Daming Junior Scholar

Xue Yi took the letter, browsed it quickly, and learned that King Ning only sent 2 troops back to Nanchang, and the rest disappeared, he smiled disdainfully: "If they were on land, they would be There are so many people, we let him three points, but when we are on the water, no matter whether it is in the sea or in the river, we will not be afraid of him, raise troops for a thousand days, and use them for a while, Mr. He, you just give orders."

"Okay." He Jiaan stood up slowly with a fierce look on his face, looked at the broad Yangtze River, and ordered loudly: "It's a good thing that King Ning has many people, and it's also a bad thing. Why are so many people trying to hide?" It's easy, now send people to start searching along the Yangtze River, where there are many people and boats along the river, report back to me immediately."

"Yes." The scout behind him responded, and not long after, dozens of small boats left the pier and scattered along both sides of the Yangtze River.

The final decisive battle is just around the corner, and He Jia'an led the generals to rest at the pier. While the generals were waiting for news from the scouts, an unexpected person suddenly came to the pier.

As Nanjing's defense, Xu Pengju should have sat where He Jiaan was sitting now, but he was used to being timid. Since He Jiaan came in person, he didn't even intend to be polite, so he obediently shrank back into Nanjing City.

This time when we arrived at the pier, He Jiaan was somewhat unexpected.

The place where He Jiaan sat was originally a big restaurant that survived by the pier, but after the pier was blocked, he had no business, and He Jiaan threw a few big silver coins in front of him, and immediately sealed the restaurant honestly , only entertain the navy.

He Jiaan met Xu Pengju on the top floor of the restaurant.

"Why did the prince come here in such a hurry?" He Jiaan was a little surprised. When he said this, there was a bit of disdain on his face. After all, the Xu family also made a considerable contribution to Daming's success. The family is not as good as the previous generation, and Xu Pengju's generation has lost even the courage to fight.

I don't know if the first Wei Guogong would jump out of the grave if he knew that his descendants were so unfilial.

Xu Pengju himself knew that he might have no status in He Jiaan's eyes, so he smiled embarrassingly, and then said in a low voice: "Master He, Your Majesty has an order."

"Oh?" He Jiaan was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What did the emperor say?"

"This..." Probably Xu Pengju also realized that some things cannot be said in front of everyone. He looked at the people on the left and right in embarrassment. Just say something."

"Cough." Xu Pengju coughed dryly again, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has a decree that the rebellious army will arrive soon, ordering all the officers and soldiers along the Yangtze River not to go out to fight, and wait for my arrival."

"What did you say?" When He Jia'an heard this, his heart became full of anger. Did he hear it wrong or did Zhengde go crazy?What did he think of the war?Is it child's play or a child playing house, if you say you don't want to fight, you don't fight, if you say you don't want to fight, you don't want to fight. Does it mean that when King Ning comes to fight, you have to be beaten without moving?

Thinking of this, He Jiaan's face turned dark, and he snorted coldly: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, I don't have to fight, but what should I do if King Ning fights over? Could it be that my tens of thousands of troops just stay here? Can't you be beaten on the shore?"

Xu Pengju didn't have any objection to Zhengde's order in his heart, but Zhengde's order was exactly what he wanted. As long as he closed the city gate and waited honestly for Zhengde's arrival, it would be a great achievement, so why not do it? ?

Seeing that He Jiaan was so angry, he became a little flustered, and quickly persuaded: "Lord He calm down, in fact, you don't have to be so angry, since your majesty has already given orders, why don't you let your people follow me to the city of Nanjing , It will take less than three or four days for His Majesty's army to arrive here, and then there will be time for a life-and-death showdown with the rebels."

"Hmph, it's too late." Seeing Xu Pengju's useless look, He Jia'an also became ruthless. He glared at Xu Pengju and scolded: "It's not that the emperor's soldiers don't understand the situation here, don't you?" Do you know? You are a dignified Nanjing garrison, and you are not counting on you to put down the rebels, but at least you must keep Nanjing without losing it."

He Jiaan became more and more angry with his scolding, stood up abruptly, slapped his palms on the table, and said angrily: "You don't guard the great Yangtze River, but you guard Nanjing. Do you know how many Franc cannons King Ning has in his hand?" ? As long as his ship docks, all the guns will be fired, not to mention you are hiding in Nanjing, even if you run to the capital, you will no longer be able to stop King Ning's army."

After He Jiaan scolded him head and face, Xu Pengju was completely dumbfounded. His fair and fat face suddenly turned red like a boiled crab. After all, he was Wei Guogong, the prince of Daming, how could he be trained like a He Jiaan? Like a grandson?

What made me feel even more ashamed was that He Jiaan scolded him without fault, but he didn't even dare to say a word back.

After scolding, He Jiaan finally let out his breath, and snorted coldly to himself: "The prince is delicate and fleshy, so there is no problem staying in the city. We are just big soldiers. If we die, we will die. It's no big deal. Please invite the prince Go back and tell the emperor that I, He Jiaan, have secured the defense line of the Yangtze River, as long as I find King Ning's whereabouts, I will definitely not miss it."

As if echoing what He Jiaan said, as soon as his own voice fell, there was a rush of footsteps downstairs, and after a while, a scout appeared in sight and said loudly: "My lord, the rebels have been found whereabouts."

"Hehe..." He Jia'an looked at Xu Pengju and said with a smile, "Have you heard, my lord? The war is about to start."

Chapter 1519

Chapter 1519

"My lord, you can't send troops. The emperor will be here soon, and it won't be too late to send troops."

Xu Pengju was about to go crazy, he was a majestic prince, and now he was no different from his grandson, standing in front of He Jiaan to persuade him, hoping that he would take back the order to send troops.

