Chapter 791 The Shaken Deng Zilong
At the same time, on June [-]th, in the capital, the leaders of Shen Yiguan’s government were still arguing over whether the person who was burned to death was Xiao Ruxun. At the same time, the policy of martial law in the capital could no longer be maintained. .

As early as the [-]th day of June, the capital was forced to announce the end of martial law. Because the martial law lasted too long and affected the lives of the people, their daily life was seriously affected.

In order to quell the anger of the people, Shen Yiguan had to compromise and opened the martial law in the capital, but the strict guarding of the city gates was still in place, and people had to go through strict inspections when they entered and exited.

The only good news is that after hearing the news, Chai Guozhu, the chief soldier of Ji Town, and Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, expressed their obedience, expressed their firm support for the decision of the imperial court, and expressed their allegiance to the new emperor without any objection.

They accepted the materials rewarded by the imperial court, accepted the appeasement, and expressed that they would continue to do their duty and be loyal to the imperial court.

Anyway, that's what the people who came back said so.

Coupled with the arrival of a new batch of grain from the south of the Yangtze River, the price of grain in the capital has finally returned to normal. Shen Yiguan's government has initially stabilized the situation near the capital.

But in Shen Yiguan's heart, the mystery of Xiao Ruxun's life and death is still a problem.

He didn't quite believe that the person who was burned to death was really Xiao Ruxun, even if Xu Zuo found the jade pendant, he still had deep doubts.

The four corpses were burnt incompletely, some places were even scorched, but several experienced old foremen found some suspicious points during the autopsy, so Shen always became more suspicious.

Shen Yitong was very worried about the fact that Xiao Ruxun could not be found after four or five days of extensive search. He was not even sure whether Xiao Ruxun was still in the capital, or had escaped from the capital through some secret means.

For this reason, he has already started a search operation around the capital, asked the Jinyiwei to intensify the search, and ordered the major checkpoints around the capital to strictly check the road guides, and ordered officers at all levels to have a portrait of Xiao Ruxun. Let go of one.

But if Xiao Ruxun had already escaped from the capital, it would be the worst situation, although the possibility of this was extremely slim.

Xiao Ruxun still has the basic base of Myanmar, and there are [-] elite Zhennan Army in Myanmar. Although it cannot be called a serious problem, if this army cannot be handled properly, it will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, at this time, the governor of Yunnan is a governor who knows soldiers. He has fought against the barbarians of Dongwu Kingdom many times in the past few years, and his record is not bad. Deng Zilong, who served as the general soldier of Yunnan after the Korean War, is a veteran of many battles. , is also very good.

Together, these two people should have no problem dealing with the barren land of Myanmar.

So after hesitating for a few days, Shen Yiguan took 20 taels of silver from Zhu Changluo's internal funds and sent them to Yunnan to pay for Chen Yongbin's military expenses. Pacify Burma Town.

He didn't know how shocked Chen Yongbin was and how shocked Deng Zilong was when the news of the capital reached Yunnan. The two were completely unprepared for such an emergency.

The new emperor ascended the throne?

Xiao Ruxun rebelled?

Are they going to send troops to conquer Burma Town?

The two have their own ideas in mind.

Chen Yongbin has been in charge of Yunnan for almost six years, and he knows the basics of Yunnan, and he also has a deep understanding of the years of war in Yunnan before Xiao Ruxun led the army to pacify Dongwu Kingdom.

He knew how much damage that nearly ten years of fierce fighting had done to Yunnan. Basically, it could be said that all the essence of Yunnan had been consumed during those ten years.

During those ten years, Yunnan sent troops and money and food. It was not a very rich place, and the loss was huge. After the war, Yunnan was also exhausted. With the order of the imperial court, Yunnan will send troops again?

Where is the money?What about food?What about soldiers?

After Burma was used as a barrier to the south, Chen Yongbin trusted Xiao Ruxun's ability to lead the army, so he did his best to restore Yunnan's economy and people's livelihood, but he did not pay much attention to the military. After Deng Zilong took over as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, Chen Yongbin put the military Give it to Deng Zilong.

