There is a big war in the front, if the rear is really chaotic and the military supply is not available, it will be a dead end, Gu Zhenhua will not be stupid, long before the start of the Zhongzhou Forum, the Anguo Army set up a wartime command.

The presidential commander is naturally Gu Zhenhua, the chief committee member is the old father-in-law Zhang Jinyan, and the committee members include Li Jibo, Xia Shouli, Xu Fang, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Qianfu and others.

The establishment of this headquarters is actually no different from the cabinet designed by Gu Zhenhua, unlike the previous cabinet dominated by Hanlin ministers who are familiar with the rules and regulations, most of the cabinets used by Gu Zhenhua are local officials. They are experienced, decisive and executive.

Of course, they are all capable people, and competition with each other is inevitable, but Gu Zhenhua has also set strict rules, each in charge of their own affairs, such as Li Jibo in charge of military mobilization and war planning, Xia Shouli in charge of military quartermasters, Xu Fang in charge of civil affairs, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Qianfu in charge of money and food intelligence, and Zhang Jinyan in charge of the overall situation.

Every time they have a meeting and every decision, they must have a special person record and report to Gu Zhenhua. To employ people, but also to control people, so that everyone can fully display their talents, and at the same time firmly control the people. It relies on strict laws and regulations, and clear rights and responsibilities.

With a strong administrative team, Gu Zhenhua will not worry about what Zhu Cihong, Fan Keqin and others can do.

He Tengjiao knew this very well, and he sighed: "Master Fan, when I played the right game to His Majesty, His Majesty was excited, and he also said something that existed outside his body, and then his body came first!" ”

"Ahh Zhu Tianlin seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he stared at He Tengjiao. Surprised, he asked, "He Butang, what you said is true?" ”

"Hey, that's a big deal. How dare I lie! ”

Zhu Tianlin suddenly burst into tears and cried: "It's all the incompetence of the ministers, so that Your Majesty has been wronged!" ”

Fan Keqin sneered: "Everyone, Your Majesty wants to take a step back, but it is just that the power is restricted, but the throne is still there." Fan said something unkind, except for Taizu and Taizong. There is no emperor who can act spontaneously, by his heart! ”

Fan Keqin directly pointed out Zhu Cihong's thoughts, which can be described as a burst of blood. However, it is obviously a bit too much to evaluate the monarch's father in this way, and it is almost the same as Huang Zongxi, He Tengjiao and the others all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Fan Keqin was not afraid. Continue to say to yourself: "Think about it, everyone. Gu Zhenhua is not just restricting imperial power. In the future, the imperial examination will be changed, and officials at all levels will be selected from among the small officials. We are all born in the imperial examination on the right path, and after ten years of hard study, we can't be officials! All dynasties and dynasties have treated scholars well, and those who are promoted in the examination can be exempted from Tian Fu. The imperial court only managed the county, and below was the administration of the squire. This is a rule for thousands of years, and there is no room for the slightest change, and I am a disciple of Confucius and Mencius. With a great name in the world, he should fight hard. Don't be a coward. ”

said impassioned, in fact, it can't change a core, that is, the privileges of the gentry, they bite to death and are unwilling to let go.

Yu Suiran pondered for a while, and said: "Lord Fan's words are reasonable, how can the world be called the world, that is, there is a son of heaven and a gentry below, and we will uphold the way of Confucius and Mencius and govern the country." If the son is not here today, the gentry will be suppressed. A group of businessmen who forget their righteousness, and a group of martial artists actually want to steal the power of the world, what is the difference between this and barbarians! ”

"Hahahaha, what you said is still too polite, Gu Zhenhua's madness is far more than that of Tartar!"

As soon as Fan Keqin said this, all the people present turned pale, no matter how ruthless they were to Gu Zhenhua, they didn't dare to deny the military exploits of the Anguo Army, could they still abandon Yixia's distinction!

Ahem, ahem!

