Bright Spring

For example, Tan Zhong (whose father, Tan Yuan, died in battle), was immediately reinstated as Marquis of Chong'an because he committed a murder case and was demoted to be an uncle; He was conferred the title of Marquis; Chen Mao, the son of Chen Heng, Duke of Jing, who made great military exploits, was deposed as a hereditary uncle, and was soon promoted to Marquis of Ningyang; The title of Marquis Yuan.

Because of Gao Chi's ascension to the throne, everyone has received real benefits, and their previous achievements have been recognized, and they are all grateful to the present.

So most of these civil and military people in Beijing don't believe in the murder of the king and father at all.Such rebellious and insane things as killing one's father were completely tolerated and extremely rare in the Ming Dynasty.Would Gao Chi, who has always had a reputation for benevolence, do this?It's hard to believe.It seems even more impossible for so many members of the East Palace who read sage books to conspire to do such a thing!

Coupled with the fact that a large group of civil servants, Guozijian students, and literati in the capital presented evidence and confessions, as well as the public opinion of various articles; people basically believed that murdering the king and killing his father was just an excuse for the vassal king to rebel.Perhaps the old officials of the East Palace did do some shameful things, but it didn't affect everyone's salary and promotion, so it didn't matter.

In the past few months since I ascended the throne today, I have indeed done a lot of things that are beneficial to the stability of the throne...

However, there is only one exception, who does not belong to any of these four types of people, and that is Xu Huizu.

This person is a general, but he is not a member of Yan Wangfu.Xu Huizu has attracted everyone's attention, after all, he is the eldest son of the god enshrined in the Chenghuang Temple!Moreover, he was extremely tall, and his burly figure surpassed everyone in Fengtianmen.

It is rumored that Xu Huizu was very good at fighting, but the "Battle of Jingnan" had no record at all because he was suspected by the weak Emperor Jianwen.

The military generals were a little nervous when they saw Xu Huizu, but when they thought that if the King of Han came to Beijing, they, who were reused by Emperor Hongxi and who had just been promoted to ranks, would definitely be beaten back to their original forms and give way to the Hanwang Palace; The old grievances also seem to have become thinner... After all, not many generals who were actually guards of the Yan Palace have survived until now; many of the so-called "Jingnan Heroes" are generals of the Jianwen Dynasty who surrendered, sooner or later.

After everyone waited for a while, Zhu Gaochi entered from the north entrance of Fengtian Gate and stepped onto the throne above.

"Your ministers will kowtow to the Holy Majesty, long live the Holy Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Excuse me." Zhu Gaochi breathed a little, "Today's discussion, I want to understand what you love about the counter-insurgency strategy. There are two strategies, you should listen to them first." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of War Jin Zhong here.

Jin Zhong unfolded a memorial and began to read Zhang Fu's words, but of course he did not read the complaints.After reading, Xu Huizu came out and talked about another strategy in public.

The inside of the imperial gate gradually became noisy, with people talking and whispering.It seems that today's two strategies cannot make everyone agree; perhaps only simple and clear military and political views can avoid disputes, and the strategy of the Great War obviously does not belong to this category.

...Jin Zhong was only responsible for reading Zhang Fu's memorial, and he remained silent after reading.

The main thing on his mind now is not the big strategy that people care about, but the "deal" that Xu Huizu said on the stone steps of the imperial gate.

The superficial meaning of the transaction, Xu Huizu said that he would take the Qian Changshi from the Han Palace in exchange for Guo Zi who was captured by the rebels. If the conditions are not enough, other things can be added.But Jin Zhong felt at the time that the transaction Xu Huizu mentioned was not just referring to the imperial court and the Han Palace!

How strange it would be if it were so simple!What does Guo Zi's life and death have to do with Xu Huizu?The two of them have absolutely nothing to do with each other, a civil servant and a noble have very different identities, Guo Zi is worthless to Xu Huizu.

