Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Seeing the smile on Zhu Gang's face, Yang Taining, the deputy governor of Shanxi standing next to him, looked stern. He clasped his fists towards Zhu Gang and said in a resounding voice, "From now on, I will obey your orders, Your Highness!"

What he meant was the entrustment of military forces and also a respect for Zhu Gang - things had come to this point, and he had already gone all in, so naturally he had to show his loyalty.

Zhu Gang nodded with satisfaction.

Patting Yang Taining on the shoulder, he said, "Since you are so willing, I will not treat you unfairly. With the troops I have, plus the troops you have mobilized, and those in my second brother's hands, we can launch a surprise attack on Yingtian Prefecture when it is caught off guard."

"As long as we operate properly, what does it matter to the Huaixi nobles? They've fought on the battlefield for years, and so have you and I. Don't you think we've had enough Yuan bandit heads? Besides, the people outside are all grateful for the favor that young boy did, while the people of Yingtian Prefecture are full of complaints."

"As long as we can seize this opportunity and incite the people of Yingtian Prefecture, they might even be willing to join us! Even if the imperial court has the ability to mobilize millions of troops, as long as we can quickly control Yingtian Prefecture, the Forbidden City, and..."

Speaking of it.

Zhu Gang paused, a ruthless murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "And... after killing Zhu Yunhuan and my good second brother, who will be recognized by Yingtian Prefecture in the future will be determined by the Imperial Ming Dynasty's Ancestor's Instructions!"

"Old Yang, you should be my first meritorious minister!"

Zhu Gang and Yang Taining stood on a high place, their eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from in the distance, waiting for the troops in front to come and join forces.

As he spoke, the vibration under his feet became more and more obvious.

As the dense sound of horse hooves gradually became louder, and even the cold wind blowing from that direction brought the faint sound of fluttering white flags, a black mass of people and horses appeared in their sight from afar.

The black banner with the word "Shanxi" written on it fluttered in the cold wind, and the soldiers and horses galloped forward in a solemn and orderly manner.

It was as if his victory flag was waving.

While waiting, Yang Taining listened to Zhu Gang's words.

One's heart beats faster and faster - to be a successful follower of the emperor, to rise to prominence, to have far greater power and prestige than one has now - few people can refuse.

He is a battle-hardened warrior.

Understand the feasibility of what Zhu Gang said.

Even though there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the capital, under the "military farming" system established by the late emperor, it takes time to assemble and organize those soldiers and horses. As the late emperor once said: My capital has a million soldiers, and I must not waste a single grain of rice for the people.

It is precisely relying on this military system.

With tens of thousands of troops in front of us, tens of thousands of troops that we have transferred... and the King of Qin advancing together, our chances are great!

He glanced at the white banner fluttering in front of him.

He turned around, looked at Zhu Gang beside him with a meaningful look, clasped his fists and said, "Then I, your humble servant, would like to thank your Majesty in advance."

Zhu Gang felt relieved when he heard the word "Your Majesty".

He couldn't stop smiling, and laughed out loud with his head tilted back: "Hahahahaha! Lao Yang, you're quite cunning."

Yang Taining raised an eyebrow and pretended to be confused, "Cunning? What do you mean by cunning? I was just telling the truth. Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gang was even more delighted.

He pointed at Yang Taining several times: "You..."

only.

Before Zhu Gang could finish his next sentence, he saw Yang Taining's expression suddenly become serious, with a hint of confusion in it.

Zhu Gang knew that at this critical juncture, he couldn't be careless about anything.

You must not be too complacent.

He could only take back the conversation with a hint of dissatisfaction, suppressing his smile, and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Lao Yang?"
