Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 681 : Chapter 271 Drizzle

Eating is a mixture of coarse grains and fine grains, and there is meat every day. After entering the camp, I don’t know what it means to be hungry or greedy.

An army actually ran out of food when they were serving the country and the emperor, marched and camped hungry, Ding Hongguang and others all showed anger, Ding Hongguang said in a deep voice: "Damn it, who is in charge of the food and grass in the Xuanda army? They should be arrested." Wake up and die late."

"It's none of the food officer's business."

Jiang Min was in the staff office and knew more comprehensive information than Ding Hongguang. After all, the Secret Service mainly dealt with the inside, preventing rebellion, conspiracy, collusion, external threats and so on.

The Military Intelligence Department looks at the overall situation and has more external news. [

The staff office is to collect and summarize the intelligence from all over the place, and report it to Zhang Shouren after analysis.

Because of this, Jiang Min is very sensitive to news from all over the country, because he has to report it from time to time and form his own opinion.

According to the conclusion of the General Staff Office, the destruction of Xuan Dajun is a matter of time.

The soldiers are small and few, and their strength is already asymmetric with that of the Donglu, and they don't even have the ability to protect themselves.Gao Qiqian controls the main force of Guan Ning's soldiers, while Chen Xinjia controls the Datong soldiers such as Wang Pu.

Lu Xiangsheng only had Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu soldiers and Hu Dawei's soldiers around him, plus his own governor's battalion, so there were very few troops.Once there is a decisive battle, there will be at most a few thousand soldiers available for battle.

This situation is completely different from when he was ordered to go out from Xuanda. At that time, the soldiers and horses of the three towns, plus some soldiers and horses of King Qin, were in Tongzhou. There were elite and powerful frontier troops everywhere. There were many horses and cavalry. Capture the strength of a battle.

Lu Xiangsheng planned to use Xuan Dabing as the main force, Guan Ning's soldiers to cooperate, and the rest of Qin Wang's soldiers, even if they could not completely defeat the Qing army, at least they could fight the Qing army for a few battles, so that the opponent could not relax their vigilance and attack the prefecture everywhere. Harm the people.

As long as the Ming army maintains an unbeatable situation, the Qing army's invasion this time will be considered a failure.

But this kind of plan now seems to be in vain, the soldiers and horses were cut, and the authority was taken away. It was just that Chongzhen was afraid that the change of commander in front of the army would cause commotion, or even collapse, so he left Lu Xiangsheng in the army. However, everyone knew that , Lu Xiangsheng has lost the trust of the emperor, and it is only a matter of time before he is dismissed.

This is the continuation of the war in the capital. The eunuchs and ministers are unwilling to fight the Qing army. Chongzhen is afraid of fighting against the vital forces of the Guangming army, and the ministers are afraid of fighting. No matter how he makes a fuss, stealing some money from the people, don't take it too seriously, but Lu Xiangsheng insists on a decisive battle. Of course, such a person is not popular. The staff office has received information. When Lu Xiangsheng was summoned in the capital, he and Yang Sichang, who was in charge of military affairs, had a big quarrel. Since then, he has been divided repeatedly, and the supply of food and grass has become increasingly insufficient. By now, it is almost cut off.

These things are very complicated, and the explanation is not clear in a few words, so Jiang Min just chose the simplest answer: "Lu Zhitai and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the supervising army, are wrong, so this right cut off the food and grass of Xuan Dajun."

"The eunuch of the dog day!"

"Why doesn't the emperor know that eunuchs are not trustworthy?"

"Hmph, domestic slaves are of course more reliable than outsiders. Think about it, those rich and big families have short-term workers, long-term workers, and family-born children. The short-term workers are the least trustworthy, and the long-term workers are not as reliable as the family-bearing slaves. This eunuch is the emperor's family-bearing slaves, of course. Most trustworthy."

"How can we fight without food? Lu Zhitai should also think about it."

"We should go to the nearby prefectures and counties to adjust the grain, otherwise, go to the prefectures in the river, where they are rich and there must be enough food and grass."

Everyone was talking about it, but the people from the intelligence team of the Secret Service were indeed much better than those warriors who could only do things recklessly, and what they said in a few words was actually very reasonable.

Jiang Min laughed secretly when he heard this, and was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping towards this side, because he said to everyone: "Everyone, please be careful, we have been spotted in the battalion over there, and someone has already been sent over. "

The leader was a guerrilla general named Zhang Mingyan. Both Jiang Min and Ding Hongguang knew that this general was Yang Guozhu's favorite general. Everyone jumped off their horses quickly. [

Zhang Yan waved the horsewhip in his hand, and also looked at the group of soldiers in front of him with vigilant eyes.

Said to be soldiers, but all of them looked very clever, with the kind of wisdom in the eyes of people who are well-informed and literate.

They are scholars, and they all look powerful, wearing iron helmets and armor, and the weapons in their hands are all made of wrought iron, which are very sophisticated.

The horses are also top-quality horses, big horses imported from abroad, not local pony horses near Henan and Shandong.

No matter how you look at this group of soldiers, there is nothing wrong, but Zhang Yan can't see anything wrong. Although Zhang Yan is well-informed, he was confused for a while.

"Where did you come from? Do you have any official documents or proof of directions?"

"Reporting to the general," all the way through this trip, this kind of scene is Jiang Min's appearance, he arched his hands, and replied respectfully to Zhang Yan: "We are under the command of Master Zhang Shouren, the defense guerrilla general in Jiaozhou, Laizhou Prefecture. I ordered to escort a batch of grain ships to Hebei, and now the grain ships are staying in Linqing, I will go ahead and ask to see Master Zhitai."

"Hehe, your general and this prefect are quite popular, rare, rare."

After checking the official notice and road guide, and Jiang Min's hundreds of households stamping the general's waist card, after confirming everything was correct, Zhang Yan's expression was very emotional, even a little surprised.

After all, the local officials in Shandong sent food all the way to Linqing. Although they were still hundreds of miles away, they still asked Xuan Dajun to pick it up.

Zhang Yan obviously didn't know anything about Zhang Shouren, he was just an ordinary general, but he still said with a very expert smile: "Your general must be from a family of generals and very powerful in Jiaozhou, otherwise the local guerrilla and defense, the court generally would not Granted."

"My lord is from a hundred families, but he once killed thousands of pirates."

"Oh, oh, it turns out that I am so brave, but I am disrespectful."

"Don't dare, the general is far away in the Xuanfu, and he doesn't know about my lord's deeds, so it should be done."

"please!"

They are all Zhenggen soldiers. Although the temperament of this group of soldiers in front of them is a bit wrong, the aura of soldiers cannot be concealed from others.Although Zhang Yan was full of thoughts, the other party's kindness was palpable, because he got on his horse and smiled at the crowd: "It's been hard work from afar, but we have been out of food for several days, I'm afraid there is nothing to entertain you!"
