At a time when the entire Jinghua system received a pragmatic order to speed up its operation, something happened in Guangxi.

When Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling led about 3,000 troops to Mingjiang City, the civil strife in Siming Prefecture had just settled, and Huang Gongsheng was still not satisfied after attacking and killing his brother Huang Gongji in court, and captured Huang Gongji's mother, Mrs. Cen, and beheaded him on the spot, shocking the whole city with cruel means, and the entire Mingjiang City was shrouded in his obscenity.

Huang Enlong's youngest son, Huang Shiting, wanted to escape from Mingjiang City with the assistance of several family members loyal to Mrs. Cen's family, but was caught by Huang Gongsheng's elite wolf soldiers.

However, when Huang Gong ordered people to write official documents and prepare to send them to Guilin, Huang Zhiting's army set off for Mingjiang City at dawn.

The worst has finally happened......

According to Cen Ling's meaning, Huang Gongsheng's foothold was not stable at this time, and it was the time to seize the city in one fell swoop, but Huang Zhiting had been persuaded by Gao Shipra, and she came overnight, no matter how elite the wolf soldiers under her command were, it was not suitable for attacking the city at this time, not to mention that there were no siege equipment, so she decided to besiege the city and wait for the order of the imperial court.

Huang Zhiting's army sent a message to Liuzhou Mansion and Guilin Mansion as soon as he sent it, and then set up camp to besiege it, just waiting for the reply of the two courts.

Five days later, the Nanning Mansion, which had received a high-level implementation document in advance, took action and began to mobilize the troops of the Nanning Guard and the troops of various ministries in Nanning to gather.

On the other three days, the Guangxi Patrol led Wang Shangwen, the chief soldier of Guangxi, Wang Baiyu, the commander of the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, Ni Zhonghua, the general of Liu Qingyou, Li Yingxiang, the general of Sien, and Zhu Xian, the guerrilla of Pennsylvania, and other generals, went south to deal with the changes in Simingzhou on the orders of Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi.

Gao Pragmatic supervised the army as a patrol according to the imperial history, and controlled the army on behalf of the governor Zhang Ren, who was seriously ill and could not make the trip.

Guilin Left Guard, Guilin Right Guard have drawn more than 1,000 people, Guilin squad army has drawn more than 1,000 people, and the rest of Liuzhou, Pingle, Xunjiang and other prefectures have each dispatched more than 1,000 wolf soldiers, and met the soldiers and horses that have been concentrated in Nanning, a total of 10,000 troops, and drove to Siming Prefecture with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

In fact, 10,000 horses is not much for the style of the imperial court to send troops, but Gao pragmatic does not like to use guards to make up the number, this time except for the Guilin left and right guards sent by Zhang Ren to him, he did not recruit any guards, and all of them used the squad army.

Therefore, this army is said to be 10,000, but it is basically a field army, and even the more than 2,000 people on the left and right guards of Guilin are all troops who have been baptized to a certain extent in the Guangxi Peaceful Rebellion War for more than ten years, at least among the guards, they are completely worthy of the word elite.

Although theoretically speaking, Wang Shangwen, the chief soldier of Guangxi, who officially holds the title of governor of the capital, is a member of the second rank, Gao Pragmatic is not only the supervisor of the army, but also the power of acting as the governor of moderation, so this army is actually Gao Pragmatic has the final say.

But Gao Shishi knows his own level, let alone command 10,000 troops, and he doesn't know if he can command 1,000 people, so the actual command is still handed over to Wang Shangwen and other generals, and he himself just tells them the general strategy.

When Wang Shangwen heard Gao pragmatic tell him, "I don't interfere with your specific command," he was almost moved to tears.

When he was under Liu Yaozhi, Liu Yaozhi wanted to command him, and when he was under Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren wanted to command him, and this time Gao Pragmatic was not only supervising the army, but also controlling the army on behalf of Zhang Ren, he was already mentally prepared to give Gao Pragmatic a blind command, who knew that Gao Pragmatic actually made it clear that he would not interfere with his command, which really flattered him.

However, the command is under the command, and at the time of the military discussion, Gao pragmatic still sat in the main position unceremoniously. Wang Shangwen naturally didn't dare to compare himself with the high pragmatism of the top six champions, and sat honestly next to him.

"This time the situation in Siming Prefecture, Siming Mansion has written many times to explain that the rebel army in Mingjiang City is not much, except for the five hundred wolf soldiers brought by Huang Gongsheng, there were only about 1,000 people before, maybe around 1,005, plus Huang Gongsheng's headquarters, no more than 2,000.

In terms of troops, our army has a great advantage, not only has an elite army of 10,000 people, Nanning Mansion and Taiping Mansion are also ready for civilian husbands, and Xinningzhou, Jiangzhou and other places along the way will also coordinate some necessary arrangements, which can be said to be all ready. In addition, Siming Mansion itself has also mobilized 3,000 wolf soldiers, and it is said that it has also sent people to contact the surrounding Shangshixi Prefecture, Xiashixi Prefecture and other subordinate states to send troops, if all of them are mobilized, we can have 15,000 troops......

To be honest, it is impossible to lose this battle, so what we have to do now is to take Siming Prefecture as quickly as possible and deter the entire Guinan while trying to avoid heavy casualties. ”

Gao Pragmatic really did not interfere in the command, but only showed his strategy, so he didn't say more, but signaled Wang Shangwen to open his mouth to arrange military affairs.

Wang Shangwen's spirits were greatly lifted, but if he thought about it carefully, if he wanted to arrange it according to the idea of Gao Press, it was actually very likely that Guilin's left and right guards and the Han army would press the formation, and the wolf soldiers would come forward to fight.

Because there is an error in Wang Shangwen's understanding of "try to avoid major casualties" and Gao Pragmatic's actual expression, in Wang Shangwen's view, this avoidance must refer to avoiding casualties of the Han army, as for whether the Tusi wolf soldiers have major casualties, he doesn't care much, and he thinks that Gao Pragmatic will not care.

He coughed lightly, looked around at the generals, and said: "Our army is here, Mount Tai is on the top, and I have already said it just now, so I won't say much about this commander." As for the specific deployment, in view of the fact that Mingjiang City is built on the back of the Mingjiang River, the north side will be led by Wang Dusi Guilin Wei is in charge, and the Chinese army is also standing in the north.

In the east, the headquarters of Zhu Guerrilla and the Xunjiang Banjun were seated, the west was led by General Li Shen and the Pingle Banjun, and the south was handed over to Simingfu himself to attack Simingzhou. ”

Then he turned his head to Gao pragmatic and asked, "According to the stage, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" ”

It is not very clear whether it is appropriate or not, but even at his level, it can be seen that Wang Shangwen is obviously preserving his strength, and the real attack task is almost all handed over to Huang Zhiting. Unless the whole army of Huang Gongsheng in Mingjiang City breaks through and takes the east and west roads instead of the southern line, it is estimated that the imperial court officials and troops will not fight with Huang Gongsheng at all.

As for the Chinese army on the North Road, where he was sitting pragmatically, because of the Ming River, Huang Gongsheng, who had no water army, was destined to come to watch the battle unless he could fly over.

However, this idea may be the usual way of playing for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, Gao Pragmatic handed over the command to Wang Shangwen just now, and it was not easy to oppose it for a while, so he said: "On this side of the North Road, mobilize some cannons to help the wolf soldiers of Siming Mansion, and the rest will be done according to what Wang Zongrong said." ”
