Ma Lin will also sigh at home, this foreign political envoy has not been comfortable for a year, the Han King's soldiers and horses are approaching, and the entire Guangxi is only Guilin, and now he is still a fart as a political envoy, and there is a big disaster coming.

"Why is the lord sighing? Can't Guilin City hold it? At this time, Ma Lin's wife Zhou asked him cautiously.

Ma Lin made a bitter face, frowned, and said miserably: "How to keep?" The soldiers and horses of the Han King only need to be surrounded, and if there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, it will not be long before it will be over. ”

There are 100,000 stone of grain transported in the city, plus the original political envoy and local granary, there should be more than 100,000 stone.

The number of soldiers and new recruits in the city was close to 40,000.

More than 100,000 stone of grain is enough for them to eat for a year.

But the point is that there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

The soldiers and horses of the Han King surrounded the outside like an iron bucket, and the water and land roads were impassable, so what would the people eat in the future?

It is impossible for ordinary people to save a year's worth of food at home.

Since the siege of the city by the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, the price of grain on the street has risen sharply, and by yesterday, one stone of rice has risen to two taels of silver, which is several times that of before.

There is no direct sale on the market today.

When the people finish eating, you will see if there will be trouble.

"Won't the court save us?" Zhou's expression was a little scared.

"Save a fart, Zhu Neng still has a face called Zhu Neng, it's simply incompetent, and he has already run away with the cavalry." Ma Lin said angrily: "Even if there are more soldiers and horses in the imperial court, they may be intercepted by the soldiers and horses of the King of Han, what is that called-besieging the city and sending reinforcements-"

Ma Lin can actually say something military.

Therefore, Ma Lin believes that ordinary people will have about half a month's worth of grain at most, and after half a month, there will be a large-scale shortage of food in the city.

If the military rations are brought out, the 40,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to support it for long.

"As long as King Han is surrounded for two months, something will inevitably happen." Ma Lin said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Zhou listened anxiously: "Then sir, will we have anything to do?" ”

Some time ago, Ma Lin had a bad mouth, scolded King Han everywhere, and helped Han Guan recruit young people, this wants King Han to know that he will have it after entering the city?

"What's the panic, sir, I'm not trying to figure out a way?" Ma Lin scolded Zhou.

He must be quite regretful in his heart now, some time ago Zhu Neng entered Guangxi with an army of 300,000, which not only made Han Guan's confidence surge, but even Ma Lin also believed that the King of Han would be defeated.

I didn't expect the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse, and I didn't expect Zhu Neng to lose so quickly and so completely.

I heard that other state capitals surrendered quickly, and the Han kings were all alive and well, and many people were promoted?

Ma Lin was annoyed because he was a big city in Guilin, and the city was full of troops.

If it is a county seat, as long as there is no guard stationed, he can control the whole city with a county order, and he can have the final say on whether to surrender or fight.

Just when Ma Lin was extremely troubled, someone outside walked in: "Dad, Mr. Dai said that Senator Wu came to ask to see him." ”

A young lady appeared outside the door.

The little lady is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a good figure, a little petite, standing in front of Ma Lin.

This is his beloved daughter Ma Ling.

Seeing his daughter suddenly appear, Ma Lin's eyes lit up, and then he quickly shook his head.

When King Han comes in, no matter how beautiful her daughter is, I'm afraid it will be useless.

"Wait, Wu Xiang is here?" That's when he reacted.

Ma Ling answered and said that she was waiting in the front hall.

Ma Lin looked at the sky, it was almost dinner, did Wu Xiang want to come over for dinner? I didn't say hello in advance.

He nodded, looked at his wife Zhou before going out, and suddenly walked over and whispered: "Look at your daughter, she doesn't have any beautiful ornaments on her head, so I have time to take her out to buy some beautiful headdresses and better marital fat gouache." ”

Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.

When Ma Lin arrived in the front hall, Wu Xiang was drinking tea, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Senator Wu came here today, and the insider bought good wine today." Ma Lin smiled deliberately.

Wu Xiang shouted: "Now that there is no taste for any good wine, the political envoy is still in the mood to drink?" ”

“。。” Ma Lin glared at him.

"Li Jun is dead." Wu Xiang stomped his feet and said, "I have already sent someone to inform Han Guan." ”

"What?" Ma Lin was struck by lightning.

It's big or small.

