On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, today is the Shangyuan Festival, which is the Lantern Festival of later generations. Thanks to the grace of Zhu Hongsan, the master of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, the whole country has lived and worked in peace and contentment in recent years. Although most of the country still does not have enough to eat, at least no one can starve to death.
Today is a great day that has not been encountered in Shenyang for a thousand years, and the Han kings have not been to Shenyang for a thousand years, and the most recent one probably dates back to the period of Li Shimin's expedition to Goguryeo. Now the Son of Heaven is in Shenyang, and it is precisely because of this eternal prosperity that the entire Shenyang city is full of singing and laughing, and the emperor has also opened up the net and restarted the Shangyuan Lantern Festival that has been stopped for more than 20 years.
Zhao Guodong's Northeast Governor Yamen was the core of the empire's power in the Northeast, but Zhao Governor had fun with the people, and issued an order in the afternoon, except for a few confidential departments to keep people on duty, all other clerks and soldiers were given one or two silver, and they were given half a day off to go to Nancheng to participate in the Lantern Festival.
In the afternoon, the entire Governor's Mansion closed early, and everyone went to Nancheng to participate in the lantern festival. Everyone was happy, but Governor Zhao in the inner house had a solemn face. Zhao Guodong didn't have the slightest interest in celebrating the festival at all, he looked at the neatly folded gray and white military uniform in front of him in a daze.
The new army uniform of the Ming Dynasty is red and blue, this gray-white military uniform is not the standard military uniform in the army, if there is a noble of the teaching regiment who followed Zhu Hongsan to be present, he will definitely recognize this is the military uniform of the teaching regiment of the year.
When Zhu Hongsan first started out, he was poor and had to suck his fingers after, and he couldn't be frugal in weapons, so he naturally fooled as much as he wanted in his military uniform. This kind of military uniform of the teaching regiment has not been officially dyed at all, but Zhu Hongsan dyed it with grass and wood ash, although the color is not good-looking, but it is better because of the low cost.
The military uniform in front of Zhao Guodong was washed and turned white, coupled with the hard training that year, this military uniform was torn, and it was really patched on the elbows and knees.
Zhao Guodong is now the Duke of the Empire, the Governor of the Northeast, and the first-class general of the Empire, and he has made the military attache to the top, and his new military uniform is also inlaid with gold and silver, revealing incomparable luxury. But the general's military uniform is still not as good as this gray military uniform in Zhao Guodong's eyes, which carries too many memories of Zhao Guodong.
Zhao Guodong stretched out his hand and gently stroked the captain's epaulettes, immersed in his own memories, Zhao Guodong thought of the previous birth and death with His Majesty the Emperor, the bandits in Liangzihu, the thousands of miles to Guangdong, the bandits in Guangdong, the great battle between Jiading and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Nanzhili, the fierce battle of Yangzhou to capture the city, the large-scale Northern Expedition Campaign, the arduous Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Shanhaiguan that blocked the back road of the Manchu Dynasty, in addition to these, there is also the Battle of Qingxiang in the Northeast.
Zhao Guodong has followed Zhu Hongsan for more than 30 years, and has fought countless big and small battles, but today he didn't expect to turn his guns on His Majesty the Emperor, who has a great kindness to him.
If Zhao Guodong is not grateful to Zhu Hongsan, it is impossible, Zhao Guodong saw starving to death in the camp of exiles, it was Zhu Hongsan who gave him a bowl of rice to eat, and gave him such a prominent official position. However, it is not human nature to repay kindness, and selfishness is human nature.
In Zhu Hongsan's new army, it is divided into five factions, Qian Yong, Zhao Guodong, Wang Jinbao, Zhou Yu and Ma Kun, the latter three are supported by Zhu Hongsan to contain Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong, and the real bosses in the army are actually Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong.
This is also no way, Zhu Hongsan, as the emperor, has to play a balanced faction, and the army, a state violent organ, listens to the orders of one person, so Zhu Hongsan doesn't want to have another yellow robe after his death, so it has become a necessary means for Zhu Hongsan to plant spies in the army, cultivate henchmen, and provoke the relationship between Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong.
But in Zhao Guodong's view, this is not the case, Qian Yong has not fought a few battles since he started in Wuchang, and finally fought with the Manchu army in Jiangyin for half a month, but he suffered heavy losses, and the entire first division basically lost its combat effectiveness.
Next, Qian Yong became Zhu Hongsan's watchdog, and he kept staying in Guangdong without moving, even in the Northern Expedition, Qian Yong only followed Zhu Hongsan to fight a Nanjing Campaign, but in that Nanjing Campaign, Qian Yong was only a partial division, and the main battles were fought by Zhu Hongsan's Praetorian Guards.
Qian Yong, who was so defenseless, was ranked above Zhao Guodong when he was knighted by the founding of the People's Republic of China. At the knighthood ceremony, Jiang Peng was dissatisfied and drank too much to make a big fuss at the venue, but in fact, it was Zhao Guodong who had the most ideas in his heart.
It can be said that half of the land of the Ming Dynasty is now laid by the second division, but Zhao Guodong's knighthood is under Qian Yong! Since then, Zhao Guodong has had a complaint against Emperor Zhu Hongsan.
