my days with tyrants

Beijing.

"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"

The little princess sat on her carriage and said angrily as she watched the soldiers mobilized outside.

Sapphire has already begun to attack Kaifeng.

But the situation is not optimistic...

His heavy artillery has not yet been transported, and this kind of thing must rely on water transportation.

But now the waterway of the Yellow River to the north of Huai'an is still frozen. Even if you go to the Huaihe River, the several rivers to the north are also frozen. Kaifeng city.However, Kaifeng City, as the capital of Henan Province, has a bunch of artillery of various types on the city wall. As for various materials, it is enough to last for a year or two. After the failure of the storm, it has turned into a siege.

Then the two sides fought.

As for digging tunnels and blasting, this is meaningless to the warring parties who are familiar with each other.

Even a real siege is impossible, because the cavalry of the defenders in the city are stronger.

In fact, Zhu Di's cavalry went out of the city to raid the imperial army many times. The latter lost more than they won. Apart from the fact that these cavalry came back from the Western Expedition and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, the more important point was that the morale of the imperial army was not high.

Some generals even released water.

Definitely.

After all, even the emperor himself did not say that his uncles were rebels.

this point is very important.

This is the family matter of the Zhu family, no matter what it is, it is the matter of the uncles and nephews. If it is clear that they are rebellious, then these generals can fight without distractions.But now the emperor has not decreed that they rebelled, so if one of them is killed, it is hard to say what will happen to these generals, and the possibility of being convicted is not without possibility.

And Zhu Di himself is extremely feared by the army.

Many of them are still from his old department.

In recent years, he has conquered Mongolia, Jurchen, and Wa country, all of which have assembled troops from various places.

For example, in the conquest of Japan back then, many Shandong capitals participated in the war, and there were also many in the capital. He didn't want to fight against these people, and it's a time when the nature is unknown.

Be smart!
As for Lan Yu, it's useless.

One is that he doesn’t have those adopted sons now, so things are not so smooth after all. The other is that he has been retired for many years, and the military technology of Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day. In less than seven years, he has evolved from a fire door gun to a small number of flintlock guns, and from a Hongwu cannon. Arrived at Hongyi Cannon.

The seven-year technology spans 250 years, and his old age is not suitable for new tactics.

For example, when the cavalry attacked, he obviously lacked knowledge of Camel City.

His old-style cavalry couldn't break Zhang Fu's camel city tactics at all.

Similarly, he also needs a process of adaptation to the power of the new weapons, because he has never faced a battle with these weapons, and he was even close to the battlefield when he was observing the battlefield, and he was almost beheaded by the shells of the field artillery.Although his incomparably rich combat experience allowed him to learn new forms of combat in the shortest possible time, after all, he was no match for those who had been training and fighting with these new weapons all year round.Why does Zhang Fu play Tuocheng the best? He has been taught by Yang Feng since the 25th year of Hongwu, and now it is the first year of Chengguang or the 32nd year of Hongwu. He has been playing for almost seven years.

There were countless battles during this period.

Not to mention that the Western Expedition penetrated the entire Mobei grassland and then hit the river.

Old-fashioned cavalry tactics, Sapphire is at the level of his ancestors.

For the new cavalry tactics, Sapphire is at most at the level of his disciple.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves will eventually die on the beach.

Not to mention Zhang Fu, even people like Guo Yong from the Shenji Battalion, who used to be considered inferior to his subordinates, are much better than him in the use of new tactics, especially the use of artillery. The sapphire is more of a sign in the army.

But he can't beat Kaifeng, and the surrounding situation is constantly changing.

King Jin's guards went south from Shuofang, and with the cooperation of Dai Wang's guards, they quickly controlled Datong, and then joined forces with King Gu of Xuanfu. The entire Monan.In the south, the Zhu Gaochi brothers controlled Beiping, and the five families still formed a coalition and had the ability to go south. As for the imperial guards in these places, because the main force did not come back from the Western Regions, the remaining ones did not want to fight, so they are basically Yingcheng. Stick to it.Anyway, the generals don't participate in the actions of the kings' guards, but they don't interfere. After all, everyone is relatives and friends, and there is really no need to get involved when the situation is unclear.

The latter, of course, will not attack them.

Business trips in various places are normal, and local officials follow suit, that is, the guards of the vassal king act without imperial decree.

But the local guards did not intercept them either.

Originally, Guo Ying and Xu Huizu, Hou and Yigong suppressed the north, but Guo Ying was imprisoned, Xu Huizu went south to Shaanxi to suppress the Qin Fan, and the remaining troops in Shanxi could only stick to it.

