Chongzhen Undergraduates

Wang Yingxiong changed his expression when he turned his face, and smiled amiably. The old fox's face-changing ability can be called the stunt of Sichuan.

"General Yang, how many students are there in Yibin now?" Wang Yingxiong looked at Yang Zhan with a smile and said.

"The thieves opened the department last year, and only a few hundred students were forcibly taken away in the whole of Sichuan, and only 32 were admitted. And from the middle of this year, the thieves tortured the officials, causing a large number of students and officials to flee south.

They have all fled to the humble defense zone, and Yibin is already overwhelmed.The humble official is about to invite the governor, how should we deal with this matter?"

Yibin is indeed facing this problem now. Since Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan from the direction of Chongqing, a large number of refugees from Chengdu flocked to Yibin, resulting in a sudden increase in the population of Yibin.

Although Yang Zhan has increased the source of troops, the difficulty of governing has also increased.He is already considered a cadre, but after all, he was born as a general, and the current situation made it difficult for him to stand or fall.

"This matter must be reported to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor is sympathetic to the people in the middle of Sichuan, and the conquest has come here. My Ming Dynasty will have a revival." Wang Yingxiong said a few words against his will in front of Yang Zhan. In fact, he was not optimistic about Zhu You. Check out this set.

Yang Zhan basically got a positive signal from Wang Yingxiong, and he felt much more at ease.

The lunch was very rich, but Wang Yingxiong didn't eat much.Moreover, the honor of the emperor giving a banquet alone could not satiate the diners. Wang Yingxiong pretended to be old and his teeth were weak, and put down the bowl and chopsticks after casually tasting two bites of egg custard or something like that.

However, Yang Zhan, who is a general, saw all these in his eyes the whole time, and he began to look forward to whether he could be promoted.

"Yang Aiqing, with your talent, you are a little inferior in Yibin. Now is the time when the country employs people, and I intend to let you come to Chongqing as the commander-in-chief. What do you think?" Zhu Youjian said very sincerely, with a serious expression.

Yang Zhan was overjoyed. Given the number of soldiers under him, he should have been named the general soldier long ago, but Wang Yingxiong's reason has been delaying.But he actually didn't want to leave Yibin in his heart.

Just like Wu Sangui was unwilling to give up the Guanning Army, Yibin's army was pulled up by Yang Zhan alone, and Zhu Youjian didn't even know how many people Yang Zhan had.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister. There is General Zeng in Chongqing..."

"I have ordered General Zeng to go north to Hechuan in a few days. Now that Chongqing is empty of troops, I feel a little uneasy about stationing in Chongqing. I want to ask Yang Aiqing to escort me. I wonder if Yang Aiqing has any concerns?" Zhu Youjian interrupted Yang Zhan's words.

Zeng Ying did go north, but it was not Nanchong, but Hechuan Fishing City.The main forces in Chongqing are all arranged for training in Qijiang, and there are only [-] Dangshousu and Yu Dahai's navy in the city who haven't had time to change their outfits.

"Since the emperor dispatched it, it is my duty to do so. However, I suggest that Yibin should not let go easily, and needs to send a general to guard."

Yang Zhan thought for a while, and it was a good thing to come to escort the emperor, but he was reluctant to part with Yibin. According to his calculations, it would be best for him to bring half of the soldiers to Chongqing, and then his son Yang Jingxin would continue to guard the other half in Yibin. .

"I don't know how many soldiers Yang Aiqing has?" Zhu Youjian asked sincerely with eager expectations on his face.Similarly, Wang Yingxiong also pricked up his ears, he actually knew that Yang Zhan had the most pawns in his hands.

"Weichen temporarily has 13 soldiers and horses in Yibin." Seeing that the emperor trusted him so much, Yang Zhan reported a real number.After all, if you rise to the level of the emperor, you will have to face the problem of military pay in the future.

"My Shuzhong seems to be all dependent on Yang Aiqing! When Zhu Youjian heard this, he immediately showed a happy and stable expression, as if he wanted to curry favor with Yang Zhan.

Wang Yingxiong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that, he really didn't expect Yang Zhanfu to be like this.

This is why Zhu Youjian was able to directly lead troops to mobilize Zeng Ying and deceive Wang Yingxiong, but he dared not go directly eastward to Luzhou and Yibin.

Just imagine, the general who was able to force Zhang Xianzhong to throw all his treasures into the river during the battle at the mouth of the Pengshan River, it is impossible for him to have only 5 to [-] people.

Zhang Xianzhong, like Li Zicheng, was a money fan, and their money followed the old camp.Since Zhang Xianzhong wanted to take these treasures down the river, he had made plans to retreat.

With Zhang Xianzhong's pissing nature, at least 20 million people should be escorted.To drive 20 million people into a desperate situation, Zhu Youjian initially estimated for Yang Zhan that the minimum number of troops should be more than 8, but he did not expect that there were as many as 13.

"Just do what Aiqing wants." Zhu Youjian readily agreed to Yang Zhan's request, and immediately promoted Yang Zhan's son, Yang Jingxin, to the position of deputy commander.

According to Zhu Youjian's intention, Yang Zhan will bring [-] elites to Chongqing in a few days, and he will also bring his subordinates Li Gande, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others together.At that time, the imperial court will center on Chongqing and begin to suppress the Daxi regime.

