But they still wanted to send troops to Wuzhou Mansion, so they had to say that they knew what Gu did.

Thinking that when there was chaos in Guangdong, Guangxi did not send troops to help. On the contrary, they placed heavy troops in the cities adjacent to each other, just to prevent the rebellion of the yellow bandits from entering other places.Such an approach will naturally bring peace to Guangxi temporarily, but in this way, the pressure on Guangdong will only be greater, and the yellow bandits will not be able to go to other places, so they can only cause chaos in Guangdong.This kind of siled approach is very hurtful, which is why Ma Wei now wants to expel the Yellow Bandit from Guangdong. As for where he went, he doesn't talk about it, but he doesn't think about it.Even Guan Ying is pretending not to know.

One chopstick was slightly broken, and ten chopsticks were broken without breaking.This is about the power of unity.

The relationship between Guangdong and Guangxi fully demonstrates that the Nanming and Beiming are not in harmony, and the government offices under the Nanming are not in harmony. If things go on like this, the internal consumption is too large, how can it not be chaotic, and how can the people live a good life? How could it be possible not to die?

Letting others judge himself, Yang Chendong thought of his Yang family.At the beginning, all parties are united. What if it takes a long time?If the territory becomes larger and the population increases, what will be the result?Will there be people who have self-respect, and will there be people who also have the idea of ​​​​sweeping the snow in front of the door?

Presumably there must be some, so since Xingxing has predicted the emergence of these problems, how to solve them, you must know that the current traffic is too underdeveloped, and when something happens in one place, it is often a long time before you know it. It is beneficial to the management of a large area of ​​land, so how to do it best, I am afraid that it needs to be carefully considered.In short, the mistakes that happen to others cannot happen to oneself, otherwise, even if one becomes stronger, it will be difficult to persist in this situation for a long time.

Yang Chendong thought for a long while without speaking. Ma Wei and Guan Ying were both worried. After they looked at each other, they whispered together, "My lord, when do you think it's better to send troops?"

Chapter 378 Self-comforting Huang Yuliang

"Don't you really just want to drive the Yellow Bandits out of Guangdong? If one day, other places do the same thing, wouldn't they come back to Guangdong? What should we do then?" Meng Yi raised his head and wondered. , Yang Chendong's gaze was as sharp as a sword, he looked at Ma Wei and asked aloud.

Ma Wei was flustered by this question, and just when he didn't know how to answer, Yang Chendong turned his eyes again and landed on Guan Ying, "General Ma is the commander of the Guangdong Guard, and only Guangdong is the only place in his eyes that is still there." It can be forgiven, but General Guan is a member of the Nanming military department, and he should have the overall situation in his eyes, so are you so short-sighted?"

With a dazed expression on his face, Guan Ying quickly lowered his head, and said with a shy expression: "My lord, I made a mistake in the end."

"The last general is also wrong." Ma Wei saw that Guan Ying, who had come from the Ministry of War, had been reprimanded, so he didn't dare to keep his mouth so hard, and quickly lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.

Seeing that both of them had admitted their mistakes, Yang Chendong's face softened, "Forget it, this imperial envoy also has to consider the long-term because of the great entrustment of the emperor. If it is just to drive the yellow bandits out of the territory of Guangdong, it can't be regarded as a real move." I have completed the task, so I just said something, if the words are too heavy, please understand."

Yang Chendong's words slowed down, and there was a sense of self-blame. At the moment, Ma Wei and Guan Ying showed apprehension on their faces, "What do you say, sir, you have great insight and careful consideration. I really need to learn from it."

"Yeah." Everyone likes to hear flattery, and Yang Chendong looks much better, "Okay, since the two generals agree, let's take a look at how to solve the Huang bandit once and for all."

As he spoke, Yang Chendong stepped up to the sand table in the big tent.

The sand table is the military terrain sand table, which has already appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but it is called Kanyu map.It is said that Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao liked playing with sand tables the most.

The area where the Yellow Bandits were active had been marked on the sand table long ago, with yellow flags planted on it.The surrounding Nanming troops planted black flags. "Come on, come and take a look. After the defeat of Guangzhou Mansion, Huang Yuliang retreated to Zhaoqing Mansion with his remnants and was resting there. There is a ridge just north of Wuzhou called Mengzhu Ridge. Once you leave here, you can enter Guizhou, Huguang In order to prevent the chaos of the Yellow Bandits from spreading everywhere, the imperial envoy has arranged for the two battalions of Pingyuefu General He Sheng and mercenaries to defend there so that they cannot leave; , it is very close to Leizhou, and if something goes wrong, the yellow bandits can also pass through to Shanghai. In order to prevent this, the imperial envoy also arranged for General Yu Pinghe of Ganzhou Prefecture and two battalions of mercenaries to defend here. its retreat."

When Yang Chendong said this, Guan Ying and Ma Wei on the side already had expressions of enlightenment.

