    When the Mongolian troops outside the city saw that they were ambushed, they all screamed and ran away.  Zhu Sheng then ordered torches to be held high on the four city walls, and all the city's officers and soldiers rushed to the city walls to help defend them. Then he brought several Mongolian soldiers to the government office for interrogation.  Even though the leading brand leader was captured by mistake, he still looked very unconvinced.  When he was brought up, he shouted loudly: "I have never met an opponent since I entered Shuzhong! I am a good man and leave my name. When the commander-in-chief comes, I will behead you one by one, so as not to become a nameless ghost!"  " General Zhao slapped the table and shouted sternly: "You are already a prisoner of the subordinates, and you dare to be the toughest. Don't you know this?" He paused, turned around and asked: "Which part do you belong to?  "His funny appearance made all the generals in the hall laugh. Zhu Sheng shouted to the head of the sign below the steps: "We are the vanguard of Jing'e Deputy Governor Zheng Yunming. Deputy Governor Zheng is leading the army to arrive at the starry night.  Jiading Prefecture, you can't wreak havoc on Sichuan for much longer!" The leader was stunned, and then shouted loudly: "I only know that there is a Shu general in the army, but he has been killed by the army." What is Zheng Yunming's reputation?  , it was during the offensive and defensive battle of Jinghu that year. Before that, apart from the Mongolian army that went to Jinghu, only Ogedai Khan and a few Mongolian generals knew Zheng Yunming's reputation.  Wang Shixian's troops who went south to Jiading Prefecture this time were troops who had recently returned to Mongolia. The army only knew how powerful Cao Youwen was, but they had no idea of ??Zheng Yunming's importance.  Zhu Sheng said coldly: "It doesn't matter, you will soon hear the name of Deputy Governor Zheng more and more." General Zhao wiped his sweat and asked: "Deputy Governor Zheng  When will we arrive at Jiading Prefecture?" Yao Zhong said: "The deputy commander-in-chief has been ordered to protect the whole of Shu and will not advance to a frontline place like Jiading. Our army is just the forward of the deputy commander-in-chief. He has already led the army to Chongqing Prefecture.  , will use Chongqing Mansion as the base to handle the war and defense of the whole Sichuan. " General Zhao did not say anything, but thought to himself that Sichuan is so vast, and there are several people of the same level.  This Zheng Yunming was at best a deputy capital commander and a guest general who came from Hubei for reinforcements. It would be a bit arrogant to talk about protecting Shu from the very beginning.  Not only the Jinghu Department of Envoys, but also the imperial court noticed this problem. If a man with tens of thousands of troops was not given the position of governor, it could be considered that Zheng Qingzhi felt that his son was too sharp and wanted to suppress it.  Now Zheng Yunming has grown into the backbone of the Jinghu War Zone, and his 12,000 soldiers have also become the core combat force of the entire Jinghu Army.  It is difficult to fully utilize the true strength of this army if it is led by the deputy commander alone.  When Zheng Yunming led the army to the east, he received an official document from the Ministry of War to replace the official position. At this time, the imperial court had not yet begun to formally issue merit rewards for the Jinghu battle, but because the emperor wanted the Zheng family's son to deal with Shu as a young hero.  During the war, he appointed Zheng Yunming as the governor of Quanzhou, temporarily taking over the annihilated Lizhou governor, and appointed him as the deputy pacification envoy of Kuizhou Road, under the pacification envoy Lu Pu of Kuizhou, but stationed in Chongqing  The government obviously wanted him to stand alone and become the frontline commander in the war against Mongolia.  This arrangement, as long as it is the person in the officialdom, who does not see the intention of the court?  Therefore, after receiving the notice from the imperial court, Peng Daya of Chongqing Prefecture led the civil and military officials of Chongqing to go several miles away to meet Zheng Yunming's fleet on the Yangtze River.  They waited on the riverside for a long time before they saw an official ship coming slowly from the downstream, pulled by trackers.  The official ship looked like an ordinary envoy ship, and it docked at the dock amidst everyone's astonishment.  Several civil and military officials disembarked first and waited, and then a young general walked out of the cabin.  Looking at his age, he is only around 20 years old, which is too young even for the role of county magistrate, but he already has the honor guard of deputy governor. Who else could he be but Zheng Yunming?  Peng Daya quickly led the civil and military officials to greet him.  Zheng Yunming had finished greeting everyone, and he took Peng Daya's hand with a smile and said: "How is Peng Gong's "Black Tartar Story" written?" When Peng Daya heard Zheng Yunming's words, his ears suddenly rang.  Like a thunder explosion.  He only had the idea at the end of last year to write down his experiences on his mission to Mongolia in detail as a source of information for the imperial court to learn about the north. As of now, he has only written a rough draft, and he hasn't even thought of a name yet.  These few words from Zheng Yunming are a very appropriate title, but I don¡¯t know how Zheng Yunming knew about such a private matter?  Zheng Yunming looked at his confused look and said with a smile: "The princes from the upper reaches always thought that Tianfu is a self-contained entity, but they didn't know that as long as a person is willing, he can find out any secrets, let alone the financial resources of Jinghu.  Come and explore the prosperous Sichuan?" As he spoke, he suddenly looked around at the officials of Chongqing Prefecture with sharp eyes.  It has almost become a common problem in the Song Dynasty that Shu is difficult to control. After Cao Bin defeated the Meng family, ShuThere have been frequent incidents, and it has become even more difficult to control since crossing south.  