Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1680

Zhu Qizhen dared to let Cao Jixiang unite with Yang Liu to deal with himself, and also got a decree to canonize the king of Xinwu south, which is equivalent to creating an excellent excuse and conditions for Yang Chendong to send troops to Nanming.

I thought it would take some time to start the army, but everything was advanced because of these accidents. In March 1468, two months after the Nanming observation group returned, the Yang Department advanced from Guangxi to Guangdong in the name of the emperor’s side of the Qing Dynasty, and the battle was about to begin.

Yang sent out the first cavalry army, the new Third Army, the third army, the second, fourth and fifth divisions of Lengfeng, the first division of foreign Russia, the second Mongolian division and the third Mongolian division respectively. Nearly 300000 troops attacked from Guangdong, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces in three directions.

Among them, the first division of the world cavalry, the fifth division of Lengfeng and the third division of Mongolia sent troops to Jiangxi; The new Third Army, Lengfeng fourth division and Mongolian second division sent troops to Hubei; The third army, the second Lengfeng division and the first foreign Russian division sent troops to Guangdong.

Nearly 300000 troops came out separately, with a roaring momentum, which led to the emergency of Guangdong, Hubei and Jiangxi.

Nanming Kyoto should be Tianfu.

Kuang ye, who is already in his eighties, dragged his sick body straight into the palace and met the Nanming emperor Yingzong Zhuqi town.

Kuang Ye has been ill since he returned from chixian city. After all, he is too old to be brave. The old man who should have died in the civil castle was also changed by Yang Chendong. But finally it was time for the oil to run out and the lamp to dry up.

“Give me a seat.” when seeing Kuang Ye trembling into the hall, Zhu Qizhen shouted with heartfelt concern. At that moment, father-in-law Zhu Hai quickly agreed, commanded other small eunuchs to move a wooden chair, which was covered with a very thick cushion, and held Kuang Ye’s seat on it.

After some tossing, Kuang Ye’s face was slightly ruddy. It was caused by anger. In this way, I’m afraid his body is really bad.

“The old minister… Came to see the emperor to ask on behalf of the officials of the Ministry of arms whether the war is about to start, whether the food and weapons are ready, and whether there are enough troops.” intermittently, Kuang Ye spent half a day to finish what he wanted to say.

“Kuang Aiqing, the food and ordnance are ready. Even the matter of Bingyuan is still in some trouble. I’m afraid it will take some time.” Zhu Qizhen said at the end with a faint timidity in his tone. This is also a matter of no way. The influence of the members of the observation mission is too great. Under their influence, it seems that everyone knows that the Yang Department is extremely strong and that if we fight with them, more losses will win less, so that many young people are unwilling to join the army.

Zhu Qi Town, who got the news, had no choice but to order to catch the strong men. But even so, the effect is still not good. Many young people run away from home and hide in their nearby homes, which makes it impossible to make up for the source of troops.

Kuang Ye has been bedridden at home for a while. He doesn’t know about the chaotang. He heard that Bingyuan hasn’t prepared enough, so he said in a hurry: “Your Majesty, this can’t be careless. The Yang Department is very powerful. In addition, they have countless elite veterans of hundred battles, one by one. We all have to suffer losses. If we don’t have enough troops and can’t suppress the few with the crowd, I’m afraid it will be more difficult to win.”

“Yes, I know what Kuang Aiqing said. You’d better go back to recuperate first. After you’re well, I still need to reuse you.” Zhu Qizhen doesn’t want to tell Kuang Ye about the difficulties in the court. It’s useless and just adding trouble. That’s it. It’s better not to say so.

Seeing that the emperor promised to come down, Kuang ye could not force him too much, so he got up and left. After leaving the hall of diligent administration, he didn’t go home, but went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of officials. He wanted to see Chen Xun Shangshu and talk to him well and let him send competent people to take charge of the conscription.

Because he had been kept from his family before, Kuang Ye didn’t know that Chen Xun had long been arrested by the royal guards. As soon as he arrived at the official department, he saw the new Shangshu Cao Yu coming to meet him, he still looked puzzled.

He knows this Cao Yu. He has been working in the Ministry of officials all the time. He has no great skills. He has a way of forming gangs and has a good reputation among officials. But at least he is an old minister and a minister of the Ministry of war. What does it mean to send a Cao Yu? Then he said, “I won’t find you. I’ll ask you Chen Shangshu to meet me.”

“Chen Shangshu? There is no Chen Shangshu in the Ministry of officials, only Cao Shangshu. Lord Kuang, are you old and confused.” an official of the Ministry of officials gave an answer without much thought in order to flatter Cao Yu.

Cao Yu didn’t say a word to stop his subordinates from being so rude. These old guys are so old and still occupy such an important position. He has long been unhappy with them. Young people also want to stand out. Well, let their subordinates talk to Kuang ye with this attitude.

