Chapter 634: Departure for Beijing

Successes are different, but failures are more or less the same.

Min Twenty-four was defeated, the defeat was very miserable, the fire rose to the sky, the smoke billowed on Poyang Lake, and countless lives were lost forever in the smoke, and they exchanged the price of their lives for a faint stroke in the history books, and named them "thieves".

It can be seen how important it is to read, if Min Twenty-four paid one or two taels of silver to buy a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before the war, or asked someone who had read books in the army to read him a paragraph of how the Sun and Liu coalition fought the Chibi War a thousand years ago, I believe that the result must be different, but anyone with a little brain would not do such a self-defeating thing.

If anyone wants to die, he will not be able to stop him.

The firelight reflected half of the sky of Poyang Lake, as if the sky was lit up, countless screams and cries were intertwined, and in the skyrocketing fire, the long-awaited imperial navy launched an offensive, and the locust-like arrow rain poured out towards the enemy ships on fire, and the guns on the ships also roared in due time, adding to the enemy troops struggling in the fire.

Countless anti-army sergeants were burned alive and burned to ashes along with the ships, some jumped into the lake in desperation, and some were shot directly by the arrows that rained down from the sky......

The war was fierce, and once it began, it could not be stopped, and the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and the lives of both their own and the enemy's were disregarded.

The fire burned more and more by the wind, and the ships of the anti-thief navy had been burned to five or six out of ten, and when the anti-thief master Min Twenty-four fled in a panic between the ships, he was pierced by a cold arrow from an oblique thorn, and his burly body fell into the sea of fire. Reduced to ashes with the ship.

More than 150 years ago, still on this Poyang Lake, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang fought a decisive battle with Chen Youliang, the biggest old enemy in his life, and determined the ownership of the country with the victory or defeat of the first battle.

Now it is still on Poyang Lake, and the elite soldiers under the command of Emperor Zhengde will annihilate Zhu Chenhao's most reluctant rebel force with the strength of lions fighting rabbits.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 people were burned and drowned by the anti-thief army, and the rest were all surrendered, and a very small number fled.

On the twenty-ninth day of October in the third year of Zhengde, the dust settled on the rebellion of King Ning, which had been noisy for three months, and Zhu Chenhao was defeated.

A victory is a victory, but the aftermath continues.

First of all, it is necessary to salvage the wreckage and corpses of ships on Poyang Lake. The next thing is that the factory guard is busy. Qin Kan and Dai Yi and Zhang Yong, who were far away in Beijing, gave an order, and the huge state machinery of Jinyiwei and the East and West No. 2 Factory was quickly put into operation, and those escaped thieves thought that they could treat it as if anything could happen if they threw away their weapons and ran away with their heads in their hands. It couldn't be more wrong. Dare to pick up weapons to make the court rebel. must bear the consequences and pay the price, the factory guards ride the world, and the heavens and the earth will also pull these people out and cut them down.

Meanwhile. In addition to assessing the political performance and the voice of the people, it is more important to verify whether the officials in Jiangxi surrendered to the thieves or abandoned the scum of the people who abandoned the city and fled after Zhu Chenhao rebelled.

Taking advantage of the great victory of Wang Shi, Jiangxi officialdom is also facing a complete liquidation and reshuffle.

On the fifth day after the victory in the Poyang Lake Water Battle, the three scholars of the Beijing Cabinet sent a fast horse out of Beijing to invite the emperor to return to Beijing on behalf of the Manchu Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao's first reaction when he saw Song Shu was to crumple it up and throw it away.

Everyone seems to know what kind of character Zhu Houzhao is, the urging of the cabinet scholars is not as simple as casually sending one, but one letter a day, the tone of the rhetoric on the note is getting more and more urgent, more and more lengthy, longer than the footcloth of the mother-in-law, and the person who sent the music is the imperial history of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial history of this category of people is recognized by the court as the second stick, this kind of person is not only not afraid of offending the emperor, but also often deliberately provokes the emperor, and it is simply dereliction of duty to say to the emperor once and not mix a few court staffs, I'm embarrassed to say hello when I go out.

The imperial historians were very patient, and they came all the way from Nanjing, whether Zhu Houzhao wanted it or not, and in front of him, he recited in a low voice the recital of the cabinet scholars asking the class teachers to return to Beijing, once a day, more punctual than taking medicine.

Zhu Houzhao is going crazy, these stalks on the neck for fear of not being beaten up by the cheap imperial historians have a seizure again, the monarch and the minister spent four or five days, Zhu Houzhao finally chose to compromise, he can't help but compromise, Tang Seng recited the hoop mantra to Sun Monkey is probably like this.

So Zhu Houzhao finally issued an order, Anqing set off for the camp, and the class returned to Beijing.

*******************************************************************

The army set off from the camp, dozens of miles of mighty and mighty without seeing the beginning and the end, Zhu Houzhao rode in the middle of the team, and reluctantly looked back as he walked.

