The Mongol troops outside the city saw the ambush and fled in astonishment. Only then did Zhu Sheng order to raise torches on the walls of the four cities, and all the officers and soldiers of the city were driven to the city walls to help defend together, and then brought several Mongolian soldiers to the palace for interrogation.

Even if the head of a brand is caught, he still seems very unconvinced. When he was escorted up, he shouted: "I haven't met an opponent since I entered Shuzhong!" It's a good man who leaves his name, and when the commander-in-chief comes, he will be killed one by one, so as not to become a nameless ghost! ”

Mr. Zhao slapped the table and shouted: "They are already prisoners under the ranks, and they dare to be the hardest, don't you know this" He paused, turned his head and asked, "Which part of you are from?" ”

His funny appearance couldn't help but make all the generals in the hall laugh, and Zhu Sheng shouted to the sign under the steps: "We are the vanguard of Zheng Yunming, the deputy capital of Jing'e, and the deputy capital of Zheng is leading the army to Jiading Mansion in the starry night, and the days of wreaking havoc in Sichuan will not last long!" ”

The head of the brand was stunned, and then shouted loudly: "I know that there is a Shu general in the army, and he has been killed by the army." What is Zheng Yunming? ”

Zheng Yunming's fame rose during the Jinghu Offensive and Defensive Battle of this year, and before that, except for the Mongol army that went to Jinghu, only Ogedai Khan and a few Mongolian generals knew about Zheng Yunming's fame. Wang Shixian's troops who went south to Jiading Mansion this time were newly annexed to Mongolia, and the army only knew that Cao Youwen was powerful, but they didn't know the weight of Zheng Yunming at all.

Zhu Sheng said coldly: "It doesn't matter, you will soon hear more and more about the name of Deputy Dutong Zheng." ”

General Zhao wiped his sweat and asked, "When will Deputy Dutong Zheng arrive in Jiading Mansion?" ”

Yao Zhong said: "The deputy capital commander is ordered to protect the whole of Shu, and he will not advance to such a frontline place as Jiading." Our army is only the vanguard of the deputy commander, and he himself has led a large army to Chongqing Prefecture, and will use Chongqing Mansion as a base to defend the whole Sichuan. ”

General Zhao didn't say anything, but secretly thought in his heart that the territory of Sichuan is so vast, and there are several unification level figures alone. This Zheng Yunming is at best just a deputy commander, and he is a guest general who came from Hubei to reinforce him, and as soon as he came up, he said anything to protect the whole of Shu, and it was inevitable that there was no one in his eyes.

Not only the envoy of the Jinghu system, but even the imperial court has also noticed this problem, if it is said that those who support 10,000 troops will not be given the position of capital commander, it can be regarded as Zheng Qingzhi feels that his son is too sharp and deliberately suppressed. Now Zheng Yunming has grown into the backbone of the Jinghu Theater, and the 12,000 soldiers under him have also become the core combat force of the entire Jinghu army. It is difficult to fully display the true strength of this army with the deputy commander of the army alone.

When Zheng Yunming led the army to the east, he received an official letter from the Ministry of War to make up for the official position, at this time the imperial court had not yet begun to officially issue meritorious awards for the Jinghu operation, but because the emperor intended to let Zheng's son be a young hero, he was appointed as the commander of the right state, temporarily took over the Lizhou capital that had been wiped out by the whole army, and appointed him as the deputy envoy of the Kuizhou Road pacification, under the Kuizhou pacification envoy Lupu, but stationed in Chongqing Mansion, obviously let him stand alone and become the front-line commander of the war against Mongolia.

This arrangement, as long as it is a person in the officialdom, who can't see the intentions of the imperial court? Therefore, after receiving the report from the imperial court, Peng Daya, the governor of Chongqing, led the civil and military ministers of Chongqing to travel several miles to meet Zheng Yunming's fleet by the Yangtze River.

They waited by the river for a long time before they saw an official ship coming slowly under the towing of the slender man. The official ship was nothing more than an ordinary envoy's boat, and it docked on the dock in the consternation of everyone. Several civil and military officials disembarked and waited, and then a young general stepped out of the cabin.

Looking at his age, he is only in his twenties, even if he is too young to play the role of the magistrate, but he already has the honor guard of the deputy capital, who can Zheng Yunming be? Peng Daya hurriedly led the civil and military officials to greet him.

Zheng Yunming finished his salute to everyone, and said with a smile while holding Peng Daya's hand: "How is Peng Gong's "Black Tartar Story" written? ”

As soon as Peng Daya heard Zheng Yunming's words, there was like a thunderbolt in his ears. Wanting to write down in detail what he saw and heard about his mission to Mongolia, as intelligence information for the imperial court to understand the north, was an idea he only had at the end of last year, and to this day he just wrote a sketch, and he hasn't even thought of a name, Zheng Yunming's words are extremely appropriate titles, but I don't know how Zheng Yunming knew about such a private matter?

Zheng Yunming looked at his shocked appearance and said with a smile: "The princes of the upper reaches have always thought that Tianfu is self-contained, but they don't know that as long as a person has a heart, any secrets can be discovered, let alone the financial resources of Jinghu to explore the populous Sichuan?" As he spoke, he suddenly looked around the officials of Chongqing Mansion coldly with sharp eyes.

