Zhu Gaoxu was paralyzed.
Dad, it’s true. I cried to death.
It was obvious that he could be sentenced to death directly, but he had to find a way to prove that he was still effective.
One hundred and fifty taels a day, 4,500 taels a month, and 54,000 taels a year.
To be honest, this number is very good and very exciting.
Zhu Gaoxu could only comfort himself in his heart.
But Zhu Di did not tell Zhu Gaoxu the truth.
These one hundred and fifty taels were required for the group mission. Essentially, he wanted to send his good son away, so he made some extra deals with Zhu Houcong. From now on, he would charge a premium for everything from Zhu Houcong.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhu Gaoxu needs to stay with Zhu Houcong for more than two years before he can make up the difference and make money for Zhu Di in the third year.
But in this case, Zhu Di didn't say much to Zhu Gaoxu.
Although this son is a bit unfilial and wants to say nonsense like "I should imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty" every day, he is still my son after all, and I have to take care of him no matter what.
Now letting him go to Jiajing as a general is also to temper his temper, so as to avoid the consequences like what happened in history in the future.
Less than half a year after the rebellion, he was beaten by his nephew to persuade him to surrender. There was no preparation for such a rebellion, and it was just a joke.
Zhu Di was very disappointed with him.
When he rebelled, his second brother was by his side, watching with his own eyes how he rebelled, and even making plans back then. Why was it that he was so rubbish when it was his turn to implement it?
High scores, low abilities, exam-oriented education?
Of course, facing the second child who failed in the rebellion, Zhu Di was also a little happy. He was happy that the second child failed.
Such complicated and tangled emotions made Zhu Di have complicated feelings towards Zhu Gaoxu, and finally rented him out.
Zhu Gaojiu took a deep breath, and then said gloomily: "Dad, my son has accepted the order! Now he will go home and pack up the gold and silver, take his wife and children to Emperor Jiajing's place to obey the order, and never come back."
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture to leave, but Zhu Di opened his mouth and said: "Wait a minute."
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he turned his head and said to Zhu Di: "Dad, my son knows that you will not let it go..."
Zhu Di opened his mouth to explain to Zhu Gaoxu: "No, I want to say that you don't need to take care of your wife and children. When I say you are alone, it is just you."
Zhu Gaoxu:......
Okay, nothing more to say.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hands to show that he was just a passerby.
Zhu Zhanji, who was on the side, almost laughed out loud in his heart, just grinning. He felt that the emperor's grandpa did the right thing, and that the second uncle should be exiled to other dynasties.
Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, was worried. He quickly raised his hands and said to Zhu Di: "Dad, this... this is not appropriate. Although my second brother is a bit naughty, he is like this..."
"Okay, boss, you don't need to plead with him."
Zhu Di waved his hand and then said: "I asked the second son to go to the Jiajing Dynasty because the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong has a strong national power. There was a ranking list in the last meeting. His national power is the strongest among the Ming Dynasty. Yes, let the second brother go and learn from experience, so that he can teach Yongle Chaoshang a lesson when he comes back."
"Furthermore, Jiajing is fighting a national war, so let the second son go to investigate the situation. Sooner or later, our Yongle Dynasty will have to fight this so-called national war. Therefore, no matter what, the second son will lead troops to have a collision with the Manchus. It’s good for us to be mentally prepared.”
Zhu Di confided his feelings to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard what Zhu Di said, he immediately became energetic and said with joy: "Dad, you should have told me earlier! My son really thought that you were annoying your son, so you sold him for one hundred and fifty taels a day!"
"In that case, don't worry, dad. My son promises to complete the task you entrusted..."
Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's endless words, Zhu Di held his forehead again, feeling a little headache.
Of course, the most important reason is because Zhu Gaoxu is so noisy.
Zhu Di and the prince quarreled in the court every day. Zhu Di's main purpose was to move Zhu Gaoxu to another place so that he would not bother him.
"Although Emperor Jiajing is my descendant, he has thunderous skills. A young man of fourteen or fifteen years old can accomplish such great achievements after becoming the emperor. I can't compare!"
Zhu Di sighed, and then said: "Remember, after the national war, you should do whatever Emperor Jiajing tells you. Don't talk too much like here. When you were in the Yongle Dynasty, you were His Highness the King of Han. When you arrived in the Jiajing Dynasty, He is just an ordinary pawn, if he dares to confront Emperor Jiajing, don’t blame me if his head is chopped off."
