982 defeated, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge
If Mr. Jiao came into the palace two days ago to talk to him about the appointment of Jiangnan officials, then it is really possible that he nodded in agreement.
When he thought of this possibility, the old emperor became very depressed.
However, the emperor will not make mistakes, the mistakes are all those under his command.
The old emperor slapped the table angrily and said, "Why don't you tell me more about such a big matter?"
"Your Majesty... minister, minister..." After hearing the old emperor's almost rogue shirk of responsibility, Mr. Jiao no longer wanted to speak.
Although this matter was planned by him, is it really good to be an emperor who has no objection at all and just passes the responsibility to his ministers whenever something goes wrong?
He sighed secretly, no matter what he thought in his heart, Mr. Jiao had a look of fear on his face, and he apologized in great panic, "I understand that I am guilty, and please forgive me, Your Majesty." All the mistakes he made are his fault, and the Emperor will never make mistakes.
.
Although the old emperor passed the responsibility to Mr. Jiao, he was not so stupid that he did not know right from wrong. When Mr. Jiao took the initiative to plead guilty, the old emperor punished him to stay at home and meditate for three months.
As for three months from now?
Judging from Mr. Jiao's performance in the past three months, as long as Mr. Jiao does not commit any serious crimes, it is not difficult to be reinstated.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Master Jiao was very satisfied with this punishment.
Comparing with General Feng, Mr. Jiao thought that he was too much higher. He was also working for the emperor's grandson, but General Feng had himself imprisoned and had his children at home. It was a complete failure.
Look at him, he was also working for the emperor's grandson. Not only did he handle the matter properly, but he and his family were also safe and sound.
This is called the way to be an official!
The old emperor punished Mr. Jiao, but he could not take back the appointment letter he sent out. Jun Wu's joke was not just about words, but strict implementation. Once the appointment document was written, no matter how dissatisfied the old emperor was, he could only hold his nose and accept it.
Fortunately, when Qin Jiyan selected Jiangnan officials, he considered all aspects and did not blindly use his own people or install his own cronies.
Seeing the roster of new officials in Jiangnan, the old emperor was very satisfied and did not pursue the fault of Qin Jiyan and Mr. Jiao anymore. He held the matter up high and put it down gently.
After Master Feng heard this, he only said to Feng Sijin at home: "Have you seen Master Jiao? He looks honest and honest, but he is actually a traitor. You should be more careful in the future."
It is really not easy for Mr. Jiao to escape unscathed from such an errand.
After the baptism of war, Feng Sijin became less dignified and more steady. Hearing Lord Feng's words, he nodded and chuckled.
Although Mr. Jiao was the second assistant, the fact that he was punished did not cause much disturbance. When the ministers heard the news, they sighed for a while, and after discussing for a while, they decided to do whatever they should do next.
There were a few ambitious people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sit in the position of junior assistant, but before they could take action, they were dealt with by Lord Feng.
With Lord Feng here, no matter what happens inside, the court will still be full of flowers on the outside, with civil and military officials performing their duties, everything is in order, and it will not become different just because anyone is missing...
Life in the capital remains unchanged, but life in Jiangnan has changed dramatically!
At first, Jing Yan thought the rain would only last for a day or two, but he didn't expect the heavy rain to last for half a month!
It rained heavily for half a month, and Jing Yan was not prepared in advance. The soldiers were exposed to wind and rain all day long, and even iron could not bear it. Soon, people in the Jiangnan garrison fell ill one after another, and the number of people increased day by day.
"Young Master, there is no way we can continue this battle. God is also helping them." General Yan was full of confidence at the beginning, but now he is at a loss.
There has been no sunshine for half a month, and they can no longer find dry clothes. They have to soak in the water day and night. How can they live like this?
"Yes, God is also helping him." Jing Yan refused to accept his fate, but at this moment he really had no choice but to accept his fate.
Jing Yan had always known that there was a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, so he deliberately chose a rainless season to start the war, but he didn't expect that he would encounter a heavy rain that only happened in the south of the Yangtze River in a hundred years.
The heavy rain for half a month had wiped out their gunpowder, food and grass, and even their morale and blood. They could no longer fight this battle.
He was extremely unwilling to give up, but Jing Yan had to give the order to retreat: "Notify me, we will retreat tomorrow!"
Jing Yan didn't tell General Yan why it was tomorrow, and General Yan didn't ask. General Yan learned a lot from this month's battlefield career...
This month was short, but also very long. They learned too much from Feng Jiajun in this month. He had too many young men under his command, who had grown from recruits who knew nothing to veterans who were familiar with the changes on the battlefield.
General Yan believes that the people under him will become as good soldiers as the Feng Family Army in the future!
General Yan made arrangements for the retreat outside, while Jing Yan gathered his men to prepare for the withdrawal of the assessment.
"Wow..." Jing Yan spread out the map of Jiangnan, swiped his finger, and pointed to the destination, "Did you see this? These are Jiangnan's reservoirs. There are eighteen in total. What you have to do tonight is to blow them up.
Each of these reservoirs that are exploded counts as one."
Jing Yan didn't say specifically that he had to blow up a few. He knew that Qin Jiyan could think of what he could think of.
Qin Jiyan will definitely arrange for people to guard the reservoirs, and their actions tonight will not be easy.
"My subordinate understands!"
It rained continuously for half a month, and many places in Jiangnan were flooded. The reservoir had already exceeded its capacity. Jing Yan sent people to blow up the reservoir at this moment, which would undoubtedly flood Jiangnan City.
Jing Yan and his men knew very well that this move would inevitably cause the death of a large number of innocent people, but how could they escape without flooding Jiangnan?
Without any hesitation, after receiving the order, Jing Yan's men carried explosives on their backs and headed to the reservoir that night...
Qin Jiyan inspected the military camp as usual, with Tang Yong by his side. Qin Jiyan looked around and was very satisfied with Tang Yong's ability.
Although it has been raining for more than ten days, no one in the Feng family's army has wet clothes, the fire is not extinguished in the camp, ginger soup and herbal tea are always available, and no one has fallen ill yet.
"They have been staring at the reservoir for more than two days, and they will do anything in a hurry." Qin Jiyan reminded Tang Yong to pay attention to the problem of the reservoir ten days ago, and Tang Yong has been staring at it tremblingly, even in these ten days.
Nothing happened, and Tang Yong didn't dare to take it lightly.
He now has complete blind trust in what His Highness Qin said. His Highness Qin said that the troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River would jump over the wall and blow up the reservoir. Tang Yong believed that the other party would definitely do this.
Facts have proved that what His Highness Qin said was not wrong at all. That night, there was a "rumbling" explosion on the mountain, followed by the sound of raging water...
