Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 304 The Change of Guangning
One month's salary and three days' suspension.

Hu Huang did not expect that he would receive such a punishment, but in his opinion, this was secondary. The most important thing was the court's decision.

Let Zhang Fu lead the [-] battalion and the Shenji battalion out of the capital, and the Daning and Kaiping guards each send [-] troops to assist, there is no problem.

King Zhao raised troops from Shenyang Prefecture, threatening that his eldest brother Emperor Hong Xi had been murdered by a traitor. He raised troops under the banner of Qingjun side, and quickly captured Gaizhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard, crossed the Liaohe River, and approached Guangning Guard.

If Guangning Wei is lost, then the next step is Daning. If Daning is lost...

Daning and Kaiping, these are two important towns that have invaded the grassland since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao. They are important strongholds for the Ming Dynasty to contain the grassland.

Nowadays, although the grassland has lost the strength it had during the Hongwu years, the Daning and Kaiping guards are still existences that cannot be given up.

Although Emperor Taizong personally conquered and destroyed the Tatar tribe, the Ming Dynasty was never able to make use of this piece of grassland, nor was it able to send people to permanently station it.

For the Ming Dynasty, the old Tatar lands could only be used to raise horses. If people were stationed permanently, both grain, grass, baggage and weapons and equipment would need to be sent from the Great Wall.

After a long time, this is not a small burden.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, it is impossible to lose the two guards of Daning and Kaiping.

But now, King Zhao's "Jingnan Army" is about to approach Daning Guard. At this time, there is nothing wrong with letting Zhang Fu, a veteran, take action to stabilize the situation.

Even, Hu Wei felt that Emperor Xuande was a little conservative, and the [-] army was a little small.

To put down a rebellion, it must be done with force and determination, and a single blow can determine the outcome.

What really disappointed Hu Huang was that Emperor Xuande wanted to send Liu Sheng to lead the fifth military camp south to put down the White Lotus Rebellion.

why?
The White Lotus Rebellion has been going on for more than a year. When Emperor Taizong died, Zhu Zhanhe asked Jin Ya to lead his army to Guangdong and Guangxi to quell the rebellion.

No one said anything at the time, even though Zhu Zhanhe's arrangement was considered to be out of bounds, but because the imperial court moved the capital, because the person leading the troops was Jin Ya, and because both Zhu Gaoxu and his son left Xiangzhou Mansion, everyone finally felt that it was very good.

Everyone knows that this is Zhu Zhanhe expressing his attitude, showing that he will not take advantage of the chaos to enter the Ming Dynasty, showing that he is only sharing the worries of the court, and also showing his future development direction.

But now?

Zhu Zhanji actually asked Liu Sheng to lead troops to suppress the bandits, and according to common sense, this was what the court should do.

Now that the imperial court has sent troops, what else is going on with your lineage, King Wu?
This is a clear attempt to give King Wu a big slap in the face, and he also tells you to be more honest with a righteous look.

In Hu Huang's opinion, this is really stupid.

King Zhao's rebellion was nothing. After all, the troops were raised in Shenyang Mansion. Even if there was a response, there were not many people in the Jianzhou Guard area where Zhang Fu and Li Bin had wreaked havoc.

But the lineage of King Wu is different.

Although his younger brother didn't say anything to him, Hu Huang knew that compared with the Ming Dynasty, the place governed by King Wu's lineage was really a world away.

……

Xiangzhou Prefecture.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's name was on it, and Xiangzhou Prefecture and Nanzhou Prefecture (India) had very frequent business exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, so it was not too late when Zhu Zhanqi got the news.

As soon as he got the news, Zhu Zhanqi went to find his father with the secret letter.

However, his father had a calm expression and said "You can make the decision yourself" as if he didn't care.

That night.

Zhu Zhanqi was sitting in his bedroom, frowning.

He knew what his father meant. He just wanted to train himself, but this also showed from the side that this matter was not very important.

At the very least, it will not threaten the existence and status of my family in the short term.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Zhu Zhanqi's thoughts, and when he looked up, a beautiful figure was standing at the door.

"Your Highness, would you like to have dinner first?" Mu Qin stood at the door, followed by two maids.

"Huh..." Zhu Zhanqi let out a long breath of relief.

"come in."

As he spoke, he put away all the memorials on the desk.

In this regard, Zhu Zhanqi has always been very disciplined.

Although he holds great power now, and it can be said that the entire Indochina Peninsula and the affairs of the Delhi Sultan have to go through him, Zhu Zhanqi has never been arrogant.

He knew very well that this was an opportunity given to him by his father and elder brother. Although this opportunity was for most of the territories under the jurisdiction of King Wu, it did not mean that these territories were his.

Therefore, even his personal bodyguard, and even Mu Qin, who was destined to be his wife, never saw a word about him.

"Your Highness..." Mu Qin placed all the food on the table, waved her hand to dismiss the maid, and then spoke.

"Are you worried about suppressing the White Lotus Sect?"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanqi frowned.

This was the first time that Mu Qin involved business matters when talking to him.

……

Syr Darya.

Zhu Zhanhe stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the towering mountains in the east, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Highness..." Mu Ang slowly walked out of the camp.

After receiving the news that Zhu Zhanhe suddenly retreated from Astrakhan, Mu Ang quickly set out from the Suez area and came to the banks of the Sher River where Zhu Zhanhe was currently stationed.

