The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 620 Huguang Rebellion
When the people sent by He Tengjiao left, Meng Zhengfa couldn't help but feel more and more angry.

Meng Zepeng is his favorite eldest son. Although Na Xin is only a concubine, she has been serving him since the death of his wife.Now he even abandoned these two people just to help Huguang seize power, but he didn't expect that He Tengjiao would retreat first...

Meng Zhengfa wandered alone on the deck for a long time, tortured by various emotions such as fear, loss, unwillingness and so on.

After some time, he finally stood still at the bow of the boat, stared at the sea with bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth and whispered: "He Dutang, since you are on this thief boat, don't even try to get off easily! For my sake Little Ming, in order to have a chance to save Peng'er, if I can't say I'm going to be an official, I have to add fire to you!"

He had made up his mind, so he recruited several of his confidants to give them careful instructions.At night, two small boats were quietly lowered from the warships of the Huguang Navy, one crossed the Jiujiang River and entered the Huguang border, and the other sailed down the river and headed south to Zhili.

……

The Yaqian Hall of Yingtian Mansion.

Eleven cabinet members, including Huang Daozhou, Yang Tinglin, and Lu Zhenfei, are on the left side, while Song Yingxing, Xu Erlu, Zeng Jian and other auxiliary princes, as well as military officers such as Zhen Zhen and Zhang Jiayu are on the right side. .

Both sides looked dignified and were engaged in a heated debate.

"Your Highness, although He Tengjiao has the heart of a vassal, he is still a wise minister in the final analysis." Zhu Jizuo said, "I think that it is not appropriate to use swords and weapons when you know the truth. When there is civil strife, the Eastern Captives will take advantage of the situation to attack..."

"Zhu Gebu's statement is wrong!" Zhang Jiayu immediately interrupted him, "I think Cao Cao was also a Han official, so what should he do? He took the emperor to dominate the world, not only harmed Zhongliang, but even the emperor, empress and prince could not escape his murderous hands. His son Pi became self-reliant in the end of the Han Dynasty.

"How is the current situation similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty?! If the thieves are not killed by means of thunder, all the powerful people in the world will think that the ruler who holds the emperor will rule the world, and the land of the Ming Dynasty will be full of wars. Is Zhuge's department willing to see the world fall into the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms?!"

"Zhang Shilang is too alarmist. How can He Tengjiao have the guts in a corner of Huguang?"

"Master Guo, he even dared to kidnap the emperor, what else would he not dare to do? What's more, there are Jian captives behind this matter, who knows if they still have plots?"

Lu Zhenfei shook his head and separated the people on both sides, then bowed to Zhu Lin and said: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, I think it is better to hold a court meeting tomorrow and discuss it carefully with all the ministers."

Zhu Linmei said in a deep voice: "The core important officials of the imperial court are all here, why waste time listening to them talk nonsense at the court meeting?"

He looked at Zhu Jizuo again, "Zhu Gebu, you are right. Right now, the first priority is the safety of the emperor, and the second is not to cause a civil war in Ming Dynasty. But what is more deadly than a civil war is a long-lasting civil war!"

He pointed out the window, "It's just the people in the room. Before it gets dark today, we must come up with the regulations to solve the robbery of the emperor!"

"Your Highness, but this..."

As soon as Lu Zhenfei said a few words, he saw Ma Wensheng, the eunuch of the royal residence, trotting all the way to deliver an urgent report to Zhu Linming.

The latter opened it up and read it quickly, then returned it to Eunuch Ma, and pointed at the officials in the hall, "Read."

"Yes." Ma Wensheng turned around and said loudly, "He Tengjiao brought the emperor into Chu, pretended that Wuchang was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself the chief assistant, grand master, doctor Guanglu, and Shang Guozhu..."

All the ministers' hearts sank when they heard the words.The Chief Assistant and Grand Master are already the highest official positions for non-clan ministers, and "Shang Guozhu" is the highest honorary title, just like Chang Yuchun, Zhang Juzheng and other people who have made great contributions, they only received this title after their death.And He Tengjiao's move is obviously to try his best to raise his social status, and what he intends to do is already obvious.

