The domestic guard is a little sweet

Sun He stumbled in, his face turned pale, and he knelt down at the foot of the bed.

"Master, the North, the North Man attacked Liushu County, stationed in Liushu County, closed the city gate, and resisted desperately."

Zhao Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up and strode towards the study, his voice urgent and fast.

"Go to the magistrate of Donglin, and Yang Zifeng, the local guard general, called me."

"Yes."

Sun He immediately saluted and flew out of the other courtyard. An Twelve put away his long sword, picked up the fur cloak next to him, and put it on Zhao Jin.

"Master, don't worry, Liushu County is located on the northern border, and the northern barbarians have always disturbed the border. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The magistrate of Liushu County is a man with both civil and military skills, and the border guards can't go there for only twenty miles. .”

Zhao Jin and An Shier quickly came to the study room, unfolded the topographic map of the city facing the east, and found Liushu County in the north on the topographic map several hundred miles away. Checking the topography there, they felt nervous little by little, because of the heavy snow this winter In a hurry and fast, countless cattle and sheep died, and the loss was too great.

Being scolded by others and jumping over the wall, they went south to burn, kill and loot, but the local people suffered.

"Lead ten secret guards, one thousand elites from the other courtyard, take your repeating muskets, and set off with the reinforcements in a while."

The situation is critical now, once the northern barbarians break through Liushu County, they will go straight to Donglin when they go south.

Zhao Jin is a person who grew up in a peaceful age, and he has never seen war except in TV dramas and news.

Even though he had made all kinds of plans in his heart, Zhao Jin was unavoidably nervous when things came to an end.

Dark Twelve held Zhao Jin's cold hand and nodded firmly.

"Yes, master, don't worry!"

Zhao Jin held An Twelve's hand, feeling a little afraid that he would hug An Twelve tightly and hold his waist tightly.

"No matter what, you must protect yourself."

Zhao Jin couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Dark Twelve made a mistake.

Zhao Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of something sent from the secret firearms manufacturing camp a few days ago.

"Wait, wait, I have something for you, maybe it will be of great use."

Zhao Jin grabbed Dark Twelve, hinted in a hurry, took out a person, and carefully opened it, only to see a black oval object with some strange ring handles on it.

And in the box there are several square and square items wrapped in oiled paper, neatly arranged. Zhao Jin carefully took out two spherical objects and put them in An Shier's hands, and said cautiously: "The price is the price of gunpowder." Filled, once the pull ring is pulled, it will explode immediately, which is extremely powerful. But the gunpowder is in the bottom of the box, and you take it with you, but be careful not to use open flames unless it is a last resort, even if you use it, you should avoid it Our own people may cause mass casualties."

Dark Twelve naturally knew that after the firearm left, he did not dare to make these things with the small ball master. After observing carefully for a while in his hand, he put it back in the wooden box and nodded solemnly Master, don't worry, Twelve knows up. "

After the two of them spoke a few words, the magistrate of Donglin and Yang Zifeng, the local garrison general, had already arrived in the lobby of the other courtyard.

Without delay, after some discussion, Yang Zifeng took five thousand elite soldiers, together with one thousand elite soldiers from Zhao Jin's other courtyard, and went straight to the north to aid Liushu County.

At the same time, the news that the northern barbarians had violated the frontier, Zhao Jin also sent 800 miles to the capital urgently.

Since Donglin City is Zhao Jin's fiefdom, he is free to protect the local people from accusations, and hastily acted in power. Now the northern barbarians are besieging Liushu County.

Zhao Jin cooperated with the local generals to help the local people to drive them away. It was also an expedient measure to disperse the barbarians, and no one could say anything wrong.

The emperor also immediately dispatched other troops to help, and urgently dispatched [-] firearms to Beijing for support.

And the whole court was fighting like a black-eyed chicken for the candidate of the general who went north this time. After all, the Qi Dynasty had been at peace for a long time. Finally, there is such a good opportunity, everyone wants to come to the north to kill barbarians to accumulate military merits and become a marquis.

In the imperial court, the battle between the First Prince and the Second Prince was the most intense battle for the position. If anyone could get the military power, it would be a great help.

The people on both sides also put in all their strength, and the court hall where no weapons were seen was filled with gunpowder.

The conflict came quickly and urgently. Although Zhao Jin had made preparations in advance, several towns along the northern border were harassed to varying degrees.

These northern barbarians are nomads. They rode to the border to kill and plunder. They robbed women, food and finances, and then left directly.

When the garrison heard the news and came, they had already left the building empty and left corpses all over the floor.

Zhao Jin is in another hospital, but he can receive news from the front every three days, and he can see An Shier's handwritten letter, so he is a little relieved.

When 6000 troops arrived in Liushu County, they had a lot of conflicts with the northern barbarians who were besieging the city at that time, but the firearms of this era in the hands of the reinforcements played a decisive role.Cold weapons are simply comprehensive suppression in front of hot weapons.

After a brief conflict, it ended very quickly. The barbarians rode their horses to the garrison, and the local people stationed in Liushu County rebuilt their homes.

And quickly integrate resources to rebuild fortifications, and the Manchurians may come back at any time, so they won't be scared away so easily.

But this is just a beginning. A large force will then press into the border, and the conflict between the two sides will break out at the touch of a button.

Dark Twelve and Yang Yifeng defended the city against foreign enemies in Liushu County. It was not until about 20 days ago that the army came late. The leading general was the eldest prince, the younger brother of the current empress.

The frontier war with the northern barbarians lasted for two months.

Zhao Jin missed An Twelve very much in Donglin Bieyuan, and wanted to go to Liushu County to pick him up several times, but he held back himself.

And the expressiveness written by Dark Twelve has always been to report good news but not bad news, which really worried Zhao Jin, but it can also be seen from the mansion reports sent by all parties that this battle is coming to an end, and the army of the Great Qi Dynasty has won a big victory. win.

The members of the first prince's family cheered happily, but among them, An Shier and Yang Yifeng's contribution in the initial assistance was quietly collected by the first prince's family as their own credit.

Zhao Jin sighed faintly. The eldest prince is so fickle and ungrateful. He is really not a Mingjun. Zhao Jin still has some contacts in his hand to hand out a few letters, and he secretly asked for credit for Yang Zifeng from the Ministry of War. At last, he didn't bury him. The achievements of the second leader.

When An Twelve rode a tall horse and returned to the other courtyard, Zhao Jin had been waiting in front of the door early, looking at An Twelve's thinned cheeks, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed and stepped forward.

"Thinner, darker."
