Chapter 721: The Imperial Expedition

Capital.

It was snowing heavily.

A eunuch quickly arrived at a side hall in the Forbidden City, attached to Xiao Jing's ear, and whispered.

Xiao Jing was scared.

His face was miserable, and he grabbed the placket of the little eunuch's clothes: "Really? ”

"When...... Seriously...... "The little eunuch is going to cry."

Xiao Jing's soul was not possessed, and he almost cried.

He hesitated again and again, and finally ...... Hurried to the warm pavilion.

In the warm pavilion, it is hot, with anthracite, and now Emperor Hongzhi is also a person with mines, and the earth dragon in this warm pavilion is also willing to burn, therefore, the charcoal fire burned in the sandwich wall of this warm pavilion is emitted into the warm pavilion, and the whole warm pavilion is hot.

Liu Jian and the others sat on their knees, and the British Gong Zhang Mao was very excited.

He opened the map, and in front of His Majesty and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Sheng and others, he chattered endlessly: "Once King Ning is reversed, he is bound to go down the river, and he must want to attack Nanjing and achieve a situation of dividing the river and ruling the river." Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to go north, and the minister also heard that he had bought the water thieves of Poyang Lake, and these water thieves could just serve as the backbone of his Shunjiang to take Nanjing. He wants to attack Nanjing, his primary target, that is, Jiujiang, Your Majesty, Jiujiang over the years, the armament has been relaxed, and the nearby guards are almost old, weak, sick and disabled, if it is now this time, King Ning rebels, I am afraid that this Jiujiang, in the blink of an eye, will fall into the hands of Jiujiang. ”

He paused: "Therefore, the location of the decisive battle with King Ning must not be in Jiujiang, but Anqing, which is the most suitable, this place is close to the central capital, therefore, a large number of military horses are stationed, and the city is also extremely tall, so an order should be issued immediately, and people should be ordered to cross the river with iron cables, and in this area, lay down a defensive line to prevent King Ning from advancing eastward." ”

Emperor Hongzhi and the others kept nodding.

Zhang Mao is indeed a person with a unique vision, he seems to know every military horse stationed in the Ming Dynasty, every city defense, and the terrain everywhere, so it can be said that he is the first to speak.

As for Jiangxi, it is run by King Ning, and the area of northern and western Jiangxi is their base camp, especially Yichun, Shanggao, Gao'an and other places, which have always been touched by King Ning. Therefore, in order to contain King Ning's all-out eastward advance, it is necessary to send envoys to recruit rebels in central and southern Jiangxi, with Ji'an Mansion as the center, and it is not necessary to let them attack, just let them eyeing Nanchang, which is enough to make King Ning dare not attack Anqing with all his might. ”

"With these two hands, King Ning can not take Anqing with all his might, and he is afraid of being attacked by the enemy of Ji'an, as long as he is still trapped in northern Jiangxi, doing nothing, and when my court sends a large army to camp in northern Jiangxi, King Ning will naturally break himself."

Xie Qian couldn't help but say: "British Duke, but if King Ning does not take Anqing and Nanjing, but attacks southern Jiangnan." ”

Zhang Mao laughed heartily: "This, Xie Gong doesn't know something, Jiangxi is the land of the four wars, the north is the river, the west of Jiangxi, the mountains are undulating, the east of Jiangxi, is also the mountains are continuous, the south of Jiangxi, and the mountains are continuous, in addition to going down the river, taking Nanjing, no matter which way he goes, it is to bring about his own destruction, the tens of thousands of people he recruited, how much strength can he have, how can he waste in the mountains and rivers, this is looking for death." If he went south, the court would only need a few thousand people, guarding the passes everywhere, and he would be taught to have wings and no place to die. This march and war, it is not enough to say a few words to the map, to study the mountains and rivers, let's say so, Xie Gongke has heard that in all dynasties, can there be any from Jiangxi and win the world? ”

The crowd was silent, and it made sense.

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "Therefore, King Ning is not afraid, to deal with them, the key is Anqing, if Anqing is a rock, King Ning is the turtle in the urn, His Majesty gave the minister 100,000 elite soldiers, and within eight months, he beheaded King Ning under the city of Nanchang." ”

Emperor Hongzhi listened to Zhang Mao's analysis, his heart was settled, and he smiled: "Zhang Qing's family is seeking the country's words, I listened to it, and my heart was very relieved, and I really deserved to be the queen of Hejian."

The King of Hejian is the posthumous title of Zhang Mao's ancestor Zhang Yu.

As soon as Zhang Mao heard the three words of the king of Hejian, he immediately thought of his ancestors, his eyes turned red, and he bowed down: "After the old minister became a famous general, he did nothing in his life, and his ancestors had already made great contributions to the court, reported to the king's grace, and went down to the people. Your Majesty has entrusted him with a heavy task, how can the old minister not be unreasonable. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded again and again: "Listening to Qing's words, I am very relieved." ”

But at this time, that Xiao Jing came.

Xiao Jing kept giving Emperor Hongzhi a look.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Xiao Companion, what's the matter." ”

Xiao Jing wanted to cry out and fell to the ground: "The slave and maid are dead." ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again: "You say it bluntly." ”

Xiao Jing cried: "Your Majesty...... Slaves...... Slaves...... I just got the news, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know where to go......"

