Chapter 455 Never hesitate

7days ago Historical fiction 7
Zhang Sheng, who had been sent to the Nanchang Mansion of Jiangxi Provincial Administration and gave gifts to Ning Wang Zhu Quan, returned to Yunnan.The gift was written by Du Qianrui, so that King Xie Ning made a play for her.

Zhang Sheng brought back two bad news.

King Ning accepted the playbook, but politely refused Zhu Gaoxu's favor.

Such a result was originally expected, and Zhu Gaoxu did not have much hope before.

At this time, King Ning was much smarter than King Ning in the era of Tang Bohu.

On the morning when the sun was rising, the temperature gradually rose, and the heat aggravated Zhu Gaoxu's irritability.

In the study, Zhang Sheng was telling his experiences in the Ning Palace. When he was about to meet King Ning, King Ning was wearing a Taoist robe and was discussing Taoism with the Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu in the Danfang.The last general presented the play copy written by Mrs. Du. Before the last general could speak, King Ning said that he had found the great way of Taoism and had no intention of mundane things.

At the end, please take a step to speak, and Master Zhang leaves.

At the end of the general, King Ning compiled a play for Mrs. Du, making Mrs. Du famous, which is known to everyone in the world. King Ning had a close relationship with the uncle and nephew of the King of Han, and could not hide it from the court, for fear that the court would be unfavorable to King Ning.

There are many Jinyiwei in the palace, all because the court distrusts.

Ning Wang said that he only had hundreds of guards now and could not help the King of Han. He was already pure in his heart and had few desires and devoted himself to practicing Taoism, and was worried that it would harm the Taoism in the worldly disputes...

To this day, the vassal kings' guards have been more or less weakened; but the one who has been cut most thoroughly is the Ning King who is expected to divide the world equally, with only a few hundred guards left.

For other vassal kings, after reasons such as the Battle of Annan and the preparation of borders, the number of guards in a vassal state was reduced sharply, and the maximum number was no more than 10,000; except for Zhu Gaoxu's third brother, King Zhao.

The situation is still unclear, and the whole world is watching. Perhaps the next change in the situation is the key.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered the King of Shu who had been acting like to assassinate him before. At this time, he heard King Ning's posture of hanging up and thought to himself: I'm afraid there are more than two of them who have the same idea as King Ning of Shu.

Then Zhang Sheng talked about some military information.

During this trip, Zhang Sheng went to the secret branch base of the North Branch of the Guardian Prefecture in Huguang and Jiangxi, and then returned to Yunnan after collecting some information.

Compared with previous deployments, the enemy has new trends.

On the other side of Huguang, some troops from Jingzhou Prefecture and Wuchang Prefecture are being transferred to the south, and Changsha Prefecture, Tanzhou, Hengzhou and other places are increasing their troops.

The Jiangxi Provincial Administration Commission also transferred some troops and marched south to the Shaozhou Prefecture area.

Such a situation made Zhu Gaoxu wonder whether the Huguang strategy formulated by the Han Palace not long ago was leaked!?

But he immediately judged that leaking secrets was definitely impossible.

First of all, if time does not match, the court cannot receive secret reports and make transfers within a short period of time.

Secondly, there are very few people who know that strategy at present. All of them will definitely be killed if the Han Wang Army fails. The possibility of their secret leaks is too small.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked at Zhang Sheng and said: General Zhang’s errands are doing well.You had previously negotiated with the Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Cheng and persuaded the commander of the Guizhou Army Lu Bing to lead the entire guards to surrender. They were all doing their best and made great contributions.I will be promoted to the garrison of the North Secretariat of the Guardian.

Zhang Shengxi said: Finally, I will cultivate Prince Xie!

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and Zhang Sheng bowed and retreated.

Zhu Gaoxu signaled Wang Gui to come closer and said in a deep voice: Do your godson Cao Fu know Huang Yan beside my third brother?

Wang Gui bowed and said: I know him.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I asked Zhang Sheng to send a few people to escort him, and asked Cao Fu to try to go to Peking.

Wang Gui immediately replied: I then told Cao Fu and asked him to prepare his itinerary.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and looked at a map on the table.

He gradually realized that the military mobilization of the court should be a decision made based on the situation.

Zhu Gaoxu launched a war of crimes, with his actual goal being to seize the capital of the Ming Dynasty and drive the pseudo-emperor off the throne.

The capital was in the east, and the direction was roughly inferred from the three southwest provinces.

If it goes north to Hanzhong, it will be completely different, and it is not easy to break through the Daba Mountains and Qinling Mountains, so it is unlikely.

The navy of the Han Wang Army was a big problem and the disadvantage was too great.

There is a snow-river mountain range to the east of Guizhou, and even merchants and messengers are unwilling to cross the mountains. It is almost impossible to go through a large army... Only the central road to Huguang and the south direction of Guangxi, so the imperial court's mobilization is reasonable.

The situation is quite unfavorable to Zhu Gaoxu.

Although once the Han Wang Army is dispatched, marches and supplies of more than 200,000 cannot be hidden from the enemy's eyes and ears, they will always be exposed; but Zhu Gaoxu's intention seems to have been guessed by the other party more than a month ago!

This difference is very big, because it takes a long time for both sides to mobilize the army. It is difficult to make sufficient preparations if the enemy only makes temporary mobilization and deployment.

