Ten days after Zhai Zhe's presentation, the 100 cavalry of Ning Shaojun Town escorted Fan Yi and the seven-year-old son of the general soldier, Zhai Tianjian, to Nanjing.

In the winter month, Chen Zilong brought an edict from Ma Shiying and 100,000 taels of silver to Ningshao to reward the army.

At this time, the camp of Ningshao Town had moved to the remote Tiantai Mountain.

After inspecting the steaming barracks in winter, looking at the calm Zhai Zhe, Chen Zilong felt a sense of regret. Although he was a newly recruited soldier, looking at the momentum and vigor in the training, and hearing the surging song of the Qiantang River, such a strong army could only be left idle in a remote place in eastern Zhejiang.

"General Zhai Bing, there will be the day of your Northern Expedition."

"Of course!" Zhai Zhe clapped his hands and laughed, "If Brother Wozi becomes an assistant, maybe there will be a day." ”

Chen Zilong panicked in his heart, "This kind of thing is not a joke." ”

Steady dìng's mind, he thought about it again, and still said regret, "It's really condescending to let you be buried in the land of eastern Zhejiang." ”

"Unyielding, Zhedong is a good place, Brother Wozi doesn't know how many princes I have in Zhedong now?" Zhai Zhe curled his fingers and counted them, "King Zhou and King Chong are in Shaoxing, and King Lu is in Taizhou, isn't it a good place?" ”

After Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, these princes originally wanted to ask for their lives to stay in Nanjing for refuge, but Hongguang did not allow it, and sent these people to various places in eastern Zhejiang.

Royal affairs, please, how can you comment on it without permission, Chen Zilong smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

Sending Chen Zilong away, the silver here was not yet hot in his hand, and it was quickly put into the general account of Ning Shao's General Military Mansion to buy crude iron, and make iron armor and bird guns. Taking advantage of the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Baitou Army, Ning Shaojun Town recruited all the craftsmen from Jinhua Mansion and Quzhou into the guard station, and kept manufacturing armaments day and night.

The slogans of the soldiers and the sound of the drill bird guns made the foot of Tiantai Mountain uneasy.

Although the place of Tiantai Mountain is remote, its reputation is not small. Liang Buddhist monk Zhiyi of the Southern Dynasty built a temple here, founded the famous Tiantai Sect, to the Sui Dynasty and was ordered to build the Qing Temple, there are a number of Qing monks on the mountain, often step on the straw sandals up and down, pass by the side of the barracks, the two do not interact with each other.

There is no holiday in Ningshao Military Town during this Spring Festival, and the sea breeze is raging, and the soldiers still have to be familiar with and practice various weapons and battle formations under the urging of the commander.

Fan Yi stayed in Nanjing for Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was correspondence between her and Zhai Zhe, but Zhai Zhe did not dare to let her return. Because it is almost certain that Zuo Liangyu is likely to go down the river and invade Nanjing after the beginning of spring.

The military salaries of the imperial court arrived on time, and it was still very smooth to collect the armor from the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau, but the quality of those armor and firearms was really not complimentary. The craftsmen of Ningshao Military Town are limited, and the 10,000 soldiers who were only recruited this year cannot be matched with armor for the time being.

Zhai Zhe knew that Ma Shiying must be staring at him, so he rarely returned to Ningbo Mansion and stayed in the Tiantai Mountain Barracks most of the time. It's been a long time since I've practiced with the sergeant, and since he was in the barracks, he also felt Zuo Ruo's crazy training again, and Zuo Ruo wasn't polite to him.

The mountains don't know the years.

Not long after the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere in Jiangnan became even more tense.

Ma Shiying ordered Chen Zilong to come with 50,000 taels of silver to reward the army.

The army of Ning Shaojun Town honestly stayed at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, and Zhai Zhe made a note every three days, telling the details of the recent military training, and the real purpose was in the heart of the An court.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and when the grass on the mountain pulls out its buds, more than a dozen war horses are running on the official road from Ningbo Mansion to Taizhou barracks.

The knight slapped urgently, and the war horse galloped happily.

The group arrived outside the barracks, showed the token, and the guards put it into the big tent of the Chinese army to report.

Zong Mao trotted all the way, and Fang Yizhi followed closely behind him.

When he arrived at the gate of the big tent of the Chinese army, Fang Jin was introduced, Zong Mao hurriedly rushed in, saw Zhai Zhe, and shouted: "Gao Jie is dead!"

"What?" Zhai Zhe was taken aback.

"Gao Jie led the army to Henan to guide Germany to do the Northern Expedition, and was killed in the camp of Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Henan, and Xu Dingguo went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

In the four towns of Jiangbei, Gao Jie's soldiers and horses are the most prosperous, and he has always had the intention of the Northern Expedition, but several other people did not support it, so he led the troops to the north alone, but he did not expect the rank to become Xu Dingguo's vote.

