Jinyi Night Walk

After Xia Xun and Ming'er bid farewell to Xu Qian's household, they first returned to Xiangshan County, and then rushed back. They also rushed to a ferry, crossed the river from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River. King's camp.

The way back was not easy. All the vehicles and boats they met had gone down the river to escape the war disaster. The local people had heard the news, and no one would rent a vehicle or boat to take them back west, even though now The value of the Daming banknotes has been greatly depreciated due to the war." Fortunately, Xia Xun had plenty of money, so he took out all the money, so to speak, "finally bought a donkey cart." With a car instead, the speed is faster Some." Xia Xun made a cameo appearance on the handlebars and drove Ming'er back.

At this time, Chen Xuan had already received the imperial edict and rushed to the navy camp overnight to take over military affairs.

Previously, Sheng Yong fought two more battles with the Northern Army in Puzikou. In the first round, Sheng Yong won a small victory, but in the second round, he was defeated. In desperation, he had to lead the remnants of the defeated army across the river, and set up camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Said to set up defenses, and the key task of preventing the northern army from going south was left to the imperial navy. At this time, a strong general who could control the navy was really needed. Naturally, this person was none other than Chen Xuan. Considering the aspect, it is very reasonable to recommend him.

However, before, Chen Xuan was implicated because of his close relationship with Xu Zengshou. Now that it is reactivated, the emperor did not give him an official title or reward to buy people's hearts. It seems that the corruption in this emperor is not bad. Light, so many generals surrendered without a fight" still can't make him wake up and let him know that no matter what he does" the courtiers will be loyal to him without complaint.

Since Chen Xuan stood aside, she has been doing nothing at home, and the only place to go is Xu Zengshou's place. After Xu Zengshou died inexplicably, "Chen Xuan didn't go anywhere, and he became even more taciturn. He just sat at home and drank wine all day long. After the imperial decree was issued, I went to Xu Zengshou's grave to pay homage and sweep, and rushed to the navy.

The officers and soldiers of the navy are all his former troops. Hearing that Governor Chen Du was reinstated and returned to Shuibei, his trusted generals were very excited, and they were all dressed up and waiting at the Yuanmen early on." When Chen Xuan arrived , all the generals came forward to meet them, Chen Xuan nodded with a serious face, and his trusted lieutenant general Jiang Ming smiled and said: "Governor, I am very happy to hear that the governor is back." We have already arranged a banquet for the governor..."

"Remove!"

Chen Xuan said with a sullen face: "The enemy is in front, and you still drink leisurely? Immediately raise the account and discuss the military plan!"

Jiang Ming was stunned, seeing that the governor's face was gloomy, "Don't dare to disobey", he quickly agreed, "Ordered the people to withdraw the banquet, and beat the Jujiang drum.

The sound of drums "rumbling" echoed over the naval camp, announcing the return of Lian Xuan, the commander-in-chief.

On the north bank of the river "Zhu Di is very anxious. He is looking for ships everywhere. "If you want to cross the river, you must have a big ship." But the imperial court has already burned all the warships and civilian ships in Jiangbei. "This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had to be given up, and he had to be forced to return to Peiping.

Zhu Di was frowning about the ship, and the Jimen rushed into the big tent with a stride, and said with a smile on their faces: "Your Highness, Yang Xu is back!"

"what?"

Zhu Di was overjoyed to get up, "I value Xia Xun as a general, and he still doesn't know what happened to Xia Xun in Jiangbei." He always thought that Xia Xun was still hiding under the Mercy Mountain." Now he has reached the north bank of the Yangtze River , Xia Xun still didn't come to see him, he thought it was because of the blockade along the river that he couldn't get in and out, and when he heard that Xia Xun had arrived at this time, he was naturally very happy.

Zhu Di said, "Please!" He hastily greeted him with his feet, and Ji Gang hurriedly followed behind.

