Chapter 226: The State City Crisis
Chen Lilan glanced at Feng Jian with a red face, and said with the style of an eldest woman: "I know that I am crazy about the three concubines all day long, and I am not afraid of lowering my identity." He laughed out loud.
Su Su thought for a while and understood the meaning of Feng Jian's words, and his bright eyes turned to Feng Jian and smiled seductively, which contained thousands of tenderness and sweetness.
Only Xiao Jian frowned and thought for a long time without understanding the meaning of Feng Jian's words, although he felt that Feng Jian was laughing, he couldn't help but ask: "Why do we drink more milk, so that our son and daughter don't lack food?" ”
Chen Lilan couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, let's eat first, and I'll explain to you later." ”
Feng Jian looked at Chen Lilan with a shy face, Su Su looked tender, but Xiao Hairpin looked ignorant, only to feel that the joy of the boudoir was nothing more than this, and couldn't help laughing and turned around and walked out of the dining room.
……
On June 8 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the weather was already very hot, this year Pingdu and the surrounding areas were still dry and rainless, and the crops in a large area of the fields became sparse and sparse because of the lack of rainwater irrigation.
In the meeting hall of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp Garrison Mansion, Jiao Keli was reporting to Feng Jian and the generals of the Zhenshan Battalion present that the information that was not received back at night in various places.
Two months ago, the Dengzhou rebels divided into two routes, began to loot the county capitals around Dengzhou, because the peace has been for a long time, the county governments are in disarray, in the face of the wolf-like Dengzhou rebels can not resist at all, Dengzhou around the rich county capitals such as Huang County, Zhaoyuan, Qixia, Laiyang and other counties have fallen.
Kong Youde led the elite of the rebellious army to burn and kill along the way, which was simply invincible, and the soldiers pointed directly at Laizhou, another important city in Denglai Town.
In Kong Youde's opinion, Laizhou City will also collapse at the touch of a button like other states and counties. Even if the prefect of Laizhou organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist, it would be difficult to withstand the fierce attack of his own 20,000 elite troops. The destruction of the city is only in the moment.
That knew that Laizhou City was not as easy to conquer as he imagined, before the arrival of the chaotic army. Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, opened the treasury and distributed the weapons and blades to the people in the city, so that the people in the city took turns to come to the city to defend.
The city of Laizhou was built tall and sturdy, all kinds of defense facilities were complete, and the prefect Zhu Wannian personally risked being hit by arrows and artillery, and commanded the defense of Kong Youde's chaotic troops to attack the city at the head of the city, causing Kong Youde to besiege the city and attack Laizhou for two months without success.
Laizhou City is crucial to whether Kong Youde's rebels have a firm foothold in Denglai Town. As a result, Kong Youde's rebels besieged Laizhou City and vowed to take Laizhou City.
The other rebel army led by Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan and his son ransacked the prefectures and counties all the way, without much resistance, and the chaotic troops were everywhere, the captured prefectures and counties were looted, the cities were destroyed into ruins, and a large number of food materials, gold and silver, and women were sent to Dengzhou City.
Li Jiucheng's father and son were going to continue to attack in the direction of Jimo, but they suddenly received an order from Kong Youde to lead his soldiers and horses to participate in the siege of Laizhou City.
In desperation. Li Jiucheng's father and son had no choice but to give up burning, killing and looting, and led their troops to Laizhou to join Kong Youde's soldiers and horses all the way, and jointly plotted against Laizhou.
Because Li Jiucheng's father and son continued to contain bandits and bandits along the way, when they converged with Kong Youde's army. The army under the father and son has reached more than 30,000 people, but the combat power is uneven.
"The above is the situation of Kong Youde's rebellion raging in the surrounding county capitals!" Jiao Keli said to the main generals of the Zhenshan Battalion.
