The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 490

As the saying goes, one soldier is bristling, and there is a roaring general.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhifu is such a Xiong Dajia commander.

If Xie Shen's reinforcements hadn't arrived, he would definitely still be hiding in the city, and would never have the slightest thought of opening the city for war.

This can't be blamed on Zhou Yue.After all, he is a civil servant.

Although the Ming Dynasty used civil to control military, which led to the emergence of many civil commanders, they also went through long-term training.It is true that there are not many people who catch ducks on the shelves like Zhou Zhifu.

Before defeating the opponent with absolute certainty, hiding in the city and waiting for help is an option.

But what puzzled Xie Shen was that, even though his reinforcements had arrived, Zhou Zhifu still looked shrunken. Isn't he too fucking cowardly?
He has a total of 5 people in his hands, and King Ning has at most this number.

After all, the so-called number of troops cannot be believed, at least it has to be cut in half.

Xie Shen was dumbfounded by Zhou Zhifu, and he sighed after a long time: "You don't even dare to pretend to surrender, don't tell me you want to fight against King Ning's rebels?"

Hearing the word field battle, Zhou Yue felt a chill all over, and swallowed subconsciously.

"No need."

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Since the prefect of Zhou doesn't want to fight the rebels, then pretend to surrender as I said. Leave the rest to me, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Mr. Xiaoge, if King Ning sees out this surrender, what should we do?"

Seeing the magistrate of Zhou like this, Xie Shen really wanted to take his authority and do it himself.But not now, prefect Zhou's false surrender is crucial in his plan.

"Can't you act like a bit? Do you understand the self-cultivation of an actor?"

"Actor's self-cultivation? Xiao Ge is old, and the lower officials are dull. What is this?"

Xie Shenzhi was a little dumbfounded.This week, the magistrate was so stupid that he couldn't choose what to say.

"Ahem, what I mean is that you have to do your best to pretend to be a little more like it."

"Oh."

Governor Zhou finally understood what Xie Shen meant, but after thinking about it, he became worried again.

"But Mr. Xiaoge, if this official pretends to surrender, will he be misunderstood by His Majesty? If His Majesty believes it to be true, then this official will die unjustly."

Xie Shen almost lost his anger, and said angrily: "I know about this matter, if your Majesty asks, I will speak for you."

"Don't get me wrong, Xiaoge. I don't doubt you. I'm worried that people's words are scary."

"It's not like you're making a fake show, or if there are some rumors, so what?"

"Here, some of the lower officials are old, and some of the lower officials can't bear to deal with it. What if the lower officials are taken into Jinyiwei Prison"

"It's fine, why did you go to prison, don't think about it. You will only get merit if you do this well, and I will ask His Majesty to reward you heavily."

In desperation, Xie Shen had no choice but to pat his chest to protect Zhou Zhifu.

"If you have Xiaoge Lao's words, you will be relieved to be an official."

Zhou Zhifu immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words.

"The lower officials are all sent by the elder Xiaoge. The elder Xiaoge told the lower officials to go east, and the lower officials will never go west!"

"Okay, you don't need to show your loyalty to me here, I believe you!"

Xie Shen really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, what the hell are these pig teammates.It's better to let him come by himself!

After Zhou Zhifu resigned, Xie Shen called Lu Zhongtian and said: "Send some spies to see where the rebel navy is stationed. No matter where they are stationed, report immediately!"

"As ordered!"

Lu Zhongtian clasped his fists and accepted the order resolutely.

Depart from Hangzhou, enter Wushui via Sui'an, and then cross the Le'an River, then you can enter the boundary of Jiangxi.

This is the route of march planned by Wang Shouren.

However, Emperor Zhengde was obviously not satisfied with this, and felt that such a march was going too far.

And in this way, you have to cross Poyang Lake to attack Nanchang.

"Wang Qing, can we march from the north?"

Zhu Houzhao asked while rubbing his palms.

Zhu Houzhao is always very excited about marching and fighting, and he will naturally direct the generals' formation.

This is of course nothing in normal times, but right now it is about counter-insurgency matters, and it is a bit inappropriate for Zhu Houzhao to intervene in this way.

At least Wang Shouren felt insulted.

Since the emperor summoned him to command the army, he should be given full responsibility.

To say something disrespectful, the emperor's understanding of the art of war is still at the stage of play.If you really arrange your troops according to the emperor's preferences, you will definitely lose the battle.

