Chapter 176(1/2)
Yang He was prepared for sending troops to fight and knew that he had to go to Suining.
After receiving the letter, he gave the reward silver and sent the messenger away, telling him that he would go to Suining County to rest assured, and then summoned all officers and chief supervisors to discuss matters urgently.
Everyone squeezed Yanghe public houses and filled the house. This public house was the third floor of the theater. It was not large in area and there were not many chairs in the house. So there were only two general managers, and several general managers had seats, and the rest were standing.
However, Master Jiu also has a chair, and Inspection Officer Deng was invited to discuss matters. His obese body was pressed on the chair, as if he was about to crush the seat.
Yang He asked him to come, mainly to ask him to contact his younger brother to prepare a boat. There are many people crossing the river tomorrow, so the inspector's ship is afraid that it will be too busy.
Looking at the crowded room full of people, with either excited or nervous expressions in their eyes, Yang He said in a deep voice: "The bandits have appeared in Lingbi, so we must go to Suining. Let's sort it out today and set off early tomorrow morning. When we set off, I will lead two general soldiers, as well as guards, sentry teams, cavalry teams, grenade teams, medical teams, baggage teams and other teams to move. The rest of the people stayed in Xin'anzhuang and Jiaoshan Villa. Our farming and work cannot be stopped, so what should we do or what should we do."
The people in the room were solemnly receiving the order, and Minister Yang and others showed excited expressions on their faces, and they were finally about to start a war with the bandits!
Zhang Chugong opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He also wanted to follow the battle. Unfortunately, he was the head of the Works Department and had a lot of things in the village, but he could not go to Suining.
His younger brothers Zhang Chujing and Zhang Chuxun stood behind him. Zhang Chujing was eager to try and wanted to speak several times, but Zhang Chuxun was calmer.
Inspection Officer Deng said, "Hey, where is the official? Why didn't the lord arrange for the official to go with you?"
Every time I fight with Yang He, it is beneficial, so this fat inspector is quite tempted.
Yang He said: "After all, the world is not peaceful, and everyone in our village cannot be taken away. Although there is nothing wrong with the north bank now and there is no threat around it. But there may be some thieves. The two teams of archers must stay to guard against patrols, especially not letting the thieves cross the river. The market is even more inseparable from Lord Deng, so Lord Deng will sit in the north bank."
He persuaded the fat inspector and asked him to go back and contact his younger brother, Guan Deng, immediately, and not delay the army crossing the river tomorrow.
Then he said to Qi Youxin and others: "After the army was launched, the north bank was relatively empty, so Lao Qi and Brother Zhang, you should be optimistic about our homeland and urge production to not let the civil affairs here pause. If anyone dares to make trouble and incite rumors, just kill them!"
Speaking of this, his tone was filled with a hint of coldness.
Qi Youxin was furious and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates, Mr. Yan, Brother Zhang and others will definitely be optimistic about their homeland and not let this area stop randomly."
Zhang Chugong and others also made a loud promise.
Yang He nodded. He knew Qi Youxin. He was smart, sleek, ruthless, and quite capable. At the same time, he had the cooperation of Zhang Chugong and others. They were in charge of Xin'anzhuang and other places, so he could go out to fight with confidence.
At the same time, he also saw the expressions of the three brothers Zhang Chugong. Their thoughts and desires him to understand that it is indeed a waste to regard them as craftsmen, but at present, the weapons and firearms cannot be separated from them. He just hopes to recruit more craftsmen in the future and liberate them.
Next, Yang He explained some things, mainly about the Military Affairs Hall. For example, the Military Inspector continued to make armored firearms, and the Equipment Institution continued to train migrant workers in the village. If there were suitable candidates, they would be included in the recruit camp as a supplement to future baggage and combat soldiers.
At present, their supervisors are Zhang Chuxun and Hu Jue, but the general manager Han Daxia followed him out to fight, and the deputy general manager Luo Xianjue and Yang Qian also followed him. Yang He asked the two to believe in Qi Youxin, Yan Dezheng, and discuss the handling.
