In the tall, gorgeous and majestic Chengyun Hall, a group of jackals, tigers and leopards are discussing major matters of rebellion.
Zhu Hengjia sat facing the south, with Guan Shouzhen, the chief envoy of Guangxi, Yang Guowei, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, Yu Chaoxiang of Ti Xue Dao, Gu Yi, the official of Guilin government, Sun Jinding, the scribe, counselor Yan Tianfeng, Fan Youxian, Guilin left guard commander Shi Shi Qiwen and Yi.
Sun Gui and Yang Wu, the people of Weishe, Zhu Hengkuo, the lieutenant of Fengguo, Shi Bai, the chief of the palace, Zhang Cheng, the general manager of the palace, and other civil and military officials.
"You are putting me on the fire! I am not as good as Gui Fan, I am not as good as Tang Fan, and I am not as good as Lu Fan. How dare I ascend to the position of supervising the country?" In the main hall, Zhongshan Wolf behaved in a cowardly manner.
"His Royal Highness is wise and wise, and should succeed to the throne!"
"The King of Gui is cowardly, the King of Tang is a sinful vassal, and the King of Lu is promiscuous. Only Your Highness, your Majesty, has the style of Taizu!"
Listening to the flattery of his confidants, Zhu Hengjia laughed secretly. Who said that the ancients were simple and could not hold back in the face of interests. The original owner wanted to be the supreme leader in the 95th Five-Year Plan, while the losers wanted to follow the dragon. Anyway,
Now that I have traveled through time, I will accompany you in a crazy fight.
"All of you here are Gu's ministers. Today, the Tartars are raging, China is in chaos, and the vassals are incompetent. Gu has no choice but to shoulder this burden. Now there are three things that Gu is most concerned about: reputation, soldiers and money and food." Zhu Hengjia
I want to understand the political, military and economic strength of my own rebellion.
"Tell me, what is the best year for the Gujian Kingdom?"
"Your Highness is the bloodline of Taizu's elder brother. Emperor Lie died without heirs, and the imperial line was cut off. Hongwu should be used as the year, and this year should be Hongwu 287." Sun Da was flattering.
"What Mr. Sun said is true. The Tartars invaded China. Your Highness should inherit the legacy of Taizu, put an end to the evil smell, restore the clothes of our Han family, and use Hongwu as the reign name. The best thing would be", Guan Da Dog Leg
Also a strong show of loyalty.
In feudal society, if you want to be an emperor, blood relationship is an important factor.
Historically, in order to solve this problem, the Guilin rebel group represented by Zhu Hengjia unusually continued to use the Hongwu reign name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and changed the first year of Hongguang to Hongwu 287. This actually negated all the reigns of Emperor Taizu after him.
The orthodox status of Emperor Ming prematurely exposed to the world King Jingjiang's ambition to replace Taizu's direct descendants as emperor with his own collateral bloodline, and was reviled by the world. Except for Guilin Yifu and a few areas in Guangxi, almost no one
Response.
Now that we have traveled through time, this mistake must be avoided.
"Pa", Zhu Hengjia took pictures of Yuan angrily.
"Do you think Gu Jianguo is just to proclaim himself emperor? I heard that after the Jiashen Kingdom changed, Emperor Lie's son Ding Wang, Yong Wang is still alive and living among the people in the north. Hated Fu Fan, Lu Fan, Tang Dynasty
Fans, Lu Fans, these rebels, not only did not welcome the princes and grandsons of Lie to inherit the throne, but they all thought about proclaiming themselves emperors, wolfish ambitions, and delusional artifacts! I decided to use the Chongzhen reign name, and regard this year as the 18th year of Chongzhen.
It shows that Gu has never forgotten the late emperor. After Gu Bei goes to King Qin to wipe out the Tartars and restore China, he will then look for the late emperor's descendants to inherit the great power. Gu Chi's sincere heart is as clear as the sun and the moon!"
Zhongshan Wolf was moved by his words, became passionate and burst into tears.
Silence, deathly silence, and then the thundering roar of the mountains and the tsunami, "I will obey the king's order, expel the Tartars, restore China, and defend our Ming Dynasty with iron-blooded loyalty!"
Changed, everything changed. It was originally a naked conspiracy, but now it just changed the reign name, and it seems to have become famous and righteous.
"Who said that my king can only eat, drink, have fun, and be brave and fight fiercely? He is wise and wise, just like his brother Taizu. Could it be that God took pity on me, the Ming Dynasty, and sent down another generation of heroes?" The ministers thought to themselves.
"Our king is still wise. He claims to oversee the country for the late emperor's lineage first, and then returns to power after finding the late emperor's descendants. It has been two years since the city of Beijing was conquered. Where can the descendants of Lord Chongzhen be found? In the end, it is our prince who owns the country. It's really high, it's really high!" Sun Da slandered.
After deciding on the famous weapon, ask about military affairs.