Seeing Wang Shouren's silence, Zhu Houzhao said a little displeased: "Why doesn't Wang Qing speak? Did I say something wrong?"

The army led by Xie Shen has rushed to the aid of Anqing Mansion, and Wang Shouren's army should also move out immediately, so that the best effect can be achieved by echoing each other from afar.

But obviously, the monarchs and ministers disagreed and couldn't talk anymore.

The atmosphere in the room was very awkward, and the air was almost frozen.

Wang Shouren took off his armor and put it aside neatly.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't trust the minister, the minister should abdicate to make way for the virtuous."

Although Wang Shouren's tone was very respectful, he could clearly feel the anger in his words.

Cold violence is the most terrible thing, and Wang Shouren expressed his protest to the emperor in this way.

Zhengde was stunned.

How is this going?Wang Shouren is going to quit?
Zhengde thought that he had the biggest temper in the world, but who knew there was a mountain higher than the mountain, Wang Shouren's temper was even bigger than the emperor himself!

He just said a few words to Wang Shouren and provided him with a better marching route, but Wang Shouren just quit!

Alas, how can Xie Shen recommend people so uneasy!
Zhu Houzhao just felt bored, so he waved his hands and said: "I won't talk about you, just put on your armor quickly."

Wang Shouren did not move.

"you you"

Zhu Houzhao just felt very humiliated, his teeth chattered and his complexion turned pale.

"If your Majesty wants the minister to take charge of the army, he must agree to three conditions."

In order to prevent Zhengde from interfering with his decision-making again, Wang Shouren had no choice but to make three chapters with Zhengde.

"Okay, okay! Tell me what you want me to promise you!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed out of breath, and said in a dark voice.

"First, His Majesty can no longer interfere with the minister's marching plan!"

Zhengde thought about it for a while, and he nodded his head and said, "I promise you this one."

Wang Shouren paused for a moment and continued: "Secondly, Your Majesty must not have the idea of ​​conscripting himself."

Uh, this one made Zhengde very depressed.

In fact, he really wanted to conquer by himself.But he knew that Xie Shen would definitely not agree, so he asked Xie Shen to lead the army to rescue Anqing Mansion.He wanted to stay and follow Wang Shouren to lead the surprise troops to attack Huanglong.

But now that Wang Shouren has seen his thoughts, what should he do?
With Zhengde's temperament, he really wanted to have someone drag Wang Shouren out and give him a slap in the face.

But not now, because the war is urgent.The second is that this person was recommended by Mr.

If he really ordered someone to slap Wang Shouren, wouldn't that be slapping Mr. in the face?He can't do this kind of thing.

To say that Zhengde really has nothing to say to Xie Shen.There were many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, and it is true that there are not many who can be respected by the emperor like Xie Shen.

"Wang Qing, I promise you."

Although Zhengde was very reluctant in his heart, he had to agree.

Because he knew that if he didn't agree, Wang Shouren would really dare to quit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Shouren finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got the promise from Emperor Zhengde.

"I will serve His Majesty with all my strength. However, this trip is full of dangers. If I can't come back"

Having said that, Wang Shouren choked up a little.

"If I can't come back, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty, and focus on destroying the rebels."

Wang Shouren is a thorough national scholar, so when faced with the affairs of his family, country and world, he would choose to go forward without hesitation, instead of shrinking back in order to save himself.

It is precisely because of his quality awareness that Xie Shen will recommend him to participate in the counter-insurgency.

"Don't say these things are useless. I order you to come back safely!"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red, and he said loudly.

What this stubborn young man admires most is the warrior who sacrificed his personal safety for the country.Although Wang Shouren is a civil servant, he does not lack all the qualities of a warrior.

On this point, Zhu Houzhao is really contradictory.

He admired Wang Shouren's fairness, but was very angry at Wang Shouren for not saving him face. These two contradictory emotions were mixed together, and it was really hard to express.

I order you to come back safely!
Although these words were overbearing, Wang Shouren was extremely moved.

For a long time, civil servants have had a misunderstanding of this young emperor.They demanded Emperor Zhengde according to the standards of wise kings in ancient times, so they naturally felt that Emperor Zhengde was absurd and dissolute, without any demeanor of a wise emperor.

Not to mention the sage kings of ancient times, even if compared with the former emperor Hongzhi Tianzi, Zhengde is undoubtedly a "faint king".

But it is such a "faint monarch" in the eyes of civil servants who can personally inspect the Xuanfu, and can maintain a strong morale in the face of danger.

