Chapter 795 Jinyang: Is the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei prepared for war? (Please give me the moon)
As Shen Fang of the Governor-General's Office of Liangjiang received the news that the Jurchen army was pressing on the border and that the troops had reached the old capital of Jinling in the evening of that day, the news also spread rapidly throughout Jinling City.
The Southern Province was originally open-minded and had a lot of active scholars. In just one night, on the morning of the next day, some details about the military situation were leaked by some scribes with great eyes and hands.
Especially compared to the 50,000 naval divisions, the nearly 10,000 naval divisions that have just been built in the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps cannot compete with them in terms of book strength, not to mention that Uncle Yongning is not in Jinling City yet.
Jinling is about to be in disaster!
This panic slowly spread in Jinling City, and a hidden undercurrent also emerged, mainly trying to blame Jurchens and sea pirates for attacking the old capital of Jinling on Jia Heng's head.
Go to Haojing and leave your post without permission!
On the morning of the next day, the heavy autumn dew from last night stained the black eaves and tiles. The weather was gloomy, as if an autumn rain was brewing. In front of the archway with the plaque inscribed on the Governor's Yamen of Liangjiang, horse-drawn carriages lined up from the main entrance. Street intersection.
After more than a month, the official hall of this weather-beaten yamen was once again filled with officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Imperial College, as well as officials in scarlet robes and green robes gathered in the hall, noisily.
Lin Yingqi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was nearly fifty years old, with some gray hair and fear on his wrinkled face. He prayed: "Shenzhentai, Uncle Yongning is not in Jinling, and the Jurchen army is approaching. I need to make an idea." yes."
Shen Tiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, twirled his beard with his hands and said loudly: "On that occasion, 70,000 men came, and Jinling's troops and horses were just over 80,000. Less than half of them were newly recruited soldiers. I heard that the Queen of the Ministry of War came out for a long time. The corruption case in the arsenal and the official department has caused the small battalions in the south and north of the Yangtze River to be unprepared. Now we are in the realm of male true invaders. I want to ask you, how can you resist it? "
Princess Fang Yaochun clapped Yuan Chun's hand heavily and said loudly: "There are still generals from the Jiangbei camp and the Jiangnan camp. They should have sent news to the capital at this time. The military and horse cities in Huguang, Henan and Jiangxi He would be too worried about supporting Jinling."
In fact, if Jade Rong can be my concubine, it will be special if Annan is sent to Ningguo Mansion.
Princess Fang Yaochun's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said in a hot voice: "Those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, next time the Zhenhai Navy will suffer a small defeat, we are not like that, and now our memory will be lost."
Hearing this, Zhen Xi frowned and had no choice but to bow to the carriage that was driving away in a hurry, and watched as her father's carriage merged into the traffic.
The gentleman named Ruan was usually bold and arrogant, but he was restrained. Everyone knew his temperament, and even before they were strangers, they thought he was dissatisfied.
However, I was thinking beforehand that when I got back, my family would have to collect their gold and silver, and they would first flee along the Yangtze River to Jingzhou, Xiangyang and other places.
Shen Fang said: "You villains, please be patient. I have sent people to invite Marquis Ruan Yin, Qu Guang from the Jiangnan Xiaoying, the water commander from the Jiangbei Xiaoying and other relevant generals. You gentlemen, please be patient."
Seeing that the voices of the officials' arguments gradually subsided, Shen Fang said: "What Mr. Fang said makes sense, but the imperial edicts were issued one after another, and Zhen Lanbo was promoted to the small camp in the south and north of the Yangtze River. It was natural for him to plan and defeat the enemy. I think with Zhen Lanbo's intelligence and general strategy, even if the troops in the small camp in Jiangnan are even and the weapons are in order, it will hurt Xiaoya. I will definitely be able to achieve another great honor for the court, so you villains must rest assured."
In the blink of an eye, there was another argument, and there was a lot of talk.
Lianxue said loudly: "Your Majesty, that time Nanzhen came and killed tens of thousands of navy. The ships gathered at the mouth of Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Taicang Prefecture to know when to go ashore to attack."
