Chapter 299 The wife sings and her husband follows her
However, Zhu Yunwen still could not open the capital.
In fact, he couldn't even fight.
He only has 20,000 guards, and it is impossible for him to transfer the Shenji Battalion from Suzhou...
The latter immediately defected.
He was also unable to mobilize the military households in the guard posts outside the capital.
Sapphire is heading south!
By the way, do the surrounding guards and military households listen to him or Lan Yu?
At this time, the drawback of his base being a literati emerged. Although almost all civil servants and gentry from all over the country supported him, it seemed from the situation that several provinces, including Zhili, had all pledged their allegiance to him as the supervisory state. But the people in these places
Soldiers, he really can't move. The reason why the generals of the guard station are under the supervision of the national edict is because the situation is unclear. They take it first and then talk about it. If the situation goes wrong, they are ready to change camps at any time. Although local officials and gentry want to help him, it is useless. Local civil servants
Since the army cannot be mobilized, although team training can be organized, shouting slogans is fine. In terms of actually paying for it, it would be great if one out of ten shouting slogans actually pays for it.
How can he fight without soldiers?
It would even be enough for the defenders of the capital to counterattack and kill him.
It's just that his aunt is not interested in this. Anyway, Lan Yu will arrive soon.
Poor Zhu Yunwen was unable to advance or retreat outside the capital and persisted for seven days. In total, he received less than 10,000 loyalists from King Qin. These loyalists basically had no armor, and their weapons were limited to bows, arrows, swords and guns. When they arrived in the capital, they heard that Princess Hanshan was commanding the soldiers and civilians to resist the king's division.
, I ran half of it immediately that night.
Those who arrived so quickly were only those around the capital.
Taiping Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, plus the counties under Yingtian Prefecture.
Let them fight Princess Hanshan?
Are you kidding me?
Do you still want to buy this year’s dung pill?
Because it was used the earliest around the capital, it can be said to be basically popular. Using this thing increased production by more than 30%. In addition to the Confucian scholars who were arrogant and disdained to use it at first, now they are actually starting to use it shyly.
After all, a 30% increase is really great.
The poor prisoner is facing the predicament without tears.
However……
Seven days later.
He was saved from despair.
Zhou Dexing and Geng Bingwen followed the imperial edict and returned to Kaifeng with 100,000 troops from the northern front. They met with the kings who were pursuing Lan Yu and the vanguard quickly approached the Huaihe River.
On the same day, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was in Xi'an to accept the imperial edict to relieve the siege of the Qin Palace, and then led the troops in Xi'an to march eastward.
On the same day, Cao Zhen obeyed the imperial edict under the city of Wuchang and welcomed the King of Chu out of the city. Following the king of Chu, he joined all the armies upstream and went east. Cao Xing refused to obey the imperial edict and was kidnapped by his subordinates and sent to the King of Chu, who then imprisoned him in Wuchang.
The 50,000-strong army marched straight down the river to the capital. Lan Yu, who had already arrived at Qingliu Pass in the vanguard, faced Zhou Dexing and Geng Bingwen who were heading south behind him, and Qu Neng, who had landed in Hezhou in front, had to switch to defense.
And he himself returned to Fengyang.
The situation has reversed again.
night.
Royal Palace.
"These old guys really deserve to be killed by daddy!"
The little princess said angrily.
She knew the real history. Before, she thought it was not good for her father to kill so many people, but now she suddenly discovered that her father had good intentions in killing these heroes. These guys should have died long ago in history.
, now the situation in Ming Dynasty is really slipping out of control...
Although the root cause is the internal fighting among the Zhu family for the throne.
But now it's clear these guys don't want this fight to end.
They want to continue the war.
And then seek maximum benefits from it.
"This generation all started from humble beginnings with Emperor Daxing. Although they did conquer the East and West for Emperor Daxing, in the end they were only loyal to Emperor Daxing and could not have any respect for his descendants."
The queen said cautiously.
"You might as well just say it straight, my father is a beggar and his descendants are not worthy of living in the world for generations to come.
Yang Feng often says this."
The little princess rolled her eyes and said.
But she was used to it, after all, Yang Feng often said this.
"This damn ghost, he's living happily outside!"
Then she said.
"Princess, if you say this to me, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Then Yang Feng's voice sounded outside.
The little princess was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Feng who opened the door, immediately cheered, and then pounced directly on him, like an octopus, and instantly coiled around him. The queen behind quickly turned around to pretend to be something else.
