Zhu Yong gathered more than 5,000 main forces of the prefectures and counties in the west of Dongting and occupied Luxi, and was very satisfied with his own wonderful move.
This place controls Chenxi County Road in the south and the direction of the north, and blocks the front road from the Miao people back to the old village. It should be the finishing touch.
At this time, more than 2,000 newly mobilized and recruited military troops from Changde were gathering at Longtou Temple one after another.
Longtou Temple is located on the east side of Chenzhou Prefecture, and has formed a force of attacking the Miao people from the east and west; in addition, the city of Chenzhou Prefecture is solid, so it is not a problem to stay for several months.
The situation of the Miao people is Zhu Yong's words, if the mouse in the bellows is exposed to both ends and there is a willow nail in the middle, and there is not even a foothold that can be used as a barrier.
In Zhu Yong's eyes, more than 10,000 Miao people's armed forces have become a tool for him to win military merits and become a title.
Perhaps after this battle, there is hope for returning to the court to be the crown prince and then protecting him.
The Zhu family is not only a national surname, but his son Zhu Neng is a hero who sacrificed his life for the Taizong family during the Jingnan Battle. Zhu Yong himself fought for three generations of emperors. It may not be a problem for his family to gain power for two or three generations of times.
Unexpectedly, Yongdingwei's urgent report came to his hands, forcing him to feel disturbed.
Useless stupid guy!Zhu Yong directly threw the emergency report on the big case of the Central Army tent, and then fell to the ground, and the generals under the tent looked at each other.
In order to conquer Miao, Zhu Yong dispatched troops everywhere and aired all the troops from the garrisons in the west of Dongting Lake, leaving behind a large number of troops and weapons for the Yongding Guard.
Unexpectedly, the commander Liu He raised more than a thousand people to fight a rebel army of hundreds, and was defeated and defeated, and was forced into the acropolis.
After a while, Cao Shan, who was wide-body and fat, walked in with a calm face, and didn't know how he got the news.
Cao Shan had a good temper. Seeing the urgent report on the ground, he bent down and picked it up, walked to the chair next to him and sat down and read it.
Although the inner court after Yongle had not set up a Nei Shutang to improve the culture of eunuchs, because the emperor attached more and more importance to eunuchs, their literary talent cultivation was obviously higher than before. After all, there were fewer students like Wang Zhen, but there were many eunuchs who could read and make sentences, and Cao Shan was one of them.
After reading the urgent report, Cao Shan said: "Don't be angry, it's not too bad. Fortunately, Liu Heju didn't throw away Yongdingwei.
Zhu Yong was angry and sneered: He had more than a thousand people defended the city. If hundreds of people were attacked by the acropolis, it would really become a strange story about ancient and modern times!It’s better to let a shaking book bag lead the troops.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it on the table, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: What Eunuch Cao said is not bad, it is not too bad.The lost counties of Cili and Shimen were weak in defense and had no soldiers, so it was normal for them to lose them.The traitors can't make a fuss. It's not too late to deal with the Miao people after I deal with them.
Someone hereby reminds carefully: Lizhou may not be protected, Huayang King...
snort!
Zhu Yong looked dissatisfied, but he didn't want to say anything bad.
Then why can the King of Huayang be fooled by the word "King" and be fooled by others, Zhu Yong?
Ordinary bureaucrats are somewhat concerned about the royal family, but for Zhu Yong, the son of the King of Shu, who has no bird use every year, has many layers of relationships with the emperor. In contrast, when their father and son were struggling for the Emperor, who was closer to the emperor?
At this moment, Cao Shan said: Can Duke Cheng take a step to speak?
After hearing this, Zhu Yong immediately waved his hand and asked the generals to leave the account.
He is not a person who is proud of himself and looks down upon anyone. On the contrary, he is not slow to smell and treats several eunuchs who are despised by the world with courtesy. In addition, Cao Shan is also a eunuch who is easy to talk to, so the two get along well usually.
When the irrelevant people left the tent, Cao Shan said: Our family does not want to talk about King Huayang... Because someone mentioned King Huayang just now, Cao Shan said he wanted to borrow a step to speak. Perhaps many people thought he wanted to talk to Zhu Yong about King Huayang in private.
Cao Shan paused and said: Chengguo Gong used troops like a god. Our family only knew the basics of military affairs and talked about military affairs on paper, and usually did not dare to say too much.When he first arrived in Huguang, because the cult riots escaped into the mountains and forests, the Miaojiang River was not over, so it was not wrong for Duke Cheng to use troops against the Miao people first. However, at this time, the rebellion killed officers and soldiers and occupied two counties. He might have to capture Lizhou soon and force King Huayang to leave. As soon as the King Huayang wrote a letter, he soon argued with the emperor.Everything should be urgent... After saying that, no matter how violent the Miao people were, they were just a small tribe in the southwest. One Chenzhou Prefecture would be enough for them to waste there. What else can they do?If we explain it more clearly, you should have heard some news... Then the ward off the cult and the remnants of Jianwen...
OK, OK.
Zhu Yong stood up and paced back and forth for a few steps, but now he had to turn north and the army was walking, with the roads far away and the mountains and rivers intertwined, which was really inconvenient; and it would miss the opportunity to fight and let the Shuangshang go in vain.
Cao Shan said: If the Miao people want to run to their hometown and let them run, what’s wrong with them?
Zhu Yong thought for a while: It is better to send troops from Yuezhou Prefecture than to dispatch troops from Lu Xi. In comparison, the distance is the same. Although it is a little bit complicated, it is not much worse.Besides, there were only a few hundred rebels, so it was no difficulty for Yuezhou Prefecture to temporarily quickly draw 2,000 troops from all over the country. I sent another general to lead the troops and defeat the rebellious army in one fell swoop.
