Ma Jiyuan was surprised to see that Jiang Peng was the army coming, he thought that Zhao Guodong could come!

"General Jiang, why didn't you Governor Zhao come?" Ma Jiyuan was rescued by Jiang Pengju when he escaped in Xinyang, so he had a good impression of Jiang Pengju, and he spoke with the word general.

Jiang Peng raised his hand and replied: "Lord Huitai, Admiral Zhao is now on the front line on the periphery of Yangzhou, and our 10th Division is a newly formed unit, and the firearms are not enough, so the last general will stay here in Guazhou and wait for the follow-up weapons and equipment!" Today, I listened to the order of the people in Taiwan, and the army of Guazhou has the highest official position as the last general, so the last general is here! ”

It turned out that Zhao Guodong was in Yangzhou. Ma Jiyuan didn't say anything after listening, nodded and didn't speak.

After more than ten minutes, the Chinese army outside the door entered the house to report, and Zhang Liang, the admiral of the naval fleet, came.

Zhang Liang rushed over immediately after receiving the notice, he had dealt with Ma Jiyuan in Luzon, and knew that this old guy had a dark face and was not emotional, and the old guy was the emperor's descendant, and the background was very hard, and he still couldn't afford to offend.

After Zhang Liang entered the house, the highest officials in Guazhou were all counted, Jiang Pengju was in the army, Zhang Liang was in the navy, and Zhang Juchang was a local acquaintance.

Ma Jiyuan looked at it and said: "Everyone has arrived, this governor is in charge of the emperor's holy decree, supervising Yangzhou, and now reading out His Majesty's will!" ”

Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang heard that it was the emperor's holy decree, they didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly knelt down to receive the decree, at this time Zhang Juchang had some small privileges, he was a jinshi, he didn't need to kneel on the ground, just bow down.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor restricts, now order the governor of Liangguang Ma Jiyuan to supervise Yangzhou, in charge of all matters of the navy and army, you and others must work together to capture Yangzhou before the fifteenth day of the first month! Xu Ma Jiyuan acts cheaply, and the civil and military officials below the four grades can be cut first and then played, Qin this! ”

Zhang Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled with fear after listening to the emperor's holy decree, he was not afraid of civil officials because civil officials couldn't control him, but now Ma Jiyuan has been authorized by the emperor to act cheaply, and below the fourth grade, he can cut first and then play, which really frightened Zhang Liang. Although his official position is more than four grades, who doesn't have a relative or friend, it won't be good if he falls into the hands of Ma Jiyuan at that time.

Jiang Pengju was happy after listening to the emperor's holy decree, according to his relationship with Governor Ma, coupled with the holy decree, he would not kill the navy rats!

As soon as Ma Jiyuan's voice fell, Jiang Pengju didn't get up yet, he knelt there and shouted: "Lord Taiwan, the last general reported that Admiral Zhang Liangyi of the Navy had delayed the fighter plane, and asked Lord Taiwan to cut this bastard with the sword of the Son of Heaven!" ”

When Zhang Liang heard that Jiang Peng raised the wicked person to sue first, he was so angry that he was angry, and these mud-legged people still dared to say that they had delayed the fighter?

Zhang Liang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Taiwan, it's not that the last general delayed the fighter, but the army is really incompetent, more than 40,000 people beat a Yangzhou guarded by the Qing army with only 60,000 cold weapons for nearly a month, and now they are still trapped under the city wall of Yangzhou, the last general thinks that this is a shame for the army, and asks the master of Taiwan to cut all the officers of the army with the sword of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Jiang Pengju heard Zhang Liang say this and scolded: "You rats are so ruthless, we only want to kill one of you, but you want to kill all of us!" ”

"Fart, the battle of Yangzhou was originally dominated by your army, why do you want to blame our navy for delaying fighters?"

"You fart, don't you know that the army artillery is not powerful enough? We, Admiral Zhao, have asked you to come close to support many times, why don't you go? ”

"Don't you know how deep the draft of the Navy warship is? Are you blind, are all your army blind? Can we go in at the depth of the Grand Canal? ”

Jiang Peng raised his eyes, he hated others the most for saying that he was blind, today Zhang Liang didn't open which pot to mention, plus he had suffered a lot of anger in Guazhou in the past ten days, and the new hatred and old hatred added Jiang Peng's blindness in the air.

"Zhang Shuiyu, who are you scolding? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu hacked you to death? ”

Zhang Liang was originally a river bandit in Llama Lake, he didn't have much culture, he named him Water Fish when he was a child, what good name can the children by the lake have, this is not bad. Later, Zhang Liang and Yan Qingshan were recruited together, and they knew that their name was not good and they were afraid that people would laugh at them, so they changed their name to Zhang Liang. Most people don't know about this matter, but it can hide it from Jiang Pengju.

Now Zhang Liang heard Jiang Pengju expose his old background, and he was also annoyed and angry, and scolded: "What did you say Jiang blind? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you? ”

Ma Jiyuan had just finished reading the holy decree, and he was going to ask what the current situation was, but he didn't think that Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang would start to do it themselves.

Zhang Juchang on the side also came to arch the fire, he came to Ma Jiyuan's side and cried: "My lord, you see, these soldiers dare to do it in front of adults, and the lower officials are really bullied by them!" Woo woo ”

As soon as Zhang Juchang cried like this, there was a mess in the house, crying and scolding, just like a vegetable market.

Ma Jiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, and the sound of the teacup breaking made the room quiet.

Ma Jiyuan saw that the room was quiet, and said: "It's quiet, whoever wants to make a noise don't blame Bendu's subordinates for being ruthless!" ”

The three people in the room saw that Ma Jiyuan was angry, so they quickly quieted down and stood aside one after another.

