Ma Jiyuan was surprised to see that Jiang Pengju came from the army. He thought Zhao Guodong could come!

"General Jiang, why didn't you Admiral Zhao come?" Ma Jiyuan was rescued by Jiang Pengju when he was running away in Xinyang, so he had a good impression of Jiang Pengju and spoke with the word "General".

Jiang Pengqiu bowed and replied, "Return to Master Taichung, Admiral Zhao is now on the front line of Yangzhou. Our 10th Division is a newly formed army. The firearms are not equipped enough, so the last will stay in Guazhou to wait for subsequent weapons and equipment! Today, he heard from Master Taichung that Guazhou's army has the highest position as the last general, so the last general is here!"

So that's the case. Zhao Guodong was in Yangzhou. Ma Jiyuan nodded without saying anything after hearing this.

More than ten minutes later, the central army outside the door entered the house and reported that the naval fleet admiral Zhang Liang was here.

Zhang Liang rushed over immediately after receiving the notice. He had dealt with Ma Jiyuan in Luzon and knew that this old guy was ruthless and unkind. As the emperor's direct descendant, the old guy was very tough in the background and he still couldn't afford to offend him.

After Zhang Liang entered the house, the highest officials in Guazhou were all here. The army had Jiang Pengju, the navy had Zhang Liang, and the local magistrate Zhang Juchang.

Ma Jiyuan looked at it and said, "All people are here. I am the governor who is in charge of the emperor's imperial edict and is in charge of Yangzhou. Now I will read out Your Majesty's decree!"

When Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang heard that it was the emperor's imperial edict, they did not dare to hesitate and quickly knelt down to receive the edict. At this time, Zhang Juchang had some small privileges. He was a Jinshi and did not have to kneel on the ground, just bow.

"By the will of heaven, the emperor's restraint, he is now ordered by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ma Jiyuan to supervise Yangzhou and take charge of all matters of the navy and army. You must conquer Yangzhou before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! Xu Ma Jiyuan acts cheaply, and all civil and military officials below the fourth rank can be executed first and then report. I respect this!"

Zhang Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, was so scared that he trembled all over after hearing the emperor's imperial edict. In the past, he was not afraid of civil servants because civil servants could not control him. Now Ma Jiyuan has been authorized by the emperor to act cheaply, and he can be executed first and then report. This really scared Zhang Liang. Although his official position is more than the fourth rank, no one has any relatives and friends, it will be bad if he commits a crime at that time.

After hearing the emperor's imperial edict, Jiang Pengju was happy. Based on his relationship with Governor Ma and the imperial edict, he would not kill the navy's rats!

As soon as Ma Jiyuan's voice fell, Jiang Pengju had not yet gotten up, he knelt there and shouted loudly: "Master Taifa, I will report that the Navy Admiral Zhang Liang was delaying the opportunity to fight. Please ask the Master Taifa to chop this bastard with the Emperor's Sword!"

When Zhang Liang heard that Jiang Pengju complained first, he was so angry that he was not angry. How dare these mud-legged guys say that they missed the opportunity to fight?

Zhang Liang quickly bowed and said, "Master Taifa, it is not that the General of the Last General missed the opportunity to fight, but the Army is incompetent. More than 40,000 people fought Yangzhou, which was guarded by only 60,000 cold weapons by the Qing army for nearly a month. He is still trapped under the Yangzhou city wall. Master Taifa believes that this is a shame for the Army, so he asked the General Taifa to chop all the officers in the Army with the Emperor's Sword!"

Jiang Pengju heard Zhang Liang say this and cursed: "You bunch of rats are so cruel. We only ask to kill one of you, but you want to kill all of us!"

"Fuck, the battle in Yangzhou was dominated by your army, why do we blame our navy for missing the opportunity?"

"You fart, don't you know that the army artillery is not powerful enough? Our Admiral Zhao has asked you to come close to support many times, why don't you go?"

"Don't you know how deep the naval warships are? Are you blind? Are you blind? Can we get in the Grand Canal with the depth of water?"

Jiang Pengju looked at him in a panic, and hated others the most that he said he was blind. Zhang Liang didn't open any pot today. In addition, he had suffered a lot of anger in Guazhou for more than ten days. The new and old hatreds and old hatreds together were so angry that Jiang Pengju was blind.

"Zhang Shuiyu, who are you scolding? Believe it or not, I will kill you?"

Zhang Liang was originally a bandit in Luoma Lake. He was not well educated. When he was a child, he named him Shuiyu. What good names can the children by the lake give him? This is pretty good. Later, Zhang Liang and Yan Qingshan were recruited together. They knew that their name was not good and were afraid that others would laugh at him, so they changed their name to Zhang Liang. Most people don’t know about this, but it can be hidden from the old Jiang Pengju.

Now when Zhang Liang heard Jiang Pengju reveal his true feelings, he was also angry and cursed: "What did you say, Blind Jiang? Do you believe me or not?"

Ma Jiyuan had just finished reading the imperial edict and was going to ask what the situation is now, but he didn't expect Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang to start.

Zhang Juchang, who was beside him, also came to Ma Jiyuan and cried, "Sir, you see, these military men dare to take action in front of you, but the officials are really suffering from bullying them! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

When Zhang Juchang cried like this, he immediately became a mess in the house, crying and scolding, just like a vegetable market.

Ma Jiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground. The sound of the teacup shattered made the room quiet.

