Chapter 396 The Three Guards of the Rebellion of Jianzhou [3 More]
Not to mention the emperor's safety and the number of people, once someone speaks, the custody will be reviled by hundreds of officials, and it will be strange if the emperor is not known to have a bad reputation for bewitching the emperor.
Thinking about Wang Zhen, he bewitched the emperor of Yingzong to go on a personal expedition, which resulted in the Tumu Fort Incident. After such an incident, it can be said that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty could not be more sensitive to the emperor's personal expedition. If we really want to do the Tumu Fort Incident again,
Who can save the world!
Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao looked at Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others, they all fell to the ground and begged the emperor to take charge of the capital.
Han Kunsu said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight against the Tatars and defend the capital to the death."
Lu Dazhu, Cheng Xiangwu and others all invited to fight.
At this moment, Zhang Mao coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on Zhang Mao, while Zhu Houzhao also looked at Zhang Mao expectantly.
As a British prince, Zhang Mao might not be able to suppress the civil and military opposition in the DPRK and China if Zhang Mao was willing to support his personal expedition. Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao was obviously going to be disappointed.
Zhang Mao is not a fool. The Ying clan's personal expedition directly led to the Tumubao Incident. Not only did the emperor fall into the hands of foreigners, but the Zhang family also lost Zhang Fu, their pillar of support, and the Xungui Group has been in decline ever since.
If he encourages Zhu Houzhao to go on a personal expedition, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he is afraid that the British Dukes will become public enemies of the imperial court. Even if they win, it will be fine. If there is any accident, I am afraid that the entire British Duke family will die.
Atoning.
Zhang Mao was heard to say slowly: "Your Majesty, what the elders said is true. As the king of a country, your words and deeds are related to the safety of the country. How can you take it easy to lead a military expedition in person?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look a little disappointed when he heard this. Although he knew in his heart that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree to allow him to lead the expedition in person, he just had high hopes.
Now that his hope has been shattered, he can only say with a disappointed look on his face: "The old Duke has rich experience. Let the old Duke personally preside over this battle against the Tatars."
As the saying goes, if a family has an old man, it is like having a treasure. Zhang Mao has lived for decades, and he is Zhang Yu, a descendant of Zhang Fu. Naturally, his ability cannot be too bad.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhu Houzhao to hand over major matters directly related to the safety of the capital to Zhang Mao. Moreover, several soldiers and horses in the capital are very responsible, such as Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others. There is a hint of competition between them, whether it is
Whether Cheng Xiangwu or Han Kun is the commander-in-chief and command the troops in the capital, it is obviously impossible to convince the public.
Obviously Zhang Mao is the best candidate. With Zhang Mao as the commander-in-chief, he can unify the troops and horses in the capital. Naturally, no one is dissatisfied. Under Zhang Mao, the troops and horses are all in the hands of Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu, Han Kun and others. Zhu Houzhao does not have to worry about the troops.
What will happen if it falls into Zhang Mao's hands?
Jiao Fang and others all breathed a sigh of relief and all said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty is wise!"
While Jiao Fang and other important civil and military ministers were discussing how to fight the Tatar army, Cao Shaoqin was seen leaving and returning, presenting a secret letter to Zhu Houzhao with a dignified look on his face.
Zhu Houzhao's heart thumped, thinking that something had happened in Jiangnan. However, after opening it, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, okay, what a bunch of immature bastards..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help showing some confusion. Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao, wondering who could make Zhu Houzhao so angry.
Zhu Houzhao calmed down the anger in his heart and handed the letter to Zhang Mao, saying: "Look, Sir, this is an urgent report from the Jinyi Guards. When the three guards of Jianzhou saw the Tatars raising 200,000 troops to invade, they thought that the Ming Dynasty was unable to care about the land of Liaodong. The three guards then raised troops.
The plundering of Liaodong is a sign of response to the Tatars."
Zhang Mao scanned the emergency report with ten lines of eyes, stroked his gray beard, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to disturb you. It's just the three guards of Jianzhou, and they can't cause any trouble at all."
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Jiao Fang was more than sixty years old. When he heard that the three guards of Jianzhou had rebelled, he did not show any surprise and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Xianzong sent large armies to suppress Jianzhou twice during the Chenghua period.
The three guards of Jianzhou were seriously injured. Since then, they have been extremely respectful and have continued to meet with them. Now, decades have passed. I am afraid that they have regained some of their strength, and they are ambitious again. They think they have an advantage when they see the Tatar invasion.
Can be picked up.”
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said: "There were several rebellions by the Jurchens in Liaodong. The emperor sent a large army into Liaodong to suppress the three guards of Jianzhou. I thought they would be able to maintain their duties, but I never thought that after several decades, they would have disobedience.
"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Hao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and said: "In Yan Qing's family, the person who led the troops to plunder Liaodong this time is Xi Baoqi, the commander of Jianzhou Left Guard. Does the Ministry of War have any records of this person's visits over the years?"
Yan Hao was slightly startled. He had just taken office not long ago. Even as Minister of War, he could not write down all the generals.
Especially in a remote place like Jianzhou Sanwei in Liaodong, it would be strange for Yan Hao to know about it.
