Chapter 683: Long-term Plans
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Heng, and Fang Jizhong said to everyone:
"Lord Zhou and you don't know, just after we left, there was a little eunuch who assassinated His Majesty, it was Uncle Zhou who sacrificed his life to save His Majesty and was able to get His Majesty out of danger, Uncle Zhou might as well say it directly, even if it is wrong, it doesn't matter, Your Majesty will not blame."
King Ning hurriedly looked at the old emperor, seeing that King Ning cared so much, the old emperor was still very emotional, after all, it was difficult for the emperor's family to have family affection, and his younger brother's subconscious actions explained everything.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, he has the gun you developed, so he escaped."
King Ning was relieved at this time, and looked at Zhou Heng much more indifferently.
"Zhou boy, just say it!"
Zhou Heng knew that it was pointless to hide it at this time, so he quickly sorted out his language and raised his eyes and said calmly:
"There is a garrison in the rubber plantation in Fuzhou, and Yang Weijun, the grandson of Wei Guogong, is in Fuzhou, so he can send a team of cavalry as an assistant to go there with two fast horses.
The flying team went first, joined Yang Weijun, and then went directly to Fuzhou to kill Wen Changming, the dragons without a leader in Fujian can't set off any storms, as for Yingzhou, you can persuade to surrender, the Golden Crow Sect has completely lost its power, and there is only one way to surrender if you want to survive! ”
Zhou Heng's speed of speech was not fast, and after speaking, the people around him thought about it, how far is it from the capital to Fujian, mobilize the army to go over, and the preparations cannot be completed without a month, and a large number of people are not riding horses in the past, it will take a few months, what can happen in Fujian during this period?
Supporting the army and respecting itself, it is even possible to gather the forces of Yingzhou and start to annex the Liangguang region, in this way, the imperial court is really passive, Lu Pingbei frowned, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the old emperor and said:
"What Zhongyuan Bo said is very true, now it has entered the late autumn, if the troops are transferred to Fujian now, even if the troops are transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they need to prepare, prepare the military supplies, and the people will pull over, Fujian may have been prepared for a long time, and I don't know what it can expand into during this period.
The most important thing now is that the soldiers are fast, the news of the capital, as long as we blockade it well, Fujian will not know, and it will take more than ten days to have news in the past, as long as it is fast enough, what Zhongyuan Bo said can be realized. ”
These words were still very convincing, and Wei Guogong hurriedly clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty, the grandson of the old minister, can rest assured, although he is far away in Fuzhou, he is definitely a good son who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, let alone assassinate Wen Changming, even if he dies, he can do it."
Zhou Heng knew that this kid was the only grandson of Wei Guogong, and he was a person like eyeballs, but he couldn't care so much at this time.
Southern Sichuan naturally wants to take over the power of the second prince, and the task of the son is arduous, and Fujian wants to block the invasion of Yingzhou, and killing Wen Changming is the top priority.
The dragons have no leader, and everything falls apart in an instant, just like today's capital, Wen Changjin is dead, and the people below are all messed up, so it will be cleared in just two hours.
The old emperor was moved, the situation of the Weiguo family, he knew best, the eldest daughter was his brother-in-law, who died early, his son had been in southern Sichuan for twenty years, and it didn't take long for this grandson to return to his side, it was really difficult for him.
"Aiqing, I don't know what to say, since this is the case, act according to the plan, the cavalry must select the best team, and the horses must also choose the good ones, and find them from the five military camps.
As for the flying team, I remember that the forbidden army Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang followed Zhou Heng to Datong with Cang Deying, so he was asked to be the deputy general, Miss Su cooperated to protect him, and Zhongyuan Bo went to the main general to execute? ”
Zhou Heng shuddered, who are the people standing in this thing Heart Nourishing Palace, and he still needs to do this?
Besides, what kind of work is commanding, it is a matter of controlling the overall situation, isn't it funny that a doctor goes?
Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed and saluted, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty's control of the flying ball, the minister is just talking on paper, but the minister can recommend three people, these three people have piloted the flying ball no one else, from the design to the operation specifications, the three of them participated in the research.
One is Yao Bing of Beishan, one is Xue Tai, the assistant of the minister, and the other is Pang Qi, the personal guard of the prince, if we can add General Cangzhong Lang, and with archers, we set the path, it only takes five or six days to Fujian, and we can do whatever we want. ”
The old emperor's eyes lit up, and he arrived in Fujian on the fifth or sixth day, how far away is this, he looked at Zhou Heng, pointed at him and said:
"I know you don't want to go, but it doesn't matter, you have to draw a map and prepare the corresponding supplies for these people who go, so you still need to be cautious after such a long journey!"
