Lord of the House

In the west of Zhejiang, the army was defeated. The cities of Yuling Pass, Huizhou, Jixi, and Ningguo fell one after another in just three or five days. After descending from Ningguo, the gateway to Jiangning from the west of Zhejiang was opened, and Jiangning was shocked. anxiety……

Xie Chaozhong and Liu Zhi fled back to Jiangning by beating their horses, and they were taken by the guards of the Imperial Horse Prison under the city and imprisoned for trial.

Chen Xiyan was originally sick and recuperating at home because of Xie Chaozhong leading the army. The news of the fall of Huizhou reached Jiangning, and Emperor Yongxing was forced to bow his head. Church, and also the governor of Yuying Rongzheng, with Cheng Yuqian as the assistant, responsible for the defense of Jiangning.

The Royal Battalion Army was expanded based on the original Jiangning Guard Army and Ning Wangfu Guard Battalion. Although the system of generals of the Royal Battalion Army was complicated, it was roughly divided into the guard army system and the guard battalion system.

After the fall, nearly half of the imperial battalion army went south with Xie Chaozhong to Huizhou, and most of them were Xie Chaozhong's henchmen of the guard camp, so that almost all the imperial battalion troops left in Jiangning were the old guards of the Jiangning army.

Although Cheng Yuqian is mediocre, he has served in the Jiangning Military Department all year round, and he is familiar with Jiangning's defense and its generals. Although the former Jiangning garrison is weak, it has been trained by Li Zhuo and Gu Wuchen.

The Zhejiang-Fujian rebels stopped in Ningguo, and did not attack in one go. After Jiangning experienced the initial panic, under the auspices of Chen Xiyan, Cheng Yuqian and others, the defense did not collapse all at once.

After the defeat of Huizhou, even Emperor Yongxing did not have any hope of the fighting strength of the Yuying Army, gave up the idea of ​​defending the enemy from the outside, and withdrew his troops and horses to the city to defend the army with all his strength, and would repel the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels. The hope is pinned on the head of Qin Wangjun.

The navy originally stationed at Longzangpu in the south of the city also entered the city through the water gate. The 40,000 defenders spread out at the top of the city, under the streets and alleys, and it can make people's hearts calm. In fact, the stability of people's hearts is limited. There have been no military disasters for two hundred years. The Zhejiang and Fujian rebels captured Huizhou and opened the gateway to Jiangning in the north. How can the city not panic?

On the night of November 12, a curfew was imposed in Jiangning City after nightfall. The streets were particularly gloomy and cold. Teams of soldiers guarded the streets and alleys, staring at the empty long streets. Occasionally they looked up at the towering city walls, but they didn’t know where they were. The startled crows couldn't circle over the east city, and under the light of the cold moon, the guards who were still standing at the head of the city in the cold night were especially weak.

Although no one could be seen walking on the street, many people slept crowded under the eaves on both sides.

After the fall of Huizhou, the news quickly spread like a plague from Huizhou to the north, and the refugees who fled were like a tidal wave, initially from Xuanzhou, Liyang, and Lishui. Entering it, hundreds of thousands of people rushed to Jiangning City.

Too many refugees had nowhere to settle, so they could only huddle together under the eaves on the street, but it was just in time for the severe cold weather. It seems that he doesn't care about the heart-breaking cry under the eaves.

Emperor Yongxing Yuan Jianwu ate dinner at Taigan Palace in his bedroom at night. Under the palace lamp, his eye sockets were black and his face was pale. Although the Zhejiang-Fujian army stopped in Ningguo, the fiasco of the Zhexi Middle Road seemed like a heavy blow. Violently smashed his previous high-spiritedness, and even had to lower his head of the Ninety-Five Supreme, ran to Chen Xiyan's house, and asked him to come out to preside over affairs.

Yuan Jianwu would not admit that he was wrong, that the majestic Yuying Army in Yanwuli would be so vulnerable, it must be Xie Chaozhong and Liu Zhi who betrayed his trust and caused him to show a joke to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but Chen Xiyan Didn't he just kowtow on the hall before saying that Xie Chaozhong couldn't use it?

