Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen summoned Xie Jin and Yu Xin of the Cabinet, Tie Xuan and Yang Rong of the Ministry of War, and Xu Huizu and Song Sheng of the Chinese Army Commander-in-Chief. The six of them were not surprised by Zhu Yunwen's quick decision in the court, but were somewhat relieved.
Based on various intelligence and signs, it was concluded that major changes would occur in Daning sooner or later. In order to deal with these changes, the imperial court had been secretly preparing for half a year, making great efforts in deploying generals, food reserves, and military supplies reserves.
No one would have thought that in the name of transporting grain and grass for immigrants, the Ministry of Revenue transported more grain to Peiping, which then became military ration, and even transported some big guys out of the customs.
And all of this was done in the name of "grain", with no record keeping and no one checking.
After Zhu Yunwen took his seat, he ordered the chamberlain to serve tea, and then said: "In the past six months, the Chinese Army Governor's Office has deduced the Liaodong War more than once, but now the situation has changed. The initial assumption was that Duoyanwei colluded with the Tatars to seek Daning. and the surrounding pastoral rights, launching a war with a scale of 50,000 to 100,000 people. Now that Ha Shiha is here, what changes do you think will happen, and can Sheng Yong resist it? "
Xu Huizu thought about it and said: "Now that Wala is involved, it is not a bad thing for Sheng Yong. At least his pressure will be less."
Yu Xin was a little confused, thought for a moment, and soon understood the reason, and said: "There is a gap between Oara and Tatar, which has been confirmed. Although Hashiha controls Beiyuan, he only controls the tribes of Oara. , the Tatars did not truly surrender. If Wala, Tatars and Duoyanwei colluded, then this battle would probably not be a big one..."
Song Sheng smiled and said: "Naharshiha is too strong, and now he has brought elites deep into the Tatar territory. It is impossible to say whether his real goal is Daning, Liaodong, or Tatar. But in my opinion, even if the Tatars Tartar Arutai and others surrendered to Ha Shi Ha, and they could not serve as Ha Shi Ha's vanguard to attack the city."
After hearing everyone's analysis, Jie Jin was relieved and said: "From this point of view, Daning and Liaodong seem to be in danger, but in fact they are not."
Zhu Yunwen turned around, looked at the map outside the customs hanging on the wall behind him, and said: "This war is a bit inexplicable. Logically speaking, it is best for Oara and Tatar to recuperate and plot against Daning and Liaodong. It’s a little too early to tell. Once we are led to send troops to the North, we will be extremely passive towards them. Hashiha doesn’t understand this, but Arutai must know it.”
Although Arutai did not die in Yuerhai, his old friends were buried there after all. The Ming army's victory in that battle dealt a heavy blow to Bei Yuan, and what was destroyed by this blow was the main force of the Tatars.
Although more than ten years have passed since this incident, I believe that the person who holds this memory is not dead yet. At this time, if Ming is offended, are they not afraid that the memory damage will recur again?
Song Sheng analyzed: "Perhaps Hashiha needs to use a war to establish his prestige and intimidate the Tatar tribe, or he has reached some kind of alliance with the Tatars and Duoyanwei, and wants to jointly divide the pastoral rights outside the customs." .”
The others nodded and agreed with Song Sheng's opinion.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the map and said: "If you want to seize the land from the Ming Dynasty, you have to ask our sergeants if they agree. The only thing I am worried about now is Daning City."
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to answer them.
Everyone present was a human being. Although Zhu Yunwen did not name him, everyone knew that he was worried about Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
This is also the only variable.
If at this critical juncture, facing the Beiyuan elite who were several times his own, Zhu Quan had second thoughts, then Daning would definitely not be able to hold on. Once Daning is lost, Xincheng, Fuyu, and Huizhou City to the south will also be difficult to defend.
The question now is, does Zhu Quan have second thoughts?
