Chapter 1627 Don’t cry until you see the coffin(1/2)
Everyone knows how powerful the Anxi Army is.
After the northwest catastrophe broke out, one hundred thousand Anxi troops went to the northwest. At that time, they were still a new army.
After the war, only 20,000 of the 100,000 Anxi Army remained. Those who survived and were able to fight became the most powerful warriors.
The Zhenbei Army is known as the strongest cavalry, and the Anxi Army is known as the strongest infantry.
At the end of the war, the Anxi Army rested and reorganized in Beijing.
The possibility of being sent is very high.
Fang Jie spoke again: "And I heard that Guan Ning's cavalry is also back."
Guan Ning cavalry?
While everyone was silent, their expressions changed drastically.
This army named after His Majesty has a very special status in Daning, and it is an army composed entirely of foreign races.
There is no doubt about their power, and their whereabouts are also quite secretive.
The Guan Ning cavalry only obeyed the orders of Emperor Daning, not even the military orders of Tiance Mansion.
Wen Xu hurriedly asked: "Is it true or false?"
"It should be true."
Fang Chi said: "I heard that His Majesty secretly recalled you. This is also the news I got recently."
Lu Zhengyuan frowned slightly, why hadn't he heard of it?
Hu Biao is in the Ministry of War and knows this information. Guan Ning's cavalry is still in Liang State. Why did Fang Jiehui say this?
Lu Zhengyuan was slightly startled.
He has a bold idea. The only one who won't really rebel is Wen Xu himself, right?
Not counting Dong Zheng, he ransacked homes everywhere and was a hero of the imperial court.
"What if His Majesty goes on a personal expedition?"
Fang Jie said again
"Can our army resist?"
"King Zhennan, will your Zhennan army still listen to your command by then?"
Dong Zheng's expression changed drastically.
This is really not guaranteed.
You must know that when the Nanfu Army was first established, there were some generals of the Zhenbei Army among them.
Of the 50,000 Nanfu troops, 30,000 were transferred to the front line. The reason why the rest followed Dong Zheng in rebellion was because they wanted to go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds but were dissatisfied that they had no chance.
Why can they leave but we can't?
Dong Zheng was very aware of His Majesty's prestige in the army, and he shouted loudly. Now that the Emperor appeared in front of him, he could immediately collapse to the ground.
"What does King Huainan mean?"
Wen Xu asked directly. He was a little dissatisfied with the other party. Although what he said was true, he couldn't say it directly. Wouldn't this demoralize him?
"I mean to pay the autumn tax."
"No, absolutely not!"
Wen Xu shook his head directly.
"If I can't hand it over, how much infamy will I bear?"
Dong Zheng also jumped to his feet anxiously.
"Don't you know that the reason why the imperial court has not sent troops yet is because His Majesty is too lazy to pay attention to us, not because we think we are powerful!"
Fang Chi stood up.
"Even the Emperors of Liang and Wei came thousands of miles away to seek peace. How can we say that our Southern Dynasty, which is in internal chaos, can be stronger than Liang?"
"madness!"
This was the first time that Fang Chi said such harsh words, which frightened the sleeping puppet emperor into waking up.
Wen Xu took a deep breath and asked: "Then as King Huainan said, we can just go to the capital and wait to be beheaded, so why bother?"
"Now the focus of the imperial court is outside. His Majesty has already said that he will go out to reward the soldiers. We can pay the autumn tax first, and your Majesty will not pay attention to us for the time being. After that, the Southern Dynasty can regain stability. The economy will be better under the rule of Mr. Lu, and the army can be trained.
Then you will be more confident."
"What King Huainan said is absolutely true."
Lu Zhengyuan immediately agreed.
He felt more and more that Fang Jie was one of his own.
"Rebellion is always a matter of raising your head, let alone something you can be sure of. Please, King Huainan, please stop saying such things."
Wen Xu was very determined.
"good!"
Fang Chi said: "I will lead the Southern Dynasty army to defend Zhenjiang, and also ask the King of Zhennan to guard against the invasion of Daning Navy."
Dong Zheng asked: "Didn't you send someone with heavy gifts?"
"Is it possible to win over the Daning Navy with great gifts?"
Fang Chi asked back: "You don't know where the Daning Navy came from, right? Now the Yuanwu cannon is no secret. Where did the Yuanwu cannons installed on the warships of the Daning Navy come from?"
"By the way, I forgot to mention just now that we have to face the Shenji Battalion."
"Shenji Camp?"
Some people present were confused. This was the first time they heard this title.
"You know, Dong Zheng."
Dong Zheng remained silent. He was the general of the Nanfu Army, so he naturally knew about the existence of the Shenji Battalion. Apart from His Majesty, no one knew how powerful the weapons of the Shenji Battalion were.
"If you have to fight, you have to fight."
Wen Xu said: "We have no retreat."
Dong Zheng was hesitant, but when he thought about the money and food, he was reluctant to part with it.
It's easy to turn it over, but it's difficult to put it away again.
"Let's fight, we have no retreat."
"good!"
After Fang Chi finished it, these people really couldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin.
"Report!"
At this moment, there was a rushing sound outside.
An official ran in panic carrying his robe.
"Oh no, the Daning Navy has already set off from Huizhou, saying that it is here to collect the autumn tax on His Majesty's orders, and also promised to give way to all boats crossing the river..."
Retribution comes so quickly.
Lu Zhengyuan sneered inwardly.
In fact, they should be prepared. They had heard earlier that His Majesty would give Sun Pusheng a secret order.
But they still put their hope in Fang Chi.
"Are you coming back to us?"
Fu Xing'an, who had spoken before, subconsciously asked.
Fang Chi shook his head and said: "I never received a reply from Sun Pusheng."
"hateful!"
Wen Xu's face was gloomy.
But he knew that in order to win over Sun Pusheng and the others, they spent a lot of blood and gave away many things, but with no results.
"what to do?"
"The Daning Navy is coming!"
The originally normal atmosphere immediately changed.
Everyone present became nervous without exception.
After all, how can you not be afraid when you are really facing it?
Daning Navy is dispatched!
It takes at most half a month to come to Jiangzhou from Huizhou, where we are based.
To be continued...
