Chapter 100 Guiyang is in an emergency

Hearing that Zhu Youzhen was going to send a new army to Guiyang, the important ministers all gave up the battle for the gate and reached an agreement on this matter.

"The northern soldiers are transferred to the south, marching thousands of miles, and the water and soil are not adapted, this is a taboo for the use of soldiers, Your Majesty must not do it, and Guiyang is shocked three times a day, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, Your Majesty should focus on the common people."

"Your Majesty, Shizhu Xuan comforted Qin Liangyu to lead the troops on the front line of Sichuan and Guizhou, and the more than 10,000 wolf soldiers under his command are all Tusi border people, who are not afraid of miasma, and should be sent to rescue Guiyang as soon as possible."

The ministers were emotional, and they all stepped forward to advise them, only Yuan Keli hung his head on the side, as if he was thinking.

"This time to Shizhu to transfer troops, back and forth in January, may not be able to send troops to Guiyang City, can directly send troops from the capital, the time seems to be faster, I just don't know how much Your Majesty wants to send troops this time?"

The world is uneven, and the military department is the one that deals with the Son of Heaven the most, and Yuan Keli also has a deeper understanding of Zhu Youzhen's military ability than others.

The matter of running thousands of miles to Liaoyang behind enemy lines can be successful, and running two thousand miles to rescue Guiyang in the territory of Daming should not be as difficult as others think.

"The 3,000 new troops are equipped with horses, and they are light and simple."

Zhu Youzhen's words were concise and to the point, and Yuan Keli calmed down a little when he heard this, and it was definitely faster to rescue Guiyang with 3,000 cavalry than to transfer troops from Shizhu.

But the number of these 3,000 cavalry is slightly small, and I don't know if I can open the encirclement of the rebels, so that I can't rescue them in the end, but will be devoured by them.

"Your Majesty's intention to first aid Guiyang is understood, but the number of three thousand is a little small, can you send an envoy to order the stone pillar wolf soldiers to go with you at the same time, you can also answer one or two."

After listening to Yuan Keli's analysis, Sun Chengzong also understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, three thousand cavalry rushed to rescue Guiyang, and when Ke'an Guiyang held on to his heart, he no longer objected and offered a compromise plan.

"Good!"

Seeing that all the ministers were opposed, it was impossible for Zhu Youzhen to insist on going his own way, and hundreds of thousands of living beings in Guiyang were in front of him, so it would be good to have a strategy for both.

The decree was quickly drawn up, and after the General Administration Department issued it, the Generalissimo's Office of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry was put into operation at a rapid pace.

Since Zhu Youzhen began to evaluate the performance of officials in the capital, the efficiency of the officials in the capital has still increased, and there are Dongchang staring at it, and the officials do not dare to blame the military affairs related to the security of the country, after all, the matter in Tianjin has only passed recently, and the blood stains outside the Xuanwu Gate have not yet dried up.

The new emperor not only inherited Taizu Chengzu Wentao's martial strategy, but also the decisiveness of that killing is naturally not lacking.

Unlike the passive operation of the imperial court, the Generalissimo's Mansion, which received the order to send troops, was excited.

After more than a year of training, he was finally able to fight a battle with dignity, and both officers and soldiers had a long desire for this battle.

Since the seizure of Shanxi, the Generalissimo's Office has recruited another 3,000 recruits, and more than half a year of rigorous training has made the majority of officers and soldiers want to prove themselves with a battle.

Thanks to the good training in peacetime, the next day after the arrival of the Divine Decree, the 3,000 new troops set out.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen, who made a windfall, increased the investment in the military industry, and with the successful research and development of water conservancy drills and chambers, the production speed of mini rifles was greatly accelerated, and the new army has now completed all the rearmament.

In order to increase the ability of the new army to attack fortifications, Zhu Youzhen also gave Lu Xiangsheng a special approval of yellow explosives, and the task of the new army is naturally not just as simple as aiding Guiyang.

At the end of November in the first year of Chongzhen, Qianxi was lost one after another, and Guizhou was completely exposed to the rebels.

At the beginning of December, at the foot of Longtou Mountain in northwest Guizhou, the tents of tens of thousands of rebels were like stars, scattered between Longtou Mountain and Chifeng Lake.

In the central tent, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming were discussing the attack on Guiyang.

"Abba, the army is only two days away from Guiyang."

A sturdy man opened the curtain and entered the big tent, grinning with a big mouth that had lost his front teeth, and reported to An Bangyan after the case, his dark face and some yellowed teeth were particularly eye-catching.

"Since the uprising of my army, I have conquered five cities in more than a month, and the dog official army is no more than this, and Guiyang is just around the corner."

After the man finished speaking, he made a butt on the Taishi chair next to him, and reached out and poured a large sip of herbal tea.

"Our army rose suddenly, the officers and soldiers have not yet reacted, don't be careless, in the Battle of Bijie, the officers and soldiers still have people who dare to fight, don't forget how we were defeated four years ago."

An Bangyan, who was at the top, was a little displeased when he heard this, a trace of dissatisfaction floated on his face, and he reprimanded him twice, and the man was busy bent down to be taught.

