Chapter 458: King Gui raises troops
Yunyang wins!
When the news reached Nanjing, the Manchurian dynasty rejoiced.
In particular, the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree to reward meritorious soldiers.
Jin Shenghuan has meritorious rescue skills, so he naturally wants to be rewarded. Cao Fengnian defended the land and should also be rewarded.
What made Zhu Cihong happiest was that this victory completely frustrated Wu Sangui's spirit, so that he had to flee to Henan in a hurry, and he did not dare to fight the idea of the Ming Dynasty again in a short time.
Immediately after that, news also came from Ningbo Prefecture.
The sailors led by Zheng Chenggong broke the Japanese and recovered Jiushan Island.
Under the double happiness, Daming is thriving.
Zhu Cihong also faintly felt that the Ming Dynasty had changed from passive defense to strategic general offensive. Maybe two or three years more, or one or two years at least, will be able to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains and restore Shenjing.
At this moment, the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory was in a hurry, and King Gui of Guangxi was restless.
He first asked the governor of Guangxi to mobilize troops and horses on the pretext of suppressing bandits, and then borrowed troops from Ding Kuichu to join forces and go straight north.
The Tang Bao on the side of the Ministry of War may have been on the way, but before that, the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory had already taken the lead, so that Zhu Cihong had a general understanding.
This cousin of his is really restless.
Zhu Cihong originally wanted to wait for the overall situation to be decided before cleaning up King Gui, but seeing that he was like this, he couldn't wait.
If you can't clear the hidden danger of King Gui, how can the army rest assured of the Northern Expedition?
If the soldiers were fighting with the Tartars on the battlefield, it would be great if King Gui stabbed him in the back.
"Someone, come and see you in the book of the Propaganda Army."
Such an urgent matter, of course, Zhu Cihong had to discuss it with Lu Zhenfei.
Now we have to be ruthless.
...
...
"Chenlu Zhenfei greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live."
After Lu Zhenfei entered the warm pavilion, he knelt on the ground and saluted like a ritual.
Zhu Cihong's father, Emperor Chongzhen, liked to summon courtiers on the platform. Zhu Cihong likes to be in the warm pavilion.
First, it is warmer here, and secondly, you can communicate with your subordinates more privately.
"This soldier, please."
Zhu Cihong stepped forward to help Lu Zhenfei up, and said in a harmonious voice: "I have received a secret performance, King Gui intends to rebel, and he has raised troops. ”
Lu Zhenfei was shocked when he heard the news.
King Gui is plotting against him, and he knows this. But how could there be such a sudden uprising?
"Your Majesty, is the source reliable?"
"It's an urgent performance in the internal factory, so there shouldn't be a problem."
Zhu Cihong paused, and then said: "Ben Bing, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not existed." ”
Lu Zhenfei was silent.
His Majesty the Emperor is right. Naturally, there must not be the slightest carelessness in such a thing as rebellion.
That's about the ownership of the throne.
The status of a vassal king has always been very sensitive.
said that this dynasty, first Jianwen and then Yongle, the joy of cutting the domain is tireless.
Even so, King Ning was still able to gather 100,000 troops to rebel.
Arguably, before the rise of the Tartars, the greatest threat to the emperor came from within.
King Gui is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, and his bloodline can be described as noble.
It's understandable that he has thoughts about the big bit.
It's just that today's lineage is more noble. In order to ascend to the throne, King Gui had to slander that the current saint was not the bloodline of Emperor Lie, intending to take advantage of this opportunity.
Of course, this statement is extremely absurd, but Lu Zhenfei has to admit that it is full of lethality.
Since King Gui spread this rumor, it has spread ten or ten hundreds, and even the tofu seller in Nanjing knows about it.
Rumors are endless, let alone this kind of thing.
Lu Zhenfei also knew that the Son of Heaven was uncomfortable, so he admonished: "Your Majesty is right. Now it is time to inform the Jiangxi side and the Zhejiang side to be ready for war at any time. ”
Guangdong and Guangxi now support King Gui, at least on the surface.
Needless to say, Zheng Zhilong from Fujian.
This person has a backbone in the back of his head, and most of this trouble was caused by him to distract the pressure on King Gui.
Including Wu Sangui's sudden attack on Huguang, it seems to be accidental, but if you think about it carefully, isn't there a lot of connection?
Wu Sangui raised troops to disperse and attract Huguang's troops, and Zheng Zhilong sent private soldiers to pretend to be Japanese pirates to attract the Ming army in Zhejiang.
Isn't everything all about creating opportunities and space for King Gui to raise troops?
In this way, it seems that this is a well-planned rebellion.
What made Zhu Cihong even more chilling was that King Gui not only colluded with Zheng Zhilong, but also hooked up with Dolgon through this line.
Otherwise, Zhu Cihong really couldn't believe that Wu Sangui would have such a coincidence.
"For specific matters, the soldier can come up with a charter. However, I have a few requirements, and one of them is that the use of troops by King Gui will be handed over to Yuan Jixian. Second, we must eradicate the evil and cut down the grass and root it. ”
"Obey."
Lu Zhenfei bowed.
Both of these points raised by the Son of Heaven are very reasonable.
In the former, Yuan Jixian is one of the few handsome talents in the Ming Dynasty today, comparable to it, Wen Anzhi is counted as one, and Zhang Kentang is barely counted as half.
Other than that, it's gone.
Although Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, and Ma Jinzhong are all fierce generals, they are all generals, and their nature is different.
As for the latter, it's even more intriguing.
The rebellious King Gui is the cousin of today's son, but it is precisely because of this that his rebellion is unforgivable.
Historically, the struggle for the throne has been bloody.
Countless siblings have turned against each other in order to compete for the throne.
Fathers and sons kill each other, and brothers fight each other.
When today Zi is benevolent. But that doesn't mean he can put up with his cousin's betrayal.
The best way to deal with the betrayer is to cut down the roots so that they do not have the ability to fight back.
King Gui's vein seems to be doomed.
There is not much difference between the extermination of the vassal king and the common people.
The only difference is that the emperor needs to ask the Zongren Mansion to remove the entire clan of the rebel vassal king from the clan first.
In this way, the vassal kings have all become commoners, and the Yijiu clan has no scruples.
Otherwise, if he was not expelled, wouldn't the emperor himself be included among the nine clans? That's it.
If you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots today, it is also a normal decision.
If you want to blame, you can only blame King Gui himself for being blinded by lard, and he wants to overthrow today.
A Ming Jun like Imami, who is both civil and military, is difficult to find with a lantern. King Gui is looking for death by himself, so it's no wonder that he is ruthless today.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will immediately go and draw up a charter and hand it over to Your Majesty."
"Aiqing, step aside."
Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said a little tiredly.
"Wechen retires!"
After Lu Zhenfei retreated, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but sigh.
Is this chair really that attractive?
He really didn't want to do anything to his uncle and brother. But people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts.
King Gui did such a rebellious thing to push Zhu Cihong into a desperate situation.
He had to come to his own devices.
This is not only for himself, but also for the Ming Dynasty.
