The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 103 Take Zhongshan

Zhao Jie led his troops outside Zhongshan Town. He did not launch a rash attack. According to the development of history, the Jurchens should have attacked the local tyrants of the Song Dynasty, divided the fields of the Song Dynasty, scraped all the wealth of the Song Dynasty, and then invited Zhao of the Song Dynasty.

The Manchus went to the Northeast to visit. What he was worried about was that he had not yet reached the last step. Once he took action to cut off the Jin army's retreat, the Jurchens were in a hurry to jump over the wall to kill his whole family, and then set fire to Bian.

I gave it some.

It’s not that the Jurchens cannot do such things. After they conquer the city, if they have too many people to take them away, or if they encounter resistance, they often take the killing of all young and strong people, including women, to deter the people in the occupied areas and weaken the hostile countries.

War potential.

What is strange is that the intelligence personnel who should have come to meet as agreed have not sent any news, which makes Zhao Xiao unable to understand the current situation in Bianjing and is in a dilemma. But the food and grass they carry are about to be exhausted.

If you don’t think of a solution, you will be hungry. The closest place to them is Zhongshan Town, which is a major border defense town with a tall city and a granary for military supplies. Fortunately, the city is still in the hands of the Song army and has not yet fallen into the enemy.

"Prince, the scouts sent are back!" Jiang Fei hurried into the prince's tent and reported that because the supply is tight now, and when he comes, he is lighter and lighter. Even the prince can only enjoy a thin felt.

In the small tent I set up, felt pads were placed on the ground like ordinary soldiers and sleeping bags. What was more than others were a foldable book and a few horse stools, but this was also a work requirement. The prince could not hang out.

Handle official business on the ground.

"Oh, what's the situation?" Zhao Qi asked, putting the compressed dry food in his hand aside.

"Wangfu, why don't you have reserved grilled sausages and jerky beef? Why do you give this to the prince every day? The prince marchs like everyone else every day. You have to worry about official duties again, how can you bear it!" Jiang Fei saw that the prince was eating but couldn't eat it.

It was a glass of water, a plate of pickles and a piece of compressed dry food, without even a little meat and fish, and I couldn't help but blame Wang Fu.

"This..." Wang Fu looked at Jiang Fei, and then looked at the prince's speechless for a moment.

"It's not their business. Now the whole army is like this. The infantry of the wolf generals work harder and consumes more physical strength. We can still have horses to ride. I have ordered that the meat be given priority to them and wait for the next batch of supplies.

It will be solved when you arrive!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Wangfu, go and invite both of you to come over and listen together!"

"Your Majesty, you still need to take care of yourself. Now it is not just Xijing, but also the Song Dynasty can only turn the tide!" Jiang Fei said with a sigh.

"Stop talking about those things. It's my responsibility for the soldiers to not have enough food. Watching them go hungry, how can I eat!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and refused sternly.

It was not long, Zhao Moe, Zhao Lian, the two chiefs and deputy generals and the military supervisor Wang Jin, all arrived, plus Jiang Fei and several senior executives of the Southern Army were all here.

"When the Jin army headed south, the city was strong and did not fall. Han Liwu rushed south and left his general Naye to lead a team of 10,000 people to continue to siege. He has not been captured for nearly four months!" Jiang Fei first introduced it

Brief introduction.

"How many soldiers are there in the city? How powerful is the Jin army?" Zhao Meng asked.

"According to the scouts' reports, there were 5,000 soldiers in the city. There were also volunteers to help them defend the city. The specific number was unknown." Jiang Fei said. "The Jin army was a partial army, with most of the troops being Khitan, Tatar, and Bohai surrendered troops.

The main force is also the small Jurchen tribe who followed the battle, and its combat effectiveness is poor!" Of course, this poorer is compared with the ZTE Army as the benchmark, but even such a miscellaneous army, the Song army did not dare to fight.

"Well, who is the Zhongshan Guard?" Zhao Qi interrupted and asked.

"Reported to the prince, the magistrate of Zhongshan, Chen Go, the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion. He was a Jinshi. He was originally a magistrate of Shen County and Yongqiu County. He was promoted to the magistrate of Guangxi Transportation for his political achievements. He was dismissed from his return because of his offense to Cai Jing. He was then magistrate of Shangzhou and Xingyuan

The government was promoted to the position of the Central Committee of the Ministry of Education, and was appointed as the Transportation Commissioner of Hebei and Huainan. The Grand Secretary of Shenglong Tuge was responsible for managing Hangzhou. He used the shipping commission to manage the financial responsibilities of the seven southeastern routes and also built water conservancy in Hangzhou. He had a lot of official reputation."

Jiang Fei said, "In the late Xuanhe period, he learned about Zhongshan, Zhiding and Hejian Prefecture. During this period, the Jin army attacked Hejian in large numbers, and Chen Gou refused to defend. Qinzong ascended the throne and was appointed as the Bachelor of Zizheng Hall and the Grand Duke of Guanglu, and again

He was moved to Zhongshan and was soon promoted to Marshal of the Military and Horses. Although he was a civil servant, he had the style of a military man.”

"Well, he is still a loyal minister!" Zhao Qi nodded. He had actually heard of this person. When he was in the southeast of the business, he founded the "Jingzhi Money". This business money is similar to modern consumption tax and business tax, which makes it a

The annual income increased by tens of millions of yuan, which solved the problem of military expenditure. Therefore, Chen Go was not only a versatile civil and military talent, but also a good financial management expert.

"Does the prince want to take him for himself?" Zhao Meng understood his thoughts when he looked at the prince's smile.

