Chapter 272: Pre-War Mobilization

After Meng Chang surrendered, in addition to some of the Song troops stationed in the city, several commanders of the Song army had been stationed in the Houshu Palace.

"General, the rebels of Hou Shu have emerged, under the banner of saving the Emperor of Shu, and their appeal is not small, and many other people have joined the ranks of the rebels. Just in case, these people need to be sent to the capital as soon as possible. Wang Renzhan, the military supervisor of the North Song Road, suggested to Wang Quanbin.

"It's all clowns, don't be afraid, but it's also time, so let General Liu Guangyi escort this group of demoted generals back, and Bendu will be deployed to stay in Shu to suppress the rebels." Wang Quanbin said.

"I'm afraid that General Liu also wants to stay, this way, there are fewer people, and there will be no fewer people who want to save Emperor Shu."

"Discuss with General Liu, it should be enough to send a team of people, Houshu has been down, Your Majesty should not use troops externally in the short term, we don't have to be in such a hurry." Wang Quanbin said.

The plundering of the army made the Song army profit a lot in Houshu, and the longer anyone stayed in Shu, the more benefits and merits they could obtain.

Wang Quanbin and Liu Guangyi, who had made great contributions to the pacification of Shu, and other generals of the Song army, supposedly should pacify the place as soon as possible, and then ask the Song court to send officials or appoint officials who descended to the Song Dynasty to stabilize the place, and then return to the court.

But the wealth of Houshu made them reluctant to leave immediately, which is also the reason why Zhao Yuan did not hand over the surrender table, and Meizhou was still under the threat of looting and rioting by the Song army.

"Lord Metropolitan Supervisor, there is a land in Shu, which is extraordinary, its wealth is comparable to that of Shudu, its sergeants, the elite is not bad under the command of the general, its soldiers can cut copper and break iron, and its armor is indestructible." After Shu was demoted, there was a large number of officials, who were officials who were Zhang Mu for Luo Andong and others.

"Is there such a place, you are not lying?" Wang Renzhan, the military supervisor of the North Road, said in disbelief.

If there are really such powerful people in Houshu, how can they be attacked so quickly, these demoted officials, in order to obtain greater benefits in the court, they can use any excuse, Wang Renzhan has seen too many such people.

"Really, the criminal officer pledged his life, as long as the Lord Metropolitan Eunuch persuaded the Lord to deploy the Lord to send troops to take this place, the wealth obtained will be far better than what he obtained before."

"Since you know, why is this privy envoy who has never heard of it before, where is this place?"

Wang Renzhan was the capital of the Northern Route Army in this expedition to Shu, and he was actually the deputy envoy of the privy council. The Song army attacked all the way, he indulged the generals to kill and surrender troops indiscriminately, accepted bribes, divided the property that should have been handed over to the imperial court by the various official offices under his capture, and privately accepted the Kaki of the Shu generals, which can be described as a person with all five poisons.

Such a person has an intersection with this group of demoted generals in Houshu who have other ideas, and it is a very normal thing to strip more property and beauty.

"This place is Meizhou, Meizhou Assassin Zhao Yuanxin has been in office for less than half a year, but this person is very domineering, and full of ambition, as soon as he arrived, he almost purged the officials appointed by Emperor Shu, and built a lot of construction in Meizhou."

"Such a person, there is nothing to say, at most he is a little overbearing, how can you say that he looks like he is going to rebel?"

"Lord Metropolitan Supervisor, the key is that in the process of building in Meizhou, he did not use the treasury of Meizhou, did not forcibly levy local conscription, all of it was out of his own pocket, and spent his own money on the reconstruction of Meizhou City, he is not so stupid, he can only say that this person is a wolf with ambition and wants to plot against him!"

