Chapter 827: The Officers and Troops Go North
Wolf Mountain Deputy General 6 Quanyou did remember the self-defeat of Xuzhou without a fight, and he also palpitated at the fiasco on the barren grass beach, but as a military general, he also knew the soldiers, the reason is clear, the chance of victory in the raid is very great, and it is indeed possible to Bo this shop, Governor Guo Shangyou not only said these words very clearly, but also gave a promise, if 6 Quanyou helped, then the fiasco on the barren grass beach, he will do his best to cover up.
What makes 6 Quanyou even more tempted is the credit of this time, pacifying the rebellion against the thief, the military merit reward is definitely needless to say, it is not impossible to get a reward such as an earl and marquis, the governor Guo Shangyou has promised that the military merit distribution of Wolf Mountain is at least thirty percent, not to mention what kind of benefits can Qingjiang City have if it wins.
The Fengyang garrison governor Caoyun eunuch Cui Wensheng sent cavalry to say much, the Fengyang governor has the responsibility of the governor Caoyun, and the new celebrity around the Duke of Wei also has the function of governing Caoyun, so it is reasonable to send troops to help.
Moreover, Cui Wensheng has already communicated with Wei Zhongxian here, so he naturally understands the importance of this matter, and he does not dare to have the slightest ambiguity.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhao Zi battalion was too strong in Xuzhou, and even his hand had reached Suzhou, Cui Wensheng even planned to use Fengyang soldiers and horses to sneak attack Xuzhou, but he was desperately dissuaded by his generals.
Fengyang Zhongdu has to land, in case of loss, there is only one dead end for the internal and external officials related to the town guard and garrison, so it is impossible to be ambiguous, Cui Wen ascended into the air and did not make a move, but he also hoped to share a share of the military merit in the operation of Governor Guo Shangyou, so he sent the horse team out.
The horse team of Wolf Mountain and the horse team of Fengyang have experienced the incident of watching the soldiers in the rain, but only the leaders of each family went to watch the soldiers that day, and everyone retreated inexplicably, after all, they were a little unconvinced, and even if they were the generals who led the team, they were shocked when they saw that scene that day, but they had not been beaten with real knives and guns.
Under such an idea, Governor Guo Shangyou proposed a very practical way to use troops, and after thinking about it, everyone also felt that they had a great grasp, so they were ready to do it
When the will of the imperial court was quickly passed to Nanzhili, everyone's confidence was much greater, Nanzhili should have sent troops to quell the chaos, there was nothing to say, but the imperial court arranged for the soldiers and horses of Beizhili and Shandong to go south to help suppress but it was refreshing, not to mention anything else, everyone knew that Qingjiangpu was only a part of Xuzhou, and the brigade was still in Xuzhou, and won the battle in Qingjiangpu here, everyone had to sit down and talk, and to fight Qingjiangpu there, there was a huge risk, that is, what if Xuzhou sent reinforcements, Now you don't have to worry about so much, with the imperial court soldiers and horses, you can do it calmly.
At this time, it is really a north-south attack, so that the gang of Xuzhou thieves can not take care of each other, this side wins, that side is easier, even if there is a small setback, that side will contain Xuzhou, so that the thief army does not dare to pursue.
With this mentality, the morale of the army is high, and they originally only wanted the cavalry to rush and catch the other party off guard, but now there is a plan for the cavalry to advance, the infantry slowly advances, and then the Wolf Mountain Soldiers and Horses Brigade will follow.
Nanzhili is different from other places, both sides of the canal are rich land, the canal waterway transportation is convenient, marching and fighting elsewhere, after gathering soldiers and horses, you have to wait for the grain and grass to be ready, set up a military station, in order to move forward slowly, otherwise there is a slight problem with the grain and grass road, that is the great disaster of the collapse of the army's heart, but the imperial court officials and soldiers in Nanzhili have no such scruples, Xuzhou only cut off the canal, according to the Qingjiangpu point, and did not go out to sweep, Nanzhili is as usual, in such a situation, although the march is cautious, But it's not much different from the inside line.
And the cavalry marched fast, and the foot soldiers were the nearby garrisons of Gaoyou Prefecture, so the army was gathered on the second day of the first month of August, and the third day of the first month of August was to open the north, according to the news and estimates that came there, the four thousand soldiers and horses led by Lu Qin, the chief soldier of Baoding, should have left Baoding Mansion.
The deputy general of Wolf Mountain has 3,600 troops, 200 Fengyang garrisons, 1,200 people and horses in the standard battalion, a total of 5,000 people, led by the standard battalion guerrilla Jiao Dayong, and Zhai Zhengxian of Huaiyang Haiphong Dao supervised the army.
This kind of army of this specification needs to be led by Wenchen as usual, and the governor does not have to come in person, but there must always be a Taoist minister, but the south is directly under the Jiangbei region, the Yingzhou military reserve road is far away in the northwest of Fengyang, and the Xuzhou military preparation road has been empty for a long time, so it can only be led by the Huaiyang Taoist minister who is responsible for coastal defense.
