    There is a war going on at the front, and if the rear is really in chaos and military supplies are not available, it will be a dead end. Gu Zhenhua will not be stupid. Long before the Zhongzhou Forum began, An** had established a wartime headquarters.  .  .  Read the latest and most complete novel The president is naturally Gu Zhenhua, the chief committee member is his father-in-law Zhang Jinyan, and the committee members include Li Jibo, Xia Shouli, Xu Fang, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Qianfu and others.  The establishment of this headquarters is actually no different from the cabinet designed by Gu Zhenhua. Unlike the previous cabinets that were mainly composed of Hanlin poets who were familiar with the rules and regulations, most of the officials Gu Zhenhua used were local officials.  They are experienced, more decisive and capable of execution.  Of course, they are all capable people, and it is inevitable to compete with each other. However, Gu Zhenhua also set strict rules and each took charge of his own business. For example, Li Jibo was in charge of military mobilization and war planning, Xia Shouli was in charge of military supplies, Xu Fang was in charge of civil affairs, and Yan Yingyuan was in charge of military affairs.  He and Chen Qianfu are responsible for money and food information, while Zhang Jinyan is in charge of the overall situation. When encountering major issues, several people discuss them together and vote by a show of hands.  Every time they have a meeting and every decision they make, a dedicated person must record it and report it to Gu Zhenhua.  We need to employ people, but we also need to control people, so that everyone can fully demonstrate their talents, while at the same time keeping them firmly under control.  It relies on strict regulations and clear rights and responsibilities.  With a strong administrative team, Gu Zhenhua will not worry about what Zhu Cihong, Fan Keqin and others may cause.  He Tengjiao knew this very well, and he sighed: "Lord Fan, when I presented the answer to His Majesty, His Majesty was not in a good mood, and he even said something about being outside of one's body and living behind one's body, and being behind one's body before others!" "Ah.  !" Zhu Tianlin stared at He Tengjiao as if he was struck by lightning.  He asked in surprise: "He Butang, are you telling the truth?" "Hey, it's such a big deal. How dare I lie!" Zhu Tianlin burst into tears and cried: "It's all because of the incompetence of your Majesty.  I'm wronged!" Fan Keqin sneered: "Everyone, your Majesty wants to take a step back, but the throne is still there. To put it bluntly, there is no one in the Ming Dynasty except Taizu Taizong.  An emperor can act arbitrarily and according to his thoughts! " Fan Keqin directly pointed out Zhu Cixiang's thoughts, which was a shock.  However, this evaluation of Jun's father was obviously a bit excessive. He was almost as good as Huang Zongxi and others. He Tengjiao and others all bowed their heads and remained silent.  Fan Keqin has nothing to fear.  He continued to talk to himself: "Everyone, think about it carefully. Gu Zhenhua is not just restricting the imperial power. In the future, the imperial examination will be reformed, and officials at all levels will be selected from junior officials. We all came from the imperial examination and studied hard for ten years.  I can't even be an official! All dynasties have treated scholars favorably, and those who passed the exam can be exempted from land tax. The imperial court only manages the county, and the lower ones are managed by the gentry. This is a rule that cannot be changed in the slightest. As a disciple of Confucius and Mencius.  . With a great reputation in the world, you should fight hard. You should never be a coward." "The impassioned words can't change the core, which is the privilege of the gentry. They are unwilling to let it go.  Yu Suiran thought for a while and said: "Master Fan's words make sense. Why is the world called the world? It means that there is the emperor above and the gentry below. We uphold the principles of Confucius and Mencius and govern the country. Now that the emperor is gone, the gentry are suppressed. A group of people saw this  A businessman who is unscrupulous and a group of warriors want to steal the power of the world. What is the difference between this and the barbarians? " "Hahahaha, Master Yu, you are too polite. Gu Zhenhua is far more insane than the Tatars!"  As soon as Fan Keqin said these words, everyone present turned pale. No matter how cruel they were to Gu Zhenhua, they did not dare to deny An's military exploits. How could they abandon the distinction between Yi and Xia! