In order to replenish the strength of the cavalry battalion, Ling Jingyang found the Wen family in private and asked if the Wen family had the ability to get horses in Shanxi?

Since the head of the Wen family got the grain and salt trade, all the external affairs of the family are in charge of Wen Bu Di, Wen Bu Di quietly said to Ling Jingyang that the Wen family has acquaintances in Datong Mansion and also knows some rebel generals.

Wen Bu's words really frightened Ling Jingyang, the Wen family still had this relationship, Wen Bu thought that Ling Jingyang said that he had an inextricable relationship with the rebels, and hurriedly said: "Captain, the Wen family is just in the business field, spending some money to get through some rebel generals, and there is no substantive interaction with the rebels." ”

"Wenbu question, your Wen family's hands and eyes are all over the sky."

Ling Jingyang verbally scolded Wen Bu Question, but his heart was comfortable, he had a very clear understanding of the general trend of the world, what cannot be solved politically can be solved by the military, and things that cannot be solved militarily can be solved in another way, such as silver, anti-intermittent, etc., can have unexpected effects.

He and Wen Bu continued: "Which officials and generals do you know in Datong Mansion? ”

The interests of the Wen family have been tightly tied to Shiying, and the Wen Bu topic has also been opened, and Ling Jingyang talked about family secrets, the Wen family and the county of Wei County are familiar with each other, once in order to give the Wen family caravan rest and protection in Wei County, the Wen family sent 1,000 taels of silver to the county of Wei County, and also sent native products and silver during the New Year's holidays.

When Ling Jingyang heard the words Wei County, he immediately thought of Li Daoli, a month ago he asked Li Daoli to go to Ulzhou, Shanxi, just to let Li Daoli make a good front stop in Shanxi.

Li Daoli has a friend who served as a middle-level general in Ulzhou, and I don't know if Li Daoli and his friend survived Jiang Jiu's rebellion.

"Wenbu question, Captain Bendu gives you a task, if you can complete it, the children of the Wen family can be in Wei County in the future."

The Ming Dynasty had a strict household registration system, and the family was in business, and the children could not take the imperial examination, nor could they donate to buy officials.

Although decades ago, buying and selling officials was no longer a forbidden area, and the Wen family also had a war general, but in the local government, the Wen family did not make any achievements, precisely because there were no family children in the officialdom, they earned a lot of silver in the past few decades, and they were also extorted by the government.

Suddenly heard Ling Jingyang say that the children of the Wen family can be in Wei County, Wen Bu was so excited that he almost jumped up, he and Ling Jingyang said: "General Ling, your kindness to the Wen family will never forget, you let me go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I am willing." ”

"Then you go to Wei County, help me find someone, and sell some horses from Ulzhou and other places, if you do it well, the Wen family will be my right-hand man, if you can't do it, I won't blame you, but you have to come back alive."

Wen Budi gritted his teeth, he did have a good relationship with the county Cheng in Wei County, and he personally sent the 1,000 taels of silver, thinking of this, he and Ling Jingyang issued a military order, If he doesn't complete the task, he won't come back in Wei County.

Ling Jingyang also knew that this task was very arduous, and the horses were better, but Li Daoli was like fishing for sand in the sea, and Wen Bu didn't know Li Daoli.

In the army, there are not many people who have met Li Daoli, and Lao Mantou and Dong Daqi are definitely the people who have seen the most times, Dong Daqi serves as a garrison in Tiancheng County, responsible for the training of new recruits.

Only the old steamed bun is suitable for this task, and the old steamed bun is not willing to mess around in the logistics baggage camp, Ling Jingyang asked him and Wen Bu to go to Wei County, and inquire about Li Daoli's whereabouts in Wei County, if Wei County does not have it, he will inquire about Li Daoli in the entire Ulzhou.

If there is no news of Li Daoli, Li Daoli is very likely to die in the Datong Mutiny, and Wen Budi and Lao Mantou gave up this task and decisively withdrew.

After the old steamed bun leader received the task, he was a little disappointed, but he wanted to go to the battlefield to pick up the big blade again, and let him and Wen Budi go to Wei County to buy horses, isn't this overkill?

