Chapter 202 History has no if

8days ago Historical fiction 7
At this time, Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji was not in the capital, but in Xuzhou; the three camps had easily captured the city, and he was in the army.

Xuzhou is really not a good place. It can be said to be a place of four battles. The troops advancing south or expeditions are passing through this place.

The main force of the Northern Army occupied Xuzhou, which was the first to show its offensive posture and to show the people of the world that the court still had an advantage.British Duke Zhang Fu suggested that he should take down Huai'an Prefecture first, and Zhu Zhanji obeyed his advice.

After the civil war expanded, Zhu Zhanji was actually unable to serve as the military commander. His ability to command the army was limited and he had self-knowledge, so most of the military operations followed Zhang Fu's advice, and the British Duke almost held the decision-making power of the army.

That is the emperor who came here to do this?

Of course not. In the court, the civil officials such as Sanyang and Xia Yuanji unanimously asked the emperor to lead the army in person. It is not unreasonable. The monarch and ministers are well aware of the mystery of it.

A soldier is a place of life and death. The master general who can be used is not found casually. Emperor Xuande has just ascended the throne, and his best choice is the veterans on the battlefield from the Yongle era. There are not many people who are qualified and capable of leading 200,000 elite soldiers. The British Duke Zhang Fu is the most suitable candidate.

British Duke Zhang Fu, his father, Zhang Yu, died in the battle of Jingnan; General Hu Zi, Zhang Fu inherited his father's ambition and fought south and north during almost the entire Yongle era, north to Mongolia and south to Vietnam. He showed his high military talent in many wars, won him prestige in the army and created a generation of famous generals.

At this time, Emperor Xuande needed him very much, and of course he did not believe that Zhang Fu would turn to the King of Han.

However, even so, Emperor Xuande would still be afraid if he wanted to hand over the three camps completely to Zhang Fu's hands; it was like someone was holding a gun at you, and you believed that he would not shoot, but he would still be afraid...

If Zhang Fu led the three camps to join the King of Han, the competition would really be over.

This is why Zhu Zhanji personally led the army...

Because Zhang Fu is also a military general and has a little friendship with Zhu Gaoxu, there are many military generals in the three camps; and the one who defected to the King of Han is also a military general.

The main reason for the expansion of this civil war is that most of the generals stood on the side of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han, but few civil officials.

If the generals guarding the city in Nanjing did not easily turn against each other, it would be difficult for the Han King to capture Nanjing with the troops brought by Shandong alone.

No matter how powerful Zhu Gaoxu was, it would be almost impossible to defeat Nanjing City, which was heavily defended for half a year, and it would be difficult to cross the river; if he could not take Nanjing, there would be nothing to fight in this civil war.

History was a big joke. Zhu Gaoxu easily occupied Nanjing, causing a civil war to gradually expand and could evolve into the scale of the Jingnan Campaign; perhaps it was not a joke, Zhu Gaoxu's reputation in the army was incomparable to a young emperor.

……

Zhu Zhanji sat on the lobby seat of the Xuzhou government office, and a group of officials below the prefect kneeled there again.

This group of people who are officials in Xuzhou this year are really unlucky. First, the King of Han may be killed when he comes; now the people from the court are coming again, so they are obviously charged with surrendering to the enemy's rebellion against the court.

The prefect lay on the ground and defended himself in a nearly begging tone: General Zhou Yuji was ordered to block the rebels of the King of Han, but he did not resist for even a day. The entire army was disintegrated and there was no soldiers to defend in Xuzhou City.The criminals and others wanted to recruit civilians and strong men to guard the city, but were worried that the city would be destroyed and the people in the city would be affected by the expedient means, so they pretended to surrender to the King of Han, waiting for the king's army to recover the lost territory...

Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on the seat, listened patiently to their defense, of course he did not believe it.These officials surrendered to protect the people?This reason for false benevolence and false righteousness is too naive.

Zhu Zhanji became even more angry after hearing this excuse: these killers are insulting my IQ.

But he didn't want to cure their sins immediately.

If the surrendered officials were now launched, they would definitely encounter strong resistance when they recovered the city of surrendering the King of Han in the future. The soldiers and officials who guarded the city knew that the imperial army would die when they came, so why didn't they resist to the death?

Zhu Zhanji turned his head to look at Yang Rong who was standing in the lobby. Seeing that he shook his head slightly, he interrupted the lies of apology from the prefect and said: Although you are guilty, you will not die. You will continue to take charge of the Xuzhou affairs for the time being. After the Ministry of Personnel’s discussion, you will be punished.All go down.

The emperor had already made a decision in his heart, but he still solicited Yang Rong's opinions on details.

Make a look?

It's not just about being a show.

San Yang The relationship was not close at the beginning. In fact, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi had some conflicts, although Yang Shiqi had tried to repair the relationship several times...

When the prefect heard that the Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the punishment, he was overjoyed. He definitely didn't need to be beheaded. He might just be demoted and demoted, and at most he would be dismissed. In short, it would be a hundred times better than just throwing the imperial prison and waiting for the three judicial reviews, and then beheading or even implicating his family.

The emperor is kind and the criminals thank the emperor for not killing him.The officials hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and didn't want to tell them anything.

He still has a lot of things to work hard, and even in the army, he still has to deal with other state affairs; just like his grandfather, Emperor Yongle, often led his army outside, and memorials were sent to the army.

