Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 230

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the former Yuan Liang King of Yunnan." Mao Xiang replied. "The letter of acceptance sent by us is still discarded as before. And secretly sent people to the north, wanting to celebrate the new year with the Lord Yuan."

"The envoy has been intercepted by our Daming, and will be escorted to Beijing soon."

"That's good." Old Zhu's expression eased. "The King of Liang, although he is a loyal and tough guy, is nothing but an idiot in a high position."

"It seems that Deng Yu and Mu Ying's formation and training of soldiers did not arouse the vigilance of the Yunnan side."

"Even if I found out, I thought that our Daming reorganized the army and wanted to conquer Xifan in the spring of the next year..."

"Mao Xiang, Jin Yiwei needs to step up the investigation in Yunnan. If the king of Liang wakes up, don't report to Deng Yu and Mu Ying immediately!"

"This is a major matter for the military and the country. If you make a mistake because of the unknown report from Jin Yiwei, we have no choice but to chop your head off!"

"Yes!" Mao Xiang responded awe-inspiringly.

"Where is Naha?"

"Although there are signs in Liaodong, there is no sign of a large number of troops gathering." Mao Xiang continued. "My agents in Jinyi found out that most of the troops preparing for war are small groups. Presumably, it's just as usual, I want to take advantage of my Central Plains New Year's Eve to fight some grass."

"Don't be careless." Old Zhu Surong said. "Nanaha went out to take advantage of our northern expedition first, and absorbed a lot of remnants and defeated generals who were scattered by our Ming Dynasty."

"It also occupies several counties in Liaodong, and ruled the roost separately. Not to mention the Mongols under his command, there are hundreds of thousands of Han children in the north alone."

"Hey, it's really pathetic that we Han people have become the emperor, and those Han sons from the north are still attached to Naha and become a Mongolian!" Old Zhu patted the case.

"...Father, don't worry." Mao Xiang bowed his head and did not dare to say more. Beside Old Zhu, the prince Zhu Biao who had been silent all the time persuaded him: "The land of Liaodong has been for Yanyun since Shi Jingtan ceded it in the Five Dynasties. Alien rule lasted for hundreds of years."

"Even in the Song Dynasty, they never occupied the land of Liaodong. It is not uncommon for Han children in Liaodi to lose their education and be deceived by Meng Yuan..."

"Hundreds of years..." Lao Zhu muttered. "Weak Song is just lingering, and I, Da Ming, will shine forever. How can Weak Song compare?"

"Let Naha go crazy first. In the future, we will recover all of Liaodong and make Jin Ou intact. Let Liaodong Haner restore my Huaxia education."

"Your Majesty (father) is holy." Mao Xiang and Zhu Biaogong said.

After the questioning, Lao Zhu waved Mao Xiang to go down. People in the court are panicking because of the purge of Hu Weiyong's remnant party. The six ministers, ministers and other high-ranking officials are all paralyzed. In the six departments, there are only a group of middle and low-level people who can't reach the peak of power. officers.

Fortunately, the cabinet in charge of Prince Zhu Biao protected these young cabinet officials like a shelter in a storm.Outside the imperial court, there was a turmoil, but in the cabinet, it remained the same. The cabinet ministers did what they should do, and continued to maintain the imperial court's decree.

Old Zhu turned around, greeted Prince Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, come here and help us draw up the will of Taoism."

"Wei Guogong Xu Da will lead the army to store up in Beiping Mansion from now on. Be prepared for Naha to lead troops south."

"The Chinese side in Beiping City captured Zhu Liangzu, and only Fu Youde was alone. We are afraid that he will be alone."

"If Naha breaks the pieces into wholes and wants to keep things secret like we do, then it will be difficult."

"It's safe to let your Uncle Xu go and take care of him."

"Father, do you want Uncle Xu to leave town in Beiping?" Zhu Biao was startled.

"But now in Beijing, except for the army led by the pro-army Duwei's Mansion and Yiluan Division, the rest of the generals are all the remnants of the Northern Expedition who just returned to the north."

"It's only a few months before the end of the Northern Expedition, and the army is still under preparation. Let such a remnant army go to Beiping, I'm afraid something will happen out of thin air!"

"Hmm..." Lao Zhu stroked his chin.I have to say that what the eldest son said makes sense.

The pro-army Duwei's Mansion is the forbidden army defending the capital, and it must not be moved rashly.

However, although Beizheng's army was barely equal to Beiyuan, it was completely defeated at the strategic level, and its losses were extremely heavy. It would not be possible to recover directly in just a few months.

It is indeed easy for such an army to go north.On this point, Biao'er considered it more carefully.

"Then what should we do? Naha has a total of 20 people under his command, so we have to guard against..."

"Oh, as long as you keep this beast in check..." Lao Zhu turned his head and looked at the map of the surrounding areas of Ming Dynasty that was cut from Zhu Su's "Kun Yu Wan Guo Tu" that was selected on the screen.On the map, the red color represented by Liaodong Naha Station is particularly annoying.

"It would be great if Gao Li could listen to my command, Da Ming," Lao Zhu's eyes turned to Gao Li on the other side.If Goryeo can send out a partial division to pin down Naha, then Daming can calmly recover Xifan and Yunnan, and then find an opportunity to fight Naha to the death, completely recovering the land of Liaodong.

It's a pity that the two ends of Goryeo's first mouse, although they surrender on the surface, if he is asked to send troops, he will definitely talk about him...

