Chapter 127: Huang Taiqing turned the tide
In the third year of Jianwen, on May 30, the Yan army arrived in Xuzhou.
The Xuzhou guards did not come out, Zhu Di changed the attack mode that was slightly converged before, and aimed the cannon at the north gate of Xuzhou, the rumbling cannon sound was deafening, and it sounded again on the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and the city wall collapsed instantly.
Zhu Di did not enter Xuzhou, he seemed to be impatient to attack Yingtianfu, only sent Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaoxu into the city to accept the grain and grass treasury of the southern army, and sent the commander Li Rang to pay tribute to the tomb of his grandfather King Xu, and then advanced towards Lingbi.
Historically, the Battle of Lingbi was so wonderful that it can be said that there is no coincidence.
He Fu, the general of the Southern Army, led more than 10,000 elites to fight with the Yan Army, and the enemy was unable to support it, so he fled into the camp and held on behind closed doors.
The generals of the Yan army said that He Fu was going to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but Zhu Di said, no, this was to escape.
He Fu happened to be instructing the soldiers of the Southern Army that three cannons would sound early tomorrow morning, and the army would retreat, and it would be agreed to meet at the Huai River for food. The next day, Zhu Di personally led the generals to the city, and three cannons rang out, but the southern army thought it was a signal to retreat and fled.
For a time, the door was blocked, and the Yan army took the opportunity to break the camp and captured Ping'an, who was not dead at that time, and some other generals of the Southern Army, and captured more than 150 civil and military officials of Zhu Yunwen, captured countless people, and surrendered countless people.
This is the battle of Lingbi in history, and it is simply ridiculous.
At this time, Ping'an was already dead, and Lingbi was vulnerable, and it was pushed to the south of the Huai River, from Xuyi, to Yangzhou.
The Yangzhou garrison surrendered without a fight, and Gaoyou, Tongzhou, and Taixing took the initiative to surrender and help collect ships for the Yan army to cross the river.
At this time, no one in the imperial court had any interest in political affairs, and they all asked to go out of Beijing to defend the city, whether they wanted to escape from Yingtianfu or really go out to help defend the city, it is unknown.
Ying Tianfu is empty, Zhu Yunwen sits on the dragon chair, there is only one Fang Xiaoru by his side who can still give him advice, civil and military officials are like birds with a frightened bow, only Fang Xiaoru is calm, what to do every day or what to do.
Yao Xi, the prefect of Suzhou, saw that the situation was not good, fled into the capital, and was summoned by Zhu Yunwen, Yao Xi said indignantly, "In today's world, it is not that there is no person who can help the people in danger with literary talent and military strategy, why doesn't the emperor use it?" The situation is so messy that this person should be summoned quickly. ”
As soon as Zhu Yunwen heard this, he hurriedly asked who it was.
Yao Xi refused to say it, Zhu Yunwen asked again and again, and promised that if he said it incorrectly, or if he couldn't recommend it, he would forgive Yao Xi's sin.
Yao Xi said, "Today, the person with such a great talent is none other than Huang Taiqing, please summon him and reuse him!" ”
Huang Taiqing is no one else, it is Huang Zicheng, who was expelled from Beijing by Zhu Yunwen at a critical moment in order to deal with Zhu Di, and before being deposed, he was appointed as Taichang Siqing.
Zhu Yunwen was about to be summoned on the spot, but was stopped by Fang Xiaoru, and after Fang Xiaoru left, Zhu Yunwen asked people to look for him, but Huang Zicheng was no longer in Beijing.
In the huge palace, it seems that Zhu Yunwen is the only one left, he sits on the high dragon chair, looking around, but finds that he is the only one alone.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen doesn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
The sound of light footsteps sounded, and Zhu Yunwen didn't want to look back until a gust of fragrant wind wafted into his nose, and he turned around and saw that it was Lan'er, who had just entered the palace.
