The General Pinglu went south to pacify the enemy!

When this news was spread to all places through the imperial court's residence, the entire Huguang land was boosted, and all the officials and the people were looking forward to it. For them, they could care about the so-called "unofficial heart", "clear the king's side", or this or that, for them who were deeply suffering from the thief, they only had one thought in their hearts - now, the thief will not be rampant for long!

Afterwards, everyone was counting the days there, looking forward to the arrival of the Pinglu General.

Just as they were expecting, Wuchang was defeated by "Zuo Liangyu". Before people could react, another news suddenly came - the thief Xian Yu Yueyang and his pseudo-dynasty were attacked and killed by bombs, and the thief generals such as Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi surrendered to the Pinglu General...

The thief who had been rampant for more than ten years was wiped out like this!

These news echoed around the world like the thunder in the twelfth lunar month.

The thief Xian who was rampant in the world surrendered, and even Zuo Liangyu, who had looted Wuchang, was also killed by the Pinglu General!

Is the world peaceful?

For the people of Huguang who had just experienced the disaster of war, they were all shocked by this series of news. When the General Pinglu came to Wuchang, there were naturally no people... In fact, there were not many people in Wuchang City. After Zhang Xianzhong's abduct and killing, the city was empty. Even hundreds of miles outside the city were rarely crowded.

Looking at the magnificent Chu Palace in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang's expression seemed a little solemn. This was the second palace he had ever seen, as magnificent as the De Palace. Because Zhang Xianzhong's generals fled in a hurry, they did not set fire to the city, but the palace city was destroyed.

"General, last year, the thieves first captured Hanyang. Then the entire army crossed the river from Yadanzhou, captured Wuchang, captured the King of Chu, put him into a bamboo cage, sank into the river, and killed all the royal family of the King of Chu. Then he hired the man under the age of 20 and over fifteen as soldiers, and killed the rest. From Parrot Island to Taoist priests, corpses floated along the road to cover the river. A month later, the fat on the surface of the water was still several inches thick, and even the fish and turtles in the water could not eat..."

Following the Pinglu General, Du Yinxi said softly. As Wuchang and Huangzhou soldiers were preparing for the road, he took over the official position after the fall of Wuchang City. After arriving in Huangzhou, he had been training troops in Huangzhou and trying to recover Wuchang. After learning that Wuchang was recaptured by Zuo Liangyu, he hurried to Wuchang. The following news was even more shocked and unacceptable.

In the past, he had only heard of how the Pinglu General was good at fighting. But now, in just a few days, the thief who had suffered for many years made him so easily calm down. How could he not be surprised? He even believed that the court would be so shocked after learning the news.

Du Yinxi, who only thought that the general was lost because of the King of Chu, hurriedly spoke.

"The general doesn't have to be too sad. The subordinates will order people to find relatives of the Chu family and stay..."

"The King of Chu is really worthy of death!"

Zhu Guoqiang said coldly.

"Although Zuo Liangyu has a strange ambition, he is barely considered a loyal minister. If he had retreated to Wuchang, the King of Chu could properly appease and recruit him, how could he end up in this area? It was a pity that hundreds of thousands of people in the city were killed by the thieves."

The general's words surprised Du Yinxi.

"General, the royal family has rules that they are not allowed to make friends with military officers."

"The rules were set in peace and prosperity. When is it now? Are you still following such rules and waiting for death? If Chengzu knew that his descendants looked like this, he would kick the coffin board in anger! The royal family, the royal family, had to defend the central government. In the troubled times, he still did not take up the rules of the emperor, but also followed the rules of the vassal ban. He was either stupid or bad, blocking Yinxi..."

Turning his head to look at Du Yinxi, looking at the Minister of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, Zhu Guoqiang asked back.

"In your opinion, is it a violation of the rules of my ancestors who led the army with my royal family?"

