Zhang Ying has returned to Kaifeng and promptly reported to him the situation on the battlefield in Kaifeng. With her aloof status, no one dares to stop her wherever she goes.
In fact, all forces must maintain the utmost respect for her...
By the way, the families of the King of Liao and others are all in the hands of Yang Feng!
Therefore, the information she needs is first-hand.
Reported directly to the King of Liao.
Huang Yue finally withstood the torture...
Of course, he was cooked.
Lan Yu directly used his flesh as the starting point for raising troops to suppress the Jing Dynasty. He took the blood of the generals outside Kaifeng City as an alliance, and led an army of 200,000 people south to Jing Dynasty on the grounds that King Guangze, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng were regicides.
Difficult. At the same time, he sent his son to Kaifeng to tell Zhu Di and the kings about this, and told Zhu Di clearly in front of the kings that because His Majesty has no children, King Guangze committed regicide and his brothers, including the Queen Mother, were involved.
Therefore, he is not qualified to inherit the throne.
The throne can only be chosen from among the kings.
King Yan is the longest among the kings and is most like Emperor Daxing, so he invites King Yan to go south and ascend the throne.
but……
"What's the meaning?"
Sister Liu asked doubtfully.
"He is instigating the kings and wants them to abandon Zhu Di."
Yang Feng said.
Indeed, Lan Yu actually has no good intentions.
The kings definitely didn't want Zhu Di to succeed to the throne, so Zhu Yunwen was their choice. At this time, Lan Yu pretended to support Zhu Di, which was to force the kings to collude with Zhu Yunwen and then deal with Zhu Di together.
This way he doesn't have to worry about his back. After all, when he goes south to the capital, what he fears most is his back.
Looking at it this way, the real purpose of Sapphire is not simple.
It’s not enough to want to be an emperor.
But I still want to be Cao Cao.
He had the most powerful field legion. Cao Xing and Cao Zhen in the upper reaches were his allies. He led 200,000 mourning troops. In the name of revenge for Zhu Yunxi, he went directly south to the capital, and then also used the child in the queen's belly as the future emperor.
.As for whether the child is a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter. As long as he really controls the capital, even if the queen gives birth to a daughter, she can still change it to a son, and then say that she gave birth to a son.
Anyway, we have control of the capital.
Whatever he says is what he says.
The little princess couldn't think of this because she belonged to Lao Zhu's family after all, and it was impossible for her to get a baby boy from outside and say it was her nephew's son.
But Sapphire doesn't matter.
All he needs is the legal heir to the throne.
Then he took over all the power.
He is now in his fifties, and it will take more than ten years for the queen to take charge after giving birth to a son. It can be said that during these ten years, he has been the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty. Whether his descendants are willing to usurp the throne or not has nothing to do with him.
, anyway, he would be over seventy by then, and he probably knew that he would not survive until then.
How many people who have been fighting for a lifetime can reach their seventies?
In short, he can monopolize power until his death.
As for his subordinates, it was easy to appease him. The soldiers did not know that the queen was pregnant, but he did. When he arrived in the capital, he said that he was surprised to learn that His Majesty the Emperor actually had a posthumous son. This was simply the blessing of Emperor Daxing’s spirit in heaven! Of course the Emperor would have offspring.
There is no need to look for King Yan to succeed him, but he has already instigated the kings to collude with Zhu Yunzhen, and they will definitely attack Zhu Di.
He reaps the benefits.
As long as Zhu Di is killed by his brothers and nephew, he will be able to sit back and relax.
As for Yang Feng...
Why, isn't he guarding His Majesty the Emperor?
"The little princess also said that Li Jinglong jumped out and behaved very abnormally."
Sister Liu said.
"He should be Zhu Di's inner ghost. He wants to introduce Zhu Yunwen into the capital, and then let Lan Yu fight with Zhu Yunwen. It is best to let Lan Yu break through the capital and kill Zhu Yunwen's brothers. Then the throne can only belong to Zhu Di.
.
This guy is hiding very deep!"
Yang Feng sneered.
He does not think that Li Jinglong is an incompetent person who talks on paper.
This guy is very cunning.
Maybe he would have colluded with Zhu Di a long time ago.
But he did not expect to be destroyed by the little princess, but he was not a complete failure, because Lan Yu could not reach the capital before Zhu Yunwen, and the latter could not enter the capital when he arrived. In the end, a battle was inevitable. And Lan Yu's 200,000 troops went south.
, just cooperate with the inside and outside of the city, and directly defeat Zhu Yunwen outside the capital. However, if Lan Yu enters the capital, the capital will still be under his control. After all, his 200,000 field troops are invincible wherever they are placed, unless
Ambassador Yang took action personally.
