Geng Bingwen's army went north, bringing with them more than a dozen hot air balloons left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and a few firecrackers from the imperial court, which killed Beiping in a mighty way.

However, Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Beiping, and it will take several days for the army to arrive, so Zhu Yunwen will naturally not be idle.

For example, if you take down the vassal kings around Zhu Di, otherwise you will echo Zhu Di, won't you add to your own blockage?

So he immediately ordered the powerful King Ning and King Liao to return to Beijing, lest they become Zhu Di's accomplices, after all, the combined armies of the two vassal kings did not have to be Zhu Di's army, and it was best to be used by the imperial court, at least not Zhu Di's army.

The King of Liao was very obedient, and after receiving the holy decree, he went south along the sea route and entered the mouth of the Yangtze River into Beijing.

But King Ning was not so easy to speak, and resolutely did not return to Nanjing, because he saw what happened to the prince who went back, he saw it in his eyes, he had the same arrogance as King Xiang, but he did not escape to the point of self-immolation.

So Zhu Yunwen's holy decree came, to cut down King Ning's palace guards, and the entire three guards and 15,000 people were cut.

But this is only on the surface, that Yan Sanwei is still in the hands of King Ning, and the court is not capable of doing anything to King Ning now.

Since the court knows the importance of King Ning and King Liao, there is no reason why Zhu Di does not know, so on the one hand, when strengthening the defense of Beiping, Zhu Di also sent people to contact King Liao and King Ning, but since King Liao has rushed back to Nanjing, Zhu Di will do his best to win over King Ning.

In addition, Zhu Di also issued a document on the court's criticism of thieves, denouncing the traitors around Zhu Yunwen, and claiming that this is not to rebel, but to help the emperor clean up the traitors around him, such as Qitai Huang Zicheng and the like. Another example is Hu Ye, who not only violated Emperor Taizu's custom, but also advocated the cutting of feudal domains. also begged for thieves and documents, and was the biggest traitor in the court.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to classify Yezi as a traitor like this." Zhang Fu looked at the Jing Nan Wen in his hand, and asked Zhu Di with some embarrassment.

"There's nothing wrong with that, isn't this qiē all done by him? Is it wrong to classify him as a traitor? Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Fu, now he is already in armor, ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

"You know. Only if we denounce him can he stay safely in Nanjing. Zhu Di muttered, and then asked his subordinates to distribute the Jing Nan Wen to all parts of Beiping.

Zhang Fu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and felt that Zhu Di had some truth, only by letting Hu Ye be charged with traitorous ministers, Zhu Yunwen and they would not suspect Hu Ye's identity, and finally Zhu Di became the emperor, he was not a hero?

However, Zhang Fu had a headache, because he still had a girl at home who was waiting for him. If his fierce sister knew that her sweetheart was saddled with the name of a traitor, she didn't know what it would make her family look like.

Last time, I secretly went to Nanjing to go on a date with my sweetheart.,If you know this.,Do you have to take the guy to Nanjing to ask for an understanding? So Zhang Fu decided to lock up Yingxue well. Before the matter is over, you can't let her see this Jing Nan Wen.

"By the way, is there any news from the people sent to Daning?"

Zhu Di asked Zhang Fu while dealing with the military reports sent back from various places.

"Your Highness. Although King Ning rejected the edict of the imperial court, he did not explicitly say that he would stand on His Highness's side, and it seems that he is still undecided. Zhang Fu replied.

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this. Then he said, "This is nothing, since he did not rush back to Nanjing like the King of Liao, it means that he understands what the outcome of returning to the imperial court will be, presumably he is just thinking about the gains and losses now, and when I finish dealing with Geng Bingwen's army and go to Daning in person, the Duoyan Sanwei in his hand must be obtained." ”

"By the way, Your Highness, the hot air balloons have also been equipped with troops, is it arranged on the city wall, or is it ......" Zhang Fu asked, because he is now in charge of all the hot air balloons of Zhu Di, and he must deal with this matter.

"Only one is needed for each county, and the rest are all equipped with mobile troops." Zhu Di replied, and after thinking for a while, he said to Liu Sheng next to him, "Send a hundred people out of the Shenji Battalion to ensure that each mobile unit has ten soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, since Geng Bingwen is leading the army this time, there will definitely be a hot air balloon, and they must shoot down the hot air balloon before their hot air balloon discovers our traces." ”

"But Your Highness, now there are only 500 people in the Shenji Battalion, if you send 100 people......"

Liu Sheng was a little embarrassed, and he lost one-fifth of his combat effectiveness at once, which was not what he wanted to see.

"It doesn't matter, the Shenji Battalion is still a secret force, that is, every unit has their figure, so that the opponent will be afraid, you will lead the remaining four hundred people, follow my main force, and fight a decisive battle with Geng Bingwen's main force." Zhu Di waved his hand and no longer talked about it, but discussed with them how to guard against Geng Bingwen's army.

