Chapter 488: Wang Shouren's Advice

Wang Shouren sat in the canopy boat, looking at the boats passing on both sides of the canal, and his heart was extremely heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

He had already read the imperial court's newspaper and read Xie Shen's letter. Unexpectedly, in the end, the Son of Heaven actually issued a decree and urgently transferred him to Hangzhou.

Regarding King Ning's rebellion, Wang Shouren was naturally very shocked.

But after being shocked, he began to think about how to respond.

There is no doubt that the Son of Heaven must have transferred him to Hangzhou in the hope that he would be able to play a role. Whether it is leading troops or making suggestions, Wang Shouren must be different from others.

I don't know when Wang Shouren felt that Xie Shen was the savior of the Ming Dynasty.

Open the sea ban, clear the land, change the commercial tax, and train the new army......

All of these things are good things for the benefit of the country and the people.

Even if you only make one, you can live forever.

In the matter of the New Deal, Wang Shouren firmly stood on Xie Shen's side and acted as a pawn for him.

In the matter of counterinsurgency, Wang Shouren will not hesitate to let the Son of Heaven and Xie Shen dispatch.

The Ming Dynasty just had a new atmosphere, but King Ning rebelled at this time, didn't he want to destroy all good things?

King Ning's banner is that today's son is arrogant and lascivious, isn't King Ning arrogant and lascivious?

If King Ning wins the world, he can guarantee that he will not forget his original intention and do better than today?

Wang Shouren was also hesitant and desperate for a time. Because it is indeed a bit ridiculous today, but since Xie Shen pushed the New Deal, his hesitation has disappeared.

In his opinion, as long as there is Xie Shen and Xie Jinxiu, the king's private virtue is not decisive.

The king is naturally diligent in government, even if the king is absurd and neglectful, with Xie Shen in the cabinet, the sky of the Ming Dynasty will not collapse.

Not only will the sky of Daming not fall, but Daming will become more and more prosperous!

"Master, it's time to Hangzhou!"

The waterway is getting narrower and narrower, and before you know it, the canopy boat has traveled to the water gate of Hangzhou.

Wang Shouren straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice: "When you enter the city, you will go to the guild hall to live first, and then I will go to meet the Son of Heaven." ”

Wang Shouren didn't know what the role that the Son of Heaven and Xie Shen had arranged for him, but he had to meet him first.

"Yes."

The servant said respectfully.

The boat marched through the Water Gate into Hangzhou Mansion and stopped at a pier not far from the city gate.

Wang Shouren settled the silver of the ship and jumped off the boat first.

Hangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Only this time, what he saw was very different.

After careful calculation, the last time he came to Hangzhou was more than ten years ago with Xie Shen.

It's been more than ten years since I came back this time.

Wang Shouren found a place to live in the Yuyao Hall in the city, changed into a set of official robes, and went straight to the governor's yamen.

Walking in front of the governor's yamen, seeing all the brocade guards standing with knives, Wang Shouren couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Wai Lang, a member of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of Ministers, begs to see Your Majesty!"

After returning to Beijing as a Huating County Commander, Wang Shouren was promoted by the Son of Heaven to be a member of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War.

It's a first-class difference.

No one in the world knows that the Wenxuan and Examination Divisions of the Ministry of Officials, and the Military Selection and Arsenal Divisions of the Ministry of War are the four major differences, and countless people want to enter these four divisions after breaking their heads.

It is said that the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War is responsible for the selection, promotion, promotion, and reward and punishment of military attachΓ©s. Therefore, countless military attaches will send carbon and ice tribute to the military selection division and the chief in order to be taken care of.

The Son of Heaven handed over such an important position to Wang Shouren, naturally believing that with Wang Shouren's private virtues, he would not do such a thing as greedy ink and enriching himself.

At present, the governor's yamen has been used as the palace of the Son of Heaven, and everything naturally has to be done in accordance with the rules and etiquette.

The first brocade-clothed guard Qianhu said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, wait a while, Rong will go to report to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Shouren simply closed his eyes to recuperate.

After some time, Wang Shouren heard a sound of footsteps.

He opened his eyes to look, only to see a familiar figure in front of him.

"Siming!"

Wang Shouren stepped forward excitedly and said, "Why are you also here as governor... In the palace. ”

Xie Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and if you want to keep me by your side, I will live in a separate set of courtyards." In this way, His Majesty summons, I can arrive at any time. ”

"I see!"

Wang Shouren nodded.

"Brother Shouren came fast enough this time, there should be no stop on the road, right?"

"This kind of big thing happened, how dare you stop for my brother."

"Don't talk about this, Your Majesty summons, you go and see the driver."

"Hmm."

Wang Shouren answered, and followed Xie Shen into the governor's yamen.

