221 Worry-free
Imperial Physician Li's soul was scattered, "Weichen didn't hear anything, he didn't know anything, Niangniang spared his life, and King Han spared his life"
"Go down" Wang Lanping waved his hand, he didn't need to extinguish his mouth, Imperial Doctor Li couldn't get out of the palace at all, and it was not appropriate to kill people in front of his unborn child.
Imperial Doctor Li was relieved, bowed a few times and hurriedly left, in fact, he was not sure whether the mother was really happy, just look at the expression of the queen and the king of Han, if you don't find a child today, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the test, fortunately, with experience, it is a precursor to pregnancy, he followed Liu Bao back to the Qianqing Palace while silently begging for God in his heart, don't bless the mother is really pregnant.
As soon as Imperial Doctor Li left, Wang Lanping couldn't calm down when she was ******** in her heart, how could it be so coincidental, but she was pregnant, and she was naΓ―ve enough to joke.
"King Han, you, will you accept this child?" Queen Jin also had a hint of confidence at this time, and a pitiful look appeared on her face.
Wang Lanping was uneasy, took off his helmet, and walked around the house, the child, thinking about it makes me feel happy, when the little thing croaks to the ground, I carefully hold it in my arms, teach him to speak, feed him food, watch him grow up slowly, and call himself dad in person, it feels so much.
After walking back and forth a few times, Wang Lanping seemed to have made a decision, struck with both hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever, whoever likes to say it, Lao Tzu wants this son."
Queen Jin burst into tears when she heard this, and threw herself into his arms shyly, sobbing softly, and choked up: "King Han stands up to the sky, Yujiao knows that you won't ignore us"
Wang Lanping hugged her tightly, "Can I ignore my son?" β
Queen Jin burst into tears and laughed, "How do you know it must be a son"
Wang Lanping teased her and said, "It's not that my son is stuffed back and reborn."
"Nasty!"
The two hugged each other tightly, and at this moment, Fang Ling, who was in a coma, moved, woke up slowly, and the two quickly separated, Wang Lanping came to her quickly, stroked her forehead and said, "Girl, wake up"
Fang Ling looked at him, then at the queen, and blamed himself: "King Han, the girl let you down."
Wang Lanping lowered his head and kissed her, "Don't be stupid, you did a good job, blame me, it's me who is not good, you sleep, and I will send someone to send you back to the house later."
Let a woman with no political experience power the court, it is definitely not something that can be done in a short time, Wang Lanping set his eyes on Queen Jin at this time, she is a ready-made person in power, and there is no need to cultivate.
Taking advantage of Fang Ling's sleep again, Wang Lanping and Empress Jin tacitly agreed that it was impossible to ask for Empress Jin to take care of her home and take care of the hospital, she had status, coupled with the military power of Song Xian and Li Dingguo, even if she went west, the political situation in Nanjing would be as stable as Mount Tai.
The court discussion outside was also dispersed, and after Wang Lanping read the discussion, he handed it over to the master of ceremonies Han Gonggong to stamp Yuxi, and then sent them to the relevant yamen one by one, Zhang Huangyan is very competent in the handling of political affairs, and Zhang Huangyan's biggest advantage is that he only talks about political affairs, as for who is in charge of the house in this court, he doesn't care at all, he just wants to see a thriving court, and see the day of the recovery of the northern kingdom one day earlier.
Zhang Huangyan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Qian Xiaole, the assistant minister, were both people who were implicated in the Chongzhen Dynasty due to party disputes, and they had been idle in their hometown for several years, and they were well aware of the corruption of the Ming Dynasty.
When it was getting dark, the ministers dispersed, Wang Lanping also returned to the house, and at the same time came back with Fang Ling and the crown prince Zhu Ciqi, even if Queen Jin was pregnant with his child, it was impossible to fully believe her, how to say that she was the queen of the Ming Dynasty, not Wang Lanping's queen, maybe using the prince to blackmail her was not bright enough, but this is also the only reason to convince the other party.