Zhao Guodong was not satisfied in his heart, but he was not stupid, he knew that although he had more than 200,000 soldiers, as long as the emperor issued a holy decree, he could get him into the edict of Jinyiwei, so Zhao Guodong buried this dissatisfaction deep in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it at all.
Although Zhao Guodong didn't dare to be dissatisfied, he had already had a mustard in his heart, and the next step was for someone to fan the flames.
This person who fanned the flames was the emperor's precious son Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, Zhu Hongsan was afraid that his son would become a useless waste, so the education of future generations was completely implemented according to their aptitude. The crown prince Zhu Hai, as the prince, is familiar with government affairs in Beijing and waits for Zhu Hongsan to take over, Zhu Jiang likes to go to the army if he likes to fight, and Zhu Huai goes to study if he likes to read.
Under Zhu Hongsan's educational methods, his sons are not completely waste, but with ability, they have ideas, what's wrong with your prince? Isn't it just a few years longer than other princes? Why are we ministers if you are the prince? Therefore, Zhu Hongsan's adult sons fought many times for that position, but under Zhu Hongsan's superb methods, they were all resolved one by one, and the status of the crown prince Zhu Hai was still in danger.
But as Zhu Hongsan got older and older, Zhu Jiang saw that the possibility of his peaceful succession was gone, so he had no choice but to take a risk when Zhu Hongsan left Beijing.
At this time, outside the gate of the Governor's Palace, Zhang Bao had already assembled with two thousand soldiers, but he couldn't wait for Zhao Guodong to come out.
Zhang Bao looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark, and the lights had begun to be lit in the south city, and it would be too late to wait, you must know that the cannons that Zhang Bao transported into the city were ambushed in the houses outside the palace, and Zhang Bao was afraid of changes after a long time.
Zhang Bao had no choice but to enter the governor's palace to find Zhao Guodong, Zhang Bao asked the governor's family to know that the master had been in the study since the afternoon and had not come out.
Zhang Bao came to the study and pushed open the door, and saw Zhao Guodong looking at the old military uniform and pondering, of course Zhang Bao recognized this military uniform, he was also from the teaching regiment back then. Zhang Bao saw that Zhao Guodong was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Taiwan, the time has come, let's do it!" ”
Zhao Guodong heard Zhang Bao come in and whispered: "Zhang Bao, do you say that you and I are going to take revenge for doing this?" ”
Zhang Bao hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Zhengtai, His Majesty the Emperor also has a great favor to the last general, but we are not doing this for our own selfish interests!" Lord Taiwan, look at how many of our brothers died when the People's Republic of China was founded? There are only forty-eight of the 200 people who came from the second phase of the teaching group at that time and the last general, and eleven of the thirty people from the first phase of the teaching group. The land that should be given is deducted from the hands of the brothers, and only 30% is left, and the brothers who died halfway are even worse. ”
"My lord still remembers that he and his younger brother Wu Chaofang and Wu Chaofang all sacrificed their lives for His Majesty, but what does it look like now? In order to avenge the four sons who were killed by King Yan, Mrs. Wu was trampled to death at the gate of Qinchaxingyuan, and after her death, the emperor did not punish King Yan at all, but only demoted the knighthood, and the other civil officials involved in the case did not have any! My lord, can you not look at your brother's death? ”
Everyone wants to shirk responsibility, and Zhao Guodong is not surprised, after all, he rebelled to arrest the emperor this time, no matter what King Qin said, a traitor is a traitor after all. But Zhang Bao's words made Zhao Guodong feel better, it turned out that he was not doing this for personal gain, but for thousands of brothers in the army.
Zhao Guodong stood up and kowtowed in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, please don't complain about the last general, the last general is all for the brothers not to be bullied by civilian officials!" ”
After Zhao Guodong kowtowed, his eyes no longer hesitated, but turned into perseverance. Zhao Guodong took off the governor's official uniform on his body, put on the gray and white military uniform in front of him and said: "Zhang Bao, when Lao Tzu was born and died in this military uniform, today is the last time, and he has become a natural prince Wandai, and it is better to die than to live under the oppression of civil officials!" ”
Zhang Bao was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Guodong's firm determination, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, King Qin's side has already made arrangements, and my lord will definitely be able to occupy the palace without blood!" ”
Zhao Guodong got dressed and took Zhang Bao to the gate of the governor's yamen, where two thousand soldiers had been waiting for a long time. These soldiers were stunned when they saw the governor come out in strange clothes, they had never seen this kind of gray and white clothes, but they were elite soldiers of the second division, and it was their nature to obey orders, so what clothes did the commander wear?
The four battalion commanders who came today all joined the army after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they have never seen this kind of early military uniform, if they come to the deputy commander of the second division or the senior regiment commander, they will definitely be able to find the difference between today's Governor Zhao.
Zhao Guodong looked at the neat 2,000 people, and said loudly: "Today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the Shenyang Mansion's subordinate officials and inspection department are not manpowered, so you follow the governor to inspect the periphery of the imperial city!" ”
The orders received by the four battalion commanders were also this, plus Zhang Bao, the commander of the second division, was also behind the governor, and these battalion commanders didn't think about anything else, and led the troops to follow behind the governor Zhao Guodong and start to act.
