King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 111 The advantage is in me
In the tenth year of Zhengtong, July [-]th, this is the second day that Zhu Jinghong came to power.

At this moment in the capital, the whole court is discussing strategies on how to clean up the mess in Jinling.

But at the moment on the front line of Liyang, a group of military officers were gathering in a small town, all of them looked distressed.

There is no way, all the battles have been fought recently, who can be happy, if the Japanese pirates are not wiped out as soon as possible, everyone may be questioned.

It is normal for everyone to feel bitter after struggling to get to a high position and who is willing to lose everything they have.

The more they think, the more they complain, especially those who are laymen commanding experts.

Of course, the better situation now is that Zhu Jinghong has authorized the various guards to attack the Japanese pirates at any time, without having to wait for the order of the capital all the time.

Before the second siege began, Zhu Jinghong wanted to convene a military meeting in order to boost the morale of the army and wipe out the remaining Japanese pirates in one go.

Those who can come to the meeting today are the commanders of the guards and above, and there are about twenty of them.

The venue was set in a house, and the owner of the house fled, so it was temporarily requisitioned by Zhu Jinghong.

After everyone arrived at the scene, they found that Wang Yang, the commander of the Chuzhou Guard who was questioned two days ago, and Lu Changxin, the commander of the Zhenjiang Guard, also appeared in the meeting hall.

"You two, the crown prince pardoned you innocent?"

Although the crime was condemned by Gao Shu, it was in the name of the prince, so everyone naturally thought that the prince had pardoned them.

"The Thirteenth Master was considerate and let us go!" said Lu Changxin, the commander of the Zhenjiang Guard, and his son was Lu Yuxin.

Immediately someone said: "So that's how it is...Master Thirteen is a sensible person, and he knows that it's not easy for us!"

These words resonated with everyone, and made the resentment in their hearts more clear.

"Sigh... this time, even if the Thirteenth Master is considerate, the Holy Majesty will not spare us!"

Before the Japanese pirates disturbed the mausoleum, they had already killed a group of people. If they fought so badly, the emperor would most likely chop off a few more heads.

Speaking of these, everyone is even more frowning, sighing indescribably.

"Master Thirteen is here!"

The shouts outside made the courtyard quiet, and everyone stood up according to their ranks, waiting for Zhu Jinghong's arrival.

The sound of footsteps gradually came, and Zhu Jinghong in armor appeared at the gate of the courtyard, followed by four generals.

The four were Wang Quanyi and Kong Jinshan, the governor of Jinling, and Qiu Hong and Yang Renzhong, the generals of the Beijing camp.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhu Jinghong walked very slowly, observing a group of military officers left and right, but these people all lowered their heads.

On the platform in the main room of the courtyard, a grand master's chair was set up, and Zhu Jinghong went directly to the back.

It stands to reason that everyone should pay their respects at this time, but Zhu Jinghong did not take his seat at the moment, so everyone could only continue to wait.

Turning around, looking at everyone present, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Everyone..."

Everyone listened intently, their expressions becoming more submissive.

"These days... you have worked hard to fight back and forth, sit down!"

There were stools or chairs behind all the generals, so Zhu Jinghong let them sit.

In the expectation of all the generals, Zhu Jinghong will either scold them once when he comes, or directly arrange combat missions...

Who would have thought that Zhu Jinghong's first sentence was to understand everyone's hard work and let everyone sit down.

Although it was an act of buying people's hearts, everyone present was still a little moved, at least this one was much better than the Prince's gang.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "The capital of Jinling, since the founding of the great ancestor, has gone through dozens of battles and made countless achievements..."

"For 300 years, your ancestors have been ordered by the emperor to suppress bandits and eradicate the rebel party. Countless capable people and lofty minds have emerged among them.

The purpose of this discussion is to announce the battle plan. The key is to boost the morale of the army, so Zhu Jinghong spoke out in praise.

"More than 60 years ago, the Hulu aggressively invaded our borders. The ancestors raised the three-foot sword to conquer the world, and led the soldiers of the capital's guards to fight bloody battles with the enemy. The Mongolian Khan was defeated like a mountain and retreated thousands of miles, and finally fell apart..."

