Chapter 75: Ringing Cloud Arrow

The cries of the masses reverberated inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, like a loud war song blowing the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen immediately endured the pain and said that King Yan's ambition to rebel was known to the world, and he would sue the ancestral temple of heaven and earth, cut off the royal family of King Yan, demote him to a commoner, and tell the world about his crimes, so as to set the record straight.

According to the process that the imperial court has always had, the following is Fang Xiaoru's reading of the edict of rebellion.

This is the first time that Fang Xiaoru has written an edict for the imperial court, and the edict is to declare the righteousness of the imperial court and the wrongness of King Yan.

"The Bang family does not make it, and the flesh and blood relatives have repeatedly plotted rebellion. Last year, Zhou Shu was wrong, and resigned from the three kings of Yan, Qi and Xiang. I will stop the crime of righteousness with my relatives. This year, Qi Wang Lang conspired against him, and conspired with Di and Bai, Bai Fu burned himself to death, and Lang has been abolished as a concubine. I was close to my relatives and couldn't bear to deal with it. Today, it is called a rebellion, trying to endanger the sect, and offending the ancestors of heaven and earth, which is incumbent. It is to use the simple hair of the soldiers, and to punish them. The soldiers of the Chinese and foreign subjects of the advisory are loyal and righteous, and they are united with the country, sweeping the atmosphere against the tide, and maintaining peace and order. ”

After the edict, the imperial court carried out a series of arrangements and appointments.

The imperial court set up the Pingyan Political Department in Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei), and the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu Violent Zhao served as the political envoy to coordinate all matters of the Yan.

Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, was the general of the conquest, Li Jian, the commander of the horses, and Ningzhong, the governor of the capital, were the left and right deputy generals, and led an army of 130,000 to defeat Yan Rebellion, known as 300,000, and Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, and Geng Rong, all commanded Sheng Yong, Pan Zhong, Yang Song, Gu Cheng, Xu Kai, Li You, Chen Hui, and Ping'an to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to march separately, and the whole army was claimed to be 500,000, and at the same time the three provinces of Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi were sent to supply military salaries.

This decision of the imperial court was even more radical than Bu Wan, mobilizing a large number of soldiers and horses.

Bu Wan originally only needed Geng Zhen and Xu Kai two soldiers and horses.

However, the imperial court now did not believe in the soldiers and horses of Bu Wan and Daning, and transferred several units of officers and troops from all over the country.

In terms of strength, it is even stronger than Buwan's plan.

However, they did not adopt Bu Wan's other strategy, control the materials, and cut off the logistics supply of the Yan army.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one thought of doing this.

Perhaps they thought that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court could win in one battle, and there was no need for more than that.

The army and supplies in the capital will also depart from the Longjiang Wharf at Longjiang Pass.

Emperor Jianwen personally took hundreds of officials to see them off to the Longjiang Wharf, I don't know if I thought of any historical allusions, before they got on the boat, Zhu Yunwen called Geng Bingwen, Li Jian, Ningzhong and other generals to him, and said that sentence: "Don't let me bear the name of killing my uncle." ”

The generals looked at each other with a look of embarrassment, and Qi Tai on the side listened to it, and felt his eyelids jump, and he had a bad premonition.

When the imperial court was assembling a large army, there were also changes in the north.

First of all, Liu Zhen was good at making claims, and killed Bu Wan before the will of the imperial court arrived.

Xu Zhong is right, this person does things vigorously and resolutely, usually recklessly, originally vigorous and resolute means doing things quickly, and it is usually used as a compliment.

But coupled with recklessness, it is obvious to be blind and foolish.

But Liu Zhen also has a basis for killing Bu Wan, because most of the departments of the Daning Xingdu Division are Bu Wan's henchmen.

After Bu Wan was captured by them, the guards and horses around him were already showing some signs of instability.

