The fighting in Anqing Province did not progress as quickly as expected.
Zhang Tianlu did not surrender, Zhai Zhe did not rush to attack, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Anqing City. General Pingyu's messenger went to the Yinghuo Mountains to gather the rebel army, where the command of Yuan Zuo Liangyu was active. After Zuo Liangyu's death, the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were scattered everywhere like dandelion seeds. Some people took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, some fled and dispersed, and many people raised the banner of righteousness against the Qing Dynasty.
After Liu Suifeng sent the news of Huguang, Zhai Zhe had a general understanding of He Tengjiao's attitude.
At the beginning of April, Zhai Zhe, the general of Pinglu, wrote to the imperial court, asking Emperor Longwu to order He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, to lead his army eastward and attack Huguang with Jiangnan soldiers and horses.
Before going on the expedition, Zhai Zhe didn't want to persecute He Tengjiao too much, after all, Huguang was newly defeated, and he could also understand He Tengjiao's difficulties. But now he had to do this, the holy decree is not good in some places, but it still works in some places.
He Tengjiao can't cover the sky in Huguang with one hand.
The cabinet discussed for a long time and reached an agreement, and Ma Shiying personally drafted the recital, and asked Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, to give an order. Ma Shiying guessed Emperor Longwu's thoughts, but only said that he would ask He Tengjiao to go east and cooperate with the general Zhai Zhe to attack Huguang, and did not decide who would be the commander.
The fold is handed over, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Zhu Yujian did not approve or refute it, and the matter dragged on like this.
If it was a year ago, Zhu Yujian would not hesitate to make this will. However, after Zhu Dadian was brought home due to the scientific research fraud case, and Zhai Zhe's cabinet authorized the governors of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, there was a greater threat in front of him than the Qing Dynasty.
He's ambivalent.
Huguang must no longer fall into the hands of Zhai Zhe, otherwise, every qiē will lose control.
The cabinet is like a pool of stagnant water, and a stone thrown into it will not bubble.
Ma Shiying's recital was brought up, which can be regarded as an explanation to Zhai Zhe, the matter is stuck with the emperor, and he has no need to force Emperor Longwu to die. What's more, he came to power because of Zhai Zhe's support, but he didn't want to see Zhai Zhe's power swell too much. He sat in the position of the assistant, and he had reached the extreme point of the minister, and now he was thinking about expanding the authority of the assistant, not just being limited to Yingtianfu.
The atmosphere here is unprecedentedly dignified.
Zong Mao put down all the work at hand.
He cooperated with Chen Zilongci on an equal footing for one thing, that is, to let the emperor order He Tengjiao to go east. Zhai Zhe couldn't get out of Anqing City, so the matter was in the hands of these two people.
On April 3, Xu Fuyuan played a concert in the middle of the incident, impeaching He Tengjiao for the crime of defeat, requesting the dismissal of He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and asking the governor to block Yinxi to take charge of the war in Huguang. Xu Fuyuan is a scholar of several societies, and only Chen Zilong can say that he can be moved.
Zhai Zhe was warning Zhu Yujian that he would either give an order to let He Tengjiao go east, or not let him sit in that position safely. He Tengjiao's incompetent deeds began to spread in Jiangnan, and Zhang Guowei, a cabinet scholar, asked for advice on He Tengjiao's crime.
On April 6, Chen Zilong, the left attendant of the Zhejiang Governor's Army, asked for the crime of Huguang's defeat.
Zong Mao arrived in Nanjing, and asked for a meeting with the cabinet assistant Ma Shiying. He is still a talent in the Datong examination seven years ago, and he does not have an official position in the imperial court, but he has no stage fright when he walks in the cabinet auxiliary mansion.
However, Ma Shiying was very polite and ordered the servants to watch from the sidelines.
Zong Mao went straight in and said, "I'm here today just for one thing!" The general's meaning is that this holy decree must be issued! ”
His tone is very arrogant, Ma Shiying doesn't like it very much, he is a cabinet assistant in the end, and Zhai Zhe will also do some superficial work in front of him.
"I read the general's letter, but His Majesty has not issued an order, and I can't help it!"
Zong Mao shook his head, "His Majesty is shirking, but the military situation can't be delayed." ”
Ma Shiying's face sank and said, "I can't help it." ”
"Makkobu!" Zong Mao didn't laugh angrily, "You really can't see who Jiangnan is today?" Whose world is it today? ”
His words almost shocked Ma Shiying's eyes. These words can only be discussed behind the scenes, and who dares to say them in public, even in front of the cabinet assistants.
His face sank, and he said, "Sect Master, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for the reputation of the great general to spread it!" ”
Zong Mao laughed, "There are only you and me today, how can it be spread." Ma Gebu, I know that you are a rare heroic hero among the literati. When Zhang Pu died, only you did the funeral for him; Zhou Yanru's descendants, only the general and you can still reach out to help. Then you should know how you got into this auxiliary position when Jiangnan Shizi and Donglin Party were opposed to you. ”
Ma Shiying's tone became stern and said, "General Zhai has a great favor to me, there is no need to say more, but this is the imperial court!" ”
"Isn't the general for the court?" Zong Mao's tone softened, "This holy decree is related to the success or failure of the Huguang battle, if Huguang does not progress well, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit still in the auxiliary position." ”
Ma Shiying's heart jumped, looking at the arrogant young man in front of him, he suddenly thought, "Is this what Zhai Zhe meant?" ”
In Zong Mao's eyes, the cabinet in Nanjing City, and even the emperor are just puppets, and it is inevitable for the general to call the emperor an inevitable end. There are many people in the army who think this way, and Zong Mao used his position as the head of the general's mansion to reunite some such people in the surrounding area.
"What should I do?" Ma Shiying's tone softened.
"Please put pressure on His Majesty again!"
"But His Majesty can still ignore it."
"I have my own way!"
Zong Mao said goodbye and left, and Ma Shiying felt uneasy.
There was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition because of He Tengjiao's matter, and Zhu Yujian simply did not go to the court and hid in the palace and did not come out. He was very angry, but this matter was He Tengjiao's fault, but he wanted to let Zhai Zhe know that he was not a puppet of General Pingyu.
Four or five days passed, and an explosive news spread from eastern Zhejiang to Nanjing, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, arrived in Hangzhou from Taizhou.
Last year, when Zhai Zhe wore the anti-shaving inscription in Jiangnan, the name of King Lu was praised everywhere. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, many squires immediately came to pay his respects.
A few days later, news came from Hangzhou that Zhu Yihai was going to Nanjing to pay homage to the Ming Tomb.
Ma Shiying panicked, and Chen Zilong panicked. Zhu Yihai went north along the canal and received Zhang Mingzhen's visit at the boundary of Songjiang. The group went straight to Nanjing City.
Some courtiers immediately played impeachment, and Zhu Yihai violated the ancestral system and left the fiefdom without authorization.
Emperor Longwu finally came forward and ordered Xiao Zhiyan, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, and Zheng Sen to send troops to arrest Zhu Yihai. After Xiao Zhiyan and Zheng Sen discussed, the two of them each sent 500 soldiers to intercept them on the way. Xiao Zhiyan didn't know if this was what Zhai Zhe meant, so he urgently ordered a messenger to ask An Qing for instructions.
When Zhu Yihai arrived at the boundary of Songjiang, he stopped moving, he wanted to enter Nanjing, but he couldn't help himself.