When Ma Wensheng saw the following lines, he couldn't help swallowing hard, his voice was a little trembling, "Jiao and the so-called 'eight deadly crimes' such as 'authorization', 'bullying', 'reckless killing', etc. , pretending to show the world 'to beg the king'."

The eunuch wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and continued to read: "Recently, Huguang soldiers and horses have been mobilized frequently, and the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Youchangsha have begun to move northward, and they seem to be joining forces in Wuchang..."

Now all the people present were in an uproar, none of them expected He Tengjiao, who seemed to have no courage, to be so fierce, holding the emperor in his hand, and immediately wanted to raise the flag to rebel!

Zhu Linming also sighed heavily in her heart.In the history of Nanming, due to frequent internal strife, the strength was greatly consumed by his own people, so that Jianlu took advantage of the fisherman.Therefore, he has been doing everything possible to avoid the Ming Dynasty's infighting, but unexpectedly, He Tengjiao was still dazzled by power and decided to take risks.

In fact, if the He family is really capable, Zhu Linmi is even willing to compromise with him, so as to prevent the Han people from killing each other, and defeat the foreign enemies first.But he knew very well that He Tengjiao was just an idiot in history, and he was extremely selfish, so he couldn't achieve great things at all.

During the Yongli Dynasty, the He family held an army of more than 3, but was quickly defeated by Kong Youde's [-] troops, retreated into Guangxi, and was captured the following year. hand.You know, there is still the Loyalty Camp to help him hold the scene, otherwise the defeat will be faster.

With such a thing, how could Zhu Linmei entrust Daming's future to him?In addition, since Huguang has issued its so-called "eight deadly crimes", it means that He Tengjiao has no intention of letting himself live.

It seems that there is only one road ahead.

He looked at the ministers, a cold light flashed in his eyes.Since it is necessary to fight, then solve the problem as quickly as possible, and put down the Huguang Rebellion before the civil war has caused too much damage to Daming!

"It seems that there is no need to discuss any more." He said in an unquestionable voice, "He Tengjiao imprisoned the emperor, colluded with the captives, and raised troops to cause chaos. Immediately send an order to the world to suppress the traitors!"

Zhu Jizuo and other courtiers who had fantasies about He Tengjiao just now were all dumb at this moment, they looked at each other, and had to bow together with the "main combat faction" and said: "Your official obeys!"

……

In Wuchang Governor's Mansion, He Tengjiao was both shocked and angry.His dream all the time is nothing more than the side of Shizhen, earning a ten thousand years of glory and wealth for his descendants.At first Meng Zhengfa said that he would threaten the emperor to enter Chu, but he was also fascinated for a while, and he thought of using the little emperor to bargain with the court, so he let Mengshi do things.

Unexpectedly, the emperor hadn't arrived in Huguang yet, rumors that he "proclaimed himself chief assistant, grand master, and even Shang Guozhu" were widely spread everywhere, and some people with ulterior motives committed Zhu Linmi's "eight deadly crimes" in his name.

Surprised, he hurriedly wrote to various places in Huguang to clarify the rumors.As a result, these officials under his command thought that they were trying to test the public opinion, so some immediately persuaded them to advance, some criticized Zhu Lin, and some expressed their loyalty to the war with Nanjing, but no one believed their innocence.

Even the magistrate of Wuchang Mansion came to persuade him not to be an enemy of Zhu Linmi, but he was stabbed to death in his own home the next day!
　Today I saw several book friends asking me if my surname is Wang.

　　Isn't this a joke? !Of course my surname is not Wang!If my surname is Wang, wouldn’t the promises I made to you before be meaningless?Am I the kind of person whose words don't count?
　　I believe you will definitely say no!Because you know very well, I am a person who keeps my promises!Since it is said that the hero will become emperor within this week, he will definitely become emperor!

　　By the way, my surname is Tian.