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Zhu Tianlin coughed twice and said, "Master Fan, be careful what you say!" "We are just too honest, and we were bullied by the thief Gu Zhenhua! After the Tatar emperor entered the customs, he respected heaven and ancestors, respected Confucius and Mencius, and practiced benevolent government  , opened the imperial examination, used Han officials, and valued the gentry. Although he was a barbarian, he did things in the right way. As for Gu Zhenhua, he emphasized military force and neglected literature, harmed the gentry, snatched land, abolished Confucius and Mencius, and promoted Yang and Zhu.  The world has become a mess. Although he is a Han, he is even more crazy than the Yi Di! " "Shut up!" Fan Keqin continued to speak. Someone finally stood up behind the seat. This man was of medium height.  With a thin face and lightning-like eyes, he is exactly the Qing Qu of Dali Temple!  "Master Fan, these old men all admit that Gu Zhenhua oppresses the Holy Emperor and is domineering. But you say that he is not as good as the Tatars, and you say that the Tatars are practicing kingly ways. What do you mean? Do you want us to be regarded as traitors and surrender to the Tatars?  "Fan Keqin, as the leader of Qingliu, has always scolded others. After experiencing this humiliation, he was so angry that his hair and hair were all bruised, and his face was livid.    "Huh, to Jun Yao and Shun, the way of heaven is constant. Whoever can obey the will of heaven and the will of the people can rule the world. Gu Zhenhua acted wantonly. Shouldn't he be punished by heaven?" Qu Shishu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out.  Suddenly, he pointed at Fan Keqin and said sternly: "Fan, don't forget, today's surname is Zhu, and this is the country of the Ming Dynasty! You actually said that the Tatars are following the king's way and obeying nature and people. I don't think so.  It's up to you, whoever can give you an official position or exempt you from taxes, you will be your minister! What you say about loyalty, filial piety and benevolence is just a lie!" A few words, and I will expose it without mercy!  He revealed Fan Keqin¡¯s face and exposed the entire Qingliu background!  All the officials present were frightened. They were stunned and couldn't say a word!  "Hahaha, hahaha, after listening to Mr. Fan's eloquent remarks, I feel that what Gu Zhenhua did is not wrong! If the cynics are not eliminated, the world will not be peaceful!" After saying this, Qu Shishu turned around and left, seeing through the ugliness under the beautiful packaging.  , more disgusting than anything else, I simply can¡¯t stay there for a moment!  Speaking of which, Lao Qu was absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty and did not agree with Gu Zhenhua's measures.  But they still know their priorities. They can't forget the fundamentals of being a human being just because of the struggle and just say good things for the Tatars. Are they still considered ministers of the Ming Dynasty?  How could a leader of Qingliu say such a thing?  It was really unacceptable, so Qu Shichu walked away.  He Tengjiao ran up to Qu Shiqiu in a few steps and took his hand.  Said: "Master Qu, Master Fan was angry for a moment and said something too much. Who doesn't know that he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, so how can he speak for the Tatars? It's all a misunderstanding!" "Brother He, what you blurt out is often true.  I dare not say that I am a scholar of noble character, but I cannot join the others. I will read the book immediately when I get back, and will no longer interfere with the affairs of the court! Please take care of yourself and leave!"  Walk.  Everyone was left in a daze.  Zhu Tianlin suddenly stood up.  "Master Fan, what Gu Zhenhua did is indeed inappropriate. I still want to remonstrate with you. But now that the war is at hand and the restoration of the old capital is imminent, it's better to slow down!" "Hold on, slow down for what!" Fan Keqin said in a tone  anger.  At this time, they all spilled the beans and said loudly: "If Gu Zhenhua is allowed to fight back to the capital, how can we deal with the overwhelming power? Are we going to be killed at the neck?" Zhu Tianlin knew clearly in his heart that the Ming Dynasty went from the emperor to the emperor.  The people all hope to drive away the Tatars. This is the biggest wish of the people of the Ming Dynasty.  If you continue to make trouble, you will only bring humiliation to yourself.  "Brother Fan is right, I'm leaving!" As soon as Zhu Tianlin left, most of the officials present stood up. They were all frightened by the word "Tatar". If they were really involved, the common people would be able to kill them without Gu Zhenhua taking action.  Tear it up.  Seeing many officials leaving, He Tengjiao stamped his feet fiercely, glanced at Fan Keqin with regret, sighed, turned around and left.  