The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Liu Liu and Liu Qi could not stir up much trouble.

But their slogans for the uprising were very brainwashing, "Building a country and supporting talents", implying that they wanted to re-establish a court where talents were valued.

The court only needed to suppress the rebellion, but now, Qi Yanming had heard of the School of Mind in Liangxiang and was considered a disciple of Wang Shouren.

What made the situation even more serious was that this person was spreading the School of Mind while rebelling.

Wang Shouren promoted the idea that everyone can be a saint, but in his mouth, it became that everyone can be a king, a prince, a general or a minister.

Even Wang Shouren did not remember that he had such a disciple.

Wang Shouren rushed back from outside the capital and was directly summoned to the Fengtian Hall. Wang Hua, a scholar in the Zhanshi Mansion, also rushed over after hearing the news.

"The emperor is wise, my son Shouren is educating the natives in a place with malaria, not caring about life and death, how could he instigate people to rebel?"

Wang Hua knelt on the ground, crying.

The gentlemen looked at Wang Hua. When the School of Mind rose to prominence, they knew it was a heresy.

Now it has finally happened, right?

Regardless of whether Wang Shouren instigated it or not, it is a fact that he used the School of Mind to recruit soldiers and horses, and he must be punished anyway.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, Wang Bo'an is loyal to his son and minister, and will never do such a rebellious thing."

"I naturally believe in Master Wang and the Wang family, but the traitor used the School of Mind to deceive, and in just one month, there were 300,000 troops. This School of Mind is too powerful."

The retired emperor Hongzhi had a worried face. The School of Mind advocated and opposed the preservation of heaven and the elimination of human desires, which contained the meaning of rebellion and resistance to the system of ethics.

It was too appropriate to use it for rebellion.

Liu Jian and others nodded.

Wang Shouren bowed his head and thought, his face was quite calm.

He secretly sighed that Qi Yanming was really a talent. He must have heard of his achievements and deliberately promoted the School of Mind. The court would definitely put him in jail to avoid suspicion.

In this way, he could not lead the army.

The uprising had a better chance of success. He really knew the generals of the court.

But he could not say this to the emperor and the officials, as it would seem pale and powerless.

The next moment, Wang Shouren looked at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and knew Wang Shouren's intention: "I don't know whether Qi Yanming is Wang Shouren's disciple, but this strategy is to prevent Wang Shouren from going to war.

If the emperor puts Wang Shouren in jail, it will be what Qi Yanming wants."

The court gradually quieted down.

Wang Hua wiped away his tears. Just now, he hurried over after hearing the news. He only cared about pleading and forgot to analyze.

The court could not send many generals. Wang Shouren had just gone to Shu to quell Lan Tingrui's rebellion.

He was the most suitable person to go to war.

If he was imprisoned by the court, it would definitely increase the chances of the rebels' victory.

All the officials suddenly came to their senses and showed a look of realization.

Yan Chengjin said: "And Wang Bo'an has many disciples in the world. If the emperor puts Wang Bo'an in prison, it will arouse the rebellion of these scholars. This should be Qi Yanming's second strategy."

The eyes of the officials moved slightly. They didn't expect that there was this layer.

Zhu Zaikun looked at Yan Chengjin with his big eyes. This man who fought with his father seemed to be more powerful than Master Zhang Sheng.

His father said that only his strategy in the world is better than Lord Yan.

But he thinks that Lord Yan's strategy is better than his father.

Li Dongyang nodded in agreement and said: "This Qi Yanming has strategy, but unfortunately he has a bad mind and cannot be used by the court."

The atmosphere in the hall was as calm as the confrontation between two armies.

Outside the hall, a guard wearing a flying fish uniform broke in, which made the emperor nervous. It must be bad news again.

"According to an urgent report from Cangzhou, Qi Yanming led his army to intercept the grain ships in Cangzhou, burned more than 1,200 grain transport ships, and then turned south."

