Chapter 343: Jiangnan Tribulation [3 More]
In all dynasties, when it comes to the righteousness of winning the country, there is no one who is more than the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a grass people, participates in the righteous army, holds high the banner, drives out the Tatars, and restores the Chinese clothes. Meng Sen once said in "The Romance of the History of the Ming Dynasty" that since three generations in China, the only people who have won the country are the Han and Ming.
As a descendant of the imperial family, King Ning actually colluded with the Tatar alien race to invade the Central Plains, no wonder the ministers reacted so violently.
Chu Yi sneered and said: "Zhu Chenhao, he even dares to rebel, colluding with foreign races is nothing to him, above history, for his own selfish interests, colluding with foreign races to invade the Central Plains, I don't know how many, not more than one Zhu Chenhao." ”
Zhu Houzhao's face was pale, if King Ning rebelled, Zhu Houzhao would be angry, but he would not be angry to death, Zhu Chenhao is a descendant of Taizu, like him, the blood of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang flows in his veins, and Zhu Chenhao actually colluded with Tatars to invade the Central Plains.
"Zhu Chenhao, the royal family does not have a royal family that colludes with foreign races like you, I want to order the Zongren Mansion to remove King Ning from the imperial register, I want to arrest Zhu Chenhao and cut him with a thousand knives before the tomb of Taizu!"
Zhu Houzhao, who can be angry, said such a thing, obviously Zhu Chenhao really touched the bottom line of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao so angry, no one said a word for Zhu Chenhao.
Zhu Chenhao's rebellion itself is a crime of great rebellion, and now he is colluding with other races, even if he is cut with a thousand knives, it will be difficult to atone for his crime.
After venting, Zhu Houzhao stared at Chu Yi angrily and said, "Big Companion, you tell me how I can quell King Ning's rebellion and repel the Tatar invasion!" ”
Chu Yi sneered and said: "One hundred thousand Tatars Koubian is indeed huge, but Your Majesty doesn't need to panic too much, Yang Yiqing has been in office for more than half a year, and after his rectification, the three sides plus Xuanfu and Datong have at least more than 100,000 soldiers who can fight, not the situation of many empty salaries in the past." ”
A group of civil and military officers couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Chu Yi say this, but Zhang Mao snorted coldly and said: "Don't forget, the land of border towns stretches for thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of troops are placed on such a long border, how can they withstand the 100,000 Tatar Warrior Peak!" ”
After all, Daming is a defensive party, not to mention anything else, just Xuanfu and Datong, there are dozens of large and small towns.
With so many cities, some of them could indeed be temporarily abandoned when the Tatars invaded, but some cities had to be garrisoned by large armies, and other places also needed to be garrisoned, that is to say, the border troops that could really be used to fight the Tatars at that time were actually tens of thousands at most.
Chu Yi glanced at Zhang Mao and said unhurriedly: "What the British Duke said is very true, but the British Duke also knows a little bit clearly, Shaanxi and Gansu have always been barren, and they are far away from Beijing, so the Tatars have always chosen these border towns for invasion. And Xuanfu and Datong are the barriers of the Beijing Division, and they are the first choice for the invasion of Warat and Tatar. ”
Zhang Mao said: "So what, Yang Yiqing wants to leave a large army to defend in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, so he can at most gather tens of thousands of troops in Xuanfu and Datong, otherwise, once the Tatars invade from other places, it will inevitably be overwhelming." How can tens of thousands of troops withstand the 100,000 soldiers of the Tatars? ”
Saying that, Zhang Mao said again: "There is an alien invasion outside, and there is a rebellion of the vassal king inside. ”
In such a situation, at least not fools can see it, if the Ming can't bear it, it will either die at the hands of the rebels or at the hands of foreign races.
Jiao Fang and Wang Hua couldn't help but look at Chu Yi and said, "The chief manager ......."
Chu Yi stood up and slowly bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to issue an order to transfer 100,000 troops from the Beijing camp to Yang Yiqing's command, and Yang Yiqing only needs to block the Tatars for a month." ”
A bright light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "I'm right!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said to Jiao Fang: "Elder Jiao Ge, the cabinet quickly drafted the decree, I stamped the seal, and immediately transferred people from the Beijing camp, and the household department, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and other departments must prepare the ordnance, grain and grass needed for the army to go out of the city, and the 100,000 Beijing camp army must be drawn tomorrow!" ”
After Zhu Houzhao made his order, Chu Yi spoke again: "Your Majesty, please allow your ministers to go to Jiangnan to quell King Ning's rebellion!" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this: "Big companion, you want to go out in person?" ”
Originally, according to his and Chu Yi's plan, there was no need for Chu Yi to go out to pacify King Ning's rebellion, and with the backhand they had arranged before, it was just a matter of time before he pacified King Ning's rebellion.
