Chapter 64: Three Joint Criminals in the Northern Territory
Originally, the city of Nanjing was prosperous, and little of the decadence after the famine had been washed away. However, urgent news came from the north. The messenger, who had been traveling day and night, fell down on the Jinluan Hall with blood stains on his face and chapped wounds.
If the hairspring report situation!
"Your Majesty, the Tatar Mahamu has recovered from his old injuries. The United Wara has made a comeback, harassing the northern border, trying to cross the ice lake and set off to the south. Even the Uuliangha tribe who are friendly with our Ming Dynasty were persuaded by Mahamu.
The forces are moving northward in an attempt to integrate, intending to offend our Ming Dynasty."
"Half a month ago, we were on the glacial lake, and there were many small frictions. But this time, the Tatar Mahamu was much more cautious. His wolfish ambitions were clearly revealed. He also asked the emperor to send troops to guard the north!"
The other party has been testing for the past few days. Several vanguard teams have been surrounded and strangled by the three forces. The three messengers were robbed and killed again on the way back to the Ming Dynasty. He was the only one left. He traveled day and night and his horse was broken.
Three horses.
The government and the public were shaken. Just after the natural disaster, war broke out again. The veterans were too frightened to speak. Now is the time to use military generals. The generals can display their ambitions, but there is no one in the government to use them.
The smile on Zhu Di's face froze. He just wanted to praise the King of Chu. The famine was solved well. Good news came from many cities, but the bad news came faster. He stood up from the dragon chair tremblingly and took a picture of the dragon case.
He raised his eyes to look at the ministers in the court, but there was no one available. Long Yan was furious, "If you dare to attack our Ming Dynasty, I will conquer it myself!"
All the civil and military officials were shocked, but no one dared to step forward. Prince Zhu Gaochi bowed and remonstrated, "Father, you must not do this. The Ming Dynasty has just been recuperating, and the people have finally sown the seeds in the fields. If there is another war, I am afraid the people will panic."
, The journey to the north is long and the environment is difficult, so it’s important to take care of the dragon’s body!”
Just after the famine, the people finally had enough to eat, and then there was a war. Where did the food and grass come from in this war?
The entire Ming Dynasty was in such a tight situation, but they still continued the Northern Expedition. Did they not care about the life and death of the people of the Ming Dynasty? Prince Zhu Gaochi did not agree with the war.
After the prince spoke, San Yang also stood up, and Yang Rong was the first to bear the brunt. "I thought that our Ming Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses. As early as a year ago, the Tatars were afraid of us, so it was better to negotiate with the leaders of the three tribes to avoid the war. The people would not
As for being tired by the flowing fire, let alone making many soldiers bleed into rivers, it is up to the emperor to think about it!"
Yang Shiqi also disagreed with the war and agreed with the request, "Now that the ice and snow are melting in the north, our war horses will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Moreover, the combined strength of the three forces is unfathomable. It is better to discuss superficially and then consider the long term. Don't be impulsive!"
After the prince and San Yang talked about it, all the ministers in the court thought it was better to take it easy first, and they all followed the prince with their heads lowered like quails.
When King Zhu Gaoxu of Han saw the situation in the DPRK, if he didn't stand up, his father might really have to talk to the people of the Third Ministry, "Father, we have already won the Northern Expedition, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Do we want others to underestimate us? Do we want others to underestimate us?"
It’s not that the Tatar Mahamu is insidious and cunning. The Tatars have already been integrated into the Ming Dynasty. They are defeated by one of their own men, but we have to treat them with courtesy and talk to them. How can this make sense?"
Zhu Muchen stood on one side. He usually thought that the King of Han was wealthy and powerful. In the trend of history, the King of Han was a defeated general, but he did not expect him to be decisive and courageous. The prince's blind tolerance would only encourage the arrogance of the three tribes. Now they
Together, they will definitely overthrow the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty retreats all the way, these people may take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and even directly attack the city of Nanjing.
As the vassal king, Zhu Muchen was not a direct relative of Zhu Di, so he would definitely not remonstrate. He just stood aside and watched the two parties fighting.
King Zhao thought for a moment and stood together with the King of Han. "My son thinks what the King of Han said is very good. We, the Ming Dynasty, are so big, so why should we be afraid of a few ants? With my father in charge, and the Ming soldiers following us, we will be able to secure the north safely and secure the country."
They fight back to their old place."
The war faction and the peace faction in the audience started arguing. Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon throne, rubbed his brows. In fact, he didn't want to go to the Northern Expedition, but if he didn't go to the Northern Expedition, would he still be able to sit securely in his position?
Within the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were eyeing, and outside the Ming Dynasty, there were provocations and provocations, and one party had to be dealt with. Now that the world is stable, it is not appropriate to deal with the vassal kings. Zhu Di slapped the dragon case with his palm, "Don't say anything, since we in the Ming Dynasty are fighting
If you win one battle, there will be a second one. I personally approve the commanders and go into battle. What objections do you have? If there is no war in this world, everyone is just for temporary comfort. This cancer in the north has been growing for a long time.
, I’m afraid they will go straight to Nanjing City, and if they want to suppress it, they will be suppressed in the north and uprooted, so I can rest assured!”
