Gao Yangzhi, who returned to the tent from outside, looked at the emperor's grandson with a gloomy and cold face, and he also looked not very good.
He first walked to the eucalyptus, took the memorandum sent by Changsun Gong in his hand, then sat back on his seat, opened it and read it silently.
In the tent, no one spoke.
Being selected as the accompanying officials of the Northern Patrol is enough to ensure that these people are trustworthy and reliable, at least in Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
And this is also true. Most of the officials on the Northern Patrol this time came from their own minds.
Everyone in the Chinese army's tent today knows what the current situation of Shanxi Road is and what Taisun will do.
It is precisely because of this that everyone looks gloomy.
Peng!
A loud noise sounded in the Chinese army's tent.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over.
I saw Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen's face full of anger and his eyes showing murderous intent.
"Presumptuous! Really presumptuous!"
"Shanxi Road is so brave!"
Yesterday, the emperor's grandson asked officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to help Shanxi Road clean up its accounts and raise enough food and grass for the army as soon as possible.
At night, the government's jiage warehouse in Taiyuan City caught fire. It was still in the heavy snow yesterday, and the government's jiage warehouse was burned to ruins.
Cao Zhen's face was furious and full of murderous intent: "Shanxi Dao is clearly trying to hide the truth from others!"
After saying this, the highest military attache of the Northern Patrol stood up.
The armor on his body clanged.
"Your Highness, I have requested an order to lead an army into the city to apprehend a traitor."
What happened in Taiyuan City was really too arrogant. So much so that in the past, the civil servants, who would always talk to military generals about using troops and would inevitably respond verbally, remained silent at this moment.
After Cao Zhen, the generals in the tent also stood up one after another.
"I ask His Highness to issue an edict and enter the city to put down the rebellion!"
Gao Yangzhi looked at the emperor's grandson's face, and then looked at the reactions of Cao Zhen and other generals. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The time has not come yet. Marquis Jingchuan and all the generals should stay calm."
Cao Zhen immediately retorted: "I dare to ask Mr. Gaoge, where did the opportunity come from? Who doesn't know who is rebellious in Taiyuan City now? Hasn't Mr. Gaoge not read that list? Taiyuan City can do such arrogant things now. This is our opportunity to lead the army into the city. When the army enters the city, we just arrest people according to the list."
"I second the proposal."
The generals spoke again.
Cao Zhen's eyes were sullen.
If Taisun's patrol in Bei didn't know the situation in Taiyuan City, it could be said that he would wait for the opportunity to act and wait for the situation in Taiyuan City to change.
But now, knowing clearly that there are people in Taiyuan City who intend to start a rebellion and still hesitate to do so, how can anyone be satisfied?
According to Cao Zhen's idea, the army directly blocked Taiyuan City, and the Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards entered the city to arrest people.
The fact that Zhu Yunwen was in the city and in the midst of rebellion was an ironclad witness.
As for the physical evidence, I imagine that as long as the army enters the city and searches, they will definitely be able to find it.
Gao Yangzhi was a little helpless and could only continue to explain: "When using the army, you should guard against arrogance and impetuosity. When planning things, you should not just look at the immediate future, but also need to take a longer-term view. If you follow what Cao Hou said, His Highness had never entered Shanxi Road. Before that, we could have issued an edict and mobilized the armies around Shanxi Road to besiege Shanxi Road. Why did we risk our lives and come to Taiyuan City in person?"
The youngest cabinet minister in the empire was helpless, but Gao Yangzhi also knew that this was the biggest difference between military generals and civilian officials.
Military generals only think about how to use the troops in their hands to solve problems.
Once the problem is solved, things will be settled. But what civil servants, especially at the cabinet level, and even the emperor's grandson considered, was no longer as simple as just using soldiers and horses to directly solve the problem.
If everything in the world could be so simple, there would not be so many unresolved problems in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Cao Zhen looked dissatisfied and said gloomily: "If Mr. Gao Ge said this, if it is placed in our army, it will be a serious crime of delaying military flights."
Gao Yangzhi's face suddenly darkened: "Marquis Jingchuan!"
"alright."
Zhu Yunxi, who had never spoken while sitting on the White Tiger Chair, gave a gloomy look.
If he didn't speak up, Taiyuan City would not be in chaos yet, but he, the Northern Patrol, would be in chaos first in the camp.
He first glanced at Gao Yangzhi, until the other person lowered his head, and then turned to look at Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen on the other side.
