Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 326
Due to his illness in recent years, Zhu Youzhu has indeed lost his previous sensitivity to government affairs.

His astonishment showed that he never thought that those people might support the new emperor.

Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo had been reminded by Qin Shao just now, and they already understood.

"My son, can the governor of Gannan beat King Ning's team? Now the court's attitude is so ambiguous!"

Yuan Zonggao asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Wang Shouren has been suppressing bandits for many years and is very experienced. His ability to put down King Ning's rebellion is nothing to fear. It's just that the situation is a bit complicated this time. It may take a certain period of time to be clean and tidy compared to before."

Wang Shouren's ability is too strong. Although the military power is still restricted, it should not be a problem to put down King Ning.

King Ning was also in a hurry, not because he was fully prepared.

Also, according to the attitude of the people in the cabinet, at present they want to make both the emperor and King Ning suffer, and of course they will not give King Ning too much support.

It's just that when King Ning came to Anqing in the previous life, Wang Shouren was dispatched, but this time King Ning came to Wuhu.

If those thieves and bandits hadn't lost their way in the mountains with Zhu Houzhao, maybe King Ning would fight there, and the emperor would not know if he was alive.

"Compared to before? Governor Wang fought against King Ning?"

Yuan Zonggao was a little confused.

"Um, I mean Wang Shouren was very effective at suppressing bandits before, so King Ning should be no problem."

"But now that King Ning has reached Wuhu, Governor Wang and the others have just assembled their troops. When the time comes to catch up, it is estimated that King Ning has already reached Nanjing!"

Zhang Zuo looked a little worried.

"Don't worry, Wang Shouren will not lead troops to chase after Nanjing to help!"

"If he doesn't lead troops for reinforcements, what will he do?"

Zhu Youzhu questioned.

"Wang Shouren will attack Nanchang!"

"What? Attack Nanchang?"

"Yes, attack King Ning's lair!"

"Is that okay?"

Except for Qin Shao, all three expressed doubts.

……

When Wang Shouren arrived in Ji'an, he immediately joined forces with local officials such as Wu Wending, the prefect of An, to lead the army to serve the king.

Wu Wending, a native of Songzi, Hubei, was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi.

Although he was born as a civil servant, he liked to practice martial arts since he was a child. He has excellent arm strength, is good at horseback riding and archery, and he and Wang Shouren have a close relationship with Wang Shouren in many things.

As soon as Wang Shouren arrived in Ji'an, he welcomed him into the city gate, discussed countermeasures and assembled the team together.

At the beginning, they also thought about going to Wuhu quickly to assist the team there to fight King Ning, but the distance is not too short. Although Wuhu has gathered a lot of nearby garrisons, temporarily dragging King Ning, but if they arrive, It is probably too late!
What can be done is to build momentum and exaggerate the number of teams that the Beijing Army has assembled with them.

It's just that they were discussing whether to rescue or attack Nanchang, King Ning's lair, and there was a dispute.

Wang Shouren and Wu Wending had different opinions. They agreed that they should attack King Ning's lair first and cut off his backup.

Wang Shouren has many years of achievements, Wu Wending is a good talker, and his impassioned speech quickly convinced everyone.

……

"My lord! My lord!"

As soon as Zhu Youzhao got up, Yuan Zonggao rushed in.

"What's the matter? Zong Gao, have you had breakfast? No, eat together."

Zhu Youzhu greeted Yuan Zonggao.

The two have worked together for many years and are basically like family.

"My lord, there is a news report saying that Wang Shouren led an army to attack Nanchang, and they broke through overnight! Your Majesty is really good at predicting things!"

Yuan Zonggao said excitedly.

Regarding the war, they originally discussed not to worry King Xing.

It's just that King Xing already knew the general situation. When they discussed how Wang Shouren would go out the day before yesterday, King Xing was very concerned about this issue. As soon as he got the news, he came to report it, so that King Xing could rest assured.

"Really attacked Nanchang?"

