Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven I Want to Conquer!
"As you have deduced, Wanli has ordered Yin Bingheng to lead the three camps to move to the east of Tongzhou, and the army is backing the North Canal to line up to prevent Tongzhou's granary from being damaged." Meihua, the general leader of the Special Corps Reconnaissance Section, appeared in front of the insignificant Colonel Zheng.
"Their top priority now is to transport the grain from Tongzhou Warehouse to Jingcang as soon as possible."
"Don't this all rely on the care of Section Chief Fang, and Chief Mei's timely and accurate information?" Zheng Yiluan was flattered by the arrival of this section-level cadre. This is enough to show that his small "strengthening group" has become the focus of the big boss's attention!
"Haha, no matter how you say everyone is under Director Gao, of course you have to help me." Meihua said with a faint smile.
"Then we must fight this battle well and we cannot embarrass our security department!" Colonel Zheng immediately expressed his opinion, and said that, he also respected Genhuazi to Chief Mei.
Plum Blossom waved his hand to signal that he would not smoke. Although there are thousands of smokers in Jiangnan now, smoking in the north is still the patent of landlords and wealthy people. He is not as talented as the section chief, and he must be careful to hide himself in order to not attract attention.
"But you don't have to be too anxious." Meihua gave Zheng Yiluan a reassurance with her backhand: "Originally, we were worried that Wanli would learn from Shaobao and transport the food in just a few days, but now it seems that she is over-concerned."
In order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields as soon as possible, Yu Qian asked Emperor Jingtai to send nine months of rice to the civil and military officials in the capital and six months of food to the soldiers guarding the city, but they all had to go to Tongzhou to collect them.
At the same time, in order to mobilize the masses, he not only transported grain and paid money, but also did not care whether the people would transport grain to their homes. This created an absolute miracle. He transported a large amount of grain in Tongzhou warehouse in just a few days.
Moreover, all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with warehouses and vats, and the people were naturally calm and their morale was greatly boosted.
Therefore, this kind of survival cannot be considered a small account, and everything must be done for victory.
If it is still "I would rather have friends with friends than family slaves", it would be useless.
But it is impossible to make Wanli not count as a small account. That is 20 million stones of grain, and conservatively it is worth 40 million taels of silver!
It would be better to kill him than to share his precious wealth with those hateful ministers and the lowly people.
Therefore, Wanli only ordered the Imperial Horse Supervisor to recruit civil servants from the capital, and sent the Four Guards to supervise the transfer, and the granules must be returned to the warehouse...
Not to mention a few days, he will never be able to finish his fortune in a few months!
"It's normal. With Zhu Yijun's greed for money, how could he be willing to spend money?" Zheng Yiluan lit a cigarette himself and took a sip. The "China Brand" cigarettes are not easy to get. He can't get a few pieces a year and he usually doesn't want to smoke them.
"But Wanli didn't plan to let the three camps deal with you. He sent the eunuchs in the military supervisor to take the supervising team and Wang Mingqipai to Wang Huaxi, Zhang Chen and Du Tong's camps, and forced them to fight with you until the last soldier." Meihua revealed again.
"No wonder the Zhang family father and son plunged into Baodi City and refused to leave." Zheng Yiluan showed a sudden expression: "I thought Zhang Dashen was not good."
"He has almost gone well, but he has never gotten out of bed. He should have pretended to be sick and fooled the new eunuch in the military inspector." Meihua said lightly. Obviously, it is not only the information in the palace, but also the situation of the enemy.
Although Baodi County is not big, it is the gateway of the capital, so it is more considered from a military perspective when building it. The city wall is made of brick and stone structure, and the height and thickness are 26 meters. Moreover, each city gate is made of hard wood and iron nails, and a building is built on the door. There is also a corner building in each corner, so the defense facilities are very complete.
Zhang Chen acted as if he was in charge of the city and hoped that Zheng Yiluan would retreat when he was in trouble. If he was really determined to fight, Zhang Chen would also have some advantages with the strong city.
"Master Zhang respects us so much. We don't have that ability to attack the city." Zheng Yiluan sneered and asked, "Are there any common people in Baodi City?"
"The circumference of Baodi County is less than seven miles long, and 20,000 to 30,000 government troops are pouring in. How could the common people still dare to stay in the small county?" Meihua smiled and said, "I have all fled to the countryside for a long time."
"That's good. Good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. We have to help Wang Dashen!" Zheng Yiluan said, blasting the cigarette butts away with ease, and a string of orange-yellow Mars drew a beautiful arc in the night sky.
Amid the whistling sound, hundreds of orange arcs cut through the dark night sky.
The orange flames illuminated half of the night sky very brightly, clearly outlining the outline of Baodi County.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, is it a meteor?" The defenders at the city wall raised their necks to watch the only beautiful scenery they saw in their lifetime.
"Is it a monkey who flew away?" Hearing the movement, Zhang Chengyin also came out to watch.
It was not until the "meteors" fell into the county town that the officers and soldiers realized that this was a rocket attack, and hurriedly hurriedly hid their heads and hid.
Fortunately, although the thing was scary, it would not explode after landing. Except for a few unlucky guys who were directly hit by the big iron can, they were either killed or injured, most of them were safe and sound.
