Cao Jixiang's voice echoed in Zhuqi Town, but the unlucky Yingzong emperor said nothing.
From the moment mubin was appointed king of Xiping, he knew that some things had escaped his control. Once the king is granted, he will have his own palace and even his own guard. Although the number of people can not be too large, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows that there is a restless heart secretly under the surface obedience? In particular, it is the king who sealed the king with war. This kind of king killed from the sea of corpses is more specific and can not be underestimated.
But how can they do their best without being king? Xiping Hou mubin is already the boss of Yunnan. He has nothing to seal and nothing to reward. He wants to let the bystander use it for himself. There is no other way except this move. He can't do it.
Although the effect was not very good, in any case, mubin stared at the rear and transferred a lot of energy from the first Department of minwang, so that they could not fully attack the hinterland of the south.
A throne only plays a role of containment. Zhu Qizhen is dissatisfied, but what can he do? He is the emperor. He is the son of heaven. But if he doesn't have enough strength, how many people can listen to what he says?
For the emperor, to seal the king for war is to divide part of his power, which may be regarded as a disgrace. At least none of his ancestors had done such a thing, but it was better than the moment when they were really forced to perish.
If we persist in order to save face and finally let the first Department of King min kill in Nanjing, then he will really be a sinner of the Zhu family and have no face to see all his ancestors.
Thinking that the current situation is so corrupt and difficult, Zhu Qizhen, in his anger, also began to seriously consider what Kuang ye said about Yang Chendong's proposal. "Aiqing, what's the matter with Zhongdan? And what's the point of asking you to find a way to contact mercenaries?"
At the mention of these things, Cao Jixiang's face became very ugly. Originally, he clamored that he could not be crowned king. He quickly lowered his head and said, "the emperor calm down, and the minister is incompetent."
I don't blame Cao Jixiang for saying that no matter Yang Chendong or mercenaries, the royal guards have made no progress for such a long time.
It goes without saying that mercenaries have been seriously tested in terms of loyalty under the very perfect military discipline and the soldiers who can obtain the qualification to leave the city. In addition, they do not run alone. It is even more difficult for outsiders to know their details. Even if the royal guards seem to be everywhere, they have nowhere to start in the face of such a disciplined army. It is difficult to achieve anything.
As for Yang Chendong, the strict defense means that the auxiliary soldiers can't get close to it. Only the elite cold front who has experienced many tests is qualified to guard it, not to mention the existence of the elite among the elite like the first and second guard forces? Under such heavy protection, it is even more difficult to find out Yang Chendong's condition. The royal guards sent a lot of people, but most of them returned in vain. On the contrary, many of them were missing.
Cao Jixiang expressed his helpless attitude towards Yang Chendong and mercenaries. This sentence aroused the anger of Zhuqi town. "Incompetence, incompetence, don't you know what to say except this one? Get out, get out."
"Yes, yes." seeing Zhu Qizhen's anger again, Cao Jixiang, who knew that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, immediately knelt down and retreated.
Zhuqi town is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is below one person and above ten thousand people, inheriting the foundation of its ancestors. But at the same time, he also inherited the temper of his ancestors, that is, caprice. Who knows if Cao Jixiang will be severely punished in anger?
In the hall, Cao Jixiang retreated. The other eunuchs all lowered their heads and dared not speak. Before long, a heavy sigh spread all over the hall. No one could know what the so-called real dragon emperor thought at this moment.
......
Gaozhou Prefecture. Kuang ye, the Minister of the Ministry of war, sent two 800 Li urgent secret letters to the emperor Yingzong, but he didn't reply for a long time. Just then, a very bad news came. Miao Jinlong, the leader of Tianzhu village in the Miao army, that is, the Qinwu Marquis who was personally granted by the king of min, is leading 80000 troops from Nanning government to them.
As soon as he got the news, Kuang Ye Shangshu hurriedly called his heavy generals to the hall. At this moment, Ma Wei, Guan Ying, Yu Guang and other generals' faces were also extremely ugly.
Below the hall, the Scout general was telling the war reports he had obtained one by one. "The Miao Jinlong group is an army among the Miao people who can recruit and fight well. In terms of strength, it is second only to Yang Wenbo, the head of Miao in Dulin village. So far, they have attacked four cities and houses, including countless small counties. The team has grown from 10000 when they sent troops to 80000 now. Now they are attacking Lianzhou house, which is not far from us."
"How many soldiers are there in Lianzhou?" Kuang ye asked.
"It's just a thousand people." the Scout general dared not lift his head.
