Nanjing City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing at the head of the city, Xu Xi, the Duke of Dingguo, looked at the flaming Qinhuai River in the distance expressionlessly, and did not move, beside him was Xiong Mingyu, who temporarily replaced the Nanjing Military Department, and the stiff bodies of the two stood at the head of the city, like two iron men.

"What, don't send troops to the rescue?" Xiong Mingyu asked sarcastically.

"There are not enough troops, so we can only hold on and wait for reinforcements." Hearing the other party's tone, his face twitched, and then he replied coldly.

Now that all the eunuchs guarding the town outside have been recalled, the power in the Nanjing area has all fallen on these two people, and the two of them will decide with one word. It's just that, judging from the current atmosphere, it seems that there is a faint discord between the two.

"Not enough troops?" Xiong Mingyu smiled sarcastically, "Then Wang San gathered a group of sea bandits, and he was able to fight the Dingguo Gong who had been guarding the southeast for generations?" Can't even protect the grain? ”

"The Xiong Soldier Department doesn't know, now that the Southeast Guard is in decline, it is difficult to protect itself, how can he send troops to suppress it, he can only wait for the Beijing Division to come to help." Xu Xi didn't move, but his expression softened slightly.

"Hehe, it's hard to protect yourself. Lord Guogong is really a good example of the world's grace, but the lessons of Chengguo Gong are not far away, and I hope that Dingguo Gong will not delay himself. Xu Xi's answer made Xiong Mingyu laugh loudly, there was an indescribable ridicule in the laughter, and after a cold sarcastic sentence, he threw his sleeves and went down to the city alone.

He was really angry enough by these noble moths, and now the state affairs are difficult, and the military affairs in Liaodong are declining, these nobles who have received the grace of the country do not want to serve the country, but have pinched the soldiers and horses in their hands, in order to consolidate themselves, which is really disgusting.

Xiong Mingyu actually knew very well about the wreckage outside the city, it was not a real wit at all, they were all sea bandits pretending, and now they were just taking advantage of the fact that all the southern sailors were drawn to the north, and they were unable to attack and plunder.

But now that the imperial court is defeated, the army is humiliated in Liaodong, almost the entire Liaodong is abandoned, the news spreads, the south is shaken, these bandits are seizing this opportunity, and they are almost controllable. Of course, it's not the sins that matter, it's more important to be the deals behind the scenes.

Xiong Mingyu, who is from Nanchang, is also half of the Jiangnan person, and he has vaguely heard about the mastermind behind this time, and it seems that these storms and rains are all caused by the Moling Wang. As a local weaving family, the Moling Wang clan has hundreds of mechanics in their hands, and they used to sell silk overseas, which was quite germinating, but because they were involved in the Red Pill case, they were regarded as traitors, and the whole family fled overseas.

I thought that at most there were many exiled families, but I didn't expect that the other party would gather such a large number of bandits and go ashore to loot.

The entire surrounding prefectures and counties at the Nanzhili level were unmoved, and none of them sent troops to encircle and suppress them, and all of them closed the city gates, allowing thousands of bandits to crisscross the southeast, as if they were in a no-man's land. Even the guards are the same, the military department goes down, it is like child's play, and it is difficult to resist the bandits, so they also watch from the wall.

What a shame, a shame! Xiong Ming thought with hatred, but there was no way, now the empire is pouring into Liaodong, and bandits are rampant in the south of Zhili, and there is also a Tusi rebellion in the southwest, which is really eventful. Xiong Mingyu was also a new appointer who drove ducks to the shelves, and he couldn't control the soldiers of the guards who had become corrupt and degenerate, so he could only watch thousands of bandits wreak havoc, crisscrossing the southern country for thousands of miles, as if entering a no-man's land.

Tianjin Port!

As soon as Admiral Yu Zhigao came back, he began to be busy, replenishing ammunition, summarizing experience, supplying materials, and a series of busy affairs, which kept him busy, and at the same time, he also had to prepare ships to carry Qin Liangyu and his white pole soldiers to the southeast to quell the rebellion.

About a few months in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Qin Liangyu was withdrawn to Liaodong to help, but when he first arrived at Shanhaiguan, Wanli hung up, and then there was a series of things, Qin Liangyu arrived at Shanhaiguan and no one passed, she did not have an order from the Ministry of War, and she could not leave or leave the customs on her own, so she stayed in Shanhaiguan all the time.

In history, during this period, Qin Liangyu's two younger brothers went out of the customs and fought with the Tartars, one of the younger brothers Qin Bangping died in battle, and the other broke through after the younger brother Qin Minping, and later because of the loss of troops, Qin Liangyu came to support with 3,000 soldiers and horses again. Later, when the imperial court saw that the Tusi soldiers and horses were fierce, they asked Qin Liangyu to return to his hometown to recruit troops, so in September of the first year of the Apocalypse, Qin Liangyu returned to his hometown with another younger brother Qin Minping to recruit troops.

At this time, it coincided with the rebellion of Hao Chongming, and Qin Liangyu was ordered to put down the rebellion.

Of course, these are things from the past history, this time and space due to Zhu Youxiao's actions, in the first year of Taichang, after Qin Liangyu and his two younger brothers, he did not go out to fight, but stayed in Shanhaiguan. And Zhu Youxiao didn't know this, he just passed by Shanhaiguan on the way back and saw this name by chance.

