When he arrived in Ningxia City, Ye Mengxiong immediately sent a messenger to inquire about the team on that road. When he heard that it was Zhongwei's Jinyi Wei Baihu Zhu Yidao who led the team, Ye Mengxiong actually came out to greet him in person!

This made Lao Zhu a little flattered, compared with these court officials, Lao Zhu was really ashamed. They are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and they are just lucky. How can it be so easy to defend the Acropolis and kill the two sons of Bobai? In the final analysis, Lao Zhu himself thinks it's shit luck.

Ye Mengxiong is much more approachable than he imagined, unlike the old man Wei Xuezeng, this Ye Mengxiong has a lot less lofty temperament, but he is very kind, which not only makes Lao Zhu feel very comfortable, Wanli also feels that he has picked the right person.

He asked Lao Zhu in detail about all the process of guarding the Acropolis, even the officer who led the team. Lao Zhu thinks that this guy is more suitable to be a general, how could Wanli let him be a governor? After spending half a day listening to Lao Zhu's detailed report, Ye Mengxiong laughed heartily and patted Lao Zhu's shoulder vigorously: "Brother! You're not just lucky! How about letting this Governor shine in your light too? ”

Lao Zhu rubbed his aching shoulder: "Lord Ye is too polite!" Of course, we must share blessings, difficulties, light, and good luck!"

Ye Mengxiong's beard trembled: "Then you should tell me, how to fight this Ningxia City?" ”

Lao Zhu was a little confused. Why would you ask me this question? You're the Governor! If I really come up with a solution, won't I steal the limelight from you? Now that I'm in the limelight enough, no, I have to avoid the limelight!

"Lord Ye, this official is also just here, and he is not familiar with this Ningxia City! And my lord, you are wise and powerful, strong and strong, and you have a divine clothes and cannons to support you, presumably you have already been confident, right? Lao Zhu replied cautiously.

Ye Mengxiong shook his head slightly: "Brother, you don't know, my soldiers have gathered troops from several provinces!" It's not a part of it, and the military order is not smooth! Don't look at the strength of the soldiers on the surface, if you really fight, do you know who listens to you and who doesn't? I'm afraid that this attack will be ruined on this. That's why I want to hear what you think. You are now here with military merits, and you are in the limelight in Ningxia for a while, so you don't dare not sell your face if you forgive those turtles, right? ”

Lao Zhu was even more frightened. What does this mean? This shows that now everyone is looking at Lao Zhu's performance, if Lao Zhu disobeys Ye Mengxiong Yang, they will be even more disdainful of Ye Mengxiong, where is he praising Lao Zhu with this move, it is clearly reminding Lao Zhu that he is the new governor of Ningxia! No matter how much credit you make, you still have to obey me!

But listening to him doesn't hurt you, at least you have to suppress the limelight. It's not going to do you any good if you go on like this.

Lao Zhu carefully sorted out his thoughts, and said carefully: "Lord Ye, in fact, it all depends on how you want to fight; If you want to attack from the front, you only need to keep enough artillery bombardment on the city every day; If you want to solve the battle quickly, I remember that there is a river next to Ningxia City, so it is better to dig the dam mouth and release water to flood the city! In a few days, then Bobai will be bound and surrendered! ”

Ye Mengxiong's still smiling face couldn't help but stiffen. He only came up with this method yesterday, and he has been frantically shelling Ningxia City for the past few days, but with little effect. That Liu Dongchang still has two brushes, and he is determined to go one way to the end: never surrender! He had already rebelled from the side of the Ming army, where could he oppose Bobai again? He is now almost the same as Lu Bu in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

So Ye Mengxiong pondered whether the city should be flooded, and it happened that the new governor Zhu Zhengse also had such an idea, so the two decided to open the dam. But Zhu Zhengse said that he was the first to lead troops into the city, Ye Mengxiong had no better way, Zhu Zhengse was a relative of the emperor, where could he rob him of credit?

Now this newly arrived Qiu 800 Hu Zhu Yidao actually thought of flooding the city, it seems that the battle exploits of defending the central guard are not all due to luck, this person still has some ability. Don't underestimate it! In fact, Ye Mengxiong also knows, how many people in Jinyiwei are literate? are all from the folk to pick some Confucian people, big characters do not know a basket, occasionally there are one or two, that is also strange and similar to something, like this Zhu Yidao small white face sat in the position of a hundred households at a young age, it is still very, very rare.

So Ye Mengxiong decided to open the dam and release water to flood the city. After all, even Governor Zhu Zhengse thinks so, and Baihu Zhu Yidao also thinks so, so there will be no problem!

