Blood from Daming

Chapter 671 Xuanhua City

On the evening of July 23, in Xuanhua City, Xuanda Governor's Mansion, Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu, Xuanfu Governor Qin Shiwen, Xuanda Inspector Wang Yu, Zhang Suyang, Xuanfu Chief Soldier Hou Shilu, and guest general Qu Jiazhen were discussing matters , to discuss the Flying Eagle Flag’s massive invasion of Wanquan Youwei, but everyone has discussed it for an hour and there is still no contingency plan.

Governor of the Xuan Mansion, Qin Shiwen, was in poor health and could not stand such a long meeting. Governor Zhang Pu asked his servants to bring quilts to Mr. Qin, and let Mr. Qin lie down halfway to continue to participate in the discussion. Zhang Pu mobilized the elite of Xuanfu to deal a heavy blow to Feiyingqi, but the others either opposed or remained silent.

Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, was the most opposed to sending troops. The reason was that the Xuanfu had no soldiers at all. There are 15 members. Except for those who escaped during the festival, there are actually 450 members of the army.The original amount was 270 four horses. Except for the exception of the festival year, the actual horses were [-] horses. After Saarhu, he frequently sent troops to Liaodong, and now even half of the official army horses in the Longqing period are barely enough. "

That is, the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu are all old and weak soldiers who were eliminated from the expedition to Liaodong. Xuanfu is no longer the "head of the nine towns" in the past. The key pass accounted for more than [-]% of the total number of soldiers and horses in Xuanfu. Now Xuanfu Town has no mobile force to fight at all.

According to Zhang Suyang's reasons for opposing the initiative to attack the Flying Eagle Flag, Xuan Daxun sounds a little unreliable on the surface. Zhang Suyang said that more than half of the Xuanfu's salary is supported by the taxes of Datong Prefecture. If the two towns of Xuanda are in a mess, I am afraid that next year's taxation will become a problem, but everyone knows that Zhang Suyang has something else to say.

Zhang Pu, Governor of Xuanda, sighed and said: "Because the Xuanfu supported Liaodong Town to fight against Jianlu, its own military and economic strength was greatly damaged, and Datong Town was too big to lose, and it was outside the control of my Xuanda Governor's Mansion. Hey, General Qu You can talk about it too."

Qu Jiazhen shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, the last general was invited to listen, do you have any good ideas?"

Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu said: "General Qu, you are familiar with Flying Eagle Flags, please tell us what you think of them."

Qu Jiazhen still shook his head resolutely, so the meeting of Xuanda Governor's Mansion could not go on, and all the officials present at the meeting went back to the mansion. As soon as Jiazhen walked to the door of the meeting hall, he was stopped by the servant of Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu, and Qu Jiazhen had to go to meet Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu alone.

Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu sat with Qu Jiazhen for a long time before saying: "General Qu, there is no third person here. I hope General Qu can give me some good advice."

Qu Jiazhen was silent for a while and said: "My lord, the last general is still the old saying, with no change to meet all changes, let Feiyingqi wander around Wanquan and Zhangjiakou, and when they have had enough trouble, they will naturally leave."

Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu said: "General Qu, this Governor has the responsibility of guarding the land. Once a city falls, the imperial court's Tiqi will come upon hearing the news. That is waiting for the Governor. Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Prison."

Qu Jiazhen said: "My lord, the businessmen in Zhangjiakou caused the disaster. I'm afraid no one will be able to save them this time. If your lord is willing to abandon Zhangjiakou Fort, there will be a way to make Feiyingqi retreat."

Xuanda governor Zhang Pu said in surprise: "General Qu, you mean that the Flying Eagle flag is set in Zhangjiakou Fort."

Qu Jiazhen said: "My lord, this time it's a dead end. The Flying Eagle Flag will not destroy the Zhangjiakou Merchant Group and will not let it go. Even the Xuanfu may have the Flying Eagle Flag come and go."

Xuanda governor Zhang Pu said: "General Qu means that the Flying Eagle flag is aimed at Fan Yongdou."

Qu Jiazhen nodded and said: "My lord, the toughness of the Flying Eagle Flag's backstage is obvious to all. This time the heavy troops are suppressing the situation for revenge. They will never easily let go of the enemy who dares to resist. Other irrelevant people should be fine."

Zhang Pu, Governor of Xuanda, said: "General Qu, the day before yesterday you refused to send troops to help the militia destroy the Feiying Banner, and you still believed that the Feiying Banner was ordered by Datong Xue Yun, but how could Xue Yun gather tens of thousands of Mongols in one day?" What about the cavalry?"

Qu Jiazhen smiled bleakly: "My lord, the militia has been thinking about Xue Yun for the past two years. Apart from him pretending to be sick and lurking in Datong, he has a major interest combination with the Chahar Ministry of Mongolia. This time Xue Yun led the troops to go north. Fighting against the Mongolian invasion is just a cover to avoid General Cao Wenzhao, the Flying Eagle Flag and the Mongolian Army are Xue Yun's means to check and balance the imperial court, as long as Cao Wenzhao returns to Xuanda, we will pay in advance and everything will be smooth."

Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu thought for a while and said: "The emperor loves Xue Yun very much. At the beginning, Xue Yun really failed the emperor. If Hou Zongbing, Cao Jiajun and your general Qu join forces, can Xue Yun's Flying Eagle Qi suffers from being dumb."

