The news of the attack on Xuzhou was transmitted back to Nanjing as quickly as possible. From the front line in Xuzhou to Nanjing, it took only three days. In an age when communications are largely roaring, this is almost a miracle.

The battle report was sent to Zhou Yanru as soon as possible! "Lord Shoufu, as soon as the Liao army made a move, they knocked out the three watchtowers on our provincial border. Our 7th Division has lost no less than 300 men, and the division commander asks you to send reinforcements immediately. Otherwise, if Xuzhou falls. The Liao army will go straight to Yangzhou along the line of Xu Beng, and then the Liao army will be in danger of drinking the Yangtze River and Jinling. ”

"Report! The Huating garrison reported that the mouth of the Yangtze River found that the five-masted ship of the Liao army seemed to be attempting to invade the Yangtze River. The Huating garrison is unable to expel it, so please show it to Lord Shoufu. At this time, the second battle report also came.

Zhou Yanru felt that his right eyelid was constantly jumping!

Now he misses Shi Kefa very much, Zhou Yanru is a master when he plays politics, and he is completely blind when he plays military Zhou Shoufu. Now he very much needs the opinion of Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Shi Kefa is far away in Guanzhong. Ma Shiying, who knows a little bit of military affairs, is in Hangzhou at this time.

In the Yongli court in Jinling, the vast majority of them were Donglin Party members. These people are similar to Zhou Yanru, they are all good at politics, and they are also kindergarten level when they are engaged in the military. Because these scholars despise martial artists from the bottom of their hearts. said that these rough blanks that only know how to fight and kill, raise the pen as if they were carrying the ding. For the profession at the bottom of the chain of contempt, these scholars are naturally reluctant to study Qiu Ba's set.

"Lord Shousuke, send reinforcements quickly!"

Xuzhou has been conquered, and the next step is Suqian, Bengbu, and Yangzhou. In addition to some local military equipment, only the catchers in the yamen are considered "armed forces". The corruption of the Ming local guards, Zhou Yanru is clear. Although there are millions of people in the military department of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many soldiers who can really fight a war. This is also the reason why everyone from Wei Zhongxian to Zhu Youzhen connived at Li Xiao at the beginning. Because, the soldiers who really couldn't fight were sent to Liaodong to fight.

These guards are not much different from those without soldiers. It is simply impossible to expect them to die like the Liao army of tigers and wolves. As long as Xuzhou is taken, this road is basically a march. Drinking the Yangtze River is just around the corner!

At this moment, the warships of the Liao army suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

As long as these warships go against the current, Jinling will really be in danger.

"Herald! The Eighth Division of the Forbidden Army garrisoning Henan and the Ninth Division of the Forbidden Army garrisoning Nanjing rushed to the aid of Xuzhou. Immediately sent people to Guanzhong, and ordered the Shi Military Department to immediately lead the army back to Beijing without delay. Zhou Yanru, who was scared, immediately gave an order.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

In three days, all the outlying strongholds of Xuzhou were occupied by the Liao army. It can be said that Xuzhou is a lonely city today.

Liu Jie stood on the city tower every day, holding a telescope to look around. But I could only see the Liao soldiers in three or three, strolling around more than ten miles away like shopping. I was secretly glad in my heart, but I was fortunate that I reacted in time. and withdrew all the troops from outside the city into the city. Otherwise, it would definitely be eaten by the Liao army one bite at a time.

Lao Tzu's command is also a firearms army, and now it has gathered into a lump. In this Xuzhou city, there are not only Portuguese man-made Franc machine guns, but also many mortars bought from the Liao army. Even if the Liao army wants to attack Xuzhou, it will have to pay the price.

"Huzi! You said that our three battalions are on the periphery of Xuzhou, and once the Seventh Division of the Forbidden Army runs south, we will have no way at all. This piece of meat is too big for us to eat. What does your boss think! Sun Zhihao pulled out a sweet potato from the charcoal brazier and scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Look at you like a monkey. What does the boss of my family think, it has something to do with you. Didn't you say it? If they give up Xuzhou, we will occupy it. Everything that can be moved from the city is valuable! Li Hu glanced at Sun Zhihao and continued to nibble on the roasted sweet potato in his hand.

