"The emperor is angry, and the ministers are wronged. The minister is thinking about Nanming wholeheartedly, and he hasn't received any benefits from anyone? The most the minister thinks about is that one day, the emperor can reunify the Ming Dynasty and reproduce the scene of the prosperous era! Chen believes that in order to accomplish this goal, it is worth paying a big price. Once one day the emperor reunifies the Ming Dynasty, then he can wave the army to the south, at that time, it is said to kill whoever is killed, and whoever is said to be destroyed will be destroyed, so as to revitalize the prestige and prestige of my Ming Dynasty. At that time, the history books will definitely fill in a heavy stroke, long live. ”

Wang Ji knew that his words today had touched the bottom line of Yingzong. But if you want it to happen, you have to do it.

Kuang Ye's ability is so strong, he is still helpless to take the matter of Yunnan, even if the entire Nanming is dispatched everywhere, it is just to maintain the current situation, how difficult will it be to win the victory?

What kind of ability he has, Wang Ji still has the name of self-knowledge at this point. What even Kuang Ye can't do, how can he do it well. Even if you can't do it well, you can only think of other ways, otherwise, don't say that one day you will go further and become the secretary of the military department, even if you want to keep your current position, it will be difficult to do it.

In addition, the envoys of Jiaozhi had already met themselves, and threatened that as long as the Ming Dynasty was willing to marry, he would marry the princess to King Li Li of Jiaozhi, and recognize their autonomous status. Cochin will retreat and retreat.

Jiaozhi knew the bottom line, and Wang Ji had an idea in his heart. In order for things to be done in one blow, he thought about showing favor to Xiping Hou, once he could get the favor and help of the other party, it must have played a very positive role in stabilizing his position in the court.

It was precisely with such contacts and thoughts before that he dared to say those seemingly rebellious words in the court today. It seems to be against the ancestral teachings of the ancestors, but if you think about it carefully, it can be the best way to solve the problem at hand.

It's just to send a princess, recognize the sovereignty of a country, and seal a prince with a different surname, so that you can stop the soldiers in Yunnan, take out your energy to recuperate, and prepare for the future attack on the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Knowing what Yingzong wanted, Wang Ji decided to take the risk. Speaking of which, he was also forced to be helpless and wanted to get a high position, but when it came to commanding a war, he didn't have the ability to command thousands of armies, so he had to make this decision.

Wang Ji even knew that he was the one who instigated this suggestion, and he didn't know how he would be recorded in the history books. But whatever? Let's get the post of secretary of the military department first, what if Nanming can really unify the entire Ming Dynasty in the future? At that time, wouldn't he be going to become a powerful minister for the ages?

is the so-called wealth and danger, this time Wang Ji can be said to have made a heavy bet. It's just that whether things can develop as he expected, everything depends on whether he can convince Yingzong Zhu Qizhen first.

Wang Ji's voice still echoed in the hall, and Zhu Qizhen did not get angry at this moment, but became much quieter.

The situation in Yunnan has become more and more intense, and from the beginning to the present, more than 400,000 troops have been invested before and after, and they are only maintaining the relatively peaceful situation in front of them. If you want to achieve the final victory, I am afraid that you will have to send hundreds of thousands of troops to do it. If that were the case, wouldn't it be necessary to raise more troops and spend more money? Nanming's treasury is now about to bottom out, can it still hold on, and even if it persists, what will he get after this battle?

If Beiming takes the opportunity to enter, how to deal with it? Do you want to continue to be the king of a dead country?

To say yes or not to agree?

Zhu Qizhen was in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, you have to make a decision early, Nanming can't afford it now." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen seemed to be in a tangle, Wang Ji, who saw hope, shouted bluntly, looking like a loyal minister and a good general.

"Hey. That's it, let Wang Aiqing and Cao Aiqing handle the matter together, I can agree to their conditions, but they must also make a guarantee, that is, to help us deal with the king of Minzhuang, I will quickly put down the rebellion in Yunnan. Zhu Qizhen knew that it was not a good thing for Nanming to go on like this, and he could only agree to come down before thinking that there was no better way. As for how to record it in the history books, as long as he recuperates and recuperates, the day when he can truly unify the Ming Dynasty, what he does today will naturally become a wise move to endure humiliation and bear the burden.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen really agreed, Wang Ji kowtowed to the ground three times in a row, and he knew that from this moment on, his position should be stable. As long as the matter of Yunnan is resolved, it is certain that he will be the secretary of the military department.

Zhu Qizhen actually agreed to the request of the king and his relatives. threw Zu Xun aside, and as soon as the news came out, many courtiers were in an uproar, and many people burst into tears with a look of concern. They finally recognized the fact that the once powerful Ming and the powerful Ming no longer existed.

