Chapter 475 One is more cruel than one
Chapter 475
An enveloped quick play was sent to the capital at high speed.
These days, Zhang Anshi always feels that his eyelids are always twitching, which makes him flustered inexplicably.
The situation of the Chief Envoy of Henan Province seems to be on the mend for the better.
But the situation in Guanzhong is somewhat worrying.
Of course, at this time, Zhang Anshi is quite sure.
He has 300 people stationed beside Zhu Zhanji. With these 300 people, as long as he leaves the customs in time, it will not be a problem to escort Zhu Zhanji back to Beijing.
It's just... Now that the New Deal is being implemented, Zhang Anshi is in trouble.
On the one hand, His Majesty did not order Zhang Anshi to take over Henan and Guanzhong provinces.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi vaguely felt that sooner or later, these provinces would still need his efforts.
At this moment, Chen Li, the new commander of Jinyiwei, came in a hurry.
As the king of the county, Zhang Anshi wrote several times, requesting to resign as the commander of Jinyiwei, and Zhu Di finally gave his permission.
And the new commander naturally fell on Chen Li's head.
Although Jin Yiwei's command and envoy had been handed over, the Jin Yiwei was still under the control of Zhang Anshi for the time being.
At this time, Chen Li was holding a bulletin, with an anxious expression on his face, panting and saying: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong."
Seeing Chen Li's anxious expression, Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "What are you doing in such a panic, don't be so excited. What happened?"
Chen Li exhaled fiercely, finally regained his breath, and then hurriedly said: "The Chang'an county in Guanzhong said that the emperor's grandson refused to leave Guanzhong, and he ordered Jinyi and the captains of the model battalion from the surrounding prefectures to gather together. In a duel with the bandit army, he played the banner of the emperor's grandson, and the bandits began to gather like flies smelling the stench...there were a lot of people..."
Zhang Anshi stared, and immediately cursed: "What do you mean by a fly that smells stench! It's unreasonable. What kind of smell and smell can there be from my own nephew?"
Chen Li hurriedly said: "You are humble and die."
Zhang Anshi is also a little anxious, this is his own nephew, and the one he watched grow up is the future hope of the Zhang family!
Zhang Anshi said anxiously: "Then, and then...the others agree like this? Damn it, Jin Yiwei, and those guys in the model camp...just let him act like this? He is just the deputy envoy of the Railway Department, and everyone is willing to listen to him control?"
Chen Li said with a bitter face: "The emperor's grandson said, this is your Highness's order, and you want him to do this."
Zhang Anshi's eyes widened, he immediately waved his big hands, and said excitedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Chen Li: "..."
I saw Zhang Anshi roaring: "This is my nephew, how can I blame this matter on this king! This king watched him grow up, this child is a bit noisy, but he will never be so heartless. News Have you verified it?"
Chen Li looked at Zhang Anshi with sad and sympathetic eyes, and said word by word: "It's not for verification, but... What I have received is the emperor's grandson's autograph report. Look, Your Highness, this report says ...Everything is according to your Highness's order. People and horses have been assembled, and banners have been set up to attract rebellious officials and thieves. We only wait for a decisive battle. We vow to protect the people in Guanzhong. , This is indeed written by the emperor's grandson, it has been checked... there will be no mistakes."
As he spoke, Chen Li stuffed the letter into Zhang Anshi's hands.
Zhang Anshi's face suddenly looked like a swollen pig's liver. With a wave of his hand, he opened the letter and said, "I don't read it, I don't believe it, it must be fake."
Chen Li drooped his head, not daring to make another sound.
After a long time, Zhang Anshi finally calmed down, and sighed: "Forget it, this matter needs to be reported immediately, and I will enter the palace right away."
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Anshi immediately entered the palace to have an audience.
After seeing Zhu Di, send the report to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was surprisingly calm after reading the report, and then said: "Zhan Ji is right to do this. If he leaves the customs, he will lose his heart. There is no reason for the thieves to abandon the ground and escape."
