Chapter 207: The Storm (Part 1)
"Are you a scholar?" Li Yong pretended that he didn't know Chen Ning, held his chin, looked at Chen Ning, and asked in a deep voice.
"Could it be that he has been exposed?" Chen Ning immediately panicked. With Wu Nian's current prestige in Beishan Fort, he would be torn into pieces by the angry soldiers.
But his psychological quality was very strong. Although he was panicked in his heart, he was very calm on his face. He calmly bowed his hands to Li Yong and said, "Reporting to Li Sima, I have read a book."
"How many years have you been studying? Did you study in a private school? Do you have any fame?" Li Yong asked as if he was interested.
"Han Chuang has been studying hard for ten years. He studied in a private school and has no fame." Chen Ning felt certain when he saw this and became more and more calm.
"Well, although there is no fame, the population of our Beishan Fort is equivalent to that of a county. In addition, the general opened the mansion, and the mansion lacks many civil servants. Are you willing to work in the mansion?" Li Yong took advantage of the situation and extended an olive branch.
, recruiting road.
Among the men who were afraid of joining the army, they immediately looked at Chen Ning with envy and jealousy. They hated their parents, why didn't they send them to study.
It’s great to be a scholar.
Chen Ning was also happy in his heart. If he was dragged to be a strong man, he would probably die on the battlefield. Now it couldn't be better.
Chen Ning thought for a moment, then a look of awe appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "As a descendant of the Yan Han, I am willing to serve the general with all my hard work."
"Okay. You don't have to be a militiaman anymore. Just stand aside. I'll take you to the mansion later and give you your name." Li Yong nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Yes." Chen Ning became more and more calm, moved to Li Yong's left side, and quickly got into the role.
Wu Nian established a grass-roots team. Among the three important officials in the founding of the government, there was only one Sima Li Yong in charge of military supplies and logistics, leaving two missing.
Half of the militiamen were also reluctant.
But he had set up a team after all, and now there is a fanatical atmosphere hanging over Beishan Fort, whether willingly or unwillingly.
All they could do was roll up their sleeves and follow him.
Regardless of elite soldiers, militia, or civilian households, they all united around the power structure [Fuhan General's Mansion] and started operating at a high speed.
The remaining soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Whether it is a Mongolian warrior or a Han warrior.
It's the same whether you're defeated or not. Just run wildly.
In the tunnel battle, Wu Nian only defeated and killed a large number of Mongolian and Yuan soldiers, but did not annihilate them all. It was not that he did not want to annihilate them all, but that he did not have enough troops.
It is impossible for three hundred elite soldiers to surround and annihilate a thousand people.
These Mongolian and Yuan soldiers fled from three directions: north, east, and west, but no one was stupid enough to flee to Beishan Fort.
At daybreak, these people followed their instinct and gathered in the north.
They also had four centurions. After counting their number, there were still more than 300 people.
Four centurions sat together with sad faces on their faces.
"We were defeated and even the commander of the army was killed. General Jin was furious and might have killed the four of us."
"Even if we are killed, there is nothing we can do. We can't escape. Our family is still in Mengyuan."
"Although we are only over 300 people now, there are definitely still some who have scattered. How about we gather our forces and storm Beishan Fort to make the difference?"
"Now the morale of the soldiers is low and there are no supplies. How can we storm Beishan Fort? We will only be defeated again. I think we should choose someone to gallop back to Jiang County to report the news. Please ask General Jin not to kill us and let us take the lead as a death squad.
.In this way, we can always survive. Even if we die, it is much better to die on the way to charge than to be beheaded."
"That's right. Dying in battle is honor, being beheaded is humiliation. If I die in battle, my family will be proud of me. If I am beheaded, my family will spurn me."
In the battle last night, six centurions died in battle. The death rate among officers was frighteningly high. Moreover, these four did not escape before the battle, but had to retreat because the situation was not right and they were coerced by the rebels.
They still have a sense of honor in their hearts and the pride of being centurions of the Mongolian people.
Soldiers who are not afraid of death and want to avenge their previous shame are the most terrifying.
The four centurions looked sad at the beginning, but looked determined at the end. They all turned their heads to look in the direction of Beishan Castle, showing expressions of gnashing teeth.
I must gnaw down this city and avenge my previous shame.
"I went to plead guilty to General Jin and asked him to let us be the first wave to attack the city." A majestic centurion stood up and said firmly.
"Okay. You go right away. We will gather the remaining soldiers and return to Jiang County." Another centurion nodded and said.
They can't stay without food and supplies. Even if they want to set up a death squad, they can only retreat first.
The four centurions were all brave and determined people. After they had an idea, they immediately split up and acted.
Jiang County.
This was originally a big city with prosperous commerce. When the Meng Yuan people first entered Jiang County, the city gates were closed and the city was under martial law.
The people in the city were indeed panicked. But soon thousands of Han households were established, and Zhang Bu began to recruit troops.
The county government began to operate again.
The Mongolian and Yuan armies were stationed outside the city again and did not enter the city to disturb the people.
Again, many people have healed their scars and forgotten the pain. Many people have forgotten about the Mongolian people spreading the plague.
They saw that the Meng Yuan people not only did not massacre the city, but also showed a pro-people attitude. Although they were not grateful, they were really relieved.
Life has to go on anyway.
No matter who pays grain or taxes, it will be the same.
Without Wu Nian as a troublemaker, the Mongolian and Yuan people's strategy would have been very smooth. They would have quickly eaten up the remaining generals and land in Liaodong, and turned the Han people into "our own people".
The combined army went to attack Shanhaiguan and devour the Chu State.
Jiang County will soon regain its prosperity.
Jin Huanshan's mansion, inside the main hall.
The splendid main hall has various exquisite and expensive furnishings. Jin Huanshan is wearing a silk gown and sits elegantly on the main seat. Below him is Zhang Bu, the Han general of ten thousand households, and the county magistrate Bao Wei.
Half of them surrendered. Of course, a small county magistrate did not have the courage and ability to resist the Mongolians.
Jin Huanshan held the tea cup and took a sip of tea. A look of relief appeared on his face. He raised his head and said to the two of them: "When it comes to growing tea, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, you Han people are better."
"This Dahongpao. When I was in the north, even if I was a general of ten thousand households, it would be difficult for me to drink it. It is truly one of a kind in the world. Good tea, good tea."
The county magistrate Bao Wei immediately shaved his beard and patted the horse and said: "What the general said is that farming, tea, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting depends on the Han people. In battle formations and fighting, it depends on the Mongolian people."
"There is not only Dahongpao but also a lot of good tea from the Chu Kingdom. When our army breaks through Shanhaiguan, enters the Chu Kingdom, and takes control of the Central Plains, with the status of a general, there will be plenty of good tea."
"Hahahaha." Jin Huanshan has outstanding abilities and is invincible when leading troops in battle, but who doesn't like to hear good words? He laughed loudly after hearing this.
It is well said that Liaodong is already catching a turtle in a urn.
