The cabinet has never been so quiet.
Xie Jin, Yu Xin, and Huang Zicheng were each sitting in deep thought, no one said anything, and what Zhu Yunwen called the approval note was placed on the table. Tie Xuan, Xu Huizu and others did not dare to speculate casually, and they all watched the cabinet ministers give an explanation.
A piece of paper, what does it count?
What kind of drama is the emperor singing? He either gives instructions or doesn't give instructions. If he gives instructions, he doesn't seem to give them. How can he be considered a genius?
Huang Zicheng was the first to break the silence, knocked on the table, and after everyone looked over, said: "It's a blank piece of paper. Although it has no words, it is not without instructions. Do you agree?"
Yu Xin, Xie Jin and others nodded repeatedly.
Although there is no writing, it obviously contains some instructions and will from the emperor. After all, with the intelligence of the emperor, he will never play tricks on others.
Huang Zicheng spoke again: "Since these articles are surrounding King Qi's rebellion, let us all express our opinions and opinions."
Seeing that no one else made any move, Tie Xuan stood up and said seriously: "This matter should be reported to the emperor again and he should speak out directly, instead of being such a child's play and letting us wait for speculation to decide."
Jie Jin waved his hand to signal Tie Xuan not to get excited, picked up the tea bowl and smiled slightly: "The emperor has given instructions, we just have to follow the instructions. Even if you go to Wenhua Gate to ask for an audience at this time, there may not be any results. "
"Xie Ge, do you already know the emperor's will?"
Xu Huizu asked quickly.
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng looked at Jie Jin, feeling a little depressed. In terms of political ability, the two of them may not be inferior to Xie Jin, but in terms of talent, intelligence and quick thinking, the two of them together may not be as good as Xie Jin.
The problem with the head is not that one plus one is greater than two. Three bad generals are really not as good as one Zhuge Liang.
"The emperor's meaning is very simple, that is..."
As Jie Jin spoke, he stood up, twisted his waist, moved his arms, and kicked his legs under everyone's gaze. Then he cleared his throat and shouted to the few who were about to run away: "Fuck you guys!" He, what nonsense..."
Xu Huizu and Song Sheng's eyes widened, and then they felt very excited. Yes, that's right, the emperor must have meant this.
Well, since King Qi has rebelled, what nonsense are you talking about? Just do it to him.
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed, probably, that might be what it meant...
First of all, King Qi rebelled, and the emperor would definitely not invite King Qi into the palace to hold a ceremony of abdication; secondly, the emperor must be angry, and he would even use swear words. After all, leaving these swear words in the text has some negative effects, so simply I won’t say it anymore, you can experience it yourself; in the end, the emperor will definitely not negotiate with King Qi, and he may even want King Qi’s head, and he would be too embarrassed to leave a text about such a thing.
After all, the emperor did not want to bear the reputation of ordering the killing of his uncle. As long as the emperor did not say anything, the imperial sergeant killed King Qi. It was an accident on the battlefield. Swords and guns have no eyes. I believe King Qi can understand it.
Neither Yu Xin nor Huang Zicheng expressed any objection to Xie Jin's explanation. Even if the emperor's words were not true, they were probably similar, that is, whoever rebelled would be killed without saying a word.
Yu Xin nodded and said: "In that case, the cabinet will draft an edict and ask the emperor to approve closing the gates of the capital, and order the deputy third battalion to station in the capital to strengthen defense. Tie Xuan and Liu Jun will jointly lead the defense of the capital, and Xu Huizu will , Song Sheng, the commander of the Zhengsan Battalion, arrayed outside the city, ready to fight at any time, how about it?"
Huang Zicheng has no objection.
Jie Jin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "The King of Qi's rebellion is fierce, but the Emperor is as stable as a mountain and remains calm, which shows that the matter seems serious, but in fact it is not difficult to solve. The strength of King Qi's men is no more than the three guards. Even if some people are recruited, it will still be difficult for 40,000 people. Facing such an enemy, it is worth mobilizing the principal and deputy battalions. This is not a war that will overwhelm the country! "
Yu Xin insisted: "Be careful when sailing the ship that lasts ten thousand years."
Xie Jin did not dare to object at this time. Although he believed that the King of Qi who had hurriedly raised an army did not need to trouble so many people, but others insisted that this was a foolproof strategy. If he objected at this time, something would go wrong one day and he would be held responsible. That would be tragic.
Xu Huizu and Song Sheng were both generals and knew that there was no need for so many manpower. However, the problem was that the city of Nanjing was very large, with as many as thirteen gates. Which gate King Qi would attack was unknown. If not Mobilizing the core combat power of the three major battalions will make it difficult to ensure a strength advantage in any direction.
Yu Xin drafted the document and sent someone to deliver it to the harem through the Wenhua Gate. Soon after, the document was returned to the cabinet, without changing or approving a word, but with a jade seal stamped on it.
Suddenly, the city of Nanjing, which had not seen war for decades, once again felt a sense of murderousness.
A large number of soldiers with bright helmets and equipment climbed onto the city wall. Under the setting sun, the thirteen city gates slowly closed. More than 30,000 people were temporarily recruited in the city to transport divine machine guns to the city wall day and night. The sergeants brought a large amount of gunpowder and artillery stones from Lion Rock and the Second Artillery Bureau and distributed them in place.