The two walked through the courtyard all the way, bypassed a pool of clear water and a rockery, and finally walked to the front of the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

Xie Shen took a breath and admonished: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't." ”

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Thank you Siming for the point." ”

With the screaming chanting of the imperial eunuch Zhang Yong, Wang Shouren stepped into the house.

At this moment, Zhengde was looking at the map hanging on the wall, and his expression was extremely cold.

"Wang Shouren, a member of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of Ministers, knocks on Your Majesty."

Wang Shouren pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to make a big salute, which was waiting for Zhengde's order.

The Son of Heaven is benevolent and righteous, and he is exempted from the etiquette of bowing in front of several old gentlemen, but other courtiers still have to salute.

Zhu Houzhao turned around, raised his hand and said, "Flatten." ”

Only then did Wang Shouren stand up and stand respectfully with his hands tied.

"There's no need to be so restrained, I won't eat you."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Did it go well along the way?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister took a boat from Beijing to Hangzhou, and the journey went smoothly."

"Well, that's good. Actually, Xie Ge Lao asked me to invite you here. He said that you are of great use to quell the rebellion against the Ning King Thieves. ”

Belch......

Wang Shouren was speechless for a while. Although he had already guessed that this was Xie Shen's idea, he didn't expect Xie Shen to praise him like this.

"The minister must do his best to serve His Majesty!"

"Don't die or live at every turn, how unlucky. Besides, which of you civilian commanders really got a hair wounded? ”

Wang Shouren's cheeks turned red when Emperor Zhengde said it, and he immediately lowered his head to look at his nose and nose.

"Okay, since you're here, let's talk about how this King Ning's rebellion was put down?"

Wang Shouren has already typed countless drafts, waiting for the words of the Son of Heaven.

He sorted out his clue and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, please see, after King Ning's rebel party took Nanchang, he went north to attack Jiujiang and Nankang, and now he has controlled the entire Jiangxi. ”

"I know all this, pick up the important ones."

Zhu Houzhao was slightly displeased, frowning and urging.

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "King Ning's rebels are now besieging Anqing Mansion, and there are basically no defenders in Nanchang. If Your Majesty sends a strange soldier to smash the Yellow Dragon, then King Ning will be in a dilemma! ”

Hiss! Good strategy!

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and praised: "This plan is good, Wang Qing continues!" ”

......

......

Although the strategy of smashing Huanglong is good, it also has to be considered in the long term and in detail.

It's not that Wang Shouren said that if he smashed Huanglong, Emperor Zhengde would not hesitate to raise troops to fight Nanchang.

There is no child's play in the use of soldiers, it is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers, and every detail and every possibility must be taken into account.

For example, how many people to send, who will lead the troops, and what route to take. What are the Encounter Resistance Strategies?

If there is no complete plan in advance, the army will panic when it comes to situations.

Wang Shouren had obviously made the whole plan, and after he told the emperor about the whole plan, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh that Xie Shen was really a ghost, and even the person he recommended had such talent.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao entrusted Wang Shouren with full responsibility for this plan to smash Huanglong. As for Anqing Mansion, it is naturally necessary to save it.

You can't let the rebels take Anqing, and their morale will soar, right?

On the frontal battlefield in Anqing, Zhu Houzhao decided to call Xie Shen to supervise the battle. Although Xie Shen is not a general, his grasp of the battle situation and his general strategy are far superior to others.

Moreover, Xie Shen is the most trusted person available to Zhu Houzhao now. Tell him to command the army, so that Zhu Houzhao can feel at ease.

He himself wanted to make a surprise attack on Nanchang with Wang Shouren. It's just that it's just an idea, and it hasn't been proposed. Probably Zhu Houzhao was also worried about Xie Shen and Wang Shouren's endless dissuasion.

On July 28, Xie Shen gathered a total of 50,000 officers and troops from Zhejiang Province and Nanzhili Weisu to reinforce Anqing.

Of course, this is not for show, but to defeat King Ning's rebels head-on.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao allowed Wang Shouren's invitation to attack Nanchang was not to encircle Wei to save Zhao and relieve Anqing's urgency, but to cut off King Ning's retreat.

In this way, once the imperial army gained an advantage on the frontal battlefield of Anqing Mansion, King Ning would flee in all directions like a lost wild dog.

This is exactly what Zhu Houzhao wants to see!

The more panicked King Ning became, the more excited Zhu Houzhao became. He will play with King Ning slowly like a cat catching a mouse, and will not catch King Ning until he gets tired of playing.

If King Ning escapes back to Nanchang to defend it, then the imperial court will have to spend some effort to defeat Nanchang, and the most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao's cheerful feeling is gone, this is not what he wants to see!

Xie Shen naturally understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts. In the original history, he was "letting the tiger return to the mountain" after capturing Queen Ning. After King Ning fled for a while, he collected the net and recaptured it.

