At sunset that afternoon, Zhang Zhou finished teaching Zhu Houzhao and was about to leave the palace under the guidance of internal officials.
In the morning, he was giving lectures with the lecturers in the East Palace. In the afternoon, he was alone, so it was more convenient to go out. Carrying his own lesson plan, Zhang Zhou felt like he had returned to his previous life, and he was giving lectures to others every day. The main focus is on attending classes. Although there are no weekends or winter and summer vacations, you don’t have to come every day. When you get off work, you don’t go back to watch live broadcasts, drink and brag. Instead, you go back to your wife and children to warm up on the kang, and you can also practice gymnastics.
Although the Internet is missing, Zhang Zhou feels that his life is relatively smooth.
"Master Zhang."
Before Zhang Zhou took two steps out, he saw Liu Jin quickly catching up with him with a stern face.
The eunuch Yang Peng who was leading the way glanced at Liu Jin and was very wary.
Zhang Zhou said, "Oh, Eunuch Liu is sending me out of the palace today."
"No, no." Liu Jin said hurriedly, "I'm just giving you a ride."
"You said this as if you were going to send me to my funeral. Eunuch Liu, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Zhang Zhou knew that Liu Jin was respectful to him now, but that would not be the case later. Will the favored person in front of me still be as respectful and obedient to Liu Jin as he is now when he reaches his golden age?
Liu Jin said with a smile, "Master Zhang is like this. He is young and doesn't have much ability. In front of the prince." I haven't achieved much in the past two years, but I just want to do something for the prince."
"It's boring to talk in circles. Do you think I have a lot of time?" Zhang Zhou was impatient.
You can’t look good on people like Liu Jin.
Liu Jin said, "Look at Eunuch Zhang Yong. I heard that he made great contributions when he was in Pianguan. I also thought that I was definitely not doing it for myself, but for the prince. The prince also I hope there are people around me who know how to fight. Can you help me?"
"Oh"
Zhang Zhou did not feel that Liu Jin was competing for his job.
Even if a eunuch understands military affairs, the most he can understand is that he is just a person sent by the emperor to supervise the army.
To direct the war, we still need to rely on the censors at all levels, that is, the chief commander or the governor, or the chief military officer. The eunuchs only take credit and do nothing. Of course, there are also Wang Zhi and others. A powerful eunuch who can take the initiative to take over military power and do something good.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, you are really ambitious."
"No, I just want to do more for the prince, and I also want to do things for you, Master Zhang. "Liu Jin looked very humble.
Zhang Zhou looked at him with a look that said, "You old boy finally lived up to my training." He smiled and said, "Very good. Next time I have a chance to go to the battlefield, I will recommend you to His Majesty. Please do a good job." Do it."
"Definitely, definitely." Liu Jin was ecstatic, as if she was about to become rich, and jumped back towards the Wenhua Palace.
"Sir, if you really plan to help someone like him, you are not a serious person at first glance."
After Yang Peng heard Liu Jin’s previous request, after Liu Jin left, he used a hostile tone, as if he was instigating Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou squinted at Yang Peng.
To say that Liu Jin is not serious, it seems that your Yang Peng’s products are not too pure either
And you, Yang Peng, are in Dongchang and have done more bad things, and your reputation from outside is even worse. Damn, the Mancang'er case and the like have something to do with you, and you actually have the nerve to tell others
"He is just serving the prince in the East Palace. I am an official in the East Palace. I can't see you when you look up." Yes, if he really wants to go to the northwest to experience Eunuch Yang, you don’t really think that military glory in the northwest is easy to come by. Wang Weining is always there, but wars are not common.”
Zhang Zhou almost didn’t tell Yang Peng , without my plan, whoever goes to the northwest or Liaodong will be in vain.
Yang Peng swallowed, obviously he had the same idea as Liu Jin, "Sir, if you see any need for these people to contribute, just give me an order. These people also want to follow you and do their part for the Ming Dynasty. Power."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Zhang Zhou agreed, but whether he would take it seriously is another matter.
Liaodong, Ningyuan City.
In the early morning of 291, Ren Liang and others were still preparing to organize their troops, but they learned that the coach Zhu Feng had not come down from the top of the city all night.
"Hey, you are still a fool who leads the army. Let's go up to the top of the city and have a look."
Ren Liang led Qian Ying, the commander of the capital, and other generals, and hurried to the west gate of the outer city. Go to the top of the city of Ying'en Gate.
