Zhu Yunxi’s attitude and views towards Lan Yu have always been complicated.
Counting the current military commanders of the Ming Dynasty, after King Zhongshan and King Kaiping passed away one after another, Lan Yu is already the well-deserved number one.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yunxi sent a letter to the northwest and summoned Lan Yu to lead his troops eastward out of Tongguan after encountering an ambush by the White Lotus Sect rebels in Xuzhou Prefecture before arriving at Henan Road.
In terms of military strategy, the Ming Dynasty today has no equal.
However, he was the first person in the Ming Dynasty's military, but he was not as disciplined as the late King Zhongshan and King Kaiping.
Sapphire is unruly.
It can even be said to be arrogant.
At an age that was far more powerful than that of King Zhongshan and King Kaiping, he achieved achievements that neither of them had achieved in the past, which undoubtedly gave Lan Yu great confidence.
This confidence gives Lan Yu a arrogant and arrogant attitude.
The old man can suppress Lan Yu, and the prince and father can also suppress Lan Yu.
But what if it’s me?
Zhu Yunxi has always had doubts about whether he can control Lan Yu?
This is not a transfer based on human will.
Since ancient times, there have been countless lessons learned that can be used as warnings for today’s people.
This time, Lan Yu killed the rebels in Shengchi County and Xin'an County in front of the formation. From the military point of view, Zhu Yunxi had no place or reason to comment.
Nowadays, the rebellion in Henan Province is raging, and the imperial army cannot fully devote itself to Henan Province and Shandong Province. It also needs to guard against other places. If Lanyu falls into a constrained situation in the western part of Henan Province, it will undoubtedly increase the pressure and pressure on the Muying tribe in the south.
Advance difficulty.
The troops must be quick and the troops must be simple and attack as fast as possible. This is Lan Yu’s military strategy for suppressing the rebellion in the western part of Henan Province that does not need to be stated explicitly.
However, in addition to matters above military strategy, Zhu Yunxi also had to consider the influence above government affairs.
As Xiaopang said, a tough counter-insurgency strategy will cause the rebels in Henan Province from the outside to cut off the possibility of surrender and instead choose to fight to the end.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xiaopang and did not choose to answer his question.
The two brothers looked at each other.
Zhu Gaochi snorted twice: "Actually, you don't care what the people above the court think."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi kicked a raised brick on the city wall.
Zhu Yunxi hummed.
Zhu Gaochi continued: "The general put down the rebellion with a tough attitude. In your opinion, no matter what impact it will have, it is far less than the benefits.
Because this time you want to use Henan Road as an example. Only by completely breaking and reshaping Henan Road from top to bottom is your goal.
Only when the general kills more people, those people will be truly afraid of being killed, can the Ming Dynasty be guaranteed to have stability and peace for at least thirty years, or even fifty years. Otherwise, you would not have exposed yourself like this in Henan Road.
Before there were many problems, I ordered the general to lead his troops back east."
The little fat guy kept going over the questions, while Zhu Yunxi watched the other person quietly, listening to the other person's explanation.
Wait until Xiaopang stops talking.
Zhu Yunxi then nodded: "When this matter is over, the general can return to Beijing and go to the martial arts hall to teach a few martial arts students in a down-to-earth manner."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately hummed twice, with an expression of 'I care to see through you' on his face.
"Look, you've even thought about how to be kind to the general."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "The general put down the rebellion in Henan Province. This is a great achievement, but can the court still make him a king? Then his unruly murder is a crime, and the merits and demerits are equal to each other?
If you punish a martial arts student who has taught in a martial arts hall for a few years, maybe when the general becomes mature and serious, you will find an opportunity to change the title of the general and then use it again.
After all, our General Lan from the Ming Dynasty is very young and strong now."
"If you make the decision for our Ming Dynasty, you will definitely be respected by everyone." Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke in sincere approval.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head repeatedly, with a surprised and horrified expression: "I still want to live for a few more years. When I am no longer useful, you can find a good place for me so that I can retire in peace." p>
At this moment, there are several more horses outside the city carrying morning dew on their backs, rushing towards Kaifeng City from the official road in the distance.
The cavalry passed through the city gate and entered the city gate opening.
The clicking sound echoed endlessly.
Then, the cavalry entered the streets of Kaifeng City, which had become less lively due to the rebellion, and headed towards the Sansi Yamen.
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly: "The martial arts hall is very important. We want to truly live forever, but with the current plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve. As long as there is change, real change, maybe there will be a chance."