Han Guan originally only had about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which were his subordinates in the former capital of Guangxi, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people were officials and soldiers from other parts of the imperial court who followed Li Jun.

Li Jun is also the supreme military commander designated by Zhu Neng to stay.

Now that Li Jun is dead, the supreme military commander can let Han Guan continue to do it, but whether Li Jun's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses will give face, whether he can command the move, and whether he will have other ideas, this is a big question.

Of course, Ma Lin knows the seriousness of this problem.

Li Jun's subordinates came from all directions, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan, Shandong and other provinces, and they were originally relatively obedient under Li Jun's control, but now that Li Jun is dead, who can guarantee that these people can be suppressed.

Han Guan can't either.

Han Guan stayed in Guangxi for a few years, and returned to Beijing for a few years, and in the past ten years, he has not been to the above four provinces.

"It's over, it's over—who knows the news now?" Ma Lin's mood became even more irritable.

Li Jun didn't have a house in Guilin, and after he led the troops to stay in Guilin this time, Ma Lin assigned him a house next to Wu Xiang's house, and asked Wu Xiang to take care of it on his behalf.

Therefore, Wu Xiang was the first to be notified by Li Jun's personal soldiers.

Wu Xiang said that he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and asked Li Jun's personal soldiers not to publicize it first, and then he sent his cronies to inform Han Guan, and he himself came to Ma Lin's house, but he estimated that Li Jun's personal soldiers might inform Li Jun's henchmen and generals.

After all, Li Jun's personal soldiers must have more trust in the people in the army in terms of trustworthiness.

But if this thing gets out, it's not a good thing.

I don't know if the soldiers in the city will have all kinds of ideas.

After all, Xu Zhong was coerced and helped, and the news that he led more than 50,000 of his subordinates to surrender to the king of Han has spread throughout the city.

After Ma Lin listened, he felt that this Guilin City was even more unstoppable.

But Wu Xiang suddenly came to the door to say this in person, and he couldn't help but look up at Wu Xiang and found that Wu Xiang was also staring at him.

The two civil servants looked at each other for a while, and each felt that the other was a little weak.

Ma Lin couldn't help but think that he had only been in Yunnan for less than a year, and Wu Xiang had been in Yunnan for four years.

Ma Lin thought for a while and said decisively: "The situation is very bad now, as soon as Uncle Xiangcheng dies, tens of thousands of troops in the city are leaderless, and it is easy to mutiny." ”

"The lower official is afraid of this, so he wants to discuss it with the adults." Wu Xiang immediately said.

"The temporary blockade of the news is not a long-term time, and tomorrow at the latest, everyone will not see Xiangchengbo, and they will inevitably be suspicious." Ma Lin suddenly thought that Wu Xiang was calling Li Jun just now, but not Xiangcheng Bo.

Wu Xiang didn't dare to call him by his name before, even if the two of them called Li Jun in private, they were both called Xiangcheng Bo.

Wu Xiang said: "The imperial court has suffered successive fiascos, and the morale is already poor, and once Li Jun dies, the army will inevitably be in chaos, and Guilin will not be able to hold it." ”

"Han Guan can't control the soldiers and horses in the provinces."

Ma Lin said quietly: "Is there any way for Senator Wu?" ”

Wu Xiang hesitated, and said stubbornly: "Rather than surrendering after being broken by the army of King Han, it is better to surrender as soon as possible." ”

Ma Lin suddenly glared at him.

After Wu Xiang said it, he was not afraid, and he glared at him.

The two stared wide-eyed.

After a few breaths, Ma Lin smiled bitterly, shook his head, suddenly clenched his fists, bowed in the direction of Jingshi, and then sighed: "Your Majesty will know, if we don't want to defend Guilin, we really can't hold it, the old and young in the family are here, not to mention that we can't bear to see the people suffer." ”

Wu Xiang wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "My lord is also for the sake of the people, calm down the war as soon as possible, return the people to peace, and go down to the officials for hundreds of thousands of people in Guilin City, thank you." ”

Having said that, the two have a heart-to-heart connection.

Fall.

Hurry down.

The whole of Guangxi has fallen, and both of them are bald-headed political envoys and bald senators, so it's not a fool not to descend.

But the two of them don't have the right to fight, how to descend, how to descend is also a problem, and it needs to be studied carefully.

