Chapter 371: Xia Zhen is lost
Several people glanced at each other, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhang Yu.
Liu Xian asked with some hesitation, "Why do you want to do this?" With our military power, there is no need to do such a thing at all. It is not too difficult to defend Xia Zhen and defeat the traitors by the way. ”
This sentence made everyone nod in agreement.
In fact, the few people present understood in their hearts that the rebels seemed to be huge, but in fact they were just a rabble, not even as good as the rebels in the southwest.
The rebels were poorly armed, some even carried hoes, and had no training. The bows and arrows in their hands were used by hunters for hunting, and they had no armor on them.
When such a rebel army encounters a well-equipped army, there is basically no chance of victory, so the officers and troops do not need to back down at all.
These rebels dared to rebel, and the officers and troops crushed them all the way, and it was not difficult to quell this rebellion.
Now the official army has given up Xia Zhen instead, which will greatly increase the prestige of the rebels, and it will make it look very big, and even the entire north will shake, and the capital will also shake. It's a thing that doesn't outweigh the cost.
Zhang Yu glanced at a few people around him and sighed helplessly.
Each of these friends he made at the Royal Academy was very capable and special. For example, Liu Xian in front of him, his military strategy is much stronger than himself, and Lu Xiangsheng is both civil and military, and Cao Wenzhao is the champion of the three armies, these are rare talents.
But Zhang Yu felt that they were not sensitive enough to a certain point, that is, the judgment of the DPRK situation.
So Zhang Yu said slowly: "What you can see, do you think Your Majesty will not be able to see?" ”
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, you can all judge that the rebels are vulnerable, do you think Your Majesty will not know?
Several people were silent.
All of them are students from the Royal Academy, and they have a very clear understanding of His Majesty today.
Judging from what His Majesty is doing today, he is definitely not a dumb emperor, especially the way His Majesty does not cover people today, which makes them feel that His Majesty is a holy king.
Whether it is the vassal king who has committed a crime, or the Confucian family who has committed a crime, His Majesty has no mercy in dealing with it now. This fills the hearts of these people with energy and confidence in their hearts.
Because they know very well that no matter what they find out, His Majesty will not lie to them, let alone let what they have done be wasted.
As long as you are on the side of justice, then justice can be demonstrated.
In this way, the emperor may not be liked by the old fritters of officialdom, but for them newcomers, they still like it.
When every young person has just stepped into society and embarked on the road of officialdom, his heart is full of righteousness.
It's just that after more than ten years and decades of polishing, the righteousness in their hearts has almost been consumed. When faced with a lot of hopelessness, they can also become drifting with the flow.
The few people present have not yet reached that time.
Zhang Yu's words made several people fall into deep thought.
Liu Xian said slowly: "Xu Guangqi, Xu Ge Lao, British Duke, I'm afraid I can also understand it." ”
Several people nodded at the same time.
They were subordinates of the British Duke, and they got along with the British Duke for some time. The British duke left a very deep impression on them, he was approachable on weekdays, and he could be regarded as a good boss.
The British duke did not betray their grandfather's arrogance in the face of them, and did not have the arrogance of the noble children, but was very wise and good at adopting their opinions, and at the same time had a very keen judgment of the situation. This can be seen in the actions of the British public.
Take control of the army in Jining City, and send Shandong men and horses to form their army, so that they can prepare in advance to quell the rebellion. From these acts, it can be seen that the British public has long judged the situation.
Since there has been a judgment for a long time, and there is no problem with people, it is naturally impossible to make such a stupid decision. Then there's something they don't know.
Zhang Yu looked at a few people and said slowly: "The difference between us and the top management is that the news is not equal. ”
"The decision made by the top may seem very ridiculous and incomprehensible to us. But it's because we put ourselves in our shoes and make judgments based on the information we are exposed to.
"But for the executives, they have access to more information. The decisions they make may be the opposite of what we do. You should all know the role of intelligence, and the two sides of a piece of information are even opposites. ”
"Tell me why." Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhang Yu and said with some eagerness.
