Chapter 579: The Heart of a Courtier, the Benevolence of the Son of Heaven
After Hang Min and Chen Xun retreated, Zhu Jianji picked up a secret fold on the table, opened it and looked at it, and smiled: "Mu Zan and Mu Cong, the two uncles and nephews, are really well-intentioned!" ”
The secret fold was sent to Gyeonggi by the Nanjin Yiwei, and the truth about the defeat of the Yunnan army in that sneak attack.
……
……
Yunnan border.
Because it was attacked by the allied forces of the four countries of the Indochina Peninsula taking advantage of the opportunity when the Ming army was lax during the Spring Festival, the war was unfavorable and had to retreat the front, and almost all the Yunnan troops withdrew from the Nanzhang territory.
In the handsome tent, Mu Cong wiped his sword worriedly.
He was aggrieved.
He didn't know what was going on, obviously he had already issued a military order before the Spring Festival, asking all departments to pay attention to the possible sneak attack of the enemy army, but there was still such a thing.
This was the second defeat of the Ming Dynasty since Jingtai years.
However, the Guangxi Dusi, who was defeated in the first battle, has already regained his feet on the Champa of Zhancheng.
And the battle is outstanding.
Liu Jing is waiting!
But now that he has experienced such a war, not to mention anything else, the lives of more than 20,000 sons alone make Mu Cong feel as uncomfortable as a knife in his heart.
That's more than 20,000 Yunnan children!
Moreover, after this war, as the chief military officer of the Yunnan front, it is likely that he will be held accountable by Gyeonggi, don't be able to protect the Duke of Qianguo at that time, after all, the country is still very strict with the generals of the defeated army.
In the middle of a long sigh, his uncle Mu Zan walked into the handsome tent.
Glanced left and right.
The pro-soldiers on both sides immediately retreated sensibly.
Mu Zan sat down by himself, poured another cup of tea, and took a sip, "Grandpa Guo is still worried about the defeat before?" ”
Mu Cong said: "Isn't my uncle worried? ”
Mu Zan laughed, "I'm worried, but I'm not worried about the previous defeat, I'm worried about the next few days, I may not be able to get out of bed, and my ass will bloom!" ”
Mu Cong was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
Mu Zan continued to smile: "I have already asked Grandpa Guo to prepare a dressing for trauma. ”
Mu Cong: "??? ”
More and more confused.
And it's a little strange, my uncle is commensurate with his uncle and nephew on weekdays, and he only calls himself Grandpa Guo like this on formal occasions, why are there two of them now, he wants such a courtesy.
Mu Zan smiled: "Is it strange? Don't be surprised, after all, you are the grandfather of the country, and you have to take on more things. ”
Mu Cong was stunned.
Immediately, I felt a little chill in my heart.
Uncle Affection wants to blame himself for the defeat.
Mu Zan said: "You think too much, I say this so so that you can strengthen your belief in the next cane responsibility, as the prince of the country and the commander of the three armies, if there is such a defeat, it is also appropriate to be punished." ”
Mu Cong was puzzled, "Hit the board?" ”
Mu Zan said: "After the defeated military report is delivered to Gyeonggi, how do you think Your Majesty will be held accountable?" Will it cut your position as the Duke of Qianguo? No, the situation here in Yunnan, Your Majesty will not do this. ”
After a pause, "So it can basically be concluded that the rod is responsible and the salary is fined." ”
Mu Cong suddenly became energetic, "So, we still have a chance to stand up again like Guangxi Dusi?" ”
Mu Zan nodded, "Of course there is a chance." ”
Mu Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said: "In fact, what really hurts my nephew's heart is the lives of those more than 20,000 sons. ”
They're all heroes.
As a result, he slept in a foreign land, and his soul did not return to his homeland.
Mu Zan bowed slightly, yes, our Mu family's generation of Qianguo Gong is indeed worthy of being assisted, and said with a smile: "Who told you that there are more than 20,000 written in the battle report, and we really lost more than 20,000 sons?" ”
Mu Cong was stunned again, "It's all talking, and the results of the four-nation alliance on the Indochina Peninsula are also more than 20,000!" ”
Mu Zan laughed and said: "Don't you know that many things on the battlefield are exaggerated, for example, when Cao Mengde went to Chibi, claiming to be 800,000, there were 800,000, for example, in a certain war, he killed 100,000 enemies, and really killed 100,000 enemies?" ”
Mu Cong suddenly came over, "Then how many brothers did we lose in battle?" ”
In a hurry, he blurted out his brother.
But it was this true sentence that made Mu Zan feel relieved and happy.
I won't tease my nephew.
smiled: "Actually, none of our sons were sacrificed, and there were indeed more than 20,000 people in the military camp attacked by the four-nation coalition forces in the Indochina Peninsula, but before they were attacked, I had already withdrawn them, of course, our army did have more than 20,000 combat strength, but the less than 20,000 people were all injured in the previous war, and I asked them to withdraw to Yunnan to recuperate." ”
Mu Cong was stunned, "Why does my uncle want to do this?" ”
Mu Zan said: "The reason is very simple, in fact, we are just protecting ourselves for our Qianguo Gong." ”
And so on and so forth.
Mu Cong understood, "If we really conquer the Indochina Peninsula, we will indeed have to make great contributions, and the control of the Indochina Peninsula will indeed rely on our 300,000 troops in Yunnan. ”
Mu Zan nodded, "There's no way, the destruction of the Indochina Peninsula is doomed." ”
Mu Cong was still puzzled, "But this matter ...... Strictly speaking, even if it is a bully, Jinyiwei has also arranged a large number of people in front and behind the battle line, and it is impossible for them not to know. ”
Mu Zan said: "So this matter can't be hidden from Jinyiwei, so I have already informed Nanjinyiwei, and Nanjinyiwei will present the truth to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will not pursue our crime of bullying the monarch!" ”
Mu Cong thought for a while, "Your Majesty will?" ”
Mu Cong smiled, "This is our sincerity, it is the sincerity and position of Nanyun, it is a situation of loyalty, such as His Majesty Emperor Guang'an, he will definitely accept it!" ”
This is the courtier's return for loyalty, and the Son of Heaven for the emperor's benevolence.
Mu Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Zan continued: "But the next board will definitely be suffered, and it will be supervised by Jinyi Wei, although it will not kill our uncle and nephew, but the pain of flesh and skin is indispensable!" ”
Mu Cong smiled and said: "If one board can be exchanged for the lives of more than 20,000 sons, why not take ten more beatings!" ”
Mu Zan said: "The beauty I think about will not be in the future." ”
He added: "But we still have to prepare for the transfer of military power." ”
Mu Cong is not stupid, "Let's go out with 300,000, it's okay to divide 200,000, after all, there are 100,000 troops enough to make great achievements, who does my uncle think will control the other 200,000 troops?" ”
Mu Zan said: "If nothing else, the four guards of the pro-army in Jiaozhi will be handed over to Yu Zijun, and the chief military officer Zhu Yonghui will come to control 100,000 troops, and the other 100,000 troops are likely to be Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo." ”
Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi has grown rapidly and has inherited the legacy of his ancestors.
Moreover, he learned the methods of firearms warfare with the Jingo Group Army.
The Shenji Battalion of the Mujia Army in Yunnan is likely to be handed over to Commander Zhu Yi.
As for Zhu Yong......
The henchmen of the Son of Heaven will naturally be reused at this time.
