Chapter 32: Be a Good Man
Who reprimanded the Jinling magistrate before? Of course, a group of generals present knew.
At the moment, when everyone was about to relax, they were suddenly called by Zhu Jinghong, and anyone who knew about it would feel uncomfortable.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and in the end, in desperation, I turned around and followed the eunuch back to the forbidden palace.
But after walking for a while, they found that it seemed that the place they were going to was not the palace, and finally they were taken to the west side of the palace, where there was a vacant school field.
I saw that in the shooting range ahead, Zhu Jinghong had already changed into a strong suit, and was aiming at the target in the distance with his bow and arrows.
Today's Ming Dynasty, although firearms have been equipped on a large scale, but because of the accuracy and range and cost problems, the strong bow has not been eliminated from the combat sequence.
A group of military attachΓ©s were all experts, and they knew at a glance that Zhu Jinghong was one hundred and fifty steps away from the target.
For accurate shooting, this is already a very exaggerated distance, at least not one of the generals in this group has this ability.
"Can this really be shot?"
"I heard that the Thirteenth Master is superb in riding and shooting, and I still have the ability to come!"
"I'm afraid it's those flattering words in the capital, if we are so powerful at such a young age, won't we live in vain?"
"Don't say it, if the Thirteenth Master can draw such a hard bow, he will already be the champion of the three armies!"
Everyone was talking about it, but the senior officials of the Several Guards Division did not say a word, thinking about the purpose of Zhu Jinghong's summons.
However, the next moment, everyone only heard the sound of breaking through the sky, and the arrows had already whistled out.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, most of the generals present were old, so they couldn't see if they had been shot.
"Hit, hit the bull's-eye!"
Listening to the shouts of the eunuchs in front of him, Zhu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief.
He has not fully received the ability of his predecessor, and now he wants to show his hand to the generals of Jinling, so he is worried that he will show his ass by making a mistake.
After laughing twice, Zhu Jinghong threw his bow aside, and then turned to look at a group of generals.
"See the Thirteenth Master!"
Hurriedly took a few steps forward, and Zhu Jinghong motioned for everyone to get up: "This is not in the hall, you don't have to be polite!" β
After everyone got up, they focused their eyes on Zhu Jinghong, waiting for him to continue talking.
"I asked you to come here, because I have something to discuss with you, so let's go...... Let's talk as we go! β
So the people followed him and scattered around the school grounds.
"I just looked at the map, and now the main forces to encircle and suppress the Japanese are Suzhou Wei, Zhenhaiwei, Gaoyouwei and Yangzhou Wei, right?"
Wang Quanyi, who was following alongside, hurriedly replied: "Exactly! β
"Are the commanders of these guards here?"
"Xie Jiang, come here!"
As soon as Wang Quanyi shouted, four officials stepped forward behind him, obviously the chief officer of the four guards mentioned above.
"Are you too busy to encircle and suppress the Japanese on land and to send troops to defend the Japanese on the sea?"
If you want a real answer, it must be impossible to prevent it, but everyone chooses to be silent.
"What do you say?"
Asked by Zhu Jinghong, Wang Quanyi was greatly embarrassed and said: "It's indeed a little stretched, but the minister has already transferred elite support from various guards, and I think it can alleviate some of it!" β
The total number of troops drawn from the rest of the guards is less than 3,000, and it is difficult to say how much it can be alleviated.
"I've seen the plan you've come up with, and it's really detailed and feasible, but now it takes time to mobilize food and grass, and if the defense of the four guards goes wrong during this period, is your plan still feasible?"
The answer, of course, is no, and everyone on the scene knows that this is a pain point that they don't want to mention.
Glancing at these people, Zhu Jinghong stopped, turned around and said, "You have suffering, you must say it, why don't you say it in the court?" β
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong's tone was very similar to the leader of the company in his previous life, which was called a warm and kind person.
"Thirteenth master, if the army is superior and can't prevent the Japanese invaders, it is the incompetence of the ministers, how can they have a miserable face!" Wang Quanyi looked ashamed.
