Chapter 489: Order to the Frontline
For Zhu Jinghong, the emperor and the empress were worried, while the emperor was looking forward to it, but some people were full of fear of him.
Prince Rui’s Mansion, inner study room.
"Eighty-seven plus one hundred and twenty-five is two hundred and twelve"
"There are only about 500 people in our palace including the guards, and more than 200 are enough." It’s almost half, how many people does this guy Lao Shisan have to kill?”
Hearing Chen Zhi compare the figures with people from the palace, Zhu Jingyuan felt particularly uncomfortable, so he cast a dissatisfied look at his wife .
"You are not unlucky to say that Thirteen killed nearly half of the palace," Zhu Jingyuan said coldly.
Putting away the report, Chen Zhi sneered, and then said, "You can't stand this."
"If Old Thirteen really raises his troops in the future, everyone in our palace will be It’s not enough for him to chop.”
“Think about the fate of Lingshuren’s family, and then think about the fate of Prince Li and King Ying’e. Don’t mention you and I, even Yu’er and the others, I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape by then. "Death"
These words, every word, were like needles, pricking Zhu Jingyuan's heart.
After a long time, Zhu Jingyuan replied, "Old Thirteen is only interested in military affairs and has no intention of seizing the direct descendants."
Chen Zhi sneered, "Humph, he has no intention of seizing the direct descendants. Do those people who were promoted and made rich along with him have different intentions?"
"You even boast of being familiar with classics and history, and you have even forgotten the allusion about Taizu of the Song Dynasty wearing a yellow robe."
Chen Zhi's last words This sentence was like a wake-up call to Zhu Jingyuan, instantly sending chills down his back.
Yes, no matter what Lao Shisan thinks, as long as he reaches that position, many things will be beyond his control. Zhu Jingyuan thought to himself.
For the first time in his mind, Zhu Jinghong's threat rose sharply, not much worse than that of the prince.
What Chen Zhi said just now, even if he is a close confidant, it is difficult for him to say it clearly without any scruples. Only a wife who is of the same mind can speak frankly.
So at this moment, Zhu Jingyuan and his wife were grateful to see each other, even though their chattering was quite annoying on weekdays.
Zhu Jingyuan stood up and bowed solemnly to Chen Zhi, "Thank you, my dear concubine, for your advice."
"Why are you doing this, Your Majesty?" Chen Zhi quickly returned the greeting.
Actually, Chen Zhi didn't really think that Zhu Jinghong had the intention to seize the throne. She said it so seriously before, just to serve as a better warning.
Now that her goal has been achieved, she changed her tone and said, "Even if Lao Shisan is ambitious, the prince will definitely win over someone as powerful as him."
"There are girls from the Xue family Now, I think Old Thirteen will return to the crown prince sooner or later, and then he will be in trouble."
"I don't care about other things, I have to get rid of the Xue family girl as soon as possible, and then help Ting girl up."
p>
Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly, already planning how to get started.
As for the general approach to this matter, he and Chen Zhi had discussed it in detail before and had already come up with a rough strategy.
“YesIt’s time to start making arrangements.”
While Prince Rui and his wife were discussing in detail, the latest battle report also reached Baochai’s ears.
Baochai suddenly became worried when he learned that Zhu Jinghong was on the battlefield again. What's more, he was so angry that he went directly to Yin'an Palace and shook the things in the east wing.
"Let you show off your abilities, let you show off your abilities"
Swords, guns, swords and halberds. Things were pushed to pieces by Baochai, and she was almost injured several times.
Most of the time, Baochai can control her emotions very well, but when the matter is related to her husband's safety, It would be difficult for her to keep her calm mind.
As for the so-called husband and wife, Baochai is really worried about Zhu Jinghong at this time. It is a typical "hate" caused by love, so she vents her anger here.
Of course, being so exaggerated is partly for the purpose of acting.
On the one hand, it shows the deep love between husband and wife, and on the other hand, it shows that there is no sense of dignity. >
"I let you show off"
After knocking down the last wooden frame, Baochai finally stopped and felt much better.
