Fielding soon received the letter from Bo Jinchen. He sighed secretly in his heart. He could not blame Bo Jinchen, whether it was the 3rd Ranger Regiment stationed in Xikang or the 2nd Ranger Regiment stationed in Wulanji. , the Fourth Ranger Regiment, the cavalry in these two places are all reserve teams in the hands of His Highness the King of Qin. Without the order of His Highness the King of Qin or the order of Ling Tianfang's Military Affairs Office, it is impossible to mobilize them. This principle has long been Fielding, who was polished in the military, naturally knows this. However, it would take less than three or four days to wait until the dust-thin snow pigeons fly to Burma and then send the order back to Xikang. No matter how fast the snow pigeons are, it is impossible. But in these three or four days, the Kaman people have to fight hard. It’s enough to step into the land of Qingyang.
It seemed that everything was up to him. Fielding rubbed his face with a wry smile. He didn't expect that he had only taken off his military uniform for a few months and had to play a guest role as an army commander. Fortunately, there was a rebuilt Fifth Army in Qingyang City. There are still two regiments in the Yinchuan Prefecture of the Fourth Division of the Legion. Bo Jinchen has ordered the three regiments stationed in Taixuan to quickly return to Qingyang, and has also mobilized a cavalry regiment guarding Taixuan to strengthen Yinchuan's troops. , but can this defeat the purpose of the Kaman people? The Kaman people did not come to conquer the city, but to rob food. They saw huge granaries in front of them, and bags of yellow rice and wheat were neatly stacked one after another. Even though they mobilized the entire Qingyang area, Vehicles and transportation capacity, but it is obviously unrealistic to transfer so much food into Qingyang City at once, so such a transfer would be worthless.
How about simply burning so much food at once? Such an idea suddenly flashed into Fielding's mind, but he immediately rejected his somewhat ridiculous idea. Not to mention whether the Kaman people would raid here, even if the Kaman people came with a large number of transport vehicles, The Kaman people can only take away one percent of these millions of loads of food. Even if they are lucky, it is impossible to destroy the remaining ninety-nine percent just for this one percent. OK.
Knowing that this battle is extremely difficult and dangerous, Fielding can only do his best. According to the worst estimates, if the Camans launch a surprise attack immediately, they should arrive within three days. Three days is not a long time, so to speak. It's not short, it's enough to prepare yourself. In addition to immediately issuing an emergency order in Qingyang Prefecture and declaring a state of emergency, Fielding ordered all young and middle-aged men living in the city to assemble and carry tools in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Emergency Regulations of the Western Xinjiang Governor's Prefecture" , gathered outside the Caizhai grain reserve thirty miles away.
With the promulgation of martial law, the people of Qingyang all estimated that another storm would hit, but they did not understand who would come to stroke the tiger's beard at such a time. Although His Highness the King of Qin was not in Qingyang, Qingyang was In the Western Xinjiang Protectorate Office, those who dared to provoke all returned home in embarrassment with their heads broken and bleeding, and now there are actually those who come to send their dead. The announcement from the Governor's Mansion did not explain any reason, but the war in Jerok was intensifying. People could estimate that it must have a lot to do with the war situation in Jerok in the East. Qingyang citizens who were accustomed to obeying immediately swarmed out and arrived at the designated time. Cai Zhai.
Fielding's plan is very simple, that is, to continuously dig trenches around the Caizhai grain depot, one layer around the other, the more layers the better, using this clumsy but very practical method to deal with distant enemies. The Kaman people who came here came back empty-handed. If they wanted to move the grain, whether it was transported by horse-drawn carriage or animal power, they had to cross these trenches and defeat the defenders in the grain depot. Fielding was determined to hold on to the Fourth Division until the last moment. Even if the Fourth Division was completely wiped out, he would never let the Camans' conspiracy succeed.
After receiving the urgent military information from Nanjielok, Jin Zecheng knew that he had to face a cruel war again. A division and a cavalry regiment were already the greatest support given to him by the coach in the shortest time. Fortunately, one of the divisions in his hands finally returned to his own hands, and there was also an additional cavalry regiment. Jin Zecheng still planned to play this game with the Kaman people. It had been a long time since he had tasted the taste of war. Jin Zecheng even longed for this moment to come.
The food problem gave the new Yinchuan City Guard Tong Ling a headache. The Sisluo people only had time to transport half of the one million dans of grain stored in the Yinchuan Prefecture's reserve grain depot, and another one million dans of grains were stored in the Yinchuan Prefecture's grain reserve. Fortunately, the Sisluo people's transport envoy is in Yinchuan City. The money purchased by the Sisluo people for grain has already entered the account of the Xijiang Finance Department. As long as the transfer procedures for this batch of grain are completed, everything has nothing to do with us. , even if it was snatched away by the Kaman people, it had nothing to do with him. After discussing with Jin Zecheng, the commander of the Third Division stationed in Yinchuan City, Tong Ling finally agreed to the other party's suggestion and did not take any protective measures for this batch of food and did not report it to the Sisluo people, but regardless of How to get the Heathrow envoy to sign the handover procedures so as not to put oneself in a passive position after the food is robbed. In this way, oneself are afraid that the Kamans will not dare to take action.