Guo Zi is only useful to Jin Zhong, Yuan Gong and others. Not only do they get along well in Beiping, they are also important allies in a series of political opinions and strategies.After losing Guo Zi, Jin Zhong felt that the strength of his limbs seemed to be a lot smaller...

Jin Zhong frowned and thought hard, and thought for a while again: not only Guo Zi was involved in this transaction, but also Shi Qianxun, the governor of the Han Dynasty.

Qian Xun was betrayed by Zhang Fu and mercilessly sent to the capital by Zhang Fu, and became a prisoner. He was a doomed person.If Qian Xun can return to Hanwang Mansion, Zhang Fu will have a sworn enemy in Hanwang Mansion!

If Zhang Fu was shaken in the slightest due to dissatisfaction, and wanted to flirt with the King of Han again, this Qian Xun would probably do Zhang Fu "a lot of favors"... such as immediately revealing the secret to the court of the capital.

This is to cut off Zhang Fu's retreat.

Jin Zhong pondered over and over again: Is this what Xu Huizu wanted to trade?

...Inadvertently, Jin Zhong remembered what happened yesterday. When the eunuch Haitao met in the court, he said: The empress asks all ministers to concentrate on serving the Holy One and not to have too much prejudice against Wei Guogong because of personal grievances.

Jin Zhong and other officials who participated in the upheaval of the Eastern Palace were certainly not the ones who took refuge in the queen!Today, Empress Zhang also participated in that great event. Everyone cared for the Holy One together, and had shared adversity. Of course, the relationship is a little closer than others.

There is also a less important reason, the eldest son of the emperor was born to Empress Zhang.So the queen's words have to be considered to some extent.

At this moment, the voice of the Holy Majesty said: "Talk one by one, let me hear clearly."

There was a lot of silence inside the imperial gate, everyone gradually and neatly stood where they should stand, and then came out one by one to talk about their opinions.Sure enough, there are people who support both propositions. Many people don't like Xu Huizu very much, but they will not immediately reject his proposed strategy.

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, directly opposed Zhang Fu's proposition: "Separate and besiege two provinces with heavy troops. How many troops will it take, 100 million? How long will it take, how many years? Where did the ministers gather so much money and food?!"

And the general Liu Sheng, who was born in a hundred households guarding Yanwangfu and is now the Marquis of Anyuan, said: "The British Duke was ordered to conquer the Annan Kingdom. There are advantages and disadvantages. He proposed a strategy of dividing and besieging, and the Holy One must not ignore it."

Chen Mao, the son of Chen Heng, also said: "The strategy of the British public is very safe. The three southwestern provinces are barren and rugged. If the key points are guarded by heavy troops, it will be extremely difficult for the rebels to go east..."

Xu Huizu said dissatisfiedly: "The court is sitting on the world's soldiers and horses, so it will lose its momentum!"

"Jin Shangshu." The Holy Majesty suddenly called out his name and said to Jin Zhong, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, what experience do you have?"

Jin Zhong went out and bowed, and said: "My lord, I think Yunnan must be empty, and it would be a pity to give up the fighter plane so easily. But Guizhou city is strong, it is an important town with troops, and Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, has been running it for many years. It is definitely not a mixed bag like Chengdu. ;As long as reinforcements are dispatched from Huguang in time, Guizhou will be difficult to be breached within ten days..."

He changed his tone and said seriously, "What Wei Guogong said is not unreasonable. If the fighter planes are too conservative at present, and the officers and soldiers are still patrolling with a majority of troops, people who don't know will mistakenly think that we are really afraid of that traitor! It is extremely detrimental to the morale of Wang Shi's army."

The Holy One seemed to nod his head.

Jin Zhong said again: "The old minister came forward and mobilized the army to deal a heavy blow to the rebels in the three provinces of Yun, Gui, and Sichuan. The three armies will fight! , it must be the praying mantis blocking the car. Let those rebellious officials and thieves who encouraged the rebellion die without a place to die!"

Although Jin Zhong made a generous statement, the Holy Majesty still did not speak out immediately.