Asshole, asshole! Yuan Jianwu was also thoughtful while eating, his face was tense, and his face behind the lead made him look very unsightly under the lamp. Although Chen Fei, who was accompanying the meal, was the most doted on weekdays, he didn't dare to say anything at this time. .

After eating, the body recovered from a tired day, Yuan Jianwu stretched a little, his face looked a little better, Chen Fei moved his seat, Xiaoyi knelt down in front of Yuan Jianwu, and said, "The slave family The newly composed piece, the emperor said that he wants to listen to it, but he has not listened, if not for a rest tonight..."

Yuan Jianwu shook his eyebrows, his eyebrows were on fire, how could he still have the heart to listen to any new tunes, but Chen Fei's brows and face were coquettish, and the look in her eyes was like a pug that pleases her master. Unable to be annoyed, Yuan Jianwu took Concubine Chen's hand, walked to the imperial case and sat down, and said, "You can rub your neck..." The messy Zou Shu and Tang Bao told Yuan Jianwu to look upset. Confused, I wish I could burn the fire, closed my eyes, leaned back against the dragon chair, and enjoyed Chen Fei's smooth, tender little hands kneading the muscles on the neck stalk, which made my heart feel a little more comfortable, think of something, ask The **** standing next to him: "Where is Meng Yishan?"

"Your Majesty, Meng Yishan entered the city at night, and in the mansion of Chen Xiangye, he said that he would come to see you early tomorrow morning..."

"My eyebrows are on fire. I can't wait until tomorrow morning. Quickly send someone to Chen Xiyan's house to send an edict to summon Chen Xiyan and Meng Yishan to the palace together, and ask them to come over immediately..." Yuan Jianwu said eagerly, and then said, "Bring Zhang Yan to the palace." also called."

The **** who passed the decree quickly left and returned, and the **** Zhang Yan followed behind, kneeling and saying: "Chen Xiangye, Cheng Xiangye and General Meng are all in the political affairs hall. When they heard the emperor's summons, they all went to the front hall to wait. on..."

When Yuan Jianwu arrived at the front hall, Chen Xiyan, Cheng Yuqian, and Meng Yishan greeted him on the white marble corridor in front of the hall: "Chen Xiyan and Meng Yishan will pick you up!"

Yuan Jianwu went straight to the first room of the wing at the east end of the front hall, sat on a couch covered with a golden yellow mattress, and gave Chen Xiyan, Zhang Yan, and Meng Yishan a seat. Instead, they didn't want their impatient emotions to fall into Chen Xiyan's eyes, put their arms on the armrest, and asked Chen Xiyan, "Has there been any reply from Huaixi?"

"The captive king Ye Jiduodi led 40,000 cavalry and the rebellious Chen Zhihu down the vortex and entered Yanling. The soldiers pointed directly at Huaixi, and Dong Yuan crossed Huai to go to Guoyang to supervise the army. The imperial order is afraid that it will only reach Dong Yuan today. There will be a response soon..." Chen Xiyan replied, his voice was extremely weak and hoarse, and his body was extremely overdrawn, but he just supported it hard, but fortunately, Meng Yishan entered Jiangning City in time, and the Hanghu Army left Jiangning City. It was also closer to Jiangning City than the rebels, so he was a little more at ease.

"What's the news today?" Yuan Jianwu asked, looking at Cheng Yuqian, and if anyone above the temple knew anything about military affairs, it would be Cheng Yuqian.

"The rebels are still in Ningguo, and only a few troops have entered Xuanzhou," Cheng Yuqian replied, "but the rebels stopped in Ningguo to gather their forces, and depending on the situation, they will attack Jiangning."

"Can Xuanzhou be defended? Liyang and Lishui come down from Xuanzhou. How to defend? Have you come up with a set policy?" Emperor Yongxing had his self-esteem, although he was eager to know whether he had made peace with the She family. It's possible, or recruit An She's family again, but he will never ask him first.

However, there is no one below who knows his thoughts. Maybe someone knows his thoughts, but they put it up for him inconsiderately.