On the top of the city at this time, Wang Qiong was still helping Zhu Feng plan.
Zhu Feng also discovered that Wang Qiong was very capable and could not just be a grain supervisor. He also seemed to understand that the emperor and Zhang Zhou asked Wang Qiong to come to Ningyuan with him just to help him make suggestions. Yes, there are many things that he doesn't understand. As long as Wang Qiong gives a little guidance, he will be able to understand them thoroughly and then make appropriate arrangements.
This is also the reason why local snakes have been very critical of Zhu Feng in the past few days since he came to the city, and they have not ignored him.
In addition to Zhu Feng’s strong background, it is also because Zhu Feng has a good military advisor beside him.
"It's close, it's already four or five miles away." Wang Qiong looked at it with a telescope, and explained the situation to Zhu Feng based on the information compiled by the sentry rider.
Zhu Feng became excited and asked, "Can we get closer? Four or five miles is still a bit far."
Wang Qiong thought for a while and did not give a plan easily.
At this moment, Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others came up to the top of the city, and with them came two deputy commanders, Zhang Yanling and Chen Rui.
Wang Qiong frowned and said, "Why are you all here and not guarding the rest?"
It means that everyone in the city who is qualified to deploy troops and generals has come to this place. , We are not afraid that a stone will fall from the sky, and we will be killed together. Then there will be a chaos in the city, and Di Yi will take advantage of it.
Ren Liang sneered and said, "Mr. Wang, you are too worried, right?" Where are the people from Liangha? You can point them out."
Recently, Wang Qiong has been helping Zhu Feng with suggestions, and he is vaguely the civil servant leader in the city. Ren Liang's power is the one who has been emptied out. Of course, Ren Liang is unhappy with Wang Qiong. This time, it was Wang Qiong who took the initiative to "provoke trouble", and he was even more Can't help it.
Immediately, a general reminded me, "Eunuch Ren, Wu Liangha's men and horses are less than five miles away from the city."
Chen Rui said, "If we use cavalry to attack suddenly, the breath of The time is here, take advantage of it before its foothold is stable."
Halfway through his words, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and Chen Rui stopped talking.
He suddenly realized that as a "famous general" who was once the only one in the northwest, he was now like a clown in the eyes of others. No one would believe what he said
Qian Ying was still considered a clown. He was polite and reminded, "Uncle Ping Jiang, the terrain in Liaodong is not as good as the three sides. The terrain here is long and narrow and there is almost no place for garrisoning. If the deployment of troops does not go smoothly, it will not be so easy to withdraw the cavalry into the city. You should also take a look at this city gate. Now, it’s a bit difficult to accommodate two riders at a time.”
“Ahem.”
Chen Rui was choked by a commanding officer. Naturally, he felt very unhappy and could only do it. Coughing to hide embarrassment.
Zhu Feng ignored Qian Ying's advice and asked, "If we want the people of the Duoyan tribe to get closer to the city, is there any way to get to a distance of two or three miles?"
Ren Liang was surprised and said, "What An Bianbo is trying to do is to keep the barbarians away from the city fortress so that both sides can be safe."
Ren Liang now feels that Zhu Feng is a bit suicidal. If you don't come, you still want them to come near
Zhu Feng is also an open-minded person, and immediately said, "Guys, please look, we have set up the cannons. If they come close, we will shoot them down." The range of these cannons is two to three miles away. By then"
"Hahahaha"
Ren Liang couldn't help but laugh. This time he was serious. In mockery.
Wang Qiong said, "What do you mean, Eunuch Ren?"
Ren Liang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It is very easy to get the Hulu to get close to the city fort. As long as the cavalry are deployed, the Hulu will definitely Come over and force the cavalry to retreat into the city. But Uncle Anbian, I want to remind you, no matter how far your artillery fires, what can you do if you send an iron ball out? Do you expect it to hit the enemy's formation exactly? He will hide"
"If you do this, the city gate will cause trouble, and it may even involve the city gate not being closed in time, leading to the defeat of the army, haha, you can figure it out yourself"
The group of local snake generals next to Ren Liang were also laughing.
Even Qian Ying could tell that his "adopted father" was giving Zhu Feng bad ideas. Things that could be solved by just staying in the city had to come up with some tricks. No matter how strong Feng's background is, he will still suffer.
Zhu Feng didn't even think about it, "Then send the cavalry out to form an array."
