Chapter 347 Follow the chapter

Zhang Ning, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly stood up from the chair after reading the book.His right calf was slightly fractured, and he was splinted. He was not completely incapacitated, but according to the doctor's suggestion, he had to avoid activities as much as possible to allow his leg to heal well, so he has been recuperating in the Prince Chu's mansion.

His wife, Zhou Yiniang, and Xu Wenjun, who was doing chores around the house, were both attracted to him and turned their heads to look at him in surprise.Recently, on Tuesday, Niang seems to be getting better and better with Xu Wenjun. When she came to accompany Zhang Ning to relieve boredom, she called Xu Wenjun to take care of the daily life; The king is a servant and servant.

Erniang couldn't help asking: "Husband, what happened? The imperial doctor said that you should try not to move your legs, the important thing is to heal your injuries."

Zhang Ning's face was a little ugly, and he turned his eyes to Zhu Heng's letter on the table.Seeing this, Er Niang asked if she could read it, and after getting permission, she picked it up and read it.

In the letter, Nai Zhuheng described the process of the defeat at length, analyzing weapons, combat effectiveness of soldiers, tactics and other details. Zhou Niang could hardly understand the military aspects; A professional architectural design master is talking about how to use materials, why they should be used in this way, etc., seems to understand a little bit, but is completely incomprehensible.But on Tuesday, Niang finally understood the main meaning, that is, Zhu Heng suffered a defeat in Jiujiang Mansion, and he might not be able to defeat the imperial army, and the consequences would be serious. [

"It seems that I can't continue to support here, I have to go to the front line immediately." Zhang Ning said after thinking for a while.

"Immediately...today?" Mother on Tuesday looked back at the sun outside.

Zhang Ning nodded in agreement.He had already thought about taking Zhu Heng's military power suddenly, which would hurt Zhu Heng's self-esteem and prestige, and other issues; but these small details are obviously out of consideration.He must win this battle and drive the officers and troops back to the north bank of the Yangtze River; the Shenji Camp should have only about 1 troops crossing the river, and the total number of infantry, cavalry and artillery troops transferred from the Yongding Camp to the Eastern Front is more than [-]. If you still can't win on the battlefield like this, you will have to face hundreds of thousands of troops and you will be unable to fight this battle, let alone maintain the separatist regime against the imperial court.In his view, any strategy and tactics are based on the ability to compete on the battlefield. Otherwise, no matter how well conceived it is, it will be self-entertaining and self-entertaining, and it will be useless.

He thought about it and said: "Madam, go and call someone, and order the captain of the guard, Li Zhen, to prepare a sturdy carriage... It is best to get some cotton, and let him find a way for me to ride in the carriage." It's because I don't have confidence in ancient medical technology, and I don't want to become disabled because of a slight fracture. "Send another person to report to the concubine mother. Before I leave, I want to confess a few words in front of her."

Then he looked down at his clothes, a silk satin robe with tufted flowers, although the satin was soft and comfortable, it looked like a rich man.So he asked Xu Wenjun to find him a full set of military uniforms and accessories that he usually wears.

After a while, Mother Tuesday came back, but Xu Wenjun didn't return for a long time. Zhang Ning remembered that there was no military uniform he was wearing in the yard here, and he had to go to another house to get it.

In fact, the Chu Palace is very comfortable to live in. There are mountains, waters and pavilions, and there are lotus leaves in the lake.But marching and fighting are completely different. Even if you are a prince or general, you can’t be comfortable in the barracks. Traveling is not tourism, and sleeping in the open is inevitable. At most, you can live in tents. It is common for mosquitoes to be unable to sleep, and it is also normal not to take a bath for ten and a half months; under the conditions of ancient times, "it is difficult to go out half a step at home" to be honest.However, in Zhang Ning's mind, running around and enduring hardships is a man's business, and when he becomes an adult, he should work hard for all kinds of things. Is a man who is fat and fat still called a man; easy things are probably "women" In people's days, like these "ladies" can stay at the house all day long without having to work.

When Xu Wenjun finally came back, he took off all his clothes, leaving no underwear left, and then asked Wenjun to put on another clean set of clothes for him.The two people in the room are both his wives and concubines, so he doesn't shy away from it.But the sun was high outside, in broad daylight, the two women blushed instantly.

It's nothing, Zhang Ning had just passed on his trousers, and before he put on his jacket, Yao Ji walked in with a white-clothed sword attendant, but the door was left open, and she bumped into him.Seeing this, Zhang Ning hurriedly said that he was being rude, and asked Xu Wenjun to take the inner lining of his shirt and wear it.It's important for a man to be shirtless, so Yao Ji didn't avoid it. She asked Zhang Ning's body intentionally while she was asking.

A man in his early 26s is physically mature. Although Zhang Ning doesn't have much time to exercise, he just sometimes does sit-ups when he gets up in the morning, but the reason for his long-term running is that he has no tendency to gain weight at all.The body is a bit thin, but the mature bones and muscle lines have already been formed. The shoulders, pectoral and abdominal muscles reveal a sense of strength unique to men, which is even more beautiful in the eyes of the feminine Yao Ji. Her face became hot for a while, and her expression became a little unnatural.

