In the 602nd year of Dawu, the 22nd year of Xuanwu, in late February.

Just when Dawu Luoqi was holding a martial arts competition in full swing, in the land of Shandong, the Eastern Japanese invaded without declaring war, and then the Northern Japanese invaded without declaring war, with 50,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, and invaded Qingdao, Shandong, and Yangzhou.

On the same day, the generals Rokuta Noboru and Shinoda Saburo under the command of Satan Onizuka led 20,000 Japanese soldiers to take Yangzhou Huaihua Fort, and 5,000 defenders and generals of Huaihua were all killed.

Now advancing to Shouguang City, at the Shouguang slope, 10,000 military troops were defeated, and the generals fled.

A part of the Japanese army invaded Luzhou, dozens of large and small warships, advanced into Luzhou Hulukou, Hulukou 10,000 defenders desperately resisted, but after all, they could not hold the enemy's large number of warships bombarded indiscriminately, when Hulukou was about to fall. Fang Shouke, a famous anti-Japanese general, led 50,000 Japanese soldiers from the Luzhou headquarters to rush to the aid of Hulukou, so that the Hulukou position could not be lost.

In the land of Qingzhou, facing the Northern Japanese Invaders, a well-equipped Japanese army of 50,000 invaded Taizhou, which claimed to have 100,000 defenders on the same day (in fact, there were only 30,000 local troops). As a result, Taizhou defender Yu Wanguang died on the battlefield. The 30,000-strong army of Taizhou, when fleeing, almost annihilated the fire gun army of the Japanese Invaders.

In just a few days, more than 10 generals and more than 60,000 soldiers were killed in Shandong.

Two days later...

Extreme Martial Arts Hall!

Morning!

Hula!

"A bunch of rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! What is the use of the Great Martial Kingdom raising you? With the battle report from Shandong in his hand, Emperor Xuanwu had a headache and almost died of anger on the dragon chair.

"Tell me, except for the Japanese soldiers in Shandong, there should always be 100,000 troops in each state! Where can the news come from the vice governor of Shandong, why are there only 30,000 defenders guarding Taizhou? Where did the other 70,000 Qingzhou garrisons go? ”

"Ye Yi, my great prime minister, I handed over the entire general affairs of Shandong to you, and you, the governor of Shandong, did this?"

"Look at the table full of letters, letters from the three states for urgent help, and war reports of local losses. In just a few days, Shandong lost more than 10 generals and more than 60,000 soldiers were killed. My great warrior is so vulnerable! ”

"And! Where did the 300,000 local troops in Shandong go? Ye Yi! You'd better give me an explanation, or else! This king doesn't mind giving your position as prime minister to someone else. ”

Angry! Emperor Xuanwu was really angry this time!

The entire Shandong has a population of nearly 10 million and a vast territory, and in just a few days, it has lost an unknown amount of territory? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid! It is not the coastal areas that are lost, but the whole of Shandong.

Thump!

Ye Yi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Please forgive your majesty!" ”

No way! Over there in Shandong, there are too many officials who eat empty salaries! Even he eats it himself. Those who were able to put the money in the hands of the soldiers were half as short as the actual pay.

This naturally led to a collective strike by Shandong soldiers, running and running, fleeing, originally 300,000 local garrisons, but later! Barely to 100,000.

"Humph!"

"I'm wrong about you!" Emperor Xuanwu said angrily, "General, Shandong General Affairs, who can claim it?" ”

Anyway! The military power of Shandong, 200,000 reserve soldiers, can not be handed over to Liu Wenlong.

Liu Wenlong understands Emperor Xuanwu's intentions, and he will cut the military power! He didn't really care either, "Your Majesty! There is a candidate in the minister's heart, and I don't know if His Majesty is willing to do it or not! ”

Oh!

Emperor Xuanwu's temper eased a little, and he asked, "Who is the general referring to?" ”

Liu Wenlong said: "Five soldiers are still in the book, Zhang Tianzheng." ”

The Five Soldiers Shangshu is equivalent to the Shangshu of the Military Department during the Tang Dynasty, and it is subordinate to the Sanpin Dawu in Dawu. Thereinto! The five soldiers also refer to the middle soldiers, foreign soldiers, cavalry, other soldiers, and all soldiers.

