A few days before Li Dingguo returned to Kunming, Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi rebelled out of Kunming City not long ago. The inspection of the city gate was extremely strict, and there were many patrol soldiers on the street. This was the case with the government, and the people of Kunming were even more cautious. After all, the two generals named Wang looted the warehouse a few days ago, and then rebeled out of Kunming City from Xiaodongmen.

Kunming was designed and built by Mu Ying, the ancestor of the Mu family in Shizhen, Ming Dynasty. The master saw Changchuan Mountain Vein and believed that this mountain was a dragon Vein, and he had to be overcome by spiritual beasts, transformed by them, assisted by them, and changed them. Therefore, Kunming City was designed as a spiritual turtle, which determined the layout of the city, the city walls, and the direction of the city gate.

The Linggui is headed by the South Gate, the North Gate is the tail, and the Weihe Gate on both sides of the east and west sides, Yongqing Gate, Guangyuan Gate and Hongrun Gate are the limbs of the Linggui. On that day, the two generals Wang Ziqi and Wang Shangli rebelled out of Kunming since Xiaodong Gate. The people in the city privately said that the court killed the King of Qin, which was to cut off one tail, and the two generals rebelled out of Kunming to cut off one foot. In this way, the previous sage of the Emperor Yongli came to Kunming City, and the show that the Emperor Yongli did in front of the people was also looted by the rebels and the small east gate houses, and the chaos of the shops was gone.

After the Shadingzhou Rebellion, Kunming had been peaceful for ten years, and even the damage to Kunming during the Shadingzhou Rebellion was minimal. After hundreds of years of peace, the vassal states rebelled out of the city in front of the emperor. The people in Kunming were obviously not as common as those in Chang'an in the late Tang Dynasty. The psychological quality was too different, and these rumors were inevitable.

Just as the government was nervous and the people were whispering, the brigade of mules and horses slowly drove into Kunming City, but the flag of the Qi Palace was hung.

King Chen Wen of Qi, who was previously enthroned by King Yue, is said to be a Ming army general who rose in the distant Zhejiang. Now he has recovered the most powerful vassal of the Ming court in Nanjing, which is a bit stronger than the previous King Sun Kewang of Qin.

Many ordinary people know that the re-elected title of King Qi was also widely publicized. The Yongli court also made a big splash, not only to demonstrate the court's lenient treatment of meritorious officials, but also to create an atmosphere and to intimidate the two generals of Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi in Kunming City, as well as the vassal states and chieftains in Yunnan, Guangxi and Sichuan.

Zhejiang is so far away, and the people in Kunming don’t have deep senses. Even after Nanjing was recovered, they would inevitably discuss whether the emperor was still alive and when they were still there. Later, it was the King of Qin rebellion, and the King of Jin sent troops to quell the rebellion. As a result, when the King of Qi sent troops, the King of Qin and the King of Qi fought first. As a result, the King of Qin was captured and the court was dismissed. It is said that it was the King of Qi's proposal, and some people even said that the King of Qi forced the King of Jin to do this. The specific details are unknown.

The rebellion just ended. The King of Qi sent such a convoy. The people in Kunming watched by the roadside. Those who were familiar with the guards at the city gate were asking a few questions. The answers they got were basically the King of Qi sent people to contribute to the emperor.

King Chen Wen of Qi, the people of Kunming remember that it was the largest vassal state in the world, and even the eight banners of the Tartars could not defeat the famous Zhongxing general. Now the King of Qi sent people to send tributes to pay tribute, and the people of Kunming City were contented - not to mention anything else, at least seeing the King of Qi like this, other vassal states would not dare to come to Kunming to make trouble, right?

The people in Kunming City felt at ease, but Yongli couldn't sleep all night after seeing these tributes. After a few days, Li Dingguo returned to his post. Only then did he find a suitable person to tell him about this fear and worry.

"My minister, incompetent."

Chen Wen created a lot of mess in Guizhou, which further affected Kunming. According to Yongli's estimates, even when Wang Shangli and his friends fled to Guangxi, it was estimated that He Jiuyi, a military general who was born in the Qin vassal, would have to transform into an independent force and form an alliance with Wang Ziqi and Wang Shangli to fight against the court.

Logically, the head coach who was responsible was Li Dingguo, but his strength was equal to Si and Li Dingguo did his best, especially Yongli did not want to blame the loyal vassal king, so he had to get up quickly, walk down, and help Li Dingguo up with both hands.

"My dear, it's not your fault, it's just the King of Qi. Hey, the front door drives the wolf and the back door and enters the tiger."

After sighing, Yongli pointed to the "tributes" that had been carried to the hall by the eunuchs just now, and said to Li Dingguo: "Your dear, please take a look at these."

