The Founding of the Red Chamber

When Tu Xiaosan and Governor Zhang arrived, the entire battle continued for five days. However, the reinforcements from Zhejiang and Fujian had arrived, and the outcome of the war was already doomed.When Tu and Zhang entered the city, Governor Zheng was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and grabbed the hands of Tu Xiaosan and Governor Zhang, his voice choked up.

Both Tuzhang and Zhang were also full of exhaustion and joy. They both understood that the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River had been decided in this battle.

Mu Rong was waiting for Governor Zheng to express his excitement. Fang went forward to meet Tuzhang and the two. Governor Zhang couldn't help praising, "The girl is indeed a heroine. If there is no girl who sticks to Jinling, there will be no great victory against the Japanese today." .”

Mu Rongqian said, "Just do your best."

Governor Zhang praised Mu Rong very much. These praises were not out of politeness. Days of siege.Even Governor Zhang himself did not dare to say that he was sure of this, but Murong did it.Governor Zhang had to sigh, even though she was a woman, she was stronger than [-]% of men in this world.

Tu Xiaosan didn't say anything, but gave Mu Rong an encouraging look.

Governor Zheng also met Governor Xia after the two of Tuzhang. Governor Xia said, "I saw the army coming to help Jinling, so I came here together." The subordinates under his command are short of manpower, and he failed to rush to help in time, please forgive me." After speaking, he gave a deep bow.

Although Governor Zheng is ignorant of military affairs, he is very reasonable. Governor Zheng raised Governor Xia with both hands, and said, "If you hit a stone with an egg before, you have lost to me. Now you are well, and our soldiers in Jinling are well. I'm relieved." Thinking that there are still two troops sent by Governor Zheng to rescue Yangzhou and Jiangning, but there is no news, Governor Zheng should be thankful that Governor Xia is safe and sound.

After meeting each other, Murong wanted to stay and organize the army first, and Governor Xia and Prefect Fan took over the post-war affairs. Governor Zheng first asked Tu Zhang to settle in the Governor's Mansion. Governor Zheng even had countless Questions to ask about the war against the Japanese.

You know, Governor Zheng had written all the wills before.

Actually, it's really a long story.

Governor Zhang and Governor Zheng sat in Zhaomu, and when the servants served tea, Governor Zheng asked about this matter.Governor Zhang said, "I was invited by General Lin. I heard that there were Japanese bandits besieging Jinling. I didn't think much about it, so I sent troops here. I'd better ask General Lin to tell you. He knows best about this battle."

Tu Xiaosan drank a cup of tea first, and he was really thirsty. Governor Zheng hurriedly ordered his attendants to serve another cup of tea. Several people were stationed in Zhapu, Songjiang, and Chuanshawa respectively. These three places were also newly recaptured territories. I really didn't expect the Japanese bandits to come to these people. Later, Zhapu and Chuanshawa couldn't defend I had no choice but to join forces in Songjiang. Seeing the Japanese bandits attacking so aggressively, I immediately wanted to lead my troops to Jinling, but in the end, the Japanese bandits dragged me to Songjiang, unable to move. Later, I heard that there was another A large number of Japanese bandits are going to the land of Suyang. I can't feel at ease for a moment in my heart. Huaiyang has just been captured by Japanese bandits. Although I have organized the army, it is just that it takes at least a year and a half for the army to practice. Zai Cai has a certain appearance. At this moment, let alone others, those vacancies in the army may not be able to make up for the soldiers. The momentum of the Japanese bandits is not as good as before. We Huaiyang, the city of prosperity through the ages Jinling, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangning, which one is not a very rich place. I can't get away here, and I am worried that the Japanese bandits are coming menacingly, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. I thought, or go north to ask for help, or go south Asking for help, regardless of the court, or Zhejiang and Fujian, I sent several scouts. Later, Governor Zhang sent General Ji to relieve me of the siege of Songjiang. Governor Zhang personally led the army and came to Jinling. After defeating the Japanese bandits in Songjiang, we Immediately, General Ji ordered troops to come, met Governor Zhang in Suzhou, and Governor Xia, who also ordered troops to come with us. Fortunately, with the blessing of heaven, Jinling has Miss Mu in charge of military affairs, and finally the siege of Jinling was resolved. And after this big victory, I think the Japanese bandits are no longer ready for such a big battle, even if there is another war, it will be just a small battle."

