If there are no righteous ministers in the court and there are traitors inside, you must raise troops to punish them to clear the king’s side!
This is what the emperor's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang said in person. Perhaps his original intention was to establish an eight hundred-year country like the Zhou emperor, and even ambition was to be a thousand-year empire.
However, it was useless. Before a thousand years had passed, Zhu Yuanzhang had just been buried in the ground for a year, and the war fires ignited again and quickly burned from the palace to the four fields.
Peking officials Zhang Bing and Xie Gui were lured and executed.
That night, Zhu Neng, deputy Qianhou, led hundreds of people, shouted the slogan of Taizu, and seized the nine major gates of the important city in Peking!
The entire battle was at the cost of injuring one person, and it was soon over.
The only difference between King Yàn and other vassal kings is not how strong he is in actual restraint, but that he has led troops in the north all year round and established a deep military popularity.
The banner tree of Fengtian Jingnan arrived at the city towers of various Beiping. Standing from the perspective of the legal height and righteousness of Taizu's ancestral teachings, the manifesto that denounced the treacherous ministers as the precepts of the treacherous ministers was quickly posted.
King Yàn integrated the army and aroused morale, and the entire Peking was shrouded in fanaticism.
Within two days, King Yàn led his men out of the city to fight Song Zhong's 30,000 troops.
Song Zhong spread rumors that the King Yàn killed the family of the Imperial Army in his army to boost morale. Unexpectedly, when the two armies faced each other, the families of the Imperial Army appeared in front of the battle formation.
Song Zhongjun collapsed quickly and King Yàn won a great victory.
In less than a month, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Miyun, Juyongguan, Huailai, Yongping Prefecture... were successively included in the bag of King Yàn. King Gu abandoned his fiefdom and fled. The flag of Fengtian Jingnan spread across the North China Plain like wildfire, and it had become a prairie fire.
The front of the war has quickly opened up, and all other ways to solve the problem have become vague. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, an unprecedented war has been inevitable.
Zhu Gaoxu saw King Yàn's methods with his own eyes, and he only felt one thing in his heart: in the world, it is impossible to have no routine, and King Yàn's rebellion routine is very stable and well-organized.
……
Before dawn in the capital, the sky was pitch black.But outside Donghua Gate was already full of civil servants of all colors, waiting at the closed city gate to open the door and go to court.
Countless lanterns and torches illuminated the surrounding ground, and the faces of the officials were very solemn under the fire. The war news in the north had already spread throughout the capital.
Every day, the ponds in various places flew into the government offices in the capital like snowflakes. Everyone knew that the situation was not very good, and most of them were reports of surrender and rebellion.
The time has not arrived yet, and no one can get in.However, at this time, several people had already taken them into the palace from other gates.
The emperor didn't close his eyes all night.The eunuch Wu Zhong said softly.
At this moment, Huang Zicheng accidentally discovered that Qi Tai had a pale face, his steps were not very steady, and his hands in his sleeves were even a little shaking.
Huang Zicheng suddenly felt unhappy and said to himself: Are you still in charge of the Ministry of War, so timid?
Qibu Hall, Ministry Hall... Huang Zicheng called out twice.
Qi Tai then came to his senses and turned to look at Huang Zicheng: What?
What is Qibutang thinking?Huang Zicheng asked casually.
Qi Tai murmured: I really have become like this if I don’t want to do it... Maybe our strategy is not safe, or something small is not very comprehensive, and there is something wrong with time...
Huang Zicheng rebuked a sound from the tip of his tongue and said: King Yàn has long been ambitious and full of resentment. He wants to rebel, can you and I stop him?Qibutang stopped thinking about the past. Now he is attacking a corner of the world. It is the main thing to think about the candidates to suppress the rebellion.
Fang Xiaoru, who was walking behind, said: As a minister, if he is not loyal to the monarch, he should be punished by heaven and earth!
After a while, they entered the imperial gate, but when they saw the candlelight, the emperor was already sitting on the imperial throne and waiting.The emperor did not move, as if he had been sitting there all the time.
After a few people bowed to him, Zhu Yunwen, the voice of the superior Zhu, asked directly: Who is the head coach?
Huang Zicheng turned to look at Qi Tai, Minister of War. Qi Tai had no intention of saying a word. Huang Zicheng stood up and bowed: I recommend Duke Cao Li Jinglong.
Zhu Yunwen did not answer.
At this time, Qi Tai finally spoke: Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen.
There were only a few people in the Imperial Sect that could accommodate all civil and military officials, and it seemed empty. At this time, there were only a few people talking and suddenly it was very lonely.
Zhu Yunwen's voice said: Changxing Hou is in his sixties, can he still lead his troops?There are thousands of civil and military talents in the court, but no one can use it?
Qi Tai hurriedly said: Of course there are many people. In the temple, I can easily count dozens or hundreds of talented people, but Changxing Hou is famous and it is easier to command all the people.
Qi Tai paused for a moment and said: Master, I have looked at the reports of the ponds in Beiping and other places, and found that Yàn was occupying the cities without any stroke, and many surrendered.It was just because Yàn Ni was the descendant of Taizu that the officials were unstable and had no intention of fighting.
At this time, the court led all directions across the country and controlled one million; while the rebellion was only one place in Peking, and tens of thousands of people were used.The imperial government army only needs to attack head-on, relying on its power of being dozens of times better, and with the power of Mount Tai to suppress the top, it can be pacified... As long as the official army does not surrender, it will be a battle that will surely win!
Several people around nodded, agreeing with Qi Tai's judgment.
Seeing this, Qi Tai said jokingly: Therefore, there is no need to be a talented person to suppress the rebellion, but only to be loyal to the emperor.A loyal general is the most important person at this time.
