Untied the kettle moistened his thirsty throat, and several heralds stood on the official road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The war horse under the crotch neighed, and the ten generals who led the team commanded in a deep voice: "Show your throats to Lao Tzu, let's rush to kill two horses for 800 miles and come back, just for this moment, if anyone loses face, Lao Tzu must chop him when he goes back!" ”

Several soldiers nodded, and one of them said loudly: "Boss, don't worry, this kind of glorious ancestor's matter, who is not holding his breath!" ”

The ten generals snorted and slapped their horses fiercely: "Go, enter the city!" ”

The mud on the road after the snow was cut by the war horses, and the majestic city in front of it was already presented in front of them, and the soldiers standing at the gate of the city stood solemnly, like sculptures in the wind. Although Nanjing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is also the south of the Yangtze River, but with the busyness of the officials everywhere, the whole city has been in tension.

What's more important is that it has been open for a few days, and there has been no good news, it is difficult to advance after the Jiaozhou naval division in the east captured Dengzhou, and even had to take the initiative to abandon Dengzhou, covering the people to retreat to the sea, the Sichuan Shu army in the west lost the Mianzhu Pass, and the Mongolian Tartars have been killed outside the gate of Chengdu Mansion・・・・・・ although the imperial court has not announced the accuracy of these news to the public for so long, but the remarks on the streets and alleys of the people do not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and they all want to grow wings and fly all over the city, so that the hearts of the people are heavy.

Although everyone believes in the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness the King of Ming, but now the weather is bitterly cold, and the Mongolian Tatars are coming suddenly, and it is not impossible to lose the battle, not to mention the rumors, which are spread ten or ten, and everyone is said vividly, as if they were on the battlefield, and you can't believe it.

What's more, many of the merchants who withdrew from the north also have gloomy faces and frown from time to time these days, which invisibly confirms the accuracy of these street and alley remarks.

So now, even the people of Nanjing are inevitably panicked.

Everyone saw the wrist of His Royal Highness King Ming, and also saw the light and hope of this dynasty rising in the ruins, but if such a failure suddenly came, the people would have no way to accept it.

According to the practice of previous dynasties, the victory of the front line will inevitably send the good news to the capital with 800 miles of meteor scouts, so these days everyone is doing the work in hand, but also subconsciously looking towards the street and the city gate, hoping to see the cavalry coming quickly.

It's just that to everyone's disappointment, they haven't seen such a figure in the past few days. Just when most people were accustomed to this kind of tension and depression, the early morning tranquility of Nanjing was finally broken by the sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Raising the token in his hand high, the ten generals quickly twitched their horses, and the soldiers around them shouted loudly while galloping their horses: "Heluo is a great victory, Luoyang is restored!" ”

"Heluo victory, Luoyang recovery!"

"Heluo victory, Luoyang recovery!"

The voice pierced through the sky from outside the city, and the soldiers standing outside the city gate looked at the comer in surprise at the same time, the golden token in the hands of the ten generals made their eyes shine, the meteor scout token of the military department! The soldiers under the city gate subconsciously straightened their waists and watched the cavalry gallop into the city gate with a wind.

But when the meteor scout horse galloped by, the soldiers standing under the city gate looked at each other, and they were already cheering and hugging each other tightly.

Meteors scouting horses, great victories, they see clearly, they hear clearly!

"Heluo victory, Luoyang recovery!" The cavalry roared as they galloped forward.

After a while, the entire sleeping city of Nanjing seemed to have been mobilized, and the expressions on the faces of the people on the street had froze at this moment, but soon the smiles were like the spring sun melting the ice.

The entire city of Nanjing was soon covered with cheers, countless people poured out of their homes, watching the long-awaited meteor scout horse pass in front of them, and even some people have begun to ponder the meaning behind this sentence, Heluo victory, Luoyang recovery, Ming finally entered Luoyang in the former Song Dynasty, "won the canghuang Beigu", and once again entered Luoyang City.

Instead of a day of rest, the somewhat deserted teahouse tile house quickly poured into one figure after another, the copper coins crackled and fell on the table, and people stretched out their hands excitedly:

"Warm two bowls of rice wine!"

"The shopkeeper, a good daughter on the altar is red!"

I don't know who lit the firecrackers first, but the sound of the bang did not stabilize the people who had fallen into frenzy, but became more and more excited, and the whole city was completely plunged into a sea of joy. In the end, the prefect of Nanjing had to send officials to the streets to maintain order.

Heluo was victorious, Luoyang was recovered, and the people who migrated south from the original Heluo step by step to Huainan and then to Jiangnan were in tears; How many young men who are determined to serve the country are enthusiastic.

――――――――――――――――――-

"Luoyang recovered, congratulations to Your Highness." Lu Xiufu, Liang Yanwu and others bowed their hands to Ye Yingwu at the same time, with a look of joy on their faces, after all, all the news from the front line these days is bad, and the various departments are either stuck with Mongolia, or have to retreat step by step, and Ye Yingwu has always had a gloomy face and has not said a word all day long.

