Chapter 123 On the City Head
"His Royal Highness King Qi, His Royal Highness King Zhao." Lin Douyao weighed the pros and cons, and felt that it was also the time to send troops, the Pu family just told him to delay, he had already done it, and the benefits of 10,000 yuan were not soft. If it really drags on for a long time, it will be too much trouble for the bluffing pirates to conquer Houguan County, and it will not be worth it for 10,000 yuan. At the moment, he said categorically: "Foolishness should not be delayed, you can first send a battalion of forbidden troops, and two battalions of officers and soldiers of the city garrison camp of the city, and then send two cavalry to the outpost to investigate, you can ambush and other things, and then mobilize a battalion of forbidden army and a thief hunting battalion in the city to prepare to go out of the city to support, what do the two highnesses think?" ”
King Qi said succinctly: "What if the marquis has nothing to do?" ”
King Zhao smiled but said nothing.
When the officers and soldiers go to battle, they need time to form a team, at least an hour to the marquis, and at the same time, they have to monitor the left and right sides and be careful to ambush...... Lin Douyao will definitely call out the officers and soldiers out of the city to be careful when he meets the opportunity, so that he can delay until midnight to get to Nan'an, then it is estimated that Xu Zixian will either run back to Fuzhou, or Nan'an Town and the Houfu Courtyard plus the regimental training camp will be burned to the ground, anyway, it will be enough if things are done to this point!
King Qi wanted to send at least five troops to set off in advance, so that he could quickly find out that there was no trace of the Hou Guan, but Lin Douyao's subordinates could not be doubted, it would be equivalent to the prince interfering in local military affairs, and the matter could be big or small.
Fujian Fucheng is the place with the most garrisons, but it is also two city defense battalions, a robbery battalion, and there are five cavalry and three battalions of the forbidden army, Lin Douyao dispatched two forbidden military camps, and also sent out the thief battalion and the city guard camp, and always could not send all the cavalry, the city was empty, once it was taken advantage of by the enemy, all the officials of Fujian Road were imprisoned and could not withstand the wrath of the Son of Heaven brought by the world's side eyes, even King Zhao was difficult to get rid of responsibility, at least one battalion of forbidden troops had to be left in the city, plus a battalion of city defense battalions and Sandu cavalry, Of course, there are also generals of various families who need to go to the city to defend, and it is quite difficult to defend such a large city as Fuzhou Fucheng with about 5,000 people.
Of course, there is no decent enemy nearby, if there is an enemy of the scale of the five pirates on the sea attacking, more than 100,000 people, the five battalions of the forbidden army are completely insufficient, and all the more than 20 battalions of the Xiang army in the area of Shaowu Xinghua Army in Jianzhou must be requisitioned and transferred to the area of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou to defend, and the five battalions of the forbidden army will be used as mobile troops.
Fortunately, the pirates are interested in dominating the sea, as well as the nuisance along the border, and the five thieves have their own intentions, divided with each other, if they work together, there are more than 200,000 pirates, then the fun will be great, Fujian Luwei is sure to hold the Fuzhou Prefecture, other places can only give up, and have to rely on the imperial court to transfer the officers and soldiers of Guangzhou, Jinghu and Zhejiang to assist in the defense, there are Donghu in the north, pirates in the south, and the Great Wei State is resting.
This is also an important reason why the imperial court has been discussing a lot in recent years and has been considering a compromise with the pirates.
If the king of Qi was in charge of the military administration, of course, he would have sent troops out of the city a long time ago, and left a battalion of soldiers near the city gates in the city, plus the prince's mansion to mobilize 2,000 people to go to the city, and he could also let go of the strong men called the gentry family to guard the city, and there were civil organizations such as the Bow and Arrow Society and the Zhongwu Society in the city, and it was very easy to mobilize thousands of people to go to the city.
Lin Douyao was selfish and deliberately pretended to be nervous, and secondly, he really did not have the prestige and confidence of King Qi......
Yang Shiwei did not object to Lin Douyao's arrangement, after the forbidden army arrived, the cavalry of the two capitals went out of the city first, and then dispersed the sentinels, and then a battalion of the forbidden army and a battalion of the box army drove out of the city, more than 4,000 people rushed out from the east gate, playing more than a thousand torches, and illuminated the vicinity of the city gate as if it was day.
Chen Dujing approached King Qi's side and said with a worried face: "Does Your Highness think that Nan'an can hold out until the forbidden army comes to help?" ”
"In between." King Qi sighed and said, "I am a little underestimated by the enemy, and I have expected the wrong people's moves. It seems that the Pu family also has masters, and their determination is relatively large, and the arrangement is also very thorough, but I am a little lighter. I thought that as soon as there was a movement in Nan'an, I could urge troops here in Fucheng, but now they are urging Mingda to use the matter of Gukou to urge Mingda, and arrange suspicious soldiers in Houguan, Nan'an is where heavy troops are gathered, whether Mingda can go back to Nan'an to clean up the mess, or sit in Gukou and watch Nan'an fall, or have any accidents with his subordinates because of Nan'an's death battle, the purpose of the people is completed. ”
Chen Dujing's face was a little pale, Xu Zi was the son-in-law he had already fallen in love with, and many families in the city knew about it. Although Chen Wenjun is definitely not worried about getting married, if Xu Zixian has any accidents, his daughter and him are not married at all, but they don't worry about this. The worry is that the series of cooperation between the Changwen Hou Mansion and the Nan'an Hou Mansion is completely in vain, and the daughter obviously has a good impression of Xu Zixian, with Chen Dujing's understanding of his daughter, even if he is married to another daughter, he will not object, and he will not let go of his arms to accept other people in this life.
Girls at this age really can't cry out of love, and then start a new relationship a few months or even a few days later.
