"Don't be anxious, say it slowly." Zheng Lang said: "Where did Jiaozhi launch an attack? How many times did the beacon fire burn?"

"Qinzhou, Lianzhou, three times."

"three times……"

“That’s right.”

If you want to convey the message as quickly as possible, you can only use beacon fire, but beacon fire can only serve as a warning function, so you can use the number of times to express the scale of the enemy's attack again. There is no need to tell the people. Officials from all states and counties have a clear idea.

But Zheng Lang was pondering.

It is understandable that Jiaozhi launched an attack on Qinlian and the two prefectures from the water route. In addition to the attempt to train the naval army during the Southern Tang Dynasty, the naval army was mostly abandoned after the Central Plains was actually unified. Or some wing troops were trained to prevent water bandits, but now almost even water bandits cannot be prevented.

Jiaozhi is different, facing the sea, and there are many rivers inland. The ship skills are not as good as those of the Song Dynasty. However, many soldiers are proficient in water and can also control boats, so they can calmly build a naval army.

This is the basis for both sides.

First launch an attack from Qinlian Prefectures and attract the limited main force of Guangdong and Guangxi, then the army on the land can be unimpeded and attacked Yongzhou. If it is defeated, it can retreat to the ship, and the Song army sighed. If it is divided, it can break through on both sides, and then the two armies can join the north, at least the entire Guangnan West Road will be destroyed. It can even enable them to realize their ambition to expand north. Don’t ask about Jiaozhi. In fact, in history, whether Jiaozhi or Goryeo is grinding out of the sky with its toughness from the Central Plains dynasty, although it often fails, its territory has been expanding. If you don’t pay attention to this army and focus on Yongzhou, then after they occupy Lian Qin, they will head to the west, and the two armies will cooperate. Attack the north and south, Yongzhou will be destroyed again.

As a Jiaozhi person, it is normal to choose such a tactic.

But I don’t know how many soldiers and horses Jiaozhi has dispatched.

Jiaozhi Kingdom is not big. At this time, it only owns some of Laos' territory north of China and Vietnam, and the number of teams will not exceed 100,000, but it is not easy to say. If the strong men from all the caves gather together, they can gather tens of thousands of people.

The beacon fire was set off three times, which means that the invasion was the highest degree of harm.

How many troops did Jiaozhi meet send this time?

The secret service camp has not sent the news yet, so it may not be accurate, but it will not float 20,000 people. The error is the number of people gathered.

Thinking of this, one of his guards said, "You go to Quanzhou and inform Zhang Ji, and ask him to bring all his soldiers. In addition, lead the 10th battalion to command the imperial guards nearby, and come to Guangnan West Road as quickly as possible, and do everything as planned."

As he said that, he sent a letter to him.

The original plan was to ask Zhang Ji to lead 6,000 soldiers to come. However, the situation was better last year. Although the road was built, under the comfort of Li Suzhi, and when he heard the changes in Guangdong and Guangxi, Zheng Lang would soon come to Liangjing. This would also bring them this change. All the familiar men were very quiet and even took the initiative to cooperate with the court's road construction. Everyone became good people, and Zhang Ji could not do anything anymore. Therefore, except for dozens of soldiers who died of illness, the eight thousand soldiers had almost no reduction in personnel.

Because of the threat of the Meishan Barbarians and Kuixia areas, the two Jings were also one of the areas where the Song Dynasty stationed more troops. The former 61st battalion was cut and turned into 52nd battalion. One was in Tanzhou, mainly guarding against the Meishan Barbarians, and the other was in Jiangling Prefecture, Dingzhou, and Lizhou, mainly guarding against the invasion of Kuixia Barbarians. Since Tanzhou, there were a total of 23 battalions and more than 10,500 soldiers. If a small number of empty wages were abandoned, it would be barely 10,000. Of course, the more troops in his hands, the better, but Zheng Lang dared not transfer them all. Before the Meishan Barbarians were settled, the local area must leave an army. Therefore, only the tenth battalion soldiers were recruited.

