Zhu Youcheng didn't think about it, and said: "The interests are enough." ↖ ↖ ↖ ↖ To put it bluntly, for careerists, with fifty percent of the benefits, they will take risks; With double the benefits, you dare to trample on the laws of the Ming Dynasty; With three times the benefits, you dare to risk the extinction of your own family! ”

This sentence is adapted from the famous words of the later German philosopher Marx, and it is also very appropriate for careerists.

Fu Zonglong's eyebrows jumped, he had naturally heard of Zhu Youcheng's name, but he had always regarded him as the emperor's courtier, and he looked down on him a little. Now when I hear Zhu Youcheng's words, I can't help but look at him with admiration. It seems that this kid does have some knowledge, and he is not entirely dependent on the flattering lord to ascend to the throne.

Cai Fuyi chewed on Zhu Youcheng's words and nodded frequently.

Wang Yan and Zhang Xianglong are even more sycophant.

King Xin picked up the pen on the table, and while recording it, he said, "Brother Cheng is so reasonable, I will write it down and show it to the emperor's brother when the time comes." ”

Fu Zonglong said: "Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou, and the capture of Guiyang is of great political significance." However, An Bangyan values profit over righteousness, and I'm afraid he won't gamble for this name. ”

Zhu Youcheng didn't speak, and King Xin interjected: "The current Guiyang has much more benefits for the thieves than before. Not to mention the high-ranking officials who live in Guiyang Mansion, all of them are feudal officials, with high and powerful positions, just talking about two people is enough to make him crazy. ”

King Xin pointed at himself, and then at Zhu Youcheng, and said proudly: "Of course, one is this king." Lone is the king of letters, the emperor's younger brother, and can be said to be the most important prince today. The other is Brother Cheng, who is also the emperor's younger brother. Brother Cheng is a scholar of Longtuge University, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the secretary of the Daming School of Administration, the secretary of the Daming Military Academy, and the commander of the Daming Jinyi Guard. You said that with the two of us here, will the thieves fight desperately to attack the city? ”

To be honest, King Xin's tone and expression are really annoying, if it weren't for his status as a prince, it is estimated that Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong would rush up and beat him violently. Maybe even Wang Yan and Zhang Xianglong will come over to make up for the two feet, and several people said in their hearts: "You still know this, then you still rushed to Guizhou." If you don't come, where will An Bangyan have the ability to gather 200,000 rebels? Are you here to add to the chaos or to put down the rebellion? ”

Zhu Youcheng smiled faintly and said, "The Yi people of Yunguichuan have long been disobedient. It turned out to be just a fear of the prestige of the imperial court, and it had to wait for her, but now I see that the Ming border is in trouble, so I take advantage of the fire to rob. There is Banzhou Yang Yinglong in the front, Yongning luxury Chongming in the back, and then in Shuishui An Bangyan, with these three initiators, will there be responders in the future? Hardly. In the past, Guizhou, although it was peaceful. But the sores of the rebellion are creeping in. Now because King Xin and I accidentally entered Guizhou, all the careerists have jumped out. Well, this is a good thing, just wipe them all out, and completely restore a peace in Guizhou. ”

Cai Fuyi was still a little lucky, and said: "Although there are more Lord Zhu in the city, but the highest grade of Lord Zhu is only the fourth grade, and the rebels will not make such a heavy bet." Siege the city with all your might. Remember that two days ago, didn't An Bangyan break the siege and go to attack Longli City? ”

Zhu Youcheng snorted coldly: "Aren't you worth it to be a bachelor of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Everyone was silent. Although the grade of the bachelor of the Ming Dynasty is only the fifth grade. But all the scholars are members of the cabinet and are members of the highest authority of the Ming Dynasty. Like Zhu Youcheng, who was awarded a university scholar, but did not enter the cabinet, Daming can be said to be a unique case. If it weren't for the opposition of the ministers, Zhu Youcheng would have entered the cabinet a long time ago. Although the emperor did not succeed in letting Zhu Youcheng enter the cabinet, he tried his best to dispel public opinion. The first title of Zhu Youcheng as a scholar of Longtu Pavilion has paved the way for Zhu Youcheng to enter the cabinet. It is only a matter of time before Zhu Youcheng becomes a cabinet elder.