Liu Zhen was afraid that it would cause chaos in front of the battle like Song Zhong's Huailai, and Chen Heng deliberately blew the wind on the side, so he simply didn't do anything and killed Bu Wan first.

Two days after Bu Wan was killed, the will of the imperial court also reached the army, asking them to raid Bu Wanjia.

Liu Zhen was very happy now, proving that I had done nothing wrong, and Bu Wan's crime had been recognized by the imperial court.

At the same time, all the departments of the Daning Xingdu Division knew the news that Bu Wan was convicted and killed by the imperial court, and the imperial court ordered Liu Zhen to lead the guards.

All the guards were not convinced.

They were not convinced by Liu Zhen's killing of Bu Wan, and they were even more dissatisfied with Liu Zhen's command ability.

At this time, neither the court nor Liu Zhen could guess that in the future, all the soldiers and horses of Daning would follow King Ning to Zhu Di's side, and half of the reason may be because Bu Wan was killed so casually.

That night, I don't know who took the lead, first quietly withdrew the soldiers and horses to Daning, and then everyone did the same, only one night later, Liu Zhen also wanted to convene the ministries and announce the will of the imperial court, and now I have the final say here, and suddenly found that the guards have withdrawn to their stations.

This made Liu Zhen angry, he almost wanted to lead troops to attack the guards, and retreating without an order on the battlefield was a capital offense.

But the ministries retreated before hearing the holy decree, and Liu Zhen could only convene the ministries and read the holy decree before he could be regarded as the official commander.

And at this time, no matter how stupid Liu Zhen is, he knows that he definitely can't beat his own people.

Liu Zhen was also afraid that King Yan would attack his soldiers and horses, so he hurriedly prepared to lead people to retreat.

However, just as he was about to retreat, good news came from the front line, the imperial court was preparing to send troops to attack Beiping, and King Yan had already withdrawn his troops overnight.

----

Crash, Zhu Gaoxu shot an arrow into a jungle in the west.

There was a crackling horn, and there was a string pulling sound behind him.

Whizzing, and then a rain of arrows followed his arrows, all shooting into the jungle to the west.

In early August, Zhu Gaoxu received a military order in Yongping to retreat to Beiping.

He took his thousands of soldiers and horses with him along the way, and he was still training or playing games as he went.

Recently, he's been practicing 'Ringing Cloud Arrow'.

The so-called a loud cloud arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

Zhu Gaoxu said to his subordinates that when his arrows were tied with red cloth, as long as his arrows were shot, the whole army would follow him.

It is also emphasized that no matter what goals are in front of you and who there are.

Those who do not shoot in violation of the order will be killed.

The sergeants had been practicing with him for several days, and they were basically able to follow Zhu Gaoxu's volley.

But he hasn't fought in actual combat yet, so Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know what the effect is.

However, during this time, everyone's archery and riding skills have also improved a little, of course, compared to the Mongolian cavalry, it is still much worse.

Zhu Gaoxu is basically practicing and playing now, because he can't be sure whether these soldiers and horses will be returned to him after the success of Jingnan.

At this time, after he had finished shooting an arrow, a horse of his own soldiers rushed out and retrieved the arrow tied with a red cloth for him.

"Let's go." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and continued to move forward with everyone.

The army swept away, and from time to time there were people shouting from behind.

Behind Zhu Gaoxu's 1,000 cavalry was Mo Lin and a large convoy, as well as a large number of infantry.

Mo Lin also rode a horse, but he was a civil official and his riding skills were not very good, so he rode slowly.

Behind him were more than a hundred truckloads of salt transported from Changli County to Yongping.

In Yongping Mansion, they recruited a total of more than 2,000 young people, and King Yan will use them to defend Beiping City.

Mo Lin rode a horse and followed behind Zhu Gaoxu, and after seeing that they had just shot an arrow, he accelerated slightly and came to the woods to the west.

Some of Zhu Gaoxu's 1,000 cavalry were infantry, and some were recruits.