Neither of them saw it, and Zhang Ying and Chun Ji came in immediately behind Yang Feng. At this time, the little princess had temporarily moved into the palace. After all, the most important thing now was the child in the queen's belly, and Chun Ji was in charge of the outside affairs. In fact,
Nothing happened. Zhu Yunwen still had no ability to attack the city. Although he had begun to bring in artillery, the troops were insufficient and Cao Zhen and others refused to attack the capital.
They indeed obey the imperial edict.
But they didn't really take Zhu Yunwen seriously.
Regardless of the vassal kings or Cao Zhen and others, in the final analysis they did not really support Zhu Yunwen, they just did not support Lan Yu.
They can accept Zhu Di as the emperor, and they can accept Zhu Yunwen as the emperor. Regardless of whether they are nobles with foreign surnames or vassal kings, their status is there. Whoever becomes the emperor of the Zhu family, they are all loyal ministers of the Zhu family.
But under the current circumstances, it's hard to say what Lan Yu's surname will be after she enters Beijing.
Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!
Lan Yu controls the queen, and the queen may not be the prince she gave birth to. Then a baby will succeed to the throne, and Lan Yu will have all the power. Even if Lan Yu dies after more than ten years, he can indeed be Cao Cao for the rest of his life, but he
My son still wants to be Cao Pi! Moreover, after Lan Yu comes to Beijing and takes over the power, he will definitely clean up the vassals on various charges. Anyway, now that the charges are brought, they will be said to be treason, and all the vassals who are in charge of the imperial edict will be dealt with.
.
The feudal princes will be in trouble.
Just like Yang Jian cleaned up the Yuwen family clan.
More than ten years of planning.
enough.
This is what powerful officials have done since ancient times.
So they just made sure Lan Yu couldn't enter Beijing.
But if they are to be used as Zhu Yunwen's thugs to attack the capital, then they should save their money. When Zhu Yunwen hits his head on the wall of the capital and bleeds, begging them and promising them various benefits, they will take action.
Help Zhu Yunwen open the capital now?
Are they cheap?
As for the reason...
Of course, we can’t disturb the Daxing Emperor Zi Palace!
We are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and are all old brothers who follow Emperor Daxing. His Zi Palace is still in the ice cellar of the palace. How can they attack the capital under such circumstances? If the cannonball falls on the palace, how will they face Daxing?
emperor.
Anyway, this won't work.
So they just blocked Lan Yu on the north bank for Zhu Yunwen.
As for things like siege...
It’s better for the supervisor to find a solution on his own!
Poor Zhu Yunwen had to continue to think of a solution on his own.
And he still had to support these guys. After all, he would be completely destroyed once they withdrew. In this case, he and the Jiangnan gentry had to do their best to collect money and food to ensure that Cao Zhen and others were satisfied. At the same time, they also had to find a way to piece together the means to attack the capital.
The army, especially cannons and muskets, must be built, and ammunition must be prepared.
Anyway...
Pay for it!
In fact, it is a warlord mentality.
They need troubled times, and they need to push the Ming Dynasty back into troubled times.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Only in this way can they, a group of military generals with heavy troops, complete the carving up of the Zhu family's country and transform from mere military generals into dominating warlords. Therefore, they need the core area of the Zhu family's country to be in chaos. Just like
Those vassal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty were constantly at war with the emperor. They were still ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but this did not prevent them from causing chaos in the Tang Dynasty. How could they dominate one side without chaos? How could a unified emperor allow them to dominate?
One party?
"The ambassador has returned, but has a solution to the chaos?"
The queen looked at Yang Feng who had taken off the little princess, and said with a very graceful posture.
Yang Feng then stepped forward to salute.
He came in a hurry just because he realized that the situation was about to get out of hand.
Lan Yu was actually tricked by Zhu Di.
If Zhu Di had gone south to join him directly after leaving Kaifeng, this situation would not have happened. He would have joined forces with Lan Yu to enter Beijing, then Zhu Yunwen would have withdrawn to Suzhou, and then Zhu Di would have ascended the throne and commanded various places as emperor, and they would have cooperated to suppress it.
, Xu Huizu, Zhou Dexing, Cao Zhen and others will all be honest. But this way he will be controlled by Lan Yu. After all, there are less than three thousand guards around him, and even Lan Yu may not find an opportunity to kill him, so he chooses
Beishang made it clear that he and Lan Yu were not in the same group, so Lan Yu became the target of public criticism.
Two old foxes.
They only thought about cheating each other, but ignored the consequences of doing so.
Of course, it's also possible that the two of them just don't care about the chaos.
"Queen, it's very simple, it's time for you to bury Emperor Daxing.
Zi Palace has not been buried for a long time, and the body of the Daxing Emperor cannot hold up. Now that summer is coming, if it rots, wouldn't all the descendants be unfilial, so they must be buried immediately. Then you ask all the kings to come to the capital for the burial.
