Chapter seven hundred and twenty-one: Royal driving and personal expedition

Capital.

It was snowing heavily in the sky.

An eunuch quickly arrived at a side hall in the Forbidden City, attached himself to Xiao Jing's ear and whispered.

Xiao Jing was scared to pee.

He looked miserable and grabbed the little eunuch's clothes: "Take it serious?"

"Be serious..." the little eunuch was about to cry.

Xiao Jing's soul was not possessed and almost cried.

He hesitated for a while, and finally... he rushed to the warm room.

In the warm pavilion, there was anthracite, and now Emperor Hongzhi also had a mine, so the earth dragons in the warm pavilion were willing to burn it. Therefore, the charcoal fire burned in the walls of the warm pavilion was emitted into the warm pavilion, and the entire warm pavilion was hot.

Liu Jian and others were kneeling, while British Duke Zhang Mao was extremely excited.

He opened the map and chatted in front of His Majesty, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Sheng and others: "Once King Ning rebelled, he would have to go down the river and achieve a situation of landing the river. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to go north. I also heard that he had bought the thieves of Poyang Lake, and these thieves could be the backbone of his passing river to take over Nanjing. If he wanted to attack Nanjing, his primary goal was Jiujiang, Your Majesty, Jiujiang has been slackened over the years, and the nearby garrisons were almost old, weak, sick and disabled. If King Ning rebelled at this time, I am afraid that Jiujiang would fall into the hands of Jiujiang in a blink of an eye."

He paused: "Therefore, the place where the decisive battle with King Ning must not be in Jiujiang. Anqing is the most suitable one. This place is surrounded by Zhongdu. Therefore, a large number of troops and horses were stationed, and the city was also very tall. The order should be issued immediately and people should be ordered to use iron ropes to cross the river and set up defense lines in this area to prevent King Ning from advancing east."

Emperor Hongzhi and others kept nodding.

Zhang Mao is indeed a person with unique vision. He seems to be aware of every military horse stationed in the Ming Dynasty, every defense of the city, and the terrain everywhere. Therefore, he can be said to be very knowledgeable.

"As for Jiangxi, it was operated by King Ning, and the areas in northern Jiangxi and western Jiangxi were their base camps, especially Yichun, Shanggao, Gao'an and other places, which have been influenced by King Ning. Therefore, in order to restrain King Ning from advancing eastward, it is necessary to send imperial envoys in central Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi, with Ji'an Prefecture as the center, and send imperial envoys to recruit rebel troops, and there is no need to make them attack. Just let them stare at Nanchang, which is enough to make King Ning dare not attack Anqing with all his strength."

"With these two moves, King Ning cannot take Anqing with all his might, and is also afraid of being attacked by Ji'an from both sides. As long as he is still trapped in northern Jiangxi and does nothing, when our court sends a large army to the northern Jiangxi area, King Ning will naturally defeat him without attacking."

Then Xie Qian couldn't help but say, "Duke of England, but if King Ning did not take Anqing and Nanjing, he would attack southern Jiangxi."

Zhang Mao laughed happily: "This, Mr. Xie doesn't know. Jiangxi is the place of four battles. The north is Jiang. In western Ganzhou, the mountains are undulating, and in eastern Ganzhou are also continuous. In southern Ganzhou, he is even more continuous. In addition to going down the river and taking Nanjing, he will destroy himself no matter which way he goes. How much power can he recruit? How can he waste his power in the continuous mountains and rivers? This is seeking death. If he goes south, the court only needs thousands of people to guard the passes everywhere, so he will teach him that he will not escape and die without a place to die. This marching and war is not enough to speak to the map. You have to study mountains, rivers and rivers well. Let's say that, Mr. Xie has heard that all dynasties have originated in Jiangxi and won the world?"

Everyone was silent, and it made sense.

Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Therefore, King Ning should not be afraid. The key to dealing with them is Anqing. If Anqing is a literary stone, King Ning will be a turtle in the jar. Your Majesty gave me 100,000 elite soldiers. Within eight months, I will behead the head of King Ning at the city of Nanchang."

Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved after hearing Zhang Mao's analysis and smiled and said, "Zhang Qing's family is the opinion of the country. After hearing this, I feel relieved. It is indeed worthy of being the descendant of the King of Hejian.

King of Hejian was a posthumous title of Zhang Yu, the ancestor of Zhang Mao.

When Zhang Mao heard the three words "Hejian King", he immediately thought of his ancestors, and his eyes turned red. He bowed: "After becoming a famous general, the old minister had been mediocre all his life. He had long been effective in establishing great contributions to the court, repaying the emperor's kindness and servitude to the people. In this way, he would not humiliate his ancestors and be ridiculed. Your Majesty has entrusted important tasks, so how could the old minister have no intention of fulfilling his heart."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded repeatedly: "I feel comforted by listening to you all,"

But at this moment, Xiao Jing came.

Xiao Jing kept winking at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Parent Xiao, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jing wanted to cry and fell to the ground: "I will die."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again: "You say it bluntly."

