Baochai got on the carriage, his mind filled with Zhu Jinghong’s marks.
In a daze, the carriage returned to the palace, and she was helped out of the carriage by the maid.
After returning to Tongxin Hall and sitting down, someone reported that Daiyu was crying.
Baochai was about to look through the accounts when he heard this and sighed, then set off to Hanxiangyuan.
Zhu Jinghong left, although he only took Qiqige and Nuomin with him, but it also left the palace deserted.
Walking among the alleys, Baochai felt a little lonely.
At this moment, she remembered Zhu Jinghong's words. In a month or two, she might be able to leave the city and live in a courtyard outside the city.
As for the reason, some people are still afraid of jumping over the wall. Living in the city is easy to catch them all.
"Fengtian Jingnan...it's best not to happen!" Baochai sighed.
In fact, Zhu Jinghong's guess was correct. That night, the prince brought up the old matter again and planned to control the emperor and succeed to the throne in advance.
But this time, he was still rejected by Yuanchun and Miaoyu. Now these two are acting as his think tanks
It’s not that the scholars of the East Palace are disloyal, it’s just that they have lost their heads. Zhu Jingyuan really didn't trust outsiders when it came to buying and selling, so he could only discuss it with Yuan Chun.
As for Zhu Jinghong, he left the capital on the 25th of the first lunar month and did not leave Yumen Pass until the 15th of the second lunar month. He did not arrive at Hami City until the eighth day of the third lunar month.
In March, Baochai sent a message to the Queen, saying that she was living in the palace because she saw things and missed people, and the whole family was depressed and unhappy, so she requested permission to live in another courtyard.
The queen is kind-hearted and naturally agrees.
As for Zhu Jinghong, he only rested in Hami for two days, and then continued his journey to Turpan.
The war between the Ming Dynasty and Junggar was a very costly war of attrition. It lasted for three or four years and made it difficult for the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more difficult for the Junggar side.
Even with blood transfusions from Rakshasa, Kazakhs, etc., the pressure on the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance is still extremely high because the supply line is too long.
So at the beginning of the year, the tug-of-war in Turpan ended, and the rebels withdrew to the Urumqi area.
On March 25, Zhu Jinghong arrived in Turpan, which had been expanded into a fortress and contained a large amount of grain, grass and military equipment.
The main force of the Ming army was scattered within twenty miles around Turpan, and this was considered a very close garrison.
Zhu Jinghong was ordered to come to command the troops. This news had already reached the front line, so everyone in the army was looking forward to his arrival.
He rides a car inside the barrier, but rides a horse outside the barrier. There are bows, arrows and sabers on both sides of the saddle, but there is basically no chance of using these things.
Zhu Jinghong is simple and easy, so his goals are smaller and safer.
But he could not guard against outsiders, but he could not guard against his own people. As soon as he approached the contiguous military camp, his whereabouts were discovered and the news spread quickly.
Then there was a large-scale commotion, and the soldiers who were repairing ran out of the camp one after another and ran in the direction of Zhu Jinghong.
Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong had enough guards accompanying him, and nearby officers and generals came to control the situation, so a twenty-meter square "safe zone" was formed around Zhu Jinghong.
Sitting on horseback, listening to the cheers of the people around him, Zhu Jinghong had a slight smile on his face, looking confident and strong.
The cheers around us explained what it meant to be welcomed back by everyone.
Zhu Jinghong thought this kind of scene was normal, but the prince and Prince Rui really should come and see it in person.
After reading this, they may develop a desire to surrender and thus avoid disaster.
"Back...Back..."
"Get out of the way..."
In the cheers, the guards and generals struggled to clear the way , the voice is easily covered by shouts.
To be honest, Zhu Jinghong enjoys the feeling of being worshiped by others, but he has more important things at the moment, so of course he cannot spend too much time here.
"Everyone..."
Zhu Jinghong spoke and made a gesture to silence everyone, so the scene quickly fell silent.
"Everyone...I'm here to fight this time, not to perform on the streets. You help me surround here. What do you want?"
When talking to low-level soldiers, Zhu Jinghong never He doesn't put on airs and is still joking most of the time.
"I will definitely go and take a look at each of the health centers in the future. We will spend a lot of time together, why do you need to hang around here!"
"Listen to me. , return to camp and train diligently to win the battle... But I still have to rely on you!"
It is embarrassing for a person in a high position to say such humble words
But to achieve this effect, it must be like Zhu Jinghong, who has the unparalleled military achievements in front of him.
For another person to say this, even if it is not a round of boos, it will not resonate with others.
Seeing that everyone was still surrounding them enthusiastically, and there were people coming from a distance, Zhu Jinghong said seriously: "I will issue the first military order today!"
"Everyone is here, Stand upright!"