In fact, everyone thought that the male partner of the Zhen family was going to Zhenxi, even though they didn't say it. When I mentioned this, there was a feeling of confusion in my heart.
"How can a young husband have a wife?" Ning Bo smiled, raised his wine cup and offered a toast to Zhen Xi.
Living or dying with Jinling City... Isn't it wonderful that the situation is bad?
The small camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei currently only has 40,000 soldiers and horses in total. For example, it may not be able to handle a naval battle, but it is still more than enough to protect Jinling.
Yuanchun nodded heavily, but a weak longing for Mr. Cao surged in his heart.
You Shi Fendai's rouqiang Chai Yuxia looked sad and said: "I originally thought that the south would be more peaceful, but I thought that all the real men had come to the south of the Yangtze River, and I hoped that Jinling City would be destroyed by war. "
When other officials heard this, they all agreed.
Today, Chai Yu brought two boys, Li Wen and Li Qi, to visit and were talking to You in the front hall.
I just took this opportunity to roast Zhenlanbo Cao under the fire. Nanzhen led 70,000 naval troops that time. I want to see how that battle is fought!
Princess Fang Yaochun said solemnly: "Xianning and Chanyue are here."
At this moment, Princess Fang Yaochun’s Mansion
Seeing that Zhen Xi's face was blank and lost, Xiang Shizhang smiled and complimented him. He also woke up from his lost state for many years and said: "Ziye has low ambitions, you have to admire him.
This Jia Ziyu is one year older than me, and his surname is Jia when he was born. How can he be so virtuous?
As the saying goes, there is no ventilation wall in the world. The fact that Annan was entrusted to the Cao family by Mrs. Zhen before her death was hidden from no one, let alone the in-laws of the Fang family.
Everyone also looked at Zhen Xi with a joking look.
At that time, Shen Fang suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, stop for a moment."
Youshi asked in surprise: "Auntie also heard it."
Even the Fuzhou Navy and Zhejiang Navy heard that the pirates were harassing the south of the Yangtze River, and they also sent warships and naval forces to retreat from the flanks and contain them.
Zhen Xi frowned, smiled and said: "The Zhen family has just held a funeral, and it will have to wait for another seven years. All brothers also know that you want to get married before passing the exam. Woolen cloth."
Lianxue said solemnly: "Your Majesty, should you go back to Kaifeng first, or go to Xiangyang to hide?"
"What else can I say? I'm just waiting for Uncle Zhen Lan to return from Guangdong Province and say that all military affairs will be decided by the generals left behind in the small camp in Jiangnan." Master Shen said angrily and got off the car curtain raised by the butler on the side. After getting out of the carriage, he immediately lifted the curtain and said, "He is going to have dinner with some of his friends. My father also wants to visit Mr. Xie."
"Brothers, when you go to the restaurant for dinner, it seems that it is starting to rain slowly that day." Zhen Xi's eyes were a little more focused, and under his elegant face, he could see a bit of the brightening sky that was emerging at this moment.
Xiang Shizhang reminded: "Brother Ruan, how can I say that Chai Yuhuan is also your master? Is that true?"
And as time goes by, according to Chen Han's emphasis on the ancient capital of Jinling and the important place of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, supporting troops from all walks of life will continue to gather towards Jinling.
Yuan Chun sat down and asked expectantly: "Your Majesty, is there any news about Brother Heng?"
The Fang family may not have any other ideas in mind.
Therefore, during the Mid-Autumn Poetry Recital, in the presence of the eighth master of the Zhen family, we had met once and liked each other.
"What Mr. Shen said is wrong. Chai Yubo, who originally went south to lead the military reorganization, was doing his job and went to the east of Guangdong to enforce the sea ban. Now the entire small camp in the south and north of the Yangtze River is filled with generals who are embarrassing Xiao Ren. So what?
Can you stop the extremely evil man? Ishigu, the Minister of Rites, sighed and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Next time I go to fight, I will make you fearful. Fortunately, I won the battle in Haimen. I wanted to be loyal and spared, and led the people to come back again.
In the past few days, you were chanting sutras and praying for me in the front yard of the mansion and in the Buddhist hall, and you also heard some news.
Since Jia Ziyu can take the seventh eldest sister of the Zhen family into the house as a maid, can I, Fang Ziye, do the same?
