There was no place to talk outside the camp gate. Seeing them like this, Yang Zhen couldn't say anything more. He nodded at the two of them and then turned his attention to the other people waiting to greet them.

At this time, Yang Zhen saw deputy general Yu Liangtai kneeling on one knee beside and behind Zu Keyong. He raised his head and raised his hand to him and said:

"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief for your humble position, congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief! The Commander-in-Chief's great achievements have already surpassed that of Marshal Mao of Dongjiang! It is a great honor for me to hold such a humble title!"

It turned out that when Yu Liangtai saw Yang Zhen looking at him, he immediately performed the courtesy of a subordinate meeting the superior, and at the same time sent his own congratulatory words like others.

Yu Liangtai was born in Dongjiang. Before he met Yang Zhen and joined Yang Zhen, the person he admired most was Mao Wenlong.

Therefore, after getting to know Yang Zhen and joining him, he always compared Yang Zhen with Mao Wenlong, the then Dongjiang coach.

Including the various suggestions he made to Yang Zhen, he always used Mao Wenlong's various actions as a reference, hoping that Yang Zhen could follow suit.

For example, in the matter of attacking Zhenjiang Castle, the reason why Yu Liangtai supported Yang Zhen's extremely risky decision was largely because Mao Wenlong had also done this before.

Of course, Mao Wenlong captured the Zhenjiang Fort with the help of the inner city. Although he became famous in one battle and became famous all over the world, they did not hold on for long after they captured the Zhenjiang Fort. In fact, they were quickly defeated by the then Hou Jin.

The army took it back.

In this regard, Yang Zhen captured the Zhenjiang Fort this time and held on for several months. In the end, he not only successfully repelled the army led by the Qing puppet emperor Huang Taiji, but also gained a lot. This situation far exceeded Mao Wenlong's so-called

The heroic feats are extraordinary.

Therefore, in Yu Liangtai's mind, Governor Yang Zhenyang, who had captured and defended Zhenjiang Fort at this time, had completely surpassed Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang at that time.

"You are exaggerating your praise. Compared with Marshal Mao back then, I am far behind the Commander-in-Chief!"

Although Yang Zhen thought in his heart that he had surpassed Mao Wenlong, he still couldn't do this in front of many former Dongjiang generals present.

After all, in the minds of the generals who came from the former Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong was like an ancestral god card and could not be easily desecrated.

As Yang Zhen spoke, he stepped forward with a smile and helped Yu Liangtai up, and then turned his attention to the person next to him who was kneeling on one knee to greet him.

One of them was Lin Qingye, whom Yang Zhen was already familiar with, while the other, a stocky middle-aged man, looked very unfamiliar.

I saw him wearing a strange warm hat on his head, his temples cleanly shaved, kneeling behind Lin Qingye, looking at Yang Zhen with bright eyes.

"Tongyu Lin, who is this?"

Lin Qingye had also not seen Yang Zhen for several months, and he felt quite regretful that he was not able to participate in the defense battle of Zhenjiang Castle.

At this time, he listened to other people's complimentary words about Yang Zhen, and he also had a lot to say in his heart. However, just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yang Zhen's question.

"This -, this is An Wulun Anzuo Lang, who is under the command of Shen Bingpan. Oh no, he is a pedestrian sent by Marshal Shen Du from Pingluo City to meet the governor!"

"An Wulun? He's actually a visitor from Marshal Shendu's tent! Mr. Lin, please get up quickly. Mr. Anzuo Lang, please get up quickly!"

Yang Zhen knew the name An Wulun, but he had never seen it before, and the name didn't match up.

Now after listening to Lin Qingye's introduction, I went to see An Wulun again. I saw that he had a square face, a stocky figure, and looked powerful. However, I didn't expect that he was actually a civil servant of Zuo Lang, working as a passerby under the Shen Qiyuan tent. Duties.

Yang Zhen knew very well that the role of subordinates of a big shot in the establishment of a government was usually played by his confidants or confidants.

And the An Wulun in front of him is obviously like this. If he were not Shen Qiyuan's confidant, he might not dare to send him to his side to meet him.

Therefore, Yang Zhen was extremely polite to him both inside and outside his words.

"Anzuo Lang, this is the famous Governor Yang! You've always wanted to see him but couldn't, and now he's right in front of you, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects?"

Lin Qingye saw that Yang Zhen was very polite to An Wulun. At the same time, Yang Zhen's attention had turned to An Wulun. He also put away the polite words he had already spoken and turned to urge An Wulun. .

"In the tent of Marshal Shendu, I am passing by An Wulun to pay my respects to the Governor. Marshal Shendu heard the news about Zhenjiang Fort and sent me to congratulate the Governor on his repeated victories and the great victory of Zhenjiang Fort!"

"Haha, Marshal Shen is so polite. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. An, coming from afar. I have heard of you a long time ago. You are the brother of An Yingchang, the commander of the Zhongyi Gui Ming Army under my command. I am right. ?”

Facing An Wulun's visit, Yang Zhen accepted it calmly, then said these words to him, and then helped him up from the ground amid his incomprehensible surprise.

Similarly, after Yang Zhen helped An Wulun up, he immediately bent over and helped Lin Qingye up as well. At the same time, he praised him for leading the naval fleet to the mouth of the Qingchuan River and Pingluoxihai to support the evacuation of Shen Qicheng and others.

