Chapter 326: Analysis
Chapter 326 Analysis
In the hall, Xiaohong saw me enter the door and retreated, Zhu Di sat on the Taishi chair, and Yao Guangxiao on the side also sat down next to Zhu Di, and behind Zhu Di stood Song Lin.
"Xiao Qin, congratulations first. Zhu Di saw me walking over and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. I sat down as well.
"Now that you are the master of the Martial Arts Alliance, you control all the large and small sects in the rivers and lakes, and I have a reluctant request. Then Zhu Di thought about it and said.
"I know what Lord Yan means, the major sects of the Central Plains Martial Arts will not participate in the battle of the imperial court. I said.
"Oh, really, but there are indeed many sects involved in the imperial court right now. Zhu Di said.
"Well, I know, I have already figured out the Tang Sect and Qin Zhuang, and I will not participate in the merger again, Lord Wang, you can rest assured, as for the people of the Green Snake Gang, I will naturally intervene later, by the way, Lord Wang, I will not care about the Lonely Moon Sect behind you, but Sect Master Zhang is the director of the martial arts who is now mainly responsible for handling the relationship between the sect and the imperial court, you should know it." I said.
"Hehe, I know, I have been in Wudang for the past few days of the martial arts conference. Zhu Di said.
"What? are you in Wudang?" I asked, surprised.
"Well, the imperial court is also very nervous about the martial arts conference you held, no less than 50,000 elite troops are stationed under Wudang Mountain, this time the Mongols are also involved, if the Central Plains martial arts can't control the situation, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court will be killed up the mountain. Zhu Di said calmly.
This made me feel shocked, how could I not know anything about the imperial court's meddling in the martial arts? Could it be that Zhang Qiao of the Lonely Moon Sect paid attention? Those 50,000 elite soldiers should not be the people of the imperial court. It should be Zhu Di's person.
"Hehe, I guess those 50,000 horses should be the people of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiangxian. I spoke.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Zhu Di said with a faint smile, and the monk on the side also smiled.
This Yao Guangxiao is a famous adviser in history, and under the guidance of this monk, Zhu Di already has his own clear goals and directions.
"Hehe, whether I guessed well or for other reasons, you just need to tell me whether what I said just now is right or not. I replied.
"Okay, you're right, the 50,000 horses in Wudang were indeed secretly dispatched by Zhu Bai on my orders, and I want to make sure that the martial arts conference will not go wrong. Zhu Di replied.
Zhu Di is really smart. On the one hand, control the army that can be controlled. On the other hand, through the infiltration of the martial arts gangs, the Central Plains martial arts were controlled.
"Lord Yan, you won. I said.
"Alright. We're not going to discuss the martial arts conference anymore, Xiao Qin, you'll help me. Zhu Di stared at me and said.
"Yes. I will. I replied.
"En. That's good. Now that my father is seriously ill, it is estimated that he will die soon, once my father dies. I'll start my troops immediately, Xiao Qin, and when the time comes, I need you to lead the major gangs of the martial arts to help me. Zhu Di looked at me and said.
"Lord Wang, I promised to help you, but I won't take the entire martial arts gang with me. I said.
"Why is that?" asked Zhu Di.
"Martial arts people don't practice martial arts for anything, they just escape from the world, in the depths of the mountains and rivers of the gang sect they circled, these people are destined not to be used by the imperial court, nor will they be used by the imperial court, Lord Wang, I hope you don't pay attention to the martial arts sect, the Guyue Sect and the Salt Gang have now been used by the prince, you will be content, not to mention that I promised you that I would help you, it is enough to have me." I said.
At this moment, I am also thinking about a question in my heart, that old Zhu (Zhu Yuanzhang) died three years after this Zhu Di became the emperor, now this Zhu Di and other old Zhu died to rebel, this is not in line with history, it seems that I have to let this Zhu Di settle down for a few more years, otherwise once history changes, I am afraid that there will be no one like me Xiao Qin in the 21st century, then the idea that I can return to modern times in my dream is absolutely fantastical.
