The result is - huge losses.

Baili Yu's plan was that after the results were announced at this meeting, the major families of the Ming Kingdom would express their allegiance to the emperor, skipping the topic of "whether the emperor's northern expedition was a mistake" and directly entering the topic of "how to repay the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce". This is equivalent to explaining that the state still supports the emperor after knowing the huge financial gap, which is an example, and the other vassal states also have to consider the attitude of the Ming state, and when the vassal states have expressed their allegiance to the emperor, the big families in the imperial capital have to put away their dissent and remain silent. When Baili Yu was expecting a huge financial shortfall—190 million gold baht—to be reported by the arithmeticists, the leaders of the major families of the Ming Kingdom (almost all of them were born from the Duke of Ming and were also courtiers of the Ming Kingdom) accepted the reality with a pale face. However, history is not as good as Baili Yu intended this time, Zhu Yichuan's entourage, a young man stood up, this young man is Wen Fuming. Wen Fuming revealed his identity as the imperial capital's envoy on the spot, and expressed strong shock at such a huge financial shortfall, which he considered too unimaginable, and the result of a brilliant victory was that the royal family and the princes were impoverished and on the verge of bankruptcy. He questioned the calculations of the arithmeticians and suspected that there was a huge amount of corruption involved, and his proposal was to immediately stop all kinds of supplies from the vassal states and Wanzhou to the expeditionary army, collect all the spoils, disband the Fengyan Iron Brigade, and welcome the emperor's Luan back to Beijing. Then a new round of financial accounting will begin, this time to be carried out by the Imperial Capital's Cargo Colony Mansion.

Almost all the ministers expressed their support for Wen Fuming, including Zhu Yichuan. The entire Ming Kingdom suddenly fell to the ancestral party in a meeting, completely, completely, and with lightning speed. Wen Fuming's proposal, if adopted, would be fatal to the imperial party. On the surface, it seems that Wen Fuming did not question the authority of the emperor, but Zhou Qing, who had lost the Fengyan Iron Brigade, returned to the imperial capital and could only be slaughtered by others. And this will have a knock-on effect, with all the princes raising their voices of doubt.

Baili Yu realized that at this time he had lost the initiative, and even his personal freedom, Wen Fuming announced the official document jointly signed by the three princes on the spot, and urgently requisitioned Bai Li Yu. Bai Li Yu must return to the imperial capital immediately, and as the emperor's representative, he will pacify the representatives of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce who have gathered in the imperial capital to collect debts. It stands to reason that Lantai Ling is only the emperor's private official, and the third duke does not have the power to transfer Baili Yu. But at this time, the emperor was still on an expedition, and the third prince became the person who replaced the emperor in charge of the country and exercised all power, and it was difficult for Baili Yu to refuse. Baili Yu realized that the imperial capital had also been completely lost, and the three dukes had all thrown themselves into the ancestral hall party, and it was conceivable how the officials below were. Wen Fuming was ready to resort to force when Baili Yu refused, and at this meeting the Ming State sent a number of one hundred and fifty guards, and the record in the Zhu family history "Beizhen Ji" was: "The public guards lined up outside the cabinet with one hundred and fifty people, all of whom were lightly armoured." The intention of the meeting held in the Mei Palace was to send one hundred and fifty "lightly armoured" guards to line up outside.

Baili Yu urgently judged the situation, and if he chose to give in, his camp would be wiped out. At this moment, the emperor's army is reorganizing ships across the Tiantuo Strait and preparing to cross south, and his landing destination is also complete, leading an army that is eager to return to his hometown, the morale of the team is low, if the emperor sets foot on the land of the Ming Kingdom, this group of people will use the same tricks on the emperor. Baili Yu has no shortage of courage to make decisions in danger, and this time the strategists of the troubled times chose extreme means, he drew his sword and led the five guards with him to rush out to kill. He had to report to his emperor's partner, Zhou Qing, at all costs. This is one of the advantages of Baili Yu, no matter when and where, this person will never give up, he can face any opponent, he can use any means, he is not a minister, but a gambler, and he will jump off the wall at the end. Obviously, this Zhu Yichuan and Wen Fuming were taken aback, and the first target of Shi Zai Baili Yu's sword was Zhu Yichuan, this gentle Lantai Ling suddenly performed an assassination act on the palace, and stabbed Zhu Yichuan in the face with a sword. According to some records of "Beizhen Ji", Zhu Yichuan, like his father Zhu Tingshen, is not weak in martial arts, and the Ming Kingdom has always been a military power, and the monarch has been practicing martial arts since childhood. But Zhu Yichuan probably lacked actual combat experience, and he didn't expect that Baili Yu, a handsome scribe, would suddenly become like a vicious wolf, so frightened that he crawled backwards with his hands and feet. At this time, Wen Fuming, who didn't know martial arts, was more calm, holding Sheng to block Baili Yu's sword and saving Zhu Yichuan, but he was injured in the shoulder. In this block, Zhu Yichuan climbed among the courtiers, and everyone drew their swords to protect him, and Baili Yu immediately gave up this goal and broke out. Although the decision was correct, and his courage seemed to be no less than that of any one of the people in the Iron Horse's Car, after all, there were one hundred and fifty heavily armed guards outside the cabinet, and he was finally captured, and all five guards were killed on the spot.

