Chapter 148 What to do?
Zhu Yunwen would never allow such a thing.
He actually doesn't care whether these are ancestral systems or Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work. He only cares about one thing, and that is how to secure the throne. Now that he is directly facing the threat from the north, he has to deal with these crises before making any calculations.
After all, everything requires money, and it is simply impossible for Zhu Yunwen to reduce his own income at this moment.
Therefore, Ding Xian can die, but the new law cannot be abolished.
This is the reason why Ding Xian survives, but his power is getting less and less. When the fighting on the front line is not tense, it is the time of phase change, and it may also be the time of Ding Xian's death.
Ding Xian also understands this.
He served Zhu Yunwen carefully and tried every means to cater to Zhu Yunwen's ideas. However, the relationship between people was like this. Xiao Tiantian before was now Mrs. Niu. When you are pleasing to the eye, everything is pleasing to the eye; when you are not pleasing to the eye, nothing is pleasing to the eye.
This is how Zhu Yunwen treats Ding Xian.
Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of capital punishment. Cao Guogong had harbored evil intentions when he was in Nanjing. Now I know that He thief's confidant Yao Guangxiao lives in Cao Guogong's mansion, and that this time the devaluation of new banknotes was planned by He Xi. year’s plan.”
"I just figured it out today. It's really a capital crime. I ask your majesty to grant me death as a thank you to the people of the world. I am responsible for Li Jinglong's affairs alone, so I ask your majesty to grant me death."
As he spoke, he kowtowed so hard that he almost bled.
Ding Xian found out some eyebrows in this section. He knew that there were people behind these things, but who was behind them? In fact, he is not very clear about it, so don't overestimate the level of his investigation.
Many things have become unsolved, not without reason.
But Ding Xian doesn’t need to know who it is? He needs to make Li Jinglong bear all these charges.
Ding Xian deserves death for every crime he commits, but he is essentially trying to survive.
He knew why Zhu Yunwen hated him so much. Did he mess up the matter soon? He could only try his best to save it, secretly hinting that this incident was not my fault, but that the enemy was too powerful and too cunning.
He also knew that this could not completely change Zhu Yunwen's impression of him. After all, as far as Zhu Yunwen was concerned, as an emperor, he was often result-oriented. The reasons were not important, but the results were important.
Anyway, Ding Xian has already failed in this matter. Even if he knew the reason, Zhu Yunwen would do whatever he had to do.
However, there is a little benefit to this.
When Zhu Yunwen heard what Ding Xian said, he immediately calmed down and said, "Is what you said true?"
Ding Xian said: "It's absolutely true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."
He was not sure whether this matter was what he said, but he was sure that he found out part of it and Li Jinglong should be involved. However, he was even more certain that at this time, no one would speak for Li Jinglong.
After all, the article Li Jinglong wrote when he defected almost overturned Zhu Yunwen's throne. Zhu Yunwen hated Li Jinglong deeply. At this time, it would be easy to get angry if he spoke for Li Jinglong.
As long as no one speaks for Li Jinglong, even if someone thinks it is wrong, it will be impossible to expose this lie.
Just as Ding Xian was talking about his thoughts, Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time.
Zhu Yunwen felt very complicated at this time, and thought to himself: "Why can't He Xi be used by me? Grandpa Huang, why don't you leave this He Xi to me? Have you left the throne to me?"
He complained about Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, and then said to himself: "He Xi, He Xi, why don't you die?"
After cursing for a while, he had almost vented his emotions, and then a trace of sympathy for Ding Xian arose in his heart. He felt that Ding Xian was also having a hard time. After all, as long as he fights against He Xi, no matter which direction or aspect he comes from.
Almost no one ever wins.
Even a general like Fu Youde was defeated by Bihe Xi?
Therefore, Ding Xian’s enemy is too powerful.
The logic that the responsibility is not mine holds true in Zhu Yunwen's mind.
What little sympathy there was dissipated almost immediately. After all, Zhu Yunwen didn't have much sympathy in his heart.
