668 Target - Partridge Town

(The climax is coming, and it's a big climax that lasts for a long time, haha, the climax is repeated.) Brothers, let's subscribe or something...... οΌ‰

In Ha Bu's opinion, he has explained so much, it is clear enough, which also reflects his importance to Liang Yanqiu, otherwise, if someone else is there, he will directly order it in one sentence, why bother so much?

And he's still resentful!

Resentment and complaining has always been an excellent excuse and the main reason for the superiors to slaughter their courtiers.

Ha Bu's face was gloomy and said, "Liang Yanqiu, you don't want to?" Or do you have a grudge against Ben Khan? ”

He has always called him Mr. Liang or a military advisor, but calling him by his name today is really unprecedented, and it can be seen that his heart is already angry at this time.

Liang Yanqiu was shocked, the cold sweat behind his back was already trickling down, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare, the lower officials just heard the news at first glance, and they were shocked in their hearts, and they had no intention of being dissatisfied and resentful of the Great Khan." ”

"That's pretty much it." Ha didn't snort coldly, and said, "Go back quickly and pack your bags, and go to the Jurchen camp early tomorrow morning, don't delay." ”

Leaving this sentence is to walk away. As for what Liang Yanqiu thought in his heart, he didn't want to know, and he didn't feel that it was necessary, so he didn't care at all.

Also, as a superior person, the dictatorship of everything, the prime minister of everything, naturally can't always keep the thoughts and feelings of his subordinates in mind, not to mention, he has never been a delicate master.

If it was before, he might still pay attention to it, but now Fu Yuwei is getting stronger and stronger. In the words of later generations, everything is on the right track. Walk on the road to success. Therefore, in Ha Bu's heart, Liang Yanqiu is not so important. Of course, it's not wrong to be a minister, but a minister is also a minister, so he has to be the only one!

Liang Yanqiu touched the ground with his head, and when the footsteps disappeared, Fang Zi dared to raise his head, he stared at the direction of Ha Bu's departure, and his eyes showed bitter resentment.

Liang Yanqiu walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He didn't know how he got back to his residence, he went back to his mansion, went into the bedroom, sent off the attendants, closed the door and stared at the beams of the room for a long time, and suddenly howled and cried.

He was originally a man of temperament, otherwise he would not have served him like this because of his unyielding appreciation, so at this time, his heart was also overflowing with betrayal. The emotion of being abandoned.

And as a literati, as a literati who is in a foreign country and has been precarious for a long time, he is also sensitive and vulnerable. At this time, his emotions are no different from a resentful woman who has been abandoned by a man.

Liang Yanqiu's heart was full of disappointment and pain. Loyalty to Ha Bu, reluctance to Fu Yuwei. Disappear without a trace, and take its place. It's incomparably angry and resentful!

The seeds of resentment will sprout.

On April 26, the seventh day of Wu Yi's army crossing the river. That night, Amin sorted out a large amount of information sent back by the spies, and finally distilled extremely important information - the officers and soldiers of the Wu Yi Army stationed in Partridge Town were roughly about 20,000 people.

This is not a simple speculation, but judging from the daily food and water required by the Wu Yi army stationed in Partridge Town, the number of flags and other superficial information, the spies under the command of the Jurchens collected a lot of information in this regard, and after multiple verifications, Amin Fang dared to draw conclusions.

In Amin's opinion, this is also a more reasonable number, after all, there are so many people in the Wu Yi army, and the three-way army fighting outside already accounts for 70,000, how many troops can he still garrison Partridge Town? Could it be that he didn't need to leave troops to defend it north of Songjiang? With Lian Zining's character, he would definitely not be like Meng Lang.

After some discussion with Ha Bu, both of them agreed with this point of view.

On April 27, Liang Yanqiu was sent as a hostage to the Jurchen camp of Ali Zhiwei.

That night, 30,000 Jurchen elite cavalry, 20,000 Fuyu Wei elite cavalry, and 50,000 combined troops, taking advantage of the night, quietly went east.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Fort Stading.

It is not famous now, but it is a great name in later generations, and it is the famous Γ—Crane Γ— Gang Γ— City.

It is extremely rich, it is the place where the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River converge, and it is also the junction area of the remaining veins of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and the Songjiang River, the northwest is a hilly area, and the rest of the place is a large alluvial plain. It is one of the largest coal storage areas and coal mining areas in the country, with a total reserve of more than 2 billion tons. The fertile and vast plains, which reach hundreds of miles, enable its grain output to reach more than 4 billion catties per year -- at present, it is more than 20 million stones.

Of course, the Andingbao area has naturally not reached this level now, but after these years of development, it is also densely populated with villages, and it is an important grain-producing area in the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei.