Ma Jiyuan saw the quiet in the room and said, "It's all quiet. Whoever wants to make noise should not blame me for being ruthless!"

When the three people in the room saw Ma Jiyuan getting angry, they quickly calmed down and stood beside them.

Ma Jiyuan continued: "I don't care about the past, and I don't want to care about your bullshit affairs. I will make it clear that this time I come to this governor to obey the imperial edict, and have the right to act cheaply. If that dares to slack off, be careful that the emperor's sword will not have eyes!"

Ma Jiyuan is not Zhang Juchang, and his status is much better than him. When Jiang Pengju and Zhang Liang heard Ma Jiyuan say this, they quickly expressed that they would abide by the general order of the Taiwan Strait Master and fight bravely to fight the enemy.

Seeing that the three of them stopped crying, Ma Jiyuan asked his servants to serve tea again, and then signaled the three of them to sit down.

Ma Jiyuan asked, "General Jiang, you said just now that the Navy did not cooperate with you, what is the matter?"

When Jiang Pengju saw Ma Jiyuan asking himself first, he was happy. It seemed that the old relationship was useful! With Ma Jiyuan's permission, Jiang Pengju stood up and said, "Sir, our Admiral Zhao sent the Navy to come to Guazhou Ferry to borrow cannons from the Navy in the future, but Zhang Liang tried every means to obstruct him, just not giving him any words. You must know that our army will suffer hundreds of casualties under the city of Yangzhou every day. The General asked the National Taiwan Master to deal with the Navy hard!"

After Jiang Pengju said that, Zhang Liang was about to stand up and refute, but after Ma Jiyuan glared at him, Zhang Liang sat down in disappointment.

Ma Jiyuan asked, "General Jiang, can your army guarantee that as long as the naval cannon arrives, you can take Yangzhou before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"Master Taiwan Master, of course, Admiral Zhao is ready, just waiting for the cannon!"

Ma Jiyuan nodded, then turned to Zhang Liang and said, "Admiral Zhang, why is your navy unwilling to borrow cannons to the army!"

Zhang Liang finally got the opportunity to speak, so he quickly stood up and said, "Master Taiwan Master, it's not that the general refused to borrow cannons. The naval ships were too big and could not reach the shore. The tonnage of the ships Zhang Tongzhi got was too small. We had 21 pounds of artillery and each canal was 3,000 kilograms, and the ships on the canal could not be loaded!"

Zhang Liang thought for a while and continued: "Also, Master Builders, the navy's heavy artillery is installed on the bottom deck of the warship. Each deck is clamped with steel plates inside, which is really troublesome to disassemble. In addition, there is not enough manpower, each heavy artillery weighs 3,000 kilograms, and it takes fifty people to carry it. The navy really can't create so many manpowers!"

When Ma Jiyuan heard Zhang Liang, he was making a fuss. There were four or five hundred people on each navy ship, so he could not find any manpower. However, the trouble of deck disassembly he mentioned was the reason.

Ma Jiyuan knew that the army and the navy had always been disagreement, so Zhang Liang was afraid that the army would not cooperate because he did not want the army to obtain the military achievements of Yangzhou alone. However, Ma Jiyuan did not want to care about the navy and the army's affairs. He came to supervise the army, and he just needed to take Yangzhou, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

Ma Jiyuan interrupted Zhang Liang's conversation with a wave of his hand and said, "I didn't care about the past, and I didn't want to care about it. Now you can tell me what should I do? This governor has already issued a military order with the emperor. If I can't take Yangzhou before the fifteenth, I will chop my head. Don't worry, I will chop the heads of you three before the emperor cut me!"

The three of them heard Ma Jiyuan's fierceness and did not dare to speak. After all, the emperor's imperial decree was there. After playing with Ma Jiyuan, they really dared to cut off their heads.

Zhang Juchang is worthy of being a scholar, and he is very versatile. He heard Ma Jiyuan say this and interrupted: "Master of Taiwan, in fact, time is enough. Now there are still five days before the New Year, which is twenty days. Tonight, I will call people to unload the cannons by hand. Three days is enough. Guazhou is less than a day away from Yangzhou waterway, which means that you can reach Yangzhou before the New Year. However, it is hard to say whether the cannons can open the city wall when you arrive at Yangzhou. The Yangzhou city wall was built during the Hongwu period, and the main city wall is thirty feet thick!"

Ma Jiyuan looked at Zhang Liang without saying a word. After all, this was their navy's cannon, and their navy knew the power.

When Zhang Liang saw that it was his turn to express his determination, he quickly said, "Don't worry, the navy's heavy artillery is all twenty-one-pound cannons, and a shell weighs thirty kilograms. I will definitely be able to break the city wall for five days, but after breaking the city wall, it will not be our control. We are not a strong point in land war!"

At this time, Jiang Pengju said from the side: "We Admiral Zhao will know that your navy is afraid of death. As long as you blast the city wall, we can take Yangzhou in five days!"

Ma Jiyuan said to Zhang Juchang: "It takes a waterway to get from Guazhou to Yangzhou. How many boats are there on your canal?"

I heard Ma Jiyuan say this and Zhang Juchang said: "Sir, because the Qing Dynasty transferred ships to fight the navy a few years ago, the large ships with thousands of materials and five hundred materials on the canal were all transferred away. Now there are only less than one hundred small boats with one hundred materials left. Among them, there are fifty of them to ensure the supply of military supplies on the front line, and only fifty can be mobilized!"