The army came and went, people and horses went back and forth, "some were drilling, some were consolidating the camp defense, and some were rushing to build big ships, jingling and ding-dang-dang everywhere" was very busy.Seeing Xia Xun approaching from afar, a smile appeared on Zhu Di's face, he stood still, looked at Xia Xun with a smile, and then..." His smile froze on his face...

He saw a young girl walking beside Xia Xun. When he saw the girl's face clearly, his consciousness suddenly became a little dazed. He seemed to have left the cloud-covered battlefield and returned to the time when he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, yes , That year, he was 17 years old and she was 15 years old, and the first time he saw her, he was fascinated by this 15-year-old charming girl, and the two lived together until today.

Zhu Di blinked. The girl walking beside Xia Xun was vaguely similar to Concubine Xu at that time. It was really... so similar!

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Xia Xun came to the front and called twice in a row. Zhu Di stared at Ming'er with straight eyes, but he still hadn't recovered.It's not his fault, when I saw my sister-in-law last time, Ming'er was still a nine-year-old naughty girl, and the girl turned eighteen, now I see her again, she is already a handsome and lovely big girl." How dare he Recklessly, he stepped forward to admit his relatives.

Zhu Di pointed at Ming'er, and said hesitantly: "Yang Xu" she, this girl is", "Brother-in-law, don't you recognize me? "

Except that Zhu Di looked older, his appearance was not much different from a few years ago. Besides, Xia Xun had already called out, so Ming'er didn't know which one he was.Ming'er yelled joyfully, and ran to his side." Subconsciously, she wanted to hug his arm, but before she touched his sleeve, Ming'er realized that she had grown up, and she quickly Glancing at Xia Xun, he withdrew his hand again and gave Zhu Di a blessing.

"Ah! Miao Jin? Ming'er, it's you!" Haha, it's really you! "

Surprised and delighted, Zhu Di looked her up and down, and exclaimed, "It's only been a few years, and that yellow-haired girl..., oh my, you were like a little puppet back then, only as tall as your brother-in-law's waist , it has grown so big in the blink of an eye!"

Ming'er gave him a big white eye, and said coquettishly: "Who is so young, speak ill of me, I will tell my sister!"

Of course she didn't want to call herself a child in front of her sweetheart.After saying this," Ming'er glanced at Xia Xun quickly, and thought, "He met me at that time." No wonder... No wonder I talked to him so seriously, but he dismissed me like a child. Has he always thought of me as a child?"

Ming'er subconsciously puffed out her chest.

"The only thing to worry about now" is the battleship. "

Zhu Di returned to the tent with them, briefly described the situation after they left each other, and immediately talked about the most difficult issue at the moment. Zhu Di frowned and said: "Mei Yin is stationed in Huai'an" and does not move." In my opinion, that Mei Yin is also I am undecided, I don't know whether I should take refuge with this king at this time, but if it is difficult for me to cross the river on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind." Sent an army to fight.

There is also Fengyang, the central capital, which also has a permanent garrison of [-] troops. This army is still standing still and waiting to see what happens. Once the king shows defeat or hesitates, they will take the opportunity to send troops, but this ship is really hard to find. Not to mention that ordinary small boats cannot transport troops across the river as quickly as possible, nor can they compete with the imperial navy. At present, the imperial navy has nearly [-] troops. The governor Chen Xuan is also a veteran of the navy. He is very popular with the sailors. underestimate.

"Chen Xuan?"

Xia Xun's expression changed." He said: "I know this Chen Xuan, because he has a close relationship with Governor Xu, and he was also implicated." He has been taken from the military post all the time." I'm at home, has the court rehabilitated him? "

"Not bad!"

Xia Xun thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, is there any possibility for us to recruit Chen Xuan?"

Along the way, many generals have been surrendered." Xia Xun asked, and Zhu Di's heart thumped." Staring at Xia Xun intently, he asked nervously, "Is there any return?"