"Ah"
The people present included "our own people" brought by Zhu Feng ", they all looked at Zhu Feng with "you're crazy" eyes.
Ren Liang put away his scornful smile and said seriously, "An BianUncle, you are playing with fire and burning yourself. It is the rule of the Ming Dynasty's border troops. Whether in Liaodong, Yansui, Ningxia, Datong and other places, they wait for the Tatars to retreat before pursuing them. This has been the case for decades, you You can’t really think of yourself as Wang Weining after going through a partial battle.”
With Ren Liang’s tough attitude, he felt that if you, Zhu Zhijie, tormented us to defend the city, we couldn’t do anything to you. , and even cooperate.
But if you want us to go out with you to die, then don't let these people cooperate with you.
Zhu Feng also sees the disadvantages of these local snakes. Cooperating, he glared at Chen Rui and said, "Mr. Chen, I leave the formation to you."
"What?"
Chen Rui was startled. Now that he thinks of me, he treats me as "Old Chen", you usually just call me "Old Chen", right?
Ren Liang said in a sarcastic tone, "Uncle Ping Jiang, don't you most want to go out and fight Wu Liangha's people? Now the chief soldier I gave the order, but you obey it."
Chen Rui is a little on the verge of tears.
When I think of my feelings at this time, I want to take the initiative, right?
When Wang Qiong saw the scene, he couldn't control it and said sternly, "Now Uncle Anbian has given the order to send the cavalry out of the city to form a formation. Do you have any objections? If you don't obey the military order, without anyone else, I will go to court to impeach Eunuch Ren." Don’t forget about Yizhou”
“You”
Ren Liang glared at Wang Qiong.
Yizhou falsely reported military exploits, although this matter has come to It hasn't completely fermented yet, but Ren Liang feels that he can get out of the matter by relying on the trust relationship.
But if today Wang Qiong, in the name of the grain supervisor sent by the imperial court, goes to the imperial court to impeach him, Ren Liang. , Ren Liang knew that even if he had two strong backers, Wei Bin and Chen Kuan, he might not be able to hold on.
At this time, Qian Ying and others had their hands on the hilt of their swords, it seemed. Feeling angry because Ren Liang was taught a lesson, there were signs of a mutiny in the army at any time. Of course, they were just pretending to show it to outsiders. They wanted to frighten Wang Qiong and know the price of his wrong words, and also to show that they People support Ren Liang, just wait for Ren Liang to give the order
Of course Ren Liang will not give such an order
Unless Ren Liang really lives enough. p>
And even if Ren Liang actually issued a military order to kill Wang Qiong, the people below may not dare to obey it.
It was just a tacit understanding.
Wang Qiong said, "An Bian." Uncle, give the order. ”
Zhu Feng looked at Wang Qiong with grateful eyes. He did not expect that at the critical moment, only Wang Qiong would stand firmly on his side. Even he himself felt that he would send cavalry out to form an array. , is a bit risky, no wonder the generals in Liaodong disagreed.
It seems that only Wang Qiong can understand his tactics, or that Wang Qiong can understand Zhang Zhou's strategic intentions.
< p>Zhu Feng thought to himself, "Why does Brother Zhang want me to lead the army? Wouldn't it be better if I let Wang Langzhong come?""How many cavalry are there in the city?" Zhu Feng asked.
< p>"Huh"Ren Liang snorted heavily, deliberately expressing his disdain in front of others.
You, a general officer, have been in the city for so many days, but you don't even know how many cavalry are in the city. In this way, he still has the nerve to command and dispatch troops
Wang Qiong said, "When the general officer asked, Commander Qian still didn't answer."
This is really not because Zhu Feng is inexperienced, but because The local snakes did not fully cooperate with Zhu Feng in dispatching troops, but only supported him in reassuring the people. In addition, Ren Liang deliberately made the cavalry in the city disobey orders to prevent Zhu Feng from sending troops out to fight against the Duoyan guards.
In fact, Ren Liang had his own unique ideas in doing this.
You take our soldiers out to fight against the three guards of Duoyan. If you win, the credit will be yours, but if you lose, it will be our people. We may have to bear the blame.
Who is willing to risk his life with you?
But now that Wang Qiong is threatening him with Yizhou's false claims of military exploits, he is a little frightened.
