Zuo Zhou now feels a little sympathy for the people at Hulong Villa. These people are really worried about doing things in the Ming Dynasty. They have to take care of the affairs of the Jianghu and the court.
However, compared to the rules of respecting strength in the world, the rules of the imperial court are more disastrous. After all, the people in Hulong Villa are all secret agents in terms of official positions, and there are no formal official positions at all. If it is really serious, just anyone
The county magistrates all have higher official positions than them.
This is the same as the status of the Demon Sect in Great Qin. Everyone knows that the Demon Sect is Hu Hai's intelligence agency, but if you really meet someone who is the best, people will look down on you.
As for these officials of the Ming Dynasty, of course they will not be stubborn people, but they are a group of people who are pretending to be asleep. I will not take you seriously and will not cooperate with the investigation. Anyway, there are people above me, and Zhu ignored it.
How? We are not afraid!
Zheng Yi was Zheng He's adopted son. After the death of Navy Commander Zheng He, he temporarily commanded the entire navy. A secret decree from Nei Zhu Qizhen also made him officially the successor of Navy Commander.
In fact, if it were normal times, Zhu Qizhen would never let the family of the previous governor inherit this position. After all, this is equivalent to training a local emperor. But it seems that things are a bit urgent this time...
"As a person from Da Qin, I originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but it concerns my nanny, so I have to ask about it. Well, you don't need to answer too many questions. I'll just ask, who is Zhu Qizhen?
It’s not like you’ve been hit by a head-drop!”
Duan Tianya and Gui Haiyi were a little helpless. It was irresponsible to have the navy soldiers fight the enemy on land in such a hurry. No matter how well Zheng He trained the navy, there would still be a certain amount of time.
unsuitable.
In a word, this is not how the navy is used!
"I can't explain it in one sentence. Let's go find Wang Zuo first."
…
Just when Zuo Zhou was following Duan Tianya and others to find Wang Zuo, a ridiculous scene also occurred in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Qian(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
"Traitors and traitors! They are all traitors, traitors!"
The servants remained silent, looked at each other cryptically, and tried to hide their bodies behind pillars or trees. Although the master did not have the habit of beating or scolding the servants, they did not want to get into trouble.
After scolding for an entire hour, Yu Qian was a very polite person after all, and in the end he was not able to create any very novel way of scolding.
"Sir, the owner of Hulong Villa wants to see you!"
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, Zhu Wuwu was not following His Majesty... Oh, by the way, he just remembered that Zhu Wuwu was the controller of Hulong Villa, but he forgot that Shangguan Haitang was the owner of Hulong Villa in name.
"Shangguan Haitang has met the chief minister!"
Yu Qian took a long breath and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Haitang was quite helpless when he saw Yu Qian's somewhat cold tone, and said softly: "Master Chief Assistant, we are also helpless about Master Yan's death. You know His Majesty's character."
Mentioning Yan Yu, Yu Qian's expression became colder, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yan Yu did what he should do. Although the result was not good, he already had a clear conscience. In the Ming Dynasty, a minister who could do what he should do
You are very rare, and I will not impose any harsh demands on you. But... you were the ones who took back the defense map in the first place. You should be the ones with the most say around His Majesty, so why didn't you persuade His Majesty?"
Shangguan Haitang also said he was suffering after hearing this. Who could have imagined that things would develop like this?
The story begins two days ago. At that time, Zuo Zhou was still on the road with Yin Wenjiao, but the battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties took a dramatic turn.
According to logic, since Zhu Qizhen already knows all the enemy's arrangements, the battle should be fought openly, and there is no reason to lose.
But the Qing army suddenly made a magic move. Two elite cavalry of 3,000 people led by Erdo and Nalan Yuanshu somehow got around to the rear of the Ming army and easily robbed the army of supplies and food.
!
This shocked everyone in the front. You must know that this dispatch of troops was a war involving the entire country. Not counting the logistics personnel, the number had exceeded 500,000, which was even more exaggerated than the disaster on the earth next door.
How much can half a million mouths eat and drink in one day? Even if it is only delayed for one day, it will be a storm!
As soon as this incident came out, Zhu Wuli was held accountable on the spot. Yu Qian heard that Zhu Qizhen had ordered people to put Zhu Wuli under house arrest. Of course, from this aspect, Zhu Wuli was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise based on his
Who can control him with his cultivation base on the earth?
Now, in Zhu Qizhen's mind, the importance of that defense map has dropped sharply, to the point where he even felt that it was a trap specially set out by the enemy!
This resulted in the originally well-planned combat strategy being suddenly scrapped, and various generals being called back urgently to renegotiate countermeasures.
Because Yu Qian had been separated from the team before, and Zhu Qizhen refused to let him follow after Yan Yu's incident, he had no choice but to return to the capital to preside over government affairs.