It was once swept away by the White Lotus Sect and was in ruins, but now it has regained some vitality.

Many of the townspeople who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests when the White Lotus Sect swept here, when they saw Wu Yijun coming, they were like seeing a life-saving benefactor, they came out of the mountains and forests, returned to their villages, and began to replant spring ploughing.

Xu'an Town, Sanxu Village.

It is fifteen miles south of Andingburg, at the edge of the Warakin River.

The Warajin River flows down a hundred miles and flows into the Songhua River, and the mouth of the Warakin River into the Songhua River is not far from the big city of Zhubang.

As the name suggests, the people in Sanxu Village are all surnamed Xu, and they were originally from QiΓ— River Γ— County, the southern Γ— prefecture of JiΓ—, Shandong, and they were relocated here when the imperial court immigrants filled the northeast. After decades of development, the children of that year have become middle-aged, and the next generation has been born.

This village has also expanded to more than 100 households, more than 400 families, and life is quite good, at least there is enough food and clothing, and it is also happy.

It's a pity that the rise of the White Lotus Sect changed everything, and the people in the village were either killed, or taken captive, and forced to be thieves. The people who have escaped the catastrophe of the White Lotus Sect are only two or three out of ten. At this time they returned to their own village, but the small village where they lived and worked in peace and contentment. It's already in ruins.

When the White Lotus Sect withdrew, it not only robbed all the valuable things. It burned this place to the ground.

Fortunately, most of the dwellings here are adobe houses, and there are not many wooden structures, so they are not all burned to the ground, and some of them are still left. When the people returned, they picked up a lot of messy materials from the ruins, and built simple shelters, which were not much different from shacks. Fortunately, it's still summer, and the weather is not cold, so you can always fool around.

There's always some popularity.

The village was quiet. The field at the east end of the village is very lively.

It is a place used to grind wheat and lift the wheat skin after the autumn harvest, and the area is large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

In the middle of the field was an earthen platform, about a zhang high, and a young man dressed as an official in a green robe was standing on it and talking something, and behind him, there were seven or eight soldiers. With a knife hanging from his waist, he stood majestically.

Maybe it's because of the deterrence of those few Wu Yi officers and soldiers, or maybe it's because of the traditional awe of the Chinese people for that official robe, and there are only more than 60 people left in the village. He was hugging around the earthen platform, staring at it without blinking. They were ragged, but they were in awe. No one spoke, and the pins fell on the spot.

The young man looked to be in his twenties. Quite young, not already bearded. It looks like the temperament is also very concise and calm. He coughed lightly and said loudly: "This official Wang Chongmo is Wu Yibo, and Nu'er Gandu commanded the envoy to personally appoint this county order of Γ— DingΓ— County, and in the future, around Andingbao, 16 towns and 119 villages, all of them will be under the jurisdiction of this official. ”

The general banner of the Wu Yi Army standing behind him had already lost no time in striding up and shouted, "You haven't seen Lord Wang yet!" ”

"I've seen my lord!" When he gave him a drink, these people immediately panicked, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

"All up, all up." Wang Chongmo smiled gently and beckoned everyone to get up.

After everyone got up, he continued: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the wheat planting date has passed, but this official is here to solve this problem!" ”

The people had long been worried about this question, and when they heard it at this time, they were all shocked, and they quickly straightened their ears.

Wang Chongmo took out a handful of corn kernels from the bag behind him, sprinkled them under the stage, and said, "This thing is called corn, have any of you heard of it?" ”

The people below looked at each other and shook their heads.

This is not unusual, the news is closed in this era, and the farthest part of the activities of these people in their lives is afraid that they will not leave the village five miles away, for them, it is simply normal to have not heard the news of the land of Songjiang thousands of miles away.

"I don't know, don't worry, this official is here to tell you." Wang Chongmo said loudly: "Corn is the same as wheat, and it can grow if it is sown, but the yield is more than three times that of wheat!" One acre of land can beat eight buckets of wheat, and you can beat three stones of grain! ”

There was a burst of whispering below, and the first reaction of these ordinary people was disbelief, but out of awe and belief in the authority of the government, they were half-convinced.

"This official knows that you don't believe it, and the people on the land under the jurisdiction of the Songhua River, when they planted corn for the first time, they didn't believe it either, but do you know that almost all the corn planted on the entire land of Songjiang is now!" Wang Chongmo stared at the people below with blazing eyes: "And you don't have a choice, now that you have missed the time of wheat farming, you can only plant corn, or you will starve!" ”

Suddenly there was silence again.

As Wang Chongmo said, they have no choice, either to plant corn now, or to starve, and there is no third way to go.

