All the people involved in Zhu Gaochi's appeal to King Zhao of Han and King Zhao were demoted, including Zeng Yunfeng.

Zeng Yunfeng was demoted to Nanjing and became the Minister of War. Nanjing is now a place for retirement.

The main room of the residence of Chen Yanqing, the censor of the right capital of the Capital Procuratorate.

"Husband, I heard that you have been demoted!" Fang Yanran said while taking off Zeng Yunfeng's boots.

"You don't understand. I have been promoted. It has only been a while since the seven provincial garrison offices in the south of the Yangtze River were abandoned and in dilapidated state. I went to reorganize the garrison offices, restore the military system, and support the prince." Zeng Yunfeng looked down at Fang Yanran's face and said.

.

"Should I go to Nanjing with you?" Fang Yanran asked while putting Zeng Yunfeng into comfortable shoes.

"No, the border of Shandong is not peaceful. Although the army of King Zhao of Han has not moved at the same place, these monsters and ghosts have jumped out of the border of Shandong. You still don't want to follow. The capital is protected by the Shenji Battalion and is unshakable. It is very safe.

You stay here." Zeng Yunfeng stood up, took off his black gauze hat and put his hand into the basin and said.

"Oh, by the way, Jinying and Jinyun will send a copy of their homework to me in a letter every three days. Now their homework cannot be neglected. You should keep an eye on it while I'm away. Don't let them play.

You're wild." Zeng Yunfeng said as he took the handkerchief from Fang Yanran and wiped his hands.

"Okay, I know, let's eat, I've heated it up several times!" Fang Yanran said while pouring the wine.

Tensions between father and son were at stake in the emperor's chamber in the Forbidden City in the capital.

"Dad, what are you doing? Yang Shiqi, you gave it to your second uncle, Chen Yanqing, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yu Qian to be demoted. Do you want to surrender? I will never agree to surrender. If grandpa is under Jiuquan and knows that the country will be divided,

I guess I have to crawl out of the coffin." Zhu Zhanji said suppressing his emotions.

"It seems that you have made up your mind, let's declare the decree!" Emperor Zhu Gaochi said with his eyes closed.

"The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. I have carefully investigated the details and found that the crown prince Zhu Zhanji ignored his relatives and the holy will. He blindly sought war and was frivolous and willful. The crown prince immediately left for Nanjing to study and cultivate his character. He did not obey the imperial decree and was not allowed to return to the court.

, as a sign of punishment, I appreciate this!" After an internal official read the edict, Zhu Zhanji lay directly on the ground.

Emperor Zhu Gaochi then demoted his son Zhu Zhanji to study in Nanjing. This meant that Chong'er was at peace outside. Emperor Hongxi thought long and hard about putting himself in danger. By sending his son out, he also had little confidence in his three major battalions to prevent accidents.

Starting from the first year of Hongxi, King Han and King Zhao had been rebelling. However, the rebellion lasted for a long time and they did not even go out of Shandong. None of the local vassal kings they contacted dared to expressly support them. The vassal kings were not fools either.

Emperor Zhu Gaochi was really a man who used extremely powerful tactics. He knew that the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Han and King Zhao were much stronger than the soldiers and horses in his own hands. They turned out to be the men and horses of the third imperial battalion under Emperor Yongle.

This time, the focus of countering the rebellion was to attack the city first. Although King Zhao of Han kept clamoring and even told Emperor Zhu Gaochi that he wanted his capital. Even though Zhu Gaochi did not send a single soldier, the war had already begun. However, King Han and King Zhao had no choice but to

Just feel it.

The emperor also demoted the prince to Nanjing in order to appease the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, he will need troops and money, and he will be attacked from the north and the south. It will be impossible for the kings of Han and Zhao who are stuck in Shandong to hold on.

But in order not to damage the Ming Dynasty's national power, the King of Han and King Zhao are now stuck in the middle of Shandong, preventing them from advancing or retreating.

Prince Zhu Zhanji did not see the foresight of his father, Emperor Hongxi Zhu Gaochi, and only wanted to fight and kill.

Zeng Yunfeng could understand why the emperor Zhu Gaochi demoted himself to Nanjing as the Minister of War. He did not come to Nanjing to cultivate his moral character like the prince. He came here to command the people of the seven provinces of Jiangnan, integrate the troops, and do things.

Prepare for the worst.

In addition, in the past few years, the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have also been away from the war because Emperor Yongle has been away fighting, and their armaments are also very lax. Zeng Yunfeng came here to tighten the clockwork for them to prevent a war from happening later, and they would not be able to leave.

moving road.

Chen Yanqing's old house in Nanjing City.

"Wu Haitu, you have been buried in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years. Today, I want to activate you. From now on, you will use your real name, Yao Feng, to dig deep into the southeastern land and keep an eye on all these families.

