Chapter 390

What the emperor said made Kong Youde feel gratifying, and Geng Zhongming "whimpered". Nothing else, what the emperor said was all the truth. They came from Dongjiang Town, and they had a very deep relationship with Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong is now Taking this as a bait to guard Zhenjiang Fort to the death, he left with a sense of tragedy, and it is also true that someone in the court impeached Mao Wenlong. Thinking of this, it is even more desolate. How many people know the bitterness of it?
Yang Reform just asked a little bit, and he started to cry about these pioneers who will perish in Nanming in the future. Thinking about these guys who will be crowned kings by the Qing Dynasty in the future, he can only sigh that at the end of Ming Dynasty, life was extremely difficult. It's not Chongzhen alone, who knows how much bitterness there is from having a life-and-death feud with Donglu, who can eat meat and drink blood, to turning to Donglu as a running dog, and destroying Nanming?

Yang Reform lamented the impermanence of history once. Seeing a few people crying in disgrace, he comforted him again: "Okay, don't cry anymore, I know you have sad things in your hearts, but crying alone can't solve anything." The question is, what your Marshal Mao urgently needs now is support, not your tears. If you have sad things in your heart, grievances and grievances in your heart, you must use the blood of the enemy to wash away, instead of crying here. "Yang Reform changed his usual gentle face and reprimanded him severely.

Several future "anti-kings" were reprimanded by the emperor, so they stopped crying and stopped crying.

"Among you, apart from Lei Dayong who will definitely go, one of you three will follow Lei Dayong to rescue Mao Wenlong. Which of you three wants to go?" Yang Reform reprimanded the three An "anti-king", began to talk about business.

"Your Majesty, the students are willing to go..." Kong Youde was the first to say.

"Your Majesty, the students are willing to go..." Shang Kexi followed up.

"Your Majesty, the students are willing to go..." Geng Zhongming almost followed suit.

Yang Reform nodded in satisfaction. Judging from the current situation, these people are still flesh-and-blood people with sincere feelings. Who would have thought that they would become dogs in wild boar skin in the future?Things are impermanent!
"Very good, but this time, apart from Lei Dayong, only one of you can go..." Yang Reform inspected several people with his eyes, and saw that several people were eager to try, as if choosing me, and exchanged There was still an argument between them.

"...Let's do this, Shang Kexi, you follow Lei Dayong to support Mao Wenlong." Seeing that several people were arguing, Yang Reform appointed Shang Kexi to go.

"Yes, the students obey." Shang Kexi immediately agreed happily.Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming saw that the emperor had already been crowned, so they had to stop fighting and stop fighting.

Yang Reform took a look at Lei Dayong, he was delighted, and said: "You two come with me, I have something to tell you."

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming knew that the emperor had something to explain to them, so they withdrew.

Monk Lei Dayong happily followed the emperor to the side of the big sand table on the platform.

"Yuanji..." Yang Reform asked.

"The students are here." Shang Kexi immediately stood up and agreed.

"Your father is Shang Xueli?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, my father is a scholar of etiquette." Shang Kexi immediately agreed.

"...your father is a true warrior and hero..." Yang Reform looked at Shang Kexi and said.

"Does Your Majesty know about my father?" Shang Kexi asked with a hint of surprise.

"Why don't you know? Your father is the deputy commander of my Ming Dynasty. Back then, he also sneaked into Donglu's lair with the heart of death. Although it was unsuccessful, Donglu's relocation to his lair was somewhat related to your father and the others, so I said, Your father was a warrior and a hero. In the eyes of the world, they failed, but in my eyes, they were not. Your fathers, with their blood, proved their existence and their value ..., proved that they are heroes, I have great admiration for your father, and I often sigh with emotion, if I have a few more iron-blooded men like your father in Daming, why worry about being immortal?" Yang Reform said with a look of emotion .

