………………

A few days before Li Dingguo's return to Kunming, it happened that Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi had defected out of Kunming not long ago. The government is like this, and the people of Kunming are even more cautious, after all, a few days ago, the two marshals surnamed Wang ransacked the warehouse, and then rebelled out of Kunming City from the small east gate.

A city in Kunming was designed and built by Mu Ying, the ancestor of the Mu family in the Ming Dynasty. The master looked at the veins of the long insect mountain and believed that this mountain was a dragon vein, which had to be overcome, transformed, supplemented and changed by spirit beasts, so the city of Kunming was designed as a spirit turtle, which determined the layout of the city and the direction of the city wall and the city gate.

The Great South Gate of the Spirit Turtle is the head, the North Gate is the tail, and the Weihe Gate, Yongqing Gate, Guangyuan Gate and Hongrun Gate on the east and west sides are the limbs of the Spirit Turtle respectively. On the same day, Wang Ziqi and Wang Shangli rebelled out of Kunming from the small east gate, and the people in the city privately said that the court killed the king of Qin, which was a self-cut end, and the second general rebelled out of Kunming to cut off the court's foot. In this way, when the saint drove to Kunming City before, the show made by the Son of Yongli in front of the people was also wiped out by the chaos when the rebels ransacked the warehouses and the houses and shops of Xiaodongmen.

After the Shadingzhou Rebellion, Kunming has been peaceful for ten years, and even the damage to Kunming during the Shadingzhou Rebellion is minimal. After hundreds of years of peace, the feudal town rebelled out of the city in front of the Son of Heaven, and the people in Kunming City were obviously not as strange as the people of Chang'an at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and there were too many differences in psychological quality, and these gossips were inevitable.

At the moment when the government was nervous and the people were whispering, the mule and horse carts of the brigade slowly drove into Kunming City, but the flag of the Qi Wangfu was hung.

Chen Wen, the king of Qi, was previously canonized as the king of Yue, and it is said that he was a marshal of the Ming army who rose in distant Zhejiang, and now he has recovered the first powerful domain of the Ming court in Nanjing, which is a little stronger than the previous Qin king Sun Kewang.

Many ordinary people know that the Yongli court has also hyped up the matter of changing the title of King of Qi, not only to show the court's generosity in treating meritorious heroes, in stark contrast to the killing of Sun Kewang, but also to create an atmosphere to intimidate Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi, the two generals in Kunming, as well as the feudal towns and Tusi in Yunnan, Guangxi and Sichuan.

Zhejiang is so far away, and the people of Kunming do not have a deep sense. is that Nanjing has been recovered, and they will inevitably have a discussion about whether the Son of Heaven will return to the capital after tea and dinner, and when it will be, that's all. Later, it was said that the King of Qin rebelled, and the King of Jin sent troops to quell the rebellion, but as soon as the King of Qi sent troops, the King of Qin and the King of Qi fought first, and as a result, the King of Qin was captured and dealt with by the imperial court, which is said to be the proposal of the King of Qi, and some people even said that the King of Qi forced the King of Jin to do this. Specifically, the little people do not know.

The rebellion had just ended, the King of Qi sent such a convoy to come, the people in Kunming City watched from the side of the road, and those who were familiar with the city gate guards inquired about one or two, and the answer was basically that the King of Qi sent people to contribute to the Son of Heaven.

Chen Wen, the king of Qi, the common people of Kunming remember that it was the largest feudal town in the world, and the famous Zhongxing generals who could not be defeated by the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Now that the King of Qi has sent someone to send tribute, the common people in Kunming City have settled down - not to mention anything else, at least looking at the King of Qi like this, other feudal towns are not too afraid to come to Kunming to make trouble.

The people in Kunming City were at ease, but Yongli couldn't sleep all night after seeing these tributes, and waited until a few days later, Li Dingguo returned to his teacher, and this panic and worry was considered to have found a suitable person to tell a thing or two.

"Minister, incompetent."

According to Yongli's estimates, even when Wang Shangli and they fled to Guangxi, it is estimated that He Jiuyi, a military general from the Qin domain, will also have to become an independent force and form an alliance with Wang Ziqi and Wang Shangli against the imperial court.

It stands to reason that this is to be blamed on the responsible coach, that is, Li Dingguo, but the strength is for example, Li Dingguo also did his best, especially Yongli really didn't want to criticize this loyal vassal king, so he had to get up quickly, walked down, and helped Li Dingguo up with both hands.

"Aiqing, it's not your fault, it's just King Qi, hey, the front door drives the wolf and the back door enters the tiger."

After Yongli sighed, he pointed to the "tributes" that the eunuchs had just carried to the palace, and said to Li Dingguo: "Aiqing, let's take a look at these." ”

Li Dingguo stood up tremblingly, still a little puzzled by the piles of boxes pointed by Yongli, but after opening it, Li Dingguo really stood stunned on the spot.

