Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 252 - 250

The light of dawn suddenly appeared, and it shone on the front door building, and it also shone on Zhen Wu's body.

After Zhen Wu listened to Cao Xiaoman's report on the situation in the city, he turned over and got up from the ground.

He walked to the gate tower, stood quietly and looked at the sky, watching the light piercing the night, slowly devouring the darkness to nourish himself, and suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to what they were doing.

Soon.

Zhang Wu also came over.

Zhen Wu glanced sideways at Zhang Wu and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Zhang Wu grinned and nodded, but the smile was a bit cruel: "It's clean, Ni Liang's family has not been left alive, I finally got rid of this bad breath."

Zhen Wu nodded. Last night, he asked Zhang Wu to take 50 people to Ni Liang's house to silence them. The hatred between the two of them could not be resolved. Even if he didn't want to do some things, he still had to do them for the safety of his family.

For a person like him who pays attention to his family, his fate is too obvious. He can only try his best to deal with it directly after making a deadly enemy.

"By the way, don't tell Er Xian about these things. She doesn't look like a northern girl at all, and she doesn't know what bad manners she learned from my mother. She is not as straightforward as Xiao Liu. If she knows, she may be able to tell. How can you embarrass yourself, maybe just blindly take responsibility on yourself, and think blindly because she will only increase the murder, huh, what a shitty brain."

Zhen Wu's tone was very bad.

Zhang Wu was a little displeased when he heard that. If someone said that about his wife, he would be anxious, but when Zhen Wu said his sister, he seemed to have no reason to refute, so he nodded honestly and said: "I know, she is still big now. , These things will definitely not be told to her."

Zhen Wu glanced sideways at Zhang Wu, snorted and said mockingly: "You know? When did the Er Xian give you a glance before, and you just talked about everything? Just talk about the last time I came back from Yingtian Mansion , can you tell your family about things like messing with Lan Yu?"

Zhang Wu blushed, and wanted to argue, but he couldn't find the confidence to argue.

Zhen Wu said angrily: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk about you. If you can't let Erxian know in the future, don't tell her, just tell me what I said, and let her ask me if you want to know."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu looked at the sky and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I will leave this place to you to guard, and I will go to the palace."

"Yes." Zhang Wu took the order.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu took Cao Xiaoman and the others down the tower and headed towards the palace. It was just dawn and there was no one on the street, but not many people really fell asleep tonight.

Zhen Wu didn't care about these things. When he arrived at Yan Wang's mansion, he found that many outsiders had come to Yan Wang's mansion. Zhen Wu found a circle and saw that Zhu Gaochi was still free, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Where is Your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled, as if he was as gentle as ever, he pointed to the main hall, and said kindly in Zhen Wu's ear: "Father is busy making friends with them in the hall, trying to get close, I'm afraid those people were scared last night .”

Zhen Wu immediately understood that now that the King of Yan has occupied Beiping City, some officials in the city must stand in line, otherwise they would be the first ones to be purged. It is to be made into a monolith.

"The action is fast enough." Zhen Wu muttered, but he also understood that the news must not be hidden from the dismissal of so many soldiers last night, Zhen Wu suddenly became interested, and asked curiously: "Who are they?" ?”

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the main hall, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "The chief secretary is counseling Guo Zi, the deputy envoy of the procuratorate is Mo Lin, the commander of the capital is Li Jun, Chen Gong, and some commanders of the guards." After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi was still smiling. Yingying raised his eyebrows at Zhen Wu, expressing how excited he was when these people came.

Zhen Wu was a little speechless when he heard that.

Good guy.

The three divisions of Peking are here.

Zhu Di's influence is really terrifying. If these people insist on going against Zhu Di like iron heads, it will be really troublesome for them to integrate Beiping City.

But now, apart from occupying the nine gates, they also occupy the Ordnance Department and several large granaries. Although these places are also the most important places, Guo Zi and the others came to visit Zhu Di overnight, which shows their sense of Zhu Di. Among them, I have to say that Zhu Di's 20 years in Peiping were not in vain.

His own one-acre three-point land, the imperial court's orders, except for those who came from the imperial court, really didn't work well for other people.

There was also a smile on Zhen Wu's face. All in all, this was good news. With the cooperation of these people, the integration speed of Beiping City would be greatly improved, and what they lack now is time.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked Zhen Wu: "Where is the second brother? Why didn't the second brother come back with you."

