How could this be true? It’s obviously nonsense! Shi Kefa said in his heart: Only Gao Jie can ask this kind of question. After all, he was born a bandit and has never read a book...
At this time, Shi Kecheng, who ranked second and tenth in the imperial examination in the 16th year of Chongzhen, replied: "This is most likely true!"
"Chibao, what are you talking about?" Shi Kefa turned his head and looked at his cousin, his face darkened.
"Brother, I don't know much about this either..."
Shi Kefa said calmly: "Then don't talk nonsense!"
"But I can be sure that there are 30,000 soldiers in the new army that can defeat the enemy. Everyone believes that Qiantui Master is the reincarnation of Taizu Emperor Gao!" Shi Kocheng paused and said in a more serious tone, "Because they can really benefit from following Qiantui Master. The service is good, the military pay is sufficient, and there is no deduction. Moreover, Qiantose also promised the people below to get the land in the south of the Yangtze River.
The most important thing is that they can really win the battle by following Chitose! "
Shi Kocheng said slowly: "Qian Suiye defeated the old camp of rogue bandits in Tianjin Wei, and killed another 3,000 Manchu Tatars in Dagukou... These were all great victories! Especially the one in Dagukou. In this battle, more than two thousand people were beheaded!"
This time the whole hall is going crazy!
"real or fake?"
"How is it possible to defeat 3,000 Tatars?"
"Isn't this just taking credit?"
"It must be to kill a good person and take credit..."
Shi Kocheng shook his head: "It's true! During the Battle of Dagukou, I had already arrived at Dagukou City. Although I didn't go up to the city to watch the battle, I was inside the city wall listening to what was going on outside. It was really like thunder. The shouts are like a wave! I don’t know how many people are shouting, "Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated". The morale is really like a rainbow.
After the fight was over, I went out of the city to see it. The dead people and horses were really scattered one after another, and most of the dead were Tatars! In addition, many were captured alive, most of whom were members of the Tatar Zhenghuang Banner Han Army. Their heads were shaved, leaving only a small braid on the back of the head. They knelt down in a large area, crying and begging for their lives. But then he still had his head cut off! I even went to see the execution, it was really miserable..."
Shi Dewei on the side also said: "Xiaguan also heard the same thing in Dengzhou, and also went to see the training of the new army in Kenan. Before the two exercises every day, he would shout 'The Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated', which is indeed a shout. It moves like thunder and has extraordinary momentum.
Moreover, it seems that everyone among the new soldiers and officers who came into contact with Xia Guan believed that Qian Suiye was the reincarnation of Taizu Emperor Gao. "
Everyone in the lobby fell silent. If you had a sharper ear, you might still hear the sound of gasping.
Three to two thousand Tatars were wiped out in one battle. Isn't this too cruel?
After coming for a while, Huang Degong broke the silence, "Is it really two drills a day? You said the new army to overcome difficulties drills twice a day?"
"At least twice," Stewie nodded, "once in the morning and once in the afternoon, two hours of practice each, and sometimes night exercises are also added."
"How can it be?"
"How can you practice like this?"
"Can the people below agree?"
The group of civil and military officials in the hall have all led troops, and no one has ever seen an army that drills two or three times a day. One time is two hours, two exercises is four hours, and three exercises is six hours! Isn't this crazy?
Shi Kecheng interjected: "The people below agree... They all believe that Qiantui Master is the reincarnation of Taizu Emperor Gao!"
Shi Dewei also said: "Although I haven't stayed in Dengzhou for a few days, I have personally witnessed the training of the new army in overcoming difficulties. It is true that they drill two or three times a day, and the training is strict, and they are often detained with military sticks."
Shi Kecheng said: "With such a practice, there is no mutiny, not even deserters. Isn't it because everyone believes that the prince is the reincarnation of Taizu Emperor Gao!"
It seems to make sense!
The high-ranking officials in the hall frowned and stopped questioning.
The hall of Nuo University once again fell into suffocating silence. I don't know how long it took before I heard Gao Jie cough: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing! We have heard it now. , it’s just a matter of seeing it with your own eyes... Why don’t you go with a few people and see Master Qiantose and the new army of Kenan with your own eyes. If Emperor Taizu Gao is really reincarnated, that would be a good thing!"
Shi Kefa's eyes were burning and he suddenly stared at Gao Jie: "Does Mr. Gao want to take a trip to Dengzhou?"
