The same scene happened on the left and right flanks, a large number of yellow bandit captives fell to their knees, and some cold fronts and auxiliaries continued to rush in different directions of the large battalion.

In the big tent of Huang Yuliang, he was pacing back and forth, and at this moment he was anxious, and the three bullets that rose into the air made him feel bad. It's just that there is still a bit of luck in his heart, that is, this is just a coincidence, after all, he has not received any news of the arrival of Nanming reinforcements, and he still has 80,000 soldiers in his hands.

"Report!" Just when Huang Yuliang was restless, the curtain was lifted from the outside, revealing Zhu Fangyong's face.

"General Zhu, how's it going?" As soon as he looked at the person, Huang Yuliang asked anxiously.

"Childe, it's messed up, everything is messed up. There are rumors in front that General Geng Jun was killed, and now there is chaos in the army. As soon as Zhu Fangyong entered the account, he said with a bad face.

"Geng Jun was killed?" Hearing this news, Huang Yuliang instinctively shook his head, "This is impossible, General Geng has five thousand warriors around him, that is the elite, besides, he is just responsible for pretending to retreat, how can something happen?" ”

Zhu Fangyong naturally would not agree with Huang Yuliang's elite words, compared to the elite Leng Feng, these yellow bandit soldiers couldn't even compare with a finger. It's just that Zhu Fangyong, who still has important responsibilities, had to suppress the thoughts in his heart, and said obediently, "Yes, General Geng's side is full of elites, presumably someone in front of him is spreading the news." It's just that now there is chaos in the army, and I'm afraid that anything may happen, so for the sake of safety, I also asked Gongzi to leave the big tent first. ”

"Leave the big tent of the Chinese army? Why? Huang Yuliang shook his head, looking incomprehensible. But he has an army of 80,000? Even if there was an accident, he still had enough advantages, how could he retreat when he encountered a problem.

As if he had known that Huang Yuliang would do this, Zhu Fangyong first shook his head, then took two steps forward, and said, "Childe, you are so offended!" After speaking, he raised his right arm and slapped the back of the opponent's neck with a palm...

Chen Bo and the others quickly rushed towards the army of yellow bandits, taking advantage of the cover of night to do things interspersed with the battlefield.

Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers were in a group of three, and in groups of five they shot and crossbowed the enemy who rushed to the front of them, while shouting loudly "Geng Jun is dead, Huang Gongzi has fled", which caused chaos in the Yellow Bandit army one after another.

The shouts rang out, and the believing leader took the lead and fled with his soldiers; There are those who don't believe it, or they want to find the person who shouted the news, and then they were shot and killed from a distance by Leng Feng, or someone went to the big tent of the Chinese army and found that Huang Gongzi was indeed missing, and they knew that it was bad and then fled.

In a word, there is no chief general in the army, and under the chaos, the untrained bandit army is a general who does not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals, and in the chaos, everyone only cares about fleeing for their lives, where can they organize any decent counterattack?

And it was at this time that the last straw that crushed the army appeared. He has always been firm that the Guangzhou Mansion will not be released, and General Ma Wei rushed out with the only remaining more than 2,000 horses in the city. As soon as the Nanming army appeared, the bandit army was even more chaotic, there were countless tramples, and those who surrendered on their knees were one after another...

......

Nanjing, the land of Kyoto in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The original palace here has been repaired for a period of time, but it also looks magnificent, and the newly renovated political palace has become the place where Yingzong Zhu Qizhen met with important courtiers.

The sky had already dawned, and several important ministers had come to the political hall early, all of them feeling uneasy.

The Southern Ming Dynasty implements the rules of six days for one dynasty and two days for a small dynasty.

The so-called great court is a court meeting that officials above the fourth rank in Beijing need to attend without special reasons, and then everyone can report the things that are difficult to solve to the emperor and discuss and deal with them.

In the small court meeting, only some important ministers of the third and second grades can participate. The purpose of the court meeting is to solve problems, and often when it comes to whom, it is natural to summon which courtier will be summoned into the temple to face the saint.

It's just that yesterday was the day of the small court meeting, but when it was only five watches, the eunuchs in the palace went to the palaces to send a decree to them to enter the palace to face the saints. In such an emergency, something important must have happened, so that the important ministers who entered the political hall were all restless.

It seems that the courtiers who participated in the small court meeting turned out to be all six Shangshu, and the coverage was so wide, it was no wonder that everyone was even more uneasy. Even smart people have guessed something, in this period, I am afraid that the only thing that can make the emperor so anxious is the war in the south.

