Chapter 1835 The sword points to Dongying ([-]) Yang Ni is immortal and will never withdraw troops
The Bozhou pacification got off to a bad start, not only Jiangdong was unable to exempt himself from responsibility, but even the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and even Song Liangzuo, who had just been appointed governor of Sichuan, felt the pressure.

What the cabinet and the Ministry of War are worried about is "responsibility for leadership." This is easy to understand. Why is Song Liangzuo also worried?In fact, he is also responsible for leadership—although everyone is the governor on the surface, but in the local decision-making layer that put down the Bozhou Rebellion, he, Song Fujun, is actually responsible for the main responsibility, but his responsibility belongs to the "according to the law" Example": As long as there is something wrong in the southwest of Ming Dynasty, the governor of Sichuan is usually the number one responsible person, because Sichuan is relatively the strongest.

In the Southwest War, Liu Ting was finally selected as the general to counter the rebellion, so at the court level, Gao Yushi was also the main "leader". .

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to calm down easily, so he scolded at that time: "I have repeatedly warned the officials in the Southwest that safety should be the first priority in this suppression of rebellion, and you must not underestimate the enemy's rash advances! The previous two times underestimated the enemy's carelessness, and the lessons learned are in front of you. If you don't see it! The officials of the frontier are so stupid in front of the battle, how can they defeat the rebels!
What's more, the entire army of the attacking and suppressing army was annihilated, which also shows that the garrisons in various parts of Guizhou are extremely weak. If the rebels had no intention of expanding in the face of Liu Ting's army, I am afraid that Guizhou is now under the control of the rebels!The face of the imperial court, and the face of Zhen, have been thrown away by Jiang Dongzhi!The crime deserves to be punished!The crime deserves to be punished! "

The word Changxin of Jiangdong, nicknamed Niansuo, is a native of Shexian County, Anhui Province. He is not a member of the Real School. In the early years, he even had some conflicts with the Real School due to the impeachment case. He was demoted and released, and then gradually climbed back. .

However, Gao Yushi's impression of him was not bad. When he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Shangshu impeached officials who were dishonest in a few cases, but he did not specifically impeach officials of the Real School, and even rehabilitated some unjust cases.

Later, he served as the governor of Guizhou. He was considered sympathetic to the people's feelings during his tenure, and implemented a number of policies to benefit the people.For example, in a poor place like Guizhou, he actually levied a commercial tax. Although the income was not much, he still took part of it to hire workers to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and established a number of public welfare farms, such as "Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau Farm", which was rented at the rate of land. Buy medicines to treat poor patients; there is also "You Wentian", which uses its income to help poor students.

Because of this, he has been rated excellent in the Ministry of Officials examinations all year round, and Gao Yushi has always liked officials who can do things in a down-to-earth manner, so he does not embarrass him because of his original background of the School of Mind.Over time, Jiang Dongzhi's faction has become less and less colorful, and sometimes it is even seen as "hopping" from the Heart School to the Real School.

Of course, with the comprehensive strengthening of the Practical School over the years, officials like Jiang Dongzhi are by no means special cases, but more and more.

However, since Li Rusong has just entered North Korea at this time, even if there is no good news from Bozhou, at least there should be no bad news. Some of them were killed because "their crime deserves to be punished".

So he said: "The emperor calms down. Although Jiang Dongzhi has committed the crime of underestimating the enemy and advancing aggressively, he is an upright official and diligent in his work. Since Fugui, his internal affairs have been good. In addition, after this defeat, he also sincerely repented and did not shirk his responsibility. This action shows that he is still a person who is brave enough to do things and be responsible. Please ask the emperor to spare him the death penalty, and just dismiss him as a citizen first.

In addition, I thought that after this battle, Yang Yinglong was completely determined to rebel, not that the court had wronged him, and that Bozhou's soldiers should not be underestimated, and the decision to mobilize Liu Ting and other 20 troops was correct.In the early days, some people in the court excused Yang Yinglong from responsibility, but now it seems that they can all stop.

It's just that the imperial court has just defeated Chahar, and sent troops to North Korea to survive. Although the food and payment are not insufficient, the transport capacity is difficult to reach - North Korea is far south of Liaodong, and Bozhou is even more in the mountains.

