Chapter 367
"Dezhou City now has 60,000 soldiers, soldiers, Zhuang Yong, and Ding Yong, among which 30,000 troops are stationed in Dezhou City, 10,000 troops are stationed in the Twelve Company, beside the Shili Official Road, and farther away, the mulberry garden is forty miles away. The entrance is the old city of Anling County, where ten thousand soldiers and horses are now stationed. In addition, Dashuiyi, Dianguanyi, and other warehouses are also stationed with soldiers, totaling 10,000. However, for safety reasons, we More than half of the grain has been moved to Texas City. "
Luo Guangquan introduced: "The 60,000 people belong to Dezhou Wei, Dezhou Zuowei, Tianjin, Baoding, and local regiments, and some of them come from Qihe, Linyi, and Huimin counties. In fact, due to the fact that they all belong to each other and are not familiar with each other, it is very difficult to schedule. "
The commander of the Texas Guardian made Luo Guangquan hesitate for a while. He wanted to destroy the military discipline of some troops and dispel the hearts of the people. When this is said, it is necessary to forge a gap with people, so hesitated a bit and only emphasized the difficulty of scheduling because of their respective subordinates.
Yang Ling was sitting in the upper position, and he had changed to a white silk plum-blossom patterned Confucian shirt. He wore a flat square scarf, and he was graceful and graceful, like a jade. There was no majesty of commander-in-chief. There were civil servants besides the local government The official history of governance, as well as special envoys sent by Jinan and Tai'an to listen to the instructions of the bandits, with these civilian officials in the background, Yang Ling even stood out from the crowd and was quite outstanding.
Yang Ling listened with a smile, but nodded his head. In fact, about the situation in Texas, he hadn't arrived yet, and he had already reported back, so he knew more about the situation here than Luo Guangquan introduced.
He looked at the generals who were sitting in front of him and asked, "I heard that General Joe Sihai is also guarding Texas. Why didn't he see him?"
Luo Guangquan thought of Qiao Sihai, who had fought against Zhejiang in Jiangnan Ping Wa, had fought under Yang Ling. Busy Gongsheng replied: "Going back to China, the original garrison of the Twelve Company has no more than 3,000 people. For security reasons, he will send Qiao Sen to reinforce the Twelve Company. When the country official wants to see him, he will find him immediately. Come".
Yang Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, the enemy is at present, how can the head coach in the army leave without permission. Let's discuss the business first. The deep wall of Dezhou is thick and the soldiers are strong and strong. You are brave and warlike. My father-in-law was also heard in Beijing. "
Luo Guangquan and everyone will hear it, all glory on his face. In fact, Yang Hu attacked the city three times for the purpose of grain and grass. That was because he had no clear strategic objectives. He had no intention of hitting this town connecting north and south and running through the important towns of the west and east. So he couldn't attack and turned to plunder elsewhere. The war was not very fierce.
But this time is different. According to Yang Ling's understanding, Yang Hu is so talented. Although he is well-known in the green forest and has great martial arts skills, the strategy of marching wars is not his strengths. This time the white army is uncharacteristically. No longer aimlessly wandering around, posing a must-have trend for Dezhou and Jinan, and Bazhou Xiangmao echoed with it, attacking inside and outside, obviously the two sides have made contact and reached agreement on important military actions opinion.
From drifting to trying to seize Shandong and Shanxi, based on this. Looking at Henan again, turning Hebei, where Gyeonggi is located, into a lonely place, such a grand plan Yang Hu ca n’t think of, and the group of stolen horses do n’t have this kind of knowledge. The white army is above the ringing horse thief, but it can follow the good, and it seems that Yang Hu's men are also capable. Not only did he agree with Zhao ’s military deployment. And it affected Yang Hu.
On the one hand, this is a strategy planned by the anti-thief's resourceful man. On the other hand, this is also an objective need for a team to grow stronger. They need to establish a stronghold and a stronghold. Even if no one planned, Yang Hu wouldn't think of it now, as his army grew stronger, he would soon realize this problem sooner or later.
Yang Ling knows that these two anti-thieves have become a confidant of the court, but Daming is currently unable to mobilize a large number of troops from the empire to defeat the enemy in Shandong, whether it is financial or military, against the characteristics of the white army.