"You tell the little princess that if the blue jade army comes to the capital, you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Just leave the capital to him."
Yang Feng said.
It seems good to let Lan Yu enter the capital and then kill the civil servants.
After all, these guys really need to be cleaned.
This kind of thing requires a more violent and murderous person, so Lan Yu is undoubtedly the most suitable. Anyway, in the end, Lan Yu will have to be with Zhu Yuanzhang. Now let him be a tool. As for Zhu Di, it depends
It's up to him.
Anyway, all of this was done behind his back, and of course he has to take responsibility for what he caused.
"Ambassador, Prince Yan is here!"
Yang Wen came over and said.
Yang Feng looked at the city gate of Juyongguan, where Zhu Gaochi, dressed in the royal prince's uniform, stood there like a naive panda.
"My nephew has met his uncle!"
He bowed and said.
"Well, we haven't gotten married yet, so it's not appropriate to call me uncle in front of outsiders."
Yang Feng said.
Then he dismounted and helped his nephew.
However, Zhu Gaochi must not know that major changes have taken place in the south. His father's intelligence to the north is blocked by Zhou Dexing. It is impossible to send it in time through the inn. He can only have people ride horses to pass through Zhou Dexing's defense zone as a business traveler, so let alone Lan Yu's army.
If Jing is in trouble, even if the emperor is killed, he may not even know about it here.
"Uncle, my nephew is here to report something important to my uncle."
Zhu Gaochi said with a serious face.
"What's the matter?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment and asked.
Zhu Gaochi looked at him and then at Yang Wen.
"Ambassador, Marquis of Rinan, and Master Daoyan, the presiding officer of Qingshou Temple in Beiping, returned to Suzhou by sea to report the rebellion. Prince Guangze, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others conspired to kill His Majesty in Fengqiao, Suzhou."
he said.
Yang Wen instantly grabbed his clothes...
"This is serious!"
He shouted rudely.
"Marquis Rinan, this was witnessed by Master Daoyan. He traveled thousands of miles north to report the rebellion, so he shouldn't have risked his own life to make this joke. Also, Marquis Rinan, your move is very rude. Although Gao Chi is a junior,
, but after all, he is the Crown Prince of Yan."
Zhu Gaochi said calmly.
Yang Wen let go of his hand in shock, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Feng...
"Ambassador, are you aware of this?"
he asked.
He is not stupid, Yang Feng has been in contact with the thing in his hand during this period.
"Not only did I know that Your Majesty was killed by Fang Xiaoru, but I also knew that Wu Shou'an and other accompanying officials had supported Zhu Yunwen to supervise the country. The princess had imprisoned six ministers and the king of Shu in the capital, and then supported the queen to supervise the country. The queen was already five months pregnant.
, so His Majesty the Emperor is not without an heir. It is estimated that Zhu Yunwen was already attacking the capital at this time, and Lan Yu had already raised troops from Kaifeng to return to Jingnan, and announced that he would support King Yan on the throne. My dear nephew, you probably don’t know this news, right?
?”
Yang Feng smiled and said to Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi's expression changed.
"Go back and tell Yao Guangxiao. He probably didn't expect that the princess, a young girl, could make all the soldiers and civilians in the capital obey orders with just one order, right?
Still want to show off his success to me?
I guess the kings in Kaifeng City are already attacking King Yan at this time, right?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Yao Guangxiao couldn't wait to show off to him. After all, he had been shrouded in his shadow for too long. He was like a child who finally got a perfect score and couldn't wait to wave his test paper proudly in front of his classmate who always ranked first.
Then Yang Feng tore it up for him.
He should have rushed to the coast immediately after the emperor's death and boarded Yang Qing's schooner. Taking advantage of the south wind, he went straight to Dagukou. These schooners were quicker to go from Taicang to Dagukou than at the inn.
Quickly, and then use this news to coax Yang Feng to choose to side with Zhu Di in advance. This is very reasonable. After all, Yang Feng and Zhu Di have a good relationship. The emperor is dead and there is no heir. Zhu Yunwen is the murderer. Of course, it is impossible to inherit the throne. The same is true for the other two.
His mother, a compatriot, cannot inherit the throne, and there is no other choice except King Yan. Once Yang Feng sides with King Yan, other forces will have no ability to resist. What is left is that Zhu Yunwen comes to Beijing to usurp the throne, and then Yang Feng and Yan
Wang Dajun defeated Jingnan and went to Beijing to capture him to avenge the emperor.
but……
He doesn’t know the follow-up development!
He didn't know that Zhu Yunwen failed to enter the capital, nor did he know that the queen was five months pregnant, nor did he know that Lan Yu had launched an army to quell the situation, nor did he know that Lan Yu had tricked Zhu Di before leaving.
A very deadly one.