Zhang Tianzheng, Chinese New Year's Eve, was admitted to the Jinshi in the same year twelve years ago, third on the imperial list, and in the last five years, he made outstanding achievements and worshiped the five soldiers Shangshu. Assist Wang Mingzhang and Liu Wenlong in managing the military department. Later, he became a direct subordinate of Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu is heartbroken!

Boy! You'll be picky!

Zhang Tianzheng is one of the few loyal ministers under him, and if he is sent to Shandong to be the governor, it will be tantamount to cutting off his flesh and skin.

But! In order to stabilize the situation in Shandong, he had to reluctantly cut his love.

"Five soldiers, Zhang Tianzheng, if I appoint you as the governor of Shandong, in the face of the fierce and occupying the coastal Japanese invaders, how should you deal with it, and how should you dispatch troops." Emperor Xuanwu asked His Royal Highness Zhang Tianzheng.

Zhang Tianzheng took a step, stepped out of the ranks of hundreds of officials, lived in the middle of the hall, and bowed: "Your Majesty! ”

"If Your Majesty appoints the minister as the governor of Shandong, the minister thinks that he should transfer Qi Lanyin, the general of Yuzhou Wukou Pass, to lead 5,000 Qi family troops under his command, recover all parts of Taizhou, and transfer 50,000 reserve Japanese soldiers, and the anti-Japanese general Zong Jing will be stationed along the coast, re-set up outposts, and defend the seaside Japanese invaders." Zhang Tianzheng analyzed.

Oh!

Emperor Xuanwu interjected, thought for a long time, and always felt that this Qi Lanyin, where did he seem to have heard it, in the depths of his memory, he found such a small fragment, and asked: "What you are talking about is Qi Lanyin, who recovered Hulukou in Luzhou three years ago?" ”

"Exactly!"

"When you say that, I'll remember! This kid has a very stubborn temper, when he swept away the Japanese Kou, he was only twenty-two years old, and if he counts the time, he should be twenty-five now! You should also have a beard! But! This person is a good anti-Japanese general. ”

"Good! Just send this person forward! ”

Emperor Xuanwu responded.

Then! Zhang Tianzheng directly expressed his anti-Japanese strategy and his thoughts after being promoted to the governor of Shandong. The Luzhou Fang Shou Section directly led all the coastal defenses in Luzhou, and the remaining local Dawu Army in Luzhou was directly led by the Defense Section, leading 30,000 reserve Japanese soldiers to garrison the Hulukou Fortress.

Then! He also let Li Shuren and many other generals, 50,000 reserve Japanese soldiers, and the Yangzhou garrison army directly recover Huaiguang, Shouguang and other places.

In Yangzhou Fishing Port, more than 50 warships, including three large, medium, and small ships, left the port one after another, led by Luo Qian, the artillery general.

Luo Qian, but the general of the naval battle! During the years of the war with the Japanese invaders, he commanded almost only won and did not lose the naval battles.

And these generals! Almost all the famous anti-Japanese generals in Shandong and other places. For a time, it was all dispatched by Zhang Tianzheng alone, which can be called the prosperous era of great martial arts!

"Good! Shandong has you Zhang Tianzheng, I should also feel at ease. After hearing Zhang Tianzheng's words, Emperor Xuanwu was relieved a lot, "Come on, draft the will!" ”

"Ordered Zhang Tianzheng, the secretary of the five soldiers, to serve as the governor of Shandong's Qing, Lu, and Yang, and the three prefectures, and to have the right to transfer all the generals in Shandong. In addition, Dongfangtian, the king of Qi, assisted Zhang Tianzheng, the governor of Shandong, to retreat from the army and recover the lost territory. ”

"Plus! The literary examination conference will be held as usual tomorrow, and the king of Qi, Dongfangtian, can participate in the poetry meeting and return to the fiefdom of Luzhou. ”

Zhang Tianzheng and Dongfang Tian hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister (son) obeys the order." ”

So! No matter how arrogant the Japanese are, Emperor Xuanwu will not believe it, 200,000 reserve Japanese soldiers, plus more than 100,000 local garrisons, can not defeat 100,000 Japanese soldiers.
