Chapter 284: The Strategy of Chu King Zhu Huakui

Zhu Youxiao stood there in a bit of a silence and didn't say anything for a long time. He never expected Wei Min'er to suddenly agree to the King of Chu's proposal. He couldn't help but remember that King of Chu Zhu Huakui asked to see him and made a special request to him to grant him the King of Chu Zhu Huakui to take Wei Min'er as a side room.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked Wu Jin: "Can Wei Min'er know this King of Chu before?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know you. I have already checked everything that Miss Wei can know in Jinling City. Moreover, according to the location of Wei, Miss Wei promised to marry the King of Chu to be related to the persuasion of Miss Wei's cousin Ruan Dacheng." After Wu Jin answered truthfully, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Although his cousin means, I'm afraid it's related to her hatred for being her father-killing enemy, and I want to stay away from me."

So, after thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin to retreat first, and he needs to be alone for a while now.

From Jinling to Wuchang, Zhu Youxiao chose to take a boat to go up the Yangtze River, and the newly trained navy was also led by Qin Botong to escort it, which can be regarded as a practice of inland river cruise. For the newly trained naval soldiers, they can improve their helm and use new steam-powered ships, especially in countercurrent situations.

The moon was in the sky, and the imperial boats on the silver river surface were slightly rippling. The naval warships guarding the surroundings were still standing in front of them like giants, but they were silent. Zhu Youxiao felt a little lost for the first time. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him and the millions of people who control their destiny brought him an unparalleled sense of accomplishment, but he also forgot that he was just an ordinary person, a person with personal desires, not a god with six senses of purity.

"I would rather be a vassal room than reject me. I am thankful that I am naive to think that as a king of a country, I can control a person's wishes." After Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, he couldn't help but stand up and roar at the vast river. The guards and officers and soldiers of the guards remained silent. Even Wang Chengen dared not come to persuade him, and silently stood on the other side of the deck with Li Mingrui.

No one dared to touch His Majesty's dragon scales at this time, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything after ejaculation. He slapped the railing hard and returned to the cabin. The cabin was as cool as autumn, and Zhu Youxiao's mood was extremely cold.

In the early morning, Zhu Youxiao was just like the sun floating on the horizon. Just as Ling Xin was serving, she finished washing up and after a little breakfast, she began to review the memorials handed over from the capital. These are all military and national affairs, and they are not careless at all. However, many of them were proposed by Li Mingrui last night to propose a resolution, so Zhu Youxiao was not too tired. Li Mingrui handled many matters very well, so Zhu Youxiao simply threw them to Wang Chengen: "Check it!"

Since Zhu Youxiao was given a reference, Wang Chengen quickly wrote the word "accurate" on the memorial in red, but there were also one or two memorials. Zhu Youxiao needed to hold it in his hand and think about it for a while. At the same time, he would also ask Wang Chengen's opinion. When he was sure that he would not follow the intended opinion of Li Mingrui, Zhu Youxiao would often make arbitrary decisions, but there were also times when he called Li Mingrui to discuss it with him.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a memorial saying that he and Mao Wenlong had decided to send 5,000 elite troops across the sea and go north to contact more than a dozen Ming garrisons scattered in Sakhalin Island and its surrounding areas. This time, we mainly brought them necessary living materials and firearms before winter came, and were preparing to regain the lost land occupied by the Rakshasa people, in order to consolidate the Sakhalin Island stronghold and the Liaodong Peninsula to form a joint attack on the Qing Dynasty and Wu Xiang tribes. However, the supplies required a total of 3 million silver dollars for goods, and requested the court to allocate them."

After watching the memorial for a long time, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were a little sore, so he simply didn't bother to read the memorial again, so he asked Ling Xin, who was also literate, to read it for herself.

"Well, Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being the minister I rely on the most, and he is still very strategic. How did Mr. Li vote for it?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, and Ling Xin replied accordingly: "Old Li Ge said that the extreme north is a bitter and cold place. For several years, the local garrison soldiers and civilians have no longer contacted the court, and they have lived with local barbarians. They have long lost the trend of the Central Plains. Now they will be futile and useless to contact them again. There is no need to go through such a big trouble to eliminate the Qing Dynasty. As long as the domestic officials are governed in a clear and clear manner, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, but a general is only selected to be 100,000 soldiers."

"Li Mingrui has a lot of bad ideas for his advice, but it was the opinion of the scholar. His strategy was not as good as Lu Xiang's promotion. He fought back and asked them to follow the advice of Grand Secretary Lu. The three million silver dollars of materials were added to five million materials. Remember, my real enemy in the future will not only be the Qing official founded by Huang Taiji, but also the tiger in the north."

