Chapter 399 Reactions from all parties when the Jiangnan camp moved south
In the ships heading south from the Jiangnan Camp, almost all the soldiers were packed together.
It can be said that as long as the ship does not sink, can be held up, and can be loaded, then people can be crammed into it.
As for other estimates and the like, no, no, not at all.
..............
In fact, just before the Jiangnan camp went south, along with Yishan's order, the faces of the governors and officials of the three counties along the way changed drastically.
In fact, Yishan's order was very simple. He only needed four thousand sets of armor and eight hundred shields, and nothing else was needed.
It’s just that this condition is too difficult for these counties.
You must know that as a county soldier, theoretically you have armor.
It's just that this is a theory.
If their county soldiers were all wearing armor, even if they were 3000 to [-] men, they would not be able to retreat again and again in the face of an army composed of untouchables!
Especially the governor of Lei County, Ji Men and the admiral Huan Kaichang, their faces were extremely dark when they received this order.
After all, they were defeated again and again, so how could they gather so many armors and shields?
For example, the two counties in Jiangzhou can be said to have never experienced military disasters, and they may not have enough in their arsenal, but they in Leizhou must not have it.
"This is how to do ah?"
In response to this, Admiral Huan Kaishang was already running around anxiously.
However, Governor Ji Men was very calm and quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
"Don't be anxious yet. There is still some time. We can collect some armor from Fengchang County and Lei County, and then order the families of the two counties to hand over a certain amount of armor."
Admiral Huan Kai Chang was a little confused about this suggestion.
"Is this okay? After all, although everyone knows this, no one dares to admit it!"
"Besides, if they are forced too deeply, there is no guarantee that they will not switch to the Han army or Bailian."
When Governor Ji Men heard this, he shook his head and said, "You have to do it even if it doesn't work. This is the Jiangnan camp. Except for the central court, who dares to disobey their orders without fear of annihilating their descendants?"
"Besides, these armors and shields belong to the imperial court, so it has nothing to do with them."
"As for what you said about turning back to Han Jun and Bai Lian, that's impossible."
"First let's talk about the Han army, we can't tolerate them. Then let's talk about Bai Lian, we can't take care of them."
"So, they have no other choice."
"Of course, we can't push too hard. It wouldn't be a good thing if we really push the other way."
At this time, Admiral Huan Kai Chang already had some regrets.
"Actually, I already feel that we made a mistake in requesting support from Jiangnan Camp?"
However, Governor Ji Men did not think so and said coldly:
"Master Huan, please don't forget that if it hadn't been for Jiangnan Camp, we wouldn't be able to sit here safely now."
Admiral Huan Kai opened his mouth and finally sighed: "That's all. Now that things have happened, let's do what the prince asked."
Seeing this, Governor Ji Men smiled and said, "That's right. As long as the Jiangnan Camp is here, what's the problem even if those people rebel? It's just a little more bandits suppressed. In this way, our rights It can be increased a lot.”
Speaking of this, Governor Ji Men seemed to have thought of something.
"We can't forget about this animal. We must make arrangements for the prince to be comfortable."
"Ugh!"
To this, the only answer was a long sigh from the eunuch admiral.
..............
At the same time, the same is true for the other two counties. Although Yishan does not leave them much time, they still have ways to get these things.
For example, the nearest Lingyang County is close to Jiangzhou County, and it takes a day and night to get there by boat.
So while the Jiangnan camp was raising ships, they were also working hard to collect armor.
It's just that their method was much more civilized. They just called a group of squires and nobles together, and then received the orders from the Jiangnan Camp.
It happened that at this time, the news that soldiers from the Jiangnan Camp were committing evil acts in Jiangzhou Prefecture had spread throughout Jiangzhou, and was spreading to all directions along the canal.
So these families naturally heard about the deeds of many people who destroyed their families.
Of course, there are many lies and exaggerations.
However, it is precisely because of this that Jiangnan Camp's reputation becomes even more vicious.
Therefore, just four thousand armors are nothing in just a few days.
They couldn’t get it together anyway! !
In the end, under the leadership of someone, a group of gentry and wealthy families generously donated money to beg the prince for forgiveness.
Of course, since there was so much movement in these three counties, it was clear that the Han army would get the news.
For the Han army, the distance from Jiangzhou Prefecture to Leizhou Prefecture was not too far, only 1000 or two hundred miles.
If we travel by land and follow the elite marching method, it will take at most 20 days to arrive.
However, based on the intelligence from all aspects, Jiangnan Camp did not follow the official route at all, but chose to march by water.
In this way, based on the speed of the waterway, the actual journey only takes three days.
The only counties that can be crossed are Shanquan County and Lingyang County.
So the Han army conducted a second study and response to this, but this time the study was limited to a group of generals, captains and sacrificial wine.
Just listen to Lu Yulin say: "Although the Jiangnan Camp did not march from the official road this time, judging from their preparations, the final choice was to rush to Leizhou Mansion at the normal marching speed."
"And this means that the Jiangnan camp must be a group of extremely elite troops. Unlike the county soldiers of Daqian, they are better at using tools."
"Moreover, the current Leizhou Prefecture, including the entire county, as well as Fengchang County, is recruiting livestock on a large scale. This includes pack horses, mules, donkeys, and oxen. My opinion is that Jiangnan Camp is planning to use these livestock to carry out March and fight quickly.”
"So through the circumstances above, I think we have a very dangerous approach in mind."
There is no need for Lu Yulin to explain the specific details of this. After all, everyone is familiar with military matters. In addition, such meetings will be conducted in advance, so we only need to briefly explain the process and the results.
Therefore, everyone frowned on the issues mentioned by Lu Yulin.
It’s no wonder that the reputation of Jiangnan Camp has been widely spread. The legend of invincibility has been passed down for nearly 200 years, which will make anyone feel embarrassed.
In this regard, Guan Zizuo added: "According to intelligence, the Jiangnan Camp vigorously cleaned up corrupt officials in the army before dispatching troops. It is said that there were thousands of corpses floating in the air."
"So we can infer that the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan camp, 'Yishan', is an extremely serious and difficult guy. This can be seen from the orders he issued to the counties."
"Not to mention the Jiangnan Camp's massive campaign against bandits in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the past two days. They killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of families."
"So I think, if we choose the battlefield in Yilan County, will Yishan be what we want?"
