Chapter 207: Southern Expedition Affairs
Among the several battalion officers under Qin Chuan's command, Ren Liang and Feng Yilong listened to lectures in the lecture hall while being literate in Lou Fu, while Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu were stationed in Jingle City and Lancheng respectively, and on the day they received the holy decree, Qin Chuan sent someone to call them back.
Two days later, Qin Chuan summoned all the people who were appointed by Zhu Youzhen except Lao Huang, as well as Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun and others, to the official hall for a meeting.
Lao Huang and Lynx went to the west to recruit displaced people, but Qin Chuan didn't call him back.
When everyone arrived, Qin Chuan's red-clothed attendant moved all the wooden boxes in front of each of them, and then said with a smile, "Brothers, congratulations, the big guys are all officials." ”
The battalion officer under his command had already heard about this, so he did not show any surprise or surprise, but only opened the wooden box curiously and took out the contents.
"This flower dress is ugly, isn't it?"
Luo Daniu muttered, shook the green military attache uniform in his hand, then threw it on the ground, and took out a wooden waist card.
"This waist card is not bad, quite fine."
"This embroidery is a little worse, not even the ones I drew at the beginning."
Song Zhiting also threw an official uniform back into the box and shook his head.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "click" next to him, and I saw Liu Youzhu shaking his head at a broken waist knife in his hand.
Zhao Wu said with a smile on the side, "When I was in the border army before, I didn't dare to use the weapons issued by the Ordnance Bureau, at least half of them were shoddy and unused. ”
"What the hell?"
Liu Youzhu threw the broken knife back into the alley, and he couldn't show any interest in what was inside.
Wang Jizong held a certain black gauze hat and sighed inexplicably.
"Why is Ming Zhao sighing?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.
Wang Jizong sighed again and said with a wry smile, "When the student was young, he thought about wearing a black gauze hat, but now he inexplicably got a black gauze hat from the fourth grade, but he felt that this official hat was a little incompatible with himself, and he felt that the world was impermanent and unbelievable, so he felt a little melancholy." ”
"Hahahaha, in a few years, I will make you a few more beautiful official hats, and get a few sets of neat and well-fitting official uniforms."
"Jizong is looking forward to it."
At this time, Ren Liang suddenly interjected, "My lord, this official uniform doesn't fit, so I won't wear it, I'm afraid only the official uniform made by adults can wear it." ”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to close the wooden box.
Feng Yilong also threw all the things in his hand back into the box, and said with a smile, "I am a rough man in the mountains and fields, and I can't wear this official uniform, so take it back and see who fits and wears it for whom." ”
Hearing the words of these two people, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Let's take it first, maybe it will be of some use in the future." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Ren Feng and the others to reply, so he picked up the holy decree on the coffee table next to him, and said, "Emperor Lao'er wants us to lead the troops south, obey the command of Xu Dingchen and Zhang Yingchang, and go to fight with Cao Wenzhao and them. ”
"the birds, give them their own shots."
Liu Youzhu was the first to speak, and scolded the bird as soon as he spoke.
Wang Jizong also frowned, and said, "My lord, the student thinks that this trip is not possible, and the imperial court just wants to transfer the adults away, take the opportunity to divide us and others, and recover Jingle and Lanxian, and ......"
"And the imperial court is likely to take the opportunity to trap and kill the adults, such as deceiving the adults into the commander's camp, and setting up ambushes, and then throwing the bowl as a sign when the adults arrive, and rushing out."
"He dares!"
Luo Da Niu suddenly stood up, his face full of murderous anger, "I just said, how can Chongzhen Xiao'er be so kind, he is an official for so many of us, he originally wanted to play this hand, since this kid is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust." ”
Liu Youzhu took over the words, "Big boss, since Chongzhen's little boy is not well-intentioned, let's not bird him, let him play with the birds." ”
"Yes, now that tens of thousands of Ming troops have gathered at the junction of Shanxi and Henan and Hebei, I can't go this time."
"Anyway, the more fierce the rogue in the south, the better it will be for us."
And the people began to talk about it.
After they discussed it, Qin Chuan coughed lightly, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then asked Zhao Wu, "Zhao Wu, what do you think?" ”
When everyone was talking about it, Zhao Wu didn't say anything, and kept frowning slightly.
Seeing Qinchuan Culture, he raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, from the humble point of view, this trip should go." ”
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Why?" ”
"First, Jingle Lan County needs time to recuperate, and the adults have also said that in addition to a strong army, the world also needs a rich and impregnable territory, Zhu >> in the past
Yuanzhang recuperated in Yingtianfu for more than ten years before he was able to take the world, not to mention ten years, three or five years are always wanted. ”
"If the lord resists the order, I am afraid that as soon as the Jiannu of the Qingshui River retreats, the imperial court will bring troops to attack, even if it can be defended, it is rare for the two places in Jingle Lan County to be peaceful, if the war is protracted, with the manpower and material resources of these two places, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight a protracted war."
