Chapter 282: Going North with the Army
Chapter 282 went north with the army
A large number of troops and logistical personnel quickly gathered in the suburbs of Nanjing, and in two days, they reached more than 100,000 people, and the temporary camp on the outskirts of Nanjing stretched for more than 10 miles.
Xia Xun and Su Ying were assigned to the craftsman camp, because they were young and they were a husband-and-wife shop, so they were arranged by Lin Qilin, the head of the craftsman in this camp, to cook for the big guys.
"How's it going, do you have a chance to leave?"
"It's hard." Xia Xun calmly looked around: "The military camp is located on the periphery, it is not easy for us to pass through, and besides, the road guide has been stamped with the seal of the conscription army, and if you want to leave, you have to find a way to nòng two new road guides." ”
Xia Xun suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I think... It's not bad to follow them north, that's where I'm going, and it's the same way!"
In the middle of the mountain for a month, the world has not been a thousand years, but many major events have happened, one of the biggest things is: King Yan is reversed.
Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, and others escaped, and after the court searched for nearly ten days without any clues, Zhu Yunwen discussed with Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others, and finally decided to immediately attack King Yan, cut his title, and arrest his officials. The imperial court messenger immediately rushed to Beiping to convey the secret message to Zhang Yu, Xie Gui and other officials in Beiping, and this day was July 1.
Zhang Hao, Xie Gui and others immediately deployed after receiving the order, secretly dispatched troops, and at the same time tried to get in touch with Li Rui, the guest of honor of the Yan Wangfu, and asked him to inform Shi Gecheng, the governor of the Yan Wang's Mansion, and Lu Zhen, the commander of the command, to prepare to cooperate with the outside and capture the Yan King Zhu Di in one fell swoop.
The incident is not incomplete, but Ji people have their own nature. On July 5, after the internal and external contacts were completed, they were ready to attack the king of Yan the next day, and this confidential task was carried out to some local officials in Beiping who needed to participate, but unexpectedly, there was one person who heard the news and reported the grievances to the king of Yan, and this person was Li Youzhi, the political envoy of Beiping.
Emperor Jianwen reneged on his promise to his grandfather less than a month after his accession to the throne, overthrew the policy of Emperor Hongwu, and wantonly cut the feudal domain, demoted his uncles to concubines, exiled them to the border wasteland, and even killed the king of Xiang, and also called him "戾", which made the deceased uneasy.
At this time, he heard that the imperial court was going to attack King Yan again, Li Youzhi immediately stole the official document and went to King Yan's mansion at night to tell him about it. King Yan was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly gathered his cronies to discuss countermeasures, at that time, the entire Beiping was full of troops under Xie Gui's command, and the soldiers of the three guards of the Yan Wangfu had been transferred, although Zhu Neng got in touch with them, but it was too late to transfer them back.
In the end, Dao Yan offered a plan, saying that the generals of the Beiping army were Zhang Yu, Xie Gui and others, and the soldiers were still the old soldiers of Beiping, all of whom had been led by the king of Yan. The commander Lu Zhen immediately echoed, and the news brought by Li Youzhi said that the imperial court wanted to announce the decree to cut the title of King Yan and arrest the officials of the palace, since there was no intention of killing the prince immediately, it was better to deliberately show weakness to the enemy, open the palace tomorrow to receive the decree, and thank you Zhang Yu for entering the palace to announce the decree, and then they would be killed together.
At this time, the Yan Wangfu was already on full alert, and even the guest Li Rui could not leave the palace, so Lu Zhen wrote the news into a note, tied it to the arrow shaft, and when he patrolled the Yan Wangfu at night, he took advantage of the unpreparedness to send several letters with the same content out of the palace and inform Xie Gui.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Zhang Yu and Xie Gui had not arrived, and Zhang Xin, the commander of Beiping, also quietly arrived at Yanwang's Mansion. Zhang Xin also came to report the news, Zhang Xin had been Zhu Di's subordinate for a while, and he had fought with him, and he was also unhappy about what happened to the kings, and after he got the order to capture King Yan early tomorrow morning, Zhang Xin returned to the mansion and was very sullen.
Zhang Xin's old mother saw that her son was worried, so she asked the reason, Zhang Xin's mother was filial piety, and she was a well-known filial son, who was willing to hide it from her mother, so she told her mother the reason. When the old lady heard her son's words, she was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded, asking her son not to attack King Yan.
Could it be that this old lady of the Zhang family understands righteousness better than his son? No, this old lady believes in Buddhism, Dao Yan saw that the imperial court spread a lot of rumors, rumors spread easily, but they can only stop at the wise, you want everyone to understand that it is just rumors that can't be done at all, so he simply did the opposite, helping to push bō to help the flames, and preach among the people that King Yan is the true son of heaven, the will of heaven returns, day by day brainwashing, brainwashing over and over again, many people in Beiping are convinced of this.
Mrs. Zhang was also convinced of this, so she said that she would not allow her son to be unfavorable to King Yan, and persuaded him to lose his sincerity to King Yan. In terms of feelings and morality, this dutiful son was originally inclined to the side of King Yan, and he was taught such a lesson by his mother, and early the next morning, he really ran to report to King Yan.
