Chapter 476: On the eve of the Great War
Sun Hang and Lu Xun were really not restrained anymore, walked out of the Yan Wang's mansion, and walked on the streets of Beiping, what they saw was not the kind of complaints they imagined, and the people who established the establishment were not hostile to the Yan King because of the Yan King's army, but actively helped the Yan King to defend the city.
It was not the strong soldiers who carried all kinds of equipment to defend the city, but the common people, because they couldn't follow Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north, so they could only help Zhu Di in this way.
Even the people who died in the previous siege of the city, their families never blamed Zhu Di.
After that, the two came to the Nameless Mansion, the only mansion in Peking with three lanterns hanging in front of the door, which looked very magnificent, but it looked a little deserted.
"You are young master's students?"
Gao Ren's injuries have not healed yet, but he still came out to receive Lu Xun and Sun Hang.
"You are the commander of the Dongzhi Gate?" Sun Hang looked at Gao Ren in surprise, a dignified commander, he didn't have any shelf.
"Well, don't mention any commanders, I'm just a servant by the young master's side. By the way, how is the young master doing in Nanjing now? Gao Ren led the two into the courtyard and asked people to bring tea, so he asked curiously.
"Well, it seems to be doing well, at least better than you." Lu Xun glanced at the nameless mansion in Beiping, although the place is larger than Nanjing, and there are more people than Nanjing, but he always feels that there is a little less atmosphere.
"Ahem, as long as the young master is doing well, we will be at ease." Gao Ren sighed, this nameless mansion in Beiping does not have Hu Ye's presiding, so naturally there is less active atmosphere, and there is no chatter like Saren and Tsing Yi, there are only thirty women who only know how to do things, and the only ones who can talk to him are Su Rina and Lan Tingyue. It's strange that it doesn't look dead.
"By the way, I heard that the dean's bird tea was brought from Beiping?" Sun Hang asked suddenly.
"This is naturally true, I'll take you over to see the most primitive bird tea."
Gao Ren took the two of them to the backyard as he spoke, and when he opened the courtyard door, a fragrant smell came to his face.
The two of them immediately saw a courtyard full of tea trees with bird-raw tea, which was more numerous and lush than those in Nanjing's Nameless Mansion.
There are also bird-eating spiders that sway around the tea trees, which are bigger, more ferocious, and more numerous than those in Nanjing.
After that, the two walked out of the Nameless Mansion. But they were even more puzzled in their hearts, according to what their dean did in Nanjing, they really couldn't believe that their dean would have a connection with Zhu Di, could it be that the dean was really acting? But why?
Hu Ye had no way to answer the doubts of the two, because he was also confused now, whether to save Zhu Yunwen or not? Zhu Yunwen in history is a mystery, because no one knows that he was burned to death. Or did you flee at the last moment, do you want to decide history yourself?
But when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, Hu Ye still remembered what he said in his ear. Let Hu Ye not let his children and grandchildren kill each other, but now the slaughter has begun, but only the soldiers and civilians are dead.
"Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, why did you throw this problem to me? You've made a hands-off shopkeeper. and he went to the grave and was happy. Hu Ye cursed, and then continued to fall into deep thought.
It was in the middle of the first month of the second year of Jianwen, probably because of the Spring Festival. There was too much consumption in the palace, and Nanjing's sewer system was paralyzed again, so the clean-up work fell to the general judge, that is, Hu Ye had one more job.
Originally, this matter should be in the management of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zheng Ci Sanshen Wuling said that this matter is under the control of the general judgment, and it seems that the Ministry of Industry is also very taboo about the sewer system.
When Hu Ye received this notice, he finally made up his mind to clean up Nanjing's sewer system, which was naturally indispensable to the efforts of the students of the academy, and naturally Ruan An, an old fox.
When Ruan An heard that Hu Ye was going to personally clean up the sewer system, he knew that Hu Ye was going to start acting, didn't he say that he didn't care about this matter anymore! Why is this kid still pulling himself onto the boat!
But now that you know it, it's impossible to ignore it, right?
So Ruan An took the lead and began to lead the students to replan the sewers in Nanjing, and began to slowly rectify the road.
The rectification of Nanjing's sewer system is just a small event, naturally it will not attract too many people's attention, even the Ministry of Industry is not very concerned, the emperor is naturally not an idea, he is most concerned now, when will the rebellion in Beiping be quelled.
However, there are no available people around him now, Yun Zichen has been sent to Shandong by him, and there is only a group of civil officials left around him, especially Qi Tai, who always likes to give Zhu Yunwen a lot of advice, but it has no effect.
"How is Zichen in Shandong?" Zhu Yunwen closed a military newspaper and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Yanghou is assisting Cao Guogong in Shandong, and he has gathered 300,000 old troops and is rectifying military affairs." Huang Zicheng replied.
