The palace lanterns on the Qinhuai River are bright, the flower boats are swaying, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and the laughter of guests are endless, and the prosperity of the night is even better than the sun.
Liu Mingyue, the first prostitute in Shanhefang, sang the popular "Peach Blossom Fan" in the past two years in a fascinating way. The melodious spring scenery is the most seductive, and sang the autumn night like a spring night.
Most of the princes in the boat are high-ranking officials and nobles; but if they look at them for a long time, they will know how small these so-called high-ranking officials and nobles are. Once the King of Han is defeated, can they still call the wind and rain on the Qinhuai River?
However, no one dares to despise it at the moment, so the famous prostitute Liu Mingyue, who is famous and proud, has to sing songs for these vulgar husbands.In addition to the high-ranking officials and nobles, there are also famous scholars, including Mr. Su: Mr. Su is famous in Fengyue Field and has the reputation of being a banished immortal in the song. The composer who created the Su-the-song genre with a peach blossom fan is Mr. Su.
But now few people remember the lyricist of this opera, Zhang Ning.
In fact, Zhang Ning is also a well-known figure nowadays, but his fame is not in the music, but in the upside down of Huguang.
There was such a beautiful scenery, but there was one person in the seat who was very unhappy, that is, Zhu Heng, Minister of War.
He threw the wine glass in his hand on the table, and suddenly he waved his sleeves. After walking out of the cabin, he found that it was the river with lights shining, otherwise he might have really brushed his sleeves away.
His friend who sat with him hurriedly clasped his fists to the princes present and said kindly: Shangshu Zhu is drunk, don’t mind everyone, I’ll go and take a look.
My friend followed him out and walked up to the deck and whispered: Many people in the officialdom have complained about Brother Zhu. It is better to be cautious. Why do you show your face to everyone on such occasions?
Drinking flowers and wine and singing songs, hum... Zhu Heng sneered, "The north bank of the river has been lost, and the imperial army is approaching. Is there anything worth being happy about now?"
My friend said bluntly: I think you are really drunk. Are you awake alone if everyone is drunk?Everyone knows that the situation is not going well, but everyone should be frowning and pretending because of this?
Zhu Heng pointed his finger at his nose and glared: You said I was pretending?
It's unpleasant to say good-hearted words. If we hadn't been with us for many years, I wouldn't have been lazy to talk about you.
My friend lowered his face and said, there are hundreds of civil servants and generals who can speak in front of the King of Han. Could it be that everyone is in vain? Only Brother Zhu or Li is useful?I advised Brother Zhu that if you do your own business, you should do whatever you want and have a good time.
He lowered his voice again and said, "When Le'an, someone was going to harm Brother Zhu, have you forgotten that?"
Zhu Heng shook his head.
Seeing this, my friend said angrily: If you have the ability, you can come up with a trick. How can you turn the tide?
Don't provoke me. I'm just trying to make a fuss about the prince. I'm not upset about this tonight, and I won't throw my cup.Zhu Hengdao.
Brother Zhu might as well tell me.
Zhu Heng pondered for a moment and said: From the defeat of Xuzhou to the opposite side of Jiang, he suffered repeated defeats. It is obvious that the current method will not work. Why don’t the army think about changing?To deal with the official army, the Hunan King in Huguang fought for ten thousand and ten thousand, and it took less than a month to capture a mansion. What is the mystery?
The friend retorted: What's the point of this? The Zhuque Army fought in Huguang with various people from various places, and we were facing the main force of the three major camps of the capital.
Zhu Hengdao: Brother Li said this and he was a layman. The soldiers naturally had different military disciplines and were good at fighting elite soldiers. However, the Beijing camp and local garrison soldiers belonged to the same set of laws and regulations, and there was no big difference between the troops and the formation.It is not worth noting that Huguang's Suzaku Army can defeat more with less at a time, but it must have its special advantages to defeating enemies that have several times more often.I have sent someone to find out clearly that Zhang Ning from Huguang has built a better firearm and set up a square array of long gun firearms to defeat the enemy. Not long ago, the imperial court secretly ordered the Nanzhen Fushi Office to supervise a batch of firearms, which was also unlucky with the news.
If we do not advance, we will retreat. When the Beijing camp obtains new firearms and use them to attack the river defense, our situation is even more worrying.In the current situation, the Han Palace must not be self-consistent and continue to move from the situation downward. It is time to look for a turning point.
His friend asked: What is the turning point that Brother Zhu is referring to?
Zhu Hengdao: Try to obtain the weapons and combat methods of the Zhuque Army as soon as possible to use them to fight against the Beijing camp, and try to change the current decline.
...There is nothing wrong with Zhu Heng's claim, but when he proposed to the King of Han how to implement this strategy, he caused a wave of public opinion.
The remarks of people always make people feel refreshed, and Zhu Heng is such a person.
He had done this once in Le'an, Shandong. When many families of the Han King's subordinates were in Le'an, Zhu Heng advocated avoiding the capital and marching south; although Zhang Ning later helped him realize his claim, he had this view from the beginning.
The King of Han had to go against the wishes of most people and adopted Zhu Heng's proposals, and it was difficult for even the King of Han to do so.