Jin Zecheng and Tong Ling even looked at the transfer envoy who had been invited out of the brothel in Yinchuan City by his subordinates with some malice. As long as the other party signed to take over, everything would have nothing to do with them.
Mardeno looked at the other two people who hurriedly pulled him off the woman's belly with some confusion. There was still thirty miles from Yinchuan Fucheng to the grain depot, and it took the carriage nearly an hour to get there. He didn't know that the other party Why should we suddenly go through the transfer procedures for the remaining grain at this time? There seems to be something wrong in this.
Although he is a relative of His Majesty the Emperor, Mardeno cannot be called mediocre. He is just as keen on money and beautiful women as a normal person. He finally got this good job as an envoy to Yinchuan to receive food. Except for Yinchuan Mansion, In addition to food and accommodation, the taste of bitches in Yinchuan Mansion seems to be very different from the taste of women in China. I don't know whether this is really the case or just a psychological feeling.
"Two adults, you are so eager to call me here today. I don't know what is going on to hand over this batch of grain immediately. Now our country does not have so many transport vehicles that can transport this grain away at once?" Mardeno saw. Even the garrison leader, who had rarely shown his face, came forward, and he was even more murmuring in his heart.
"Oh, Mr. Mardeno, it's like this. His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister of your country are very concerned about this batch of grain. They have repeatedly sent letters to my King Qin requesting that this batch of grain be transported back to your country as soon as possible. It is said that some time ago Your Majesty the Emperor even misunderstood that His Highness the King of Qin had other intentions, so in order to restore these effects, His Highness the King of Qin has ordered us to transport this batch of grain to your country as soon as possible to avoid any unpleasantness for both of us." Tong Ling had already discussed the words with Jin Zecheng, and these words were well-founded. The country of Xisluo had indeed sent a letter to His Highness the King of Qin due to the shortage of food, requesting that the food delivery be completed as soon as possible. This became the most suitable excuse. .
It turns out that if it weren't for this guy Li Wufeng's order, I'm afraid this guy would still be making mushrooms with me now. I could just take this opportunity to make a good deal. Mardeno had a troubled look on his face and rubbed his hands. Said: "But Mr. Tong, you also know that we can't mobilize so many vehicles at one time to transport them. What should we do?"
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Mardeno, as long as you let the inspectors you bring to inspect this batch of grain and sign on this handover list, our procedures will be completed. To be honest, your subordinate must immediately Submit this handover list to the Government Affairs Office of the Metropolitan Protectorate in Qingyang, otherwise it will be difficult for the subordinate to explain it to the superior. Please help Mr. Mardeno to help our brothers." Tong Ling smiled humbly and stood next to him. The other person's body, a note was also quietly stuffed into the other person's hand.
He quickly glanced at the banknotes and three thousand gold shields stuffed in his hands. He tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart and keep a solemn face. Mardeno thought to himself, it seems that this guy was pushed hard enough by his boss. The sky still ignored me, but now it has turned around.
"Hey, Mr. Tong is serious. You and I are both cheerful people. How can we not be considerate of your difficulties? However, we are both public and private, so the inspection of food is indispensable." Marde Nuo was still a little worried that the other party was playing tricks in this regard. After returning to China, the situation with the Prime Minister was not easy.
"No problem. Just ask Mr.'s inspector to check and count the goods. It's okay to sign until you are satisfied." Tong Ling naturally knew what the other party was worried about. He waved his hand generously and motioned for his people to take the other party's inspector into the warehouse to inspect the goods. "By the way, after checking the goods and counting enough, if there are no mistakes, please ask the troops brought by your Excellency to station in the granary to guard it, and we will be clear."
I was originally a little worried that the other party was so generous and wanted to interfere with me after signing the contract, but when I saw that the other party took the initiative to let a group of people he brought to take over the guard, Mardeno also felt that he was not judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. However, this kind of thing cannot be ignored, so he unceremoniously asked the thousand soldiers he brought from Nuremberg to garrison the granary immediately.
Seeing the other party's satisfactory signature, Tong Ling and Jin Zecheng both breathed a sigh of relief. Now they can finally deal with possible threats wholeheartedly. There is a division guarding Yinchuan. With the defenses of Yinchuan City, it is unlikely that the Kaman people will attack the city. Jin Zecheng does not just want to defend the city. Since the Kaman people dare to invade, if he cannot rely on this Wouldn't it insult the military power of the Western Xinjiang Army to teach the opponent a lesson with the advantage of home court
