After Zhu Xianfeng finished patrolling the camp outside the city, he had just stepped into King Qi's mansion when he heard the system's long-awaited notification.
"Ding-dong. Detected that the situation in the Ming Dynasty will change drastically. The system will issue a second mission!”
"Host, please lead the army to attack the Ji 'nan Prefecture within a month.”
"Reward: 50,000 soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Camp, 2 top-grade strategists, 200,000 stones of rations!”
Zhu Xianfeng was dumbfounded when he heard the sudden system mission.
What the hell was with the sudden change in the situation in the Ming Dynasty?
He hadn't even raised the banner of rebellion.
Could it be that the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was going to make a move in advance?
However, the system's mission reward was very generous!
Just as he was thinking.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a fast horse galloped over from the street in front of him and arrived in front of Zhu Xianfeng in an instant.
A messenger dismounted and bowed.""Your Highness, secret agents from Ying Tian have reported that after the imperial court forced the Xiang Prince to death, Jianwen sent another team of Jinyiwei to supervise the Qing Province to cut off the vassals.”
"En, this king understands. After you return to the military camp, tell the generals to prepare. This king has an important announcement to make tomorrow.”
"Yes, sir!"
The messenger cupped his hands and bowed, then mounted his horse and galloped away.
Zhu Xianfeng finally understood why the system suddenly issued this mission.
This was an early warning!
Fortunately, he was prepared.
In the past few months, the weapons, rations, horses, and newly recruited soldiers had all been prepared.
As long as he gave the order, the Qingzhou army could go south to Yingtian.
Zhu Xianfeng didn't hesitate and immediately entered King Qi's mansion, walking towards Zhu Xi's study.
At this moment, Zhu Rong was practicing calligraphy in the study to cultivate his character.
"Father, the Xiang King has set himself on fire."
Zhu Xianfeng said as he walked into the study.
"What is it? Twelfth Brother…burnt himself to death?"
Zhu Rong's heart trembled, and the brush in his hand fell onto the Xuan paper.
"Jianwen cut down four vassals in a row, incurring the wrath of the heavens and the people. He then set his sights on our King Qi's Mansion and the King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, and sent two teams of Embroidered Uniform Guards to supervise the cutting of vassals.”
"What the hell is Jianwen trying to do?" Zhu Rong was furious. Must he force the vassal kings of the world to rebel before he was satisfied?”
"Father, the Ming Dynasty is about to be in chaos. I want to start a war in Jingnan tomorrow!”
"Feng 'er, once Jingnan starts, there's no turning back.”
"Right now, the Qi King's Mansion has become an arrow on the bowstring and has no choice but to release it. Father, there is no turning back for King Qi's mansion. We can only chase Jianwen down from the throne and create a new dynasty.”
"I once said that I will leave the Jingnan matter to you. No matter what happens, I will take care of it.”
"Thank you, Father."
"After the oath tomorrow, where do you plan to attack first?”
"Jinan!"
"Hmm, the strategy is not bad. If we take down the Jinan Prefecture, we can join forces with the Qingzhou Prefecture. Are the provisions and armaments ready?"
"Don't worry, Father. Everything is ready.”
"Since that's the case, then Feng 'er can go all out!”
"Your son will take his leave!"
Zhu Xianfeng cupped his hands and bowed before striding out of the study.
"Feng 'er, Feng' er, if you fail, I will arrange a ship and our family will flee overseas. If you are lucky enough to succeed and obtain the throne of the Great Ming Emperor, your father will never touch it!”
Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Xianfeng's back with affection and muttered to himself.
……
The next day.
The imposing 80,000 strong army was lined up outside Yidu City, stretching for at least ten miles.
Zhu Xianfeng, who was wearing armor, rode a tall horse and patrolled the area.
Then, he walked up to the temporary high platform.
The generals who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly bowed."Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Generals, please rise!"
Then, Zhu Xianfeng said,""The Imperial Court is tyrannical, the new Emperor is muddle-headed, Jianwen hasn't shown any mercy to the world since he ascended the throne, but he changed the Great Ancestor's national policy and exploited his fellow vassals!”
"The vassal kings were not convicted. In just a few months, four vassal kings were deprived of their vassal lands. After these vassal kings were escorted to Yingtian, they were imprisoned in the Zijin Villa like pigs and dogs, never to leave.”
"And the one who made people cry the most was the King of Xiang. He was originally a benevolent king and had an excellent reputation in Jingzhou, but he did not expect that a month ago, he was forced to self-immolate by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"The Imperial Court's actions are infuriating, and the fatuous ruler's actions are shameless!”
"Soldiers, do you think that such a court and such a fatuous ruler are still worthy of our loyalty?”
Zhu Xianfeng's words instantly ignited the indignation of the soldiers.
"Not worth it!"
"Not worth it!"
"Not worth it!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Its momentum resounded through the nine heavens and lasted for a long time.
Zhu Xianfeng pressed his hands together and continued,""The Great Ancestor left behind a decree that if there were any officials in the imperial court who were in chaos, any Zhu vassal king could follow the decree to quell the disaster, kill the rebellious officials, and purge the side of the emperor!”
"Now, the fatuous ruler has been bewitched by Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng. This king wishes to follow the will of the founding ancestor. All the soldiers are willing to follow this king to attack the rebels and clear the side of the ruler.”
"Your Highness is mighty. We are willing to follow Your Highness to kill the rebels and purge the emperor!”
"Your Highness is mighty. We are willing to follow Your Highness to kill the rebels and purge the emperor!”
"Your Highness is mighty. We are willing to follow Your Highness to kill the rebels and purge the emperor!”
The morale of the soldiers was ignited once again, and each of them revealed an impassioned expression.
"Good!"
Zhu Xianfeng smiled.
Then, he let a Confucian scholar walk up to the platform and read out Jingnan's denunciation.
After the announcement.
Zhu Xianfeng immediately began to mobilize his troops.
He divided the 80,000-strong army into three groups:
With 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers as the vanguard, they took the lead and headed straight for Jinan Prefecture.
Along the way, he recruited 10,000 new soldiers to cut off all the official roads in Jinan Prefecture to prevent other prefectures from coming to help.
The last route.
He would lead 20,000 Guanning Cavalry and 30,000 Qingzhou forces to Jinan!
As the first two armies set off.
Under Zhu Xianfeng's command, the 50,000-strong main force marched towards Jinan.
Yellow dust rolled and sand flew all over the sky!
The endless army rushed forward, causing the towns along the way to be in a state of panic.