This look made him interested, but he didn't expect the famous female general at the end of the Ming Dynasty to be in Shanhaiguan at this time, and the soldiers and horses under his command, he counted them, there were about 6,000 people, all of them were Tusi soldiers and horses composed of young people over there in Sichuan, fierce in nature, and quite good in combat effectiveness, although the battle of the large corps was not as good as the Yulin Army, but it was stronger than the soldiers and horses of Liaodong by more than one grade.

When he saw these soldiers and horses, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhu Youxiao's mind, aren't these people the best candidates to deal with the Southeast Pirates.

The Yulin Army practiced the battle of the large corps, and was good at face-to-face toughness, but it was not very good at dealing with scattered personnel such as pirates, and there were more people, some waste, and there were fewer people who went, and it didn't work, these Tusi soldiers and horses were good at cooperating with each other in small groups, and they were the best candidates, and the number of six thousand people was just right.

So as soon as his heart moved, Zhu Youxiao took Qin Liangyu back to Beijing and ordered him to go to Tianjin Port, and Yu Zhigao sent troops to transport them to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and cooperate with each other to jointly suppress the invading Japanese invaders.

"Mrs. Ma, how is your army preparing?" Yu Shigao asked politely. Qin Liangyu's surname is Ma, so Yu Zhigao is so commensurate.

"It's all ready, Your Majesty is so kind and has given you such excellent equipment, the Erlang can't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy." Qin Liangyu looked at the Sichuan Tusi soldiers behind him who kept stroking the cuirasses and steel swords on their bodies, and there was a smile on their faces.

Although the emperor had not yet incorporated them and given them a formal grading establishment like the Yulin Army, he gave them a lot of equipment and weapons, which made Qin Liangyu's heart feel good for a while.

Tusi soldiers and horses have a fierce temperament, because they gallop in the mountains and forests all the year round, and their physique is also very strong, but they suffer from the lack of good swords and armor, and every time they kill the enemy, they can only use the white-roded spears that can be seen everywhere, and the casualties are very large. This is also the source of the name of her white pole soldiers.

All this is not because of the distrust of the imperial court, and he does not dare to fully arm these soldiers and horses of the young people, but for these, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care anymore, and the hundred steel swords that have been forged many times are distributed like flowing water, and the cast iron cuirass is the same, which makes these Tusi soldiers and horses who have never had such luxurious equipment happy for a while.

"Alright, let's go!" Yu Zhigao also replied with a smile, his heart was also excited, this time was a good opportunity for him to kill the battlefield again, and it was still on the side of his main army, which was really happy.

Whining!

The trumpet sounded, led by ten gunboats, two clippers cruising on both sides, followed by a large number of fortune ships, and the huge naval fleet set out again, this time aiming at Nanjing.

Not only did they have to suppress the rebellion there, but they also had to build a port where their soldiers could transport grain from the sea. The interruption of the transportation is also good news, and it can be directly changed to sea transportation in the future.

"It's almost time for the navy to set off, with Yu Zhigao and Qin Liangyu, don't worry over there, the key is the Lu'an Rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou." Zhu Youxiao looked at the official document in front of him with a headache, and he couldn't pay attention to it in his heart.

As soon as he came back, he was greeted not by the life he enjoyed, but by the countless backlogs of official documents, the cabinet, Hebei Province, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and several departments piled up many documents, which required Zhu Youxiao to browse the imperial approval.

Especially the three departments of the Cabinet, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, now the administrative level has just been promoted, and there can only be some changes, the past stereotypes cannot be applied, everything needs to be re-run-in, and the accumulation of time is re-relied on, so in the beginning stage, the exchange of documents is very frequent, but at this time, Zhu Youxiao went to the imperial driving to recruit in person.

It's just a no-brainer! Several bigwigs scolded their mothers in their hearts, but they had no choice but to wait for the emperor to come back. Fortunately, this time the emperor's expedition went very smoothly, and several bigwigs could throw the burden to the emperor in a happy mood and wait for the ruling from above.

Therefore, on the second day after his return, Zhu Youxiao issued several holy decrees in a row, determined the grade, and established a new government agency. Adjusted the defense area of the Jingshi City Defense Army.

With Zhu Youxiao's approval and approval, the next political reform went smoothly, and many backlogged political affairs were all handled, and then a document was issued to convey it below.

In this way, after holding back in Qianqingmen for three whole days, Zhu Youxiao finally finished dealing with trivial matters, and then he had the mood and leisure to consider the chaos of luxury and peace far away in the world.

"Or, wait for Qin Liangyu to go back and suppress it after the rebellion in the southeast?" Zhu Youxiao thought casually, but as soon as he thought that there was a naval battle involved in the south, and there was also grain, or that the Jinyi guards would be dispatched to arrest the colluding personnel at that time, it would not be able to calm down for a while, so he extinguished this thought.

Qin Liangyu is not available!

Then, let Li Yuyu take the Yulin Army to suppress it himself? Another thought popped up. It's just that after the Yulin Army leaves, can the 30,000 city defense troops alone ensure the safety of Gyeonggi?

"If there are not enough manpower, we will form another field army, and the candidates will ...... Just Li Tao, this kid has good psychological quality, mental arithmetic ability, and mathematical ability, which is suitable for being an artillery commander, so he will be used to form a pure firearms unit, try the idea of a cannon without conscience, and Xu Guangqi should also ask, after so long, I don't know if the range of the musket has improved. ”

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao finally made up his mind and let Li Tao also take charge of an army alone to form a new field army, and then Li Yuyu and Ou Shuai's army went out to quell the rebellion, so that he could take care of both ends and exercise the command ability of his descendants.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done in this preparation, and Sichuan and Guizhou will have to wait for a while.
