Chapter 91 The North Wind Blows and Shocks the Ground 1
He also sat on the right side, and he listened quietly to everyone's conversation, and his dark face looked even more gloomy.
As the actual highest military governor of Yidu Road, Yexian's position is only below that of Yiwang Mainu. First of all, he was also a general who had experienced many battles, and decades of saddle horse fatigue finally got his high position today, and the fierce and irritable and murderous spirit of the past gradually declined, because he was a slave buyer and was loyal to it, so as the status and power of the slave buyer rose, the position of the first was also rising.
In recent years, the people's hearts in Shandong have become more and more unstable, not only disasters are frequent, but also man-made disasters are becoming more and more intense, especially in the eleventh year of Zhizheng, Han Shantong and Liu Futong bewitched people's hearts, and even claimed that Han Shantong was the eighth grandson of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and he was the lord of China! And with this as the number, he issued an edict saying: "Today, the king is in the court, the traitors are out of politics, the officials are cruel and greedy, the discipline is decadent, and the poverty is extremely south, the rich are in the north, the people's minds are changing, and the destiny of heaven is in danger." Yun Yuxi in Haidong, take the elite soldiers in Japan. The trail of the Great Song Dynasty, the hatred of the Snow Cliff Mountain, Hu Yuanning has a hundred years of luck? Restore the Song Chamber, in one fell swoop. ”
How daring!
At the beginning, a large number of people from Shandong Province participated in the turmoil, although now Han Shantong has been ambushed, but Liu Futong took his henchmen to hide in the mountains, and many scattered thieves and soldiers escaped the pursuit of the official army, fled back to their hometowns, and brought the flame of hatred into the local thousands of households.
In Yexian's eyes, Yu Hai and his ilk were able to guerrilla everywhere and not be destroyed, a large part of the reason was that these escaped thieves affected the local people's dissatisfaction. So that Yu Hai can continue to get the support of the people.
Back then, the handsome man still killed fewer people in Xuzhou!
In addition to some of the escapees, I also knew privately that many generals secretly captured and plundered the green men and women, as a monopoly on driving and selling them all over the world, or left a lot of beautiful maids for their own use. There are many prisoners of the Battle of Xuzhou in the mouth of this Mayu quarry.
Although this matter may not be unknown to the marshal, and even he himself may have passed by, but it does leave a lot of hidden dangers, if the ancestor Khan is resurrected, he will definitely slaughter the city completely, leaving no grass! Where will there be follow-up troubles?
It's ridiculous that later, Xuzhou City also set up a "Pingkou Monument" for the commander of Totoku, and the imperial court even abandoned the old name of "Xuzhou" and renamed it "Wu'an Prefecture"!
I didn't say anything first, it was a little strange to buy slaves, and seeing that everyone sitting down was almost talking, I asked: "The thief is rekindled, I don't know what the general's good plan is?" ”
also woke up first, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thanks to the grace of the prince, this road has been smooth in the past few years, and the people's livelihood is happy." The thief army rushed to the west, but it was just a remnant of life. Today, the thief army was lucky enough to get out of the encirclement of our army and attack a city, that's all, it is not surprising. ”
Gu Kaiqi said: "The thieves are out of trouble, and the city can be defended today, everyone thinks it is bitter, and they are afraid that it will be arrogant, I don't know why the general said this?" ”
Everyone in the hall was contemplative, and they stopped and analyzed it first.
He also smiled slightly, first surrendered his hand to the slave, and then said: "Our army has surrounded the thief army for several years, although it cannot be completely wiped out, but the work of several years is not idle, the thieves are constantly defeated by us, and they continue to run around without hesitation, and it is difficult to have a chance to breathe." The day before yesterday, the thieves army in the mountains was broken, according to the report of the army, looking at its corpse was ragged and ragged, and the dead were all yellow-faced and muscular, obviously they were already tired, if it were not for the desperate counterattack of the thief army, our army was afraid that the casualties would be too large, and they would have been completely wiped out in the mountains. ”
What he said is a bit untrue, if it weren't for Yu Zhilong's several impromptu responses, Yu Hai and the others would indeed be completely defeated.
Yidu Lu comforted Zhuo Sicheng to sit opposite Yexian, he was more concerned about how to recover the consequences of the northern fall of Linqu County, and was a little impatient: "Everyone knows about this matter, but it is not appropriate for the county to fall into the hands of thieves, and it needs to be recaptured as soon as possible. ”
"I heard that Yin Xie Lin of Linqu County is also a talent, presumably the people here are educated by it, and they should not have the idea of attaching thieves, unlike some places, as soon as the thief army arrives, they immediately swarm and attach ants, and regard the officials and soldiers as snakes and scorpions! Treat the court as an enemy! "Don't be in a hurry or slow down first.
Speaking of which, there are actually not a lot of soldiers and horses on Yidu Road, and if you go all out to encircle the Haisuo Department, it will not take a year to solve it. It's just that later, I first felt that instead of completely exterminating it as soon as possible, it would be better to give it a considerable blow and force it to wander around, so that Yidu Road is famous, and a large amount of money can be withheld from the large amount of money and grain raised in Dadu every year and used as funds for local banditry. As long as the Privy Council is good up and down, it will naturally be allowed.
Once so much money and grain is attributed to Yidu Lu's account, especially in the hands of Yexian, how to use it will naturally be the final word.
