Chapter 21: Qu Neng and King Jin

Fu Youde pondered for a moment and said: "Although Beijing is heavy, it is only repeated with the power of the imperial court, and now the weight of everything lies in the Beijing Division, His Royal Highness ascended the throne and took the throne to reassure the people. This is the most important thing, so that the situation in the north is to block Beijing and not disperse. The dog is in Japan, so he can be ordered to go west, and lead the Japanese troops of Goryeo to enter Liaodong. Although it is said that it is difficult to fight in a hurry, it can also contain the soldiers and horses of Liaodong and must not act rashly. Ordered Qu Neng to lead the east to win, Datong soldiers and horses, eastward, and contain the soldiers and horses in Beijing. Then send a general, so that the soldiers of Shandong and Henan, slowly go north, trap Beijing in the land of bullets, and after His Majesty ascends the throne, the old minister will lead the troops to the north to destroy this dynasty food. This is the best arrangement, but there are a few obstacles that the old minister can't grasp."

Zhu Yunwen said, "Guogong, please speak."

Fu Youde said: "Qu Neng, this person, was originally the commander of Sichuan, valued by Emperor Zhenzong, promoted to the north, guarded Dongsheng for many years, repeatedly made military exploits, and the ministers watched his use of troops, quite methodical, with the posture of a famous general, and could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but the ministers didn't know, how did this person treat His Royal Highness?"

Zhu Yunwen frowned.

Fu Youde understood what he meant, Qu Neng, was a close confidant of the prince, and there was no doubt about this. Without the promotion of the crown prince, Qu Neng would not be where he is today. In the circle of honors, who is who's who. That's clear. But Prince Zhu Biao's person may not be Zhu Yunwen's person.

The entanglement in this, Fu Youde is not very clear.

Even Fu Youde has another meaning, if Qu Neng takes refuge in Beijing. Then, it is very likely that Beijing's power is not only Beijing, but also Liaodong. Even the entire northern front, Datong, Monan, and Hetao areas are included, so that Beijing will have a huge cavalry.

This is not good news for Zhu Yunwen.

Qu Neng, this person, suddenly became the top priority.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Fang Xiaoru and Ding Xian.

The two were silent.

Without him, both are civilians, and in their areas of expertise, they are the best, but not in the military. Not to mention the network of relationships between the noble generals. This is even more confusing to them.

Zhu Yunwen is not very clear about this.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Who can Qu Neng befriend in the army?"

Fu Youde said, "He used to fight under Lan Yu, but he was later transferred away by Emperor Zhenzong. If you have a deeper friendship with someone, it's Lanyu."

Zhu Yunwen had a headache, and secretly said in his heart: "Blue jade, it's blue jade again."

He was already feeling the backlash of the blue jade case at this moment.

The same thing, different people to do, is not the same. Zhu Yuanzhang came to do it, not without backlash. But the plan will never be so big as Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen not only did it, but also deliberately expanded it in order to purge Zhu Xiongying's supporters.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen doesn't understand, and Fang Xiaoru and Ding Xian don't understand either.

They didn't kill Zhu Xiongying's supporters, they killed the Chang Yuchun faction in the army.

Xu Chang also said that to be honest, Chang Yuchun's power in the army is not as good as Xu Da's. Not to mention that Chang Yuchun died early, and his son was not angry, if it weren't for the blue jade that could support the portal, Chang Yuchun's vein would have been unpopular in the army a long time ago.

But even so, as one of the largest military leaders since the founding of the country, the relationship network of this vein does not know how deep and wide it is.

If you want to uproot, it is too difficult. Not to mention, Lan Yu supports Zhu Xiongying because of Zhu Xiongying's maternal family, but not everyone in the Chang Yuchun faction thinks so. Everyone came out to mix, what they wanted was fame and wealth, not to mention that Chang Yuchun had been dead for decades. How much love is left back then, he is really loyal to the Chang family, and he will not let Chang Mao be exiled, and he doesn't care much.

Not to mention, between the Ming Dynasty and the nobles, the bones were broken and the tendons were connected, and it was also Zhu Yuanzhang who was divided for a long time before various factions were formed, otherwise, they would unite and have only one name, the Huaixi Heroes Group. That's not easy to deal with.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a tricky question, and Zhu Yunwen didn't know the depth of the knife. Naturally hit the hard bones.

