Chapter 151: The History of Memory Confirmation
Mu Yunyao was originally quite flustered, but seeing Li Meng's cautious expression, he felt that it was a little too much, and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade:
"There are many soldiers and horses in Jingshi, Jingying, Xuanfu, and Jizhen, and the defense should be fine, and maybe we can win a battle, so that those Tartar thieves will not return."
Li Meng smiled bitterly in his heart, hoping that if he could win the battle, the other party would not rush in so swaggeringly, he hurriedly went out of the courtyard to arrange the relevant matters while instructing, "You go over there and keep an eye on some news and announcements from all over there".
The Jiaozhou battalion immediately raised its state to the point of imminent battle, and the non-commissioned officers of each team were on alert, and at the same time, the Jiaozhou battalion also sent fast horses to send letters to Ma Gang and Zhao Neng, informing each other of the news.
The orders of the governor and the general army were also sent by fast horses the next day, and Li Meng's side still had the same old arrangement, allowing him to ensure that the garrison was calm and that there was no task of fighting. The large army stationed in Dengzhou Prefecture began to transfer defense, and some went to the border areas of Shandong and Beizhili to arrange defense and reinforcements.
On the ground in Shandong, it was because of the panic of those who exposed the posts in April, although everyone pretended to be inappropriate when they called the emperor the founding of the country, but in fact, everyone felt worried in their hearts, and called the emperor the founding of the country, which was tantamount to ignoring the dignity and authority of the Ming court.
Now that the other party's army has entered the land of Gyeonggi again, there are natural disasters everywhere, and the chaotic people in Shaanxi are making such a big noise, it is not that this day is really going to change, and all knowledgeable people have more or less similar thoughts in their hearts, but they don't dare to declare it, or they have a little luck. Daming has had many disasters and difficulties, and it has survived for hundreds of years, maybe the past few years have also been temporary, just get through.
This one is obviously wishful thinking. News continued to come here through various channels, leading the troops was Azig, the king of Doluo County, and some said 40,000 Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers and Mongol soldiers. Some people say 100,000, others say 200,000, Changping fell, Shunyi fell. Cities around Gyeonggi were defeated by the Tartars. Shandong and the border area of North Zhili, Shandong soldiers and horses were shocked every day.
The generals couldn't even restrain the soldiers and horses they received, and it is said that there was a bombing of the camp, and the Tatar soldiers were in the so-called Gyeonggi Heavy Land, the place with the most soldiers and horses in the world, and they went back and forth, as if it was a grassland outside the gate.
Li Meng was also very nervous in his heart, he didn't know whether the Jurchen Tatar soldiers had fought in Shandong this time in history, and the Jurchen Tatars should not be said to be 100,000 or 200,000. Even if Lin Lei has 40,000 soldiers, it will be difficult for him to resist, so he should fight to the death or find another way.
He thought about it here, but there were two points that he didn't expect at all, one was that there were at least 80,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong Province. The second is if the Jurchen Tartars come. Like Kong Youde, he took the initiative to surrender. In the past few years, Li Meng can be regarded as having seen what the officers and soldiers are like. Not worth leaning on. Similarly, from the ranks of the modern People's Liberation Army, he doesn't even think about the identity of a traitor, and he is ashamed of his ancestors!
The soldiers and horses on the border of Hebei were panicked, but Ma Gang and Zhao Neng's team was gradually recovering and moving closer to the direction of Jiaozhou, ready to join forces when necessary.
Li Meng's real location in Jiaozhou at this time is indeed a dead land, there are not enough ships, the sea is equivalent to a dead end, but this is the edge of the peninsula, there are three directions are near the sea without strategic depth, and the direction of the six places is mountainous, the opponent's superior forces pressed over, not even a detour place, can only be a death battle.
Moreover, Denglai is a barren land, and often encounters military disasters, whether it is a military source, grain and grass are very limited, not to mention that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court are still stationed in Dengzhou, and the resources of the people are even more scarce. Li Meng has already made up his mind, if he has the opportunity in the future, he must change places.
But what to do now, after coming, there is only a death battle!
However, the worst did not happen, and after August, the Dongyu Jurchen Tartars, with their looted land and goods and more than 100,000 people, left the customs at Lengkou in the north of Xifengkou and returned to the outside of the customs, and the danger of Gyeonggi was lifted.
The whole world is relieved, it seems that God blesses the Ming Dynasty, and the army stationed in the border area has also withdrawn to the station, this time the Beijing Division has not transferred troops to the king, but only dispatched the Beijing Division and the soldiers of the nearby border towns to meet and resist, although there is no victory.
But the soldiers and horses of Shandong were really scared, and the soldiers and horses of the Dongyu Nuzhen hit the area of Dacheng recently, which was far from Shandong, and it only took a day to arrive with a fast horse.