Zhu Gaochi and Sanyang looked at each other and finished. Since this was the emperor's decision, no one could change the emperor's mind. They could only let it go and retreat one after another. All the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to express their anger. The emperor ordered
Don't dare to violate it.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji had a relieved smile on his face. He knew that once the emperor heard that Mahamu had made a comeback, he would never let it go. It was exactly what he thought, but all the emperor's uncles were fighting for it in the court.
His face was red and his ears were red. His Highness, the great grandson, was not suitable to get involved.
I am just extremely curious, why does a great talent like Zhu Muchen say nothing? He huddled in the corner like a civil and military official, but his hand was gently touching the edge of his sleeve, as if he was thinking about something?
As soon as Zhu Muchen raised his head, he met His Highness Taisun's eyes and nodded as a greeting.
Zhu Muchen was originally not prepared to participate in this matter, but when King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty heard that the emperor was taking charge of the battle, he was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to criticize Zhu Muchen's position and suggested: "In the last Northern Expedition, the King of Chu showed the same talent as the old prince, even more so than the old prince.
A young man is better than a good man. In this Northern Expedition, I hope that my father can take the King of Chu with him, so that he can be his right-hand man and relieve my father's worries!"
As for who to bring with him, Zhu Di was very irritated when he looked at the government and the opposition who could not be helped up. Each one was like a wooden stake in the Jinluan Palace. The pestle there was just annoying. He asked Xiao Jingzi to announce that all the civil and military officials would withdraw from the court and take them with him.
People went to the imperial study room.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Muchen stood at the bottom, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, but Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu mentioned it again.
Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhu Muchen. It had to be said that during the Northern Expedition, King Chu indeed showed talents like Zhu Meng. Moreover, he took the lead during the famine. He was the most dazzling among the vassal kings, but he was so dazzling.
, if it cannot be used for oneself, it will be a big hidden danger. King Han's heart is not as simple as he thought, and there are still worries, "King Chu, your two concubines have just given birth to a pair of little princesses, and now they are not enough."
In half a year, are you really willing to follow me in the Northern Expedition? Would you still be willing if you were wrapped in horse leather?"
This was testing him. Zhu Muchen felt like a mirror in his mind. If Zhu Di really wanted him to go, would he still need to ask for his opinion? It seemed to be to reunite him with the little princess, but if he really reunited with the little princess,
In Zhu Di's heart, he could be regarded as a deserter.
If he agreed, it would appear that he was too eager for quick success. With Zhu Di's suspicious temperament, he would definitely not let him go. Even if he went, he would be looking for trouble in every possible way.
It seems that he is in a dilemma, but he can solve it easily by using clever strategies. Zhu Muchen slowly walked out and bowed: "Although I can't bear to leave my home, but without everyone in the Ming Dynasty, how can we come to the small family of the Prince of Chu's Mansion? It is our duty to protect the emperor. The emperor is in the Ming Dynasty."
As far as the whole Ming Dynasty is concerned, I am as insignificant as a small ephemera. Even if my body is returned wrapped in horse leather, I will be willing to do so. Even if the two little princesses grow up, they will still honor me."
The King of Chu's words shocked the imperial study room. Even the prince Zhu Gaochi wanted to give him a thumbs up for his big heart. Zhu Di was quite moved in his heart. The King of Chu was a man of big plans, and he was much more pleasing to the eye than the civil and military officials in the court.
Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu secretly rejoiced in his heart. He really did not win over the wrong person. People like King Chu can do great things. In the future, he must raise the position of King Chu high and must not offend him. If he sits on the throne, Chu
The king must be his number one loyal minister!
With a slight cough, Zhu Di was touched by King Chu's words just now, but he was not one to listen to words. He had to take some practical actions, "King Chu, your fire gun team performed extraordinary last time."
In terms of combat effectiveness, how about you train in advance this time and let others rule the Fire Gun Team?"
Your Prince of Chu's Mansion has no foundation when it comes to Nanjing from Wuchang City. If you lose the Fire Gun Team, it will be even worse. It will be difficult to sing alone. Zhu Di gently clasped the bookcase with his hand. If Zhu Muchen can even agree to this, it shows his loyalty.
Commendable.
This is a battle of wits and courage with him, Zhu Muchen is not in a hurry, "The whole world is so big, could it be the king's land, the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers, let alone the fire musketry team of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, even if it is Chu
As long as the royal palace's imperial guards can help the emperor in his Northern Expedition, I will have nothing to say."
This is not the time to make excuses. Zhu Muchen knows in his heart that in modern times, any legitimate lobbying will be regarded as reasons. It is better to follow the leader's wishes. The leader is confused. Even if the Fire Gun Team is let out, how many people in the Ming Dynasty will
Can an individual be trained in a short period of time?
Moreover, there is not much time left to press the border in the north. If you want to select someone to train a larger team, no one is more suitable than him anyway. Zhu Muchen generously agreed on the surface, which can reduce Zhu Di's doubts, even for the sake of himself in the later stage.
Keep the Fire Guns Team firmly in your hands.
Zhu Di was quite shocked. The world belonged to him, and the King of Chu could see it clearly. Sure enough, those vassal kings were not as clever as the King of Chu. He no longer wanted to test him, and decided with a wave of his hand, "Let you lead it.
You are already familiar with the Fire Guns Team, and as there is not much time left, I believe that the King of Chu will definitely be able to train a brave and capable Fire Guns Battalion. However, although the Fire Guns Battalion of the King of Chu's Mansion has amazing combat power, there are only a few of them.
Thousands, after all, it’s still too little compared to the power of the other three!”?
