"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Everyone in the tent couldn't help but jump up in surprise and repeatedly warned him. However, this time Zhu Qizhen did not maintain his usual demeanor of being accepting of others' words.
"My decision has been made. You don't need to say more." Zhu Qizhen dropped these words and left the tent without saying anything more. The generals who stayed in the tent couldn't help but look at each other.
For a moment, there was silence.
Zhu Qizhen walked slowly in the camp, looking at the soldiers who were eating steaming dinners and chatting and laughing in low voices. The gloom in his heart gradually dissipated. He wanted to get back what belonged to him.
These brave and powerful soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should not be allowed to face their compatriots and raise the butcher's knife in their hands.
If that's the case, why do you have to spend so much effort? Making so many layouts and arrangements, it's better to just pull over all the hundreds of thousands of border town elites who are located in Mantao'er.
"Your Majesty, is it too risky for you to do this?" Qian Zhong, who had been following Zhu Qizhen closely, stopped when he saw Zhu Qizhen standing at the camp gate, came closer, and said with worry on his face
.
Zhu Qizhen turned his face and looked at Qian Zhong, patted his shoulder and said gently: "Adventure, haha, Qian Zhong, no matter what I say, I am the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Could it be that I am the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty?"
, can you still keep your own Supreme Emperor at bay?"
"Having said that, Your Majesty, today you can even do things like poisoning and killing the prince. If anything happens to you, I will be killed." Young Qian Zhongjin
He frowned with a look of reluctance.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of hot-blooded idiot who doesn't even care about his own safety." Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and said, but as soon as he said these words, he realized that something was wrong. He had fallen into that place in the past.
Ye Xian seemed to often do these two things when he was in his hands. He couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with some embarrassment, and smiled to hide it: "Well, I can't do it anyway."
That night, the generals also had trouble sleeping, because the reason why they followed Zhu Qizhen to the capital showed that they had staked their own futures and even their lives.
-------------------
Now, Zhu Qizhen's move was indeed too risky. All the generals felt that the only solution now was to lead a large army, break through the capital with the power of thunder, and seize power by force.
As long as time is tight and the people of the world have not yet reacted, Zhu Qizhen has already regained the imperial power. In the future, there will not be too much fluctuation and turmoil in the world. After all, Zhu Qizhen is a member of the old Zhu family and a former emperor.
However, Zhu Qizhen had strictly ordered the troops to stay on the grassland from the beginning and monitor the situation on the grassland to prevent the grassland tribes from doing anything strange again. In fact, what he did was quite unnecessary in the eyes of these generals.
You must know that this grassland battle can be said to be a rare victory since the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Even the results achieved by Emperor Yongle's five expeditions on the grassland in the past were slightly inferior to this.
What's more important is that the tribes on the grassland have been killed by the Ming Dynasty cavalry. Moreover, now that Ye Xian died, the tribes on the grassland first experienced the disintegration and cannibalism of the Wasi Empire, and then
, Zhu Qizhen intervened in the grassland again, and the Ming Dynasty's cavalry, as well as the grassland tribes attached to the Ming Dynasty, slaughtered the entire prairie again.
It can be said that today's grasslands have lost most of their young men and warriors, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen also ordered all tribes to mobilize warriors from the tribes to serve the Ming Dynasty. These people have become the Ming Dynasty's
Soldiers, too, can be considered hostages.
Under such circumstances, the grassland wants to cause chaos, unless those guys are crazy lunatics, eager for their tribe to follow the footsteps of Weng Niute and other grassland headquarters, entering the hut with a lantern, looking for death.
Therefore, all the generals felt that what Zhu Qizhen did was to leave a large number of elite border troops who were willing to be loyal to him on the grassland, but only led a few elite troops to escort the prisoners of war straight to the capital.
It is the posture and behavior of the capital offering prisoners.
Such an approach seemed a bit difficult for everyone to understand. After all, their lives and fortunes were all on Zhu Qizhen, and they certainly did not hope that His Majesty the Emperor would fail at the last moment.
However, Zhu Qizhen's personality charm, as well as his strong self-confidence and commanding power, made the generals suppress their doubts and worries and obey his will, including Zhu Qizhen who told them that tomorrow
, still according to the original plan, they entered Beijing with great fanfare. They also wanted to see if Zhu Qizhen had any trump cards that he had not revealed. They also wanted to see what the emperor Zhu Qizhen was like.
Can I enter the capital smoothly?
"Tingyi, what good will this do to our Ming Dynasty?" Lao Wang sat in the study room of Yu Qian's mansion, staring angrily, and shouted in a deep voice to Yu Qian, who was sitting opposite and was silent.
"You are the Minister of the Ministry of War. Now, the country is safe and peaceful, and the grasslands are experiencing great victories. At this time, suddenly the nine gates are guarded by heavy troops. What is the reason for this?"
"Old Minister, are you not clear? What Yu is entrusting is His Majesty's holy order." Yu Qian sighed softly in his heart, raised his head, looked at the old man with gray beard and hair, and explained sincerely.
"How could I not know, but His Majesty is now seriously ill, and his mind is probably affected. Under such circumstances, he issued such a ridiculous holy will. The cabinet members are just weaklings, but why did you, Yu Tingyi,
Follow such an imperial edict? Since today, the people in the capital have been complaining. I don’t believe you don’t know how much impact this will have on the capital.” Old Wang stroked his long beard and looked directly at Yu Qian with drowsy eyes.
Speaking in a deep voice.
"How can Yu not know, but...Yu has to do this." Yu Qian slowly stood up straight, with an unspeakable bitter smile on his face. "I think the old minister should also know, His Majesty the Emperor.
Since we arrived at the pacification of the grasslands, we have not sent out the elite troops from each town to return to camp. Instead, we have gathered troops in the northern frontier of our Ming Dynasty capital. What is the reason for this?"
The old king stroked his long beard and raised his eyebrows. "His Majesty the Emperor led my army of the Ming Dynasty to pacify the grassland, which is an unprecedented achievement. However, the grassland is so big that there must be many disputes between the various tribes. Your Majesty the Emperor will not
It is possible to slaughter all the grasslands, so it is natural to both suppress and appease them. Naturally, the troops in the border towns must be used as a suppressive force to prevent the various tribes from having different opinions and causing unnecessary disputes."
Hearing Wang Zhan's nonchalant talk, Yu Qian couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on his face: "Old Minister, Yu is also a sensible person, why do you have to follow Yu in detours?"
