With the issuance of the conscription decree, the capital will enter its weakest moment in the history of the Jianwen Dynasty.
One hundred thousand soldiers were too few for the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Huizu’s concerns are justified.
Tie Xuan was equally worried and suggested: "It is not advisable to draw more than half of the Beijing army. If the troops in the northwest are insufficient, they can be supplemented by troops from Sichuan, Shandong, and Shanxi guards..."
Zhu Yunwen interrupted Tie Xuan and said firmly: "The scale of this battle is unprecedented, and the strategic tasks are heavy and cannot be achieved without elites. The Beijing Army was the first to implement military reform. In the past ten years, it has eliminated weaknesses and retained strengths, reorganized armaments, and based on the war years There have been years of training, and the strength is not comparable to that of the local guards. The purpose of moving the Beijing army to the northwest is to deliver a fatal blow to Wala."
"But the emperor..."
Xie Jin came out.
Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "There is no such thing as the capital is in the middle of the world, so how can it be troubled by enemies? Unfair borders are the trouble. In the past ten years, there has never been a war in the capital. Don't worry too much and just act as ordered. Three days later, the Beijing army Do you have any objections to going on an expedition?"
Seeing this, Xu Huizu, Tie Xuan and others said no more and expressed that they had no objections.
Seeing that there was no objection, Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "The general's order has been sent to Peiping first. It will take some time for the Beijing army to advance north. If there is a change, let King Yan lead his troops to the expedition first."
"From today on, the mobilization level will be adjusted to the second level. All the national defense stations will be put into a state of combat readiness. Local prefectures and counties will make every effort to ensure the military grain and materials of the local guards. The grain and grass warehouses in various places will be closely monitored and supervised in separate areas. No mistakes will be made. Large quantities of purchases will not be allowed. Grain, replenish the granary.”
"Starting today, seven shipyards, including Longjiang Shipyard, Ma'anshan Shipyard, and Qingjiang Shipyard, have canceled their holidays.
There are craftsmen and workers working in three shifts. "
"Starting today, the Second Artillery Bureau, the Military War Bureau, and the Science and Technology Bureau will cancel their rest periods. All craftsmen will work in three rounds and work hard to build gunpowder, firearms, eight-oxen crossbows, crossbows, bows and arrows, weapons, and armors!"
"From today on, the government-run iron ore and coal mines under the imperial court are fully engaged in mining to supply military supplies. The iron smelting plant operates all day long, and the Dajian furnace does not go out day and night!"
"From today on, 500,000 people in Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili will be recruited to serve as corvees and serve as servants to transport food, wages and supplies!"
"From today..."
"From today onwards, all government offices and guard offices in the world will cancel their bathing days. Officials and guard offices will be on standby and ready to do their bidding at any time!"
A series of orders marked the beginning of war in Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yunwen looked at everyone with sharp eyes: "I know that this battle will cause many people to suffer, tire many people, and sacrifice many people. However, this battle is related to the fate of the country, future generations, and the future development process of the Ming Dynasty. Who will slack off? , delays, and negligence, so as to affect the mobilization of the guard post, the deployment of the army, and the expedition. I will never be lenient! Three days later, I will see you off and see off the Beijing army at the North Military Camp. Get ready to go."
Everyone took the order and left.
Zhu Yunwen sat down, looked at Yang Shiqi who walked to the door and turned back, frowning slightly: "Is there anything else?"
Yang Shiqi stepped forward and looked around.
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused. Yang Shiqi was rarely so mysterious. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he stepped back and looked at Yang Shiqi: "Say it."
Yang Shiqi said easily: "Your Majesty, I think that the construction of the new capital of Beiping has basically been completed. Although the three main halls have not been completely built, the Wuying Hall and the Harem in Beiping
, East Palace, have all been built..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Shiqi and said with a smile: "You want me to take this opportunity to move the capital. If Xia Yuanji finds out, wouldn't he risk your family's fortune?"
Moving the capital is not an easy task. Countless things have to be moved, and the distance is not short. Now that the navy and ships are supplied to the army, there is not much energy available for moving the capital. If we take the land route, we can travel thirty-five miles a day. More than two thousand miles, two months is really too long, and the cost is not a small amount.
Yang Shiqi was silent for a moment and said sternly: "I don't want the emperor to move the capital, but I want the emperor to patrol the north again and openly."
"Northern Patrol?"
Zhu Yunwen stared.
Yang Shiqi nodded solemnly: "There are three benefits of the Northern Patrol. One is to boost the morale of the military and boost morale. The other is to appease the people and stabilize the local area. The third is to benefit the emperor's safety."
Zhu Yunwen stared at Yang Shiqi and said slowly: "My safety? Oh, Yang Aiqing, you seem to have something in mind?"
Yang Shiqi did not evade, but said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Oara, Tatar, Uliangha, Uszang, Cheche, etc., took advantage of the imperial court's eastward expedition to the three islands in the East China Sea and the Northeast to fight against Japan and aid Korea. If there is no I don’t believe in the conspiracy. We discussed it during the watch and we all know that this matter is not a trivial matter. The presence of external enemies is by no means a serious problem, but the presence of internal enemies is a serious problem."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Shiqi, a little surprised. It seemed that he had underestimated these old foxes. Although they didn't know some things, they were keenly aware of the changes.
