Later, two palace maids outside the Ganqing Palace had just brought out a copper basin, handled their errands, and chatted on the way back to rest.

"Your Majesty has personally fought for the war, have you heard?"

"How can you not know such a big noise?" Another palace maid sighed: "The Empress has a dragon son, but His Majesty left the palace at this time."

"Since His Majesty left the capital, the Empress has been depressed."

The other man said as he walked: "It is said outside that the southwest is not as light as the Liao incident. The rebels surrounded Chongqing City, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces with martial law. Only our inner court thought the world was peaceful."

"Stop talking, let the old palace servant hear it, and it's time to be scolded again."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a team of magnificent lieutenants turned around the corner. They held their swords and were ordered to patrol the Kunning Palace day and night.

Late at night, a scream came from Kunning Palace.

In a moment, a Jinyiwei Qianhu, dressed in a flying fish suit, rushed to the door, and saw his eyes appearing alert, pressing his hand on the Xiuchun Sword, and asked loudly:

"Empress——?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm going to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back carefully, but still led the lieutenants to guard outside the palace.

His eyes were scanning around, with a cold murderous aura.

"search!"

"The palace servants who stay nearby will be killed without any hesitation!"

He remembered what Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, said not long ago, and shivered all over his body, and then said:

"During the war, the queen and the prince in his womb had a surprise. I will punish you. You will be punished! Do you understand?"

"Especially the people from the East Factory, you must not ask them to get close to Kunning Palace half a step away. No one can bear this responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the captains were energetic and said yes.

Just outside the palace, the Jinyiwei made a big fuss because of this scream. Xu Xianchun quickly sent more people from the Fufu Department to protect Kunning Palace.

Zhang Yan leaned on the pillow with sweat and sighed. She had a nightmare and then suddenly woke up.

She looked around silently and thought again, at this time, the person next to her pillows on weekdays was probably out of Tongzhou.

Zhang Yan groped and got up and lifted the curtain of the bed, staring silently at the shadow standing under the window, almost integrated with the deep and dark night outside the palace.

Several shadows stood meticulously around Kunning Palace, although lonely, but extremely firm.

Zhang Yan knew that this was the famous Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all the emperor's confidants, extremely loyal and reliable.

In the farther palace, I am afraid there are many guards, and there are open roads and hidden stances, so no one should be approached.

Now, although she is already the queen of the Ming Dynasty, she is still a girl one year younger than Zhu Youxiao.

I was alone in the empty room late at night and couldn't help but sobbing softly.

She hugged herself like the emperor hugged her a few days ago, curled up in a corner, and said softly:

"Don't cry, don't cry, you are the queen."

......

Sichuan, Hejiang.

Between the two mountains, the streams are gurgling and the water cannot be called turbulent, but it is surrounded by mountains and it is extremely difficult for the troops pushing the baggage to pass through.

Since receiving the news that She Chongming rebelled and surrounded Chongqing, the governor of the four southwestern provinces, Lu Qin, sent six official troops to encircle and suppress it.

Guiyang General Zhang Yanfang and Xu Chengming, the chief officer of the capital, led more than 4,000 Ming troops in the headquarters to become vanguard troops and entered Sichuan to support Chongqing.

However, the Sichuan area has a complex terrain and dense mountains, and Guizhou reinforcements obviously underestimated the local terrain.

After entering Sichuan, Zhang Yanfang's headquarters was very slow to move. At this time, he was sandwiched between the two mountains, which made him feel even more bad.

Immediately, Zhang Yanfang sent his personal soldiers to urge the battalions to pass quickly.

Three days ago, She Chongming received a letter from the local chieftains and the public said that the first batch of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had entered Sichuan.

After hearing this news, She Chongming was immediately excited and sent his general Zhang Tong to lead 20,000 horse and infantrymen to set up an ambush from outside Chongqing, the only way to the "Hechuan" that he passed.

Guiyang General Zhang Yanfang was only a general in charge during the Battle of Pingbo. Later, he made military achievements and was promoted to general.

