In the Susong area, both the people and the government love and fear the wolf soldiers, and their courage to kill the enemy is good, but when they turn around to grab things, they are not much more subtle than the Japanese robbers.

With Zhang Jing being escorted to the capital, the governors changed frequently, and the retreat of a large number of widows, the military discipline of the wolf soldiers was completely exposed. When the war is fierce, even the most unbearable soldiers will be regarded as heroes, and once the war is suspended, the existence of ruffians has become a point of criticism.

To add insult to injury, Yang Yi, the supreme commander of the whole army, did not dare to have any opinions, and did not have any military experience, because the ghost and the wolf guerrilla hinterland, the defense was empty, so he followed Zhang Jing and transferred troops from other provinces to defend, but he did not have the prestige of Zhang Jing to deter the whole army. Fortunately, Yang Yi sent the wolf soldiers outside Hushu Pass early and avoided the biggest brawl, but the irascible Sichuan soldiers and the united Shandong soldiers finally started to work, with more than 100 casualties, and a leader of the thousand households was almost hacked to death, and the military discipline of the whole army has reached the critical point of the riot.

And that's not all, in addition to these superficial factors, there is also an indescribable underlying factor that really boggs the whole country into a quagmire.

Zhang Jing, Zhou Liu, and Cao Bangfu left one after another, which undoubtedly chilled the hearts of the officers and men of the whole army.

It's not right to fight the enemy.

Slip and shoot the horse in order to be promoted.

Although Yang Yi learned the lessons of several predecessors, he began to be corrupted by inaction from the governor, his morale was low, and he did not seek merit, but sought no fault, and the spirit of the whole army was gone. Nowadays, no one is looking forward to defending the country, only begging the Japanese to not come to their own jurisdiction.

The other side. Although the ghosts suffered under the city of Shaoxing. After that, it was flat. It has entered Anhui from Zhejiang, still specializing in the county seat, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city, and the official secret of the loss, but insiders have slightly inferred that in the past two months, the souls of the dead under the ghost sword are afraid that they have broken three thousand, and since the battle of Shaoxing. No one has ever sent the corpse of a ghost.

These dozens of ghost widows may not be able to kill the capital, but the shame and frustration left behind cannot be erased.

In this case, Yang Changfan withstood the pressure and ordered all 100 wolf soldiers to be served by the Han Chinese, camped in the suburbs of Shangyuan County, northeast of Nanjing, and entered the city alone with documents.

Yang Changfan came to be embarrassed, the huge Nanjing, there are thousands of defenders, in order to deal with dozens of ghosts. He led a hundred people to support, which is really unreasonable.

But what is in front of you cannot be explained by logic. If we talk about logic, the existence of these ghosts is a fallacy.

However, Yang Changfan came to Nanjing, and he didn't need logic, he held Zhao Wenhua's order, this is logic, impeccable logic.

The city of Nanjing is as prosperous as expected, but compared to Hangzhou, it is a little more lazy. Since the relocation of the capital to Beijing, Nanjing has gradually become a place for the cultivation of reserve talents and pension, important things can not be done in Nanjing, and the Tartars do not need Nanjing to guard, now the Japanese rebellion is indeed troublesome, but there are still many big fronts in front, no one believes that one day the Japanese can hit the city of Nanjing.

After entering such a city, Yang Changfan did not have the leisure heart, did not go to the Qinhuai River to admire the moon, did not go to the Confucius Temple to worship Kong, but went straight to the governor's mansion to die.

Yang Yi had moved to Hangzhou to show his loyalty, and his style of not advocating and doing anything was brought into full play, and he was soon sent back to Nanjing by Zhao Wenhua, he was naturally happy and grateful to Dade, although Hangzhou is good, but it is too dangerous, or I am more stable in Nanjing.

Yang Changfan had investigated all the way before, Yang Yi's reputation was actually good, he was born as a jinshi, he has been an official for many years, repairing embankments and controlling water, investigating and rehabilitating cases, and inspecting and translating products are all merits, whether it is Su Song, the people or bachelors have a good reputation for it, but the governors are going too fast, and there is no one to choose, so they have to force this respected capable minister to get on the horse.

This person must be very reasonable and reasonable, but there is never any reason to unify the army, and the soldiers and ruffians will not listen to your nonsense, and then again, he doesn't know how to talk to the soldiers.

Therefore, Yang Changfan never had the opportunity to see Yang Yi at all, and after hearing about the intention, the governor closed the door and sent him directly to the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. Yang Yi's meaning is very clear, I don't care about these things, I don't dare to care, what Dad Zhao says is what he wants, Uncle Hu wants to do whatever he wants.

Yang Changfan had no choice but to go all the way to the former imperial city and go to the military department to meet Shangshu Zhang Shiche.

It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to see him, but the military department couldn't push him to others again, and finally a kind squire came to settle Yang Changfan, you can choose the place, I have all the food and accommodation, as long as you don't enter Nanjing City, we can say anything.

Indeed, Nanjing City is fine, but the wolf soldiers can't be allowed to come in.

Yang Changfan was quite disappointed, and after a few polite words, he informed the wolf soldiers where they were stationed, and said goodbye after asking for some supplies. But he didn't leave the military headquarters, and he had one last person to meet.

Tang Shunzhi, according to the grade, the six grades should be placed in a remote place in the military department, but his signing room is second only to the one of Shangshu Zhang Shiche, and the feng shui is good and the area is large, which really violates the principle of officialdom office arrangement.

Yang Changfan's first reaction was that this person had good skin.

It stands to reason that Xu Wenchang's teacher should be ten years older than him, so he should be almost 50 years old, and the beard on this person's face is indeed worthy of this age, but the skin is quite smooth, and his complexion is surprisingly quiet, like a plant growing here.

The aura of an old yoga monk.

Yang Changfan sat at his desk, watching him read the letter carefully, his mood seemed to be much calmer, and he was no longer bothered by the previous prevarications. He really couldn't believe that the person in front of him was only the head of the six-rank military department, and he should be no worse than Yang Yiming.

After a while, Tang Shunzhi put down the letter and said softly: "Wen Chang's illness seems to be better. ”

Yang Changfan couldn't help laughing and said: "I thought that when I saw that I was going to ambush troops in Nanjing, Director Tang should think that Wen Chang was even sicker." ”

"Not really. Wen Chang is not a person who follows the rules and plays steadily, he is good at taking a different path and winning by surprise, and I am not as good as him. ”

"Master Tang is too modest, and Wen Chang also said that he is not as good as you."

"He's humble." Tang Shunzhi smiled and shook his head, "I just passed on his mental learning, not his learning, but he regarded me as a teacher, and I deserved it." ”

Tang Shunzhi looked at Yang Changfan again, except that he was very tall, he didn't seem to see anything special, especially because he was too young, Xu Wenchang could keep up with this, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he tentatively said: "I once recommended Wenchang to Ruzhen, didn't Ruzhen go to see him in person?" ”

Yang Changfan shuddered when he heard this, your circle is really messy.

No wonder Hu Zongxian worked so hard, and his daring was also the intelligence he got from senior headhunters. (To be continued.) )
