When Bianliang was ill and rushed to the hospital, he issued an unthoughtful edict to Wang Shizhong, allowing him to act cheaply and discuss with the Han Ministry on behalf of the privy council about the reinforcement of the generals. Due to the chaotic situation at that time, the envoys out of the city were blocked by the rebellion on the way, and made a detour until the end of the leap month of 1678 before reaching Dengzhou.

After Wang Shizhong got the edict, he asked Yang Yingqi, and when Yang Yingqi got the news, the bad news of the fall of Bianliang also came.

At this time, although Yu Qi went back, the Song court sent a number of civil and military officials one after another, and Hu Yin had not yet returned. These Great Song courtiers who were stranded in Jinmen cried loudly when they heard that Bianliang had fallen and Emperor Song had surrendered. Hu Yin took the lead in writing to Yang Yingqi and asked him to read the friendship of the Song and Han dynasties and the same species, and sent troops to rescue him.

After Yang Yingqi received the recital, he summoned Song Chen, who was still in Jinmen, and announced that the Han Ministry was willing to send troops without waiting for Hu Yin and others to speak. Hu Yin and the others were overjoyed, and Yang Yingqi said again: "It's just the way to send troops, and it still needs to follow the previous agreement. After the successful expulsion of Hulu in the future, this army will still belong to the Han Department, how about it? ”

Since ancient times, borrowing troops, the most afraid is the front door to reject the wolf and the back door to lead the tiger, and afraid that the friendly army will not listen to the command after the reinforcement, at this time the Han Department is willing to hand over the army to the command of the Great Song Dynasty generals, Hu Yin and others how not to like, said: "The Han Department is gracious, the seven generals are good, how dare not obey!" ”

Yang Yingqi said again: "But although this army is led by the Song generals, the banner cannot be completely classified into the military privy of the Song court, let me say it bluntly, I am afraid that this army will not be borrowed by you and not returned!" ”

Hu Yin said: "My Great Song Dynasty is a state of faith, not so. However, the Seventh General should have this concern. But I don't know what the Seven Generals plan to do? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I mean: this army will fight in the name of the righteous army, what do you think?" ”

Song Chen praised it when he heard it, and Hu Yin secretly thought that there should be nothing wrong, so he also seconded it.

Yang Yingqi said: "But now that Bianliang has fallen, how to solve the supply after this army leaves for the Song Dynasty?" And whose moderation should I listen to? But I don't know what to do. ”

Hu Yin said: "Although Bianliang has fallen, there is still a generalissimo of soldiers and horses. After this army entered the country, it naturally had to listen to the moderation of the generalissimo Kang Wang. As for supplies...... It is expected that there will be grain in the state and county where King Kang is located. ”

"That's good. Let it be settled. Yang Yingqi said: "The Han Department is a small state, there are not many soldiers and horses, and only 30,000 or 50,000 people can be raised to aid the Song Dynasty, and the 10,000 troops in the early stage have been assembled, so they are waiting to set off." The rest of the centaurs will come one after another in the future. ”

Hu Yin was overjoyed in his heart, he had heard that the Han army was strong, no less than the Jurchen elite soldiers, and inquired about the situation in the north after coming to Jinmen, and knew that the regular army of the Han Department in the city was only 120,000 when he was guarding Liaokou, and now he was willing to lend 50,000 troops, which was greater than expected, so he thanked him again and again. He asked again about the candidates for the generals.

Yang Yingqi said: "The candidate for the general, your Great Song Dynasty court has promised Wang Shizhong to discuss with me. It's not quite agreed yet, but the situation is urgent, and we can't afford to wait. I plan to let Wang Shizhong temporarily lead the commander of this rebel army, first by the Wang Shizhong recommended by General Liu Qi to lead the vanguard soldiers and horses to the Central Plains to meet with the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the follow-up troops will wait for King Kang to arrange properly, and then march into the army one after another after the oath to the north, what do you think? ”

At this time, the Song court was stranded in the envoy group in Jinmen, and Liu Qi was the most qualified to lead the troops, so as soon as this proposal came out, everyone felt that it was feasible.

Yang Yingqi said: "The army is assembled, and it can set off in three days." But ......"

Hu Yin and the others were afraid that there would be a change of hexagram, so they hurriedly asked what else was going on.

