Chapter 313: Heaven Falls Apart (3)
What a bold Liu Zhibo!
"The caravan is a righteous army prepared by the gentry of the royal palace to provide food and food; Fubiao is different, it is a battalion of soldiers under the imperial court. The source of salary, the caravan of guards came from the royal gentry, and the Fubiao came from the imperial court; The source of soldiers, the caravan guards came from the slave servants of the gentry of the palace, and the Fubiao came from the guard house and recruited soldiers; The official assistant, the caravan is appointed and elected by itself, and the standard is selected according to the imperial court system. How can all these differences be confused? ”
Liao Daheng's temporary absence does not mean that his henchmen are ignorant of things. As soon as Chen Qichi got up with a grunt, he began to shout at Liu Zhibo:
"The army of the economy also has to eat! May I ask Lord Liu, the treasury is empty, where can I get the salary? ”
"Borrow! The prince ruled Shu with benevolence and righteousness, and took the lead in protecting the country and the people. When the city falls and the people suffer, how can the prince sit idly by and lend us money and food! Liu Zhibo replied.
"The big war is coming, the two armies are fighting separately, and the way to defeat is the ear!" Liao Tycoon also got up by himself and flicked his sleeves angrily.
"Naturally, we must unify the command," Liu Zhibo bowed to Liao Daheng, "Liao Gong, have you ever forgotten what I agreed on at the beginning of last month?" The concert of the court has been bowed, and now the north of Sichuan is in danger, it is better to ......"
Ah! Liao Daheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his head, and his face instantly changed.
"Lord Liu reminds me! Ben Fu has not forgotten that the agreed matter will be held at the end of next year or even the middle of the next year, and it is still very early! Could it be Lord Liu's intention, that is, to cut first and then play, and use it at this time? But in case the situation in the Central Plains deteriorates, those Donglin will have bad intentions...... Oops, this is a dilemma. ”
"If you are in a hurry, where can you take care of the future!" Liu Zhibo was anxious, "The art of war says, it is advisable to win quickly when raising troops!" Those who benefit the country for a long time have not been! The imperial court is thousands of miles away, but Sichuan is in a hurry, and it must not be delayed! Please Liao Gong make a decision quickly! ”
"Then the court will investigate it in the future......" Liao Tycoon was still muttering.
"This official inherits it as one! It's a big deal to take off the black yarn, pick up the official uniform, send it to Beijing, and behead the vegetable market! ”
Liu Zhibo was righteous and awe-inspiring, risking his life. Liao Daheng was unmoved, and still didn't hesitate to ask.
"What about Fu Biao?"
"One inclusion, unified command! It's just that the appointment and dismissal of generals are still done in accordance with the rules of the imperial court! ”
"Hmm! Can! Liao Daheng finally nodded, "Let's play the world together!" ”
……
The trio played in unison. It was Zhu Pingjin's turn, and he was surprised inexplicably.
Protecting the National Security Army?
Last time, Hong Qihui had a close discussion with Liao Daheng and Chen Qichi, didn't he report that the number of soldiers in the Protector Army was only one battalion of 5,000 soldiers? How did it become 20,000 people in four battalions in a blink of an eye?
This is clearly a pie in the sky and a good thing to pick up silver on the ground!
Fu pressed the joint proposal of the two feudal divisions, worship and play, the court and the emperor did not have a penny, and they could get 20,000 strong troops at their fingertips, how could they refuse? The only explanation is that when Liu Zhibo formally discussed with Liao Daheng and Chen Qichi, he had a new proposal!
"The National Security and People's Army can be referred to as the National Protector Army. This name is concise and catchy, and the people of the court will know its meaning as soon as they hear the military horn, and they will get it well! Zhu Pingjin tried the three.
"Protecting the country and the people is the first initiative of the prince, and the lower officials are just borrowing their names!" Liao Daheng bowed and replied.
"Who will command the Protectorate?" Zhu Pingjin looked at the three of them, ready to turn his face at any time.
Liao Daheng's head bowed lower: "The palace pays for the soldiers, and the commander is naturally the son of the world, how dare the lower officials take love?" The same is true of Fu Biao, all at the disposal of the world! ”
"The imperial court system is better than Liao Fu's command!" Liu Zhibo retorted.
Ha ha! Zhu Pingjin finally laughed, and laughed heartily.
Zi said: The name is right. As a provincial Futai, Liao Gong holds the royal flag, and it is better for Liao Gong to command! This son is young, and the world has never happened, so he can learn from Liao Gong's side! ”
……
The predicament of the government's shortage of money and food, the temptation of the brilliant achievements of the caravan, and the sharply increased military pressure prompted Liao Daheng, Liu Zhibo, and Chen Qichi, the three core figures of the Sichuan government, to make the decision to immediately establish a so-called national protection army on a large scale.
