The Hidden Garden!

At least in Yangzhou City, in recent times, the people have spread this sentence in their mouths, the Hidden Garden is a local garden in Yangzhou, but it is delicate...... But they were all robbed!

The person who robbed the people's daughter was the prince of the world, as for what the prince did in the garden?

It's not known to the outside world, anyway, it's just spending all day and drinking, and it's extremely absurd.

Spend all day drinking, and be extremely debaucherous.

And in the big palace not far from the Hidden Garden, every day is lively and extraordinary, and the command resounded in the sky. In Yangzhou, only a few people know that in fact, there is no prince in the hidden garden where the wine is spent all day, and there is no main force of the army in the camp that exercises all day.

Since the prince led the troops to leave Yangzhou, Chen Wudi has been training the troops in the big camp, thinking about making some movements all day long to hide people's eyes. The outside world didn't know that the prince of the "flower and wine" had already brought the elite of the army to Liaodong, and there were only more than 10,000 "old, weak, sick and disabled" left in the seemingly hot camp.

However, despite this, Chen Wudi did not relax his training, but integrated the remaining men and horses while strengthening his training - more than 4,000 people were strong, but they had not undergone rigorous training, as for the other more than 8,000 veterans...... Actually, they are all veterans.

After a lot of thought, he organized 4,000 strong people into a fully armored tiger battalion, and as for the 8,000 veteran soldiers, he also organized them into two battalions of infantry, Huwei, and Huxiao, mainly using muskets, artillery, and other long-range weapons. Since you can't point to these soldiers to fight a tough battle, at least you can use them to use long-range weapons to support the scene.

Just when Chen Wudi was training his troops, the news that the soldiers from the east were crossing the river and coming to Nanjing came over, of course, there was also a letter of help from Nanjing, so that the prince sent troops to help Nanjing, if the prince was there, it would be fine, but the problem was that the prince was in Liaodong!

Now what?

Do you want to disobey orders?

But if you disobey the order, will it affect the prince? After discussing for a whole day, the few people who stayed in Yangzhou did not come up with a reason.

How can such a small number of people gallop to help Nanjing.

What to do?

The prince is not here, how can I explain it to them?

Tell them that the prince went to Liaodong?

Just when Chen Wudi was at a loss, a letter asking for help from Nanjing came again, and the letter was neither sent by the Sixth Department of Nanjing, nor by the garrison ministers, but from the people of Nanjing.

In the letter, he only cried a few words of blood - asking the son of virtue to read more than 2 million living beings in Nanjing and save the people of Nanjing from fire and water!

After receiving the letter asking for help, Chen Wudi didn't say anything for a long time, and in the past period of time, he had been talking about poetry and painting with local officials and scholars in Yangzhou to cover up the fact that the prince was not in Yangzhou.

"General Chen, in fact, as far as the prince is concerned, there is no harm in the fall of Nanjing!"

Holding the teacup, Ge Shizhen casually stated the reason for his objection.

"On the one hand, it is to stay in the capital, on the other hand, it is to break the capital, it turns out that if there is no matter of staying in the capital, the prince will need a few years to save his name and hope, so as to make the world return to his heart, but now there is a trap in the capital, the world is shaken, and the prince can break the prestige of Shenyang and go to the next level......"

People always change, half a year ago, Ge Shizhen would never have imagined that he would say such a rebellious thing, but now, in his opinion, the prince of the world is going further, why not, not only is he so, but Lu Yuxiao is also the same.

People will always change, and they will always make some choices because of the changes in the current situation, and they are no exception. Of course, they don't just have this shift because of their own interests. What's more, they believe that the only one who can turn the tide is the lord, only the prince!

"What you said is very true, besides, there are only more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled under General Chen's command, even if he rushes to help Nanjing, what will be the result? Moreover, Yangzhou is more related to the great cause of the prince, please General Chen think twice. ”

For the prince, Yangzhou is indeed very important, and they have fully understood that there is too much wealth hidden here in Yangzhou.

As long as it is operated properly, the salt tax in Yangzhou alone is enough to support the great cause of the prince in the future. It's just that now the salt profits are controlled by the salt merchants. But this is not a problem, as long as you are ruthless and decisive, there is nothing you can't get.

So in their opinion, Yangzhou can't be lost no matter what, and there is a possibility of a break between the prince and the court at any time.

Yangzhou in hand can at least let the imperial court throw a rat trap. And the prince also needs more than 10,000 horses!

"Is it a trigger that moves the whole body, if we lose Yangzhou, and there are more than 10,000 people missing? In the future, when we have a showdown with the imperial court, maybe we will lose the upper hand. has affected the great cause of the prince. ”

In the face of their persuasion, Chen Wudi, who was holding the letter in his hand, was silent for a long time before looking at them and saying.

"I, Chen Wudi, am a rough person, I don't know what the truth is that affects the whole body, but in the past two days, I have been thinking, if I change to the prince of the world, what will the master do?"

After asking rhetorically, Chen Wudi glanced at the letter again, and then said.