Fortunately, there is also a task to inquire about Li Daoli's whereabouts, this task is a bit challenging, and he also went to this task, and after dressing up with Wen Budi, he went to the direction of Wei County.

After they left, Ling Jingyang came to Leng Rutie's army, and Leng Rutie's subordinates suffered heavy losses in the battle of attacking Tianchengwei and were resting in the city.

Leng Rutie himself was also slightly injured, lying in the barracks, drinking tea, watching the veterans training the recruits, seeing Ling Jingyang coming, he quickly stood up, and Ling Jingyang asked him to continue lying down.

He really continued to lie down, Ling Jingyang didn't care about these hypocritical things, and asked how Leng Rutie's injury was?

Ling Rutie waved his arm, indicating that the recovery was okay. Ling Jingyang was not polite to him, and told him that Tianchengwei would not have a large-scale war in the future for a period of time, and the top priority was to back up the rear camp and give blood transfusion to the rear camp, so that the logistics would face the Qing army in the east, and the stone camp would not have to fight with the Qing army head-on.

Leng Rutie agrees with Ling Jingyang's point of view very much, and also understands Ling Jingyang's thoughts, he doesn't need Ling Jingyang to speak, and Ling Jingyang asks for help, and is willing to lead troops to support the rear camp and fight with the Qing army.

Ling Rutie not only asked for battle, but also talked to Ling Jingyang about the truth that if the rear camp could not withstand the attack of the Qing army, the stone camp would not last long in Tianchengwei.

He thought that his support for the rear camp was like fighting a fire, and he needed to mobilize a reinforcement with sufficient gold content to support the rear camp of Xuanfu Town.

Ling Jingyang did not agree to Leng Rutie's plan to strengthen support for the rear camp, he asked Leng Rutie to support the rear camp, just to make a show, and the main purpose was to have a good relationship with Li Guo.

thought that in his impression, the Qing army's Hongyi cannon was about to arrive on the battlefield, this kind of big killing weapon was the first heavy weapon on the battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty, and there was no city wall that the Hongyi cannon could not open.

The Qing army has been in the customs for more than a month, and has transferred Hongyi cannons from outside the customs, and under the bombardment of Hongyi cannons, the city wall of Xuanfu Town is like a tofu block, turning into powder every minute.

This time Leng Rutie is confused, how can you support, and you are unwilling to make great efforts to support, it is better not to support?

"Our Shiying army is less than 4,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 people who need protection, you take half of the army to Xuanfu Town, who will garrison Tianchengwei?"

Leng Rutie was silent, and Ling Jingyang said again: "If the reinforcements go to Xuanfu Town and are eaten by the Qing army, the remaining soldiers and civilians in the Shiying camp in Tianchengwei will be fish and meat, and they will be slaughtered."

"Duwei, what you said is reasonable, but I still think that Xuanfu Town is more important than Tianchengwei here."

"Cold as iron, you don't think that the rear camp and the stone camp can block the Qing army's attack, our army is in Yongping Mansion, and Miyun Town is not fighting against the Qing army, have you seen the Qing army dispatch artillery units?"

This time let Leng Rutie calm down, and fought with the Qing army along the way, fighting the second-line troops of the Qing army, it seems that the main force of the Qing army is almost pursuing the main force of the Dashun army, and it is not fighting with the artillery of the Qing army, but it destroyed a batch of baggage of the Qing army in Yongping Mansion, and there are dozens of artillery pieces in it.

It is impossible for the Qing army to be smashed dozens of fires, and it will be greatly damaged, perhaps more artillery has been transferred from outside the pass to support the battlefield in the pass, if that is the case, even if the stone camp is full of all its strength, and the rear camp to defend Xuanfu Town, it will not be able to withstand the heavy artillery bombardment of the Qing army, after the city wall is penetrated, the city wall will be lost, and the rear camp and the stone camp will be completely annihilated by the Qing army.

The soldiers in the barracks are still practicing, and the veterans are training the recruits very happily, as if this can bring them fun, Ling Jingyang looked at the recruits, and said to Leng Rutie: "These soldiers are very brave, but in front of the Hongyi cannon, they can't withstand the fierce bombardment." ”

"My lord means, let's make a show and let the rear camp be defeated by the Qing army?"

