Chapter 273: The Soldier Falls into His Arms
The nine gates of Beiping Mansion were seized, and a guard and horse of the Yan Wangfu in the city quickly occupied the Yamen of the Beiping Political Envoy and the Yamen of the Command Envoy, and took over the defense of the city gate.
In the pouring rain, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, as if the drill had been rehearsed many times, and within half an hour, all the yamen sent by the imperial court to Beiping were occupied by the Yan army, and the officials appointed by the imperial court, including the officials of the political envoy and even the yamen, the officials of the various Cao Dao and the Yandao Yamen were all arrested and imprisoned, and the high-ranking officials were promised from the Yan king, and those who did not obey were killed in prison.
The city of Beiping began to implement a curfew, and no official or ordinary person was allowed to go out at night, and the violators were beheaded, and the people of Beiping panicked and were silent, and a huge panic filled the city of Beiping. Everyone understands that King Yan has finally reversed, and Daming is about to change the sky.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, the day after the killing of Zhang Yu and Xie Gui, Zhu Di issued a notice in the city to calm the people, and gently comforted the people in the city not to panic.
Xiao Fan secretly placed in the Jinyiwei Liaison Office in Beiping City knew about this earth-shattering event when Zhu Neng captured the Nine Gates, and in the Jinyiwei Liaison Residence, several carrier pigeons flapped their wings and soared into the sky and flew south.
On March 12, it took three days, Zhu Di mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers of the Yan army, leaving 20,000 to guard the Shanhaiguan in case of northern Tartars, and the remaining 130,000 troops gathered outside the city of Beiping.
At the same time as more than 100,000 Yan troops were marching, Zhu Di's army was spread to all states and governments in the world through various channels.
Emperor Jianwen was said to be a mediocre king, young and naΓ―ve and ignorant, and only knew that he favored the ministers around him, such as Xiao Fan, Ru Yu, Qi Tai and the like, these ministers bullied the king, caused chaos in the court, separated the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, and harmed the loyalty and goodness of the court, causing turmoil in the world, and the court was full of miasma, so King Yan decided to use the army to admonish him, asking the Son of Heaven to kill the ministers, appoint meritocracy, and do not make the silver clouds and clouds...... In the text, Zhu Di repeatedly emphasized that he was not a rebellion, but for the side of the Qing monarch, as long as the Son of Heaven was willing to kill the ministers, he Zhu Di immediately quit the army, and tied his hands, and personally went to Beijing to ask the Son of Heaven for guilt, although he died without complaint.
This article is written by the monk Daoyan, and the whole article only says that the Son of Heaven was deceived by others, how [***] the court was, and how the King of Yan swallowed his anger, how many grievances he suffered, and finally was forced to have no way out by the annihilators, and he was forced to raise an army.
After reading the text, many indignant readers in the north were bewitched, and turned to scold the court and Xiao Fan, but they were full of sympathy and understanding for Zhu Di's rebellion.
On March 14, the 130,000 Yan army marched south, and the soldiers approached Juyong Pass.
Guarding Juyong Pass was a general soldier named Song Zhong.
This name is very unlucky, and it also dooms him to a tragic end.
At first glance, Song Zhong was shocked when he heard that King Yan had rebelled, and before he could confirm the true surname of the news, the 130,000 Yan army had already arrived at the pass, and now it seemed that there was no need to confirm the truth of the news.
After reacting, Song Zhong immediately sent people to report to the imperial court in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and then organized the defense of the defenders in Juyong Pass, but the Yan army was the division of tigers and wolves.
Song Zhong led the remnants to retreat to Huailai Mansion, and the Yan army won the first battle, and their morale soared, and they went straight to Huailai without pause.
Seeing that the momentum of the Yan army was like a rainbow, and they were advancing all the way, and the imperial court reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, the morale of the Huailai defenders was extremely low.
At this time, Song Zhong thought of a lie that was not very clever and could be said to be very lame, trying to boost the morale of the defenders.
He told the soldiers of the garrison whose families were in Beiping that King Yan had killed all their relatives, and why don't you pick up the sword in your hand and fight to kill the enemy and avenge the dead relatives?
When the Huailai defenders heard this, they were really angry, and everyone fought bravely without flinching.
It's a pity that the shrewd Zhu Di has already seen through Song Zhong's lies and came up with a way to deal with it, so when attacking Huailai City, Zhu Di ordered the relatives of the defenders to fight the forward, and shouted the names of the defenders' relatives in front of the battle.
