Text Chapter 398: The First Storm Strikes
After dark on the 25th day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, at the moment when Yuan Keyi, the tiger of the Heavenly Storm, launched all the attacks on Jincheng Wall, Tumenchang and Xinzheng Dam, Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu who was in pain, lay in Liao Daheng's car and secretly moved to Langzhong City, the capital county of Baoning Prefecture.
The city of Langzhong is well walled, the terrain is dangerous, surrounded by rivers on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the safety is guaranteed. It has always been the center of northern Sichuan, which is convenient for command and control. In the west of the city, there is the Shouwang Mansion built when the King Shou was in the Baoning Mansion, there is the Phoenix Mountain in the house, and the Panlong Mountain in the north is far away, which can be used as the line of Zhu Pingjian.
In the eleventh year of Shouwang Hongzhi, he became a feudal feudal feudal officer, and six years later he moved to De'an. At present, although the Boryeong Mansion and the North Sichuan Provincial Office are in the Shouwang Mansion, and some of the partial palace courtyards have been requested to be sold to the private family (Note 1), due to the strict etiquette system, the Shouwang Mansion Carrier Hall and most of the palaces on the central axis are in an idle state, and no one dares to live in it.
Because they have been idle for one hundred and thirty-eight years, these majestic palaces have become dilapidated with the loss of time. It is absolutely impossible to stay without extensive renovations. The walls of Shouwang's Mansion have also been demolished, but the high walls of the inner courtyard of the Mansion are still there, which can provide a sense of psychological security for a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Since Baoning Mansion has so many advantages, Zhu Pingjin decided to gradually transfer the military command center and logistics base in northern Sichuan from Xinzheng Dam to Langzhong City, and set up an advance command post of the Chongqing Military Region in Shouwang's Mansion to command and supply the officials and troops in northern Sichuan nearby. This forward command post was temporarily under the command of Liao Daheng himself, and the troops of the Protector Army and the Sichuan Army and the Chu Army in Baoning Province were all under the command of this command post.
……
In the middle of the night, Zhu Pingjin, Liao Daheng and their entourage, under the assistance of the He clan and Zhuang Ding, crossed the Jinguan pontoon bridge in the south of the Jialing River and entered Langzhong City.
After the disaster, Ge Qizuo, who was on the northern Sichuan patrol road for the rest of his life, learned the news in advance, and led Baoning to kneel at the head of the Nanjinguan pontoon bridge outside Langzhong City to greet him at the head of the Nanjinguan pontoon bridge outside Langzhong City. Zhu Pingjian's body was itchy, so he ordered Zhang Wei to come forward to announce the decree, not to accept foreign officials to see him for the time being, but to ask the skinny and tearful Ge Qizuo to get in the car and talk.
The group entered the city through the south gate of Langzhong City, Jinping Gate, and settled in a deep and quiet compound next to the North Sichuan Provincial Office in Shouwangfu. However, Zhu Pingjin did not get much leisure time for self-cultivation and recuperation, because before dawn on the second day, emergency reports came from Xinzheng Dam and Cangxi County.
Xu Shoucai, who returned to Xinzheng Dam, reported that the captives confessed that Yuan Keyi, a local tyrant, had launched a major attack on the line from Xinzheng Dam to Jincheng Walled City last night, and that Xinzheng Dam, Changping Mountain, and Tumenchang were all confirmed to have been attacked.
The Dongshan stronghold on the outskirts of the Xinzheng Dam was besieged by the local thugs, and three bonfires were lit, indicating that they were engaged in a bitter battle.
Bonfires were also lit at the strongholds of Goldfish Mountain, Xiaodong Mountain and Bird's Nest Hill on the periphery of the Xinzheng Dam, indicating that the periphery of the Xinzheng Dam had been fully engaged by the enemy.
Changpingzhai sent a fast horse to Xinzheng Dam to report that Tumenchang, north of Changping Mountain, was attacked at night. From the top of Changping Mountain, it can be seen that the Tumen Field is full of flames, and it is estimated that a new squadron led by Zhu Laopa, who defends the Tumen Field, is more than lucky.
There were also sporadic local thugs on the wall of Xinzheng Dam who climbed the city at night, and they happened to be attacked by Xu Shoucai, who had just crossed the river to reinforce him. Xu Shoucai was furious, and he had ordered that all the more than a dozen captured bandits be killed. He is organizing troops, planning to relieve the periphery of the Xinzheng Dam after dawn, and then enter Changping Mountain along the official road to reinforce Tumenchang.
Cheng Xiangfeng, Wang Daniu and Wang Xingwu, who rushed to Cangxi County, also jointly reported:
Wang Chaoyang's rebels rushed to attack Cangxi, and had no choice but to abandon more than 200 wounded soldiers, and hastily retreated in the direction of Jianmen Pass yesterday afternoon. His rearguard guarded the mountain pass and blocked the approaching pursuers.