Lan'er held a bowl of white fungus soup in her hand, she lowered her eyelids, the tails of her eyes were slightly upturned, and she was bewitching, like a thousand-year-old fox demon who had become a spirit, with a towering chest, slightly upturned buttocks, a touch of waist, and Ying Ying could hold it.
When she opened her eyes, a pair of eyes were like a clear spring, clear and unforgettable.
This girl was brought into the palace by the big eunuch in the palace of the Queen Mother, saying that it was convex and backward to give birth and raise, and the Queen Mother stayed by her side to serve, Zhu Yunwen went to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and after seeing each other, she couldn't take her eyes off, and the Queen Mother was in charge and let Zhu Yunwen accept her.
"Your Majesty, you haven't taken a sip of water for two days, how can your body stand it if you stay up like this?"
Wu Nong's soft words were not as soft as Lan'er's yellow warbler's voice out of the valley, like a clear spring, which washed away the depression that Zhu Yunwen was blocking in his chest.
He pulled Lan'er to sit down beside him, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder, even at this time, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to do anything, as long as he had such a shoulder to rely on, it was enough.
"Lan'er, am I going to be the first person in history to be robbed of the throne by a vassal king?" Zhu Yunwen said, his nose was sour, speaking of which, he was also a poor person who was cared for and grew up, never experienced ups and downs, and had to go through life and death as soon as he came up.
Lan'er couldn't help but think of when she was a child, when she was eight years old, Jinyiwei rushed into the house, rummaging through the cabinets, she, her mother, and her sisters and brothers, like livestock, were enclosed in the courtyard, the howling north wind blew on their bodies like knives, and a pair of lewd eyes, like dirty hands, desecrated the whole body of her mother, aunts, sisters and sisters, making people feel ashamed and angry.
What is this? Lan'er thought disdainfully in her heart, compared to what the Lan family had suffered, what were these today?
The Zhu family's country was not lost, my grandfather opened up territory for the Zhu family, and beat the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the south for several years.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Lan'er gently held Zhu Yunjiao's head in her arms, while comforting softly, "Emperor, you still want to open some, it has not reached the point of being out of control, the military generals of the Chinese courtiers, there are many people, there are always people who can help the emperor block the Yan army from going south." ”
She was thinking in her heart, it's so good, the sky really has eyes, even if this mother and son get the world, when retribution comes, no one can stop it!
"Who? Who can stop King Yan? ”
Lan'er sighed faintly, "Your Majesty, King Yan has been stationed in Beiping for nearly twenty years, and over the years, he has fought countless battles with Beiyuan, and his generals are like clouds, if the emperor can send more powerful generals than him, he will definitely be able to stop it!" “
Who else is a more powerful general than King Yan? At this moment, Zhu Yunwen finally thought that all the generals who were able to fight back then were killed by the emperor's grandfather!
And the reason why the emperor's grandfather killed those generals was because his mother stuffed a thorn full of thorns into his hand and made him hold it tightly, and the thorn pierced his hand and was bloody.
Seeing that his hand was so injured that he couldn't write, the imperial grandfather learned that he was accidentally stabbed by a thorn, and thought a little.
Later, none of the generals who were able to lead troops to fight in the DPRK and China died well.
The so-called, the bird is hidden in the bow and the lackeys are cooked.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was also a little thoughtful, his eyes were dull, as if he was stupid.
The Lu family led the palace eunuchs to come in a hurry, Lan'er heard the passage, and in a panic, she hurriedly pushed Zhu Yunwen away, knelt on the ground, and quietly hid behind the Panlong pillar.
Zhu Yunwen was not angry, looking at Lan'er's timid appearance, his heart was depressed for a while, but when his mother came later, he had to deal with it.
"Emperor, it's all at this time, why do you still have such leisure?" Lu's knife-like gaze swept towards Lan'er, and he resisted the urge to slap this unfortunate son, and he was about to be lost by him.
"Queen Mother, you said that back then, the generals in the Hongwu period did not die so desperately, what kind of situation will it be today?" Zhu Yunwen dared to ask his mother, looking directly into Lu's eyes for the first time, and did not miss the flash of panic in her eyes.
