Chapter 441 The troubles of Lord Shaoyin
Sun Yu had long thought that everyone was hostile to each other and was suddenly kneaded together, and conflicts were inevitable. Only Zhang Daqiu's law enforcement camp could suppress them.
If there were enough soldiers, he would not want to mix things like this, and there would inevitably be hidden dangers. However, he could not withstand the troubles of this territory and people under his control, so he could only think of ways to increase his ability to fight sustainably.
Sun Yu woke up more than once when he was dreaming about midnight. As long as he lost one time, he would be hard to have a chance to make a comeback.
Although the current Zhongyong Army has strong combat effectiveness and good weapons and equipment, it has a small population under its rule and its war potential is too small. Once the army is seriously damaged, it will be a problem to defend the city later. The 50,000 new recruits just recruited now have no weapons in place.
Tonight, Wu Sheng’s class was the subject of why the war started.
The course was not long, only half an hour. After listening to it, Wu Sheng had only one idea to serve the Loyal and Brave Army. He overthrew the Nanyue court as soon as possible and let the people of Nanyue live a life like the rule of the Loyal and Brave Army.
The saddest thing under the rule of the Zhongyong Army was that the landlords who occupied hundreds of acres of fertile land, like the Qiangzhu Li in their village, either sold the land to the government or paid high taxes.
Ordinary people like them can not only rent land from the government, but the rent is very low, but also freely open up land. As long as they register with the government, the ones they have own.
After dawn, the loyal and brave army began to set off, with the goal of Ningde, the next stop.
Along the way, there were burnt villages, except for a few lonely, old and weak, they were basically empty. Wu Sheng looked at the scene in front of him, which was a world of difference from before.
The supplies such as the catapults that attacked Luoyuan County have been dismantled and loaded on a carriage to accompany him. Ningde and Luoyuan County are not much different, but there is an extra circle of moats, which attracts live water, which requires more effort.
At this time, Ningde County was already in chaos. Luo Jixing ordered that all young and strong people be incorporated into the army and prepare to defend the city and fight.
Luoyuan County's crushing defeat made him feel scared. The more than 20,000 imperial guards in the city now cannot bring him any sense of security. As for directly retreating to Wenzhou, he doesn't have the courage to do so.
He had long been in a state of disagreement with Wang Wujing, the governor of Jinghai, who was stationed in Wenzhou, and had been defeated this time. If Wu Ling retreated, he might be attacked by him.
Until now, he realized that the current situation in Nanyue was really not good. The Southern Tang sent troops to attack Yue three times this time, and the situation in Suzhou was better. Wu Sheng's army was also passively beaten in Jiande County, and Lin Zhaoqing, a famous general in Southern Tang, attacked without stopping.
No matter what, he must persist in the reinforcements from the court.
"Report!" The messenger rushed over to the horse, walked to Luo Jixing, and turned over and dismounted.
"Report to the general, the court urgently reported it!" The messenger knelt on one knee and raised the letter above his head.
Luo Jixing picked up the letter and opened it. It contained the letter written by his uncle, Qian Hongchu, the King of Yue. He told him to hold on anyway. At present, the court is coordinating the matter, and reinforcements will set off as soon as possible.
He sighed, and he knew that what his uncle said was true. He was defeated again and again. If this continues, no one would be able to save him. As for the reinforcements to set off as soon as possible, it was simply a pleasing word, and Luo Jixing knew it very well.
But this defeat is really unrestrained by him, each other
Although the number of people is similar, the equipment gap is too big.
These days, Luo Jixing strengthened the city defense day and night. He built a batch of ceilings above the city walls, using high-quality wood. In order to collect materials, he did not hesitate to remove all the beams of the yamen.
Atop the city wall, a roof was built every fifty steps to defend against the opponent's large trenchers. At present, there are shortages of trenchers in Ningde County. After all, he could not take away the trenchers in Luoyuan County, so he burned all the trenchers in fire.
But he took the crossbow and sent someone to Wenzhou to spend money to buy it. He was rushing back to Ningde all the way, and there was still some money.
He believed that Wang Wujing had an objection to him, but he must have no objection to money.
When all the crossbows are in place and there is a reinforced bunker above, it will inevitably cause enough damage to the opponent.
As a hinterland, Henan Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, it should have been far from war, but the people still couldn't say that they lived and worked in peace. The young master Yu Jianyu was quite annoyed these days. Jinzhou in the north and Fengxiang Prefecture in the west had entered a state of war. The transportation of various materials had to be consigned to a large number of civilians.
As a must-pass place for materials, Henan Prefecture will recruit 200,000 civilians this time. This is an astronomical figure. There have been many conflicts in the local area, which makes him worried. He heard from the official desk that the memorial to impeach him was already higher than his health.
Henan is a great mansion, and there are many officials in the court. When encountering such a thing in his hometown, he must speak out. Yu Jian wants to do work and scold him. If he does it well, his great achievements will be given to the prefect Zhao Tingmei. Who said that he is a brother of the official family?
