Chapter Ninety-Nine: Prince Ning
"Good news!!"
"Zhenbei Pass is a great victory!!"
"Zhenbei Pass Victory !!"
……
On the official road from Zhenbei Pass to Beining Prefecture, the herald planted a pennant on his back, galloped on the fast horse, and all the people he met along the way avoided both sides, looked at the good news and fast horse, and ran to the direction of Xingtai.
Along the way, the official post has already prepared horses, which can be replaced at any time, and the horses will not stop, and they will rush away for eight hundred miles.
Ningkou County, located at the junction of Bac Giang and Bac Ninh Provinces, is located in the north of the alternation of the middle and upper reaches of the Xing River, and is the only way to enter Bac Ninh Province from Bac Giang Province to the south, and even to Neifu and Jingzhong.
Similarly, it is also an important hub for Bac Ninh Province to go north to reinforce Zhenbei Sanguan.
July 12th.
Prince Ning ordered 20,000 Ningwang palace guards and 100,000 people from the north to be repaired here, and camped ten miles north of Ningkou County.
A team of sergeants, marching in an orderly manner, almost emptied the huge Ningkou warehouse.
Ningkou warehouse is slightly different from Chu closing position.
Although both are used for hoarding military supplies, grain and grass, they are not civilian warehouses.
However, Chu Ping's position is only directly for the use of the Zhenbei Army, but it is not directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Zhenbei Army, and is usually supervised by the local yamen.
If it weren't for this, the case of Chu Ping a few years ago, Meng Wei would not have had to pass on the letter to the station to investigate and deal with it, and in the end, the case was directly decided quickly, and he didn't really get a meridian out.
This is also a clamp on the Zhenbei Army.
The general of the male army is indispensable, and he is indispensable to the suspicion and suspicion that he may support the army and respect himself, and he will not let go anymore and let himself control the grain, grass, ordnance and other things collected from the entire Beijiang Prefecture and Banfu.
The Ningkoucang, which belongs to the Yingyang Mansion Army of Beining Prefecture, is not under the supervision of the government and county yamen, and is usually supervised by the ten battalions of the Yingyang Army in turn.
The biggest difference between it and Chu Ping is that the ten battalions of the Yingyang Mansion Army have a self-dispatch limit, and they can replace and supplement the armor by themselves, and the food and salary are also collected and distributed by themselves in the Ningkou warehouse, which is much more convenient.
This is also a common practice in the armies of all provinces.
First, it is because it is like Ningkoucang and the like, and the grain and ordnance should be stored, all of which are from military fields and military craftsmen, and they belong to the Yingyang Prefecture Army's own storage, which is considered self-sufficient.
Second, it is also because the strength of the Yingyang Mansion Army is scattered, and there is no unified general between the ten battalions, each of which operates separately, today the first army is damaged and replaced with 100 pairs of armor, and tomorrow the third army is missing 20 or 30 horizontal swords.
However, every year, Jingzhong and Xingtai will send people to inspect, check and reconcile accounts, and count the number of people who enter and leave the camp, etc., but they are not completely laissez-faire.
It's just that at the moment, the Yingyang government army of Beining, Beijiang, and Jibei dares to respond to the will of the DPRK and China at any time, and is not dispatched by King Ning.
But he didn't dare to respond to it in person, so as not to let King Ning be cheap when he went to war, and requisitioned Ningkou Cangtun grain and ordnance for use.
Well...... It's not that no one dares, it's just that it's already karma.
The head of Captain Yingyang of the Third Army of Yingyang in Bac Ninh Province is still supported outside the gate of Ningkoucang.
Now the prince of Ning, Zijin did it himself, and there was no nonsense.
Even now, the Third Army of Beining Yingyang is also the captain who has been transferred from abroad over the years, and the people who pull it up with one hand are basically his cronies, but no one dares to do anything about it.
Not to mention that King Ning's 20,000 palace guards are the existence that they are afraid of, just the people's brave army, which has almost doubled, is not the existence they dare to act in terms of the number of heads.
After all, there are only a few heads.
And Prince Ning is actually quite helpless.
Originally, he didn't plan to take care of these Yingyang Mansion troops, nor did he plan to empty the Ningkou warehouse.
But who knew that after they arrived in Ningkou County, another 80,000 people had spontaneously recruited here, wanting to go north together to reinforce the border pass.
Although these people had brought some rations of their own, they did not think of reaching out to him again.
But with such a large team, if they want to go north in an orderly manner, it is not as easy as a single horse, and it will not be very fast, and the little food they bring with them will not be able to eat at all.
And the grain and herbs they brought all the way from Beining City are counted, and if they really want to supply so many people more, they will spend on the road, and when they get to the border pass, don't think about how much they can have left.
Only then did he pay attention to Ningkoucang.
"Second, you're impulsive."
In King Ning's big tent, Zi Yan looked at the second son Zi Jin who was standing in front of him with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, and reprimanded in a deep voice.
But there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes at all, and his tone was not too harsh.
And Shizi Zijin is even more ruffian, his big head moves again and again, but he doesn't mean to be taught modestly.
