Since Lian Xiang's family came to accompany Li Yuntian, it was already midnight when Li Yuntian finished supper.

Lian Xiang stood at the door, looking at Li Yuntian who disappeared into the night on a horse stupidly, her eyes were full of gloom, her second sister-in-law noticed this scene keenly, and her face couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

At the beginning of June, Li Yuntian finally went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to participate in a meeting of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to discuss the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's going to the major ministries and courts in the capital, and to consult the case files of the major yamen.

Although Li Yuntian is also the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, since the establishment of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, he has only come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate a handful of times.

Speaking of which, before Li Yuntian was admitted to the Hanlin Academy and became a Hanlin attendant, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had always been his civil official position, and it was also the only civil official position.

As for Shu Jishi, it is just an honorary title, and there is no rank, and it is not an official position in the Ming officialdom.

Since becoming a Hanlin attendant, Li Yuntian once wanted to resign from his position as the imperial historian, after all, the Hanlin attendant and the supervision of the imperial history are the two most important official positions in the Ming officialdom, but Emperor Xuande did not have the permission.

Although the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy are both speech officials, the imperial history is in charge of supervising the hundred officials, and the Hanlin is the close attendant of the emperor, and the responsibilities of the two sides are different.

Emperor Xuande not only hoped that Li Yuntian could give him advice as a close attendant, but also hoped to use Li Yuntian to supervise civil and military officials, so he let him hold two positions.

This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate brushed the scrolls in the yamen of the major ministries and institutes in Beijing, and Li Yuntian still did not participate in the lecture because he was busy with official duties in the martial arts hall, as he did last year.

However, unlike last year, Jiangwutang will also be included in the target of the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time, after all, both Jiangwutang and Jiangwutang's camp in the suburbs of Beijing have spent a lot of money and materials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is required to supervise them.

Li Yuntian didn't mind this, this was just the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he could fully understand it.

Moreover, the accounts of the Jiangwutang and the camp on the outskirts of the Beijing suburbs of the Jiangwutang were clear and clear, and he was not afraid of the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate coming to check.

Liu Guan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, gave Li Yuntian a lot of face, and asked Xie Heng, who was in the same department as Li Yuntian, and another new imperial historian to go to the martial arts hall to brush the scrolls, making it clear that he didn't want to provoke Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian felt quite helpless about this, he was not afraid of the imperial historians coming to investigate, Liu Guan's words in this way seemed to be as if the martial arts hall had become a forbidden area of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Yuntian didn't want to accept Liu Guan's feelings, so as not to be misunderstood by the imperial historians, so he took the initiative to avoid suspicion on the grounds that he was in the same department as Xie Heng.

Seeing that Li Yuntian had made up his mind, Liu Guan consulted with the imperial envoys of the right capital and the left and right deputy imperial envoys of the Imperial Procuratorate, and sent the two oldest imperial historians of the Imperial Court to lecture on the martial arts hall and brush the scrolls.

In the evening, Li Yuntian was the east, and he feasted his colleagues in the restaurant of the Sifang Pavilion, which was not only to renew the old days but also to connect with each other.

Just when everyone was pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Li Yuntian received a battle report from Jiaozhi, and the main force of the Ming army in Jiaozhi was besieged in Changjiang City, and the shape was in danger.

It turned out that due to the poor road from Cochin to the capital, coupled with the increasing military strength of the rebels in Cochin, it was becoming more and more difficult to transmit the battle report from Cochin.

After the Ming army was besieged in Changjiang City, Li Maoxian, a soldier in Jiaozhi, and three others risked their lives to take a shortcut to Beijing to report that Changjiang City was besieged and the situation was extremely critical.

In order to commend the bravery of Li Maoxian, Emperor Xuande awarded the three of them a hundred households, and issued an edict to Liu Sheng, the deputy general of the conquest, so that he could rush to the rescue.

At this moment, Emperor Xuande did not know that the city of Changjiang had been captured by the rebels in mid-April, and Wang Tong led the defeated Ming army to flee.

After learning the latest battle report of Jiaozhi, Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that the rebels had developed to such a strong point that they dared to attack the city where the main force of the Ming army was stationed, it seemed that the rebels were now gaining momentum in Jiaozhi.

When the banquet was over, Li Yuntian bid farewell to those imperial historians who came to the banquet, immediately mounted his horse, and led his guards straight to the post house in the capital.

The post houses in the capital are different from the local post houses, because they are responsible for receiving officials from all over the country who come to the capital to do business, so they occupy a vast area and have many houses.

The post house knew that Li Yuntian was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, he was just a petty official of the seventh grade, how could he compare with a Shangguan like Li Yuntian who was receiving the holy favor.

Li Yuntian is here to find Li Maoxian and the others, since they are soldiers of Jiaozhi, they must know the battle situation in Jiaozhi and the latest developments of the rebels, and they will provide a lot of useful information.

When Li Yuntian walked into the house where Li Maoxian and the three of them lived, Li Maoxian and his two colleagues were sitting around the table and playing the free card boringly.

After the appearance of the Xiaoyao card in the capital, it was first promoted in the military camp, so that the soldiers had a pastime and passed the time, which was deeply liked by the soldiers.

