Chapter 1611
It is ugly when the night is dark. The water village is faintly lit. So a sedan chair came from Pill Apprentice and arrived outside the Lumen of the Water Village in a short time.
"My official Pill Apprentice, I have to ask General Zheng to discuss something important."
Just listen to the foul-mouthed inside: "The dog entered, the egg matter in the middle of the night..."
Then the door opened, and Pill Apprentice, with a dark face, stepped back on the sedan chair and entered the water village.
Question: "Quickly report to General Zheng, Jiangning has an urgent matter to report."
"Wait."
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Pill Apprentice The county lord only saw Zheng Zhibao.
Zheng Zhibao wore a single coat, her breasts were exposed, and her sleepy eyes were rude, which made the county respect particularly unpleasant, and she felt more right about her decision in her heart.
"Master Chen is here late at night. Could it be with this General to discuss whose bird's size is?" Zheng Zhibao said frivolously.
Chen Xianzun's face was black: "General Zheng, a general of a country, how can he be so frivolous? Don't talk nonsense. The official arrived overnight, and Jiangning emergency report will convey it."
Zheng Zhibao curl one's lip: "Let’s talk about it, what's the urgent report? The urgent report is also urgent for a big thing. There are so many urgent reports."
It's not that Zheng Zhibao is so frivolous, it is true. There are too many daily reports, it's commonplace. There was a slight movement on the other side, Nanjing Jiangning was in a mess, and the trivial report was also urgent, which made Zheng Zhibao not particularly profitable.
Chen Xianzun said: "The Xia Army on the opposite side of Jiangpu had a lot of noise during midnight. The Xia Army has been stationed in Jiangpu for more than a month. At this time, the changes may be suspected of crossing the river. The adults in Jiangning, Nanjing are afraid of Jiangning. If there is a loss, the officer will inform General Zheng to prepare for war. If the Xia army crosses the river, please move the army to Pill Apprentice County and return to Jiangning at the opportunity."
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he changed his mind. Said: "This General is stationed in Pill Apprentice, and my brother is stationed in Longtan. Pill Apprentice is far away and Longtan is near. Why should you stay closer and seek farther?" Urgent report."
Zheng Zhibao sighed: "Since it has been reported to my elder brother, why bother to pass on me? Pill Apprentice is a strategic location for the navy. Take it short, and there is no power to cross the Yangtze River!"
Chen Xianzun said: "Pill Apprentice is the most important place, how does the officer know? However, Pill Apprentice is heavier than Jiangning? Besides, there is no navy in Jiangbei. How can Pill Apprentice lose by riding on foot? Longtan has Governor Zheng Zhilong enough. Could it be that General Zheng only fought in water battles, but couldn't fight land battles?"
Zheng Zhibao felt unhappy after hearing this. Said: "How can this General not be fought in the land warfare?" But he also took Chen Xianzun's words deeply.
He knows a lot about Jiangbei, how long did Xia Wangyingyi take off? The navy is no better than the army. As long as the army has money and food, it can pull up a large army in three or two months. But the navy wants a warship!
Almost all of the shipbuilding industry of the Great Ming Dynasty is concentrated in the southeast coast. The north does not have that foundation at all. The Ming court has already abolished martial arts.
The King Xia who swept the north of the Yangtze River and inherited the legacy of Ming Ting naturally did not have the foundation to build a navy unit that competed with the Zheng Family in less than a year.
However, when Pill Apprentice was garrisoned, Zheng Zhilong had to tell him to be nailed to death here, to take care of the back road as the main force, and watch from the horns. Without the big brother Zheng Zhilong, he would never leave the camp.
Said: "Although the words of the county honoree are not bad, unless my elder brother orders the transfer, I will never leave the camp easily."
Chen Xianzun browses tightly knit: "This statement from the general Not bad. It’s enough to have Governor Zheng Zhilong’s main navy patrolling the river. Jiangning can’t afford to lose. What if Xia Jun crosses the river, master and disciple? If you lose Jiangning, what is the meaning of Pill Apprentice also? The general is stationed here. It’s really useless to say. It’s more important to pull out camps and move divisions."
