Capital.

"It's messy, it's all messy!"

The little princess sat in her carriage and looked at the soldiers mobilized outside, and said angrily.

Lan Yu has already begun to attack Kaifeng.

But the situation is not optimistic......

His heavy artillery hadn't been delivered yet, and this kind of thing had to be transported by water.

But now the Yellow River channel to the north of Huai'an is still frozen, even if you take the Huai River, several rivers to the north are also frozen, those heavy artillery has just arrived in Huai'an, and the field artillery rapid-fire guns he can carry can't blast Kaifeng City. However, Kaifeng City, as the capital of Henan, has a bunch of various types of artillery on the city wall, and all kinds of materials are enough to support it for a year or two.

Then there was an artillery battle between the two sides.

As for digging tunnels and blasting, this one doesn't mean much to the warring parties who are familiar with each other.

Even a real siege could not be done, because the cavalry of the defenders of the city was stronger.

In fact, Zhu Di's cavalry went out of the city many times to raid the imperial army, and the latter lost more than he won, in addition to the fact that these cavalry were all returned from the western expedition, and the combat effectiveness itself was extremely strong, and more importantly, the morale of the imperial court army was not high.

Even some of the generals released water.

That's for sure.

In the end, even the emperor himself did not say that his uncles were rebels.

This is important.

This is a family affair of the Zhu family, no matter how it is calculated, it is also a matter of uncles and nephews, if it is clear that they are rebelling, then these generals can still fight without distraction. But now that the emperor has not decreed that they will rebel, it is difficult for these generals to say what will happen if one of them is killed, and even the possibility of being convicted is not impossible.

And Zhu Di himself is extremely feared by the army.

Many of them are still his old ministry.

Over the years, he conquered the Mongols, the Jurchens, and the Wa Kingdoms, all of which were patchwork armies from all over the country.

Like the conquest of the Japanese State back then, many of the Shandong Metropolitan Divisions participated in the war, and there were also many in the capital, these people didn't want to fight against him, and it was now a time when the nature was unknown.

Be smart!

As for Lan Yu, it's useless.

One is that he doesn't have those righteous sons now, and he is not so easy to act after all, and the other is that he has been retired for many years, and the military science and technology of the Ming Dynasty are changing with each passing day, and in less than seven years, he has evolved from a musket gun to a small number of flintlock guns, and from Hongwu cannons to Hongyi cannons.

Seven years of science and technology span two hundred and fifty years, and he has been retired for many years, and he is not suitable for new tactics.

For example, when the cavalry attacked, he obviously lacked knowledge of the camel city.

His old-style cavalry couldn't break through Zhang Fu's camel city tactics at all.

In the same way, he also needed a process of adaptation to the power of the new weapons, because he had never faced a battle with these weapons, and he was even so close to the battlefield that he was almost decapitated by the shells of the field artillery. Although his incomparably rich combat experience allowed him to learn new forms of engagement in the shortest possible time, he could not compare to those who had been training in combat with these new weapons for many years. Why is Zhang Fu the best to play Camel City, he has been taught by Yang Feng since the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and now it is the first year of Chengguang or the thirty-second year of Hongwu, and he has been playing for almost seven years.

There were countless battles during this period.

Not to mention the westward expedition through the entire Mobei grassland, and then all the way to the river.

Old-style cavalry tactics, Sapphire is at the level of his ancestor.

With the new cavalry tactics, Lan Yu is at most at the level of his apprentice.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves will eventually die on the beach.

Not to mention Zhang Fu, even if the Shenji Battalion is like Guo Yong, these people who used to be his subordinates were not good, and they are much stronger than him in the use of new tactics, especially the use of artillery, and the current blue jade is more of a signboard in the army.

But he can't beat Kaifeng, and the situation around him is constantly changing.

The guards of the king of Jin went south from Shuofang, and with the cooperation of the guards of the acting king, they quickly controlled Datong, and then united with the king of the valley of Xuanfu, and the three kings actually controlled Xuanda, and united with the king of Ning, so that the four kings guarded the control of the entire Monan. And the Zhu Gaochi brothers in the south controlled Beiping, and the five families still formed a union and had the ability to go south, as for the imperial court guards in these places, because the main forces were in the Western Regions and did not come back, and those who stayed did not want to fight, so they were basically held by the infant city. Anyway, the generals don't participate in the actions of the king's guards, but they don't interfere either, after all, everyone is relatives and friends, and there is really no need to get involved in this situation where the situation is unclear.

The latter, of course, will not attack them either.

The business travel in various places was normal, and the magistrates did it, that is, the vassal king's guards acted without a holy decree.

But the local health station did not intercept either.

