Chapter 222 advances all the way
Xia Jing avoided Fengzhang and went to the official warehouse in Yuzhou, and collected the last bit of grain in Yuzhou City into the space.
The next day, Lu Leshan, the general of Yuzhou, received a report from his subordinates that the grain in the official warehouse had been stolen, and he hurried to the granary, and in the huge warehouse, it was stolen cleanly, and there was no trace of transport, as if this pile of grain had disappeared out of thin air, it was very weird!
In a few days, Yuzhou City was turned upside down, and not a single grain of grain was found.
The food in the official warehouse was gone, and the little food in the barracks could not last for a few days.
Now that the stolen food has not been found, and the city is running out of food, the rebel ranks are unstable.
Lu Leshan is in a hurry!
Especially watching the grain outside the city being harvested by the imperial officers and soldiers all the way, he was even more anxious!
According to the current situation, the people in their Yuzhou City will be trapped and die here, and there is no possibility of survival, since this is the case, it is better to fight.
But thinking that it would be a life to die with the team, he hesitated again.
Barracks outside the city.
"In the past few days, everyone should pay attention to the movements of the rebels in the city, they may jump over the wall in a hurry!" Xia Jing reminded everyone.
Long Yutian looked at her, "Niangniang received the news and knew that the rebels finally couldn't hold back?" ”
Xia Jing smiled: "No, I don't expect them to last long." ”
Long Yutian was stunned, when did the war depend on premonition?
He thought for a while and said: "Since Niangniang thinks that they can't hold out for long, then the subordinates will arrange for people to continue to persuade them to surrender, in case someone really surrenders, they don't have to fight each other, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain." ”
Xia Jing nodded in agreement with his approach, but the way of persuasion could be changed, the efficiency of sending people to shout outside the city was too low, and only those rebels on the city wall heard it, and the scope was limited.
"I have a little song here, which can be adapted so that the soldiers can learn to sing, and then all the soldiers will sing to Yuzhou City, and the shock is incomparable to the persuasion you send a dozen or twenty horsemen now."
"Xiaoqu?"
Long Yutian's eyelids jumped, and he asked the rough man who was marching and fighting to sing the song, cocking his orchid fingers, and the picture of the commotion made people dare not look at it directly!
Whatever he says, he also has to fight for the rough guys in the team, don't embarrass them.
"That. Mother, our team is full of rough guys, and it's probably okay for them to roar because they have a loud voice, but it's a bit difficult to let them sing! ”
"All you want is to have a loud voice!" As she spoke, Xia Jing handed him a piece of paper: "This is the lyrics, you follow me a few times first, and then teach the soldiers when you learn it." ”
"Huh?"
Long Yutian was dumbfounded, he was a lot older, why did he still let him learn to sing?
Isn't this going to kill him!
"That, that, Niangniang, it's okay for you to let your subordinates go into battle to kill the enemy, it's really hard for you to let your subordinates sing songs on my broken voice, and the most important thing is that your subordinates don't understand the rhythm! It's even worse to listen to when you go out of tune and break your voice, like a ghost crying wolf, but don't scare you! ”
Xia Jing didn't let Long Yutian go because of his resignation, but pointed at Ye Fei who was standing next to him, "Ye Fei, you stand here and learn with the prison army!" ”
When Ye Fei heard this, his eyelids jumped, he was just a personal guard, how could he learn to sing? Although reluctantly, he did not dare to refute and stood up honestly.
Xia Jing knows the importance of ideological education, and these songs were selected by her from the previous videos of the space, and they all belong to military songs.
The first song I learned was "Defending the Yellow River", the lyrics were just a few sentences, and some places were slightly changed, which was more in line with this era, and it was easy to understand and easy to learn.
While Xia Jing was teaching, she corrected their singing style and what they paid attention to, and within two quarters of an hour, the two of them learned.
When Xia Jing announced that they had learned, Long Yutian was still a little confused, "Niangniang, you learned it, it's so simple?" ”
Xia Jing couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, this person began to look resistant, it's too simple at this time, what's the trouble?
"That's right! After learning these words, you can just ask everyone to repeat them, and you first go to the generals and ask them to teach the soldiers under their command. ”
"This song is catchy and easy to remember, and the soldiers who don't have singing skills can achieve the effect as long as they roar out with momentum." Long Yutian was a little impatient to teach the generals, he wanted to see the momentum of the whole army singing.
Xia Jing let him and Ye Fei sing alone, and then waved them to teach others.
It didn't take long for the barracks outside the city to waft loudly with singing.
The next day, the rebels in Yuzhou City drank a bowl of gruel and rested lazily against the city wall when they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city.