"Hiss!" Kuang ye, who took a cold breath, knew clearly that he was afraid Lianzhou could not keep it. With more than a thousand people to 80000, the result was conceivable.
"Report!" just at this time, another scout entered outside the hall and came to the general who knelt down and whispered something in his ear.
He saw that the general's face changed again and again, and then waved his hand. After his men withdrew, he looked flustered and said, "just got the news, the general of Lianzhou Prefecture surrendered."
"What?" suddenly hearing the latest war report, Kuang Ye stumbled and fell to his side. Fortunately, Guan Ying responded quickly and stretched out his hands to hold it. His voice also shouted anxiously, "teacher, teacher, are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Kuang Ye's chest fluctuated continuously and violently after taking a strong breath. After several times, he stood firm and waved to Guan Ying. Then he angrily scolded: "bastards, a group of bastards, by the emperor's long grace, they don't want to repay their kindness in case of a war. They really should kill, destroy the family and kill the nine families!"
Kuang Ye scolded angrily, but it's a pity that general Lianzhou couldn't hear it at all. Even if you hear it, you won't be afraid. After all, he has surrendered now, and who can know how long Nanming can last.
"Calm down, teacher. Now that Lianzhou is broken, I must attack the target. I'm afraid it's our Gaozhou mansion. How to deal with it, the teacher needs to make an idea." Guan Ying saw that Kuang ye could stand up by himself, so he stepped back and hugged his fist and asked.
"What else can we do? If we stick to Gaozhou Prefecture, I will never let these rebels move forward." Kuang Yeren roared like a giant thunder although he was old.
Kuang ye made the decision to stick to the city. As a student, Guan Ying immediately hugged his fist and said, "students are willing to follow their teachers and stick to Gaozhou Prefecture."
Guan Ying's voice was heard in Ma Wei and Yu Guang's ears. After they exchanged a little look, they all hugged each other and said, "at the end, I will abide by the order of the Shangshu, stick to Gaozhou Prefecture and fight to the death."
Ma Wei and Yu Guang have no choice. Although they are in Gaozhou Prefecture, their families are not here, and their original defense place is not Gaozhou. If you really surrender like general Lianzhou, I'm afraid once the news comes out, your family in the rear will not live for the first time. Even for the safety of their families, they have no choice. Moreover, with the Minister of the Ministry of war here, even if they want to surrender, they must be able to control the army.
Listening to the general's statement, Kuang Ye's face looked better. "Well, your loyal emperor will know that after defeating the enemy this time, I will ask for merit for you."
"Thank you, Shangshu." Guan Ying and the three men bowed their heads and hugged each other again. But whether they will really listen to this so-called request for merit is up to them.
First, after unifying the opinions, Kuang Ye wrote another letter eight hundred miles. In a hurry, people immediately sent it to Kyoto and Nanjing. After reporting the situation here one by one, they looked at Guan Ying and said, "close the city immediately and concentrate the young people in the city to help the army defend the city."
There are at least 40000 people in Gaozhou Prefecture, including 5000 young adults. If you make good use of it, it should be a great force.
"Teacher, did you inform Zhongdan Gong to help us defend the city as soon as he merged into the city?" Guan Ying thought the other party had forgotten in a hurry when he saw that Kuang Ye didn't mention Yang Chendong.
"They? Well, send someone to inform you, but if you don't want to enter the city, you can't force it." Kuang Ye shook his head and said perfunctorily when he thought of Yang Chendong's request to seal the king. He doesn't think that Yang Chendong, like a little fox, will be willing to defend Gaozhou Prefecture for himself before he gets the letter.
Outside Gaozhou Prefecture, in the mercenary camp in the direction of Leizhou Prefecture. The front war report had already been sent here. Naturally, Yang Chendong also knew the fact that Miao Jinlong led the troops.
"Oh, are you here at last?" he had a completely different attitude from Kuang Ye. When Yang Chendong heard about this, he was not a little flustered, but a picture he had known so long ago.
"Young master, shall we beat them?" the tiger mang standing on one side asked excitedly. From his words, it's not whether to fight or not, but whether to fight or not. From this point of view, it shows how firm his confidence in winning is.
In fact, it's not just Hu mang. I'm afraid more than 7000 Yang Jiajun think so. Needless to say, Leng Feng's auxiliary soldiers, with weapons that have been advanced for many years, let them look at the world and refuse any strong enemy. Even the temporary auxiliary soldiers, who have been trained for such a long time and have excellent tactics, are full of confidence. They only want to get military achievements under World War I and join the auxiliary soldiers, so as to become a member of the elite cold front as soon as possible, which is the envy of everyone.
