When they got the news, all the officials in the hall of the Southern Ming Dynasty took a breath, sighing in their hearts that Yang Chendong was brave, but also secretly scolded him for his stupidity.
If we only met and talked, the three provincial armies with hundreds of thousands of troops would choose to bow their heads. It would have been peaceful that day. Where would these wars come from?
After receiving and digesting the news, some officials proposed to take this opportunity to take down the land of Guangxi first. Because no matter who wins or loses, Guangxi will be marginalized because of its geographical environment. This is a good time for them to start in Nanming.
In this regard, Yingzong Zhuqi town naturally agrees. This sent Zhou Ziang. Sure enough, things went very smoothly. After persuading Bai Kun, Guangxi was rezoned to Nanming. Then came the time to grab the fruit. A large number of officials with backs and backers were assigned to Guangxi, and Nanming began to control this area.
At the same time, in order to cure Yang Chendong's death, he also sent a letter to Wang mubin of Xiping, asking him to find a chance to start. In short, it is a word to nail Yang Chendong.
According to the prediction of these officials in the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, King Wu Nan is credulous. This time, he will fall into a big somersault, and he is likely to be killed. If this is true, the Yang system will be in chaos, which is the time for Nanming to seize more interests. Even some officials cried directly in the court hall, lamenting the blessing of their ancestors. Once King Wunan died and the Yang system was in chaos, it was time for the rise of the Ming Dynasty. Once their strength was expanded, it would one day lay down the northern Ming Dynasty and reunify the world.
More officials had a direct idea. They should immediately contact the generals outside Yang's department. Nanming could identify them and admit that they were the local masters of the current area. The only condition is to help them capture the northern Ming Dynasty, so that places outside the Ming Dynasty can be allowed to develop, and they will not interfere.
Zhu Qizhen was obviously interested in the latter proposal and asked the ministers to analyze the feasibility of things and list all these personnel for future research.
When the Nanming court was busy for a while, new news came that King Wunan had won a great victory. He not only captured Zhu Huiyun, king of the three provinces, but also Wang mubin of Xiping, who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
It was like a bolt from the blue that hit the Nanming Dynasty hall, so that everyone couldn't believe it was true.
Didn't the news say that King Wunan just brought 500 people into Yunnan Province? But in the Yunnan mansion, Zhu Huiyun had tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands to 500, or in his own territory, how could he lose?
Unable to digest the result, Zhu Qizhen asked loudly in the court, "is Yang Chendong immortal? Can't you kill him?"
Facing the emperor's anger and questions, all the officials below bowed their heads, and no one could answer or explain, because this was also something they couldn't think of in their hearts.
Fortunately, someone in the chaotang immediately asked another question, that is, once the king of Wunan cleaned up Zhu Huixi and Mu bin, does it mean that he has settled Yunnan and Guizhou? Does it also mean that he will seek Guangxi next?
After all, Yang Chendong was willing to venture into Yunnan Province because of the peace of the three provinces. At that time, the court of the northern Ming Dynasty knew this thing, but it didn't happen. It can also be regarded as acquiescence. Now that people have the upper hand, they naturally have the right to get everything they should have.
After the new problem was thrown out, Zhu Qizhen, sitting on the Golden Dragon chair, changed his face. If so, the situation would be too bad for yourself.
A Ming Dynasty has been divided into North and south, and its strength is not as strong as before. If it is really losing the three provinces, how can Nanming get along with itself? More importantly, in the future, there will be no barrier between them and the five-star army. If one day, the other party has a bad intention, wouldn't it say that they can attack?
As soon as he thought that was it, Zhu Qizhen suddenly stood up from the Dragon chair and shouted, "no, absolutely not. The five-star army can really occupy the land of the three provinces, thus threatening the foundation of our Nanming Dynasty."
The emperor's great contrast startled the ministers at first, but then they thought that once this situation was really like this, they were afraid that they would not have a good life as ministers. At present, one by one, they also quickly made a sound and attached, and their attitude was soon unified.
When the thought was unified, he began to discuss the next things, which led to Zhou Ziang's mission to Yunnan Province. After all, he is on the front line and is very familiar with things there.
