Ping An Biography

Emperor Jianwen and all the officials hosted a banquet in the Hall of Emperor Grace, and it was lively for almost a whole day.Yao Ji specially sent someone to take charge of Zhang Ning's diet. The dishes and wine he ate at the banquet were checked before they were served on the table, and the whole process was monitored.The dining room in the palace originally had eunuchs in charge of food safety, but Yao Ji still used her own people to add an extra process, which showed the distrust between the two parties.

The etiquette is complicated when practicing in the palace, but it is simple when Zhang Ning is on the road.He didn't bring anything, only Li Zhen and a team of cavalry accompanied him, and he himself rode a horse.So I arrived in Jiangxi before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Outside Jiujiang City, Zhang Ning discovered that Luo Yaoniang was among the officials and generals who came out of the city to meet him.Seeing her standing behind Yu Qian, Zhang Ning immediately understood that she came to Jiangxi to meet Yu Qian.In retrospect, when Zhang Ning was still in Nanjing a few years ago, Yu Qian and Luo Yaoniang were in the same group of people who went to the capital to meet him. At least they had known each other since then and had a good friendship.

There was a slight flash of unhappiness in his heart. If Luo Yaoniang was his wife and concubine, she would definitely not be allowed to have any "blue-faced confidant". Luo Yaoniang is nothing, she once had an affair but couldn't make it public, so she has no legitimate reason to control her freedom.What's more, Luo Yaoniang's background is Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter, and Yu Qian is also an important member of Xiangwang Group. Zhang Ning really has nothing to do with her unless he ignores the tricks.

"Bang bang..." Guns fired from the top of the city, and drums sounded.Zhang Ning immediately returned the salute to the officials who greeted him, and then led the crowd into the city.

After entering the city, he realized that the main road in the middle was under martial law, and many soldiers lined up beside the road.Most of them were officers and soldiers from the Yongding Camp. At first they raised their arms in a solemn salute, but soon someone shouted, and the atmosphere in the army gradually became warmer. "Xiangwang...Xiangwang..." Countless long and short weapons swayed in the crowd, like a forest in the wind, and Zhang Ning became the focus of attention for a while.

Zhang Ning obviously has a high prestige among the veterans of the Yongding Camp. From Shimen County to Wuchang, this army has fought dozens of battles under his leadership and won many vicious battles.People's trust and support for him were bred in blood.His arrival changed the silent morale, and most soldiers in the army were looking forward to another victory in the Jiangxi campaign.

There are still many citizens crowded in the streets and alleys, and the city feels like a New Year's festival for a while.However, the local people obviously have no interest in who won the war and who will rule the place. They just watch the fun, and the people like to stand around in crowded places to watch.

Zhang Ning at this moment is undoubtedly a splendid moment in his life, his impression is noble and glamorous, and everyone supports him.He is riding a tall horse that has grown up, and he is wearing a gray military uniform. The gold buttons and belt buttons are shining with metallic luster, the short sword on his waist is bright, and the lining collar is as white as snow; Wearing a wide-brimmed steel helmet on the head makes the military uniform look more heroic. [

Looking back at the excited soldiers on both sides, he raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers of Yongding Camp, unite!" Everyone blurted out and shouted almost in unison: "Glory..." Someone in the lively crowd shouted: "Long live my king, long live ..." The soldiers of the Yongding Camp did not shy away from this kind of overreach, everyone knew how the Jiangshan territory came to be, and they did not reject Emperor Jianwen at all.

After that, Yu Qian and others silently watched the scene in front of them, perhaps it was the first time they had seen such unbridled fanaticism.

This time, there was a woman who came out with Zhang Ning, Xin Wei, who was responsible for guarding his safety and taking care of his daily life.Xu Wenjun was made a concubine, so it was inconvenient to go to the army; Xin Wei used to be a white-clothed bodyguard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, trained in martial arts, and trained to defend against assassins, so Yao Ji thought it would be more appropriate to send her out. To save Zhang Ning from "messing" outside | encountering unnecessary danger.

Xin Wei has never "shown" in front of so many people. Obviously standing on a bustling street and standing in the center of many eyes are two different things.She was just a guard by her side, but she couldn't help but feel very nervous and excited. She didn't dare to move while riding a horse, for fear that she would make a joke if she made a small mistake; , Worried that his face would be ugly and not pretty enough, many such small thoughts emerged in the tension.

Walking on this long and noisy road, Xin Wei thought of the country road exuding the fragrance of plum blossoms again in a trance. In dreams and memories, plum blossoms were always blooming on that road.She walked out from there many years ago, with sadness, confusion, and expectation, and started another life. I am afraid that the feelings at that time will never be forgotten in my life.Expect something, expect a dream...

The landlord's courtyard in Gu's Village had planted a seed in her heart since she was a child, allowing her to see that there was another life in this world that was different from the life of hunger, poverty, poverty, loneliness and humbleness, and a better world.But this kind of dream is vague in her young heart, and she herself doesn't know how to get to that world and what she needs.When she arrived in Yangzhou, the prosperous and prosperous land of flowers and willows really opened her eyes, but soon found that this was not what she wanted.

