Chapter 176: Abruptly Stopped

Yang He had long been prepared to send troops to fight, and he also knew that he had to go to Suining. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After receiving the letter, he gave the reward and sent a messenger away, telling him that he would go to Suining County tomorrow to reassure the county magistrate, and then summoned all the officers and the governors to take charge of urgent matters.

Everyone crowded the Yanghe public house, which is the third floor of the theater building, with a small area and not many chairs in the house, so there are only two generals, a few managers have seats, and the rest are standing.

However, the ninth master also has a chair, and Inspector Deng was also invited to discuss the matter, and his fat figure pressed on the chair, as if he was about to collapse the chair.

Yang He called him here, mainly to ask him to contact his younger brother to prepare the boat, tomorrow there will be many people crossing the river, and the boat of the Light Inspection Division is afraid that it will not be busy.

Looking at the house full of people, with excitement or nervousness in his eyes, Yang He said in a deep voice: "Liukou has already appeared in Lingbi, so we must go to Suining." Tidy up today, and set off early tomorrow morning. When I set out, I would take the two general soldiers, as well as the escort team, the sentinel team, the cavalry team, the grenadier team, the medical team, the baggage team and other teams. The rest of the people stayed in Xin'anzhuang and Jiaoshanzhuang, and the agricultural and public works on our side could not be stopped, so what should be done. ”

The room full of people solemnly received the order, and Minister Yang and the others showed excited expressions on their faces, finally going to war with the rogue!

Zhang Chugong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he also wanted to follow the battle, but it was a pity that he was the head of the Public Works Hall, and there were a lot of things in Zhuangzhong that he couldn't do without, but he couldn't go to Suining.

His younger brother Zhang Chujing and Zhang Chuxun stood behind him, Zhang Chujing was eager to try, and wanted to speak several times, but Zhang Chuxun was calmer.

Inspector Deng said: "Hey, what about the lower officials? Why didn't the adults arrange for the lower officials to go with them? ”

Every time you fight with Yang He, there are benefits, so this chubby inspection is quite tempting.

Yang He said: "After all, the world is not peaceful, and we can't take all the people in the village away, although there is nothing to do on the north bank now, and there is no threat around." But there may be some thieves, and the two teams of archers must stay to guard against patrols, especially not to let the thieves cross the river. The market is inseparable from Lord Deng, so Lord Deng is located on the north shore. ”

He persuaded the fat inspector to go back immediately to contact his younger brother Deng Guan, so as not to delay the army crossing the river tomorrow.

Then he said to Qi Youxin and the others: "After the army is opened, the north bank is relatively empty, so old Qi, Brother Zhang, you must be optimistic about our homeland, and at the same time supervise production, and don't let the civil affairs on our side stop." If anyone dares to make trouble or incite rumors, let him be killed! ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

Qi Youxin was stunned, hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my subordinates, Mr. Yan, and Brother Zhang will definitely take care of their homeland and not let this chaos stop." ”

Zhang Zhugong and others also assured loudly.

Yang He nodded, Qi Youxin knew this person, shrewd and sleek and ruthless, quite capable, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the steady Zhang Zhugong and others, they were in Xin'anzhuang and other places, he could go out to fight with confidence.

At the same time, he also saw the expressions of the three Zhang Zhugong brothers, and their hearts longed for him to understand, it was indeed a waste to treat them as craftsmen, but at this stage, weapons and firearms could not be separated from them, and he only hoped that more craftsmen could be recruited in the future to liberate them.

Next, Yang He explained some things, mainly the affairs of the military affairs hall, such as the military quartermaster station continued to make armor and firearms, and the training center continued to train Zhuangding migrant workers, and if there were suitable candidates, they would be included in the new barracks as a supplement to the soldiers and soldiers in the future.

At present, their supervisors are Zhang Chuxun and Hu Zhiyi, but the chief manager Han Daxia followed the battle, and the deputy chief Luo Xianjue and Yang Qian also followed, and Yang He asked the two to report to Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng about anything, and discuss it.

Qi Yan and the others, as members of the council hall, had the right to inquire about the affairs of the six halls of the council, and Yang He led the army outside, so they were in charge of these things.

He also said some miscellaneous things, such as the homeless people coming, how to contain them, how to contain them, how the household affairs hall turned out to be, how to plan, how to do the same, so that Qi Youxin and the others were a little frightened and settled down.

Everyone suddenly realized that the framework of Xin'anzhuang had already been formed and had the ability to operate on its own.

Jiu Ye sat and listened, he is now in the stage of observation and learning, and rarely expresses any opinions, but seeing Yang Xianggong leading the troops out, Xin'anzhuang can still be in order, operate well, and will not suddenly be chaotic, the formation of this kind of rules and systems makes him admire in his heart.

Qian Sanniang stood beside him quietly, and also glanced at Yang He.

As early as the planning of the first month, Yang He picked out the situation of the Ming Dynasty, the current situation of the surrounding environment of Xin'anzhuang, and explained the need for continuous development and growth.