The expression of Zhang Fuhua, the Minister of War, suddenly changed.

The army did not move, but the grain and grass went first. The place with the most grain and grass in the Ming Dynasty was the Grand Canal for grain transport. They did not attack anywhere else, but first seized the canal to intercept the grain and grass.

"He has some brains. I guess he will continue to go south, capture Nanjing and establish himself as king."

Cangzhou, Hebei is very close to the capital, and it will take less than two days to besiege the capital.

Qi Yanming led his army south, probably because he wanted to recuperate and continue to grow.

The emperor had a gloomy face. The grain transport ships were all official ships, and the court was going to allocate a huge amount of money.

"Wang Qingjia, take the rebels back to the capital within one month."

In this way, there is a chance to make meritorious contributions while guilty.

After the court meeting was over, Wang Shouren thanked Yan Chengjin: "Thank you Lord Yan for arguing for me in the court just now. I wonder if there is a note for this expedition?"

Liu Liu's uprising was beyond his expectation. Yan Chengjin summoned Wang Shouren back to Beijing for another matter.

"I hope Brother Bo'an will keep this note."

...

After Qi Yanming burned the grain ship, he led the army to retreat to Haozhou quickly to avoid being chased by the Beijing camp.

After setting up camp for more than half a month, a team of soldiers from the court came outside the camp.

"King of Laizhou, there is a man outside the camp, saying that his name is Wang Shouren, and he wants to see you."

Qi Yanming's celadon bowl fell to the ground with a clang, and his expression was a little surprised.

The court still let this man take charge.

Arriving outside the tent, Qi Yanming looked at the man on horseback: "Mr. Wang, you came for me, do you dare to enter my tent?"

"Why not, Brother Qi, please open the camp gate."

Wang Shouren lightly squeezed the horse's belly, tightened the reins, and walked into the tent as if strolling in the garden.

Liu Chong and Liu Shuai had heard of Wang Shouren, who had won many battles and seemed to have never lost.

"Yanming, kill him!"

Wang Shouren said slowly: "I came here to give you advice. If you kill me, there is still the Duke of England to suppress the rebellion. Why don't you listen?

This time, I came here to give you advice. Nanchang City is rich, and the city wall is so strong that one man can block the pass of ten thousand men.

With overseas as the back, if you can't succeed, you can still escape overseas by boat."

Qi Yanming has indeed been looking for a place where the army can be stationed these days.

As Wang Shouren said, Nanchang City is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not a problem to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

The city wall is several feet high, comparable to the city of the nine borders.

And even if you can't succeed, you can still escape to Poyang Lake and then escape overseas. It is an excellent place to live.

"Why did Mr. Wang help us?"

"My wish is not to be a high official with high salary, but to live for the people, which coincides with your desire to rob the rich and help the poor. If you don't believe me, I will serve as a hostage and march with you."

Wang Shouren said calmly and sincerely.

...

Yan Chengjin received the secret report from Yan Song.

Not long after occupying the Delhi Sultanate, the Turks took the opportunity to attack the Delhi Sultanate and seize the unrecovered territory.

The Turk Babur was the founder of the Mughal Dynasty.

The army he led was as brave as the little prince back then.

The soldiers of the three borders of the Ming Dynasty could still fight against them, but the peddlers led by Yan Song were too weak in front of the Turkish cavalry.

Even if Yan Song wrote to him for help, he could not send the Ming army to fight the Turks.

"Sir, the emperor summoned you." Zheng Qian walked in and said.

Chang Yuanxi could not find any crime, so he came to report to the retired emperor Hongzhi to see how to deal with those ministers in the palace.

Ning Wang has already submitted a petition to return thousands of acres of fertile land, and there is no evidence of guilt.

According to reason, he should be punished leniently, and the retired emperor Hongzhi said: "These ministers should be enlisted in the army and sent to Ningxia."

"I obey your order."

Chang Yuanxi stood back in the queue.
