The troops of the King of Han Wang's army came to the city of Jiujiang; after defeating the main force of Shenji Camp, the Yongding Camp of the Zhuque Army also chased the city from the west as the victory tail.
After the two armies briefly confronted outside the city, Zhang Ning ordered the army to retreat ten miles to ease the situation.
At that time, there were not many imperial officials in Jiujiang City. The main forces of the two squads and three armies of the Shenji Camp were destroyed. The docks in which the defenders in the city contacted Jiangbei were also cut off, and the city was broken only in the evening.
The only difference lies in who takes the item in this bag.
After a while, the Han Wangjun sent an envoy to negotiate.
Since it was already evening when he arrived at Yongdingying Camp, Zhang Ning arranged for his aide Chen Maocai to receive and settle his food and accommodation for the time being, and wait until he would meet the envoy tomorrow morning to discuss official duties.
Chen Maocai went to Nanjing several times and sent gifts to the bureaucrats in Nanjing to make friends. He met many people there, so it was the best thing to ask him to come forward to receive the envoys.
That night, another messenger came to the camp, who was sent by the provincial eunuch to deliver the letter to Mrs. Yao.
The letter only asked Zhang Ning to return to Wuchang to discuss matters as soon as possible after his military affairs were slowed down, but did not mention what to discuss in the letter.
Zhang Ning's thoughts were made several times, and he didn't want to mention any important and confidential matters in the letter?
Yao Ji knew that the military affairs in Jiujiang City were important, but she still sent someone to urge her, which shows that this matter was extraordinary.
He remembered that he received a letter from the Escort Provincial Department about monitoring the rise of Prince Wenkui not long ago, and he couldn't help but think: Did Wenkui fall into the hands of the spy from the Escort Provincial Department after his failure to raise the army and was even killed directly?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ning had no intention of bargaining with the people of the Han Wangjun again, and just wanted to rush back to Wuchang City as soon as possible to see what was going on.
At this moment, Zhu Heng, Chen Maocai and others entered the tent, and Chen Maocai reported: The envoys have been settled properly, so that they can rest in the camp for one night, and the food, accommodation and expenses are all right, but they are not allowed to walk around in the camp.
Zhang Ning was silent without commenting on whether he could tell the truth. Everyone didn't care. He didn't need to ask about this kind of thing.
Zhu Heng continued: Wang Shishun, in accordance with the order of Nanjing, transferred troops from Nanzhili to Jiangxi to reinforce Jiujiang City. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in front of the Beijing camp. He must have wanted to retrieve Jiujiang City. Fortunately, he had something to say in the Han Palace to avoid being punished.If they sent someone to say who the Jiujiang City belonged to, the old minister thought he could be a favor to send Wang Shishun.First, if Yongding Camp occupied Jiujiang City, and the Zhuque Army's front line was pulled to Jiangxi, it would lead to insufficient troops; not to mention that if we occupied Jiujiang City, we could not guarantee the safety of the Eastern Front, and we had to operate Poyang Lake, but we had no naval army here, so we had to seek help from the Han Wangjun. It would be better to let Jiujiang City enter the Han Wangjun as well.Secondly, if the two sides have a disagreement over the Jiujiang City, they have to use force to threaten Wang Shishun's troops, then Ding is not the opponent of Yongdingying Camp, but why do we go to war with the Han Wang army or worsen the relationship is not the best strategy.
After hearing this, some people nodded and some sighed slightly.
This is inevitable. The Jiangxi Provincial Administration is also a place for fish and rice to produce grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiujiang City has the benefits of water and land transportation, rich products and developed trade and handicrafts and rich people. It is originally a piece of fat meat.
But it is a pity that the meat that reaches the mouth cannot be eaten because I am already full and cannot hold my stomach.
Liang Yan said: The military expenditure is difficult in the near future. If Jiujiang City is handed over, a condition can be attached when discussing tomorrow and a batch of captured Shenji Camp guns and cannons will be sold to the Han Wangjun.
Liang Yan’s suggestions are still well-founded.
The convex guns are easy to be damaged. A batch of arms sent to the Han Wang Army for free before was mostly damaged because of their poor maintenance. However, the Han Wang Mansion sent people to imitate arms, but they could not create qualified guns. Due to the problems of the bureaucratic system, the materials and workmanship were shoddy and could not be used on the battlefield.
Later, the Han Palace tried to get Wuchang to give another batch of arms...
The request was obviously rejected in the end. The firearms of the Zhuque Army were also made by labor and labor. If the manpower needs money and food to support him, how can he give it for free without restraint?
It can be seen that the lack of firearms in the Han Wang army was exactly the time to be needed.
In addition, the soldiers of the Suzaku Army were unwilling to use the captured large mesh gun. It is a benefit to have a longer range, but it is also important to be unaccustomed to the heavy operation.
The specifications of the guns are different, and the weight of the medicine and the size of the lead bullet must be changed. The lead bullet can also be made temporarily by yourself. The lead blocks are cooked with a clamp and the size of the clip is not in line with the size of the clip, which is very inconvenient.
So it is of course very cost-effective to sell the firearms you don’t want to use.
After everyone was talking, Zhang Ning finally said: The decision on Jiujiang City will be discussed with you and then done.I will go back to Wuchang tomorrow.
Zhang Ning suddenly said this surprised everyone.However, he came and went in a hurry. He arrived at the Jiujiang battlefield suddenly and said it.
