After finding out that Du Yu had sent Lin Yang away.
Only Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding were left in the study.
Xiao Ding looked at Zhu Yunhao and asked doubtfully,"
"Your Highness, are you really going to let Lin Yang go just like that? After all, you only made a verbal agreement with him. If he goes back on his word, it will affect Your Highness's plan.”
Zhu Yunhao smiled faintly."
"I can't. Lin Yang is a smart person and will know what to do. Besides, I'm not afraid that he will go back on his word. It's a fact that Lin Yang secretly recruited troops.”
"Do you really think that what I said to Lin Yang just now was just a joke? If he dares to go back on his word, I will really use all the troops in Qiongzhou to take down Leizhou!”
"I've already thought of my words. Leizhou Guard Governor Lin Yang is rebelling, and I'm only sending troops to quell the rebellion. It's just that doing so will expose us prematurely.”
" However, in order not to hinder our development, it's fine if we're exposed. Anyway, before the matter with the King of Yan in the north is resolved, the imperial court has no time to care about us. In their eyes, Qiongzhou is just a tiny place. No matter how much trouble I cause, I won't be able to cause much trouble.”
Xiao Ding came to a sudden understanding. He immediately said with some hesitation,
"If this Lin Yang really chooses to cooperate, Your Highness, are we really going to abandon his troops? No matter what, he had the intention to rebel!”
Zhu Yunhao smiled and said,
"What's the use of his soldiers? He, Lin Yang, has been managing the Leizhou Guard for nearly ten years. Do you think we can use his troops even if he hands them over to us?”
"How many of the Leizhou Guards are Lin Yang's trusted aides? We still have to investigate bit by bit. It's tiring but not rewarding. At the same time, we have to pay and provide food to support such a group of troops that can go wrong at any time.”
"With this money, I might as well train a group of new recruits. The Leizhou Guards look like a piece of fat meat, but they're actually chicken ribs. It's a pity to throw them away. It's better to let Lin Yang continue to train them.”
"As for Lin Yang, hehe, from the moment he chose to cooperate with us, he was already on my chariot. Even if he still had some thoughts, as time goes by, he will realize that his thoughts are not worth mentioning in front of the big picture.”
"Alright, since Lin Yang has agreed to cooperate, you have to prepare the personnel on your side.”
"Once Lin Yang sends his family to Jingzhou, the reserve officials of Jingzhou will immediately enter Leizhou to start work. At the same time, tell the craftsmen of Jingzhou to get ready. Once they enter Leizhou, they will be busy.”
Xiao Ding nodded respectfully and said,
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
……
Just as Zhu Yunhao and Lin Yang reached an initial agreement on cooperation.
In the north, Zhu Di was unstoppable.
Before this, Wang Yuan of Kaiping City led his troops to surrender.
Soon after, Yongping Prefecture surrendered.
Later, in order to prevent the Daning army from attacking Peiping from Songting Pass, Zhu Di used counter-spies to cause internal strife in Songting Pass, and Bu Wan was imprisoned.
This would temporarily relieve Beiping of any worries.
At this point, all the forces around Beiping were cleared by Zhu Di.
The number of Yan troops increased to tens of thousands.
Instantly, the entire world was shaken and the court was in an uproar!
After Zhu Di conquered Huailai, the Valley Lord Zhu Xi's territory was too close to Zhu Di's sphere of influence, so he fled the Xuan Manor and headed straight for Jinling.
Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing City, in the Imperial Palace.
"Traitor! They are all rebels! With the salary of the Imperial Court and the position of an official of the Imperial Court, they had actually chosen to surrender without even fighting a single battle! This is an official of my Great Ming?"
In the main hall, Zhu Yunwen was furious!
His Highness and all the officials were as frightened as cicadas in winter and did not dare to speak.
At this moment, Minister of War Qi Tai stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. Now that Beiping Prefecture has fallen and the King of Yan has become powerful, if the Imperial Court does not send troops to attack now, once the King of Yan regroups his existing troops, the Imperial Court will be in a passive position.”
"In my opinion, the emperor must send a general to attack Zhu Di now. Before he becomes powerful again, he must destroy him in Beiping Prefecture.”
"Not only that, in order to prevent the Liao and Ning princes near Beiping from helping the Yan prince, I think the emperor will immediately recall the Liao and Ning princes back to the capital as a precaution.”
Qi Tai's words made Zhu Yunwen calm down quickly.
He looked at Qi Tai and asked,"
"Who do you think can take on the heavy responsibility of attacking the King of Yan?”
Qi Tai was stunned.
Speaking of which, it was actually very awkward.
At the end of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to pave the way for his grandson, wantonly killed meritorious generals. As a result, all the generals in the court who had some meritorious deeds and were good at fighting were basically killed.
As a result, the new generals in the imperial court were either not prestigious enough to suppress the King of Yan, or they did not have any military achievements and only knew how to talk on paper.
The huge imperial court had reached an awkward situation where there was no one to use.
As for the King of Yan, Zhu Di, he was famous for his ability to fight.
Sending these people to deal with the King of Yan, wasn't that sending them to their deaths?
Seeing that Qi Tai was silent, Zhu Yunwen looked at the civil and military officials and asked,
"Are any of you willing to volunteer to lead the army and quell the rebellion for the Imperial Court?”
All the officials fell silent.
Zhu Yunwen's face turned ugly when she saw the silent officials.
"Is there no one in this huge Imperial Court who can share my worries?”
It was just the King of Yan, yet they were all so frightened.
Zhu Yunwen cursed in her heart,
Grandpa, grandpa, you're really enjoying killing people. Why can't you think of leaving a few useful people for your grandson!
However, if Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Zhu Yunwen was thinking at this time, he would probably climb out of his coffin and curse,
I didn't expect your good-for-nothing grandson to cut off his vassal!
Just when Zhu Yunwen's face was ugly.
Qi Tai looked up at Zhu Yunwen and hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Emperor, it's not that there are no people in the army who have prestige, but this person is really a bit old. I don't know if the emperor would dare to use him.”
Zhu Yunwen was speechless. At this time, there was no question of whether he dared to use it. As long as he dared to go, there was nothing he couldn't use.
"Who are you talking about?"
Qi Tai cupped his hands and said,"
"Chang Xing Marquis Geng Bingwen, Old Marquis Geng.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded.
" What?!"