"Actually, the rebels have not lifted the siege of Guiyang at all, otherwise there would be no ten-mile company camp left outside the city." Zhu Youcheng said. "They went to besiege me who was stationed in Longli City, and leaving the camp was not just a suspicious ploy, but they captured Longli and would come back. This arrangement made it easier for them to quickly enter the siege after returning to the army, so they put most of the grain and grass supplies in the camp tents instead of moving out of Guiyang. An Bangyan is a capable person, he has calculated the caution of General Daming. There are many powerful people in Guiyang City, and the defenders would rather be useless than have faults. Although some people may see that there is a problem with the rebel camp, they do not dare to take risks and rob the camp. If it weren't for the fact that I already knew that the enemy's main force was leaving, maybe I wouldn't have dared to attack their camp. ”

Wang Yan is one of Wei Zhongxian's thirteen Taibao, and of course he will not let Zhu Youcheng fight alone. He made a rare speech at the military meeting: "Lord Zhu is right, the rebels believe that the walls of Longli City are dilapidated and relatively easy to capture, and they are ready to capture Lord Zhu, and then take Lord Zhu as a hostage to force King Xin to open the gate of Guiyang. No one in the capital knows that Lord Zhu and King Xin have always been anxious from Meng, and Meng is not out of focus. Since An Bangyan had already had the intention of rebelling, he must have set up secret agents in the capital, so he also knew this. ”

Zhu Youcheng and Wang Yan's words shattered the luck in everyone's hearts, and Fu Zonglong said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not like we haven't seen the situation of thieves attacking the city." He has always looked ahead and backward, he doesn't know what to choose, he wants to attack the city, but he is also afraid of losses, he always attacks the city with a small hand, turning the tragic siege war into a refueling war, one time is not enough, add a little more, and as a result, we destroy one after another. The rebels' troops are like lamp oil, and our Ming army is like a wick, constantly burning the troops he has added. With the fortified city of Guiyang, coupled with An Bangyan's stupid tactics, we can exhaust the elite of the anti-thieves. ”

"An Bangyan is not as stupid as you think, their arrangement in Longli City and the camp under Guiyang City show that there are capable people under him." Zhu Youcheng said, "Moreover, the rebels have reached the most critical juncture, their morale is low, there is no food and grass, they may have a chance to advance and retreat, and they will never recover." The so-called dog enters the poor alley and fights to the death. Their siege of Guiyang this time must be a full-scale siege, and 180,000 Yi people besieged Guiyang City from four directions at the same time. ”

Everyone was amazed. Excluding Jinyiwei, there are currently less than 30,000 soldiers in Guiyang City, and if 180,000 rebels attack the city at the same time, it is really difficult to say whether Guiyang City can be defended.

Zhang Xianglong heard that the number in Zhu Youcheng's words seemed to be a little inaccurate, and carefully corrected: "Lord Zhu, the total number of rebels is about 200,000. ”

Zhu Youcheng said lightly: "I destroyed 20,000." ”

"Hiss", everyone in the lobby took a breath of cool air as if they had a toothache.

King Xin praised and said: "Brother Cheng, you are awesome, you actually wiped out 20,000 Yi rebels. ”

Fu Zonglong said: "Jinyi Wei is so powerful, it is better to defend the city together." With 40,000 soldiers and 180,000 rebels, Guiyang City must be worry-free. ”

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said, "180,000 rebels, such a large number, this is probably the largest number of rebels that the Yi people can provide." Eliminate these rebels, and Guizhou will never have to worry about it. ”

Cai Fu was shocked and said, "Lord Zhu means ......"

"Since you're here, don't go." Zhu Youcheng looked like a hospitable host, and then his expression turned sharp, and he said, "These rebels can't let go, if they are let go, they will inevitably merge with the extravagant Chongming rebels in Sichuan, and it will be difficult to say how many rebels there will be in Guizhou and Sichuan at that time." ”

Fu Zonglong said: "Lord Zhu is reasonable, but although the combat power of the Yi people is mediocre, it is 180,000 after all. We only have less than 40,000, and it is not enough to defend the city, so it is not easy to destroy the Yi people. ”

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said: "Just looking at the number is indeed quite scary, but how many of these 180,000 people are the backbone of the Yiren, and how many are just ordinary people who are coerced?" As far as I know, the Yi people are divided into two kinds, one is called Heiyi, they are in high positions, they are the main promoters of the rebellion; The other is called Wazi, who is the slave of Heiyi, not only works all year round, has poor food and clothing, but also cannot guarantee his life, and is ravaged by Heiyi at will, they are the Yi people who are coerced. Therefore, once the situation is not right, the first to surrender must be the baby, because they can't afford to die for Heiyi. And the number of babies accounts for ninety percent of the total number of Yi people, that is to say, as long as 18,000 black Yi are eliminated, the Yi people will inevitably surrender. ”

When Zhu Youcheng said this, everyone had some confidence.

Cai Fuyi asked, "Then what is the best way for the Lord to deal with the Yiren rebels?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youcheng's words surprised everyone. (To be continued......)