The strategy of the imperial court also changed at any time due to time and place. When the white-robbers were weak, Yang Ling and the cabinet agreed to block the white-robbers. They all succeeded in the battle and suffered heavy losses in Shandong. They must all be wiped out. Within Shandong.
However, with the growing strength of the white army, the wolf has become a tiger, and the court has neither, nor can it have the time to gather the elite teachers of the country and the financial resources of the country for Shandong, even with the rule of the court It is completely paralyzed in Shandong, where there is a tendency to gather tigers and roaring forests. That is, it is only possible to force the tigers out of the mountains, without giving them the possibility of creating a base area.
The scourge of bandits will eventually be bandits, and it is impossible to shake the country ’s rule, and have their own bases, then they will establish rule, establish political systems and laws, establish logistics, and destroy them completely. It is the most terrible thing to transform into a purposeful construction.
The imperial court has set up separate areas to take charge of the wall and clear the field. Each government has its own tactics of banditry and drove tigers out of the mountains. Although the white army is riding the Central Plains, there are more places that are affected, but first they were driven away from the capital of Beijing. The place where the capital is located and the palace of the emperor are always in crisis; the second is to prevent the Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi provinces around the capital from being completely eroded by their scourge, and the productivity cannot be restored for decades. Appears.
The chasing of wolves can not only weaken its soldiers, frustrate its sharpness, disperse the damage, it is easy to restore the economy after the banditry, but also make full use of the financial, material and physical resources that will consume huge amounts and are difficult to exert if they are used together. Troops, to fight together.
This is only known to the talents at the center of the imperial court. Such a cruel decision cannot be told. If you let the locals know that the central government, in order to avoid the country's turbulence and in order to give full play to the power of the bandits in the country, they are deliberately forced to force them out, and the infringed places will inevitably produce grievances and even popular changes.
However, this is also no way. Standing high and looking far away, sometimes the place may not be able to understand the pains of the overall situation and overall decision-making. And out of local interests, they are also reluctant to implement. Even if Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei have become human purgatory, there is no other government official or civilian gentry who has been victimized. Nor will they provide financial resources and material resources without complaint.
If all the people respond negatively and wait until the anti-thieves in the north take advantage of the situation, the damage to the world will be more difficult to estimate. If not, how many people will have such long-term vision?
Think about the impending city of Beijing at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court did not even have military pay to mobilize troops for support. However, the wealthy families of high-ranking officials and rich men who had read books and had seen the world still refused to give anything. Just wait for the city to break through the eyes of the stolen house, and you can see it.
These macro-strategies Yang Ling would never tell these generals. He first praised the bravery of the defenders, and then said: "At present, Zhao Maniac has the slogan 'Jianguo Fuxian'. The emperor, in fact, was just bewitching the people.
He went west to Shanxi, there were only ten thousand people, but in my opinion. This is a serious problem, far from Liu Liu, Liu Qi and Yang Hu, a group of rash and comparable, so despite the precarious state of Texas, Xu Tai's army was sent by the court to chase, do not prevent him from standing in Shanxi. Set the fire on fire. Therefore, this time, only tens of thousands of elite guards came from this country's father, and there was no other soldier. "
His eyes sharpened. Suran said: "That is to say, the siege of Dezhou and the difficulty of Shandong, you have no external force to rely on, and you have to rely on yourself. The only one head brought by your country's father is for you to advance and retreat together!"
The remarks were very sharp, not only for the generals present, but also for the state officials who were standing in the lonely cities and waiting for help. Their envoys couldn't help but be surprised.
The generals were stunned, and they all stood up one after another, expressing enthusiasm and loyalty. Yang Ling smiled lightly and raised his hand to appease: "The generals please sit down. In fact, although the white army and the ringing horse thief are strong, they may not be defeated. When the DPRK came to the center, the center had stolen horses against the White Army. There had also been various discussions.
Negotiable. I think the strokes are the best. The national public recruited twice, once in Jiangnan. Succeeded. Once in Bazhou, it failed. At this time, I don't approve of solicitation. The morale of the thieves is flourishing. Without defeat, there is no strong deterrent. How can I force people to sign the alliance under the city? Stroking can only encourage their arrogance, they will not have sincerity at all.