"I have to write to him. I wrote a letter to advise him not to put himself in danger again." After calming down, Baochai came up with this idea.
After simply adjusting his sleeves and reassuring himself as a princess, Baochai stepped out of the room. Walked away.
Outside the wing, more than a dozen officials and maids were kneeling on the ground. They were all on duty at Yin'an Hall today.
Baochai was majestic in the mansion. Shen Zhen, who was so angry that he smashed things, really scared these people.
So when Baochai appeared, everyone was so scared that they lowered their heads and wanted to find a crack to get in. < /p>
Standing still in front of everyone, Baochai glanced at everyone, and then said, "The things inside are messed up. Please clean them up."
The head eunuch immediately replied, "Yes."
Then Baochai left, and when he was gone, everyone stood up, and then entered the side room and started cleaning up.
The body of the recent prince in the back hall of the inner palace. It’s not good, Yuanchun personally served the soup and medicine.
“Your Highness, it’s time to take the medicine.”
Hearing the voice, the prince who was bowing his head at the desk raised his head and saw him. With a tired look on his face
Seeing his appearance, Yuan Chun couldn't help but advise, "Your Highness, stop looking at it and take a rest."
Zhu Jingyuan squeezed out a wisp. Smiling, he said, "I can't rest. I need to know the situation in various places, especially the affairs in Jinling, so I can prepare for my father to ask questions at any time."
No one wants to read these boring reports. The prince had no choice but to do this. Of course Yuanchun knew his difficulties.
“I summoned Miaoyu into the house in the past two days and learned a lot from her through chatting, especially about health preservation. , listen to her."
Listening to Yuanchun's ramble, Zhu Jingyuan took the medicine bowl from her hand and drank it despite the unpleasant taste.
The relationship between Miaoyu and Yuanchun Excellent, often these daysZhu Jingyuan also met her several times when she was summoned to the East Palace by Yuanchun.
"So, work and rest must be harmonious and relaxed before it is really time for Your Highness to take a rest."
Listening to Yuanchun's earnest advice, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. He smiled and replied, "Okay, just as my concubine said."
Help the prince stand up, Yuanchun said, "Your Highness, let's go for a walk in the garden."
" That's fine."
The two supported each other and walked to the back garden of the East Palace together, followed by the maid and eunuch far behind.
"Your Highness, do you know who has been talked about the most in the capital these two days?" Yuanchun tried his best to find some easy topics.
"You are talking about the Thirteenth Brother, I know everything about him"
"Li Bai said that my talents will be useful, and now the Thirteenth Brother finally has a place to be useful." Zhu Jingyuan said with emotion.
The prince is a kind man. Yuanchun wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back.
She knew it was useless to say anything, not to mention she also felt that she was overthinking it.
Of course, the most important reason is that the officials of the East Palace are involved in everything, so she really can't be too talkative.
Time passed, and another two days passed, and it was August 22nd.
After waiting for a day, the fourth military report from the northwest was delivered to Beijing by fast horse.
"Great victory in the northwest, great victory in the northwest"
There was another great victory in the northwest. The news spread among the people, which immediately triggered a heated discussion.
“Ever since Prince Xiang took charge of the military affairs in the northwest, our soldiers have won consecutive battles in the Ming Dynasty. This is really a great thing.”
“I have always heard people say before that Prince Xiang does not I don’t know how to learn. I think these people are just talking nonsense."
"Someone must be jealous of his talent, so they just made up some stories to slander him. These people are really bad."
" "The royal family, this kind of thing"
"Hey, hey, stop talking about it, the official patrolling the streets is here."
As a result, the discussion at the entrance of the alley stopped, but something like The scene can be seen everywhere in Beijing.
There is no doubt that Zhu Jinghong, who has won consecutive games, has once again become the "top player" in Beijing, and will continue to do so for a long time.
According to normal procedures, the report passed through many hurdles and was delivered to Zhu Xianming again.
At this time, he was practicing archery. When he heard that the military report came back, he couldn't wait, so he put down the bow and arrow and took it in his hand.