That night, Wang Lanping called Fang Ling to his side, took out an object, and handed it to her.
Fang Ling didn't know this thing, and asked, "What is this?" β
Wang Lanping nodded, "This is the transfer talisman of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, with it, you can mobilize the Nanjing Garrison Battalion, the Yangtze River Naval Division and the Yulin Guard at any time, this thing is more effective than the Holy Decree."
Fang Ling was so frightened that he hurriedly put the letter on the table, and his face was pale, "This, such an important thing, what does King Han do to the girl?"
Wang Lanping took her hand and stuffed it, "You are the most reassuring person for me, if there is something, you can use it to transfer troops, Li Dingguo and Song Xian will definitely listen, after I leave, I will leave someone for you to help you, you can ask him if you have something."
"Who?"
"Gan Hui!"
Fang Ling said: "He seems to be the envoy who sent Princess Zheng here, he hasn't left Nanjing yet?" β
"No, he's working for me now, but this is a villain who betrays his lord, you have to guard against him"
Fang Ling was puzzled, "Since he is a villain, why does the King of Han still believe in him"
Wang Lanping snorted, "The villain has the use of the villain, at least he can't go back now, he will be a mourning dog without me"
With Gan Hui's repeated contributions, Wang Lanping solved a lot of problems in a short period of time, as soon as the 20,000 sailors sent by the Zheng family arrived in Zhenjiang, Gan Hui personally went out, with his understanding of the Zheng family's sailors, he quickly attracted a group of middle and lower-level generals who were pro-Han kings, and also took the opportunity to replace a wave, almost giving the three sailors thousands of households to the air, and at the same time Wang Lanping used the three commanders in the name of the imperial court, and returned Shi Lang's family, and the three were promoted to the chief officers together, and the entire navy was divided into four, except for the original Zheng three generals in charge of the three armies, The other army was directly under the Nanjing Garrison Yamen, and was jointly in charge of the drills of the naval division and the defense of the Yangtze River, all of which were under the command of the Nanjing Garrison Battalion.
Also, Gan Hui offered a plan, this time he took 20,000 sailors, he must be like thunder, then give him another sweet date, since Zheng Zhilong wants to make waves in the sea, okay, the court issued a clear order: to blame Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Zhejiang, to drive out the Yangyi, and open up the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of sea territory.
The Ryukyu Island, which was isolated overseas and entrenched by the Dutch, was reincorporated into the Chinese territory, and then used it as a springboard for him to attack Japan and the South Seas in the next step. Fulfill Wang Lanping's promise to him: the mainland is the mother and dominates the Quartet.
I heard that the Dutch had built a number of fortified castles on Ryukyu Island, and their strength should not be underestimated, even if Zheng Zhilong could take Ryukyu, the western expedition would almost be over.
Anyway, no matter whether Zheng Zhilong wins or loses, he will be greatly injured, and the threat to Wang Lanping is even smaller, and all this Wang Lanping and Gan Hui know that he will not refuse this order, and conquering the sea has always been his dream.
Just when the holy decree was transmitted to Fujian, Gan Hui made another trick, and the envoy of Dashun Li Laixiang had not been staying in Nanjing all the time, and openly played the banner of the envoy and asked the Ming court to receive him.
According to Gan Hui's plan, the emperor appointed Wang Ding, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, as the reception and full authority to deal with the matter of pseudo-obedience.
When Wang Ding heard that the puppet envoy said that he was only here for the peace talks between the two countries, and the envoy proposed several clauses such as taking the Yangtze River as the boundary and non-aggression against each other, Wang Ding was furious when he heard it and flatly refused.
