Yu Zhilong frowned secretly. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's dark, it is estimated that the Yuan army will not march overnight, and if it comes, it will be tomorrow." ”

"General Mu, General Qu, General Qian!"

The three of them heard the sound and said: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Immediately gather all the departments, straighten out the city defenses, curfew tonight, and tell the sergeant that the enemy is coming." Yu Zhilong instructed that in ordinary military operations, except for those that really need to be kept secret, Yu Zhilong demanded that all officers and men of the army must be notified so that the generals and sergeants know the enemy they are facing and their respective tasks. This is not only a trust in the subordinates, but also a way for the officers and men of the departments to understand that if the superior is killed in battle or can no longer continue to command, the successor can continue to command according to the established instructions.

"Gou Qianhu, quickly send scouts to investigate around to see if there are any enemies around, how many enemies there are, and what is the location? and the west part of the city shall be given more men. Gou Fugui responded and said goodbye.

Yu Zhilong looked at Tan Ye and said, "Today, the elite of the sect is gathered, although they are young and strong, but there is no training, and the two armies cannot be of great use in front of the formation. It would be too early if they were scattered into the various units of the Jing'an Army one by one. I intend to compile a part temporarily, which will be commanded by you and defend the city. ”

Tan Ye bowed down and said: "Tan is willing to follow the general and participate in great things together." Dare to ask the general to order me to defend the city, is it to go out of the city to retreat from the enemy in person? ”

"Not bad. The city was initially decided, and then it could not withstand the war, and besides, I came alone, and there were no reinforcements, if I was trapped in one place, wouldn't it be to trap the Jing'an army and die? I have made up my mind, no matter what the enemy's situation is, retreating from the enemy in the field, it is inevitable! Yu Zhilong said angrily, "If the city is lost again, it will lose the hearts of the people here, and it will also fall into the prestige of my Jing'an army, so I order you to stay and take good care of it!" ”

The generals were surprised, this Tan Ye is just a new person, Yu Zhilong is actually a new person!

Tan Ye bowed his head and bowed, and said after a little heart-to-heart: "My subordinates, thank you for the general's trust, and I will do my best to protect the city!" It's just that the enemy situation is unknown, a certain look at our army's strength is only 3,000, in case the enemy is big, it may be difficult to kill the enemy in the wild, second, this city is small, and there are not many people to defend the palace, and third, there are many young and strong people who teach many people to secretly and simply train people, in order to prepare for future plans, there are about 1,000 people gathered today, although they are not as elite as the army, they can also go out of the city with the general to fight. A certain self-surrendered army has not yet made meritorious service, and today he is only willing to kill the enemy with the general! ”

Maitreya's religion is not a simple gang, in order to perform in one fell swoop, he also secretly avoided the government and the right in the time, and trained simply in the wild. Yangshuo and Tan Ye are both long-term people, so they naturally often do this.

"That's fine!" Yu Zhilong thought about it briefly and agreed.

Naturally, you don't need these people to charge into battle, but if you have a strong momentum and fight a good fight, you can still do it. Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, there is no foreign aid, and it is not the best strategy to stay alone in one city.

"There are rules and regulations for the actions of the army, and today Tan Ye is a thousand households, and he will lead these 800 people to fight with me, and temporarily rank them in the army formation. As for the defense of the city, you can choose a resolute and resourceful person as the deputy general, and I will assign Lao Jing as the main general of the city guard, leaving 200 elites and 200 new soldiers to hold on. ”

Leaving the new soldiers alone to defend the city is naturally not possible, and it is inevitable that there will be chaos when encountering a complex enemy situation, and it will not be possible to form a joint force. Therefore, Yu Zhilong specially sent a sergeant from Qian Zheng as a commander at all levels, and then ordered Lao Jing to lead an elite guard. As long as you can win the field battle, the city will naturally not be lost.

In addition, these sectarians are difficult to decide, and joining the veteran as the leader of the team can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also gradually grasp the subordinates, reduce the influence of the Maitreya Sect and even Tan Ye on them, and can quickly integrate into the Jing'an Army as a whole. It's just that this mind is not good, and he said it clearly to Tan Ye and others.

At the beginning, Tan Ye was a guard, and he was also a believer. Yu Zhilong ordered in public, but he deliberately collected the hearts of Tan Ye and others.

Yu Zhilong got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and then instructed Lao Jing: "Choose a local who is familiar and reliable, and then send guards to Ju County to investigate." General Zhao Shi has not heard from him so far, and it is really difficult for a certain committee to be safe! ”

Lao Jing received the order and summoned a family to guard hundreds of households, and so on.

