The thirty-ninth episode of Dinghexi is ready for everything
But he said that I fought a big victory outside Handan City, and got rid of the main forces of the Fang and Zhao families, which were the most powerful in Hexi. Therefore, I ordered all the state capitals on Hexi Road to record and incorporate all militia groups within 10 days. By the end of the month at the latest, the militia groups that had been incorporated from all walks of life gathered in Handan to wait for the dispatch of the garrison. At the same time, a meeting will be held at the end of the month, and the principal officials above the sixth grade of the state capital will temporarily hand over their affairs to their deputies and go to Handan to participate in the restructuring of Hexi Road. This notice rushed out overnight, and it quickly descended from the post station to all the jurisdictions in Hexi, and within three days it shook the four realms.
The next day, I ascended to the hall early and briefly publicized the idea of a merchant group system on Hexi Road, and then some clans in Handan petitioned one after another and took the lead in joining, of course, the first to join in the roster were the Fang family and the Zhao family. However, I sent an order to all the state capitals, and the Fang family's grain and rice trading in various places should be included in the official family, and in the future, no merchant group on Hexi Road would be allowed to get involved in the grain and rice business. In addition, the battalion soldiers found more than 600,000 stone grain and rice in the warehouses of Fangfu, and more than 1.8 million stones in the warehouses around the ferry. I thought to myself, no wonder the Fang family dared to argue with the government, if there was a protracted war, the garrison army would have lost a long time ago. So I asked the grain officer to inspect the grain and rice, and sealed it all in the official warehouse, and transferred 500,000 stone to the garrison camp outside the city, and their grain and rice were not enough for ten days.
At this time, Ye Sanniang came to see me, and she arched her hand and said:
Little brother, the little sister's condition is not very good, it seems that she was too excited last night, and now her throat hurts very badly, she can neither eat nor drink medicine, I tried my best but it still can't. But she seems to calm down when she sees you, I think you better go and see her!
I thought for a moment and said:
I think it's better to call her dad to see her! Come on, ask Fang Jinwen to see his daughter!
Be!
So Ye Sanniang had no choice but to retreat. Then the herald came in and said:
My lord! General Xiahou has been waiting in the mansion for a long time!
Oh? Hurry up!
So Xiahou Jie walked in with a square scarf, and he arched his hand and said:
My lord! Boy, I'm sorry, I've already counted the people, and I'm here to tell you!
Come on!
In last night's battle, our garrison dispatched 112,400 men, killing 1,226 and wounding 8,763. Among them, 16 generals were killed and 47 were wounded, Captain Wang Du, the commander of the forward battalion, was slightly wounded, and the cavalry battalion suffered 829 casualties.
Oh, it looks like there are quite a few casualties! This official is really distressed!
Actually, it's okay! Last night, facing more than 100,000 people from the Fang family's army, as well as 60,000 people from the Zhao family, the garrison army can still fight calmly, what I saw on the hill is really real, that Tian Dadu Governor is really a good general, my lord is really discerning!
What about you? What are the casualties of your Xiahou army?
In fact, we should also be included in the garrison army, but I think it is better to calculate it separately, after all, our people are not regular. Last night we dispatched 22,400 people, 8,000 of whom belonged to the Xu family. At that time, it was Xu Ziming who was in charge of attacking the Zhao family's rear team, my best friend! He told me that he had brought with him 10,000 men, and when he returned, he counted them and found that 847 had been killed and 3,600 wounded, and that he had suffered heavy casualties. I threw 12,000 men and 400 gunners into the hill position. Last night's count, 560 people were killed in the battle, and 3,200 people were wounded, I didn't expect that Zao Wou-Ki to be so powerful, his people would not die in a battle!
You have shed so much blood for the stability of Hexi, the official will not forget it, and the court will not forget it!
Your Excellency is serious! By the way, I just met the legendary Yang Huaizhong, it turned out that he was a very honest man, I heard him say that his cavalry also lost more than 2,000 people, but fortunately, although we paid 20,000 casualties, we wiped out 160,000 troops, this is the biggest victory in Hexi in the past 50 years! No matter what, it's worth celebrating, this time my eldest brother is back, if I know that without him, we still have a big victory, and we won't die of jealousy? I want him to always teach me a lesson, saying that I am not sensible and have never seen a big scene, but this time I finally exhaled and raised my eyebrows!
