Chapter 347 Instant Killing the Guangdong and Guangxi Rebellion
King Lu's position as supervisor of the country has been firmly seated for two months, and the three fires of the new supervisor of the country have not aroused any apparent resistance, but have won the hearts of the beneficiary class——

The victimized wealthy business class did not dare to resist, and at the same time was tempted by the picture of the rising status of the future business class.At the same time, poor people can actually benefit from the good governance of abolishing the three rates.This means that the rich did not resist, but the poor were more supportive, and the situation is very good.

Under such a situation, if King Fu wanted to make a fuss, the hope was extremely slim.But it is a pity that other people may have a way out, but Fu Wang himself and Liu Liangzuo have no way out. They are absolutely unwilling to sit down and wait for death obediently.

It's like Zhuge Liang's famous saying in "The List of Masters Later": If you don't cut down the thieves, the king's career will also perish.But sit and wait to die, which one is better than cutting it?

Facing the tenth day of May, King Lu of Jianguo once again sent an envoy to Fengyang, and Fu Wang Zhu Yousong once again chose to forcibly continue to claim illness, but the ink did not move forward.

The envoy didn't talk too much nonsense, he just observed in Fengyang for a day or two, and then went back. After walking for three days, he returned to Nanjing. Go and urge Fu Wang to come and accept treatment.

This can be regarded as giving the other party enough face, and it has shown the court's cold treatment and generosity, and it has further won the hearts of the old Zhu family in the world-we have invited them three times, and it is those hypocrites in ancient times. It is tolerant enough to say three words and then accept them.

On May [-]th, two imperial physicians arrived in Fengyang again with the envoy. This time King Fu simply closed the door and disappeared, forcing the envoy out.

In fact, before that, Fu Wang was already preparing to jump over the wall in a hurry.

To the only old princes of the Zhu family who are still reluctant to go to the vicinity of Nanjing like him, he widely distributed letters connecting letters, just like the operation of King Wu and Liu Bi connecting the kings before the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty exactly the same.

In this proclamation to drive ducks to the shelves, Fu Wang mainly said the following reasons:

"Although it is said that the first emperor had his last words and passed them through the mouth of Empress Yi'an, Empress Yi'an has been under house arrest in Hangzhou by the thieves Shen and Zheng.

King Lu used his uncle Ling nephew to let Empress Yi'an, who should have enjoyed the treatment of the queen mother, live outside the palace. It was like a monk. "

"And even though the first emperor had his last words, ordering King Lu to supervise the country, his original intention was to entrust King Lu to take control of the situation temporarily when the soldiers were in chaos, so that King Ding and King Yong would flee south to succeed him.

At the beginning of March, when he was in prison, there was no news from Kings Ding and Yong, but it was still possible for them to escape and arrive after more than a month, separated from the north and the south.But now it has been more than three months since the news of the two kings has been cut off, which is thousands of miles away, and anyone who is alive should arrive there.

What's more, the last piece of news about the two kings was that they were killed by robbers.So now it can be concluded that the two kings are gone, even though the original intention of the late emperor to help the two kings take over the throne and temporarily set up a prison country has also been exhausted.Today's plan should be re-evaluated based on Lunchang's distance and near, and a new emperor should be elected to secure the world. How can we tamper with the original intention of the former emperor and usurp the artifact! "

In the end, of course, Zhu Yousong could not avoid pointing out the last charge of King Lu’s regime of supervising the country:
King Lu has no heirs, and has always been tolerant and cowardly, with no ambitions. It is well known in this clan.Now, however, his desire for power is so heavy that his son-in-law, Zhu Shuren, must have coerced the prison to do the harming of his clan relatives.All my clansmen of the Ming Dynasty should punish the traitors and be on the side of the Qing Dynasty, so that they can be reassured as indifferent and virtuous kings.

There is nothing unusual about this one, since they are all in series to resist self-protection, if there is no excuse, they have to find some excuses, and describe King Lu as a puppet held hostage by a traitor.