Even if the Ministry of Households has grain to distribute, it is difficult to allocate and transport it. Even if the minister had previously planned to buy grain on the spot, it would always take time to raise funds. It is necessary to change the costume as much as possible, lest the six-way army is really only Liu Ting can fight all the way.

What's more, every time the troops were added to the Bozhou area, the two provinces of Guizhou and Shu could not effectively form mutual assistance. I asked Song Liangzuo, the governor of Sichuan, to temporarily control the military affairs of Sichuan, Hu, and Guizhou provinces. "

Zhu Yijun agreed and immediately issued a verbal order: "As you said, the governor of Guizhou in Jiangdong will be dismissed first, so... who do you think is suitable to take over?"

Gao Wushi said: "I think Guo Zizhang, the Zuo Buzheng of Fujian Province, can take over."

Guo Zizhang, courtesy name Xiangkui, nicknamed Qingluo, self-named Yunyisheng, was born in Taihe County, Jiangxi Province. He originally belonged to the line of Xinxue. However, when he passed the Jinshi examination in the fifth year of Longqing, his teacher was Zhang Siwei, and he joined the Real School.

This gentleman has successively served as the Tuiguan of Jianning Prefecture in Fujian, the head of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, the prefect of Chaozhou in Guangdong, the tixueqian affairs in Sichuan, the participation in politics in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, the inspector in Shanxi, the right minister in Huguang, and the left minister in Fujian. Good or bad, barely above average.

The reason why Gao Yushi fell in love with him was mainly because this person had a lot of support for Jinghua's immigration to Taiwan Island during his tenure in Fujian.At the same time, as Fujian's Zuobu political envoy, he has learned the high-practical approach of feeding back and promoting the agricultural economy through business. In addition to vigorously developing Fujian's traditional advantages such as seaport trade, fishery, and salt industry, he has also worked hard in various parts of the province. Actively promote tea planting and take the path of economical agriculture, the effect is remarkable.

In addition, he was also very concerned about the potatoes and corn that Gao Wugong promoted in various provinces across the country. He personally planted some in the back garden of the chief minister's yamen to observe the output. After confirming its advantages, he immediately promoted it throughout the province.

In particular, potatoes, which can also be grown on a large scale in the mountainous areas of Fujian, have become the main crops he promoted during his tenure, so that in the third year of his tenure as Fujian Zuobuzheng, the grain of Fujian's other provinces (even "foreign countries") The dependence has been greatly reduced, and Gao Wu, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was named and praised during the last Beijing inspection.

Using him as the governor of Guizhou, the main appeal of high pragmatism is not to count on how strong his military command ability is. After all, Guizhou's main position in the Battle of Bozhou is to guard the southern exit of Bozhou, and the offensive still depends on Liu Ting's way.

Therefore, Gao Wuyu means that he hopes that he will vigorously promote potatoes in Guizhou. After all, Guizhou and Fujian have a lot in common, that is, there are many mountains and few fields. Fujian's agricultural experience can also be used in Guizhou.

Of course, even though the two places are mountainous, Guizhou's external transportation conditions are far worse than those of Fujian, which has countless good ports. Therefore, the matter of planting tea may have to be postponed for a while, and the first thing to do is to plant potatoes to solve the stomach problem.

Zhu Yijun didn’t have a deep impression of Guo Zizhang. He only remembered that Gao Yushi seemed to praise him for “simultaneously promoting agriculture and commerce, serving in the barren land of Fujian for three years, and paying 70 yuan a year to Taicang”—that’s enough. Minister.

So Zhu Yijun immediately approved, and asked Guo Zizhang to take office immediately after receiving the imperial edict.As for the person in charge of Bozhou's anti-rebellion military affairs, this one should not bother the two masters, and then the next imperial decree should be clearly handed over to Song Liangzuo, which can be regarded as formalizing the "hidden rules". The official didn't give it, so Song Liangzuo was asked to add an imperial envoy.

As for the issue of food and pay, Zhu Yijun also reiterated that the food should be bought locally as Gao Yushi had proposed before, and the Ming Fed would buy food in Sichuan and Huguang with banknotes to provide the troops.At the same time, he also reiterated that the Fed banknotes can be used to pay taxes, so as to ensure the value of this "equivalent exchange".Gao Pragmatic immediately took the lead.