Zhou Heng nodded, and King Ning also looked at Zhou Heng.
"Without further ado, since Your Majesty has decided, let's set off now, make plans early, the situation in the capital is stable, General Su can command the forbidden army, as for the control of the five military camps, I hope that the Duke of Wei Guo can come forward, and the fifth brother will accompany Uncle Zhou on a trip, ready to leave at any time."
The old emperor nodded, and before he could speak, Wei Guogong had already stood up and said first:
"It's okay, it also takes time for you to prepare, as for the cavalry just mentioned, the old minister personally went to the five military camps to choose, anyway, the Cangde battalion followed, or it is easier to control his subordinates, all the horses and dry food are ready, and they will arrive in Beishan in the evening."
The old emperor knew that Wei Guogong was an impatient, but it was not easy to prepare these things for most of the day.
"I can arrive at Beishan early tomorrow morning, after all, I can't fly at night."
Zhou Heng and King Ning nodded, others didn't know that King Ning had a deep understanding.
"Although the night attack is effective, but the damage to the flying ball is great, even if you are in a hurry, it is not bad for this night, gather in Beishan early tomorrow morning, the cavalry should not be too much, two hundred people will do, and a small group will be evacuated quickly, and then the officials in control of Fujian will arrive later, and these Your Majesty will be settled."
Speaking of which, there is nothing to shirk, the mess in the capital will be handed over to these ministers, after all, it is necessary to screen whether some ministers are involved, and whether the list of the Golden Crow Sect is true or false.
The old emperor made another arrangement, Zhou Heng and King Ning left together, just went out to catch up with Wei Guogong behind, Zhou Heng knew at a glance that he was worried about his grandson, although he personally asked for his life, but he still didn't want his grandson to be in danger.
"Wei Guogong, I just said the plan directly without consulting you, I hope Wei Guogong can understand."
Wei Guogong waved his hand, lowered his voice and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare, bring everything you need to bring, especially those guns you made, if my grandson is missing a hair, be careful that I fight with you!"
Zhou Heng's face was bitter melon, and he was about to say something when he spread out his hands, but was slapped by Wei Guogong.
"Don't be stunned, national affairs are important, but grandson is also the top priority, this merit can be obtained by my grandson, and it is also your credit, but you can't be sloppy in what you should prepare, don't blame the old man for threatening you!"
After speaking, the old man strode away, looking at the action, how to see how he didn't look worried, but felt excited. The first grab
King Ning couldn't help laughing, "Don't be entangled, take this king to Beishan, I will personally select the shooters, and they must be equipped with the best, but the people of the flying team must also be carefully selected." ”
Zhou Heng didn't talk nonsense, glanced at Pang Qi who was following behind him, waved his hand to signal him to follow, and the three of them walked out of the palace quickly, the carriage had already been destroyed when Wen Changjin came in, and he had no choice but to ride a horse, and it was already half an hour later for the group to return to Beishan quickly.
Beishan is not open today, after all, it is the day of Bai Qingyun's funeral, and what should be done still has to be done, the whole mountain is plain, King Ning held the reins, and his face was puzzled.
"Who died?"
Zhou Heng sighed, "A poor girl, she is the founder of the Beishan Theater, the actors in these theaters are all trained by her, she was arrested as a person from the Golden Crow Sect before, and was murdered by the people of the Golden Crow Sect during her recuperation. ”
King Ning nodded, "The Golden Crow Sect has been cleared this time, even if there are remnants, they can't make any waves!" ”
Zhou Heng sighed, no nonsense and took King Ning up the mountain, Zhu Yunmo and they saw it from a distance and hurriedly ran over, and when they saw King Ning, they were stunned for a moment, and rushed directly to the front.
"Father, when did you return to Beijing?"
King Ning looked at his son with a smile, patted Zhu Yunmo's shoulder, and briefly said today's events, I heard that Wen Changjin was dead, and the Jinwu Sect was also cleared, a smile appeared on his face, but he paused instantly.
"Father, where is Wen Lanzhi? Is she dead too, or is she already running away? ”
King Ning shook his head, "I don't know, when Gonggong Fang went to Wen's house, there was no longer a living mouth, where are Wen Lanzhi and Zhu Xiaochang?" Whether it is life or death is not known. ”
Zhu Yunmo stopped talking, although he didn't like Zhu Xiaochang, but this was his brother's child, and he was connected to his own blood, if he really said that this person was dead, he felt a little awkward.
Zhou Heng hurriedly came over to interrupt the conversation between the two, and only after the specific count did he know, where did he have the time to say this now.
"Lord Wang, please also move to the workshop, I will let Boss Xue and Yao Blacksmith come over, select personnel here, your archers will follow over to get used to riding the flying ball, after all, this thing can't come down at any time when it goes to the sky, even if it is unraveled, you need to know how to operate."
