Looking at the quick Malay report, Wang Shouren frowned and looked at the news.

100,000 troops went straight to Nanjing City, Wang Shouren's heart throbbed, Nanjing City is the political center of Jiangnan, especially the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that as long as King Ning takes Nanjing City, then most of Jiangnan will inevitably look at the wind and shadow.

A fist smashed on the table, Wang Shouren shouted in a deep voice: "King Ning must not be allowed to occupy Nanjing City, otherwise most of the land south of the Yangtze River will not be owned by the imperial court!" ”

Chen Tai, Mao Yuan and others also looked quite ugly, these officials were at least still interested in the imperial court, and they were naturally shocked when they saw the news at this time.

They are not very worried about the fall of Jiangxi, but if Nanjing City falls, then the meaning will be very different, and Jiangnan will definitely change at that time.

It can be said that the impact caused by the fall of Jiangxi Province is not as terrible as the impact caused by the fall of Nanjing.

With a wry smile, Chen Tai looked at Wang Shouren and said: "But what can we do, the imperial court reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, even if we take advantage of these few days to loot soldiers and horses, we are just barely gathering 20,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Although it is said that the imperial court reinforcements did not arrive, Fujian and Hunan provinces, which are adjacent to Jiangxi Province, have already reacted and sent troops and horses into Jiangxi to quell the rebellion.

These soldiers and horses entered the land of Jiangxi, and naturally Wang Shouren took over the military power with the secret decree of the Son of Heaven, and then after some rectification, 20,000 soldiers and horses were selected from tens of thousands of reinforcements.

20,000 soldiers and horses are not elite, at least not a rabble, especially after some screening, there are soldiers and horses in various places, which can be described as a mess, even with Wang Shouren's ability, it is delusional to want to turn it into a strong army in a while.

Fortunately, after Wang Shouren cleanly killed two guerrilla generals who did not cooperate and disobeyed military orders, the remaining generals were decisively suppressed by Wang Shouren's killing one by one.

Therefore, Wang Shouren now has about 20,000 combatable soldiers in his hands.

Mao Yuan looked at Wang Shouren and said: "Lord Wang, as the so-called distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if we want to rescue Nanjing City, I'm afraid that if we don't arrive, Nanjing City may have been breached!" ”

As for the defense capability of Nanjing City, to be honest, the people present really did not have any confidence.

Jiangnan Chengping has been peaceful for a hundred years, let alone Nanjing City, it can be said that the entire Jiangnan Guard Army has long lost a little combat effectiveness, that is, it is slightly better than ordinary people.

If you really want to say that those soldiers and horses in Nanjing City can stop the rebels of King Ning, that would be a strange thing.

Which of the people present has not been in the Jiangnan officialdom for many years, and the situation in Jiangnan is very clear, the military strength is erosive, and I am afraid that if the elite army of the northern border town enters Jiangnan, it will not need more, and 10,000 elite troops will be enough to sweep the entire Jiangnan.

Wang Shouren took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's true that we didn't have time to rush to Nanjing City, but we can go to Nanchang!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and looked at Wang Shouren in dismay.

Nanchang is King Ning's lair, to be honest, they really didn't think about attacking Nanchang, they were more thinking about how to deal with King Ning.

Now that Wang Shouren suddenly mentioned that he was going to attack Nanchang City, many people's eyes flashed with light.

I only heard Wang Shouren say: "Everyone, if we attack Nanchang City, we will definitely be able to make King Ning's position chaotic, if we can lead King Ning to return to the army to rescue Nanchang City, then the siege of Nanjing will definitely be solved!" ”

Brushing his beard, Chen Tai looked at Wang Shouren with emotion and said, "But what if King Ning doesn't return to the army?" ”

Wang Shouren said categorically: "Then break through Nanchang City and occupy King Ning's lair, then King Ning's army will inevitably be in turmoil, and the imperial court counterinsurgency army that arrives at the right time can easily break King Ning's army!" ”

I have to say that Wang Shouren's proposal can be said to be reasonable and well-founded, even the people present can't think of a better way.

After glancing at everyone, Wang Shouren said decisively: "Everyone, it's so decided, this time the official will personally lead the army to go!" ”

Chen Tai nodded slowly and said, "In this case, the old man will sit in Ji'an County and take care of the logistics for Lord Wang." ”

Wang Shouren got up and saluted Chen Tai and said, "I'll leave everything to the boss!" ”

If Nanchang is King Ning's lair, then Ji'an County is Wang Shouren's stronghold in Jiangxi, if they lose Ji'an County, then they have no place to stay in Jiangxi.

If the tens of thousands of troops were left without logistical supplies, they were afraid that they would collapse on their own without waiting for the rebels to attack. Therefore, there must be someone in such a logistical place as Ji'an County, except for Chen Tai, the governor of Jiangxi, to be honest, Wang Shouren is really not at ease with others.

