Quanzhou, the original state government was urgently requisitioned, and after a little expansion, it became the "imperial palace".

It's very cold.

In a hurry, Quanzhou's big and small "civil and military officials" didn't say anything, in fact, few people had much expectations, but some things were involuntarily.

And there is no silver lining.

In the battle ahead, the whole Quanzhou fell into an unexpected silence: there was no more troops, and whether they could fight a piece of life depended on whether Mei Yin, who led Mei Jingfu, Fang Yushan and others in the battle with Zhu Gaoxu in Fengting, could win.

If he wins, the old ministers of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty will be inspired and bloom everywhere, and Zhu Di will eventually perish.

If it is defeated, it is defeated.

From now on, under the rule of Emperor Yongle, there will be no more soil for Jianwen's former ministers to make trouble.

But Mei Shunchang was not idle.

He was a scholar, a serious reader, and he rarely even read military books - although in Yingtian, Mei Shunchang served in the Zhongfu of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but unlike Mei Jingfu, who commanded in the Bannerman's Guard, Mei Shunchang was indeed not good at military affairs.

All he read were articles on the rule of the country, so in this decisive battle, Mei Yin did not take him to Fengting.

Mei Shunchang still has something to do.

Father Mei Yin and younger brother Mei Jingfu went to Fengting with the idea of death to give the future a go, and Mei Shunchang took his mother Princess Ningguo, his own daughter-in-law and younger daughter-in-law and others to Yongning, an important coastal town in Quanzhou Prefecture, under Mei Yin's arrangement.

Of course, the young emperor Zhu Wengui, who is still wearing open crotch pants, is indispensable.

There are not many troops left in the Yongning Guard.

There are only 2,000 people - these 2,000 people are also the last thing Mei Yin can rely on to stay and protect Zhu Wengui.

Mei Shunchang stood at the head of the city.

On the sea in front of him, there were several large ships between the iron-locked seas, and the soldiers were constantly carrying fresh water, dry rations, bows and crossbows and other burdens to the ships.

For a rainy day.

According to his father's instructions, as long as the news of defeat came from Fengting, Mei Shunchang would take Zhu Wengui and others to flee to the sea, whether to go to the West or to the Japanese Kingdom, Mei Shunchang decided by himself according to the situation.

Mei Yin means to go to the Western Ocean, and Mei Shunchang is actually inclined to the Wa Kingdom.

There are 2,000 soldiers, and they can also create a piece of heaven and earth in the Wa Kingdom.

In the distance, the blue waves ripple and the sea and sky are colorful.

Looking at the end of the hopeless sight, Mei Shunchang felt heavy, who was willing to leave his hometown and go to the ocean as a last resort, but unfortunately things were not up to anyone.

Mei Shunchang, as a scholar, actually understands the urine nature of a scholar too well, and his father Mei Yin still has too high expectations for Jianwen's former ministers, even if Fengting wins, it may not necessarily be that Jianwen's former ministers in other parts of the country will gather to respond.

Now the backbone of Jianwen's former ministers in the Ming Dynasty has long been discounted by Zhu Di.

No blood.

The deaths of Fang Xiaoru and Jingqing have reached the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and most of the scholars are still obsessed with Emperor Jianwen when the matter comes.

There are very few people like Wang Gen.

There are more Hu Guang, Li Guan and others, scholars are also people, and they also have the heart of fame and fortune, such as Na Xie Jin, isn't that the case.

Zhu Yunwen is dead.

's father failed to assist Zhu Wengui to grab the country, so in the hearts of those scholars, the king of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Di, the king has changed, but it is still the Zhu family, as long as they do things steadfastly, they can also glorify their ancestors and be rich and equal.

Why take the risk of rebellion?

A long sigh.

Mei Shunchang suddenly turned around and said to his mother, Princess Ningguo, behind him: "Mother, go and rest, it's windy." ”

Princess Ningguo came to Mei Shunchang's side, looked at the busyness of the big boat below, brushed her sideburns that were blown by the sea breeze, and asked, "Shunchang, are your father and Jingfu unable to come back?" ”

Mei Shunchang was silent.

It's hard to say.

It's hard to say.

Don't say good.

After all, I want to give my mother a little hope, and people live just for the hope of the bright sunshine in their hearts.

Princess Ningguo wanted to speak and stopped.

In the end, nothing was said.

In fact, she wanted to say, Shunchang, we don't need to prepare to go to sea, you don't know your uncle Zhu Di, what happened to this point, how could he not leave a back hand in the sea.

Maybe Fengting was defeated, and as soon as we entered the sea, we were stopped by the sailors.

Same as Mei Shunchang's thoughts.

Princess Ningguo is also willing to leave a little hope for her eldest son.

In fact, Mei Shunchang underestimated the scholars, and when the Fengting side was about to have a decisive battle, within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the dormant Jianwen old ministers had already responded.

First of all, Yunnan.

An old minister of Jianwen in a high position wanted to respond to Fujian, and led a military general loyal to Jianwen to prepare to control the military power in his hands, and then took the opportunity to respond to Fujian.

