Strictly speaking, the speed of the wind army going north is not fast, at least it is far from being lightning fast, even if the front army is lightly armed, the speed of advance is relatively slow, because the front army has to wait for the main force of the rear army to follow up.

Behind the front army of less than 100,000, there is still a main army of 150,000, in the main army, but there are a large number of artillery, regardless of whether the wind army still has sufficient ammunition, in short, the wind army has not dropped the artillery in the army.

During this period when the Feng army went north, it left enough time for Ningnan to move the capital, but Guanyu's opinion that the real goal of the Feng army was Tianjing was not supported by most of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the most critical point was that the eldest grandson Bohao did not support such remarks.

The total strength of the front and rear armies of the Wind Army is close to 250,000 Yes, but it is also true that the ammunition is insufficient, and the 13th Army successfully destroyed the ammunition depot of the Wind Army, which is not a forged record, but a real battle achievement.

An army with insufficient ammunition, no matter how many troops it has, on the battlefield of firearms, it is at best a large group of human targets, how can it be possible to attack Tianjing, which is personally commanded by the emperor and garrisoned by 200,000 elite soldiers?

In the court, the eldest grandson Bohao asked Zhang Jiuwei: "Zhang Aiqing, in your opinion, how to crack the current wind army going north?"

Zhang Jiuwei smiled and said: "According to Weichen, the current Feng Army, knowing that ammunition, food and grass are insufficient, still rashly went deep alone, all the way north, which is really a manifestation of losing his mind, and it is also a cruel poison to the 13th Army.

"Actually, this is also very understandable, the Thirteenth Army is the weakest Central Army Legion in our country, and the Wind Army has suffered a big loss in the hands of the Thirteenth Army this time, which is a great shame and humiliation, how can the Wind Army be willing to give up?

"Your Majesty has two ways to deal with this wind army going north, first, recall the soldiers who fought in the city-state of Volo and return to Beijing to defend, but in this way, it is equivalent to abandoning the city-state of Volo, which will chill the allies who are secretly allied with our country, and also greatly damage the majesty of our country. ”

The eldest grandson Bohao listened carefully, nodded while listening, and felt that what Zhang Jiuwei said was reasonable, and it was indeed not the best strategy to recall the soldiers who fought in the city-state of Woluo back to the capital. He asked, "What is the second method that Master Zhang said?"

Zhang Jiuwei smiled and said: "Once again, the national conscription order will be issued, new soldiers will be recruited, and our country's damaged army will be rebuilt." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice: "How long does it take to recruit new soldiers, train new soldiers, redistribute new soldiers, and rebuild the legion?

Zhang Jiuwei seemed to have expected that someone would raise such a question, and he said with a smile: "Then, in the opinion of Lord Guan, can this lone wind army going north be able to defeat the capital within a year and a half? Is the capital of our country, with 200,000 elite soldiers, so vulnerable?"

Guanyu stared at Zhang Jiuwei for a long time, but finally did not speak.

In terms of combat power, the wind army going north does not seem to pose much of a threat to Tianjing, and the wind army chasing the thirteenth army all the way north does look very hasty, but he just can't feel at ease.

In other words, he has never underestimated the Feng Army, and he doesn't think that the Feng Army will be so angry that the Thirteenth Army will lose his mind, and the lonely army will go deep, and the Feng Army's actions must have a plan. But he has no evidence to prove his inference, and it is difficult to refute Zhang Jiuwei now.

When the argument between the two of them finally came to an end, the eldest grandson Bohao pondered for a long time and said: "Just do what Lord Zhang wants, and the imperial court will once again issue a national conscription order." ”

Minister of the Interior Li Zhen stepped out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, my country has successively promulgated three national conscription orders, judging from the number of recruits who have joined the army, the effect of the conscription orders is getting worse and worse...... It doesn't work well. ”

Zhang Jiuwei said: "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that it is still in the time of national disaster, Weichen thinks that an appropriate increase in military salaries can greatly enhance the enthusiasm of young and strong people to join the army!"

The Minister of Finance Leng Pei stepped out, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, two years of national war...... The treasury is empty, and if the military salaries are raised again, the treasury will be even more difficult to support!"

If it is only a two-year national war, Ningnan's financial resources can still support it, the key is that in two years, not only the national war broke out, but also the royal civil war, which consumed a lot of financial resources, and the country was beaten to the ground, and a hundred ruins are waiting to be revived.

The eldest grandson Bohao supported his forehead again and again, and he heard a headache, now that the imperial court has no soldiers available, it is normal to issue a national conscription order, why are there so many difficulties and so many problems?

His face was not very good-looking, his cold gaze fell on Leng Pei, and he said in a deep voice: "Now is the time for the country to employ people, and there is an urgent need for elite soldiers, and the deficit of the treasury is indeed a big problem, but Leng Aiqing, as the Minister of Finance, shouldn't he solve problems for me? If there is a problem, it will be pushed to me, so what is the use of me still wanting the Minister of Finance?"

His words frightened Leng Pei a lot, and the latter hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Your Majesty forgives you!"

"Get up, I'm not holding you accountable, I'm asking you to solve the problem!"

The eldest grandson Bohao waved his hand impatiently to Leng Pei and said: "The conscription order must be promulgated, and the salary of the recruits must also be raised, as for the predicament of the treasury, Leng Aiqing will try to find a way, as long as you have a solution, I will fully support you!"

"Your Majesty Xie!" Leng Pei kowtowed forward again and slowly stood up. His Majesty's words are very good, but let him think of a way, what can he think of?

