If I hadn't waited for me to come to see my brother, our soldiers and horses would have broken through this barrier long ago. "

"Don't be ashamed, if you want to talk about wild warfare, my army is not your opponent, but if you want to defend the city, I don't believe you can easily break through this city!"

Hong Chengchou had never seen the use of artillery to siege a city. Indeed, before artillery was used on a large scale in land warfare, there was really no good way to deal with the city other than filling it with the lives of soldiers.

"Young brother is not here to invite Brother Heng Jiu to believe it, our methods will naturally be released for the elder brother to see, but please remember the words of the younger brother, please don't talk about life and death lightly!

Of course, if the elder brother wants to use the younger brother as a hostage, it is also possible, but it may not be of any use. This time, the younger brother made his own decision, because he couldn't bear to see the hero of my hometown die here. "

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he stood up and saluted. See what Hong Chengchou thinks?
If Zheng Zhilong is really just because he cherishes talents, not all of them, he still has some intentions to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender.

Of course, he also knew that it was very difficult. Most of the governors of the Great Qin had to be given the title of Shangshu. For example, Qian Jiaying now joined the Nanjing Ministry of War as Shangshu. There would not be more than [-] such figures in the Great Qin.

But since Gu Bingqian and Zhang Ruitu were invited by Zhu Taoyan to be the national policy advisers of the alliance, Zheng Zhilong understood that the important ministers of the Great Qin still had a certain effect on the Qin alliance.

It has been nearly ten years since the alliance was established. Since the backbone of the alliance is Fujianese, the majority of Fujianese are present in all parts of the alliance, especially in Taiwan.

Unlike the first batch of Fujian veterans who joined the alliance, Zheng Zhilong can only be counted as the second batch, and his qualifications are even worse than Luo Tongan, Lin Congan and others.

Although he has trained nearly [-] troops in the two lakes of Huguang, he is somewhat lucky in the alliance. It is somewhat because of his relationship with Li Dan and Zhu Tao that he has today's status.

The continuous victories of the Shanshan Army also stimulated him. If he wants to take a higher position in the league, he must make more contributions.

A person like Hong Chengchou must be helpful to the alliance, so he resolutely asked to come in contact, even if he failed to persuade him to surrender, as long as this person can save his life, other tasks can be done slowly.

Those who can become the Governor of Daqin in their 30s are not mediocre after all, and they are also fellows from Nan'an. Once they survive and join the alliance, with this friendship, they will be able to help each other in the future.

"How can Fei Huang look down on Hong so much? The two armies are fighting without beheading the envoy. Although you are a bandit, Yu is not a small man, so I will say goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, Hong Chengchou tidied up the teacup that was overturned on the table just now, and raised it slightly with both hands.

"Brother Heng Jiu, take care!"

Zheng Zhilong also bowed and saluted, turned and left.

On the third day of the sixth lunar month, Daqin's early court was in chaos.

Fuzhou fell, and the news that the governors Chen Hao and Zhou Haoyu were missing only came three days ago. The news that the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, together with Shaanxi inspector Li Yingqi, Shaanxi commander Wang Chengen, and Ningxia commander He Huchen, all died at Dashanguan passed yesterday. .

The ministers in the early court were silent, and the emperor Zulong was furious and immediately decreed that Xiong Mingyu, the Minister of the Ministry of War who had been in office for less than half a year, was sent to prison, and the chief assistant Zhou Yanru was dismissed, and Wen Tiren was appointed as the chief assistant.

You must know that there are only five people in the cabinet at this time, and two of the cabinet ministers, He Ruchong and Qian Xiangkun, have already reached the second level of resignation.

Once Zhou Yanru was deposed, only two cabinet ministers, Wen Tiren and Wu Zongda, remained in the cabinet.

After disposing of the ministers, Zu Long began to ask the ministers how to deal with the situation in Shanshan and Shaanxi?

But the courtiers' suggestions made him even angrier.

It was said that Xuanda's elite should be dispatched to Jin to suppress the thieves as soon as possible, but some people immediately objected. Wang Zhicai, the governor of Xuanda, only published the title book a month ago, saying that tigers and rabbits are stationing troops in Zhangbei, and there seems to be signs of entering from Jizhou.

It is also said that Liao right soldiers were dispatched to the Central Plains to suppress thieves, but the supervisor, Sun Chengzong, published the inscription as early as the beginning of May, saying that there was a detailed report, and the slave chieftains captive in the east were preparing, and it seemed that they would gather troops to seize the customs again.

Some people said that soldiers from Huguang and Sichuan went north to Shanshan to suppress bandits, but the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou said at the beginning of the year that the Shui'an clan seemed to be rebelling again, and asked the court for payment.

Now the soldiers and horses of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are preparing to respond, but there are still many soldiers and horses in Huguang, but the court can't provide money and food.

The governor of Huguang and the supervising army have written many times, saying that it is no problem to transfer Huguang's soldiers and horses, but the court must allocate food and salaries, otherwise they are afraid that the soldiers on the road will mutiny.

At this point, Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, jumped up and reprimanded Huguang for not listening to his orders, saying that Huguang had always been rich, and there was absolutely no reason why he could not raise money and food.

When the courtiers saw Bi Shangshu coming out, they laughed inwardly, and really made things difficult for him. Even the rats in Taicang were starving to death. How could there be any money and food allocated to Huguang at this time?
Not only official salaries, soldiers and horses food and pay, but Bi Shangshu was still fighting with the emperor yesterday morning!
Fuzhou fell, but the bandits did not embarrass the king of Jin, and sent them out of Fujian together with the clans of the two prefectures in Zezhou.

Now a prince, two county princes, a total of more than [-] clans and servants are collected in Shuozhou, and they ask the emperor for relief one by one every day.

But where in the world are there still soldiers and horses that can be adjusted?The originally powerful Zhejiang army was wiped out in the first battle of Hunhe. In order to prevent the Zhejiang army from resurging, the imperial court was already very stuck with the food and pay of the Zhejiang army.

The pirates have long since disappeared. What else do Zhejiang and Fujian need to strengthen their armies?
After thinking about it, Zulong had no choice but to mobilize Huguang soldiers and horses, so he ordered Bi Ziyan to raise money and food, and mobilize Huguang troops to suppress bandits as soon as possible.

But what can Bi Shangshu do?Now that the spring tax has not yet come to Taicang, Ji Liao and Xuan Da are rushing to urge food and payment, where there is money and food allocated to Huguang, so they have to bite the bullet and ask the emperor to allocate internal money.

At this moment, Huang Chengwu came out to intervene and impeach Bi Ziyan for corruption in the case of Huke, and Zulong, who was furious, immediately dismissed Bi Shangshu and sent him to prison.

Once in the early court, the chief assistant was deposed and the two ministers were imprisoned. This was something that had never been heard of since ancient times. For a while, the court was quiet again.

No matter how angry the emperor was, the ministers kept silent, and the angry Zulong walked away, leaving only a group of courtiers looking at each other in blank dismay.

Zulong's attendant followed Wang Chengen as he trotted away, and even the eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of ceremonies, was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted "Separate court", and hurriedly followed.

Originally, the ministers should congratulate Wen Tiren on the release of the new Chief Assistant, but in this season, they just encountered such an embarrassing court meeting.

The ministers just let Wen Tiren go first as usual, and Wu Zongda naturally became the second assistant, following Wen Tiren.

When the ministers passed by, it was not easy to congratulate them, they just bowed and saluted as usual, but there were only two people left in the cabinet, and two more ministers were imprisoned.
