Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1696
Before closing the eagle’s mouth, Yu Mian said again: “Now I have something to tell general Guan. This time you ordered the whole army to surrender. The emperor of Nanming has known. Now your family has been caught in the prison of Zhenfu prison by the royal guards and may die, exile or exile at any time. But our king Wunan has the virtue of living well. For the sake of saving so many Han soldiers, it has been arranged People have protected the general’s family. But whether they are safe depends on your next performance. ”
“Er…” Guan Ying, who was about to get angry to express his dissatisfaction, even to express his loyalty to Nanming, immediately closed his mouth.
Now he is obviously hated by Yingzong. You can imagine how history books will record himself under the instruction of the emperor. Although he thinks he has a clear conscience, sometimes rumors can really kill people. Even if you are dead, you will be restless.
He has completely offended Nanming. If he is offending King Wunan, he is really dead and can’t close his eyes. Now his family cares about him. If he wants to say anything, he must think about it carefully.
With this consideration, Guan Ying’s face became more ugly. From Yu Mian’s words, he heard another meaning, that is, the current Yang Department seems to be able to reach out to the royal guards, exaggerate, and even achieve the purpose of controlling each other, which is a little frightening.
With his own mistakes, the emperor Yingzong who gets the news will certainly let the royal guards take his family at the first time. But under such circumstances, King Wunan is still confident that he can save his family’s life. Doesn’t this prove that the royal guards are no longer pure and no longer the butcher’s knife in the hands of Yingzong. He can chop wherever he wants?
Considering the heated case of arresting officials in Kyoto of the Southern Ming Dynasty, four of the six ministers were arrested, and many officials of the Yamen were also arrested by the royal guards. I thought it was because these people participated in the observation mission, but now it seems that things will not be so simple. Maybe what the royal guards did is not only the meaning of Yingzong, but also the meaning of King Wunan.
Think about it. When those capable officials are arrested, can Nanming stay calm? Even if some newly promoted officials come up, can they master the situation in such a short time?
It turns out that the strength of the Yang clan has penetrated to such an extent. It’s ridiculous that their generals still want to repel the five-star army on the front line? I’m afraid that even if they don’t have such powerful firearms, they will fail in the end because the officials behind them are not effective and can’t be delivered.
Thinking of this, Guan Ying felt less heavy. He seemed to have seen the scene of the defeat of Nanming. He was just an appetizer before the defeat.
Guan Ying, who knew that Nanming’s absence would become a climate, put down his burden in his heart. When he looked at Yu Mian, his tone became very polite and said, “thank King Wunan for his attention, that is, Guan Ying dare not work.”
Shut down the eagle!
This time, instead of being forced to surrender, Yang Chendong really surrendered the Yang family and the five-star army. Therefore, Yang Chendong did not treat him badly. He directly appointed him as the general of pingnanming. He not only found 50000 veterans from the surrender army to be under his command, but also ordered him to be a pioneer and take the lead from Guangdong to fengtianfu in Nanming Kyoto.
After Guan Ying surrendered, he was reused. More importantly, he released a signal to the outside world that as long as he knew the time and things, he would not lose himself, or he might be reused. In this way, during the process of the army coming all the way, almost all the state capitals passed fell at the sight of the wind, and all the city capitals opened the door early to welcome the five-star army into the city Various rituals.
It was only three months since the war was officially launched in early April, 1468. The three-way army of the five-star army passed countless state capitals and finally came to meet outside Nanjing.
Along the way, the five-star army did not offend the people except leaving the army to guard the cities. Even some local gentry did not mean to do anything, as if they were allowed to exist, which also minimized the voice of resistance from all walks of life.
The people have no objection to who should be the emperor and who should rule them. The king of Wunan is also a Han. Well, even so, why do you have to fight with your own life?
As long as they can continue to do so, it makes no difference whether they call Yang Chendong the emperor or Zhu Qizhen the emperor.
Not to mention the officials, the royal guards have captured all the capable people, and the rest are people with less qualifications. They haven’t enjoyed much of the emperor’s kindness of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Why should they work hard? Now they can change their identity and become officials in the Yang Department. Everyone’s qualifications are equal. On the contrary, it has become a good thing, and fools will object?
Under the collision of several ideas, we got such a result. The five-star army approached smoothly, came to Nanming Kyoto and surrounded it quickly.