King Yan is currently in Shandong and will not take long to reach the capital, and King Zhou and others are in Luoyang and can arrive soon."
Yang Feng said.
"They won't listen."
said the little princess.
"So, I need you to deliver the message."
Yang Feng said.
The little princess was stunned for a moment and looked at him in confusion.
"I will go with you. As a middleman, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to them. Even after the burial, I can guarantee that they will go back to their respective armies. If they want to continue making trouble, I will not interfere."
Yang Feng said.
"That's fine."
said the little princess.
"One more thing, who was there when your father passed away?"
Yang Feng said.
"Yunxi, me, and the five kings in Beijing."
said the little princess.
"I need a testament. As for the content of the testament, it is very simple. Your father thinks that all the old brothers have shared joys and sorrows and have deep feelings, so he wants to go to heaven with them and asks them to follow him."
Yang Feng said.
"One, let's go together?"
The queen said in astonishment.
Yang Feng smiled and wiped his neck.
"Queen, I have forced the veteran Chen Heng to commit suicide in Daning to follow Emperor Daxing. Now it's time for the other veterans. All the veterans who followed Emperor Daxing to conquer the world, those who are considered the first generation, all follow Emperor Daxing. Zhou Dexing, Lan
Not one of them, including Yu and Cao Zhen, was left, and they all followed Emperor Daxing, and then they were entitled to enjoy the Ancestral Temple, ensuring the wealth and glory of their descendants.
But they must follow Emperor Daxing."
he said.
"Who will listen to this?"
the little princess exclaimed.
Indeed, who would listen to this!
These old guys all have heavy troops. Lan Yu has an army of 200,000, Cao Zhen commands 150,000, and Zhou Dexing and Geng Bingwen also command nearly 150,000. For such a general to commit suicide just because of a will to follow...
And it was also a forged edict.
Any fool knows that this edict must be a forgery.
"If they don't listen, the whole family will die."
Yang Feng said.
"You won't ask me to announce the decree again, will you?"
said the little princess.
"Yes, it's up to you to declare the decree. If anyone refuses to comply with the imperial edict, then it's up to you to send them on their way for your father. If they dare to resist, then I will protect my woman, so even if I kill them on the spot, it won't be a big deal.
It’s not an interference in your Ming Dynasty’s internal affairs. They intend to harm my woman. I protect my own woman. This is a private matter. In short, they must die no matter what. It was my biggest mistake not to let your father kill them. Now it’s time to remedy this.
Wrong.
Zhou Dexing originally died seven years ago in history.
It was me who allowed him to live seven more years.
Now I don't want him to live any longer.
According to the original history, Lan Yu also died six years ago and was skinned by your father. It was my appearance that kept him alive until now. He should give up his life. Moreover, your father also killed his whole family when he killed him, but
Now his family can continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth.
The same goes for Cao Zhen.
The same goes for Cao Xing.
The same goes for Wang Bi.
They have lived a long life till now.
It’s time to end.”
Yang Feng said.
After all, the current situation is that these old guys want to push into troubled times, and then play warlord rule in troubled times. Without them, the rest will be honest, and Ming Dynasty must sacrifice them if it wants to restore stability.
"If this is possible, then please invite the five kings into the palace!"
the queen said.
"However, this edict needs an explanation after all. Why did it suddenly appear?"
said the little princess.
"Fourteenth Aunt, of course the edict has been there for a long time, but His Majesty is kind-hearted and doesn't want these old ministers to follow Emperor Daxing, so he concealed it. Now that His Majesty has been murdered, we women naturally dare not continue to conceal it."
the queen said.
Yang Feng glanced at her in surprise.
This woman also has some brains!
"Ambassador, what does the ambassador think of this throne?"
the queen said.
"Queen, I am an outsider and it is not convenient for me to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. However, the princess and I are husband and wife. This wife follows her husband. I will support whatever she wants. Of course, I am an outsider and it is not convenient for me to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
The queen also smiled slightly.
So if the little princess supports him, he will support him. If he dares to oppose the little princess, he will oppose him. If he dares not to listen to the little princess, the little princess will deal with him with a gun. If he dares to resist, he will threaten his woman and then he will beat him to death.
But Ambassador Yang is still Ambassador Yang. As an envoy of the Ming Dynasty's allies, he will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he was beaten to death, it was only because he wanted to protect his woman.
Beaten to death...
Of course, those who were beaten to death have no right to object anymore.
"Ambassador, I remember that you and Fourteenth Aunt are not married yet, right?"
The queen said with a smile.
"But we are already married."
Yang Feng said frankly.
The little princess next to her suddenly turned red and was stunned...
