Chapter 823: The Arch of Loyalty

Above Jinling, there is a lot of haze.

Tensions have spread.

The ministries are in an emergency, and the southern provinces and counties are also in an emergency.

Zhu Gaosui went to the Empress Dowager Xu early in the morning to say hello. Empress Dowager Xu's illness has worsened, and she has been bedridden for several days, and the more at this moment, Zhu Gaosui feels that this empress dowager is more important.

The thieves have taken Liangguang, the situation has changed, and the previous advantages of the imperial court have disappeared, of course, this battle is to be fought, but how to fight, Zhu Gaosui is a little undecided.

For a certain kind of Cheng Dù, the loss of Lai Jun made Zhu Gaosui suddenly unavailable, this is his dilemma, so what he can rely on at the moment are those who are martyrdom.

Such as Zhang Fu, Xu Jingming, and Zhu Yong, and even Qiu Fu, who is now being neglected.

Except for these people who can still lead the troops, it is impossible for others to even think about it.

This is the most depressed place of Zhu Gaosui, and it is also the biggest drawback of the Ming army, over the years, the Ming army has been lined with mountains, and the dispatch of ordinary people has simply not been able to suppress these arrogant old Qiu Ba, the only ones who can be dispatched are only these few families, and the others are even Han Xin's rebirth, Tianzhong genius, once he worships as a general, he is afraid that he will not even be able to bring the soldiers, and he will talk about the marching formation.

Zhu Gaosui only saw the facts clearly now, and he suddenly felt that the prosperous scene that Yongle left to him was just a scene, and many of them were messes, such as these heroes of Jingjing.

And these heroes of the martyrdom have one thing in common, most of them only serve two people, one is Zhu Gaosui's father Zhu Di, but now Zhu Di is dead. The other is Xu Da.

That's right, Zhu Di's soldiers in Beiping. Almost all of them were brought out by Xu Da, and Zhu Di sealed the king of Yan in Beiping that year. Xu Da was ordered to control the military horses in the border towns, adopt a high-pressure posture on the desert, and was also stationed in Beiping, Xu Da and Zhu Di are both Weng sons-in-law and master and apprentice, not only Zhu Di is Xu Da's training, most of these Jingjing heroes in Beiping are Xu Da's lackeys, and the military ministers and Wenchen are almost the same, and they all pay attention to drinking water and thinking about the source. Whoever is from whom, which mountain, must be sorted out, not chaotic, messy, that is unrighteousness.

Zhu Gaosui then understood more and more the importance of the Empress Dowager Xu, who was not only the Empress Dowager, but also the daughter of Xu Da, and she represented the Xu family. In a certain way, it also represents the strength of the various hills in the army.

It turned out that there were still so many people calling around.

The heroes of Jingnan who have continued from the founding heroes have now become auxiliary heroes, from the founding of the country to the present. In fact, there are still so many families calling around, and it is really bleak and autumnal, and it is very melancholy.

I understood the importance of this. Zhu Gaosui had to be more virtuous and filial.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Xu also treated him with great care. Although he is seriously ill, he is also quite concerned about his son's situation.

"陛xià. So far, I will look at the mourning family. It is urgent to purge the military horses and protect Jiangxi. ”

"What the queen mother said is very true, it's just ......" Zhu Gaosui sighed, and he suddenly remembered Lai Jun's kindness.

In fact, if you want to fight, there are still soldiers, and 100,000 people have been allocated to the border towns, and there are barely more than 100,000 guards in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and tens of thousands can also be allocated in Shandong and other places. As for the Beijing Division, hundreds of thousands of new troops cannot be moved, and the others stationed in Jiangxi can still fight.

However, Zhu Gaosui felt that the situation was not optimistic, and even a little bad.

Zhu Gaosui pondered for a moment, but there was one thing he wanted to discuss with the Empress Dowager Xu: "Erchen thinks that Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jingchu are not as wide as the two, where science prevails, the vast majority of people are good gentry, for the rebellious ministers and thieves, they have always been incompatible with the sky, if the Langshan army invades Jiangxi, I don't know how many gentry have to beat their chests and fall down, the queen mother, after all, the hearts of the people are towards our court, a few days ago, Mr. Huang said, saying that he is from Jiangxi, and was shocked to hear that there are many loyal people in the township, there are many loyal people who have food and grain, and have gathered many local militia groupsIn order to protect himself and assist the imperial court to suppress thieves, it is now an extraordinary time, Mr. Huang has simply let those officials who are in the local system, some ministers of Zhishi, and some local gentry who have always been loyal and good to take the lead, and also follow these examples, collect money and food in various townships, and train the township regiment in case of emergency. ”

There are many ministers in Jiangxi in the middle of the DPRK, especially the cabinet, almost more than half of them are Jiangxi people, these people are to put it bluntly, they are all big landlords, and now the thieves are about to enter Jiangxi, although many people have fled north with their families, but their family business is in the township, how can they bear to give it up? Jiangxi has the heaviest atmosphere of science, and it is an important base against the Hao family, these people usually scold the Hao family, if they really let the rebel army take Jiangxi, their family property is afraid that it will be wiped out.

