Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 555: Wang Ji attacks Luchuan and Burmese local official Huang Yan invites Yi Chu
Mu Lin, the chief military officer of Yunnan, led an army of [-] people and returned to its capital, Ava, with the Burmese army conquering Annan.Fang Ying followed him with an army of [-].

The reason Mu Lin gave was that she wanted to help Myanmar mediate along the way and formally deliver the promise to Meng Yang, who was under the management of Myanmar.

The Burmese people were looking for small profits, so they agreed in a daze.

But it doesn't matter if you don't agree. Guang Mulin's well-equipped [-]-strong army is already a behemoth for Myanmar, not to mention Wang Ji's main army next to it.

Mu Lin came up with a Ming version of "false way to destroy Guo", and unexpectedly invaded the capital of Myanmar, Ava.Fang Ying's army followed closely behind, while Wang Ji and Chen Mao led two armies from north to south, commanding from a high position, and invaded the hinterland of Myanmar.

By the end of October, all of Burma had fallen, and the king of Burma was forced to surrender.

The former King of Luchuan, who had been imprisoned in Burma, fell into the hands of the Ming army.Wang Ji will escort Si Jifa and the Burmese royal family to the capital.

There are three reasons why the battle against Burma went so smoothly: First, Burma's combat power was too poor, and Wang Ji had promised to transfer Mengyang to Burma.

However, Myanmar was too late to send troops to take over, and was even less able to establish rule in Mengyang. In the end, it had to release the captured Sibufa.As a result, Sibufa was unwilling to be a puppet, and Myanmar could do nothing but stare blankly.

This combat power was not only far weaker than that of the Luchuan Kingdom back then, it was even far from Annan.

Second, the Governor-General of Taungoo in Myanmar responded internally.

Third, Wang Ji only cared about military operations and did not care about the political impact at all.

Wang Ji dared to use any tricks to destroy Guo, make lies and surrender, and never tired of deceit. As for the negative political impact, that was a headache for the emperor.

Wang Ji's principle is to only kill and not bury.

At the same time that the main force of the Ming army attacked Burma, Baoding Bo Liangjue also captured Mengyang, captured Si Bufa, and also sent him to the capital.

In this way, brothers Si Jifa and Si Bufa will soon reunite in Beijing, and judging from the time, they will be together in time to celebrate the New Year.

Is it over here?Not really.

The Ming army did nothing and continued to fight. After the war in Burma and Mengyang subsided slightly, Liang Jue and Fang Ying respectively led their armies to attack westward, attacking Manipur, Demasa, Ahong, Bajia Pagoda and Diban.This is what later became Bangladesh, so that the territory of the Ming Dynasty directly bordered India.

Why were these generals of the Ming army so radical?
Because Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Liang Yue, and Fang Ying all wanted to complete their achievements in one battle and completely determine their titles.

Now that the situation is like this, if the emperor doesn't grant Wang Ji and Chen Mao the title of Duke, will it be unbearable?

Would it be equally unforgivable to deny Liang Yue and Fang Ying the title of marquis?
Even though several of them had a close relationship with Emperor Gong Rang, there is no reason why the Emperor should not give him a generous reward for such a great contribution, right?
The first day of November.

Time flies and the weather turns cooler.

Zhu Qiyu had moved back to Hehuan Hall, and he was still lying in bed at noon, refusing to get out of bed.

In the past three months, Zhu Qiyu, in addition to working hard with the imperial concubines to create people, also met with the generals of the army.

This time Zhu Qiyu was very radical. He met with every household directly and had heart-to-heart talks and ideological work one by one.

He was busy until the end of October to complete the reception, so starting from the first day of November, Zhu Qiyu said that he was accidentally caught by the wind and cold, and he started to mess up again.

November [-]th is the Longevity Festival for Emperor Gongrang, and it will also be a big day that shocks both the government and the public.

So before that, Zhu Qiyu will give himself ten days off to relax and unwind. After all, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the only way to live longer is to rest as much as Jiajing and Wanli did.

However, unfortunately, Zhu Qiyu was playing and hugging Lin Xiangyu in bed, when Qianxue and Suxi walked in with gloating expressions on their faces.

Zhu Qiyu's intuition was that something was wrong, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Who is causing trouble again?"

Qianxue handed over the two memorials: "Husband, please read it yourself."

Zhu Qiyu took the memorial and read it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "What was supposed to come finally came."

