When Chen Wang walked out of King Zhou's mansion, the time was almost up, and there was already silence in Kaifeng City.

"This great victory was able to inflict a heavy blow on the army of ten thousand thieves, which is of great significance to the current situation in Henan."

A few days ago, Gao Mingheng had been frowning and looking solemn.

But now Gao Mingheng is full of red light, obviously in a good mood.

Gao Mingheng stood outside the palace gate, holding Chen Wang's hand quite enthusiastically, and said with a smile.

"The division of tigers and wolves under General Chen, when the famous general of the real world, if there is no General Chen to rush thousands of miles to help, Kaifeng ...... I'm afraid that there will be a danger of falling into the hands of thieves......"

Gao Mingheng's expression was complicated, and the time of the past few days could be said to be like years for him.

When he heard that the main force of Henan soldiers and horses was defeated in Zhengzhou, the governor Li Xianfeng was killed, and hundreds of thousands of people's troops were rushing under the leadership of Li Yan, he had already prepared for the worst.

The reputation behind him is extremely important for the scholars of this era, especially for officials.

Leaving a name in history is the expectation of countless people.

All the officials and generals want to leave a good name in the history books, not notoriety and bad name.

Sitting on the loss of relatives and losing the city, it will undoubtedly be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, which Gao Mingheng can never bear.

But who knows, the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Chen Wang's arrival turned the entire battle situation and turned the situation into a safe one.

not only defended Kaifeng, but even won a big victory, severely damaged the main force of the Wanmin Army, and made the siege of Kaifeng hastily ended.

Now the remnants of the Wanmin Army have left Kaifeng and fled to other places.

After this battle, the good news spread to the Beijing Division, and his high name was not only no fault, but also meritorious.

fell together, from hell to heaven, all because of Chen Wang's arrival, Gao Mingheng naturally had a gentle attitude towards Chen Wang.

At this time, Gao Mingheng also had some emotion.

"This battle can be won, not the work of the last general, if there is no patrol to recruit social soldiers, mobilize the people, and stabilize the city, it is difficult to hold the city with the last general alone."

In the original process, the former governor Li Xianfeng was removed from his post and investigated, and the Ming court appointed Gao Mingheng, who was the governor at that time, as the new governor.

The current situation is very different from history, but the only person who can take over as governor of Henan is Gao Mingheng.

Now that the situation in Henan is complicated and rebellions are rampant, a governor who is familiar with Henan's affairs and has a reputation to control Henan's generals is needed.

Except for the current Henan Patrol Gao Mingheng, there is no such person in the entire DPRK and the DPRK.

Gao Mingheng now has the exploits of defending the city, and the matter of becoming the governor of Henan's yamen can almost be said to be a certainty.

Chen Wang, who knows the history of this matter, can surmise that he naturally has to deal with the relationship with Gao Mingheng.

Gao Mingheng has been in the sea for a long time, and he may have expected it, so he has been releasing goodwill from the beginning.

Gao Mingheng is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

What kind of simple characters can a person who can patrol a province?

Chen Wang's eyes drooped, and he also replied to Gao Mingheng with a smile.

At the same time, he observed the expression on Gao Mingheng's face with his residual vision, and wanted to see some clues from Gao Mingheng's face.

But Gao Mingheng just had a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed, but he couldn't see the eyes inside.

Chen Wang shifted his gaze and shifted the topic to the other side, looking at a middle-aged military general next to him.

"Moreover, if there is no General Chen's troops to attack and help, there will be no good opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Ten Thousand Thieves Army."

The general soldier Chen in Chen Wang's mouth is naturally not himself, but refers to Chen Yongfu, who is now the deputy general of Kaifeng City Guard.

Chen Yongfu is tall, with slender arms, a mighty face, a faint evil aura between his eyebrows, and he is wearing an arrow suit, which is very dignified.

In history, the reason why Kaifeng City was able to hold on for so long was that Chen Yongfu really contributed a lot.

Li Zicheng could not attack Kaifeng for a long time, and later when he was attacking the city, his left eye was shot by an arrow.

In the records, there are different accounts, some say that Chen Yongfu was shot, some say that he was shot by Chen Yongfu's son Chen De, and some say that he was shot by a pawn under his command.

Chen Yongfu in history, his performance is also remarkable, and he has some ability.

