Chapter 238: Layout in the hearts of people
In the big tent of Shenji Camp, Zeng Yunfeng was eating porridge. He had been busy for most of the night and didn't even eat breakfast. He went straight to lunch.
The soldiers came to report, "The emperor has an order. The right minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Yanqing, and the deputy general of the Shenji Camp will listen to the order!"
"Go right away!" Zeng Yunfeng wiped his mouth and said.
There was a moment of solemnity inside the Chinese army's imperial camp tent. Emperor Xuande held a dozen letters and looked up at the ceiling of the tent without speaking. Some generals were trembling nervously. Zeng Yunfeng raised his eyes and looked at Shenji camp Zou Yan.
His eyes were wandering, which was very abnormal. No wonder this was a crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan.
"Fan Zhong, have you read these letters?" Emperor Xuande lowered his head and asked Fan Zhong.
"I don't dare. I haven't moved at all. Please give the emperor a preview." Fan Zhong replied.
"This is a fight between roommates. There is no glory in winning. I won't read these letters!" Xuande said and threw the letters on the fire to burn them.
"I don't care how many of you are related to the brothers and relatives of the King of Han. For the sake of the country and individuals, this war can no longer be fought. You can continue to write letters, but I hope you will write in your letters that those who surrender at the end of the battle will be promoted, and those who insist on going their own way will be promoted.
He will be severely punished, but the rest will be innocent. The camp must retreat twenty miles and go down!" Emperor Xuande sighed and said.
Jiang Lan, Ma Rong, Zeng Yunfeng and others were walking in front and behind, with Zou Yan wearing a
"Why don't I understand, sir? What is the emperor trying to do?" Ma Rong said.
"The first priority is to attack the heart, and the second is to attack the city. Let's learn from it!" Zeng Yunfeng said with a smile and shook his head.
The King of Han and Xiao Wang seemed to have an advantage in the army, but the other vassal kings had already turned their backs on them.
Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji's move was also used by Cao Cao, which directly won over his own army and the troops under the King of Han.
No Han people are willing to fight a civil war like this. Everyone has seen that the kings of Han and Zhao have long since lost the reason for the Qing emperor to kill villains, and there is no hope of a successful rebellion. These armies are now short of steps. In ancient times, they were besieging cities for three days.
Missing one is to give them a way out and save them from a desperate counterattack.
Han Wen and King Zhao have been holding on to death, and there is nothing these army officers can do. Now the new emperor has given them a step down. They can rise in front of the battle and be promoted. Those who insist on going their own way will be severely punished. Anyone with a wrong mind will have to die.
Emperor Xuande immediately won them over with this move. It seemed that Zhu Zhanji had really matured a lot.
As for the King of Han, they cannot leave Shandong at all now. First, they have no reputation for rebellion, and second, they have no one to support them.
Originally, it could be said that it was for Emperor Yongle's Qingjun to side-kill the villain, but now there is no reason at all, and the teacher is unknown.
If they use a large army now, they are really trying to usurp power, and none of the vassal kings everywhere will support them.
Now the entire Shandong is surrounded without attacking, in order to avoid the loss of the Ming Dynasty's national power and the easy use of weapons. This time Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji came to Shandong and surrendered all the soldiers of the original 3000 Battalion and the 5th Army Battalion.
In fact, this counter-rebellion war had started long ago, but the King of Han and King Zhao had not noticed it at all.
The army of the King of Han and the army of Emperor Xuande were fighting outside the city of Jinan, with flags fluttering, strong winds blowing, and swords at war.
"Send the order, artillery level three, two thousand steps, bearing ninety-three, blank ammunition, prepare for the first salvo." Zeng Yunfeng said while looking at the situation.
"Blank ammunition?" Jiang Lan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you will know just by looking at the formation on the opposite side." Zeng Yunfeng shook his head and said, these men are very good at fighting, but they are far from good at politics.
"Sir, why can't I see any murderous intent at all?" Ma Rong said, holding a telescope and looking at it doubtfully.
"Ma Rong has already seen it, Jiang Lan, you should also take a closer look." Zeng Yunfeng said and handed Jiang Lan a telescope.
Jiang Lan put down the telescope and said: "The emperor is really powerful. He can defeat others without fighting."
"This is a good plan set up by the late emperor. Today we are all in the same boat." Zeng Yunfeng looked at the sky and seemed to be able to see the innocent smile of the late emperor Zhu Gaochi.
With a round of empty bombs, the Han army directly turned against the enemy, which is unimaginable in official history.
King Han was completely confused now. To be precise, his head was buzzing.
