The rainy night came very early. Not long after You hour, the sky gradually became darker, and the palace lanterns in the Chu King's palace were lit one after another.
The yellow light emitted by the palace lanterns seemed to be covered with a hazy halo in the rain curtain. The raindrops floating in the air were illuminated by the lights, making them particularly eye-catching in the night.
The Zhongzheng Hall where Emperor Jianwen lives is quiet. This is not the New Year, and there seems to be nothing to celebrate, so there is no singing and dancing or banquet.In fact, Nangong has always seemed a little deserted.
Empress Ma had nothing to do at this time. She had not been sleeping for many years, and it was too early to sleep at this time.
Her emotions were vented on a young girl in her early teens. This girl was Zhu Nanping, the only daughter of Prince Zhu Wenkui.
You must remember that Yao Ji and Zhu Wenbi, a mother and son, have a bloody hatred with our family. They are your father-killing enemy!
Queen Ma gritted her teeth and instilled hatred into the silent little girl.
As for the unscrupulous insults such as calling others a dog, mother and son, she has no scruples.
Zhu Nanping lowered his head, said nothing, just listened and did not move, like a wooden man.
She really doesn't look like a royal noble. There are few people as introverted and taciturn as her from such a noble family. She doesn't have the willful and arrogant attitude of a princess, but she looks like a punching bag.
Maybe it was because she, the so-called princess, had not had many good days of spoiling and had experienced too much ups and downs.
When she was a few years old, she even suffered a fire that was almost burned to death.
After surviving, my right eye almost became blind. After the treatment, my eyes had poor vision and everything was blurred. Fortunately, there was one eye that could see clearly.
As she grew up, she gradually realized that the most important thing was not that her eyes couldn't see things clearly, but that the ugly scars left around her eyes made her very inferior and felt that she was worse than ordinary women. Her natural appearance was ruined.
Zhu Nanping almost never goes out, and he covers his face when he goes out.
But it is obviously not possible to cover her face with a cloth, especially in front of the elders, so she was also very attentive at the angle at this time. Her right face was facing the direction of the lamp stand, and the shadow made her right eye less conspicuous, so she could feel more at ease.
Empress Ma was continuing to say what she said, and she wiped her tears sadly. Your father has been killed. Now you are my only relative... Are you listening to me?!
Zhu Nanping whispered: Listening.
Empress Ma said again: Yao Ji and Zhu Wenbiao are your enemies who killed their father, remember?
Zhu Nanping nodded.
Queen Ma was only satisfied and thought for a while and said: In the future, I will find you a capable prince-consort. You must let him rebel and take back all the ones belonging to our family!Those palace maids who came from humble origins had a humble fate in the end!
I have to admit that women are very imaginative.
……
Zhang Ning also did not have the habit of going to bed so early. He came back from Yao Ji and went to the study next to the bedroom to spend a while.
I had already thought about sleeping with my wife, Zhou Tui, tonight, but I didn't want to go so early, because if I stayed in a bed room with a beautiful young woman, I could do it casually no matter how long I was, I wouldn't be able to resist going to bed to do that.
The study in the living room does not have official documents, and it is mostly irrelevant books. It is very good to read from time to time and can change your thinking.
People who are literate in this era are good to pass the time like this.
Zhang Xiaomei came to the study, and Zhang Ning was a little moved after reading Gongyang Chuan and wanted to write an article, so he called Xiaomei to help polish the ink.
The little sister said, "Wait a moment, and seemed to remember something, so she went out. After a while, she took a inkstone to grind the ink: I will put this here, my brother will use it."
I saw that this inkstone was very coarse and looked familiar.My younger sister said: I took it from my hometown in Nanjing. My brother used to study in the imperial examination for many years.
Zhang Ning shook his head and said: Why do you take a inkstone away from you from a long distance?
I remember that year my brother offended my uncle's order and had to take me to the capital. When I left, I packed up a pack of things randomly, but this inkstone was taken by mistake.Later, I found out that I thought about my brother being frugal when he was studying, and after using things for so many years, I couldn't bear to throw them away.
Zhang Ning's joking expression gradually stopped, and an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart.
I heard Zhang Xiaomei say again: Later, my hometown in Nanjing was gone, and my uncle and elder brother and sister-in-law were gone... Her voice gradually became a little choked, and she smiled again in tears, pursing her lips and saying with a smile, "Luckily my brother is still there."
Zhang Ning said a word, reached out to hold her hand on the back of her head, and said kindly: My hometown in Nanjing is still here. When my brother defeats the enemy soldiers in Nanzhili, we will move back to our hometown to live without having to wander outside.
real?The little girl showed a real surprise.
