Chapter 94: The National Destiny and the Decline of the Sun
After placing the ashes of the six soldiers who died in the war into the mourning hall, many students from Yushan Academy who specialize in firearms told the six soldiers in the mourning hall Lots of apologetic words.
So much so that every time there was new progress in firearms research, someone would come here to tell these six soldiers.
Yunxiao is back.
Looking very tired, even exhausted.
The news brought to Yun Zhao was not good. First, Li Hongji finally left Guanzhong and went to Henan with the fifty-one cavalry who escaped.
Secondly, Zhang Bingzhong has already contacted Yang Sichang, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, and is ready to accept the recruitment. Not only does he surrender himself, he can also write to the rest of the bandits to accept the recruitment.
The peasant uprising in full swing fell into a low ebb in an instant.
I heard that after the emperor agreed to Zhang Bingzhong’s recruitment, he returned to the harem and cried loudly.
After hearing Yun Xiao say these things, Yun Zhao himself was filled with sadness. At this moment, he really felt that the Ming Emperor was very pitiful.
The Yun family also has ancestral graves. In later generations, Yun Zhao visited the ancestral graves. At that time, there were very few old graves left. For these old graves, people in the family often fought with outsiders.
Now, the Yun family has more ancestral tombs, whether they are on the plains, on the Bald Mountains, or in the Qinling Mountains. Outsiders cannot touch any of them.
As far as Yun Zhao is concerned, if Zhang Bingzhong touches the Yun family's ancestral tomb, the consequences may be more serious than digging up the emperor's ancestral tomb.
The emperor tolerated it.
God knows how long I can endure it.
Yang Sichang knew that the emperor would not tolerate it for too long, and Zhang Bingzhong knew this very well.
When the emperor calms down and can no longer bear it, Zhang Bingzhong will die without a burial place. Everyone in the world understands this.
All the unreasonable evidence is there - however, Zhang Bingzhong still accepted the offer, and Yang Sichang still successfully persuaded the emperor.
As a result, something that was originally extremely unreasonable suddenly became a reality.
Li Hongji's entire army was wiped out and he left Shaanxi for Henan, ready to make a comeback at any time.
Zhang Bingzhong was recruited and hunkered down in Xiangyang, no longer making trouble.
The Ming Dynasty became extremely quiet almost overnight.
It is as if the previous conflicts never existed, as if those evil people have never harmed this country. The reality is too cruel, and everyone has chosen to forget. Ostrich in the sand.
Lantian County is too prosperous and located in the tired and broken Guanzhong. It is like a bright pearl embedded in the dark night. Everyone can see it and everyone wants to pick it.
Zhang Bingzhong hoped that the emperor would hand over Lantian County to him. In that case, he would be willing to give up one hundred thousand subordinates and take only sixThousands of people gathered in Lantian County, and there was no rebellion in this life. Their descendants were all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor rejected Zhang Bingzhong's suggestion. Yang Sichang believed that the emperor should agree. It would be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have one hundred thousand bandits dispersed in one day.
Wang Wenzhen and Zuo Liangyu believed that Lantian County had been experiencing peace and prosperity for a long time, and it was time to contribute wealth to the Ming Dynasty.
They wrote a letter saying - with the combined efforts of Lantian, we can support Jiubian for ten years.
The emperor stayed in the middle but did not send anything.
On August 27, Yun Zhao killed Zhang Bingzhong's adviser Shang Yongzhong, and ordered Yun Fu's troops to leave Wuguan and go straight to Nanyang, Henan.
Lantian County Magistrate Yun Zhao vowed not to spend a day with Zhang Bingzhong and his like!
Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, wrote in tears that Lantian County should not be handed over to the hands of thieves, otherwise Guanzhong will be corrupted again.
The King of Qin in Shaanxi also reported the next day that the descendants of the Zhu family should not be neighbors of the Zhu family's ancestral tomb in Faqiu, otherwise they would rather raise their families to commit suicide.
The emperor issued an order to appease King Qin and said: No, no!
"Yang Sichang, Wang Wenzhen, and Zuo Liangyu are seeking their own death!"
Yun Zhao sat in the main seat and looked at the packed house of Yun's confidants.
Yunxiao said: "Zhang Bingzhong has no idea about Lantian County. It was Yang Sichang who proposed it. He united some people to prepare Lantian County."
Yunfu looked at Yun Zhao and said: " It's better to rebel!"
Yunmeng said: "The army is ready and the people are united, we have the strength to fight with the emperor."
As for Yunhu, Yunbao and Yunjiao. He was extremely angry and advocated a clean break with this shabby imperial court. After capturing the city of Xi'an, he officially raised the flag.