Zhang Anshi said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's my minister..."
Zhu Di said: "Zhanji has learned from you, that's right...you don't have to argue for yourself, military affairs are up to fate, what is the situation of the bandits in Guanzhong this time?"
Zhang Anshi looked hesitant, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
Zhu Di looked at him fixedly and said, "You mean what you say."
Zhang Anshi then said: "There are quite a few thieves in Guanzhong, the main reason is that if you accumulate less, you will accumulate more. Moreover, the folk customs in Guanzhong are tough. I heard that many gentry guards and housekeepers are mostly proficient in bows and horses. There are many horses there. So many people ride horses, once a crowd is gathered, I am worried that there may be tens of thousands of cavalry."
Zhu Di nodded: "Daming's horse administration, among them, this pass has burdened a lot..."
In order to train cavalry, the Ming Dynasty adopted the horse policy. For example, in February of the sixth year of Hongwu, the law of raising horses was stipulated, ordering the people to raise horses together, and stipulating the number of horses and the number of fruits.In the 28th year of Hongwu, it was announced: "Eleven households in the south of the Yangtze River, five households in the north of the Yangtze River..."
However, most of the horse administration at the beginning was carried out in the Zhili area, and edicts were issued to the six prefectures of Yingtian, Taiping, Zhenjiang, Luzhou, Fengyang, and Yangzhou, and the people and herdsmen of Chu and Hezhou."
However, Zhili is an agricultural area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with narrow grazing land and no professional herdsmen. It is only run by farmers, and its number is far from sufficient for military needs.As the war moved northward and faced the well-equipped Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for war horses became more urgent.
Since Guanzhong is in the north, it is not far from the desert, and raising horses nearby can save a lot of loss.On the other hand, there is a tradition of raising horses in the north, so the horse administration began to move north from Zhili.
For example, in Guanzhong, the local government will distribute the colts and war horses to the people, let them be responsible for feeding them, and requisition them in wartime.
It's just that ordinary people can't even support themselves, how can they afford it.In the end, these war horses were fed by the gentry, and the government gave some fodder and silver.
Nowadays, there is great chaos in Guanzhong, not to mention the gentry and powerful people who caused the chaos. They not only have housekeepers and guards, but also a lot of horses.
What's more, the horse thieves in Guanzhong have been there for a long time, and now there is a sudden riot, which is equivalent to sending a cavalry to the rioters all at once.
Zhu Di asked again: "How many people are there by the emperor's grandson?"
Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "Your Majesty, there are probably only three or four hundred people who can really fight."
Zhu Di frowned: "He is too reckless."
Zhang Anshi said: "Yeah, it's too reckless, my minister... didn't instruct me..."
Zhu Di waved his hands and said worriedly: "Okay, don't say too much, find a way... go to help, and do everything you can."
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Yes."
It is said to be rushing to help, but how to rush to help?It may have been several days since the report was delivered to the capital, and those horse thieves were extremely fast, maybe at this time, they were about to attack Chang'an County.
Zhang Anshi knew that His Majesty was troubled at this moment, so he obediently retired.
He thought carefully, with the strength of the model battalion, it might not be invincible. The problem is that the model battalion is scattered in various places, and there is no general who can take charge of the army alone, so the outcome is unknown.
Chang'an County...
A big battle is imminent.
As soon as the order was received, the model battalions from nearby prefectures frantically assembled towards Chang'an County.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, seven to eight hundred people came.
There was even a group of people who traveled day and night and arrived here after traveling 140 miles a day. When they arrived, they almost fell asleep and slept for seven or eight hours before waking up.
This is the emperor's grandson, it's not fun to have an accident.
The officers of the model battalion stationed in various places almost gave the same order: if the emperor's grandson is lost, His Royal Highness of Wuhu County must be killed, and if he cannot rush to help in time, everyone can figure it out.
