Chapter One Hundred and One

Everyone who is in it inevitably falls with them.

Even if there may be some good officials among them.

But most of them are still a group of corrupt ministers who only care about their own interests.

But such a group of people, Zhu Di had to use it.

Because he alone cannot control the south of Nuoda, only this group of officials can do this.

And what he can do is to deal with corruption and sort out the rule of officials.

Even these things can only be done after Zhu Di enters Nanjing City.

Now he is just a slightly dazzling rebel in the eyes of everyone in Nanjing.

Even if this traitor hits Ning Guofu, he is still a traitor, at best, he is a little bigger.

Only after entering Nanjing and sitting on the throne.

Only then can he reform the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di turned his head and asked Liu Quan.

"Does the prefect of Ningguo have a reply?"

"Yes."

"Will you surrender to me?"

"Nope."

As he spoke, Liu Quan handed Zhu Xiyuan, the prefect of Ningguo, a reply to Zhu Di.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Di opened it and looked at it at a glance.

As early as after entering the territory of Ningguo Mansion, Zhu Di asked people to send a letter to Zhu Xiyuan.

After all, if he can capture Ning Guofu without spending a single soldier, Zhu Di is naturally willing.

Ma Shiying was stunned by Ruan Dacheng's words.

But then he came to his senses.

The reason why he was able to fight Shi Kefa to become the first assistant of this cabinet.

Isn't it all because he relied on it and personally led his troops to put His Majesty on the throne?

Since he can support the emperor to ascend to the throne, can't he support another emperor?

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying's mind suddenly became active.

He admits that he was a little moved.

And Ruan Dacheng on the side saw Ma Shiying's appearance.

Immediately understood his thoughts.

Hurriedly continue to hit the railway while it is hot.

"If you think about it, you are the head of the cabinet with an army of 200,000."

"Even if that emperor finally enters Nanjing City, will he still not reuse you?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ma Shiying nodded.

But then the conversation changed, and a cold voice sounded.

"But this official in the court also belongs to the cabinet chief assistant below one person and above ten thousand people."

"There's no going to go up."

"If this Shoufu returns to the past, will it be possible that he will still crown me king?"

Generally, surrender is divided into two types, one is that those who are beaten cannot avoid and are forced to surrender.

And the other is to take the initiative to surrender, this kind of belonging is because I see that it is beneficial to follow you, so I ran over and surrendered.

And it's not so much a surrender as an investment.

Like he is now the head of the cabinet, even if he is the emperor who surrendered to Guangdong in the past.

That heaven is just a cabinet chief.

What's the difference between this and what he's doing now?

Since they are all the first assistants, why should he be the first assistant to a king who is not easy to control?

Could it be that the emperor who is obedient every day is not fragrant?

Although he didn't want to surrender to Guangdong, Ruan Dacheng's words just now gave him a way back.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

In case the emperor of Guangdong is really fierce and abnormal, and after he really takes Nanjing, then he will have to leave a way back.

He controls the emperor by controlling the army, as long as the soldiers under his command are safe.

No matter who will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will still be safe.

After all, they wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke a "loyal minister" with a heavy army!

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying's mood instantly relaxed.

This kind of situation is a win for him anyway, and it is just too friendly to him.

The only difference is that he wins more and wins less.

But now Ma Shiying definitely wants to continue to win more.

After all, who wouldn't want greater rights.

Ma Shiying, who had finished thinking, said to Ruan Dacheng.

"Besides, I still have millions of armored soldiers in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Now it's just a carelessness, letting the rebel run under his nose."

"Now that I've come back to my senses, do you still think that the traitors can really break into Nanjing City?"

"When you say this, you're not afraid of making people laugh!"

As he spoke, Ma Shiying shook off his embroidered robe and turned to leave.

Looking at Ma Shiying's departing figure, Ruan Dacheng turned his head and spit on the ground with a snort.

"Ahh

"You don't worry about the head of the cabinet who has the power of the army, but you are worried!"

He's just a right-hand squire here, and he won't even be able to enter the cabinet in the future.

Can he not be in a hurry?