The guards rode away with their seals and rode away on horseback.

Yu Jing asked in surprise: "So Xingzhi, you have expected it long ago?"

"I expected the guards who wanted to insult me ​​the year before yesterday."

"Alas, Guangdong and Guangxi are not strong enough, so it is best to take harmony as the most important thing. Otherwise, once it cannot be stopped, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer. It is not necessary to deceive them." Yu Jing thought about it for a while. He was not stupid and felt that Jiaozhi invaded, which was mostly due to Zheng Lang's tough attitude.

"There will be a battle sooner or later. If I leave, Zhang Kang and other famous generals will also leave in the future, and Guangdong and Guangxi will be even more dangerous." Zheng Lang said. If you are not careful, a historical scene will continue to happen twenty years later. At that time, the population of Guangnan West Road was even denser, and it may increase its defense and may cause several times more deaths. If it were the latter, there would be a million corpses by then. But one thing that happened in your mind was that Yu Jing could govern the people, but he was too weak in military terms.

Guangdong and Guangxi not only need good officials, but also a minister who can be soft and hard.

Not only the Jiaozhi people, but the scale of development will be expanded in the future, and the dispute with Shengman is inevitable. With Yu Jing's attitude, it may lead to the pacification and appeasement incidents caused by harming the Han households as a means. If it were just like before, just drawing a picture on the map, the court would not take much care of Lingnan, but a large number of Han households came, which hurt their enthusiasm and allowed the Han households to return north, and the major events would be gone.

If that were the case, it would be better to be Cui Yi, who was impeached by Sun Yan.

Although this person becomes more and more greedy as he grows older, he seems to have to retire under Xue Xiang's forced responsibilities and escape from Xue Xiang's pursuit and fierce attack.

But it is very good at treating thieves.

He once set up a gate like a sword gate in Qutang Gorge and stuck to Kui Gorge to harm the Three Gorges. The foreign soldiers in Wenzhou attacked border households many times, and the guards were afraid of trouble, so they often used cattle wine to comfort them. However, Cui Yi recruited them to be brave and brave, and suddenly arrested them. After that, there were no more internal enemy incidents. There were several other cases, all of which were quickly suppressed the border and the bandits with a thunder attack, so the people of the prefectures and counties were safe.

It seems that I have been wrong. If I leave by myself, I must transfer Yu Jing away.

Some people worshipped the Japanese and the United States in later generations, but Yu Jing repeatedly worshiped small Jiaozhi. With this, even if the ability to govern the government, he could not stay in Guangdong and Guangxi. Unless the overall situation of Guangdong and Guangxi has been decided.

"Come on, discuss matters," Zheng Lang brought the officials to his tent.

Let everyone sit down and say to the two guards: "You hold my seal and go to Lianzhou and Anyuan City, and convey my orders to Zhou Gong and Zhu Shoulong, so that they must hold on to the two cities within 20 days without losing."

"Here."

After the guard left, Zheng Lang swept over the faces of several people and said to Yu Jing: "Yu Jing, stay in Guizhou and continue to preside over the matter of Guangnan West Road. Spring farming production is here. There must be no delays, and there is also this lovesickness pavilion. At the same time, follow my command and transport grain and grass and logistics."

Yu Jing nodded.

He didn't understand the war at all. He wouldn't care much if he went to the front line.

Zheng Lang looked at the others again and said, "Cheng Shimeng, you go to Yulinzhou, Yandu, you go to Guizhou, Cai Ting, you go to Pennzhou, Song Xian. You go to Hengzhou, I will also go to Yongzhou. After you arrive at your respective states, please pay attention to the movements in front. If the enemy troops in Jiaozhi spread to the rear, you must withdraw all the people to the major villages and forts and cities as soon as possible, and then defend the city. The city is in the city and people are in the city. Yu Jing, after you go to Guizhou, let Gao Weihe cooperate with your work to prevent some barbarians from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. If there is any change, inform me as soon as possible."