"I understand," Wang Chengen responded, then took the memorial from Ling Xin, and crossed out the ticket written by Li Mingrui with a red pen, and commented on it: "According to the meaning of Grand Secretary Lu"

Praise the red is the power of the Sili Supervisor to take charge of the seal or the eunuch who holds the pen. Ling Xin naturally cannot interfere in her affairs. She only has the qualifications to read it. Therefore, when Wang Chengen criticized the red news according to Zhu Youxiao's intention, she was already reading the next memorial.

It took Zhu Youxiao a morning to complete the backlog of redundant tasks that had been accumulated overnight, which was a little tired. Although he had asked Ling Xin and Wang Chengen to share most of the government affairs with him, how to deal with these affairs still had to be handled through his brain circuit, and he still had to work hard.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youxiao summoned Wu Jin as usual and listened to Wu Jin conveying the latest news brought by the East Factory.

Zhu Youxiao did not disrupt the rhythm of his life because King Zhu Huakui of Chu wanted to marry Wei Min'er. As the leader of a country, if he was in chaos, the whole country would have to follow suit.

But this does not mean that he will let things go without his control. If he can, he will not mind using rough means to grab Wei Min'er back first.

"Your Majesty, the intention of Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, is already the intention of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows it. According to our informant report in Wuchang, Zhu Huakui has had a secret contact with Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu's men have secretly gathered outside Wuchang City. Tonight, Zhu Huakui will host a banquet for the left and right governors of the Huguang Administration Commission, the Censor of the Huguang Administration Censor, the Deputy Envoy of the Huguang Administration Censor, the Deputy Envoy of the Tuxue, the Wuchang Prefecture and other officials. If these officials are willing to raise the banner of righteousness, they will let them go. If they are not willing, they will kill them all, and then open the city gate as the inner escort."

Wu Jin said again: "According to their plan, they will immediately recruit troops in Wuchang City, and then directly initiate the affairs. In the name of eliminating the treacherous slander in the court, following the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, and going to Beijing to serve the king. The intention is naturally to go to Nanchang first and then go straight to Jinling City."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Where is the imperial guards in Yueyang and the imperial guards in Xuzhou, how can he deal with the imperial guards in Chu King Zhu Huakui?"

"Their plan is to give up Wuchang City, so that before the Yueyang Imperial Guard Fu Dahai tribe rushed to Wuchang City, he could take Nanochang first, and use Nanochang, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to prevent the Imperial Guard Fu Dahai tribe from advancing east. Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, would also take advantage of this to directly head towards Jinling City, and prepare to recruit refugees along the way to expand the number of troops so that he can attack Huanglong!"

King Zhu Huakui, Ruan Dacheng, Zuo Liangyu and others naturally didn't know that the East Factory had fully understood their strategic deployment. However, after listening to Wu Jin's report, Zhu Youxiao did not feel the crisis approaching. Instead, he felt funny: "Who gave Zhu Huakui a bad idea? He was so sure that my Imperial Guard would follow his wishes. Even though he knew that he was going to attack Nanchang City, my Imperial Guard was still stupid enough to retake Wuchang City?"

"According to the insider, it was Ruan Dacheng's suggestion, and Zuo Liangyu also agreed with the proposal. However, Zuo Liangyu gave it to his confidant subordinates, but he did not agree with the strategy of the King of Chu. The reason why he agreed was because he and his subordinates wanted to come to the wealthy land in Jiangnan to plunder a wave, which would make a fortune. They didn't care whether the King of Chu was defeated or not, and at most they would turn against each other in the end."

After Wu Jin said that, Zhu Youxiao did not speak anymore and began to think about it. Only then did he realize that the key point was not whether the King of Chu could succeed in rebellion or whether it was a joke, but whether these landlord armed forces with incorrect minds and greed and selfishness would take advantage of the chaos of the world, poison the people, plunder the people's wealth, and destroy the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

"These people who want to mess up our Ming Dynasty and take the opportunity to burn, kill and rob, are the most hateful!"

Zhu Youxiao cursed fiercely and asked again: "Do you find out the specific time of the Chu King Zhu Huakui?"

"The third day of next month and the first day of next month, the King of Chu will hold a wedding ceremony and take this opportunity to contact all forces, and then proceed in the third day of next month." After Wu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered Wang Chengen to unfold the map, and he began to think about the map. After a long time, he ordered: "I will send you a message to Fu Dahai tribe and rush to Hanyang immediately. Qin Botong tribe does not have to protect me anymore. He immediately goes up the river and heads straight to Chibi. Be sure to surround me before the first day of next month."

