Hahaha.

Li Mingxun laughed loudly, and everyone was surprised to see each other and couldn't understand why he was so disobedient. After laughing, Li Mingxun said, "Mr. Chen, although I am young, I am never arrogant. No matter how many high hats I put on, it is useless. I will be in charge of the army, and the advance and retreat are all based on the gains and losses. I can't do anything like a mob who leads more than ten thousand people to attack the camp of 40,000 people."

As soon as these words were said, Chen Zizhuang's face suddenly looked ugly, because the last sentence was about him. Wu Mu grinned and said, "Please, provoke the general, and force the general. Which civil servants of the Great Ming Dynasty have never used it in the past few years? My master is not so easy to fool."

"What do you mean?" Chen Zizhuang asked glaring at Wu Mu.

Wumu asked: "You old man obviously have never taken charge of the military. I don't bother to argue with you if you can fight or not. I will ask you, is there any benefit in defeating the Qing army for you?"

"If you defeat the Qing army in the Northern Camp, you can restore Guangdong and relieve the people from the hang of the people!" Chen Zizhuang said righteously,

Wu Mu laughed: "Restoring Guangdong is the revival of your Guangdong. The people are just snatching the people from the Qing army and letting you ruin it. What does it have to do with our community? In a big battle, the soldiers of our community will be killed, injured and consumed, what are they, and how much is the income?"

Seeing a group of people not speaking, Umu simply said bluntly: "Don't you understand? Then I'll just say it, why should I work hard for you? Your righteous soldiers can still get some silver and food from the hands of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. What can we get by with food and life to kill the enemy for you? You have no money and food, so you will definitely not be able to give us money and property, and you will not even be willing to give us good faces. Are we fools or lunatics, with a hot face and a cold butt, and with a shameful face!"

Chen Zizhuang stood up suddenly and was about to refute it. Wu Mu suddenly said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's about to start talking again. Zuo is just the same language and race. The king is in danger and the nation is declining. Everyone should pay money and food. They should be united and work together to avoid such nonsense!"

Wu Mu grabbed the teacup beside him and took a sip, spit it on the ground, and said, "The soldiers outside cannot receive food and salary. Aren't you drinking the best Longjing tea?"

"Wumu, enough, step back!" Li Mingxun shouted.

Wu Mu looked around for a while, smiled coldly, and stepped aside. Li Mingxun said seriously: "Wumu's words are vulgar, but they are completely honest. I know that you are highly respected and cannot bear these angers. But at this time, you have to bear it, and you have to bear it if you don't!"

Chen Zizhuang said coldly: "I won't argue with you about those things. I just want to know, what do you want to do in the East?"

Li Mingxun said: "The grassroots have words, and money is the master. In the chaotic times, soldiers are the king. I have money, soldiers and food, so I should have the right to speak. Lord Chen, I know you are loyal and righteous, and I admire you very much. But loyalty and righteousness cannot be used as food. Even if you talk big, you can't kill the Qing army. You can't let me pay for food, and you still follow your orders. I am not a fool, don't treat me as a fool."

Lin Shizhang hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't be impulsive. The enemy is facing each other, so you can't fight in the internal battle."

Li Mingxun sat back and said, "Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong gave up Guangzhou to make us fight in the internal struggle. It can be said that we have all been trapped. Whether you admit it or not, I will continue to say that we want to break the deadlock, either defeat Tong Yangjia's main force, or withdraw from Guangzhou and defend the land that can be defended! Not only you, I am reluctant to give up Guangzhou, but the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have lost so many territories, and these two cities are not bad. The hope of the imperial captives is in people, and people and land are lost, and people and land are lost!"

Chen Zizhuang still had to argue, but Li Mingxun shook his head helplessly, interrupted him, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Chen, sir, do you think Guangzhou is important or Emperor Yongli is important?"

This is not a difficult question to answer. No matter what everyone thinks about the escaped emperor, he is the only orthodox of the Ming regime today. No matter where he fled, the southwest half of the southwest can still be united. Even if he is only on the surface, if he dies, a new civil war will break out just by supporting the new king.

"Under today's circumstances, it is difficult to argue about victory or defeat in Guangdong, but Li Chengdong's army entered Guangxi has only two or three thousand. As long as we send an elite army into Guizhou, we can stop the attack of the Qing army and save the Emperor Yongli. As long as Guangxi is in hand, Guangdong will still have a base, no matter what it is like." Li Mingxun said in detail.

