Chapter 570: Swift as Lightning
Everyone agreed, after some pleasure, the song was finally sung.
The boat swims on the river, and the thousands of lights on the boat are reflected in the water.
The whispering of the Jiangnan woman occasionally floated out, numb to the bone.
When they are full of wine and food, some people throw the meat and vegetables from the kitchen into the Qinhuai River.
At this time, there will always be a few brave people, plunging into the icy water, holding a net, to fish for the kitchen waste, and when the person who has fished the food waste swims back to the shore with a blue face from the cold, his wife and children will wait on the shore, and when they see the person coming ashore, they will hurriedly find a blanket full of holes to cover him.
When he caught something, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Such a big elbow, I threw it away without a few bites, haha......"
The family gathered in a circle, watching the harvest, and their eyes were shining.
……
Today's Xiyuan has simply become a military forbidden place.
All the guards and attendants were replaced by Wei Zhongxian, so that everyone was faithful and reliable.
During these days, Zhang Jingyi came almost every day.
Then...... A huge map was directly spread out in the Qinzheng Palace.
This is still the map of Nanjing drawn during the Wanli period, and the station of each health station, every county seat, and the capital city have been marked.
At this time, many new annotations began to be added to the map.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a slightly bad face, mainly due to lack of sleep, but his eyes were still shining.
And Zhang Jingyi was on the side, her face looked a little haggard, revealing a little tired!
"You already know the general situation, right?" At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Zhang Qing's meaning is very clear, that is, to be fast, the matter of Jiangnan, or to compromise with these people, but if it is a compromise, then the Ming Dynasty will exist in name only for Jiangnan." Why...... It's a counterinsurgency with great fanfare, but once the rebellion is quelled, hundreds of people will be ruined, and these damn things ......"
"So...... If you want to save Gangnam and clean up these dog things, then you have to do it...... As fast as lightning, the elite vanguard military horses quickly arrived in Jiangnan...... With so many large troops, it seems that only sea ships can be used, and ...... Once landed, at most, we will prepare five days of dry food and gunpowder for everyone, and after five days...... If it can't be solved...... then there will be no return. ”
Zhang Jingyi's proposal was obviously very risky.
It is necessary to start quickly, and it is neat and tidy, first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of supply and logistics, the so-called army has not moved the grain and grass first, so the army set off, it takes at least half a month to a month to raise grain and grass, and to ensure the penetration of the grain road, half a month and a month is the limit.
And...... Five days of food and logistics were unprecedented.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with some disbelief: "What do you mean...... Entering the city of Nanjing, from landing to entering the city, it is necessary to break many passes, within five days...... Must be done? ”
Zhang Jingyi said with certainty: "Yes." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse held his chin, his face showing suspicion, and said, "How is this possible?" This is unheard of......... Has anyone in history been able to do it? ”
Zhang Jing said: "Nanjing is the capital set by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is also where the filial piety tomb is located, and the minister dare not say that he is the first strong city in the world, but ...... Not to mention anything else, around Nanjing, there are countless military towns, military defense facilities are scattered, not to mention such a fortified city, even if it is an ordinary capital city, no one dares to guarantee that it can be done within five days. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled bitterly: "Since you know this, then why do you want to implement this plan?" ”
"Because there's no choice." Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "On the one hand, we need to fight fast and slow to prevent these rebellious ministers from coercing the people and causing misery in Jiangnan. Second: This is also psychological warfare, these anti-thieves, by now, have known that they will definitely die if they seek rebellion, and the first chance of life is to resist the court, so ...... They, like us, are ready to break the boat. ”
Because of this, the minister thought that the most effective way to deal with such thieves was to directly strike a thunderous blow with lightning speed, so that they knew that the strength of the imperial court was beyond their imagination, as long as they could fight Nanjing, then ...... The entire Jiangnan can be passed on. ”
Zhang Jing paused, and then said: "If not, someone will inevitably want to break the net, and at that time, there will be beacons everywhere, and then Jiangnan will be in chaos." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, showing a little irritability.
He still couldn't imagine that a fortress-like capital like Nanjing could be killed within five days of landing.
After all, marching from the landing site to Nanjing City, not to mention how many military towns had to pass along the way, and how many city-breaking battles had to be experienced, five days of marching alone was barely enough.
This is unprecedented.
Don't say that it is five days, and it can be regarded as fast as a wind in three or five months in history.
Of course, he agrees with Zhang Jingyi's statement that this is the way to minimize losses.
So the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "How sure are you?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "Sixty percent." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was surprised, so he said, "So high? Why? ”
Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "Because the situation of the war is about to change, the minister is confident. ”
Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, said at this time: "Your Majesty, what Brother Zhang said is not unreasonable, if he feels very sure, then he might as well give it a try, and then he will order Brother Zhang to attack......"