Zhu Di's voice was very serious, sternly warning Zhu Gaoxu.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he originally wanted to take advantage of his elder status to dominate. He immediately looked stern and said to Zhu Di, "Yes, my son has remembered it."
When Zhu Di was about to continue to give some words of advice, he saw a small gilt word suddenly flashing in front of his eyes, and at the same time, such a mechanical electronic sound sounded in his ears:
[The transaction party 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' has used the lease privilege. The lease war general Zhu Gaoxu will be teleported to the area where 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' currently belongs within a stick of incense. Please notify him as soon as possible to avoid panic. 】
After seeing the small gilded characters that suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhu Di nodded instantly, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was standing aside, and then said: "Okay, you will be teleported away in just one stick of incense. If you have anything to say now, just say it and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"So fast?"
Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised: "Can't you just let your son go home and say a few words or send a message?"
"If you have anything to say, finish the fight and come back early."
After Zhu Di waved his hand, he then waved his hand and ordered Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu to prepare himself.
Just when Zhu Gaoxu was about to say something, he felt a fluorescent flash around him, and he was shocked: "Dad, didn't you say it's time for a stick of incense?"
"It means within one stick of incense, he will send you away early when you are ready."
Looking at the dots of fluorescence around Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di couldn't help but shook his head. Then he could see Zhu Gaoxu was surrounded by dense fluorescence, and finally dissipated directly in the Qianqing Palace!
But Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji didn't have much reaction, and even breathed a sigh of relief.
Although brothers, uncles and nephews have a deep love, and they have achieved victory in the historical track, everything has been reshuffled now. It is really hard to say whether he can become the emperor. Now that the second uncle has been sent away, it can make the father and son fierce The ground breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu's disappearing figure and couldn't help but feel a little lost. After being stunned for a long time, he laughed dumbly and said:
"Prince and grandson, during the meeting just now, Emperor Jiajing proposed a reform measure. He called those old guys Xia Yuanji over. Let's discuss together how to promote it nationwide..."
…
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Your Majesty will be victorious!"
"..."
When Zhu Gaoxu came over and didn't understand what was going on, he heard a buzzing in his ears and bursts of deafening cheers. The sound was so loud that Zhu Gaoxu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a little overwhelmed. got up.
what's the situation? !
When the white light in front of him disappeared, Zhu Gaoxu officially saw what was happening here.
What came into view was the murderous Ming army. They were filled with murderous intent, and there was even blood splattered on their flags and armors. A large number of Eight Banners disciples were captured, gathered together, and knelt outside the camp.
On the high platform behind him, a young man wearing a dragon robe was standing there, followed by several resolute and brave generals, with angry eyes like a king's and murderous intent!
"Escort!"
"Someone is trying to kill Your Majesty!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu suddenly appearing here, the surrounding soldiers and guards were startled. In an instant, the blade was unsheathed and pointed at Zhu Gaoxu. The murderous aura filled the surroundings and could almost be said to have turned into reality.
Zhu Gaoxu, who has been on the battlefield for many years, was a little serious when faced with such a scene. Then he heard Zhu Houcong on the high platform say: "This is the son of Emperor Chengzu. I, Zhu Gaoxu, King of the Han Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, am the general who mobilizes troops. All my dear friends, Back off.”
"yes!"
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, all the soldiers looked at the four-clawed dragon in a red robe that Zhu Gaoxu was wearing, and immediately put the blade back into its sheath and issued orders.
Seeing this scene, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty was completely convinced. In this murderous scene, he immediately bowed his hands to Zhu Houcong and said: "Little king Zhu Gaoxu, pay your respects to His Majesty Jiajing. May your Majesty pay his respects!"
There was no sign of relying on one's elders or coercing him as an elder in his words. He was just like an ordinary vassal king from the Jiajing Dynasty meeting Emperor Jiajing.
After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Houcong immediately said kindly: "Why should the King of Han be so polite? Your Highness is my elder. To do this would seem like I am disrespecting my elders."
Suddenly, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, who was extremely arrogant in front of Zhu Di, became very well-behaved here. He cupped his hands to Zhu Houcong and said: "Your Majesty, although I am the son of Emperor Yongle, in our Ming Dynasty, there have always been only monarchs and ministers, and there is no such cross-border relationship." We are bound by family ties, and now the little king is here just to represent Emperor Yongle on my behalf, to pacify the slaves for His Majesty, and to show off my power as the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, please arrange an errand for me. I will devote all my energy to share your worries."
Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Houcong was a little surprised.