Zhang Ning nodded vigorously: What I said to my younger sister will definitely do!
……
Yu Qian kept moving around almost all the prefectures and counties outside Poyang Lake, trying to understand the terrain and scenery in the defense zone.
His memorial was also changed and stopped, and it has not been finished in more than half a month.
The defense strategy I want to submit to the Ministry of War in the article is almost completed.
After staying in Jiangxi for several months, Yu Qian believed that although there were disadvantages of dividing troops to fight on the east bank of Poyang Lake (Jiujiang on the west bank must deal with the threat of Beijing camp from Jiangbei), he could effectively protect the control of Poyang Lake.
There is no danger to defend in Jiangxi, and Poyang Lake is the only barrier; at this time, because Jiujiang, Duchang and other cities around the lake were all under the hands of the Zhuque Army, and the navy of the King of Han was active on the lake and cut off the entrance to the lake, so the official navy on the Yangtze River could not reach Poyang Lake.
However, once the east bank is abandoned and the government forces are allowed to drink horses on the lake shore, the control of Poyang Lake will be difficult to guarantee. First, the government forces have strongholds, and second, the Hanwang navy on the lake is too weak.
Yu Qian suggested that the biggest strategic purpose of fighting on the Eastern Front was to preserve Poyang Lake.
He discussed his military insights for thousands of articles, which were very smooth.The only thing that is difficult to write is to ask for guns and cannons from Wuchang.
According to Yu Qian, the first batch of flintlock rifles developed by the Weapons Bureau last time have been built.
Since Zhang Ning and the officials of the Weapon Bureau decided to stop manufacturing the colloid gun and build the new flintlock gun, it means that the new firearm has its own advantages and can replace the original firearm.
It is said that the flintlock rifle fires faster and is less afraid of weather effects such as humidity.
Yu Qian wanted this batch of new weapons, and he thought it was a reasonable request.
Since Yongding Camp is the most elite unit of the Vermilion Bird Army, it should be equipped with the best weapons; in addition, Jiangxi is currently under the greatest pressure, so there is no doubt that it will invest its strength.
In addition, it is unlikely that the surrendered soldiers of the Han Wang Army will be the opponent of the elite soldiers of Datong, Xuanfu, and they should also be equipped with muskets and heavy artillery to be qualified to fight against the official army.
Moreover, the armour should be transferred to the Han Wang Army as soon as possible for training; many of this group of people have obtained a medley gun in Jiujiang before and taught and used, but tactical formations still need to be retrained before use.
Yu Qian was unable to write about these reasonable requirements for a long time.He couldn't help but ask himself: Is it appropriate to make a comment like this?The key is what effect will it produce?
One day, he walked to the head of Duchang County, looked at the endless water surface of Poyang Lake, and finally clarified his concerns for many days.
First of all, Wang Jian’s visit. Yu Qian was worried that the matter had been exposed, so he had to question the degree of trust that King Xiang had in him now.
Moreover, he held heavy troops outside and controlled the military and political power of Jiangxi. He would have made the superiors guard against it. This is human nature.
Therefore, Yu Qian had to carefully weigh his words and deeds.
If you ask for a large number of guns and cannons from Wuchang at this time, will it be regarded as a test or a threat?
It should not be considered a blatant threat. The soldiers of Yongding Camp have a clear background and position and cannot have too much to do with Yu Qian. As for the surrendered army recruited by Jiujiang, although they finally managed to win some morale, the time was still short, and the combat effectiveness was relatively weak. I am afraid that those people would have to follow Yu Qian to rebel.
It is very possible to treat it as a test.
Yu Qian really wanted to test it out. If Wuchang no longer trusts himself, then there will be many constraints in commanding soldiers in Jiangxi. It is even more harmful and useless to consider being the governor of Jiangxi from all aspects. What is the meaning of this official?
However, it seems inappropriate to test by asking for arms, and it is too aggressive.
A person who dares to raise his attitude to face the superior means putting himself in a position of equality and is ready to bear the consequences of confrontation; otherwise, doing so will undoubtedly be useless.
At this moment, General Wei Bin walked up to the city and walked towards Yu Qian.Yu Qian temporarily put down his concerns and greeted him.
At the height of this city tower, Wei Bin could also look at the water of the lake and sighed: It's such a beautiful scenery in this place.
Yu Qian said casually: Very good.But I don’t know how deep the water of Poyang Lake is?
Wei Bin said: A large ship can be feasible in the middle of the lake, and the water should be very deep.The shore was shallow. Please see, the big ship did not dock, but put the boat over because the lake shore was shallow. The big ship did not get enough water.
Yu Qian smiled and said: It was just that the water was shallow when it got ashore.
