When he watched Xu and others disappear into the mountains, Bai Yijie shouted at the woods on the side of the road: "Come out, Brother Yi must have been waiting in the forest for a long time."

Later, a young man dressed in a short and thin peddler slowly walked out of the depths of the woods with a load of goods, and came to Bai Yijie's mount. He put down the load of goods and smiled and said, "It's true that he has been waiting for the public servants in the forest for a long time."

Bai Yijie looked at his vivid peddler and smiled: "When I was classmates in the past, everyone said that Song Yichang of the new country was like something, but today you have improved a lot in your pretending skills."

Song Yichang also smiled and said, "If it weren't for Bai Gongfu's personal letter, I wouldn't have traveled around here to investigate. Since I received your letter, I have pretended to be a peddler and went deep into the mine to investigate. In the past few days, I have traveled all the big and small mines in Ezhou. Have you received my investigation letter?"

"The reason I stayed in Ezhou for so many days is to wait for your investigation letter." Bai Yijie waved his feather fan lightly: "I, Bai Yijie, have never done anything I am unsure of."

Song Yichang laughed: "It turns out that only Bai Gongfu has the ability to achieve great things among us. For nothing, I will go home first. If my father finds out for so many days, it will inevitably be better for him."

"I will explain to you by the Lord Ling Zun." Bai Yijie said: "At present, I still cannot live without Brother Yi. Although it has been very hard to travel to Ezhou this time, can I go to Huangzhou for me again?"

Song Yichang was a little puzzled: "What are you doing in Huangzhou?"

"There is a matter of the matter that I have to understand." Bai Yijie immediately showed an unfathomable expression.

While Bai Yijie was cooking the Ezhou mine, Zheng Yunming was busy re-arrangement of the garrison in Xiangyang City.

This is completely Zhao Fan's meaning. If the new generals were not facing too much military pressure after taking office, they were always used to changing defenses to the generals who were originally stationed in various places. According to someone on another plane, if people stayed in one place for a long time, they would inevitably have many complicated joints and even the joints would rust, so it would only be beneficial to move them out.

If everyone moves, the relationship with the local government will not be so close. The connection between soldiers and generals will be weaker. This is indeed a great benefit for the newly appointed general to take control of military and political power.

Of course, Zhao Kui was not so stupid that she immediately drove Zheng Yunming out of Xiangyang. Not to mention that this son was just a celebrity in front of the court and the Privy Council, he might be honest with him. It is not to mention that his ten thousand elite soldiers are indeed the most trustworthy force in the current General Administration and the General Secretary, and he should not leave his side easily. Even if he had a personal relationship with the Qing Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to give up Zheng Yunming at all without any face.

But other troops have to move in a little bit.

The Imperial Loyal Guards stationed in Xiangyang, Fancheng, Xinye, and the north bank of the Han River, including the Deputy Commander Li Boyuan, and the Commander Huang Guobi and other generals were all elite troops convened from the north, with a total of more than 20,000 people. They are now transferred to the Jingmen Army, the north bank of the Yangtze River, Yingzhou and Ezhou.

Replaced them were a variety of troops from other places in Jinghu.

The most backbone part comes from the troops of the Imperial Jing-E Commander General Station stationed in Jiangling and Ezhou, that is, the army left by the Jing-E Commander General Wang Min at the station. The entire Jing-E Commander General Station has a force of about 50,000, and of course only a small part of the troops replaced in Xiangyang.

The other army was the Zhongshun Army, a subordinate of Meng Gong in Huangzhou. Its troops were about 4,000. It was commanded by Meng Gong's brother Meng Jing and was also ordered to station in Xiangyang Prefecture.

In addition, because Dengzhou and Tangzhou, which belong to West Jing Road, had already lost its population and destroyed the city walls and had no value for stationing. Therefore, the Jingxi Funeral Office and the only armed forces under its command, Poche militia with about 2,000 people also retreated to Xiangyang to station.

The Jinghu Commander's Office was under the jurisdiction of the three loyal and righteous troops, known as the Three Zhongshu Army: the Zhongrui Army, the Zhongyi Army and the Zhongxiao Army. About thousands of people were all set out to Xiangfan for a generation of garrisons. These troops were also composed of soldiers who surrendered from the north. They had strong combat power but their loyalty was doubtful.

Earlier, on the way to Xiangyang, the General Administration of the Supervision Office handled the rape of a civilian woman by the General Administration of the Huguang General Administration of the People's Republic of China told the soldiers of the General Administration of the Yingtian General Administration of the People's Republic of China. It took only one day to find out that Liu Qingde, the General Administration of the General Administration of the People's Republic of China, bribed the prostitutes in the city and falsely accused the General Administration of the People's Republic of China. The purpose was to force the General Administration of the Yingtian General Administration of the People's Republic of China, Zheng Yunming, who later the deputy general of Jinge, to move out of Yingzhou. At the time of the reshuffle after the enemy invasion, the Privy Council did not object to this case and expected to pretend to be confused. However, the General Administration of the Huguang General of the People's Republic of China, He Yuanshou, obviously could not stay in the Jinghu Defense Zone where Zheng Yunming was large.

