This sentence asked Wallace's sore spot, under the command of Commander Putmans, he fought several naval battles with the Ming Dynasty general soldiers, and almost every time he returned with a feather, although Zheng Zhilong's warships were not as large as the Dutch, and the firepower was relatively weak, but the opponent was superior in number, and often roared and swept away, mainly in the broadside battle, and fought after the fight, and retreated immediately if he could not fight. Therefore, for Wallace, the battle with Zheng Zhilong is like an elephant stepping on a mosquito, and he has no strength but no strength.

Seeing Wallace's strange and embarrassed face, Mi Yan immediately understood and asked about his shortcomings, but Mi Yan continued to reveal his scars.

"Sooner or later, the Pingbo fleet will have a battle with Zheng Zhilong, you and I should plan early, don't wait until the battle to catch blind!"

Wallace understood this sentence, so he used his answer to cover up his previous embarrassment.

"Of course you have to step up your training, of course you won't be blind!"

The fleet set sail, left Poyang Lake and returned to the Yangtze River waterway to the east, and arrived at the city of Nanjing in only three days. At this time, the Nanjing officials attached great importance to the return of the fleet, and someone had already reported it in advance, and this victory also brought back one of the three leaders of the Huangmei Thief, the "General Tianpeng"

At this time, the "Tianpeng General" had already changed his name to Shui Sheng. Although he had contributed a lot to Zhang Shi, as a thief who had reached the heavens, even Zhang Shi did not dare to make decisions in private, so he could only wait for the war to end, and then asked Mi Yan to escort the key criminals of the Huangmei thieves back to Nanjing, and let the marquis of Zhenjiao dispose of them.

Although the king of Huai rebelled, he also had the self-knowledge that he did not claim the title of emperor, but issued a document in the name of the Qing monarch. According to the strategist, it is not appropriate to call the emperor the king now, otherwise he will become the target of the public, and the top priority is to keep a low profile and fight in a high-profile manner. The Ming Taizu once used Li Shanchang's strategy, "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king" is this principle.

Shui Sheng didn't think it was enjoyable, but the other two leaders agreed, and he had to pinch his nose and admit it. However, a mere commander-in-chief still could not show his unique status, so he still used his previous title, "General Tianpeng". The scream is majestic and unpleasant. Although he was escorted back as a prisoner, because of his high consciousness as a prisoner and his contribution to the counterinsurgency, he was also quite free to move, and under the supervision of the guards, he could let off the air on the deck.

The fleet turned into the Qinhuai River, and the towering walls of Nanjing City appeared in front of everyone's eyes one by one.

"My! The city of Nanjing is almost big to the sky! ”

He has never been to Nanjing, and the largest has seen small cities of Raozhou and Nanchang, all of which are only ten miles in radius and only more than two zhang high.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The rapid and deafening sound of artillery suddenly exploded. Shui Sheng only felt that the deck under his feet was faintly shaking, and he had already had a psychological shadow on the firearm that made a violent noise in the battle of Jiujiang, and immediately subconsciously lay on the ground, holding his head in both hands.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

It's just that his actions were quickly rewarded with bursts of ridicule.

"Look at the bear he was scared of, this is the artillery battalion of our Three Guards Army greeting the fleet!"

In the ridicule, Shui Sheng quickly realized that he was ugly, but he didn't feel annoyed, but was a little complacent, reached out and wiped a few handfuls of cold sweat on his face, and stood up beautifully. can win the smile of these officers and soldiers, and he will be much more comfortable with his own control, at least he will not speak ill of himself.

Soon, the sailors who laughed at Shui Sheng were attracted by the pomp and circumstance on the shore, and the Nanjing City Gate was already visible from afar, and outside it was the neat and magnificent phalanx of the Three Guards, row after row, column after column, under the cover of the white artillery fire and smoke in the sky, it was overwhelming.

How could Shui Sheng have ever seen such a posture? Immediately dumbfounded, "My mother, I have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light now......"

As shocked as Shui Sheng were the old guys on the enemy tower in Nanjing.

Zheng Sanjun, the head of the household department in Nanjing, touched his chin and did not speak, but his eyes clearly flashed with a complicated look. In contrast, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the military department, had never seen such a method of commanding an army.

The team of tens of thousands of people is lined up in a very "phalanx" that is connected from end to side, looking at it horizontally is a straight line, counting it is a straight line, one person moves and a thousand people move together, one person is quiet and a thousand people are quiet, one person shouts and a thousand people speak in unison.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Long live Daming!"

The shouts of the mountains and tsunamis instantly drowned out the bustling city full of civil and military officials, and many people were instantly infected by this feeling, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

Occasionally, some people talk loudly in a circle.

"I heard that Li Xinshan is good at training soldiers, and today I deserved my fame!"

"If I am such a mighty teacher, the world can be determined!"

But there are also untimely voices, "Humph! What a mighty army? It's all a useless showcase! ”

His words were quickly met with ridicule.

