Under Zhu Jianji's signal, the army on the western front moved very slowly.
Yu Qian's army on the eastern front had already set up a formation on the Zhejiang border, and the western front had just entered the Jiangxi border, leaving all the civil and military officials accompanying the army baffled and convinced that His Highness the Crown Prince was here for gold plating.
Walking so slowly, don't you just want His Highness to pick up fallen peaches after being humble?
Understand understand.
And this is the best, as the next earthen fort will not appear.
But Zhu Jianji didn't think so.
He is waiting.
Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei is based in Nanchang, Jiangxi, which is very close to Fujian. With the strength of Ning Wang, he must have sent people to Fujian to have a look around. Zhu Dianpei should know that the Baozong is real.
The remnants of Jianwen plus the Fujian Dusi and local officials in Fujian, plus the remnants of Jianwen, should not be underestimated. If Zhu Dianpei is ambitious, he will raise his troops at this time and first capture the forces of the Jiangxi Dusi, and then join Fujian to fight guerrillas.
If the local area surrounds the city, there is actually a lot to be done.
So Zhu Jianji has been waiting.
Wait for King Ning to rebel.
If he rebels now, he can still defeat him, but if Prince Ning rebels again after entering Fujian, he will face a situation where he will be attacked from both sides, and the instability will increase sharply.
However……
A bit disappointed.
Until the army entered Jiangxi and headed straight for Nanchang, there was no movement on the Jiangxi side.
Is Zhu Mianpei really honest?
Zhu Jianji didn't believe it.
Prince Ning’s lineage has never been honest!
…
…
Nanchang, Prince Ning's Mansion.
Zhu Mianpei walked among the pavilions and waterside pavilions of the palace.
He has just passed his forties. He is tall and thin, with a white, beardless face and sinister eyes. He is naturally aloof and arrogant. He is usually taciturn and not good at socializing. He is suspicious by nature and likes to be alone.
He likes poems and poems, is good at calligraphy and painting, and has the reputation of iron hook and silver painting.
He waved his hand and signaled the servants who were accompanying him to go down, walked into the lotus pavilion, lifted up his robe and lay down in the chair, looked at the lotus pond in front of him, and thought of a sentence.
"Tian Jing Sha·Autumn" by Zhu Tingyu of the previous dynasty:
In front of the courtyard, all the sycamores have fallen, and by the waterside, hibiscus bloom.
The interpretation is the same as that of the poet.
Saying goodbye to Ke Shuangye, I will inscribe it red when he comes.
Zhu Mianpei sighed, so tired.
Although his grandfather Zhu Quan was respectful to the court since he became a vassal in Nanchang, only his father Zhu Panshixuan, who was the crown prince, knew about his grandfather's melancholy feelings. As a grandson, Zhu Mianpei had been exposed to it since he was a child.
Half of this world should belong to our family!
It was Zhu Di who was shameless.
If he had not abducted Duoyan Sanwei and Daning's army and horses during the Jingnan, would he have succeeded in the Jingnan? At the critical moment, his grandfather rose up and walked into the Yingtian Fengtian Hall while the imperial army and Zhu Di were fighting fiercely.
It should be grandpa!
At least that's what Zhu Mianpei thinks.
During the Jingnan period, Zhu Di's military strength was far inferior to that of Daning, but he still succeeded.
With his grandfather oriole behind him, there was no reason to fail. Everyone said that Zhu Di was invincible on the battlefield, but they didn't know that the real invincible on the battlefield was not King Zhu Di of Yan, but King Ning Zhu Quan.
It's just that the winner is the king and the loser is the loser.
It is difficult for Zhu Di to succeed in peace. There are many people who praise his virtues, and the world can only see Zhu Di's glory.
Zhu Quan was hidden behind his back.
Things are changing.
Zhu Di probably never expected that one of his great-grandsons would be Zhu Qizhen.
Temple name Baozong?
Very appropriate.
Posthumous name Wu?
Very satisfying.
Outside the water pavilion, Shi Wen Yishan, the royal palace chief, dressed in rich clothes, came slowly. After saluting, Wen Yishan walked into the water pavilion and stood beside Zhu Dianpei, "Your Highness, if you don't take action, you will have no chance."
