Chapter 8

8.26 The battle line is stable, return to Jinling

"Ping Yuanbo and Jiangnan admiral Xu Yan said: On September 14rd, Yongzheng 23th year, I led a total force of more than [-] people, sneaked into Danyang during the day and night, and launched a surprise attack when the thieves were defenseless.

Danyang was originally a big city, and it fell into the hands of bandits at the beginning of the civil disturbances. It has been more than half a year now, and it has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times, with rich products, and the bandit soldiers here have more than [-] troops.

Fortunately, the bandits were arrogant and didn't take precautions. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, fire and rain suddenly fell that night, and they all entered the bandit camp, causing chaos among the bandits. public.

The minister took advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack. Fortunately, the officers and men used their lives to kill the enemy bravely, causing the enemy to collapse and flee. Embarrassed, die or flee.

In this campaign, our soldiers killed nearly ten thousand enemies, with more than [-] first-class achievements. More than [-] soldiers went out to fight, but only a thousand returned with their bodies intact, and more than [-]% of them were killed or injured.

Incompetent so far, I have owed the emperor's grace, the minister bowed his head, and wished all the blessings and peace. "

"Huh—" put down the memorial lightly, even though he was cold-hearted, Emperor Yongzheng still felt heavy in his heart, "Dear dears, this is the memorial just sent by Jiangnan Admiral Wei Xu, you all should take a look."

"Admiral Wei is worthy of being a famous general in the world. He used four thousand remnants to defeat more than ten thousand bandits, and even beheaded the bandits. He really put his heart into it." No matter how strong his opinion was, Shen Yan, the leader of civil servants, could only say good things. .

"Unfortunately, the loss in this battle is too great. If he has more than ten thousand elite soldiers in his hands, why should he take risks like this? I still know him, and I usually use the power to oppress the enemy. I never like to take risks." Niu Jizong said lightly. Said.

Everyone in the imperial study room remembered what Wei Xu had been doing all the time. Every time he used absolute strength to crush the enemy, or piled up resources to push the opponent into a corner. He really didn't have the habit of taking risks.

"If you first ascended to a high position at a weak age, if you don't have the credit for it, you may not be able to sit firmly." Wang Feng, Minister of the Ministry of War, said in a flat tone, and what he said was true. After all, everyone was an official and knew some rules.

"In any case, he has made meritorious service, and he should be rewarded for his merits!" Niu Jizong immediately brought the topic back to the right path, "It's just that he has just been promoted to the admiral of Jiangnan, so it is really not suitable for a big reward."

"Your Majesty, it's fine to praise him as ordered, but he is too young to promise him a post-war reward. If he is rewarded for his merits, it will be difficult in the future." Shen Yan suggested.

"Shen Aiqing's words are reasonable, but it would be too light to just order praise." Emperor Yongzheng actually didn't want to reward them heavily, "I remember that there are two female generals in his backyard? Why don't you give these two if he makes new achievements? Award."

"Your Majesty is holy!" A group of people bowed in unison.

"It's just that it's raining fire today." Niu Jizong's tone was full of hesitation.

When they are in their position, they are aware of some supernatural problems, but they don't talk about it on the surface, and it's not that only the royal family will raise a few worshippers.

"It's just luck, as he said in his memorial, it's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing!" This time it was Bai Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites who spoke, and he directly labeled "good luck" in one sentence, and denied everything else.

"Master Bai's words are reasonable, as the saying goes, 'You don't speak with strange powers and distract your mind', that's all." Wu Xun also didn't want to delve into it, Liu Fang immediately recognized Bai Xian's conclusion.

At the same time, the camera turns back to Jiangnan.

"My lord, it seems that you don't have to worry about the betrayal of this group of people anymore." Baozhu said with a smile when she saw that Wei Xu was kneeling all the way when he came back.

"Okay, my little witch, after this matter is over, we won't have to move again for at least a month, but if we don't move, it's time to move around elsewhere, and this is just the time to rectify their names.

In this way, I can leave Daying here first, and you and I will go back to Jinling first, and be separated from Keer and the others for such a long time, even though we met a few times in the middle, the time is too short. " Wei Xu said with a smile, he missed the girls too.

"Miss." Baozhu hesitated for a moment, showing an envious expression, "I'm about to give birth."

"Stingy, no wonder these days, you always look like you want to squeeze me dry." Wei Xu stopped his maid with a smile, "What's the hurry, we are still young, and we have plenty of opportunities."

"En!" she agreed, but when her head was buried in Wei Xu's arms, her eyes were still rolling around.

That night, Wei Xu flew back to Jinling City with the orb after explaining the problem to several thousand households under him.

"My husband is back!" Even though she had a big belly, Qin Keqing still came to the door and took off Wei Xu's cloak herself. "Is the battle ahead going well?" "You don't have to worry about it." Wei Xu helped the girl to the living room. After sitting on the chair, he squatted down with a smile and put his ear on her belly, "This kid didn't make trouble for you, did he? Don't be polite if you are not honest, give him a good spanking after he comes out!"

