Chapter 488: Go north to suppress bandits
***
Mo Zhaonan said worriedly: "My lord, all the armies have gone to the disaster relief, what if there is a rebellion in this place?" ”
Yang Yi couldn't eat anymore, threw the chopsticks on the table and said, "Wouldn't it be easier for you to rebel if you don't go to disaster relief?" If the disaster situation is stabilized, people's hearts will be stabilized, and how many people will be willing to rebel at that time? ”
Mo Zhaonan cautiously defended: "My lord, the last general is worried that Meng Qijia's gang of traitors will go south, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
There are 20,000 troops in Taiyuan Prefecture, and they have not actively carried out disaster relief, which is what they are afraid of. ,!
Chapter Qi, Zhang Qi! God can't open his eyes!
Without Zhang Kai sitting in the dispatch, the Taiyuan officials would have done such nothing.
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, didn't get angry, just said coldly: "Mo Zhaonan, you remember, what I give you now is a military order, not to discuss with you, I hope there will be no next time." ”
"The last will obey."
Yang Yi continued: "In addition, I passed on my military order, ordering the tenth general of Ninghua to encircle from the west, the seventeenth general of Mengxian to attack from the east, and the first general of Zhang Shiyong to cut off the northern line, and be sure to besiege the rebels of Meng Qijia in Xinzhou and Dingxiang Some belts. ”
"Whoa!" Mo Zhaonan immediately replied loudly.
It's just a gang of thieves, he really has the courage to come to Taiyuan Mansion, but I admire his courage. There were a total of 70,000 or 80,000 garrisons on the Hedong Road, and nearly 50,000 were stationed on the front line of Daizhou, Yanmen Pass, Ninghua, Langu, and Fuzhou, which were originally mainly used to guard against the Liao State.
Now there is no order from the superiors, except for the thousands of men and horses of Zhang Shiyong, the first general in Hedong. The rest didn't dare to send troops across the border to suppress thieves, and now that Yang Yi has taken over Zhang Qi's functions, how can they be idle again?
There is Meng Qing's sixth general in the south, Jiaozhong's ninth general will be used to defend the southern line, and Mo Zhaonan's second general will guard Taiyuan City, which is enough, and the north and south will attack together. I don't believe that Meng Qijia can turn over the sky.
Yang Yi's confidence comes from his years of conquest, and every war can be said to be tormented on the edge of life and death, which is the most tempering of people's minds. Even if he is illiterate with mud legs, after a few years of war, it is normal for him to grow into a general who can fight habitually;
Now Yang Yi doesn't dare to say that he looks down on the world. But at least one Monchijia wasn't enough to tie him down.
Yang Yi then said to Xiang Chaoran: "As soon as possible, count the number of people affected by the disaster, and report to the imperial court, now it is a cold winter, dripping water into ice, it is not enough to open a shed to give porridge, we must prepare shelter for the victims, distribute clothes, quilts, charcoal, medicines, etc., and at the same time raise post-disaster reconstruction materials as soon as possible to help the people rebuild their homes." ”
"Lord Yang, this ......"
Yang Yi didn't have the heart to rub shoulders with him. Immediately interrupted him and said: "Before, the imperial court hoarded a large number of military supplies in Taiyuan and Daizhou, including grain, grass, clothing, quilts, medicine tents, etc., and now we will open a military warehouse first for disaster relief." ”
"That's good, that's good. Xiaguan will do it! ”
"Slow, you can send someone to do this, you don't have to do anything else tonight, first draw up a detailed disaster relief note and show it to me, and I will read it at the fourth watch tomorrow morning." Yang Yi couldn't wait, and had already ordered the ninth general to get up on the fourth shift. Preparing to go north to Xinzhou, he will definitely go north to command the bandits.
The disaster relief work of Taiyuan Mansion has to be temporarily handed over to Xiang Chaoran and these officials to do, Yang Yi wants to see if Xiang Chaoran has the ability to co-ordinate, if he can't even write the work plan well, the order can't be sorted out, no matter what kind of transfer envoy you have, Lao Tzu will be replaced immediately.
After all, Xiang Chaoran was a local master from Sanpin, and Yang Yi's tone was a little arrogant, which made him feel very uncomfortable, but after all, he didn't collide with him in person, and retreated in response.
Yang Yi saw his dissatisfaction, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he almost couldn't help but get angry, if you have the ability to do things better, will I do this to you?
Now that several days have passed, the disaster situation in Taiyuan is still a mess, and there are still so many missing people who have not been rescued, Yang Yi has taken care of the overall situation if he doesn't clean him up immediately.
He took a long breath, took out the Qingxin Pill and water given by Qingyun Lao Dao, and took the next one, he hadn't touched a woman in Beijing for a few days, he did feel irritated from time to time, the yang was full of fire, and his temper was a lot stronger.
Damn Qingfeng Mind Method, I don't know when I will be able to break through this bottleneck, now marching and fighting, not only need to think calmly, but it is impossible to take a woman to vent the fire, I can only eat the Qingxin Pill given by Qingyun Lao Dao to reconcile yin and yang;
If these Taoist pills are not a last resort, Yang Yi is unwilling to take them, the ghost knows what these pills contain, maybe there are lead, mercury, or whatever, then it will be miserable.
Anyway, Qingyun Lao Dao's elixir is still quite effective, and after taking it, he soon felt a cool feeling in his chest and abdomen disperse, and his mood was not so frivolous.
He went to visit Zhang Qi again, and when he saw that his injury had stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after instructing the two Lang Zhong to continue to use the original medicine, he asked for a room next door to rest;
He lay on the bed for a while, but it was difficult to sleep, and his mind began to plan how to put an end to the Monchijia rebellion as soon as possible.
