Chapter Twenty-Six

Wang Siming said goodbye and left, but Zhang Juzheng slapped his forehead and remembered the most important thing at the moment, the Tartars committed the border, and the border was tight!

"Well, who will be sent to preside over the war?" Zhang Juzheng was worried about this matter. In the past, whenever there was a war, Shen Chongming was always the one at the forefront, and at that time, he didn't have anything to do, so naturally he didn't have to care too much.

But now that the emperor has asked all the major affairs of the court to be decided by himself, then this matter is also his own business.

The stakes are high, this is not just a simple military victory or defeat, but also a comparison between himself and Shen Chongming from the military aspect. If you win this battle, everything will naturally be fine, but once you lose, your image in the eyes of court officials will be greatly reduced.

And once the emperor learns about it, he will definitely think of Shen Chongming, who has been idle for nearly half a year, and once the emperor insists on using him again, it will be impossible for him to stop him. After all, in this world, it is still the emperor.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Juzheng thought of a good candidate when he arrived, that is, Xiong Dabiao, the commander of the upper guard. Although this person is not outstanding in strategy, he can be called the first in the army in terms of bravery. Although this is a shortcoming, but the Datong general soldier Wang Chonggu is enough to make up for it, when Xiong Dabiao is the commander, Wang Chonggu is the deputy marshal, the two complement each other, and it is not difficult to deal with the Tartar soldiers.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Juzheng shook his head. This Xiong Dabiao has a great relationship with Shen Chongming, and now he is in a high position, although he has something to do with himself, but in the eyes of most people, it is also Shen Chongming's support. In this way, even if he won with him as the coach, everyone could only think that it was Shen Chongming who saw heroes and cultivated a capable general for the imperial court.

"That's it, let's directly select two generals from the border pass to defend against the enemy."

Talking to himself, Zhang Juzheng not only did not feel the slightest relaxation, but his heart became more and more unsteady. I only remember that Shen Chongming did not have much support in the court, but he ignored his influence in the army, just one Xiong Dabiao was in an important position, and counting the generals he had promoted in various places over the years, wouldn't that be a huge network?

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't sit still, ordered someone to prepare the car quickly, and anxiously rushed to the military headquarters. I must check it carefully, how many people Shen Chongming has promoted in the army over the years, and what positions these people are in now!

Halfway through, Zhang Juzheng made another noise and let the carriage turn towards the cabinet. It is by no means a day's work to investigate the henchmen in Shen Chongming's army, so let's wait until I have properly arranged the matter of resisting the Mongol Tatars.

Outside the city of Nanjing, in the palatial Guogong Mansion.

His life was worried, but Shen Chongming didn't notice it. However, he has never been worried about safety, not only there are more than 100 guards in the Guogong Mansion who have followed him for many years, but also a tunnel that Sikong Wang led people to dig directly into the city. So even if he encounters danger, he can completely evacuate from the tunnel with his family.

However, Shen Chongming has been unable to sit and lie down in the past few days, and the situation in front of him has really made him anxious. What worries him the most now is whether Wuwei can raise the anti-flag earlier.

Now Dongchang's behavior is becoming more and more crazy, and every day of delay, many people will be detained for inexplicable crimes, imprisoned or even pushed to the beheading. Now it is not only the people who are suffering, but also the image of the imperial court among the people of the world is fundamentally in crisis.

Just when Shen Chongming was worried, the news of the Tartar offense also spread to Nanjing City like wings.

When he heard the news at first glance, Shen Chongming was also surprised. It's not that I think this matter is terrible, but I can't think about it for a while, and I promise to raise 100,000 troops to rummage around, which is simply impossible.

Shen Chongming is definitely a narcissistic person in his heart, and he can now count all the exploits he has made over the years, and the great victory over the Tartar soldiers is something he can't forget in his life.

When he returned to the dynasty after victory, he also swore to others that within ten years, the Tartars would no longer be able to offend. But now it's only been a few years, and I can raise 100,000 troops to commit a large-scale offense, which is strange everywhere.

"Raise 100,000 troops, Chen Xiao, do you think this is possible?" Shen Chongming scratched his head and asked, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only ask Chen Xiao for advice. This kid is super logical and reasoning, and he may be able to give a suitable answer.

On the way to deliver the letter, Chen Xiao was thinking about this problem, and he also knew what Shen Chongming said when he returned from a great victory.

"My lord, the number of soldiers who can fight well in the Tartars may be less than 100,000, but the population of the tribe is quite large, but with the strength of the whole clan, these 100,000 troops can be enough, but the good and the bad are mixed. The subordinates thought that it must have been because I heard that the situation in my Ming Dynasty was unstable, so I fought hard. Chen Xiao said what he thought in his heart, which was also the best answer he thought of along the way.

