Huang Pu continued: "Now the new king has succeeded to the throne and brought order to the chaos. To balance the grassland tribes, we can no longer let the Taishi family dominate.
I would like to give you a piece of advice, now this battle will decide your fate. If you suffer a big defeat, everything will be lost very quickly. "
Ye Xian asked helplessly: "Then what should I do? The Ming army under Beijing City and the Ming army during the Emperor's personal expedition are two completely different armies.
I can't attack, but I can't break, and I can't fight, so what else can I do? "
Huang Pu also replied helplessly: "I'm sorry, Grand Master, the official is receiving the salary of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. When the core interests of the Ming Dynasty are involved, please forgive me for not being able to advise you.
I can only kindly inform you that the Ming army will form an attack soon. This time the Ming army will attack directly and bombard the Gui army camp.
Please also make preparations in advance and pay attention to your own safety. The lower official said that he had finished saying that he would go back and report to the emperor, so he resigned. "
"Mr. Huang, it's raining outside. In such a cold weather, the Ming army still has to form an array to attack. Are you crazy?"
Huang Pu shook his head and smiled bitterly, indicating that he was helpless. There's nothing we can do about it. On a cold day, who doesn't want his wife and children to have a hot bed?
Sure enough, not long after Huang Pu left, Shi Heng, Fan Guang and others commanded the army to regroup. This time, all the artillery was pushed out and began to rely on the military formation to bombard the Wala camp.
After the Ming army completely stopped pretending, they discovered that the problem was completely wrong: the Wala army had no countermeasures, and it would definitely not be able to shoot arrows. No matter how powerful the crossbowman was, his range would definitely be inferior to that of the cannon.
Artillery bombardment, before coming to Beijing, all the captured Ming army cannons were thrown to Alazhiyuan who was behind the scenes.
This time it was better, the Ming army was not in a hurry and just pushed forward slowly. The Ming army's artillery shells first landed outside the gate of Wala Camp, and then the artillery fire hit Wala's camp. After that, some artillery fire began to fall into the camp.
Unless the Wala army abandoned their food and baggage and fled, they would definitely have no way to retreat today. They could only concentrate their forces and rely on their camps to barely stop the Ming army.
When it was almost noon, Ye Xian finally got angry. First, they organized the first batch of 12,000 elites, pretended to be "disintegrated", took dry food with them, and "escaped" toward Zijingguan. They were actually looking for favorable terrain to set up an ambush.
The Ming army did not divide their forces to pursue them. Zhu Qiyu had long emphasized that at any time, the Ming army must maintain the integrity of the formation, and they would only use the stupidest method to grind the position bit by bit.
Anyone who dares to disobey the military order and divide his troops to attack the enemy will be beheaded by the supervisor first and then in public display.
At this time, Zhu Qiyu was lying on the soft couch in the West Flower Hall, chatting leisurely with the ministers. There is a Umrah meeting today, and the people who come are relatively neat.
As the war went more and more smoothly, Zhu Qiyu's life became more and more satisfactory.
Gou Jian drank bitter bile every morning when he got up, and used the bitterness in his mouth to force himself to pursue the sweetness of victory.
Zhu Qiyu woke up every day, first took the softest jade in his mouth, and then silently recalled in his heart what Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli had done.
This is also called remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet. Every time he thinks of the three poor people Zhengde, Jiajing, and Wanli, Zhu Qiyu feels that his life is sweeter than honey.
The key point is that the current ministers really do not argue with the emperor on the bright side.
Although he already had a correct understanding of the behavioral logic of ministers in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu was still a little unaccustomed to his thinking.
Even Jingtai in history, such a cowardly lord, deposed the prince and deposed the queen with just one sentence, and not a single minister dared to stand up and oppose.
Oops, I don’t dare to think about it. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhengde, Jiajing and Wanli are so pitiful.
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood today and gave seats to all the civil servants who came to attend the court meeting.