Today’s content is relatively simple. It talks about Zhenwei Zhongwei General Shi Chong, who successfully attacked the grain road behind enemy lines, forcing the Junggar army to retreat.
As he was retreating, Zhu Jinghong ordered Zhenwei Zhongwei to attack in a big way, and once again harvested a wave of heads, beheading around two thousand levels.
"Isn't he lucky?"
After closing the report, Zhu Xianming expressed this emotion. He admitted that he was jealous again at that moment.
He has been fighting for decades, but he has neverSuch a smooth battle.
Is this boy really so skilled in military use?
Recalling Zhu Jinghong's endless talk about war and his analysis of the times and patterns from a high position, Zhu Xianming found that he had indeed underestimated this boy.
"So, I really found a treasure." Zhu Xianming had another strange idea.
Neither Ning Huanxiang nor Liu Fang can achieve such a good record, Zhu Xianming thought to himself that he might have to readjust his deployment.
Palcing back and forth, after thinking carefully, Zhu Xianming glanced at Cheng Ying and ordered, "Go to the Hanlin Academy again and ask him to draft a new decree, and let Lao Shisan continue to be in charge of the northwest military affairs. Liu Fang will take office." Later, I will be responsible for assisting.”
The Lord actually ordered the Thirteenth Master to take charge of the northwest military affairs. Did I hear it correctly?
It is normal for Cheng Ying to have such doubts, because This arrangement is indeed outrageous.
As for whether Zhu Jinghong should stay or leave, this is the third edict issued by the emperor. Isn’t this too childish?
“Why don’t you hurry up and go?” Zhu Xianming said in a bad tone. .
"The slave obeys the decree"
Cheng Ying went to the Hanlin Academy again to convey the decree, and the bachelors once again polished the text according to the holy will. After the document was completed, it was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
After the Supervisor of Ceremonies put on his red seal and used his seal, the imperial edict was sent out by a fast horse and galloped towards the northwest.
On the first day of September, in the northwest wilderness, Zhu Jinghong was stationed on the hillside.
The army is marching under the hillside, and it is the troops of the Northern Four Guards who are opening the border.
At this time, half a month has passed since he completed his strategic retreat, and his strategy of advancing northward has also continued for half a month.
In the past half month, he has made great adjustments to the deployment of frontline troops, completely changing the current battlefield pattern.
In general, both infantry and cavalry are moving northward, and are now heading towards Hami.
In the process of executing this strategy, Zhu Jinghong also dispatched additional cavalry to the Tusheitu Khanate, and cooperated with the Anxi Xingdu Division to vigorously attack the rebels and stabilize the northeast side of the army's march.
Looking at the map in front of him, Zhu Jinghong pointed on it and said to the people around him at the same time, "Before dark today, all the ministries rushed to the predetermined location to camp. This was nailed down the day before yesterday. Everyone must do it." "Strict implementation"
Between Zhu Jinghong and around him, various guards came to work with the magistrates or ministers. The main purpose was to report the situation and point out the difficulties.
Every aspect of marching and fighting is difficult. Some difficulties can be understood, while others must be overcome. Among them, Zhu Jinghong has a good grasp of propriety.
"Thirteenth Master, we encountered an enemy attack this afternoon, and our defensive forces are stretched thin. Can you please deploy cavalry to assist in defense, so that our army can march at full strength?"
The speaker was Guo Yong. Yang Renzhong, the commander of Zuowei, had fought with Zhu Jinghong in Jinling, and had supported Zhu Jinghong in moving troops before. He had a closer relationship with Zhu Jinghong than most people.
So this time, Chen Baoxiang, the commander of Guo Yong’s left guard, sent him to express his feelings, hoping toReceived forgiveness from Zhu Jinghong.
"The troops are stretched thin. Please tell me which of the guards has enough troops now."
With one sentence, Zhu Jinghong dismissed Yang Renzhong and made him swallow his next words.
What Zhu Jinghong said is true. As a defender, we will never have enough troops, so this is something that must be overcome.