Sighing, Zhang Yu glanced at Cao Wenzhao and said, "Do you think the most tricky thing for the imperial court now is to quell the rebellion?" Are these rebels really worth the court's fight? ”
"They are not even as good as those in the southwest, and they are not worth the imperial court at all. Now the most worrying thing for the imperial court is the Kong family. ”
"You must know that the Confucian family is the descendants of the Confucian saints, and they have been worshiped by the scholars for generations, so it can be said that the scholars rely on them very, very much. But where are the people of the Kong family now? ”
"Yan Shenggong committed something and was deprived of his title by His Majesty, what about others?"
"He was on the rebels' side, and he also made a rebellious document. Whether it's true or not. After all, there is such a thing. What if the rebels used this to incite the readers? ”
"This is what the DPRK is most worried about, not some so-called rebels. How to appease the scholars is more important than counterinsurgency. ”
"Once Xia Zhen is relinquished, the rebels' military peaks will be directed at Qufu. There are people from the Kong family in their army, what do you think the rebels will do after they go to Qufu? ”
The people present were naturally knowledgeable and intelligent people, and they might have been a little confused before they broke it, but after Zhang Yu broke it, they instantly understood it in their hearts.
It is irrefutable that the Confucian family must be resolved.
Before, His Majesty was forced to kill the Kong family and did not kill the Kong family, but directly released Kong Yinzhi, which must be uncomfortable in His Majesty's heart.
Now that the Kong family and the rebels are mixed up, what will Your Majesty do?
It's sure to push the boat down the river and make them stir it deeper.
Once the momentum of the rebellion started, the affairs of the Kong family could not be hidden. At that time, no matter how His Majesty kneaded the Kong family, no one would say a word, and no one would stand by their side anymore.
Even if His Majesty doesn't kill the Kong family, the Kong family has already fallen into the mud.
After a few people figured this out, their gazes at Zhang Yu were a little different.
Obviously, what they didn't expect, Zhang Yu just judged through the actions of the imperial court. This kind of comprehension is something that no one present possesses.
"You're amazing." Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhang Yu and said with a sigh: "If there is anything in the future, I still have to ask you, and I can't offend you, otherwise I'm afraid my end will be miserable." ”
"You just have to fight well." Zhang Yu said angrily: "In the future, we will go to the officialdom, I am in the rear, and you are in the front." ”
"Let's cooperate with each other to exterminate the boar skins and tartars. At that time, I will be a virtuous minister, you are a world-famous general, and we will go down in history together. ”
After hearing this, the atmosphere between several people eased and laughed at the same time.
At this time, Sun Chuanting walked over from not far away, and after glancing at a few people, he said directly with a calm face: "What are you laughing at, don't hurry up." ”
Several people looked at each other for a moment, and laughed again, but their pace quickened considerably.
Sun Chuanting saw the backs of several people, and a smile appeared on his face.
This is the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Sun Chuanting is very young now, his qualifications and prestige are not comparable to those in front of him. At the same time, in His Majesty, Sun Chuanting is also very trusted, and everyone knows this.
The current Sun Chuanting can be said to be full of energy.
After quelling the rebellion this time, Sun Chuanting believed that His Majesty would definitely make a difference, and at that time, it would be an opportunity for his own people.
After some small twists and turns, the army did not stop and continued to advance towards Juye.
At the same time, Xia Zhen was lost, and the rebel soldiers pointed directly at Qufu.
All of a sudden, the world shook.
Countless people began to run to tell each other, and even the capital was shocked three times a day, after all, His Majesty is still in Jining.
At this time, in Jining City, there was no shock.
Zhu Youxiao got up in the morning and punched a set, drank a bowl of gruel, and ate two steamed buns.
He felt that he had food in his stomach, and his mood was much better, and he walked out while moving his muscles and bones.
There was still some coolness in the early morning, and the cool weather made people feel very comfortable.
Although summer is about to begin, the weather in late spring is still good.
