Chapter 211 Molars

The sunset will reflect the dancing water in a golden light.

At this moment, Lord Wang Ershan has arrived in Yuanzhou (now Zhijiang, Hunan), and is writing hard against the sunset in the official post of Linjiang: "When the minister hears the report of Qian, he hates to fly across Guiyang...... This is the twenty-second letter written by Lord Wang to the imperial court, and it is also the seventh letter after arriving in Yuanzhou.

On the way to Guizhou, Wang Ershan wore the stars and the moon day and night, and everywhere he went, he would write a report on his behavior and express his determination to ask the stagecoach to send it to Beijing - Lord Wang, who came out of the nest of right and wrong, knew too well the ability of those guys in the court to make trouble, but he had to plug their mouths in advance! Otherwise, don't ask, if you leave with your front foot, someone will swear to tell you where to drink flower wine and "linger" every three or few days!

However, when the wind and dust arrived in Yuanzhou, Guizhou was close at hand, but Lord Wang changed his normal state and stayed directly in the official post and did not leave.

Wang Ershan's approach is too right. Because except for the official seal hanging on his waist, Lord Wang has nothing empty-handed! Just go to Guizhou and send someone to An Bangyan? The orders of the imperial court were no less than those of Lord Wang, one after another, urging him to go to Guiyang immediately to relieve the siege. As for how even the family members and servants counted Lord Wang himself, a total of more than a dozen, how to relieve the siege of Guiyang, which was besieged by a 100,000-strong army, hehe, the court didn't care.

So Wang Ershan stayed in Yuanzhou, and grinded his teeth back and forth with Jingshi to fight paper lawsuits: asking for people, food, and money. It doesn't matter if the court has difficulties, we understand, and understand, can't I find a way by myself? But you'll have to wait a while for me to go from village to village to recruit troops! Oh, by the way, I'm the governor of Guizhou, this is Huguang, I can't manage it, you see, I don't live in the yamen to live in the post station. Recruiting troops and conscripting food here, the court has to say hello to those bigwigs here......

Objectively speaking, like Li Jingwu, Lord Wang is a good official. However, unlike Lord Li, who has always been a foreign official, Lord Wang, who comes from the center of the imperial court, is more familiar with the rules of the game of the Ming Dynasty: at this time, if you don't ask the imperial court for something, after stepping into Guizhou, well, there is a high probability that you will never have a chance to ask for it again!

Everyone in the court knew that Wang Ershan was telling the truth, and he was really forced to be anxious, and the next letter was to "suddenly contract a vicious disease" and go home to rest on sick leave, whoever was the most noisy at this time might have to be arrested and come over to the top of the tank! Therefore, after the exchange of letters and letters a few times, the direction of the wind in the court changed again, and many people began to help Wang Ershan speak, and they helped him ask for soldiers and food.

For the imperial court, soldiers and money and food were not a problem.

The problem is no.

After four or five months of grinding, he finally transferred 10,000 people to Wang Ershan from all over the country, and also collected more than 30,000 taels of silver, and as for the grain, it was only a few thousand stones-don't forget, Guan Shengyun has mixed up in Huguang with the help of Luo Yonghao's father and son, and they can't help but see jokes. If it weren't for the too much pressure from the imperial court, Kou Shiyi and Li Linyang would have to deal with it, and Wang Ershan wouldn't even be able to get this bit of money and grain! However, the soldiers were too good to eat, and the food was eaten as they were recruited, and they never saved much. is about to go to the battlefield to fight with the traitors, Lord Wang will not dare to sew the mouths of these guys no matter how much he saves, and it is not unheard of for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to mutiniate collectively because they are hungry! Therefore, Wang Ershan was torn off by the word "grain", and he couldn't pull out his feet.

In addition to arguing with the imperial court, Wang Ershan went to Wuzhai Division to find Tian Baisheng again. When it comes to the kung fu of the mouth, how can Tian Baisheng be Lord Wang's opponent? scolded the officials of Guiyang for not serving as a corpse vegetarian meal, grieving for the unfair treatment suffered by the town's soldiers, loudly saying that the Lord would never allow similar incidents to happen again, patting his chest to ensure that the court would not forget the loyalty and bravery of Tian Xuan's consolation envoy, and swearing impassionedly that the villain dared to mention that the Wuzhai Division was here to change the land and return to the stream, and the Lord Ben would not die (in fact, no one mentioned it at all, the court had already acquiesced that the Tian family, who had made great contributions during the Taizu period and changed the Han surname, was most of the Han officials), Full of affection, as if he had experienced it himself, he recalled the strong relationship between the ancestors of the Tian family and the Ming Empire with blood, and finally asked the deputy marshal Tian what he would like to see his grandfather and the ancestors of the Tian family when he came underground...... A set of smooth combination tongue fists came down, and Tian Baisheng, who was full of grievances, resentment and anger, found himself shedding tears of remorse: After Lord Wang's careful enlightenment, he realized that the inner ego was such a snob who couldn't stand the slightest grievance! In the end, Tian Baisheng knelt at the feet of Lord Wang and said from the bottom of his heart: If there is a war, the recruitment will come, but the Lord is the first to look forward, and he should be rewarded with death!

