After hearing Li Zhi's words, the senior generals all looked at Li Zhi again, secretly wondering how capable Li Zhi was? How dare he boast so brazenly that he could defend Fanjiazhuang by himself? The Tatars have been attacking cities and territories in recent years, and their ability to attack cities has improved greatly.
The ethics officer can hold it. I heard that Fanjiazhuang is rich and prosperous. If the Dongnu army comes, won't Fanjiazhuang be overthrown?
Is this kid a crazy person?
The ethics officers standing next to Li Zhi were a little resentful, secretly thinking that this Li Zhi was very confident? He asked us to escape into the big cities of prefectures and counties, but he had to lead the troops to defend the land. He took all the limelight by himself.
!He didn’t know that Dongnu’s attack on the city often used tens of thousands of people, and the fierceness of the offensive could not be withstood by just one person. What if there were a thousand servants?
Fortunately, this stupid thing that led to death had nothing to do with anyone else. All the ethics officers sneered in their hearts and secretly thought that they would just let Li Zhi take the limelight.
He Shishou was different from other generals. He knew that Li Zhi had strong troops and artillery and had repeatedly made military exploits, so he somewhat believed Li Zhi's words. He smiled when he heard Li Zhi's words and glanced left and right, as if to express his gratitude to other officials.
Showing off the bravery of his "relative", he smiled and said: "Li Zhi, Dongnu warriors have been fighting with bows and horses all year round. Defending the territory is not a child's play. Do you know how difficult it is to defend Fan's village?"
Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "I know. I am confident that I can hold on!"
He Shishou nodded, stroked his beard and said: "Since you have confidence, I will allow you to guard Fanjiazhuang. If you can defend it, I will definitely do it for you!" He turned his head and glanced at other ethics, and said: "The rest of the ethics will be as follows.
We plan to transfer all the soldiers, horses, men, money, grain, pigs and sheep that we have stationed in the fort to nearby large cities in prefectures and counties, so do this as quickly as possible!"
All the conduct officers hurriedly clasped their fists and replied: "The general will get the order!"
After leaving the governor's office, Li Zhi returned to Fanjiazhuang.
At this time, Fanjiazhuang was already at the first level of combat readiness. The soldiers slept in their clothes at night. When they heard the alarm, they immediately rushed to the city. There was a full atmosphere of war. Li Zhi was worried about a Tatar sneak attack, so he asked the forward selection battalion to select ten soldiers.
Veterans from several squads were sent to dangerous locations in the north, east and west to serve as sentries in squad units. These sentries were equipped with telescopes and each equipped with two horses. They were on guard at strategic locations. If they encountered a large group of slaves, they would immediately
He rode back to Fanjiazhuang to report the military situation.
News from the front line is coming one after another:
On July 22nd, the rebels thinned out the Xizhimen of Jingcheng, and the Qing army garrisoned the Qing River. Emperor Zhu Youjian was finally forced by the situation and had to let the generals from all over the country serve the king. The Ministry of War sent a message to Liu Zeqing, the general of Shandong, who sent 5,000 troops.

On July 24th, news came from a bandit: Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting in Heishui Valley in Zhou 0 and was being taken to the capital.
Hearing the news, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
Since the Battle of Ruzhou, the power of the bandits has been greatly reduced. Coupled with the continuous flow of reinforcements and suppressing troops from various places, the bandits are outnumbered and have no way to escape in the plains. They have all fled into the mountains. These bandits have fled to the mountains.
The thieves lacked food, wages and morale in the mountains, so it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out by officers and soldiers.
The capture of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang is a reflection of the current plight of the bandits.
However, at such a critical moment, Dongnu invaded the capital at the right time, forcing Chongzhen to summon the soldiers and horses from all over the world. Soldiers and horses from all over the country were transferred back to the capital to aid the capital, and the great cause of encircling and annihilating the bandits fell short. In a few months,
The bandits then wanted to break out of the weak encirclement of officers and soldiers and wreak havoc for thousands of miles.
Huang Taiji's intention to cooperate with the bandits to weaken the Ming Dynasty is clearly revealed.
On July 23, Qing soldiers captured Liang0 Township.
On July 25th, Zhang Fengyi, Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked the governor to send reinforcements from various towns, and promised to send reinforcements. He gave Shang Fangjian, ten thousand gold, and five hundred merit medals. Gao Qiqian, the eunuch who monitored Guan Ning, was appointed as the director, and he assisted the south to conquer 0 states.
Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Forward Army, was appointed as the admiral, and Zhang Shijie, the commander-in-chief of the same mountain and sea forces, set off for the expedition and was given 30,000 gold, a thousand medals for meritorious service, and a reward. The military department gave Zhang Diyuan to supervise the army during the incident, and he patrolled Liaodongfang Yizao to guard Shanhaiguan.
On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month, the Qing troops captured Shunyi. The county magistrate Shangguan Xin and the guerrilla Zhi Guoqi commanded Su Shiyu and others to resist the city defense. The city fell, and Shangguan Xin and Zhi Guoqi, as well as Su Shiyu and others, were killed.
On July 28, the Qing soldiers captured Baodi County! The county magistrate Zhao Guoding, the chief bookkeeper Fan Shu, the official historian Zhang Liushi, and the trainer Zhao Shixiu all died.
Hearing the news that Baodi County had been captured, the atmosphere near Tianjin became even more tense - Baodi County was under the jurisdiction of He Shishou, the governor of Tianjin. The capture of Baodi County meant that the Qing army had entered Tianjin
Within the territory.
On July 28, Li Zhi was sitting at home, holding a somewhat panicked Cui He.
The people in the city have been organized these days, and they are building city defenses everywhere, building antlers to resist horses, and collecting equipment such as rolling stones and wood. Soldiers and horses are running back and forth in the city, and the soldiers are shuttled back and forth with guns and ammunition.
, a scene of an imminent war frightened the timid Cui He.
"If Madam is afraid, I will send you back to Tianjin and hide in the Li family yard in Tianjin for how many days?"
Cui He held Li Zhi's wrist tightly and shook his head vigorously.
Li Zhi asked: "Are you afraid, Madam?"
Cui He nodded vigorously.
Li Zhi asked: "Then why not go to Tianjin?"
Cui He said quietly: "I'm afraid when you're not with me! If the city is broken and you die, how can I live alone in Tianjin? It's better to stay here with you and stay with each other."
Li Zhi felt the deep affection in Cui He's words and joked: "You didn't have me before we got married, and it took more than ten years!"
Cui He said angrily: "That's different. Now that we are married, we are like mandarin ducks and no one can live without the other!"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, none of us can live without the other!"
Cui He turned his back to Li Zhi and said: "And now I have it!"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you have?"
Cui He said loudly: "We have a baby!" She looked at Li Zhi with a smile and said: "I saw the doctor yesterday and he said I have a happy pulse and I am pregnant with the baby!"
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Is that right? You got pregnant so soon?"
Cui He opened his eyes wide and said with pointed fingers: "It's not so good, we've been married for more than a year!"
Li Zhi smiled, hugged Cui He forcefully into his arms, and said, "Then what is our child's name?"
Being held by Li Zhi, Cui He seemed to feel more at ease, and said loudly: "Then we have to wait for you, the father, to choose the name! I don't know how to choose the name!" Cui He grabbed Li Zhi's wrist tightly and said: "
Husband, you have to guard Fanjiazhuang, if you can’t guard it, our child will be gone!”
Li Zhihao said: "I can defend a hundred Fanjiazhuang. If Jian Nu dares to come, they will never come back!"
