Xia Nan and Mu Tianyan looked at her together: "Do you have a way?" ”

After entering the state of thinking, Xie Wenjun regained his usual calm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info She said while thinking: "According to the imperial court's newspaper and my father's letter, the armies of Shandong to quell the rebellion are all deployed from neighborhoods, such as Tianjin, Changping, Baoding, Tongzhou, and a little farther away are also the elite of the border army in Ningyuan, and now the rebels have been suppressed in the Dengzhou area, and Laizhou City is still in the hands of the imperial court, and the room for the rebels to move is already very small, defeat is a foregone conclusion, and it is almost impossible to transfer troops from the south." ”

Xia Nan was very disappointed when he heard this, "The rebels are going to be defeated?" No matter how late it is, you won't be able to catch up, what do you say? ”

Xie Wenjun glanced at him and continued: "It is no longer possible to transfer troops from other provinces on land, but there is still sea!" After nearly two years, this mutiny has been protracted and has spread from Shandong to Dongjiang Town. Led by Lushun deputy general Chen Shishi, Guangludao deputy general Mao Chenglu, guerrilla Geng Zhongyu and others, the generals of Dongjiang Town wanted to collude with the Dengzhou rebels, and sent troops to attack Phi Dao several times, but Huang Long, the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, had been killed in battle, and only Shen Shikui, Shang Kexi and others were left on Phi Island to support him, but his determination to resist was not as resolute as Huang Long. If Shen Shikui and the others also succumbed to Chen Shishi, Mao Chenglu, Geng Zhongyu and the like, then Dongjiang Town would be the source of a new rebellion, and even if Denglai was pacified, he would be exposed to the threat of Dongjiang Town's sailors. ”

Xia Nan was a little surprised, since he left Shandong, he didn't care much about this mutiny, but more concerned about how to defeat Zheng Zhilong. Now two years have passed, and the situation in Shandong has changed a lot, and it is no longer the mutiny he remembers. The rebellion, which was put down in a year, has not yet been over after two years; Dongjiang Town, which originally played soy sauce, suddenly jumped onto the stage of history. Could it be that all these changes are brought about by the butterfly wings of yourself?

He settled down, and then Xie Wenjun's train of thought continued: "So, the rebellion on land must be quelled, Dengzhou must be recovered, and the threat of Dongjiang Town must be eliminated?" And there is no sailor in Shandong except Dengzhou, so you need to rely on external forces? ”

Xie Wenjun glanced at him appreciatively: "Draw inferences from one another, and the children can be taught." Shandong's only Dengzhou naval division is in the hands of the rebels, and if the Liaodong soldiers from Dongjiang Town cross the sea and join the battle, then the suppression of this rebellion is far away. ”

Xia Nan pondered for a while and asked rhetorically: "But the single-mindedness of Dongjiang Town to join the rebels is just a speculation, not a fait accompli, who can not tell the prophet to conclude this?" Even if you want to transfer water divisions from outside Shandong, the imperial court may not transfer troops from Qiongzhou Mansion, which is thousands of miles away? ”

Xie Wenjun sighed: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." You have a lot of gains and losses, so you can't judge the situation accurately. The threat of Dongjiang Town, whether big or small, depends on the literati's pen, as long as the last excerpt is rendered a few points, the court will not believe it. As for the matter of the water diverter, throughout the Ming Dynasty, half a year ago, the strength of the water division was none other than the Fujian guerrilla Zheng Zhilong, and now, it has become the Guangdong general Xia Nan. As long as you are willing to send troops, or even take the initiative to ask for help, plus Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong who commanded the counterinsurgency army, asked the court for transfer, and the two-pronged approach, the Qiongzhou battalion sent troops to Shandong as a matter of course. ”

Xia Nan was embarrassed and was said again, but these words made him very happy, but he didn't understand the second half of the sentence. "It's no problem for me to take the initiative to ask for help, but the official position is too low, and people are soft-spoken, how can I be qualified to deliver a message to the Ministry of War or even the imperial court? Besides, Zhu Dadian has no friendship with me, how could he ask the court to transfer the Qiongzhou camp? ”

Mu Tianyan interjected leisurely: "You are still too young. As long as there are connections in officialdom, none of this is a problem. Your official position is low, I can recommend it! It is said that the minister is worried that the war situation in Shandong will drag on for a long time, and he is willing to share his worries for His Majesty, and there is a general in Guangdong named Xia Nan, who has trained an elite sailor to block the sailor of Dongjiang Town. As for Zhu Dadian, there is Wenjun's father here! The governor recommended a soldier and horse in front of the governor to help, which was beneficial to Zhu Dadian, and this face would still be given. ”

In the summer, Nanyan had the urge to look up to the sky and laugh. It's been too long to use your fists, and the ability to use your connections is rusty, in the old time and space, this is your strength, but fortunately, Mu Tianyan and Xie Wenjun are here, and they have thought of all the plans for themselves. According to the plan of the two of them, they don't have to worry about anything, just go home and pack up and set off.

He sincerely said to Mu Tianyan: "Thank you Futai for your guidance." ”

Mu Tianyan smiled and said: "You should be more grateful to Wen Jun, but the idea is what she thought, I just picked up the missing and filled the gaps." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Nan turned to Xie Wenjun, "Miss Xie is grateful for this clever plan." ”

Xie Wenjun turned his face to the side and replied a little uncomfortably: "I didn't do anything, but I usually read a lot of newspapers, and when I heard you discuss, I couldn't help but say a few more words." ”

"For me, Miss Xie's words are worth a thousand dollars." Xia Nan said very seriously, "I also ask Miss Xie to be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, write a letter to Xie Xun, and beat the side drum to Zhu Dadian, so that I can make the trip as soon as possible." ”

Xie Wenjun lowered his head, twisted his fingers at the corners of his clothes, and said "um" in his mouth.

Xia Nan looked at her appearance and knew that this was a promise, so she put her mind at ease and turned to say goodbye to Mu Tianyan: "Since the matter has settled, then don't disturb Futai, I'll go back and prepare and wait for the good news." ”

Mu Tianyan stroked his beard and nodded: "Rectifying the armament is an important matter, the rebels in Shandong are not mountain bandits and thieves, they should not be underestimated, so I won't leave you, go." By the way, have you ever asked the Guangdong Domain Treasury to allocate the money? Is there any arrears of pay in the army? When I went to Shandong, the morale of the army was important, and I couldn't save the money of the soldiers. ”

Xia Nan grinned and said: "Please rest assured that my Qiongzhou battalion never owes salaries, and there is no need to pull out silver." Futai manages Guangdong, and there are many places where money is needed, so the money from the feudal treasury should be kept for his own use. ”

"I knew you would answer that. Fortunately, there is no need for the local treasury and the military department to allocate food and salary, such people are liked by everyone, and I will definitely be able to recommend it in the excerpt. Mu Tianyan said firmly. Whether it is the emperor, the military department, or the household department, who doesn't like an army that is self-sufficient in food and salary?

Xia Nan turned around and said goodbye to Xie Wenjun: "Thanks to Miss Xie's guidance today, I'll come back another day to ask for advice, one step ahead." ”

"Wait." Xie Wenjun stopped him, "Just leave, what about Dong Mingjue?" You promised her that you would welcome her as soon as she was free. I left for more than half a year before, and now I have to go to Shandong to fight, how long do you plan to delay? ”
