122 Straw bales Jing Haibo
Yun Chu pretended to be innocent, clapped his hands and smiled, "It's amazing... Where are you going? When to go? ”
"I will leave at the beginning of next month and go to the coast of eastern Zhejiang for three months." Guo Fan knows everything about Yun Chu, and he has nothing to say, anyway, it's not a secret.
At the beginning of next month. Fortunately, I can see the God Killer twice.
"Are you going to all the cavalry camps?" Yun Chu asked.
"Go." Guo Fan said proudly, "The general has gone to the military department to discuss the expansion of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and when the expansion of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is decided, the scale of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion can reach 30,000 people." How can 30,000 people wipe out the pirates? ”
Expansion of the Riding Battalion! That's good news.
Yun Chu's heart moved, and she didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Guo Fan here, and gave them the wine and meat, so she ran back to King Qin's mansion with her skirt.
She has been worrying about how to stuff people around the Lord Killing God, and someone handed her a pillow when she was really dozing.
In this way, she really has to thank Jing Haibo for that straw bag.
The Great Qi has always attached great importance to land warfare, not to coastal defense, and in the past few years, it has fought with the Uighurs, and most of this military expenditure has been invested in buying horses. There were 100,000 troops in the northwest, 60,000 in the northeast and 60,000 in the southwest, in comparison. On the southeast coast, the 10,000 sailors in Jing Haibo's hands are really not enough.
However, even if there are only 10,000 sailors, it is also a regular army equipped by Daqi, under his leadership, it was actually beaten less and less by a group of pirates, at first he still did not dare to report to the imperial court, and the pirates were rounded up for some days, but the more they whirled, the fewer people, overstretched, more and more difficult to continue, the people along the coast suffered from the harassment of the bandits, and repeatedly asked Jing Haibo to send troops to help, Jing Haibo dared to send at first, but the navy was getting fewer and fewer, and in the end there were fewer and fewer people who could be sent, and Jing Haibo could only grit his teeth. The remaining 5,000 sailors were arranged at the location of Jinghaibo Mansion, Haiyang City.
His nest can't be.
Jing Haibo retreated to Haiyang City, and those coastal bandits became more and more arrogant. It used to come every other month like my aunt, and gradually developed into a half-month come, and then I was so arrogant that I came every other day.
Jing Haibo saw that this came too often, and if he concealed it and didn't report it, he was afraid that not only would he not be protected, but even his life would be lost.
So eight months ago, he gave a very euphemistic excerpt to Emperor Su.
Emperor Su didn't take it seriously at the time, didn't he just make some pirates? What year is it not a fuss? The bandits all ran away as soon as they harassed them, so Emperor Su allocated some money and food to Jing Haibo, ordering him to continue to suppress the bandits.
Jing Haibo looked at it and lay down. There is money to report the military situation, and it is more than usual!
Then report it again! As for the silver, he takes the lion's head, and those officials on the coast also share it somewhat, otherwise it will be troublesome to stab him in the basket.
A month later, Jing Haibo reported the military situation again, but this time he was more tactful, saying that under his rule, he had already punished a small number of pirates, but the pirate ships were strong and the ships of the Daqi Navy were not good.
When Emperor Su saw the setback, he was happy in his heart, this is a victory. Since Daqi hit him and ascended the throne, he has always pursued a policy of beating and fighting, and whoever is not satisfied will be killed!
If the bandits are not satisfied, they will do the pirates!
In order to allow Jing Haibo to continue to fight with the bandits, Emperor Su had to go to Concubine Xi's side to sleep for three days, exchange the dragon body for 300,000 snowflake silver, and give it to Jing Haibo, so that he could build a warship that was more awesome than the bandits, and also released bold words, as long as he could win, he would give as much silver as he could. Emperor Su, who refused to admit defeat in his bones, also bowed to the "essence" in order to win.
The first time he reported the military situation, in fact, Jing Haibo was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what punishment Emperor Su would give him, so the song was written extremely tactfully, and the ministers were repeatedly defeated. Master looked at it, no, uncle, it's better to change it to repeated defeats and battles, so as to reflect the indomitable spirit, isn't it a militant now? If you say that you lose every time you fight, his old man must be unhappy, but if you fight with others every time you lose, then maybe you will let go of your uncle.
When Jing Haibo heard this, this was the truth, so he trembled and handed the fold up, where did he know that the effect was so good!
When handing over the fold for the second time, Jing Haibo just wanted to find another reason to prevaricate, I can fight the small ones, I can't fight the big ones, other people's ships are powerful, my ships are in tatters, Your Majesty, I will take such a broken ship to the sea for you to fight, why do you have to throw a bone to touch my dog's head.
How do you know that the second fold was sent up, and it actually sent 300,000 snowflakes of silver down at once, this special thing is not a bone, this special thing is to send a cow down.
Jing Haibo saw a golden avenue of wealth in a trance.
His Majesty has said that as long as he can win, he will take care of the money.
