Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 382 Two Pests

The time has entered the fourth year of Jianwen." The war situation in the north is even more puzzling.

In the past three years, the battles between the northern and southern armies were mainly concentrated in Heshan and Shandong provinces. To sum up the record, the Yan army won more and lost less, and the more they fought, the stronger they became.However, in terms of the results of the battle, the Yan army has been in the Jingnan War for three years, with little progress. Their cavalry has always been in Shandong and Hebei. , so that the northern army was invincible.

Due to the limited territory of the Northern Army, more than half of their supplies came from war seizures. They could not support too many soldiers, and their total strength remained at around [-] to [-]. This made them capable of field combat, but they did not have enough troops to disperse Guard the cities conquered by them.Therefore, in the past three years, although they have taken down many cities such as Shunde, Guangping, and Daming, they have won and lost. They either voluntarily gave up or were retaken by the imperial army. They can always be firmly in the hands of the Yan army. They are Beiping, Baoding and Yongping.

On the surface, the Yan army didn't take advantage of anything, but the court knew their own affairs, but they knew how much the court had suffered during the three years of hard work, the treasury was empty, and the conscripts had been recruited millions of times. All the mobilized troops have been invested in the northern battlefield. They can no longer afford to raise troops, nor do they have enough troops to supplement the needs of the northern battlefield.

Even the garrison troops of Sifeng Wanjing City, which had been fixedly guarding Jinling City and could not be transferred outside without any warning, had been quietly transferred [-] troops to the northern battlefield.Now Qi Tai and Wang Shuying are recruiting soldiers and food in Guangde, Huang Zicheng and Yao Shan are recruiting soldiers and food in Suzhou, and Lian Zining, Huang Guan, and concubine Mei Yin are going to Hangzhou and other places to collect food and recruit soldiers." .

Under such circumstances, there are many important military affairs that need to be dealt with, but the genius emperor Zhu Yunfen somehow remembered his fifth uncle Zhu Xinglai who was exiled to Yunnan to become a man-made ape on Mount Tai.King Xiang's family set themselves on fire." King Qi was imprisoned in Fengyang Prison, King Dai was imprisoned in Sichuan, and King Ning rebelled with King Yan. Among these princes, only King Zhou was still free. , although he lived a savage life of eating and drinking.

This is too unsafe, if the king of Yan sends someone to Yunnan to rescue him, and the three princes together call for the world to calm down, wouldn't it be even more powerful?Therefore, Zhu Yunfen hastily issued an edict, "Hurry up and take his fifth uncle Zhu Xing from Yunnan back to the capital, find a place in Jinling City to imprison him, and put him under his nose to watch, so he can rest assured.

Zhu Yunfen "has no plans to leave behind", and when he planned to change his fifth uncle from exile to prison, what was his "Crouching Dragon" Mr. Xizhi doing?Mr. Xizhi quoted scriptures, carefully researched, and worked hard day and night, and finally accomplished a major event. He set the rank of officials and honors of the Ming Dynasty.

He reformed and refined the official rank system during the Hongwu Dynasty, and formulated how many levels of civil honors, how many levels of martial arts, how many ranks of civil officials, how many ranks of military officials, how much each rank of civil officials, how much each rank of military officers, etc., and presented In the emperor, the edict to the world" will be implemented immediately.

These two out of tune...

While the two of them were too busy on the market, the north was still fighting.

After the new year, the Yan army sent troops again, and even fell into Dong'a, Dongping, Wenshang, Chongzhou, Jiyang and other places. The governor of Shandong Province was helpless, so he had to continue to be his "city god" and close the city gates "Defend his Jinan Mansion and let it go. Sheng Yong, the general who challenged the rebellion, also retreated step by step. The court's lack of soldiers, money and food" has begun to be reflected on the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, memorials to invite soldiers and supplies flew towards the capital like snowflakes, and the inconsequential emperor Zhu Yunfen and his incongruous prime minister Fang Xiaoru became nervous. Who would they send to relieve the siege of Shandong? ?The two discussed and discussed, but they couldn't find a suitable handsome talent, so they finally thought of Wei Guogong Xu Huizu.

Although Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru didn't become relatives, they finally had some friendship with each other during the days when they were in contact, which was much better than when they were not familiar with each other before. At this critical juncture, Xu Huizu had to be in command Rush to Shandong to relieve the siege.

Since there are no troops to be dispatched from various places, time does not allow the dispatch of troops from other places.Fang Xiaoru offered another plan to draw another [-] troops from the army guarding the capital and bring them to Shandong by Xu Huizu.Of course, there must be a supervisor to accompany the army and have the ultimate command of the army.