Glancing at the rising sun in the sky, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "What's the news?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed: "Chen Sihai, Lord Chen just sent the question book over. ”
"Really?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong with interest and asked, "What happened?" ”
"There is no problem in Jinan for the time being." Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Lord Chen has controlled the situation, and the political envoy and the envoy of Shandong have all been arrested. The incriminating evidence is still being verified, and I believe that the results will be available soon. The governor of Shandong cooperated very well, allocated grain and grass, and commanded the army, and Lord Chen said that there was no problem. ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for Chen Hong to continue.
Chen Hong hurriedly continued: "There is a battle report from the front, Xia Zhen is lost, and the rebels' troops are pointing directly at Qufu. Judging from the current situation, I believe that it will not take a few days to take Qufu. ”
Chen Hong also knows a little about the transfer of troops and generals in the imperial court.
This place in Qufu was originally supposed to be heavily guarded, but now it is not like that.
There weren't too many people in Qufu today, and Chen Hong believed that once the rebels arrived in Qufu, those who stayed behind either surrendered or fled.
As for the current main army of the imperial court, part of it was taken away by Sun Chuanting and went straight to the rebel lair in Juye.
The other part was stationed in Jining, led by Qi Jin, waiting for an opportunity to prepare for an attack.
It is believed that once the time is ripe, the army here will go straight to Qufu and go there to exterminate the rebels.
Chen Hong also knew about the affairs of the Kong family, and the emperor made it clear that he wanted to step on the Kong family to death.
Now facing the rebels, the Kong family has two choices, either to defend Qufu or to flee from Qufu.
Either way, it was a very big blow to the Kong family.
Defending Qufu will definitely suffer heavy casualties; escaped from Qufu and abandoned their family and business, and their lives would not be easy, and they even forced them to cut with Kong Yinzhi.
It's really going to get to that point, and the Kong family is really in a state of decline. Of course, there is another way, and that is to rebel with the rebels.
Once this path is chosen, then the army of the imperial court will be exterminated along with the Kong family.
Zhu Youxiao nodded again and said, "Is there anything else besides?" Is Jining City peaceful? Are the gentry everywhere quite honest? ”
"According to the report of Jin Yiwei, the gentry everywhere are quite honest. There is no rashness. As for Jining City, there is naturally no problem. ”
"There is an emperor sitting here, and no one dares to offend Longyan." Chen Hong said with a flattering smile on his face, and at the same time quietly patted Zhu Youxiao's fart.
"I'm getting better at talking." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Anyway, it's okay today, take a few people out for a walk." ”
"It's been so long since I've been in Jining, and I haven't gone out for a walk. Staying in the yard all day, it's going to rust all over my body. ”
"Yes, my lord, the slave will arrange it." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.
While Zhu Youxiao was preparing to hang out, in Xia Town, Wang Haoxian led people to celebrate.
Since the uprising, it can be said that everything has gone very smoothly. Wherever the army went, the Ming army was invincible.
Attacking the city all the way has greatly increased Wang Haoxian's confidence.
From here, continue to fight, go north along the canal, and capture the capital. At that time, you can also taste the emperor.
The emperors took turns, and now it was their turn.
Glancing at Kong Yinzhi, who looked disillusioned below, Wang Haoxian said with a smile: "Yan Shenggong, why do you have to do this? Now that we have taken Xia Zhen, the next step is to march into Qufu. At that time, Yan Sheng Gong will also be able to go home. ”
After hearing this, Kong Yinzhi raised his head.
His eyes were red, his dark circles were heavy, and he had obviously not slept well for a long time.
Kong Yinzhi looked at Wang Haoxian and wanted to carry a knife to kill the guy in front of him.
If it weren't for him, why did he end up like this?
Back to Qufu, heh, what should I do if I really get to Qufu?
Kong Yinzhi was also resentful in his heart, the army of the imperial court was too useless.
Why did these rebels like Hanako beat your officers and soldiers to a pulp?
Are you all undercover agents for the rebels?
It's just useless! What a shame to throw home!
Of course, this thought was fleeting. Kong Yinzhi is more worried about his own situation, what should he do?
"Then congratulations to the handsome." Kong Yinzhi said slowly.
