Zhang Xiaoqi, the Taichang Siqing who was named the head of Xiao Jiuqing by the Tang Dynasty, was not far behind and went out to oppose the matter.
Hong Yuao is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and these days he has also studied the national supervision ceremony very deeply, knowing that there is indeed no military parade, and he does not know what Zhou Shixiang intended to invite Tang Wang to school soldiers, so he also went out to say that this matter was not in accordance with the rules.
Regarding the military parade, Zhou Shixiang did not pass the wind with Guo Zhiqi at all in advance, and even Song Xianggong did not know about it, but he had a momentary idea, and he simply wanted to ask Tang Wang to review the soldiers of the three armies to strengthen the prestige of the country, and at the same time ask Tang Wang to say a few words about the Northern Expedition, so that the morale of the army can also be greatly increased, and the people's morale is also high.
I don't want to, but even the city wall jumped out to object, saying that it is against the system of the ancestors to say that the reckless martial arts made Zhou Shixiang unhappy, and also made the eyes of the Taiping generals in the palace widen.
Song Xianggong, Yuan Kuoyu, and Ding Zhixiang, as Zhou Shixiang's representatives in the cabinet, were naturally not to be outdone, and they all accused Lian Chengbi of saying this about the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.
Although even the city wall knew that the wording was inappropriate, but there was an ancestral system to follow, but he refused to back down, and for a while, His Royal Highness Wu Ying was actually fighting over whether to be a school soldier.
During the quarrel, the generals of the Taiping Army who watched the ceremony all looked gloomy, Ge Yi stared at Zhang Xiaoqi's neck coldly, Suna stared at Liancheng Wall, and Shao Chengguo and others were also angry.
Fortunately, Jiang Bald and Blind Li are not there, otherwise I am afraid that there will be trouble again.
Zhou Shixiang was dissatisfied with the city wall and regarded the Taiping army he had worked so hard to bring out as a reckless warrior, so he did not interfere with the quarrel in front of him and let them quarrel continue.
Guo Zhiqi saw that this was not good, how could a good prison ceremony turn into a dispute of words, but Zhou Shixiang didn't speak, Yuan Kuoyu and the others refused to stop, and even ignored him on the other side of the city wall, and couldn't help but get a little angry.
Wang Guangxing, Liu Tichun, He Zhen and other loyal battalion generals who watched the ceremony were all from martial arts, and even the rude martial artists on the city wall were carried in with them, how could they have a good face for the second assistant who almost called Zhou Shixiang to slaughter.
In the end, the focus of the contradiction returned to King Tang, but King Tang said in the palace: "When it is extraordinary, the etiquette is also extraordinary."
The soldiers of the three armies died for the imperial court, how could they be willing to live in the palace, as if the house slave was played by the Duke of Yueguo, and the lonely relatives went to the school to read the soldiers of the three armies. ” Lian Chengbi and the others were immediately disappointed when they heard this.
So at the insistence of the Tang King, the hundred officials drove out of the Dongcheng Benyuexiu camp with the car.
The third town of the Yuexiu battalion was in good spirits, and because the town general Jiang He was imprisoned, he was led by the deputy general for training.
King Tang was full of interest from beginning to end, and did not show impatience.
Finally, in the sound of "long live" of thousands of Taiping soldiers, Tang Wang drove back to the city.
After returning to the city, even the city wall was still unwilling, and said to the surrounding officials: "Your Highness is so good at killing outlaws, what is the use of us and other scholars?"
These words reached the ears of King Tang, but he smiled and did not speak.
Zhou Shixiang has a lot of eyes and ears, and naturally he also heard the words of Lianchengbi, like Tang Wang, he also smiled and did not speak, firstly, he did not have the energy to fight with the self-proclaimed Lianchengbi of the generation of scholars, and secondly, he was in a good mood, because Zhao Ziqiang finally sent back the first battle report from Annan.
This battle report shows that after two skirmishes with the Annan Naval Division, Wu Yuan had led his army to attack the Haiyang Water Village, where the main force of the Annam Water Division was located, and once the Haiyang Water Village was uprooted, Annan would no longer have any sea power to resist the expeditionary force.
In the battle at sea, Zhao Ziqiang was a layman, so he did not act as a hero, but let Wu Yuan, the commander of the naval division, be responsible for commanding the battle against the Annan naval division.