According to Zhu Houcong's past TV series and history books, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, should be a being who was unwilling to be inferior to others. Why is he so honest today? This actually made Zhu Houcong a little uncomfortable with it.
It seems that TV dramas and history books are harmful to people. What if Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, was originally an obedient child?
For a moment, Zhu Houcong felt that he had made a mistake in blaming the King of Han, and he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Shan, King Han is good at fighting, so I would like to ask King Han to Jiedu's personal guard camp to protect me from the rebel army."
Yes, although Han King Zhu Gaoxu was brave and good at fighting, Zhu Houcong would not really treat him as an ordinary general. After all, he was Emperor Chengzu's dearest treasure. How could Zhu Houcong put him in danger?
Yes, one hundred and fifty-two days is not a holiday, but it is just like an employee who comes in through the back door of the company. Although he has to be paid every month, when he goes through the back door, he usually brings in a sum of money to open the door for the company. Sales orders.
This is what Zhu Gaoxu is like.
Although Zhu Houcong had to pay a salary of 150 taels per day, Zhu Di's orders could be said to be constant. Even Zhu Houcong could offer a slight premium, so Zhu Di would not have any doubts.
With just one or two orders, you can earn far more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu naturally can't get into trouble. He can command the soldiers and act as a staff officer for himself when planning strategies, which is also a good point.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's instructions, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then he handed over his hands and obeyed the order.
Zhu Houcong just looked at him, and Lu Bing understood. He stood up and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Your Highness, King of Han, please follow me. General Mo will take Your Highness, King of Han, to the guard camp to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Zhu Gaojiu did not dare to say anything, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Bing and head towards the guard camp.
After Zhu Gaoxu left, Zhu Houcong continued to nod his head and mobilize his troops on the high platform.
At the moment when he left, the Eight Banners soldiers wanted to launch an attack and catch the Ming army by surprise.
After all, the Ming army fought several battles in a row. In Yue Le's imagination, the Ming army should be exhausted and not in high spirits.
Just before the Eight Banners soldiers launched their attack, the Ming army completed the defense change, and the newly arrived third battalion took over the frontline tasks. The energetic and high-morale Liwei, Zhenwei, and Xiaoyong battalions ran into the attacking Eight Banners soldiers.
After a fierce battle, they successfully repulsed the Eight Banners soldiers and gained numerous victories.
Just when Zhu Houcong planned to advance the entire army and ordered the artillery to prepare to bombard Zunhua with explosive shells, he suddenly received a battle report: "Report - Your Majesty, the Zhenwei Battalion has broken Yutian. The general flag of the Zhenwei Battalion, Ma Sanwu, ascended first to seize the flag and killed it." Level 12 thief!"
"Report - the bandits fled Zunhua, Xiaoyong camp climbed to the top of Zunhua city without a single soldier, and the people of Zunhua welcomed Master Wang happily!"
"Report——Fengrun City is decorated with a red flag, and the red flag is rising. Please surrender!"
There were three battle reports in a row, each one more powerful than the last.
This was something Zhu Houcong didn't expect.
"Tu Mo, Bing Bi, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Houcong narrowed his eyes and asked the two of them by name.
Tu Mo immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the surrender of the Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi must have some evil intentions. The leader of the Zhenghongqi, Jue Luoba Buer, and Xianghongqi Tejin are both loyal ministers of the false emperor Jiannu. Naturally, they are Will not surrender."
"The difference between what General Tumo said is that neither Tejin nor Jorobabur accompanied the army during this expedition. Therefore, most of those who surrendered were those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, or were lucky enough to want to rebel in the future. "
Having said this, he paused for a moment, with a fierce look in his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty cannot be trusted after accepting the surrender of the red flag and the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses with the red flag! When we capture Beijing, we must unload it." Their armor will be peeled off, and their weapons will be peeled off, leaving them without any armor to shout outside the city of Beijing. Since the Eight Banners brothers are related to each other by marriage, this plan will definitely attack the enemy's heart!"
When Tu Mo heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Aisin Gioro is still ruthless, no wonder he can do those appalling things outside the customs.
"Okay, if the Zhenghong and Xianghongqi in Fengrun City surrender and become slaves, Bingbi will be responsible for it. You can enter the city alone and let them cut their braids and kneel out of the city!" Zhu Houcong said.
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Xingbi couldn't help but feel flustered for a moment.
After all, this is to enter the city to persuade them to surrender, under the watchful eyes of tigers.
If Zhenghong and Xianghongqi really pretend to surrender to delay time, wouldn't it be possible for him, the envoy, to go in and die?