Xia Xun said: "I think it's worth a try. Dudu Chen has been unfairly treated by the court, and he has a long-standing friendship with Dudu Xu. The court is now lying about the death of Dudu Xu at our hands, and now the princess is in our tent." She is the biological sister of Chief Governor Xu and is the person involved.If His Highness writes a letter to surrender Dudu Chen, and attaches a letter from the little princess, explaining the truth about Dudu Xu being killed, Dudu Chen may not be willing to work for the court again! "

"Good! It's worth a try. If it succeeds, this king will not only get a navy, but more importantly, the Yangtze River will be a natural moat. Let's talk about it, and there will be boats to cross the river!"

Zhu Dixin happily took the case!

In the naval camp of the Southern Army, Chen Xuan, who was preparing his army day and night to prepare for battle, suddenly welcomed a mysterious southerner.After being notified by his own soldiers, the guest was ushered into his Chinese military camp. No one knew who this person was, let alone what he said to Chen Xuan. An hour later, the guest left.Chen Xuan stayed alone in the tent all afternoon without seeing anyone.

That night, Dudu Chen's big tent of the Chinese Army was brightly lit." Those who were ordered to meet were all Chen Xuan's old subordinates for many years.

For three days in a row, more and more generals participated in the meeting, and they were all the main generals of the warships.

For four years, the generals have been oppressed day by day." The status of power is declining, and now the king of Yan is full of arrogance, and the generals have long been ambiguous." Their old bosses who have been in power for many years have said that they want to vote for the king of Yan." Where are the generals? Determined to fight to the death? Although Chen Xuan was careful, he spread the news in batches to find out the generals' minds." However, after testing all the way, he hardly encountered a general who was firmly opposed and swore to fight to the death.

Chen Xuan sighed secretly, and thought: "It's not that the generals are afraid of fighting and dying. Looking at this situation, it is true that the imperial court has lost the hearts of the people!"

This made Chen Xuan's determination even stronger. He sat behind the handsome table and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has no way." To this day, His Royal Highness King Yan is also the flesh and blood of the late emperor. Why not take refuge in King Yan?What's more, this governor can have what he is today "all thanks to the support of Governor Xu. I have a letter written by the little princess of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion here. Governor Xu died tragically under the sword of the emperor. Given the grandeur of the court, he actually used this three abuses." Dirty and King Yan.Where does this imperial court look like an imperial court?

Both public and private, for the lives of our soldiers, for the future of our generals and officials, and to avenge Xu Dadu with a sword, this governor has decided to surrender to the King of Yan tomorrow, everyone who has known me for many years." , the governor will not force you. Everyone has his own ambitions, and those who are not willing to follow the governor to vote for the King of Yan" can stand up now, the governor can guarantee your safety, and when the governor raises troops tomorrow [Tomorrow], you can do it yourself leave, have you? "

Sun Xuan glanced around, but all the generals under the tent remained motionless.

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan suddenly stood up, took out a command arrow, folded his hands, and snapped the command arrow in half, and said sharply: "Then you and my brother, we will change flags together tomorrow, and the governor said what I said today." , there are those who are rebellious and remorseful, there are such arrows!"

"The last will obey!"

All the generals responded abruptly." Chen Xuan's tense face eased." He smiled and said, "Everyone sit down." King Yan has always treated meritorious officials generously.

Lieutenant General Jiang Ming thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Captain, our brothers are all soldiers brought out by the governor. If the governor goes to the left, our brothers will naturally not go to the right. But...Budi heard that the former Princess of Panqing City once Go to the northern military camp to negotiate a peace. The emperor is willing to draw the river and rule, and cut half of the country from the king of Yan. The king of Yan refuses to "just kill the three traitors."Now that we have taken refuge in the King of Yan, what will we brothers do once the Jing trouble is over and the King of Yan returns to Beiping?We are naval divisions, and other soldiers can follow His Royal Highness King Yan. If we go to Peiping... there is no use for us! "

Chen Xuan glanced at him, snorted and said, "Idiot! The King of Yan has broken his face with the emperor, and when the soldiers come to the city, they will kill Fang Huang." Will the King of Yan give up and return to Peiping?Even if the king of Yan is willing, will the many soldiers who follow the king of Yan "do their best and fight bloody battles" willingly? To this day, "once the king of Yan crosses the river" and takes Jinling, it is not up to anyone to decide whether to be emperor or not. It's God's will!~

The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. The emperor has no way, and he who hums the way will replace him!There are no two days in the sky "There are no two masters in a country, this world, it's time to change masters!"