Zhen Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "You still don't know him? After the war in our southern city was settled, he went to other places excitedly. I guess he doesn't know who he is bragging with now."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, with a little envy in his eyes, but also with some inexplicable meaning, he suddenly returned to God and said: "By the way, brother-in-law, I just learned from Master Daoyan today that my nephew also wants to worship Master Daoyan." As a teacher?"

"That's the case, what's the matter?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed brightly and said: "This is a good thing. I was worried that Zhanji would be bored by himself, so the two brothers can be companions, and they just happen to be so close."

Ok?
Zhen Wu frowned indistinctly: "Zhan Ji also wants to worship Dao Yan as his teacher?"

"That's right, brother-in-law, haven't you heard about Master Daoyan?"

Zhen Wu shook his head, he really didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't have agreed to Dao Yan that day, and at the same time he couldn't help wondering whether it was Dao Yan's attention or Zhu Gaochi's attention.

These people have eight hundred minds.

They all belong to the kind of masters who have dates and whether they can hit a few shots. His son and Zhu Zhanji are mixed together.

What the hell is this.

It's okay if it's an accident, but if it's calculated by someone, then it's too damn bad.

But Zhen Wu wanted to think about it, but his face remained calm, and he smiled instead: "Then this is a good thing, the two brothers learn skills from the monk, not boring or talking, and can support each other."

After hearing Zhen Wu's words, Zhu Gaochi nodded happily, and then asked in a blink of an eye, "By the way, is the little nephew going to have a name?"

"No, I've been busy recently, so I didn't have time. I just listened to your sister and decided on a nickname of March. You said it was called March, but it sounded a bit girlish. I don't know what your sister is thinking."

Zhu Gaochi laughed. He knew that Zhen Wu was not really complaining about Zhu Yuying, but just complaining casually. After all, no one in Beiping knows that the two of them are singing in harmony, which is a typical good thing achieved by mutual affection.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and then went away to get busy. Zhen Wu also began to cooperate, and went to the barracks with other generals to rectify and select the seven guards and horses to reorganize the army.

……

Three days later.

In just three days, Zhen Wu and others had firmly controlled Beiping. The 3 soldiers and horses of the capital, after joining thousands of guards and garrison troops, were screened and reorganized, and only 3 people remained. The people in the guard army were placed among the [-] people as middle and high-level generals to ensure that the entire army obeyed the command.

And all the soldiers and civilians in Beiping City also learned of the recent events in the notice to the soldiers and civilians posted in the whole city by Yan Wangfu.

There are treacherous officials in the imperial court who bewitched the emperor and harmed the emperor's relatives. The head of the current kings, King Yan, according to the Taizu Emperor's "Ancestral Instructions", said that the prince ruled the army and commanded him, intending to eradicate evil and restore the court. Feng Tianjing is difficult.

After all the soldiers and civilians in Beiping understood it, most of them gave an oh, expressing their support, and each of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder that several princes were killed by the emperor. It turned out that there were traitors.

Then we can't sit idly by.

Even many soldiers and civilians in Beiping said proudly, "Although our Beiping is far away from the capital, we can't pretend that our Beiping doesn't exist. It's impossible to mess around. You must know that our Beiping has King Yan, so we won't spare those people." traitor. '

Ordinary soldiers and civilians are so cute sometimes, if you give them a just reason, they will never turn back.

And this war, which was said to be Jingnan, but was actually a rebellion, also kicked off at this time.

Once this war starts, only one of Zhu Di and Zhu Yunqi will remain. No matter what Zhu Di's real thoughts are, the essence of rebellion is firmly fixed at this moment and cannot be changed.

During these three days, Zhen Wu also went home twice, and the family members also saw the letter of informing the army and the people, but Zhu Yuying was born in the palace, and she knew the nature of the struggle for imperial power, so she immediately guessed that her father and the man were together. the way of rebellion.

When Zhen Wu saw this, he didn't hide it from Zhu Yuying, but when he told Zhu Yuying, he wanted to comfort Zhu Yuying, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuying was very strong, and maybe he also had some Zhu Di's perseverance in his bones.

Zhu Yuying immediately took over everything in the family without saying anything, and told Zhen Wu not to worry about the family, and took the initiative to share Zhen Wu's worries about the family, so that Zhen Wu could devote himself to the business.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Wu sighed again and again, this is a good wife, not only won't make trouble for no reason, but also knows how to help her husband at critical moments.