The million-strong army was lost on the battlefield of Duki, and the pensions of millions of soldiers have not yet been paid, and now he has to spend a huge amount of money to recruit new soldiers, where will he go to make gold and silver?

Leng Pei secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, compared to the first emperor, this new emperor was too far behind.

After a series of urgent consultations, the Ningnan Imperial Court finally came up with the idea of promulgating a national conscription order.

But this is not a very good idea, but it is not too bad, and in the end it has only become a dead letter, because the current treasury of Ningnan cannot take out any silver at all.

When the country is in crisis, there are indeed people of insight, even if they do not have military salaries, they are willing to pay out of their own pockets, buy war horses, buy weapons and equipment by themselves, join the army to kill the enemy, and fight for the country, but such people have already gone to join the army, either died in front of the two armies, or continue to serve in the army.

The fourth national conscription order in Ningnan was promulgated, but there was no military salary at all, and there were few responders throughout the country.

Let's say that the Feng Army, after defeating the county guard Zhang Zhichong in Baisha County, drove straight in, all the way north, like a bamboo, it only took 20 days, tens of thousands of Feng Army soldiers broke through Baisha County, chased and killed the 13th Army all the way, and entered Tongxing County.

The wind army entered the territory of Tongxing County, and Tianjing really felt the approaching crisis.

The Ningnan Imperial Court sent a letter to the Thirteenth Army and issued a death order to Chastain, telling him not to lead the Thirteenth Army to retreat in the direction of Tianjing, either to stay in Tongxing County and fight the Feng army to the death, or to flee to the west and lead the Feng army to the west of the country.

Regarding the measures of the Ningnan Imperial Court, Shangguan Xiu and Meng Qiuchen have calculated.

Meng Qiuchen sent Guangfang and 20,000 soldiers to make a hurried march to Yancheng in the west of Tongxing County, which is the only way for Tongxing County to go west, if the Thirteenth Army wants to go west, it must go to Yancheng, and the soldiers of their own side can reach here first, so they can block the Thirteenth Army that is trying to go west, forcing it to continue to run north, and continue to cover for their own northward movement.

Shangguan Xiu went to Yancheng with Guangfang, Shangguan Xiu's current physical condition is not suitable for participating in the war, he came to Yancheng, not to fight and assist Guangfang, but to meet a person, the elder of Ningnan, Lu Zhiheng.

Lu Zhiheng is a veteran of the Three Dynasties in Ningnan, and he is also a highly respected and well-known scholar, and his poems, songs and articles are very famous in the country of Feng.

Even though he had already resigned and was idle at home, he was still given the title of the old man, which is not difficult to see how much Emperor Ningnan attached importance to this old pedant.

After the annexation of Ningnan by the Wind Country, if you want to live in Ningnan for a long time, you need the support of the great writers who stand at the top of Ningnan's academic circles, and Lu Zhiheng is undoubtedly one of the best candidates.

Lu Zhiheng's hometown is in Yancheng, and Guangfang was ordered by the military division to go to Yancheng to block the Thirteenth Army, and Shangguan Xiu also followed by the way, planning to invite Lu Zhiheng in person to show that he and the Wind Country attach importance to him.

On the way to Lu's house, Guangfang accompanied Shangguan Xiu, his mouth was not idle, and he said angrily: "A literati from Ningnan, and now he is a cloth cloth, why bother Brother Lao Xiu to come out in person? Explain me, and when I finish the battle, I will arrest him in front of Brother Xiu!"

Shangguan Xiu snorted and laughed, and said: "The literati are hypocritical, and most of them are pretentious and noble, and they boast of being extraordinary, if Fang is rude, I will catch this famous Mr. Lu in front of me, I am afraid that the old man would rather die than let go, or I will personally come to invite, and I have done enough courtesy, it is more secure." ”

Guangfang still shook his head again and again, and muttered: "What ability does Lu Zhiheng have? Can he be on the horse to level the world, or can he put pen to paper? I think Brother Xiu is doing this more!"

He was used to being casual in front of Shangguan Xiu, and he didn't pay much attention to proportions when he spoke, but Shangguan Xiu didn't mind, he smiled on his back, and patiently explained: "But he can write! Although there are many such literati and writers in my country, and even writers, they are not Ningnan people, only the articles written by Ningnan people can best conquer the hearts of Ningnan people!"

Guangfang didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and said: "What's the use of attacking the heart, if anyone dares to disagree, we will kill whoever directly, how straightforward!"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If the people in Ningnan are not convinced, can it be that Fang can still kill all the people in Ningnan?"

While speaking, the two of them had come to the door of the Lu family.

The Lu family is not in Yancheng City, but on the outskirts of Yancheng, a courtyard house located in the mountains and forests, which is not large.

When Shangguan Xiu, Guangfang and others arrived, there was a family member cleaning at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw a group of strangers riding a tall horse, the family seemed to be accustomed to this, and said without raising his head while sweeping the floor: "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, my master is not a guest!"

"Huh!" Guangfang snorted and said, "What a big breath!" As he spoke, he dismounted, and came to the gentleman's approach, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him to the ground.

The family was caught off guard, snorted in pain, and just got up from the ground, Guangfang kicked him in the crook of the knee, causing him to fall to his knees. Immediately afterwards, he pressed the shoulders of the family to make him unable to move, and said in a cold voice: "Stare your dog's eyes wide, see clearly who is coming! Dare to be rude in front of His Highness, I think you are tired and crooked!"
