The recovery of Kunming is of great political significance, Zhu Yongxing's prestige has risen to a new level, and the momentum of Huangming Zhongxing will also be more obvious in the impression of the people.

Let Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, lead the army into Kunming first and give him this honor, which can be regarded as a small means of Zhu Yongxing. first, to fulfill Li Dingguo's wish and make up for his regret of retreating to Kunming; Second, there is also the intention of investigation to see if Li Dingguo still has reservations.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, like a summer rain hitting the plantain leaves, breaking the unbearable silence.

"It's coming, it's coming." The people on both sides of the road knelt down one after another, lit incense and candles, and the Ming soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order were also like facing a great enemy, and their vigilant eyes glanced around.

The imperial court stayed, the prince of the clan, such an identity, and the current prestige of Zhu Yongxing, moving to the provincial capital is a major matter no matter what. The people of Kunming greeted each other on the road, burned incense and prayed.

I saw a group of Rong armored soldiers holding flags coming quickly, passing through the city gate hole, first of two knights holding red flags, followed by four knights walking side by side, holding the clear flag. The knights had obviously been carefully selected, and all of them were tall, tiger-backed, and brightly armoured, and looked very imposing.

"Your Highness has a decree, go to Kunming alone, regardless of the old and young of the army and civilians, you can look up and talk about it in a whisper." Several knights slowed down and trotted forward in unison to the sound of clattering horses' hooves.

The noise rang out from the crowd of onlookers, and after a moment they all craned their necks and looked expectantly at the city gate.

After the flag passed, the accompanying sergeants held the flags, halberds, gourds, knots and other utensils as a guide, and slowly walked through, although the prince's honor guard was simplified, but it still made the people admire.

Under the protection of the two rows of guards, Zhu Yongxing wore a helmet and armor. Riding a tall horse appeared at the city gate, followed by Li Dingguo and other ministers.

After the instant excitement of the people, they all held their breath, opened their eyes wide, looked at Zhu Yongxing with a smile, and even waved to the people around them.

The people exchanged their heads and ears. The chatter is getting louder and louder, and the emotions are getting more and more excited.

"Your Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." Suddenly, a lonely shout erupted from the crowd.

The sudden shout was like a stone thrown into the pool, and the ripples of the water ripples spread quickly through the crowd.

"Your Highness, Chitose, Chitose. Chichitose. ”

"I wish His Highness good health and prosperity."

"Buddha bless Your Highness."

…………………

Because of the majesty of the prince's guard of honor, because of the estrangement and fear caused by the inherent hierarchical concept, because of this wave of fanatical shouts, at first it was the people, they laughed and cheered, and then even the Ming soldiers who maintained order trembled with excitement. Raise your arms and shout.

Zhu Yongxing waved his arms under the Huang Luo umbrella, and his nose was sour. Eyes moist, this is my subjects, this is the innocent and simple people. I didn't do anything for you, but I know what you want me to do for you.

That is, it is expedient to call the emperor's brother to report his life, and it is not necessary; If my division goes to the Yangtze River, go to Jinling. The tuba can be determined, who can take it! ”

"The king of meritorious people is not grinding. If our soldiers can recover Kunming, it will be half of ZTE's feet. If you can worship Zhengshuo in the south, then Zhengda. It's already famous. ”

"For thousands of years, justice still exists. Let His Royal Highness recover Kunming, and then there is half a country in the country, where the merit is, who should fight? ”

Yi Cheng and Zhang Weihan's words came to mind again, in their opinion, the recovery of Kunming had a great impact, but before the Zhengda, they had to worship Xiaoling first. This is to approach the Yangtze River, to Jinling, and to worship Zhengshuo in the south.

Holy son and god grandson, Zhu Yongxing knew that it was natural for him to do this in the feudal era, even if Yongli successfully handed over power. This is an indispensable measure to influence politics, flaunt orthodoxy, and win the hearts and minds of the people. For the time being, with the strength of the South China Sea Fleet, there is still a great hope of success if it enters the Yangtze River and worships Xiaoling. But everything has to be timed, and Zhu Yongxing is not in a hurry to do so.

had already dismounted and walked into the palace, and the tidal cheers seemed to be still ringing in Zhu Yongxing's ears, making him feel surging and difficult to calm down.

"Your Highness has traveled hard, so let's rest for a while, and then it's not too late to discuss it tomorrow." Li Dingguo has been following Zhu Yongxing's side, and stepped forward at this time to say.

"I'm not that delicate." Zhu Yongxing shook his head with a smile and said, "Other political affairs can be postponed, but military arrangements cannot be delayed. ”

With the Wu army that retreated into Guizhou, the strategy of the entire southwest must be adjusted, Li Dingguo wants to enter Sichuan, and he wants to send reinforcements to Guangxi to fight Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong with Ma Bao...... These things should be reported and arranged as soon as possible.

Because of Wu Sangui's voluntary retreat, the Ming army was not all concentrated in Kunming, but the main generals or representatives of various departments had arrived to participate in this important military meeting. The province of Yunnan has almost been completely recovered, which means that the first phase of the operation is over, and it is time for the second phase of the operation.

