Lord of the House

Vol 4 Chapter 39: Li Zhuo's counterattack

When the dispute lasted until dusk, it was finally decided that Cheng Yuqian, the minister of the Jiangning Military Department, would lead the Qin Wang soldiers to the north.

Cheng Yuqian successively served as the head of the Ministry of War, the provincial police inspector, the military officer of the Jiangning Ministry of Military Affairs, and the assistant officer of the Jiangning Ministry of Military Affairs.

Cheng Yuqian served as the counselor of Jiangning's military affairs in Jiangning's military department, and served as assistants to former garrison generals Wu Yuejing and Qin Chengbo for a long time.

Li Zhuo intends to restructure the Jiangning garrison army and resolutely stop the army from interfering with local affairs. This move is of course welcomed by the local government, but it is actually an important source of financial resources for the military attachés of the Jiangning garrison. The internal sentiment is serious, and the conflict between Cheng Yuqian and Li Zhuo is also quite serious.

Introducing Cheng Yuqian to take on this position where both risks and opportunities coexist can be regarded as a candidate that can be accepted by all parties.

The 200,000 silver in rations is shared among the six ministries of Jiangning, the Jiangning government, and the envoys of Jiangdong Xuanfu.

The six departments of Jiangning have little real power, but the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the departments and workshops of Jiangning. The money source was wide, the expenditure was low, and the deposit was large. After Chen Tangyi was defeated, the imperial court reorganized the defense of the northern line and borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.

This time King Qin needed 200,000 taels of salaries, and it was finally agreed that the Jiangning Ministry of Industry would pay half of it, and the rest would be shared equally by the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy and Jiangning Prefecture. There is nothing to discuss about this. The Minister of Xuanfu Envoy and Jiangning House hold local financial resources. If the six departments of Jiangning want to gain the right to speak in the affairs of King Qin, the money cannot be lost.

Wang Xueshan suggested that the 10,000 Qin Wang army should be shared by each family, but in fact, the admiral's mansion and the garrison general's mansion were the only ones in control of the army. When they arrived at Yanjing, the Donglu who had entered the pirates had already been rushed to the north of Yanshan.

When others thought that the Admiral's Mansion and the garrison general's mansion would divide the mobilization of the 10,000-strong King's Army, Li Zhuo suddenly challenged Gu Wuchen: "The inspector and envoy supervise the local military equipment, and when things go wrong, they can be directly dispatched from the local military equipment. Soldiers and horses. In my opinion, the soldiers and horses of King Wanqin can be dispatched from the local army by the Commander-in-Chief to relieve the pressure on the Admiral's House and the garrison's house..."

"This is also the case, King Qin who went to the north, the chief inspector and envoy must not go to work or pay!" Yu Xinyuan, the minister of households in Jiangning, joined Li Zhuo to attack Gu Wuchen.

Gu Wuchen's face became ugly.

Although the Commissioner of the Procuratorate has great powers, he does not control the financial resources or the army. Although there is the power to supervise local military equipment, the actual jurisdiction is still in the hands of local officials. According to Li Zhuo, if the matter comes from the power, it is possible to mobilize the army from the local government in the name of the chief inspector. , to be able to gather three to five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled teachers.

The dispatch of King Qin's army is urgent, and it can be delayed for three or five days. It is already the limit. When the dust settles in Yanjing, the army of King Qin here will be dispatched.

Gu Wuchen could directly mobilize the soldiers and horses to be incorporated into King Qin's army. In addition to the four thousand Dongyang Xiangyong, they were the two battalions of Dongchengwei's horse infantry. If Dongyang Xiangyong is the main force, Gu Wuchen might as well lead Qin Wang's army north to Suanjing.

Li Zhuo's counterattack pushed Gu Wuchen into a corner.

Wang Xueshan snorted and said, "That's right, we can't do anything in the local area. According to the inspector's envoy, the horse and infantry troops were recruited from the local area to be incorporated into the Qin Wang's army, and the Jiangning government would never stop them. Two battalions."

