Chapter 683 Follow closely, don't fall behind
Everyone was stunned. Lu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this is just the forward army of the Tatari. The follow-up soldiers and horses of the Tatari may be coming along the Jiayu Pass channel. There must be reports ahead of these news, but we are far away and haven't known for the time being."
Song Nan said: "In that case, the court only ordered Changning to lead less than 50,000 troops to fight against it, which is an improper policy. If the Tarat has follow-up troops and horses, Changning will have great ability and can't escape the order of failure. In that case, he should immediately allocate reinforcements to Changning and strictly order Changning to make heavy troops. Sticking to Gansu Town is the best.
Lu Wan frowned and said, "Does Lord Song mean to let the ravages of the ravages and not fight with them? 40,000 imperial troops did not move and let the artillery of the tars bombard them? It turns out that Lord Song thinks so, but it's also very strange.
Everyone buzzed and talked, and Zhengde shook his head slightly.
Song Nan said lightly, "You can describe it this way. In short, fighting with it is an adventure, and the Tatars obviously have a back hand. The most urgent task is to find out whether the soldiers and horses of the harborahs are hidden, and what is their intentions? In addition, it is not difficult to mobilized troops from the rear to send reinforcements. It is not difficult to eliminate the 50,000 invading Tah soldiers. It is rare to know what the backhand of the Tah soldiers is. Since this is a life-and-death war, you should be cautious and not be attracted by the small profits in front of you, so as to be trapped by the hands of the Tata.
"Lord Song, after talking for a long time, why don't I understand what the so-called trap you are worried about? Can you say it clearly?" Yang Tinghe couldn't help asking.
"Yes, make it clear, it's unclear." Everyone echoed.
Song Nan sighed and said, "Since it's a trap, it's not so easy to see through. There are many possibilities, who can guess one of them? This is not gambling. This is a major event related to the court. I can't talk nonsense.
"So you don't know, it's just unfounded worries." Yang Ting and said lightly.
Everyone is chuckling. In their opinion, Song Nan's recent situation has not been smooth, and the emperor has abolished his military position. What he is saying now is just to attract attention. He is trying to show himself in front of the emperor and must not give him such a chance.
Zhengde frowned and said, "Song Nan, you are worried, but you can't say what you are worried about. I can't be afraid because of your worries, and I can't let the Taris run rampant in my territory of the Ming Dynasty; unless you say what you are worried about and have any reason to prove it, maybe you can convince me and all of you."
Song Nan looked at the right faces in front of him and said to himself: Even if I say a few possibilities that I am worried about, I will be refuted cleanly. Besides, these are just inexplicable worries that may not happen. What's the use of saying it myself? It's just drooling."
Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I just said what I think. I haven't seen the war thousands of miles away, and I can't make specific judgments to confuse the public. Let you make a public decision. I don't want to delay their time. The war is like a fire, and it's serious to dispatch operations as soon as possible."
Zhengde's disappointed look was full of words, and Yang Tinghe had a smile on his face. Song Nan finally knew that he could no longer influence the emperor as before, and he finally knew that he had retreated. After today, if there was any military meeting, Song Nan should not be eligible to participate in it.
After leaving the palace, Song Nan was in a bad mood and inexplicably irritable. He always felt that there was something wrong. This was not Zhengde's indifferent attitude when he left. Zhengde also listened to some things about Song Nan's trip to Nanjing and escorted Song Nan. The princess's return to Beijing was just a few words of praise. Song Nan obviously felt that something was missing between herself and Zhengde.
But Song Nan knew that her worries were not because of Zhengde's indifferent attitude, but because of the war in the northwest. Song Nan always felt that baldness could play some conspiracy and tricks, and always felt that things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction.
When he returned to the house and saw his wife and children flocking to welcome him, Song Nan's mood suddenly felt much better. He gathered all the way into the house. The happy wives and concubines had already arranged a banquet. Although it was not too late, the meal was very happy. After dinner, in the bright spring light of the back garden, Song Zhidao, the eldest son of the Song family, performed his newly learned fists and feet to Song Nan. Everyone gathered around and laughed and applauded. Song Nan threw all the unpleasantness in his heart and enjoyed the family time.
In the evening, Sun Xuan and Hou Dabiao came to visit them, and Song Nan met them in the front hall. After listening to what Song Nan said about Nanjing, Sun Xuan and Hou Dabiao spit out their tongues. They knew that Song Nan went to Nanjing to kill Gu Dayong, but they didn't expect Song Nan to kill Gu Dayong directly in the palace. , and set fire to several palaces, and the adults' behavior was really unpredictable. Sometimes cautious and almost cowardly, sometimes bold and desperate.
