Chapter 367:Preparing for War, Embarking

"Texas City is now Tuen soldiers and horses, people's strong, Ding Yong a total of 60,000 people, of which Texas city garrison 30,000, from the city's ten miles of official road next to the twelve company stationed troops, a little further, forty miles away from the Sanyuankou, is the old city of Anlingu County, where there are also ten thousand soldiers, in addition to the big water, shop officials and other storage of the river warehouse also stationed soldiers, a total of 10,000 soldiers.But for safety reasons, we have moved more than half of the grain to Texas City.”

Luo Guangquan introduced: "These 60,000 people belong to the Texas Guard, Texas Left Guard, Tianjin, Baoding, local regimental exercises, and some officers and soldiers from Qihe, Linyi, Huimin and other counties, in the name of the generals, in fact, because each has a subordinate, not familiar with each other, so it is very difficult to dispatch."

Texas guard command let Luo Guangquan hesitated, would have wanted to corrupt some army army discipline, people's hearts, do not listen to the fear of war timid soldiers and even steal and steal the chaos in the countryside together, but these soldiers will also be present, this statement will be to quarrel with people, so a little hesitation, only to emphasize the fact that each is a difficult matter of dispatch.

Yang Ling sat in the top position, has changed the body of white silk plum ornaments crowing tummy shirt, wearing a flat four-way towel, elegant, rich, no trace of the military commander's majesty, there are civil servants here, in addition to the official history of local government, as well as Jinan, Tai'an and other places sent to listen to the instructions of the envoys, there are these civil servants, Yang Ling is more.

Yang Ling laughed and listened, just nodded his head and did not hesitate.In fact, about the situation in Texas, he has not yet arrived, and his subordinates have already reported back, so there is more to know about the situation here than Luo Guangquan introduced.

He looked at the generals who were sitting in danger and asked, "I heard that Joe's four seas, Joe Cousin, who is also guarding Texas, why didn't he see him?"

Luo Guangquan only thought of Jiangnan Pingyi when Joe joined Zhejiang and fought a war under Yangling.Busy replied: "Return to the grandfather, the original garrison of the twelve city is only more than 3,000 people, for the safety plan, the end will send Joe to join the reinforcement of the twelve city, the state want to see him, the end will immediately find him."

Yang Ling was busy swinging: "No, the enemy is at present, the commander in the army can leave."Let’s talk about business first.Texas has deep walls and strong soldiers.You bravely fought, Yang Hu attacked three times and stood still, and the country's father-in-law had heard of it in Beijing."

Luo Guangquan and the people will listen to each other, and all the faces will be glorious.In fact, Yang Hu attacked the city three times, in order to only grain and grass, that is, he has no clear strategic goal, he has no intention to lay down this connection between the north and the south, through the west and east of the town.So if you can't attack, you turn to him for looting, and the war is not very fierce.

And this time is different, according to Yang Ling's understanding, Yang Hu this person is too big to be shunned.Although there is a name in the green forest, and the martial arts are successful, but the strategy of marching to war is not the director, this time the white army is uncharacteristic.No longer wandering around aimlessly, posing an inevitable trend against Texas and Jinan, and he-states ringing horse-stealing and echoing away, inside and outside the attack, it is clear that the two sides have made contact and reached an agreement on important military operations.

From the flow, instead of trying to occupy Shandong and Shanxi, as a base.Another picture of Henan, the Hebei where Gyeonggi is located into a lonely place, such a grand plan can not think of Yang Hu, the group of horses and thieves do not have this insight, it is estimated that ten ** is out of the idea of Zhao crazy, but now the white army forces in the ring horse theft, but from the good, it seems that Yang Hu's men also have people.Not only agree with the military deployment of Zhao crazy land.It also affected the tiger.

On the one hand, this is a strategy planned by the wise men of the anti-thiopards.On the other hand, this is also the objective need of a team after the growing, they need to establish a stronghold, a base.Even if no one planned, Yang Hu could not imagine now that as his army grew stronger, he would realize this problem sooner or later.

