Chapter 50: The Mount of King Jizo Bodhisattva
Guyuan supervised the military yamen, Sun Zheng, Qin Hong, Cheng Minzheng and other military and political bigwigs gathered together, stepped on the snow and stood in front of the big map, explaining the situation of the Hetao with the teaching rod in their hands.
"Since the beginning of spring, our army has successively launched the 'Stinging Operation' in the spring and the 'Drifting Fire Operation' in the summer, and 30,000 new and old arms have cooperated in the operation, and have achieved a series of fruitful results......
Sun Zheng slapped the table with a blue face: "Keep the hymn for those big masters in the court!" Getting to the point! ”
"Yes!" Taxue reluctantly moved the teaching pole to a small city in the northeast of the Hetao: "The old city of Dongshengwei (in the area of present-day Ordos) has gradually been occupied by the Tatars since it was abandoned by the imperial court. In the past few years, the fire screening force has made great efforts to repair. and successively enriched the captives of the border people. As of this year, there are more than 100,000 residents in the old city of Dongshengwei, including more than 50,000 Han people. After Huo Sieve was captured last winter, the little prince took this city as a base camp to run the Hetao. However, this year it was defeated by our army in several consecutive field battles, and the original Tatar forces could only retreat back to the periphery of the old city.
At the beginning of September, our army launched the 'Scythe Operation', which marched in parallel in three ways, in order to complete its work in one battle and annihilate the living force of the little prince in one fell swoop. The little prince was defeated by our army several times in succession, realizing that it was not our army's opponent. So it was decided to abandon the old city and withdraw from the Loop......"
Cheng Minzheng whispered when he heard this: "This is a good thing!" As long as the Tatar forces are eliminated, we run the old city ourselves, and we have potatoes and corn in the ......"
Qin Hong interrupted him: "Listen to him!" ”
Taxue glanced at Sun Zheng cautiously, and then said, "Before the little prince retreated eastward, he slaughtered most of the Han people in the old city...... A fire, burning the old city! ”
Bang! Sun Zheng slapped the table with a big gap: "Beast! He glared at the snow: "What are you doing in a daze?" Go on! ”
Everyone was surprised, what could be worse?
Taxue stubbornly said: "Our army detected it in time and put it to the rescue, and pursued the little prince's troops to cross the Yellow River eastward, and fought with the enemy near Dongshengwei New Town (twenty miles northwest of Datong), destroying more than 10,000 enemies and capturing more than 3,000 people...... Cough! ”
"What are you coughing up? Choking on donkey hair in your throat? Go on! ”
"Our army relieved the siege of the new city and entered the city to pacify the people and found that there were no defenders in the city, and the residents were killed and wounded, but the little prince's department did not break the city...... After detailed interrogation, it was learned that it was Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui, who heard that the little prince's department was defeated by our army, thinking that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and the enemy rushed forward, and fled back to Dongshengwei New City after being defeated by the enemy, but on the charge of banditry, he slaughtered thousands of people in nearby villages, pretending to be a military merit, and reported to the imperial court! In order to extinguish the evidence, before withdrawing to Datong, take away the defenders of the new city, leaving an undefended border city......"