With a slight cough, Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei, said: "Reporting to your majesty, I know the commander of Jianzhou Left Guard somewhat."
Only Qian Ning could be heard saying: "Xi Baoqi was the son of Dong Shan, the commander of Jianzhou Zuowei. Dong Shan looted Liaodong and was killed by the imperial court. Xibaoqi attacked the position of commander of Jianzhou Zuowei. He has a son named Fu."
Full of people."
Speaking of Dong Shan, I am afraid that very few people know that Dong Shan is the sixth ancestor of Nurhachi in Houjin, Xibaoqi is the fifth ancestor of Nurhachi, Fuman is the fourth ancestor, and Fuman’s fourth son Jue Changan is the grandfather of Nurhachi. Jue Chang
An's fourth son Takshi married Xitala and gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Nurhachi, the second son Shuerhaqi, and the third son Yarhaqi.
Cheng Xiangwu said angrily: "Only the three guards of Jianzhou, His Majesty Xianzong should have sent people to completely annihilate the Jurchens in Jianzhou. Such a capricious alien race, only by annihilating their clan can we avoid future troubles!"
Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "The three guards of Jianzhou are not strong enough. The most they can do is cause chaos in Liaodong. After I have defeated the Tatars this time, I will definitely send a large army to defeat the Jurchens in Jianzhou."
No matter whether it was Zhu Houzhao or the civil and military personnel present, no one really cared about a Jianzhou three-guard army with less than a few thousand troops.
The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was Mongolia in the north. Ever since Emperor Taizu expelled the Mongols and established the Central Plains, Emperor Chengzu had conquered Mobei during his five campaigns, and even later the Mongols were divided into Oara and Tatar. No matter how things changed, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty was Mongolia in the north.
As the emperor and the civil and military officials of the dynasty came up with countermeasures, anyone who was interested would find that the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became solemn.
There were many patrolling soldiers and horses on the long street, and the soldiers from the Beijing camp and the Tengxiang four guard camps who rarely appeared in front of people were also constantly transporting defense equipment to the city wall.
Seeing such movement, even a fool knows that the capital is about to face a fierce battle.
King Ning's rebellion had already spread throughout the country, so many people in the capital knew that a war was going on in the south of the Yangtze River. Even Chu Yi, the general manager, personally led an army to the south of the Yangtze River to put down the rebellion.
Because Jiangnan was thousands of miles away from the capital, everyone did not take Prince Ning's rebellion to heart at all. However, this sudden change made many people think that the counter-rebellion army had failed and that Prince Ning had gone straight to the capital.
The first thing that comes to mind in many people's minds is that Emperor Zhu Di went south to Jingnan and won the throne of emperor in one fell swoop.
But in the past, it was Zhu Di who went south from Beijing to conquer Nanjing and win the throne. Now King Ning is going north from Nanjing. If Beijing is lost, the world may change its hands. From Beijing to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Beijing, it is like a
Reincarnation is normal.
As a result, some rumors spread uncontrollably in the capital.
However, not long after, the imperial court sent someone to refute the rumors, and many people in the capital became frightened and uneasy. Only then did they learn that King Ning had been pacified by Chu Yi and was on his way to escort him to the capital.
Of course, the news that the Tatar army was approaching the city could not be kept secret for long. After some deliberations, Zhu Houzhao issued an order to inform the people in the capital of the news that the Tatar army was approaching the city.
As the news spread, the people of the capital suddenly went crazy. I don't know how many people felt panic in their hearts, but there were also some people who shouted to live or die with the capital.
Perhaps the concepts of country and nation are not so deeply understood by the people, but they know one thing clearly, that is, the Tatars are a foreign race. When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains lived such miserable lives. Ordinary people
The common people were not even qualified to have a name. The real name of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was Zhu Chongba, and his father was named Zhu Wusi directly after the number.
If King Ning goes north, not many people in the city will really care whether the capital will be captured, but the Tatar invasion is different.
If the capital falls into the hands of the Tatars, even a fool knows that given the character of the Tatars, if they fall into the hands of the Tatars, they will either be killed or become slaves.
There was some chaos in the capital, and some lawless people took advantage of the chaos to do evil. However, Zhu Houzhao had already expected this, and sent extra soldiers and horses to patrol. He attacked decisively and neatly killed a group of gangsters who took advantage of the situation and tried to do evil.
The situation in Beijing was over.
Hundreds of thousands of troops took action together, and in just two days, the entire city of Beijing turned into a tightly defended fortified city, with shining armor, neat ordnance, and cannons mounted on the city walls.
Especially the artillery built under the supervision of people sent by Chu Yi. Due to the pacification of Jiangnan, dozens of newly built artillery were not transported to Jiangnan, but were mounted on the city wall. Together with the artillery on the city of Beijing in the past, the number of artillery alone was
There are hundreds of doors.
The Ministry of War even moved out all kinds of firearms, armor, crossbows and other ordnance in stock, almost arming the city defenders to the teeth, just waiting for the Tatar army to come.
On this day, there was an extremely dull sound of earth shaking. Even standing on the city wall, one could feel the earth shaking caused by the galloping horses. Looking from a distance, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the black army was like a torrent.
Generally swept over.
