If it weren't for the shadow of the ancestors, how could these people be able to sit in the high position of the governor of the five armies, and it is precisely because of this that the governor's mansion of the five armies has gradually become a place for the nobles to retire, and the control of the army is getting weaker and weaker.

At this moment, the British Duke was sitting there with his eyes squinted, looking like he was not thinking about anything, Chu Yi only looked at the reaction of the British Duke and knew that he had previously killed in the Beijing camp, and the act of installing generals made the old Duke feel a little suspicious.

Chu Yi coughed lightly at this time, attracting everyone's attention to himself, everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, and no one present dared to underestimate Chu Yi.

It can be said that those who dare to underestimate Chu Yi will either go to the Nine Secluded Underworld Mansion at this time, or they will be wanted by the imperial court and die in the world.

Chu Yi chuckled and said: "The British Duke is the Optimus White Jade Pillar in my Ming Army, I don't know what the old Duke can do to deal with King Ning's rebellion?" ”

Chu Yi went on a killing spree in the army, and dozens of noble children lost their lives because of this, and their heads were hung on the flagpole in the army for several days.

None of the officials present knew about this news, and as long as they were discerning, they could see that Chu Yi had a disagreement with the Xungui group.

Zhang Mao glanced up at Chu Yi, slowly got up and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to personally lead the army to quell King Ning's rebellion!" ”

Zhang Mao's words couldn't help but make the officials present stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they all showed a little wry smile, is this old prince talking angrily?

Your old man is seventy or eighty years old, although he has a very high prestige in the army, but the imperial court has not yet reached the level where old ministers like Zhang Mao are sent out to lead the troops.

Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly when he heard this: "The British Duke is loyal, but there are many generals in the DPRK and China, and there is only one King Ning, how can he work for the British Prince!" ”

Zhang Mao said with a firm face: "Your Majesty must not underestimate King Ning, this time Your Majesty has killed many officials, eight or nine out of ten of these officials are from Jiangnan, and the old minister is only afraid that Jiangnan will change because of this, if so, I am afraid that most of Jiangnan will change color for it." ”

Hearing this, Jiao Fang and the others also showed a look of worry on their faces, and to be able to get to this position, few of the people present could say that they were stupid.

Even if you don't have outstanding ability, you still have eyesight.

Why did Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi take advantage of the actions of Mu Zhaigong, Jiang Mian and other civil and military officials to force the palace to wantonly depose and kill those officials who were closely connected with Jiangnan.

On the one hand, Jiang Mian, Xie Qian and others tried in vain to control the election of the Son of Heaven, which touched the bottom line of the Son of Heaven, and on the other hand, it was also a suppression of the huge forces in Jiangnan when the Son of Heaven realized that Jiangnan was difficult to control.

If you see through this, then as long as you are not a fool, you can see that King Ning's rebellion is no longer a simple rebellion of the vassal king, but it is very likely that the Jiangnan power group is just a counterattack against the suppression of the Son of Heaven.

If it is only King Ning who rebelled, then as Li Wenchang said, King Ning will not be able to make any waves at all. It only takes a little time to send one or two capable officials to rule the place, and at most it takes a little time, it is enough to quell King Ning's rebellion.

But now, if King Ning and the huge power group in Jiangnan, Zhang Mao said that it is not impossible for most of Jiangnan to change color.

Jiao Fang looked at Chu Yi, but he couldn't see what Chu Yi meant.

With Jiao Fang's understanding of Chu Yi, King Ning's cultivation of soldiers and horses can definitely not be concealed from the secret agents of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, after all, raising a few hundred people may not be detected, but King Ning has raised tens of thousands of troops, if Jinyiwei and Dongchang can't even detect this, then the Ming court will simply disperse.

Since King Ning's actions can't escape the supervision of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, with Chu Yi's control over Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he doesn't dare to say that he knows King Ning's every move well, and he must also know everything about King Ning's army.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, Jiao Fang got up and first saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then said to Zhang Mao: "The old man is loyal to the country, everyone knows this, the old man is old, how can Your Majesty bear to let the old man come to the battlefield again in his old body." ”

Zhang Mao said slowly: "The old man is willing to fight on the battlefield for His Majesty, and the horse leather shroud!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a touched face: "The British Duke is loyal, and I know in my heart that although it is important to quell the rebellion of King Ning, this Jingshi is inseparable from the old prince of the country!" ”

appeased the British duke, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi, although the two monarchs and ministers had already known about King Ning's army, and had also made various arrangements for this, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that King Ning and Jiangnan should not be underestimated, if they were not careful, Da Ming might lose most of Jiangnan.

Outside the imperial study, an attendant suddenly quietly walked into the room, Gu Dayong glanced at it, and hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that the chamberlain handed a letter to Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong glanced at it, his face showed a little surprise, and hurriedly walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and presented the letter to Zhu Houzhao.