"It is said that insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. Whoever wants to say that this is a useless showcase, he will also practice such a mighty division with thousands of people with the same arm and a thousand voices with the same voice! ”

Li Xin, who was standing in the crowd and was very inconspicuous, was expressionless, the Three Guards Army used phalanx tactics to fight, and the queue was like human breath was the most basic premise, and it was also a derivative of phalanx tactics, which was used to conduct military parades and show force to improve morale, which was very suitable.

Mixed in the crowd is also Jiang Yueguang, who has been very active recently, but his enthusiasm has decreased significantly in the past few days. The tricks and routines that can be used have been used all over again, such as publishing articles in the "Bulletin", criticizing Li Xin, criticizing the Three Guards for raising their own dignity, and watching the rebels grow. Then he organized a joint impeachment, and the appeal of the Hanlin Academy was still very appealing among the readers, and the responders were not counted for a while, and the momentum was rising.

However, Jiang Yueguang also found that these actions didn't seem to touch Li Xin, and people didn't even react, which gave him the illusion of singing a one-man show. Singing is about decency and singing against the stage. Only he, Jiang Yueguang, sings decency alone, what is this? So, Jiang Yueguang decided to pull Sun Jiao into the water again, Li Xin is a martial artist who is uneasy and plays cards, Sun Jiao can't help but answer his question about his connivance with the Three Guards, right? At this time, the exact military report finally came back from the front, and the Three Guards Army won a complete victory in Jiangxi and captured the leader of the Huangmei thieves, "General Tianpeng".

Jiang Yueguang woke up like a dream, no wonder Li Xin didn't accompany him to sing the opposite scene, it turned out that people had already been confident, and the reason why they kept silent was that they had been playing with themselves as rats! For a while, he was angry and scolded Li Xin at home for being a shameless bastard. From that day on, Jiang Yueguang suddenly died down, and there was no sound in the previous vigorous petition to drive Li overnight.

Today, seeing the mighty and imposing three-guard army phalanx under the city, Jiang Yueguang felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, his heart is dripping blood, crying, and only repeating, is it possible that the martial artists in the late Tang Dynasty are in power, and the situation of the division of the feudal towns is going to reappear in my Ming Dynasty?

After all, there are only a few people with gloomy hearts like Jiang Yueguang, and they are infected by the victory and might of the Ming army, and they are falling into an indescribable excitement. In the midst of the excited crowd, a soldier of the Three Guards quietly squeezed in and came to Li Xin's side to whisper a few words.

At the same time, there were also soap subordinates from the Nanjing Military Department who came to Gao Hongtu's side and handed over an urgent military newspaper.

Gao Hongtu's face turned stern, his hands were even a little trembling, and when he tore open the seal, he even repeated it before he succeeded, and when he finished reading the official document, his face suddenly changed.

"Marquis of Zhenyu, Marquis of Zhenlu......" He began to look for Li Xin's figure in the crowd.

The letter in Gao Hongtu's hand was written by Wei Guogong to cry blood for help, claiming that the Huangmei thief rebels suddenly launched an all-out attack, and if there were no reinforcements, Jianyangwei was only afraid that it would be broken.

Zheng Sanjun was the first to notice Gao Hongtu's abnormal behavior, and after reading the official document in his hand, his face changed drastically, and the official document was taken away by Jiang Yueguang in a daze. Wei Guogong is going to be defeated! ”

This sentence was just in time between shouts and cheers, and everyone in the neighborhood heard it really. At first, everyone didn't react, but after seeing the gloomy faces of several Shangshu, their hearts sank. This gloom spreads silently like a drop of water falling on the surface of a calm lake.

The officials who knew the news in a half-understood way all turned their eyes to Li Xin, who was standing in the corner, and his position was inconspicuous, but now it has become the focus of attention.

Seeing this situation, Li Xinxin's face was as usual, and when he came to Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the official who stood in front of him automatically and consciously jumped away.

Zheng Sanjun and Gao Hongtu looked at Li Xin blankly, waiting for him to come up with an idea. In fact, Li Xin sent Cheng Mingjiu to Taiping Mansion early in the morning, and it was Wei Guogong who sent several military reports in succession, saying that Taiping Mansion was small and had little grain, and he couldn't let go of so many people. Therefore, Cheng Mingjiu stopped at Dashengguan, and it was not until later that he sent troops to Jiujiang, so most of the main forces rushed to Jiangxi.

In addition to some of the original officers and men of the Three Guards Army, there are also more than 5,000 auxiliary soldiers recruited by more than 1,000 people in Shandong, who were officially converted into regular Three Guards before this military parade. The remaining 20,000 or 30,000 were all local recruits in Yingtianfu, Zhenjiangfu, Suzhou, Songjiang and other places.

"Zhenyu Hou, Wei Guogong wept blood for help, hurry up and send troops!"

Gao Hongtu's voice was already crying!