This is first-class, top-secret news. With the deployment of soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp, Nanjing will be empty.Because the grain and grass in Fanpei County were burned, they also knew that King Yan had eyes and ears in the capital, so this news was top secret, and no one except the two of them told it.

Before Xu Huizu arrived in Shandong, Zhu Di had already left the Jinan city alone, swaggered past under the city of Jinan, attacked the city all the way, and soon reached Peixian County, then went to Xuzhou, and crossed the Yellow River to Zhonghua. It's all Fengyang.

All of a sudden, Sheng Yong, Pingan, He Fu, Chen Hui and other generals all panicked and rushed to fight, trying to stop King Yan on the bank of the Yellow River.Seeing all the southern troops coming one after another, and his uncle Xu Huizu leading troops to meet him, Zhu Di made a strategic detour and moved all the way to Feihe and Lingbi.

He Fu was deep in Lingbi and wanted to fight a protracted war with the King of Yan, repeating the old tricks, and consume the King of Yan back to Peiping.Seeing this, Zhu Di went to intercept his grain road to prevent the grain and grass from reaching Lingbi. He Fu was in a cocoon, and he didn't dare to fight.

Ping'an led troops to He Fu to rescue the siege, but King Yan used Duoyan Sanwei's elite cavalry as the vanguard to cut Ping'an's army in two and killed them in sections. Zhu Gaoxu led the army to repel.At any rate, he rescued Ping An and other generals who were killed in a panic and returned to the cottage.Zhu Di didn't attack by force, he just confronted at the foot of the mountain.

Surrounding the spot to fight for aid is a good method that has been tried and tested since ancient times.

There was a shortage of food on the mountain, and suddenly there was a group of defeated soldiers who came to rescue. The soldiers on the mountain originally drank porridge, but now it was so scarce that it could be used as a mirror.Seeing that going on like this is not an option.” He Fu, Pingan and others discussed it, and decided that rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to forcefully break through and move to the Huaihe River area” to move food from nearby counties.

The generals have made a plan and immediately issued an order to the whole army. Tomorrow, three trumpets will be fired as an order. When they hear the cannons, they will immediately rush out of the stronghold and break out in the direction of the Huaihe River.

In a camp, the chief banner officer announced the commander's general order and then turned and left. Two soldiers winked at each other and quietly walked aside.

These two people, one is called Dongfang Liang" and the other is called Yue Junhong. In the battle of Baigouhe, it was this Yue Junhong who brought down the handsome flag and defeated Li Jinglong, who had the upper hand. Zongqi and Baihu managed to break into the officers and soldiers' side, so they were ordered to lurk here all the time.

"Brother Dong, we will break through tomorrow..."

"I know!"

Dongfang Liang put his hands in his sleeves, rubbed his nose with his coat sleeves, and rolled his eyes to look around: "Your Highness, in order to prevent the Southern Army from attacking at night, the place where they camped is not close." If Leng Zi breaks out, the Southern Army will at least be able to escape most of them. .Since I have been a soldier by Li Jinglong's side for a few days, "In the past year, our two brothers have followed Tie Xuan first, then Sheng Yong, and then Ping An. The hard days should come to an end. Let's go back tonight." Your Highness reports. "

The two looked at each other, and laughed slyly" and walked side by side.

"We are pests, we are moths, we hide in the most hidden corners, show the most harmless appearance, and silently eat away the beams and pillars of the host's house, when a gust of wind comes, call it It collapsed with a bang, and I don't even know what happened..."

Early the next morning, soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the village got up one after another, started the fire to cook, and prepared to break out after a full meal. It sounded and echoed in the valley for a long time.

The soldiers of each battalion were stunned: "Have you already begun to break through?"

Those troops that had already assembled reacted quickly, and immediately ran to the camp gate first. Those who reacted slowly understood immediately how dangerous it would be to break out of the siege under the pursuit of the Yan army's cavalry. Those who fell behind In all likelihood, he would have to be captured if he wasn't hacked to death, so he didn't even bother to gather around the chief officer, everyone scrambled to be the first, and rushed forward bravely, just rushing towards the gate of the village.

The senior generals naturally knew that the order to break out had not yet been issued, but at this time, no matter how hoarse they shouted, they could not stop the soldiers who bombed the camp.

Outside the mountain depression, Zhu Di stood on the hillside with a cannon squatting under his feet. His scarlet cloak fluttered with the mountain wind like a red cloud. Seeing the soldiers of the Southern Army pouring out like a tide, Zhu Di smiled slightly and said calmly: " Let half of it go out, and then get stuck on the mountain.!" This battle, if this battle can be regarded as a battle, will be over soon.

