Chapter 309 Geng Jimao is late to ask for the moon
Shang Kexi spent a lot of effort to barely suppress the evil fire in his son's heart.
He is really worried that his son will lead the Shang family astray in a hundred years.
He tried his best to earn this huge family business for the old Shang family, so naturally he didn't want Shang Zhixin to destroy it.
In the next few days, Shang Kexi tried his best to ease the relationship with Zhang Chaolin, and Hong Chengchou also mediated, and finally got through the situation.
However, a bad news came soon after that. The Ming army had captured Pingxiang and was heading towards Yichun.
The 10,000 Green Camp soldiers who went to Pingxiang to ambush were almost wiped out!
This news was no different from a huge blow to Hong Chengchou.
The Ming army has such a strong momentum, and it seems that it will not be easy to win this battle.
But at this moment, the army led by Geng Jimao arrived in Nanchang.
Hong Chengchou had no choice but to put down what he had at hand and go out of the city to greet him.
Geng Jimao was Geng Zhongming's eldest son. After Geng Zhongming committed suicide due to crime, Geng Jimao inherited the title of King Jingnan.
So from this perspective, Geng Jimao should be Shang Kexi's nephew.
However, after entering the city to see Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao did not follow the ceremony of his son and nephew at all.
The two shared the title of king, and Geng Jimao looked exactly on par in front of Shang Kexi.
This made Shang Zhixin very dissatisfied.
The two are basically the same age, but Geng Jimao is already the prince, and he is just a prince.
When I saw Geng Jimao's face, Shang Zhixin felt disgusted.
"The King of Jingnan is such a big show. There must be hundreds of guards alone, right? I just don't know if the army he brought is as dazzling as guards."
"Oh? Isn't Prince Pingnan misunderstanding of this king?"
Seeing that Shang Zhixin was rude and deliberately criticized the naughty green, Geng Jimao said in a deep voice: "I brought a total of 50,000 people this time. I wonder how many people did King Pingnan bring?"
"you!"
Shang Zhixin's lungs were so angry that he burst into anger when he heard this.
Geng Jimao really doesn't open the pot of this pot.
"Faith!"
Seeing that the two were about to have a dispute, Shang Kexi quickly interrupted.
"King of Jingnan, don't be as knowledgeable as a child. Let's use a banquet."
Shang Zhixin couldn't get out of anger, and was very stuffy. He snorted coldly and followed Shang Kexi.
Today's banquet has an additional seat because of Geng Jimao's arrival.
It should have been a very happy thing, but because the Ming army had just taken Pingxiang, the atmosphere could not be lifted.
Hong Chengchou reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "This strategy represents Jiangxi civil and military officials to welcome the arrival of King Jingnan and his party."
This kind of scene is something that must be said no matter what. Hong Chengchou also said when Shang Kexi and his son came.
Shang Kexi was no longer surprised, and he also picked up the wine glass.
Jiangxi Governor Zhang Chaolin's impression of Geng Jimao was obviously much better than Shang Zhixin. He also picked up the wine glass and said, "Welcome to the arrival of King Jingnan and his party."
Among the people present, Shang Zhixin did not raise his wine glass.
It is very disappointing about this.
Isn't this absent man even pretending to behave?
This makes him embarrassed in front of others.
Then there was a singing and dancing performance.
While singing and dancing were in full swing, Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "The war ahead has failed again. I am so anxious. Fortunately, King Pingnan and King Jingnan have arrived, and the situation in Jiangxi has stabilized. You are all here today, so I will discuss with you how to fight the next battle."
When it comes to war, everyone doesn't say anything.
Even the governor of Jiangxi Zhang Chaolin looked like a show.
He really wanted to see how Hong Chengchou would arrange it.
After all, there are two princes sitting down.
If both of them are above Hong Chengchou, it would be different whether they can give him such face or not.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Hong Chengchou cleared his throat and said, "The north of Jiangxi is Jiujiang Prefecture, which is the main channel of the Yangtze River. Therefore, this strategy estimates that the Ming thieves will definitely attack Jiujiang. This way should be from Wuchang."
After a moment of pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "The rest of the way is from Changsha. They have captured Pingxiang and are currently fighting for Yichun. Yichun is very important for Yuanzhou Prefecture. The meaning of this strategy is to send an army to reinforce. I wonder who is willing?"
Zhang Chaolin smiled when he saw this and said, "I believe that Hong Jingluo has also seen the situation in Pingxiang. The ordinary green camp soldiers lack combat power and are no longer enough to defeat the Ming thieves. The subordinates mean that they either send the Eight Banners Army or ask one of the two princes to bring troops forward."
If Zhang Chaolin didn't speak, he would pick himself up completely as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yes, as the governor of Jiangxi, the only one who can command the Green Camp Army.
The Green Camp Army had just suffered a crushing defeat, and if Hong Chengchou wanted to stabilize the situation, he could not send Green Camp soldiers anymore.
Then there are only three options left.
Shang Kexi took a sip of wine and then said, "From Governor Zhang's opinion, it should be that I or King Jingnan has taken action. After all, the Eight Banners Army cannot fight easily, right?"
Shang Kexi thought to himself that this traitor is so cunning. He clearly put him on the fire and looked like he was good for him.
Shang Kexi actually felt the same as Mingjing. Even if the Eight Banners Army stayed in Jiangxi, it would not take the initiative to fight again.
They play more the role of a stabilizing needle.
Just as there are cities everywhere, there are more or less Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the city.
As long as the Eight Banners soldiers were present, the local Green Camp soldiers would not dare to act rashly. Those anti-Qing and anti-Qing forces would not dare to look up.
"Look at what the prince said, I didn't say that I must let you do it."
Zhang Chaolin smiled so hard that he was eager to beat him, and Shang Zhixin's fists were already clenched.
Geng Jimao looked as if nothing had happened.
After all, he had just arrived in Nanchang, and the army had to rest for two days.
Shang Kexi came earlier than him, so it should be that Shang Kexi would go if he wanted to go.
Shang Kexi glanced at him and realized his mind. He laughed and said, "Since that's the case, Zhixin, you can take the troops there."
"Father!"
Shang Zhixin still had to argue, but when he saw Shang Kexi glaring at him fiercely, his neck shrank again and he had to grit his teeth and said, "Abide by the order!"
Hey, look at Geng Jimao and Zhang Chaolin's face as a villain. If it weren't for the face of his father, Shang Zhixin would really want to punch the two of them.
When Hong Chengchou saw that someone finally stood up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The prince of Pingnan is loyal and loyal to the country, and the prince is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. This strategy will definitely ask for merit for you."
Shang Kexi stroked his beard and said, "Jiang Hong is very interested, but he should wait until the battle is won."
"Haha, that's of course."
Hong Chengchou said with a laugh.
"I wonder how many troops Prince Pingnan plans to command?"
Zhang Chaolin still insisted on saying that he insisted that the Shang family make the words clear at the banquet.
Shang Zhixin looked at Shang Kexi, and Shang Kexi said loudly: "Ten thousand, including five thousand family soldiers and five thousand green camp soldiers."