He continued: "My Zhenshan battalion lurking in Laizhou at night does not collect the military information that has just been transmitted, and now the number of rebel troops besieging Laizhou City has reached 50,000. Kong Youde and others tried all kinds of methods, but they still couldn't attack Clay Zhou City. Yesterday's lurking night is not known. Kong Youde's rebellious army once again divided into two routes, and continued to besiege Laizhou City all the way. The other road came directly in the direction of my Pingdu. ”
After speaking, he faced Feng Jian and said: "The basic situation is like this, please give instructions to the commander." ”
Feng Jian looked around at everyone: "The rebels came nearly two months earlier than I expected, the war has come, now is the time for my Zhenshan Battalion to give the other side a head-on blow, this time to fight against Kong Youde's chaotic army, it is also a good opportunity for my Zhenshan Battalion to take the opportunity to rise, do you have the confidence to stop the rebels from attacking, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”
"Yes!"
The familiar faces in the audience were full of desire to fight, and their answers were resolute and powerful.
Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Jiao Ke immediately informed Lord Chen of Haiphong Dao and the great man of Zhizhou Fang Zeng that the rebels were about to invade Pingdu. If you don't receive all information at night, you must report it to the official as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" Jiao Keli stood up and saluted Feng Jian.
"From now on, the entire Zhenshan battalion will immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and the 2,000 headquarters of Zhao Shougang's department and the teaching team of Fan Li's department will immediately enter Pingdu City and deploy according to the original plan."
"Yes!" Zhao Shougang and Fan Liyu stood up and replied after saluting.
"Kong Youde's chaotic army is attacking Pingdu, Xiaohuakou is likely to be directly attacked by the rebel army, and the 3,000th headquarters will bear the brunt! Xiaohuakou is the focus of our Zhenshan Battalion's defense, Zhou Wei, your task is very heavy, your 3,000th headquarters must ensure that Xiaohuakou is safe, can you do it? ”
Zhou Wei's face was serious, he stood up, the soles of his feet touched each other, and after saluting Feng Wei, he said loudly: "Xiaohuakou is solid in the hands of his subordinates, and no one should want to take it away." ”
Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Xu Yannian, and instructed: "Xu Yannian's 1,000th headquarters, as the general reserve force for this campaign, is stationed in the Zhenshan Battalion on standby, and the 1,000th Headquarters, as the most elite military force in the Zhenshan Battalion, is to strike a fatal blow at the chaotic army at a critical moment, and must be fully prepared." ”
Xu Yannian was not good at words, and the spurs on the soles of his feet touched Feng Jian and saluted, and he said, "Obey!" ”
Feng Jian turned his gaze to Shen Xiaoshan and continued to command: "Shen Xiaoshan's three hundred cavalry of the Hunting Enemy Division immediately launched an operation to investigate, track, and kill the military scout horses to obtain effective information about the other party. It is very important for the two armies to know each other in battle, and now is the time for the Enemy Hunting Division to give full play to its professional skills, and I hope that you will find out the basic situation of the chaotic army as soon as possible. ”
Shen Xiaoshan stood up and said loudly: "This is a good opportunity for me to hunt down the enemy, and my subordinates promise to reconnoiter the rebel army in a short period of time." ”
Feng Jian has always had high hopes for the Enemy Hunting Division, all the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division. From weapons and armor to food and salary, the Zhenshan camp is first-class, and the enemy hunting division is under the leadership of Shen Xiaoshan. It has also completed the task brilliantly again and again, and this is the first time that it has faced a large-scale chaotic army. I hope that Shen Xiaoshan will live up to his expectations and find out the reality of the other party in a timely and effective manner, so as to arrange corresponding strategies.
