Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine - Diligence Hall Acting

The next day, "Dawn".

According to the rules, the chief assistant Wu Bingxian reported.

Unexpectedly, after the ministers had seen the ceremony, Wu Bing was about to speak, but Chen Zizhuang squeezed into the front in one step, almost staggering Wu Bing.

Wu Bing turned his head and looked at Chen Zizhuang and thought to himself: "What are you doing? Is there any morality?"

But Chen Zizhuang said with a panic look on his face, "Your Majesty, Li Chengdong, Jiancheng Body Li Chengdong and Fujian Governor Chen Bowen sent an urgent report at the same time. The Qing army's Beiyang Navy Admiral Liu Qingtai and Deputy Admiral Zheng Zhibao landed in the East China Sea. In the past two days, Funing and Xiapu two cities were lost. Two thousand soldiers guarding the city were killed in battle, and three thousand people were slaughtered!"

"Ah? Let's turn the memorial up soon!" Zhu Youlang was shocked when he heard this.

Not only him, but the ministers were shocked: "Why did another defeated battle? Why did the Qing soldiers start massacre the people again?"

Qian Qianyi's expression on his face was also very shocked, but he understood in his heart: "It's time for me to take action."

"Bang!"

After watching it, Zhu Youlang pretended to behave and changed his face. He slapped the case and stood up and cursed: "Liu Qingtai was crazy, Zheng Zhibao forgot his ancestors several times, but he actually attacked the unarmed people! Chen Bowen and Su Sheng were incompetent. I have reminded them to be vigilant and prevent the Qing soldiers from attacking from the sea. I didn't expect that the Qing soldiers would take advantage of the situation! How did the coastal defense do it? It was useless! Otherwise, I should receive the alarm first and then receive the war report!"

The ministers had already knelt down. Zhu Youlang was so angry that he walked around the imperial steps, cursing while walking. After scolding the Qing soldiers, he scolded the ministers, and finally pointed at Chen Zizhuang and scolded: "Why didn't you report such an important thing to me last night?"

Chen Zizhuang said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it is already the hour of the war that I received. The palace gate has been closed long ago. I can't get in."

"Silent! Such a big thing, can you stick to the rules? Let the guards of the palace gate report me, will I turn you away?"

Seeing that Zhu Youlang was out of control, Qian Qianyi not only got angry, but also found Chen Zizhuang's evil stubbornness. He laughed in his heart: "It's just that two thousand soldiers died, three thousand people, why should he be so impatient? Hong Chengchou is really smart. If he kills two thousand soldiers, Zhu Youlang will not be out of control. Only by killing some people can he successfully arouse Zhu Youlang's anger."

"I am guilty, I am guilty!" Chen Zizhuang apologized repeatedly.

"As the Minister of War, do you have no countermeasures?" Zhu Youlang scolded.

"Return to Your Majesty, Liu Qingtai and Zheng Zhibao are coming in full force. There are very few Fujian defenders and are not their opponents at all. I hope that I can quickly order Jiancheng Bo Li Chengdong to send troops to reinforce and must drive the Qing soldiers into the sea. Otherwise, the Qing soldiers will inevitably invade the south and go to Ningde, and Fuzhou will be in danger!" Chen Zizhuang replied.

"Well..." Zhu Youlang let out a long breath and sat back on the dragon throne: "My dear friends, you all tell me what the intention of the Qing soldiers? Why did they suddenly send troops to attack Funing and Xiapu? Is it feasible to gather life strategies?"

"Your Majesty, it is important to take care of the dragon body, and please quit the anger of thunder." Qian Qianyi did not wait for someone to answer, and knelt forward and crawled forward, saying: "Your Majesty, I think the incident happened suddenly. Although Chen Bowen was responsible for defending the territory, 80,000 Qing soldiers suddenly attacked. Even if they were prepared, the two small cities of Funing and Xiapu could not resist the enemy. Therefore, Chen Bowen and Su Sheng had little responsibility, so Your Majesty did not have to be angry."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "The old guy is so good at being an official. He comforted me with one word and sold it to Chen Jitai. He is so cunning."

"It is reasonable to accept it. Chen Bowen has always been diligent in the affairs of the king and is loyal, and is my beloved minister. This failure is forgiven, and I will not blame him. If you accept it, you have always known the soldiers. What do you think about this?" Zhu Youlang's face looked a little more beautiful and asked with a gentle voice.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry that his face turned yellow, Qian Qianyi made the emperor reply as before after a few words. I have to say that Qian Qianyi is now deeply favored and cannot compare to it.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Chen said is inappropriate. There are four reasons. First, Quzhou is thousands of miles away from Funing and Xiapu. It is far away and cannot relieve the near thirst. Second, if the Qing soldiers set up an ambush between Quzhou and Funing, wouldn't it be a loss of troops? Third, Liu Qingtai has 80,000 soldiers, and Jiancheng Bo's troops have fewer soldiers, which is tantamount to no avail. If there are too many soldiers, what should Quzhou do? If Nikan takes the opportunity to attack from the city and attack Liu Qingtai east and west, how can Jiancheng Bodang deal with it? The most important thing is that the Qing soldiers are attacking from the middle road. If Jiancheng Bo and Liu Qingtai go to the beach to entangle, then the Qing soldiers' offensive in the middle road is even more unscrupulous; Fourth, Liu Qingtai is a navy, and if he wins, he can enter the city to rob, and if he loses, he can get off the sea to board a ship, or fight or go, and the initiative is completely in his hands. As mentioned above, I think Lord Chen's suggestions are inappropriate."

Qian Qianyi obviously had prepared a lot. When he analyzed it well, he could definitely think that this person must be good at military affairs.

"This is very good. It is clear and well-organized, and it is in line with the way of using troops." Zhu Youlang nodded and praised.

"Receive it, and continue to talk."

"yes."

"Your Majesty, I think the Qing soldiers suddenly attacked from the sea this time, and their intentions were not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than seeing the danger of Quzhou, and I wanted to copy the way to build the Bohou Road to achieve the effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

"Well, it's reasonable, what if it should be?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is easy, so you can ask Jinghaibo's entire division to go north to meet the enemy. Jinghaibo's naval army has a total of 100,000 people and thousands of ships. Whether in terms of troops, warships, or weapons and equipment, they are all better than the Qing soldiers. Moreover, Jinghaibo is well-versed in naval battles, and the soldiers are brave, so why worry about not being able to win?"

Qian Qianyi looked confident and made generous speeches.

After hearing these words, Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "It's fine, the true intentions of the Qing soldiers have basically made me guess right."

Chen Zizhuang was full of admiration for Zhu Youlang: "It seems that the emperor has really allowed Hong Chengchou to get the pulse of Hong Chengchou."

Thinking of this in his heart, Chen Zizhuang did not forget to act: "Your Majesty, I think Consul Qian's plan is ridiculous. How can I not know that Jing Haibo's navy is Liu Qingtai's opponent? However, Jing Haibo, as a strategic mobile force, not only is he responsible for the task of guarding the sea, but also for the task of reinforcement of Guangzhou at any time. If all the navy is transferred to the East China Sea, if Guangzhou is in danger, Your Majesty will have no troops to adjust!"

"Mr. Chen, you are exaggerating! I guess you are worried about the middle road? It should be noted that although the Qing soldiers are powerful, Nanchang, Ji'an and Ganzhou are blocking the Qing soldiers' attack route. Each of these three cities does not have to worry about the city being broken for less than half a year. How can there be danger in Guangzhou within two years?" Qian Qianyi retorted.

Chen Zizhuang was speechless when he heard this.