Besides, if Zhu Shuren knew about it, he wouldn't feel wronged in private.Even when no one is around, he can admit to the world alone: ​​That's right!The Lord is a traitor and a traitor, who likes to support weak puppets, and the Lord is also the number one thief in Tianzi!But who would let the pig-raising princes of Old Zhu's family not do a good job!
……

It is impossible for Zhu Yousong's series to be very secretive.Therefore, while claiming illness and resisting, while making Liu Liangzuo frantically prepare for the defense, one out of ten of his secret letters to contact the kings was searched and intercepted by court officials——

Zhu Shuren was very vigilant about such things, so before he left the capital, he advised his father-in-law to pay attention to let the local officials monitor the kings, especially those princes who could not resist.

After Zhu Shuren returned to Wuchang, Shen Tingyang was still in Nanjing. Even if he was only in charge of the household department, he would help his son pay attention to these potential risks, so this policy has been implemented well.

After intercepting these serial letters, Shi Kefa also knew the priorities, and did not announce it officially in the court immediately, otherwise the matter would be irreversible, and more princes would jump over the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, Shi Kefa still chose a small-scale discussion with only three people participating in the first time, and only submitted these secret reports to Zhu Changqian, the supervisor, and let Shen Tingyang participate in the discussion. The other four ministers were kept in the dark for the first time.

After working together for the past two months, he also realized that Zhu Changping is a very benevolent and cowardly prince, he listens to the subordinates in everything, he will never engage in arbitrary decisions, and he is very humble when he listens to the opinions of his cabinet ministers.

Shi Kefa has gradually become more comfortable working with such a prison prince, and he likes to play alone.

This time was no exception, the three of them were very accommodating, and Shi Kefa went straight to the point and explained the situation.

When Zhu Changqian heard this, his first reaction was to be startled, but he quickly calmed down—because he was already mentally prepared for the possibility that Nephew Fu would do something, and he had laid the groundwork for more than two months, sending people back and forth Please two or three times.

At this moment, it was nothing more than the fact that the second boot had finally landed on the ground, which made people feel relaxed even after their heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Changqian asked sadly: "Shi Qing thinks, what can I do? I want to attack them immediately... Well, the situation in the north has been deteriorating in the past two months. I heard that the Tartars were killed by the Yellow River in April. Now it seems that Has crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered Shanxi?

Even though the terrain in Shanxi is rugged, it may be able to hold the Tartars for a few months, but at most it will be delayed until autumn.If the Tartars act quickly, they may go south in autumn.Even if the intruders procrastinate for a while longer and don't use soldiers until the severe winter is approaching, at the beginning of next spring at the latest, the southern half of our Ming Dynasty will inevitably suffer from the Tartar soldiers.

At this moment, Gu really does not want to see our Han army killing each other. It would be best if we can kill nephew Fu and kill less people. "

From what Zhu Changbai said, it is not difficult to see that in the past two months, he still cared about current affairs.Although he is incompetent in dealing with government affairs, at least he is not ignorant of the situation. He will read the Ministry of War newspaper every day, at least let the eunuch read it to him.

Historically, Chongzhen died in March of the 17th year of Chongzhen, and it was April when the Tartars entered the customs in a stone war.
In addition, after the Tartars arrived in Beijing, they had to fight among themselves to confirm the dominance of the Dorgon faction. Therefore, it was not until October of that year that the Tartars were considered to have completely settled Hebei, as well as Henan and Shandong, which are located north of the old course of the Yellow River. part.

Then Azige and Duoduo split their troops to the south to deal with Li Zicheng and Nanming respectively.And because of the procrastination in beating Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng also counterattacked the Huaiqing Mansion north of the old course of the Yellow River from Kaifeng and Luoyang in the history, forcing Duoduo to take a detour to support Azig, wasting several months, and rushed The coldest season of winter is not conducive to the use of troops, so in the end it was in February of the following year that the hinterland of Nanming was formally attacked, and in April they reached Huainan.

In this life, the death of Chongzhen was nearly two months earlier, and Li Zicheng's remaining strength when he took Beijing was still weaker than that of the same period in history.Therefore, in the face of the Tazi's attack, the time Li Zicheng can hold on will be slightly shorter.

Calculated in this way, according to theoretical deduction, it is possible that the Tartars will be able to launch an attack on Kaifeng and Luoyang in Henan, and the follow-up Shaanxi in July.In this way, it is very likely that before October, the territory between Henan and Huaibei will be completely over, and then the commander of the Qing army's southern expedition may attack Huainan before the coldest day of winter.

