Indeed, the best choice for Yang Feng now is to sit back and watch them make trouble.
As for fighting...
Nothing.
Just control the scale.
After all, he has no interest in maintaining the current Ming Dynasty. What's more, all the hidden forces from all sides have jumped out, so that they can be wiped out in one final sweep. In fact, it is difficult to break out a large-scale war. At least for now, Zhu Yunxi's advantage can still be said to be
Overwhelming.
Sixth Army Shenji Battalion.
In total, there are nearly 100,000 new-style troops.
This alone gave him an absolute advantage over the feudal lord and the local armed forces.
Not to mention veterans such as Lan Yu.
There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, and the vast majority of the military households in the world still only recognize the emperor. Even Zhu Di, the strongest among the vassal kings, can only mobilize tens of thousands of direct descendants.
Unless he brings the chaotic forces in the Western Regions and Mobei, the latter can actually assemble a hundred thousand cavalry for him, but in that case Yang Feng will take action. With Yang Feng's pressure in the hearts of these guys, he can make these guys go away with just one word.
Switch sides. With Zhu Di's mind, at least he would not dare to do this without his permission, not to mention that he dared to spare the ministries in the Western Regions. Then Timur would just show his loyalty to the Ming Emperor. The latter would not miss this
To regain the lost ground and eliminate the threat of Zhu Di in one fell swoop. In that case, Zhu Di would not even have an escape route if he failed. This possibility can be said to be very small.
Needless to say about other feudal lords.
Not as good as him!
It can be said that King Jin's strength has dropped sharply since he moved to the feudal vassal, and the most populous people in his fiefdom are now Yang Feng's employees.
King Zhou's bodyguards have not yet been assembled.
He has three guards, one is chosen from the original three guards, and the other is the original Xining guard. The third one needs to be recruited separately, but Zhu Yunxi has been procrastinating and has not gotten it together yet.
This is normal.
More than five thousand households!
Who is willing to run to Huangzhong unless forced to do so?
King Chu's three guards were gathered together.
He also selected a guard from the original guard to follow him to Jiaozhou, and then formed two more for him. One of them was an adaptation of Zheng Annan, and the other was put together in Huguang. This was quite fast, after all, Jiaozhou is not a place like Huangzhong and Shuofang.
Comparable.
As long as it is a rice-producing area, there is no need to worry about public dissatisfaction.
Other feudal lords have three guards, some have not yet reached the third guard, and some have tense relations with the local government.
For example, King Min.
At this time, his fiefdom was in Yunnan.
And it's in Kunming, but the Mu family is also the world's largest town in Yunnan. The Mu family certainly doesn't like another vassal king serving as the ancestor, so the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly in the past few years. When Zhu Yuanzhang was here, of course they supported him. But now Zhu Yuanzhang is dead.
, Zhu Yunxi may not support him. The relationship between the Mu family and Zhu Biao is very close. Mu Ying died of sorrow and illness immediately after Zhu Biao's death. And Zhu Yunxi was originally going to kill the vassal king, so at this time Mu Sheng
He was unhappy and happy to stab him. Historically, he was forced out of Yunnan by Mu Sheng. All his guards were abolished. He lived in the capital all year round as a vassal king with about a hundred officials and entourage.
It wasn't until Zhu Gaochi came to the throne that he was sent to Wugang, but without a palace, he could only live in the state government office. In the sixth year of Xuande, the state government office collapsed and he had to be renovated and built into a palace for him.
As for now...
If he dared to talk about soldiers, Mu Sheng could tie him up with just one sentence.
His three bodyguards were all adapted from the Yunnan Guards. They had been with the Mu family for more than twenty years, and there was no one who talked about him there.
Therefore, these vassal kings are in trouble. If they really want to start a rebellion, except Zhu Di, no one has the courage and ability. Now they are gathering together to strengthen their courage. In addition, they probably want to make Zhu Di take the lead. As for the gentry, this is even less necessary.
He said that these guys do have the guts to make secrets and conspiracies, but they really don’t have the guts to raise an army to rebel.
Unless Zhu Di raises his troops first.
Only when Zhu Di raised his troops first and the vassal kings from all over the country followed, did these guys dare to take action.
So the key is still Zhu Di.
But Zhu Di...
"The King of Xiang committed suicide."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng received news that clearly escalated the situation.
"Just like in history, I lit the fire myself.
Zhu Yunwen ran away from him.
Of course, he reported to Zhu Yunxi that Zhu Yunxi had escaped from him. Whether he really escaped or was sent away by him is hard to say. Anyway, he reported this to Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Yunxi thought that he was actually playing tricks on himself before, and issued an order to reprimand and punish him.
He wanted Song Zhong to take him to the capital. King Xiang thought that he could not be humiliated by a villain, so he lit a fire in the palace and then rode into the fire himself.
The little princess is really anxious now. She wants you to go back and look at Zhu Di quickly.
Now Zhu Di is rushing to Kaifeng.