For captains, this is simply a huge motivation.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness Wuhu County King is the backbone of the model camp, which school lieutenant in this battalion does not have a family in Taiping Mansion, relying on His Highness Wuhu County King to have today?Once the king of Wuhu County is gone, who knows what will happen in the future?
Those distributed lands used to have owners.
The business at home is said to have been saved by myself, but in the past, whoever was in business, who was not a mere official, could teach you to destroy the family?
What's more, from the beginning of entering the camp, apart from practicing every day, what they instilled is to make achievements, and now, the achievements are in front of them.
But even so, there are only so many people who can gather.
After all... In the whole Guanzhong, there are only [-] model battalions stationed, and the other teams are too far away.
Fortunately, the supply is still sufficient. Although the grain transport team is often attacked, there is no shortage of food and sufficient ammunition for the time being.
Everyone prepared their troops and started reorganization again.
Zhu Zhanji met the team officers who came from various prefectures and counties one by one.
Jin Yiwei, like a scout, let it out.
People from the Railway Department explored a highland in Chang'an County.
To be precise, there are two highlands, presenting a corner-like trend. In the middle of the two highlands, there happens to be a stream of water passing by.
With the help of the highlands, the impact of the cavalry can be slowed down, and the presence of rivers means that fresh water can be replenished. The two highlands can rush to support each other and echo each other.
Of course, this kind of place can also be called a dead place, because once it falls into the high ground and is surrounded by groups, there may be a risk of being trapped to death.
And this point is not considered by Zhu Zhanji, because he feels that as long as he persists here for half a month, it will not be a problem, and after half a month, this will be even less of a problem. As long as he is here, there will be a steady stream of officials The army tried its best to come to the rescue.
At this time, countless rebels had already begun to assemble. Their horses were fast, and upon hearing the news, they really rushed here to gather.
For them, Zhu Zhanji is indeed attractive enough. As long as Zhu Zhanji is taken down, then... In any case, it will be a huge victory for them.
Zhu Zhanji has started to observe the bandit army on the high ground.
There are a lot of them, and there are a lot of horses.
Then came the next day.
The battle begins.
Countless cavalry began to attack the high ground.
Afterwards, the cannons were fired from the high ground, and the high-achieving students of the mathematics school were all good at shooting cannons.
It's a pity that there are not many artillery pieces, and apart from some killing and deterrent effects, their effects are limited.
It's just... When the cavalry rushed forward, finally, the sound of firecrackers rang out, followed by the sound of machine guns rattling.
This dense fire net instantly knocked down the cavalry rushing forward like harvesting wheat.
"Your Highness, stop wasting ammunition. The ammunition waste of this machine gun is astonishing."
"I have it in my mind."
Zhu Zhanji was not on the top of the highland, but not far from the captains.
He said: "Uncle said, we have to judge the situation and see how deep they are. Everyone is comparing endurance."
The brocade guards had no way to stop Zhu Zhanji's actions, so they could only protect Zhu Zhanji with extreme caution.
Zhu Zhanji pressed the handle of the knife on his waist and looked at the fallen culprits in the distance.
But... It seems that the thieves have already expected the strength of the model camp.It's obvious...someone provided them with information about the Model Camp.
Therefore, after a group of cavalrymen fell down, another group of cavalrymen rushed forward, and they seemed to be arguing with each other, but this time, their formation was very scattered, and the messengers fired guns, The lethality of artillery and machine guns has plummeted.
Zhu Zhanji said: "Who else knows the number of our ammunition?"
"This...outsiders probably don't know...but...if it is based on the quantity we transported at the beginning, it is not difficult to guess..." The hundred households on the side thought for a while and continued: "If someone secretly communicates with the thief, then it is not difficult. Guess."
Zhu Zhanji's face became a little colder, and he said: "All the officials in Guanzhong should be killed."
He didn't continue talking, but stared at the cavalry who charged forward.
The cavalry continued to flow like a relay. The main reason was that there were too many cavalry, but because they were scattered, although many people were killed and wounded, the people behind were still making persistent efforts.
