Chapter 459: Generations of Planters (Thanks to the Brick Movers)
Although the night had ended, everything was still in order, and everyone in the Jinglu Mansion was mobilized. The grain and grass to be prepared, the men and horses to be dispatched, the ordnance to be taken away, all things have a mature system.
"As soon as the husband leaves, what should Mi deal with?" Wu Yong asked.
"All the men of the Nami clan moved to the middle of the barracks and stationed there, and all the horses were collected, and this time they went to the northwest, with three thousand men and six thousand horses. The Mi clan, all of whom were unarmed and collected, were stationed in the barracks, well guarded, prepared food and wine every day, and no one was allowed to move around at will. After the battle was over, Mi Zhenwu easily didn't dare to think about it anymore. Zheng Zhi seemed to have already made up his mind in his heart, and he knew that as long as the party and the country were destroyed, Mi Zhenwu would probably be honest.
"Xianggong, do you want to bring more people?" Wu Yong said again, although Wu Yong had never seen the party, he knew in his heart that the party members were extremely good at fighting, and Zheng Zhi led 3,000 men and horses too little.
"If you don't want to bring more, if possible, it's best to bring 50,000 people. When will Nai not stay with me, 50,000 people will march like this, and they will not be able to reach Qin Feng for two months. 3,000 men and 6,000 horses will arrive in 20 days. The war in the northwest is uncertain, and I can't wait that long. Zheng Zhi knew in his heart that the battle in the northwest could not be fought for so long, and neither side had the capital to fight a protracted war, so it could only be resolved quickly.
Winter is coming, and if it drags on, the party members will inevitably lack food and clothing. If these people don't go back to take care of their cattle and sheep in Kaichun, they will have big problems next year in Xixia. The Great Song Dynasty did not have the capital to fight a protracted war, not for anything else, money and food were a big problem.
"Xianggong, what did the Xianggong of the farming family commit, it is really unwise for the Tokyo official family to change the commander at this critical juncture." Wu Yong also complained in his mouth, everything in Cangzhou was in order, but this matter was really sideways for Cangzhou, disrupting the rhythm of many things.
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said: "It's not that the farmer is guilty, but he can't be the master himself, and he can't command the battle according to his own intentions. But some people in Tokyo are afraid that he will make his own decisions. Helplessly, maybe I will have to face this kind of problem in the future. ”
Wu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and he already understood a rough idea in his heart, in the final analysis, two words, suspicion!
Wu Yong was no better than others, thought for a moment, and asked: "If Xianggong is a farmer, what should I do about this?" ”
Zheng Zhi's eyes were cold, and Wu Yongzhi felt creepy when he saw it.
Wu Yong hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Students should die, students should die." ”
Zheng Zhi stared at Wu Yong for a long time, and suddenly asked coldly, "Then what do you think I should do?" ”
Wu Yong's treatment of Zheng Zhi is not simply loyal, which also includes the realization of Zheng Zhi's ambition for Wu Yong. Wu Yong couldn't hold back his question, obviously afraid that Zheng Zhi would talk to the seed master, so he obeyed. If this is the case, one day it will be Zheng Zhi who will be replaced.
At that time, Zheng Zhi, no matter how good he was at fighting, no matter how big his official position was, whenever he was stained with the word "suspicion", everything was in vain. The so-called ambitions of Wu can only be paid along with Zheng Zhi.
Wu Yong was looking forward to Zheng Zhi's answer, which was naturally the kind of restless or disrespectful words. If Zheng Zhizhen immediately answered such a sentence, Wu Yongxing might be uneasy, and Zheng Zhi obviously lacked some city mansions.
This is the entanglement of the human heart.
Wu Yong raised his head lightly and glanced at Zheng Zhi, and then quickly lowered his head, Wu Yong had already seen something in Zheng Zhi's eyes and reactions, and this Zheng Xianggong in front of him understood and understood what he said.
