Chapter 1114 Mount Tai collapses but remains unchanged

Before the general could speak, Ruan Fuyuan got angry, pointed at the man and shouted: "As a general, you should not panic even if you are in danger! In the words of the Ming Dynasty, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your appearance will not change. Only in this way can you Handle things calmly and calmly. Don’t you understand this principle?”

Between words, it seems that he has already made a decision. As long as this general hesitates for a moment, he will probably depose him immediately, because this means that he is not qualified to be a general!

However, according to what he thought, he had already taught him this way. As long as he was not a fool, he would definitely not hesitate and show the proper composure.

However, this time, Ruan Fuyuan thought wrong. The general approached in panic and reported in a panic: "Your Highness, something is wrong! The Ming army had landed at Feifu a few days ago, and now it has been cut off. Our army’s retreat route…”

"What? What did you say?" Ruan Fuyuan was shocked. He couldn't wait for the general to finish his words, so he interrupted in shock and asked, "The Ming army landed in Feifu? This... how is this possible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, George next to him also got the translation. He was also shocked and jumped in front of Ruan Fuyuan. He stared at the general and asked loudly: "What, Feifu was occupied by the Ming army? What about the artillery workshop, the shipyard, and my camp in Portugal?”

After finishing speaking, he felt that the communication was too slow. He grabbed the translator beside him and quickly pushed him to ask him to translate quickly.

The Portuguese power in Annan is now concentrated in Feifu. It can be said that the Portuguese in Annan have their roots in Feifu, a place where they have spent countless efforts. This place must not be lost! Therefore, it would be strange if George didn't panic when he heard the news!

At this time, the general was not in the mood to remind the two leaders that Mount Tai would collapse in front of him and remained calm. He just reported the situation he knew in panic. It was only after Fei Phuoc, that is, when the Ming army in Hoi An attacked north, that Nguyen Phuc Yuan's army in the rear got the news and quickly came to Thang Long Palace to report it.

After hearing the specific news, Ruan Fuyuan seemed to have lost his soul, and said a little stupidly, as if talking to himself: "How could this happen? Why, why did this happen? How could the Ming army happen to be in Feifu, behind the scenes?" Landing suddenly when there is nothing? This is impossible! If something happens in the middle, this Ming army will be wiped out. How can they dare to take this risk? I can’t figure it out..."

The Portuguese Governor George was similar to Nguyen Phuc Yuan, he was like a brother in distress, unable to accept the facts he heard.

For the two of them, the meaning of the Ming army suddenly taking away their lair and cutting off their retreat was very clear. The Ming Dynasty will never let them go lightly, even if they use Pu Mingming and Sha Dinghai, the heads of the two rebel chieftains, it will be useless. No matter how weak they are, it will be useless if they do anything to save face! Otherwise, the Ming army would not have been able to take such a big risk to destroy their home base.

Of course, at least that's what the two of them thought. For Daming, with the advance layout of Jin Yiwei and the chat group for instant communication, it is actually not very risky to take down their nest at the right time.

"Your Highness, what should we do? What should we do?" The general had no eyesight and instead of sneaking away quietly, he shouted in panic.

After a while, Ruan Fuyuan finally came back to his senses.

Ruan Fuyuan didn't know when his eyes turned blood red. He looked up at the city wall of Sheng Long Mansion as the setting sun seemed to be dyed red by blood. His face turned ferocious, and he shouted sternly: "Gather all the soldiers and horses to fight back overnight. We must take it back!"

However, now that his army has dispersed due to the encirclement and suppression of the chieftain's soldiers, they are both in the city and outside the city. It is impossible to assemble them just because they say they are gathering. Not to mention staying overnight, it is still unknown whether we can leave early tomorrow morning.

His generals heard this and were about to speak when suddenly another flying horse came from a distance. Judging from their clothing, they should be sent out as scouts.

The scout quickly rolled off his saddle and dismounted from his horse, panting and reporting: "Your Highness, the Ming army has left Zhennan Pass and is rushing towards Shenglong Mansion. The number of people...the number of people cannot be estimated..."

"What?" Ruan Fuyuan stared at the scout with his blood-red eyes and shouted sternly, "I can't estimate the number of people, so what use do I need from you?"

"No, Your Highness!" the scout hurriedly replied, "The Ming troops are leaving Zhennan Pass in a steady stream, one after another. I really don't know how many Ming troops are behind!"

