Chapter 509: Going to the Battle

8days ago Historical fiction 7
In the third year of Xuande and the 32nd year of Jianwen, in July, the gongs and drums in Wuchang City were loud and the sound of horns roared. Today is neither a festival nor a national ritual.

Today is Emperor Jianwen personally led the expedition, restoring the Ming Dynasty and practicing the expedition to the old capital.

The eunuch next to Jianwen on the altar read the manifesto to fight against rebellion, and then Jianwen prayed to the heaven for the blessing of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are many civil and military officials on both sides of the stage. The civil officials are seeing off, and the military officials are ready to set off on horseback.

On the other side, some of the families of the officials who went to the expedition were. Zhang Fan was wearing a military uniform. Although he had no force, he still added a military officer. He looked around and saw Er Niang, Fang Ling and other women who were seeing him off with the rain.

But she didn't see the figure of missing her. Early this morning, she sent someone to tell Zhang Fan that she had a cold yesterday and was inconvenient to see him off. She thought maybe she was really angry this time.

It was already noon after the process was completed, and the entire army headed towards Nanjing in a mighty manner.

This time, he gathered nearly 100,000 elite combat power and transferred almost all the troops that could be called in the Huguang area. All that remained was the troops that could barely defend the city.

He knew Xuande's arrangements, but he believed that people like Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi could not succeed, and they all depended on their own and Xuande's ending.

If he can threaten him today, only Xuande. If he takes over Nanjing, these people surrender without fighting. If he can't take over, they will probably not have a chance to be destroyed by Xuande. So he is gambled for his life, and it is not the first time anyway.

The first obstacle to advancing east was the Poyang defenders. Zhang Fan divided the troops into two groups, 30,000 navy troops, with large ships, naval guns, and the Nanjing Navy was the vanguard. He met for a while, and the other 70,000 were the army and marched slowly, and cooperated with the navy.

The navy vanguard generals were responsible for training before. Zhao Hu's cousin Zhu Guangyang, Zhu Guangyang, is also a powerful figure. His soldiers are all elite in modern training methods, and their military discipline is very good.

Combined with the precise method of shooting in detail by Zhang Fan, he is full of confidence.

When we arrived at the military camp by the Poyang Lake, the 10,000 defenders there were already suppressed by Zhu Guangyang's navy momentum before they met, and their morale was already sluggish.

Zhu Guangyang fired a fire with an order, and suddenly the people were on their backs and countless casualties were killed or injured.

When there were too many people and few people, the ship would be docked, and the defenders would throw away their armor. The general had long known when he died in which corner.

This vanguard fought very beautifully in the first battle, and brought out the reputation of the Hunan Army's artillery navy.

The good news came to Zhang Fan's central army tent, and all the generals said good things.

But this is just a cannon fodder force of the pseudo-DPRK, and to a large extent it is just a test of our strength.At this time, the only one who dares to pour cold water on Zhang Fan’s father-in-law Zhou Mengxiong may be the only one who dares to pour cold water on.

Zhang Fan also felt that he should not be too optimistic. After all, there were too many people and few people beat him. Poyang was a territory abandoned by the pseudo-dynasty, but he only drew scattered soldiers from the surrounding areas and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled who were left in the previous Jiujiang Battle.

……

On the Xuande court, they also received news that Emperor Jianwen was personally leading the army to fight against the countermeasures in the court.

Yang Rong, one of the three Yangs, immediately stood up, and the rebels came out in full swing. The old minister thought he could strengthen his walls and clear the fields and defend Nanjing to the death. He sent people to urge the official troops of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi to accelerate the advance to threaten their foundation. At that time, the rebels could not conquer for a long time, and people would be shaken and pursue them again, and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.

After Yang Rong was defeated in the British Palace, he had already become the leader of all military officers.

Yang Shoufu's words were very bad. At last, he thought that the government troops in the south were useless and it was not advisable to place their hopes in vague places.The court should send more troops on the Yangtze River to annihilate the rebel naval army in one fell swoop, and then attack the rebel leader on land and land. At that time, the rebels can be settled.

The speaker was a young general named Gao Zhen, who was already the governor of the Shandong Navy. He got the exam and killed the Japanese pirates on the coast step by step. He was drawn from Shandong this time and was trying to achieve unparalleled achievements.

He did not respect Yang Rong so much because he was not in the court. He was caused by a radical person's long-term suppression of Japanese pirates, so he said it directly.

Could it be that General Gao didn’t know that the rebellion became famous in the Battle of Poyang a few days ago and wanted to use our army’s bodies to test the rebel’s firepower?

As soon as Gao Zhen finished speaking, a civil servant refuted him. Military generals have always disliked civil servants. After all, one is holding his neck to get a salary, and the other is verbally speaking, it is impossible for a radical faction like Gao Zhen to respect civil servants. In his opinion, those who say such words are scared to death.

Then he defended his reputation as the Navy of Ming Dynasty, since Emperor Chengzu, became famous overseas, and the four barbarians surrendered. Even if the thief was a powerful man, wouldn't our ship be strong?Lord Song, don’t want others to be prestigious. Previously, the Poyang Navy was just a thief who fought with more and more, and the strong men bullied the elderly and the weak.

The civil servant named Song felt a strong sense of sarcasm when he heard this, but he didn't say much about it. After all, the decision was still in the hands of the emperor.

Seeing this, Gao Zhen returned to the queue to play. After presenting his views, he felt proud.

Xuande did not make things difficult for him when he saw this. It was rare that there were people in the court who were not afraid of Zhang Fan. Although he looked a little arrogant, he was still very satisfied.

Do you have any other good ideas?

The last general agrees with Lord Yang's point of view and waits for the opportunity of the bandits to retreat to give a fatal blow.However, the general thought that this was not enough, and the bandits might not be able to be wiped out.The last general is willing to bring two thousand Jingqi cavalry to ambush outside the city, and wait for the opportunity to capture Jianwen when the bandits move in full swing or flee in a panic. At that time, Jianwen can threaten Jianwen to attack the city and will be able to directly attack Huanglong. In addition, the last general can also carry Jingqi cavalry to spy on the information in time.

The person who spoke was Yang Yu, the second son of Yang Pu, among the three Yangs. This general was young and had a great face. Although he was not as famous as Gao Zhen, he was also quite influenced by his father's name.

Xuande felt that he said it very well, and the situation would be different after capturing Jianwen, so he agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll give you five thousand, and I must capture Jianwen alive."

However, the speeches of these people made Xuan De feel full of confidence and was as if he had won the victory. He ordered the handling of the work afterwards.

My dear friends, you have other ideas.

In this case, Shoufu Yang, you are responsible for the work of defending the city in Nanjing, and you must not wait for the riots to come out of trouble behind the bandits.Gao Zhen, you are holding the navy on the Yangtze River to wait for an opportunity to kill the enemy, don’t force yourself.

Although Gao Zhen wanted the emperor to give more troops to fight, he did not win in the end, because the original policy was that the navy would also be on the defensive position, but today the emperor had already allowed himself to do so, which was a great opportunity.

yes!Everyone spoke with each other and took the order.