Before Hao Sheng and General Yu Guang suddenly disappeared without a trace, without even saying hello to them, they guessed that they should have received an imperial envoy's military order, but what they did, everyone couldn't guess.Looking at it now, I just found out that Yang Chendong had already made a plan and made arrangements, so the defeat of the Huang bandits in front of the Guangzhou mansion should have been within his expectations.Thinking that he has calculated the future situation and made preparations, the two of them admired the name of the God of War even more.

Yang Chendong didn't look at the expressions of the two of them, he didn't seem to care about their thoughts, but continued to say: "In this way, if the Huang bandits want to gain a foothold, they can only choose to retreat to Guangxi besides fighting us. General Guan, you are an official of the Ministry of War. Please inform the Guangxi Wei army immediately and let them guard the front line of Nanning and Liuzhou. It has nothing to do with me being affected by the bandits, I will give them seven days to prepare, and after seven days, troops will be sent to Wuzhou to completely solve the Huang's bandits."

A palm landed on the sand table, Yang Chendong said with a firm expression, obviously he had made up his mind for a while.

"Yes." Both Guan Ying and Ma Wei said in admiration. At this moment, they finally understood that the imperial envoy didn't do nothing, but thought everything through. , in terms of ability, I don't know how much better than them.

Guan Ying sent someone to send a message to the Guangxi army, and Ma Wei also began to mobilize more food for military appearance. After seeing the strength of the mercenaries, he dared not neglect the food in the slightest.

The Yang family's army was able to have better food, eat enough every day, rest well, and the morale of the army was even more prosperous. Even the two thousand temporary auxiliary soldiers were more integrated into this positive atmosphere. Some people had already planned in their hearts. , when there is a big battle, you must perform well, and try to get rid of the word "temporary" on your head first.

Zhaoqing Prefecture.

The original government office became Huang Yuliang's rest and office.

Because of the defeat of Guangzhou Mansion, although there were still many yellow bandits in Zhaoqing Mansion at this time, the overall momentum became much lower.

The morale of the soldiers was low, and Huang Yuliang, as the commander, was of course very anxious. He called Zhu Fangyong, who had saved his life in Guangzhou Fucheng.

Under the city of Guangzhou, if Zhu Fangyong hadn't acted decisively, Huang Yuliang wouldn't have been able to escape.Thinking that General Geng Jun was so brave and good at fighting, but also died in front of the battle, he felt waves of fear.

It was Zhu Fangyong who had saved his life at that time, so he relied on this person so much.

Now that Huang Yuliang was so pleased with Zhu Fangyong, the people below would inevitably be jealous, and someone asked why it was such a coincidence. They just wanted to use the opportunity of reinforcements to lure Ma Wei out of the city, and the reinforcements did arrive. Is there a reason for this? Some kind of connection, some people even doubt Zhu Fangyong's loyalty, after all, this person joined the Yellow Bandit for too short a time.

Faced with these rumors, Zhu Fangyong admitted generously.He said that all of this is God's favor, thanks to the plan at that time, if not, if there is no defense at all, wouldn't Nanming's reinforcements not come?At that time, I am afraid that the loss will only be greater.On the contrary, the scouts were so incompetent that they didn't even give a warning when the Nanming reinforcements arrived, which really delayed the opportunity of the battle.

These words of Zhu Fangyong reached Huang Yuliang's ears, not only did he not make him doubt this person, but on the contrary, he thought that this was a blessed general bestowed on him by heaven.At the same time, he greatly praised and made him his confidant, and at the same time, he pulled the scout general out and beheaded him to defeat the righteous army.

After Zhu Fangyong became Huang Yuliang's confidant, he naturally became his guest of honor, and was often called to have dinner together, while also analyzing the situation in front of him.

"General Zhu, you see, we have been in Zhaoqing Mansion for a while, and a lot of stragglers have gathered, but I don't know why the Nanming army didn't take the opportunity to attack us? What exactly are they trying to do?" Huang Yuliang's face was filled with confusion. The color of worry.This Nanming reinforcement army is really too powerful, so powerful that he has a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. Presumably there must be some reason why Nanming's reinforcements did not arrive. Judging from the future, it must be due to their own lack of troops. Our brothers are soldiers, hehe, I think it’s really urgent to go to the doctor.”

Zhu Fangyong said with a smile on his face, but he was really worried.Thinking about the information he received from the Security Bureau two days ago, saying that the Sixth Young Master asked him to entrust Huang Yuliang in Zhaoqing no matter what, and wait for him to approach with troops to realize his previous plan; If he wanted to make a difference, he had to temporarily expand the army, and thus took over a lot of brave men from the yellow bandits as soldiers.He was also really surprised.

Regarding entrusting Huang Yuliang to Zhaoqing City, Zhu Fangtong thought it was not difficult to do.Because this Mr. Huang refused to admit defeat, and still wanted to be with Dongshan, so how could he easily leave and finally get Zhaoqing City?