The city of Huailai was in chaos, and when the defenders found out that their father, brothers, uncles and nephews were still alive and well, they were furious.
"My family is in trouble, and Mr. Song is bullying me!"
At present, the defenders have no fighting spirit, they have put down their weapons, opened the city gates, and went out of the city to find their relatives, and only heard the shouts of "father", "brother" and "younger brother" under the city wall.
The general trend has gone, Song Zhong was killed by the Yan army in the chaos, and Huailai Mansion was lost.
At the same time that the Yan army captured Huailai, several carrier pigeons flew into the Yamen of Fusi in Jinyi Wei Town, Jingshi.
Soon, an urgent military report with flying fish fire paint was placed on Xiao Fan's bookcase.
King Yan is reversed!
Xiao Fan's fingers trembled, his eyes were shocked, gloomy, and even a little panicked.
King Yan finally reversed, which was already expected by him, and he was even counting with his hands to count when King Yan would raise his army.
However, when the matter came, King Yan lived up to expectations and rebelled, but Xiao Fan felt a little panicked and afraid.
In fact, isn't this exactly what I expected? In the past two years, I have done so many things openly and secretly, just waiting for this day, this day has finally come, but why am I still afraid?
Xiao Fan is just like his name, he is just a mortal, he has seven emotions and six desires, he likes power, he likes silver, he likes beautiful women, he can't refuse most temptations, he is afraid of death, he is afraid of the battlefield, he is afraid of everything related to death and blood.
Xiao Fan is destined to be a mortal, even if he becomes a big official, he can't expect him to suddenly become invincible and fearless of death, this is unrealistic.
After cleaning up his mood, Xiao Fan gradually calmed down.
The current speed of information transmission is very slow, even if Jinyiwei's intelligence transmission is the fastest, the things mentioned in the intelligence are a few days ago, and so far, where did Zhu Di hit?
Xiao Fan didn't dare to hesitate and immediately entered the palace.
In the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Yunwen was cross-legged, holding an emerald green and crystal tea cup in his hand, and took a sip of tea comfortably while reading the notebook.
Bang!
Xiao Fan kicked open the door of the palace.
Zhu Yunwen trembled, and the hot tea in the teacup suddenly spilled on his crotch, which made him scream, and he hurriedly threw away the teacup in his hand, and then looked at Xiao Fan in horror inexplicably.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!" Xiao Fan said loudly, sweating slightly on his face.
Zhu Yunwen bared his teeth and covered his crotch, his face turned purple in pain, and he said with difficulty: "I ...... Something big is wrong! β
"What happened to Your Majesty?"
"There is a major event related to the society of the country, and the root of my life ......"
Xiao Fan was shocked when he saw Zhu Yunwen breaking out in a cold sweat of pain: "It's really a big deal!" Minister...... Guilty! β
"You're so guilty...... If I don't have a life, I have to castrate you into the palace to accompany ......me," Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said.
Xiao Fan's face was full of concern: "Your Majesty...... It hurts, right? β
"You boil the kettle and pour it on yourself!"
"Do you want to help you...... Ah, no, do you want to call a palace maid to blow it for you? β
"Does blowing work?"
"Saliva can reduce swelling, Your Majesty."
"This thing can be ...... Wait a minute, you just said something big, what's wrong? β
Xiao Fan was shocked, regained his anxious expression, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good, King Yan...... It's the other way around! β
Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly widened, his face became pale, and he was silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty...... Let me have my say. Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yunwen's appearance, something was not quite right.
After a long time, Zhu Yunwen's face was like earth, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You said that King Yan is ...... He ......"
"King Yan is reversed!"
Syllable!
Zhu Yunwen's legs were weak, and he slowly slipped from the chair to the ground.
Xiao Fan hurriedly reached out and helped him up.
Zhu Yunwen sat on the chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after a long time, Zhu Yunwen suddenly shook his spirit, and said in shock: "King Yan is reversed?" Is King Yan really the opposite? β
Xiao Fan's face was heavy: "The minister just received a message from Jinyi Wei Feige, on the ninth day of the first month of March, King Yan killed Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Xie Gui, the deputy envoy of Beiping, captured the nine gates of Beiping, and raised more than 100,000 troops, and the rebels were said to be opened, pointing directly to Juyong Pass, and now it is said that even Huailai Mansion has been captured by him......"
Zhu Yunwen was in a cold sweat, his pale face couldn't stop twitching, he took a deep breath, Zhu Yunwen grinned, and suddenly cried like a child.
"King Yan...... Fourth Emperor Uncle, do you really want to rebel? What am I sorry for you? You have braved the condemnation of the world, raised more than 100,000 troops, and created a rebellion against ......."