In the future, Tian Baisheng's town soldiers made great achievements again. That's an afterword.

In the past few months that Wang Ershan has spent in Yuanzhou, the city of Guiyang has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Li Jingwu is still worried. However, what he was worried about was different from when An Bangyan had just besieged the city: at that time, he was worried that there were too few defenders and he was afraid that he would not be able to defend the city; Now, he was worried that there were a lot of defenders...... In the end, I still can't hold the city!

Why did the defenders suddenly become more numerous? Why can't you hold the city if there are many defenders?

Let's leave the second question for later, let's talk about the first one: why are there so many defenders?

There are more defenders because Marshal Zhang Fang and General Huang Yunqing led the army over!

Hey, isn't Guiyang surrounded by An Bangyan like an iron bucket: Luxury Chongming and his son took their Yongning army back to Chishuiwei to contact the old department and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Sichuan, and the tens of thousands of Shuixi troops have returned to An Bangyan to join the besieging army at this time, and the troops are even stronger, how could they be killed by these two into the siege?

According to the good news of General Zhang Huang to the imperial court, he was brave after shame, I was invincible, and I would not retreat from the battle, and the whole army went forward one after another to cut down the Miao thieves to the point of fear, and finally broke through the siege and entered the city - General Huang Shen was also promoted to deputy general with this great achievement.

Really?

Of course it's fake,.

So what's going on?

Hehe, Zhang Dashuai and they don't know it themselves.

I really don't know.

The last time the army was defeated, Zhang Fangxiao wrote letters and cried grievances in Zunyi when he asked his master to play with his life, except for not finding Wang Ershan, several other letters soon had a reply:

Master Li Jingwu of Guiyang replied to him and asked him to hurry up and make a detour, and it is not necessarily necessary to go to Guiyang, it is best to defeat An Bangyan's main force in a field battle, and the siege of Guiyang will be relieved, otherwise, as long as he can break An Bangyan's encirclement and open up a safe material transportation line for Guiyang. At the end, Master Li euphemistically reminded Zhang Dashuai: If the army does not fight, the court has a law.

Hearing that the master read the letter, Zhang Dashuai not only didn't take it seriously at all, but was also very angry: Defeat the main force of the thieves in the field? Open a traffic line? To put it lightly! I Lao Zhang only has three battalions in total, and it would be good if more than 1,000 people could hold Zunyi. Master Li, you are really a scholar, you don't know anything about soldiers at all! Well, the marshal apparently forgot that he himself had cut off three of the eight fully staffed barracks.

In addition, Li Jingwu is theoretically already a retired official, so Zhang Dashuai didn't pay attention to him at all.

Master Li still doesn't know about military generals. However, the masters of the imperial court military department deal with these guys all day long, and they know too well how to speak before they can understand. Zhang Dashuai received a much more direct reply from the imperial court later: Lost? Don't you have more than 10,000 people registered in the roster! So many people have lost, it's time to kill them, right? Guiyang is still Lord Li presiding over the work, and he has Shang Fang's sword in his hand! Less nonsense, Guiyang lost your whole family! Oh yes, if you can't enter Guiyang by April, you don't have to wait for Lord Li, the court will cut your whole family immediately. Close your beak and get out!

This time, Zhang Dashuai not only understood, but also pondered the taste, and was afraid: Yes, although there are only five or six hundred soldiers under his command, he asks the court for money and food from time to time, and the words are clear and clear, and every time he asks for more than 10,000 people with tears in his eyes! Not to mention that the provincial government will definitely engage in military law, such a big hole, if it is known by the imperial court, it will definitely not survive! What can I do?

was hammering his chest and regretting it, Huang Yunqing arrived.

Zhang Dashuai called General Huang Shen to join the army, in fact, the idea in his stomach was to ask him to help him defend Zunyi - although the generals of the Ming Dynasty only talked about military exploits and had no responsibility to defend the territory, but after pacifying the Yang Rebellion in Banzhou, a large area of land around Zunyi seemed to have become Zhang Fang's private property.

