The rumors in the camp were simply uncontrollable. It was okay that the benefits of Lang Shan’s army were only mentioned in this camp, but when no one was in charge, even worse rumors appeared.

His Majesty is killing his father and brother. It is said that he collects beauties from all over the world in the palace and sings every night...

In fact, there are not many people who dare to tell the story directly in the palace. They are all spread in private and are also stories told by students Chen in vivid detail back then. In fact, they have no artistic processing. They just put King Zhou's set on Zhu Gaosui. However, this kind of thing is actually the most attractive. They don't expect tens of thousands of people to spread the story. However, even if only 10% of the people said this, the entire Ming army camp would know it.

Originally, everyone thought that the people in the city were thieves, but his mother thief actually had wine and meat every day. Moreover, the thief leader Hao Fenglou was not as fierce as the legendary one. Instead, he was very polite and loved soldiers like his sons.

On the other hand, I said that it was an official army, but everyone really had no confidence. Therefore, many people were not interested in fighting, and even the training was lazy. The scouts released were perfunctory and refused to really spy on any military information. Although the battalions only besieged the city and did not attack the city, they occasionally needed to bluff, soldiers and horses came out to welcome them, drums to practice, and shock the thieves in the city.

It’s just a pity that the situation is very bad. These Qiu Bas are unable to control them at all, so they have no earlier morale.

Zhang Fu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Of course, he knew the greatness of rumors, and the group of Death Qiu Ba who was full of big fish and meat and big white rice were like this. But at the moment, a big defeat made him dare not easily hold a group of people and chop off his head to serve as a warning to others. So he could only stare at him, otherwise it would cause a mutiny.

On the other hand, the strength in Guangzhou City doubled, and a large number of personnel were replenished. The surrendered Ming army immediately dispersed and organized into various battalions, and then began to practice. These people were brave and good at fighting, and now they had to teach them the rules. The Lang San army in the city had expanded to 25,000. The troops were strong and strong. In time, if the Ming army dared to attack the city, it would never be as difficult as before.

Because of a great victory, everyone's morale was high. Hao Fenglou personally supervised the training and ordered people to go to Shihai Defense to quickly transport supplies. The Guangzhou city was like a firm nail. It was nailed to the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, attracting hundreds of thousands of troops, and sharing the great pressure for the defenders of Lang Son and Guilin.

That big defeat caused the entire Jinling to be inexplicably panic.

The 300,000 army that the court could take on, attacked an isolated city. Nearly 30% of it was lost in one day. This was just the first battle with the Lang Son Army, but this battle really made people see the gap between the Ming army and the Lang Son Army. Although the defenders had the advantage of the territory, everyone also knew that these Lang Son Army equipped with the latest muskets were good at defending, but if they were defeated, they were defeated. They were defeated so thoroughly that some people in Jinling began to spread countless rumors.

Some say that Zhang Fu colluded with the enemy, some say that Hao Fenglou invited demon soldiers to help the battle, and some even said privately that this was the emperor's loss of morality.

This was the case with the ancients. No matter what happened, whether it was thunder, lightning, earth collapse, or defeat, or where a plague occurred, the blame would be generally put on the emperor's head. This is obviously unreasonable, but then again, in order to rule, the emperor inevitably added some mythical color to himself. It was nothing more than saying that he was ordered by heaven and was the pride of heaven. Since he was the son of God and commanded all directions, it would naturally be legitimate. But everything has advantages and disadvantages. If you say you are the emperor, but you have suffered such great defeat, then everyone still recognizes you as God's son, but why did God's son encounter such setbacks? Confucianism gave an explanation and lost virtue.

There are many reasons for losing virtue, such as having sex with men and women, and having sex with men and women, and not paying attention to national affairs all day long. Your Majesty seems to have nothing to do with these two things. Who doesn’t know that Your Majesty is famous for not being close to women now, and once sent off a group of beautiful women and put them back to the people. As for ignoring national affairs, it is even more a joke. Your Majesty has started to handle military and political affairs since the hour of the Mao period, and is so diligent. Do you have the nerve to say that he ignores national affairs?

And the next guess became terrible. Could it be because of the wrong position?

This is the simplest way to eliminate it. The people are still very logical and reasoning. After thinking about it, they immediately came up with the most terrifying answer.

The four words "injustice" of gaining the throne can have many reasons for a founding emperor, but for the current Ming Dynasty, if you think of the bizarre death of the late emperor and the prince again, then all the answers will be revealed.