Du Yinxi, the Minister of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty, once strongly advocated the union of the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the end, he vomited blood and died of death on the way to lead the Zhongzhen Camp to fight. This person was able to advocate the union of the peasant army at that time and put national justice before everything else. This shows that he is definitely not a pedantic person. This is also the reason why Zhu Guoqiang asked this.

"this……"

After pondering for a moment, Du Yinxi replied.

"A general, it is also the rule of the ancestors to lead troops with vassal kings. As the general said, there are rules for troubled times, and restoring the rules of Emperor Taizu Gao is also necessary for the time!"

Du Yinxi's answer made Zhu Guoqiang nod and said with satisfaction.

"Du Yinxi, can you write to the court to the king and ask for an order to restore the ancestral system of the High Emperor!"

ah!

Opening his eyes wide, Du Yinxi felt so distressed. He did not oppose restoring the high emperor's ancestral system and using the clan vassals to lead troops to guard the center. But letting him take the lead in writing a letter is simply like putting himself on the fire!

If I wrote this book, I am sure that I will be marked as the "God Party", but God knows that I only met the General Pinglu for the first time today.

"General..."

Faced with Du Yinxi's hesitation, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Actually, I can't get a book, and now I'm not in a hurry..."

"What? I'm not in a hurry?"

He looked at the general in surprise, and before Du Yinxi could ask questions, he heard the general say again.

"I am going north to attack the rebels occupying Xiangyang, Du Yinxi, do you think the army can be carried out?"

Du Yinxi immediately fell into silence. The imperial court's decree was very clear, and it was to let the Pinglu General pledge to pacify the thieves. As for the thieves, if they did not have the will of the imperial court, they would have no merits if they sent troops without the will of the court!

Faced with Du Yinxi's silence, Zhu Guoqiang walked towards the Chu Palace with a wry smile, and said while walking.

"Look, for the court, they would rather let the thieves take power than let Zhu go north to attack the thieves. In the final analysis, the best choice is to let Zhu stay in this royal city like other vassal kings, stay honestly, and not ask anything. When the thieves come, just let the thieves kill them. In this way, they will be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty. As for me..."

Looking back at Du Yinxi, Zhu Guoqiang asked back.

"Du Yinxi, in the eyes of the world, am I a Zhongfan?"

This question is simply a bit heartbroken. It is said that it is a loyal vassal. The relatives of the vassal kings in the world are as domineering as him, killing civil officials and military generals.

Are there such loyal ministers in this world?

But can you say this?

Besides, he had no choice but to kill someone.

Well, to put it bluntly, this is just the reason Du Yinxi found for him himself.

Actually, it is also a good thing to have a reason. At least you can convince yourself just like now, at least you can convince yourself that the general is a loyal minister.

But after searching through history books, you are afraid that you will not be able to find a loyal minister like him.

Alas, since the court doesn’t care, why should I consider these things?

In fact, Du Yinxi was also confused. He knew why the general in front of him was not moving, but because he couldn't move!

The court not only needed him to pacify the Eastern Barbarians, but also needed him to pacify the bandits. The most important thing was that the troops under his command made the court dare not act rashly against him.

Let Zuo Liangyu kill Liang and take credit for him, and raise the enemy to respect him. No one knows you in the court, but so what?

They all pretended to be deaf and dumb. Not only did the civil and military officials of the court pretend to be deaf and dumb, but even the emperor pretended to be deaf and dumb again. Because everyone needed Zuo Liangyu's army of hundreds of thousands to pacify the bandits.

But in the final analysis, Zuo Liangyu is just a warlord, but the general in front of him is not just a warlord.

If he had the chance, he might turn into... Just when this thought arose in Du Yinxi's mind, he only heard the general say.

"Everyone in the world thinks that I am a treacherous minister, I am a foul vassal, so I..."

After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang looked towards Nanjing, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"I must go to Nanjing in the future! I will ask Emperor Gao to restore the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty!"