Or self-preservation.

Military households in Shanxi were originally different.

This was once a war with the imperial court. For these military households, as long as there is no order from Yang Feng or Yang Feng's women, everyone can maintain this state of self-protection.

And you can get rich.

For example, selling armor, weapons and ammunition to various armies, including guards.

Great opportunity!

Anyway, even if the kings of Xuanda go south, it is impossible to go to Shanxi, and the imperial army goes north, this is even more impossible. After all, Kaifeng must be conquered first, so just watch.Xu Huizu went to Xi'an, but he couldn't order the attack on Prince Qin's Mansion, this must be done with an imperial decree, the only thing he can do is to ensure that Zhou Suqing's three kings' guards will not enter Guanzhong.But he was unable to go to Longyou, and the generals of the guards there also protected themselves. Fortunately, the guards of the three kings did not venture east.

They are waiting.

Wait for Zhu Di to make up his mind.

Once Zhu Di made up his mind, he could send someone to summon servants to the Western Regions.

Instead, the Liao king's guards were stared at by Yang Wen's army in Guangning.

The king of Liao himself only joined the coalition in Kaifeng with two thousand guards. His combat effectiveness of these two thousand was second only to Zhu Di's three thousand. Go out to harass, because Sapphire's siege can't actually be surrounded, they even bypassed it with their speed, and then ran to attack Sapphire's logistics line.

As for the king of Chu, he still blocked the Yangtze River.

Li Jinglong, who was reactivated, took Chen Xuan and other troops to march westward with a navy, and then attacked Wuchang.

But it didn't open.

The Wuchang army and people worked together and united under the King of Chu to fight against the imperial court. After all, because of Liu Sanwu's death, Huguang gentry was hostile to Zhu Yunxie, although he died in the imperial prison, and it was Yang Feng who caused the trouble.

But Yang Feng is Zhu Yunxi's dog-headed military advisor.

Song Zhong is Zhu Yunxi's minion.

So it is obvious that Zhu Yunxi and Yang Feng planned to kill Liu Sanwu, Zhu Yunqi, the teacher and the most important adviser. Now that the King of Chu is doing something, the Wuchang gentry of course fully supports it, and even the gentry in other places in Huguang are also shouting for the King of Chu. Buy the chieftain to make troubles, and restrain the guards in various places in Huguang.

Among all the vassal kings, only the foolish King Qi did not move, and the other King Shu came to Beijing.

"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"

The little princess said bitterly again.

"How about we use a newspaper to disclose that the master is in Huining?"

Chun Ji said.

"What's the use of making it public? Now that it's all going on like this, who will listen to him when he comes out to speak? Besides, if he can make the fourth brother and others stop fighting, wouldn't he be more effective than the emperor's words? What do you make the emperor think?"

said the little princess.

She is no longer a child.

She is well aware of Yang Feng's awkward position in Daming.

Although Zhu Yunxie had a good relationship with Yang Feng, that was before he became emperor, and he needed Yang Feng's support, but now that he has become emperor, he might not like someone who is actually more effective than the emperor's words.The relationship between Yang Feng and her father can be said to be well known in the world. No emperor would like such an existence in his own country. If Yang Feng can stop the kings, then he will make Zhu Yunxi more vigilant.

It won't go well.

Besides, it's all like this, and there is no way for the kings to retreat.

"Look, whoever wins, won't touch us in the end."

she continued.

Indeed, whoever wins will not touch them.

The carriage continued to move forward, when a few little girls ran over...

"Ma'am, Si Niang."

They came together to salute beside the carriage.

These are all Yang Feng's adoptive daughters. His first batch of adoptive daughters have all grown up and basically married Yang Feng's employees, many of whom are in the capital. Buy from outside, such as North Korea Waguo or even chieftains, even the orphans of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, on Wutai Mountain, the number of these underage righteous women has always been maintained at two to three thousand.

They all call Yang Feng Dad.

Then the little princess and others are of course mothers. Although strictly speaking, Yang Feng's concubines are only Chun Ji and Lu Nu, but don't worry about such trivial matters.

The little princess is the aunt, the second mother of Zhang Ying, the third mother of the green slave, the fourth mother of Chunji, and Gu Lina should be the fifth mother, but she has never been ignored.

"What's the matter?"

Chun Ji said.

"Si Niang, we were playing outside just now, and we met someone, it seems to be that Fang Xiaoru."

Said a righteous girl.

"Fang Xiaoru, didn't he run away with Yun Yun? Didn't you admit your mistake?"

The little princess immediately leaned forward.