Yang Ling knows that these two anti-thieves have become the heart of the court, but Daming is currently unable to mobilize a large number of troops from the empire to fight against the characteristics of the white army, whether it is financial or military, it is impossible to mobilize a large number of troops from the empire to fight the enemy in Shandong.

The strategy of the court is also because the land is changing at any time, when the white-clothing is weak, Yang Ling and the cabinet agree, are blocking the way out of the white-clothing thieves, and they are all working hard in a battle, fighting Shandong hard, and they must also be eliminated in Shandong.

However, with the increasing strength of the white army, the wolf has become a tiger, and the court can neither do nor the time to gather the country's elite teachers and the country's financial resources to use in Shandong, and even with the complete paralysis of the court's rule in Shandong, it has become a mountain of tigers, so that only forcing the tiger out of the mountain, without giving them a base place.

The evil of the bandits is finally a gangster, it cannot shake the rule of the state, and it has its own base, then they will establish the rule, establish the political system and the law, establish the logistics, and transform the complete destruction into a purposeful construction, which is the most terrible.

The court has been responsible for the wall clear, the provinces each side of the role of the bandit strategy, driving the tiger out of the mountains, although the white army galloped the Central Plains, more disaster places, but first drove them away from the Beijing division, not to make the Beijing Division, Tianzi's house when the time to be trapped in the crisis; two will not cause the Beijing Division around the Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi four provinces will not be completely destroyed by their disaster.

And the driveaways can not only be lacking in their soldiers, frustrated their sharpness, spreading the damage, and recovering the economy after being easily bandit, and making full use of the financial, material and military forces that would consume huge and ineffective localities if they were concentrated, and they were difficult to play.

This is only known to the people in the center of the court, so a cruel decision is impossible to tell the place.If the local government knows that in order to avoid national faltering and to give full play to the power of the country, it is intentional to force them out, the places that have been violated will inevitably have grievances and even changes in the minds of the people.

However, there is no way.Standing high, sometimes, looking at the overall situation, the pains of overall planning and decision-making, the place may not be able to understand.And they are unwilling to implement it for local benefit.Shandong Shanxi, Henan Hebei even if it becomes a human purgatory, there is no other provincial dignitary gentry who suffers from it, has no pain in its skin.There is also no need to supply financial resources without complaint.

If there is a negative response everywhere, and when the anti-throws in the north take advantage of the situation, then the damage to the earth will be more difficult to estimate, and if you do not do so, how many people will have such a long-term view?

Think of the late Ming Dynasty, when the city of Beijing was about to break into the city, the court did not even have military pay to transfer support, and read the books and seen the world's high-ranking officials and nobles in the family of wealth, but still refused to come up with a piece of money.Sitting and waiting for the city to break the mouse's eyelids that were copied by the family can be seen.

These macro-strategy Yang Ling will not tell these generals to listen to, he first praised the bravery of the defenders, and then said: "At present, Zhao crazy hit the slogan of 'Building a Support for the People's Republic of China', and also said that anti-corruption officials, not anti-emperor, in fact, it is just to demagogue the hearts of the people."

He went west to Shanxi, only ten thousand people, but in my opinion.This is a big problem, far from Liu Liu Liu and Yang Hu a group of grassy comparable, so although Texas is in danger, Xu Tai's army is still sent by the court to pursue, do not make him not have to stand in Shanxi.The fire.Therefore, this time, the national government came only thousands of elites, and there was no one soldier.”

His eyes tugged.He said, "That is to say, the siege of Texas and Shandong is difficult, and you have no external force to use, completely dependent on yourself."There is only one head brought by the national government, and it is only for you to advance and retreat together!”

This statement is very strong, that is to say to the generals present to listen to the place, but also to the lonely cities around the state officials who are waiting for help.Their envoys couldn’t help but be amazed.

The crowd will lead a wave, and then stand up, impassioned to show loyalty, Yang Ling smiled faintly, raised his hand to calm down: "Gentlemen, please sit down, in fact, the white army, ringing horse thieves although the blaze is positive, may not be defeated."When I came from the middle of the dynasty, the center sounded to the white army.There have also been some discussions.