Shen Chongming nodded, it made sense to explain it like this. With a smile, Shen Chongming said: "That's not bad, maybe if he moves like this, Wuweijiao will also feel that the opportunity is rare and will take this opportunity to raise troops to rebel." ”

"If that's the case, then congratulations to you. If Wuweijiao and I answer form a north-south attack, the world will definitely shake, and Zhang Juzheng wants to stabilize the situation, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it. Chen Xiao said with a smile, as if he had seen the time when Shen Chongming went out of the mountain to control the court situation.

Shen Chongming laughed, and his thoughts were almost exactly the same as Chen Xiao's. Although this idea is a little dirty, but the current situation can't help but Shen Chongming doesn't think so, and if he doesn't let himself clean up the current situation, not to mention all the hard work of these years, it is very likely to drag the Ming Dynasty into the bottomless abyss.

So I let the situation go bad these days, instead of trying to do everything possible to save it, for such an opportunity to settle the situation.

"My lord, if things really turn out as we expected, it's a bit wrong for your subordinates to think that you can live outside the city again. After all, Wuwei has suffered a lot under your men over the years, and once they get into trouble, it is impossible not to consider your potential threat, and it will be too dangerous if something bad happens. Chen Xiao said cautiously. For this kind of thing, it is like taking refuge in the city, but I am afraid that the adults will not want to.

However, Shen Chongming's reaction greatly surprised Chen Xiao's expectations. I saw him nod and said, "Well, it makes sense, you can arrange it, and the official will quietly move in with his family tomorrow, leaving an empty house for them to rejoice." ”

After all, he has a family and a business, even if Shen Chongming doesn't care about his own safety, he has to think about his wife and children. Once Wuwei endangers the safety of his family, he will cry to death.

Moreover, once Wuwei Sect started an incident, the first thing they had to take was the city of Nanjing, which was not of great political significance, and it was also a good checkpoint to hold the main road militarily.

"Yes, the subordinate will order someone to pack up a house in the city and come out, so that the lord and the lady can move there early tomorrow morning." Chen Xiao got up and said with a smile, ensuring the safety of adults, and he can do anything by himself.

At the same time, Zhao Wenyi, who was in Zhenjiang, also received a flying pigeon from Serangjun, which was a carrier pigeon released after Serangjun returned to Datong.

"Hehehe, I have already sent troops, two protectors, do you think we should also raise troops?" Looking at Zheng Shanchuan and Cai Wenyuan in front of him, the joy on Zhao Wenyi's face was not hidden at all. The time is finally ripe for the army.

"Congratulations to the Master, congratulations to the Master. Now that the people and horses in various places are ready, they can only wait for the sect leader to give an order, and they can raise troops to carry out great things together! "Cai Wenyuan hugged his fists and sealed his wife and son, it is not far off. With his identity as a protector of the Dharma, he has to be a king with a different surname after the matter is completed.

Zheng Shanchuan was also excited, for this important matter, he had worked hard for so many years, not to mention, how many brothers in the church shed their blood. What's even more regrettable is that his brother Zheng Sihai, who is right and who is wrong between the two brothers, can finally have a conclusion.

"Sect Master, don't hesitate when the time comes." Zheng Shanchuan behaves very calmly, he likes to bury his thoughts in the deepest depths. And fighting for power and profit is not his preference.

"Okay, convene the leaders of Zhenjiang to discuss major matters, and say that there is an arrangement for this seat." Zhao Wenyi said excitedly. Commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the world, I feel excited when I imagine it.

In a small Zhenjiang Mansion, it was easy to gather all the leaders, and in less than an hour, all the leaders gathered in front of Zhao Wenyi and waited for his instructions.

"Brothers, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall Zhao has just sent back the good news, I promised to raise 100,000 troops to the border, the elite of the Ming Court border army has no time to take care of it, and the time has come for me to raise troops for the Sect. Five days later, the banner was officially erected to conquer Zhu Ming, seize the world and establish the great cause of the country! Zhao Wenyi said murderously, what is needed at this time is not gentleness, but invincible momentum in the world!

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone present, panic, excitement, and all sorts of things. But it didn't take long, and all that was left was an excited look, wasn't this the original intention of everyone gathered under the sect leader's command?

"Congratulations to the Master." Everyone bowed down in unison, once it was done, our sect leader would be the Ninety-Five Supreme who sat on the dragon chair under his buttocks, and everyone was also attacking the city from the dragon, and it was not a problem to be crowned a king.

"The missionary commander appointed the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, commanding the congregations in various places to conquer Zhu Ming. Zheng Shanchuan, the left protector, served as the deputy marshal, and Cai Wenyuan, the right protector, served as the military advisor, and the three hall masters each led the position of god soldier general, and commanded the sect members under their command to form a three-way army. For the rest of the leaders of the sect, the military advisor Cai Wenyuan immediately made arrangements. From today onwards, it is imperative that military orders are like a mountain, and no one is allowed to disobey them! "Since the army has been raised, then we can no longer be called the sect master, from now on, our brothers can be regarded as regular troops.
