Qianxue replied: "Huo'er suddenly brought King Yi with him, holding the golden sword given by the emperor and announcing the imperial edict. In addition, there were approvals from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, allowing him to bring a thousand people to the capital to pay tribute, and Accompany King Yi to meet Emperor Gongrang.
Huo'er suddenly asked to take King Yi into Dongsheng City for repairs. The guard thought that because there had been a lot of construction work recently to strengthen the city's defenses, there were a total of 80,000 defenders in the city.
Now Huo'er suddenly dared to bring a thousand people into the city. As long as he didn't have water in his head, he would definitely not dare to conspire in the city.
Then Huo'er suddenly took advantage of King Yi's illness and fever and stayed in the city for ten days.
The guard was very guarded in the first few days, but after Huoerhuda stayed for ten days, the guard relaxed his guard when he saw that the entire tribute mission was well-behaved and polite.
In the early morning of the eleventh day, Huoer Huda led an envoy of a thousand warriors, attacked the city gate defenders while it was dark, and then opened the city gate.
The 30,000 main force of Wala's cavalry who arrived quietly swarmed in, and the Ming army in the city was routed. In the end, more than 40,000 people were killed. "
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Thirty thousand main cavalry? Huo'erhu asked where did the thirty thousand cavalry come from?"
Qianxue spread her hands and said: "Yilibaili, Dongchagatai, and even the Timur Empire and the Golden Horde may be helping Huo'er Huda from behind.
After all, my husband's massive increase in troops in Gansu scared those countries. "
"Oh, it's so cold!"
Zhu Qiyu fell down and lay back on the bed, hugging the beauty to keep warm, and sighed: "The Ming army has a bad habit, that is, it doesn't like reconnaissance.
In three consecutive battles at Yanghekou, Yaoerling, and Tumubao, Ye Xian was successfully ambushed by Ye Xian. They did not conduct reconnaissance at all, let alone long memories, and did not learn lessons. It is really strange.
The same was true for the battles fought by Xuande Dynasty in Annan. They did not conduct reconnaissance or were ambushed continuously.
This time again, without reconnaissance, 30,000 cavalry were allowed to quietly reach the city.
It’s so strange and puzzling! "
Qianxue asked: "Now that things have happened, what should we do next?"
"Where did Huo'er suddenly kill?"
"After taking Dongsheng, Huo'er suddenly took all the grain, grass and baggage in the city, marched eastward, Poyanghekou, bypassed Datong, and headed straight for Zijingguan Pass.
At the marching speed of the Wala Cavalry, they have almost reached the Bauhinia Pass. There should be detailed military reports tomorrow. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Ask Lian Gang to publish the news in the newspaper immediately and issue an additional issue. In the afternoon, it will be spread throughout the capital, and the people will be ordered to stock up on grain and rice for at least ten days, in preparation for Oala's army to siege the capital again."
Qianxue asked in surprise: "You want to repeat the last defense battle of the capital? Husband, we live in Yuquan Mountain now."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I just want to scare the people in the capital.
This is the despicable mentality of people. If I don't scare them, after I put out the fire, they will feel ordinary and will not be grateful at all, let alone easily agree with my proposal to abolish the emperor.
Only when their vital interests were seriously threatened would they be angry at Emperor Gongrang's collusion and rebellion.
Only in this way can I depose Emperor Gongrang in the face of public support.
Lure Huo'er into the hinterland of Shanxi, which will make it easier for me to surround and annihilate him.
Don't worry, in front of Zijin Pass, Huo'erhuda will receive the gift I carefully prepared for him. It will be a big surprise.
Guaranteed he will be moved to tears. "
Qianxue's curiosity was aroused and she quickly asked: "Husband, don't be secretive and reveal it quickly."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In October last year, the 20,000 state guards and 20,000 Shenji battalion soldiers who went on an expedition to Annan had already left under the leadership of Liu Chang.
But they did not return to the capital, but secretly stationed at Zijingguan.
In other places, it may not be easy to keep secrets. But Zijin Pass belongs to Baoding Prefecture. This was the headquarters of Yingzhou Guards back then. They have been entrenched in Baoding Prefecture for many years and are deep-rooted local snakes.