On the other hand, after Zhang Yuqing heard about this, she went out of her way to ask Zhen Wu to give her a good advice, but the advice was a little funny, she asked Zhen Wu to help King Yan fight well, and said that King Yan's nephew and we were also a family, and he was arrested People have deceived us, we can't sit idly by, we have to do our best, otherwise we will be sorry for King Yan's care for our family.

What Zhang Yuqing said was very righteous and naive.

In other words, sometimes justice equals innocence.

Zhen Wu smiled and said yes, and patted his chest to promise that for the sake of the emperor, he would definitely beat them with all his strength.

As he was talking, Zhen Wu couldn't help but want to laugh even more, and finally couldn't hold back any more, he quickly talked to Zhang Yuqing, and went out to the Yan Palace.

Zhang Yuqing was very dissatisfied with Zhen Wu's attitude, and chattered with Zhu Yuying, saying that Zhen Wu didn't take this seriously, and asked Zhu Yuying to talk about Zhen Wu later, don't feel embarrassed, her natal family's business is ours About the Zhen family.

Zhu Yuying also found it funny, but Zhu Yuying wouldn't explain it to Zhang Yuqing in detail, she just coaxed Zhang Yuqing carefully.

And after Zhen Wu got away from the family affairs, he began to prepare for the next battle with all his heart.

On the third day after the Battle of the Nine Gates, after the integration of soldiers and horses was completed, a group of generals discussed their next actions in Yanwang Mansion. They gathered around a huge map of the capital of Beiping, each offering their opinions.

After Dao Yan summed up everyone's opinions, he proposed a general strategy.

"Now we must occupy the four positions as soon as possible, or any one of them may threaten our Beiping City." After speaking, Dao Yan walked to the map, clicked on the map, and said the name of the place.

"The first one is Juyongguan, which is the throat of Beiping. After he fled from Xizhimen, he was stationed in Juyongguan. Song Zhong of Kaiping brought more than 3 soldiers and horses to take advantage of our unstable foothold to take back Beiping, but heard that After we have firmly controlled it, we will retreat to Huailai. Once a large number of soldiers and horses from the imperial court attack, Song Zhong can go straight to Juyongguan and come to our city of Beiping. Therefore, Juyongguan must be in our hands, and Song Zhong must be defeated. No worries."

"The second one is still in the north, Gubeikou of Miyun, where Daning is connected to the east. If you take this place, you can prevent Daning from advancing, and you can also connect with Juyong Pass. Only with these two passes in hand can the north dare to say There is no longer any worry of military disturbance, and these two passes are steep, so it is advisable to take them urgently, otherwise they will be defended by additional troops, and it will be difficult to conquer them."

"The third is not one, but a route, from Beiping to the east, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Yongping, let's talk about Jizhou first. According to reports, Ma Xuan called his troops to garrison in Jizhou after the defeat of Chongwenmen. , this person looked down upon us in Beiping and had to be killed, and to take Jizhou, he had to go east two ways, all the way from Zunhua to Songting Pass, and all the way from Yongping to Shanhaiguan. The north of Songting Pass is Daning, once Daning When approaching Beiping, Songting Pass must be the first route of march. As for Shanhaiguan Pass, there is no need to say much about it. Liaodong is connected to the north, and soldiers from Liaodong must pass Shanhaiguan Pass when they enter Beiping. What's more, Geng Xuan is in Shanhaiguan Pass, so how important are these two places? Don't stress it."

"The fourth can be delayed, but it needs to be taken as soon as possible to prevent the imperial army from advancing. That is Zhuozhou and Xiongcheng. With these two cities in hand, we will have enough time to maneuver and buffer strategically."

After finishing speaking, Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di and said, "After the imperial court got the news, they can mobilize the army to Zhending within [-] days, so we need to take all these places within [-] days, so we need to divide our troops to attack, and We only have [-] soldiers now, and we still need to keep [-] to defend Beiping, how to distribute the remaining [-] soldiers, and where to attack them, His Highness still needs to decide."

Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

All the generals also frowned, 5000 troops were divided into four places, with an average of more than [-] along the way.

More than 5000, playing chicken feathers.

Not to mention anything else, how did five thousand attack Juyongguan, how did they attack Songzhong's 3 people, and how did they fight all the way from Tongzhou to Zunhua and Yongping.

Zhang Yu said in embarrassment: "Master, among the soldiers and horses defending the city, can we squeeze out some more? There are indeed fewer soldiers and horses."

Dao Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "At most we can squeeze out 2000 people."

two thousand? !
Well, talk is better than nothing.

