Chapter 184: Fighting for Chuan and Profiting on Asking for a Monthly Pass
Rollo is running naked, can you ask for the comfort of the monthly pass? If you still have a monthly pass, can you help Luo Luo? In other words, the top 10 classified monthly passes are also quite eye-catching
Liang Chongru's words were suddenly like a basin of cold water poured down, pouring the generals in the festival hall from head to toe.
The Imperial Thunderbolt Navy Army was indeed controlled by Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan, Chen Dexing fought to the death in front, no matter how much credit he made, the Lu family had to take a share. But the generals in Sichuan, such as Wang Jian, Liu Quan, Yu Xing, and Yang Wen, are not subordinates of the Lu family!
Lu Wende is now just a deputy envoy of the Sichuan system, and theoretically he is still a subordinate of Pu Zezhi, the Sichuan Xuanfu system envoy - in fact, everyone knows that Pu Zezhi and Lu Wende are not all the way. But the problem is that the generals in the middle of the river are now Pu Zhizhi in moderation! They are going to make meritorious contributions, that is, Pu Zezhi is making meritorious contributions!
If the generals of Central Sichuan regained Chengdu and Lizhou before Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan entered Chongqing...... This Pu Zhizhi is meritorious and without fault, and Lu Wende still turned to Sichuan Xuanfu to make an envoy?
If Lu Wende can't turn positive, then what about the Anfeng generals who followed Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan into Sichuan? The head of the big guy's soldiers is a little tasteless, and they all expect to get some kind of appeasement, prefect, and governor in Sichuan, and they have also lived the taste of getting on the horse to manage the army and getting off the horse to manage the people!
Sichuan Xuanfu System Division has four roads, including Chengdu Fu Road, Lizhou Road, Zizhou Road, and Kuizhou Road, and there are dozens of military, state, and government under it. Moreover, Sichuan has long been a situation where martial artists are in power, and it is not as expensive as Lianghuai where civil officials are still noble, and now in addition to the Xuanfu system envoy and the knowledge of Chongqing Prefecture Pu Zhizhi is a civil official from Jinshi. The pacification, zhizhou and zhijun below are almost all concurrently served by military generals. This is the oil and water. It's much more than a lone one.
However, the warriors in the river are also firmly eyeing the dispatch of these roads, prefectures, states, and armies! A considerable part of these missions now belong to these serpents. I want them to hand over their mission. It's almost hard. If the Mongolian army does not retreat, and the troops of the Lu family enter Sichuan, the two sides will be so pressed, and the generals in Sichuan will have to bow their heads.
But what if the Mongols retreated, and the generals of the Sichuan took the opportunity to regain a large area of territory? They were originally the head snakes of the land, and with the credit, who could drive them away? I'm afraid that Lu Wende won't even be able to ascend to the throne of the Xuanfu system - he is a martial artist in the end, if the Sichuan Zhongzhu drove the Mongols away, why did the officials in Lin'an give him the Xuanfu system? Won't you send another civilian official who doesn't know anything to Sichuan?
Lu Wenhuan's face suddenly became ugly. His army had already retreated to Kuizhou, which was more than 800 miles away from Chongqing, and it was still against the current, and the weather was so hot that it was not easy for the army to travel thirty or forty miles a day. More than 800 miles to walk for more than 20 days!
If it weren't for Chen Dexing and his Thunderbolt army, it wouldn't matter if they walked for a month, anyway, the leaders of the Sichuan army would not have the ability to drive the Mongols away. But now there is one more Chen Dexing...... It's hard to say! Wasn't the Great Khan of the Tartars defeated by him? Although it is difficult to say that he is on land, on the rivers of Sichuan, he is probably allowed to come and go.
The eyes of the generals all looked at Lu Wenhuan blankly.
Lu Wenhuan pondered and hesitated for a long time. Finally took a breath, turned his head to Lu Shihu and said, "The order that asked you to take over the Thunderbolt Water Army before is gone...... Hurry up and grab your reward and go after the Thunderbolts. Sue Chen Dexing garrison Fuzhou, wait for the arrival of the army, and do not rush forward! ”
The armies of the central Sichuan army wanted to counterattack. Lu Wenhuan can't control it, but Chen Dexing is controlled by Lu Wenhuan, as long as he is stationed in Fuzhou, he will not enter. With the strength of the armies in Sichuan. He didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the city occupied by the Tartars, right?
……
Chongqing Prefecture, Guangyang Island.
Lu Wenhuan and Lu Shihu never dreamed of it. Chen Dexing's march will be so fast, after a bitter battle, there will only be a day's rest. The whole army marched against the scorching sun and against the current. In just four days, it drove 1780 miles. On the night of the fifth day after the Battle of Nantuochang, the whole army was stationed on Guangyang Island, which was more than 20 miles west of the Fucheng of Chongqing.
As the name suggests, Guangyang Island is a small island located in the Yangtze River, with a long history, and is said to have been inhabited by the Ba people in ancient times. At this time, it was under the jurisdiction of Ba County, where the Chongqing Prefecture was located, and there were walled cities and naval wharves on the island. However, when Meng Ge's army crossed the border, the defenders on Guangyang Island did not intercept it, but only cowered in the walled city. And now, the walled city and wharf on Guangyang Island are all occupied by Chen Dexing's department, which has more than 15,000 people.
Under the setting sun, thousands of soldiers drove onto the island one after another, each busy with their own affairs.
Most of the officers and soldiers were mainly men and horses of the Perak Water Army, including more than 1,000 people of the Dingwu Army under the jurisdiction of Zhang Shijie and the captured Beidi Han Army and the New Attached Army. They were either building their own camps, or repairing damaged warships, and some were sent out to guard along the southern shore of Guangyang Island near the south bank of the Yangtze River, and some were placed in Guangyang City, waiting to be reorganized—they were mainly Zhang Shijie's old troops, and they had not yet fully integrated into the Perak Navy.
