    The capital.

    It snowed heavily in the sky.

    A eunuch quickly arrived at a side hall in the Forbidden City, whispered in Xiao Jing's ear.

    Xiao Jing was so scared that he peed.

    He looked miserable and grabbed the little eunuch by the collar: "Seriously?"

    "Seriouslyseriously" The little eunuch was about to cry.

    Xiao Jing was so distraught that he almost cried.

    He hesitated again and again, and finally hurried to Nuange.

    In the Nuan Pavilion, it is warm, with anthracite, and now Emperor Hongzhi is also a mine owner, the earth dragon in the Nuan Pavilion is also willing to burn, so the charcoal fire burned in the wall of the Nuan Pavilion emits  When we arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, the whole Nuan Pavilion was very hot.

    Liu Jian and others were sitting on their knees, while the British Duke Zhang Mao was extremely excited.

    He opened the map and babbled in front of His Majesty, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Sheng and others: "Once King Ning rebels, he will definitely go down the river. He must want to conquer Nanjing and achieve the goal."  The situation of ruling by dividing the river. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to go north. I also heard that he bribed the water thieves in Poyang Lake. These water thieves can be used as the backbone of his force to take down Nanjing along the river. He  If they want to attack Nanjing, their primary target is Jiujiang. Your Majesty, Jiujiang's military equipment has been lax in recent years, and the nearby guard posts are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. If King Ning rebels at this time, I am afraid that Jiujiang will be destroyed in the blink of an eye.  In the meantime, it will fall into Jiujiang¡¯s hands.¡±

    He paused: "Therefore, the place for the decisive battle with King Ning must not be in Jiujiang, but Anqing, which is the most suitable place. This place is close to the Central Capital. Therefore, a large number of troops and horses are stationed and the city is very tall. An order should be issued immediately  , ordered people to use iron ropes across the river, and set up a defense line in this area to prevent King Ning from advancing eastward."

    Emperor Hongzhi and others kept nodding.

    Zhang Mao is indeed a man with unique vision. He seems to know every military and horse stationed in the Ming Dynasty, every city defense, and the terrain everywhere, so he can be said to be very clear-headed.

    "As for Jiangxi, it is run by King Ning. This area in northern and western Jiangxi is their base camp, especially Yichun, Shanggao, Gao'an and other places, which have always been controlled by King Ning. Therefore, in order to contain King Ning, they made all their efforts eastward.  To advance, it is necessary to send imperial envoys to the central and southern Jiangxi areas, with Ji'an Prefecture as the center, and recruit rebels. It is not necessary to let them attack. Just let them look at Nanchang, which is enough to prevent King Ning from attacking Anqing with all his strength.  "

    "With these two hands, King Ning can neither conquer Anqing with all his strength, nor is he afraid of being attacked by the enemies of Ji'an. As long as he is still trapped in northern Jiangxi and does nothing, when our court sends a large army to camp in northern Jiangxi, King Ning will naturally  , it will destroy itself without attacking."

    Xie Qian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, what if King Ning doesn't take Anqing and Nanjing, but attacks southern Jiangxi?"

    Zhang Mao laughed heartily: "You don't know this, Mr. Xie? Jiangxi is the place of the Four Wars, with the river in the north, the west of Ganxi, with undulating mountains, the east of Ganxi, also with mountains, and the south of Ganxi, even more so.  The mountains are rolling. No matter which way he goes except to go down the river to take Nanjing, he will be destroying himself. How can the tens of thousands of people he has recruited be wasted in the rolling mountains and rivers? This is courting death. He  If he goes south, the imperial court only needs a few thousand people to guard the passes, and he will be taught that it is impossible to escape even if he dies, and there is no place to die. This kind of marching and fighting is not just a few nonsense words on the map, it must be studied carefully.  Mountains and rivers, let¡¯s put it this way, has Mr. Xie ever heard that in all dynasties, is there anyone who started in Jiangxi and conquered the world?¡±

    Everyone was silent, it made sense.

    Zhang Mao said with a smile: "Therefore, Prince Ning should not be afraid. To deal with them, the key lies in Anqing. If Anqing is like a rock, Prince Ning will be the turtle in the urn. Your Majesty will give me 100,000 elite soldiers, and I will be killed within eight months."  The head of King Ning is at the foot of Nanchang City."

    After hearing Zhang Mao's analysis, Emperor Hongzhi felt reassured and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing's family is planning for the country. I am very relieved after hearing this. She is indeed worthy of being the Queen of Hejian.

    "King of Hejian" is a title posthumously granted to Zhang Yu, Zhang Mao's ancestor.

    As soon as Zhang Mao heard the word "King of Hejian", he immediately thought of his ancestor, his eyes became red, and he bowed down: "After I became a famous general, I did nothing in my life. I have long had the intention of my ancestors to make great contributions to the court and report your kindness to you."  , I am going to bring peace to the people, in this way, I will not humiliate my ancestors and be ridiculed by others. Your Majesty entrusts you with a heavy responsibility, how can I not do my best to serve you well?"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded repeatedly: "I am very relieved to hear your words."

    But at this moment, Xiao Jing came.

    Xiao Jing kept winking at Emperor Hongzhi.

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Xiao Banban, what's the matter?"

    &n? said.

    Emperor Hongzhi gave Liu Jian a meaningful look: "If the son of the Qing family is also missing, can we say that it is absolutely impossible?"

    Liu Jian was silent.

    But at this time, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, was anxious. He was the Minister of Rites, how could he allow His Majesty to go to the expedition in person? In terms of etiquette

    "Your Majesty, if your whereabouts are unknown, I should put my family and country first and never act willfully." Zhang Sheng said plausibly.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face dropped.

    Xiao Jing glanced at Zhang Sheng and suddenly remembered something: "I remember that among the retinues His Majesty brought, there was one named Zhang Yuanxi, Mr. Zhang, what does this person have to do with you?"

    "" Zhang Sheng was stunned, then collapsed on the ground with a bang, and murmured: "Eunuch Xiao, don't be joking. My son has a leg disease, how could he how could he go  As for Nanchang, thisthishaha, it's so ridiculous."
