Chapter 27
Yang Ling turned around and saw Huang County Magistrate, Jiang Bin and a group of county officials rushed forward and knelt down and said, "The lower official Jiming County Magistrate Huang Qiyin, please contact the general Jiang Bin to all the lords."
General Yongning waved his hand and said, "Get up, where is Magistrate Min?"
As soon as he moved, the armor leaves on his body were rumbling. The Yongning Ginseng General He was about fifty years old, with a low figure, thin cheeks, and a pair of eyes on Li Hei's face were extremely sharp. With that bright armor, he had a spirit of being in the upper position without anger.
Behind him was a group of school captains with distinctive armor, two people stood on the left and right. The man on the left was in his early forties, with a white face and a small beard. He was a civil servant with a tall figure, exuding a bookish spirit all over his body, looking up and down at the Huang County Magistrate who was replying with his head down.
Yang Ling glanced at his replenishment and learned from the knowledge he got from the bad replenishment that this man was a civil servant from the fifth rank. As expected, the Ming Dynasty had the tradition of civil servants controlling military power, and actually sent a civil servant from the fifth rank to supervise a third rank general.
For Yang Ling, the eunuch was the most rare creature, so he looked at it carefully a few times. Unlike the fake eunuchs with slanderous smiles in the movie, who looked sarcastic and demonic. In front of him, Eunuch Liu was in his fifties, with a sharp but gentle chin and a pair of shrewd but gentle eyes. Apart from his loose skin, his flesh was whiter and tender, he could not see anything special.
Huang County Magistrate, Jiang Bin and others stood up one after another, Huang Qiyin bowed and said, "Sir, County Magistrate Min was hit by the poisonous arrow of the Tartars and was unconscious. He was in danger just now. He had already carried Lord Min down the city. Now the Xiaguan and Jiang Binjiang were responsible for the city defense."
The sound of war drums and the noisy fighting sounds were shocking the sky, but the Ming army caught the Tartars off guard. The subsequent army rushed out of the city continuously. Bodarmo also thought that he had fallen into the Ming army's plan and immediately ordered Lindada to cut off the rear and the army began to retreat.
When the Eunuch Liu saw the Tatar army retreat, he laughed and said, "The general is brave. As soon as the army arrives, he recovered Jimingyi and won the first battle. This is a New Year gift to the emperor." He heard his voice not very sharp, but his tone was indeed a bit sissy.
General He Shen smiled reservedly and waved his hand, "Eunuch Liu praised me. The person who came, he sent an order and ordered He Shijie, Wang Chengxian, and Zheng Yie to station in the east, south and west three cities, Bi Chun and Sun Dazhong to chase and kill the enemy chief."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuen hurriedly said, "General, please wait. Our army is here. If we don't understand the enemy's situation, how can we underestimate the enemy's advance? The military book says: Only by knowing our enemy can we win every battle. The Tatars make a living by horses, and their mobility is far beyond our army's ability. For today's plan, it is better to defend the city first and send out horses to explore. After understanding the enemy's situation, then make plans."
After hearing this, Jiang Bin said anxiously: "Sir, the enemy's team is already in chaos. Taking advantage of the situation to cover up the killing will surely achieve miraculous results. The so-called "soldiers are more powerful". If they wait for them to stabilize their positions and arrange them calmly, it will take a lot of trouble."
Seeing that he was just a subordinate official, Ye Yusuke couldn't help but sneer: "Just, soldiers are the weapons of the world, be careful when using them! In all the methods of using troops, they can rush thousands of chariots, thousands of chariots, hundreds of thousands of armor, and thousands of miles of grain, and spend a thousand gold a day. Our army has arrived, and its foothold has not yet stabilized, and the supply of food and grass is all far behind. There is no reinforcements to rely on, and there is no enemy situation in front of them. Is this arbitrary advancement for merit?"
Although Jiang Bin also had a little understanding of military books, his knowledge was limited. He was dizzy by his scattered words and could not speak out. Although Yang Ling did not understand military affairs, he could also see that he had caught the Tartars off guard and took advantage of the situation to chase them. It would be difficult for the Tartars to organize an effective counterattack.
Moreover, the command system of the army in that era was not developed, and the soldiers were poorly organized and their loyalty was even worse. Those ordinary soldiers almost rely on their spirit to fight, so sometimes tens of thousands of troops defeated hundreds of thousands of troops, which was by no means a rumor of the Romance, but it was true.
An army may be defeated as soon as the commander flag falls, and it is very difficult to organize it again. The Tartars are obviously in a stage of defeat, but this nerd is so cautious that he does not seek merit, but seeks no mistakes. He can only apply some military books and battle strategies, which is simply outrageous.
But although Ye Yuen was a civil servant of the fifth rank, General He Gan did not dare not ignore his opinions. Supervising the army and supervising the army was not just the responsibility of the army, but actually had the final decision-making power of the army command. He pondered for a moment and asked Jiang Bin: "How many enemy troops are there in the siege?"