There is discussion and.I think the caress are above.The country has been in public care twice, once in Jiangnan.succeeded.Once in the state, it failed.At this time, I am not in favor of caregiving, the morale of the thief is booming, has not tasted a defeat, there is no strong deterrent, how can I force the signing of the alliance under the city?They can only encourage their anger, and they will not be sincere.

And, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while.Gyeonggi-blemed defiant law, poisoned millions.As soon as the court came out, the court was caresed, and all those who had blood had no pain, and from then on the ambitious, the court officers and soldiers had no face to exist.Therefore, the court has decided to fight and die, and the law is not acceptable!”

Yang Ling knew that officials in Liancheng County, and even many generals, were afraid of the white army and the fierceness of horse thieves, and because Yang Ling had touched the horse thief, they all had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the court would recruit a traitor and solve their own troubles, so some local generals and city guards held a wait-and-see attitude, weak combat, and hesitated, so they first said this.

Then Yang Ling stood up and said: "The country first told the current situation, and then announced the court's banditry and Anmin's policy."

Yang Ling Xu limbing into the lobby in the middle, Texas is running through the north and south of the east and west of the main road, trade developed, rich tax, so there is a local government, but here is also an important city for the training of troops, this place has been military control-based, this government is the Texas security command officer, the lobby is very wide.

Yang Ling moved, and the military officials stood up and held their breath to listen.

Yang Ling said: "The horse thief and the white-clad military soldiers have always had a common deceit, that is, the fighting is fierce and cunning, the troops are time-bound, the whereabouts are erratic, and there is no place to live, can fight, can not avoid, so the court officers and soldiers can not achieve the key to it, the thunder hit, a drum and flat."

Moreover, all their supplies were plundered, most of the people were threatened by the chaos, and once the court army encircled, they could not hesitate to abandon all the heavy, war horses, and even the small units surrounded by them, and then fled, waiting for the opportunity and come back, like the jackal dingy dog, to avoid it.

For such a robber, the imperial court army is indeed struggling, we have to raise grain and grass, transport heavy, need to find the main force of horse-stealing land, need to protect every important city and traffic lane, need to take time and energy to plan and coordinate, but also to spend a lot of energy to deal with the aftercare after the flood of the people.

Destruction is always easier than building.Take care of this loss.Some dogs bite the pony and can't get down.If you chase with a small stock of fine riding, even if you catch up, it is not helpful to drink a cup of water.Officers and soldiers in various places have defensive areas, and the difficulty of mobilization is mainly in place, mainly because of the different military powers, which are not the same.Centralized scheduling is difficult.

In addition, the Ming million army, to gargle, to guard the city, and the mainland officers and soldiers due to the high cost is difficult to afford, there are few complete cavalry teams, even with cavalry, but also to ride the mix-based, very dependent on the supply of heavy grain and grass.This is destined to guerrilla warfare is not my long, our strength is to build a city, in case of attack.

In this way, it makes the horse thief and the white army go crazy for a while and take the opportunity to sit big.Now that their forces are growing, completely by plunder, by guerrilla warfare, they can no longer adapt to the needs of the increasingly large army, so they occupy a place.The need for a base area that belongs to them to continue to develop, attacking Texas, Tai'an, and the army surrounding Jinan, trying to hold the whole Shandong in their hands, is the first attempt they made.

In this way, we are given the opportunity to develop our good-keeping powers and try to consume the enemy forces in the defensive war.The enemy is strong and the army is disheartened.This should be communicated to the prefectures and counties and abide by it as one.”

Yang Ling called out and continued: "This is the main requirement of the war on the ground, and there is one more important thing than this matter, that is, it has been destroyed by the white army."State officials must not only guard the city.Ignoring the places where these destructions have gone unchecked.

It is necessary to restore the village, and try to raise food seeds to the villagers to sow, and sow and grab seeds.If you can receive one, with hope, the people will not be forced to follow the white army to kill and steal, and to appoint officials in time to station some troops in a timely manner.There is no need to worry too much about the white army, which is now increasingly ambitious and larger, and will no longer care about the villages that have been looted and broken down on several times.”

