"This Wang Shixian was a famous general when he was in the Jin Kingdom, and since he was attached to Mongolia, he has become a scourge to our army." Zheng Yunming sighed: "In order to curb the rampant ferocity of the Mongol army, we must first restrain Wang Shixian. How many people are still available in Kawanaka? ”

"The troops in Shukou are the elite of Shu." Peng Daya sighed: "In the past, when there was General Cao, he repeatedly defeated the Mongolian army and guarded Shukou. Now General Cao has been defeated, and the rest is not enough. Jinzhou Dutong and Yanwei are the last remnants of the Shukou soldiers, and they are still in Jinzhou in the north, with only a few thousand people left, and the Mongol army will definitely capture him and annihilate him. Kuizhou Road pacification made Lu Pu have 10,000 horses in his hands, and his combat effectiveness is not strong, and the others are just some state and county guards, among which the strongest combat effectiveness is the current Jiading Mansion's garrison Xiongbian Army commander Wang Kui, although he has only 5,000 military horses, including 1,000 cavalry, brave and good at fighting, just a man"

"How is it?" Zheng Yunming asked: "In the management of the national dynasty, the fierce people must be wild and difficult to control, are they the gangsters who disturb the local bandits?" ”

"Don't just nuisance places." Peng Daya sighed: "This Wang Kui, the Sichuan people gave him a nickname called 'Wang Yasha', thinking about this name, I also understand, if you meet him, you will die, and if you touch him, you will die." I heard that he was stationed in Jiading Mansion, and his biggest hobby every day was to catch rich and noble people to torture them, put dustpans on people's heads, and light fires around them to intimidate, or hang a bowstring on his nose and put them on a wooden shelf, or use wood to press people's legs, or forcibly pour vinegar on people, the purpose is only to get some money, if he is not satisfied, he may be killed at any time. His men plundered the poor in the villages, taking chickens and ducks and ducks, and taking women captive. The villagers hated them to the extreme. But now that the Hu army is raging everywhere, there is only a little military horse left in Sichuan and a little combat effectiveness, and no one dares to touch him. ”

"I understand," Zheng Yunming said lightly, "Later, I will go to Jiading Mansion to meet this king." What is the current situation in the treasury of eastern Sichuan, and is there a shortage of grain?"

As soon as he talked about the problem of money and food, Peng Daya immediately put on a bitter gourd face: "The economy in Shuzhong was already in deficit, and Zhao Zhizhi's pacification caused the large-scale relocation of the people's mansions to Chongqing Mansion in the past year, and the materials spent on the way were innumerable. Now that the enemy has invaded, the storage of the Sichuan Consulate General and the Preparation and Procurement Department has been seized by the enemy in Langzhong, and the trade proceeds of the Tea and Horse Division, the Transshipment Department and the state capital have been intercepted by the enemy in Lizhou. Now that the vicinity of Chengdu is empty, the vicinity of Chongqing Prefecture is indeed crowded with people who have fled and relocated in advance, and there is no arable land to feed them. Even I, a parent official in Chongqing, don't know what to do. ”

"How many refugees are there near Chongqing?" Zheng Yunming frowned, starting from Xiangyang, he has no lack of experience in dealing with displaced people, and he also knows how great the pressure of mouths that need to eat is for a magistrate.

"At the beginning, it was planned to relocate 20,000 households and 100,000 residents in Chengdu, but later the news spread, everyone was in danger, and more and more residents fled to Chongqing, and later almost 670,000 people moved from Chengdu to Chongqing. In addition, those who fled to Chongqing in a hurry after the start of the war exceeded one million people in and around Chongqing. Peng Daya held her forehead with her hand, her face was very ugly: "The government has opened the warehouse and tried to help the refugees as much as possible." But there are too many people in the vicinity, and if this continues, the whole of Chongqing will soon be looted. ”

On the way to Shudi, Zheng Yunming had already thought about these problems many times on the ship, there were no soldiers, no money, no food, Chongqing was not well prepared, and there were millions of people who had to eat, these were already clear in his heart, and as for the solution, he had also planned countless times.

"This matter is difficult to solve in Sichuan alone, I will immediately ask the court for support, the top priority is to ask the court for three things, but relatively, we have to do three things ourselves."

Peng Daya was slightly stunned, asking the court for money and grain is something to do, but what does Chongqing want to do by itself?

Zheng Yunming slowly said the plan in his belly word by word: "Food is the first priority at the moment, and the lost property also needs to be replenished. If the government agrees, I will write a letter to the imperial court in the name of the deputy envoy of Kuizhou Road to appease, asking the imperial court to allocate 500,000 stone of grain from Jinghu and an additional subsidy of 15 million yuan, which will be sent to Chongqing as money and grain for the reorganization of the people's livelihood in Sichuan. But before doing these two things, the imperial court had to do another thing. ”

Peng Daya glanced at Zheng Yunming, watching him talk about these national affairs in a sophisticated manner, without the youthfulness of a young man.

"What could be more important than a supply of money and food?"

