Chapter 1259 The unappreciated coach
But Zhao Jiajun is not doing this to win over people's hearts. There is no point in winning over people's hearts in Beizhili at present. They are collecting corpses and cleaning the battlefield for the return journey. The weather is getting hotter. If the corpses rot, pollute water sources, and spread diseases, it will be a big deal for Zhao Jiajun himself. trouble.
"If Tianjin Port and Dengzhou Port are in our hands, and if we have enough ships, there is no need to march slowly along the river this time. We can use fewer troops to land directly at Tianjin Port." Zhao Jin said. He was not satisfied with this victory. When he thought about it, this time it was too costly and time-consuming, but everyone in the Zhao family army was rejoicing.
****************
"Are you going back to Xuzhou to report your victory?"
"Why are you asking so many questions if you are going to Tianjin?"
"Your leader has thought carefully. After today's great victory, the whole world is scared. Tianjin really does not dare to do this."
The Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Censor of the Capital, the general manager of the Xuanfu Jizhen Jingying, Wang Zaijin, said Muran, the Zhao Jiajun soldiers who were escorting him were full of pride. If you look closely at the face of the inspector Wang Zaijin, you can't say that he is depressed, he even looked very depressed. Calm, especially compared to the dejected staff and guards not far away.
Supervisor Wang Zaijin is sitting at the county government office. His staff are planning and the personal guards are constantly delivering news. Everyone is not too nervous. In their opinion, this battle will take a long time regardless of victory or defeat. Wang Zaijin has a high opinion of Zhao Jiajun. , and even compared the other party with the Jianzhou Nu Zhen. Since such a comparison is made, it is impossible to win quickly.
After much experience, Wang Zaijin no longer had much hope for the so-called victory or victory. He had experienced border affairs for a long time, and had participated in the planning of southeast coastal defense, northwest border defense, and northeastern border defense. He was not a civil servant who knew nothing about military affairs. Wang Zaijin Knowing the quality of the soldiers and horses under his command, he expected the battle situation to be a stalemate between the official army and Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and then the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the world would gather together. Xuzhou soldiers and horses' food supply would be unstable, and they would have to retreat in the end.
This outcome can be regarded as a victory, but both the eunuchs and Donglin in the court will definitely be dissatisfied with this result. They will be implicated when the time comes, and they may have to do a few idle posts in Nanjing before becoming an official.
Wang Zaijin thought a lot, but he didn't expect that the battle would end so quickly. There were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, half of them were border troops, and there were thousands of cavalry. An army array of this size could not be displayed on one side of the city wall, and there was also an additional Eastern Army. With the Western Army, under this three-sided outflank attack, no matter how powerful Xuzhou's battalion of less than 20,000 men was, they just didn't expect to be defeated so quickly.
It took less than three hours from the moment the army formed its formation to the moment it failed. When he received the news of the defeat of the army, Wang Zaijin thought it was impossible. He never thought that the next moment he would receive the news that the south gate of Jinghai County had collapsed. It was beyond Wang Zaijin's common sense, but by this time, Wang Zaijin had not panicked yet. He was still issuing orders to gather all the troops into the city, but none of the personal guards who sent the order came back.
Then there was a collapse. The leader of the personal guard who reacted was loyal enough to do his duty and immediately ordered the manpower guard Wang Zaijin and his staff to go out of the city. But at this time, the defeated troops poured into the city, and they and the city's rogues were burning, killing and looting everywhere. The government was affected, and it was impossible to move forward at all.
They finally managed to find a way out of the city, but they couldn't get out of the city. Waves of defeated soldiers rushed in like headless chickens outside the city. In the end, a certain person in the city took them in. This person had served in the army and was able to compete with Wang Zaijin. Get involved in relationships.
Then there was the purge and suppression of Zhao's army in the city. Listening to the roar of guns and the screams of killings, everyone thought it was the rebels who were looting and massacring the whole city. Wang Zaijin had already copied the sword in his hand, and let the whole family of men
They all had their weapons ready, while the women were ready to commit suicide. As long as the thieves and soldiers came in, they would all be destroyed. However, it was not the "thieves" who came in over the wall, but the officers and soldiers and local rogues. Fortunately, Wang was in Jin to protect the soldiers.
With our strength, we killed them all.
Then the situation eased and the county became more and more quiet. The servants sent out to inquire about the news quickly brought back the situation outside. When they heard that the Xuzhou rebel Qiu had committed no crime, he was just helping to maintain law and order in Jinghai County.
When the incident happened, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not. However, when the soldiers of Zhao Jiajun passed by, everyone became nervous again.
But seeing these families who were not in trouble, the soldiers of the Zhao Army ignored them at all. In the end, even Wang Zaijin lay on the crack of the door and observed. The officers and soldiers were like thieves, and the thieves and soldiers were like officers. This was Wang Zaijin's feeling.
I felt awkward again for no reason.
Such a quiet situation did not last long. Soon the Zhao Jiajun began to search the city. I don’t know who leaked the news. The soldiers of the Zhao Jiajun knew that there was a group of officers and soldiers hiding in the Juren’s house. They immediately rushed over and ordered them to surrender. By this time, the Juren’s house was full of people.
