Chapter Ninety-Five: Overwhelming the Public

Other clans are all small brocade clothes and jade food, but Emperor Longwu grew up in the high wall of Fengyang, it is because his grandfather wanted to abolish Changli love, after his father's death, Longwu only because He Tengjiao presided over justice, knocked the old Tang King, and Longwu sat firmly on the throne of the Tang King.

Everyone's childhood life will leave a mark on their life.

Maybe it was because Longwu had a hard time when he was a child, so it gave him different thinking from other vassal kings.

It is "willing to be a virtuous king and leave a name in history." ”

It's just that his efforts have the opposite effect, because he recruited soldiers without authorization, left the fiefdom, was circled by Chongzhen into the Fengyang high wall, and was rescued by Lu Zhenfei.

When he had given up on making a difference, fate rushed him to a position he never thought of. He even sometimes thinks that the previous forty years of hardship, forty years of studying, are just for today. Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically.

It was only in this position that I knew how broken the situation of Daming was. The words "turn the tide" are easy to say. But it's not that easy to do.

"It's just that the world makes people, Emperor Yizong is in trouble in Beijing, and Emperor Anzong is in trouble in Wuchang. The country is broken, only a few provinces remain, summer thieves, sacrifice thieves are raging, there are foreign captives to kidnap my people, and the world is in dire straits. The Duke of Liao died in Wuchang, and the soldiers were exhausted, and the land of several provinces was not enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people were exhausted. Although there are loyal ministers and good generals who will not abandon them, they are also shameless, willing to be slaves with three surnames, Yu Dongyu, Hong Chengchou, and Xia thief Qian Qianyi.

Both of these are the great favors of the dynasty, and the flattery is also. The officials are also exhausted. ”

"I can't sleep at night, it's not a pity for me to die, and then I am afraid that I will mistake the inheritance of my ancestors. There is no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in His Royal Highness. ”

"Today's plan, unless there is an extraordinary strategy, it is not enough to save the time, there are not extraordinary people, it is not enough to make meritorious contributions, it is not enough to have extraordinary generals, it is not enough to recover."

"General Gao and others were convicted in the world, but they were lost. I have no reason not to forgive, and today I hereby announce to the world that anyone who has a skill that can help the court recover will be forgiven for their previous sins. Don't hesitate to reward the marquis. ”

As soon as Long Wu's words fell, He Tengjiao stood up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

He Tengjiao's words, as if it were a signal, immediately many officials bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

When Long Wu saw He Tengjiao out of the ranks, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then secretly bitter in his heart, as the emperor, he couldn't do anything without the support of the ministers, how could he not be depressed. But he immediately perked up, at least now, he has a lot more power than Hongguang had at the beginning.

Things have to come step by step. There is no hurry.

After Long Wu set the tone, many people complained, but they didn't dare much.

Immediately, Longwu ordered Wen Anzhi to hang the title of secretary of the military department and supervise the army of Gao Yigong. Accept the high merit of the sincerity. Then they dispersed.

After most of the people left, Longwu left Ma Shiying, Gao Yigong, Wen Anzhi, and others to have a small meeting.

The first thing to say is the conditions. What kind of conditions are prescribed for high school work?

After discussing it for a while, it was finally determined that it was for Gao Yigong, Li Guo, and Dang Shousu to be crowned marquis.

The three of them are all marquis, so they naturally have the intention of dividing the three.

The next step is to divide the station, and almost divide the place where Gao Yigong is now staying under the name of Gao Yigong. Let them collect taxes for their own use.

Then the imperial court also paid a part. As for how much, it depends on the lack of high merit.

The three of them were also given the general's seal.

After thinking about this condition, he also gave Wen Anzhi a lot of discretionary power. Long Wu privately instructed Wen Anzhi again.

"However, there is one thing that must be emphasized." Long Wu said: "Order the three generals to report to Changsha. ”

"I want to see them."

Wen Anzhi knew that Longwu had never given up and included the three generals in his team.

"Yes." Wen Anzhi said: "The minister understands. ”

Long Wu said: "As long as Lord Wen recruits three generals for me, I will be in the cabinet and leave a place for my lordship." ”

Longwu wants to support Wen Anzhi, if Wen Anzhi can really gain the trust of Gao Yigong and others, Longwu is ready to put Wen Anzhi in the cabinet.