Several generals surrounded him, and Lin Cha said: "The emperor was walking in the dark, and the Xijiang River channel from Guangdong to Guangxi has been cut off by the Qing captives. The Sanshui and Zhaoqing are all in the hands of the Qing army, so it is really hard to fight."

Yuan Shizhong said: "We can go ashore from Lianzhou and go upstream along the Nanliu River. This waterway was originally used as a waterway for Guangdong to transport salt from Guangxi. It can pass through the Pingdu River boat. When you arrive in Yulinzhou and pass through Tianmen Pass, you will enter the Beiliu territory, go south along the Beiliu River and go directly to the Xijiang River. You can recover Wuzhou and retreat to cover Nanning, which is a complete solution!"

"General Yuan said exactly what I want to say. Now that the coalition forces have few soldiers and food, it is better to protect Guangxi and the emperor first than to fantasize about regaining Guangdong." Li Mingxun said in support.

"Yes, yes, as long as the emperor stays in Guangxi, the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi will turn around." Hong Tianzhuo also stood up to support.

Chen Zizhuang was stunned for a moment and sat down on the ground dejectedly. At this time, he realized that it was just his wishful thinking to recover Quan Guang. These generals were unsure of them, but no one dared to speak out. They were not afraid of their own power, but they did not want to bear the bad reputation of being cowardly and abandoning the people.

"Mr. Chen, who do you think it's better to send to Guangxi?" Lin Shizhang asked.

He said this cleverly. On the surface, he respected Chen Zizhuang very much, but he did not give him any room for opposition. In fact, Lin Shizhang had already thought about it, so it would be fine if Chen Zizhuang agreed. If he disagreed, then he would send troops himself in the name of serving the king. If Chen Zizhuang dared to stop him, he would simply not recognize his identity as the Minister of War and part ways.

"Mr. Li thinks who is suitable?" Chen Zizhuang thought for a moment and kicked the ball to Li Mingxun.

Li Mingxun smiled: "This time, from Lianzhou to Guangxi, the mountains are high and the road is long, but the time is urgent, and it is impossible to delay for a while. I thought that General Lin Cha was the head commander to control his troops and horses. I was just shooting more than a thousand elite soldiers to help. General Lin Cha was originally the general of the Guangdong Navy, and his soldiers were both in the water and land battles. I sent the navy's land battle camp. In the same way, the troops, horses, money and food of this partial division were the responsibility of the association, and it was done as soon as possible."

"Who will supervise?" Chen Zizhuang asked.

Obviously, this guy was looking for a civil servant, and Li Mingxun immediately said: "Of course, Lord Hong is suitable. He came from Guangxi and was a person who was trusted by the Chief Auxiliary. Guangxi officials should obey it."

This is reasonable, but in fact it is also selfish. Hong Tianzhuo, who was supported by the army, was the only legal civil servant in Guangdong. It is more convenient to cooperate. Hong Tianzhuo's more than 3,000 troops would naturally have to stay. Hong Tianzhuo had officials but no soldiers, and Lin Chayuan was also the general of Shaowu, and he relied on himself to support food and salary, so in fact, the community still controlled everything.

"Mr. Hong, I think what Lord Li said was about planning the country. After I go back, I will hand over my subordinates to me." Chen Zizhuang said, obviously he didn't want the Guangxi soldiers to fall into Lin Shizhang's hands.

Hong Tianzhuo was very focused. This person was also a loyal and righteous person. Although he had a close relationship with Ding Kuichu, he was always loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

"The matter of serving the king has been confirmed. What is the war in Guangzhou? Lord Li must have a charter." Hong Tianzhuo suddenly said, obviously he was worried that after he left, Chen Zizhuang would have no support and his power would be lost.

Li Mingxun said: "Before Lord Hong has not sent back the exact news about Emperor Yongli, I will personally lead a large army to guard Guangzhou."

"Okay, that's the matter. Let's work together to overcome danger." Chen Zizhuang bowed and said earnestly.

Li Mingxun and others left the yamen and returned to the commander-in-chief. Wu Mu rode on the horse and said, "Master, why are we doing with this group of people? We can't fight without money or food. They all look like old men, treating us as grandsons."

Li Mingxun smiled: "The situation is very difficult. It would be fine if Guangdong is lost, but Guangxi cannot be lost. Otherwise, my brother-in-law would not even have a rear. Now Yunnan is in chaos by the rebellion of Shadingzhou. Guizhou and southern Sichuan are the territory of the thieves. Huguang is so fierce that it is impossible to get married. Without Guangxi, the Yongli court will be over.