Huang Yunqing didn't have many troops in Tongren, so he was ordered to relieve the siege of Guiyang this time, and he also wanted to get a piece of land for himself in Shuixi. However, the official position is only a general, and the soldiers under him are not too many and their strength is limited, so they want to make a break and then use the power of Zhang Dashuai. On the way, I met Zhang Fang's military envoy and knew that the marshal had just been beaten by a luxury thief, and this was over: it was definitely not possible to return to Tongren, and it was a 100% capital crime to flee without a fight for fear of the enemy, so I could only go to Zunyi first and join forces with Zhang Fang. General Huang Shen pondered for a while and was happy: If he was beaten by a thief at that time, hehe, there was a commander in chief and a thunderbolt on it, and we would be fine!

So he followed the military envoy and came to Zunyi.

When Zunyi saw Zhang Fang, General Huang Shen was also dumbfounded: his name was also on the orders of the imperial court - the adults of the Daring Military Department had long expected that these two would go together!

Awesome! If you don't accept it, you can't.

If you can't get to Guiyang in April, you will be killed, so you have to resign yourself to taking one step at a time. Of course, Zhang and Huang Erjiang did not dare to take the road of Yanglongkeng, so they first went east to Wengshui, and then passed through Caotang, Huangping, Pingyue, and Longli, and made a big circle and approached Guiyang.

The march was more than twice as farther, and it took more than twice as long, did An Bangyan know that they were coming?

Of course I do.

Not only did they know, but they were deliberately let in.

Wengshui, Caotang, and Huangping were originally appeased divisions*, and the imperial court realized the land reform and return to the stream one step earlier, and fifteen forts in that area were combined to set up Weng'an County, which was subordinate to the Pingyue Military and Civil Government of Guizhou Buzheng Division. Can the original leaders be willing? Because the strength is too weak, on the surface, you can only accept it. This time An Bangyan's army, everyone can be regarded as a blessing in disguise - people have been robbed of the position of local officials by the imperial court, of course, there is no way to transfer troops to help you "quell the chaos"! One by one, they are clearly staying out of the matter, and secretly they are all fornicating money and reporting information. Therefore, Zhang and Huang have gone around in such a big circle, if An Bangyan wants to stop them, let alone once, three or five times is more than enough. The Shuixi spies who were lying in the mountains looked at the scouts in front of the army and carefully did not let go of the reconnaissance of a single grass and tree (the lesson of the dragon pit is too profound), and they were all anxious for them in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to jump out and shout: There is nothing ahead, you should hurry up......

However, King An still let them enter Guiyang City from the south gate safely without danger or danger.

Because An Bangyan wants to play a big game of chess.

*Knowledge points in this article: Propaganda Division, Propaganda Division, Pacification Division and Chief Lawsuit.

Common points: Except for the pacification department (some of the pacification directors are appointed by the central government and belong to the liuguan), the rest are all management institutions set up by the Ming Dynasty in ethnic minority areas, all of them are hereditary local officials, and they all have Zuo Erguan (Han deputy position, liuguan) "assisting in the work" (well, supervision), and the main post is appointed by the Ministry of War because they have the right to be generals, and their assistant officials are civilian officials, and they are recommended by the Ministry of Officials and appointed jointly with the Ministry of War.

Distinguish:

The chief of the Propaganda Department is called the Propaganda Envoy, the Propaganda and Pacification Division is called the Propaganda Envoy, the Pacification Division is called the Pacification Envoy, and the Chief Lawsuit is directly called the Chief.

The official rank of the Xuanfu envoy is from the third rank (higher than the prefect's fourth rank), the Xuanfu envoy is from the fourth rank, the pacification envoy is from the fifth rank, and the chief official is the sixth rank.

Although the official ranks are different, they have no direct subordinate relationship with each other, and they are not subordinate to each other. Taking the Xuanfu envoy and the Xuanfu envoy as an example, the superiors at the administrative level are the political envoys and the military superiors, the Xuanfu envoys are the commanders of the capital, and the Xuanfu envoys are the commanders of the guards. Of course, this is theoretically - the Ming Dynasty used literature and military power, especially in the later period, the guard station was almost non-existent, in fact, there were governors, everyone had to listen to the governor, and no governor had to listen to the political envoys.

All in all, in short, the powerful big toast is the Xuanfu envoy, the strength is almost the Xuanfu envoy, the court has the opportunity to set up a pacification envoy to eat you, and the township level means that the imperial court still respects the ethnic minorities very much.