Cabinet ministers collude with local generals. It can be said that the shortcomings of the Longwu Dynasty. But Ryumu now has to find a way to maintain this ill.

Because the cabinet ministers have a foundation above the ground, it is very difficult for Takuda to give an order. But the cabinet also controls local affairs.

But if the two are decoupled, Longwu will have to face a place that is out of control, and a cabinet that has no control over the place.

On the contrary, this malaise became the foundation of the Longwu regime.

Wen Anzhi said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely relieve this worry for Your Majesty." ”

Long Wu said: "There is one more thing, Master Wen is also going to start preparing. ”

Wen Anzhi said: "What did Your Majesty say? ”

Long Wu said: "It's the Northern Expedition. Since I arrived in Changsha, I have never thought about this matter anymore, as long as General Gao is willing to contribute to the Northern Expedition, other things can be put aside. ”

Wen Anzhi said: "The minister understands. ”

For the Northern Expedition, Longwu tried everything he could. He even had a feeling that even if he was not fully prepared, he had to make a northern expedition as soon as possible.

Because if you don't go on the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

Wen Anzhi is growing

The sand did not stay long. Hurried north. However, although his speed is fast, in Changde, Du Yinxi has already fought with Gao Yigong.

Plugging Yinxi is one step earlier than Gao Yigong to Changde.

After all, more than 100 followers came straight to him, but Gao Yigong was a march of tens of thousands of troops. The speed of the two is not the same.

However, when he came to Changde, he was faced with a confused situation. It can also be said that the vast majority of places in the Ming Dynasty are like this, with no fighting spirit and no ambition. It's a good thing to be able to do it.

Whoever can pass for a while is for a while. If you can live one day, you don't have to think about anything else.

The army stationed here also has something to do with Zuo Liangyu, the garrison here was left by Fang Guoan at the beginning, when Longwu Yueyang ascended the throne, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 remnants in his hands, and he was unable to reorganize his defense. Later, many soldiers were added, but the number of soldiers guarding the city in Changde did not exceed 20,000.

Of the 20,000, the true number is just over 10,000. Combat effectiveness is also very worrisome.

After Du Yinxi arrived, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses and recruited troops from Xiangxi Tusi. Xiangxi has had a strong army since ancient times. That is Xiangxi Miao Bing.

The great use of Miao soldiers did not start in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Yuan Dynasty. Miao soldiers were conscripted to pacify the rebel armies from all walks of life, which was the so-called Yang Wanzhi Division. Later, Yang Wanzhi's department was annihilated.

One was incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Yang Sichang recruited some Miao soldiers from Hunan. But far water can't save the thirst of the near.

Plugging Yinxi recruited the people of the city, as well as the gentry from all over the country. Let those who have money pay, and those who have people come out, and overnight, one or two hundred thousand strong men were gathered.

Immediately after that, the first year of high school arrived.

It seems that the previous momentum was like a bamboo, which made Gao Yigong a little lighter. Therefore, the vanguard of the Dashun army rushed straight to Changde City.

Then in the face of Changde Jiancheng, there was no doubt that he suffered a defeat.

A small victory made the people in Changde City cheer incomparably, and it seemed that they had turned the corner.

Only those who understand know.

That's where it really begins. Plug Yinxi didn't dare to slack off. Make every effort to rectify Changde's defense.

Among them, the Yang family gave him a lot of help.

This Yang family is not another Yang family, it is the Yang Sichang family, Yang Sichang is a native of Wuling. And Changde Prefecture attached to Guo County is Wuling County.

The Yang family was killed by Zhang Xianzhong very badly, a huge family, only two or three big cats and kittens remained, and Yang Sichang's tomb was also dug up. The body was abandoned for more than a month, and after Zhang Xianzhong left, he was buried again.

Such a deep hatred. locked the position of the Yang family. He was absolutely uncompromising with the peasant army, and he was also the head of the Wuling gentry. The help of the Yang family was of great help to Plug Yinxi. But no matter how hard he tried, he didn't try. When the Dashun army approached the city, the city of Changde fell into turmoil again. It seems that it is easy to be overwhelmed by the Dashun army.
