I am the king of the dead

Chapter 347

There is a surname in the Ming Dynasty, the government of the two countries, which is the Xu family.

After Xu Da's death, the eldest son, Xu Hui, became the Duke of Wei, and the eldest daughter married Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan, and became the concubine of Yan.

Xu Huizu was an official in Jianwen Dynasty.

In the first year of Jianwen, on the anniversary of the death of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui, the three sons of Zhu Di, went to Beijing to pay respects to their father.

At that time, Zhu Yunqi wanted to keep the three princes of Yan as protons to prevent the king of Yan from rebelling.

Huang Zicheng, an important minister of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, said: "No, we have left three princes of Yan. Isn't it just telling the king that we are suspicious of him? It is harmful to remind the king of Yan to make preparations. All sent back."

Xu Huizu said to Emperor Jianwen: "Zhu Gaoxu is a brave and rascal. He is not only disloyal, but also betrayed his father. In the future, he will be a serious trouble for the King of Yan."

Then Zhu Yunwen asked Xu Da's second son, Xu Huizu's younger brother, Xu Zengshou, the left governor of the right army governor's mansion.

Xu Zengshou said: "The king of Yan and the emperor's father, Crown Prince Yiwen, share the same spirit. They are extremely rich. How could they rebel?"

Prince Yiwen is the prince Zhu Biao established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yunwen heard it, it made sense. How could the fourth uncle have the intention of treason?That's my fourth uncle!
Zhu Yunwen sent the three brothers Zhu Gaochi back to Yan Mansion.

In the third year of Jianwen, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong led the army and the Yanfu army to start a bloody battle in Baigou River.

Li Jinglong led an army of 60, known as a million, and the Yan Mansion was defeated steadily.

The Yan Mansion has repeatedly fought and failed, and fought and left.

Just when the army of the Yan Mansion was defeated, Li Jinglong suddenly swung his troops around to the back of Master Yan, and began to attack back and forth!
Zhu Di changed his horse three times and swung his sword with all his arrows, but he was still invincible!Seeing that the general situation is over, Zhu Di secretly said: My life is over!

Li Jinglong's tooth flag, which is the head coach's flag, suddenly fell down! !
Said it was blown down by a gust of wind.

Zhu Di saw that the enemy's tooth flag fell and his own morale increased greatly, so he started to organize an attack again.

In the Battle of Baigouhe, the Jianwen Dynasty's 60 troops were defeated, and Li Jinglong fled to Jinan.

Is Li Jinglong a spy?

Anyway, Hu Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, said that Li Jinglong was not a spy.

That gust of wind, the gale that blows down the Yaqi, is the fate of destiny!
But Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also said that although Li Jinglong was imprisoned, he finally died well.The child is also the commander of the hereditary Nanjing Jinyiwei and lives in Cao Guogong's mansion.

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu went to meet Li Jinglong after the battle of Baigouhe.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, Xu Huizu, Duke of the State of Wei, led the army and defeated the army of the Yan Mansion in Qimei Mountain!
Xu Huizu resisted the attack of the army of the Yan Mansion in Lianghuai, and bought a lot of time for the generals He Fu and Pingan to organize the army again.

At that time, the weather became hotter, Xu Zuhui, He Fu, and Ping'an's three armies advanced side by side, and the Yan's army retreated steadily.

The army of the Yan Mansion once again fell into a difficult situation where life and death were at stake!

When Xu Huizu was about to take advantage of the victory to suppress Zhu Di, he received Zhu Yunqi's edict.

Zhu Yunwen's edict ordered Xu Huizu to withdraw his troops.

Xu Huizu scolded before the battle: "The rebellious ministers in the court are comparable to Qin Hui, this edict is as stupid as the twelve golden plaques recalling Yue Fei."

Because Huang Zicheng, Huang Guan, and Fang Xiaoru in the court all said: "The refugees from Lianghuai said that the army of Yan Mansion has retreated. Xu Huizu is suspected of supporting the bandits. He will not return to Beijing with the army in his hand. This is trying to plot rebellion." !"

