Chapter 333: Past Life and Present Life, Jiang Bin's Battle
According to the history books, Zhengde's death was because Jiang Bin planned to rebel, so he killed Zhengde.
When he was in elementary school, if the history teacher said this, Xie Hong believed it. It's like a fairy tale where the prince kills the demon king, and then whether it's the prince or the demon king, whoever wins can get the princess. Jiang Bin wants to be the emperor, the only obstacle is Zhengde, as long as the emperor is killed, he can become the new emperor, this statement basically follows this kind of divine logic.
This kind of logic can only deceive primary school students, and it is a primary school student in the 80s, when the amount of information was relatively small and it was easier to deceive. If it were changed to the era before Xie Hong crossed over, this would probably only be able to deceive the children who did not go to kindergarten.
Is it possible? In the last years of Zhengde, Jiang Bin's status was a bit similar to the current Xie Hong, of course, compared to Xie Hong, his holy family was definitely inferior. But even if Xie Hong wants to be the emperor now, it is impossible to do anything to Zhengde, without Zhengde as a backer, the anger of the scholars and doctors will destroy him in an instant, not to mention Jiang Bin, a pure martial artist?
It was purely an accident to let Zhengde's team charge, he was eager to try, and Xie Hong couldn't stop it if he wanted to. And at that time, a lot of security measures were also done, there were at least ten catchers around Zhu Houzhao raising shields, and there were even big black ones to attract hatred, overall it was not a big problem, it was not that Xie Hong didn't care about the emperor's surname.
In fact, in all dynasties, the most afraid of the emperor's problems are the close ministers of the Son of Heaven like Jiang Bin, without the emperor, they are nothing, how can they not worry about the emperor? Unless he was bribed by outsiders, it was impossible for these close ministers to murder the emperor, including Jiang Bin and Xie Hong himself.
Therefore, Jiang Bin's rebellion is a very nonsense thing, if you look at the situation at that time, what the facts are, in fact, it is also clear at a glance.
At that time, Zhengde returned to the capital from Jiangnan, and it is said that he fell into the water, so he was very ill, so he returned to the capital in desperation, but is this true?
It's weird to have to travel long distances when you're sick, and if there is no doctor in a place like Jiangnan, can't you treat it on the spot? Even if he doesn't, with Zhengde's spleen surname, can a little illness make him give up playing in Jiangnan and return to the cage-like Forbidden City?
With Xie Hong's understanding of Zhengde, he didn't believe it. Therefore, he can be sure that something must have happened at that time, or that Zhengde had lost consciousness and could not be autonomous; Or something happened in the capital that had to be dealt with by him, such as something related to the Queen Mother, yes or something else.
After returning to the capital, as soon as Zhengde entered the imperial city with his front foot, the outer court colluded with the inner court to block the imperial city, and the connection between Jiang Bin and Zhengde was completely cut off, exactly the same as Xie Hong's this time. There are only three differences:
First, there are different people who collude inside and outside. Now it is Wang Yue who colludes with the outer court, but it is Zhang Yong who colludes with the outer court at that time. Wang Yue is a foreign enemy, and Xie Hong has always been on guard against him; But Zhang Yong is an internal annihilation, Jiang Bin and Zhengde in his previous life may not be wary of him at all, and it is likely that it is because of this that Zhengde will be secretly calculated by the outer court.
In addition, Jiang Bin's strength is relatively strong, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, all of whom have fought with the Tartars and finally won the victory; And Xie Hong only has 4,000 people in his hands, and 3,000 are boy scouts.
But Jiang Bin didn't have any preparation in advance, although he was a little resourceful, but as a powerful minister, he was actually very unqualified, he was just a pure martial artist. It wasn't until Zhengde entered the imperial city and the imperial city was blocked that he realized the coming crisis, but it was too late at that time, and he could only sigh at the high walls of the imperial city.
But Xie Hong is different, he has a staff officer, and he has expected it in his heart, and he has made many plans for this, including a series of preparations such as military training, all for this day.
Whether there is preparation or not is definitely different, just as the final ending of the two is also very different.
Although Jiang Bin's soldiers were strong and strong, and his strength was enough to overwhelm the capital, but he did not have Zhengde by his side, and as a result, he did not even dare to raise troops, and finally found that Zhengde had died, and he was desperate, so he could only dismiss his cronies and flee separately, and finally was wanted by the foreign dynasty all over the world, and ended in tragedy.
And Xie Hong successfully grabbed the lead, held high the Yellow Dragon Banner, broke through the Xihua Gate, went straight to the Forbidden City, and used psychological warfare to subdue the forbidden army. The strength in his hands is not even one-tenth of that of Jiang Bin in his previous life, but everything is so smooth.
It is because of Jiang Bin's experience that Xie Hong's plan is very thorough, and he dug a tunnel leading to Xiyuan in advance, in order to prevent Zhengde from being confined.
As long as there is Zhengde on his side, even if the strength is insufficient, it can be made up, if not, it is really a tragedy, Shenma psychological warfare, Shenma inverted bead curtains, it is impossible.
Without Zhengde, even if he blows up the Xihua Gate, the forbidden army of the warrior camp will fight to the death; And the men and horses of Teng Xiang's right guard will not collapse when the reinforcements arrive, but these three men and horses are enough to resist the guards, so is it possible to be as powerful as now, and quickly lay the overall situation?
