Qin Feng was not wrong at all, the first thing his queen did in Shangjing was to attribute the world's soldiers and horses of Great Chu to the current military department Shangshu Cheng Wuben. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, not in the name of Princess Zhaohua, with Min Ruoxi's current identity, she is not qualified to criticize the government of Chu State, but there is still a queen mother in the harem.

"Mother, the top priority is to defend Jinghu." On the night of entering the palace, after the mother and daughter cried when they met for the first time, the conversation naturally turned back to the current critical situation. "The situation is even more terrible now than the crisis of decades ago. After all, at that time, my father was still there. ”

mentioned his father Min Wei, Min Ruoxi was really a little sad. The Min family is thin, unlike other royal families, Min Wei's adopted children are more similar to ordinary people, especially for Min Ruoxi, who is afraid of melting in his mouth, and is afraid of falling in the palm of his hand.

"At that time, my father and emperor were fighting outside, Yang Xiang Yang Yihe was in charge of the inside, the monarch and the ministers were of the same heart, and the top and bottom were of the same morality, which laid the foundation of Dachu's stability for decades, but now, the second brother still doesn't know if he can come back, and Ma Xiangdong, whether it is virtue or talent, can not be compared with Yang Yihe."

"Kunling Pass is lost, can we still hold it?" The Queen Mother is not familiar with military affairs, and when she heard Min Ruoxi say it so seriously, and she was worried about her son's life and death, the whole person was a little confused.

"The six eastern counties can't hold it, there are no soldiers, and that empty place can't be defended. Therefore, Cheng Shuai had no choice but to retreat to Jinghu and build a second line of defense in Jinghu, as long as the Jinghu defense line was completed, he could attack the six eastern counties, and retreat to steadily hold most of the rivers and mountains of Dachu. Min Ruoxi analyzed.

"In that case, of course we have to defend Jinghu, what is there to say?" The Queen Mother said again and again.

"Queen Mother, but now in the court, there is no one who can hold back, courtiers, attacking each other, fighting for power and profit, who still cares about the safety of Da Chu, who cares about the life and death of the second brother!" Min Ruoxi let out a long sigh.

"Those who are blinded by lard, don't they know that under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" The Queen Mother's face changed greatly, and she scolded bitterly.

"Queen Mother, what do they have to fear, it can't be that when the Qi army comes, change the master and kowtow, but they can descend, how can we descend in the Min family?" Min Ruoxi sighed: "I'm afraid that at that time, they will tie up the Min family and go to the Qi army camp to ask for merit." ”

"This, how is this good?" The Queen Mother's face changed greatly.

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, Cheng Shuai is loyal, as long as Cheng Shuai is here, they won't dare to mess around, as long as Cheng Shuai can gain a firm foothold in Jinghu, everything will be fine." Min Ruoxi said: "But now the court is in chaos, Cheng Shuai is alone in Jinghu, as far as her daughter knows, now Cheng Shuai only has 30,000 soldiers in his hands, military salaries, grain and grass, when his daughter was in Quanzhou, although he raised a part to send to Cheng Shuai, but it couldn't last long, and he would eventually have to be supplied by the imperial court." Therefore, the queen mother, you are the only one who has come forward, and now you are the only one who has the ability to forcefully suppress all the noise above the court, and first support Cheng Shuai to stabilize the Jinghu defense line before saying anything else. ”

"Okay, okay, I want to see if there is still this court, whether there is an emperor, or an emperor in the eyes of these people?" The Queen Mother said fiercely.

The mother and daughter thought about it for most of the night, the queen mother's knowledge was really limited, and listening to her daughter's very reasonable analysis, she was naturally not allowed.

At dawn, when the monarch and ministers were summoned, everyone led by Ma Xiangdong was a little blindsided when they saw the queen mother appearing on the throne with Min Ruoying's son in her arms.

The Queen Mother was furious, and the court knew everything. At the time of the dispersal of the dynasty, it had already been decided that Wu Youcheng would be responsible for the general responsibility, Wen Youma would be the general manager to the east, and the national general mobilization would be issued, and the entire Chu State would enter the wartime system and be managed by military law, and the will of the Empress Dowager would be issued to all counties and counties across the country.

Ma Xiangdong never expected that under such a situation, he would win a big prize. In the current situation, although the whole country has entered the military management mode, and Cheng Wu, who is in charge of the military, has overshadowed him, the first assistant, but this Cheng Shuai is in Jinghu, but he has suddenly become powerful in the capital. With this title, he naturally strongly supported the Queen Mother.

The next day, Jiang Shangyan, who had been trapped outside the city for two months, was summoned by the Queen Mother, and while receiving the praise, Jiang Shangyan was immediately entrusted with the importance of immediately leading the army to aid Jinghu.

Where does the army come from? In the entire Shangjing City, there are only 10,000 Fire Phoenix Army and about 30,000 City Gate Army guarding the capital left, and the combat effectiveness of the City Gate Army is naturally dangerous, but at this time, it is not enough to care about this, and the 10,000 Fire Phoenix Army is naturally unable to move, so there is only the City Gate Army.

