Daming Junior Scholar

"...Eh?" Wang Shouren thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What Mr. He said makes sense, drink, drink."

After drinking a few more cups, the topic of the two of them finally shifted to business. Wang Shouren said seriously: "According to reports from the scouts, King Ning has been staying in Paju and hasn't left yet. I don't know what he's up to."

"What else can I do, I killed his son, and I can't find anyone to take revenge on, so I'm naturally sulking." He Jiaan smiled and drank the wine in his glass.

When talking about Zhu Yi, Wang Shouren's expression was a little hesitant, and he said in a low voice: "Master He, there is actually a sentence that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"If you and I are embarrassed to speak up, please tell us quickly."

"Is there something wrong with Master He's handling of this matter? Then Zhu Yi has already been caught, why not take it away, think about it, Long Live Today...don't you just like this?"

Wang Shouren swallowed the "great joy" that was already on his lips, but He Jia'an should understand the meaning of his words.

Sure enough, He Jiaan showed a knowing smile, but sighed: "Then Zhu Yi also has a relationship with me as a teacher and apprentice. If I fall into my hands, I can still leave him with a whole body, but if he is delivered In front of the emperor... hey."

Sighing softly, Wang Shouren immediately understood the meaning of He Jiaan's words, and he himself had heard He Jiaan talk about the grievances between him and Zhu Yi, so ending it in such a way could be regarded as an end.

The atmosphere in the air was a bit heavy, and after drinking another glass of wine, Wang Shouren continued to ask: "Lord He, what should we do next? Should we wait for the emperor's army to arrive, or did we plan to surround Nanchang and bring King Ning back to the army? And set up an ambush halfway to annihilate it?"

When asked, He Jiaan hesitated for a moment, raised his head and asked suddenly: "Master Wang, I have something to ask you, you must tell the truth."

"Master He, please tell me." Probably the seriousness on He Jiaan's face frightened Wang Shouren, and he seemed a little nervous.

After a pause, He Jia'an suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Wang want to be promoted or to get rich?"

Uh?

What does it mean?

Wang Shouren was taken aback for a moment, a little confused about what He Jiaan meant when he said this.

"What does Master He mean?"

"If you want to get promoted, go back and lead people to surround Nanchang immediately, force King Ning to return to the army for rescue, and then attack him halfway, and you will surely catch King Ning. If you want to make a fortune, you don't have to wait for King Ning to return to the army. I will send someone to help you With a single arm, they quickly breached the Nanchang Mansion, and at that time King Ning has no way out, and the only way to go is to cross the river, and he might just pass by Mr. Wang and hit the Emperor's army just in time."

"This..." To be honest, Wang Shouren wants to be promoted and get rich, but after thinking about it, what He Jiaan said makes sense. It seems that you can't have both, you can get promoted or get rich. If you snatch both, I'm afraid it will upset other people too.

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren said in a low voice, "I'm going for promotion."

"Okay, since this is the case, Master Wang will quickly lead people to attack Nanchang Mansion. The more urgent the situation is, the faster King Ning will withdraw. If we attack halfway, we will surely win the battle."

Wang Shouren nodded emphatically: "Then if this is the case, I will go ashore here and lead people to attack Nanchang immediately."

He Jiaan raised the wine glass, held it up and said with a smile: "Then I wish Mr. Wang every success."

"Thank you, Mr. He."

After drinking, Wang Shouren got up and wanted to leave, but while the boat was docking, he still had something he couldn't figure out, so he took this opportunity to ask in a low voice: "Master He, I have something else to say. I want to ask a question, but I don’t know if Mr. He can answer it.”

"What?"

"Although Mr. He doesn't have a lot of troops, but with so many gunboats and Fran's machine guns, even if he fights with King Ning, he may not be far behind. But why did Mr. He give up Paju and give Paju to Ning for nothing? What about the king? And this credit, if you give it all to me, I'm afraid Mr. He won't have much."

"Hehehe." He Jiaan showed an indescribable smile, looked at the distance leisurely, and said lightly: "In terms of strength, King Ning and I are just brothers, but if we fight hard, we will definitely lose. In the end, I have saved this family fortune for so many years, so naturally I can't give it away easily. Only fools are willing to do reckless things. I don't have any ambitions to be an official. Let's do it, my lord."

"This..." Wang Shouren shook his head with a wry smile. Hearing what He Jiaan said, he dared to feel that he was more like a fool desperately pursuing an official position, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. He is really different. If you really want to be promoted , I am afraid that apart from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, other positions are no longer favored."

"If this one wins the battle, it will all be due to Mr. He. Wang is not the one who swallowed up the merits of the war. He must report Mr. He's credit to the emperor."

"This..." Before He Jiaan could refuse, the boat had already stopped on the pier. Wang Shouren jumped and landed on the pier. He clasped his fist at He Jiaan: "Master He, take your leave."

Chapter 1516 Nanchang is in Danger

Chapter 1516 Nanchang is in Danger

For the sake of an empty city, not only did he lose his most capable subordinate, but he also took the life of his own son. Is this the retribution God gave him?

