[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Zhu Chenhao's base camp is in Jiangxi, but he has also operated in Yunnan and Northwest China for many years.The iron mines in Jiangxi allow him to eat anywhere.Regardless of the nationality, iron ore is a very important strategic resource.Especially the Yao people in Yunnan and the Mongols in the northwest, they all need a lot of weapons to fight against Ming Dynasty.And Zhu Chenhao made huge profits in it.

During these years of operating in the Northwest, Zhu Chenhao also had some understanding of Xu Jin.Like Liu Jin, Zhu Chenhao also knew Xu Jin's nature deeply.He even predicted early on that there would be discord between Xu Jin and Zhu Houzhao.A minister, he can be greedy for money and love beautiful women, but greed for power is the first taboo, and greed for fame is the second taboo, sometimes even worse than greed for power.Being greedy for power makes the emperor jealous of you, and being greedy for fame makes you inevitably confront the emperor.

The interests of the emperor and ministers are often inconsistent.If a minister wants to have a good reputation among his colleagues and the common people, he must have a direct conflict with the imperial power.And this is the taboo of being a minister.

When Liu Jin went to the northwest to make such a big commotion, Zhu Chenhao's eyeliner in the northwest quickly passed the news to him.The moment Zhu Chenhao heard the news, he knew his chance had come.The current Northwest Army may not be as well-equipped as the Yulin Army, but in terms of experience and strategy and tactics, it is definitely much better than the Beijing Army.If he could persuade Xu Jin to turn against him, why would he worry about not having an extra arm.At the same time, one of Zhu Houzhao's arms can be cut off.

When Xu Jin got the letter, it was like a flaming iron.Before that, he didn't know King Ning, nor did he know that he had turned against him.But he had a relationship with Zhu Cheng, a silk merchant, and knew about his huge financial resources.And the real identity of this person is actually King Ning.Now, he has rebelled, and the letter urging him to rebel has been delivered to him.

Tan Linchao was also silent while holding the letter.He followed Xu Jin for these years, from a military adviser to a small general to a military adviser next to a generalissimo, his experience and thinking have long been different from those of the past.

"Do you think I should agree?" Xu Jin's voice was tired, and he was no longer as energetic as before.

Tan Linchao was startled, Xu Jin was really considering whether to rebel. "The subordinates don't know either. If the marshal turns against him, he may have a way out, or..."

"Is it possible to become a sinner through the ages?"

Qin Linchao was silent.

"I don't want to rebel. My wife and two children are still in the capital. If I rebel, their lives will be in danger." Zhu Houzhao presided over many reforms, but the fact that the family members who led the soldiers came to Beijing as hostages did not change.Except for the third son who was determined to join the army, the remaining two children entered the capital and are still in the capital.

"Now that King Ning is rebelling, the emperor may not make a big move in the northwest. If the northwest is unstable, and Jiangxi is occupied by King Ning, the imperial court may not have the energy to deal with possible situations on both sides. Therefore, it is very likely that the imperial court will shelve this matter and wait. Putting out King Ning's rebellion is in turn resolving the Northwest issue." They can gain a certain amount of respite in this short period of time.After operation, it is not certain that things in the northwest will get a turn for the better.

"I hope so." Although the reasoning is true, Xu Jin always has an ominous premonition in his heart.He always felt that things would not be so simple to solve.Perhaps, there will be other unpredictable things happen.

Compared with the capital city, Nanjing, where Wei Jia is located, got the news of King Ning's rebellion earlier.The fleet was about to set off, but something like this happened. The people below advised Wei Jia not to go to sea for the time being, and wait for the emperor's order to arrive.

In fact, there is a kind of fear in their hearts. This trip will last at least two or three years. What if the dynasty changes when they come back.There are wives and children at home, what should I do if I am not at home and encounter wars?

"Are we the only ones who know this news?"

The messenger nodded.They knew the news mainly because they had a good relationship with the Navy, and the Nanjing Navy received a request for help and was about to be transferred to Jiangxi to counter the rebellion.What needs to be guarded now is that there are many sailors drawn by the navy in the fleet. I don't know if they will get news from their former colleagues.

When Wei Jia got the positive news, he said categorically, "You don't have to wait for the emperor's decree, and you don't have to wait for the people from the Qin Tianjian to check the time. They don't understand the weather changes at sea like us. It's not too late. , It’s easy to change when it’s late. Pass on the order and we’ll set off the day after tomorrow.”

Could it be that the person who reported the letter said: "This is not very good, is it?"

Wei Jia slapped the table and stood up and said loudly: "What we are going to do will benefit the present and the future. Even if the dynasty changes, it is a good thing for the country and the people. We must not shake the morale of the army because of such a thing. Let this plan be aborted. Anyway, everything is ready, and the sea is calm these days, we will leave the day after tomorrow, and we must not delay."

The loud noise frightened the man, who was speechless and had to let out a long sigh.

On the third day, the fleet sailed ahead of schedule, avoiding the most panic-stricken moment in Nanjing.

This incident reached Zhu Houzhao's ears, and Zhu Houzhao sighed that he did not misunderstand the person.Wei Jia's determination saved him from many troubles.

