Chapter 307: Emperor Hong Xi: I lost five provinces in four months, it's broken, I became Emperor Jianwen!
This will not be rectified for Zhu Di.
The god is not against the king of Han, but you are against it.
Is this something to be proud of?
Good guy, where is this Yunnan commoner Zhu Gaoxian, I'm afraid it's not a Yunnan Lezi person!
[When fighting, in order to pursue absolute speed, you let your army only carry a very small amount of baggage, abandoning the traditional combat style, and taking speed as the primary criterion. 】
[First send several waves of small groups of elites to infiltrate the enemy territory, and station in advance at bridges, passes, ferries and other military important places in the enemy territory, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng are both from the southwest, so they naturally know very well about the military deployment on the southwest border, and they also know a lot about the guards stationed there. 】
[But the imperial court does not know about you, and the imperial court cannot judge how many troops you have, what tactics you use, how to deal with it, and where your main point of attack is. 】
[After the foreplay is over, it's time for the big drama to appear.] Tens of thousands of main forces, breaking through from all directions, pinpoint the weak points of the enemy's defense, tearing a small breach, and then destroying this wound, so that your army can make a detour through the enemy's territory. 】
[Your army doesn't even have time to pay attention to the large number of Imperial Army captives, they cooperate with the elite recruits deployed at the military strategic points behind the Imperial Army, so that maintaining speed and impact is the most important thing, and maintaining the devastating destructive power of the Imperial Army. 】
[Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, both generals who have commanded more than 100,000 troops, are used in your hands like big soldiers, but they don't feel that they have been overused. 】
Their mission is simple: move forward! Advance! Advance! 】
[With such a highly concentrated and highly accurate tactic, only one person can sit on a high throne and control everyone like a puppet, he alone is the brain of these tens of thousands of troops, all the armies are advancing according to his orders, once this brain is disordered for a moment, then there will be an army completely paralyzed in place, spinning like a headless fly. If Zhang Fu or Mu Sheng assisted in command, it would make the situation even more chaotic. 】
[And what Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng can do is to try their best to stabilize the situation on the front line and help you control the army, although in this case they don't look like generals, but more like pawns who are fighting for their lives, but as long as they can always win battles, who cares about this. 】
[One such unit can form a meniscus-shaped knife that pierces the enemy's chest, and two such knives can form a pincer offensive and surround the enemy's large number of living forces after the division.] 】
[You hold the sharp blade of Zhang Fu in your left hand, and the hunting knife of Mu Sheng in your right hand, digging out the hearts of enemies like a demon and devouring the flesh and blood of those who are enemies of you. 】
[The cavalry never turns back to attack the encirclement, their task is to continue to advance to form a new encirclement, and the follow-up huge infantry will slowly digest these besieged enemies who have no backup, no supplies, no command, and no morale, when they learn that a large number of troops surround themselves behind them, the pressure in the hearts of the front-line soldiers is greater than the pressure on the battlefield, and they have no choice but to surrender at this time. 】
[The army you led plundered the resources of the imperial court in order to make up for the weakness of your own lack of baggage, this kind of lightning tactic, because there is almost no conflict with the enemy in the front, resulting in your battle losses are very low. At the same time, you also took a large number of imperial army prisoners to strengthen your army. 】
[You are like a vampire, lying on the body of the court to suck blood, the court is sucked dizzy and weak, and you are full of food and drink to become stronger and stronger, and the purpose is more and more clear. 】
[Under the impact of the legion under your command, the imperial court meeting that is still formulating the battle meeting may have been terminated by the raiding army led by Zhang Fu, and the imperial generals sitting in the rear have no idea what is happening on the front line, which is in stark contrast to Zhang Fu Mu Sheng personally going to the front line, the fall of the provincial capital can easily lead to the loss of fighting spirit of the entire province, and surrender when it still has more than half of the army and also has high walls to strengthen the city. 】
[The rebellion has only been half a month old, and you have already led the army to sweep most of Sichuan. The King of Shu in Chengdu noticed that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to you: Nephew, they are all a family, what to fight, don't wait for your army to come to Chengdu, Uncle Shu, I will surrender first! 】
[Immediately afterwards, you went south without declaring war, and raided the unsuspecting Guizhou and Guangxi, and in just two months, the war was won, and Guizhou and Guangxi surrendered. You have already pocketed all the four southwestern provinces of the Ming Empire. 】
[Although this tactic is not suitable for long-term combat, after all, the imperial court is not stupid, and they will also react and formulate corresponding strategies. It's also hard to work out flawless tactics under the existing rudimentary conditions. 】