When everyone was guessing and thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and accompanied by Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen walked into the main hall and sat down on the chair representing the Ninety-Five.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live long live, long live." After Zhu Qizhen sat down, the courtiers who came in response to the order fell to their knees and spoke loudly.

"Let's be flat." Zhu Qizhen's eyes were like torches, sweeping over every important minister, and then said: "Cao Jixiang, hurry up the eight hundred miles received at the third watch and circulate it to Zhong Aiqing." ”

"Yes." After Cao Jixiang agreed, he took a wooden box and sent it to Chen Xun, the secretary of the ministry.

Although the six ministries seem to be equal, the official department has always been known as a heavenly official, because the appointment and dismissal of the assessment of the officials in charge has its own saying that the officials are at the top of the ranks. Chen Xun himself had served as an important cabinet minister, so it was reasonable to pass on the news to him at this time.

Chen Xun stretched out his hands, opened the wooden box, took out the letter, and after a quick browsing, he sent the letter back with a serious face. Following him, Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo and others also read the 800-mile urgent letter one by one. Soon everyone knew the news of the letter, and the temple was much quieter.

This seems to have become a certain practice, once a big thing happens, often the courtiers will be like gold, perhaps they also know that the more important the matter, the more can not be easily stated, otherwise a word of the wrong word, may be a catastrophe.

The ministers didn't say a word, Zhu Qizhen looked at it with a little anger in his eyes, he hated these people who usually keep saying that they are important ministers for the country and the people to protect themselves, when it comes to a critical time, they always protect themselves first, and never know how to take the initiative to solve troubles and problems for the royal family.

It's just that the law doesn't blame the public, and he can't punish anyone for their crimes because of the minister's non-expression. Even if they don't take the initiative to speak, he will be named by name. "Aiqing has seen it, the situation in Yunnan is in crisis, the rebellious Zhu Huixuan has to help each other, the chief military officer Liang Xuan died in front of the battle, the situation is trembling, the governor of Huguang Wang came to ask for reinforcements to send good generals, can the secretaries have a plan?"

The chief military officer Liang Xuan can also be regarded as a person who knows the soldiers, but he still died in front of the battle, which is indeed beyond the expectations of the ministers. Now when I heard the emperor ask about the countermeasures, for a while, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to say anything.

The meaning of Zhu Qizhen's words, everyone has heard that the governor of Huguang, Wang Lai, is asking for reinforcements and good generals, and the reinforcements are secondary, after knowing that Jiaozhi promised Zhu Huixuan to send troops, the Southern Ming Dynasty court began to transfer the army, and now the industry is almost ready, and there are 50,000 reinforcements in advance.

Although the number of reinforcements may not reach the early hope, if it is used well, it can be used, only if Nanming is given enough time to prepare, the redeployment and conscription is enough. But it's the hard thing to know who is going to be.

After the Ming Dynasty experienced the three emperors of Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong, it seemed that the country was very strong, but with the implementation of the strategy of emphasizing literature and light on military force, there were not many generals available on the battlefield. After the First World War, some generals who could fight died a lot, and in addition to the Ming Dynasty, there was a distinction between north and south, and now there are only a handful of good generals available in the hands of Zhu Qizhen.

It has become a battlefield practice to choose generals first, and without good generals, even if you send more troops, it will be useless.

But how can this good general be the rain of the world, ready to fall at any time? That must have been through the battle formation, and often after a hundred battles will produce a good general, looking at Nanming, there is obviously no such person.

Of course, it is not uncommon to say that there are crippled generals, for example, Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, is a person who knows the soldiers. But firstly, he is indeed a little old, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the bumps and fatigue of the battlefield, and secondly, he is now rectifying the guards, and he has also found a lot of problems.

If you can't use Kuang Ye, it will be difficult to choose a good general, which is why Zhu Qizhen summoned everyone.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't think of any suitable candidates, so he called everyone and asked the ministers to be virtuous. But this is also difficult for these important ministers. After all, governing a city and a place, even if there are some mistakes, it will not hinder the overall situation, at most it is to fall into the name of an unknown person, but this is a battlefield, and now the situation in Yunnan is so critical, if it is unfavorable in a war, not to mention the death of the battlefield, it is more likely to directly shake the foundation of Nanming, this crime is not a crime that a person can eat.

Knowing that the stakes were important, no one dared to recommend candidates at this time, and the ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb and silent.

Sure enough, no one shared state affairs at a critical moment, and while Zhu Qizhen was furious in his heart, his eyes fell on Chen Xun, the secretary of the ministry, "Chen Aiqing, the officials who manage the world in the ministry, is there a suitable person?" ”