Zhang Jingyi shook his head at this time and interrupted Wei Zhongxian: "It's not me who attacked...... Rather, His Majesty struck. ”
"What?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Jingyi, immediately jumped up, glared at Zhang Jingyi, and said excitedly: "Sixty percent sure, let Your Majesty attack, what if something goes wrong?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse also looked at Zhang Jingyi suspiciously.
Zhang Jingyi said: "First of all, Your Majesty is the commander of the Donglin Army, Your Majesty personally led the army, it is understandable, all dynasties, the first of military merits, is the Son of Heaven." His Majesty and his ministers didn't believe in the so-called nonsense that the emperor was a virtuous person, so they ...... The battle ...... Your Majesty. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Beyond that...... In this battle, the attack was on the city of Nanjing, what is the city of Nanjing? It is where my Daming Longxing is, not to mention the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao, there are a large number of palaces there, Your Majesty does not personally enter the army, who has this qualification? ”
Wei Zhongxian was still not at ease, so he said: "It's just too risky, is there a more secure way." ”
Zhang Jingyi said very seriously: "Just take risks, don't take risks...... How to carry the expectations of the people of the world? ”
Zhang Jingyi's ideas are obviously incompatible with the morals and ideas of this era.
What daughters can't sit down, what gentlemen don't stand under the wall, these things are all nonsense, this is just a joke, how much power you have, how much responsibility and consequences you have to bear.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Why not ......"
"Enough!" When the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that the two of them were fighting over each other, he became impatient.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was simply and neatly, and said categorically: "I am the commander, Zhang Jingyi is the deputy commander, and now I want to change the law of the ancestors, it is time to go to the filial piety tomb and worship the Emperor Taizu Gao, and I will complain!" ”
Immediately afterwards, there are the details of the various marches, how to do it quickly, and how to hide people's eyes......
A few days later, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an order for the Donglin army to go south and hoard Zhenjiang.
As soon as the news came out, the world shook.
This is clearly a direct threat to Jiangnan, and ...... The Donglin Army, which had recruited a large number of new recruits, has now expanded to 15,000 people.
On the one hand, he ordered the criminal department to investigate thoroughly, and on the other hand, he sent troops to hoard in Jiangbei, and his intention was very obvious.
Of course...... The army did not move so fast.
The Donglin army just slowly packed their bags and prepared to go.
The real intentions are still kept secret.
A team of 5,000 people was carefully selected by Zhang Jingyi and finally drawn out.
Of these 5,000 people, there are nearly 2,000 veterans.
Most of the other 3,000 students are students who have performed well after recruit training.
Immediately afterwards, countless supplies were loaded directly in Tianjin.
Just when the Donglin Army set off and began to march towards Zhenjiang by land.
These 5,000 men and horses have also boarded ships in Tianjinwei, and Zhang San has dispatched almost all the sea ships that can be dispatched to be responsible for transportation.
On a peaceful evening, the Emperor of the Apocalypse left the palace, escorted by Zhang Jingyi, and rushed to Tianjin Wei overnight.
And the palace ...... It seems to be as calm as ever.
At dawn, the Emperor of the Apocalypse boarded the ship and immediately ...... The big ship sailed.
The holding of His Majesty's intention in the capital naturally caused an uproar.
In fact, His Majesty went out on patrol, and everyone was still in the dark.
It's just that the Donglin Army's move into Zhenjiang still scared everyone.
Isn't this a clear indication that we are preparing to put down the rebellion?
But His Majesty's 'illness', hidden in the palace and not coming out, the officials can't find the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and they have nothing to do, so they can only make trouble by themselves.
And the other side...... Just when the discussion in the capital was boiling, and countless letters were sent to Jiangnan.
Ship after ship...... Matsue Prefecture has already begun to appear.
Songjiang Mansion is also the famous Shanghai in later generations.
Of course, Shanghai is only a small county today.
A small guard station was stationed here.
When countless ships arrived, the docks here could not moor such ships at all.
Thereupon...... One by one, the landing ships were lowered from the big ships.
A detachment of the vanguard reached the coast directly.
The 100 households in Songjiang who were prepared for the guards were stunned.
The local 100 households took the lead in bringing people to negotiate head-on.
Before the people could get closer, the other party had already drawn their knives, and a knife was across the necks of the hundred households.
Then I heard a voice say sharply: "Qin Cha is here, kneel down and speak!" ”
Although Baihu didn't recognize any Qincha, he did recognize the knife.
So he knelt down without hesitation: "Spite your life!" ”
。。。。
The cough is a bit severe, I was woken up several times by coughing while sleeping, and I was mentally ill during the day, and the tiger will try its best to renew and resume renewal as soon as the illness improves.