The people in the capital were shocked. Every household closed their doors, and a curfew was imposed again. No movement was allowed at night.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the people in the city heard the news. King Zhu Shu of Qi rebelled and wanted to capture Nanjing City. After learning the news, not to mention the people in the city, even the people who were in a hurry outside the city felt a lot more relieved. Those who had originally entered the city in a hurry to seek refuge. , I’m not in a hurry now.
As long as the Tatars don't come to kill us, there's nothing to worry about.
King Qi?
Forget it, with his little ability, why should he fight with the three major battalions of the Beijing Army?
Even ordinary people don't think highly of King Qi, which shows that this vassal king has come to an end. After all, he is not Zhu Di and is not very popular. When Lao Zhu was around, he didn't do much to leave a good impression on the people.
See, if you don’t work hard when you are young, you will only be able to do it in vain when you are older.
It's just that with King Qi's IQ, he really couldn't imagine so much. Looking at the more than 200 "warships" around him, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Although these boats are not very good, some are still small fishing boats, but what does it matter?
Back then, my father relied on this kind of fleet to defeat Chen Youliang's powerful fleet in Poyang Lake. As his son, I can definitely replicate the victory that year!
As long as we break through the navy's blockade and sail the fleet directly to Nanjing, things will be easy to handle. It will be easy to break through the city and ascend to the throne.
Zhu Zhu believed that Zhu Yunwen was about to die, that the capital would fall into chaos, and that his soldiers would be able to break open the city gate bravely and fearlessly!
Chai Zhi looked at Zhu Shu's expectant eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more solemn.
Although the three guards of King Qi were brought out in the name of military training, and many migrant workers were also brought in to serve as boatmen, the problem is that these people are not idiots, nor are they road crazy. They are on the road on the first day and on the second day. Heading straight to the south, even a fool would think about what kind of military training this is.
Once these people know that the purpose of this trip is Nanjing City, that the nature of this trip is rebellion, and the consequence is beheading, will they continue to run south, and will they contribute?
What if the soldiers mutinied midway and rebelled against King Qi? How could we deal with the matter?
Zhu Shu didn't care about Chai Zhi's worries. If these people followed him, he would only have one way to go to the dark side. Although he was not his own when he was alive, he would definitely be his ghost when he died.
What's more, their families are still staying in Qingzhou City. If they don't obey, what will happen to those people, haha.
Once a general succeeds, ten thousand bones will wither. If an emperor succeeds, how many bones will wither?
As an ambitious prince, he must not be merciful and must be cruel in order to achieve great things!
"Where's the front?"
Zhu Shu asked.
Chai Zhi looked ahead, took out the map, compared it, and replied: "Dongtai."
Zhu Su nodded and said: "Get ready to dock at Dongtai. I want to speak."
Chai Zhi saw that Zhu Su's attitude left no room for negotiation, so he turned around to arrange the docking. Half a day later, the fleet finally landed.
Zhu Shu stood on a high ground, looked at the soldiers standing on the beach, and shouted loudly: "You have heard clearly, I am not taking you south for training, but to take you to conquer the country. I’ll give you a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, and I’ll give you a chance to become a prince or a general! Nanjing is not far away now. As long as you follow me and work hard, you will surely capture Nanjing!”
The sergeants were in an uproar, making a lot of noise, and some weak-tempered guys were already crying. What kind of opportunity is this? Isn't this just rebellion and death?
"Silence, silence!"
Chai Zhi shouted loudly, but to no avail. Zhu Zhu ordered people to beat the drums. The drums beat together and the sergeant's noise subsided.
Zhu Zhu held a straw man in the palm of his hand, then raised it high and shouted: "This is Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen, now..."
With one strike of the knife, the straw man's head rolled off!
"Zhu Yunzhen is dead, and there will be chaos in the capital. We will take advantage of the chaos to start trouble, and nothing will go wrong. Immortal Master Danyangzi has calculated that it should not be delayed. July 17 is the time when the heaven and the earth will change. I have the dragon energy in me, and I will be the master of heaven. !”
A group of sergeants looked at Zhu Shu in confusion. Some sergeants stood far away and didn't even see clearly what was going on. Why, you waved your hand and Emperor Jianwen died?
If you have such ability, why did you go there earlier? Kill your father, the brothers in front of you and their descendants as well. Wouldn't it be better to become the emperor yourself?
As for the hassle?
Zhu Su ordered people to carry out several large boxes, and then shouted to everyone: "Kill one person, reward one hundred taels of silver, and the injured person fifty taels. The money is here, you have no way out, if you want to ask for a way to survive, just Go against me!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Chai Zhi shouted first.
The guards who had always been loyal to Zhu Su had to stand up and express their position. When the shouts of killing were shouted in the direction of the money, morale finally rose.
The wages of avarice is death.
Zhu Shu is not a fool. He knows that if he wants to make these people work hard, he needs to give them a good reason.
Unfortunately, I don't have the hatred for killing my father, the hatred for taking away my wife, and I don't have the clothing edict that can be used to appease the emperor, so I can only choose the simplest and most practical reason:
Make a fortune...
