Chapter 52: The Verge (Asking for Votes and Seeking Reading)
Seeing that the relationship between the father and son was so deep, all the civil and military officers in the hall were silent.
Only Yao Guangxiao's expression was thoughtful, is the King of Gaoyang saying that King Yan does not understand gratitude, does not understand filial piety, and goes against the wishes of Taizu?
But Zhu Gaochu didn't point to Sang scolding Huai, his penultimate words were made by feeling, and he said it very sincerely, because whether he wanted it or not, he was now Zhu Di's son, and once he failed, he and Zhu Di might be killed.
So he can't drag Zhu Di back no matter what, and he must let Jing Nan succeed.
King Yan also obviously felt Zhu Gaoxu's sincerity, and he was very happy in his heart, Gaoxu was finally sensible and could help me a lot.
After a while, Qiu Fu came to report that after Ge Cheng and Lu Zhen were arrested, they both scolded King Yan for wanting to rebel, and confirmed that they were spies in the court.
There was a sudden scolding in the hall, but King Yan calmed down, and after the panic just now, he quickly recovered his mentality.
Originally, he wanted to wait for the army to be raised, but now he knew that the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent.
He left Zhu Gaochu and explained their arrangement to Zhu Gaochu in detail, because Zhu Gaochu had not been arranged to be in it before, so he asked: "Gaoxu, take a look, do you follow to attack the Nine Gates, or do you have other ideas?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Erchen's soldiers and horses are not elite enough, there are many recruits, Erchen is afraid that the attack on the Nine Gates will not succeed, but it will damage the morale of the army, why don't Erchen take soldiers and horses on the street, as a preparation, clean up the defeated soldiers, or guard the streets and alleys, and find an opportunity to capture the Yamen Treasury?" ”
"Okay, let's do it." King Yan exclaimed.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhu Gaoxu woke up in the county king's mansion.
In fact, he barely fell asleep last night, and he was intermittent, dazed, and half-asleep, because he had been worried in his heart, worried that suddenly a soldier would rush into the county king's mansion.
Fortunately, Zhang Xin was as reliable as in history, and nothing happened that day.
But in fact, on that day, a large number of soldiers and horses were being mobilized inside and outside Beiping City, but Zhang Xin was on the side of King Yan, and the officers and soldiers did not make the first move.
As usual, after he woke up, Yaya and Ruo'er outside also came in quickly.
The two little girls didn't sleep well and kept yawning.
Zhu Gaoxu saw that the sky outside was still a little dim, and he knew that it was still early.
"What time is it today?" Zhu Gaoxu asked suddenly.
The two little girls were stunned, but Ruo'er said: "Back to Your Highness, the fifth day of the seventh month." ”
"What time is it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.
"Four o'clock."
Daming has eight quarters an hour, fifteen minutes per quarter, which is equivalent to about four o'clock in the morning.
Zhu Gaoxu washed quickly, and when he was washing his face, he had already heard the sound of armor outside.
When he opened the door, he saw that many people had gathered in the courtyard.
Chen Wen, Wang Bin, Wei Da, Jing Sheng, Song Meng, Zhou Hu and others were all there, and even Zhong Xian was waiting outside.
Except for Zhong Xian, all of them are fully armed, they are all wearing a kind of armor, later generations called the Ming Dynasty Song style armor, the main style is similar to the Song Dynasty, in the Song Dynasty style base, cancel the waist, belly, no drape, arm guards, replaced by a new style of iron arms. This iron arm hand holds the iron piece with a fabric sleeve, which can be snapped together with the body armor for better performance.
If this whole set of armor with a pocket guard weighs 40 catties, it is about 30 catties without a pocket guard, and the cost is also very expensive, with a protective area of ninety percent, all of which were obtained by Zhu Gaoxu himself in the past, and there are a total of nine bodies in the entire county king's mansion, all of which are used today.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu come out, everyone clasped their fists: "Your Highness." ”
Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect everyone to get up earlier than him.
"Haha, it seems that this king is the latest to get up?"
Everyone smiled and looked at each other a few times, and everyone was indeed more excited than Zhu Gaoxu.
Because war was coming, all felt that fame and fortune were beckoning to them.
Compared with the civilian officials in Beiping, these generals preferred war.
"Wait for the king for a moment." Zhu Gaoxu waved to Zhong Xian, Zhong Xian hurriedly ran over, and he was followed by two personal soldiers.
The three of them went to the next room with Zhu Gaoxu, and when Zhu Gaoxu came out, he was already wearing armor.
This will be July, and it's strange to say, I don't know if it's God's help, or because it's early, after everyone wears heavy armor, it doesn't feel too stuffy.
Zhu Gaoxu was also followed by two soldiers, one was Zhao Qing and Sun Sheng, both of whom were relatively smart.
Zhao Qing was holding Zhu Gaoxu's four small iron axes in his left and right hands, and there was a long knife at his waist.
Sun Sheng held Zhu Gaoxu's horse lance in his left hand, while Zhong Xian held Zhu Gaoxu's bow and arrows.
"Let's go." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard with a group of people.
Someone outside was already waiting with his BMW on his feet, and then first hung Zhu Gaoxu's bow and arrows, iron axe, etc., the iron axe was hung in a leather case, and the axe handle could be inserted into it, which was very convenient.
Zhu Gaoxu's entire armament and armor are almost close to sixty or seventy pounds, plus his own weight, which is equivalent to two ordinary people planted in the shadows.
Zhu Gaoxu was still worried about the shadow before, but after riding for a while, he found that the shadow was also quite strong in weight-bearing, and Zhu Gaoxu usually did not use a horse to fight for a long time, if he was on the battlefield, he would prepare two or three horses for himself, ready to replace at any time.
When he led the horse to the front yard, someone came to report: "Sun Qianhu has arrived." ”
"Okay, go ahead with the plan." Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.
In the crowd, Chen Wen, Song Meng, and immediately took a team of soldiers out to join Sun Yan.
------
At this time, there was a solemn atmosphere everywhere in Beiping City, and in the past two days, troops and horses inside and outside the city were frequently mobilized, and since yesterday morning, Beiping City is only allowed to go out, not allowed to come in.
Even the people of the city sensed that something was wrong, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets since yesterday afternoon.
Zhang Yu and Xie Gui seemed to be very confident, in the past two days, soldiers and horses have been transferred into the city one after another, and there are soldiers and horses of the Beiping Seven Guards patrolling everywhere on the street, and on the surface, they have controlled the whole city.
The gate of Yanwang's Mansion was closed, and there was almost no sound or news coming out from inside, and it seemed to be dead silent.
At this time, in the Yamen of the Beiping Dusi, Zhang Yu, Xie Gui, and Yu Yao were all there.
Yu Yao is one of the seven guards in Beiping, the seven guards in Beiping mobilized this time, Yu Yao contributed a lot, and his Jiyang guard station dispatched more than 1,000 people.
"There is no news from King Yan's Mansion, the door is closed, does King Yan still want to fight the trapped beasts?" Xie Gui smiled: "Or are you thinking about surrendering?" ”
Zhang Yu and Yu Yao smiled in unison.
In their opinion, in the past two days, they mobilized their soldiers and horses, first guarded the nine gates, and then arranged them in various important places, and the streets were full of their soldiers and horses patrolling, and the gate of Yanwang's Mansion was closed, and it was already firmly surrounded, and it was impossible to stir up wind and waves.
"What about the commander of Zhang Du?" Yu Yao thought of something at this time.
"Zhang Xin is mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to enter the Yanwang Mansion to arrest people." Zhang Yu is confident.