Zhu Tianlin coughed twice and said, "Master Fan, be cautious!" ”

"We are just too honest, we were bullied by Gu Zhenhua, a thief! After the Tartar Emperor entered the customs, he worshiped the heavens and ancestors, respected Confucius and Mencius, practiced benevolent government, opened the imperial examination, used Han officials, and valued the gentry. Although he is a barbarian, what he does is the right way to the king. And Gu Zhenhua, emphasizing martial arts over literature, brutalizing the gentry, snatching land, abolishing Confucius and Meng, Xingyang Zhu, the world has become a pot of porridge, although he is a Han Chinese, he is mad, compared to Yidi, it is still excessive! ”

"Shut up!"

Fan Keqin was about to continue, and someone finally stood up at the back of the seat, this person was of medium stature, with a thin face, and his eyes were like electricity, it was the Qing Qu Shiyun of Dali Temple!

"Master Fan, Gu Zhenhua oppressed the saint and was arrogant, these old men all admitted it and hated it. But what do you mean when you say that he is not as good as the Tartars, and that the Tartars are doing the royal way? Can we be traitors and surrender to the Tartars? ”

Fan Keqin, as the leader of the clear stream, has always scolded others, where did he suffer this humiliation, he was suddenly so angry that his face was blue and blue.

"Hmph, to Jun Yaoshun, the way of heaven is constant, who can follow the will of heaven in order to rule the world, Gu Zhenhua acted wantonly, shouldn't he be punished by God?"

Qu Shiyun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so much that tears came out.

Suddenly, he suddenly pointed at Fan Keqin and said sharply: "The surname Fan, don't forget, when today's surname is Zhu, this is still the country of the Ming Dynasty!" You actually said that the Tartars are doing the king's way, and they obey the heavens and people, and I think it is according to your thoughts, and whoever can give you an official to do and who can exempt you from paying taxes, you will be a courtier to whom! Talking about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness is nothing but deception! ”

A few words, mercilessly pierced Fan Keqin's face, and also exposed the old bottom of the entire Qingliu! The officials present were all stunned, they were dumbfounded, and they couldn't say a word!

"Hahaha, hahaha, listening to Master Fan's high arguments, the old man felt that what Gu Zhenhua did was not wrong! If cynicism is not removed, the world will be restless! ”

Qu Shiyun turned around and left after speaking, seeing through the ugliness under the splendid packaging, it was disgusting compared to anything else, and he couldn't stay for a moment!

Speaking of Lao Qu, he is absolutely loyal to Daming, and he does not approve of Gu Zhenhua's measures. But they still know the priorities, and they can't forget the fundamentals of being a human being because of the struggle, so they go to say good things for the Tartars, is this still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty?

But a clear leader can say such a thing. It's really unacceptable, Qu Shiyun pulled out his legs and left.

He Tengjiao ran in front of Qu Shiyun in a few steps and grabbed his hand. said: "Lord Qu, Lord Fan was angry for a while, and said something that went too far, who doesn't know that he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he speak for the Tartars, every qiē is a misunderstanding!" ”

"Brother He, what blurts out is often the truth. Qu is a literati who does not dare to say that he has a noble character, but he can't always be in the same stream. I went back to the book immediately, and since then I have been studying behind closed doors, and I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the court! Take care and take your leave! ”

Qu Shiyun turned around and left. Leaving everyone stunned. Zhu Tianlin suddenly stood up as well.

"Master Fan, what Gu Zhenhua did is indeed inappropriate, and the official still has to admonish him, but now that the battle situation is at hand, the recovery is imminent, so it is better to slow down!"

"Slow, slow!" Fan Keqin was furious. At this time, they all spilled out, and said loudly: "If you let Gu Zhenhua go back to the capital." The power is monstrous, how can we deal with it, do we want to be killed? ”

Zhu Tianlin knew very well in his heart that the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the people, all hoped to drive away the Tartars, which was the greatest wish of the people of the Ming Dynasty. If you continue to make trouble, you will only bring humiliation on yourself.

"Brother Fan is right, I'm leaving!"

As soon as Zhu Tianlin left, most of the officials present got up, they were all frightened by the word Tartar, if they were really stained, they were afraid that without Gu Zhenhua's hands, the people would be able to tear them apart.

Seeing many officials leaving, He Tengjiao stomped his feet fiercely, glanced at Fan Keqin regretfully, sighed, turned around and left.

In the end, only Yu Suiran and Fan Keqin were left, and they looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions.