I thought to myself, if Xiahou Lin knew, I let his younger brother take his arrows behind my back, command his men and horses, and play offensive and defensive games with the eldest prince of the Zhao family at the turning point of the battlefield he expected, and still dismantle my camp and unload my head?
So Xia Houjie gave up his hand and retreated, his very happy appearance made me very uneasy, and I thought, is this time doing something wrong? As a result, I immediately called the herald to pass Yang Huaizhong in. He arched his hand and said:
My lord! The brothers of the grass people have suffered a lot of casualties now, and I hope that the adults will allow us to be treated by the military doctors of the garrison!
I saw that he had a white cloth wrapped around his arm, so I pointed and said:
You're wounded? Why do you insist on fighting?
He straightened his chest and said:
The big husband is on the battlefield, what is this injury? Adults don't have to worry!
How's that going to work? Immediately call the military doctor to take a look, you tell your brothers, from now on, you will be reorganized into the Flying Tiger Battalion under the command of the garrison, under the command of Brother Yang, and you will be rewarded after the Hexi Road is stable! After a while, the official will send food and salaries and camp doctors over, and Brother Yang remembers to approve it!
So saying, I gave him the seal and the arrow, and he withdrew. I let out a long breath and thought to myself, it's finally over for now. So I moved my muscles around for a while, and then rode to Fang Mansion to see Fang Caidie's condition.
At this moment, Fang Jinwen was escorted by the battalion soldiers, looking in Fang Caidie's room, he always held his daughter's little hand, so the little girl's mood stabilized, Ye Sanniang took the opportunity to administer needles to control her meridians, and then used a small bamboo tube to introduce the medicine into her throat. Shaoqing, and asked the maid to use the same way, to send the rice soup in, of course, the rice soup was cooked by Shi Yong with white rice and chicken soup, which was very nutritious, and ginseng was added to it. When I went to look, Fang Caidie's condition stabilized, and when Fang Jinwen saw me coming, he fell to the ground and said:
Thank you for your kindness! The old man only understood today that the official morality of the adult was so heavy, and now he immediately asked for the old man's life, and the old man had no complaints!
I immediately picked him up and said:
The old man is serious! Although yesterday endured pain for a while, for Hexi, it was a benefit for a hundred years. If the eldest lord can give up his previous suspicions and continue to contribute to the people of Hexi, then the official will be very lucky, the people will be very happy, and the world will be very happy!
Fang Jinwen was surprised:
Adults don't want to punish sin? The old man is ashamed!
I arched my hand and said:
The rice and grain business was related to military affairs, and then affected the world, so it had to be included in the government. However, the rest of the Fang family's industries still need to be taken care of by the eldest master. Now I plan to collect all the militia forces in Hexi, so the remaining 80,000 people in your family outside the city have already accepted the reorganization of the garrison at this moment, and in the future, there will be no other armed forces in Hexi except for the official government!
Naturally, this is natural! The old man understands that one day Hexi will be subjugated to Wanghua! Adults are open-minded, regardless of past suspicions, the old man should be exhausted, and from now on, everything will be focused on the people and the world!
Very good! At the end of the month, the government will hold a business group meeting on Hexi Road, and I hope that the eldest lord will come forward to preside over it!
That's okay! Since the adults don't give up, the old man will definitely contribute!
So he was heartbroken and taken out by the battalion. I looked down at Fang Caidie, then touched her little hand and said:
Well, I didn't break my promise! Don't worry, your poison hasn't been completely lifted yet, rest assured that you can recover from your illness! Your uncle has also been rescued now, Hexi is very good, and now it is up to you, hurry up and get better!
She immediately opened her big eyes, looked at me and bit her lip, blinked, and then closed her eyes with a slight smile. I saw that she was in a good mood, so I walked out, Shi Yong came in with a medicine bowl, nodded when he saw me, and then hurriedly walked in. So I turned around and said:
By the way, Shi Yong, at the end of the month, a comprehensive meeting of civil and military officials on Hexi Road will be held in the government office, you remember to attend!
