Yunnan, Lin'an.

16,000 Ming troops surrounded the city, and from time to time there were cannon shots, and the defenders in the city were panicked like frightened birds.

The day before yesterday, Zhu Linmiao led the army and Long Zaitian and others to Lin'an. Hearing the news, Sha Dingzhou hurriedly deployed 8,000 men and horses on the way to ambush the officers and soldiers, but there was no surprise, the ambush soldiers were beaten by the Dragon Guard Army in less than half an hour, and thousands of people abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the spot.

Sha Dingzhou was so frightened that he didn't even dare to go to Lin'an, and fled back to Baigelong with the remaining remnants, leaving only the iron tiger and 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend Lin'an.

Amid the sound of cannons, a luxurious-looking carriage stopped outside the Dragon Guard barracks surrounded by more than 100 guards. A very fat young man struggled to get out of the car by stairs, and immediately many eyes looked in this direction and whispered.

"Eh, isn't this the third son of the Yuanjiang family?"

"The imperial court even recruited that family, and the movement is not small."

"But the prefect didn't come in person, and it seems that the family doesn't want to offend Ah Mi too much......"

Then several more people approached Najie and greeted him warmly: "Is this what happened?" ”

"Is that brother okay?"

"Oh? That brother is here too? ”

Na Jie nodded hurriedly in return, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Invited by the Duke of Qianguo, why don't you have to come here." ”

Mu Tianbo has prestige in Sufu, Yunnan, and few toasts will not sell his face. If such a big toast is okay, some small toasts are rarely greeted by the Duke of Qianguo once in their lives, and they are all flattered to receive his handwritten letter this time, and even framed the letter on the desk.

What's more, this time, the letter from the Duke of Qianguo to the Tusi made it clear that it was His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King who convened everyone to discuss the matter. These Tusi have heard that the imperial army has conquered Kunming, and Sha Dingzhou has been deflated in Chuxiong, and no one is willing to dismiss the will of the auxiliary king who is in full military power.

When these people approached, someone immediately whispered: "That brother, your family is well-informed, do you know why the auxiliary king called us here this time?" ”

Na Jie glanced at Lin'an City, which was surrounded by Long Zaitian and Yang Weizhi's army in the distance, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, the imperial court is on an expedition, and it can't let us send troops and money." ”

Another person hurriedly asked, "What do we mean by that brother?" ”

Na Jie said with a natural expression: "Sha Dingzhou didn't come to Yuanjiang to provoke me, why did I send troops to deal with him?" ”

Several people nodded again and again when they heard this, and silently wrote down "the meaning of that family", and their hearts were all general thoughts, that family is powerful, and it is naturally good to follow that family.

After finishing the "business", someone pointed to the Longwei military camp and smiled at Na Jie: "That brother, your lady who has not passed through the door is also here, so you should go over and say hello." ”

Na Jie followed the direction of his finger and saw Mu Zhiqing and her two brothers, and couldn't help frowning.

According to Yunnan customs, there is nothing wrong with unmarried women going out, and even going into battle is a common thing.

But Najie looked down on these "local customs". He boasted that he was familiar with Cheng Zhu Lixue, and he took it as a matter everywhere, so he hummed dissatisfiedly at the moment: "What kind of system does a girl's family have become when she shows up all day long?" I'm so tired and embarrassed......"

More than ten feet away, Mu Zhiqing, who was tired of Najie's "disgrace", was following behind his eldest brother, watching him bow to His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

"Your Highness congratulates His Highness on the restoration of Qujing and Kunming in one fell swoop. Since then, Yunnan is bound to settle down with sand chaos. ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and patted Mu Jing's shoulder, "This time Yunnan quelled the turmoil, the Mu family can be said to have made great contributions. If there were no 3,000 men and horses of the Mu family to hold on, Chu Xiong would have fallen into the hands of thieves. ”

He remembered that Sha Dinghai had mentioned that the mysterious man "pointed" in the middle of the night, and thought that it was mostly Mu Jing's doing, so he continued: "It is the two battles of Qujing and Kunming, and Yilao Mu is also aware of the plan, and our army has to advance all the way." ”

"Serving the imperial court, I don't dare to say anything." Mu Jing glanced behind him again, and said, "As for Chu Pingmao and Sha Dinghai working for His Highness, it is not the strategy of the lower officials, but the plan of the sister. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Linmiao looked at Mu Zhiqing in surprise when she heard this, and said in her heart that this is a strange woman, and her ability to plan this strategy is not much better than Zhang Jiayu.

He immediately praised: "Miss Mu is very good, and she is actually a female middle school Kong Ming." ”

Mu Zhiqing's cheeks were slightly red, and she hurriedly bowed deeply, and even said, "Your Highness has a good reputation." ”

As a few people were talking, they saw Shi Lin come forward and saluted: "My lord, the toast from all over the country has almost arrived, you see ......"

Zhu Linmiao nodded and ordered, "Without further ado, let's start." ”

"Yes!"

In the camp of the Ming army surrounding Lin'an City, the infantry of the two battalions of the Dragon Guard stood in order, and a banner several zhang long was on the wooden platform in the center, with the inscription "Enlarged Meeting of Yunnan Magistrates".

Zhu Linmiao changed into a military uniform and sat down at the front in high spirits. More than 80 Tusi from all over Yunnan immediately knelt down and bowed, "Meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King." ”

"Everyone, please." Zhu Linmiao smiled and continued, "This time I summoned everyone to discuss the development of Yunnan. Oh, and I have some more good news for you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a toast take a step forward and arch his hand: "Your Highness, Sha Dingzhou has recently retracted back to Mengzi, and chaos will be settled." However, Yunnan was full of rebellious troops, and even more so in the areas under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, and asked the imperial court to allocate grain and rice for relief. ”

Immediately, several toasts chimed in.

Na Jie Le's face trembled, and his heart said that these guys would act, and they would strike first, so he also arched his hand and said loudly: "Your Highness, after more than ten years of fighting, the soldiers in Yunnan are tired and the people are poor. Like my family, there are less than a thousand soldiers at the moment, but there is almost no food to provide for.

"At present, the family has the heart to help the court quell the chaos, but it is really not enough......"

"Yes, yes, so is our Li family."

"I'm even more powerless to grind the mountain......"

Zhu Linwei expected that this would be the case, so she only smiled and signaled to the toasts to be quiet, "Today, we won't talk about counterinsurgency. ”

Na Jie was stunned when he heard this, but he felt that he had saved up a lot of strength but punched him in the air, and subconsciously said, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"Let's talk about the reward first." Zhu Linmiao pointed to Mu Jing and said, "The Mu family guarded Chuxiong and retreated from the enemy this time, and they also helped the imperial army a lot. ”

All the toasts immediately exclaimed, "Doctor? Three products! ”

"The Mu family is developed this time."

"Why is the court so gracious this time?"

You must know that the routine policy of the Ming Dynasty was to try to lower the status of local officials, usually meritorious, but also mostly rewarding money and food, etc., and it is difficult to get the title of high-ranking official.

It is because Tusi always has an inferiority complex about his status as a local official, although their life is much better than that of the court officials who have come up through the imperial examination, but they always feel inferior.