Someone noticed the movement outside the city and shouted anxiously: "The enemy is attacking the city!" Hurry up, hurry up! Everyone hurry up, and the city tower quickly rings the gong to warn! ”
The deputy general of Yuzhou City, who was resting in the city tower, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and at the same time heard the exclamations of the soldiers, so he jumped up from his chair in fright, and leaned on the window to take a look, okay, a group of cavalry was rushing towards the city gate.
Immediately, the soldiers outside the building sounded the gong, and the defenders of the city would all enter a state of alert.
"Why don't these court lackeys want to attack the city, don't you see them signaling first, this is trying to carry out a surprise attack?" The adjutant general was annoyed in his heart, knowing that the enemy army would attack the city today, and this meal in the morning would make his soldiers full.
Now that everyone is in a state of hunger, how to fight the enemy?
The soldiers guarding the city wall were very nervous, holding their weapons tightly, but their legs were weak, how could this fight?
Some of the timid soldiers were about to cry!
If they encounter enemy troops in the field, they can still flee if they can't beat them, but they are now defending the city, and there is no way to retreat if they want to escape.
If the small life is wronged here, they are a good citizen, because they were captured by these thieves, they had to join their team, and now they have become a thief army, if the court soldiers and horses are really broken, will they have time to surrender? Can you save your life?
Soon someone noticed that the cavalry below stood still at a safe distance, and the ranks lined up and sang in unison.
"What are they doing here? Can we sing? ”
"What wind is roaring, horses are howling to defend their hometown or something, listen to them sing as if they are the righteous party, obviously it is the court that has no virtue and inaction to force the people to resist, how can it sound like we have done a heinous thing now?"
Some people also have different opinions and different concerns, "Don't you think they sing very energetically?" This song is different from other songs, even those of us who don't know how to sing can sing well, and we can sing with momentum! ”
"You're right, listening to their songs, I feel like my life has a head!"
"No matter how much you rush, you can't stand it when you're hungry!"
The soldiers outside the city took the trouble to sing over and over again, and when they were tired of singing, they drank saliva, and the hundreds of cavalry who came to sing the song each brought a pot of water, and there was no problem at all in singing for a long time.
The majestic singing echoed over Yuzhou City, and everyone who went up the city wall heard it.
At this time, the rebels had not yet formed a climate, and when they met the imperial army with the same combat effectiveness, they had the upper hand and captured the three prefectures of Qing, Yan, and Henan.
Now he met Xia Jing's elite soldiers and horses, which made them a little helpless for a while, and they didn't know where to start.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court sang outside the city for three days in a row, and they listened so much that even the rebels understood the lyrics and could hum the whole tune.
There are also some people who are unstable when they hear it, and the morale of the soldiers and horses of the court and the morale of the rebels are obviously going to two extremes.
The consequence of the swaying hearts of the people was that a group of people in Yuzhou City could no longer stand the hunger, assassinated the rebels defending the city in the middle of the night, opened the city gate and escaped, and they surrendered to the imperial court.
After Li Chengmu captured Yuzhou City, the whole person was still a little dizzy, and the city that the soldiers would fight for was captured so easily?
The main generals of the rebels were put on the city wall and beheaded in front of all the captives in the city!
The rebels who surrendered can be disorganized into the imperial army if they are willing to join the imperial army, and those who do not want to join the army can be repatriated to their hometowns, but if they are found to join the rebels again, then the next time they are captured, they will only be beheaded.
——
Yuzhou was recovered, and the entire Yuzhou was returned to the name of the imperial court.
The rise of Lingnan soldiers and horses means that the imperial court soldiers are strong and strong, and with the support of Xia Jing, the money and food are not worried, and if you make persistent efforts, Yanzhou and Qingzhou will definitely be able to win, so that Prince Ning, who admits that he is a thief and splits Dayu, will be punished accordingly!
In the middle of the month, the Lingnan soldiers and horses led by Xia Jing and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses were in Lingbi County, the border of Yuzhou, while the rebel troops were in Xiaqiu.
The two armies confronted each other across the Tang River, repaired the fortifications, and neither of them acted rashly.
And this stalemate was broken after the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court Jiankang.
The soldiers and horses of the three sides fought and the rebels were defeated one after another.
"Master, according to the current situation, we will force the rebels to the border of Jizhou, why don't we force the rebels to Qingzhou, and then crucify them in Qingzhou?"
After all, Yanzhou Qingzhou has long been plagued by the rebels, and it would be a bit more than worth the loss if they let them go to Jizhou again.
