In the yamen of the governor of Shandong, the meeting of officers with troops at all levels was held again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The telegram sent by Chen Wuwei has been published in the newspaper, and the officers with the troops know that Mrs. Songjiang, who is handsome, has been invited to the God of Wealth, and then looking at the gloomy face of the handsome, everyone consciously speaks softly, so as not to anger the chief.

Zhao Guanhou looked at everyone, and his tone was not in a hurry, "I don't need to say the situation, everyone must have a number in their hearts, save my tongue, let's just talk about the arrangement." The old marshal ordered our troops to enter Anhui Province and sweep away the Huaishang army. These hungry soldiers are vulnerable to a single battle. The Huai army suppressed the long hair, produced a lot of rich people, and hit Anhui, and we can share the wealth of those people. However, it is not a one-shot job to solve them, if you want to solve these people, you will have to delay my time to save my own woman, so I will tell you that I will not go to Anhui Province. ”

He looked below, no one spoke, and said: "I also know that Lianghuai has strong troops, Huizhou has the savings of merchants, and Anhui controls the two provinces, which is a unique treasure land. It is very attractive to everyone, Yu Gong, and it is very beneficial to our group. Saving my aunt and wife is my own private business. Even if it is Zhengyuan Bank, it is not necessary for her, if she is left alone, it is not difficult to find someone else to manage the bank. But his wife was arrested, and the husband had to save her, which is the biggest truth in the world! Even if I harm the public because of my own interests, I will lead troops to Jiangning. This is my decision, which cannot be changed, and I will only talk about the arrangement. Mei Yao, your cavalry must follow me south, as for the other troops, I don't force it, everyone decides where to go. If you want to lead troops into Anhui, I will never say a word, and if you want to lead troops to attack Jiangning with me, I will say a word of thanks. It is a matter of future and interests, and everyone makes their own decisions. ”

Sun Meiyao gave a military salute, "The cavalry mark is your basic unit, where you point, our horse's hooves will step on the land, and the saber will cut off his head." Fighting Jiangning, our cavalry has a standard package. ”

Zhang Huaizhi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you really can't handle this matter." The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is vertical and horizontal, and it is not a place for cavalry. What's more, the stone city is strong, and the water used in the city wall is made of stone and glutinous rice juice, which may not be bombarded with artillery, and the cavalry does not care what it is for. If you want to open Stone Town, you have to have a flowering cannon. The marshal started with the artillery mark, and when it comes to the basic troops, your cavalry has to give way to the side, and this battle is to see the artillery mark. ”

He smiled left and right, "I'm sorry, everyone, I've got this fight." We don't have any ambitions, now we have food and drink, our life is very comfortable, and we don't want to be rich and rich, we can't afford to enjoy this life. Ren Xietong is a disciple of Huaishang, and the errand of entering Huai, or you guys, you are local, and the road is familiar. Isn't it a good thing that you might be able to stay when you get to the place? ”

Ren Sheng shook his head, "If you want to stay, we won't come to Shandong." At the beginning, we were hundreds of hungry soldiers, without food and clothing, thanks to the handsome Zhou Ji, we have today's pattern. At that time, I said that this life was sold to the marshal, not to the imperial court. What's more, the marshal is the son-in-law of our Huaijun, and if you want to say that you are close, no one can compare to this relationship. This battle is to fight for face for our Huai army, and if their Shanghai army does not look at the Huaishang children in their eyes, we have to let him see and see, our strength. This time to attack Stone City, our Ninth Association must be the vanguard! ”

Ryanstein spread his hands, "I am personally employed by His Excellency Zhao Guanhou, since he is going to rescue his wife, what reason do I have to refuse." It just so happened that my subordinates and I also wanted to evacuate our muscles and bones and teach some salted fish lessons, which was very conducive to physical and mental health. ”

Everyone was going to Jiangning, and Zhao Guanhou said: "What about Anhui?" ”

Zhang Huaizhi looked at Shang Quan, "Brother Shang, or you ......"

"Shut up, when I was in the artillery mark, you still gave me a deputy, and it wasn't your turn to send me an errand." Shang Quan's face sank, "Our second mixed association, the third association of the fifth town, I have already said this." Dashuai went to save people, we have no reason not to go, we have to go together. As for Anhui Province, it is not appropriate not to send troops, so it is enough to simply transfer a target mounted infantry and make a statement. What Ni Jichong, don't you want to ask for orders, let him take Henan soldiers into Anhui to deal with those hungry soldiers, let's go to the fifth town and the second association to touch the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army, and see who is ruthless! ”

Zhao Guanhou hugged his fists: "Then I have to thank everyone for your support." Now that everyone has made a decision, I will prepare to send generals next, and I will order ......"

