The beloved concubines were stunned when they heard this. Their husband was really good at dancing, and he spoke it in a decent way, as if it was true.
Seeing that his remarks were a little too shocking, Zhu Qiyu further explained: "The reason why the Miao people dared to confront the Ming army head-on, and they would rather pay the price of more than 100,000 casualties, but also severely damage our army, shows that they also have heroes among them who can control the Ming army." People stick together.
Since there is a hero, he must dare to do extraordinary things.
There is also Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, who can also be regarded as the number one hero.
I covered my head and sighed, not because King Xiang was captured, but because I had to fight these heroes thousands of miles apart.
Oops, the pressure is so great. If I win the fight, I might be able to recover the Miao people and use them for my use. At the same time, he could control Wang Ji and thus control the Ming army in the south.
If the struggle is lost, at least it will make people laugh, and at worst, the situation in the south will be corrupted, leading to instability in the throne. "
Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Then why doesn't your husband send even half of his confidants to the south?"
"Hey, don't mention this. If you send someone with weak abilities, they will only be played around by Wang Ji and others. If you send close civil servants like He Yi and Huang Pu over, if nothing happens, they will soon be inexplicable." Accidental Death.
Send your confidants and soldiers there. Please refer to Anyuan Hou Liu Pu for the outcome.
So I won't send even half of my close friends. I can't push people into the fire pit and watch them die.
It's better to let Wang Ji perform freely there, while I watch quietly from the capital.
When he makes a move, I take the move. If he doesn't take action, we will continue to have children. "
…
Half a month passed by in a flash.
April 1st arrives in a blink of an eye.
In the Chinese army's tent, Wang Ji, Liang Yue, Fang Ying, and Hou Jing read the imperial edict from the capital.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor actually ordered to stop the siege and hold peace talks with the Miao people.
What satisfied everyone was that the emperor took all the responsibility and did not even say a word of blame to Wang Ji. This is really much better than putting people in jail at every turn when the Supreme Emperor was in power.
Wang Ji asked everyone: "What should you do?"
Hou Jing replied: "The Duke of Guizhou has led his army out of Yunnan and entered Guizhou. In fact, if we continue to fight, we will definitely win. Especially the Miao people, who lost more than 100,000 people in the first battle, have been injured and their vitality is exhausted." hurt.
Although our army also suffered a loss of 100,000 men, the main force was intact. If we wait for work and attack from three sides, we can determine a major event in one fell swoop.
At this time, His Majesty ordered the cessation of encirclement and suppression. Wouldn't it mean that the tiger should be allowed to return to the mountain? "
After Fang Ying heard this, she also expressed her own opinion: "I thought that your Majesty also knew everything that Shilang Hou said, but Prince Xiang's family was captured and they were all in the hands of the Miao people. Your Majesty can't do it even if you don't want to compromise.
Seriously speaking, it is definitely our responsibility. Had we not divided the main force into three groups to attack the Guizhou Miao army, leaving Huguang defense empty, King Xiang would not have been captured.
Now His Majesty has not held us accountable, but has taken the responsibility himself. He has treated us well. "
After Fang Ying finished speaking, everyone looked at Wang Ji.
Wang Ji made the final decision: "It's better to obey the order and stop the encirclement and suppression. Then cooperate with Yang Shan and redeem King Xiang."
After years of wars, the main force of our army has conquered Luchuan three times and is exhausted. Let's listen to the Holy Spirit and take the army to Nanjing for rest and recuperation first. "
Since Wang Ji had no objection, others didn't say anything more.
After some division of labor, Hou Jing and Liang Yue led troops into Guizhou and joined forces with the Guizhou Congress to ensure the security of Guizhou.
Wang Ji and Fang Ying led the main force of the Ming army into Huguang and joined forces with Shi Heng, Sun Boring and Liu Yongcheng to completely restore order in the Huguang plain area.
Fifty thousand new troops still guard Xiangyang. The emperor's newly dispatched Jinyi Guards and Shangzhi Personal Guards are stationed in Wuchang as a reserve force to support all parties at any time.
After doing this, the war completely entered a period of calm.
On April 10, Yang Shan finally completed his mission, reached an agreement with the Miao people, and finally led King Xiang's family out of trouble.
The Miao people gained peace, and the Ming soldiers were able to stop their troops and rest, and everyone was happy.
Everyone thought everything was perfect, but only King Xiang knew what his family had gone through: the hateful Miao people immersed themselves and their three sons in the cold streams in the mountains, and then fed them special medicinal herbs.
Although King Xiang didn't know what these herbs were, one thing was very clear and intuitive: after being tortured by the Miao people, he had no reaction at all when faced with the two newly acquired concubines!
It was okay if he didn't react, but his son's body was also damaged.
King Xiang finally panicked: He didn't have any grandchildren yet. If things didn't get better, King Xiang's line would only be passed down to the second generation and the country would be exterminated.
More importantly, outsiders have no way of knowing such a private issue, and there is no way to seek justice for King Xiang.
Fortunately, after returning to the palace in Changsha, the two new concubines of King Xiang secretly passed on the news.
Zhu Qiyu sent people to build two princely-sized mansions in Changsha for the residence of the princes of Dongwu and Xiwu.
At this time, the construction of the two palaces had already started, so Zhu Qiyu had someone he could use in Changsha.
The news sent by the two beloved concubines was quickly sent to Beijing through Zhu Qiyu's cronies in Changsha.
April 20th, early morning.
Zhu Qiyu was still lying on the bed, and Qianxue walked in with a smile and a secret letter.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu also asked with a smile: "Is it the news from Wala, or from the southwest?"
Qianxue smiled and said: "It came from our informants in Prince Xiang's Mansion. Whether my husband's great dance is successful or not, it all lies in this letter."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu urged: "Sister, stop being so pretentious and quickly open it and take a look. Since ancient times, great gods have not been so good at dancing. Hurry up and let us see if my husband, the great god, can dance well."
Upon hearing this, Qianxue handed the secret letter to Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Just tear it down."
After receiving clear instructions from Zhu Qiyu, Qianxue opened the secret letter, took out the letter, and read it aloud.
The beloved concubines listened carefully and couldn't help but admire her. Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "It turns out that immersing people in cold water can make them lose the ability to exercise human ethics.
It really left my husband guessing. These methods used by the Miao people made King Xiang really miserable. No one will admit to outsiders that they are incompetent. "
Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Give Prince Xiang's Mansion some gold, silver and jewelry as a token of royal gratitude. As for these secrets, let's just pretend not to know."
The beloved concubines all nodded.
Zhu Qiyu hugged his beloved concubines and continued to sleep.
No coincidence.
In the afternoon, another news came: the envoy to Wala had returned to the capital.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, Li Xian and Li Shi recorded what they saw, heard, said, and did in Wala.
Zhu Qiyu did not read it himself, but asked Qianxue to read the memorial once.
The most shocking news inside was that all the supplies brought by the envoys had been repatriated, and the poor Emperor was completely alone, herding sheep alone in Oala.
The beloved concubines became more and more frightened as they listened, but Zhu Qiyu seemed to have expected it. In the end, Qianxue's sweet and clear voice turned into a hypnotic artifact, directly lulling Zhu Qiyu to sleep.
