Mingshi

Chapter 1340
General Wang's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything, and returned with eighteen letters.

"The second thing is to resume training from today, and soon we will go into the mountains to wipe out the rebels."

All the generals showed hesitation on their faces, they had lost their troops in the mountains and forests, and they were already afraid of the mountains and forests.It's just that they were all defeated generals, and Luo Xin was hailed as the God of the Ming Army, so even though he was afraid in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out.

"Don't let me see where the military discipline is lax, or you will be severely punished." Luo Xin sternly shouted.

"Yes!"

"Go back."

All the generals retreated one after another and left the big tent, discussing in low voices as they walked.

"Lord Luo doesn't have any new tricks, it's still the same as the commander-in-chief."

"Yeah, if things go on like this, the 9 of us who came back from the mountains and forests, don't know how many of us will be left."

"If we are at the foot of the mountain, no matter how many rebels and mountain people there are, we will not be our opponents, but once we enter the forest, we..."

"Hey, what can we do? I'm afraid the commander will be punished by His Majesty. Do we dare not listen to Lord Luo? I advise you to go back and train strictly. Don't let Lord Luo get caught, you know Master Luo is thinking about Liwei."

"It's useless to use our prestige, but if you have the ability to make prestige against those mountain people and rebels!"

"Be careful!"

"..."

In the next few days, Luo Xin often walked around the camp to check the training of all parties.These soldiers also know what the atmosphere is like now. No matter what they think in their hearts, they are all training strictly on the surface.

No matter what they think, as long as they show a serious attitude, Luo Xin is not demanding.Luo Xin just couldn't let his morale go down, otherwise he wouldn't have to fight this battle.

Luo Xin was not in a hurry, he knew that it would take about 20 days for the eighteen soldiers to send the letter to Shibazhai and then return, the mountain road was difficult to travel.If Shibazhai thinks about it for a few more days, it will take longer.

Beijing.

Emperor Jiajing was silently reading the letter from Luo Xin in his hand, and opposite him stood Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly while reading the letter.

In the letter, Luo Xin detailed the reasons why Hu Zongxian's army was defeated. The main reason for the final failure of this war was the mountain people.Then Luo Xin told Emperor Jiajing about the root cause of the mountain people's capriciousness for nearly 200 years.

Finally, he told Emperor Jiajing that he would sincerely recruit the mountain people to surrender first, but if the mountain people did not surrender and continued to help Zhang Daoyuan and the Bailian Sect, he would regard the mountain people as rebels and wipe them out.

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a moment, then handed the letter to Xu Jie, Gao Gong also came over, and the two of them read Luo Xin's letter together.After reading it, Xu Jie immediately called out:
"Your Majesty can't. Those mountain people are also His Majesty's people. They didn't rebel. How can Luo Xin, the butcher, kill all the mountain people?"

"Is it my people? They didn't rebel?" Emperor Jiajing said with an ugly face: "They helped Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect kill 12 soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. You tell me that they are my people? Haven't rebelled yet?"

"This……"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong also spoke at this time: "In any case, massacring the mountain people is a violent act. Your Majesty cannot agree. We should educate those ignorant mountain people."

"Enlightenment?" Emperor Jiajing said coldly, "Have you not educated enough? You slaughtered 12 soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. Is this the result of your enlightenment?"

"This……"

"Needless to say, let Luo Xin act cheaply."

"Do it cheaply? Hehe..." Luo Xin looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Hu Zongxian was sitting next to him. At this time, Hu Zongxian's body had recovered more than half, and his complexion was much better.Looking at Luo Xin, with a worried look on his face, he said:

"No, it's not a good thing. If you lose this war, needless to say, the result is similar to my brother. If you win this war, but by massacring the mountain people, the cabinet may not I will let you go, maybe you will be charged with killing the good and posing for meritorious service, and His Majesty will have to admit your crime, otherwise His Majesty will be a tyrant.

Obviously, His Majesty will not admit to this crime. "

"Ha ha……"

"Are you still in the mood to laugh?"

"Brother, what would you do if something like this happened to you?"

Hu Zongxian frowned and thought about it seriously: "First of all, any result will not change my plan. If the mountain people refuse to surrender, I will really slaughter those mountain people."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian's face was full of hostility, and when he thought of his soldiers dying at the hands of the rebels and mountain people, a surge of hostility boiled in his heart.

"And then?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

"I will send someone to contact Gao Gong immediately. After all, you have an alliance with Gao Gong. Let Gao Gong speak for you in front of His Majesty and help you in the cabinet. His Majesty should not punish you too severely. At most, you will be demoted. As long as you keep your official position, with your ability, it is not a luxury to make a comeback."

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "First point, I agree. No matter who it is, if they make a mistake, they will be punished. Those mountain people and rebels killed my 12 soldiers. If this is the case, why not Treat those 12 heroic spirits?
Could it be that the life of the mountain people is life, but our 12 brothers are not life?

enlightenment?

He Xu Jie and Gao Gong went to the mountain people to enlighten me?
Let the mountain people go, they will not feel guilty about the heroic spirits of the 12 soldiers? "

Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin who was sitting opposite, with excitement in his eyes.Luo Xin's words reached his heart, the bullshit enlightenment did not make the mountain people feel awe, they simply ignored your enlightenment, they would laugh at your enlightenment, and finally killed those educated people.

"So well said!"

"Therefore, it is impossible for you to go to Gao Gong. I admit that Gao Gong is an upright person, but he is also a stubborn and pedantic person. It can be said that once the mountain people do not accept my surrender this time, I will definitely kill them." The mountain people here. In this way, Gao Gong and I have turned against each other.

This is not a personal enmity like Xu Jie and I, but a difference in philosophy between Gao Gong and me.He will regard me as a butcher, and no matter how hard I try, it is impossible for the two of us to be united again. "

"Then... aren't you very dangerous?" Hu Zongxian's face was full of guilt. If he hadn't been defeated, how could Luo Xin be put in such a situation?

"He will not unite with Xu Jie either, the situation in the court will only become more complicated in the future."

"I won't talk about it in the future, you should talk about it now. Once you slaughter the mountain people, how will you deal with the court?"

"You can't ask Gao Gong for this matter, let alone Xu Jie, only His Majesty."