In the end, only Yu Suiran and Fan Keqin were left. They looked at each other with particularly ugly expressions.  "They are all a bunch of hypocrites. They are just afraid of Gu Zhenhua's power!" Yu Suiran nodded and said: "Your Excellency is right. I am willing to follow you to the death for my humble position." "Okay, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I should serve the Ming Dynasty.  Fight to the death, come with me!" Fan Keqin took Yu Suiran to the secret room at the back, and a conspiracy gradually brewed. ?¡­ ?Handan, East Gate.  Since the beginning of the battle, the Tatars have been attacking endlessly, and two full days have passed.  The battles of these two days have probably never been seen by most soldiers. Even the veterans have to admit that compared to the Battle of Northern Henan, this time it was more brutal and the price paid was higher.  Since the beginning of the artillery bombardment, the Tatar offensive has never stopped. Even if Scherfo and other Westerners were killed and the power of the artillery was greatly reduced, the Tatars still did not relax and even became more ferocious.  The never-ending crowds and constant fighting made the soldiers at the top of the city exhausted to the extreme.  Some people had not rested or eaten since the beginning of the battle, and had been struggling for two days. Finally, the Tatar attack weakened slightly, and the civilians in the city ran to the top of the city carrying baskets of steamed buns.  The soldiers did not bother to wash their hands, grabbed the soft white-faced steamed buns, and ate them with big mouthfuls.  Some people have chapped throats and can no longer produce saliva. They choke on steamed buns, cannot go up or down, and roll their eyes.  "Have some porridge!" Li Dingguo handed a bowl of mung bean porridge to a young soldier. He took it gratefully and drank it hard  "It tastes really good, just as delicious as my mother's!" Li Dingguo patted him on the shoulder, then went to see other soldiers, walked around the top of the city, and came to Kang Lesheng.  "Commander Kang, what do you think?" Kang Lesheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Chief of Staff, I think the situation is not good. The number of Tatars is far more than we expected, and their ratio of guns and artillery is not low.  . And I heard that the prince¡¯s main force was also delayed in Daming Mansion, and I¡¯m afraid he will have to fight against the Tatars alone for another three to five days!¡± Li Dingguo nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I just came back from the military hospital, and it¡¯s already full, so I have to.  Hundreds of civilian houses were occupied. In two days, our casualties exceeded 2,000. It¡¯s really not optimistic.¡± Boom!  A cannonball suddenly landed on the top of the city. Li Dingguo and Kang Lesheng were startled. They hurriedly looked up and saw that the cannonball landed close to the city tower. Li Dingguo clearly remembered that he was there just now and gave the soldiers a bowl of mung beans.  Porridge, but the young warrior has disappeared!  "Damn Tatars, brothers, meet the enemy!" The guns rumbled, and the soldiers who had just eaten something quickly went into battle again.  Kang Lexheng and Li Dingguo climbed onto the city wall separately and looked down.  After taking one look, their hearts lifted.  This time there were more Tatar attacks than in the past. As far as the eye could see, there were Tatars everywhere, boundless, like a huge ant colony.  There is no doubt that Dorgon has tried his best. He mobilized 50,000 Mongolian soldiers to join the war. These people are cannon fodder in his hands. He must rely on the advantage of numbers to completely flood Handan!  Go!  Kill!  The cries of killing continued, and An** desperately fired fatal bullets at them, but even if he killed one, two or three quickly followed to make up for it.  Boom, there was a muffled sound of thunder, and several soldiers screamed in pain and fell on the city wall. Their chests were covered with blood. They were seriously injured and it seemed that they would not survive.  "What's wrong?" Kang Lexheng asked angrily.  "Report, report to the regimental commander, the cannon was too hot and exploded!" "Hey!" Kang Lesheng hit the bricks of the city wall in a circle.  "Everyone is a loser. The cannons are for you to kill the enemy, not your own people. Please be clear-headed!" Weapons have their limits after all, and you can't act recklessly. Kang Lesheng has no choice. All the cannons on the city must be temporarily stopped.  Without the suppression of artillery, the Tatars were forced to the city faster and faster.  If you have trypophobia, you will faint just by looking at it. There are too many Tatars.  "Commander Kang, I have a way to kill the enemy!" Li Dingguo suddenly shouted excitedly: "No matter how many Tatars there are, there will be no return!"
