Chapter 157 Huang Taiji Take It!
Along the river, the wind is blowing.
Standing on the river embankment, Zhu Guoqiang, wearing a white robe, his face as sinking as water, remained silent all the way to the river bank.
Behind him stood a crowd of officers and soldiers holding weapons. The 30,000 officers and soldiers under his command were all dressed in white, and the three armies were in plain clothes.
The three armies of Sujin!
Who died?
After hearing the news, the gentry and the common people all looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment.
"Prince De, all the troops are in hiding. What is the reason for this?"
Someone in the crowd of onlookers immediately whispered:
"Did you know? There is a treacherous minister in the court. Seeing Prince De's victory in consecutive battles, he is afraid that he will defeat the Donglu and the court will lose face!"
"Hey, what a treacherous minister, Tong? He is clearly the emperor himself. He is afraid that Prince De will steal the limelight."
"I heard that Nanjing's Shibutang prevented the prince from guarding Liuhe and Jiangpu, and drove the prince to Yangzhou..."
"Going to Yangzhou? What should we do here?"
"What should we do? Shibutang and the others don't ask us ordinary people."
"What do you know? In fact, this matter is not the main reason. The main reason is that the prince belongs to the clan and hates evil. Since going south, he has killed corrupt officials and eliminated evil officials. Where can those officials tolerate the prince like him? They
Just to frame the prince and want to rebel, I am transferring him to Yangzhou just to deal with him in the future!"
"Who says it's not the case? Look at the prince's appearance. It's probably the same for Yue Wumu's twelve gold medals back then."
... Various whispers spread like the wind among the onlookers. While people were stunned, they could only see Prince De saying sadly and indignantly.
"Emperor Gao, the unfilial descendant Zhu Ciying led his troops south and rushed thousands of miles to help. He originally wanted to fight the Eastern captives, protect the country and the country, and save the people from fire and water. However, there was chaos in the court, and the unfilial descendants were unable to serve the country.
Door! Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao..."
Accompanied by several cries of grief and indignation, Zhu Guoqiang, who was kneeling on the ground facing Nanjing, burst into tears. All 30,000 soldiers knelt down on one knee. For a while, the three armies mourned and the cries shook the sky.
After looking up to the sky and sighing, when he stood up again, Zhu Guoqiang looked toward Nanjing, in the direction of Xiaoling, and then sighed sadly.
"Let's go."
After getting off the river embankment, Zhu Guoqiang jumped on his horse. When he was about to leave with his troops, he saw that all the people who had been watching were kneeling on the roadside. He rode slowly towards the front of the team while riding on the horse. Suddenly, people around him were "Prince Zi"
Voices like "Master" and "Here comes the Prince" echoed loudly.
"Your Majesty, if you leave, what will we, the people of Liuhe, do?"
The people's shouts and questions made Zhu Guoqiang's heart tremble slightly. Looking at the people watching him, Zhu Guoqiang looked up to the sky and sighed.
"If you have the intention to kill the thief, you will be unable to save the world! If you have the intention to kill the thief, there will be no recovery..."
At this moment, the riverside was filled with deep sadness and indignation.
No one could see any emotion in Zhu Guoqiang's eyes, but listening to the prince's extremely sad sigh, everyone felt the pain and sorrow from the prince's heart.
"The most despicable means can be used to achieve the most noble ends."
I didn't expect that I really had the potential to be a Machiavellian. During the conspiracy that day, I was never soft-hearted.
Seeing these sincere eyes at this time, Zhu Guoqiang could not be so calm.
But the play goes on!
Now the Ming Dynasty has reached an extremely dangerous situation. Even if it wants to turn the tide, change the wheel of history, and change the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, there is still too much resistance.
What are these resistances?
The emperor, hundreds of officials, bandits, mites...
They will all become their own resistance on this road. Just like this time, even the famous "loyal ministers" first thought of internal fighting.
Unless you sit back and watch China fall, there is no way out!
