Having said this, he swallowed the saliva in his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, although the number of our troops seems to be large now, the only ones with real combat power are the twenty soldiers who were trained by Your Majesty in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Thousands of elite soldiers. In addition to the three thousand border troops stationed at Jingjiang Mansion on Guangnan West Road who were the first to join the prince, the rest of the troops, although they seem to be many, have very few combat capabilities."
"As for the Guangnan West Road, the five thousand guards who belong to it still have some fighting strength. The rest, whether it is the Fujian Road or the Guangnan East Road guards, almost all have real combat strength. Not only can they not share the prince's worries , and even the prince has to support them. The elite soldiers in the prince's hands, except for the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who are left to guard the Guangnan West Road, cannot be moved to suppress the barbarians and deter the ambitious Annan people. "
"Only 150,000 people can really be put into the battlefield. Therefore, I believe that unless it is absolutely necessary, we should avoid a strong attack as much as possible, so as not to cause excessive losses to the prince's elite troops. After all, the reinforcements from the imperial court have already arrived in Huainan. . Crossing the river south can be said to be fast. If our army suffers too many losses in these cities, I am afraid that it will not be able to compete with the four major battalions, which will be detrimental to our army."
"So, my opinion is that we can either recruit young men on the spot and use them to attack the city instead of our elite troops to save our military strength. Or the prince can mobilize a group of elite troops and select a few strong generals to lead them. Prepare. Good food and grass, bypassing Jianning Prefecture and Chuzhou Prefecture from Fujian Road, ignoring the surrounding cities along the way. Before the four major battalions arrive, go straight to Jiangning Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture via western Zhejiang."
"As long as we can seize Jiangning Mansion before the four major battalions cross the river. The imperial court's troops on the front line will inevitably be in a state of chaos, and our army can take advantage of the chaos to invade. Now the imperial court's roads in the south of the Yangtze River are in a state of complete decay. Guards. Those guys can defend the city, but they want to leave the city to stop my team from attacking Jiangning Mansion. I'm afraid even if they have the heart, they don't have the courage and strength."
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that there are not only mountains of money and food in Jiangning Mansion, but also King Yong who is in charge. If we can capture or get rid of King Yong, the Jiangnan army, no matter how loyal they are to the court, may not have much thought to fight again. We're going down. Therefore, what I mean is to select and deploy elite troops and strong generals, and while the generals who are loyal to the court, their attention will be drawn to the front line to split up the troops for a sneak attack."
This guy's move cannot but be said to be vicious. If the Duke of Guilin really followed his idea and sent out a group of elite troops to bypass the cities in western Zhejiang and attack directly, Jiangning Mansion, which currently has insufficient military strength, would definitely be able to make a surprise move. Even if it is impossible to seize Jiangning Mansion in a short period of time, if a large number of rebel troops appear in Jiangning and Suzhou, which are the core areas of Jiangnan.
It is also conceivable that the impact on the military morale and morale of the troops who are still resisting the imperial court will be imagined. After hearing this guy's suggestion, the King of Guilin showed extraordinary decisiveness. He knew that this was his best way to capture Jiangnan in the shortest possible time. He immediately nodded in agreement and pulled out 20,000 elite soldiers from the front line, plus all the cavalry. Carrying ten days of food, he detoured to the west of Zhejiang and went straight to Jiangning Mansion.
However, he was unwilling to be held back by several cities. He also ordered that all the surrendered guards be mobilized to the front and attack those cities within a time limit. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of several advisers, he would have even transferred all the 20,000 elite men left on Guangnan West Road north to join the war. After several letters were sent out in succession, he issued a strict order that the cannons that had fallen behind must be transported within half a month.
Otherwise, the commander and deputy commander of the Firearms Battalion will be killed without mercy. After several consecutive edicts were sent out, the face of Guilin County Prince still did not lighten up. He said to several counselors: "That stupid pig, are you still staying in the house honestly these days? He really thought that he was appointed emperor by Gu Gu, and did he really let him be the emperor? It's just a decoration, but he also wants to be with Gu. When it comes to fighting for power, who gave him such boldness and ambition?"
The stupid pig mentioned by the Guilin County Prince was none other than the Yuzhang County Prince whom he proclaimed as emperor. After the governor of Ganzhou and the military envoys surrendered to the rebels, the prince of Yuzhang County, who tried to escape but could not, was so scared that he peed his pants. I thought I might have to meet my ancestors this time. But unexpectedly, a huge pie unexpectedly fell from the sky.
Because there is no clan canonization in Guangnan East-West Road and Fujian Road. There was an urgent need for a person named Huang to be the emperor in order to control a puppet to divide and disintegrate the imperial court. The king of Guilin, who was an official in the south of the Yangtze River, directly supported him as the emperor. It's just that this guy was very unconscious and really thought he was lucky. Not only did she praise the Guilin County Prince's Palace with open and closed words, she was worthy of being the first hero in the founding of the country.
I know that the Huang family cannot fall into the hands of a Huaiyang remnant. Take the initiative to raise troops to support justice for the country. By single-handedly turning the tide and keeping the country from falling, they can be called Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, and Guo Ziyi of this dynasty, and the most loyal ministers of the Qi Dynasty. The short honeymoon between the two lasted for a full day. As a result, just one day later, the honeymoon between the two completely collapsed.
This man was so impatient that he even canceled the rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven when emperors succeeded to the throne. Because he was eager to ascend to the throne, he didn't even check the auspicious day of the zodiac. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to go through the necessary procedures. But he only regarded him as a tablet, so he had no intention of preparing these things for him. He said that if the emperor is virtuous, every day will be auspicious.