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "In the past, when King Zhongwu of Kaiping and King Wuning of Zhongshan used troops, would they be like Marquis Jingchuan?"
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun can be said to be two legends in the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army.
The most outstanding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that everyone in the Ming Dynasty needs to learn from their deeds.
Cao Zhen calmed down and lowered his head: "I don't have the strategy of the two old princes. I only know that Taiyuan City is full of rebellion, but I can only sit here and do nothing."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Not to mention that the Northern Patrol only had no more than 10,000 people in the camp. In Taiyuan City, has Marquis Jingchuan ever calculated how many people the rebels have?"
Gao Yangzhi whispered from the side: "According to the investigation, there are no fewer rebels in Taiyuan City than the soldiers and horses of Marquis Jingchuan."
After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth.
Zhu Yunxi took over: "In addition to these rebels and horses hiding in the city, Taiyuan City currently has Taiyuan Guards, Taiyuan Left Guards, Taiyuan Right Guards, and three guards. No one knows how many people there are in these guards. He was dragged into the water by rebellion.”
The number of rebels was twice as many as the troops in the camp.
There are also Taiyuan city wall guards, so it will be difficult to attack the city.
Cao Zhen was still a little dissatisfied and hummed: "The fighting strength of the Beijing army can be equal to that of two."
"Then what?" Zhu Yunxi asked indifferently, and then said, "Even if the soldiers and horses in the camp can capture Taiyuan City and kill or capture the rebels, will this matter be considered settled? "
Zhu Yunxi was very helpless.
If things were really that simple, he would have mobilized thousands of troops to surround Shanxi Road, charge in all at once, and kill all those who dared to resist, and the matter would have been settled long ago.
He sighed and looked around the civil and military forces in the tent: "You all know that the imperial court is currently implementing the Hongwu New Deal. People in this world are never of the same mind. You all agree with the New Deal, but there are more people are opposed to the New Deal.
Can you find all these people and behead them all? Or do you think Grandpa Huang can kill all these people?
There are many voices in the world, and it is the most difficult thing to stop.
If a large army enters the city today and kills all the rebels, I will know the truth and so will you, but will everyone in the world know?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, people all over the world will say that my Zhu family has no room for people and is killing people wantonly. With the suspicion of one family, the lives of common people in the world are taken away. "
This is the issue that Zhu Yunxi is always most concerned about.
All living beings are ignorant at all times.
They are simple and mostly kind, but there is no denying the ignorance of these people. They will only see that the Ming Dynasty's grandson led an army into Taiyuan City and beheaded countless people in the city.
They will not think about why the court did this, or they will come up with countless answers that are completely different from the truth.
The truth is actually not important to most people. What is important is that they have something exciting to discuss after tea and dinner.
Gao Yangzhi looked at Cao Zhen with a deep look and sighed softly: "Now that the New Deal has arrived, has Marquis Jingchuan forgotten the voices of opposition? At this time, everything needs to be considered twice.
If Marquis Jingchuan is allowed to attack Taiyuan City without any evidence, such a reckless move will inevitably generate a lot of opposition in the court.
The New Deal is not something that can be accomplished by just you and me. It must be done by all the officials of the dynasty and everyone in the world.
If today's incident in Taiyuan City causes doubts in the minds of those who were still hesitant, and even fear of being killed by the court, I am afraid that there will be no need for rebellion to bring trouble to the world, and the new policy will not be able to be implemented. "
Cao Zhen is a good hero.
Therefore, after he understood the truth, he showed an apologetic look on his face, lowered his head and whispered: "I understand. It's just that right now, we can't just sit back and watch Taiyuan City do such nonsense and turn a blind eye, or ignore it, right?"
Zhu Yunxi laughed: "Gu He once said that he didn't care."
After saying something mysteriously, Zhu Yunxi stood up.
The civil and military officials in the tent quickly stood up and watched the emperor's grandson walk out of the tent. Everyone followed closely and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
Arrived outside the tent.
Only then did the walking civil and military officials realize that countless Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards officers and soldiers had gathered in the open space behind the camp gate in front of the Chinese army's tent.
In particular, the generals who came out were all veterans in the army. Just by looking at them with military skills, one could tell that these Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards in front of them almost included all the officers and soldiers of the two guards.
Zhu Yunxi stood on the wooden platform in front of the Chinese army's tent, looking calmly at the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and Yulin Guard who had gathered Sun Cheng and Ma Hongqing.