Zhu Jinghong's military training method has been implemented for several years in the Ming Dynasty. The guards of the pro-army, the guards of the capital camp, as well as the general and administrative departments of various places have basically been unified. Password.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong gave the order and everyone present stood at attention almost at the same time.
After taking a quick glance, Zhu Jinghong was very satisfied, and then he still said seriously: "Everyone returns to camp!"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison, But they actually obeyed the order and went back to their camps after paying homage.
Zhu Jinghong was able to move forward. About ten minutes later, he arrived at the south gate of Turpan Fortress, where a large number of senior generals had gathered.
The first two people were the two governors who had led the army before, namely Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang.
Seeing these two much older people, Zhu Jinghong could imagine how much pressure they have been under in the past two years.
Behind the two of them,They are the chief military officers of the Beijing camp, the commanders of the guards of the imperial guards, the commanders of the guards of the Beijing camp, and the generals of the Anxi Xingdu Division and the Qinghai Xingdu Division.
In addition to this general, there are also two people responsible for supervising the army, namely Liu Zhong, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and Liang Qian, the censor of the right capital.
The censor of Youdu is a high-ranking official of the second rank. This position is not permanent. Now it is specially set up to supervise the army, which shows the importance of the northwest military.
This is indeed the case. Of the 100,000 soldiers guarding the pro-army, 25,000 were at his disposal, and more than 75,000 of the 200,000 in the Beijing camp were in the northwest.
One-third of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in his hands, and there were also two capital divisions, five divisions of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shuofang, as well as Mongolia, Tibet, and Jurchen All ministries are at his disposal.
All in all, Zhu Jinghong commanded almost 200,000 troops.
"Meet His Highness!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Leaping off the horse, Zhu Jinghong walked towards the crowd: "Excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After everyone stood up, they greeted Zhu Jinghong. .
"The Thirteenth Master is finally here. I am looking forward to the stars and the moon!"
It was Liu Fang who spoke. What he said at this moment was definitely the truth, because in The pressure to lead the troops in the northwest is too great. He can breathe a sigh of relief when Zhu Jinghong comes.
At this time Shi Guangzhu said: "The Thirteenth Master has worked hard all the way, and I have prepared a banquet just for His Highness to receive the wind and wash away the dust!"
Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It just so happened that I was tired. Sorry, you are so kind, but I am disrespectful!"
Only two commanders spoke during the whole process, and the rest of the generals or commanders had no right to speak on this occasion.
After chatting and laughing with the two governors, Zhu Jinghong entered the fortress with everyone, and soon arrived at the military camp not far away, which is also the headquarters of the governor-general's office.
A banquet has been set up in the military camp, and there are also dancing girls from the Western Regions. The bright color made Zhu Jinghong look at it a few times.
Zhu Jinghong arrived at the main seat, glanced at the dozens of senior generals present, and said with a smile: "Everyone...sit down!"
There were dozens of people present, Zhu Jinghong We all know each other, and many of them are his die-hard fans.
For example, Hou Jing, commander of Huben right guard, Shi Chong, commander of Jinwu left guard, Wang Jie, commander of Yaowu central guard...
After sitting down, Zhu Jinghong looked around at everyone, and it took him a while. He opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, it has been more than three years since I left the northwest in the autumn of the twelfth year of Zhengtong!"
"You have worked hard these past three years!"
After hearing this, everyone was filled with emotion, because those past days were indeed difficult.
"We are fighting hard in the northwest. The Holy Emperor ordered me to come and lead the troops. I have been deeply frightened since I received the order. I only feel that the overall situation of comforting the imperial court in the northwest is tied to me. I am walking on thin ice with fear..."
"However, Your Majesty has great faith. Even if it is difficult, I will work together with you to defeat the thieves!"
Zhu Jinghong’s speech was not loud, but it was sonorous, powerful and full of determination.
To the extent that he said he was scared, everyone felt that he had the confidence to move forward and defeat the enemy.
There is no way, all the large-scale battles Zhu Jinghong has commanded in the past few years have achieved brilliant victories, and a large number of generals have been promoted as a result.
Therefore, the military has full confidence in him and trusts him without hesitation.
Officially based on this, the emperor specifically asked him to command the troops, just to maximize the possibility of victory.
"In order to achieve a complete victory, I thought a lot on the way here. I have gained some insights in the past two months. Today I take this opportunity... and want to share it with you!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Jinghong took off his pearl folding brim hat and said: "
Everyone just wants to have a drink with Zhu Jinghong and take this opportunity to get involved with him, so they don't want to hear this at the moment. .
Fortunately, there are only four opinions, which make everyone feel a little better.
"The first point is to boost the morale of the entire army and let all the soldiers understand that this battle is going to happen. Our army must win, for this reason..."
