Chapter 439 Zhu Gaojie: Your sword is sharp, and my sword is not bad at all!
It is a very solemn thing for the master to return to the court and show off his achievements in triumph.
After discussing with Su Wu and others, Zhu Gaojie sent a messenger to consult the cabinet Yang Rong and others for their opinions and ideas, and finally the matter was completely settled.
"Most of the fifth military camp has entered the city and taken over the city's defense, leaving only one team."
"The Shenji Battalion and the Fengzi Battalion, along with the rest of the troops, will be stationed outside the city. Each will send out an elite team. The three battalions will join together as the troops that will enter the city to review and parade tomorrow."
Zhu Gaojie ordered the people around him:
"Please select the good ones for the Oara and Tatar prisoners and take them with you. Don't die while walking. That would be a bit embarrassing."
Su Wu suddenly laughed:
"Your Highness, please just rest assured."
"I have already made arrangements. I have selected prisoners who have been frightened out of their wits. They will be hungry all night today and eat a little before entering the city tomorrow. They are all tightly strung with thick hemp ropes, with both sides tied tightly.
The soldiers are keeping a close watch and nothing will happen."
Shen Qingyu on the side also smiled and said:
"Your Highness, these Tartars have been killed a long time ago. In addition, many of them have died while sleeping and marching in the open. The remaining ones are basically smart people who will not suddenly go crazy under strict control.
, there are so many heads behind them to restrain them, the divine arm bow in our hands is not just a decoration."
Zhu Gaojie nodded with satisfaction. This is how we should treat foreigners.
He thought for a moment and ordered the guards around him:
"Bring me my soft armor, and also my special pistol."
Then he explained to several people:
"This time I lead the army in triumph, which can basically be regarded as the last chance for those people."
"When I return to the palace, I will definitely start investigating the cause of the old man's death. I will not let anyone with suspicion off him!"
"They will definitely jump over the wall and want to take advantage of this only opportunity to take advantage of me on the street..."
The faces of the few people all looked a little heavy, knowing in their hearts that what His Highness said was true.
Now, surrounding issues such as the throne, the army, internal and external collusion, the cause of Zhu Di's death, etc., an extremely huge and terrifying whirlpool has formed in the capital. It is gloomy and unpredictable, waiting for Zhu Gaojie to personally lead the army into the city and suppress it in one fell swoop!
And before that, Zhu Gaojie will also usher in the crazy counterattack of those people before they die!
Therefore, Zhu Gaojie put on extra stab-proof inner armor specially developed by the Ministry of Industry and carried a special musket that he had never used before to be fully prepared.
"Your Highness, please rest assured!"
Shen Qingyu cupped her hands, her face became very solemn, and she said loudly:
"I will definitely stay by His Highness's side, never leave, and will never let Xiao Xiao get even half a step closer to His Highness!"
Zhu Gaojie smiled and waved his hand and said to him:
"Don't be so nervous."
"I expected that those people were either lying in ambush at a high place to assassinate me with bows and crossbows, or they were mixed in the crowd and, like last time, suddenly burst out and assassinated me."
"Didn't the Jinyiwei send news that many suspicious people have been captured and the private houses and highlands around the street have been controlled?"
"I'm still very relieved, but it's just a little extra protection."
Su Wu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything else. He just apologized and turned around to make arrangements.
Zhu Gaojie, on the other hand, was thoughtful while listening to Shen Qingyu's report.
He knew very well that the enemy would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and even wanted to completely destroy him, the Prince of the East Palace, physically.
After all, as long as he successfully returns to the palace, the entire court, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, will usher in a bloody storm!
I don’t know how many officials and aristocratic families will die and disappear completely!
The only thing that made Zhu Gaojie feel a little doubtful was that he didn't know how many people would jump out and confront him this time!
What he wanted was to catch all these people in one fell swoop, completely defeat the influence of the great families in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and make them unable to recover, so that his future decrees could be implemented smoothly.
Zhu Gaojie would never do such a thing, and he would never show mercy to a snake.
I'm just afraid that even though he was baiting in such a high-profile manner, he still couldn't force the big fish that were sinking at the bottom to float, which would be a bit unpleasant...
"Wait a minute," just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a sentence that interrupted Shen Qingyu:
"You said that Jin Yiwei found sharp swords and powerful crossbows on some people?"
"There's even soft body armor?"
Zhu Gaojie's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a dangerous light flashed past:
"I remember that I had given strict orders to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War a long time ago. These ordnance are absolutely not allowed to leak out!"
"Where did these people come from?"
Shen Qingyu also knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly replied:
"According to the torture, it is said that someone handed it to them. I specially asked someone to look at it. All the numbered rounds inside have been rubbed away. According to experience, it is probably a private collection of a certain family."
"Your Highness, you also know that when the investigation and punishment were not strict in the past, a lot of things were left out of the Ministry of Works. It was only after Your Highness sent someone to keep an eye on the Ministry of Works that things got better."
Zhu Gaojie nodded. Of course he knew the virtues of the former Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War had also made many openings. After all, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not long ago, and the previous Mongolian and Yuan dynasties had extremely strict control over the Han people. It would cost you to buy a kitchen knife.
There are several joint guarantee agencies, so the civilian armaments have not really started to be strict.
But now that the enemy has such a sharp weapon, then your own safety must be a priority.
"Sharp sword, powerful crossbow, soft armor, ha,"
Zhu Gaojie chuckled and shook his head slightly:
"These people seem to be at the end of their rope. They even dare to take out these things..."
Indeed, the laws of the Ming Dynasty have long stipulated that although people usually do not hold officials accountable, it is light to dig up three feet of the ground in the owner's home to pursue the nine tribes with weapons and weapons like this!
Shen Qingyu was very nervous about this. God knows what kind of harm those people would do to His Highness with crossbows and swords in hand?
For this kind of thing, don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst case...
Zhu Gaojie didn't say anything more. He believed that Shen Qingyu should understand what he meant.
Entering the city tomorrow, no matter what the risks, will be a decisive and crucial scene, and there is absolutely no room for error!
Since you have made such full preparations, are you still worried that the other party will fail to make a comeback?
He pulled out his sword from his waist, and it made a clang sound in the wind. The sword's light was like water, and he murmured to himself:
"Your sword is sharp, and my sword is not bad at all!"