"When you say that, the Privy Counsellor wants to see this man. Meizhou, but a remote area, really has what you said, its wealth, comparable to Shudu, its sergeants, the elite under the command of the general, its soldiers, can cut copper and iron, its armor, indestructible. ”

"This matter is true, the adults don't believe it, the lower officials can bring the Meizhou officials who drove this Zhao Yuan away, and find them to tell the adults about Meizhou Zhao Yuan."

"Okay, it's idle anyway, this official doesn't believe it, that broken place in Meizhou is really as good as you blow! If all of this is true, the Privy Counsellor can assure you of your future in the Crown. Wang Renzhan promised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Houshu officials said overjoyed.

……

In Meizhou, Zhao Yuan personally inspected the preparations of the Gongfang Army, and the morale of the soldiers was very high, no matter what, as the people of Houshu, the emperor was captured by the Song army, and everyone was angry.

After several years of workshop military career, under the guidance of Zhao Yuan, they have long been dominated by Zhao Yuan. Although the soldiers of the workshop army will not still maintain the idea of being foolish and loyal to the power of the Houshu Emperor, after the establishment of the country in Houshu for more than 30 years, their thinking as Houshu people and the people of the dead country will make them want to fight with the Song army like most of the rebels in Houshu.

"See Lord Thorn Shi, the first to twentieth brigades of the Workshop Army, the three brigades of logistics, a total of three thousand two hundred and two people, all of them are in place, please instruct." Outside Meizhou City, the military camp of the Workshop Army, the commander of the Workshop Army, Miao Shijie reported to Zhao Yuan.

The fully organized workshop army, the main battle team has ten squads under one brigade, and each squad has ten people. A logistics brigade has 10 squads under its jurisdiction, each with 40 people.

Therefore, the workshop army now transferred to Meizhou, including twenty main battle brigades and three logistics brigades, locally recruited young and strong, and the reserve personnel of the workshop army, do not need to join the mission of this battle.

Most of the Hurricane Battalion, the most elite of the Workshop Army, has been released to investigate the Song Army's possible actions against Meizhou, except for the personnel who defended Zhao Yuan and his family.

"Brothers, the great change has come, the capital has fallen, our Majesty has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the Shu Kingdom has died, and this matter has become a fact. Like everyone else, I have sadness and hesitation, and I have also thought about ignoring it, leading my troops to the north, driving away the Song army, and rescuing the emperor.

But our workshop army is a force with ideals, which was created to protect the various workshops in Danling and protect the people of Danling.

Now, the Workshop Army has become a team to protect Meizhou, and the places we want to protect and the people we want to protect have increased.

We can rejoice, but we also have to think that the greater our responsibilities, the more things we may face.

At the beginning of the creation of our Workshop Army, it was a unit with a defensive character.

I know that with the development of various workshops in Danling, with the deepening of the training of the workshop army, the brothers have realized our strength.

We have the sharpest sword, the sharpest gun, and the strongest armor, but the value of our existence, our mission, is to guard, protect Meizhou, protect the workshop, and protect everyone.

We don't actively violate the idea of others, but we also don't allow others to violate us.

For the Song army, they are very strong, originally I didn't have the idea of going against them, but after the Song army destroyed our Shu Kingdom, what they did was too cruel, a large number of people, tragically plundered by the Song army, even if these people are not from Meizhou, but we Meizhou, we Danling, there are many people from these war-torn areas.

We can not go against the Song Dynasty, and even I, as the assassin of Meizhou, can hand over the table of surrender to the Song Dynasty and remove my official position.

But how innocent are the people, they do the hardest work, pay the heaviest taxes, serve the heaviest labor and military service, and the biggest expectation every year is just to be fed and clothed, why in the end, they are the ones who suffer.

No one spoke for them, now that Song Jun is bullying them like this, I, Zhao Yuan, don't agree, and the hundreds of thousands of people in my Meizhou don't agree, brothers, do you agree? ”

"If you don't agree, defend Meizhou and expel the Song army!"

"Defend Meizhou and expel the Song army!"
