As Minister of the Ministry of War, leading the army to exterminate Su Tiancheng is a matter of course. In addition, Zhu Yousong's status is extraordinary. As a member of the royal family, in the eyes of outsiders, such an arrangement is very appropriate, but it is a pity that Zhu Yousong himself You know, this is never a good task.

Although Zhu Shenxuan took refuge in Su Tiancheng, Zhu Yousong did not have such an idea. He would not betray the imperial court. Anyway, his Zhu family now ruled the world. In the past, even if the royal family members were not allowed to enter the imperial court to He was entrusted to become a vassal king in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and he was bullied by the court, and he did not see anyone who opposed the court. At most, he wanted to be able to control power, not to mention that now the royal family can enter the court as an official. .

Somewhat ironically, it was Su Tiancheng's idea that the royal family members could enter the imperial court. Now that Su Tiancheng has rebelled against the imperial court, I don't know what those royal family members who have entered the imperial court or are local officials will think. I'm afraid the emperor Thinking of this matter, my heart is not very comfortable.

Sending Qin Sande to become a supervisor is a rare situation. You must know that Qin Sande is a eunuch who holds a pen, and his status in the palace is second only to Wang Chengen. Qi Qian and others have to behave themselves in front of Qin Sande, which also shows that the emperor is not at ease with Zhu Yousong at all.

Zhu Yousong was not in a good mood when he set off from the capital. This time he was going directly to Nanjing. According to the requirements of the imperial decree, Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang and Huang Degong from Luzhou led the army into Nanzhili.Both of them had to go to Nanjing first, including Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, who also had to rush to Nanjing. Everyone in Nanjing had to discuss how to fight in detail. After all, it was an army of 33, and there were too many things to arrange.

The command aspect of the battle.Zhu Yousong really doesn't understand, but in the imperial court, this kind of things where laymen lead experts can be found everywhere, which is not a big deal, but the situation of Qin Sande is different. Qin Sande used to be the supervisor of the Jiangning camp. Regardless of whether he has participated in many battles or not, he is still familiar with the army.Especially after Su Tiancheng rebelled.The emperor especially trusted the eunuchs, and strengthened the military supervision system, including Liaodong and Datong, and sent them to the eunuchs to grasp this absolute power.

Along the way, Zhu Yousong seldom spoke, and their journey was not fast. The news came from Nanzhili.Su Tiancheng also temporarily stopped attacking, and there is nothing wrong with Nanzhili.Zhu Yousong believed instinctively that no matter how brave the Jiangning battalion was, it would not be that simple to win when facing the 33rd army.

Qin Sande thought differently. [

After so many years of hard work, he finally became the eunuch Bingbi.His status in the palace was second only to Wang Cheng'en, and because of his relationship with the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, he was able to grasp a lot of situations, and he was able to handle a lot of things in the palace. He originally thought that this situation would last.Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng rebelled.

Su Tiancheng's rebellion increased the eunuch's power, but Qin Sande was not optimistic about it. He had been in the Jiangning camp for so many years and had experienced many battles, big and small, so he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning camp. Yes, what the other armies in charge of the imperial court lack most is spirit. To put it more bluntly, it is cohesion. But Jiangning Camp is different. The soldiers of Jiangning Camp think of the honor of the army in their hearts, and compare honor Life is even more important, and Su Tiancheng's most powerful point is that the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp should be loyal to him, Su Tiancheng, not to the imperial court.

Such an army cannot be defeated, nor can it be recruited by the imperial court, unless Su Tiancheng is willing to be loyal to the imperial court.The [-] troops led by Liu Zeqing were wiped out by the Jiangning Battalion in just a few days. It is conceivable how terrifying the Jiangning Battalion's combat effectiveness is.In Qin Sande's impression, the Jiangning Battalion has never really suffered a defeat. Every battle, Su Tiancheng carefully considered and made a comprehensive deployment. This time the imperial court sent more than [-] troops to conquer, could it be Would Su Tiancheng not make any preparations? That's impossible.

Su Tiancheng did not attack Nanzhili for a long time. In Qin Sande's view, this was a very scary signal. It is estimated that Su Tiancheng was waiting for the 30-strong army to gather together. At that time, the Jiangning battalion and the army will start a decisive battle However, once the more than [-] troops collapsed, the imperial court would almost collapse.

Such a arduous task put tremendous pressure on Qin Sande. He became the supervisor of the army, and in fact he was the commander-in-chief. To lead an army of more than [-] troops to fight, how to make various arrangements is not a trivial matter.