Because of Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, Zhu Houzhao hadn't had a good night's sleep for three or four days. He was either summoning the ministers or waiting for the urgent memorial ahead.Occasionally I can sleep for a while, and it is also in the middle of the night, when I take turns to rest with the cabinet ministers.Seeing that he was losing weight, Du Ruo thought of many ways to let him relax for a while, but to no avail.

This is the first major event that happened to Zhu Houzhao after he took over the throne. How could he sleep.Even if he had a little time to rest, the slightest movement could wake him up.

"The Nanjing navy has blocked the waterway after receiving the request for help, besieging the rebel king in this area, and soldiers and horses from all over the country are also urgently marching to Jiangxi." It was Ma Wensheng who spoke.As Minister of the Ministry of War, he had to come out to preside over the overall situation.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his temples to show that he knew.Liu Jian immediately went on to speak: "According to the report of the spies, King Ning is not popular with the people, and wherever he goes, people's complaints are boiling. It's just that King Ning has a lot of silver in his hands, and he has a slogan of revitalizing scholars and peasants, so he has won over many Officials and squires are used by him."

The status of merchants in Ming Dynasty is getting higher and higher, and the management of officials is getting stricter, and many literati have long been dissatisfied.King Ning took advantage of this and bestowed kindness on these people to serve him.

This is nothing to be afraid of. If King Ning wants to please the officials, he will inevitably increase the pressure on the merchants.Without the support of merchants, King Ning would soon find that everything was lacking in Jiangxi.Fighting a war is not only about who can fight and who can fight, but who has better logistics and whose national strength is strong.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was not interested in this point, Ma Wensheng said tentatively: "Now that King Ning is rebelling, what happened in the northwest...?"

Zhu Houzhao had anticipated this situation long ago, and had already made a compromise in his heart. He said helplessly: "Since Jiangxi is unstable now, the matter in the northwest will be dealt with lightly. All those involved in the case will be treated equally, and the crime will be reduced." This is already Zhu Houzhao The biggest concession that can be made is really a critical juncture, and the Northwest cannot be chaotic.

Although it was not as good as he expected, Ma Wensheng was quite satisfied with the result, and silently stepped back and stopped talking.He felt that he had exhausted his benevolence and righteousness, and it had nothing to do with him as to what step Xu Jin could take in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect that before the good news reached the northwest, news came from the northwest: Xu Jin killed all the imperial envoys, but he turned his back on him, only You Erhu helped Liu Jin fight a bloody path, and now he is protected by the family of Crimea .

As soon as this news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.Zhu Houzhao was out of breath and fell ill that day.

In fact, Xu Jin didn't want to rebel. Firstly, he cared about his wife and children, and secondly, he really didn't want to bear the reputation of being a traitor.He had no choice but to do this because Zhu Chenhao's scheme was so vicious that he had to go against it.

Zhu Chenhao didn't just send the letter, he also sent Xu Jin the seal and the python robe with the word "Shoulder with the King", and he walked past the streets of Datong with gongs and drums, and the whole world was full of noise and noise. The city knows.Xu Jin immediately arrested these people and beheaded them on the spot to prove their innocence.

However, this is not the end.Soon there were rumors throughout the city that Xu Jin had taken refuge in Zhu Chenhao.Three people become a tiger, everyone spreads it a lot, and naturally some people believe it.After the people added fuel and vinegar, the story changed completely, and it became that Zhu Chenhao's rebellion was an appointment with Xu Jin, and the two met to rebel.After the success of the rebellion, the Zhu Dynasty was overthrown, and the Yellow River was stipulated as the boundary, and the two would row the river to rule.

When did you say they made an appointment?My uncle's sister-in-law's son's friend is a servant in General Xu's mansion. He said that General Xu received King Ning several times in the general's mansion.If you say there is nothing in it, who will believe it!

At the beginning of the rumor, Xu Jin just laughed it off, but as time went on, Xu Jin couldn't laugh anymore.This is not fun, Liu Jin and the people in the Inspectorate are still Datong, what if they believe it?

Xu Jin personally came to explain to Liu Jin, hoping that through Liu Jin, he would be able to listen to Datian.

Liu Jin is naturally not a fool, knowing that this is King Ning's plan to divorce, so he promises to solve this matter.

Or maybe it was Xu Jin's own bad luck, or maybe Xu Jin really had no way to rule, and one thing happened that forced Xu Jin to rebel.

Just when all kinds of rumors in the city were spreading like a raging fire, Xu Jin's birthday came.Because this year has not been going well, everyone wants to hold a show for Xu Jin to get rid of the bad luck.

At the banquet, someone ordered to sing "Chen Qiao Mutiny". At this moment, someone gave a dragon screen, and Xu Jin praised it for its good embroidery work.The timing was so coincidental that Xu Jin's subordinates began to wonder if Xu Jin was implying something.After all, they are not roundworms Xu Jin's stomach.Even though Xu Jin tried his best to deny the rumors, he didn't know that he was just preparing to raise troops to delay the time.You must know that a large number of ordnance was updated in the armory a few days ago.

Xu Jinyuan, he only cared about greeting others, how could he know that the song was about the Mutiny of Chen Qiao.The armory in the armory is prepared for teasing, not for raising troops.

It's just that history is such a coincidence. A mutiny in Chenqiao, a screen that is soaring across the world, and an armament update that has nothing to do with the rebellion have pushed history further into the unknown.
