Chapter 35 Beacon Fire Ten Days

"Now most of Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong have fallen into the hands of the rebels, and most of Fujian is also controlled by the rebels, and half of the south of the Yangtze River is already under the control of Wuweijiao. According to reliable sources, Du Qianqiu, the leader of the rebels in Huguang, has been mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to raise troops in Jiangxi in the past few days, while the rebels of the other road, under the leadership of the thief leader Chu Xiaotian Deen, have begun to attack the rest of Fujian controlled by the imperial court, and as for the rebels in Zhejiang, they are holding their troops still. The purpose of the rebels is very clear, that is the old capital of Nanjing! ”

Wang Siming said slowly, with a smug look of insight into the opportunity.

The generals kept silent, in fact, everyone has known this for a long time, since ancient times, there was a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the target was not this Jinlingcheng.

"Waiting for the thieves to come to the door will damage the majesty of the imperial court, this official has decided, and all walks of life will immediately start to take the initiative to look for fighters, and once there is a suitable opportunity, they will quickly gather together and completely wipe out the rebels with the power of thunder!" Wang Siming said fiercely.

"My lord, there is no law for Wuwei to teach men and horses to fight, they are not good at attacking cities and are good at setting up ambushes in the field, we will take the initiative to attack, I am only afraid of ......" A general said cautiously, this is all a bloody lesson.

The rest of the people also nodded, and it had been half a month since they started the war with the Wuwei Sect, and everyone suffered a lot at this point. During these days, they were all well studied, guarding several big cities one by one, closing their doors and ceasing, only waiting for the court to send a wise handsome man to come to preside over the war and come up with a clever plan to calm the enemy before making plans.

People were looking forward to coming, but unexpectedly, Wang Siming actually came up with such a bad idea, for the sake of his own life and that of his brothers, everyone could only have the courage to refute.

Wang Siming sneered and reprimanded: "You are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, when it comes to military law, what crime should you deal with?!" ”

"Lord Wang, the military situation is like this, right and wrong brothers are willing to do this." Yu Jiao said helplessly, but he was sneering in his heart. This Wang Siming doesn't know the rules, and he just wanted to show off his majesty, but he didn't know that this kind of thing was what our brothers in the army hated the most.

"Master Yu, this official has his own plans in his heart for this matter, so I won't bother you." Wang Siming glared at him fiercely and said angrily.

Seeing this, Yu Jiao sat there with a glance and stopped talking. But the attitude is already very clear, that is, Wang Siming, who looks down on him.

With such obvious traces, how could Wang Siming not know in his heart. However, as the commander of the Nanjing Guard, Yu Jiao's status is extraordinary, and he can't do anything with his current authority alone. But the future will be long, and he will know how good he is in the future.

"This officer thinks that the defeat of the rebels some time ago is not due to the cunning of the rebels, but because of the unclear investigation of your enemy situation. So after going back this time, you must not only be bold, but also be cautious! As long as you do the thick and fine, are you still worried about the rebels? Wang Siming said coaxingly, he had already known the details of this, how could he be shaken by what others said in a few words.

Wang Siming has already said this, and it will be difficult for the generals present to defend, and they can only respond in silence one by one.

"Okay, the official didn't prepare lunch for you, so you can go back and make arrangements as soon as possible, and when the rebels are quelled, the official will set up a banquet to celebrate your achievements."

"Yes, I'll retire." The generals got up and walked out one by one dejectedly, and Baba rushed over, without drinking two sips of tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official ordered someone to prepare a meal, and the journey is tiring, so you should eat before leaving." Out of Wang Siming's annex, Yu Jiao said to the dejected generals.

"Lord Yu, I'm afraid this is not good, the ...... inside" A general who knew Yu Jiao was embarrassed. Looking at today's situation, I'm afraid that this Wang Siming is not a good person, once everyone really goes, I'm afraid that the rest of the prison will not be easy in the future.

Yu Jiao laughed, "What are you afraid of, people are iron rice and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and even the emperor will not send hungry soldiers." But I said okay, I left after eating, and I had no wine to drink. ”

Hearing this, I felt comfortable, and when there were many people, I liked to coax the seedlings, and everyone said yes, and as soon as they hurried, they followed Yu Jiao to his command and envoy Yamen.

After being full of wine and food, everyone was not in a hurry, and sat around and started gossiping.

"Brother Yu, please forgive the little brother for being abrupt, I heard that you and Zhongguo Gong are relatively close, how about having the opportunity to introduce me and other brothers?" One of the generals said with a smile, just like telling a joke as usual. However, everyone present suddenly quieted down, and their eyes looked directly at Yu Jiao, waiting for his answer.

"Hehehe, your lords look at it highly, what kind of person is that loyal to the country, this official wants to get closer to the grandfather of the country, but our identity is ...... Hehe. Yu Jiao waved his hand and smiled. But the more he did this, the more unbelieving everyone there became. It seems that this guy is very precious to this relationship.

"The military affairs are urgent, please ask Brother Yu to write down the money for this meal for the time being, and when Brother Yu arrives at the realm of the brothers, he will definitely be entertained by the little lady with good wine and food!" After chatting for a while, the generals finally stood up. is dragging and not leaving, but I am afraid that Wang Siming's house will go crazy.

