Chapter 141 The clan left behind and fake Huang Cheng
I admired you in my previous life, and I respect you in this life. But if you want to reverse the situation and repeat China, I have to take the lead. This is fate.
Zhu Yongxing kept a low profile and went out of the city to greet Li Dingguo, but he reminded himself repeatedly in his heart that he had to act neither humble nor arrogant today, but he must not let others underestimate him.
……………
"His Royal Highness Min has decreed that the officers and soldiers accompanying the King of Jin will be unwavering, loyal and courageous, which is commendable. There is no need for large gifts when meeting, military salutes will suffice."
Li Dingguo looked at Prince Ma Bao of Ruyang who came to convey the message, shook his head slightly and said: "His Royal Highness Min is kind, but he cannot let the soldiers lose their etiquette."
According to the system established by Zhu Chongba, no matter how high the status of ordinary people is, they cannot be compared with the people of the Zhu family. Even if they are just generals who have passed down the country from a collateral line, or even lieutenants, as long as they are members of the Zhu family, officials will see them.
You have to kowtow when you are here, even if you are the elder of the pavilion or the minister. What's more, Zhu Yongxing is the heir apparent of King Min and has the reputation of staying in the imperial court. If Li Dingguo is not a fake Huang Cheng, he should also pay homage with great ceremony.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Seeing that Li Dingguo seemed to be refusing, Ma Bao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty does not know that His Highness Min issued an order to abolish kneeling in the army when he was in Tengchong, out of gratitude for the value of the generals in the army.
When the country was in crisis, he was still loyal to the court and fought with blood for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's right!" Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "His Highness Min intends to elevate the status of the generals in the army, and I am also benefiting from it, so just follow His Highness Min."
Seeing that the order was passed, Ma Bao breathed a sigh of relief and fell one horse head behind Li Dingguo to accompany him. However, Li Dingguo smiled and waved, gesturing for him to come closer and talk.
Although he was already a county king, he was one step lower than Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo's many years of prestige still made Ma Bao and others in awe. Therefore, Ma Bao bowed very respectfully, urged his horse to take two steps forward, bowed slightly, and waited.
Asked by Li Dingguo.
"After His Highness Min first arrived in Tengchong, he sent someone to deliver a message. The methods he taught to eliminate miasma and treat diseases were quite effective and saved many of our army's generals." Li Dingguo's face calmed down again and he said slowly: "I heard that His Highness Min has died.
I don’t know if the divine power is real or not?”
"General, I think there should be no doubt." Ma Bao replied in a low voice: "Not only can you cure diseases, but His Highness Min can also use the Yangmen Formation to boost the power of artillery. Only then can our army conquer three villages in one day and defeat the poor."
Chasing close to a hundred miles for a great victory."
"Oh, please tell me in detail." Li Dingguo's eyes flashed and he urged.
Ma Bao organized his thoughts and began to tell the story of the Tengchong War. He told it briefly before retreating to Tengchong, but then he became more detailed after he personally participated in it.
"Xian Guo'an has been in battle for a long time, and it is quite good to be able to set up the Yin×men formation in a hurry." Li Dingguo listened and interjected, "His Royal Highness Min said: 'There are no taboos in fighting crimes for heaven', which seems to be a bit pretentious.
Da. This is common sense in the military. I think Your Highness has no such experience."
"What the king said is true." Ma Bao echoed and said: "If the general had not been waiting for you, His Highness Min would not have drawn his sword and prayed, so that the artillery would be more powerful and defeat the enemy with one drum."
"Is the sword Shang Fang's sword?" Li Dingguo asked again.
"Your Majesty guessed right." Ma Bao didn't know what was going on, so he had to make up his mind casually.
That may be the power of the sword given to Shang Fang by the emperor, but the Huang Cheng in his hand has no function of helping the battle. Li Dingguo is still puzzled, but he still admires Zhu Yongxing for daring to go to the battle in person. The children of the Zhu family, except Long
The two emperors Wu and Shao Wu once led military expeditions in person to boost morale, but I am afraid they will never do such a heroic act again.
