Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ganzhou sent troops running around, and the garrisons in Guangdong, Fujian and other places bordering southern Gansu received within two days the assembly orders issued by Wang Shouren in the name of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Suppression of Bandits.  ¡ó¡ýw. Although the net is cast widely, the harvest is very small. The number of soldiers and horses in these places is really pitiful. The southern lands are vast and sparsely populated, and large state capitals often only have one or two guards of soldiers and horses.  Given the huge strength of King Ning's rebels, it was impossible for these state capitals to send out all their troops and only mobilized a part of their troops to cope with the situation; the number of troops they obtained in the past two days was only about 16,000.  Including the two local guards and horses in Ganzhou, the total number was 38,000. After that, no more soldiers came.  Wang Shouren knew that this was all the troops he could muster. In the past two days, news of the fall of Anqing Mansion came, and the rebels would move down the river to attack Nanjing in the blink of an eye. He no longer had time to assemble properly.  The troops are strong.  So Wang Shouren decided to immediately lead all his troops to start a counterattack; in order to threaten Nanchang as soon as possible, he gave up Nan'an and Ji'an, which were within easy reach, and went directly north to approach Fuzhou Prefecture.  To the north of the long and narrow Fuzhou Prefecture is Nanchang Prefecture. The army's attack on Fuzhou can directly convey the intention of attacking Nanchang to the rebels.  At the same time, Wang Shouren also did another thing. He sent people to spread false news, saying that he had assembled an army of 300,000, and contacted the two guards of Hanyang and Xingguo in Wuchang, Huguang to follow the river from the west.  Then attack the rebel rear.  In addition, more than a dozen guards and horses from several large state capitals in Fujian, such as Jianning Prefecture, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Yanping Prefecture, were also assembled to attack the eastern state capitals of Jiangxi from the east.  What's more, Wang Shouren also spread rumors about King Ning's life experience, saying that the biological mother of King Ning Zhu Chenhao was a prostitute who was brought into the palace by the previous generation of Ningkang King Zhu Jin. She was not even as good as a maid who gave birth to a son. Is this right?  It is still unknown whether he is the biological son of King Ningkang.  He also said that the prostitute who entered Prince Ning's palace gave birth to Zhu Chenhao in August, but the month was wrong, implying that Zhu Chenhao was not of the orthodox bloodline of the Zhu family.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????:????????????????????????????????????????????:??????? The reason why the imperial court did not allow Zhu Chenhao to inherit the title of prince until the 12th year after Ningkang Wang Hongzhi died of illness ten years ago was because Zhu Chenhao¡¯s bloodline was questionable.  ?????????????????????????????.  Such news naturally soon reached the ears of Zhu Chenhao, who had just captured Anqing Mansion. He had taken down Anqing Mansion, the last barrier that hindered his journey to Nanjing, in one fell swoop. Zhu Chenhao was so happy that he didn't know why. When these news spread  When he arrived at the military camp, Zhu Chenhao felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on his head. He was angry, surprised and annoyed.  He immediately summoned his so-called ministers to discuss countermeasures in the Anqing Mansion Yamen, which was used as a temporary residence. The topic of the meeting was certainly not to discuss his life experience. Although he knew that this rumor would make many people give up the idea of ??relying on him, Zhu Chen  What Hao is currently worried about is not these, but the news that many soldiers and horses are attacking Jiangxi.  "Tell me, where should we go now? Should we immediately turn around to rescue Nanchang, or go down the river to attack Nanjing?" Zhu Chenhao sat on the simple dragon chair that he had just made a few days ago with his eyes bulging.  The appearance is similar, but the materials used for its workmanship are hasty, but Zhu Chenhao doesn't care about that.  "Your Majesty." Wang Lun, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said. From the day of the incident, everyone consciously changed their titles. Although they have not yet ascended the throne, everyone has already spoken of the word "Emperor" very smoothly.  "Your Majesty, I believe that Wang Shouren's theory of an army of 300,000 is pure nonsense. Where did he get the 300,000 troops? The total number of troops in Fujian and Guangdong is less than 300,000. In my opinion,  He has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses. He has 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Nanchang, and we have 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind. Plus many rural militia groups, weapons and firearms are abundant, and he will never come back.  The minister believes that there is no need to pay attention to him. The urgent task now is to capture Nanjing in one fell swoop, recruit local soldiers and horses in Nanjing, recruit troops to stabilize the south, draw rivers to rule, and then move northward. " "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what you said makes sense.  I also think so. Wang Shouren is a man of many tricks. Although he is a scholar, he is a different kind of scholar among me. He likes to engage in some evil doctrines. These are all his tricks. The purpose is to make us look at each other.  Hesitant, I think there is no need to pay attention to him," Liu Yangzheng, the prime minister and military adviser on the right, also said with emotion.  