Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 182 Sending troops to Beizhou
To be honest, Li Buqi, a technician who spends all day in laboratories and factories, really doesn’t know much about the history of the Song Dynasty except for major events, so he really wants to see what the ancient peasant wars were like .When Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai revolted last time, he was busy earning his own life, and there were few sources of information, so he didn't know the truth.This time the position is stable, and there is also a certain intelligence network, which can collect all kinds of information in detail, so Li Buqi is going to move a bench and take a piece of melon to sit and watch the Maitreya performance, so that he can really weigh the weight of the Maitreya and then finally Decide how to solve the Maitreya problem.

As a result, the people taught by Maitreya really refreshed Li Buqi's cognition.Before the uprising started, there was actually a man with a sharp knife in his pocket who wanted to force Jia Chaochang to surrender to the Maitreya Sect by taking advantage of the opportunity of visiting Beijing (Daming Mansion) and staying behind Jia Chaochang.Do you feel that your actions are unknown and sensational enough, so you want to hold a press conference?
Besides, why did you rebel and find this kind of bureaucrats who have done more than succeed and fail?Li Buqi was completely speechless about the level of Maitreya teaching.

How could a high-ranking official like Jia Chaochang, who was once a prime minister, easily give up his high-ranking official salary and play with you bunch of brainless people?As a result, there was no suspense, and this believer named Pan Fangjing was caught.

Then Beizhou got the news, and under the leadership of the military officer Wang Ze, it was launched ahead of schedule on the winter solstice, and officials such as Zhang Deyi, the Zhizhou, were captured, and the rebel army occupied the city and defended it.The action of the rebel army below made Li Buqi dumbfounded again.They didn't mean to rush to attack other towns to gather food and grass, or to move from this heavily guarded place to find a place to build a foundation, but to stay in the city and busy establish a small court.

Wang Ze claimed to be the king of Dongping County, with Zhang Luan as the prime minister and Bu Ji as the privy envoy. The country name was "Anyang" and the year name was "Desheng".This is exactly the opposite of what Zhu Wen said, "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly." This is a slow death.Then Jia Chaochang learned of the news of the Beizhou Uprising and quickly sent Hao Zhi to suppress it. Now Wang Ze and the others couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

From this moment on, Li Buqi was completely relieved of the Maitreya Sect—this is purely a group of reckless heroes. If you want to threaten Da Song, let's save it, at most it is a bunch of chaos.I don't feel sorry for such a group of people who can be used as stepping stones.

So in December, when Zhao Zhen sent Mai Yunyan, the prison guard, Wang Kai, and Gaoyangguan, who were sent by Zhao Zhen to suppress the rebellion, after Wang Xin was repeatedly defeated, Zhao Zhen asked at the court meeting again: "My dear family, Do you have any plans?"

Li Buqi looked around. It was strange that no one suggested that he take the Zhenwu Army to suppress the rebellion this time.It is estimated that the civil servants have too much psychological shadow, and no one wants to mess with him anymore.But this time he wants to take the initiative to ask to send troops, not for anything else, let his subordinates experience the war is good for their growth.And didn't you see that most of the people who ended the old dynasty started their careers by suppressing the rebel army?In order to be able to rise one more liter, Li Buqi also wanted to grab this job.

He just raised his feet, but saw that Zhang Yaozuo had already left the shift and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend someone who can defeat the rebels."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked: "Zhang Qing, tell me quickly."

Zhang Yaozuo said: "The minister recommends that Li Buqi, the military supervisor, lead the Zhenwu army to fight the rebellion."

After saying this sentence, all eyes turned to Li Buqi.Li Buqi hurriedly stepped out of the shift and said, "I am willing to share the worries of the imperial court for His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "It's so good. If you don't give up the reputation of being able to catch thieves, you will surely succeed in no time. I wonder how many soldiers you need?"

Li Buqi said: "I saw that the report in the residence said that there are more than ten thousand rebels in Beizhou. There are many troops stationed in the cities and villages around Beizhou. There are already nearly [-] troops under the city. You just need to lead the Zhenwu army and craftsmen to go there. It is estimated that the utility of recruiting another batch of these people will be almost the same for the time being.”

Zhao Zhen immediately said: "Okay, that's it, I ordered you to..."

Before he finished speaking, a person said in a low voice: "Slow down! Your Majesty, Li Buqi has never led an army by himself. As he is in charge of counter-insurgency affairs, one is afraid that he will not be able to convince the crowd, and the other is that he will be rash when he underestimates the enemy. I think that you should choose an experienced and prudent minister to take care of this matter, and Li Buqi will assist you."

There are indeed not many hairless people like Li Buqi in the court, so it is normal for people to distrust him.So Li Buqi didn't say anything, but he saw clearly that it was Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong who spoke, and he was waiting for his next words.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Chen Qing is right, but who can do this?"

