Chapter 791: Standby
In the morning, Chen Xiaoting opened his eyes, and Liang Jiahui next to him was holding his arm.
For so many years, Chen Xiaoting has never had the habit of sleeping lazy, so he has to get up at this time.
His movement woke Liang Jiahui up, so the latter also got up and began to serve Chen Xiaoting to dress.
Chen Xiaoting didn't shirk either, standing beside the bed with his hands outstretched, waiting for Liang Jiahui to finish dressing him.
However, at this moment, he only heard a rush of footsteps outside the room, which made Chen Xiaoting, who was enjoying himself with his eyes closed, immediately open his eyes.
I heard Yang Kai's voice outside: "My lord, my lord'......"
Yang Kai thought that Chen Xiaoting hadn't gotten up yet, so he thought about waking up his boss first.
"Tell me, what's the matter!" Chen Xiaoting asked in a deep voice.
Yang Kai didn't delay, and said directly: "My lord, I just received the news that the Japanese have come ashore!" β
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting was stunned for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "I know!" β
His words seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, he was very surprised in his heart at the moment, didn't he say some time ago that the Japanese had been driven away?
But in the blink of an eye, Chen Xiaoting understood that this might be the correct way for the Japanese to harass Jiangnan, so that the dog-skin plaster would make the entire Jiangnan unpeaceful.
"Change into my official uniform!" Chen Xiaoting instructed at this time.
For the famous Japanese robbers, Chen Xiaoting has to see it no matter what, and it is better to be able to cut two of them.
The hatred of the family and country in the previous life, even if Chen Xiaoting has passed through many years, he still does not dare to forget it in the slightest.
Under Liang Jiahui's service, Chen Xiaoting quickly finished dressing, picked up the official hat and walked out of the room.
At this moment, Yang Kai was waiting outside, and when he saw Chen Xiaoting walking outside, he hurriedly followed.
"Is there any more definite news?" Chen Xiaoting asked at this time.
Yang Kai said: "There are almost four or five thousand Japanese robbers, it is said that they are on the shore of Yanzhou Mansion, and now they are attacking inland!" β
"I remember that there are sea outposts along the coast, how can I watch the Japanese land on the shore?" Chen Xiaoting frowned.
Yang Kai replied: "I think the soldiers on duty at the sea guard were killed, these things have happened in the past!" β
chatting with Yang Kai all the way, when Chen Xiaoting walked out of the inner courtyard where he lived, Feng Wengui, who received the news, had also arrived at the yamen.
"Feng Qianhu, you came so early?" Chen Xiaoting asked directly.
Feng Wengui replied: "My lord, I received the news of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, so I came to the Yamen!" β
"When this happens, what do you need to do?" Chen Xiaoting asked.
Feng Wengui said: "We have a hundred households under the jurisdiction of a thousand households, and we will closely investigate the movements of the Japanese and pass on the information we get to Governor Hu!" β
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then asked, "In this way, our Jinyi Guard has also made a great contribution to the fight against the Japanese Invaders!" β
Feng Wengui was a little weak when he heard this kind of statement that he obviously put gold on his face, but at this time, he was not good at pointing it out on the surface.
"Alright, come with me to Governor Wu and see how he responds to this matter!" Chen Xiaoting said slowly.
But this made Feng Wengui a little embarrassed, so he only heard him speak: "My lord, Governor Wu will go to the front line, maybe he has already left at this time!" β
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but be stunned, Wu Guorui is still running to the front line at such an old age?
So he asked, "Was it the same before?" β
Feng Wengui nodded and said, "That's right, most of the combat Governor Wu is on the front line!" β
Worried that Chen Xiaoting would not understand, Feng Wengui explained: "The combat mobilization of military supplies, this side needs the full cooperation of all the yagovernments, and Governor Wu must personally go to the front line to keep an eye on it!" β
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoting understood that fighting a war is not just a matter for military attachΓ©s, if the civilian system is engaged in the mobilization of military supplies, then the battle on the front line will not be able to be fought at all.