Yuan Chun nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, it has been spread throughout the city that pirates are causing trouble in the sea area. The new army of the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River is 20,000. We can resist the 70,000 pirates and Nanzhen."
Ma, now all the small households in the city are packing up their gold and silver, thinking of escaping from Jinling."
When Chai Yuhuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "I am also feeling the difficult times, so I make suggestions for the country. Why do you need to ridicule me? I am a scholar with the power to tie a chicken. I went behind the lines of the two armies.
Isn’t it just adding to the chaos?”
As soon as these words came out, Lord Shen of the Imperial Academy Jijiu took up the conversation and said loudly: "Chief Jinyang, those northern generals may not fight on the water, but they are also like Chai Yuhou who has become an old man in planning for the country. In the opinion of the superiors, Ruan Yinhou and the governor of Liangjiang should be allowed to
The government temporarily co-managed the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River, and dispatched elite soldiers and weak generals to the mouth of the river to guard against the bandits landing, burning, killing and looting.
Everyone also tacitly agreed to mention the Zhen family again.
At this moment, Cao and Chen Xiao abandoned their entourage first, riding slow horses on the Jinyi Mansion guard's entourage, and quickly returned to Jinling.
But Wu Maozu, the Minister of Rites, was clearly too convinced, and said in a loud voice: "That Zhen Lanbo, the bad guy was organizing his army in Jinling, and he had to go to the Guangdong Sea. Now when the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River encounter an enemy situation, everyone can find them."
, how can we count on it?”
Except for Chai Dai, Yun Tan, Wen Qi, Annan and other older girls, none of the older girls have come to visit their sister Yu Rong.
Ning Bo, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, smiled and said, "The mayor of Jinyang was frightened by what happened next time, so he was dismissed and retained. Has he been reinstated yet?"
The man who has not worn the Eight Horses of Jinling for many years has a tall and straight figure, a majestic appearance, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He is dressed in blue silk clothes and has a jade pendant hanging around his waist.
But when I think of this beautiful face with red silk and snow, as well as the knowledge, knowledge, poetry and diction that I usually exchanged through letters, I still feel hard to let go of it.
Du Ding nodded and said: "What Brother Wang said is wrong. Those men must be investigating the matter and have no intention of taking the opportunity to commit crime."
She is also the legitimate son of the Zhen family, and she is a concubine to Zhen Lanbo, so the Fang family treats her as a head wife? Are we, the Fang family, superior to others?
Ning Bo laughed and said: "Brother Xiang remembered it wrong. Ruan passed the exam in the Bingchen year. At that time, he was the examiner of Mr. Lei from the Ministry of Rites. His co-examiner was the governor of Jiangnan and Zhao Xiaoren, a postgraduate student who was transferred to Fujian. He was the same as Jin.
Yang Chang has always had the friendship of being a teacher."
Princess Fang Yaochun's face was as frosty as she said loudly: "There is nothing to hide in. The two small camps in the south and north of the Yangtze River are out of troops. The people leading the troops now are all sent by me, and there is no one better than Jinling."
dangerously
square.
Therefore, not all Jiangnan scholars took it for granted.
Du Ding, a well-known Jiangnan scholar on the side, said: "Brother Fang, after the battle at Haimen, Chai Yuhuan no longer cares about the affairs of Jiangnan Xiaoying. Everything will be decided after Zhen Lanbo comes back."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pressed it softly.
Thinking of this, Zhen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a surge of balanced thoughts.
Orioles and swallows are beautiful, and their faces are either plump, white, or delicate, and there is also a look of worry underneath them.
Grandma You was wearing a plain orchid dress, with plain makeup on her head and face. She was looking at the wind and rain inside, with a slightly dazed look on her beautiful brows.
Lianxue said: "Your Majesty, if you want to send another flying pigeon message to Zhen Lanbo."
When Yuanchun heard this, Xue Ni Jia Heng had a dark look on his face, and said in a serious voice: "People in Jinling City are in panic now. Brother Heng is there, and it seems like he has an extra backbone."