Fundamentally speaking, the difference between Jiang Bin in the previous life and Xie Hong today is a tunnel, if Jiang Bin also had such a tunnel at that time, then history would definitely be rewritten.
But he didn't, and therefore he was tragic, not because he wanted to rebel or not, but because he simply couldn't. Don't look at the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but as long as he dares to give the order to attack the imperial city, most of the soldiers and horses under his command will disappear immediately, and the rest are also demoralized, and it is absolutely impossible to capture the imperial city.
With Jiang Bin's reference, Xie Hong would dig tunnels in advance, and even before the situation became sinister, he had already begun to plan.
Moreover, in order to ensure everything, he dug all the places he could, Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace, Kunning Palace...... As long as the palaces that his engineering team has visited, there are authentic existences. If Zhengde hadn't taken care of his old feelings and went to Qianqing Palace to pick up Ma Yongcheng, he could have disappeared directly from Kunning Palace.
Xie Hong's purpose is to prevent the enemy from repeating his old tricks, just like in his previous life, he plotted against Zhengde Jiang Bin, the inner court and the outer court should cooperate with the outside, confine Zhengde, and then concentrate on dealing with himself. This is the foresight that he made Wang Yue puzzled and Zhengde admired.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only guards in hand, psychological warfare would have to be used to achieve victory, and Xie Hong even wanted to use these tunnels to decapitate Wang Yue, but unfortunately, only the border army was suitable for carrying out such special operations, and the guards could only rely on the strength of the group.
“…… Anyway, I'm just afraid that someone will lock you up, so I prepared these methods. Xie Hong hid the content about his previous life, analyzed the situation for a while, and after some nonsense, he concluded.
"That's right! Big brother, you are so good to me. ”
Zhu Houzhao has been uninhibited and indulgent all his life, and what he loves most is freedom, and he is very grateful when he hears Xie Hong's words. Thinking about Wang Yue and the ministers of the outer court, he was even more resentful: "This gang of chaotic ministers and thieves actually want to take the opportunity of the big wedding to lock me up, it's really unusual, especially Wang Yue, an old horseman!" ”
Zhengde looked up at the blood flag, and snorted coldly: "I murdered my father first, and then I plotted against me, and at the end of the road, I even came to Cining Palace to kidnap my mother...... If I don't break the old puppet into thousands of pieces, it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”
After thinking about it, he turned to Xie Hong again and asked, "Big brother, did you even think in advance that they wanted to take the opportunity of the big wedding to make trouble in advance?" Otherwise, how could we be so good to the queen and let her cooperate with our actions? I originally thought that I could only knock her out if I wanted to get out, but she was quite cooperative, and even agreed to help Yongfu persuade her mother, she is really a good girl. ”
Knocking the bride unconscious on her wedding night? I'm rubbing, you still have this violent tendency after a long time, it can't be the sequelae of playing baseball too much, right? Xie Hong shook his head and said, "Actually, Queen Xia is also quite righteous, as long as it is your second brother's business, she will help......"
This matter can only be said to be wrong, Xie Hongken helped Queen Xia, firstly, out of sympathy for what happened to this girl in her previous life, and secondly, because he misestimated the situation at the beginning, thinking that this would delay time, but the result was ...... Well, it's a good retribution. Empress Xia was very cooperative in this operation and played a rather positive role.
"Cining Palace has arrived, Gonggong Ma reported that Wang Yue and Li Zhong have been caught, second brother, you go and take care of them, I will go to meet Gonggong Gu first, the Ordnance Division is still fighting, it is our root, and we must not lose it." In addition, let the third brother command the guards to sweep the palace ban and quell the chaos. ”
While speaking, he had already arrived in front of Cining Palace, Xie Hong looked to the east, and saw a long dragon composed of torches marching in the direction of the noon gate, knowing that the forbidden army had been dispatched, he thought about the battle situation of the Ordnance Division, and wanted to go to converge.
"Okay, big brother, you go by yourself, when I take care of Wang Yue's old horseman, let's settle accounts with the others when we go back!" Zhengde responded with murderous spirit.
If he was in the past, he would definitely not miss such a lively Zhengde, but at this time, his heart was already full of hatred, how did his father die? If it was really killed, who were the participants? He was impatient to find out, so he didn't say much, and entered the Cining Palace with a few guards.
Regarding the eternal mystery of Hongzhi's death, Xie Hong was originally a little curious, and with his relationship with Zhengde, he was not afraid to listen to it. However, at this time, the shouts and guns in the direction of the Ordnance Division were all shocking to the sky, and they could be heard clearly in the Forbidden City, which had calmed down, in such a situation, where could he still care about gossip?
After meeting the returning monkeys and others, and bringing a team of pitchers from the Guards, Xie Hong also hurried to the noon gate. In the Ordnance Division, including the inclined parapet wall against artillery bombardment, he also prepared a lot of means, but whether he can defend it in the end depends on the defenders.
Traveling all the way, Xie Hong raised his eyes from time to time to look south, the location of the Ordnance Division was in flames, the sound of killing was like a tide, obviously the battle was very fierce, he silently thought in his heart: Brother Jiang, in your previous life, you didn't even have a chance to fight to the death, today, don't let me down!
