Chapter 178: For the World
(Thank you for the reward of 100 yuan from heaven and earth x snow)
"Didi... Tick drip..."
On the official road to Nanchang, a black horse that is always available at the post station is galloping rapidly, and the person on its back is still whipping the horse's buttocks at any cost.
"Eight hundred miles in a hurry, everyone retreats..."
And when he saw that man on horseback saw someone, he cried out with a loud voice, so that the people of the road would get out of the way.
Nanchang is also known as Nanchang Mansion, named in the Ming Dynasty, and was called Hongcheng or Hongdu in ancient times. The famous Tengwang Pavilion is located in Nanchang.
At this time, Fu Heng, who rushed from Hangzhou to the yamen of Nanchang prefect, did not have a trace of mood to take a look at any scenic spot in Nanchang.
"What? Wuchang City fell? ”
In the office study room of the inner courtyard of the prefect's yamen, Fu Heng held the military information letter in his hand, and asked the messenger who was kneeling on the ground with a stunned face.
"Yes, General." The messenger hurriedly bowed his head and replied.
"So what happened to Governor Minrui and the many officials and generals in Wuchang City?" Before Fu Heng had time to look at the military intelligence letter, he asked eagerly at the messenger who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.
"This, I don't know, little one." The messenger replied very simply, but buried his head even lower.
"That's right..."Fu Heng seemed to understand all of a sudden, and didn't look at the messenger on the ground anymore, muttering to himself.
I saw Fu Heng tear open the envelope sealed by the fire seal, picked up the paper inside and looked at it. The frown loosened slightly, then furrowed again.
"Min Swe has been martyred, which is better than being caught by a thief and surrendering. But the letter says that there are Manchurians who have surrendered to the thieves? Fu Heng expressed his incomprehension while reading the contents of the letter.
"But judging from the urine of many Manchu children in the capital, it is not allowed. It seems that in the future, we will have to guard against the full people who come in from outside. Fu Heng thought.
"General Shang has anything else to say for you to bring here?" Fu Heng looked at the messenger who was almost kneeling on the ground and asked.
"Back to the general, General Shang sent me out this time to ask the general to send troops as soon as possible, otherwise not only Wuchang, but Jingzhou would also be in danger. I am afraid that the whole of Hubei will not be able to protect it. The messenger didn't dare to breathe, but there was some worry in his tone.
Since ancient times, good news has not been reported, and this one reported by himself is not good news, if he makes the above one unhappy, he will beat himself up and make no sense.
"Does General Shang really think so? Are these thieves really so powerful? Fu Heng asked in disbelief.
After all, he is still a garrison general, and it means that he has been forced to the point of helplessness to say this.
"Yes, General. The small ones will never dare to have a trace of nonsense. The messenger said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
"Got it, you've worked hard all the way, let's go down and get the reward first!" Fu Heng waved his hand at the messenger and said.
"Hey, thank you, little one, General."
I saw that the messenger kowtowed to Fu Hengsan and slowly took a few steps back before turning to leave.
Fu Heng held the military intelligence letter in his hand and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
Due to Fu Heng's arrival, the senior guards of the entire Jiangxi gathered in this Nanchang to wait for orders.
At this time, the generals who were rumored to have arrived at the prefect's yamen to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the anti-thieves also arrived at this hall one after another, waiting for Fu Heng's arrival.
"General." Su Yunting saw Fu Heng coming out of the door, and stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Su..."Fu Heng looked at Su Yunting and said without saying anything.
"Is there anything the general needs the students to do?" Su Yunting looked at Fu Heng's appearance and couldn't help but ask, even if he knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask.
"Sure enough, I can't fool Mr. But there is no need to lie, I believe everyone will know soon. Fu Heng suddenly smiled helplessly.
For this weak scholar who gritted his teeth all the way and followed him all the way, Fu Heng's heart was still full of emotion. Even if it is in their ancestral teachings, the Han people can only be slaves and objects of use, and they must not be trusted.
"Wuchang was lost, and now Jingzhou is besieged. I'm afraid the whole of Hubei is in danger. ”
"What? This thief is so fast. It's unbelievable, am my Qing soldiers so unbearable? After Su Yunting heard Fu Heng's words, the shock in his heart was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Do you know how long Jingzhou can hold on?" Su Yunting asked with some uneasiness.
"It's not clear yet, but judging from the news from Shang Shanxi, the situation is not optimistic. Our side needs to send troops to support them as quickly as possible. But..."Fu Heng said this, showing a difficult look again.
"It's hard to save the fire from far away, and it's no wonder that the general is embarrassed. And to relieve the siege of Jingzhou, you have to take Wuchang City. This is also a conundrum. Su Yunting spoke for Fu Heng.
"That's true, if he Shang Shanxi's absence in Jingzhou City, it would be better. Now there is a Huguang governor dead, and another garrison general has died. It is estimated that the court will have to fight a war of words again. Fu Heng had a headache when he thought of the guys in the court who were well-fed and had nothing to do.
Regarding Fu Heng's words, Su Yunting was not easy to answer. After all, there are some things that Fu Heng said, and he, Su Yunting, still has to evaluate his identity.
"General, judging from the military situation these days, it is estimated that the siege of Jingzhou will be difficult for us to solve for a while. This gang of anti-thieves started in Liangguang, and now Guangxi is still in the hands of our people, so Guangdong must be the center of gravity of anti-thieves. ”
Su Yunting paused here to see if Fu Heng had the willingness to listen to him continue. I saw that Fu Heng gave him a look to continue talking.
Seeing this, Su Yunting hurriedly said:
"It's better for us to drag this gang of anti-thieves in Hubei with the men and horses of Jiangxi, and then directly order the men and horses of Guangxi and Fujian to go directly to the land of Guangdong, and come to kill the Quartet, so as to disturb the morale of the anti-thieves. So as to disrupt the actions of the rebels in order to destroy them? ”
"Wonderful, Mr. Su's plan is very good." After listening to Su Yunting's plan, Fu Heng admired it again and again after thinking about it in his heart.
"Let's go on a massacre and let this damn rebellious Nikan understand what it will be like to dare to rebel against the court. After so many years, they probably forgot that the court left them with their grace, and they dared to rebel against the court if they didn't live well. Fu Heng said viciously.
At this moment, Fu Heng was thinking that as long as this rebellion could be quelled, it would be impossible to slaughter the entire Guangdong.
Didn't we just rely on slaughtering one city after another to pacify the entire south, how many years has it been? It has to be like this, the Han people in the south are cheap bones, and they have to do this to make them submit.
When Su Yunting heard Fu Heng say this, he was inevitably a little sentimental in his heart, but he kept comforting himself that he was doing this for the sake of the world.
