Can you live forever

Chapter 300 Students traveling north

Zhang Zhixiang left Qinyuan on May 24, and Tianwen detected the changes of the Shanxi merchants on the 27th.

When Zhang Zhixiang went south along the Taihang Mountains, he discovered the arrangement of Shanxi merchants in the Taihang Mountains. The Wang family must not have been unaware of this. Not only did they know, but they had already arranged for spies.

The information system of the Wang family is the most developed in the world. Although the factory guards have developed a bit in the past few years, they were cut too hard when Jiajing first succeeded to the throne. Now they are still not effective. They want to restore it to the Yongle years. The grand occasion is impossible.

It is not even as good as Wang Zhi, the admiral of Xichang, and Liu Jin in the Wu Zong Dynasty.

In the final analysis, the factory guards are the emperors who have no choice but to play like this. Jiajing does not need to rely too much on the factory guards, so the resources and development of the factory guards are also limited. In many cases, the intelligence capabilities are not as good as Tianwen.

The Fan family wanted to dispatch [-] elite soldiers to encircle and suppress Qinyuan, which was quite a commotion.

At the end of May, Tianwen even knew about the Fan family's battle plan, so there was a problem before Qinyuan. Zhang Zhixiang had already contacted the Beijing Normal University. don't go.

"How about sending the children to the capital after the Fan family is settled?"

At the executive committee meeting, Chen Qing felt that even if 20 elite soldiers were nothing, Qinyuan's previous plan was to fight against a large army of 20 to [-] troops, and only young people in their [-]s went to the capital.

The main force of Qinyuan's corps is still the Qingyangshan uprising army that moved westward. These people are all in their 40s and [-]s, and they are in their prime.

The new generation's going to the capital does not affect Qinyuan's main combat power, but only affects Qinyuan's war potential, but it is not afraid of [-], just in case, with more troops, the combat losses will be less.

Out of these considerations, Chen Qing thought it would be better to go to the capital after the war.

But Wang Jiangque disagreed: "After the war in Annan and Nanyang is over, will the equalization of land in Ming Dynasty be far behind? We are running out of time, and we must let the students receive training as soon as possible, and then go to various rural areas to work. .”

"If Shanxi merchants bring the so-called eight thousand elite soldiers, they can break through Qinyuan."

"Then our business these years is just a joke."

Bandits and private soldiers can never be compared with the regular army. This is determined by the nature of the army. The most effective army must be the most disciplined and most confident army.

In most cases, those bandits and private soldiers can only fight with the wind. Once the wind is against them, they are pure mobs.

Qinyuan's imaginary enemy has always been the Ming army, if even the [-] elite soldiers of the Shanxi merchants can't stop it, then the previous illusion will be a joke.

The truth is this, and they are not afraid of the 8000 people, but, "The Fan family and the Shanxi merchants must have no less than 8000 troops. The intelligence shows that there are only [-] people, but they may not be able to mobilize."

"I still don't understand why they want to attack us."

"Is it because Zhang Zhixiang killed Fan Lingyu, or the news that we are planning to equalize the land has spread? If so, the local government may cooperate with them."

"You have to guard against it."

The person who spoke was an old man named Wei Yuan, he was an old scholar, he used to teach in Qinyuan, but besides teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, he also taught books like "Mengxi Bi Tan", focusing on learning for practical use, Improve production and life.

Since the uprising army came to Qinyuan, the old man has been helping with education. Now he is the principal of Qinyuan University and a member of the executive committee.

The old gentleman's reputation is not high, but it does not mean that he has low knowledge.

As soon as he said this, he hit the nail on the head. Yes, Shanxi merchants want to deal with us, but why did they launch this attack? What is the incentive?
Different reasons will affect the scale of the war, which has to be considered.

Chen Qing also felt that this was the reason. His intuition told him that this time was very dangerous. Don't underestimate this intuition. He rose from the grass and survived so many times because of this intuition.

"Miss Wang, the situation is not good this time, so it's not appropriate to be aggressive."

Chen Qing and other leaders persuaded again, but Wang Jiangque did not change his mind, but looked at them and said, "You all know what kind of business we are doing and what kind of enemy we are facing."

"Although we have been doing a good job of keeping secrets, the outside world does not know our specific situation."

"However, they know what we do."

"Before Annan Juntian, they may not have needed to deal with us with all their strength, but Annan Juntian has already started, and I think the gentry will not sit still and wait for death."

"For Qinyuan, this will be a very difficult test, and we are not sure that we can pass it 100%."

"so."

"We must plan for the worst. If Qinyuan is compromised, will the fire of change be extinguished? Before they can encircle and launch an attack, we must select a group of students to go to the capital."

Chen Qing looked at Wang Jiangque's serious look, and suddenly understood why Wang Jiangque stayed in Qinyuan after his wedding.

she guessed...

From the very beginning when the information about Annan Juntian came, she guessed that Zhang Zhixiang didn't sense the crisis in Qinyuan because he had more important things to do, but Wang Jiangque had already anticipated this day .

She didn't even tell Wang Yuanzhi...

Jiajing, Wang's family, and Zhang Zhixiang, all their minds are on the war in Annan and Nanyang.

"I agree, let the students go to the capital. This is a training for them. Although there will be dangers along the way, I believe they can solve it."

Chen Qing expressed his approval, and the capital has sent the relevant formalities to the capital in an expedited eight hundred miles, and the students can march directly to the capital.

Wei Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "It is true that some students should be sent out, but not all young people. Only children aged 16 to 20 should be sent. There are about 1 students."

Originally, 8000 people were going to be sent there, but Wei Yuan chopped off most of them at once.

The rest of the executive committee also thought it was the best way. They discussed for a while and looked at Wang Jiangque. Wang Jiangque nodded calmly and agreed to the proposal.

The next step is to discuss some specific arrangements and war responses.

Before sending the children away, they did not release the information about the Shanxi merchants. They organized the students in just half a day and made a trip for them. Asked: "How dangerous is this time?"

Wang Jiangque said calmly: "It is definitely bigger than Ma Wuzhai."

Chen Qing: "But there is no information from the officers and soldiers?"

Wang Jiangque shook his head and said: "It is enough to issue an order temporarily. Daming has a complete military system. As long as it is operating normally, the capitals of the three provinces around Taihang Mountain can send vanguard troops to the surrounding areas of Qinyuan within five days at most. Within ten days at most, the army will Press on."

"The number of soldiers capable of fighting will not be less than [-]."

From the battlefield in Annan, it can be seen that the capital of a province can only fight with [-] to [-] soldiers, and the interior is even smaller. However, in the seventh year of Jiajing, they were still suppressing the Qingyang Mountain Uprising Army, so the military equipment of Lianghe was not the same. No waste.

There are more than 20 elite soldiers, plus various auxiliary soldiers, there may be [-] troops.

It's really hard to beat.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and said, "I still can't believe it. Daming's country has become so rotten that the civil servants don't care about the emperor at all, and directly mobilized the local army."

Wang Jiangque shook his head and said: "We are the Qingyangshan uprising army. They have excuses, and they will be held accountable afterwards. That's all after the fact. They have their own power in the court to cover them up."

"As for the fact that we have formed an alliance with Jiajing, Jiajing has also issued a decree and a seal letter."

"It's useless."

"They won't admit it. Just say it's a forgery. No matter how angry Jiajing is, it won't change anything. Civil officials don't recognize an imperial decree that hasn't been drafted by the cabinet."

"Both sides are breaking the rules of the game with each other, and the future will only become more chaotic."
