When Li Yuanyin and the others heard this, they had to follow Zhao Ming and go to the palace.Zhao Ming walked in front and laughed quite heroically: "The lonely king patrols the surroundings, he hasn't eaten for a day, and he sees that you have been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and you must have never eaten."
Don't say anything else here, enough steamed buns, enough meat, and a few Jiangdong side dishes, a few jars of good wine, and everyone can drink together. ”Li Yuanyin just bowed his head and entered the palace with a heavy heart.It was time for dinner, Zhao Ming was not particular about eating and drinking, he always ate whatever he met, and he ate whatever soldiers ate.At that moment, with an order, hot steamed buns and broth were sent to the table, Zhao Ming beckoned a few people to sit down, and ordered the whole order of mutton, pork, fried hard vegetables, and a few jars of wine to be sent over.Zhao Ming was full of wine bowls, beckoned everyone to eat and drink, and talked about the recent battles of Gaizhou, the annihilation of the Four Banners of Manchuria, the raid on Dagukou, and the heroism of Hebei.Pulled some more, sealed the wolf Juxu, Ban Dingyuan, the Han final army, and Geng Gong's return to Yumen.The generals of Jiangbei recalled the deeds of the ancients, and related to the events of fighting outside the customs in the past few years, and they all sighed with emotion, feeling happy, heroic, and ambitious.Li Yuanyin was a little absent-minded, he tore the bun into slices and put it in the broth, and while eating, he thought about it, and had to admit that fighting with Wu Yuejun was indeed the most passionate moment in his battle since he was conscripted.If he could, Li Yuanyin was willing to work for Zhao Ming and Wu Yuejun all the time, but he received a letter from Li Chengdong asking him to return to Jiangbei and serve King Lu, and he had to return.Zhao Ming said for a while, secretly observed everyone's expressions, suddenly put down the wine bowl, and sighed, "Alas!
In recent days, Lone has been fighting side by side with you, entrusting life and death, which is very pleasant, but ......" many Jiangbei generals are busy getting up and bowing and saluting in unison, "It is also a great blessing for the last general and others to be able to follow His Highness to fight!"
”Zhao Ming waved his hand, and then said sadly: "King Gu knows that you are worried about Jiangbei's affairs and are determined to return to Jiangbei to serve."
At the moment, there is no war on Lone's side, you are going to go, and Lone will not stop you.However, it will take time for the ship to be deployed, so you can wait with peace of mind, and send a boat to send you back to Jiangbei. ”After finishing speaking, he drank all the wine in the bowl, his face full of reluctance.Zhao Ming's intentions, Li Yuanyin and others actually understand it in their hearts.After the Jiangbei army arrived in Liaodong, Zhao Ming did not treat them as outsiders, eating and drinking the same as Wu Yuejun's, giving priority to equipment, money and food, and the treatment was no worse than Wu Yue, sometimes better.Wu Yuejun poured out his heart and lungs for them, and treated them as his own people, and now everyone is indeed a little embarrassed to leave.Looking at Zhao Ming's expression, they all felt that they were a little sorry for Zhao Ming.Listening to Zhao Ming's words, the generals of Jiangbei didn't know what to say for a while, and finally just lowered their heads and hugged their fists in shame, "The last general and others thank His Highness for success!"
”Li Yuanyin said: "We will keep all the equipment given to us by His Royal Highness." ”Zhao Ming raised his face and said unhappily: "Why did Yuan Bo say this?
Now that the situation is turbulent, after you return to Jiangbei, you will inevitably encounter a big war.You will take all the equipment of the Jiangbei Army with you, and King Gu will send you 50 guns, 5,000 grenades, and 30,000 catties of gunpowder. ”After speaking, Zhao Ming picked up the wine bowl and said loudly: "Okay."
I won't mention that today.Come, drink, and practice as a lonely king for you!
”Li Yuanyin and the others were moved, and they picked up the bowls one after another, "Your Highness's affection, we will remember it in our hearts, and we have done it!"
”After finishing speaking, they all raised their heads and made a bowl."
Good!"
Zhao Ming shouted, "Come on, it's full, drink again!"
If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!
”Zhao Ming no longer mentioned the matter of Jiangbei, and only talked about the old things about the Liaodong war and the attack on the Manchu Qing in recent years, and then drank heartily, knocked Li Yuanyin and others to the ground one by one, and rolled them under the table.At this time, looking at the drunk crowd, Zhao Ming sneered, "Hmph, it's a little bit!"
”Then, with a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Come on, send them back!"
”After the guards sent Li Yuanyin and the others away, Zhao Ming immediately ordered: "Let Zhang Jiayu come to see Lonely." ”Not long after, Zhang Jiayu came to the study and saw Zhao Ming leaning back on the chair, pressing his forehead with one hand, breathing heavily, and looking a little tired.Although Zhao Ming drank a good amount of alcohol, he was actually about the same when he drank more than a dozen Jiangbei Army generals."
Your Highness!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jiayu called softly.Zhao Ming reacted and sat upright, "Mr.
Zhang has arrived!"
”"The minister has just arrived!"
Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Highness has every opportunity, take care of your body!"
”Zhao Ming raised his hand to signal Zhang Jiayu to take a seat, and then asked, "Is there any news from Jiangnan?"
”Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "Since the news of Zhu Yujian's escape from Nanjing came a few days ago, there has been no other news in recent days. ”Zhao Ming shook his head when he heard this, so he immediately ordered: "There is news coming, notify the lonely king as soon as possible."
In addition, if Li Yuanyin asks about the ship, you should press it first!
”Zhang Jiayu pondered for a while, comprehended Zhao Ming's meaning, and saluted: "The minister understands!"
”Zhao Ming immediately waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down!"
”At that moment, Zhang Jiayu retired, and Zhao Ming immediately returned to the dormitory to rest, trapping a Korean beauty.In the next few days, Li Yuanyin had been waiting for Zhao Ming to arrange a ship for him, but there was no movement on Zhao Ming's side.At the beginning of April, Li Yuanyin had to ask Zhang Jiayu and others, but Zhang Jiayu shirked it, the weather was not good, worried about the storm, and asked Li Yuanyin to wait a few more days, Li Yuanyin went to find Zhao Ming again, but learned that Zhao Ming went to Ningyuan, and Zhang Jiayu also chased Ningyuan.Previously, Wu Yue's army attacked Dagukou, which was indeed a surprise, but the inconvenience of sea transportation prevented Zhao Ming from obtaining a large number of people from Hebei.This time, Zhao Ming only got 180,000 people from Hebei, which is less than the population of a county, and the Liaohe Plain needs at least two or three million people.For this reason, Zhao Ming still needs to take the passage of Shanhaiguan so that he can take more people away next time.On this day, Zhao Ming was inspecting Ningyuan Fort, and Zhang Jiayu suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, the news from Jiangnan has arrived." ”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What news?"
How's the battle going?
”Zhang Jiayu said: "After King Lu captured Nanjing, he entered the prison country, sent troops to chase Zhu Yujian, and the army attacked Wuhu and Anqing all the way, and entered Jiangxi to seize Hukou, but then suffered a counterattack from Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan, and the army stopped at Hukou. ”Zhao Ming couldn't help but touch his beard, such a battle situation was expected by him.The Jiangbei Army has strong combat power, but the territory is small, the troops are small, and the early stage relies on strong combat power, fierce offensive, and has a lot of sharp equipment, which can be like a bamboo, but as the war continues, the war expands, and the equipment is rapidly consumed, the disadvantages of the Jiangbei Army will gradually be exposed.However, the advantages of the Longwu Imperial Court in terms of its large size, abundant resources, and large number of people will gradually be reflected.That's when the battle takes a turn.Zhao Ming knows a lot of such examples, and he doesn't need to list them, so he sees them more thoroughly.If Zhu Yihai failed to defeat the Longwu Imperial Court in the early stage, once he entered the stalemate, he would have no chance.Zhao Ming groaned for a while, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What has Li Yuanyin done recently?"
”Zhang Jiayu said helplessly: "It is said that General Li goes to the palace every day to inquire when the palace will return to the palace and when there will be a boat to Jiangbei. ”Zhao Ming exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Mr.
Zhang, you immediately arrange a ship to send the Jiangbei Army to Nanjing!"
”~~~~~~ Yingkou, wharf.More than 10,000 Jiangbei troops, dressed in fine armor, carrying flintlock muskets, and hanging kettles, medicine pots, and grenades around their waists, boarded the warships.At this time, Li Yuanyin and others hugged their fists and said goodbye to Zhang Jiayu, "Zhang joins the army, please act as the last general, and say goodbye to His Royal Highness!"
”Zhang Jiayu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is reluctant to let General Li leave, and he can't bear to come to see him off, but he asked this official to send some gifts to General Li and the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army!"
”After speaking, Zhang Jiayu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him carried dozens of large boxes, and then opened the boxes, which were full of white flowers and "Zhao Datou"."
It's!"
The generals of the Jiangbei army were shocked and their eyes widened.Zhang Jiayu smiled and said: "According to the rules of Wu Yuejun, the soldiers and soldiers should be divided into military fields for meritorious service.These are the rewards given by His Royal Highness to the soldiers of Jiangbei, a total of 100,000 yuan, and if you are willing to come to Wu Yue Kingdom on the other day, Your Highness will welcome you at any time, and your previous achievements will also be remembered, and you will be given the field at that time!
”When everyone heard this, they were all moved, they would break away from Wu Yuejun's sequence, generally speaking, they would suffer a lot of difficulties, and the rewards and silver could not be given at all, but Zhao Ming not only gave it, but also gave 100,000 at once.Knowing that they were going to break away from Wu Yuejun, they also sent equipment and money, where can they find such a lord?
If not, King Lu was also good to them before, and everyone was eager to stay.At that moment, the silver was carried onto the ship, the warship lifted anchor and raised its sails, and Li Yuanyin and others stood at the bow of the ship, waving goodbye to the generals of Wu Yuejun.At this time, as soon as the ship left the harbor, Ruan Jin suddenly pointed to a hill not far from the pier and exclaimed, "It's Your Highness!"
”Zhao Ming rode a horse and stood on the top of the mountain, watching the fleet go away, and Li Yuanyin and others on the boat couldn't help but burst into tears."
Your Highness is truly a merciful and righteous lord!"