It's not easy to come over now with an opportunity that is expected to overthrow this imperial court, how can he not take advantage of the situation?

When the time comes, he will take refuge in Guangdong as the right attendant.

How can you say that this official position should be promoted by one or two levels? No matter how bad it is, you have to enter a cabinet and become a university scholar.

Such a good opportunity, he can't afford not to give it up in vain.

However, it is not yet possible to make a decision, and it is still necessary to see if this King of Yongming can hit the city of Nanjing.

If he can really fight here, then it will not be too late for him to surrender.

Let's wait and see.

Ruan Dacheng, who did not win over Ma Shiying, decided to wait and see.

After all, this is a big deal about whether he can be prosperous and rich in the future! He can't be careless.

As for whether Ma Shiying would tell the emperor about this, he was not worried at all.

Don't look at Ma Shiying's angry scolding in front of him just now, but he can't guarantee that he also has this idea in his heart.

Because if Ma Shiying really didn't have the slightest idea of surrendering, he should have called the soldiers to come and arrest him and put him in prison.

Instead of saying that he left with a sentence or two.

This shows that he must have been shaken in his heart, and now he refuses.

I'm afraid it's also because I want to wait and see, after all, Ma Shiying is different from himself and is a courtier without power.

As a last resort, he will definitely not give up the power of the first assistant in his hands.

At this point, he is very clear about Ma Shiying's thoughts.

Even the officials of the entire court are probably thinking this way.

Perhaps, someone has already started to communicate with the emperor at this moment.

……

Ruan Dacheng did not guess wrong, there was really an official who contacted Zhu Di.

And not one or two, but a lot.

It could even be said to be a basket.

"Your Majesty, are these all letters sent by officials in the Nanjing Imperial Court?"

Liu Quan looked at the letters piled up in baskets beside Zhu Di in disbelief.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Although the officials they met along the way were basically Kaesong surrendering.

But it's not like this either...... Such an exaggerated scene, right?

Could it be that Nanjing is also going to surrender?

No way? No way? Is it so simple to rebel?

This hasn't fought a battle yet, could it be that they are about to truly become the master?

looked at Liu Quan with a somewhat shocked expression.

Zhu Di's face was also quite weird.

"Yes, but it's not."

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhu Di's answer, Liu Quan was even more confused.

Why didn't he understand this?

Isn't it? How is there and yet isn't?

So is he, or is he?

Zhu Di finished reading the last letter in his hand and threw it into the second basket casually.

Answer your questions.

"These were indeed sent from Nanjing City, but the name of a single person on them was not written."

"And there are no precise words in the letter, except for painful greetings, all of which are ambiguous words."

"Huh? Isn't that swinging? It's wallgrass, right? ”

Liu Quan said stunned.

As far as he knew, the letter was sent without a name, obviously because he didn't want people to know who they were.

But he sent the letter contradictoryly, which was clearly to wait and see.

It's not what wallgrass is.

"Hehe, you're really right, they're really just a bunch of wall grass." Zhu Di laughed self-deprecatingly.

Then he said lightly.

"But you can't live with this group of wall grass!"

About a pillar of incense after the time.

Zhu Di suddenly laughed.

"What a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Quan, who said this sentence, was confused.

The prefect of Ningguo is unwilling to surrender, why is His Majesty happy?

Don't you laugh angrily?

"I fought all the way from Fujian to Zhejiang, and now I finally see a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty."

"I didn't expect that my Daming would have such a stupid and loyal minister!"

Zhu Di's expression at the moment is very complicated, you say he is happy.

It seems that he shouldn't be happy for Zhu Yousong.

But you say he's not happy, he's happy for Daming again.

It can only be said that the contradiction is extreme.

"Then are we going to besiege Ning Guofu next?"

Liu Quan asked.

"You go and call General Xu and General Ding."

Hearing this, Liu Quan immediately understood that Zhu Di was going to discuss the military.

hurriedly trotted out all the way and called Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang.

Soon.

Ding Ruzhang and Xu Jiaying, who were wearing the robes of the Ming generals, walked into the study.

"The last general will see Your Majesty!" x2

"Two generals, please get up."

