Chapter 5: In front of the White Tiger Hall, people with different thoughts
On January 20, the second year of the Great Tomorrow, in Guangning City, western Liaoning, the sky is covered with heavy snow.
In the military meeting hall of the governor's yamen, all the generals gathered.
"Urgent detection, the Manchurian army has taken advantage of the night to cross the Liao River from Haizhou and come to the west. At this time, it is more than a hundred miles away from Siping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, and Xixing Fort, our second line of defense."
Wang Huazhen ordered someone to read out the contents of the investigation report to everyone. The generals in the hall looked at each other with different expressions.
The Chinese guerrilla Sun Degong, who was sitting at the bottom, frowned at first, then relaxed and lifted himself up from the armchair, as if he had something to say.
The Guangning counselor Bao Chengxian next to him had a dark complexion, glanced at Sun Degong, and made no move again. It seemed that he was following his lead.
Dashou, the guerrilla ancestor of the Chinese Army, closed his eyes to rest and could not see his expression clearly. His ancestral home was a prominent family in Liaodong and had a deep foundation. On weekdays, even Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen would give him face.
Ningyuan's deputy commander Qi Bingzhong turned red and snorted coldly, looking quite angry at the news that Jianzhou had sent troops to invade western Liaoning.
Gao Bangzuo, who participated in politics, and Jiang Chaodong, who participated in politics, looked at Wang Huazhen and only Shangguan discussed.
Wang Qi, who was sitting at the bottom of the crowd, took in the expressions and movements of everyone and just wanted to say: "It's wonderful!"
In the Little White Tiger Hall, the generals have different thoughts. Some are active in fighting, some are timid, some are betraying their masters and seeking glory, some are wavering, and some are just sitting back and reaping the benefits.
With such mutual constraints among the generals, it would be difficult for Nurhaci to lose.
"Jianzhou is attacking Guangning. The enemy is very close. Who among you will take the initiative to ask for help?" When Wang Huazhen spoke, he took the initiative to look at Sun Degong, who was in the next position.
The plan has been set for a long time, it just depends on its implementation now!
"Sir, Jianzhou is rampant, ignorant of God's grace, and brazenly attacking. The last general is willing to lead troops to support Siping Fort and kill all invading enemies!" Wang Huazhen's words had just finished, and the Chinese guerrilla Sun Degong had already stood up.
He stood up, bowed his hands to the governor, and then expressed his opinion in a dignified manner. After speaking, he looked around: "Please just wait here for the news of my victorious return!"
"The last general is willing to accompany General Sun to Siping Fort to support General Luo." Bao Cheng, who was beside Sun Degong, saw that his elder brother had already asked for orders, so he quickly got up.
After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Huazhen did not directly agree, but just nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, lowered his head and took a sip.
What is uncle waiting for?
Wang Qi was sitting at the end, and when he glanced around, he saw the Chinese guerrilla, Zu Dashou, who was still there.
The ancestor's family has controlled Liao for generations and has many elite soldiers and generals. Zu Dashou himself is also a famous general in Liaodong and is quite handsome.
Jiangzhou invaded here on a large scale and was obviously bound to win, so Wang Huazhen thought that relying solely on Sun Degong's troops was not enough! General Luo Yiguan of Siping Fort urged Wang Huazhen. Siping is the gateway to Guangning, and if Siping Fort is there, then Guangzhou will
It is better to defend, if Siping is lost, Guangning will be lost...
Therefore... in this battle of Siping, if there are soldiers from the ancestral family joining in, the chances of winning will be greatly increased!
"It is the ancestral family's duty to share your worries and defend the land!" Zu Dashou looked expressionless. He first glanced at Wang Qi, who was sitting by the door, and then continued in a nonchalant manner: "However, the general will move forward.
Tian actually heard some rumors..."
"General Zu, you might as well say it straight! There is nothing unreasonable to say to others about important matters of the family and the country, and I have a clear conscience for this!" Wang Huazhen frowned, and for a while he didn't understand what Zu Dashou meant.
"Haha... The last general heard that there was a king of hundreds of households who wanted to be the first to abandon the city when his country fell. Wouldn't such an act be confusing? It would make all the generals feel chilled?"<
/p>
Is there a Wang Baihu?
Zu Dashou almost didn’t name him.
For a time, all the generals were talking about it, and their eyes were focused on a young man at the door.
