When Wang Zezhi was concentrating on studying Huang Taiji, a few days passed in a flash.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the tenth day of August.

The battalion commanders gathered at the General Military Department of Datong Prefecture.

"According to the secret spy report, Huang Taiji in Liaodong is gathering troops, and judging from the current situation, Jin will pour out of the nest after the beginning of October."

The battalion commanders present were stunned, they didn't expect to hear such exciting information as soon as they came.

Among them, the little six sons were even more shocked and speechless.

Although the sentinel in his hand had gone far enough, he had never penetrated deep into Houjin's hinterland.

At this time, Xiao Liuzi was thinking, how did Wang Zezhi get that information?

Could it be that Wang Zezhi has a secret spy like Yu Zhong in addition to him?

Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, he felt that it was impossible, the soldiers and horses in charge of external exploration were only one of his sentry camps, and he had not heard of when Wang Zezhi had added another battalion.

Since there is no other secret agent, how did Wang Zezhi receive this information?

Xiao Liuzi remembered that Wang Zezhi asked him to inquire about the transportation of materials by merchants outside the Guan, and he guessed that Wang Zezhi had discovered something from this information.

After figuring out the key, Xiao Liuzi was no longer in a daze, and listened attentively.

Everyone is looking awe-inspired, if Wang Zezhi said that the Jin people are coming from the country, then they will definitely come from the country.

"However, according to the businessman who infiltrated the Jin Kingdom, Hou Jin's target this time is not Datong Mansion, but Jingshi."

When Wang Zezhi said this, the two brothers Wang Xian and Wang Shan, who were allowed to come to the meeting, were stunned at the same time.

They had no idea when Wang Zezhi had turned the merchant into a secret spy.

Wang Shen didn't know why, and winked at Wang Xian.

Wang first rolled his eyes, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Both of them are smart people, and they understood in an instant that Wang Zezhi must have arranged something they didn't know.

"The city of Jingshi is high and deep, and the defense is strict, the Jin people will definitely not be able to break it, besides, there are 200,000 border troops in Liaodong, and the Xuanfu is heavily guarded, so we don't have to worry about the problem of the Beijing division at all."

"In fact, without the emperor's order, we can't send troops without authorization, if there is an emperor's order, it is to enter the king of Jingqin, and to act without the emperor's order is to plot a rebellion." Yang Guo thought for a moment and spoke.

Wang Zezhi nodded at him with satisfaction.

That's right, Wang Zezhi had no intention of rushing to the aid of the Beijing Division.

Moreover, he was sure that no one would use him if Chongzhen used him.

Because he has already paid homage to the official, it will be difficult to reward him for military merits.

Wang Zezhi planned to attack Huang Taiji's lair.

Huang Taiji poured out of the nest, and the reserve was empty, which was a good time to raid.

"My lord, the territory of the Jin people is thousands of miles away from our Datong Mansion, if we go deep into the hinterland of the enemy country, I am afraid that there is no food and grass support, and the whole army will be wiped out." Li Hua said worriedly.

"This question is good, I already have a layout for this matter, Wang will say a few words first." Wang Zezhi stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang to come out first.

Wang Xian first saluted the commanders of each battalion, and then came out of the ranks after the salute.

"I was ordered by my lordship, led by the Yehe people, from Xinpingbao to the customs, through the Yongshao Bu clan, the original Chahar hometown, until Hao'er took advantage of the area, and arranged twenty-one supply points, large and small.

The supplies in these supply points were transported by sergeants disguised as merchants, and so far enough supplies had been stored in the supply points for 8,000 elite horsemen to travel thousands of miles.

If there is more than a month, this number will be doubled. ”

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he bowed to Wang Zezhi and retreated.

"Eight thousand fine horsemen are far from enough, and now there are a large number of Jiangnan merchants and Datong and Xuanhua merchants who want to go out of the customs and go away to Houjin.

I have drawn 20,000 elites to form an engineer battalion, and I intend to use the cover of these merchants to transport the grain and grass necessary for the 30,000-strong army.