Zhu Yunwen asked Xu Zuhui to withdraw his troops and return to Nanjing.

When Zhu Di saw Xu Huizu's main force withdrawing, he immediately launched a crusade against He Fu and Ping An in Lianghuai.

In the end, the two Huaihe Rivers were completely occupied.

Up to this moment, Zhu Yunqi hadn't had the power to fight.

Sheng Yong, the general of the court and the central government, called for a battle. He led the navy of the Prince's Mansion and the Yan Mansion, and fought along the Yangtze River for a long time.

Zhu Di, who was worried about how to cross the river while looking at the Yangtze River, suddenly had a boat to cross the river.

No boat across the river?The Prince's Mansion can send it!

On the surface, Xu Huizu seemed to be actively resisting, but Xu Huizu's younger brother, Xu Zengshou, directly and secretly sent news to the Yan Mansion, and he was an inner ghost on the surface.

In the end, Xu Zengshou's behavior of secret passage of the song was discovered by Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yunqi killed Xu Zengshou.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he made Xu Zengshou the Duke of Dingguo.

In June of the fifth year of Yongle, Xu Huizu died at home. One month later, Xu Qin, the son of Xu Hui's ancestor, succeeded Wei Guogong.

Since then, the Xu family of Daming has two families.

The more Li Xian knew about the Jingnan Battle back then, the more he understood the weirdness of Nanya now.

It's a tradition for all the members of the Prince's Mansion to be ghosts!

The reasons behind this tradition are more complicated, and it is worth studying specifically why all the staff are ghosts.

But obviously, at this time, Wang Ji was already somewhat powerless.

Li Xian looked at Kanyu map, and asked in a daze: "We don't know about such a big event in Wei Guogong's mansion. You have besieged them in Fengyang mansion. Now they have broken through, what should we do?"

Wang Ji said painfully: "We strictly defend the front line of the Yangtze River! Withdraw from the Huaihe River!"

The rest of the personnel who often participated in military affairs were not surprised at all, and they even breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xian probably understood Wang Ji's idea, that is to rule by rowing the river.

The Yangtze River is a natural moat. As long as the natural moat is guarded, how can the Ming army cross the river without ships?
There is no way to cross the river, as long as we operate slowly, it is still possible to rule the river.

This is probably what Wang Ji thought.

People like Cai Dongpan are not in the minority. They feel that the common man Zhu Yunqi made many mistakes at the time, and even if he made one less mistake, he would be able to rule the river.

For example, Cai Dongpan said, if Sheng Yong is not allowed to play, how will Zhu Di cross the river without a navy?It is not impossible to rule the river by rowing.

Wang Ji probably also had this kind of thinking.

But at that time, King Yan was the vassal king, and the enemy who came now is the emperor!No boat?How can we cross the Yellow River without a boat?
The Yangtze River is indeed very wide, but can it still be as wide as the sea? !
The Shipping Department of Yuegang City has already started building warships. How many merchant ships are registered by the Shipping Department of Mizhou City?

Nearly five thousand!
So many merchant ships, the emperor gave an order!Five thousand ships cross the river!
Even if the money is not given, there are countless people rushing to lick the soles of the emperor's feet, willing to pull the boat over for the emperor to use.

Stick to Nanjing?

Can you hold it?

Li Xian didn't say a word, watching them plan how to completely separate from the Huaihe River, destroy the ferry, and deploy defenses along the Yangtze River in an attempt to rule the river.

The news of Xuzhou's defeat caused the city of Nanjing to become restless.

After Li Xian left the Rongzhengyuan, he immediately came to the Advisory Council, quickly wrote down a few political statements, and waited for the Councilor to be seated.

Wang Ji had to be busy with military affairs, so he didn't have the time to attend the meeting of counselors.

Li Xian waited until everyone arrived and said: "I will say a few points next, if you object, please raise your hand."

"Xuzhou was defeated, and everyone in the capital panicked."

"However, we need to know that we have 25 troops, while the emperor has only [-] troops, a regiment of troops is ready to attack Yingtian Mansion."

