The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

"What's wrong?" Hou Xun asked puzzledly.

Liang Yizhang said: "After the tens of thousands of intruders have set up camp, it is reasonable to attack the city directly, or to recharge their batteries and wait for the attack tomorrow.

At this time, they were performing martial arts in front of the camp. They seemed to be very powerful and wanted to shock us, but in fact they were probably hiding something. "

Hou Xun smiled and said, "What can you hide? You have a clear view of Shangqiu City. Is it possible that they can send other troops to attack?"

Liang Yizhang shook his head.

They knew too little about Chuang Jun's current situation, and he couldn't guess Chuang Jun's true purpose.

The next morning.

A Wei army of more than 5,000 people arrived outside the south gate of Shangqiu City.

Hou Xun went over to take a look in person and saw that the leader was Qu Xiaofeng, commander of the 6th Brigade of the Standing Army whom he had met in Yongcheng. He couldn't help but said happily: "Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome us!"

Liang Yizhang saw that the soldiers in this army were all wearing gray-green armor, with a high armor coverage rate and a high firearms equipment rate. They were definitely not disguised by intruders, so he nodded and asked the soldiers to open the south city gate.

Hou Xun, however, had already hurriedly led others down to greet him.

Liang Yizhang shook his head.

If this were in the Ming Dynasty, where would Hou Xun, as the governor, go to meet a general? Not to mention, the generals of the Wei army who came this time only brought a few thousand soldiers and horses, and their general positions seemed to be similar to those of the Ming Dynasty's military generals and deputy commander-in-chief.

Although he secretly laughed at Hou Xun's behavior, since he surrendered, Liang Yizhang did not dare to neglect the general too much, and also went to greet him with his entourage.

Qu Xiaofeng and Ning Wen (brigade political officers) only brought the guard battalion into the city, while the rest of the brigade troops camped outside the city.

They rode into the city. When they saw Hou Xun and others, they didn't show any concern. They immediately dismounted and exchanged greetings.

Once again completing the "important task" assigned by Liu Sheng, Hou Xun was now glowing and became the introducer.

In his eyes, it was obvious that the generals of the Yi army had a higher status, so he introduced Qu Xiaofeng and others first.

"Let me introduce you. This is Major General Qu Xiaofeng, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the Standing Army, and this is Major General Ning Wen, the political officer of the brigade."

Seeing that Yan Zekong, Wang Shixiu and others looked confused and obviously did not understand the military positions of Weibu, Hou Xun was slightly proud and explained: "The standing army of Weibu can be equivalent to the elite frontier army. As for the brigade commander, he is almost the same as the general soldier. .

By the way, Brigadier Qu, isn't there more than 10,000 people in your brigade? Why are there only more than 5,000 people here this time? "

The others came to their senses and also had this question.

Wang Shixiu reminded: "General Qu, there may be hundreds or tens of thousands of intruders attacking Guide this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with only a few thousand people."

Liang Yizhang also arrived at this time. When the two asked questions, he cupped his hands and didn't ask any more questions.

Qu Xiaofeng said: "Counsellor Hou doesn't know. According to the Fengwei intelligence, most of the invading troops in Guide Prefecture have withdrawn. There should be some changes in Kaifeng or Henan (prefecture). Now there are only tens of thousands of invading troops in Guide Prefecture." That’s all.

Therefore, this time I led the brigade to garrison Shangqiu and sent a second regiment to garrison Yucheng, which was enough to curb the eastward advance of the invading army. "

After hearing this, Hou Xun and others could not react for a while, but Liang Yizhang suddenly said: "No wonder the tens of thousands of intruders in the north behaved so abnormally. It turns out that Li Zicheng's main force has already withdrawn."

At this time, the guard of the northern city wall sent someone over.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, the intruders have withdrawn!"

As soon as the Yi army came, the Chuang army withdrew?

Yan Zekong, Wang Shixiu and others all felt a little incredible, as did Hou Xun, who had previously boasted about the power of the Wei army.

It should be noted that there were about 30,000 Chuang troops from the north before, but only more than 5,000 Yi troops came to reinforce them.

After coming back to their senses, everyone looked at the soldiers of the guard camp who were standing still except for some soldiers who were sent to guard the city gate after entering the city. They felt inexplicably awe of the Yi army in their hearts.

"Commander Qu and Ning Junzheng, stop standing here," Hou Xun broke the silence and greeted enthusiastically, "We have prepared a banquet at the best restaurant in the city to welcome the generals of the Sixth Brigade."

Qu Xiaofeng shook his head, "There's no need to accept the wind and wash the dust. Who is in charge of the military in the city? First arrange a station for the guard battalion near the south city wall, and then discuss the city defense with us."

Liang Yizhang saw that Qu Xiaofeng attached great importance to military affairs and immediately had a good impression. He immediately came out and said, "I am Zhang Yin (pseudonym of Liang Yizhang), who is temporarily in charge of the military in the city. I have met General Qu."

Qu Xiaofeng was slightly confused after hearing this.

As far as he knew, wasn't Liang Yizhang, the magistrate of Shangqiu, in power?

Hou Xun immediately stepped forward and said, "This is Liang Yizhang. He was worried about involving his relatives in Baoding, so he changed his name to Zhang Yin."

"I see."

Qu Xiaofeng understood, and immediately gave Liang Yizhang a fist and walked towards the city with everyone.

