Chapter 14: The Beginning of the Difficulty

Yanwang Mansion.

When Zhu Di arrived, the banquet was in full swing, and the leader of the forbidden army who was in charge of monitoring outside the mansion was also there.

Seeing him, a group of people hurriedly put down their wine glasses and got up to salute.

Although King Yan is crazy, no one dares to lose his manners in public, and besides, eating other people's wine banquets, he naturally has to be polite.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di, who has always been crazy, was unusually serious, and returned the salute with a smile.

Then, under the blank gaze of everyone, he walked up the steps.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Miaoyun, who nodded, "Your Highness, everything is ready." ”

Then he said, "Sanbao, you go to the attic to summon the message." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Seeing that everything was ready to stop, Zhu Di was completely relieved and shouted: "Everyone, announce something, this king is not crazy!" ”

He looked sad and indignant, "There were traitors in the court, and the emperor was bewitched by them and wantonly killed his blood relatives;

The emperor and the ancestors have a cloud: there are no ministers in the court, there are treacherous and rebellious inside, and the vassal king will raise troops to punish him, and he will clear the king's side! ”

Zhu Di made a generous statement and was murderous: "Are you willing to be with this king, the Qing monarch, and Yasukuni is difficult?!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they were all stupid, and it took a while for them to react.

The political envoy of Beiping Bu was a member of the civil official group, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Zhu Di, the king of Yan, intends to rebel, don't ...... you."

"Presumptuous." Zhu Di shouted in a deep voice, "This king sees that you are one of the traitorous ministers, come and take him to me." ”

A moment later, the royal guards rushed in from the side courtyard and surrounded everyone.

The political envoy was furious: "Zhu Di, do you really want to rebel? ”

Zhu Di sneered, "Killed!" ”

Jin Wuwei didn't care so much, he immediately did as he was instructed, dragged the political envoy out of the wine table, raised his knife in his hand, and chopped off his head.

A good banquet became like this, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone realized that the so-called wedding banquet was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Zhu Di smiled coldly, "Think about it, you are following this king to Fengtian and sealing his wife and son;

Or like the traitor? ”

A commander of the forbidden army said angrily, "Zhu Di is reversed, come and ......!" ”

"Poof......

The sharp broadsword slashed down, and the leader of the forbidden army immediately hated the northwest, and when the others saw this, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Zhu Di said coldly, "Who else?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, they didn't dare to openly follow Zhu Di to rebel, but they didn't dare to object, after all, who doesn't want to live?

Things went even more smoothly than expected, only two people were killed to stabilize the situation, although the forbidden army outside heard some movement, but the boss did not summon it, and no one dared to rush into the palace without authorization.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng arrived with thousands of people and took full control of the forbidden army, and Zhu Di completely grasped the initiative.

Zhu Di was not polite, and pointed out two ways for these people, either follow him or finish it directly.

When it comes to the choice between life and death, the vast majority of people choose the former.

……

When Li Qing arrived with the three chubby brothers, Zhu Di had already assembled the three guards and began to pull the team.

The political envoy of Beiping took up his post again, and in the yamen, as long as there were prisoners who were willing to follow Jingnan, they were all released and organized into the Jingnan army.

At the same time, Xu Miaoyun and Dao Yan were busy fighting the walls and clearing the wilderness, and began to gather the people in Beiping City.

Collect food, set houses on fire, fill wells...... Destroy all facilities that can be used by enemy forces.

Zhu Di saw that his three sons came back safely, and he was even more energetic, and he had no worries.

Time was pressing, and he didn't be too polite to Li Qing, and said directly: "Sir, what's going on in Jinling?" ”

"The Marquis of Changxing and the Marquis of Wuding are ready." Li Qingdao said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

After a pause, "Such a big thing, I can't hide it if I want to, it will definitely reach the Beijing Division in less than half a month, why don't I bring the news back and prepare for the layout later." ”

Xu Miaoyun continued: "What Mr. said is extremely true, Jianwen can't be suspicious of Mr., it will take at least a month and a half from the time the imperial court gets the news, to the dispatch of a large army, and then to the arrival of a large army;

With so much time to do, there is already a lot to do. ”

Li Qing frowned and said, "Can it be completed in more than a month, can the entire Beiping be clear?" ”

"I can't." Xu Miaoyun shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, since Uncle Bingwen is willing to help, then the battlefield is directly outside Beiping." Zhu Di groaned, "Mr. Li, you go back and inform Uncle Bingwen, and when the time comes, you will meet in Zhending." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said uneasily, "Jianwen won't send Lan Yu to send troops, right?" ”

"Absolutely not." Li Qing smiled, "He didn't dare to let Lan Yu lead the troops." ”

"That's good." Zhu Di was relieved.

Li Qing thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers and horses can you gather at that time?" ”

"Fifty or sixty thousand!"

"Can't it be more?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly, "Time doesn't allow it, this is already the limit." ”

Li Qing didn't say anything more, looked up at the banner of 'Fengtian Jingnan', mounted his horse, and returned to Jinling.

……

At the beginning of July, Li Qing returned to Beijing with an injury and told Xiao Xiaozhu about Zhu Di's rebellion.