At He Yuanshou's request, the Privy Council was appointed as the General General of Huaidong. Before the new General General of Huguang took office, Xiangyang Governor's Office included the three armies under the General General of Huguang into direct jurisdiction, and the tea merchant army under the affiliated party was transferred to Xiangyang Prefecture to station.

Hubei has been a hometown of tea since ancient times. There are many people who rely on growing tea and sell tea for a living. Because the government monopolized the price of tea, the price of tea is very expensive. As a result, more and more merchants trafficking in private tea, even formed gangs and opened up against the imperial army with weapons. Zheng Qingzhi, who was an official in Jinghu District at that time, gave the Huguang General Office: "This kind of talent is strong, and it is suitable for military service, and it is time to use it for emergency use." The Huguang General Office at that time adopted this opinion and recruited more than a thousand tea merchants to form an independent army. Later, he made many contributions in the war against the Jin Dynasty.

There are only more than 700 tea merchants today, but because the supplementary soldiers are recruited from tea merchants, they are still fierce and fierce. During the First Battle of Jinghu, they once defeated Mongolian cavalry in Yidu County, and were also punished for burning villages and robbing them. In short, this is a team with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

Zheng Qingzhi, who was far away in the capital, was also very concerned about this old army. In his letter, he urged his son to do his best to help the troops established by himself and not to let the name of the tea merchant army disappear into his military status.

Zheng Yunming didn't take his father's words to heart at all. After all, the other team brought him much more shock than the tea merchant army.

Guided by the red pennant flag and the five-color signal flag, the cavalry lined up in three columns to the south gate of Xiangyang from the Nanshan Mountain Road. Each cavalry wore a black iron-headed croaker, a brand new iron armor on the oil gourd bottle, and a leather circle around the waist. The white ribbons on the chest were tied to cross the cross, and the long spear hanging on the Desheng hook was hanging down from the gun flag. The majestic momentum made the people on the roadside worship.

If it hadn't been confirmed that the Mongols would have withdrawn their troops and returned to the north, Zheng Yunming almost thought that this was another Han cavalry affiliated with the Mongolian army would have come to attack.

"Where did this, this, this, this, this, this, this, come from?" He was surprised to express his feelings when he spoke to Wang Deng: "Even the army that has gathered the entire Jinghu Lake can't bring up so many cavalry?"

Of course, it was possible to get it together, but after he arrived in Jinghu, he did not meet these two military horses. By chance, everyone had never mentioned to him that these two military horses existed.

The two armies of the Jing-E-E-Government Department selected the front line and You Yi, which were the most powerful and absolutely elite troops of the Southern Dynasty that were intimidating the world. Each army had more than 2,000 people and was purely cavalry.

During the Shaoxing period, the cavalry of Jinge and E was not only superior to the army of the south, but also able to charge and collide with the Jin cavalry at its peak combat power on the northern wilderness plains and defeat them. At that time, Yue Fei's personal soldiers, the Beiwei Army had more than 10,000 cavalry.

The country has been moving south for a hundred years, and its military equipment has become increasingly weak. However, the lean camel is still a camel. The current five or six thousand cavalrymen in the Jinghu Commander's Command can barely make up enough. However, it is just enough to make up enough, and it is no longer comparable to the Yue family army in terms of equipment, training and discipline, let alone what they are going to face is a giant cavalry group that has never appeared in history that is good at using war horses.

Needless to mention that the Mongolian headquarters is mixed with nomadic cavalry, even the Han'er cavalry represented by the 40,000 Han'er households who had been scattered in North China for a long time, it was enough to deal with these Southern Dynasties cavalry. At that time, the subordinates of the famous Jin Dynasty, Pusan ​​Zhongyi, fought with the Song army in the Huai River, and used 10,000 troops to deal with 30,000 Song army, not only killed the commanders of the Song army, but also eliminated 3,000 Song army cavalry. The weakness of the Song Dynasty cavalry can be seen. It is no wonder that Jin Xuanzong still disdained the combat effectiveness of the Song army in the desperate situation where the Mongols surrounded him on all sides, and claimed that he would "cross the Yangtze River and Huai River with three thousand horses."

But Zheng Yunming didn't mind at all. As long as he had such a scale, it would be enough. According to the usual number of war horses in the Song army, there were only a few hundred horses in the 10,000 army, or even none. After fighting with the enemy, even if he won, he would only kill and kill two or three hundred soldiers at most, and the rest of the enemy fled on the war horses, and the Song army had no choice but to do anything about this.

As long as Zheng Yunming's thousands of cavalry and his rigorously trained infantry were given enough to create small-scale victory in the Jingxiang area, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as one or two thousand people were able to achieve results at each time, this loss was enough to make the Mongols feel so painful that they gave up their plans to invade the Song Dynasty.

But the cavalry today cannot do this. Not to mention Zheng Yunming, who has made some achievements in riding skills now, even the people laughing and watching can see that the riding skills of these knights are really not very good.

Everyone straightens their backs and controls the reins mechanically and rigidly. When urging the war horses to advance, sometimes the force of hitting the ribs of the war horses is too strong. The war horses will neigh and rush out a few steps to disrupt the queue.