"When the city of Jinan fell, many people wanted to sacrifice the city and want to live, only the prince was willing to defend Jinan, even if he died, he would not live up to the emperor and the people. What will happen if you receive a letter for help? Watching people be slaughtered? Sitting back and watching the filial piety tomb as a slave attack? I think the prince will never sit idly by, Chen Wudi was ordered by the prince to lead the troops here, today Nanjing for help letter to, Nanjing is where the Ming Dynasty stays, if the prince is here, he will definitely let me rescue Nanjing! ”

"General Chen Gao Yi, it's just that there are only more than 10,000 remnants in the camp now, how can he save Nanjing, going to Nanjing is just sending him to death!"

Facing Ge Shizhen's reminder, Chen Wushu said.

"Chen is a Ming military household, the world is favored by the country, death is death, the former served the Ming Dynasty and my Chen family's grace, and then served the prince and my acquaintance, today I Chen someone is going to die!"

Staring at everyone in the hall, Chen Wudi stood up and said.

"Nanjing can't be surrendered! Nanjing must be saved, as soldiers, although a hundred deaths to repay the Ming Dynasty and the world, you don't need to persuade me again! ”

For a while, everyone in the hall was speechless, and everyone looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression. After a long time, Ge Shizhen stood up and said.

"General Gao Yi, it's really embarrassing for me to wait!"

Indeed, all their starting points are for the so-called great cause.

But what about the people?

What about conscience?

"A few words!"

Standing up, Chen Wudi squeezed out a smile and said.

"After I go to Nanjing, the matter of Yangzhou will be entrusted to you!"

After saying that, Chen Wudi set his eyes on the generals of the battalions, and when Hu Shoujin and the others saw this, they immediately clenched their fists and said.

"I am willing to die for the country with the military gate!"

After silently waving his hands and returning the salute, Chen Wudi walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

The drums of the assembly sounded in the army, and the officers and men who were training lined up on the school ground, but after only a few minutes of hustle and bustle, more than 10,000 troops completed the assembly.

Chen ignored, who was wearing armor and walking straight to the school platform, and looked at the officers and soldiers in the school field, and after a moment of silence, he shouted loudly.

"Brothers, I think everyone already knows that the Jiannu soldiers are coming to the city of Nanjing, intending to break my Ming Dynasty and stay in the capital, and the princes and people of the capital will ask for help from me, although the main force in the camp will follow the Shizi's Northern Expedition to Jiannu's lair, and there are only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers left in the palace, but as soldiers, we must have the heart to be loyal to national affairs! Today, Hu is going to lead the troops to help Nanjing, and he can tell everyone clearly that he is going...... Surely death! But Nanjing does not fall! ”

The cold wind sent these four words to the ears of everyone present, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it.

The school field in the cold wind was very cold, looking around at the officers and soldiers in the field, the atmosphere of the school field at this time seemed a little depressing, and all kinds of expressions flashed on everyone's faces, some were afraid, some were afraid, some were panicked, and of course, there were also resoluteness. Chen Wushu looked at one of the people in the formation again, and then shouted.

"Chen Sen! Dequeue. ”

"Yes!"

With his shout, a young sentinel stepped out of the ranks.

"Tell everyone who you are!"

"Chen Sen, the eighth sentry officer of the Xiaguan Tiger Roaring Battalion!"

The young sentinel replied loudly.

"Who are you!"

"Xiaguan ......"

"Who are you!"

The military gate questioned everyone dumbfounded, what is going on? Even Chen Sen was stunned for a moment.

"I, Chen Sen, am the eighth sentinel officer of the three general sentry officers of the Tiger Roaring Battalion of the Ming Dynasty, and my father, Chen Wudi, the general of the Dewang Mansion, is invincible......"

The audience was in an uproar, they were the two of them. In fact, when the prince was born in the palace guard, there were not a few fathers and sons like this in the army, after all, many of them were sons and fathers.

But today, when Chen Wushu was about to call out his son, good guys, they were still stunned, they didn't understand why the military gate did this.

"Listen up, brethren!"

Glancing at his son, Chen Wushu said with a straight face.

"This battle will definitely die, although Chen Sen is my only son, but he is also a Ming soldier, now I transfer him to the Tiger Roar Battalion, when he is about to fight, if he retreats, the brothers in the formation kill him is the military law, the military law team is behind me, if I retreat, kill me, avenge the soldiers! That's right, today, I, Chen, just want my son to die with me! But I don't know if the brothers are willing to join us in serving the kingdom! ”

When the words fell, the audience was silent, and no one spoke. How could they not know that they were always in the front, and if they were to die, they would definitely die at the front. The officers and men looked at the chief soldiers on the school platform, and they looked at each other again, and after a moment of silence, suddenly, thunderous cheers rang out on the school grounds.

"I'm willing to die with the army!"

"I'm willing to die with the army!"

……

In the earth-shattering sound of "going to death", Chen Sen, who was standing in front of the team, looked up at his father, and he saw that his father was also looking at him, and the two fathers and sons looked at each other like this.
