Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his eyebrows: "General Gaojian, Gaojian!" The two governors will definitely appreciate your high views! ”

Song Degang nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, in this transaction, Song Degang thinks he is very discerning. Killing the Tartars, or suppressing Zhang Zhun, which has more credit, can be thought of with their butts, and officials at all levels in Shandong can even think of it. There is simply no reason to refuse one's own proposal. Even, they may have to be more proactive than themselves to eliminate the hidden danger of Tian Hengdao.

The suppression of Zhang Zhun is a matter of responsibility, and there is no benefit at all. Even if Zhang Zhun was successfully suppressed, it was still a toss within the guard. Who doesn't know about such trivial things inside the guard? If you want a reward, that's absolutely impossible. However, if you take out the Tartars of Tayokoshima, it will be different. It is impossible for the imperial court not to reward, this is the real fame and fortune!

Moreover, his troops, as soon as they met with the Tartars, were beaten all over by the Tartars. And Zhang Zhun's troops beat the Tartars all over again. Which unit is more difficult to deal with? Three-year-olds have a choice. As long as he thinks about it, Song Degang feels that he is depressed and happy at the same time. Depressed, he was beaten by the Tartars halfway and lost hundreds of people. Thankfully, they encountered Tartar, not Zhang Zhun. Otherwise, what Zhang Zhun shot down would not be a stuffy stick, but a deadly machete.

Of course, the biggest luck is the opportunity that Zhang Zhun sent over. The Tartars of Tianheng Island, if they were in their heyday, they would not dare to take the initiative to provoke them. However, this is no longer the case. Tian Hengdao's Tartar was beaten twice in a row by Zhang Zhun and lost most of the elite. Especially this time, the loss of the Tartars must have been very heavy. The Tartars, who had suffered heavy losses in a row, obviously did not have enough strength to defend Tayokoshima. At this time, the officers and soldiers did not take the initiative to attack and reap the credit, did they still wait for Brigadier Zhang to easily pick off this peach?

Letting go of Zhang Zhun and holding on to Tian Hengdao's tartars is completely in line with the requirements of officials at all levels in Shandong. With the credit of Tian Hengdao, in exchange for an Aoshanwei commander, how to see how cost-effective, I believe that all adults will definitely support it. As for Zhao Yinying, who was killed...... Who wants to remember him? Anyway, Zhang Zhun is also a military household in Aoshan City, and Aoshan City is also under the jurisdiction of the Wei Institute in the end, so it's not a big deal.

I believe that all the adults above will not have any opinions after listening to their own explanations. Ao Shanwei is just a change of commander, what is worth paying attention to? If it really doesn't work, then give Zhao Yinying a small credit, saying that he was unfortunately killed in the battle with the Tartars, and give a little reward symbolizing his surname. Zhang Zhun succeeded him as the commander of Ao Shanwei. A report goes up and everything becomes a reality.

Everything, logically, impeccable. These splendid articles, sword and pen officials at all levels, prefects, governors and so on, will naturally be done seamlessly, without leakage. I believe that the bigwigs of the Sixth Ministry and the Cabinet are also better than less. As long as you squeeze out the pustules yourself, you don't care what means you use. As for the emperor...... He wouldn't know about it, he wouldn't know it from beginning to end.

"You lead your troops to the island and station, prepare to attack Tianheng Island, and wait for orders. I'll immediately return to Dengju and ask for advice! ”

Song Degang said decisively to his subordinates.

After the arrangement, he immediately took his own soldiers and galloped away in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion. The other officers, with their soldiers, rushed to the island. The island is very close to Tayoko Island, and the shortest way to attack Tayoko Island is to board a ship off the coast of the island.

As for Zhang Zhun's escort, they opened a distance between them and the soldiers and marched in the direction of Xiongya. Xiongyasu is also under the jurisdiction of Aoshanwei, and since Zhang Zhun has taken Aoshanwei, of course, he must control Xiongyawei in his own hands. From a geographical point of view, the strategic position of Xiongya Institute is also very important. It is the tentacles of Aoshan City, which can be tested at any time, and any wind and grass can be known in advance.

