Chapter 201: Cleaning Liaodong
This Zhu An was brought to Zhu Youxiao, originally Zhu An didn't want to kneel, but when he raised his head and looked at the opposite side, and found the person sitting opposite, his legs and feet were weak, and he naturally knelt down.
The person opposite was wearing an emperor's regular clothes, and was looking at him with interest, If it's not Zhu Youxiao, who is it?
Zhu Youxiao guessed that when he went to the capital, he might also send some scouts to find out what was going on in the north.
Therefore, he also specially arranged troops, guarding the chokepoints of the main roads everywhere, and also sent a large number of army scouts all over the field.
These Jingying scouts came to the vicinity of Xifengkou and were found and brought over by his army, which was also a normal thing.
Zhu An over there already felt extremely frightened, who knew that Zhu Youxiao above said directly: "What, don't you have to salute when you see me now?" β
At this time, as soon as Zhu An heard this, he instantly came back to his senses, and hurriedly knocked on the ground with his head, and shouted loudly: "Zhu An, a hundred households in the military camp, see my emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." β
Zhu Youxiao looked at this Zhu An and asked: "Your name is Zhu An, and you became a hundred household officials in the military camp at a young age, what do you have to do with that Zhu Chunchen?" β
This Zhu An didn't dare to hide it and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is a distant nephew of Chengguo Gong. β
Zhu Youxiao nodded, if this is the case, then it is all over.
"Okay, there's no need to say more now, just tell me what happened in the capital, don't hide anything, otherwise your end will definitely be very miserable."
When Zhu An heard this, he was also trembling on the spot, he knew what was going on in the capital, but how could he dare to say this in front of Zhu Youxiao.
Did he want to tell Zhu Youxiao that his distant uncle, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, had already put Zhu Youzhen on the throne of emperor? Isn't that just looking for death?
But he looked at the situation around him, and knew in his heart that if he said these things, he might be looking for death, but if he didn't say these things, maybe he would die now.
Zhu An noticed the expressions of the people around him, maybe what happened in the capital, people already knew, let him say it, it was just to want to know more details.
He didn't dare to continue to hide it, and hurriedly told him what happened in the capital, and he didn't dare to omit anything.
In the letter written by Jin Yiwei in the capital, the content is not very detailed after all, and they don't know too much, but through Zhu An's narration, they know more details.
When these civil and military generals heard that sure enough, the Donglin Party and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, had launched a military coup d'Γ©tat in the capital, and directly put Na Zhu Youzhen on the throne, they were also very indignant.
In particular, they heard that Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, had spread rumors in the capital that His Majesty had died in the war with Jiannu, and Jiannu had easily defeated their army.
This made Lu Xiangsheng and them blush, they obviously won a big battle.
Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan next to him trembled even more when they heard these words, this Lin Dan Khan was fine, mainly because this Huang Taiji was a little frightened.
He was a little worried that this Zhu Youxiao and the generals of the Ming army present would directly slaughter him because of a moment of excitement to vent the anger in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao's expression looked very normal, obviously he had no intention of killing the two of them, and Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan were much more stable in their hearts.
Although the generals were very angry, Zhu Youxiao's expression was relatively calm.
The reason why the generals felt so angry, Zhu Youxiao could also understand.
Now that Zhu Youzhen has ascended to the throne of the emperor, even the capital has been controlled by that group of rebellious ministers and thieves, which is a great deal for them.
If you don't quickly destroy a group of people such as Zhu Youzhen, Hui Shiyang and Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen, people still think that they have no strength to be ugly.
Moreover, with the passage of time, the position occupied by Zhu Youzhen will become more and more stable, and if this continues, even Zhu Youzhen will have a tendency to not get rid of it.
In that case, there is absolutely no way they can allow things to continue like this.
Qin Liangyu took the lead in standing up, bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao above, and said: "Your Majesty, we must quickly lead the soldiers and horses back to the capital and take back the position of emperor belonging to Your Majesty, this matter is the most important thing at present, please think twice, Your Majesty." β
When the other generals heard this, they also stood up one after another, and now that they have come forward, they can also express to Zhu Youxiao that these people are absolutely loyal, no matter what happens in the capital, they will not change their choice.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao understands that these people are loyal, they are all eunuchs, I don't know how many people are staring at their positions!
Those people in the Donglin Party wanted them to die, and they were forced to be helpless, even if they wanted to be disloyal, they couldn't do it.
In fact, if the situation in the capital was not so urgent, Zhu Youxiao actually wanted to solve the matter in Liaodong first.
Now that Yuan Chonghuan has been arrested, and Man Gui has also been arrested, once this news is transmitted back to Liaodong, the leaders of the Liaodong army will definitely feel panicked, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely be a great hidden danger.
Therefore, he must deal with the head of the Liaodong army as soon as possible, take Liaodong into his own hands, and cut off the way for the eight families of the Jin Shang to flee north.
But obviously, now he has no way to do this himself.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the generals under his command and considered who should be sent to do this.
His choice is still very large, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Xu Xianchun are all very suitable for doing this.
Cao Wenzhao was originally a general in Liaodong, and he had a natural sense of closeness to the generals of Liaodong, and if he went to Liaodong, he could quickly appease the officers and soldiers of Liaodong.
Lu Xiangsheng has a sense of the overall situation and great ability, and believes that he will be able to stabilize the situation in Liaodong soon.
And Xu Xianchun is loyal enough to him and cruel enough to be a person, if he is sent, he can do things more thoroughly.
In the end, he thought about it for a while, and still looked at Lu Xiangsheng.
Although this Cao Wenzhao is from a Liaodong general, he can take care of the emotions of the Liaodong soldiers, but because he is a Liaodong general, it is inevitable that he will still be a little soft-hearted.
And that Xu Xianchun is too cruel, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, it is the most suitable way to manage things, Zhu Youxiao still let him stay by his side and lead the troops.
"Lu Xiangsheng, if I give you 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, together with the soldiers and horses of the first division of your Guards, can you clean up Liaodong for me?"