The ancestors of the generals present basically followed Zhu Shenzhuo to fight tough battles, and these words really touched them.

Everyone couldn't help thinking about the scene of their father and grandfather fighting in the battlefield with the emperor Shizu, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Seeing the thoughtful faces of the people, Zhu Jinghong walked down the steps, his eyes swept over the people like a torch, and said in a deep voice: "Under the conquest of your ancestors, the false emperor abdicated and killed himself, and the land of China was unified..."

"Wherever Master Wang goes, the people welcome him wholeheartedly. The state of vigorous vitality and all things competing to flourish is still in front of us..."

Walking to the center of the courtyard, Zhu Jinghong's tone slowed down and said: "The achievements of our ancestors are the first, and you should follow suit and defeat the bandits and kill the enemy to repay the emperor's kindness...Nowadays, just because of a few small defeats, the morale is low. This Jinling battlefield is doomed to be more or less auspicious for us!"

"Could it be that the master of the tiger and wolf who oppressed the world back then has become a lamb to be slaughtered?"

"You guys... are you ashamed?"

The last sentence made everyone ashamed.

Regardless of the honor of the army, the strength of the country, the weapons and equipment, or the comparison of military strength, the imperial army has completely defeated the Japanese pirates, and they are still far ahead in some aspects.

But the majestic teacher of the Celestial Dynasty was defeated by a gang of thieves, and it was a joke to say it.

Thinking of this, all the generals wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. This is really embarrassing.

They are dozens of years old, but their vision and heart are not as good as that of teenagers. Isn't it true that they have lived for so many years in vain.

Compared with the generals of the capital who were feeling emotional, the guards present and the two generals participating in the Beijing camp once again refreshed their understanding of Zhu Jinghong.

This also led to them becoming more and more unable to see through Zhu Jinghong, who seemed close at hand and yet out of reach.

He is the one who is reckless, he is the one who has strategy, he is the one who is domineering, he is the one who loves the soldiers and civilians, he is the one who is ignorant, and he is the one who talks eloquently...

When everyone had different thoughts, Zhu Jinghong had already walked to his chair and was looking at everyone with his hands behind his back.

"I often listen to the teaching of the Holy One, failure and shame are not terrible, but you must know the shame and then be brave..."

"The only thing you have to do now is to unscrew the heads of the Japanese pirates and wash away your shame with their blood!"

"Instead of being sad and dejected like a bitch!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong walked to the back of the chair, glanced at the hanging map, and then turned around.

I saw Zhu Jing's eyes were firm, and his tone was firm: "No matter how you say it, the battle force will be [-] versus [-]...the advantage is mine!"

In the last four words, Zhu Jinghong emphasized his tone, showing his confidence in winning the decisive battle.

Returning to the chair and sitting down, Zhu Jinghong took the teacup from Lu Yuxin and said in a low voice, "Master Wang, read out the military order!"

Wang Quanyi, who was named, stood up, walked to the middle with the paperwork in his hand, and read aloud to the crowd: "Governor Jinling Suppresses the Japanese Commander..."

All the generals stood up and bowed in accordance with the platoon to express their respect for the military order.

"Lead the Gaoyou Guard to defend the northeast, the Yangzhou Guard to defend the southeast, and the Zhenjiang Guard..."

Every guard has been assigned a combat mission, and a new encirclement has been brewing.

The battle plan this time was formulated by Wang Quanyi and several generals, and its feasibility and thoroughness were impeccable.

Under the majestic general situation, it can be said that it is only a matter of time before the Japanese pirates are besieged again.

Standing up, Zhu Jinghong walked down the steps again, looking at everyone present.

These people are no longer bowing their heads, but dare to look at Zhu Jinghong, which shows that the words just now are still useful.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by a group of generals and schools, Zhu Jingyuan said with a serious expression: "Everyone, wipe out the Japanese pirates, wash away the shame, and comfort the sacred heart..."

"Our army will win!"
