rebirth [rebirth]

Returning to Chongli again, Rong Jingxuan felt as if he had been separated from the world.

Xie Mingze beside him was probably the same, the two of them rode through the city, and all they could see were the closed doors and windows of the houses.

After five days, they finally captured Chongli, which had few defenders.Da Chu's soldiers were well-armed, and their number was several times larger than that of the county soldiers. This battle was fought very easily. If it wasn't for fear of damaging the city wall, they might have won in two days.

There were not many casualties.

It was Sun Zhao who commanded the siege, while Lu Jiming remained in Guangqing, training [-] elite soldiers.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze walked all the way to the Sheriff's Mansion. The alley they used to walk lost its former prosperity and looked very cold.

The people dare not go out, the merchants dare not set up their stalls, and the doors of every house are closed. After all, they are still very afraid of war.

Rong Jingxuan sighed.

When the mountains and rivers are turbulent and there are many wars, the life of the people will be sad.There is no business to do, and the fields are not grown well, so the more wars are fought, the poorer the country will be.

This is probably the case with militarism.

Letting the people live a bad life is contrary to Rong Jingxuan's expectations, but he has to do so.

The suffering of one generation can be exchanged for the peace and joy of future generations. He has the courage to endure the eternal infamy, and is willing to work hard to bring Da Chu back to prosperity.

Like his ancestors of the Rong family, what he looks at is not the present, but the unreachable future.

Xie Mingze looked at him and said softly: "It will be fine. Our army is strictly disciplined and will never harass the people. After a few days, they will know that Da Chu is still the same Da Chu."

Rong Jingxuan nodded and said, "I hope so."

The two of them entered the Sheriff's Mansion while they were talking. The Sheriff of Chongli was still the one who was originally Rong Jingxuanli.

The moment Rong Jingxuan rode in through the gate, the county guards in their forties suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are back." He whimpered.

Rong Jingxuan got off his horse, walked up to him and helped him up personally: "Xu Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

Governor Xu was crying with snot and tears, and the soldiers present couldn't stand it anymore and turned their faces away.

In their minds, the sheriff was Da Chen's official yesterday, but he cried and screamed when he saw His Majesty today, which was very artificial.

Governor Xu shouted: "The old minister has been waiting for His Majesty for a long time, and he has kept Chongli well. His Majesty will re-enter the Great Treasure in the future, and the old minister can also retire with peace of mind."

Da Chu is destined to become an official at fifty, and it is true that he has only been around for a few years now.

Although it is said that if you are a county guard, you will always be kept by the court again and again, and there are many people who do not return home until they are in their sixties or seventies, but the county guard is very clear that once the young Emperor Rong can return to Changxin, he will definitely replace most of the courtiers.

Being chased away by others is different from asking to leave on your own initiative.

Rong Jingxuan looked at him with a smile. He used to think that Xu Aiqing was very interesting, but now he seems to have a delicate heart. If he is allowed to become an official, it may be a waste of talent.

"Xu Aiqing is worrying too much. I see that you are in good health. After a while, Chongli's term of office will expire, and you will still be one of your parents when you change places. Please work hard and bring some benefits to the people of Dachu."

After he finished speaking, he exchanged greetings with Sheriff Xu, and let him continue to take charge of the affairs of the county, and held a short meeting at the Sheriff's Mansion temporarily.

Ning Yuan Twenty has always been with him and Xie Mingze, and he is also in charge of the scouts, so it is very cheap to order.

Originally they expected that Chongli would take at least ten days and a half months to conquer, but they did not expect that the county guards of Chongli did not take it seriously. It meant that the city gate was opened in five days, which surprised Rong Jingxuan.

On the contrary, Xie Mingze was born in a family of loyal ministers, so he somewhat understands the minds of ministers.

"My lord, this is a very simple matter. Now that Wuhe and Da Chen are fighting in the north, no one knows what will happen in the end. Except for a few counties with barracks that have changed their guards in the central and southern parts, the others are still Da Chen. Chu Yuan's courtier."

"Since you valued him as a sheriff before, you may not be willing to continue to serve Da Chu. Following you is better than following Chen Shengzhi. Chen Shengzhi has never looked down on scholars. Do you think they can be convinced?"

That must be unconvinced, students are lofty, and no contempt is allowed.Han Chuang has studied hard for decades, and the officialdom has been ups and downs for decades before he reached his current position. Chen Shengzhi wiped out their hard work with one sentence, who can be willing?

Rong Jingxuan was very surprised. He thought for a moment, but he was a little relieved: "If you insist on saying that they are loyal, I'm afraid I still don't believe it. It's reasonable for you to say it this way."

Xie Mingze smiled and said, "This is also human nature."

After they finished talking, Ningyuan Twenty and Sun Zhao were recruited there.

"General Sun, hurry up and arrange the soldiers. We will rest in Chongli for five days and attack Hongdu in five days." Rong Jingxuan said.

The sheriff of Hongdu is not a former minister of Da Chu, it is a hard bone, and he has to gnaw it hard.

Sun Zhao took the order to leave, and Rong Jingxuan said to Ning Yuan again: "What's the news about Duo Muji? How about Guangqing?"

After so many battles, Ning Yuan Twenty has grown up rapidly, and he is now a quite qualified general.The soldiers of Ning Yuanwei are all like him, tall and straight, agile, and they are all elite soldiers among elite soldiers.