Zhu Chenhao hesitated, thought for a while and said: "What about the news that all the troops and horses from Huguang and Fujian are coming to attack? What if the news that all the troops and horses are coming to attack from Hanyang Prefecture in Wuchang, Hubei, and Yanping Prefecture in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places is true.  , isn¡¯t my Nanchang going to be lost?¡± Wang Lundao said: ¡°Those are all rumors. Over the past ten days or so, the emperor¡¯s actions have been met with overwhelming response, and they have destroyed everything wherever they go. The state capitals in Huguang, Fujian and other places cannot protect themselves.  They haven't sent troops for several days, so why are they gathering troops to attack now? It's obviously a fraud." Liu Yangzheng said: "Looking at it all, this is a suspicious plan. If we return the troops to rescue, we willHaving been held back, it is now time to take advantage of the power of our army's victory to capture Nanjing and ascend the throne as emperor. If we are held back by these things, it will be really difficult once the imperial army arrives or Nanjing is fully defended.  The only way is to seize Nanjing and control the defense line on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Even if the imperial army arrives, they can only look at us across the river and sigh.  " Zhu Chenhao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zuo Prime Minister Li Shishi, who was silent and frowning, and said: "Mr. Li, what do you think?  Why don't you talk and listen?  " Li Shishi coughed and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what the two adults said makes sense, but what I think is different.  " Zhu Chenhao opened his eyes wide and listened. In his heart, he valued Li Shishi's opinion. After all, this person was a high-ranking official who had served as the minister of punishment in the imperial court. He had richer experience and experience than his subordinates Wang Lun, Liu Yangzheng and others.  , Especially Liu Yangzheng, he was just a civil servant and had never held a decent official position. Although he had some strategies and skills, he had little experience and it was hard to believe. "The veteran believes that Nanchang Mansion is the foundation of the emperor for so many years.  Come and operate in Nanchang and Jiangxi. From any point of view, they are our rear areas.  Regardless of whether these news are true or not, one thing is certain, Wang Shouren is leading tens of thousands of troops to attack Fuzhou Mansion. This can be confirmed from the battle report sent by Fuzhou people.  The old minister is worried about what we should do if Nanchang is lost?  "Liu Yangzheng frowned and said: "Sir, after taking Nanjing, what is Nanchang?  " Li Shishi shook his head and said: "No, Nanjing is not easy to get. Nanjing's left-behind Si Jinwu and Yingtianfu guards also have tens of thousands of troops stationed. Once the war goes unfavorably, they will be in a stalemate.  The food, wages, materials and equipment of our army are all in Nanchang Mansion. If the war in the front is unfavorable and the rear is cut off from food and wages, it will mean that both ends are stuck, and a disaster is imminent.  Without the supplement of food, wages and supplies, what could we do to capture Nanjing?  If Nanjing cannot be captured and Nanchang is lost, will you allow the emperor to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the river cities of Jiujiang and Nankang and Anqing?  Liu Yangzheng shouted: "How is that possible?"  When our army marches down, Nanjing will be conquered in one fell swoop, and there will be no difficulty at all.  The three soldiers and horses of Jinwu Guard in Nanjing are the emperor's men and have sent secret messages to inform them of the internal response. This is not a problem at all.  " Li Shishi waved his hand and said: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the worst. Who dares to guarantee it?  "Liu Yangzheng puffed up his chest and said: "I dare, I believe I can win Nanjing in one fell swoop.  " Li Shishi looked at him sideways and said, "You?  What guarantee do you have?  Can you bear the emperor's safety?  What qualifications do you have?  What official position have you held?  What battles were fought?  What achievements have you made?  Rather, please tell me, can your words put the emperor in danger?  Liu Yangzheng was furious and said with a red face: "What are these words?"  Don¡¯t I think about the emperor?  After taking Nanjing, half of the big things will be done" Zhu Chenhao waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "If we can't take Nanjing, all the big things will fail. We can't take this risk.  Mr. Li is right. Nanchang Mansion is my rear area. How can I not save the fire in the backyard?  After I send my troops back to support, cut Wang Shouren's corpse into thousands of pieces and stabilize the rear, it will not be too late to attack Nanjing down the river. I don't think it will take more than ten days. By then, the imperial troops may have just arrived on the north bank.  They were too late.  "Liu Yangzheng shouted: "Your Majesty, think twice, the person leading the troops is Song Nan. Don't you often say that this person is cunning and difficult to deal with?  He is coming with his army, shouldn't you be more careful?  "Zhu Chenhao waved his hand and said: "Don't let others' ambition destroy your own prestige.  Although Song Nan is a person, he is just mediocre in my opinion. I had him under my control at the beginning. If the Tatars had not come out to cause trouble, he would have retired in the countryside.  I know all the things he did secretly, but I know what he does, but he doesn't know what I do.  It's just that he ruined my major event. If not, why would I need to raise an army?  I do hope that he will come. I want to prove to the world that he, Song Nan, is not worth mentioning.  "Liu Yangzheng did not dare to speak any more, and sighed in silence.