Three days later, Jiang Shangyan led 20,000 Chengmen troops, carrying a large number of ordnance taken out of the arsenal, all the way to Jinghu.

Jiang Shangyan was not too worried about the low combat effectiveness of the Chengmen army, and in the Ming Dynasty, it only took two or three months to transform those peasants who only knew how to wield hoes into a decent army. For the great method of training the army, Jiang Shangyan has also been very experienced in recent years.

These 30,000 city gate troops, no matter how poor they are, are stronger than farmers, and when they arrive in Jinghu County, they will be trained fiercely, even if most of them are eliminated, at least they can get an elite division of more than 5,000 people.

After staying in Daming for a long time, Jiang Shangyan was also deeply affected by Daming's army building concept, and his soldiers were expensive and expensive. What's more, before leaving, the queen mother promised herself that Da Ming would spare no effort to support Da Chu, and like many of Da Ming's latest weapons, they would also sell to Da Chu or even provide free support.

What those latest weapons of the Ming Dynasty meant, no one knew better than Jiang Shangyan. Repeating crossbow machines, thunderbolts, charging vehicles, etc., his Baoqing camp is fully equipped. This time he returned, by the grace of the emperor, and his five hundred men brought ten repeating crossbows that were relatively easy to carry and 100,000 such crossbow arrows.

Trained a team of 5,000 elite soldiers, coupled with the latest weapons of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Shangyan was sure enough to make the Qi people who occupied the six eastern counties not know the taste of food, and the bedroom was unstable.

Guarding Jinghu, of course, can't be blindly defended, defending and attacking is the way to survive Jinghu. The six eastern counties have a vast territory, and even if the Qi people put 200,000 people there like the Chu State, they can't prevent Jinghu's attack. Because Jinghu Lake has many rivers and lakes, coming and going, the Qi people do not have a decent sailor to deal with Jinghu.

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Shangyan couldn't help but marvel at the queen's plan, when she went to Beijing, she had already recovered the Ning clan, and at this time, the Ning clan's hundreds of warships and thousands of soldiers had already helped Cheng Shuai in Jinghu. Now Cheng Shuai only has defensive strength and no offensive means, but when he arrives, everything will change.

In addition to Jiang Shangyan's troops, the Chu State Court also ordered to mobilize 20,000 people from the Western Army to Jinghu, and the Chu State Court was quite worried about this order, because in the Luoying Mountains, the Qin Army Bian Wushuang who confronted the Western Army still had nearly 100,000 horses. The Chu army took away 10,000 people because of An Ruhai, and now there are only 40,000 people left, which is already overstretched, and it will be extremely dangerous to transfer another 20,000.

However, for Min Ruoxi, this is not a problem at all, because she knows very well that the outbreak of civil strife in Qin is imminent, at this moment, where does Bian Wushuang have the heart to find trouble with the Chu State, and the Chu army has already captured the Jingjing Pass Fortress, if the Qin people really want to attack, they have to think about whether they can capture this key pass.

Min Ruoxi even assured the Queen Mother that if the Qin army dared to invade the west, then the Ming army would not hesitate to attack the Qin State. Now the Ming army is like a sharp sword hanging above the head to the Qin people, which may fall at any time, and the Qin people want to find trouble with the Chu State, but they are afraid that the Ming army is also fighting their ideas.

In this way, Suqian, the deputy commander of the Western Army, also led the main force of the 20,000 Western Army to return eastward, and their destination was naturally Jinghu County.

The imperial court suddenly quieted down and fully supported Jinghu County, but at this moment, Cheng Wuben in Jinghu County was not happy at all, because Emperor Min Ruoying did not take a more complete retreat route from Wanzhou to Jinghu, but chose the extremely dangerous line from Phoenix Mountain to Kunling Pass, and the suspicion between the monarch and the minister had reached its peak.

"Cheng Shuai, Your Majesty's move is not wise, even if he kills it, the Fire Phoenix Army is afraid that it will be seven or eight out of ten!" Zeng Lin looked at Cheng Wuben, whose face was a little pale, and looked at him left and right.

Cheng Wuben laughed miserably, he knew that Zeng Lin certainly understood why, but he just didn't say it to his face. "Brother Zeng, if something happens to me one day, you will guard Jinghu County, and you should do your best to guard the front line of Jinghu."

"Cheng Shuai, what are you talking about?" Zeng Lin's face changed, "If Cheng Shuai is not there, I am afraid that this Jinghu will not be there." I also know what Cheng Shuai is worried about, saying something disrespectful, I am afraid that the emperor will be blinded by lard, and he will be cocooned and bound by himself when the time comes. Cheng Shuai, it's for Da Chu, you can't be confused, in this Jinghu County, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the eastern border army, who doesn't take Cheng Shuai as the leader, others such as county soldiers, sailors, Zeng Mou also recognized himself as a word, who wants to be unfavorable to Cheng, first have to ask us if we agree? ”

"That's too much." Cheng Wuben shook his head.

"Cheng Shuai, I'll stack the words here today, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Cheng Shuai, even if it is the emperor, someone Zeng will not dare to obey the edict."