Ye Yingwu smiled and sat down slowly, Xiao Yangzi served the freshly brewed tea with a very eye-catching look, Ye Yingwu nodded at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Luoyang is about to become an empty city, there is nothing to celebrate when you take it, the most important thing is to be able to hold Luoyang, I don't want to repeat the mistake of 'Duanping into Luoyang', let alone become 'Yuanjia Caocao'." ”

Lu Xiufu and the others looked at each other in some surprise.

Ye Yingwu immediately knocked lightly on the table: "I think you have all read the battle report of Sichuan and Shu, the newly developed trebuchet of the Mongolian Tatars is huge, and it can make Mianzhu Pass fall after only two days, and its combat power can be seen, although I have now urgently ordered the Ministry of Industry to transfer people to bring new firearms into Sichuan, but this may only solve the problem on the battlefield of Sichuan and Shu, if the same trebuchet also appears on the Heluo battlefield, then this Luoyang City, can it be defended?" What's more, now that the river is frozen, the Mongolian Tartars can easily cross the river from the Fengling and Mengjin lines, and when the time comes, will they be trapped in the lonely city or retreat? ”

Suddenly, Liang Yanwu and they all took a breath lightly, no one had considered this problem before, after all, in everyone's subconscious, Luoyang is a thousand-year-old ancient capital, the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, and it is the strongest Shence army in the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian Tartars want to attack Luoyang City, it is not so easy, but now Ye Yingwu listed the chips in Kublai Khan's hand, and suddenly everyone even had the illusion that Kublai Khan deliberately let out Luoyang.

Or in other words, for Kublai Khan, Luoyang just wanted to attack a city that could be taken at any time, and when the time came, he could still drive the Ming army to sweep the entire Heluo until Lianghuai Jingxiang, just like back then.

"What does Your Highness think?" Lu Xiufu looked at Ye Yingwu.

Stretching out his hand and pointing on the map behind him, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "In Lianghuai and Sichuan Shu to drag the Mongolian Tartars, it is necessary not to make the Mongolian Tartars mobilize cavalry to outflank the back road of Heluo, since the Shence army has been on Kublai Khan's heart, it will definitely not be ignored, just to attract Kublai Khan's attention." ”

Immediately understanding what Ye Yingwu wanted to do, Liang Yanwu took the lead and said: "Your Highness's meaning, the Jiaozhou Sailor can't wander in the sea anymore, he should immediately attack Jiaozhou and open up the situation in Shandong." ”

Huo Ran stood up, and Ye Yingwu's eyes were already filled with murderous aura: "I can't do this with the water division alone, Jiaozhou, Shandong, and even the entire Huaibei, I am bound to win this time, even if I exchange Heluo for me, I am willing." Because Huaibei and Shandong are the places where we can get the help of the sailors when they really face the attack of the Mongol Tatars, and they are also the land north of the Great River, compared to Heluo, which may be in our pocket at any time, I prefer Shandong. ”

"Your Highness!" Lu Xiufu said in a deep voice, what Ye Yingwu wants to do, as Lu Xiufu, who started with Ye Yingwu and is the uncle of the country, knows very well.

Ye Yingwu said coldly: "My intention has been decided, there is no need to discuss it again, I will lead the forbidden army to the north and take Shandong by sea." Rest assured, I am not insisting on taking risks, with Shandong as the purpose, the Zhenhai Navy and the Jinghu Army will go north to attack with all their might, and be sure to open up the connection between Shandong and Huaibei, and the Shence Army will attack westward, whether it is to rescue Sichuan and Shu or attack Guanzhong, let him Wang Jin let it go! ”

This time, no one shouted "Your Highness thinks twice", and all the officials and staff members slowly stood up, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

They all felt the awe-inspiring murderous aura and audacity in Ye Yingwu's every word, but since Ye Yingwu started Xingzhou, which time was not a desperate situation, and which time was not a surprise road, so they were not intimidated by such a plan, but wanted to turn all this into reality.

The rolling tide of the Northern Expedition is moving forward, and Mongolia and Daming are seeing blood and wolf smoke on the border of thousands of miles.

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, sometimes he sees himself as a gambler, but after finishing the bet, he is extremely relaxed. Now that you have made up your mind, whether you succeed or fail, as long as you let it go.

Slowly stood up and walked to the backyard, Ye Yingwu shook it, if it wasn't for reaching out to hold the screen and almost falling to the ground, Ye Yingwu hadn't walked out of this hall in the past few days, and even when he was sleepy, he just lay on the chair and slept for a while, after all, Su Liuyi and Wen Tianxiang had already gone out, and Lu Xiufu was left alone, and he couldn't be busy with government affairs all over the country, so Ye Yingwu, who had always been the shopkeeper, had to take over most of the political affairs even if he didn't have much front-line warfare to do.

In addition, the transfer of grain and grass, soldiers and horses, and the orders signed to the officials of the state government also need to be stamped after Ye Yingwu looks at them, although each state capital seems to be two or three directives, but it is definitely not a trivial matter when it is put into the vast Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days, Wang Jin did not let himself down after all, although he knew that Luoyang was actually equal to Kublai Khan's surrender, but Ye Yingwu also knew that the battle of the Shence Army not only boosted morale, but also made the precarious defense of the Ming Dynasty have enough room for maneuver, or in other words, the whole game of chess has come to life.

