When Pang Yue was still on the road, the first year of Longwu had passed quietly, and the time had entered the first month of the second year of Longwu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't expect that the first big year after coming to Nanming was actually on the road, and on this festival, Pang Yue also missed more and more his family members who had been separated from his time and space.

But no matter what, the year still has to pass. On the night of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Pang Yue bought a large amount of wine and food with his own money, and invited his subordinates to eat at the inn on the road. This time, in addition to his personal army, there were also a hundred cavalry sent by Shi Youliang to protect his safety at any time. In the face of Pang Yue's generosity, the group ate very happily and had a good New Year.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Pang Yue and his entourage finally arrived at Yanping Mansion.

Yanping Mansion, the imperial study of Emperor Longwu

After Pang Yue saw Emperor Longwu, he knelt down respectfully and saluted, "Weichen Pang Yue, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Pang Aiqing, please get up!" Emperor Longwu got up and left his seat, personally stepped forward to help Pang Yue, and said with a smile, "You and I haven't seen each other for several months. Listen to Lord Zhu said, during this period, you have run Ganzhou Town very well! Hehe, yes, I really didn't mistake you! ”

Pang Yue raised his head and found that Emperor Longwu had lost a little weight compared to a few months ago, and it could be seen that he was probably not doing well in Fuzhou during this time. With Jiannu eyeing him outside, King Lu standing on his own, and a local warlord like Zheng Zhilong arrogant in his previous life, in the face of such a dangerous environment, I am afraid that any self-motivated emperor will not feel relaxed. In his previous life, Pang Yue learned many times from historical materials that Emperor Longwu tried to forge ahead and worked hard for the state at all times, and after crossing into this era, he witnessed Emperor Longwu's words and deeds, and was even more moved by his persistent belief.

If you are like this, what more can you ask for? Pang Yue made up such a sentence in his heart.

"Weichen doesn't dare to be His Majesty so famous! Weichen received His Majesty's kindness, but he just did his duty! Pang Yue said sincerely.

"Sit down!" Emperor Longwu also seemed to have become accustomed to Pang Yue's modesty, and greeted with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two monarchs and ministers sat down, Pang Yue first expressed his New Year's blessings to Emperor Longwu, and Emperor Longwu also greeted Pang Yue with a warm greeting, and after the politeness was completed, he entered the main topic.

"Pang Aiqing, do you know what my purpose is in summoning you this time?" Emperor Longwu asked.

Pang Yue has a prediction that is hundreds of years beyond Emperor Longwu, and last time he got some hints from Zhu Dadian, how could he not know Emperor Longwu's plans? But as a courtier, it is always taboo to directly point out what the king thinks, no matter how tolerant and generous the king is. Thinking of this, Pang Yue just shook his head: "Forgive Weichen for being dull, it's really difficult to know the holy will. ”

Hearing Pang Yue say this, Emperor Longwu showed a faint hint of approval in his gods, and said, "Then I will say it directly." The governor of Jiangxi, Wan Yuanji, and others had repeatedly played in me, saying that Fujing was located on the coastal border of Fujian Province, and it was difficult to take care of the interior, so he asked me to leave Fujing and move to other places to take charge of the affairs of the provinces. As for the location, some people put forward southern Gansu, and some people proposed Huguang, Guangdong, etc., and there are different opinions. One of the reasons why I have summoned you here this time is because I consider that they are all civil ministers, and it is inevitable that I will be biased in considering the problem, so I would like to hear your opinion as a military general. In addition, according to the various information coming back from the front, I am afraid that the Eastern Prisoners will soon make a big move south, and I would like to hear your thoughts on how to deal with it at that time. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust in Weichen!" Pang Yue said gratefully, no matter what, this is Emperor Longwu's trust in him.

"Whatever comes to mind, just say it." Emperor Longwu said gently, "I will not blame you for my verbal faults. ”…,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After sorting out his thoughts a little, Pang Yue put what he thought in his heart one by one, "In the humble opinion of Weichen, if Your Majesty wants to revive the Ming Dynasty and restore the rivers and mountains, it is indeed not the best policy to stick to Fujing. Although Fujing has no worries about swords and soldiers at present, after all, it is located on the coastal border, and it is beyond the reach of the inland provinces, and it is inconvenient to command and coordinate the soldiers and horses of various localities to resist the Qing Dynasty. In this way, it will be difficult for the loyal ministers and righteous people from all over the Ming Dynasty to integrate, and it is really unfavorable to fight against the great cause of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the matter of His Majesty's move, what Wan Yuan Ji and other adults think is also what Wei Chen thinks. ”

Emperor Longwu nodded and motioned for Pang Yue to continue.

