Chapter 221 The rabble will not work

"The Japanese army did not attack, but hoarded halfway?"

When Qian Sijie heard the news, he was initially ecstatic, thinking that this was Shi Song's plan, but after waiting for two days, the Japanese army still did not advance or retreat, which made Qian Sijie suspicious, could it be that something had happened?

He was hesitating, but received a letter from Shi Songzhi, which did not say whether it was his strategy to support the Japanese army, but urged Qian Sijie to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Qian Sijie can do such a big thing, he is not a mindless person, he also has his own plans. From Shi Songzhi's letter, he was sure of one thing, that is, Shi Songzhi's plan was not satisfactory. Holding the Japanese army still, of course, can prevent his rabble from being wiped out, and at the same time, what Shi Songzhi originally planned will not happen.

It is very likely that Shi Songzhi had a secret agreement with one or several generals in the Japanese army, and after arriving at Huating Mansion, he turned against each other, at least feigned defeat. But because something happened halfway, the Japanese army did not arrive at Huating Mansion, but hoarded outside Lin'an City.

"Why attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau? Why don't you attack Lin'an directly? As soon as my edict came out, the whole world gathered to respond, and heroes from all sides came to vote every day, and it was the time to take Lin'an in one go. ”

No matter how he looks down on Zhao He, a puppet, Qian Sijie understands that now that this rabble can gather in one place, Zhao He still needs the influence of Zhao He to pretend to be King Ji. Therefore, when he decided to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau according to Shi Songzhi's strategy, he still did not forget to inform Zhao He.

After being the "emperor" for a few days, and being worshiped by many people, Zhao He now speaks much more smoothly than at the beginning, "I" comes and goes, his mouth is full of official accents, and he even knows how to use idioms such as "gathering to respond" and "one blow", and looking at Qian Sijie's eyes is also different from before, somewhat condescending.

Qian Sijie just wanted to answer, but the fat white man with a yellow beard next to Zhao He suddenly shouted: "Bold, the Son of Heaven asks for advice, dare not kneel?" ”

Qian Sijie raised his eyebrows and was about to have a seizure, but he immediately endured it, after the big thing was accomplished, these ignorant and delusional people could clean up as much as they liked, but now they have to endure it again and again. He knelt slowly, seeing that Zhao He did not have the slightest intention of hindering, he sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Lin'an City is difficult to attack, our troops are insufficient, and we will attack it strongly, and the number of victories and defeats may not be known." On the contrary, if I can lure the Japanese army out of Lin'an, I ......"

"Duh, how can you lose your honor in front of the Son of Heaven, and be a minister!" The fat white man shouted again.

This man's surname is Tang, his name is Fan, the word Erke, he went to private school for a while, and only brought dozens of people to Zhao He before yesterday, because he can speak well, he soon won Zhao He's pleasure and was appointed as the "Waiter of the Ministry of Rites". Qian Sijie talked to him twice, and felt that although this person was half-understood, he happened to be a pair with Zhao He, the "Son of Heaven", so he didn't care about him, but listening to him reprimanded him twice, Qian Sijie's anger in his heart could no longer be bearable, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes stared at Tang Fan like a torch, Tang Fan was panicked by him, and Zhao He was also a sudden heartbeat.

"What are you going to do?" After Tang Fan panicked for a moment, he leaned closer to Zhao He's side and shouted loudly: "As a minister, how can you be rude to the Son of Heaven, this official is Jiro of the Ministry of Etiquette, so you naturally have to reprimand!" ”

Qian Sijie took a deep breath and suppressed his anger again, but secretly swore in his heart that after the matter was completed, this Tang Fan would definitely kill him and be humiliated today. He pondered for a while, and then continued: "The minister said that if the Lin'an defenders can be lured out and annihilated in the field, Lin'an will be garrisoned empty, and then another blow will be blown, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"What does this have to do with attacking the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?" Tang Fan asked sharply.

"The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is a puppet emperor industry, there are a large number of ships in it, attacking the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, you can force the puppet emperor to send troops to help, if the puppet emperor is still not in the plan, the ships of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau can also take us north across the Yangtze River, go to Huaibei to meet with Zhende Xiucheng." Qian Sijie said: "The real prime minister has 100,000 soldiers, and he is loyal, with his help, Your Majesty will attack Lin'an in the south, and you can attack and retreat and defend, and you will be in an invincible position." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao He didn't have an idea, and glanced at Tang Fan, Tang Fan rolled his eyebrows, and then said, "Is this Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau easy to fight?" ”

"Is this Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau easy to guard?"