This was the court meeting before January. This time, all the ministers gathered in the Jinluan hall and said what was happening now, that is, 800 Li had been sent urgently. The five-star army did indeed send troops, and still came from Yunnan to Guangxi with a very tough attitude, and opened the gate of Sicheng with force. Together with the new magistrate Wang bang, they died.
The news came like a big dark cloud over all the ministers, making everyone's faces very ugly.
After getting the news last night, Zhuqi town almost didn't sleep all night. At the moment, his spirit looks a little depressed. He sits on the Golden Dragon chair and his eyes are red. He asks below, "Sicheng is lost. All Aiqing should know about this. Let's talk about the countermeasures."
After talking about this, Zhuqi town leaned his body against the Dragon chair and looked very haggard.
The emperor of Zhuqi town had bad luck.
At that moment when he was emperor, how powerful Daming was. He had just experienced the prosperous era of Renxuan's rule. He was strong in both military and economic strength. At that time, the emperor said that all officials should be respected. What a prestige.
And everything goes with the wind. A great defeat in military history has seriously damaged the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. The young emperor also had to go from the capital in the north to Kyoto in the south to become the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
In spite of this, Zhu Qizhen still refuses to admit defeat. He still wants to work hard and fight back one day to unify Daming and reproduce brilliance.
At that time, he was still very grateful to Yang Chendong. If it weren't for this person, he might have become the first prisoner in the civil castle, or even lost his life. So at that moment, he really regarded the descendants of the Yang family as important officials.
Who would have thought that Yang Chendong was more than ordinary. After leaving himself, he first returned to the northern Ming Dynasty and helped Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu fight a beautiful capital guard war. He would also be expelled first. Then he came south at his request. Then he had his own power. Until now, he has developed into a power no less than that of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
In Zhu Qizhen's eyes, Yang Chendong's Yang Department is no less powerful than Nanming. This is not that he doesn't want to look at all this positively, but that the following officials didn't tell the truth. Or do those officials not know what the Far East is? What is the Principality of Ross? In their eyes, such Mongolian tribes already exist.
The so-called ignorant are fearless.
If you don't know deeply enough, you can't experience the strength of your opponent. Until now, after the five-star army won Yunnan and Guizhou, it now sent troops to Guangxi and even dared to openly oppose the Nanming army. Zhuqi town felt the great pressure and clearly knew that the king of Wunan, who was personally sealed by himself, had a great appetite.
The ass determines the head.
Even if he was the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he would never allow anyone to threaten himself. This time, the ministers were called together to give advice for themselves.
Most of the ministers got the news last night. Even if they got the information slowly, they knew the whole story before going to the court. In addition to scolding Yang Chendong's boldness in the bottom of their hearts, they were also considering ways to solve the problem.
But what the five-star army did was really unexpected. Can it be solved by just saying a way?
Now the emperor asked, the following ministers couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while. We have to shut up one by one. After all, this is not the time to grab merit. Once we say something wrong, it will cause the holy master's anger.
The emperor asked, and all the ministers below became mute. Of course, Zhuqi town was unhappy. Slowly straightening his body, his face was a little more ugly than before. "What's the matter? Each of them usually thinks of himself as a virtuous minister and compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Now I need you. Why don't you speak?"
In the face of the emperor's question, the ministers' heads were lower and more cruel. They clamped their tails one by one, a posture of being transparent.
The reaction of the ministers fell into the eyes of Zhu Qizhen, which made him very disappointed. If possible, he really wants to replace all these ministers, but if he does, I'm afraid the Nanming regime will be really unstable. After all, Daming stresses that the emperor and scholar bureaucrats govern the world together.
He took a deep breath and forced his anger down. Zhuqi town decided to call the roll. Even if no one took the initiative to answer, he had to ask one by one, forcing them to find a way.
Even if it was the emperor's question, of course, he would not choose those insignificant officials. Zhu Qizhen's eyes looked at the people standing in front of the hall, and the first one named by him was Kuang ye, the Minister of the Ministry of war. After all, this involves war, and the Ministry of war has a great say. "Kuang Aiqing, what do you think of this matter and how to solve it?"
Kuang Ye is not young anymore. He can also claim to be one of the old ministers. Over the years, for the stability of the world in Nanming, he has worked hard and exhausted both physically and mentally. He went through almost all the guard stations in Nanming, and even several times in some places. He is absolutely qualified.
