Chapter 113: Return to Fushun
Wu Shihan was sent to the post house by Shen Jia in the evening to rest, and when he left, Wu Shihan refused to let Shen Jia leave. Shen Jia understands that this is a feeling of helplessness caused by the patient's psychology and is in urgent need www.biquge.info of care. Helpless, Shen Jia had no choice but to send He Chun to the Yamen of Jingluo Mansion to deliver a letter, saying that he occasionally felt a cold and would come to visit Lord Yuan tomorrow, and Shen Jia also handed over the matter of boiling medicine to He Chun to command.
Returning to Wu Shihan's side, the maid Xiaotao was helping her wipe her face. After being sick for a few days, Wu Shihan was a little haggard, and his eyes had lost their brightness of the past. Seeing this, the maid Xiaotao hurriedly withdrew with interest.
The once strong girl, but at this time she cried like a tearful person, Shen Jia couldn't bear it, hugged her tightly in her arms, wiped away her tears, Shen Jia asked softly: "How do you feel now, is your body still weak?" ”
Wu Shihan nodded, and seeing Shen Jia looking at him intently, Wu Shihan's pale face suddenly flushed with a faint flush. Wu Shihan struggled, got up from Shen Jia's arms, walked to a box, and tried to open it. It's just that the sick body is weak, and I can't open the lid of the box after trying it once. Shen Jia came over and helped her open the lid.
Wu Shihan took out a package from the box, and after opening it, it was a Tsing Yi long shirt. Wu Shihan said: "I've been idle these days, I've made a dress for you, can you try it to fit?" After that, Wu Shihan coughed repeatedly, and the panicked Shen Jia was excited while helping her stroke her back.
"You're still sick, don't worry, I'll help you to bed first."
Wu Shihan was lying on the bed, Shen Jia touched her forehead, and found that the fever had subsided, but it would take a few days to cough. The night was thick, the breeze was blowing, and the sound of leaves could be heard outside the window from time to time. Wu Shihan moved his body inward, and said shyly: "You come to sleep, you are tired after a day's journey." ”
Shen Jia was stunned, and suddenly felt that Wu Shihan under the candlelight was pretty, and she was particularly beautiful, Shen Jia asked, "Are you not afraid of other people's gossip?" ”
"Hmph, where do you want to go, I just saw that you have been working hard for days, and I want you to lie down and chat with me, you are really not ashamed."
Hey, you little girl, you're lying on your bed, it's your reason to go back and forth, Shen Jia couldn't cry or laugh.
Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Jia personally visited Yuan Yingtai. The people of Jingluo Mansion were panicked, and when they entered the door, the servant looked at Shen Jia with complicated eyes, and waited for a long time before going in to report.
finally entered the hall and found that Yuan Yingtai, who was high-spirited in the past, was a little depressed. Shen Jia stepped forward lightly and bowed over, but saw Yuan Yingtai, who was haggard, said in a hoarse voice: "How is the capital?" It's good for you to come back, it's good to come back. ”
Shen Jia was taken aback by this old man's actions, so he tried to say: "Lord Yuan, Tieling is just a repetition, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why should Lord Yuan be so concerned?" ”
Yuan Yingtai raised his head, took a sip of sake, and stared at the outside of the house for a long time. Yuan Yingtai asked, "You must already know about the affairs of the capital, right?" ”
"Beijing? When I came, the emperor and the ministers were discussing how to stabilize the situation and find an opportunity to fight back. ”
Yuan Yingtai smiled bitterly and said: "I forgot about this stubble, you kid is busy on the road and doesn't know anything about the capital." During the days when you left, the people in the capital were furious and unanimously demanded that the old man be replaced, and the old man seemed to be unable to sit still for long. ”
Shen Jia frowned slightly, even if Yuan Yingtai was not good, he was also a reasonable person. After a new position, I have to run in again, and I am afraid that I will regain right and wrong. Shen Jia asked, "Does Lord Jingluo have any ideas?" ”
"My thoughts are not important, the key is the emperor and the cabinet, the old man is beaten by thousands of people, and all the young people want to take the old man as a pawn, how can the old man become their stepping stone."
Looking at Yuan Yingtai, who was still a little decadent just now, Shen Jia was quite puzzled, this was not quite like the way a depressed person spoke.
"Lord Yuan, you don't have to go around in circles with the boy, I'm not a civil official, you talk in a fog, it will make me dizzy, just say it."
