Chapter 977: Fucheng (200 votes plus change)
Just like that, when the sun was in the west, the "official army brigade" came to this Zhuangzi, looking at the dust and raising the sky, the momentum was huge, but it was people holding bamboo branches, sweeping while walking, everyone was covered in dust, saying that the sky was broken that is, 800 foot soldiers plus more than a dozen carts, and the carts were also dragging branches, and the carts were also planted with big flags, and the family members also carried the big flags.
The exiles who have been taken prisoner do not know the situation outside at all, and if they do, there will be no commotion, the difference in combat strength is too much, a thousand rabble, and fifty cavalry of the "official army" are enough to wipe out.
"Don't beat the dust, this looks just right, Xu Yong, you lead fifty horsemen and one hundred people to guard here, don't cry and mourn, your credit for staying here and entering the city is the same, and the rest follow me, remember, we are Ming officials." Zhao Jin briefly admonished a few words, and the foot soldiers who came over didn't even have time to rest, so they set out together.
For the sentence "We are the Ming Dynasty official army", it was originally a joke, but no one laughed along, the atmosphere was already a little dignified, Zhao Jin was wearing a thousand general clothes, this time most of the flags were left on the side of the camp of the refugees, and then someone drove the captives to work, and the dust was flying up, and it looked like the army was camped from a distance.
*************
Ziyang, the capital of Yanzhou, was already extremely nervous, they knew that Jining City had fallen, and they also knew that there were many eyeliner spies in the city, although the camp of thieves was far away from them, but they didn't dare to go out lightly, let alone rescue the surroundings, the palace of King Lu issued a strict order while issuing a heavy reward, restraining the officials, soldiers and civilians in the city not to be lightly dispatched, all of them were focused on the safety of Ziyang, and they held here, which was stronger than anything else.
When they saw the cavalry rushing into the camp of the Wenxiang Sect rebellion, there was a commotion in Ziyang City, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they hurriedly sounded the gong to warn, and the whole city strengthened its vigilance.
When the camp of the Wenxiang Sect was broken, and the fleeing homeless people were everywhere, some people began to guess cautiously at the head of the city, saying that it was not the reinforcements coming, although the chaos was not clear, and there was dust to cover it, but vaguely looked at the uniform color of the official army, which made the city head jubilant, only a hundred Qiao Shan looked very cautious, and warned everyone, saying that people are not in front of them, and they must not be careless, if the city is won by the thieves, then everything is over.
Qiao Baihu has been guarding the city, these days he has not changed his clothes, eating and drinking with everyone, and the thieves are also preparing to fight with knives and guns when they demonstrate around the city, and they are old and calm everywhere, and their prestige is getting higher and higher, after he spoke, everyone was very convinced.
But the retreat of tens of thousands of people can not be hidden, some of them ran through the city, but also shouted that the official army is coming, the people on the city wall are more and more optimistic, and when they see the team fluttering the flag of the official army in the distance into the camp of the displaced people, some people can not help cheering, and several officers and soldiers who are guarding the city are even more enthusiastic to go out of the city to converge, and attack inside and outside.
However, this plan was immediately stopped by the people on the head of the city, whether it was the palace of King Lu or the prefect of Yanzhou, for the safety of their own families, they did not want the officials and troops to leave the city, so as not to risk the city.
The officers, soldiers, and civilians on the city wall became more and more excited, watching the actions of the "reinforcements" with blank eyes, and when they saw the "reinforcement brigade" camping on the side of the thieves' camp and preparing themselves, and detaching a partial division to walk in the direction of the city, some people were already shouting wildly, and after being nervous for so many days, they were finally saved.
When the "official army partial division" arrived at the city, the city seemed to be boiling, and it was really thunderous, and the city was just more than 300 horsemen, more than 700 foot soldiers, but there was a strong momentum exuding from it, and the general manager of the officers and soldiers guarding the city stepped forward to ask, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The city is the brother of that road?" β
"We are the standard battalion of Yang Zhaoji, the chief military officer of Caozhou, and we are here to garrison Ziyang City!" Roared roughly.
Although Ziyang City is "besieged", but the news has been very smooth, of course, I know that the imperial court has issued an order, ordering Yang Zhaoji, the former Datong general soldier who is recuperating at home, to be the general soldier of Caozhou, bringing together all kinds of officers and soldiers to quell the chaos, since the army of Shandong General Yang Guodong failed under Jining City, Ziyang City has been looking forward to the arrival of Caozhou this way.
"My marshal led the army to rush forward, so that those thieves were caught off guard, and directly dispersed them, the marshal ordered me to wait for the city to assist in the defense, and the marshal will lead the army to Jining tomorrow" The people under the city explained the ins and outs very clearly.