The cavalry of the Ming Army, which suddenly appeared in the northwest of the Wanmin Army, made it difficult for the Wanmin Army to take care of the head and tail, and the cavalry of the Ming Army, which was led by Chen Yongfu to go to the Yangwu area north of the Yellow River to quell the rebellion.

As early as the beginning, when Chen Wang had just entered Kaifeng Mansion, he had already sent people to Yangwu to find Chen Yongfu and convey to Chen Yongfu the news that the Wanmin Army was about to besiege Kaifeng City.

In fact, Chen Yongfu had already rushed to the northern part of Kaifeng City two days ago.

Then, according to the situation at that time, Chen Wangcai formulated a plan for today's dusk, so that Chen Yongfu could cooperate with the Wanmin Army outside the city.

"The general's words are serious, this battle is only used as a partial strategy, and it can break through the army of thieves, or it is all because of the benefits of the armor and cavalry under the general's command."

Hearing Chen Wang mention himself, Chen Yongfu didn't dare to hold it up.

Although Chen Yongfu and Chen Wang are not subordinate to each other, Chen Wang is not only the general commander of a town, but also the general who hangs the seal, which can be regarded as two levels of mediocrity.

In today's world, the commanders and commanders in the guard sequence may not know the way to be officials.

But there is no way for the generals of the battalion to not understand.

can be the deputy general of the city guard, or the deputy general of the city guard of Kaifeng, Chen Yongfu is naturally not an unreasonable and sophisticated person.

Now the situation in Henan is extremely complicated, as the governor Li Xianfeng defeated Zhengzhou, and was even killed by the rebels.

As the chief soldier of Henan, Wang Shaoyu was killed by the mutiny and lost Luoyang.

In today's Henan, Gao Mingheng, as a patrol, actually took over Henan's government affairs.

And Henan's military affairs, if nothing else.

It will inevitably fall on Chen Wang, the general of the thief.

Now Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Nanzhili are fighting each other.

Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, led the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi to pursue Li Zicheng.

And Yang Sichang led the battalions of various towns to chase into Sichuan and clear Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.

Liaodong in the north is also turbulent, and I heard that Jiannu has gathered heavy troops, and it seems that they are preparing to attack Jinzhou again.

The border affairs are critical, the war is about to break out, the soldiers and horses on the nine sides have begun to be requisitioned, all the martial law along the Great Wall has been put under martial law, and the military towns in the north such as Baoding are also rumored and extremely tense.

In Henan and the surrounding areas today, except for Chen Wang, there is no one else who can provoke this girder.

I am afraid that after the good news of Kaifeng reaches the Beijing Division, the imperial court will appoint Chen Wang to preside over the affairs of the purging and suppression.

Considering that he might listen to Chen Wang's subordinates in the future, Chen Yongfu was naturally cautious and did not dare to slack off.

"General Chen is right, General Chen's soldiers are also outstanding in this battle, and they are indispensable, and they are not humble."

Gao Mingheng laughed, and followed Chen Wang's words, and also praised Chen Yongfu.

For a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"It's late tonight, and it's in front of the mansion again, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

After talking to each other for some time, Gao Mingheng was the first to mention the intention of saying goodbye.

Chen Wang and Chen Yongfu naturally wouldn't stop them, the two stood in place, watching Gao Mingheng enter the sedan chair and leave, and then they got on their horses.

Chen Yongfu's barracks is in the north, and Chen Wang's is in the west, and the two are not on the same path, so they are also separated at the palace gate.

When I talked to Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu before, the rest of the civil and military officials also left early.

So when Chen Wang walked towards the barracks, there was a peaceful area all the way.

Walking through the streets, the only thing you can hear is the sound of horses' hooves stomping across the ground.

Riding on the war horse, Chen Wang's body rose and fell with the walking of the war horse.

The singing and dancing in the palace of King Zhou were leveled and magnificent, forming a strong contrast with everything he saw outside Kaifeng City, like a big stone pressing on his heart.

When he first entered the imperial palace in Beijing, Chen Wang did not have such thoughts.

As the face of a country, the palace should be luxurious, and the palace should be magnificent.

However, when he first entered the palace, Chen Wang did not feel much luxury and magnificence.

When he first entered the palace, Chen Wang only felt that the Forbidden City was foggy, and some places were even in disrepair, and the colors of many buildings were no longer bright.

The banquets given are also some home-cooked dishes, which are quite simple.

The palace maids and officials, many people's clothes, are also deep, full of twilight.