"Haha, King Liang, don't be too harsh, the battle of Bijie, Ling Lang is brave, but I have seen it with my own eyes, the tiger father has no dog."

An Bangyan's extravagant Chongming started a round.

"Uncle, don't praise this kid anymore, if you don't praise it, you will go to heaven, this time we will be caught off guard by the official army, and when the official army from Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan arrives, there will be a tough battle at that time."

An Bangyan does not seem to appreciate it, and he still has a little sober about the smooth progress of the current war.

Luxury Chongming's younger sister married Shuishui An Bangyan's eldest brother, so An Bangyan also honored the eldest brother of Luxury Chongming.

In the early years, An Bangyan's eldest brother died of illness, leaving behind Lu Chongming's sister Hao Shehui and son Anwei, and the imperial court sealed An's position as Anxi Tusi, but his uncle An Bangyan was actually in power.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, after the defeat of the extravagant Chongming, he voted for Anxi's sister.

Relying on his mother's eldest brother and the growing age of An's position, in recent years, Luxury Shehui's voice in Shuixi's clan has also increased.

But for An Bangyan, this is naturally not a good thing, although he doesn't say it openly, and secretly there are dislikes.

"What King Daliang said is very true, it is not the time to celebrate, and when Guiyang is captured, our situation will be stable."

Extravagant Chongming is much older than An Bangyan, and under the fence, he should not be able to see some of An Bangyan's provocations.

When the position is bigger, An Bangyan naturally has nothing to worry about.

The war was imminent, the contradiction was slightly reduced, and after An Bangyan's son An Ji was thrown out of the big tent, the two discussed attacking Guiyang again.

In the next two days, the army did not move, and it took advantage of the night to take advantage of the darkness of the night, and a few small teams dressed as Ming people went in the direction of Guiyang.

Under the city of Guiyang, the three gates are closed, and only the east gate is open for one hour every morning and afternoon.

Since five days ago, after the fall of Qianxi, all the villages around Guiyang City have fled into Guiyang City, and Guizhou Governor Wang Yan sent the general army Lu Qinguang to send scouts on the one hand, and mobilized grain and grass on the other hand, preparing to hold Guiyang.

Wang Yan fully learned the tragic lesson of the rebels besieging the city for ten months in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the lack of food and cannibalism in the city.

However, Wang Yan still had a conscience, and after paying the villagers' food, he did not prevent the villagers from outside the city from taking refuge in the city.

In just a few days, the population of Guiyang City, which originally had a resident population of more than 100,000, doubled.

With the approach of the rebels, the city was also shocked three times a day, and after cutting down a few strongmen who took advantage of the chaos to loot, the city was a little more stable.

It wasn't until two days ago that the news of the rebels' arrival at Longtou Mountain came, the situation in Guiyang City suddenly became urgent, and the surrounding villagers entered the city more, and every time the city gate was opened, it would cause a burst of chaos.

"My lord, the traitor has arrived at Longtou Mountain, and the soldiers will be able to come to the city in two days, in order to prevent accidents, should the city gate be closed?"

In the signing room of the governor's yamen, Lu Qin asked tentatively.

"Alas, bandits are like combs, if you can save one more person, save one more person, Lord Lu must send scouts to monitor the movements of the rebels, and report to me as soon as there is any action, I must be able to prepare before the rebels arrive."

The siege of Guiyang in the second year of the Apocalypse, ten months, starved to death tens of thousands of people in the city, although the city was not broken in the end, but Li Yun, the governor of Guizhou at that time, was still punished by the Ming Dynasty.

With this precedent, Wang Yan had to be cautious.

"My lord, the rebels are dozens of miles away, if you pretend to enter the city, you are afraid of a big event, you must take precautions, it is better to close the city gate as soon as possible."

For the benevolence of the governor's wife, Lu Qin, the chief soldier of Guizhou, did not care, how could there be no immortal in the war, if the city was defrauded, he would be the one who died.

"The general soldier's words are wrong, our saints' children, inherit the order of the Son of Heaven, to ensure the safety of the people, the rebels are far away in Longtou Mountain, even if they march urgently, they have to reach the city for a day and a night, and it is not too late to close the city gate after the rebels move, if the general soldier is worried, he can let people strictly interrogate the people who enter the city, and must not waste food because of choking, and ruin the reputation of the court."

Guizhou Inspector Shi Yongan stepped forward to grab Bai, choking Lu Qin speechless for a long time.

Da Ming is noble and noble, not to mention the patrol lord who is light on the power of the official.

Lu Qin only had to sigh at the governor and patrol of the benevolence of the woman, so he had to order the soldiers of the city gate to step up the investigation, and place the people who had recently entered the city to the north of the city to be monitored.

Two days later, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming led the army to Guiyang City.

Lu Qin's scouts were effective, and before the rebels arrived, all four gates of Guizhou were closed, and tens of thousands of troops could only look at the city and sigh in the face of the city walls two or three zhang high.

After six years, Guiyang was besieged again.

At the same time, after a ten-day rapid march, 3,000 new troops had arrived in the city of Guang'an.