Yu Jiao got up to see him off, and said as he walked: "My lords, you must be careful and careful when you go back to fight against Wuwei this time. Some people don't know how to make a meritorious contribution, so we all have to keep a snack and don't give people a cushion. ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and it was very clear who Yu Jiao was referring to, and that kind of was naturally more in the left ear and in the right ear. At this time, no fault is merit, what kind of meritorious service, can save your life.

After sending the generals to the Changting Pavilion outside the city, Yu Jiao returned to the city on horseback, and did not return to the Yamen, but went straight to Shen Chongming's residence.

"Brother Yu is here, please take a seat." Looking at Yu Jiao, Shen Chongming immediately showed a smile on his face, and waved his hand at Brother Erdan on the side and said, "Erdan, hurry up and order someone to serve tea to Lord Yu, hehe." ”

"Grandpa Guo is polite, the things you have explained have all been done. It's also a loss to Wang Siming, who is arrogant but has almost offended the brothers in the army, and the military order will not be smooth in the future, I am afraid it will be expected. Yu Jiao smiled with a grin.

Shen Chongming smiled and asked, "Tell me, what kind of good strategy did Wang Siming set to destroy the enemy?" ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Jiao was even more interested. "Grandpa is like a god, and the plan set by Wang Siming is the same as what you guessed before, for this reason, the generals from all over the country who came to obey the order are very distressed."

"Hehehe, this person is anxious, and now that he has finally taken power, he is naturally eager to make meritorious contributions." Shen Chongming chuckled softly.

But this strategy is useless, otherwise the soldiers will die in vain, and in the end it will be the loss of the imperial court. Alas, when will this matter come to an end? As he spoke, Shen Chongming was a little worried.

"Grandpa, things have come to this point, if you don't make a move, the situation will become impossible to manage." Yu Jiao said with some worry.

Shen Chongming shook his head, "It's useless to be in a hurry about this kind of thing, if you don't have the time to act rashly, it can only be worse." Alas, I can only wait for the emperor, why isn't this person in a hurry? ”

At the same time, Emperor Longqing, who was in the deep palace, also ordered someone to send Chen Hong.

"Master, the slave and maid have come to listen to the order." Through the bed curtain, Chen Hong asked worriedly, but his face was full of smiles. In the past few days, he has been dealing with the twists and turns of the ceremonial supervisor, and the emperor is also in the harem to raise his body without moving his nest, and when he is safe, why did the tiger suddenly summon him.

Emperor Longqing, who was dressed in a nightgown, sat up lazily, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Chen Hong, what has happened in the world recently?" ”

"The emperor, the country is safe and healthy, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but auspicious times have appeared in many places. You told me a few days ago, so the slave didn't come to report it. Chen Hong's palms began to soak with sweat, could it be that damn thing leaked the wind?

"Ahem, cough, cough......" There was a rapid cough, and two flushes slowly appeared on Emperor Longqing's face. You dare to lie to me, you are so bold! ”

Chen Hong's heart tightened, and his legs fell to the ground with weakness. "Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die. Master, you are not feeling well these days, and the slave and maid have taken it upon themselves to hide it. ”

"Help me out."

Hearing Emperor Longqing's words, Chen Hong hurriedly got up, wiped his sweat, and ran in small steps. "Your Majesty, slow down."

Looking at Emperor Longqing, whose figure had become thinner and thinner, Chen Hong couldn't help but be a little worried. The group of rice buckets in the Tai Hospital couldn't even think of a good way.

"I heard that the situation in the south is not very good, is this news true?" Walking to the door, Emperor Longqing's brows couldn't help frowning, why is this day a little dazzling.

"Master, rest assured, Elder Zhang Ge has already sent someone to go, and it won't be long before the good news comes." Chen Hongqiang said with a smile, at this time, he could only pick up the nice ones.

Emperor Longqing shook his head and sighed: "This Zhang Juzheng, even if he dares to hide such a big thing, how can this paper be able to contain the fire." You too, many things are not in line with the cabinet is right, and in this regard, you are not as good as Feng Bao. ”

Emperor Longqing's words are worth pondering, Chen Hong's mouth should be yes, but he began to worry in his heart, could it be that the emperor wants to dismiss himself, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch?

"By the way, haven't I done anything in the north yet?" Emperor Longqing asked coldly, Liu Shouyou quietly entered the palace yesterday and had already told himself all the big things.

"Qi Qi master, although I replied that there are 100,000 soldiers outside the pass, it has been almost a month, and there has been no movement. Presumably, this is also the power of your master, the Son of Heaven, so that I dare not act rashly like this. Finally seized an opportunity, Chen Hong's sycophant slapped it without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Longqing didn't eat him, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I haven't left the capital since I ascended the throne, where did I get such prestige." In the final analysis, it is still Shen Qing's credit. Back then, he scattered my ambition for a while, and now he can only slap his swollen face and become fat. ”

Chen Hong's heart shook again, it seems that the emperor is a little too nostalgic today.

"Chen Hong, pass on the decree, and order someone to prepare a generous gift to visit Shen Qing in Nanjing. I was confused about what happened that day, and I hope he can understand my suffering. Emperor Longqing's eyes crossed a trace of remorse, employing people without suspicion, he always thought that he would not be like this, but now it seems that it is still difficult to escape this truth.

"Yes, the slave will do it." Chen Hong's face was as usual, but his heart was already turned upside down, and what Zhang Ge Lao was most worried about was afraid that it was going to happen.