King Yan didn't know his intentions, and he was still pretending to be crazy, until he heard Zhang Xin explain what happened, which was confirmed by Li Youzhi's secret report last night, and then he believed that he was really taking refuge, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to thank him and treat him as a guest.
Xia Xun originally wanted to rob Zhang Xin of the credit, and it was easy for the grandfather of the country to do it, but God couldn't get used to him following the bō stream and getting by, so how could he let him easily agree, and this credit finally fell into Zhang Xin's hands.
In fact, even if Xia Xun is in Beiping at the moment, he still can't grab this skill, because Xia Xun only knows what it is, but he doesn't know why, first, he doesn't know the specific time when the court will do it; Second, he is not an official in Beiping, if he rashly makes a statement to King Yan, saying that the court is about to do something to King Yan, he can't come up with any credentials, if he finds a reason to say that the people of Benshan pinch their fingers and count ......, then he will become a demon, and sooner or later he will be suspicious of Zhu Di; Third, and most crucially, he didn't know about the rebellion of Lu Zhen and Li Rui, and the history books were unknown, he only vaguely remembered that Changshi Ge Cheng seemed to have defected to the imperial court, and the key to the action was actually Lu Zhen, the commander of the Yan Palace.
If he was in Beiping at the moment, and told the king of Yan that the imperial court was about to attack the Yan domain, and reported Ge Cheng, then early the next morning, the commander made Lu Zhen suddenly attack, and he would be arrested with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and really responded to the words of Luo Kedi: "Punish you full of mén, raze your whole clan, and on the day of punishment, say to me that you are wrong!" ”
In the dark, there is a providence.
Zhang Xin's status is second only to Zhang Yu and Xie Gui, and he is the direct commander of the Beiping army, so he knows that Lu Zhen has fallen to the imperial court, Zhang Xin told Zhu Di the news of Ge Cheng, Li Rui, and Lu Zhen, Zhu Di only broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered the arrest of these three people.
When Zhang Yu Xie Gui led his troops to surround the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di sent a signal in the mansion according to the agreement between Lu Zhen and Xie Gui, Zhang Yu Xie Gui saw that Lu Zhen had already succeeded, and he was full of confidence to enter the palace to announce the decree, the palace was suddenly closed, and Zhu Di's eight hundred tigers suddenly attacked.
Then Zhang Xin rode away and recruited Beiping soldiers, most of these soldiers were led by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and now the first and second people in the court officials have died, and the third person has fallen to the king of Yan, and many generals have thrown themselves under the command of the king of Yan.
At this time, there were still a lot of troops loyal to the imperial court in Beiping City, Zhu Di took his eight hundred dead soldiers as the main force, and these loyal to the imperial court of the army fought to the death, and the army that served the king of Yan was put into battle one after another, Zhu Di gradually gained the upper hand, after a bloody battle for a day and a night, the nine cities of Beiping fell into the hands of Zhu Di, and Zhu Di's territory became the entire Beiping city from a Yanwang mansion.
Early the next morning, Zhu Di gathered the army in the Beiping school field, swore an oath to the sky, and officially launched the Jingjing Rebellion, which was the seventh day of July in the first year of Jianwen.
Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne for just over a year, imprisoned the seventh, thirteenth, and eighteenth uncles, exiled the fifth uncle, killed the twelfth uncle, and finally turned against his fourth uncle.
"I am the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, the concubine of Empress Xiaoci Gao, the closest relatives of the country, and since I was enthroned, I only know how to abide by the law and abide by the rules. Now the young lord is the heir, trusting Jiān Hui, causing a catastrophe and slaughtering my family. My father and queen mother had a difficult business, and the feudal sons were all over the world, and the legends were endless. Once destroyed, the emperor and the queen of heaven will learn from the truth.
The people of the world, brothers and clans, can still sympathize with each other, but as a relative of the Son of Heaven, I can't save my life, and today, what can I not do in the world!
"Zu Xun" cloud: "There is no official in the court, there is jiān evil inside, and the soldiers must be trained to fight for it, and the evil on the side of the Qing monarch will be cleared." This calamity is imminent, and it is really yù begging for death. Those who are not allowed to do so, righteousness and evil do not share the sky, and Di can only obey the ancestral teachings, and it is difficult to rebel against Jing, so as to secure the community. The gods of heaven and earth, take care of the heart! ”
This is Zhu Di's inscription on the rebellion, which has been spread all over the world under the spread of people with intentions.
After breakfast, the craftsmen all held a large bowl of porridge and vegetables, squatted around the tent, and listened to the leader of the craftsmen, Lin Qilin, swinging the dragon mén array there. Lin Tou'er is a fat man, and the poor military masters all call him Fat Zilin, Fat Zilin is already very talkative, and then he is glanced at by a mature and charming girl like Su Ying, and he is even more energetic.