Zhu Di is a veteran in the army, so he immediately figured out that this is not going to work. He shook his head and said: "This soldier cannot be divided evenly. On the line between Juyongguan and Jizhou, more than 5000 people will definitely not be able to fight. It takes at least 1 people to fight Song Zhong. It takes at least 8000 people to enter Jizhou."

These two routes cost [-], so there are only [-] left.

Six thousand is divided into two routes, what else is there to play?

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Zhen Wu frowned and stood up: "Well, give me 2000 people, and I will fight Gubeikou in Miyun, but I only need cavalry."

Zhu Di said with joy on his face, "Two thousand? Are you sure?"

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Two thousand cavalry can pretend to be eight thousand cavalry, and the commander of Miyunwei has a good relationship with me, and he used to respect His Highness, so maybe he can directly recruit and surrender without fighting. In addition, I want another cavalry The reason is that as long as I take Miyun quickly, I can go from Miyun Rao Yongning directly to the outside of Juyong Pass. In this way, under the joint attack of the soldiers and horses inside and outside the pass, I will not be able to defend Juyong Pass. At that time, we will be able to directly destroy Song Dynasty Loyalty, this way we can ensure the stability of the north first."

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, which was a good idea.

Zhu Di knew the terrain around Beiping like the palm of his hand. According to his thinking, attacking Miyun with 2000 people was a bit unlikely, but if Zhen Wu led 2000 people to attack Miyun, it might really be possible.

At least if Zhen Wu leads two thousand cavalry, there are not tens of thousands of cavalry, and no one can stop Zhen Wu.

This is the benefit of being brave.

With few soldiers and strong generals, this can make up for the lack of troops. Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly turned his attention to Zhu Neng. Zhen Wu gave him a reminder that if he can fight, he will increase his burden.

When Zhu Neng saw Zhu Di coming over, he immediately understood in his heart: "Your Highness, I would like to lead 4000 people all the way south to take Xiongcheng."

"it is good."

This time, Zhu Di ordered: "Zhang Yu, you have always been prudent and resourceful. I will give you 1 people, and you will take down Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, and Yongping."

Ten thousand? !

Zhang Yu was taken aback, wasn't it [-], but in an instant he realized that Zhu Di must have wanted to take [-] to fight Juyongguan. This was because he was afraid that he would have few soldiers, so he specially gave him [-] from Zhu Di's own soldiers. In case of accidents.

But in this case, Juyongguan and Song Zhong behind became the most difficult to fight.

Zhang Yu tentatively said: "Your Highness, why don't I take Eight Thousand to fight against Juyongguan?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said firmly, "No, I'll go in person."

Seeing this, the generals stopped talking. If Zhu Di didn't have this kind of self-confidence, he wouldn't have won many battles these years. It's just that they were a little worried about Zhu Di, but Zhu Di was very satisfied with such an assignment.

The most convenient forward general he uses is Zhen Wu. Once he can't attack Juyongguan, he will call Zhen Wu back from Miyun. Besides, maybe Zhen Wu will take down Miyun soon. Once they join forces, let alone Song Zhong. 3 people, 5 people, he is also sure to break it.

Song Zhong, Song Zhong, hum, this name is doomed.

"Okay, that's it, let's go back to rest and prepare. Tomorrow, after the discussion in the hall, we will go directly to the outside of the city to take the oath." Zhu Di said.

All the generals bowed down and said yes, and retreated one by one. At the same time, everyone began to think about how to fight the next battle.

……

On the second day, Zhen Wu and others first went to the main hall of King Yan's Mansion to discuss matters. Zhu Di sat on the throne and promulgated his decrees to all the civil and military officials in Beiping City.

In the name of Zhu Qitai and Huang Zicheng, the year of Jianwen was removed, and it was still called Hongwu 32 years, and he began to pretend to be an official, promoted Zhenwu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu as the commanders, and promoted Li Youzhi as Chief Secretary Counseling, worshiping Jin Zhong as Ji Shan.

Zhu Di was a little obsessed with this feeling of not having to care about the court and making decisions on his own.

Zhen Wu was also very pleased. After saying it, he was also in command. Although it was only a letter difference from Commander Wei, there was a big difference in it.

And the rest of the guards also rose. Tan Yuan and Wang Zhen were promoted to guard commanders, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu were promoted to a thousand households, and even the third child was promoted to a hundred households because of beheading the guard of Qihua Gate.

And obviously, these people will jump up like a rocket in a very short time, because there is still a lot of official positions between Zhen Wu, the commander of the capital, and them.

