Although the firefighting method is very primitive, but the strength of the number of people is large, the fire is finally gradually getting smaller, Lin Xiao also stepped back a little to take a breath, but found that a person in the distance was shouting loudly and directing the army and civilians to carry water and splash water.

I didn't notice the noisy voices just now, but now, Lin Xiao, who had calmed down, saw clearly by the light of the fire that this person was the governor Zhang Tongchang, and then stepped forward and shouted, "Lord Zhang, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhang Tongchang turned his head when he heard this, and after seeing that it was Lin Xiao, he stretched out his hands and shouted ecstatically: "Brother Shuangmu, are you here?" You...... It's finally here! ”

It stands to reason that Lin Xiao's official position as the governor of the right army is half a level higher than him, but Zhang Tongchang didn't even care about his official position when he was excited, and still called Brother Shuangmu cordial.

"Here, is the situation okay? Is Lord Qu okay? ”

Lin Xiao also stretched out his hands and held Zhang Tongchang's hand tightly.

"Hey! It's hard to put it into words...... Brother Shuangmu, you are here, and the overall situation will be worry-free. ”

"Brother Beishan is serious, you and I will protect Daming Sheji, and we will do our best."

"By the way, most of the soldiers left behind by your department were transferred to the front line by the teacher, and only more than 30 people remained, and they also helped to patrol the night in the city.

Zhang Tongchang said excitedly, since Lin Xiao arrived, the rest are not in a hurry, it is better to explain the situation of his subordinates clearly first.

"Oh, that's fine."

Lin Xiao replied with a smile, no wonder Lin Xiao and the others, who were obviously dressed differently, were approaching to put out the fire, he didn't notice it, and then asked, "This fire, what's going on?" ”

"It was reported that there was a small work to take advantage of the chaos to set the fire, but unfortunately, the arsonist took advantage of the chaos and escaped and was not caught."

Zhang Tongchang said with regret, "I have ordered all departments to send additional patrols to ensure that the city is cleaned up to ensure that there will be no more such chaos...... Brother Shuangmu, let's go to the palace first, shall we? ”

……

Emperor Yongli had already rested, and suddenly heard that the street outside the palace was noisy, and he turned over in surprise and got up and came to the imperial study, and was ordering the attendants to go out of the palace to watch, just when Qu Shiyun and several other cabinet scholars hurriedly arrived, and they talked to everyone in the imperial study.

"What's going on outside?" Yongli said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, it is reported that there are only a few small servants who took advantage of the chaos to set fire, not the rebels who entered the city, Zhang Tongchang has ordered the whole city to be arrested, and Jinyiwei is also under secret investigation." Qu Shiyun said with relief.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Emperor Yongli felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he hesitated for a while, "I don't know what happened to Li Yuanyin's side, I heard that the traitor has been killed to fruition?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the front line has just come to report, the first battle of Nanyang Hou has defeated the rebel front, Sun Thief is expected to retreat overnight, even if his army arrives and counterattacks again, it is expected to hold on for a few days."

"It's hateful that behind the Jiannu Chen Bing Sun thief, the wolf's ambition is obvious, and I don't know it...... Can the Marquis of Qinchuan and Li Dingguo send troops to the king. Emperor Yongli lamented.

The frightened and exhausted emperor had no faith in the two feudal towns.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the messengers on both sides should have already arrived, and the Marquis of Qinchuan will definitely come to escort you,"

Facing the depressed emperor, Qu Shiyun could only continue to comfort, "As for the king of Xining, the old minister has sent someone to issue an edict to entitle him as the king of Jin according to His Majesty's will. ”

"I hope so...... I want Emperor Taizu Gao to sweep away Hulu and unify the United States, and Emperor Cheng Zuwen will shock all the people...... And I have been in the unification for several years now...... Filial piety is difficult, the people are uneasy, Wen is fixed inside, martial arts are disturbed outside, Zhongxing is unprovoked, I have no face, what face do I have to see the ancestors and ancestors in Jiuquan......"

The more Yongli thought about it, the more sad and angry he became, and he couldn't help crying and said.