So after two months, Jing Haibo went on another fold, Your Majesty, the minister here and the bandits are fighting to the death, you are fighting to the death, the ship has not been built, it was attacked by the pirates, and the casualties are heavy, but the minister adheres to His Majesty's teachings, and the pirates start a desperate fight, not to the death, not to the incompetence of the minister, but the opponent is too strong, although the minister lost the army, but still rose up to resist, so more than half of the casualties!
Well, this excerpt reported the numbers of the 5,000 sailors who had concealed and not reported their deaths, not only did they report it, but also created a roster, begged the court for mercy, and allowed him to recruit troops and horses along the coast.
It takes money to recruit troops! I'm all like this, the ship hasn't been built yet, so Your Majesty has to grit your teeth and give money.
So Emperor Su went to Concubine Xi's side again, this time squatting for five days, raising 500,000 taels of silver and sending it to Haiyang City.
It's just that this time, Emperor Su has begun to be a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Lao Tzu's five days of hard work! You kid give me some spirit, if you lose again, then replace someone! Emperor Su roared in the palace, but unfortunately Jing Haibo, who was in Haiyang City, couldn't hear it.
The 500,000 taels of silver were received without much effort, which made Jing Haibo overjoyed, and he not only deducted the pensions that should be paid to the dead soldiers, but also deducted the military expenses used to reorganize the new army.
Jing Haibo was constantly reaching out to the court to ask for money, and those bandits were not idle.
It turned out that he ran away after going ashore to rob and rob, and he was also a little afraid of the officers and soldiers of Daqi. Now, seeing that Jing Haibo closed the city gate and became a turtle with a shrunken head, their courage is getting bigger and bigger. Later, after the development of the landing, the robbery did not run, and some of the larger pirate leaders actually built stockades on the towns on the shore, strengthened the city walls, built docks, built ships, and established themselves as kings in the walled cities, and became the emperor of the soil, dividing the coastal areas and doing their own thing.
Although Jing Haibo covers his subordinates very well, and everyone makes money, there is a small county order below that is just Ling Ran jumped out.
He has repeatedly written to the prefect, and he is clear and powerful.
The prefect originally wanted to manage it, but he couldn't manage it, the army was in the hands of Jing Haibo, that was the prefect, he was the prefect!
So he wrote to the county magistrate many times, saying, "O Antai, just stop like your name." The pirates always have to be exterminated, at least until the ship is built.
Xiao Xian Ling saw that his boss was also helpless, so he was heartbroken, disguised himself, sneaked into the coastal towns with powerful bandits, and drew a picture of the bandits.
As a result, the small county ordered the division to die before he could get out, and when he sent out the bandit map, he was discovered by the bandits and was killed by an arrow, but the picture was still desperately snatched out by the kind people along the coast and given to the prefect.
The prefect is also a scholar with more backbone, Jing Haibo has repeatedly delayed, he is already dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart, but in that position, he has to maneuver one or two, and now his protégé, Xiaoxian Ling's death, touched him a lot.
The picture of the pirate city, although it was not finished, was already bloodstained.
The prefect is angry, the official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!
He picked up the black yarn and held it in his hand, explained the situation to his wife and children, and called it sick to the outside world. If he went to the capital like this, he would definitely be robbed and killed by Jing Haibo's people. The prefect was obviously a smart man, he went all the way to Beijing and stopped directly in front of King Zheng's carriage, holding his black gauze hat and the map of the bandit city that was stained with the small county order and hundreds of people.
He said that if he couldn't see His Majesty, and the people's feelings couldn't reach the heavens, he would crash to death on the street, let his blood spray on the land of Daqi, and he would not be an official for many years in vain!
His Royal Highness King Zheng was shocked and asked about the situation, so he immediately took the prefect into the palace.
Emperor Su was already suspicious of Jing Haibo, but now that the map of the pirate city brought by the prefect was presented to him, he was furious.
Damn, I actually pit Lao Tzu's money under the banner of war!
Dare to pit Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu wants your life.
But now Haiyang City is the last stronghold to fight against the bandits, so this matter cannot be publicized for the time being, fortunately, the carriage he stopped King Zheng was near King Zheng's mansion, and it was night, and there were no people on the street, so no one saw this matter, even if he saw it, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.
Emperor Su pulled among the generals of Daqi that night, and there were several generals who could fight, and it seemed that only Murong Qianqian was in the capital.
So with a stroke of the pen, he ordered the military department to expand the cavalry battalion, go to eastern Zhejiang to train for three months, and then go to suppress bandits.
Emperor Su is not a fool, he has fought for so many years, he naturally knows the difference between land warfare and water warfare, the Xiaocai battalion is almost all northerners, it can be said that it is a battalion of landlubbers, you drive people to the sea without any preparation, isn't it light candles in the thatched house, looking for SH? to estimate the bar.
At the same time, Emperor Su issued another edict, and allocated a batch of silver to Jing Haibo to appease, the consciousness is that you kid continue to look at the gate for Lao Tzu first, Lao Tzu will feed you some bones first, and when Murong Qianqian goes, Lao Tzu will ask you to spit out even the bone scum to Lao Tzu!