Cheng Minzheng was startled and stood up directly: "This matter is not a joke, but there is evidence?" ”
Qin Hong said gloomily: "There are relevant human and physical evidence, and they are on their way back to Guyuan." After three or five days, we will know. Meritorious, what do you mean? ”
Sun Zheng glared at Treadxue: "Are Toothless and Black Face dead?" Why didn't this kind of animal take down the Fa-rectification on the spot? Are you still waiting for him to receive a reward from the imperial court and go to drink celebration wine together? ”
Taxue had no choice but to turn his gaze to Qin Hong, and the old man hurriedly persuaded: "After all, it is a friendly army, not under the jurisdiction of our army." Speaking of which, the old and new cities of Dongshengwei are all under the rule of Xuanda, and we will recover the old city this time, after all, it is in the Hetao. But crossing the Yellow River and reaching the new city is already considered a passover! ”
Sun Zheng blushed and said coldly: "It is your pedantic thinking that makes the surname Chen dare to be so bold!" If my army does not arrive and the little prince breaks the new city, will there never be a day of snow in this matter? This kind of thief who is cruel to the people is even more harmful than the little prince! How is it different from being an accomplice to connive at the freedom of such a thief!? ”
Qin Hong said: "The court has to talk about a procedure after all. And when those human and physical evidence are gathered, the old man will impeach this fang to His Majesty! ”
Sun Zheng Huoran got up: "When the little prince slaughtered the people and burned the city, where was the law of the imperial court?" When Chen Rui killed the good and risked the merits, where was the law of the imperial court? If you want to talk about it, you can talk about it! ”
After speaking, he turned his head and walked out, Cheng Minzheng hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Don't be impulsive!" ”
Qin Hong grabbed him, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "There are some things that you and I can't do...... After all, someone needs to do it! ”
"But this ...... If you have a meritorious character, won't you poke a hole in the sky again! ”
"Humph! There is a hole in the sky, and it is also Pingjiang Bo's stab, and the meritorious work is to make up for the Daming Society! ”
Alas, I had to do this, and I can't seem to persuade it anyway.
Treading snow is a bit messy, after all, nominally he is still listening to Qin Hong's tent now, and he is already a serious Ming officer. But psychologically, he is more inclined to Sun Zheng.
Fortunately, Qin Hongren was old and refined, and he didn't have a chance to tangle at all: "Treading snow!" You are the chief officer of the intelligence department, and you have made contributions to the front of the army, but you can't do without you. As he spoke, he threw out his waist card: "Give him this brand, hold this token, like the old man in person." Tell Jiangong, just let it go, even if the sky falls, there is an old man around! ”
"Yes!"
Treading the snow and putting away the token, they heard a strange roar outside the door, everyone was a little surprised, and when they went out at the same time, they saw Sun Zheng sitting in a strange metal monster, slowly driving from the backyard.
This is......
Sun Zheng leaned over, pushed open the passenger door, and shouted at the snow: "Get in the car!" ”
He didn't dare to ask when he stepped on the snow, he bent down to sit in the car, the comfortable soft seat almost made him lose his temper, and it took half a day to slowly relax.
Sun Zheng nodded at Qin Dashuai and Mr. Cheng, who were standing by the door, kicked the accelerator, and drove out of the yamen.
Qin Hong stroked his beard and hehe: "You also said that you can't be psychic?" This time, I see what else I have to say! ”
Cheng Minzheng was dumbfounded for a long time: "Uncle Shi, this is ...... Could it be that in this world, there are fairy realms and underworlds? ”
Qin Hong patted him: "Then it's not something that mortals like you and me have to think about, we just need to do our best to do earthly things and live this life well!" ”
Cheng Minzheng muttered: "There are gods three feet above your head, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" ”
The off-road jeep drove out of the yamen of the prison army, and the two guards who shouted to step on the snow sat in the back row, honked their horns and drove out of Guyuan City, all the way to the north, rolling up billowing dust.
When I left the city at noon, it was not dark yet, and the word spread all over Guyuan City. The little prince slaughtered the city and burned the house, and the king of Sun Yan was furious, so that the divine power detained the mount of the king of Jizo from the Yin Si to the yang world, and drove to chase and kill the livestock.
In fact, this is not the first time that Sun Zheng has opened a jeep in Daming, at the beginning of the year, when he planned along the northern layout, he felt that riding a horse was too tiring, and the weather and horse condition were limited. I often drive back and forth at night to save time. If you drive often, you will inevitably be bumped into by others, so there is a legend of King Sun Yan detaining small ghosts and beasts at night.