When every team of cavalry went into battle, people could be seen cheering for them from a distance, as if to say: At this point today, if the people on the mountain are not taken down, everyone will be killed. At this point, for the sake of his wife and children, he must fight to the death.
Zhu Zhanji frowned, but he remained motionless.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted from noon to evening.
The cavalry on the high ground has made countless attempts!
But it was evident that they were numerous and, for some reason, undeterred.
Quite a bit, vowing to take down the high ground.
As far as the high ground is concerned, the wasted ammunition of the machine gun is a big problem. There have been many times when the opponent has to come close to fire.
As a result, there were several times when danger arose.
"It's getting dark." A school captain beside Zhu Zhanji reminded worriedly.
Zhu Zhanji was still calm and calm, his eyes looked not far away calmly, and said in his mouth: "Don't worry, they will definitely do their best to launch a charge next. Pass the order, next, don't be stingy with ammunition, give me Hit hard."
Sure enough, the mighty thieves came all over the mountains and plains. They trampled on the corpses, some on foot, some on horseback, and rushed towards Zhu Zhanji's highland in a swarm.
There was a loud bang.
This time the lethality was even more astonishing.
The thieves all over the hills... even started to learn how to crawl and climb up the hills, and some people... held the door panels, tables and chairs as shields, hid behind them, and slowly moved forward.
"We still have too few people, and we have to guard such a large place, and the firepower is not dense. This is not an option! Your Highness, we should withdraw from the first line of defense and go to the second line of defense."
Zhu Zhanji frowned, only pursed his lips tightly, and did not speak.
He only saw many people falling down, and suddenly many people who were lying down suddenly appeared.
At this moment, his whole face was tense.
For so many years, everyone has treated him like a child, and so has his grandfather.
In this world, there is only one person who truly regards him as a man.
That is his uncle.
And now, why isn't he extremely nervous and scared?
But he didn't know if it was the stubborn outburst in his bones, or he was yearning for something. He saw those thieves getting closer and closer, and he could even clearly see a person's face.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhanji drew his knife and raised it high, pointing straight forward with the cold tip of the knife, he shouted: "Fuck his mother, come with me, kill his mother!"
With this sudden reaction, the Jin Yiwei around and hundreds of guards in the back team were all stunned.
But soon, everyone became excited, and Jin Yiwei at the side also drew his sword.
Zhu Zhanji stared at the front, and said fiercely: "Come with me, live to make contributions, and die to uncle's wife, children and parents who raised you."
After a loud shout, unexpectedly at this moment, the people on the high ground rushed down in a swarm.
After hearing this, the captains of the model camp drew their swords one after another, and with a loud cry, they jumped out one by one.
The rebels on the high ground were crawling slowly in this hell at the risk of huge casualties.
They were more terrified than anyone else. When they besieged this place, most of them realized that they had really turned their backs this time. It turned out that the people surrounded on this high ground were actually the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming.
Just like every villain who once only wanted to show off his might, and only wanted to follow the tyrants to bully men and women. They thought it was just a bigger show of strength, until they realized that they had been coerced into rebellion.
But now, there is no choice, and there is only one way for them to survive.
What's more, there were already people supervising the battle on the high ground, so they braved the hail of bullets and persisted desperately.
He thought that he would be able to fight hand-to-hand with these model battalion captains soon. These guys who only know how to hide from a distance and shoot firecrackers must be of no avail.
Who would have thought that the opponent was more vicious than them.
At this moment, they raised their heads and looked at the dark man, holding a sharp knife, descending like a tiger.
The fear that had been suppressed with great difficulty was suddenly released.
The morale that was barely lifted suddenly plummeted.
That night.
When the sky was dark and the sun was shining brightly, Zhu Zhanji led the army to rush to kill, the bandits were chaotic, fled everywhere, and countless people trampled on each other. They chased and killed for forty miles overnight, and blood flowed like a river!