Wu Yong took a deep breath of air, mustered up some courage, and said: "I don't know how to be a student, but the student thinks that the method of planting a family is not advisable. ”
Wu Yong still said it vaguely, but he also said it clearly. Wise people speak, but that's it. The meaning is already understood, and the Dao of the Seed Master is naturally the one who will receive the emperor's favor in such a world and will not disobey. So what else can be done besides accepting orders and obeying orders?
Zheng Zhi retracted his sharp eyes, and didn't look at Wu Yong, who was kneeling in front of him, and only said: "Next year, after the battle with Liao next year, the Cangzhou soldiers will probably also be unarmored and return to the field." You have a lot of sinister strategies in your belly, so tell me how to avoid it? ”
Where did Wu Yong think that Zheng Zhi would suddenly ask such a question, this question Wu Yong had never thought about. This is the difference between the strategist and the lord, Wu Yong is more determined when encountered, but Zheng Zhi thinks more about the future.
The strategists plan things, and the lord strategizes. is the best fit.
Wu Yong knelt on the ground, his mind was racing rapidly, and he was silent for a long time, and Zheng Zhi was also very patient.
There is a kind of tranquility between the two, but there is another communication in the thinking of the two.
When the words came to this, after Wu had made up his mind in his heart, he would no longer hide it, and only said: "Xianggong, there are two ways to deal with this matter." If the name is not justified, the general will not accept the foreign military orders, ignore them, do not remove their armor, and do not return to Beijing. ”
Zheng Zhi didn't comment, and asked again: "What about the right policy?" ”
"The justifiable strategy is a little vicious, it is the strategy of human life, provoke a war, and fight with the Jurchen!" Wu Yong replied again.
Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Hehe... Wu Xuexue said that he was vicious, but he thought it was really vicious. Take the initiative to start a war with the Jurchens, and you don't want to think about what to do after defeat? ”
Wu Yong heard Zheng Zhi laugh and returned, and his heart was also a lot calmer, and continued: "War or non-war, real war and false war, the public has its own decision, and the students dare not say much." ”
Zheng Zhi smiled lightly, and didn't talk about this topic anymore, among the two answers, which one is better, Zheng Zhi obviously has thoughts in his heart.
When Zheng Zhi came, he also instructed: "Tell Zhulong to prepare more grain and grass, there will be a shortage of grain in the northwest, collect some carriages, all of them will be used to transport grain, all the way to Qinfeng, and it will continue until the end of the war." ”
Cangzhou is now not short of grain and grass, and there are large ships that continue to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to Cangzhou. Zheng Zhi ordered this, fearing that after he arrived in the northwest, the grain and grass would be unsustainable.
Wu used to do things, and he was busy all night, and the yamen was noisy, and no one could sleep in the back yamen.
Xu, Master Li, and Jin Cuilian all knew that their husbands were going to go on the expedition again. The three of them didn't sleep for a long time, they all sat in the inner hall and waited, and they waited for a long time, and they didn't see Zheng Zhi come back.
It wasn't until dawn that Zheng Zhi returned home, and Niu Da, who came back after passing the order, also followed up with the internal government and took some changes of clothes and shirts that Xu had prepared earlier.
Zheng Zhi just said a few words, tied up his armor, and turned his head and went out.
One hundred and ten people in the martial arts school were waiting in armor early, and Hu Sanniang was also in armor. It wasn't until the soldiers came that everyone went to the barracks and school grounds to gather.
Naturally, the course of the martial arts academy cannot be stopped, although he has to rush and go into battle, but Zheng Zhi has all these people with him, and naturally he has to continue the course.
The army marched out. Three thousand iron horsemen, six thousand war horses, galloping all the way. Many of the horses were originally Michael's mounts, and they were all requisitioned and taken away.
At this time, the seed master Dao who was in Weizhou held the holy decree in his hand, and his face was pale, and some things still backfired after all.
I really didn't expect things to come so quickly, the party members had already occupied countless empty cities, and were assembling at Rouwolf Mountain and Killing Bull Ridge, and when the soldiers were strong, the big war was already imminent.