Inside the box were one file after another, just like Chen Wen had given Wen Anzhi and the generals of Kuidong. What is written in the dossier is nothing else, but the confessions of the victims of the evil deeds committed by the kings of the Huguang clan in the fiefdom in Chengping, and more of them are the investigation results of the officials sent to Huguang by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming military groups.

Yongli's Gui Domain is sealed in Huguang, and their family from his father to his brother to him, a total of three vassal kings are not mentioned, and they have not lived a good life for a few years before catching up with the war, but what other vassal kings did, and even what his father did in Chengping, he more or less heard about it, and immediately believed half of it.

Of course, if it is said that there is no falsification in this, Yongli does not believe it, but it doesn't matter how many of these are forgeries. Chen Wen sent these when he left Guizhou, not to tell someone in the Yongli Dynasty to communicate with him, but to tell him plainly that the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang had gained a firm foothold in Huguang, and the vassal king's desire to return to the fiefdom was simply a dream, don't think about it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, he still left me some thin noodles."

Yongli smiled bitterly and handed over the seven pieces to Li Dingguo, which were Chen Wen's impeachment of the seven vassal kings of Chu, Liao, Min, Xiang, Jing, Ji, and Rong with the respect of the king of Qi, and asked Yongli to punish according to the severity of the lawlessness, and those files were the evidence of impeachment.

Among them, the only thing that is not is the Gui Domain, to which Yongli belongs, in fact, it is not just a matter of saving face, this is clearly Chen Wen telling Yongli that if he provokes him again, the next time he will be sent will not be an impeachment recital, but it will inevitably be an ultimatum to ask him to abdicate!

"This rebellious minister and thief, Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the army out of Guizhou and fight to the death with this traitor!"

Li Dingguo, who was extremely angry, fell to the ground on one knee and asked Yongli for battle, although this is not the result of careful consideration, but it is by no means impulsive. Chen Wen's current occupation area is larger than the other nominal feudal towns of the Yongli Imperial Court combined, and most of them are rich like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if it is said that the strength of the imperial court can recover one point every day that passes, then Chen Wen's strength will be ten or one hundred points stronger, and the two sides are not above the same order of magnitude at all.

If it takes another year and a half to send troops, there may be a possibility of a war, if it takes another year and a half, I am afraid that Chen Wen will be able to bulldoze the Yongli Imperial Court with the tactics of the sea of people, and he will not be able to use a thousand means.

Li Dingguo is like this, Yongli is also sincerely sighing, Chen Wen sent not only these, but also a few boxes with a lot of local specialties, which can also be regarded as tribute.

Hangzhou embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, Huimo, Sheyan, porcelain from Jingdezhen Imperial Ware Workshop, oil paper umbrella from Fuzhou, embroidery from Yangzhou, tangerine peel from Xinhui and red porcelain from Huguang, if you look at it together with those songs, it is clear that Chen Wen is showing off his strength, and persuades Yongli not to make unnecessary resistance. It's just that every time I think of state affairs, Yongli weeps too much, and always feels sorry for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

"Aiqing, forget it, he still obeys me as the co-master of the world, and he has not played the banner of self-reliance. We monarchs and ministers get along, and it is not without opportunities, and now that we are unknown, there is really no need to do such things that make relatives painful and enemies happy. ”

"Your Majesty, Minister, Minister......"

Li Dingguo raised his head and looked at Yongli who was in tears, and tears welled up in his tiger eyes. The two monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless, and after a long time, Yongli suppressed his tears before slowly explaining some of his thoughts about Chen Wen to Li Dingguo.

"Aiqing, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, he has reached this point, but he has been unwilling to tear his face with the court. Even this time, with the momentum of defeating Sun Kewang, he could have entered Yunnan and forced me to give way to him, so why bother to retreat to Huguang after searching in Guizhou, and still serve me as the master. ”

Yongli's question is actually what Li Dingguo was thinking about before, Chen Wen's behavior is not a loyal minister at all, at least it is different from him. Li Dingguo remembered that he had just arrived in Anlong to take over, and when Yongli gave the banquet, he had eaten the dishes fried with Jinhua ham slices held in Jingdezhen's porcelain.

"I thought about these things, and there was only one answer, that is, in fact, he was still missing something, so he would continue to do so. But it is also thanks to him that he is calm, otherwise even if he forces me to give in, it is just an enlarged version of Sun Kewang, and the benevolent and righteous people in the world's feudal towns and people will not be convinced, and its future can also be seen. ”

Speaking of this, Yongli couldn't help but nodded, but whether this action was praise for him touching Chen Wen's pulse, or appreciation for Chen Wen's vision and determination, only he knew.