The city is jubilant and infinite, they have no doubt about the following words, there is chaos in the Ming Dynasty, the most afraid of any mistakes in the pro-domain, no matter how good you fight, once there is the death of the king of the domain, the governor, the governor, the general soldier This level of civil and military officials at all levels will all be unlucky, and not only the official position is not guaranteed, the head may not be able to be saved, in the layer of reasons, although the key to the Shandong rebellion is in Zou County and Jining, but regardless of Jinan or Caozhou, they all want to save the Ziyang City where the palace of King Lu is located, Even the Confucian Mansion of Yanshenggong, which is usually above the top, is said to have to move in, so as not to let the rebellious army defeat Ziyang City, but break Qufu and let Confucius Mansion step on the desperate road of the Meng family.
Since Ziyang City has been saved, then the next step is to attack Jining City, so that Cao Yun can be unimpeded, this is the order of priority, think about the fiasco of Shandong soldiers and horses, and then think about the big victory just now, someone in the city can't help but sigh: "The army here is different, and it has to be lost that Yang Zhaoji still has a bit of an old foundation." β
"There are still thieves wandering outside the city, there is still a risk outside the city at night, let us enter the city and camp, tomorrow my marshal will pull out the camp and go south to Jining, and I will be stationed in the city to assist in the defense" always has such a conversation, so that the people in the city are a little anxious, and finally break the enemy to rescue, but they can't enter the city, and anyone has fire.
Although they dare not let the officials and soldiers enter the city on weekdays, for fear that these soldiers and horses will harm the place, but at this time, these officers and soldiers enter the city, which will multiply the strength of guarding Ziyang City, and even if the displaced people come again, the possibility of defending it is much greater.
"Don't be a fraud?" I don't know who muttered a sentence on the head of the city, the jubilant city head immediately quieted down a lot, the thieves are cunning, the fall of Jining City has already shown this, in case this is also a trick, what if?
But at this time, Baihu Qiao Shan said impatiently: "There is fraud and fraud, if the thieves have such a strong team, we can still hold it, do the thieves in your family have so many horses?" β
He said this angrily, but everyone suddenly realized, the worry and worry were all gone, not to mention anything else, the thieves have a total of more than a dozen horses in their hands, that may get hundreds at once, these reinforcements under the city look dirty, covered in dust, but the armor, horse harness, and weapons are all neatly organized, how can the tattered and rotten homeless people come out, not to mention, how can the homeless people have such a neat and orderly team, what kind of apologetic army they take out their hands is, they can just walk a square team, It is comparable to the soldiers and horses below, and at first glance they are experienced in a hundred battles, perhaps experienced in the nine sides.
What really reassures everyone is the words of Baihu Qiaoshan, since he said it, everyone thinks it is true, and the most important thing is that the people in King Lu's palace are not worried, so there is no need to think about it.
"Let the city prepare the reward and the grain and grass, and vacate the barracks for them, and then open the north gate, where there are few things piled up." Qiao Shan said in a loud voice, although he is a hundred households, but because of the title of the guard of honor, it is higher than the position of the general manager of the official army, and he has developed prestige these days, so as soon as he spoke, everyone listened, and besides, he did arrange it in an orderly manner.
Everyone agreed, some people went to shout with the city, some people hurried down to the city to prepare, the north gate is to let the messenger out of the city, plus the thieves have not come to attack the city, so there are not many sandbags and dirt bags piled up, and it is easier to open the door.
"Master Qiao, now that this city has been saved, what are you still doing with a gloomy face?" Everyone was smiling, but Baihu Qiao Shan's face did not ease at all, but became heavier, and there was a joke about the familiar past.
Qiao Shan was stunned, then shook his head and said: "I don't know how Jining can fight under the city, if there is another mistake, the thieves will come around, I can't let go, reinforcements into the city, this is a big deal, I want to report to the prince." β
Looking at Qiao Shan far away, there were still people talking and admiring behind, saying that such an old and capable person could only be on an errand in the palace, it was a pity, who in the world didn't know, doing things in the palace had a lot of benefits, but there was no future.
From a distance, you can see some merchants looking like to meet them, this is not surprising, this time the city pays attention to everyone's efforts, the shops in the city pΓΉ business houses have to donate some, the money and grain are taken out, the young and strong in the store have to be requisitioned to do things, and now there are officials and soldiers entering the city, there must be apportionment on them.
The jubilant excitement on the head of the city quickly spread to the entire Ziyang City, from the outer city to the royal city, all cheered, everyone was happy, although this strong city gave people a lot of confidence, but tens of thousands of thieves outside, the city was turbulent every day, and there was an example of the fall of Jining in front, who was not heavy in his heart, but as soon as this army of soldiers and horses arrived, everyone's heart was put down.
The Yamen of the Governor of Yanzhou Prefecture and the Yamen of the Governor of Ziyang County are arranged for officials to come to condole, and the gentry in the city spontaneously raised materials to come to reward, but the officials and soldiers who were originally in the city did not come forward according to the convention, and the Turkish army and the guest army must get along cautiously.