Several people nodded at the same time.

What should I do? Zheng Lang himself went to the front line, and they only stayed in the second line. If they refused, they would not be able to escape the charge of fearing the enemy.

Zheng Lang opened the box again, and there were official letters similar to flyers. He took them out and said to Yu Jing: "Send officials to read them to the major villages, and then meet in Hengzhou and hand them over to Zhang Ji to arrange them."

Yu Jing quickly glanced and said, "It's not very appropriate, it will cause heavy sacrifices to the people. It's better to let the court send reinforcements urgently."

"No, although the imperial guards sent by the court are strong in combat, the spring in the south is deep and the weather is getting hotter. Even with the medicine, it cannot guarantee that malaria can be cured by 100%. In addition, the wet, stuffy and hot climate will inevitably increase many unnecessary casualties. The mortality rate is no less than the army organized by the people. Moreover, the distance cannot dissolve the near fire. If the imperial guards are sent, even if cavalry are transferred from the northwest, it will take at least two months later. If the enemy troops cannot be retreated at that time, the Guangnan West Road will be decayed. In the future, many troops cannot be stationed in the south. If the imperial guards are used, it will not be adapted to the south. The local army will increase, and there will be signs of Anshi chaos. Increasing the garrison will also increase the burden on the people. The people of Jiaozhi must realize that even if the imperial guards do not use hundreds of thousands of central imperial guards, they can defeat them. Then they will be well-behaved in the future."

"but……"

"Brother An Dao, you don't know about military affairs, do as I say." Zheng Lang was a little unhappy. At what time, he was still slowing down. No wonder he did so many stupid things when he pacified Nong Zhigao.

...

Several officials went to the south, and the officials and yamen runners began to read a strange document in major villages.

All are written in oral language, and those who cannot use it are, most people cannot understand the thing.

Dear fellow villagers, I am Zheng Lang, here to read a mobilization order to you.

Guangnan West Road has beautiful mountains and rivers, fertile land, and abundant resources. People all say it is a place of miasma, but malaria has medicine to cure, and mosquitoes have fragrance to drive away, which is not enough to harm. Today, under your hard work, the swamps have become fertile fields, barren mountains have become tea gardens, hills have begun to plant fruit trees, and rivers have become irrigation places.

A great tomorrow is coming soon.

In a few months, a bumper harvest is in sight. In the next few years, there will be food to eat, silk to wear, fruit trees, tea trees, sugar cane, livestock, poultry, and fish to raise and catch. But some people don’t want you to live this wonderful life, and some want to destroy it.

It's Jiaozhi.

The imperial court did not want to cause trouble on the border and caused harm to the border people. However, Jiaozhi invaded several times and came to our territory to burn, kill and loot. He successively eroded the territory of Qiyuan, Guangyuan, Men, and Silang, and conquered Xipingzhou to eliminate drought, Dafa, and Wenxiang (Xipingzhou is located in the west of Pingxiang, and is located in the later countries of China and Vietnam, and there is also Luzhou on the south side. Strictly speaking, Jiaozhi has already planned to not be weird and the rules between countries).

When Nong Zhigao was in chaos, Wu Er led 20,000 troops to attack the right bank of Pengjiang, hoping to seek the loss of the court army and Nong Zhigao when they were both defeated and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. Then the court quickly defeated Nong Zhigao, and Jiaozhi sent envoys to Xunzhou to provoke me.

Now that I see Guangdong and Guangxi, I am about to flourish, I actually dispatched tens of thousands of troops to head north, intending to destroy your bright future, plunder your wives and children, kill your family, and seize your wealth!