It is enough to see the financial difficulties and the country's fatigue.

However, in the palace of King Zhou, it is extremely luxurious, resplendent and brilliant, and it is a scene of extravagance and erosion.

I am afraid that this kind of scene is the same in other palaces.

Not only the royal palace, but the reason why the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is decreasing day by day, is getting less and less.

There is also a reason for preferential treatment of scholars, becoming a talent can be exempted from a part of the tax, and after becoming a lifter and a jinshi, they will have the privilege of being exempted from taxes, which is a kind of preferential treatment for them.

As a result, a large number of people have just become lifters, and a large number of people have come to take refuge and deposit their fields in their names to avoid state taxes.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the cause of disastrous taxation, in addition to administrative corruption, was the burden of supporting the clan and the preferential treatment of scholars.

These two items made the tax revenue of the middle and late Ming Dynasty extremely reduced, and it was not even enough to maintain the normal operation of the state apparatus.

All the way forward, the archways and buildings with carved beams and paintings made Chen Wang's heart deeper and deeper.

The night was deep, Chen Wang closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Since ancient times, there is no one more righteous than Han Ming.

The mountains and rivers are dying of China, and the sun and the moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty.

If there was no Ming Dynasty, perhaps Chinese culture would have been completely cut off.

The sixteen states of Yanyun have lost hundreds of years, and the people who live in the local area have changed their customs and lost everything that once existed.

There is a sentence in the poem Xin Qiji once wrote: "Under the Buddha Shrine, a crow shrine drum!"

Buddha Fox Temple, the palace established by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty after Tuoba Tao defeated the Liu Song army of the Southern Dynasty, was later called the Buddha Fox Temple.

Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong was even more defeated by Tuoba Tao, which made Tuoba Tao drink the Yangtze River, a mighty northern expedition, but won the northern Gu in a hurry.

Later, the local people worshipped the former invaders as gods, forgetting the former national hatred and family hatred.

And even with the Ming Dynasty, many cultures and inheritances were still lost in the turmoil and catastrophe that followed.

The costumes do not exist, the clothes are not there, and many times, people of later generations can only grope, deduce, imagine, and restore them from the broken classics and murals......

I don't know how long it took, Chen Wang felt a commotion in his ears, and it was getting louder and louder.

By the time Chen Wang opened his eyes, he was already in front of the camp gate of the barracks.

The celebration banquet in the palace of King Zhou has ended, but the celebration banquet in the military camp has not ended.

The hour had passed, and the soldiers who had come down from the city walls to change their guards had just given time to rest.

When they entered the barracks, they were soon greeted by their companions, and all the delicacies of wine and meat, which had been rare in the past, were placed on the table of the camp, waiting for them to feast unbridledly.

Alcohol is not allowed in the army, but at such a celebration banquet, Chen Wang still decided to give out a certain amount of alcohol to help the banquet.

The generals of all the departments also put off their usual serious expressions, and with smiles on their faces, they sat around talking and laughing with the soldiers.

"General!"

When he saw Chen Wang walking in from outside the barracks, along the way, all the soldiers and generals stood up and saluted Chen Wang with excited expressions.

Chen Wang got off his horse, didn't hold any shelf, and saluted the generals and colonels.

Chen Wang's memory is very good, and he can remember the names of many people.

When passing by everyone, Chen Wang would give a few words of encouragement to the generals and soldiers who had an impression from time to time.

Chen Wang's move was naturally exchanged for the excitement of a group of generals.

As the most ordinary soldiers, they almost never remember the names of their commanders.

Chen Wang not only remembered their names, but even remembered some of their deeds, how not to make everyone grateful.

All the way to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, Chen Wang took a bottle of wine glass from the hands of the guards, raised it above his head, and signaled to the soldiers who followed.

"Everyone, I drank a little too much at King Zhou's banquet, so I'll rest first today."

Chen Wang's words caused a group of soldiers around him to laugh, and they also raised the wine in their hands and gestured to Chen Wang.

"The general is well!"

Chen Wang raised his wine glass and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, which once again attracted a round of applause.

The sons and daughters of the army naturally admired heroism, and they also drank the wine in their cups and paid the highest respect to their generals.

The curtain fell, separating the noise of the tent outside.

The tent was brightly lit, and a group of soldiers were guarding all over the tent.

And in the center of the big tent, Gao Qian, who was a guerrilla, was kneeling on the cold ground at this time.