Whether it was the chamberlain or Gu Dayong's actions, several officials in the imperial study were all looking at it and guessing what news was in this letter.

After all, if it weren't for extremely important news, those attendants would not be presented to the Son of Heaven at this time, and only urgent matters would be presented to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, regardless of the time and occasion.

Zhu Houzhao opened the letter and glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, glanced at the civil and military ministers, and said slowly: "Zhongqing, this urgent performance is the governor of the five provinces, Yang Yiqing presented, Tatar sent 100,000 troops, and came straight to my Daming!" ”

"What! Tatar knock? Send 100,000 troops? ”

Everyone is naturally no stranger to Yang Yiqing, Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion was quelled by Yang Yiqing, and later the Son of Heaven added the title of secretary of his military department but ordered him to be in charge of the military power of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Xuanfu, and Datong border passes, and was the governor of the five provinces.

Yang Yiqing served as the governor of the three sides, and put down the rebellion of Zhu Ningxiao, and several local rebellions were also quelled by Yang Yiqing, so it can be said that he has a strong ability in military affairs.

Tatar has always been the border trouble of the Ming Dynasty, since the change of the civil fort, the Ming and Tatar, Warat in the confrontation obviously from the active to the passive defense, since then, Tatar, Warat from time to time to attack the Ming border towns, Xuanfu, Datong and other border towns of the military town more and more highlighted its importance.

Zhu Hou ordered Yang Yiqing not only to be in charge of the trilateral military and political affairs, but also to hand over important military towns such as Xuanfu and Datong to you, which shows the trust of Yang Yiqing.

Even if all the civil and military forces present were extremely confident in Yang Yiqing's ability, it was a 100,000 Tatar army.

Over the years, although the Tatars have been said to have been on the border from time to time, more often than not, they have numbered thousands or tens of thousands of people, and they have retreated to the steppe after plundering.

But this time it was different, the Tatars actually sent 100,000 troops, and fools know that the Tatars used so many soldiers and horses, and it was not a simple entry into the Ming Dynasty to plunder.

Even Zhang Mao, who had a little dislike with Chu Yi, looked at Zhu Houzhao with a shocked face at this time, in the battle of Tumubao that year, the previous generation of British Gong Zhang Fu died on the battlefield, for Zhang Mao, it can be said that he has a deep memory.

For the Tatar invasion, Zhang Mao reacted more sensitively.

I only heard Zhang Mao say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing has made it clear who will be in command of the Tatar troops this time!" ”

Chu Yi said with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth at this time: "Tatar Great Khan, the son of Dayan, Prince Balsborough is the vanguard, Dayan Khan is the Chinese army, and the 100,000 soldiers are divided into two routes, and they go straight to the two major military towns of Xuanfu and Datong!" ”

Dayan unified the Tatars and suppressed the Warats, which can be said to be a generation of heroes on the steppe, and now Dayan himself leads the army, which shows that the invasion of the Tatars is not as simple as a small fight.

Several of the governors of the five armies were a little pale, and several elders were also frowning, with a worried face.

Whether it was the rebellion of King Ning or the invasion of Tatars, if it was not rushed together, then with the strength of the imperial court, it was enough to deal with either side.

However, this time the two broke out at the same time, even if they had confidence in the imperial court, the civil and military ministers present were also worried.

Even Zhu Houzhao was a little sad at this time, but Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi, you must know that the reason why Yang Yiqing was sent to the border town, the governor Sanbian, Xuanfu and Datong was from Chu Yi's suggestion.

But whether Chu Yi or Zhu Houzhao sent Yang Yiqing to sit in the border town, they also hoped that Yang Yiqing could clear the border town and reorganize the border army, but they never thought that the Tatars would suddenly attack.

Chu Yi tapped the table lightly, thoughts flew in his mind, and gradually the corners of Chu Yi's mouth showed a little smile.

Noticing the change in Chu Yi's expression, especially at this moment, everyone was worried, and Chu Yi was the only one who showed a little smile, and everyone was naturally extremely puzzled.

Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly and looked at Chu Yi and said, "Companion, I'm going to be in a hurry, how can you still laugh!" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, glanced at the officials lightly, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister just thought of a possibility." ”

Jiao Fang couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The chief manager might as well talk about it!" ”

Chu Yi said slowly: "Don't you think it's strange, the Tatars don't send troops early, and they don't send troops late, but the time of this army is almost the same as the time when King Ning raised his army......

Many people couldn't help but shrink their eyes when they heard this, and gasped, Wang Hua exclaimed: "What, King Ning...... He dared to collude with the Tatars, did he want to lead foreign races to invade the Central Plains? ”

Chen Ding said angrily: "King Ning, he is a descendant of Taizu, my Ming and Meng Yuanyu are incompatible, how dare he ......?"

[The second one will be sent, and there will be one more in a while, ask for a monthly pass, and give a reward.] 】
