Zhongjiang County, county office, wing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhongjiang County is close to Hanzhou, which is controlled by the Mongolian Tatars in Chengdu Fulu, which is a standard border place, and the officials and people here have always lived a life of fear, and the brutality of the Mongolian Tatars has left them with too many wounds, their property has been robbed, women have been insulted, houses have been destroyed, and tragic scenes of family destruction abound, and people with a little wealth will move out of here to live in a relatively safe place.

The same depression in the county, there are not many people to see, there are not many shops, some merchants who can operate here have such and such a relationship with the Mongolian Tatars, can be protected when the war comes, as for the officials of the county government, those who can go desperately beg to be transferred, and those who can't go are also messing around, and no one can do things with peace of mind.

After the imperial army suppressed Liu Quan's rebellion and severely damaged the Mongol Tatars, the situation here is still the same, the officials and the common people understand that their miserable situation is not valued by the emperor and the imperial court, anyway, the officials and nobles will not come to this remote border place, will not care about the suffering of the people here, everyone's mood is gloomy, and one day is counted as a day, so few of the people who were repatriated at the beginning returned to Zhongjiang County, and Ningyuan went to other places.

In the autumn harvest season, there are not many people here, a large number of fields are barren, and the defense envoy asks the local government to pay attention to farming, but the lack of people in Zhongjiang County can only look at the fields helplessly, even the deputy envoy of defense, the prefect of Tongchuan Prefecture, Li Siqi, did not deliberately danger and blame the officials of Zhongjiang County.

Wu Shaogang fully felt this, this march, when passing through Zhongjiang County, there were almost no people to see along the way, a large number of fields were barren, some broken and dilapidated houses made people sad, and the people who could occasionally be seen were also with vegetables on their faces, their eyes were blank, like walking corpses.

This scene deeply stabbed Wu Shaogang and made him truly feel the pain and expectation of the people at the border pass.

Wu Shaogang knew that such a situation would not only appear in Zhongjiang County, but also in many places adjacent to the control of the Mongol Tatars, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty could not protect the common people, and could not win against the Mongol Tatars, and only the common people would suffer.

Not to mention the common people, even the emperor in the court, several times because of the Mongol Tatar attack, ready to move the capital again, to the southern seaside.

This scene also aroused Wu Shaogang's anger, and it seems that if Tongchuan Mansion Road is truly stabilized, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Du Xiaoqi has already reported the information detected by the scouts.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and Qin Han and others, with a very good brilliance on their faces, this time the hard fight made them raise their eyebrows, and they completely annihilated the 5,000 cavalry of the Mongolian front army, and obtained a large amount of trophies, such a brilliant victory, it was the first time.

In comparison, Ma Long's face is not very good-looking, the 10,000 soldiers of the Chinese army led by him hurried to the eagle's beak, but unfortunately he was not able to participate in the battle, and the front army had completely wiped out the Mongol Tartars cleanly.

The aura on Lu Xiufu's body has changed fundamentally, when Wu Shaogang spoke, he listened very seriously, and most of the time he would open his mouth to express his approval and obedience at the first time.

Hao Jing is still like that, wearing a hat on his head and covering his face with a black veil, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly.

Li Siqi, who rushed from Tongchuan Mansion to Zhongjiang County, could not hide the smile on his face.

The Mongol Tatars suddenly retreated, evacuated to the outside of Deyang Province, and camped on the spot, without any action for two days, until the third day, the Mongol Tatars began a comprehensive evacuation.

What should be the next action of the Hezhou Imperial Army, is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, inflict heavy losses on the Mongol Tartars, or even recover some lost territory, or to stay in place and wait and see how the situation changes.

There are so many things that need to be decided right away.

"Mr. Hao, what do you think about the next move?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Hao Jing, who was wearing a hat.

Hao Jing's ability has been recognized by everyone, and his ideas often have many similarities with Wu Shaogang, and most of the suggestions put forward have also been adopted.

"My lord, my subordinates think that the former army that has wiped out the Mongolian army has made Liu Heima feel afraid, he will never dare to lead the Mongolian army to continue the attack, and it is wise to choose to retreat, after all, the place where Liu Heima is worried is Chengdu Fu Road, if there is any difference in Chengdu Fu Road, Liu Heima cannot take responsibility, but after this battle, Liu Heima's view of the Hezhou Imperial Front Army will fundamentally change, and he will definitely think of other ways to deal with it in the future."

"What Mr. Hao said is right, I think many soldiers think that it seems unreasonable to watch Liu Heima lead the army to evacuate like this, how can we show a posture, at least we should chase him for a while."

"What the lord said is that the battle of the eagle's beak made Liu Heima suffer a heavy blow, huge losses, his subordinates have understood these days, last year, Liu Yuanzhen led 5,000 cavalry, in Tongchuan Mansion was completely annihilated, Liu Yuanzhen was captured alive, less than two years, Liu Heima lost 10,000 cavalry, it is impossible to recover in a short period of time, so it is feasible to pursue the victory at this moment, at least force Liu Heima to admit defeat."