Originally, according to the plan of the planter, when the Hengshan border blocked the party members from going south to the military peak, it was the time of strategic reversal, and the shift from defense to attack would inevitably work.
There were no extra troops to deploy in Lingzhou and other places, so they retreated to the original sphere of influence, relying on the advantages of the terrain of Hengshan and the defense line that had been operating for many years, as long as the party and the soldiers were blocked. The army assembled by the Seed Master Dao will go out of Hengshan again, and this is the time for a decisive battle.
It is also impossible for the party members not to fight, and the party people do not have so many troops to put in more than a dozen cities, if the party people hold on, the division will gather superior forces and armaments, and they will inevitably be broken one by one. The party members are not good at defending the city, so they can only gather a large army to confront the planter.
It's a decisive battle on the left and right.
It's just that now, this plan has just begun, and it has already been stillborn, and instead has been accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
The Qincha from Tokyo, holding Zhao Ji's gold medal, stood in front of the Seed Master, these Qincha were not from the Privy Council, but the officials of Zhongshu Province were the mainstay, supplemented by the officials of the Yushitai.
"The kind of minister, the incident happened suddenly, we also know that the kind of minister has a lot of helplessness, but the holy will has been decided, and I also ask the kind of minister to act in accordance with the holy decree, which is wronged, after arriving in Tokyo, I will always see someone to know." The leading Zhongshu provincial official said.
The seed master Dao looked at the holy decree, and only after a long time did he answer: "Errand, let me ask, I don't know which official will arrange to go to the northwest to command?" ”
"The official oracle, Hebei Zheng Zhi takes over the military affairs of the northwest."
Hearing this, the seed master nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "Has Zheng Zhi already set off?" ”
"Zheng Zhi thought that he should have just received the holy decree, and he may have just left."
Seed Master Dao couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and only said: "Zheng Zhi is no better than others, if you want to know the stakes and interests, you must come non-stop." Hopefully it's still too late. ”
The seed master Dao was still relatively relieved about Zheng Zhi, and when he heard that Zheng Zhi would come to the northwest, his heart was half relieved. The only worry is that the situation is changing too quickly, and Zheng Zhi is coming too slowly.
"Planter Dao, let's go, I can't wait for this drudgery, the official family has been waiting in Tokyo for a long time, now I will leave for Qinzhou, and take your brother to Tokyo to face the saint." At this time, the one who spoke was naturally the official of the Yushitai. This imperial history platform usually has no authority, neither jurisdiction to manage, nor good people to govern, only when others are unlucky, is the time for them to show off their might. All day long, I probably wondered how to impeach officials.
The Taoist heart of the planter is like ashes, hundreds of years of farming, generation after generation of loyalty, I don't know why it will end up like this today. If the two brothers arrive in Tokyo, who can know whether it is a blessing or a curse, if they are lucky, maybe this family will also be preserved, and the authority will naturally not be discussed. If there is no luck, this generation of farmers will end here, and the two brothers will probably spend their days in prison.
"Wait a while, wait for a certain letter to go to the north, and arrange the defense of the city." The last few letters of the Seed Master Dao were naturally written to Liu Fa Zhe Keqiu and others, and the city was bound to last, at least until Zheng Zhi arrived. In this way, Zheng Zhi can be left with a good situation.
After all, these plans made by the master made a wedding dress for Zheng Zhi. Regardless of victory or defeat, Zheng Zhi cannot be held back.
A few Tokyo officials did not stop it, and it obviously didn't matter how many people were saved in Zhongshu, but a few people in Yushitai were a little cautious, that is, they wanted to wait for the master to finish writing the letter, and then take it to see, maybe there were several crimes in the letter.
Obviously, these letters disappointed these officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory a little, and there was no other trespass than to arrange the war. If the Seed Master Dao really wants to trespass, where can these people show off their power in front of him, and where do these people still have the life to check the letters of the Seed Master Dao.
The two brothers are both feudal officials, and they are in charge of countless soldiers and horses, but they can't resist a holy decree, and they probably don't want to resist this holy decree.
