Above Jinling, there is a lot of haze.

The tension has spread.

All ministries are in a hurry, and all prefectures and counties in the south are in a hurry.

Zhu Gaosui went to Empress Dowager Xu to ask his wife early in the morning. Empress Dowager Xu's illness had worsened and she couldn't get up for several days. The more at this moment, Zhu Gaosui felt that the importance of this empress dowager was.

The rioters have taken over Guangdong and Guangxi, and the situation has changed. The advantage that the imperial court has previously had has disappeared. Of course, this battle has to be fought, but Zhu Gaosui is a little undecided in how to fight.

To a certain extent, losing Lai Jun suddenly left Zhu Gaosui without anyone. This was his dilemma, so what he could rely on now was the heroes of Jingnan.

Such as Zhang Fu, Xu Jingming, Zhu Yong, and even Qiu Fu, who is now neglected.

Except for these people who can still lead troops, it is impossible for others to even consider it.

This is the most depressing thing about Zhu Gaosui, and it is also the biggest disadvantage of the Ming army. Over the years, there have been many hills within the Ming army. Orders of ordinary people cannot suppress these arrogant Lao Qiu Ba. The only one who can be dispatched is only these families. Even if the others are Han Xin reborn and a genius, once they become generals, they are afraid that they can't even take the troops, so why do they talk about marching and formation?

Zhu Gaosui only saw the facts clearly now. He suddenly felt that the prosperous scene left by Yongle to him was just a scene, and there were many messes inside, such as these heroes in the Jingnan Dynasty.

But the heroes of Jingnan all have one thing in common. Most of them only subdued two people. One is Zhu Gaosui's father Zhu Di, but now Zhu Di is dead. The other is Xu Da.

That's right, almost all the soldiers in Zhu Di's army in Beiping were brought by Xu Da. When Zhu Di was appointed as the King of Yan to station in Beiping. Xu Da was ordered to control the army and horses in the border towns and adopt a high-pressure situation against the desert. He was also stationed in Beiping. Xu Da and Zhu Di were both husband and son-in-law and master and apprentice. Not only was Zhu Di the mentors in Jingnan, but most of the heroes in Beiping were lackeys under Xu Da. Martial officials and civil officials were similar to those in civil servants, and they all paid attention to drinking water and remembering their source. Whoever came from whom and who was on the hill must be sorted out well, and they should not be messed up. If it is messed up, it would be injustice.

Zhu Gaosui then became more and more aware of the importance of Empress Dowager Bai Xu. Empress Dowager Xu is not only the Empress Dowager, but also the daughter of Xu Da. She represents the Xu family. To a certain extent, it also represents the power of the various hills in the army.

It turns out that there are still so many individuals who have been fighting.

The Jingnan heroes who have continued from the founding heroes of the country have now become heroes of the country. From the founding of the country to the present, in fact, there are still so many families who have fought over and over again. It is really a bleak autumn wind, which makes people feel very melancholy.

Once you understand the importance of this, Zhu Gaosui has to be more virtuous and filial.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Xu was very caring to him. Although she was seriously ill, she was quite concerned about her son's situation.

"Your Majesty. Now, according to the Ai family, it is urgent to sanction the army and protect Jiangxi."

"What my mother said is very much, but..." Zhu Gaosui sighed, and he suddenly thought of Lai Jun's pleasure.

In fact, there are still soldiers to fight. Another 100,000 people were allocated to the border towns, and there were only more than 100,000 guards in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and tens of thousands of them could be allocated to Shandong and other places. As for the capital, hundreds of thousands of new troops could not be moved. Others stationed in Jiangxi can still fight.

But Zhu Gaosui felt that the situation was not optimistic and even a little bad.

Zhu Gaosui pondered for a moment, but there was one thing he wanted to discuss with Empress Dowager Xu: "My son thinks that Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jingchu, and Guangdong, Neo-Confucianism are prevalent there, and most people are good gentry. They have always been irreconcilable to the traitors. If the Langshan army invaded Jiangxi, many gentry would beat their chests and fall down. Mother, the hearts of the people are ultimately towards our court. A few days ago, Mr. Huang made a suggestion that he was from Jiangxi.

I heard that many loyal and righteous people in the village had already produced grain and grain, and some were given out. They gathered militias from many places to protect themselves and assist the court in suppressing the thieves. Now it is an extraordinary time. Mr. Huang suggested that those officials who obeyed the local system, some ministers who retired, and some loyal and kind gentry in some places also began to follow this matter, collecting money and grain from various villages and training villages in order to prepare for emergencies."

