Chapter 139: Rumors are spreading
Now Shunqing City has already been under martial law, the four gates are closed, the yasmen and local security regiments have patrolled the streets, and additional personnel have been sent to the city walls and city gates, and when they heard that Yang Xuan had returned to the prefect's yamen, Qian Bangxin, Fan Wenguang, Zhao Sixuan, Fan Mingshan and others were all in the lobby.

Just now, Zhang Dingguo's ministry rushed to Shunqing City non-stop.
Although most of the people were riding livestock, when they saw the rogue cavalry killed, although the village security guards along the way did not dare to lead troops to obstruct them, they blocked the way with large stones, or beat gongs and drums, so as to slightly block the speed of the army.
Of course, all this is still secondary, the most important thing is that there is a shortage of food now, people are basically drunk thin, no food and clothing, since the beginning of the war horses, donkeys have not fed much food, so serious weight loss, a day march more than 100 miles.
In addition, I have to go around the mountain road for forty miles, and I have to bypass many cottages along the way, and now there are more than 20 miles away from the north of the city.
After hearing that Zhang Dingguo led his troops to make a detour to attack the city of Peishunqing, Qian Bangji, Chen Yingzong and others had already ordered martial law.
The villagers who lived ten miles around the city basically withdrew into the city.
Chen Yingzong led the 2nd Battalion and more than 500 Nanchong Militia (1st Militia Regiment) into Xishan and fortified on the spot.
Wang Shuji, Du Jigui and others respectively led the Linshui People's Regiment and the Dazu People's Regiment (the 2nd and 3rd militia regiments) into the fortifications in the north of the city, and now Yao Zhijiao's 4th Battalion, Yang Bingyi's 5th Battalion, Liu Weiming's 6th Battalion, and Feng Youqing's 7th Battalion have also crossed Xihexi, and they can complete the deployment before dawn.
Chen Huaixi's water camp was still in the upper reaches of Pengzhou, and after receiving the military report, he was going down the river and rushed to Shunqing City to participate in the defense.
Fan Mingshan handed over the defense of Dazhou to Ma Mingluan and other local militia groups, and led his headquarters to return to the division.
To the northeast of Shunqing City is the Jialing River, and to the east and west is the Xihe River.
Seeing that all the troops had successfully withdrawn and were able to reach their destination before the Great Western Army arrived, everyone was safe.
Yang Xuan listened to everyone's introduction, while closing his eyes and recuperating, he carefully thought about all kinds of rumors about the Great Western Army in the past, and suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Everyone, have you done any research, in the past, the Great Western Army attacked the city, and sent fine workers into the city many times, and then made a temporary attack, which caught the officers and soldiers off guard.
Although we cracked a case of spy on military intelligence a few days ago, now that reinforcements from all walks of life are gathered, it is inevitable that they will be mixed up by the rogues. ”
Now that the ID card system has been established, everyone is full of confidence, and now when Yang Xuan says this, he is quite unimpressed.
Yang Xuan didn't care what everyone thought, according to the characteristics of Shunqing City, it was divided into five security areas, and the people who withdrew from outside the city into the city designated that security area.
Establish a system of responsibility for the head of the workshop, and the head of each security area is responsible for the head of the workshop, with the assistance of the head of the yamen.
Those who evacuate into the city need to go to relatives and friends, and they need to register and make a register to get the confirmation of the head of the workshop and the head of the team in different security areas.
If you need to be in different security areas, you need to get confirmation from the head of the workshop and the team leader, and issue a temporary license.
Starting tomorrow, the personnel of each chamber will be inspected to prevent the rogue from blending in.
Each chamber recruited more than 1,000 young people to carry out military training to help defend the city or save the dead and protect the wounded.
……
China is an agrarian civilization, since ancient times quite good at defending the city, in the past many famous generals have also been so guarded, has put forward that many people take it for granted, should be so.