"There is no result from Duo Muji's side. Both sides are testing each other. The scouts have been lurking in the surrounding area, and they will send pigeons back as soon as there is any movement. Generals Lu and General Dai in Guangqing have been training troops, and the bow battalion will be built soon."

The most important thing for Rong Jingxuan now is to re-establish several battalions. Needless to say, the firearms battalion is the most important thing, and the bow battalion is also very important. When these two battalions stabilize, Rong Jingxuan will be invincible .

Wuhe didn't have firearms, and Chen Shengzhi didn't pay much attention to them. If Rong Jingxuan rebelled and seized the throne, the first thing he would do was to build the most powerful firearms battalion.

Just like what Emperor Wen said in "The Chronicle of Emperor Wen of the Great Chu Zhi", only firearms can fight the world.

Although Emperor Wen reigned for a very short time, he was a talented and general emperor.Most of the firearms in Yuanshan treasury were ordered by him.

Although Rong Jingxuan had never met him, in Emperor Min's situation, he could only learn the demeanor of his grandfather from the few words in the history books.

To be an emperor, one should take the people as the sky, be broad-minded, be engrossed in all things, and know state affairs.

Emperor Wen can do all of this.

Rong Jingxuan respected him very much, and he couldn't put down his Benji and "Rong's Genealogy·Book of Emperors·Wendi Volume" until he memorized them all in his heart.

He once said to Xie Mingze: "I want to imitate my great-grandfather."

Therefore, regarding firearms, he has been very concerned since he came to court, and even let Fu Yanhe, the son-in-law who can't touch political affairs, enter the supervision bureau.At that time, Da Chu was still his, and he wanted to make Da Chu stronger than before, so he never let go of firearms.

He personally learned how to fire a gun, how to throw a bomb, and even a cannon, and it all worked out.

Yongwu's [-] firearms battalion and Guangqing's [-] firearms battalion became the basis for his comeback.

Thinking of bravery, Rong Jingxuan suddenly said: "Let Duo Muji's scouts send back the battle report twice a day, let the Guangqing camp prepare, and directly attack Feng Yu in five days, let Dai Xian lead the army, and try the bow camp. "

Xie Mingze was taken aback for a moment, he had never been so reserved when talking to Rong Jingxuan, he just said, "Let's fight together?"

Rong Jingxuan nodded: "Let's fight together! Don't forget, Feng Yu's sheriff was chosen by me."

Xie Mingze immediately reacted and smiled knowingly: "It should be safe there, but he is younger and not as experienced as the county guard. Let General Dai bring [-] infantry and [-] firearms battalions, and try not to cause too many casualties."

Ning Yuan made a promise in his twenties, and he was about to turn around and go to work, but Rong Jingxuan stopped him: "Originally, the Valiant Army was scheduled to come to Guangqing in the middle of the month, but now write to them and tell them to wait where they are and prepare to defend the city. "

Let the brave army defend the city?Naturally, Fengcheng is guarded, and Fengning County is the main route to the north. If you want to step into Beier County, you must break through Fengcheng.

The brave army over there is [-]. There are [-] firearm battalions and [-] bow battalions. The brave soldiers have the longest training time, and there are veterans from the previous brave army. It is obviously a strong force.

Let them guard Fengcheng, and they will be foolproof.

Xie Mingze realized it soon, and when Ning Yuan was twenty, he looked up at Rong Jingxuan: "You mean, Chen Shengzhi can't stand it anymore?"

Rong Jingxuan nodded: "He has weapons and firearms in his hands, but he has been tempting with Wuhe, who has a smaller number. Obviously, Wuhe's cavalry is not that simple."

"Wuhe people are tall and strong, they are used to eating cattle and sheep, and they are even stronger. Another thing, they have Emperor Min in their hands, which makes them look famous, and Chen Shengzhi has become a traitor who usurped the throne of a certain dynasty. "

"This battle, if Chen Shengzhi loses, it will be worse than me."

Sometimes people are like this. He went from a farmer to an emperor, and now he has a lot of power.He may have been sober and sensible when he was traveling north, but after becoming the emperor, those rationalities disappeared, leaving only Changxin's resplendent and magnificent hall.

This country is beautiful and delicate, this imperial capital is prosperous and noisy, this country belongs to him, and he owns everything.

So he was not afraid, acted recklessly, and finally tasted the pain.

After all, he has never read so many history books. He doesn't understand that things must be reversed when extremes are extreme, and that prosperity must decline.But they corrected it in time, and achieved the subsequent glory and prosperity.

In addition to the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Names, Rong Jingxuan's first book is nothing but "Da Chu Zhi".

Dozens of history books in Linyuan Pavilion serve as his enlightenment, let him always remember how difficult it is to be an emperor.

He owns the world and can enjoy boundless wealth, but he is the one who can't act recklessly.

"How did he get to that point? If Sun Zhao is still there, and he has two armies, Wuhe might not dare to move."

Xie Mingze looked up at the setting sun slanting to the west outside, and said, "Time is also fate."

"That's his choice, it's his fate. We don't have to worry about him yet, as long as Feng Yu and Hong are both defeated, the situation will be stable."

Rong Jingxuan smiled and said: "Yes, we also traveled from south to north, so we came here as a southern tour, and we will return soon."
