The knife flashed, and a finger had already flown into the air, and blood gushed out from the neat fracture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Mongolian centurion saber took off his hand, screamed miserably, ten fingers connected to the heart, the finger injury was the most painful, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled out of his forehead. Zhang Chuang sneered, took out his horse lance, and the wooden pole was pulled horizontally, knocking the centurion off the horse: "Sons, tie up!" ”

The guards also rushed up at this time, and hurriedly grabbed the centurion.

"Good boy, you have a little ability," Wang Da rode over and couldn't help but admire, "This hand is beautiful just now!" ”

Zhang Chuang smacked his lips and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These Mongolian Tatars' equestrian skills are really not covered, and they are also dangerous just now, but fortunately, their equestrian skills are good, but their fighting skills are not very good, in short, they can only ride horses, they can't kill, plus the blades are not good, and they are not even as good as our cavalry, and they probably haven't been on the battlefield." ”

Wang Dayong looked at the dejected Mongolian centurion and thought thoughtfully. And Zhang Chuang turned around at this time, only to find that it was the supervisor of the town navy who was talking to him just now, and he was shocked at the moment, and bowed in a panic: "The subordinates don't know that the supervisor came, and if it is rude, please forgive the supervisor." ”

"Haha," Wang Dayong smiled heartily, pointed to the Mongolian centurion and said, "Catch this guy, you are a hero, don't be rude, even if you scold a certain sentence, you will not be blamed." ”

"The supervisor is bold, and the general will admire it!" Zhang Chuang solemnly bowed his hand, Wang Dayong smiled happily, he didn't dare to laugh too, after all, Zhang Chuang still knew the difference between superior and inferior. Wang Dayong didn't blame him, which shows that Wang Dayong has no frame as a Shangguan, but if Zhang Chuang doesn't take it to heart, he has no brains.

"Alright, clear the remnants of the enemy, and fight quickly!" Wang Da looked solemn and pulled the reins of the horse fiercely.

Zhang Chuang nodded, and the blood-stained horse lance in his hand was raised violently: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The Ming cavalry roared at the same time and rushed straight towards the retreating Mongol cavalry.

Standing on the hillside and watching Wang Dayong's general flag and Zhang Chuang's general flag merge into one, completely dividing and surrounding the last group of Mongolian cavalry, Chen Jiong breathed a sigh of relief, this battle is over. And at this moment, a capital head rode his horse and rushed up the hillside: "Supervisor, the Mongolian Tatar cavalry in the camp has been cleared, but this camp ······ Please also ask the supervisor to come and see for himself. ”

"Oh?" Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, knowing that he must have found something, so he tugged on the reins of the horse fiercely, "Let's go, I want to see, the Mongolian Tartars are already in decline, what treasures can be hidden!" ”

——————————

The rain was ticking, and the whole of Zhongdu – now known as "Beiping" – was enveloped in the autumn rain. The autumn wind blows through the streets, with the slightest chill, although it is not as scarring as the winter wind, but this kind of cold, which seems to be able to soak into every inch of skin at any time, is equally terrifying, and the autumn and winter in the north are silently showing its power.

With a slight shudder, Wang Anjie subconsciously rubbed his hands. The guards who followed behind him hurriedly took off their cloaks and wanted to put them on Wang Anjie, but Wang Anjie waved his hand and showed a smile: "It's better to be colder this day, colder can make people think more calmly." ”

"But the general ······" The guards wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that his general's temper, although he was calm and steady, but he couldn't pull back even eight horses if he had done a good job, such as resolutely taking Yao Zhi and Chen Ji to stand up in Changzhou to support Ye Yingwu.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded at the door of the mansion, and Wang Anjie exhaled softly and strode into the wind and rain, while the two guards behind him also hurriedly grabbed their robes and hats to follow. The general is just blowing the wind, and with his physique, there is no problem, but if it rains in this weather, he will definitely get sick.

The war horse neighed, the people stood up, Zhang Shijie jumped up from the horse, walked up the steps quickly, and took off the hat in his hand, and at this time he also saw Wang Anjie who walked out quickly, and immediately said in surprise: "General Wang, why don't you come out without wearing a hat and a robe." ”

Wang Anjie smiled and arched his hand: "If you wear it, won't it delay welcoming the Shangzhu Kingdom." ”

"Wang Bozhi (Wang Anjie), if you say so, it is digging a pit for someone, you Wang Bozhi is the general of the two Huai armies, how can it be regarded as the dry city of the country, if something goes wrong with you, wouldn't you have to take the blame?" Zhang Shijie suddenly pretended to be angry and said in a deep voice.

