Chapter 55: The First Route of Reinforcements

"Father, rest assured, if there is a child, he will definitely be able to defend the Fengyang Forbidden Wall." Ma Luan said.

He may not have understood the meaning of Ma Shiying's words, and simply thought that Ma Shiying expected him to be able to defend Fengyang City.

"Okay." Ma Shiying said: "The only person my father can rely on now is you." ”

Ma Shiying sent Ma Luan away.

He secretly pondered in his heart: "The only plan for today is to keep Fengyang as the best policy." As long as Fengyang is in hand, even if the imperial tomb falls, His Majesty will not be harsh when he wants to come. Asking for help in order to defend Fengyang is the first thing. ”

During this period of time, Zhang Xuan's foothold was still unstable, and internal and external news had not been cut off, so Ma Shiying immediately wrote a lot of letters.

The first letter was addressed to His Majesty.

Just write that Fengyang is in danger, please Your Majesty send reinforcements quickly.

However, Ma Shiying also knew that this letter was a superficial article, and all the belongings in the hands of the imperial court were in Henan at this moment, and under the leadership of Sun Chuanting, he was ready to compete with Li Zicheng. In the hands of His Majesty, there is no more soldiers and horses that can be mobilized.

But no matter what, the emperor is the emperor, and this face still has to be given.

The second letter was addressed to Lu Zhenfei. After all, Huai'an is the closest important town to Fengyang.

For most of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Caoyun held official positions such as the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Huaiyang.

It's just that now the soldiers are in a hurry to separate this dispatch, but it can also be seen that Huai'an and Fengyang are dependent on each other.

And a lot of political responsibilities after the fall of Fengyang, Lu Zhenfei may not be able to avoid it. As soon as Fengyang fell, Huaiyang bore the brunt, and in such a situation, Lu Zhenfei could not contribute to Fengyang.

The third letter is addressed to Huang Degong.

It's pretty much the same as the last time, but the tone is a little sad.

After Lu Zhenfei returned to Huai'an, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

escaped in Linhuai, so that Wang Xincui fell into the hands of the rogue and was beheaded. This incident simply gave Lu Zhenfei a slap in the face.

Lu Zhenfei has a feeling of self-esteem every time he thinks about it.

I think it's a great shame in my life.

The first thing he did was to write a letter to ask for guilt, and then reorganize the soldiers and horses, requisition ships, and prepare to advance by land and water to rescue Fengyang City.

It's just that Lu Zhenfei also knows the strength of his command, and if he doesn't rectify it, this may be a meat bun beating a dog.

Especially the sailors, nearly a hundred ships, lost a lot, and were captured by thieves, even if Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Caoyun, has a big family, he also felt a little tight for a while, after all, he, the governor of Caoyun, can't always send ships to fight.

He still has a serious business, that is, to ensure Cao Yun, again

In addition, Shen Tingyang also got a lot of ships from the tanker, saying that he would change it to a sea ship.

For a while, Lu Zhenfei couldn't dispatch many ships.

Not to mention the sailors.

The sailors who fought last time were all sailors on the transport, they were not soldiers, nor did they have any courage, they had already been soaked in the various ways of making money on the canal.

When he thought of the water master, Lu Zhenfei suddenly remembered a person, that was the Nan'an Zheng family.

However, what Lu Zhenfei remembered was not Zheng Zhilong.

Because Zheng Zhilong can't save his thirst from far water, after all, Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses are all in Fujian, and many Zheng Zhilong are willing to serve the imperial court, Lu Zhenfei's relationship with Zheng Zhilong was very weak at the beginning, that is, Lu Zhenfei guessed Zheng Zhilong's mind very clearly.

The person he thought of was Zheng Zhifeng, one of the five tigers of the Zheng family. However, it has now been renamed Zheng Hongkui.

If Lu Zhenfei can see that Zheng Zhilong has other thoughts about the imperial court, he can also see that Zheng Hongkui is different from what his brother thinks, which is why he changed his name from Zheng Zhifeng to Zheng Hongkui.

During this period of time, Zheng Hongkui's department was ordered by the imperial court, just above the Yangtze River, under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Military Department, to be precise, under the command of the Shi Ge Department.

The distance is close, it is easy to dispatch, Lu Zhenfei and Shi Kefa, and Zheng Hongkui can be said to be old acquaintances.

