Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 285

Wang Ji summarized the information from the capital, combined with the emperor's secret decree, weighed it repeatedly, and shook his head again and again regarding this treacherous court situation.

Since Guizhou is four thousand miles away from the capital, Wang Ji only had information up to the third day of the first month of the first year of Jingtai.

So what Wang Ji knows now is that the emperor restored Empress Hu and adopted her name; then King Tan was poisoned, Wang's family self-immolated, and the entire Palace of Prince Tan was killed and injured; finally, the fire in Fengtian Hall burned down the entire three halls.

As for the emperor’s edict of sinning himself; then the Cining Palace and Qianqing Palace were on fire; then the empress dowager was forced to issue an edict of sinning himself, and the emperor’s faction was completely coaxed, Wang Ji still didn’t know about it.

Judging from the information in Wang Ji's hands, the emperor's heirs were all lost, and the three halls were burned down, and he was still in a very passive situation.

Whether to continue to wait and see, or to take refuge immediately has become a more difficult issue.

Heirs are a big problem, which has become the biggest obstacle for civil and military officials to change their positions.If you take refuge rashly, if the new emperor's heir is in trouble, then you will be in big trouble.

And this is very possible. Xuanzong's lesson from the past is there. He lived to be 37 years old and gave birth to two sons in total, one of whom was almost an illegitimate child.

While Wang Jizheng was suspicious, Baoding Bo Liang Pang and Deputy Commander Fang Ying had already arrived.Wang Ji hurriedly ordered people to come in, and then retreated to the left and right, and the three gathered together to discuss secretly.

Wang Ji decided to test the two people's attitudes towards the emperor first. If they can be dragged into the water, they can greatly diversify their risks.When there is a problem, if two more people carry it together, the pressure will be much less.

Since Zhu Qiyu wrote in the secret decree rather obscurely and there was no shady content, Wang Ji handed the secret decree to the two of them for circulation.

After watching it, the two had different reactions.Uncle Liang Ping of Baoding frowned and remained silent.

And Fang Ying congratulated Wang Ji again and again: "Bo Jingyuan's day as Marquis of Jin is not far away, I'm really happy to congratulate."

Wang Ji smiled wryly and shook his head: "Your Majesty sent us an additional [-] troops, and suggested an all-out attack to quickly suppress the Miao chaos.

Your Majesty declares that this is just a suggestion, and how to use troops is entirely up to us to decide.

Let's talk about it, how should the army be deployed next? "

Fang Ying tentatively replied after hearing the words: "Then listen to Your Majesty, the whole army will attack, and the more than [-] troops will go all out to completely wipe out the chaos?"

Wang Ji shook his head: "Although we have an army of 25, our original army of [-] to conquer Luchuan has already arrived in Wuchang.

The seedling chaos rose, and we were called back again.This part of the army has been fighting continuously and is extremely exhausted.

His Majesty has successively increased our troops by [-], most of them are recruits, and they need more practice before they can make great achievements on the battlefield.

The [-] army brought by Yu Qian and Shi Heng this time is considered a new force and can be used.

In addition, in my capacity as the military governor of the five provinces, I transferred Anyuan Hou Liu Pu to lead [-] Guangxi soldiers to help suppress the bandits.

Although His Majesty has now assigned Guangxi to Governor Wang Ao, I have already transferred this part of the army, and I certainly cannot return it.

So I plan to use this 13 new force to launch the first wave of attacks.Anyuanhou's [-] troops set out from Liuzhou and marched into Guiyang.

The [-] troops newly sent by the imperial court were stationed in Yuanzhou first, then swept all the way to the southwest, and joined the Marquis of Anyuan in Guiyang. "

Liang Ping and Fang Ying looked at each other when they heard the words.The two immediately understood what Wang Ji meant. This was throwing stones to ask for directions.First send an army of 13 to test the strength of the Miao people.

It would be best if the Miao chaos could be suppressed easily.If the battle is unfavorable, it will not be too late to send the most elite [-] troops.

No matter how brave the Miao people were, it was impossible for them to resist the imperial court's [-] well-equipped and experienced main force.

Besides, if more than 20 troops are dispatched together, the logistical supplies alone will be completely overwhelmed.

Liang Pang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly added: "Our army has already arrived in Wuchang, and the seedling chaos has arisen, so we have to turn around and go south, passing through Yueyang and Changsha, and entering Hengyang and Yongzhou.

I suggest that the army continue to go south to Guilin.

Then the whole army was divided into three groups, and the north route was led by Marquis Shiheng of Wuqing with [-] troops, and marched towards Guiyang via Yuanzhou.

From the south, Marquis Anyuan led an army of [-] troops to Guiyang.

Our 15-strong army is the middle route, slowly sweeping towards Guiyang through Guilin.

In this way, the 25 armies finally joined Guiyang, and then continued to attack with Guiyang as the center to completely suppress the Miao chaos in Guizhou. "

Hearing this, Fang Ying asked rather puzzled: "It's good for the three armies to attack together, but in this way, Huguang will definitely be empty.

If the Miao people went deep into the various prefectures in Huguang and threatened Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Wuchang, and Changsha, and caused a catastrophe at that time, how should we explain to the court? "

Liang Ping smiled confidently: "The Miao people live scattered in the mountains and cannot coordinate their actions. How could they go deep into the interior on a large scale. Besides, my army of more than [-] is so powerful that the Miao people will only rely on the deep mountains, dense forests and dangerous places when they know that. How could he be so stupid as to run to the plain?

Even if a small group of Miao people enter the plain, let the local guards be responsible for exterminating them. "

Wang Ji also fell into a long silence, and after a long time, he sighed deeply: "Our 15 army is divided into two parts, and the [-] elites who conquered Luchuan went south to Guilin according to Bao Dingbo's words.

The [-] troops dispatched by the Holy Majesty at the beginning guarded Xiangyang to prevent the Miao people from entering the plain. "

Both Liang Juan and Fang Ying nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Ji was very satisfied.Now it's all right, Liang Ping and Fang Ying are considered to be on the thief's boat.

The next process of suppressing the Miao chaos will definitely satisfy the emperor very much.

The three of them are the best of the best, and each of them is tacitly aware of the mysteries of these military deployments.

Some things can only be done, not said.The certificate of vote paid to the emperor must be covered by clouds and fog, and there is no trace to follow.It is best to find no clues at all in the future history books.

The only thing the three of them worry about now is whether the emperor will take the blame for the 'flaws' that occurred in the process of suppressing the Miao chaos.

If the emperor is willing to bear the consequences, the three of them can just wait to be promoted.

But if the emperor is the kind of person who wants his own benefits and let his subordinates bear all the faults, then the fun will be great.

After reaching a consensus, the three of them discussed the specific details in detail, and then wrote the agreed military deployment into the secret note, which was sent to the capital urgently within eight hundred miles.

Although Wang Ji has the right to act cheaply, he still needs to report to the emperor for major military operations.

And in this way, the emperor can get a reply in less than a month, so as to know the emperor's attitude as soon as possible.

……

On the 26th of the first lunar month, early in the morning.

Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to lie on the bed, ready to drink a bowl of porridge, and then continued to sleep until noon.

Unexpectedly, the sky failed to fulfill the wishes of the people, and just after drinking half of the porridge, a little maid hurriedly ran in to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, some elders have come with Wala's envoys.

The envoys of Nawara made a fuss and insisted on meeting His Majesty. "