But he still gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Houcong: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust and complete the mission!"
"good!"
Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction.
Tu Mo, on the other hand, felt a huge sense of crisis.
His position was challenged by the Aixinjueluo family!
Damn it, can it be that I, the Guarjia family, really can’t compete with the Aisin Gioro family? !
For a moment, Tu Mo clenched his fists. Because the strength was too great, the slightly sharp nails pierced deeply into his palms, causing waves of heartbreaking pain...
Sweet talk is not what I am good at. It seems that I must be more cruel and ruthless towards those slaves and kill them all, so as to win the favor of His Majesty!
At this thought, Tu Mo's heart was full of murderous intentions, and he even had the intention to kill his once good friend An Da.
He decided that when he returned, he would interrogate him severely and try to turn his good friend An Da into a slave-building spy, and quickly kill this guy who competed with him for favor!
Zhu Houcong also took note of Tu Mo's performance.
Although Zhu Houcong didn't understand Tu Mo's current mental state.
But he knew very well that the dog-eat-dog pattern had been achieved.
Zhu Houcong was not worried about a dispute between Tu Mo and Bing Bi. On the contrary, Zhu Houcong did not want to see these two Manchu slaves acting like the same person.
Only if they feel threatened by their own status and compete, Zhu Houcong will not have to worry that they will engage in the kind of "anti-Ming and restoration of Qing" actions.
Although, judging from the state of the two of them, they don't look like guys who can 'reverse the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty'.
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
"Instruct all artillery battalions to replenish the new ammunition I brought as soon as possible, and the entire army presses forward to attack Beijing!"
…
When Yutian was captured, Fengrun surrendered, and Zunhua abandoned the city, the generals of the Qing Dynasty who were on the expedition, Prince Yue Le of Dingyuan'an, led seven or eight thousand remaining soldiers to escape.
The bad news is that the Qing army was defeated. Since Nurhaci's rebellion, the Qing army has not lost so miserably. Sixty thousand Manchus and thirty thousand Baoji went to fight, but now they are mixed together, and less than ten thousand people have escaped.
Of course there is good news.
The great Prince An, Yue Le, the last veteran general of the Qing Dynasty, was not defeated and his entire army was wiped out.
At least seven or eight thousand fire seeds have been reserved for the Qing Dynasty.
These seven or eight thousand men were in a very embarrassed state. After their charge failed, they threw away their flags and armor in order to run faster, so that the entire army was in a state of confusion. Flags of various colors were mixed together, and they had no idea who was who.
Fei Yanggu covered the old prince Yue Le and fled all the way. He didn't remember the time at all, and he didn't know how long he had been fleeing. It was only after seeing the city wall of Beijing from a distance that the Eight Banners disciples around him dared to cry loudly and vent their emotions. .
But Yue Le was confused and confused all the way, still immersed in failure.
When he saw the city of Beijing, he burst into tears. He couldn't help but draw his sword and shouted to the sky: "How can I have the face to meet my fellow villagers and young and old men from the Eight Banners?!"
Having said that, he wanted to kill himself!
Fei Yanggu was shocked when he saw this. He quickly took the blade from Yue Le's hand and advised: "General, don't be discouraged. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Don't kill yourself!"
Yue Le's face darkened: "What if I don't kill myself? If I return to Beijing this time, I won't be able to escape the death penalty!"
Yes.
He just knew his fate, so he thought of killing himself in advance so that he could have a good reputation and avoid being killed by his own people.
When Fei Yanggu saw this, he gritted his teeth and said immediately: "The Ming army is fierce, and I think Beijing may not be able to defend it. Why doesn't the general take these seven or eight thousand Eight Banner disciples to Xi'an?! Between Shaanxi and Gansu? The Dilv camp can fight, and if it can join forces with the governors and governors of Shaanxi and Gansu, the general can still turn things around!"
"Don't sigh because of temporary success or failure!"
After hearing Fei Yanggu's persuasion, Yue Le thought about it, and it was like this, so he sighed, and then said to the sky: "My ancestors of the Qing Dynasty are above me, but I, Yue Le, am greedy for life and fear of death. In fact, The country and the country of the Qing Dynasty are the most important thing! I, Yue Le, will go to Xi'an now and join the green camp soldiers of Shaanxi Governor Jia Hanfu. We will assemble the green camp and fight to the death with the Ming thieves to regain our mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty!"
After saying that, Yue Le waved his riding whip:
"Let's go to Xi'an!"