The eldest son of Changxing Marquis married the princess of the emperor and the princess of Jiangdu, and was the princess of the emperor's marriage.Now, Yàn rebels against the priest and fights between two sides. With the identity of Changxing Hou, he must be loyal to the priest and have no reason to surrender to the priest.
At this time, Huang Zicheng also said: I will discuss it.
After hearing the two of them, Zhu Yunwen quickly agreed: Good!
Zhu Yunwen asked Wu Zhong again: Has Changxing Hou come to court?
Eunuch Wu Zhong said: Go back to the emperor, Changxing Hou came early in the morning, and now outside Xihua Gate, waiting to open the door.
It was still not dawn at this time, and it was not yet time for the court, and Zhu Yunwen's ruler and his minister had been discussing the matter for a long time.Zhu Yunwen said: The Marquis of Xuan Changxing will first meet.
The servants obey the order.
After waiting for a while, a burly old man walked out of the imperial gate with his head held high. His hair and beard were almost all white under his black official hat, and his face with a national character, his steps were steady and steady.
Who is Geng Bingwen, the man who came here?
Geng Bingwen strided into the imperial gate, kneeled down while saying with great enthusiasm: The old minister bowed to the emperor, long live the emperor!
Old general, don't kneel.Zhu Yunwen said in his voice.
Geng Bingwen easily held his body and clasped his fists and said: The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness.
At this time, Qi Tai's voice said: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
Geng Bingwen raised his long white eyebrows, Qibutang was dissatisfied?Why don’t we go outside the Imperial Gate and practice now?
Qi Tai was not angry either, waved his hand and smiled: I admit defeat!As a civil servant, how could I compete with the veteran general?
snort!Geng Bingwen made a voice.
Zhu Yunwen said in his voice: Old General, don’t get me wrong. It was the Secretary of Qi who recommended you to take charge of the rebellion.At first, I was worried that the old general would be older, but now it seems that he is getting stronger.
The Northern Expedition of King Yàn?After Geng Bingwen said that, he pondered for a moment, Master, the old minister said something.
Please speak, old general.Zhu Yunwen said.
Geng Bingwen said: The old minister's old bones can still be used in battle.However, the old minister was self-aware. He followed the Emperor's ancestors to fight south and north, and there were many big and big battles. The old ministers did not dare to be arrogant and boast about it. Most of them had mediocre achievements... The most proud person in his life was to defend Chang'an Prefecture with thousands of troops and resist the siege of more than 100,000 troops for more than a month!
Therefore, I think I am good at defending but not good at attacking.Now the king is stolen and the emperor wants to mobilize troops to attack, but the old minister is not a good choice.
Qi Tai hurriedly said: The old general must not refuse, let the emperor down.In this battle, the veteran general only needs to use his troops regularly and will be defeated.
Geng Bingwen shook his head and clasped his fists to the upper hand and said: It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the imperial ancestor. Although there were no more than one in ten veterans at that time, there were billions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and there were talents from all over the country. For example, Sheng Yong, the old ministers asked for recommendation.
The superior asked: Sheng Yong?What official position is it?
Qi Tai replied: Go back to the emperor and become the commander of the capital.
Geng Bingwen hurriedly said: Although Sheng Yong is not at a high position, he is clear about the situation, calm and calm, not greedy for merit or acts in a rash manner, and is actually a general!
The superior said: I am afraid I cannot command all the generals.
Qi Tai also advised: The old general, don’t refuse!
Geng Bingwen was stunned for a while, and had to hold his fists and say: Old minister is appointed!
Soon, the sky was getting brighter.The gate of the imperial city opened, and all civil and military officials entered through the east and west gates and came to see each other for worship.
Fang Xiaoru first stepped out and scolded the rebels such as Yàn to make a bloody head.
He also criticized the manifesto of King Yàn one by one, citing the classics and citing Taizu's teachings, and instead scolded King Yàn.
From the perspective of legal principles and morality, let King Yàn die on the pillar of shame of disloyalty, moral corruption, ambition, and doing evil!
So the central court of the Ming Dynasty regained the righteousness of light, and the official army once again became a righteous army.
With great righteousness, the emperor worshipped Geng Bingwen as the General of the Conquest, and specially ordered Sheng Yong and other generals and other generals to mobilize the army immediately.Choose a day to vow to fight the rebellion with a dignified and righteous official army and go north to quell the rebellion!
Geng Bingwen hurriedly said goodbye to his family, prepared the Ministry of War’s official documents, commander seals, king’s orders, imperial edicts and other things, and prepared to leave the capital.
The deputy generals and Sheng Yong and other participating generals came to Geng Bingwen's mansion before going to the war, worshiped the wharf, and went to the battlefield to cooperate.Following the visits of the future were the irrelevant Xu Huizu.
When Geng Bingwen saw Xu Huizu, he didn't understand why and couldn't figure out what it meant.
Geng Bingwen knew that in front of the emperor, he had thought of recommending Xu Huizu, which was much more prestige than Sheng Yong's identity and prestige; but thinking that his girl was the wife of King Yàn, Geng Bingwen quickly gave up to avoid making things boring.
At the mansion, Geng Bingwen greeted everyone and retreated to the yard behind, and met Xu Huizu and Sheng Yong again.
After all, Xu Huizu is a Duke, and Geng Bingwen cannot rely on his seniority and he will be too contemptuous of him.
This is what the emperor's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang said in person. Perhaps his original intention was to establish an eight hundred-year country like the Zhou emperor, and even ambition was to be a thousand-year empire.
However, it was useless. Before a thousand years had passed, Zhu Yuanzhang had just been buried in the ground for a year, and the war fires ignited again and quickly burned from the palace to the four fields.