Wu Yuan led the naval division from Leizhou and Qiongzhou, and successively fought two battles with the Annam naval division in Nghe An and Thanh Hoa in Annam, both of which severely damaged the Annam naval division and burned more than 30 ships of the Annam naval division, but the reaction of the Annam side was inexplicable, and I don't know why the Ming naval division wanted to attack Annam.
The military intelligence department has sent the information about Annam to the expeditionary force by speedboat, and the intelligence shows that the nominal monarch of Annam at this time is Li Weiqi, who is the eighteenth emperor of the Li Dynasty after Annam, but he is controlled by Zheng Zheng, a powerful minister in the north.
In the south, it was controlled by the powerful minister Nguyen Phuc Binh, who also proclaimed himself king and set his capital at Hue in the south.
Zheng Zheng is the son of Zheng Jie, a powerful minister in the north of Annan, in the seventh year of Yongli, Zheng Ji died of illness during the Northern Expedition of the army of the southern Ruan lord, and Zheng Zheng became the heir.
At this time, the Nguyen army defeated the Zheng army many times and advanced the battle line to the An area.
Zheng Zheng, who had just taken power, led his troops to defend and was defeated by Nguyen Phuc, the lord of Nguyen.
However, the following year, Zheng Zheng defeated the Nguyen army, and the Nguyen army was completely driven back to the south.
Now Zheng Zheng is actively preparing for war, ready to lead his army south at any time, trying to completely defeat the Nguyen regime in the south.
Zheng Zheng coerced Li Weiqi to set the capital of Thang Long Mansion in the north, and proclaimed himself the marshal of the capital, the governor of the country, and the king of Ping'an.
In the eighth year of Yongli, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to canonize Li Weichu as the king, and the powerful minister Zheng Zheng as the vice king.
In addition to the two powerful ministers of the Nguyen clan in the south and the Zheng clan in the north, Annam also had a force, that is, the Cao Ping Mo dynasty bordering China's Qinzhou in the north.
The Mo Dynasty was the northern dynasty of the first Northern and Southern Dynasties in Vietnam, in the sixth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Mo Dengyong, a powerful minister of the Later Li Dynasty, usurped the throne to establish the Mo Dynasty, and was overthrown by the Later Li Dynasty restored by the Zheng family during the Wanli period.
After the fall of the Mo Dynasty, the Mo clan was not completely wiped out, and the Mo clan gathered in Gaoping in the north to establish rule, under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and had a very close relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
However, after Zheng Zheng defeated the southern Ruan lords, the remnants of the Mo clan in Gaoping proclaimed himself a vassal to Zheng Zheng under the leadership of the head of the family, Mo Jingyu, and Zheng Zheng gave Mo Jingyu the title of official Taiwei Tongguo Gong, but the Mo clan did not pay tribute to the Zheng family.
And Mo Jingyu privately proclaimed himself the emperor of Shunde in Gaoping, often plundered the Taiyuan territory of the Zheng family, and was also a careerist who was unwilling to be subordinate.
The seizure of the Yongli court and the eldest princess and her party was done by Ding Wenzuo, the town guard of the Zheng regime.
The spies of the Military Intelligence Department spent a lot of money to buy off the people in the Zheng General's Wu Rong Mansion, and only then did they basically figure things out.
It turned out that Xu Yingyuan and others were sent to the eldest princess and his entourage from the Red River in Yunnan to enter the territory of Annan, and then the local guide passed through Taiyuan, turned to Langshan, and returned to Guangdong from the Qinzhou area.
Unexpectedly, Ding Wenzuo, the local town guard, suspected that the Ming Dynasty was coming to aid Gaoping Mo's family, and knew that the Hulu Qing army in the north had invaded Yunnan, thinking that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed, and in order to establish a relationship with the Qing Dynasty, he sent someone to kidnap the princess and her party, trying to give the Ming Dynasty princess and courtiers to the Qing army, in order to please the Qing Dynasty.
Ding Wenzuo's actions were affirmed by Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family and the vice king of Annan, and all indications showed that Zheng Zheng intended to be recognized by the Qing court, so that his upcoming war for the unification of Annam would not be interfered with by external forces. oshow7 t1706231537:
