    Zheng Yunming seemed not to notice the psychological activities of the officials, and continued: "The last thing is the most important and urgent, which is to organize the army. Currently, the army is separated by the Tartar cavalry and scattered in various places. We must gather them together."  In addition to forming several combat-effective field troops and deploying garrison troops on the newly built mountain city, a new army also needs to be recruited and trained to make up for the losses of the Shukou Army. This is directly related to Sichuan's life and death.  It¡¯s a big matter. I¡¯m not afraid of the prefect¡¯s disapproval. I have to take care of it myself.¡± Peng Daya nodded and said, ¡°I heard that you have received your Majesty¡¯s handwriting to do everything as easily as possible. All the officials in Sichuan will fully cooperate with you.¡± Zheng Yunming stood up and saluted.  It is clear that Xishu can be saved. Without further ado, I will set off to Jiading Prefecture to inquire about the enemy's situation and inspect the defense in person. " Peng Daya said a few words of encouragement for his hard work, and thought to himself, this Jinghu man.  Is the newly promoted young famous general relying on the shadow of his boss, or does he really have some talent? Let's ask Wang Yaksha to give him a try.  Jiading Prefecture was called Jiazhou in the Tang Dynasty, which was Qianwei County in the Han Dynasty. Its land was rich in products, including salt, tea, and iron ore.  The local Han officials and Fans and barbarians live together, making it difficult to govern.  At this time, Jiading Mansion was crowded with Chengdu people who had fled from the upper reaches.  There was even more noise and chaos, and it looked like a disaster was imminent.  The official ship Zheng Yunming was riding slowly approached Jiading Mansion Pier amid the chaos.  There are no other famous scenery in Jiading Prefecture. There is only one place that is well-known all over the world, which is the stone-cut Buddha sitting on the cliff.  Jiading Prefecture is the place where three rivers converge. The water is so strong that boats often get sunk here.  Haitong, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, made a great wish to carve an unprecedented stone carving on the cliff, a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha, to protect the safety of the people of Jiazhou.  It took a total of ninety years and hundreds of thousands of people to carve the Giant Buddha in Jiading Prefecture. It is indeed the largest Buddhist statue in China.  Even when he was standing on the pier, Zheng Yunming was shocked by the huge Buddha statue. He turned to Yu Jie and said: "The power of faith is so magnificent. With the ability of a mere couple, they have spent countless efforts and money over the years, and on the cliff  Such magnificent Buddha statues are carved on the wall. If the army and the people are organized with this spirit, why worry about being unable to expel the barbarians?" Yu Jie nodded and said, "No one can do anything. What is missing is confidence and harmony.  Perseverance. As long as you have both, even the Mongolian army is not invincible. The general has proved this." Zheng Yunming was about to answer, and suddenly Zheng Xian pointed to the shore behind him and said, "Young Master, we are the local defenders.  "Come to greet us!" Zheng Yunming looked up and saw a military horse arriving on the river bank. There was a big king character on the leader's tall banner, and there was no title on it. Under the banner, there were big men like iron towers riding on them.  A maroon war horse, wearing a helmet and armor, walked at the front carrying a bow and a sword. He was dressed in exquisite equipment, but the more than 200 people following behind him were thin and withered, some were old, some were young, some were wearing torn clothes.  Not to mention the armor, most people's clothes are in tatters, and they don't even cover their bodies.  As for the weapons, some were holding wooden bows, some were holding rusty iron knives, some were holding tassel spears with half of the tassel missing, and some were more direct and simply followed the team with a wooden stick.  I don¡¯t know whether the army is welcoming the school parade or the beggars are holding a meeting.  The team was sparse and mixed, noisy and rushed straight to the dock.  Ma Guangzu was surprised and said: "Isn't it that Wang Kui's troops are the most effective troops in Sichuan? Why are they so lax and weak?" Zheng Yunming laughed and said: "Father and brother Hua, don't be anxious, let's go ashore and see what kind of drama Wang Tongzhi sings." Everyone boarded.  When they came ashore, they watched Wang Kui's troops finally get into formation after struggling for a long time. Wang Kui and his two lieutenants came over to pay homage to the deputy envoy who came to inspect them.  After both parties finished the ceremony, Zheng Yunming said seriously: "I have heard that the commander's soldiers and horses are strong and his troops are brave. Today's team does not seem to be in line with the commander's reputation." Wang Kui said proudly: "Wang has a large army behind him, but he is afraid of frightening the little one.  The officer's entourage." He said and winked at the deputy general beside him.  The general looked up and walked quickly to a slightly higher slope, waving the small red flag in his hand. After a while, he heard the sound of people in the valley, the sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder, and thousands of brightly colored clothes.  The soldiers came out from behind the mountain and ran in small groups under the command of the flag. The wilderness in the distance was like a boiling cauldron.  The deputy general waved the small red flag again, and the army quickly formed into formation, with spears like a forest, strong bows and crossbows behind them, the cavalry swords on both wings were unsheathed, the bows were hung on the strings, and they looked at Zheng Yunming with eager eyes.  This is a circular formation used for field defense. The flags are clear in each row, and the formations are strict. There is no flaw in the formation.  Wang Kui laughed loudly and asked: "Little official, can Wang's troops be called elite?"   