He turned his head and pondered for a little, and said: The military pressure in the north is huge, and the number of troops in the Zhuque Army is very tight. We have to come up with a large number of ways to expand the army as soon as possible. There are millions of young and strong people in Huguang, and find ways to mobilize some of them to expand their troops.To expand the army, money, grain and finance also need to think of ways... As for the aftermath here, Zhu Butang decided, and then wrote a consultation to send it back to Wuchang for me to take a look.
Zhu Heng also wanted to ask about the handling attitude of Zhang Chengzong, the general who caused heavy losses to the Third Army, but seeing Zhang Ning frowning, as if he was thinking of a bigger layout, he swallowed the words he said, thinking that this matter might be able to help him solve his problems.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Ning looked up and said: By the way, he would still lead the Third Army for Zhang Chengzong, but he would have to punish him from other aspects as a punishment.You can think about the reasons for the disposal.
Zhu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said: Yes, I will definitely do the big and big things.
The next morning, Zhang Ning took the guards away from the camp.
He was still riding in the carriage with a lot of cotton, but the fractures on his legs seemed to be almost done. It would be fine if he didn't need a crutch to walk slowly, but he felt that he would still have to take care of it for a while, otherwise it would be bad to leave a hidden speed in the future and walk and limp.
……
A few days later, Zhang Ning's horse team arrived in Wuchang City, and he went straight to the Chu Palace to see Yao Ji.
The Chu Palace was still as quiet as ever. When he saw the clean palace avenue, the green grass and trees, and the beautiful pavilions and towers, he felt that the smoke of fighting outside was just a dream.
But when I looked down and saw my dusty clothes and the gray and black smoke on my body, I realized that the huge difference between the inside and the outside was real.
Seeing his appearance, Yao Ji must have rushed over to meet him as soon as she returned to Wuchang City, and told him about the past few days.
Zhang Ning was not shocked, but his worrying appearance made Yao Ji unable to show pleasure because of taking revenge on Queen Ma.
Yao Ji tried to explain: The prince was defeated and disappeared, and our people happened to find out his whereabouts. The opportunity was very good. If you don’t kill him this time, it would be difficult to have a chance in the future.You raised an army to fight against Emperor Jianwen, and you also regarded Jianwen as the truth. When you accomplish great things in the future, you will be regarded as the emperor, and the crown prince will be the crown prince. Who will the throne be passed to in the future?If you are unreasonable in terms of status, it will inevitably cause many troubles, but you will get rid of hidden dangers once and for all today.
Zhang Ning said: My mother’s words are reasonable, but some of me must have suspected that it was our actions, and Jianwenjun would also think so...
Yao Ji apologized: Wen Kui is your brother after all, and I have something wrong with it. I should tell you before deciding.
Everyone is killed, what's the use of saying this now?
However, when it comes to brothers, Zhang Ning has no psychological burden. It is really hard to have any feelings for this brother. It would be fine if he had never met him before. He didn't think Wen Kui was really his own brother. In his heart, Wen Kui was not even as good as Zhang Shicai of the Zhang family before.
The only thing Zhang Ning is worried about is Emperor Jianwen. He is trying to use Emperor Jianwen's title to recruit soldiers recently. If anything goes wrong in the middle, the whole situation will be affected.
Hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangbei are eyeing each other, so it is too early to consider the power struggle after the achievement.
But Zhang Ning really didn't want to speak to Yao Ji in a accusing tone. He paused and asked: Where is Queen Ma?
After hearing this, Yao Ji hesitated slightly on her face and immediately replied: We have been taken away by our people and are escorting back to the palace from Guizhou to "reunite" with the emperor.
She couldn't help but wonder why Zhang Ning suddenly asked about Queen Ma, probably because she had already understood her mentality.
The reason why she killed Zhu Wenkui was for the sake of her future status, but more importantly, it may be out of her mentality of revenge on Queen Ma...
Zhang Ning reminded her that she already knew.
Even though Zhang Ning had not lived with Yao Ji since she was a child, she did not fulfill her responsibilities of raising her, and Zhang Ning repeatedly said that he had come from the future and did not admit that he was her son; but Yao Ji found that Zhang Ning was still the person in this world who really understood her mind.
At this moment, Zhang Ning sighed slightly: There is nothing wrong with the mother's mother doing. Even if she told me in advance, I would agree.
He didn't say anything extreme, but after a few words, Yao Ji's emotions got out of control. She said palely: You have been sent to the people's houses for raising you since childhood. Although you are not a wealthy family, you have also studied, fed and fed. If you are peaceful, you naturally don't understand what kind of suffering I suffered!If you were not in the Zhang family in Nanjing... you wouldn't understand, because you would have died long ago!
Zhang Ning hurriedly said kindly: I understand.So Queen Ma’s life must be kept, and if the opportunity is right in the future, you will torture her slowly.But now, don’t tell her about Zhu Wenkui’s death for now, as this may lead to Emperor Jianwen.
future?The head of the head is placed in the ice box, but it will be unrecognizable when it takes too long. How can I let the vicious woman see her son's head with her own eyes in the future? How can I see her heartbroken expression?
Yao Ji's fingers were trembling.
After the two armies briefly confronted outside the city, Zhang Ning ordered the army to retreat ten miles to ease the situation.
At that time, there were not many imperial officials in Jiujiang City. The main forces of the two squads and three armies of the Shenji Camp were destroyed. The docks in which the defenders in the city contacted Jiangbei were also cut off, and the city was broken only in the evening.
