Chapter Thirty-Six: The Combined Army Sets Out
Whether a woman in that era bought it or a matchmaker who had never met her, as long as she slept with a man, she would be dead set on it in the future, anyway, 99% of them would live with this man with peace of mind.
What about feelings, sleep and sleep, and there will be. Add another doll and it's even deeper. What to talk about free love, what to talk about equality between men and women, that is out of place and against tradition!
Meng Jiu came to think of getting married as soon as possible and completely conquering this rouge horse, but the change in the situation had to make him postpone the marriage.
After the main force of the Jin army rested, it began to attack Li Quan's department.
Li Quan was bound to lose, and of course Meng Jiucheng knew this. And once the two northern barriers of Anqiu and Linqu are lost, facing the Jin army directly is the result that has to be considered.
Therefore, before Meng Jiucheng left Qingdao, he sent a letter to Yang Miaozhen, stating the changes in the situation and hoping that she would lead the army to Jiaozhou to meet. Then the two of them jointly led the army north to resist the Jin army.
The news from Jimo was quickly sent to Meng Jiucheng, and Yang Miaozhen agreed very happily, and it was really an unusual woman.
Of course, the drills of the 1st battalion of the Red Turban Army also played a great role.
Shocked by the sharpness of the red turban firearms, the reorganization of the joint army was carried out smoothly, and Yang Miaozhen's department was organized into three battalions and began training. Those who retired from the country have also been resettled, and they have fields and houses, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Speaking of which, the rebels were all ordinary people who were forced by officials to rebel against the people, and most of them were peasants. They don't want to live a life of fighting and fighting all the time, and being able to live in peace, but it is their dream.
And Meng Jiucheng's ideas and means of governing the local area just gave the people a settled and peaceful life.
He treats the people harshly, and I treat the people with leniency.
With contrast, there is yearning, unwillingness, and resistance.
Be steady, slow down, it's okay.
The good reputation of wisdom and generosity, the policies and laws that the people sincerely support, the happy homeland that the people are willing to protect desperately, and the effective management measures......
Hard power is constantly increasing, and soft power must also be consolidated and strengthened.
Yang Miaozhen led the three battalions of men and horses to Jiaozhou, and after meeting with Meng Jiucheng, he turned to Mizhou (Zhucheng), and then went west to Yishui County, Juzhou.
Along the way, it is late autumn and winter, although the field is a bleak scene, but the villages and towns have basically got rid of the desolation and desolation.
Even Yishui County, which has not been occupied for a long time, is recovering from the trauma of war.
For the people of Pingtou, it is gradually becoming a consensus that they have temporarily got rid of the brutal rule and terrible war, and have a series of newly promulgated and implemented policies to benefit the people.
Although there is a shortage of food, it is supplemented by miscellaneous grains, vegetables, wild vegetables and other things, but it is not enough to starve to death. As long as there is no starvation and no war, the endurance of the people is amazing.
The real food shortage will be in the spring of next year, Yang Miaozhen and others don't know that Meng Jiucheng is making every effort to buy grain to prepare for the famine.
"Meng Shuai's culture is really amazing." Yang Miaozhen said with emotion: "When our army went south, all we saw were deserted villages and wild shrines, and the people were struggling to make a living, but under the rule of Meng Shuai, it was peaceful and peaceful. ”
Meng Jiucheng shook his head lightly and said, "Vice Marshal Yang has passed the award, and peace and tranquility can't be talked about, it's just a temporary way to get the people out of the war." ”
"Villages and towns have walled walls, there are militia groups, and the people are free from freezing and discouragement, which can be called peaceful and peaceful." Yang Miaozhen smiled bitterly and said: "If there is such a life, where will the rebel army swarm, and the slave family will not ride a horse to fight." ”
"The government forced the people to rebel, and it has been done since ancient times." Meng Jiucheng flicked his horsewhip lightly and laughed at himself: "If you weren't forced to be helpless, you would still be a little Taoist priest!" ”
Speaking of the little Taoist, Yang Miaozhen couldn't help laughing.
Hehe, Meng Jiucheng also laughed and said: "Heroes are not afraid of their backgrounds, and women can also be proud." What does Vice Marshal Yang think? ”
Yang Miaozhen pondered carefully, nodded, her voice was suddenly lowered, and she said with a little blush: "Meng Shuai, don't call me Vice Marshal Yang in the future, it's good to call me Miaozhen!" ”
On this march, the two are already engaged, they talk harmoniously, and their relationship has deepened. Yang Miaozhen suddenly proposed to change the name, which was an expression of Meng Jiucheng's love.
"Miaozhen." Meng Jiucheng turned his head to look at her and called affectionately.
Well! Yang Miaozhen didn't dare to look at Meng Jiucheng, and responded shyly and timidly.
……………
Yishui County is located in the central and southern regions of Shandong, in the hinterland of Yimeng Mountain, in the upper reaches of the Yi River and the Shu River. It is adjacent to Juxian County in the east, Yiyuan and Mengyin in the west, Yinan in the south, and Anqiu and Linqu in the north.
Meng Jiucheng deployed heavy troops in the low mountains and hilly areas north of Yishui, preparing to use the advantage of the terrain to resist the southward movement of the Jin army.
Previously, Zheng Si'an had led his troops to build several forts and defensive facilities in the Taiboding Mountains in the north of the county. All kinds of weapons and supplies are also constantly being delivered.
Now, Meng Jiucheng personally sits in Yishui, and has a total of fifteen or six thousand men and horses with Yang Miaozhen, ready to face the battle.
The men and horses that originally belonged to Yang Miaozhen underwent a major change of clothing in Yishui, and mixed with the Red Turban Army, and carried out emergency training to adapt to the new equipment, new weapons, and new tactics.
The Taiboding Mountain Range, located in the north of Yishui, is an extension of Yishan Mountain, trending northeast-southwest, and is a natural barrier in the northern part of the county.
The mountain is shaded by pine forests, dense vegetation and extremely steep. Moreover, a section of the Great Wall of Qi is also on the Taiboding Mountain.
The Great Wall of Qi is the Great Wall built by the ancient Qi State, in order to prevent the invasion of Lu, Chu and other countries, the Qi State extended the Great Wall that was built sporadically before. After the extension, the Great Wall of Qi winds from east to west, from Pingyin in the west to Langyatai in the east, winding for thousands of miles.
The Great Wall of Qi, with its humble ancient charm, is far inferior to the majesty of the Great Wall in the land of Yanzhao in the north, nor can it be compared with the more ancient and exquisite grand buildings in the world.
But when the voice is silent, its fading body can still speak.
Standing on the site of the Great Wall of Qi, Meng Jiucheng looked into the distance and said with emotion: "When the past was intact, it was undulating and stretching for thousands of miles, and the momentum was so majestic. However, no matter how strong the fortress is, no matter how solid the defense line is, there will eventually be a time when it will be breached. ”
Yang Miaozhen was wearing a red hat, a red coat on his upper body, and grass-green wide-legged pants on his lower body, standing next to Meng Jiucheng, also looking at the mountains and obstacles.
Hearing Meng Jiucheng's emotion, Yang Miaozhen did not comment on this, but stretched out his finger to the north and said, "You told me that there is Muling Pass at the junction of Linqu and Yishui, which can be called dangerous. If Li Quan is defeated in Linqu, he will retreat to this pass. If this pass is not secured, it will have to retreat to our army's garrison. ”
hasn't gotten married yet, and in my heart I already identify as a family, otherwise how can I say it's "our army"?
