Chapter 489: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhifu is such a commander who has arrived at home.
If Xie Shen's reinforcements hadn't arrived, he would definitely still be holding on to the city now, and he would never have the slightest intention of opening the city to seek battle.
This can't be blamed on Zhou Yue. After all, he is a civil official.
Although the Ming Dynasty used civil power to control the military, which led to many civilian commanders, it was also after long-term training. There are really not many ducks like Zhou Zhifu on the shelves.
Until you are absolutely sure of defeating your opponent, it is an option to huddle in the city and wait for help.
But what made Xie Shen puzzled was that it was clear that his reinforcements had arrived, and Zhou Zhifu was still shrinking, which was too damn cowardly, right?
He had 50,000 people in his hands, and King Ning was at most this number.
After all, the number of the claimed army cannot be trusted, at least it must be cut in half.
Xie Shen was made to cry and laugh by Governor Zhou's mansion, and sighed for a long time: "You don't dare to ask you to pretend to surrender, do you want to fight with King Ning's rebels?" ”
Hearing the word field, Zhou Yue felt a chill all over his body, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit.
"No... Not necessarily. ”
Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Since Governor Zhou doesn't want to fight with the rebels in the field, then pretend to surrender according to what this official said." Leave the rest to the official, you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Little Pavilion Elder, what if this Toucheng is seen by King Ning?"
Seeing Governor Zhou's bearish appearance, Xie Shen really wanted to take away his authority and come by himself. But not now, Zhou Governor's hypocritical surrender is key in his plan.
"Won't you act like a little bit? Do you understand the self-cultivation of actors? ”
"The self-cultivation of an actor? Xiaoge is old, and the lower officials are dull, what is this? ”
Xie Shenzhi was a little crying and laughing. This week, the prefect was stupid, and he didn't choose what to say.
"Ahem, what I mean is that you have to do your best to pretend to be some."
"Oh."
Governor Zhou finally understood what Xie Shen meant, but after thinking about it, he was worried again.
"But the elder of the small pavilion, if the lower officials pretend to surrender, will they be misunderstood by His Majesty? If Your Majesty believes it, then the official will be unjustly killed. ”
Xie Shen almost turned his back on his anger and said angrily: "This official knows about this matter, if Your Majesty asks, this official will go and speak for you." ”
"Don't get me wrong, Xiaoge, the lower official is not suspicious of you. The lower officials are worried that people's words are terrifying. ”
"You're not doing a fake show, or what about some rumors?"
"This, this... There are old people under the officials, and there are small ones who can't stand the toss. In case the next official is taken to the Jinyi Guard's prison..."
"Good decent, how did you end up in prison, don't think about it. If you do this well, you will only have merit, and this official will ask Your Majesty to reward you heavily. ”
In desperation, Xie Shen had to pat his chest to protect Zhou Zhifu.
"With the words of the elder of Xiaoge, the officials will be relieved."
Governor Zhou immediately smiled when he heard this.
"The lower officials all listened to the dispatch of the little pavilion elder. Xiaoge Lao asked the lower officials to go east, and the lower officials will never go west! ”
"Okay, you don't have to show loyalty to the official here, the official believes in you!"
Xie Shen really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, what kind of fucking pig teammates are these. It's better to let him do it himself!
After the Zhou Governor's Mansion retreated, Xie Shen summoned Lu Tangtian and instructed: "You should send some spies to see where the rebel sailors are stationed." No matter where they are stationed, report it now! ”
"Yes!"
Lu Chongtian clenched his fists with both hands and resolutely took the order.
......
......
Starting from Hangzhou, entering Wushui through Sui'an, and crossing the Le'an River, you can enter the boundary of Jiangxi.
This is the route of the march planned by Wang Shouren.
However, Emperor Zhengde was obviously not very satisfied with this, and felt that such a march was a long way.
And in this way, you have to cross Poyang Lake to attack Nanchang.
"Wang Qing, can you march from the north?"
Zhu Houzhao asked while rubbing his palms.
Zhu Houzhao is always very excited about marching and fighting, and naturally he will give instructions to the generals' arrangement.
This is naturally nothing in normal times, but at the moment it is a matter of counterinsurgency, and it is a little inappropriate for Zhu Houzhao to interfere in this way.
At least Wang Shouren felt insulted.
Since the Son of Heaven has summoned him to lead this army, it is natural that he should be fully responsible.
To say a big disrespectful word, the Son of Heaven's understanding of the art of war is still in the stage of playfulness. If you really arrange the troops according to the preferences of the Son of Heaven, you will definitely lose the battle.
