Feng Youxian led his army to set off for Changde today, and Zhang Ning also embarked on the road to return.
The Yuelu Mountain Battle has not yet ended, and it will be handed over to Zhu Heng and Zhou Mengxiong, who will be in charge of strategic decision-making and Zhou Mengxiong will be in charge of military power. I believe that there is nothing worse than Zhang Ning in terms of combat.
He said that he wanted to go back to Changde to take charge of many matters himself, but the real reason was that Yao Ji and his wife were in danger of the city, and only he knew the joints in his heart, but he would not say them out.
If you want to do a big thing in the world, you must be willing to give up some personal relationships, just like Liu Bei's wife jumped into a well back then; Zhang Ning certainly wouldn't say that my wife is still in Changde, and I want to go back to save them. How could she do a big thing like this?
Even Zhou Mengxiong didn't mention his daughter at all, as if a woman was an irrelevant existence in the overall situation.
However, if Zhang Ningshe really wants to do it, he probably can't do it. He believes that he has not reached that level yet. Instead of constantly suffering painful psychological torture for his past losses in the rest of his life in the future, it is better to cherish it now.
The Ma Bing Brigade returned west along the official road. It was already afternoon when he set off. He arrived at the evening and was just close to the bank of the river that was ambushed yesterday.Zhang Ning then ordered camping by the river to rest.
The troops were busy setting up camp tents at the foot of the mountain and raising fires to make meals.
Zhang Ning was excited and asked Feng Youxian to accompany him to go up the hillside for a walk.
Does this hillside have a name?
Zhang Ning asked about the followers on both sides, but no one knew about them. It turned out to be just a small hill with unknown names.
When he climbed up the mountain in heavy armor, Zhang Ning felt sweating in his vest, so he simply asked his followers to help him remove his armor, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Feng Youxian, who was on the side, was very physically strong. He was still wearing heavy armor and looked calm when he climbed the mountain.
When he saw Zhang Ning standing there again looking down at the foot of the mountain, he casually said: Governor Yu is a civil servant. He stood here yesterday and issued an order to conspire to us. He should not have been wearing armor.
Zhang Ning looked back at Feng Youxian and smiled meaninglessly.Most of the time Feng Youxian heard that he mentioned Yu Qian several times, he said this.
Thinking of Yu Qian, Zhang Ning felt a very complicated emotion in his heart.
Among the many emotions, only the simplest and most direct feeling is the strongest, that is, anger.
It’s like a dangerous person who wants to kill himself, you can’t stand it anyway.
Zhang Ning secretly admitted that he was not that noble.
In addition, he has another kind of embarrassment that is hit by confidence and humiliated.
This feeling is like having an argument with someone when he was a child. He was beaten up and humiliated by the other party when he was not strong enough.
The Suzaku Army had strong cohesion and resilience in fact, only a few thousand permanent soldiers, and most of them had already taken the main force to fight eastward; 90% of the defenders of Changde Prefecture were peasant soldiers.
Those who had only been trained for three or two months, without advanced firearms, were not much better than the regular army whose combat effectiveness was completely inferior to the important towns of the Ming army.
Zhang Ning was not optimistic about how long Changde Mansion could be kept.
In addition, if the main force of the Zhuque Army, which had already advanced to the west bank of the Xiang River, had to go back to Changde immediately after the war, it would have traveled more than 600 miles back and forth; at that time, it was immediately put into hard battles, and it would be unlikely whether it could fight against the 50,000 army, including more than 10,000 cavalry units.
The Vermilion Bird Army has not many horses, and the infantry marching basically depends on both feet, and it is not as simple as walking. The individual soldiers' clothing, armor, weapons, dry food, and ammunition weigh dozens of kilograms in total, so marching is not an easy task.
At this time, Zhang Ning even began to question whether the Senate strategy he finally decided on was wise?