"This..." Zheng Zhibao paused for a moment and said: "Aren't there tens of thousands of troops on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Chen Xian Zun said: "The Xia Jun is strong, and the soldiers of the south of the Yangtze River have little history of war. If the Xia Jun breakthrough passes the blockade of the river, it will be difficult to resist. However, General Zheng and Governor Zheng are both strong soldiers. , Jiangning lords naturally rely on them. Just in case."
"That's what I said, but..." Zheng Zhibao pondered then said: "Xia Jun changes, but he may not cross the river to attack Jiangning. Maybe it’s because of other things? If my brother’s main navy patrols the surface of Jiangning, Xia Jun may not be able to cross over. Let’s do this, Master Chen waits a moment, if the Yè Xià Army is indeed coming, and my brother blocks If it fails, how about sending troops to this General?"
Chen Xianzun thought for a while, and said, "It's fine. Just listen to General Zheng. The officer stays in the water village for the time being and asks General Zheng to give it to the officer. Arrange a dormitory to facilitate timely response."
Zheng Zhibao was nodded, called the soldiers, and arranged a separate bamboo building for Chen Xianzun, and went to rest again.
The scale of Pill Apprentice Water Village is not small, after all, 10,000 people are stationed there. All of them are made of bamboo and wood, which is simple and cool. Chen Xianzun and a few entourages arrived at the bamboo building, closed the door, lighted the lights, and made people secretly warned outside, and then they could speak.
"The messenger also saw that Zheng Zhibao is not a person who can be easily fooled." Chen Xianzun said: "Zheng Zhilong came for profit, and his affiliation only listened to the dispatch of one person. Without Zheng Zhilong speaking, Zheng Zhibao would never Easily fall into a trap. He didn't even read the forged Hongguang letter."
The messenger was a youngster. He used to pretend to be Chen Xianzun's entourage. At this time, he lifts the head and he looks good, hearing this. Said: "Zheng Zhibao is really not easy to fool. But it is not important. We also have many follow-up methods waiting for him."
Chen Xian said: "If this is the case, can the messenger tell me something? The county has its heart. King Xiang Xia, and people here, there is absolutely no possibility of leaking the news."
The messenger said with a smile: "Never mind. This is the end of the matter, it is not easy to blind the county prince. The king is in charge. In the Jiangnan War Zone, six thousand elite soldiers have quietly crossed the river, and the primary goal is here. In addition, the Eastern Sea Army War Zone is also coming, presumably the fleet is already on the river outside Pill Apprentice at this time."
Chen Xianzun said in surprise: "It is so! Where is Zheng Zhibao also alive?!"
The messenger said with a smile: "The Fujian Navy has rich experience in water warfare, and Pill Apprentice strategically wants Land. In order to prevent accidents, it is natural to go with full strength. If Zheng Zhibao can be tricked out of the water village and his navy can be turned into an army, only six thousand elite soldiers crossing the river can defeat it. If you can’t trick it out, it’s not also. What? I think Zheng Zhibao’s defense is slack, when the time comes to capture the thieves and kings, hold this person, and Pill Apprentice will naturally go down in no time."
Chen Xianzun vomited lightly. He sighed: "So really foolproof?"
"Naturally foolproof." The messenger believed in himself: "It's not difficult to hold Zheng Zhibao. It's just that Chen Xianzun will find a place to hide first."
Chen Xianzun is naturally aware of the danger of turmoil, and immediately nodded: "You can't fool Zheng Zhibao, so it's better to leave immediately."
He is also afraid of death after all.
The messenger said: "I told Zheng Zhibao that I was waiting for news from Jiangning. Now you are leaving. Do you think Zheng Zhibao is the head of Elm?"
Chen Xianzun did not speak immediately Up.
Time is slowly passing by, and the ugliness is gradually gone. And Pill Apprentice was silent, except for the watchman and the wild cats, there was no rest.
At this time, among the grassy woods on the banks of the river outside Pill Apprentice, an army was approaching quickly and silently.
