(Thank you book friend "Book Friend 43075447" for your support!) )
Just when Wuchang was occupied by the Qing army, Emperor Zhu Hongsan of Shenwu was shuttling through the mountains and mountains of Guangxi with 45,000 people, striving to rush to Guilin one day earlier and catch that Zhu Youlang.
Although the Ming army in Guangxi lost 200,000 people outside the city of Guangzhou, there were still quite a lot of Ming troops in the Guilin area, Xing'an and Yanguan had the founding prince Zhao Yinxuan, and in Guilin there were Hu Yiqing, the prince of Weiguo, Yang Guodong, the Marquis of Wuling, Wang Yongzuo of Ningyuanbo, Pu Ying, and Ma Yanglin of Ningwu Bo. Qu Shiyun thought that with the forces at hand, even if he could not defeat Zhu Hongsan, he could at least hold Guilin. Therefore, he did his best to raise food and encourage the generals to prepare for war.
Under the patchwork of Qu Shiyun, the Yongli court organized 80,000 horses and horses to garrison in Pingle and Yangshuo to prevent Zhu Hongsan's attack, and the leading general was the defeated general Li Dingguo.
But where is this hastily organized guard soldiers is the opponent of Zhu Hong's three tigers and wolves' division, in the battle of Pingle, most of the 80,000 horses of the Ming army in Guangxi were killed, and the rest were scattered in a hurry, and Li Dingguo fled again with his own guards.
Zhu Hongsan watched the Guangxi Ming army retreat like a tide, and laughed: "Xuanzhu, what do you think of my army?" ”
Zhang Huangyan knew that this emperor was like a rich man, and he liked others to praise him the most.
"Your Majesty, with such a strong army, you won't have to worry about the success of the Northern Expedition!"
Zhu Hongsan completely looked like a villain, and laughed: "Xuanzhu, you just like to tell the truth, but I like it!" ”
At this moment, a knight came to Zhu Hongsan's guard circle, and a brocade guard hurriedly stepped forward to take the wooden box, and then ran over to hand it to Zhu Hongsan.
"Your Majesty, Jiangxi Nanchang 800 miles urgent!"
Zhu Hongsan was stunned, Nanchang's urgent report? What can happen in Nanchang?
Zhu Hongsan took it and saw that it was Zhang Jiayu who impeached Liu Siyun for losing Wuchang's fold, and saw that Zhu Hongsan angrily threw the fold to the ground.
"This Liu Siyi, your grandma, Lao Tzu handed over Wuchang to you, but you gave it to the Manchu Qing without firing a shot, what kind of heart do you have? Come! After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he was going to send a decree to put Liu Siyun in prison.
At this time, Zhang Huangyan picked up the folds on the ground and finished reading them, Zhang Huangyan heard that Zhu Hongsan was going to clean up Liu Siyi, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, isn't it good to listen to Zhang Jiayu's words?" ”
Zhu Hongsan's anger dropped a little at this time, and asked: "Xuanzhu is right, I also thought that Liu Sicheng would not dare to lose Wuchang for no reason!" ”
Zhang Huangyan heard the emperor say this, and quickly took out a piece of the fold in his arms.
"Your Majesty, this is the performance of Xia Yunyi, the political envoy of Hubei Province, who was just transferred from the Military Aircraft Department yesterday, please watch it!"
Although Xia Yunyi scolded Liu Siyi, he and Liu Siyun were both Donglin Party, and they scolded and scolded, but when they saw that Liu Siyun was going to be unlucky, they naturally wanted to pull a hand. So when Xia Yunyi arrived in Jiujiang, he wrote a report about the incident to the emperor, and also wrote a private letter to Zhang Huangyan, asking Zhang Huangyan to intercede on his behalf.
Although Zhang Huangyan is not a member of the Donglin Party, he has a good relationship with Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong, so he naturally has to help, so he made a move at this critical moment.