Wu Guorui sat in the position of governor, and his biggest role was to mediate the forces of all parties.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoting spoke: "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion first, if he is not there, I will chase him to the front line!" β
That's right, Chen Xiaoting had already made up his mind at this time, he was going to the front line to see the situation.
In any case, the emperor asked him to make achievements in the fight against the Japanese invaders, and it was only right to go to the front line to see.
What's more, Chen Xiaoting had the intention of going to the front line.
Since he was on the front line, he had to bring some guys, and Niu Jingyun, who was in charge of raiding the house, was idle.
So Chen Xiaoting instructed Yang Kai: "Send someone to inform Niu Jingyun, let him and his subordinates all bring weapons and armor, and stand by in the Thousand Households!" β
After saying this, Chen Xiaoting turned to Feng Wengui and said, "Feng Qianhu, you prepare another fifty steps of crossbow machine and corresponding arrows, and hand them all over to Niu Jingyun later!" β
Seeing Chen Xiaoting mobilizing force like this, Feng Wengui thought that he was going to go to the front line to kill, so he instinctively wanted to persuade Chen Xiaoting.
It is very dangerous to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the backer that he Feng Wengui finally got together can't be folded on the battlefield.
But Feng Wengui could only think about these words in his heart, and it was not easy for him to persuade Chen Xiaoting to stay.
"Obey the order, and arrange it!" Feng Wengui said in a deep voice.
Just as Chen Xiaoting was about to take a step, he stopped again, and then said: "Feng Qianhu, next you sit in the Qianhu Office, and the information about the Japanese Kou will be divided into two parts, one each for the Governor's Mansion and me!" β
In fact, this is more clear, he Chen Xiaoting is going to the battlefield.
"Yes!" Feng Wengui then replied.
Immediately, Chen Xiaoting left, and Feng Wengui ordered his subordinates to prepare according to Chen Xiaoting's instructions.
After a while, Niu Jingyun, who got the news, led his subordinates to arrive, and they were quite relaxed these days.
Copying the property of Cai Shi's two families, although Chen Xiaoting has a strict order, this is still an out-and-out fat gap.
And through this errand, they also avoided the drudgery of going to check the maritime merchants, Niu Jingyun was proud of his wit, but he didn't expect to receive this errand.
Let him get fifty crossbow machines, and also follow Chen Xiaoting to the front line, Niu Jingyun easily deduced that he might have to go to the battlefield.
It's going to be a game of death when you go to war, and to tell you the truth...... Niu Jingyun was not prepared.
"Niu Baihu, this is fifty crossbow machines, and two thousand crossbow arrows, you can collect them!" Feng Wengui said in a deep voice.
Niu Jingyun didn't bother to pay attention to this, but stepped forward and asked Feng Wengui, "Lord Feng, where did Lord Chen go?" β
"Lord Chen went to the Governor's Palace, thinking that he wanted to go to the front line with Governor Wu!" Feng Wengui said in a deep voice.
As soon as he heard that Chen Xiaoting was really going to the front line, Niu Jingyun's heart became even more worried.
If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, this road is not easy...... Niu Jingyun said secretly in his heart.
There is no way, whether it is to catch ducks on the shelves or not, Niu Jingyun has to bite the bullet, he has no choice at all.
Soon, he ordered his subordinates to count the crossbow machines and arrows, and then led his subordinates to wait for orders in the Thousand Households.
When Niu Jingyun finally accepted the reality, Chen Xiaoting's order came immediately, asking him to lead his troops to wait twenty miles outside the south gate.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Nan'an Mansion City, outside the South Gate.
"My lord, this Governor Wu moved really fast enough, and only then did he get the news of the Japanese Invaders, so he took people to the front line!" Yang Kai said on the side at this time.
They went to the Governor's Mansion to see Wu Guorui, and sure enough, they had already taken the lead and rushed to the front line.
Of course, Wu Guorui did not want to go to the front line of the battle, but to go to the capital city close to the front line.
After all, he is old, and it is his duty to sit on the front line to supervise the war, and it is impossible to go to the front line with Zheng Shaojun.
"He is not old-hearted, he is stronger than many people!" Chen Xiaoting sighed.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
