Chapter 143: Shao Sima's Thoughts (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
From noon, the whole Wuhu is like the New Year, the sound of firecrackers everywhere, the old and young who were still worried about the situation in Nanjing, this will be a long sigh of relief, the news of Nanjing's recovery, but it only took a day's work, it has been transmitted from Nanjing to Wuhu.
"Brothers, I'm sure you've heard of it. Nanjing has been restored by Prince Zheng, and this Northern Expedition can be said to have been successful! ……”
Before Zhang Huang, who was full of joy, finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of joy around them, before they came to the yamen, they had already heard about it, not to mention anything else, it was the continuous sound of firecrackers outside the yamen, and they had already told them clearly and unmistakably that this was good news.
"Shao Sima, now that Nanjing has been restored, the hearts of the people in Jiangnan will be shocked, and the puppet officials in Jiangnan who were originally on the sidelines must have heard about it and surrendered, and in the opinion of the standard, our army should immediately use troops in Zhejiang to determine the ...... of Jiangnan."
"The use of troops in Zhejiang, although it can be set in the south of the Yangtze River, but the land in the south of the Yangtze River, in urgent need of grain and grass to mark it down, the application of soldiers in Jiangxi, Jiangxi has a lot of grain, which can help the army and military supplies, and Jiangxi has dense waterways, which can promote the strengths of our army!"
Xu is the news of Nanjing Kefu bayonet, everyone has put forward their own suggestions, although now this army of the Eastern Expedition, no more than 10,000 soldiers, but everyone is quite confident, completely did not put the Qing army in Jiangxi and Zhejiang in their eyes, after all, when Zhang Huangyan led them to leave the Northern Expedition army, they only led 2,000 people, it is by relying on the people's will in the Ming, they will all the way to surrender dozens of states and counties.
Looking at everyone, you said word by word when you said whether to take Zhejiang to consolidate the rear, or enter Jiangxi, in order to get the granary, Zhang Huangyan got up, then took a breath, and then said in a solemn tone.
"At present, whether it is to take Zhejiang, or enter Jiangxi, or go to the north, you need the permission of Prince Zheng, this time I called everyone over, and I only did one thing, that is, the old man will return to Nanjing today to discuss the next plan with Lord Zheng, as for your ......"
Looking around at the generals around him, Zhang Huang couldn't help but think of another person, if he was under his command, why would he be so worried like now!
"The most important thing at the moment is to recruit righteous soldiers from all sides, recruit troops and drill, so that they can enter Zhejiang and take Jiangxi, and furthermore, the Qing chieftain not only ordered the general to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to the south, but also trained the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners in Nanyuan, intending to personally conquer Jiangnan, and a war will be inevitable in the future, if you want to keep Jiangnan, you have to recruit troops to drill Shuike, and this matter will have to be done by all the brothers......"
Zhang Huangyan got up and bowed his hand as he spoke. And everyone returned the salute one after another. After giving all the advice on the recruitment drill and making arrangements for the food and salary, Zhang Huangyan's face showed a trace of worry after the generals left.
"Xu joins the army, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhang Huangyan turned his head and asked Xu Yunyan beside him, and now the thing he asked was naturally no longer anything else, but another news from Nanjing.
"Prince Zheng detained Zhu Junmen in prison, naturally he was just angry for a while, and after he wanted to wait for his anger, Prince Zheng would naturally release him in the future, but in the next opinion, this matter may not be so simple in the long run."
Xu Yunyan is the staff who has followed Zhang Huangyan for the longest time, in addition to strategizing and drawing for him, he is also easy-going, and he is also his most trusted confidant, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Huangyan will ask for his meaning.
"It's not that simple? Please join the army in detail. ”
In the army, Xu Yunyan's official body is to join the army and serve as his staff officer.
"I think that after Zheng Wangye can get Nanjing, Jiangnan pacification is already the general trend, and the current news should not have reached all parts of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, if the news comes out, all parts of Jiangnan will rush to be the first to go anyway, if our army goes straight to Poyang Lake, it will definitely be able to get a local response. Moreover, Jiangxi has always been an important place to resist the Qing Dynasty, and with the prestige of Shao Sima for more than ten years, he only needs to go to Jiangxi, and he will definitely call on the rebels to rise again, and the local puppet officials must surrender first......"
Xu Yunyan said with confidence, he did not doubt this, just like when he led two thousand men and horses to leave Guazhou, if it weren't for Zhang Huangyan's prestige, he could easily get dozens of prefectures and counties without spending a single soldier.
"Well, that's true......"
Zhang Huangyan nodded.