But—

The situation in Yunnan is not so simple, there is another person in Yunnan.

A person who is absolutely trusted by the old Zhu family.

Wang Muying of Qianning.

Mu Ying is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son and the most trusted founding courtier of Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted him.

Mu Ying has been running Yunnan for many years, and it can be said that Mu Wangfu is the real ruler of Yunnan.

So when Zhu Quan and Zhu Di discussed the fief before, they also joked that they would go to Yunnan if they bargained with Zhu Di again - when they arrived in Yunnan, Zhu Quan was not even a fart, not to mention the vassal king.

Under the influence of Mu Wangfu, a vassal king who is just a vassal is really not as good as a fart.

Mu Ying died early.

First, he coughed up blood because of the death of his adoptive mare Queen Ma, and then Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, died, and Mu Ying suffered another blow, and died of illness in Yunnan two months later at the age of forty-eight.

From this point of view, Mu Ying is definitely an old minister of Jianwen.

But now the actual controller of Mu Wangfu is Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng, who was hereditary Marquis of Xiping in 1398. In the Battle of Jingyan, Mu Sheng did not have the king of Qin - the king of the hammer.

When Zhu Yunwen finishes cleaning up Zhu Di and the others, the next one will be to clean up his Mu family, and the treatment of the Mu family in Yunnan is only higher than that of ordinary vassal kings, how can there be no reason.

Isn't it fragrant for the Mu family to be the emperor of the soil in Yunnan?

So why do you want to help you Zhu Yunwen Qinwang and find guilt for yourself.

From this point of view, Mu Sheng was actually frightened by Zhu Yunwen's initial cruel methods to cut the domain, and maybe the tragedy of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, who set his family on fire, would also happen to the Mu family - therefore, there is really no explanation for the fact that there is really no explanation for the four characters of sour Confucianism and misappropriation of the country during the Jianwen period.

Therefore, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Mu Sheng was actually secretly cool.

But having said that, Mu Sheng actually supported Zhu Yunwen, so the incident of Jianwen's old ministers in Yunnan is likely to be supported by Mu Sheng in the eyes of outsiders.

But people's hearts are unpredictable.

No one knows what Mu Sheng is thinking, anyway, Mu Sheng knew that after the incident in Yunnan, Mu Sheng knew that after the incident in Yunnan, the old ministers of Jianwen reacted decisively, which was extremely surprising, and he directly mobilized troops and horses to suppress strongly, so the two old ministers of Jianwen in Yunnan who were both literate and martial arts quickly went to find Fang Xiaoru and Jingqing successively.

This shows the Mu family's control over Yunnan.

Yunnan is the Yunnan of the Mu family, this is an undeniable fact for anyone.

Outside Yunnan, there were also Jianwen's old ministers in Guizhou, but there was a lot of vigorous movement, but just three days later, Zhu Di was killed by Zhu Di's martyrdom in Guizhou.

There's no scum left!

Where the interests lie, the position of the heroes of Jingnan on this matter is firmer than that of the Mu family.

In addition to Yunnan and Guizhou, there are also small-scale Jianwen old ministers in Guangdong and Guangxi, but unfortunately, they can't do the spark that ignites the prairie - how could Zhu Di be unprepared, otherwise the counterinsurgency and the western expedition will be worried and without soldiers?

is unwilling to move the local guard station, and keep troops to prevent other Jianwen old ministers from making trouble.

The Battle of Fengting entered the white heat.

I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu is indeed a good hand on the battlefield, but I have to admit that Mei Yin is not only a great talent in strategy, but also in military affairs.

It was on par with Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, an important figure determined the direction of this war: Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting in Yingtian, did not only care about his position as the prince as Mei Yin and Zhu Gaochu thought, Zhu Gaochi looked far away, he knew that even if Zhu Gaochu was killed this time, his position as the prince would not be secure.

It will even be ridiculed by the world.

Moreover, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached.

Zhu Gaochi did two things in Yingtian: allocate all available resources in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and quickly reinforce Zhu Gaochu in Fengting at all costs, and at the same time order Zhu Neng, Xu Huizu, Zheng Heng and others to contain the rebels with a small number of troops, and divide troops to reinforce Zhu Gaochu as much as possible.

Zhu Gaochi's move was unexpected by Mei Yin.

He's on the right track!

Mei Yin knew that Zhu Gaochi would most likely not dare to take the opportunity to kill Zhu Gaochu, and it was likely that he would watch from the sidelines, and after Zhu Gaochu was defeated, Zhu Gaochi would come out to clean up the mess, so that the probability of Zhu Gaochi's position as the prince would increase greatly.

He didn't expect that Zhu Gaochi would rather let Zhu Gaochu reap great achievements than put down the rebellion first.

So Mei Yin lost.

On the battlefield, losing is death.

There is a river in the south of Fengting, named Luoyang River, said to be a river, in fact, it is a river with a very short basin, which runs down the Luoyang River and can reach the capital of Quanzhou.

Mei Yin stood by the river in armor.

