Chapter 605: Offensive and Defensive Difficulties
It is not easy to defend Jiujiang City, and now Zhu Houzhao has passed on a restraining decree to Wang Shouren, he really looks up to Wang Shengren, Wang Shouren's recent alcohol addiction has been stimulated by Zhu Houzhao even more, and he is worried.
Talents are also talents, but the feeling of doing things under the faint monarch is very different from doing things under the Ming monarch, at least the wise Hongzhi Emperor will definitely not give such a faint holy decree.
Outside the city, the anti-army banners were unfurled, the voices of the people were boiling, and the black pressure was like a group of ants surrounding a piece of carrion, of course, Zhu Chenhao could not use all 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack a city, and the soldiers and horses surrounding Jiujiang City had recently divided their troops one after another, and the troops were divided into two groups to march to Wuchang in Huguang and Huizhou in Nanzhili.
Before the official counterinsurgency order of the imperial court spread all over the world, the only one who could stop Zhu Chenhao at the moment was Wang Shouren, and the burden on Wang Shouren's shoulders was not light, he not only had to defend Jiujiang City without losing, but also divided Zhu Chenhao to attack Wuchang and Huizhou's two armies and horses to contain it, so as not to make this rebellion prolong the world.
This is really a very difficult and troublesome thing, to be honest, Wang Shouren has been quite difficult to defend Jiujiang City, no matter how wise he is to stick to it, after all, there are only less than 10,000 rabble, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao also gave him a holy decree to tie his hands and feet......
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao has the identity of an emperor, otherwise there are many people in the world who have an impure relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhang with their mouths, including Wang Shengren.
…………
…………
No matter how much I disagree with this holy decree, since it is next. Wang Shouren couldn't help but abide by it, he didn't want to be sent to some unknown rural wasteland after this war, and stay for a few years or even half a lifetime, and that kind of place had nothing to do except for widows.
For thousands of years, there have been many literati and poets in this ancient land, but there are only a few who are really called saints, so saints are not so easy to be, they not only have to work their muscles and bones, but also starve their bodies and skin. Experience hardships that ordinary people can't even imagine. And you must have enough knowledge and enough wisdom to solve all your own or other people's problems.
In the face of King Ning's rebellion and the current situation in Jiujiang City, Wang Shouren sat in the arrow tower and poured most of the jar of spirits. He came up with a solution.
With slightly drunk eyes, he glanced at Qian Ning, who was not leaving the door of the arrow tower. Wang Shouren burped. Said lightly: "Qian Ning ......"
"Yes." Channing bowed with a knife.
"You and your men, sneak out of the city and do something for me......"
"What do you command?" Qian Ning was a little excited, following Wang Shouren for so long. He knew that this Lord Wang had the ability to reach the sky, and the things he ordered must play a key role in reversing the current stalemate between the enemy and us, and at the same time, it also meant a heavy military feat.
Wang Shouren hiccuped again, raised his hand and pointed to the anti-army camp in the distance outside the city, as well as Zhu Chenhao's handsome white tent in the middle of the camp, and said with a smile: "Do you see that big tent?" ”
"See."
"It should be easy to rush in and cut off Zhu Chenhao's head for me, right?"
Qian Ning's face turned extremely pale, and he said sadly: "Lord Wang......"
"Ha Lu Ha...... Tease you! Wang Shouren patted Qian Ning's shoulder vigorously, and handed the small half jar of wine in his hand to Qian Ning's mouth, Qian Ning hesitated, but finally opened his mouth and poured a few sips of wine, and his white face quickly turned red.
"Select dozens of people from your subordinates, and I will order the city Chinese officials to copy hundreds of proclamations, and you will send people out of the city and spread them to all the towns and cities near Jiujiang......"
The excitement on Qian Ning's face faded: "That's it? ”
Wang Shouren glanced at him and said slowly: "If you are still unsatisfied, there is still more courage to ......."
Pointing to Zhu Chenhao's handsome tent outside the city, Wang Shouren said, "Do you see that big tent?" ”
Qian Ning was full of excitement, and hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed: "You must do it under the mark, otherwise you will come to see you." ”
Looking up at Wang Shouren, Qian Ning added: "And when you finish it, you will go back, and it will not be much." ”
Wang Shouren nodded unhappily or sadly, obviously he still hoped that Qian Ning would do more.
Seeing Qian Ning's back and leave in a hurry, Wang Shouren sighed, not knowing whether it was for himself or for Qian Ning.
Qin Kan sent Qian Ning to his side to protect him, it was not without intention, Wang Shouren could also see that Qian Ning was not right-eyed and had an evil character, in this sword and sword Jiujiang City, it was actually very simple to find an opportunity to kill Qian Ning.
However, a saint is a saint after all, and he is abused without teaching, and before Qian Ning did anything wrong, Wang Shouren couldn't kill him after all.
The unfulfilled intention of the old friend had to be disappointed.
*********************************************************************
Hundreds of notices spread and spread around Jiujiang City overnight.