Xiao Jing cried and said, "Your Majesty...I'm going to be...I've just received the news. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I'm missing..."

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "I don't know where to go again."

Xiao Jing shook his head: "According to the Dongchang investigation, we found out that he had gone... to Nanchang Prefecture. There was a man named Zhu Shou staying in a hotel at the inn along the way. His appearance and temperament were just like His Highness. Not only that, His Highness also brought three or four entourages, and it is said that... he was going to take down King Ning's head with his own hands..."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Damn it.

With three or four people, he went to Nanchang Prefecture.

I also have to kill King Ning.

Who did he think he was?

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly arose: "This little beast!"

Liu Jian, Zhang Mao and others were also shocked and bowed: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Where is he going to piss me to death?" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Where is Fang Jifan?"

"Fang Jifan... did not go with the prince, but the next day, he went south anxiously. I was guessing that it must be that Wei Fang knew something and wanted to recover His Highness the Prince. But there is no news yet, and I guess again, I think... I think, he found His Highness the Prince..."

"What then?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

"I found His Highness the Crown Prince, and I should go to Nanchang Mansion with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Hongzhi was about to faint, and clenched his fist hard, and his hand hit the imperial case: "What you said just now is that Fang Jifan went to chase the prince."

Xiao Jing shivered: "But looking for it..."

"Enough!" Emperor Hongzhi was convinced, completely convinced.

If you don’t fight for three days, you will be able to lift the tiles on the house.

After finally feeling that this kid is promising, he made this move again. He said angrily: "Do you know about Renshou Palace, Kunning Palace, Princess' Mansion?"

"No, I don't know, I dare not say it."

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Then don't say a word, I will never forgive you if I am so angry."

Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi with sympathy.

Your Majesty himself was about to be angry, but as a result... he was still thinking about the Empress Dowager. Empress Zhang and His Highness the Princess were angry to death. It was so... so miserable.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Mao said: "It's urgent. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I'm afraid there's a lot of danger. Now, most of the money and food have been dispatched. The old minister will lead his troops and head straight to Nanchang Prefecture. While ordering people to search for the crown prince and the prince-consort everywhere."

At this time, I can only do this.

Everyone ran away from the vast crowd, where can I find someone?

The only way is to suppress the rebellion immediately and never delay it.

Emperor Hongzhi touched his forehead and paced back and forth anxiously: "My parents are here and not traveling far away. Isn't anyone telling this little beast? This little beast will be dead. If he is alive, I will not beat him to death."

Emperor Hongzhi was about to faint, and suddenly tears fell: "My son, I gave birth to you, why did you do this? What evil did I do? Why did I do this?"

Liu Jian and others were frightened and were frightened: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the auspicious person will have a heavenly appearance."

Emperor Hongzhi was heartbroken: "At the time, he was holding my hand wherever he walked. I was reviewing the memorials. He sat on my knees and stuck to me. He disappeared for a while and was about to cry loudly. The thick light used to be, but now he hates me so much, and wishes he could get to the horizon."

"Your Majesty..." Everyone burst into tears: "Your Majesty should think of a solution first."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a state of dismay: "Let's find a way? Yes, it's time to find a way, this little beast, this little beast..." Emperor Hongzhi's lips trembled, cursed four times in a row, then raised his eyes and said sternly: "People's quest, the emperor personally!"

"What?"

Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi in a daze.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be firm: "Now that King Ning rebelled, if I do not personally quell the rebellion, I will be ashamed of my ancestors. Emperor Taizu Gao has always charged in person. When Emperor Wen was there, he also personally reviewed the three armies and went out to pacify the thieves. Even the ancestors of Xuanzong and the three armies were personally inspected. Since the ascension, the world has been generally peaceful, and the rebellion of King Ning is of great importance and must be pacified as soon as possible. I personally commanded the army to inspire the three armies and make the soldiers brave. My intention has been decided, and no one can persuade me again. Duke Zhang Mao of the British, you are the vanguard, I will lead the capital camp and immediately arrive and pass the order."

"Your Majesty...you must not..." Liu Jian wanted to persuade him.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian meaningfully: "If it were the son of Qing family, he would also be missing, can it be said that it would be absolutely impossible?"

Liu Jian was silent.

However, at this time, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, was anxious. He was the Minister of Rites, so how could His Majesty personally seek? In terms of etiquette...

"Your Majesty, if your ministers are missing, I should put family and country first and never act willful." Zhang Shengzhen said with a word.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down.

Xiao Jingze glanced at Zhang Sheng and suddenly remembered something: "I remember, it seems... one of the few entourages brought by His Majesty... was named Zhang Yuanxi, Zhang Gong, what does this person have to do with you?"

"..." Zhang Sheng was stunned, then he slammed and collapsed on the ground, murmured: "Eunuch Xiao, don't joke. My son has a leg disease. How could he... go to Nanchang? This...haha, it's so ridiculous."