Although these things haven't happened yet, people with a little military common sense can roughly estimate the enemy's progress.

Even Shi Kefa, who was indecisive and underestimated the Tartars in history at the beginning, in this life, because of Zhu Shuren's butterfly effect, because of Zhu Shuren's subtle reminders before, and Li Zicheng's work is indeed better than another time and space, so even Shi Kefa has clearly realized: The biggest threat to Ming has now become the Tartars!Not a burglar!

All the actions of the Nanjing court, of course, must be arranged around the rhythm of "the first wave of attacks by the Tartars may be faced at the end of autumn and early winter this year".Both Shi Kefa and Shen Tingyang have a consensus:
If the first wave can be withstood, then this offensive is likely to suffer a serious setback, forcing the Tartars to withdraw their troops and return to the north, making preparations from the beginning, so that the south can get another respite for at least a year and a half , to rectify the interior.

Because when the winter offensive comes, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is for fighting, and quick battles are needed. As long as a wave of small defeats, it can last for a long time.Just like Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi back then, soldiers were also used in the middle of winter, and there were no wormwood in the south, and the cavalry could not hold on for a long time.

All the current decisions of the Nanjing court must not hinder the core goal of "defending the potential October offensive"!Otherwise, the world will be gone, and it will be useless for a group of clans to win a battle!
Shi Kefa also thought about the current situation in depth, and had to make a prudent suggestion: "Your Majesty is very worried, and it is indeed a blessing for the world. Although we can calm King Fu with soldiers and horses right now, the Tartars will fight the furthest Soldiers and horses are near Huaiqing, Weihui and Linqing.

If the generals of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River were in confusion because of the imperial court's action against King Fu, the Tartars might change their targets and attack the remaining state capitals in Shandong and Huaibei in advance.However, the direct soldiers and horses of the imperial court are in a civil war with the army bewitched by King Fu, which makes it even easier for the Tartars.We also have to beware of King Fu directly surrendering to the Tartars in order to save his life and making them puppets of the Tartars.

From this point of view, it is really necessary to be cautious when attacking the Huaibei Fanzhen.It's better to wait and see first, if the Tartars go south, they can fight against the Tartars first, anyway, those rebellious soldiers and horses are not considered to have died in the internal struggle of the Han people.

In contrast, the imperial court should speed up the use of this opportunity, first take down all the other vassal kings who are connected with King Fu, and cut off their wings, so as to consolidate our Ming Dynasty's rear.

Especially looking at the letters of the King Fu, and the envoys who were captured and interrogated, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions have the most vassals connected with King Fu, especially this "King of Jingjiang", who has been said to have a lot of ideas.It is better to let Zhu Shuren, the governor of Huguang, take advantage of the trend and use Huguang soldiers to go south, and wipe out the colluding princes of Guangdong and Guangxi with lightning speed.
All the other provinces should take the initiative to deal with King Fu after the internal rectification is complete, so as to overwhelm others and disintegrate the hearts of officials and generals who have been coerced in the north. Return to the court with peace of mind.

If it doesn't work, some conditions can be given to the generals including Liu Zeqing. As long as they insist on fighting on the Tartar flank, even if it is a separatist regime, the court will reward them, just like Wu Sangui.

I estimate that when the Tartars attack south, the Laiwu Peninsula in Shandong Province, which is located east of the Tai and Meng Mountains, will definitely not be valued by the Tartars. Those places are surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are mountainous areas isolated from the Central Plains. on the traffic arteries.As long as Liu Zeqing is willing to evade at that time, even if the Shandong peninsula is separated, the Tartars will probably not care.

As long as the imperial court can control the territory from being occupied by the Tartars, the local money, food and population are not used by the Tartars, and his troops don't surrender and become traitors, that's enough.In this way, when the time comes, the imperial court will hope that only Liu Liangzuo will be punished to solve the Fu Wang Rebellion, and the other generals who are coerced will still have a chance to fight for it!Minimize civil war damage! "

After listening to Shi Kefa's meticulous long-winded analysis, Zhu Changping was completely relieved. After thinking about it carefully, he realized the beauty of Shi Kefa's strategy.