As members of the Council of the Council, Qi Yan and the others had the right to inquire about the affairs of the Council of the Council of the Council. Yang He was leading the army outside, so they took care of these matters.
He also said some errands, such as the refugees who came, they would be sheltered as they were. The Household Affairs Hall was like, and the Work Affairs Hall planned and did the same thing, which made Qi Youxin and others calm down a little panic.
Everyone suddenly realized that the framework of Xin'anzhuang had already been formed and had the ability to operate itself.
Jiu Ye sat by the side and listened. He was in the observation and study stage and rarely expressed any opinions. However, when Yang Xianggong led his troops out, Xin'an Village was still in order and well-organized, and would not suddenly become messy. The formation of such rules and regulations made him admire him.
Qian Sanniang stood quietly beside him, glanced at Yang He and then.
Everyone discussed the arrangement. As time passed, there was a passionate feeling in the house. As early as the first month of planning, Yang He identified the situation of the Ming Dynasty and the current environment around Xin'anzhuang, and explained the need for continuous development and growth.
Sure enough, Mr. Yang said it well. The thief is coming, his lips are gone and his teeth are cold. If he cannot block them under Suining City, what should he do if the thief crosses the river?
They were all like locusts, and no grass was left wherever they passed. Everyone could not imagine the consequences of being robbed by bandits on the north bank.
Moreover, according to the plan, the grain and silver deposits in the village have been included in the budget. If you don’t think of a solution to the thief, what should you do next year?
Therefore, although everyone was a little nervous about sending troops, they were more expectant and excited.
Qi Youxin also said: "My husband crossed the river to fight, this is for our Zhuangzi, but will he bring less people? There are only about 650 people."
Yang He said: "At present, we have only so many troops. There is no way, and the archers must stay... So we can only see clearly how many thieves are. If there are few thieves coming to Suining, or if some vanguard troops are rampant, we will ambush them in the wild and destroy them. If there are many people..."
He shook his head. At present, the troops under his command, except for the officers in the battalion, the flag bearer, the golden drummer, and the trumpeter, are just the two general soldiers.
They took ten people as one team and five people as one team, each team had one team leader, two teams, and a flag bearer, and a team of fifty-five people.
There are four teams in one group, one and two teams in the firearms team, and three and four teams in the killer team. Each team has one group, two deputy teams, one flag bearer, one golden drummer, and five guards. Including the officer flag bearer, there are two hundred and thirty people in total, and two totals are four hundred and sixty people.
There is also a direct subordinate to the battalion department:
The three-in-one team of the escort of the assault army, captain Chen Qiuao, deputy team Wang Dayi, Lei Li, all twenty people were iron armored soldiers.
The Grenadier Team also has a captain one and a deputy second team, with a total of twenty-three people.
The baggage team also has a captain one, a deputy two, and a team of fifty-three. They are still in a mixed-style mode, two armored firearms, two armored swords and shields, and one armored spear.
The medical team and the captain team have thirty associate doctor apprentices.
Then there were ten people in the sentry team.
Fifty cavalry teams.
Finally, there were two archers patrolling the public security patrol, each with one captain and one deputy, with a total of more than one hundred people.
At present, Yang He's armed forces have only about these 750 people.
Of course, he still has thousands of workers in various work teams, and he also lined up to practice in his spare time.
In this battle, except for the archers and others, he took the rest of the battle away. After all, the thieves are powerful and there are fewer people.
But even if he took away most of his power, he was only 650 people, and the soldiers took them away. Only the old and weak in Xin'an Village were left, and only the workers in Jiaoshan Village were left.
Fortunately, I have followed Yang He for a long time. Although the old and weak women left behind in Xin'an Village, they should not be underestimated. In addition to being able to fight and kill, they also have more than 100 excellent firearms in the village. The interior is still very sharp, and the breeze-backed Xin'an gun is more than enough to guard the village.
In Jiaoshan Villa, the people who are recruited are all young and strong, and they have always been militarized. They also have shield and spear equipment for training during normal times, so they can also guard the village.
He also kept two teams of archers, most of which were sharp archers recruited by each village, and the backbone was veterans from Xin'an Village. Apart from the lack of firearms, the rest were no different from war soldiers.
