Chapter 887: Under the City of Ningbo

In the Ningbo Mansion, there was a death-like silence.

Who doesn't know what to say?

After a long time, Zhang Jing spoke first and said: "Elder Yang Ge, you should leave quickly and go to Hangzhou to preside over the overall situation." Here I am. ”

Zhang Jing already has a will to die.

The collapse of tens of thousands of troops on the south bank doomed the end of Ningbo City, maybe Hangzhou still has room for redemption, but Ningbo is destined to become an outcast.

Yang Yiqing also recovered from such a blow, and he said: "Banzhou, Ningbo doesn't need to be defended anymore, Mao Rui has already sent an envoy over, saying that he has gone back to Hangzhou." I will go back to Hangzhou, and we will pick ourselves up again. ”、

Zhang Jing said: "How much money is still in the treasury of Hangzhou, and how many people can there be in Hangzhou?" ”

In Yang Yiqing's eyes, a trace of blood flashed, and he said: "You don't have to worry about this, even if you scrape the ground three feet, you will pull up another army." ”

To put it mildly, Zhu Houhuang used the south to organize an army of one million at the beginning, and even now, with the background of Zhejiang, there is no problem in pulling up hundreds of thousands of troops.

As long as Yang Yiqing can make up his mind.

The social resources of Jiangnan are all in the hands of those big families, and these big families will have people who will come out, originally Yang Yiqing wanted to give his colleagues a little face.

It's just the way it looks now, and I can't take care of this face anymore.

"But it takes time." Zhang Jing said.

Zhang Jing's words made Yang Yiqing speechless for a moment.

Yes, time is a key issue.

If you don't want to intercept the Yongjun army and let him attack, it can be said that from Ningbo to Nanzhili, it is almost a smooth road, and there is a canal to communicate.

The transportation is convenient, and there is no danger to keep. There is simply no way to procrastinate.

And this area is the essence of the entire Ming Dynasty. The change of ownership in this area will affect the general trend of the world.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the economic center has been in the south. Zhejiang is also an important economic town, and half of the taxes paid by the world are collected from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

From the perspective of the territory of the world, the loss of Fujian is insignificant, and even the loss of Wentai cannot affect the strategic form of the imperial court and King Yong.

But the loss of the whole of Zhejiang is very different.

It can directly affect the changes in the pattern of the world.

And if Yang Yiqing wants to save the situation, he must delay time so that Yang Yiqing has time to clean up the mess. And this time is only Zhang Jing can fight for him.

Extraordinary people should be extraordinary things.

Zhang Jing also saw the hesitation in Yang Yiqing's heart, and said: "Lord Yang, please go back quickly, regroup, and buy time for you in Ningbo." ”

Now is indeed not the time to be emotional, no matter how much Yang Yiqing admires Zhang Jing, and whether Zhang Jing is useless or not, if you go to Hangzhou from here, you can bypass Ningbo, and it is not necessary to conquer it.

However, if there is any hope in case, all the efforts must be put in, and then I don't know how many lives. Things have come to this point, Zhang Jing feels that he can only repay the country with death.

Yang Yiqing said: "Take care." ”

The times are urgent, Yang Yiqing doesn't dare to be unhappy, I'm afraid that he will go slowly, and no one will be able to go.

His judgment was very correct, Yang Yiqing had just left by boat through the Yao River on the front foot, and there were Yongjun ships on the back foot, blocking the course of the Yao River and isolating the city of Ningbo.

Then it was the army that crossed the river. Surrounded Ningbo to death.

Whether it is a waterway or a land route, it is impassable.

"Master Zhang, the current situation, Ningbo is going to be a big trend, not just a big event in Ningbo. Even the imperial court is afraid that it will change hands, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the first battle of Yaojiang, Zhejiang's troops are empty, so Zhejiang is not guaranteed, Zhejiang is not guaranteed, can Nanzhili be preserved? I'm afraid that King Yong's army will go straight to the city of Nanjing. ”

"Nanjing, King Yong can at least separate from the north and south of Beijing."

"And King Yong is favored by the first emperor, he is a hero in the world, how can the puppet emperor be compared, the north and the south stand side by side, who will win and who will lose in the future, isn't it clear at a glance?"