After Yang Zhan left, Wang Yingxiong collapsed to the ground on the spot, unable to get up even with his arms.

"Wang Aiqing, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Yingxiong with a smile.

"Does what the emperor said still count?" Wang Yingxiong wiped the sweat from his forehead. What he cares about most now is his family.

In the original history, Wang Yingxiong died early, but he did not see Yang Zhan's defeat.It should be said that Yang Zhan's command ability is good, but he can't employ people. In the end, he was tricked and killed by Yuan Tao and Wu Dading, just like Gao Jie's end, what a pity.

But Zhu Youjian is more willing to ask for Yang Zhan's soldiers, because these people are the children of good families who joined the army not long ago.Unlike Gao Jie, who are all soldiers and ruffians.

"One word from a gentleman, four horses are hard to follow!" Zhu Youjian dropped a sentence to Wang Yingxiong, and then rushed to the headquarters.

"13 people! Hahahaha." Zhu Youjian laughed happily as soon as he entered the gate of the headquarters.He had never smiled like this.

"Did your majesty find out about Yang Zhan's troops?" Zuo Mao was the first to hear about 13, and knew that Yang Zhan's matter must have some clues.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. The real good things in Sichuan are all in the east of Sichuan." Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, and he now thinks of Yang Zhan who chased Zhang Xianzhong away after the battle of Pengshan Jiangkou, and then salvaged some of them. treasure.

At that time, Yang Zhan could be said to be a warlord who had the strength to turn the tables, but in the end, the imprint left in history was not as famous as Zeng Ying.

Time also!Fate!Lucky too!

"Hurry up and make a battle plan, and don't let these 13 people escape." Zhu Youjian said fiercely with blood red eyes when he turned around.

"But Your Majesty, are you really sure that Yuan Tao, Wu Dading, and Li Gande will betray Yang Zhan?" Zuo Maodi can make a battle plan, but he knows that Zhu Youjian actually knew about the gap between the generals in Shu, Some doubts.Ordinarily, the hidden stake of the factory guard in Shuzhong did not have this ability.

"They don't rebel? Even if I use my official position, I will spend money on them until they rebel." Of course, Zhu Youjian can't say that I know the history.

"Your Majesty, do you want to keep Yang Zhan?" Zuo Maodi asked.

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he felt a little troubled.Yang Zhan is more talented than Gao Jie, but he is also somewhat arrogant and unwilling to give power to others.This person looks like a character of the rich second generation, there will be problems keeping it, and it would be a pity to kill it.He was in a difficult situation for a while.

"Pass down the order and do not harm Yang Zhan's life." In the end, Zhu Youjian decided to keep Yang Zhan, not for anything else, but because Yang Zhan was still loyal to him, at least he would come as soon as he shouted.

Chapter 3 and Nine: Forming the Sichuan Army

It is unrealistic to transfer 8 people from Yibin to Chongqing by water.

Zhu Youjian is not Zuo Liangyu, and he can't do such a crazy move like tens of thousands of people going down the river.In fact, it is impossible for Yang Zhan's garrison to concentrate in Yibin. They mainly traveled from Qianwei along the south bank to Luzhou.

However, after passing Luzhou, you have to go to Chongqing by land, and there is no big obstacle in this section.

What Yang Zhan wanted was to transfer Qianwei's direct troops to Yibin, and then transfer all the troops below Yibin to Chongqing. The main thing was that he could solve the problem of the troops' defense on the spot.

After the 8 people from the Yang Department completed the assembly within ten days, they were going to arrive in Chongqing before the New Year's Eve, so their schedule was still a bit tight.

Just after the former army arrived in Luzhou, Wu Dading of Neijiang declared that the journey was far away and it would take two days to feel it.And Yuan Tao from Luzhou reported to Yang Zhan that he decided to stay in Luzhou to wait for Wu Dading, and agreed that he would catch up with the former army on the follow-up trip.Yang Zhan was convinced.

"General, the Hejiang River is ahead. Shall we cross the river first and wait for the army later?" As Yang Zhan's master, Wu Yanghu always felt a little uneasy.

"There's no need to wait, let people build a pontoon bridge overnight, and cross the river before noon tomorrow."

Hejiang County is a strange place where three rivers converge.In addition to the Yangtze River, Xishui and Jinsha River also merged here and merged into the Yangtze River.But the confluence of these two rivers is only a few hundred steps wide, and the river is wide and the water is turbulent.

Yang's troops wanted to cross the river, so they had to build two pontoon bridges. When crossing the river, it was like letting the two rivers divide the army into three.

This is an extremely dangerous place, and if it is not a last resort for marching and fighting, they will not choose such a road.And from Qijiang to Hejiang, only 150 miles.

"General, I just asked the people by the river. Some people said that they heard movement on the river in the middle of the night two days ago, like a big boat sailing upstream. We have to guard against it." Wu Yanghu didn't give up, he hated this to death. kind of place.

"Master, I'm worrying too much. This place is sixty miles away from Luzhou, and it has always been our army's defense zone. What could happen?" Yang Zhan couldn't listen to Wu Yanghu's words.

"I think it's better to send someone up to explore, in case there is any accident?" Wu Yanghu continued to persuade.