"It's all a bunch of hypocrites, they're just afraid of Gu Zhenhua's power!"

Yu Suiran nodded and said, "What the lord said is right, the humble position is willing to follow the lord to the death." ”

"Okay, the old man, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, should swear to the death for the Ming Dynasty, you come with me!"

Fan Keqin took Yu Suiran to the back room, and a conspiracy gradually brewed.

……

Handan, East Gate.

From the beginning of the battle, the Tartars were endlessly attacking, and two full days had passed. For most soldiers, I am afraid that these two days of fighting have never been seen, and even those veterans have to admit that compared with the battle of northern Henan, this time it was more ferocious and the price paid was greater.

Since the beginning of the shelling, the Tartars have not stopped offensive, even if the Westerners such as Sherford were killed and the artillery power was greatly reduced, but the Tartars still did not relax, and even became more ferocious.

The never-ending crowds and non-stop battles exhausted the soldiers at the head of the city to the extreme.

Some of them had not rested since the beginning of the battle, had not eaten, and had been struggling for two days, until at last the attack of the Tartars weakened slightly, and the people of the city ran to the top of the city carrying baskets of steamed buns.

The soldiers also ignored washing their hands, grabbed the fluffy white flour steamed buns, and ate them in large gulps.

Some people have chapped throats, can't secrete saliva, choke on steamed buns, can't go up or down, and roll their eyes.

"Let's drink some porridge!"

Li Dingguo sent a bowl of mung bean porridge to a young soldier, and he took it gratefully, leaning his neck and pouring it violently.

"It's delicious, it's as delicious as my mother!"

Li Dingguo patted him on the shoulder, went to look at the other soldiers, and turned around from the city to Kang Lesheng.

"Brigadier Kang, what do you think?"

Kang Lesheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Chief of Staff, I don't think the situation is good, the number of Tartars is far more than we expected, and the proportion of their guns is not low. And I heard that the main force of the prince is also delayed in the Daimyo's Mansion, and I am afraid that he will have to fight against the Tartars alone for three or five days! ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "That's right, I just came back from the military hospital, and it was already full, and I had to occupy hundreds of civilian houses." In two days, we had more than 2,000 dead and wounded, which is really not optimistic. ”

Rumble!

A cannonball suddenly fell on the city, Li Dingguo and Kang Lesheng were startled, they hurriedly looked up, the cannonball happened to fall near the city tower, Li Dingguo clearly remembered that it was there just now, and gave the soldier a bowl of mung bean porridge, but the young soldier had disappeared!

"Damned Tartars, brethren, meet the enemy!"

The cannon roared, and the soldiers, who had just eaten a little, quickly plunged into the battle again. Kang Lesheng and Li Dingguo went up to the city wall separately and looked down.

One glance lifted their hearts. This time there were more Tartars than ever before, and as far as the eye could see, there were Tartars everywhere, boundless, like a huge ant colony.

There is no doubt that Dolgon has fought hard, he has transferred 50,000 Mongolian soldiers to participate in the battle, these people are the cannon fodder in his hands, and he will rely on the advantage of numbers to completely drown Handan!

Come on! Kill!

The shouts were endless, and the Anguo army desperately fired deadly bullets at them, but even if one was killed, two and three would soon make up for it.

Boom, the sound of thunder rang out, and several soldiers screamed in pain and fell on the city wall, their chests were covered with blood, and they couldn't survive the injuries.

"What's wrong?" Kang Lesheng asked angrily.

"Report, report to the regiment commander, the artillery is too hot, and the bore is blown up!"

"Hey!" Kang Lesheng smashed into the bricks of the city wall in a circle. "Rice buckets, they are all rice buckets, the cannon is for you to kill the enemy, not your own people, your brains are clear!"

After all, there is a limit to weapons, and they can't come nonsense, and Kang Lesheng has no choice, the cannons in the city have to stop temporarily, and without the suppression of the cannons, the Tartars are forcing to the city faster and faster. If you have a dense phobia, you are afraid that you will faint just by looking at it, there are too many tartars.

"Brigadier Kang, I have a way to kill the enemy!" Li Dingguo suddenly shouted excitedly: "No matter how many Tartars there are, there will be no return!" (To be continued......)
