The Ming "Pinghan General" and the main naval division of the Ming Dynasty surrendered!

The news spread far and wide, and even in the Jingshi market, people quickly learned about it. Guyin's government, the opposition, the civil and military forces, and the common people are very concerned about the rebellion of the emperor's younger brother.

Ying Tianfu recently seized a secret gambling house, and there were people in the market who took national events and bet on them! A while ago, during the gambling game of the Huguang Battle, it is said that many people became rich overnight...... No wonder the news of the front line had just reached the imperial court, and soon everyone outside knew about it; There are officials in the DPRK and China who are selling news and gambling!

Few of the people of Jingshi, even ordinary officials, really cared about the life or death of the Hongxi court.

It has only been less than ten years since the "Battle of Jingyan", and almost all the people and officials in Beijing at that time were still alive, and everyone had already had experience. When Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty entered Beijing, he killed a bloody storm, but the people who killed were all big officials, what should the people do...... It's just a change of court. The key court is still the Ming Dynasty, and it is all the people of the Zhu family's clan who have no reason to indiscriminately kill their own innocent people.

If it is said that an alien race has come in, the market will definitely be turbulent; But now the capital has a population of millions, and the market is still prosperous.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be faintly heard in the snowflakes; In the ornately decorated boat, the laughter of beautiful women is like silver bells. The picturesque and poetic capital of the Ming Dynasty is ushering in the New Year's Festival of the first year of Hongxi.

There are also many literati and scholars, scholars and scholars in Beijing, who sigh day by day, and feel that it is not a good thing for the Han King to enter Beijing. is still the benevolent and relaxed Emperor Hongxi, so that everyone's life is better; And the martial arts of the Han King are usually more brutal, and Emperor Taizong was like that in the past.

What's more, the scholars still hope that the system of the eldest son will be passed on, and people like the King of Han who break the rules and etiquette always make the Confucian scholars feel uneasy.

But apart from those ministers, the scholars were just sighing and sullen for the time being. After all, the king of Han is also a clan and only wants the throne, so he should not take away the property of the scholars......

In the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the space in the partition is not large, and it is full of ministers at this time. These people are the most powerful members of the Ming Empire, so most of their official uniforms are red; A piece of fiery red clothes, full of festive atmosphere, is very suitable for the New Year.

However, there was no joy on people's faces, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Emperor Zhu Gaochi finally sat down in the position of handling the movement, but he did nothing now, just stretched his legs, leaned back on the fur-covered chair, and sighed to himself.

Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, came out of the ranks and said: "Shengshang, Zhang Fu, Chen Xuan, and Liu are the enemy, and the Daming Water Division has fallen into the hands of the rebels, and the consequences are very serious. The power of the imperial court to control the water surface of the Great River and other rivers was immediately lost!

The main force of my Ming Dynasty is Emperor Taizu's creation before the founding of the country, originally called 'Chaohu Water Division', Emperor Taizu coordinated with water and land, and the first battle was outnumbered, defeating Chen Youliang's 700,000 army, and reversing the general trend in a war! Since then, Da Ming Shui has never been defeated; The training of its warships is excellent, unparalleled in the world, and no one can beat it!

The Daming Sailor fell into the hands of the traitorous king, and there was no fleet in the world that could compete with it on the water. The official and military vessels on the Dajiang, Xiangjiang, Ganjiang, Dongting Lake, and Poyang Lake should be transferred immediately, otherwise they will hit the stones with eggs and fall into the hands of the traitorous king sooner or later.

Our officers and troops should rely on land divisions and cities, turn attack into defense, and follow the banks of the great river to resist the enemy......"

Yuan Hui frowned and said, "Ru Butang, isn't it good to destroy your own prestige for so long?" ”

Ru Yu said: "The situation is like this, what's the use of saying it well?" ”

Yuan Heng asked: "We still have sea vessels in Longjiang Port and other places. ”

Ru Yu shook his head and said: "The sea ships are fighting in the big river, and that is to send ships to the rebels!" From the very beginning of their construction, seagoing ships were built to sail on the sea; The bottom and structure of the ship are not adapted to the river, and it mainly relies on sails and currents to navigate.

Sea ships can indeed barely sail in the water depths of the lower reaches of the river, but there is no way to fight! As a result of the fight, the official can conclude that he will either not be able to win the fight, or he will not be able to catch up!

The big treasure ship is in the big river, the wind direction is wrong, sailing against the current, and it is difficult to move; If you can't catch up with the enemy ship, the enemy will ignore you first, and leave it until the last fireboat will attack it, and the treasure ship with thousands of materials (displacement) will be bulky and unbearable in the river, how to hide?

The rest of the sea ships may be able to catch up with the enemy ships if they find an opportunity, but they can't win the naval warships...... A big war often goes against the trend slightly, which will affect the outcome; Our naval division is so disadvantageous in the river, and the result of the water war is obvious. ”

Yuan Heng's face was heavy and displeased, but he didn't say anything disrespectful to Ru Yu; Maybe he also knows that people like Ru Yu are just talking about military intelligence, and they don't mean anything else.

Yuan Hui racked his brains and thought hard, and after a while, he said: "Now we should mobilize the border troops on the nine sides of the north, and immediately King Qin!" ”

After he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the warm pavilion, and no one echoed him.

The vassal kings in the north showed signs of rebellion, and the Mongol tribes had also begun to raid and plunder the frontiers, so the transfer of the border troops would of course cause great problems...... But these things are not a problem, after all, for the monarchs and ministers of the capital, protecting the imperial court is the most important thing! The big question is: can I still be transferred now?