It was Zhao Jingyun who asked, when the people of Huating Mansion changed, because he had stood up for the villagers, he was lucky not to be arrested, but let him go. He almost did not hesitate to come to the new shipyard under construction of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, he thought that these people could not become a big thing, the only way to survive was to cross the river in the north, and the boat was needed to go north, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau had the most ships nearby.

"No problem." Hu Yichen patted his chest and said: "You have also seen it in the past few days, we have come through the battle formation, if you have not brought the news, those rebels will come to raid on the same day, or there is a possibility of success, as for now, with their rabble, I bah!" ”

Unlike Hu You's character, Hu Yichen is much more violent, he has gone through two battles of hanging islands, and the warships he has built over the years have fought from the Great Song Dynasty to Dongshengzhou in the extreme east, and he is full of confidence when he speaks. It is no wonder that because some shipbuilding processes in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau need to be kept secret, Hu Yichen attached great importance to security when selecting the location of the dock, and built a fence before building the shipyard. Although the wall was not very high, it was not easy for the rebels, who had been peasants yesterday, to break through it.

What's more, the workers of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, since the Son of Heaven came into power, began to use a large number of graduates of the Liuqiu Primary School, these teenagers who can write and calculate, than ordinary workers to do more elaborate work, and they have all received military training, as long as the police whistle sounds, they will immediately dress up and become qualified soldiers. There are not many workers left on the hanging island, most of them have been transferred here, and the total number of people adds up to more than 5,000, and at least 3,000 young and strong people can be pulled, among which there are more than 1,000 military-trained backbones.

This is the advantage of seeking universal military training, and in the locality, as long as there are 100 young and strong people who have sought military training, they can pull up thousands of men and horses with combat effectiveness at any time.

Zhao Jingyun made a note of this in his heart, his biggest regret when he was begging was that he did not pay attention to the training of the guards, and now the more he thinks about it, the more he regrets it.

On September 3, the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, news came from Shanghai Town, the rebels who had been entrenched in the town for a long time finally gathered an army of more than 10,000 people.

When the rebels were dispatched, the news also reached Zhao Youju, who couldn't help but be stunned.

Qian Sijie is the commander-in-chief of this army of 10,000 people, and looking at this sparse army, his face is extremely ugly.

The soldiers are very fast, but the speed of this army really embarrassed him.

Originally, at the end of August, he decided to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but on the issue of how to send troops, that Tang Fan made several statements in front of Zhao He, asking him to lead the troops to attack.

"That guy must have thought that he was just attacking a shipyard, and he was ready to capture it, so he had to share the credit." Qian Sijie thought in disgust.

In the past few days, there have been more people who have taken refuge, and with Tang Fan's help, Zhao He no longer has to rely on him for everything as usual, and even has a faint intention of sharing power with him, which makes Qian Sijie very annoyed. Everyone is doing things like pinning their heads to their belts, and before the big thing is done, they start to fight for power and profit, but Tang Fan can speak well, and he holds Zhao He's heart with a set of Son of Heaven etiquette, Qian Sijie can't compete with him, and it's just a waste of time to quarrel for a few days, he wants to get rid of this Tang Fan with a hard one, but Tang Fan is very alert, almost never goes out, and stays with Zhao He at any time.

In the end, he received a letter of urging from Shi Songzhi, Qian Sijie had to compromise with Tang Fan, and the two of them each led 5,000 men and horses, one left and one right to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. ”

"Fearless rats!" Qian Sijie scolded hatefully.

From Shanghai Town to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, it is only thirty miles, and it can be reached in half a day, but these rabble troops have traveled for a day, but they are only halfway away. Most of the reasons are to blame Tang Fan, what "a hundred miles will be a general", what "prophet the enemy and then move", what "strike first and then strike", in short, a lot of right or wrong "art of war" slipped out of Tang Fan's mouth in strings, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had read several military books. Chance was an outstanding soldier, and although he had read some books, he was most disgusted by this kind of so-called Confucian scholar who could not write or write, so he looked down on him. But the two armies came out together, if only his side sent troops, the troops would be insufficient, and Qian Sijie could only be sent by him.

This also made them arrive at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau on September 4.

"Zheng Zixi, what's the situation?"