It is difficult to control in Shu, almost becoming a common disease in the Great Song Dynasty, since Cao Bin defeated the Meng family, there have been repeated changes in Shu, and it is even more difficult to control since the southern crossing. In addition to repeated mutinies and disobedience, Wu Xi swept the whole Sichuan people to try to cover the left, surrender to the Jin State, and use 100,000 troops down the river to take the bad deeds of Jiangnan. From the Xuanfu officials sent by the imperial court in Sichuan to the ordinary officials and ordinary people, they don't seem to take the orders of the imperial court too seriously. So much so that the imperial court's impression of Sichuan is quite bad, and although Sichuan is known as Tianfu, it is the most rampant, and the harm of redundant soldiers and redundant personnel is better than that of Jiangnan. Sichuan is full of flowers, but the fiscal revenue and expenditure are in deficit, and the imperial court needs to subsidize more than 10 million yuan every year to barely maintain the financial balance. It is no wonder that the DPRK and China have repeatedly called for giving up Xishu Jiangnan and building a country themselves.

Zheng Yunming understands that running Sichuan well is of key significance to the entire Great Song Dynasty. The rugged mountains in eastern Sichuan are the best place to restrain the Mongol cavalry, and the Mongols' habits are from a high vantage point, and Sichuan is an ideal battlefield in line with their traditional tactics. In the next ten years, the Mongols will continue to throw heavy troops into the Sichuan battlefield, trying to break through the Shunjiang River from here and take Jiangnan. To run Sichuan well is to keep the Great Song Dynasty and the Yanhuang legal system.

But to run Sichuan well, we must first convince this group of local officials who are used to being local overlords. After Zheng Yunming glanced at everyone sharply, he immediately turned to a gentle tone and said: "I know that you are loyal ministers, and the court sent me today, not to put me above you, but to work together, the court has always believed that with the ability of the civil and military ministers of Sichuan, it is possible to govern Sichuan and defend Sichuan. ”

He, an official with such a young age, made such wild remarks when he just set foot on the land of Sichuan. Officials in Chongqing, however, trembled and did not dare not be serious. Like the officialdom in Jinghu, the officialdom in Sichuan has eyeliner in Jinghu. Jinghu has recently had some official changes, what heavy political measures, and what newcomers have risen. Within 10 days, it will inevitably reach the ears of Sichuan officials, and although the official messengers of the imperial court are not able to communicate with each other, the private news of officials in various places is spreading rapidly.

They have long understood the deeds of this deputy governor of Zheng, not to mention that when they received the official document a few days ago, they had already received gossip, claiming that this Zheng Dutong had received a letter from the emperor and wanted to go to Sichuan to deploy war and defense matters. As soon as he got off the boat, he gave the officials who greeted him a dismount, which confirmed the rumor. At the moment, everyone was careful, for fear of offending this "Qincha" who was not a Qincha.

After everyone greeted Zheng Yunming and came to the prefect's office of the small archway in Chongqing Mansion to sit down, Zheng Yunming asked: "What was the situation in Sichuan back then, the river road was not open before, and we faced the onslaught of the army led by Qu Chu, so we really didn't have the opportunity to take into account the direction of Sichuan. Since the death of General Cao and the fall of Chengdu, what is the movement of the enemy army, where is the Mongol army still stationed, and where is the second prince Kuoduan stationed. Which states and counties were breached by the Mongols, which were ravaged by the rangers, and which are still in our hands? How are the forces of our army deployed? How much combat power is left in Shuzhong? How much money and food is left? ”

Everyone listened to his questions like a cannon, and they all fixed their eyes on Peng Daya, in terms of official rank, Peng Daya is the prefect of Chongqing, although he has just taken office, and he has not yet added the title of deputy envoy of Sichuan, but in terms of official rank, he can completely suppress Zheng Yunming, who appeases the deputy envoy, and only he has the qualifications to discuss with Zheng Yunming.

Peng Daya talked to Zheng Yunming unhurriedly.

"After the fall of Chengdu, the Hu cavalry went out in all directions and plundered almost every prefecture and county in the western Sichuan Plain. The armies of Hanzhou, Meizhou, Pengzhou, and Yongkang all fell, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Hu people, and Qiongzhou in the southwest of Chengdu Prefecture also fell, and Zhizhou was killed. In addition, the Mongol army swept Zizhou and Puzhou in the north of Jiading, and was preparing to attack Jiading. Moreover, Mongolian rangers swept through the wilderness appeared in all prefectures and counties in eastern Sichuan, burning manors, destroying crops, and killing people. Alarm calls were heard everywhere. ”

"But the enemy has recently suddenly returned with a division, and he is in a hurry, and the Mongolian cavalry in various prefectures and counties retreated on their own overnight, presumably because the capital won a great victory in Xiangyang and killed Qu Chuna, so the Mongolian army is in a hurry to return north."

Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said: "There is a saying in the army, that Qu did die of illness on his own, not the military exploits of our army, Futai means that there are no heavy troops of the Mongolian army in Shuzhong now?" ”

Peng Daya nodded: "If it is said to be a heavy army, now there is only one left, that is, the Gongchang Shuai Wang Shixian Department stationed in Qingshen County, known as more than 30,000 people, according to the analysis of the front-line battle report, at least there are more than 20,000 cavalry, and there is no army in Sichuan that can compete with these more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the field." ”