Qin Kan turned his horse's head and moved closer to Zhu Houzhao, and said with a smile: "King Ning's rebellion has been quickly quelled by His Majesty's Majesty, how can His Majesty's appearance be unfinished?" ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "Isn't it unfinished? How pleasant it is to be in the outside to calm the chaos and beg the thieves, the unrestrained days are over, when I think of returning to the capital every day to sit dry on the golden palace, listening to those ministers Rory and verbose, I coughed twice and there were countless impeachment and scolding coming to my face, some people scolded me when I said a word, and some people scolded me for doing anything, and when I entered the Beijing Division, I seemed to be bound by countless ropes, and I was no longer happy. ”

The tone of loss paused, and then Zhu Houzhao changed to an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and said angrily: "Why don't you say that Zhu Chenhao, a traitor, doesn't hold on for a few more days?" The idea of rebellion has been planned for hundreds of years, and it has created such a situation, as the folk saying goes, 'it is a mule or a horse that is led out for a walk', this Zhu Chenhao is really a mule who is not angry, how did the Zhu family come out with such a No. 1 thing, and I flattened him in just two or three months, it's just a waste! ”

Qin Kan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, there is no doubt that this is another typical faint quotation.

"Your Majesty...... His majesty is mighty. Qin Kan had no choice but to send a dry and unconvincing sycophant.

Zhu Houzhao glared at him, pouted and said: "It's not mighty at all, I'm still worried, King Ning's rebellion has indeed been pacified, on the surface, the imperial court and the prince have won a complete victory, and it took quite a short time, but in fact?" I drove the expedition in person, Wang Shi did not arrive in Anqing, and the battle situation in Jiangxi was all supported by Wang Shouren, not only holding on to Jiujiang Mansion for more than a month, but also going deep behind the enemy to collect stragglers, and raiding Nanchang, the old nest of the enemy chieftain, and also, does the capture of Zhu Chenhao really have anything to do with me? In the water battle of Poyang Lake, the anti-thief master will be stupid into that virtue, am I embarrassed to show it? The only thing worthy of praise is the decisive battle of Anqing, but in that battle, I led more than a thousand guards to risk charging into battle to kill thieves, and this matter spread to the Beijing Division, would the Manchu Dynasty civil and military praise me for being a brave and warlike emperor? I didn't expect their dogs to spit ivory out of their mouths. ”

Qin Kan wants to laugh, Xiao Dujun is actually very smart, he has been on the throne for three years, he can also guess the political wind direction in the court, the rebellion of the king of Pingning, Jiangxi, on the surface, it seems to be a complete victory, but politics is as dirty as people's hearts, it is obviously the result of a big victory, and when he returned to Beijing, he was distorted by those civil officials, and this big victory may not become something in their mouths, it is certain that the civil officials will definitely not praise Zhu Houzhao for doing a good job, in order to prevent the emperor from leaving Beijing again to conquer in person, even if it is a big victory, they will do their best to turn white into black.

Originally, Qin Kan wanted to find an opportunity to remind Zhu Houzhao and let him be mentally prepared, but at this time, seeing that Zhu Houzhao's heart was like a mirror, Qin Kan didn't say anything more.

"It's rare for His Majesty to be so self-aware, the minister is the Daming Society, the so-called shame is almost brave, Lao Tzu said: 'Those who know people are wise, and those who know themselves are clear', and the good is also ......"

Qin Kan sent another sycophant that even Zhu Houzhao hesitated and didn't know whether it was praise or loss, the more Zhu Houzhao listened, the more he didn't taste it, he waved his hand and sighed: "Stop, Qin Kan, what I said just now is just self-humility, you don't need to respond too seriously, even if you want to respond, you should be brave to refute me, and then tell me loudly, in fact, I am wrong, I am a rare wise emperor throughout the ages, Wen can argue with Confucianism, Wu Ke is the world, there are only three most wise emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu, Yongle...... and me. ”

Although Zhu Houzhao's face was not ordinarily thick, Qin Kan was still deeply shocked by these cheeky words.

His eyes were wide and he stared at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and after not knowing how long it took, Qin Kan turned his head resolutely and sighed: "Minister...... Minister......"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him hopefully, his eyes full of encouragement.

"After the minister goes, the army supervises the transportation of grain and grass, and the minister retires!"

…………

…………

The army set out from Anqing and arrived in Nanjing five days later. As usual, officials from the six ministries in Nanjing rushed to meet with each other, and the purpose of these ministers was obviously not to sing praises of merit, but to urge Zhu Houzhao not to stay in Nanjing for a long time, and that the country should not be left without an owner for a day.

This persuasion angered Zhu Houzhao, he was originally a teenager, and if he said it well, it was a rebellious period for teenagers, and if he said it badly, he would have a strong donkey temper, and he would not leave, and he would go backwards.

A group of ministers asked him to leave on the same day, Zhu Houzhao simply fell on the dragon couch, he was sick, very sick, he couldn't see the light or water, especially he couldn't travel far, this symptom was not very appropriate, and insiders would understand that this was rabies.