"Oh..., hehe, I finally understand!" Jiang Ming stroked the back of his head and nodded with a silly smile.

Is he really that stupid?How could such a stupid person be Chen Xuan's confidant and lieutenant general!Jiang Ming pretended to be stupid, but he just asked what they wanted to ask for some people who didn't think clearly.Tell these people that what they want to vote for is not the King of Yan in Beiping, but the future co-lord of the world.

All the generals really cheered up: "Yes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. The light of King Yan is so blazing that it has completely covered the glory of the emperor. The world should change hands!"

The next day.

"Look, look! That's my Daming Navy Fleet!"

Shengyong's army deployed along the river suddenly saw a large number of ships going down the river upstream, holding each other's boats, banners and flags covering the sky, and the golden drum was shaking, and they immediately became "excited" and rushed out of the barracks and stood by the river. watch.

"Hey! Look at this big ship. This is our navy. With such a navy, no matter how powerful the Yan army is, they won't be able to cross the Yangtze River!"

"That's right, let alone 15 soldiers and horses, even if he has 100 million troops, they are all scumbags from the north." Want to cross the river?Is it enough to fill the river?hey-hey! "

The soldiers pointed their hands and feet, and talked a lot." This is something to boost the morale of the army, so no one above them cares about them.

Countless warships sailed across the entire river, and then turned to the north bank at the same time. The soldiers on the south bank watched with bated breath: "Is the navy going to attack the Yan army? But the Yan army hasn't crossed the river yet, no matter how powerful the navy is." Impossible to go ashore to fight? "

On the largest battleship in the middle, Chen Xuan was wearing a battle armor and a scarlet cloak on his back. He was standing on the bridge with his sword pressed. With an order, the Ming flags on all the battleships were aligned. It fell down, and then, the flag with the word "Swallow" was slowly raised.

The officers and soldiers on the south bank were stunned, watching the countless ships sailing to the north bank one by one, all of them were dumbfounded: "The navy... has surrendered to the enemy?"

The red sun over there has just risen to a height of one pole, and the red sunlight sprinkles the golden snakes dancing wildly in the mountains and rivers, making it a bright red.

A thought involuntarily floated in the minds of the Nan'an soldiers: "King Yan is about to cross the river, and no one can stop his footsteps!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

far west.

Clavijo stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the tents at the foot of the mountain. The tents are connected to one another "from the horizon to the horizon, boundless". Like fortresses of steel" motionless.

Sir Clavijo put his hands on his hips and held down the rapier on his waist in amazement. He is a fencer with superb sword skills, but in front of such a magnificent landscape, he didn't even dare to let his sword hit his boots copper ring on.

Samarkand, the kingdom of Emperor Tiemuer, is so magnificent, compared with it, the capital of his own monarch is simply a joke.

At this time, he saw several knights running from afar, heading straight for the huge tent of Timur Khan, so he hurried down the hillside and walked towards the tent.He is an envoy sent by His Majesty Castile of the Kingdom of Spain to meet Emperor Timur. He has long heard that Timur the Great is "invincible and has the most fearsome army in the world, but until here he "sees it all with his own eyes." He believed the rumors to be true.

"Perhaps the great emperor can conquer all places where their horses can go with his powerful army if he wants to," he said, "he thought in wonder as he walked into the emperor's tent.

The arrangement in the tent is very prosperous, in the huge tent, there are jewels everywhere, it seems that all the treasures of the world have been concentrated here.

Emperor Timur, that frightening postscript, was limping over.Listening seriously to his courtiers reporting the news to him, his eyes were piercing.Clavijo has been here for several days, and everyone is familiar with him, so he didn't dare to say more, and quickly stood aside, observing those people.