Governor Zheng sighed again and again, "God bless Jiangnan." Then, he stood up solemnly to thank Governor Zhang, and Governor Zhang hurriedly returned the gift, saying, "Japanese bandits are a big problem for us in Jiangnan. Don't say that Huaiyang is adjacent to Zhejiang and Fujian, just ask Ask the people in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't have a blood feud with the Japanese bandits?"

Governor Zheng said, "It's also thanks to Brother Zhang who came in time, otherwise, in a few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to support here."

Everyone said that in the Huaiyang War, although Governor Zheng was the one who had written the will, but in the end, this battle was a big victory, and it was also a big victory during his administration. Governor Zheng said It would be false if he was not happy, and that night, he held a banquet to wait for Governor Zhang.Governor Zhang said, "After the war, there are all kinds of affairs, not to mention, there are still people and soldiers who need to be appeased. The banquet will be skipped, and it will be the same to eat in the future. As the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, although the situation is so far In the end, they sent troops to Huaiyang without imperial orders. I will take the soldiers back to Zhejiang and Fujian tomorrow, and come to receive brother Zheng's banquet in the next day."

Governor Zheng said, "Even if we have to leave tomorrow, we always have to eat dinner." Governor Zhang must be frugal, not extravagant.Governor Zheng smiled and said, "It's hard to want to be extravagant now. It's just commonplace."

Tu Xiaosan also persuaded him.

Governor Zhang smiled and agreed.

The dinner was held for the officials and generals of both sides. Everyone escaped death, especially the Huaiyang officials, who were very grateful to Governor Zhang.After all, Tu Xiaosan sent urgent letters for help from south to north, and in the end, only Governor Zhang arrived. At such a moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-saving grace.

Governor Zheng, in particular, has already thought about how to play the governor of Zhili who is in charge of military affairs in Shandong.

On the second day, early in the morning, Governor Zhang led the army to bid farewell to Huaiyang and returned to Zhejiang and Fujian.

On the way back, Governor Zhang was still unsmiling and solemn, as if winning such a big victory was nothing special.After returning to the governor's yamen in Hangzhou, Mr. He greeted him in front of the door. Governor Zhang slightly raised his head and asked, "Is there nothing going on in the yamen these few days?"

Mr. He said, "Everything is going well, there is nothing important."

Governor Zhang didn't care about washing, so he went into the study with Mr. He first, and dismissed the attendants. Governor Zhang showed a gleam of joy on his face, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that you didn't go with me. This battle was really fun!"

Mr. He cupped the tea and said with a smile, "Although this subordinate did not go with your lord, after hearing the good news from Huaiyang, you know that everything will go well for your lord."

"It's not only smooth." Governor Zhang took a sip of tea and said, "You don't know, this time, the Japanese bandits must have spelled out their family fortune. Do you know how many troops they dispatched?"

Mr. He said, "It must not be less than [-], otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to ask General Lin to ask for help."

"More than that." Governor Zhang said, "I'm afraid only the Japanese bandits themselves know the exact number, but I'll make a calculation and it must be no less than 8."

Even Mr. He was not shocked when he heard the number, "There are so many!"

"So, I'm afraid I've taken out all my family's money." Governor Zhang smiled and put the teacup on the Begonia table by his hand, and leaned back comfortably on the couch, forming a relaxed state that was quite different from the previous descriptions. Looking around, he said with a smile, "Ah, I am happy not because of this great victory, but because after the victory, it will be difficult for the Japanese bandits to become popular again." After speaking, Governor Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although this battle was beyond Mr. He's expectation, Mr. He was also very happy when he heard Governor Zhang's words, and said with a smile, "This is really great."

"Yes." Governor Zhang said, "Jiangnan's confidant is in serious trouble, let's go."

The joy of Governor Zhang is not all about his official career, but also because Jiangnan's victory will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and it will be a special book.And he, who played the role of setting star in this battle, can naturally leave his name in history.

Yes, the higher the official position, the consideration is far more than fame and wealth, but fame in the more far-reaching life and death.

Governor Zhang can rest when he returns to Hangzhou, while Tu Lin and the two are still busy, discussing post-war matters, and the two are going to visit Miss Mu Rongmu who is recuperating at home.In this battle of Jinling, Miss Mu became famous in Jinling City. In the past, the great families in Jinling were like the Cao Gang, but after this battle, Rao, who is a member of the officialdom, is more polite to the Cao Gang.Mu Qiuting himself was also injured, and many brothers from the Cao Gang died in order to protect Jinling.Fortunately, Governor Zheng didn't chill everyone, he wrote a plaque for the Cao Gang saying "The Great Hero", and even came to visit Miss Mu in person.Mu Qiuting also loves his younger sister very much, now that the war is over, Mu Qiuting asked his younger sister to rest at home to recuperate.