He turned back and said:
Just kidding, I'm a cloth dress, how can I participate?
I pointed to him and said:
Have you forgotten what you said last night? You said that you want to be a famous general in the world, and you want the second lady to be proud of you for the rest of your life!
Don't say it! Be quiet! She'll hear it!
Why, don't you dare to say it in front of her?
Who said they wouldn't dare? It's just that she couldn't speak before, so his father agreed to promise her to me, and the premise is that she must be an official. But now that her throat is starting to get better, I don't think she'll take a fancy to me, and if it's just because she's grateful, wouldn't I have taken advantage of the fire? So don't talk about it in front of her until I've done something about it! When I'm ready, I'll hire her and ask her to follow me willingly!
Hehehe!
Shi Yong was taken aback at the moment, it turned out that Fang Caidie behind her was not asleep, she actually covered her mouth and laughed at the moment! Shi Yong looked at her with a red face and said:
Butterfly, are you laughing at me?
How so?
She suddenly said in a hoarse voice, although it was still difficult to make a sound, but it was far less painful than last night. Shi Yong patted his head and said:
I'm damned! I shouldn't have asked you questions! I'm sorry, what do you want to say, don't make a sound, I understand!
Fang Caidie suddenly put her little hand on her chest, and her face became rosy, so she said softly:
Shi Gongzi, although I am young, I don't know anything. Don't think of others as powerful, people don't care about your identity and status, it's just that you don't always talk about others in the future, the people in Fangfu think that they are already your people!
In a word, Shi Yonghong reached his heels. I covered my mouth and laughed, and said in my heart, you kid goes to the boudoir every day to harass other young ladies, how come there is no gossip? Such a scoundrel method is a shame that he still looks decent and dignified.
As a result, Shi Yong stomped his feet and said:
If I, Shi Yong, have any wrong thoughts about Miss, I will let him die under ten thousand arrows one day! I just admire Miss, and I have absolutely no intention of bullying and insulting Miss!
Fang Caidie smiled again and said:
What's the use of saying that? Childe, you are by my side for a day, and the little woman is worried for a day. Now that Childe owes Sister Night 400 taels of silver for the sake of Caidie, hasn't Childe ever cared?
Shi Yong was stunned and said:
Caidie, why did you suddenly say this?
As a result, the little girl sat up at once, pointed at Shi Yong with her little finger and said:
How can a big husband revolve around a woman every day? If you don't ask for fame, you go into business and become a businessman. If you can't pay off your sister's debts overnight, how can people live with you with confidence? What fool in the world would want to live with a good-for-nothing man?
Who is good for nothing
Look in the mirror! Take out four hundred taels! If you can't take it out, don't come to see me! Get out!
As she spoke, she folded her arms and pouted not to look at him. I looked at it and said, "That's amazing!" That Shi Yong ate a meal and was at a loss, so I pulled him out of the door, and then said to Fang Caidie:
Feel relieved! This kid will follow me in the future, and I promise that he will not be useless!
Fang Caidie lay down again, so I closed the door. Shi Yong stomped his feet angrily and said:
What! Why are you suddenly angry? They didn't offend her!
I patted him on the back of the head and said:
You're so stupid! If she doesn't mean anything to you, why should she lose her temper about the money you owe? Listen to the tone, people want to live with you steadily, if you kid doesn't fight anymore, she may lose her temper even more in the future!
Is it? You mean, she's willing to marry me?
Call you stupid, you really pretend to be real! When you shouted every day that you wanted to marry her, didn't she never refuse? Now the question is not whether people marry you or not, but how do you make your family happy after marrying you? She thinks a lot more than you do! I think if you don't repay Sanniang's debt, she won't forgive you, and she won't accept your dowry! This is the first test for you! If you kid wants to marry a beautiful woman, just work harder!
