This is the second time Du Yinxi has been rushed to Babaili, but it is still the same as the first time, and he can't help but feel a little scared.
Although logically speaking, there should be nothing going on in the capital, but who knows what will happen?
Fortunately, they had already experienced an eight-hundred-mile emergency. Therefore, Lu Daqi and others were shocked, but Du Yinxi was not there yet. He just did not go back to the lobby and directly summoned the messenger in the martial arts hall.
After reading the urgent delivery with a serious expression, Du Yinxi breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately showed a smile and said to Lu Daqi, who was looking at him nervously: "This is the latest strategic plan. Mr. Sun is about to take action!"
At this point, seeing Lu Daqi breathing a sigh of relief, he added: "Zuo Liangyu's headquarters is in Nanyang Mansion. Regarding this black sheep among the imperial officers and soldiers, His Majesty has already sent an order to Mr. Sun. This time
All troops were sent out to capture Zuo Liangyu and uphold the law of the country! At the same time, Li Zicheng had just captured Luo Rucai in Xiangyang. The imperial army could not wait for Li Zicheng to finish integrating Luo Rucai's men, so they had to take advantage of the situation to march and attack Xiangyang."
Having said this, he pointed his finger at Lu Daqi and said: "Your matter is now urgent. Your Majesty estimates that Li Zicheng may flee westward into Shu. Therefore, you must rush to deploy as soon as possible, especially the armament consolidation in the eastern Sichuan area.
It is urgent to do so.”
"I understand!" Lu Daqi responded quickly after hearing this.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi continued: "On my side, while guarding Tongguan, I must also follow the order to enter the Shu area and strengthen the defense of the Shu area. In the future, your majesty estimates that the war may spread to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, so western Sichuan will also
We must rectify the situation and wait for opportunities to hunt down the bandits!"
Having said this, he handed the urgent report to Lu Daqi and asked him to read it too.
Emperor Chongzhen had an order to block the three sides of Governor Yinxi and control Sichuan and two provinces, and to cooperate with Sun Chuanting to encircle and suppress the bandits.
This is equivalent to saying that Du Yinxi has officially become Lu Daqi's direct superior.
Communication is inconvenient at this time, and even if it takes eight hundred miles to express military affairs, it may be delayed. This kind of long-distance cooperation is very inconvenient.
After Lu Daqi finished reading, he couldn't sit still. He had just arrived in Guyuan from Gansu and immediately said to Du Yinxi: "The military affairs are urgent. Can I go to Shu immediately?"
After hearing this, Du Yinxi did not advise him to rest for a few days, but nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately send an order to Ma Xianglin, asking him to break camp immediately and follow you into Sichuan. I still have things to do here.
, after the cleanup has stopped, I will go to Shu to help you!"
Lu Daqi had already seen the express delivery just now, so he naturally knew what Du Yinxi was going to do, so he didn't ask and nodded immediately.
As a result, Guyuan immediately began to mobilize urgently.
Ma Xianglin's troops first set out with Lu Daqi, the new governor of Sichuan, and rushed to Shu as far as they could.
Of course, Zeng Ying and others also accompanied him.
But before leaving, they finally got to know each other. As a landlord, Du Yinxi gave each of Zeng Ying and others a new set of armor, and said to them, mainly to Lu Daqi: "I only brought two from the capital.
There are only a thousand sets. The officers and soldiers of Qin will be rewarded based on their merits and will be reorganized first. There is still a big difference. However, the output of the Jingshi War Bureau is also very high. It is estimated that next year, Qin will be able to complete the replacement and reorganize Shu.
Once you complete the application and submit it, it will probably be soon!”
Ma Xianglin's more than 5,000 white-pole troops have all been re-dressed. There are also 2,000 troops directly under Lu Daqi, who have also been re-dressed.
Whether the armor is good or not depends on the courage of the soldier. Anyone who is in the military knows how important armor is.
It's definitely not like in later TV series, where all the armor looks like paper.
Good armor cannot be cut by knives, cannot be penetrated by guns, or cannot be penetrated by arrows. It is obvious to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The same is true. In ancient times, people were allowed to have swords and guns, but private possession of armor was not allowed.
This principle.
Therefore, when seeing the new armor issued to the entire army, not only Zeng Ying and others' eyes were opened, but even Lu Daqi was about the same.
Knowing that the imperial court was continuously producing this new type of armor, my confidence suddenly increased, and my steps towards Shu Land became much more brisk.
On Du Yinxi's side, the messengers also hurriedly left Guyuan and rushed to various places.
Except for the northern Great Wall defense line, which still needs to have garrison troops under the command of Governor Yansui, the armies in other places have completed their mission of clearing out local bandits. Even if there are still bandits left, they are left to the local government to continue to clear them out.
The army began to gather, and Tongguan was the most important location. Therefore, Du Yinxi sent an additional group of troops, namely Lintao General Niu Chenghu, to reinforce Tongguan just in case.
On Du Yinxi's side, he waited quietly for the factory guards sent by Emperor Chongzhen to arrive, and together they went to the princes' palaces in Qin to ask for money and food before leaving for Shu.