The combat strength of the Hedong Army is actually not bad, Liu Yijie's seventh general suffered a night attack and led to a fiasco, which can only be said to be that Liu Yijie did not fully estimate the battlefield situation, and it does not mean that the seventh general is a shrimp soldier and crab general.
As for the loss of Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass, it was even more accidental, although it cannot be ruled out that Meng Qijia's wisdom played a great role, but he pretended to be a forbidden army to deceive the city, this kind of strategy can no longer be used, and it will not be so easy to win with similar methods in the future.
With 70,000 or 80,000 Hedong troops, it is not difficult to defeat the rebels of Meng Qijia, the difficult thing is how to completely exterminate it, the terrain of Hedong is complex, there are Taihang Mountains in the east, and Luliang Mountain runs through the north and south in the west;
There are also Heng Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Zhoushan Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and other large and small mountain ranges in the territory, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the hills are undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, once the rebels of Mengqijia retreat into the mountains, it will be difficult to completely exterminate them.
Originally, it was to come for disaster relief, but now the treasury is abundant, and it is enough to throw more money, but now it has become the first to suppress bandits, and they are still bandits, if they are not exterminated as soon as possible, let Meng Qijia burn down like this, Yizhou and Dingxiang have become scorched earth, and the people are from thieves to thieves, and the death of death, people are gone, and even if more money is spent, it will be difficult to recover in the short term.
Yang Yi has been in the wind and snow for the past few days, he is really tired, and he has not come up with a detailed battle plan, so he fell asleep in a daze, until the third watch, Xie Dongsheng came to wake him up, he got up and practiced the art of vomiting for half an hour, and the fourth watch Xiang Chaoran handed over the disaster relief work plan to him on time.
Yang Yi picked up the lamp and looked at it, and was even more dissatisfied with Xiang Chaoran, and was almost about to dismiss him, but thinking that it would take two days for Qin Zigui and these civil officials to arrive at Taiyuan Mansion, he withdrew Xiang Chaoran at this time, and he didn't know who could use it, so he could only endure it.
He pointed out one by one: "There is no need for centralized resettlement of disaster victims, although centralized resettlement is conducive to management, but now it is a cold winter month, tens of thousands of people gather together, it is difficult to just find firewood to make a fire to cook rice, and the tent is difficult to resist the cold wave, or let the Lizheng Baojia in various places be resettled on the spot, and if it is really not settled, live in the tent again, and wait for the number of disaster victims reported by Lizheng Baojia to send people to verify before the distribution, distribute disaster relief rice, grain, clothing and quilts, and let Lizheng collect it according to the verified data if possible, and after the task is assigned, which township." , if something goes wrong, you will find the local Baojiali to be held accountable. ”
Shang Chaoran defended: "Scholar Yang, if you are scattered and resettled according to what you said, I am afraid that there will inevitably be acts of embezzling disaster relief materials, making false reports, and harming the victims. ”
Yang Yi wouldn't know these ways, if the weather is sunny and warm, it is naturally better to be centrally settled, but now that the outdoor water is dripping into ice, those thin tents are difficult to resist the severe cold, you gather the old and weak in the tents to live, and I am afraid that more people will die of typhoid fever than during the earthquake.
"Eat and take the card to definitely have, so you have to verify, and then often send people to the victims to understand whether the disaster relief materials are implemented, once you find that there is a disaster to the people's Li Zheng Baojia, you immediately arrest me, cut it on the spot, is the so-called troubled times with heavy canons, at the moment the disaster is like fire, where there are so many reasons to say, can minimize the loss, this is the right reason."
Yang Yi took the trouble to explain, and it was about to be the fifth watch, so he hastily ate some food, and then rushed to the ninth general's camp.
The ninth general commanding envoy is called Jiao Chong, in his thirties, his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and his beard is horizontal, a little like the black whirlwind Li Kui in "Water Margin".
Yang Yi sent a military order last night to prepare for the expedition, and when Yang Yi entered the camp on the fifth watch, he saw his 3,000 men and horses standing on the school field with torches, and the whole army was as motionless as a mountain;
Yang Yi was very satisfied, praised Jiao Zhong a few words, and immediately ordered to rush to Chitang Pass to meet Meng Qing's sixth general.
Xie Dongsheng's 1,000 men and horses drove for a few days in a row, Yang Yi originally planned to leave them in Taiyuan to rest for two days, but Xie Dongsheng refused to live or die, and the whole battalion repeatedly asked for battle;
They can also be regarded as Yang Yi's descendants in Beijing, before Bao Yi's fourth general followed Yang Yi's southern expedition, made a lot of contributions, and won a rich reward, which had already made them red;
Now that I finally have the opportunity to come out with Yang Yi, I happened to encounter the Mengqijia rebellion again, where would I miss such an opportunity.
The morale is incredible, and Yang Yi really needs a descendant by his side, so that he can calm the scene, so they set off together.
Four thousand men and horses, stepping on the vast morning light, rumbled out of the north gate, the war horses neighed incessantly, their mouths kept spewing hot air, and the sonorous iron horses stepped on the snow, splashing snowflakes like mist.
The most urgent thing now is to exterminate Meng Qijia's group of traitors first, so that we can talk about helping the people of Xinzhou and Dingxiang. Therefore, the action must be fast, the start must be ruthless, and there must be no delay.
The problem is that most of the rebels in Mengqijia are now forced to obey the thieves, and if they are beaten hard, many of the people who are forced to obey the thieves will die innocently, which is completely different from fighting abroad;
Yang Yi traveled all the way north, thinking about countermeasures all the way, but in the end he couldn't help but smile: Maybe one day, we will also be put on a big hat to suppress the peasant uprising.