Li Dingguo, King of Jin, Bai Wenxuan, King of Zhao, Wu Zisheng, Duke of Chen, Ma Weixing, Duke of Xuguo, and Wang Sancai, the General Soldier, respectively represent the western Yunnan, eastern Yunnan, southern Yunnan, and Guangxi theaters.

Regarding the temporary non-aggression with Wu Sangui, everyone did not have much opinion, and even agreed very much, thinking that this was the rhythm of fighting for Wu Sangui anyway. Although Zhu Yongxing's thoughts were different, he did not express them immediately.

The two major theaters of western Yunnan and southern Yunnan were merged into the Yunnan Provincial Military Region, with Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan and Chen Guogong Wu Zisheng as the chief and deputy commanders-in-chief, and led the troops to be stationed on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, which was deployed in depth, not only to maintain pressure on Wu Sangui, but also to prevent his sudden launch.

The Sichuan Military Region was established, with Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, as the commander-in-chief, and led the army to enter Shu through Jianchang, and took advantage of the fact that the Qing army was not mobilized to expand Sichuan, and strive to unite with the thirteen families.

Ma Weixing, the Duke of Syria, led most of the troops and horses of the Eastern Yunnan Theater to enter Guangxi, and formed the Guangxi Military Region with Wang Ma Bao of Ruyang to launch a counteroffensive against the Qing army in Guangxi.

The army was expanded by 10,000 and two garrison corps were formed, led by Pingshuo Bohe Jiuyi and Mengjin Marquis Wei Yong, to strengthen the military strength of the border between Annam and Yunnan-Burma just in case.

Mekong Province expanded its army by 3,000 troops, established an overseas military region, continued to expand to the south, and built a new province named Ha Xian.

…………

The main topics of the meeting were determined, and the specific garrison areas, travel routes, troop deployment, and tactical strategies were the most time-consuming. Although the General Staff had already made plans, it either explained to the generals or listened to their suggestions until it was completely dark.

It is rare to get together again, and it coincides with such an exciting happy event as the recovery of Kunming, although Zhu Yongxing has always advocated frugality, but he can't help but celebrate and drink wine.

"This sweet potato wine-" Zhu Yongxing didn't like wine, but he could taste some good and bad wine, took a sip, shook his head with some regret, and said: "After a year or two, when the materials are abundant, the prohibition can also be released to a limited extent." Now, I've brought some wine from the French, and you can taste it. ”

"The desire to eat is a small matter, and Your Highness has worked hard to raise supplies to make this scene happen, so there is no need to be disturbed by it." Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan smiled and was relieved, and became interested in a few bottles of French wine.

"Yes, the soldiers and the people do not suffer from hunger, and this is the work of His Highness." Jin King Li Dingguo's eyes flickered, and he said tentatively: "Your Highness has strengthened the military strength of the Yunnan-Burma border, do you think that the Burmese are hostile?" ”

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Burmese are cunning, and they must be guarded against. For the time being, I was forced to make concessions, and sooner or later the Burmese would have to pay back the account. ”

"Your Highness, before the Qing army is completely defeated, you must be cautious in using troops on a large scale, especially against Burma!" Li Dingguo seems to be thinking about the overall situation, but there are other meanings implied in his words.

"It's nature." Zhu Yongxing accepted Li Dingguo's suggestion very simply, paused, and then spoke: "At the moment of the great enemy, we must unite sincerely and work together for recovery. After Jiashen, infighting is the cause of repeated defeats, I guess you agree with it, right? ”

"If it weren't for Sun Kewang's internal strife and rebellion, how could the situation in the southwest be out of control." Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan sighed, but also echoed Zhu Yongxing, and the corner of his eye quickly swept Li Dingguo.

Without waiting for Li Dingguo to speak, Zhu Yongxing had already quickly continued: "Infighting, infighting, first the swords and soldiers met each other, their own people were killed and bloodied, and then they were picked up by the enemy, there has never been an exception. Every time I think about it, I feel heartache and I can't control myself. What is the fight for, the name and righteousness on the lips, but where do you put this land of China and these thousands of Li people? ”

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, but Zhu Yongxing had already stood up, took the open French wine bottle, walked through the banquet one by one, and filled it for the generals. Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed in respect.

"It's time to rest." Zhu Yongxing walked to Li Dingguo's side, poured him a full wine glass, sighed, stood up straight, raised his voice and said, "The internal bleeding can be stopped!" I've said before that I will never raise a butcher's knife against my own people because of internal strife, and that's still the case. Come, everyone, believe in me, and are willing to work with me to work together to prosper the great cause and repeat China, please drink this cup! ”

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, exhaled a breath inaudibly, but Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, was stunned, opened his mouth, and swallowed his words back. This is too full of words, if Yongli is willing to give up power in the future, if he wants to get rid of His Royal Highness Min, shouldn't he be-for-tat? How cruel has the struggle for the throne been since ancient times, and how many of the losers have a good death?

Zhu Yongxing saw that everyone was bowing down and raising their glasses, with a happy smile on his face, and he drank the glass, and as soon as the whiskey entered his stomach, it was also very hot. It's just that the emotions in his heart are not as good as those in the stomach.