The person in charge of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is Hu Yichen, but the person in charge of the command is not him, but a person surnamed Zheng Mingguanqun Zixi, Hu Yichen laughs every time he mentions him, which makes Zhao Jingyun very puzzled, and later learned from the workers from Liuqiu that this Zheng Zixi came to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and has some allusions, after he retired from the army, because he had participated in several wars, he had the right to choose his own position, he did not hesitate to choose a position in the textile factory, Because I heard that this position can be transferred to all female textile factory workers. Later, I learned that this was a position dedicated to managing the maternity of female workers in the textile factory, so I clamored for a change, and finally was transferred to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, where I stayed with a large group of male shipwrights.

"A rabble, give me 300 men and I can defeat them." Zheng Guanqun said disdainfully: "Let's ask for the scouts who pull out the primary school, and they are also a hundred times stronger than them!" ”

Hearing that he was so confident, Zhao Jingyun's hanging heart relaxed, and he also looked at the chaotic people outside the wall, as Zheng Guanqun said, this is indeed a rabble, even a layman like him who doesn't know how to soldier, can also see it.

Not only was there no queue, but even the flags were crooked and upside down, and when they set up camp, they were randomly distributed, without the slightest order. Zhao Jingyun looked straight at the help, and secretly wondered in his heart, such a rabble, the Japanese army only needed three or five thousand people to defeat him, why did he stand still when he left Lin'an City, could it be that what happened in Lin'an City?

Tang Fan is the front, what Zhao Jingyun sees is his troops, when Qian Sijie of the rear army comes up, he is in charge of military affairs, and when he sees Tang Fan's camp, he can no longer hold back his anger.

"What about Tang Fan? Call him to me! ”

He came to Tang Fan's military camp in a rage, and the more than 100 people he brought with him were all his henchmen, unlike the rest of the chaotic soldiers who gathered in a chaotic manner, these more than 100 people were silent and fierce, and they looked like old soldiers. In fact, they are indeed old soldiers, they are all Qian Sijie's brothers in the army at the beginning, and they have generally received Shi Song's great favor with him, and they have a grudge against the Zhao and Song royal families.

"Tang Shilang said, the dust has not been washed today, and there are no outsiders." Stopping him were Tang Fan's "personal soldiers", and compared with Qian Sijie's subordinates, these people were wanderers on the street.

Holding the hilt of the knife, Qian Sijie's heart moved, listening to the tone of this pro-soldier, Tang Fan was not prepared at all, he came with more than 100 people, and he could reach his camp with a swagger, if he took the opportunity to kill him and then merge his subordinates, then Zhao He was just a mediocre person, what other opinion could he have?

Thinking of this, he glanced at his own soldiers, and the soldiers understood, stretched out his hand to pull Tang Fan's personal soldiers aside, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, is Tang Shilang really in this camp, my general is looking for him to have an urgent military situation, if he is here, please let him know, otherwise you will miss a major event, and you can't afford to blame it." ”

Seeing that he was far away from Qian Sijie, the guard lowered his voice and said: "They are fighting with immortals, and our little ghosts are suffering, so let's go and ask, don't be blamed afterwards." ”

Tang Fan's personal soldier felt reasonable, nodded, turned around and was about to go to the big tent, Qian Sijie's personal guard got Qian Sijie's signal, silently pulled out his knife, and cut off the head of Tang Fan's personal soldier from behind.

"Rush in, kill Tang Fan, don't kill the rest!" Qian Sijie ordered.

With his order, more than 100 people rushed to Tang Fan's big tent, and the soldiers in front of Tang Fan's tent saw them draw their swords and face each other, all of them were stunned with fright, and some people shouted loudly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”

"Mistake your grandmother!" Hearing his noise, Qian Sijie slashed with a knife and slashed him to the ground, and the anger in his heart was better. He strode towards the tent, only to see his men who had already rushed in and walked out again with a look of surprise on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Qian Sijie asked with a sinking heart.

"That's not there!" The subordinate replied.

Qian Sijie frowned, just now Tang Fan said clearly, Tang Fan is in the camp, and the big war is imminent, where will he go?

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the golden drums outside the tent, and dozens of people shouted in unison: "Qian Sijie intends to rebel, and by the order of the Son of Heaven, the one who captures Qian Sijie can replace him!" ”

Qian Sijie's face changed, and when he looked out again, he saw hundreds of people shouting outside the camp, and the leader of them was Tang Fan.