"I don't think it's that simple! You see, we're just east of Xuzhou. It is obvious that it is to monitor Xuzhou, and the meaning of the marshal is probably not to fight. It's about going to play a big game of chess around Xuzhou! Cao Bianjiao pointed to Xuzhou City, which was somewhat vague in the distance, and said.

"Just as you can! You're a roundworm in my boss's belly! ”

"I heard that the first division was transferred from Liaodong to Shandong, and your uncle is a cow. But Ao Ye is this of our Liao army! Sun Zhihao stretched out his thumb.

"And I also heard that the second division of Commander Yuan also marched from the capital to Shandong. The patriarch commander of the Fourth Division handed over the defense of Xuanfu to the local garrison and was moving closer to the Beijing Division. You say, will it be to work in Xuzhou for a while? ”

"I said rat, did you peek at your grandfather's papers. Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing! The black bull came and threw over two hares that had been killed.

"Yo! It's still the old squad leader thinking about us. "A few brothers began to peel rabbits with happy smiles, and the hares in autumn are very fat, and it is best to roast and eat.

They didn't know that the distant capital was now in chaos.

"It's all hung on the city wall, and it's all set up for Lao Tzu. Especially Sun Chuanting's two sons, they must be on the right path. Let everyone see what happens if they betray our handsome. Junko on the wall drank roughly.

The grinning heads were put in cages and hung high above the city walls. The long grass-like hair covered his face, and no one could tell who was who. I just heard that Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, betrayed the imperial court. The whole family was beheaded by the handsome man to show the public!

During the rebellion of the eunuch party in the previous dynasty, it was common to see the big people being exterminated. Events such as head displays are also held frequently, which has been rare in the past two years. The head did not frighten the well-informed people of the capital, but attracted many people to come from afar, just to take a look at the rare grand scene in the past two years.

"What's going on? Didn't I hear that this Sun Shangshu is a teacher of Long Live that this emperor can also betray the imperial court? "A man who looks like a small businessman, with his hands in his sleeves, looks at the long list of human heads on it.

"Hey......! Isn't that what this is like when you are an official? When Wei Zhongxian was making trouble before, who would dare to provoke him in the capital. But what about later? It's not an end yet! ”

"I heard that this Sun Shangshu ran away and went to the south. That's why the big handsome arrested his family and cut off his head here to vent his anger. You said it's good, what are you going to run to the south? My family has recently received a letter from a relative who is inevitably alive, and when I get there, I can't even eat enough. I have to work tirelessly all day, I want to ask how the capital is doing, and I want to come back to our forty-nine city. ”

"Humph! What is the boundary of our Sijiu City, that is where the feng shui chess game array set by Yongle Ye is. Liu Bowen has unpredictable abilities, so he built these forty-nine cities in the land of Yanshan. For more than two hundred years, have you ever seen Sijiu City suffer? Don't wait for the place where the people are outstanding, and run to the cold place in the south.

I can tell you, the southern realm doesn't look as cold as we are. But in the winter, it's not a place for people. Everything is damp, cold and cold, the cold way of squeezing bones. The old man went to Jiangnan once that year, don't mention the sin! ”

"I said, the Ministry of Industry has taken refuge in the south, is our capital ......!"

"Your family is so poor that you are afraid of wool. Who's coming, you're not two legs on a belly. ”

People were standing below chirping and whispering all sorts of things. The deaf man looked at the human head in the distance and shook his head helplessly. But inside the eyes, there was a color of joy.

Sun Chuanting had been secretly sent out of the capital by Xiaolingwei, and when he thought of that night a few days ago, the deaf man still had palpitations. If it weren't for the internal report, it would have been impossible to transfer Sun Chuanting elsewhere.

It was only half an hour away, and Sun Chuanting had just been transferred. His home was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and all the family members and slaves, men, women, and children, were all arrested and taken away by ropes.

At that time, the deaf man knew that these people were probably going to be finished. He also wondered where he had leaked the news. However, although he doubted many people, he never doubted Sun Chuanting. Because, Sun Chuanting didn't have time to pass on the news at all.

Looking at the row of heads now, the deaf man can be sure that this Sun Chuanting must be the opposite. The whole family was killed by the Liao soldiers, and this hatred knotted a lot. Squeezed down and took a closer look, although I couldn't see it clearly. But Meiyan'er doesn't seem to have much to check with Sun Chuanting's family, as a person in Sun Chengzong's mansion, Sun Chuanting's son Deaf Uncle has still seen it. In the past, Sun Chuanting often brought his son to ask his teacher Sun Chengzong for peace.