And Lu Zhenfei also knows that Zheng Hongkui is not only a general in water warfare, but also has a certain ability in land warfare, and his coming over will greatly alleviate Lu Zhenfei's dilemma of lack of soldiers and major generals.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhenfei immediately wrote a letter to Shi Kefa.

But before the letter was dry, someone came to report it, and King Lu asked to see him.

Lu Zhenfei couldn't help frowning, he didn't have a good impression of these vassal kings. I don't want to get in touch, many times if Wenchen and the vassal king have too close a relationship, it is a taboo for Wenchen, but when things come to this point, Lu Zhenfei's responsibility lies and he can't shirk the responsibility at all.

"Please." Lu Zhenfei said.

After a while, King Lu arrived.

Lu Zhenfei saw King Lu's nails that made him feel uncomfortable.

King Lu's nails were very long, how long they were, each nail looked like a small dagger, neatly and cleanly, and it also exuded a white bone-colored light, as if it was a work of art.

But the nails grow like this, King Lu can hardly do anything, such long nails are extremely fragile, I'm afraid that if you move a little hard, these nails will break off by themselves.

However, King Lu himself is a rich idler, he doesn't need to do anything at all, his only hobby is to raise nails, and he protects his nails with bamboo tubes on weekdays. This time, I came to see Lu Zhenfei and showed respect that I didn't bring a bamboo tube.

It's just that he didn't know that Lu Zhenfei was still extremely disgusted with his nails.

In Lu Zhenfei

This kind of upright reader, looking at this kind of thing, can hold back and not reprimand, it is already Lu Zhenfei's cultivation.

"If my Lu family disciple dares to do this, I have to break his leg." Lu Zhenfei said secretly in his heart.

It's just that this King Lu is surnamed Zhu, and Lu Zhenfei can only endure it.

After the two saluted, King Lu said: "Lord Lu, Xiao Wang heard that Fengyang is now surrounded by thieves, I don't know if it?" ”

Lu Zhenfei said in a flat tone: "This is indeed the case. But Your Highness don't worry, Fengyang is the capital of the Middle Kingdom, it is impregnable, and it is the protection of the ancestors and ancestors, if you think that the thieves will definitely not be able to attack it, it will not take a few days to turn the corner. ”

These things can't be hidden, and the Ming government has always been a big sieve. Even if Lu Zhenfei didn't say it, wouldn't King Lu be able to find a few people who would report to him?

King Lu said: "This Fengyang is still like this, Gu thinks Lord Lu, can you send troops to escort Gu and a few virtuous nephews to Jiangnan." ”

King Lu wanted to say some kind words, but since he was a child, he has never said anything kind to anyone, so after saying a few words, he didn't know what to say, and directly said the purpose.

Lu Zhenfei suddenly frowned.

Send troops to escort him, he doesn't have enough soldiers in his hands now, where are there soldiers to escort him

Moreover, Lu Zhenfei didn't want to entangle with these vassal kings at all.

"Your Highness is the grandson of the dragon and the phoenix, how can the lower officials manage it." Lu Zhenfei said: "Su Shengju." As long as His Royal Highness says that His Majesty moves, someone will naturally obey the order. ”

At the moment, without the emperor's will, not only King Lu, but also several other princes, they can't go.

Lu Zhenfei carried it very clearly, at that kind of crisis in Linhuai County, it was from power, but Huai'an now, there is no possibility of power, the emperor must speak, Lu Zhenfei will arrange it, otherwise these princes will stay here.

Lu Zhenfei made his words clear, and he didn't have the meaning to speak, so he picked up the tea bowl.

Serving tea to send guests, King Lu still knew this rule, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and almost threw off his nails like works of art. He hurriedly didn't dare to move, stretched out his hand, and immediately the eunuch put a few polished and delicate bamboo tubes on the nails one by one.

Lu Zhenfei sent King Lu out of the dripping eaves and said, "Your Highness, go slowly." ”

King Lu left without looking back.

Lu Zhenfei just came back, and the servant sent another letter, which was Ma Shiying's letter, Lu Zhenfei looked at it, frowned for a moment, and gave Ma Shiying a reply, the letter did not say anything else, but told Ma Shiying to insist, ten days later, that is, at the end of August, he will definitely send troops.

As long as he held on for a while, reinforcements arrived.

After dealing with complicated affairs, Lu Zhenfei fell into countless official documents, and he also needed to settle some civil affairs one by one before he could send troops.
