Several soldiers outside the camp tent entered the tent and dragged the two of them out, and the two of them immediately panicked, but Xie Qian did not speak, and all the generals of the rebel army lowered their heads when they saw this.

A moment later, a scream accompanied by the dull sound of military sticks came in, and the silent pin drop could be heard in the big tent.

Xie Qian also has his ambitions, but at this time he must rely on King Lu, although he knows that Zhang Mingzhen is establishing prestige, and then he will integrate the rebel army, and his command of the rebel army will be gradually lost, but compared to these, if there is no support from King Lu at the moment, then he can't stop Duoduo's army at all, and there is nowhere to retreat to the sea.

The rebel army is full of mountains, and the state of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is almost the same, they will gather together if they get together, and they will part ways if they can't get together, Xie Qian does not have absolute authority, and the current rebel army is mostly a rabble, and it really needs a strongman to integrate.

Xie Qian was glanced at by Zhao Shuxiang, so he endured it, and now he needs to be in the same boat, and he also needs to use the identity given to him by King Lu to realize the transformation from a rogue to a regular official army.

Zhang Mingzhen glanced at Xie Qian, still quite satisfied.

At this time, he sat up straight, glanced at the generals in the tent, especially the rebels, and said: "Jianyi has ravaged China for more than four years, Gao Yuanhou and all the generals have raised their arms for the righteousness, and restored the rivers and mountains of the north of the Yangtze River, which is really a hero of the country. ”

Zhang Mingzhen took the scale, praised a few words appropriately, and then continued: "This time, King Yi Duoduo raised tens of thousands of soldiers, and wanted to regain the land that the soldiers fought in blood, and His Royal Highness King Lu would never allow it, so he sent this governor here to fight against the strong enemy with you. That is, it is a strong enemy, and you and the Governor have worked together on this, and what do you think of this war, you can mention it, and the Governor will listen to it. ”

In the tent, the generals of the Lu army sat upright one by one, looking at Zhang Mingzhen, but no one put forward any opinions, and Xie Qian and the others also listened honestly, with a serious face.

Zhao Shuxiang looked around, saw that there was silence on the field, stood up and said: "Supervisor, I only listened to the words of the Inspector in my late life, His Royal Highness King Lu seems to have the intention of defending Jiangbei, but King Yi's soldiers are full of food and food, and there are many people and horses, I don't know how His Royal Highness King Lu and the Supervisor plan to resist the enemy!" ”

Zhao Shuxiang also suggested that Xie Qian guard the city by city, and if he could hold on to the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, he would insist on the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, and if he could not hold on, he would withdraw from Nantong to Chongming, mostly passively, and he didn't have much confidence, so he wanted to hear what countermeasures Zhang Mingzhen had.

Zhang Mingzhen waited for him to ask, and said to everyone with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Lu knows that it is not easy to hold Jiangbei, so His Royal Highness has made a lot of efforts. The first of these is food. The governor knew that more than 100,000 soldiers in these counties had fallen into a crisis of grain and grass, but the generals did not have to worry, His Royal Highness King Lu had allocated 600,000 taels of silver to send Pingyi Bo Zhou Hezhi south to Guangdong, and the deployment of the Hengyang Domain was used to purchase grain from Nanyang. Calculating the time, within two months at the latest, a large amount of rice and grain will be delivered, which can solve the urgent needs of the army. ”

This silver is just a dead thing, it has no value in itself, what is valuable is the purchasing power attached to it, Xie Qian also robbed a lot of silver, but in his hands it is basically a pile of scrap iron, and there is no place to buy food with silver, but King Lu has channels to buy grain from Nanyang, copper, iron and weapons from Japan.

Trade is not a one-way just to transport the country's goods abroad, but interaction, burning a porcelain can be exchanged for a few bags of rice grain, with the money earned in exchange for a large amount of overseas grain, copper, iron, but also to increase taxes, can make the national strength increase.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, Zhang Mingzhen established his prestige, and after being appeased with good words, he is now starting to draw a big pie again, giving hope and giving a way.

After hearing this, Zhao Shuxiang said happily: "If there is food, the possibility of persevering in Jiangbei will be greatly improved." ”

Zhang Mingzhen then continued: "In addition to food, Zhang Jianjun will leave for Wuchang in the near future to meet the Hengyang Domain, the two families have previously cooperated to blockade the Yangtze River, and the relationship is harmonious, Zhang Jianjun will carry a letter from His Royal Highness King Lu, asking the Hengyang Domain to send troops east to share the pressure for us." If the time is right, you can revive the plan of meeting the Yangtze River, and the two of them will hunt Nanjing together! ”

The envoy sent by Xie Qian to the west for help has already set off, but after all, his status is not high, and it is difficult to play a role, but with a letter written by King Lu and Zhang Huangyan going to ask for help, it is very likely that King Hengyang will send troops.

Hearing this, the atmosphere of the generals of the righteous army in the tent finally became active, they originally thought that they would have to work hard to support in the future, and there was no hope, but if the army of the Hengyang Domain joined in, the situation would be different, and it was not yet known that they might be able to establish a meritorious career.

At this time, Zhang Mingzhen's prestige was also established, and hope was given, so he stood up and entered the topic, "After all, Hengyang Domain is a foreign domain, whether he can send troops is still uncertain, even if we send troops, first of all, we must have strength." Now that you are the officials of the imperial court, you need to correct your old ways. From today onwards, the Governor and you will have three chapters of the law, and those who do not respect the military law will be killed! ** Captivator kill! Kill those who retreat! Will the generals have any objections? ”

When Xie Qian and the others heard this, they swallowed their saliva, stood up together, and responded with their fists clenched: "We will obey the order of the superintendent!" ”

Zhang Mingzhen was very satisfied, pressed his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and then then ordered: "Nantong City must be defeated as soon as possible." When the artillery was transported to Wolf Mountain, the army immediately attacked the city. Gao Yuan waited to feint to attack the north city, Ruan Jin mainly attacked the east city, leaving the west city not to attack, Zhao Shuxiang can gather the Gao Yuan army and the horse army, if the enemy breaks and flees, immediately cover and kill. ”

When several people heard the order, they immediately went out to respond, Zhang Mingzhen glanced at the generals, "Nantong is just a small test, and there will be a battle against Duoduo later, if it drags on here for too long, it will inevitably affect the battle with a strong enemy." Jiangbei is close to Nanjing, if it is a good fight, it will inevitably shake the south of the Yangtze River, you will be noticed by the world, I hope you will take the lead and make contributions! ”

After speaking, everyone got up together, Zhang Mingzhen waved his hand, and asked everyone to go back to prepare.

After everyone left, Zhang Mingzhen did not rest, but inspected the battalions with Zhang Huangyan, checked the preparations for the siege, and came to the camp of the Gaoyuan Army in the west, visited the two generals Ding and Wang, who had been beaten by fifty military sticks, and personally medicated the two of them, and staged a meat play, which moved the two of them to tears, and swore to be the first to be the supervisor.

Out of the West Camp, on the way back, there was a scout to report, arrested a Qing Dynasty envoy, said that he wanted to question King Lu why he wanted to sabotage the peace between the two countries, rashly raise troops, Zhang Mingzhen laughed when he heard this, and said to Zhang Huang on the side: "Just take this opportunity to sacrifice the flag!" ”

Zhang Mingzhen didn't see it, so he directly asked the Qing envoy to be tied up and imprisoned, and when the city was attacked tomorrow, he would kill this person first to boost the army's prestige.