Sure enough, Yang Xianggong said it right, the thieves are coming, their lips are cold, if they can't be blocked under Suining City, what if the thieves cross the river?

They were all locust-like things, and wherever they passed, there was not a single grass left, and everyone dared not imagine the consequences of this part of the northern shore being looted by the bandits.

And according to the plan, the grain and silver stored in the village are included in the budget, don't think about the thief, what will happen next year?

Therefore, although everyone was a little nervous about sending troops, they were more expectant and excited.

Qi Youxin also said: "Xianggong crossed the river to fight, this is for our Zhuangzi, but will there be fewer people with him, almost only six hundred and fifty people." ”

Yang He said: "At present, we have so many troops, there is no way, the archers must stay...... So we can only see clearly, see how many thieves there are, if there are few thieves who come to Suining, or if some forward troops are advancing, we will ambush them in the field and destroy them, if there are many of them, ......"

He shook his head, the current troops under his command, except for the officers in the battalion headquarters, the standard-bearers, the golden drummers, and the trumpeters, are just two general soldiers.

They have ten people as a team, five as a team, each team has a captain, two vice-captains, and a standard-bearer and a flag-bearer, a team of 55 people.

The other four teams are one general, the first and second teams are the firearms team, and the third and fourth teams are the killer teams, each of which has one commander, two deputy generals, one standard-bearer, one golden drummer, and five guards, and even the officers' standard-bearers, a total of 230 people, and two total officers are 460 people.

Then there is the battalion headquarters directly under it:

The three-in-one team of escort assault military law, captain Chen Qiuao, deputy Wang Dayi, Lei Li, all 20 people, are all ironclad soldiers.

The grenadier team also has a captain and a deputy team, a total of twenty-three people.

The baggage team also has a captain one, a team deputy two, and a team of fifty-three people, and they are still in mixed mode, with two firearms, two swords and shields, and one spear.

There are 30 medical team members and deputy medical apprentices in the team leader.

Then the sentinel team of ten people.

The cavalry corps was fifty people.

Finally, there were two teams of archers on public security patrols, one captain and one deputy of each team, a total of more than 1004 people.

At present, the armed forces of his Yang River are about 750 people.

Of course, he also has thousands of people in various work teams, and he also has a team to practice in his spare time.

In this battle, except for the archers and others, he took the rest to fight, after all, the thieves are powerful, and there are fewer people.

But even if he took most of the strength, it was only 650 people, and the soldiers were taken away, only the old and weak were left in Xin'anzhuang, and only the workers in Jiaoshanzhuang were left.

Fortunately, when following Yang He for a long time, Xin'an Zhuang left behind although it was an old and weak woman, but it should not be underestimated, in addition to being able to fight and kill, there were more than 100 sophisticated firearms in the village, and the inner part was still a very sharp breech Xin'an Gong, what to defend the village, more than enough.

On the side of Jiaoshanzhuang, the recruits are all young and strong, and they have always been militarized management, and they are also equipped with shields and spears in ordinary training, and they can also guard the village.

He also left two teams of archers, most of whom were sharp archers recruited by each village, and the backbone was the veterans of Xin'anzhuang, except that there were no firearms, and the rest were no different from war soldiers.

For the time being, there is no big threat on the north shore, the villagers guard the village and produce, the archers patrol the security, and deal with small groups of bandits and thieves, which are more than enough.

But on the whole, Yang He currently has few troops, and the number of people who can take away to participate in the battle is only more than 600 people.

It's based on the fact that the North Shore is peaceful!

Yang He sighed in his heart, the development is difficult, according to what he knows, there will be a lot of fierce battles in the future.

Not to mention anything else, in the first half of this year, the rogues who spied on Lingbi, Suining and other places were not only Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

Ge Zuo, Zhang Xianzhong and others are afraid that they will also come to get involved.

There is such a sentence in history: "In April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, King Zuojin returned and turned around, and dedicated all the thieves to camp twenty miles to Yingzhou, in order to repay the battle of Shouzhou." The two sides fought in Fanjiadian in the south of the city, and the thieves retreated in defeat, plundering the lands of Meng, Su, Ling, Hong, and Sui. ”

Today is the 30th day of February in the 15th year of Chongzhen, and tomorrow is the first day of March.

In March, even if Li Zicheng and other troops were repulsed, Zhang Xianzhong and others came again in April and May.

Battles, there are battles.

With such little money, every time you fight, you have to be cautious and cautious.

This is also the reason why he set up his base on the north bank, which is full of bandits and bandits, and it is impossible to develop production at all.

However, looking around at everyone, Yang He was ambitious in his heart, wanting to flee last year, he was only a scholar by his side, three young brothers and sisters, and now there is a land of Erzhuang, with 700 elite soldiers, 40 armored men, and 60 horse teams.

In the future, he will have more troops, his territory will be larger, and his momentum will develop better!