Wang Guo was a young man of seventy-seven or eighteen years old, with an ancient appearance, sharp eyebrows, and calm eyes. He said: "Uncle Zhen Lan went to eastern Guangdong, and it didn't take long for the Customs and Taxation Department to be established. It should have been done."
On the way back."
The Cao family's small defeat of Shao Duo in Haimen still aroused bad feelings among some scholars in Jinling City. In addition, Xu Kai, a bachelor of the Later Imperial Academy, also frequently made the Cao family famous in letters to his friends in Jiangnan.
Chai Yu said loudly: "Recently, there has been chaos outside the city, and people are in panic."
At that time, the maid Yindie brought the cold tea and handed it to Fang Kuang and Youshi.
"What Fang Xiaoren said is absolutely true. Now that there is a vacancy for the Minister of War, why don't you recommend yourself to join the Jiangbei Xiaoying Navy Division to supervise the naval battle and turn the tide?" A censor suddenly said.
As soon as those words were said, the officials from the Eight Ministries of Nanjing in the official office expressed their admiration.
"He's here too." Princess Fang Yaochun looked at Duonan with gleaming beautiful eyes and asked, "But have you heard the news in Jinling City?"
I am there because the Zhen family is from a scholarly family and does not look like a nouveau riche in the eyes of the Jiangnan scholar-official families.
Although the marriage between Yu Rong and Zhen Xi was not ordered by their parents or a matchmaker, they were unknown to each other because Zhen Xi was famous as the Eight Horsemen of Jinling, and the Eighth Sister Zhen and the Seventh Sister Zhen were even more famous unknown talents in Jinling.
.
Mei Dunben, the left deputy censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, also said: "What Chief Jinyang said was wrong. That Zhen Lanbo did not leave his post without authorization. The superior thought that Ruan Yinhou and the Governor-General of Liangjiang should jointly gather troops."
Horses, we fight against the evil forces of the bandits."
It was just before noon, and indeed there was a heavy rain in the sky. The branches and leaves of several sycamore trees swayed in the wind, and the branches and leaves were dense and smokey. Before the rain, they became more and more green, and the rainwater gathered into a trickle and flowed from the roof.
The eaves tiles flow upward and hit the foot of the stone steps.
Princess Fang Yaochun sighed heavily, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and said: "Now I know where I am, maybe it was only those two days."
During those days, the beauty suddenly thought about sewing clothes for the eldest child, which she might prepare in the future, so the skills she had mastered for a long time were finally put to use again, and what she was sewing was silk fabrics for the eldest child.
Yuanchun, dressed in light yellow clothes and with her hair tied up in a bun, came over and called out loudly: "Your Majesty."
"I heard that the war preparations haven't ended yet, and the navy has been sent to Haimen." Lianxue said in a serious voice.
Chai Yu sighed and said: "There are discussions in the streets and alleys now. I heard that that time was more dangerous than the Zhen family's defeat this time. It is really about to happen."
Princess Fang Yaochun nodded and said: "It's not bad to send a letter. I was also on the way at that time. I sent someone to call Xianning and Chanyue over. I have a few words for you."
Fang Kuang's boudoir was also educated, otherwise he would have been married into the Li family of Jinling's famous eunuchs who had heirlooms of poems and books. Moreover, as a widow, he had to drag Li Wen and Li Qi, two eldest girls, with little education.
Writing poems and songs.
Everyone in the Ningguo Mansion responded, then took the umbrella from the chief's hand and held it up before walking.
In fact, when the patrol boat of Jiangbei Xiaoying detected the enemy's situation under the sea, they sent a letter to the Cao family by flying pigeon, and the Cao family knew earlier that the "Korean Navy" that Shao Duo had moved was
"The reinforcements haven't arrived at Jinling yet.
A few people later went to the restaurant and retreated into a commonly used private room. Among all the scholars, Zhen Xi was of the most aristocratic origin. Today, he was entertaining guests, so he sat in the first place.
Separated from the exterior by a screen painted by gentlemen, the space is spacious and elegantly furnished. The candlelight is also dim, the aroma is lingering in the incense cage, the rain hits the sycamores outside the window, the world is quiet and indescribable, and the interior is filled with the fragrance of orchid and musk deer.
, warm and pleasant fragrance.
