Chapter 196: A Big Gamble
Knowing that the old monk wanted to sleep, Zhu Di didn't mean to let him rest, tomorrow is the end of Jingjing, Zhu Di was a little excited, but also a little worried.
It's like gambling.
You look at someone else's money bag, and others look at your money bag.
He wanted to kill Mei Yin.
Mei Yin wanted to kill him.
It's up to whoever can play the best game.
Playing with the chess pieces, he chattered a little and said, "Old monk, when you saw me for the first time, you whispered that I would give me a white crown, and I was really startled by you at that time." β
The prince added a white crown for "emperor".
He also said, "Now that I am also in the white crown, although I don't know what future generations will say about me thousands of years later, but sitting in this position, I can't just think about myself, so old monk, do you know why I favor dusk?" β
The old monk smiled and said, "One word." β
Zhu Di nodded, "Yes." β
Which word?
Prefixes, of course.
From the day of Jingnan's success, Zhu Di knew that what he did was destined to become the focus of controversy in history.
As the first case in the ages, Zhu Di is bound to become the focus of attention of future generations.
So the day he ascended the throne, he was invisibly covered with heavy shackles.
More than Zhu Yunwen?
It's a must.
But it is not enough to surpass Zhu Yunwen, and it is even far behind, because the various measures taken by Emperor Jianwen after his accession to the throne have been revealed, and if he continues to be in charge of the country, the Ming Dynasty will not be bad.
What Zhu Di wants to surpass is his father.
However, how difficult it is to surpass the Great Ming Taizu.
There is little hope on the way to martial arts - slim, it does not mean that there is no hope.
Zhu Di wanted to try.
Therefore, Dusk proposed to form a cabinet to discuss politics but not decide on politics, which really spoke to Zhu Di's heart, and Zhu Di had the energy and time to create an overall situation after taking a break from busy political affairs.
The second suggestion is to edit the whole book.
Zhu Di also likes it.
There is little hope for martial arts to surpass Dad, but there is a great opportunity in Wenzhi, and the editing of this whole book, once successful, not to mention surpassing Dad, at least it can go hand in hand.
The third suggestion to go to the West, on the one hand, is to find Emperor Jianwen, and more importantly, it can show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
If the four seas are subjugated......
Not convinced?
Dress!
If this situation can be created, in the future, Zhu Di will drive the tribes on the grassland again, smash the tribes on the grassland, and seek a hundred years of peace for the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty will crown the four seas.
Zhu Di has a crown, and Daming has a crown!
Under the crown of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di can also look at his father's back in martial arts.
Therefore, Zhu Di always has the feeling that dusk is a roundworm in his stomach.
Knew too well what he wanted.
Dao Yan closed the Buddhist scriptures, Zhu Di didn't let him go, he still had to go to sleep, got up and walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and turned around, "So, you just cheated his big day?" β
A good day of joy, but to see blood.
In case of a mistake, Xu Miaojin will be widowed as soon as he gets married.
Zhu Di smiled darkly.
Who doesn't pit twilight?
Who told him to rob my kind sister-in-law, if there is no dusk, the sister-in-law will be my Zhu Di's sooner or later.
Heyβ
Zhu Di suddenly lost interest, "Go to sleep." β
When Daoyan went out, Zhu Di came to the door and asked Zheng He at the door, "What do you say over there?" β
Zheng He took two steps forward, "After Princess Ningguo left, Mei Yin has been in the study and has no intention of sleeping, the latest news, he has been sitting at the desk since he closed the window of the study. β
Look at the shadows, there are shadows on the window lattices.
Zhu Di was puzzled, "Mei Yin is in the city, how dare he guarantee that he can control those Beijing camp troops?" β
Zhu Di didn't know which people in the Beijing camp were bought by Mei Yin.
Or that Mei Yin's people have just been dormant better, but one thing is certain: after he goes to the dusk tomorrow, Mei Yin will definitely let his people take the opportunity to attack Yingtian and besiege the wedding banquet scene at dusk.
