Chapter 683: Yellow Robe
Wang Chengen said truthfully: "Your Majesty, there is no way to know how many slaves and maids there are in the King of Nan, but the slaves and maids know that there are no men and horses who have captured 'Nanhua Island' in the troops of King Qin, who came to Beijing. ”
Wang Chengen said this, the strength of the king of the south should not be underestimated, and the one who came to Beijing to teach King Qin was only a partial division.
Chongzhen's face was sad, and he said leisurely: "If the king of the south rebels, who can deserve it?" ”
Wang Chengen wanted to speak for a while, and then decided to vomit quickly, he knelt down and wept and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid risked death to admonish, since the king of the south rebelled against the court and could not resist, then he should be kind to him and let the king of the south not rebel." ”
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, who was kneeling at his feet, very seriously, and said word by word: "What does Wang Banban mean to let me allow the King of the South to establish himself as a vassal state?" ”
"Your Majesty, the king of the south has won the hearts of the people and the army, and now there are no less than forty or fifty thousand people stationed outside the Guangqu Gate, if he has the heart of disobedience, tens of thousands of Ming troops outside the city will definitely help the king of the south, and I am afraid that the capital will be overnight. As far as the slave maid knew, the generals of the capital did not have the slightest intention of being enemies of the king of the south. ……。 ”
This is not sensational, over the years, Huang Sheng has pretended to slap his face to show his force value, and the Ming generals are convinced, no one will be stupid to hit the stone with an egg, and even if they dare to fight, the soldiers under his command are not willing to do it with the "God of War" who loves the people like a son and treats soldiers well.
This is similar to the French Emperor Louis XVIII mobilized troops to stop Napoleon, who made a comeback, and the result was that Napoleon received as many troops as he sent to fight, and finally Napoleon wrote to the emperor not to send troops, because there were too many troops under his command.
This is the people's back, and Napoleon's victory in France is of course invincible to win the hearts of the people and the army.
Huang Sheng's conditions in the Ming Dynasty were dozens of times stronger than Napoleon's situation at that time, and he was not preparing to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but to talk to the emperor about the conditions for overseas statehood, where is there any difficulty at all?
Chongzhen's face was pale, and he listened silently, Wang Chengen said very bluntly, if the king of the south rebelled, the Ming army on the periphery of the capital division would rebel, and the Ming army defending the city would all surrender to the wind, and even turn against each other.
The emperor actually knew in his heart, he had nothing to do, Wang Chengen said these powerful, but made him think that Wang Chengen was outspoken, seeing that Wang Chengen's words stopped, he encouraged: "Wang Companion, keep talking, I have been listening." ”
"The slave maid thought that the king of the south would not rebel at such a great opportunity, and it should not be even more in the future, and with this experience, your majesty will definitely not let the king of the south enter Gyeonggi again in the future. The imperial court would no longer face the dilemma of the armies of the foreign vassals converging under the city. ”
"Makes sense." Chongzhen said: "Wang Banban continued. ”
Affirmed by the emperor, Wang Chengen was much bolder, he very much hoped that the king of the south and the emperor would not tear his face, he was actually trying his best to maneuver.
Wang Chengen continued: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has been in the army of the Southern King for more than a month, and he has also talked with many people under the command of the Southern King, and they all say that the overseas territory is endless, and everyone wants to go to the open sea to expand the territory. Therefore, the slave maid thought that the king of the south was ambitious, and he might not make a despicable rebellion and ruin his reputation. ”
Chongzhen suddenly realized, untied the knot in his heart, and said quietly: "Fame, yes!" Nanwang has everything, and all he wants now is a good name. The king accompanies him, and I know how to do it. ”
Wang Chengen saw the Son of Heaven accepting advice, he was so excited that he burst into tears, his palms and backs were full of meat, he sincerely hoped that the Son of Heaven and the King of the South would not move the sword.
Chongzhen figured it out, everyone spurned the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the king of the south should not be so unwise, he decided to bet on Huang Shengyi to expand his territory overseas, and not to covet the land of the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, Da Ming is not the opponent of the king of the south, so it is wise to simply treat the king of the south as a brother, give him the treatment of a vassal state, and let him contribute to quelling the troubles of the rogues.
Chongzhen, who no longer suffers from gains and losses, suddenly felt relaxed, he felt hungry, and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Companion, I heard that Bai Shangyi has donated a lot of bird's nests again, and I am hungry." ”
Wang Chengen was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid will arrange it immediately." ”……。
The next day, the court continued to discuss, and suddenly the general guarding the Guangqu Gate sent an urgent report, and the army outside the city was clamoring, demanding that the imperial court pay the military salary and head reward.
This is a naked conspiracy, but there is no solution.
This is also a big joke, the border army that the court relies on is clamoring, and the "God of War" army that the court guards against is in good order.
It can be seen that the situation is delicate now, and then let these people and horses stay in Beijing, I am afraid that it is not that the king of the south wants to rebel, but that the arrogant soldiers of the other Ming army will take the initiative to seize the capital division and dedicate it to the king of the south to force him to add a yellow robe, and it is not known that the mutiny of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty in history, is like this.
Unlike any period, the soldiers of the Beijing division seemed to be in danger when they approached the city, but the civil and military generals were calm, the soldiers of the border army were clamoring, and the princes of Gon were smiling one by one, completely unimpressed.
Strange things appeared, and even Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised, because this was expected, and King Nan's recital yesterday had already revealed his intentions.
The princes and ministers believed that it would not hurt if the king of the south did not rebel, and the attack on the capital would not cause casualties, because everyone knew that the king of the south would not have decent resistance when he entered the army, and there would be no killing without resistance.
It is impossible for the benevolent king of the south to wantonly slaughter his own compatriots, nor will he target the officials of the imperial court, so the princes of Gon have an indifferent attitude.
Chongzhen figured it out yesterday, he knew that Da Ming was not the opponent of the Southern King in the short term anyway, so he simply bet that he would not rebel, and if he had no desire, he would be strong, so the army outside the city did not panic when he was clamoring for the emperor.
After a while, the counselor guarding the Guangqu Gate reported that he went out of the city to negotiate urgently, and now the mood of the border army who was clamoring was stable, and the soldiers were all in a word, if the imperial court was temporarily unable to issue salaries and cash out the head reward, let the scholar Huang Daozhou come to the army to theorize.
So that's the case, all the princes of Gon Gon understood why the border army was clamoring, and they all understood that the border army must have been instructed by someone, and the purpose of the king of the south was clearly revealed, and everyone smiled silently.
Da Ming mutiny occurred many times due to trouble, and in the end, although he was crushed by bullets, he was also injured, and the military salary that should be paid had to be paid.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the outskirts of Beijing, who has the strength to suppress it? Therefore, the only way to appease is to do so, but this needs to be based on the money that can be obtained.
It's a pity that even if the imperial court makes up a head reward, it won't help, because the king of Nan can directly accept it as a military salary or arrears.
The reason is still high-sounding, is the silent army and the court bullying desperately? Shouldn't the soldiers of the King of the South be paid?
Therefore, to unravel this set, unless the imperial court can get more than 7 million taels of silver.