Now these ministers in Jiangxi are more anxious than the emperor, after all, their ancestral graves are still in their hometown.

Zhu Gaosui is quite optimistic about this, but he is also a little worried, once this is given to the local military power, it will not be easy to take it back in the future.

It's just that right now, I can't manage so much.

He came to ask the Empress Dowager Xu, but on the surface he was asking for advice, but in fact he was testing the attitude of the Empress Dowager Xu.

Empress Dowager Xu pursed her lips and smiled, then frowned, coughed and said: "Mourning family, this matter has to be decided by His Majesty, and the strategy of this township group is the sword of the two, which can hurt others as well as yourself." ”

Zhu Gaosui glanced at the Empress Dowager Xu, and couldn't understand the attitude of the Empress Dowager Xu for a while, so he smiled and said: "When it is extraordinary, it is reasonable to practice extraordinary methods." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Coming out of the Wanshou Palace, a message came like a thunderbolt from the sky.

The Mu family sent secret envoys to Langshan, most likely to lead the troops to surrender.

Zhu Gaosui stood still, and then the whole person froze.

He never imagined that things would be so bad.

"Mu family...... Damn it! ”

Zhu Gaosui's eyes were cold, and he stood in the warm pavilion in a daze, motionless.

For a long time, he barely held on to the case, and finally let out a long breath.

Yunnan is also finished.

And most importantly, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of military horses in Yunnan?

Those who want to refuse to surrender will definitely retreat to Sichuan and Guizhou, but next, the imperial court will finally have to face the hundreds of thousands of Langshan troops.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui's heart couldn't help but feel a little cold.

But at this time, someone just asked to see him.

"Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong Xu Jingming asks to see."

Zhu Gaosui frowned, what did he come to do?

At this time, Zhu Gaosui didn't want to see anyone, so he was like a wounded hungry wolf, desperately looking for a desolate place to lick his wounds.

Besides, although Xu Jingming was not punished, he was also a general of the defeated army after all, and at this time, he didn't know what he wanted to do?

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaosui still suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart and said, "Call in." ”

A moment later, Xu Jingming arrived.

This guy was wearing a python suit, but he was also decent, and when he saw Zhu Gaosui, he bowed his head and said: "Minister Xu Jingming, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Gaosui had a gloomy face and was silent.

Xu Jingming is thick-skinned, but he doesn't care about this, in fact, the Son of Heaven doesn't want to see him, he knows it in his own heart, so he grinned and said: "Weichen was shocked to hear the bad news, and he came immediately, hey...... His Majesty, Weichen is brave and loyal, and he has a word in his heart, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Gaosui to say a word but it didn't matter, he sighed to himself: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, Lai Jun is afraid of death, and the surname Mu is also afraid of death, the daughter is easy to get, and the good general is hard to find, Weichen thinks about it left and right, and suddenly feels how difficult the court is, I am a loyal minister, the ancestor of the King of Zhongshan, who worked hard to open the country, and his father Jing is difficult to meritorious, to the generation of Weichen, how can he be reluctant and endure humiliation, Weichen is determined to serve the emperor's grace, not to be a good general, but he has to be loyal and hard, I implore His Majesty Xià to let Weichen be a pawn under the army, Weichen is willing to charge ahead, For His Majesty xià to share worries. In this way, there is no regret even if you die. ”

This benevolent brother's eyes turned red when he spoke, and he looked angry.

Zhu Gaosui sneered in his heart, your mother really has the ambition to say today, she has already died in the city of Guangzhou, and she still needs to say these words in front of me?

It's just that Zhu Gaosui didn't break it, in fact, at this time, Lai Jun escaped from the battle, and the Mu family was a thief, at this moment, for the imperial court, the most important thing is indeed to establish a model out, what is a typical, the so-called typical is to tell everyone that this Ming still has loyal ministers, and the Ming Dynasty has loyal ministers, so the Ming Dynasty's society will not die.

Now, Xu Jingming appeared just right, a kind of Cheng dù, although Zhu Gaosui didn't think so, but he also understood that the laurels of the loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty were afraid that the flowers would fall to the Xu family.

Speaking of which, this is very ridiculous, but in fact, this is indeed an urgent problem, several defeats in a row, and the military attache is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is a stealing life, and the Manjing division is afraid that it has already been discussed, this is the son of heaven, in fact, it is similar to the stock speculation of later generations, if you want to maintain, it is nothing more than two words, confidence.

With confidence, no matter how garbage the stock is, his mother can copy it, and there is no expectation that you can speculate on the concept, it is nothing more than a fool.

And now, what the Ming Dynasty needs most is a memorial arch, this memorial arch is very important, and this guy who almost burst into tears for the situation of the imperial court, as a national prince, but would rather be a pawn of the border army appeared just right.