"Another battalion is heading towards Xiangyang."

"Our 25 troops under the city of Nanjing, deployed along the Yangtze River, will definitely be able to defend against the enemy's attack!"

"Use the emperor's [-] troops to death on the moat!"

"No matter how you see it, 25 vs. [-], the advantage is mine!"

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, the panic-like atmosphere in the Advisory Council was finally diluted a bit.

Li Xian's words are correct. The emperor's army going south to attack Yingtianfu has only 8 people. Although these 8 people are elite, they have 25 troops!

Li Xian continued: "We can't mess ourselves up before the emperor's army arrives, it's even less likely to win a military victory."

"In order to stabilize the mood of the capital, I have the following proposals. If anyone objects, you can speak."

"One, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to Yingtian Mansion and the prefectures and counties to stabilize the people's livelihood, advised the people, and strictly investigated..."

Li Xian's five strategies for reassuring the people are excellent, and the starting point is to stabilize the rear. In principle, Li Xian's five strategies for reassuring the people were formulated based on the interests of Nan Ya's imperial court.

Of course, Li Xian's efficiency is extremely high. His five points are much more effective than the one-month quarrel in the Advisory Council.

"I'm done. Who's in favor? Who's against?"

Li Xian looked around, and there were not many people who wanted to speak. The 25 counselors represented a lot of interests. If more than half of them agreed, Li Xian would not allow those who opposed to speak.

Li Xian rang the bronze bell and said, "Then send it to Qianqing Palace for approval."

"Dismiss!"

The Nanya Rongzhengyuan made a decision to fully withdraw from the Lianghuai. This decision is the same as Zhu Yunqi's decision to fully withdraw from the Lianghuai in July of the third year of Jianwen.

Fengyang Mansion also entrenched Fengyang Guard and Nanjing Army, these two Huai Yi Huai and Nan Ya are separated from each other.

The emperor's army still occupies half of the Huaihe River, especially Xuzhou, which is extremely geographically important, is already under the actual control of the Beiya.

It is meaningless for Nanya to guard the two Huaihe Rivers again.

Following this decision, the siege of Xu Chengzong and Ning Yuanbo Ren Lizhi in Fengyang Mansion was resolved, and the two of them also rushed to Xiao County, waiting for the emperor to come to Xuzhou.

Zhu Qiyu came to Xuzhou on September [-]th, and drove to the city of Xuzhou.

Yu Qian led Xuzhou civil and military officials to pick him up outside the city.

Yu Qian specially cleared out a house. There are about 170 rooms in this group of houses, as well as watchtowers, camp forts and other things. Xingyuan.

Xingyuan is built according to Hubu Mountain, covering about 800 mu of land, with Banyun Pavilion, where you can climb high and look far away; there is Tai'an Hall, where government affairs are handled and officials are received;

Jin Yiwei had already turned the entire Xuzhou Xingyuan upside down, dug the ground three feet, and finally confirmed that it was safe before His Majesty's car drove down from Dangshan Mountain.

Zhu Qiyu didn't ride a horse, but sat on a chariot, entered from Wuning Gate, and arrived at Xingyuan Gate of Hushan, and the gate opened to welcome His Majesty's chariot to enter.

Zhu Qiyu got off the carriage in front of the gate of Tai'an Hall.

The unexplainable Yan Luo in the world is stationed in Lianghuai, ready to cross the river to quell the rebellion at any time.

Liu Laoqi, the driving department, improved the "宀"-shaped shock-absorbing and buffering components of the car, which is really excellent, and the bumpy feeling is naturally there, but because the speed of the car is not fast, it is not very hard.

"See Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live." Zhu Qiyu heard the sound of saluting as soon as he got out of the car.

Yu Qian led the generals and officials from various prefectures and counties in Xuzhou to kneel together.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the courtyard. Although it looked like a remodeled folk house, it was quite grand. The architectural styles of Anhui and Hebei schools were integrated, and the structure was probably a courtyard house.

Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves and said, "Be flat."