Seeing that Wang Shouren was silent, Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy and said, "Why didn't Wang Qing speak?" Am I wrong? ”
The army led by Xie Shen has already rushed to the aid of Anqing Mansion, and Wang Shouren's army should also be drawn immediately, so that the best effect can be achieved by echoing each other from afar.
But obviously, the monarchs and ministers disagreed and couldn't talk anymore.
The atmosphere inside the room was awkward, and the air was almost frozen.
Wang Shouren took off his armor and put it aside.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't trust the minister, the minister should abdicate and make way for Xian."
Although Wang Shouren's tone was very respectful, he could clearly feel the anger in his words.
Cold violence is the most terrible, and Wang Shouren used this way to protest against the Son of Heaven.
Zhengde was stunned.
What's going on? Wang Shouren is going to pick a son and quit?
Zhengde thought that his temper was the biggest in the world, but who knew that there was a mountain outside the mountain, and Wang Shouren's temper was even greater than that of him!
He just said a few words to Wang Shouren and provided him with a better marching route, but Wang Shouren just quit!
Alas, no matter how Xie Shen recommended the people, they are so worry-free!
Zhu Houzhao only felt bored, so he had to wave his hand and say, "I don't want to talk about you, you put on your armor quickly." ”
Wang Shouren did not move.
"You, you ......"
Zhu Houzhao only felt very faceless, his teeth trembled and his face turned pale.
"If Your Majesty lets the minister take charge of the army, you have to agree to the minister's three conditions."
In order to prevent Zhengde from interfering with his decision, Wang Shouren had no choice but to make three chapters with Zhengde.
"Yes, yes! Tell me what I want to promise you! ”
Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily and said gloomily.
"First, Your Majesty can no longer interfere with the minister's marching plans!"
Zhengde thought about it, and his heart was not suspicious, so he nodded and said, "I promise you this one." ”
Wang Shouren paused for a moment and continued: "Second, Your Majesty can't have the idea of pro-conquest. ”
Well, this one made Zhengde depressed.
He actually really wanted to go to the palace himself. But he knew that Xie Shen would definitely not agree, so he asked Xie Shen to lead the army to rush to the aid of Anqing Mansion. He stayed and followed Wang Shouren to lead the strange soldiers to smash the Yellow Dragon.
But now that Wang Shouren has seen his thoughts, what should he do?
......
......
With a righteous temperament, I really want to ask someone to drag Wang Shouren out and beat him with a cane.
But not now, first, the war is urgent. The second is that this person was recommended by Mr.
If he really ordered someone to scepter Wang Shouren, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Mr.? He couldn't do that kind of thing.
To say that Zhengde really has nothing to say to Xie Shen. There are many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, and there are indeed not many who can be respected by the monarch like Xie Shen.
"Wang Qing, I promise you."
Although Zhengde was very reluctant in his heart, he had to respond.
Because he knew that if he didn't agree, Wang Shouren would really dare to pick and choose.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Shouren was relieved to get the promise of Emperor Zhengde.
"The minister must serve His Majesty. However, the trip was fraught with danger. If you can't come back......"
Speaking of this, Wang Shouren choked up a little.
"If the minister can't come back, please don't think about it, and concentrate on exterminating the rebels."
Wang Shouren is a thorough warrior, so he will choose to go forward without hesitation when facing the affairs of his family and country, rather than retreating for preservation.
It is precisely because of his quality consciousness that Xie Shen will recommend him to participate in the counterinsurgency.
"Don't say it's useless. I command you to come back safely! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red and he said loudly.
What this stubborn young man admires most is the warrior who sacrificed his personal safety for the country. Although Wang Shouren is a civil official, he does not lack all the qualities of a warrior.
At this point, Zhu Houzhao is really a bit contradictory.
He admired Wang Shouren's public spirit, but he was very angry that Wang Shouren did not save face for him, and these two contradictory feelings were mixed together, which was really difficult to speak.
I command you to come back safely!
Although this sentence was domineering, Wang Shouren was extremely moved when he heard it.
For a long time, civil officials have a misunderstanding about this young genius. They demanded Emperor Zhengde according to the standards of the ancient sages and kings, and naturally felt that Emperor Zhengde was absurd and debauched, without the demeanor of a Ming monarch.
Not to mention the kings of the ancient sage, it is compared with the first emperor Hongzhi Son of Heaven, Zhengde is undoubtedly a "faint monarch".