"Second, adults must train soldiers, not military drills, but training in battle formations, after negotiating peace with the imperial court, there is no war in Lanxian Jingle, and if you want to train the soldiers, you can only go out to fight the Liukou, although the Liukou is not beaten, but you can take this opportunity to temper the long-distance march of the Guandi army, the battle formation against the enemy, the pursuit and so on."
"Third, the Lord and Emperor Guan's army have to go out of Luliang Mountain, not only to see the mountains and rivers in the outside world, customs and customs, but also to be familiar with the temperament of many general soldiers in the imperial court, the combat power of the Ming army in the northwest provinces, the combat power of the Liukou, and let the Lord and Emperor Guan's army erup prestige in the Central Plains."
"As for the matter of the fact that after the lord left Luliang Mountain, the imperial court took the opportunity to divide the brothers...... I thought that there was no need to worry about this matter, and the hearts of everyone here were bright. ”
Listening to this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
He really wanted to go out, wanted to meet Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong and others, and wanted to see Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng.
The most important thing is that he has to give Jingle Lan County time to develop.
Zhao Wu is right, with the manpower and material resources of the two counties, he can't fight a protracted war, he dared to start a war with the imperial court before, it is nothing more than relying on the imperial court to be restrained by the rogues and Jiannu, and the two sides have not yet reached the situation of endless death, there is still room for maneuver.
If you don't die, the imperial court only needs to transfer troops to surround the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, and sooner or later it will be consumed to death.
Zhao Wu said that it is also necessary to train the troops and see the world, except for the group of people who went to kill Jiannu outside the Guan, the rest of the Guan Emperor army has not yet gone on an expedition, and it is also possible to take this opportunity to raise a prestige while training.
Moreover, he wanted to go out and grab money and food.
In a few years, Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong will have to rob all the vassal kings and gentry in Henan and Shaanxi, and Zhang Bingzhong's guy even grabbed Sichuan, and the treasures in their hands are incalculable, and finally they all sank into the river.
Since Qin Chuan is here, he can't watch Li Zhang and the others loot all the treasures, and if they want to scrape them, they will scrape them themselves.
"The big boss wants to go?"
Seeing him smiling, Luo Daniu couldn't help but ask.
Qin Chuan smiled again: "Why can't you go." ”
"Okay, I'll go with the big boss, I didn't take me with me last time I went to kill Jiannu, so I have to take it with me this time."
"Okay, I'll take you there this time, but it's not time yet, we'll go back when the winter wheat is harvested."
Wang Jizong frowned and asked, "My lord, if the court officials want to trap and kill the adults, what should I do?" ”
"They told me to go to the meeting, but I didn't go, if they wanted to lead a large army to surround me, I just had to go farther, but I couldn't help it."
Wang Jizong pondered for another moment, and finally nodded, "Since this is the case, then we will prepare early." ”
"You have to prepare well, by the way, Ming Zhao, you write a letter for me, just say that I was injured when I fought with Wang Dehua and them, and it also caused the old injury when I was attacked by Jiannu, and I have to recuperate for a month, and I have to send troops to raise grain and grass, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two to go on the expedition."
"My lord is now a guerrilla general in Shanxi, and when he goes out to fight for the country, the grain and grass should be prepared by the Shanxi government."
"I forgot about this, you send Xu Dingchen another letter, saying that I am ready to go on the expedition, let him prepare 1,500 soldiers and 2,000 war horses for a month's grain and grass, and tell him that if the grain and grass are insufficient, there will be many gentry in Yangqu, Taiyuan and Fenzhou, let those big families donate some, otherwise no one will want to live a stable life."
"Yes."
The big thing has been decided, and then Qin Chuan explained some trivial things and discussed some issues that need attention.
When the meeting was adjourned, everyone was just about to go out, and a Guan Emperor came outside the door, and said to Qin Chuan inside, "My lord, a recruit named Ma Desi came outside, holding a few pamphlets and saying that he wanted to expose Li Dingguo's crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”
Qin Chuan frowned, "What?" ”
Emperor Guan Jun said, "Returning to my lord, Ma Desi said that Li Dingguo took a pamphlet to write and draw whenever he was free, and he accidentally found that there were many maps painted on those pamphlets, and there were many words written on them, he was illiterate, but he vaguely recognized a few pictures, among which there were maps of the lion roar valley outside Jingle City and north of Lancheng. ”
Qin Chuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Li Dingguo drew the map and wrote things down in the booklet, did he remember the strength and layout of Emperor Guan's army?
Could it be that this kid still wants to go with his father-in-law?
"Bring in all the people and the booklets, and then go and call Li Dingguo."
"Yes."