Chen Zhizhong said: "The minister recommended the privy direct bachelor, who knows Kaifeng Fu Minghao, as a measure to appease Hebei."

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Scholar Ming, what do you think?"

Ming Hao immediately stepped out of the class and bowed: "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of His Majesty and the court, how dare you refuse."

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Scholar Ming, how many soldiers do you need?"

"The book of war states, 'Ten to encircle, and five to attack'. Therefore, Li Buqi said that more than [-] people can capture Beizhou. I thought it was a frivolous statement. Please send another [-] troops from the surrounding military states. Surround and attack."

Gao Ruona, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, said at this time: "I think that what the scholars of the Ming Dynasty said is a perfect strategy. When the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were in Shaanxi as a transfer envoy, they were famous for building fortresses and training troops strictly. The bachelor's plan is credible. Gaoyangguan has deployed Wang Xin for a long time, and if he is the commander of the army and horses, under the command of the Ming bachelor, he will be able to win the battle."

Zhao Zhen looked at the other ministers, except for the privy envoy Xia Ji who did not speak, and others were seconding, so he made a decision: "In this case, I will appease Hebei with the size of a Ming scholar, and Li Buqi will lead the Zhenwu Army to assist. Xin is the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, and is controlled by Ming scholars."

Ming Hao said, "The minister is in command."

Li Buqi remained silent.Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look at him, Li did not abandon the two evils and choose the lesser, so he had to say: "If you say that you are not a minister who assists Ming scholars, you are young, and you can learn from Ming scholars. I just have a request."

Zhao Zhen said, "If you have any request, just say it."

Li Buqi said: "The Zhenwu army has never experienced a large battle, let alone a siege. I am afraid that if you rush into the siege battle, there will be nothing left after one battle."

Gao Ruona said: "This is a mistake. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, how can you not go out because you are afraid of death? What's the use of Zhenwu Army?"

Li Buqi was really afraid that Minghao would ruin the Zhenwu Army, so he said without giving in: "It's not that I'm afraid that the Zhenwu Army will be wiped out, but that it will be worthless. Your Majesty has devoted a lot of effort to the Zhenwu Army." If you want to train a strong army, if it is wasted, your majesty's hard work will be wasted. Therefore, if you want to use the Zhenwu army, you must get your consent."

This is questioning Minghao's command level.Ming Hao sneered and said: "The Zhenwu Army is only a thousand strong, so it is optional. Even without the Zhenwu Army, I can take Beizhou City. Please make an order from your Majesty, the Zhenwu Army will not have to go."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the emperor hurriedly talked to each other, but he still favored the Zhenwu Army he formed: "Okay, okay, it's all for the sake of the country, don't be arrogant. I remember that Buqi once said that a strong army is not made by training, but by training. It was made out, but there are few Zhenwu soldiers, and it is not very useful to fill it in, so let the Zhenwu army go to see what is going on in the battle formation."

At this time, Xia Ji also followed the emperor's wishes and said: "I think Beizhou's military situation is on fire, so Ming scholars should stop arguing about these trivial matters. The most important thing is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible."

Xia Ji and Ming Hao had been at loggerheads all this time, and at this time it was obvious that Ming Hao was tripping him up, but his words were impeccable and in line with the emperor's thoughts, so Ming Hao had no choice but to say: "Yes." Then he said to the emperor : "Your Excellency, please go to Hebei tomorrow morning, and strive to bring those Xiaoxiao to justice as soon as possible."

The emperor immediately went down the donkey and asked people to draw up an order to appoint Ming Hao and Li Buqi.After the dynasty was over, Ming Hao was busy going back to make arrangements for going to Hebei.Li Buqi also immediately went back to the supervisor to arrange the work, and then went home to prepare his luggage.When I got home, I saw Zhao Min turning around Xing'er, Zhang Yingniang and others, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Ladies, stop. My husband is going to fight, not to enjoy the blessings. Just bring a few changes of clothes and that's it. "

Zhao Min insisted on bringing some more clothes for Li Buqi, so Li Buqi had to call Zhang Yingniang to the study first.Zhang Yingniang asked: "Do you have to go to Beizhou? Those people are also poor people who are oppressed by corrupt officials and have no way out."

Li Buqi sighed: "Their final outcome is already doomed. Even if I don't kill them, others will kill them. In this case, it's better to let them give some credit to my husband, so that it is better to do things for my husband." It’s more convenient. The husband is not for himself, so this Beizhou must be taken down, and it’s best for the husband.”

Seeing that Zhang Yingniang didn't say anything anymore, Li Buqi arranged for her to receive good information at home to protect the safety of her home.Early the next morning, he took Tao Lin and other people pretending to be utility men and followed Ming Hao to Beizhou.The Zhenwu Army also received the order to march, and then arrived at the fastest marching speed.