When it was almost the beginning of September, Li Mengcai restored the deployment of his side to its original state, but the production of salt farms on the side of Jimo and Lingshanwei never stopped, and the swords and swords on the ground were killed and killed, but the Zheng family's fleet seemed to have nothing to do, and came to pull salt and traffic as usual.
This made Li Meng quite envious, the life of the overlord on the sea is calm, but the green salt business in western Henan has stopped, and there has been no ship of salt delivered for more than two months, but fortunately, after having business with Fujian, the impact is not great.
Changing one's own garrison is simple to say, but in fact there are too many aspects involved, not to mention the various procedures to be passed through to move the defense, the soldiers under his command are all locals of Laizhou Prefecture, more than 6,000 soldiers, and almost tens of thousands of families are involved.
In mid-September, the messenger who went to Beijing to deliver the letter finally returned to Jiaozhou City, and it was delayed for about half a year on the way back and forth.
This messenger is Li Meng's personal soldier, and since he and Wang Hai have been to Jingshi to transport silver, they are also familiar with the journey, and Li Meng is reluctant to use Wu Tongzhi's messenger anymore.
As a result, the experience of this pro-soldier messenger is also quite interesting, after going to the Beijing Division, but now Eunuch Liu's house is already empty, this messenger is not familiar with the Beijing Division, and it is impossible to go to those yamen to inquire where the Bingbi eunuch Liu Fulai has moved.
The place where Eunuch Liu's house is located is the area where the rich people live in Beijing, and there are few officials, and the messenger inquired nearby, and the only news he got was that Eunuch Liu had left Beijing, and where he went, but he was vague.
Since he couldn't ask for any news, the messenger prepared to go back, who would have thought that the Tartars would enter Gyeonggi at this time, and the whole city of Gyeongshi would be under martial law, and the idlers could not wait to leave the city, so they were trapped inside. In the following days, the situation will naturally get worse and worse, and don't even think about going out of the city.
Later, the whole city dispatched the people to repair the city fortifications, and the messenger who lived in the inn, although he said that the road guidance procedures were complete, could not escape this transfer. He was tired and tired of working in the capital for several months, until the Tartars left Gyeonggi with the plundered booty, and then he was able to return.
Now Li Meng's system has a rather interesting rule, that is, whenever there is news from the outside world, report it in the main hall where Li Meng is located, which is a normal rule.
However, what is a little different from before is that there is a screen behind Li Meng, and Mu Yunyao sits behind the screen, listening to the reports and news outside, which are either analyzed by her or a channel for her to understand the outside.
The matter of Li Meng's side is also spread outside, and some of them are called "hanging the curtain and listening to politics......
The same is true when the messenger comes back this time, after staying in Beijing for so long, there are always many questions to ask, and after hearing the news that Liu Fulai doesn't know where to go, after that, Mu Yunyao asked Li Mengdao in private:
"Could it be that I ran away with the money!?"
This question made Li Meng couldn't help laughing, although Mu Yunyao has the influence of family and education, and is inherently more sensitive and profound than others in this aspect of politics, but after all, she is a young girl, and some things still can't be understood, he said with a smile:
"If Eunuch Liu asks me for 50,000 taels of silver, do you think I should dispose of it?"
Mu Yunyao pondered for a moment and replied:
"It is the most important thing to have such Austrian aid among the Jingshi, so it is natural to raise it for him."
"That's right, I have to give it to him anyway, how could Gonggong Liu run away, otherwise why mention that borrowed word on the letter."
Hearing Li Meng say this, the girl was thoughtful......
The administrative system of the Ming Dynasty is still complete and abnormal, and the Dongyu Jurchen has only come out coldly, and the Di Bao, Tang Bao and proclamation, as well as various formalities and documents, which have been interrupted for a period of time, are going out to various places, but even when Azige, the king of Doro County, led his troops on a rampage in Beizhili, there were still orders, wills and twists and turns to go back and forth, but some minor things were just abandoned.
The Jurchen Tartars entered the customs, the world shook, but the aftermath of this matter has not subsided, but there is a major event, the camp of King Gao Yingxiang was intercepted by the troops of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, near Xi'an Mansion, and after the two sides fought for four days and four nights, the officers and soldiers attacked with fire, defeated the army of King Chuang, and captured Gao Yingxiang alive.
What kind of person is Gao Yingxiang, who is the co-leader of the world's rebels and thieves, and is regarded as the representative of the Shaanxi rebels. "Li Meng has a lot of dealings with those reckless people in the rivers and lakes, and in the eyes of these people, this Gao Yingxiang may want to be the emperor of the Dragon Court in the future.
Who would have thought that such a character would be defeated by the official army and captured by the Jingshi to be cut by a thousand knives, it seems that these anti-thieves have been exhausted.