Pressing the thought in his heart, Feng Jian turned his gaze to Zheng Qing, the supervisor of the Zhenshan Battalion and the editor-in-chief of the Zhenshan Battalion Military Newspaper, and said: "Lao Zheng, before the war, I don't need to talk about the pre-war enlightenment of the soldiers and reduce their tension and fear, I believe that your supervisor will do a good job." This officer would like to remind you that you must learn to pass the military report of the earthquake camp. Timely and effective release of news favorable to our army on the battlefield will improve the morale of soldiers in a more timely and effective manner, and even have a huge impact on the entire battle situation. ”
Zheng Qing hurriedly stood up and promised loudly: "My subordinates must follow the instructions of the commander and use the military newspaper to carry out all kinds of positive propaganda throughout the army to boost the morale of our army." ”
The combat missions of the major units of the Zhenshan Battalion have long been established, and Feng Jian can be regarded as officially issued at this time.
Seeing that the generals of the Zhenshan battalion dispersed, Feng Jian instructed Huang Jinjiang to prepare horses, and he was going to the Zhizhou official office. Zhizhou Fang Zengwei was asked to quickly mobilize the people in the city to carry out the reorganization, and the temporary reorganization of the people was not for defending the city, but for logistics, so that these people could carry the materials for the soldiers defending the city for the Zhenshan battalion, and transport the injured soldiers to the medical team for treatment. In this way, the worries of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion can be greatly reduced, and they can concentrate on dealing with the rebellious soldiers outside the city.
During this period, a large number of homeless people poured into Pingdu City, and their homes were burned down by Kong Youde's rebels. The people who have been displaced to the nearby states and counties.
Seeing more and more homeless people pouring into Pingdu City, Zhizhou Fang Zengwei was also at a loss. The Pingdu government did not have the spare power to regulate the eating, drinking, and Lazar of these people, but it could not drive them away.
I had no choice but to find my old boss, Shandong Metropolitan Division, Liaohai, Haiphong, Dao, Chen, and find a way to solve it.
Chen Suowen was promoted to Liaodong Haiphong Province. The official office should be located in Dengzhou Shuicheng, and if he was unable to take up his post for the time being, he found a place in Pingdu City as a temporary Haiphong Provincial Office.
For the influx of refugees, Chen was anxious that the people of Pingdu City would not be spared, and it would not make much sense to temporarily resettle these homeless people in Pingdu City.
Chen Suowen now completely admires his son-in-law, and previously accurately judged that Kong Youde's rebels would capture Dengzhou City, so he laid out in advance, and finally grabbed food and transferred the Dengzhou Navy Division safely.
This time, he sent soldiers in Pingdu City in advance, and made all kinds of war preparations, just like a fisherman waiting for Kong Youde, a big fish, to take the bait.
Chen Suowen knew Feng Jian's wealth, and in order to control the Dengzhou Sailor in his hands, he suddenly took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets to enter Beijing to bribe the court officials.
So Chen Suowen and Fang Zengwei went to Feng Jian together, and Fang Zengwei briefly explained that the refugees who kept coming, and a bad disposal would bring great disasters to Pingdu City, and Pingdu City was also facing the invasion of Kong Youde's rebels, and asked Feng Jian to find a way to help solve it.
For these people who flocked to the city, Feng Jian had already found a good place for them, and their homes were burned down by Kong Youde's rebels, and they lost all their sources of livelihood.
For them, now they are satisfied with just having a bite to eat and a place to live, and now Feng Jian has secretly controlled Lushun, and there are a large number of barren fields around Lushun, which is just right for these homeless people to settle down.
Hearing Fang Zengwei's request for help, Feng Jian took the opportunity to tell his plan, Feng Jian's move can solve the problem of refugees that continues to pour in, and resolve the various problems caused by too many refugees in Pingdu City, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, Fang Zengwei immediately agreed when he heard it.
Feng Jian and Fang Zengwei immediately agreed that the Pingdu Government Office would come forward to organize the Fushan fleet to transport these refugees to Lushun for settlement.
When the refugees heard that they could get the land in Lushun and that most of the harvest belonged to them, most of the refugees chose to believe it and were willing to go to Lushun to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land.
As a result, the refugee problem that plagued Pingdu City was solved, and Fang Zengwei, the governor of the state, has also let go of his tense mind in the past few days. (To be continued......)