Originally, Guo Ying and Xu Huizu suppressed the north, but Guo Ying was imprisoned, Xu Huizu went south to Shaanxi to suppress the Qin domain, and the armies left behind Shanxi could only hold on.

Or self-preservation.

Shanxi military households are inherently different.

This is a war with the imperial court, for these military households, as long as there is no order from Yang Feng or Yang Feng's women, everyone can maintain this state of self-preservation.

And you can get rich.

For example, the sale of armor, weapons and ammunition to various armies, including guards.

What a chance!

Anyway, even if the kings of Xuanda go south, it is impossible to go to Shanxi, and the imperial army goes north, this is even more impossible, after all, Kaifeng must be laid first, so just look at it. Xu Huizu entered Xi'an, but he couldn't order an attack on the Qin Palace, this had to be done with a holy decree, and the only thing he could do was to ensure that the guards of the three kings of Zhou Suqing would not enter the pass. But Longyou didn't have the ability to go over, and the generals of the guards there also protected themselves, but fortunately, the guards of the three kings did not venture eastward.

They are waiting.

Wait for Zhu Di to make up his mind.

Once Zhu Di made up his mind, he could send someone to gather servants to the Western Regions.

However, the guards of the King of Liao were targeted by Yang Wen's army and died in Guangning.

The King of Liao himself only took two thousand guards to participate in the coalition army in Kaifeng, and his combat effectiveness of two thousand was second only to Zhu Di's three thousand, and those essential dragoons with spears and bows and arrows on their backs often rushed out to attack, because Lan Yu's siege could not actually be truly surrounded, and they even bypassed it with their speed, and then ran to attack Lan Yu's logistics line.

As for the king of Chu, he still blocked the Yangtze River.

Li Jinglong, who was reactivated, led Chen Xuan and other troops to the west with a naval division, and then attacked Wuchang.

But it didn't open.

The army and people of Wuchang worked together to unite under the hands of the king of Chu against the imperial court, after all, because of Liu Sanwu's death, the Huguang gentry were hostile to Zhu Yunxi, although he died in the imperial prison, and it was Yang Feng who did the trouble.

But Yang Feng is Zhu Yunxi's dog-headed military advisor.

Song Zhong is Zhu Yunxi's minion.

So it is obvious that Zhu Yunxi and Yang Feng designed to kill Liu Sanwu, and killed Zhu Yunxi, the teacher and the most important adviser, and now the king of Chu is making trouble, of course, the gentry of Wuchang fully support it, and even the gentry in other parts of Huguang are also waving their flags for the king of Chu, such as bribing Tusi to make trouble, and containing the guards in various parts of Huguang.

Among all the vassal kings, only the stupid King of Qi did not move, and the other King of Shu entered Beijing.

"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"

The little princess said hatefully again.

"Why don't we use the newspaper to make it public that the master is in Huining?"

Haruhime said.

"What's the use of being public, now it's all like this, who will listen when he comes out to speak? Besides, if he can let the fourth brother and others stop the army, wouldn't he be more effective than the emperor in his words? What do you make the emperor think? ”

The little princess said.

She's not a kid anymore.

She was well aware of Yang Feng's awkward position in Daming.

Although Zhu Yunxi and Yang Feng have a good relationship, it was before he became the emperor, and he needed Yang Feng's support, but now that he has become the emperor, he may not necessarily like someone who is actually more effective than the emperor to speak. The relationship between Yang Feng and her father can be said to be known to the whole world, no emperor can like such an existence in his country, if Yang Feng can stop the kings, then he will make Zhu Yunxi even more vigilant.

It won't fall well.

Besides, there is no way for the kings to retreat.

"Let's see, whoever wins on the left and right won't move us in the end."

She continued.

Indeed, whoever wins will not move them.

The carriage continued to move forward, when several little girls came running......

"Auntie, Fourth Niang."

They gathered around the carriage and saluted.

These are all Yang Feng's righteous daughters, his first batch of righteous daughters have grown up, basically married to Yang Feng's employees, many of them are in the capital, but during this period, Yang Feng's righteous daughters are long-term, not only bought from outside, such as the Korean Wa Kingdom and even Tusi, even the orphan daughters of the Ming Dynasty are also accepted.

Therefore, on Wutai Mountain, the number of these underage righteous daughters has always been maintained at two or three thousand.

They all call Yang Feng their father.

So the little princess and the others are of course mothers, although strictly speaking, Yang Feng's concubines only have Chunji and Green Slave, but this kind of trivial matter doesn't have to care.

The little princess is the eldest mother, Zhang Ying's second mother, the third mother of the green slave, the fourth mother of Chunji, and Gu Lina should be the fifth mother, but she has not ignored it.

"What?"

Haruhime said.

"Siniang, we were playing outside just now, and we met a person, it seems to be that Fang Xiaoru."

