"Yes! If the last general asks a mountain man to rush out, he will raise his head to meet him. ”

"Good!" Luo Xin nodded, then looked at Huangshan and said: "Huangshan, this time, as long as you can assist General Li to guard the exit and prevent a thief from rushing out, after the matter is completed, teaching you wine-making techniques is only the most basic, I will report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for you, and then the imperial court will definitely give you an official and a half-post, and you will be one of the leaders of these millions of mountain people in the future." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Huang Shan knelt down excitedly and thanked him.

"General Qi!"

"The last general!"

Qi Jiguang hurriedly responded, he was also a little anxious these days, only the last time he ambushed the anti-thieves who grabbed grain, Qi Jiguang participated in a battle, and the rest didn't contribute much at all, and he was already in a hurry.

"I'll give you thirty-five thousand, plus six thousand from Weihe, a total of forty-one thousand, and you are ambushed here."

Luo Xin pointed his finger at a place on the map, a canyon only five kilometers away from where General Li had stationed his troops. Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up.

"What an ambush place."

"Yes, you guys are here to send reinforcements, no problem, right?"

"No problem!" Qi Jiguang said excitedly: "I will destroy as many people as there are." ”

"You do things, I don't worry!" Luo Xin nodded, and then looked at Wei Hedao: "Wei He." ”

"The villain is here."

"Assist General Qi well, and when you succeed, this official will definitely protect you as an official and become one of the commanders of millions of mountain people."

"Thank you, sir!" Wei He looked overjoyed and knelt on the ground excitedly, and Hao Datong looked at Luo Xin with blank eyes.

Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and Wei Daodao: "You guys should leave immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Qi Jiguang and Wei He set off with 41,000 people, so that 30,000 officers and soldiers and Hao Datong and 6,000 mountain people were left here, a total of 36,000 people.

"Hao Datong."

"The villain is here!"

"Don't worry, you will follow me, all your performances will be seen in my eyes, after the war is over, this official will definitely protect you as an official and a half, and make you one of the commanders of millions of mountain people.

When the time comes, you will have the support of the government behind you, the technology of brewing in your hands, and you will lead the mountain people to live a prosperous life, and you will definitely be respected by all the mountain people. ”

"Master Xie." Hao Datong's face was flushed with excitement.

"Let's go." Luo Xin stood up and said: "Select a thousand people who are familiar with the road from your subordinates, merge them into the scout camp, and scatter them all the way, as long as you find the mountain people, kill them all the way, and you can't reveal the whereabouts of our army." ”

"Yes!"

The army set off.

Capital.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

Now the situation is like cooking oil, and it has turned from the impeachment of Luo Xin and the support of Luo Xin to the court.

Moreover, under Wang Cuiqiao's intentional dissemination, the people supported Luo Xin's expedition to the mountain people on a one-sided basis, thus forming two completely different situations.

Above the court, the impeachment of Luo Xin prevailed.

The common people, who supported Luo Xin, gained the upper hand.

The impeachment of Luo Xin scolded Luo Xin for being a butcher, and such an act would go against the will of the saint and would shake the foundation of the country.

Those who support Luo Xin show that the people are like water, the king is like a boat, and the water can carry a boat or overturn a boat. Now that the people support Luo Xin, it proves that Luo Xin is right, and the impeachment of Luo Xin at this time is precisely to shake the country's foundation.

It is also pointed out that barbarians, whose hearts are different, cannot be regarded by the people. Don't you hear the saying of the wolf in the mountains?

However, soon some Xu Dang people retorted that the mountain people were different from the Tartars, although they were barbarians, they lived in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they should be the same as the Han people, and they should be educated and obedient, and should not be slaughtered and turned away.

There is also support for Luo Xin's humanity, and there were many indoctrination before the imperial court, but the barbarians did not obey the king, they were capricious, and the people were stubborn. Such a barbarian and delusional idea of not fighting is a corrupt idea and a misguided move for the country. He also cited many repeated rebellions of barbarians and refuted the act of indoctrination.

This court dispute spread from the imperial court to the literary scholars, and in the literary scholars, they were also divided into two camps, arguing and not cultivating.

The people in the opposition who then expanded, almost all of them supported Luo Xin, flaunted Luo Xin as a national hero, and even storytellers made up commentaries to praise Luo Xin, and the drama troupe even made up a drama to praise Luo Xin.

The two sides of support and impeachment, you come and go, foaming at the mouth, although everyone racks their brains, but everyone knows that it is not them who really make the decision, but Emperor Jiajing.

However, Emperor Jiajing remained silent and watched coldly. It makes people wonder what Emperor Jiajing thinks.

In fact, the pressure on Emperor Jiajing was very high.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong joined forces to impeach Luo Xin for the first time, and the pressure on Emperor Jiajing was not ordinary.

Emperor Jiajing has not been in court for decades, but he can still firmly grasp the government in his own hands, what is the basis?

It's all about balancing.

Whether it is Yan Song and Xu Jie at the beginning, or Xu Jie and Gao Gong now, it is a balance.

Let Yan Song and Xu Jie fight, let Xu Jie and Gao Gong fight, and he, Emperor Jiajing, sat there as a referee, firmly holding power in his own hands.

However, when Gao Gong and Xu Jie were indisputable and joined forces intimately, the pressure on Emperor Jiajing was too great.

None of them.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong joined forces, and if they did not fight, then Emperor Jiajing would not be a referee, but would become the object of Gao Gong and Xu Jie's conquest.

If he agrees to the impeachment of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, it will be a surrender to the courtiers, how can Emperor Jiajing be willing?

If he refutes the impeachment of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, then he has to come up with a reason for refutation, this is the end, isn't this a reduction in status?

A person who is used to being a referee, let him go down all of a sudden, lower his status and compete with his courtiers, which is already a loss for Emperor Jiajing.

However, a country is never absolutely decided by the emperor, and in the face of the pressure of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, Emperor Jiajing was a little unbearable. Moreover, as he got older, he was even more reluctant to cause trouble, and he only wanted to live a peaceful monastic life.

He didn't know whether it was better to treat the mountain people like Luo Xin to slaughter and exterminate them, or to educate them like Gao Gong and Xu Jie. It's just that I feel that the mountain people killed more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and this face can't be passed, on the other hand, I feel guilty about Luo Xin in my heart, so I have been dragging this matter on.

However, when the pressure came to Emperor Jiajing and made Emperor Jiajing overwhelmed, Emperor Jiajing's heart was shaken.

In his mind, Luo Xin has been in the old forest for more than a month, even if he can't defeat the eighteen villages, the next half should be about the same, right?

He never thought that Luo Xin would fail, this is the prestige that Luo Xin has always played, and even Emperor Jiajing is full of blind trust in Luo Xin.