Since ancient times, rebellion has been impossible without soldiers. The original owner understood this truth. First, he selected 500 people from the relatives of King Jingjiang's clan to expand his bodyguard; then, in the name of Zhuang Dingnuyuan, he recruited more than 100 people from all over Guangxi who owned the Among the royal villages, the tenants of the royal palace were recruited into Guilin, with thirty or forty tenants from the small village and one or two hundred from the large village. They also asked the royal palace chief to recruit thousands of royal captains in Guilin City. After patchwork, they actually managed to get 20,000 people. Unfortunately, they were all They are a bunch of rabble.
"General Yang, General Shi, are your subordinates worthy of use?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Our troops have been in battle for a long time and will be able to protect Your Highness." Yang Guowei looked confident.
"Your Highness, don't worry. The Guilin Left Guards are training every day, and they will not dare to miss your Highness's important events." Shi Qiwen hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
"Yeah", Zhu Hengjia nodded.
Yang Guowei's three battalions had more than 9,000 soldiers, and Shi Qiwen's first guard had 5,600 soldiers. These two regular armies were his main forces. Guangxi was home to a mixed population of Han barbarians and was close to the Annan Kingdom. In history, there were constant rebellions and border troubles, and Yang Guowei's troops often It does have some combat effectiveness in countering rebellion. The Guilin Zuowei are the royal guards. They are mainly responsible for protecting the palace's property, helping the palace control the salt road, and suppressing a few bandits. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Yang Guowei's troops, but it is better than the 20,000 they recruited. The mob is still much stronger.
Economic strength is also important.
"Uncle Guan Fang, how much food does Guilin have in its treasury?"
"Your Highness, I have one hundred thousand taels of silver, fifty thousand shi of grain, and five hundred pieces of fodder," Guan Shouzhen said slowly.
Just that much? Guangxi is still too poor! Zhu Hengjia is sad.
"Zhang Cheng, how much food does Gu have in his inner treasury?"
"Your Highness, I have 800,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of gold, 300,000 shi of grain, 100,000 guan of banknotes, 200 pieces of brocade, 500 pieces of silk, 300 pieces of yarn, 1,000 pieces of salt, and 2 pieces of fodder. Thousands of horses, three hundred pieces of jewelry of all kinds, and five warehouses of medicinal materials, armor, saltpeter, etc."
Zhu Hengjia was shocked.
The king of Jingjiang has been in Guangxi for more than 200 years. This heritage is really profound. With both soldiers and money, it’s no wonder that the original owner wanted to be the emperor ambitiously!
"Mr. Sun, have the envoys sent to Ding Meichu and Chen Bang come back?"
Zhu Hengjia handed over the external liaison work to Sun Jinding.
"Your Highness, Ding Butang was very happy after hearing the news. He kept saying that you have the appearance of an emperor, and said that after you take charge of the country, he will send troops to participate in the grand event with you. General Chen Shen also expressed his loyalty to Your Highness. He said that Si'en
There is a rebellion among the chieftains. Once the rebellion is suppressed, they will lead their troops to join the prince."
Bah, these two naughty guys. Historically, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ding Meichu, and Sien's general Chen Bangchuan, two powerful local factions, flirted with Zhu Hengjia and defrauded the original owner of a lot of money. As a result, after Zhu Hengjia took over the country, not only did these two people not help,
They also sent troops to attack Jingfan's army and sold out the original owner.
Glancing at Sun Jinding who was beaming with joy, Zhu Hengjia said sternly, "To strike, you need to be strong yourself. You can't rely on others. We still have to train our own soldiers well."
"Have all the wolf soldiers from all the chieftains arrived?"
Sun Jinding's old face turned red: "Your Highness, all the chieftains have received the seal from Qu Shichu and refused to obey the king's order."
Guangxi Wolf Soldiers are famous all over the world.
Historically, the original owner coveted him and once called upon the 45-hole Coyote Biaoyong in Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Zuojiang, and Youjiang to serve him. Unfortunately, the original owner was arrogant and did not know how to keep it secret, so he leaked the information.
After hearing the news, Qu Shichun, the governor of Guangxi, was shocked. He immediately informed the chieftains of various caves with the governor's seal not to obey the orders of King Jingjiang. He also ordered Si'en's general Chen Bangchuan to be on alert. As a result, the original owner did not transfer a single wolf soldier, and the rebel strength was reduced.
A lot.
"Confidentiality is very important!" Zhu Hengjia thought to himself.
"Gu Tuiguan, I have ordered you to organize the government officials to strictly investigate the spies; General Yang, your department will close the gates of Guilin from today and block the news; Yang Wu, your cavalry will take turns patrolling along the moat, and immediately capture anyone found swimming across the river.
Interrogation."
"Without Wang Ling alone, not a single bird is allowed to fly out of Guilin."
A ray of morning sun shone into the Chengyun Hall, and Zhu Hengjia's eyes showed a fierce light and his face was ferocious. The concubine He Liang who was serving beside him suddenly felt that his master was very different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different.