"Is King Yan really the opposite?" Zhu Yunwen was shocked, and immediately shouted, "Come on, convene hundreds of civil and military officials, and hold a court meeting." ”

Qi Tai stared at Li Qing and said word by word, "Since King Yan is reversed, why can Marquis Yongqing come back?" ”

"I came back from stealing a horse at night, didn't you see that I was wounded?" Li Qing said angrily, "Don't you have to let me die in Beiping to make you happy, right?" ”

"I'm ......" Qi Tai choked and snorted, "Yongqing Hou is really good. ”

"Don't quarrel, the enemy is now, we want the monarch and the minister to be united." Zhu Yunwen's face was grim, "The top priority is to quell the rebellion." ”

"That's what the emperor said!" Huang Zicheng was grateful to Li Qing and spoke for him, "Qi Shangshu doesn't want to think about it, if Marquis Yongqing has different intentions, will he come back to report to the emperor?" ”

Qi Tai was stunned and stopped talking.

Zhu Yunwen was a little flustered, "A few gentlemen come with me, and we will go to the court meeting to discuss a plan." ”

After most of the hour, the military generals of Wenchen arrived one after another, and they were all shocked to learn that King Yan had really rebelled.

The Wenchen were impassioned one by one, shouting to quell the rebellion, but the military generals did not say a word and quietly watched the Wenchen perform.

People will die in battle, and these civil servants will not go to the battlefield to work hard, of course they are not afraid, but the cruelty of the generals to the battlefield is clear.

Zhu Yunwen is most afraid of the fourth uncle, and now that the fourth uncle has rebelled, he is even more frightened, and he has completely lost his backbone.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Aiqing, King Yan is reversed, do you have a good plan? ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said, "I have a million army of the Ming Dynasty, just a Yan King, and I haven't been able to capture it yet?" ”

"Not bad!" Huang Zicheng echoed, "As soon as the division of the king of the court arrives, King Yan can only be captured!" ”

After a pause, "Weichen recommended Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, to be the general of the conquest, and to clear up the disaster in one fell swoop." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." The waiter of the Ministry of Works went out to echo, "Cao Guogong defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fishing sea, and as soon as he makes a move, he will definitely take down the king of Yan!" ”

The old god of blue jade was squinting and recuperating, and his ears were unstable outside the window.

Li Jinglong glanced at Lan Yu, his face was hot, and he coughed dryly, "The battle of fishing in the sea is not the work of the public of my country. ”

"Why should Cao Guogong be humble and take the position of general, who else should you?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, "The conquest of King Yan is none other than Cao Guogong." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also seconded the proposal."

……

The reason why Wenchen supported Li Jinglong was because when he was fighting for succession, Li Jinglong was on their side and belonged to his own people.

In addition, there is a more important reason.

They wanted to indirectly influence the army and even control the army through Li Jinglong.

Li Qing was secretly frightened, he had been in the court for so long, how could he not open the thoughts of these ministers.

Damn, these people are so fucking greedy.

Li Qing took a deep breath and was about to go out to recommend the first candidate in the script, but Qi Tai took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Cao Guogong is indeed handsome, but he is not the most suitable person. ”

"Who does Aiqing think is more suitable?" Zhu Yunwen has completely lost his mind.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, is the most suitable."

"Marquis Changxing?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and he nodded, the founding of the six princes and twenty-eight marquis, and the elders who are still alive today are Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying.

Both of them are generals who were killed in troubled times, and their combat experience is so rich that even Zhu Di can't compare.

He trusts Li Jinglong, but he also feels that he is an old watch, with little actual combat experience, and he is far less secure than the veteran Geng Bingwen.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Geng Aiqing, Geng Aiqing, Geng ......"

"Ah, the old minister is here." Geng Bingwen went out of class with a hysterical face.

"I will give you 300,000 troops, and you must annihilate the rebels of King Yan in one fell swoop!"

"Huh?" Geng Bingwen was dumbfounded.

The ministers are also sluggish, can they use 300,000 troops to put down a rebellion of the vassal king?

"The emperor thinks twice!" Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said, "I can't use it, I can't use it at all, 100,000 troops are enough." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Qi Tai echoed, "As soon as the army of the king of the imperial court arrives, the king of Yan will be defeated, and it is a waste to transfer so many troops, and it is better to reduce taxes for the people with that money." ”

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Huang Zicheng followed.

It's like they're in charge, and it's completely generous to others.

As soon as the three of them said this, Wenchen all agreed, and now, they are Wenchen's representatives.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen also seemed to feel that there was a bit of a fuss, but he felt that 100,000 was a bit too little, so he said, "Then 130,000!"

Geng Aiqing listens to the seal! ”

"The old minister obeys the order."

Geng Bingwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, an army of 300,000 is too difficult to lose, but 130,000 is much easier to play.

"I have appointed you as the general of the conquest, and I am fully responsible for counterinsurgency matters, deputy marshal and vanguard...... It's up to you to appoint, don't let me down. ”

"The old minister obeys."

"Li Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

Zhu Yunwen said, "I appointed you as the prisoner of the army, and cooperated with Geng Aiqing to put down the rebellion of King Yan in one fell swoop." ”

Li Qing clenched his fists: "The minister obeys the order." ”

He secretly relaxed, and so far, everything has been developing according to the script he envisioned.

Next, it's up to Geng Bingwen to perform.