On the way, a spy suddenly came and whispered a few words quietly by Zhang Zhun's side.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Tell Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu to load all the things that can be taken away on the ship and remove them!" The people above, just leave it alone! ”

The spy went as fast as he could.

Zhang Zhun himself led the army to the cliff overnight.

At dawn, Zhang Zhun finally came to the Xiongya Institute.

This is the most dilapidated thousand households that Zhang Zhun has ever seen. The city gate has long been demolished, and from a distance, it looks like a dog's hole. The surrounding city walls are even more dilapidated than Aoshan City. Due to the lack of repairs, in the southeast corner of the city wall, a large piece also collapsed. From the place of collapse, you can enter and exit willingly. The uneven streets, the bluestone slabs have been completely pried away, and I don't know if they have been sold or pulled away and thrown away.

The entire interior of the cliff was empty from a distance. Gusts of sea breeze rolled up the dust in the sky, enveloping Xiongya City in it. It's really a bit of a yellow sand and dusty feeling. If you want to say that the dust of Aoshan City impresses Zhang Zhun deeply, then the dust of the Xiongya Institute is a bit prohibitive to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun led the war horse and slowly entered the Xiongya Place. His gaze fell on the surroundings of the Majestic Cliff. Inside Xiongya City, it seems to be a huge garbage heap. Everything that is worthless is piled up here haphazardly. Everything of value was poached. Even a few green bricks on the ground. I have to sigh that this thousand households are ruined to such a point, it is really unimaginable. Even if Zhao Yinying dies a hundred times, he will not be able to escape the blame.

The guards around him also looked around in surprise, their faces full of suspicion. In their opinion, the Xiongya Institute is also a thousand-household house, how could it be broken to such an extent? If you don't say that this is Shandong, everyone will think that it is some ruin in the desert outside the Yumen Pass in the northwest! Xiongya City was originally close to the sea, and the water resources were still relatively abundant, so it was still a bit difficult to spoil this place like this. It is conceivable that the ferocity of the Tartars and the suffering of the soldiers of the Male Cliff are also known.

After entering Xiongya City, Zhang Zhun and the others walked for a long time, but they couldn't see anyone, and almost thought that this was a dead city. None of the houses were intact, and no one could be seen inside, and the owner might have fled long ago. After walking for a long time, finally, I don't know where to go, an old man who was almost ** came out, with a black rag between his legs. He came to Zhang Zhun tremblingly, and said vaguely: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Zhang Zhun said: "I am Zhang Zhun, Zhang Yulin. I am the new commander of the Aoshan Guard. ”

The old man is obviously not very sensitive to Zhang Zhun's identity. Or rather, rather sluggish. Fortunately, in the end, he finally remembered that Xiongya was a part of Aoshanwei. Looking at Zhang Zhun with cloudy eyes, the old man was obviously a little suspicious. This Zhang Zhun is really too young, and he is actually the commander of Ao Shanwei? He said a little nervously: "It turned out to be an adult from Weili, the old decayed Tian Boguang, who is the general banner ...... here."

Zhang Zhun looked the other party up and down, thinking that the other party was joking. Tian Boguang? If Tian Boguang were like this, I'm afraid you would have to hit the wall headlong! However, the appearance of the old man convinced Zhang Zheng that he was not joking, and that his name was indeed Tian Boguang. Zhang Zhun looked around, frowned and said, "Lao Tian, what about the others?" ”

Tian Boguang said mechanically and solemnly: "The officers in the institute all went to Dengzhou Mansion and did not come back. I probably won't be back. They have been going to Dengzhou for three or four years and have never returned. The rest of the military families have fled. A few days ago, the last dozen or so military households all went to Aoshan City. ”

Zhang Zhun sighed.

Zhang Zhun asked some more basic information about the Xiongya Institute.

Tian Boguang is probably the oldest military household in Xiongya, and he can answer Zhang Zhun's question. According to him, before the Tartars occupied Tianheng Island, where Xiongya was located, it should have been the richest Qianhu in Aoshanwei. The original Xiongya has a population of more than 10,000 and more than 50,000 acres of land. At the same time, due to the unique geographical advantages, the fishing industry is also quite developed. Basically, as long as you're not super lazy, there's no problem with eating with a mouthful.

