Chapter 398: War of Words


On the south bank of the Yangtze River, a large ship drum tent sailed towards the north bank, and at the bow stood a woman dressed in a silver silk and jade jacket.

She is the county lord of Qingcheng, the fourth daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang's cousin, older than Zhu Di, Zhu Di has always had a good relationship with the fourth sister's family when he was in Beijing, seeing that the army of King Yan has arrived on the north bank, once the ships are raised, they will cross the river, and the division of the king of Qin has not yet arrived, Zhu Yunwen will follow what Fang Xiaoru said, and ask his fourth aunt to come forward to negotiate peace in order to slow down the enemy army.

The county lord of Qingcheng is just a woman's family, when Zhu Yuanzhang has not won the world, she is already an adult girl, so there is no opportunity to read and write, although you are the county lord, in fact, she is just a simple peasant girl, this military event "Don't be afraid, the emperor said, this matter is just a little dispute between my uncle and nephew, let me go to Xiao Si'er to tell him and make peace, the family is over, how can there be a tongue that does not touch the teeth, in the end it is the flesh and blood, Xiao Si'er is committed again, and now he has led the troops to fight here, and this breath should also come out." , I persuaded him to go back to his house in Beiping, the family is still harmonious and happy, how good it would be" When the county lord of Qingcheng thought of this, his brain became active, and he began to think about how to talk about what to do when he saw her fourth brother.

In the capital, Zhu Yunwen on the Jinluan Palace said anxiously: "Mei Yin, he has 400,000 troops, and he is close to Yan Yi, which is my biggest dependence, why haven't I seen any action so far?"

Fang Xiaoru said: "Mei Yuma thinks that he still doesn't know that Yan rebelled against the army to the Yangtze River, so" "Nonsense" Zhu Yunwen was furious: "Did I ask him to go to Huaishang to see the scenery, I gave him 400,000 troops, wasn't it just to block the Yan army from going south, did he have 400,000 troops, and he shrank in the barracks all the time, and didn't know anything about foreign affairs, Suzhou prefect, Ningbo prefect, Huizhou prefect, Leping Zhixian and other loyal ministers have led troops to Qinwang, and when Yan Wang went south, more than 100,000 troops passed under Huai'an City, he wouldn't know?"

In a hurry, Zhu Yunwen couldn't care about the courtesy of the other party's filial piety, and scolded him for talking nonsense, but he didn't realize that his tone was very different from usual.

Fang Xiaoru said nemesly: "Or perhaps, Mei Yuma is worried that he will be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he wants to hold on to the city."

After four years of fighting, the idiot will also understand a little military truth, no matter how stupid Zhu Yunwen is, he can't accept such a naïve reason, he said angrily: "What does he want to hold onto, if I am gone, if my country is gone, what is the use of Yan Wei to hold Huai'an, he has crossed the Huai'an army to the Yangtze River, he has an army of 400,000, is it not a horse to move so many troops, countless refugees have fled, even Suzhou, Ningbo, Huizhou, Leping's Qinwang division heard the news and rushed to the capital, He's still in Huai'an, doesn't he know anything, he's a dead man?"

Zhu Yunwen's cheeks twitched suddenly, he nervously grabbed Fang Xiaoru's hand, and asked a little nervously: "Mr.

Xizhi, is it that Mei Yin also surrendered?"

Fang Xiaoru hurriedly said: "Mei Suma is a loyal minister, how can he lose the emperor, the emperor doesn't have to worry, maybe Mei Suma has already waved his army to take the back road of the Yan army at this time, don't worry about it."

Fang Xiaoru said and glanced at Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Yes, no matter what Mei Yin is for, don't mention it at this time."

The civil and military officials have panicked, Mei Yin's 400,000 elite soldiers are the key to fighting against the Yan King, the Yan King crossed the Huai'an army to the Yangtze River, if Mei Yin waved the army of 400,000 out of the city, from behind him to attack, not only can relieve the siege of Nanjing, maybe this kind of hard confrontation, but also the Yan army that fought against the water can be annihilated, this is the hope of Nanjing City, can not mess with the army's heart.

Zhu Yunwen silently let go of his hand, glanced at the civil and military forces, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, the northern army has many cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and swift as lightning."

Mei Juma didn't know that the northern army had reached the Yangtze River, and I issued a holy decree again, ordering Mei Juma to send troops immediately after receiving the order, take the enemy's rear road, and contain the northern army to the south.

In the Yan army camp, the county lord of Qingcheng saw Zhu Di.

Since Zhu Di became a feudal lord in Beiping in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the two have not met again, and now more than 20 years have passed, the original heroic young man has become a middle-aged man, and he has changed from a young woman with charm to a blessed old woman, old.

Especially Zhu Di, in the past few years, he has had a stroke and slept in the open, sometimes for a few days, and he has been in countless battles in the past few years, so that his face is full of wind and frost, but his temples are gray in the prime of life, and it is uncomfortable to look at.

