Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 124 Li Dingguo

King Lu was escorted back to Nanjing by Fang Xiaobai himself, and Zhu Yousong took all the officials to greet him in the outer city. Zhu Yousong was very annoyed by King Lu's rebellion. Is it because of the establishment of the reserve last year that he has a grudge against him?

Looking at Zhu Changzi sitting in the prison car at the foot of the city, Zhu Yousong felt a little sad: "娖儿, do you think there will be a day when I will sit in the prison car like King Lu?"

Princess Changping hesitated to speak, she couldn't guarantee [-]% that Fang Xiaobai didn't have this idea, she could only rely on her own judgment: "Uncle Emperor, if that day happens, Changping is willing to go through the ordeal with you."

Along the way, Fang Xiaobai did not treat Lu Wang Zhu Changxiao badly, and offered food and drink, even though the other party did not eat much, and he was not charged with abusing the descendants of the royal family.

Fang Xiaobai did not participate in the prisoner offering ceremony. In his words, I was too busy to attend the flashy ceremony, so Zhu Yousong had no choice but to follow Fang Xiaobai himself.

Fang Xiaobai did have more important matters, so he dragged Wu Jun to the prime minister's mansion non-stop. In his prime minister's courtyard, warlords from all over the south of the Yangtze River had been waiting there for a long time. The fateful meeting is about to be held in a small courtyard.

Along the way, he bumped into many officials from various departments. Fang Xiaobai greeted them one by one, even though he didn't know most of them.

Wu Jun watched all this in astonishment. He didn't expect that when he was still struggling to survive, his friend was already in a high position and made proud achievements.

The two of them walked silently on the path paved with small stones, turned around and turned, and came to a small courtyard. From a distance, they could see Minister of the Interior Zhu Dadian walking back and forth at the gate of the small courtyard, looking a little anxious.

"Lord Zhu? What are you doing outside? Is everyone inside here?"

Hearing someone calling him, Zhu Dadian turned his head and saw the dusty Fang Xiaobai, he hurried forward and said, "My lord prime minister! You are here, if you slow down a few steps, I will be eaten alive by them!" !Uh... this is?"

I was anxious before, but I didn't realize that there was someone behind Fang Xiaobai.This is not to blame for Zhu Dadian. After all, student Wu Jun is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He likes to wear black casual clothes and keeps his head down. His sense of presence keeps pulling, and even Fang Xiaobai almost forgets his existence.

"Oh, let me introduce. This is Mr. Wu Jun, my classmate. I ran into him in Hangzhou Mansion a few days ago, so I brought him to Nanjing to help me. Jun, this is Mr. Zhu Dadian, Minister of the Interior."

"Hello."

Wu Jun shook hands with Zhu Dadian, and said hello to each other, which means they knew each other.

"From now on, everyone will be colleagues. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Mr. Zhu. He is an enthusiastic old man."

"This official is in his prime!"

"Come on. Everyone over 45 is an old man."

The two bickered for a while, then walked into the prime minister's courtyard.In an instant, everyone's eyes in the yard focused on Fang Xiaobai, there were fear, flattery, and of course indifference.

"Hi everyone, don't stand still, the room is cold, come into the room with me."

Fang Xiaobai made a gesture of invitation, and after a few people in the courtyard gave way, they walked into the office with the fireplace on.

As the host and the initiator of the meeting, Fang Xiaobai had been away for a while, but he had been preparing for this meeting. As soon as everyone sat down, Zhu Dadian distributed the prepared materials to everyone.

"Let's look at the information first, and let me introduce myself by the way, um...start with you."

It seems that the buddy sitting directly opposite is younger and pleasing to the eye, and the others have a lot of beards, and they don't look like people of the same era.

Being named by Fang Xiaobai, the young man felt a little helpless, looking around, he saw that everyone was gloating.Standing up, the opponent Xiaobai cupped his fists and said, "I'm going to Li Dingguo, General Li Dingguo."

Cough cough cough!Fang Xiaobai put down his teacup, leaned his right hand against the table, leaned to the left, and coughed violently.

Nima!How could the future Duke of Jin, Li Dingguo, be so young? He looks at most two or three years older than me.