Cao Shan pondered for a moment and said: That's good.However, if Yuezhou Prefecture could have more troops transferred, wouldn’t Liu He from Yongding Guard be defeated by picking more than a thousand troops?It is best not to add fuel to the lamp and defeat the best strategies in one fell swoop.
What Eunuch Cao said is extremely true.
Zhu Yong thought for a while and immediately slapped the table and asked Qin Yousheng to go, and immediately wrote a letter of appointment to him.Qin Yousheng once followed me in Jiaozhi, and his troops were very stable and he would not miss the situation.
……
Zhang Ning, led by Wang Dianshi and other officials, entered the county government again. He walked into the signing room first and found that the pile of sand made of sand tables and the door panels in the middle of the house were gone, and the other decorations were almost the same as the previous one.
He asked again: Where is County Magistrate Wang?Was taken to the capital?
Wang Dianshi said: Not yet, and he is still in the county prison.
Oh!He is very lucky. I will do my good deeds to the end. I will save him again. You can release him and continue to be the magistrate.Anyway, he would be sent to the capital for conviction, and there would be no more than one crime; now he shouldn't have to persuade him, right?
The family is dead, and even if you want to persuade me, there is no one.Wang Dianshi said softly.
Zhang Ning said in surprise: How did you die?
Wang Dianshi first wanted to speak but stopped, and then hesitated: He committed suicide by hanging himself.
Zhang Ning saw his expression and said coldly: No way.Officials can only be beheaded if they commit crimes. The extermination of nine clans is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy, and the county magistrate Wang's family should not be.You must have something to hide from me.
Wang Dianshi looked around and finally couldn't help but approached in a gossip and whispered: Duke Cheng came to Shimen County and saw that his wife was beautiful. He believed that he was not good at being arrogant. He was so arrogant that he raped Wang's wife first and then killed him, and threw his youngest son to death on the spot. It was a terrible sight. Later, the general forced Wang's high hall to death... Duke Cheng said that those people committed suicide for fear of crime. No one in the entire yamen dared to speak too much. It was useless to say anything. Can the emperor still kill Duke Cheng for the sake of a criminal official who betrayed him?Not only is it useless, it will offend people for nothing but cause trouble.
This happened... Zhang Ning was stunned.Suddenly I remembered the Zhang family in Nanjing... It was so fucking that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. The emperor took the lead in doing such a thing, and the nobles were extremely cruel.
Wang Dianshi whispered again: County Magistrate Wang was not killed for a while. Perhaps because Duke Cheng's subordinates wanted to act and attack him on the way to Beijing, but later, if you forgot or something, County Magistrate Wang was kept in prison and no one came to take care of it.
Let him go.Zhang Ning said, let him come out to be the magistrate, and if the county is taken back by the government, you have some explanation.
Wang Dianshi was stunned, and after a moment, he complained slightly: County Magistrate Wang had no power, and this time he could not push him.
Zhang Ning patted his shoulder: Maybe Shimen County will not change its ownership again, so you will be at ease.
Wang Dianshi: ...
Zhang Ning then came to the backyard. When he walked under the eaves of the house where Wang Yu's family had been imprisoned, he gently opened the window and looked inside. It was empty.Things change.
A woman who didn't even know her surname had only met twice.For some reason, he felt a little sad at this moment.
When I raised my head, the maple trees in the yard were bare and no red leaves were floating, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are already new buds on the branches.Spring is coming without realizing it.
……
Zhang Ning led his army to rest in Shimen County for a day, and immediately led his troops to Lizhou.
The situation this time is completely different. Threat of Lizhou is no longer a feint attack: the mobile troops in Jiuxiwei and other places were transferred without any restrictions; Zhang Ning's total troops increased to 1,000.
Lizhou is a remote small city with no regular army and weak defense; Lizhou is very close to Shimen County, and the people who can know that there is nothing wrong with Shimen County after it is broken will not have the motivation to defend it.
There is no reason to defend against this city.
On the other hand, Zhang Ning sent someone back to Fengxia Mountain to deliver messages.
First, let Monk Yao send the personnel from the Weapon Bureau out as soon as possible, and then there are troops to pick them up (the size of Yongding Guard is a threat); secondly, the branch owners who had previously wanted to join the army were notified and sent people to Cili County to contact and discuss and formulate personnel itineraries.
Then, the weapons were urgently transferred out, not for anything else, but for making cannons.
Zhang Ning fully tasted the feeling of having a strong defense in Yongding Guard that had no choice but to use the city with a strong defense, because it was because there were no siege weapons.He only needs one magic weapon: a large-caliber mortar.
The real siege weapon is not the Red Cannon but the large-caliber mortar. This thing requires low craftsmanship and even the gun barrel grinding does not require fineness, but it can make the classical city really tremble.
Even Constellation Danteburg, the only city in the world, broke a big hole under the power of artillery, let alone a city like Yongdingwei.
(Constellation Danteburg has been reinforcing the city walls with stones for hundreds of years. The height and thickness have reached the point where any ancient army completely loses its desire to siege. It is known as the city of the world and the last fire of the Roman Empire. But it finally fell under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops and the roar of artillery. From then on, the end of an era in the West was also the beginning of an era.)
Just like the red leaves on the tops of a maple tree, new buds will surely emerge after falling. Why do you need to lament the glory of the past?
This place controls Chenxi County Road in the south and the direction of the north, and blocks the front road from the Miao people back to the old village. It should be the finishing touch.
At this time, more than 2,000 newly mobilized and recruited military troops from Changde were gathering at Longtou Temple one after another.
