Chapter 899: Preparation

After returning from Xiaoling, Zhu Houhuang immediately summoned Yu Dayou and said: "Gu Da knows that he is the right-hand man used by the first emperor, although he is arrogant and domineering, he is not a good person, but he is a capable person. Otherwise, once the first emperor stayed with the Eight Tigers, it would not be him. ”

Zhengde is very good to the physical person, and he misses the old love person very much.

But after all, the emperor is a political creature, no matter how you think about it, there are some things that must be done, and Zhengde has cleaned up the close ministers around him on a large scale, twice.

The first time was when Liu Jin was deposed, and the second time was the rebellion of King Ning. Then there is the death of Zhengde and the purge of King Xing's accession to the throne, which was really preserved, and did not completely withdraw from the core of power, that is, Zhang Yong alone.

And when Gu Dayong has been cleaning in Jiajing, he is a big and small giant.

Many politicians may not be innocent, but their abilities are first-class, such as Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong may be rotten in the Wenchen circle, but in the eunuch circle, he is a first-class senior, with tens of thousands of troops outside the city to support him, Zhu Houhuang fully believes that Gu Dayong can control all the eunuchs in Nanjing City.

"There is Gu Dayong, and Wei Guogong and the two of them are the internal response, this Nanjing is in the palm of Lone's hand, since this is the case, Lone will prepare the next plan, and Nanjing will be handed over to you."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, there are ministers in Nanjing who are foolproof." Yu Dayou said.

He must follow the plan, erect the banner of King Yong, and send someone to contact the Duke of Wei in the name of King Yong, so as to make it appear that King Yongwang is still here.

"Your Royal Highness, General Qi Xiao, has already arrived at the Taiping Mansion, drank the Yangtze River, and connected with the sailor." After Wu Fengyi got the news, she immediately came to report to Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang laughed and said: "It's relieved to be so lonely." ”

Zhu Houhuang said to go. He secretly left the city of Nanjing, stayed under the city of Zhenjiang for a while, and when he stayed again, he was in the Dinghai Zhongwei Station.

All the islands off the coast of Daming have been in the hands of the Yongjun sailors for a while.

The Yongjun sailors are strong, and they are also very good at blocking the news, tens of thousands of troops are in this big island, and the Yongjun sailors are patrolling around, surrounding this island and blocking the water pavilion.

"Meet Your Highness." Wu Ming took the generals behind him to bow down to Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Everyone, please get up. ”

Wu Ming brought the last army of the Yong army in Nanyang, and it can be said that Dongyong's troops in Nanyang were empty. Huang Shilong is not here, but Liu Laodao is in charge here.

For the sake of secrecy, basically the soldiers who appeared on the land would not be transferred, at least in advance preparations, and they would never be allowed to interfere.

Wang Zhi is running around all over the south of the Yangtze River at the moment.

Although the collapse method under Nanjing City has not been ignited, it has been prepared, but even Wang Zhi himself does not have much confidence in whether it can succeed or not.

Without him, the city of Nanjing would be too strong.

The foundation under the city wall of Nanjing is not a solid soil, but a large block of stones. The place where the gunpowder was placed could only be under these large strips of stone. Although Wang Zhi filled as much gunpowder as he could, he himself could not say how much of an impact this gunpowder had on the walls of Nanjing.

Most of the walls of the Ming Dynasty are rammed earth walls, that is, they use the plate construction method, use wooden planks to bind the soil together, and then use gravity to tamp it, and it seems that it has to go through some steaming and the like.

Although the inside of the Nanjing city wall is still rammed earth, there are bricks on both sides, and even in the key places, the stones are accumulated together, and it is very strong, even in the War of Resistance against Japan, the Nanjing city wall is still one of the barriers of the guards, and it has been repeatedly fought over in the area of Zhonghua Gate.

It can be seen that the Nanjing city wall is strong.

The Nanjing city wall is like this, and the Beijing city wall is only stronger than the Nanjing city wall. The north and south capitals can be said to be the proof of national strength in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty.

It's definitely not easy to fall apart.

However, Wang Zhi is busy now, not a matter of collapse.

The big thing that Zhu Houhuang has to do, the 20,000 new troops transferred from Nanyang, is simply not enough, as for the number of troops, Zhu Houhuang can only say that the more the merrier.

Therefore, Wang Zhi is integrating troops and horses, and as soon as the news from the north is confirmed, the elite troops drawn from Jiangnan will set off together and converge at sea.