As long as they try their best and go all out, they can still make it airtight. "
Qianxue heard this and praised: "Husband, you are thinking too far-term. After retaking Annan, you will send 10,000 Xiaoqi Camp and 10,000 Yan Guards to return to the court first to strengthen the defense of the capital.
Then they secretly mobilized 20,000 battalions of the State Guards and 20,000 Shenji Battalions to garrison at Zijingguan, and leveraged the State Guards' many years of operation in Baoding Prefecture to make them do their best to prevent the leakage of information.
In addition, you should have taken strict precautions against the Ministry of War to prevent information from leaking. There are no high-ranking officials in Emperor Gongrang’s group anymore. Even if they dig into mountains to collect intelligence, they can get at best vague and specious conclusions. For example, the Yingzhou Guards and Shenji Battalion have already been dispatched, but they have just arrived in Nanjing and are temporarily staying in Nanjing. Set up camp and reorganize.
This is really interconnected and step by step. Emperor Gongrang and Huo'er suddenly felt happy in their hearts, but they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap woven by their husband step by step. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled sheepishly: "This is the last time I will engage in conspiracy. After deposing the emperor and destroying Wala, the next step is to be honest.
However, this Huo'er suddenly has good answering skills, but he really has a tiger father but no dog son.
What a pity, I have to send him on his way. "
After explaining the whole story, Qianxue and Suxi leaned down respectively, kissed and kneaded each other, and then jumped out to deliver the order. But as soon as they arrived at the gate of Lingyu Palace, the two of them changed into sad and worried expressions.
When doing a show, you have to do a complete set. It is absolutely unacceptable to look confident.
In the afternoon, Lian Gang published the newspaper. This newspaper only had more than a thousand words, and it was distributed all over the capital like leaflets.
This stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the painful memories of the Tumu Fort incident and the battle to defend the capital came back to the hearts of the people in the capital.
At the same time, the cabinet and six ministers who got the news first rushed to Ganquan Palace and asked to see the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu reluctantly dressed up and came to Qingyun Pavilion.
After going up to the third floor, leaning on the soft couch, overlooking the Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, Zhu Qiyu's first words were: "Hey, time flies, and the lotus flowers are blooming again. In half a month, I will take everyone with me Aiqing, please go to the lake.
Our Prince Qi’s Mansion built a new building ship, which is quite exquisite. I also pretended to be a scholar. "
As expected, Liao Zhuang stood up and admonished: "Your Majesty, nearly 50,000 Ming troops were killed in Dongsheng City, and Oala will soon suppress the army. Why are you still in the mood to visit the lake?"
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What if I don't go to the lake? Anyway, you loyal ministers and righteous men of the Yuan Dynasty will sell me out sooner or later, so I'll just be free for one day."
For example, your Ministry of Rites, I want to know how Huoer Huda got the approval from your Ministry of Rites, allowing him to bring a thousand people to Beijing to pay tribute? "
Liao Zhuang gritted his teeth and replied, holding his neck, "Those were all forged by Huo'er Huda."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Aiqing is right, everything Aiqing said is right, very good, very good."
Not arguing with the dead, Zhu Qiyu still has some tolerance and self-cultivation.
At this time, Wang Wen stood up and questioned the emperor: "The approval documents from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are forged. So is the golden sword given by Emperor Gongrang in Huoer Huda's hand also a forgery?"
Liao Zhuang was still stubborn: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so how would I know. Even if it's not a forgery, it might have been stolen from Nangong by someone like Xiaoxiao."
Wang Wen replied: "Okay, Ruan Lang and other Chonghua Palace officials are all being held in the Jinyiwei Prison. We will all understand after a trial.
Besides, in addition to that, Huoer Huda also had in his hand a handwritten edict from the emperor asking him to accompany King Yi to Beijing for an audience. Isn't this a forgery? "
Liao Zhuang sneered: "Where is the edict? Please take it out and show it to everyone. If there is no evidence, it is just slander."
Based on Liaozhuang's estimation, as long as Huoerhuda was in his right mind, he would have burned the edict afterwards. In this way, as long as the emperor refuses to admit it, others will have no way to deal with him.