"Pass the order down, let him do his best to straighten out, and he must take Beiping down to me in the spring and summer, and he can't delay the sowing of the people." Zhu Yunwen ordered loudly.
This order quickly spread to Yun Zichen's barracks, but when he saw this order, his face was full of embarrassment, because Zhu Yunwen said that he wanted him to send troops in spring and summer, which was indeed not easy.
First of all, these 300,000 troops gathered have no fighting spirit, and they are all discouraged, if it weren't for Li Jinglong's appearance, I'm afraid that even if they are wandering, they will not want to return to the team, let alone any morale.
If you pull over to fight Zhu Di now, I am afraid that Zhu Di will charge and all the 300,000 troops will be scattered.
Trying to restore the morale of these soldiers is definitely not something that can be done in a short time.
The most important thing is that the current coach, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, is completely a dead dog!
Because he was scared by Zhu Di a few times ago, although he is now a coach, he does not look like a coach at all, and all affairs are handed over to Yun Zichen to handle.
Only Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan followed Yun Zichen to reorganize the army together, but after all, the last rout was too fast, and there was already a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Wei Yanghou, this order ......"
Tie Xuan looked at Yun Zichen and said with some concern.
"It's the first month of the new year, and there are only two months left before the emperor stipulates, I will write to the emperor to try to have more time to prepare, otherwise this army will only send food to King Yan. During this period, we must step up training, if the emperor insists on fighting, we can only reluctantly do it, and the emperor's order cannot be violated. Yun Zichen sighed.
"What Wei Yanghou said is very true, this army has as many as 300,000 troops, which is more than the army of General Sheng and me combined, and they must be allowed to restore their combat effectiveness, otherwise it will be difficult to block Zhu Di's attack with General Sheng's army alone." Tie Xuan also knows how powerful it is, 300,000 troops without fighting spirit are not as powerful as 30,000 high-spirited troops, this is morale.
Yun Zichen and others were preparing for war in Shandong, and Zhu Di naturally would not be idle, and he also began to reorganize his army, after all, his army was also very miscellaneous. With his royal guards, that is his real core strength, because no matter what they ask them to do, they will not blink an eye.
Next is the 30,000 troops of Beiping, which were Zhou Yi's troops in the early years, but a large part of them have been bought by him.
Then it was borrowed from King Ning Duoyan Sanwei, this is an army with a combat effectiveness that is stronger than his palace guards, although there are only more than 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the last time Li Jinglong's army was defeated, relying on the Shenji Battalion and Duoyan Sanwei.
But this group of soldiers is borrowed after all, their boss is King Ning, and they don't have the blood of the Ming Dynasty in their blood, they are Mongols after all, and they must be careful about them.
In the end, Wang Tong's 30,000 horses were co-opted.
Nearly 100,000 people, if you want to exert the strongest combat effectiveness, you must be carefully arranged, and the division of labor must be detailed, after all, the impact that Duoyan Sanwei pays attention to, coupled with the mystery of the Shenji Battalion, is the most sharp to attack.
And if Shandong's army does not fight, Zhu Di is not in the mood to fight over, and he must give full play to his greatest combat effectiveness after the reorganization is completed.
Therefore, at the beginning of the second year of Jianwen, there was no more war in Beiping, but another more brutal war was brewing.
And in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Fu also had to comfort his sister-in-law, because his sister-in-law was shouting to go to Nanjing to find Hu Ye every day, saying that he was worried that Hu Ye would be gone, because Hu Ye was the most famous anti-Yan fighter, what if something happened? Can't you even see the last side?
"I said girl! Whether you can grow up a little bit, how many times have I told you, it's just a show, Yezi will be fine. Zhang Fu is very helpless, the older his sister is, the more difficult it is to control, and now even his father can't clean it up.
"I don't care! I'm going to Nanjing! β
Yingxue lay on Zhang Fu's shoulder and coquettishly.
"Now that the army is in chaos, what if I get lost?"
"I've walked once, and I won't get lost."
"No, it's not good, if you still have to insist, I'll sue sΓΉ daddy." Zhang Fu has a dark face, this girl can only be cleaned up by his father.
"Brother! You're going to let me go! Yingxue began to pinch Zhang Fu's shoulders, and the hard ones didn't work to the soft ones.
"Go? Where to go! β
At this moment, Zhang Yu came in with a black face, which frightened Yingxue and hurriedly left.
"This doll, I don't know what ecstasy soup that kid poured into her!" Zhang Yu looked at Yingxue's departing back angrily and muttered.
"Dad, isn't this the result you want, Yezi now has an unclear relationship with our Zhang family." Zhang Fu smiled.
"Okay, come with me to the study, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Yu sighed, and then walked towards the study. (To be continued......)