A smile appeared on Wu Shaogang's face, and he nodded frequently.

"Well, if you don't chase after it, it is unreasonable to make a deep impression on Liu Heima, but you should keep one thing in mind, our main task at present is to protect the stability of Tongchuan Road, including the border areas like Zhongjiang County, we must give the people confidence, so that they can really stabilize and dare to farm and live in a place like Zhongjiang County, as for Chengdu Road, we don't have any wrong thoughts."

"The status of Chengdu Mansion Road for Mongolia is like the status of Tongchuan Mansion Road for the imperial court, Chengdu Mansion Road connects Yunnan to the south and Tubo to the west, which is an important hub for Mongolia to control Yunnan and Tibet, if there is danger, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan will definitely do his best to maintain it, with the strength of our Hezhou Imperial Army, it is not enough to compete with the entire Mongolian army, so we can not set ourselves on fire."

"Ma Long, this time you will lead the army, lead 10,000 soldiers, and go to pursue the evacuated Mongolian Tatars."

Marlon stood up with a smile on his face, ready to accept the combat mission.

Looking at Ma Long's smile, Wu Shaogang sighed slightly.

"Ma Long, you should remember that this time you went to pursue the evacuated Mongolian Tartars, not thinking about real combat, you have two tasks, one is to absorb as many people as possible to come to Zhongjiang County to work and live, and the other is to besiege Deyang Mansion City, prompt the officials in the Mansion City to surrender, and when the situation is right, you can capture Deyang Mansion City."

"Deyang Mansion City is close to my Zhongjiang County, and the officials there must understand that they must not infringe on the heart of our Zhongjiang County in the slightest, otherwise they will die without a place to bury."

"If you have done the above two things, Ma Long, you have made a lot of contributions."

Ma Long's face became a little ugly, but he still accepted the task with his fists clenched.

"Ma Long, keep in mind my entrustment, remember not to disobey, our combat mission this time has basically achieved the goal, the rest is how to consolidate the problem, now we don't want to continue to exterminate the Mongol Tatars, the time is not yet ripe, we can't lose big because of a small loss, the Chinese army led by Liu Heima has not suffered any losses, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong."

"Report to your lordship, my subordinates remember."

"Okay, Lu Sima obeys orders."

Lu Xiufu also hurriedly came out.

"This time you followed Ma Long to conquer together, this expedition involves matters related to people's livelihood, you are directly responsible, Ma Long is mainly responsible for commanding the army to fight, you are directly responsible for recruiting the people, you and remember, Zhongjiang County is seriously lacking in population and labor, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you can't let the population of Zhongjiang County increase, nothing can be done well, and it is difficult for the border to be truly stable, as for what kind of method to use, it is up to you to decide."

"The subordinate obeys."

"Oh, do you really understand, then I ask you, how are you going to recruit people and laborers."

"The lower officials will know and reason, move with affection, and let the people move to Zhongjiang County."

Wu Shaogang shook his head helplessly, it seems that it is not a matter of time for Lu Xiufu to change.

"Lu Sima, you and Ma Long entered Deyang Mansion together, but to go to conquer, not to let you go to Deyang Mansion to be an official, this matter of recruiting the people, we must use some extraordinary means, otherwise people are living well in the local area, why follow you to Zhongjiang County, fighting is different from doing things in the court, and extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times."

Lu Xiufu's face was slightly red, but he didn't refute it, after this battle, he did understand a lot of truths that were not clear before, or changed some unrealistic ideas before.

"Xia Guan understands that he will definitely recruit a large number of people to enter Zhongjiang County."

After Lu Xiufu retreated, Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi and spoke.

"Governor Li, if you want to make Zhongjiang County truly stable, you still need to make great efforts, the first thing is that you must garrison troops here, Zhongjiang County can not be completely peaceful, and Tongchuan Mansion City will not be peaceful, I will leave two thousand soldiers, together with the soldiers stationed outside Tongchuan Mansion, to jointly protect the safety of Tongchuan Mansion, I suggest, send some sergeants, stationed in Eagle Mouth, set up a military camp there, the people see the army stationed in Eagle Mouth, it is possible to really rest assured."

"This move will increase some consumption, but it must be done, as for the increased consumption, I will find a way, and a part of the money seized from this expedition will be reserved for Tongchuan Mansion to be used exclusively for the implementation of this matter."

Li Siqi also stood up and saluted Wu Shaogang.

"The matters arranged by the adults will be implemented by the lower officials immediately."

The garrison at Eagle Mouth is not only to protect the safety of Zhongjiang County and Tongchuan Prefecture, but also to prevent the ordinary people who have been looted to Zhongjiang County from escaping back. (To be continued.) )