Generally speaking, women in this world do not like a man easily, and they lack such opportunities.
Once you fall in love, a strong-willed woman with a beautiful inner style will rarely change her mind and choose another man.
In this way, isn't it wrong for my daughter's life?
This is one thing, and then there is that in order to strengthen Xu Zixian's belief and prevent him from escaping before the battle, he deliberately sent his eldest son Chen Zhengzhi to Nan'an.
If you know that the enemy has set up such a big battle, and obviously bought Lin Douyao and others, this matter can't be asked to do it anyway, this dead end can't be solved, the son-in-law is trapped, and then pay a son who is very satisfied with himself, where to start.
King Qi knew Chen Dujing's thoughts, and comforted: "Mingda is very disciplined in leading troops, and there is also a set of training troops, and things are slow and round, and Chen Hou doesn't have to be too anxious......"
Chen Dujing disagreed in his heart, he did this thing, of course he was distressed, of course, he was distressed, if he did it again, of course he would still support Nan'an Hou Mansion, Changwen Hou Mansion is not a national surname clan, in fact, it is a great gentleman family, scholarly family, Xinyi and other things, in other families may be toilet urinals, for Changwen Hou Mansion, face is still needed.
And Chen Dujing also likes Xu Zixian quite much in his heart, this son is generous and behaves in an orderly manner, the important thing is that he still has a pure heart, without the arrogant spirit of the princes and magnates, even if they are sympathetic to the soldiers and love the people, the princes and clans are also making a high-minded almsgiving, which is tireless.
And the things that Xu Zixian did in Nan'an were all subtle, caring for every subordinate, appeasing the homeless, not just building a few porridge sheds, but cashing for work, carefully considering the capital to give each homeless person a long-term livelihood.
Acting like this, coupled with the fact that the two parties have an in-law relationship, it is strange that Chen Dujing does not like it.
However, he couldn't agree with King Qi's judgment, so he frowned and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, this is appeased." Mingda is indeed shrewd and capable, he is an excellent junior, and he should be able to lead soldiers to fight, at least much stronger than my generation. However, there are no heavy armor and strong soldiers in Nan'an regimental training, nor crossbows and bows, and the treatment of strong enemies is nothing more than bows and crossbows as sharp weapons to control the enemy. Ironclad soldiers are also crucial. The regiment trained the soldiers very well, but with a few months of newly trained soldiers, to defeat the thieves who had accumulated years, I thought that the chances were still slim......"
King Qi was silent, Xu Zixian was his favored junior, and he also had a lot of hard work on Xu Zixian.
If it really makes people assassinate this time, whether it is death or defeat, it means that King Qi's hard work will be completely wasted.
Qi Wang Senran said: "Some people are not complacent, this time, if Mingda is really ridden by it, I will definitely try my best to protect it, if Mingda dies, there will always be people on Fujian Road who will also have to pay the price." ”
King Qi's intentions were unusually resolute, and Chen Dujing could also feel his determination, but Chen Dujing still sighed, if King Qi's power could really suppress Fujian Road, how could these people dare to act like this now?
Time is really changing, and it is quite obvious that the country's general trend is like a river.
During the reign of Wu Zong, although the country began to have many events and the national strength was declining, such as the things in front of him, it would never happen, and no one would dare to act like this.
Dispatched the bandits who were secretly raised, attacked the prince's palace and the imperial court, acted wantonly, threatened the county government, burned, killed and looted, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause.
If it is during the period of Wuzong, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground, and Wuzong can even send 100,000 forbidden troops to wipe out all parts of Fujian!
This dynasty is stormy, and from the things in front of us, we can see some clues coming.
Not far away, Lin Douyao greeted some gentry, Han Bingzhong was even more proud, the dispute and conflict between him and Xu Zixian is a well-known fact, this person is shallow, and he may feel that there is nothing to hide, so his expression looks quite relaxed and freehand.
Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei both have solemn faces, the robbery is related to the Criminal Division, the matter is big, Zheng Liqi can't get rid of it, the red-robed adults at the head of the city, I'm afraid that he and Yang Shiwei are the two people who are most looking forward to being safe.
Xiao Zan's attitude is ambiguous, but he himself should have a good impression of Xu Zixian.
As long as the taxes on Fujian Road are not affected and the transportation is normally sent from the port, he has nothing to worry about.
Of course, this is only the surface, Xu Zixian's group training also asked the transfer envoy to allocate a certain amount of money to start, but Zhao Debang did not give a penny.
Zhao Debang is King Zhao's confidant, and King Zhao's attitude is obvious.
Yang Shiwei treats King Zhao of Qi equally on the surface, and he rarely moves around with King Qi, but after all, he has been the king of Qi's military service, and it is impossible to treat King Qi and King Zhao equally in his heart.
Lin Douyao and Zhao Debang, Han Bingzhong and the big businessman Pu Shougao who he colluded with, these people are still the most powerful group in Fujian Road, Zhao Wang and his party followed, and King Qi followed.
And Chen Dujing and the mansions of various princes, ordinary civil and military officials, and wealthy businessmen from all over the country constitute the middle class of the political ecosystem of Fujian Road.
At the lower level, of course, are ordinary customs officials, soldiers of the Xiang army, officials of various states and counties, and so on.
At the bottom of the class were, of course, the common people such as small merchants, craftsmen, and farmers.
The entire Fujian Road, starting from the incident in front of you, seems to be calm, but in fact it is already on the verge of falling apart!
As for King Qi, Chen Dujing and others, there are very few people who are worried about state affairs, do not want internal strife, and only want to do things for the people and share the worries of the court.
Fortunately, there is another young man, Xu Zixian, who is simply the hope of the future of Fujian Road, is it going to be ruined in such a conspiracy?