Zhu Di said weakly.

Later, after the two of them got up, Zhu Di did not grind.

Said directly to the two of them.

"I just arrived at the letter from the prefect of Ningguo, he is not willing to surrender, and he is even ready to defend the city."

"This is not a small trouble for our army."

"You may not know that Nanjing has already sent a general to lead 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion to reinforce Ning Guofu."

"It is expected to arrive at Ningguo Mansion in half a month."

"100,000 ???!!!"

Hearing the news, Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang were both shocked.

Their reaction was also expected by Zhu Di.

After all, before these two surrendered to him, they were just a local peasant rebel army.

The army that I have seen the most is probably the more than 30,000 people led by Zuo Guangxian at the beginning.

Not to mention 100,000 horses.

However, Zhu Di estimates that with the current level of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, it is very good to have 30,000 soldiers who can fight among the 100,000 horses.

He felt that most of it might have been some empty salaries, or the addition of people's husbands.

But even 30,000, or even 20,000, is a trouble for Zhu Di.

As long as he continues to spend time under Ningguo City and waits for the capital camp, it will be his death.

So it's better not to be tough now.

"Then Your Majesty, should we wait for Governor Ding?"

"When he breaks through from Huguang, we will attack Nanjing together, I don't know if this is good?"

Xu Jiaying said with a trembling voice.

The army of 100,000 really scared him!

There were almost ten times as many people as many as them, and even a single spit could drown them.

It really scared him.

"Governor Ding is still attacking Huguang, and he won't be able to enter for a while, so he can't be counted on."

Zhu Di said lightly.

If you want to rely on Ding Kuichu, it is better to surrender directly.

That guy has been fighting Huguang for so long, but he hasn't advanced an inch, and he has been confronting Zuo Liangyu there.

Even Huguang can't get in, even if he really comes.

I'm afraid it's useless.

"But Your Majesty, if we don't rely on Governor Ding, what do we rely on?"

"Now the army of the puppet dynasty is dozens of times that of ours, how can we fight? You can't let your brother take his life for nothing, can you? ”

Ding Ruzhang interjected at this time.

When he looked at Zhu Di's meaning, he had a taste of wanting to resist hard.

This can't be done.

To do it is to find pure death.

"Of course not, how could I let my brothers die?"

Zhu Di waved his hand to dispel Ding Ruzhang's thoughts.

Go on.

"Listen to me, I tell you how to fight?"

Hearing this, although both of them were puzzled.

But he still bent over and lowered his head and came to Zhu Di.

"Let's surround Ning Guofu first, but don't fight, go to the reinforcements halfway ......"

Zhu Di whispered his plan in the ears of the two.

Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang, who listened, were stunned.

It's not that the plan doesn't sound good, it's that they're worried about whether they can do it.

After all, they've never used a plan like this.

may have seen the worries of the two.

Zhu Di comforted.

"Don't worry, I'm going with you, are you still afraid?"

"Of course not!"

The two people who were agitated hurriedly patted their chests and replied.

"Good! In that case, go ahead with the plan! ”

"Whoa!"

……

And just when Zhu Di was discussing how to deal with the 100,000 imperial army sent by Zhu Yousong.

Far away in Wuhu, a few hundred miles away from Ningguo Mansion, Huang Fei, the chief soldier of the Navy, was thinking about how to refuse the holy decree sent by the imperial court.

Because the imperial court actually asked him to lead the people of his headquarters to fight Zhu Di!

The matter of the royal struggle has been the most fatal thing since ancient times.

Not to mention that this dynasty also has the only emperor in the past who has successfully rebelled.

After all, no one can say whether this Yongming King will be the next Cheng Zu.

And in its current form, this Yongming King seems to be very powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the kung fu has already hit Nanjing's nose, can it not be powerful.

He didn't want to be a "relict of Jianwen".

Anyway, no matter which emperor wins, isn't it also surnamed Zhu?

Who will be the emperor, it makes no difference at all, right?

So he was ready to feign illness to refuse the call-up.

And just as Huang Fei was about to learn how to pretend to be sick, a person surprised him......