In this empty city, King Ning stayed for several days, sitting in the lobby of the government office all day long, looking at the sky dully, thinking in his mind that maybe He Jiaan usually sits in this position, just like himself Look up at the sky.

Just when King Ning was imagining whether he would be like He Jiaan, relying on his own army to sweep across the entire Ming Dynasty, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and when he got closer, the footsteps weakened a lot, and then a voice Carefully said: "Long Live Lord, Lord Xu please see me."

"No." King Ning refused coldly without even raising his eyelids.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Zhang Tian's face, and he reminded carefully in a low voice: "Long live, General Xu said that there is an urgent military report."

"No matter how urgent it is, I won't listen to it, just let him make up his own mind." King Ning became more and more impatient.

"I heard that it has something to do with Nanchang Mansion." Zhang Tian boldly said again.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Nanchang Mansion, Ning Wang Teng sat up straight, stared wide-eyed, and scolded: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier? Hurry up and let Mr. Xu come in. "

In Zhang Tian's heart, this was a grievance. He told you that there was an urgent military situation, but you always ignored it. If he hadn't had the courage to remind him, he might have left long ago.

Complaining in his heart, but still not daring to show any expression on his face, Zhang Tian hurried out and walked out. After a short time, Xu Jiuling and Li Shishi came to King Ning hand in hand.

After seeing King Ning in a hurry, King Ning couldn't wait to ask: "What happened, why are the two lovers so panicked?"

The expression on Xu Jiuling's face tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Return to Your Majesty, there is an urgent official document from Nanchang Mansion, saying that Wang Shouren, the censor of Zuoqian Capital, led troops to suddenly besiege Nanchang. The attack is very fierce. Your Majesty needs to return to the city to slow down."

"Who? Wang Shouren?" When King Ning heard this, the name was a little strange. If he said He Jiaan, he would still believe it, but who was Wang Shouren?

Thinking of this, King Ning asked suspiciously: "Don't Nanchang Mansion still have so many Franc machine guns, why can't even defend a city? What does Liu Yangzheng, a waste, eat?"

The Liu Yangzheng that King Ning was talking about was his right prime minister, and he stayed in Nanchang to guard this time. Unexpectedly, such a small matter would be done by him like this, and he still had the face to ask him for help.

After scolding, I can't let go of my anger. After all, I have a lot of responsibility for the war like this. I rushed over aggressively with 20 troops, but in the end I only got this empty city, let alone imagined it. Fran's machine guns and battleships, He Jia'an didn't even save his saliva. He actually blocked all the wells in the city.

Nanchang had to be rescued, it was his old nest, without Nanchang, his army would become a rootless duckweed, after thinking about it, King Ning wearily ordered: "Right up the army and return to Nanchang mansion quickly. "

"Yes." Xu Jiuling responded first, and then carefully said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. If the army calls back, I'm afraid the speed will not be too fast. If the rescue is delayed, it may be inappropriate."

"Then according to Xu Aiqing's meaning?" King Ning thought for a while, and felt that Xu Jiuling was more thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Why don't you personally lead a cavalry force back to Nanchang for rescue, while Your Majesty personally leads the army to the ferry, trying to cross the Yangtze River as soon as possible, and go directly to Nanjing Mansion as originally planned."

This idea is not bad. Let Xu Jiuling lead the army to rescue Nanchang Mansion. Presumably, he should be able to solve the siege of Nanchang, and he himself will lead the army to attack Nanjing. The defense of Nanjing is the contemporary Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, a well-known coward. A Japanese pirate can scare him to death, and when his army arrives, he will definitely raise his hand and surrender immediately.

Thinking of this, King Ning was filled with pride and ambition, nodded and said: "Xu Aiqing is right, but you need to coordinate the next battle. It is better to leave it to Li Aiqing to save Nanchang."

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely guard Nanchang firmly, and will not let those Xiaoxiao get their way."

When King Ning heard this, he was very satisfied, and soon the army that stayed in Paju was divided into two groups. Li Shishi personally led 18 soldiers and horses to Nanchang, while King Ning took the remaining [-] troops to the Yangtze River. Drive in along the coast.

In the past few years, I have been secretly collecting all kinds of boats on both sides of the Yangtze River, just for the day when I cross the river. As long as there are no accidents, this city of Nanjing will be in the palm of my hand.

Compared with King Ning, Li Shishi moved faster. He left Paju quickly with [-] cavalry and rushed towards Nanchang Mansion. If all goes well, within three days, the army will be Return to Nanchang City.

While marching towards Nanchang Mansion, Li Shishi scolded Xu Jiuling in his heart. He kindly helped him become a celebrity in King Ning's eyes. Unexpectedly, he sold himself out as soon as he flipped his hands. Who didn't know that returning to Nanchang Mansion was a It was a thankless task, and it was expected to solve the siege of Nanchang. If I arrived late, it would be my responsibility.
