Zhu Linmiao continued: "Then you proclaimed yourself the Taishi and the pillar of the country, and you rumored that you would die with me, but what did you say?" ”

He Tengjiao scolded Meng Zhengfa and others 10,000 times in his heart, and said hurriedly: "The Holy Lord has clearly observed that the ministers have never been self-proclaimed, let alone dare to be enemies of the court, everything is a rumor spread by traitors to force the ministers to rebel." ”

Zhu Linmiao knew that although He Tengjiao had always supported the army and excluded dissidents in history, he did not have the courage to take the initiative to rebel, but to say that what he just said was the truth, it would definitely not be true.

It is likely that the matter started with Meng Zhengfa's own selfish desires and designed to kidnap the little emperor, and He Tengjiao saw that it was profitable, so he half-pushed and half-waited, and waited to see the development of the situation. Otherwise, he could have arrested Meng Zhengfa and the others from the beginning, and at the same time reported to the imperial court and returned Zhu Linyuan. However, he never expected that the Empress Dowager Zeng would resolutely announce the abdication of the little emperor, which made his wishful thinking fall through and put him in an embarrassment.

But at this time, He Tengjiao not only had the intention of being soft, but Zhu Linmiao was worried about the vast situation of the lake, so he naturally saw through it and did not say anything.

"And what you say is true. But no matter what the cause of the incident, the Son of Heaven is held, the government and the opposition are shaken, and you, as the chief official in charge of the military and political affairs of Huguang, cannot escape the blame! ”

He saw He Tengjiao trembling violently with fright, and then changed his words and said, "However, if you can fully cooperate with the imperial court and quell the chaos in Huguang, I can also reduce your guilt appropriately depending on your performance." ”

He Tengjiao hurriedly kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the ministers will do their best to make up for their mistakes and ...... for the court."

"Okay, let me ask you first, right now, King Tang, ah, it's Emperor Taizheng, where is he?"

"Back to the emperor, heaven...... His Royal Highness the King of Tang was still on the boat from Jiujiang to Hukou, and was escorted by Zhao Guan. ”

"Okay, you order him to get to the mouth of the lake as soon as possible, and I will send Luo Mingshou to take him back to King Tang."

"Minister, obey the order."

Only then did Zhu Linmiao wave his hand and said, "Let's all be even." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Zhu Linmiao made a lot of arrangements in the early stage, he didn't expect that the matter of Huguang would be solved smoothly, and he was also relieved to see that a Ming infighting was eliminated.

After He Tengjiao and the others got up from the ground, he continued: "Since you said that you have no intention of confronting the imperial court, then immediately return to Wuchang and open the city to welcome the imperial army. Then he wrote to the Chu army everywhere, ordering it to put down its swords and accept the dispatch of the military department. ”

He Tengjiao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, spread his hands in embarrassment, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really wants to calm the situation in Chudi as soon as possible, but now it is really difficult to welcome the army into Wuchang immediately, and order the troops of Huguang to surrender......

"Huh?" Zhu Linmiao's face suddenly sank.

He Tengjiao knelt down in panic again, "Holy Mingjian." At the beginning, rumors spread in Huguang, saying that the ministers wanted to welcome the Son of Heaven into Wuchang, and the generals of Chu thought that there was a good opportunity to soar.

"At this time, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses everywhere are like arrows, gearing up, even if the ministers order them to turn back, I am afraid it will be ......."

He peeked at Zhu Linmiao, "Just like Liu Tiren, Hao Shaoqi, Wang Jincai and other departments in Changsha, they were all invaded and surrendered, and in recent years, there have been many raids in places that do not obey orders, and if they are forced to do so, I am afraid that they will immediately return to their old business."

"Even if Zhang Xianbi, the chief soldier of Wuchang, and others, although they are nominally directly subordinate to the ministers, they have repeatedly proclaimed themselves kings recently, and they have taken it upon themselves to transfer soldiers and horses from nearby Huangzhou, Xiaogan and other places into Wuchang, and they have many ......other plans in their hearts."