"Your Majesty..." Shang Kexi lowered his head, and his eyes turned red again. Back then, his father and several other deputy commanders led thousands of people to detour and attack the Tartars' lair from the rear. It was a feat, but unfortunately, they were discovered No success, all died in battle, after a moment of commotion, they quickly sank down, not many people could remember, unexpectedly, the emperor still remembered, and when the emperor mentioned it, Shang Ke burst into tears.

"...I am a warrior in the Dongjiang River, a hero, loyal to the emperor and serving the country. It can be said that the servants of the predecessors... In the past, your fathers and fathers detoured to attack the old nest of the Eastern Captives with a mortal heart. Now Mao Wenlong defends Zhenjiang Fort with a mortal heart. His loyalty, We can learn from each other, and I will never forget it. This time, Mao Wenlong also went there with the heart of death, which is exactly the same as your father’s. , Therefore, this time, I will fully support Mao Wenlong, and I want to give an explanation to the warriors and heroes of Dongjiang. Therefore, among the three, I chose you, because I hope that you can inherit the strength of character, legacy, and legacy of your parents. Your courage opened a path of survival for Mao Wenlong,...Your father did not go down the road back then, I hope you can continue to go on...With the heroes of the Dongjiang, why should I worry about not being destroyed?" Yang Reform said.

"...Your Majesty, the students are willing, willing..." Shang Kexi said here, already weeping uncontrollably. His father's feat of attacking Donglu back then was a sensation, but it was followed by forgetting. I remember, the feat of those thousands of warriors who went to attack Donglu’s lair back then was now mentioned to such a high level by the emperor. It is gratifying to say nothing but excitement, emotion, and tears...

"Okay,...to be honest, earlier, a minister in the court suggested that I send a highly respected veteran who is familiar with naval warfare to take command of Mao Wenlong. However, I denied it. I think that the athletes of Dongjiang have heroic parents. As a pioneer, there must be heroic descendants as successors. I think it is better to give this opportunity to young people, to the descendants of heroes. I think that the descendants of heroes will know how to fulfill their fathers’ last wishes better.  … ...This is also a chance for the dead heroes of Dongjiang to prove themselves. They are gone, but they still have descendants, and their unfinished business is still going on. Therefore, I give you this opportunity Fortunately, I hope that you can take up this heavy burden, stir up the expectations of your fathers and heroes, stir up their unfinished business... so that they can see the day of the extinction of the Eastern Captives under the Nine Springs..." Yang Reform looked at Shang Kexi with serious eyes.

Shang Kexi only felt that a thousand and one thousand burdens were on his body, he felt that he could not breathe, his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't stand upright. , the strength in my heart came out spontaneously again, my whole body was full of strength, and I stood firm, but tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.

"Okay, don't cry, crying can't solve the problem..." Yang Reform sighed, life is so impermanent, Shang Kexi's father died in a heroic battle in a sneak attack on Wild Boar Pi's lair, Shang Kexi and Wild Boar Pi can be said to have killed their father Enmity, irreconcilable, is also a bloody battle with the wild boar skin for many years. I don’t know how many people in the family were killed by the wild boar skin. To seek refuge with his father-killing enemy, with an enemy with whom he has a deep blood feud?Yang Reform's eyes on people became blurred.

"Lei is useful!" Yang Reform said.

"The student is here." Lei Dayong didn't cry today. He is not from Dongjiang Town. He didn't have a direct impression of Dongjiang Town's affairs, and he didn't have much emotion. He was so emotional, and when the other three cried, he had no choice but to keep his face sullen and silent. Now when he heard the emperor ask himself, he immediately agreed.

"Dayong, this time I went to support Mao Wenlong. Although I said that the Yi people's fleet was the main one, it meant combat. That's because the Yi people's warships had a lot of artillery and could shoot cannons. It must be in my hands, Daming,...such as replenishing ammunition, replenishing supplies, such as sending personnel and supplies to Zhenjiang Fort,...you took people and boarded the warships of the Yi people. Apart from learning how to operate the warships with them, the main thing is Supervising and guarding against those barbarians, usually manipulating warships and firing artillery to fight, they can be responsible, you just follow along, but at critical moments, you can take over their warships, for example, if they want to escape, for example, for example, if they steal and play tricks, for example They want to join the enemy..." Yang Reform began to explain the specific things.

