Chapter 291: Shizhu and Youyang send reinforcements
Let the Shizhu Tusi army prepare to march into Chongqing, and hurry up, it is estimated that it will be at least one day slower.
The Youyang army marched to the Zunyi Military and Civil Mansion, and according to the distance, it was estimated that it might reach Zunyi with the Yongning Tusi soldiers, and it would not be delayed.
The county order of Wanxian County is very powerful, the grain ships have long been prepared, and the big ships and small boats are complete. The Hunhe army all used large boats, and the Shennong army all took small boats. The boat was fast, and the Shennong Army was the vanguard.
Because it was against the current, rowing was tiring, the boatmen had to work in shifts, and they had to be strong young men.
Anyone who has been on the waterway for a long time knows that the young man falls asleep when he is full of food and drink, and soon falls asleep, while the middle-aged boatman is almost dead, they are more tired than the young man, but they fall asleep much slower than they do.
Although young people sleep for a long time, they can enter a deep sleep, and they will naturally rest well and recover their physical strength quickly.
Even if middle-aged people fall asleep, they often can't sleep well. Bumps and shaking, waterfowl chirping, ape calls can all affect the quality of their sleep.
Besides, the stone pillar toast has been preparing for a long time, so it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Shizhu Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi had already made preparations according to the plan, and after receiving Wang Hongyu's flying pigeon message, they immediately set off for Chongqing with 3,000 troops.
At this time, Qin Liangyu was still rushing back on the Yangtze River, but he had already discussed the meeting place in the letter.
However, it was said that Youyang Tusi Ran Yuelong received a letter from Wang Hongyu from Wanxian County, asking Youyang Tusi to send troops to Zunyi, which made him difficult, that is, the problem of grain transportation.
Youyang to Zunyi is all mountainous, and it is also separated by provinces, Youyang is not short of grain, but transportation is a big problem.
During this time, Ran Yuelong made full preparations, and when Qin Minping came to Youyang two months ago, it was set that Youyang would send 800 soldiers, which meant elite soldiers.
I didn't know much about it before, because in the past, the gap between the forces of the two Tusi of Youyang and Yongning was not large.
At that time, Yongning had 10,000 soldiers, and Youyang had 8,000 soldiers; Compared with Yongning's soldiers, Youyang's soldiers have a worse individual combat ability than Yongning's soldiers.
Later, Youyang lost 5,000 main forces in Liaodong at one time, and later trained 2,000, and this year brought 3,000 to Liaodong.
That is to say, when Qin Minping came two months ago, there were only 2,000 veterans left, and the third son took 800 to join the Hunhe Army, and promised Wang Hongyu that when he put down the rebellion, he could also give 800 and leave 400 to protect his family.
In fact, Youyang still has 7,000 Tuntian soldiers, and their combat power is much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty's guards.
For Yongning to increase 30,000 soldiers over the years, Ran Yuelong always felt incredible, according to the economic strength of Yongning is stronger than Youyang, but the strength is limited.
Yongning has been working hard all these years, bribing officials, pulling connections, and sending out personnel who don't need money, where do they get the money?
So, Ran Yuelong personally went to the stone pillar and found that Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi were stepping up military training.
I saw that there were more than 3,000 native soldiers wearing cotton armor who were training very energetically, and they were very decent, and after looking at it for a while, they found that their health was much worse than those strong armies in the past.
At this time, Zhang Fengyi, who was wearing a white filial piety suit, ran over, stepped forward and hugged Ran Yuelong, "Wow~~" and cried.
Ran Yuelong patted Zhang Fengyi's back and comforted: "Good girl! Be strong and train well. Marquis Dingyuan will take us to Liaodong after the autumn of next year to avenge Brother Zhang and the veterans of the Southern Army! ”
After returning to Youyang, Ran Yuelong began a large-scale military training.
The soldiers of the two places lost a lot, and the remaining soldiers and horses were obviously not as good as before, which was also one of the reasons why the famous white pole soldiers and Tusi soldiers were able to beat Nurha's heart for more than a quarter in the early stage, but they could not take Zhang Xianzhong's main force in the later stage.
However, with Wang Hongyu's support and cooperation in the industry, they will soon be able to pay dividends from the joint-stock company.
If you have a property, you can buy food for the surrounding area, and you can re-raise elite professional soldiers.
At this time, this army was not so strong, but it was enough to defeat the luxury and An families.
Youyang raised 5,000 troops, led by Zhu Ran Yuelong himself, and led the soldiers and Tuntian soldiers to march to Zunyi.
Ran Yuelong wrote a brief letter to Wang Hongyu with a flying pigeon biography, to the effect that Youyang could send 7,000 troops, because the road was mostly mountains and rivers, and transporting food for 5,000 troops was already the limit of Youyang, so I was really sorry.
Wang Hongyu quickly sent a letter to Youyang, although he could not get supplies from the civil officials of Zunyi at this time, but he would provide them soon.
The people who followed Wang Hongyu's Guizhou Nangao Academy and Wang Xuelongchang quickly began to move, and before the Youyang Tusi soldiers entered Guizhou, Ran Yuelong received the news:
According to the march route provided by Youyang, the Ming officials in the towns where the army passed through had already stockpiled food and daily necessities, and they could receive it as they went.
Wang Hongyu also contacted the governor Cai Fuyi and contacted Cai Fuyi to prepare the town soldiers of Huguang.
Wang Hongyu led the army to hurry, and the forward had reached within 100 miles of Chongqing.
......
When he transferred troops and horses from all over the country and approached within 100 miles of Chongqing, Fan Long and Fan Hu, the generals of the Ming Dynasty, had already arrived in Chongqing with an army of 10,000.
They deliberately let the old, weak, sick and disabled and child soldiers stand on the periphery of the ranks, disheveled, talking and laughing, and looking no threat at all.
The number of people was so much higher than the 3,000 requested by Governor Xu Keqiu, which at first made the officials gathered here a little worried, especially a few military generals.
But when I heard the announcement, it was said that these 10,000 people looked like they were called Huazi, and many soldiers and horses looked like they were mixed rice, and the civil and military forces instantly felt that there was no problem.
The generals knew that this was a common method of eating empty quotas and cheating military salaries.
The actual number of people in the army was only half of the roster, and when they asked for food and rewards, they brought in many old, weak, sick and disabled people, and the number was much larger than the roster.
Isn't it just to cheat money~
The general's heart instantly relaxed, and he wanted to see the humiliating appearance of the civil official.
What kind of luxury family is loyal and righteous, and the luxury family went north to aid Liao, but it was just a cheating and drinking like me.
This time, I see the civil officials making a fool~
Of course, Xu Keqiu felt ashamed.
Daochen and the people of the following prefectures and counties also said good things for the luxury family......
What a system!
He didn't accept bribes from the luxury family, but he couldn't stand the people around him from taking too much. Although he has reacted now, he can only comply with the wishes of the luxury family, and there is no other way to deal with it.
Li Da, a subordinate of the governor's yamen, didn't know how many times he had received the silver, and at this time he helped the luxury family to speak: "My lord, the luxury family's aid to Liao must be sincere, but Yongning is poor and narrow, so the soldiers and horses will be ragged."
"That's right, so they should be rewarded for responding to the call of the imperial court."
"That's right, the luxury family is so poor that they have sent so many soldiers, so that those generals are embarrassed by comparison."
"That being the case, we should reward the extravagant......
These officials who took the money from the luxury family still have words on their mouths, and the lotus flower with their tongues speaks of the luxury family as extremely loyal.

Xu Keqiu's forehead was bulging.