Fang Xiaoru said, "The minister thought that he should send someone to Dongsheng overnight

, persuade General Qu, if the minister remembers correctly, General Qu's family should be in Nanjing."

Fu Youde nodded. Although he felt that this thing was not authentic. But this fact cannot be denied, Qu Neng's father's name is Qu Tong, a veteran of Huaixi, and he has already held important positions in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the thirteenth year of Hongwu. Although there is no marquis. But it is also one step away from the earl, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave the mansion in Nanjing. After his death, he was buried in his hometown in Hefei. But Qu Neng's family settled in Nanjing.

Fang Xiaoru said: "Let General Qu's nephew go to pass the decree, and posthumously crown General Qu as his uncle. Led the children of the Qu family into the palace guards. What does the Duke think?"

Fu Youde said, "Lao Chen and Qu Neng are not very familiar with each other."

It is indeed not very familiar, as mentioned above, the internal factions of the Ming army have been formed before and after Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river, Feng Sheng, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu and others, including Chang Yuchun, have already held important positions in the army before crossing the river, or their relatives have held important positions in the army. And Fu Youde, a general who defected under Chen Youliang, although he is also from Huaixi, but the two sides are not the same number. This is also why Fu Youde has only emerged in recent years. If you don't get on these veterans, you really can't fight. It will take longer for Fu Youde to emerge.

And the Qu family is a member of who Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river with.

Not a factional.

Ding Xian said: "In this way, the minister thinks that he should set up a backhand."

Zhu Yunwen said, "Back hand? What's the backhand?"

Ding Xian said, "King Jin."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, the King of Jin jumped up and down after the death of the queen is still in front of him. It's strange that Zhu Yunwen has a good impression of King Jin. However, after this incident, King Jin was driven back to his fiefdom and became a turtle with a shrunken head.

Zhu Yuanzhang should have forgotten this son.

And Zhu Yunwen has always wanted to move, but he didn't move King Jin.

There are two reasons, first, he showed his filial character in front of Zhu Yunwen, no matter what King Jin said, they are all elders. Nature can't help but be kind. If you do it to King Jin, you will leave a bad reputation.

Second, the power of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty is not small, and Zhu Yunwen does not dare to offend them.

However, Zhu Yunwen has always had the idea of settling accounts after the autumn. He had already thought about it. Uszang is very good. Historically, Wusizang, that is, Tibet, entered the dynasty during the Yongle period and was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is indirect rule.

Now the power of the Ming Dynasty has increased greatly. In the war against the southwest, it showed extremely strong combat effectiveness. Whether it is in Yunnan, Sichuan, or other places, if it were not for the high mountains and dense forests in these places, no matter how good the armaments in some places were, they would not be able to use their strength. Otherwise, it would have been leveled many times.

In this way, the prestige of the Ming army also spread to the plateau.

The major temples in Wusizang also came to pay tribute early.

The rule of Uszang is dominated by the major Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, and there is no real meaning of the Tibetan king. Zhu Yunwen has always felt that sealing a Tibetan king and bringing 10,000 people into Tibet will make Tibet more obedient to the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, the people of the Tibetan land are all in these temples, and even if there is a Tibetan king, it is also an ornament. Probably a hereditary minister in Tibet of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen thought of his good uncle.

Now that he suddenly mentioned King Jin, Zhu Yunwen couldn't figure out his head for a while.

Ding Xian continued: "Your Highness, the King of Jin has three guards in Taiyuan, not to mention, the King of Jin has led his troops to the north many times, and there are old departments in Datong. King Jin is even more ambitious. Once Qu can be attached to Beijing, I am afraid that the king of Jin will also be uneasy, although the king of Jin and Beijing have a festival with us, but the situation is urgent, I don't know what he did, therefore, to let the king of Jin stand on our side, once it fails, then let the king of Jin control the capital of Shanxi and the capital of Shanxi. Of course, a veteran should also be sent to assist. This prevents Beijing from moving westward."

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "What does Guogong think?"

Fu Youde said: "If the king of Jin is willing to guard the checkpoint, Beijing will not be able to get Shanxi, but the minister is worried that the king of Jin has impure intentions and will be troubled in the future."

Zhu Yunwen said: "In the future, I will talk about it in the future, and what I have to do now is not to let Beijing sit big."