"Nanjing Xinsheng, the momentum of the Tartars is declining, whether Shao Sima enters Zhejiang or Jiangxi, he can easily take ......"
Xu Yunyan's words suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Huangyan and said.
"But, it's not the best policy!"
"Join the army, you mean ......"
Zhang Huangyan looked at Xu Yunyan and frowned suddenly, and then understood his thoughts.
"Compared with Prince Zheng, although Shao Sima does not have many soldiers, it will not be wide, and there is no merit in recovering the southern capital, but the prestige of Shao Sima in Shilin is not available to Prince Zheng and others, just like Zhu Mingzhong, his intention to seize the city has to be attacked and attacked, and then as soon as the Shao Sima messenger arrives, all the cities are all descended when they hear the wind, such prestige is exactly what Prince Zheng does not have, and it is precisely because of this that Shao Sima is jealous!"
Sometimes there are some words, Shao Sima can not say them, but as Zhang Huangyan's staff. Xu Yunyan had to say it. This is his responsibility as a staff member.
"Jealous!"
Zhang Huangyan, who understood the meaning of Xu Yunyan's words, snorted and said.
"The old man is for the country everywhere, how can he ever have the slightest selfishness?"
Zhang Huangyan's words seemed a little unhappy, and the most jealous of his upright life were those who had selfish intentions. If it weren't for everyone's selfishness, Daming would not have ended up where he is today.
Because of this, in the process of cooperating with Zheng Chenggong, he has always been tolerant and humble to Zheng Chenggong. As a result, the cooperation between the two can be regarded as close.
"Young Sima is a dignified gentleman, and Prince Zheng is also a man of temperament, but there has never been no villain around Prince Zheng!"
There has never been no villain around Prince Zheng!
This reminder made Zhang Huangyan think about why he came to Wuhu.
Xu Yunyan stared at the thoughtful Zhang Huangyan and continued.
"The matter of Zhu Junmen, although it seems that Zheng Wangye is in a hurry, but this matter must be handled by the villain, if this matter is used by the villain, Shao Sima will use troops in Jiangxi and Zhejiang on his own, what will Zheng Wangye think?"
Looking at Shao Sima, Xu Yunyan's tone was a little helpless, although he was a little helpless, but what he said was the truth.
"Joining the army is worried, how can the old man not know? If it weren't for that, how would the old man decide to go back to Nanjing? ”
Zhang Huangyan took a deep breath sullenly, and then said in a deep voice.
"Although the Northern Expedition is now in its infancy, it is at a critical time, at this time, the most taboo boss is discordant, Zheng Wangye has an upright temperament, and he is even more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how can the old man not know, because of this, the old man can not let the villain get his wish, but Zhu Mingzhong ......"
Thinking of this young man, Zhang Huangyan is even more glad now, he didn't cut that person directly, if he really cut him, then he Zhang Cangshui would really be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for Zhu Mingzhong's desperate effort to capture the Tongji Gate, how could Prince Zheng take the Shence Gate lightly?
"Shao Sima, if you really want to defend Zhu Junmen, you might as well take him under your command, if Zheng Wangye agrees to Shao Sima's expedition, why don't you take it as a vanguard?"
Xu Yunyan's suggestion only made Zhang Huangyan's eyes shine, isn't this the reason, the reason why Zhu Mingzhong has been unhappy with Zheng Wangye three times is not that the characters of the two are upright people, so that the two have repeatedly clashed, if they are included in the command, not only can they cherish talents for the country, but also add a good general and a soldier, wouldn't it be right.
As for Zhu Mingzong's talent, Zhang Huangyan has always admired it very much. Especially his bravery, which is unparalleled in his army, if he can be included in his command, it is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger. When the time comes, Dongzheng Jiangxi, naturally no longer has any scruples. Even if the Qing army called, with such a tiger general, what is there to worry about.
"I'm afraid that Zhu Chengren may not be willing!"
Zhang Huangyan's worry fell on Xu Yunyan's ears, and only made him laugh.
"Young Sima, I dare to say that now Zhu Mingzhong has not jumped out of the command of Prince Zheng!"
The reason why Xu Yunyan is so confident is because he understands Zheng Chenggong's character, and he also has a certain understanding of that Zhu Chengren, both of them are sincere people, but both of them are too upright.
It is inevitable that the two of them will clash with this kind of personality. But Shao Sima's character can tolerate all kinds of personalities. Zhu Mingzhong is under the command of Shao Sima, and he will definitely be able to give full play to his strengths. It must be said that the Ming Dynasty has made an immortal feat!
"In that case, let's try it over there!"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Huangyan commanded again.
"Let's go prepare the ship now, and we'll go back to Nandu now!"