Wang Xueshan looked generous, and he wished that Gu Wuchen would take away the two battalions of horses and infantry under the jurisdiction of Liu Xilin, the commander of Dongcheng.

The Admiral's Mansion is also eager to send more troops. Originally, there was a shortage of troops, and the pressure on the Western Front was extremely high. Seeing that Li Zhuo had commanded Gu Wuchen's army, he couldn't control it too much. The council officials and generals representing the Admiral's House also clamored for the commissioners to take responsibility.

In addition to Yu Xinyuan representing Wu Dang, other officials of Jiangning Ministries and Institutes are also the fallen officials of the mausoleum. They have always looked down on the Chu Dang who gained power in the center. How can they not beat the underdogs?

Cheng Yuqian, who was in charge of leading the troops this time, also had a very ugly expression on his face. If he led the troops to Yanjing and the Donglu had already been repelled, that would be a good thing. Knock on, that is life and death.

Over the years, the Jiangning garrison's money has been adequate. The generals and generals made a lot of money, and they have been raised for many years, and they have no courage to fight, but as long as the ordinary soldiers are not short of money, their fighting power and morale are still available.

Cheng Yuqian originally recruited more soldiers and horses from the Jiangning garrison. Even if he took 5,000 troops from the garrison and 5,000 from the Admiral's Mansion, he would be reduced to a straggler who was vulnerable. How could he think that Li Zhuo would be ordered by the inspector and commissioner? Stuff some of the soldiers in?

Cheng Yuqian scolded all eighteen generations of Li Zhuo's ancestors in his heart, and became more and more certain that Li Zhuo wanted to kill with a knife, and wanted to take this opportunity to kick all the disobedient generals in the garrison to him and take them to Yanjing to die.

Gu Wuchen grabbed the armrest of the chair, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just as the adults said, the chaperone can't hide from his responsibility, the army of the king, the chariot is responsible for dispatching 3,000 troops from the local military... …”

Li Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "That's good, the soldiers have enough money to pay, and in five days, they will send troops from Jiangning to the north to the King of Qin... The list of officials and military attaches sent by each government department will be copied by tomorrow noon so that we can assign duties."

Gu Wuchen stood with his arms folded and walked straight to the courtyard. Lin Fu saw Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting glance at him, sighed slightly, and followed Gu Wuchen to leave the discussion hall.

*********

After coming out of the garrison general's mansion, Gu Wuchen didn't return to the yamen, and he only had five days to prepare. The problem of 3,000 soldiers could not be solved by the system.

Gu Wuchen called Lin Fu, Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, Liu Xilin, Zhao Qinmin and other close friends to the house to discuss matters.

The golden-red sunset light shot in from the door and landed on the brick floor behind the threshold. Fine dust fluttered in the beam of light. Gu Wuchen sat behind the desk with a gloomy face.

"You must not divide your troops from Dongyang Township bravely," Lin Buji straightened his back and said slowly, "Recruit people to bravely go north. I will lead the army and die in a **** battle with Donglu, and I will not smear the face of adults."

Lin Bie was like a sharp blade out of the sheath, and the cold light overflowed.

Five days later, 3,000 minions who had no combat experience were recruited into the Qin Wang Army. If the Donglu had already been defeated by the time they arrived at Yanjing, then it would have been better. It would have been a great achievement. If the Donglu did not retreat, using the people with no combat experience and training to fight against the Donglu iron cavalry would undoubtedly be self-defeating.

In addition, the restraint of untrained Min Yong into an army is also a big problem. If Min Yong escaped before arriving in Yanjing, this responsibility is no trivial matter.

The four thousand townships bravely defending Dongyang are still seriously insufficient and stretched, and if they divide their troops north to the King of Qin, Dongyang will be completely exposed to Liu thief's forces.

Even if this side decides to divide the troops from Dongyang, Lin Tingli and the generals who actually control Xiangyong in Dongyang may also be defeated.

Everyone's realm is not so high that they go thousands of miles to the King of Qin without guarding their hometown and foundation.

