With a force of less than one million people, more than 300000 people were previously used in Yunnan. They were defeated several times, plus 100000, but they were still defeated. In this way, even if all the troops of Nanming were assembled, they were only about 500000, or even less. These people still need to guard many cities and state capitals. They can't be fully mobilized. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be riots not only in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong, but also in other places because there is no army.

If there are no available soldiers, it is like a skillful woman who can't cook without rice. It's difficult for anyone to solve the problem in a short time.

Of course, if it can't be solved now, it doesn't mean it can't be solved in the future. For example, we can recruit again. After the rule of benevolence, the population of Daming is still large. It is not difficult to recruit millions of troops under the order. The difficulty is that there is no such time.

Conscription takes time, and training also takes time. If we really recruit millions of people, I'm afraid we can't improve it in two years. For such a long time, will the people of minwang series give it? What if they kill them at this time? I'm afraid the situation will be more chaotic.

Even if it's too late for conscription, there's another way that may be feasible. Is to ask for help from Beiming.

Today's northern Ming Dynasty has no war because of geography. I heard that a lot of soldiers have just been recruited and are being trained. I think there should be surplus soldiers available. If we can borrow 500000 military from them, the matter of King min can be solved, but the problem comes out again. Will they agree? If these 500000 people are really borrowed, will they listen to Yingzong? Don't turn your gun and run to Nanjing. It's really a disaster.

Don't think Beiming can't do such a thing. Why did king Xiping not exert all his strength for a long time? Isn't it because of the ghosts they smashed? It was their intervention that changed the situation in Yunnan. The strength of the king of Min became stronger and stronger, so that he now occupied the land of three provinces.

It's too late for conscription and it's unreliable to ask for help. No wonder the five important ministers bow their heads and don't speak. They really have no better way.

The silence for a long time made Zhu Qizhen disappointed. "What's the matter? Aiqing, do you think we really have no hope in Nanming, and the rivers and mountains left by our ancestors really have to give up here? So, how can you make me face to see our ancestors?"

As he spoke, Zhu Qizhen had tears in his eyes, a very sad look.

"Officials are incompetent." four important officials, such as Wang Zuo, were so frightened that they got up and knelt down to the ground.

People say that if you are incompetent, you have no way. Even the king of a country was forced to leave tears. How can a minister not be frightened.

Zhu Qizhen moved the truth, but several important officials still had no way, which made him more sad. Seeing the important officials kneeling down with one another, his heart seemed to be dripping blood. When he called several important officials, he was looking for a chance to fight back. Did he really have no way?

Wang Zuo, the Minister of household, knelt on the ground, Chen Xun, the Minister of official, knelt on the ground, Xiao Xuan, the Minister of punishment, knelt on the ground, and Shang Yu, the imperial historian, knelt on the ground... Kuang ye, the Minister of war, did not kneel on the ground.

"Hmm?" he thought he was dazzled. When he looked again and found that Kuang Ye really didn't kneel down on the ground, Zhu Qizhen brightened his eyes, stood up impressively, and asked anxiously, "Kuang Aiqing, what's the best plan?"

"I dare not say a good plan, but there is a way. If it is feasible, it can buy us some time." Kuang ye said with some uncertain evidence.

"Fight for time?" Zhu Qizhen seemed puzzled.

"Yes, it's to buy time. Now we have a prosperous population in Nanming without a big war for a long time. As long as the emperor issues an edict and recruits a large number of troops, it won't take long to produce a million more heroes. It just takes some time. And now the only one who can buy us time may be one person."

"Who is it?" hearing that there are still available people and soldiers, Zhu Qizhen looked very nervous. He asked with hope in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Kuang ye would not tell the results if he asked late.

"Yang Chendong, Zhongdan Gong." without Zhu Qizhen waiting, Kuang Ye spit out a name in his firm voice.

As soon as the name came out, the other dignitaries who looked at Kuang ye also raised their heads in amazement. Then they seemed to think of something and slowly lowered their heads.

Yang Chendong, who once saved Yingzong on the battlefield, has become a taboo in everyone's mouth at a certain level.

I don't know why? Maybe it's because he is too capable, or maybe he is too capable of fighting, and such a person is not completely subject to the emperor's feet, so it's no wonder everyone will avoid talking about him.

