Guilin City.

Han Guan and Li Jun stood on the city wall of Guilin, looking at the dense black and oppressive rebel camp outside the city, the expressions in their eyes were very complicated, and they had their own thoughts.

Han Guan did not participate in the important battle of Jingnan, and even only played a soy sauce in Jingnan.

As early as the nineteenth year of Hongwu (1386), he was the commander of the capital of Guangxi.

At that time, Han Guan had a fierce personality, and he was not tolerant of what should be killed, and he was ordered like a mountain in the army, and no one dared to violate it.

At the beginning, the barbarians in Guangxi rose up everywhere, looted counties and counties, killed guards, and had great power. The soldiers were afraid of Han Guan's decree and fought to the death to kill the enemy. Han Guan must punish the captured thieves with capital punishment, so the barbarians are frightened, and the territory is at peace.

After working in Guangxi for the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu (1396), Han Guan was recalled to the capital and promoted to the governor of Tongzhi.

In the first year of Jianwen (1399), when Jing was martyred, Han Guan was sent to Dezhou to train troops to resist the troops of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

This futility should be that Han Guan did not work actively and did not use his heart to suppress the bandits, otherwise after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he would not have reused him and let him return to Guangxi to serve as the commander of the capital.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was even more reused, and he was appointed as the chief military officer, and he also controlled the three divisions of Guangdong, Fujian, and Huguang.

Judging from Zhu Di's reuse of him in the original history, Han Guan must have fished in the Jing Disaster, and Song Sheng has the same virtue.

After Zhu Gaoxu became the queen of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Di specially called Han Guan to the palace and asked him to return to Guangxi to serve as the commander of the capital.

Because Han Guan is familiar with Guangxi, he can cooperate well with Tan Qing.

Han Guan also knew that the purpose of his coming to Guangxi was to take a good look at the Han King in Yunnan.

Unexpectedly, King Han really reversed.

At that time, his first thought in Guilin was that the King of Han had killed himself.

Today, His Majesty has proved his ability to command troops in the Jingjing, as a vassal king, with a corner of Beiping, to seize the Ming Dynasty, such a successful example, there are almost no dynasties in history.

Zhu Gaoxu's attempt to rebel is simply self-defeating.

Therefore, Han Guan resolutely stood in Zhu Di's position.

For this reason, when someone reported that the new version of the Martial King Cutting Book was circulated outside, Han Guan unceremoniously ordered to kill a few to shock the whole city.

Although there was a lot of scolding in the city, the effect was surprisingly good, and the book disappeared from the market.

After this matter was done, Han Guan completely stood on the opposite side of Zhu Gaoxu.

At that time, Zhu Neng's 300,000 army was approaching, and Han Guan was also surging with confidence.

Unexpectedly, it has only been less than half a month, and a big war has turned the situation upside down.

Zhu Neng was defeated and retreated to Huguang, and Han Guan was surrounded by the rebel army.

But what is even worse is that in late July, he received news that Zhu Neng ran away with more than 10,000 cavalry, and Xu Zhong's 70,000 infantry battalion was also gone.

Special mother, Han Guan scolded in his heart at that time.

Taiheshan fought so aggrieved in this battle, and it would not have been like this if it was Commander Han Guan.

Han Guan, who came from Jingjing, of course, knew that in the Ming Civil War, the soldiers surrendered quickly and easily.

After Zhu Neng's defeat, one rose and the other rose, and the Han king's army increased dramatically.

Now that 300,000 people are surrounding Guilin City, his life will not be easy.

When Han Guan thought of this, he already faintly regretted that he had beheaded a few scholars and forbade King Wu from cutting down the books.

Because this incident completely put him on the opposite side of him and the king of Han.

The people in the city and the scholars were scolding, and now the king of Han wants to let him go, and it is estimated that these people will not forgive him.

Moreover, at that time, even the officials of the Guangxi Political Envoy Department were strongly opposed.

Among those who opposed it, there was also Ma Lin, the left cloth envoy of Guangxi.

