Troubled Times Survival Raiders

With Wu Junyi's order, a major exchange of blood began between the court and the central government.

Anyone who is old, weak, sick, or incompetent will be dismissed directly.Anyone who is well-known about morality, clear and prudent, fair, and hard-working, can be promoted exceptionally if he makes meritorious service and has actual achievements.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of officials outside the capital, the Ministry of Public Affairs is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and the cabinet and censors are in charge of the Ministry of Education.The more high-ranking officials are, the closer they are to Wu Junyi, and Wu Junyi will remember every word and deed in his heart.

The most important thing is that Wu Junyi is young and dares to break the rules of seniority.From the day he convened the cabinet ministers to discuss matters, he realized the importance of fresh blood to the court.It has become one of his principles to recruit talents in an eclectic manner.

According to this standard, Shen Yu's achievements after taking office are enough to be promoted.After Shen Yu has served as magistrate for one year, can he be transferred back to Beijing?Wu Junyi thought confidently.

He didn't bet all his treasures on Shen Yu: In addition to Guangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Quanzhou also set up city shipping departments to approve merchant ships to go to sea.At the same time, he ordered the government to recruit shipbuilding craftsmen to study stronger and larger ships.

Shen Yu did not directly state it in the memorial, but Wu Junyi could feel the convenience of water transportation.After Daqi lost a piece of hills in the north, most places were connected by waterways, while Xianbei had no navy.If you can train a good navy, why worry about the interruption of food and grass?

Of course, Wu Junyi didn't tell anyone about this idea, even the adults in the Ministry of War were kept in the dark.

Year after year of bumper harvests, raids on Jia's mansion, layoffs of redundant officials, etc., brought benefits that are visible to the naked eye. At least the national treasury has been enriched a lot compared to the Jianning period.With spare money, Wu Junyi dared to spend money on military supplies.Responding to Deng Xian and Zhang Jue's request was one bite at a time. Whether it was cavalry or infantry, military training was spent on money.

But Wu Junyi's leisurely life did not last too long: Songzhou, Longzhou, and Dangzhou in the northwest, Tongzhou and Ruzhou in the north, and many places eight hundred miles away rushed to report, and the East and West Xianbei once again sent their troops south, and the flames of war broke out again.

"Damn it! Why is this time!" Wu Junyi frowned, and slammed his hand on the table.

Shen Yu had just been sent to other places by him, and the sea trade had just started to pick up. Da Qi was slowly moving towards the prosperity of the past. The most important thing to avoid was fighting each other, but it happened at this time!

Not the time to get angry.There was a tingling pain in the palm of his hand, Wu Junyi let out a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed all the resentment and anger. "Immediately, invite the six ministers and the military officials to come here!"

Wu Junyi received the news, and the sixth part was not so fast.Hearing that His Majesty summoned him suddenly, most of them were just surprised. The only one who knew about the situation was Deng Xian with his brows furrowed.

Zhang Jue was not polite, and when they were on their way to Wenhua Hall, when he saw Deng Xian, he immediately said: "Xianbei has changed?"

Deng Xian nodded silently, the rest of the people turned pale with shock, Li Qi did not need to introduce the situation when he saw this, and went directly to his Majesty.

"Xianbei went south, the five states were trapped and asked for help, what do you adults think?" Wu Junyi asked.

Hit, can't hit, but Xianbei arrived at the door, and it was unrealistic to persuade him to go back.To defend the city, to negotiate peace - no matter how reluctant, Wu Junyi has to admit that it is not time for a real battle.

It is impossible to discuss peace in vain.Pay tribute, only continue to pay tribute.

It was useless to talk about morality with the Xianbei people. They swung their knives and went south, all they wanted was more money. Fortunately, Wu Junyi could afford them now.

When Zhang Jue first heard the news, he was still worried that the young and energetic emperor would be embarrassing, but seeing Wu Junyi's gloomy face, but unequivocally talking about peace, he felt a little more relieved.

But it is impossible to surrender without a fight. You cannot cede land. This is Wu Junyi's bottom line, and you can't hurt morale. If you don't let the Xianbei people suffer, they will definitely talk loudly.Fighting, you still have to fight, how to fight is the question.

The map had been rolled out long ago, and the monarchs and ministers sat together solemnly, pointing and pointing.It's okay to say on the West Xianbei side, after all, the terrain is dangerous, and the most urgent thing is the East Xianbei side.

Deng Xian and Wu Junyi judged similarly, and they planned the northern reinforcements. Zhang Jue invited him to go, and Wu Junyi nodded.Zhang Jue knew better than them about dispatching troops. As for the follow-up supplies, Zhou Kuang and Zhang Qin naturally worried about them.

It's a pity that the military situation on the front line is changing rapidly. No matter how accurate their judgment is based on the information they sent a day ago, they can only pray that there will be no accidents along the way, and pray for God to bless everyone.

Outside the city of Longzhou, flames shot up into the sky.

"My lord! Xianbei is attacking the city!" Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the herald had to shout loudly.

Shen Rong also shouted with all his strength: "I know! What did Master Xu order!"

Xu Hongxian, the magistrate of Longzhou, has always been on good terms with Shen Rong.The two of them are responsible for managing the army and civilians in Longzhou. Now that the enemy is at hand, they are duty-bound.

The herald fell to his knees with a thud, and Shen Rong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. "Master Xu, Master Xu was hit by a poisoned arrow when he was commanding at the top of the city, already, already!"

Shen Rong staggered in a daze and sat on the chair.