Zhu Gaosui was very annoyed at this moment because Ma Yu from the Jinyiwei had already taken many evil words to deceive the public, but even so, similar rumors were still repeatedly banned.

A crushing defeat in Guangdong also added a bit of gloom in his heart.

He worked hard every day to manage the national affairs without any hesitation, and did not dare to neglect any of them. He paid attention to the progress of the army every day, and almost met their requests. In order to support the suppression of the rebellion, he gritted his teeth and almost exhausted all his energy to raise money and food. But now, what is the reward? The reward was a big defeat, which shocked the world and caused chaos in Jinling now.

"Damn Zhang Fu, damn Zhang Fu... and the surname Mu, and the surname Mu are not good things."

Zhang Fu's defeat was like a blow to Zhu Gaosui, but Mu Sheng also made Zhu Gaosui's head-on frustrated.

Mu Sheng kept his troops still and refused to advance no matter how much he urged him. He repeatedly wrote letters saying that the Ming army in Guilin was holding onto the place, with sufficient supplies and 30,000 elite troops, and rashly attacking the city, it would be extremely costly. If Lang Son's army and horses went north with all their might, it would cause the Ming army on the front line of Guangxi to be in a situation where they were attacked from both sides. But if they rashly attack Lang Son, the enemy in Guilin would be very likely to take advantage of the situation to attack Nanning and seize the Ming army's retreat. Guilin and Lang Son have now formed a striking force. They should not attack rashly, but should just drag and wait for the opportunity to fight.

Mu Sheng's deployment was obviously much more secure than Zhang Fu, especially after Zhang Fu's defeat, which made him even more cautious. The 10,000 elite soldiers in Guangzhou City resisted the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, while Guilin City had 30,000 elite soldiers and 70,000 to 80,000 troops were eyeing him. At this time, any bold military action may have extremely serious consequences.

But Zhu Gaosui didn't think so. He was very eager for a great victory and wanted his Ming Dynasty to give him a shot of a heart-warming agent. But just as the wars in various places were extremely unhappy. Moreover, the news of the Jinyiwei coming, Lang Son was urgently trained new recruits, and the continuous recruits were replenishing Lang Son's army. In time, Lang Son's army would expand several times, which would be really bad.

As usual today, the bachelor of the cabinet is coming to see him.

Huang Huai and others have not had a good life. Now His Majesty always urges the Ministry of Revenue to take out the money and order the Ministry of War to do something. Of course, they have to follow His Majesty's thoughts, but some things cannot be done at all. If they fail to do it, they will inevitably be scolded. In the end, they will be cursed, but Huang Huai is still unlucky.

Huang Huai is not a fool. He is very clear about how much family the Ming Dynasty has. It is already extremely difficult to maintain the status quo. If he does not control it, it will be really bad.

Every time he met, Huang Huai was like an old monk sitting down and did not dare to speak easily. Even if His Majesty asked, he could only make excuses. Huang Huai had already felt that His Majesty's patience had been worn down less and less. If this continued, it would not be a blessing for the court, and even his own wealth and life might be taken in.

But Huang Huai had no choice. Although he was a cunning person, it did not mean that he could sprinkle beans and become soldiers.

Huang Huai has been in a bad mood these days. He hired an imperial physician to treat him. He said he needed to rest, but he did not dare to take leave while sick, so he could only drag his broken body to share his worries every day.

Today, Zhu Gaosui was holding a new report, but the report was handed over by the Jinyiwei. He sneered, looked at Huang Huai, looked at other scholars and ministers, and said with murderous intent: "Did you see it? Did you see it? The Guangdong camp is now full of evil words, and there are all kinds of ignorant words and filthy words everywhere. What does Zhang Fu make for? I trust him so much and never owed him any less. I asked him to command hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and give such great trust. He did it

What? I have long heard that Zhang Fu is afraid of being a thief. He first attacked the city in a hurry, and then returned in vain. But Hao Fenglou actually released tens of thousands of prisoners. Goodbye, are there two armies fighting in this world? But Hao Fenglou was released. I have long suspected Zhang Fu and Hao Fenglou..." Speaking of this, Zhu Gaosui's face became even more gloomy. This was the problem he had always worried about. Once Pandora's box was opened, he became suspicious of Zhang Fu and could no longer contain it.