According to the local martial arts in the later stage of the "Battle of Jingyan", the reaction of those people was one word: Yin Feng Yang violated! The imperial court is still there, and the civil and military generally do not resist the order, but it takes half a year to gather soldiers and horses, and it takes a year to march thousands of miles; Wait for it!

The ministers all know in their hearts: the royal brothers are fighting, and one side can't even keep the capital! At this time, what good can be done by asking others to be diligent and diligent?

Unless the ancient tribes of Mongolia have the ability to fight over, the edict of King Qin must be very effective. After all, everyone knows the current situation in the world, no matter how powerful the alien race is, it can't stand, and King Qin's great work sent to the door, who doesn't run faster!

Ru Yu said: "As long as the minister is still in charge of the secretary of the military department, he has the duty to remind Yuan Siqing: It is too late to transfer the troops to the king of Qin!" The rebels of the Han Dynasty controlled the choke waterway and would definitely go east along the river.

At this time, the rebels should be near Huguang and Hengzhou, and march eastward along the Xiangjiang River and the Great River, a distance of more than 2,000 miles. But the rebels didn't need to raise food along the way; Relying on the water transportation of the water division can solve the grain needs of the army. In this way, if the defenders of the city along the river fail to effectively stop the rebels, the rebels will be able to attack the city of Beijing in more than two months at the earliest!

How to transfer the northern border army and the guard army to the south bank of the Yangtze River in two months? ”

Ru Yu frowned and said: "If the rebels go all the way to the east, the time will be shorter, maybe only within a month!" Now that the Zhili area is empty, as long as the rebels persuade the rebels to surrender a city near the left of Gyeonggi, and the garrison is there, the hearts of the Jingshi will fluctuate......"

"Alone?" Yuan Jue asked.

Ru Yu said: "With the temperament of King Han, most of them will be like this. The lone army is deep, there is a large river channel to ensure the grain route and the retreat route, and there is no danger at this time; It is very likely that the rebels will occupy other cities in Gyeonggi first, and even if the situation is unfavorable, they can defend the city or jump ship and retreat. There's no reason why King Han shouldn't! ”

…… Zhu Gaochi listened to the ministers' deliberations for a while, but he never participated, but just sat on the top and listened. However, after listening to so many statements, Zhu Gaochi has a number in his heart.

There is no way to return to the sky, there is no cure, and it is completely over!

This is something that cannot be helped, no matter how good the strategy is, no matter how powerful the strategy, if you can't win when you start fighting, what is the use of the strategy?

Zhu Gaochi finally spoke: "What should the imperial court do next?" The ministers should draw up one or two strategies as soon as possible, and submit them to the palace for my approval. ”

Everyone saluted one after another: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand.

So the imperial council ended, and the ministers thanked and retired.

But after a while, Zhu Gaochi ordered the eunuch Haitao to follow him out, and asked Xue Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, to stay alone. When Xue Yan returned to the East Warm Pavilion, there were only four people left inside; Emperor Zhu Gaochi, Dali Temple Qing Xue Yan, Jinyi Wei commanded Tan Qing, and the celebrant eunuch Haitao.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say a word, thinking about anything.

After a long time, Tan Qingcai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has already arrested Liu Sheng's family members and sent them to the edict, please ask the Holy Majesty to dispose of them!" And Zhang Fu and Chen Xuan were deeply favored by the emperor, but they surrendered in battle, betrayed the saint, and killed the ministers of the ministry without permission, which was simply a heinous thunderstorm; Please decree that his family members will be arrested and questioned, so as to set an example for them, so that they will not continue to cooperate with the enemy! ”

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Tan Qing and nodded.

Of course, the arrest of Zhang Fu's family only included the British Mansion and his younger brother's family; The concubines in the palace, the brocade guards can't control it, and they are also the family members of the saints.

Zhang Fu's betrayal is too much! The officials and ministers of the East Palace were very angry, Tan Qing's request should not only be the meaning of Jinyiwei, but also hinted at Tan Qing's appearance.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi himself did not show extreme anger. Because he knows that it is useless to report his anger now. In the last two days, he suddenly thought of a more useful way!

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi said something else, and he spoke: "Last time, Xue Siqing and others investigated the rebellion of my third brother, although the most critical person died, the general truth was also found out. I think that Xue Siqing is very talented in investigating the case. ”

Xue Yan hurriedly bowed down and said: "The saint has a reputation, and the minister does not dare to be it." ”

Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "The death of the first emperor is really strange......" He said and glanced at Tan Qing and Haitao, these two people knew best in their hearts.

Zhu Gaochi then said: "But I can tell you that this matter has nothing to do with me, and it is impossible for me to do such a thing that loses my conscience!" There must be someone else among them. I decided to let Xue Siqing, Jinyiwei, and the celebrant secretly investigate the matter together; Find out the truth and get the real evidence! ”

Haitao and Tan Qing immediately bowed and said: "The minister (slave maid) obeys the order!" ”

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, and also clasped his fists and bowed: "The minister's order." It's just that the minister has something unclear, where can't he be checked? ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a serious face: "You can check anywhere, there are no taboos, and the harem can also come!" This is the most important thing at the moment, Xue Siqing threw all the official affairs of Dali Temple to his colleagues, as long as he concentrated on handling this matter. ”

Xue Yan bowed deeply and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"I must have a heavy reward...... Zhu Gaochi also seemed to realize that it was useless to reward Xue Yan now, so he changed his words and said, "In such a big case, if Xue Siqing can find out the truth and clarify the rights and wrongs; It will be able to go down in history like the ancient Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, and it will be recited through the ages! ”
