In the middle of the Jingshi, a small house was lit up all night.

The layout of the house shows that its owner had an extraordinary interest in the war effort.

On the wall opposite the entrance to the house hangs a large picture, a sword on the left, and a number of psalms on the right, which can be seen to be the work of the owner of the room.

It doesn't matter what the style is, but almost all of these poems are related to the matter of swords and soldiers, and the atmosphere of Jin Ge Iron Horse from the pavement.

In the center of the room stood two people, one fat and one thin, the thin official threw himself on the table and wrote and drew on a map, while the fatter official was reading with a piece of paper in his hand.

"I'm afraid the world is really going to be in chaos."

With a soft sound, the fat official put down the love newspaper in his hand and sighed:

"Jiangnan actually gave birth to such a huge man, even Inspector Lu was defeated by him, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was just a little-known general on the other side...... The courage of the thieves and the sharpness of firearms are really rare. In this way, Jiangnan is in danger! If Jiangnan is in danger, then Daming is in danger! The court even urged Lu Dushi to send troops, but now it was good, not only failed to recover Jiangnan, but even tens of thousands of troops were wiped out. ”

"I just don't know how Your Majesty will respond to tomorrow's court meeting? I'm afraid that I will show the wrath of thunder again, but after the storm, who should take over the position of overseer? Governor Hong? I'm afraid that there will be no return. ”

The thin official stopped his pen, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the map, and if he looked carefully, it was actually Nan Zhili's map, and he was single-minded, and replied:

"The reason why rebellion can repeatedly defeat the official army is only their firearms...... Although I have not seen the real thing, but relying on intelligence, I can also know a thing or two, and the advanced firearms are far beyond the Ming Dynasty, and I even doubt that it is an exaggeration of the rout. ”

"However, I also don't believe that if someone can defeat Lu Dushi in such a crushing state at the level of command, then it is most likely due to his firearms...... In my opinion, if you want to defeat the rebels, you must not fight them in the field. ”

"In the field, the officers and soldiers are by no means their opponents."

"If the imperial court wants to win, the only way is to use the fortified city to hold on, and use the general's artillery to fight back, even if our army is inferior to the other party's firearms, but relying on the fortified city, it can also occupy a favorable position...... When the enemy's strength is exhausted, and then surprise the troops, hand-to-hand combat, there is a possibility of victory. ”

The fat official listened, and his face showed surprise:

"How do you know that? Could it be that you ......"

"I want to ask myself to release Nanzhi to lead the troops."

The thin official's gaze finally moved away from Yutu and looked at the fat official.

"Elemental, think twice!" The fat official's expression is eager:

"Today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang, hundreds of officials can't avoid it! Do you see that since the news was delivered, who among the hundred officials has mentioned the restoration of the capital? elemental, why bother to be the enemy of this giant, it's hard to win! ”

"I'm already fifty-six out of fifty, and if I continue to stumble, my life will be over."

The thin official's face showed a look of determination and yearning.

"I've always loved the military, and now that I finally have the opportunity to show my abilities, how can I make them go away? You need to know that the times make heroes! ”

"Even if I die, if I can show my ambitions, I am willing."

……

The next day, the morning meeting.

After Emperor Wuxing angrily reprimanded the officials and generals related to this battle, and sent a group of officials and generals to prison, he also asked who could be qualified to face such a big Kou.

For a moment, the audience fell silent.

No one spoke.

Lu Xiangsheng was defeated in the first battle, and the news was too shocking.

For a long time, he has been regarded as the two famous generals of the Ming Dynasty together with Hong Chengchou, and his prestige has been fought in the wars against the enemy and the grassland tribes again and again. But now, so did you lose? Moreover, it is still the most tragic existence - the defeat of the army, I don't know my own life and death, most of them died in the chaos of the army.

But no one wants to be this bird, and now the attitude of the Ming officials towards the rebellious southeast has been reversed one hundred and eighty degrees.

From the original "just a mere rebel army," "how can my big soldiers be cowardly in front of a small rebel army," and "the Yan family is just a fat sheep, and if you attack it, you can make a fortune," to the present, all the generals are frightened, and no one dares to look south anymore, and even in some cities around Nanjing, there has been a phenomenon of a large number of officials resigning.

It's just that the emperor generously shouldered the burden of their food and lodging.

But even so, it can't contain the resignation, which shows the influence of this battle.

The court was quiet, and the emperor's head was also bursting with green tendons.

He didn't expect that besides him, there were people in Daming who could make them so afraid.

It's just a failure, so fearful!

was about to attack, but a voice suddenly came out of the ranks of the ministers, spreading in the silent ranks, which seemed so different:

"Give me money and food for soldiers and horses, and I will be alone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Who are the speakers?

The right squire of the military department, Yuan Chonghuan!

……

Zhejiang, when the news of the big victory came, all parts of the country were also in celebration.

Although the people under the rule of the family know that the family is strong, but the opponent is the huge dynasty after all, who is not afraid? I don't have a bottom in my heart.

Even the landlords and gentry of some prefectures and counties were ready to fight back, and when the whale fell, they were ready to grab the wealth and wealth of the sky.

So when the news of the victory came, there were different reactions from all over the country. The people under the rule of the family were rejoicing in their victory, while the landlords and gentry were amazed - as powerful as the imperial court, they lost to a family, and then they could only hide their ambitions.

Yan Ling's reaction was mediocre, he had already guessed the ending.

Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a great general, or in the late Ming Dynasty of the original time and space, he can be said to be one of the most capable commanders in the late Ming Dynasty, a famous general under Chongzhen.

However, even if he is such a figure, he is limited by history after all, and the firearms and equipment and the quality of soldiers of the Luzon army under his command have surpassed this era, which is no longer something that can be competed with by one person.

It was not Qu Yuanju, the commander of the Seventh Army, who defeated Lu Xiangsheng, but the torrent of the times.

For Lu Xiangsheng, who was seriously injured and captured, he ordered to be treated well, and he was not allowed to wait slowly, and he also had a good impression of this historical figure, but it was not worth dying like this.

And with the threat lifted, many things are finally starting to work.

Yan Ling first ordered Yan Yinghui to announce the establishment of the "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Government", and then took out the examination institute that had been built.

Next, it's time to recruit officials.
