Chapter 829: Good News Comes
When Cha Xuan and Zheng Haotian received the order from the Ministry of War, they were naturally shocked, they didn't expect that Ma Shiying would send troops so soon!
"Lao Zheng, we can't grind any longer, we must send troops as soon as possible and return to Nanjing City!"
Cha Bolt said in a deep voice.
Zheng Haotian nodded and replied: "Now Nanjing City has no soldiers and no generals, it is indeed too dangerous. However, now that Anqing Mansion is under the control of Ma Shiying, why don't we clean up Ji Xiang in Anqing Mansion? ”
Cha Xuan shook his head and replied: "It's just a small Ji Xiang, with only three or five thousand troops on hand, thirty or forty broken ships, it's not vulnerable at all, it can't be any climate, it's still important to Nanjing City, just let Ji Xiang live for a few more days, and keep it for Inspector Sun to clean up!" ”
Cha Zhu has full confidence in Sun Chuanting, although the Great Western Army is strong, but now Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the Great Western Kingdom has no leader, and it is a matter of time before it falls apart.
"Then we will immediately return to the army, go straight down from Wuhu, and arrive at the city of Nanjing in less than three days!"
Zheng Haotian said in a deep voice.
Cha Xuan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Cha Xuan snorted coldly: "Lao Zheng, this time, you led the sailors back to Nanjing City, and I led two thousand musketeers to land on the north bank of the Yangtze River. ”
"You! Why don't you follow me all the way back to Nanjing? You still have to sit in charge of the military department and preside over the overall situation! ”
Zheng Haotian was shocked, is this investigation bolt crazy, at this time it is not even a quick return to help, if two thousand musketeers march on land, I am afraid that in five days, they may not be able to reach the city of Nanjing, after all, there is a distance of three hundred miles from Wuhu to Nanjing, all the infantry, and they are all infantry of the water division, but there is no strong combat power of the three towns of Nanjing.
"This is not something you have to worry about, what about the military department and Li Yan, it really can't be done, there are still the emperor and Zhao Zhenghang, three or five days, don't talk about Ma Shiying, even if Duoduo comes, Nanjing City will not fall so soon, act now!"
Cha Xuan said firmly, "Zhang Xun, give an order immediately, and two thousand musketeers will be assembled immediately!" Come with me! ”
At this time, coincidentally, the cavalry sent out by Cha Xuan to report the victory also happened to come to Nanjing City and came to report the victory!
The Yamen of the Ministry of War, all the people are already busy and crazy, the original Lord Sun Chuanting is gone, and he is gone, after all, there is a check bolt staring at it, but the check bolt is half a section of the road also ran, there was originally a left attendant Xu Yifan, running farther, from the time of appointment, has not been in Nanjing City, the entire military department is now the right attendant Zhao Xing alone, although Zhao Xing is born in the gate, but this generation has been passed down from generation to generation, to Zhao Xing's generation, the ancestors have already left down almost lost, in the face of such a complex and severe situation, Where does Zhao Xing have that level?
Now Zhao Xing is already in a hurry to hang himself, but he can't be busy with three heads and six arms, damn the bolt, at the critical moment, you ran away and left Lao Tzu alone in the Ministry of War, where is Lao Tzu the acting material of the Ministry of War?
All kinds of affairs are piled up, military salaries, grain and grass, ammunition, and Tang newspapers from all over the country, each of which is enough for Zhao Xing to be anxious, Zhao Xing really regrets asking the emperor for such an errand, not a human being......
Fortunately, there is still Li Yan, and now Li Yan has no way to stay in the household department, so he directly brought the official document of the household department to the military department to help Zhao Xing take care of official business.
At this juncture, the cavalry who reported the victory rushed straight to the yamen of the military department and shouted: "Great victory, great victory!" General Cha and General Zheng won a great victory in the Taiping Mansion, annihilating Zhang Xianzhong's 50,000 elites in one fell swoop, and dozens of generals since Zhang Xianzhong were all captured! Great victory! ”
Burst......
Zhao Xing just took a sip of tea and was about to moisten his throat, and all the tea in his mouth squirted out!
"Great victory, great victory! Do you hear me, Lord Ministry? ”
Zhao Xing jumped up and shouted urgently, "Someone is coming, immediately order the messenger to come in!" ”
Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, no, really no, this Zhao Xing really doesn't have the style of the general of the ancestor back then, this is a waste wood that eats and sleeps every day, alas, in order to appease these nobles who have supported him, the emperor has to come forward and bring these people to the stage, but it is really useless, sooner or later it will delay the big event......
However, just ascended the throne, if you don't give these people some power, the regime is very prone to problems, fortunately, Zhao Xing is self-aware, never earns power, does not grab power, when Sun Chuanting is there, listen to Sun Chuanting, when Sun Chuanting is not there, listen to the bolt, he is an errand runner, anyway, he can keep the high position of the right servant, this guy is an official fan, not greedy or occupied, just over the official addiction.
"Lord Zhao, you don't have to be so excited, calm, calm, if you let the emperor see your honor, I'm afraid you will be reprimanded again......"
"Yes, yes! Aren't I happy, woo, happy for the emperor, happy for the court! ”
At this time, the messenger ran in, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Qi Qi two adults, the Taiping Mansion is a great victory!" General Cha and General Zheng led the imperial sailors to intercept Zhang Xianzhong the day before yesterday, on the Yangtze River, Zhang Xianzhong was annihilated 50,000 elites in a battle, and won a complete victory. The two generals ordered their humble posts to report the victory! ”
As he spoke, the messenger handed the good news to Zhao Xing, after all, Zhao Xing was a decent right attendant of the military department, and Li Yan came over to help.
Zhao Xing's excited hands trembled, and his voice choked: "Ancestor bless, ancestor bless!" Daming is hopeful! The imperial court is hopeful! Lord Ministry, you and I will enter the palace immediately! ”
Li Yan said with a smile: "That's right, come here, please send the messenger down to rest, prepare a sedan chair, we want to enter the palace!" ”
The two of them came all the way to Zhengyangmen with good news and asked for Hajj.
"Your Majesty, the minister asked to go to war again, the minister has been observing for two days, these soldiers of Ma Shiying are a bunch of waste, and they can't even stand in line, and they are not even as good as the 20,000 recruits that the minister just recruited, as long as the minister leads more than 1,000 musketeers to charge in front, and the 20,000 new troops in the back follow, there is absolutely no problem to defeat Ma Shiying in a battle!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhao Zhenghang and Duan Xuan had just finished inspecting the city, entered the palace, and were asking Zhu Jie for battle, at this time, Liu Sili hurriedly ran in!
"Hooray, hooray! Lord Li and Lord Zhao asked for an audience, a great victory, a great victory, Lord Cha and Lord Zheng annihilated the Great Western Army in one fell swoop in the Taiping Mansion, and even Zhang Xianzhong was captured! ”