"There are two things. The governor of the north and south town has to spend a lot of energy to investigate. You are just right here. If you don't come, I will invite you to come in the evening." Song Nan drank tea and spoke to the two people in front of her who were surprised and had not yet woken up from his big hand to kill Gu Dayong.
"Your Excellency, please tell me." The two were busy.
Song Nan put down the tea cup, knocked on the table with her fingers and said, "Recently, there are rumors that Song Nan is going to be unlucky. What do you two think?"
Bo both of them were stunned. Didn't they have to order something? Why did you talk about such a topic again?
"Your Excellency, those rumors outside are all rumors from the court. Why should you pay attention to them? It made me angry, so I raised the old bottom of two civil servants and showed them some color. Hou Dabiao spat on the bare floor and thought about it and quickly wiped it off.
Sun Xuan frowned slightly. He knew that Song Nan was worried that his two absolute cronies, Hou Dabiao, would have a whim, and this was testing himself. Song Nan never did this. According to Song Nan's words, this is a sign of lack of self-confidence, but today he did do this. It can be seen that Song Nan's inner pressure is not small.
"Your Excellency, Sun only said one sentence. Since my adult became the commander of Jinyiwei, my Jinyiwei government has been the most prosperous time in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is manpower expansion or the promotion of status treatment, it has surpassed the Jinyiwei government in previous dynasties. Personally, I have never done anything so comfortably and have never received so much respect as today. I am deeply proud of following adults to do clerical work; what outsiders say, humble positions have always been regarded as a rumor, and humble positions also believe that with the ability and meritorious deeds of adults, they will never be like rumors.
After all, Sun Xuan is an old world. His words are reasonable and well-founded. Listening to it teaches people to be comfortable, unlike Hou Dabiao, who speaks straight and says whatever he wants.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Very good, I'm just curious and want to ask you; in fact, you all know that I can't fall; although since I was dismissed from my military post more than ten days ago, it has been crazy that I'm going to fall. You have also caught a lot of people spreading rumors behind your back, and I know that you are worried and anxious. Today, I will say a word to you two. I, Song Nan, will not fall. You still have a good future to run. Follow me closely. Don't fall behind. Whoever falls behind will have no chance. Do you understand?"
The two said in unison, "Yes."
Song Nan slowly got up and paced with her hands behind her back. After a long time, she stopped and said without looking back, "Sun Xuan, listen to the order."
Sun Xuan was shocked and looked at Song Nan's back and bowed: "I'm humble."
"From now on, your Nanzhen Fusi will send elite personnel to investigate one thing. First of all, you have to check the cause of death of the mainland hospital of the Pacific Hospital and find his family to ask for confessions. All aspects of this matter must be investigated in detail. You also need to investigate Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and which important officials in Beijing have hidden. Close contact in the ground; including the exchange of money, the addition of beautiful women as concubines and other things, should be detailed, but no trace can be revealed. Where there is a stubble, it should be dealt with immediately and never a fire. Did you hear it clearly?"
Sun Xuan was shocked and opened his mouth to ask something, but looking at Song Nan's straight shoulders as solemn as steel, he closed his open mouth.
"I'm obedient."
"Hou Dabiao, from now on, your North Town Fusi will transfer elite personnel to the nine towns to inquire about the news. First, I want to know the progress of the war in Gansu in real time. Second, the mobilization and deployment of soldiers and horses in various border towns should also be as clear as possible. This matter is extremely important, and you should do it seriously.
Hou Dabiao was stunned and said, "Is Gansu fighting a war?"
Song Nan turned his head and shouted, "Thanks to you, you are still a senior general of Jinyiwei. We have all become deaf and blind. After a few days of fighting, there is no news from the Jinyiwei government in Gansu, which is simply hateful. All the officials of the local Jinyiwei government have to deal with it. They are not soft to be dismissed or demoted. They have not been rectified for more than a year, and now they have also breed tiredness.
Hou Dabiao gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the humble position and do it immediately. These bastards have lived a good life, and the humble position has removed these grandchildren from their jobs."
Song Nan sighed and waved his hand and said, "I don't have your dinner here. You can go. From today on, all the Jinyiwei government will be alerted. Anyone who disobeys at this time and sends my orders will be directly removed from office is irrefutable. You guys go."
Hou Dabiao and Sun Xuan looked at each other and bowed.