……
Kyoto Wei.
Equivalent to the emperor’s Imperial Army, it is also the most elite existence in the Nanming army.
Fan Zhong, the general who has been with Zhuqi town for more than 20 years, is now in his fifties, which seems to give people a feeling of being honest and old. But in fact, he is diligent in exercise. Even now, he can eat more than three kilograms of meat, drink half a jar of old wine, and play with the forty kilograms of broadsword.
Fan Zhong never withheld the soldiers’ food and salaries. With the relationship that he was very trusted by the emperor, he asked for a lot of benefits to the Kyoto guards, which made the atmosphere of this army quite good, and the training has not been pulled down. This has also become the only combat force of the Nanming army and one of the biggest dependencies of Zhuqi town.
But all this changed with the arrival of Wu Ben, the deputy commander.
Wu Ben came with orders and a large amount of silver. After entering the Kyoto guard, in addition to ostensibly showing respect for Fan Zhong, he took money to win over the officers in the Kyoto guard.
The attraction of silver tickets is very strong. Especially for these military men, they can’t have a lot of gray income like corrupt officials. Under Fan Zhong’s close eyes, they don’t dare to embezzle military salaries like other generals in the Nanming army. Just relying on the limited salary every month, their living standard has always been 10% low, even a little miserable.
With the bad relationship between Nanming and Yang, the price of grain began to rise greatly. In the previous months, silver was not enough to feed the family. To this end, officers at all levels were at a loss. It was at this time that Wu Ben appeared.
A large amount of silver tickets were issued from his hands, but it was unpaid help to know who was in trouble. In a very short time, he won the love of the guards in Kyoto and became the first person under Fan Zhong.
Privately, many officers and soldiers are discussing that if Wu Ben becomes their leader, it is obviously better than fan Zhongdang. It can be said that we can replace it with you just one chance away.
Fan Zhong didn’t know what happened at first. Later, some officers and soldiers loyal to him began to react to him. He knew something, but he didn’t stop it. In his opinion, it is a good thing to be able to solve the practical difficulties of officers and soldiers, and he should not stop it.
In the later stage, when Fan Zhong found that everyone looked at Wu Ben more respectfully than himself, he finally felt that things were bad. Then he ordered people to invite Wu Ben to his house and invite him to come on business grounds.
This is clearly about to start. Fan Zhong is afraid that his power will be overhead. This is about to take measures.
If it was before March, Wu Ben would naturally be afraid. But now, hehe, at least 90% of the officers in the whole Kyoto guard have received his favor. Now he is really not afraid of what Fan Zhong will do to himself.
I’m afraid I’m not afraid, but I also have to be prepared. First, I gave Mou mu the information and gave the other party a night to prepare. Then, early the next morning, Wu Ben came to fan’s house with the two “guards” who had been following closely in addition to sleeping.
As Wu Ben expected, Fan Zhong was ready to solve Wu Ben. He thought that his friendship with the emperor would really kill Wu Ben and would not do anything to himself. Therefore, he made full preparations and arranged 100 good soldiers who obeyed his orders to ambush in the house. He could do it just by waiting for his cup to fall.
At this time, Fan Zhong is still making mistakes and wants to persuade Wu Ben to withdraw from Kyoto Wei and return the new army to his own hands. I have to say that Fan Zhong is really not cruel enough, which is doomed to his tragic end and ending.
In the fan mansion, some servants had prepared wine and vegetables in advance. Fan Zhong and Wu Ben sit opposite each other, talking while eating.
At first, it was Fan Zhong. Besides, Wu Ben was listening. And most of them speak in a gentle tone. Fan Zhong also wants to try to persuade the other party to retreat in the face of difficulties. It’s best not to fight.
In order to prepare enough time for father-in-law Mou Mu’s arrangement, Wu Ben pretended to listen carefully. In this way, more than half an hour later, Fan Zhong also talked hard for a long time. All the foreshadowing was completed, and finally it was time to make a statement.
“Deputy commander Wu, you are indeed a capable person. Perhaps you are also deeply trusted by the emperor. But I still want to say that when the old minister follows the emperor, you are afraid that you are still not born. If you really poke something in front of the emperor, you will be the one who will suffer the final loss. Stop. This is a fifty thousand Liang silver note. Take it and sit well as your deputy commander, In the future, just eat, drink and have fun. “