In May, when Guo Zizhang took office, he began to promote potato planting while reorganizing Guizhou's military affairs. He also received a batch of military equipment temporarily ordered by the Ministry of War, produced by Annan Hejing, and urgently sent to Guizhou through Guangxi, including the Wanli Type II [-] muskets, [-] Jinghua No. [-] guns and other standard equipment of the elite Ming army on the nine sides.

Under this premise, the situation in Guizhou gradually stabilized, and some local chieftains who were a bit winded and overwhelmed at first also calmed down.

And Song Liangzuo was not idle. Due to the weakness shown by the Guizhou side before, after seeking the approval of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, he not only recruited some soldiers from Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi to strengthen the two roads on the southern line of Guizhou, but also mobilized some chieftains from the surrounding areas. Soldiers and horses were fortified, and even Liu Ting's troops were strengthened by more than [-] soldiers and horses from the chieftain of Yunnan.

Looking at the overall situation, nearly 24 troops participated in the encirclement and suppression of Bozhou. Although most of them did not take the initiative to attack, as the "noose" in Daming's hands, Yang Yinglong was getting more and more out of breath.

In June, Yang Yinglong discussed with his subordinates the expropriation of the land of five divisions and seven surnames. He summoned the most important core figures of the Bozhou Army, including his sons Yang Chaodong and Yang Weidong, his younger brother Yang Zhaolong, military adviser Sun Shitai, secretary Ma Zhong, Bozhou Chief He Tingyu, He Hanliang, the chief of the foreign department, Tian Yipeng, the chief of the internal department, and Yang Zhu, the brother of Tian Feipeng and the general of Bozhou.

Although Yang Yinglong felt the pressure brought by the blockade at this time, it was mainly economic pressure rather than military pressure.Since the Ming army had undergone some adjustments after its previous defeat, he did not feel that he was in much danger, and Gu Pan was still very confident.

At this moment, he raised his chin slightly, and said: "At present, the land of Bozhou has been completely owned by me. The land and goods of the six surnames Zhang, Yuan, Lu, Tan, Luo, and Wu have been confiscated. From now on, Bozhou will no longer submit to Ming Dynasty. The imperial court, as long as I find a good day and auspicious day, I will establish myself as the king, and you and other ministers who have made meritorious service will also be greatly rewarded."

Yang Chaodong was overjoyed, and said: "Father made it clear that my Yang family has stood in Bozhou for 700 years, and I should have been king long ago. In the past, the imperial court treated us well, so it condescended to be under the rule of the Zhu family. Now it seems that after Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, our Bozhou is really too big. So submissive that the imperial court less and less regard Banzhou in its eyes.

There are also those chieftains who don't argue with each other. They even conspired with the Han people to assassinate us in Bozhou. Even if they were all killed, it would not be enough to vent their anger!Now my father just confiscated their land, which shows that my Yang family is magnanimous and let them know who is the master of Bozhou! "

His uncle, Yang Zhaolong, did not approve of the rebellion at first, but now he was even more worried after hearing what his nephew said, and he taught him a lesson: "Chaodong, don't be too arrogant. In the past, you used to be the elder brother and the eldest son to show off your power and be domineering. It's not good to be an uncle." Yue Zu will discipline you on his behalf, but now it is not the same as before, you have only made some contributions, how can you be arrogant?

Chaodong, the reason why my Yang family has been able to gain a foothold in Banzhou for 700 years is not only our own strength, but more importantly, it is always in control of people's hearts.Now that my brother wants to make a big deal, it is time to gather people's hearts.As the eldest son, you must be more prudent, otherwise how can you inherit Yang's foundation in the future?If you want to become a prince, you must win the hearts of the people and have both civil and military skills..."

"Hey, why is the second master still preaching?" He Tingyu, the governor of Bozhou, who has always stood by Yang Chaodong's side, immediately rescued him and said, "Brother Zhaolong is jealous of Chaodong's achievements, right? Is the merit still considered small? If you don’t show off your strength, those clowns will only cause trouble frequently. I think that now we need Chaodong’s domineering to deter Xiaoxiao and make him use me.