Zhu Mianpei glanced sideways at the Palace Chief, with a dull expression, "What are you doing?"
Wen Yishan said: "We have been preparing for many years. Now there are remnants of Jianwen in Fujian who are revolting, and we have also found out that the Baozong is real and is legitimately working to conspire with the overall situation. When His Highness the Crown Prince leads the army into Jiangxi, we will inevitably
The Jiangxi Dusi is transferred to the front line and takes control of the palace, so we can only be at the mercy of others."
Zhu Mianpei snorted and sneered, "Let others slaughter you? Your Highness the Crown Prince has evidence? But if we do it, we will really die. Wen Yishan, don't you see that this is His Majesty's trap!"
Wen Yishan was puzzled, "How can you see it?"
Zhu Dianpei didn't talk much on weekdays, but Wen Yishan, his most loyal palace official and a friend who grew up together, was willing to say a few more words, saying: "On that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the Ancestral Temple, killing the Baozong, and hundreds of civil and military officials in Gyeonggi witnessed it.
From what we can see, the Baozong is legally dead. As for the events that day, Jianwen's remnant's plan was indeed perfect, but there was a fatal flaw that they did not consider: even if His Majesty discovered the truth a night late, he could still let Jin Yiwei and the governors from all over the place.
With the blockade, it is absolutely impossible for the remnants of Jianwen to bring Baozong back to Fujian."
After a pause, he said decisively, "Absolutely impossible!"
Wen Yishan suddenly understood, "So, His Majesty deliberately let Zhu Qizhen go south to Fujian?"
Zhu Mianpei nodded.
The reason for this is to let Zhu Qizhen win over the remnants of Jianwen and catch them all in one fell swoop. For this goal, Yu Qian even made a trip to Fujian to use the maritime smuggling incident to completely disrupt the officialdom of Fujian.
Wen Yishan was still a little confused, "But for this plan, to go to war in such a big way, to raise troops, to kill countless people, to spend countless money and food, is it worth it?"
Zhu Mianpei gave a rare smile, "Spend money? Soldiers die in battle? No problem!"
Zhu Mianpei didn't want to talk anymore.
Zhu Qiyu kills two birds with one stone. How can he spend money? Not only will he not spend money, he will also make a fortune. This time, the money he spends is just a drop of money.
As for the conquest of the remnants of Jianwen, will soldiers die in battle?
Not even!
Therefore, this whole incident is a big trap. It would be foolish for me to raise troops at this time. Believe it or not, the 50,000 troops declared by Prince Zhu Jianji may be 100,000, and reinforcements can be gathered at any time.
There are tens of thousands of people in the capital of Henan. Once he rebels, hundreds of thousands of troops from others will pour into Jiangxi in minutes.
There is nowhere to run.
If this were not the case, would His Majesty be so relieved to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conduct the expedition in person?
He was only ten years old and an only son. He was not absolutely sure. How could he be allowed to conquer the country himself? No matter how stupid Zhu Qiyu was, he would not risk the power of his family.
So you have to admit that nine years after His Majesty ascended the throne, he has experienced two turmoils. He is no longer the benevolent King Tao back then, but the Nine-Five Supreme Being in charge of the court.
Still rebelling?
Do you really think I am stupid?
Thinking of this, Zhu Dianpei said to Wen Yishan: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to Jiangxi soon. Tell our people to do everything possible to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince's army. In addition, make preparations and order some guards. I will go to Jianchang to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"
He traveled hundreds of miles out of the city to greet him, expressing his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Wen Yishan immediately saluted, "Yes."
Zhu Mianpei suddenly called out to Wen Yishan who was walking out of the waterside pavilion, "The Baozong is real. I estimate that His Majesty will let him go, and he will definitely go to Jiaozhi to chase him. People will rush to Jiaozhi in advance to make arrangements. If a Baozong is alive, if anything happens
It will come in handy in the future."
This king will not fall for the deception that Jianwen’s remnants did.
But it is indeed possible that the living Zhu Qizhen will play a role at the right time.