Kuang Ye was in poor health. He was supposed to recuperate at home. Where did he get any stimulation? He enjoyed the treatment of being given a seat in front of the emperor and treated each other with kind words. Where did he think that he would be treated like this after he arrived at the official department and would be directly contradicted by an unknown little official.

Kuang Ye is very straight and aggressive. He often doesn’t follow the rules, which is one of the reasons why he can be a minister of the Ministry of war. If you don’t manage the people of the Ministry of war hard enough, you can’t hold them down. When did he suffer such anger? His face turned red and he looked angry, but considering the national plan, he forbear He couldn’t help saying, “I’m looking for Chen Xun.”

“It’s easy to see Chen Xun. Go to the town of royal guards to comfort the prison.” the little official saw that Kuang Ye seemed to be restrained by himself. He looked proud and spoke more recklessly.

“Zhenfu prison?” for a moment, Kuang Ye didn’t understand.

“Yes, it is the town Fu Si prison.” at this moment Cao spoke, as if he were an interpretative figure. In fact, he was angry with Kuang Ye. He would tell the old ministers who has the final say in the Department. If you are old, do not stand up and show your finger at the rules. “Not only Chen Xun was in the town’s Fusi prison, but also Wang Zuo, Xie Chong, Xiao Xuan and others were there. They even claimed that Nanming was not an opponent of the Yang family, which had a bad impact. Now they are all arrested.”

Cao Yu’s words just came to this point when he saw a dark figure suddenly fall down in front of him. When he looked carefully, he knew that Kuang Ye fainted to the ground with anger, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood. It was obviously the appearance of being knocked down with anger.

After all, Kuang Ye’s qualifications were there. Once he really died in the official department, he was afraid that he would be confused. He immediately shouted for people, which raised Kuang ye, who was already in a coma and sent him to Kuang’s house. Then he sent someone to the imperial palace to find a royal doctor.

Kuang Ye was so angry that his physical condition deteriorated further. When I got back to the house, after some tossing and slowly waking up, another mouthful of blood spewed out. He murmured, self destructed the Great Wall, and then fainted again.

Three days later, Kuang Ye finally died. The loyal minister who devoted his life to the construction of the army of the Ming Dynasty finally left the Ming Dynasty at the critical time.

This is Mu Mu’s credit. He caught all the really capable officials in Nanming and replaced them with some officials who only competed for power and profit. In fact, they didn’t have much ability to take charge of politics, which not only prevented the smooth development of various work processes in Nanming, but also upset Kuang Ye until he died of illness.

But at this time, no one cares about Kuang Ye’s life and death. Even after Zhu Qizhen learned the news, he just sent Prince Zhu Jianshen to mourn.

Speaking of Zhu Jianshen, he is already a 21-year-old young man, and it is even more energetic. In history, the Ming Xianzong was a good emperor. It’s just a pity that Yang Chendong’s arrival has changed everything.

First, Zhu Qiyu won the throne, so that Zhu Qizhen did not dare to value his family affection. In order not to repeat the mistakes, he has not given the crown prince too much power.

Second, Zhu Jianshen’s mother is the Zhou family. Because empress Qian is in good health, she did not die early under the service of Mou mu. She also gave birth to another Prince Zhu Jianyi for Zhu Qi town. She is now 11 years old. His mother can’t be spoiled, and his brother can compete for power, so that he has not been established as a crown prince, but an ordinary crown prince.

Especially in the Imperial Palace, now Mou Mu has the power. In his eyes, only Zhu Jianyi, the little master, and other eunuchs naturally know what to do. Zhu Jianshen’s influence becomes weaker and weaker, and he just does something dispensable.

Kuang Ye is dead. It’s always unlucky to lose a general before the war starts. Although there was no war, Kuang Ye’s age and body couldn’t last long. But things happen so coincidentally that the impact is always not very good.

Mu Mu deliberately released the news. For a time, there were comments against Nanming, both in the palace and among the people, which made the recruitment more difficult. After all, knowing that a war will be defeated, who would send their children to the army to die?

When the following officials wrote down the bad recruitment into a fold and presented it to Zhuqi Town, the troubled emperor was not angry. Or he already knew everything and had a certain psychological preparation. He didn’t want to be angry with the ministers below like Kuang Ye.

Zhu Qizhen involuntarily thought of those old ministers. If those old ministers were willing to contribute, things would never be as bad as before. But he thought that those old ministers had already been frightened by the strength of Yang Department. If they really used their words, they could not tell what would happen. This idea was suppressed by himself. “If the conscription is not smooth, don’t levy first. Now I have 1.2 million troops in my hands and 800000 troops on the front line. I want them to win a battle and let my people see the prestige of our Nanming army. Come here, I’d like to give Guan Ying an order to attack quickly and find an opportunity to destroy one of the Yang army, so as to strengthen our Nanming prestige.”

Zhuqi town is also straightforward, directly ordered to send troops. It’s better to say a hundred words than a move, then prove it with practical action.