"Lord Zhang, both parents are in Fujian, although King Yong is lenient and not guilty in the past, but father and son are separated, how can the old man be safe? Why don't Lord Zhang take refuge in King Yong, protect the way of family and follow the general trend of the world, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Please also think about it. ”

A scholar talked eloquently in front of Zhang Jing.

As he said, the influence of Yao Jiang's first war was huge.

Zhu Houhuang defeated the main force of the Zhejiang army in a battle, Fu Qiangbo fled with the elite cavalry around him, Zhu Houhuang couldn't catch up for a while, and the rest of the men and horses were either captured, killed, or driven down the Yao River.

In short, the main force of the Zhejiang army was empty, and nearly 30,000 prisoners were captured.

Wang Zhi's subordinates were all foot soldiers, and it was really difficult for them to pursue the cavalry, so Zhu Houhuang also ordered Wang Zhi to be the vanguard, cross the river first, and surround Ningbo.

The impact is not just at the strategic level.

There is one thing about Zhu Houhuang, that is, there are scholars who dare to vote for King Yong, and there are quite a few of them, they seem to have chosen Zhu Houhuang and want to be Zhu Houhuang's important minister.

And now Zhu Houhuang's most important work is this. Also busy is He Wenyuan.

The affairs of the army, now that the war has just passed, are just some trivial matters, except for the right of reward and punishment, Zhu Houhuang has left everything else to others to do.

He deliberately increased the power of Li Liangqin, Liu Bochen, Li Ziyun and others, and assigned a part of the Yongjun army to them, so that they could oppose Wang Zhi.

Of course, this is just a matter of prevention.

After all, Yongjun is not a warlord, and as soon as Zhu Houhuang came into contact with the battalion officers of each battalion, these battalion officers directly expressed their allegiance to Zhu Houhuang. Sending Wang Zhi as a pioneer is both a punishment and a reward.

The punishment was that Wang Zhi's failure almost made him die. Therefore, Wang Zhi became a pioneer from the general who commanded the army, and divided the reinforcements he brought to several other rising stars.

However, if the attack on Ningbo is done well, it can also be regarded as a punishment.

Of course, the soldiers and horses did not move, the envoy went first, and this messenger was the local scholar who defected to Zhu Houhuang and was sent by Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang also had some headaches.

After all, Zhu Houhuang wants to conquer the world, and he must also pay tribute to these local forces. After all, it affects the whole body, and now the whole world is looking at Zhu Houhuang's attitude and deciding what to do next.

And Zhu Houhuang didn't mean to use these scholars more in his heart.

None of them are scholars, that is, they are right. Zhu Houhuang has long been accustomed to coming to Dongyong's hard-working bureaucracy, and he doesn't like these scholars who focus on retreat, and he is full of big truths, giving him a township, and he doesn't even know how to build a canal.

But people must use it.

Zhu Houhuang didn't mean to ask for trouble, so Zhu Houhuang handed over some people to He Wenyuan to deal with.

He Wenyuan may have these and those problems, but he is extremely quick to deal with official documents, which can be regarded as a great help.

Anyway, even if there are a large number of officials who have joined the army, there will also be a large talent gap.

But there are also some scholars who are conceited and have talents from heaven and earth, and they don't want to be local officials, but want to be Zhu Houhuang's mastermind.

Zhu Houhuang didn't want to replace the task of the General Staff with one person, so Zhu Houhuang didn't want to introduce these people into the army at all, not to mention whether there was an enemy's eyeliner among them, just because of their style of pointing fingers, Zhu Houhuang would not be favored by Zhu Houhuang.

However, Zhu Houhuang could not help but arrange tasks. As soon as Zhu Houhuang patted his head, he made a large number of envoys come out, and the four prefectures in southwest Zhejiang, as well as other prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, and even Nanzhili and Jiangxi, all sent people to send letters to recruit surrender.

And the one in front of him was sent to persuade Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing sneered and said, "Are you finished?" ”

With a "snap", Zhang Jing slammed the seat of the library with a heavy slap. said: "What a shameless villain, I remember seeing you, in Ningbo Fuxue, right?" ”

Zhang Jing didn't listen to the explanation at all, and said: "As a Ming gift, you eat the imperial court, which can be said to be the emperor's grace. But instead of wanting to repay the king, you went to the thief, and brought shame on your ancestors and fathers. Are you convicted? ”

The smile on the scholar's face suddenly condensed. It seems to be frozen on the face. He never expected Zhang Jing to say this. ()
