue, who came to send us? Not a liar?" Both of them are technocrats, and if they have anything in their hearts, they will express it directly, and then look at Mai Ke with a straight glare, and they have the meaning of disagreeing and starting to fight immediately.
"Hehehe! I have seen the two heads of the family! The holy doctor Zhang Gongzhongjing and the sage Zhang Gongheng are very respectful, and when I see their descendants today, I will accept my gift if I see them in my life!"
At that moment, Mai Ke stood up and gave the two of them a deep look.
The two of them were also very happy to see this guy's sincere respect for their ancestors, and hurriedly returned the salute.
People are paying tribute to their ancestors, and of course they must return the gift on behalf of their descendants, otherwise it will be too unsympathetic.
Unexpectedly, what the young man said next scared the two of them, they originally stood up and returned the salute, and when they were finished, Li Gang was about to sit down, and he was so frightened that he sat down half of his body, and immediately rebounded back!
"I'm Mai Ke, the chief of the Heavenly Army!"
Oh my god, how did this killing god come here?
The children of the two Zhang families have their own business all over the country, so the news is very well-informed, and Mai Keqi has already communicated their intelligence network and summarized it to the headquarters of the Erzhang family, so although the two family heads saw the real person for the first time today, his name has already been like thunder.
Since the two of them were so frightened that they stood up, they pushed the boat down the river and hurriedly revisited Mai Ke: "I don't know if Mai Ke is in person, I can't meet him from afar, there are many rudenesses, don't be surprised if you offend!"
Mai Ke waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, I don't care about small things, as long as the big festival is not lost, it's easy to say!"
The second Zhang is like falling into the fog for five miles, and he doesn't know what his big festival is.
Zhuge Xuanji and Jiang Jizhou of course know that the so-called big festival is just one word, which is beneficial to the kingdom of heaven!
They looked at the confused Erzhang, and didn't elaborate, just woke him up and told him to continue listening to Mai Ke.
So Mai Ke told him the purpose of the kingdom of heaven and the benefits for the converts.