Next to the Xiongya Place, there is the Wulong River. The Wulong River flows into Wulong Bay. Wulong Bay is a very rich bay. The fish there are almost endless. As long as you get a sampan, a fishing net, and a net, you can have a pretty good harvest. Therefore, even if there is no land, you will not starve to death.

Due to the relationship between the Wulong River, the commercial trade here is also good. From time to time, merchants would park their boats at the mouth of the Wulong River to buy timber, medicinal herbs, hay and other materials that had drifted downstream. The development of commercial trade has made the shops inside Xiongya City dazzling, even compared with Aoshan City, it is not inferior.

It's a pity that with the appearance of the Tartars, all of this was destroyed.

The Tartars repeatedly went ashore to loot, and the poison raged, forcing the military households of the Xiongya to constantly move to other places and never return. A few years ago, even the thousands of households in Xiongyasu moved to Dengzhou Mansion and never returned. When people walk away from the city, Xiongya City quickly becomes what it is now. Because it was too dilapidated, the last few times the Tartars went ashore, they didn't come to Xiongya City to inspect it.

Zhang Zhun asked slowly: "The collapse of the southeast corner is caused by the Tartars?" ”

Tian Boguang said bitterly: "Exactly." The Tartars broke the city that time, but they killed a lot of people! You can't run that fast if you want to! The deputy thousand households were all captured by the Tartars, and it was later redeemed for 1,800 taels of silver. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

Tian Boguang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "You guys quickly find a place to settle down, you must find a way to retreat, set up a guard, and be careful of the Tartars coming again." ”

Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but interject and said: "Old man, the Tartars of Tianheng Island have been almost cleaned up by us. We don't go to them, it's already their luck, they don't dare to come to us. ”

The old man just thought it was crazy, shook his head, and said obscurely: "You little doll, don't talk nonsense." You still have to see the situation around you clearly, otherwise, when the Tartar comes, you won't be able to run. ”

Zhang Lingyun frowned and said, "What I said is true, Shu Buru was killed." ”

The old man still didn't believe it, and shook his head vigorously.

Zhang Zhun couldn't laugh or cry.

Well, I must admit that the consciousness of the people who stay in the Cliff Residence is a little abnormal. Because, people with normal consciousness can't live here. The Cliff was repeatedly harassed by the Tartars, and the military families fled in large numbers, that is for sure. If you want Xiongya to return to normal, the most important thing is to completely eliminate the threat of Tian Hengdao here. In other words, it is to eradicate all the tartars of Tianheng Island.

Zhang Lingyun was about to speak, but Zhang Zhun had already shook his head.

Since others don't believe it, what are you doing with so much tongue?

The facts will always prove everything.

As long as the tartars of Tayoko Island are eradicated, it will naturally become lively.

As the tentacles of Aoshanwei, Xiongya must be garrisoned, and the most elite troops must be stationed. There is no doubt that this burden falls on the First Association led by Yang Zhiyuan. The last time Yang Zhiyuan was in Xiahezhai, he was in charge, and Zhang Zhun was still quite satisfied. Now, Zhang Zhun is ready to continue to let him stand alone.

Because all the buildings in the Xiongya Institute are quite dilapidated, they cannot be inhabited at all, and even the thousands of official halls have become ruins. Xu Ziwen kicked on it, and as a result, half of the living room collapsed with a clatter, raising dust in the sky and making a deafening sound, startling everyone. If Zhang Zhun lived inside, he would be buried alive.

I had no choice but to be self-reliant. The soldiers of the entire escort team, after working at the Cliff Residence, cleaned up the garbage and washed the buildings. The rudimentary barracks were also largely repaired. The flag of the convoy was planted on the roof of the barracks. On that day, Zhang Zhun also lived in a simple barracks and spent the night bathed in moonlight.

Probably affected by the arrival of the soldiers of the escort team, one after another, dozens of military households finally moved back from the neighborhood. The ignorant Tian Boguang has therefore become the main representative of the Xiongya Institute. Those military households who moved back brought the news that the Tartars had been beaten, and Tian Boguang believed Zhang Lingyun's previous words.