"Hmph, you are smart. Our wealth cannot always rely on the income of the church in the mansion. Sun Erqian and his group of people made money, but they can't rely on them to manage taxes in the whole place. Otherwise, based on their calculations, it would be better.

Scrape the ground three feet!" Zhao Qi said coldly. He now lacks a talented and practical experience in his hands to manage finances. This person seems to be pretty good.

"Haha, they were all trained under the careful guidance of the prince!" Wang Jin smiled, "The prince is thirsty for talent, so let me leave this matter to my subordinates. I am a fellow villager, and I have had it in my early years.

Intersection, I think he still recognizes this friend!"

"Okay, if this matter can succeed, will we still be afraid of not having meat to eat?" Zhao laughed.

"You talk a lot of nonsense, Jiang Fei, then talk about the deployment of the Jin army!" Zhao Qi slapped Zhao Xi and said.

"The Jin army has a village in Jiashan leading to Zhongshan, with 300 troops. It is not very vigilant. It is basically certain that we have captured Weizhou and occupied Feihu. The news of the enemy has not yet been learned. The truth is that Baozhou has been lost, all of them are for

The Jurchens occupied it, and there were Shahe and Tanghe in the north and south of Zhongshan. The Jin army only set up camps at the ferry entrance, and most of the troops were concentrated in the besieging defenders under Zhongshan city..." Jiang Fei spread the map on the book table and introduced the reconnaissance in detail.

The situation that comes.

"How much do you know about the situation in the city now? How much does they store grain? Can you contact me?" Zhao Lian asked again.

"It is difficult for our scouts to enter the city when the Jin army besieged the city, but we learned from the scattered people that the situation in the city was not optimistic. According to the peace between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Zhongshan had to pay taxes, so the plunder was very heavy. I am afraid that there would not be too much grain storage in the city.

, But now the people from the Intelligence Department have not been able to contact you, and you can only go to the camp if you want to contact the city!" Jiang Fei said.

"If there is shortage of food in the city, then we will not only not get food and grass to seize Zhongshan, but also try to raise food to feed the people in the city. This puts too much pressure on us!" Zhao Lian said, and everyone looked at the prince and asked him to decide on the snatch!"

.

"Firstly, we attacked Liao, then the Jin army went south three times. Hebei experienced military disasters and was plundered by the imperial court and plundered by the Jurchens. The shortage of food has become a foregone conclusion, so we must prepare for disaster relief when we send troops. Before we set off, I ordered Zhao Zhicong to go ahead.

Hedong, Hezhong's grain transfer will follow, but the situation is unclear now." Zhao Qi said, "and we must gain a foothold. Zhongshan is chasing the Jin army's important throat, and it can also become a base for our troops and grain.

So it must be captured no matter what. Now it is March, the ice and snow melt, the flying fox road can be connected to vehicles, and Xijing can be ordered to deliver food quickly!”

"Prince, our area is narrow and the output is limited. It is already difficult to fight on both sides of the supply. We also have to raise grain to provide relief to the people of Henan. Where can we raise food and grass?" Zhao Meng said, as the saying goes, raising tens of soldiers, and spending money a day.

The Xijing area raised more than 100,000 soldiers, and the war continued to occur and the accumulation was limited. How could we support the people from the two provinces?

"Oh, the prince had long expected that today, what he valued most was grain. In recent years, most of the Hezhong Yanchi stations have been used to purchase grain everywhere and stockpile them all over the northwest. You only see our caravans taking a cart

After pulling out the carts and things, didn't you see a truckload of food being brought back?" Wang Jin said. He was in charge of Xiazhou for several years in the northwest and went to Xijing again. He knew the situation well and knew the prince's family background. In fact, he still

Some people don’t know that the prince had asked Sheng Zhongtang to exchange half of the intercepted silver for food, but it was because of the inland deep in Xijing that had no sea outlet and could not be transported.

"Because the situation in Bianjing is unclear now, we cannot fully expose our strength, nor can we take the banner of the Prince of the Song Dynasty. Instead, we must occupy Zhongshan as a brave person, and then act at the camera when the situation is clear!" Zhao Qi thought for a while and said.

"Well, it is feasible for the prince to send troops in the name of bravery. Now people from all over Hebei have spontaneously organized to fight against the Jin army, ranging from a hundred people to tens of thousands. Moreover, the troops of the South Road have taken the banner of the prince, which can attract the Jin army.

Attention, and we can be a surprise attack on the Jin army by surprise, and we can advance and retreat freely!" Zhao Meng nodded, and the other people also felt it was feasible, so they agreed on a combat plan with this...

That night, Zhao Xiao ordered the special forces to attack the Jin army camp in Jiashan at night, pulling out the first nail on the road. Then he ordered the tiger generals to attack the three cavalry brigades at night and attacked the Jin army with lightning speed and speeding up

camp.

After the Jin army besieged for so long, the Song army in the city did not confront each other again. They attacked several times but failed to take down the city. The two sides were in a stalemate. They couldn't get in.

I couldn't get out, so I gradually became lazy and never expected that someone would attack me at night!

The Jin army, who was in a hurry to fight, was no match for the opponent. Na Ye was even more drunk and was sleeping with the plundered woman. He heard the shouts of killing and hurriedly put on his clothes and took out the bill. Before he could understand the situation, he was rushed over.

A cavalry cut off his head. The news of the main general's death spread. The Jin army fled in the direction of Zhending. The Zhongxing Army then covered the killing. The front was blocked by the river and drowned countless times. Zhao Qi took Zhongshan, and this day was

The days when the Jurchens abolished the two emperors and the founding of the Great Chu State... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