Jiang Bin hurriedly said, "Sir, only a hundred Tartars came to disturb the city last night, but in the early morning this day, nearly 3,000 people forced the city to attack, and nearly 1,000 enemy troops pulled two cannons. If the general had not come in time, the city would have been lost."
After hearing this, Ye Yuichi said, "How? The enemy's troops continue to increase their troops, and then they are constantly supporting them. Can you not be cautious about doing it?"
General He Shen hesitated for a moment and looked back: "What do you think of Eunuch Liu?"
Both of these military supervisors were arrested temporarily. Ye Yu'er came to Xuanfu to assess the political achievements of local officials because the three-year examination period had arrived. Eunuch Liu was the eunuch in the bell and drums department of the 24th yamen of the inner palace. He was ordered to go out of Beijing to buy it. As a result, he was intercepted by eight hundred miles on the way back to Beijing and served as the military supervisor with Ye Yu'er.
Although he has a low status, he is the most common person to see the emperor. General He Shen dared not ignore his opinions. This Eunuch Liu was a low-key official in the internal supervision department. Although he was a military supervisor, he did not dare to be arrogant. He was very cautious along the way, fearing that he would show his timidity.
After hearing Ye Yu's words, he had already thought in his heart: "As soon as our army arrived, we took back Jimingyi, which is a great achievement. If the army advances rapidly and makes another contribution, it will certainly be the icing on the cake, but if it is true as Ye Yu's words, if the Tartars have another ambush that our army is frustrated, I will not be scolded by the emperor if I have not fulfilled my responsibility for supervising the army? It is better to be careful."
Thinking of this, Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "General He is brave and Ye Yu is very conspiring. Our family is short-sighted and can't say anything. However, the army is exhausted from the enemy's army when it travels a long distance. If you rashly pursue the enemy, if you make a mistake, it will be unbeautiful.
Now Zheng Governor General Song Governor General Zheng led his army from Zhuolu and Chicheng to attack the Tatar army. There was also a guerrilla general Qi Guangsheng rushed to support two and a half miles and a half posts. Several large armies went together, and the Tatar army would definitely be defeated. Our family thought it would be better to be cautious."
Since the two military supervisors had similar opinions, General He Gan said: "Okay, the central army obeyed the order and ordered Bi Chun. Sun Dazhong immediately withdrew his troops and stationed in front of the city gate with strict security. The craftsmen and local craftsmen in the army immediately repaired the city gate and sent horses to inquire about the enemy's strength and the current situation of the two and a half miles and Wulipu."
Yang Ling shook his head secretly when he heard this: "I am not afraid of enemies like tigers, but fear of generals like pigs. It is obviously a great opportunity to be one-sided. A scholar or a "our family" talks nonsense, but it is really a pity that I let it go in vain."
General He Gan said: "Mr. Huang County, Jiang Baron accompanied me to inspect the four cities, yes, where is the local postmaster?"
County Magistrate Huang hurriedly said, "Sir, Ma Yicheng has been killed in battle!"
General He Gan said again: "Where is the county chief clerk?"
County Magistrate Huang said, "Sir, the chief clerk of the king and Lord Min have already gotten off the city. I believe the army has come all the way to fill the road and it is too late to arrive. This is Mr. Yang, who is responsible for the civil affairs of the rule. General, please give me instructions."
General He Shen looked at Yang Ling and saw that he was so young, he was slightly stunned. County Magistrate Huang saw it and bowed with a smile: "Sir, Master Yang is young and promising. He assists Lord Min in governing the Jiming Post. The upper and lower parts are orderly and well organized. You can rest assured."
"Oh?" General He Shen looked at Yang Ling's eyes, his grim expression calmed down, and he pointed to him: "You, transfer all the affairs of the county government to Huang County Magistrate, and from now on the post of Jiming County Postmaster, responsible for the communication of military letters and the transportation of food and grass. Also, I will live with the two military supervisors in the postmaster's office tonight, so you can arrange it."
Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes! Obey the order!"
General He Gan said to Ye Yu Envoy, Eunuch Liu and Yan: "Please, two military supervisors, please go and see the city defense situation."
County Magistrate Huang hurriedly asked Wang Bantou to accompany Yang Ling to take over the Office Chief Office, and then with Jiang Bin, he left with the three adults. Yang Ling straightened up and was a little confused for a moment. Seeing him standing there feeling lost, Han Youniang couldn't help but ask curiously: "My grandpa, have this official promoted or demoted as a post secretary?"
Yang Ling shook his head and said, "I'm dizzy!"
"Ah?" Han Youniang said nervously: "My husband was injured just now, but was still shaken by that Jiang Bar? Really, my husband is not in good health, and he still exerts so hard." Han Youniang said, glaring at Jiang Bin's back fiercely.
Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "No, I have never been a postmaster, I don't know what to do. Mr. Huang accompanied the adults to patrol the city, but there was no one to give me some advice."
Han Youniang said, "Then go and ask the chief clerk. It's not yet afternoon, so I have to arrange a residence for you and I have a lot of time."
