Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfu is now the governor of Huguang, and before his second brother died of illness, he was in the Yamen, the governor of Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, to deploy the battle to seize Kuizhou and Yunyang Mansions. But now he has returned to Wuhan Mansion and is busy sending it to his brother - he and Wu Sangui have a good relationship, and now that his brother is gone, he is grief-stricken and has no mood at all, so he handed in his resignation. wanted to step down as governor, let Hubei Governor Hao Shaoqi take over, and organize Wu Sangui's funeral wholeheartedly.

Before the chapter was handed over, Emperor Zhu immediately summoned him in the Qinzheng Hall. He originally thought that the emperor had granted him leave, but as soon as he arrived at Qinzheng Hall, he found that something was wrong.

Because the military advisor Feng Sizhong, the military department Li Yan, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Chunjie, are all there, and it is not to approve his leave!

"Minister Wu Sanfu respectfully asks Your Majesty Sheng'an." Wu Sanfu bowed.

Zhu Cihong said: "I bow down and give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Sanfu was not polite to Emperor Zhu, thanked him, and pulled a chair at the conference table and sat down.

"Have you seen Sangui's testament?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"I've seen it." Wu Sanfu replied.

"What do you think?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

Wu Sanfu nodded and said, "The minister thinks it's very good...... However, Chen has not mentioned it to Chen and Ke. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, let's do the funeral first," Zhu Cihong said, "But Wu Qing, I'm afraid you can't stay in Wuhan Mansion to attend the funeral of the eldest uncle." ”

Wu Sanfu was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, Admiral Hao has followed Your Majesty for 23 years, has experienced a hundred battles, and has been proficient in the way of using soldiers, and is worthy of a great responsibility." ”

"I know," Zhu Cihong said, "I have approved your resignation, and I have also issued an edict for Hao Shaoqi to take over as governor and Feng San to take over as admiral." But you can't stay in Wuhan, because I still have a big task for you! ”

Wu Sanfu already understood, "Your Majesty wants the minister to go to Shaanxi?" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Your Wu family has been fighting the Battle of Pingchuan for so long, and now that the melons are ripe, you can't let others pick them!" ”

"But, Kechen's health is not good," Wu Sanfu said, "I'm always dizzy, I'm afraid I can't stop the big responsibility!" ”

You're high blood pressure! Zhu Cihong knew it as soon as he saw Wu Sanfu's round figure and his red face...... You have to lose weight, at least 30 pounds, otherwise you will be Wu Wuning in a few years!

"I asked Doctor Zeng to follow you," Zhu Cihong said, "I also gave him a will, let him manage your food and drink for 12 months, ensure that you don't get dizzy or dizzy, and you can work for Da Ming for another 20 years!" ”

Originally, Zhu Cihong didn't plan to save Wu Sanfu...... It's not bad to eat and drink until you're in your early sixties and fat, and you can still get the nickname of Wu Wuning, what more can you ask for?

But the problem is that now the momentum of the Northerners is falling too fast, and the Southerners have the desire to compete for military merit, and they are ...... Wu Sangui also gave Emperor Zhu a big gift when he was dying - a particularly cute gift! Emperor Zhu was embarrassed to see death and not save him.

So he gave Dr. Zeng two secret recipes for treating Wu Sanfu's vertigo - weight loss, and quitting alcohol!

In the future, there will be no good food and drink......

"Your Majesty, you said that you are in charge of the minister's food and drink?" Wu Sanfu was stunned and stunned, "The minister didn't fail to eat...... Although the minister was in a bad mood because of the loss of his brother, he still had to eat food and drink. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Your vertigo is caused by being too fat and drinking, you must diet and borrow alcohol, and exercise more." ”

If you don't eat or drink, you have to exercise...... Wu Sanfu subconsciously glanced at Zhu Chunjie, the commander of the Jinyi Guard-he really didn't arrest the Jinyi Guard?

Zhu Chunjie hurriedly shook his head - with your level of Wu Sanfu, even if you are caught in Jinyiwei, you still have to eat and drink well! So you can rest assured!

