Chapter 295: Trapped County (Part 2)
Shanyang County
Shanyang County is not large in the area of the retreating state, but it is relatively stable. There is a hidden valley a hundred miles outside the county town.
At this time, although it is spring, it is still a little cool at night. [bsp; A moon hanging high in the sky, the moonlight is not visible, only the dark afterglow falls.
Because of the remote terrain, it is necessary to be located or adjacent to the official road. Few people come here on weekdays, and even hunters entering the mountain will not come to this remote place. What no one knows is that in this valley, there is an institution stationed here in Dachengchao. Entering the mountain wall along a hidden entrance of the valley, you will pass through the long mountain road, with no one leading the way, and it is easy to get lost.
There are hundreds of people hidden in the cave that leads to.
They stationed in the valley, and had secret supplies for food and use, and even had a batch of gunpowder, firearms, and food in the cave.
These supplies are for emergency purposes.
It can be said that the Dacheng Army sent to Shanyang County, part of the supplies were hidden here.
In the past, Shanyang County, along with the four counties of Dongping, Taishan, Rencheng and Jibei, was forced to submit to the Dacheng Dynasty.
Therefore, except for reorganizing the army, Wang Hongyi only made a few official positions to adjust his position, and most of the original officials were retained. Wang Hongyi would not make major mobilizations before the recession prefecture was pacified. However, he would not trust them too much. In fact, this is not a matter of trust or distrust, but a political necessity. For newly demolished counties, especially at this time, in addition to the officials and intelligence personnel sent out on the surface, there are also Thirteen Divisions and Hundred Houses hidden in the dark in the territory of these five counties. These have long been lurking here, and they did not show them in the open.
If there is a sudden movement in the county, these people may play a key role.
This cave is piled with simple sheds. Although it is a shed, it is very simple, but it is covered with gaps and can keep warm. There are also some warehouses behind it, and the pool is divided into many areas with earth walls. There are detailed plans. If there is chaos, it can accommodate thousands of elite soldiers.
In the middle, there is the location of Baihu. Baihu is sitting in front of a desk, looking through the information in Shanyang County under the light of an oil lamp.
Although this place is remote, the news is not blocked.
The general flag that delivered the information had just left, and the air was filled with a faint smell of meat. This was the dinner that someone had just brought to him.
A small pot of meat soup, a small plate of sauce meat, and a small plate of vegetable dry food have just been hot and are steaming.
After reading the documents in his hand, Baihu started eating slowly.
At this time, the door at the entrance and exit of the cave was pushed open and someone walked in again.
"Is there another information sent?" asked the General Banner who had just left, a little surprised.
The chief flag bearer had an urgent document, and came over and handed it to the official's desk: "Heaven, this is a letter from the Feige of the County City Department!"
"Oh?" Baihu took it in his hand, opened the urgent letter, hurriedly looked at it, and immediately stood up and stopped eating.
"Sir, has something big happened?" The general flag manager Thirty Ding, and he is also an official, so you can ask.
"It's not a big deal, but the matter has to be done quickly before it can be at ease. Send the order and let them all go to the accusation of the matter."
"No." The cave of the discussion is a large cave with a very wide area inside the cave. The cave here is not artificially opened, it is a natural cave found. It is only slightly trimmed and can be used as a base.
In the cave, the ground was very flat. When everyone heard the order arrived, Baihuli was waiting here.
"Listen, I received a letter from Feige from the county town. The navy of Baima Port is fighting against the Hu people and is in urgent need of gunpowder. The fleet warships have already docked and waited in the Fengshou port in the county."
"What is important is to draw gunpowder from each county, or even temporarily allocate it, but we must transport the gunpowder stored in the cave before dawn and move it immediately, and the horse team will arrive at a short moment!"
"No!" Everyone responded.
Taisan County
The capital of Taishan County is a prosperous city with a large population, and there are always people living in the city. Now the big flags flying on the high city walls have been replaced by the flags of the Dacheng Dynasty.
Because Suizhou was experiencing war, in order to prevent details, the city gates were strictly inspected.
Although the suspension bridge was not high and the city gate was closed, the entire city was filled with a solemn mouth. There were many soldiers guarding the city. These soldiers were dressed in the clothes of great soldiers and issued the first batch of pay.
Because of the fact that the clothes and salary were not deducted, the soldiers were energetic and gradually gained a favor for the success of their surrender.
In the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, in a study room, there was a middle-aged man sitting. He was an ordinary person and tall. He was wearing casual clothes at this time. Judging from his sitting posture and demeanor, it can be seen that this person is a soldier.
This person was the garrison of the Dacheng Dynasty to Taishan County. His surname was Wang and he was a relative of Wang Hongyi.
In the past, Wang Zunzhi had a vassal state and was well-managed. Most of his tribesmen were martial artists. This person was one of them. He was proficient in literature and art. Although he was not a talented general, he was cautious in speaking and doing things because of his origin. He had the ability to defend the city, treated people gently, and did not form cliques. He was currently a fifth-rank official and sent here to take over military power.
