Valley Emperor

Xingquan Mansion, the former prefect yamen of Song Zhiwen, is now inside the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

The core high-level civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty gathered again. The civil officials were naturally the cabinet members headed by Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, Wang Wenhua, Ma Wei, Yang Xiucai, and even old man Xie. The generals are much less.

Only the chief of the combat department Zeng Ziwen, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment Fang Xitong, the artillery battalion commander Xie Ziwei, and some middle-level officers.

As for other senior generals of the military, such as Hao Bainian, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Li Chunjing, commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, Wang Danxu of the 4th Infantry Regiment, Zhou Yibao, commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment, and deputy commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment concurrently serving as the first The battalion commander of the infantry battalion Huang Xueren and the deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment also served as the battalion commander of the 4th Infantry Battalion Fang Dongquan and others.

But today everyone gathered here. Although there are few generals in the military, they are still the main force. Zeng Ziwen is surrounded by everyone. Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu are asking how Zeng Ziwen is doing. .

And Zeng Ziwen did not show any impatience in the face of these chatty civil servants, but explained in detail as much as possible.

Just as everyone was talking, a guard suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

Immediately, everyone in the strategic conference room closed their mouths and turned their eyes to the door.

In the eyes of everyone, a young man wearing a Confucian clothes with golden dragon patterns embroidered on the neckline walked in. This person is naturally the supreme existence of the Tang Dynasty, the eternal sage in Liu Bagou's mouth, their emperor: Li Xuan!

Li Xuan's footsteps did not stop at the door, but walked in for a few consecutive steps, and then sat directly on the top dragon chair.

At this time, all the ministers bowed under the leadership of Liu Bagou and shouted long live.

At this time, Li Xuan lifted his right hand slightly, and said softly: "Flat body!"

At this moment, all the ministers stood up, but today is not an official early morning, so naturally, there is no need to pay too much attention to the order of the stations, and Li Xuan is too lazy to wait for them to say something. nonsense.

Instead, he simply said: "Just now Zeng Aiqing sent a military intelligence report from the frontline head Hao, saying that the Ming army's forward has arrived at the northern border of Liping House, and will soon attack the Tongguwei. This head of Hao's army The newspaper, everyone can take a look!"

When he was talking, he glanced at Huo Shouqi who was standing beside him.

At this moment, Huo Shouqi, a student at the Hanlin Academy, who was holding a small briefcase and standing behind Li Xuan, immediately took out a letter from the small leather bag in his hand. It was the letter that Hao Bainian sent back.

Everyone had only heard Zeng Ziwen say there was a situation before, but it was true that they did not read Hao Bainian's letter in person.

Hao Bainian's military newspaper is very clear. It can be confirmed from many sources that the Ming army of Guizhou has been mobilized under the order of the governor of Guizhou. There are more than 20,000 people in the northeastern and northern areas of Guizhou. There are more than 30,000 Ming troops in the western and central regions of Guizhou, especially in the direction of the provincial capital.

In the next half month, 50,000 people will arrive in Liping House one after another!

In other words, in the past few days, some Ming army forwards have arrived, and half a month later, all 50,000 Ming army will be able to arrive.

And this time is at least a month earlier than the time expected by Tang Junchen, or even more.

Soon, Hao Bainian's military report was circulated by everyone. At this time, Li Xuan said again: "What do you love Qing think about this?"

As the head of the group of ministers, Liu Bagou was naturally the first to speak: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since the pirate army of the false Ming dared to offend our country of the Tang Dynasty, it should be attacked. The minister thought that he should immediately dispatch an army to attack the false Ming Bandit army."

However, after Liu Bagou said that he should attack the puppet thieves, he consciously shut his mouth, because if he said how and where to fight, it would be obviously overstepping his power. First, but there is no power to meddle in military affairs.

War, that's the Privy Council!

So Zeng Ziwen also spoke up. As the director of the Department of Operations, the details of all the large-scale military operations of the Tang Dynasty's new army in the near future were basically planned by him. You also need to come up with a response plan.

Zeng Ziwen said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have summoned all the staff of the Combat Department to start formulating a battle plan. The Combat Department will come up with a complete battle plan later!"

The early attack of the Ming army was almost to take advantage of the fact that the combat division had made before the Ming army had yet to react, to strike Liping House, and then go south to Guangxi to capture Guilin, Liuzhou and other places at the fastest speed, plundering resources such as soldiers, food and salaries. , to expand the troops, and then go back north to Liping House, gather the expanded troops to defeat the main force of more than 50,000 or even 100,000 people in Guizhou Province in one fell swoop, so as to completely establish the victory of the separatist side.

But Zhu Zhihai didn't give them this time, let alone after they took Guangxi and plundered the population and wealth, and now they have not left Liping House and headed south to Guangxi, Zhu Zhihai's army just couldn't wait to kill them.