Eternity is too long, it is just a slogan of Zhu Yunxi.
As long as it can survive five or six hundred years in peace, the Ming Dynasty at that time will definitely attract everyone's attention and listening.
No matter how smart Zhu Gaochi is, it is impossible for him to know what Zhu Yunxi is really thinking at this moment.
He changed his mouth and said: "The general's merits and demerits have been balanced, and he has been transferred to the Jiangwu Hall to defend his inferiority. So after this time, will Xipinghou go one step further?
And on the Shandong Road side, why did the Beiping Dusi command Zhang Zhiyuan to lead the troops south? If I remember correctly, my father has attached great importance to him in recent years. This year, my father will be marching north, so it is impossible to let him go south.
of."
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Gaochi stared deeply at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, seemingly unwilling to let go of any slight change in expression on his face.
Zhu Yunxi took two steps forward and looked outside the city. It was now probably the most peaceful suburb of Kaifeng Prefecture in the entire Henan Province.
He looked sideways and explained: "Duke Qian, what do you think of this title?"
Zhu Gaochi paused and said hesitantly: "Yunnan is also called Qian. Do you want Xipinghou and his family to rule Yunnan forever? If so, that's not a bad idea."
"Yunnan controls a vast territory in the south, and is now under the conquest of General Chang Da. And Yunnan is rich in copper and iron, and is connected to Sichuan and Guangxi to the north. In a few years, Yunnan Province will be unknowingly
During this period, it became the core area of southern Ming Dynasty. Do you think this kind of Yunnan needs reliable people and Yongzhen place?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Yunxi explained softly that if he remembered correctly, in the original history, in the near future, Yunnan would become a place where countless clansmen and dignitaries from the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty would privately mine and exchange copper ore.
Yunnan copper leaves Yunnan and goes north to south, either along the Guangxi Road or the Sichuan Road, and then passes through the Yangtze River and canals, and is transported into private money bags.
Strengthening the presence of Yunnan Road above Yingtian Chaotang, strengthening supervision, and making it the core of the southern Ming Dynasty in the future is one of Zhu Yunxi's many plans.
Zhu Gaochi did not pay much attention to the fact that the Xiping Hou family was destined to be promoted to Duke of Guizhou.
The Mu family originally had the surname Zhu.
Zhu Gaochi smiled and stared blankly at Zhu Yunxi: "What about Shandong Road? Zhang Zhiyuan, as the commander of Beiping Dusi, is in charge of the mobilization of troops and horses throughout Shandong Road. This matter has been planned for a long time.
?"
Zhu Yunxi also smiled twice and looked at Xiaopang calmly: "Zhang Zhiyuan was sent by his fourth uncle. The situation in Shandong Road is actually far more complicated than that in Henan Road. If Zhang Zhiyuan cannot grasp enough power in his hands, it may be very difficult.
Stabilize the situation on Shandong Road."
"Stabilize?" Zhu Gaochi keenly grasped the key point of Zhu Yunxi's rhetoric: "Do you think it is difficult to completely quell the rebellion in Shandong Road? Are you going to let General Lan and the others lead the army eastwards?"
Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head: "The chaos on Shandong Road is not on Shandong Road, but elsewhere."
That's Shandong Road, where the saints came from.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered slightly.
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and was about to speak, but someone quickly caught up under the city wall.
He is the commander of the provincial capital of Henan Province.
The visitor climbed up the city wall, looked around, and after seeing the traces of the emperor's grandson and Prince Yan, he walked over quickly.
"Your Highness, there is a military report from General Lan in the direction of Luoyang City. Please report to Your Highness for your decision."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi immediately looked at the fat man next to him in confusion.
In the west direction of Luoyang, Lan Yu's military operations were sent here this morning, but now there are military reports sent. This is obviously against common sense.
Zhu Gaochi shrugged, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
The two of them thought to no avail, so they motioned to the people from Dusi Yamen to lead the way.
At this moment.
In the city of Kaifeng, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, Si Yamen, was already quarreling into a pot of porridge.
As the place in charge of all the garrison and garrison stations in Henan Province, its strength appears to be particularly weak in the current situation of rebellion throughout Henan Province.
Tens of thousands of Henan Province soldiers and horses rebelled, but few people dared to truly believe that the officers and soldiers of Henan Province's guards could still listen to the imperial court.
In addition to Yu Ma, who had just been transferred from the Imperial Guards to the Henan capital at the beginning of this year, he also had more than 10,000 troops and horses under his command. Most of the local guards, even those who did not participate in the rebellion, were either overtly or covertly involved in the rebellion.
