Rebirth of the First Emperor

At the end of April, the state of Qi was in chaos. The disciples of the Yellow-robed Heavenly Master wrapped their heads in yellow scarves and launched an uprising, which swept the entire Qi Dynasty with great momentum.

Due to the hasty attack, the preparations of the Tianshi Sect were not sufficient, and the leading forces were shadow assassination troops in various places. The elites were pitifully small. But even so, the strength of the Tianshi Sect should not be underestimated. They were extremely sharp in attacking cities and demolishing strongholds in a short time.

In just a few days, Qi State lost half of its territory. The Qi State court wanted to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, but found that there was no way to do it. The imperial troops and horses were all scattered, and even if they were assembled, they could only move eastward and westward like headless flies.

Retreat, with little effect.

This delayed the situation for four or five days. By the time the Qi army had gathered enough strength, the Tianshi Sect had also formed an army of hundreds of thousands, all equipped with the Qi army's standard weapons. The army was powerful. There were thirteen states, two prefectures, and five roads in Qi State.

, in addition to Zhongzhou where the capital Linyang is located, Nanjunfu controlled by Qi Wenyuan, and a few other states and counties are still in the hands of the Qi army.

The Celestial Master Sect was so powerful that the Qi army was tightly surrounded by the yellow-robed Celestial Master Sect members who gathered from all directions, and was unable to come or go.

At the beginning of May, more than 200,000 troops of the Chu army came to the border town of Qi State. The Qi army fought and defended the pass. The Yan State in the east was about to make a move. The small countries secretly mobilized their troops and horses in order to get a share of the pie. The Qi State was in danger of a storm and the mountains were full of buildings.

"Sir, the scouts have come to report that the Tianshi Sect's rebellion was found in the east. I estimate that it is the Tianshi Sect's rebel vanguard camp." Bu Liuqing strode into the county office and reported to Ying Zheng urgently.

Big, far beyond imagination. Currently, only one city of Huxiang is still standing in Taihe County. Huxiang is fighting alone. How long can it last? This is the question.

"How many troops? Who will be the commander-in-chief? Have the follow-up troops been identified?" Ying Zheng asked three questions in a row, all in an orderly manner, but without any panic.

Infected by Ying Zheng's demeanor, Bu Liuqing naturally calmed down and thought for a while before slowly saying: "Returning to your words, there are only a thousand people coming to the Tianshi Sect this time, and the banner is a big banner with the character "Li".

Our scouts are not very familiar with the Tianshi Cult. In order not to alert others, our scouts did not get close, so we do not know the rebel commander for the time being. The number of rebels' follow-up troops is about 5,000, and their food and baggage is very small.

It’s only for the whole army for three days, the rebels are very confident!”

"Haha, we only have a thousand city guards in Huxiang. Six thousand people fight against one thousand. Even if we rely on the power of the city wall, our thousand people have a low chance of winning! Thinking about it this way, we can send six thousand people.

It’s pretty good.”

Ying Zheng said with a smile, with a smile on his face. Yes, Huxiang does only have a thousand city guards, but there are also more than 300 rangers. These more than 300 people will be a force that cannot be underestimated. Ignore

In the hands of Ying Zheng, these three hundred people will directly become the fatal mistake of Tianshi Sect.

Bu Liuqing is also someone who knows military affairs. Even if he doesn't know Ying Zheng thoroughly, he also knows that the guards of Huxiang Qiancheng City are well-armed and the Huxiang City Wall has been repaired and perfected for a long time. It is far from being comparable to the walls of ordinary cities. The three hundred rangers are even more

The orders and prohibitions, Hunan elite, have omitted so many factors, and the result may not be known.

Thinking of this, Bu Liuqing was even more determined.

"Sir, please show me what to do." Bu Liuqing asked for orders, full of fighting spirit.

"This county magistrate has announced that the entire city of Huxiang is under martial law. No entry or exit is allowed. If any refugees enter, they will all be planned to be in the Nancheng area. They will be responsible for food and shelter, but they must be heavily guarded. Scout troops and rangers will go out in all directions.

Seeking information."

Ying Zheng had expected this day for a long time. These countermeasures had long been familiar to Ying Zheng. To be honest, he had been waiting for this day to come.

Ying Zheng made it clear, but Bu Liuqing was a little confused. This order was too simple. Just when he was about to ask what he didn't understand, he saw Ying Zheng scolding him with a straight face: "Bu County Lieutenant, hurry up and pass the order.

I won’t forgive you next time.”

When Ying Zheng said this, he secretly raised his momentum. Instead of being angry and intimidating, he lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look directly at Ying Zheng, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Article 1 of the Huxiang Military Law states that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. No one may disobey at any time. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed.

"Yes, I will obey your orders." Bu Liuqing punched Ying Zheng in a respectful manner, backed out of the door, and then walked straight away.

Ying Zheng looked at Bu Liuqing who was exiting, and after a long time he shouted: "Dao Feng, call Luo Yang to assemble the team immediately. In addition, notify the chief clerk to come to the county government to discuss matters."

"Yes," Dao Feng, who had been guarding the side room, responded and then fell silent.

After Bu Liuqing returned to the military camp, he immediately ordered the city guards to dispatch and block the city gate. More city guards were sent to patrol the streets. He contacted the arrester Ning Tianya. Ning Tianya quickly sent more police officers to patrol the streets and pay close attention to everything in the city.

trend.

"The county magistrate has issued an order that Hunan is under total martial law. People are not allowed to enter or leave Hunan. Three thousand Tianshi Cult rebels have camped ten miles east of Huxiang. They will attack the city tomorrow. The guards of thousands of cities in Huxiang are waiting.

, for the great security plan of Hunan, the county government has specially recruited troops from all over the city. Those who join the army will honor their ancestors. During the period of martial law in the whole city, we also ask the fathers and fellows of Huxiang to cooperate. If there are any shortcomings, I ask all the fathers and fellows to forgive me."

Soon, some government officials went to the streets to post notices, and the people immediately started talking about it. This notice was the first time the government had posted a recruitment notice, and many young men immediately became interested. As for the notice,

The so-called martial law mentioned above is not a problem at all to the people. Ying Zheng's prestige in Huxiang is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The impact of the recruitment notice was unparalleled. At that time, more than 130 young men went to the county government to sign up, and they brought their own weapons and quilts. Many of them thought that they would go to bed if the government did not accept them.

At the Yamen Gate, he is full of passion and is a strong Huxiang native.

"Sir, my Huxiang family is the only one who is still supporting us in the entire Taihe County. However, there are tens of thousands of Celestial Masters in Taihe County and we in Huxiang only have a thousand soldiers. Can we really survive?"

Looking at the long queue of Huxiang Erlang who wanted to join the army, the chief secretary made a statement and sighed with emotion.

"You are blaming the county for not sending troops to rescue the county governor Tian Ji the day before yesterday! Don't beat around the bush about what you want to say. The county doesn't want to hear this." Ying Zheng said in a strong tone. Could it be that he has been staying in the military camp these days to make this statement?

Is your mind going crazy?

"Hey, hey, don't be offended, sir. It's just a statement, and there is absolutely no intention to blame. There are only a thousand armored men in Huxiang. Even if they all come out, they may not be able to solve the siege of Taihe. Besides, we

He also shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Huxiang!"

The statement monster said sheepishly. Ying Zheng glanced at the statement and said slowly: "Just stick to Huxiang. This county can find enough backup for you."

The statement nodded slightly, and his heart was full of doubts. At present, Huxiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the entire Taihe County is under the rule of the Tianshi Sect. Apart from recruiting young men from Huxiang, where are the reinforcements coming?