Zhang Ning also seemed to be a little narcissistic. Seeing a dressing table in the room, he leaned on his crutches and walked to the bronze mirror to look in the mirror... He himself just wanted to see the military uniform on his body, the gray coat and the clean white His lining gave him an inexplicable feeling.Sure enough, I still wear this spirit, and I don't like satin like a rich man at all.

On Tuesday, Niang came over with her belt and sword, and couldn't help asking: "Zhu Heng said in the letter that Jiujiang Mansion is a dangerous place, can my husband win the Beijing camp?"

Yao Ji had just read the playing book, and after listening to it, she cast her eyes on it, maybe she also wanted to know this question.

Zhang Ning puffed up his chest in front of the mirror and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely drive the officers and soldiers down the Yangtze River." Yao Ji said, "Ning'er must pay attention to safety."

Zhang Ning turned his head and said calmly: "It is said that people who practice martial arts single-handedly have a rhythm in their steps and moves. If one side's martial arts is more proficient and the opponent can't help but fall into their own rhythm, half of the victory will be won. The same is true in battle. In this way, the reasoning is the same... The firearms and artillery platoon warfare mode was the first weapon I created in the Ming Dynasty, and the tactics were also the first I designed on the basis of weapons; while others can follow behind to imitate firearms, "touch" Suo tactics are also a big step behind and can only follow behind me. This is a brand new kind of war. No matter how capable the officers and soldiers can fight, it is also under our rhythm. I don’t believe that we have just entered the period of hot weapon war. be smarter than us.”

After hearing this, Yao Ji encouraged him and said, "Then we will wait for your good news and wait for your victory."

Zhang Ning fastened the gold buttons on his belt, straightened the hem of his jacket, and hung a delicate dagger on the side.He used to wear a long sword, but later felt that the long sword would affect his activities, so he changed to a shorter one. Anyway, it was just for decoration, as long as it is a weapon, it has the same meaning.

Then he confessed some things. Now the Senate can only let Wang Yu take charge of daily affairs, and the old general Chen Gai is in charge of defense; because monk Zhu Hengyao and other people with higher prestige are not in Wuchang, and even the older Liang Yan is also on the east front. On the battlefield, other people, such as Hou Mao, the former branch leader of the evil cult, are loyal and reliable, but their ability to handle complicated affairs is obviously insufficient, and they are already available.On the contrary, although Wang Yu was young, he was born in a county magistrate, and his ability to do things is good; in addition, after the "defeat of Changde" last year, Wang Yu, who was trapped in the enemy camp, refused the government's solicitation and walked hundreds of miles back to Chenzhou. There was a good show where Guan Gong traveled thousands of miles to find his old master, and Zhang Ning trusted him even more in the Senate.

However, Yao Ji was obviously the one Zhang Ning trusted the most, so he wrote a letter to the civil and military officials of Wuchang City, so that all civil and military officials could report to the "noble concubine" when they encountered major issues that could not be resolved. [

After the arrangement was made, Zhang Ning hurriedly set off from Wuchang City and headed east on the same day.When leaving the Chu palace, Zhang Xiaomei heard the news, hurriedly came to say goodbye, and no longer hid behind the door and deliberately disappeared.

After leaving Chu Palace, Zhang Ning wrote a written transfer order and asked Li Zhen, the chief guard, to send it to the Senate.The Fourth Army of Tiaoyongding Battalion set off as soon as possible to reinforce Jiujiang Mansion, escorting a batch of matchlock guns and "medicine" with the army to meet the front-line military supplies, and at the same time, it can also serve as the follow-up support for the main force of Yongding Battalion.

The Yongding Battalion has five armies, but only the first, second, and third armies have more than 7000 soldiers. Most of the soldiers are from the old army; The newly expanded military households were recruited and adapted from various places before, and they stayed in Wuchang City to garrison before that.In addition, there is also a temporary establishment "Yongding Camp Lower Camp", which is a training camp that has just been established. It is beginning to train soldiers. Many people have not even learned the steps of using matchlock guns; obviously Zhang Ning would rather be transferred to the Fourth Army. They are also unwilling to transfer nearly [-] new troops directly to the battlefield.

After issuing this transfer order, Zhang Ning wrote another order.Let the Senate Department order Monk Yao and his son in Yuezhou Prefecture to transport the main force of the Changde Battalion, which had been transferred to the west bank of Dongting Lake, back to Wuchang City with a navy boat to reinforce Wuchang City's military equipment.

There is a lot of cotton wrapped in cloth on the carriage, this is what Li Zhen thought of... It's really not creative.But Zhang Ning put his right leg on the thick cotton, at least it can absorb the shock, otherwise the fracture has not healed, and I don't know what will happen after such a bumpy road for hundreds of miles.

Li Zhen was a criminal who was fished out of the prison in Cili County two years ago. He had a long and green scary face, and for some reason there was no blood.At that time, the Vermilion Bird Army had not yet developed its wings, and facing the serious shortage of soldiers in Cili County, a group of prisoners were selected from the prison of the county government to serve as an army. Li Zhen was one of them; it seems that this person had followed Zhang Ning for a long time A group of people gained Zhang Ning's trust after fighting in the South and North. After the former captain of the guard Wang Xian was killed, Li Zhen is now the captain of the guard.

Li Zhen led a team of guards on horseback to guard Zhang Ning's carriage, and the group hurried out of the city.