The most powerful family in Taishan County was the Ma family. Once in Taishan County, the Ma family led his followers.
The military affairs here were fully taken over by the special forces of the Ma family, the first family of Mount Tai.
There are much less obstacles than the other four counties.
In his spare time, General Wang can still read a book in his study without worrying about the big and small matters in the county.
But it is obvious that he was afraid that it was difficult to see Ansheng this night. A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside."
A moment later, a voice sounded outside the study: "Sir! I just received an urgent report, please read it!"
"Urgent report? Where did the emergency report come from?" Lord Wang's face changed slightly, he paused, and then said, "Come in and speak!"
"No!" The people outside then entered the study and delivered the urgent report they had just received: "The ships of the First Fleet have defected to the port and sent someone to send this document."
"The official documents of the First Fleet Navy..." There are often some marks and formats on the official documents that outsiders cannot imitate, and there are still marks. Lord Wang is familiar with these, and he can see the content at a glance.
"As the military officer, come here quickly." Putting down the official documents in his hand, Lord Wang immediately ordered.
When the personal soldiers heard this, they immediately went out to spread the present.
Lord Wang sat back on his seat, picked up the official documents placed on the table again, and read them again.
“…, gunpowder and projectiles?”
The official document said that the navy is now fighting fiercely in Baima Port, requiring a large amount of gunpowder and projectiles. The defenders asked the guards to prepare overnight and prepare the gunpowder and projectiles before dawn.
Although this matter is not a document from the superior and the navy cannot control the army, no one dares to neglect it in this matter. This Lord Wang is well aware of Wang Hongyi's character. If he clearly receives a letter of help but does not provide assistance, and his Majesty will find out later, it will be a disaster immediately.
After a while, the military officer came to Taishan County and the military officer came outside the study. Wang Tianren ordered him to enter. The two of them had a secret conversation in the study.
The quarconian went out again, with a slightly solemn expression and his pace was faster than when he came.
Rencheng
It rained all night and stopped at dawn. The morning wind was still chilly and not very hot.
The sedan chair fell in front of the county magistrate's yamen. Li Hui came out and felt relieved. He was originally a Tongzhi, nominally the prefect's deputy, but in fact he had no power at all, and was not as good as the county magistrate.
However, the meeting every three days still has to arrive. Now it is a new dynasty. As long as you retain this identity, you will be promoted elsewhere sooner or later, so you are in a good mood.
Looking along the way, I saw two or three officials coming to the yamen in the morning light. Li Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, you cannot catch the prefect and leave the blame.
Thinking of it, he slowed down and went in, he saw the prefect Zhang Du, so he hurried to the ceremony and said, "Sir, early!"
After the salute, I saw another strange soldier. Seeing that he was dressed in a fifth-rank military general, he was unhappy and surprised.
Zhang Du smiled and said, "I was going to find you. This is the first fleet. He said he wanted gunpowder and projectiles. Where can I have it here? Besides, without the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Revenue transfer order, how could I mobilize gunpowder and projectiles in the warehouse?"
As he said, he smiled but didn't.
Li Hui opened her eyes and stared at the soldier.
After hearing this, the general said coldly: "The two great governors in Baima Port are resisting the Hu people and urgently need gunpowder and projectiles, but you refuse like this? And I also brought the great governor's silver arrow token. According to the system, you must obey the order."
The Silver Arrow Token is the token given by the Emperor Dacheng to the military generals.
Silver Arrow Token, local fifth-rank officials obey orders, but in this case, just like the king's flag-paper monk Fang Baojian, they are all great killing weapons that hurt others and themselves.
If you use the King's Flag Pillar Monk Fang's sword to interfere and kill people at will, the consequences will be very miserable.
However, at this time, the military situation in Baima Port was urgent and it was no longer suspected.
As soon as these words were said, Zhang Du's face changed, but because this was too hard, Zhang Du sneered in the thought.
"I am the prefect and I am in charge of civil affairs. This warehouse cannot be opened, so I won't send it!" Zhang Du even bowed his hand and turned around and was about to enter.
"Slow down!" Jiang Tian was angry and smiled grimly: "You dare to disobey your order, how can I keep you?"
As he said that, the man smiled grimly on his face. He drew out his long sword and slashed at Zhang Du in front of everyone.
The army was killed in a critical and ruthless manner. With a "puff" sound, the knife suddenly pierced from behind Zhang Du's back and then came out from the front.
Zhang Du's whole body was shocked. After the long sword was pulled out, it was covered in blood. He was squeezing and turned around. His eyes were full of incredible. He pointed at the general: "You teach me",..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell down and died after standing sword energy.
The people present were shocked and could not believe their eyes for a moment.
He pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and said viciously: "I will kill the prefect, but the military situation is urgent and I can't care."
As he said that, he pointed at Li Hui: "Are you a Tongzhi? Now you will act as a magistrate according to the rules and supervise this matter immediately."