"Little Four" The county lord of Qingcheng was soft-hearted, and when Xiao Si'er shouted out, tears came down.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little emotional when he saw the fourth sister who often held hands and led him to the street to play when he was a child, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the hand of the county lord of Qingcheng, and said sentimentally: "Fourth sister, you are old." ” "Yes, yes, the little fourth child of the year has gray hair now, and we are all old."

The sister and brother held hands and looked at each other, embarrassed.

Zhu Di let the county lord of Qingcheng into the big tent, set up a banquet and entertained him, after a short period of family life, the county lord of Qingcheng turned the topic around to the main thing, she first talked about it with the words of her closest relatives, and then said: "Little Si'er, this is all the housework of our Zhu family, do you need to use knives and guns, no matter what you say, the emperor is your own nephew, you have to let him be an uncle."

Zhu Di is not completely sure that he must have crossed the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is not easy to cross, the imperial court still has a water division, and his northern army is not good at water warfare.

Behind him, Mei Yin, a horse with 400,000 troops, didn't know what his considerations were, as if he didn't know that he was approaching the Yangtze River, and he had been standing still, but if Mei Yin suddenly sent troops and came with 400,000 people, his cavalry could not indulge in galloping in this water town south of the Yangtze River.

Later, He Fu, who was thrown off by him, and Tie Xuan of Jinan are also dispatching troops, once they cut off the back road and cut off the supplies, the consequences are even more unimaginable, so he knows that he can't stay here for a long time, if he can't take Jinling quickly, the final result is to return to Beiping as soon as possible, he knows that the fourth sister must have been sent by the imperial court here, trying to "negotiate peace", but in fact, he delayed the army, so he had already thought about it.

As soon as the county lord of Qingcheng finished speaking, Zhu Di said solemnly: "Fourth sister, my father's imperial mausoleum has not been done, and my brothers have been frequently destroyed, and the cruelty of harming others is not bad, this is our Zhu family's housework, but this business is bewitched by outsiders, and it is bloody, the emperor listens to the words of the slanderous ministers, and his heart for flesh and blood is like iron stone, and my brother is now said to this step, is it willing?"

Speaking of this, tears were already overflowing in his eyes, and the county lord of Qingcheng remembered the family of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, the king of Qi, and the king of Zhou, and they were all prisoners, and they were speechless for a while.

Speaking of which, she is just a simple and honest village woman, if she is reasonable, where is Zhu Di's opponent, she had to snort: "But he is the emperor after all, the emperor has already issued an edict against himself, what can you do to him as an uncle, when my sister came, the emperor said, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the army and no longer fight, the emperor is willing to divide the river with you and divide the country equally."

Zhu Di immediately interrupted the words of the county lord of Qingcheng: "Sister, this country is the foundation laid by my father, how can I be a son of a ruined family, first divide the ancestor's family property into two parts, what a ridiculous brother doesn't want this half of the country, just want to take the head of the dynasty and the middle of the country" The county lord of Qingcheng said in embarrassment: "Little Si'er" Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fourth sister, think about it, my younger brother was sealed by the emperor's examination, but the land of a city in Beiping has become a nail in the emperor's eyes, and half of the land is cut.

If the emperor wants his ministers to dismiss the army, he only needs to kill and annihilate him, and the ministers will pay homage to the filial piety tomb and the son of heaven, and only serve the feudal auxiliary, and no longer hope for him.

If you don't get rid of the ministers, I will never return the army to Beiping, this is the emperor's plan to delay the army, I can hide it from you, sister, but I can't hide it from Zhu Di."

The county lord of Qingcheng was stunned by what he said, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he thought about it and said, "That fourth brother, which annihilators do you want to kill?"

Zhu Di touched his sleeve, took out a notebook, pushed it in front of the county lord of Qingcheng, and said awe-inspiringly: "Brother Chen, there are 29 people who have been annihilated by the dynasty."

The county lord of Qingcheng was taken aback and said, "So many" Zhu Di said: "The first three evils, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai.

My Da Ming Sect personally killed each other, and countless dead and wounded soldiers and soldiers and civilians in the four years of the Great War, all because these three people were divided, and they were the culprits, and these three people must die The remaining 26 people, if they are willing to bow down and confess, they don't have to be killed. ” The county lord of Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It's better to kill only three than to lose half of the country."

Since Xiao Si'er has said so publicly, as long as the emperor kills those three bastards who provoked my family to kill each other, Xiao Si'er will not be able to give up anymore. ” Zhu Yunwen was looking forward to it in the court, he offered the conditions for dividing the river and ruling it, which was a difficult problem for Zhu Di, if Zhu Di agreed, he would be charged with usurpation, what was difficult to clear the king's side, all became a big joke, forgive him and dare not agree, but with such generous conditions, Zhu Di could not be unmoved, after all, whether he could take Nanjing was still between the two, but this division of the river was within reach, as long as he hesitated for a few days, his reinforcements arrived. didn't want the county lord of Qingcheng to come back, but he brought back a list of twenty-nine ministers, in addition to Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, as well as Jing Qing, Lian Zining, Huang Guan and others, all of them were ministers who advocated cutting the domain.