So that a while ago, Yang Chendong shot to solve the Yellow bandit army of the chaos in Guangdong, but no one in the court was willing to speak for it. It seems that everyone has a tacit understanding and is indifferent to this person.

This is quite a bit of an idea. But now I have a big problem. Someone even mentioned Yang Chendong. At this time, I don't know whether I will accept it or promise it?

These are naturally the ideas of several important officials. Things are in the heart of Zhuqi Town, but he has more consideration.

He knows about Su Man'er. Although he didn't show up from beginning to end, he has tacitly accepted the practice of royal guards commander Menda, which can't be denied. In other words, he also had the idea of killing Yang Chendong.

There is no family in the eyes of the royal family.

This is a well-known thing, but the actual situation is not only that there is no family affection, but also that even kindness can no longer exist.

Since ancient times, how many ministers have saved the emperor's life, but how many people have a good end in the end? The so-called sharing joys and sorrows is the royal family.

Even if Yang Chendong saved Yingzong's life, even if he made great efforts and contributions for the sake of Nanming, you can fight well, but you can't be a loyal minister. From this point of view, killing you is not negotiable.

Under various circumstances, Zhu Qi town acquiesced to Menda's practice, and received a secret report from the royal guards a while ago. It seems that Su Man'er got it, and Yang Chendong has been staying in the military camp and didn't show up on the grounds of recuperation.

When hearing the news, Zhu Qizhen felt a trace of sympathy. But after a while, he forgot about it. Maybe in his eyes, it doesn't matter what life-saving benefactor is. What matters is his throne and whether he can inherit the country left by his ancestors.

It is precisely because Yang Chendong has been sentenced to death in his heart. This person has long been absent from his mind. He never thought of this person when the situation was critical. Now, hearing Kuang Ye's reminder, I have doubts in my heart. Do you think Yang Chendong hasn't died yet? If it's not dead? Now you can make good use of it.

"Kuang Aiqing, where is he now?" Zhu Qizhen asked with hope after his thinking returned to normal.

"If you return to the emperor, Zhong Dan is now outside Gaozhou mansion in Guangdong. It is said that he is ill and is recovering from injury. There, doctor Guan Ying of our military headquarters, Wei Guang of the royal guards and General Ma Wei, the commander of Guangdong guards are also there."

Kuang yeshen replied in a loud voice and made a simple retelling of the situation there. As for why those people are there, the emperor must be very clear in his heart.

"Oh, I remember." Zhu Qizhen nodded suddenly. He thought of the secret report of the royal guards a while ago. He said that Wei Guang was trying to persuade mercenaries to use it for himself. At that time, he also thought it was a good idea. He wanted to have a great wealth of things. There was nothing good, as long as he was sincere, It is not impossible to leave those mercenaries who can recruit and be good at war for their own use.

But I haven't received any secret reports for such a long time. I think things are not going well. If it is not smooth, it is possible for Yang Chendong to send troops to counter the rebellion. Otherwise, if you really accept other people's soldiers, you will be turned over.

Zhu Qizhen quickly made a decision, that is, inform the royal guards after going down, and let them stop doing everything against mercenaries, at least on the surface to ease the relationship between them.

But after all, it's just a way to make up for the lost. The important thing is to talk with Yang Chendong. Thinking like this, he said to Kuang ye, "I heard that Zhongdan was ill. I don't know if it doesn't matter."

"Well... I don't know. I once sent the eagle doctor to visit, but I haven't seen anyone, that is, I can't even enter the military camp. I think... I think the official rank is not enough." Kuang Ye hesitated.

"Well, if you look like this, you should send an important minister." Zhu Qizhen nodded and said these, and then his eyes fell on Kuang Ye, "Kuang Aiqing, I'm afraid you'll have to take a trip to this matter. If you can see Zhong Dan Gong, please ask him to take action anyway, not to defeat the rebels. At least stabilize the current situation and strive for development time for Nanming."

"Chen... Chen is old." Kuang Ye didn't promise immediately this time, but said with an ambiguous attitude.

Kuang Ye's comment is nothing more than a complaint. He complains that Yingzong banned him from home a while ago. Now he needs to use him, and he doesn't think that he is nearly 70 years old.
