"Sun Ni escaped and Qingyang failed to catch him. I heard that Sun Ni had defected to Hong Chengchou, and the King of Jin had already sent a memorandum of apology to the emperor." Zhu Cixuan had just returned to the palace from training, and before he could say hello to Yong Li, he heard
Here comes the bad news brought by Mu Guogong and Ma Shoufu.
He was so anxious that he ignored Yongli who had not spoken yet and asked loudly: "Sun Kewang only has dozens of horses left, how can he escape from Qingyang's pursuit?"
"Well, Qingyang said that he had not seen Sun Ni. He thought that Sun Ni was familiar with the terrain of Guizhou and escaped the pursuit of the army by taking false paths." Ma Jixiang hesitated, unable to explain.
Mu Guogong hesitated for a moment, bowed and said: "Back to your highness, my son is also in the army. According to what he said, the King of Jin ordered Sun Ni to be captured and killed. Sun Ni was rebellious and separated from his relatives. The governments in Guizhou refused to accept him and had no choice. Qingyang couldn't bear to kill him because of his nostalgia.
Then, the cannons were fired as a warning, and Zong Sun rebelled and entered Hunan."
"Father has sent word that Sun Kewang will only capture but not kill, King Jin..." Zhu Cixuan said half-way, knowing that he had made a mistake, but who of you present is not a human being? Duke Mu and Ma Shoufen looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Head away.
"Forget it, it is good that the King of Jin hates evil as much as he hates his enemies. He just made some mistakes and left the confession of apology unaddressed. There is no need to mention this matter again." Yongli said warmly, as if he didn't care at all.
Zhu Cixuan said anxiously: "Father, Sun Kewang knows the reality of our Ming Dynasty. If he surrenders to the imperial court, he will tell all the details about me. We need to make plans early." He regretted it at this time. Li Dingguo respected Yongli more than Sun Kewang.
There are many people who do not want to do it, and they will act arbitrarily and ignore Yongli's words. It was also because they thought it was simple at first. If Yongli officially issued the order, Li Dingguo would not dare to openly disobey it.
He was thinking in his mind and kept saying: "Father, all the military stations, passes, warehouses and roads in Guizhou were built by Sun Kewang. Most of the soldiers and horses in Guizhou are Sun Kewang's old troops. If the Tatars come, all actions of our army will be
There was nothing to hide. The King of Jin, King of Shu, and Sun Kewang were fighting extremely hard, but Hong Chengchou stood still and watched the civil strife in our army. His troops and horses were all ready and could attack at any time. Father, please give an order to the King of Jin and King of Shu.
, immediately redeploy Guizhou’s defense.”
Zhu Cixuan spoke hurriedly and quickly, and did not notice that Mu Guogong was stunned when he heard it, his eyes were shining. Mu Zhongliang praised the prince many times in front of his father for his extraordinary knowledge despite his young age, and his unique insights on military matters.
Duke Mu only thought it was a child's compliment to the prince, but at this moment he felt that what his son said was true.
Yongli said nothing and had no expression on his face, but his hands hidden under the imperial case trembled slightly, showing that he was extremely angry. He has been a coward since he proclaimed himself emperor. He was expelled by the Little Tang King (Emperor Shao Wu) and was expelled by the Tatars.
Pursuing, I spent every day in fear, and it was not until Xiying surrendered that life became easier. Sun Kewang was arrogant and domineering, but he had still stood firm in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. After Sun Kewang's rebellion,
The King of Jin and the King of Shu repeatedly reminded the King of Jin not to push Sun Kewang too hard, because he was worried that Sun Kewang would defect to the enemy. Unfortunately, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu went their own way. After all, Xiying is a group of thieves who do not know how to be loyal and patriotic. As an emperor, he really has no taste. Now even this son
I no longer have any worries, and I keep clamoring to go north to Sichuan every day. If I am the emperor, am I going to end up like a bandit and be surrounded and killed everywhere?
Sure enough, I heard Zhu Cixuan continue to say: "Father, if Guizhou is not defended, Yunnan will become the front line, and Kunming may not be safe for a day. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tatars are heavily concentrated in Hunan and Sichuan and Shaanxi are empty, my father should send a large army."
Enter Sichuan quickly, take Chengdu and leave Hanzhong, and then rely on the Kingdom of Tianfu to deal with the Tatars."
Yongli stared at Zhu Cixuan for a long time and then said solemnly: "According to your intention, do you want to give all the people in Yunnan and Guizhou territory to the Tatars for free?"