With that, I walked away with my hands behind my back, but my heart was sour. I thought to myself, Shi Yong is the same age as me, but he is actually one year younger than me, not only does he have a beautiful woman's affection, but he is even willing to live with him for the rest of his life. I am now fifteen years old, only when Bohai was goodbye, Miss Liu's square scarf can be delusional, but half of it is in Dong Feixue's hands, and the other half is in Fang Caidie's place. Two beauties, one is already a wife, the other is also concerned about others, she is alone, the only woman who is better to herself than even for a moment, is only the eldest grandson Feiying who has been separated from Youzhou for a few months and has not heard from him so far. So I took out the dagger in my hand, unsheathed it, and kept touching the words on it. Ye Sanniang just came to see Fang Caidie's situation, and when she saw that I was distracted, she also took a dagger, so she stretched out her hand and quickly snatched it in her hand, and my hand was not injured. So I was surprised and said:
Sanniang! Don't mess around, give it back to me!
Oh?
The plum blossom at the center of her brow seemed to be blooming, and her big eyes were shining and shining, and she looked at me with a strange look, and she pursed her lips as she looked, as if she was not smiling. I immediately clutched my chest and said:
Sanniang! Brother Dong is very good to me, I won't do anything to be sorry for him!
Oops, where did you think of it? I said, "You are a girl, you are a girl, right?"
She blinked. I nodded slightly:
It's a pity that I didn't have time to send her and see her for the last time. I just left the dagger on the table, and it seems that our friendship is nothing more than that! But thanks to this dagger, it saved my life at a critical moment!
Hehehe! Friendship? Are you kidding!
Ye Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled. I was puzzled:
What are you laughing at? We are really friends who met in Pingshui, she is the county lord of Pingbei Wang, called Changsun Feiying!
Oh! Congratulations! I won't be able to see it for long, and you should be the son-in-law of King Pingbei!
Yes? Are you kidding!
Who's kidding? The words on this dagger can't be faked, right?
What's wrong with these words?
Ahh You've done something good, and you don't know it? This is the secret of our daughter's house!
As she spoke, she blinked her eyes again and said mysteriously:
As for our daughter's house, there is only one possibility to leave the date and hour on the personal belongings! That's hehe! After meeting your man, write down the date and give it to the other person. In this way, if you have a child in the future, you will know about it! You're a pretty capable little kid! What kind of rhetoric did you use, and you actually coaxed the daughter of King Pingbei, it will be difficult for you kid to think about it in the future! That's right, this news is too violent, I have to write to tell my husband immediately, and then tell my sister!
With that, she ignored my objections and turned around and ran. Actually, I didn't stop her, because at this time my brain was blank, and I was stupid for a long time, and my heart said it was impossible! I've only known the county lord for a few days, most of the time she hates me, I keep making trouble with her, she doesn't hate me, how could I think at this time, after drinking too much that night, she did send me back, and then I felt that she was always by my side, and the next day I found that it was gone, did I immediately get goosebumps that night, and sweated. Not only is she five years older than me, but she is also a strange woman with a perverse personality, could it be that she did not hesitate to ** me in order to escape from marriage? I thought to myself, it's better to avoid meeting her as much as possible in the future, in case I meet again, it will definitely be a lot of trouble! So I took the dagger and hurried back to the office.
In the afternoon, I went to the west of the city, inspected the garrison army, and inspected the reorganization of the surrendered troops. Zhao Jiajun and Fang Jiajun are okay, they are both from Hexi, and the master has already returned to obedience, so they have no complaints, on the contrary, they are quite happy. So I asked Tian Qi and Sun Li if they contacted Zhao Minzhen and Zao Wou-ki, and they told me that Zhao Minzhen and Zao Wou-Ki went to their hometown in Cizhou with nearly 20,000 horses. So I called for pen and paper, wrote a letter, and sent a herald to bring it to Zhao Minzhen to personally enlighten. So I went out of the city to see a few people, and then I went back to the palace in the evening to rest, and this was the case for several days.
Two days later, Xiahou Lin came back to his life. He heard on the road that Hexi Road and the Zhao family fought a decisive battle, and won a big victory, and now Hexi Road has completely surrendered to Wanghua, and all the armed forces have surrendered. So he reluctantly came to the back hall of the palace, and when he saw me come out, he complained with his hands:
Adults are too unkind! Such a big event, I was not even notified, my Xiahou family, actually missed the battle that decided the fate of Hexi, I am really unwilling!
