Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 344
After the Minister of the Ministry of War left, Xiao Yilin was not in the mood to review the memorials, and walked back and forth in the Zichen Palace, thinking about what his wife was doing now and what his son looked like.

Thinking that his daughter-in-law is now occupying Meizhou Mansion, sooner or later he will be discovered by the Emperor of Yi Kingdom. He feels that in addition to sending troops to the border to contain the troops of Yi Kingdom, he also has to help his daughter-in-law's Apocalypse Army become stronger.

An army's cavalry is much more powerful than infantry, but war horses are rare.Because of the shortage of war horses, it is not easy to expand the cavalry.

Xiao Yilin decided to secretly provide some war horses to his wife's Apocalypse Army.

At the beginning, his wife had obtained tens of thousands of war horses from Xiyan, and the Jin State had bred many war horses in the past two years, which were just for the daughter-in-law's Apocalypse Army to build cavalry.

Xiao Yilin found a trustworthy person and asked him to go to Meizhou Mansion disguised as a horse dealer, trying to sell the war horse to the Tianqi Army.

Although Jing Yi tried her best to block the news, the news that Meizhou Mansion was occupied by the Apocalypse Army still spread to the capital.

It was an official from Meizhou Prefecture who came to the capital to spread the news.This man is called Ma Kun, because his official position is not high, he is not conspicuous in Meizhou.When Jing Yi and the others raided the capital city of Meizhou, Ma Kun happened to go back to his hometown on business and was not in Meizhou, so he escaped the fate of being caught.

When he came back from his hometown, he found that Meizhou Mansion was occupied by a group of people, and all the officials of Meizhou Mansion were arrested.

Ma Kun realized the seriousness of the matter. He disguised himself as a disaster victim to inquire about news in Meizhou, and found that the Apocalypse Army had a large number and strict discipline, and its leader turned out to be a young woman.

He didn't dare to inquire any more, he left the boundary of Meizhou Mansion from a mountain path and went all the way to the capital.

Ma Kun first looked for Jing Zhaoyin. Jing Zhaoyin heard that the news Ma Kun brought back was too important, so he went directly to the palace to meet the emperor, and then Ma Kun was also called into the palace.At the same time, several ministers were also called into the palace.

Emperor Yongguang looked at Ma Kun, who was kneeling below, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it true that you said that the Meizhou Mansion was occupied and all the officials were arrested?"

Ma Kun put his forehead on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Tianqi Army now has a lot of people, and they are still recruiting a lot. If they grow stronger in time, they may pose a huge threat to the court.

Weichen also found out that the leader of the Qi Army that day was a woman, and now she has become the ruler of Meizhou Prefecture. It is said that the people of Meizhou Prefecture support her very much. "

Emperor Yongguang frowned, "Do you know who that woman is?"

Ma Kun said: "I found out that the female leader's surname is Liu, and I can't find anything else. I didn't dare to investigate too deeply because I was afraid that it would be exposed and I would not be able to come to the capital to report the letter. Your Majesty, the Qi army is growing day by day, and we must send troops to attack Tianqi as soon as possible." Army, take back Meizhou Mansion."

The Minister of the Ministry of War next to him stood up at this time, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is now a peasant riot in Xuzhou and a rebellion in Gyeongju. The army we sent to suppress the rebellion has not yet achieved results. If we want to send troops to Meizhou to quell the rebellion, we must dispatch troops from other places." soldier.

It's just that Weichen thinks that Meizhou Prefecture is located in a remote place after all, and the threat to the capital is not as serious as Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Weichen thinks that it is the most important thing to solve the rebellion in Xuzhou and Qingzhou as soon as possible. "

Emperor Yongguang was very irritable, walking back and forth in the hall with a frown, he suddenly stood still and said to the Secretary of the Ministry of War: "Isn't there still hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the northwest border? Transfer them to Meizhou Prefecture to suppress the rebellion."

The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. The garrison at the northwest border must not only guard against Beiyan's attack, but also guard against Jin's looting.

Both Beiyan and Jin are more dangerous than Meizhou Mansion, Your Majesty.Please think twice, Your Majesty. "

Emperor Yongguang said: "First transfer 20 troops from the border to Meizhou Prefecture to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time expand the conscription, and use the newly recruited soldiers to go to the border to fill up the number first. Now that the new emperor of Jin has only been enthroned for two years, it will not be easy to raise troops. Two years ago, Yan was severely injured by the Jin State, so there is no need to worry about wars at the border, and we must first dispatch troops to bring back the Meizhou Mansion."

The emperor had made up his mind, and several ministers could not persuade him to do things according to his will.

Soon Yiguo mobilized 20 troops from the northwest border and went straight to Meizhou Prefecture.

As soon as there was any movement at the border of Yiguo, Xiao Yilin quickly got the news.Xiao Yilin knew that the emperor of Yi Kingdom probably dispatched troops to attack his wife's Apocalypse Army, which was impossible.

Xiao Yilin immediately summoned the Minister of War to order the 20 troops who were already on the way to rush forward, and rushed to the border as soon as possible, directly pressing on the border of Yiguo.

Xiao Yilin ordered the Minister of the Ministry of War to dispatch another [-] cavalry to the border area of ​​Yi Kingdom.

If the 20 troops transferred from the border gate of Yi State do not return to aid, then the 25 troops transferred from Jin State plus the 35 troops stationed at the border will make a total of [-] troops to directly attack Yi State. soldier.

Jing Yi has planted spies in the capital, and if there is any movement in the capital, Jing Yi will get news soon.

Soon Jing Yi also got the news that Yi Guo sent 20 troops to encircle and suppress the Tianqi Army.

This news put a lot of pressure on Jingyi.Because she knew that although the Apocalypse Army now has more than 20 people, most of the Apocalypse Army are recruits and have never been on the battlefield.The combat effectiveness of recruits who have not been baptized by war is simply not comparable to that of veterans. If the Apocalypse Army really confronts Yi Kingdom's 20 troops, even if they win in the end, they will suffer heavy losses. This is not what she wants to see.

But no matter what, she has to be ready to face the battle.

The quality of soldiers is better than others, so find it from weapons.

Jing Yi improved the previously designed crossbow and designed a large crossbow. This large crossbow can fire multiple crossbow arrows at a time and has a longer range. It is a sharp weapon for long-distance attack.

Jing Yi also asked people to collect a lot of sulfur and other materials, and then she made a lot of bombs by herself.Jing Yi kept the bombs in her lucky bag, and she would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

In this ancient world, no one has invented black powder, and no one knows the power of this bomb. Jing Yi doesn't want to release this monster easily.

While Emperor Yongguang was waiting for the 20 troops mobilized from the border to wipe out the rebels in Meizhou Prefecture in one fell swoop, the Minister of the Ministry of War hurried into the palace to ask for an audience.

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of War entered the hall, he knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The border gates came to report. The Jin State frequently mobilized troops to the border gates. Now there are 30 soldiers on the border of the Jin State, and they may attack our Yi State at any time."

Speaking of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he submitted the urgent report from the border.

Emperor Yongguang was shocked after receiving the report, "Why did the state of Jin suddenly send troops to the border? Didn't they know that there was a rebellion in our country and they wanted to take advantage of it?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, no matter what Jin's plan is, we must be prepared for the battle. At the same time, we must prevent Beiyan from coming to take advantage of the fire. Therefore, the soldiers and horses transferred from the Northwest Frontier Pass must go back quickly. Not only the 20 The army must go back to defend the border as soon as possible, and try to increase the number of troops at the border, otherwise the Jin Dynasty may really attack us."