The team gathered by the governor of Fengyang did not move fast, walking thirty miles a day, which was not slow, but their baggage and materials were all transported along the river, and the foot soldiers were moving lightly, and they should have walked faster.
Similar to the judgment of the two sides, during the march of the Nanzhili official army, the Xuzhou people and horses of Qingjiangpu kept an eye on it, but they were not too offended, that is, the light cavalry was far away, and someone followed in the morning and evening.
And the officers and soldiers were not idle, and kept coming and going, but their fast horses were not for reconnaissance and spying, but to determine what distance the officers and troops of Baoding and Shandong had marched.
From Gaoyou Prefecture to Qingjiangpu in the north, it takes two days and two nights for fast horses, not to mention the movement of the army, and from the north of Baoding Mansion to gather soldiers and horses to go to Linqingzhou, Shandong, and the Shandong soldiers and horses over there, along the canal to the south, this will take longer.
The news exchange between Jingshi and Qingjiangpu is smooth, and the news of the soldiers' suppression is also the fastest to learn, and there are so many people who go south and north, and they can roughly judge the time of the battle.
The atmosphere has gradually become tense, but everyone knows that the fight will start, I am afraid that it will be around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and God knows when it will be finished.
If it is delayed until September and October, and the autumn grain harvest cannot be shipped out, and even the autumn grain cannot be collected in Qingjiangpu, many people's plans to make money this year will be severely setback, and Qingjiangpu will not be able to earn silver, and the benefits of offering to Jingshi and Nanjing will naturally be much less.
When the imperial court did not express its position before, everyone was gritting their teeth and staying up, but once the imperial court had news, Qingjiangpu could no longer bear it, and all interests related to Cao Yun showed their abilities, and tried their best to urge the army to speed up the march, as for the matter of rescuing Wang Youshan from the prison of the Beijing Division, no one thought about it at all, and no one would take the initiative to mention it.
Compared with Ma Chonghao leading the team to the north, this time Qingjiangpu did feel nervous, Qingjiang City has been completely closed, and the wealthy businessmen and wealthy people in Qingjiangpu can leave one after another, at this time it is just right to go to Yangzhou to live happily for a few days, and the Yin Shi people can also leave, only those who were held hostage by Zhao Ziying, and those ordinary people who have nowhere to go, can only suffer in fear.
Originally, the people on Xu Hongru's side were not much use when they went out of Shandong Province, but now the canal line is simply blooming everywhere, and the eyes and ears of the internal guard and Zhao Ziying report every day.
This reason is also simple, originally there were many congregants who burned incense on Caoding's troops, but they were self-contained, not related to Shandong, nor did they mix the grievances between Xuzhou and Shandong, but now it is different, the canal is broken, everyone's livelihood has been affected, and naturally there is a lot of resentment.
It turned out that what the sectarians in Shandong wanted to do, Caoyun didn't pay attention to it at all, and they were full of food and drink, so why bother to mix with those risky things, but now they either have grievances or want to retaliate, they are more or less convenient, with the intention of fearing that the world will not be chaotic.
But it's not easy to make trouble now, at this juncture, Zhao Ziying's relevant places don't care about the perception of any place, as long as they violate the rules and arrest people directly, or send them to the barren grass beach for hard labor, or directly kill their heads, under the harsh law, they can't make any trouble.
And according to the news of the flight sign broken by Mu Shulan, the helm of Yuncheng, Shandong, gave orders continuously, so that everyone could wait for the big change in a low-key manner and not be reckless.
Because at this juncture, the soldiers and horses of Baoding Town in Beizhili are passing through Shandong in the south, and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili are heading north, although their target is Zhao Jin, but if the Wenxiangjiao is about to make trouble at this juncture, the officials and soldiers will also kill.
After the officers and troops led by Zhai Zhengxian of Huaiyang Haiphong Dao and Jiao Dayong, the guerrilla of the governor standard battalion, arrived in Baoying County, they stopped according to the prior agreement.
It's nothing for the official army, because it hasn't been out of Yangzhou yet, the foot soldiers haven't moved too far at all, the number of horse teams is not much, the local area is rich and prosperous, the supply is sufficient, everyone can't be happy to go on for a long time, since the Japanese have subsided, Nanzhili has not had any chaos, how good the wife is peaceful, and no one wants to see blood with a knife.
At this time, Baoying County is much more prosperous than before, and the reason is simple, the northern transport hub Qingjiangpu was cut off, and the ships going north could only stay, and many ships that had arrived there were also turned back, and many ships were either unloaded in Baoying County, or directly traded at a reduced price here.
Because there are a lot of people trading, and even a small-scale bazaar has been formed, and there are actually merchants from Qingjiangpu who come to trade, after all, Baoying County is the closest county town to Qingjiangpu in the south, and in the rich Yangzhou Mansion, the trade here can barely radiate Yangzhou and Fengyang.
The northbound ships turned back, and there were also ships docked here, which made the canal from Qingjiangpu to Baoying extremely congested, and even merchants hired big cars to do business here.