“In addition!”Yang Ling's voice was stern, and the generals and civil servants in the hall were one of the tremors, only listening to Yang Ling's sharp voice: "Some of our army, with low combat effectiveness, corrupt military discipline, and even the scourge of the people with bandit bandits, don't think that the country doesn't know."

I now declare that the former will not correct these things, but there will be more offenders, the officials everywhere should be strictly dealt with, the perpetrators of the great evil and great crimes should be dealt with publicly, the punishment should be re-accused, and the punishment should be repeated, and the killing should be ignored!The corruption of their own army is confused, mercenary, fornication of women, how to talk about banditry?They are bandits themselves!

In addition, the guards in the hangings are paid for, and the soldiers who are replaced by the old, weak, sick and impostor are removed, even if they go to the battlefield, they are also driving sheep to the tiger group and die in vain.The father-in-law has invited the Holy Spirit to do things cheaply in various places, recruit some recruits and recruits, and strictly trains to train and train soldiers in war.Command and dispatch unfavorable officials, generals once verified, there is no amnesty!"

Yang Ling said that the killing was tempting, the two eyes were fierce, the people's weapons were horribly eclipsed, and they could not help but say it.Only when they were deceived by the appearance of Yang Ling Ruishan, only to feel that the father-in-law had no shelf, spoke and was angry, and until now, the deeds of the great-grandfather had suddenly recalled from their memory.

Yang beheading, Yang broom, where the blood is raining, Fuzhou City, a day of the first thousand levels, such a sky to kill stars, a big broom, killing cold-blooded demon head without blinking, how not to think of it?

Many officials were shocked and did not shed a cold sweat.

Yang Ling said quietly: "Moreover, the emperor and the court are very concerned about the place, and the court is not blindly tortured by the chaos of the bandits."The national government now announces that when he returns, he will post the list and tell the place: the robbers are not guilty of those who surrender, and those who surrender are not guilty of surrendering, and those who surrender are not guilty of surrendering.At the same time, despite years of military use and financial constraints, the emperor still gave grace to exempt Shandong from one year of money and grain taxes.

This is the court to rest the people, the envoys back to remember to warn local officials, rent exempt, transfer, service should also be controlled, do not arbitrarily command the people's financial and civil service, bandits and chaos, many people to destroy the family, extreme poverty, people can not live, if the government can not appease the rest shirt, but through the war layer to strip, that is to force the people as a band, the white army can be so fast.These soldiers, in turn, turned his head to the ground, stupidly."

Yang Ling eased his tone: "This year's Shaanxi grain harvest, these new grains are both edible and can be planted, later are not afraid of planting, and the deserted people are not careful to fight, these crops are not too expensive, easy to live."

The public has been notified to ship food from Shaanxi, because it is not safe to banditry by land.At the same time, in order to save financial resources and manpower, it was decided to take Jiangnan, the big river into the sea, and then from the sea to Shandong, the food will be stable once the people's heart, which will greatly help the local settlement as soon as possible.Gentlemen, the situation is now in the enemy and not in me.Please help me, people, and help me, and we will overcome the difficulties.”

The officials waved their hands and said, “Yes, I am waiting to comply with the public order of the country.”Together, together, together, we are in trouble.”

Yang Ling nodded, the robe sleeve said: "The horse has attacked Texas City twice, and the country has arrived."They did not know the truth, and then they converged for a while, until it was found that I had not brought a soldier and horse, and would surely attack again.The officials will take care of their own duties and be prepared for war.Tomorrow morning, the military parade in the public school of the country, the ministries are ready for life!”

A sharp chirping, a white arrow generally swept from high altitude.On the generous shoulder, the sharp paws tightly clasped the skin and shoulder, crooked, and looked at the owner.