In fact, whether it was Li Xuan or Zeng Ziwen, they all despised the Ming Dynasty, or how much Zhu Zhihai attached them.

Li Xuan and Zeng Ziwen had always thought that they were making small troubles. Even if the Ming army would send a large army to suppress it, they would not take it too seriously. After a few months of official wrangling, they would slowly transfer troops.

But they forgot that they were no longer a group of small bandits, but a separatist regime with tens of thousands of troops who had already conquered an entire prefecture, and the Bingfeng had begun to expand to the surrounding prefectures and counties.

More importantly, the Tang Dynasty was still the kind of rebellious regime that officially called itself the emperor. If this kind of thing was put on a year ago, everyone would have just regarded it as a joke. There are tens of thousands of troops, and they are divided into one government. Do you still take them as a joke?

Then it is not that the Tang Dynasty is a joke, but the Ming Dynasty is a joke.

There is no doubt that the Datang Dynasty after the capture of Xingquan Mansion has been really taken seriously by the Ming Dynasty, especially in the hearts of local officials in Guizhou Province, the pseudo-Tang thief army has actually become a serious problem.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Zhihai be furious, and then mobilize the entire Guizhou force to try to encircle and suppress the pseudo-Tang bandit army!

Now Li Xuan and Zeng Ziwen don't know that the names of their Tang Dynasty have been passed down to the capital in the north along with Zhu Zhihai's memorial. The pirate army.

In the end, the wise and wise Emperor Zhengde issued an imperial decree. What did the imperial decree say?

Very simple, let the governor of Guizhou, Zhu Zhihai, quickly suppress the thieves!

As for the rest, sorry, no more!

It can also be seen from this that the reaction of the Ming Dynasty to the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was different from different classes.

Officials at the provincial capital were worried and angry. For example, Zhu Zhihai, he must have seen the danger of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, who could wipe out Song Zhiwen’s tens of thousands of troops. Who would dare to say that they were It's just a group of bandits in the valleys. Zhu Zhihai dares to slap him with a big mouth. Have you ever seen bandits who wiped out tens of thousands of officers and soldiers?

Therefore, Zhu Zhihai prepared to dispatch a large army from the whole province to suppress the pseudo-Tang bandit army.

And the big bosses in the capital were just a little surprised when they heard this, and then they might sigh: "It's a troubled autumn, this is the first time to rebel this year, the seventh or the eighth time? "

That's right, for the Ming Dynasty, which had to suppress N+1 rebellions every year, a small-scale rebellion in a remote area could not move those cabinet bosses, and wanted them to really feel it. It was painful, the Tang Dynasty still occupied the entire Guizhou first, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Ming troops. Now, I want to make the big bosses of the Ming Dynasty make a fuss and dream.

What's more, the court situation has been unstable in the past two years. His Majesty's dragon body is getting worse and worse. From the beginning to the end of the year, the soup and medicine have not stopped. Since the Prince of the East Palace made a mistake when he was supervising the country the previous year, he was ordered by His Majesty to think about it behind closed doors. It's been two years.

The crown prince was ordered to think behind closed doors for more than two years, so that several other princes covet the position of the crown prince. In addition, His Majesty is already old and the dragon's body is worrying. Maybe it will die tomorrow.

At such a critical juncture, many of the bigwigs in the court were all careful and could no longer be careful.

In the past few years, if you are lucky, you will rise to a higher level, but if you are not careful, you will provoke the disaster of looting the family and destroying the family.

Compared with the chaotic situation in the DPRK and China and the struggle for the state, a small rebellion in a remote area in the southwest is nothing. Wait until that thief named Li Xuan has entered the prosperous places in Huguang and even Jiangnan and grabbed the top card of the Qinhuai River. Not too late.

The patriotic women on the Qinhuai River were not taken away~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What a hurry!

Li Xuan, the rebel leader in a remote place, naturally didn't know what the situation was in the Ming Dynasty, but there was little difference between knowing and not knowing.

Not to mention whether the capital bosses in the Ming Dynasty paid attention to it or not, just Zhu Zhihai, the governor of Guizhou, is enough for Li Xuan to drink a pot!

That was fifty thousand, and the thought of fifty thousand made him feel Alexander!

Liu Bagou, Zeng Ziwen and several others spoke in succession, saying that they must fight, to make the Ming army beat the **** out of it, to capture Zhu Zhihai alive, etc. However, the detailed strategic arrangements will naturally not be discussed on this occasion, and Liu Bagou and the others talked about military issues, but it wasn't that the horses and horses were irrelevant.

The purpose of the Cabinet's participation in this meeting today is very simple, that is, to let them solve the logistical problems of the army.

So in the middle of the meeting, when Zeng Ziwen said: "The war is coming, and the soldiers in the army are short of food, salaries and weapons!".

Li Xuan turned his attention to Liu Bagou and the ministers of the cabinet.