Zhu Linmiao's brows furrowed when she heard this, but she knew that most of what he said was true. The Huguang Domain has been in possession for a long time, and in order to maximize his own power, He Tengjiao almost did not refuse to come, resulting in an extremely complex composition of the soldiers in Chudi. There are not only "southern soldiers", that is, the various miscellaneous armies originally stationed in Huguang, but also the old department of the guard, as well as He Tengjiao's self-trained "supervision". And the strongest is the "Xiangma", that is, several groups of Dashun troops who surrendered.

In the final analysis, the so-called feudal forces are nothing more than a group of warlords gathered for interests, and the leaders seem to be beautiful, but in fact, they are also "kidnapped" by their subordinates to a large extent, and can only continue to move forward in danger to satisfy the greed of their subordinates.

This was extremely common in the late Ming Dynasty. is like Zuo Liangyu, the largest warlord in the Southern Ming Dynasty, who has 300,000 troops, but frequently plunders places to support soldiers. Later, his garrison was already rotten, and there was a threat of construction, and his subordinates saw that it was unprofitable, so they gathered the generals of the 36th battalion to make trouble headed by Huang Shu, the superintendent of the army. Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to follow Huang Shu's suggestion to send troops to Nanjing to rebel in the name of "Qing Jun's side", plundering everywhere along the way, and only then did he fill the stomachs of his warlords. However, he was shocked that the Nanjing court mobilized the troops and horses of the Jiangbei defense line to resist the rebels, and finally cheapened Jianyu, leading to the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Hades has seen it, can you still be stopped by these little ghosts? Zhu Linmiao took the map of the deployment of imperial court troops, lowered his head and thought for a long time, raised his hand to beckon He Tengjiao, and ordered: "I will send an order to the Sichuan army, so that they will deliberately sell a flaw, and after you return to Wuchang, you will send Zhang Xianbi to lead the main force of Wuchang out of the city to attack the camp." On the other hand, you sent your henchmen to open the city gate, so that Wan Yuan Ji entered Wuchang and controlled the situation in the city. When Zhang Xianbi's army is defeated and flees back, you only need to let him into the city, and he will have his own Gan army cuisine.

"As for Changsha, you first sent someone to spread to them the great victory of Wuchang, broke the imperial army by tens of thousands, captured countless people, and summoned them to chase and suppress the defeated army. I will let the loyal battalion and Li Dingguo's troops get out of the way, wait for the Changsha soldiers to reach the city of Wuchang, and then attack from behind. At this time, you will come forward to appease you, and all the departments in Changsha will surrender. ”

"Your Majesty's clever plan!" He Tengjiao immediately said, "The ministers will settle the liver and brain, so as to calm down the whole Chu as soon as possible!" ”

"Okay," Zhu Linmiao nodded, "When the situation in Huguang calms down, I will issue an edict to clear your grievances and still seal the Marquis of Guang." He secretly added in his heart, it's just that Huguang has made such a big mess, you don't have to think about the fiefdom.

He Tengjiao dared to have extravagance at this time, and when he heard that he could still be a marquis, he immediately knelt down and thanked him, "Thank the emperor for his grace, and the ministers will die to repay ......"

"Get up." Zhu Linmiao gestured with his hand, and then remembered someone again, so he asked, "By the way, where is that Meng Zheng found?" ”

"Back to the emperor, after this thief sent the king of Tang to Jiujiang, he went to Changsha with a Jianyu woman, where he sent friends to spread rumors and encourage the army to gather troops to prepare for war......"

"Jianyu?" Zhu Linmiao immediately thought that it was hundreds of Jianyu who kidnapped Zhu Linyuan under the Purple Mountain, and Concubine Meng Zhengfa also confessed that he had a secret discussion with a Manchurian woman before, so he frowned and said, "Do you know what Jianyu's plan is for this matter?" ”

"This, the lower officials also know that it is ominous." He Tengjiao said, "I only heard that according to Meng Zhengfa, when Huguang and the imperial court start a war, Dongyu will definitely send troops to attack along the Yangtze River in response."

"By the way, the minister suddenly remembered that Meng Zhengfa also sent back a copy of Dolgon's handwritten letter, in which he swore that if the minister agreed to rebel, they were willing to rule the river with the minister and strike the army for three years."
