Autumn has gone to winter, six or seven months have passed in the blink of an eye, and this year's winter is particularly cold, and when winter comes, the offensive in various places will gradually slow down.

Someone in Jinling City arrived at Chaoyang Gate with a tired face, followed by dozens of fierce warriors, all of whom were wearing battle jackets, with old cowhide scabbards around their waists, and their boots had fallen off their feet.

Now the garrison of Jinling is much stricter, and the guards here have to step up their investigation, and some people want to step forward, but a samurai comes out and says: "The British Gong Zhang Fu Zhang Deputy General is driving, do you want to collide with the grandfather?" ”

The guard was immediately silent, and hurriedly stepped aside, letting Zhang Furen wait.

Zhang Fu's face was already a lot older, and a bullet mark under his jaw was particularly noticeable, he rushed back from Jiangxi full of exhaustion, only because the war gradually slowed down, so he took the opportunity to take leave and go home to recuperate for some days.

When he returned to Jinling, Zhang Fu found that it was still the same place, unchanged, as if time was frozen forever, which couldn't help but make Zhang Fu think of many rumors, rumors in the territory of the Lang Son Army, almost everywhere is earth-shaking changes, leaving home for three months without knowing the way back, this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it is by no means groundless.

It is said that Guangzhou has become the second largest commercial port after Haiphong, where merchant ships from all countries in the world docked, and the people of Lang Son also built railways there, using 100,000 people.

I also heard that Lang Son was constantly replenished with new soldiers, and that hundreds of thousands of military horses were tirelessly training, and that the new guns and artillery were sharpened. It has gradually begun to be installed.

In Jinling, what Zhang Fu saw. All of them are like the horror of the enemy, but it is said that in Guangzhou. There it was singing and dancing, as if the war was far from them.

After nearly two years of war, Zhang Fu, the general, was really tired, and he did make a lot of contributions in these countless days and nights, but the more because of the long-term fierce battle, he really realized that this war was coming to an end sooner or later, and the hope of victory for the imperial court was very small.

He saw the horrors of the Lang Son army. Even if they are tug-of-war with each other, the combat power of the other side is enough to teach people to be terrifying, and the method of organized attack and retreat has been implemented to almost everyone, the kind of method that can break through in an organized way even if a battalion of men and horses is besieged by a hundred thousand troops, and the kind of means that even if the ammunition and food are exhausted, they can still maintain discipline at the last moment of the battle. It was far beyond the reach of the Ming army.

The Lang Son army was organized, seemed to be scripted, and even some things made people feel pedantic and ridiculous, but they really became their opponents. Zhang Fu knew that the sharpness of this method was every time they attacked. Even if there are no enemies on the flanks, there will be special men to defend the flanks. Even if they win a big victory, they will never chase them in a chaotic manner. Even if they retreated, they had a special rear battalion to block them to ensure that the main force left safe and sound. When they charge, they do so in a queue, and although they are not fast, once they rush up, they are often able to take one as ten.

After each of their soldiers was wounded, they were dragged down the line of fire by special medical personnel and sent to the rear for treatment. Their food was so good that they had to be wiped with lard every day, and they were not in a hurry to put all their bets up, but were always happy to take turns in their armies, and every three months or six months there were always new arrivals to replenish them, and some of the weary soldiers were withdrawn to the rear to rest.

The other party's commander, He Jian, is obviously not well versed in the art of war, there is never the so-called transfer of the tiger from the mountain, there is no golden cicada out of the shell, and there will be no ambush on all sides, but his tactics are very cautious, step by step, once necessary, as long as the order is given to the drawings, and then the battle will begin, and more than 200,000 Langshan troops on the front line will be dispatched one after another, either to attack, or to cover, or to intercept, even if the two battalions are hundreds of miles apart, but they seem to be able to cooperate with each other tacitly.

And this point, but the Ming army will never be able to do, and because of this, Zhang Fu admired Qiu Fu to the ground, although Qiu Fu is anxious, although uneasy, although he has run out of oil and lamps, he was tortured to death, but he has this seemingly terrifying hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in his hands, but in fact, the strength is very different from the Langshan army, but it can always stand firm, now Ganzhou has fallen, Ji'an Mansion is also close to not being protected, but fortunately, the Ming army at least survived, survived for a year.

As for next year......

Zhang Fu could only smile bitterly.

It is said that Lang Son manpower will ensure the breakthrough of the railway, and once the Lang Son army strengthens the supply, then what will happen next, Zhang Fu is already difficult to imagine.

He returned to Beijing at this time, with only one purpose, to ask for money and food, and to ask the imperial court to send some new troops for reinforcements, the counterattack of the Ming army has become more and more weak, and Qiu Fu urgently needs to get some offensive forces.

So after Zhang Fu returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to enter the palace to meet him.

When he saw Zhu Gaosui, he was immediately taken aback, because His Majesty's face was really terrifying, this green and yellow face, the appearance of premature decay, made Zhang Fu's heart sink to the bottom, Zhang Fu with a little sadness, bowed to the ground and said: "Weichen Zhang Fu, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Gaosui was unconsciously stunned for a few seconds, and then he reacted, he looked at Zhang Fu and said: "Oh, Zhang Aiqing, don't be polite, you have made a lot of contributions in Jiangxi, I know about you, this time you came back, I am very happy, very happy, how about it, Jiangxi is okay, what I lack is you humeral ministers, the imperial court needs pillars like you too much." ”

I don't know why, as soon as he saw Zhang Fu, Zhu Gaosui let out a lot of sighs.

Zhang Fu didn't feel relieved, but just felt a bit of a sense of despair, the more this is the case, the more people feel that this is a little helpless.

Zhang Fu hurriedly told the war in Jiangxi 1510, in order to ask for money, food and soldiers, he also told the truth, and told all the difficulties in Jiangxi.

When Zhu Gaosui heard the difficulty, he frowned, looked very angry, and couldn't help but say: "Is there no more loyal and righteous people?" How can hundreds of thousands of people not be able to resist the bandits? As he spoke, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes full of black bags looked at Zhang Fu, and said meaningfully: "If you want to defeat the thief army, you can be loyal and brave, no matter how much grain you have, the richer the reward, this is what only the unrighteous army do......"
