What is comforting is that when Luo Po announced these disciplines and regulations on behalf of the military, no one stood up against them, and it seems that this seems to be unfair to some people, but if you want to succeed and want to gain something, how can you not get it for nothing? For those who don't have the ability, I'm afraid that if you give him a ninety-five style, he may not be able to survive on the cold battlefield.

Strict hierarchy is a very necessary thing in many cases, especially in the army, there is no clear hierarchy, who to listen to on the battlefield, once an army has two voices or even more, then no matter how strong it is, it is not far from extinction.

Yang Chendong was still digesting the captives who had just joined the temporary auxiliaries. Fortunately, such a thing happened before, whether it was a grievance meeting, or a variety of ideological education, as well as strict training, the improvement of food, the improvement of treatment and cohesion, a sense of return, etc., all played a big role, Yang Chendong believes that in a maximum of half a month, the new army of 5,000 will be integrated into this big family, in addition to the original disrupted establishment, passing on the help, the old with the new army soldiers and combat effectiveness should not be any problem.

The mercenaries are actively preparing here. Several other forces have not been idle.

Miao Jinlong suffered a big loss at the hands of mercenaries, and Zou Xiucai's words were even more important to him. The King of Miao, who was not much worse than his words, first adopted a defensive posture, firmly controlled his nearly 60,000 troops in the barracks, and at the same time sent people to ask King Min for grain and grass, reinforcements, and countermeasures.

......

The base camp of King Min temporarily chose Pingle Mansion as the corner.

Pingle Mansion is Shaozhou Mansion to the east, and after there is the forefront, that is, the Ganzhou Mansion where Zhu Huijun, the king of Yangzong, took the lead.

The biggest advantage of living in Pingle Mansion is that you can attack and retreat, and you don't need to worry about personal safety.

Judging from this point alone, Zhu Huixuan, the king of Min, is still very afraid of death.

After the death of his father Zhu Xuan, his two younger brothers, namely Zhu Huixuan, the king of Guangtong, and Zhu Huiyan, the king of Yangzong, did not get along with him, causing serious internal friction, and finally the suspicion of the court did not end well.

But history is history after all, and it is also written by people, and it is also limited by various objects, and sometimes it even depends on the personal preferences of the historian. Just like the Qing Yongzheng in later generations, there are various theories about whether he is the legitimate succession, but this does not prevent people from becoming a bridge in the prosperous era of Kangqian.

Zhu Huixuan is a person who is underestimated in history, otherwise, why would he inherit the throne of King Min. Some people may say that it is a natural thing for the eldest son to inherit, but how many eldest sons have not lived to the day when they should stand up?

Zhu Huixuan survived, not only that, but it was already a skill to raise such an army against Nanming and let it retreat one after another.

Unlike Miao Jinlong, Zhu Huixuan is naturally surrounded by talents, not to mention that his two younger brothers are helping him, and his subordinates are all ready. Just since this period of time, it has also absorbed a lot of elite talents. is like Yan Tao, one of the chief arresters of the former Criminal Department who escaped from the Beiming Jingshi, and now he is working under his account.

Yan Tao listened to Wu Yong's words, and after adding that his boss Yu Shiyue and Yang Chendong were not on good terms, he thought about seeking wealth and danger, and walked the tightrope.

However, Yang Chendong's strength was too strong, and in the end he had to be defeated and leave the country. After coming and going, he heard about the rise of King Min, and then ran over. Zhu Huixuan, who was in urgent need of employment, arranged him to his side, that is, one of the guards, and sometimes asked his opinion when it came to people and things related to Beiming.

In addition to Yan Tao, there are also people sent by the Northern Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Quan, the adopted son of Lu Gui, the commander of the Northern Ming Jinyi Guard, is also working for King Min. Unlike Yan Tao, he can't see the light of day, and can only come forward to make suggestions in secret or on some major matters.

A person is too powerful, and while he will make some friends, he will inevitably offend some enemies. Just like some people in the Northern Ming Dynasty, they have been looking forward to his death, in their opinion, only when Yang Chendong is dead, can they have a bright future, Daizong can truly and completely grasp the imperial power, and some people can share the benefits of power with Daizong Zhu Qiyu.

Zhou Quan was sent by Lu Gui, and naturally Zhu Qiyu also knew about his arrival, and he also belonged to the appreciators who turned a blind eye. To put it bluntly, he also hopes in his heart that Yang Chendong can die, and the best thing is that he can die in the realm of Nanming, so that he can do a lot of things.

It was precisely because of the arrival of Zhou Quan and Yan Tao that Zhu Huixuan, the king of Min, had a more intuitive understanding of Yang Chendong, so he did not immediately send reinforcements after getting Miao Jinlong's battle report, but called these two to help analyze the situation in front of him.