A righteous woman said.

"Fang Xiaoru, didn't he run away with Yun Wei? You're not mistaken? ”

The little princess immediately stepped forward.

"Back to the eldest mother, when he was in the capital, we often played with a girl in his family, and we went to his house a few times, I should not admit that I was wrong, and he also reprimanded us, saying that we don't understand etiquette."

Another righteous woman said.

The little princess took out a few treasure bills......

"Let's play with it!"

She said.

A few righteous women hurriedly took it, and then ran away happily.

In fact, these righteous women are more efficient in conducting intelligence in the capital than Jinyi Wei, because they are all children, no one pays attention to them at all, and as long as they don't go to class, they run around the capital. They have pocket money, and they can do business, selling candy, toys and books among the children in the capital, in short, they have a set of underground intelligence networks.

And even if Jin Yiwei is disguised, it is impossible to go to someone's house to spy on intelligence.

They don't talk about the inner house, and no one pays attention to them when they run to other people's studies.

Two or three thousand little girls, all by one there are all kinds of good things, it is not easy to coax a few children outside, and a few pieces of candy can be taken home to play if the relationship is good.

"Fang Xiaoru, what is he secretly running back for?"

The little princess said with a frown.

Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng have been wanted, they and Zhu Yunwen have been together, as for Qi Tai, she guessed, but if this kind of thing happened, even if it was a guess, she had to tell Zhu Yunxi, so Qi Tai had been dismissed. However, Zhu Yunxi did not have evidence of Qi Tai's involvement, but he was dismissed under the pretext of poor handling of military affairs. But even if the letter is suspicious, like this suspicious, he can no longer stay in the heavy responsibility of the military department, just let him go home and wait, once it is really found out, it is not too late to raid the house, anyway, his house is in Lishui.

"Go, enter the palace, there must be some conspiracy for him to enter Beijing at this time."

The little princess then said.

Her carriage immediately turned to the palace.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru had already entered a temple.

"Mr. Zhengxue, can you go smoothly along the way?"

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward with a smile.

Well, he's the mastermind behind it.

This guy has been in Beiping before, he is against Zhu Di's move to the Western Regions, and he, Zhu Gaochi's brothers and Zhang Yu are all opposed, after all, for them, fighting for the world is the right reason, what are you doing in a place like the Western Regions? So Zhu Di didn't take him with him, he has always traveled back and forth between Beiping and Beijing.

Anyway, it's convenient by sea.

At this time, the use of new schooner clippers in north-south sea transportation was already common.

"Look at the door, why not be afraid of the faint king's minions."

Fang Xiaoru said proudly.

He is not bragging, in the process of infiltrating the capital, he was all under the protection of the gentry from all over the country.

Including entering the capital, they all relied on the help of the local gentry.

"The people of Guangze are longing!"

Yao Guangxiao said with emotion.

Then he smiled deeply.

"But now that he has ascended the throne, not to mention that it is the choice of Emperor Daxing, what can King Guangze do even if he wants the people? After all, I can't take the throne, my king and others don't have to worry, at most, they can't do anything, they are just ordered to return to the Western Regions, and they won't continue to entangle themselves in the future.

But if it comes to that time, King Guangze may only be a cup of poisonous wine. ”

He said.

"What does the master want to say?"

Fang Xiaoru said.

He came to Beijing to discuss the next step with Yao Guangxiao.

With his pedantic mind, how could he play this series of cunning operations, flee with Zhu Yunwen, run to Jingzhou, and use the psychology of the king of Xiang to push Zhu Di to the throne, deliberately lead him into the water and then constantly stimulate him, and finally make the king of Xiang commit suicide and then anger Zhu Di and the vassal kings, Zhu Yunwen ran to Zhu Di and the vassal kings to cry again.

This plan is interlocking, and you have to be familiar with the personalities of King Xiang and Zhu Di, especially the relationship between their brothers.

It's all up to Yao Guangxiao.

Then he continued to sit in the capital.

Now everything has come true according to his plan.

So what's next?

"King Guangze has only one possibility to ascend the throne, and he will suddenly die today."

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

Fang Xiaoru fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, the point is that he doesn't know how to do it!

"Mr. Zhengxue, if you Confucian students still want to have a good life for the lord and saints, you can only go out and fight to the death, we don't have the need to fight hard, even if I leave tomorrow and find the king to return to the Western Regions with a truce and order, it is indispensable to be the national teacher, but you Confucianism is over.

Mr. Zhengxue, when Confucianism was dying, were there not a few martyrs? ”

Yao Guangxiao said.

As he spoke, he placed a flintlock pistol on the table.

Then he looked at Fang Xiaoru with a deep smile.