The biggest problem for the two Huaihe separatist forces is that they are now caught in the cracks, whoever fights first will suffer losses, and may be forced to defect to the enemy.

In contrast, the potential rebels in Guangdong, Guangxi or other southern hinterlands, and those who colluded with King Fu, can only be dealt with by the Nanjing court.If the Nanjing court does not act, no one else will do it for you—you can’t expect the Vietnamese to invade Guangdong and Guangxi, right?
Therefore, to eat good food, of course, you have to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, but to eat bitter medicine, you have to do the opposite, eat what is in the bowl first, maybe when you finish eating in the bowl, you don’t need to eat what is in the pot yourself.

After a secret discussion among the three parties, Zhu Changbai immediately made a decision and asked Shi Kefa to speed up the search and arrest of all vassal kings who were in cahoots and refused to come to Nanjing in the name of colluding with King Fu to cause rebellion.

South Zhili and Jiangxi were handled by Shi Kefa himself, and Zhejiang was handed over to Zhang Guowei, the governor of Zhejiang, who was also an old friend of Shen Tingyang and Zhu Shuren.

In other Huguang and Sichuan provinces, there is actually no need to do anything. The local feudal lords have already been killed by Zhang Xianzhong in the same year, and the only remaining ones were actively sent by Zhu Shuren in the past two months.

So in the end there were only Liangguang left, which allowed Zhu Shuren to advance lightly, lead the army with a secret decree, prepare with both soft and hard hands, and the thunder was extinguished!
……

After the secret decree was issued, all parties quickly worked together. Several vassal kings who colluded with Fu Wang's letters were arrested and questioned before they could react. Those who dared to resist or escape were shot and killed. This is also a special period. There is no problem with special orders and special affairs. These princes have already been caught as evidence of clearly participating in the great treason.

Because the news was well blocked, King Fu of Huaibei didn't know until the beginning of June that several of the internal relatives he had secretly colluded with had been arrested and killed.

He also had to bite the bullet, and on the fifth day of June, with the support of Ruan Dacheng and Liu Liangzuo, he hastily proclaimed himself emperor, and then his reasons for proclaiming himself emperor, as well as his closest blood relationship with the late emperor, and the late emperor's will to supervise the country were invalidated. After saying everything, he tried to call on a group of people to follow him.

However, people in the world who see his strength clearly will not follow him.Only Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo were determined to be traitors and knew that the Nanjing court would not forgive them.And even Liu Zeqing from the Shandong Peninsula chose to wait and see.

Among the civil servants, only Ruan Dacheng, a scholarly scum and a great traitor in history, was pushed out by the local annals of Tongcheng and Huaining in later generations. He was named a fake bachelor.

(Note: Ruan Dacheng’s question was mentioned earlier, so let me remind you again. Later generations of Huaining local chronicles said that Ruan Dacheng was from Tongcheng, and Tongcheng local chronicles said that Ruan Dacheng was from Huaining. The two places competed and scolded each other, saying that they were raised on the other side’s land. Such a big traitor.

Until the 21st century, Baidu Encyclopedia did not dare to write his hometown. If you click on the modification record of the entry, you can see many rounds of complaints, scolding and questioning.Once it is written that it is from Tongcheng, the contemporary Tongcheng people will complain; if it is said that it is from Huaining, the contemporary Huaining people will complain, so I had to not write it)

Even Ruan Dacheng's close friend Ma Shiying and the real governor of Fengyang felt that this matter was too big and hopeless, and tried to flee south to apologize, but was detained by the military leader Liu Liangzuo and placed under house arrest. It still needs to be used as a sign—— I have to mention here that Ma Shiying's nature is not too bad, it's just that his interests are bound by Ruan Dacheng.

In history, although Ma Shiying supported King Fu's supremacy, he didn't think so at the beginning.At the beginning Ma Shiying tried to cooperate with Shi Kefa, but the problem is that in the era of war and chaos, the unruly people in the army cannot be completely controlled by civilian officials.

Ma Shiying also saw that Liu Liangzuo and even the historical Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and others had sharpened their swords and wanted to stand up to the dragon. He was afraid of being thrown away by the people below and thrown to the opposite side, so he had to speculate when things came to an end.