Li Dingguo stood up tremblingly, wondering about the piles of boxes pointed at by Yongli, but after opening it, Li Dingguo stood there stunned.

In the box were file files one after another, just as Chen Wen had to Wen'anzhi and the generals of Kuidong. What was written in the file was nothing else, but was the confession of victims who usually committed evil in the fiefdoms of Huguang vassals. Among them, there were more investigation results from officials sent by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group to Huguang.

The Gui Fan, which Yongli belonged to, was enthroned in Huguang. From his father to his brother to him, there were only three vassal kings in total, and they caught up with the war before a few good days had passed. However, he had heard about the actions of other vassal kings, even his father's actions in his daily life, and he believed half of them immediately.

Of course, if there is no forgery here, Yongli doesn't believe it, but how many of them are forgery here is actually no longer important. Chen Wen sent these things when he left Guizhou, not to tell someone in the Yongli Dynasty that he had an open song with him, but to tell him clearly that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already gained a foothold in Huguang, and the vassal kings wanted to return to their fiefdoms was just a dream, so don't think about it.

"This King of Qi has left me with some thin face."

Yongli smiled bitterly and handed over the seven memorials to Li Dingguo. The above were Chen Wen impeached the seven vassal kings of Chu, Liao, Min, Xiang, Jing, Ji and Rong with the respect of King Qi, and asked Yongli to punish them according to the amount of illegal acts, and those files were evidence of impeachment.

The only thing that is not here is Gui Fan to whom Yongli belongs. In fact, it is not just a matter of saving face. It is clearly Chen Wen telling Yongli that if he provokes him again, the next time he will not be an impeachment memorial, but it will inevitably be an ultimatum to ask him to abdicate!

"This traitor, Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a large army out of Guizhou to fight this traitor to the death!"

The extremely angry Li Dingguo fell to the ground on one knee and asked Yongli for battle. Although this was not a result of careful consideration, it was by no means an impulse. Chen Wen's current occupied area is larger than the other nominal vassal states in the Yongli court, and it is mostly rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If the strength of the court can be restored one point every day, then Chen Wen's strength will be ten or 100, and both sides are not above the same order of magnitude.

Now that the troops are sent, there may be a possibility of a battle. If another year or two, I am afraid that Chen Wen can use the human sea tactics to flatten the Yongli court. Even if he has thousands of means, he will not be able to use it.

When Li Dingguo was like this, Yongli sighed sincerely. Chen Wen sent not only these, but also many specialties from all over the country in the other boxes, which can be regarded as tribute items.

Hangzhou embroidery, Su embroidery, Hui ink, She inkstone, Jingdezhen imperial utensils, Fuzhou oil paper umbrellas, Yangzhou embroidery, Xinhui tangerine peels and Huguang red porcelain, if they look at those memorials, it is clearly Chen Wen showing off his strength and advised Yongli not to resist unnecessary resistance. But whenever he thinks of state affairs, Yongli sheds tears and always feels sorry for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

"My dear, forget it, he still follows my common ruler of the world and has not raised the banner of independence. It is not without chance that our king and ministers can get along with each other. Now that we are in the army, there is really no need to do such things that will make our relatives hurt and our enemies happy."

"Your Majesty, I am, I am..."

Li Dingguo raised his head and looked at Yongli who had shed tears. He also burst into tears in his eyes. The king and his minister were speechless. After a long time, Yongli suppressed his tears and slowly explained some of his thoughts about Chen Wen to Li Dingguo.

"My dear, I have been thinking these days that he has reached this point, but he has been reluctant to break up with the court. Even this time, with the momentum of defeating Sun Kewang, he can enter Yunnan and force me to abdicate to him. Why bother to just search in Guizhou and retreat to Huguang, and still hold me as the leader."

Yongli's question was actually what Li Dingguo had been thinking before. Chen Wen's actions were not like a loyal minister at all, at least different from him. But compared to Sun Kewang, Chen Wen's annual tribute has never been delayed. Li Dingguo remembered that he had just arrived in Anlong to receive the carriage. When Yongli gave the banquet, he had eaten dishes made of Jinhua ham slices filled with porcelain from Jingdezhen. Even in this field, he threatened the emperor with memorials and crimes, he was transported with the tributes, which was really puzzled.

"I have thought about these things and only had one answer, that is, he was actually missing something, so he continued to do so. But it was also a good thing that he was calm. Otherwise, even if he forced me to abdicate, he would be just an enlarged version of Sun Kewang. The vassal states and the people of the world would not be convinced, and his future would be seen."

Speaking of this, Yongli couldn't help but nodded, but only he knew whether this action was approving of Chen Wen's pulse or his appreciation of Chen Wen's vision and concentration.