I saw that these arrows were shot all over the place, and the arrows at the front and the arrows at the back were more than thirty steps apart.

Arrows were scattered all over the place, and they also formed a huge fan.

He looked at it again and again, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What kind of soldier is the king of Gaoyang County training here, such a rain of arrows, no lethality, isn't it a waste of arrows?" ”

A small group of soldiers and horses accompanying him was led by Liu Rong, the former Miyunwei Baihu.

Liu Rong was the first to pretend to be his father's name Liu Jiang to join the army, and began to follow Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, to conquer the gray mountains and black pine forests, and later served as the general banner and served in the residence of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

He is tall and wise, and Zhu Di values him very much.

Liu Rong said with a smile at this time: "Two days ago, I watched the king of Gaoyang County playing games on the beach every day, shooting his own people with arrows without arrows, and running if he lost, hahaha, it's really interesting." ”

"What is the king of Gaoyang practicing? Riding and archery? Mo Lin asked.

Liu Rong's eyes flashed with contempt: "Now that they are all fighting, what else do you practice riding and shooting?" ”

"There are many Mongolians in the Huozhen army, they have been practicing on horseback since they were children, and King Gaoyang temporarily holds Buddha's feet and has an egg."

"The real riding ** is sharp, and it depends on Duoyan Sanwei."

Mo Lin nodded: "The King of Gaoyang County may have another useful use, we don't know." ”

"Hahaha." Liu Rong laughed wildly.

Smiling and smiling, he turned around and pointed somewhere in front of him: "Shoot me the tallest tree?" ”

He was followed by ten horsemen, and at this time, they all drew their bows and arrows.

The distance is about fifty paces.

Crash, in a string sound.

Tuk tuk, the arrow hit the tree.

"Good archery." Mo Lin praised.

"Master Mo has won the award, we are qualified border soldiers, this is the basic skill." Liu Rong was proud.

The two are boasting about themselves.

Suddenly a cavalry came over in front: "The king of Gaoyang County has an order, let the two of you speed up and keep up with us, and the salt cart will let the infantry follow slowly." ”

Now this side is basically controlled by Zhu Di, and there are no officials and soldiers, so Zhu Gaoxu asked them to leave quickly.

Because Zhu Di asked him to protect Mo Lin, and Mo Lin swallowed slowly.

Mo Lin and Liu Rong glanced at each other, and invariably pinched the horse's belly in the same place: "Go, drive." ”

Speed up slightly and chase forward.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to Beiping with Mo Lin on August 4.

At this time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had just returned from Daning.

Because he had received the news, the court issued an edict to strip him of his clan and levy a large army against him.

The clouds of the Great War hung over Beiping, and everyone knew that the imperial court was serious.

Zhu Di came back and was shocked and angry when he saw the edict, and in order to resist the edict of the imperial court, he immediately issued another letter to the generals and the military and civilians.

This time, the proclamation scolded Zhu Yunwen for being a bloody dog, and formed Zhu Yunwen with 'young rush and insatiable, ** excessive, arrogant, and wanton', and also falsely accused Zhu Yunwen of murdering Taizu, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was killed by Zhu Yunwen.

In order to show that they are the righteous side, the two sides started to talk to each other first.

As a cross-traveler, Zhu Gaoxu was very strange about this approach.

The ancients liked to take advantage of the righteousness and be famous, but they didn't know that it was useless to say anything before, only to win in the end, and have the supreme right to speak, your fart is fragrant.

After returning to Beiping City, Zhu Gaoxu hurried back to the palace first.

These days outside, he can't eat or sleep well, he still has to learn from some famous generals in ancient times, eat and live in the barracks every day, shout at the soldiers, and pretend to be very tired.

As soon as he entered the gate, he asked people to take off the heavy armor on his body first, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

The steps immediately became cheerful, too.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Hou Hai, Qian Xun, Li Mo and others came over one after another, and everyone was of course very happy to see Zhu Gaoxu come back.