Zhang Chengyin was about to say that he didn't expect that the rebel army would have such flashy and insolent things.
But he was shocked to find that the rocket that fell in front of him was squirting long tail flames and running around, until it was pierced on a mud wall, still whistling fire, and there was no intention of extinguishing it!
"It's gone!"
"It's on fire!"
"It's amazing, it's burning!" Shocks were heard everywhere in the city, and fires were ignited everywhere.
Now Zhang Chen didn't care about pretending to be sick, so he quickly got up and ordered someone to put out the fire.
Although the officers worked hard to organize soldiers to fight the fire, in this era, except for the landlords, every house was made of thatch on the roof. In fact, even the landlords' houses were extremely afraid of fire. If you don't believe it, look at the Forbidden City, the largest landlord courtyard, what would it look like whenever you go to water?
The rescue was completely useless. The rockets that kept shooting in, made the flames soar into the sky, and eventually formed a whole, and the entire county town became a sea of fire...
Surrounded by the high city walls around, the narrow city directly became Laojun's alchemy furnace. In the raging fire, houses continued to collapse. Rolling smoke filled the entire county town, as if it was about to swallow everything.
In a state of fear, the eunuch Pi, the military supervisor, took the lead in opening the city gate and fled out of the county town. The officers and soldiers also fled with them...
Seeing that the army had lost control, Zhang Chen had no choice but to escape from Baodi County under the protection of his son and his personal soldiers.
He gathered the defeated soldiers all the way until dawn to gather the majority of the people again.
But at this time, they had already left Baodi County almost thirty miles away.
Moreover, there was no food, supplies, weapons and equipment. Many officers and soldiers even lost their cotton coats and shoes, and they were all covered in dust and trembling, which was no different from refugees.
Now there is no combat power...
"Master-in-law, what should we do?" Zhang Chengyin asked with tears in his eyes. It was so frustrating. He had not fired a single shot until the war started, but they had already lost again and again, and were defeated.
All the generals also looked at Zhang Chen, waiting for the general to make an idea.
"It is impossible to go back to Baodi, but retreating is a dead end, so staying there is the same." Zhang Chen thought hard for a moment, and pointed to the Chaobai River channel south: "Cross the river and go to Xianghe County!"

We can't mess with the rebel army, have we made the way out?
In the Forbidden City in Beijing, Emperor Wanli’s village curses sounded again in Yikun Palace!
Because the scene comes in too often, I can only think about it...
But this time, Wanli didn't believe it. Because the Dongchang Supervisor's commander team also spoke a lot of words. The rebels had a rocket that could fly from "more than ten miles away" and could spit out a cup of tea. Although the direct killing was limited, it was definitely a killing weapon that caused the city to burn!
Doesn’t this mean that the rebels don’t have to get close to Tongzhou City at all, and even can launch rockets directly into the city through Chaobai River and ignite all their granaries?
When Wanli thought of the scene of his 19.9 million stones of grain being burned to ashes, he felt that he could not survive.
"Absolutely, they cannot be allowed to cross Chaobai River!" Wanli roared: "Transfer to Yin Bingheng and move to the east bank of Chaobai River immediately!"
"Then we'll meet the rebels head-on!" Zhang Hong reminded the emperor.
"What's wrong with it?" Wanli mooed and said with white air: "They only have 10,000 people! The three camps and Wang Huaxi and their soldiers together have a total of 200,000! Even 200,000 pigs can even 10,000 of them!"
"The emperor is wise." Zhang Hongxin said, too, 200,000 to 10,000, the advantage lies in me...
"Tell them that Wang Huaxi and the others will also quickly lead their troops to the big factory to participate in the battle!" Wanli gritted his teeth and said, "Tell them that in five days, I will lead the imperial army in person! After I arrive at the battlefield, all those who have not arrived will be executed by delaying military opportunities!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Zhang Hong was frightened. "You are not a joke in person!"
Your grandfather’s grandfather just went to the grassland to hunt... What is impulsive punishment!
"No need to say too much, my intention has been decided!" Wanli trembled, and obviously thought of the allusion of Yingzong Beishou. Although he also had a younger brother, he did not have Yu Qian... If there was a mistake, he would not regret taking medicine.
But he had already said that he could only say with a firm look on his face: "Tomorrow, I will pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then I will personally lead the army to fight, hurry up and prepare to go!"
Now all civil servants are in jail and everything has to be managed by eunuchs.
Fortunately, there was no desperate attempt to stop the civil servant group, so he naturally went wherever he wanted and was completely free.
The emperor decided to lead the army in person, so it was decided.
However, as soon as the two empress dowagers and Concubine Zheng cried, Wanli was shaken again.
He advised himself that it was okay, 200,000 to 10,000 would be absolutely impossible to lose!
Moreover, General Zhu Shou has also personally fought several times. Isn’t it all right?
What? It’s like to fall into the water. It doesn’t count if it falls into the water after the war?
When he thought that although he was just going to cross the North Canal and Chaobai River in person, he felt even more and more frightened.
My Emperor of the Ming Dynasty seems to be really not suitable for personal expedition?
What to do?
