Chapter 156: How Dare to Disobey (First Update)
Feng Chengshi!
The person who said these words was Feng Chengshi, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and the reason why he echoed Qian Qianyi was not because he had an opinion on Zhu Mingzhong. It's because he knows that the general wants to seize Zhu Mingzhong's military power!
As a subordinate, it is a matter of course to do what you like!
Compared with Qian Qianyi, Feng Chengshi directly deducted the righteousness to Zhu Mingzhong.
Don't you pride yourself on being loyal?
Now you have to see how faithful you are!
Well, you sang this double reed!
Almost as soon as the voices of Qian Qianyi and Feng Chengshi fell, their words made Zhu Mingzhong's heart jump suddenly, and a wave of blood quickly rushed to his brain.
This old thing is really deceiving!
Scolding Qian Qianyi in his heart, he stared at Feng Chengshi, no matter what, Zhu Mingzhong didn't expect that he would use the so-called righteousness to suppress himself!
"Good!"
A word suddenly burst out, and Zhu Mingzhong said word by word.
"As long as it's for my Ming, don't say it's pumping my loyal army, even if the last general presents this head, what's the matter."
This will Zhu Mingzhong was really angry, he didn't expect that his hard work would end up in this step, let alone that the bird would hide so early and so quickly.
"Zhu Junmen said with a smile, this official is also loving, if the military gate is unwilling, your loyal and righteous army is not in tune......"
Qian Qianyi's face still had a peaceful smile, and he looked like he was just suggesting. But when he spoke, he deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "your loyal army", between the words, it is you Zhu Mingzhong who takes the army as his own self, although everyone is a private soldier, but on the surface, this army is still the army of the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhu Junmen, although the Loyal and Righteous Army is your one-handed training, don't forget, you are taking the Ming Dynasty's Yulu, and the brothers in the army are eating the Ming Dynasty's military salary, this Eastern Crusade is related to the Ming Dynasty's grand plan, how can you ignore the abandonment of the country if you want to come to the military gate?"
High hats were put on their heads, which would be on top of this so-called "court", Zhu Mingzhong only felt a knot, who could help?
"Good, good ......"
Nodding heavily, Zhu Mingzhong stared at Qian Qianyi and smiled.
"Qian Zongbo is really ......"
"Chengren, put national affairs first!"
Seeing that Zhu Mingzhong was annoyed, Zhang Huangyan hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him. Being reminded by him like this, Zhu Mingzhong, who originally wanted to scold him Qian Qianyi, immediately realized that he was alone here, but he still said sarcastically.
"Sure enough, it is loyal to the country! Since Qian Zongbo is like this, how can the last general oppose it! ”
After that, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the people in this hall again, for the first time, he was deeply disappointed in these people, they may have meritorious service to the country, or they may not have been cleared, but people are always selfish!
Zhu Mingzhong, who had thought about it and figured everything out, suddenly laughed and said.
"Either to fight for Zhejiang and Fujian, or to conquer Jiangxi, have you ever thought of Jiangbei?"
Gathering his smile, Zhu Mingzhong raised his head and looked directly at Zheng Chenggong and asked.
"Can the general know that the Qing prisoner's appointed minister Da Su is the general of Annan, and the 100,000 Qing prisoners under the command of Gushan Ezhen Suohong and the commander of the escort army Lai Da are going south along the Grand Canal, and Shunzhi Xiao'er is more interested in pro-conquest, and is gathering tens of thousands of eighteen banners in Nanyuan, intending to do pro-conquest, and what you see, only Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jiangbei do not guard, how can Nanjing be defended?"
Ignoring the unhappiness on Zheng Chenggong's face, Zhu Mingzhong continued.
"If you could defend Jiangbei back then, why did Nanjing fall into the hands of the enemy? Zhejiang can consolidate the rear, Jiangxi can get soldiers, but if there is no Jiangbei, the Qing Dynasty can naturally drive straight in, defend the river must guard the Huai, Huaizhi does not guard, how can Nanjing be defended? If this is the case, then what is the difference between today's situation and the Hongguang Dynasty back then! ”
Zhu Mingzhong's rhetorical question only made everyone's faces change, and people like Qian Qianyi turned pale in an instant, as for Zhang Huangyan, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and all the generals of Zheng Jun frowned, and finally everyone turned their eyes to Zheng Chenggong, only to see that his face looked extremely embarrassed.
Again!
Staring at Zhu Mingzhong, Zheng Chenggong would be really angry, just because he compared today's situation with the Hongguang Dynasty fourteen years ago, which is equivalent to directly saying that he is short-sighted, not to mention him, he is basically talking about everyone.
"Bastard thing, dare to speak in front of the general......"
Sensing the unhappiness on the general's face, Shi Lang immediately reprimanded.
"What's the matter if Nadasu leads 100,000 troops? As long as I wait for the sailor to be there, he can still cross the Yangtze River? ”
Whether it is self-confidence or refutation, for the generals of the Zheng army, who are good at water warfare, they believe that the Yangtze River moat can block all enemies, and this river is several miles wide, which is enough for them to destroy all invading enemies on the river, and this self-confidence is accumulated by decades of water warfare.
Of course, the more important point is that in their opinion, the Qing army does not understand water warfare at all, even those green battalion soldiers are mainly northerners, and since ancient times, they thought that northerners were not good at water, so even if they went south, what did it matter?
"Sailor? How can the sailor guard the Yangtze River day and night? With the length of the Yangtze River, how can the sailors fortify everywhere? If Dasu lures the enemy in several places, how will General Shi prevent Dasu's main force from crossing the river at that time? If they can't stop them from crossing the river, what will happen when their troops come to the city? ”
"Nanjing City has high walls, how can it be light?"
"Light...... Hmph, how did this Nanjing recover? ”
With a sneer, Zhu Mingzhong turned his gaze to Zheng Chenggong, although he knew that Zheng Chenggong would definitely be annoyed by his words, but now he had no other choice.
Nanjing, this place of right and wrong must be left, if you don't leave, this loyal army will not know when they will come up and bite again, in this troubled world, without the army, there is no foothold.
If you are presumptuous, then you should be presumptuous to the end.
"Good...... Then tell me Zhu Mingzhong, what should I do now? ”
Leaning forward slightly, Zheng Chenggong's voice was cold, he could feel Zhu Mingzhong's dissatisfaction, and naturally regarded his words as complaints, so his tone was naturally no better.
"General,"
Zhu Mingzhong, who knew that there was no way out, faced Zheng Chenggong's dissatisfaction on his face, but replied seriously.
"From the point of view of the last general, it is now necessary to carry out the northern expedition and take the attack as the defense, so as to stabilize the rear and shake the world!"
"Good! Good ......"
Shouting hello one after another, Zheng Chenggong sneered.
"A good Northern Expedition, a good one to attack and defend, Chengren, since you have this heart, how about letting you do this Northern Expedition first?"
His heart beat suddenly, and Zhu Mingzhong, who saw that his goal had been achieved, immediately clenched his fists and said.
"The general has an order, and the last general dares to disobey!"
"General, this must not be done!"