Murong was flipping through a military book in his room, when he saw the two of them arrived, he immediately got up to meet them.Lin Jing said, "Sister Arong, you can just sit down."

Seeing that Tu Xiaosan was still carrying something, Mu Rong smiled and said, "Come to my house, what gift do you want?"

Lin Jing smiled, "I wanted to come here a long time ago, I know that you don't lack these things here, sister Arong, but this is our intention."

Mu Rong invited the two of them to sit down, and when the maid served tea, Mu Rong sent the maid away.Lin Jing was very concerned about Mu Rong, and asked, "Is Miss A Rong feeling better?"

Murong said, "It's nothing serious, there's nothing wrong now, my brother keeps nagging, I'll just come back and rest for two days."

Lin Jing said, "It's good that Sister Arong is fine. This time, thanks to Sister Arong. In this battle, Sister Arong should take the lead."

"That's absurd." Murong looked at Lin and Tu and said softly, "If my predictions are correct, even without me, I'm afraid that Jinling would not be robbed by Japanese bandits."

Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, "Why did Sister Arong say that?"

Murong said, "Ah Qing, General, we have known each other for many years. From Yancheng to Quanzhou, I and you have gone through many wars to suppress Japanese. It was the most dangerous Quanzhou war. Ask Ah Qing to stay in Quanzhou, and the general will lead people out of the city to inspect. This time in Jinling, the general did not leave a single soldier behind, and he even took Ah Qing and the general to Songjiang. Those who stayed in Jinling were only the original Jinling soldiers. That's all. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. Later, before the general left, Ah Qing left me a new set of semaphore, and told me to read it and burn it. When the Japanese bandits besieged the city, I would Think, you may have been prepared for this war."

Lin Jing praised, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Sister Arong." Lin Jing had to sigh, Murong's vision is really good, at least, it is a hundred times better than Governor Zheng.

With clear eyes, Murong said, "I don't understand one thing."

Lin Jing said, "Sister Arong, please tell me."

"Since you are prepared for the war, why didn't you come to rescue Jinling City earlier. Do you know that among the five thousand soldiers and horses in Jinling, less than 500 survived in the end! Not to mention my Cao Gang brothers, the dead and injured , are not in the minority! Do you know, besides Jinling, how many towns and people are there who have been raped?" Mu Rong said with complicated emotions. She and Tu Lin had known each other for more than a day. Everyone's perception of officials is different, Murong has never seen them fish for the common people, and there has never been anything greedy or despicable.However, in this battle, regardless of the soldiers killed in the battle, it is the people affected by the battle, how can it be a village and a town?

Lin Jing's face gradually became serious. After hearing what Mu Rong said, he said, "With this big victory, Jinling City will be able to live in peace in the future, with 10,000+ people. The entire Huaiyang, and hundreds of thousands of people, can We will no longer be disturbed by Japanese bandits. Fishermen can go fishing in the sea with peace of mind, merchants can carry their goods to and from the north and south with peace of mind, and even the people outside the city can sleep peacefully and live a peaceful life.”