Now that Bozhou is unified, without the royal court sharing profits with other families, it can be said that there is a lot of money. As the governor of Bozhou, I have to count the money several times a day... But according to me, after becoming king, Bozhou seems to be still too small.How can Banzhou alone show the image of a king, and how can it be able to spend what a country needs?It is better to rely on the military strength of Bozhou, go south to annex Guizhou or go north to capture Chongqing, then we will be inexhaustible and inexhaustible for everything we need. "

He Hanliang, the head of the foreign affairs department, sneered and said, "You still don't believe that you are greedy. Why don't you propose to capture the entire Ming Dynasty? Whether it is annexing Guizhou or occupying Chongqing, how easy is it?
Let me put it this way, as long as we march towards Guiyang or Chongqing, the imperial court will definitely try its best to fight the Banzhou. At that time, it will not be more than 50 officers and troops, or [-], and then the war Constantly, I see how you still keep those silvers, you have to spend them all. "

Tian Yipeng, the head of the internal department, said: "He Hanliang, apart from being able to lead troops to fight sometimes, you only care about eating and drinking too much, getting drunk all night, and don't think about business at all. How can you judge others? With this strength, you are not as good as Kill the enemy more and make meritorious deeds, or take care of foreign affairs.

Since the patriarch wants to establish himself as the king, and we will also be the founding heroes, why don't we choose more concubines and add more wives and concubines?Among these six surnames, there are quite a few beauties, who were born with enchanting water spirits and charming eyes. I have tried many of them in the past few days, and I really have endless aftertaste... I will also carefully select a batch for you in the future, and take them home. Go, you must love me more, and have more sons. In the future, they will all be my warriors in Bozhou. "

Tian Feipeng leaned on his body, and lazily said: "I don't have the energy to be busy all day long like my brother, but our family and the Yang family are in-laws for a hundred years, but the owner of the family has orders, I will wait for my brother to do my best."

It turned out that the Tian family brothers said so "not seeing outsiders", that means they really don't need to see outsiders. The relationship between his family and the Yang family is a bit like the Xiao family and Yelu family in Liao Kingdom, almost like "hou family" and "royal family".

Yang Weidong was worried after hearing the above, and said: "I am only worried that we wiped out the Ming army and slaughtered Guizhou before. I am afraid that the imperial court will be furious because of this. Everyone knows that many of the more than [-] troops around Bozhou were originally Chieftain, the imperial court may not believe it all, they may send troops just for show, but if the imperial court issues a strict order, forcing them to attack with all their strength, how should we deal with it?"

General Yang Zhu snorted softly, and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If the Ming army comes, it will suit me. If I don't kill people for a day, I will feel itchy. The Ming army will just relieve my boredom. I have been in the state army for hundreds of years. It's not just one against ten, it's never a defeat!
Now that Bozhou is all in my hands, our army has already occupied all the important points. Don't tell me that the army is only more than [-]. Even if Emperor Zhu attacks with a million soldiers, he can only die here!
Thinking about the majesty and prestige of the Mongol Tartars who swept across the world for tens of thousands of miles, they had to give up attacking Bozhou in the end... As long as they defeat the army of the Ming court this time, the patriarch will proclaim himself king, who in the world can stop him? "

Sun Shitai, the military adviser, saw that this group of people had been talking about it for a long time, and he really couldn't stand it any longer. He took the initiative to analyze: "The owner of the family has now unified the Sowing Prefecture, and has seized the land to raise seedlings. All the seedlings are happy. I am willing to work hard so that the strength of the Bozhou Prefecture can be expanded. To 16 people. The Ming Dynasty seems to have a vast land and resources, but the two parties have been fighting each other for more than [-] years, and they always hold each other back when encountering major events, and it is difficult to form a joint force.

The military power of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated on the nine sides, and the troops in the south had long been corrupted. Judging from the two previous wars and the raid on Guizhou this time, it can be seen that the garrison of the guards is vulnerable.Soldiers in Central Sichuan and Huguang have not practiced warfare for more than a hundred years, and they are no different from civilians. The other southern provinces are also no different. It can be seen that although the Ming Dynasty has a million troops, most of them are mobs, and only the elite are on the nine sides.

However, although the soldiers on the nine borders are excellent, we don't need to care about them, why?Everyone, let's see that this time the Ming Dynasty sent troops to aid North Korea. This is the number one fenced country in the world and it is in danger of collapse, but the imperial court can only dispatch [-] troops.It can be seen that after taking Chahar, the elite soldiers on the nine sides have been used to the extreme just for garrisoning, and there is no longer any excess troops to be used elsewhere.