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "I don't know where to play again." ”

Xiao Jing shook his head: "According to the visit of the East Factory, I know that he has ...... all the way I went to Nanchang Mansion, and at the post stations along the way, there was a person named Zhu Shou who lived in the hotel, and his appearance and temperament were the same as His Royal Highness, not only that, but His Royal Highness also brought three or four servants, it is said that ...... It's to take off King Ning's head with his own hands......"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

the groove.

With three or four people, he went to Nanchang Mansion.

I also want to kill King Ning.

Who does he think he is?

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly rose: "This little beast! ”

Liu Jian, Zhang Mao and others were also taken aback, and bowed down one after another: "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"He's going to be angry." Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "What about Fang Jifan? ”

Fang Jifan...... I didn't go with the prince, but the next day, I also went south in a hurry, and the slave maid was guessing that Fang Duwei must have known something and wanted to chase His Royal Highness the prince back, but there was no news yet, and the slave and maid guessed and wanted to come...... Thinking about it, he found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"And then?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

"I found His Royal Highness the Prince, I should, I will go to Nanchang Mansion with His Royal Highness the Prince."

Emperor Hongzhi was about to faint, clenched his fists fiercely, and smashed his hand on the imperial case: "What you just said is that Fang Jifan went to chase the prince." ”

Xiao Jing trembled: "But I found ...... when I found it."

"Enough!" Emperor Hongzhi served, completely obeyed.

If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles.

finally felt that this kid was out of breath, and he came to this again, he said angrily: "Renshou Palace, Kunning Palace, and Princess Mansion do you know?" ”

"No, I don't know, the slave doesn't dare to say it."

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Then don't say a word, which one is angry, I will never spare you." ”

Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi sympathetically.

His Majesty himself is going to be angry, and the result is ...... Still thinking about the Queen Mother, Zhang Niangniang and Her Royal Highness the Princess were angry to death, it's really ...... Miserable.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Mao said: "It's urgent, His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm just afraid that there will be more than one luck, and now, most of the money and grain have been dispatched, and the old minister will lead the troops and go straight to Nanchang Mansion, while ordering people to search for the prince and the horse captain." ”

At this point, that's all there is to it.

People have run away from the vast sea of people, where to find people.

The only way is to put down the rebellion immediately and without delay.

Emperor Hongzhi touched his forehead and paced back and forth anxiously: "Parents are here, not far away, don't you say this, no one teaches this little beast?" This little brute, if he dies, if he lives, I will not kill him. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was almost about to faint, when suddenly tears burst into tears: "My son, I gave birth to you and raised you, why did you make me like this, what sin did I do, why did I do this?" ”

Liu Jian and the others were frightened, and they were sincerely afraid: "Your Majesty, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince, Jiren has his own natural appearance." ”

Emperor Hongzhi tugged at his heart: "At the beginning, wherever he walked, he held my hand, I was reviewing the music, he sat on my lap, sticking to me, and I disappeared for a while, and I had to cry loudly. ”

"Your Majesty......" Everyone wept: "Your Majesty should think of a way first." ”

Emperor Hongzhi lost his soul: "Think of a way? Yes, it's time to find a way, this little brute, this little brute......" Emperor Hongzhi's lips trembled, and he scolded the little beast four times in a row, before he raised his eyes and said sharply: "Pro-Zheng, Royal Driver Pro-Zheng!" ”

"What?"

Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi in amazement.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have a resolute attitude: "King Jinning rebelled, if I did not personally quell the rebellion, I would be ashamed of my ancestors, Emperor Taizu Gao, who had always personally charged into battle." When Emperor Wen was there, he also personally read the three armies and went out to level the thieves. Even the emperors of Xuanzong personally inspected the three armies. Since the ascension to the pole, the world is generally peaceful, and the rebellion of King Ning, the stakes are very high, must be pacified as soon as possible, I drive the expedition in person, can encourage the three armies, so that the soldiers are brave, I have made up my mind, no one can persuade again, the British public Zhang Mao, you are the vanguard, I lead the Beijing camp, and then arrive, pass the decree down. ”

"Your Majesty...... Don't ......," Liu Jian wanted to persuade.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian meaningfully: "If it is the son of the Qing family, he is also missing, it can also be said, must not?" ”

Liu Jian was silent.

But at this time, Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was in a hurry, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how could he let His Majesty personally recruit it, this etiquette was ......

"Your Majesty, if the courtiers are nowhere to be found, the ministers should put their family and country first, and they will never act willfully." Zhang Shengzhen said with words.

Emperor Hongji's face was pulled down.

Xiao Jing glanced at Zhang Sheng, and suddenly remembered something: "The slave remembers, it seems to be ...... Of the several servants brought by His Majesty, one of them ...... It's called Zhang Yuanxi, Zhang Gong, this person...... What does it have to do with you? ”

"......" Zhang Sheng was stunned, then snapped, collapsed to the ground, and muttered: "Gonggong Xiao, don't be joking." My son has a leg disease, he ...... He...... How can it be...... Go to Nanchang, this ...... This...... Haha, that's ridiculous. ”