Zhu Youzhu was so surprised that the chopsticks fell directly on the seat, and the internal officer at the side hurriedly helped him pick it up.

"Yes! It's absolutely true, this was predicted by the prince! The prince is really amazing. I didn't expect him to guess what Wang Shouren was thinking all at once. This method is really good. King Ning has accumulated a family business in Nanchang for many years. Some of his belongings are in Nanchang, and now Wang Shouren leads his troops to directly occupy his lair. Even if he arrives in Nanjing, he is still a poor man. If he wants to continue fighting, it will be really difficult, and Nanchang still has his direct descendants, all of whom are surrounded by Wang Shouren and others. Controlled, Zhu Gongxi has also been captured!"

Yuan Zonggao said excitedly.

"I really expected it! I really expected it!"

Zhu Youzhao said it twice excitedly.

"Yes, my lord, the son is really all-rounder! Moreover, the son said that the gang in the court cabinet will not send troops, and at most they will issue a document of surrender. It is also as the son speculated. The court issued a document of surrender, saying that as long as King Ning voluntarily surrenders , the crime will be mitigated! These are all guessed by the prince!"

"Zong Gao, I'm really old, old! I should really listen to Xi'er, sending troops to rescue the emperor earlier exposed the strength of our Xing Palace, it was indeed too hasty, and caused trouble for Xi'er, hey!"

Zhu Youzhao remembered his previous insistence, not to mention that his guards now fall under Zhu Houzhao's name, and Zhu Houzhao might be suspicious of him in the future.

I'm getting old, not to mention how many years I can live, Xi'er's life will probably be difficult in the future!
"My lord, if the son is so capable, things will always be resolved. My lord, I'm not exaggerating. I'll tell you that since the son came back, I found that no matter what it is, as long as the son ordered us to do it with confidence Son! And now we are helping the emperor, if he still kills the donkey, such an emperor..."

Yuan Zonggao still wanted to say something, but felt that it was not appropriate, so he could only keep silent.

……

Wang Shouren did capture Nanchang City in one day.

The former life where Qin Shao lived in the South Great Wall house was not considered big, but it was not considered small in this ancient Ming Dynasty. A provincial capital city with a circumference of 7 kilometers was breached in a day, which is indeed a bit vulnerable.

In the final analysis, although King Ning is superficially enfeoffing the land and respecting the corporals, he seems to be very kind to the people.

But in order to expand his strength, he did not hesitate to seize the properties of some wealthy households, and those people had long been dissatisfied with him.

Who is Wang Shouren?That is the person who knows the "skills of mind" best. He directly publicized that the imperial army has rehabilitated more than 20 people. If the people in the city can join the rebel army together, the past will be forgotten and they can make meritorious service to atone for their sins.

Meritorious atonement is not only for ordinary people, but also for members of the royal family.

In fact, some members of the royal family did not seem to be involved in Zhu Chenhao’s rebellion. In fact, the side branch of King Ning’s lineage is actually not small. Many side branches are far away from King Ning, and life is not very good, and King Ning’s mansion does not treat them too much care.

In the end, he rebelled, and even implicated them. Those people have long been dissatisfied. Now that they have the opportunity to atone for their sins and get rid of their ties, they naturally actively help open the city gate.

In addition, Wang Shouren is very good at using the army. For the soldiers participating in the exhibition, he directly entertains the soldiers with good wine and meat, and distributes the rewards and silver in a timely manner.

……

Wuhu.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Report online!"

Zhu Chenhao, who proclaimed himself emperor, was sitting in the big tent with a solemn expression.

"What tip? Tell me!"

Zhu Chenhao asked directly.

He couldn't attack Wuhu in the past few days, and he was already a little anxious.

Although Li Shishi persuaded Wuhu to only come to support the nearby garrison, with their strength, they will definitely be able to capture it in two days, and then go straight to Beijing.

"Your Majesty, Nanchang Mansion has been breached!"

"what!"

Zhu Chenhao stood up from the chair all of a sudden.
