Chapter 156: Lechang rests

Lechangcheng was taken down in this way with dramatic, almost bloodless.

Even when Qin Meng led people to break into the county office, Lechang Zhixian simply surrendered. Zhang Jian, the county governor of Lechang, although he is old, his neat surrender is also a last resort.

The war between Shaowu and Yongli has been extremely scraped on the ground, and even Lechang County has some showdowns.

It is always inevitable to use silver before soldiers.

Lechang's financial resources were exhausted, and there were no soldiers stationed there, so all the soldiers who had formed a system were transferred to the south.

He was empty-handed, fist-free, and brave, how could he resist the army.

It seems that after passing the hurdle of Wujiang, the rest of Zhang Xuan's things are smooth sailing. He sat in the hall of the county government and said to Zhang Jian: "Mr. Zhang, where are you from?" ”

Zhang Jian said: "I am from Quanzhou, Fujian. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Who else is in the family? ”

Zhang Jian said: "There are still seven old wives and children in the family, and I don't know what their situation is now? ”

After 17 years of Chongzhen, the situation in the world is changing rapidly. For a lot of ordinary people, ordinary people can't do anything about such a situation. It can only be passively accepted.

Like Zhang Jian, when he came out to sit in office, he became an enemy country.

These situations are always embarrassing.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "What are Mr. Zhang's plans in the future?" ”

Zhang Jian said: "The young man is old, and he just wants to be able to grow old in his hometown. ”

"It's a good old age." Zhang Xuan said: "If Mr. has this intention, how can I not fulfill it." As long as Mr. does one thing, Mr. can not only die in his hometown, but even bring a title of Daxia on his body, and Mr.'s children are my noble sons of Daxia, and the future of ordinary people is also very different. Sir, you can be interested. ”

Zhang Jian heard Zhang Xuan say this. His heart moved suddenly, if he said anything else, he might not care, but when he said that children, it is a common problem of ancient and modern parents, and the heart of loving children is the same in ancient and modern times.

Now that it has surrendered, there is naturally no chastity archway. Zhang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what the general commands. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "So, so." ”

Soon in the heavy rain, the sound of loud gongs and drums sounded, and he said: "The county magistrate has an order to recruit people." One man will give one penny a day. The number is not large, until the levy is full. ”

At this point, the small county of Lechang is boiling.

The people's livelihood is in distress, which is the state of the whole of Guangdong and Guangzhou. War has always been the most devastating to people's livelihoods. The price of one penny a day is high enough for this small place.

Moreover, the government has never used money to recruit people.

This time it was very good.

Under the auspices of Zhang Jian, almost no one in the entire Lechang County knew that the head of Lechang City had changed its banner. Zhang Jian also gathered enough people to go north by boat as an oarsman.

Throughout the day, Zhang Xuan successively gathered the Xu Capital Department and his headquarters people, counted them carefully, and found that more than 1,000 people had been lost on their mouths, and perhaps some of them were still hidden on both sides of the Wujiang River. But there aren't too many such survivors to think about.

Zhang Xuan and there is no fluke mentality.

And these horses can no longer be used for a while, for no other reason, after the thrilling Wujiang rapids. Many soldiers felt the same as Qin Meng, their spirits were either high or low, in short, they were not in a state.

And it was raining heavily, and many people were soaking wet.

If it is not dealt with in time, the epidemic in the army will not be handled. No matter what Zhang Xuan thought, he had to rest in Lechang City for a day.

However, with Zhang Jian's cooperation, in Lechang City, no soldiers were found in the latest process, and it was not the Ming army, but the Xia army.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhang Jian's long-term prestige in Lechang County, but it is also related to Xia Jun's military discipline.

Needless to say, the military discipline of Zhang Xuan's headquarters is also first-class, which can be regarded as inheriting the tradition of the Qi family's army.

So if you don't pay special attention. There are also some houses conscripted by the army, such as the school palace, yamen, monasteries, warehouses and other places. No one noticed that an army had suddenly arrived in the city.

