After reading it, Hao Jie didn't wait for Ziren to ask, and said with a frown: "Ziren, Mongolia has been assembled outside the border wall of Shenyang Zhongwei, according to the deputy commander-in-chief Sun Shoulian, the number of subordinates is 30,000, and now the special person has come to ask for help, my Dongning Dao soldiers are outnumbered, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Hearing Hao Jie say this, Ziren couldn't help but think that according to the history of the Ming Dynasty, in September of the seventeenth year of Wanli, Bai Hongda and Changang 30,000 cavalry re-invaded Pingyu Fort, prepared for Li Younian, and killed Feng Wensheng, and Li Chengliang Xuanfeng was killed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the enemy plundered Shenyang Puhe and Yulin, and went on the eighth day.

It's only mid-April now, and it seems that the trajectory of history has deviated slightly because of his own crossing. Although the enemy is strong and strong, Ziren still has the fighting spirit, and he said with a lofty spirit: "But what is the fear of a group of Tartar slaves, I, Ding Shouming, am willing to lead the troops to help!" ”

Ziren's strength Hao Jie probably knew it in his heart, and asked with a puzzled face: "Shouming, the generals of the Li family cower and do not fight, there are many Tartar slaves, how many soldiers and horses do you have?" Is there a certainty of victory in this battle? ”

Hearing this, Ziren was silent for a long time, and said word by word: "Don't hide it from your lordship, the last general has only a thousand soldiers." At this time, Ziren paused, and deliberately raised his voice a little: "But don't worry, my lord, the Tatar soldiers are pressing the border, and the people of Liaodong are in danger. When I Ding Shouming led the troops, I never asked how many enemy slaves came, as long as the wolf smoke was ignited, it was the day when our warriors were loyal to the country. ”

Hao Jie has been an official for many years, and he is used to seeing civil officials love money and military generals cherish their lives, listening to Ziren's words, he couldn't help but feel a rush of blood from the top of his head, and said: "It's a good sentence that as a man, you should serve the country!" This battle is dangerous, why do you ask for it. ”

Seeing Hao Jie boasting about going to the sea, Ziren was naturally not polite to him, and replied: "The enemy in this battle is outnumbered and I have to rely on firearms to control the enemy, and I hope that Hao Xun will allocate more gunpowder, firearms, and blades and armor." In addition, the Son of Heaven did not send hungry soldiers, and he also hoped that the patrol press could allocate some food and salary to strengthen the morale of the army. ”

"Good! It's up to me. Ziren came to the aid alone, this request was not too much, and Hao Jie agreed to it. In addition to the firearms in the god hangar left for the defense of the city, all the rest were allocated to Ziren, a total of more than 5,000 rockets of various types, 50 tigers, 50 abductors (10 rounds per hand), five tiger squat cannons, and 1,000 catties of gunpowder and lead bullets.

As for the blades and armor, because Yang Shaoxun took a lot of them when he came to help, he could only barely transfer out 50 pairs of iron armor, 100 pieces of cotton armor and 100 pieces of leather armor, as well as a number of bows, knives, guns, shields, etc. In terms of food and salary, all the 4,000 taels of silver collected from private mines were allocated to Ziren to boost morale. In addition, Hao Jie promised to ask for help from the troops in Kaiyuan and Jinfu Haigai (Prefecture) as soon as possible, and would not let Ziren fight alone.

After Ziren was satisfied, he asked the thieves who had been pressed back today to come over as coolies, and then agreed with Hao Jie to allow himself to go back to rectify the soldiers and horses today and tomorrow, and send troops to Shenyang with Jin Guan early the morning after tomorrow. After bidding farewell to Hao Jie, Ziren sent someone to rent thirty carts to send the supplies back to the fort, and then took a few horsemen to visit Li Rumei's mansion.

Li Dana heard that Ziren was coming to visit the patient, and under the pretext that the doctor was helping his young master to diagnose and treat him, he asked Ziren to wait a while, and only after a cup of tea did he lead Ziren into the room. I saw that the current Li Rumei did not have the strength to live during the day, lying on the bed with an ugly face like white ash, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Seeing that Li Rumei had undergone such a big change, Ziren was not surprised at all, and asked nonchalantly: "Brother Rumei, I was so good before, why did I become like this in a blink of an eye?" The doctor can see what the disease is. ”

Seeing Ziren's question, Li Wugongzi said angrily: "Ziren~, my illness seems to be not light~, the doctors are helpless, or you can help me take the pulse and see if there is any help." With that, he slowly raised his hand.

"Which of us is with whom, if you are Brother Mei, don't pretend." Ziren didn't want to waste his effort, and said bluntly, seeing that Li Rumei was stunned, he continued: "Did you use ice cubes on your face, I didn't expect that there is an ice cellar in your house, and when the weather is hot, lend me a few pieces and get this iced fruit to eat." In addition, you still have walnuts under your armpits, so what can you build out of this vein, take it out quickly, it's weirdly uncomfortable. ”

"How do you see that?" Li Rumei muttered in a low voice, then rolled over from the bed, took out a pair of 'tiger heads' (a kind of walnut play) from under her armpit, and said helplessly while playing: "Ziren is not that I am afraid of war and cowardice, the Mongolian Tartars are menacing this time, my father has sent someone to tell me not to fight, and my father's order is difficult to disobey This move is also out of helplessness." ”

Ziren had already guessed that it was Li Chengliang who was making trouble behind his back, and said with a sinking face: "Brother Rumei, I have already promised Hao Xun to lead the troops to help." After I leave, Changning Fort has few soldiers, and if there are Tartars coming to attack and disturb, I hope you can help transfer troops to help defend it. Thinking that Li Rumei would not refuse herself, she got up and left as she spoke, and as soon as she walked to the door of the room, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "This battle is dangerous, Brother Rumei must take care of the other sister, don't let her run around by her temperament." ”

Seeing that Ziren was seriously injured and led the troops to help, Li Rumei couldn't help but feel that her face was irrelevant, and she whispered under her lack of confidence: "That's natural." Seeing his timid look, Ziren was angry, and after thanking him, he got up and went back to the fort to prepare for the battle.

When he returned to Changning Fort, it was almost late at night, and Ziren had no choice but to work hard and began to reorganize the army overnight. In the past few days, the people in the fort have completed the repair of the side wall, and the earthen wall of Jing'an Fort has also been erected and bricks are being wrapped. After the army set out on the expedition, the number of troops was insufficient, and Ziren decided to shrink all the men and horses back to the two forts of Changning and Jing'an. Only a small number of men with horses were left on the piers as warnings, and the area quickly withdrew to the fort after discovering the enemy situation and setting off wolf smoke.

In terms of the men and horses who went into battle, all the guns and gunners drawn from Li Qingqing's subordinates were assigned to the Firearms Division, and all the captivating guns, tiger squat guns, and medium-sized Furlong machines were brought with them. Among the infantry of the three divisions, Wang Shouguan's division was obtained from the expansion of his old department when he was the general of the hundred, and after a few days of drills, he and Zhou Daqi were barely able to fight, so he and Zhou Daqi fought with the men and horses. In addition, the number of cavalry divisions and military craftsmen who went out with the army and soldiers was about 1,000.

Ding Binas's men and horses were not able to stay behind, plus the remaining 500 men in the fort, relying on the fortified city and the artillery on it, it should not be difficult to defend the city. If there is really a large number of Tartars attacking, Li Rumei can help respond. After all the generals were the same, they divided up and rushed to prepare.

(I went to the company to work overtime in the afternoon, and the next chapter will be updated before twelve o'clock tomorrow.) ）