[But it doesn't matter, you have already used this tactic to plant your own banners in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and you have the confidence to wrestle with the imperial court. 】
[When you started the army, you didn't have much baggage, only half of Yunnan, and tens of thousands of troops. And now, you have annexed the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and you have already sat on the land of four provinces, with an army of more than 100,000 people, strong soldiers and horses, and you can wave your army north at any time! 】
[Emperor Hongxi was lying in the palace, and disaster came from the sky. 】
[When he learned that the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty was lost, people were stupid, and he had even forgotten that the Ming Dynasty was still exiled in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and this common prince was still his own brother. 】
[Over the years, Emperor Hongxi has been conscientious, fighting wits and courage with Emperor Yongle on the one hand, and deceiving me with King Zhao of Han on the other. The fifth northern expedition of the first emperor took away hundreds of thousands of troops, until his death still remained outside the pass, in order to deal with the mess left by the sudden death of the first emperor, he was so busy that it was inevitable that he would be a little careless. 】
[In his busy schedule, he ignored Zhang Fu's silent taking twenty or thirty thousand old troops south to Yunnan. And Mu Sheng, who is already deeply rooted in Yunnan, you really can't prevent this, people rebel on their own territory, unless they know in advance, they can't stop it at all. 】
[The main thing is that all this is a matter of rapid change, when Emperor Hongxi was controlling the north and south of Beijing and preventing the rebellion in Shandong, you had also seized this time to control Yunnan and sent troops to attack the empty and defenseless southwestern provinces. 】
[And now, Emperor Hongxi's intestines are repentant, at the beginning of his succession, he has not yet sat on the throne, the four southwestern provinces have fallen, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Jianwen, no emperor has suffered such a big loss. 】
[No, even Emperor Jianwen has never suffered such a big loss. 】
[At the beginning of the Jingjing, Emperor Jianwen lost a prefecture in Beiping in eight months, and Emperor Hongxi lost four provinces in less than three months. 】
[After you integrated the land of the four provinces and laid your own brand, you shouted the slogan unhurriedly, but you did not say that you were here to rebel, but moved out of the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" "The court has no ministers, and there is evil inside, then the prince will train the troops on standby, and the Son of Heaven will secretly edict the kings to lead the troops to seek peace", and announced that the "Qing monarch's side" is difficult. 】
[You shouted the slogan that the old man shouted back then, and it was the same. 】
[If there are still flaws in the slogan shouted by the rebellious King Yan back then, then the emperor has no way to refute the slogan you are shouting now. Because since the successful rebellion of King Yan, the "Fengtian Jingjing" has become an excuse for "the vassal king has the right to rebel legally". 】
[Emperor Hongxi has no right to deny your rebellion, because if he denies that you are martyred in Fengtianjing, it is to admit that Emperor Yongle is a thief, and Emperor Hongxi himself has become a thief, and he has become a thief who has succeeded to the throne in order, after all, he has become a thief who seeks power and usurps the throne, after all...... When he was martyred in that year, he also made military exploits. 】
"Their whole family rebelled, and no one was clean. 】
[The anti-book was sent to Beijing, and before Emperor Hong Xi came to his senses, another bad news came. 】
[The imperial army that was originally sent to the south to quell the rebellion did not go far and turned around and returned to the north. 】
[The Han King of Shandong is also reversed! ] 】
[The King of Han was already ready to move, but he endured it because he didn't have the opportunity, and now seeing that there are like-minded people rebelling together, he naturally can't wait to declare war on the court in the name of "Fengtian Jingjing". 】
[Emperor Hongxi succeeded to the throne for less than half a year, and the two vassal kings and the two former emperors' sons-in-law were all reversed! ] 】
[It's fine if one vassal king is in rebellion, but two vassal kings rebel at the same time, which will inevitably make people doubt the rule of Emperor Hongxi. 】
[The world, chaos! 】
Seeing this, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.
Only then did he realize that he had dug a hole in Daming's law.
"The vassal king has the right to rebel legally" is too nonsense, and the rebellion of all dynasties is only the share of the nine clans, how can there be any legality at all, why do you want to be legal when you rebel?
However, in the Ming Dynasty, hey, that's really the case.
The law of the Ming Dynasty was formulated by the emperor, and what the emperor Lao Tzu said was the law. If there is any law that the emperor cannot decide, it can only be the law made by the emperor before him.
Emperor Hongwu created "Emperor Ming Zuxun", and Zhu Di found a loophole to rebel legally, but he couldn't fill it in after he became emperor, first, because this was the law formulated by his Lao Tzu, if he disobeyed, it would mean unfilial piety. The second reason is that if he fills this gap, he will die on his own path.
But you can't keep it forever, right......
It doesn't seem impossible.