He spat and spatriotically said: "If you want to say this Yan King, oh, it should be said that Yan Rebellion, Yan Rebellion started with eight hundred shì guards, but it is really powerful, the next day Yan Rebellion waved his troops to attack Jizhou, and the guard Ma Yi was killed in battle, and the commander made Máo surrender." Immediately after that, the guards of Zunhua and Miyun moved the city to annex ......"
When Xia Xun heard this, he thought to himself, only one of the three cities was defeated, only one city fought hard to the end, and one of the two commanders took the initiative to surrender. Otherwise, at this time, King Yan still does not see the slightest possibility of success, if you only consider it from the perspective of personal future, how can those generals surrender without a fight? If they don't dare to fight the enemy, they can't escape, I'm afraid they also have a depressed feeling in their hearts. ”
Fat Zilin said: "Immediately afterward, Yan Reverse sent troops to attack Juyong Pass, the guard Wang Zhen was defeated, and defected to Song Zhong and Song Dudu, who came to Huailai, and Song Dudu Governor of Song had 30,000 strong soldiers, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers attached to Wang Bing, with a total of 40,000 soldiers, and Yan Shun only had 8,000 horses, so he went straight to Huailai without fear.
To say 40,000 against 8,000, I am afraid of where he will come, but the Song Governor has done more, in order to boost morale, he told the soldiers that their families living in Beiping have been killed by Yan Rebellious's Luàn army, fù people have been humiliated, and taken captive as the wives and concubines of Yan Rebellious rebels.
Hey! This is good, on the battlefield, parents, brothers, uncles, nephews and uncles see each other, one by one surprises, hugging their heads and crying, where is there still a war? Everyone said that Song Dudu deceived us, and they all disarmed and defected, and voted for Yan Rebellion, but the guards Peng Ju and Sun Tai were killed by the anti-Luàn army, and Song Dudu was caught off guard, fled to Huailai City, hid in a latrine, and was captured alive for the rest of his life, otherwise how could the emperor hastily transfer troops to the north......"
"Fat Zilin, what nonsense are you talking about here! Grow other people's ambition, extinguish their own majesty, nǎinǎi, do you want to eat military sticks! ”
A patrol camp leader led a few soldiers over, glanced at everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Don't look at Yan Rebellious's arrogance for a while, the emperor has worshiped General Geng, Marquis Geng, Changxing, as the general of the conquest, commanding 300,000 troops, and will soon go to Beiping to conquer Yan Rebellious." As soon as the army arrives, the rabble of 30,000 or 20,000 will surely collapse! Eat and do things, don't talk nonsense here! ”
As soon as the craftsmen heard that the birds and beasts were scattered, Xia Xun gave Su Ying a glance and walked away obediently.
Zhu Yunwen really wanted to send troops, this emperor insisted on overthrowing the first emperor's decision, determined to govern the country, and sent people to Beiping to pass the decree, he discussed with Fang Xiaoru every day the law of "Zhou Guan" and the feasibility of restoring the Jingtian system.
Who knows, he was tirelessly studying Zhou etiquette in the palace, and the emergency military situation of Huailai's defeat was sent to Jingshi, and then Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, fled in embarrassment. King Gu's vassal kingdom was in Xuanfu, and before his fourth brother's soldiers and horses arrived, he took his three guards Ma Wan to flee the comers, Zhu Yunwen was taken aback, so he hurriedly threw down the "Zhou Li" and dispatched troops to prepare for rebellion.
The veteran general Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, was the general of the expedition, and Li Jian, the commander of the horses, and Ning Zhong, the governor of the capital, were the deputy generals. And Fei Zhu recruited Anlu Marquis Wu Jie, Jiang Yīn Marquis Wu Gao, Governor Geng Rong, and commanded Sheng Yong, Pan Zhong, Yang Song, Gu Cheng, Xu Kai, Li You, Li Hui, Ping'an and other troops and horses to go north together, among which Jiang Yīn Marquis Wu Gao is the father-in-law of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and his own NV children have followed her husband to throw themselves into the fire**, Zhu Yunwen is still willing to use him, but he is really a good employer.
In response to King Yan's inscription, Fang Xiaoru drafted an edict for Emperor Jianwen to cut down Yan: "...... I was close to my relatives and couldn't bear to deal with it. Today, it is called the military structure, the sect is dangerous, and the ancestors of heaven and earth are offended, and it is incumbent on them. It is to use the simple hair of the soldiers, and to punish them. The soldiers of the Chinese and foreign subjects of the advisory are loyal and righteous, and they are united with the country, sweeping the atmosphere against the tide, and maintaining peace and order. ”
On July 24 of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen told the Heaven and Earth Sect Temple Sheji and officially sent troops to the Northern Expedition. When the army was marching out, Zhu Yunwen instructed the veteran Geng Bingwen Yin: "Raise the army for a thousand days, and use it in one day." I hope that all the princes will work together to save my Ming Society with millions of heroes in the imperial court. It's just that the old general must remember not to let me ...... In the name of killing my uncle. ”
Geng Bingwen understood in his heart, hugged his fists and responded: "For the ministers, share the worries of the king." Rest assured, the old minister has taken it to heart! ”