When the emperor is in a good mood, the ministers are also in a good mood. Especially Zhou Chen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the more he looked at the emperor, the more he liked him.
Although Zhou Chen had no personal relationship with the emperor, among the important ministers present, apart from Chen Xun and Wang Wen, Zhou Chen liked the emperor the most.
Zhou Chen had worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry for twenty years, and he had seen many scenes in which former Ministers and Ministers of the Ministry of Industry were so embarrassed that they could not even cry.
The Ming Dynasty's finances have never been rich, so the Minister of Industry often encountered situations where work had to be done but the money was not available.
Especially when it comes to major projects such as the expansion of Xiyuan and the construction of the imperial mausoleum, it will definitely not work if the construction period is delayed. But the money was definitely not enough, so the dignified Minister of Industry had to beg his grandfather and grandma to go around asking for money.
But now it's okay, our new king of the Ming Dynasty really doesn't cause any trouble to the Ministry of Industry. To build the Prince's Palace of Nie, the emperor contributed money and effort; to build the Prince of Qi's Palace, the emperor contributed money and effort; to build the Prince's Palace, also known as Nangong, the emperor contributed money and effort.
Even the imperial mausoleum, which cost four to five million taels, was not repaired by the emperor.
Nowadays, Zhou Chen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is living a very comfortable and dignified life. The emperor also gave him the job of being a bachelor of the East Pavilion. Being able to join the cabinet and participate in the most important secrets was a great honor.
Zhu Qiyu asked Chen Xun in a chatting manner: "Mr. Chen Ge, where is He Wenyuan? When can he come to Beijing?"
Chen Xun replied: "He Shangshu's family is in Jiangxi, and it should be half a month before he can arrive in Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu nodded. There are now three bachelors in the Beijing cabinet: Chen Xun, Wang Wen, and Zhou Chen. The rest have either been driven away or have not yet come. Half a month later, He Wenyuan arrived in Beijing and gathered four bachelors. By then the war would be over, and peace of mind could begin.
Thinking of He Wenyuan's famous sayings, Zhu Qiyu felt comfortable. "The father owns the world, and it should be passed on to the son." Let's not say whether this is correct or not. At least it is much better than most ministers who waver around and have no accurate words.
Even if you are loyal to the Supreme Emperor, you can just say it openly.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu decided to test his current authority. So he asked the ministers: "Which princes are still locked up in the high walls of Fengyang now?"
When Chen Xun heard this, he motioned to Wang Wen with his eyes, meaning that I had just answered the emperor's question, and now it's your turn.
Wang Wen had no choice but to accept the hot potato and could only reply: "Jian Shuren and Wu Shuren have been released by Your Majesty. Now there are two families, Gu Shuren and Qi Shuren, who are being imprisoned."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Let them all go. The first King of Valley and the first King of Qi are gone long ago, why are they still imprisoning their descendants?"
Wang Wen immediately asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, where should these two families be placed after they are released?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard this. What does "after release" mean? You didn't even object, you just asked what to do after being released.
However, because Prince Gu was the younger brother of Princess Yongjia's first wife, Zhu Qiyu took the initiative to let Prince Gu's family go without the Princess having to ask. For Zhu Qiyu, the arena is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. You have to have some discernment.
As for Qi Shuren's family, they will all benefit from it.
Emperor Xuanzong killed his relatives without blinking an eye. In the third year of Xuande's reign, the former King of Qi and his three sons were killed together again.
In comparison, Zhu Qiyu is much gentler.
After being stunned for a while, Zhu Qiyu replied: "The title of prince can no longer be returned to them. Go and see who is the eldest grandson of the two families. The one from the Gu family will be named the Liling King, and the Qi family will be named the Le'an King.
Then each of the two families will follow their own prince to live in the fiefdom. How a normal county prince lives, that's how their two families live. Don’t pursue the past matters anymore. "