"Students understand..." Lei Dayong was thinking about going to the battlefield, but he really didn't have much preparation for going to war on a warship. Although he had learned some things about naval warfare, but for naval warfare and ships, It is relatively unfamiliar, but Lei Dayong is not picky. The place where the battle is now is Zhenjiang Fort is relatively fierce. It is a wish to be able to go to Zhenjiang Fort. He is a well-known general, but he is still squatting in the platform staff department, and he has been thinking about going out. Now that he finds an opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

"...The two of you, apart from studying and supervising the barbarians, you also have another important task, which is to manage and coordinate the reinforcements to Mao Wenlong.... Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town itself has some water camps, and the boats of these water camps Little, if you talk about artillery battles, that’s not enough. However, it’s okay to transport troops and supplies. Therefore, my idea is that the warships of the Yi people are mainly responsible for combat, while Mao Wenlong’s water battalion is responsible for transporting supplies. , Transport personnel, supplies, security, etc., as an auxiliary on the battlefield... After you go to Zhenjiang Fort, you will manage and coordinate the relationship between the main battle and the auxiliary. Everything is based on supporting Mao Wenlong. When necessary, I promise You don't care about the cost, even if the battleship sinks, it doesn't matter. The battle of Zhenjiang Fort is likely to be protracted. Therefore, in addition to the reinforcements from Maowen Longpi Island going to Zhenjiang Fort, it is very likely that my new army will also go up, so , The coordination between the multi-party joint operations must be done well, and there will be no problems. This is why I sent you two, do you understand?" Yang Reform's eyes wandered between the capital, Zhenjiang Fort, and Pidao , said slowly.

"Students understand." The two agreed seriously. After listening to the emperor's explanation, they realized that the emperor had already made a lot of preparations and plans.

"It's good to understand. When something happens, you two should discuss it more. Don't be impulsive. I'm too far away from Pidao and Zhenjiang Fort. It's obviously impossible to command in real time. The two of you will represent the staff and represent me. Commanding, responding, and supporting Mao Wenlong in combat, everything is based on supporting Mao Wenlong. If something goes wrong, I only ask you..." Yang Reform said in a stern tone.

"Students understand." The two agreed at the same time. After listening to the emperor's explanation, they also have a certain understanding of what they are going to do and what rights they have. Lei Dayong is the main one, and Shang Kexi is the assistant. The Yi people fought, and coordinated the relationship between the new army in the capital and the reinforcements from Pidao.

"It's good to understand. There is still a timing issue when the fleet goes to support Mao Wenlong this time. This depends on the situation of the battle between Donglu and Mao Wenlong. If Donglu has nothing to do with Mao Wenlong's grenade defense method, then the battleship can temporarily If you don't go up, you can stay on Phi Island or the Yalu River...Depending on the situation, if the battle in the Zhenjiang Fort battlefield is fierce and the two sides are at a stalemate, then you can consider sending warships up, or Donglu is in an advantage when attacking the city. When Mao Wenlong was at an extreme disadvantage, at this time, the battleship could go up..., and it had to be taken by surprise, otherwise, I was afraid that the battleship would go up too early, and Donglu had no intention of fighting, so he left early. The strategy is contradictory. Now the whole north's grand strategy is the word "entanglement". Mao Wenlong's tenacious defense of Zhenjiang Fort is also the idea of ​​"entanglement". Sending the battleship up, then it is likely to scare Donglu away, then Mao Wenlong's painstaking efforts will be in vain, so you must grasp the timing of the battleship's appearance, and wait until Donglu shed blood in Zhenjiang Fort You can only attack when you have flowed enough and can't give up. In this way, even if Donglu can't parry your warship, he is not willing to retreat like this, so he will definitely find a way to entangle with you. Of course, if Donglu’s blood is not shed enough and Mao Wenlong can’t hold on, you can go up too. The premise of all this is that Mao Wenlong can’t have an accident, do you understand?” Yang Reform wrote another long speech , The matter of Zhenjiang Fort is too complicated and the relationship is too far-reaching, so I have to explain a few more words. Yang Reform has mentioned all the problems and precautions that can be thought of.