Those few people are travel and dusty, judging by their attire, they should have come from far, far away, but they are full of energy, and Clavijo knows very well that the soldiers of Emperor Timur, as long as they stand in front of their great monarch , Even if the blood is bleeding and about to die, "their emperor" is no different from the undefeated god of war in the hearts of all his fighters, yes, he is a god-like existence.

The person who was reporting the news to Emperor Tiemu'er put his hands on his chest respectfully, and after saluting the Great Khan, he immediately reported: "by the order of the Great Khan, we sneaked into the Ming Dynasty" and collected their information as much as possible. intelligence.The great empire in the east, the great founding monarch Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has passed away..."

"Has Zhu Yuanzhang passed away? Zhu Yuanzhang, who drove the emperor of the Yuan Empire and his subjects out of the Central Plains like dogs, is dead?"

Timur was shocked, and the person who reported the news said respectfully: "Yes, the Great Khan, the one who rules the Ming Dynasty now" is his grandson, a young man in his early 20s. "

"Oh! What a pity, what a pity. In the past few years, I have been busy conquering East Chagatai, West Chahatai, the Golden Horde, Huacizimo, Persia, Turkey, Delhi Sultan (North India) )" I have never freed up my hand. I originally wanted to use this emperor who founded the Eastern Empire" as my last opponent..."

Old Tie Muer sighed regretfully" and raised his head again: "Okay, tell me about the current situation of this empire. "

"Yes, Great Khan, I can't figure out how big this country is, but judging from the dense population of the places I passed by, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest country in the world. Their emperor, probably They have a standing army of 150 million. When fighting, they will leave about 100 million troops to guard their vast country, and they will mobilize about 50 troops to fight. Every city in their land has strong and tall walls, Around the walls there will be rivers circling..."

Apparently, old Tiemuer's spies went deep into the territory of Ming Dynasty and made some investigations. At the end, he said: "When I came back, there was a vassal king who was rebelling in the north of the Ming Empire, but compared to The giant of the Ming Empire, the vassal king is pitiful, he is like a rabbit under the feet of a lion. I think "he should have been crushed to pieces by the iron cavalry of the Ming Empire by now."All in all, this is a unified country with a very powerful regime. Great Khan, I am sorry to say something disrespectful. I think that among all the opponents of the Great Khan, the Ming Kingdom will be the most difficult enemy for you to conquer! "

Old Timur's eyes shone brightly, like an old lion chasing the glory of the final battle, his face flushed red with excitement, making the age spots on his face more prominent: " That's great! I'm going there, I'm going to conquer it, I'm going to prove that "I'm the strongest in the world."Remember what I said, "Although the world is big", it cannot accommodate two monarchs. The only monarch who can stay is me! "

Old Timur waved his arms and yelled excitedly. He walked away with his lame leg and sat down on the soft Persian carpet. A charming, blond Persian with a white veil on his face, showing a charming waist and a sexy navel. The girl immediately knelt down in front of him, beating his legs lightly.

Old Timur shouted: "Ulan Bari, Ulan Bari!"

A person walked in from outside the tent, put his hands on his chest, and said respectfully: "My sweat!"

This Ulan Bari was the second elder brother of Xiri Bari who wanted to use explosives to kill King Yan's family in Beiping City. After traveling thousands of miles, he finally found the hero he admired and cast himself under the king's tent. .

Old Timur said excitedly: "Listen, you go right away and find out the fastest shortcut to Daming, then go to Daming and get me more detailed information about them, oh, it's best to have a Map" is too far away, and I don't want to take my army down the wrong road. "

When he saw Clavijo standing on the side, he suddenly had an idea, and excitedly said: "By the way, I can give you the status of an envoy, and you can use my name to meet the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. In this way, You will be able to learn the most detailed and useful information. "

Old Timur lay on the soft and fluffy blanket with his body crooked, muttering: "When I finish the Ottoman Empire and capture that idiot Baiya back, I will go, I will go to the East, and conquer my last opponent! Wait for me, old Timur, I will come!"! ~!