"..." Ruan Fuyuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. At this time, he already understood that the Ming army was attacking from the north and the south, and was going to put down Annan in one fell swoop!

Not only him, but also George was stupid. Perhaps he was not a landlord compared to Ruan Fuyuan, so he came to his senses first and immediately said to Ruan Fuyuan: "Can we defeat the Ming army? If not, we will retreat to the seaside immediately, where our fleet is still there!" The worst case... the worst case is to evacuate from the sea!"

He can leave, but Ruan Fuyuan's roots are in Annan, so he can't leave! Besides, the navy couldn't carry away all his troops. Even if they can pack it away, if they have to sail on the sea for many days without food, a large number of soldiers will inevitably starve to death. This method is basically not feasible for Ruan Fuyuan.

With this in mind, Ruan Fuyuan first roared to the scouts and the generals standing below: "Quickly, find out the strength of the Ming army immediately. The Ming army must be exhausted after coming from afar. Our army has just won a great victory. Maybe we can defeat them." !”

After watching his men follow the order in a panic, he turned around, looked at George and said: "It's not that the Ming army has never occupied Annan, but they were driven away by our Annan people. This time, we will still take the Ming army." The army rushed back. And this is what Your Excellency said, you must show your strength first, and then you can go to peace talks with the Ming Dynasty. As long as you and Gu work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this level."

It can be said that George has staked all his money on Annan, and he would not give up if possible. When he heard Ruan Fuyuan's words at this time, he was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether he could defeat the Ming army.

In fact, the Ming army suddenly landed in Feifu, just in time to seize the opportunity to defeat their home base and cut off their retreat. The Ming army was obviously well prepared and attacked from the north and south. With such a premeditated plan, how could it be possible to defeat the Ming army so easily!

Ruan Fuyuan saw George's hesitation, so he made another promise. The preferential conditions were such that he and the Fo Langji people would share Annan equally. He also described how Annan had defeated the Ming army, so he reluctantly made George agree. Continue to fight alongside him.

At this time, night had come. Ruan Fuyuan made an excuse and left George's side, but went to privately tell his men to keep an eye on Mr. Fo Lang and never let Mr. Fo Lang escape.

After finishing all this, Ruan Fuyuan was worried. Facing the menacing Ming army, how should he win?

In his heart, he actually had no confidence at all, but he had no way out and had to defeat the Ming army!

But at this time, in Kunming, Yunnan, the atmosphere had changed significantly. Originally, after the two chieftains rebelled, coupled with the rebellion of the Amizhou and Tunongshan chieftains before, it made people feel like, how come Yunnan is full of rebellions?

Although Kunming has the Ming Governor in charge, although it has begun to strictly investigate traitors before, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner, people's panic is still inevitable. More importantly, the Governor-General's Palace issued a summons order to summon other chieftains to Kunming to discuss the military situation. As a result, only three or four chieftains arrived. The other chieftains all got sick at the same time. Their conditions were various, but they had one thing in common: they were unable to move and could not come to Kunming.

This situation even caused some private discussions in Kunming. It is said that Yunnan was originally under the governance of Prince Mu's Mansion, how could there be so many chieftain rebellions! As a result, the imperial court first sent an imperial envoy from the cabinet, and then some governor was appointed to take charge. The result was good. The chieftains rebelled one after another. In Yunnan, did the imperial court still want it?

There are even more radical remarks, saying that the officials appointed by the imperial court are incompetent and can only force the rebellious chieftains, but they are not able to wipe out the rebellious chieftains and suppress them. I don’t know how such an official became a senior official of the imperial court?

Just as these remarks were spreading, the Baigan Army suddenly appeared in Kunming. The appearance of this elite army immediately stopped the discordant remarks in Kunming City. Moreover, the original signs that the rebel chieftains wanted to besiege Kunming disappeared. Among the sick chieftains, several suddenly recovered and came to Kunming overnight.

However, the Baigan Army was stationed in Kunming and stood still. A few days later, rumors began to spread in Kunming. It is said that the Baigan Army is also the chieftain of Shizhu. They are very dissatisfied with the current policy of the imperial court, so they stand still.

However, within a few days, it was as if it suddenly emerged from the ground overnight. The imperial army actually appeared in Kunming one after another. Generals from all walks of life, with accents from various places, entered the city with great fanfare to report to the Governor's Mansion.