Wang Anjie laughed: "Zhang Xianggong said that, then so-and-so really has to hurry up and put it on." ”

In terms of age, Wang Anjie is older than Zhang Shijie; In terms of qualifications, Wang Anjie is the son of the famous general Wang Jian, if it were not for Jia Yidao's deliberate suppression, he would never have served as the commander of a small Changzhou Xiang Army, who was better than Zhang Shijie, a son from the south, and had a long official experience; And even in terms of generation, Wang Anjie's niece is the concubine of today's saint, and Zhang Shijie is the eldest princess's concubine, which is a generation lower than Wang Anjie. So Wang Anjie and Zhang Shijie are casual, but there is nothing, if it is not Zhang Shijie, he also talks like this, even if he is not a supreme official, he will be secretly hated.

Seeing Wang Anjie honestly bring the hat, Zhang Shijie nodded, and the two of them walked through the courtyard towards the council hall together. Wang Anjie lowered his voice and said: "But what happened in Nanjing, it actually alarmed Xianggong to come over in person." ”

If the news came from the northern grasslands, Wang Anjie must have received it, and if the war did not go well, he would definitely let him go to Taiyuan Mansion to discuss, not Zhang Shijie. Now Zhang Shijie rushed to Beiping, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and Wang Anjie can't be allowed to be suspicious, which is why he has been standing under the eaves and waiting for Zhang Shijie to come over.

is so urgent, there must be an accident in the south, and it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses, and as Wang Anjie, he naturally has no qualifications to transfer troops south.

Zhang Shijie laughed: "If something happened in Nanjing, a certain person would not be so calm." Don't worry, there are indeed some trends in Nanjing, but they have all been suppressed by Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty wants to completely quell this trend, it depends on how we fight, whether we can fight well or not. ”

Although Wang Anjie is not a very smart person, he has been in the officialdom for a long time and is from a famous family, so he immediately understood: "Is there someone who accuses His Majesty and the court of being reckless in military force by taking advantage of the fact that the imperial court sent troops?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Shijie nodded, and said helplessly as he walked into the hall: "Since you have guessed everything, I will not hide it from you." Several families took advantage of the opportunity of the notice of death in the army to incite the people to protest, in fact, against His Majesty's reuse of the industrial and commercial classes. ”

"These bastards!" Wang Anjie gritted his teeth, "Is this a casual joke?" Now that the imperial court is at war in the north and south at the same time, it is necessary to go all out, but as a result, there are still people dragging behind their backs! ”

Although Wang Anjie was also born in a scholar family, first of all, he was a soldier and a general of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wang family was also a military family, for the entire Wang family, of course, it was also a war first and then a family, so it was reasonable for Wang Anjie to be so excited at this time.

What's more, at this time, these scholars have indeed gone too far, so Wang Anjie can't help but be angry.

Zhang Shijie looked at the marks left by Wang Anjie on the map, and said in a deep voice: "It is reasonable that these scholars can't sit still. The world is bustling with people, what is done is just the word power and wealth, before the power was in the hands of the Shi Nong, or among the Shi clan, and in the former Song Dynasty because of the establishment of a large number of private schools and academies, workers, peasants and businessmen were also eligible to participate in the imperial examination, and gradually competed for power with the Shi clan, but because the Shi clan was powerful, this was only a very small number of people, and now with His Majesty's promotion and appointment of Guo Shoujing, Guo Shangshu and others, the industry and commerce have begun to rank among the important ministers of the imperial court, and the Shi clan can certainly feel this threat. ”

Wang Anjie nodded, and took it a little helplessly: "And as Xianggong said, the previous plan of industry and commerce was just a good word, and it was necessary to share this benefit equally with the scholars, whether it was in power or profit, it was actually suppressed by the scholars, and now the industry and commerce have the intention of a large-scale counterattack, not to mention whether the scholars can get more money, and even the power they take as the fundamental must be divided, it is not normal for these scholars to have no opinions, but they are really going to pick the time." ”

"They did it at this time, which can be regarded as a success in disgusting us, but it also shows that what they did was not wrong." Zhang Shijie chuckled, "Making the enemy feel uncomfortable means that there is nothing wrong with what they are doing from their side." ”

Wang Anjie sighed softly, he is not an impulsive and hot-headed young man after all, knowing that this matter is definitely not so simple, Zhang Shijie can talk about this, and it can already show that he and His Majesty behind him trust him.

"The tide of Nanjing City is not for us to worry about, and we don't need to share our worries, Your Majesty has come all the way through the thorns, will you still be afraid of this, so we just need to do what is in front of us, which is also the reason why a certain person rushed over from Taiyuan Mansion." Zhang Shijie patted Wang Anjie's shoulder, "Outside, the monarch's order will not be affected, but he should also share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Seeing Zhang Shijie's gaze fall back on the map, Wang Anjie nodded solemnly, for Nanjing City, which is thousands of miles away, they can be said to be beyond the reach of the whip, and if Wang Anjie chooses, he naturally does not want to get involved in that trend, as a person who is used to fighting on the battlefield, of course he prefers this kind of real sword and real gun contest, rather than the storm that always makes people feel dull in the court.