In fact, in addition to personal investment and family management, the benefits of the generals in the army also deducted the blood of the soldiers, took advantage of the opportunity to plunder to enrich their own pockets. As for Yu Lu, in this world now, who would really take it seriously, and it is not enough to even plug the gaps between their teeth!
also holds military power first, and the soldiers and horses on Yidu Road are mobilized, recruited, and used, and the right to speak is naturally extremely heavy. In the name of suppressing bandits, they withheld money and food for their own use, and they were very happy! Of course, as the highest local governor, King Yi's interests must be the first to be satisfied, and he takes the lion's share, as for King Yi, Yexian's henchmen, etc., can also be wet with rain and dew. However, most of these people are covered by color, and the Han officers have no possibility of profit.
The consolation made Zhuo Sicheng not get it! The same is true of the Han civil officials under them!
Therefore, Zhuo Sicheng and others are most concerned about the suppression of thieves, and they are also the most willing to contribute. He vigorously encouraged the local families to recruit volunteers and fight back against thieves together with the official army. These volunteers did play a great role in the encirclement, so much so that Daru Huachi at all levels in the first army had to deliberately slow down the pace of pursuit and encirclement, and even leave some gaps, so as not to let Yu Hai and others really corner.
Of course, these little secrets will not be honest to Zhuo Sicheng, in Zhuo Sicheng's eyes, that is, the official army is often ineffective, and is often seized by the thief army to escape away, although there are many thieves, but they have repeatedly failed to achieve full success. Although he was so anxious that his liver was angry, due to the limitations of his official position, he could not urge Ye Xian to wait for others, so he had to keep telling King Yi and asking for support.
can't share this bowl of soup, and you have to be ready to take responsibility at all times, Zhuo Sicheng is naturally very annoyed, and he has also made many actions first, it is impossible to keep everything secret, he has also heard of it, after all, under this Yuan Court, there are more such things. It's just that Mengren is the master, and he is the second devil as later generations, and no matter what, there is no time to seek justice in front of the master.
According to the first statement, the place is not quiet, the people have the heart of a thief, the blame should be borne by the local government officials, the local officials of this governance are naturally mostly local Han officials, most of them are subordinate to the Propaganda Mission, although there are Daru Huachi in various places is the highest official, but the specific action is still the Han officials, after all, those Mongolian high-ranking officials have many different Chinese languages, if there is no translation to help, even basic communication can not be done, let alone governing a place!
Military and political discord has existed since ancient times, and the Yuan court was no exception. What's more, in the entire court system, the Monse people are naturally superior, and the credit is indispensable, but the guilt can recruit more people to top the tank, although everyone eats in a pot, but after it is served in the bowl, there is still a difference between who has more meat and whose porridge is clear.
Although Zhuo Sicheng and Yexian are both Yiwang's favorite generals, this awkwardness has been continuous. Now that he heard that he was not effective in suppressing the bandits, he blamed the local government, Zhuo Sicheng was troubled in his heart, but his face was not good to make waves, so he had to cheer up and say to the slave first: "The Yidu Road thieves have come and gone, and they have not been cured for many years, and their subordinates are not strictly governed, and they are duty-bound." ”
Then he turned his head and said first: "Now that the thief army is out of trouble, the county town has fallen, and Sang Zi is in trouble, please ask the general to relieve the people as soon as possible." ”
Gu Kai said casually: "What Lord Zhuo said is extremely true, the thief is already declining, and now that he has a place to rest, in case he bewitches the foolish people and makes trouble again, it is really not the blessing of the imperial court." The lower officials received the favor of the imperial court and made a special trip here to assist you, and also hoped to settle the people as soon as possible and return to the court with victory. ”
He and Zhuo Sicheng are both Han officials, and they don't want to see him embarrassed, since they came to Yidu, he and Zhuo Sicheng and Ye Xian jointly planned to suppress the bandits, and it was somewhat seen that these two people were a little uncompatible, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Gu Kai withdrew several officials in a row, and the two of them had the same illness and sympathy, and they had to go to danger together in this matter.
also looked at the civil and military officials first, nodded to Gu Kai and said: "The thieves are so tired, I expect that they will slack off after winning the city, if the thieves continue to run south into Yizhou, it will be difficult to contain them, if they stay in this city today, it should not be difficult to break it." ”
"In the past few days, the Han army from all over the country has received orders to come, and the artillery team and the fire team are all in the ranks, thinking about how the thieves can stop it!" I am also full of confidence first.
A middle-level officer in the hall said: "Although the Meng rebel army was wounded, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, thousands of rebels will soon arrive at the camp outside the city, and a letter from Boxing Prefecture reported that the Meng army is well organized, and the morale is high, and it can be a big responsibility." "This person is a thousand households under the leadership of the Intelligence Department of the Han Army on Yidu Road, who is in charge of the military situation in various parts of Yidu Road, and the investigation of military information, and even the secret monitoring of the officers of the Han Army.
In order to strengthen the attack force, a lot of artillery teams and firecracker teams were dispatched from all over the country, and most of the troops on Yidu Road were transferred, including this kind of army, and only a small number of troops were temporarily stationed in Fucheng. This time, it was finally decided to make him fight.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel happy, with these powerful troops joining, the victory can be expected.
Mainu smiled and said: "Teach you to rest assured, this king has been Pegasus Express to the Privy Council a few days ago, please transfer the elite of the Beijing Division Suwei to the Jingjing place on Yidu Road, which was originally to conquer bandits everywhere, but now it seems that it is going to be used here first!" ”
"Oh, I don't know what Jingshi's opinion is?" Gu Kai asked. Mainu did not inform him of this, so he asked.
"Today, Zhongshu Pingzhang has replied to this king, agreeing to the request, and a Tang Wuwei will come soon." Mainu laughed.
