Chapter 128
"You said, Zhu Houzhao is married now, and the cabinet still came to trouble him. At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who is in his 20s and nearly 30 years old, couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately wanted to yell at him."

"But at this moment! People from the cabinet came to him again, but this time they didn't come to urge the marriage, but something big happened!"

"At that time, when Zhu Houzhao heard it, the anger in his heart disappeared instantly, and he said, what a big fuss, could it be bigger than your urging me to get married?"

"It's all about big things, and he's still talking about all the fuss, right? Okay, so what are the big things the cabinet is talking about?"

"Hmm...the matter is indeed serious. It was King Ning Zhu Chenhao who rebelled."

"It's quite a coincidence that this Zhu Chenhao's fief is the same as that of Haihunhou. They are both in Nanchang, Jiangxi."

"Okay, let's get down to business. It is said that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao suddenly rebelled. He not only killed Jiangxi governor Sun Sui, but also killed Jiangxi deputy envoy Xu Kui."

"Because the envoy was working outside, so he escaped the catastrophe. This Zhu Chenhao killed all the officials in Jiangxi, and then sent a message to the whole country to reprimand the court."

"At the same time, Li Shishi was established, Liu Yangzheng was made prime minister, and Wang Lun was made Minister of the Ministry of War, and began to send troops to crusade against the imperial court."

"Because this happened so suddenly, all the court officials in Jiangxi, big and small, died under the hands of Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao, and they reported to the court four days after the incident happened."

"The court officials in Jiangxi are gone, and only Zhu Chenhao's rebels are left, so Zhu Chenhao was invincible for a while, and soon captured Jiujiang and Nankang."

"Then the court has just received news that Zhu Chenhao has wiped out the entire Jiangxi, and he is going to send troops outside of Jiangxi."

"At this time, the imperial court panicked. It was too late to send troops from the capital to the south to suppress, because the distance is too far, and it would take several months to dispatch troops."

"And after a few months, no one knows where Zhu Chenhao will fight, so the cabinet decided not to transfer troops from the capital after asking Zhu Houzhao's intention."

"Since we don't transfer troops from the capital, where will we transfer troops to suppress the rebellion? That's right, we will transfer troops from the coastal provinces."

"The Ming Dynasty practiced the system of guards. Every province had a guard. That is to say, the guards were stationed by soldiers from the border areas. They were soldiers when they were fighting, and they were civilians when they were not fighting."

"In other words, the soldiers stationed in the guards served as soldiers during war, and as civilians when not fighting. Moreover, the coastal provinces were relatively close to Jiangxi at that time, so there was still time to deploy troops."

"Although the source of troops has been solved, who will be in command has become a difficult problem. At that time, the cabinet pushed Yang Tinghe to take command in person, but Zhu Hou took care of him because he was getting old, so he did not agree."

"The cabinet and Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and finally decided on the candidate to be in command. Who is it? Wang Shouren, who was then Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."

"When you hear about Wang Shouren, don't think he is some kind of Wang Shouren Thirteen Fragrances. This Wang Shouren is a serious civil servant, a first-rank civil servant."

"However, you may have doubts. What is the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing at that time? It is necessary to explain to you here."

"At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne, which was held in Nanjing. After Zhu Di robbed his nephew of the throne, he moved the capital to BJ."

"Because BJ is Zhu Di's hometown, it is relatively safer for him than staying in Nanjing."

"Although the capital has moved away, the rules established during Zhu Yuanzhang's time are still there. For example, there are six departments. At that time, not only BJ had six departments, but Nanjing also had them."

"At that time, a whole set of rules and regulations in Nanjing were retained. Except that this is not the capital and the emperor is not here, what BJ has is also available here."

"That's why, in order to distinguish between the six departments of BJ and the six departments of Nanjing, I call Wang Shouren's position in Nanjing the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."

"Speaking of which, you should already understand that the military ability of someone who can serve as Minister of the Ministry of War must not be underestimated, right?"

"But! At that time, the administrative agencies of the Ming Dynasty government were almost all implemented by the six ministries of BJ. The institutions in Nanjing had only a false name and a false position."

"Then why did the cabinet still choose to let Wang Shouren, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, be the head coach? And he is also a civil servant."

"Then we're going to talk about Yang Tinghe's eye for knowing people. It's said that Yang Tinghe and Wang Shouren had some intersections before, so they know him better."

"In Yang Tinghe's words, it is Wang Shouren who has a certain degree of military knowledge, so he is qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."

"In other words, although Wang Shouren is a civil servant, he can also fight wars, so there is no wrong appointment for him to be in command."

"Because it was too late to dispatch troops from the capital at that time, and Zhu Houzhao was not very familiar with Wang Shouren, and he didn't understand him at all."

"But the situation was critical, and he couldn't think too much. He immediately agreed to the cabinet's request and put Wang Shouren in command. From the day he received the order, he immediately led the troops to suppress the rebellion."

"As far as the imperial court's actions are concerned, it was quite fast. As soon as this side agreed, Jin Yiwei immediately took the imperial decree and set off to Nanjing to deliver the decree."

"I have to say that Jin Yiwei's work efficiency is quite high. It took only three days and he traveled non-stop day and night. He arrived in Nanjing in three days and successfully delivered the imperial edict to Wang Shouren."

"It's said that after Wang Shouren received the imperial edict, although he was a little surprised, he accepted the imperial edict decisively and immediately began to lead the army."

"When Wang Shouren received the imperial edict, Zhu Chenhao had already sent troops to AH Anqing, and the sword pointed directly at the capital."

"He probably meant to rush to the capital, capture Zhu Houzhao alive, and then ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he underestimated the strength of the imperial court."

"During the few days when Wang Shouren summoned the soldiers of the guard, Zhu Chenhao was not idle. As soon as the troops arrived at Anqing City, they began to order the attack."

"But Anqing's defenders are not vegetarians. Zhu Chenhao attacked two or three times in a row, but he failed to defeat Anqing, and at the same time he lost a lot of people."

"At this moment, Wang Shouren has already assembled his troops and is about to go to Anqing to suppress them."

"And on the day of departure, another decree came from the imperial court to promote Wang Shouren as the governor of southern Jiangxi and order him to suppress Zhu Chenhao immediately."

"Wang Shouren, who holds multiple positions, led a large army to Anqing, and within a few days, the army approached Anqing."

"When Zhu Chenhao heard that the imperial troops were about to approach him, he immediately ordered that Anqing must be shot down, and then continue northward to avoid confrontation with the imperial troops."