In the living room, all the girls at home had arrived, not only the two pregnant women, but also Saeko Busujima, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin. After all, this was the first long reunion in more than half a year.

"Hmph, if my son is dishonest, I'll beat you, you heartless!" Qin Keqing angrily gave him a hammer, "My son is for pain, so I'm not willing to beat you—you don't even ask sister Jingxiang. "

"Don't worry!" Wei Xu embraced her and kissed her lightly before walking towards Ju Chuan Shizuka, but he couldn't help laughing secretly, he actually knew the reason why the girl was so generous, that is "patriarchal".

With the cultivation of the Wei family at this time, it is not a problem to find out whether the baby in the stomach is a boy or a girl. What can be confirmed now is that Qin Keqing is pregnant with a boy, and Ju Chuan Shizuka is a girl.

Since there was no threat to herself, she naturally didn't mind showing the big room's generosity. Anyway, after reading it, she would definitely return to her side at night.

"Ananda!" Excited, Ju Chuan Shizuka even came out with Toyo's name for her husband, but Wei Xu didn't take this trivial matter into consideration, anyway, "Master and Slave" are pet names.

"Jingxiang." Wei Xu also kissed her lightly, then sat down with his arms around her, and looked at the others, "I'm not at home these days, thank you for your hard work."

"It's all for the family, what's the trouble." Xue Baochai smiled sweetly, and unabashedly cast her envious eyes on the two pregnant women, "It's just because of the war that the income has dropped a lot."

"I'm afraid we'll have to hold on for a while longer." Wei Xu told the girls about his time-delaying considerations. "What we need most now is not money, but time. As long as there is enough time, victory will come sooner or later."

"Master, you are not here these days, and the number of dishonest people in the city has increased a lot." Saeko Busujima chuckled, showing no sign of concern, "Especially the civil servants, who have been busy wooing the various departments of the city defense recently.

Now that Sun Yubo has been dismissed and questioned, although it won't be too serious, his position will definitely not be kept, and you have been away for a long time, and the city defense is the four generals who originally supervised the standard, and now some people are not stable. "

"Do as they please, as long as there is no problem with the city defense, you don't need to bother, and I don't like these trash in military uniforms. If there are really dishonest ones, it should be normal for the White Lotus Sect to have a few members in the city.

Just arrange people to keep an eye on them. The focus is on the governor's office. Those two things that don't have a good eye must be arranged well. We must also pay attention to which one is the nail in the martial arts. This is actually more important to us.

Then there is the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, since he failed to kill him last time, he hasn't gone out, right?Are you sure it's me, not a substitute? "Even if he just came home, Wei Xu can only spend his energy on business first.

"No, I went there twice in person, and it was indeed me, but the Marquis of Cheng'en has a secret channel to the outside world, and usually their information is transmitted in this way. We took the opportunity to confirm several intelligence nodes." This point Poison Island Saeko is very sure.

"That's good——Baochai, there won't be any problems with our supplies, right? Don't forget that it is not the original 3 people, but it will soon reach about 6 people. It is estimated that it will be around the end of the year or early next year." matter.

I remember the fleet was not affected too much, right?Especially the pier, I will arrange for someone to take it back as soon as possible. "Wei Xu asked with a smile.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the fleet. The rice shipped from Nanyang has been sent to the secret bases in batches. For this reason, they have paid a lot of money to the rebel army." This time it was Xue Baoqin who answered.

"Brother Xu, the arsenal near the training base is currently operating in three shifts and overloaded. If the army expands, it may be difficult to guarantee that it can keep up, no matter whether it is weapons or armor." Xue Baochai said awkwardly.

"It's okay, I've already conquered Dangtu County. According to the data, there are large-scale iron mines in the nearby Ma'anshan Mountain. You should arrange people to go there to explore as soon as possible. Once confirmed, start building a large-scale iron factory as soon as possible.

When selecting the site of the iron factory, we must pay attention to it as close as possible to the Yangtze River to facilitate transportation. Even if it increases the transportation distance of iron ore for this reason, it is acceptable.

At that time, try the concrete road I mentioned a long time ago, coupled with the four-wheeled carriage with bearings that we have developed a long time ago, you know how much this method can improve transportation.

The iron factory coal can only be transported by the Yangtze River waterway, and domestic ones cannot be used, otherwise it will be too easy to be exposed. There are large coal mines in Annanbei, and the goods are shipped from there to ensure nothing goes wrong. "Wei Xu continued to arrange.

"It's easy to say, and we have made arrangements before. I will immediately recruit capable people from the training base. If it is just to build a small blast furnace, I believe it will be put into operation by the end of the year." Xue Baochai nodded and replied.

"Master, the war is basically stable now. The news from Yangzhou that I received here a few days ago must be dealt with." Saeko Busujima took over the conversation, "Xu Fei reported that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are not honest."

"Huh?" Wei Xu frowned immediately, "They? Are you tired of working?"
