Chapter Thirty-Six: The Surrender of the Chronicles

According to the road and communication conditions at that time, even though Zhu Yongxing was anxious, but when he thought about it calmly, he could not criticize Yi Cheng and the Zheng family. The remnants of the Ming army are scattered everywhere, separated by mountains, jungles, and rivers, which can be said to be a lot of barriers, even if you hear the news, and wait for it to be transmitted back with great difficulty, I am afraid it is not a task that can be completed in a short time. I am still not used to the current speed of information transmission, and I am always looking forward to it, so I am destined to be disappointed often.

However, this also sounded the alarm for Zhu Yongxing, and if he wants to command operations in the future, he must pay special attention to it, not to estimate time based on subjective speculation, and even less to play such high-level things as long-distance coordinated operations.

"Your Highness is tolerant, and your subordinates are ashamed." Of course, Yi Cheng hopes to send back valuable information as soon as possible, after all, this is an opportunity to prove the value of the Zheng family, but the conditions are limited, and he is helpless.

"Don't be ashamed, you didn't do anything wrong." Zhu Yongxing comforted him again and fell into thought.

In history, after Yongli abandoned the country and entered Burma, although many of the Southern Ming generals were disappointed, it was not the beginning of the surrender trend. Feng Shuangli, who was stationed in Jianchang, Sichuan, was held hostage and surrendered by the general Di Sanpin, which led to the complete collapse of the Ming army in Sichuan, and the trend of surrender began to spread in the southwest.

Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, was one of the early figures in the surrender of Yunnan Province, or it was he who surrendered first with Ma Weixing, Ma Bao, the Duke of Huaiguo, and Ma Zide, the son of Ma Jinzhong, the king of Hanyang, which directly led to a new wind of surrender in the southwest.

History only said that the Marquis of Guangchang Gao Wengui and the Marquis of Huairen Wu Zisheng joined forces to rescue the driver in Burma, but did not say when the two would meet and where they would join forces, Zhu Yongxing just waited on the road to Burma with his own judgment. Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui should be trustworthy, coupled with the army composed of young and strong people of the Mengshan Ke tribe, it is more certain to suppress Wu Zisheng.

But now that Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, has led the army here alone, Zhu Yongxing's troops in his hands are thin, and how can his preconceived ideas not make him feel suspicious. In this respect, knowing the history of the Tao can sometimes become a psychological burden, making people suspicious and hesitant. There was a time when the Ming Dynasty plundered Yang Wu and Sun Chongya and surrendered, and when the building was about to collapse and the people's hearts were scattered, Zhu Yongxing thought about it more, which is also human nature. After all, people's hearts are fickle and unpredictable.

"Your Highness, you can send someone to order the Marquis of Huairen's headquarters to stop advancing, temporarily stationed in Langzhang, and then order the Marquis of Huairenhou to lead the generals to come to pay respects." Although Yi Cheng didn't know what Zhu Yongxing was thinking specifically, he could vaguely see that Zhu Yongxing seemed to be defensive against Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, so he opened his mouth and put forward a safe suggestion.

This seemed to be a solution, Zhu Yongxing hesitated, and asked casually, "What is the situation of Huai Renhou's soldiers and horses?" ”

"After the battle of Mopanshan, the Marquis of Huairen was separated from King Li Jin and other troops, gathered the soldiers of the Ming army along the way, crossed the Nu River, and walked the Longling, the road was difficult, the grain and grass were not continued, and there were many wounded and sick of more than 3,000 soldiers." The people of Wu Zisheng, the Marquis of Huairen, were not far away, and the people of the Zheng family had already contacted them and rushed back to report, so Yi Cheng knew the situation in more detail.

Thousands of miles away, difficult trek, Huairenhou Wu Zisheng should not have the heart of Qing at this time, right? The future has not yet been pessimistic, and the determination to persevere should not be completely destroyed, who will be willing to join the enemy? Aren't you boasting that you want to be a light of hope in the darkness of despair, and don't you have the confidence to shine and relight a path of hope?

Ridiculous, ridiculous! I was about to go against the sky and pry the wheel of history, but now I have fallen into the quagmire of history, and I am suffering from gains and losses here.

Zhu Yongxing suddenly stopped walking back and forth, laughed self-deprecating and contemptible, and understood that historical facts should be the help of prying the wheel of history, and should be the wings to spread their wings and soar, and should not become a cautious psychological burden.

"The order is to raise troops, and I will lead a team to welcome the returning Ming soldiers from the trek." Zhu Yongxing straightened his waist and said loudly in an unquestionable tone.

Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down and agreed. In a short period of time, he found that Zhu Yongxing seemed to have understood something, and suddenly became confident and full of momentum.

………………

"The military spirit can be settled a little!" Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, received a message from Zhu Yongxing and was a little excited, and immediately ordered the army to camp and gather the generals to announce the news to stabilize the army's morale.

At this time, these more than 3,000 horses belonged to different groups, in addition to Wu Zisheng's headquarters generals, there were also Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan when the Guan troops were defeated and retreated, leaving behind the broken troops, led by the generals Zhang Guangcui and Chen Sheng.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Min enters Yunnan, and the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty will not fall, and the military will be tentative, which is really a fortunate thing." Zhang Guangcui first expressed his gratification, and then said: "It's just that we are subordinates of King Gongchang, and we were ordered to transfer to Mubang, so I don't know how to deal with ourselves?" ”

"His Royal Highness was ordered to stay in Yunnan and temporarily assume the right to supervise the country, and he should be respected by His Highness." Chen Sheng's utilitarian heart is a little heavier, and he feels that Zhu Yongxing's legs are thicker than Bai Wenxuan's, and he will not suffer a loss if he hugs him.

Wu Zisheng's department turned Chen Yi's dazzling eyes, and said tentatively: "The emperor ordered His Royal Highness Min Shizi to enter Yunnan, and granted great power, probably because he wanted to be able to ...... in Burma."

"Be careful." Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, interrupted Chen Yiyao's speculation awe-inspiringly and said, "The emperor's move must be reasonable, how can you speculate indiscriminately? Your Highness is coming tomorrow, our army should be arranged, and all the generals will come out to greet you. ”

Zhang Guangyao smiled bitterly, at this time, the big tent was not built, and he could see the soldiers in the army when he raised his eyes. In fact, many people can hardly be called soldiers: they are all ragged and covered in dirt, and they have long been unable to see the color of their original military uniforms, as if they have been pulled out of a pit of sludge. Some of the soldiers had wrinkled faces, jungle sores on their faces, and yellow water dripping down their faces. Although the wounded soldiers are not in sight, they are also aware of the tragic situation they see on weekdays.

"It's inevitable that the army will be untidy after a long journey." Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, sighed softly and said, "I can only tidy up a little, so as not to be too embarrassed." ”

"His Royal Highness Min Shizi has always been unrenowned, we are not familiar with it, and we don't know its temperament, whether it is a little hasty to sort it out a little, so that His Highness suspects that we despise him." Chen Sheng obviously wanted to leave a good impression on Zhu Yongxing, and had some objections to what Wu Zisheng said.

"The conditions are limited, and this is the only way." Huairenhou Wu Zisheng was displeased, but Chen Sheng was not his own general, and it was not easy to reprimand him repeatedly, so he had to say euphemistically: "When we greet each other tomorrow, there is no shortage of etiquette regulations, and it is difficult to trek here, Your Highness should know that we are loyal and will not judge people by appearance." ”

At this point, all the generals had objections and had nothing to say, so they all obeyed the orders and went to make arrangements. Among them, Chen Sheng is the most active in urging, so naturally there is no need to elaborate.