Yun Zhao smiled when he heard this and said to Yun Xiao: "Take the head of Yang Sichang's eldest son and put it in a brocade box as a gift for Duke Yang's fiftieth birthday."
He said to Yun Xiao again. He said: "Take the head of Wang Wenzhen's eldest grandson and put it in a brocade box as a gift for the prince to recruit Zhang Bingzhong." He said to Yunjiao: "Take the head of Zuo Liangyu's beloved daughter and put it in a brocade box as a gift." The gift was sent to the residence of General Zuo as a birthday celebration for Mrs. Zuo."
"The Yun family has been too silent in these years, thinking that this would make the world forget us. Blame us.
If you pass on the order, all thieves who intend to invade Lantian County will not be spared, no matter where they are."
Yun Fu frowned and said: "Kill their family members. , it is better to kill the old thief."
Yun Zhao glanced at Yun Fu and said: "Kill them, there will be others coveting Lantian County, I thought it would be good to give them a warning."
Yun Meng said: "They will hate us to the core."
Yun Zhao said: "I already hate them to the core!"
"The world is not at peace yet!< /p>
Jiannu once again imprisoned the country, and Shandong will be corrupted. In the face of this situation, a group of rotten people dare to plot against our Lantian County. I will make it difficult for them to sleep and eat in their lives, and then die without a burial place! ”
p>Everyone in the Yun family saw Yun Zhao’s ideaHaving decided, I stopped persuading and followed Yun Zhao's orders one by one.
In the evening, Sun Chuanting brought officials from Xi'an Prefecture to Yushan. Among them, Lao Ruyi, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, was the most angry, claiming to go to the capital to eliminate traitors for the country!
Yun Zhao smiled and said nothing, and invited Sun Chuanting inside to talk in detail.
"You want to rebel?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "This is a matter in the court, and I will naturally handle this matter according to the rules of the court."
Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief and said: "How to deal with it?"
Yun Zhao said calmly: "You will know soon, the messenger is on the way, I think there will be a result soon "
Sun Chuanting's heart almost reached his throat and he said, "You want to kill someone?"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "How can you kill someone?"
“Who should I kill, whose heart will be broken?”
“Kill the person who hurts their heart, and whose heart will be broken by those who plot against me in Lantian County.”
"What if they are furious?"
Yun Zhao looked at Sun Chuanting and laughed: "Then, I will march out of Tongguan and march into Henan. I will ask these people what they think of my Lantian County."
Sun Chuanting said quietly: "Do you think our Qin army is dead?"
Yun Zhao looked at Sun Chuanting and said: "Fifty percent of the Qin army are my descendants from Lantian County!
Without my approval, you thought you could recruit soldiers in Guanzhong with tens of thousands of taels of silver?
You would win every battle? Who do you think these children are risking their lives to fight for?
They have never thought about the Ming Dynasty or Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting. They just want to drive the bandits out of Guanzhong and let his parents live. Brothers, wives and children can have a stable environment to farm well!"
Sun Chuanting sighed: "I know."
Yun Zhao softened his tone and said: "Master Liu. You understood it when you distributed food and grass to the Qin army, right?"
Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing him scolding the Qin army generals like a junior, what else don't I understand?"
p>
Yun Zhao stood up, opened the window, looked at the snow-capped peak of Yushan Mountain and said, "I'll tell you what I'm relying on in the capital. Just watch the excitement. When the dust settles, clean up the mess for me."
"You won't rebel?"
"As long as the Ming Emperor is alive, I will not rebel."
"Why? Do you still care about the emperor, his ministers and his son?"
Yun Zhaodao: "I don't care, I only care about his courage. If he loses his courage, it means he is not qualified to inherit the Ming Dynasty."
Sun Chuanting used almost He said in a groan-like tone: "Can I believe what you say?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "I have endured it for so many years, and I don't care about waiting a few more years."
"How many years?"
"Yes, according to my judgment, there are only a few years left in the Ming Dynasty. I can afford to wait!"
“I don’t believe it!”
“Hong Chengchou said the same.”
“I heard that you never lose in bets?”
"That's right, I always seem to win!"
"Okay, I bet that the Ming Dynasty's national fortune will be prosperous and it will last forever!"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "I bet The Ming Dynasty will definitely decline within ten years."
Sun Chuanting stretched out his hand, and Yun Zhao casually slapped his hand and said, "Okay, the bet has been agreed upon. Wait until the day after tomorrow. I can write to your patron in the capital and ask him to calm down this farce!"
"Why must it be the day after tomorrow?"
"Because it will take a few days for my people to arrive. When it comes to work, think about it. One of these three people's homes is in the capital, one is in Nanjing, and the other is in Henan. They are far away from each other. I can't be too harsh on my subordinates."