In a side hall of the Temporary Min Palace, Zhu Huixuan looked at Zhou Quan and Yan Tao with interest and asked, "Two, you always said that this loyal and courageous man was a tiger and wolf before, and now you have to face him, do you have any better suggestions?" ”

"By the way, not only do we attach importance to him, but Emperor Daizong attaches importance to him, and even Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the loser, also attaches importance to him. This king has already received the news, and it seems that Nanjing has agreed to give Yang Chendong the king. Before listening to the opinions, Zhu Huixuan told all the news he had gotten. Judging from this point alone, it is not a day or two that he has the intention of rebelling, and it seems that he has arranged a lot of manpower in the Southern Ming court.

Zhou Quan and Yan Tao, who heard this, first glanced at each other, and were a little frightened by Zhu Huixuan's power, especially Zhou Quan also thought that there would be any people in the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Of course, he would not ask such an idea, let alone say it. The two sides are now in the stage of cooperation, and on the surface they also need to be sincerely united.

Zhu Huixuan opened his mouth to ask, and as a subordinate and the two who came to help, he couldn't help but speak. But before expressing his position, Zhou Quan, who was born as a Jinyi guard, still asked a question first, "His Royal Highness King Min, isn't there news that Yang Chendong was assassinated and poisoned for a short time?" ”

It is not surprising that Zhou Quanneng asked such a question, although it is said that a strong Ming is divided into north and south, but because of the rush of time, many yamen are still connected with each other, especially important departments such as Jinyiwei, it is impossible to divide them so clearly at once. Regarding the rumors of Yang Chendong's stabbing and poisoning in Nanming Jinyiwei, it is not surprising that he knows a little.

"Not bad." Zhu Huixuan nodded, "This king has also heard such a statement. But didn't he die? As long as they are not dead, they are worth paying attention to, not to mention, sometimes dead people will turn the tables. ”

Zhu Huixuan would say this, and it was not completely groundless, but it was decided by the prudence of his character. This is also because he has heard a lot of stories, one of which is what Yang Chendong said himself, that is still in the immortal residence of the Northern Ming Jingshi, and he mentioned it when he appeared as the originator of the storyteller to talk about the Three Kingdoms. There was a saying that the dead Zhuge Liang deliberately made a blank book stained with poisonous water and said that it was a book from heaven in order to harm Ba Ma Yi, a powerful minister who was still in Wei at the time, and finally led him to be poisoned and died.

This is the famous example of the dead killing the living. Of course, all of this is just a legend in the wild history, and it can't be counted. This is also what Yang Chendong said in order to arouse people's topics and enhance the reputation of the Immortal Residence, but what he didn't expect was that he was heard by Zhu Huixuan and took it seriously.

With this statement, Zhou Quan nodded, and stopped dwelling on this matter. As people say, if people don't die, they can't be counted, not to mention, with Yang Chendong's cunning and changeability, it is still unclear how the inside story of this matter is.

Even if you can't say anything about whether Yang Chendong is going to die, then you can only treat him as an opponent, thinking of this, Zhou Quan clenched his fists and said in a very respectful tone: "His Royal Highness King Min, as far as we know, Yang Chendong is a very powerful person. At the beginning, he had repelled the Warat army with hundreds of troops, and he should be cautious in the face of such an opponent. ”

As soon as Zhou Quan finished speaking, Yan Tao also agreed, and said: "What Brother Zhou said is that this loyal and courageous man is very difficult to deal with, especially in terms of leading troops, otherwise he would not have completely wiped out Huang Gongzi's forces in less than two months, and he still needs to be cautious and cautious." ”

Both of them were so cautious, Zhu Huixuan nodded in agreement, and then said, "Then according to the opinions of the two, what should we do next?" Don't you say you won't fight back? ”

"Of course it's best if you don't fight." Yan Tao nodded and said.

Regarding Yan Tao's opinion, after listening to it thoughtfully, he couldn't help frowning. On this trip, his task was to do everything possible to kill Yang Chendong, Beiming's henchman. Now that this person has taken the initiative to jump out and become an enemy of King Min, and it is a good time to destroy him, how can he tolerate doing nothing?

Yan Tao had already seen it with his spare eyes, of course he knew the other party's thoughts, so after he smiled, he said to Zhu Huixuan: "His Royal Highness King Min, the strength of the mercenary Miao Jinlong's secret letter has been written very clearly. 20,000 Miao troops still suddenly attacked and defeated the opponent's 7,000 people, and were killed a big defeat, such an opponent even if we are on top, it will be very difficult to solve them if it is necessary, if the troops are too small, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve the problem at one time, but if there are too many troops, I am afraid that it will give Nanming a chance to breathe, which is very unfavorable to the overall situation. ”