That's enough, and I can finally take a break. Ye Yingwu finally understood what it meant behind "diligent government", no wonder Qin Shi Huang and Yongzheng, who were known for their diligence in history, did not sing, this is indeed a tiring thing, and it is also very harmful to physical health.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw half of the sky covered by fireworks, because of the war with the north, Nanjing City has implemented a curfew in the past few days, so the people are hurrying to take advantage of this time to set off fireworks to celebrate, and the cheers can be heard through the palace wall.

But Ye Yingwu is more concerned about his own children now, when the child was born, the Mongolian Tartars were stirring up in the north, Ye Yingwu could only stare there, and his children did not have as much time as Liang Yanwu to watch. Therefore, Ye Yingwu couldn't hold back for a long time, and rushed into Kunning Palace quickly.

Kunning Palace is the earliest palace built in the Hou (Harmony) Palace, but Rao is so, Ye Yingwu still has not allowed Lu Wanyan to move in, the harm of the new house to pregnant women Ye Yingwu is clear, no matter what difference the paint of this era is from later generations, everything should be careful.

waited until Lu Wanyan finished giving birth, and then moved in one after another, which also symbolized that the queen of the Ming Dynasty finally sat in the position that should belong to her.

Kunning Palace was quite lively, Chen was holding a child in his arms and was teasing softly, while Wei'er was running after Chen on tiptoe, as for Hui Niang and Qiqin, they were sitting at the table on one side of the table studying a piano, and Zhao Yunshu was sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with Lu Wanyan in a low voice, and he didn't know what to whisper. Even the two Annan girls who lived in seclusion on weekdays were carefully served on one side.

"It's all there." Ye Yingwu suddenly showed a smile, except for Su Niang and Qiong Niang in the six doors, the people in the back house were really unexpectedly complete.

Chen looked at his son who suddenly appeared with some surprise, the old man's heart has been tied up by this big fat grandson for the past few days, and he hasn't cared too much about whether Ye Yingwu continues to renew the incense for the Ye family, not to mention that Chen is also a person who knows the general situation, otherwise it is impossible to become Ye Mengding's virtuous helper, so she knows that now Ye Yingwu has a headache for the war in the Mongolian Tartars in the north, and she has no energy in this matter.

Now the north has finally come to the good news, the former Song Dynasty's western capital Luoyang has been recovered, Chen is happy, but also knows that he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, these days shrouded in the hearts of Nanjing people, how can not shrouded in the hearts of everyone in the back house, after all, for ordinary people, it is just possible to fall into the chaos again, and for the Ming royal family, the defeat in front of it means that it is very likely to become a slave of the country.

Jingkang's shame is unbearable, and at the same time, he is more and more afraid to follow the same path.

Ye Yingwu stepped forward and gently held his child's fleshy little hand, raised his eyebrows, I have to say that what Chen said makes some sense, this child's eyebrows are quite thick, and if you ignore the flesh on his face, he looks quite similar to himself, and more importantly, his eyes are wide, with a look that ordinary people do not have, and it is really the characteristics of Ye Mengding to Ye Yingwu.

"Mother, I'll hug you." Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand.

"This can't be done, what if the child makes you fall?" Chen Shi frowned suddenly, anything can be discussed, but this is not good for her heart, she has to watch it all day long.

Ye Yingwu didn't dare to provoke his mother, so he nodded respectfully and walked to Lu Wanyan's bed, not letting someone hold the child, he had to let someone see his wife.

"Husband has worked hard." Lu Wanyan looked at the tired look on Ye Yingwu's face and laughed softly.

Ye Yingwu suddenly smiled and said: "It's not hard, it's a lady who works hard." ”

Finding that Ye Yingwu's gaze was aimed at his lower abdomen, Lu Wanyan's face suddenly turned red. And Zhao Yunshu on the side said angrily: "I haven't seen you for three days, and when I go to the room to uncover the tiles, I know how to laugh at Sister Wanniang." ”

After being silent for a moment, Ye Yingwu slowly stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "Wanniang, I will go north tomorrow, and take the Praetorian Guards to Jiaozhou by sea." ”

The women who came up were stunned, and Lu Wanyan held Ye Yingwu's hand with a little trembling: "Husband, is this true?" ”

Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu in surprise: "Jiaozhou refers to the land of Shandong, which is still the territory of the Mongolian Tatars, and it is the rear of the Mongolian Tatars Huaibei, right?" It's too risky for the husband to go! After all, the husband is the lord of a country・・・・・・"

"My Ming dynasty was beaten down little by little, and it should have been beaten down somewhere." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice.

"Brother, he actually agreed? And Song Rui and Jun Zhigong, they even agreed? Lu Wanyan said with some suspicion, it stands to reason that for such a major event, several ministers in the court and the central government and those scholars have to kneel down to dissuade them. (To be continued.) )