From this point of view, as long as we hoard food and pay, make good use of the geographical advantage, strictly govern the army, and choose the opportunity to annihilate the elite of the Ming army, the rest of the mob will be nothing to worry about. At that time, we will be kings or annex other provinces.

However, no matter what, you should not have the illusion of overthrowing Ming Dynasty. Da Ming has a vast territory. Although it may not be called a prosperous age today, its foundation is still solid, and after the destruction of Mongolia, the 200-year foreign invasion of Ming Dynasty can be considered to be largely resolved.

Under such circumstances, if they were pushed into a hurry, the soldiers from the Nine Frontiers might not be able to transfer southward.Therefore, if one becomes arrogant because of our army's victory this time, one may suffer catastrophe. "Although the people were not necessarily happy when they heard it, they also knew that what this person said was true, so they kept silent, so that they were a little cold.

At this time, the secretary Ma Zhong remembered that there was another matter to report, and interjected: "I just got the report, Fang Jiachong, Qijiang's general, provoked Fang Jiachong and entered the territory of Bozhou, killing 30 people in Bozhou indiscriminately. We annihilated the Ming army and beheaded Yang Guozhu for revenge, please send troops to take revenge."

After hearing this, Yang Yinglong was furious: "Now the imperial court is not tolerated, and Bozhou has nothing to rely on. Only by fighting desperately and annihilating all invading enemies can we keep our family business. Hmph, the capital of Guizhou has died in my hands, and a little general will also die." Dare to act recklessly? Presumably this must be because the army of the Ming court is not ready yet, and they only dare to kill me to vent their anger.

Alright, then let them experience my military power in Bozhou, and give me the banner of revenge for the dead. While the imperial army is still dispatching supplies, send troops to Qijiang, and let all the soldiers and civilians in Qijiang come to be buried with them! "

So Yang Yinglong led the Bozhou army of [-] troops, and the troops were divided into three groups, namely Ganshui, Maoergang, and Louguo. One attacked Nanchuan and the other Jiangjin.

General Fang Jiachong of Qijiang learned of Yang Yinglong's advance, first ordered the city defenses to be strengthened, and the whole army prepared for war, and then sent someone to seek help from Sichuan governor Song Liangzuo, and ordered guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian to lead a team to investigate the enemy's situation.

Zhang Liangxian asked for orders: "The last general will go with a thousand troops. If you encounter rebels, use your camera to attack. If you can win the flag, you can also deter the enemy and delay the offensive, which will help defend Qijiang." Fang Jiachong urged caution, Zhang Liangxian took the order.

On June [-]th, guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian encountered Miao soldiers scattered in Bozhou in Dongxi. After several attacks, the remnants of the Miao soldiers retreated and killed one general. Zhang Liangxian returned to Qijiang and presented his head. The Qijiang army was greatly encouraged .

Song Liangzuo received Fang Jiachong's request for help. He wanted to order Sichuan soldiers from all over the country to rescue Qijiang, but after thinking about it, he felt that the rebel army might have stormed Qijiang at this time. The rebel army's strength was several times that of Qijiang. it's too late.It is better to let one department continue to advance towards Qijiang, and the other departments should divide the main roads, firstly to meet the defeated soldiers and fleeing people, and secondly to prevent the rebels from deepening.

Then he thought, if Yang Yinglong knows that we are well-prepared, considering the threat of Liu Ting's army, Yang Yinglong will withdraw from Qijiang soon, so...he can only hope that Qijiang will have God's help and support the arrival of reinforcements.When he was mature in thinking, he ordered it.

On June 21, Yang Yinglong led the Bozhou Miao soldiers to besiege Qijiang. He personally shouted under the city: "Fang Jiachong! You little general, a bastard, you dare to kill me if you don't know what you can do. Today I will teach you Repay a thousand times!"

Not to be outdone, Fang Jiachong stood on the top of the city tower and cursed: "Yang Yinglong, you shameless rebel, plotting rebellion, betraying the emperor's favor, slaughtering 30 soldiers and civilians in Guizhou but being complacent, it is the anger of heaven and man! I only kill you [-] people are far from enough. I should have personally entered Bozhou to behead you. Since you have come to Qijiang today, you can commit suicide before the army and apologize. I will spare your wife and children! Otherwise, your Yang family in Bozhou will be wiped out, and you will die without a burial. land!" Yang Yinglong laughed wildly, and then ordered a fierce attack on Qijiang.