Zhu Di did not agree to his conditions, but instead sent him into an army, and as soon as the list of "war criminals" was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

The officials on the "list of annihilated ministers" were all extremely angry, and the officials who had not been on the list were all relieved, while Li Jinglong, Ru Chang and other officials of the main and faction took the opportunity to make a noise and demanded that the emperor kill the three annihilations in order to thank King Yan.

When many ministers of the centrist faction reached this point, they couldn't help but be inexplicable, just four years ago, who would have thought that King Yan would have the prestige of King Yan today, who gave him the imperial court thousands of miles and millions of male soldiers to deal with a vassal king who started with 800 people, and fought back and forth to this point, even if the three annihilations who ranked first in the list of war criminals of King Yan were not annihilated, were they not mediocre ministers For a while, they also wrote to impeach, they did not ask the emperor to kill Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, but also proposed that these three people were mediocre and misguided of the country, and should be reduced to the people, never used, so, or can calm the anger of King Yan.

Fang Xiaoru saw that the crowd was raging, and everyone couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and immediately shouted, this great Confucian was rarely angry, and occasionally he was angry, and his spit flew away, but the situation was also terrifying, and the ministers didn't dare to speak for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the civil and military forces calmed down, one of them suddenly stepped forward and angrily reprimanded: "Above the court, it was originally the place where hundreds of officials discussed political affairs, and the country has reached such a point, can't it accommodate those who dare to speak out?"

Fang Xiaoru looked at it angrily, and when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

Lian Zining turned out to be a starry night, Lian Zining, who had just returned to Beijing, was on the same list, and he actually stood on the opposite side of himself.

Lian Zining is a young Zhuang faction of cutting the domain, and he also adheres to the policy of cutting the domain, but the ability of the other party Huang Zhiliu is really hateful, seeing that Fang Xiaoru is still putting on his great Confucian faction, Lian Zining finally couldn't help but stand up.

Fang Xiaoru suddenly thundered like five thunders, his psychological defense line was also broken, looking around, he felt that every pair of eyes he saw were full of hatred and contempt, Li Jinglong flicked his nails, and said very boringly: "Mr.

Xizhi kept saying righteousness, the world, when Emperor Jing cut the domain, the seven kings forced the palace, the world was in danger, Chao Cuo took the initiative to ask for death to appease the kings, and finally won time for Emperor Jing, Mr.

Xizhi took the world as his own responsibility, why didn't he block the mouth of King Yan with death?

King Yan has no excuse, how dare he break his trust in the world" Fang Xiaoru's face was swollen red like chicken blood, and he shouted angrily: "Fang Xiaoru doesn't care about this body, he can be a minister, how can he trap the emperor in injustice" "Phew," Li Jinglong pouted and replied to him.

"Okay, okay, don't argue.

At the moment, King Yan rejected the conditions of peace, and the Qing family thought that what should be done now" Zhu Yunwen saw that his people were arguing first, so he had to come out to play a round.

Li Jinglong immediately said: "Please punish the three annihilations" Fang Xiaoru said: "A Yangtze River, can be a hundred thousand male soldiers, Jiangbei ships have already sent all the people to burn down, no matter how brave the northern soldiers are, they can still fly across the moat, and the weather is hot, easy to contract with plague, as long as we stick to the Yangtze River, within ten days, Yan Rebellion will inevitably retreat."

If he dares to cross the river brazenly with a bamboo cutting boat, in front of the sailors of our court, he will be sent to death in vain, what is there to fear?"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "Then, who can be sent as a general to lead the water division to resist the enemy on the Yangtze River?"

Liao Ping, the squire of the military department, came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the governor Chen Xuan, the original leader is the soldiers and horses of the water division, and the Beijing Navy division is his old department.

Fang Xiaoru was a little hesitant when he heard this, Chen Xuan was Xu Zengshou's old department, and he was worried that he would have something to do with King Yan because he was worried that he would have something to do with King Yan and let him lead the army.

However, in the past four years, whether he is governing or recommending people, he has made mistakes almost every time, and that bit of self-confidence has long been lost.

The sailor has his own style of play, and it will definitely not work to change the generals who are not accustomed to water warfare, Chen Xuan was recommended by the squire of the military department, it should be no worse, there is no suitable candidate in his hands, if the recommendation is improper again, it will really be a public anger.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoru was silent.

Zhu Yunwen saw that Fang Xiaoru did not object, so he bowed his head and said: "Okay, immediately send an order, let Chen Xuan lead the water division, line up the Yangtze River, and reject the Yan army in the north" Life process, please vote for your monthly ticket and recommendation vote, let us vote, and see off Xia Xun."