The engineer battalion of the new group was led by Wang Xian, who was familiar with the road topography.

Wang Xian. ”

"The subordinates are here." When Wang Xian heard that he was in charge of 20,000 people at once, his excited lips trembled.

These days, he has watched his younger brother serve as the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and he has exchanged greetings with various wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, and it is impossible to say that he is not envious.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, he would become a general in charge of 20,000 people.

"I appoint you as the first battalion commander of the engineer battalion, responsible for coordinating the handling of camouflaged escort grain and grass baggage, and I will do it immediately without further ado." Wang Zezhi took out Wang Xian's appointment letter and handed it to him personally.

Wang Xian took it with both hands and went down to take up his post excitedly.

"Wang Shan."

"The subordinates are here."

"We already have tens of millions of taels of silver in our treasury, right?"

"Yes, do you want to use them all?" Wang Shan asked.

The reason why Wang Shan wanted to ask was because there was not only Wang Zezhi's own silver in the treasury, but also the pledge money pledged by various merchants in the ticket number, which added up to more than 20 million taels.

"Yes, set aside five million taels of silver to pay for the military salary, and to deal with the aftermath of the soldiers who died in battle, and the rest of the silver will be used to buy food.

You organize people to disguise themselves as different merchants to go to Taiyuan Mansion, Pingyang Mansion, Henan Mansion to buy grain from local squires and merchants, as much as you want, of course, the price should not be too high, more than five taels and one stone, you will report back.

The people of our bandit brigade have been idle for a while, they can suppress bandits, or they can become bandits.

We can't be polite to those who hoard and raise prices.

I will store all the grain I have bought, and I will use it for other purposes. ”

"Yes." Wang Shan was ordered to go down to do business.

Wang Shan is a very smart person, he didn't ask what to do with the pledged silver, but directly took the order to retreat.

Since Wang Zezhi said that it was all the silver, there was no need to ask again.

Judging from the fact that Huang Taiji poured out of the nest, as well as Wang Zezhi's intelligence that he was preparing to attack Houjin for thousands of miles.

Now the situation has reached a point of life and death.

At such a moment, the silver is left in the treasury and not spent, that is, stones.

When a person dies and a country dies, then it is worthless.

"My lord, the Jin people are pouring into the country, how should Datong Mansion defend it? What should the foreign ministries do to defend? "Ah Niu has been following Wang Ze for a long time, and he has become able to think.

It occurred to him at once.

After Wang Zezhi eliminated the sergeants under his command after special training, he left 60,000 soldiers out.

These soldiers and horses were all men of excellent physical fitness, and they were all able to run from Datong Mansion to the guerrilla camp on foot in the starry night.

"Ah Niu obeys."

"The subordinates are here."

"I ordered you to be the general of the city guard, commanding the establishment of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and defending Datong Mansion, the city is in the people, and the city is dead, do you understand?"

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead." This time, Wang Zezhi not only issued a letter of appointment, but also a special seal for the general who defended the city.

"There is this seal, if I come in person, those who hold this seal can adjust the battalions and battalions of the city, and if there are those who do not listen to the order, they have the right to cut first and then play."

Ah Niu took the appointment letter with trembling hands and put it away very ceremoniously.

"Xiong Jiachang, Qi Qi, Li San."

"The subordinates are here."

"The three of you, each lead 10,000 troops to defend the city, obey Ah Niu's dispatch, and give me a good defense of Datong Mansion."

"Order."

"Mopping wood."

"The subordinates are here."

"Hold the seal of my Shanxi General Army, sit in the Naturalization City, and order the Tumut Department and the Ordos Department outside the Saiwai, as well as the various tribes of Guishun, to send the young and strong people in the clan to gather in the Naturalization City to prevent the Huang Taiji raid."

"Order."

Wang Zezhi found through research that Huang Taiji had long wanted to attack Guihua City.

If he knew the news that Lin Dan Khan had been defeated, he would definitely come to attack.