It turns out that the memorial was written by Huang Yan, a local official in Guangxi, requesting Yi Chu;
Another memorial was jointly signed by Zeng Hui, the right political advisor in Guangxi, and Xia Xun, the censor who patrolled Guangxi. In order to compete for inheritance rights and obtain hereditary official positions, Huang Rui brutally murdered his younger brother's family.

In history, Jingtai, after seeing the memorial written by Huang Yan requesting Yi Chu, came up with a famous saying: There is such a loyal minister thousands of miles away.

But now Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial back: "Send it to the cabinet and let them draw up the votes."

"What do you mean, husband?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I don't mean it. In the first three years of Jingtai, I was the one who took the lead. In two months, it will be the fourth year of Jingtai. With the new year and new weather, it is time for the cabinet to protect me from the wind and rain. Otherwise, why would you spend so much salary to support them?

Also, it’s time for the cabinet to collectively submit the petition. "

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Husband, do you want the cabinet to work with you to depose the emperor?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded. All civil and military officials, including the government and the public, would have never dreamed that I would attack in the east and west. It seemed that I wanted to depose the prince, but in fact I was going straight to depose the emperor.

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What title do you intend to give Emperor Gongren?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "He gave me the title of King Xi, and I gave him the title of King Yi. This is considered a reciprocity of courtesy."

"But is there anyone using the royal title of King Yi now?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said nothing, turned over and pressed Lin Xiangyu under him, and continued to teach the beauty.

By the afternoon, the two memorials were forwarded to the cabinet.

Everyone in the cabinet has lived in peace for three months, and now the good life has come to an end.

Huang Yanshangshu requested Yi Chu, but no one dared to express his position.

The emperor did not directly veto it, but sent it to the cabinet, indicating that the emperor originally wanted Yi Chu.

However, the time for Yi Chu was not ripe at this time, and Huang Yan committed a serious crime, so he went to Shangshu to request Yi Chu just to survive.If you support Huang Yan, you will definitely attract criticism from both the government and the public.

Nowadays, these bachelors in the cabinet are not very different in terms of strength and status. No one can completely suppress the others.So we can only discuss it back and forth.

Wang Wen looked at Wei Ji first, and Wei Ji shook his head in confusion.

Wei Ji was already very old and had been overwhelmed by household chores in the past six months, so he simply expressed his disapproval of Yi Chu at this time and didn't say much.

The same goes for Zhou Chen, Minister of Industry, who was about to fall down from exhaustion.

Luo Tong, Minister of War, was also relatively conservative.

Just when the atmosphere was dull, He Wenyuan stood up and preached to everyone: "God bless the king who is made by the people, and his legacy will be safe in the world; the father has a son who will be passed down to the world, and he will be born in adulthood."

It is natural that father’s legacy should be inherited by sons, so why should there be any hesitation? "

He Wenyuan's words had already been spoken once at the meeting of relatives after the mutiny.He Wenyuan was the first to stand in line, but now he has boarded the pirate ship and cannot get off, so he can only walk in the dark.

Huang Pu, Jiang Yuan, and Wang Yining all nodded in agreement.

Xue Xuan added: "He Shangshu's words are reasonable, but Huang Jin's crime is so heinous that it must not be tolerated."

Wang Wen understood the emperor's intentions best and immediately concluded: "Since everyone has no objection to Yi Chu, let's pass this memorial to all officials and let the government and the public discuss it."

'Everyone has no objection to Yi Chu', Wang Wen made a statement for everyone present.

Although everyone felt it was a bit hasty, no one was willing to publicly stand up against Yi Chu.

Once someone stands up and openly opposes it, only to find that no one follows up to support it, it is political death on the spot.

Yichu is destined to be a long tug-of-war, and there is no need to fight to the death at the beginning.

When you reach the position of cabinet minister, minister, or minister, even if you have different opinions, you can first instruct the minister to speak up. There is no need to rush forward as soon as you come up.

But in the final analysis, it is Zhu Qiyu's martial arts skills in the past three years that have calmed people down.

As a result, Huang Yan's memorial was circulated to all officials by the cabinet, and it was stated that the government and the public could discuss it freely, and they could speak freely without fear of being punished for their speech.

On the third day of November, King Huo'er Huo'er, one of the three major princes of Oara, sent an envoy to the capital in the name of King Yi Zhu Jianru to congratulate Emperor Gongrang on the Longevity Festival.

Huoer Huda also put forward a condition: he asked that his daughter be paired with the crown prince as a concubine.
