Chapter 62: Yang Xin's Disappointment
Chapter 62: Yang Xin's Disappointment
Yang Xin agreed loudly in front of Jiao Hong, and when he saw the two thousand soldiers under his command, a sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
Of these two thousand people, Yang Xin probably saw it.
A good physique. Although he is shorter in height and not as good as the nine-sided man, he is also considered to have a lot of strength. Not bad.
But the biggest problem is that these people are drawn from each other's guards.
I didn't cooperate at all before.
It's almost a plate of loose sand.
Yang Xin could only arrange a dozen or so martial arts students he brought to serve as the positions of hundreds of households and thousands of households, and let them take care of them.
As for why all these martial arts students were not arranged to be grassroots officers, it was because of this damn language problem.
Yang Xin couldn't understand these people's local dialect at all.
Communication between the two sides was very problematic, but fortunately, some people could speak Mandarin and some people could speak Hokkien, so they could barely get a translator.
It is absolutely impossible to make both sides all mix.
Saving lives is like fighting fire.
Yang Xin did not dare to delay, all the way west, to Yanping Mansion, although he saw that Yanping Mansion had already been rumored to be full of soldiers, local officials recruited people, closed the city gate in broad daylight and other measures.
But the army of thieves has not yet appeared.
That's the good news.
Immediately, Yang Xin took a short rest and turned north.
After traveling more than 100 miles, he stopped at a place called Nanya. Camped. This place is only a few dozen miles away from Jianning Mansion.
In Yang Xin's view, it is already within the scope of the battlefield.
But Yang Xin did not find the thief army's probing horses. I suddenly had a split in my heart. He immediately sent Han Qing to investigate the enemy's situation.
As soon as Han Qing went out, he came back for a day and a night.
After Han Qing came back, he said: "Commander, rest assured, although there are more than 10,000 thieves, there is no rule to fight. However, in the ant siege city, there are very few ladders and shield cars. On the top of the city of Jianning Mansion, there are many strong men, and I also saw a few cannons, thinking that the thieves would not be able to attack them for a while. ”
Yang Xin asked, "Do you judge that the thieves have discovered us?" ”
Han Qing said, "No. ”
"The north of the two streams of East Creek and West Creek in Jianning Mansion, I have seen that these two streams are not too spacious, and the army can wade through. The thieves are unprepared for this. ”
"It's a good opportunity, lead me to do it."
Yang Xin is also making trade-offs at the moment.
His mission was not to let the thieves pass through Yanping Mansion.
This has already been done completely.
Even if Jianning Mansion was defeated and lost, he was sure to hold Yanping Mansion.
But he won't settle for anything but that. So his choice is very simple. He said, "Give the order to go down and cross the stream overnight and attack the camp of thieves." ”
Yang Xin said that he would do it, marched into the night, and arrived at the south of the stream in the middle of the night.
It's just that things have come to this point, and Yang Xin has also given up the sneak attack plan.
Because he discovered a fact that he ignored, this famous general who went to the battlefield for the first time overestimated the Fujian soldiers. As soon as the night falls, many soldiers have night blindness, even if Yang Xin tries to use various methods, they can't work.
Yang Xin had already discounted the speed of the day's march, but the night was no longer complete.
Yang Xin doesn't think that the thief is really deaf and blind, and he can't find it when he arrives in front of him. So they could only set up camp and confront the thief army across the stream.
The sudden appearance of Yang Xin's department.
It not only shook Ye Liuzong's department, but also shook the Ming army defending the city.
For a time, the Ming army thundered with joy.
Seeing this, Ye Liuzong immediately summoned the people in charge of the investigation in the army, and executed several people in a row, which can be regarded as a bad breath in his heart.
Ye Liuzong was one of the most popular in the army.
Ye Liuzong convened his henchmen to discuss.
Ye Xiba said: "Big brother, now this Jianning Mansion is like a turtle shell. The sons and daughters didn't know how to fight, and they didn't know how many people were going to die, but at this moment, the official reinforcements came just in time. I sent someone to see it, these reinforcements are only more than 2,000 people, and now that we have finished our men and horses, can't we eat them? ”
"According to my meaning, let's simply cross Dongxi and fight a decisive battle with the official army."
