Chapter 122 The king of subjugation is nothing more than this
The ministers talked a lot, but Zhu Jianji was silent for a while.
Give them time to digest.
Although Zhu Jianji had already noticed from Xu Bin's words that Xu Bin was probably just a pawn, Zhu Jianji didn't mention a word. Xu Bin was the mastermind in his words.
Intended to paralyze the enemy.
Zhu Jianji didn't know how many people like Xu Bin were lurking in the Ming Dynasty's court.
I don’t even know who left these chess pieces behind.
Very shocking.
The Ming Dynasty court was so riddled with holes.
Who is the person behind the scenes?
Are there such awesome people in Ming Dynasty?
Unexpectedly... racking my brains, I can't figure out who this person is.
And Zhu Jianji is very strange.
If the Ming Dynasty was really so bad, then many major events should have happened in the Jingtai Dynasty and Tianshun Dynasty in history, but it did not happen. There was only one coup during this period.
Is it because someone made a move in the Jingtai court, and after the coup, Zhu Qizhen made a big change in the court, resulting in the use of all those chess pieces?
Probably.
Zhu Jianji wasn't worried at all. In the worst case, there would be a big change in the court.
When the discussion gradually died down, Zhu Jianji continued: "Xu Bin and others have all been taken to the imperial prison. We will gather all the ministers and workers in front of the Ancestral Temple tonight. We have other important matters."
Turn around and look towards Baozong.
But he said to the ministers: "Dear ministers, is there anyone who has experienced the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty in the 14th year of Zhengtong?"
No one said anything.
There are many people who have experienced the Tumubao Incident.
But silly.
Can't you see that His Highness is paving the way to kill the Emperor? If you come out and say you have experienced it, then you are showing that you are on the side of the Crown Prince. This is not what a qualified official would do.
Just watch the excitement.
When he heard the prince talking about the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen's face turned pale, and the hand held by Queen Qian was like sieving chaff.
My heart keeps sinking... sinking.
Zhu Jianji turned his head and glanced at the ministers, "In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty mobilized all five military camps in the capital, three thousand battalions, and the Shenji Battalion to accompany the emperor in the northern expedition to Oara."
He withdrew his gaze and stared at Baozong, "Your Majesty Baozong, how many troops are there?"
He called Baozong in front of the ministers without concealing his sarcasm.
Zhu Qizhen mumbled and trembled, "Five...five hundred thousand?"
Zhu Jianji shook his head with pity in his eyes and said: "Look, this is the emperor who once led a personal expedition. He doesn't even know the exact number of troops under his command. Five hundred thousand? Did Wang Zhen tell you?"
Half a million with a hammer.
Around two hundred thousand.
Zhu Qizhen was speechless and unable to argue. The five hundred thousand was indeed what Wang Zhen told him.
Zhu Jianji sighed: "Yes, the elite of our three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty, more than 500,000 people, are the wealth accumulated in the past hundred years from the founding of the country by Taizu to the period of His Majesty Xuanzong. They are the guarantee of the country's stability. We can conquer the north and guard the border."
It is their duty, and there is nothing wrong with the Northern Expedition to Wala."
Even though Zhu Jianji didn't have 500,000 yuan, he still admitted Zhu Qizhen's statement.
Because the larger the number, the more serious the consequences of the Tumubao Incident.
It brings out Zhu Qizhen's incompetence.
Zhu Qiyu had been silently watching his son scold Fang Qiu. At this moment, he glanced at the ministers and was slightly relieved. When hearing this history, many people still showed angry expressions.
Zhu Qiyu silently wrote it down.
These people should be reusable.
Zhu Jianji changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty Baozong, you are Taizong, you are Xuanzong, do you think you have the ability to conquer Mobei? No, you are not, you don't understand anything, you only know what Wang Zhen said
That’s right, you think you can defeat Wala with three battalions and become a civil and military emperor like Taizong and Xuanzong. You are so ambitious that you don’t know what to fear. That’s you!”
Take a deep breath and calm down your emotions.
A bit over the top.
Watching the history of the Ming Dynasty when it comes to the Tumubao Incident will give you a myocardial infarction!
He took two steps forward, approached the Baozong, and said angrily: "Leading an army to go on an expedition, you don't know how to march and form, and you don't know about the logistics of food and grass. That's all. British Duke Zhang Fu and his like have military power in their hands and can control the overall situation. You actually claim to be extraordinary."
, I want to intervene in the military, okay, just continue. Anyway, the situation at that time is my advantage. You are qualified to waste, but you should not. You should never listen to Wang Zhen and retreat the army as soon as the battle ahead is tense. Is it wrong for the army to retreat?
It’s a matter of just one sentence. Do you think the retreat of hundreds of thousands of people is like drinking water?”
When Zhu Jianji said this, he almost wanted to draw his sword.
I kept warning myself in my mind.
Hold it back...
Hold on, his sins haven't been finished yet.
He glanced sideways at the ministers and asked: "Generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Regiment Camp, and the 26th Guards of the Pro-Army, I want to ask you, can you withdraw at a moment's notice with an army of 500,000?
"
Without exception.
All the generals were shaking their heads.
There were 500,000 people, and the military camps stretched far and wide. It took time to transmit military orders, and it also required a lot of preparations. It was impossible to withdraw at just a word. If we retreat without complete preparations, it will inevitably lead to chaos.
This is a taboo for military strategists.
But when it came to this, some of the officials, especially the generals, looked at Zhu Qizhen in a different way and became cruel.
The changes in the emperor's civil fortress made people grit their teeth.
Zhu Jianji turned back and stared at the Baozong, "It's better for you. The retreat caused the army to lose its position. Although the whole army will not be wiped out, at that time, you can laugh and say that the advantage is mine."
"In fact, you were able to lead your army back to the capital at that time. However, your favorite eunuch Wang Zhen insisted on returning home in glory and changed the withdrawal route to pass by his hometown. What is unimaginable is that you actually agreed to this move?!"
"Halfway through the army, Wang Zhen was worried that it would trample on his hometown's manor and fields, so he changed its route again."
"Then we arrived at Tumubao."
"It's really ironic. If you don't enter the city, you have to stay in the earthen fort all night. Do you really think that the world is invincible? Do you really think that the prairie cavalry can only eat grass?!"
"The results of it?"
Zhu Jianji almost roared and shouted: "As a result, the elite of our three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed! Hundreds of thousands of men were slaughtered! More than a hundred civil and military officials died for the country! The national strength of the Ming Dynasty was cut in half!"
"Those are the hundreds of thousands of elites and pillars of the country that His Majesty Xuanzong left for you!"
"It's just gone!"
"Not only that, the Wala army broke through the defenses and approached the city of Beijing. If Yu Shaobao and His Majesty hadn't turned the tide and the building was about to collapse, our Ming Dynasty would have suffered the same humiliation as the Song Dynasty!"
"Even worse, it is possible that not even half of the country can be saved!"
Zhu Qizhen slumped on the ground helplessly.
Tears streaming down my face.
He now knows that he did something wrong in the first place, but there is no use in regretting it.
Changed established facts.
Zhu Jianji's passionate speech aroused the emotions of many ministers. Some people knelt down and cried, and some stared at the Baozong with red eyes. Especially those ministers who lost their fathers and brothers in the Tumubao Incident, their expressions became even more ferocious.
.
Zhu Jianji took a deep breath and said angrily: "The king who subjugates his country is nothing more than this!"