"Yang Feng and Zhang Ying reported that the kings of Qin, Jin, Zhou and others raided the king of Yan and obeyed the order of the king of Wu, causing civil strife in Kaifeng."
At this time, Sister Liu's voice sounded from Yang Feng's watch.
"Ah, nephew, this is very embarrassing."
Yang Feng raised his hand, shook it at Zhu Gaochi and said.
And at this time.
Shence Gate in Beijing.
"Damn, this is a Japanese slave. Fire the cannon. I like to kill Japanese slaves."
Guard general Wang Gui looked at the enemy troops swarming outside.
The army of King Wu, who was overseeing the country, arrived.
Of course, it was definitely not the Shenji Battalion. Although the generals and accompanying officials supported Zhu Yunwen, the Shenji Battalion, Jin Yiwei, and bodyguards on the Suzhou front line did not resist. After all, they had no motivation to resist. They were just ordinary military households.
, although they are loyal to the Zhu family emperor, it does not matter to them who the Zhu family emperor is. In the end, everyone is just a fool. Is it necessary to risk their lives fighting for power among the boss brothers?
The emperor had no heir, so he had to be succeeded by King Guangze no matter what.
Even if King Guangze’s methods are disgraceful...
Everyone is not a fool and can guess what is going on.
But no matter what means he uses, whether he is glorious or not, the current fact is that he is the most qualified to inherit the throne. In this case, there is no need for everyone to worry too much. After all, it is not all the family affairs of their old Zhu family?
But Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to trust them. The situation in the capital was complicated and he had to be truly trusted.
His guard.
In other words, Suzhou team training.
He has adapted all the Suzhou regiment training into his King Wu's bodyguards.
So the King of Wu, who was in charge of the country, left the troops of the Shenji Battalion in Suzhou temporarily, and then he, surrounded by the accompanying officials, took 20,000 King Wu guards, mainly Japanese slaves, to protect His Majesty the Emperor Zi Palace, and began
On his journey to the capital, he only got the news halfway that the capital was controlled by the little princess, and that the queen had taken charge of the country with the prince in her belly.
There is no other way.
I can only fight.
"How do they believe that a group of Japanese slaves can open the capital?"
Wang Gui said somewhat puzzledly.
The swarming Japanese slaves, each with short legs, howled and crashed into the city wall like a group of teddy bears crashing into a container truck. They suddenly changed from slaves selling piglets to the guards of the King of Wu.
They were in extreme excitement all the time. As long as they could open the city gate for King Wu, they would live and thrive in this prosperous land for generations to come, and as warriors, they already considered themselves King of Wu.
However, they were soon blocked by the wide moat and could only rush towards the bridge in the middle. Holding shields and ladders, they quickly crowded into a dense mass of heads.
"put!"
Wang Gui shouted without hesitation.
Eight cannons on his left and right immediately aimed at the bridge and fired cannonballs.
This is a heavy artillery piece.
Ten kilograms of shotshells were stuffed inside. Because they were small three-cent bullets, there were hundreds of bullets in one cannon and thousands in eight cannons. It could be said to be a violent rain of lead. The bridge was densely packed with people.
The Japanese slaves on the mountain were instantly turned into densely piled corpses, as if they were slapped down by the giant hand of the gods.
The injured were suppressed below and screamed, while others crawled outward and fell into the moat.
The Japanese slaves who were still moving forward looked at this horrific scene in shock.
Then there was dense gunfire.
A magical cannon stretched out from the city wall, spraying flames at them.
Then more Japanese slaves fell.
"Attack quickly, open the Shence Gate, and welcome King Wu to the throne!"
Behind them, a Confucian scholar in a green shirt supervising the battle raised his sword and shouted.
At this time, the heavy cannons on the city wall had been loaded as quickly as possible, but because they needed to shoot farther, they were replaced with five-cent shotgun shells. Each cannon was loaded with three hundred and twenty pieces, followed by the spray of muzzle flames.
The Japanese slaves fell in pieces again. This time their fighting spirit finally collapsed. All the living Japanese slaves ran backwards like crazy. The Confucian scholar waved his sword to stop them and kept slashing at the defeated soldiers beside him.
But suddenly the horse stood up suddenly, not knowing whether it was hit by a stray bullet or simply frightened.
He was immediately thrown off his horse.
Then the fleeing Japanese slaves ignored him and stepped over him.
"Damn it, are you here to make us happy?"
Wang Gui looked at this scene and smiled.
The guardsmen and armed workers guarding the city on both sides of him were all smiling.
At the same time, smoke from cannon fire rose from the Jinchuan Gate not far from them. It was obvious that the battle there had also begun. Less than ten years after its completion, the city wall of the capital faced the flames of war, and this city known for war
For this purpose, the city has also begun to enter a state of war.