It has only been more than a year since Deng Zilong took over the reorganization of military affairs, and he has reorganized seven or eight thousand soldiers capable of fighting, but Xiao Ruxun's Myanmar town has [-] elite soldiers, which were brought out by Xiao Ruxun, who is the most skilled in training and fighting in the Ming Dynasty. Army!

Although you said that Xiao Ruxun was gone and was under the law, if that army resisted desperately, seven or eight thousand people would not be enough, would it?
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Shen Yiguan told the outside world that Xiao Ruxun had subdued the law, and that Chen Yongbin was far south of the colorful clouds. Of course, he didn't know what happened in the capital, so he believed it, but it didn't give him much confidence.

As for Deng Zilong.

Xiao Ruxun, who had worked closely with him before, rebelled?died?Has Myanmar become a rebel town?His family is going to be killed?

What exactly happened here?
The veteran over seventy fell into confusion.

After the messenger left, the two sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was very strange.

"Futai, isn't this incident too sudden?"

Deng Zilong still couldn't accept this fact: "Xiao Zhennan fought for the country for so many years, why did he rebel? Why did His Majesty abdicate? How did the new emperor ascend the throne? It's just an edict and it's over? Nothing else?"

Chen Yongbin had some bad guesses, but in front of Deng Zilong, he couldn't say too much.

"Old general, although I also feel very puzzled about this matter, it is an order from the imperial court after all. It is a formal order with the seal of the state. It is reasonable and legal. If you and I don't do it, it will be disrespectful and disrespectful to others. Let's leave a story, we can't do something like this in this critical time."

Deng Zilong was quite helpless.

"This... this general knows naturally, but the court has to be reasonable, right? There are only orders without explanations, this..."

What else could Chen Yongbin say?

The imperial court was originally unreasonable in handling affairs, and the Great Tomorrow was not achieved by reasoning, it was achieved with one knife and one gun. Whoever has a big fist and a hard wrist, then listen to whoever.

"All in all, we have to do what the court has told us to do. As for how to do it, we can discuss it again. First of all, how many troops can we dispatch now?"

Deng Zilong paused for a while, then said with a worried expression: "The ones that have been prepared and can be dispatched immediately will not exceed ten thousand soldiers at most."

"Not enough, how can 1 people be enough? If you want to attack Burma Town, unless the Zhennan Army is captured without a fight... Yunnan is already exhausted, and it has only been recuperating for three years. It has just seen some improvement, and it will end up fighting again! Sigh!"

Chen Yongbin shook his head: "Old General, if you put it together again, at the very least, you have to gather 5000 people, otherwise you won't be able to do even the most basic deterrence. I will send a document to Burma Town to ask them to disarm and surrender. If they are willing to surrender, they can avoid death and avoid war."

Deng Zilong thought about it and had no choice but to accept it.

Chen Yongbin and Deng Zilong acted separately, but three days later, a new order came, allowing Chen Yongbin to mobilize troops from Sichuan to assist in the attack, ordering Chen Yongbin to send troops to suppress Burma within one month, and allocate 20 yuan for military expenses.

Only then did Chen Yongbin have a bit of confidence, and ordered Liu Ting, the general of Sichuan, to lead [-] Sichuan soldiers to the south to help in the battle.

Now, the two southwestern generals who had dealt with Dongwu Kingdom gathered again, but the attack target this time seemed quite ironic.

Both Liu Ting and Deng Zilong felt panicked in their hearts.

It is not an exaggeration to say that both of them received Xiao Ruxun's care and favor in North Korea. Not only did they gain a lot of military exploits, but Xiao Ruxun was willing to help them speak before the Minister of War, so that they could regain their foothold in the local area after the war as a stain. , get reused.

The two of them always kept this favor in their hearts. When Xiao Ruxun was in Myanmar, he never forgot to send them some gifts during the festivals, and they didn't forget to return the gifts. They basically kept exchanging letters in normal times, and the relationship has always been good.

Liu Ting and Deng Zilong also wanted to send their promising youngsters to the Zhennan Army to practice and learn some real skills, Xiao Ruxun also agreed.

But overnight, the benefactor became a traitor and died, and they were forced to go south to attack Burma Town. What do you make them think?
Not to mention how uncomfortable the two of them were.