Placed in the ranks of doubters.
It's just that at this moment, the quarrel in the Dusi Yamen is not at all about the loyalty of the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dao Guard Station.
The two sides in the quarrel, at least on the surface, are very interesting and unexpected.
The two parties quarreling were mainly composed of the Henan Daodusi Yamen faction and the Shanzhi pro-jun Yulinwei faction. The two parties refused to compromise with each other.
As for Yu Ma and Tang Bi, who were colleagues in the Shangzhiqin army, they sat in the White Tiger Hall of the Yamen and looked at each other even more disgustingly.
Since the troops and horses of Dusi Yamen were stationed in Gong County, Henan Province, and it became difficult to continue their westward march, Yu Ma handed over all the troops and horses staying in Gong County to the command of his deputy general, and returned to Kaifeng City to take charge of Dusi Yamen.
Tang Bi has always been the leader and responsible for guarding the safety of the emperor's grandson.
There was a lot of talk between the two parties in the White Tiger Hall. If they were not concerned about officialdom, they would have fought each other long ago.
"This is absolutely impossible! We are the swords of the imperial court, guarding the four directions. At this moment, there is chaos in Henan Road and Shandong Road, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is sitting in Kaifeng with his rich body. You want us to abandon His Highness the Grand Sun and ignore the safety of His Highness.
In trouble?"
The one who spoke was a commanding officer of the Yulin Right Guards of the Imperial Army under Tang Bi. He was red-faced and extremely excited when he spoke. He almost wanted to scold the colleagues from the Henan Dusi Yamen who were on the opposite side.
Those rebels and rebels.
Opposite.
The generals of the Henan Dusi Yamen under Yu Ma also competed with each other.
"Every prefecture and county in Henan Province is in chaos. According to the plan of the general, it is enough to decide the situation in one fell swoop. The rebels from all over Henan Province are gathered together in one place and surrounded by a large army. Our army has a strong front, with the imperial court and
The whole world thinks that it has its back, and it will sweep away the chaos in a corner."
In the White Tiger Hall, the quarrels continued one after another. Everyone on both sides could tell a lot of reasons, but no one could convince the other.
Tang Bi sat in the second highest chair and ignored the quarrels in the hall. All the quarrels at this time were irrelevant. The people in these quarrels only had the power to express their opinions, but not to make decisions.
This is where the swords of the Ming Dynasty are located. It is a place where one can go forward and die after giving an order. Instead of being above the court, the Gonggun princes are a place where even a green-robed official can have a say in the world. p>
Tang Bi's attention was focused on Yu Ma, who was in another high position.
This is a comrade who has worked with the Yulin Guards in Yingtian City for many years.
Tang Bi blocked out the quarrels in his ears one by one, and his eyes were thoughtful: "Do you dare His Highness to know about such nonsense?"
Yu Ma's brows twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Tang Bi, whose eyes were as calm as water: "Your Highness has a body of thousands of gold, how dare we make any unreasonable comments? If the general had not requested this military report, this matter would not have happened today." Tang Bi sneered and said: "I am just a person of love and reason, and I should not argue here about the laws of the Ming Dynasty. There is a saying in the martial arts hall: soldiers should be the purest in the world. I deeply believe so." p>
Yu Ma's eyes were a little blurry.
In the past, he was the commander of the Yulin Guards of the Imperial Army, and all he thought about was the emperor and the safety of the royal family. Now, he is the commander of the capital of Henan Province, and the stability of Henan Province is in his mind. p>
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I seemed to be in a hurry, as if I was ignorant, and lost my original purity.
Peng.
There was a loud noise in the Baihu Hall of the Henan Daodu Commander-in-Chief Office.
Yu Ma's face was ashen, and he slapped his thick palms on the table.
He stared sharply at the two parties arguing in front of him: "Have you forgotten about loyalty to the emperor?"
In the White Tiger Hall, all the generals were at a loss.
Instead, everyone is careful.
After a burst of armor shaking, all the generals fell to the ground on one knee.
"You will eventually be convicted."
In the White Tiger Hall, all the generals apologized, and after the sound was over, the whole hall was silent.
Yu Ma's face looked ugly, and he suddenly felt ashamed of his armor.
There was silence in the hall.
Outside the hall, there was a sound of footsteps.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the commander of the capital, Si Baihutang, who looked strange at this moment, with a trace of doubt.
He looked at Yu Ma and Tang Bi, who also had sullen faces and were sitting on top of the chairs.
