The people Lao Xu called came to the back hall one after another. Zhang Ning was carrying a wool brush to paint the wall, and then pasted a piece of white rice paper on the wall.
When Wei Bin, the officials of hundreds of households, and others came in, he asked whether the soldiers were robbing without authorization.
At this time, the sun had already set and the night outside gradually opened.
Wei Bin of the hundred households followed his orders to restrain the soldiers. He and the chief banner officials were reluctant to comply with this, but because of the repeated emphasis on military law, Zhang Ning's identity as a prince and the relationship between monk Yao.
But they didn't understand it in their hearts. Wei Bin has always been practicing martial arts. Judging from the military common sense, Shimen County will give up sooner or later after the battle is over. His role is nothing more than: rescue Hou Tanzhu and rob the local area to make money.
And it is really understandable whether Zhang Ning wants to rob.
However, soon the conversation between Zhang Ning and Hou Tanzhu made Wei Bin feel like he felt something.
Zhang Ning asked Hou Tanzhu to return to Dashengzhai, gather the old subordinates and believers of the branch to move to Shimen County, and select young and strong men to form a team of new recruits.
He temporarily revised the army's organization and combined the existing Fengxiashan Brigade and the brigade to be formed into one sentry, named Yongdingying Left Strike, Fengxiashan Hundred Houses Brigade was renamed the Left Strike First Brigade, and the upcoming brigade was the Second Brigade of Left Strike.
According to the regular organization of the Ming army, the first battalion had at least a few thousand soldiers.Now he has only more than one hundred people in his hands, so he has arranged the first battalion.
Wei Bin didn't think this matter was absurd. He had already understood the ambition of the young prince in the room.
May you all encourage each other.Zhang Ning looked back and his eyes stayed on Wei Bin's face for a moment.
Everyone was excited for a while after capturing the county town, but behind the cheers, no one actually knew what to do in the future.
The Lord of Hou was rescued, but the powerful government would definitely counterattack. More branches will be surrounded and suppressed in the future. Everyone doesn’t know where to go.
Wei Bin and others have limited language skills and cannot express their inner fear and confusion about the unknown, but they can feel it at this moment: everyone needs someone like that, leading them to see hope, just like a guide giving people a direction.
At this moment, Wei Bin seemed to have understood why Zhang Ning ordered the restraining of the soldiers in an instant.
Candles were lit on the lamp holder in the piano hall, but the light at night was still dim, and people seemed to be shrouded in darkness, like the breath of death.
In fact, death is not terrible. If you die with hope or die accidentally, it is just an extremely normal thing; what is terrible is despair.
Zhang Ning turned his head and looked at the candlelight on the lamp stand. Its faint light was like a sign of the rising sun that was about to appear in a few hours.
Your Highness, my subordinates are about to present something.
Wei Bin suddenly remembered that he took out a bamboo tube from his arms. This was a newspaper from Yuezhou Prefecture. The messenger who delivered the newspaper might not know about Shimen County in advance. He came from Lizhou and was caught on the way.This thing was found from him.
Zhang Ning took it and took out a piece of paper from it, browsed it, and handed it to Hou Mao next to him, saying: A great rebellion broke out in Songban, Sichuan, and tens of thousands of people captured Songban Abram. The court asked Sichuan to mobilize troops to suppress it.This is good news. Although Songban is far away, it belongs to the southwest region and can play a role in some way.I asked everyone to come here today, and I also wanted to discuss future plans with you. I would like to say anything if I have any ideas.
Everyone looked at each other with a confused look on their faces. Seeing that everyone was silent and embarrassed, Hou Tanzhu said, "When I go to Dasheng Village to recruit people, let's go to the main hall together."
Someone started, and Yao Erlang also echoed: Although we have captured Shimen County, this place is an enclave. When the officers and soldiers reacted, they could not defend the siege of the troops everywhere, so they could only retreat first.We are strong and strong, and the government along the way dares not easily stop us before the officers and soldiers mobilize their troops.
What after going back?Zhang Ning asked.
The people present fell silent again.
Zhang Ning picked up the brush on the table, and the brush strokes were dry. He put them on his tongue and licked them twice. He walked to the white paper that had been pasted, drew a long line first, and then drew several circles on the thick line.
I went back and explained: The direction is north, south, south, west, right and east, this Lishui River is here, Shimen County, and along the river is Lizhou and Cili County in the west.None of these are the key points... Below is Changde Prefecture, with a guard stationed; above it is Jiuxi Guard and two thousand households; Cili County is Yongding Guard west of Lishui River.You are right. This place is not only an enclave, but also has heavy troops on all sides.
Everyone immediately started to talk, but Zhang Ning said calmly: But there is no need to panic. When I was an inspector of Huguang, I saw these soldiers in the garrison. Most of them were unbearable, but they were better because there were too many people.Moreover, these garrisons cannot spontaneously coordinate and siege us from all sides. They must coordinate various departments and at least pass through the Ministry of War. Most of them should first appoint the chief generals through the Ministry of War, so that the situation of sending troops from all sides may occur.So we don’t have to worry about the danger of being trapped in the siege for the time being.
He looked back and forth, walked a few steps and said calmly: I won’t say much about the long-term thing. I have a goal now... He drew a big circle in Yongdingwei's position and turned around and said, this will be our goal, and we can win it no matter what!
Everyone looked up at his face, and Wei Bin couldn't help but say: Yongding Guard should be acropolis, and there must be five or six thousand soldiers stationed?Even if there are not so many, two or three thousand people may be able to get enough, and there may be reinforcements from all over the country near the left. This...
A place of life and death, if you can’t take it, everyone will die!
Zhang Ning's tone suddenly became cold, his eyes were deeper, and his eyes looked extremely firm for a moment.
It is easy to capture Shimen County. We also have ways to extract resources from the county, including money, grain, labor, and raw materials, but we cannot expand our troops.Because from officials, gentry, and refugees to the people, they are not the same as us. They may endure tax exploitation to save their lives, but they are definitely unwilling to fight for us... Whether the cults will be massacred or encircled or suppressed has nothing to do with the people; even if I say they are the legitimate sons of Emperor Jianwen, they are too lazy to question because they have nothing to do with them.
No one objected to the few people present. Although the officials and the people were all submissive, they thought about it carefully, as Zhang Ning said, there was no need for people to participate in the rebellion.
In fact, as long as the Han people have a taste of food and a way out, most of them are unwilling to participate in the plot to rebel.
Now we only have more than one hundred soldiers. No matter how elite and excellent the weapons are, we cannot grow and grow without reliable soldiers.
Zhang Ning took a deep breath and said, "For the current plan, there is only one way to expand the troops from the forces of Jianwen Yuchen and the cult vanishing cults."We are the ones who are all the way. No matter whether we want to resist or not, the court will not give us a way to survive. We will definitely find ways to kill all the people to eliminate future troubles.What happens if people have no way out?Take up your weapons, resist, fight to the death!
Everyone stood solemnly.
Zhang Ning turned around and pointed to the white paper with lines and circles and said: As far as I know, the places with the most distributed places in the various altars of the vanquishing cults are in Yongshunsi, Changde Prefecture, Chenzhou Prefecture and other places, with the most junctions and mountainous areas.Probably in this location... in the western part of Huguang, this place seems to be a dead place.To the west is the eastern part of Sichuan, there are a large number of chieftains, Xuanweishi, high mountains, dense forests, dangerous terrain, and dense barbarians. They need no food, no people, and no resources, but there are a large number of young people armed forces controlled by the court. The places where the church members and the remaining party are active lack resources and cannot bear the logistics of a large number of troops, so we cannot raise an army locally.
In short, what we are facing now is that there are no money in places where there are people, and there are no people in places where there are money.The only way is to connect the two situations and open up the path of expansion from the west to Huguang center. The output of Huguang fish and rice towns can completely raise a larger team of people, which will be our capital for the uprising.
Yongdingwei is a nail that must be pulled out!You now understand why we are trying to capture this place?The city must be taken down at any cost or by any means.
Zhang Ning took a breath and finally said lightly, everyone present is our core personnel. This is a strategic secret and you must not disclose it.The next action will be arranged tonight. After returning to Dasheng Village, Hou Tanzhu gathered the church members to Shimen County as soon as possible. Our association ordered the county government officials to be responsible for creating a batch of cold weapons. After the Hou Tanzhu's men arrived, they would send weapons to train and assist in the city defense. At that time, Wei Baihu led the first brigade of Zuo Shu to go south along the Lishui River, conquered Cili County, and occupied the strongholds in the north of Yongding Guard, and at the same time they could get more money and food.Do you have any objections?
Hou Mao patted his chest and said: My life was saved by Your Highness. You can do whatever you say.
Wei Bin clasped his fists and said: I have the order.
Zhang Ning exhaled, Wei Baihu had arranged for the soldiers to rest and change defenses, and he would have to rest earlier tonight.He waved his hand gently and turned around to look at the white paper on the wall.
……
There is a relative of Zhang Ning in Lizhou City downstream of the Lishui River who still cannot sleep well. His name is Zhu Yueyao; Prince Huayang, the second son of King Xian of Shu. How could the son of the King of Shu be in the border areas of Huguang?
During the Yongle period, the eldest son of the King of Shu died, and his grandson was young, so Zhu Yueyao planned to seize the throne.
Unfortunately, the King of Shu was discovered, so the King of Shu picked up another reason and beat his second son Zhu Yueyao, hoping to send him to the capital to punish him, but the grandson pleaded for mercy and spared him.
Later, when the King of Shu died, Zhu Yueyao wanted to become the King of Shu, he began to continue his plan to seize the throne, falsely accusing his grandson of incest and insulting the emperor.
Emperor Yongle summoned him to the capital to ask in detail. Unfortunately, Emperor Yongle himself died before he could find out the result.
Renzong ascended the throne and continued to take care of this. He quickly understood Zhu Yueyao's trick, so he scolded him and sent him to Wugang, and later he was allowed to come to Lizhou.
Zhu Yueyao felt that he was in a bad mood. He didn't think that the King of Shu was brought to this place. Before he could live for a long time, he actually learned that Shimen County was broken and was right next to his home. He called him at any time, so he naturally couldn't sleep or eat.
When Wei Bin, the officials of hundreds of households, and others came in, he asked whether the soldiers were robbing without authorization.
At this time, the sun had already set and the night outside gradually opened.