The people were the slender men brought by the Perak Navy Army from Xiajiang, numbering about 3,000, all of them were strong men, and they also carried bows, arrows, knives and spears - the people of Jinghu North Road in the Southern Song Dynasty (Jinghu Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Jinghu Lake and Jingnan Southwest) were the same as the people of Lianghuai, and everyone had bows and knives in their hands. Although they worked hard all the way, they did not have a short time to eat, and they ate whatever Chen Dexing's Thunderbolt Army ate.
In addition, the Thunderbolt Navy also paid them for the first time, although they were all not very valuable members, but it was better than nothing. Moreover, the generals of the Perak Navy Army were also very polite, and they did not greet them with whips and sticks at every turn, and the sick people were also sent to the wounded and sick camp, where they were taken care of by medical officers and young soldiers (Chen Dexing's fake soldiers), and there were sick meals to eat. Along the way, these people did not fail to say that the Thunderbolt Water Army and Chen Dexing were good.
And now, Kong Xiucai has brought the righteous instructors to the Minling camp and began to mobilize them to join the Perak Army...... If such a thing as expanding the military quota without authorization was in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was basically a crime of rebellion. But at the moment, it's really nothing.
The military leaders of Jinghu and Sichuan are all like this. Most of them also led the localities, on the horse to manage the army, off the horse to manage the people, when the Mongols came, they all desperately used the power in their hands to expand the army. If they do not have enough money to pay military salaries, they embezzle official money and property, withhold taxes, and privately divide official land.
Of course, it is indispensable to use this opportunity to put some money and land in your pocket. As a result, the armies of Jinghu and Sichuan were reduced to feudal towns, and the local finances were completely controlled by the warlords, thus aggravating the financial crisis of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is the reason why Jia Rudao came to power and implemented the plan law to rectify the finances and warlords in Jinghu and Sichuan. However, it provoked the big tiger Liu Quan, and led Zizhou all the way to rebel against Song and Mongolia!
However, fighting tigers or anything is an afterthought, and now Chen Dexing, the big tiger, can expand the army with his hands and feet. According to Chen Dexing's arrangement, the captured more than 4,000 Mongol and Han troops and the new annexed army should be recruited, Zhang Shijie's subordinates should be recruited at least 1,000, and the people should strive to mobilize 2,000, and in addition, recruit some men and horses in Sichuan as much as possible. By the time the Perak Navy returned to Lianghuai, it would have to raise 20,000 troops no matter what.
Chen Dexing's Chinese army was located in Guangyang City, which was built by Yu Yu when he was supervising Sichuan, and the city was small but strong. The area of the city, I don't know if there are 100,000 square meters. When the Mongol army crossed the border, it was crowded with people who had taken refuge, and now seeing Chen Dexing's tens of thousands of troops coming from Xiajiang to help, the people's hearts were a little calm, and the people left the city and returned home. Similar to the situation in Lianghuai, the land in Chongqing Prefecture was owned by Jiangmen in Sichuan, and the land in Guangyang Island happened to be owned by Yang Wen, the pacification envoy of Banzhou. The owner of the Guangyang Walled City is also the nephew of the Yang family, named Yang Zhengnan, a black and thin young man, a mouthful of Banzhou dialect, Chen Dexing and Wang Jian don't understand much, but Wang Yan can speak a little, so Wang Yan acted as a translator, and several people gathered around the Mutu military discussion in the Walled City Bureau.
According to the spies, the Tartar army is short of food, and has been slaughtering war horses for food, and from time to time they are plundering around. However, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have long been fortified and cleared, and the people have moved to the cottages, and the losses are not too great. ”
Yang Zhengnan spoke the difficult Banzhou dialect, but what he reported was a very critical military situation. At this time, the military states south of the Sichuan River, such as Banzhou, Zhenzhou, Nanping Army, and Zhenzhou, were all under the jurisdiction of Yang Wen, the pacification envoy of Banzhou, which was actually the hereditary territory of the Yang family in Banzhou, and those territories had been ruled by the Yang family for fifteen generations, and the power of the Yang family was naturally deep-rooted. Every move of the Mongol army could not be concealed from these local snakes.
“…… There are about 60,000 people in the Tartar army, of which there are about 40,000 real Tartars, and the rest are mainly the Han army of Liu Heima, Shi Tianze. There was still an epidemic in the Tartar army, and the Han army that was infected every day was abandoned, but the infected true Tartars were not abandoned. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhengnan suddenly paused, frowned slightly, and said: "In addition, there is also news, according to the abandoned Han army sick soldiers, the Tartar Khan Meng Ge may have died...... It was killed by a thunderbolt in the battle of Nantuochang! It is also said that the Great Khan of Tartar has contracted the disease, and he is quite strict, and may be about to die. ”
"What!?" Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, his face was full of joy, and first told Chen Dexing and Wang Jian the news reported by Yang Zhengnan in official dialect, and then asked in Banzhou dialect: "Brother Zhengnan, can the news be confirmed?" Isn't it a rumor? ”
Yang Zhengnan shook his head and said, "The news of the death of the Tartar Khan is uncertain...... However, the news that the Tartar Khan was infected should be true, and the sick soldiers of the Han army who were caught all said so, this news is no secret in the Tartar army. The Great Khan of the Tartars has not appeared for many days, and now the affairs of the Great Tartar army are presided over by the Queen of the Tartars and the younger brother of the Great Khan of the Tartars.