Hou Tian
Hou Yingqi, a partial general of the Xi Division, led more than 100 cavalry to join Gyatso's 3rd Cavalry Battalion. In the evening, Hou Ying took the handwritten letters of Hou Tianxi and Cheng Xiangfeng, personally entered Wang Chaoyang's rebels, and fought to recruit Wang Chaoyang. At present, Hou Yingqi has not returned, and there is no news. They were worried that Wang Chaoyang would take the opportunity to delay time, so they asked for instructions to attack immediately after dawn.
……
The candle flame jumped, Zhu Pingjin was half-lying on the sickbed, and there were two copies of the Tang newspaper on the quilt. Liao Daheng sat upright in front of the couch with a serious face, while the accompanying staff and staff officers such as Qian Weihan, Liu Mingsheng, Hong Qixin, and Liu Wenyu stood quietly aside.
Liao Daheng was the first to break the silence: "Shizi, the sudden counterattack of the local tyrant must have been informed by Zhang Jimeng, a rebel minister. Those who are worried about the old ministers are not the first line from the Jincheng Walled City to the New Deal Dam. Yuxi in the middle lane, Ma Gan on the first line of Enyang, Zhang Zuokai's department and Jia Deng's joint department on the right lane are also in danger! Now there are three strategies of war, defense, and withdrawal, and the old minister's intentions, they are not enough to fight, and they can't withdraw, so it is best to defend and hold on until the reinforcements arrive. IF THE NATIONAL PROTECTOR ARMY CAN QUICKLY DISPATCH A REGIMENT OF STRONG SOLDIERS TO THE NORTH, IT WILL USE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE ARMY AS THE HAMMER AND WANG XIANGZHI'S BAZHOU AS THE ANVIL (ZHEN), AND ATTACK THE EAST AND WEST, AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH WILL ATTACK ......"
Qian Weihan also said: "Shizi, Dong Weng, now Wang Chaoyang can't be beaten." As long as Wang Chaoyang is willing to be appeased, he can immediately use more than 1,000 troops to the middle or right lane......"
Zhu Pingjin didn't speak, he glanced at Liu Mingsheng, who was silent, out of the corner of his eye. Liu Mingsheng reported in secret yesterday that the spies he sent to contact Zhang Guang's death mailbox could not return in time, and it was estimated that there was a problem on the road. Without intelligence support, then you can only make blind decisions again.
Liu Mingsheng didn't speak, and Hong Qixin beside him opened his mouth.
"The prince, the meaning of the minister, is not to move at night and move during the day!"
Seeing Zhu Pingjin sweeping his gaze over, Hong Qixin hurriedly added: "Shizi, the local tyrant is familiar with each other, and the Protector Army attacks the main country with guests, and the terrain and military situation are the first to suffer, so the attack must be fierce, but be more cautious!" At present, we are seriously understaffed with troops, and we have only five or six companies and less than 1,000 men from Xinzheng Dam to Jinchengzhai City, and we still have to shoulder the task of garrisoning. If you attack blindly and encounter failure, the overall situation will be bad!
The minister thought that the repair of the Guang'an army should be quickly ended, and a powerful part should be dispatched to come. General He's headquarters has been on the road for three days, and according to the calculation of the footsteps, they have arrived at Shunqing Mansion, and they will cross the river at dawn today. The minister suggested that they did not have to cross the river, and immediately went north to Pengzhou, and then directly from Pengzhou to Jincheng. Jinchengzhai has sufficient food ......"
Hong Qixin's words were interrupted by Zhu Pingjin: "The meaning of his letter is that the original planned March general offensive must be advanced?" ”
"Exactly!"
Hong Qixin's body shook and made a standard upright posture.
It seems that we still have to fight in advance.
Zhu Pingjin sighed in his heart.
Now the strength of the Protector Army in northern Sichuan is abundant. In Luodu, south of Guang'an City, there are five infantry battalions that are being reorganized and trained, including the 4th, 5th, 14th, 15th, and 16th infantry battalions. There are the ninth, tenth, twelfth, and thirteenth battalions of Jincheng Mountain between Yuechi and Yingshan that are clearing out the Black Tiger Chaotianxing. The 8th and 17th battalions in Qu County and Sanhui Town.
The strength of nearly 10,000 troops of the above 11 battalions can be gradually withdrawn as mobile troops and joined in the Battle of Bashan. However, most of these units have been newly organized, and neither military training nor ideological transformation has been completely completed. Hastily transferred to the front, will there be a rout of the 10th Battalion at Guangmenpu?