The nephew of the governor, a dandy in the yamen, one of the hundreds of households in Guangning——Wang Qi.
Hearing this, Wang Huazhen was stunned. First she felt guilty, and then she felt a sense of joy.
Fortunately, Wang Qi asked himself to stay and defend the city last night!
If not, everything will be over if Zu Dashou generals the army on this occasion!
Thinking of this, Wang Huazhen subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead...
At this time, the discussion in the military meeting hall was already very loud.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Qi did not show any signs of panic. He straightened his sleeves and stood up slowly, neither humble nor arrogant. He glanced around for a while, then raised his hands in greeting: "Wang Qi pays homage to the governor and has met all the generals."<
/p>
"I wonder who the surname of the Wang Baihu mentioned by General Zu is? Can you tell Wang Qi? I will definitely kill this officer!" After Wang Qi finished speaking, he walked to the center of the hall, his face as thick as a city wall, just like the king mentioned by Zu Dashou.
There are other people in the hundred households, and all I can see is that they are upright and solemn, and their voices are like loud bells:
"In this critical time of survival, whoever dares to give up or escape first is the sinner of Guangning City, the sinner of Liaodong, and the sinner of the Ming Dynasty! The crime is to be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and it should be spread to nine sides!
”
Wang Qi's performance was very intense. If he hadn't heard of this ridiculous behavior in the office, everyone would have clapped and applauded.
"Haha..." Zu Dashou has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to life and death. Naturally, he will not be frightened by Wang Qi with just a few words. He looked at Wang Qi sideways and said, "Who is that person? That general is also
I want to ask Wang Yanei, you are a small official of a hundred households, what are you doing here today?"
According to the military system, today's discussion, a small official of a hundred households can't even get close to the gate... Based on the etiquette system, today everyone here is the first-level general of the army and generals. Wang Qi should kneel down to receive the ceremony!
But it seems that Wang Qi has no intention of lowering his official position at all. Instead, he walked into Zu Dashou and looked at this Liaodong warlord whose name was left in history. The famous wallflower said in a deep voice: "Although my official position is small, I still have the responsibility to serve the country."
It means that here today, Wang Qi will put life and death aside and will lead the twenty-seven soldiers in the mansion to follow General Sun to support Siping Fort and block the invading enemy! If Siping Fort is lost, Wang Qi will die in the battle.
!"
Hiss...
As soon as Wang Qi said these words, there was a burst of discussion in the palace.
I am used to hearing about dandies bullying men and dominating women, but I have never heard of a senior official going to war for the country.
Moreover, Wang Qi's identity is not an ordinary pawn of a hundred households. He is the nephew of Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong...
With such a sensitive identity, he claimed to stick to Guangning.
The uneasy thoughts of the generals gradually calmed down, and most of them looked at Zu Dashou. The meaning was already obvious: Wang Huazhen pushed out all his nephews to show his determination, and your ancestral family still wants to
Sit on the dry bank and watch the show?
When the time comes, Wang Huazhen delivers a piece of memorial to the emperor's case. Even though the various parties in the imperial court are constantly criticizing each other, when military generals take over power and support their own troops, the common hatred among civilian officials will also be too much for the ancestors.
"Ahem." Faced with Wang Qi's statement, Zu Dashou was really thick-skinned. He still picked up the tea cup and drank it down with an expressionless expression. Then with a smile, he looked at Wang Qi and praised: "It's okay to be dandy, but it's okay to be dandy."
Those who are bloody are men!"
After saying this, he stood up and bowed to Wang Huazhen, who was in the first position: "The general is willing to lead the troops and set off immediately to support Siping, suppress Wu Fort, and block Jiannu's troops!"
"Okay!" Wang Huazhen was overjoyed when she saw this, and reached out to pat the chair:
"The Chinese army guerrillas Zu Dashou and Sun Degong. General Bao Chengxian leads all ministries to immediately support Siping Fort and joins forces with deputy general Luo Guanyin! The future criminal slaves will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
"General Qi Bingzhong and political officer Gao Bangzuo are stationed at the city defense!"
"General Jiang Chaodong is responsible for the layout of the city to prevent Xiaoxiao from taking the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Finally, Wang Huazhen looked at her nephew: "Wang Qi, you follow General Sun to Siping..." The governor's tone was obviously caring, but in the end he added: "I hope you come back victorious!"
It will be night, January 20, the second year of the Great Tomorrow, and it will snow heavily.
Chapter completed!