"The failure of the rear camp is inevitable, and General Li will not be stupid enough to fight the Qing army in Xuanfu Town, they are defending Xuanfu Town, which is to open up space for the battlefields in Shanxi and Henan, so that His Majesty can lead the troops and wander with the Qing army in the Central Plains, instead of fighting hard with the Qing army."

Leng Rutie understood a little, and he also felt that he was too mother-in-law, and the generals of the rear camp were not inferior to him, so they must have already had a way to deal with it.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that before Gao Yigong left, he gave Ling Jingyang 500 soldiers, could these 500 soldiers be a meeting gift to Shiying after the rear camp could not hold on to Xuanfu Town and withdrew to Tianchengwei.

Ling Jingyang showed a mysterious smile, and said to Leng Rutie: "Speaking of which, my stone battalion is still insufficient, if there are millions of soldiers and horses, even if this Qing army has a thousand Hongyi cannons, we don't have to be afraid." ”

Both of them understood that the strength of the stone camp was still too small, too small to affect any battlefield, and the high mountain guard and Yang He Wei in front of them, the stone camp would not have the ability to gnaw down.

Not only can it not be attacked, but it is also necessary to beware of the sneak attack of the rebels in these two places, Shiying has a foothold in Shanxi, but it is also tied by the Shanxi rebels, and it cannot let go of its hands and feet to attack the city and conquer the territory, to manage a territory.

After the two agreed on their opinions, Leng Rutie and Ling Jingyang reported on the current situation of their subordinates, and there were still about 200 soldiers who could go out of the city to fight, and the remaining dozens of wounded soldiers would be left to be seriously injured.

"You continue to rest in the city, and in three days you will leave for Xuanfu Town to support General Li."

Ling Jingyang not only had to have a good relationship with the rear camp, but also made a show to Gao Shanwei and Yang Hewei's rebels, so that Leng Rutie led two hundred soldiers and more than a thousand people out of the city during the day.

At night, the people were sent back, and the rebels made the illusion that the main force of the stone camp supported Xuanfu Town, and the rebels in the two places would attack Tianchengwei again, and use the strength of the stone camp to make the rebels hit their heads and bleed under the city, and lose their vitality.

Leng Rutie nodded again and again, Ling Jingyang also talked to him, let a thousand people change into armor, carry weapons together, and put Leng Rutie in his heart one by one.

After Ling Jingyang assigned Leng Rutie a task, he rushed to the logistics baggage camp non-stop.

Lao Mantou and Wen Bu went to Wei County to carry out tasks, and he was unwilling to continue to fight in the logistics baggage camp, so Ling Jingyang appointed a new leader in the logistics baggage to help him support the lifeblood of the stone camp.

He took his own soldiers to work hard in the heavy battalion, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians in the logistics baggage, including more than 400 people directly under Ling Jingyang, and the rest were ordinary people.

There are some scholars in the logistics baggage battalion, and there are also a few lifters, because there is no one in the court, they have been backing up since they became lifters, and they enjoy the treatment of lifters, but they have not been granted official positions, and these people are forced to stay at home.

When the Dashun army came, they hated the Ming Dynasty for not being angry, and scolded the warriors for being shameless, but they secretly welcomed the Dashun army as the new emperor, and wanted to mix a half-official position in the Dashun court, who would have thought that the Dashun army would be defeated and withdraw from the capital so quickly, and also retreated with Shiying.

Mi Shengguang loves these people, he used to be a businessman, and he is especially envious of these scholars who have taken the merit test, thinking that they have the ability to work with him and make Tiancheng County beautiful.

But Ling Jingyang didn't think so, these people were high-level intellectuals in the feudal era, and in his eyes, they were a group of stubborn forces, and letting them mix into Shiying would only make Shiying a small Ming Dynasty court.

He held Mi Shengguang with a gloomy face Mi Shengguang thought that Ling Jingyang wanted to praise him, so he came to Ling Jingyang with a proud face, Ling Jingyang smiled and said to him: "Mi Zhixian, come with me." ”

The two came to Mi Shengguang's mansion in the city, and Ling Jingyang asked his soldiers to close the door, and Mi Shengguang was a little confused.

In the next second, Ling Jingyang slapped him over, and Mi Shengguang's brain melon seeds buzzed.
