Chapter 599 The Best General
While they were making a decision, at this moment, in the Ming army camp, Xiao Ruxun was entertaining the Jin Wang family who were marching with the army with horse meat captured in the battle.

After all, Zhu Minchun didn't treat himself as a real shrinking tortoise in Qixian County. At Xiao Ruxun's request, Zhu Minchun made a decision to take his family and follow the army together.

Even if the road was a little bumpy, it was better than staying in Qi County and being frightened. Without the protection of this powerful army, he would not feel safe.

In the Battle of Qi County, [-] infantry defeated more than [-] cavalry. Zhu Minchun's blood swelled and his heart beat faster in such a fierce battle. His heart was also greatly impacted.

He finally saw with his own eyes the Ming army that could defeat the large cavalry of the Beilu in a frontal field battle. He was not afraid of the Beilu soldiers or the Beilu generals at all. He felt that he had never met such a general for a long, long time. , or rather, have never seen it.

However, he had witnessed the Battle of Qi County, how the [-] northern captive cavalry were wiped out by the Ming army, and the loss of the Ming army was very small. At that time, he knew that the title of the country's famous general did not come for nothing. , Xiao Ruxun beat the Japanese pirates as hard as he beat the southern barbarians, just as hard as he beat the northern captives!
So he ruled out other opinions from his family, and directly decided to go with Xiao Ruxun and accept his protection, and then witnessed two great victories in Wenshui and Fenzhou. At that time, the northern captive army suffered heavy losses, and they fled again and again. The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they pursued closely, and the situation was very good.

The only fly in the ointment is that the old and weak women and children in my family are not strong enough to drive on the road, and they have experienced too many and too intense battles, as if they were frightened. It is the color of complaining.

However, Zhu Minchun didn't regret it. While comforting his mother's family, he still insisted on joining the army. He firmly believed that this place was the safest place. Sure enough, after more than ten days, the war came to an end.

The last 1 soldiers of the northern captives were besieged in Wenquan Town and could not move. The entire army was about to be annihilated. Daming was about to win, and his days of wandering and wandering were about to come to an end. Regarding this point, Zhu Minchun is Do not want to be happy.

That is to say, the living conditions are a bit harsh, and even his family can only eat fine grains of rice, and very little meat.

Xiao Ruxun himself couldn't eat any meat, but Zhu Minchun could bear it, even though the children at home were clamoring for meat, but with the situation of the war, Zhu Minchun was really embarrassed to ask Xiao Ruxun for meat.

When he was in trouble, the envoy of the imperial court came, and Xiao Ruxun also brought a large plate of horse meat. After inquiring about the news, he found out that the imperial court had appointed Xiao Ruxun as the governor of the four sides, and became the governor of the Ming Dynasty since the establishment of the governor system. No.1 General Governor.

Then Xiao Ruxun fought another small victory, bought hundreds of horses, and made them all into horse meat, some roasted and boiled, and brought them to the family of King Jin to enjoy. Zhu Minchun was very grateful for this.

Seeing the children and women happily eating horse meat, Zhu Minchun smiled slightly, walked out of the tent, and went to the handsome tent to drink and chat with Xiao Ruxun and the court envoy.

Now he is really a well-behaved commander-in-chief. The governors of the four sides, the supreme commander of 10,000+ soldiers and horses, and the governors of the four towns must obey orders.
Even Zhu Minchun couldn't continue to treat Xiao Ruxun casually.

"Xiao Wang will respect Governor Xiao for this glass of wine. Thanks to Governor Xiao's protection, my family can get through this disaster safely. Xiao Wang will always remember this kindness in his heart."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Minchun raised his head and finished the glass of wine.

Xiao Ruxun laughed, raised his wine glass and said, "His Royal Highness Jin was joking, the last general is the general of the imperial court, and it is the last general's duty to protect the clan. The last general has no shirked responsibility. As long as His Highness Jin is safe, the last general has nothing to worry about." It's over, after Lalike is cleaned up, His Highness will be free from the pain of being displaced."

After finishing speaking, drink the wine in the glass.

Zhu Minchun sighed and said: "It's just that I hate the Beilu thieves, who burned down the Jin Palace, and the relics of the ancestors no longer exist. Xiao Wang has no face to face the ancestors!"

After all, Zhu Minchun was in tears.

The little official took a look and said quickly: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang doesn't have to be like this. The fall of Taiyuan was all caused by Wang Shiyang's decision-making mistakes, which means that His Royal Highness Jin Wang is safe and sound. Otherwise, Wang Shiyang's death ten thousand times would not be enough to pay for such crimes." , Jin Wangfu was destroyed, the court will naturally give His Highness a satisfactory explanation, and please His Highness not to be overly sad."

Zhu Minchun wiped away his tears, smiled sadly and said, "Thank you Angel."

Xiao Ruxun watched coldly while eating meat, watching this pair of actors play with each other.

It has to be said that Wang Shiyang made a correct choice. He took all the responsibility for his own crimes and preserved a lot of the remnants of the officialdom in Shanxi Datong. It is so tragic, it is estimated that he will not kill him.

Indeed, under the key blow of the northern captives going south, the officialdom in Datong, Shanxi suffered heavy losses, especially in Taiyuan, where none of the left-behind officials survived, and all died.

Officials in many prefectures and counties north of Taiyuan also suffered heavy casualties, and large households suffered heavy losses. This battle directly brought the status quo of Datong, Shanxi back to 30 years ago.

That is to say, Wang Shiyang was honest, directly accepted his fate, and took the responsibility for his crimes. Otherwise, after this battle, the bloody storm in the court would be inevitable.

But even so, under the current circumstances, it is estimated that there will be a bloodbath in the court for a while, and the power vacuum left after being destroyed by the northern captives needs to be filled, and it depends on whose teeth are quicker.

It's a pity that I have no way to participate in this power struggle. As a military general, I can always become a governor by exception, but it is also a wartime governor, and it cannot be permanent.

But even so, I, who only held this power temporarily, seemed to feel a subtle change.

For example, Zhu Minchun's attitude.

This guy, before that, did not call himself Xiao Wang cautiously, but now he is as obedient as his grandson. Obviously, he has seen his huge prestige and support in the court, and he has seen the power behind this wartime governor. Unusual significance, so a very wise choice was made.

I have to say that everyone is not a fool.