Since the troops had been prepared to go out beforehand, it was easy to move by simply changing the direction of the offensive at this time. In Shandong, an infantry standard and a gendarmerie battalion are used as the remaining troops, and the armed forces such as the police investigation and fire brigade are used to maintain the ground.

Yang Futian led an infantry target into Anhui and cooperated with Ni Jichong's troops to launch a sweeping operation against the Huaishang army. The soldiers of this target are all Huaishang's children, and they have a hometown friendship with the Huaishang army, and they are familiar with both people and land, which is convenient for carrying out their work. Even recruiting Raff is easier than outsiders. For mobility, the infantry was each equipped with a soft horse for horseback infantry.

Ryan Stein led the foreign soldiers of his headquarters, a baggage battalion, and a gendarmerie battalion to board a ship from Yantai and sail on Albiang's warship to Songjiang. The rest of the troops, Zhao Guanhou contacted the wagons, and went south along the Jinpu line, pointing directly at Pukou.

Ah Jiu also knew the news of Chen Lenghe's kidnapping, his eyes were red from crying, and he took Zhao Guanhou's hand and begged, "The third lady's life is so hard, don't let her go...... She was also victimized. ”

"It's getting stupider and stupider, it's really hard for you to think about it, when did I say that I wanted to take a break from the cold lotus."

"Oh...... That's good. Ah Jiu wiped his eyes, "If you take a break from Miss, Ah Jiu will be kicked out, I don't want to be driven away." Now I'm relieved, it's better to be an old man. ”

She jumped as if she was a child who had not grown up, and said, "By the way, my brother-in-law came here just now, saying that there is something very important to find you, and I want you to go to him, but don't alarm outsiders." ”

The brother-in-law she is talking about naturally refers to Xia Manjiang, although Xia has no special thoughts about Ah Jiu, but based on Qiaoyun's incense love, he takes care of him very much, and the relationship between the two is good. When Zhao Guanhou heard that Master Xia was looking for him, he didn't dare to slack off, and went straight to it.

After taking his seat, Xia Manjiang was ashamed, "Handsome, student...... It's really a bit shameless to see the handsome. At the beginning, the two unsuccessful children of the students came to defect, and I, as a father, couldn't arrange for them to be born. is still the eight lines of the handsome, sent them to Liangjiang, Zhang Zhijun took good care of them and let them be Goshha. This is a very good future, who would have thought that those two brutes would actually ...... Unexpectedly, he took revenge and voted for the Geming Party. ”

"They voted for the Geming Party, but what credentials do they have?"

"Yes, they wrote to me." Xia Manjiang did not hide it, and handed over the letters of his two sons, "These two brutes are now sentry officers in the town army, and they are in charge of more than 100 people. said that Ge Ming's army is so powerful that it will definitely be able to achieve great things this time. If you want me to recognize the form, you also want me to try to say that the handsome man is in trouble. We don't have to talk about these bastard words, it's just that since the big marshal wants to go to Jiangning to save people, these two brutes are useful. ”

Xia Manjiang pointed to the letter: "Their sentinel is the squad of the original governor of Liangjiang, anyway, after that, it was not adapted, and it was directly incorporated into the town army." Now let them stay at the Taiping Gate, if the marshal wants to enter the city, these two brutes may be able to do their part for the marshal, and it can be regarded as their repayment of the marshal's recommendation. Moreover, the Ge Ming Party is an anti-thief after all, how can it last for a long time, sooner or later, the world will still be in the court. When the time comes, these two bastards won't even be able to keep their heads, and I will only have these two sons, hoping to find a way back for them. If they can open the door and respond internally, the handsome will look at the thin face of the students, protect their lives, and then give them a future, and the students will be relieved. ”

"Whether Ge Mingjun can succeed, let's not mention it first, I'm just a little worried, two sons, can I listen to you?"

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I, as a father, can still manage them, if I say a word, they don't dare not listen. Although my son is unfaithful, he is not unfilial. Besides, they were not satisfactory in the town army, and it was written in the letter that the town army was not at ease with them, and did not let them guard the key position, but only guarded the city gate. And if you don't give a reward, it's far less than the wishful life you had when you were a team under Zhang Zhijun. Let me persuade the commander to raise an army, just to earn some credit for myself, and let me help them find a way to get a sum of money. The officers who lead the troops have to find a way to get money at home, and the brothers below must be very bitter. With the prestige of the great commander, and the money we gave him, I think it will not be difficult to convince them to submit."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and thanked him, Xia Manjiang had already written the letter, Zhao Guanhou took it with him, and said goodbye. When he returned home, Han Zhi had already prepared a banquet and was ready to serve him. Because it was to save Chen Lenghe, except for Sun Meiyao, none of the rest of the women participated.

Han Zhi simply called all the female dependents to his room and saw off Zhao Guanhou, Cuiyu hugged Tianfu, very reluctant, and whispered: "If you rescue the person, place her in Shandong." Mrs. Songjiang, how can the family have a reason to divide several places, just live with us, see each other, and save her from making any more trouble. ”

"What, jealous?"