I will issue a mobilization order to you. Anyone with two sons in the family who are over 20 years old, please join the army and fight back against the enemy by themselves. In order to make up for your losses, once hired, the court will issue you weapons and armor, each of which will reward you with two pieces of cloth, five coins, and five stones of food. If you kill one of the enemies, you will be rewarded with five times. If you kill two enemies, you will be rewarded with ten times. (That means that you must choose apart. Some of the migrated Chinese households, some of whom can grow up in the mountains, know some hunting skills, and most of them can be used, but those who grow up in plains and have long been safe in the south of the Yangtze River may not be able to know the skills of bowing and horses. As Yu Jing said, it is not to kill the enemy in battle, but to send the dead).

From then on, I went to Yongzhou. Zhou Han and Zhu Shoulong were already in Qinlian Prefectures. Cheng Shimeng went to Yulin Prefecture, Yandu went to Guizhou, Cai Ting went to Pennzhou, Song Xian went to Hengzhou. The city was in the city, the people were destroyed, and people were destroyed. We fought with you on the front line. We were only allowed to advance, not take a step back.

Dear fellow villagers, take up the big sword in your hands, raise the bows and arrows in your hands, and go to fight back these hateful invaders, and jointly defend your homeland and the safety of your relatives. Let the little Jiaozhi see the bravery of our Song people and the strength of the court.

The rear army of the imperial court will come soon and fight with you (it's true, Zhang Ke will quickly arrive with more than 10,000 troops).

Let our hands not only create a beautiful home, but also crush all invaders.

Let us fight together for the Song Dynasty, for the kind Majesty, for the homeland, for the dignity of a great country since ancient times, for the relatives, and for the happy future!

Whether the Song Dynasty fought for Zhao Zhen and dignity may not be known, but home and relatives are very important to ordinary people. Rich rewards are more important, but they cannot be said to make up for losses and stimulate their morale.

Yu Jing said that the people had no combat effectiveness because they saw the performance of the miscellaneous army against the Nong Zhigao army.

But we must also see who led it. If Yu Jing and Chen Shu led it, it will be completely different from Di Qing, Zhang Kang and Zhang Jixuan. For example, Gao Jixuan used the border households as soldiers and defeated the Xixia army, which is also the people. Of course, the people on the West Road of Guangnan are far less fierce than those on the prefectures and prefectures. However, there are many people from the mountainous areas and local barbarians, and the strong atmosphere should not be underestimated. It is not forcing the recruitment of troops, but for them to participate spontaneously. Those who dare to come will not be too weak. Moreover, if the barbarians stay together, if the organization is properly organized, they will go to the battlefield together, which will help them integrate their relationships and form a family.

At first, not many people participated, but Zhang Ke led the Song army to the south in batches. Finally, many passionate young people walked out of their homes and signed up in their respective county government offices.

Even if you sign up, you may not agree to let them join the army. Those who do not have certain martial arts, do not know how to bow and arrow, and those who are thin will not accept them. Those who are only one son in the family will not accept them. Those who are less than twenty years old or over forty will also not accept them.

But for another type of person, all prisoners imprisoned in various states and counties, as well as prisoners in prison cities, are not death row prisoners, who join the temporary army and show bravery, pardon their crimes after the war, and kill the enemy with the same reward as ordinary people.

The approach is very kind and meticulous, even though the enemy of Jiaozhi has arrived.

There is also the efforts that Zheng Lang has made over the past two years. The people will not think long-term, but Zheng Lang still sees all kinds of things. For more than half a year, he has been on the road, asking about his well-being, and never putting on the airs of the prime minister and important officials of the current dynasty. In order to govern Guangdong and Guangxi, the prime minister suffered a lot.

There is the confidence brought by several great victories.

A group of young children finally flocked to their respective county governments on a large scale. After selection, they would form a stream of people, either down from land or on boats, and then flock to Hengzhou again. Then they were divided into several batches and advanced towards Lianzhou, Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

These people will eventually form a human-like Great Wall, stopping the Jiaozhi army from moving forward without moving forward.....)