"Before supplying money and grain, we must first open up the river road and establish a complete post station system." Zheng Yunming said: "At the beginning of the southern crossing, when Wu Jue was the envoy, it only took fifteen days for the imperial court's golden plate Pegasus to reach the front line of Shukou, and now, from Lin'an to the golden brand express shop to deliver the news, it has been thirty-eight days to arrive in Chengdu, and even many times the river road is not passable, and the imperial court cannot get any news from Chengdu at all, and the imperial court's edict is difficult to reach the whole of Shu. Therefore, the court was suspicious of Shu Chen, and Shu Chen often made his own opinions, which deviated from the major policies of the imperial court. If you want to govern Shu well and resist the fierce offensive of the Mongol army, you have to make Shu and the imperial court one, and you must work together. Therefore, I will ask the imperial court to send personnel to reorganize the post station road, and Sichuan will also fully cooperate, and within one year, it will be possible to reach the journey from Lin'an to Chongqing Prefecture in only 12 days. Let the imperial court no longer be suspicious of Sichuan, and then Sichuan can be determined. ”

The matter of reorganizing the post road, the Sichuan civil and military ministers who are used to freedom may not be willing, but now is the time to ask the imperial court, and the ministers really have no qualifications to negotiate conditions with the imperial court.

"And Chongqing can't sit back and wait for money and food, and do nothing to change." Zheng Yunming's expression was stern: "Chongqing Mansion must do three things well. ”

"First, when the money and food arrive, we will immediately launch a cash-for-work action and start a major project to build a mountain city."

Zheng Yunming did not look surprised when he saw the crowd, but many people nodded slightly, knowing that the matter of rushing to build a mountain city had long been brewing in the hearts of many Sichuan officials. He sorted out his thoughts and said loudly: "Since I came all the way west from Jinghu, the cities I saw along the way were all made of rammed earth, and some were even earthen cities built during the Three Kingdoms. When I arrived in Chongqing today, I saw that the city of Chongqing was still rammed earth. Now that the Mongols have mastered advanced trebuchet technology, they can't stop them with their earthen cities alone. ”

"For today's plan, it is to imitate the style of Xiangyang, build a city wall based on bluestone strips, double-layer bricks, after the actual combat test of Xiangyang, even the heaviest Mongolian army's 21 slightly large cannons, can not produce structural damage to this double-layer brick wall."

Zheng Yunming said: "I brought 100 brick burners from Jinghu, and after choosing the address in Chongqing, I can immediately set up a brick kiln and start work." ”

Peng Daya shook his head and said: "Chongqing is full of mountains, less soil and more stones, and the use of bricks for pacification is not as reliable as the use of stones." ”

Zheng Yunming nodded: "Chongqing has always been famous for its stones, and I also know a little about it, the use of small things is flexible, those who can use stones use stones, and bricks are suitable for using bricks, eclectic, as long as the city wall is solid is the goal, what do you think?" ”

Peng Daya nodded yes, and Zheng Yunming continued: "Chongqing alone is far from enough, the so-called city building, must build a series of support points, and then train the support points into a defensive line, and then build a solid defense area from several defense lines, and then the enemy cannot attack." Therefore, the construction of Chongqing is a smaller part of the plan, and then we will build a large number of buildings in eastern Sichuan, build mountain cities, form a complete set of chain defense system, and build eastern Sichuan into a solid base for the war of resistance, so that the Mongols can do nothing even if they have a large army. ”

"As for the location of the mountain city, I will work with all local officials to investigate along the road, and be sure to guard the dangerous passes, so that the Hu people can drill seamlessly."

Although this young man is young, he speaks in such a big tone that it takes a lot of money, food, and manpower to build a city and defend it at a dangerous place, and I wonder if he has the ability to carry out this huge plan. Everyone had this idea, and listened to Zheng Yunming continue: "The second important thing is to seek talents on the list, just for talents. Sichuan Tianfu, outstanding people, outstanding talents, there are not a few. Moreover, the local people are well aware of the geography and customs of the mountains and rivers, and they will definitely be able to contribute strange strategies. I have an idea to set up a Jixian Pavilion in the small archway, which is next door to the government office, but if there are capable people and people who can put forward constructive opinions, the government will welcome them regardless of their status. As for the food and various supplies of Jixian Hall, they are all treated according to my treatment. I don't know what Futai thinks? ”

His words were very polite, but the Sichuan officials with Peng Daya knew what the hell was in his stomach. The Song army was newly defeated, Chengdu was slaughtered, Zhao Yanna had just been relieved of his official position by the imperial court, and the officialdom of the entire Sichuan was inevitably a personnel earthquake while facing the test of war. At this time, the foreign officials who entered Shu were in a hurry to promote some of their own henchmen.

But on the surface, Peng Daya does not have any power to object, recruiting talents is a big hat, and anyone who opposes it a little will be considered selfish. Now that Li Zhi, the new ambassador of Sichuan, has not yet arrived, Zhao Yanna's old ministries are all in trouble. Only by actively approaching Zheng An, a newcomer on behalf of the imperial court, there will never be anything in the way.