The sudden appearance of Wang Heqin, who had a different surname, and the subsequent fact that Wang Ji went from Kyoto to Yunnan, naturally ignored Yang Chendong, who was still outside Gaozhou Mansion, and only withdrew his authority from Zhu Qizhen to deal with the matter with Guan Ying and Ma Wei in Wuzhou Mansion.

Guan Ying and Ma Wei of Wuzhou Mansion received the holy decree. I also learned about some things that happened in Nanjing and Kyoto from some sources.

"How is it possible, although Kuang Shangshu is old, he is still in good health, and now that the chaos in Guangdong has been resolved, it should be the time to concentrate all efforts to solve the affairs of Yunnan, why should people rest?" Guan Ying, who got the news, looked incredulous, and there was a strong sense of indignation in his voice.

Ma Wei stood by and watched all this happen. But he didn't say anything.

In terms of rank, Ma Wei is a military attache of the third grade, much higher than the military department Langzhong Guan Ying, who is only the fifth grade.

I respected the other party before, but it was just because he was a close confidant of Kuang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the other party controlled the evaluation of the lower-level military attachés, so he could speak in his own career. But now, Kuang Ye is forced to stay at home, so this person's right to speak is obviously missing, and he can't be respected.

This is actually explained from the Guangdong Rebellion, but it can be seen from the fact that Guan Ying was not rewarded in the holy decree, and with Kuang Ye's loss of power, this person is afraid that he will also be left out in the cold.

In the officialdom, there have always been many icing on the cake, and few people who send charcoal in the snow. Even for his own career, Ma Wei didn't dare to get too close to Guan Ying, otherwise Wang Ji's squire would know, who knew if he would give himself small shoes to wear?

Guan Ying stood there and talked to himself for a while, until Ma Wei was a little impatient, and then he couldn't help but step forward and said: "General Guan, the holy decree says that we will go to Gaozhou Mansion to solve the problem of loyalty and courage, I think it is better to be sooner rather than later." ”

"Yes, the matter should be resolved as soon as possible, so that we can leave tomorrow." Guan Ying felt Ma Wei's deliberate estrangement from him, and he was afraid that if it weren't for Yang Chendong's matter had not been resolved, he would have to distance himself from him now. It's just that he himself wants to solve these things quickly, and then because he went to Kyoto to meet his mentor Kuang Ye, the two of them have the same demand at this point.

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare." What I'm afraid of is that Guan Ying doesn't go together, so that he will face Yang Chendong alone, and he will not have enough confidence in his heart. It's good to have this Guan Ying, and when things become things, it is natural to have their own share of the credit. If it doesn't work out, then just push it all on him, and think that this kind of result is what Wang Ji wants to see.

Ma Wei's changes and ideas, how can Guan Ying not see it. can become a person that Kuang Ye values and cultivates vigorously, how can he not have two times? He was also calculating Ma Wei. Such two people who cannot be of one mind and one mind conspire together on an errand make the event itself full of complexity and uncertainty.

Not to mention, this time it is Yang Chendong who is facing Yang Chendong, a person who is extremely excellent in all aspects, and before the matter has even begun, they are already destined to get no benefits.

What happened in Nanjing and Kyoto was quickly transmitted to Yang Chendong's ears through the Security Bureau. In the largest military tent outside Gaozhou Mansion, the first thing Yang Chendong did when he got the news was to arrange for his subordinates to go and buy food.

In the process of eliminating the Yellow Bandit Army this time, almost all the loot was obtained by Leng Feng, totaling nearly 10 million silver. With this money, it is naturally more than enough to buy some vegetables and meat from the surrounding large households. And Chang Jia and several other big merchants in the south who cooperate with the Tianwaitian Trading Company will also raise grain to send it, with these, there is no problem to meet the food problem of 8,000 people, even if Yingzong wants to have a mill and kill a donkey, then he will have a good time with these people.

There was no problem with eating, drinking, living and traveling, and Leng Feng took this opportunity to start intense training. And the main subject of this training is jungle warfare. For this reason, several barren mountains under the city of Gaozhou Mansion have become military forbidden places, and Yang Chendong and his people spent four days arranging everything and selecting the training venue and method. At this time, Guan Ying and Ma Wei had also come to the city of Gaozhou Mansion.

The two brought a total of more than 100 personal soldiers, and after appearing here, they did not come to see Yang Chendong for the first time, but went to Gaozhou Mansion first and found Yu Guang, the general of Shaozhou who temporarily managed things here.

The fact that the two arrived and did not come to visit them at the first time already showed their attitude. Maybe they just want to tell Yang Chendong in this way, you are no longer a minister, and you have to be a little measured when you start doing things, don't tear your face, everyone is not good-looking.