Yang Shiqi said frankly: "With so many forces attacking Ming Dynasty almost at the same time, if there is no
I will never believe in people's plans, instructions, and arrangements. Even with the current power of the imperial court, it is difficult to lobby many forces at the same time and guide many forces to move simultaneously. The only person who can manage such a big situation is the person in the middle. In other words, I guess that there must be a force lurking in the capital! "
"Especially the fact that Fengtian Palace was destroyed by a fire, this is even more confirmed. I am stupid and presume that what this force wants is probably not to truly conquer the world, but to vacate the power of the Beijing army! Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to patrol the north with the main force and leave an empty city here. If the city is empty, what's wrong with causing chaos? With a large army, any chaos can be quelled."
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly: "I can see that you have put your heart into it. Is this your opinion alone, or is it the opinion of everyone including Xie Jin and Xu Huizu?"
Yang Shiqi said seriously: "Everyone hopes that the emperor will be safe and sound, and that the Ming Dynasty will be stable."
Zhu Yunwen picked up a document and smiled faintly: "I have seen your loyalty, but I will not leave the capital. If I leave, when will this matter end? It has been eleven years and I have ascended the throne at the age of twenty. , black hair on the crown, although I am now more than thirty years old, but the queen helped me find more than ten gray hairs the day before yesterday. Now I can be regarded as a middle-aged person, running towards old age. The matter should end, Let it be over and it can’t be delayed any longer.”
"I really want to delay it until I am old and can't walk anymore. Haha, that will be Wenkui's trouble. I don't want to leave the trouble to my children and grandchildren. Don't worry about the things in the capital. I myself There are arrangements. Besides, if this matter comes out, what will happen to Daming?
Speaking of things, it may not be a bad thing, just go with the trend and it will be a general trend. "
Yang Shiqi looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen, his eyebrows moving slightly.
Zhu Yunwen laughed loudly, and Yang Shiqi also laughed.
At this moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding.
Yang Shiqi understood that Zhu Yunwen had long seen through the chaos in front of him, and planned to stay in the capital to use himself as bait to completely eliminate the hidden enemies.
Zhu Yunwen understood that Yang Shiqi had seen through his plan.
"Mr. Yang, would you like to have a chat with me?"
Zhu Yunwen invited.
Yang Shiqi readily agreed: "I will accompany you by my side."
This time the chess game is different from the past.
Zhu Yunwen placed the chess piece in the four corners, and Yang Shiqi chased him. No one paid attention to Tianyuan. It seemed that there was a blank here, and it seemed that he was waiting for the other hand to put down the chess pieces.
There is a cool breeze in the bamboo forest, outside the thatched house.
The old man took off his hat and stared at the chessboard.
The strange thing is that there are no chess pieces falling on the Tianyuan of this chessboard, but all the attention is focused on the edges.
coincide?
Or is it the commonality of resourcefulness?
The sound of footsteps came from the stone path, and a man wearing a white hat walked over.
The old man glanced at it and frowned: "Envoy Zhou, why are you here today?"
Envoy Zhou came forward, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "At this critical moment, he cannot easily come here again, not to mention that he is currently contacting that group of people and is unable to do anything at all."
The old man nodded slightly: "Tell me, what's the news?"
Envoy Zhou lowered his head and said: "Liu Changge, Pang Huan and others have indeed gone to the Navy and have not returned secretly."
The old man chuckled and said: "So, Zhu Jixi's arrest made Emperor Jianwen really let down his guard. Security Bureau
The main force is not here, so this is a good opportunity. Who has the final say in the current Security Bureau? "
"Tang Bu Ping, Huo Lin."
"The most feared thing about Tang Buping is his force, not his intelligence, which is insignificant. On the other hand, this Huo Lin is just a scholar, so he is nothing to worry about."
Envoy Zhou said in a deep voice: "Internal information shows that Huo Lin is by no means an ordinary person. This person is bold and careful. He had two interviews and confrontations with Timur during the war with Timur."
"So what? The overall situation is no longer controlled by the Security Bureau. Let's tell you other news."
The old man disagreed.
Envoy Zhou thought for a while and continued: "The news has come out from the capital that the army will move, a total of 150,000 troops. The expedition will be launched in three days. In addition, Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, and Ping'an will be the leaders. Yuan Yue was sent to fight with He Fu joins forces to deal with Wu Liangha, and at Wala, the court will send Hu Ming to lobby."
The old man stood up and said with a smile: "So, everything is going in the direction we planned. 150,000 Beijing troops have left the capital. This time, no one can stop us. Even if someone moves, it will not help. Tell him, The closer it is to the last moment, the more important it is to be steady, wait for the opportunity, and not act rashly."
Zhou Mishi raised his hand and adjusted his hat: "Don't worry, he has been dormant for so many years just for this uprising. We have been waiting for so many years just for this uprising. Countless people have been sacrificed, and it is time to end."
The old man stretched out his hand, picked up a black chess piece, and clicked it on Tianyuan's side: "Back then, there were four major cases with countless casualties. Back then, a conspiracy was born. Despite the bloody storm, we still survived to this day. It won't take long, It's all going to end! The big war, the big one
The game will finally begin! "
