It is said that Xu Qin, as the imperial envoy of the current emperor, was ordered to arrange the abolition of the Daning Dusi Yamen and the reward of the three guards of Wuliangha.
In fact, it was to provoke internal strife among Wu Liangha's three guards, Duoyan, Fuyu, and Taining, to achieve the Ming Dynasty's strategic goal of divide and rule.
But five days have passed.
On the sixth day, no news came from Xu Qin.
Zhu Di, who was in the Yangxin Hall, began to feel restless.
This matter is of great importance.
The Wuliangha Three Guards Camp has been stationed in Jiangpu County and Liuhe County since the siege of the Nanjing capital of the Jianwen Dynasty at the end of May this year.
Around the top of the mountain, they were divided into three major camps and stationed.
There are more than 50,000 and nearly 60,000 Mongolian cavalry, and they are all desperadoes who have experienced hundreds of battles and crawled out from the pile of dead bodies.
This is a big hidden danger.
They must be sent away from the capital as soon as possible and back to the grassland.
Zhu Di was about to send someone to ask what the situation was like, but when he looked up, he saw Zheng He, the chief chamberlain, running in in a panic.
"Your Majesty, something bad is going on... there's a fight over there..."
"The fight started...where...who was fighting whom?"
Zhu Di was shocked to see that Sanbao, who was usually steady, was so nervous that he was slapping his mouth.
Damn it, could it be that the remnants of Jianwen took the opportunity to cause trouble?
Zheng He finally took a breath.
He swallowed, opened his mouth and said urgently:
"They are the three Wuliangha guards stationed near Jiangbei Dingshan."
"According to the report from Jiang Fangjun, the three guards of Wuliangha will mobilize their own troops from dawn today to fight each other in the Jiangpu and Liuhe areas near Dingshan."
"The Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, and the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Neng, have already led their troops there. Jiang's defense army, Sheng Yong, is also on tight guard to avoid spreading to the capital and surrounding counties."
"They hope that His Majesty will issue a ceasefire as soon as possible, otherwise something big will happen."
After hearing this, Zhu Di was furious.
"Come here, I will take charge of the expedition myself and destroy these wild beasts."
The personal valet quickly changed his clothes and prepared his helmet and armor.
"Transfer the loyal guards over again, and I will lead the team myself!"
"His Majesty!"
Zheng He was frightened for a moment.
Zhu Di twisted his hands together and shouted:
"Go quickly!"
Zheng He felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to speak out to dissuade him.
Not long after, a large number of armored soldiers appeared in the square in front of Yangxin Hall.
The Loyalty Guard was a personal guard force that Zhu Di combined with the guards of the Prince of Yan, the Meng Yuan warriors recruited by Zhang Yu, the orphans of Jingnan soldiers, and the righteous knights of Jianghu and other places during the Jingnan Campaign.
There were not many people, only three thousand people riding.
But all of them are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They can not only wear armor weighing forty-eight pounds to fight in formation, but also ride horses into battle.
The will to fight is extremely tenacious.
In the Battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di led this unit to repeatedly attack He Fu's army. Even though he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Central Army troops, he was still able to fight his way out.
Zheng He and two powerful eunuchs personally dressed Zhu Di in armor.
He felt somewhat uneasy and tentatively said to Zhu Di:
"Your Majesty, will the ministers also follow you on the expedition?"
During the middle and late stages of the Jingnan period, he was Zhu Di's personal bodyguard.
"You don't have to go."
Zhu Di pulled on the breastplate, and the armor reflected a deep luster.
"Sambo listens to the order. I order you and Ji Gang to guard the inner palace city. This expedition will not cost much effort."
As he spoke, he straightened his skirt and armor with his hands, and after confirming that he could move freely, he walked out of the hall with his legs.
Fan Zhong, the commander of the Zhongyi Guards, was waiting at the door with a black and bloody horse.
Fan Zhong is very young, but he is a strange person.
He is over nine feet (2 meters) tall, has arms as long as an ape, and is born with supernatural powers.
He can shoot a ten-stone giant bow, is accustomed to wielding two hammers, and is extremely brave.
"Sambo, where is the King of Han?"
Zhu Di got on the horse and suddenly thought of something.
Zheng He was stunned, lowered his head with a grimace and said:
"Your Majesty, didn't you decree that he should be banned until the end of the year? He is at home all day, saying that he is thinking about his faults in front of the wall!"
After the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun jointly found Zhu Gaoxu, and severely reprimanded him for his private achievements in collaborating with military generals, electing him to the East Palace, threatening Xu Mansion and others.
He was punished by kneeling in the ancestral temple for three days and was banned from the house for half a year.
When Zhu Di heard this, his brows moved and he hummed:
"Facing the wall and thinking about your faults? I'm afraid you'll spend a lot of time and alcohol every day. Let him come over here and follow me across the river to quell the chaos."
Zheng He had no choice but to agree.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu finally arrived.
I saw him also wearing armor and riding a tall war horse.
But if you look closely, you will find that he is drunk and his face is so red that it reaches his neck.
Fortunately, he has an amazing capacity for drinking and has excellent personal skills. Even though he is like this, he can still ride steadily on the horse.
Zhu Di wanted to get angry when he saw this, but the enemy suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"Come on, come with me to cross the river and have a look."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to disobey and agreed angrily.
Many large floating bridges have been erected on the river for more than 20 miles.
Like facing a powerful enemy.
Zhu Neng's left army, Qiu Fu's central army, and Sheng Yong's Jiang defense army were all busy on the river in darkness.
Zhu Di took his loyal guards to the riverside, joined Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others, and passed directly through the floating bridge to a Chinese military camp of the three guards of Wuliangha on the top mountain of Jiangpu County.
Within a few dozen miles of this place, dust is already flying.
I saw thousands of troops galloping, shouts of killing, and the flash of swords.
At this time, Xu Qin, the imperial envoy of the imperial court, was wandering over.
Accompanying him across the river were Wu Kangbo, Xuli, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Jian Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Works, Song Li, and other important officials who took action after hearing the news.
Seeing the emperor's posture, the ministers and workers all understood that his majesty came to the military camp in person, which made Long Yan furious.
When the three arrogant Wu Liangha guards saw this, they had no choice but to stop fighting with each other.
The commanders of the three guards all rode their horses closer to Zhu Di's military tent.
These three guard commanders were the old men who were bribed by Zhu Di with a lot of money and followed him to fight against the enemy.
Among the three of them, Tuolu from Duoyanwei and Zhang Yu are brothers with different surnames.
Back then, Zhang Yu traveled nearly two thousand miles to Duoyan Mountain with a thousand taels of gold, quietly entered the Duoyanwei camp, drank wine and ate meat with Tolu, and finally settled the matter.
After Zhang Yu's death, Tuolu removed his military backers.
From then on, his voice among the Yan army and the Ulliangha people plummeted.
At this moment, they were full of murderous intent, with wounds on their bodies and colorful faces.
When Zhu Di saw this, he was filled with rage.
He shouted loudly:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"How dare you fight in the capital's Jiangbei camp without regard for face? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
At this moment, the young and energetic commander of the Taining Guards, Azashili, was the first to stand up.
He took a step forward, bowed to Zhu Di and said:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have to ask your imperial envoy Mr. Xu about this matter. He said that before we return to Daning Grassland, we must elect a leader and establish some system."
"The general's intention is that our three guards will take turns to take charge of the throne, but Zharuhuchal objects."
As he spoke, his cowbell-like eyes glared fiercely at the Duoyan Guard commander Tolu standing next to him.
