Chapter 85: Untitled
"Swing to build a rain flower platform, Mrs. Zuo and the right wine glass. Laughing at the beautiful land of Jinling, it is only sad to bring lychees. Zhu Yongxing flashed a few lines of poetry in his mind, couldn't help but sigh softly, waved the spear in his hand violently, and roared "kill", the tip of the spear hit the wooden target heavily, a few inches away from the red heart, but the strength was great, pushing the wooden target down.
"Okay, His Highness is making rapid progress, and he will be brave enough to run through the three armies one day, and no one will be able to defeat him." Zhang Guo shouted loudly, and the sycophants snapped.
Zhu Yongxing smiled, pulled out his spear vigorously, and said, "I have only practiced for a few days, and no one is invincible, General Zhang has a good reputation." ”
"Your Highness will practice for a few days, and the ordinary people will practice for ten days, and practice for a hundred days." Zhang Guoyong didn't care, and continued to compliment: "Look at this shot, the force is great, even if it has been in battle for a long time, it is difficult to resist." ”
Zhu Yongxing doesn't want to train into a brave and invincible general, but this martial art is also a way of self-preservation, who knows if Lu Dao will encounter a situation that forces him to fight hard in the future! When he was elected as a teacher, he also kept an eye on it and recruited Zhang Guoyong to his side. Like Zhang Wencui, Chen Sheng, and Chen Yiyao, who were the first to serve, his performance in this period of time made him more relieved. And Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng, who he doesn't trust very much, stay by his side, and multiple opportunities for observation are also a method of surveillance.
"Ugh." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and sighed: "I just remembered something, I was depressed in my chest, and I vented my anger in this shot." If you fight in battle, I am afraid that your hands and feet will tremble, and you will not even be able to hold a gun. ”
Zhang Guoyong hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what His Highness remembered, but don't worry about Tengchong?" ”
Zhu Yongxing shook his head, walked to the table and chair next to him and sat down, took the towel handed over by Mengzhu with a smile and wiped his sweat, motioned for Zhang Guoyong to sit down, and then said slowly: "Tengchong is not too worried over there, it is so carefully arranged, and there are battlefield veterans such as His Royal Highness Zhao and Huai Renhou commanding, even if it is not a big victory, the whole division can retreat." I think of Nanjing, and it is a pity that the king of Yanping County missed the opportunity. ”
Calculating the time, it should be the time for Zheng Chenggong to launch the Battle of Nanjing, and the few lines of poetry that pass through Zhu Yongxing's mind are a certain poet's ingenious satire on Zheng Chenggong's order to bring his soldiers and their families with the army. Since ancient times, most generals are not allowed to bring their families with them when they go out to war, which of course has the intention of taking their wives hostage and preventing the generals from rebelling, but it obviously has a positive effect on the soldiers who have no worries when fighting on the front line. However, Zheng Chenggong's violation of this military principle was obviously a certainty of victory in conquering Nanjing and taking Jiangnan, but underestimating the enemy was an important factor in the failure of the Battle of Nanjing.
"The king of Yanping is going to attack Nanjing?" Zhang Guoyong was taken aback and asked puzzledly, "Where did Your Highness come from?" ”
Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and did not answer the question. After Guangxi was occupied by the Qing army, Yunnan lost contact with Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan at sea, not to mention the news from Nanjing. Zhang Guoyong was stunned, and it was reasonable.
Zhang Guoyong opened his mouth and didn't continue to ask, but felt that Zhu Yongxing was very unfathomable, so he changed the question, "Your Highness, will the king of Yanping attack on Nanjing fail?" Jiangnan is the main source of wealth for the Qing court, and it is also the hinterland of the country, if it succeeds, the Qing court will be extremely shocked, if the troops are transferred from the southwest, the situation in Yunnan Province will also be favorable to our army. ”
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "If there is a communication channel, and the various anti-Qing forces can communicate with each other and support each other, then it is naturally good." But after all, this is a matter for the future, and now it is up to you to make a situation on your own. The Qing army in Yunnan Province wants to use troops on a large scale, so we have to wait until after the rainy season, and these few months are our opportunities. ”
Zhang Guoyong saw that Zhu Yongxing didn't mention Zheng Chenggong's matter, so he followed the conversation, "The rainy season usually doesn't end until September, and we still have three or four months." Your Highness is wise and wise, and will be able to lead everyone through the crisis and create a new situation. ”
"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." Zhu Yongxing said in a low voice: "The more dangerous the time, the more it can show everyone's character and thoughts. General Zhang, you and General Zhao persuaded King Zhao to come to Tengchong to meet me, and I remember this credit. ”
Zhang Guo was secretly happy in his heart, and said humbly: "Your Highness is the clan appointed by the imperial court to stay behind, and it is natural for the last general to come to protect him, where can I talk about any credit." ”
"A credit of course." Zhu Yongxing pursed his lips and smiled, his face became gloomy again, and said: "Thinking about that Yang Wu, it is already a capital crime to plunder His Majesty and the ministers. Now I know that I am in Tengchong, and I do not lead troops to atone for my sins, but I only send people to ask for the sealed edict, and my heart can be punished. Thinking of getting the Duke of the Kingdom to surrender the Qing army again, it is really a good dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. After this battle, we must go and exterminate it, and do not let the traitors escape. ”
The gloomy and murderous tone made Zhang Guo feel a pang in his heart, and he couldn't help but re-examine Zhu Yongxing. If it is said that at this time of crisis, it is time to recruit the remnants of the army by means of Huairou, but Zhu Yongxing obviously has no illusions about Yang Wu and wants to kill him toughly, which is in stark contrast to the weakness of Emperor Yongli.
"Let's practice here today!" Zhu Yongxing softened his face and said to Zhang Guoyong: "Hard work General Zhang, inspect the camp and see if there are any omissions." ”
"Where is the responsibility of the last general, where can we talk about hard work. Your Highness, the last general will retire. Zhang Guoyong got up and saluted, and left.
The guards are all strong among the Yongchang refugees who fled with Yang Guoxiang, and they have taken on the appearance after practicing these days, even if Zhang Guoyong has the heart to surrender, he can't win over these people. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing kept Zhang Guoyong by his side, which seemed to be a favor, but in fact, he was firmly watched.
"Your Highness." Mengzhu saw that Zhang Guoyong was gone, so he showed a hearty smile and said: "Your face became really fast just now, warm as the sun for a while, and terrifying for a while. ”
"Scaring you?" Zhu Yongxing put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Come and let me listen, is your heart beating fast?" ”
Mengzhu grinned, but walked straight behind Zhu Yongxing, pinched Zhu Yongxing's shoulder, and said softly: "Your Highness, you have practiced martial arts hard, do you really want to go into battle to kill?" ”
Zhu Yongxing closed his eyes comfortably, smiled and teased: "Even if you can't go into battle to kill, it's good to be able to protect yourself at a critical time!" Haven't you also practiced, if I can't beat you, how can I cheer up my husband, isn't it a joke? ”
Mengzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I won't fight back, Your Highness will be merciful when he arrives." ”
Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to grab Mengzhu's pair of soft wattles, rubbed them lightly on his face for a while, and took a bite of it, but what he heard was a thunderbolt in the sky, which scared him a lot.
This rain is going to fall again......