This is also the reason for the lack of soldiers. When there are more soldiers, not to mention Zhang Wu and others, Zhen Wu probably will go up a bit.

Killing and setting fire to a gold belt, if you want to be promoted, there is really nothing better than rebellion.

In the blink of an eye, Zhen Wu jumped from Commander Wei to Commander Du. If this was a normal promotion, it would be enough for Zhen Wu to survive for more than ten years.

Next, Zhu Di ordered that Guo Zi, the former chief secretary, lead Guantong, Tang Yun, and Xie Li to guard Beiping, while the army marched in four directions.

And without further ado, after the meeting was over, Zhu Di led the generals to the outside of the city.

A high platform has already been set up outside the city.

Zhu Di and the others climbed onto the high platform and looked at the neatly arranged soldiers and the flags fluttering in the wind. They were quite touched. In the past, they went out for the imperial court and Ming Dynasty, but now they are for themselves.

Zhu Di took a deep breath to calm down his heart, and then his voice began to echo in the world.

"My emperor's examination of Taizu Gao, Emperor Gao, started from the very beginning. After many hardships and hardships, he established the world and achieved the emperor's career. His old man wanted to pass it on forever, so he divided up the princes and vassals to consolidate the clan. Tai and Huang Zicheng harbored evil intentions and harmed our clan. King Zhou, King Xiang, King Qi, King Dai, and King Min were all taken away in less than a year. When there is such a tragic event in the world, everyone who hears it will beat their chests and stamp their feet with great grief and indignation."

"Now, the elder of the surviving son of my great ancestor, King Zhu Di of Yan, has been guarding Peiping for 20 years. , forcing me to suffer from the cold and suffering, and falsely accusing me of trying to rebel, intending to take my life in Peiping, what a boldness, what a treacherous minister, and what I miss is that Emperor Xiaokang and I have the same father and mother , wait for your Majesty to abide by the way of being a minister like the Taizu, and die calmly."

"However, I thought about it in a blink of an eye. If you want to cut down a big tree, you should cut off the branches first. If the vassal of your relatives perishes, the court will be isolated and helpless. This is not in line with the wishes of treacherous ministers. Wouldn't the country be in danger under such treacherous ministers? How can I ignore the current Majesty and let him stay by the side of wolves, tigers and leopards, helpless?! And "Ancestral Instructions" Emperor Gao said: "There are no ministers in the court, and there are traitors in the court, and they must be punished by soldiers." I want to ask for the evil from the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.” Therefore, I have to raise troops, and I have to lead you to help the Ming Dynasty get rid of those treacherous officials and return the emperor to a safe place. That's what a loyal man should do."

"Today, I, Zhu Di, ask all the soldiers, are you willing to follow my Qing Dynasty and get rid of traitors?" Zhu Di roared out the last sentence.

I don't know who yelled first: "On the side of the Qing emperor, get rid of treacherous sycophants."

All the soldiers in the audience shouted.

The momentum is surging, breaking through the sky.

a long time.

After his voice weakened, Zhu Di suppressed his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, when the matter is over, the names of your loyalty and bravery will be recited by the people of the world through the ages, and I, Zhu Di, will not treat you badly. In order to reward silver and have a bright future, all the soldiers need to fight bravely to win glory and wealth."

"Now, all armies set off!"

Follow Zhu Di's order.

Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, and Zhu Neng each led their men down the high platform, came to the front of their own soldiers and horses, and started to move with them.

More than 2 troops rushed to the four directions one after another in an orderly manner, trying to build a safe base camp, and all the soldiers were also filled with excitement from Zhu Di's sip of chicken soup, thinking about how to fight hard so as to create prosperity and wealth.

And just as Zhen Wu and the others were leaving.

The news that Zhu Dijing was unable to swear as a master spread to various places in Ming Dynasty, such as King Ning in Daning, King Liao in Liaodong, King Zhou who was demoted to Yunnan, etc., including Zhu Yunqi in the capital, and all the courtiers in the capital.

Those who heard about this seemed to be shocked by Zhu Di.

They all exclaimed at the same time: "Zhu Di, how dare he!!"

……

　That’s all for today, I’ll also take a break to adjust and adjust, but 6600 words is not too short, um~ it shouldn’t be counted.

　　In addition, thanks to 'Ziyunqi' 10000, 'Baiyunlong 1234' 1500, 'I have no deposit' 500, and 'extraordinary patience', thanks to the four bosses, thank you very much.

　　Finally, it seems that the Internet has been cleaned up recently, and no comments can be seen.