After understanding the situation with Liang Yizhang, Qu Xiaofeng discovered that there were many Ming troops in Shangqiu.

There are thousands of soldiers in the camp led by the garrison side seek victory.

There are more than 3,000 local soldiers and more than 4,000 local warriors.

A total of more than 8,000 people.

Shangqiu City is not small, and it is a little nervous to defend the city with only more than 5,000 people from Qu Xiaofeng's brigade. Moreover, the standing army of the Wei tribe is not used to defend the city.

Therefore, after discussing with Liang Yizhang and others, Qu Xiaofeng decided to select and reorganize the local Ming army in Shangqiu.

Because the battalion soldiers and rural soldiers were relatively elite, and the rural bravery was not too bad, it only took three days for Qu Xiaofeng and others to eliminate those who were unqualified and unwilling to join the army, and reorganized a guard regiment and a civilian brave regiment.

Of course, the local garrison and civilian bravery do not mean that the generals can reorganize as many as they want - if they do not have the power to make ad hoc decisions, they must report to the Military Affairs Council for reorganization; if they have the power to make ad hoc decisions, they also need to report to the Military Affairs Council afterwards. Report.

Now it is the time for the troops to be deployed in the Weibu Department. Generals at the brigade level and above basically have the power to make decisions on the fly. They can first reorganize the local army and then report it to the superiors.

If there are too many garrison troops and civilian soldiers trained locally and it is unreasonable, the Military Academy will order rectification.

Liang Yizhang participated in the selection and reorganization throughout the whole process, and gained a deeper understanding of the military system of the Wei army, its strict discipline, and its strong combat power, and he was never unwilling to surrender to the Wei army.

The next day, he took his family and went south to Nanjing with the Hou family, his father and others.

According to Liu Sheng's order, if Shangqiu and other four cities surrendered, Wang Shixiu would take over as the prefect of Guide, and Yan Zekong and Liang Yizhang would both be transferred.

Yan Zekong was transferred to Sizhou Prefecture (affiliated to Huainan Province) as the magistrate, and Liang Yizhang went to Nanjing to serve as a staff officer of the Guards.

···

Hou Xun, Liang Yizhang and others traveled down the Yellow River and canal at a fast and comfortable pace, and arrived in Nanjing in only three days.

Not far after entering the city, I heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts coming from behind.

"Great victory!"

"The Fifth Division captured Ganzhou Fucheng!"

Looking back, I saw a cavalryman riding a horse holding a cloth. Hou Xun and others quickly moved to the street.

When the victorious cavalry ran over, the excited chatter of the people on the street reached the ears of Hou Xun, Liang Yizhang and others.

"Yesterday we conquered Nan'an Fucheng, and today we conquered Ganzhou Fucheng. This fifth division is really powerful!"

"I heard that the commander of the Fifth Division was originally the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king of the bandits, named Li Dingguo."

"This Li Dingguo is indeed powerful. In less than half a month, he attacked Nanxiong, Nan'an, and Ganzhou, and defeated the Ming army to a complete defeat."

"I would say that the two independent brigades that achieved victory in the past few days were quite powerful. They successively attacked Linjiang Prefecture and Yuanzhou Prefecture."

"Hey, according to this, if the Yi army takes Ji'an Prefecture again, it will join forces in the north and south of Jiangxi?"

"Do you still know the geography of Jiangxi?"

"Haha, I've traveled a lot, so I know a thing or two..."

After hearing these discussions, Hou Xun and Liang Yizhang couldn't help but look surprised.

Hou Fangyu couldn't help but said: "In less than half a month, the Yi army will open up Jiangxi?"

Although Hou Xun also found it incredible, he still said: "The teacher of the king is invincible!"

Liang Yizhang had become immune to Hou Xun Zunmei's extreme attitude along the way. At this time, he just glanced at it. He thought about the upcoming meeting with Xingmei King Liu Sheng, but he couldn't help but become a little nervous...

Forbidden City.

Fengtian Temple.

Although good news was spreading in the city, he was not happy at this time.

He received the good news about Li Dingguo's capture of Ganzhou's capital city this morning, along with relevant battle reports. Lu Bu's success was naturally arranged intentionally.

After Li Dingguo captured Nan'an Prefecture, he immediately went down the Zhang River and successfully raided the capital city of Ganzhou, and then captured two capital cities in succession with very few casualties.

In addition, according to information from Jiangxi Xunfengwei, Pan Zenghong, the governor of Southern Gansu in the Ming Dynasty, was defeated by Huang Gan and Lin Zhanfei in Linjiang Mansion. Although he led the remnants of his troops to escape to Ji'an Mansion, he became ill and could not take charge.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty currently has no one in charge in central and southern Jiangxi, and it is only a matter of time before Jiangxi is completely captured by the Yi army.

Therefore, Liu Sheng was unhappy not because of the military situation in Jiangxi, but because of a "troublesome incident" in Nanjing.

In the hall, Bai Xiaosheng, who had just arrived, saw Liu Sheng's expression was cold and solemn, with a faint murderous intent. He couldn't help but tense up and secretly reminded himself that this errand must be very important and must not go wrong.

"How many people are there in Xiuyi Guards now?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Back to the king, one regiment of formal soldiers has been recruited, and more than a thousand non-staff informants have been developed."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly and asked, "How many days will it take Xiuyiwei to investigate the details of the grain merchants in Nanjing City and even Yingtian Mansion?"

First update.
