After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded outside the palace gate.

Zheng Bing was interrupted by the sound of footsteps, and looked up to see Pan Wu outside who was about to salute.

"General Pan please come in quickly, there is no need to be polite!"

He cheered up a little, stood up and said loudly to Pan Wu.

If it is said who is the number one handsome talent under Zheng Bing's command, then Pan Wu dares to be the second and no one dares to be the first.

Pan Wu used to be his father Zheng Song's confidant general, and later won the family's fight for succession, and Pan Wu played a big role.Later, he followed him in the Northern Expedition, captured Gaoping in one fell swoop, and killed Mo Chao Taishang Mo Jinggong and his crown prince.It can be said that Pan Wu was involved in every battle where he stepped towards the commanding heights step by step.

Known for nearly two years.

Zheng Bing's power gradually stabilized, and some bad rumors gradually spread from the ruling and opposition parties. Although Zheng Bing didn't believe it, he inevitably alienated Pan Wu a little.And Pan Wu also has self-knowledge, although he is in a high position, he has always lived in seclusion and seldom interfered with the big and small affairs of the court.In this regard, Zheng Bing acquiesced, and a subtle tacit understanding was reached between the monarch and his ministers.

Zheng Bing did not expect that Pan Wu would be the first to arrive at this time.

"I heard that the explainer used troops against us?"

"Oh... the situation is very pessimistic, let's talk about it when everyone is here."

Zheng Bing sighed, his words were full of despair.

Seeing this, Pan Wu nodded and said nothing.

Zheng Bing has been in high spirits these years, except for some setbacks in the battle with the Mo family last year, he has not seen him like this for a long time.

In the following time, many officials came in one after another, both civil and military.Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was dull, they all saluted carefully and stood in their respective positions.

After almost everyone arrived, Zheng Bing spoke.

"I think everyone has heard some news. The Ming army has already used troops against us. Judging from the current situation, they should have three groups of troops, with a total of nearly 4 people. One road in the northwest border, one road in Shanxi, and one road in Haiyang. All the way. Except for the one in Shanxi, the goals of the other two are very clear, which is where we are, Thang Long! Let’s talk about it, everyone, and how to retreat from the enemy.”

As soon as Zheng Yan's words fell, there was a noisy discussion in the hall.

Some were puzzled by Daming's sudden invasion, while others couldn't believe the defeat of Zheng Kai and Zheng Jiu.Others were making jokes, even thinking about whether they could get some benefits from it.It's really different.

Zheng Bing, who was sitting at the top, didn't speak, but quietly watched a group of civil and military officials whispering to each other, waiting for their constructive suggestions.

Finally, an old man with a gray beard and dressed as a civil servant spoke.

"General state affairs, Ming Dynasty is strong, but since Yongle, their emperor has always been indifferent to us Annan. At this time, they sent troops from far away, and they did not hesitate to go to war. What is it for? Only when they figure out what they want What, we can think about the next countermeasures."

"Hu Wencai, I think what you said is almost the same as not saying. If you know their true thoughts, is there still a need to fight this battle? Besides, joining them will allow our Annan to be merged into the territory of Ming Dynasty. Will we agree? Could it be you Are you going to rush to become the imperial court official of the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as Hu Wencai finished speaking, another voice sounded.If you only listen to the voice and don't look at the person, you know that you must not deal with Hu Wencai.

"Li Chengdong! Show me some respect. Don't spout blood!" Hu Wencai, who thought that the first speech would be praised by Zheng Bing, was choked to death by Li Chengdong, and stared angrily.

But Li Chengdong didn't pay attention to him anymore, but bowed his hands to Zheng Bing and said:

"President Guozheng, since Daming has already led his troops here, it doesn't matter what the purpose is. The first thing we need to do is to resist their attack and even defeat them before we are eligible to negotiate terms with them or ask for an explanation. .So the first priority right now is to assemble the army, attack them head-on, and let them know that our Zheng dynasty is not just easy to handle!"

What Li Chengdong said was impassioned, as if he had already defeated the Ming army and captured the opponent's generals, so he was about to ask Daming for an explanation.And judging from the reaction of the crowd, there are not a few people who support his statement.

Zheng Bing did not immediately comment on his words, but summoned the soldiers who had just been in charge of delivering the news, and asked him to recount the battlefield situation he had experienced in detail.

The soldier organized his words, starting with Daming's fleet attacking the port and ending with the capture of Haiyang City.Tell your story clearly and clearly.

All the civil and military people who listened were stunned, which was even more incredible than listening to evil and strange things.

"Impossible! How can there be such a small and powerful cannon in the world! It's running around with its back on its back! It's just a dream!" A general reacted and shouted loudly.

"That's right! Those Dutch people have said that in order to be powerful, the barrel must be thick. This small artillery carried on the body is not as powerful as the fireworks set off during the New Year, right?"

"And the explosives that blow up the city gate, the amount carried by a dozen people can blow up the city gate? Who would believe it! It must be that Zheng Jiu fled without a fight, and ordered people to pass it back because he was afraid that the Generalissimo would punish him." information."

Everyone's reaction was strong, but most of them expressed disbelief. Later, some people started clamoring to punish Zheng Jiu for fleeing without a fight.

In the end, Zheng Yan couldn't stand it any longer, coughed twice, and the hall quieted down.

"I asked you to come here so that you can talk about how to face such a Ming army in the future, not to ask you to question the Marshal's ability to judge the truth! Now there is a question, Daming does have such a Powerful firearms, what should we do then? Who among you can stop these three Ming armies?"

Zheng Bing's eyes looked around sharply, no one dared to meet his gaze.

Although Zheng Bing said so, most people still didn't believe it, but no one raised any doubts, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

"Generalissimo, I have an immature idea."

Pan Wu, who had been standing in front of the crowd without saying a word, finally spoke.

"General Pan, but it doesn't matter."

"Actually, we don't have to think about Daming's purpose at this time. His army has already reached our door, and we only have to fight. No matter where they march from, no matter which cities they capture, they must eventually Come here. As long as they can't attack Shenglong, even if they occupy the entire Annan, they will still be considered defeated. Because they can attack, but can't defend. The reason why they march so fast is nothing more than taking this point into consideration , unwilling to fight a protracted war, want to win Thang Long as quickly as possible.

Therefore, my suggestion is to immediately gather people from all the prefectures to join Shenglong, King Qin! "
