After saying some words of encouragement to the generals. Hong Chengchou's tone became a little heavy, and he tried his best to use concise and easy-to-understand words to explain the importance of encircling and suppressing Li's uncle and nephew, "Since the end of the Apocalypse, the Celestial Empire has been plagued by internal and external troubles, and there has been no peace, and the thieves have become more and more numerous, and the catastrophe has become more and more intense......

His mood also became heavy as he spoke, and his chest was like a thousand pounds of boulders, "In recent years, the people have been displaced, like the deeper the water, the hotter the fire. The disaster is getting worse...... Often, the land is thousands of miles away, the cooking smoke is cut off, and the people are miserable to dissect the remains and plan, and the children are eaten. ”

Hong Chengchou, as an important minister of the country, especially the commander of the army, knew that the national situation was becoming more and more difficult, and he said bitterly, "The country has never been exhausted in the past 300 years, and the Japanese people are as exhausted as they are exhausted; Since the ascension to the pole today, it has entered the fortress four times so far, surrounded by three Beijing divisions, and the general is the general of the army, and the external and internal troubles are naturally vivid. ”

The atmosphere in the superintendent's line was even more depressing, and people were all bowing their heads to listen to the training, and the atmosphere did not dare to grow. If the thieves are not eliminated, then the inside cannot be taken care of, and the disaster of the Southern Song Dynasty is inevitable. Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of the two ancestors, the fortunes of the country have now taken a turn for the better, the giant thief Gao Yingxiang has been ambushed in the autumn of the previous year, and Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and the bandits who shot the sky have also been appeased. The other remnants of the thieves are either dead or scattered, or they are waiting and seeing, and they dare not be rampant as in the past. ”

Hong Chengchou said that the style of painting here changed, "Only the thief Li Zicheng and the uncle and nephew of the bandit 'a tiger' are stubborn, vowing to confront the heavenly soldiers, and there are no signs of surrender without fear." This thief has been repeatedly suppressed for nearly a year, and he is already exhausted from running for his life, and there are only a few thousand thieves left to fight, and the rest are all old, weak, women, and children; now the soldiers have used their lives to intercept them on all sides, and have driven this remnant of thieves into the ...... net.

I only hope that the kings will inspire the soldiers, and fight bravely to kill the thief in front of the battle tomorrow, and do not let a thief get away with it. My generation reported to Jun En, Xia An Li Shu, and Guangqian Yuhou to fight here! You hope to capture the giant thieves Li Zicheng, Li Guo, and Liu Zongmin, and sacrifice them to His Majesty...... Even if they can't be captured alive, they must be killed and passed on to the head of the capital. The emperor has repeatedly issued edicts, and he is very responsible, and I hope that all the monarchs will not live up to their wishes!"

Hong Chengchou, who has always adhered to the principle that "joy and anger are invisible, likes and dislikes are not expressed, joys and sorrows are not overflowing, and life and death are not subordinate to heaven", and his feelings of grief and indignation are overflowing at this time. All the generals in the hall couldn't help but secretly secretly have a lot of his handsome uncle face.

The style of painting changed abruptly, Hong Chengchou's face suddenly became very grim, and he had to stand up from the Taishi chair covered with tiger skin. Nervous, the civil and military officials sitting in their chairs also quickly stood up when they saw this.

Seeing the murderous intent in the Supervisor's cold eyes, he looked at all the generals and shouted: "Tomorrow's battle will be commanded by Lord Sun, and the headquarters will also come to supervise the battle in person." Generals big and small, if there is a weak battle and cowering in battle, there is Shang Fangjian in the headquarters and courtyard, and it will not be tolerated!"

At the moment when Hong Chengchou spoke, some of the generals playfully exchanged cloudy and uncertain glances with each other, and now they couldn't help but glance at Shang Fang's sword leaning against the middle of the screen. Since Hong Chengchou was in the spring of the eighth year of Chongzhen, when he was the supervisor of the military department, Chongzhen gave him this Shangfang sword and let him act cheaply.

This imperial sword can be used to cut the lead of the generals below the general army. However, in the following years, Hong Chengchou only invited Shang Fang's sword to supervise the battle twice; the first time was in July of the previous year, when he was fighting against Gao Yingxiang in Gai County; and the second time was in the hall of today's superintendent.

The generals who are familiar with Hong Chengchou, this time they saw the severity on his face and the resoluteness of his tone, and they were all frightened in their hearts, which was also something that the generals had never had since they fought with Inspector Hong for several years, so this time the shock in everyone's hearts was even greater.

At the same time that Hong Chengchou stepped into the city of Tongguan today, the Tartars who had been feared by Chongzhen and his ministers had completed the first strategic goal, and they concentrated the main military forces of the Ming Dynasty in the area of Gyeonggi; except for leaving a group of men and horses to contain the Ming Xuan, Da and Guanning Iron Cavalry, most of the rest of the troops were divided into troops to attack the Central Plains. Along the way, they burned cities, killed and wounded defenders, plundered people, cattle and property, and left little grass in their pass, all in the same way as the "three-light policy" used in another alien invasion in later generations.

Hong Chengchou swept over the faces of each general with a blazing gaze, and saw that everyone had a dignified and fearful look, and was secretly satisfied, so he slowly sat down, and waved his hand to call the civil and military officials to sit down again.

He turned to Sun Chuanting and asked with a smile, "Lord Sun, what instructions do you have for the generals?"

Sun Chuanting was not humble when he heard this, and turned sharply to the group of generals on the right. The commanders knew that he was much stricter with his subordinates than Governor Hong, and when the generals saw that he was about to give a lecture, they all stood up with a slap on the ground.

Sun Chuanting smiled slightly and motioned for the general soldiers to sit down, but no one dared to sit down. He said in an extremely ordinary tone, "The instructions of the Lord of the Imperial Army, I hope that all the generals will remember the names of those thieves in their hearts. If the princes are ineffective in fighting and the traitors slip through the net, not only will the kings not be tolerated by the military law, but even the Fuyuan will not escape the punishment...... In short, it is a sentence that in tomorrow's battle, the giant thieves such as Li Thief Zicheng, 'a tiger' Li Guo and Liu Zongmin will be captured or beheaded, and no one will be allowed to escape!"

The commander-in-chief, adjutant generals, and staff generals bowed down and replied in unison: "Obey Jun's orders!"

At this time, Sun Chuanting's face seemed to have a layer of frost condensed, and he suddenly said loudly, "If the thieves, uncles, nephews, and other thieves die in the chaos, you must also order the soldiers to carefully search for and verify that they are correct, and be sure to cut off the heads of the bandits so that they can be sent to Beijing for inspection." ”

"Yes!" replied loudly in the lobby.

Sun Chuanting bowed slightly, made the chief soldiers, deputy generals, and staff generals who were standing on the side sit down, and turned his face to look at Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, waiting for the last instructions of the governor.

Hong Chengchou calmly stroked his beard under his chin, and his demeanor was graceful without the tension of the imminent war. Although he has not yet entered the cabinet, he has already cultivated the so-called prime minister's bearing in his heart; at this moment, in his heart, he still does not see tomorrow's big battle as smooth as catching a turtle in an urn like Sun Chuanting, and he is still worried that the cunning Li uncle and nephew will take advantage of the chaos to break through and escape, but his worry cannot be revealed to his subordinate generals.

"Do you all know the appearance of Uncle Li Thief, Uncle and Nephew, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and other giant thieves?" his question was calm and homely.