"Your Majesty, don't cry, King Yan rebelled, in fact, you and I have already prepared, we all know that he will rebel sooner or later, the matter has come to this, Your Majesty should now cheer up and come up with measures to deal with it as soon as possible, select generals to transfer troops, and suppress King Yan's rebellion."
Zhu Yunwen trembled, as if he was holding a life-saving straw, grabbed Xiao Fan's sleeve tightly, and said in a panic: "Xiao waiter read, Xiao waiter read!" What should I do? How can I suppress him? How did the imperial court respond? β
Xiao Fan sighed secretly, after all, it has been less than a year since he ascended the throne, Zhu Yunwen is still too young, and he has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing at all.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen's tearful appearance, Xiao Fan sighed and said, "How to deal with it depends on Your Majesty's determination." β
"What do you mean by that?"
"If Your Majesty just wants to keep your own surname, this thing is too easy to do, the court doesn't have to do anything, as long as Your Majesty digs a tunnel under your dormitory that leads directly to the outside of the city, in case the court can't beat King Yan one day, Your Majesty just needs to drill into the tunnel, pat your ass and leave, no one can stop you, and then the minister also wants to touch Your Majesty's light, and run away with your family ...... with you."
Silent...... After a long time, Zhu Yunwen said quietly: "Xiao Shiyu, at this time, can you be serious?" Is there a more proactive approach? β
"It seems that His Majesty is reluctant to flee in the wilderness, the minister is very pleased, the way to deal with it, the minister has thought of a few points for the time being."
"Speak quickly!"
After settling down, Xiao Fan straightened out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "First, immediately convene a court meeting of the ministers and tell everyone about King Yan's rebellion, such a big thing can't be hidden, it is better for His Majesty to tell him personally, and the ministers should be mentally prepared in advance." β
"What else?"
"Second, all rebellions, there are certain righteous reasons, in order to win the hearts of the people of the world, these reasons must be written on their inscriptions, I believe that in a few days will soon be transmitted to the Beijing Division, since ancient times the name is not right, the words are not good, the court must also come up with a rebellion as soon as possible, before that, Your Majesty should worship the ancestral temple, pass the order of the Zongren Mansion, remove the prince of the King of Yan, and declare his rebellious identity to the world."
"Third, Guo Ying, who passed the edict to the Daimyo's Mansion, ordered him to lead 80,000 soldiers under his command to block the way of King Yan's south, Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen are as good at defending and not attacking as well, so he is only allowed to hold on, and he cannot be allowed to take the initiative to attack, otherwise the court will suffer a big loss, His Majesty told Guo Ying that as long as he holds the Daimyo's Mansion, it will be a great achievement."
"Fourth, while Guo Ying was defending, the imperial court quickly mobilized all guards and thousands of households, and ordered them to assemble on the north bank of the Yangtze River to stand by, the Ministry of Works to build bridges, the Ministry of Households to raise food, and the Ministry of War to transfer ordnance and distribute it to the hands of the sergeants as soon as possible."
"The fifth is the most important, the imperial court must quickly decide on a general military officer who commands the army, and as a commander, he must choose a person who can be civil and martial, brave and strategic, so that the three militaries can use their lives. This matter is very important, the commander is incompetent, and the three armies will be killed, so you can't be hasty. β
With Xiao Fan's slow pace of speech, a seemingly tricky change was cleared up by him, and Zhu Yunwen's emotions gradually calmed down.
"Xiao Shi reads what he said, I agree, without further ado, hurry up and do it."
After the panic, Zhu Yunwen even had a faint look of confidence on his face.
King Yan only has more than 100,000 rebels, I have a great tomorrow, and the court has millions of soldiers. Got it the other way around, right? It should be the king of Yan who should be in a hurry!
Xiao Fan bowed and said: "Then, the minister will order someone to convene a court meeting of the ministers, Your Majesty, please move to Fengtian Palace." β
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said with some embarrassment: "This ...... Wait a minute, I was scared by you just now, my pants are wet, and I have a little urgency......"
Xiao Fan sighed gloomily, no matter how this guy looks, he looks like a king of a dead country...... Stomping his feet heavily, Xiao Fan said angrily: "What are you urinating at this time?" Let's go to the court meeting! You can't bear it anymore? It's never too late to pee after the rebellion of King Yan is put down! β
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth wide: "............"
"Okay, you pee first, it's not bad for this pee."
ββ¦β¦ Thank you for being reasonable. β