And all the northern kings will gather in Kaifeng next.
I suspect Zhu Yunwen went to Kaifeng."
Sister Liu said.
It can be seen that she is also very excited.
After all, the development of this situation made her feel a little...
She just plays games.
The big BOSS is about to appear!
"Don't go!"
Yang Feng said.
"She said that if you don't go back, she will publish the news about you in Huining in the newspapers."
Sister Liu said with a smile.
"Tell her to be honest and obedient, or I will go back and whip her. This must have been intentional by King Xiang. He just wanted to force Zhu Di to raise an army. Anyway, he is childless and he is also practicing Taoism. Maybe he has some random thoughts in his mind."
What. Among his brothers, Zhu Di is now regarded as his closest relative. If Zhu Di is not the emperor, he has no meaning in living. He deliberately provoked Zhu Yunxi and was besieged in the palace just to create opportunities for Zhu Di. As long as Zhu Di is angered by Zhu Yunxi,
It was a good opportunity to reach an agreement with the vassal kings, and then join forces with the northern vassal kings to seize the throne.
But after waiting for so long, Zhu Di still didn't make a decision he was satisfied with, so he decided to do something cruel.
Use his death to stimulate Zhu Di.
This guy is very paranoid!"
Yang Feng said with emotion.
So the situation was similar in history.
In the original history, the death of King Xiang made Zhu Di really make up his mind. In fact, in the original history, Zhu Yunwen did not want to force him to death. He also sent people to try to capture him and bring him to Beijing, and then the guy simply committed suicide.
There was no need for him to commit suicide.
Before that, the first person Zhu Yunwen dealt with was the King of Zhou. Li Jinglong led an army to raid Kaifeng, surrounded Kaifeng and captured the King of Zhou and his family and moved them to Yunnan. The second one was King Dai, who forced him to go to Chengdu to learn how to be an honest man from the King of Shu.
The third King of Qi, his subordinates reported or asked his subordinates to report, and then ordered him to enter the court but promised not to punish him, but he would be imprisoned after arriving in the capital. The fourth King Min, partnered with the Mu family, and the Mu family prosecuted him for various crimes.
Then all the guards were eliminated. However, during this period, preparations were made to capture Zhu Di. This was one of the plans from the time he captured the King of Zhou, but Zhu Di endured it until Zhu Bai committed suicide. Two months later, Zhu Di launched an army.
Even if Zhu Bai didn't commit suicide, he would be caught and deposed as a commoner in the capital.
But he committed suicide.
He also committed suicide in a very tragic way.
I really can't rule out that he was just trying to stimulate Zhu Di to make the latter decide to start an army. After all, he really didn't need to commit suicide. In his mind, he probably had no descendants anyway. His closest relatives were only his father and Zhu Di. His father had just died, and Zhu Di wanted to go.
The Western Regions can be said to be far apart from now on.
There is no point in living like this.
Just make a big one.
"It's really not good for this person to be too deep-minded. Why not learn from his seventh brother?
Only by being simple-minded can you live longer.”
Yang Feng said with emotion.
"His seventh brother? King Qi, it is indeed simple-minded to be beaten into a fool by you."
Sister Liu said with disdain.
It can be said that Qi Fan is indeed the most calm now.
After all, King Qi is a fool, and even Zhu Yunxi knows that it would be a shame for him to attack his seventh uncle again. However, Princess Qi's idea is to return to Beijing to work as an apartment house, and she is willing to take the lead, but she wants Zhu Yunxi to increase her family's salary.
Anyway, even if they go to Beijing to work as an apartment, the land they have been granted will not be taken back, the palace will still be retained, and the business will still be theirs. At least the first and second generation of this apartment will still be able to live a good life.
The important thing will be several generations later.
There's no need to think that far ahead.
Of course, Yang Feng will definitely not go back, at least not now.
But he did have to make preparations.
Huining City.
"Ambassador Yang, how did you get here?"
Huining Commander Lu Zhen looked at the sudden appearance of Yang Feng with a surprised look on his face.
"I was coaxed by your Emperor Dahang and ran all the hard work to Luzon. As a result, Ma He had already returned to China, so I was too lazy to go back to the capital. I went to the Japanese country for a tour and then came via Chongjin. Unexpectedly, I just landed there.
I heard that your Emperor Daxing passed away."
Yang Feng said with a pure face.
Lu Zhen was embarrassed. We are all smart people. Last time Emperor Daxing deceived him into the sea and wanted to blow him up. This time he deceived him into the sea again. He probably had the same idea. But Yang Feng would definitely not say it clearly.
After all, Emperor Daxing had just passed away, so it was hard for him to talk about a dead person, and now that Emperor Daxing had passed away, he had nowhere to find trouble. He was probably in a bad mood, so he came here to relax. After all, Huining is almost in his territory now.
Same.
real.
Although Lu Zhen was the commander of Huining, he relied on Yang Feng to supply all military supplies.