At this moment, Mr. Li walked into the study with a stack of things.

He bent his waist, made etiquette, and immediately said straight to the point: The report sent by Governor Wei, please check it out.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and continued, spread the letter paper and read it.

Veda wrote: In early May, the Queen of Xiping sent people to exchange people with Zhang He east of Kuizhou Prefecture.

The person sent by Zhang He is not as Ma family after Jianwen.

The last general knew afterwards that it was not convenient to question the Queen of Xiping, so he had to send someone to report to the prince.

Zhu Gaoxu's left cheek moved the corner of his mouth and suddenly twitched slightly.

He looked up at Mr. Li and saw that Mr. Li was standing there and had no intention of speaking.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I ordered Mu Sheng to fully deal with the matter in advance, so it is also possible that Mu Sheng thought the Ma family was not important, so he made concessions.

Mr. Li nodded and said: What the prince said makes sense... Even without Queen Ma, our conditions are very harsh. The pseudo-emperor in the capital agreed. What does the late emperor really get poisoned?

Zhu Gaoxu said: It’s almost impossible to separate.

Mr. Li has been very busy recently. Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to say, he folded his fists and said goodbye.

Zhu Gaoxu really has nothing to say. Mu Sheng was just not completely obedient in a certain detail. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't just fight with him and turn to deal with Mu Sheng?

Maybe because Zhu Gaoxu was upset today, he couldn't help but think more when he saw this news.

The people in the court should have had a renegotiation with Mu Sheng, so they can bargain; the key is that the person who was exchanged has little to do with Mu Sheng, so why did Mu Sheng compromise?

Zhu Gaoxu even worried that if the Huguang War fails, Mu Sheng will directly control Sichuan, Yunnan and other places and rebel against the court when Mu Sheng sees the situation is wrong?

Mufu has a great influence in the western Sichuan and Yunnan Provincial Administration and the General Office.

Now Mu Sheng is in Chengdu City, and in the family of Mu Mansion in Kunming, his younger brothers Mu Ang and Mu Xin are also present.

Once the main force of the Han Wang Army expeditions eastward and leaves the southwest region, it would be difficult to stop the Mu Mansion if it was determined to rebel.

Usually, Zhu Gaoxu still trusts Mu Sheng very much, because even if Mu Sheng surrenders to the court, he will probably not have good results; but he cannot guarantee that Mu Sheng will still be so loyal when the failure of the war against crime is almost a foregone conclusion.

Will Mu Sheng grab a life-saving straw when there is no way and express his intention to make up for his merits and demerits to the court?In that case, Zhu Gaoxu would be miserable. He would fail in the front and lose his lair in the rear!

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu could not deceive himself. He had already begun to question his decisions and goals in his heart.

When he was in front of his brothers and brothers, Zhu Gaoxu always acted firm and tenacious.

Except for a very few people close to you, from generals to soldiers, they probably think that the King of Han is always right in using troops!

He never hesitates or is never confused. He can always grasp the truth and implement the initial strategy to the end.

These were several great victories on the battlefield, and the confidence injected into the soldiers.

Just like in the recent Southwest Battle, Zhu Gaoxu used more than 100,000 troops to fight against the enemy's troops with more than 300,000 troops.

Common sense is an impossible battle to win, but Zhu Gaoxu uses facts to tell his brothers that he has a way to win!

People always use experience to understand the world and people.

However, Zhu Gaoxu knew very well what he was, at least he was not a god at all. Not only is hesitant and worried, he also believes that the previous battles have luck.

If the reinforcements commander of Guizhou were not Wu Gao, if there were more serious problems with the transmission of Guizhou to Yunnan, if the battle was postponed for a period of time and Zhang Fujun from Jiaozhi Province had to stockpile enough military rations first... the results of the battle may be huge, and any difference in details may cause overall chaos.

This is why he has been through no less than a hundred battles of all sizes and sizes, and he is still worried every time he fights. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and some factors are completely uncontrollable by human will.

Zhu Gaoxu sat next to the big table in the middle of the study for a long time, silent for a long time, neither reading the memorial nor doing anything.

In his chaotic thoughts, he finally found what he was waiting for in his heart: he was waiting for the upper-level decisions from the capital to send the enemy troops.

The Ming Dynasty court had a system, and the military orders for dispatching troops came from the Ministry of War and were then conveyed by the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

But these two yamen are just institutions for execution and transmission. The real decision-makers are the emperor and the emperor's confidant ministers, not limited to official positions.

The son-in-law Wang Ning has devoted himself to Buddhism in recent years. His son and Zhu Gaoxu's cousin Wang Zhenliang have been transferred from the Governor's Office of the Five Army and have been strictly guarded by the Jinyiwei!

Because Zhu Gaochi knew about Gao Xu and Wang Zhenliang's relationship, the three brothers fled from the capital during the Jianwen period, and Wang Zhenliang helped a lot.

Qiu Fu was even more unlikely to participate in major military events, and every move was monitored the most strictly.

However, Zhu Gaoxu still had a card in his hand: He Fu.

There are very few people who know about this matter, and the court should still know nothing.

According to the principle, He Fu should have tried to send news recently.

Zhu Gaoxu had a contact base in the capital, and the most important place was the jade shop he personally organized. Chen Dachui also rushed to the capital before.