"See the sir." Knowing that the young man standing in front of the three of them was Zhen Wubo, who had made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of King Han, Li Maoxian and the three of them hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, looking a little uneasy, and they didn't know why Li Yuntian came here so late.

"Sit down, this official is here this time because I have something to ask you." Li Yuntian waved his hand to the three of them rather casually, and then sat down on a stool.

Li Maoxian and the three of them dared to sit there, and stood aside with a nervous expression.

"I want to know, how many places have the rebels captured in Cochin now?" Li Yuntian motioned for the post man who followed him to step back, and then looked at Li Maoxian quietly, he could see that Li Maoxian was the one in charge of the three.

"My lord, when the lower officials left, the rebels had already occupied half of the state capital in Jiaozhi." Li Maoxian was a dark, thin and sturdy man, with a Northern Zhili accent, and after thinking about it, he said cautiously, "Now they must have added a lot of territory to the territory they control." ”

The current army of the Jiaozhi Division, many of whom were brought from the inland when Zhang Fu put down the rebellion, and later stationed there, Li Mao was first a military household in Beizhili, and later stayed in Jiaozhi.

"There are more than 100,000 troops in Jiaozhi Dusi, why can't even those rebels composed of mountain and wild villagers be defeated?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, the situation in Jiaozhi was even worse than he imagined, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, although there are more than 100,000 troops in the Jiaozhi Division, half of them are local military households in the various state capitals of Jiaozhi, and together with local officials, they secretly collude with the rebels and pass on information, so the situation of our army in Jiaozhi is difficult."

Li Maoxian smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The lord doesn't know, Jiaozhi has a humid climate, many mountains and forests, and our soldiers from the north are not adapted to the climate and terrain there, except for people from Guangxi, even many soldiers from the south are not adaptable. ”

"In addition, the training of the Cochin Division is not as good as that of the mainland Division, so the combat power has been reduced a lot." After hesitating for a moment, Li Maoxian still said it, and tactfully told Li Yuntian that he was slacking off in training.

"What's the situation in Xuanhua Mansion?" Li Yuntian had long expected that the army of the guard under the Jiaozhi Prefecture was negligent in training, but now was not the time to care about this kind of thing, so he looked at Li Maoxian quietly.

"Does the lord know about Xuanhua Mansion?" Li Maoxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little surprised, and then replied in a deep voice, "The Li Governor of Xuanhua Mansion loves the people like a son, is fair and honest, this time the rebels are in turmoil, but there are no rebels in Xuanhua Mansion, and many local villagers have joined the official army. ”

"What are your plans for the three of you in the future?" The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and after a deep groan, he asked Li Maoxian, it seems that he didn't see the wrong person back then, Li Qingzheng really managed the Xuanfu in an orderly manner.

In this way, he should also fulfill the agreement he once made to Li Qingzheng and meet Li Qingzheng.

"Lord Yu, the lower officials have sent the war report to the capital, and now the battle situation in Jiaozhi is critical, so the little ones are ready to leave for Jiaozhi tomorrow." Li Mao first arched his hand at Li Yuntian and replied in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, since you're here, stay in the capital with peace of mind, this official has some things for you to do." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, got up and said.

"Sir, Xia Guan and the others are just a rough horseman, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this heavy responsibility." Li Mao was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a look of astonishment, and then he said not without crampedness.

"Don't panic, this official just wants you to tell the Xiaowu army about the battle situation in Jiaozhi and the current situation of the rebels." Li Yuntian saw that Li Maoxian was very nervous, so he smiled and comforted, "The art of war is cloudy, and knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles!" ”

"Don't worry, sir, the lower officials and others will definitely tell you everything they know." Li Maoxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and bowed to Li Yuntian and said.

"Now the three of you follow this official to the lecture hall, and the official will report to the military cabinet and transfer you to the lecture hall for appointment." Seeing this, Li Yuntian nodded with satisfaction, and then walked away.

Although Li Yuntian did not know what Liu Sheng had done to quell the rebellion this time, it was obvious that Jiaozhi was not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but only a subject country, so the defeat was inevitable.

Therefore, when Liu Sheng returned from the feather, the court had only two ways to go, one was to appease, and the other was to continue to quell the rebellion.

Li Yuntian was definitely unwilling to be appeased by the imperial court, otherwise Jiaozhi would be separated from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he would definitely persuade Emperor Xuande to quell the rebellion again.

After the two counterinsurgency fiascos of Wang Tong and Liu Sheng, I am afraid that few of those nobles in the capital are willing to take over this mess, and he will take the initiative to invite Ying and lead the army to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, and the Xiaowu army will be his most important support.

Therefore, knowing the battle situation in Jiaozhi and the intelligence of the rebels in advance was of great benefit to the officers and men of the Xiaowu Army, which not only enabled them to eliminate the idea of underestimating the enemy, but also helped them to fight in the future.

Hearing that Li Yuntian transferred them to the martial arts hall, Li Maoxian and the three couldn't help but look at each other, and then hurriedly packed their luggage and chased out, although they wanted to kill the enemy back, but the military order was like a mountain, since Li Yuntian personally issued the order, then the three of them could only obey.

Moreover, on the way to the capital, the three of them heard about the glorious achievements of the Xiaowu Army in Shandong when they quelled the rebellion of the Han King, and they also wanted to see if the Xiaowu Army was really as powerful as the folklore.
