Chapter 298: Poison Plan (Medium)

"That's natural, thank you 1 old man for reminding me, and I'll go back to my lord to communiqué the letter." Li Xixi was startled again, and bowed down to respond loudly.

Immediately, he gave Zhu Chongjiu a gift, asking the other party to lend him two fast horses, so that he could take turns riding on the way back, and rushed to Xuzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you for the general manager's concern, when the last general used to live on the green forest road, he often rode a horse to escape, and it was common to run for a few days and nights in a row, as long as there was no one to stop him along the way, he could sleep directly on the saddle, and the brothers took turns to recognize the way." Li Xixi gritted his teeth and responded strongly.

When he came, in order to save time, he chose to ride a horse instead of a boat, and he didn't close his eyes for two days and one night, and then caught up for two days and one night after he went back, even if it was an iron body, he had to toss and fall apart, but at the moment in Xuzhou City, there are brothers who usually eat in a pot, and he really didn't dare to let everyone even take the slightest precaution to face the hundreds of thousands of troops who had escaped, not to mention that when he kowtowed to Fu Youde, he also swore that he could not be born on the same day of the same year, the same month, but he would like to die on the same day of the same month and the same year, So even if there is still the last breath left, the news of Tokhtar's southward journey must be sent back first.

Seeing that Li Xixi was so loyal to Zhao Junyong, Zhu Chongjiu was very moved, thought about it, and said loudly, "I'll give you nine good horses, you and your guards, three each, and give you a waist card. ”

"Thank you to the chief manager, if the chief manager is useful to the last general in the future, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, the last general will not dare to resign." When Li Xi heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Chongjiu heavily.

"Arise, you are a good man, and the man has gold under his knees." Zhu Chongjiu stepped forward again, grabbed Li Xixi with both hands, and then turned his head to Xu Hongsan and ordered, "You send twenty brothers with the best riding skills to escort them all the way to Huai'an, give him the scout long waist card of our Huai'an army, and send someone to send a message to Hu Dahai by the way, so that he can prepare for battle immediately." ”

"Yes." Xu Hong agreed loudly, took Li Xixi's arm from Zhu Chongjiu's hand, and helped the latter to walk out quickly.

Li Xixi staggered to follow, and in a blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared outside the meeting hall, Zhu Chongjiu withdrew his gaze from the door, pondered for a moment, walked to the handsome case, and drew an arrow, "Zhu Qiang, the commander of the water division." ”

"The end will be." Zhu Qiang stood up and strode forward to listen to the dispatch.

"Send the two fastest boats to patrol the Yellow River, and if the enemy situation is present, return to Huai'an immediately to warn." Zhu Chongjiu raised the arrow and commanded loudly.

"The last will obey." Zhu Qiang took another half step forward and stretched out his hands to receive the arrow.

Zhu Chongjiu did not immediately hand over the arrow to him, but thought about it and continued to instruct: "Mobilize all the warships of the naval division, from now on, strengthen the patrol on the river, if there are soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, if they can be sunk, sink them for me immediately, if they really can't be stopped, don't fall in love with the war, be sure to send the news back to Yangzhou as soon as possible." ”、

"This." Zhu Qiang was stunned, and was disappointed in his heart, although the number of sailors under his command was only more than 3,000, but there were more than 20 warships, and each ship was equipped with two types of artillery, four catties and six catties.

"Don't think it's an easy task." Zhu Chongjiu guessed what the other party thought, smiled, and added with a straight face, "Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou have just gained a foothold in Jiangnan, and they may not be able to entangle Dong Junxiao, and the one surnamed Dong is looking forward to it everywhere, and this time he will definitely cooperate fully with the detachment to the south, especially after learning that our main forces are going north to face the battle, there is a good chance that eight (nine) out of ten will hit the side of Yangzhou City." ”

"If he dares to come, he will not be able to come and go." Zhu Qiang immediately had the spirit, took the general's order, and responded through gritted teeth.

"If you can stop him, try to stop him, and if you can't stop him, let him go ashore." Zhu Chongjiu was not very confident in the sailor who had just changed to an imitation Arabian dhow, nodded and smiled to relieve pressure on Zhu Qiang, "After letting him go ashore, if you can cut off his grain route, it is better than fighting with him directly on the river, go, go and prepare immediately, I will wait for your good news." ”

"Yes." Zhu Qiang saluted and strode back.

"The commander of the Fourth Army, Wu Xuyu." Zhu Chongjiu immediately raised the second arrow and shouted loudly.

"The end will be." Wu Twenty-two strode forward and bowed to wait.

"The Fourth Army stays in Yangzhou, and in addition, the defense of the entire Yangzhou Road is also handed over to you."

"The last will obey." Wu Twenty-two did not hesitate to take the arrow and responded loudly, "If there is any omission, the last general is willing to come and see him." ”

"I don't want your head, but before I come back, you must ensure that Yangzhou City, Jiangwan Base, and Haimen Port do not fall into the hands of foreign enemies, otherwise, you will die a hundred times, and you will not be able to atone for your sins." Zhu Chongjiu thought about it and emphasized.