However, the facts proved that the Han King's uprising could last until now. The strategy advocated by Zhu Heng at that time played a crucial role; so even though Zhu Heng made many enemies in the officialdom, he was still valued in front of the Han King.
And this time the problem Zhu Heng raised was no easier for Zhu Gaoxu than the last time.
Zhu Heng looked back at many of His Highness’s people and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu: I believe that we can show goodwill with the Hunan King of Huguang and form an alliance with it. This is the fastest way for us to obtain the methods and tactics for firearm manufacturing.
The ministers in the hall were immediately in an uproar, and someone immediately stood up and said: Is King Xiang Zhang Ning?This person used our army to restrain the imperial military in Jiangdong and had the opportunity to cause trouble in Huguang, but in fact he was not a good person. Shangshu Zhu actually said he wanted to form an alliance with him. Wouldn't he laughed at the world?
Zhu Heng said calmly: Because King Xiang wanted to use the King of Han's troops to restrain the court, he would not want to see us defeated by the Beijing camp.As long as he takes the initiative to make an alliance, when the King of Hunan knows that the court is ready to imitate its sharp firearm, he will not help him; let alone even if the King of Hunan does not take the opportunity to incite, what are the benefits to the situation we face?I believe that using this to gain new tactics may be a turning point in the situation in Jiangdong.
The minister laughed and said: Shangshu Zhu’s words are really a loss of identity. How can one or two weapons control the military and national affairs?You're talking too much.
Zhu Hengdao: During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Zhao boldly improved his tactics, and was able to use Hu clothing and cavalry to shoot, which was stronger than the princes for a while. How could it be a joke?Lord Wang knows nothing about military affairs, but he talks a lot here. Isn’t it a joke?
Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han on the throne, was unquestionable. Many things made him feel a headache every day. After separating the country, he faced not only military issues, but also many troublesome things that disturbed people's minds, mainly the internal struggle, and the so-called strategy in front of him, which is actually intrigue.
The ministers opposed Zhu Heng, the Minister of War, and the King of Han did not agree.
The reasons for everyone's objection are actually the same, but it is not the excuse of "alliance with people who are not accused of being afraid of laughing about it" on the surface; the real reason can only be thought about in mind, and it is not easy to talk about it in public.
The joints are very simple: the King of Han and Emperor Xuande are both from the lineage of King Yàn; and Zhang Ning is under the banner of Jianwen.
Yàn Wang and Jianwen are two sides that are incompatible with water and fire, and there is no coexistence in theory.
The King of Han competed with Xuande for the world, but wanted to form an alliance with outsiders Jianwen. It would be difficult to make sense in public.This made Zhu Gaoxu's mind confused.
Although Zhu Heng was proficient in military tactics, he was still a civil servant who was fighting in the officialdom. How could he even imagine this truth?
Zhu Heng understood very well that Zhang Ning from Huguang was very good for the King of Han from a long-term perspective. Could it be that Jianwen's people were really tied with the son of King Yàn Zhu Di?
But Zhu Heng understood even more that the difficulties faced by the King of Han do not need to be considered in the long run, and he cannot overcome the obstacles of the Beijing Camp crossing the river attack. According to the current war process, it is only a matter of time before the King of Han was completely flattened, and that moment may not be as far as I imagined.
Zhu Heng felt that he was indeed planning for the King of Han.
Nanjing has become a death situation that is waiting for death. The dukes are still stubborn and considering the grievances of the previous dynasty. How can they be beneficial?
He inquired from many sources that he was still very promising for the newly emerging tactics, a formation that completely restrains infantry, and the Han King had a military capital that was twenty times stronger than Zhang Ning in Huguang. It was not completely impossible to reverse the current dead end.
And His Highness the King of Han, these ministers were extremely stupid in major matters, but they were extremely proficient in internal fighting.Zhu Heng had long been dissatisfied.
Let's discuss it the next day.
Zhu Gaoxu finally spoke to stop everyone's argument.
He can't tell who is right and who is wrong now. Zhu Heng seems to have some reason when talking about the truth; but the issue of justice that the ministers opposed cannot be ignored. Where can there be a ridiculous thing about Yongle's son suddenly running to meet Jianwen's son?
Zhu Heng sighed inwardly and had to bow to the King of Han with the others.
Zhu Heng was also helpless, and he was definitely the number one criminal in the court. Even when he had not rebelled with the King of Han before, he had no way out in the court. The system of selecting talents was destined to be a lucky person like Zhu Heng, who was specially favored by those who had no background and had no top imperial examinations, and it was useless for you to think of yourself than Kong Ming.
He followed the Han King to raise an army, but he also foresaw that even his current fame, wealth could not be guaranteed.
Zhang Ning in the west, Zhu Heng was not optimistic, not because he despised Zhang Ning's strength. It was really true that he was in front of him: as long as the King of Han fell, the main force of the court would definitely go west and completely pacify Huguang. With Zhang Ning's territory and military strength, how could he block the strong strength of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty?
So Zhu Heng was very unhappy, and even though he was rich and well-off, he was still depressed.
Liu Mingyue, the first prostitute in Shanhefang, sang the popular "Peach Blossom Fan" in the past two years in a fascinating way. The melodious spring scenery is the most seductive, and sang the autumn night like a spring night.