In his heart, Qin Sande was very pessimistic, thinking that there was no hope for the court, but he could only hide his thoughts in his heart, and never dared to reveal a word.The civil and military ministers in the imperial court, even in the current situation, are still thinking about their own rights and interests, and have not considered the future of the imperial court at all. Perhaps many people think that even if Su Tiancheng becomes the emperor, they can still do things in the imperial court. What Tian Cheng wanted to turn over was only the emperor, and those scholar-bureaucrats who passed the imperial examination would still be officials of the imperial court.It is precisely because of this atmosphere that there is no excessive anxiety in the court, and no one is distraught. Even Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is probably thinking about his own way out.

Qin Sande's situation is different, including many eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs are attached to the emperor, and they are useless without the emperor. Therefore, after Su Tiancheng's rebellion, the eunuchs were very careful. They also wanted to exterminate Su Tiancheng, but unfortunately they were not capable enough, and they did not have the support of the civil and military officials of the court.

The emperor cleaned up officials on a large scale and reused Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Qin Sande did not support this point, even though he is now serving as the factory guard of Dongchang. If the emperor always does things in this way, don't Su Tiancheng rebel. The court will collapse.

Qin Sande, who served as the supervisor of the army this time, still has the mentality of going to death. He is clear about the many management systems of Jiangning Battalion. He can lead the army this time. Gathering up the combat power and serving as a general in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, he is a little arrogant, but he has a way. Since he holds the Shangfang sword and has the support of the emperor, he dares to disobey orders. No matter what his status is, he dares to cut off the opponent's head of.

For Zhu Yousong, Qin Sande didn't have too many opinions. In fact, he also knew that Zhu Yousong was just a puppet, and it was impossible to really command the army to fight. Besides, the emperor had some doubts about Zhu Yousong, because Zhu Yousong's experience , has too many intersections with Su Tiancheng.

When leaving the capital, the emperor had secretly summoned Qin Sande and made many demands, among which was Zhu Yousong. The emperor did not believe that Zhu Yousong would rebel, but he did not completely trust Zhu Yousong. It is not clear whether Zhu Yousong will directly rely on Su Tiancheng like Zhu Shenxuan.So the emperor directly gave Qin Sande the Shangfang sword. This Shangfang sword can not only punish the soldiers below, but also deal with Zhu Yousong at critical moments.

Also because there are many things to consider, Qin Sande said very little along the way. He hardly had any conversations with Zhu Yousong, and they all hurried on the road silently. Offended them.

After passing through Henan and entering Fengyang Mansion, which belongs to Nanzhili, the governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, had heard the news a long time ago, and sent troops to wait in Bozhou.

While resting in Bozhou, both Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande felt that they should have a unified understanding. In any case, in name, Zhu Yousong was the commander-in-chief and Qin Sande was the supervisor.

In the heavily guarded official post, Zhu Yousong and Qin Sande finally had an important conversation. [

Zhu Yousong's attitude was very humble, and he specifically sought Qin Sande's opinion. The implication was that it was Qin Sande who made the decision for this battle. In the face of such a major battle, Qin Sande would not be polite. They are also polite to each other, and no one should think about living a good life until the day of failure.

"My lord, our family is not welcome. The emperor's arrangement is entrusted to your lord and our family. The 33 troops will not only protect Nanzhili, but also wipe out the Jiangning camp when the opportunity is ripe. I have been in the Jiangning camp for many years, I know the bravery of the Jiangning camp, and I know Su Tiancheng's wisdom even more, so the task of my lord and our family is not light."

"Su Tiancheng occupied Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. It should be said that Nanzhili was caught in the middle. Therefore, our family thought that Su Tiancheng must take down Nanzhili. Nanzhili is my Ming Dynasty. The rich and prosperous land of the Ming Dynasty is the capital of my Ming Dynasty, Fengyang is the land of dragon prosperity of my Ming Dynasty, there must be no mistakes in Nanzhili, if the army is defeated, neither my lord nor our family will be able to account for it."

"After our family arrives in Nanjing, we plan to make a lot of decisions. This requires the support of adults. Our family does not hide it. After arriving in Nanjing, our family will ask Mr. Sun, Ma Your Excellency, Your Excellency Zuo and Your Excellency Huang, restrain the sergeants and increase their combat effectiveness..."

Qin Sande began to talk eloquently, expressing some of his own opinions, including that the army should not fight against Su Tiancheng for the time being, and could even find a way to maintain a tacit understanding with Su Tiancheng for the time being. Gather food and grass on a large scale, wait until after the autumn harvest, and then come to the decisive battle and so on.

Hearing what Qin Sande said, Zhu Yousong finally felt relieved. Although he also considered how to command the army, it was a pity that he didn't have enough experience and couldn't think of the key points. Now it seems that Qin Sande has made a good consideration up. (To be continued..)
