After discussing for a long time, everyone still couldn't figure out any solution. Gao Jin could only ask Zhang Miao and Lady Lin to act separately and take precautions for their subordinate departments to ensure the safety of their departments.

In addition, the collection and preparation of materials must be carried out immediately. Once you have the opportunity to go south to Gaojin's headquarters, it will take the shortest time to get out. At this time, any carelessness will bring serious consequences, and Gaojin dare not take it lightly at all.

"Your Majesty, the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. You don't have to worry too much about this. Perhaps the situation is not as serious as you imagined." Wang Wan'er comforted her when she saw Gao Jin frowning.

Wang Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack us at that time, it would have sent troops long ago. The Ming Dynasty has not taken direct action against us in recent years. I think there is still some incense friendship. Besides, you are still considered the marquis of the Ming Dynasty no matter what you say. Yunnan is not yet determined. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty still needs our ideas and should not turn against us directly."

The sisters' comfort made Gao Jin's face relieve a little, but he knew in his heart that this was just comfort. As for the so-called incense feeling, it was just a casual talk. You should know that although Gao Jin's troops were from the rebel army with the Ming Dynasty, they were actually essentially different.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is orthodox, while the Gao Jin tribe is an independent local force. Besides, Zhu Yicheng was a puppet controlled by Yuan Qi at the time. If it weren't for the defeat in Hangzhou, Zhu Yicheng would probably not have escaped Yuan Qi's control.

So, the incense is not a little bit too much, but there is a grudge. However, after Yuan Qi's death, Zhu Yicheng did not pursue this matter again, but who can guarantee that Zhu Yicheng doesn't remember this matter?

As for what kind of marquis, it is not a big deal. When the rebel army raised its troops, the so-called marquis, marquis, generals, generals, commanders and commanders were not known how many of them were granted. Zhu Yicheng, as a nominal ruling, was granted by him on the surface, but in fact it was created by Yuan Qi to win over the crowd.

As time goes by, these titles and positions have long been lost. Moreover, after Zhu Yicheng restored the country in Nanjing, he had extremely strict control over the titles of the Ming Dynasty. Even the heroes who followed Zhu Yicheng to conquer the world have not been fully awarded the titles.

As for the previous official titles, the Ming Dynasty, for some considerations, or like the "unified front" in later generations, still recognized some official titles of the rebel army on the surface, including Gao Jin's marquis and the so-called King of Song after Zhao Hongcan.

But Gao Jin knew very well that he, the marquis, could not count. If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to attack him, let alone the marquis, even the prince would be of no use.

Gao Jin was a loyal and righteous man, but he was also a qualified commander. He knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had not attacked him before, mainly because the Ming Dynasty wanted to use his own hands to solve the war situation in the southwest. Now that Zhao Hongcan is dead, Guangxi has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, next is Guizhou. After the Ming Dynasty annexed Zhao Hongcan's power, it will be the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and Gao Jin, including him.

Although he was very worried, when facing the two wives, Gao Jin laughed with them as if he had eliminated his worries. He seemed to be no longer worried about his current situation, but instead he talked to them with interest.

When it was late at night, Gao Jin asked them to rest first, but he sat in the study and stared blankly at the lights jumping on the table. Under Gao Jin's calm surface, he was extremely anxious and uneasy, because he knew very well that this might be the most difficult choice and decision in his own body.

Once you make a mistake, the consequences of waiting are very serious. Gao Jin himself is not afraid of death. If he can exchange his death for the safety of his wife and children and his brothers and sisters who follow him, Gao Jin can die without hesitation.

But Gao Jin knew that this was useless. Since he took over the power of the White Lotus Sect from Wang Zhiqing, Gao Jin realized that he could no longer live in peace with the Ming Dynasty, unless Gao Jin could destroy the entire White Lotus Sect with his own hands and let the Ming Dynasty completely eliminate his concerns. What's more, the Ming Dynasty has occupied most of the world, so how can he continue to tolerate local forces like Gao Jin?

This is also the main reason why Gao Jin had decided to go south to Guizhou and planned to go abroad. Unfortunately, Gao Jin did not expect something suddenly to happen to Zhao Hongcan. Zhao Hongcan's death now completely disrupted his plan and put his side in trouble.

With his brows frowned, Gao Jin couldn't help but think of Yuan Qi in his mind, and what Yuan Qi said to him before his death. If he could listen to Yuan Qi's words and defect to the Ming Dynasty at that time, he would not have faced such a dilemma now. But Gao Jin did not regret that he had made the current choice, because only in this way could he help Yuan Qi take revenge and preserve Yuan Qi's efforts back then.

At the same time, he thought of Wang Zhiqing. Wang Zhi had disappeared from his place in the morning. This old man who once had a million troops and intended to compete for the world completely lost his ambition after the defeat in the Central Plains. He handed over the power in his hand to Gao Jin, thus living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

After Wang Zhiqing left like this, everything in the White Lotus Sect pressed on Gao Jin, just like a shackle that could never be free.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gao Jin was still sitting quietly, but he still couldn't figure out a way to break the deadlock. In the end, he sighed, as if he had made some decision. Maybe only this path can be taken, but can this path be done? Gao Jin was not very sure, but he had to give it a try anyway.

Yue Zhongqi's army was stationed near the intersection of Yunnan and Guizhou. This famous General Yue conquered his subordinates with his military ability and personal charm. You should know that after Yue Zhongqi entered the Ming Dynasty, although many people in the Ming army admitted that Yue Zhongqi was a rare general in the Qing army, many people were dissatisfied with Zhu Yicheng's so much value and entrusted with such important tasks.

Especially those senior generals who followed Zhu Yicheng through many battles did not agree with Yue Zhongqi. In their opinion, although Yue Zhongqi could fight, she was different from being defeated in front of the Ming Dynasty and voluntarily withdrew from Jiangbei?

What's more, the Ming Dynasty's military strength has been obvious to all in recent years. It has almost no opponent in the world, especially the new army is extremely powerful. In the eyes of most people, Daming treats Yue Zhongqi well just Zhu Yicheng's strategy. In fact, there is no need to raise Yue Zhongqi, a surrendered general, so high. At present, Yue Zhongqi's position in the army exceeds that of most generals, second only to several old generals, which makes many people feel dissatisfied.

But as time goes by, the abilities and talents that Yue Zhongqi showed gradually became amazing. After Yue Zhongqi led the strange troops into Sichuan and directly captured the entire Sichuan at a very small price, those who had complained at the beginning had to admit Yue Zhongqi's military ability.

Now, Yue Zhongqi decisively left Sichuan, took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army's retreat to occupy the northwest territory of Guizhou and approached Yunnan. The timing, route and decisive decision of the Ming army's victory was easy, which made his subordinates convinced.