The expression on He Jiaan's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes pierced Xu Pengju like lightning, and he scolded in a low voice: "My lord, do you know what you are doing? The great opportunity will be missed immediately because of your obstruction. If you can't kill King Ning If your army stops on the Yangtze River, then your city of Nanjing will be flattened by King Ning's artillery."

Flattening Nanjing, rebuilding at worst, but not listening to the emperor's words, that can be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, not to mention the emperor has personally brought the news to himself, if he can't stop He Jiaan, I am afraid that it will be the first time that he will be questioned.

"Lord He, you wait another three days, and the emperor's army will arrive in just three days, even if Xiao Wang begs you, can't you?"

He Jiaan looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, with a trace of desolation in his voice: "My lord, please get up, you only have your emperor and your hat in your eyes, why don't you open your eyes and take a look, there are millions of ordinary people in Nanjing City What? Today's battle is not something you say you won't fight, I must fight this battle."

After finishing speaking, He Jia'an didn't care so much, he pushed Xu Pengju aside as soon as he stretched out his hand, walked downstairs with strides, and immediately summoned all the generals to board the boat, ready to face the battle.

"It's over, it's all over." Xu Pengju staggered up from the restaurant, saw He Jiaan's figure had disappeared on the warship, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Anyway, I have already made up my mind, and now I am not afraid of not offending Zhengde. I vaguely remember that in the real history, King Ning was one step ahead of Zhengde and captured King Ning. Jue, later became a generation of thinkers.

What's more, I have already found a way out, if Zhengde really dared to attack him, he would leave here early.

After getting on the warship, news from all parties came together. Not only did the scouts find the whereabouts of the rebels on the opposite side of Nanjing, but also many ships from upstream and downstream were approaching one after another, which should be in a large-scale assembly.

When the assembly is complete, it should be time for King Ning to launch an attack.

With an army of nearly 20 people, if one ship holds 100 people, there must be nearly 100 ships. Although I have prepared for so many years, there are only more than [-] warships. When I think that I have to face so many enemies At that time, the pressure on He Jiaan was not the slightest bit.

After hearing the news, Xue Yi was not as high-spirited as before. He stared at the map for a long time, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes: "My lord, why don't we just rush into the other party's fleet, find King Ning's ship, and directly bombard it?" Forget it, when King Ning dies, his subordinates will definitely not have the strength to fight, and there will be time to turn around and clean up when the time comes."

It's easy to think, but not so easy to do.

He Jiaan smiled wryly: "General Xue has a good idea, but if you think about it carefully, there are a total of [-] ships on the other side. Among so many ships, how can you tell which ship King Ning is on? Besides, King Ning’s boat also has cannons, I’m afraid we will be blasted into the river before we get close.”

"Then... what should I do?" Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, losing his mind.

He Jia'an thought for a while and said, "King Ning is very powerful, but it is not an easy task to gather nearly [-] ships. I have an idea."

"What idea?" Xue Yi's expression brightened.

"General Xue, have you ever heard the story of burning Chibi?" He Jiaan said mysteriously.

"Ah?" Xue Yi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Could it be that Mr. He wants to set fire?"

He Jiaan nodded slowly, and then said: "Of course, we can't copy Zhou Lang's ingenious plan completely, we can only use another method. Now King Ning is gathering ships. I'm afraid it won't work well in a few days. Why don't we Just take this opportunity..."

The sound in the cabin became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible. After a while, Xue Yi came out of the cabin with a serious face. Leading the warships out of the dock one after another, they clearly sailed to both sides.

This is a day worth remembering for the rest of my life. Since Huyanzhai was burned down by He Jiaan, I have been living under the fence and living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. However, from today on, I will reappear on the Yangtze River, and my name will also be honored. It will spread throughout Daming with King Ning's army, and I want them to remember that my name is Zhang Xuanling.

The former owner of the Huyan Village is now just an ordinary guerrilla general. He is said to be a guerrilla general, but there are only more than 100 people under his command, which can't even compare to what Huyan Village used to be. The easiest boat to maneuver.

It must be a lie to say that there is no complaint in my heart. Seeing that those bandits who rebelled together have now become King Ning's guests, can I not be jealous in my heart? But who made that damn Yue Zhongqi bear it? Those who are so powerful can bury their Huyan village, otherwise, maybe they can become a high-ranking official.

It is useless to say these now, Zhang Xuanling estimated the distance, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the meeting place before dark, if I delay for a day, maybe I will be scolded again.

Unhappy in his heart, Zhang Xuanling took his anger out on his subordinates, and cursed bitterly: "What's the matter if you haven't eaten enough, why don't you hurry up, if you delay the emperor's important event, you have to take your heads to sacrificial knives!" OK."

Having said that, the speed of the fleet is really faster, just when Henry Zhang was doing nothing and was about to enter the cabin to rest for a while, someone suddenly pointed forward: "Brother, look quickly, there is a ship coming. "

This is the Yangtze River, so it's rare for a boat to come over. Zhang Xuanling looked up, and didn't think it was a big deal at first. Unexpectedly, when he saw the other party's boat, he was suddenly taken aback, and then he was in the same place. in a stagnant state.

I have seen such a strange boat once, and it haunts me like a nightmare, and I can think of it from time to time. I thought I would forget it, but unexpectedly I encountered this strange boat again on the Yangtze River .

Thinking of the artillery on the strange ship, Henry Zhang felt chills all over, and quickly shouted: "Dock, dock."

What can I do when I am docked, but run quickly, I am not a fool who is head-to-head, not to mention that the dozens of boats I am carrying are all empty, and I have no strength to fight.