Although the Security Bureau reported several times, Zhu Quan and Duoyanwei had a close relationship, even to the point of calling themselves brothers.
But King Ning himself is the leader of the "Three Duoyan Guards" and has nominal power of control. Isn't it normal for him to have close contacts with Duoyan Guards and Fuyu Guards?
No one dares to make a judgment easily before there is irrefutable evidence and before Zhu Quan takes real action.
Because the result of this judgment is really too serious!
You must know that King Ning is one of the vassal kings who is very good at fighting. Once he betrays the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the political impact will be too bad, who in the world can be Zhu Quan's opponent?
Sheng Yong?
Qu Neng?
Safety?
No!
Only Zhu Di!
Therefore, all this time, Zhu Yunwen did not touch Zhu Quan. Even if he explicitly ordered to cut down the vassal, he did not mention Zhu Quan. He just told him that as long as you are willing to take the initiative to remove the vassal king's guards and officials, then you can be the prince himself. place. If you don't want to be cut off from your vassal, then stay in Daning. I won't deal with you. Just defend the city with peace of mind.
Zhu Yunwen did not want Zhu Quan to rebel. Although history records that he was ambitious, he was still very dissatisfied even after being arranged by Zhu Di to Nanchang. He hid in his room wearing a dragon robe and asked his officials to call him emperor, making him look like Ah Q. Fan. After Zhu Di's death, when Zhu Gaochi came to power, he wrote a letter saying that Nanchang was not his fiefdom. The implication was that he wanted to move...
Regarding this guy, Zhu Yunwen knew that he was restless, but he didn't know to what extent he could be restless, and whether he could distinguish between national justice and hatred of family and country.
"Have you ever thought about it, if Nanjing wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it will take two to three months just to prepare. In addition, the road is far away and goes deep into the north. I am afraid it will take five or six months. After a war, the whole country will be destroyed. Half a year has passed. But if we send troops from Peiping, it won’t take so long."
Zhu Yun said without leaving any trace.
Xu Huizu did not realize the profound meaning, and replied: "Although our court is currently implementing a strategy of strong branches and strong branches, we should not exceed the main force of the capital wherever we are. If the imperial court wants to conduct a large-scale Northern Expedition, it is natural for the main force to be sent from the capital. Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, there is no other option.”
Xie Jin vaguely noticed something, but he was not sure. He only suggested: "Beiping is a strategic location in the north and can be regarded as the base camp of the Northern Expedition. Now that the people are increasing, it might as well be upgraded to Beijing."
"Beijing?"
After hearing this, Yu Xin and others were a little surprised, but they were not too surprised.
During the Hongwu Dynasty, there were "two capitals", Beijing and Nanjing, but the Beijing at that time was Kaifeng, not Peiping.
But Kaifeng was beaten to pieces by the battlefield. Even after being sealed as Beijing for many years, it had not returned to the level of the imperial capital in the Song Dynasty. The population was even smaller and the economy was lagging behind. Zhu Yuanzhang inspected several times and felt sad, so he added Kaifeng's " The title "Beijing" was cancelled. Although Beijing was not established afterwards, Peiping has become the de facto northern capital.
Under the current circumstances, it is logical to upgrade Peking and give it the title of "Beijing".
You see, the so-called Beijing and Nanjing actually mean Beijing in the north and Beijing in the south. The attribute of "honorary title" is greater than the attribute of place name...
Zhu Yunwen took a deep look at Jie Jin, nodded slightly, and said: "If Peking is upgraded to Beijing, then the fiefdom of King Yan will have to be changed..."
After all, the capital is similar to the capital of a country. Wherever there is a capital with a feudal prince's fiefdom attached to it, is this the territory of the feudal king or the emperor's territory...
Xie Jin, Yu Xin and others were a little depressed. Although King Yan handed over the three guards and officials, he did not move or hand over the land, so he was in trouble now. If he was asked to move, he had to find a similar place. Replace it, otherwise he will have to live and eat... "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. I think we can wait until King Yan returns to the capital and let him live in the capital. The court will collect his land and the income will be converted according to the old system. Just go to the King of Hell’s Mansion.”