These notices were quickly forwarded by the people in the nearby towns, and the content was almost a notice to the people, which roughly meant that the Jingshi court knew that Ning rebelled against Zhu Chenhao and rebelled, but the rebels were just some bandits and bandits, a rabble, the order of the imperial court had reached Jiujiang, and the rebel division was about to enter Jiangxi, among which the governor Xu Tai led 50,000 troops from the south road, the governor Liu Hui led 40,000 troops from the east road, the governor of Tingjiang Wang Shouren, and the governor of Huguang Qin Jin, Yang Dan, the governor of Liangguang, has received an order from the imperial court at the same time, and the army will be launched immediately, with a total of 160,000 troops divided into a joint attack, in order to pacify the rebels......
The anti-army camp outside Jiujiang City naturally intercepted many notices, and these notices were quickly passed to Zhu Chenhao.
Zhu Chenhao jumped to his feet and scolded in the handsome tent, not mentioning other content, the words "rabble" on the notice deeply touched Zhu Chenhao's fragile and fragile little heart.
Who is the rabble? You, Wang Shouren, are the rabble! Your whole family is a rabble!
The officers and soldiers defending the city were incomplete in their weapons and armor, and those soldiers did not stand when they killed the warriors under the command of the king. Dying at the hands of this rabble, the warriors of this king don't know how humiliating Lu Dao is, you are so embarrassed to say that I am a rabble?
Do you want face? Shame or not?
Zhu Chenhao greeted Wang Shouren endlessly in the tent for half an hour, and then began to face the content of the notice.
This content made him quite frightened.
Zhu Chenhao's face was cloudy, and his eyebrows kept jumping.
In fact, if this proclamation seems to be very false in the eyes of outsiders, the so-called orders of the imperial court, the so-called governor of Huguang, and the governor of Liangguang were ordered to attack and quell the rebellion, etc., there are many loopholes if you carefully scrutinize them.
However, Zhu Chenhao is not outside the game, he is in the game. The rebellion had put his and his family's lives on the table. Gains and losses are so important that he can't afford to be careless, and a small mistake in judgment may lead to a different place.
Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng also sat in the handsome tent, looking at Zhu Chenhao's uncertain face. The two were silent.
Originally, everything was slowly realized according to their plan. In addition to the capture of Ji'an Province, it took a few more days. And except for the Jiujiang City in front of him, which is a bit difficult to bite, other things are going well, and Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng even have a little joy and longing. The army of the imperial court is so vulnerable, maybe the prince can really take this country.
However, in Jiujiang, he met an opponent like Wang Shouren, Zhu Chenhao had calculated everything before he raised his army, but he forgot to ask a fortune teller to calculate the year for him. How happy and happy everyone is to attack and defend the city, what's the matter with you playing this rumor-mongering?
It's unreasonable!
"Lord Wang, this must be Wang Shouren's suspicious plan, Lord Wang can't ignore it, our army should quickly capture Jiujiang as the best policy!" Li Shishi finally spoke.
However, Liu Yangzheng likes to sing against Li Shishi, Li Shishi is not only the prince's in-laws, but also has the qualifications to be a court attendant, if Liu Yangzheng, who can't even pass the Jinshi exam, doesn't show his performance again, when the prince takes the country, it will only be his turn to drink soup.
"Lord Wang, why did the suspicious soldiers come? Counting the days when we started the army, we were delayed for more than ten days under the city of Ji'an, and we were delayed for half a month under the city of Jiujiang, and we still can't break the city, and there is still a month, according to the time of the imperial court's military post and fast horses, the imperial court passed down the order at about this time, and the students thought that the news spread by Wang Shouren was very likely to be true, and the imperial court should also take action. ”
Li Shishi is angry, Liu Yangzheng always targets him everywhere on weekdays, he has a lot of energy and can bear it, but this is a major matter related to his family's life, this Liu Yangzheng still doesn't know the severity, blindly opposes it in order to compete for favor and show himself, how can this be endured?
"The prince can't listen to Liu Yangzheng's nonsense! This is indeed Wang Shouren's suspicious plan, don't forget, we have divided two troops and horses to attack Wuchang and Huizhou, Wang Shouren's purpose is to make the prince panic, the soldiers and horses sent out to withdraw, and then the court gathers to attack it, this is Wang Shouren's plan, the prince must not be fooled! ”
Zhu Chenhao hesitated, and when he heard the two arguing, his face became more and more pale.
One step to heaven, one step to hell, is talking about his current situation. Whether this step is left or right directly determines whether he lives or dies.
Zhu Chenhao finally understood his ancestor at this moment, why Zhu Quan, the first generation of King Ning, did not dare to rebel against Emperor Yongle until the day he died, these days he realized that rebellion is simply not a human thing, training the army, balancing subordinates, attacking and defending, the most annoying and painful thing is now, when the situation forces him to make a judgment about his life and death.
Zhu Chenhao even faintly felt a little remorse in his heart.
What kind of rebellion, what's wrong with continuing to be the carefree prince who has no power but is rich, and the palace has wives and concubines? Why did the brains get down the road today?
In the handsome tent, Zhu Chenhao paced back and forth in front of Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, pondering for half an hour, and then spoke with a solemn expression.