Seeing that Yu Zhilong had finished assigning, Mu Chun stepped forward and asked: "In this siege, our army has a number of bows and arrows, and there are more than 100 firearms, why not distribute our army to help kill the enemy?" ”

After all, Yishui is Xia County, the Han army and armory in the city already have some bows and arrows and firearms, has experienced wars, losses, abandonment of a lot, and finally there are more than 200 standard strong bows, more than 100 firearms.

"Bows and arrows are distributed in the army, and firearms are left in the city for defense." Yu Zhilong thought for a while and said, "There are still a few artillery pieces in the city, all of which are left at the head of the city. ”

The firearm was manufactured before the Song Dynasty, and there was equipment in the army, and all kinds of firearms were available.

The Yuan army's firearms are mostly bronze tube type, filled with gunpowder and marbles, and the two armies are ignited with a fire twist in front of the formation, Yu Zhilong's view is that this is the early front-loading arquebus, but because the current production process is completely manual, it is not a refined series of standards, the gunpowder power is small, the damage distance is too short, at most 100 steps, it is unusable.

Today's guns and artillery are said to kill the enemy, but it is better to burn the enemy, and the power of the bullets is still lackluster. The main reason for the sharpness of firearms in Europe in later generations was that the manufacturing process began to be standardized and mechanized, and black powder was successively improved into yellow powder with greater efficiency. The power of concentrated fire shooting gradually far surpassed that of cold weapons, so it quickly replaced cold weapons in just a hundred years.

The transformation from cold weapons to new weapons cannot be achieved overnight without decades of technological accumulation and ideological progress over the past hundred years. Yu Zhilong is neither a saint nor an encyclopedia, and can be omniscient. He just knows some common sense in later generations, and it is completely unrealistic for him to open a golden finger.

"Tonight, the city and the army will strengthen inspections, and the generals of all departments should clearly inform those new soldiers of the military regulations and policy guidelines of the Wujing An Army, so as to completely calm the morale of the new soldiers and boost the period." Yu Zhilong continued.

Yu Zhilong is not too worried about the old soldiers brought by Linqu, but which of the new sect members in Yishui, the prisoners of the Han army, etc., because they are not clear about the military regulations and civil affairs of the Jing'an Army, it is inevitable that they will have some other ideas, especially when it comes to the critical period of the two armies fighting, if they are discouraged, they will regret it too late.

Qian Zheng, Mu Chun, Qu Bo, Yu Shichang, Gou Fugui and others received their orders.

"Wake up at the beginning of tomorrow, and the meal must be finished!" Yu Zhilong ordered, "There are many things tonight, so let's go one by one." ”

The generals bowed and walked away quickly.

Yu Zhilong summoned the Yishui patrol envoy who was waiting outside the hall, and asked him to count the old soldiers in the city overnight, and listen to Xie Lin and Kong Ying's dispatch.

At the beginning, Xie Lin assisted Ji Xiancheng to guard Linqu, and the two complemented each other and cooperated tacitly, and now the defense of this city is also presided over by Xie Lin. Fortunately, this time Yu Zhilong plans to retreat from the enemy in the wild, and he will not defend the lonely city alone unless he has to. If the battle situation is no longer good, he would rather abandon the city and retain his strength to retreat to Linqu, and Yu Zhilong is unwilling to defend the city.

That night, everyone in the civil and military forces was busy, and Yu Zhilong sat alone on the county government hall, waiting for the scouts to return.

Before and after the fourth watch, scouts returned one after another to report: there were no less than two or three thousand Yuan soldiers in the west of the city, and the banner seemed to be the Han army on Jinan Road.

"Jinan Road is hundreds of miles away, how can it be its soldiers and horses?" The generals were puzzled and pondered.

Yu Zhilong's side of the army out of the city to meet the enemy, but twenty miles, the front scout reported, the advancing Jinan Road Yuan Ting Han army suddenly retreated, looking at its direction, it seems to be Benlaiwu, will Jinan!

It turned out that the Yuan army Wanhu had an appointment with Mr. Sun, if it was an enemy on the side of Yishui City, he might as well return to the army and reason later. This is the matter of Yidu Road, Jinan Luken helped Yidu Road to suppress thieves, without Qingfeng Village, he has done his best, there is no need to take risks alone.

In particular, the Yishui gentry such as Zhuge who fled halfway met wept with joy when they saw the Yuan army of Jinan Road, and Wanhu summoned to inquire about the enemy situation and military strength in the city, but unfortunately Zhuge and others absconded and did not have time to fight with the Jing'an army, so they had to reluctantly explain the original thousands of Shi Zebo in the city, and the rough estimate was no less than four or five thousand, and the result was suddenly crushed by the Jing'an army.

