Chapter 2151 Gui Zi Juan Man Gui takes on a big responsibility in times of crisis

 ???????? Mangui was irritated, pacing back and forth in the garrison with fear and a little excitement. He took out the saber from his waist, flicked the blade twice with his fingers, and finally sighed.

After taking a breath, he inserted the knife into the scabbard again.

His rough hands were like a pair of iron pliers, with the jaws and palms firmly holding the handle of the knife. Only by feeling the solidity brought by the handle could he feel at ease.

?????????"Cao Er!"

"Here! Sir, what's wrong?" A tough-looking soldier came in from outside the door. He had a stocky and generous figure, but his eyes were very lively. "Ma San and the others haven't come back yet?"

????????"Sir, how can it be so fast?" Cao Er said cheerfully: "How long have they been walking? It's not even two hours. At this time, they can only go as far as Mingtiao Gang. If they want to come back, at least

it is midnight."

"Is it so difficult to walk through Mingtiao Gang?" Man Guiqi hummed, "I don't know how many times I've walked through it, and every time it didn't take half an hour to pass?"

???????? Seeing that his boss was a bit arrogant, Cao Er grinned and said, "Sir, that was usually riding by on horseback, but it is different now. The rebels are coming. Ma San and the others must investigate carefully. Really?"

You are worried about coming back too soon. The vegetation on Mingtiao Hill is lush, and there are many divergent paths. Even the locals may not be able to know all the roads. Ma San and others are the most familiar, so don't worry.

"

????????Mingtiao Gang is also called Mingtiao Gang. It is said that Shun died of illness and was buried on Mingtiao Gang during his southern tour. The Battle of Mingtiao was the battle between Shang Tang and Xia Jie, and it was also at Mingtiao Gang.

superior.

Man Gui also knew that he could no longer hold his breath. Man Gui sighed and waved his hand, signaling Cao Er to go down. He was the only one left in the hall again.

His ancestral home is Yanzhou, but he grew up in Xuanfu. He originally wanted to join the army in Xuanfu, but he didn't expect that when his father was about to die a few years ago, his father entrusted him to work in Shanxi Town.

An old subordinate did not allow him to join the army in Xuanfu Town.

?????????That's fine, but my father's old subordinate was deprived of his official position because he offended his boss. He had already gained a reputation in Shanxi Town for his proficiency in bowing and horsemanship, his boldness and carefulness, and he was kicked.

He was kicked out of Shanxi Town and sent to Shanxi Dusizhong to serve, and then went to Puzhou Shouyu Ganhu Office as Qianzong.

????????The official system of the Zhou army was a bit confusing. The hierarchies between the garrison, the general manager, and the general were rather blurred, and sometimes the gap between them was not that big.

?????????He was originally the commander-in-chief in Shanxi Town, but after he arrived in the Guards Army, he was promoted half a level and became the commander-in-chief. In fact, he was a commander-in-chief, in charge of one department and one department.

The corps can be either the cadre general or the general general, depending on his seniority and military merit. Mangui came from the border army, so naturally he was a strong man among the five troops of the first battalion originally stationed in Siyancheng. In addition to the defense

The perfect choice outside.

????????As Shanxi Town suffered heavy losses in the First World War in Shandong, Chai Guozhu re-recruited various units of the Shanxi Dusi Guards to strengthen the Shanxi Town border army. One battalion of the two battalions in Puzhou was removed, and the Puzhou garrison was

Without being able to go, it was the turn of Si Yancheng's garrison battalion to mobilize troops and horses to the north and transform into frontier troops. Only the remaining three groups of more than 2,000 people were left, represented by General Qian Mangui.

Defense leadership.

?????????Man Gui was filled with envy, but she also knew that it was not her turn yet.

?????????He joined the army before he was thirteen years old. He is not yet twenty years old now. After more than six years of military service, he has become the leader of more than 600 people. That is by relying on his sword and gun.

Those who came out are now acting as guards. Although they are guards, they are already quite powerful.

?????????I originally thought that I would just guard the warehouse salt and salt class silver in this city of Si Yan. With more than two thousand guards stationed here, Man Gui really never thought that anyone would dare to risk the world.

Dabulei came to rob, but after the Shaanxi rebels crossed Longmen and crossed into Shanxi, the entire situation in southern Shanxi suddenly changed.

????????First Hejin and Ronghe fell, but the distance was still so far away. Although Mangui felt a little nervous, he was still determined. But as Jishan and Wanquan were also captured by the rebels,

After the reinforcements from the northern frontier army failed to arrive, Mangui became unable to sit still.

With the fall of the Yi family, Mangui knew that Anyi would inevitably be baptized by war, and Anyi County was definitely not the first choice for the rebel army. Si Yancheng and Shenghui Town were the first choice.

Yes, the warehouse salt and salt tax silver in these two places are undoubtedly the most attractive to the attention of the rebels.

????????As soon as he learned that the Yi clan had fallen, he sent out the first round of scouts and sentinels

????????, but the news he got back was scattered and incomplete, so he sent out Ma San and his most trusted soldiers. In order to figure out the enemy's movements, he could consider how to

response.

Mangui also knew that if he waited like this, he would be waiting for death. The number of rebels would only get bigger and bigger. Even if they failed to attack once, there would be a second and third time. Si Yancheng is not a big city.

, a city wall more than ten feet high can protect against thieves, but it is not worth mentioning to the rebels. More than two thousand guards can be sure to deal with three to five thousand rebels in Mangui, but tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of rebels

Woolen cloth?

Mangui knew very well that the result of holding on would be one, the entire army would be annihilated, unless the Shanxi Army in the north could arrive in time.

????????But according to what he learned, the Shanxi Army's southward forward has not even reached Pingyang. At this speed, if they reach Anyi, they are afraid that their bodies will be eaten by wild dogs until only a few bones are left.

