"...Ye County Magistrate Zheng Yunzhi, Gongsheng, was loyal to the country, turned the tide and saved the people, and was very grateful to me. He was promoted to the magistrate of Nanyang, deputy envoy of Henan Censorate, acting as the Minister of War, and was appointed as the fourth-rank imperial edict of the Li family, the wife of Zheng Yunzhi... Nanyang Guard Commander Ying Yi was awarded the flying fish robes, promoted to the general of Huguang, and the seal of the guerrilla general..."

"...The world is chaotic and the people are displaced, and I feel very sad. As the top and the other party are united, the soldiers use their lives to kill the thieves and restore peace to the people... The siege of Kaifeng is imminent..."

......

The imperial envoy stayed there for three days and had become the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the military preparations of Huguang, and the deputy envoy of Henan and the prefect of Nanyang, Zheng Yunzhi, looked at the gradually fading smoke and dust, and couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor was so anxious that he wanted to kill the thieves and pacify the world immediately. It's a pity..."

Sun Xiucai said lightly: "It's a pity that the emperor has nothing but famous weapons. The soldiers have to recruit themselves, the weapons and materials have to be solved by themselves, and they also have to send troops to rescue Kaifeng quickly... Has Hongwu ever thought that there would be such a dilemma since the founding of Hongwu?"

Zheng Yunzhi sighed repeatedly.

Now, what else can this Emperor Chongzhen do besides his official position? He only urged to suppress the thieves, but there was nothing else, food, salary, soldiers, or even time.

Such a huge empire has been ruined so much, how can it not make people sigh?

"I don't know where the lord has been here..." Sun Xiucai said: "If the lord knows, he will definitely be very happy."

Ying Yi was indeed very happy.

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had already guessed that because the human energy increased in an instant, it would not be without reason.

The total number of human energy has increased by 15,000, and the total number has reached nearly 28,000.

Just on the mountain, when the sky was about to dark, Ying Yi laughed three times, directly involving all the newly added humanitarian energy with the Humanitarian Platform, and put all the rapidly increasing humanitarian rankings into the army.

The number of 15,000 human qi has brought 7,500 places on the list to the human qi list. Together with the previous 5,600, the total number has reached 13,100.

Now Ying Yi's subordinates, plus Ye Bucheng, has a total of 14,000 people. In other words, only 900 people remain on the list, and the others are already on the list.

He let out a sigh of relief, Ying Yi smiled.

"The number of human energy increased by 15,000, which is not a trivial matter." Ying Yi thought in his mind: "I took over the three counties of Nanyang, but it was only 3,000 people's energy increased by 3,000 people. But the reputation was not right. Now this surge will definitely be the emperor's imperial edict... I don't know what official position I have given me..."

Then he thought: "I'm afraid that the number of human energy in this 5,000 is not just my official position. And my father-in-law, Taishan, may not say that the number of human energy he brought to me is more than my own official position."

The more the human energy, the better.

To obtain feedback on merit, the growth of military personnel, and the growth of craftsmen, you must first become famous on the list. The quota on the humanitarian list is completely related to the humanitarian energy.

"If you win another battle, or even clear the Kaifeng surround, the quota of the humanitarian list will not be scarce." Ying Yi was excited in his heart: "Using the humanitarian list as a link, my civil servants, military generals, and craftsmen are completely tied together. Their achievements are obvious at a glance. Promotion and demotion can save me countless troubles."

He calmed down his heart, looked quietly at Sun Chuanting's camp in the persimmon garden far below the mountain, and couldn't help but whisper: "Hurry up, hurry up..."

Xiangcheng County.

Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu are gathering together.

I just received a letter from Yuzhou, and Zhu Bingkun and others did not dare to neglect them.

"Xianzi is very brave and dares to attack Nanyang." Zheng Jiu said in a muffled voice: "I think it's better to divide the troops and deal with Xianzi first."

Zheng Wu frowned and looked at Zhu Bingkun: "The lord is not in the army, you and I must be cautious. The thief came to the east. Although Wuyang has Zhou power,... if there is any mistake, the three counties are uneasy. If there is any damage, you and I cannot convey to the lord."

His meaning was to divide the troops south and deal with Zhang Xianzhong first.

Zhu Bingkun pondered and said, "Nanyang is the foundation. You and I know the importance of the lord's land reclamation and cultivation in the three counties, so naturally he cannot tolerate being destroyed by thieves. But..."

He said seriously: "The war is gradually advancing. Although Yuan Zongdi of Yuzhou cannot retreat, it is not unimportant to not accept the news just now. The thieves have led their troops south. If they divide their troops at this time, it would be a big problem."

He also said: "We all know the news about Jia County, and no one expected that Sun Chuanting would come so quickly. As soon as he arrived, he attracted the thieves. In other words, the number of thieves near Xiangcheng County would be hundreds of thousands in a very short time. It is not a good way to divide the troops. We had previously decided to divide the troops to garrison Luyang Pass, but the lord refused. The two of you also knew the truth."

Zheng Jiu said annoyedly: "If there is no division of troops, what should we do if Nanyang fails?"

Zhu Bingkun said: "We should believe in Zhou Li."

He looked at the two of them: "Old Zhou has 2,500 people, and his training in the army has not been lost during this period. The humanitarian list is on the list. Although Lao Zhou has few people, the thief may not be able to do anything to Lao Zhou. It is said that Lao Zhou can still take the thief's head!"

He also said: "What's more, even if you can't win, it should not be difficult to maintain the situation. Although there are tens of thousands of people in Xianzhe, most of them are refugees who have just been trapped in Runing Mansion, and they are only a few people in the old camp. Brother Zheng Jiu, if you guard Wuyang alone, do you have the confidence to stop Xianzhe?"

Zheng Jiu slapped his chest and said, "I'm not afraid of offering a thief!"

Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "That's right. Old Zhou must not be afraid. He didn't seem to ask for help from Yuzhou, right?"

Zheng Wu was convinced and said, "Old Zhu's words are reasonable." Then he smiled and said, "If we divide the troops, Lao Zhou may be unhappy and thinks he will go to steal his military achievements."

"That's the reason." Zhu Bingkun laughed: "With old Zhu guarding Wuyang, Lord Zheng, Lord Sun, and Lord Sun supporting the supplies, what's the point of offering thieves? If he didn't beat him up, Lao Zhou was bleeding. You and I should be more nervous about the situation in front of you. The thieves went south in large numbers. Although Sun Chuanting was doing their best, they might not have the idea of ​​putting us together."

Zheng Jiu sneered: "He also needs to have that ability!"

"Of course he doesn't have that ability." Zheng Wu waved his hand: "Even if Sun Chuanting was defeated by him and he took the victory, you and I are not afraid of him at all. But the key point is not to defeat the thief. Defeating the thief is just a process, and the purpose is Kaifeng."

Zhu Bingkun clapped his hands violently: "Old Zhu said it was right. Defeating the thief is not the goal, but taking Kaifeng is the reason. Not only does it mean to take Kaifeng, but you have to let Kaifeng return. This is the difficulty."
