I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 210 Yongning City (please subscribe)
Lin Xingquan was sitting boredly in the cargo station, seemingly waiting for merchants to come to his door.

Since the cargo station was set up as a temporary base for Jinyiwei last year, Lin Xingquan has been stationed at the cargo station, responsible for delivering information.

Although this kind of life is relatively leisurely, Lin Xingquan is eager to make contributions and is not satisfied with this working status.At this moment, he saw his superior, Jin Yiwei Baihu Xiao Ge, walking in from outside.

Xiao Ge dressed up as a businessman. When he arrived at the cargo station, he put the goods aside and gave Lin Xingquan a hint. Lin Xingquan understood immediately, closed the cargo station with the door panel, and followed Xiao Ge back and forth towards the backyard.

There were already Jin Yiwei waiting in the backyard of the cargo station.

"Master Baihu!"

"Master Baihu!"

······
Hearing everyone's greetings, Xiao Ge nodded, took off the hat on his head and put it aside, and said to them solemnly:

"Master Qianhu sent a letter saying that the imperial court has sent a large army to raid Yongning. Now the army has set off from Neijiang two days ago. The deputy general soldier of Yansui Town is the vanguard, leading the light cavalry to attack Yongning. I believe it will arrive in Yongning soon. Under the city, Lord Qianhu asked us to make preparations early and learn more about She Chongming’s movements and the distribution of the rebels. If we can cooperate internally and externally by then, it would be best to help the imperial court conquer Yongning.”

After hearing this, everyone began to think about it. Yongning is far from Neijiang. It is estimated that it will only take two or three days to travel by Qingqi. If nothing happens, the arrival time will be today and tomorrow.

"Since we bribed the chefs of She Mansion last year, they have been fully aware of She Chongming's movements. She Chongming has not left the mansion in the past few days, and there is nothing strange in the city. It seems that the imperial court's dispatch of troops to suppress it has not aroused alarm. "

"Yes, the city's defense has not changed much until now. Although Yongning Commander Fan Long is guarding Yongning, he left the city a few days ago and has not returned in the past few days."

Jinyiwei was stationed in Yongning during this period, and he had already figured out the situation of Yongningwei.

"This man is She Chongming's son-in-law. She Chongming has great trust in him. He is not only responsible for the defense of Yongning, but also for daily military training. Since he is not in the city, he must be training secretly on the rooftop or Dishui."

After Jinyiwei's long-term secret investigation, it was discovered that She Chongming was secretly training troops in three places, namely Dishui and Tiantai in the southeast of Yongning City, and Linzhou City further to the southeast. These three places are located in deep mountains, with many It is more convenient to hide in tiankeng and underground caves, so Fan Long will visit these places from time to time every day.

"It's really a God-given opportunity. Since there are no police in the city, we can prepare and don't miss this opportunity."

When Xiao Ge heard this, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come. They had long been tired of staying in Yongning City for so long. Seeing that this situation was coming to an end, he immediately began to assign tasks.

"Lin Xingquan, you can sort out the distribution of the Yongning Guards we collected today. It will be of great use once the army enters the city."

"Yi Rufang, you send people to keep an eye on She Mansion, especially She Chongming's movements. Once the army enters the city, we can act as guides and lead the army directly to She Mansion to capture She Chongming."

"We are afraid that it will be difficult for the city gate defenders to sneak in, but we have worked hard today and tomorrow to keep an eye on it at all times. As long as there is any movement at the north gate, we will set fire to the city to disrupt the defenders and create opportunities for the government troops to attack the city."

"Little understand!"

Everyone immediately responded after hearing the words. They all knew that this matter was of great importance and they must not take it lightly.
-
It is getting late. Although there is no curfew in Yongning City, the city is small after all, and life at night is also very boring. Many people go home early before the sun sets, making Yongning City look particularly deserted.

There is only one exception, and that is Yongning She Mansion.

As the local emperor of the Xuanfu Division in Yongning, the Yongning She family has survived for hundreds of years, and its mansion has been repaired to an extremely luxurious level. In addition, She Chongming speaks Chinese and has traveled widely, so he has attracted a large number of people to take advantage of him. , there are many literati and local students who have failed in their official career, as well as some who think they are brave and brave, desperadoes, etc.

Originally, She Chongming secretly made friends, fearing that the court would find out and punish him, but when he felt that the court was indifferent, he became more and more bold. He held banquets in the mansion to entertain everyone almost every day, both to win over people and to discuss important matters.

"Sir Xuanfu, the messenger previously sent to Shuixi Tongzhi Anbangyan has returned. He is still hesitant about your proposal and feels that he still needs to make more preparations and not to act too hastily."

In the study, She Chongming was discussing important matters with a group of literati staff. A clerk wearing a square scarf and holding a painting fan spoke.

"Ruo Hai doesn't need to worry. An Bangyan's family has a big business, so they are naturally very cautious in doing things. Besides, Li Yang, the governor of Guizhou, has always been suspicious of him. An Bangyan also used the name of Liaodong several times to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but he was dismissed by Li Yang. Otherwise, Already got up.