The so-called first point, Zhu Jinghong divided it into several smaller points to discuss, and emphasized some things individually among the smaller points.
< p>What is said at this moment is all practical information. Although everyone present is itchy, they must listen carefully at this moment.After the first point, there are the second, third, and fourth...
Half an hour passed after this discussion. Zhu Jinghong was so thirsty that he drank three cups of tea one after another.
"I came here today, you guys. I served wine to welcome the wind, and I was very happy about this..."
"But before the battle killed them, you were drunk on meat and wine, and I didn't like it very much! "
The words Zhu Jinghong said before have already made the generals feel heavy. Now he said these words in a stern tone, which made everyone even more frightened.
"The Northwest The stakes of the war are very important. I am very worried and have trouble sleeping and eating, but you are so relaxed and casual. Is this your attitude to win the war? ”
There are all senior generals present. As the commander of the army, such relentless firing can easily alienate the generals.
Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang, who had previously commanded the army, It is impossible to say such harsh words to so many people.
And there are few people in the Ming Dynasty who can do this, and Zhu Jinghong happens to be one of them.
He relies on it. , firstly because of his identity as the emperor's legitimate son, and secondly because of his incredible military achievements.
So at this moment, all the generals present lowered their heads and did not dare to compete with Zhu Jinghong.
Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang, who were present one after another at this moment, kowtowed in front of Zhu Jinghong's case and said: "I am guilty, and I hope Your Highness will punish you severely! ”
Both veterans have apologized, but the others still dared to sit there and left the case one after another to bow and apologize.
Although these people have no other thoughts, on the surface it seems that this is a good thing. "Forcing the uterus"
So it's still that.In a word, it depends on who is involved. If someone else were to lead the troops, it would really be difficult to end it at this moment. We can't really punish so many people.
But for Zhu Jinghong, this is not a problem at all.
I saw him still sitting in his seat, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Everyone in the world doesn't blame everyone, but you all know that I never follow the world's rules!"
"You are at fault, but today the King of Japan assumes the new position, and I don't want to embarrass you!"
"But I have to make it clear to you. Military law is ruthless and military orders are as ruthless as mountains. If anyone breaks the rules again in the future, "...don't blame me for being unkind!"
In other words, Zhu Jinghong didn't intend to punish anyone. Ordinary people would consider this a compromise, but none of the generals at the scene had such thoughts. .
It can be seen how respectful and convinced these people are to Zhu Jinghong.
"You must strictly implement the four points I mentioned just now. I will check at any time from time to time. Anyone who stalls... will be severely punished!"
After just With the beating, all the generals calmed down and switched from idle mode to combat mode. They were actually not afraid of fighting a big battle.
The problem now is that Zhu Jinghong just talked too much. Even if they listened carefully, they could not remember the more than 20 small points.
Zhu Jinghong was already prepared for this, and continued: "I have ordered people to copy what I just said, and everyone will collect it after the meal!"
Looking at the people who were still kneeling, Zhu Jinghong picked up his chopsticks and said to everyone: "Now everyone goes to his place and eats!"
Eating is really just eating. Although there was fine wine on the scene and they felt the heavy pressure, they were no longer in the mood to go. drink.
The original reception banquet was finished in a dull atmosphere. As Zhu Jinghong stood up, the generals present also left one after another.
The most urgent thing for them at the moment is to get Zhu Jinghong's "speech", and Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang were called over by Zhu Jinghong.
In Zhu Jinghong’s military tent, the two governors again pleaded guilty.
But at this time, Zhu Jinghong had a humble attitude and personally stepped forward to help the two veterans up.
"I just spoke harshly and let down the good intentions of the two veteran generals. Please don't blame me!"
"How dare you!"
Shi Guangzhu and two others Accusing him again, these two old foxes certainly knew the purpose of Zhu Jinghong's rage.
In order to make everyone feel at ease and to make all the armies work together, Zhu Jinghong's method was simple but very effective, but others could not use it.
"What your Highness said is absolutely true. If the military is not united, how can we unite as one to defeat the thieves?"
"I am stupid and do not have the courage of Your Highness, so I can only I will try my best to follow you, I just hope that His Highness will not dislike it!"
The two veterans showed their absolute support for Zhu Jinghong in every word, which made Zhu Jinghong feel a lot more at ease.
In this united battle, Zhu Jinghong had too many troops under his command.A top general will definitely become his arm next.
He only has one person, Zhu Jinghong, so these two governors must be responsible for the subsequent group operations.
"You two are so generous, I feel at ease!" Zhu Jinghong looked happy.
Face is given to each other. The two veterans are so sincere, so naturally Zhu Jinghong will not show off.
Next, Zhu Jinghong talked in detail with the two veterans and learned more about the army and the latest enemy trends.
