The Vermilion Bird Army retreated thirty miles after truce and book.
Zhang Ning stood by Bali Lake. Looking around, it seemed like it had become a huge morgue.
The smoke of gunpowder has been blown away by the wind, and the blood has gradually cooled down, leaving only the corpses placed in their eyes.
People silently shuttled between the bodies, some soldiers in armor and some people recruited from nearby to help.
Many tents were also set up nearby. The bodies cleaned up will be carried into the tent. They will be washed with water first, then replaced with neat military dresses that were not worn by combat, placed some relics next to them, and then covered with red and black vermilion bird patterns in various battalions.
Some civilian officials set up cases to count the list of casualties and disabilities in each army, which is a systematic task.
After a period of time, the families of the fallen soldiers will receive the relics and pensions and land sent by the Ministry of War.
The body does not need to be transported back, so a cemetery is opened on the spot and a monument is erected; on the day of the burial, the family is allowed to be taken to Jiujiang to watch the ceremony.
Every soldier may die, so respecting the fallen ones today may be the same courtesy tomorrow.
Some people say that women often think about how to live, and men often think about how to die.Zhang Ning talked to Zhou Mengxiong next to him without a word.
Zhou Mengxiong did not speak. Perhaps in his eyes, he had done a little bit of a deal. Every fallen man was buried with a grand funeral, which was inevitable to increase the financial burden that was originally inadequate.
Anyway, this has not been done since ancient times. Horse leather and corpses are buried in bones and weeds, and it has always been the home of soldiers.
Sometimes Zhou Mengxiong felt that Zhang Ning was a bit polite, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this. Anyway, he was not in charge of the court's finances and taxes, so he never put forward any opinions.
Zhang Ning looked very tired, and his already dark eye sockets were now trapped in, with a pale complexion.
He said again as sad as spring and autumn: There is a book called "Hundred Years of Solitude" written in a passage, which roughly means that people often migrate, and the places where they settle down may not be their hometown, but as long as their relatives are buried on a piece of land, they can be called home.When the official army retreated, Jiujiang City returned to our army. So many soldiers were buried here. This territory can be called our hometown...
I wonder if Zhou Mengxiong understood Zhang Ning's emotions. He touched the bearded man on his chin and said: Zhang Fu agreed so readily to give up Jiujiang and retreat eastward. He must be considering leaving his strength to retain Nanjing.From ancient times to the present, there is no possibility of a long-term confrontation between the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There is no danger to defend the east and west, and sooner or later there will be a battle.If we take advantage of the situation to fight Nanjing, the situation will be really bigger.Zhang Fu has no chance of winning in Jiujiang and wants to shrink and recover his vitality first, but unfortunately we have no choice but to do so for the time being.
Zhang Ning gradually recovered from his low and sad mood due to fatigue, and asked quietly: What preparations should my father-in-law do if we think we are going east to Nanjing?
Zhou Mengxiong was very helpful to his name. His enthusiasm did not seem to have cooled down because of a big battle. After all, he was not the one who was surrounded by Jiujiang City for several months.Zhou Mengxiong said directly: There are only two things.First, Jiangxi was in good weather last year, and it was in a state where neither side could effectively control it. After the autumn harvest, the tax was collected less, or it might be stored in local treasury. The war was limited to a few prefectures along the river, so the local area would definitely be rich.We should step up control over Jiangxi, so that the army can eat locally, and while resting, it can reduce the burden on Huguang.
Second, although there is no natural danger on the east and west sides of the Yangtze River, if the naval army is strong, Poyang Lake will not be an obstacle. At the same time, it will be much easier for a large army to go down the river.During the Battle of Jiujiang, I felt the dilemma of being controlled by others on the water many times.Next we should expand the naval army, otherwise it would be wise to hand over the Yangtze River.
Zhang Ning nodded frequently when he heard this, looking very agreeable.
But I couldn't help but think: Yongding Camp suffered heavy losses, the soldiers were exhausted, the military was broken, and the family was all in Wuchang, Huguang, and now they have been fighting hard for several months, so they have been back to rest. The third battalion of the new army has not been in the army for a long time, and there are many people, so staying in Jiujiang to eat is in line with the strategic needs.
