Chapter 487: The Beacon Flame Rises Again
So, what's next? β
Knowing that the lord had a new strategy for using troops, Zheng He thought that he would definitely use troops again, so he asked.
Zhu Di smiled heartily and said,
"First let the soldiers rest for a month, and then, when the big guys have enough spirits, we will start our troops to the south again! However, Sanbao, I have to tell you in advance, this is the real south. β
After speaking, Zhu Di smiled slyly, shook the reins, urged the mount to speed up the pace, and trotted all the way to the Yanwang Mansion. Seeing his proud and confident look, Zheng He's heart was really relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, beat the horse and then followed......
A month later, after a period of rest, the whole army regrouped.
During this period of rest, Zhu Di personally supervised the supply of personnel, replaced the horses of the cavalry with new shoes and saddle bridles, and made up for the missing items in each battalion, and everything had to be done in case of foolproof, before the order was sent and the whole army marched south.
After more than ten days of marching, the Yan army came to Lixian and set up a large camp, considering the real peace, and Sheng Yong of Texas got the news, he would not wait honestly, it was very likely that he would send troops to harass and test it, Zhu Di specially found Li Yuan, and asked him to take his headquarters to Gaocheng to station, so as to monitor the movements of these two places at the same time.
The Yan army marched south again, and the news soon spread to the capital.
What the hell should I do?
Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting alone in the Qianqing Palace, had no idea for a long time.
Since expelling Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai from the capital, he has never been to the East Pavilion, because even in that place that he has always felt familiar, he can only feel the endless cold at this time, but it is the Qianqing Palace that can still bring him a trace of nostalgia.
But this trace of nostalgia comes from that person......
"Your Majesty, the concubine Mei Yin and Lord Mei are waiting outside the palace to ask for a meeting."
The chamberlain walked in and replied cautiously.
In the early dynasty that just ended, in response to the issue of the resurgence of the war in the north, the ministers did not say a word at first, and then they accused each other and denied each other, but there was still no result, if it wasn't for the oath made in front of the emperor's grandfather to be a diligent monarch, Zhu Yunwen really didn't want to go to the early dynasty again, and he couldn't get any good advice anyway.
However, since Mei Yin, who was the minister appointed by the former emperor, could come to see him at this time, he should have come for this matter, so he said,
"Send him to me."
"Summoned to see Mei Yin, the commander of the horsesβ"
The courtiers passed down the message.
After a while, I saw Mei Yin walk in, knelt on the ground, and gave the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. In terms of seniority, Mei Yin is Zhu Yunwen's uncle, an elder, and a minister, so the young emperor is still very polite to him, and after he has given a salute, he will let him get up.
"Uncle is here to see me at this time, but is there anything to say?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly,"
After Mei Yin got up, he said,
"Just now above the court, the minister wanted to say it to the emperor, but it was too noisy at that time, and he couldn't explain it clearly."
"Who's to say it isn't,"
Zhu Yunwen also sighed and said,
"So what does my uncle think?"
"The minister thinks that the war in the north is rising again, so there is no need to worry too much,"
Mei Yin replied very calmly,
"There are Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, and Ping'an in Hebei and Shandong, and they are stationed there, so there should not be much of a problem, although they have also lost to King Yan several times, but in general, the final defense is still very successful. In addition, the strength of the Yan army is limited, and the materials are not as wide as the scope that can be requisitioned by our side of the DPRK and China, and the northern side is relatively scarce, so it is difficult to use troops for a long time, and the minister feels that His Majesty does not need to worry too much. β
"Oh......"
Zhu Yunwen listened to this analysis, and his heart calmed down a little, and said,
"I'm very relieved to hear what you're playing, but it's not a good idea to hold on to each other."
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be anxious about this,"
Mei Yin smiled slightly,
"If we can really hold on, it will naturally be Your Majesty's side, because you are the son of today, and the Yan army's side is a rebel army after all, and there will be chaos after a long time. At that time, it may not be necessary for Your Majesty to send troops to go, and they will be destroyed by themselves within the Yan army. β
"Really?"
Zhu Yunwen really heard of this statement for the first time, and felt that it was very fresh, so he asked,
"So, in your opinion, what should I focus on at the moment?"
"Nature is the sustenance of the soldiers at the front,"
Mei Yin immediately regained his solemn face and said,
"If the supply of grain and grass cannot be supplied, it will be the most unfavorable for combat, and there is also Huai'an Mansion, which is a very important position, and it is impossible not to strengthen the defense."
"Well, it's still my uncle's thoughtfulness,"
Zhu Yunwen nodded frequently when he listened, and thought about it again,
"Then I might as well do this, I will order you to be the chief of soldiers and horses, guard Huai'an, and at the same time carry out my edict and take full responsibility for the allocation of military supplies to various places and timely supply to the soldiers at the front."
"Hmm...... Since His Majesty trusts him so much, he must go all out. β
Mei Yin bowed to accept the order, and then retired from the palace and went to Huai'an to take up his post.
After sending off this minister, Zhu Yunwen's heart calmed down a little, and then he began to think about it again......
After the last anti-plot was unsuccessful, Zhang An, who was returned by Zhu Di, really mustered up the courage to repeat what King Yan said as it was, and Zhu Yunwen was really touched in his heart, feeling that this thing was too much and humiliating. provoked the fourth uncle's father and son to kill each other, and was easily recognized by others, especially the sentence that the fourth uncle said in the end, "I will never do any more negotiations with Fang Xiaoru in the future", Zhu Yunwen actually blamed himself a little, why did he have to hand over these important matters to Huang Zicheng and the three of them as the emperor? In the end, nothing could be done well. If you knew this, it would have been better to decide by yourself at the beginning, and you might not have made it like this at all.
Thinking of this, his mind fell on Zhu Di again, and then he thought of the other uncles, who either fled back to the capital or were imprisoned on the spot...... No, there are two more people, one is the seventeenth uncle Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who has taken refuge in the fourth uncle, and the other is the fifth uncle Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, who is still exiled in Menghua, Yunnan......
King Zhou is the sibling of the fourth uncle, so it is better to move him back to the capital.
