Chapter 304 Emergency Response
After a moment of silence in the outpost, a loud fire suddenly lit up on the outpost.
"The village chief of Yichou resettlement village in Beitang Town?"
A loud voice came from the outpost: "Li Jiucai?"
The young village chief was stunned and said happily: "It's Boss Wang!"
A laughter suddenly came from the outpost: "Open the door and invite my brother in!"
It's an old acquaintance.
As soon as the door opened, a burly and solid uncle walked out quickly from inside. When he saw Li Jiucai, he laughed and said, "It's really your boy!"
Li Jiucai quickly beat his chest and clasped his fists: "Boss Wang!"
Before retiring from the army, Li Jiucai was a soldier under Boss Wang. At that time, Boss Wang was still the tenth chief, and now he is the uncle chief.
"Good boy!"
Wang Bochang patted Li Jiucai on the shoulder hard: "I have disappeared for many days, but I am still so energetic."
Li Jiucai laughed and said, "I dare not forget the rules in the army. I always have to practice every day, otherwise I will not be able to do it."
Wang Bochang said: "Go in and talk, you and my brothers will reminisce about the past."
Li Jiucai hurriedly said, "Boss Wang, I really have urgent matters here and cannot be delayed."
Then he said, "The enemy's sign appeared at the mouth of Chaohe. It was the Tartars. There were four or five hundred boats, at least tens of thousands of people. My brother's resettlement village was right next to the mouth of the sea. A brother in the village harvested wheat overnight and saw it. I went and saw that it was indeed the Tartars. He didn't dare to neglect them, so he came immediately!"
"Tartars?!"
Wang Bochang glared: "What a Tartar? Is the news accurate?"
Li Jiucai said: "Boss, you don't know who I am yet?! I saw it with my own eyes."
Bo Wang took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and said, "That's really impossible to delay."
"Come!"
He shouted loudly: "Prepare the boat and go to the other side to see the Jin general."
He said to Li Jiucai again: "Brother and come with me!"
"Here!"
...
At Dagu Military Camp, General Jin was patting his chest and saying to a person: "Old Zhang, when you go back, just let the lieutenant rest assured. I, Lao Jin, do things carefully and have no mistakes. I will immediately let the reconnaissance extend the reconnaissance range."
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "You Lao Jin dares to fight and kill, but you are a little more reckless. I won't remind you that if something goes wrong, you are good-looking. No matter how much the lieutenant value you, he will have to punish you severely."
"I know, why are you, Lao Zhang, like those poor people, never ending." The general of the Jin tribe complained.
Lao Zhang said seriously: "You should take it to heart if you are in your own hands. The war in Shanhaiguan is about to begin, so you have to guard against the Tartars taking the waters to attack. This is the king's order."
The general of Jin tribe said, "I'm just waiting for the Tartars to come! I've been killing these past few months, and I've killed either bandits or bad gentry. It's not a big deal. If I could go to Shanhaiguan for a walk, it would be great, kill it so happily."
"No matter how much you think about it, you can't do things randomly. Now that the situation is now, the governance ground is so big, there must be troops everywhere to suppress it. You can't go to Shanhaiguan all the way. Don't you understand?"
"I understand!" The general of the Jin tribe said bitterly: "It's just that his hands are itchy."
Then he said, "You came late today. During the day, a few big whales came to Lihaikou. One of them was killed. The taste was not bad, almost the same as beef. Unfortunately, half of them were sent to Zhigu, and the other half of the soldiers were all divided."
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for your wish, I've eaten it all."
The Jinmao General slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot, you are in Zhigu if you are a dog."
At this moment, a soldier came outside the door to report: "There is an emergency military report at the outpost on the opposite bank. I want to see the general!"
The general of Jin was stunned and said, "Is it Wang Mazi? Call him in!"
A moment later, Wang Bochang brought Li Jiucai in, beat his chest and fists, saluted his military salute, and said, "Mr. General, Wang Enyi has an urgent report on military information."
"Say." said the Jin general.
"Sir, there were traces of Tartars near Beitang, Chaohekou at the hour of You. There were four or five hundred ships, with at least over ten thousand people." After saying that, Wang Enyi gave up Li Jiucai: "Sir, this is my former soldier, Li Jiucai. After he retired from the army, he became the village chief in a resettlement village in Beitang. The enemy situation was discovered by him."
Upon hearing this, the general of the Jin tribe looked at Lao Zhang and asked together: "Is the news accurate?" They all looked at Li Jiucai.
Li Jiucai said: "Sir, this is something I have seen with my own eyes. I dare to guarantee my life!"
The Kinbu General took a deep breath: "Okay." He waved his hand: "Wang Mazi, take this brother down first."
"Here!"
After the two left, Lao Zhang said, "Old Jin, Lao Jin, you almost got out of trouble. If it weren't for this brother Li Jiucai, hehe!"
The general of Jin swallowed and argued: "Li Jiucai was also a veteran soldier. What he discovered was the veteran discovered."
Then he said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Four or five hundred Tartars landed in Beitang at night. In your opinion, Lao Zhang, what is the situation?"
Lao Zhang said: "With our army's military advance, what is the Tartars? Abatai's tens of thousands of soldiers were cut off from his head? The king of Shanhaiguan was in charge himself. There is no doubt that the Tartars are definitely not an enemy. But how can the Tartars easily admit defeat when attacking with all their might? They must be shaken by various strategies. I think this army is nothing more than a surprise attack on the capital!"
"A surprise attack on the capital...good guy." Jin general said: "If he really runs to the capital city and breaks the capital's inability, it will definitely make the people panic and shake the morale of the army."
He stood up: "Old Zhang, you have to go there again. I must send troops immediately and intercept the Tartars as soon as possible."
Lao Zhang nodded: "You only have 3,000 units. If the Tartars have more than 10,000 troops, it may not be difficult to defeat them, but once the Tartars disintegrate, the people around you will suffer. Just stick with the Tartars, don't start a war easily, wait for the reinforcements of the lieutenant. This Tartars must be fully covered!"
"Absolutely!"
The general of the Jin tribe immediately sent troops without mentioning it, but said that Lao Zhang rode his horse and ran until the early morning to Zhigu. The so-called Zhigu is the capital of the three guards of Tianjin, which is Tianjin hundreds of years later.
There are now more than one lieutenant troops stationed here - including a new recruit and a lieutenant, plus a general-level organization under Lin Jiangsheng. If the Jin generals in Dagu are added, it will be a half-captain, with a total force of 18,000 people.
Lin Jiangsheng had previously been responsible for cooperating with the Madison Yuan to clear out the northern land. In a few months, the cleaning has been basically completed, and some corners have not been completed. So two troops are still clearing out various places, and he himself was ordered to return north and guard the three guards of Tianjin.
This is Ying Yi’s strategic arrangement.
Although the Eastern Lu were the strongest in the army, they developed to this day, especially after the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they gradually had naval troops. Ying Yi had to guard against this.
Now the northern ground has just stabilized and cannot withstand turmoil. Once the Tartars send a partial army on the water and break into the pass, it will definitely hit the people's hearts.
This is something Ying Yi doesn't want to see.
Therefore, they will guard the Bohai Bay with a force of 18,000 troops and horses to guard against the possible water-track divisions of the Tartars.
Ying Yi’s defense against the water surface is not bad. Lin Jiangsheng personally took charge of the three guards of the Bohai Bay, and Zheng Wu was also the navy formed by Zheng Wu. It can be regarded as a strict defense.
But even so, the people below were still relaxed. In other words, the army was not very familiar with coastal defense and had some omissions.