But it was obvious that King Ning actually colluded with the Tatars, which greatly surprised Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers will pacify King Ning's rebels within a month, and then take the opportunity of a great victory to personally lead the army north!" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but hesitate for a while, if Chu Yi left Jingshi, he would feel a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had lost his support all of a sudden.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, Chu Yi said with a straight expression: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, after the minister leaves, Your Majesty can order Hu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, to inspect the Forbidden City, Tengxiang Siwei to inspect the capital, the British Duke sits in Beijing, and the elders of the cabinet stabilize the court, what else can Your Majesty not feel at ease?" ”
After the previous killing, there may be some ill-intentioned people in the capital, but these people alone can't make a single storm.
After suffering a loss, Zhu Houzhao will always grow, even if Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and others are resurrected, and then try to calculate Zhu Houzhao, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
Zhu Houzhao pondered, looked at Chu Yi with a reluctant expression, and nodded slowly: "At the request of my companion, I will make my companion the minister of the Qin Mission, give me the seal with me, and be fully responsible for quelling the rebellion of King Ning, from the vassal king to the commoners, all civil and military, and the companion has the right to cut first and then play!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chu Yi with a strange look, and they had to say that Zhu Houzhao really trusted Chu Yi very much, and even gave Chu Yi the right to cut first and then play, even the vassal king could cut it first and then play, that is to say, in this big tomorrow, except for Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, Chu Yi can kill anyone.
Chu Yi's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said solemnly: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”
At the same time as the DPRK and China responded, the land south of the Yangtze River was boiling.
Just as Jiao Fang and other pavilion elders said, when Wang Yangming and Chen Tai were sent to Beijing in an expedited 800 li, King Ning had already raised troops for three days.
In three days, if you march in a hurry, you can travel about one or two hundred miles, and if you attack the city, if it goes well, you may have already captured several cities.
Since Chu Yi had already sensed that Zhu Chenhao had the intention of raising troops, he naturally made arrangements early, and for this reason, Wang Shouren was transferred from Longchang, Guizhou to Jiangxi as an envoy.
The most important thing is that in order to prevent accidents, Chu Yi asked the Son of Heaven for a will to Wang Shouren, so that Wang Shouren had the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot.
Chu Yi knows very well that the efficiency of local officials, if Wang Yangming does not have enough power, even if Wang Yangming has great ability, without the cooperation of officials, he will definitely not be able to do anything.
Don't look at the history of Wang Yangming spent more than a month, three times five divided by two to suppress King Ning's rebellion, that is because King Ning's rebellion is not popular in the south of the Yangtze River, except for a very few local magnates and gentry can be said to be on the side of the imperial court, plus Wang Yangming strategized, local officials worked together, naturally it was easy to suppress King Ning's rebellion.
However, this time it is different from history, in history, King Ning's rebellion in Jiangnan was not popular at all, and no one helped, and this time, Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven killed a few times, and the entire Jiangnan was like a huge powder keg, and great resentment had already accumulated, so it could be said that it was a little bit.
Whether it is the magnates and gentry who were exterminated, or the magnates and officials who stood on the opposite side of Chu Yi, they dare not say that the entire Jiangnan is detached from the imperial court, at least most of Jiangnan definitely welcomes King Ning's rebellion.
It can be said that Chu Yi had already predicted that King Ning's rebellion would inevitably sweep through most of the south of the Yangtze River at the beginning, unless Chu Yi took action to get rid of King Ning in advance.
But even if King Ning is removed, the resentment against the court accumulated by Jiangnan still exists, and without King Ning, there will be vassal kings such as King Qin and King Zhao.
Daming doesn't have anything else, just a lot of vassal kings, and any prince can raise troops.
The importance of King Ning is actually not that important at all, and what the Jiangnan interest group needs in the end is nothing more than a signboard like King Ning.
With such a signboard as King Ning, then the rebellion will be regarded by all forces in the Ming Dynasty as a struggle within the royal family like Zhu Dijing's martyrdom.
Once there is no vassal king as a signboard, these people in Jiangnan want to rebel, and they don't have a righteous name in their hands, so they will be congenitally inferior.
In the final analysis, what Chu Yi wants to deal with is not just a King Ning, if he really wants to get rid of King Ning, if he goes down, Jinyi Wei will come to the door to take down King Ning.
However, entrenched in Jiangnan, it has formed a huge network of interests that envelops the vast Jiangnan, and it is almost leaky to build Jiangnan.
Although the imperial court still has a certain degree of control over Jiangnan, to a certain extent, Jiangnan is actually gradually out of the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty, which can provide huge manpower, material and financial resources for the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that a group of incorruptible and shameful people are like greedy bloodsuckers lying on the old body of the Ming Dynasty and frantically absorbing it, consuming the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Yi repeatedly connived at King Ning, the purpose was very simple, that is, to sweep away the huge Jiangnan in one fell swoop, and only a great turmoil that swept the Jiangnan could sweep away the flies and dogs entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.