Dancing wide sleeves, like a bird's sea east.This is a sea-to-green, the size of a magpie, but fierce in nature, can kill swans, beasts and foxes.Because it is not easy to catch.There are “nine dead lives.”“It’s hard to say an eagle.”During the Golden Yuan period, there was even a provision that any criminal who violated the criminal law and was exiled to Liaodong, who could catch Haidong Qing's offering.To be forgiven, to be released.

This Haidongqing is the inner extreme, pure white, known as jade claws, autumn yellow, boliang, three-year dragon and other species are slightly inferior to it.The flower caressed Hai Dongqing's feathers, fed it a piece of fresh meat, and smiled: "The camp account of the Boyan tribe has been found in front, everyone be careful."

“Yes!”After a long journey, everyone was tired, and he could not help but be excited to listen to this command.His son, Ars, passed the order loudly behind.Hua Dang pointed forward: "Their camp account is in the southwest, not ten miles from here."Bayar, you led three thousand cavalry around, blocked their back roads, and now you meet the camping plate, should be the outer tribes of Buryan, do not let them escape, leak the wind."

“Yes!”Bayar licked his lips thickly, clasped the whole steel fork in his hand, led three thousand cavalry, and ran forward in an arc.The team of Huadang was divided into three teams by Bai Yin, Alshu and himself, like a steel fork, and attacked the camp of the Boyan tribe.

The sky is vast, the sky is vast, the sky is green, the sky is a round of sunset has been red as blood, the big army in the blood red sun suddenly accelerated the speed, like the thunder rolling.

The sheepdog "Wang Wang" drove the cattle and herds into the fence, and there was a lot of cooking smoke floating over 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 to die and thrive, a family without more than 20 sheep, it is difficult to maintain a living place.

Bawang is the patriarch of this small tribe, and his family's life is relatively rich, but now the remaining flock is less than thirty, so now he dares not kill cattle and sheep at will, daily consumption in addition to hunting to get the field, but also mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, miscellaneous grains, in order to make use of this year's beautiful water and grass good situation, so that cattle and sheep as much as possible.

He was only forty-five years old, and tall, and though he was knocked on a leg last year when he attacked the Ming border with the attack on the city, riding on an horse did not prevent him from grazing his flock.

He looked at the endless grassland in the south and sighed gently: "This year my son has gone out with Khan again, and has been gone for more than 20 days, and I hope my son is safe and safe, and this time he can take more plunder, food and slaves back."

When there is a shortage of food, wealth, and slaves.How easy it is to plunder the place of the Han people, the Han people are meek like sheep who do not know how to resist, they can only build a city, waiting for our strong bows and arrows, and let us ask for it, and last year...”

He gently shook his head: "I hope that my son does not touch that person, the invincible Buryan Khan, the golden family's bloodline."The most noble and brave warriors, also by his soldiers and horses chased away from the escape, the lives of more than 10,000 fighters ah, why have we ever had such a defeat?If I had not injured my leg and been the first lucky to have returned prisoners and property, my name would have appeared among the miserable dead.”

He sighed and climbed down the horse, a thin and weak little girl timidly rushed over to take the reins of the horse.This is the first girl to be swept back from Datong last year, called Xiao Trier, about fifteen or six years old, originally white and clean very handsome, here is used as a slave day and night service.The face also turned black and red, but it can still be seen that the eyebrows are clear and the bones are slim.

She is a slave to Bawang and a tool for his lust.But Bawang will not be a little more pity because of her handsome, last month she looked after the sheep rams fight, the people are weak and do not know how to separate them, the result is a sheep was killed, the fierce thunder of Bawang put her at a loss, eyes are broken.

Bawang threw her out of the tent without pity, completely without treatment, and was ready to throw her on the grassland to feed the wolf.However, the vile slave's vitality became more and more powerful, and she did not enter the water and rice for three days, but she survived, so she continued to be enslaved by Bawang, working hard for him during the day, and when he needed it at night, he had to bear his nearly two hundred pounds of physical destruction.

Bawang got into the tent, and his wife prepared for dinner.The food at home used to be very good.There are delicious hand-held meats, roasted leges, milk skins, milk tofu, and horse milk wine, but now it is mainly milk tea, fried rice, and wild vegetables.You can open it occasionally.