Sympathy has a source, and empathy is the source of sympathy. However, Zhu Yunwen has always been aloof in the palace. He actually cannot understand ordinary people, not to mention ordinary people, even some officials.
Where can there be much sympathy?
Zhu Yunwen was also caught up in his own emotions and said, "What should I do now?"
Zhu Yunwen didn't know who to ask this question, but no one dared to say anything.
After all, this question is too difficult.
However, Ding Xian was silent for a while and found that no one spoke, but this matter always had to be resolved. So he said: "Your Majesty, we must stabilize the southwest direction now. I ask Song Guogong to take charge of the southwest troops and horses, and transfer the Yunnan troops and horses to Sichuan to recapture Jianmen Pass before talking about other things."
The long front line has exhausted Nanjing's troops.
Now in the entire southwest, the only army that can be mobilized is the Yunnan Army.
But the Yunnan Army cannot be easily mobilized. After all, if they could be mobilized at will, Nanjing would not wait until now.
Speaking of which, Yunnan entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty only a dozen years ago. Before that, Yunnan was the territory of King Liang of the Yuan Dynasty. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was the territory of Dali. It can be said that after the Han Dynasty, Yunnan has not been occupied by the Han people for many years. ruled.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed throughout Yunnan. Most of them are guardsmen.
The reason why there are so many is because Yunnan is not peaceful and the number of Han people is too small. They can only immigrate to Yunnan in the form of Weisuo Army. You can ask the Han people in Yunnan now. Most of them migrated there during the Hongwu period.
This does not mean that there were no Han people in Yunnan before that. It's just that the quantity is too small.
The question is here, what will happen if all Yunnan’s troops withdraw?
Yunnan is no longer owned by the imperial court.
If this were not the case, Yunnan soldiers and horses would have been mobilized many years ago.
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to see such a thing. He didn't want to see Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work lost in his hands. This is related to the legitimacy of his imperial power. How can an emperor who has abandoned his land be recognized by the people of the world?
But now, Zhu Yunwen looked through the army roster. It was found that all the troops that could be mobilized were sent to the front line.
Sichuan supports Guanzhong, Henan, Shandong and Zhili support the Yellow River front, and Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong all focus on the navy.
The troops in Jiangxi and other hinterland areas supply the Nanjing camp. .
Let’s not talk about Nanjing Jingying.
Even if the war reaches the gates of Nanjing, the capital camp cannot be outside Zhu Yunwen's control.
This was Zhu Yunwen's instinct as an emperor.
After all the calculations, all aspects of the army cannot be mobilized to support Sichuan. With Sichuan's already mobilized troops and horses, let alone recapturing Jianmen Pass, it is impossible to defend the rest of Sichuan.
It is very likely that the enemy will drive straight in.
Although it is said that Mei Yin does not have many troops in his hands.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a long time and said, "Song Guogong can't do it."
Qi De said: "Your Majesty, the Yunnan Army must be recruited by high moral and respected generals. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Yunnan Army to abandon their families and careers to fight for the court. I think the Duke of Song should be the one."
Everyone knows that mobilizing the Yunnan Army is almost equivalent to giving up Yunnan.
The Yunnan Health Center has been operating in Yunnan for more than ten years. It has its own industry in Yunnan. Even the Mu family has its own farm in Yunnan. Now they just give up. How can these people be willing? After all, for example, when the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty was ordered to return home to quell the rebellion, the entire Anxi Protectorate gave up. In many cases, this cannot be established.
Moreover, the war between the north and the south cannot be compared with the Anshi Rebellion.
Without a highly respected general, it is very likely that this matter would not be accomplished.
Now in the imperial court, it is called
Among the most respected generals, Feng Sheng can be said to be number one, and only Fu Youde can compare with him. But Fu Youde couldn't leave at all on the front line. Among the candidates, only Feng Sheng was chosen.
What's more, it's not just the withdrawal of troops, but also the fighting. In terms of fighting, Feng Sheng is also a reliable candidate.