Zhu Hongsan didn't know about the annihilation of the Wuchang Inland River Fleet, but now he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it. If you say so, what Liu Siyun did is not wrong at all, but it is meritorious. Without the cover of the navy's gunboats, Wuchang would have to face attacks from all directions, and the more than 10,000 people in the city really couldn't hold on.
Zhu Hongsan took Zhang Jiayu's excerpt and compared it with each other, and he knew what was going on. It must be Zhang Jiayu who slandered Liu Siyi. Zhu Hongsan knows Zhang Jiayu too well, this guy is an opportunist, or he would not have been able to take refuge in Li Chuang in Beijing back then, and when he saw that Li Chuang was not good, he immediately lost his new master and went south. Although Zhang Jiayu is not a loss, he is a complete villain.
Zhu Hongsan touched his chin and thought about it and said, "That's right, Liu Siyun did it!" Now that he has retreated to Jiujiang, let Liu Siyun take charge of Jiangxi, and tell him that Jiujiang is my last bottom line, and if I lose it, I will kill him! ”
Zhang Huangyan asked after remembering it: "Your Majesty, this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south to the peak of the army, and Liu Siyun only had 30,000 people who were afraid that he would not be able to hold on!" ”
Thinking of this Zhu Hong's angry scolding of Dolgon and Xiaozhuang, these two adulterers and adulteresses are still shameless, and they broke the contract less than half a year after signing the treaty, and now all their strength is in Guangxi, what should I do in Jiangxi?
"Xuanzhu, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Your Majesty, now the Japanese army has involved one-third of our army's military strength, and all the navies are in the Japanese country, and the inland river fleet on the Yangtze River is gone, and our army does not have an advantage on the water!"
Zhu Hongsan really couldn't think about it, he had limited troops in his hands. It's a pity that the fat of the Wa Kingdom was just sent to reinforcements half a year ago, and Zhao Guoliang also snatched back a lot of silver and grain for himself, and now he is really reluctant to transfer them back. But there was no way, Zhu Hongsan's troops were stretched. Yangzhou's can't be moved, Nanjing's can't be moved, and Guangxi can't be withdrawn if it's like this, so there's no choice but to use Zhao Guoliang.
"Okay, give the order! Zhao Guoliang's Japanese sent troops back and put them into the Jiujiang battlefield, and the navy let Zhang Liang lead them, and they all went to Jiujiang! Tell Liu Siyun that if he can't win the battle like this, let him wipe his neck directly! ”
Zhang Huangyan then asked: "Your Majesty, do you have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”
"What do you have to say!"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jiayu impeached a governor without investigation, and if other people continue to follow suit, how can those governors work? Please ask Your Majesty to punish Zhang Jiayu! ”
Zhang Huangyan's words can make Zhu Hongsan difficult, it was Zhu Hongsan who asked Zhang Jiayu to spy on these civil officials, but now he is caught and he can't distinguish for him.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it, he should also beat Zhang Jiayu, it is nothing to make a bad thing in normal times, but now that the front line is fighting fiercely, you are in the back with bad medicine, so how can those superintendents work with peace of mind!
"Xuanzhu, in this way, I will give Zhang Jiayu's fold to Liu Siyun together!"
Zhang Huangyan was very satisfied, and he also hated the villain Zhang Jiayu very much, but he knew that Zhang Jiayu was a close minister of the emperor, and it was unrealistic to move him in a word, but as long as he left an impression in the emperor's heart that Zhang Jiayu would only do bad things, it would be good to take his time in the future.
The holy decree was sent to Jiujiang Liu Silai, who originally thought that he was going to fall to the ground, Liu Silai, who saw that the emperor trusted him so much, was moved to cry bitterly, and fell to his knees in the south, promising that he would definitely die in the city!
Of course, along with the holy decree, there is also Zhang Jiayu's impeachment of him, Liu Siyun looked at the seven orifices of anger, this Zhang Jiayu, the shaft! If it weren't for Xia Yunyi to defend himself, he would have fallen on Zhang Jiayu's way.