Chen Gongshan said: "Big brother, the war is all up to the eldest brother, but there is one thing that the eldest brother must understand, although we have more than 10,000 people, but the food is not very sufficient, and if you can consume it, you can't afford it." ”
Ye Liuzong understood in his heart.
The little money he has accumulated is enough for one person, but for more than 10,000 troops, it is a drop in the bucket, although he has occupied several counties.
However, the amount of money and food that can be collected in these places is also limited. Maintain an army of more than 10,000 people, and you can't even hear a splash.
Therefore, he was under Jianning City, and he couldn't hold out for long.
Although Ye Liuzong had the intention of making a quick decision, he calmed down and said, "Wait." ”
Ye Xiba and Chen Gongshan didn't know what Ye Liuzong was waiting for. But Ye Liuzong's authority is something that no one dares to challenge.
That night, there was a person in Jianning Mansion who went down to the city from the head of the city as a hanging basket and traveled dozens of miles to Yang Xin.
When Yang Xin saw it, it was actually an acquaintance, and said, "Lord Yang turned out to be you." ”
Yang Gong was also taken aback when he saw Yang Xin, and said, "Commander Yang, why are you here?" ”
Yang Xin said: "I was ordered by His Majesty to come to Fujian under the command of Lord Jiao, but why is Lord Yang here." ”
Yang Gong said: "This is the hometown. ”
This person is none other than Yang Rong's eldest son. The official appointment is Shang Bao Sicheng. Yang Gong.
Shang Bao Division, this institution, is to manage
Where twenty-four jade seals are used. It's important to say it's important, and it's not important to say it's not important. The main task is to stamp the jade seal for the holy decree, and then record and register, and there must be no mistakes.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
No one dared to go to the palace to grab the jade seal.
The system set by Emperor Taizu, this official position, is to be loyal to the ministers, that is, the largest among the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty.
And one of the mourning honors after Yang Rong's death is that Yin Yizi is Shang Bao Sicheng.
After Yang Rong's death, Yang Gong stayed at home for three years before going to Beijing to take up a post. After a few years in office, he stepped down and went home.
After all, there is no room for improvement in this official position, but where the shadow officials go. If Yang Gong keeps occupying it, it is easy to make people jealous.
After returning home, Yang Gong relied on Yang Rong's afterglow, and relied on himself to be an official of Zhishi, and in Jianning Mansion, he was also the leading famous family.
It's just that after all, this is the difference between heaven and earth when Yang Rong was there.
Yang Gong understands very well that he is not as good as his father, but he also wants to maintain the Yang family's door, so he actively participates in local affairs, such as this time when Jianning Mansion was besieged, Yang Gong broke the family for the country, donated a lot of money, and also incorporated all the children of the Yang family into the people's husband, and went to the city to defend it.
Of course, the Yang family is a big family, and that child is guarded by many families, and there are not many dangers, but the capital is enough.
This time, the thieves were in chaos, and I thought that the magistrate would not repay the Yang family, such as ordering a few children to be lifted.
Before, the Yang family didn't care about a few more lifters and a few fewer lifters. But it's no longer the prime minister's court.
Yang Gong and Yang Xin were both on duty in the palace, and they didn't dare to say how familiar they were, but they had both met.
Yang Xin only then remembered that the hometown of the scholar Yang Rong was in Jianning Mansion, so he didn't ask much, and said directly: "What is the situation in the city?" ”
Yang Gong said: "It's not optimistic. ”
If he was optimistic, Yang Gong would not have ventured out of the city himself.
Yang Gong, as the head of the local gentry, became the two cores of the city defense along with the prefect of Jianning Prefecture. He wouldn't have taken the risk himself if he hadn't to.
He came out this time with a mission.
"There are only two guards in the city, the previous time into the mountains to suppress the bandits has been killed and wounded, the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, unbearable, this time to defend the city to this day, all rely on the people, as well as the cannon at the head of the city to defend the city."
"But there is not much gunpowder in the city, and it has been used too much before, and it will soon be exhausted."
"By then, there would be no artillery in the city. It only takes a few bandits to go to the city, and the whole city will collapse, and I am here to ask reinforcements to enter the city quickly, and I am afraid that I will not have to enter the city if it is late. ”
The reason why Yang Gong came out in person was because Yang Rong had a big face, and he wanted to use his father's face to convince the reinforcement generals.
It's just that he is an acquaintance, so Yang Rong's face doesn't have to move out.