But Qian Bangxin frowned, shook his head and said: "My lord, yesterday afternoon, the remains of dozens of soldiers killed in battle were transported back from the front line, and the injured brothers were also in the hundreds. ”
Hearing this, Yin Chengqi next to him seemed quite indignant, told the story of the battle, and then sighed: "Everyone, this lord commands the battle superbly, my loyal and righteous army is not only well-trained, but the soldiers of all departments are even more brave to kill the enemy, and some people are still spreading rumors."
Rumors stop at the wise, and slowly rumors will be self-defeating. ”
Some people didn't believe it, after all, the Great Western Army broke through the Qushui defense line in one fell swoop and approached the city.
Yang Xuan was quite annoyed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed: "What Qian Yushi said is good, I am afraid that the villain will take advantage of it and spread rumors."
In the first battle of Qushui, although our army won, Zhang Dingguo was taken by surprise and made a detour of more than 30 miles to smash our city.
Liukou are not all reckless people, when it comes to leading troops to fight, tricks and tricks, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Dingguo are all the best in the world, and now the Great Western Army is concentrating all its strength to attack, during which it is dangerous, compared to last year, our army returned to the division and defeated the local tyrant Huanglong. ”
Yang Xuan was full of confidence in the past, but now he actually said such a frustrating thing, everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, Qian Bangqi shook his head and said: "My lord, the enemy situation is sinister, I am far inferior to the adult, as long as I can hold the city of Shunqing Mansion, if the adult has any requirements, just command." ”
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "My loyal army has a total of 1 cavalry battalion, 8 infantry battalions, and 1 naval army.
Even if you add the militia regiments reinforced from all over the country and the militia regiments that have been temporarily organized, there are only more than 12,000 people in the whole army, but the only people who can really fight are these 6,000 people, and the others can at most wave their flags and shout, and as suspicious soldiers, they can defend the city and carry out rear supplies.
And Zhang Dingguo commanded 30,000 people this time, the enemy is strong and I am weak, so we need to use tactics to ensure that Shunqing City is not lost. ”
Qian Bangqi frowned, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you need to be cautious in using tactics, and your lord is now saying it publicly, probably not okay?" ”
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "It's okay, my strategy is above board, different from other strategies.
Since the Tartars invaded Beijing, the princes of Nanjing have always advocated the joint capture and extermination of the Kou, and my strategy is to unite the Kou to exterminate the prisoners, that is, to tell Zhang Dingguo that the country is now ruined, and the Tartars occupy their hometowns, and that they should no longer claim hegemony in Sichuan, and now they must unite with the imperial court to jointly expel the Tartars and restore China. ”
Everyone was shocked, and Qian Bangqi's voice trembled: "Big, my lord, isn't this, not openly singing against the imperial court?" Although the Tartars pursued Li Zicheng all the way and occupied Wuchang, although Zuo Liangyu raised troops to resist the imperial court in the name of the Qing monarch, my Ming Naval Division was strong, and it was quite difficult for the Tartars to go down the river and go straight to Nanjing.
In Jiangbei, there are four towns in Jiangbei, and there is the first assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Pharaoh Shi Ke, who is guarded, and it is impossible for the Tartars to go straight to Nanjing along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. (Now the Manqing Dynasty has occupied Nanjing, but because the news is blocked, everyone doesn't know)
In such a situation, how can an adult contradict the imperial court? ”
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows that I have always advocated the extermination of the United Kou, and now the enemy situation is urgent, I just hope that everyone will not hinder me from preaching this kind of proposition to Zhang Xianzhong and Liukou, I just hope that everyone will cooperate and cooperate. ”
Everyone glanced at each other, the loyal and righteous soldiers were strong and strong, and the generals under the tent only listened to Yang Xuan's orders, which could be said to be self-contained.
Pursued by the imperial court? Now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, what strength does the imperial court have to investigate.
Thinking of this, Qian Bangqi sighed and said: "My lord, since ancient times, it is inappropriate for the princes of the imperial court to carry out joint capture and extermination, since you say so, it's just that, as long as you can hold the city of Shunqing Mansion, then we will definitely distinguish for the adults, and we will definitely advance and retreat with the adults." ”
Seeing that Qian Bangqi was still like this, everyone expressed their stance one after another and fully agreed.