This decision was like a directional burst of the dam, which instantly released the flood of Zhu Pingjin. Zhu Pingjin has been camping left and right in the military for a long time, isn't he just trying to get an official name for his private army? With the title of the Protector, not only did the vassal king have a political safe haven for his troops, but the important thing was that he could use this name to get his hands on the world.
The four battalions of 20,000 people are just a rhetoric to fool the court and the emperor. The dam has burst, and who can decide how much water and how much to flood?
Zhu Pingjin immediately imagined that hundreds of thousands of national protectors galloped north and south of the river, swept across the Central Plains, and reached Beijing, what a magnificent it must be!
Unfortunately, dreams are always short-lived. A few fast horses galloped to the northeast. Shu Guoping, chief of the General Staff, took the lead, Zheng Anmin, Sun Hong, Wang Kunshan, Cheng Xiangfeng, Liu Mingsheng, and high-ranking officials of the royal palace all arrived together, bringing him the third earth-shattering bad news.
"Shizi, I just received the latest Tang News: Dazhou Mo Chongwen's Ministry of Culture has been transferred to the east, and Dazhou has been caught in thieves! Taiping (now Wanyuan), Dongxiang (now Xuanhan), Xinning (now Kaijiang), Kaixian, Yunyang, and Wanxian were all attacked by local rioters! Shu Guoping hasn't jumped off the horse yet, so he is in a hurry to report first.
The north of Sichuan is in turmoil, and the east of Sichuan is rising again.
Bazhou, Guang'an, Dazhou, and Wanzhou, all prefecture-level cities in Zhu Pingjin's previous life, included the northeast corner of the map of Sichuan (including Chongqing). Zhu Pingjin has exhausted his organs, and after working hard for so long, he and his wife still can't escape the fate of being picked up alive by Zhang Xianzhong and cramped!
Zhu Pingjin's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning and he couldn't stand.
"Bring a chair to the prince!" The palace officials panicked, and even Liao Daheng, Liu Zhibo and Chen Qichi were frightened and shouted loudly.
The embankment is a construction site, where do you get the chairs? A little eunuch who accompanied him immediately crouched on the ground and used his back as a bench for Zhu Pingjin. Everyone helped Zhu Pingjin sit down, some beat his back and stroked his chest, some pinched his nose and poured water, and some pinched others with their nails, and they were busy for a while.
For! Zhu Pingjian's eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as a light bulb. He roughly brushed away the dozen or so hands in front of him and roared angrily: "What is the text? Who sent the message? As the governor of Sichuan, Liao Gong commanded the soldiers and horses of Sichuan, why didn't he know anything about it? ”
"Oh, Shizi, I'm scared to death! If the prince has a bad pool, the minister ......" Zheng Anmin knelt in front of him, teary eyes, "The minister asks the prince to go back to the house immediately to rest!" ”
"This son of the world has the incorruptible body of King Kong, and he can't be scared to death!" Zhu Pingjin jumped up from the bench and swept his fingers across his ministers: "What's the matter, play immediately!" ”
"The person who ordered the transfer of troops is Lord Ding Qirui Ding, the Governor of the Military Department, the Governor of Huguang, Henan, Sichuan, and the North and South armies of the Yangtze River, and the Governor of the Trilateral Military Affairs of Shaanxi!" Sun Hong replied.
Shu Guoping then explained in detail that they had just received the report documents from Feng Ruhu and Cai Shaoyun.
On the tenth day of the first month of this month, Li Hu, a general under the local tyrant Huang Harrier, drove hungry soldiers to attack Dazhu County, which was guarded by Feng Ruhu, Cai Shaoyun and others, but was defeated by the two of them by steaming cakes. Feng Ruhu personally killed the thief chief Li Hu, chased the enemy for more than 100 miles, and captured 10,000 thieves. The gentry of Dazhu and the soldiers of the royal palace fought against the thieves together, and the squire Wang ignored his old age, and led the clan Zhuang Yong to fight with the thieves. As a result, they were outnumbered, and the entire Wang clan was martyred except for Wang Ping and Wang Xuan's brothers.
After the victory of Dazhu, Liu Mianwu and Li Ying, citizens of Linshui County, also led nearly 2,000 villagers to join the team of protecting the village. It's just that these township warriors have no weapons and armor, and they cut wood as poles and throw knives on them, thinking that they are spears. At present, there are two or three thousand village guards in Dazhu and Linshui counties. Feng and Cai asked Shizi to quickly reinforce the cadres and ordnance.