Now the emperor has given Liu Siyun the privilege of taking charge of Jiangxi, and now Liu Sicheng is energetic. After receiving the holy decree, the first thing he did was to ask Zhang Jiayu, the governor of Jiangxi, who was far away in Nanchang, to come to Jiujiang to visit him.
Zhang Jiayu, who was in Nanchang, received an official letter from the governor's yamen, he was very depressed, he didn't expect that the emperor did not punish Liu Siyi, and also let him take charge of Jiangxi.
Although Zhang Jiayu didn't want to go, but he had to go, he was now under the control of Liu Siyi, now it was wartime, he didn't listen to orders Liu Siyun but he had the right to act cheaply, although it was impossible to kill a governor, but if he said a few bad things about himself in front of the emperor, his future would be gone.
Zhang Jiayu had no way to load the weapons and equipment produced by the Nanchang Arsenal on two large ships and prepared to send them to Liu Siyi. In the past, Liu Siyun also wrote to him and wanted equipment, but Zhang Jiayu refused because he did not belong to each other. You must know that Jiangxi was originally under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangjiang, you have to equip, good! First the military aircraft department, and then the military aircraft department wrote the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, and the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen wrote to the Nanchang Governor's Yamen, and the cucumber vegetables were cold in this circle.
But Zhang Jiayu didn't expect to carry it by himself, and this time it fell into the hands of Liu Siyi, so he had no choice but to pack and send all the equipment he needed before.
Coming to the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang in Jiujiang, Zhang Jiayu entered the house to meet the Governor Liu Siyi.
Liu Siyun saw him come in as if he hadn't seen him, and Zhang Jiayu had no choice, so he could only bow down and salute and say, "Zhang Jiayu, the governor of Jiangxi, meet Lord Liu, the ruler of Taiwan!" ”
Liu Siyun closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard, and a middle-aged official in his forties next to him said, "What? Don't you know how to salute when the governor meets the officials? ”
According to the rules of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, the officials should kowtow to the officials, but this rule was gone in the Jiajing period, as long as the official position was not too bad, or to meet their own teacher, in other cases, there is no need to salute, just bow and salute.
You must know that Zhang Jiayu, as the governor, is only one level worse than the governor, and there is no need to salute at all, but now that people have proposed it, it is really not good for you not to kowtow.
Zhang Jiayu scolded the talkative official in his heart, and he had no choice but to kneel down and say: "Zhang Jiayu, the governor of Jiangxi, meet the master of Taiwan!" ”
At this time, Liu Siyun woke up, looked at it with his eyelids, and said, "It turned out that Zhang Jiayu was here, what's the matter?" Didn't you say that your governor's yamen was busy? Why aren't you busy today? ”
Zhang Jiayu heard Liu Siyun call his name directly, and he was very angry in his heart, not to mention that he was the governor of the second grade, he was a person, as long as it was not your junior, he couldn't call him by his name, either he was called an official position, or he was called a word.
Zhang Jiayu held back his anger and said: "Lord Taiwan, now the lower officials will transport 10,000 muskets, 50 artillery pieces, and countless projectiles and gunpowder produced by the Nanchang Arsenal to Jiujiang, please check it!" ”
Zhang Jiayu means that you hurry up and find someone to accept, Lao Tzu will go back to Nanchang early, and the province will be angry here. How do you know that Liu Siyun didn't want Zhang Jiayu to have such a good time, but said: "Zhang Jiayu, you know that this governor is also in charge of Jiangxi!" Now Ben Du has ordered you to stay in Jiujiang and help Ben Du defend the city! Jiangxi's government affairs are handed over to the political envoy! ”
Zhang Jiayu was dumbfounded when he heard this, now that it is in the hands of Liu Siyi, he will be unlucky if he can't keep it in the future.