This gave Wen Fuming an excellent reason to detain Bai Li Yu, and he announced that Bai Li Yu intended to assassinate Zhu Yichuan and flee after the financial results were announced, which undoubtedly showed that there was serious corruption in the Northern Expedition, and Bai Li Yu was likely to be the person who embezzled, and these would have to wait for the emperor to return for trial. What is more interesting is that in this small battle, five Jin Wuwei were killed on the Baili Yu side, while the number of casualties on Zhu Yichuan's side was exaggerated - ninety-five. In this way, it seems that the martial arts of Baili Yu's team can be compared to the Iron Horse's Car combined, and it is almost unimaginable to achieve such a result against one hundred and fifty people in an almost closed space. Some rumors say that Baili Yu swordsmanship is outstanding, when invincible, the emperor gave him the sword is the founding emperor Zhou's "Chengying", the soul is seized, as if the first emperor is coming, so the killing is extremely heavy, there is also a saying that Baili Yu is actually a master of the secret road, openly performing secret techniques in the Shanyang Pavilion, at that time, "Tianhuang descended into the world, and the rainbow shot into the sky". Whatever the truth, it was a mess at the time.

The news of Bailiyu's arrest did not spread. The news to the outside world is that Lantai Ling Baili Yu was left for a banquet by the Duke of Mingguo, and he suffered from gastrointestinal discomfort during the banquet and fell ill. Jiang Di's envoy failed to see Baili Yu. At this time, thousands of miles away from Wanzhou, this envoy also made a serious mistake, he saw that the whole end was ready to welcome the emperor back to Luan, so he believed that everything was under control. So he waited quietly in the post house, but sent a letter to Jiang Di that was not very fast. Among them, there is a very key person, that is, the chief of the guard who was with Baili Yu at that time, this Captain Hu Ben took refuge in Wen Fuming, and he has always claimed that Bai Li Yu is ill, and everyone is convinced. At this time, Zhou Qing was waiting for Baili Yu's news, but what he was waiting for was Zhu Yichuan. Zhu Yichuan came with supplies and ships to welcome Zhou Qing back to Luan, accompanied by the captain of the guard, this person does not appear in the history books, but his role is too important, he and Zhu Yichuan both told Zhou Qing that Bai Liyu had gone to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with illness to contact the Marquis of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the situation in the Eastern Continent was precarious. Wen Fuming skillfully took advantage of Zhou Qing's uneasiness, and did not describe to him a calm and unwavering political situation in the Eastern Continent, but said that after the results of financial accounting were announced to the princes, people's hearts were shaken, and although the Ming Kingdom would still find a way to stabilize the situation at present, the mood of the princes fluctuated greatly, and it was urgent to appease them.

Zhou Qing, like Bai Liyu, misjudged Zhu Yichuan, believing in his best friend's son and the situation in the Eastern Continent he described. The scam set up by Wen Fuming looks very realistic. Zhou Qing was worried, his most reliable staff member was sick and not around, which made him feel like he had lost his brain. He was ready to leave for Bizhi immediately, Baili Yu had already "gone to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to calm down the situation with illness", Zhou Qing thought that he should take the overall situation in Bizhi, and staying on this side of the Tiantuo Strait would make him unable to directly judge the situation. Zhu Yichuan also secretly made a statement, suggesting that the emperor return quietly so as not to be detected by the ancestral party. Su Jin objected to the proposal, but he did not offer any reasonable explanation for why he objected. It's just that he thinks that the emperor just quietly returns with his bodyguards, which seems too unbright, and this kind of action itself will be criticized by the courtiers. But the return of the whole army is also dangerous, Su Jin, out of the intuition of a soldier, feels that the current East Continent is full of dangers.