"Go back and tell Chen Baoxiang that he must arrive at the predetermined location before dark. If he says that there are not enough troops, let him transfer my guards."
" If it's still not enough, I can also listen to his driving."
Zhu Jinghong's harsh tone shocked everyone present, and they all warned themselves not to complain easily.
In fact, after Zhu Jinghong came to power, he did not know how many times he had reprimanded generals like this.
But because he has always been right about the situation and not the person, and all the credit for all previous achievements has been given to his subordinates, and he is basically the same when making decisions, there is no resentment towards him in the army.
"Everyone, please be patient a little longer. The left guard of Yangwei will arrive in half a month, and then the pressure on our army will be greatly reduced."
The left guard of Yangwei is also a cavalry. He was originally returning to Beijing from a northern border town, but was temporarily transferred to the northwest by the emperor.
As for why we didn’t make arrangements in advance, to be honest, it was due to lack of money.
Of course, this does not mean that the court really has no money, but Zhu Xianming has a silver reserve plan, which requires that the inner court's silver treasury must not be less than 10 million taels, and the outer court must not be less than 5 million taels.
Putting aside the matter of silver, now that a powerful cavalry has joined, it will be easier to defend. After all, the range of the cavalry's radiation will be larger.
"It's nothing, you all can go back your own way"
Compared to Ning Huanxiang, Zhu Jinghong is obviously more vigorous and resolute, and everyone is now used to him like this.
Everyone left one after another, and the only ones who stayed with Zhu Jinghong were Yang Longshan and Fan Changchun. These two had become his right-hand men, making strategic plans with him.
Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to spread out the map and continue to talk with the two of them in detail, a cavalry team quickly approached him. Judging from its flag, it turned out to be an old man carrying an imperial envoy. What the hell are you doing
The day before yesterday and yesterday, he had received orders respectively. The first one asked him to return to Beijing immediately, the second one changed his mind and allowed him to stay in the northwest, and now the third one came again .
"Could it be that the old man has changed his mind again? I have already sent him a message to march north. Could it be that he really dares to change his generals before the battle?"
"Could it be that he doesn't believe me or that someone is fanning the flames?"
For a time, Zhu Jinghong thought of many things, but his face was as calm as ever.
After the visitor dismounted, he came to Zhu Jinghong and said, "Thirteenth Master, please summon all the generals. I want to announce the decree in public."
This made Zhu Jinghong even more confused. The first two The Taoist decree is not that complicated.
"Okay"
SoZhu Jinghong immediately ordered people to find the generals who had left. At this time, the two supervisors also arrived.
The generals were even more surprised than Zhu Jinghong when they learned that another decree had arrived. The density of this decree was really too much.
Under the leadership of Zhu Jinghong, all the generals knelt down, waiting for the imperial envoy to read out the decree.
The imperial envoy who delivered the edict showed Kanhe in public, and after proving his identity, he took the imperial edict from his entourage.
"The emperor is destined to carry the emperor and control the sun"
"Today's war in the northwest is complicated and complicated, and the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves is urgent. It is really taboo to change generals on the spot. I think about it again and again"
"The emperor's thirteenth son, Hong, will still be the commander-in-chief, and Liu Fang, the left governor of the later military governor's office, will be the assistant, and they will jointly take charge of the northwest military affairs. Hope you and others"
After reading this, the main content of the imperial edict ends , everyone present was in a very exciting mood.
Among them, Zhu Jinghong was the most excited. He did not expect such a result at all.
With the old man's imperial edict endorsement, I am justified in being the head coach, and I will be more confident in commanding the army. Zhu Jinghong thought this.
At this time, he really admired the emperor's magnanimity, and he actually dared to let him, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, command such an important battle to counter the rebellion in the northwest.
A soldier dies for his confidant. Next, I have to fight even more beautifully to live up to the old man’s high expectations. This is what Zhu Jinghong had in mind.
While his mind was wandering, the imperial edict came to an end. He only heard the imperial envoy who proclaimed the edict read loudly, "I admire this."