At this time, Wang Chongmo threw out a bombshell again: "Wu Yibo has an order, all those who choose to plant corn will not only be given free grain, but also each person will be given 100 catties of grain to eat, and these grains can be returned to the government after the corn is harvested, without interest!" ”

"Huh? It's true? The government still doesn't want to make money for the food we give? ”

"The county magistrate also said it, can this be fake?"

"Wu Yijun is really a great master of the blue sky! In the past, those officials only knew that they came to collect taxes, beat people and steal things, where are we going to do it? ”

………………

Listening to the following discussions, Wang Chongmo smiled slightly.

He is the cousin of Wang Chongguang, the deputy commander of the 10th Guard, who is now a thousand households of the 10th Guard. With the rank of a thousand households leading relatives and a hundred households, he is a powerful figure in the army.

Wang Chongmo just finished his studies last year from Suli Hewei County School. Then he entered the civil service training course - this is already the third civil service training course, starting from the first class at the end of the 51st year of Zhengde. In the spring and autumn of each year, they have to hold their own period, and the training time is as long as half a year!

This training is not the kind of formal training, the kind that in fact cannot be learned at all, but the kind of training and study -- to turn these scholars who have just come out of the books into all-rounders of grass-roots management who are proficient in various skills. Among their teachers were experienced grassroots officials, who taught them how to govern for officials; There are officials from the Department of Taxation and the Department of Finance, who teach them how not to be deceived by the officials below, so as to ensure that there is no tax evasion; There are experienced old farmers who teach them how to farm. when to plow, when to harvest, how to build water conservancy, how to divert canals for irrigation; There were even officials from MI6 and the Criminal Law Department who came to teach them what a miserable situation it would be if they dared to take bribes and break the law!

In short, it is to build them into practical officials, who do not talk empty words and clichΓ©s, but only do real things. The results are also very good. These three training courses have trained more than 150 officials, all of whom have been sent to the following counties to serve as errand officials. According to intelligence from MI6. These young officials are energetic, energetic, and not unintelligible. The response has been very good.

Wang Chongmo is one of them.

After graduating from the liberal arts training course, he was assigned to the post of Suli River Guard. It is quite popular with the people. In early April, Wu Yijun conducted an evaluation of all the low-level officials under his jurisdiction. Wang Chongmo was among the best, so he was also brought by Lian Zining.

After occupying Andingbao, in view of the fact that there was no liuguan jurisdiction over this fertile and abundant hundred-mile land, Lian Zining set up Anding County here, and the county governance was in Andingbao, with Wang Chongmo as the county order.

And the first thing Wang Chongmo did after taking office was to go to the countryside.

Wang Chongmo explained the matters and problems that need to be paid attention to when planting corn, and he is very proficient in these things, and he is familiar with them.

Then there was the distribution of grain, and the hundred pounds of grain promised to each person would be brought from Partridge Town later.

After telling all this, Wang Chongmo took people and prepared to leave.

At this time, the sun was already setting, and the general banner who spoke before asked, "My lord, do you want to go back to the city to rest?" ”

"No, let's go to the next village. It's Wuxu Village, right? Wang Chongmo said: "Let's stay there tonight!" ”

"My lord, let's go back and rest, this village is so dilapidated, how can there be people?" The general banner persuaded: "Besides, you have already walked eight villages today, you don't need us soldiers, you can't stand this suffering." ”

"There is no suffering that cannot be endured." Wang Chongmo smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said with a firm gaze: "For the official and for the benefit of one party, this sentence is by no means empty words." Since this official is the county magistrate of this Anding County, he must step on every inch of land here, so that every citizen here can live in a house and eat well, otherwise, how can I live up to my uncle's expectations for me? ”

After that, he stepped on his horse and went first into the distance.

Looking at the thin and firm back of this weak scholar, the eyes of those Wu Yi officers and soldiers all showed admiration.

Anding Fort is located on the edge of the continuous mountain range, on top of a stone mountain, the stone mountain is not high, only about 100 zhang, but it rises on the plain, so it looks particularly majestic, it looks like a giant pillar. The terrain around the rocky hill is steep, and there is only one road leading to Andingfort, which is located at the top of the mountain.

Anding Fort is not big, only a hundred zhang long, less than half a mile wide, and only one thousand households can be stationed in it. However, the city wall is high and the terrain is dangerous, which is a very typical place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to defeat even ten times the number of troops.

The only thing that could limit it was the water source, there were no springs in the mountains, and the only way to get water was in the river two miles below.

At this time, the big flags inside and outside Anding Fort are displayed, and a huge camp is spread out under the mountain, stretching for more than ten miles, and the middle position is Anding Fort.