"War is never for war. The purpose of war is for the peace of the world." Lin Jing put his hands on his knees casually, and said to Mu Rong, "Since Sister Arong sees that we have already prepared for this war, I will fight with you." Sister Arong, let me explain in detail. When I received the transfer order from the imperial court, I discussed it with the General. According to the General's reputation, if the Japanese bandits attack Huaiyang, it must be when the General's foundation is not stable? The best time is naturally when the general first arrives in Huaiyang. If the Japanese bandits win a big victory when the general first arrives in Huaiyang, the situation in Huaiyang will be even more serious, and it will be a blow to the reputation of the general. It is also huge. Instead of waiting for the Japanese bandits to attack, we will start a game first. This game is a game to lure the enemy. The general made the move to retake Songjiang, and led his troops east to the coast to recover the former Japanese bandits. Moreover, since the general had cleared the army when he first arrived in Huaiyang, the opposition to the general in Huaiyang is naturally the strongest at this moment. Therefore, the general must be eager to make meritorious deeds in order to consolidate his power. This is coming to Huaiyang Yang's first battle was the battle to seize Songjiang. This battle was indeed won. Huaiyang began to retrain troops, and all the insufficient soldiers began to replenish one after another. If the Japanese bandits did not send troops again, they would have no chance in the future. 2 soldiers, and according to the convenient location, with the [-] elite soldiers under the general, the Japanese bandits want to win a big victory, and finally need [-]. If the Japanese bandits want a big victory to completely defeat Huaiyang, then, except To deal with the general's army, there must also be an army that plundered the inland of Huaiyang. We have made many preparations before the war. We have dealt with Japanese bandits a lot. Similarly, Japanese bandits have also fought with us. A lot of dealings. This time the Japanese bandits are far more cunning than before. You must have noticed that the Japanese bandits' style of fighting in the army is learned from our military middle school. Even when they arrived in the inland of Huaiyang, they were still cautious and surrounded the Soviet Union. Looking at the strength of the army, do you think they didn't suspect that we are inviting you into the urn? The Japanese bandits have been fighting extremely cautiously. If they don't consume their combat power, it will be too difficult to keep them when the army rushes in. You say That's right, the general could have rushed to help Jinling long ago, but you have to know that the difference between an excellent commander and a mediocre official is that it is extremely difficult and dangerous to run Jinling City. As long as Jinling City can be defended, even if all Jinling defenders They all sacrificed their lives for the country, and the general will wait for the second reinforcement of the Japanese bandits, and then attack when they can't leave even if they want to. And a waste can only be sent to rescue Suzhou when it asks for help, and send troops to rescue Yangzhou when it asks for help. Yangzhou!"

"It's a joke! If you can't complete this work in one battle, how many people, officials, and soldiers will lose their lives because of the Japanese bandits in the future! Let me tell you, it is far from today's count!" Lin Jing looked at Mu Rong seriously, and said in a deep voice , "In the future, all the peaceful years brought about by the war will thank you."

Murong was silent for a while, and then he let out a long sigh.

After the Mu family left, the two returned to the General's Mansion, Tu Xiaosan said, "You speak too harshly, I think Miss Mu has been feeling sad for a while."

Lin Jing sighed, "I heard that when Governor Zheng wanted to divide his troops to save Su Yang's land, Sister Arong also strongly opposed it."

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "People are like this. Seeing so many people die, and Ms. Mu is a girl's family, she would think, if we had come here earlier, wouldn't these people not die, but would survive."

"Sister Arong's luck, I don't know if it's good or bad. If she had slowly recovered from the small battles, she probably wouldn't be so confused. It's no wonder that she encountered such a bitter battle suddenly." Lin Lin Jing asked, "Third brother, will you be like this when you first took charge of the war?"

Tu Xiaosan thought for a while, "I hope that fewer people will die."

Lin Jing just asked casually and didn't take it to heart.But Tu Xiaosan thought in his heart that he had never encountered such a situation before in wars. To be honest, he really wanted to rush to rescue Jinling City at the beginning, even Governor Zhang, and he was always worried. What should Jinling City do if it can't hold on?If steel casts iron to cast a heart, it must be Lin Jing, and Lin Jing is the one who can hold on the most.Even if he exchanged his son for his son, Lin Jing was not moved at all, so after the second reinforcement from the Japanese bandits, seven days later, Lin Jingfang sent them to rush to help Jinling City.

Tu Xiaosan really felt that fighting against the Japanese, including suppressing bandits outside the customs, fighting for territory, or going to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion, even if he made great achievements in battle, he was still not as decisive as he was in controlling the timing of such a major battle. Lin Jing's.

Everything after the war is just a matter of time, and it will not be too late to arrange it slowly.However, the post-war affairs have not been properly arranged, and the list of military achievements has not yet been sorted out. Governor Zheng first sent a large ginseng to the court. Do you think the governor of Zhili is the spy of Japanese bandits?Otherwise, how can you watch from the sidelines when Jinling City is in danger?

It has to be said that Governor Zheng's book ignited the flames of war between the North and the South directly after ending the plague of Japanese bandits!

When Lin Jing knew about this, it was time for the governor of Zhili to directly impeach the governor of Zhejiang and Minzhang for sending troops without an imperial order.Lin Jing originally thought that the governor of Zhili had taken the wrong medicine, but after inquiring, it turned out that Governor Zheng had taken the wrong medicine. Lin Jing was really angry with Governor Zheng. Is this person mentally ill?Or, do you have a brain?
