Huang Degong knew that such an army could no longer fight, so he immediately arranged for the camp to defend to the death, and sent an urgent letter to Nanjing, asking for reinforcements.

As soon as this letter for help arrived in Nanjing, it caused a great uproar in the entire Jinling City. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the re-dyeing war, there was a Ming army in an emergency. That army of thieves is as strong as this! It's terrifying!

So the two giants who remained in Nanjing City convened the chief officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing to discuss urgently, but as soon as the discussion began, there was a fierce quarrel between the two giants.

The Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department believes: Since the thief army is so powerful, let's focus on defense! Let Huang Degong find a way to withdraw the troops and defend the city of Nanjing.

He also believed that if more reinforcements were sent, the city of Nanjing would definitely be empty. Besides, who can guarantee that after the reinforcements are sent, the official army will definitely be able to stop Liu Guoneng's department? In case of defeat, that is, there is a loss of an official army, and a support army is lost, and the city of Nanjing is also empty, in case Jinling is defeated by the thief army, Taizu's tomb is not guaranteed, who will bear this responsibility? Don't steal chickens and rice!

And Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, believes that if Huang Degong's department is withdrawn, it will completely free Liu Guoneng's thief army.

At that time, Liu Guoneng's troops could cross the river, attack Lu Jiude's flank, and completely defeat the most important mobile force in the Jiangnan region; It can also pass Chuzhou into Yangzhou and cut off this node on the Grand Canal. You must know that the autumn grain will soon be transported north, so will the millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing and the hundreds of thousands of border troops in the nine sides drink the northwest wind?

The most terrible choice is to go straight to Nanjing, whether it is the offensive and defensive battle of Nanjing, or the thief army bypassing Nanjing and entering the Jiangnan region, it is to make the Ming Dynasty's wealth a mess. Who can clean up this mess? Is it possible to let the imperial court ignore its head, what money will it use in the future to calm the Central Plains thief army and refuse to be barbarians outside the border?

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji didn't say a word. In the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was like the city of Beijing, because of its huge population and developed commercial activities, the city of Nanjing was no longer limited to the scope of the city wall, there were huge residents and a large number of dwellings outside the city, and there was also a large number of industries of Xu Hongji.

In the final analysis, this is a conflict of interests between the officials and the local nobles.

Since no one can convince anyone, let's compare the size! The Big Three in Nanjing. The eunuch represents the imperial power, of course, it is the largest, but Lu Jiude is not here now, so he has to be abstained.

Don't look at Wei Guogong Xu Hongji is a top noble, but he represents a military attaché. According to the tradition of the noble and the lowly, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department prevailed. In addition, the chief officials of the six ministries are all civil officials. Xu Hongji also suffered a loss, so the result of the discussion was one-sided.

But Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, will definitely not be willing to fail, but the officialdom can't fight, so what should I do? So Xu Hongji immediately mobilized the masses and created public opinion, and wanted to use the vast sea of the people to completely drown these civil officials who wanted to invite fame!

So under Xu Hongji's deliberate publicity, the news immediately spread throughout the entire Jinling City. The entire Jinling City immediately boiled.

"Brother Chaozong, is Jinling in danger?" In the eyebrow tower, a scholar asked Hou Fangyudao. Although the war is coming, the entertainment activities of the scholars cannot be stopped. It's really a little bit of a demeanor that can't get out of the line of fire!

"A ten-zhang high wall can't stop the thief army?" When it comes to military issues, Hou Fangyu, a "military expert" among the Jinling scholars, is full of energy, "The city wall of Guide is four or five zhang high, and there is no heavy garrison, the thief army invaded twice, and the grandfather and the family were strict to ensure that they were not lost, and they were galloped by Wu Changjing to block, and surrounded and annihilated the thief army twice, so that the thief chief was frightened when he heard that he was returning to Germany, and Wangbao River was fighting. ”

As he spoke, Hou Fangyu talked about the great achievements of his Hou family. The scholars on the side knew that if they didn't stop in time, Hou Fangyu could talk about this topic for a long time, and they could completely follow the style of Baguwen to write three or five articles, so they hurriedly interjected: "Brother Chaozong, do you think you should send reinforcements?" ”

In fact, the hearts of those local scholars were also very contradictory, that is, like Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, they were afraid that the peasant army would come to the city and their own property would be lost; He also thought that the more officers and soldiers in Nanjing, the better, could ensure their own safety.

"Of course you have to send it!" Hou Fangyu's answer was to land, "Every time there is a big war, the generals want soldiers and food, and this is the plan." That Mr. Huang has been rejecting the thief army for more than two months, and he can still be at ease, why is the big war together, and the wild goose is in a hurry? It's not a war, it's just nature. It's ridiculous that the soldiers don't know the soldiers, and they are bullied by the martial arts. It's really ......" Hou Fangyu shook his head, looking unfinished.

Of course, those scholars understood and commented on the gains and losses of the military department in public, and for the scholars who wanted to go to the Ming officialdom, they would not do such an unwise thing. Hou Fangyu's half of the sentence had already been said quite thoroughly.

However, the soldiers were also relieved, and it seemed that the situation at the front was not so bad, so one person asked: "If the war is unharmed, why send troops?" ”

Hou Fangyu despised the person who asked the question from the bottom of his heart. Isn't that simple enough? In case the war is lost because of not sending reinforcements, won't the officials in Nanjing have to be frustrated? How can this kind of nerd who reads books compare to the Hou family's official family and family history?

Of course, Hou Fangyu didn't know, and the reasons he analyzed were all wrong. Nanjing's top officials did have the right information. Otherwise, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, who has been swimming in the Eun Sea for many years, would not have thought of the thoughts of Hou Fangyu, a child of an official eunuch who has not lost his hair?

However, this did not prevent Hou Fangyu from talking eloquently.

Hou Fangyu maintained an unfathomable demeanor, and then said, "Only be cautious! What if Mr. Huang suffers a small setback? Besides, you don't realize that there is a good opportunity to thwart the thief army? ”

Seeing that those scholars pricked up their ears, Hou Fangyu proudly closed his mouth and sold Guanzi. Li Xiangjun on the side listened to it wonderfully, she immediately couldn't bear it, and urged crisply: "Son, hurry up!" The slave's heart is itchy! ”

Li Xiangjun's words immediately drew a burst of good-natured laughter. The beauty still has to give face, so Hou Fangyu continued: "As long as the official army blocks the thief army and makes it in a dilemma, you can let Runing Wu Changjing pour his whole division, and after defeating the thief army, wait for the two armies to converge, and then destroy the thief army." Lu Gonggong is in charge of the Jingying Tiger Ben, Wu and the second division of the left are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, the three armies work together, and the thief army can be stopped? ”

Hou Fangyu who said these words is high-spirited, then Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu are both excavated by Hou Fangyu's Lao Tzu, so the current Hou Fangyu is also honored! (To be continued......)
