Chapter Seventy-Eight: Self-Defilement
Even if King Han has already made trouble in the north, Zhu Yunwen is not too jealous of King Han in his heart, what he is really afraid of is King Yan.
King Han is very well-behaved, he knows the way of the monarch and the minister, the last trip to Liaodong was like this, and then he returned to Beijing, and it was the same, when he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, he knelt down, and he had no heart at all.
"I also think it's better to start with King Yan, although King Han is in the north and beats his own people, in the final analysis, it is also to be able to return to Beijing as soon as possible to serve the mourning, in order to fulfill filial piety."
Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although King Han originally meant well and wanted to do his filial piety, but after all, his own people beat his own people, in my Ming Dynasty, except for Lan Yu, this is the second case, but the former has now been ambushed!" ”
"After all, King Han is a prince, the son of the first emperor, naturally the whole family can't be beheaded like disposing of blue jade, but this is a good opportunity, Your Majesty also happens to use this to establish prestige among the kings, if you sit back and watch King Han attack Guangning, but don't care, I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to manage between the kings in the future!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he got up and paced slowly in the imperial study, thinking for a long time.
"Then according to Aiqing's words, start with King Han's cut, and order him to hand over his military power quickly and return to Beijing as soon as possible with this crime!"
"But who are you going to send to Liaodong this time? Is it Jinyiwei or ......"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei is a cool yamen founded by the emperor, which is used to supervise the illegal affairs of hundreds of officials, but Jinyiwei is not the right way after all, please abolish Jinyiwei as soon as possible, and return the government and the opposition to a bright future!" ”
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also chimed in.
"Your Majesty, please abolish the Jinyi Guard as soon as possible, and return the government and the opposition to a bright future!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned: "Since I want to cut the feudal domain, the help of the Jinyi Guard is indispensable, if the Jinyi Guard is abolished at this moment, won't I make trouble for myself and hinder each other?" ”
"Three Aiqing, I promise you, after I sweep away these vassal kings, I will naturally abolish the Jinyi Guard, and issue a holy decree to make the children and grandchildren of the future emperors of the Ming Dynasty not be allowed to use them forever!"
The three of you, look at me, I look at you, I know that what the emperor said is also reasonable, abolishing the Jinyi Guard at this time is equivalent to cutting off an arm, especially at the critical moment of cutting the domain, so the three of them knelt down and bowed down.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
…
Zhu Song commanded the Kaiyuan army to push all the way and directly to Quang Ninh.
Zhu Song never thought that Guangning's soldiers and horses were so useless, when they first fought, these guys' formation was chaotic like a plate of scattered sand, and under the impact of their own army, they were as vulnerable as fallen leaves in the wind.
Not all the soldiers and horses of the major kings of the imperial court were the same.
The Nine Great Sai Kings were able to command the most soldiers and horses from Beiping, followed by the King of Qin and Jin in Chang'an and Taiyuan, and finally the King of Han in Kaiyuan.
Needless to say, the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan were the older princes when they were alive, and they fell into the domain early, and after a few years of development in the local area, they naturally developed some armies.
But when it came to Zhu Song, Zhu Song was secretly and obscenely developed, reclaiming wasteland, smelting steel, building armor and weapons, recruiting troops and horses, at the beginning of Kaiyuan there were only 30,000 horses, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was difficult to protect themselves, let alone lead troops to battle.
But in the past few years, under Zhu Song's operation and management, there are now a full 125,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to these 125,000 soldiers and horses, and counting the 100,000 Warat prisoners, Zhu Song can now command 200,000 horses.
The 100,000 Warats are still captives, but since the beginning of the spring, Zhu Song has successively removed several batches of Warats from the repair project, and distributed them pasture land, cattle and sheep.
These 100,000 people were all captives before, and if they want to completely dissolve this iron plate and let them use it for their own use, there is only one way, and that is to divide and disintegrate them from within.
There are already people who have lived a good life first, and those who are still bitter and miserable Warat captives have to show themselves desperately if they want to live like that too.
Race is never an impregnable shield, only class is.
And these Wara soldiers are Zhu Song's last hole cards, he thought that he would probably use these hole cards in this war with the King of Liao, but who would have thought that the total of these troops dispatched by the King of Liao did not even have 50,000 people.
These 50,000 soldiers and horses are far less strong than the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Zhu Song later transferred from Kaiyuan, although these 20,000 soldiers and horses are inferior in numbers, but in terms of strong soldiers and horses, Guangning's 50,000 soldiers and horses are not as good as the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Kaiyuan.
Zhu Song knew what was going on when he thought about it, the King of Liao was greedy, and it seemed that he had eaten a lot of empty salaries.
In the end, it is his own family, Zhu Song played a momentum in the first battle, and then released his words, they are all his own family, as long as he puts down his weapons and does not block the way of His Royal Highness King Han, His Royal Highness King Han will not do anything.
In less than half a day, 50,000 soldiers and horses had already been swallowed by Zhu Song.
Zhu Song took the soldiers and horses to bypass Guangning City, and at this moment, Kaiyuan 600 miles of expedited capital commanded Feng Cheng to write a letter, and quickly handed it over.
Zhu Song read the letter, and in the letter, Feng Cheng bitterly advised Zhu Song not to attack Guangning, and he must not fight, otherwise a catastrophe may come.
After reading the letter, Zhu Song burned it.
In fact, none of what happened today was made by Zhu Song's brain, and all the things that happened today were decided by Zhu Song after thinking about it.
It is said that since Zhu Song hit Kaiyuan, he has been thinking about how to buy himself a little time.
Thinking about it, Zhu Song suddenly remembered an allusion, Wang Jian begged for a seal, and Xiao He defiled himself.
Will the monarch be afraid that his officials will be greedy? I am not afraid, nor am I afraid that the officials under him are lustful, as long as they love money and lust, there is always a handle that can fall into the hands of the monarch.
And it is this in the hands of the monarch that the monarch can be happy, and it is only a small mistake that can be said to have been made, but it can dispel the monarch's suspicion of his courtiers.
And if he endured it this time, he didn't break out against the King of Liao, and he didn't use troops against Guangning, but it would make Zhu Yunwen feel uneasy about himself.
A vassal king who can control his temperament, predict the situation, and smoothly use the situation for his own benefit, and has local military power is really terrible, if Zhu Song is the emperor, Zhu Song will not be able to sleep.
And this time, Zhu Song deliberately showed his feet, deliberately making people feel that they couldn't control their emotions, just to give Zhu Yunwen a sore foot, so that Zhu Yunwen felt that he was not a threat, this is Zhu Song's purpose.
It's just a pity that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, Zhu Song never imagined that the old man would mention his name when he was dying, and he also said the inexplicable words in the last paragraph and got himself into trouble.