In addition to repeated mutinies and disobedience, Wu Xi mobilized the people of Sichuan to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, and wanted to send an army of 100,000 down the river to take the south of the Yangtze River.  No one in Sichuan, from the high-ranking Xuanfu officials sent by the imperial court to the ordinary officials and people in Sichuan, took the imperial court's orders too seriously.  As a result, the imperial court had a very bad impression of Sichuan. In addition, although Sichuan was known as Tianfu, corruption was rampant and redundant troops were more harmful than Jiangnan.  Sichuan is blooming with flowers, but its fiscal revenue and expenditure are in deficit. Every year, the government requires subsidies of more than 10 million yuan to barely maintain fiscal balance.  No wonder the DPRK has repeatedly called for giving up Western Shu and establishing a country in Jiangnan.  But Zheng Yunming understood that running Sichuan well was of key significance to the entire Song Dynasty.  The rugged mountains in eastern Sichuan are the best place to restrain the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongols are also accustomed to building high-rise buildings and outflanking them. Sichuan is an ideal battlefield that conforms to their traditional tactics.  In the next ten years, the Mongols will continue to pour heavy troops into the battlefield in Sichuan, trying to break through from here along the river and take over the south of the Yangtze River.  If Sichuan is managed well, the Song Dynasty will be preserved, and the legal system of Yan and Huang will be preserved.  ¡°But to run Sichuan well, we must first overwhelm this group of local officials who are used to being local bullies.  After Zheng Yunming glanced at everyone with a sharp glance, he immediately turned to a gentle tone and said: "I have always known that you are loyal ministers. The imperial court sent me today not to put me above you, but to stand beside you.  Together, the imperial court has always believed that with the ability of Sichuan's civil and military ministers, it can govern and defend Sichuan. You just have to work diligently and serve the country with all your heart. Apart from this, Zheng Yunming is here and your achievements will not be buried in the middle of Sichuan.  ." He is such a junior official and he has just stepped onto the soil of Sichuan and made such wild remarks.  Officials in Chongqing were trembling and did not dare to be serious.  Like the officialdom in Jinghu, the Sichuan officialdom also has spies in Jinghu.  What official changes have occurred in Jinghu recently, what major political and military measures have been taken, and what new people have emerged.  In less than ten days, it will definitely reach the ears of Sichuan officials. Although the official messengers of the imperial court cannot get the news, the private news of officials from various places spreads very fast.  They have already understood about 70% to 80% of the deeds of Deputy Dutong Zheng. Moreover, when they received the official document a few days ago, they had already received rumors claiming that Dutong Zheng had received the emperor's handwriting and was going to Sichuan for deployment.  War and defense matters.  As soon as he got off the boat, he gave the welcoming officials a slap in the face, which further confirmed this rumor.  At that moment, everyone was extremely careful, for fear of offending this "imperial envoy" who was not an imperial envoy.  After everyone greeted Zheng Yunming and sat down at the magistrate's office in Xiaopailou, Chongqing Prefecture, Zheng Yunming asked: "What was the situation in Sichuan back then? The river road was previously blocked, and we were faced with a fierce attack by the army led by Qu Chu. We really had no chance to take care of both.  In the direction of Sichuan. Since the death of General Cao and the fall of Chengdu, what have been the movements of the enemy? Where are the Mongolian armies still stationed? Where are the prefectures and counties where the second prince Kuo Duan is stationed?  Riding and ravaging, what is still in our hands? How is our army's strength? How much money and food is left in Shu? " Everyone listened to his rapid-fire questions and stared at Peng Daya.  In terms of official rank, Peng Daya is the prefect of Chongqing. Although he has just taken office and has not yet added the title of deputy envoy to Sichuan, in terms of official rank, he can completely overpower Zheng Yunming, the deputy envoy of appeasement. Only he can take on the same role as Zheng Yunming.  Eligibility for Negotiation.  Peng Daya started talking to Zheng Yunming one by one in a leisurely manner.  "After the fall of Chengdu, the Hu cavalry went out in all directions and plundered almost every state and county in the western Sichuan Plain. Hanzhou, Meizhou, Pengzhou, and Yongkang armies all fell, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were massacred by the Hu people. Southwest of Chengdu Prefecture  Qiongzhou also fell, and Zhizhou was killed. In addition, the Mongolian army also raided Zizhou and Puzhou in the north of Jiading, and was preparing to attack Jiading Prefecture. Moreover, Mongolian rangers appeared in various prefectures and counties in eastern Sichuan and burned manors.  , destroying crops, killing and plundering people. "But the enemy suddenly returned in full force recently, and moved very quickly. The Mongolian cavalry in various prefectures and counties retreated on their own overnight, presumably because they were all in Xiangyang.  It was a great victory and Qu Chu was killed, so the Mongolian army was eager to return north. "Zheng Yunming waved his hands and said: "There is a saying in the army that Qu Chu died of illness on his own, not because of our army's military exploits. What Fu Tai means.  There are no heavy Mongolian troops in Shuzhong now?" Peng Daya nodded: "If we say there are heavy troops, there is only one left. It is Gongchang Commander Wang Shixian's troops stationed in Qingshen County, which is said to have more than 30,000 troops. According to  According to the analysis of the frontline battle reports, there are at least 20,000 cavalry, and no unit in Sichuan can compete with these 20,000 elite cavalry in the wild. "