Around him, there were routs all over the mountains, and on the faces of these routs, there was only endless despair, and there was no one on their faces who still had the slightest brilliance.

No one can see hope.

No one is an idiot, and everyone knows what they do.

Rebellion.

There is no need to be reminded of how the country treats the rebels, everyone knows it, but for the lowest soldiers, it is not a complete despair, and they are most likely sent to the border to serve as soldiers.

It's also a soldier, but the treatment is very poor.

But future generations will be affected.

The real despair is those middle and high-level generals, once the rebellion is over, all that awaits them is death.

Beside Mei Yin, there were two people standing.

Mei Jingfu and Fang Yushan, followed him from the battlefield to lead the rout to flee to the Luoyang River, at the moment it is just a little rectification, how to act next, depends on Mei Yin's plan.

Mei Jingfu looked at his father and asked softly, "Father, we only need to hold on for another three or five days, and Lin Yuan will be able to lead the army to reinforcements." ”

Mei Yin smiled bitterly, "Lin Yuan has arrived, and Xu Huizu and Zhu Neng have also arrived." ”

Among the rebels of the Ming Dynasty, there are only three people who can make Mei Yin look at him differently: Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Xu Huizu.

Fang Yushan sighed: "There is no way back. ”

If you retreat, it will be Quanzhou.

With the current troops, even if they can retreat to Quanzhou City, they won't be able to hold it for long - Fujian is not a rich land after all, and the little grain and grass hoarded in Quanzhou alone will not last long.

Moreover, there is not much grain and grass in Quanzhou City, which cannot support the army, and if there is no grain and grass, sooner or later there will be a mutiny.

It's exhausted.

Of course, Mei Yin knew this, looked around, hesitated for a long time, and then softly ordered Mei Jingfu to let him convey the order, Mei Jingfu hesitated and was unwilling to give up, and finally Fang Yushan said softly.

Mei Jingfu then went to give the order.

Mei Yin came to the river, washed the blood on his body, took off his armor, and removed his armor with the help of Fang Yushan, then put on a blue and white Confucian shirt and combed his long hair......

Zhu Gaoxu is ambitious.

He won.

In the Battle of Fengting, he was in a difficult situation for a while, and after several confrontations with the rebels, he was about to run out of ammunition and food on a rapid march, and he was about to be defeated.

At the critical moment, the grain and grass have arrived!

The grain and grass urgently transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at all costs, killed countless soldiers and horses along the way, and finally sent them to the rear of his camp thirty miles away at a critical moment.

Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised.

He never dreamed that Zhu Gaochi's waste did not fall into the ground, but instead reinforced himself at a critical moment, giving himself a chance to turn defeat into victory.

With food, grass and supplementary weapons, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

In one go, he destroyed Mei Yin's army.

Chase while you win!

Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to chase all the way, and when he came to the bank of the Luoyang River, he only saw the mess all over the ground, and those routs gathered together in the distance.

Not much.

This is a bit abnormal, judging by the strength of the battle these days, although Mei Yin has broken the army, his soldiers and horses should be around thousands, why is there no one on the bank of the Luoyang River at this moment.

What about people?

Could it be that Mei Yin gave up these routs and ran back to Quanzhou by water?

Soon, one of the scouts returned.

Zhu Gaoxu was in high spirits after hearing this, and led his subordinates to the bank of the Luoyang River, looking at Mei Yin, who was sitting on the riverside cooking wine, and the second monk was puzzled.

Why don't you run away?

Not only that, there are only two people around Mei Yin at the moment: Fang Yushan and Mei Jingfu.

What's even more strange is that Mei Yin has already removed his armor.

At this moment, wearing a green shirt and freshening up, Sven sat on the riverbank freely, drinking warm wine, looking at Zhu Gaoxu with peaceful eyes, his eyes were extremely quiet, "The virtuous nephew is here." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked the henchmen who had returned after looking around from patrolling.

The henchman nodded.

Signaling that there is no ambush.

Zhu Gaoxu dismounted, came to Mei Yin with a few henchmen, stood by his sword, and said with a smile: "Uncle is trying to learn from my father and the emperor, and also sing an empty city plan for my nephew?" ”

Mei Yin smiled and said nothing, pointing to the other side, "Do you dare to sit down and have a drink?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "Why don't you dare." ”

Mei Yin poured Zhu Gaoxu a glass of wine.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't move.

If you dare to sit down, you don't dare to drink wine, in case it is poisoned, the great country is waiting for me Zhu Gaoxu, why should I die with you Mei Yin for this little face.

I don't have a bag in my head.

Mei Yin didn't care, and said softly: "After the battle of Fengting, your reputation in the army will directly catch up with His Royal Highness King Yan back then, even if you become a vassal in the future, it will be a headache for Zhu Gaochi, and it is even possible to reproduce the glory of your father." What's more, after this war, the future prince of the Ming Dynasty is likely to be you. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was secretly cool, "Uncle Jiyan." ”

After the victory of Fengting, I still need to be difficult, back to the court, once the prince is established, I will be the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

He was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Mei Yin's gourd.