There were many ministers in Jiangxi in the court, especially the cabinet. Almost half of them were from Jiangxi. To put it bluntly, they were all big landlords. Now the rioters are about to enter Jiangxi. Although many of them have fled with their families, their family business is in the village. How can they bear to give up? The atmosphere of Jiangxi Neo-Confucianism is the most important base for the anti-Hao family. These people often curse at the Hao family. If the chaos army really takes over Jiangxi, their family property will probably be destroyed.

Now these ministers in Jiangxi are even more anxious than the emperor. After all, their ancestral tombs are still in their hometown.

Zhu Gaosui was quite optimistic about this, but he was also a little worried. Once the local military power was given, it would not be easy to take it back in the future.

But at the moment, I can't control so much.

He came to ask Empress Dowager Xu, who was asking for advice on the surface, but in fact he was testing Empress Dowager Xu's attitude.

Empress Dowager Xu pursed her lips, then frowned, and coughed, "Well, the Ai family, you have to take the initiative in this matter. The strategy of this village group is to hurt people and yourself."

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Empress Dowager Xu, and could not understand Empress Dowager Xu's attitude for a while, so he smiled and said, "In extraordinary times, the principles should be practiced as extraordinary methods."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After coming out of Wanshou Palace, a message came like a bolt from the blue.

The Mu family sent secret envoys to Lang Son, most of whom wanted to lead their troops to surrender.

Zhu Gaosui stood still and then was stunned.

He never expected that things would be so bad.

"The Mu family... Damn it!"

Zhu Gaosui's eyes turned cold and he stood in a daze in the warm pavilion, motionless.

After a long time, he barely supported the desk and finally breathed a long sigh.

Yunnan is over.

The most important thing is, what will happen in the end to hundreds of thousands of troops in Yunnan?

I think those who refuse to surrender will definitely retreat to Sichuan and Guizhou areas. But next, the court will finally face the hundreds of thousands of Lang Shan troops.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui's heart couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

However, at this time, someone asked for a good visit.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingming, Duke of Ding, asked for a visit."

Zhu Gaosui frowned, what did he do?

At this time, Zhu Gaosui didn't want to see anyone, so he was like a wounded hungry wolf, and urgently needed to find a desolate place to lick his wounds.

Besides, although Xu Jingming was not punished, he was still a defeated general after all. At this time, this guy came over, but he didn't know what he wanted to do?

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaosui still suppressed the turbulent anger in his heart and said, "Call in."

After a while, Xu Jingming arrived.

This guy was wearing a python suit and looked decent. When he saw Zhu Gaosui, he bowed his head and said, "My minister Xu Jingming, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Gaoshui had a gloomy face and did not make any sound.

Xu Jingming was thick-skinned and didn't care about this. In fact, the emperor didn't like him. He knew it in his heart, so he laughed and said, "I heard the bad news and came immediately. Oh... Your Majesty, I am loyal. I have a word in my heart, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Without waiting for Zhu Gaosui to say something but said it was okay, he sighed on his own: "Since ancient times, the only one who died, Lai Jun was afraid of death. The surname Mu was also afraid of death. It is easy to get a thousand gold, but it is hard to find a good general. I thought about it and suddenly felt that the court was difficult. I was a loyal minister. My ancestor, the king of Zhongshan, worked hard to establish the country. My father was in trouble. When I reached this generation, I could not bear humiliation. I was determined to repay the emperor's kindness and not to be a good general, but I had to work loyally and hard. I beg Your Majesty to be a small soldier under the army. I was willing to charge forward and share your worries. In this way, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

The man's eyes turned red when he spoke, and he looked angry and rushed.

Zhu Gaosui sneered in his heart, your mother really has the ambition she said today, she has long died in the city of Guangzhou, so she still has to say these words in front of me?

But Zhu Gaosui did not point it out. In fact, at this time, Lai Jun escaped at the battle and the Mu family was connected with thieves. At this moment, the most important thing for the court is to establish a typical example. What is a typical example? The so-called typical example is to tell everyone that there are still loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has loyal ministers, so the country of the Ming Dynasty will not perish.

Now, Xu Jingming is just right. To some extent, although Zhu Gaosui disagreed, he also understands that the title of loyal ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty is probably the Xu family.

Speaking of which, this is ridiculous, but in fact, it is indeed an urgent issue. Several consecutive defeats were caused by military officers, fearing death, and living a life of silence. The capital was probably already discussed. As the emperor, this is actually similar to the stock trading in later generations. If you want to maintain it, it is nothing more than two words, confidence.

With confidence, no matter how rubbish stocks are, they can still buy them. If you don’t expect to speculate on concepts, it’s just a fool.

Now, what the Ming Dynasty needs most is a archway, which is very important. This guy who almost burst into tears for the situation of the court, but as a duke, he would rather be a small soldier in the border army appeared just right.