"Wu Qing," Zhu Cihong said solemnly, "I am right, the prescription I said was summed up by the imperial doctor in the palace for many years...... You're going to have to work hard to lose weight! Daming still has to rely on you, the military veteran, to support you in the future. ”

Listening to Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Sanfu was also moved for a while, and he was embarrassed to say that he was greedy......

As soon as Wu Sangui died, Wu Sanfu really became an important weight to balance the north and the south, and if there was no more, Zhu Cihong would have to promote a group of military cadets around the age of forty.

Of course, these generals who were born in martial arts classes were fierce enough to suppress the southerners' profiteers...... But Zhu Cihong didn't want such a situation, so he had to let a respected old-fashioned figure like Wu Sanfu be pressed on the stage, and when the generation of military cadets reached 50 years away, their temperament was almost grinded, and it was better to sing against the Nanren Party.

Seeing that Wu Sanfu no longer resisted losing weight, Zhu Cihong said again: "Wu Qing, I asked you to go to Shaanxi, just to sit in the town, don't rush to the front like the eldest uncle." Yan Yingyuan, Qin Mingtao, Yu Daren, Li Yuanyin, and Tian Yiqing have all gone to the front line in Shaanxi. With them charging in front, it will be enough to pacify Sichuan. ”

"The minister knows," Wu Sanfu said, "the minister is to respect the Bodhisattva and give them a town." ”

Zhu Cihong said with concern: "It's not just a town, but you also have to lose weight...... You have to lose at least 30 pounds, and you have to quit drinking. ”

......

In the mountains of western Hubei at this time, there is a fugitive army with high morale, passing through the paths between the mountains, all the way to the west.

The fugitive army did not have uniform uniforms, and their weapons were varied, mostly short and portable ones, with no long guns, no long-poleed flintlock pistols and arquebuses. The armor rate is quite high, and it can reach three or four percent. However, there is no plate mail, only chain mail.

In addition, there were many mules and donkeys in this army, all carrying things, and they looked like they were returning with a full load.

Needless to say, this fleeing army is the remnants of the rebels of the Huya Mountain Uprising - there are quite a few left, at least 5,000 people! It's a little more than when they left Huya Mountain.

The reason why this happened was because the Ming army's pursuit army was slow to react, and they followed slowly, not in a hurry at all. And on the way west from Jingmen Mountain, there are some quite strong heroes from time to time. So the team is getting bigger and bigger!

And the supplies along the way are not a problem, because this road was originally a route for smuggling and trafficking, and many villages along the way that made smuggled money had to be washed by this group of rebels.

However, as the army got closer to Sichuan, Niu Jie, as the chief general of the three armies, felt that something was wrong...... But he can't say what's wrong, in short, it's wrong!

In addition, it seems easy to pull 5,000 people to Sichuan, but how to settle these 5,000 people is also a problem in Niu Jie's view.

If one person gives 40 koku, it is 200,000 koku...... Where is the land?

And there are still high and low among 5,000 people, so it's impossible to give a basic number!

It's dizzy to think about!

But no matter how dizzy he is, he can only follow now. Because since he drilled into the mountains of western Hubei Province, he has completely lost his way, and he knows that from this mountain to that mountain, the mountain that cannot be climbed, the valley that cannot be walked, and he does not know where he has slipped to?

If he is allowed to go back and there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid that he will have to live in the mountains of western Hubei for the rest of his life.

"Xiucaigong, where are we here?"

As the army came out of the two mountain packs, Ushisuke saw a large number of relatively gentle terrain in front of him, and also opened up a large area of terraced rice fields, which meandered with the mountain in layers, both real and illusory, like a beautiful landscape painting slowly spreading.

"This is Shi Zhouwei's Jiannan Division," Zhang Xiucai said with a smile, "Further west is Sichuan!" ”

"Where is Sichuan?" Usuke has long been out of direction, and he hasn't heard of this Kennan Division.

"Near Wanxian and Zhongju in Sichuan." Zhang Xiucai said with a smile, "In three or four days at most, we will be able to step into the land of Dashun." ”

Niu Jie was a little surprised: "It's so far!" He craned his neck and looked, "There are no Zhu Ming's soldiers in this area?" ”

"Of course there is!" Zhang Xiucai said, "But they won't stop us...... They are all thieves who guard their homes, and they won't stand in our way. ”