Ten thousand households have a total of 10,000 hearts, and the military strength they bring is only nearly 3,000, how can they withstand the other party? There is no Yuan army around, and now that the thieves have been exterminated, it is better to go home.

Yan Ming didn't dare to invite the battle, so he silently ordered his subordinates to pack their soft bags, go back to the cottage to pick up the Lan family, burn the cottage, and hundreds of people followed the Yuan army all the way to Jinan City.

At this time, in the capital, a piece of music was presented directly into the deep courtyard of the inner palace, and the eunuch who was careful placed it on the left side of the dragon case, just pressed on the left side of a thick stack of submissions from all over the place.

"Well, from the Goshidai? Who are you impeaching? Emperor Hui finished the instructions in his hand to unfold a note, put down the wolf's pen, another little eunuch carefully took the note that had just been prepared, raised it to his mouth, gently dried the ink, and after the pen and ink were completely dried, he carefully used the seal in front of Emperor Yuan, showed it to Emperor Yuan, and then closed it and placed it neatly on a large case on the right side of Emperor Hui's steps. There have long been neatly placed the various places that Emperor Hui has approved today.

The documents from all over the world that have not been read are placed on the left side of the stairs one by one.

Since Emperor Hui came to power, he has been more attentive in governing the country than his predecessors. Since Boyan was deposed by him, he and Tokhoff have been devoted to state affairs, and every time Tokhtar presents, nothing is allowed. Tokhtar was able to get such favor from Emperor Hui, mainly because he made great contributions to the deposition of Boyan.

Get rid of the government, the power is in hand, and there are countless Mongolian Han ministers, and the Beijing division, local officials and Quan Xun look at their eyes and act. Emperor Hui saw that Totokh gradually had the old image of Boyan, although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but have some jealousy in his heart, but fortunately, Totokh paid attention to state affairs, and on the whole, it still made Emperor Hui worry a lot, so there was no superficial dispute.

This Yushitai has been getting more and more popular recently! If it weren't for the fact that they were more or less dedicated to their work, Emperor Hui would not have been able to put all the performances of the Yushitai on hold.

After taking the song and unfolding it, Emperor Hui was shocked and frowned.

At this time, Jiangbei Huai Dongdao played according to the judge. The content made Emperor Yuan feel frightened: to the effect that since the detachment of the right Cheng to conquer Gaoyou, all the way can be said to have broken dozens of thieves and wiped out countless thieves, and now Zhang Shicheng has shrunk in Gaoyou City, and the Yuan army has repeatedly designed to lure him out of the city to drown, but to no avail. The army attacked again and again, and Zhang Thief and others held on to it, which took nearly dozens of days and almost no success. Seeing that the official army was attacking in a hurry, Zhang Thief knew that he was invincible, and he put down his body many times to beg to surrender, but he was not allowed to get off, and even issued a slaughter order, but it strengthened the heart of the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death.

Emperor Yuan had known about this paragraph, but the second half of the text was terrifying.

The chapter then mentioned that Tokhtar is now mostly in friendship with the generals of various departments, and even the generals of the auxiliary armies such as the Miao Army, the Tibetan Army, the Hui Hui Army, and the Goryeo Army have also comforted him many times with kind words and added military rewards; The pace of siege slowed down significantly, allowing hundreds of thousands of troops to sit in the useless places in the suburbs outside the city, consuming countless daily food, rice, oil, salt and military salaries.

What is amazing is that the Taishi took off the army to suppress the thieves, and the official documents for instructions from all over the country were still sent to Gaoyou like snowflakes, but the center of the Beijing division was only known after being approved by the detachment. It is rumored that the state officials only know that there is a Taishi, but they do not know the rumors of Emperor Yuan.

It has been reported that the bureaucrats of various departments in Beijing often have secret letters sent to Gaoyou's account, detailing the movements of the DPRK and China. The history of Lian even suspected that he had the intention of raising a thief and waiting for the opportunity.

In the Gaoyou war, there are 800 miles of station red every day and sent to Beijing. Emperor Hui was naturally aware of the changes in the battle situation. Since Gaoyou was besieged, it has been more than half a month, and there has been no sign of victory, and gradually the court and Emperor Hui inevitably began to be impatient.

In the former, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Zhongshu Province, and even the Privy Council have a lot of impeachment and deprivation of the recitals, but most of them focus on their increasingly important authority, arbitrariness, arrogance, and disrespect for the laws of the imperial court.