Qian Ying saw that Ren Liang did not express anything, then he came out and said, "There are three thousand cavalry in the city, An Bianbo, and Di Yi is outside the city. There are at least four to five thousand cavalry, and Wuliang." Ha's cavalry are all ranked high in the grassland. It is only because the terrain in Liaodong is long and narrow that it is not suitable for the cavalry, so Liaodong has always been at peace with Uliang Ha. Don't you want to"
"That's enough Wang Qiong interrupted Qian Ying, "Send as many as you have"
Ren Liang said angrily, "The barbarians are attacking, what should I do if I can't withdraw?"
Wang Qiong said, "Anbian Bodu said that with the artillery, the Hulu will not be allowed to attack the city. Then we can rectify our troops and pursue them directly."
"Wang Langzhong, do you have experience in leading troops? Do you dare to do this here? You can command whatever you want, but you will be responsible for all the mistakes after the defeat." Ren Liang couldn't help it this time, and challenged Wang Qiong in person.
Wang Qiong had an angry look on his face, but he looked very majestic and said, "No matter what The merits and demerits are all shared together. Who can get away from it?"
At this time, even Ren Liang didn't expect it.
Zhu Feng seemed to be a mediocre person, but he didn't expect that Zhu Feng He had a grain supervisor by his side, but he was actually a ruthless character
The cavalry in Ningyuan City completed their assembly in the outer city.
After the city gate was opened, there was not even a moat outside the city. , so he sent his troops out of the city to form an array, because the city gate was set up to prevent Di Yi from attacking. The Ying'en Gate on the west side was less than two meters wide, so the three thousand cavalry in the city might have to go out to form an array. It will take less than half an hour to complete.
"Deploy some troops and leave the city together from North City and South City" Wang Qiong said after looking at the situation.
"What will the court do?" You are a bunch of incompetent people"
"Father"
"Shut up and follow the military orders. Do you want this Wang Liang officer to impeach you for disobedience and disrespect?"
p>
Ren Liang felt that he was full of anger and didn't know where to vent his anger.
"Eunuch Ren, the Hulu are making moves"
There will be a messenger coming soon. Come message.
Ren Liang looked at Zhu Feng angrily and said, "Uncle Anbian is here. What can you tell us? We are not blind."
It means that I can see it myself.
And I know very well that if the three Duoyan guards know that Ming’s cavalry are forming up, they will either run away or act like they are coming to harass. There is no third way to choose. The cavalry formation was completed, and no matter how hard they thought, it was impossible for the three Duoyan guards to escape at this time.
There is nothing to grab outside the city. If you don’t take the opportunity to come over now, if you can destroy Ningyuan City
"Gunner preparation"
Zhu Feng issued a military order.
He personally ordered it.
There are only twelve cannons in total, arranged within a range of about a hundred meters, which can be said to be very concentrated.
Ren Liang shook his head and ordered Qian Ying, "There are still cannons in the city that can be used. Bring them here."
Qian Ying said, "Eunuch Ren, you can't shoot that much." It’s far away, and it’s too late to bring in artillery temporarily. There are not even a hundred of them available in the west of the city.”
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty are not idlers when it comes to casting artillery.
In Ningyuan City alone, there are more than three hundred artillery pieces. Of course, the quality of these cannons is hard to describe.
But if Di Yi were to attack the city, the deterrent effect of these artillery pieces would still be very strong.
Ren Liang walked over and asked Zhu Feng again, "Uncle Anbian, please think clearly. The Wuliangha people also have powerful crossbows. They don't need to run down the city to be within the range of our cannons." Use powerful crossbows and bows to put the cavalry out in a dilemma. Unless you want to rush over and fight to the death with the excellent Mongolian cavalry, then abandon the strong fortress of Ningyuan."
Zhu Feng said, "I didn't say it all. Our cannons have a longer range."
"What's the use of these cannons no matter how far away they are?" Ren Liang was also angry, "If you have a problem in your head or want to die, then don't do it. You don’t really think that you have been with Wang Weining for a few days, and you think that Wang Weining is second to Wang Weining. Wang Weining is a madman. He is capable of madness. What do you, Zhu, have?"
See Wang Qiong Seeing that Ren Liang was losing his composure, he was afraid of pushing the eunuch too hard, so he walked over and explained, "These cannons are flower cannons." The Tartars are all fools waiting for you to smash them. No wonder the Ming Dynasty's frontier army is weak and the court has raised you bunch of bastards. I want to fry you and boil you to taste whether your meat is sour." Please remember to bookmark, website The latest and fastest free reading without anti-theft