In terms of leading troops to fight, the two of them together are far inferior to Han Guan, but in terms of officialdom intrigues and tricks, ten Han Guan are not as good as these two.

On the other side, Han Guan was also like a bolt from the blue after receiving Wu Xiang's notice.

Because the main general left by Zhu Neng is Li Jun, Li Jun controls the most soldiers and horses.

Special mother, at that time, Han Guan stomped his feet and scolded his mother, as the commander of the war, he must know that this matter is very serious, and if he doesn't do it, he will mutiny immediately.

This Li Jun will not die sooner or later, and he will die now, Han Guan really has the heart to scold his mother.

If he died earlier, Zhu Neng would hand over the command of the army to himself in public, and the generals in the city would definitely have no objections.

Now Li Jun is dying in the position of the main general, which is too disgusting.

"Who else did Senator Wu notify?" Han Guan immediately asked the visitor: "Who else knows now?" ”

"I don't know if it's a little one." People don't know.

"Hey." Han Guan hurriedly led a team of soldiers out of the house, wanting to go to Li Jun's house first to have a look and try to block the news.

When he arrived at Li Jun's house quickly, there were few people in Li Jun's family, only Li Jun's own soldiers were there.

Han Guan called his soldiers over and asked about it, and made sure that Li Jun had a sudden illness.

Now they are guarding the Li Mansion and not letting ordinary people approach for the time being.

Han Guan asked, who else knows?

A pro-soldier has already gone to inform Li Jun of his cronies in the army.

Li Jun was in Jiangxi Capital before, so there is a commander who knows the same knowledge and commands affairs, and he can be regarded as his confidant.

However, the following guards followed Xu Zhong to Yongzhou before, and the king of Han was surrendered in Yongzhou.

Yu Xingzhou, one of the main envoys of the Yongzhou mutiny, was from the Jiangxi Guard.

Therefore, there are not many henchmen and generals of Li Jun in the city.

Han Guan felt even more troublesome when he heard it.

Because Wu Xiang was on the side, he ran to Wu Xiang's house again, but found that Wu Xiang was not at home, saying that he was going out.

Han Guan's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do now.

He said that he would call the commanders of the battalions, he didn't have this right, he was not the commander-in-chief.

If you don't stabilize the battalions, I'm afraid something will happen.

After thinking about it, he decided to find the political envoys on the left and right sides and ask them to come forward and gather the commanders of the battalions together.

Yes, there is also a King of Jingjiang.

Han Guan suddenly thought of King Jingjiang.

In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Lao Zhu divided the princes into the feudal kings of various places, and his nephew Zhu Shouqian was named the king of Jingjiang.

After Zhu Shouqian's death, his son Zhu Zanyi attacked the title in the second year of Jianwen, but because of the battle of Jingyan, it was not until Zhu Di ascended the throne that he did not go to Guilin in the third year of Yongle (1403).

It is said that Zhu Zanyi Zhu Zanyi is cautious and studious, and has learned the way to govern the country, Zhu Neng and Xu Zhong and other generals have just arrived in Guilin, and they took everyone to meet Zhu Zanyi, and there were many provincial generals who went with them at that time, and most of them were at the level of commanders, and Zhu Zanyi also expressed his position in public and supported the imperial court.

But that's not the point.

When the King of Jingjiang was established, Taizu also gave the King of Jingjiang three guards, namely the three guards of Guangxi, and the King of Jingjiang was the only county king in the Ming Dynasty who had three guards.

However, there were not many soldiers and horses of the three guards at that time, like Zhu Di himself, King Ning, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, etc., and there were more than 10,000 people in the three guards.

The history of the three guards of the king of Jingjiang is recorded as more than 1,360 soldiers and soldiers, more than 3,460 family members, a total of more than 5,000 people.

After it was passed to Zhu Zanyi, when Jianwen attacked the seal in the second year, the imperial court dismissed the three guards of the king of Jingjiang, and then a large number of officers of the three guards were transferred to the provinces.

Therefore, when Zhu Neng took them to meet the King of Jingjiang that day, many generals from various provinces went there, because they were all the three guards of the King of Jingjiang.

Can Zhu Zanyi be invited to come out to preside over the overall situation, and with the identity and prestige of King Jingjiang, maybe he can stabilize the morale of the army?

As soon as Li Jun died, there was an undercurrent surging in the city of Guilin, the civil officials wanted to surrender, and Han Guan wanted to fight.