At the time of Jianwen, Ma Lin was relegated to Yunnan as an official because of corruption.

After Zhu Di came to power, all the officials who were demoted at the time of Jianwen were recalled and promoted.

After returning to Beijing, Ma Lin began to think about how to attack other ministers in order to curry favor with Zhu Di and become his confidant. However, due to the low level of business, they always denounce some trivial matters, and other ministers are impeached as shocking crimes if they make a small mistake. After a long time, Zhu Di couldn't stand this person anymore, so he decisively got him out again, so Ma Lin went to Guangxi as a political envoy.

When Ma Lin came over, it was the third year of Yongle, and a major event happened in Guilin, Guangxi.

In the first month of the third year of Yongle, some officials found that more than 43,880 stones of grain in Guilin's warehouse were rotten due to being left for a long time.

Grain is a very important material in ancient and past dynasties, and Guangxi is not a big granary province, and there are more than 40,000 stones that have been rotted.

At that time, Zhu Di was also furious and severely punished a group of officials.

That's when Ma Lin came.

When Ma Lin first came over, he had a good relationship with Han Guan, and the two cooperated very well.

After the King of Han raised his army, Ma Lin also scolded the King of Han for being disloyal and unscrupulous in front of him, and almost every time he met Han Guan, he had to scold a few words.

But when the news of the defeat of Guizhou in the imperial court and the fall of Tan Qing arrived in Guilin, Ma Lin's attitude instantly seemed to be reversed, and he no longer mentioned the disloyalty and filial piety of the Han king.

On the same day, Han Guan ordered to cut down a few scholars, and Ma Lin reacted strongly, and at the same time objected, as well as Wu Xiang, the right senator of the Guangxi Buzheng Division.

Han Guan naturally didn't take the two of them to heart, and still cut them off.

After this incident, Ma Lin rarely talked to Han Guan again, as if he was angry.

This time, Han Guan recruited young and strong people to defend the city, and the political secretary did not seem to be able to do it, and it took only three days to recruit 1,000 people, and now there are less than 2,000 people.

Han Guan thought about it like this, and felt that Ma Lin, a dog official, was unreliable.

But without evidence, it is not easy for him to kill a court official.

Just when Han Guan had various emotions in his heart, Li Jun on the side 'tui', spit on the city wall with a mouthful of saliva, and said dissatisfiedly: "We can't run away." ”

“。。” Han Guan looked back at Li Jun.

Li Jun can be regarded as the descendant of King Yan, during the Hongwu period, he was the deputy Qianhu of the left guard of Yanshan, and the first batch of people who followed King Yan during the Jingjing period participated in the key battle of capturing the Nine Gates of Beiping.

After the Jingjing, he was named Xiangcheng Bo, and the chief military officer of Jiangxi was out of town, and this time the imperial court gathered troops in various places, and he also took some of the soldiers and horses of Jiangxi to follow Zhu Neng into Guangxi.

But he was injured in the Jing Martyrdom, and he was not in good health in Jiangxi before, and once he was in a coma for two days.

Before this expedition, Li Jun also told the emperor that he was not in good health and wanted to return to Beijing to recuperate.

Originally, Zhu Di also agreed, and transferred Li Jun back to Beijing, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu suddenly raised troops, and Zhu Di asked him to come over.

Li Jun was also scolding his mother in his heart, his health was not very good after the martyrdom, and the original history passed away last year.

Maybe Zhu Gaoxu disrupted history, and he is alive until now.

But his health has not been good, and sometimes he will faint suddenly, which is estimated to be similar to the disease of cerebral hemorrhage in later generations.

He originally planned to retire and return to Beijing to recuperate, but Zhu Gaoxu's army disrupted his rhythm.

If he knew that he died last year in his history, he should actually thank Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu changed history and extended his lifespan, the timeline and things he experienced were different from the original, and he lived for more than half a year.

But he doesn't know it now, so it's very painful Zhu Gaoxu, you started the army two months late, isn't it good to wait for me to return to Beijing?