"Order, the two armies that attacked Wuchang and Huizhou should be withdrawn quickly!"
Li Shishi was anxious: "Lord Wang! ”
"Say no more!" Zhu Chenhao said with a grim expression: "Yes, this is likely to be Wang Shouren's plan, but what if what he said is true?" As Mr. Liu said, counting the days, the imperial court should almost have a reaction, Xu Tai, Liu Hui, the governor of Huguang, and the governor of Liangguang are indeed in office, and it is indeed possible to wave troops to attack, but in case of this, this king and you will be in chess together, and your life will be ruined at this step! ”
*******************************************************************
After nearly 10 days of marching, Zhu Houzhao's 200,000-strong army had approached Anqing Mansion.
Anqing. It is the last barrier in Nanjing, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight, if Zhu Chenhao breaks Anqing, Nanjing must be in his bag, if Nanjing is a bewitching beauty, then Anqing is the most beautiful belly pocket on this beauty, Zhu Chenhao stripped off the belly pocket of this beauty, and he can play hooligan to her unscrupulously.
What Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan want to do is to do their best to protect this beauty's belly pocket, and then add an iron chastity belt to this beauty.
No matter how faint others are when they scold Zhu Houzhao openly and secretly. But Zhu Houzhao has an advantage that no one can deny among the 200,000 soldiers today.
Zhu Houzhao, who was in the army, reversed his lazy and playful temperament when he was in the Jingshi Palace and the leopard room. The march along the way, whether it is the food and grass of the rear army, or the scouts of the front army, the daily distance, the location of the camp, etc. It was all his orders. Each command is remarkable. And it is vigorous and resolute, even veterans such as Zhu Hui, who has been in the army all his life, are also praised, and he is a little sincere when he praises. That's not enough for outsiders.
I'm afraid that only when Zhu Houzhao muttered day and night the worried words that he hoped that Wang Shouren would not extinguish Zhu Chenhao too early, he could slightly see a little bit of the brilliance of the little faint monarch of the Jingshi.
It was not an easy task to march quickly, but the emperor didn't say that he was tired, and Qin Kan's courtiers naturally had no complaints.
Today, we camped in the wilderness more than 80 miles away from Anqing, and the camp was firmly entrenched, surrounded by fences, camp tents, gates, and rejecting horses...... Everything is meticulously arranged.
After setting up camp, Qin Kan hid in his big tent, Ding Shun and his personal guards borrowed a huge bathtub from the emperor's guard of honor, Ding Shun and others boiled a few pots of hot water and poured it into the basin, when the temperature was about the same, Qin Kan took off his clothes and went into the basin, half lying in it and exhaled comfortably.
The march was too hard, Rao is Qin Kan didn't have to walk every day, but every day on a horse, the inner thigh was also ground by the saddle and bloody, after being drugged by the military doctor, the taste of pain and itching was really uncomfortable.
Ding Shun lifted the curtain of the big tent and walked in, his walking posture was sneaky, and the appearance of the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes when he approached was extremely hateful.
"Grandpa, you are a noble and decent person, and it is really embarrassing for your subordinates to let you bathe alone......"
Qin Kan's eyelids jumped, he glanced Ding Shun up and down, and said, "What do you mean?" Stay away from me, get out of the house now, I don't like you yet, Grandpa. ”
"Yes, yes, the subordinates were originally hesitant to buy two innocent yellow flower girls for the grandfather in a nearby farmhouse, but later found that the risk was too great, so they had to give up ......"
Qin Kan was slightly angry: "You are becoming more and more lawless, if you really did this, now your head has been hung on the flagpole, didn't you see the strictness of the army under Your Majesty?" Is the army a place where women can come in? ”
"Yes, yes, the subordinates know their mistakes, fortunately, the subordinates are on the precipice...... Ding Shun paused, and said: "Grandpa, just now there was news from the Jinyi Wei spies, and Jiujiang City ......is a little hanging."
Qin Kan's eyebrows were cold: "What's the matter?" ”
"Zhu Chenhao's troops surrounded Jiujiang for half a month and did not resist, but Jiujiang was outnumbered after all, and every day was not as good as a day, and all kinds of rumors were flying on the ground in Jiangxi, Zhu Chenhao and Wang Shouren were a little dizzy, and they didn't dare to attack easily......"
"What rumors?"
Zhu Chenhao Nanchang raised troops, and the spies found out that his men and horses were actually only 100,000, but Zhu Chenhao claimed that there were 400,000, Wang Shouren didn't know whether he was stimulated or wanted to compare with Zhu Chenhao, and said that there were 350,000 defenders in Jiujiang City, and later Zhu Chenhao was not to be outdone, and said that 200,000 new troops were recruited, and Wang Shouren was not to be outdone, saying that one million of the imperial court Wang Shi was 100 miles away from Jiujiang City, and the morning and evening came...... This cowhide is blowing, tsk, it's so shameless, and the subordinates want to kneel for these two. Grandpa, you often say that Wang Shouren is a saint who is rare in a thousand years, this ...... Is it a word of conscience? ”