They no longer wanted to resist, but Wang Zaijin's guards were usually loyal and wanted to fight with the soldiers of the Zhao Army.
However, the governor Wang Zaijin, who had previously been prepared to die for his country, was very calm at this time, but said that there was no need to resist and cause unnecessary casualties. It was impossible to win anyway, so it was better to surrender directly.
The words "surrender" should never have been spoken by Wang Zaijin. What a high-ranking official of this party should do was to commit suicide or die rather than surrender. The staff had prepared many words of persuasion, but they did not expect Wang Zaijin to be so open-minded.
, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly showed a look of contempt, the proprietor was so ungrateful.
After being captured, Wang Zaijin and his party were brought out. The streets were busy. The prisoners and local civilians were cleaning up the corpses and blood stains. The soldiers of the Zhao Army were monitoring and patrolling. The joy and excitement of victory had not completely subsided.
The soldiers escorting Wang Zaijin and his party subconsciously wanted to show off. They wanted to see the surprise of these court officials at the Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and they wanted to see their heartfelt shock. Wang Zaijin's staff and guards were really dumbfounded. They did not expect this at all.
The Xuzhou bandit army was so elite, and some people who had been to Liaodong with Wang Zaijin couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid it's not bad compared to the Jurchens in Jianzhou." However, Wang Zaijin didn't react at all. When he was being escorted, he only said one sentence, "It's not dark yet.
This is a failure.”
I thought that as the commander of the army, I would be taken to the military tent of Xuzhou soldiers and horses. As I walked, I realized that something was wrong. Some of the staff thought that the Zhao army was going to take them somewhere to kill them. When they were frightened and begged for mercy, Xuzhou
The soldiers and horses were equally surprised and asked: Even if I take you out of the city and imprison you, what do you have to be afraid of?"
After these questions and answers, Wang Zaijin and his staff just breathed a sigh of relief, but then they reacted and asked in shock: "Aren't you taking us to see your leader?"
"Of course not. The prisoners are being held as usual. Just rest assured. As long as you abide by the rules, our Zhao army will not torture or kill you at will, and we will let you go back when the time comes." The soldier escorting them also said a few words of relief.
The staff who had always been relatively docile were furious at this time and shouted directly: "The Superintendent is here, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
The soldiers of Zhao Jiajun were angry for no reason, and the staff asked: "Don't you know that this old man is the superintendent in charge of the army?" If you don't know, it is understandable to treat the subordinates so lightly.
After all, the soldiers of the Zhao family army who did not understand this and had never wanted to escort them nodded blankly and said they knew.
At this time, Wang Zaijin smiled helplessly, looked at the expressions of his staff, and then said with some embarrassment: "Please help me to send a message to the commander of your army, saying that I want to ask for a meeting."
The enemy commander wanted to see Zhao Jin. The soldiers of the Zhao family army did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to report for instructions. They were waiting here, watching the soldiers of the Zhao family army coming and going. It has to be said that even though they were just watching on the roadside
, but you can still feel that it is completely different from the officers and soldiers.
"The rebels in the countryside are indeed vulgar and ignorant, and they don't know the high and low. However, the supervisor is here, and he is so negligent." The staff were quite indignant.
Hearing these words, Wang Zaijin just shook his head. If Xuzhou wanted to persuade these staff to surrender, there must be many who would resolutely refuse. The reason why he wanted to meet him was because he felt that he was being despised and looked down upon, and then he wanted to see something new.
The Superintendent Wang Zai Jin had similar thoughts, but if he disappeared, he would disappear. After making these remarks, he realized something. The anger of the staff soon stopped. They all looked at the soldiers of Zhao Jiajun with curiosity and awe.
Looking at the armor, the muskets, and the artillery that was dragged over, everything was better than the official army.
"Isn't Xuzhou a remote place? How can we buy such armor?"
"Looking at the appearance of these soldiers, I am afraid that only the generals' personal servants are so elite. How did Xuzhou create such a strong army that has been fighting for a long time?"
"It is said that Wei Gong harmed the country and colluded with soldiers and bandits. Now it seems that Wei Gong is a loyal person. If such a big thief is not suppressed, it will be a big disaster now!"
"Then Wei Wei is really in a difficult position. How can we defeat such a big thief with the help of the army? This will be a big disaster for the Ming Dynasty!"
Because the soldiers of Zhao Jiajun were very kind and well behaved, the nervousness of the staff gradually calmed down. While they were curious about who the enemy commander would be, they began to analyze the before and after. At this time, many things could be seen clearly.
, for example, Wei Zhongxian's several campaigns to suppress Xuzhou, and his seemingly crazy moves to mobilize troops, now seem to be inevitable.
Wang Zaijin listened silently for a while, then shook his head and asked: "You are not afraid. If it weren't for the Xuzhou soldiers guarding the area, I would have thought he was still in the government office."
The staff were stunned at first, and some people laughed dumbly and said self-deprecatingly: "Xuzhou's thieves and soldiers are very well-behaved. This kind of discipline is only mentioned in the military book when Yue Peng raised his troops, but it is true. The students are really not that afraid.
, just a bit depressed and discouraged."