Zhu Jinghong waved his hand and said, "You can't say that, if you can solve the difficulties for you, my fourth brother and I will definitely think of a way!" β
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"
After a deep sigh, Zhu Jinghong raised his head and said: "It's better to be like this, I'll go and ask the fourth brother to give an order, let Qiu Hong lead the troops to the land of Susong'er to help you guard against the Japanese invaders!" β
Qiu Hong was one of the two generals who went to Jinling, and there were 1,500 cavalry under his command, and his combat ability was not ordinarily strong.
Hearing this, everyone in the capital showed joy, with the mobility of the cavalry, their participation in the battle will greatly relieve the pressure on the front line.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Wang Quanyi saluted solemnly, and all the generals behind him also saluted.
At this moment, they are really grateful to Zhu Jinghong.
Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly and said, "You must keep it, don't let the prince and me down!" β
"The ministers will definitely live up to the trust of the Thirteenth Master!"
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jinghong was very satisfied, and his heart was already happy.
He has already left a bad impression on the civilian officials, and he has to win over some people to become the basic plate, and the military generals have become the only choice.
In this way, Zhu Jinghong is happy to see it come to fruition, just because he doesn't want to be a sage in the Confucian scriptures.
Today, it is a critical period to reverse the fate of the nation, and he Zhu Jinghong does not want to be a sinner in history.
After encouraging everyone again, Zhu Jinghong let them leave.
After these people left, Zhu Jinghong said to the eunuch beside him: "Tell Qiu Hong to wait in the garden, I have something to tell him!" β
"Yes!"
Although Qiu Hong is only a general of the Wupin Beijing Battalion, his father is Qiu Liang, Marquis of Jingtian, and he is currently the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Now that there is no prince in the imperial court, the marquis is already the highest rank, which shows how strong the Qiu family is and how trusted by the emperor is.
Qiu Hong, who is thirty-three years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, holds the rank of Captain of the Wujie Martial Arts of Zhengwupin, and is at the critical moment of promotion.
At this time, mentioning him is a big favor for him.
When he received the summons, Qiu Hong had already walked out of the palace and was about to go to the army to check on him, so that he could be ordered to be promoted at any time.
But since Zhu Jinghong wanted to see him, Qiu Hong could only turn back.
Qiu Hong went out from the Dragon Guard ten years ago, and it can be said that he grew up watching Zhu Jinghong, and the two of them are not strangers.
When he came to the garden, the lake and spring came into view, but Qiu Hong was completely insensitive.
Just because he was full of merit and promotion, so that he could keep his family's title from falling, he devoted himself to the military camp and became a "child of other people's families" since he was a child.
Outside the pavilion, Zhu Jinghong was already tasting tea at this moment, and Yinglian, who was called, was pouring tea.
The beauty is on the side, the beautiful scenery is in front, isn't it happy to live like this.
"See the Thirteenth Master!"
Glancing at Qiu Hong outside, Zhu Jinghong got up and walked over, and helped him up with a smile.
"You, you have become more polite than those sour literati!"
Qiu Hong smiled, and then said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, how dare the minister slacken!" β
"Alright, let's sit down...... Taste the tea that is paid tribute by the South Vietnamese country, this is a good thing! β
Pulling Qiu Hong to sit down, Zhu Jinghong personally poured him a glass.
"Thirteenth master, the minister can't taste anything, don't spoil your good tea!"
Anyway, I asked you to come to the inventory, and it is just right to taste the tea...... While thinking, Zhu Jinghong handed the teacup to Qiu Hong.
This guy hurriedly got up and took it, and then drank it all under Zhu Jinghong's gaze, and was so scalded that it was called a grin.
Yinglian held back a smile on the side, while Zhu Jinghong laughed out loud, and at the same time motioned for Qiu Hong to sit down.
"I heard...... Are you already the captain of the Fifth Rank Martial Arts Festival? β