All food is transported by Yang Feng.
Although in exchange, Yang Feng has the right to collect taxes and develop in Huining, in fact everyone knows very well that there is no place to collect taxes in this place. It is just asking the tribes to hand over some animal skins and medicinal materials, but they cannot collect them anyway.
Get your money back.
As for reclaiming wasteland and farming...
That one, at least for now, is still losing money.
"Ambassador, since you are just staying here for the first half of the year, there are a lot of things going on in the court right now, and you might get involved when you go back."
he said.
He is actually Zhu Di's old subordinate.
He was the former commander of King Yan's guard, and participated in the initial crusade in Huining with Zhang Yu and others. After Zhuang De's Western Expedition, he was transferred out of King Yan's guard and came to replace Zhuang De.
"What happened again?"
Yang Feng said.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment.
"Now that you are eating and drinking from me, what else can't you tell me?"
Yang Feng glared and shouted.
"Uh, Ambassador, the general has just received a report from the capital. King Guangze fled and was protected by King Xiang in the palace. His Majesty sent guards in royal robes to surround the palace. King Yan and other kings are all reporting, asking your Majesty to confer a title on King Guangze.
Fan, your majesty Yiming and King Guangze are brothers and respectful. The ambassador and your majesty are both teachers and friends, and they live and die together with King Yan. If the ambassador goes back at this time, he will definitely be in a dilemma. Why go back? Why not go back here?
It’s so nice to be free and at ease.”
Lu Zhen said.
He was really heartbroken.
After all, just like what Yang Feng said, he now eats Yang Feng's and drinks Yang Feng's. Not only him, but also the entire Huining Dusi's four guards and eight guarding Qianhu Stations all eat Yang Feng's and drink Yang Feng's.
Ambassador Yang not only had to lose money, but also ensure that the brothers had food and clothing, and even if he made money, the brothers were indispensable.
Ambassador Yang is really loyal.
"You, King Yan, still want to be the emperor?"
Yang Feng said.
Lu Zhen was embarrassed.
"Ambassador, I just don't want this day to come, so I asked myself to be transferred to the Yanshan Guards. I am an official of the Ming Emperor, and I cannot rebel against the Ming Emperor. Your Majesty is appointed by the Daxing Emperor. Even though the Yan King has great talents and great strategies, he will not be able to rebel against the Ming Emperor."
You can’t conspire to cause rebellion.”
he said.
Yang Feng suddenly remembered who he was.
Before Zhu Di launched his army, he served as an internal correspondent for Zhang Bing and others, preparing to take down Zhu Di's Yanshan guard command.
"Okay, you're right. It's their uncle and nephew's business. Let's take a look. In fact, I am also opposed to him grabbing the throne. I led him to the Western Regions just to make him give up this matter. There are many in the Western Regions.
Why do you have to rob your nephew of a good place? What do the generals in Liaodong think? What do King Liao, King Han, and King Ning think?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Liaodong is now presided over by Marquis Rinan. He is loyal to His Majesty. The King of Han is young and wanted to leave Liaodong just after he became a vassal. You also know that he opened the original fiefdom. In that place, he was the only one living in the capital. Indeed,
It’s unbearable. It’s hard for King Liao to say what he’s thinking these years, but he doesn’t covet the throne. But based on the wishes of the Liaodong capital, I’m afraid he does. I don’t know where King Ning is, but he probably doesn’t want to stay.
Daning, that place is similar to Kaiyuan."
Lu Zhen said.
"So, King Yan will promise to move them to the border or even to the south?"
Yang Feng said.
At the same time, he looked at Lu Zhen seriously.
Lu Zhen was a guard at Yanshan before, so he and Zhang Yu are on the same level.
He knew a lot of Zhu Di's secrets.
"Well, I don't know anything else about the last general, but when King Yan met with King Ning, King Yan did say that King Ning's fiefdom was too bitter. Now that all the Mongolian tribes have surrendered, why bother guarding Daning with a vassal king."
Lu Zhen said cautiously.
"Gather your subordinates and ask them to come to Huining for a peace meeting. Although we will not interfere with the affairs between their uncles and nephews, they are still making trouble. If someone really wants to rebel, we still can't sit idly by and watch. Your emperor, Daxing, still can't
No burial yet!"
Yang Feng said.
Lu Zhen nodded.
"Are you going to send someone to invite Marquis Rinan?"
He said immediately.
The Marquis of Rinan was Yang Wen. He was granted the title of Marquis of Rinan for his contribution to Ping'an South. The naval force he led actually went south to Champa. At this time, there was actually the Champa State. The latter was still very strong before and once captured it.
Sheng Long, this time even sent troops at the same time to grab a piece of land from Annan, but Yang Wen's navy deliberately pretended to have mistaken people, mistook them for Hu Ji Ya's subordinates, beat them up, and then bombarded the city.
Of course, it was just the wrong place.
However, the effect was obvious, and Champa was so frightened that he quickly apologized.