Of course, we are not entirely for the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Hong Kong or the base camp, we have a large number of parliamentarians and merchants from Guangdong and Guangxi. These people are watching. We may not be able to protect Guangdong, but we must not do nothing. Even if we do it for people within the community, we have to do it. We have been holding Guangzhou for two months, and we gave those people time to pack up their property and leave Guangdong. Moreover, Guangdong is a prosperous place, and the local industries such as iron smelting, porcelain, cotton and linen textiles are also extremely prosperous, especially in Foshan Town, where tens of thousands of craftsmen are more valuable than the entire Guangzhou City."

"Song Ye has come. He has taken on the job of the Immigration Bureau. Let him leave this matter to him. I will send hundreds of people to suppress him." Gao Feng, as a veteran, naturally knew the importance of immigration.

Li Mingxun nodded slightly and said, "It's not only the people you sent to find Lin Shizhang to ask for people. Although Foshan has two main businesses of iron smelting and ceramics, it has formed a deeply rooted gentry clan over the past hundred years. Those craftsmen rely on them. If this group of people does not nod, we can't take many people away. Let Lin Shizhang's people go there to donate, either give money or give people, and do a two-pronged approach!"

"Hehe, this method is good, I like it." Wu Mu had long disliked the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and laughed out loud.

Li Mingxun said: "Don't laugh, you will hand over the errands of the guards later. Follow Lin Cha to Guangxi and leave the matter of serving the king to you. You are a person around me, and you are close to you and have swords and weapons in hand. The officials from the Ming Kingdom dare not disobey you."

When Wu Mu heard the errands for him, he shouted. When the three of them returned to the command center, there were constant people coming to the door. First, the local gentry who had a close relationship with the community came to ask for help, but Li Mingxun handed over to the staff officers to take care of it, but Lin Cha came to the door soon.

"General Lin, welcome, please sit down." Li Mingxun greeted him with a smile.

"Your Excellency, why do you need to click on my general? Alas, I really don't dare to let my troops serve the king." Lin Cha said with a bitter face.

Li Mingxun understood Lin Cha's situation. Now his rats were in the bellows, and both ends were angry. Lin Cha was originally the general of the Guangdong Navy and was considered powerful locally, but he has been lucky in recent years. Chen Youlong took charge of Guangdong and Guangxi and reduced the salary of the navy. Lin Cha's strength was greatly damaged. Later, Ding Kuichu took over the throne and was not unfair to him. Then, Lin Shizhang took charge of Qionglei and brought Huang Fei and Yuan Shizhong. Huang Fei had a high qualification and was famous. He wanted to leave the position of Navy General in Longwu, and Lin Cha could only become the general in Guangdong.

That's not all. Shaowu ascended the throne, Lin Cha became the lord of military affairs, defeated Yongli's reinforcements, killed the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi of the Yongli court. Now only the Yongli court is left. Lin Cha was pulled onto the imperial guards' ship. Even though Chen Zizhuang and others said they had given up their past grudges, Lin Cha was still nervous.

"How come I don't know General Lin's situation? This time I asked the general to serve the king. When I met the emperor, I would like to meet Chen Zhongyi and let go of my past grudges." Li Mingxun said. Of course, these are all scenes. There are two reasons for Lin Cha to send troops. First, he is neutral and has no aid in Guangxi and Guangdong. Second, he has few soldiers and horses, so Wu Mu can control himself.

Lin Cha said: "It's this time, Lin no longer has this intention. The future is unpredictable. I, Lin Cha, have been deeply grateful to the emperor. I, I, have been grateful to you. But I hope you can give me some grace. Lin is too grateful to me."

Li Mingxun never thought Lin Cha would do this and asked, "What does the general want?"

Lin Cha said: "There are more than 1,500 people under Lin's command, and more than half of the servants are in the war. Lin cannot take them to war with them to let their families be threatened by the Iron Hoof of the Qing Dynasty. Lin heard that you have the idea of ​​moving the people of Guangdong and Guangxi. Please take the families of these servants away and place them overseas. We will be willing to fight the enemy."

Li Mingxun smiled and understood that Lin Cha was sure that his future was uncertain and was extremely disappointed with the court, so he had to arrange a way out.

"This is a trivial matter, so let's place it in Qiongzhou first, and wait until the general returns to the victory and return, and then deal with it." Li Mingxun said.

Lin Cha hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Lin means going to Taiwan or Luzon."

"The journey is too long. When the general returns, he will have to send it back." Li Mingxun was so difficult.

Lin Cha said: "No, if Lin can come back alive, he will take his elite troops to join the club. This time, he will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for the last time."