In addition to reporting victories on the battlefield, Feng Ruhu and Cai Shaojun also had an important harvest. During the interrogation of the local tyrants, they received the news that the Mo Chongwen Department of the Chu army stationed in Dazhou was hurrying eastward, leaving only a small garrison. The yellow harrier near Dazhou immediately learned of the news, and as soon as Mo Chongwen left with his front foot, the yellow harrier's hind foot entered Dazhou City under the response of the mole in the city. Now in the city near Dazhou, only the Taiping Battalion General Tan Hong's part is in Dongxiang County (now Xuanhan County) to hold the city; In Taiping County at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there are defenders of Mo Chongwen and Wen Ruzhen of the Sichuan Army.
As soon as Feng Ruhu and Cai Shaoyun's report documents arrived this morning, the two departments of the Counsellors and Supervisors received an urgent letter from Yang Weidong, the garrison of the Jia Deng Coalition Army, to the palace. In the letter, Jia Denglian's brother-in-law Mo Chongwen gave Jia Denglian a private letter, in which he said that in view of the tense situation in southern Henan, Ding Qirui, the superintendent, had already transferred Mo Chongwen to Yiling and was ready to reinforce Zuo Liangyu. Mo Chongwen didn't want to go thousands of miles to fight, and he didn't want to lose the foundation of Dazhou, but he had no choice but to act as ordered.
The information of Feng Ruhu and Cai Shaoyun and Yang Weidong's urgent letter corroborated each other and confirmed that they were correct. The overall situation in northern Sichuan is in danger. Several of them did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to report the news.
……
Liao Daheng was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and his beard trembled.
"This official is the governor of Sichuan, Ding Qirui transferred troops from this official, and he didn't even greet him! No wonder the situation in northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan will erode like this overnight! Old man...... The old man will definitely join him in front of the emperor! ”
Liu Zhibo was also very angry, waving two fists and eager to hit people.
"The official will also participate in him! Mediocre! A mediocre official who brings disaster to the country and the people! Nanyang over there has been lost, and Dazhou here has also been lost! Mo Chongwen is still trekking in the mountains! Take care of both ends, but the result is that both ends fail! ”
Zhu Pingjin said coldly: "Ding Qirui naturally wants to participate, but not now!" Now that Nanyang has fallen, it is meaningless for Mobu to transfer west. Mo Chongwen is a person who dares to fight, and Liao Gong wants to transfer Mo Bu back to Yuanxun as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in northeast Sichuan, which is the best policy! However, even if Liao Gong and you fly Mo Chongwen, I'm afraid it won't help. Liao Gong, you don't have Shang Fang's sword, Mo Chongwen is naturally more afraid of Ding Qirui. In the imperial court system, the governor only has the king's order flag, and he can't kill the generals! ”
Ding Qirui's unauthorized transfer of Mo Chongwen finally made Liao Daheng find a good reason to shirk responsibility. Listening to Zhu Pingjin's words, the old fox pretended to be hateful and sighed, and a desperate idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors. Regardless of whether Mo Chongwen was transferred back or not, the order to transfer back still had to be issued. However, it is imperative to ask the prince to send troops to help.
……
"It is imperative to increase the number of troops in the north and east of Sichuan! Since the people of the Shu government want the prince to donate money and recruit soldiers, the prince has to reluctantly make it difficult! Zhu Pingjin pretended to be modest, and in a blink of an eye saw that the bench was still crawling on the ground, so he reached out and pulled it up, and ordered:
"Record!"
Zheng Anmin and the others came in a hurry, and they didn't bring anything except a few documents. The bench beside Zhu Pingjin reacted very quickly, and immediately took out a paper charcoal from his arms and handed it to Cheng Xiangfeng.
Zhu Pingjin read aloud: "Military Mobilization Preparatory Order:
"1. The ten counties of Chengdu, Shuangliu, Guan County, Pixian, Wenjiang, Xinfan, Xindu, Pengxian, Chongning, and Jintang, Hanzhou and the four prefectures and counties of Shifang, Mianzhu, and Deyang under its jurisdiction, and the brigades of the prefectures and counties of the Chengdu Zhuang Protection Corps were immediately mobilized according to the wartime establishment.

In his political mobilization order, the superintendent must explain to all the officers and men participating in the war the importance of the war, explain the justice of the war, and emphasize the truth that our army will win and the bandits will be defeated. All officers and men participating in the battle, whether they are the caravan guards, the village guards, the officers and soldiers, the Tusi soldiers, the infantry and artillery workers, the army, the navy, and the people, will all fight under the banner of the army to protect the country and the people, and they must unite with each other, support each other, learn from each other, and compete with each other! LET THE PEOPLE AND GENTRY KNOW THAT AS SOON AS THE HEAVENLY SOLDIERS ARRIVE, THE THIEVES WILL BECOME JI FANS! In response to the urgent aspirations of the people, we should put forward targeted political slogans, and not only mention the protection of the country and the people, but also the peace of the world, but also some benefits. For example, if the Protector Army is full, the local tyrants will kill and run; For example, following the prince, dividing the field and the land; The baby is full, and the wife looks at it and smiles......"