More than 37 people, including 150 generals including Li'an, civilian officials and eunuchs who supervised the army, were all captured alive.Originally, they knew that they were the ones who hadn't ordered the breakout, so they were the ones who stayed at the back, so they were naturally caught.Especially Ping An, since he fought with the Yan army, he has been brave and fierce, with more victories and fewer defeats. His capture made the Yan army thunderous.

The two pests have done a good job again!

In the southwest of Yingtianfu, Nanjing, at the junction with Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, there is a Cimu Mountain, which is also called Cimu Mountain and Maoer Mountain by the locals.The mountain is not too high, more than 50 feet, with accumulated stones facing the river, and the bank is steep, but the scenery is beautiful.A kind of osmanthus bamboo is abundant on the mountain, which can be used to make xiaos. The dongxiaos made are famous all over the world for their thick, mellow, bright and long-lasting timbre.

Not far from the foot of the mountain is an official road passing by the southwest of Cimu Mountain, and there are many business travelers on the road.Not far from the official road, there is a small mountain village next to the mountain. Twenty or thirty families make a living by fishing, ferrying, and setting up tea stalls on the roadside. Occasionally, some people go up the mountain to cut old bamboo and send it to the city for sale. , can only make some extra money, and it is not a long-term solution.

The family at the head of the village is named Chen.

Granny Chen, who is over [-] years old, is sitting in her small yard, talking with two girls who are sitting on a ponytail.The two girls were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and one was wearing a bright red jacket. She looked like she had just opened her face. Although she was ordinary in appearance, she also had the smell of a new daughter-in-law who had just received the rain and dew.This girl is Granny Chen's granddaughter, named Bai Xianxian, newly married for three days, and just returned home with her new uncle today.

The other little girl is dressed in rustic clothes and has a rustic hairstyle, but her facial features are very beautiful, she is not as rustic as her attire at all, if she tidies up properly, she will definitely be a disaster-like little beauty, but unfortunately, the pearl is covered in dust.But this is not surprising, there is no mother in the family, and it is normal for a little girl to be a bit sloppy when she lives with two big men, uncle and uncle.

This little girl is Xia Jing, a girl from Granny Chen's neighbor. Originally, there was only one man in the neighbor's house. He came from Henan and lived here for almost a year. Caishiji works as a porter, so he doesn't usually have a lot of family. Last month, his brother brought Xia Jing also came here. It is said that his hometown was hit by a flood.

"Poor thing, the Yellow River doesn't stop. From now on, I will live by the Yangtze River!" said Granny Chen, who lives on water.

The two became acquainted quickly, Xia Jing often visited Granny Chen's house, and became very good friends with Bai Xianxian.Three days ago, Bai Xianxian got married, and when she returned home today, she naturally wanted to visit her boudoir friend.

Granny Chen taught her granddaughter a lesson while holding the soles of her shoes: "When you are married, you must understand the rules. No matter who you are, you must look like a daughter-in-law. Look at you, what's the point of calling each other, then It's your man, can you call it that, if people hear it, they can't laugh at our Bai family without a tutor."

Bai Xianxian pouted and said, "Isn't there no outsiders here?"

"It won't work without outsiders!"

Xia Jing blinked and interjected, "Grandma Chen, what should I call it?"

Granny Chen said: "No matter who you are, you should treat your own man..."

As soon as I said this, someone in the room yelled: "Old woman, old woman, where is my gown, uncle is here, I have to get some wine."

"This immortal!"

Granny Chen stood up and yelled into the room as she walked: "Can't you see the big gown? It's almost under your nose!"

Bai Xianxian and Xia Jing looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and giggled together.

"Ah, my uncle is back!"

After crossing the low wall, Xia Jing suddenly jumped up when she saw two people walking from the official road to the village, and cried happily.

Among the two people who came over, one of them, Bai Xianxian, also recognized him. He was Xia Jing's second uncle, Xia Youcai. He was a very handsome uncle with a slight pimple on his lips.For this reason, when Bai Xianxian had a dream, she dreamed that she had become Xia Jing's second aunt.She didn't recognize the other one. Although she also wore short brown shoes, straw sandals, trouser legs rolled up, and was dressed like a countryman, she knew all twenty or thirty families in the village, but she had never seen this person.

As the man walked, he looked back and forth from time to time, but his shoulders did not move. Bai Xianxian remembered that the storyteller said that looking at things like this is called the eagle watching the wolf, the image of a villain, and she couldn't help laughing with her mouth covered: Let's go, Second Uncle Xia will be watching!"

Thinking of her half-child husband He Yi who was the same age as her, the little girl couldn't help but sighed softly again.

nTwo pests are actually three pairs of six, this new one, guess who it is nj! ~!