For the time being, there is no major threat to the North Bank. The village people guard the village and produce, the archers patrol the public security, and deal with small groups of bandits and thieves.
But overall, Yang He currently has few troops, and the number of people who can take away the war is only more than 600.
This is based on the peace and stability of the North Bank!
Yang He sighed in his heart, it is difficult to develop. As he knows, the fierce battles will continue in the future.
Not to mention anything else, in the first half of this year, the bandits who spied into Lingbi, Suining and other places were not just Li Zicheng but Luo Rucai's troops.
Ge Zuo, Zhang Xianzhong and others may also be involved in this.
There is a saying in history: "In April of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the King of Jin returned together, and the bandits were sold to Yingzhou for twenty miles in a row to fight against the battle of Shouzhou. The two sides fought in Fanjiadian, the bandits failed and retreated, plundering Meng, Su, Ling, Hong, and Sui and crossing Huai."
Today is February 30th, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and tomorrow is March 1st.
Even if Li Zicheng and other troops were repelled in March, Zhang Xianzhong and others came again in April and May.
There is a battle to fight.
I have so little capital, so I have to be cautious and cautious every time I fight a war.
This is also because he set up his base on the north shore, where the south shore was full of soldiers, bandits and bandits, and production could not be developed at all.
However, looking around everyone, Yang He became ambitious and wanted to escape last year. He was surrounded by a book boy, with three young brothers and sisters. Now he has a land of two villages, with 700 elite soldiers, forty men in armor, and sixty horses.
In the future, he will have more troops and greater territory, and the better his momentum will develop!
He slowly looked around everyone and said in a deep voice: "For my Xin'anzhuang, everyone, work hard!"
...
On March 1, 15th year of Chongzhen, Yang He personally led an army of 650 to Suining City.
It was Taosun that the Yellow River waters surged and flowed eastward, which made people shocked to see it.
Fortunately, the Yellow River did not freeze last year and did not form a flood. It is still possible for a large ship to cross the river, but you must be careful.
It is no joke that crossing the Yellow River is more than ten miles wide, with strong winds and waves. If the boat capsizes accidentally, Yang He will definitely not be able to survive no matter how lucky he is.
In fact, although the water flow here is smooth, the capsizing has happened.
Fortunately, there was no danger. The inspection department and the delivery office were all dispatched by large ships.
At noon, Yang He and his group of 650 people all crossed the Yellow River and rushed to Suining County.
...
It was just a shower, and water was still dripping outside the eaves.
It is still spring cold and it is full of moisture, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
In the living room of the magistrate's magistrate Gao Qifeng frowned and held his forehead with his hands, but he was still worried. The chief clerk Zheng Shixin sat anxiously. The tea on the table had already cold, and he had no intention of taking a sip. He looked helplessly at the uninvited county magistrate Liu Zunhe.
There is also the Dianshi Wei Kungang...
At this time, Wei Dianshi was chattering: "The more refugees fleeing to Suining, all parties said that the bandits had arrived in Lingbi, and the bandits had arrived in Lingbi! Maybe when will they arrive at the city of Suining? But the city defense is at the critical moment. Where is our Lord Yang? He kept beating that he had hundreds of troops and kept paying money from the county warehouse. But when he saw the real scene, where did others go? Or did he not take the people of our Suining City in his heart at all?"
Gao Qifeng was still silent. He was discussing with Zheng Zhuan. The two of them rushed into his private party uninvited.
Especially Wei Kungang, a mere classic, dared to shout and roar at his old parents in his county.
He also knew that the enemy army was approaching, and many people in the county were in trouble. Rich merchants had been fleeing to Pizhou City with various excuses, but they were the officials who ordered the government to guard the territory, but they could not escape.
Otherwise, even if the bandits didn't want their heads, the emperor would kill them without hesitation afterwards.
Therefore, they must strictly guard the city.
But can the more than 100 civil servants in Suining City really defend the city?
How many prefectures and counties have been captured, and there are even prefectures that Suining can defend?
Everyone has no idea.
To be continued...
