When the news of He Tengjiao's defeat reached Kunming, Zhu Youlang was frightened and wanted to move the capital to Dali again.

This kind of thought almost didn't make all the officials in the court mad.

Wuhan is still more than 2,500 miles away from Kunming. Even if the whole process is undefended, it will take several months for the enemy to come.

In a place like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, if the enemy wants to climb up, he must first be exhausted.

At this distance, they couldn't understand what Zhu Youlang was afraid of.

Anyway, I finally persuaded Zhu Youlang.

However, what to do next, the ministers in the court have a headache.

They don't need to discuss whether to surrender or not, like the Great Western regime, they only need to discuss how to resist.

They, who represent the orthodox Ming Dynasty, will never surrender.

In fact, if possible, Zhu Youlang really wanted to surrender to Dahua.

Don't ask for anything else, as long as you can keep your life, wealth, and power, Zhu Youlang doesn't particularly care.

In his opinion, being a prince in the past was more comfortable than being an emperor now.

However, he could not speak his heart out, otherwise he would be criticized by the officials below.

To put it bluntly, in fact, he is now being coerced into a puppet for the private interests of the ministers.

Although, the ministers will treat him as a monarch on the surface, and will provide Jinyi and jade food. However, it also drove him to a dead end.

Going against Dahua will not end well.

These son-of-a-bitch officials will be able to be prosperous and rich in the future, with a lot of money and enormous power. If you can't beat it, you can surrender to Dahua and continue to enjoy abundance.

As for him, if he can't be beaten and captured in the future, that's a dead end.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang felt a burst of sadness.

This emperor really doesn't do it.

"Aiqing, is there a way to deal with it?"

Zhu Youlang asked symbolically. As for the answer, you don't need to ask.

This question has stumped everyone.

A lot of people directly showed the appearance of discouragement, obviously not optimistic about the future at all.

Even He Tengjiao, who had an army of hundreds of thousands, was easily defeated, what else could they do?

"We can continue to encourage the King of Jingzhou and let him continue to resist in the Hunan area. At the same time, we use the terrain of Guizhou to set up a second line of defense in Guizhou, and build some natural dangers to stop the Chinese army."

Zhang Tongchang, the great-grandson of Zhang Juzheng, suggested.

His method sounds like a way to continue to survive, which can slow down the speed of Hua Jun's attack.

But, that's all, to say that this method can bring Daming back to life, it's no joke at all.

"Then Zhang Aiqing will be the governor of Guiyang and be solely responsible for matters concerning the second line of defense in Guizhou."

Zhu Youlang casually gave the position of a governor. Anyway, in Daming's official position, the title has become extremely worthless.

Just pick a person out, and the official position and title can scare people to death.

However, this kind of official position and title, that is, to entertain themselves within them.

The people on Dahua's side all laughed when they heard it.

He Tengjiao was still the king of Jingzhou, and the envoys from Dahua he sent were not many people at all, and no one took him seriously as a prince.

Just when Zhu Youlang decided to let Zhang Tongchang go to Guizhou, an emergency military situation was reported.

Lu Guangzu, a member of the Chinese army, led an army of 20,000 people, set out from Guangzhou, was marching towards Wuzhou, Guangxi, and was about to arrive in Zhaoqing.

This news made Zhu Youlang panic again, and proposed the idea of ​​​​moving the capital.

After all, Zhaoqing is much closer to Kunming, only two thousand miles away.

At least, closer than Wuhan.

Not only Zhu Youlang panicked, but other ministers also began to panic.

At present, they can count on Zhaoqing and Wuzhou and other places for their money bags.

As far as Yunnan is concerned, there is really not much oil and water.

If Zhaoqing and Wuzhou are lost, the future will be even more difficult.

More importantly, once Wuzhou is lost, the gateway to Guangxi will be opened, and the entire Guangxi will be in danger.

If Guangxi is lost again, then even Yunnan will be in danger.

In short, compared to the Huajun who were still far away in Wuhan, Lu Guangzu's army was a much greater threat to them.

Moreover, there is still He Tengjiao in Wuhan who can fight a dozen times to contain the Hua army.

On the Guangxi side, they don't have any famous generals.

Throughout the dynasty, talent withered.

Zhang Tongchang may still have some ability, but he has just been appointed to Guizhou.

There is also a capable, Qu Shi Si.

However, Baiguan was not very concerned about Qu Shisi.

After all, this guy's hometown is Changshu, he belongs to Jiangnan people, and he has a lot of connections in Jiangnan.

Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites of Dahua, was his teacher.

This relationship made everyone else worry that Qu Shisi would rebel.

After all, they rebelled and joined Dahua, and basically they could not get any benefit. They may have to start from scratch in the future, and they will no longer have any power.

And Qu Shisi is different, he can rely on the merits of his submission, coupled with the operation of Qian Qianyi, coupled with the support of interest groups in the Jiangnan area, he can still be in the Dahua officialdom in the future.

Therefore, when Zhu Youlang expressed his hope that Qu Shisi would go to Wuzhou to preside over the war, other officials objected.

There is no need to suffer from widowhood, but to suffer unevenly. At this time, everyone has to bear hardships together, but no one can be alone.

At this time, they still haven't forgotten the infighting.

Of course, their concerns are not without reason.

He was shy, and he was indeed ready to surrender to Dahua.

The reason is the same as other officials guessed.

Of course, there is another reason that Qu Shisi really despised the appearance of Zhu Youlang's abscess.

If you can't do anything, you will move the capital, if you can't, you will move the capital again. If you don't do anything all day long, you just want to move the capital.

There is no future if you follow such a person, you might as well throw yourself into the embrace of Dahua as soon as possible.

Moreover, Dahua was also a Han regime, and there was no moral burden to surrender.

Now in the Jiangnan area, in the eyes of the common people, Dahua is the orthodox Han court.

Daming, who is in a corner of the peace, is the traitor who disobeys the court in the eyes of the common people.

"Hmph, you don't want me to go to Wuzhou, but you choose a suitable person to come out? Do you dare to guarantee that Wuzhou will not be lost? I dare."

Qu Shisi snorted coldly.

If you want to surrender, you must go to the front line to have a chance.

Therefore, he needs to win the position of Governor of Wuzhou and the right to go to Wuzhou to supervise the war.

When other people heard Qu Shiqi's words, it was not easy to refute it.

The point is, no one has the confidence to go to the front to fight against the Chinese army.

How safe is it to stay in the rear, go to the front line without eyes, and don't know how to die.

"There is no need for all the Aiqings to fight. Since Qu Aiqing has the heart to fight the enemy, then Qu Aiqing will go."

Zhu Youlang said.

He is not only timid, but also has a poor political sense. He has no idea of ​​the risks of his appointment.