"Look at this, this is the information about Helin that His Majesty asked the six doors to send in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles," Zhang Shijie took out a bound book from his arms and handed it to Wang Anjie, "Now there are only two copies in the entire Ming Dynasty, one is in Your Majesty's place, and the other is this." ”

Of course, Wang Anjie understands the preciousness of this information, and he also knows that this is also Ye Yingwu's trust and trust for him and Zhang Shijie. After just a cursory glance at a few pages, Wang Anjie's face showed a look of ecstasy. Because it clearly records the location of the various government offices in the city of Helin, the preparation of the city defense and the more important treasures in the Mongolian treasury, this is absolutely undesirable for the Ming cavalry who entered the steppe in a state of "blindness".

"This thing······ Is it reliable? However, Wang Anjie still raised this question, after all, Jinyiwei tried his best to find out the situation of He Lin, and even lost a lot of manpower, causing the Ming cavalry to grit their teeth and enter the grassland, and suddenly they got so much important information so easily, with Wang Anjie's steady character, it is strange not to doubt it.

Zhang Shijie laughed: "In the final analysis, this is still your credit, without you escorting those two people back to Nanjing, Your Majesty would not have been able to ask about this." ”

"Boyan and Shi Tianze?" Wang Anjie suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Majesty still has the ability, these two guys really couldn't open their mouths at the beginning, causing the generals in charge of interrogation below to say that the two of them were stones in the pit - smelly and hard, because considering the identities of the two of them, and Shi Tianze was also old, so he didn't torture to extract confessions, and he didn't ask anything." ”

Zhang Shijie shook his head: "The two of them were just captured, of course their mouths were hard, after all, no one wanted to leave groveling words and sentences in the history of the Qing, but when they arrived in Nanjing, their prisoner life was almost experienced, His Majesty personally came to the door, and exempted them from the death penalty, these two guys are not stupid, of course they know everything, and the sea that is imprisoned with them also tells them what they know." ”

Wang Anjie called a few staff members to hurriedly transcribe this booklet in this meeting hall, and said in a deep voice: "But the Mongolian Tatars also know that the two of them have been captured, and there will definitely be some adjustments in the deployment of the army······

"For the grassland, it's better to know something than not to know anything," Zhang Shijie sighed, "Their army can be mobilized, but at least the treasury can't be moved overnight, not to mention that the Mongolian Tatars don't have a few cities in the grassland, even if they really want to move, where can they move?" It is even estimated that the Mongol Tatars not only want to keep the treasury in Helin, but it is even possible to gather the wealth of the rest of the tribes to Helin, otherwise if they are bumped into by us or the army of Bala, it will be cheaper for us. ”

Wang Anjie nodded, and then smiled: "Then it depends on who has good luck, if they really let them bump into each other, it will be lucky." ”

"Whether it hits or can't bump into it, the most important thing is Helin." Zhang Shijie's eyes never left the annotation on the map, in fact, the location of Helin marked on the map is only a rough estimate, after all, even the Mongols themselves may not be able to tell the specific location of this isolated city, let alone the map used by the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Anjie didn't say much, stood side by side with Zhang Shijie, and quietly looked at the map.

Helin, this is the knot that unravels everything.

If the battle of Helin can be won, not only will the war in the Northland finally come to a successful end, but even the storm brewing in the capital of the Ming Dynasty will subside. Although those warriors were bold, they were not bold enough to be bold, and once the Ming army relied on victory to gain the upper hand in morality and public opinion, they knew what choice they should make.

"Can we win this battle?" Wang Anjie muttered subconsciously.

This is not his question, but also the question of all the soldiers of the Ming army on the northern front, only relying on the cavalry to enter the grassland alone, in the eyes of many people, there is no difference between sending to death, but Wang Anjie, as the commander of the Youyan Ming army, knows that neither Zhang Shijie nor himself has no choice, not only because of the jewelry wealth of the Mongols and those craftsmen, but also because of the need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if you can't take advantage of the Ming army when the army is in full swing to completely solve the Mongolian problem, Then it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty will be like the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there will be no way to break through the Great Wall to the north and penetrate into the new world north of the grassland.

So the burden on Wang Anjie's shoulders is very heavy, and he has to doubt this problem.

Zhang Shijie glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

And Wang Anjie looked up at the door, the autumn rain was still dripping, flowing down the eaves, falling in the puddle of the bluestone slab steps in front of the door, making a crisp sound. And this fine and densely woven autumn rain shrouded the whole world in a hazy mist, and even the houses on the opposite side loomed in this mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

is also unclear, and the future of this Ming Dynasty and the whole of China!

Wang Anjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but soon his emotion was interrupted by Zhang Shijie's voice. This Shangzhu State of the Ming Dynasty turned his head at some point, and said lightly: "Since the Qingyuan Mansion cleared out the Haikou, Your Majesty and the Ming army have never failed. ”

Wang Anjie shook slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and he didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the courtyard shrouded in autumn rain.