In fact, as long as the official army's reaction is a little relaxed, perhaps Zhu Heng's strategy is likely to be successful... Yu Qian Ah Yu Qian.I really want to stab you to death with one knife!
Zhang Ning looked down and saw that there were many footprints on the ground, perhaps some of which were left by Yu Qian.
Somehow he imagined that there was a young man in red official uniform standing in front of him. Perhaps this person's face was mature and older now...
Zhang Ning asked silently: You are just a civil servant. If you are a good official, you will have a future. What kind of battle will you fight in Huguang?
Even if the emperor likes you, will you solve it if you don’t know the soldiers?
What are the benefits of coming to Huguang to fight? Do you want to pass military merits and be awarded the title of Marquis and Earl after the Jinshi exam?
Yu Qian: I am living and working in peace and contentment for the people of the world. Only by eliminating turmoil and restoring centralization can we be peaceful. This is the current trend. You are going against the will of heaven, stop!
Zhang Ning: I knew you would say that.
Yu Qian: As expected, the opponent understands me the best, and many people don’t believe me.
Zhang Ning: But in my opinion, you are just self-righteous and thinking that a person is the savior?
Is it true that you did this?
Jianwen was not only the eldest grandson of Taizu, but also the monarch who passed the throne personally. The family of King Yàn Zhu Di, was usurping the throne no matter what. You are helping a person who usurped the throne. What is in line with the etiquette and law?
Yu Qian: Things have been gone before. If you return to your heart and re-establish the rules and regulations, you will no longer be killed or injured and injured to settle the grievances of the royal family.The world is the world of the world, not the world of one person.
Zhang Ning: Okay, let’s put aside our etiquette and law for the time being, and we won’t talk about the past, just talk about the future.
The transmission of King Yàn to Xuande may have allowed the world to gain temporary peace, but with such a trend of governing the country, can the Ming Dynasty be protected for a long time?
If I could take power, I would definitely make the Ming Dynasty stronger; when the Central Plains dynasty was strong, we did not work hard to govern, but were content with pleasure and not enterprising. Should we leave disasters and weakness to future generations?
Yu Qian: If you think you are self-righteous, that's fine.But you really raised your army for this?Are you afraid that it is more because of your ambition and desire alone?
Zhang Ning: You saw through it...
Prince.A reminder made Zhang Ning feel like he woke up from a dream.
Only then did he realize that the sky was dim, and fire was lit on the road at the foot of the mountain, and thousands of people gathered together as if they were having a grand party.
He pulled out the sword from his waist. Although this brand new sword was not able to kill the enemy and dominate it as a decoration, it still had a steel cold front.
Zhang Ning raised the sword and pointed it forward.
The generals and guards watched his actions silently. When a person has power, he has freedom. He can do whatever he wants, and no one can care about it.
...There were less than two thousand soldiers in the Suzaku Army's Horse Corps, which was relatively flexible. When they rushed back to Changde City, the cavalry on the North Road of the Official Army had not yet approached, but it was not far away.
The brigade of cavalry marched straight from the southern part of Changde City, and you could see smoke and dust everywhere from afar. The city gate was closed and the martial law was already on the verge of martial law.
When the army arrived at the city, they saw battle flags erected on the city tower and many soldiers stood.
Feng Youxian immediately stepped forward and shouted to the city: The king is back, open the door to greet him!
The generals in the city looked there for a while, and confirmed that they were his family, so they ordered the door to be opened.The dusty cavalry quickly entered one after another, and the iron hooves rumbled on the ground.
Zhang Ning rode his horse to the intersection of the Cross Street and saw the officials led by Xu Guangcai bowing on the road.
Zhang Ning jumped off the horse, took off the iron helmet with his neck pressed on his head and threw it to his personal soldiers, turned to Feng Youxian and said: The Horse Corps is disbanded, you can take the troops back to the camp for a while.
Feng Youxian said: I’ll get the order.
When the prince returned, the old minister felt relieved.Lao Xu walked up to him and said.