"As for where Your Majesty should go, Weichen thinks that Guangdong is not advisable." Pang Yue continued, "Guangdong is also on the border of the coast, almost the same as Fujian Province. If Your Majesty moves here, what is the difference between staying in Fukyo? As for Gannan, although this place is a hub connecting the provinces and the roads extend in all directions, Weichen thinks that it is not suitable for His Majesty to stay here for a long time. Weichen has been in Ganzhou for several months, and he also knows a thing or two about the surrounding situation. At present, almost the entire northern part of Jiangxi is occupied by the Qing captives Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren's troops, and not long ago, according to the report of the front spies, there are still some Qing reinforcements heading towards Jiangxi, and it seems that they want to join forces with Jin and Wang to seize southern Jiangnan. It is estimated that in the near future, there will be a war in southern Gansu, and His Majesty really should not risk his life. What's more, even if our army can repel the Qing captives, Gannan should not become His Majesty's line, the road here is accessible, once it is attacked by Jiannu in many ways, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Well, what Pang Aiqing said is not unreasonable." Emperor Longwu smiled and said, "Then where does Pang Aiqing think I should go?" ”

Pang Yue said: "Your Majesty is serious, Weichen can only put forward some suggestions on this matter, and where to go has to be decided by His Majesty himself." Weichen thinks that with the current situation, Huguang is the most suitable. ”

"Oh? Why? Emperor Longwu asked.

"Your Majesty. Huguang is connected to Liangguang in the south, Jiangxi in the east, Sichuan and Guizhou in the west, and can go straight to the Central Plains in the north, and the advantages of the terrain are far better than those in southern Jiangxi. His Majesty's move here is extremely convenient for the control of the affairs of the provinces. In addition, Huguang is close to Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, and the maneuver space is huge, and there is a Bashu natural danger to rely on. ”

After listening to Pang Yue, Emperor Longwu nodded after thinking for a while: "I already know what Pang Aiqing means, and I will think about it." In addition, Dongyu is about to move, and has the intention of going south again, Pang Aiqing must have known about this matter, right? In Pang Aiqing's opinion, when the time comes, how should our dynasty respond? Pang Aiqing is a military general, and he must be more thoughtful than Wenchen in this kind of matter. ”

Pang Yue thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, as early as in Hangzhou, Shiweichen has already said that although Jiannu is menacing, it also has its own flaws. The slave chieftain Dolgon and others did not enter the customs for a long time, and the center of gravity of their rule was still in the north, and if they sent troops to the south, they would be burdened by grain and grass, not to mention that Manchuria and Jiannu mostly grew in the bitter cold land outside the pass, and they may not be able to adapt to the humid and hot climate in the south, and it is impossible to stay in the south and continue to fight. As in the previous year, after a period of fighting, they would retreat to the north to recuperate, and in most cases they would have to rely on the newly annexed traitor army. In this way, as long as our army relies on the advantages of the terrain to deal more with the enemy, it is like the allusion of Ku Ding to solve the ox, first avoid the enemy's edge, and then seize the opportunity to deal a fierce blow to its weak points, and constantly accumulate small victories into big victories. The situation will eventually develop in favor of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, after Jiannu entered the customs, he wantonly destroyed my Chinese etiquette, which has already caused public resentment, and it can be said that more than half of the hearts of the people in the world belong to the Ming Dynasty, as long as His Majesty uses it properly, what is Jiannu afraid of? ”

After listening to Pang Yue's words, the light of hope gradually appeared in Emperor Longwu's eyes, and his praise for Pang Yue also increased a little. It is not without ministers in the DPRK and China who dare to speak out for war, but most of them talk in general terms and have empty slogans, but very few people can analyze in such a nuanced way as Pang Yue and can implement everything. …,

"Pang Aiqing's insight is so deep and his vision is far away, even I have to be impressed! With a loyal minister like Pang Aiqing, why should the Ming Dynasty not have a day of revival! Emperor Longwu let out a sigh of emotion from his heart.

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

After staying in Yanping for two days, Pang Yue had many discussions with Emperor Longwu, and put forward many suggestions and some plans of his own, which made the big stone in Emperor Longwu's heart fall to the ground. After that, Pang Yue met with Zhu Dadian again. When he learned that Zhu Dadian had issued an early warning notice to Du Yinxi and He Tengjiao to guard against the Jiannu Lekede Hun Department a month ago, Pang Yue was also a little relieved. Because not long ago, Du Yinxi had already led the loyal battalion to start the battle of Jingzhou. He didn't know how much this early warning notice would help him, but that was the only way he could do it at the moment.

Two days later, in the ardent hopes of Emperor Longwu and Zhu Dadian and other ministers, Pang Yue embarked on the journey home, after all, he was the chief soldier of a town, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in Ganzhou Town.

Before leaving, he received several unexpected gifts from Emperor Longwu: the rank of captain of the light car, the title of general of Zhenguo, and the reward of five thousand taels of silver allocated to him personally. In the face of Emperor Longwu's reward, Pang Yue was naturally grateful, and at the same time accelerated the pace of returning to Ganzhou, because the situation that could deteriorate at any time no longer allowed him to have any delay.

Ten days later, Pang Yue returned to Ganzhou. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the Yamen of the General Army, he learned that Liu Bing'er and his entourage had left Ganzhou three days ago, and only left him a message: There is something at home, and there will be a period later.

Faced with this situation, Pang Yue's heart suddenly surged with a sense of loss, and the words he had prepared lost the person to confide in. He didn't know what happened to Liu Bing'er's family so that she didn't wait for her to come back, in short, Yiren's farewell was like a scratch in his heart, leaving him with endless regrets, mixed with a trace of sourness. What's more, it's an eventful time, and I don't know when I'll be able to meet him again.