He used the cavalry of the commander Xu Chengming's troops to open the way as the outpost, and the middle section was a musketeer and a baggage team, and personally led the infantry rear.

In summer basin, the sun is dazzling and the temperature is gradually rising.

The Ming army marched on the narrow mountain path, which was crowded. Many people were just rushing to the road and refused to say a word.

At this time, a personal soldier finally caught up and rushed forward to Xu Chengming, the official of the Ministry of State, said:

"The head town has an order, and I'll ask you to speed up!"

“How to speed up?”

Xu Chengming's eyes were so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes, and hot sweat flowed down his helmet. He wiped it while pointing around and said:

"This broken place is full of stones, and cars are inconvenient to move, and people cannot get through. The baggage camp is stuck behind, so it is difficult to move a step."

"There is no way, I'll send someone to lead the horse and pull out some of them to help the baggage battalion push the cart!"

The personal soldiers also knew that the terrain was difficult and did not say much.

Upon hearing that the Central Army's baggage was in difficulty, Zhang Yanfang immediately sent additional infantry to the middle section to help push carts and carry baggage.

The Ming army was wearing armor and equipped with sufficient gunpowder. Under Zhang Yanfang's dispatch, they quickly accelerated and marched in the mountain path.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually became late and the temperature dropped, making it much cooler. The Ming army began to distribute military bread from the middle section to the front and back.

Some soldiers took the dough cakes in their hands and walked while gnawing, while still whispering to discuss the military achievements of the imperial court after pacifying the southwest.

Some people say they want to get promoted and make money, while others say they want to return to Guizhou, marry and have a wife and children through their military achievements and live their ideal life.

Suddenly, there was an uproar ahead.

Many bloodless horses were frightened and ran back, hitting the soldiers of the middle Duan Ming overturned the car.

"The ambush of the chieftain soldiers in the middle!"

"Xu Dusi has died in battle, run away!"

Shouting sounds were everywhere, and almost in an instant, more than a thousand Ming troops in the middle section collapsed and scattered, and even the baggage was abandoned.

The mountain road was narrow. When the Ming army heard that the troops were defeated, they rushed to trample on each other. Before the chieftain soldiers arrived, they threw away all the supplies and fled between the mountains and fields.

The news of the collapse ahead was only heard in the ears of General Zhang Yanfang soon.

At this time, the outpost and the middle section were already in chaos.

Without even giving orders, the defeated soldiers rushed back and suddenly dispersed the formation of Zhang Yanfang's rear infantry.

The chieftain soldiers, holding swords and guns, accompanied by roars, rushed into the already collapsed Ming soldiers like tigers entering the flock of sheep, and slashed and slashed.

There were screams, the sound of the body rolling and falling down, followed by the clash of weapons, and the shrill howlings intertwined, making people's hearts shake and their fighting spirits disappear.

"What should I do? General Town, give me an order!"

A personal soldier looked at the chieftain soldier who was slamming in the dark, his face full of tears.

"Kill back!"

Without a moment of hesitation, Zhang Yanfang raised his sword and said, "Soldiers, it's time to serve the country!"

Immediately, he led hundreds of personal soldiers to shout and greet him, and soon drowned in the wave of She Army.

......

During this battle, the general of Guiyang, Zhang Yanfang, was stabbed several times and killed several thieves. He was unable to catch him. He was cut off by Zhang Tong by She and died in the chaos.

As for Xu Chengming, the chieftain of the front post, he had been rushed over by many chieftain soldiers and split his body into several pieces.

After Zhang Tong led the rebels to set up an ambush, annihilated 4,000 reinforcements in Guizhou, he quickly divided his troops to block the eastern waterways and led the remaining troops to encircle Zunyi.

After hearing the news that the reinforcements of the Zunyi Office were destroyed, General Zhang Yanfang and Xu Chengming, the chief officer, were almost scared and fled first, causing the Zunyi defenders to scatter.

Zhang Tong led the chieftain troops to Zunyi, captured Yuan Ren, and killed him on the spot.