He sat on his knees on the felt, just holding up a bowl of horse milk wine, the wine in the bowl began to ripple, the ground trembled, like a dense voice, as a young man living on the horse, a real warrior, he immediately recognized that it was the sound of horseshoes, at least enough to run wild.

On the prairie, although there are many horses, even the richest, a family will keep at least dozens of horses, but for the pasture, each tribe is divided into many small tribes, usually separate grazing land, who can concentrate so many horse groups together?Only him, only the great Bo Yan, is his army back?This time it was too fast.

Bawang jumped up excitedly, holding the lame legs and running out of the felt bag, only to see the female slave Cui in the arms holding a bundle of wood scrape standing in the yard, small mouth open, stunned to look at the distance.Bawang subconsciously scolded, “Damn, go do your job.”

If he had not been a few steps away, he would have jumped on and slapped him hard, and now he had scolded only one word, and hastened to look in the direction of the horseshoes.At this point, Ba Wang was stupid, first of all a snow-white eagle falconry, generally passing in front of the felt bag, followed by countless horses, like a huge wave that destroyed everything, passing by him.

Bawang strong and tall earth body at this moment like a leaf in a huge wave, if not the thousands of horses deliberately opened the felt bag and the human and animal, he will be stepped into a piece of mud.She squatted on the ground, her hands on her head, and her face pale.

The cry converged into a terrible sound far away, but this sound has made the men in the more than a dozen feltbags completely lost the courage to resist, they are unable to accompany the army expedition of the old and weak, even if not, they are not able to fight against such a powerful horse.

Although they are all descendants of Meng Yuan, but each other's dress, the use of bow and arrow spears, there is still a little difference, Bawang is a long-standing fighter, but also followed the face of the attack on the three guards, he recognized that it is the face of the three guards of the people.

“Oh my God!So many people, the elite soldiers of the three guards of Doyan also poured out their nests, and they dared to attack... No, this is a complete plunder, plundering the tribe of Bo Yan!”Bawang was in despair.

The people behind the horse slowed down significantly, although it was only a small tribe, but their habits were like this, the forwards only charge, washed away everything that tried to stop them, and would not be affected by the sharp attack formation of the whole team for plunder, these work of collecting the spoils, the people behind them were responsible.

The two horses stopped in front of them, and the people at once were wearing earthy yellow fat Mongolian robes, right-hand, oblique, high-necked, long-sleeved, pedaled boots, tight belts, very burly.Their swords were still inserted in their waists, and they only had horses whips in their hands, and they were still idle.

"From now on, you are our slave," said the knight, with his horse-wracking finger, the little girl who had fallen to the ground in terror.Then he pointed to Bawang: “And you, hand over your knife and bow and arrow.”From this day forward, you, like her, are our slave.”

Several strong bows, quiver and Mongolian knives, and a steel fork of a weed and a wolf, all possible weapons were streaked, and his woman and his slaves were found.Other people were also concentrated, because his felt bag was the largest of the dozen shepherds.

Ma Quan was taken away, became a backup mount for the Dorian Sanwei warrior, followed closely, Bawang looked at his property with pain, those carefully raised sheep, easily killed by the soldiers with a knife, removed the skin, removed the internal organs, and then divided into a few pounds of fresh meat, and then ignited in the pot at the bottom of his stove.

All the sheep, not one left.They are predatory warriors, not brought to the raising.

The light in Bawang's eyes was dim, and now these soldiers of the three guards let him escape, he did not know how to live, lost these cattle and sheep, their family only starved to death, or ... to be slaves.

Ba Wang subconsciously looked at the Cui girl who had not been seen by him, and there was a sad and desperate smile on his face.He hung his head in silence, then a pair of boots came up to him, and then he saw a young warrior smile and say hello to him:

Hi, brother, tell me that the other camping tribes are roughly in the direction, and the effort of the province.Especially . . . in the tribal camp of Empress Serimudhor, who heard that the first beauties on our steppe had not accompanied the old man of Bo Yan?”