"If the Crown Prince now sends troops to Qingjun's side, then the Crown Prince's political prestige will definitely disappear. In the eyes of the people of the world, the Crown Prince is a rebellious minister and traitor. Why was Chengzu opposed by the people of the world? Isn't it because of the lack of righteousness? What Chengzu did
It's for the throne, but the prince's plan is to save the people from fire and water, to save our country, the Ming Dynasty, but instead he has become a rebellious minister! Sir, are you willing to do this?"
"This time Shi Kefa ordered the Crown Prince to go to Yangzhou. It seemed that the Crown Prince had no way to serve the country, but it made the world see the fatuousness of the imperial court. Moreover, if my prediction is correct, Shi Kefa's plan was nothing more than fear.
The prince used the pretext of killing people to seize military power, and there will definitely be back-up men coming here. And when the sun shines, people in the world will naturally see the fatuousness of the prince, and be annoyed by their jealousy of the virtuous and capable. At that time, the prince will use his methods again.
A great victory can turn the tide. Comparing the two, people in the world will understand clearly what is virtuous and what is mediocre. Only in this way can the Crown Prince finish this game of chess with the current emperor. However, in this way, the Crown Prince's situation will become extremely delicate in the future.
, But what is certain is that when the time comes, I will no longer have the name of orthodoxy, but the great righteousness is in my hands. As long as the great righteousness is in me, when the time comes, I will naturally be able to clear your side..."
"What are the people to blame? The prince has a benevolent heart, but how can the world be benevolent to the world? We have no choice, choose the lesser of two evils!"
"Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. What we are planning today is not for the good of the people of one place or one place, but for the good of the people of the world. Please give me a clear warning."
"Besides, otherwise we can't keep it secret. Only if Jiannu sees the grievances of the Crown Prince, will they believe that the Crown Prince will never send troops to the northern expedition to Liaodong..."
"Your Majesty, if you want to command Liaodong, you have to do this. Not only do you perform this scene, but you also have to put on a special performance, so that everyone in the world knows it, and everyone in the world can see your grievances. Look,
When the prince comes, he wants to serve the country but has no way."
"Your Majesty, this drama is for the sake of the world, so that the people of the world will no longer be disturbed by slave-building and banditry!"
Their analysis that day cannot be said to be unreasonable. Moreover, Zhu Guoqiang also knew that he would never be able to bear the situation where Chongzhen and the so-called "upright men" of the Manchu Dynasty dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss!
Hundreds of billions of people died either from rogue bandits or from mites. How could the people deserve to suffer such a catastrophe?
While thinking about their words, I also thought about the deserted land after the Qing Qing invaded. At the same time, I thought about how a battle would determine the outcome. From now on, the Central Plains would never be harassed by slaves again!
As for Abate...you can have your cake and eat it too, as long as...it's all worth it!
Once again, Zhu Guoqiang persuaded himself silently in his heart!
After trying his best to adjust his emotions, Zhu Guoqiang finally just raised his hands and said to the people.
"Dear fellow villagers, it is not because Zhu is unwilling to protect our hometown, but it is hard to disobey military orders and the bandits are cruel. If you, fellow villagers, can trust Zhu, you can evacuate to Yangzhou with me. As long as Zhu is still alive, I will protect you all."
!”
It took a long time before Zhu Guoqiang said such a sentence. His eyes scanned the people's bodies, and he found that he had really accepted it all. Even if he wanted to deny it, he had to admit that now he had completely changed.
Already...
Thousands of people heard the words of the prince clearly, and some people were even more resentful. They knew that the prince could not stay here because he was completely forced to do so by the military. When they thought that loyal ministers had ended up in such a situation, they felt more tragic in their hearts.
, full of sympathy for the prince, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Oh my god, just open your eyes and take a look..."
For a moment, the sky was filled with cries. Amidst the sky-shattering cries, Zhu Guoqiang, who looked up to the sky and sighed, looked northward and sneered silently in his heart.
"Huang Taiji, now it's my turn to snatch you..."
While sneering, Zhu Guoqiang thought of the man in the capital again.