Moreover, the soldiers are raised for thousands of days and used for a while. Gyeonggi thieves go against the law and poison millions. As soon as the imperial court came out of the division, he would appease the people who were bloody, and there would be no sorrow and sorrow. From then on, there must be ambitious people, and the imperial court officers and soldiers could no longer survive. Therefore, the imperial court has decided to fight against the dead, and the law is unrelenting! "
Yang Ling knows the officials and even many generals of Gucheng Prefectures and counties everywhere, afraid of the invincibility of the white army and the ringing horse thief. At the same time, because Yang Ling once stroked the ringing horse thief, they all have a silver lining. Because of the distress, some local generals and city officials hold a wait-and-see attitude and are incapable of fighting and hesitating, so I first said these decisive words to show the court's determination to dispel their illusions.
Then Yang Ling stood upright and said: "The public of the country first talks about the current situation, and then announces the policies of the gangsters and the people of the court."
Yang Ling walked slowly to the center of the lobby. Dezhou is a main transportation route running through north, south, west, and east. It has developed commerce and taxes, so it has a local government, but it is also an important city for garrison training. This place has always been dominated by military control. This government office is the commander's office of the Texas Guardian Commander, and the lobby is very wide.
As soon as Yang Ling moved, civil and military officials stood up and listened with breath.
Yang Lingdao: "Ringing horse robbers and white army soldiers have always had one thing in common, that is, the combat is fierce and cunning. All the units are time and time together, and their whereabouts are erratic, and they have no fixed position. Realize the blow to the point, and strike with thunder, even with a drum.
Moreover, all of their supplies were looted. Most of the ministries were threatened chaos. Once the imperial army was besieged, they could abandon all the weights, horses of war, and even the encircled small units without hesitation. Waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, like a jackal wild dog, can't keep up with it and avoid it.
For the robbers who come and go like this, the army of the imperial court really struggled. We have to raise food and grass, transport the weight, we need to find the main force of horse thieves, we need to guard every important city and traffic routes, we need time and energy to plan and coordinate, and it takes a lot of time. Great energy to deal with the aftermath and appeasement of the refugees.
Destruction is always easier than construction. Gu Gu missed each other. Indeed, some dogs bite stingy, unable to speak. If you chase with a small stock, even if you catch up, it will be useless. Officers and soldiers in various regions have defensive areas, and the difficulty in mobilization is mainly due to local use. Due to the different powers of military use, they are not the same. Centralized scheduling is difficult.
In addition, the Daming Million Army has to garrison the border and defend the city, and because of the high cost of the mainland officers and soldiers, there are few complete cavalry squads, even if they have cavalry, they are mainly composed of mixed cavalry, and they are very dependent on the supply of grass and grass. . This meant that guerrilla warfare was not our strength, and our strength was that we were good at building fortifications to prevent substitutions.
In this way, the ringing horse theft and the white army were rampant, taking advantage of the opportunity to sit up. Now their forces are growing stronger, relying solely on plundering and relying solely on guerrilla warfare, they can no longer meet the needs of the increasingly large army, so they occupy a place. They need a base area belonging to them to continue their development, attacking Dezhou, Tai'an, and besieging Jinan, and trying to hold the entire Shandong in their hands. This is their first attempt.
In this way, it also gives us the opportunity to develop our good defensive director and to consume as much enemy power as possible in the defensive battle. Frustrate the enemy and make the army feel refreshed. This point must be communicated to the governors of all prefectures and counties, and be observed as a whole. "
Yang Ling sighed and continued: "This is the main requirement for fighting on the ground. There is another thing that is more important than this. It is the place where the White Army destroyed the ground. Officials in various states should not just defend the city. Yes Ignore these places that have been destroyed and left untreated.
It is necessary to restore the village, try every means to raise grain and give it to the villagers for planting, and rush to cultivate and plant. Can receive one is one, with the hope, the people will not be forced to follow the white army to kill and rob, they must promptly appoint officials, and place some troops in local conditions. For the White Army, there is no need to worry too much. Now their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and the army is getting bigger and bigger. They no longer care about the villages that have been looted and ruined several times. "
"In addition!" Yang Ling's voice became severe, and the generals and civil servants in the hall were shocked. Only Yang Ling's voice said: "A part of our army has low combat power and corrupt military discipline, and even compared with the bandit robbers to the scourge of the people , Do n’t think that your country ’s public does not know.