Having said that, Yongli saw that Li Dingguo was obviously also questioned, so he bluntly explained to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was born as a rogue thief but was now one of the most loyal courtiers around him.

"Our emperor Emperor Taizu Gao expelled the Tartars and restored the Han family, so as to cover the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. The situation that Chen Wen is facing now is not much inferior to Emperor Gao, and the world is indeed about to be swept away by the Tartars, so what he has been seeking is nothing more than a miracle to expel the Tartars, a qualification to compare with Emperor Gao, nothing more. ”

"In the past few years, the killing of Chen Jin and Hong Chengchou, even Fan Wencheng, who refused to escort him to Kunming, made it clear that he wanted to execute him with his own hands, and even the feat of two famous kings was better than Zhi Aiqing. With the recovery of Nanjing, he has actually completed half of it, and the rest is the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. As long as Jingshi and Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Liaodong are all recovered, and then the prestige will be unmatched for a while, even if I will be completely suppressed by him, then no one will be able to stop him from changing the dynasty. ”

Yongli said to this point, as a courtier, Li Dingguo is not only grateful, but also has a huge sense of crisis and urgency. Because Chen Wen's current strength is too strong, as long as he repairs for a year and a half and smooths things out in the territory, he can launch the Northern Expedition along Zhu Yuanzhang's old route.

At that time, with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a Tartar regime with only tens of thousands of dings, as long as it is compared with the tyrannical yuan of the year, the strange man in the world who holds Wang Baobao can only flee north in a hurry, and the outcome of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be unknown to himself.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister can only prepare as soon as possible, lead the army north out of Sichuan, and then march east from Shaanxi to recover the Beijing division before Chen Wen."

Li Dingguo was thorough at one point, Yongli was comforted in his heart, but he still had to face the actual situation at the moment: "Aiqing, Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi led troops to loot the warehouse in Kunming, it is reported that they are not idle all the way to the east, and Guizhou is in such a situation, the imperial court really can't take out the money and grain to besiege Baoning." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be delayed any longer, it's better to let Inspector Wen help solve one or two."

"I know, I know." Speaking of this, Yongli sighed sincerely: "It's just that there are also many difficulties in the Wen Inspector, and it is permissible for the generals to contain, harass, or do it, but if they are allowed to support the grain and grass, not to mention the good money, I am afraid that they may not be so rich." ”

It is not uncommon for the feudal towns to go their own way, and in their respective control areas, they are the emperors of the soil. In the Wanli and Tianqi dynasties, it may be a group of general soldiers and deputy generals, and the titles of county kings and dukes are exchanged for limited money and food, but I am afraid that the military leaders of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces may not be able to be happy.

"Aiqing, this matter is very important, and it is not in a hurry. Moreover, the king of Shu has a lot of knowledge about the geography and hydrology of Sichuan, and he has also proposed to me to run Sichuan before, so it is better to let the king of Shu take part of the army to enter the Sichuan Xingdu Division for the time being, and slowly plan it. It is still unclear how serious the situation in Guizhou will be, and there may be a turnaround. ”

Li Dingguo knew very well the truth that the army would disperse if there was no food, so he had to be patient, saying that he would rush back to Guizhou as soon as possible and urge the officials to find out what the actual situation in Guizhou was. After all, Guizhou used to be an area under the direct jurisdiction of Sun Kewang, the lord of the country, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were not very clear about the specific financial revenues, and with Chen Wen's toss, there was no way to estimate it.

Yongli sat in Kunming to take charge of the overall situation, Li Dingguo went to Guizhou to sit in the town, Liu Wenxiu began to operate southern Sichuan, the general division of labor was determined, Li Dingguo, who felt that time was not waiting, returned to the mansion, ready to discuss with Liu Wenxiu and then rested for a night and rushed back to Guiyang as quickly as possible.

However, before the negotiation between Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu ended, the angel of Yongli rushed over, saying that Yongli had an urgent matter to summon the two princes.

Li Dingguo commanded the army, Liu Wenxiu was in charge of Kunming's city defense, logically speaking, even if there was an emergency military situation, the two of them were the first to know, but it was Yongli who was the first to know. The two of them hurried to the palace, but what they saw was Yongli holding a letter in his hand, and he was walking around the hall excitedly.

Anxious, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu didn't dare to lose their manners, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but they were helped up by Yongli, and then handed the letter to the two to check. After a while, the three of them looked at each other, and their faces were full of happiness that the time had come.

"Heaven will not die, I am Ming, the turning point has finally arrived."

As he spoke, the three of them all turned their gaze to the north. And through the bricks and tiles of the main hall, the sky in the distance, the blood-colored remnant sun seemed to be soaked in blood.