The main event was war. In addition to the biggest war in the rebellion of the Han King, there were also the Songban Rebellion and the Miaojiang Rebellion in the southwest...

The war against the Vietnamese in the south was not smooth, and the troops were unable to withdraw for a while; the situation in Urianha in the north was not very stable.

When Zhu Zhanji had just sat on the throne of the Forbidden City, he thought he should be a king who was in a successful position, and he could not choose. But soon his empire was in chaos, and it seemed that he would be a king who was in a stable position for the time being.

In fact, influenced by Grandpa Yongle, Zhu Zhanji regarded Zhu Di as a great hero he admired since childhood. He always dreamed that he could become a wise emperor like his grandfather and establish immortal achievements; he formed his character of being very fond of merit, but later he found that his era would not give him a chance...

But now that he has a place to use it, he feels that this is the luck?

Or unfortunate?

Zhu Zhanji put down his red pen to review the memorials, pondering and thinking about something.The court officials standing beside him calmed down and did not dare to disturb him.

This war has its inevitability, and after all, it is a continuation of the problems left over from Taizu's mistakes.

When Taizu attacked the heroes and nobles, he was unwilling to face his sons' ambition rationally, giving the sons of the vassal kings too much power and military power.

The problem broke out just after Taizu died. After four years of fighting in the Jingnan Campaign, Taizu's children and grandchildren killed each other, and hundreds of thousands of people fought to the death in the empire. More than 20 years have passed, the problem has not been completely solved. Now 200,000 Beijing camp troops are entering Xuzhou, and the bleeding continues.

If Zhang Ning had not arrived in Le'an, what would happen next?Zhu Zhanji said it in a tone of self-talking.

The officials below turned their heads slightly to look at Yang Shiqi, and Yang Shiqi looked embarrassed and silent...

What does Zhang Ning do to me do?

Is it because I once wanted to marry my adopted daughter to that person?

This relationship is too far-fetched, and the engagement has been cancelled.

History has no if.

Just as the historians would never say, what would happen if An Lushan was blocked in Tongguan in the Tang Dynasty? These are meaningless.

The bureaucrats and politicians and emperors of the dynasties were summarizing experiences and lessons from historical books. They would rather believe that everything has deep reasons and try to find the laws and concepts of seizing the world and governing the country from it; if it is too meaningless.

Therefore, none of the court ministers below Zhu Zhanji spoke, and none of them were willing to answer the strange questions raised by the emperor.

There is a kind of power in the dark, which is mastering the rules, determining the fate of the tiny people and the destiny of the country.

Zhu Zhanji came to his senses and did not ask the ministers to answer his previous question. He began to face more practical questions.

Although the Songban rebellion was serious, Zhu Zhanji immediately decided that there was no need to pay too much attention to this matter, let alone be nervous.

The place in Songban is mainly caused by Tibetans. Tibetans could also threaten the central government during the Tang Dynasty, but it will not work since then. They will not be able to become a major threat to the Central Plains. It will be resolved earlier and later that it will not hinder the result.

Zhu Zhanji threw Songfan's memorial aside and could pass it back to the capital and let the Ministry of War send a general to take charge.

Next was the rebellion in Huguang and Miaojiang. The Miao people in that place raised more than once since the founding of the country. Of course, they failed every time, because the terrain was complex, which lasted for several years and were quickly resolved...

The same principle as the Tibetans in Songban, the Miao people cannot make a difference.

For thousands of years, the Han people have continuously occupied the living space on the mainland, and the development of other races on the land of Jiuzhou has been far behind. It is not possible to change the general trend in just a few rebellions.

Zhu Zhanji picked up the note and was about to throw it into the one just now when he suddenly put it down again.

He recalled another report from the Ministry of War, where Shimen County, Huguang was violated by the rebels; there was also a secret report from the Jinyiwei that the rebels who attacked the city were people who warded off the cults, in order to rescue the captured accomplices.

Although the news in the Tang newspaper was only a small-scale rebellion, it did not hinder Zhu Zhanji's attention.

The cult warding is found to be related to the remnants of Jianwen...

Not only that, the rebel party that Zhang Ning colluded with may also be a cult ward off.

Zhu Zhanji did not think that Jianwen's remnants still had a chance to recover, but it did not affect his desire to kill those people in the early stages.

He thought for a while, then looked up and asked: Zhu Yong is now in the northern border?

A minister of the Ministry of War came out to worship: If you go back to the emperor, he was indeed leading troops in the three guards of Duoyan.

Zhu Zhanji made a quick decision: Let the Ministry of War recommend someone to go, replace Zhu Yong, and change him to the general officer of Wuling... He was about to let Zhu Yong meet the saint, but then he thought it was too complicated, so he could find someone eunuch to bring him a secret order.

Zhu Yong, the son of Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng, Duke Chengguo, was a famous general in the Jingnan Battle: in the Zhending Battle, defeated Geng Bingwen; in the Zhengcunba Battle, defeated Li Jinglong; in the Baigouhe Battle, defeated Ping'an; in the rescue of Emperor Yongle...

Conquered Dong'e, Dongping and Feishui; defeated more than 100,000 official troops in the battle of Feishui; captured Ping'an and other 100,000 people...

Although Zhu Yong did not have so many famous military achievements as his father, his knowledge of military affairs and wars after becoming a famous general is far beyond ordinary people's reach.