Zhai Zhe's heart was cold, not for Gao Jie's death, but because no one could believe it. The military towns do not trust each other and are wary of each other, how can this battle be fought.

Zong Mao took out a notice from his sleeve and said, "My lord, there is one more thing, Zuo Liangyu has raised troops!" This is the text. ”

Zhai Zhe took it, read it carefully, threw it aside, his anger did not subside, and he scolded: ""Feng Prince's secret edict", "Qing Jun's side", it is still the same trick to get around. ”

Zong Mao also gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the Donglin Party's pouting, Zuo Liangyu might not have acted like this." He didn't agree with Da Ming, but surrounded by strong enemies, his family was still fighting in the nest, and no one could stand it.

Zhai Zhe saw Fang Yizhi, who was following behind him with an embarrassed expression, and asked, "Fang Yizhi, what do you think?" ”

Fang Yizhi struggled for a moment and sighed: "Zuo Hou made a big mistake!" He still never mentioned the fault of the Donglin Party, which made Zhai Zhe angry and vigilant.

The scourge of party strife, even for a person like Fang Yizhi who has suffered, still can't erase it. On the other hand, if he hadn't traced his origin with the Donglin Party, Fang Yizhi would not have escaped into his barracks.

"Fang Yizhi, in your opinion, should I raise troops!" Zhai Zhe stood up from his seat, his face pale.

The muscles of Fang Yizhi's cheeks tightened, his face was slightly distorted, and after a long time, he spit out two words like a rock, "It shouldn't be." ”

"You're wrong!" Zhai Zhe reprimanded angrily, "If it weren't for the imperial court's relationship with Donglin, if it weren't for the fact that Fu didn't trust me, I would have raised troops to defeat Zuo Liangyu." ”

Zong Mao looked at Fang Yizhi with sympathetic eyes.

In the past six months, he and Fang Yizhi have been in charge of the military quartermaster of Ningshao Military Town, and the accounts have been clear in Fang Yizhi's hands. The amount of rice at sunrise, the amount of armor and bird guns produced by the guard, are all ripe in the chest. Let him, the person whose eyes are above the top, also secretly admire.

"The disaster of the Ming Dynasty, the disaster of Jiangnan, is the Donglin Restoration Society guilty?"

Fang Yizhi's eyes widened and he roared: "Yes, but who in this world is not guilty?" Is Junzhen innocent? Is 陛xià innocent? ”

"Since they are all guilty, is there a difference between Donglin and the eunuchs?"

Fang Yizhi was silent, "A raccoon dog!" ”

Zhai Zhe squeezed out a smile, "I hope you don't forget what you said today." ”

After Zhai Zhe explained some more things, Zong Mao quickly left. Soon after, the deserted Ningshao military town suddenly became the focus of Jiangnan, the envoys of the imperial court, the Donglin party were running here, Zhai Zhe ordered Meng Kang to block the road to Tiantai Mountain, and only the envoys of the festival could enter. After Fang Yizhi returned to Ningbo Mansion, he asked himself to look at Zhoushan Island to escape from his former friends.

Spring is getting stronger.

On the path of Tiantai Mountain, where only monks usually appear, a group of people are walking leisurely. Zhai Zhe, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin and Li Zhian pointed out the scenery along the way and praised each other.

There are many hanging rocks, cliffs, and waterfalls on Tiantai Mountain, and the birds and flowers are fragrant all the way, and everyone is dizzying, and the tension brought by urgent military affairs is swept away.

"This place is comparable to a paradise, no wonder there were hermits hiding in the Zhongnan Mountain in ancient times to raise their worth." Zhai Zhe was in good spirits, and his words were intentional. Since Zuo Liangyu raised his army, the imperial court has taken special care of Ning Shaojun Town and rewarded him continuously.

Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin and others were not as relaxed as Zhai Zhe, and several of them knew the changes in the current situation.

If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, and the thieves who are being pursued by the Qing captives in the Central Plains will flee from the wind, when will they wait? But none of them could guess Zhai Zhe's thoughts.

Several people had their own thoughts, climbed all the way to the Guoqing Temple on the top of the mountain, and saw thirty or forty thin monks bowing their heads and lowering their eyes, chanting scriptures, cleaning monks' rooms, chopping wood and carrying water, each performing their duties.

When the four of them arrived at the gate of the temple, a monk who knew the guest came out with his palms together.

"Amitabha!"

Zhai Zhe stepped forward and saluted with his palms together, "Zhai Zhe in the military camp at the foot of the mountain below, is Zen Master Xingyun in the temple?" ”

"The abbot went out on a tour five days ago, and it was really unfortunate that the general came."