But now that the situation is so bad, Ma Shiying is not stupid. He knows that King Fu will not succeed, and he wants to proclaim himself emperor in Fengyang. It was death, why did he follow him?
It's a pity that his attempt to escape and resist finally verified the loss of control of the military leaders of this era. Liu Liangzuo went so far as to do nothing, directly tied up his old boss and used it as a signboard forcibly.In this way, even if it is verified that Ma Shiying did not participate in the future, a crime of incapacity to restrain is inevitable. If he can be dismissed from office and exiled to keep his life alive, the Nanjing court will be lenient.

……

While King Fu was tossing and tossing in Huaibei, trying to proclaim himself emperor according to Fengyang, the central capital, Zhu Shuren had already advanced thousands of miles because of the news.

Not to mention, there is a vassal king Jingjiang King in Guangdong and Guangxi, who is really a top iron.This Jingjiang king is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. The first Jingjiang king was the son of Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. It was passed down to the Chongzhen period, and it was the No. 13 generation, named Zhu Hengjia.

Historically, after the fall of King Fu's regime, this Zhu Hengjia fought for orthodoxy with the kings of Tang and Lu, claimed to be the supervisor of the country in Guangdong and Guangxi, and finally tried to proclaim himself emperor, but was overthrown and killed.

Now, because of the butterfly effect, when Zhu Hengjia was in conflict with the Nanjing court and refused to go to court, he was dozed off by King Fu and handed him a pillow.
He himself still called Jian Guo, but respected King Fu as emperor, just because the "pseudo-dynasty" in Nanjing separated the north and the south, so the emperor in Fengyang, the central capital, could not directly exercise the power over Guangdong and Guangxi, so he, the Jian Guo, acted as the supervisor. Guangdong and Guangxi.

Because the preparations were more adequate than in the same period in history, and with the help of King Blessing to infiltrate and connect, Zhu Hengjia really made a bigger momentum than in the same period in history.

Because of his sudden surprise attack and the hostage of the local governor, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was unexpectedly captured by the surprise attack. Zhu Hengjia also won tens of thousands of troops who did not know the truth and were willing to support King Fu.

(Historically, Ding Kuichu captured Zhu Hengjia, but Ding Kuichu had no skills. He was an expert in internal fighting and an outsider in external fighting. He surrendered as soon as the Qing army arrived, and he also confiscated 20 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver Ten thousand taels dedicated to Duoduo/Li Chengdong)
The butterfly effect of these little people is not important anymore. Anyway, it is a scene where Zhu Hengjia and other Guangdong and Guangxi vassals and the incompetent governor dog bite dog.

However, when Zhu Shuren brought the Heavenly Soldiers to kill them with lightning speed, they only had one or two small battles, and the soldiers of the Liangguang Guards who hadn't fought for a long time collapsed quickly, and directly chose to surrender to the court again.

It took Zhu Shuren less than a month to occupy all places from Guangzhou to Guilin, including staking land, and it was a good thing to liquidate it.

Zhu Hengjia also knew that his crimes were serious and he would not be able to live. He was afraid of being tortured, so he chose to commit suicide before being captured.Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was captured by him, was also killed by the desperate cronies in revenge.Zhu Shuren had no choice but to ask the court to send a new governor.

Of course, if Lu Wang’s father-in-law finds it annoying that there is no suitable person to appoint a governor, that’s okay. Anyway, one governor is enough for a province to govern, and the governor is not a must.

In just over a month, some big traitors under Zhu Shuren's command under the command of the remaining vassals and governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ding Kuichu, whose names could be remembered in history books in his previous life, were in various forms and couldn't be more legitimate. Disappeared.

In history, the 20 taels of gold and 300 million taels of silver that Ding Kuichu would donate to Duoduo and Li Chengdong were reversed, and of course they were all confiscated by Zhu Shuren.

After making this contribution to countering the rebellion, after Zhu Shuren returned to Wuchang, he should be able to be justified and promoted to the rank.

-

PS: I don’t want to write more about the Han Chinese Civil War, so I’ve just passed the journal account, but I have to explain it.Everyone knows that Guangdong and Guangxi have been completely controlled, and the rebellious King Jingjiang in history is gone, and all those involved are gone, that's all.

This is also a [-]-word chapter, which is actually equal to two more.