"Students understand." Monk Lei Dayong Kexi listened carefully. As soon as the emperor said, they understood what the emperor meant. After staying on the platform for such a long time, what they saw and heard had a much wider field of vision. The hairy boy who understands.

"...Okay, let me remind you that 'entanglement' is the core of this grand strategy. If you recklessly cause Donglu to lose enough blood and send warships there and Donglu retreats, then you may have to bear the responsibility , the whole grand strategy is not only fighting against Donglu in Zhenjiang Fort, but also Yuan Chonghuan in Jinning and Mangui in Mongolia. , if your recklessness causes Donglu to retreat suddenly, then it is very likely that Yuan Chonghuan's Donglu troops will double, and he may suffer huge losses. If it is because of you, I will hold him accountable..." Yang Reform said sternly.

"Students understand." It was the first time for the two of them to follow the emperor's vision and set their sights on the entire northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty. The feeling that the entire battlefield was clear at a glance and had a plan in their chests was imprinted in their minds for the first time. There was a kind of overwhelming pressure.

"Okay, I'll explain everything that needs to be explained. For the rest, you should think about it more. In addition, you should get acquainted with Peter, the commander of the barbarian fleet, and communicate with him. This will help you. You will set off soon, and there is not much time for you to prepare, so you should prepare as well..."

……

Zhenjiang Fort.

Mao Wenlong would stand on the city tower every day, holding a telescope to observe the situation on the opposite side.

"Mao Da, what's new over there today?" Mao Wenlong asked his own general as soon as he came to the tower.

"Father Commander, there seems to be some movement from the Tatars today. It seems that they are rushing to build an archery tower. My child has observed it with a binoculars. It started yesterday. Maybe I got some new news..." Mao Da replied immediately.

"Oh, that's it!... It is estimated that the Tartars' brigade is coming, otherwise, the Tartars would not have built so many archery towers." After retracting the binoculars, Mao Wenlong looked around at his followers, the generals.

Following them, the generals discussed again, and some said: "Father, the children have rested for a long time, and if they don't move around, their bones will rust..."

"Yeah! Commander, everyone is weak, and they are going to fight the Tartars..." Another general happily followed up. The last time he harvested nearly a thousand heads, it was a bumper harvest. Who wouldn't want to fight such a simple war? like?Now we are waiting for someone from the court to identify and reward the silver, and the emperor has always been generous and keeps his word, so the reward of silver will naturally not be less than a penny, so everyone likes it very much, and many people even plan to buy land and marry him. daughter-in-law.

"That's a good thing!" Mao Wenlong said lightly. He knew that the generals thought about it. The scene that is worse than hell is by no means as relaxed and comfortable as last time. Of course, it is too early to say this, and there is no need to tell others. When the time comes, hell will naturally appear. It is a person, a ghost, or a god. It's still a Buddha, when that time comes, let's see again.

"The Tartars built the archery tower because they thought they were standing high enough to see inside the city wall and suppress my Zhenjiang Fort. Mao Da, how are you going to deal with it?" Mao Wenlong pondered for a while, then asked again.

"Father, it's still the same. If it's too close or scattered, use Dafolang to deal with it. If there are too many, use cannons to bombard his mother, and let the Tartars taste our power..." Mao Da didn't care Speaking of. [Francis machine has many models, which can be regarded as a large-scale rifle with thickened, lengthened, and replaceable barrels. At that time, the range was much farther than ordinary muskets, and the power was much greater. Of course, it was also much heavier. Ordinary individual soldiers can't afford it. 】
