The Ming Dynasty started with caution
Chapter 787 Two-in-one
Nanchang City is eighty miles away from the city.
The soldiers and horses came in large numbers, and the people were either holding swords and guns or holding hoes, and they were in high spirits. Although their weapons and armor were inferior, there were more than 200,000 people.
The rebels in front were equipped with newly made armor and weapons, the same as the elite troops of the court.
The people outside the city heard the news and retreated to Nanchang City.
If the city of Nanchang was breached, the people in the surrounding counties would also be in panic.
Qi Yanming looked at Wang Shouren and asked, "Which city gate should we attack?"
"Wait a minute." Wang Shouren said.
Ning Wangfu, in the courtyard.
Zhu Chenhao hugged Concubine Lou to appreciate the plum blossoms. It was February, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom.
"For several months, that rebellious son has pissed me off."
Only by hugging Concubine Lou could he feel a little comfort and warmth.
Concubine Lou's eyes moved slightly, and she comforted him: "The prince is thinking about the prince, can the prince forgive him?"
"In this palace, I don't trust anyone except you, and the rebellious son is the same." Zhu Chenhao said that Yan Chengjin could bribe the prince, and he must be able to bribe others.
At this time, Zhang Bailing rushed into the courtyard and bowed: "Prince, there are 200,000 rebels outside the city to attack the city. There are 10,000 elite cavalry and about 30,000 sword and shield soldiers. They have arrived at Panjiagou outside Nanchang."
Zhu Chenhao was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he almost jumped up in surprise.
"I want to rebel too, why are they beating me?"
Zhang Bailing also felt strange.
The Ning Wangfu is a vassal state with a certain number of troops stationed. It is easier to capture places with weak troops such as Yangzhou and Huizhou than to attack Nanchang.
"It's too late to think about it. The army has arrived outside the city. How should the prince deal with it?" Zhang Bailing asked.
Zhu Chenhao thought for a moment before saying, "Call Liu Yangzheng."
At this time, in the prison of the Bookkeeping Hall,
there were two beggars on the wet straw, both of them were disheveled and had not washed for many days.
Tang Yin looked at the other person restlessly, and said with difficulty, "Brother Gongluo, I still have a lot of things to do and don't want to die."
"Lord Yan will definitely send people to attack the city if he knows that I have failed. You can't die."
Zhu Gongluo stood under the wall window, looking at the alley outside the window, and said quietly.
With Yan Chengjin's temperament, he would not only plant Concubine Lou.
During the time in the palace, he also felt that there were other spies.
I wonder who that person is?
The news of his imprisonment must have reached Yan Chengjin a long time ago.
Suddenly hearing the noise outside, Zhu Gongluo was delighted and hurried to the prison door: "What happened in the city?"
"Two hundred thousand rebels outside the city are going to capture Nanchang City." The drunken jailer cheered up and said while picking up his sword.
"Take me to see my father and I will reward you with 100 taels of silver, how about it?"
About half a minute later, Zhu Gongluo came to the main hall of the palace.
The counselors of the palace gathered together, all frowning.
Zhu Chenhao was sitting in the hall, looking at his once proud eldest son, "Are you here to admit your mistakes?"
"No, I am here to persuade my father to surrender. The three-year agreement between me and Yan Chengjin only has one year left.
If I can't persuade my father, Yan Chengjin will take care of the aftermath. This is the agreement between me and Yan Chengjin.
The news of my imprisonment must have reached Yan Chengjin."
As the voice fell, the counselors of the palace all looked at Zhu Gongluo.
Zhu Gongyang continued, "The sudden attack of the rebels on Nanchang must have been done by Yan Chengjin.
Your son dares to conclude that if the palace defeats the rebels, the army of the capital will follow.
If the rebels win by chance, the army of the capital will also follow."
Liu Yangzheng turned his head slightly, wondering, "Why is the prince so sure that the court will send troops?"
Zhu Gongyang said in a deep voice, "When I left the capital, I left a letter of revelation to Yan Chengjin and signed it.
And Lu Wan has surrendered."
It was as if an invisible lightning struck Zhu Chenhao's head, and his eyes went black. Zhu Chenhao slumped in the rosewood chair.
The faces of the counselors were full of frost.