Meng Yishan has entered Jiangning City, but what to do with the Hanghu Army? Is it to be transferred to Jiangning City to assist in the defense, or to be sent to Liyang and Lishui to defend against the rebels' Fengrui, Yuan Jianwu has no idea in his heart. He was completely panicked, thinking about these simple questions all day, but still had no clue.

"Huaidong's advance in Mindong is very beneficial, and it is reported that Jin'an Prefecture will be captured on the fifth day of the first year, and the main force will return to the division," Chen Xiyan said. , Liyang, and Lishui do not have any extra troops and horses to defend. As long as Jiangning City is defended, as long as Huaidong troops and horses return to the division of King Qin, they will be able to solve the danger of Jiangning. The old minister thought that the rebels stopped in Ning, and it was not because he was worried about Huaidong's actions. , the old minister asked the emperor Xu Hanghu's army to enter the capital to defend the holy car..."

Yuan Jianwu grimaced and ignored Chen Xiyan. He looked at Zhang Yan and Cheng Yuqian and said, "What do you think?"

"Hanghu Army defends Jiangning, and Wei Chen also believes that it can ensure Jiangning's worry-free, but the root of Jiangning is outside the city and not inside the city," Cheng Yuqian said, "The rebels stopped in Ning and did not go north. On the one hand, they gathered troops and horses, on the other hand. The side also drives the refugees to Jiangning City. What if Huaidong does not come to aid Jiangning for three to five months?"

Cheng Yuqian and Chen Xiyan stood in line with Xie Chaozhong leading the troops, but Cheng Yuqian held an objection when Meng Yishan led the Hanghu Army into Jiangning City.

When Meng Yishan entered Jiangning, he naturally wanted to replace Xie Chaozhong, who was imprisoned, as the commander of the Imperial Army and be in charge of Jiangning's defense.

The imperial battalion is under the control of the army. Cheng Yuqian has a candidate he likes to recommend to Emperor Yongxing. Moreover, Meng Yishan has entered Jiangning. Emperor Yongxing and Chen Xiyan will only pay attention to Meng Yishan's opinion on the issue of Jiangning's defense~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Cheng Yuqian will be marginalized - how could he agree to let Meng Yishan lead the Hanghu Army into Jiangning?

"I also thought that if I did not guard Xuanzhou and Liyang at all and let the rebels pour in, the vitality of the court would be greatly damaged, which would be bad for the future..." Zhang Yan said. Jiang Ning is here.

This time, the emperor bowed his head and asked Chen Xiyan to come out to preside over the situation this time, but the emperor absolutely refused to keep his head up in front of Chen Xiyan forever. Although Xie Chaozhong and Liu Zhi were imprisoned, the emperor did not intend to hold Yu Xinyuan, Wang Xueshan, and Wang Tian accountable, so Zhang Yan could somewhat guess what he was thinking. At this time, how could Meng Yishan lead the army into Jiangning City and let Chen Xiyan completely occupy it? initiative?

Although Chen Xiyan insisted that Jiangning be safe first, Cheng Yuqian and Zhang Yan's reasons made it difficult for him to refute.

Xuanzhou is at the northern foot of Yishan Mountain, and there are still some terrains that are easy to defend. From Xuanzhou, to Jiangning in the north, and Pingjiangfu in the east, it is a flat river. These places are precisely the core areas and the essence areas that the court can directly control.

Huaidong is not trustworthy. This is a louse on the head of a bald man. It is an obvious thing. This side is defending Jiangning. Who knows when Huaidong's troops will come to help? Furthermore, even if the She family cannot conquer Jiangning, as long as they destroy the periphery of Jiangning, Danyang Mansion, and Pingjiang Mansion more thoroughly than they did in the ten years of Chongguan, and then retreat to Huizhou, the foundation of Jiangning will almost be hollowed out. Lose.

The foundation of Jiangning has been hollowed out, where will Dong Yuan’s money for Huaixi be raised; Yue Lengqiu still has 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou waiting to be fed. The foundation of Yue Lengqiu can make Yue Lengqiu from strong to weak from Jiangzhou. Jiangning must not ask Huaidong to send troops to Yue Lengqiu to guard Jiangzhou, right? My QT room is open!