Considering the speed from Jiangnan to Beijing on land, even the speed of the canal, it may not be able to catch up with the sea transportation, so when it is time to really set off, there is no fear that they will know.

As mentioned before, the time-bound nature of intelligence. Even if they had spread the news at that time, it would have been useless.

However, at this time, Yang Shen also came.

First, the center of gravity of Yongguo was in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the troops, manpower, and material resources of Nanyang were exhausted. Even the newly trained Tusi army was also drawn out and sent to the front line in Qiongzhou, not because of the Tusi's strength, after all, the ability of these Tusi to fight has never been looked at by Yongguo, but they don't want to be in the rear when they are empty, only these Tusi have the strength to mobilize troops.

So just in time to come to the front.

Yang Shen has nothing to sit on even in the rear.

Second, for returning to Beijing for revenge, it was Yang Shen's obsession to send it, he didn't know how many times he dreamed back at midnight, and when he returned to Beijing to slash the enemy, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

Therefore, Yang Shen must come.

Yang Shen didn't care, He Wenyuan snatched his own power, and he didn't have the intention of supporting the government affairs of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili, so he threw himself on the affairs of the north.

Yang Shen's arrival greatly alleviated Zhu Houhuang's affairs.

During this period of time, the territory of the Yongjun army more than doubled. Many affairs are complicated and must be handled by Zhu Houhuang, although He Wenyuan can share a lot of responsibilities for Zhu Houhuang, but Zhu Houhuang can't fully trust any Wenyuan after all.

Yang Shen came just in time.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

All Zhu Houhuang could do first was to wait.

"Your Highness," Wu Yongzhi said: "The news has spread in Beijing, the puppet emperor has summoned Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong has gathered Xuanda, and a total of 50,000 troops from Liaodong have gone south, and they are already on board in Tongzhou at this moment. Going south along the canal, you will probably be able to enter the boundary of Nanzhili within ten days. ”

Wu Fengyi couldn't follow Zhu Houhuang.

Not for anything else, Wu Fengyi has always been by Zhu Houhuang's side, almost Zhu Houhuang's shadow, where there is Zhu Houhuang, there is Wu Fengyi.

This time, Zhu Houhuang hid his whereabouts, so he let Wu Fengyi be under the city of Nanjing. Disguise the appearance that Zhu Houhuang is still under the city of Nanjing.

Wu Fengyi didn't come, and Wu Fengyi sent his son, Wu Yongzhi, to the matter of intelligence.

Wu Fengyi is getting older, not to mention that she has a knighthood, and she also has to study and retire, and learn from Qi Jingtong to run her own fiefdom and give up her position.

Of course, Wu Fengyi didn't want to ignore the hereditary position of the embroidered clothes guard has always been the Wu family, but he is still willing to let Wu Yongzhi be familiar with Zhu Houhuang's side.

This is also learning Qi Jingtong.

In Wu Fengyi's opinion, Qi Jingtong took advantage of his lame leg to let his son always rise by King Yong's side, and in the end it really worked. Qi Jiguang's current status is inseparable from Qi Jingtong's foreshadowing.

Zhu Houhuang listened to Wu Yongzhi's words and said, "Pass the order, and the army will set off." ”

The great army, which had been prepared for a long time, began to get on board.

However, it was not the army around Zhu Houhuang who first got on the ship, but the troops from all over the south of the Yangtze River, they set off first and joined Zhu Houhuang in Dinghai, with an army of 40,000 or 50,000, almost half of the garrisons in Fujian and Zhejiang, and they were all large armies with combat effectiveness and were the backbone of the Yong army.

The army is marching out, and there is no secrecy at all. Yongjun moved like this, and any smart person could guess what King Yong wanted to do. Countless news spread from all directions, and the only backbone of Jinyiwei jumped out and frantically delivered the news to Beijing.

Let Wu Fengyi have a place to use.

Wu Fengyi was a little uncomfortable that she couldn't follow Zhu Houhuang to conquer Beijing, and at this time, these brocade guards happened to become Wu Fengyi's punching bag.

Wu Fengyi showed no mercy to these people, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. Jiangnan is full of bloody rain. But these Jiangnan families are honest, they don't dare to act rashly, and they don't have the slightest idea of exploiting loopholes because of the emptiness of the Yongjun army.

They are waiting for news.
