I didn't want to betray the commander-in-chief, it was just the situation that dictated that I and the supervisor were just trying to make ends meet!
Kong Youde muttered to himself as he followed Geng Jingzhong into the General Military Mansion. Along the way, he saw several other battalions of soldiers in full gear, just like Geng Jingzhong, who were gathering momentum around his Kongzi camp.
, he felt slightly chilly in his heart.
No matter how good he is at Kong Ziying, facing an opponent that is almost five times his size, he will probably be crushed by his opponent in less than an hour!
Moreover, if a fight really breaks out, he doesn't know whether the soldiers from other battalions will be a little hesitant before taking action. However, most of the soldiers in his Kongzi Battalion are poached from other battalions.
, including the several battalions surrounding them now.
The former brothers of life and death suddenly had to live and die. Whoever it was would have hesitated!
Just like Kong Youde, after Geng Jingzhong said what he said, he had the idea of detaining Geng Jingzhong or even killing Geng Jingzhong directly, but he is not the same now. After weighing the pros and cons, he followed Geng Jingzhong obediently.
Have you come to the General Military Mansion to see the Lord Supervisor?
Song Jian was a tall, thin eunuch who looked very kind. He seemed to be very different from the cold image in Kong Youde's mind. When he saw Kong Youde being polite, Song Jianjian laughed a few times.
"General Kong Shen led his army to rest and recuperate, which is a good thing for our Dongjiang Town to build up military strength. Now the Tatars are plundering, and no military strength can be wasted. General Kong is loyal to the court and considerate of the sergeants. Our family will definitely pay tribute to His Majesty."
This is how you report General Kong’s loyalty and bravery!”
"I am so ashamed of myself!" Kong Youde said sarcastically: "Actually, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief asked the Commander-in-Chief to go to Zhenjiang Fort to take charge!"
"Our family thinks it's good to stay here on Pi Island. The weather has gotten colder and our family can't bear the cold. Even if we want to go, we have to wait until spring next year!" Song Jian said slowly: "We
I also brought His Majesty’s decree to General Jiang. I originally wanted to invite General Jiang to Pidao to receive the order, but considering the serious military situation on the front line, I postponed it for a while. There was no need to tell you about this kind of thing.
However, you generals have some simple minds, so I will explain it to you to prevent you from having random thoughts!"
"Eunuch Song is the supervisor of Dongjiang Town appointed by His Majesty. He has the right to control the troops and do whatever is expedient for him!"
Geng Jingzhong said on the side: "General Kong, obeying the military orders of the supervisor is the same as obeying the military orders of the commander-in-chief. We all serve the imperial court and your majesty!"
"Haha!" Song Jian chuckled, seemingly disapproving of Geng Jingzhong's words. This attitude almost told everyone that Dongjiang Town's words will be effective in the future, I'm afraid it's him, the supervisor, not the commander-in-chief Jiang Wan.
.
Kong Youde nodded in agreement. He had to lower his head under the eaves. He knew that this was the supervisor and Geng Jingzhong reminding him not to be confused. He just imagined the conversation between Marshal Jiang and him before he set off. He suddenly
I feel like my face is a little hot.
I will definitely not be able to go back to Dongjiang Town. How will I face Marshal Jiang in the future? Moreover, even if I return to Dongjiang Town in the future, I am afraid that Marshal Jiang will no longer believe in and respect me as before.
No!
His face turned cold. In Marshal Jiang's heart, he was afraid that he might not really value him. He believed that those who valued him had always been his personal guard battalion, and the direct Nanhai battalion he brought from Beijing.
He treated himself favorably to the old people in Dongjiang Town just because he wanted to win over people like himself.
Thinking about it this way, he felt much better. At least, his guilt towards Jiang Wan was no longer so strong.
"Master Supervisor, in fact, if there is His Majesty's will, the Nanhai Camp who served as a member of the Imperial Guard should be the ones who obey His Majesty's orders the most..."
He wanted to remind Lord Supervisor, not that he had any bad intentions, he just wanted to know if Wu Sangui would make the same choice as himself when faced with a predicament like his own.
"General Jiang's thoughtful thinking is much better than that of you and me!" Song Jian sneered: "We came with His Majesty's decree, and of course the first person we wanted to see was Nanhai Battalion Commander Wu Sangui. Unfortunately,
When our family arrived at Pidao, we heard that the Nanhai Battalion had been dispatched by General Jiang. General Jiang seemed to know that our family would come to Pidao, so he specially sent the Nanhai Battalion out. This made our family on Pidao
These days, when I think about this, I feel a little worried..."
"Lord Supervisor, the reason why the Nanhai Battalion went to battle before the arrival of the Supervisor was probably not because of the Supervisor!"
Kong Youde swallowed his saliva and started talking. Anyway, he knew very well in his heart that even if he didn't tell Zhenjiang Fort about Jiang Wan's arrangements now, the supervisor would definitely ask about it, and there was no way he could hide it.
Now, if you take the initiative to speak now, you can take the initiative with the Lord Supervisor.
"Oh, what's going on? Tell me!" Song Jian looked very interested.
"Let's start talking about this matter when the Tatars send troops to Liaoyang..."
Kong Youde cleared his throat and began to speak slowly. He started with Lu Xiangsheng's visit to Zhenjiang Fort, and then continued that Jiang Wan sent the Guards Battalion and Nanhai Battalion to enter Kuandian via North Korea.
It's just that before he came, the battle report from Kuandian hadn't come yet, so he didn't know what the situation was there at the moment.
"So, Jiang Wan sent two battalions of the Guards Battalion and the Nanhai Battalion into North Korea in order to contain the military strength of the Tartars east of Shengjing and relieve the pressure on the Liaoyang War?"
Song Jian said slowly.
Kong Youde nodded fiercely, he felt that was the case, and there was no doubt about it.
"What nonsense!"
Song Jian's face changed, and he said disdainfully: "He clearly colluded with the Korean state and sent these two battalions to attack the Tartars in Kuandian in order to find a way out for himself. He knew clearly the relationship between the Tartars in Kuandian and
Zhenjiang Fort formed a pincer attack, forcing the Tartar Panjiakou Malanyu forces to withdraw, and then occupied such a large area. Do you really think that we don't know how to lead troops and can't clearly see the strength of the troops?"
Kong Youde blinked: "Even if this is the case, there is nothing wrong with it. Even if we cannot help Liaoyang rescue the siege, the area occupied by me in Dongjiang Town will be larger!"
"Dongjiang Town? Haha!" Song Jian chuckled: "The Tartars can't reach Kuandian, and the Koreans can't reach Kuandian. And our Ming Dynasty Dongjiang Town is located on Pidao, and Kuandian is hundreds of miles away from Pidao.
, even the Ming Dynasty can’t reach out, do you think Jiang Wan fought for this territory of several hundred taels in Kuandian for our Ming Dynasty?”
Kong Youde was horrified. He looked back at Geng Jingzhong and Yao Chunyong and found that they were not surprised at all by Song Jian's words.
"Hmph, please continue talking about the situation at Zhenjiang Fort..." Song Jian waved his hand: "There is still a lot our family wants to know!"