Zhang Ning asked: What is the distance between the vanguard of the government army?
Old Xu pondered for a moment and said: At this time, it may only be forty or fifty miles. If he keeps working hard, he will be able to reach the north city tomorrow. The old minister has passed the order from the Senate Department and ordered the defenders of each unit to reorganize their troops to prepare for war.
Let’s go to the Armory Bureau Arsenal first.Zhang Ning looked around, where is the horse lift?
He should still be in the Weapons Bureau.Lao Xu replied.
Zhang Ning said: Let’s go first and send someone to inform Ma Tiju.
He didn't stop and then got on his horse again, and headed straight for the weapons arsenal of Xicheng with Lao Xu and several other officials.
A while ago, the Weapons Bureau spent a lot of military expenses to cast a new batch of field long-barrel cannons. The test cannons eliminated those with internal injuries, and the remaining 18 finished products were totaled.
After it is cast, it has not been used in the arsenal yet, just like the new one.
However, you can smell a scent of nitrate at the muzzle, which is only left when the gun is tested.
Zhang Ning touched the cold iron on the cannon barrel with his hand, feeling indescribable.
The cold long cannon is like life, and it contains huge power.
They are unique divine weapons in the fifteenth century, sharp swords that should not have existed in this era.
However, swords can hurt others and yourself.Zhang Ning was extremely careful that this batch of artillery fell into the hands of the official army, especially in Yu Qian's hands.
It can be imagined that when they roared at the Suzaku Army camp, the huge shells with initial velocity could directly penetrate the depth of the square formation. Once the square formation was broken, a large team of horses roared and rushed over...
Zhang Ning felt that the little capital he could not bear to bear the blow for a few times.
Blasted!Mati, you immediately gather people to blow them up.Zhang Ning said coldly.
What...what?Ma Dapeng was stunned.Zhang Ning spoke clearly, and he must have heard it clearly.
So Zhang Ning just looked at him and stopped repeating.Shaoqing Ma Dapeng solemnly clasped his fists and said: Yes, the lower officials immediately rushed to blow up the 18 pieces of artillery.
Be quick.Zhang Ning also said that all drawings, files, rosters and large tools that cannot be taken away were destroyed.Before dark, gathered personnel and gathered to get out of the city.
yes.Ma Dapeng said.He may have understood the reason for doing so, and it is no secret that a large number of officers and soldiers approached Changde City.
After arranging the weapons bureau, Zhang Ning began to ask about defending the city. Obviously, in his opinion, throwing away the field cannon is more important than losing Changde City.
Perhaps Feng Youxian's cavalry regiment should not be arranged to defend the city. The entire Suzaku Army was not good at defending the city, and the cavalry was even worse. Instead of taking away the horses of the cavalry and letting them go to the wall, it would be better to put them on the periphery and look for an aircraft to attack and harass the enemy and support the defenders.
Now Zhang Ning wants to choose a commander who defends the city. He has no intention of staying in the city and being surrounded, which is meaningless.
Changde City must also try to defend as much as possible, otherwise our army's main force will not even have a barrier in the northwest. We can defend as long as we can, and we will gain some opportunity for the army.
At this moment, Lao Xu said: The old minister asked to stay and preside over the city.The old minister also led the troops, mainly in the defenders, and could suppress those generals.
The Yuelu Mountain Battle has not yet ended, and it will be handed over to Zhu Heng and Zhou Mengxiong, who will be in charge of strategic decision-making and Zhou Mengxiong will be in charge of military power. I believe that there is nothing worse than Zhang Ning in terms of combat.

How could she do a big thing like this?
Even Zhou Mengxiong didn't mention his daughter at all, as if a woman was an irrelevant existence in the overall situation.
However, if Zhang Ningshe really wants to do it, he probably can't do it. He believes that he has not reached that level yet. Instead of constantly suffering painful psychological torture for his past losses in the rest of his life in the future, it is better to cherish it now.