I shook my hand and said:
Brother Xiahou is serious! Now that this is the case, please forgive my eldest brother! This official is really out of helplessness, your old Taishan used grain and rice to suppress my garrison army, and if you don't make a move, I'm afraid it will be doomed!
But if you are caught off guard, it is also beautiful! It's just that before I left, I knew that the Zhao family would probably send troops to attack us, but at the time of the decisive battle, how did the adults break their wild goose wing array?
In fact, this was indeed attacked at that time, but fortunately, Yang Huaizhong, who came from Jinzhou, brought 17,000 horsemen and solved the urgent need, so the Fang family was defeated by the enemy first, and the Zhao family could not hold on!
Oh! I'll just say it's too risky! Your Excellency, you're so child's play! If there are no unexpected reinforcements, you will be defeated!
By the way, didn't you point out a decisive spot earlier? I brought people with me at that time, and I gave the Zhao family a fatal blow in that place!
Stop talking nonsense! If you want to break the Goose Wing Array, the place where you rush will definitely be blocked by elite soldiers, if you lead the troops, you will not be able to win no matter what! There must be somewhere for the reinforcements!
Oh, yes! You're talking about it! I've been confused for the past few days, and you'll understand when I go back to the conference at the end of the month! By the way, how are you doing?
He was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said:
My lord, those internal guards are all lost, they are really well-trained, and there is no way to track them down. In addition, I followed three carriages to Yedian, but I failed and was discovered, and it was actually three eunuchs who drove the car! They used a narrow-edged sword, and I defeated them and committed suicide. I thought this information would be useful to the adults, so I brought the corpse and the carriage with me. But the strange thing is that there is nothing in their car, and I rummaged through the wild store and there are no other clues!
Oh! Then you know that it has been found in Fang Wen, and it is in Fang Mansion. The dead body found in Hungry Ghost Ridge that day was probably the Nanya Guard. The narrow-edged sword is the standard weapon of the Nanya Janissaries, which can be testified in the text. Therefore, it can be considered that Master Fang Jinwen asked the Nanya guards to rescue Fang Wenzhong in the hands of the rebels in the Hungry Ghost Ridge, and then those Nanya guards stayed in the Hungry Ghost Ridge for other things, and finally disappeared, leaving the waist card in the ashes. Then the inner guards came to Hungry Ghost Ridge to verify something. What we can't conclude is whether the corpses in Hungry Ghost Ridge are the righteous army or the Nanya Guards, and what is the relationship between the Inner Guards and the Nanya Guards, and what is the reason why Feng Ruyi actually left the palace without permission and brought so many guards out. These are mysteries that we don't know right now, and we don't have time to deal with them. At present, the most urgent thing is to immediately integrate the people, horses, money and food in Hexi, on the one hand, to prepare to send troops out of the country to quell the rebellion, and on the other hand, to prepare to enter the king of Jingqin!
King Qin? Are you saying that someone is making trouble in Beijing?
Yes, the reason why I stayed in Hexi was to prepare for King Qin. Although everything is not ready now, it is only half a step away. You go back and prepare immediately, this time in Beijing, you are going to sing the leading role!
Xiahou Lin's heart was shocked, and he immediately arched his hand and said:
The last will obey!
So he strode out, and the strap around his waist was loose, not noticing. I thought to myself, such a person, but when he heard this, he was also nervous, could it be that this trip would give rise to other incidents?
So I ordered all the garrison troops scattered and without tasks outside to withdraw to Handan and assemble, and at the same time once again urged the Liyang Left-behind Division to send troops to fight against the rebellion.