But Lao Zhu proposed to him that Liu Dongchang and others in the city should not be so comfortable, and that propaganda warfare should be carried out against them. What is propaganda warfare? Ye Mengxiong was a little confused, and Lao Zhu had to explain that it was to send an arrow to the city, persuade him to surrender with good words, only punish the evil, and not prosecute the accomplices, so that the traitors could be divided, even if the water could not be flooded, it would not make them feel better. Maybe after a few dozen more days, maybe the traitors will be divided, and the pressure of the siege will be much less.

Ye Mengxiong couldn't help but glance at Lao Zhu again. There are not many generals who can come up with this idea, and Jinyiwei is even less pitiful. At least he hadn't heard of any brocade guard with such brains. What did this guy do before he became a brocade guard? How can such a great future be a brocade guard? It's a pity, it's a pity, if it's in the army, maybe in a few years it will be a general again!

Of course, Lao Zhu didn't know what Ye Mengxiong was thinking, he just wanted to end this war quickly. Wanli told him on the road that this time he dispatched troops across the country, and spent countless amounts of grain, grass and silver, and spent a million taels of internal money alone! As he spoke, Wan Li revealed his distress for the silver from time to time, but he also knew that it would be dangerous if he did not quell the rebellion against the Ming Dynasty. It's just that Lao Zhu, who has never seen the emperor who loves money so much, is a little painful, I only heard that Wanli doesn't like government politics before, why haven't I heard that he is still as greedy for money as Jiajing?! Jiajing's greed for money is well-known in history, and some people in later generations have said that during the entire Jiajing period, the household department of the Ming Dynasty was actually Jiajing himself, and he himself did not go to the court, but he grasped the entire Ming Dynasty's finances in his own hands and did not relax at all.

Lao Zhu could only promise Wanli depressedly that he would find a way to get some money out to subsidize the loss of internal funds, but there was no way to do it with the deficit of the household department! Wanli also has a headache, he hasn't used some money yet, and the household department doesn't agree, if you want to buy something, you can buy something, I don't pay for it! Wanli's father, Emperor Longqing, was pitiful but wanted to buy some ornaments for his concubine, so the household department objected and didn't pay for it. That's it, there are still ministers who wrote to angrily denounce Longqing's prodigal behavior!

Make Longqing so angry, you scolded me before I bought it? If I buy it, then you won't have to tear down the roof of the main hall?! That's it, a minister also connected three times and scolded Longqing for being bloody! Wanli was still young at the time, but he was also angry: these ministers were too much, and his father was scolded like this before he bought them, wouldn't he have rebelled if he bought these people?!

In this counterinsurgency, the household department actually said that it didn't cost much money, and asked that only grain and grass be given, and the problem of silver money should be solved by Wanli himself! Poor Wanli had no choice but to take up his own internal idea, gritted his teeth and took out a million taels. That's a million taels! When Longqing's father, Emperor Xian, died, there was only less than 100,000 taels left to Wanli! Now the money in the inner money is still copied from Wang Mingqing's house!

Lao Zhu pondered, is it this time to break through Ningxia City and copy a small home? Bobai's family should have at least a few hundred thousand taels, right? I heard that when he broke Ningxia City, he not only killed Dang Xin, but also raided Dang Xin's home. That Dang Xin has been an official here for many years, and his official reputation has never been very good, so he should have a lot of savings, right?

The effect of flooding the city is very obvious, and the effect of propaganda warfare is also very obvious!

Bobai's subordinate general Tu Wenxiu didn't buy Liu Dongchang's account at all, and since Bobai couldn't afford to fall ill, he didn't respect Liu Dongchang, the nominal commander-in-chief, at all. Every day, he did his own thing, organized defense, and at the same time strengthened and expanded his team in Ningxia City; Xu Chao was dissatisfied with Liu Dongchang, and even more dissatisfied with Tu Wenxiu: I will also pull if you pull Zhuangding! Let's see who can control the entire city of Ningxia!

On September 17th, the spies got the news that Liu Dongchang took advantage of the merger between Tuwenxiu and Xu Chao to kill Tu Wenxiu, but Xu Chao was also killed by Tu Wenxiu. Then Zhou Guozhu, in order to gain control of the entire army, became a yellow finch after the praying mantis caught cicadas and killed Liu Dongchang. The entire city of Ningxia has become extremely chaotic in the fight between the rebels!

Bo Bai was still lying on the bed and could not move, and now no one cared for the poor old man.

When Zhu Zhengse and Ye Mengxiong broke through the city gate and rushed into Ningxia City, only Zhu Yidao went to visit this old Bobai who was lying on the bed and could only move above the neck - he was in a hurry, his cerebral blood vessels ruptured, and his whole body was paralyzed from the neck down, and Lao Zhu came up with this correct medical explanation. But there was no use anymore, Bo Bai's dim old eyes looked at Zhu Yidao, and muttered to himself: What have I done, what have I done......