I now declare: For these things, the past is not correct, but if there are offenders, officials from all over the world must deal with them strictly. The criminals who commit serious crimes should be dealt with in public. The ruins of his own army are utterly muddled, and he is only lucrative and adulterous of women. Why talk about gangsters? They are bandits themselves!
In addition, those in the guardhouse who are hungry and eaten should take advantage of the war to quickly clean up, and all the soldiers who are disguised as old and weak and sick are removed. Even if these people are on the battlefield, they are also driving sheep into the tigers. Die. The public of the country has invited the Lord ’s will, and all localities can act cheaply, recruit some recruits and Ding Zhuang into the army, and strictly train to train troops in battle. Command and dispatch unfavorable officials and generals, once verified, they will be killed without pardon! "
Yang Ling said that he was murderous, his eyes were fierce, and the literary powers were ecstatic, and he could not help but say yes. It was only after they were deceived by Yang Ling ’s elegant appearance that they felt that the father-in-law did not have a shelf, and he talked calmly. Until now, all the deeds about the father-in-law were suddenly recalled from their memories.
Yang beheaded and Yang broom, where there was a storm, in the city of Fuzhou, there were more than one thousand levels in a day, such a sky-killing star, big broom, killing the cold-blooded devil without killing the blink of an eye, why didn't you remember it just now?
Many officials were startled and secretly sweated coldly.
Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "No matter what, the emperor and the court are very concerned about the place, and the court is not blindly tortured against the gangsters. The country's father now announced that he will post a poster after he returns to know the place: The gangsters and bandits, who surrender themselves, are not guilty, and those who surrender to the surrender are guilty of surrendering themselves. They are also not guilty. At the same time, despite the continuous use of troops by the DPRK and the central government, the emperor still has the purpose to exempt Shandong from paying money and taxes for one year.
This is a court holiday for the common people. After returning home, the envoys still have to warn the local officials that renters are exempted, and transfer and service should be controlled. Do n’t arbitrarily requisition civilian wealth and civil service. After washing, no one can survive. If the government ca n’t appease the rest, but instead exploits layers of war, it is to force the people into gangsters. The white army can gather 100,000 troops so quickly. , Is simply sending troops to bandits. These soldiers in turn demanded his head, extremely stupid. "
Yang Ling eased his breath: "This year, Shaanxi has a bumper harvest of grains. These new grains are edible and can be planted later. They are not afraid of planting later, and the people who are in desperation are not willing to take care of them seriously. These crops are just not very precious, and they are easy to survive.
The domestic company has informed that grain shipment from Shaanxi is not safe because of the rampant land robbers. At the same time, in order to save financial resources and manpower, it was decided to go through the south of the Yangtze River, the river to the sea, and then send it to Shandong from the sea, the grain will be stable as soon as it reaches the people, which will greatly help the local settle down as soon as possible. You, the situation now is in the enemy rather than me. Everyone, please help me fight the thieves and help each other in the same boat. "
All the officials bowed their hands together and said with awe: "Yes, I will abide by the official order of the country. Together we are in the same boat!
Yang Ling nodded and roared his sleeves, "The ringing horse robbery has attacked Dezhou City for the second time, and the country's public is new. They can't figure out the truth and reality, and this has temporarily converged. When it is proved that I have not brought soldiers, I will definitely attack again. Officials will be responsible for their respective duties and their respective duties, and pay close attention to preparations. Tomorrow morning, the country's public school parade, the ministries and departments are ready to prepare! "
A sharp chirp, a white shadow arrow generally swept down from high altitude. It fell on the broad shoulders, sharp claws clasped the leather shoulders tightly, tilted his head, and glanced at the owner.
Dancing wide sleeves, like a sea of ​​birds coming from east. This is a Haidongqing, the size of a magpie, but fierce in nature, can kill swans, small animals and foxes. Because it is not easy to catch. Therefore, there is a saying of "nine deaths and one life. A rare eagle". In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, there was even such a rule: Whoever can capture Hai Dongqing from committing criminals who have been exiled to eastern Liaodong in violation of criminal law. You can atone for it and pass it on.