He directly put on the dragon robe. Emperor Hongwu, who was based in his Yuzhang County Prince's Palace, had irreconcilable conflicts with the Guilin County Prince who supported him in his ascendancy. That man dreamed of waking up to dominate the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman. I have never gone to see if the ancestral tomb of their family is smoking Emperor Hongwu. I really thought that if I put on the yellow robe, I would really become an emperor.
He had no objection to the title of King of Guilin as King of Han. If someone else sends troops and makes great efforts, and makes him the emperor, should he also be rewarded based on his merits? It is also appropriate to confer a title on someone from a prefecture to a prince. He actually didn't have much opinion on the title of Prime Minister. But Quan knew about military and state affairs, added nine tins, paid homage to his name, and went to the palace with swords and shoes.
This Emperor Hongwu didn't recognize his identity as a puppet at all. He really regarded himself as the emperor who shed blood for thousands of miles in anger and was born in accordance with the will of God. Whether he agrees or disagrees is of no use at all. Even his fake jade seal, carved from a piece of sapphire, had never been seen by him again except for a brief circle in front of him on the day he ascended the throne as emperor.
He still couldn't see the situation clearly, but he still refused to give up on this matter. Although he is a bit stupid, he has read some books after all. You know what, usually when a traitor wants to usurp the throne, he will give himself a title. After accepting these seals, the next step is to make room for him. Therefore, Emperor Hongwu, who was also confused but not completely confused, refused to agree to this matter.
As a result of his dispute with the Guilin County Prince, all his original palace guards were replaced the next day. Even the so-called maids in the palace were replaced by a group of extremely ugly women who couldn't even understand the words and were picked out of that damn place. When he was the king of the county, Emperor Hongwu, who always liked to engage in first-night power, could not even leave the palace now.
And the main hall of his original palace, which was renamed Chongzheng Hall and used as a hall for court meetings, was empty every day. No matter it is called Daqi, it is also known as morning court as the saying goes. It was still called Xiaoqi, which was a meeting of ordinary ministers, and it was never held. He, Emperor Hongwu, had never seen a minister come to court. Not a single minister ever reported anything to him.
Even his emperor, not even the Hanlin Academy or the General Affairs Department provided him with equipment. Even the drum music on the day he ascended the throne was improvised folk drum music used for weddings and funerals. And this Emperor Hongwu also makes people admire his strength. Even though this is the case, he still publishes edicts all day long. Today, a Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be appointed, and tomorrow, a Minister of the Ministry of Industry will be appointed.
The jade seal was not there, so I couldn't tell this guy. I don't know where he got a piece, which was engraved with the eight characters "Ordered by Heaven" and "Longevity and Longevity". Covered on a piece of white paper, it is considered his edict. There were no Hanlin or left-right scholars to draft the imperial edict for him, so he found a down-and-out scholar to draft the imperial edict for him all day long. Moreover, this guy actually openly showed off his position.
How much does a Six-Ministry Minister cost, how much does a minister charge, how much does a Hanlin bachelor need to pay, and how much does a Privy Council order cost. The things he did made the people responsible for monitoring him very annoyed. If it hadn't been for the repeated warnings from Guilin County Prince, he would still have to respect him on the surface. It's not the time to deal with him yet, he still needs his tablet.
Those people had given him a good beating long ago to make him understand what the real situation was. This is what the current King of Guilin is talking about whether this stupid pig is honest or not. Hearing the Lord's question, several counselors present smiled bitterly. None of them knew why the Lord chose Prince Yuzhang, who was notorious in the entire Jiangnan West Road, and even the entire Jiangnan, to make this memorial tablet.
Before the world is settled, it is a strategy to choose a member of the Huang family as a puppet. But there are so many children of the Huang family in the world, but they can't choose such a notorious guy to be this puppet. The Great Qi Dynasty was in the south of the Yangtze River, with five princes, seven princes, and a lot of generals and lieutenants. Even if you choose a person of Shizong's bloodline, you won't choose such a person.
Not only does this fail to appeal to the people, but it actually affects the fight for their support. The reputation of Prince Yuzhang is really bad. Now that he has become a puppet, he is still unable to correct his position and issues edicts randomly all day long. He also openly sells his official position, even if he doesn't even know the person who spends money to buy his official position. Everyone has a headache for this man who is reaching out everywhere.
Everyone has a heart to persuade the Lord in front of him. Rather than letting him cause trouble endlessly, it would be better to simply destroy him. Anyway, we have reached this point. This master's thoughts are already Sima Zhao's, and everyone in the world knows it. There is no big meaning in being secretive. Instead of keeping that pig and looking for trouble, it would be better to go directly to the position.
It's just that these few are now persuaded by counselors with bachelor's degrees. The king of Guilin pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I understand your thoughts. Now even if everyone in the world can see clearly, they still can't. At that time, at least in Dading in the south of the Yangtze River, before the imperial court and Bei Liao fought to the point of losing both sides, this so-called imperial court's signboard would have to be used at least for the time being."
"As for that stupid pig, tomorrow we will arrange for people to find and kill the guy who drafted the edict for him, as well as the bastard who was hiding behind him and specially carved the seal for him. Tell him where he is. From now on, if those people around him take any step out of the way, they will be shot to death. As for those people who are obsessed with buying offices from him, if they can’t do it, just arrest a group and deal with it.”