But Gan Hui's strategy is to force Wang Ding, let him submit the envoy's letter of state to the imperial court in the name of the Ming envoy, the result can be imagined, the one who broke through the city of Beijing is the thief, how can the Ming Dynasty negotiate peace with him, Wang Ding's book is on the book, the Manchu Dynasty is in an uproar, Wang Lanping directly dismissed Wang Ding and put him in prison, with Wang Ding's dismissal, Wang Lanping secretly instigated some officials to intercede for Wang Ding for the long-term stability of the country, and vigorously advocated that peace is an expedient measure at present, which is conducive to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Wang Lanping is a good person left and right, he is the one who catches Wang Ding, and he is also the one who releases Wang Ding, and successfully negotiated a peace treaty with Li Laixiang's Shun State, the two countries guard the border, and the Ming Dynasty recognizes the legitimacy of the Dashun Emperor and is a brotherly state to each other, but refuses to make peace, and agrees that if the Manchurians come to attack, the two sides will fight the enemy together.
This is what Wang Lanping really wants to achieve, he wants to go west smoothly, the biggest hidden danger is Li Laixiang, now it's okay, it's just that Wang Ding suffered an injustice in vain.
As soon as the connoisseur's work is made, Gan Hui will help Wang Lanping a lot with three strategies, although it is a villain, Wang Lanping will definitely use it, just like Cao Cao used Sima Yi back then, both to use it and to prevent it, with him helping Fang Ling in Nanjing, it is expected that there will be no major event.
Moreover, there is a queen with a big belly in the middle of the court, who is threatening hundreds of officials, and she has no worries about the west.
In the last two days of May, Wang Lanping frequently appeared in the battalions of the Western Expedition that had been assembled, as well as in the Nanjing Soldiers and Horses Division and the garrison yamen, but whenever he met with any general, Fang Ling must have accompanied him like a shadow, this trick really worked very quickly, Fang Ling not only showed her head in the court, but even the military generals at all levels in Nanjing City respected her, and the limelight surpassed that of the Han Wang and the concubine.
The grain supervisor of the western expedition was Zheng Hongkui, a scholar of Dongge University, who had escorted 500,000 stone of military grain to set off two days before the army set out, all of which were transported along the river by water.
Before the expedition, Wang Lanping closed the door to thank the guests, only with the four wives and concubines to talk about homely things, each other cherished, before the palace door was locked, he came to the palace again, the two met in a small attic outside the palace gate.
For Wang Lanping's departure, Jin Yujiao is sad from the heart, after all, she has his flesh and blood in her belly, once this battle starts, what year and month will she return, she really hopes that the King of Han can be by her side at the moment of the birth of the child, she is even more afraid that the King of Han will die on the battlefield, without the King of Han, how can she face the child in her belly and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, she has mixed feelings, she can only throw herself into Wang Lanping's arms and cry bitterly.
The beauty is full of arms, and the future is uncertain, all Wang Lanping can do is to touch her stomach to comfort her and motivate herself: the army will soon be able to return to the dynasty in triumph.
Queen Jin's delicate face was full of tears, and she said sadly: "I gave birth to this child with the name of you who was scolded by Qianfu, you must come back alive, I will wait for you with the child"
Wang Lanping nodded solemnly, hugged her tightly in his arms, kissed each other endlessly, and with the sound of a palace drum, the two said goodbye.
**
The method of being a big soldier in the Yulin Army also came to the Han Palace, this is the first time he came back to see his sister since he was transferred to the military position, I thought that he, the person who came out of the Han King, could give a small position in the army, but I didn't expect to go to report to know that he was just a small soldier, and he had no face to see the little sister until the eve of the expedition.
Fang Ling cares about this brother very much, the two have been dependent on each other on the streets of Nanjing for a few months, relying on her brother to take care of her, and I don't know if I can come back when King Shunhan goes out this time.
Following the door, Fang Ling came to the Zunyi Gate of the palace, only to see that the method was squatting by the outer wall, wearing a Yulin guard uniform.
"Brother!" Fang Ling stood on the steps and shouted, "Why don't you go in?"
The method used to be a guard in the house, and it was still convenient to get in and out.
Method scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and didn't speak.
Fang Ling snorted, looked at him and said, "You are quite energetic in wearing this, don't be careful, King Han has his unspeakable secrets in doing this, and he can't let other people chew their tongues."