The seven provinces south of the Yangtze River are the top priority until the north is pacified. Avoid the spies from Dian Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and be careful!" Zeng Yunfeng said, looking at the old friend in front of him.

"Master, don't worry, you gave me my life, I will do my job well!" Wu Haitu said without hesitation.

"Wrong, your life is your own, and you have to reproduce and have descendants. What I want is that Jiangnan is safe, and I don't want anything else." Zeng Yunfeng said with a smile.

For people like Wu Haitu, Zeng Yunfeng started seven and pinned them to various industries in Jiangnan. Some things must be planned in advance.

Emperor Zhu Gaochi had been emperor for more than 200 days, and suddenly died of illness on his bed. Prince Zhu Zhanji rushed back to the capital to ascend the throne and take the title of Xuande.

After everything was ready, Zhu Zhanji launched an army to quell the rebellion.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne as emperor, he first launched a large army to suppress the rebellion. However, the first thing he did when he arrived in Jinan, Shandong Province was to send people to persuade his two uncles to surrender.

After Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, he transferred Zeng Yunfeng back from Nanjing and appointed Zeng Yunfeng as the left minister of the Ministry of War. This time he went on the expedition with Emperor Xuande.

"Why are you leaving right after you come back!" Fang Yanran said with an unhappy face as she packed her bags for Zeng Yunfeng.

"It is hard to disobey the sacred command. This time, hurry up and come back as soon as you go." Zeng Yunfeng consoled him.

"You can lie to me, but fighting will never be faster." Fang Yanran said in disbelief.

"Then just watch! You little bastards, study hard. If I find you lazy when I come back, be careful of the fried meat with bamboo shoots!" Zeng Yunfeng turned to warn the two sneaky children outside the door.

The two children, Chen Jinying and Chen Jinyun, felt their butts grow cold when they heard this.

On the night when Emperor Xuande's army arrived in Jinan, there were cries of killing in the imperial camp.

Zeng Yunfeng was more alert than ordinary people, and he jumped up when he heard the sound.

"Someone is coming to beat the drum of gathering generals. It is said that Jiang Lan and Ma Rong are here to see me. Please put on my armor!" Zeng Yunfeng shouted.

The drums of the gathering drums resounded throughout the Shenji Camp. Zeng Yunfeng was already fully dressed by the time Jiang Lan and Ma Rong arrived.

"Jiang Lan sealed the gate of the Shenji Camp. The Shenji Camp cannot be in chaos. Ma Rong, take all the cavalry you can with me to rescue the cavalry. The soldiers are very fast." Zeng Yunfeng got on the horse and pulled the reins. After saying this, he jerked the horse.

Go straight to the imperial tent.

At this time, the imperial camp was already ablaze with fireworks. Zeng Yunfeng led the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion to attack and beat away the soldiers who came to attack the camp twice.

"Chen Mingde is here, who dares to fight!" Zeng Yunfeng raised his head high and shouted.

"Your Highness the King of Han, Chen Manzi is here!" said the guard of the King of Han.

"Damn it, this Chen Manzi ruined my good deeds, get out!" The King of Han secretly watched Chen Yanqing's teeth grinding to pieces, then he tugged on the horse's reins and rode away.

"Master Chen, the traitors have all retreated!" Ma Rong said, cupping his hands.

"How are the casualties? Fortunately, more than a dozen people were slightly injured, so it's not a big problem." Zeng Yunfeng asked immediately.

The Xuande Emperor was almost captured today. Fortunately, Zeng Yunfeng's Shenji Battalion stood by to protect him and scared the Han King's men away.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zeng Yunfeng stepped forward to pay homage and said.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, who was wearing pajamas and bare feet, covered his forehead with a look of embarrassment on his face. Apparently he had not recovered from the shock.

"The general's incompetence caused the Chinese army to be attacked!" Fan Zhong knelt down and apologized.

"I don't blame you. The people in the three major camps of Yuqian, the fifth military camp of Shenji camp, and the three thousand battalions are basically relatives and friends.

"It is inevitable that some of them who are close to the King of Han want to dedicate my head to my second uncle among the letters they exchange. Thanks to Chen Yanqing for coming to the rescue. I am tired, so please go down." Emperor Xuande waved his hand helplessly.

.

Coming out of the imperial tent, Zeng Yunfeng and Fan Zhong walked side by side.

"General Fan, the Ming army had to dig three trenches with bamboo sticks all over to set up camp. How could the Chinese army camp be easily broken through? You have to go and check it out. If the King of Han attacks the camp, there must be a traitor. Your Majesty doesn't mention it, so you can't pretend it's nothing."

This is the case, otherwise you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, will not be able to escape the blame!" Zeng Yunfeng warned Fan Zhong seriously.

"But after checking, people are in panic. Isn't the morale of the army completely in chaos?" Fan Zhong said.

"This is not your consideration, the emperor has his own plans." Zeng Yunfeng said.

Fan Zhong also looked solemn when he heard this.