"I'm going to Yanjing too." Liu Xilin also took the initiative to ask Yingdao to share the burden of the King of Qin in the north with Lin Fu.

"No, I'll go alone," Lin Fu refused. "Liu An'er's department has been dormant for several months. At this time, the Donglu attacked the capital, and the world was shaking. Liu thief must have a big move, and Dongyang's pressure is extraordinary. Xilin strengthens Dongyang's defense. In addition, although the East China Sea bandits suffered deep setbacks in the **** battle of Jiyang, they may still try to test the truth of Xisha Island. I ask the adults to agree to send Zhao Hu's troops to strengthen Xisha Island, and be less affected by Chongzhou County. control."

"You don't have a single soldier, how can you restrain the three thousand people?" Gu Wuchen asked movingly.

If Lin Fu took out the military guards of Jiyun and guards, and there were three or four hundred elite soldiers to build the foundation, it would not be a problem to restrain the brave three thousand people with Lin Fu's ability and means, but Lin Fu refused to give up Xisha Island. Both Wu Wei and Zhao Hu's military soldiers were used to strengthen the defense of Xisha Island, and Lin Fu had only a handful of people available.

How arduous is it to restrain three thousand newly recruited brave people with the power of one person? If the Donglu Iron Cavalry is encountered in a battle, 99% of them will be defeated without a fight, and no matter how strong Lin Fu's ability to lead troops is, there is no magical ability like Shichengjin.

"The Hekou training and training of people's bravery has begun to scale, and it can recruit five or six hundred people. Although there is no combat experience, it is not a problem to train and march," Lin Fu said. "In addition, we will recruit a thousand brave people from Xisha Island. I am in Xisha. The island has the meaning of disaster relief. Although Zhuang Yong has not been trained, it is unlikely that he will abandon me. These two groups of people make up the foundation, and the rest recruit refugees from Chaotian Dang to make up for it. It won't cause too much trouble."

"That's just before the encounter with the enemy, there will be no trouble," Zhang Yubo said, "This time, the 100,000 invaders from the east will not easily retreat. Even if they cannot attack Yanjing, they will plunder all the provinces in Hebei, and use the foundation of chaos in the king's town. . If you delay here, you will always arrive at the front line in a month..."

Chen/Yuanliang, Zhao Qinmin, Gu Siyuan and others remained silent~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Here, Li Zhuo was forced into a corner, and no one was more suitable to take on this responsibility than Lin Bie.

Yang Pu and Ma Chao were also silent. In three or five days, they recruited Min Yong and brought them directly to the Yanjing battlefield. Even if some people are drawn from the cavalry, and some people are drawn from the Dongchengwei, it will not change the fact that the new recruits are the main force and cannot withstand a fight.

"After I leave, Yubo will take care of the Hekou side," Lin Fu said calmly, "Because Min Yong is untrained and can't be used much, so I have an additional request..."

"Just say it; if I can fight for it, I will fight for it." Gu Wuchen said, at this time he also knew that Gu Xi couldn't do without a person like Lin Fu who could take the lead.

"The King of Qin going to the north will dispatch troops from Jiangning Water Camp to transport troops," Lin Fu said. "From Jiangning north to Yanjing, the wind is unfavorable and the river is shallow. No matter how fast the troops are transported by ship, it will take a month. This one The time of the month is very precious to me and the 3,000 miners. I led the 3,000 miners not by boat, but by land, and used marching to train and adjust. I agreed with Cheng Yuqian on the date and place to meet, and if it was overdue, I am willing to accept military law."

"You want to fight together," Gu Wuchen agreed resolutely, "Okay, I will help you get this condition."

"I will personally go over the recruitment of soldiers on Xisha Island tonight. Please urgently give me 10,000 taels of silver. For every soldier recruited, 10 taels of silver will be distributed first. Five days later, I will bring a thousand people to Jiangning to join us." Lin Fu said, "Jiangning's recruitment of troops can be handed over to Xilin and Siyuan and others, and An family's silver will be paid in the same way."