"Okay, with Miss Xiao's words, this king will rest assured, three days later, I will call Gu Yuan together with Zhang Qiao of the Lonely Moon Sect and King Xiangxian, and then Miss Xiao, you must also come to discuss the matter after the death of my father. Zhu Di said.
"No, you can't. I quickly spoke.
"Well, what's not?" Zhu Di asked, staring at me.
"The incident, Lord Yan, after the death of Emperor Hongwu, you must not raise troops. I hurriedly said, now I must try my best to convince this Zhu Di that he must follow history and must not make any stubble.
"Hehe, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is now under clear control, could it be that Miss Xiao, you know the current situation better than this king? But this king still has to ask Miss Xiao to explain the reason, why can't he raise troops after the death of his father Wang Xian?" Zhu Di looked at me with a conceited look and said, Yao Guangxiao on the side showed a smile at the moment, this old monk is very scheming, I guess he also thinks I have a point, now it depends on how I convince Zhu Di.
Since ancient times, the overlords and founding kings have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely confident, but hidden under the stubbornness and self-use, there is also this person's lofty strategy and broad mind, this Zhu Di is also the same, although he has his own decision in his heart, but he still wants me to tell the truth.
That's the difference between a winner and a loser.
Initially, both had their own choices.
The former will also adopt the opinions of others, and the latter will not listen to the opinions of others at all.
"Lord Wang, once Emperor Hongwu dies, according to his old man's meaning, let your nephew Zhu Yunwen succeed to the throne. I asked.
"Yes, hum, just a hairy boy, don't be afraid. Zhu Di said.
"I don't want you to be afraid of him, the first emperor died, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, this should be the time when the world is peaceful and stabilize the people's hearts, once the prince raises troops at this time, you have to bear a reputation of unfilial piety, the people have the greatest filial piety in their hearts, once you offend the people, the future will be very difficult, second, the new emperor is gone, the surrounding forces must have moved, in the north, the people and horses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been eyeing each other, this time the martial arts conference. The Esoteric Sect is the people of the Northern Yuan, as I expected, the Northern Yuan and the people in the court have colluded, once the prince raises troops, the Northern Yuan will be the army to the south, and then the prince and you will be attacked from both sides, and the situation is not good; and thirdly, how many soldiers and horses do you have now?" I asked.
"Wait???? Miss Xiao, what you said in the first two points is very reasonable, and this king has also considered these two points, and his father passed away. Yun Wen's succession to the throne itself does not conform to the program. Why can't this king conform to the will of the people?" Zhu Di said.
"Lord Wang, the people also know about the affairs of the Gangchang, the throne is generally inherited by the eldest son, but it is not excluded that the emperor ordained other princes for other reasons. Emperor Hongwu has canonized Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson. This is in line with the guidelines. Therefore, my lord, your so-called conforming to the will of the people is not advisable. I said.
"This?? Guangxiao, what do you think?" Zhu Di turned to Yao Guangxiao and asked.
"Lord Wang, I think Miss Xiao is right. Yao Guangxiao said with a slight smile. There are not many words in just a few words, and the lack of his attitude pushed Zhu Di's full stomach of questions to me, this Yao monk is clever.
"Okay, then the second point, the Northern Yuan people don't have to worry, once I raise troops, it is enough to leave 20,000 people to guard the Yanbei area. Zhu Di said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that the 20,000 you said will need to be followed by a zero. I said with a smile.
"What did you say?" asked Zhu Di with shock in his eyes.
"The Yuan Dynasty has been forced out of the Central Plains by the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years, these more than 40 years, the Yuan people have been recuperating outside the Saiwai, they have always had the belief in killing back to the Central Plains, if the light is only this belief, as the prince said, only 20,000 people are enough, but now Huang Zicheng and Na Qitai in the court have colluded with the Yuan people as I expected, that Huang Zicheng is ambitious, and has been supporting Zhu Yunwen to inherit the throne, and he definitely has the intention of usurping the throne in his heart. ”
"What??? Huang Zicheng, is there really such a thing? I arranged for someone to get rid of him. Zhu Di didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and then rushed to say excitedly.
"Lord Wang, I'll talk about it when I'm done. I said with a smile.