Qu Jiazhen said: "My lord, at Fengzhen in the north of Datong, the Xue family army and the Mongolian army are probably playing an empty city plan, and they will gather in our Xuanfu in the next few days. Hey, why did such a monster appear in Daming?"

Governor of Xuanda Zhang Pu and Qu Jiazhen were relatively silent. After a while, Governor of Xuanda Zhang Pucai said: "The soldiers and civilians in Xuanfu know what those businessmen in Zhangjiakou are doing in private, so let Xue Yun, a villain, Come and grind them, these two days we just sit at the city gate and watch the scenery."

Three days later, on the evening of July 26, Xuanda governor Zhang Pu, Xuanda inspectors Wang Yu, Zhang Suyang, Xuanfu commander Hou Shilu and Qu Jiazhen gathered at the Xuanda governor's mansion. He asked for sick leave, but the guest general, Qu Jiazhen, did not show up. Xuanda Governor Zhang Puxin said that Qu Jiazhen's judgment was accurate, and that Flying Eagle Banner was only targeting the businessmen in Zhangjiakou, and did not use weapons against the officers and soldiers of Wanquan City.

Although Wanquan City is fine, but Zhangjiakou Fort and Laiyuan Fort are in serious trouble. Those merchants who ambushed Flying Eagle Flag are unlikely to be willing to take the risk of leaving by themselves, rather than being dragged down, like Boss Lu in Wanquan City. The soldiers and civilians of Wanquan City are one city, so the soldiers and civilians of Zhangjiakou Fort and Laiyuan Fort may not be as lucky as the soldiers and civilians of Wanquan City.

Zhang Pu, governor of Xuanda, was annoyed by Wang Yu, the governor of Xuanda. Since you were forced by Fan Yongdou, Zhang Pu was going to trick Wang Yu: "Master Wang, since you said that shopkeeper Fan is willing to give up his family for the country, and invest To recruit militiamen to fight against the Flying Eagle Flag, the governor appointed Master Fan as the leader of the militia, and Mr. Wang as the supervisor of the army. He recruited troops on the third day and rectified them on the first day. On the fifth day, he set off to the north. The camera cooperated with Zhangjiakou Fort and Laiyuan Fort to annihilate the Flying Eagle Flag. "

When Wang Yu heard that the governor wanted to get rid of the burden, Xuan Daxun dumped Fan Yongdou out of Xuanhua City as garbage. Because he was close to Fan Yongdou, he often asked the governor to send troops, which offended the governor so much that he set himself up as well. In Fan Yongdou, this pile of garbage was thrown out together.

Xuan Daxun followed Wang Yu's bitter face and said: "My lord, how could Fan Yongdou, a businessman, be able to fight against tens of thousands of Flying Eagle Flags? I'm afraid I can't do this."

Zhang Pu, governor of Xuanda, sneered: "Fan Yongdou is just a businessman. A businessman leads tens of thousands of civilian troops to fight. This is not much different from rebellion. Isn't he Fan Yongdou very capable? Why did he escape to Xuanhua City alone? Why? Instead of sharing weal and woe with those fellow party members in Zhangjiakoubao, Hou Zongbing, you are in charge of getting Fan Yongdou and his militia out of Xuanhua City within three days."

Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, quickly agreed to come down, and Xuan Daxun said according to Wang Yu: "My lord, the lower officials are not familiar with military affairs, so it is really inappropriate to take up the post of supervisor of the army. Please choose another wise man."

Zhang Pu, Governor of Xuanda, said: "Master Wang, as long as you cooperate with General Hou and invite Fan Yongdou and his militia out of Xuanhua City within three days, you can go and talk with Fan Yongdou if you want to be the supervisor of the army."

According to Wang Yu, Xuan Daxun shook his head and said nothing again. Zhang Pu, the governor of Xuan Daxun, said kindly to Xuan Daxun according to Zhang Suyang: "Master Zhang, General Cao Wenzhao from the capital has been injured for more than ten days under the city of Datong. Sleeping in the open is not conducive to General Cao's recovery, Master Zhang went to persuade General Cao with kind words, and be sure to ask him to return to Xuanhua City or Beijing City to recover from his injuries, we must protect generals like General Cao for the emperor."

According to Zhang Suyang's heart, Xuan Daxun said that it is not easy to survive. This clearly made Cao Wenzhao die of his desire to be the commander-in-chief of Datong Town. Even though Zhao hates him so much, he still does this thankless dirty work.

According to Zhang Suyang, Zhang Suyang saw the bear face of his colleague Wang Yu, and he agreed without hesitation. As for Datong City, please go back to Cao Wenzhao, that is another matter. Going to Datong Mansion is at least better than going. Going to the north of Xuanfu is much safer, so it should be a field trip.

After Xuanda Governor Zhang Pu adjourned the meeting, Fan Yongdou got the news from Xuanda Xunban Wang Yu at the first time. The Governor asked him to be the leader of the militia, recruited troops within three days, and set off northward to deal with Feiyingqi on the fifth day. Where Fan Yongdou was asked to deal with Feiyingqi, it was clearly asked Fan Yongdou to go to Feiyingqi to die.

Fan Yongdou is so angry, good Zhang Pu, you kicked me, Fan Yongdou, out of Xuanhua City in order to prevent Flying Eagle Flag from going south to Xuanhua City to cause trouble. The two or three thousand militiamen in his hands made a big noise in Xuanhua City, at worst they would go to Huang Taiji and become a high-ranking official in Shengjing of the Kingdom of Jin, just like his uncle.