At first, he even tried to steal the prescription from the fifth child.The lack of integrity and shame in this country can be seen.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but began to miss Zhu Su's "Three Kingdoms Policy of Peaceful Japan, Korea, and Vietnam".

"That's all. For the current plan, we have to let Tiande speed up the reorganization of the army."

"Hurry up and go to Peiping to garrison."

"Even if Nanaha is going to go out and try his best to invade the invaders, with Fu Youde and the garrison of Beiping Mansion, they can stay here for a while."

"As long as Tiande can go to Peiping within a few months, Beiping will be safe."

Lao Zhu looked at the map and muttered.Lao Wu also said that there will be no major wars in northern Xinjiang this year.Although it is necessary to prevent Nanaha from doing one or two things, but thinking about it, nothing major will happen.

"To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down. The only thing we need now is to take back the land of Yunnan!" His eyes turned to Yunnan, which is located in the south of the map.

"father……"

"Now that the court is in turmoil, it is too hasty to take over Yunnan?" Zhu Biao asked worriedly.

"If you are not careful, the war will be protracted, and people in the court will be panicked because of Hu Weiyong's case."

"I'm afraid...it will cause a catastrophe!"

"It's better to go step by step, step by step..."

"Your words are the words of a mature and prudent person, and we in history have followed every step of the way." Old Zhu sighed.

"But... time waits for no one... If we continue to act like the history that Lao Wu said, it will be safe. But this Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the fate of being ruled by a foreign race again after hundreds of years."

"We like peace and stability the most in our lives... But now, we have to gamble. We just want to take advantage of the bloodiness of the army... to lay down a big territory in advance!"

"Besides, since you all think that the turmoil in the court should not be used by troops...doesn't the king of Liang in the north also think so?"

"...Father Shengming." Zhu Biao was persuaded.

"You will maintain the cabinet for us. As long as the cabinet does not fall, the court will not be in chaos!" Old Zhu was full of ambition. "The old five's cabinet strategy is really a good way to live forever."

"With this cabinet, we can let go of our hands and feet, and thoroughly clean up the Great Ming Dynasty Hall."

"Unfortunately, at the end of this year, the fifth child will not be able to return to Beijing for a reunion temporarily. We still have to use the case of Hu Weiyong to purge the court. If he returns to Beijing, he will be caught in a storm."

"This year, he might spend his time in Suzhou City."

"Xiao Wu is filial and sensible, so I won't blame you for being old." Zhu Biao comforted.

"At the end of this year, let your son and the second, third, and fourth children stay with you and mother well."

"Okay, okay." Old Zhu laughed.Since he learned about the later life, whenever he dreamed back at midnight, he could always dream of the tragic days that the fifth child said, his wife died of illness, his youngest grandson died, and his eldest son died.

In my heart, I cherish the family affection I have now even more.

Hearing the filial piety in Zhu Biao's words, and thinking that his children are healthy and his first wife is still there, he is naturally happy.

Suddenly remembered something, and said, "That's right."

"Since the fifth child left, what are the second child, the third child, the fourth child, and the others doing in the palace?"

"Nothing happened, did it?"

"Oh, the younger brothers are very honest. They only study books in the palace every day."

"Nothing happened."

Zhu Biao said.In fact, he was a little guilty when he said this.Ever since Xiaowu Zhu Su left, his father was worried that the turmoil in the court would affect the few princes who were away, so he brought them back to the palace.

This killed the three younger brothers.They are already living wild outside the palace, how can they still endure the hard life in the palace?

He begged his big brother every day to let them out of the palace in front of his father.

But Zhu Biao, as the prince, naturally knew that the current turmoil in the court was not the time to let his younger brothers be free.You know, many courtiers who have ghosts in their hearts nowadays are thinking of finding a big tree to shelter them from the wind and rain, so as to avoid this difficulty.

If they were released from the palace, a traitor would find these three younger brothers just like Hu Weiyong found Xiao Wu in the old days. If these three younger brothers were inadvertently deceived and provoked by them, wouldn't they just cause trouble for nothing?

After talking about it several times, except for Zhu Bian, who is quite reasonable, the other two couldn't hear him, and they just looked for his eldest brother every day to make a fuss.Zhu Biao is very annoying, but who makes himself the big brother?He can only help the two younger brothers and cover up one or two things in front of his father.

"Well. Those bastards still know the seriousness." Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction, and he had no doubts about Zhu Biao's words. "When the fifth child comes back this time, they will be satisfied. Let them open the house together."

"After all, as I get older, I know the ways of the world..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a sweaty waiter outside, with his hat crooked and his clothes tilted, and he lost one of his shoes, and ran out of the hall in a hurry.

"Who! Don't be rude!" Outside the hall, the two guards scolded.

"It's the servant next to my mother. Could it be that something happened to my mother?" Zhu Biao was young, with good eyesight, and he could tell the identity of the servant at a glance.Lao Zhu was shocked when he heard that, he hurriedly asked Erhu to let the servant in, and immediately asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Where's the girl? Is our girl okay?"

"Report...your majesty, the emperor...the empress is fine..." the servant replied intermittently while panting.Lao Zhu and Zhu Biaofang breathed a sigh of relief, but they were so startled that they almost choked on the servant's next words.

"It's just His Royal Highness King Qin... and His Highness King Yan..."

"But I left a letter, I don't know when it sneaked out of the palace!"