But it is such a "faint king" in the eyes of civil officials who can personally inspect the Xuanfu and be able to fight morale in the face of danger.
is such a "faint king" in the eyes of civil officials, who ordered the abolition of the maritime ban that had been implemented for more than 100 years and carried out trade between the five ports.
is such a "faint gentleman" in the eyes of civil officials, who accepted the new policy implemented by Xie Shen and ordered the land to be cleared and the commercial tax changed.
is Wang Shouren, who was once full of prejudices against Zhengde.
It wasn't until this moment that he really felt that His Majesty the Emperor was not as unbearable as they imagined.
Perhaps His Majesty's personal morality is a little worse, but he is not lacking in enterprising spirit and a sense of responsibility for the country.
It's just that His Majesty the Emperor's sense of responsibility is not on his lips.
When it comes to the major events of national fortunes, His Majesty can still make the most appropriate decision.
"Your Majesty, obey the order!"
Wang Shouren said resolutely.
In his opinion, there is nothing better than the unity of kings and ministers. Those who can do this are the ancients. Which of the neighboring dynasties was not a monarch and a minister who was suspicious of each other, and finally led to internal and external troubles?
A monarch like today's son who trusts his courtiers must not be few, if not unique.
At this moment, Wang Shouren felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to step into the center of the court in the Zhengde Dynasty.
If he emerged in the Hongzhi Dynasty, it would be at most the height of Li Dongyang, Xu Pu, Liu Jian and others.
It's not that the three pavilion elders are bad, it's just that this level of contribution is difficult to make fundamental changes to the Ming Dynasty.
The three pavilion elders are more like tinkerers, and they will make up for any loopholes in the Ming Dynasty.
But now, more than 100 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, some things have long been rotten, and they are rotten to the bones, and they can't be made up by just making up. If you don't cut off the rotten parts, it will spread to the whole body, and then it will be too late.
Wang Shouren felt more and more that Xie Shen was not easy.
Xie Shen was young, so he had to take on the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Daming. Not only did he have to convince the arrogant Son of Heaven, but he also had to confront almost the entire civilian clique and vested interests.
Even Li Shoufu and Xie Cifu may not be completely on Xie Shen's side.
As long as Xie Shen took a wrong step, the well-dressed beasts who hated Xie Shen for touching their interests would rush up and tear them to shreds.
Therefore, Xie Shen walked very cautiously, and every step he took must stop and analyze carefully, and he must not take a wrong step.
Wang Shouren took Xie Shen as an example, always reminding himself not to become those well-dressed beasts.
Maybe he doesn't have Xie Shen's talent and keen insight, but as long as he has a heart to dedicate himself to Daming, he will make some contributions.
When today's young man practices Zuo, it is precisely when he needs the assistance of Liangchen Kuang, and it is obviously not enough to rely on Xie Shen alone.
Wang Qing was relieved. I am the Son of Heaven and am commanded by Heaven. I bless you and you'll be all right. You must take Nanchang and take King Ning's lair! I want to watch King Ning flee like a lost dog. I want to see him kneel at my feet and beg for mercy! ”
Zhu Houzhao was very excited, he raised his arm and said: "The emperor handed over the Ming Dynasty to me, and he was by no means allowed to be coveted by Xiaoxiao. I'm going to make them regret what they've done! ”
......
......
Jiangxi's water system is vertical and horizontal, and just one Poyang Lake supports thousands of living beings.
Compared with Jiangnan, the scenery of Jiangxi is a little less charming, but if you talk about the atmosphere, it is not allowed at all.
After Wang Shouren led the army to cross the Le'an River, he looked at the strange scenery on the riverside and sighed with emotion.
"Dashuai, we have to get off the boat at the river bay in front of us and walk to Poyang Lake."
An adjutant said respectfully.
"Yes."
Wang Shouren replied lightly and waved his hand: "Pass the order, and when we reach the river bay, all the soldiers will change into the people's clothes, wrap the blades in arrowroot cloth and receive the package." Ben Shuai didn't give an order, and he was not allowed to take out his blade! ”
"Order!"
The lieutenant clenched his fists and replied loudly.
Wang Shouren's heart is not steady.
In fact, he also doubted whether this route was the best. But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is most reliable to travel from the Le'an River to Poyang Lake and cross to attack Nanchang.
This is tantamount to coming to King Ning's lair and sneaking up from behind.
Although King Ning did not have many troops left in Nanchang, once he was discovered, he would also be in danger of being surrounded.
So this time he can only succeed and not fail.
If he fails, it will be difficult for him to bring this army out of Jiangxi safely. King Ning's men will definitely fight with their lives to intercept him.
Even for the sake of these brothers, he Wang Shouren must not make any mistakes!