"Oh??? I'm sorry, Miss Xiao, you go on. Zhu Di said.
"Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai have almost controlled the entire court now, once Emperor Hongwu dies, if the prince you raise troops, this is a great opportunity for Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng has an excuse to mobilize the army in Qi Tai's hands to deal with the prince, and then if the other vassal kings follow Huang Zicheng to deal with the prince, it will be troublesome, and at this time, the Northern Yuan will also be dispatched, far more than the 20,000 people you said can resist. I said.
"What Miss Xiao said makes sense, Lord Wang, the poor monk actually had concerns before, although the Northern Yuan Dynasty has had a lot of friction with the prince in the Yanbei area in the past few decades, but there is no big war in the real sense, decades of forbearance, the strength of the Northern Yuan is definitely not something that you can resist with 20,000 people. Yao Guangxiao said.
"Well??? Xiao Qin, you have a point, but what I never expected was that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai actually colluded with the Beiyuan people, which is very important, thanks to you, I never took this into account, by the way, Xiao Qin, what do you mean by asking me how many troops I have now?" Zhu Di now looked at me with a tender look, which made me a little embarrassed.
"Oh?? I just want to know how many people you have now. I whispered, my heart beating faster???? Damn, you can't be tempted by Zhu Di, you can't???? I used my internal force to forcibly seal the blood that was about to boil.
"Now in Yanjing, my fiefdom reports that there are 50,000 horses in the imperial court, in fact, there are 150,000 people and horses, and in the area south of the Yangtze River, plus the 100,000 horses of King Xiangxian, and now I am still gathering new soldiers in these two places, and there should be 300,000 horses when my father Wang Xian dies. Zhu Di said.
"Three hundred thousand?? It's far from enough, I know that the prince's subordinates are brave and good at fighting, but once the war starts, there is the Northern Yuan in the north, the court and many vassal kings in the south, and the troops are insufficient. I said.
"Well, I don't know it's enough, but I don't have much money in my hand right now. Zhu Di said.
"Lord Wang, Miss Xiao has a far-reaching strategy, why don't you listen to Lord Xiao's opinion? When is the most appropriate time to raise troops? and what should we do with the current situation?" Yao Guangxiao on the side said.
This monk ??? The IQ is too high, isn't this to say what he wants to say through my mouth?
Okay, then I'll talk about it.
Now that I know the results of history, and I have also learned some of the stories of Zhu Di in the historical knowledge of modern society, I will analyze and analyze it from a historical perspective.
"Okay, if you don't dislike it, prince, I'll talk about the foolish opinion of the people's daughter. I said.
"How can it be a foolish opinion? Xiao Qin, say it quickly. Zhu Di no longer has the confident look on his face just now, but he has a little more attachment to me, which makes me dare not look at Zhu Di directly.
"Well, I started to say, what the prince has to do now is actually very simple, first go with the flow, ostensibly support that Zhu Yunwen to succeed to the throne, once the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the prince you return to your fiefdom as soon as possible, the new emperor will soon attack the vassal kings, this is also a good thing for the prince, through Zhu Yunwen's hands to break these scattered forces one by one, it will also be very helpful for the prince to start things in the future, second, the prince, you have to prepare more troops secretly, I will give you an answer tomorrow in terms of silver, third, about that Huang Zicheng, I will find a way to cut off his left and right hands first, Qi Tai's military power is not easy to move, but Qi Tai itself is not to be afraid, His command of the army is very helpful to the prince, as for the Northern Yuan, once the prince is ready to raise troops, I will personally go to the Northern Yuan to ensure that the Northern Yuan will not send troops, and then the prince you can rest assured that you will go south. I said.
"Lord Xiao said it very well, and the poor monk felt that he could adopt Lord Xiao's opinion. Yao Guangxiao lost his smile at the moment, looked at me with admiration and said to Zhu Di.
"Well??? That makes sense, but how long will it take?" said Zhu Di with some concerns.
"In less than two years, you will send troops. I said.
"Why are you so sure?" asked Zhu Di in surprise. (To be continued......)