Yang Rong suggested.
Zhu Yunwen approved Yang Rong's proposal, thought for a while, and said: "Let's wait until King Yan returns to Beijing to discuss the matter of changing Peking to Beijing. Whether there is a war in Daning and what the outcome of the war will be, we can decide within two months. We will know. As soon as there is an urgent report, report it immediately."
"I'll take my leave."
Xie Jin and others bowed and left.
Zhu Yunwen lost his mind and continued to approve the memorial. The long distance made it impossible for him to control Daning and Liaodong. Even if the Security Bureau desperately sent information, it would still take seven or eight days to get from Daning to Nanjing with the information. It’s been half a month since I returned home, and it’s useless to say what I say about how to fight the war and how it will be fought.
The only ones who can be trusted now are Sheng Yong, Qu Neng, and Zhu Di, who can handle all this. Maybe they should also add Yang Wen of Liaodong, um, Zhu Quan of Daning.
Entering the harem, Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered something and asked the guard at the gate: "How many times?"
The originally serious guard actually smiled at this moment and said: "Twenty-three times."
Zhu Yunwen was in a much better mood and ordered: "Then let them continue to come, show off their flaws, and it doesn't matter if they are caught. Always give them a little hope."
The guards nodded repeatedly, but they couldn't understand why the emperor was "playing with children" like this...
In the pavilion outside Zhongcui Palace, Han Xiayu pulled Zhu Wenkui and said, "We can definitely go out. We will hide in the car tomorrow. I asked about it, and a batch of medical gauze will be leaving the palace tomorrow."
Zhu Wenkui rubbed his arm, as if he had prickly heat. It was all Han Xiayu's bad idea. The weather was a bit hot today, and he even asked himself to hide in the quilt, saying that he would hold the quilt to avoid the inspection. As a result, he failed the inspection and was Someone was arrested...
"Okay, I'll come back to you tomorrow after I've memorized my lessons."
Zhu Wenkui felt very excited, and he was full of expectations at the thought of possibly sneaking out.
"What lessons are you going to learn..." Han Xiayu muttered a few words, then gave Zhu Wenkui two pastries and said, "Go back, your mother will scold me again if it's later."
Zhu Wenkui put away the pastries and scampered away.
Han Xiayu looked at the chambermaids and maids who had emerged from nowhere and followed Zhu Wenkui, and felt frustrated. It wasn't that he couldn't leave the palace, but it was because Zhu Wenkui was too eye-catching, and so many people were following him covertly and covertly. It was strange that he could sneak out... …
However, who told me to cover him.
Zhu Yunwen came over and said to Han Xiayu who was muttering: "It's not impossible to get out, as long as you memorize the Three Character Classic."
Han Xiayu was startled, turned around and saw Zhu Yunwen, and said quickly: "Brother-in-law, I don't want to endorse. I want to go out and have a look. You promised me..."
"What did I promise you?"
"Promise me to see the best scenery in the capital, eat the best cakes, and wear the best clothes..."
As Han Xiayu talked, seeing Zhu Yunzhen's encouraging eyes, he finally understood that he had been fooled. Isn't this the palace he was talking about...
"I'm not convinced..."
Han Xiayu found out that he had been cheated by Zhu Yunwen, and shouted depressedly.
Zhu Yunwen said sternly: "I don't care how you and Wen Kui find a way to leave the palace. As long as you can get out, it's up to you. But if you can't get out, you have to come back and endorse it properly. Wisdom is all in books. I remember there is a book , called "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, why don't you try it?"
"Can "Sun Tzu's Art of War" be released from the palace?"
Han Xiayu asked.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "As long as you can understand it, you can explain it clearly to Wen Kui. With the intelligence of the two of you, leaving the palace is just a trivial matter..."