The superior was silent for a long time, and the entire imperial gate fell silent.At this moment, the sound of rain struck the temple again, which was extremely clear.

"Okay!" Zhu Gaochi's voice suddenly came out.

At this moment, Jin Zhong recalled in a daze the day of the upheaval in the palace, he pointed to the gate of the Fengxian Hall of his family temple, and decisively ordered the soldiers to open it!

Zhu Gaochi said: "Gu Cheng and Zhang Fu besieged Yunnan with more than [-] people. The Huguang army first dispatched more than [-] people to assist Guizhou. After the Huguang army is properly assembled, attack Sichuan immediately!" , you came up with the strategy, who do you think is appropriate to lead the army to aid Guizhou?"

Xu Huizu clasped his fists out of the line and said, "Your Majesty, I recommended Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin. Veteran generals have rules and regulations. Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong is a general. He is weak because he is too young and does not have enough experience in battle. He can first experience the battlefield for the lieutenant general. In the future They must be the holy generals; Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, and Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, are the most able to conquer and fight, and they live around Wu Gao, so they can guarantee that the battlefield in Guizhou will be safe!"

Except for Wu Gao, who has rich war experience, Zhu Yong, Liu Sheng, and Chen Mao are all "heroes of Jingnan". A piece of military merit is quite a good thing... Moreover, these people supported Zhang Fu just now, and Xu Huizu immediately recommended them, which fully demonstrated his attitude of putting the overall situation first and putting the public heart first!

Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "Good! Then send Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to Changde Mansion in Huguang, sit in the middle of the town, dispatch grain and grass, and contact various armies to implement the imperial court's general strategy, so as to ensure that the front is safe."

Everyone bowed one after another: "The Holy One is wise and mighty!"

... In this battle, the flames of war will affect at least three provinces!Although it is impossible for each battlefield to fight at the same time, the two sides will invest in troops one after another, with a total of more than 90 people!Under the order of Emperor Jinkou Yuyan, the unprecedented battle was unavoidable and unchangeable.

The emperor was so determined that he no longer wanted to hide his heart, which was the extreme hatred, disgust, and faint fear of betraying the king.

The rain was still falling outside the door, and Zhu Gaochi's face was red. He was looking forward to the great victory in the gloomy weather and in the frantic silence.

Chapter 4 Seventeen Live Bravely

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, this is No. 12 days after the Han Wang army set off from Chengdu, the army entered the boundary of Chongqing Prefecture.I heard that we will be able to arrive at Chongqing Fucheng in the evening tomorrow.

Tonight, the army camped near a market called "Bashang", and the camp of the Chinese army was set up in the market.

It is very difficult to snow in Chongqing in winter, but it is extremely humid and cold|cold, the fog sometimes disappears all day long, and the sky is heavy with fog.

Miaojin was the same as usual, wearing a dark gray coarse sermon robe and a veiled cap on her head.She followed the army on horseback and was heading towards the "Bashang" on the hillside.

However, most of the sergeants did not have horses, so they walked over 600 miles in this way.They walk neither fast nor slow, and their steps are neat. Most of them breathe through their noses and mouths, and they can feel even breathing just by looking at the subtle movements of their faces.

After walking so far, the military households in Sichuan have no complaints. Miaojin heard that because of the expedition, each person was given [-] pieces of money or silver.Moreover, the military households trusted the King of Han very much, and few people seemed to doubt that the army led by the King of Han would lose the battle.

Zhu Gaoxu never ignored the military households, and he talked to ordinary sergeants under the hillside again.Miao Jin immediately turned her head and approached him calmly, wanting to hear what he had to say. Tonight, Miao Jin can write another paragraph about the King of Han.

Or because her late father was a civil servant, Miao Jin was brought to the battlefield by Zhu Gaoxu this time. She always had a mission to record the words and deeds of the King of Han.However, she is a woman who is not a historian, so the writing method is very informal, and she mostly describes what she has seen and heard and some of her own feelings.