"No...... Just a little touched. Anhui is such a good place, if you say don't want it for her, you don't want it. I can be for her today, and tomorrow for us, at least I know that my husband will not sacrifice our wives and concubines for the sake of fame and fortune, or for the righteousness of the family and country, and my heart is indeed very happy. But I also hope that you can stay by my side, accompany me, and accompany my son...... Weighing the two phases, I can only hope that you bring her back and bring her to Shandong, at least she is in Shandong, and you will not go far. ”

Zhao Guanhou took his son with a smile and kissed Cuiyu on the face, "Don't worry, she is not in Shandong, and I won't go far." Whether it's Leng He or any of you, if you encounter a similar situation, I will bring people and horses to kill them. Besides, this time entering Jiangsu is also an opportunity, although it is easy to fight Anhui, but the impact is also limited. In the current situation, the people's hearts are no longer on the side of the imperial court, and Anhui will be thrown away sooner or later, which is nothing more than a tug-of-war. It's better to take Stone Town in a battle and let the world know that Fifth Town is not a character to mess with. One punch is opened, and a hundred punches are avoided, and whoever wants to be unfavorable to Shandong in the future will have to weigh his own weight. ”

Yuqing was very excited, drank a few glasses of wine, her jade face turned red, and gently patted the table with her hand, "Jiangning is a good place, Jiangdong is kingly, all belong to him." Although after the Hongyang rebellion, it has now recovered its vitality and is the first capital in the southeast. Guanhou, we will occupy Jiangning, and no one will give it to us, so our family will move to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang to live. At that time, we will be the Governor of Liangjiang, the General of Jiangning, and the Governor of Jiangnan, and the entire southeast will be ours sooner or later. ”

The significance of Jiangning is not trivial, and it can be used as a parallel existence with the capital, and it is not surprising that Yuqing has special feelings for it. As long as Zhao Guanhou occupies Jiangning and then transfers the Qiren clan to Jiangning, in fact, in the future, he can compete with the forces in the capital, like a southeastern ******. Referring to the story of the Jin and Song dynasties, it is possible to establish a country in Jiangning and call it a lonely country, and continue to confront the north for a long time, continuing the Great Jin Emperor.

Zhao Guanhou understood Yuqing's intentions, but it was inconvenient to explain the point, so he just didn't know and dealt with it vaguely. Cheng Yue suddenly got up and gave Zhao Guanhou a glass of wine, she has been a vegetarian for many years, but she also made an exception to accompany her, and said tremblingly: "Master, can you be a concubine...... Going with you? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Guanhou to answer, Feng Zhi immediately said: "Okay, if you go with you, I will go with you, just let us go as a family." Really, Sister Hanzhi said that this time I am going to fight, not to play, when you get there, will you take care of you or the battlefield! ”

"No...... I didn't mean that, I mean, I can help. ”

Cheng Yue looked at Zhao Guanhou a little timidly, and saw that he didn't scold, so she continued: "The concubine is an elder in the family, and she once followed Wen Zhenggong to cut down the long hair, and she is one of the subordinates of the first nine generals. On the same day, the nine marshals attacked Jiangning, and the hundred ways attacked the city, most of which were hidden and not sent, and the places where the mines and gunpowder were buried, the concubines knew a little bit about them. If...... If it can be used, maybe Jiang Ning will also be easy to attack some ......."

Aici shook Zhao Guanhou's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, take your mother, take your mother, your mother cried again last night." ”

Zhao Guanhou picked up his daughter and said to Cheng Yue: "It's not that I don't want to take you there, but you know, the soldiers are in danger, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger." I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you, and whoever you are shot and injured will not be happy in my heart. Even I myself was not sure that I would be able to get out of it without being injured. ”

"The concubine is not afraid!" Cheng Yue plucked up her courage, "The concubine is willing to fight side by side with her husband, if there is really any danger, let the concubine block a bullet for you first." ”

Su Hanzhi hurriedly said: "Okay, Guanhou, don't be stubborn, since Sister Cheng Yue can help, take her with you, there are people who can serve you on the road." But Ai Ci stayed, she was so young, she was not allowed to go to the battlefield. Be careful, no one will be hurt......"

The train of the road bureau was prepared before, carrying heavy grain and grass, horses and equipment, all loaded onto the train, the chariot roared, murderous, nearly 20,000 fully armed elites left Shandong, in the direction of Pukou, roaring away.

At the same time, within the main mansion of Ge Mingjun, it has just been discussed and decided to take Jiangning as the capital and establish a country, and only wait for Mr. Sun Dixiang to arrive, and immediately hold a founding ceremony. A new country is about to be born, but the noose that strangled him is also quietly coming. (To be continued.) )
