Chapter 8: I'm just such a brother

Zhang Yue took a small boat to Zhu Qiyu's boat, and knelt down with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for the rescue!" Zhang Yue cried.

Zhu Qiyu saw Zhang Yue like this, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, he personally stepped forward to pull Zhang Yue up, looked up and down, and sighed: "Zhang Qing's family has suffered!" ”

Saying this, Zhang Yue's tears were even more uncontrollable, he was a noble son with fine clothes and fine food.

But since he became the governor of the Ming Water Division, for the reputation of the family and the trust of the emperor, he has worked day and night.

The skin that dried himself was black and rough, and it was like two people before.

It was because he cared too much about military exploits that he learned that the rebels wanted to go north to attack the Beijing Division, so he rashly sent troops to intercept and was left behind.

If Zhu Qiyu hadn't happened to pass by, his life would have been lost, and the soldiers would have died at sea with him.

"It's the minister who is incompetent, and he is ......" Zhang Yue choked up without saying two words, and it was sad to see that a metropolitan governor of a good product has now become like this.

"Okay, okay, no matter how tortuous the process is, you finally live up to the trust of the imperial brother, defeat these rebels, and tell this king about the current situation in the court!" Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to order Zhang Yue to introduce the situation.

Zhang Yue wiped her tears and calmed down before telling the story.

It turned out that after the initial momentum of the rebels in the three places, in the face of the still strong strength of the imperial court, they gradually fell into disagreement, and the offensive momentum gradually slowed down.

Then it was he, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, who led the army to break through one by one, and drove the traitors of the three provinces out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he could only go to Xiaoliuqiu to compete with the local Gaoshan Tusi for living space.

Later, when he heard that these people wanted to attack the Beijing Division, he despised it and made meritorious contributions, so he attacked lightly and rashly, and then fell into the ambush of the enemy army and was almost besieged here.

"What is the situation on all sides?" Zhu Qiyu asked with concern.

Zhang Yue sighed and began to tell Zhu Qiyu about the process of this war, which can be summed up as:

Although the rebels were not strong in combat, in order to force the people to rebel, they actually took trouble during the autumn harvest, and emptied the food in the locality, and coerced the refugees all the way.

"In this way, isn't the imperial court a rat trap? Don't tell me that in addition to these three places, the three kings of Ning, Dai, and Yi have all become climates! Zhu Qiyu's eyebrows were upside down. Zhang Yue hurriedly waved his hand again and again to explain: "No, no, no, it is precisely because of this that the people can see their ugly faces clearly.

lost people's hearts, this battle will definitely not be fought, and even before Wang Shi can make a move, the rebels have already surrendered, but the damage in the early stage is too great, and it is miserable in retrospect! ”

"I see! So, the rebels in Daming have all been wiped out? Zhu Qiyu asked in surprise.

Zhang Yue hesitated and nodded, "Except for the King Ning lineage that the emperor deliberately left behind, the rest have either escaped from our Ming land, or have already been ambushed!" ”

"Hahaha, that's good, it's good, it just so happened that Dongying won a big victory, and I also brought back a lot of loot, it's really a double happiness!"

"Brother Huang deliberately stayed? What do you mean? ”

……

In Jiangxi, Zhu Qizhen fled all the way with King Ning and returned to Nanchang, the base camp.

At this time in Nanchang, King Ning learned the method of Taizong Zhu Di, leaving his eldest son to guard the house and go out to fight by himself.

The one who went out on this side was defeated, and the defenders did not have a good time.

Only after this month or two, the people in the hands of Zhu Jinjun, the eldest young master, were almost dead and injured.

In addition to forcing the people to defend the city, it is to hide in the bed and play hide and seek, and the happiness is day by day.

Zhu Qizhen watched King Ning flee into the city without hindrance, and Wu Jin couldn't persuade the emperor no matter how anxious he was.

The reason why he didn't follow in directly was because Zhu Qizhen wanted King Ning to be a perfect negative teaching material, and he stopped the vassal king's intention of rebellion.

When you cut down the feudal domain in the future, you can raise your hands and surrender with peace of mind, saving trouble.

"Wu Jin, let all the soldiers who can write copy my handwritten handwriting, and then send it into the city.

Remember, the gates are not to be completely closed, allowing merchants to enter. ”

"But the emperor, even if we don't attack, they won't let people enter and exit freely!" Wu Jin said in disbelief.

"You just have to do it!" Zhu Qizhen chuckled and waved Wu Jin away.

It will never be the people who stand on the top of the city and watch the mountain scenery when they open the city gates, but the common people who can't even lift their heads when they are stepped on by him.

"Wait, besiege but not attack, and with all kinds of preferential treatment, who can hold out for a month? I think half a month is enough! Zhu Qizhen asked and replied to himself. Under this strange order of Zhu Qizhen, the Ming army withdrew from Nanchang Mansion and set up camp within five miles.

Although he never attacked the city again, he never stopped spying on the big city without stopping the scouts.

The most important task every day is to send the manuscript of the emperor's handwritten book into the city with bows and arrows.

At the beginning, the soldiers in the city were still very nervous, afraid that it would not be something dirty that could cause epidemics, and it was strictly forbidden for people to see it, so they were all destroyed.

However, there are always curious people, and within a day, the news of the emperor's forgiveness spread throughout the city, not only the common people, but even those iron-blooded soldiers were shocked.

Seeing this, King Ning's father and son killed several people in a row to curb this trend, but people's hearts moved, even if he didn't let him say it, wouldn't everyone want to?

With the shortage of materials in the city, more and more people wanted to go out of the city to find a way to survive, and merchants outside the city who heard the rumors and wanted to make war profits also gathered outside the city gate.

"Lord Wang, someone is shouting at the city tower to send us supplies!" The lieutenant general in armor entered the palace nervously to report.

When King Ning heard the news, his face was full of hideousness, and he almost directly killed this deputy general who was harmful to the army's morale to set an example.

But in the end, it was the people's hearts that were sensitive, and the idea of not being able to stimulate prevailed, and they didn't really do it.

just said in an extremely indifferent tone: "What does this king do?" I said earlier, when you see this kind of person, you kill it directly, why do you have an idea? Or are you relatives in your family, reluctant? ”

The deputy general knelt on the ground in panic, and didn't dare to say: "Where does the villain dare to have such thoughts, but Lord Wang, the person who came is really your relative, and we really don't dare to do it......"

King Ning laughed miserably and asked, "Is Zhu Qizhen here?" Or did his younger brother Zhu Qiyu come back from Dongying? The king's relatives should be killed! ”

"It's the princess's younger brother......" the lieutenant reminded in a whisper.

King Ning was stunned, and after a long time, he sighed lightly, "No! Get people out of here! ”

The deputy general ordered to leave, and after a short time, Princess Ning came with her son, Zhu Jinjun, the son of the world, crying and crying.

"Woo woo, lord, what do you mean by this! My brother is also for our good, and he deliberately broke through the army of the imperial court to send us supplies!

Not only did you not let him in, but you also let people drive him away, the concubine is just such a younger brother, are you so ruthless? Princess Ning said with tears in her eyes.