Xu Hongxian is a scholar, very similar to Shen Rong's elder brother.Shen Rong just arrived here, he accompanied Shen Rong to visit the ancient victories of Longzhou, and joked with the title of Marquis Xuchang, "Longzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Title?"

"Help me up!" Shen Rong roared.

He had already put on the armor, and he couldn't bear the weight for a while.The herald dared not speak, and stepped forward to help.Shen Yu stood up, without saying a word, clumsily drew out her saber, and swung it vigorously, with some momentum. "Follow me, go to the city!"

But his lieutenant suddenly stopped him, "My lord is precious, please don't put yourself in danger!"

They all know that this lord is not an ordinary judge, he has a title and a prince and son-in-law.Prince, that is a big shot that this group of people will never see in their lifetime.If something happened to this lord, would they still be able to go back alive?

"Madam is still in the state government office..." They all knew that Shen Houye had always respected Madam Hou very much, and at this moment, he would definitely not want to abandon her.

"Longzhou has reached this point, Master Xu has already died in the city. As a judge, all the people in the city point to my protection. How can I only protect myself? Follow me to the tower!" roar.

No one raised his beak, and the soldiers could only guard the left and right, and accompanied the Hou Ye who had never killed a chicken himself to climb the tower.

The higher you go, the more clearly you can see that the outside of the city is covered in darkness, like endless cavalry. "Longzhou is a natural barrier, how did they cross it!?" Shen Rong murmured.

No one answered him.All the guards were bending their bows and shooting arrows, or slashing people with their knives.Blood was flying everywhere. Now, Shen Rong can only be thankful that before he set off, his nephew asked someone to teach him some martial arts, although now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Shen Rong's hands are trembling, and he can only hold the knife Hold tight.

Mr. Tong San went to the city in person, and the encouragement he brought to the soldiers after Zhizhou had just died in the city can be said to be better than nothing.But if he doesn't come, morale may drop directly,

Loyal to the emperor, he will keep in mind what his nephew told him, but not everyone can be a loyal minister.Shen Rong smiled wryly, Brother Xu, you are much more worthy of the title of Marquis of Xuchang than I am.

In the first half of his life, he was a scholar who studied hard and tried repeatedly, and in the second half of his life, he was a pampered and wasted time.Shen Rong swung the knife clumsily, trying to dodge the rain of arrows.

"Master Hou, be careful!" With a roar, Shen Rong was knocked aside, and the herald in front of him had already fallen.It's a Xianbei person!He is in town!The man grinned grimly, and pulled out the scimitar from the herald, Shen Rong's heart swelled, and he swung the knife forward.

when!

When the blade struck, the strong Shen Rong almost couldn't hold it, but he succeeded, and the soldier next to him had already cut off the head of the Xianbei man, and blood sprayed all over Shen Rong.

If I can go back today...

Shen Rong stood up, numbly wiped the blood from the knife on the Xianbei's clothes, and began to look for the next target.

If he is still alive...

Shen Rong slashed a climber's shoulder, but his left arm was also in sharp pain.He still held on, refusing to let go of the knife until he threw the grinning man down.

"My lord, fireball! Fireball! His Majesty sent someone to send it!" an official shouted at Shen Rong, shaking off the blood on his body.For a moment, Shen Rong didn't realize that he was talking.The noise in my mind was too loud, even surpassing the clash of swords and the roar of the Xianbei people.

After the official yelled and danced several times, Shen Rong finally understood. "The fireball of thistles! It's in the yamen! Go get it!"

No need for Shen Rong to say more, someone has already gone to get it.When the fireball was delivered, the visitor repeatedly warned that it was very dangerous and should not be used lightly, so Xu Hongxian ordered people to guard it strictly, and no one thought about it afterward.

Now, they can only rely on this life-saving straw.

"My lord! The fireball is coming!"

"Replace the stone on the cannon cart!"

The soldiers pulled the rope and untied the stones from the holster. At this pass, the speed of the Xianbei people seemed to accelerate again. Even Shen Rong had to kill the enemy while urging: "Quick! Quick!"

The fireball was ignited, and the soldiers dragged the rope desperately to throw the fireball. Then, with multiple exclamations, everyone saw a bright red curve, followed by several screams.

"Go on! Go on! Don't stop!"

Shen Rong's spirit was lifted, and he ordered people to light fire and shoot arrows. The Xianbei people who had just been on the verge of breaking through were suddenly frustrated and retreated steadily.

When the fireball of thistles exploded, it ejected not only iron objects that hurt people, but also guns, targeting the eyes and ears of those Xianbei people.Blinded in mid-air, they could only fall in despair.

The fireball was thrown further, and even injured the mount of the Xianbei cavalry.

I don't know how long it lasted, more and more Xianbei people were killed or injured under the city. Seeing that the general situation was over, the Xianbei people quickly withdrew, and the tide receded.

"My lord, Xianbei has retreated!"

The soldiers at the top of the city were stumbling around, Shen Rong couldn't stand still, and was stopped by several guards.

"Don't relax!" Shen Rong's vision was blurred, but his nerves were still tense, "Arrange the young and strong in the city into the city defense army, train them to swing knives and archery, call volunteer soldiers from all counties, and ask the city Chinese medicine center to treat the wounded ..."

His consciousness gradually blurred, and he could barely speak, but he continued struggling: "Don't chase, be careful of fraud... Increase the number of patrols at night, Xianbei retreats, most likely going to Songzhou, send a letter to Songzhou , write to the imperial court!"