He slowly looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "For my new Anzhuang, gentlemen, work hard!" ”

……

On March 1, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Heqin led an army of 650 people to Suining City.

It is Taoxun, the Yellow River rises, and the mighty eastward flows away, which makes people frightened.

Fortunately, the Yellow River did not freeze last year, and there was no flooding, and it is still possible for big boats to cross the river, but they must be careful.

This crossing the Yellow River is not a joke, the river is more than ten miles wide, the wind and waves are urgent, if the boat accidentally capsizes, no matter how big his Yang River is, he will definitely not survive.

In fact, although the current here is gentle, it is not unheard of that the boat capsized.

Fortunately, there is no danger, and the inspection department and the delivery station are all big ships.

At noon, Yang He's group of 650 people all crossed the Yellow River and hurried to Suining County.

……

It had just rained for a while, and the water was still dripping outside the eaves.

It's still cold, and it's damp, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over the body.

In the guest hall of the county magistrate, the magistrate Gao Qifeng frowned, supported his forehead with his hand, but he was silent with a headache, Zheng Shixin, the chief bookkeeper, sat anxiously, the tea on the table was already cold, and he had no intention of taking a sip, he looked helplessly at Liu Zunhe, the uninvited county man.

There is also the classic history Wei Kungang......

At this time, this Wei Dianshi was chattering: "The more refugees flee to Suining, all parties say that the thieves have arrived in Lingbi, and the thieves have arrived in Lingbi!" Maybe when you will arrive at Suining City. But at this critical juncture in the defense of the city, what about our Lord Yang, where is he? He kept boasting that he had hundreds of troops and kept taking money from the county treasury, but he really saw the real scene, what about others, where did they go? Or did he not take the people of Suining City to heart at all? ”

Gao Qifeng was still silent, he was discussing tea with Master Zheng, and the two of them rushed uninvited and broke into his private house.

Especially Wei Kungang, a mere historian, dared to shout and roar at his old parents in this county.

He also knew that the army of rogues was approaching, and many people in the county were in a mess, and there were already rich businessmen who fled to Pizhou City under various pretexts, but they were the officials of the court who had the responsibility to guard the land, but it was impossible for them to escape.

Otherwise, even if the rogues didn't ask for their heads, the Holy Lord would have unceremoniously beheaded them afterwards.

Therefore, they must strictly guard the city.

It's just that there are more than 100 people in Suining City, can they really defend the city?

How many states and counties have been breached, and there are even prefecture cities, can Suining hold it?

Everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

As soon as I panicked, a lot of chaos came out.

Many of them are also exposed.

Just like this Wei Kungang and others, they don't even care about the minimum dignity and humility.

Gao Qifeng also knew that Wei Kungang was attacking under the pretext of having an excuse, dissatisfied with his appointment of Yang He as the general practitioner, and also allocated everyone's private envy surplus money to the township soldiers.

Also, I heard that he was friendly with the head of the Lingcheng gentry dynasty, and the father and son of the head of the dynasty were beaten by Yang He that night......

But Gao Qifeng can't say it, he has already sent many letters, and Yang He is all kinds of excuses.

Yesterday, he sent his cronies again, although Yang He agreed, but he didn't come, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Thinking of this, he felt a resentment in his heart, and at the same time doubted whether it was right for him to let Yang He be the head of Lian at that time.

Liu Zunhe, the county leader, drank tea indifferently, and Zheng Shixin, the chief bookkeeper, saw that Wei Kungang had been chattering, and couldn't help but say: "The county sent someone to cross the river yesterday, and the reply said that Lord Yang has already agreed, and he will come to Suining City today!" ”

Wei Kungang looked at Zheng Shixin fiercely, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes: "Promise?" How many times has the county honored the letter merchant asked? Na Yanghe always shirked, saying that he wanted to drill, drill. He's a villager, a fart. Or do you want to raise your own dignity and think of a way to get money from the county treasury? ”

He shouted: "Do you know how much silver Yang He has taken out of the treasury in just a few months? Four thousand taels! Four thousand taels of silver! This is all people's fat and people's ointment, and he Yang He swallowed it comfortably like that? Where is the conscience? ”

His voice was violent, and Zheng Shixin bowed his head submissively.

This Yang He spends a lot of money, if he comes to defend the city, the key is not to come, Zheng Shixin has no bottom in his heart.

"Where is the conscience?"

Wei Kungang repeated coldly.

"Heavenly ......"

At this time, the footsteps were mixed, and someone rushed in, but it was Tian An, Gao Qifeng's staff.

He was originally deliberately deep and indifferent, but at this time, his face could not hide his joy, and when he came in, he said loudly: "Dong Weng, great joy, great joy." Lord Yang, the head of Suining Lian, arrived, and led five or six hundred elite soldiers to come, all of them were elite soldiers, and there were fifty or sixty horsemen! ”

Gao Qifeng stood up violently, and Liu Zunhe's tea was spilled.

Wei Kungang's voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned red.
