Chapter 144 The Kings of Jingbian!

Chapter 144 The Kings of Jingbian!
Although the large-scale Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty has stopped for eight years.

However, on the side of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, the war games have never stopped.

Whether it is from Daning, from Liaodong, or from Xifengkou, Taiyuan, Datong, Pingliang and other places to send troops to the Northern Expedition, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion has done it all.

Now they just need to take out the Northern Expedition plan they made before, modify it, choose a set that is most suitable for the current situation, and submit it to Emperor Hongwu.

It's not difficult.

After Yingtian Mansion's central center determined the grand strategy of the Northern Expedition in the coming year, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion prepared to notify King Sai to prepare the army for war.

Cyprus.

It is the vassal king established by Emperor Hongwu to guard the frontier fortress and expand the territory under the thought of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians!

The so-called king of Sai came out of the town, that is, the king of Sai was entrusted with a certain place, responsible for the township and conquest in the area, and supervised the local military administration on behalf of the imperial court.

This kind of enfeoffment is not a real enfeoffment, it is enfeoffment but not governance, and it only takes the "meaning of feudalism".

The main responsibility lies in military garrison.

To put it simply, it means only governing the army, not the people!
All the kings of the fortress must not be too dangerous, control the fortress, and be accompanied by the veteran general of the Yuan Rong, who has the power to control the order, and the powerful army, clear the desert, and look at each other with tents!

At least in the year of Hongwu, the effect of the kings' Jingbian was still very good.

The northern barbarians would go south to harass the border many times a year, but they were all blocked by the kings of the princes, and they were beaten back.

Since the 11th year of Hongwu, after the kings successively sealed off the frontiers, it is very difficult for the northern barbarians to step on the Great Wall and go south to plunder.

Starting from the Yalu River in the east and reaching Jiayuguan in the west, on the northern border defense line stretching thousands of miles, Emperor Hongwu set up nine important border defense towns and sealed thirteen kings of Sai.

All the kings of Sai, who were facing the front of the northern barbarians, led the army to fight against the northern barbarians.

So if Daming wanted to make a northern expedition, he would definitely notify the King of Nine Frontiers in advance.

Although in the past three to five years, Emperor Hongwu has repeatedly reduced the powers of the "standing army" and guards of the kings of Sai.

But when a war is about to happen, these kings of Sai will still get the united front power granted by the central government to command and command the frontier troops.

No way, these princes guarding the frontier fortress are really good at fighting.

King Jin, King Yan, King Qi, and King Qin who was poisoned to death at the beginning of this year are all good fighters.

After the founding generals in the center have almost withered, the most capable generals in Ming Dynasty now, except for Peng Polu and a few second-generation Xun, are these kings of Sai.

Emperor Hongwu conferred a total of thirteen Sai kings to the Nine Sides, but four of them had not yet entered the feudal domain, so there were actually only nine Sai kings.

However, most of the five kings of Dai, Su, Liao, Qing, and Ning came to the feudal domain in Hongwu 25 to 26, and they did not have enough experience in leading the army.

Only the four kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Qi had truly experienced the Northern Expedition and commanded and won many major battles.

King Qin passed away again at the beginning of the year.

So in fact, only the three kings of Jin, Yan, and Qi can be worthy of the great responsibility in this Northern Expedition!

The battle plan formulated by the Protectorate of the Five Armies is also based on the three kings, King Sai, and the generals supported by the central government.

In particular, King Jin, who is closest to the Hetao area, has to bear the most important responsibility!
After it was determined that the Northern Expedition would recover Hetao in the coming year, with the consent of Emperor Hongwu, an important military telegram was sent to the mansions of Jin, Yan, Qi and Liao kings through the military telegraph line.

Taiyuan Shanxi.

Jin Wangfu.

The 38-year-old King Jin of the Ming Dynasty was having lunch with the concubine at this time.

In the huge hall, apart from the princess, there was no figure of any servant.

With trembling hands, the princess picked up a piece of duck breast and handed it into King Jin's bowl, asking with a trembling voice, "My lord, are you satisfied with today's lunch?"

King Jin raised his eyes, glanced at the nervous princess, and said in a very dull tone: "Princess, Gu is your husband, and this is how wives serve their husbands?"

The concubine's hands trembled even more, and a few tears dripped from the sockets of her eyes onto the table.

King Jin frowned, snorted coldly, stopped eating, stood up and walked out.

"Come here, send the princess back to the backyard to rest. Without my order, no one is allowed to touch the princess!"

With a wave of his sleeves, King Jin walked out of the dining room very dissatisfied.

In the past two years, such occasions where couples get along in private have happened frequently.

Every time Jin Wang tried to repair the relationship between husband and wife, the princess always had such an attitude, which made Jin Wang very annoyed.

His patience was almost worn out.

"Here." The eunuch, who had been standing respectfully outside the dining room, responded with a charming smile and waved his hand.

The two young eunuchs walked into the dining room respectfully, ready to take the princess away.

The concubine, who was ordered to "ground her feet", had a relieved expression on her face, and did not make any intercession, stood up and walked away from King Jin as if fleeing.

Seeing the concubine's attitude, King Jin's expression became even more embarrassing.

"Fool!"

The concubine of King Jin is the daughter of Xie Cheng, Marquis of Yongping.

And two years ago, after the blue jade case that caused a sensation in Ming Dynasty broke out, King Jin was in charge of the aftermath.

At that time, all the princes were in Shanxi, including King Jin's father-in-law Yongpinghou Xie Cheng, the sons and daughters of Jin King's relatives, and Jin Shizi's father-in-law Ying Guogong Fu Youde, all in Shanxi.

After the incident, Emperor Hongwu issued verbal and secret decrees to the King of Jin many times, asking the King of Jin to take over the military power in the hands of the princes.

He also ordered the King of Jin to "Ling Chi", "abandoned", "chopped up" and "chopped up all adult males" in the local area.

Even afraid that the king of Jin would not know how to do it, he still taught the king of Jin how to operate it in the secret decree.

For example, we must first stabilize the opponent, not let him know, say that he will not kill him, but just return to the capital, and then transfer the Hou Yemen to Tianfu first.

On the back foot, the King of Jin captured the whole family of Hou, Bo, Dudu, and Commander, and killed them on the spot.

Even before these Hou Bos returned to Beijing, the family members who stayed in Shanxi had already been executed on the spot by King Jin.

It can be said that Emperor Hongwu dared to deal directly with the prince who committed crimes in Shanxi. The greatest confidence was that King Jin was in Taiyuan!
King Jin was the one who supported Emperor Hongwu in the whole Lanyu case.

Not only did he control the military power at the hands of these nobles who were leading the army, but he also killed them immediately after sending them back to Tianfu from the army, and almost wiped out the family members of these nobles who were involved in the Lanyu case.

If there was no King Jin, then these heroes and heroes who were away with a large army would not have been disposed of by Emperor Hongwu so easily.

Not even a single one who rose up to resist!
All because of King Jin's presence, the possibility of them raising troops was directly suppressed!
King Jin did a really good job, satisfactorily eliminated a matter that might have set off a large-scale rebellion of nobles, and even made the "Sapphire Case" go smoothly.

But for Princess Jin.

King Jin is the executioner who killed her family!

Princess Jin's father was tricked back to Beijing by King Jin.

And the brothers and sisters of Princess Jin were even executed by King Jin himself!
If the relationship between husband and wife does not break down.

Then I really saw a ghost!