"Hmph, if you kid dares to be presumptuous in front of the old man, look at which official in Liaodong is like you. There are so many officials in Liaodong, the old man treats you differently, why don't you help the old man take Tieling back? ”
After hearing this, Shen Jia's face immediately turned red, shook his head and muttered: "No, no, I am only fifteen years old this year, and I am still underage, this kind of military affairs, you told me in vain." The soldiers are in danger, and it is as easy as Lord Jinglu said to seize Tieling. ”
"Bastard, I am here again, the idea of conquering Fushun and seizing Tieling, do you think the old man doesn't know that it was you, what's wrong with fifteen years old, put it in the guannei, the children are a lot, and I am embarrassed to say that I am underage, touch your stinky face, I am about to catch up with the thickness of the root of the city wall."
Yuan Yingtai was furious, foaming at the mouth, and sprinkled all his anger on Shen Jia. Shen Jia had a bitter face, didn't say a word, and said in his heart Who did I provoke, I have to suffer this crime. After scolding for a long time, Yuan Yingtai was tired after all, he sat down and let out a long sigh, looking quite sad.
Shen Jia couldn't bear it, and said: "Lord Yuan, you used to organize the people to build water conservancy and persuade farmers to teach agriculture, and the official reputation is excellent, this Liaodong is a mud pit, why do you have to wade in this mud pit, with the current situation of adults, maybe change places, maybe there is something else." ”
"The rule of eating, the matter of loyalty, if everyone is as picky and selective as you, the day will be over, and you will slip away when you see difficulties, do you like to be a person who has no responsibility?"
Yuan Yingtai's words were full of righteousness, but he deliberately ridiculed Shen Jia, and the angry Shen Jia smoked, and said in his heart why he was cheap, he had to talk to this old stubborn, and was ridiculed by the old stubborn, as if he was great and upright, and he was full of villains.
Shen Jia decided to shut up, and let Yuan Yingtai vent his dissatisfaction by talking to himself. The play that no one cooperated with couldn't be performed, Yuan Yingtai turned around, only to see Shen Jia sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. After saying a lot just now, Yuan Yingtai was tired and out of breath, but when he saw that the only audience was in his left ear and out of his right ear, Yuan Yingtai suddenly had a feeling of playing the piano with a cow.
"Stinky boy, you are young, but you don't know how to be motivated, now the state affairs are erosive, I can't sleep at night, you kid still has the heart to go through the motions, you...
Shen Jia was tossed by Yuan Yingtai to death and come back to life, but he couldn't splash on Jing Liu, so in desperation, he had to ask with a bitter face: "Lord Jing Luo, just say it directly, what do you want me to do?" It's too rare to forget it, you know, I'm just a guard. ”
"Take Tieling!"
"Lord Yuan, you think too highly of me."
"Nonsense, don't think that the old man doesn't know what you said in the capital, but when you get to the old man, you pretend to be cautious, what do you think? The old man treats you well, why do you want to fool the old man? ”
Shen Jia looked embarrassed, but he didn't expect the Donglin Party members in the capital to send the content of the court discussion to Yuan Yingtai, and Daming is really transparent about the government's work. Shen Jia wanted to avoid Yuan Yingtai from the bottom of his heart, not that this person had bad qualities, but that Yuan Yingtai liked to meddle in the details of military affairs, which was a big taboo. Shen Jia's future plan is thrilling and long, and there is no room for mistakes, if Yuan Yingtai intervenes halfway, the plan is likely to fall short, which is why Shen Jia is tight-lipped about Yuan Yingtai.
"My lord, you must already know what I said in the capital, that's right, Tieling can be won, but I haven't thought about the details and plans yet. I have been away for a while, and I lack understanding of the actual situation in Fushun and Tieling, and I need to discuss with Lord Chen and He Shuai after I go back, and I will definitely report to Lord Yuan when the time comes. ”
Seeing Shen Jia say this, Yuan Yingtai's face softened slightly, and then he ordered his subordinates to serve tea. After grinding his mouth for so long, Shen Jia was also thirsty, so he took a sip of tea, but he was burned and screamed. Looking at the embarrassed Shen Jia, Yuan Yingtai laughed a few times.
After staying in Liaoyang for a day, Shen Jia touched Wu Shihan's forehead, and saw that her high fever had completely subsided, and her cough was slightly relieved under Lang Zhong's conditioning, Shen Jia decided to continue walking. Most of the sick soldiers had made a preliminary recovery, which made Shen Jia feel comfortable. Before leaving, Shen Jia hired three more carriages for the seriously ill soldiers to rest in the carriages, while the others continued to ride towards Shenyang.