Yang Yingqi said: "Our Han Department has contributed money and efforts to the Great Song Dynasty, so why do the Great Song Dynasty have to give us some returns?" ”

Hu Yin and the others were shocked, and they all wondered: "Sure enough, it's here!" "There must be conditions behind Hanbu's willingness to borrow troops, and they have already thought of this. Hu Yin said: "Does the Seventh General need the Great Song Dynasty to do something for the Han Department?" Although Hu Yin and others have no right to agree, they can also convey it on their behalf. ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "You don't need to ask for instructions on this matter, you can promise it yourself!" Besides, now that Bianliang has fallen, who do you ask for instructions? Then he said his request: "This time, in order to assist the Great Song Dynasty, our Han Ministry has drawn out many officials to deal with this matter, so our current officials are a little insufficient." Therefore, I would like to borrow from the Great Song Dynasty and ask you to help us deal with some government affairs that we are too busy to do. ”

What Hu Yin and the others were most afraid of was that the Han Ministry asked for land cutting, who knew that it was such a request, and they were stunned for a while.

Yang Yingqi asked, "What?" Is there a difficulty? ”

Hu Yin said: "I don't know what the seventh general wants us to do? We are not familiar with the government affairs of the Han Ministry, and I am afraid that it will ruin the affairs of the Han Ministry. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I want to work hard for you and go deep into various areas of the Han Department to inspect and visit. This is done with a fair heart. Besides, as long as the place goes a lot, the government affairs of the Han Department will gradually become familiar. ”

Hu Yin discussed with a few colleagues for a while, and felt that this was also a good opportunity to get to know the Han Ministry, and it was better than having nothing to do in the Kushoujin Gate, so they all agreed.

After the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty left, Chen Zhenghui asked Yang Yingqi: "Is there a shortage of manpower in our Han Department?" ”

"There is no shortage." Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "I just want them to walk around, don't be bored in Jinmen all day long to come to us for trouble." ”

Chen Zhenghui chuckled and said: "I'm afraid it's more than that, I think the Seventh General thinks that these people are talents, so they are just like the 'ill intentions' for me at the beginning!" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "It's okay to say anything!" ”

Chen Zhenghui asked again: "But do we have 50,000 soldiers and horses to help the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "These 50,000 soldiers and horses are not as elite as Liaokou. I plan to recruit troops on the spot in Cangzhou and Dengzhou, and after a little training, I will hand them over to Liu Qi. Let's give him money and food, and as for what the battle looks like, let's just watch from the sidelines. ”

Chen Zhenghui said again: "But in the first phase of the vanguard soldiers and horses, we only prepared 6,000 people, where are there 10,000?" "The 6,000 soldiers and horses that Yang Yingqi prepared to give Liu Qi were the Tanggu recruits led by Liu Qi during the last exercise. Yang Yingqi had already greeted Liu Qi about this, and Liu Qi naturally happily agreed.

Yang Yingqi heard Chen Zhenghui ask, and said with a smile: "Now there are a lot of displaced people in Cangzhou and Dengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and I have sent people to these two places to recruit 2,000 strong men each, and they will be trained by the defenders of Dengzhou and Tanggu respectively, and it has been more than a month now, don't you know about this?" ”

Chen Zhenghui suddenly said: "It turns out that these two teams of Seven Generals are planning to use them like this!" However, these two teams have only been training for more than a month, so they may not be able to go to the battlefield. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Well, it's still early to go to the battlefield, but at least it's quite disciplined, and it should be no problem to be a logistics team and an auxiliary team." We give money and food to people, and as for how the soldiers are trained and strengthened, it depends on Liu Qi. ”

At this time, the news came from outside the door: "Li Yu and Xu Wen are here." ”

Yang Yingqi ordered to invite in, and after the two came in, Yang Yingqi told them that he was going to let Xu Wen be Liu Qi's deputy general and let Li Yu be his staff officer, Xu Wen accepted the order without hesitation, but Li Yu frowned slightly. Yang Yingqi asked him: "Didn't you always shout that you wanted to go to the Great Song Dynasty after you returned to Jinmen?" Why aren't you happy? ”

Li Yu said: "I wanted to go back to the Great Song Dynasty because I said that I would share the hardships with the students. But now that the situation is like this, what's the use of me going again? Besides, I don't know how to do military work, how can I do this staff officer? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I sent you not because you understand military affairs, but because you understand politics. ”

Li Yu was stunned and asked, "Do you understand politics?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "This time, you two go, you must do your best to help Liu Qi in the matter of how the army fights, and don't drag him back." But you have to be careful about the belonging of the army, try to keep a distance from the main force of the Great Song Dynasty, and don't let this army of soldiers and horses be eaten by the Great Song Dynasty! We are just helping the Great Song Dynasty fight, not giving the Great Song a blood transfusion! ”

Li Yu groaned: "This army is listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, right?" ”

Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "Not bad, not bad!" You can say these five words so quickly, it means that I chose you correctly! ”