Shen Fang's face was slightly solemn, and he said righteously: "Soldiers are the trivial matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. I am a civil servant who is good at economic planning and planning. In this way, I will guard Jinling and live and die with the city of Jinling! I have already pledged my life to the country.
, Righteousness is Rong Ci! You haven’t informed anyone about Ruan Yinhou and Commander Qu Du. I think these two veteran generals should not have entered the enemy’s strategy.”
Princess Fang Yaochun was dressed in a light red dress, with a heart-shaped bun. There were no complicated or gorgeous hairpins. She put the needles and fabrics in her hands. On her willow-leaf eyebrows, a worried look floated in her beautiful eyes.
And that piece of jade pendant was a token given to each other in the presence of the elders of both parties before their marriage to Yurong, the eighth eldest sister of the Zhen family.
"Then the rain started coming, one autumn rain and another cold." Youshi looked at the wind and rain inside and said with deep emotion.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the official hall had looks of fear on their faces.
It cannot be said that the governor of Liangjiang was no longer willing to take up the task after being defeated by Zhen Zhu one after another and having suffered a humiliation.
In the front yard, mist and rain shrouded the courtyard, and the sky and the earth were vast. Because the sky was dark, candles were lit in the side rooms. Sometimes the wind came, and the candles swayed with the wind, revealing several exquisite and graceful or plump figures.
Projected under the screen.
Princess Fang Yaochun was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a coherent manner: "Then...it won't be long, and I should be back. Besides, such a small thing happened again."
At that moment, the voices of Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe came from inside, and the first two people retreated into the wing.
Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue were also discussing the invasion with 70,000 navy troops at that time. Now they retreated to the wing, saluted Princess Fang Yaochun, and asked about Cao's itinerary. Naturally, Yuanchun was particularly disappointed.
.
Lianxue responded loudly, and while the two of them were talking, a man with a plump face and a man of more than 20 years of age suddenly came from inside. He walked over with a graceful charm between his eyebrows and a face as pink as snow.
There is no natural blush on the baby's face.
After the beauty listened to Lianxue's narration, the gentle and gentle Jia Heng looked worried and asked, "What does it say?"
When the censor heard this, he was also stunned. I originally meant it as a compliment, but who knew.
Princess Fang Yaochun, Chai Yuxia, appeared thoughtful, put aside the needlework in her hand, and said in a clear voice: "Isn't the small camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei prepared for war?"
With that said, he raised his wine cup and toasted Zhen Xi.
Shaobao, Xie Yue, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is retiring in Jinling. Xie Duobao, who tried his best to save the situation when Liaodong was defeated in the 71st year of Longzhi, is now living in Jiangnan, and is usually looked down upon.
thing.
At that time, Ning Bo asked with a smile: "Ziye, when will you and the eldest lady of the Zhen family get married?"
Dong Chongxue, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, frowned in the character "Chuan" and said worriedly: "Chief Jinyang, what are you waiting for? You all know what is going on in the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River. It is still the same one time as the next.
Wan Nan Zhenren, relying solely on the small camp in the south and north of the Yangtze River, is afraid of collapse at the first touch. At this time, the city of Jinling is under fire of war, and there is no worry of the country being shaken."
As for the safety of Jinling, reinforcements from all provinces are arriving, so it should be a small matter.
When things like Zhen Zhu happened to the Zhen family, Mrs. Zhen went to the west again. The Zhen family was not so popular. I heard people say that there was no difficulty to overcome, so it affected my career in the imperial examination.
,
As a group of officials were noisy and noisy, and finally came up with a charter, it was not until noon that everyone left the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion in twos and eights with complaints and anxiety about Chai Yu.
Before the two eldest girls arrived in Jinling, they visited many famous historical sites in the past two days. But it rained today, and they were still tinkering with something in the embroidery building. According to Princess Fang Yaochun, they were rehearsing a dance.
At that time, among several young people, a man of many years with an elegant face swept his eyes through the crowd and went against the flow of people to greet him, calling: "Father, what did Chief Jin Yang say?"
When Shen Fang heard this, he glanced at Mei Dunben with indifferent eyes and thought to himself, does that person have no grudge against me?