The area where the troops were deployed was natural, but once the third battalion of the new army stayed in Jiangxi, Zhou Mengxiong should also successfully station in Jiangxi.
Zhou Mengxiong is a military general, so he can only let him take charge of the military power in Jiangxi...
The question is, even if the Jiangxi governor was sent to manage this fertile territory and divide the power to manage government, finance and taxation, who can be competent?
Yu Qian’s talent in governing the local area is good, but can Yu Qian control Zhou Mengxiong?
Obviously not.
Zhou Mengxiong was a cabinet minister and one of the five major gangsters. He also had no great achievements in his career. He had all the achievements of defeating the strong and saving the boss on the battlefield, and his prestige was already very high.
Yu Qian didn't even enter the cabinet, and he had little qualifications here. He could be reused entirely because of Zhang Ning's preconceived concepts and personal appreciation of him.
If Yu Qian was the governor of Jiangxi, he would not be able to control Zhou Mengxiong at all. When Zhou Mengxiong was stationed in Jiangxi, he was like a decoration.
Zhou Mengxiong has an army of 60,000. If he occupy the prosperous prefectures and counties in Jiangxi and has long been in power, his strength seems to be too great.
Of course, the Zhu family had a marriage with him and other relationships, and Zhang Ning didn't believe that he would turn against him, but he was always a little uneasy...
It's entirely out of instinct.
Should we find a way to cure Zhou Mengxiong?
Zhang Ning remembered his desperate death in Jiujiang. Only Zhou Mengxiong was able to stand firm in every step, and unexpectedly won the Northern Line. He felt a little uncomfortable...
After all, there is no Zhou Mengxiong. If anyone with a slight lack of ability, no matter how loyal he is, he will have died once.
So after this great victory, Zhang Ning's tired heart did not relax, but instead pressed some shadows behind the glory.
I'm a little tired.
Zhang Ning turned around and Wei Bin, the Yongding Camp, and others said, "For the counting of casualties and other matters, please take care of the Futai. General Wei, please let the soldiers prepare for it. Let us go back to Wuchang for a few days off."
The two clasped their fists and said yes.Zhang Ning said goodbye to Zhou Mengxiong again and returned to Yongding Camp to rest.
Then Yu Qian and others had their own things to do and said goodbye to Zhou Mengxiong. In the end, only Zhou Mengxiong and a few generals of the staff were left to see the scenery on the north shore of Bali Lake.
The King of Xiang seemed a little unhappy.Liu Mazi stepped forward carefully and said.
Mazi, who is not good-looking, is actually a military general. He was Zhou Mengxiong's general more than 20 years ago, but he seems to have a much better sense of politics than his military talents.
When he was in Wuchang, Zhou Mengxiong insisted on not sending troops, so Liu Mazi made many comments.
Zhou Mengxiong said: The King of Xiang was not in high spirits because of physical and mental exhaustion.
After hearing this, Liu Mazi was inconvenient to say more, so he had to accompany him.Zhou Mengxiong had turned around and looked at the scenery on the Guangguang Bali Lake.The tall and burly body, the back is as powerful as a mountain.
A gust of wind blew Zhou Mengxiong's cloak like a flag. He held his hand on the sword, and for a while he had a bit more heroic spirit of awesme.
Zhou Mengxiong just faced the water without moving, and stood there like he had hit a stake, without moving in the cold wind.
Everyone behind the feet were numb, and they couldn't help but move slightly regardless of their awe. They didn't dare to disturb Zhou Mengxiong, and they didn't dare to say anything. They stood so stupidly for a long time until the night, and the boring feeling can be imagined.
When the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Mengxiong finally spoke: What do you think will happen to Zhang Fu after he returns to the court? Can the pseudo-emperor still use him?
Liu Mazi and others were speechless, and they were completely unprepared and could not answer for a while.Liu Mazi thought that Marshal Zhou was thinking about King Xiang, but he never expected that he would say something about Zhang Fu.