Chen Tai helped Wang Shouren up, patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as the old man is here, Ji'an County will be as stable as Mount Tai!" ”

The 20,000 troops marched straight to the direction of Nanchang City, while the county seat of Ji'an was screened by nearly 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people.

Although it is said that it is old, weak, sick and disabled, it may not be good to go into battle to kill the enemy, but with the help of the city wall defense, there is no army of 30,000 or 50,000, and you really don't want to break the city.

At the same time that Wang Shouren was rushing to Nanchang City, Zheng Qizheng, the general of Long Xiang sent by King Ning, led his tens of thousands of troops to Ji'an County.

Compared with Zhou Boling, Zheng Qi is also from a Jiangmen family, so it is naturally impossible to bring his subordinates like Zhou Boling.

Therefore, Zheng Qi's march is quite a bit of a solemn scene, just looking at the three armies of his army, you can see that Zheng Qi is still quite capable.

As the head of the First Army, Zheng Qi sat in the Chinese Army and dutifully fulfilled his duties as the commander of the First Army.

At this moment, the sky was dark, and the army was encamped against a hill, and Zheng Qi, as the commander-in-chief, led his own soldiers to check it in person, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the camp, and then returned to the camp.

At this moment, before the camp, a sentry leader was waiting for Zheng Qi to return.

In the big tent, Zheng Qi looked at the sentry leader and said, "How is the news investigated, how is the county town of Ji'an prepared now, but what is the change?" ”

There is a precedent for Zhou Boling, if Zheng Qi is not a little guarded, then he can only be said to be incompetent.

Obviously, Zheng Qi was not a mediocre talent, so before the army started, hundreds of sentry spies were scattered, and people were sent to find out the news of Ji'an County.

Although Zheng Qi's march speed is not fast, it is very steady, even if Wang Shouren ambushes again, I am afraid it will not be as easy as dealing with Zhou Boling.

I only heard the sentry say: "General Hui, my subordinates went to Ji'an County to investigate, and found that many imperial soldiers and horses have arrived in Ji'an County to join the defenders of Ji'an County, and now there are at least tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses in Ji'an County!" ”

"What!"

Zheng Qi couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, and his face showed a look of horror.

He obviously didn't expect reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive, which was different from what he had expected.

You must know that he only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is not comparable to the tens of thousands of troops in Ji'an County.

Not only Zheng Qi, in addition to Zheng Qi, there are more than a dozen generals in this big tent, these people were summoned by Zheng Qi to discuss the military situation, in addition, there is another person sitting there next to Zheng Qi like Mount Tai, it is the head of the Songshan faction, Zuo Lengchan.

At this time, everyone's reaction when they heard the words was like Zheng Qi, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"How is this possible......"

"Could it be that the imperial court reinforcements have wings!"

Even Zuo Lengchan, who was as stable as a mountain, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Zheng Qi suddenly shook his head and said: "No, the Jingshi is at least a thousand miles away from Jiangxi, even if the imperial court sends reinforcements, it will take at least half a month to arrive, and it is absolutely impossible to appear in such a short time." ”

Saying that, Zheng Qi stared at the sentry, his eyes flashing with essence.

The sentry detective was slightly stunned and said: "General, my subordinates dare to guarantee with their lives, there are indeed tens of thousands of imperial troops in Ji'an County, and at this time, some of the soldiers and horses are being led by Wang Shouren, the Jiangxi envoy, and are heading straight for Nanchang City." ”

Looking at the sentry, Zheng Qi did not suspect that the sentry was lying, because this sentry was the son of his family, and he was both prosperous and lost with their Zheng family, so it could be said that he was a close confidant who controlled the army.

If he couldn't even believe this man, then he really didn't know who to trust.

Frowning, Zheng Qi suddenly said in his heart: "I understand, these soldiers and horses are definitely not imperial reinforcements from the Beijing Division, if nothing else, they must be soldiers and horses from other places." ”

Thinking about this, Zheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he was not an elite counterinsurgency army sent by the imperial court, he had nothing to fear.

For example, the reinforcements in Fujian and Anhui, to be honest, Zheng Qi is not optimistic about these reinforcements, just as Wang Shouren is not optimistic about these soldiers and horses.

It's really that the local soldiers and horses are too bad, but anyone who knows the soldiers can see that these local guards are already rotten. I really don't dare to say how much combat power I can have.

After listening to Zheng Qi's words, in the big tent, more than a dozen generals and generals also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not the elite army of the imperial court, as for the local reinforcements, they were really not worried.

Zheng Qi frowned and groaned, and after a while, he saw Zheng Qi look up at the group and said: "Everyone, everyone knows the current situation in their hearts, originally we went straight to Ji'an County according to the original plan, but now the situation has changed, and Wang Shouren actually wants to go to Nanchang City." ”

A general said: "General, Nanchang City is the rear of the prince, if there is a change in Nanchang City, then the front-line soldiers will inevitably be shaken, so we must not sit back and watch Wang Shouren attack Nanchang City!" ”

[Well, the two more will be sent, and the monthly pass will be wooden, ......]