However, it is not without people.

Zhang Xuan sent Ma Sanbao to guard the city gate and block all access to the south. Lechang is a small county in the mountains, and it is more waterway to Shaozhou. It's also good to blockade.

But the only problem is that from today, Shaozhou will lose all news about Lechang.

However, the transmission of news in this era is very slow, and Shaozhou City may not be able to quickly feel the abnormality on Lechang's side. Plus there was heavy rain as a cover. It can dispel the suspicions of others.

Heaven and earth have always been fair, and this sudden heavy rain brought Zhang Xuan a lot of trouble, but also brought a lot of problems to the Ming army.

It's just a matter of who can take the chance.

The Ming army did not seize the opportunity to annihilate Zhang Xuan in one fell swoop, and now it is up to Zhang Xuan to seize the opportunity.

After a whole day's work, the ships in Lechang County were empty, and it was very difficult to go upriver in the turbulent water.

From Pingshi to Lechang, there is a drop of 53 meters in the Wujiang River. The conscripted men swim against the current. It takes a day and a night, or even a little longer, and it takes less than an hour to go down the river from Pingshi.

Soon, on the second day of Zhang Xuan's stay in Lechang, Deng He arrived with Linying Camp.

When Deng He saw Zhang Xuan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that the general is safe and sound." ”

Zhang Xuan laughed and said: "If you want me to die, this Wujiang is not enough, but there are many old brothers who have gone, but it is my fault." ”

Deng He said: "When marching and fighting, there will inevitably be an accident, how can you say that the general is at fault?" It was they who were destined for this. ”

Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart, of course he knew that it was his fault. It's just that his descendants all defend his intentions, and they deliberately downplay the things in Wujiang, and more than 1,000 of them are all counted as dead in battle.

Even if Zhang Xuan was willing to overturn this conclusion, it would not be good news for the dead soldiers, after all, dying in battle is different from the bereavement in non-combat deaths.

Classifying these people as war deaths may not represent the truth, but it is the best account for their families.

There are many people who seek the truth, but in fact, the truth is not beautiful.

Zhang Xuan is also not good at disobedience, which hurts everyone's hearts. Ignoring this one thing, he said, "You came just in time, you came to do one thing." ”

Deng He said: "Please give the general orders." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "You will sit in Lechang County and take over the rear team." Lechang Zhixian Zhang Jian can help us. But after all, he is a newcomer, I can't believe it. ”

"General, let's do this a little too fast." Deng He said.

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said: "I talked to Zhang Jian, Guangdong Province, the troops are gathered in Chaozhou, and Zhaoqing are two, and the rest of the place is empty. But once Shaowu reacted, things were very bad. So it has to be fast. After you take over the team, don't stop in Lechang, and don't leave a single soldier in Lechang. Let Zhang Jian stay in his original position, let Fu Shangrui stay, set up a grain station, and prepare to transfer materials from Hunan. ”

Zhang Xuan arranged them one by one.

In addition to the loss of personnel in Wujiang, the biggest loss is the loss of materials, and a lot of armor is regarded as part of light clothing, after all, after falling into the water in iron armor, there is no way to survive at all.

There are all sorts of other supplies as well.

It can be said that when Jinhuajun and Zhang Xuan's personal guards arrived in Lechang County, they were almost empty-handed.

These people need to be replenished. It must be called urgently from the rear.

Deng He nodded and agreed.

Zhang Xuan said: "My back road will be handed over to you." ”

Immediately an order, Xu Du led his troops to become the vanguard, from Lechang County, along the east bank of the Wujiang River to the south.

The heavy rain was still not a little lighter, and everyone was wearing a hat and a hat, but the mud under their feet was still difficult to move, but after a day and night of adjustment in this era, the Jinhua sergeants had recovered from the panic of the day before. They were all told that Shaozhou Achievement is an empty city, which can be lowered in one fell swoop, and will be rewarded for meritorious deeds when the time comes.