Zhu Mian, the commander of the Northern Army, was not good, so I used the recruits from the Third Battalion to make him unable to finish his meal, and only Zhang Fu was qualified.
Zhou Mengxiong turned around and Jiujiang rescued the siege. Zhang Fu was not defeated by me.
Liu Mazi hurriedly said: The general was like a god in his military service. He grabbed the key points in one fell swoop and suddenly cut off the key points of the Northwest Camp. In the end, he had the result of the annihilation of the Northwest Camp... However, the person who directly defeated the Datong Jingqi was indeed the King of Xiang.
Zhou Mengxiong shook his head and said: If Jiujiang City had not found Zhang Fu's deployment map quickly, I would have been surprised and it would have been difficult to cut off the Northwest Camp so easily.Furthermore, the Xiang King made Zhang Fu suffer a great loss, which was not because of his military use, but just a "fraud" and used excellent artillery to knock open the defense line of the Northwest Camp, which Zhang Fu did not expect.
Liu Mazi said: Whether or not to control fairness or not on the battlefield is to try every means. If you win, the king will be defeated and the enemy will be lost. If Zhang Fu loses, he will be lost.
Zhou Mengxiong smiled and said: That's true.
After saying that, he left the lakeside and walked straight towards Yongding Camp.After entering the military camp, he met the commander of the guard Li Zhen in the central army. Zhou Mengxiong asked: Can the King of Xiang be there?
Li Zhen said: The prince lay down at noon, and seemed to have not fallen asleep. This is the report.
After a while, Li Zhen came out to invite Zhou Mengxiong to the account.Zhou Mengxiong took the initiative to take off his sword, handed it to Li Zhen on the knife holder outside the tent, and then entered the account.
I saw Zhang Ning sitting on the chair in a bad mood while wearing a coat. While asking Zhou Mengxiong to sit, he said: I was in a mess in Jiujiang City. I was dizzy now, but I still couldn't sleep.Maybe I could only get in after returning to Wuchang, but the atmosphere on the battlefield was really wrong.
Zhou Mengxiong said: I still have some ideas to talk to the King of Xiang.
Zhang Ning said kindly: But it doesn’t matter.
Zhou Mengxiong said: At noon, I made some suggestions.One of them is to expand the training of the navy, but I know nothing about the navy and may not be able to handle the important task of commanding the army in Jiujiang, so I recommend that monk Yao lead the Jiujiang army and train the navy on the spot.The monk Yao and his son were in Yuezhou for more than a year and had established a fleet of ships with experience in all aspects. I think they are the most suitable ones.
Zhang Ning immediately owed his body, and seemed to be getting better, and hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is a little reasonable."However, the third battalion of the new army was governed by his father-in-law and won many victories in Jiangxi... Now that people suddenly change people, the soldiers may feel that this king's handling is unfair.
Zhou Mengxiong smiled heartily and said: This is my own plea, how can I blame King Xiang?Besides, from recruiting troops to raising military supplies, the third battalion of the new army was improved by several colleagues in the cabinet running day and night. Therefore, it almost emptied the treasury of more than ten prefectures in Huguang. This is the army of the court. When will it be the military power that I, Zhou Mengxiong, deserved?Whoever is the commander must be decided by the court. I don’t have to care about me, and I have no right to ask about it.
Zhang Ning suddenly became a little excited when he said that his father-in-law was very wise, and he was truly the pillar of the country and the father's left and right arm... In this way, when Yongdingying Camp was in charge, his father-in-law and I returned to Wuchang with the ministers of the cabinet and decided after a good decision.
Zhang Ning stood by Bali Lake. Looking around, it seemed like it had become a huge morgue.
The smoke of gunpowder has been blown away by the wind, and the blood has gradually cooled down, leaving only the corpses placed in their eyes.
People silently shuttled between the bodies, some soldiers in armor and some people recruited from nearby to help.
Many tents were also set up nearby. The bodies cleaned up will be carried into the tent. They will be washed with water first, then replaced with neat military dresses that were not worn by combat, placed some relics next to them, and then covered with red and black vermilion bird patterns in various battalions.