Yu Jian was tired for a day and when he returned to the door, he saw his eldest daughter Wei'er standing at the door and looking around.
Yu Jian loved this daughter from the bottom of his heart. When he gave birth to her, Yu Jian had not yet passed the exam. After that, he had a smooth journey and was sure to pass every exam, as if he had already learned to do so.
After that, she was busy and even her first wife passed away, she failed to return home in time. Who knew that the fiancé passed away, which delayed her marriage.
"Wei'er, it's so late, why are you doing at the door? The autumn wind is cool." Yu Jian patted his beloved daughter's forehead. Although he has not yet reunited, he has taken two concubines and has a son and a daughter, but his feelings for Yu Wei are irreplaceable.
"Dad, I have nothing to do, so I want to spend more time with my father." Yu Wei held his father's arm, and his well-behaved daughter.
Yu Jian sighed in his heart. This is a very considerate person. He is old and can't continue to stay in the mansion to raise him.
"Hurry up, Xiaoxiao, bring the chicken soup and make it up for my father. I might be able to add more children next year." Yu Wei ordered to the maid who was guarding the door of the hall.
Now Yu Jian is less than forty years old, so it is possible to have a few more children.
"You are not big or young, just joke with your dad!" Yu Jian patted the back of her head lightly, but having more children and grandchildren is always a blessing, which is also a happy talk.
"Wei'er, it's not my father urging you. Yesterday, did you like the son of the Qi County Magistrate's family?" The Qi County Magistrate is the Yiyang County Magistrate under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture. Yiyang is the Shangxian County, and the family background is not very different.
The main reason is that Yu Wei is a little older and has promised someone before. Although he has not passed the door, it is not very nice. Otherwise, Yu Jian would not let his daughter go out easily.
Married.
"Dad, they didn't like me at all. You always ask me what's the use?" Several times before, Yu Wei said he didn't like me. His father gradually became suspicious. This time he simply said that he didn't like me.
"Fuck, he dares?" Yu Jian slapped the table and gave him a face. The Qi County Magistrate was willing to bring his son to the marriage. The parents' orders and matchmakers' words, letting them meet and chat a few times, to let their daughter find someone who suits her. How could they choose?
Yu Jian is a typical double standard, completely disregarding his daughter, and has already shirked a lot.
"Dad, the young master of Qi County Magistrate is only 16 years old and has passed the imperial examination. If he is a senior citizen, he will be a young Jinshi, a good candidate for catching his son-in-law under the list. There are many big names waiting in Kaifeng Mansion..." Yu Wei saw it thoroughly, and there were indeed two points of resistance between the words of the Qi family's young master.
In fact, whether the Qi family’s son is willing or not, she doesn’t agree.
"It's simply shameless, dare to spend time with me?" Yu Jian was furious and was actually despised by a boy. Although he also admitted that his ability was much worse than those big men in Kaifeng Prefecture, he was just a legitimate daughter and would definitely be wholeheartedly supported. Can it be the same as those high-ranking investors who diversified investment?
"Dad, I think this Qi family's young master is pretty good. If you deal with it in person and don't want it, your daughter will inevitably suffer grievances when she passes." Yu Wei grabbed his father's hand, comforted him, and secretly said sorry to the Qi County Magistrate, hoping that his father would not hold too much grudge.
"Hmph, I'm going to see if there is a Qianlong trapped in the quagmire in his Qi family." Yu Jian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.
"Dad, be careful, Xiaoxiao, put it here." Yu Wei saw the maid Xiaoxiao coming over with a tray, moving the stool away, and asking Xiaoxiao to put the chicken soup in front of Yu Jian.
"Dad, this is the prescription I got from the Yushen Pavilion. It is said to be the best medicinal food, suitable for people like Dad to nourish the body. You can taste it." Yu Wei held his cheek with both hands and stared at Yu Jian.
"Well, the taste is good, it doesn't taste that much." Yu Jian doesn't like to drink medicine, but the medicinal food is pretty good.
"It's good if my dad likes it. I make it for my dad every day." Yu Wei was very happy, it's good if his dad likes it.
"Hey, Wei'er, you're a lifelong event, and you can't delay it anymore. Otherwise, how should I go to see your mother in the future? You know, your mother is used to nagging..." Yu Jian had no choice. It was because he was worried about the brothers in his hometown that he brought this precious daughter to his side and was preparing to arrange the marriage himself. Unexpectedly, there was no suitable one yet, and the marriage was nowhere to be achieved.
"Dad, I guess it's because the fate has not come, so I can't come." Yu Wei stood up and rubbed his father's shoulders, although she knew that she should have a fate with that elder brother Zhao.
After drinking the medicinal food, Yu Jian felt that his body was warm and he was kneaded again, which made him feel much more comfortable. He would be happy to stay with him and keep such a daughter for the rest of his life.
"Wei'er, why don't you ask for a gift?" Yu Jian didn't have this idea at first. He has a son, and he might have another one in the future.