Fang Jiachong divided the Sichuan soldiers under his leadership into three groups. One group arranged city walls to prevent the Miao soldiers from entering the city, one group used bows and firecrackers to shoot the approaching enemies, and the other group placed artillery to fire outside the city.

Zhang Liangxian personally went to the gate of the city to command the battle, while Fang Jiachong stayed behind and commanded the firearms to attack the enemy.Relying on the cover of the Qijiang city wall and firearms, the Ming army blocked the attack of the Bozhou army for a while.Yang Yinglong had no choice but to think hard about how to break the city. After discussing it with Sun Shitai, he ordered people to search around the city, looking for weak points as a breakthrough.

But accidents on the battlefield are often bizarre. As an army in the southern region that has been short of training for a long time, the firearms battalion under Fang Jiachong is not good at operating artillery, and accidentally injured the soldiers defending the city.This is good, the infantry and artillery armies each hold their own words, from quarreling to fighting each other, and the city defense is in chaos for a while.

Yang Yinglong heard several loud bangs from the Qijiang River, the city tower was blown apart, and the fire was still spreading around, what a godsend opportunity!He quickly ordered the Bozhou Army to take advantage of the situation to go to the city. Sure enough, the Ming army's defense line collapsed, and the Bozhou Army successfully entered Qijiang. Fang Jiachong and Zhang Liangxian had to lead the army into street fighting.

At this time, the Bozhou army roared in, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Qijiang Chuan soldiers had not fought for a long time. Fleeing by water, Fang Jiachong couldn't stop drinking.

Yang Yinglong was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to slaughter the city, plunder the children of Qijiang's wealth, and set fire to the city.The people in Qijiang fled individually, most of them could not escape the sword of Miao soldiers. Yang Yinglong personally led the team and went straight to the Qijiang treasury.

Seeing that the situation was over, Fang Jiachong fled back home and said to his wife: "Qijiang City has been destroyed, and it is no longer able to withstand the rebel offensive. It will be even more difficult for you and me to escape. I have made up my mind to die here in order to save my wife and children from being humiliated. I have no choice but to kill you first, please don't blame me."

Fang's wife made it clear that she didn't look frightened, she just said: "You don't need to talk too much, you and I are husband and wife, I will take a step ahead, and I hope to reunite with my husband in Huangquan."

So Fang Jiachong killed his wife in tears, and then joined the guerrilla general Zhang Liangxian. Zhang Liangxian asked how to explain the destruction of Qijiang City?
Fang Jiachong said: "This is the end of the matter, the two of us must not be able to explain to the Fujun and the admiral, Qijiang is the place where you and I will be buried... Although you and I can't stop the rebels, we can't bow down and die under the rebellion. I have no choice but to commit suicide and apologize." Zhang Liangxian took the order, and the two of them killed themselves immediately.

After the two of them died, Yang Yinglong let the Qijiang prisoners burn and plunder everywhere, opened the warehouse door to reward, took all Qijiang's wealth and children and escorted them back to Bozhou. crowd.Qijiang mourned all over the country, utterly miserable, thick smoke billowed, Miao soldiers threw their corpses into the river, and the corpses covered the river, so the river was dyed red.

However, as expected by Song Liangzuo, Yang Yinglong retreated to Sanxi soon after, and erected boundary markers of Bozhou at Sanxi and Mudu in Qijiang, and Dongxiang in Nanchuan. The Miao people tribe in Jiugu Mountain built up military equipment and let them occupy the dangerous terrain as an aid.

As the news spread, Song Liangzuo went to plead guilty, and at the same time contacted Guo Zizhang to ask if Ming's combat power on the southern front had recovered.

There was also a lot of discussion in the imperial court, and many people proposed to change the suppression to appeasement, so as to avoid internal and external wars, which would be disadvantageous to me.

Gao Wuli rejected all opinions, saying that the reason why the battle in Bozhou was passive was because of the sudden incident, and the court's energy was concentrated on Mongolia before, and now it was involved in North Korea, but now Yang Yinglong's rebellion is obvious. The prestige of Miemeng will be lost.

For the current plan, the only way is to continue to mobilize the supplies needed by the army to fight in the mountains regardless of the current losses, and there is no other way out.

Zhu Yijun made the final decision: Yang Ni will not die, and he will never withdraw his troops!