When the ministers saw the emperor's situation, they were speechless, and could only be accompanied by silence.

At this time, he heard Hu Chengen, the eunuch outside the door, say urgently: "Your Majesty, Governor Zhang asked to see him, and he said that it was ...... The escort of King Qinchuan Hou Qin came. ”

"Marquis of Kotogawa? Hurry up, announce quickly. Yongli was refreshed when he heard this, and shouted repeatedly.

……

Lin Xiao's arrival, Emperor Yongli was overjoyed, as usual warm words of encouragement, after asking a few words, he was persuaded by the ministers to go back to the harem to rest, and the specific use of troops was naturally discussed by Qu Shiyun and others.

"Shuangmu, you are really in time for rain, I don't know how many people and horses you brought this time?"

Out of the imperial study, everyone came to the front yard to be on duty, and as soon as they sat down, Qu Shiyun asked eagerly.

"My lord, don't worry, if you bring enough people this time, you will definitely wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "I just don't know, how many people are there in Sun Kewang this time?" ”

"I hope that the rebel thief, this time the elite is exhausted, waving more than 40,000 troops to invade Baise, and has now been blocked by Yuan Bo in Guohua, and thousands of other people are in the area of the east of the Hongshui River......

"Don't worry, my lord, there are hundreds of people from my subordinates stationed in Hechi, so I don't have to worry about it...... It's a loss, Uncle Yuan is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, and it will take half a day to reach the capital in the next brigade, I want to lead my entourage to rush to help, what else do you have to order? ”

There are still nearly 100 kilometers of mountain roads from Guohua here, even if you ride a horse, it will take at least half a day, Lin Xiao is concerned about the front line, and decided to take the special operations team to take the first step, for the weak defenders, even if there is one more person to help, it is good.

"The most hateful thing is that the Tartar army of hundreds of thousands has already invaded southern Sichuan and Hunan, and the situation is very critical......"

Qu Shiyun said worriedly, this was what he was most worried about.

"This, I already know it in the next place, my lord and relax, I came here this time, not just for Sun Kewang, I would have thought that I would meet this Wu Sangui in the next morning...... As for Hunan, Guilin and Wuzhou are all garrisoned by my main force, and the little men and horses of Tartar are not in my eyes. ”

Lin Xiao arched his hand and said proudly.

"Then it's all thanks to General Shuangmu, the old man will lead the people of Nanning to do their best to help ensure the smooth transportation of grain and grass for the army,"

Qu Shiyun heard the words and said, "In addition, the messenger sent to Kunming is also expected to have arrived, that Li Dingguo's loyalty is not comparable to the Sun thief, this time the emperor is gracious, and he will be crowned as the king of Jin, and he will take Guiyang directly according to the agreement, which can help you, after defeating the Sun thief, you can contact him and reject the Tartar army." ”

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of one word is not allowed to be rewarded if he is not a child surnamed Zhu. The surname of the military general, no matter how high the merit is, at most a two-character county king, so the previous Sun Kewang resolutely asked for the king of Qin caused a great turmoil, the current situation is critical, Yongli is the separation of Sun and Li, and he can't care so much, so he gritted his teeth and gave Li Dingguo as the king of Jin.

"So good,"

Lin Xiao's face was straight, and he arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have enough food and food in this time, and I don't want to defend the land...... It's also time for a counteroffensive to the Northern Expedition. ”

Immediately, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Zhang Tongchang: "Brother Beishan, behind you, there will be you waiting for you to respond, this time I brought dozens of respect cannons under you, and I will give you twenty new troops first, and I hope to step up the drills, go out as soon as possible, and work together to recover my Daming country." ”

Zhang Tongchang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Then thank you Brother Shuangmu, I will live up to my expectations." ”

"Lord Qu, when Yunnan and Guizhou are settled, don't forget to organize people to restore minerals, only in this way can Brother Beishan's new army be equipped with new firecrackers as soon as possible."

In the end, Lin Xiao didn't forget to remind Qu Shiyun about the exchange of firearms.