With this blood feud, I am not afraid that Sun Chuanting will not serve the Southern Ming Dynasty. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the deaf uncle's mouth, and he turned and squeezed out of the crowd. An hour later, a few pigeons flew up and went straight south in the Zuojiazhuang Farm on the outskirts of Beijing.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Hahahaha!" After receiving the news from the flying pigeon, Cao Huachun's laughter was like a night owl.

"Elder Wen Ge, look at this flying pigeon book. Li Xiao has already shown Sun Chuanting's family to the public, and it seems that Sun Chuanting's surrender is real. As long as you bring Sun Chuanting's full beard and full shadow to Jinling, your prestige will definitely rise. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's launch an impeachment, and we will definitely be able to push Zhou Yanru down. Cao Huachun turned his hand and handed the flying pigeon handbook to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Sun Chuanting is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the north, and he knows a lot about Li Xiao's secrets. Now we have Wu Sangui again, just wait until Wu Sangui builds a new gunpowder factory. Our Nanjing Forbidden Army can compete with Li Xiao's army.

Hey! The strength of our Nanjing forbidden army is three times that of the Liao army. If it is not enough, it will not be a problem to equip ten more divisions with our Jiangnan financial resources. Recovering the Beijing Division and crusading against Buchen is a military achievement. ”

Military merit is very attractive to Wen Tiren. Because there is an advantage to obtaining military merits, and that is knighthood. As Zhang Juzheng's junior and admirer, Wen Tiren is very envious of Zhang Taiyue's brilliance. That's really what you can't yearn for! Now, not only does he have the opportunity to accomplish Zhang Juzheng's glory, but he is more likely to obtain a succession title.

The officials of the court are like flowing water, but the nobles are like stones in the water. No matter how strong the current, as long as the wind and waves pass, the stone will always show its head.

Wen Tiren has a great interest in becoming a nobleman, so he has a great desire for military exploits.

"We have sent the company to Peach Blossom Island, and we have found a place in Suzhou to build a factory. The old slave has already instructed Wu Sangui to try to make a batch first. As soon as the plant is built, it will be ready for production. It's just that according to Wu Sangui's report, the ore needed for this kind of thing has not been found in Jiangnan for the time being. You need to send someone to find the ore first! ”

"Huh! Drilling mountains and burrowing feng shui is worthy of public opinion, this is your filial piety and strength. You tell someone to do it, and you can only go to the household department to get the amount of food you need. I've already said hello to Tobe! ”

"Thank you, Elder Pavilion!" For the search for ore, Cao Huachun is very confident. The Guanshan Taibao cultivated by them in the past dynasties is not only proficient in the art of feng shui. There are also more than 200 years of research on the search for dragon and vein, and finding a few mineral veins is simply pediatric. As long as this kind of mine exists in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to find out the archives of Xiaolingwei.

"Sun Chuanting must be properly sent to Jinling, and there is still that thing that can be planned and launched. Zhou Yanru, that seat should have been the old man's, why did you come to grab it? Wen Tiren shook his head, when it came to political skills, Zhou Yanru was really not his opponent of Wen Tiren.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Shi Kefa received a letter from Liu Jie in Xuzhou asking for help, and he was immediately shocked. The Liao army suddenly attacked Xuzhou, which is not a good thing. Once the Liao army drank the Yangtze River, there were warships to cooperate with the successful crossing of the river. The two Nanjing forbidden army divisions in Jinling couldn't hold out for even three days.

When he was looking at Haizhai in eastern Liaodong, Shi Kefa had learned the artillery firepower of the Liao warship. That kind of thing called rockets, no matter how much money is given, Li Xiao will not sell it. That thing is a weapon of war, even if you have 10,000 people, you have to be bombarded into slag by that thing.

Shi Kefa, who was anxious, immediately ordered his subordinates to shrink from all over Guanzhong to concentrate first. then drove all the way to Nanjing, and Shi Kefa threw the team to his son Stilwell. He took the elite first division of the Nanjing Forbidden Army and rushed to Nanjing. In his opinion, when he rushed to Nanjing, it would be good to be able to catch up with the defense of Nanjing.
