Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
In the winter of the fifteenth year of Yongkang, the capital was very unpeaceful.
The crown prince was ordered to think about it behind closed doors, all the generals of Zuo Jinwu were replaced, and all the generals above the seventh rank on the front line were demoted to one rank.
Under the edict of the Holy Decree, the Jingnan Army of Jiangnan Dongdao was ordered to transfer 100,000 troops to the north to fight against the rebels.
Before the Jingnan army in the south of the Yangtze River received the holy order, the west was already in flames.
The Yan army was like a bamboo, and it connected seven cities within a month.
At the beginning of the month, the Yan army forced to Dingzhou Xinle City.
On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, good news finally came from Dingzhou.
After Zhao Bingyi and Xie Xuanhui met in Dingzhou, with Xie Xuanhui as the main general, they fought for three days and three nights under Xinle City, and finally won a tragic battle.
After the Battle of Xinle, the Yan army withdrew from Dingzhou, and I heard that Yan Huai had left the front line, and the fifteen-year war in Yongkang was over.
Lin Shisheng is now also the leader of Zuo Jinwu, and he is busier every day than before.
When I got home, it was already late at night, and in the study, the lights were flickering.
He sighed and pushed the door in.
"Why are you seeing it so late?" He said helplessly.
Lin Jiaruo looked up from the pile of case files on the desk, his eyes burning, and he didn't see exhaustion.
"Dad, I read all the information on the Battle of Daizhou, at that time, Zhao Bingyi and Xie Xuanhui planned to attack the Rong people from the east and west, and the Jingnan Army was also divided into two, the Shaoxing and Jiangning armies were the vanguards of the Guanzhong Army, and the Hangzhou Army was the vanguard of the Shenwu Battalionββ"
"Yan Huai raided Zhao Bingyi's rear camp from the west, and Zhao Bingyi was forced to turn around and fight; But Xie Xuanhui didn't know it yet, so he still made the striker rush into battle-"
"In other words, it is the Guanzhong Army in the east that is really fighting against the Rong people, and Zhao Bingyi's Western Army may not have time to issue the military order to charge due to Yan Huai's surprise attack!"
She suddenly picked up a piece of paper, ran out, and while unfolding it to show him, she said excitedly: "Dad, look, this is the route they will retreat after the defeat!" β
"Xie Xuanhui led the Guanzhong army to retreat from Ulzhou in the north, and Zhao Bingyi retreated from Yizhou in the south, and the two armies did not divide until Layue, and the military situation of the day was written by Xie Xuanhui, and he didn't know the details of the Hangzhou army at all!"
She raised her head, her little face lit up, and she even smiled: "Daddy, big brother must still be alive!" β
Lin Shisheng looked at the retreat route map she had earnestly offered.
That withdrawal was a disgrace to the soldiers of Daliang, and there could be no such picture in the military intelligence.
This picture was drawn by Lin Jiaruo himself, and it is naturally distorted to the point that it has no reference value.
But what is rare is that she drew the directions of the names of various places correctly, and the retreat route she studied was basically correct, but-
Lin Shisheng sighed lightly and held the roadmap in his hand.
The smile on Lin Jiaruo's face instantly retracted, he looked at him with heavy eyes, and asked coldly, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" β
Lin Shisheng handed her the scroll that he held all the way in his hand.
Lin Jiaruo glanced at him vigilantly, reached out to pick it up several times, but shrank back again.
In the end, she pursed her lips and took it.
As the scroll unfolded, the blood on her face faded.
"You're right, there are indeed people in the Jingnan Army who have survived, the survivors have all returned, and the dead soldiers have also been named-" Lin Shisheng looked at the scroll in Lin Jiaruo's hand and sighed, "These are all Jingnan Army soldiers who have been confirmed dead......"
Black and white, clear and eye-catching.
Lin Jiaruo has always felt that the name of the eldest brother is very good, it is clear and euphemistic in his mouth, and it is elegant when written on paper.
Lin Zhizhi.
This is her favorite name.
At this moment, I can't say it, I can't bear to enter it.
Tears blurred the name on the scroll, and even the last grace and elegance were gone.
Lin Jiaruo suddenly tore the scroll into two and threw it out with all his might.
"Liar! Deceitful! It's all a lie! She shouted hysterically and rushed out, stomping the scroll she had thrown to the ground.
"They are all nonsense, they scribble without checking it out, it's all scribbled!"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! β
Lin Shisheng hugged her in his arms distressedly.
Lin Jiaruo grabbed the placket of his clothes and raised his head, his eyes were amazingly bright.
"They all said that many survivors were found later, and the eldest brother must have not come back yet, and they were too lazy to look for it again, so they wrote his name on it!"
"The battlefield is in Daizhou, Daizhou is now Yan Huai's territory, the eldest brother may have been injured or captured by Yan Huai! There's no proof that he's dead, right? β
"Live to see people! Death to see the corpse! Right? Lin Jiaruo looked at him eagerly and expectantly.
Lin Shichang sighed and said, "There are names on it, and they are all confirmed to be dead-Ah Ruo, I know that you are sad and painful, but ...... We need to learn to accept the reality ......"
The light in Lin Jiaruo's eyes went out little by little.
She bit her lip and looked at him hatefully for a long time before a word came out of her lips: "No! β
"I don't accept it!"
"Live to see people! Death to see the corpse! β
"I don't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes! I don't accept it! β
There may be many family members of the dead soldiers who have the same idea as Lin Jiaruo, but the one who proposed to welcome back the bodies of the dead soldiers was a person who no one expected.
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the four sides came to the dynasty, the eldest princess of the State of Xu suddenly appeared, and in front of the civil and military officials and the four sides, she asked to welcome back the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Jingnan Army.
It's as if it's an appointment.
The Jingnan Army, the eastern province of Jiangnan, which has not been ordered to go north, also sent an envoy to Beijing, and after the eldest princess of Xu Guo made a request, she immediately knelt down and agreed.
Emperor Yongkang was so angry that he called the imperial doctor, and finally took the pill sent by the dustless mage to come to his senses.
"The resentful soul is in the wilderness, and if the peace of heaven is lost, I am afraid that it will not be good for Dancheng!"
After the dustless mage Ling Daotong brought such a sentence, Emperor Yongkang finally changed his mind.
Under the holy decree, he ordered a special person to go to Dingzhou to welcome the remains of the dead soldiers of the Southern Army into Beijing.
Dingzhou is not far from the capital.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the people sent to Dingzhou returned.
At that time, Lin Jiaruo was practicing calligraphy in the room, and Lin Jiaquan rushed in with tears streaming down her face.
"Ah Ruo, Jingnan Army...... Got into townβ"
Before the words fell, Lin Jiaruo had already rushed out, the pen fell to the ground, and the ink was embarrassed.
Leaving Lin Jiaquan behind, past the stumbling Mrs. Lin, over the heavy Dou family, and over the stumbling Lin Jialan and Gan family.
The door was open, and she couldn't wait to run out, but she nailed her footsteps to the doorway.
Outside the door, Lin Shisheng had already ripped off Jin Wuwei's red robe, wearing a heavy cloth armor, and when he saw Lin Jiaruo, he was surprised and sad.
"Ah Ruo, mourn!" He said in a deep voice.
Lin Jiaruo looked at the crockpot he was holding in his hand.
"Didn't you say that the body was welcomed into Beijing?" She asked softly.
"When the body was sent back by the Yan army, General Zhao was worried that there was fraud, so he had people burn it on the spot......"
Lin Jiaruo looked at the crockpot, a trace of an ugly smile on the corner of his lips, and his voice was choked, but he was extremely firm: "You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death!" β
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it!