Xingyun Zen Master is a famous monk of Tiantai Sect, Zhai Zhe wanted to see it, but he heard that he was not there, and he regretted it a little.

Under the guidance of the monk Zhike, the four of them worshiped the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the halls of Guoqing Temple, and each put on a few pillars of incense before saying goodbye and going down the mountain.

They are all murderous people, and it is useless to put incense in front of the Buddha.

The news of Nanjing City continued to spread to eastern Zhejiang, and Xiao Zhiyan was anxious like an ant in a hot pot, but he could only be helpless. Without Zhai Zhe by his side, he was at a loss in the face of the situation of landslides and ground cracks, and he didn't know what to do.

Zuo Liangyu's army was known as 800,000, and the momentum was huge, and Ma Shiying mobilized soldiers and horses from the four towns of Jiangbei to resist in a panic, while appeasing Zhai Zhe in eastern Zhejiang.

JAC emptiness.

On April 10, Huang Degong broke Zuo Liangyu in Chizhou, and on April 14, 60,000 troops of the Qing army broke through Xuzhou, attacked the Huai River, and surrounded Yangzhou.

Two days after the news reached Nanjing, the messenger rushed to the barracks at the foot of Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang on the fifth day.

Zhai Zhe beat the drum and raised the tent, and when everyone came, he ordered Liu to inform the generals of the news of Jiangbei with the wind.

None of the generals in the tent remained unchanged.

Zuo Ruo's right hand was trembling slightly, and Meng Kang, who was usually the noisiest, was also silent.

It's so fast, it's suffocatingly fast.

There were 200,000 soldiers and horses in the four towns of Jiangbei, and there were 150,000 troops between Jianghuai, so there was not even a decent battle to defend the city.

Zhai Zhe's face was covered with a layer of haze, and he stood for a long time with the handle of the knife in his hand, and finally ordered: "The army set up camp and drove to Hangzhou overnight, and the chariot led 1,200 light horsemen to Nanjing to meet Vice General Xiao." ”

The tent was put away on a trailer, and the war horse was put on a chew.

The soldiers were armed with knives, guns, and cannons, and marched in a queue in the direction of Hangzhou Mansion overnight.

The car wind rate rode away like the wind, Zhai Zhe gave him the order from the Tonglu Mountain Road to the north, bypassing the Qiantang River, from Guangde Mansion to Nanjing, this road has fewer waterways and more mountain roads, although it has a big bend, but it avoids the trouble of crossing the river.

Zhai Zhe led the army to march for four days and arrived at the Qiantang River, and the general army of Zhejiang on the other side of the river, Fang Guoan, waited for him.

Ren Tiancheng, the governor of Zhejiang, learned of the movement of Ning Shaojun's town, and ordered someone to cross the river to send a letter, "I was ordered by the imperial court to guard the bank of the Qiantang River, and without the order of the Ministry of War, General Zhai could not lead the army to leave Ningshao." ”

No matter how well-behaved Zhai Zhe was, Ma Shiying never lost his guard against him. Sitting in his position, how could it be that with Zhai Zhe's few letters, his wife and son would hand over their lives and national capital to the trust of others.

This was Zhai Zhe's promise to the imperial court a few months ago, but now the situation is very different. Zhai Zhe wrote a letter and sent it across the river, but Ren Tiancheng and Fang Guoan were resolute, without the order of the imperial court, the soldiers and horses of Ningshao Town would never be able to cross the Qiantang River.

The generals in the account circulated the letters of the governor of Zhejiang.

"Fang Guoan has 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, what do you think?"

Li Zhi'an and Feng Qin did not speak.

Zuo Ruo knelt down on one knee and begged for an order: "I am willing to capture Hangzhou for my lord." ”

"How many days will it break?"

"It can be broken in three days."

The letter turned around in the tent and then passed back to his hand, Zhai Zhe clamped it with two fingers, and with a little force, it was broken into two with a sound of "z", and the movement in his hand became faster and faster, and the letter finally turned into pieces of confetti and fell to the ground.

"Is it okay to make a big deal?"

The generals in the tent were silent, Zuo Ruo knelt on the ground, and looked down at his chest.

There are 40,000 foot soldiers in Ningshao Town, although the troops are numerous, but there are many new soldiers, Fang Guoan is waiting for work on the other side, even if this battle is fought, it may not be as smooth as Zuo Ruo said. The Yangtze River defense line has not been lost, if the imperial court hears that Ning Shaojun is marching, how will it react?

Besides, there are also his wife and son who stayed in Nanjing, and the clothes on Zhai Zhe's back are wet.