It was such a "faint lord" in the eyes of civil officials who ordered the abolition of the sea ban that had been enforced for more than a hundred years and the five-port trade.

It was such a "faint monarch" in the eyes of civil officials who accepted Xie Shen's New Deal, ordered land clearing, and changed commercial taxes.

Even Wang Shouren was once full of prejudice against Zhengde.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was not as unbearable as they imagined.

Maybe His Majesty's personal morality is a little bit worse, but he does not lack enterprising spirit and sense of responsibility to the country.

It's just that His Majesty's sense of responsibility is not on the lips.

Once it comes to major matters of national destiny, His Majesty can still make the most appropriate decision.

"Your Majesty, I obey the order!"

Wang Shouren said resolutely.

In his opinion, there is nothing better than the unity of the monarch and his subjects.Those who can do this are ancient figures.Which of the neighboring dynasties didn't the monarchs and ministers suspect each other, which eventually led to internal and external troubles?
Not to mention unique, there must not be many monarchs who trust their subjects like today's son.

At this moment, Wang Shouren felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to step into the center of the court during the Zhengde Dynasty.

If he made his mark in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he would at most be at the height of Li Dongyang, Xu Pu, Liu Jian and others.

It's not that the three elders are not good, it's just that it's hard for this level of contribution to make fundamental changes to Daming.

The three elders are more like tinkerers, and Daming will patch up any loopholes.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, some things have long been rotten, and they are rotten to the bone, and it cannot be repaired by repairing them alone.If you can't make up your mind to cut off the rotten part, it will spread to the whole body, and it will be too late.

Wang Shouren felt more and more that Xie Shen was not easy.

Xie Shen is still young, so he has to take on the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Daming.Not only did he have to convince the arrogant emperor, but he also had to fight against almost the entire civil servant group and vested interest groups.

Even Li Shoufu and Xie Cifu may not be completely on Xie Shen's side.

As long as Xie Shen takes a wrong step, those beasts in clothes who hate Xie Shen for touching their interests will swarm up and tear him to pieces.

Therefore, Xie Shen walked very cautiously, stopping and analyzing every step carefully, and never made a wrong step.

Wang Shouren took Xie Shen as an example, and always reminded himself not to become those beasts in clothes.

Maybe he doesn't have Xie Shen's talent and keen insight, but as long as he has a dedicated heart for Daming, he will make some contributions to some extent.

When today's young man practiced Zuo and needed good ministers to help him, it was obviously not enough to rely on Xie Shen alone.

"Wang Qing, don't worry. I am the Son of Heaven, and I am ordered by heaven. I bless you will be fine. You must take down Nanchang and end King Ning's lair! I want to watch King Ning run around like a bereaved dog. I want Watching him kneel at my feet begging for mercy!"

Zhu Houzhao was very excited. He raised his arms and said: "The former emperor handed over the land of Daming to me, and he definitely didn't let Xiaoxiao covet it. I want them to regret what they did!"

The water system in Jiangxi is vertical and horizontal, and just one Poyang Lake supports thousands of creatures.

Compared with Jiangnan, Jiangxi's scenery is a little less charming, but it doesn't give in at all when it comes to atmosphere.

After Wang Shouren led his army across the Le'an River, looking at the strange scenery by the river, he said with emotion.

"Marshal, we have to disembark at the bend in front, and we have to walk to Poyang Lake."

A lieutenant reported respectfully.

"kindness."

Wang Shouren responded lightly, waved his hand and said, "Pass down the order. When we arrive at the river bend, all the soldiers will put on common people's clothes, wrap their weapons in Gebu and put them in the package. The commander-in-chief is not allowed to take out the weapons unless he gives an order." !"

"Order!"

The lieutenant clasped his fists and responded loudly.

Wang Shouren was not at ease.

In fact, he also doubted whether this route was the best.But after thinking about it, I still feel that traveling from Le'an River to Poyang Lake and crossing to attack Nanchang is the most reliable.

This is tantamount to coming to King Ning's lair and attacking from behind.

Although King Ning did not leave many troops in Nanchang, he would be in danger of being surrounded once he was discovered.

So this time he can only succeed but not fail.

If it fails, it will be difficult for him to bring this army out of Jiangxi safely.King Ning's subordinates will definitely risk their lives to intercept him.

Even for these brothers, he, Wang Shouren, must not make any mistakes in decision-making!