The charges were written and signed. As long as they were presented to the retired emperor Hongzhi, the charge of treason would be confirmed. Even if the court did not send the Duke of Ying to the south, it would send the Duke of Chengguo to send troops.
Zhu Gongyang looked at Zhu Chenhao: "Father, if you surrender to the court and become a commoner, you can still keep your wealth and honor. What do you think?"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Chenhao knew that he had to deal with Liu Chong's army first, "Master Liu, do you have a plan?"
Liu Yangzheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate and welcome Liu Chong!"
When these words came out, everyone's body was shocked, and their eyes were focused on Liu Yangzheng.
Liu Yangzheng said: "Liu Chong wants to rebel, and the prince also wants to rebel. Now there are 200,000 troops sent, why not take them into the account?"
In this way, the army of the palace has risen to 400,000.
Zhu Chenhao's eyes lit up, "Great, pass on the king's order, open the city gate, and welcome Liu Chong!"
Zhu Gongyang was helpless. His father had been planning for more than ten years. It would be like cutting his flesh for him to give up.
Being escorted back to the cell by the jailer, he thought all the way. Now, he can only send a letter to Yan Chengjin to ask for forgiveness.
Seeing what Tang Yin was writing in prison, he asked, "Brother Tang, I'll let you go. Can you send a letter to Wang Shouren?"
At this time, outside Nanchang City.
Liu Liu and Liu Qi were discussing which two gates of Nanchang to attack.
Suddenly, all the soldiers on the city wall put down their weapons and the city gates opened.
A team of people rushed out of the city and shouted, "What a coincidence, the prince is also going to rebel. Warriors, why don't you create a great cause together?"
Liu Liu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Wang Shouren: "Mr. Wang, is it a false surrender?"
Wang Shouren thought for a moment. If the Ning Wang had not colluded with the bandits, he could have prepared for another year in his fiefdom.
In this way, the Ning Wang was directly forced to rebel.
Qi Yanming shook his head: "No, once the Ning Wang opened the city to accept us, the crime of treason would be confirmed."
But he was still worried and sent a group of people into the city first.
After three days of garrisoning in the city, the Ning Wang not only gave them elite armor and weapons, but also allocated them residences.
This was not enough to show the Ning Wang's rebellious heart.
But when they saw the Ning Wang put the officials of Nanchang City in jail, Qi Yanming and Liu Liu and other talents were sure that the Ning Wang really wanted to rebel.
…
Beijing, West District.
Yan Chengjin received another letter from Liu Jin.
"Babur's alliance with Persia has become even stronger."
The Turkic Babur was the grandson of Timur Genghis Khan. He led his army to conquer the east and west and seized many places in Samarkand.
The princes' coalition led by Yan Song and Liu Jin retreated to Arag.
"The local natives recruited by Yan Song were not loyal at all. They joined the army just to fill their stomachs. It is normal that more than half of them deserted."
At this time, He Neng hurried into the courtyard and reported: "Young Master, Captain Ye has ordered you to enter the palace."
Walking out of the mansion and sitting on the sedan chair, Yan Chengjin came to the East Warm Pavilion. Zhu Houzhao had also arrived.
But the retired emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet officials had not arrived yet.
Zhu Houzhao whispered to Yan Chengjin: "Old Gao, Prince Ning and Liu Liu have conspired to rebel. Now, Nanchang City has more than 400,000 troops."
Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly. Zhu Chenhao finally rebelled.
More than 400,000 troops are not small.
Even the Beijing Camp Army in Nanjing only has 200,000 people, and no garrison can compare with Nanchang City.
The retired emperor Hongzhi walked into the hall with a solemn face, followed by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.
"You have read the urgent report, right? Why did Wang Shouren lead his troops to Nanchang?"
Chang Yuanxi, the Minister of Justice, knelt on the ground with a plop: "I failed to observe and failed to find out that Prince Ning had rebellious intentions."
The faces of the officials and officials were different.
They did not expect that Prince Ning really wanted to rebel.
Now it is difficult for the court to capture Nanchang.
"The Beijing camp has 300,000 soldiers, and the Nanjing Beijing camp has 200,000 soldiers. If they are combined in one place, the military strength will be far greater than that of Nanchang."
Zhang Fuhua shook his head and said: "Now there are uprisings in many places, and the Beijing camp cannot be transferred away from Beijing."