King Ning looked at Zhou Heng and knew what he meant.
"Okay, I'll call the archers to come over, and try them all one by one, if they can't do it, they will be eliminated directly, many people have long been preparing for the flying ball, and we will choose the best of the best."
Zhu Yunmo was a little confused, but seeing that Zhou Heng was going to call someone, he hurried over, Zhou Heng told him about the plan for the future, but Zhu Yunmo was not ambiguous.
"Then the father will choose here first, I will take people to prepare supplies, the capital to Fujian is a long way, it will take seven or eight days to stop fast, and it will take about five days to fly balls, there are a lot of materials that need to be prepared, and I will make a list of missile fireball fuel, if you don't have enough, you can talk about it."
King Ning looked at his son and smiled with satisfaction, "Just prepare according to your plan." ”
Zhu Yunmo left, Zhou Heng and Ning Wang went directly to the new workshop, Boss Xue and Yao Blacksmith were waiting, after all, Pang Qi came over first to explain, and they were all very excited, this is a big deal, to participate in such an action, there is definitely light on their faces.
Looking at these three people, Zhou Heng sighed, these three are safer together, after all, Pang Qi suppresses them, Xue Lao has a good brain and knows how to judge the situation, Yao Blacksmith didn't say anything about the wind direction and the control of the flying ball, and he was more able to deal with emergencies.
"Don't talk nonsense, Pang Qi has already said the purpose, keep your mouth shut, you must cooperate well, Yang Weijun is familiar with the weather in Fuzhou and various locations, discuss with him more, in addition, you must be foolproof in this operation, one of them is missing arms and legs to come back, see if I don't kill the remaining two."
When the three of them raised their eyes, their eyes were a little moist, and Childe was worried about their safety, although he said it ruthlessly, but he really cared at this time.
"Childe, don't worry, the most elite people in the flying team are all in Beishan, we will all take the instructors with us this time, and we will definitely complete this task."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, everyone was busy, Pang Qi had already made a list on the road, discussed it with the two of them, and finally handed it over to Zhou Heng.
There are more than a dozen of them are talents from Beishan, although they are not good in physical strength, but they are very good at arithmetic, calculating the height and throwing direction, and even considering the wind direction, these are all good hands.
After reading it once, Zhou Heng handed the list to King Ning, after all, he was responsible for this matter.
King Ning just glanced at it and didn't raise any objections.
"It's up to you to decide, how many flying balls are you going to send?"
Zhou Heng didn't hesitate, "Twenty-two flying balls, twenty normal flights, two follow the cavalry, which can be regarded as temporary substitutes, as for the parts and supplies, you need to let the cavalry carry some, so that their speed is faster, and they can contact Yang Weijun when they arrive in Fuzhou first, and then converge and act together." ”
King Ning nodded, "I'll give you twenty-five of the archers, all of whom are the best of the best." ”
The next day, the sky was just dawning.
Cangde Camp has arrived outside Beishan, the flying ball is all ready, Zhou Heng is holding the flag, King Ning and Zhu Yunmo are standing behind him, waving the flag vigorously, the ropes fixed by the flying ball are all put away, and they fly quickly towards the south.
The cavalry team also set off at the same time, one man and two horses this is the highest configuration, even the carriages transported behind are the latest style, and the four horses are pulling the horses to follow at the end, and the speed is not slow at all.
Watching the flying ball disappear from view in the sky, King Ning put down the telescope in his hand.
"Okay, this is the end of the road, if the successful flight pigeon will come back as soon as possible, this king will go to Baohua Temple, come to the capital at least to meet with Master Xuyun."
Zhu Yunmo was stunned and hurriedly blocked in front of King Ning.
"What do you mean, Father? After the disposal of this place in the capital, are you leaving? ”
King Ning sighed and patted his son on the shoulder.
"Tatar has been rampant recently, if it weren't for the flying ball patrol, let them be afraid, I'm afraid they would have attacked the city a long time ago, after all, the desert is drought, most of the cattle and sheep are killed and injured, and if you want to survive the winter, it's nonsense to talk without food."
Zhu Yunmo looked at Zhou Heng, his face was full of reluctance, he hoped that Zhou Heng could help say a few words, but Zhou Heng kept his head down, and only raised his head for a while and said.
"Has the prince thought about how to control the long-term plan of the Tatar invasion?"
King Ning was stunned and shook his head slightly, after all, for a long time, whether it was the time of Wei or now, it was to prevent the Tatars from invading south, and a lot of troops and materials were invested every year, as for the long-term plan, what long-term plan could there be?
"Tell me, what's the long-term plan?"