Ma Jiyuan continued: "I don't care about the previous things, and I don't want to care about your bullshit, this time I came to this governor to serve the holy order, and I have the right to act cheaply, if that one dares to slack off, be careful that the sword of the Son of Heaven does not have eyes!" ”

Ma Jiyuan is not Zhang Juchang, no matter his status is much more than him. Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang heard Ma Jiyuan say this, and hurriedly said that they would definitely abide by the orders of the people who controlled Taiwan and bravely killed the enemy.

Seeing that the three of them were no longer crying, Ma Jiyuan asked his subordinates to serve tea again, and then motioned for the three to sit down.

Ma Jiyuan asked: "General Jiang, you just said that the navy did not cooperate with you, what happened?" ”

Jiang Pengju saw Ma Jiyuan ask himself first, and he was happy in his heart, it seems that the old relationship is still useful! With Ma Jiyuan's permission, Jiang Pengju stood up and said: "My lord, as early as half a month ago, our Admiral Zhao sent the last to come to Guazhou Ferry here to find the navy to borrow artillery, but Zhang Liang did everything possible to obstruct it, just not to give a happy word, you must know that our army will suffer hundreds of casualties every day under the city of Yangzhou, and the last general will ask the lord to deal with the navy ruthlessly!" ”

After Jiang Pengju finished speaking, Zhang Liang was just about to stand up and refute, but after Ma Jiyuan glared at him, Zhang Liang sat down stupidly.

Ma Jiyuan asked: "General Jiang, do you dare to guarantee that as long as the naval artillery arrives, it will be able to take Yangzhou before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" ”

"Lord Zhangtai, this is natural, Admiral Zhao is ready, just wait for the cannon!"

Ma Jiyuan nodded, then turned to Zhang Liang and said, "Admiral Zhang, why doesn't your navy want to lend artillery to the army!" ”

Zhang Liang finally got a chance to speak, and quickly stood up and said: "Lord Taiwan, it's not that the last general refuses to borrow guns, it's really that the navy ships are too big to get on the shore, and the tonnage of the ships that Zhang Tongzhi got is too small. Our twenty-one-pound artillery alone has 3,000 pounds, and the ships on the canal can't fit it! ”

Zhang Liang thought for a while and then said: "Also, Lord Taiwan, the heavy guns of the navy are all installed on the lowest deck of the warship, and each deck is a steel plate inside, which is really troublesome to disassemble." There is also a shortage of manpower for the last general, each heavy artillery weighs 3,000 catties, and it takes 50 people to carry it, and the navy really can't make so many manpower! ”

As soon as Ma Jiyuan heard Zhang Liang, he was reasoning, there are four or five hundred people on each warship in the navy, so he can't find manpower, but the trouble he said about deck dismantling is a reason.

Ma Jiyuan knew that the army and navy had always been at odds, and Zhang Liang was afraid that he would not cooperate because he did not want the army to win Yangzhou's military merits. However, Ma Jiyuan doesn't want to care about these things of the navy and army, he is here to supervise the division, as long as he takes Yangzhou, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

Ma Jiyuan interrupted Zhang Liang's conversation with a wave of his hand and said, "I didn't care about the previous things, and I didn't want to take care of them, but now you guys should do it?" This governor has already made a military order with the emperor, and if you can't take Yangzhou fifteen years ago, you will cut off my head, don't worry, I will chop off the heads of the three of you before the emperor cuts off my head! ”

The three of them didn't dare to speak when they heard what Ma Jiyuan said, after all, the emperor's holy purpose was there, and Ma Jiyuan really dared to cut off their heads.

Zhang Juchang is worthy of being a scholar, and his heart is lively, and he interjected on the side when he heard Ma Jiyuan say this: "Lord Taiwan, in fact, there is enough time, now there are five days before the Chinese New Year, that is, there are twenty days, and we will gather people to unload the cannon tonight, and three days is enough." Guazhou is less than a day's journey away from Yangzhou waterway, that is, it can reach Yangzhou before the year. However, it is difficult to say whether the cannon can blast open the city wall under the city of Yangzhou, the city wall of Yangzhou was built during the Hongwu period, and the main city wall is thirty zhang thick! ”

Ma Ji looked at Zhang Liang without speaking, after all, this is their navy's cannon, and their navy knows the power.

Zhang Liang saw that it was his turn to express his determination and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the heavy artillery of the navy is a twenty-one pound cannon, and a shell weighs thirty pounds, give me five days, and I will definitely be able to blast open the city wall, but after the city wall is blown away, it will not be under our control, and we are not strong in land warfare!" ”

At this time, Jiang Pengju said on the side: "We, Admiral Zhao, know that your navy is afraid of death, as long as you blast open the city wall, we can take Yangzhou in five days!" ”

Ma Jiyuan said to Zhang Juchang: "From Guazhou here to Yangzhou, you need to take the waterway, how many boats do you have on the canal?" ”

Hearing Ma Jiyuan say this, Zhang Juchang was embarrassed: "My lord, because a few years ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty dispatched ships to fight a decisive battle with the navy, and thousands of ships and 500 ships on the canal were all taken away, and now there are less than 100 small ships left with 100 materials, of which there are still 50 ships to ensure the supply of front-line military supplies, and only 50 can be mobilized!" ”

Zhang Liang stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, he was the navy knew the conversion method of the displacement of the Ming Dynasty, one hundred materials was only equivalent to a small ship with a displacement of thirty tons, and a heavy artillery would cost 3,000 catties, plus gunpowder, projectiles, shooters, forcemen, etc., fifty ships could hold fifteen guns at most.