This Haidongqing is the best in the middle, pure white ground, known as jade claw, autumn yellow, wave yellow, three-year dragon and other famous species are slightly inferior to it. Huadang caresses the feathers of Dongqing Hai, feeds it a piece of fresh meat, and smiles: "The camp of the Boyan tribe has been found in front of you. Be careful."
"Yes!" After a long journey, everyone was a little tired, and he couldn't help being excited when he heard this order. His son Ars stunned a command behind. Huadang pointed forward: "Their camp is in the southwest, within ten miles of it. Bayar, you led 3,000 cavalry around, blocking the road behind them. Now the camps you encounter should all be uncles. The outlying tribes of Yan must not allow them to escape and leak the wind. "
"Yes!" Bayar licked his thick lips, squeezed the steel fork in his hand, led the three thousand cavalry, and ran forward in an arc. Huadang's brigade was divided into three teams by Baiyin, Als, and himself, like a steel fork, attacking the camp of the Boyan tribe.
The sky is green, the fields are vast, and the green is blue. The sunset in the sky has been red and bloody, and the army of flowers suddenly speeded up against the background of the blood-red sun. Thousands of horses are galloping like Yinlei.
The shepherd dog drove the herds and horses into the fence "wangwang", and there was a lot of cooking smoke floating above the felt bag. After a difficult winter, there is finally hope for life. Because the daily consumption is mainly beef and mutton, coupled with the need for birth, disease, death, and reproduction, it is difficult for a family to maintain a living place if there are no more than twenty sheep.
Bawang is the patriarch of this small tribe. His family life is relatively wealthy, but now the remaining sheep are less than 30, so that now he dare not slaughter cattle and sheep at will, eating food except hunting to get wild animals, A lot of wild vegetables and grains were also mixed in order to take advantage of the good situation of this year's aquatic plants and let the cattle and sheep reproduce as much as possible.
He was only forty-five years old, and he was tall and burly. Although Boyang Khan invaded the border of Daming last year, he was limped by a knocking leg during the siege, but riding it immediately did not prevent him from grazing.
He glanced at the vast grasslands in the south and sighed softly: "This year, my son has gone out with Khan again. He has set off for more than 20 days. Longevity bless them, I hope his son is safe, this time can be more Loot some property, food and slaves back.
It turned out that when food, wealth, and slaves were in short supply. How easy it is to go to the Han's place to plunder. The Han people are docile like sheep who do not know how to resist. They will only build a city and wait for our strong bows and arrows with confidence, let us ask for it, and last year ... ".
He shook his head gently: "I wish my son would not touch that man, the invincible Boyan Khan, the bloodline of the golden family's heirs. The most noble and brave warrior was also chased by his soldiers, more than ten thousand The life of a famous warrior, why have we ever had such a failure? If I broke my leg and became the first lucky to return captives and property, my name might appear in those tragic deaths. "
He sighed and climbed off the horse with difficulty. A thin, weak girl rushed over timidly to take over the bridle. This was the first girl from Xiaotong who returned from Datong last year, named Xiao Cui'er. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very handsome, and he was regarded as a slave day and night slave here. His face also turned black and red, but he was still able to see that his eyes were fine and his bones were slender.
She is a slave girl of Bawang, and also a tool of his libido. But Bawang will not be more pityful because of her handsome appearance. Last month, the sheep and rams that she looked after fought, and the people were weak and did not know how to separate them. As a result, a sheep was killed and jumped like thunder. Bawang suffocated her, and she dies.
Bawang threw her out of the tent without any mercy, without any treatment at all, and was ready to throw it out on the grassland to feed the wolf. But the vigor of the humble slave became more and more powerful. She did not enter the water for three days, but she survived, so she continued to be enslaved by Bawang and worked hard for him during the day. When he needed it at night, He had to withstand the torture of his muscular body of nearly two hundred pounds.
Bawang got into the tent, and his wife was ready for dinner. The food at home was very rich. There are delicious braised pork, roasted leg of lamb, milk skin, milk tofu, horse milk, but now it is mainly milk tea, fried rice, wild vegetables. Occasionally, it can be opened.