Many years have passed, and at this moment, walking on the street where everyone is watching, she suddenly seems to really understand.If one day I make people admire and respect me with my honorable status, and I am perfect and glamorous, then I will be as gorgeous as a summer flower blooming... and this situation is so close, the man around me can give it all.

... People and horses walked along the North-South Avenue to the cross street, turned west, and after a certain distance, they were where the Jiujiang Fuya, Jiangxi Governor's Office and other government offices were located.

A large number of soldiers and horses rushed here with Zhang Ning's guards, and saw a tall flagpole erected outside the gate of the Governor's Xingyuan, the musicians on the side also set up their instruments, and a group of soldiers in neat clothes guarded A yellow flag is in the whole team.A "flag-raising ceremony" will be held here.

Zhang Ning reined in the horse beside him and dismounted from the horse, and the accompanying people got off their horses one after another and stood in place.After the melodious sound of the flute and the ups and downs of the music, the soldiers guarded a Suzaku flag and solemnly raised the flag.A few years ago, Zhang Ning designed the Suzaku Banner, which was obviously a wise move. Today, it has become a symbol of unity in the army, and the soldiers have given it a totem-like mysterious meaning.

At the end of the ceremony, Wei Bin saluted loudly: "My lord, please speak to the soldiers!"

Zhang Ning then walked up the stone steps at the gate, looked back at the crowds blocking the streets on both sides, and said: "For three years, Zhu Yong led an army to wipe out the Suzaku Army, which had only more than 1000 people at that time, in Huguang Gaodu. Destroyed; Xue Lu gathered hundreds of thousands of people to attack, but was wiped out by our Zhuque Army soldiers in Yuanshui; the Puppet Dynasty sent the most elite Shenji Battalion to cross the Jiujiang River, and was also driven into the Yangtze River by the Zhuque Army. The army of the dynasty wiped out the King of Han in Nanjing, and they are coming again fiercely, brave soldiers and brothers, will you be afraid of them?"

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and everyone shouted in response: "Don't be afraid..." "I'm afraid he's an egg..."

Zhang Ning looked up at the yellow-backed and black-painted Suzaku flag flying on the flagpole with extremely natural movements, showing no trace of showmanship, and his sincere feelings naturally expressed: "Since the Suzaku army became an army, the soldiers have loved the people and committed no crimes. Dayi is doing his best, and many brothers have died in battle with this banner. Now, the puppet court of King Yan vows to destroy our great cause regardless of the cost. If it fails, the newly established homeland will be destroyed, the dignity will be trampled and turned into sinners, and the soldiers who have been killed or injured in the past few years will lose follow-up care..."

Many people were already furious, and before Zhang Ning finished speaking, they broke out. The army was in an uproar, clamoring to fight the enemy soldiers to the death and defend everything they had gained. [

Zhang Ning stirred up morale at the gate of Xingyuan, and went in with Zhu Wenwu.All the soldiers seemed to be unsatisfied, and they gathered outside the governor's courtyard for a long time.

Yu Qian looked at Zhang Ning with a different look from the past. It was really the first time for him to experience such an agitation method.Literati and bureaucrats are very good at writing provocative essays, but the more formal things are all in classical Chinese, provoking the lower-level soldiers to suspect Niu Qin, and Zhang Ning's "speech" style is really new.But for Zhang Ning himself, it is obviously a trivial matter. With the development of modern consulting, he has seen all kinds of incitement methods.

The important members of the group first sat down in the lobby. Zhang Ning had just arrived, and Yu Qian wanted to briefly report on his duties.He handed over some things first, and Zhang Ning opened them up to see some maps and a report.

Yu Qian said: "The news of Jingdezhen was reported yesterday. The county magistrate was killed. The officials and guards led the local gentry to surrender the city. This is expected. Next, Dexing and Leping cities will not be able to stop the officers and soldiers. It is only a matter of time before the entire Raozhou Prefecture is lost. The Jiangxi governor’s yamen’s Yongding Camp and places beyond the control of the Jiujiang Army can’t resist the enemy’s "invasion"... The minister did not deploy troops to the east of the lake in time, please look at the picture. "

He went on to say, "The shortest route from Nanjing to Jiujiang is not from Huizhou and Raozhou to Poyang Lake, but along the Yangtze River. I sent people to investigate this road on the spot. Not only is the road on land easy to mobilize, but It is better to advance both land and water, and to use ships to carry grain and grass is the first choice for entering Jiujiang. Our army has to guard against it.

The enemy's troops are coming out of Huizhou. It stands to reason that we should guard against the Yangtze River while dividing our troops to keep the land in the east of the lake.However, our army was too small, and I thought that we could not divide our forces, but should concentrate our forces and wait for an opportunity to defeat the main force of the official army, so as to force back its attack. "

Yu Qian had written about these situations in the report before, and Zhang Ning himself respected the conclusions he made on the spot. Besides, the matter has now changed, and it is too late to reinforce the counties on the east bank of Poyang Lake, so Zhang Ning can only Said: "Ting Yi's words are reasonable, I think it is quite appropriate."