Before Zheng Yunming could reply, he shouted at the huge military formation: "Children, come and pay homage to Zheng Fufu!" Thousands of people roared in unison, drowning out the flowing river: "Xiong Bianjun comes to pay homage to Zheng Fufu!"  !¡± None of Zheng Yunming¡¯s entourage looked ugly. They were not here to welcome the review. They were clearly here to give the new Deputy Envoy a warning.  Only Zheng Yunming's expression did not change at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Wang Kui: "The formation is strong and the soldiers are well-trained. The commander is worthy of being a pillar of independent support for the overall situation in southern Sichuan." Wang Kui was secretly happy, this boy Humanity did a good job in Jinghu  Great achievements. Today, when I saw it, I was frightened by my own men and immediately changed my attitude. It was just an ordinary official. I took this little official into my hands. In the future, I can report my achievements at will and be granted the title of wife and son-in-law. It will be just around the corner.  So he stepped forward and said, "Please let me, officials, come to Jiading City to rest!" "You're not busy, you're not busy." Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said, "I'll wait for a while." He gestured to Ren Xiongwei behind him.  Ren Xiongwei reached out and took out a trumpet barrel, lit it with a torch and stuck it on the ground. A thunder exploded in the clear sky.  Not long after, I heard the tide of the river in the distance, and a sound like rolling thunder came over.  At the mouth of the Jiajiang River, groups of water-whistle horse boats and paddle boats flew their paddles amidst the noisy slogans, and formed a wild goose feather formation in the snow-white waves. The formation moved towards the dock in an orderly manner.  And the large army of troops on land poured out from the mountain col amidst the rumbling of war drums. Under the flags flying high, the soldiers in shining armor divided into four columns and marched forward. The most terrifying thing was not that they came.  The equipment and ordnance of the army far exceeded that of Wang Kui, who thought he was invincible in Shu. However, when thousands of troops marched forward, they only heard the dense rain of footsteps and the sound of horse hooves, but not a single person.  The noise and discipline are so strict that it is incredible.  Amidst the thunderous sound of war drums, the army marched to a place hundreds of steps away from Wang Kui's headquarters. The cavalry spread its wings, and the gunmen and crossbowmen stepped forward, standing in three rows in front of the formation, holding spears.  One by one, they thrust their spears toward the sky. The halberdiers raised their blades. The twigs of the halberds were blown by the wind, like a continuous forest.  Others lined up two-wheeled carts loaded with wooden and bamboo tubes in front of the army horses, with the dark mouths of the tubes facing Wang Kui's men.  Zheng Yunming saw the sudden change in Wang Kui's face, and the two lieutenants also looked frightened. They smiled and said: "Don't panic, the commander. I'm just afraid that the army will frighten the commander, so I came first by boat."  The Jingchu army formation shouted: "Salute to Wang Tongzhi and his comrades in Shu!" Wang Deng, who was riding a white horse in front of the team, shouted and raised his gun to the sky. General Bamboo's gunner also raised the muzzle of General Bamboo's gun.  The world was immediately enveloped by a rumble of thunder. Amidst the fire and smoke, the huge roar shook the eardrums of Wang Kui's men. The loud noise in the sky even made the pebbles on the cliff on the other side rattle.  Rolled down.  Seeing the army approaching, Wang Kui's army and horses, which were still basically calm, immediately collapsed in front of the soul-shaking loud noise. Many people involuntarily discarded their weapons, and some began to run away in panic.  Not to mention that several of Wang Kui's lieutenants were trembling with pale faces, even Wang Yaksha himself was pale and could not say a word for a long time.  He thought that after Cao Youwen died in the battle, his troops would not only be the best in the world, but also one of the few powerful troops in the Southern Dynasties. The court would definitely rely on him in the future.  Unexpectedly, today, when facing Zheng Yunming's team, there was no real confrontation, and his troops were completely defeated, and all their arrogance and arrogance were completely dissipated.  Zheng Yunming looked at the trembling looks of Wang Kui's generals, held back his laughter, and said comfortingly: "The sons and daughters are reckless, don't blame the rulers, Qu Chu was also scared off by this battle, and tens of thousands of fine cavalry were killed before they even fought.  Defeated." Wang Kui smiled brightly and said, "Today I know why even Mongol's new and famous generals like Tasi have repeatedly suffered defeats at the hands of officials. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to resist such wind and thunder.  It's hard to resist." Zheng Yunming smiled and shouted: "Come on!" Sergeant Beiwei quickly brought his mount. Zheng Yunming got on his horse, urged the horse to the center of the two armies, and shouted to Wang Kui's men: "I  Zheng Yunming, the deputy envoy to appease Kuizhou Road, was in charge of the capital of Quanzhou. He came to Sichuan on special orders from the imperial court. I came to Sichuan not to seek wealth, not to seek official positions, and thirdly not to seek fame, but just because of Sichuan.  It is the foundation of the country. As long as Sichuan is occupied by the Tatars, thousands of people and the country in the lower reaches will inevitably fall into the hands of the barbarians. Today I am here to fight with you, not only for my own life and  Fame is also to prevent the ancestral temple from falling into the hands of those barbarians from the grassland! You are all raised by your parents and receive salary from the court. You should be loyal and filial and fight the Tatars to the death. Never retreat, otherwise  What will the future look like?Go and meet your ancestors!  Do you think this is correct?  " Wang Kui's subordinates were in shock, and only a few voices echoed: "Everything just follows the instructions given by Soothing.  "