Emperor Hongxi made this kind of joke when he was because the cutting of the feudal domain was not thorough enough, and it also left hidden dangers. And if it was Emperor Hengjing, there would be no such trouble.
Not to mention that there was a vassal king who dared to rebel during the time of Emperor Hengjing, even if it was the current Yongle Dynasty, no one dared to rebel.
King Han rebelled, jumped twice and was pinched to death, and was thrown outside the customs to work. The king of the valley rebelled, and before he began to rebel, the whole family of the king of the valley was already dead.
In the two hundred years after Emperor Hongxi succeeded to the throne, except for King Han and later King Ning of the Zhengde Dynasty, no vassal king dared to rebel.
Even King Ning of the Zhengde Dynasty was just used as a gunman, and it was the civil officials who acquiesced and even helped him rebel. And King Ning's rebellion didn't make much of a mess, Emperor Zhengde was full of interest and wanted to go to quell the rebellion, but before the emperor arrived, Wang Yangming captured King Ning first.
Emperor Zhengde, who was not happy, even wanted to release King Ning first and capture it again......
It can be seen that after the Ming Dynasty was in Yongle, the vassal king was destined to not be able to make much waves, and it was okay not to rebel, but if he rebelled, he would be uprooted directly.
With one less vassal king, the Ming Dynasty can also divide less land.
Zhu Gaochi is already like this, not to mention Emperor Hengjing, who is more ruthless than Jianwen and Yongle.
At the beginning of Emperor Hengjing's son, Emperor Taichang, when he succeeded to the throne, killing Zhu Qizhen, the king of Gan, was like killing a chicken, and he slaughtered the king of Gan lightly.
[After learning that King Han rebelled, you were not worried about being the first to win the fruits of victory by King Han. I even want to laugh a little. Although Emperor Hong Xi looks simple, he is not a vegetarian, you rebelled because you have full self-confidence and strength, and the king of Han rebelled ......]
[King Han is also left with self-confidence. 】
[The Han vassal state located in Shandong is not far away from Beizhili, the first to bear the brunt of the wrath of Emperor Hongxi, to attract a lot of firepower for you, before the Han King was destroyed by the imperial court, you can take down the south of the Ming Dynasty unhurriedly. 】
[After you eat the south, it is estimated that the king of Han at that time will have a handful of ashes left. 】
[Even if the King of Han suddenly exploded and bravely fought the world, won all the way and captured Beijing, so what? 】
[For you, it is easier to fight with the King of Han than with Emperor Hongxi. 】
[The King of Han is good at attacking but not good at defending, and Emperor Hongxi is just the opposite, he is good at defending but not good at attacking. 】
As for you...... You're good at both offense and defense. 】
[After digesting the four southwestern provinces, the soldiers under his command are ready to move, and you, who are in command of the ten thousand armies, are wearing cloth clothes and pointing at Huguang and Nanjing! 】
[Compared with the unsuspecting four southwestern provinces, Huguang, which has long been prevented, is obviously more like a hard bone to gnaw. 】
[The Huguang Metropolitan Division has temporarily taken over the power of the province, and the imperial army in the whole territory is on standby to guard against your sudden attack. Through the tactical analysis of your swallowing of the four southwestern provinces, they also guessed that your favorite way to play is to engage in sneak attacks without martial arts. 】
[The commander of Huguang is full of confidence, he has been sleepless for three days and three nights, studying your tactics in the southwest, after all, your results are too amazing, you have eaten four provinces in three months, even if you kill pigs, you can't kill them so quickly. After three days and nights of study, Huguang commanded the envoys to lay a net of heaven and earth, and set up ambushes at every bridge pass, waiting for you to send the elite to throw themselves into the net. 】
[However...... The commander of Huguangdu still made a mistake. 】
[You did not use a surprise attack this time, but directly gathered the main army to attack Jingzhou. 】
[Captured Jingzhou on the third day, and returned to Germany the next day; feint to attack Wuchang, but in fact, it raided Chenzhou in a roundabout way, and after capturing and killing the Chenzhou guards, De'an, Yuezhou, and Baoqing were attached; Seven days in a row, Changsha, Hanyang ......]
[You told the court with real hard power, in fact, you are better at fighting tough battles in addition to sneak attacks. 】
[Within a month, Huguang was half gone, and Huguang was commanded to be isolated in Wuchang, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and alone in the wind. 】
[But this Huguangdu commander is also tough enough, and he would rather die than surrender...... So, he died. 】
[He commanded a commander to lead the troops to mutiny, and for a time Wuchang Mansion said that it was surrendered, and the commander of Huguang was beheaded, and his head was hung at the head of the city, and Wuchang surrendered the city to Qi. 】
[Huguang fell. 】