Already.

?????????Looking for help from Puzhou?

It doesn't mean much. There are only two groups with more than a thousand people left there, and the defense of Puzhou is stretched thin. If we really encounter the main force of the rebel army, we will only lose our lives.

????????The other option is to ask for help from the surrounding areas. But the surrounding areas are too far away. The nearest one is Pingyang Guard.

?????????But Pingyang Guards, like Puzhou Guards, have long been replenished and redeployed by Shanxi Town. Of the original five battalions of guards, two battalions were taken away by Shanxi Town, leaving one of the remaining three battalions originally.

They were scattered and stationed in Yonghe, Jizhou and Hejin. The Hejin group was destroyed when the rebel army crossed the river, and the remaining troops are still guarding Jizhou and Yonghe.

????????There are two battalions left. One battalion was originally guarding Jiangzhou, but now it seems that Jiangzhou has fallen. This battalion is probably in danger. The other battalion is stationed in Linfen.

If this battalion comes out, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky, and Pingyang Mansion will not agree.

?????????Except for Pingyang Guard, there are only Ningshan Guard and Luzhou Guard.

?????????The Luzhou Guard is too far away, and water from far away cannot quench the thirst of those near you. The Ningshan Guard is not close either, but a dead horse is a living horse. Mangui has already asked for help from the Ningshan Guard. Can you come to rescue?

In other words, it’s too late, so it’s up to God.

????????Then there is the need to cross provinces, Tongguanwei in Shaanxi and Hongnongwei in Henan.

The Hongnong Guard in Henan is the closest, located in Shaanzhou across the river from Pinglu, but Mangui knows that the combat effectiveness of the Henan Guard should be the worst among the Central Guards in the five northern provinces.

It is worse than the guards of Shaanxi Dusi. It is more reliable to rely on the guards of Hongnong Guard than to recruit local people.

?????????In addition to Hongnong Guard, there is Tongguan Guard in Shaanxi.

The Tongguan Guards are also a little further away, further than the Puzhou Guards. If you want to come for reinforcements, you need to cross the river via Fengling, so the distance is not close.

There is only one battalion of Tongguan Guards stationed there, which is not as strong as the one in Puzhou Station. This also shows that the Shaanxi Dusi Guard Station's garrison is weak.

????????However, the combat effectiveness of the Tongguan Guards battalion is not weak. General Qian Zhao Qianshan is skilled in bow and horse, brave and cunning, so Xie Zhenye put them here to garrison, that is, he is optimistic about this guy.

?????????It would be too difficult to get Tongguan Guard to send troops across the Yellow River to reinforce themselves here. Not to mention that Shaanxi Dusi would not agree. Even if Zhao Qianshan really wanted to come to help, the distance is so far and he still has to cross the Yellow River. Zhao Qianshan

No matter how brave and warlike he is, he probably wouldn't dare to act so boldly.

????????However, Mangui still sent messengers to Tongguan and Hongnong. Regardless of whether there are dates or not, what if they can come?

????????"Sir, the Salt Transport Envoy Si Yamen has come." Cao Er came in again and said in a sly manner: "It seems that he is a little panicked. I told them to make preparations earlier and move the warehouse."

The salt and salt class money were transferred to Zezhou, but they refused. Now it’s good. It’s too late to transfer it. It’s useless to come to us now. It’s better to give it to the brothers.”

????????"Asshole!" Man Gui scolded. If these words were spread, it would not be considered as colluding with the rebels. "Why don't you go out and invite them in? By the way, yes

Who is here?"

"It's Tongzhi and a judge." Cao Er replied.

????????The salt transport department in the Zhou Dynasty has different settings in different places. Generally, there is one salt transporter, from the third rank, one from Tongzhi, one from the fourth rank, one deputy envoy, one from the fifth rank, and several judges.

Sixth grade, they also have experience and governors, but above these officials there is a salt patrol censor, who is really in charge of the power, and the salt transport envoys are only the second in command responsible for execution.

????????same

????????Generally, the magistrate and the deputy envoy are not set at the same time, but one of the two is chosen. If there is a tongzhi, there will usually be no deputy envoy. If there is no tongzhi, a deputy envoy will be set up to assist the salt transport envoy in carrying out specific affairs.

?????????However, in the east of Hedong, the Salt Patrol Censor of the Shaanxi Salt Transport Envoy Si Yamen has already returned to Beijing. He has been gone for almost three months and has not returned yet. The person who is specifically responsible for this is the Salt Transport Envoy.

Got the top spot.

?????????"Zhu Xingquan came in person?" Man Gui was a little surprised, but he also thought it was normal. Everyone realized that the situation was wrong. At this time, they didn't care that he, a senior official from the fourth rank, came to visit in person.

, in the past, it was enough for the judge to come.

?????????Waiting to go beyond the lobby and go to the front hall, Mangui saw two guys who were so anxious that they were whirling in the hall. He also found it funny and went forward to greet him, "Master Zhu, why

grown ups."

?????????"Hey, General Man, something big happened." The thin old man with a rat's beard is Zhu Xingquan, Sitongzhi, the salt envoy of Hedong and Shaanxi.

.

?????????"Oh, how big of a deal can it be?" Mangui's heart sank, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and composed, "Don't worry, I still have two thousand battles here.

Soldier, I can take care of even the most important things."

?????????"The town of Changle was captured by the rebels. All the inspectors were killed and countless tax dollars were taken away!" Zhu Xingquan knew what Man Gui wanted to ask as soon as he saw Man Gui's expression, and he asked without asking.

Explained: "A salt merchant encountered rebels in Changle Town and took advantage of the chaos to escape and came to report to me."