Today is the first time to "manifest" during the day, and it wasn't until he left Guyuan City that Sun Zheng's anger was mostly gone, and he felt that something was wrong. But it doesn't matter, anyway, now everyone is rumored that he has supernatural powers, and even Old Man Qin has asked in person, so how about taking the opportunity to confirm this legend! It just saves a lot of spit, and as for the future prosperity of science and technology, people will question it after understanding the truth, and it is up to them.
After more than half a year of natural development and captive maintenance, the road conditions on the north are not bad, the speed of the car is maintained at about fifty kilometers, and the bumpiness is slightly smaller than that of a horse.
In the evening, he encountered a detachment of troops who were rushing to Guyuan to relieve the prisoners, entered the camp for a meal, rested for a while, and continued on the road. Naturally, as the jeep left, the legends in the barracks began to spread, and the captives became more and more pious and well-behaved, and did not dare to disagree in the slightest.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the jeep arrived at the old city of Dongshengwei. It has been more than half a month since the little prince slaughtered and burned the city, and the old city is being rebuilt from the ruins under the vigorous rectification of the border army.
The supreme commander of the station is Baili Zhong, the commander of Ningxia Town under Qin Hong's account, this person is a famous family, and his ancestor is the famous virtuous minister Baili Xi. Seeing Sun Zheng holding the Qin Hong token, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly arranged accommodation first.
After asking a few words at night, I learned about the current situation in the old city, and the accommodation was not too cold, after all. However, there is a shortage of food, and even less of all kinds of medicines. For this reason, the garrison had to save rations and try to escort the surviving residents back south.
Sun Zheng asked for a few empty tents and released hundreds of tons of polished rice and white noodles, which he still touched from the devil back then, and he never used it. He also used the space to make a batch of marching powder and several commonly used medicines, as well as a batch of various clothes and household utensils, and handed them over to Bailizhong after dawn.
Bailizhong almost bowed on the spot, saw Sun Zheng drive away, and hurriedly called someone to come over to transport grain and cook rice and treat the wounded. With this batch of supplies, it is enough for the old city to support in the rear. With these Hanhu people and others, it only takes one year of operation, and he is confident that he will regain the grandeur of the old city!
At half past eight in the morning, the jeep arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River.
On the wharves on both sides of the river, a detachment of soldiers of the New Army is stationed.
Sun Zheng didn't look down on the kind of slow ferry, so he drove directly down the river, and the moment he entered the water, he switched to the swimming mode. The amphibious off-road vehicle created by space is mellow and has no traces.
The other three crew members opened their eyes again, this thing kept running, running a few points faster than the Maxima at full speed, the key is that it can maintain such a high speed all the time, and now it can go directly into the water to cross the river. In the future, Sun Zheng drove it up the mountain, and they would not be surprised. Divine beasts, flying away from the sky is a little meaning!
At half past ten, Sun Zheng arrived at Dongshengwei New Town.
This city was built to house border people when the imperial court withdrew to the old city of Hetao. After decades of development, there are now more than 30,000 households, and a border army of more than 500 people is stationed in peacetime. Now the defenders have withdrawn with Chen Rui, and it is the border army of Shaanxi Town that has taken over the defense of the city.
Seeing the jeep, the soldiers defending the city were frightened, and hurriedly blew the whistle to warn, and a row of new soldiers with guns appeared at the head of the city in an instant.
Sun Zheng was quite satisfied with this reaction, but he did not praise their interest and asked Taxue to get out of the car to negotiate.
After a while, stepping on the snow came back to report, and Toothless and Black Face led a large army to Datong. Because of the murder of good and meritorious deeds, they knew that Sun Zheng would not let Chen Rui go, although they did not dare to attack the city directly to take him, but they led the team to surround Datong and block Chen Rui in the city.
"It's finally not stupid!" Sun Zheng set off, and the four of them hit the road again, bypassing the new city and heading straight to Datong.
