Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Warriors of the Nation

East Sichuan, Fengjie.

For a few days, Wen Anzhi has not thought about tea and dinner.

The Chongqing fiasco left him with grief.

Seeing that he was about to take Chongqing, Tan Yi turned against Tan Wen and killed Tan Wen, and then led his troops into Yuan Zongdi's camp.

The unsuspecting Yasukuni Duke Yuan Zong bombed the camp at the first time, and he had no choice but to retreat under the chaos.

What's even more sad is that Tan Hong, who came belatedly, did not come to reinforce, but came to intercept and kill a group of Ming troops.

The soldiers escaped after a battle to the death, and many of them died on the riverside, and they didn't even have a corpse left.

They died unjustly, and they didn't look blind to death!

What can't make Wen Anzhi accept more than the defeat of the war is the betrayal of Tan Hong and Tan Yi. These so-called descendants of the Ming army are not as loyal as the rest of the original Dashun army.

Wen Anzhi wanted to attack Chongqing at this point in time, in order to distract the attention of the Qing army and relieve the pressure on the Yunnan side.

Chongqing is a key point on land and water, and its geographical location is very critical. As long as Chongqing is in trouble, the Qing army will definitely come to the rescue.

Who would have thought that there would be such a thing as a defection?

"Inspector, the court has come to make a will."

When Wen Anzhi lamented, the family respectfully reported on the side.

"The court has come to decree?"

Wen Anzhi was greatly surprised, and hurriedly ordered the family to invite the envoy in.

Although he was wearing a regular robe, he still subconsciously straightened his robe.

The one who came to deliver the decree was a very young little eunuch, and Wen Anzhi naturally had never seen it.

Because the incident was too sudden, Wen Anzhi didn't have time to order someone to line the incense case, so he could only kneel down in the direction where the royal driver was located.

"The prince of the minister, the Taibao, and the secretary of the second department of the soldiers, and the governor of Sichuan and Lake military affairs Wen'an welcome the holy decree."

Seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has specially instructed that Master Wen is old, so you don't need to kneel to receive the order." ”

Wen Anzhi shook his head again and again. Although he is over 70 years old, he values etiquette more than anything else.

Seeing Wen Anzhi's insistence, the little eunuch had to clear his throat and began to deliver the decree.

It seems that the imperial court already knows the news of the fiasco in the Battle of Chongqing, Wen An said in his heart.

This will should have been specifically reprimanded by His Majesty, right?

As a courtier, he failed to share the worries of the king, Wen Anzhi naturally has nothing to say. is a demotion, and Wen Anzhi will not have the slightest complaint.

But what surprised him was that the holy decree did not mention the battle of Chongqing, but focused on the defense of Kunming.

Moreover, under the leadership of the Son of Heaven and the King of Jin, the Ming army, which was united, won a great victory in the defense of Kunming and beheaded countless Qing troops!

Wen An's beard trembled with excitement.

How long has it been since the imperial court fought such a uplifting battle?

I'm afraid that the hearts of the soldiers are cold after losing all the way, right?

This victory is really crucial to boosting the morale of the Ming generals!

When he heard that Zhao Butai, the general of the Qing army, was killed by a life bombing, Wen Anzhi sighed and said God bless Daming!

Judging from the results, the imperial court was saved.

Wen Anzhi organized the Thirteen Commanders to besiege Chongqing at this point in time, which was a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao, and wanted to relieve the siege of the Kunming court.

Since the imperial court was unharmed, the defeat in the Battle of Chongqing was barely acceptable.

Wen Anzhi heard it himself, and the little eunuch who passed the decree talked about the prince's coming to eastern Sichuan to raise the army, and the decision to order Wen Anzhi to return to the Kunming court to listen to the investigation.

Wen Anzhi almost thought that he had misheard, and confirmed it again and again with the envoy.

After receiving an accurate answer, Wen Anzhi's mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, he was delighted. The great tomorrow still has a responsibility.

The crown prince is the prince of the country and the capital of the country.

The crown prince Fujun can represent the attitude of the imperial court.

At first, when Wen Anzhi first came to eastern Sichuan, he was not respected by the Thirteen Lords as much as he is now, and in the final analysis, the imperial court did not pay much attention to the remnants of these former Dashun troops.

In addition to the knighthood, the imperial court did not provide any substantial financial support to Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng and others.

In this case, the Thirteen Lords can still serve the Yongli Imperial Court as the right one, and it is not easy to do things for the imperial court.

It took a long time for Wen Anzhi to change the Thirteen Lords' views of the imperial court and dispel their concerns about the imperial court.

Wen Anzhi even took the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven for an order, asking the Son of Heaven to promise the Thirteen Lords in the name of the imperial court that they would not be held accountable for their past "rebellious crimes".

The human heart is made of flesh. After getting along for a long time, Thirteen Xun found that Wen Anzhi, an "old guy" who was willing to share weal and woe with the soldiers on the front line, was quite good, and gradually changed his opinion of the imperial court.

But Wen Anzhi is just an overseer after all, he can make the Thirteen Xun feel at ease, but he can't completely reassure them.

After all, no one knows whether the words of the court count, what if in the future, when the Ming Dynasty recovers the mountains and rivers, the Son of Heaven will turn his face and deny the account, and will liquidate them?

The feeling is like a sword hanging overhead, and although it has not fallen, the fear of falling at any time is suffocating.

His Majesty seems to have finally figured it out and decided to let the prince come to Fengjie to appease the heart of the Thirteen Lords.

I have to say that His Majesty's move is very clever.

No high-ranking official or clan can have the effect of raising the army of today's prince. This represents the absolute trust of the imperial court in the Thirteen Lords, otherwise how could the country be sent to the front line?

In this regard, Wen Anzhi was naturally pleased, his efforts were not in vain, and the imperial court was still ambitious.

But on the other hand, he felt a little worried.

After all, Fengjie is on the front line in eastern Sichuan, and it is not far from Chongqing.

At present, the Qing army has no plan to attack Fengjie, but what if there is one in the future?

God knows what Hong Chengchou, the old fox, thinks in his heart.

The prince is a daughter, in case there is a mistake, how to explain to the military and civilians in the world?

Of course, Wen Anzhi understands that the prince is still at the age of young Chong, and coming to Fengjie is more of an inspirational symbol.

But this feeling of uneasiness is still buried deep in the bottom of his heart, after all, Wen Anzhi knows very well that this area is not very stable after staying in Fengjie all these years.

As for His Majesty ordering him to go back to Kunming to listen to the investigation, Wen Anzhi naturally would not have any opinions.

Wen Anzhi was a jinshi during the Apocalypse, at the beginning of Nanjing, and was promoted to sacrificial wine during the Chongzhen period. Later, he was framed by traitors and dismissed and returned to his hometown.

During the period of Emperor Longwu, Wen Anzhi was recruited as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but Wen Anzhi did not go to the post on the grounds of physical discomfort.

When Emperor Yongli had just succeeded to the throne, he was recommended by Qu Shiyun to recruit Wen Anzhi as a scholar of Dongge University, but Wen Anzhi also declined.

But when the city of Guilin was broken and the imperial court was in danger, Wen Anzhi stood up without hesitation.

He is not a person who cherishes feathers, and the reason why he did not go to the post before was because he felt that he was beyond his strength, and left the opportunity to the young people.

But at the critical juncture of life and death for his family and country, Wen Anzhi felt that he had to do something to be worthy of his heart.

He was absolutely obedient to the orders of the imperial court. He believed that His Majesty's transfer of him back to Kunming must have been fully considered. He just needs to do what he can and do his best for ZTE Daming.
