At the same time that Li Jing stepped up the transfer of troops to the northwest of Shaanxi, the imperial court also sent Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the original military department, and Keri set off from Beijing, all the way through Xuanfu Town and Datong Town, but after entering the boundary of Daizhou, the new governor refused to leave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

really looked at the Yellow River, and received the chaos in Shaanxi, which frightened him, and he suddenly did not dare to continue westward.

As the newly appointed governor of the three sides of the imperial court, he also holds the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and his actions are really despised by others, but he also has some sympathy for him in his heart, and if he can't stand the westward advance, he may lose his life.

Those who were deliberately released by Li Jing to spread scary news, one in the east and one in the west, it doesn't look like a fake anyway, and there is also a transcript to report to the court, but when he learned that Zhang Fengyi arrived in Daizhou, Li Jing handed it all over to him, anyway, who made him the boss.

This completely frightened him, the former governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, was ambushed by thieves, and was assassinated by thieves on the way back to Beijing.

Ma Shilong, the chief military officer of Shaanxi, encountered the main force of thieves and sacrificed his life for the country.

Yang Jiamo, the chief military officer of Gansu Town, was so greedy for merit that the three thousand elite soldiers in Gansu were wiped out, and Yang Jiamo himself died on the battlefield!

Suppress the deputy chief military officer, Yansui chief military officer Li Jing, fast horse to the imperial court for help, more than 300,000 thieves gathered in Qingyang, his command five battles and five defeats, 8,000 soldiers, now retreat to Yan'an, relying on the city defense.

But the main force of the thieves attacked Yansui, and he, as the chief soldier of Yansui Town, should lead the troops to the north to defend, so he implored Zhang Fengyi to personally lead the troops into Yan'an to defend against the thief army.

But Zhang Fengyi is not a god, when he left Beijing, the rebellion in Shandong has intensified, although the imperial court and Shandong are bent on pacifying, but no matter the surrounding Tianjin, Miyun, Jiliao, Shanyong, Baoding and other military towns are heavily guarded, can not move a soldier.

So what he was able to bring to Daizhou and prepare to enter Shaanxi to quell the chaos was that there were only 800 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, 800 people, what was the use?

Li Jing led 100,000 soldiers and horses to aid Shaanxi, lost five battles and five defeats, and lost 8,000 people.

However, Li Jing was also accurate, if he did not give reinforcements and grain and grass, then he could only lead troops to cross the Yellow River and take refuge in Shanxi.

This completely frightened Zhang Fengyi.

"What do you think this person wants?"

In a house that was temporarily vacated in Dai County, Zhang Fengyi invited local officials and his own staff, took out the appendix of the notebook that Li Jing showed asking for supplementary money and food, and rushed to the next person to ask.

"Eh, what is Lord Wei's opinion?"

A commander of the Yamen of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division who followed Zhang Fengyi to take office was also confused, it is said that this Li Jing can pull out 100,000 soldiers and horses to quell the chaos for the imperial court, this silver and food, there should be no shortage for a while, right, why is it only a month's work, crying and shouting for reinforcements?

So he turned his head and asked Wei Bo'an, the governor of Daizhou.

At this moment, Wei Bo'an didn't have much to say, he was all thanks to Li Jing, so he was transferred from a political envoy to the Tongzhi of Daizhou, Shanxi, and before Li Jing sent troops, he was recommended as the governor of Daizhou, and Zheng Renbao, the assistant general of the East Road of the Imperial Court, was one of the generals and one martial arts, and he sat in Daizhou, and he was also the first half of Li Jing's person.

But now that he saw this transcript, he couldn't speak, so he could only think about the words used by the good students,

"Mr. Li's move is tantamount to exposing his own reality, so many scripts, such eager words, must have been sitting on empty feet."

"Reconciliation?" Zhang Fengyi suddenly couldn't sit still, if Li Jing collapsed, he would wipe his neck.

The four or five hundred thousand thieves in Shaanxi, if it weren't for Li Jing blocking Xi'an and Yan'an, I am afraid that they would have gone out of the province to wreak havoc, and when the time came, even the trilateral governor who had lost the entire territory of Shaanxi would have been punished by the nine clans, not Ling Chi.

"My lord, please see, it is noted here that on December 27, the army prepared to store 30,000 stones of grain and hoard them in Huade County, ready to supply the front-line army for operations, and then got 500 head of livestock and transported 5,000 stones of miscellaneous grain here, ready to reward the three armies on Chinese New Year's Eve, but look at this newspaper again,"

Wei Bo'an also took a copy of the battle report that Li Jing sent to the guards of Ningwu Pass in Shanxi Province on 28 December, and of course, this was a fact that Li Jing deliberately fabricated.

Presented this battle report to Zhang Fengyi to take a look, and it suddenly became clear, only to see the top say:

"Shaanxi Suppression Aid Deputy Chief Soldier Officer, Yansui Chief Soldier Li Jing, Shanxi Ningwu Deputy Chief Military Officer Li Denggao, today nephew in Huachi and thieves at war, thieves and I widowed, although the nephew led the army to the death, killed a lot of thieves, but suffered from the lone army deep, heard that the thief had outflanked the back road, so in the beheading of 7,000 thieves, led the troops to retreat to Heshui,

Today is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the thief army is also celebrating the festival, taking this good opportunity, the nephew led 3,000 iron horsemen to the north to seize the thief's military rations, cherishing the thieves' prudence, strict defense, although the nephew led the army to occupy the grain depot, but the thieves chased after me, and could not avoid it, so the thieves' army rations were burned, but the nephew led 30,000 troops, refused to guard the Qingyang thieves, lacked soldiers and food, and also looked at the past situation, issued 20,000 stone of military rations to replenish the army. ”

Among them, it is a detailed record of the details of Li Jing's battle with the thief, Zhang Fengyi is so old-fashioned, you can see it at a glance, this is clearly Li Jing fought with the thief army in Huachi, and the result was defeated, and even the grain warehouse stored in Huade County did not come to rush to transport, so it was all lost to the thief.