The prefect Chen Fuke has been transferred to Yan'an Mansion, and the new prefect has not yet taken office. Shen Jia, accompanied by Tong Zhonghua, drove out the paratrooper chariot. This was discussed with Yuan Yingtai before leaving. In order to support Shen Jia to recover Tieling, Yuan Yingtai invested a lot of money this time and returned the paratrooper chariot to Shen Jia. A large oxen-drawn cart was ready, and twenty oxen, dragging an eight-ton paratrooper chariot, were also at ease. After staying in Shenyang for half a day, Shen Jia hurried to Fushun.
On the afternoon of July 19, Shen Jia returned to Fushun. After unloading the assault vehicle and paratrooper chariot in the warehouse, Shen Jia hurried to the command post in the city with He Shixian's personal soldiers.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Jia heard He Shixian's hearty laughter.
"Shen Shinephew, your aunt has sent a letter, and she is very satisfied with you and Miss Qing."
Listening to He Shixian's hearty laughter, Shen Jia was also infected, and grinned: "That's it, the little nephew will give big gifts when he meets people, he is polite, and he can speak well, how can he lose Uncle He's face." ”
"Hey, you stinky boy, give you three points of color, and you will be dyed red, the matter of the Qinglou, Zhengting told me, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back."
Chen Ce suddenly interjected: "You just came back, I wanted you to rest and rest, but the current situation is delicate, let's discuss and discuss first, and make a plan as soon as possible. ”
Shen Jia nodded and asked, "How did Tieling lose it?" Do you know the details? ”
"I know a little, but I don't know very well, according to the rout soldiers who fled back, the Tartars attacked overnight, and broke through the city gate in less than an hour, and it seems that they still used powder kegs, which is exactly the same as the last time when they guarded Fushun, the east gate was breached. For the first time, the two general soldiers found that the Tartars were so familiar with gunpowder that after the city was broken, they didn't even have time to organize street battles. ”
Shen Jia was slightly frightened, the use of gunpowder by Tatars in history has always been cringe. After Mao Wenlong, the commander of the Dongjiang River, was killed, his subordinates defected to Houjin, and Houjin used gunpowder on a larger scale. This strange situation is unheard of today.
"Master Chen, how much gunpowder was lost in Jifeng Fort at that time? Do you have detailed statistics? ”
He Shigong hesitated for a moment, and said curtly: "I really don't know this, I'm afraid I can only ask Zhu Wanliang specifically." ”
The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, You Shigong sat on the side, and Zhang Shi and Qi Jin kept drinking tea one after another. Several of them were thinking hard and meditating, wanting to launch a quick attack on Fushun with insufficient troops, which was difficult for some strongmen.
After waiting for a while, Shen Jia asked, "Master Chen, in the direction of Tieling and Salhu City, what is the current situation?" ”
"According to the spies, the Tieling Tartars were anxious to hold on, and they searched everywhere for the people, dug moats, trenches, and repaired and raised the city walls. The Tartars in the direction of Salhu City are also unable to shrink, and they can't see their intentions at present, but your team has been very active recently, and they have approached Salhu City twice. ”
Shen Jia frowned, and thought for a long time before saying, "Master Chen, I can't see any way in the current situation, or we will fight, maybe the other party can show some flaws." ”
"How? In the battle of Tieling, the Ming army suffered great losses, and the current offensive and defensive balance was broken, we can hold Shen, Fu is already good, and the enemy in the direction of Salhu has too much control on us, Fushun is sandwiched between Tieling and Salhu, and the danger is full of dangers, what can you do, you might as well talk about it. ”
When everyone heard that Shen Jia was going to fight, their eyes immediately lit up, and they all looked at Shen Jia. Shen Jia was a little embarrassed, touched his head and said with a smile: "Master Chen, leave this to me for the time being, I will first test it in the direction of Salhu, you guys prepare it, maybe we can find out something." ”
"Okay, you kid slippery, I hope this time you can do what you said, if you need anything, you can find the old man and General He, if you don't have enough cavalry, go to General You and General Zhang, they will help you."
chatted with Chen Ce from Fushun to Tieling, and from Tieling to the newly appointed Dongjiang General Mao Wenlong, and even mentioned the Horqin Mongol cavalry who helped the battle when Tieling broke the city.