Zhu Pingjin had no bottom in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Pingjin suddenly caught a glimpse of the corners of Liu Wenyu's mouth trembling slightly, so he named Liu Wenyu: "Wenyu has something to say?" Okay, okay, no, just talk about it. If a staff officer has something to say, how can he fulfill his or her duties as a staff officer? ”
"I think the knives and guns of the tyrants are not terrible......"
The prince was called in public, and Liu Wenyu was a little nervous, but he quickly relaxed.
"We have more soldiers, food, and people than local tyrants. It only takes a month or two, and the local tyrants will definitely be defeated. It's just that the local tyrants rely on knives and guns to control the people, and even mix among the people, which makes the soldiers unable to guard against it. The minister said in vain that all the people of northern Sichuan should be moved out of the mountains, the villages should be burned and blown up, and dead cats and dead rats should be put into the wells, so that the local rioters will have no food to eat, no water to drink, no houses to live in, no clothes to wear, and no forts to defend in the mountains! In this way, the local rioters can only go out of the mountains to rob, and just collide with our swords and guns. If they stick to the mountains, sooner or later they will become dead! ”
No wonder storytellers are vicious. Liu Wenyu is a weak reading seed, but he didn't expect that a proposal would be such a poisonous plan! Zhu Pingjin suddenly felt impressed by the Liu family's father and son.
"Hmm! Wenyu's strategy is feasible! Feasible! Zhu Pingjin was still thinking, and Liao Daheng had nodded his head frequently, and it seemed that Liu Wenyu's strategy was right for his appetite.
Zhu Pingjin concluded: "This is the policy of clearing the countryside! It is to create a no-man's land in Bashan! Just like the Jincheng Walled Land, there is no village or person outside the city, and those who can run have fled to Pengzhou, Yingshan and the south. The local tyrants had nowhere to plunder, no food and clothing, so they had to go out of the mountains and take risks. It's just that...... This tactic should not be abused, lest it injure the people by mistake. This prince thought that this policy should be implemented together with Wang Xingwu's relocation and integration of villages and armed villages, so as to achieve the effect of complementing each other......"
As soon as the deployment was set, everyone went out and did what they had to do.
Spring makes people, and it's a new day.
Zhu Pingjin finally became idle, wanting to catch up on sleep but couldn't sleep. So he ordered the eunuch Zhang Wei to open all the windows and doors of the room, so that the spring light outside the window could shine in. The window lattices are opened, and a tall magnolia tree appears in the middle of the patio. The big tree has branches and no leaves, and the magnolia blossoms on the branches, which is a good season for jade and orchid. It's just a little eunuch, who has set up a short ladder and is climbing a tree, stretching out his arm to pick off the magnolia flowers on the branches and put them into the flower sac on his back.
"It's not good for good flowers to grow on trees, why should you pick them?" Zhu Pingjin asked casually.
"Lord Shizi, Zuo Tong wants to smoke a cup of magnolia tea for Lord Shizi. Zuo Tong said that in the past few days, the son of the world has a dry mouth and a stuffy nose and heavy tongue, which is because he is anxious about state affairs and his heart is on fire. This magnolia flower is warm and spicy, and the main ventilation is here, and there is a box of Langshan fragrant tea offered by the old lady of the He family, so the slave and maid are the masters without authorization......"
Zhang Wei was busy bringing mouthwash tea and hot towels, and when he heard Shizi's question, he hurriedly replied. He was extra careful these days, because another attendant eunuch, Yang Xuetao, was sent back to Chengdu by the prince in the name of delivering a letter, and he never returned, which made him feel a little drummed.
"You have a heart." Zhu Pingjin nodded slightly.
Whether in the past life or in the present life, the image of the eunuch has always been associated with negative terms such as obscenity, greed, and power, and it is even said that the eunuch's lower body has a lingering smell of urine. In the midst of it, I realized that there was no smell of urine on the eunuchs, and there were more loyal ministers among the eunuchs than among the ministers.
"Don't be busy, let's listen to the recent military situation first. I've been busy for days, and it's hard to miss urgent matters. In the future, in addition to Miss Luo's letters, you can open the military newspapers from all over the country first, and report them at any time if you are in a hurry! Zhu Pingjin instructed Zhang Weidao.
Zhu Pingjin's meaning is to let Zhang Wei, the little eunuch who serves with him, officially enter the Zhu Office and become the secretary's side of the leader. Zhang Wei is a clever ghost with blinking eyebrows, how can he not understand the meaning of the master?
Note 1: Xiang Mu found important historical materials such as the request of officials of Baoning Prefecture to sell the Shouwang Mansion and the price of materials and silver in the Guiwang Mansion in the Sichuan Provincial Library.