"Mother Hui, when he was in the capital, we often played with a woman from his family, and we went to his house a few times. We should be right. He even reprimanded us, saying that we don't understand etiquette."

Said another righteous woman.

The little princess took out a few treasure notes...

"Take it and play with it yourself!"

She said.

Several adopted daughters quickly took it, and then ran away happily.

In fact, these adopted daughters are more efficient in conducting intelligence in the capital than Jin Yiwei, because they are all children, no one pays attention to them at all, and as long as they don't go to class, they run around in the capital.They have pocket money, and they can do business, selling candy, toys and books among the children in the capital. In short, they have an underground intelligence network.

And even if Jin Yiwei disguised himself, it was impossible for him to go to someone's inner house to spy on information.

Let alone the inner house, no one noticed when they ran into other people's study.

There are two or three thousand little girls, all of whom are beautiful and have all kinds of good things. It is not easy to coax a few children outside, and they can be brought home to play with a few pieces of candy.

"Fang Xiaoru, what is he doing sneaking back?"

The little princess frowned and said.

Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng have been wanted, and they have been with Zhu Yunqi all the time. As for Qi Tai, she guesses, but if something like this happens, even if it is a guess, she has to tell Zhu Yunxi, so Qi Tai has been dismissed.However, Zhu Yunxi did not have any evidence of Qi Tai's participation, and he was dismissed on the pretext of ineffective handling of military affairs. Zhu Yunxi was actually skeptical, and Qi Tai had hidden it very well these years, otherwise he would not have been Minister of the Ministry of War.But even if he is dubious, suspicious like this, he can no longer stay in the important task of Minister of the Ministry of War, just let him go home and wait. Once he is really found out, it will not be too late to search his home, anyway, his home is in Lishui.

"Go, enter the palace, he must have some kind of conspiracy in Beijing at this time."

The little princess continued.

Her carriage turned immediately towards the palace.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru had already entered a temple.

"Mr. Zhengxue, is the journey going smoothly?"

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward with a smile.

Well, he is the mastermind behind it.

This guy had been in Beiping before, and he opposed Zhu Di's going to the Western Regions. He, Zhu Gaochi's brothers, and Zhang Yu all opposed it. After all, for them, fighting for the world was the right thing to do. Why would they go to a place like the Western Regions?So Zhu Di didn't take him with him on his expedition. He has been traveling between Beiping and the capital all the time.

Anyway, the sea route is convenient.

At this time, the new schooner clippers were widely used in north-south sea transportation.

"Looking at the door, why be afraid of the minions of the faint king."

Fang Xiaoru said proudly.

He wasn't bragging, he was under the protection of gentry from all over the process of sneaking into the capital.

Including entering the capital, they all rely on the help of local gentry.

"Wang Guangze wants what the people want!"

Yao Guangxiao said with emotion.

Then he smiled deeply.

"However, the king has already been enthroned, not to mention that he was chosen by Emperor Daxing. What can King Guangze do, even if the people's will is in his favor? After all, he will not be able to take the throne. My king and others don't have to worry about it. It's just the Western Regions, and I don't think I will continue to be entangled in the future.

But at that time, King Guangze may only be a glass of poisoned wine. "

He said.

"What does the master want to say?"

Fang Xiaoru said.

He came to Beijing to discuss the next step with Yao Guangxiao.

With his pedantic mind, how could it be possible to play this series of cunning operations, take Zhu Yunwen to escape, run to Jingzhou, use Xiang Wang's psychology of wanting to push Zhu Di to the top, deliberately lure him into the water and continue to stimulate him, and finally come up with King Xiang committed suicide and angered Zhu Di and the vassals, Zhu Yunwen went to cry to Zhu Di and the vassals again.

This plan is closely linked, and it is necessary to be familiar with the personalities of King Xiang and Zhu Di, especially the relationship between their brothers.

It all depends on Yao Guangxiao.

Then he continued to sit in the capital.

Now everything has come true according to his plan.

So what's next?

"There is only one possibility for King Guangze to ascend the throne, and he died suddenly today."

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

Fang Xiaoru fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, the key is that he doesn't know how to do it!

"Mr. Zhengxue, you Confucian scholars still want to have a good life as the master, sage, and virtuous, so you can only fight to the death. We don't need to go all out. Even if I leave tomorrow, I will find a truce with the king and return to the Western Regions, and the country will be indispensable." Master, but you Confucian students are finished.

Mr. Zhengxue, when Confucianism survived and died, there were not a few martyrs. "

Yao Guangxiao said.

As he spoke he put a flintlock gun on the table.

Then he looked at Fang Xiaoru with a deep smile.