"The last will understand." Wu Twenty-two nodded solemnly, took the arrow, and turned around and exited the door.

"The commander of the Third Army, Xu Tiande." Zhu Chongjiu's eyes quickly swept over the faces of the generals, raised the third arrow in his hand, and called out to one of his most reassuring generals, "You go down immediately to prepare, carry ten days of grain and grass baggage, and when you are ready, go out immediately, as the vanguard of the whole army, go to support Xuzhou, remember, if you are not absolutely sure, do not act rashly." ”

"Rest assured, the last general will never dare to live up to your trust." Xu Da stepped forward quickly, took the order, and then trotted out to make preparations for the expedition together with Wang Dapang, the deputy commander of the Third Army, Li Ziyu and others.

"Liu Ziyun, deputy commander of the First Army, Wu Liangmou, commander of the Fifth Army, the two of you will immediately take people down to prepare, and after the grain, grass and baggage are loaded onto the ship, they will immediately go with me to support Xuzhou." Zhu Chongjiu picked up the fourth arrow and continued to dispatch troops.

Liu Ziyun and Wu Liangmou also received the arrows, leading the generals under their respective commands to withdraw quickly, and the hall was immediately half empty, Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment, and 6 continued to pull out the fifth, sixth, and seventh arrows, and handed them to Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, Huang Laowei, the director of the Industrial Bureau, Lu Kun, the director of the School Bureau, and Shi Nai'an, the head of the Xuezheng Shi, so that the four of them could cooperate with each other, and after the army came out, continue to carry out the reconstruction of Yangzhou City, the opening of new workshops, and the preparation of this year's scientific expedition, etc., try not to let the operation of internal affairs be troubled by the war, and then, grabbed the eighth arrow and handed it directly to Mr. Su, who was closest to him, "Su Changshi, it's still the same, after I go on the expedition, all the military and political affairs of Huaiyang will be handed over to you." ”

"Weichen, even if Weichen is shattered, he will never dare to live up to the trust of the lord." Mr. Su stood up and received the order with red eyes, his ability was limited, and he was becoming more and more unsuitable for the position of Changshi, and he had proposed to resign several times, asking Zhu Chongjiu to find another meritocracy to take over, but Zhu Chongjiu never agreed, leaving the second position of the Huaiyang Department to him, so that his power always rose with the development of the Great Governor's Mansion.

Zhu Chongjiu smiled at him, and instructed earnestly, "You have high prestige and high qualifications, it is most suitable for me to stay behind, if there is anything that cannot be solved, discuss with Robben and a few of them, you must know that no matter how great a person's ability is, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, but with the strength of everyone, you can do things more securely." ”

Mr. Su knew that his lord was reminding him not to make the mistake of seizing power, so he quickly nodded and agreed, "Wechen has written it down, don't worry, Wechen knows what he is." ”

"I've always been reassured of you." Zhu Chongjiu nodded, smiled and encouraged, and then called Jiao Yu, the director of the Engineering Institute, Yu Changlin, the director of the Commercial Bureau, and some civilian staff, and explained the key points that needed to be paid attention to recently, and then turned his attention to Zhang Song, the former prefect of Luzhou, who had just defected last year, "You have to hurry up the formation of the Internal Security Department, and in the recent past, the focus has been on the heads of the traders who have entered and exited the three places in Huaiyang, and I estimate that once the imperial court can't win on the battlefield, it will try to start from within us." ”

"Yes." Zhang Song took the order and bowed down to receive the order, he has a feminine nature, and he has been rolling in the officialdom for a long time, and he is most suitable for doing some "dirty work", and after Zhu Chongjiu accepted his defection last year, he immediately thought of a suitable position, that is, the secret establishment of the Internal Security Department of the Great Governor's Office, which is specially used to deal with the spies of all parties who have infiltrated the Huaiyang area, as well as to investigate the integrity of officials.

"Over there, Deputy Gang Leader, send another sum of money." Waving his hand to let Zhang Song leave, Zhu Chongjiu instructed Chen Ji, who joined the army, "When this battle is over, you will be in charge of the intelligence department of the group, which will be responsible for spying on the enemy and transmitting news to the outside world. ”

"Minister, obey." Chen Ji was overjoyed, took the order arrow, and reached the ground, he and Ye Dexin, Robben relied on the results of the last imperial examination, and entered the shogunate on the same day, and now Robben and Ye Dexin are both local officials, only he is still continuing to experience in the position of joining the army, if you want to say that you are not in a hurry, it is a swollen face and a fat man, and now you finally have the opportunity to take charge of yourself, how can you not firmly grasp it in your hands and strive to stand out as soon as possible.

Seeing that there were no more people left in the council hall, Zhu Chongjiu thought about it, and was about to tell everyone to go back to rest, but who expected Zhang Yi, who was sitting behind Chen Ji, secretly glanced at Song Ke, stood up, and said loudly, "Lord, the minister has some words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Let's say, let's talk as much as we want when we are discussing matters, but once the decision is made, whether it is for or against, we must do our best to implement it." Zhu Chongjiu turned his head back and encouraged with a smile,
