Volume 4 Chapter 108 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Why is Yang Cong so active, insisting on immediately investigating along the line from Jinling to Yuyao, is he really worried that the Japanese will rush to Jinling desperately?
He was worried about a fart, it was indeed possible for a clipper to travel five or six hundred miles a day, but it had to be a steamer, because Yuyao to Jinling was going against the current, and the sailboats might not be able to move.
At this time, the steamers he built were all in the hands of Qi Jingtong, the chief soldier of the naval division, and it was impossible for him to have a steamer.
Besides, as long as he ordered Qi Jingtong to take the river, the Japanese would not want to rush to Jinling by waterway, and if they took the land route, it would take at least three or four days for five or six hundred miles, and when they rushed over, Jiajing would have returned to Beijing early.
In other words, the Japanese did not threaten Jiajing at all, and he volunteered to investigate, definitely not to ensure Jiajing's safety.
Jiajing agreed to let him go, and he seemed a little scared again.
He thought about it, and then pretended to be frightened and said: "Your Majesty, the southeastern elites are all stationed in Hetao, and Wechen can't gather many people for a while, and he also asks the emperor to send a group of Jinyi Guard masters to go with Wechen to investigate." ”
There doesn't seem to be a problem with this, the southeast elite have gone to Hetao, and where did Yang Cong go to gather people for a while, and this place is located outside Jinling City, and there are guards everywhere, unless the Japanese come from the direction of Yuyao by water, there is no need to worry about other directions, and it is nothing to transfer some people.
Jiajing thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, how many people do you need?" ”
Yang Cong estimated it, and then said carefully: "You don't need too many people, it's enough to have a hundred people, after all, there are many guards in Nanzhili, as long as you find traces of the Japanese invaders, you can transfer them to the past to encircle and suppress, but at this time, Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou are in the northwest, Liu Xian and Lu Bo are in Annan again, and there are no suitable generals in Nanzhili, Weichen wants to take civilization with him, I don't know if it's possible?" ”
Lu Bing?
Is this kid also a general?
To be honest, Jiajing hasn't seen that Lu Bing has the talent to lead troops in battle, and there are a few good generals in the forbidden army he brought, but Yang Cong doesn't seem to know.
Lu Bing, just Lu Bing, let this kid exercise it.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let Wenming bring a hundred people with you." ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and the plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain was done!
Your Majesty, this time, I'm afraid you're going to die!
Of course, even if he killed him, he wouldn't say it, he pretended to be resentful, glanced at Yan Song, and then arched his hand: "Weichen retires." ”
With that, he withdrew with a lonely face.
Like that, as if to say, Yan Song, you cheated me again, this time, I was miserable by you.
Yan Song still stood there like a sculpture, without blinking his eyes.
However, his heart was already happy.
This time, although it was a bit excessive, even the families of Xie and Zhao Wenhua were involved, but the effect was surprisingly good.
Jiajing already distrusts Yang Cong a little, at least, Jiajing doesn't trust Yang Cong very much in the matter of encircling and suppressing the Japanese invaders, Yang Cong doesn't think about the position of the governor of the southeast, once his people become the governor of the southeast, this richest place in the Ming Dynasty will be in his pocket, and the countless gentry here and the profits of the sea business are enough for him to make money!
Also, this time the Japanese sent are all masters among the masters, although there are not many people, the combat power is quite terrifying, Yang Cong took Lu Bing and a hundred brocade guards to investigate, that is to find death!
This is also the reason why he didn't say anything to stop Yang Cong from going to investigate, because he wasn't worried about what Yang Cong would be able to find out at all.
If Yang Cong hadn't met those wouldn't have met those wouldn't have met them, if he did, he would have died, along with Lu Bing!
This pair of Uncle Lang is the most difficult enemy to deal with, and it is just right to die!
Anyway, Lu Bing is also inexplicable at this time, why did he suddenly let him take someone to Yuyao with Yang Cong?
Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to go, he's just curious.
It's a pity that Yang Cong walked out of the camp all the way with a straight face, didn't speak, as if he was so angry that he couldn't do it, until he came to the outside of the camp and rode on a war horse, he didn't say anything, he just beat the horse all the way to Jinling Wharf, and Lu Bing could only follow with someone in a muffled voice.
At this time, the Jinling Wharf is also heavily guarded, and the Southern Capital Military Department has already transferred thousands of guards, and the water surrounding this place is impassable, and near the wharf, except for the warships of the Daming Water Division, there is not a single fishing boat or merchant ship in sight.
Yang Cong took Lu Bing to get on a Cangshan ship converted into a steamer, and asked Lu Bing to arrange for others to get on the other two, then waved his hand, signaled the steamer to go down the river, and went straight to the direction of Songjiang Mansion, until the ship came out of the dock, he sighed, and said to Lu Bing lightly: "What's the matter, civilization, why are you holding back your face, constipation?" ”
Damn, are you still embarrassed to talk about me?
Lu Bing said angrily: "I'm nothing, it's just that you have been like an angry little daughter-in-law all the way, with a straight face and no words, so I don't know how to speak." What's wrong with you, have you been yin by Yan Song again? ”
Yang Cong nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, Yan Song, this traitor, is really powerful, he actually chose to let the Japanese invaders make trouble at this time, and the emperor thought that I was ineffective in suppressing the Japanese and lied about the military situation." ”
Yes!
When Lu Bing heard this, he couldn't help but look at the warships following on both sides, and then said in surprise: "What do you mean, we are going to suppress the Japanese invaders?" Is it enough for such a small number of people? ”
But he heard that there were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates at every turn, and even the county town could be captured, so he took these hundreds of people with him, and he was really a little panicked.
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you afraid of, I can still take you to death, you can rest assured, people, I have it, I just take you out to see the world, and by the way, I just make some meritorious deeds." ”
Some are people?
Really?
Lu Bing is not blind to what is going on outside the window, but he knows that the 40,000 elite guards in the southeast have been transferred to Hetao, where are the people from Nanzhili at this time?
Yang Cong didn't talk to him at all, the so-called too much will be lost, he didn't want Lu Bing to react that this was his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
It just so happened that it was not early at this time, he chatted with Lu Bing casually for a while, then excused himself to be tired, and went to sleep, Lu Bing couldn't, and could only sleep reluctantly with full of questions.
The speed of this ship is not a joke, all the way downstream, it is like a galloping horse, the next morning, the group rushed to the Zhenhai Weijun Port near Chongming, Qi Jingtong led by the main force of the Daming Navy Division is stationed here at this time.
This guy, Lu Bing finally understood why Yang Cong said that there were people and horses, on the river, the warships were so dense that they couldn't be counted, he really didn't expect that there were so many warships in the Daming Navy.
There are not only a few zhang long Cangshan boats, but also more than ten zhang long Dafu boats, one by one warships, neatly arranged, just like the soldiers waiting for the review, that posture, not to mention how spectacular.
This Cangshan ship can carry more than 30 people, and there are more than 10 guns on it, and it is not a problem for the Daifuku ship to carry hundreds of people, and the guns on it are probably at least dozens, and there are more than ten Daifuku ships in his eyes.
In other words, at least tens of thousands of horses and horses have gathered here, and there are no less than 1,000 artillery pieces!
No wonder Yang Cong said that there are people and horses, just looking at the camp of the sailors, I am afraid that even if there are 100,000 people, they will be beaten to pieces.
