Zhu Youcheng looked at the built inner city wall, and was extremely proud: it only took four days and four nights to build a small Great Wall to protect the people in the city, and he was really the first architect in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, Qin Ke, the chief architect of Jingxi Huangzhuang, was not here, otherwise with Qin Ke's vicious eyesight, he would definitely find many deficiencies on the inner city wall, and Zhu Youcheng would be worthless. However, since Qin Ke is not here, let Zhu Youcheng be proud for a while.

King Xin said: "Brother Cheng, what should we do next?" Are you waiting? ”

"Don't wait," Zhu Youcheng looked up at the increasingly fierce battle on the city wall, and said, "Daming's blood can't be shed too much." If the defenders of Guiyang City are exhausted, once we leave Guizhou, there will not be enough force to deter the Yiren, and they may make some trouble. ”

&nb*;Zhu Youcheng turned around and said loudly: "Pass my order to distribute all the guns and bullets in the arsenal to dry." ”

In fact, as early as two days ago, all the guns and bullets were dried. Chen Guoqi led people to try them one by one, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, sparks splashed in the back of the firebolt, the ignition device had been completely restored to normal, and the bottom of the bullet was also very dry. It's just that because the cost of bullets is too high, and the sound of bullets is afraid of disturbing the people, there is no live ammunition shooting.

As soon as Jin Yiwei heard this order, the excitement in his heart was not to mention—after four days as a mason, he finally returned to his profession.

However, Zhu Youcheng's next sentence made the Jinyi guards feel a lot lower: "All the soldiers stick to the inner city wall, and no one is allowed to leave the city wall to fight without my order." ”

After the order was issued, Zhu Youcheng took nearly a hundred guards and prepared to climb the city tower to bring Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong back. The city is fully prepared for battle. He decided to forcibly take the two of them away - if they dared to stumble again, they would simply knock them out and carry them down.

As soon as I climbed out of the city wall, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Cheng, pick me up." ”

It turned out that King Shin was very consciously following behind. Zhu Youcheng sweated profusely, why did he forget the little heel of King Xin? However, he knew that he would not be persuaded to believe in the king at this time. Although it is a bit dangerous on the castle tower now. But after all, the Ming army is still guarding it, as long as you pay attention to the cold arrows, with the skills of the brocade guard, it is not difficult to protect the thoughtfulness of King Xin.

Zhu Youcheng turned around and supported King Xin and carried him off the city wall. The city wall is not high, and with King Xin's training in Jingxi Huangzhuang, this city wall cannot stop him at all. However, there is someone to rely on, and King Xin can't help but be lazy - this is also a common problem of people.

The group went straight to the tower.

Fu Zonglong was overjoyed. asked, "Has Jin Yiwei finally decided to make a move?" ”

Zhu Youcheng said: "The inner city wall has been built, which can ensure the safety of the people in the city." Master Fu's task has been completed, please go into the inner city to rest, and leave some veteran seeds for Guiyang. ”

Fu Zonglong was furious and said: "This official is favored by the emperor, and he should bow and do his ......best."

Zhu Youcheng didn't talk to him either, and motioned with his eyes to do it. The captain of the guard stepped forward and used his palm as a sword. slashed Fu Zonglong's neck, and Fu Zonglong immediately fainted to the ground. Two guards stepped forward. lifted Fu Zonglong up.

Cai Fuyi was next to him, and when he saw Zhu Youcheng suddenly hurt someone, he shouted: "The surname is Zhu, you dare to ......"

Another guard stepped forward and did the same, knocking Cai Fuyi unconscious.

Zhu Youcheng grinned. "I really dare." ”

Fu Zonglong and Cai Fuyi naturally did not defend the city alone, they all had guards with strong martial arts around them, but none of the guards stepped forward. The guards didn't necessarily know Zhu Youcheng, but they all knew King Xin, and when they saw King Xin leading people up the city wall, they put the two adults down. Knowing that the conflict between these people belongs to the fight of the gods, it is better for these mortals to participate less, otherwise it will not be good if the city gate is on fire and the pond fish will be affected.

Zhu Youcheng asked, "Except for Master Fu and Lord Cai, who are the highest-ranking officials here?" ”

One of Cai Fuyi's guards replied, "Your Excellency, it's Prime Minister Lu Qin. ”

Naturally, this premier is not the premier of the State Council in later generations, but the abbreviation of the military affairs of the premiers Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang.

"Call him, this official has something important to hand over to him."

After a while, a tall, rough-looking man walked over.