At the beginning, Liu Weichao's suggestion to Emperor Chongzhen was to pluck the hair of vassal kings across the country.
If it were in the past, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to wipe out this face, and would not be able to reach out to the vassal kings in various places. It would be good if he did not reward them with money and food.
However, today's Emperor Chongzhen already knows that he almost became the king of subjugation, and the Ming Dynasty was almost ruined.
For him, nothing is as important as the country and the country passed down from his ancestors. Face, relatives, etc. are all the same.
Not to mention, by the sixteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, he had finally seen the true nature of some vassal kings. Among other things, King Fu of Luoyang and King Chu of Wuchang were stingy and refused to spend money on city defense. As a result,
They all benefited the thieves and ruined the reputation of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
In this case, why can't the money of these vassal kings be used for court affairs?
Emperor Chongzhen had already thought clearly about it, so as soon as Liu Weichao proposed it, he immediately agreed to the suggestion.
It is better to plunder a vassal king's money and food than just losing a relative, rather than delaying important military deployments; or it is better to disturb the people, plunder who knows how many people, and force them to rebel again?
Emperor Chongzhen has already settled this account.
And he has already thought about the compensation for the vassal king. In his opinion, this will be beneficial to the vassal king and the country passed down by his ancestors. It is definitely the most appropriate for him to do this.
Therefore, courtesy should be given first and then troops should be sent. The factory guards would come to the door first. If there was a vassal king who dared to die to resist, the local army, mainly the cronies of Emperor Chongzhen, would follow.
Except for a few cronies, he was not at ease with the matter of plundering the feudal king's money and food. Not only did he become a bad person, but he got some money from the worms, which he couldn't bear.
For this reason, Du Yinxi was responsible for the preparation of money and grain in the Qin region, including the later Shu region.
Sun Chuanting was responsible for parts of the Central Plains and Shanxi.
Of course, this trick is a one-time thing. If there is a next time, the feudal king will not have much money after being raided.
However, fortunately, at least in Emperor Chongzhen's plan, this time, directly quelling the civil strife was a one-off effort.
……………………
No, Du Yinxi received such an order, and Sun Chuanting received it earlier than Du Yinxi.
The matter of money and food has been something that has troubled Sun Chuanting for a long time. When he received this order from Emperor Chongzhen, even he couldn't help but praise it.
Sun Chuanting is definitely very clear about the difficulties faced by the imperial court today.
There was great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and taxes and grain supplies had been greatly reduced.
In the Central Plains region, not only natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, but also due to years of war, Li Zicheng even dug up the dams of the Yellow River. Not to mention the expropriation of grain, disaster relief was still required.
As for the north, there is also constant war. How much tax and grain can we receive?
Thanks to the fact that the emperor had raided the homes of many wealthy households earlier, he had a certain amount of money and grain stocks in hand. In addition, he also sent Dongchang to raid the homes of Yangzhou salt merchants, and set up a procurement office in the south of the Yangtze River to transport money, grain and supplies to the north.
If it weren't for these two hands, Sun Chuanting dared to conclude that the situation would never be as good as it is now!
But even so, if the food and materials shipped by the Jiangnan Procurement Office to the capital by sea were to be transported to the Central Plains war zone, no one would know how much food would be lost on the way.
Therefore, he really had no choice about the matter of money and food. He could only hope that Emperor Chongzhen could figure out a way to solve this problem.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen really did it.
Although the King of Zhou in Kaifeng has been squeezed out and doesn't have much food left, there are still vassal kings over there in Jin!
Apart from anything else, the nearest one, Prince Lu, who was also the object of Sun Chuanting's covetation, could now legitimately ask for money and food.
This King of Lu, Emperor Wanli gave me an unknown amount of money in food at the beginning, which has been accumulated for decades. Before the Battle of Kaifeng, I was still unwilling to pluck it out.
Old face!
No, as soon as the factory guards arrived, Sun Chuanting personally led Yuan Shizhong's 2,000 troops across the Yellow River north to Wei Hui Mansion.
Huang Shu, the prefect of Wei Hui, was shocked when he saw Sun Chuanting arriving with troops in person. He thought something had happened and hurried out of the city to greet him.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened.
Sun Chuanting told him that he just brought his troops here to relax.
Afterwards, he took over the city defense of Wei Hui Mansion. After he finished this, the factory guards who came from the army came to visit Zhu Changxi, the contemporary king of Lu.
Both generations of King Lu had a bad reputation in Wei Hui.
In particular, the first generation of King Zhu Yili of Lu relied on the favor of the Queen Mother Xiaoding to become domineering and domineering. Not to mention the extravagant wedding, when he became a vassal, more than 500 ships were used to transport treasures and furniture. Along the way, Shuntian, Henan and other provinces
All prefecture and county officials held grand welcome and farewell ceremonies.
After becoming a vassal, he continued to amass money crazily, to what extent? He didn't care, he only wanted money, so that when the Queen Mother Xiaoding died, Zhu Yirui knew that his backer had collapsed, and he was so frightened that he quickly died of illness!