Thinking of Yongli entering Burma and abandoning his country, Li Dingguo couldn't help but secretly sigh. If His Majesty had a little sense of responsibility and courage, there would be no need for the clan to stay behind to win people's hearts.
"Did His Highness Min ever say anything about rescuing the emperor and returning him to the country?" Li Dingguo put aside the sudden surge of emotion and asked quietly.
Ma Bao hesitated for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness Min once said that if Kunming is no longer there, there will be no way to welcome them. He also said: Myanmar is a small country. If our army enters by force, they will be frightened and refuse to fight; if they kill or injure their people
, will definitely be enemies with them, which will be of no benefit to Your Majesty. And if our army can defeat the Tartars and their military strength increases greatly, and they are worried about our army, we can discuss with them where to meet them and get out of danger."
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, and this was somewhat similar to his idea. Although it was not the same, it was still a safe method. But it was not easy to recover Kunming?
When Ma Bao saw that Li Dingguo was silent, he added: "His Royal Highness Min intends to launch another large-scale attack after the rainy season in September. If the three armies cooperate sincerely, it may not be impossible to regain the lost territory and severely defeat the Qing army."
Three armies? King Li Jin frowned for a moment and understood. Zhao Wang Bai Wen selected Tengchong and Longling in western Yunnan, and he led the troops in Mo Nai and Jingdong in central Yunnan. His Highness Min led his troops in eastern Yunnan and Annan. If he launched at the same time
, and then combined with the chieftains, it is indeed possible to make it difficult for the Qing army in Yunnan Province to take care of the head and tail.
But who should lead these three armies and who should take orders? Li Dingguo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. His Highness Min must have discussed it with Bai Wenxuan and had a tacit understanding. Now he is waiting for himself to express his position? If he still takes the fake
Huang Cheng said that although there would be no fighting between swords and internal strife, His Highness Min and Bai Wenxuan would also get rid of him, and the two armies would jointly act. Furthermore, His Majesty sent the clan to stay in Yunnan Province, didn't he mean to blame himself?
From Bai Wenxuan's letter, Li Dingguo has already seen Bai Wenxuan's attitude towards Zhu Yongxing, which is respectful and admirable. Although there are no clear words, the intention of His Highness Min to obey has been fully revealed. What heroic determination, divine blessing, and hope of ZTE
...praising words without being stingy.
We must take the overall situation into consideration and unite sincerely. Li Dingguo reminded himself repeatedly in his heart, and suppressed a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart. How did Guiyang lose, and how was it driven out of Kunming by the Qing army? The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou were defeated like mountains.
How did it happen? The lesson was vivid in his mind, and Li Dingguo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"His Royal Highness Min wants to set up a staff headquarters, composed of veteran generals on the battlefield, to plan combat plans and coordinate the actions of the three armies." Ma Bao saw that Li Dingguo's face was uncertain, so he had to reveal more internal information, "His Royal Highness Zhao may send Zhenshuo Bo to Wu San Province
As for the commander-in-chief Chen Yiyao, His Highness Min seems to have appointed the Duke of Syria, Ma Weixing, and the Duke of Lu, Qi Sansheng. I wonder what the king wants? Is there any suitable candidate?"
General Staff Headquarters is another new term. It should be a tribute to the military! Li Dingguo nodded slightly and said calmly: "I would like to ask King Ruyang to describe the functions and composition of the General Staff Headquarters in detail so that I can know more about it."
.”
"His Royal Highness Min once said: There are some commanders in history who do not need others to praise their paintings. Instead, they think about problems and make up their own minds, and the people around them just execute his will. But such a superstar like the king will rarely appear in a century.
Therefore, it is necessary to form an advisory group-type organization..."