The final resolution was that the emperor would return first with the Wind Tiger Iron Cavalry and the cavalry troops of the rest of the countries, escorted by Ye Wang, while Su Jin led the infantry brigade with the core of the mountain formation to wait for orders on the north shore of the strait, Su Jin asked Zhu Yichuan to provide 750 large merchant ships in case of crossing south at any time. The decision was beyond Wen Fuming's expectations, and the general who broke the army may not have the peerless wisdom of Baili Yu, but he is more serious and will not easily get into danger. This added a lot of variables to Wen Fuming's plan, but Wen Fuming still agreed, and the most important thing was to lure the emperor into their trap first. So Zhu Yichuan left almost all the large merchant ships requisitioned to Su Jin to welcome Zhou Qing to lead troops to the south. What happened at the same time was that almost all the princes knew from the envoys of the Ming Kingdom that they owed huge debts that were difficult to repay, and Bai Li Yu mistakenly published all the debt information he had, and when these materials were taken together, the blow to the princes was absolutely huge. The princes everywhere were secretly convening meetings to discuss the next step, and the secret envoys of the imperial capital appeared in front of almost all the princes and provided them with a perfect solution, Wen Fuming's plan.

Put all the blame on the emperor, and then pay the bill. This may be the result that the emperor must abdicate and support a benevolent monarch to ascend the throne. The plan sounded perfect, and the princes were looking forward to such an outcome, the only problem was that none of the princes would come up with the blame for the emperor themselves, which was too risky, and if most of the princes opposed the proposal, the proposer would be dead. So the princes waited carefully, testing each other's attitudes. Soon, the princes unified their opinions, let the emperor carry this black cauldron, since it was he who initiated the great northern expedition, then he also bear the consequences of all the defeat. Now the princes only have to wait for the emperor to completely lose the power to fight back, and they will openly stand up and support the new emperor to ascend the throne. Zhou Qing made a mistake again, if the army he led was a mountain formation instead of cavalry, he would have a very heavy chip in his hand. The core of the cavalry was the Wind Tiger, and the Wind Tiger was the army of the Ming State, and the generals of the Wind Tiger followed Zhu Tingshen to be loyal to Zhou Qing, but at this time Zhu Tingshen died, and they were bound to turn their allegiance to the new monarch. What's more, their families have all been summoned by Zhu Yichuan, and the topic is nothing more than hoping that these women, children and old people will persuade the generals of Fenghu, and the generals must understand that the first thing to be loyal to is the Duke of Ming, not the emperor. At the same time, the generals' homes were already heavily guarded by the Janissaries.

Zhou Qing boarded the dock of the Ming Kingdom during the grand welcome ceremony of the Ming Dynasty's ministers, and at this time a person tried to report the news. This person is the envoy sent by Jiang Di, and he found that the news suddenly changed, Bai Liyu was not sick, but "went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with illness", this difference is too big. The news disseminated by Wen Fuming in Bizhi is different from the expression of the emperor, this is deeply considered, whether Lantai ordered Baili Yu to leave Bizhi or not, it is difficult to hide from the people who are in Bizhi, and he can't let the emperor go to see Baili Yu in front of the sickbed as soon as he lands, otherwise all lies will be in trouble. The news he released was that Baili Yu was sick, and the people at the end knew that Bai Li Yu was sick, but what the emperor knew was that Bai Li Yu continued to work while sick, which is very easy to explain, even if the emperor asked, Zhu Yichuan could also explain that Bai Li Yu's condition improved slightly and set off immediately, which is a very good time difference.

Jiang Di's envoy did not have the opportunity to meet the emperor, so he could only use the method of suggestion, he pretended to be a merchant and presented a rare sea fish "Qing Song Scale" to the emperor to congratulate the emperor on his triumphant return. In fact, there is a silver medal embedded in the body of this green scale, and the silver medal is engraved with a secret letter. Zhou Qing likes to eat fish very much, and generally speaking, he will never let go of this opportunity to try it. But this time he missed it, because he was sick, and the doctor reminded him that he should not eat any aquatic products, and could only use meat porridge to warm up. Therefore, the top-secret letter was always embedded in the belly of the fish and was frozen in the ice cellar of the Mei Palace where Zhou Qing stayed.

It is a very rare marine fish, which lives at a very deep depth, reaches fifteen feet in length, is extremely powerful, is very difficult to catch, often breaks through the fishing net and breaks the fishing line, and the best fish on it is more expensive than gold. On the night of Zhou Qing's disembarkation, all the senior officers of the Wind Tiger Iron Cavalry were allowed to go home to visit their families. It was also on this night that the ministers of the Ming Kingdom, together with the families of these high-ranking officers, waited in their homes for the men who had returned from the war, and presented their interests to them, while guards with knives stood outside the houses. Some were killed, while others returned to the army early the next morning, when the entire cavalry unit of Zhou Wutie's brigade was stationed at the "Beitu Battalion" in Bizhigang, which was precisely an important stronghold established by Zhou Qing himself to accommodate the Northern Expeditionary Army. That night, the Wind Tiger Cavalry disarmed all the other cavalry, and those who did not obey were killed on the spot, and the reason for this operation was that the traitors led to the defeat of the Zhou Wu Iron Brigade in the face of the Tiefu Tu, and from that moment on, the traitors were strictly investigated.