Any discordant remarks were suddenly gone. All the sick chieftains were all recovered and rushed to the Governor's Mansion to express their loyalty. The hearts of the people of Kunming were thus settled. Speaking of which, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have never heard of so many imperial troops entering Kunming and Yunnan.

At this time, the Governor's Mansion finally released the impounded newspapers, which made Kunming City aware of the situation outside. Only then did they realize that the emperor had personally conquered Liaodong and pacified Liaodong. There was no rival in the north of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it is easy to understand why so many imperial troops entered Yunnan. The imperial court even had the strength to dispatch more troops to Yunnan. After all, the Ming Dynasty's millions of frontier troops are no joke. In this case, even if all the chieftains in Yunnan rebel, I believe the imperial court will be able to put it down!

According to the plan, the army will go out tomorrow, leading the chieftain armies to surround the rebel chieftain army in the north. Among them, the army of each chieftain is responsible for the containment, and the army of the local guards is responsible for attacking and engaging in contact and combat with the army of the chieftain. This is mainly used for the training of these streamlined guards.

However, before departure, Zhu Xieyuan of the Governor-General's Office had a private chat with Emperor Chongzhen. He reported a summary of the situation in Kunming during this period and said clearly: "Your Majesty, the veteran has found out that the source of the rumors in the city comes from Prince Mu's Mansion. , it was the housekeeper of Prince Mu’s Mansion who hired some helpers through a third party to spread the news.”

Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised when he saw this news, because the Jin Yiwei in Kunming City had already reported this matter to him. Now that the two conclusions were consistent, after thinking for a while, he replied to Zhu Xieyuan: "I have learned about it, and I will arrange it tonight!"

As for Prince Mu's Mansion, to be honest, Zhu Xieyuan really had no authority to deal with it, so he reported the matter to Emperor Chongzhen. So upon hearing this, he was a little curious about how the emperor would arrange this matter, but the emperor didn't say anything and it was hard for him to ask.

But he didn't wonder about this for long.

Not long after Zhu Xieyuan reported the news, a team of royal guards took away the relevant witnesses and evidence from the Governor's Mansion and went directly to Prince Mu's Mansion.

After that, no one knew what happened in Prince Mu's Mansion. It's just that when Jin Yiwei left, there were no longer any physical or personal evidence. Early the next morning, Prince Mu's Mansion sent someone to the Governor's Mansion, saying that the Mu family was guarding Yunnan. Now that there were so many chieftains and rebels, the Mu family also had a responsibility and was willing to donate part of the military resources to use the army to suppress the rebellion.

In the original history, in the later period of the Shapu Rebellion, one of the very important reasons why Sha Dingzhou tried every means to capture Kunming, Yunnan was the wealth of Prince Mu's Mansion. Historical records: The Mu family lived in Yunnan for a long time, and the palace was full of treasures. The Buddha's capstone, green arrowheads, cinnabar, fallen red, amber, horseshoes, and red gold are all packed in boxes. The boxes are each a hundred catties, and they are hidden on high boards. There are fifty boxes in the board storehouse, a total of more than 250 treasures. His treasures are incomparable. count. Dingzhou was transported to Bendong for months and months. This shows how much wealth Prince Mu’s Mansion has!

In this dimension, Prince Mu's Mansion was not willing to let the power of Yunnan fall by the wayside. They thought they saw an opportunity and made some small moves. Unexpectedly, they were caught by both the Governor's Mansion and the Jin Yiwei. Emperor Chongzhen used this as an excuse to force Prince Mu to donate part of his property for military supplies.

This unexpected fortune made Zhu Xieyuan very happy. He understood that if he came forward to negotiate with Prince Mu's Mansion, I am afraid that Prince Mu's Mansion would not be able to come up with the money. After all, Prince Mu's Mansion could completely put the responsibility on the foreign manager. However, it was different when Jin Yiwei came to the door.

With this extra wealth, I have a lot of confidence to go on the expedition.

At the same time, Wan Cailian in Amizhou was also very happy to entertain Sha Dingzhou, the younger brother of Sha Dinghai, the chieftain of Tunongshan. Speaking of which, Sha Dingzhou is about the same age as her. And from the process of her contact with Sha Dingzhou, she discovered that Sha Dingzhou had a general reputation and ambitions that Sha Dinghai did not have.