Zhu Cixuan gritted his teeth and said: "The terrain in Guizhou is rugged. We can leave an army to defend the danger and resist every step. As long as we strike first before the Tatars, they will be the ones panicked. Hong Chengchou mobilized elites from several provinces in the Tatars. As long as we strike first, they will be panicked."
Even though my father is fine, he captured the Yungui imperial court and couldn't spare him."
Zhu Cixuan licked his lips, looked at Yongli's face, and then said: "There are also a large number of soldiers left by the King of Shu in Jianchang, Jiange in Chengdu is also under the control of the government and the army, there is a loyal camp in the east of Sichuan, and Fengjie Wen
The governor is a veteran of Emperor Cai (Tianqi) and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Sichuan has good geographical advantages to defend. Moreover, Sichuan is rich in products. In peacetime, a single province can supply the needs of the Yunnan-Guizhou frontier army. Although it is a bit dilapidated now, we
Migrating the people from Yunnan there, my father is benevolent and loves the people, so it will not be difficult to restore Sichuan."
Yongli's face faded slightly, and he felt that what Zhu Cixuan said was reasonable, but in his heart he was always full of fear of such a large-scale transfer. He still had the luck to defeat the Manchus in Guizhou and settle in Yunnan and Guizhou. The Tatars had invaded several times before.
, weren’t they all defeated by the King of Jin and King Shu and returned?
"What do the Duke and the First Assistant say to the Crown Prince?" Yongli asked.
Mu Guogong said solemnly: "Your Highness has seen a lot, and what he said about the situation of the Tatars and Sichuan is generally correct. But the Wu thieves are now in Hanzhong. If they want to run Sichuan, they need to be accompanied by heavy troops. Mr. Wei Bao Wei has gone to Fengjie to contact the Zhongzhen Camp.
, Your Majesty can send an order to Mr. Wei, ordering Inspector Wen to increase the number of troops in Chongqing, Jiange, and it will not be too late to move to Jiange."
Ma Jixiang blinked his eyes. He was the best at figuring out Yongli's thoughts, and he was as timid as Yongli. How could he not know Yongli's thoughts? Thinking about catering to Yongli without losing the prince's face, he thought carefully and said: "
His Majesty has the weight of the world and cannot act lightly. However, what His Majesty said about running Sichuan is also correct. Although Sun Ni surrendered to the enemy, it is still unclear what he will do. It is better to send an army to Sichuan in advance to contact various ministries to prepare for the transfer.
The subsequent actions will be decided by the Emperor as the war progresses." He rambled on, not saying that he was going to Sichuan now, but also leaving an opening. In the end, he still used a procrastination trick to get over it for now.
Yongli finally smiled a little as he heard the fairy music. He nodded and said: "The first assistant Lao Cheng is sincere in seeking the country, and what he said is correct. The emperor's heart for the country is sincere, but he can't worry about it. Since the king of Shu has
We are stationed in Jianchang, and when things happen in Guizhou, the king of Shu will still guard Sichuan. The matter of welcoming the emperor will also be handled by the king of Shu at his discretion."
Zhu Cixuan unwillingly bowed his head and accepted the order. Sun Kewang's rebellion was known as the "infighting among the three kings" in history. The King of Jin and King Shu quickly turned against each other after defeating Sun Kewang. Yongli wanted to rely on Liu Wenxiu to run Sichuan, but that was just wishful thinking. After the death of King Shu
, Jianchang became increasingly centrifugal, and its defenses against Kunming were even better than those of the Tatars. The Western Camp was also torn apart under the discriminatory policies of the Jin king. The Ming armies in Sichuan fought independently, and were finally defeated by the Manchus. At present, the king of Jin and the king of Shu
There has not yet been a break, Sun Kewang's old troops have not yet rebelled, and the Kuidong Zhongzhen Camp still has strength, which is a great opportunity to conquer Sichuan.
Zhu Cixuan knew that it would be extremely difficult to move Yongli, so he came up with the idea of going to Sichuan alone. As a young prince, he did not have much say in Kunming, but when he arrived in Chengdu or Jianchang, his status would be very different.
Because Xiying and Zhongzhenying had been enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they were still uneasy and felt that their future was unpredictable. If I went to their army, I could calm their morale, and secondly, I could directly influence the army's leadership.
Kunming is much more free.
However, Yongli wouldn't even let him go to the imperial camp, and his daily training was in the palace. How to persuade him to allow him to enter Sichuan was a difficult problem. This chapter has been completed!