He shouted: "The Ming army is mighty!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"My great grandson is mighty!"
The officers and soldiers of the two guards, numbering a thousand people, immediately roared.
Feiyu suit, embroidered spring knife, Ming heavy armor, wild goose feather knife.
The soldiers are heroic and the military formation is solemn.
The troops and horses gathered outside the tent at some unknown time made Xing Zai Wenwu who came out feel doubtful.
In the tent earlier, both the emperor's grandson and Gaoge Lao said that now was not the time to use troops against Taiyuan City.
But now the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and the Yulin Guard have gathered together, which makes them quite puzzled.
Zhu Yunxi looked back at Cao Zhen, and then named him: "General Affairs Secretary."
Wang Xinling came out immediately: "I'm waiting."
"Lead the people from the Ministry of Revenue into the city, and Sun Cheng and Ma Hongqing will lead the army to protect them."
Although he still didn't know what the emperor's grandson wanted them to do in the city, Wang Xinling immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "I accept your order."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and then waved to Wang Xinling.
Wang Xinling stepped forward.
After Zhu Yunxi gave him some face-to-face instructions, Wang Xinling's face showed solemnity.
Walking in the camp.
Sun Cheng, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu, surrounded by a group of officials from the Household Department led by Wang Xinling, and escorted by officers and soldiers of Jinyi Guard and Yulin Guard, began to set off towards Taiyuan City outside the gate.
Inside the city.
On the ground next to the government building, there was not only snow water stained black due to the exhaustion of ashes, but also streaks of bright red blood mixed into it.
The bright red blood was extremely dazzling, flowing along the ditch into the distance, reaching the snow that had not been melted, and in the blink of an eye, the layers of snow covered with ash were dyed red.
The culprit was dead.
The people from Sansi did not disperse.
In fact, Changsun Gong, the feudal lord, refused to leave, so the officials of the Sansi Yamen had no choice but to accompany him.
But everyone stayed away, leaving the place to the chief officials of the Third Division.
Changsun Gong's face was always gloomy. He never fell back to sleep because he was woken up in the middle of the night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The smoke and dust rising from the ruins of the surrounding jiageku also made people uncomfortable.
And Zhou Yunkun, Liu Liang, Guo Yuchuang, and Song Shenggui around him were not much better.
In the first half of the night, they were intoxicated and intoxicated, and in the second half of the night, they rushed back to the Yamen. Everyone looked a little embarrassed.
As for Yue Xinghui, the magistrate of Yangqu County, because he was the chief official of Yangqu County in Taiyuan City, he had the opportunity to stay with several elders of the Third Division.
Yue Xinghui raised his head to look at the sky and whispered, "The grandson should have received the news."
Changsun Gong looked sideways, and with just one glance, he immediately told Yue Xinghui to lower his head.
Zhou Yunkun clasped his hands together and said softly: "You should be considering whether to enter the city now. After all, it can be seen from yesterday's signs that Taisun has doubts about Taiyuan City."
"It would be better for me to be less involved in what Li Wenxiang and his friends are doing, and just sit back and watch the situation change."
Shanxi Daodu Commander Liu Liang spoke in a deep voice.
Changsun Gong sighed softly: "Wherever we are, no matter what happens, can we get away with it? Don't say what we said if we knew it would happen today. Even if Li Wenxiang is gone today, there will be Zhao Wenxiang, Qian Wenxiang and their ilk.”
"Now the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot it. But we can't put our wealth and life on people like Li Wenxiang."
Liu Liang's eyes flickered, and what he was thinking in his heart was unknown to outsiders.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
From the north of the government building that had been burned to ruins, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Yue Xinghui's eyes lit up: "Is the grandson here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Gong and others had already turned around and walked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
Yue Xinghui followed behind, hurriedly catching up with his official robe.
Everyone left the Jiageku area and went to the street in front.
I saw that Wang Xinling had already arrived with people and horses.
Horse hooves formed in formation, and pieces of flying fish uniforms rushed towards the officials of the Third Division of Shanxi Province.
The embroidered spring knife was dangling on Jin Yiwei's waist.
The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards were wearing heavy armor. Only their eyes were exposed, and the visor with fine holes shone with a faint light.
Yue Xinghui, who caught up from behind, looked up with a surprise expression on his face.
The emperor's grandson did not enter the city.
Even the cabinet minister Gao Yangzhi didn't come.