After Yang Zhen and the newcomers had finished greeting each other, the other generals who came after hearing the news were almost here, and they greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

An Yingchang, who was just mentioned by Yang Zhen, also came on horseback from the original Qinglu camp where a large number of imperial men, women and children were captured outside the west gate. He was surprised and happy to see his brother An Wulun. They asked each other about each other's situation.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zhen first sent Qiu Biyong, Ma Keqing and others to arrange the venue for the meeting. Then he shouted and said to everyone:

"Today, all the heroes of Zhenjiang Fort have gathered together to arrange the future regulations of this place. Please follow me to the meeting hall of the camp to discuss matters!"

When Yang Zhen shouted, the others immediately agreed.

Soon, the group followed Yang Zhen into the camp, and finally came to the second meeting hall, where they sat down in order of guest and host.

It was already noon, and Li Lu and Ma Keqing commanded the newly arrived maids and servants in the camp, and were busy serving hot tea and various kinds of food to the generals.

When the generals took a look, they knew that this discussion would probably not end in a short time, and that it must be of great importance, so they all were not polite and ate various dried meats and cakes one after another to fill their stomachs first.

When An Wulun saw this scene, he was a little surprised at first, but when he saw that Yang Zhen, like the generals, only had a bowl of hot tea and a mouthful of dry food for lunch, he once again looked at Yang Zhen with admiration.

"Mr. Shen, Commander Lin, and Mr. An, you have come all the way, so I should take care of you. However, things happen to happen today. Since everyone is here, we will discuss things first and then meet you. Please don't be offended! "

"What did Governor Yang say? Military affairs are important, business matters are important, and that's how it should be!"

"Yes, Governor, if one family doesn't talk to each other, business matters are more important!"

"The Governor is welcome!"

An Wulun attended the meeting as Shen Qiyuan's envoy, and was specially arranged by Yang Zhen to sit first on the right hand side of the conference hall.

Following closely behind were Shen Qicheng, Lin Qingye, Liu Lin, An Yingchang, and the newly surrendered Song Guofu and Shi Mingxiong.

Yang Zhen regarded the first few in the row on his right as guests from afar and treated them politely, making them both flattered and rejected.

As for the row on Yang Zhen's left, they are Zu Keyong, Qiu Zhenhai, Zhang Chen, Li Lu, Yu Liangtai, Yang Shen, Liu Zhongjin, Jin Yukui and others.

In addition, other middle and low-level generals, such as Zhang Guogan, Li Shouzhong, Pan Xi, Zhang Tianbao, Yu Haichao, Xu Tingxuan and others, guard the city head and the city gate, each with their own duties. Secretary, was not allowed to participate in this military meeting.

"Haha, in this case, I will not say polite words. In fact, I have long wanted to hold this military meeting to decide on all aspects of Zhenjiang Fort's defense as soon as possible."

When Yang Zhen said this, everyone suddenly looked solemn. Some people put down the tea bowls in their hands, and some people put down the pastries in their hands. They all sat upright with their chests raised and their heads raised.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen glanced at everyone, and then continued:

"Since September last year, the governor has left Lushunkou and led his troops to seize Zhenjiang Fort. So far, it has been more than four months since the battle was completed.

"At present, the Qing army has been defeated, Jierhalang has retreated to Phoenix City, and the siege of Zhenjiang Fort has been lifted. There is no sign that the Qing army will mobilize its army again to seize Zhenjiang Fort in the short term.

"Therefore, I have decided that after this military meeting is over and the defense around Zhenjiang Fort is arranged, I will leave Zhenjiang Fort before the end of the month at the latest and return to Lushunkou by land!"

Wow——

Although many generals present had already guessed this, when Yang Zhen personally announced the decision, everyone at the scene was still in an uproar.

"ah?"

"this--"

"Captain——"

Many people wanted to speak to Yang Zhen, but the result was that no one could finish what they wanted to say.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Zhen stopped and said nothing, just looking at everyone quietly.

As a result, the scene in the meeting hall soon became quiet again.

Facing the calm and powerful Yang Zhen, the generals who originally wanted to say something else swallowed all their questions.

Yang Zhen always makes decisions before taking action when doing things. Since he said such words today, it must be the result of careful consideration.

Although Yang Zhen may not necessarily take into account the issues that each of them worries about and considers, arrangements will definitely be made for major issues related to the defense around Zhenjiang Fort.

Otherwise, why would we have to wait until Zu Keyong, Yu Liangtai, Shen Qicheng, Lin Qingye, and Shen Qiyuan's confidant An Wulun came to Zhenjiang Fort to hold this military meeting?

When they realized this, the generals present quickly became quiet again. While thinking about the things about themselves, they quietly waited for Yang Zhen's explanation.

"I have called everyone together today just to arrange the things that need to be arranged and to solve the problems that need to be solved. Please be patient!"

Everyone knows that as the lord of Jinhai Town, Yang Zhen cannot stay in Zhenjiang Fort for a long time. It is quite rare to be able to persist in Zhenjiang Fort until now and stay for as long as four months. Normally speaking, it is quite rare.

After all, Zhenjiang Fort is far from the whole of Jinhai Town. Even before that, it was not the heart of Jinhai Town.

At least that's how it was viewed by many generals present.

Under such circumstances, Yang Zhen, the dignified Jin Haibo, the chief military officer of Jinhai Town, and the Zuo Governor of the Zuo Army Commandant, led his army to this place and stayed there for more than four months, completely destroying the rest of Jinhai Town.

Abandoned, no news for several months, completely lost contact, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be.
Chapter completed!