But fortunately, Li Jing was alert, and personally led people to burn all this batch of grain and grass to avoid falling into the hands of the thief army, but now his army is about to run out of food, so he asked Li Denggao, who took over him as the deputy chief soldier of Ningwuguan, to help mobilize a batch of grain and grass to help.

And look at the following, it is a reply letter from Li Denggao to Li Jing, in short, one sentence over and over again, Ningwuguan now only has 3,000 stone of surplus grain, and all states and governments can't take out so much grain, and a hint was added at the end of the letter, that is, since the imperial court does not give money and grain, simply take advantage of the fact that there is still military power in hand, and quickly cross the Yellow River east first, and withdraw first.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jing's reply arrived, saying that local bandits were infested, colluding with the big clans in Yanan and other places to attack the county seat, and he led the troops to arrive and killed the thieves.

Seeing this, Zhang Fengyi was taken aback, where is this big clan paying money and food to reward the three armies, this is obviously the shortage of food and grass in Li Jing's army, and he was forced to go to the extreme, directly fabricated the crime of gangsters in the local area, and began to intercept and kill the big clan.

Sure enough, a letter was sent to Ningwu later, and he clearly told Li Denggao that the grain he had looted was far from enough, and that with the 35,000 people actually registered, plus the horses, which should be about 6 catties of grain per day, all of them needed 800 stone of grain and grass per day, and a mere 7,000 stone of grain, they would not be able to last for a few days at all.

He also complained that the imperial court was not sympathetic and did not pay his army food and salary for three consecutive months, and now the army is full of complaints, and many of them say that they want to return to Shanxi, and he cannot suppress it, and if the imperial court does not give him 30,000 stone of grain and 50,000 taels of silver for a month, his army will be in danger of mutiny.

In his letter, Li Denggao advised him not to be impulsive and to think of a way to do it himself.

These letters have completely exposed Li Jing's hypocrisy, that is, he only has 35,000 soldiers and horses at present, according to the normal establishment of the Ming army, including the auxiliary army and the people, there are about 12,000 soldiers, 30,000 stone grain and 50,000 taels of silver are the lion's big mouth, so naturally there is no need to pay attention to it.

But how much must be given, otherwise Li Jing really gave up the defense of the two prefectures and directly led the troops back to Shanxi, then the imperial court would be in big trouble, and Zhang Fengyi, as the governor of the three sides, would not really let Li Jing return like this.

"In the land of Daizhou, can you ever give some money and food?" Zhang Fengyi was also embarrassed, when he left Beijing, the emperor gave him 20,000 taels of silver, these are still after arriving at the place, ready to recruit soldiers and horses, no more, he will be gone.

So he hit the idea on the local government, but Wei Bo'an is not stupid, even if Daizhou is rich, he will not produce a son, not to mention that the poor in Daizhou's treasury can starve to death now, so he shook his head decisively, "Daizhou has no money." ”

What are you kidding, Shaanxi's affairs, what do you care about Shanxi, if Li Jing or Li Denggao issue a document and ask Daizhou to make up a few thousand taels of silver, you are the governor of Shaanxi Province, what kind of silver do you want from Shanxi's political envoy Si Daizhou?

"Oh," Zhang Fengyi was bored with himself, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "When the governor left Beijing, the Holy Emperor allocated five thousand taels of silver to the inner treasury, and now he will send someone to Shaanxi first." ”

Wei Bo'an also shook his head, "The governor's words are wrong, the land of Shaanxi is in turmoil, even if I am in Daizhou, I have heard of it, even if there is silver in rice, I can't buy it in Shaanxi." ”

"Then buy grain in Shanxi and send it to Shaanxi." Zhang Fengyi said unhappily, but soon, he was sent an urgent military order by his own soldiers, and when he opened it, he was stunned.

I saw a clear warning from above, telling him to enter Shaanxi as soon as possible and not to stay in Shanxi.

It turned out that Li Jing changed the law and complained to the top, saying that he was fighting alone in Shaanxi, and now Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of the reinforcement army, and Yang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, were all killed in battle, but Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Guyuan, took his elite soldiers and hid in Yansui and refused to move.

Please ask Zhang Fengyi, the governor of the three sides, to enter the abbot of Shaanxi as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to support the overall situation.

After the cabinet discussed, under the instruction of the emperor, such a urging document was issued through the Ministry of War, but Zhang Fengyi was reluctant to go to Shaanxi from the bottom of his heart, let alone after knowing the chaos in Shaanxi, he was even more reluctant to go.

So he walked to the back hall and wrote a letter of grievances, while promoting Li Jing as the new chief military officer of Shaanxi, he complained to the imperial court, anyway, he probably didn't give money and food, so Shaanxi would change someone to command, anyway, he was completely out of line.

When the pen and ink faded, he called his cronies and reported directly to the capital. (To be continued.) )