But he was really worried about the matter of recruiting the Yellow Bandits as soldiers mentioned later.Zhu Fangyong, who also stayed in the Yellow Bandit Army for a while, knew that these were just a group of rural villages who had no choice but to join the army in order to fill their stomachs and make a living.They are uneducated, so it is difficult for them to understand any major principles. They often follow whoever feeds them. Will such people be loyal?Can such a person play a role on the battlefield?Don't drag down other allies at that time.

Although I was worried in my heart, I could consider that it was the Sixth Young Master who did it.Based on his admiration and reliance on the Sixth Young Master, he finally didn't say anything. He is now in Zhaoqing Mansion, and he can't take care of things that are too far away, so let's finish the task first.

Huang Yuliang was passing a glass of strong wine to his mouth when he suddenly heard Zhu Fangyong's words, and when he heard that his subordinates were recruited by Nanming as a soldier, he was stunned and then laughed, and his originally nervous expression also instantly Stretched out, "Hahaha, Nanming recruited our soldiers, is this serious?"

"The last general sent three troops, and the news they sent back was the same, so there must be no falsehood." Zhu Fangyong replied with a serious face.

"Okay, haha, okay!" Huang Yuliang stood up happily, "Nanming actually used our soldiers as soldiers, so it really shows that they have too few troops. More importantly, they don't know how to I know that the people who can join our rebel army are all warriors who have lost confidence in Nanming. They were defeated in the battlefield, and they had to surrender to save their lives, but their hearts will still be towards us. With such people, once the two sides fight , When our side is strong, they are likely to turn their spearheads on the battlefield, and that is when they will bring their own bad results, hahaha."

Chapter 379 Zhu Qizhen's Injustice

The laughing Huang Yuliang felt relieved at this moment, since even the captives had to be rearranged, it seemed that the Nanming army was really weak, facing such an opponent, what's the point of losing the last time?

Compared with Huang Yuliang's sarcasm and mocking smile, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was laughing heartily in Nanjing, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Also in the Hall of Political Affairs, Zhu Qizhen looked at the six ministers and several other important ministers with a smile on his face, "Come on, let's all take a look, this is the good news just received, Guangzhou Mansion Great victory, more than 3 enemy heads were beheaded, and nearly [-] people were captured, which greatly damaged the arrogance of the Yellow Bandits."

The battle report has just been received.At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was really in a good mood.In the past few days, the expression of worrying because of the situation in Yunnan has also eased a lot.

The success report was quickly read by several important ministers one by one, and then all the ministers knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty is blessed by the heavens. Congratulations, long live your majesty."

"That's right, the heavens really treat me kindly, Liu Aiqing, prepare to sacrifice to the heavens immediately, and I will call the world." Since ancient times, the royal family likes to seek auspiciousness in doing things.How could Zhu Qizhen let go of this opportunity to show his status as a wise and martial artist.

"I obey the order." Liu De stepped out of the shift and agreed.It's just that after answering, he didn't immediately join the class, but first looked thoughtful, then raised his head and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about military affairs, but I also know the principle of chasing after victory from reading, why does the Guangzhou mansion, You have clearly defeated the army of yellow bandits, but you really didn't follow the trend?"

As soon as Liu De said these words, Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, became a little serious.This scene was clearly seen by Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, and he immediately walked out with a wat board in his hand, "Liu Shangshu, this matter has already been reported by Ying Yuanwailang, and he said that he rushed all the way. My Ming army and mercenaries He was already very tired, and he was short of troops, so he didn't pursue him. On this point, I also agreed to such a move."

"So that's the case, but I'm worrying too much." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen's expression turned ugly, and his goal had been achieved, Liu De retreated back and stood up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongdan has benefited from his command this time. Guan Ying and others have cooperated tacitly. I think it is a reward and encourage him so that he can go all out and be driven by us." Kuang Ye didn't want to chase after him either. The meaning of Liu De's going to fight is that since he has stood up, of course he has to ask for credit for the soldiers on the front line. This is also his duty and duty as the Secretary of the Ministry of War.

Kuang Ye proposed to reward, and Zhu Qizhen nodded immediately, "Decree, seal Guanying as a doctor of the Ministry of War, and other meritorious persons will be promoted to a higher level, and the reward will be between a thousand taels and a hundred taels of silver. As for the brave man, he The name was borrowed from Beiming, and if you want to confer a reward, you need to say hello there, so the matter will be left to the Ministry of Rites."

"Yes." Liu De, who had just stepped back, stood up again and respectfully agreed.It's just that anyone can see that if the matter is entrusted to this person, even if it is really unknown when the news will come, or even never will there be any reply.

Kuang Ye also wanted to say something on behalf of Yang Chendong. Guan Ying had stated in the secret letter to him that without the imperial envoy, it would be difficult to win this battle.How can such a talent be left out and offended?

But before he was ready to say something, Zhu Qizhen got up and said, "It's all over, I'm tired, I'm going to take a rest, don't bother me if there's nothing important to do." He also seemed to stare at Kuang Ye, as if these words were just for him to hear.

Speaking of which, Zhu Qizhen loves and fears Yang Chendong at the same time.