Now I'm trapped in Guilin, and when I think of this, he has a headache.

Han saw his headache expression and sighed, "Uncle Xiangcheng is not in good health, so he should ask His Majesty to recuperate." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that Li Jun was angry, he didn't fight: "If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu's army, I would have returned to Beijing." ”

Ni Niang, Han Guan scolded secretly in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Xiangchengyang has experienced a hundred battles and has rich experience, even if you are recuperating at home, Your Majesty still has to reuse you." ”

Li Jun was still happy to hear this, but he still told the truth: "My health is not good, and I really don't want to fight." ”

Han Guan was speechless.

Hundreds of thousands of troops outside Nite Niang surrounded us, you don't want to fight?

Does this mean that it is going to fall?

Impossible, Li Jun is a confidant of King Yan, and his family members are all in Beijing.

Han Guan was stunned by Li Jun's sentence that he didn't want to fight.

Li Jun reacted quickly, knowing that Han Guan had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "What I mean, my body is not as good as before, and I can't go to the battlefield to fight, but I still have the energy to defend the city." ”

"The matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, let's report to the emperor's grace, and for the people, we should also defend Guilin." After saying that, he hugged his fist in the direction of Jingshi.

Han Guan laughed and hurriedly said a few words of loyalty to the emperor.

On that day, the two patrolled the city together, arranged defenses, and did a very serious job.

When they broke up, Li Jun deliberately said one thing, which was also explained by Zhu Neng when he left.

In the city of Guilin, there were 100,000 stone grains transported by the imperial court from Huguang at that time, as well as a large number of ordnance baggage.

Once the war is unfavorable, the grain will be burned first, and not a single grain of rice can be left for Zhu Gaoxu.

Of course, Han Guan agreed, and the people who guarded the grain were all Li Jun's, so he had to agree if he didn't agree.

Unexpectedly, Han Guan returned home with his front foot, and someone on his back foot hurriedly ran over to report to him.

As soon as Li Jun returned home, he suddenly fell ill at home and died.

"Grip—grass." Han Guan immediately scolded his mother in the house.

Li Jun really died of illness.

As in history, it is estimated that he still has a cerebral hemorrhage, he has lived more than half a year longer than in history, but he still did not escape, not long after he returned home, he felt a little dizzy, and then his eyes were dark, and he fell directly to the ground, and then he never woke up.

As soon as the news of Li Jun's death came out, Wu Xiang, the right senator of Guangxi's political secretary, went out.

This Wu Xiang was a Tongzhi of Qujing Mansion in Yunnan Province before the Jingjing, and went to Guangxi in the first year of Yongle to be the right senator.

He and Ma Lin have one thing in common, they were both demoted when they were Jianwen.

Ma Lin was demoted to Yunnan as an official, and Wu Xiang was still an official, because at this time, all officials assigned to Yunnan, Guangdong, and Annam were almost all degraded.

The two had met in Yunnan, but it was Ma Lin on the way through Yunnan and happened to leave Qujing.

At that time, Wu Xiangguan was still older than Ma Lin, but he didn't expect that after the Jing martyrdom, the two came to Guangxi one after another, and Ma Lin became his boss.

Originally, Wu Xiang went from Yunnan to Guangxi, from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, and he was quite happy.

But as soon as he saw Ma Lin, he was in a bad mood instantly.

After returning to Beijing, they were given seven grades from the capital, first promoted to the fifth rank of Langzhong in the Criminal Department, then the fourth rank of the political secretary, and finally went out of Beijing and went directly to the political envoy of the second grade.

Ma Lin was able to rise so quickly because when he returned to Beijing, he had won Zhu Di's favor, but he was annoyed by Zhu Di later, and he was demoted again, and he was also promoted, which cannot be regarded as depreciation.

Therefore, if you want to be promoted quickly, you have to hug your thighs.

Wu Xiang understood this truth and began to figure out which side had a thigh hug.
