Take back the world that Emperor Gao conquered!

This is where Zhu Guoqiang’s “righteousness” lies!

In fact, the so-called "great righteousness" is like this. According to the order of succession of the emperor and Ming Dynasty, it is not Zhu Guoqiang's turn to become emperor anyway, but it does not prevent him from "seizing the throne" in the name of Emperor Gao.

Back then, Zhu Di could seize the world from his nephew in the name of "Jingnan", so today Zhu Guoqiang can seize the world from his "uncle" in the name of "protecting the ancestors and the world."

More than two hundred years later, it was another reincarnation. Last time, the uncle took away the nephew, and this time the nephew took away the uncle.

Of course, it was different from when Zhu Di raised his army under the banner of "Jingnan". This time, Zhu Guoqiangji did not raise a banner, and did not even lead an army. He only led a thousand guards in the name of "successfully pacifying the invaders and worshiping Emperor Gao."

, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we set out from Wuchang and went all the way down the river to Nanjing.

For a time, officials and gentry on both sides of the Yangtze River were all staring at this fleet.

What does he want to do?

Everyone asked themselves this. But no one dared to ask. After all, the last time he went to Nanjing, he killed many people.

When the mighty fleet arrived in Jiujiang, dozens of riders came to the riverside, watching the battleships patrolling the river and the sails lined with sails. The group of people all stared at him with solemn expressions. After a while, someone asked

.

"Dong Weng, are you sure you don't want to get on the boat?"

The staff member's question made Yuan Jixian sigh.

"General Pinglu, who was ordered by the emperor to lead troops south to quell the invaders, now offers his services to quell the rebels. He wants to go to Nanjing to pay homage to Emperor Gao and comfort Emperor Gao's spirit in heaven. That is natural. What reason does Yuan have to stop him?"

Yuan Jixian, who was wearing a magenta official robe, couldn't help but sigh again when he finished speaking.

The right minister of the Ministry of War and the right censor of Qiandu were stationed in Jiujiang two years ago, governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing, Yingtian (Nanjing) and other military affairs. In another time and space, in the first year of Hongguang, he was captured by Zuo Menggen

He was lured into the army and put under house arrest. After Zuo Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was sacrificed to claim credit. Faced with the Qing Dynasty's persuasion to surrender, Yuan Jixian always insisted on national justice and refused to surrender, and was escorted to Beijing and imprisoned. He once wrote an inscription to encourage himself: "Well done, high official."

"If you do it, it's difficult to change it." In the second year of Longwu, he died in front of the Sanzhong Temple in the capital.

And now Yuan Jixian is still the supervisor of military affairs in several provinces, but now he is in a dilemma.

After the news came that General Pinglu wanted to go to Yingtian to worship Emperor Gao, some officials and staff in his shogunate advised him to come forward to persuade the general to return to Wuchang.

But what advice should be used?

For the sake of the world? Don’t you want the general to make a big mistake?

What big mistake?

rebel?

Will the general rebel?

"Everyone in the world thought that the general would rebel, but..."

Yuan Jixian paused and then said.

"If he wanted to rebel, why did he only bring a thousand guards instead of heavy troops? Besides, the general was in Wuchang and laid off hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops. Isn't this the way to rebel?"

The staff on the side said after hearing this.

"But Zuo Liangyu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Jixian said.

"Zuo Liangyu "took the bandits' self-respect" to harm the country and the people. He really did not bear the divine grace. The general was to eliminate bandits for the country that day, and his contribution lies in the country!"

For Yuan Jixian, who was stationed in Jiujiang, it was not that he had not seen the crimes committed by Zuo Liangyu, especially his subordinates, but he had no choice but to endure it in every possible way. After all, the court was still pointing fingers at him.

Zuo Liangyu used troops to suppress bandits. Everyone knew that Zuo Liangyu "took the bandits' self-respect", but what could be done? After all, the Ming Dynasty needed his 200,000 troops to suppress the bandits.

However, Zuo Liangyu, who "took the bandits' self-respect", never thought about suppressing the bandits. In order to persuade Zuo Liangyu to send troops to Wuchang, Yuan Jixian persuaded him many times. That is to say, when Zuo Liangyu's tone relaxed, he

The general arrived in Wuchang under a pseudonym, and then personally killed Zuo Liangyu, forcing his subordinates to surrender, and then used Zuo Liangyu's name to confuse Zhang Xianzhong, which led to the subsequent great victory.

Although the behavior of killing people and seizing soldiers made people have to be vigilant, in Yuan Jixian's heart, Zuo Liangyu did deserve to die. Although the general did not receive the order, he could just kill such a traitor, what's the big deal.

"But Dong Weng, I'm worried that when the general goes to Nanjing this time, he is actually dancing his sword in Xiangzhuang!"

Xiang Zhuang dances with sword...

Yuan Jixian frowned slightly and did not speak.

Who is Pei Gong?

Could it be that the general is really planning to capture Nanjing with a thousand troops?

Seeing that Dong Weng was silent, the staff on the side continued to persuade.

"Dong Weng, if the general seizes power in Nanjing, then..."

Without waiting for him to speak, Yuan Jixian said forcefully.

"The general would definitely not do this. Besides, he only brought three thousand soldiers and horses. How could he accomplish such a big thing with such a small number of soldiers and horses?"

Facing Dong Weng's answer, Li Mubai just sneered.

"Dong Weng, let alone a thousand soldiers and horses, even if the general enters Nanjing alone, how can anyone in Nanjing dare to disobey his military power?"

Facing Li Mubai's words, Yuan Jixian was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Nanjing is my residence capital in the Ming Dynasty, it's just my residence capital..."

Yes, Nanjing is just the capital city!

What's the point even if he went there?

The moment Yuan Jixian finished speaking, Li Mubai said.

"Now the intruders have crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi. If they capture Taiyuan, go east to Taihang to capture the capital, and Shenjing falls, Dong Weng, by then the remaining capital will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the general..."

Although Li Mubai did not continue speaking, Yuan Jixian didn't know what he wanted to say. By then the general would most likely ascend to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Until then……

"What will happen then?"

Li Mubai lowered his voice and said.

"If the general seizes the throne with the distant vassal, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall into chaos. After all, the near vassal is still there, or even the prince is still alive. If the general seizes the throne, there will definitely be people in the local area who support the near vassal.

When the vassal state ascends to the throne, I am afraid that the country will not be able to survive!"

Faced with Li Mubai's worries, Yuan Jixian was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"You just said that no one in Nanjing dares to disobey its military power. In fact..."

Looking towards the river, Yuan Jixian sighed.

"There is no one in the world who dares to disobey his military power!"

Dong Weng's words made Li Mubai's heart tremble suddenly, and he immediately thought of the sentence "The emperor should be the one who has strong soldiers and horses."

In today's world, who is the most powerful man?

In Liaodong, he had hundreds of thousands of troops occupying Liaodong, and in Huguang he had hundreds of thousands of troops occupying Wuchang. All officials in Huguang surrendered to his reputation, even Dong Weng... Why didn't Dong Weng lead Jiangxi?

Bing stopped him. To put it bluntly, it was because he was afraid of his reputation.
