Hanzhong Prefecture, Xing'an Prefecture.

During the Song Dynasty, this place was Ankang County, Jinzhou, and during the Yuan Dynasty, this place was Jinzhou, Xingyuan Road. In the early Ming Dynasty, this place was also called Jinzhou. However, the city behind it was flooded and Xinzhou City was rebuilt.

This is the center of the northern part of the Fuzhi area of ​​Yunyang, and it is also one of the places where refugees are most concentrated.

Because whether you go from near Hanzhong Prefecture City to Yunyang Prefecture or continue to flee south from near Shangluo, you basically have to pass here.

The recruitment of Shizhu Xuanwei Department is located outside the north gate of Xinzhou City, Xing'anzhou.

Ma Qiancheng had already submitted a report to the court as Zhu Qizhi said. There was not enough young and strong people in the stone pillars, and there was no need to recruit ten thousand people at all. If he could recruit ten thousand people quickly, he had to go to Yunyang to recruit refugees.

After all, most of the refugees are young and strong. If they weren’t for the young and strong, they would not have the courage or strength to hike for more than a thousand miles and escape.

The fire was burning to the eyebrows, so the court still cared about these things. As long as you can recruit soldiers, you care where you are.

The court said in one sentence, hurry up and ask!

So, Ma Qiancheng took his son Ma Xianglin to set up a recruitment point outside the north gate of Xinzhou City, Xing'an Prefecture.

Their formation was really big. The big flag alone had three poles, and the small flag was even planted dozens of sides. The generals and generals of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, the generals of the Stone Pillar, and the envoy of the Stone Pillar Xuanwei Office, were all very famous.

There are also hundreds of strong white-rod soldiers, who are listed under the banner with great pride, and there are also neat circles of tents on the periphery. This posture is really eye-catching.

Unfortunately, there are not many refugees in Xing'an Prefecture at this time, because the refugees in the five eight prefectures and nine provinces under Yunyang Fuzhi were almost all taken over by the Crazy King Zhu Qishi.

Of course, Ma Qiancheng also pretended to recruit soldiers here. It was impossible for him to recruit real refugees. He just had to wait for the elites under Zhu Qizhu to scatter over and report.

He cooperated with Zhu Qizhu for about half a month, and tens of thousands of elite Qi's army had changed their appearance and changed their appearance to the refugee. He came to Xing'anzhou and became a new recruit under Ma Qiancheng.

Everything seemed to be going well, and even Zhu Qizhu was ready to set off, but Ma Qiancheng had no movement at all.

What's going on?

It's very simple. The weapons, equipment, food, and supplies that the court should have sent to them have not arrived yet.

Of course, it is impossible for ten thousand new recruits to gather together and practice it casually and then join the battle.

At least they must have weapons, otherwise, how can they fight against the enemy?

Do you fight against the enemy with bare hands?

That's really a joke.

Moreover, they have to have a meal.

If you don’t have to eat, you’re so hungry that you’re dizzy, you can’t fight against the enemy.

These two are just the basics.

They also need to have unified military uniforms, otherwise, their own people will not recognize their own people when they fight, and once they get into battle, they will be in chaos.

They also have to have tents for sleeping, otherwise, once it rains, everyone will be drenched in a slaughter, and there is no need to fight this battle. If you have a cold, you will be dizzy.

They also have to cook in a big pot, otherwise everything will be raw and who can continue to eat it.

There are also bedding, water bags, bowls and chopsticks, etc., which must be included, otherwise, what is the difference between them and refugees who flee.

If you are not prepared for anything and then you will rashly pull it off, then you will not go to war, but to deliver vegetables.

Ma Qiancheng had no choice but to wait for the imperial court's food and supplies, but the red utensils seemed a little impatient.

Just so happens that he also wants to try out how effective Ning Xiuer is as a stand-in.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took Li Wanxiong and other generals who had not participated in the regular battle and disguised themselves to Yunyang Wharf, then took the wheel boat, and arrived in Xing'an Prefecture in one day.

That morning, Ma Qiancheng and his son were frowning in the tent and looking at the map. The guards outside suddenly came to report: "General, the prince is here."

ah?

The father and son ran out of the handsome tent and were stunned.

Because standing in front of them was a bunch of people wearing armor and bronze masks on their faces, they couldn't tell who the little prince was!

It turned out that Zhu Qizhu ordered everyone to replace his outfit before getting off the boat.

Seeing Ma Qiancheng and his son stunned, he couldn't help but laugh and walked forward, hugged them into the handsome tent, then took off his mask and said proudly: "How about it, father-in-law, what's my trick?"

Your trick?

Ma Qiancheng smiled helplessly and said, "Who is going to the battlefield with a mask!"

Zhu Qizhu explained with a smile: "It doesn't mean we can't take it before. You can tell others that many people in the battle of Hunhe were injured. Wearing a bronze mask is to prevent the enemy from always greeting them on their faces."

After saying that, he took out a bronze mask from his arms and threw it to Ma Xianglin beside him.

Ma Xianglin took the mask and saw that the mask was specially prepared for him, and there was no hole in the right eye.

At this time, Qi Jin, Zhang Mingshi, Zhang Dadou and other generals of the Qi family army also came to the tent after hearing the news.

Qi Jin couldn't help asking, "Prince, why are you here?"

Zhu Qizhua said with a slight pride: "I don't think of a good way to hide my identity, so have you specially sent a mask?"

After saying that, he ordered Li Wanxiong to distribute the bronze masks he had made to Qi Jin, Zhang Mingshi and Zhang Dadou and other generals of the Qi family army one by one.

Immediately afterwards, he asked with interest: "Brother-in-law, when will we set off?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Qiancheng shook his head and sighed: "Oh, if the court's food and supplies have not been sent over, Chengdu may really not be able to defend it."

Zhu Qizhu couldn't help but curiously said, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Ma Qiancheng said helplessly: "Yes, the latest secret report, She Chongming had already taken Bozhou more than ten days ago. After he connected with An Bangyan's territory, he led the main army northward, and captured Fushun, Neijiang, Ziyang, Jianzhou, Xindu, Longquan and other cities, and surrounded Chengdu in one fell swoop! It is said that at this time, only a few thousand Tunwei in Chengdu were temporarily convened, and I don't know if they could withstand the fierce attack of the rebels."

Damn it!

Zhu Qizhu was shocked when he heard this.

When he ran to the map, he looked solemnly on his face.

It is difficult for Ma Qiancheng to rescue Chengdu at this moment, because all the cities from Chongqing to Chengdu were occupied by She Chongming!

He couldn't help but ask, "Where are the other reinforcements??"

Ma Qiancheng sighed helplessly: "The other reinforcements are similar to me, waiting for the food and supplies of the court. Alas, these two gangs really don't know what they want to do. This is the case in Liaodong and the southwest."

Alas, it's really a little worse!

Liaodong is already in danger, and the southwest chieftain also chose to go crazy at this time to surround Guiyang and Chengdu.

The eunuch party and Qingliu in the court were still fighting around.
Chapter completed!