Two days later, the herald came back and brought a reply from Zhao Minzhen. It turned out that her eldest brother Zao Wou-Ki was very happy when he knew that his father had surrendered, so the brother and sister decided to temporarily guard Cizhou and accepted the reorganization of the local government. However, she pointed out in the letter that the Anyang rebels had contacted them anonymously, and it seemed that there were really signs of rebellion, and because the battle of Handan was fought suddenly, the rebels seemed to be unprepared, so there would be no change in the short term, and she and her eldest brother were discussing countermeasures. So I immediately issued an order to send the newly reorganized part of the original Zhao Family Army, a whole battalion of 20,000 troops, to Cizhou for reinforcements, and at the same time informed the nearby state capitals to make preparations as soon as possible. At this time, it came from Hedong that the Cangzhou rebels finally advanced north and south, and surrounded Liang Jin and Dou Ying's troops in Yancheng, and the army of Changsun Menglong and Dou Yunpeng did not attack well on the periphery. So I immediately sent an order to go out in advance, with the newly reorganized Jinzhou militia regiment, a whole battalion of 20,000 troops under Yang Huaizhong's department as the front, and five battalions of 100,000 troops under the command of Sun Li, the deputy governor of the Hexi Road Garrison Prefecture, as the backup, from Jizhou into Hedong, to help the king of Pingbei, Sun Menglong, and the general Liang Jin break the enemy and put down the rebellion. The text of the expedition immediately spread throughout Hebei, and Hexi Road sent 120,000 troops at one time under the condition of civil strife, shaking all the rebels north of the Yangtze River.
When the news reached Cangzhou, the eldest grandson Menglong sat in the big tent, looked at the words Nie Chenghai at the end of the line, and asked Dou Yunpeng at the beginning:
Who is Nie Chenghai? Why is there a jade medal here?
Dou Yunpeng arched his hand and said:
The prince doesn't know! Lord Nie is a three-rank empty official appointed by the saint, and has the right to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky. He is in Hexi at the moment, probably to do things for the saint. However, in less than two months, he cleared the obstacles and brought out an army of 120,000 people, and the saint really did not see the wrong person!
The eldest grandson Menglong smiled slightly:
I can't imagine that the three families in Hexi will be defeated by a kid? Hum! Let the king believe him once and see what kind of soldiers he sent!
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said:
Come on! Inform Gao Qi to quickly transport the grain and rice, and the people from Hexi behind are coming, and they can't be let have an empty stomach!
Be!
The eldest grandson Menglong continued to study countermeasures with his subordinates, Dou Yunpeng shook his head and looked outside and thought, Lord Nie, I know that you will not give up our father and son easily! Thank you!
However, after sending Sun Li's army away, I put my mind at ease, while privately appointing Xu Ziming and Xiahou Jie as grain officers, preparing to deliver grain and rice to the army in Hedong from land and water in half a month, and arranging manpower to prepare for the meeting at the end of the month, I was very busy.
So the news of the civil war on Hexi Road quickly spread to the capital, and it happened to be the day after Dong Zhentian arrived in the capital. At this moment, Ding Shangshu's son-in-law had already sent troops on the road, but Ding Shangshu heard that the minister of Qincha had forced the heroes of Hexi to rebel, and also fought a battle on the outskirts of Handan, and finally won, so he panicked at the moment, so he ordered his son-in-law Tang Yishan to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, and strive to quickly solve the Jingshi and Guanzhong before the troops were sent on Hexi Road.
Emperor Cheng was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news in Yedian, so he sent someone to inform the Guandi Temple fifty miles west of the city. There lived a big man, not someone else, but Du Zixuan, the general of the Shangzhu State who made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, the official worship of the Guanxi town envoy, the governor of Huazhou, and the general of the Shangzhu State who enjoyed a good fortune. This person was friends with Taizu for eight years, and after the founding of the country, he ranked ninth in terms of military exploits, and failed to tear the soil and seal the king, but Taizu rewarded him. Now that Emperor Cheng is trapped in the suburbs of the capital, he immediately found Shangzhu to help.
That Du Zixuan's golden helmet and golden armor were full of style, he looked at the letterhead, and then looked at the text of Hexi Road, and said with a smile:
No wonder they all say that everything in the world is bad in the hands of a few children! The world's major events, how can it be child's play?
As he spoke, he stood up, waved his horsewhip, and then frowned:
Nie Chenghai, the old man wants to see what kind of character you are!
As soon as he said hello, he stepped on the war horse, and behind him there were people and horses in a formation. With a slight wave of his hand, he ran in front of his horse, and behind him waved his flag, countless soldiers rushed to run behind, and looked through the woods, no less than tens of thousands.
(End of this review)
