In Datong Town and General Military Mansion.
Under the call of Chief Military Officer Yang Hong, most of the civilian and military generals affiliated with Datong Town have gathered.
"Everyone, my words are by no means alarmist."
"Right now, there are only two paths before us."
"Either you sit here and wait to die, or you give it a try."
The people who can come here today are either people from this smuggling group or people that Yang Hong trusts.
Therefore, there is no covering up, but intuitive opening of the skylight and speaking out.
Li Yuan sat aside and admired Yang Hong very much. This guy really did what he said. It seemed that he underestimated him too much.
Yang Hong had already made up his mind. Li Yuan was right, it was just a matter of death, so why not take a gamble?
He had already thought clearly that if the emperor really found out about his affairs, he would definitely not be able to survive.
It's better to risk your life and risk it. Maybe it will be successful as Li Yuan said?
When everyone present heard this, they all looked surprised.
Yang Hong actually wanted to unite the civil servants in the court to kill the king?
It's incredible.
"General, it's not that serious. Smuggling is a common thing in border towns. Even if His Majesty knew about it, according to my subordinates' estimation, the most he can do is issue an order to reprimand him."
"We are still guarding one side after all. As long as it doesn't go too far, His Majesty can only choose to turn a blind eye or close one eye. It shouldn't do anything to us."
"The Ming Dynasty has been in power for so many years. Isn't it true that the general must not lead himself to a dead end just because of impulse."
General Guo Deng said.
As soon as Guo Deng opened his mouth, many people immediately agreed.
It's just smuggling and selling arms. How can the matter be so serious? Isn't this normal in the Ming Dynasty?
At most, he would be punished and forced to raise his head to rebel.
Especially Wang Jing, the eunuch who oversees the army, was extremely frightened and his legs could not help but tremble.
Although he and Yang Hong were in cahoots, after all, it was just a relationship of interest, not a life-or-death relationship.
He really regretted coming here now. He thought that something good was waiting for him, but it turned out that Yang Hong wanted to rebel and wanted to drag him into trouble?
Seeing their reactions, Yang Hong was mentally prepared.
After all, no one would be calm about this kind of thing, nor would they follow him mindlessly. He could understand it completely.
He had already thought of ways and words to deal with it.
I saw him calmly and said with a smile:
"It's not that serious? This is just wishful thinking on your part. You've all been officials and generals for many years. Why are you still so naive?"
Now everyone was confused. What did Yang Hong mean?
"You still think it's the Wanli Year now?"
"Having eaten Kong Xiang for so many years and misappropriating so much food and grass, the court can find out with just a casual search."
"You don't think you're trying to get away with it, do you?"
"The current emperor is not a good person, nor is he easy to talk to."
"If we really get to the bottom of it, which of you sitting here will not go to that battlefield and get stabbed?"
"Think carefully, how many officials has he killed since he came to the throne? How many businessmen in Zhangjiakou are still alive?"
"If you think that the emperor doesn't dare to do anything if you have military power in your hands, aren't you too naive?"
"Those generals and wealthy families in Liaodong, if he issued an imperial edict, wouldn't he also kill them and bleed like rivers of blood?"
"If you have any luck, I can only wish you good luck."
After hearing Yang Hong's analysis, everyone became more awake.
If their affairs were revealed, considering the emperor's character and method of doing things, beheading would probably be an extravagant request, and the whole family would probably end up in Lingchi.
But this is a rebellion after all, and their psychological pressure is still very high.
You have to be at least 70% sure, right?
Otherwise, if you are reckless, what is the difference between that and sending yourself to death?
In this way, they might as well live in an ignoble way for a while, and maybe go in a better direction?
"Everyone, the famous man in front of the emperor, the great eunuch Wang Chaofu, went to the outside world a few days ago."
"This is a signal. The emperor has become suspicious, and the factory guards may have been secretly investigating."
"We don't have much time left. We can't hesitate now. We must seize this opportunity and make early preparations."
"If the emperor really wants to attack us, we will fight him to the death."
"And now the officials in the Manchu Dynasty are already dissatisfied and they absolutely support us. Although I dare not say that it will definitely succeed, it is still worth a try."
Li Yuan is still very good at observing people's words. When he saw everyone present hesitating, he knew that there was a high probability that he could win over him.
The rest is just a few more words on his part.
Yang Hong created pressure for them, while Li Yuan pretended to be a good person and showed them how to survive. The effect of this combination was really good.
After weighing the pros and cons, General Guo Deng also made up his mind and immediately said that he would follow Yang Hong.
He and Yang Hong were partners, and they were deeply bound by interests. If something happened to Yang Hong, he wouldn't be able to escape.
In this case, it is better to cooperate with him again and make a big difference.
Soon, under the inducement and instigation of Guo Deng, Yang Hong and others, the guerrilla generals, guards, and commanders who arrived here all expressed their willingness to risk their lives.
There are only a few left who have not expressed their opinions. In addition to Wang Jing, the eunuch who oversees the army, there are also several more marginalized generals.
"Eunuch Wang, everyone is standing together now. I wonder what your father-in-law means?"
Yang Hong stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Yang Hong was extremely disgusted with Wang Jing. Unfortunately, he was a supervisor, so it was more important to win his support.
As for other people, it doesn't matter to him at all. There is not much difference between having them and not having them.
But how could Wang Jing have the courage to rebel? Besides, there was no need for him to risk his own head.
He is over fifty years old and has only a dozen years to live at most. He is no longer short of money. Even if he doesn't work as a supervisor now, he can spend his old age comfortably.
"The general is more courageous than others. From our perspective, he will definitely achieve great things."
"It's just that our family is old and frail, and we don't know how to lead troops or fight. We really can't be of much help, so we won't hold back the general."
Yang Hong also understood what he meant. Since they were going to part ways, he had nothing to say.
But before he succeeds, these people will probably be unable to leave the General Military Mansion.
Yang Hong is quite prestigious in Datong. His family has been serving as generals in the Xuanfu Datong area for generations.
Therefore, these generals are also willing to obey the arrangements and instructions.
Under the leadership of Yang Hong, the generals in Datong Town quickly became a rope and began to win over the generals at the grassroots level.
And Yang Hong once again sent a caravan to go outside the pass.
It's just that this time is different, there is an extra messenger in the caravan.