After Zhu Youxiao said that, he also told him to go to Nanochang City first to prevent King Zhu Huakui or Zuo Liangyu from escaping under the eyes of the Imperial Guards and quickly conquering Nanochang and establishing a foothold in northern Jiangxi.

...

Wei Min'er entered the Chu Palace accompanied by Ruan Dacheng. Because she had been to the palace, the scale of the magnificent and extremely gorgeous Chu Palace did not surprise her much, and even made Wei Min'er feel a strong sense of strangeness. She felt that she was out of place and did not even know anyone.

However, King Zhu Huakui of Chu was very moved. Not only did he give Wei Min'er a lot of jewelry, gold and jade, but Ruan Dacheng also gave him many rewards worth more than hundreds of silver dollars.

At the same time, King Zhu Huakui of Chu also gave Wei Min'er an independent house for her residence, and was equipped with dozens of maids and ten small yellow gates to serve her. At the same time, King Zhu Huakui of Chu could not wait to order people to choose auspicious days to determine the day to take care of her side rooms and to handle the matter.

But it was precisely because he was a little proud now that he ignored the ubiquitous Dongchang manga, and that such two important time information was found by Dongchang after it was confirmed.

However, King Zhu Huakui of Chu was still living in his fantasy world. After confirming that it was the first day of next month to perform the lottery ceremony, Zhu Huakui began to order people to arrange silk and satin at home. But at the same time, he immediately met Zuo Liangyu and others and began to discuss the uprising and how to revolt.

For this reason, Zhu Huakui also sent his own scouts to investigate the situation in Wuchang and Nanchang City. When he learned that the strength of the garrisons in these cities was already weak, even a few thousand old and weak, he began to feel a little complacent, thinking that he could stir up the world.

"The land of Jingchu has always been difficult to defend. Instead of occupying Wu Chang and waiting for Zhu Youxiao's imperial army to suppress it, it is better to occupy Nanchang. The Imperial Guard Fu Dahai tribe is good at fighting six times and neglect water battles. Many of the soldiers of Zuo Liangyu tribe are familiar with water battles, so as long as we occupy Nanchang City, we can resist Fu Dahai tribe, and after occupying Nanchang, we will go straight to Jinling City, which is unexpected."

King Zhu Huakui of Chu now likes to listen to Ruan Dacheng's strategic plan the most, and Ruan Dacheng himself also said it vividly. In their opinion, it seems that it is good to occupy Jinling City and rule the river.

Wei Min'er seemed a little depressed. The more she knew she was going to marry a vassal king, and she was a vassal king she didn't know, the more she felt unsure. But when she thought of the order that His Majesty himself issued, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and continued to cooperate with the people of the Chu Palace to tailor her clothes and put on makeup and draw eyebrows.

Wei Min'er felt a little disappointed and wondered if it weren't for his will, would she agree to marry the Prince of Chu, named Zhu Huakui.

But at the same time, Wei Min'er was hoping that Zhu Youxiao would suddenly appear at this time, and then let herself go back and continue working in the Daming Daily.

However, when Wei Min'er thought that this was originally the will of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that King Zhu Huakui of Chu was about to be his husband, and that she could not think about others at this time, and that husband and wife should still pay attention to it.

"Your Majesty, Huguang Governor Hou Xun, this man was indeed ill-intentioned. When the Fu Dahai tribe of the Imperial Guard arrived in Mianyang, a fire suddenly broke out in Mianyang City, and the fire spread directly. In order to prevent more people from dying from the fire, the Imperial Guard Fu Dahai had to participate in the rescue, but it delayed the march time. Afterwards, we found that the factor that caused most of the Mianyang City to be burned was Huguang Governor Hou Xun, because the ones who burned the houses were all the housekeepers of Huguang Governor Hou Xun."

After Wu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It seems that the governor of Huguang Hou Xun is indeed a person with disagreement. You from the East Factory will arrest him immediately, but remember not to alert the enemy. At the same time, order all the troops to advance and immediately surround Wuchang Prefecture."

Zhu Youxiao ordered it and left the cabin and asked Wu Jin again: "Have Fan Wencheng's interrogation result been released? How many ministers of the vassal states in the court have he contacted?"

"Your Majesty, you can arrive within three days. According to your wishes, he has been arranged to be executed at the tomb of Fan Zhongyan and Fan Wenzheng. Fan Wencheng, based on the evidence of Fan Zhongyan's descendants, let him honestly accept the punishment in front of his ancestors of the Fan family," said Zhu Youxiao.