Zheng He smiled wryly, "Who knows." β
Zhu Di pondered for a long time, "Let people keep an eye on it, and don't relax on Liu Moxie's side." β
Zheng He went on an errand.
Zhu Di returned to the room and sat down, deep in thought.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Strictly speaking, Yongle has not yet moved the capital, before the establishment of the Fifth Military Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, the Beijing Battalion could not be called the military camp, and the Beijing Camp today is widely known as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
Left, right, center, front, and rear armies.
Of these, only one guard of each army was in Gyeonggi, and each army had a permanent guard.
So there is a saying that there are five armies and ten guards.
In Beijing, Wuwei is not a tuntian system, and it is practiced in the large and small school fields of Yingtian on weekdays, and it is divided into outside the city and inside the city.
This was the predecessor of Jingying.
It was not until Zhu Di moved the capital that he also set up the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Beijing, and set up 3,000 battalions and Shenji Battalions, together with the five military battalions, and called the Beijing Battalion, and even after the change of Tumubao, ten military battalions were added.
Therefore, at the end of the first year of Yongle, there were only five guards stationed in Gyeonggi.
Butβ
The power that Zhu Di can control now is not limited to these.
There are also pro-military guards that are not subordinate to the governor's mansion of the five armies, including the Jinyi guard, the flag bearer guard, the front and rear guards of the Jinwu guard, the Yulin guard, the left and right guards of the government army, etc.
Therefore, at the end of the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di had fifteen guards in his hands.
Under the same night, I can't sleep at dusk, the things that should be busy have been completed, and tomorrow I will be the groom dressed in red and colored, to meet the most beautiful woman in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
He was excited.
But not carried away by love.
Although Zhu Di didn't tell him, Dusk guessed that tomorrow's wedding would probably be the last glimmer of Jingjing's afterglow, don't think about spending it safely - if it is Mei Yin at dusk, she will also seize the opportunity for Zhu Di to leave the Forbidden City tomorrow.
In the evening, he called Saihazhi to the house.
Tonight, Saihachi will spend the night in his house.
Not only Saihazhi came with him, but also Dusk's henchmen: Du Jinming's seven people, plus Yu Yanliang, Zhao Fangsheng, Gou Bu, Zhang Fengyang, a total of eleven people, all of whom are strong men.
In addition, there are hundreds of people in Nanzhen Fusi who can make Saihazhi absolutely trust, and they will also come around the mansion tomorrow morning to be responsible for security.
After nightfall, at dusk he and Saihazhi gathered in the study.
Two big men sit under the lamp.
Dusk picked up the quill, and the strength of the fifteen guards of the pro-army that the two men knew was written on a piece of paperβthis could only be estimated, because it was impossible for many troops to pour them all over.
For example, Jinyiwei, there are not many in Yingtian City.
There are fewer Fusi in the south town.
Most of the Jinyi Guards are under the jurisdiction of the Fusi of the North Town.
Therefore, among the fifteen guards of the pro-army, the most that can really be sent to the battlefield is no more than 30,000, and this number is not lower than the number of guards in the capital camp of the five armies.
So the question is - how many people are in the five guards in Beijing in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that Mei Yin can instigate?
There is one more problem.
This time it is not a simple battlefield fight, even if Mei Yin only has 1,000 people, once these 1,000 people suddenly appear at the wedding banquet scene, Zhu Di will not be able to reach even if there are 100,000 people.
The city is so big, it is impossible for all the troops of the fifteen guards of the pro-army to be deployed to the periphery.
I'm afraid it's more about street fighting and involvement.
There is also a contingency factor to be taken into account: among the fifteen guards of the pro-army, is there anyone with Mei Yin?
Just thinking about it makes Dusk feel like my head is blowing up.
It's too complicated!
I'm afraid that even Zhu Di himself doesn't know who will defect tomorrow.
Zhu Di is also gambling.
It's just that he has a greater grasp, so he dares to have no fear, but things in the world are afraid of what if, Mei Yin's big bet is to bet on this what if-what if it succeeds?