And the largest and most magnificent banner was planted on the head of Andingburg.

Lian Zining has led a large army to be stationed here for two days.

Two days. Stationed here, but there is no movement. Not only is it quite puzzling to the officers below, even those ordinary non-commissioned officers. I also have questions in my heart.

It's just that Wu Yijun's military law is strict, and the army prohibits the spread of all doubts about the above remarks, so they can only hold it in their hearts, and they still practice every day.

On the wall of Anding Fort, Azig and Helian Leopard are looking from afar, this is the commanding height within a radius of dozens of miles, and at a glance, the plain is reckless and unobstructed. The beautiful rivers and mountains are in full view.

Helian Leopard knocked on the female wall and suddenly asked, "Azig, what do you think?" ”

"What do you think?" Azig asked back.

"Don't pretend." Helian Leopard laughed and scolded: "You know what I'm asking. ”

Azig glanced at him lightly: "The magic of the adult is clever, I can't guess it, everything I do, has its own deep meaning, let's not guess it!" ”

He pointed to the sky: "Those of us who are subordinates just do what we are told." ”

"That being said, I don't mean to be disrespectful to adults in the slightest. It's just that adults act like this, it's really incomprehensible! Helian Leopard sighed: "Originally, I went on the expedition with the adults this time, I wanted to see the style of the adults, but I didn't expect it...... Alas"

In all fairness. Lian Zining's performance after this expedition can only be described as mediocre, just beating down some unguarded cities along the way. And now Partridge Town is delayed for three days. Another two-day delay at Andingburg can be said to have delayed the fighter. If Pu crosses the river, he will advance wildly. I can't say that I have already joined the battle with the Jurchens now.

The previous two expeditions of the Wuyi Army, whether it was a surprise attack on the Haixi Jurchen hinterland. or a strange plan to break through the White Eagle Gorge defense line, it is much more brilliant than this time.

This time, Lian Zining personally led the army on the northern front, and he also had the intention of restraining Azig and Helian Leopard, who didn't know much about him, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed at this time.

Azig is different, their clan has a deep relationship with the Wu Yi Army, so they know more. At this time, suddenly there was the sound of a horse's hooves popping in the distance, and a fast horse came from a distance, and when it came to the bottom of the stone mountain, the knight flew off his horse and ran quickly towards it.

"Look." Azig pointed at the knight and said with a smile: "I can't say, what we want is here now." ”

Before the words fell, a fast horse suddenly came in the distance, passed through the camp, turned over and dismounted at the bottom of the stone mountain, and also came upward.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and said solemnly: "It seems that something really happened!" ”

Andingbao used to guard against thousands of mansions, a typical northland house, three before and after, built in a boxy, thick and square.

In the flower hall, Lian Zining was lying on his own.

That's right, it's sleeping.

In the flower hall, an arhat couch is placed against the wall, the window is open, and a wisp of breeze gently blows in through the filter of the shade under the eaves, which has become refreshing and pleasant. In each of the four corners of the room is a small copper incense burner, in which green smoke curls up, exuding a fragrance of orchid cinnamon. This is used to repel mosquitoes, and it is now the end of April, and if you put it in the solar calendar of the future, it is already June, and mosquitoes have gradually begun to wreak havoc.

At this critical moment when the battle situation is extremely critical, and it is necessary to observe the military situation every day and constantly react to the urgent moment, Lian Zining is actually sleeping! And he slept very soundly, he never snored when he slept, but now he made a slight snoring sound.

A bamboo curtain separates the inner room and the outer room, and the outer room is leaning on the couch and wiping her sword.

She wore a goose-yellow skirt, and the whole person looked very beautiful and cute, and the big sword that was longer than her was placed on her lap, which made people feel very awkward.

The big sword is as wide as her two palms, with a thick back and a thin blade, the blade is cold, exuding a bitter coldness, and the gauze dipped in high-grade spirits gently rubs it on the blade, revealing a chill.

After wiping the sword, drying it slightly, and putting the sword into the sheath, Ye Na is holding the big sword, and the whole person shrank down on the small couch, leaning on the corner and taking a nap. The sword, it seems, was bigger than her own. She held the sword so tightly that it was like holding her own life. Although Lian Zining was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, the little girl still stubbornly believed that her body was the last line of defense to protect him.

Suddenly there was a chatter of footsteps outside, and Nona suddenly opened his eyes vigilantly, his body straightened, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the great sword.

"Mark Li Tie to see his uncle." Voices rang out outside.

Ye Nai's heart was relieved, and said, "It turned out to be Lord Li, and please wait for a while, I'll go and pass it on." ”

"Annoying lady." Li Tie's voice was very polite and respectful. (To be continued.) )