It's just that Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect, and he didn't expect, that when he just arrived at the bank of the Syr Darya, he received the news from Xiangzhou Mansion.

Emperor Hongxi passed away!

At this point, Mu Ang also suddenly understood why Zhu Zhanhe gave up the Astrakhan he had already obtained, and turned back to the Syr Darya.

Where is the Syr Darya River?
This river originates from the Tianshan Mountains and eventually flows into the Aral Sea from east to west. The place where Zhu Zhanhe is currently stationed is under the last tail of the Tianshan Mountains.

As long as Zhu Zhanhe thought, he could go directly to Lake Balkhash along the edge of the Moinkum Desert between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kazakh Hills, that is, Tashkent.

Lake Balkhash is a special existence, because it is in the south of the Kazakh hills, and this lake has a very special and special characteristic.

Although this lake is one piece, the eastern half is salt water and the western half is fresh water.

It is an integrated lake, but with salt water on one side and fresh water on the other. This is mainly because the Ili River injects from the west side of Balkhash Lake, and the injection volume on the west side is greater than the evaporation, which forms this peculiar phenomenon.

However, the focus is not on Lake Balkhash, which is half salt water and half fresh water, but...

Ili River.

You can directly enter the Junggar Basin along the ancient waterway on the north side of Balkhash Lake, and you can directly enter the Ili Basin along the Ili River from the south side.

This is the reason why Zhu Zhanhe appears here.

However, I understand it, but Mu Ang still feels a little emotional.

"does it worth?"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled slightly. This was the second time he heard this question, and the last time he heard it was from Jian Xiao's mouth.

Without answering Mu Ang, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and returned to the camp.

In this world, everything is fixed, but everything is also variable.

For Zhu Zhanhe, there are indeed variables, but it should be his, he can't run away, it shouldn't be his, and he is not interested.

The Central Plains really fell out of his sight a long time ago.

……

Guangning Zuotunwei.

After moving the capital to Shuntian, this advantage allowed the court to respond quickly to the war in the north and send troops as quickly as possible.

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Fu looked at the map in front of him and had a headache.

If it were an ordinary war, that would be fine. As the most experienced veteran of the Ming Dynasty, and the one who controls the situation, Zhang Fu has many methods.

But the problem is that the enemy he has to face is King Zhao, Zhu Gaosui.

The current Zhang Fu... no, it should be said that the current Zhu Zhanji is facing the same problem as Zhu Yunwen.

Are you going to capture Zhu Gaosui alive?
Regardless of whether they want to be captured alive, it is obviously not Zhang Fu's decision to make the decision, because once something goes wrong, people like Zhang Fu will be the first to be dragged out to take the blame.

The current Zhang Fu is no better than he was during the Yongle period, nor is he better than he was during the Zhengtong period in history.

The Ming Dynasty is now in a fog. Where will it go in the future?No one dares to jump to conclusions.

During this period of time when the situation has not been finalized, everything you do will most likely be a crime in the future, but you must make a decision, because if you don't make a decision, then you will offend everyone.

In the end, no matter who controls the court, you will not get any favors.

"Come on!"

After much thought, Zhang Fu made a decision.

The current situation in Ming Dynasty is very confusing, and it is difficult to choose which side to take, but one thing is very clear.

That is, no matter what, the final winner will not be Zhu Gaosui, King Zhao.

Today, His Majesty can do it, and the lineage of King Wu can do it, but King Zhao...has no chance of winning.

The next day, at Sishi, Dalinghe Fort.

Looking at the "rebels" on the other side of the river, Zhang Fu was more or less emotional, because it was not easy for Zhu Gaosui to gather so many people in such a short period of time, and in a place like Shenyang Wei.

However, none of this worked.

Zhang Fu beckoned, and a messenger led ten guards, rode quickly across the small tributary of the Shuangtaizi River, and stopped after reaching the opposite bank.

Zhu Gaosui's face was gloomy, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Fu's gourd.

Soon, after crossing the river, the messenger pulled out a long wooden box from his arms, and opened it respectfully, revealing the bright yellow scroll inside.

Decree...

"Emperor Taizong's edict is here!"

Zhu Gaosui was still a little dazed, but the soldiers led by Zhang Fu had all dismounted and knelt on one knee.

Until then, no matter how dull Zhu Gaosui was, he knew something was wrong, but as soon as the six words of Emperor Taizong's last edict came out, he could not move.

Once it moves, nothing is left.

It's useless to ask for peace from heaven or to clear the emperor's side!You dare not even listen to your father's last edict, and you will lose the name of raising an army.

"In a hundred years from now, if the Ming Dynasty is in danger, or if there are no honest ministers in the court, King Wu can raise an army to attack it to clear away the evil on the side of the king!"

Zhu Gaosui suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

That's right, the first emperor Hongxi didn't let anyone read it out, and no one knew that Emperor Taizong had such a will.

What was even more unexpected was that Zhu Zhanji actually took it out.

why?
Zhu Gaosui didn't understand. He didn't understand, not only why his father trusted his second child so much, but also why his eldest nephew showed it at this time.

Your father didn't take it out, but you did. Are you going to slap your father in the face?
Also, aren't you afraid that after this edict is made public, Zhu Zhanhe, who is not even a little bit stronger than you now, will rise up to seize the throne?