The princes of the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River had already been conquered by Emperor Xuande and Zeng Yunfeng when they became Minister of War in Nanjing.
The king of Han fought with hundreds of thousands of troops, but lost less than 100 people, so they all surrendered.
In Zeng Yunfeng's view, victory in this battle was natural, and the morale of the military and the people were all with Emperor Xuande.
In fact, the real winner of this battle, the Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi, and the then Yongle Emperor Zhu Di did not have confidence that their son and his grandson could win the King of Han. This was also the reason why Zhu Di asked for the throne before his death.
Zhu Gaochi's eight months of management caused the foundations of the Han and Zhao kings to collapse. They no longer had the vassal ministers to support them, their wealth, and their hearts.
Emperor Hongxi destroyed their internal fighting spirit, and they even lost their military morale. He sent his son, Prince Zhu Zhanji, to Nanjing to take charge of the task of restoring stability to the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River.
He also sent Yang Shiqi himself in front of the King of Han and King Zhao, so that they could use the banner of the king to kill the villain. Without the use of force, the King of Han and others could only hide in Shandong and could not move.
Zhu Gaochi, the Hongxi Emperor, was truly a good warrior. He had no illustrious achievements. He attacked the city first and attacked the heart first.
The current Emperor Xuande just took over the wooden basket from Emperor Hongxi Zhu Gaochi and came to collect the fruits.
The kings of Han and Zhao were really good at playing. They threw all their wives, concubines, and belongings in the capital to rebel. These princes and emperors of the Ming Dynasty were more and more funny than each other.
After successfully suppressing the rebellion, Emperor Xuande used a great victory in Shandong to purge the army and divide the rebels.
"Master Chen, it's time for our good days to come, right?" Jiang Lan asked, while Ma Rong nodded.
"After the great chaos, there will be great peace. You cannot escape the reward. You can't finish it just for saving the enemy. But it is easy to empty out the army in the prosperous times. Only by enduring loneliness can you enjoy the glory of the earth. You
All the capital is closely related to the Shenji camp. You can feed this bowl of rice for more than ten generations, so don’t lose yourself alive." Zeng Yunfeng patted Jiang Lan on the shoulder and warned.
Jiang Lan and Ma Rong listened thoughtfully.
King Zhao of Han was escorted directly back to the capital and imprisoned at home to read.
Emperor Xuande did not know which official deceived him and said that the reason for the Han Dynasty rebellion was that he had few studies. He also sent people to study with the Han Dynasty. Among the people who accompanied the Han Dynasty to study were Yu Qian and Zeng Yunfeng.
Zeng Yunfeng really had nothing to do. After he came back, he was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and promoted to the Zuodu Censor. Many matters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were decided by the Zuodu Censor, but the matters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were decided every year.
Not a lot either.
He also didn't want to fight for power with the Youdu Yushi. He had no chance of joining the cabinet, and he was too lazy to go. The cabinet was now a gang of wives, and he couldn't stand it.
Now is the time of peace. If you don't enjoy it, why don't you wait until there is a war?
Some things need to be accumulated well in order to make progress. These things about the Mongolian tribes cannot be solved in one or two times in a year or two. The most important thing at the moment is to increase the combat effectiveness of the entire army and improve the national strength of the country. This
That's what matters most.
These things had to be settled slowly, so he took a break from his busy schedule and asked Emperor Xuande for the task of educating his second uncle. Zhu Zhanji also knew that the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his second uncle was actually
Afraid of him.
Although the emperor didn't want to kill his second uncle, he didn't want his second uncle to drink and listen to music at home every day and live a happy life. He had to deal with state affairs every day and was half exhausted, which would definitely make him sick.
Yu Qian came one day before Zeng Yunfeng. He was like this. He talked about the court and justice all day long. But for the King of Han, how could he listen to this thing?
The King of Han felt that he was insulted, so he sent Yu Qian away after Zeng Yunfeng arrived.
Zeng Yunfeng knew that the King of Han was suffering from pain all over his back and bones. He had not practiced martial arts for a day and his whole body felt weak.
Zeng Yunfeng glanced at the King of Han with the wooden sword he brought and said, "Your Highness, King of Han, are you interested in fighting with me?"
Then he looked at His Royal Highness the King of Han's livid face, waved his hands and said, "Oh, forget it, forget it, I can see from your face that you are scared. If you leave, you should continue to learn from Yu Qian and practice from time to time."
The king of Han rolled his eyes and said: "Whoever is afraid, I will beat him. Whoever is afraid of him will be beaten."
