Chapter 597: Former Rivals

readx;

"Your Majesty, look, Jizhou Mansion is connected to Xifengkou and Longjing Pass in the north. Once the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is lost, it is equivalent to losing more than 30% of the defense line in the northeast of the Great Wall. So there's no room for error here.

Now we have more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city. If you really stick to Jizhou Mansion, you can at least guard him for a month or two. If we send people back to Beijing to ask for reinforcements from now on, the reinforcements will definitely arrive here within half a month. When the time comes, we will join forces with reinforcements, and we will definitely be able to drive these Tatar soldiers and horses out of Shanhaiguan!"

The place where Zhen Shuowei commanded the envoy to detain Xia Jialin was the mansion of the famous wealthy family in Jizhou Mansion, Chen Jihai's family. Chen Jihai's family had been persecuted to death by the command of Zhen Shuowei, so Jiangxia also wanted to be convenient, so he simply regarded this Chen family's mansion as his temporary palace.

The main hall of the atrium of the Chen family's mansion has now been turned into a temporary command post by Jiangxia. His henchmen are now here, and in the main seat in front of the hall, there is a detailed map of the surrounding area of Jizhou Mansion hanging at this moment.

Xia Jialin is very familiar with the situation of Jizhou Mansion, and after his introduction, Jiang Xia also has a more detailed understanding of Jizhou Mansion.

Jizhou Mansion can indeed be regarded as the last barrier against the Tatar invasion, if it is lost here, then the Tatars will definitely drive straight into the capital and kill it directly. Because behind this Jizhou Mansion, there is no longer any large-scale city to defend. And Jizhou Mansion, which has the Luanhe River as a natural barrier, can be regarded as the only city that is still on a large scale.

Xia Jialin very much hoped that Jiang Xia could make up his mind to stick to Jizhou Mansion, after all, he was an official for one term, and he didn't want his place of governance to be wiped out by the war and become a wasteland.

After Jiang Xia pondered for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's try our best to guard Jizhou Mansion first." Next, I will assign the next responsibilities of each of you. ”

"Your Majesty, you should call yourself 'I'. Xia Jialin cautiously interrupted Jiang Xia's words and said.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will assign you the matters that everyone needs to be responsible for." First of all, Zhang Meng, I will send you to cooperate with the Xia Governor's Mansion to lead people to rebuild the city defense. At the same time, look around to see if there are any secret passages or secret passages in the city that lead from the outside. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Zhang Meng said.

"It's in accordance with the order!" Xia Jialin said with a little dissatisfaction. Zhang Meng's neck shrank, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates obey the order!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Lord Xia, I have just ascended the throne, so don't care too much about these red tapes for the time being. It is better for us to consult now on how to defend against the Tatar army. ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys. Xia Jialin bowed to Jiang Xia and replied. For an official like Xia Jialin, who is a serious person and a scholar who has come out of the ranks, the mentality of the supremacy of imperial power has long been deep-rooted, and it is simply impossible to change it. And, back then, it seems that there is no need to change for Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia nodded, and no longer continued to talk about the matter, but continued to arrange the matter of guarding the Jizhou Mansion. He said to Qianjuxing: "Juexing, what you are best at is tracking and escaping, so I will send you to take some elite scouts out of the city to find out the whereabouts of the current Tatar army." It's best to figure out where they are now, how many people there are, and how long it will take to get to Jizhou Mansion. ”

"Yes!" Qian Juexing responded, then subconsciously glanced at Xia Jialin, and hurriedly added: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xia's mouth, and he looked at Xiao Shu and Xie Tengfei and said, "Xiao Shu, Xie Tengfei, I will order the two of you to go and reorganize and train the people of the Xingzhou Army and Zhenshuo Guard." Those who can stay will stay, and those who refuse to change will be killed. ”

"Yes!" the two responded.

Then Jiang Xia said to Leng Yu and Yang Beibei: "Leng Yu, Yang Beibei, I will give you two a handwritten message in a while, and the two of you will immediately take a cavalry back to the Beijing Division, find Yang Yiqing, and ask him to immediately send troops to reinforce Jizhou Mansion." Tell him to remember to bring a few more cannons. ”

"Yes!

In the end, Jiang Xia looked at Ma Yunfeng and Yu Ren, and Jiang Xia said: "Okay, the rest of the people will lead everyone to prepare the equipment to defend the city." Boulders, sassal trees, thistles, pits, moats, bows and arrows, oil, ...... and so on, you have to have everything you need. ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey the order!" the rest of the people answered in unison.

Funingwei of Yongping Mansion, a group of Tatar cavalry is waiting here. Judging by their outfits and the equipment they carried, it was obvious that these Tatar cavalry should belong to the role of wanting to explore horses in the army.

Sure enough, soon the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded. In the distance, a winding Tatar army was marching this way. This army is mostly cavalry, and of course there are many infantry. For the sparsely populated Tatars, it was not easy to assemble such a large army.

It can be inferred from this that it is even more difficult to control such an army and become the commander of this army.

After the vanguard of the Tatar army had passed, the rest was the Chinese army. Generally speaking, the main generals are located in the Chinese army, first, for ease of command, and secondly, because of safety.

The group of Tatar cavalrymen waiting in Funingwei, after seeing a middle-aged man from the Chinese army, immediately drove forward, then turned over and dismounted and knelt down and saluted: "See Lord Wanhu, we have already explored ahead, no one is here, it seems that they have all fled and left." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said to himself: "Today's Da Ming is no longer like the previous Da Ming. Jiang Xia is really powerful, the first emperor didn't believe the wrong person back then. If I had personally led my troops to attack Shanhaiguan back then, where could I have fought for so long. At that time, the Ming army was rich in soft eggs, where would there be soldiers and horses who delayed with their lives and let the people evacuate safely first. Hehe, that's good...... It's interesting. ”

Strangely enough, several of the Tatar cavalry spoke Mongolian to the middle-aged man, but when the middle-aged man spoke to himself, he spoke Chinese.

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked ahead and said, "Give the order to go down and march at full speed." We must hurry to Jizhou Mansion, and after breaking through Jizhou, we will immediately attack the Jingshi!"

"Yes!" the Tatar cavalry immediately complied with the order to march at full speed.

If Jiang Xia was here, he would definitely be stunned when he saw this middle-aged man. Because this middle-aged man is already his old acquaintance. It's just that in Jiang Xia's original understanding, he thought that this man was already dead. Unexpectedly, he was not only alive, but also became a Tatar household.

Former rivals, it seems that this time they are going to fight again......