He sat cross-legged on the felt, just picked up a bowl of horse milk, the wine in the bowl began to ripple, the ground quaked, like a thunderous sound, as a man who lived on horseback since childhood. A real warrior, he immediately recognized that it was the sound of horseshoes, at least the sound of tens of thousands of horses running.
In the prairie, although there are many war horses, even the richest, a family stocks at least dozens of horses, but for the pasture, each tribe is divided into many small tribes, usually divided into open pastures, who can concentrate such a large number of horses Running together? Only him, only the great Boyan, could it be that his army is back? This time it was too fast.
Bawang jumped up excitedly, limping out of the felt bag with his lame leg, and saw the female slave Cui Er standing in the yard with a bundle of firewood in her arms, her mouth open and stunned. Looking at the distance. Bawang subconsciously scolded: "Damn, do your work."
If it were not a few steps away, he would jump up and slap him hard, and now, he only scolded, and quickly looked in the direction of the horseshoe. At this point, Bawang was stupid. First, a snowy eagle falcon flew across the felt bag, followed by numerous horses, like a huge wave destroying all the land, rolling from his side. Ever.
Bawang's strong and tall body was like a leaf in a huge wave at this moment. If it were not for the army and horses who deliberately let go of the felt bag and humans and animals, he would be trampled into mud. Tweety squatted on the ground shrunken, holding his head in his hands, his face pale in fright.
The call sign converged into a horrible sound, which was far away, but this momentum has completely lost the courage of the dozen men in the felt bag to resist. They are all old and sick who ca n’t follow the military expedition, even if they are not. They also have no ability to fight such a powerful horse team.
Although they are all descendants of the Mongolian Yuan, there are some differences in their dress and use of bows, swords and spears. Bawang is a warrior who has been battle-hardened. He also attacked Duyan Sanwei with Bo Yan. He recognized that It's the Duoyan Sanwei.
"Gosh! So many people, the elite soldiers of Duoyan Sanwei also came out of the nest, and they dare to attack ... No, this is a complete plunder, plundering the tribe of Boyan!" Bawang burst into despair.
The people behind are obviously slowing down. Although they are only a small tribe, their habit is like this. The forward only charges, destroys everything that tries to stop them, and will not affect the sharp attack formation of the entire team for plunder. These The people behind are responsible for the collection of loot.
The two horses stopped in front of them. The people on the horses were all dressed in a fat yellow Mongolian robe, right gusset, slanted collar, high collar, long sleeves, pedal riding boots, tight belt, very burly and sturdy. Their knives were still in their waists, holding only the whip in their hands, and they were calm.
"You, from now on, are our slaves," the immediate knight pointed his little whip to the little girl Cui'er who had been scared and fell on the ground. Then he pointed to Bawang: "And you, hand over your knives and bows. From today on, you will be our slave like her!"
A couple of strong bows, arrow pots and Mongolian knives, and a steel fork stalking a wolf against the grass, all possible weapons were found, as well as his woman and his slave. The other tribes were also brought together because his felt bag was the largest of the dozen herdsmen.
Ma Quan was taken away and became the backup mount of the Duoyan Sanwei soldiers. He followed closely, and Bawang looked at his property with distress. The carefully-raised sheep were easily killed by the soldiers with a knife, and the skin was removed. , Remove the offal, and then divide it into a few pounds of fresh meat, and then ignite and simmer in the pot that is still warm at the bottom of his stove.
Of all the sheep, one is not left. They are predatory fighters and are not brought up.
The light in Bawang's eyes was dimmed. Even if the soldiers of the three guards let him escape, he didn't know how to survive. After losing these cattle and sheep, their family only starved to death, or ... .
Bawang looked subconsciously at the girl who had never been seen by him, and a miserable and desperate smile appeared on his face. He lowered his head silently, then a pair of leather boots came to him, and then, he saw a young soldier greet him with a smile: "
Hi, brother, tell me, the general location of the other camp tribes, saving effort. Especially ..... in the tribal camping area of ​​Queen Selimudol, I heard that the first beautiful woman on our grassland did not accompany the old fellow of Boyan? "