"Dad, why don't you let me take the guards first, there are more and more people gathered here, and the slower and slower they go, when is it a head! When we get there, we won't be able to eat anything hot. ”
Zijin was 'honest' after being trained for a quarter of an hour, and then she couldn't help but come to the front of her father, and asked for instructions with a look of anticipation.
The two of them look ninety percent alike, and Prince Ning, although they are a little older than King Yong Li Jin and Emperor Taihe Yingmin, and they are still in the military, but they are younger than the two, and they look like they are around forty on the surface.
The two of them came together, like a big brother leading a younger brother, more like a father and son, and they sat and stood without sitting, loose, without a princely bearing, and a pair of swayers.
If it weren't for what he said in his mouth, he would be completely hooking up, pondering the virtues of which Qinglou Tile House.
"Wait, it's not time yet."
Listening to Zijin's request, Prince Ning waved his hand, like a fly, and pulled him aside.
Zijin was also accustomed to her own Lao Tzu's behavior, turned her head and pulled a chair to sit down by herself, picked up the tea on the side, and poured a big sip as if she was pouring wine, "Dad, you always talk about it, so when is it okay." We are dragging our families, we really don't even want the nest, what's wrong? We're fine, my little sister is only three and a half years old, and my aunt still hasn't come out of her belly...... Well, they can't afford it. ”
Just around the Ziyi camp, there is a special camp tent that is surrounded by a single person, and it is no one else, it is the old and young women and dependents of each branch next to the five inner heirs of King Ning's Mansion.
Ning Wangfu went north this time, and he brought all the children of the family who had not separated from the palace.
Those who can fight, whether they know how to write or fight, even if they only have the strength of their sons, are all divided into the team of recruiting people.
Those who have the ability to lead the march and can handle the general affairs will act as scribes, and those who will not know anything will be thrown directly to the cart to carry the grain.
It can be said that it has poured out of the nest.
After walking for so long, the young and strong man can adapt to it, and no one dares to stab.
But those old and young women, even if they accompanied them in a carriage, were really a little guilty.
The weather in Beidi is still cold fast, and it won't take more than a month, and as soon as the first snow falls, the entire territory of Beijiang Prefecture will be counted as winter.
Although the performance is casual and not very serious, it does not mean that he is not worried about it.
"Take a gamble. This boss bets, you can meet this time in a few lifetimes, a hurry! Zi Yan took a sip and said with a smile.
"You don't know, that kid Yingji, if you don't give him a chance, he can ponder you for a lifetime, endlessly, we can't accompany him so much, it's not interesting at all."
It's just that after saying this, Zijin looked at his own Lao Tzu with a flash in his eyes.
Then he leaned closer to his head and said, "Can he really ignore anything and directly dig out our nest?" Didn't he always want to pretend to be a holy monarch and be praised by all eternity? ”
"Right or wrong, what's the matter if the person in front of you says a few words. Whatever you want to write in the history books, you don't need to say it, he has a fart to worry about. Zi Yan sneered.
Zijin quietly asked again: "Dad, you give us a bottom." What the hell do you think? Did you do it with him a long time ago, and hold this casual vernacular ability in our hands, or did you plan to float in the future? ”
Zi Yi slapped him directly on the back of the head, "it, it, you reckless man!" Can you learn more from you and grow your brains? ”
After saying that, he looked at Zijin's strange gaze full of suspicion, and without saying a word, he threw it over again, crackling.
Then he said: "Let's not come back this time when we get out of the customs, just hug the north and grab the territory of those wolf cubs, so I just don't play with them anymore, let Yingji jump by herself." in the same room, it doesn't mean to be a bird's feather. ”
Zijin's eyes lit up, but he didn't wait to say anything, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and without needing to report, the general of the palace guard, Zixun, strode in.
"Big brother, Zhenbei Guan's good news!"
"General Meng attacked the camp at night, killed 50,000 enemies, captured more than 80,000, and Chi Yangu Liuru and others only brought 50,000 elite soldiers and fled north in embarrassment. The Zhenbei Army has won a great victory!! ”
Ning Wangshu's disciple Xun happily informed Zi Yi of the good news he had just received from the passing herald.
But seeing Prince Ning's cynical attitude, he was swept away in an instant, and his face was full of solemnity.
"This first move, the general opened it for us, and then, it's time for us to make a move. It's just a pity ......"
In the second half of the sentence, he didn't say any more, but just shook his bow to the north, and then turned to the two:
"Jin'er, give you 10,000 mansion guards to ride, set off immediately, and go to Yanbei Pass first."
"Fifth brother, you take 30,000 people to reorganize the people and go straight to Beiguan."
"In addition, let the third brother come over, take 50,000 people to go quickly, and after Jin'er, rush to Yanbei Pass."
"You two, after arriving at the border pass, don't pay attention to the enemy head-on, quickly go to the center of the Reed Bunting, and then the general will send someone to greet you, you can just listen to the general's dispatch."
Zijin stood up and beat his chest to receive the order.
Zixun didn't hesitate for a moment, and the two quickly transferred out of the camp together.
Half an hour later, the two large armies quickly separated from the camp and moved quickly in the northwest and northeast directions.