Furthermore, Shuixi Xuanwei Envoy An was young, but there were many people in the Shuixi'an clan. Although An Bangyan was powerful, he still needed to win over him slowly. "This man named He Ruohai shook his head when he heard this. He was a student from Yongning. He failed to pass the examination many times, so he gradually became dissatisfied and took refuge in She Chongming. He was the most educated person in the She Group and regarded himself as a great person. A man of great talent, now seeing She Chongming's words, naturally disagrees.

"Based on his humble position, An Bangyan is also the leader of both worlds. Although he is suspected by the governor of Guizhou, Li Sheng, the Shuixian family has lived in Guizhou for a long time. As long as there is no rebellion, the court will not act rashly. Now he is still waiting and watching. It depends on your situation. If you succeed in the first battle, he will definitely raise troops to help. If you fail in the first battle, he will switch sides and try his best to help the court."

She Chongming couldn't help but nod his head after thinking about He Ruohai's analysis. After dealing with An Bangyan for so many years, An Bangyan knew exactly what kind of person he was.

But now the situation is weaker than others. The Yongning She clan is incomparable to the Shuixi'an clan. Their territory, military strength, and prestige are all the way up to the sky. Therefore, if you want to succeed in raising an army this time, you must win over Shuixi, otherwise you will just have to wait for the imperial army to attack. , he couldn't resist it at all, so he had to attack first, and he would win the first battle, and even win a big victory.

"Has the commander-in-chief Si Yamen responded?"

"No, originally all the commanders and yamen were in a hurry, but after the Chinese New Year, the imperial court announced the great victory in Liaodong. The chieftains of Shizhu and Youyang defeated Jianqiu, and the war in Liaodong was not so urgent anymore."

Last year, She Chongming repeatedly requested to lead troops to Liaodong, and the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief Yamen also agreed. So She Chongming asked the court to allocate food, salary and departure expenses first. In order to delay the time, the Commander-in-Chief Commander Si Yamen also helped him raise military expenses. But since the imperial court's victory over Hunhe, the attitude of the commander-in-chief has become negative, and he has sent several official documents but has received no response. "

Another staff member dressed as a scholar in the room replied after hearing this.

The troops of Yongning Guard have not yet been trained well. If the troops are raised in a hurry, the gains will outweigh the losses. Otherwise, the original 4000 troops will simply be fighting against stone. Therefore, She Chongming thought of waiting until the autumn harvest this year before sending troops, but he did not expect the attitude of the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief. It changed so quickly.

"Is it because the commander-in-chief is suspicious of us? It's always been strange for me. The Hunhe victory happened in the first month of this year. But from the official documents, the Sichuan commander-in-chief has not responded to our request for departure since December last year. Please, I will no longer send messages to urge you on how the preparations are going.”

This question has always been hidden in He Ruohai's heart. This important matter of rebellion is to think about everything carefully and ensure that nothing goes wrong, otherwise one mistake will be irreversible.

The man in brocade clothes on the side also nodded in agreement. He is She Yin, the eldest son of She Chongming. He is both civilized and military, and has great ambitions.

"That's true, father. How about we send someone to Chengdu to inquire and see what's going on."

"Okay, you can bring some money to Chengdu tomorrow to inquire about the situation. Those officials have always looked down on us. It is impossible to open a road without money."

She Chongming also had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Recently, the imperial court sent a governor of Sichuan and Guizhou. I heard that this person has a stratagem and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him."

He Ruohai also heard about this news. In fact, the commander-in-chief did not respond to Yongning's request, which was okay. After all, the superiors did not have to explain to their subordinates.

However, people sent by the imperial court to Sichuan were usually appointed as governors of Sichuan, and there were very few governors. Now Zhu Xieyuan became the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou when he came. Could it be that he was using troops against Sichuan and Guizhou?

With evil intentions, everything he sees is problematic. Now that Xu Ruohai heard what She Chongming said, the more he thought about it, the more problematic he became, so he immediately suggested:

"Sir, isn't this Fan Long going to drip water? It's better to let him lead troops to Yongning or Shihuguan as soon as possible, just in case. The rest of the soldiers will let Luo Qianxiang continue training. Although this man often disobeys you, he is only training troops. , I don’t expect it to be able to make any big waves.”

She Chongming closed his eyes and thought about it again and again, and felt that it was indeed feasible. He was already over fifty, and his hatred for the Ming court was getting stronger. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked She Yin to check the situation. If he really noticed something, Then he directly went against it.

"Okay, then send people to Shuidi tomorrow and ask Fan Long to lead 1 Shuidi garrison troops to Yongning and Shihuguan in the name of training troops to assist in the suppression. Then send people to Tiantai and Linzhou to tell Luo Qianxiang and She Zhen, Let them step up training and form an army by early March at the latest."

"understand!"

At this time, Wen Yingkui's army had arrived ten miles away from Yongning Guard. They made a surprise attack 110 miles away. It only took them one day to arrive. The continuous attacks made them adaptable to the soldiers of the Trilateral Army Town, but Qin Minping But the chieftain soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. They were not proficient in riding skills, and now they had to attack for so long, and they immediately couldn't bear it.

The chieftain soldiers of Shizhu have always been famous for their strict military discipline, so they will naturally not complain. Now that the target is ahead, they are all holding their breath in their hearts, and they must take Yongning City.
