In the Qianqing Palace, Jiuqing, the governor, and the heads of departments involved in the work of the southern war gathered together, except for a few old ministers such as Yu Qian, the rest of the people exchanged heads and discussions.

Even the various books are not stable.

There is no way, the defeat of Mu Cong and Mu Zan in the south involves too much, if one does not pay attention, if the southern army is defeated, it is likely to be a disaster for the empire.

If you don't know if the Guangxi Metropolitan Division is wiped out, even Jiaozhi will be gained and lost.

On the contrary, it was the old god Zhu Qiyu who was there with his eyes closed.

He wasn't worried.

The defeat in the South is real.

But the fall of the empire?

Inexistent.

Da Ming still has the Zhenguo artifact at the bottom of the box, which is useless.

The Ming Dynasty only needs to stabilize the Mongolian tribes, transfer the Jinge Group Army to the south, not to mention flattening the Indochina Peninsula in an instant, at least stabilize the current situation, and strive to give the Yunnan Mujia Army time and space to repair and make a comeback, and there is no problem at all.

So he's not in a hurry.

It is enough for the son to come back from the inspection of the two houses and make a ruling.

After all, the two fathers and sons have divided their labor.

Zhu Qiyu is responsible for people's livelihood and political affairs.

Zhu Jianji was responsible for major national events such as the transfer of troops and horses, and the implementation of reforms.

Yu Qian is the same.

Now on the Indochina Peninsula, the Mujia army was only attacked by the four-nation alliance, losing more than 20,000 soldiers, although this move will make the army's heart turbulent, and the Mujia army in Yunnan may plummet, but the strength of the troops is there.

And more than 200,000!

Even if it is not good, it can hold the border defense.

Yu Qian has faced a worse situation than this, and he also took Baozong to the south first, and the army approached Gyeonggi, and if he didn't pay attention, the Ming Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the Great Song Dynasty.

The result?

Hold on!

That was when the Tumu Fort was exhausted by the Baozong, but now the Yunnan Mujia Army has lost more than 20,000 soldiers, and it has not hurt the muscles and bones.

However, the more than 20,000 soldiers killed and wounded still had to be given an explanation by the four-nation coalition forces on the Indochina Peninsula.

How could I, Da Ming Erlang, die in vain.

Do you really think it's the Ming Dynasty of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy?

Today's Daming ......

It can definitely be the dynasty that Taizu Taizong wants, and he can fulfill the bold words of "I will be punished even if I am far away", and I can also practice the basic principles of no harmony, no compensation, no land and no tribute that my ancestors said.

So what's the hurry, wait for His Majesty Emperor Guang'an to come back and adjudicate.

Zhu Jianji was late.

When he returned to the Qianqing Hall after inspecting the National Military Research Institute, it was already about to get off work in the afternoon, Zhu Jianji walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, glanced at the father sitting on the soft couch, and then at Yu Qian, and bowed slightly to the two.

sat down behind the imperial desk, and said expressionlessly: "No courtesy, please sit down." ”

The ministers stood up.

Zhu Jianji coughed, "I heard that the military report from the south said that Mu Cong and Mu Zan lost the battle and lost more than 20,000 sons. ”

He Jian, the secretary of the military department, immediately said so.

Zhu Jianji bowed his head slightly and looked at Liu Jing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Liu Jing said: "The military report is true. ”

Jinyiwei does this, and nothing can get out of Jinyiwei's monitoring, so the war in the south, Jinyiwei also supervises the whole process and submits it to Gyeonggi at any time.

Zhu Jian thought for a while, and said slowly: "This is the fault of Mu Cong and Mu Zhan, what do you think to deal with it?" ”

Li Jin, the left governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, the top priority now is not to discuss how to deal with Mu Cong and Mu Zhan, Mu Jiajun has just experienced a setback, but at this moment, he is condemning Mu Cong and Mu Zan to break the hearts of the army, so that the next strategic arrangement should be decided as soon as possible to prevent the deterioration of the gaffe." ”

Li Jin, Jingtai attacked Xiangcheng Bo in the first year, Jingtai thirteen years, led a battalion of the regimental battalion, Jingtai sixteen years, took charge of the military governor's office, Jingtai nineteen years, Pei Zhengyi General Yin served as the chief military officer, and the left attendant Lang Cheng Xin supervised the army by the Ministry of Officials, rushed to Sichuan, led the troops of the Sichuan capital division to break the rebellion of the barbarians, and entered the Xiangcheng Marquis because of merit.

And Yang Xin, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Datong, also came out, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Yang Xin is the nephew of the famous general Yang Hong.

Like the "Tiger of Liaodong" Han Bin, Yang Xin also has a nickname in the Mongolian provinces, which is the "Great Wall of the North" of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Xin was originally stationed at the edge of the town in Xuanfu, but because the Jinge Group Army passed, the pressure on his border army plummeted, and the veteran Guo Deng died of illness, and he also wanted to send his comrades a ride, so after escorting Guo Deng's coffin back to his hometown before the Spring Festival, he returned to Jinggi to report on his work by the way, and then occasionally felt a cold, and did not return to Xuanfu for the time being.

Zhu Jianji didn't squeak.

But the other courtiers saw His Majesty's thoughts.

I don't know what to do.

His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to weaken the control of the Qianguo Gong family over the thirty armies in Yunnan, of course, the whole world does not doubt the Mu family's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

】

However, after conquering the Indochina Peninsula, the Yunnan army is likely to go to the Indochina Peninsula to garrison.

At that time, the Mu family will be the king of Yunnan and the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Such a huge territory is torn and crowned king......

There is no ambition and the whole ambition is given.

Therefore, His Majesty is likely to take this opportunity to add another general who can have absolute right to speak to the 300,000 army in Yunnan, and the first step is to ask Mu Cong and Mu Zan for their crimes.

Otherwise, how to place people to take over part of the troops?

That's a good thing.

In addition to the group of generals in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the civilian officials at the station all saw His Majesty's drunkard's intentions, and even some generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies could understand the twists and turns in this, after all, they were all mixed in the officialdom, how could they not understand these political dumps.

Bai Gui, the secretary of the ministry, immediately came out and said: "Correct the military discipline first, and punish it with a clear code, so that the Yunnan army will be like the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, shame and courage, and then decide the situation in one fell swoop!" ”

How clever a reader is.

What a big deal the southern expedition to Indochina is, Mu Cong won't talk about it when he is young, and he may make mistakes.

But who is Mu Zhan?

has controlled Yunnan for many years, and after Mu Cong became an adult, Mu Zan is not in love with power, such a wise person, how can he not guess the layout of the Indochina Peninsula after the southern expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

It must be relying on the 300,000 troops of Yunnan.

And such a heavy reliance......

The Mu family has the possibility of being a master of high merit.

Therefore, this defeat is likely to be caused by Mu Zan to deliberately defile himself in order to give His Majesty an excuse and reason to operate.

It is even possible that the defeat was not caused by the sneak attack of the Four-Nation Alliance.

It's just a small defeat in a serious battle.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Because the defeat of Yunnan was confirmed by Jinyiwei,

After all, no one dared to believe that Mu Zan would give up the lives of more than 20,000 sons for the future stability of the Mu family, if this was the case, then Mu Zan would be too crazy.

And it's horrible, too.

But there is indeed a possibility: for the sake of the Mu family's future, Mu Zan deliberately let the enemy attack succeed.

In this case, the Mu family will give up part of the military power.

After the successful expansion of the Indochina Peninsula in the south, the Mu family will not have a situation where the merits are high, after all, the military is a continuation of the political game.

Anyway, no matter what, the Mu family is the right step.