"Ahem, so it's General Li! I've known you for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. By the way, is Sun Kewang here? Let me see you."

Seeing that Fang Xiaobai did not despise him because of his identity, Li Dingguo couldn't help but admire him: "Master Marquis, General Sun was fighting with the Tatars in southern Sichuan and did not come."

It seems that the Great Western Army still has a hand in it. Am I that insidious?Fang Xiaobai touched his nose.

The middle-aged man sitting next to Li Dingguo said with a disdainful smile: "It's just a traitor, how can you talk about generals? You are the Lord of Ming Dynasty, not the Lord of Daxi."

With a swipe, Li Dingguo's face turned red, his resentment was beyond words, and he looked at the middle-aged official beside him with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Fang Xiaobai suppressed his unhappiness, and looked at the middle-aged official who spoke rudely.

He stood up slowly, bowed to Fang Xiaobai arrogantly and said: "My official Guangdong Supervisor Su Guansheng, I have seen Poluhou."

Su Guansheng?That idiot who had already entered Guangzhou and was still studying with Zhu Yukai, I remember his death was a bit ridiculous, as if he was tricked into hanging himself together, the two were in two rooms, and he honestly hanged himself, And the buddy who lied to him took his body and surrendered to Li Chengdong.

"Master Su, let me ask you, are the Tartars enemies?"

"That's natural!"

"Then let me ask you again, are General Li and the Tatars fighting in the west the enemies of the Tatars?"

"Of course it is, but Lord Hou, they are rebels and have no credibility at all."

"Rebels? Hehe, did you ever hold an official position in the country?"

Hearing Fang Xiaobai's words, Su Guansheng's heart became colder and colder, but he still bit the bullet and replied: "It never happened."

"Since this is the case, how can there be any talk of rebellion? You don't have to quibble, the people of Ming Dynasty, if there is hope of surviving, they will not rebel. The current situation is caused by the fact that there are too many officials in the imperial court."

Fang Xiaobai's words made Su Guansheng's face reddened. He, who prided himself on eloquence, was not to be outdone. He opened his mouth, but was turned back by a murderous look from the side.

"What Poluhou said is not bad. If it weren't for so many corrupt officials who don't care about us, who would want to do the deed? I, Li Dingguo, loved reading history books since I was a child, and I know the four characters of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! Today, Lord Hou can afford it. I'll wait for the reckless, I'll wait for Lord Hou's saddle and horse, and I'll do whatever I want."

Glancing contemptuously at the terrified Su Guansheng, Li Dingguo spoke bluntly, willing to join Fang Xiaobai's command on behalf of the Great Western Army.

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree, and now Fang Xiaobai's big tree is full of branches and leaves, hugging his thigh tightly, and a bright future is beckoning to him.

Before coming to Nanjing, he had discussed with Sun Kewang, but unfortunately there was a big difference: Sun Kewang wanted to continue to rule Yunnan and Guizhou as king, while Li Dingguo wanted to accept recruitment, and they couldn't resolve the dispute, and finally the two broke up unhappy.

At this time in history, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo had already had a rift because of the Sha Dingzhou incident. Although Dingguo endured the humiliation for the unity of the Great Western Army, the two seemed to be fighting each other afterwards.

Fang Xiaobai's intervention was just right, not too early and not too late, and successfully won Li Dingguo's favor and defection, and he added another titan under his command.

"Okay! Brother Hongyuan (Li Dingguo's name is Hongyuan) understands the righteousness. I appoint you as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, the general who conquers the west, and the prime minister of Sichuan and Guizhou affairs. At that time, I will provide you with [-] cavalry. I will solve it for you, don't worry, all you need to do is to cooperate with Li Chengdong of Lianghu to recover the land of Bashu."

Such a big handwriting, the warlords gasped.Twenty thousand cavalry!In the case of almost complete fall of the north.No matter which warlord in the south of the Yangtze River is short of horses, and it takes a lot of money to raise a cavalry, they can't afford to raise them.

You must know that in the era when hot weapons were not fully popularized, a cavalry army could often defeat enemy infantry several times its own.It's no wonder that the warlords will lose their colors collectively.