When he learned that Zhu Qizhen was going to re-formulate his strategy, Yu Qian's hair was almost bald. Seeing that the two armies were about to collide, do you want to temporarily change the strategy at this time? Just change it. What he was most afraid of was
Yes, Zhu Qizhen insists on going his own way, what the hell is he playing!
In desperation, Yu Qian could only find his own way to break the situation, and his method was to temporarily transfer a group of elites from various yamen, and then kill the two troops from the rear who were interfering with the supply. In this way, no matter how Zhu Qizhen played, he would at least fight.
It was a war of attrition, but they were still able to maintain the situation.
However... things far exceeded Yu Qian's expectations. The Liumen, Jingying, Palace Guards and other yamen all refused to send troops for various reasons.
Yu Qian walked around and discovered a shocking problem. It turned out that the court officials never worked together at this time!
This problem is serious. Is it just a matter of official strife on their own, or have they been bribed by their enemies?
If it's the former, then that's it. In the officialdom, this is not uncommon. But if it's the latter... But unfortunately, this is not the time to investigate.
"I just received a message from the Lord Shen. We, Dragon Guard Villa, can mobilize a thousand elites for the Chief Assistant to dispatch!"
Shangguan Haitang's words made Yu Qian's eyes light up, "Fifteen hundred people? Elites? What kind of elites?"
Of course, Shangguan Haitang understood what Yu Qian meant. If your secret agent organization raises a private army, it would be a rebellion. She quickly replied, "They are all Jianghu people. We urgently recalled the secret agents. Although we have not conducted large-scale combat training,
They are both highly skilled in martial arts, and one can be as good as ten!"
Yu Qian nodded understandingly, "Without further delay, we'll set off immediately!"
…
Qing army camp
Dorgon met Tang Ruowang with a glowing face. Tang Ruowang was a master of the Earth Ranking, but the combat effectiveness of this Earth Ranking was a bit weak.
He himself comes from the Western Region, and his martial arts skills are generally very proficient in formations, astronomy and geography. In other words, it is no problem that he is a master of spells. It is precisely because of this understanding that he can pass the epiphany.
method to advance to the local rankings.
However, it has been almost ten years since he entered the Earth Ranking, and his level has not improved.
Do you think he is not in a hurry? Of course he is, but the body and the spirit are inherently unified. His mental state is sufficient, but his body has not kept up, so he has asked Dorgon for advice on body training more than once.
The relationship between people is close.
"General, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Lao Tang, you are here!"
Tang Ruowang was already over fifty years old at this time. He had a long beard and looked very old. "The general looks good. Is there a new change in the war situation?"
Dorgon laughed, "It's unintentional to say that. Originally, I wanted to seize a few cities quickly, and then steal the enemy's reinforcements to feed myself, so as to gain a firm foothold. As long as these cities can be connected into an iron chain,
The wall defense line can prevent the impact of the Qin cavalry. But what I didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty would fight with all the strength of the country, and the team I sent to rob the reinforcements of food and fodder actually robbed the supplies of the Ming Dynasty army. Hahaha, it was simply...
God help me!"
Tang Ruowang understood. He originally wanted to catch a cricket, but instead he brought up a big lobster!
"So, can the general end the battle in a short time?"
Dorgon shook his head, "As long as Ordo and Nalan Yuanshu are not eliminated for one day, the Ming army will not be able to supply food and grass in time. At this time, they have two choices, either to fight us quickly and get the result, or to
retreat."
"What about a decisive battle? What about retreat?" Tang Ruowang didn't know how to fight, but he sounded like he had the right to win.
Dorgon sneered, "The enemy is short of supplies, so it's my turn. He wants to fight me but won't fight him. I only need to retreat for a few days to defeat them. However, if he retreats, then I can only
We pursued, but unfortunately, pursuing can't achieve much results, and there are also some risks."
Tang Ruowang thought for a while and asked: "What would happen if he were replaced by a general?"
Dorgon paused and smiled and said: "If it were me, although retreating would be embarrassing, I would definitely retreat. This is the best way to reduce losses."
Tang Ruowang was a little confused when he heard this, "In that case, the general called me here to..."
Dorgon was delighted, "You may not believe it, but according to the secret report I got, the Ming army actually chose the former!"
Tang Ruowang was slightly surprised, and then sighed: "In that case, I will immediately prepare the materials to set up an array. After you capture Zhu Qizhen alive, I will start to gather the luck of the Ming Dynasty."
Dorgon nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. After this time, I will treat you to a drink when you go back."
Tang Ruowang smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to drink or something. Maybe with the blessing of luck, your level will not be able to be mentioned. By then, our Qing Kingdom will have another master on the earth rankings!"