When he arrived in Xuzhou City, he was not busy. As soon as the things in Xuzhou should be sent to the capital for disposal, he was after all personally conscripting, so naturally he only dealt with military affairs.

Only Yu Qian was in Xuzhou, Shi Heng went to Suzhou, and Shi Biao went to Haizhou (Lianyungang) along the Huaihe River.

"I have received the military report. The battle in Huaidong has basically been settled, and the battle in Huaixi is dominated by Fengyangwei and Nanjing Army, right?" Zhu Qiyu said looking at the map.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The situation has become very clear. Huaidong is attacked by the Daming Jingying Battalion, and Huaixi is guarded by Fengyangwei and Nanjing Army.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Kanyu map for a long time and said: "It is necessary to ensure the defense along the canal. If there is a disastrous defeat for the army, we will have a way out..."

Yu Qian looked at the Kanyu map, thought about it for a moment, bowed his head and said: "The minister leads the decree."

"Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong is on standby in Xiao County, please have an audience." Yu Qian talked about Wei Guogong again.

In Xuzhou Tai'an Hall, everything was quiet.

Zhu Qiyu took two memorials from Xing'an and said: "Yu Shaobao take a look at this, I will see Wei Guogong again."

This is Li Binyan's memorandum. Mizhou Shipping Department has nearly a thousand more merchant ships, and most of these merchant ships are merchant ships of Wei Guogong's mansion.

Zhu Qiyu didn't trust Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong. Strictly speaking, the Xu family was good at speculation, very similar to the family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

All the aristocratic families in the last years of Dong'an made multiple bets. No matter which side wins, the aristocratic family is the winner.

After Xu Da died of illness, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou were two brothers, one of them was loyal to Zhu Yunwen, and the Yanfu army that fought in Qimeishan retreated steadily.

The other, in order to send a letter to Yan Wang Zhu Di, died in the end.

The last one is Xu Ergong.

This Nanya rebellion, Fengyang Mansion never heard any news, until Xuzhou was captured by the Ming army, Xu Chengzong finally made a move, a surprise soldier broke through to Suzhou, and finally contacted the official army.

Zhu Qiyu is very suspicious, this Xu Chengzong is betting on both ends.

Is Xu Chengzong unable to spread the news because he is besieged, or is he waiting for the situation to develop further?

After Yu Qian finished reading the memorial, he roughly understood His Majesty's inner concerns.

He thought about it for a long time and said, "The Duke of Wei's mansion has never been rebellious."

Yu Qian didn't say that Wei Guogong lived with the country, one family and two princes, how could he rebel if he was extremely rich, and similar words.

It can be seen that Yu Qian also has some doubts about Wei Guogong, but after all, he has not seen anyone and has not been checked, so he can only say so.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Well, I think so too."

Zhu Qiyu waited outside the Jinan mansion for nearly two months, but he didn't get any fish.

The taboo of Jinan Prefecture is known to the whole world.

If Xu Chengzong wanted to make contributions to the Southern Yamen's usurpation and capture the thief and the king, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.

"Let's declare." Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne.

Xu Chengzong waited outside the city of Xuzhou. When he heard the announcement, he immediately entered the city and came towards Xingyuan.

Xu Chengzong bowed three times and kowtowed five times, and shouted loudly: "The guilty minister Xu Chengzong pays his respects to His Majesty, and wishes His Majesty a long life and longevity."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the extremely respectful Xu Chengzong, and asked calmly, "What's the crime?"

Xu Chengzong was obviously prepared, bowed his head and said respectfully: "I failed to defend Nanjing, so I had to go to Fengyang Mansion to guard the ancestor's imperial tomb. I am guilty of losing my land."

The answer was almost watertight.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said, "Then I come to ask you, how did Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian die? Where are you?"

Xu Chengzong said loudly: "Uncle Huichang and Wang Ji conspired to rebel and poisoned the Marquis of Fengcheng. When I heard the news, I only took the wife and children of Marquis Fengcheng out of the city in a hurry."

"The minister is at home."