Facing Ye Fei's inquiry, Xia Jing smiled and snatched the comb from his hand: "Jizhou and Youzhou have been separated from the imperial court for too long, I am afraid that they have already given birth to a disobedient heart, if they stay in the north and have been safe and sound, how can the imperial court take back the governance rights of these two state capitals?" ”
Ye Fei suddenly realized that in the face of the current situation, it turned out that several major generals had not come to report the situation to Xia Jing, and it seemed that they all understood her intentions.
Ye Fei thought about this, and said guiltily: "The subordinates are stupid, they didn't understand what Niangniang meant, and they misunderstood Niangniang." ”
"It's all trivial, you don't have to worry about it, after all, your main task is to keep me safe." Xia Jing didn't care at all, combed her hair straight, and gently pulled it up.
Ye Fei saw that she was so confused, and brought up the old thing again: "Master, you have been fighting outside in recent months, and you don't even have a personal attendant by your side, or we should buy a few maids outside, right?" Or can you bring the red and white plums? ”
Xia Jing stood up, walked to the chair next to her and sat down, listened to his words and said: "Now it is inconvenient to take a few little girls in the barracks, besides, those two girls are okay to wait at home, and they will never be able to endure this hardship when they march and fight." ”
"Then it's too inconvenient for you to have no one around you."
Xia Jing glanced at him playfully, "Aren't you always waiting by my side now?" ”
When Ye Fei heard this, his inexplicable heartbeat was a few beats faster, and his face turned red with anger.
Just when he was about to think about it more, he only heard Xia Jing say again: "You are with you, I can do the personal things myself, and I will use the girl for the time being, and if you have no kung fu to accompany the girl, you will increase my burden, maybe I will have to protect them in case of danger!" ”
Ye Fei felt a little embarrassed in the house, added some charcoal to the stove, and went to prepare toiletries for Xia Jing.
After washing, I lay down on the kang, and soon fell asleep, and when I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Ye Fei heard the movement in the house and walked in with hot water.
Xia Jing felt the cold air while washing, and asked, "It snowed again last night?" ”
"Well, it snowed heavily last night, and many houses were crushed in Jiyin City, and the soldiers stationed in the city came out to rescue a part." Ye Fei replied and put the hot water on the dressing rack.
Xia Jing was a little surprised, stood beside Ye Fei, watched him prepare the toiletries for her, and casually boasted: "You are becoming more and more potential for a warm man now." ”
"Huh?" Ye Fei let go of his body and looked at her sideways suspiciously: "Master, what did you say?" ”
Xia Jing shook her head and changed the subject: "Who gave the order?" ”
Ye Fei was slightly stunned for a moment, and replied: "Your Highness's order!" ”
Xia Jing praised when she heard this: "There is progress!" I didn't ask any more questions, and I had breakfast with peace of mind.
When breakfast was finished, Yan Qiong came to him: "Master, the capital has sent a letter." ”
Xia Jing took it and looked at the handwriting on the envelope, and said with a smile: "It's a letter from Shopkeeper Ding." ”
As he spoke, he opened the letter and browsed through it at a glance.
Ding Daqiang wrote in the letter that the reorganized military bureau in the capital, through several months of hard work, was built according to the drawings, and finally built the steam engine that Xia Jing wanted.
They wrote to ask what this steam engine was for.
Ding Daqiang also reported in the letter that the glass and cement factories in Beijing had made profits.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court forced the rebels to the north of Yanzhou, and the people of Dayu had a new understanding of the ability of the imperial court, and those forces that tended to be inflammatory, like flies found the smell of fish, and immediately ran to the capital.
Ding Daqiang said that now the four gates of the capital are queuing up to enter the city every day, and the sales of the houses and shops in the city are so good!
There is no worry about selling at all, and the people who buy it take out the money to buy their own houses and shops again, and they don't dare to complain, otherwise they won't make a move, and some people will buy it.
Ye Fei and Yan Qiong were both paying attention to Xia Jing's expression, and when they saw the joy on her face after reading the letter, they asked, "What happy event did the shopkeeper Ding say in the letter?" ”
Xia Jing did not hide the two of them, folded the letter with a smile and put it in the drawer, and said: "The shopkeeper Ding has a good ability, he has sorted out the capital in just a few months, and has also put the glass factory and cement factory on the right track, and now he is already making a profit." ”
The happiest thing is that the steam engine has been built, and when the spring of next year begins, the captives can be allowed to repair the railway.
Thinking of this, Xia Jing thought that the captives in the capital were not enough, should she wait for the snow to melt next year, do you need to go to the grassland again, and get some captives to come back to build the railway?