Zhu Yunxi chuckled lightly: "What happened? All the generals of the Ming Dynasty were asked to kneel here. Is it because the battle ahead is unfavorable, or is our army defeated somewhere?"
Yu Ma and Tang Bi suddenly woke up amid the ridicule. Zeng immediately stood up, and then they joined hands in front of Zhu Yunxi and knelt on the ground.
"I respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."
The two of them knelt in unison to welcome Zhu Yunxi.
Then, Yu Ma spoke first: "I despised the emperor's salary and failed to relieve the emperor's worries. This is my dereliction of duty. I am deeply responsible for my crime."
Zhu Yunxi blinked, completely unaware of what happened in the White Tiger Hall earlier. He looked at Tang Bi who was also kneeling in front of him with doubtful eyes, showing a hint of doubt.
Tang Bi seemed to feel Zhu Yunxi's gaze. He raised his head carefully and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, the Duke of Liang's army has arrived today. Please send out all the troops and horses in Kaifeng City and set up an empty city for Your Highness to guard."
, the troops and horses were released from the gap outside the city, and there were troops and horses oppressing them outside, attracting the rebels and rebels from various prefectures and counties to come to Kaifeng City for a desperate fight. Our army was surrounded from all directions, with iron walls on all sides, and the chaos in Henan Road was quelled in one fell swoop.
”
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Gaochi, who was behind Zhu Yunxi, glanced at the generals in the White Tiger Hall, blinked, and seemed to have thought of something, and then closed his mouth tightly.
Zhu Shangbing, who had previously been patrolling the city and met Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, snorted coldly on the spot.
"How courageous Duke Liang is! He actually dares to put His Royal Highness, the Imperial Grandson of our court, in danger, and has no regard for the safety of His Royal Highness's daughter!"
Zhu Shangbing shook his robe and waved his arms, with a ruthless look on his face: "This prince, when he returns to the capital, will definitely impeach the Duke of Liang for his unruly behavior and the crime of not being a superior!"
There was still silence in the White Tiger Hall. With Zhu Shangbing's scolding, the atmosphere instantly became extremely cold.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed: "Have you become a bait?"
This was the first thing he said.
Then, Zhu Yunxi walked lightly into the White Tiger Hall and sat on the top chair.
"Is this strategy feasible? How sure are you?"
This is his second sentence.
Yu Ma and Tang Bi had already knelt on the ground and turned around as Zhu Yunxi entered.
Yu Ma immediately spoke: "I will protect His Royal Highness's daughter to the death. I can put an end to the chaos in Henan Road."
"The final general will protect His Royal Highness the Emperor's rich body to the death!"
The generals roared in unison along with their horses, and the sound seemed to shake the roof of the White Tiger Hall.
Zhu Yunxi, however, shook his head: "I walked through ten thousand troops, and I said some big words, but I also climbed the wall of the original capital of the Chen Dynasty on Jiaozhi Road."
"Your Highness's bravery is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunxi laughed a few times: "Where does the bravery come from? I am not a fairy."
The emperor's grandson's calmness exceeded the expectations of many people present.
Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, patted his legs lightly with his palm and spoke softly: "Since the general thought that all the troops and horses in Kaifeng City were mobilized, it was clearly to reinforce the rebellion, but in fact, he secretly used me as bait to lure the rebels in Henan Province.
If it is transferred to Kaifeng, let’s follow this plan.”
The expressions of Yu Ma and Tang Bi both changed.
Tang Bi, who had not spoken until now, immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Your Highness is a rich man, and he has been given the power to supervise the country. He has the power of imperial edict, and is under the Crown Prince of the East Palace, where the Ming Dynasty is located. I and others are guarding Kaifeng and are responsible for Your Highness's daughter."
Safety. If His Highness is safe, then the Ming Dynasty will be safe. Even if I die, I will not dare to put His Highness in danger."
Yu Ma changed from kneeling on one knee to touching the bottom with both knees, raising his hands and slapping them on the ground.
"I would like to ask Your Highness to reprimand the Duke of Liang for his military sentiments, and I will go to His Highness to offer you a body of a thousand pieces of gold."
"I would like to ask Your Highness to give you a body of a thousand gold!"
In the White Tiger Hall, all the generals agreed with Ma Hou and asked Zhu Yunxi to reject Lan Yu's military strategy.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and stood up under the nervous gazes of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing.
He smiled in front of everyone present and spoke loudly.
"The Ming Dynasty is uneasy, so how can I be at peace?"
"If the Ming Dynasty is uneasy, how can our family be safe?"
