p > received the flying pigeon transmission from Jingshi, and the hearts of all those who knew the content became extremely heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And Jiang Xia locked himself in the study alone and didn't come out all afternoon.
p > as early as when Jiangxia had just begun to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens and was preparing for Zhu Zaijiang to officially take the government, he had already felt that Tatar and the "Wuxia" organization should have a certain connection. Otherwise, it could not be such a coincidence, the Wuxia organization was just about to seize power at the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, and the Tatars immediately attacked the border pass and prevented the border army from returning to the Beijing Division.
p> But Jiang Xia didn't expect that Tatar and the Wuxia organization would cooperate so closely. Now that the Tatars are attacking Jizhou Mansion and controlling the Wuxia organization in the south of the Yangtze River, they actually sent troops to take the waterway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and directly killed the periphery of the Beijing Division.
p> Calculated from the point of view of time, this should be when Jiangxia had just led his troops out of Beijing and was about to gallop to aid Yongping Mansion, and Nanjing began to send troops and horses.
p> Not only that, according to the news in the book of the flying pigeon, because of the dispatch from Nanjing, the king of Qi in Shanxi and the king of Lu in Shandong also sent a large army at the same time and was approaching the Beijing division. In this way, the three-way army marched hand in hand, and the goal was to take the Beijing division directly, which basically forced Jiang Xia to return to the Beijing division to preside over the overall situation.
P>But if Jiangxia withdraws from the Jizhou Mansion now, then there are two problems to face. One Jizhou Mansion will be broken, and the Tatars will be killed all the way to the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division will be attacked on the back of the enemy. Jiang Xia also believed that Jiang Bin would not let himself withdraw to the capital so easily.
p > but if he does not withdraw, the Beijing division will have no leader, and in the face of the menacing three-way army, whether the Beijing division can defend it safely is a question that Jiangxia cannot guarantee.
p> Fortunately, there are two people in the Beijing Division, Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren, and the two of them are also proficient in arranging troops.
P> so now there is only one way left for Jiangxia, that is, to deal with the Tatar army in a short time, and then withdraw to the Beijing division and preside over the overall situation.
p>But Jiang Bin and Jiang Bin's 100,000-strong Tatar army can really be solved so easily? I don't need to say the answer, I believe everyone knows that it is no.
p> Not to mention the courage and good fighting of the Tatar soldiers, even if the combat effectiveness is equal to that of the Ming soldiers, the Ming soldiers in Jizhou Prefecture are not as good as the Tatar army.
p > Jiang Xia locked himself in the study, and Xia Jialin, who didn't know him very well, thought that Jiang Xia had been hit hard and was about to collapse.
p>But those who have followed Jiang Xia for many years, such as Xiao Shu, Qian Juexing, and Zhang Meng, don't have the slightest intention of worrying. Because they knew that Jiang Xia locked himself in the study, it was definitely not because he was hit, but because he was thinking about countermeasures.
In the > study, Jiang Xia was sitting on a Taishi chair, his eyes staring at a topographical map of Jizhou Mansion in front of him. God knows, he has been in this position for more than three hours, and he has not moved.
p > In the dead of night, Jiang Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the entire map off the shelf of the wall chart, and then took it to the desk and spread it out.
p> he picked up a brush on the table and drew a few strokes on the drawing. Then he threw down the brush, walked to the door and opened the door and shouted: "Come on, immediately spread Lord Xia Jialin, Xiao Kill, Qianjiexing and others to come!"
p> "Yes!" Not far from the study, several guards standing in the garden hurriedly went to pass the word to Jiangxia after receiving the order.
p>Not long after, Xia Jialin and Xiao killed them and came. After seeing Jiang Xia, Xia Jialin first knelt down to Jiang Xia and saluted, and shouted: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
p > Xiao Shu and the others saw Xia Jialin like this, so they had no choice but to kneel down and salute and shout: "See the emperor." ”
p> Jiangxia was helpless, and hurriedly said: "No courtesy, no courtesy." Flat ......"
p> After everyone stood up, Jiang Xia beckoned to Xia Jialin and said, "Lord Xia, please come and take a look." ”
p> "Yes, Wechen obeys." After Xia Jialin walked in front of Jiang Xia, he didn't forget to say to Jiang Xia: "Please forgive Weichen for being rude." Only then did he stand beside Jiang Xia.
p> Jiang Xia stretched out his hand on the ground, nodded the place he had sketched with a brush, and asked, "Lord Xia, do you know where this is?"
p> "If you go back to the emperor, this is Jiangbei County, which is very close to Jizhou Prefecture. Xia Jialin said.
p> Jiang Xia nodded and asked, "Lord Xia, as far as I know, this county has suffered a flood once, right?"
p> Xia Jialin nodded and said, "There is indeed one." At that time, it was due to the upstream of the Luan River, the section close to Baiyan Mountain, encountered the Baiyan Mountain debris flow landslide. Mudble poured down from the mountains, blocking the upper reaches of the Luan River.
p> Then the river was diverted and poured into Jiangbei County. Fortunately, at that time, the emperor issued a warrant and ordered all the soldiers of the surrounding guard to go and dig the blocked channel of the Luanhe River, otherwise the river water would pour into the Jizhou Mansion. Maybe the entire Jizhou Mansion will be flooded. ”
p> Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, and didn't have time to speak. Xia Jialin's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly guessed what Jiang Xia wanted to do. Xia Jialin stared at Jiang Xia and asked, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"
p> Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Lord Xia, the situation is critical now, and this is the only way I can think of." There is no other way for me to do this. ”
p> "But this ...... This ......" Xia Jialin suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Jiang Xia: "Please think twice, if you really use such a method, if you don't remedy it in time, I'm afraid it will be more than Jiangbei County and Jizhou Mansion at that time." Even the villages and counties near Jizhou Mansion may also suffer. When the time comes, people will be displaced, the harvest will be lost, and many people will die. ”
p> After Jiang Xia heard this, he also showed unbearable expression. He sighed and said, "Lord Xia, if you don't use this method. Jizhou Mansion I have to give up, and when the time comes, the Tatars will plunder, burn, kill and loot. Civilians will also be displaced, with heavy casualties.
p > Now that there is a war near Jizhou Mansion, many people have begun to flee to Beijing. I thought I would simply encourage the people to continue to evacuate to the capital until they were almost done. We should have only finished preparing this plan, and when the time comes, we will not use this plan to cause much harm to the people. ”
p> "This ......" Xia Jialin hesitated.
p > deepest in his heart, he naturally opposed Jiang Xia's idea. But he also understands that apart from this planned accident, there is really no other way to deal with the situation in front of him.
p> Xia Jialin finally sighed and said, "Then obey the emperor's will." ”
p> Jiangxia bowed slightly.
Zhang Meng, who was on the side of the >, couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" Why can't I understand?" r1058
