Chapter 114: The Clouds of War
Hearing Li Zhi's words, the senior generals all looked at Li Zhi again, and secretly said how capable Li Zhi is? Dare to say that you are not ashamed to rely on yourself to keep Fanjiazhuang? The Tartars have been attacking cities over the years, and their ability to attack cities has increased very much, and it is not something that a moral officer can defend. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info heard that Fanjiazhuang is rich, and when the Dongnu army comes, won't Fanjiazhuang be overthrown?
Is this son a madman?
The group of ethics officers standing beside Li Zhi were a little stupid, and secretly said that this Li Zhi is very confident? He let us flee into the big cities of the state and county, but he had to lead his troops to defend the land, and he was all out of the limelight alone! He didn't know that Dongnu used 10,000 people to attack the city at every turn, and the fierceness of the attack was not something that a moral character could bear? What if there are more than 1,000 dings?
Fortunately, this stupid thing to die has nothing to do with other people, and the integrity officers sneered in their hearts, and secretly let him Li Zhi be in the limelight.
He Shishou was different from other generals, he knew that Li Zhi had strong soldiers and artillery, and had made many military exploits, but he believed Li Zhi's words a little. He smiled when he heard Li Zhi's words, glanced left and right, as if showing off the bravery of his "relative" to other officials, and said with a smile: "Li Zhi, the Dongnu soldiers are skilled in fighting with bows and horses all year round, and defending the land is not child's play, do you know the difficulty of guarding Fanjiazhuang?" ”
Li Zhi arched his hand and said, "The lower official knows. The subordinate has the confidence to hold it! ”
He Shishou nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Since you have confidence, I will allow you to guard Fanjiazhuang." If you can hold on, I will definitely give you credit! He turned his head to glance at the other guards, and said: "The rest of the ethics will transfer all the soldiers, horses, men, money, grain, pigs and sheep in their tunbao to the nearby prefectures and counties according to the plan, and this matter will be done as soon as possible!" ”
A group of ethics officers hurriedly clasped their fists and replied: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Leaving the governor's yamen, Li Zhi returned to Fanjiazhuang.
At this time, Fanjiazhuang was already a first-class combat readiness, and the soldiers slept in their clothes at night, and immediately rushed to the city as soon as they heard the alarm, full of the atmosphere of the war. Li Zhi was worried about the Tartar sneak attack, so he asked the Xuanfeng battalion to select more than a dozen squads of veterans to be sent to dangerous places in the north, east and west, and to serve as sentries in squads. These sentinels were equipped with binoculars, each equipped with two war horses, and were on guard at dangerous places, and when they encountered a large number of Jiannu, they immediately rode back to Fanjiazhuang to report the military situation.
News from the front line came one after another:
On July 22, the rebel Bo Jingcheng Xizhimen, the Qing army tun 0 river. Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, was finally forced by the situation and had to let the general soldiers everywhere serve the king. The Ministry of War passed on 5,000 people from Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shan0 East, Wang Zhong and Mengruhu from 4,000 people, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Da 0 Tong, and Dong Yongwen, the general soldier of Bao 0, 5,000 people, the ancestor of Dashou of Shan0yong, and the general soldiers of Guan, Ning, Ji, and Mi, with a total of 17,000 people.
On July 24, the news of a thief came: Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting in Zhou 0 to Heishuiyu and was being escorted to the capital.
Hearing this news, Li Zhi couldn't help but groan.
Since the battle of Ru 0 Zhou, the bandit force has been much worse than before, coupled with the endless supply of soldiers and horses from all over the country, the bandit force is invincible, and there is no way to escape in the plains, and they have all fled to the mountains. These thieves lacked food and salaries in the mountains, and their morale was weakened, and it was only a matter of time before they were exterminated by the officers and soldiers.
The capture of King Gao Yingxiang is a portrayal of the thief's predicament at this time.
However, at such a critical moment, Dongnu invaded Gyeonggi just right, forcing Chongzhen to summon the world's soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses from all over the country were transferred back to the Beijing Division, and the great cause of encircling and annihilating the thieves fell short. In a few months, the thieves will have to kill the encirclement of weak officers and soldiers, and they will poison them for thousands of miles.
Huang Taiji's intention to cooperate with the thieves to weaken the Ming Dynasty is obvious.
On July 23, the Qing army captured Liang0 Township.
On July 25, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked the governor to send reinforcements from various towns, and Xu Zhi; Give Shang Fang sword, give 10,000 gold, and reward 500 cards.

On July 28, the Qing army captured Bao0 Di County! Zhao Guoding, the county magistrate, Fan Shu, the chief bookkeeper, Zhang Liushi, and Zhao Shixiu, the instructor, all died.
Hearing the news of the capture of Bao 0 Di County, the atmosphere in the vicinity of Tian 0 Jin became even more tense - Bao 0 Di County was under the jurisdiction of He Shishou, the governor of Tian 0 Jin. The capture of Bao 0 Di means that the Qing army has entered the territory of Tian 0 Jin.
On July 28, Li Zhi sat at home, hugging a somewhat panicked Cui He.
These days, the people in the city have been organized, and everywhere they are engaged in the construction of city defenses, building antlers to resist horses, collecting rolling stones and sasswoods and other utensils. The soldiers and horses in the city ran and shuttled, and the soldiers were all shuttling back and forth with loaded guns and ammunition, and the scene of a big war was coming, which frightened the timid Cui He.
"If the lady is afraid, I will send you back to Tian0jin and hide in the courtyard of the Li family in Tian0jin for a few days?"
Cui He grabbed Li Zhi's wrist tightly and shook his head vigorously.
Li Zhi asked, "Is the lady afraid?" ”
Cui He nodded vigorously.
Li Zhi asked, "Then why don't you go to Tian0jin?" ”
Cui He said quietly: "I'm afraid if you're not by my side!" If the city is broken and you die, how can I live alone in Tian0jin? It's better to stay here with you and stay with each other. ”
Li Zhi felt the strong affection in Cui He's words, and teased: "You didn't have me before you got married, and more than ten years have passed!" ”
Cui He said angrily: "That's different, now that we are married, no one can do without anyone like a mandarin duck!" ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, none of us can do without anyone!" ”
Cui He turned his back to Li Zhi and said, "Moreover, now I have it!" ”
Li Zhi was stunned and asked, "What's there?" ”
Cui He said loudly: "I have a child! She glanced at Li Zhi with a smile and said, "I looked for Lang Zhong yesterday and said that I am a happy pulse, and I am pregnant with a child!" ”
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "There is no mistake, right? Conceived so soon? ”
Cui He's eyes widened, and he said with his fingers: "It's not fast, we have been married for more than a year!" ”
Li Zhi smiled, hugged Cui He into his arms, and said, "Then what is our child's name?" ”
Being held by Li Zhi, Cui He seemed to be much more relieved, and said loudly: "Then I have to wait for your father to choose a name!" I don't know how to choose a name! Cui He grabbed Li Zhi's wrist tightly and said, "Husband, you have to keep Fanjiazhuang, if you can't keep it, our children will be gone!" ”
Li Zhi said arrogantly: "I can keep a hundred Fanjiazhuang, Jiannu dare to come, let them have no return!" ”