When he saw the presence of King Xin, he sang a fat promise and said, "The last general, Lu Qin, has seen King Xin, and he has no armor on his body, so he can't give full salutes." ”

When Zhu Youcheng saw this famous general in the southwest, he was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "General Lu, this is polite." I am Zhu Youcheng, the director of the Daming Military Academy, and like you, I am a military general of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Ming Dynasty respects the text, Zhu Youcheng mentions his own military position, but does not mention his own civil service, and the meaning of wooing in the words is self-evident. Zhu Youcheng has two military positions, one is the commander of Jinyiwei, and the other is the secretary of the Daming Military Academy. Jin Yiwei's martial arts position is too shady, and it is not beautiful to mention it, so he emphasized his position as the director of the Daming Military Academy.

Who knew that Lu Qin didn't appreciate it, and asked flatly: "I don't know if the two adults have any important things to come, if there is no big event, just gossip, Shu Mo will not be able to accompany him." ”

Suddenly, he found Fu Zonglong and Cai Fuyi, who were being carried by Jinyiwei, and was furious, pointed at Zhu Youcheng with his finger, and said loudly: "Lord Zhu, now that the rebels are attacking the city, it is the autumn of critical survival. Sue you, if the rebels break the city, it doesn't matter if you are a brocade guard or not, you will still be stabbed. ”

Zhu Youcheng was unhappy in his heart, as a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty and the future head of the cabinet, he handed it over, but Lu Qin didn't appreciate it, but instead pointed his nose and accused himself of doing something.

He took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms and said, "I came to Guizhou to quell the rebellion by holy order, and officials below the fifth rank will be cut first and then played." Don't say that I just knocked them out, even if I cut them down, no one would dare to say anything. ”

"Hmph, Lord Zhu is so powerful. This official is the chief military officer of the second grade, and Lord Zhu is also beheaded. ”

Although Lu Qin is now the prime minister of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang military affairs, but this is an official position temporarily set up due to the rebellion of Lu'an, there is something to manage, but there is no grade and no rank, and his actual official position is still the chief military officer of Baoding.

Zhu Youcheng sneered and said: "There is another sentence behind the holy decree, officials big and small obey Zhu Youcheng's orders, if they disobey, Zhu Qing can do it cheaply." Don't you dare to kill you? ”

Seeing that the words of the two were becoming more and more intense, King Xin coughed and said, "Lord Zhu, General Lu, the two of you will stop the wrath of thunder." It is not inappropriate to restrain Fu Zonglong and Cai Fuyi to be alone, and Zhu Youcheng is just acting on my order (note: Ming system, the will of the prince and the prince is the decree), and there is nothing wrong with it. These two refused to leave the wall, and I was afraid that they would be hurt by the enemy, so I stunned them and prepared to take them away from the wall, which was purely a matter of love, not to punish them. ”

Lu Qin's face was happy, he bowed to Zhu Youcheng deeply, and said, "In this way, the last general is reckless, and I will make a compensatory to Lord Zhu here." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that although Lu Qin was old, he was sincere, and he was going to die early, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, don't dare." General Lu is brave and loyal, and he is willing to throw his head and shed his blood for the Ming Dynasty, which is an example for our younger generations. ”

Master Zhu praised it falsely. However, this time the rebels seem to have gone crazy, and our army tried their best to resist, but after all, they were outnumbered, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. I am a general, the so-called general will inevitably die in battle, and the horse leather shroud is the glory of a soldier. However, King Xin and Lord Zhu are the pillars of the Great Ming Pillar, and they are even more ......" Zhu Youcheng spoke sincerely, and Lu Qin was embarrassed to say too harshly, "It is a meat ticket in the eyes of the rebels." Therefore, the last general wants to ask the two to break through and not fall into the hands of the rebels, otherwise not only will the face of the Ming be disgraced, but also a huge price will have to be paid to redeem the two. ”

Zhu Youcheng's eyes lit up, he was worried about how to persuade Lu Qin to retreat into the city, and now Lu Qin was a little discouraged, it was a good time to persuade him.

"The official came up to defend the city. According to what you say, Guiyang City can't be defended? ”

"Not bad. Although An Bangyan gathered a rabble and his command was chaotic, he was very strong and could draw with the Ming soldiers one-on-one. What's even worse is that they are huge, the so-called swarm of ants devouring elephants, there are too many ants, even elephants are afraid, not to mention heavily armed rebels? ”

"General Lu, look at the ...... over there" Zhu Youcheng pointed to the inner city and said, "That is the inner city wall built by this official in the past few days......

Before Zhu Youcheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Qin: "No, no." The walls of Guiyang City are so high that they have been broken through by the rebels; How long can the short and dilapidated walls of the inner city hold back the rebels? (To be continued......)