At the same time, Hu Ye, who was branded by Zhu Di as a traitor who was a traitor to Jing Nanwen, was making a hot air balloon for Zhu Yunwen in the palace, and he hadn't returned to the Nameless Mansion for several days, and he didn't know when this thing was a head.

"I said, can't you come and help?"

While Hu Ye was busy sewing the silk cloth and bamboo basket, he yelled at Yun Zichen, who was motionless next to him, this goods have been here for an hour, and they don't want to help.

"Dean Hu, I don't know this, the order given to me by the emperor is to supervise the progress of the hot air balloon, and I can't forget my job."

Yun Zichen shrugged his shoulders, as Wei Yanghou, how could he do such a thing.

"Supervisor, supervisor, is there such a supervision from you, I didn't see that I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, you wouldn't thread the needle and lead the way, pour me a cup of tea, right?"

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, this guy really enjoys it, the whole yard is a shady place, and he is all standing in this guy. On this August day, Nanjing is hot, and the sun is almost smoking, and I still have to do useless work here.

Because Hu Ye knew the fate of these hot air balloons, they must have been shot down by the Shenji Battalion.

Yun Zichen also knew that he was a little excessive, so he went to find a pot of tea and handed Hu Ye under the shade of the tree.

"I said Dean Hu, do you know that you are already on the list of traitors of King Yan?" Pour a pot of tea for Hu Ye, Yun Zichen whispered.

"List of traitors? I didn't expect that I, a little dean, would be able to enter the eyes of King Yan. Hu Ye smiled, he had expected this a long time ago, so there was nothing surprising, it was just a good show played by Zhu Di, if he did these things and was not included in Zhu Di's list of so-called traitors, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would immediately doubt themselves.

"Dean Hu doesn't feel wronged?"

Yun Zichen drank a cup of tea, and then felt that the hot weather had eased a little, and asked Hu Ye curiously.

"What grievances? Was he put on the list of traitors by King Yan? Or was it left by the emperor to build a hot air balloon? Hu Ye asked.

"It seems that Dean Hu is really an open-minded person, but don't worry, the list of traitors from the hands of thieves is a list of loyal ministers in the eyes of the imperial court, and when the rebellion of King Yan is pacified, the emperor will definitely reward Dean Hu."

Yun Zichen reached out and patted Hu Ye's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"Does Wei Yanghou think that Changxinghou's army can quell the chaos?" Hu Ye suddenly put down the teacup and asked Yun Zichen in a low voice.

Yun Zichen glanced around, and then whispered vigilantly, "I can't see it." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"First of all, Changxing is an old general who is good at defense, otherwise the emperor would not have transferred him to the Yangtze River. The reason why I was able to quell the rebellion in Sichuan last time was because it was just a group of chaotic people. And this rebellion of King Yan is a group of brave and warlike armies, fighting against the Mongols all year round, how can it be compared to a group of rebellious people? And Changxinghou lacks hard work, he can't bargain in front of King Yan, it is impossible to quell the chaos, and it is already good to be able to get out of the way. ”

Hu Ye looked at Yun Zichen in surprise, it turned out that this product still had brains, and it was not for nothing that he could be in charge of thousands of households at such a young age.

"Then how does Wei Yanghou think the imperial court should quell the chaos?" Hu Ye asked again.

"This time, the emperor should not withdraw the King of Liao and the King of Ning, in this way, the kings will be even more panicked, as long as Zhu Di raises his arms and shouts, I am afraid that the kings will respond. But now, it is no longer possible to let the Liao King Hui fief, I think the top priority is not to quell the rebellion of Yandi, but to strengthen the defense around Yandi, as long as the Yan King is besieged in Beiping, over time, without spending a single soldier, it is not impossible for the army under the King of Yan to begin to waver, and it is not impossible for them to tie Zhu Di to surrender. Yun Zichen said.

Hu Ye looked at Yun Zichen in surprise, is this still the arrogant Yun Zichen? When did you become so scheming?

"Wei Yanghou, according to the previous you, shouldn't you lead an army and go straight to Huanglong? How did you come up with such a trick? ”

Now that Zhu Di's army has conquered Beiping in one go, if Geng Bingwen's army is asked to give them morale, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to clean up. Moreover, Zhu Di's army is a person near Beiping, and he is very familiar with the terrain there, and the army of the imperial court has passed, and he can't get any bargain at all, so it is better to besiege it on the spot to respond to all changes. ”

"Did Wei Yanghou mention it to the emperor?"

Hu Ye looked at Yun Zichen in surprise, this trick is really poisonous, in this way, even if Zhu Di has the Shenji Battalion, I am afraid he will not be able to get out of Beiping, or it will not be long before the morale will decline, and it will be possible for the soldiers to do anything.

"How can the emperor listen to such an opinion now, he is bent on quelling the chaos, naturally the sooner the better, otherwise the army of Changxinghou will not set off in a hurry." Yun Zichen sighed, with his understanding of Zhu Yunwen, he would never adopt this article, so he didn't mention it at all. (To be continued......)