Speaking of this, Yongli saw that Li Dingguo was obviously also questioning this, so he bluntly explained to His Highness King Jin, who was born as a bandit but now one of the most loyal ministers around him.

"Our Emperor Gao, the Emperor of Ming Taizu, drove out the Tartars and restored the Han family's world, thus concealing the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. The situation Chen Wen is facing now is not much inferior to Emperor Gao, and the world is indeed about to be swept by the Tartars, so what he has been seeking is nothing more than a superb achievement of expelling the Tartars and a qualification to compare with Emperor Gao, that's all."

"In the past few years, even Fan Wencheng was killed, even if he refused to escort him to Kunming, it was obvious that he wanted to kill him with his own hands. There were also two famous kings, which were even better than his beloved ministers. With the rest of Nanjing's liberation, he had actually completed half of his life, and the rest was the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. As long as the capital and Zhili, Shan, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and Liaodong were all recovered, and then the prestige was unparalleled. Even if I was completely suppressed by him, no one could stop him from changing the dynasty."

Yongli said this to this point. As a minister, Li Dingguo was not only grateful, but also had a huge sense of crisis and urgency. Because Chen Wen's current strength is too strong. As long as he practiced for a whole year and a half, he could smooth out the affairs of the territory and launch a Northern Expedition along Zhu Yuanzhang's old route.

By then, with the Tartar regime, which was only tens of thousands of real people, as long as it was against the prosperous Yuan Dynasty, the strange man in the world like Wang Baobao would have to flee north in the end. The ending of the Qing Dynasty would be without asking for it.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, I can only prepare as soon as possible, lead the army north out of Sichuan, and then advance east from Shaanxi, and recover the capital before Chen Wen."

Li Dingguo was at a glance, and Yongli felt comforted, but he still had to face the current actual situation: "My dear, Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi led their troops to loot Kunming's warehouses. It is reported that they were not idle all the way east, and Guizhou was in such a situation. The court really couldn't afford the money and food to siege Baoning."

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed anymore. It is better to let Supervisor Wen help solve it."

"I know, I know." Speaking of this, Yongli sighed sincerely: "It's just that the Generals Wen have many difficulties. They want the generals in Kuidong to restrain them. Harassment may be possible, but if they are asked to support food and grass, they will not be able to give up Shancai, but I'm afraid they may not be so rich."

The vassal states do their own things, and they are local emperors in their respective control areas. This is not uncommon. In the face of this situation, the means that the court can win over were nothing more than official positions, titles, money and grain. Now they are either dukes or marquis, and there are not many soldiers. In Wanli, the Tianqi Dynasty may be just a group of generals and deputy generals. The titles of princes and dukes are exchanged for limited money and grain. I am afraid that the leaders of the army in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi may not be able to be happy.

"My dear, this matter is of great importance and is not in a hurry. Besides, the King of Shu has a lot of knowledge about Sichuan's geography and hydrology. He had previously proposed to me to manage Sichuan. It would be better to let the King of Shu lead some troops to the Sichuan Xingdusi first and slowly plan it. It is still unknown how serious the situation in Guizhou is, and maybe there is a turning point."

This is indeed a solution. Li Dingguo knew the reason why the army would be dispersed without food, so he had to stand his composure and said that he would rush back to Guizhou as soon as possible to urge officials to figure out the actual situation in Guizhou. After all, Guizhou was once a region directly under Sun Kewang, the ruler of the country. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were not very clear about the specific fiscal revenue. In addition, Chen Wen's troubles made him unable to estimate it.

Yongli was in charge of Kunming and taking charge of the overall situation. Li Dingguo went to Guizhou to take charge. Liu Wenxiu began to manage southern Sichuan. The general division of labor was determined. Li Dingguo, who felt that he was out of here, returned to his mansion, preparing to discuss with Liu Wenxiu and rest overnight before rushing back to Guiyang as quickly as possible.

However, before the negotiation between Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu was over, Yongli's angel rushed over and said that Yongli had urgent matters to summon the two princes.

Li Dingguo led the army and Liu Wenxiu was responsible for the defense of Kunming city. Logically speaking, even if there was an emergency military situation, the two of them would have learned it first. Yongli was the first to know it. The two of them hurried to the palace, but what they saw was Yongli holding a letter in his hand and walking around the hall excitedly.

Anxious in his heart, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu did not dare to lose their courtesy. They hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Yongli helped him up, and then handed the letter to the two to check. After a while, the emperor and his ministers looked at each other, and their faces were filled with the blessing of the time being.

"I will never die, my bright future has finally arrived."

As he said that, the monarch and ministers all turned their eyes to the north. Through the bricks and tiles of the hall, the blood-colored setting sun seemed to be stained with blood in the sky.