"I won't go," Gao Jie shook his head, "There are still a lot of military affairs here in Yanzhou... There is no owner in Jinan now, and this town wants to take it back."
"This town is the commander-in-chief of Shandong," Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, hurriedly interjected. "If you want to go north to Jinan, then count this town as your share. General Gao, let's send troops together!"
"Da Sima, what do you think?" Gao Jie asked Shi Kefa with a smile.
Shi Kefa then retracted his gaze, nodded and said: "Since you two want to send troops to recover Jinan, then I will allow you to send troops. But you must be careful not to conflict with the Tatars." He paused and said, "Recover Jinan." In the battle of Jinan, General Gao was the main commander, followed by General Liu."
"The general will get the order!"
"The general will get the order!"
The two commander-in-chief immediately stood up and accepted the order, and walked away with a smile - if the prince was a soft persimmon, they would not mind intervening to get some profit, but now the prince is probably the reincarnation of Taizu Emperor Gao, so it is better not to Wandering through muddy waters.
Shi Kefa frowned and said: "Since we want to use troops against Jinan, our headquarters will be stationed in Yanzhou, so we can't leave. Who among you is willing to go to Dengzhou?"
"Come down and take a trip!" said Lu Zhenfei, Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Huai'an, "I'm here to escort a batch of grain and wages to the Governor of Water Transport."
"Da Sima, I also want to go to Dengzhou." Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying also twirled his beard and said, "Xiaoguan recently received an order from the Prince of Fujun, asking him to escort the deposed King of Tang Dynasty within the high wall. Going to Dengzhou is a good opportunity to go to Dengzhou to broaden my horizons."
Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Fengyang, also said: "Let's go to Dengzhou with Ma Zhijun! By the way, we can pay a visit to the emperor!"
...
Commander Zhu Chunjie of the Jin Yiwei hurriedly entered the Fujun Generalissimo's Mansion. When he arrived at the study room where Zhu Cixiang worked on weekdays, Prince Zhu was selecting topics for the upcoming "Denglianke" literary competition. His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and all his thoughts were focused on a few test questions written in his notebook.
Zhu Chunjie didn't dare to disturb him. At the same time, he was a little curious, why did the prince attach so much importance to the upcoming Enke examination?
This time Enkowenbi is at the level of the provincial examination. Even if he can bring out a few usable talents, it won't have much effect on the overall situation of the world, right?
Zhu Cixiang suddenly shook his head and muttered: "What kind of questions are there?"
Then with a wave of his hand, he swept all the pieces of paper with titles in front of him to the floor. Only then did he realize that Zhu Chunjie had arrived, smiled and said, "Chunjie, are you here?"
Zhu Chunjie was one of Zhu Cixiang's closest confidants, so he could go straight into his study without informing him.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Chunjie, respectfully invites the thousand-year-old Lord Jin An." Zhu Chunjie quickly knelt down to Zhu Cihong. Before he could kowtow, Zhu Cihong waved his hand to stop him.
"Chunjie, what's the matter?" Zhu Cixiang asked.
"Master Qiansui," Zhu Chunjie took out two envelopes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Zhu Cihong with both hands, "Letter from Yanzhou and Nanjing!"
Zhu Cixiang quickly took the envelope, looked at the name on the envelope, then chose the envelope with the word "Gong" written on it, opened it, took out the letter paper inside, and read it carefully. After reading it, there was already a smile on my face.
Then he tore open the envelope with the word "may" written on it, took out a piece of letter paper, and looked at it carefully. After watching for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
"Chunjie," Zhu Cixiang handed the letter in his hand to Zhu Chunjie, "take a look."
Zhu Chunjie took the letter and read it again, then frowned and said: "Master Qiansui, Ma Shiying, Lu Zhenfei, and Lu Jiude are coming incognito. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them, right? A lot of people have come to Dengzhou City these days. Juren, scholars, strong men and officers of the garrison are really a bit complicated."
"Discovered?" Zhu Cixiang laughed, "Why did they discover them? Won't they come to the Generalissimo's Mansion to see them themselves? There is nothing that they can't see here in Dengzhou, right?"
When he said this, he suddenly smiled, then took a piece of white paper, picked up the brush, and wrote on it, "The bandits are coming to Denglai, and they are powerful. How should you fight against them?", and then he laughed. Get up: "That's the question!"