From this point, it can be seen how heavy Zhu Houzhao's playfulness is, if it weren't for Xie Shen supervising him on the side, he would have developed in the direction of history long ago.

The army of 50,000 people naturally did not march too fast, but Xie Shen ordered the vanguard army to arrive in Anqing first with only ten days of rations and rush to Anqing for reinforcements, which could relieve the urgent need.

King Ning's army had already surrounded Anqing Mansion at this moment and blocked the waterway.

Therefore, Xie Shen's reinforcements could only go by land.

However, this also has the advantage of not having to directly face King Ning's sailor.

King Ning had already had the intention of rebellion, so he began to train his army very early, and the most elite of them was a sailor.

The rivers of Jiangxi are vertical and horizontal, and there are large lakes such as Poyang Lake, so it is very convenient to train water engineers.

On the other hand, in Nanzhili, Zhejiang Province and other places, because of the sea ban, the inch board is not allowed to go to the sea, resulting in the soldiers here are mostly landlubbers.

Although the sea ban has been lifted now, it has only been a few years and has not changed this embarrassment at all.

The army led by Xie Shen may not even have a tenth of the good water quality. If you really compare it to King Ning's sailor, I'm afraid that even the sailors of Anqing Mansion can't compare.

The land route to Anqing Mansion was not blocked by King Ning's rebels, so it went smoothly.

After Xie Shen led the army to Anqing City, Zhou Yuezhi, the prefect of Anqing, was moved to tears.

This old brother is bitter, he was supposed to be a prefect in the city to enjoy happiness, but King Ning slapped the table and turned his mother back.

It doesn't matter if he does this, he will suffer with Anqing Mansion.

There is no way, after King Ning left Jiangxi, he was facing Anqing Mansion.

If Anqing Mansion is not taken, the water and land arteries will be locked up very passively.

The position of Anqing Mansion was too dangerous, and King Ning had to fight for it.

But this also bought the court more time to react. As long as King Ning's troops were pinned down around Anqing Mansion, the imperial court could calmly deploy troops.

Zhou Yue, the prefect of Anqing, wanted to arrange a reception banquet for Xie Shen, but Xie Shen sternly refused.

What are you kidding, when do you still have the heart to engage in that vain brain.

Xie Shen couldn't help but doubt the character of the Zhou Governor's Mansion.

However, now is not the time to worry about these, the great enemy is at present, and we must share the same hatred.

Anqing Mansion poured into 50,000 troops at once, and the pressure was really not small, but it could barely stay.

Xie Shen took his own soldiers to live in the prefect's yamen.

After a little washing and resting, Xie Shen came to the second hall to discuss the battle situation with Governor Zhou.

The second hall was originally the office of the government, but now it is used as a temporary military and political decision-making place.

A huge map hangs on the wall, and every river channel around Anqing Mansion is clearly drawn in seconds.

Xie Shen pointed to a river bay dozens of miles outside Anqing Mansion and said: "This is a natural river bay, Xie feels that King Ning's rebels must be stationed here." ”

King Ning brought a powerful sailor, so he needed to choose a place for the warship to anchor.

Although the water system around Anqing Mansion is vertical and horizontal, there are not many river bays, and the river bays here should be the most suitable for the garrison.

"The old man of the small pavilion is wise!"

Zhou Zhifu gave a sycophant and said quietly: "But at the moment, we don't have the strength to take the initiative." ”

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "No, as long as we don't fight the rebels on the waterway, we won't be left behind." ”

Don't go head-to-head with the rebels? What kind of initiative is it called?

Governor Zhou secretly slandered.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't know these thoughts of Governor Zhou, and continued: "What this official has to do is to burn down the rebels' warships!" ”

King Ning's rebels are stronger than the sailors, as long as his warship is burned, King Ning seems to have a broken arm, and he can no longer be arrogant.

Hiss!

Governor Zhou gasped. What a ruthless mind.

If King Naning really looked for a river bay as a mooring, the warships would definitely be connected.

Xie Ge Lao is going to learn from the burning of Chibi.

"However, this official needs the cooperation of the Zhou Governor's Mansion."

"Little Pavilion Elder, please command."

Zhou Zhifu was in a cold sweat. He said in his heart that you are a cabinet scholar and the commander of the Son of Heaven's order, so you can talk about what to cooperate with and give orders directly.

"Hmm."

Xie Shen was very satisfied with Governor Zhou's attitude, and continued: "Governor Zhou might as well send someone out of the city to pretend to make peace with King Ning. ”

At present, the rebels of King Ning are besieging Anqing Mansion, and the warships are used to block the river. Only by dragging King Ning with Yihe did Xie Shen have the opportunity to send troops out of the city to burn King Ning's warship.