The method smiled chicly, "Little sister, don't say it, brother understands, I don't blame King Han, I just said goodbye to you this time, I will go on the expedition tomorrow, there are no eyes on the battlefield, if my brother can't come back, you have to take good care of yourself, hey, you are the princess, and my brother is also worrying" He couldn't help but turn his face away as he spoke.
Fang Ling was sad for a while, took his hand and complained: "Brother, don't say these unlucky words, promise me, you must come back, ah, you are not by King Han's side now, everything must be careful"
Method smiled bitterly: "I thought that I would no longer have to be a guard by the side of King Han in the future, and I would rely on my own ability to surrender to the ground, but I heard that this expedition to our Yulin Right Guard is as a Chinese army, with King Han, I am still his bodyguard, you say, I can't do without him"
Fang Ling was straight, "You will be content with you, he wants to protect you"
The method said: "But I just want to earn a career by my own ability, not by my sister's relationship, you understand, I am a man, I am also a martial artist, and I was a four-rank guard with a knife in the Han Palace, and now it is good, the head soldier of the four-rank official rank, I have never heard of it, I am embarrassed to mention it to others"
Fang Ling couldn't straighten his waist with a smile, covered his mouth and said: "It's right that my brother can think like this, King Han is just afraid that you are so ambitious, and wants you to be down-to-earth, and when you come back from the Western Expedition, you may be a general with troops, how prestigious"
The method sighed and said: "It's easy to say, I heard that this time in the westward expedition to Sichuan, that Zhang Xianzhong has a million troops, as well as the king of Gui and the governor of Liangguang in Yunnan also rebelled, and he is waiting for the king of Han on the way, the king of Han only brought a total of 80,000 people, and the murder is more auspicious."
Fang Ling's face immediately pale, "Then, can you win the fight?" β
The method spread his hands, "Leave it to fate, but don't worry, I will definitely protect the King of Han, although I am no longer his guard, who dares to take my sister's beloved, I will fight with him" He clenched his fist vigorously as he spoke.
Fang Ling had tears in his eyes, "You all have to come back safely"
***
On the first day of the sixth month, 50,000 soldiers gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, and hundreds of civil and military officials accompanied Empress Jin to the city tower and read out the edict of rebellion:
Zhang Xianzhong, a thief in the west, caused chaos in the Central Plains, poisoned Xichuan, and put the people of Li in fire and water...... I am the livelihood of the whole world, and the king of Han is a rebellious general, leading 300,000 troops to fight against rebellion...... Panqing passed on the good news early......
After listening to Han Zanzhou's loud reading, Wang Lanping led the people to receive an edict under the city.
The salute roared at the head of the city, and in the smoke of gunpowder, Wang Lanping came out in armor.
In front of the three armies, Wang Lanping galloped wildly on the white horse, and then returned to the Chengtian Gate, pulled out the sword, held it high, and said loudly: "Swing Sichuan!" β
50,000 soldiers shouted in unison, "Flatten the ...... of Sichuan"
This momentum is enough to make the whole city fearful.
"Expedition!"
The mighty Ming army slowly drove out of Nanjing City from Zhengyang Gate, and Queen Jin held back her tears and touched her stomach and said secretly: Jun Xun, you must come back! Don't let the prince die on the battlefield.
Wang Lanping did not look back, after the army went out of the city, the army was divided into two routes, 18,000 people all the way under his personal command, with Cao Dingjiao's Dingyuan battalion as the forward, with Song Dali's 5,000 Yulin right guard as the middle army, and marched west through Moling Pass.
The other way along the river is for the three battalions of Weiyuan, Zhenyuan and Pingyuan, and board the ship at the Dashengguan ferry port and go west.
On the other hand, the Anyuan Battalion Fang Guoan Department and the Huaiyuan Battalion Chen Wanliang Department of the Anyuan Battalion, which were originally in Huizhou, also set off at the same time, and more than 10,000 troops from the former Western Army of Huizhou were placed under the jurisdiction of Zheng Sen, the Soldiers and Horses Division of Huizhou, as a transit station for the follow-up grain and grass of the army.
