Chapter 4 Reuse of Jinyiwei

"Yes! Not only do you have to fight the clear army, but you also have to win in one battle! This is my plan..."

Zhu Youlang shared his combat plan, and the ministers looked at each other. What kind of military merit decisions? Isn’t this just a risk? How do you know that the Qing soldiers would quietly invade Guangzhou? How do you know that the Eastern Dynasty had no defense?

"My dear friends, don't hesitate. If I win this battle, I will be completely based in Guangzhou and have a place between Guangdong and Guangxi. At that time, as long as the rear is stable, the people's morale will be greatly boosted, and if I work hard, I will launch a counterattack in a few years. The Ming Dynasty's revival is expected." Zhu Youlang saw that everyone looked at each other and did not speak, and quickly turned into the role of political commissar to cheer him up.

"Your Majesty, this is too risky. The Qing army and the Eastern army are not accurate in calculations, and they will put our army to death. Please think twice." As the chief assistant, Ding Kuichu naturally had to speak first.

"Yes, Master, it's too risky, I dare not obey the orders." The other four ministers bowed and attached themselves.

Seeing that everyone was against it, Zhu Youlang felt helpless: "Sure enough, if I traveled through time to become an ordinary person, I could rely on my medical skills and insights to establish myself in the world. Doctors can do my best to treat the country. Isn't this a forceful way? There is no way, just do ideological work slowly."

"My dear friends, I understand your hard work. This strategy is indeed risky, but it is not without any chance of victory. The key problem is that, besides this strategy, guarding and escaping are not good strategies, and the loss is too great. Therefore, what I mean is that although it is a bit risky, this risk is worth taking. Whether it is too big or not, it is not impossible to go west to Guangxi after losing."

"Also, the replacement of any dynasty is not done step by step, it will be related to the battle of national destiny. I won't talk about the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms, the battle between Emperor Gaozu and Chen Youliang, and the Battle of Chengzu's Jingnan, which battle did not defeat the strong with the weak? Which battle was won with the determination to win? Therefore, this battle is related to the national destiny of my Yongli, and must be fought. If my ancestors bless me and let me succeed by chance, it means that the national destiny is not exhausted; if it fails, it means that the Ming Dynasty has ended..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang was silent, then he raised his head firmly: "No, my Ming Dynasty has not yet been exhausted, and this battle will definitely be successful."

Zhu Youlang is not talking big. Based on his memories of later generations, his risky move was very successful.

However, the ministers still did not agree.

"Damn it, why are these people so stubborn? Why are ideological work so difficult? It's hard to say, it's exciting to them." Zhu Youlang's eyes turned and he thought about the words.

"I should lead my troops to this operation in person to facilitate the dispatch of the enemy at any time according to the enemy's situation. My dear friends, I am not willing to take care of this body as a magistrate. Do you only care about your own lives, your children's talents and wealth, and you are unwilling to bet with me?"

As soon as this statement was made, the five ministers were shocked and knew that the emperor had decided, and if they did not express their attitude at this time, they might be killed in the future.

"Emperor, I will follow the emperor's leader. Even if I die, I dare not refuse!" Ding Kuichu unknowingly dismissed his contempt for the emperor and knelt on the ground first. The other four people also hurriedly knelt down and even said that they were following the order.

"Okay, the king and his ministers are united, and their strengths will be cut off! Please come up, let's discuss it carefully." Zhu Youlang Long was very happy and shouted quickly.

"The emperor is the king of a country, and should not take risks easily. I am not talented and willing to lead troops there. Please allow the emperor to allow him." Chen Bangyan did not get up, but leaned on the ground to ask for advice.

Zhu Youlang knew that this man was a famous loyal minister in history. According to records, Chen Bangyan's son and concubine were captured by Li Chengdong. He wrote a letter to force him to surrender, but he replied: "I humiliated him and killed him, all of which are only orders. As a loyal minister, he ignored his wife. Later, he was captured by Li Chengdong and died of punishment."

"Emperor, Lord Chen said very much. The emperor should be in charge of Zhaoqing. It is a perfect solution to lead troops from me and others." Qu Shizi said.

"I'm going to discuss it."

Ding Kuichu, Lu Daqi, and Li Yongmao also bowed and said.

"I love you Chen, please raise me. I have known you very much. My dear, it is not because I don't believe you, but because this battle is of great importance. I must personally take arrows and stones to inspire the army." Zhu Youlang said in a gentle voice.

"Emperor..." Chen Bangyan was about to say something, and Zhu Youlang waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Don't say it again, my intention has been decided. After this battle, I will definitely obey your opinions and others, and I will not come to the front of the enemy in person, what if I do?"

"Abide by the order!"

Seeing that the emperor was very determined, the five had to obey the order. Although most of them felt that the emperor's behavior was almost reckless, they felt respect in their hearts.

No matter what, he is an emperor, and he is not afraid of arrows and stones, and himself is in front of the enemy. With this courage, he is worthy of admiration.

In fact, Zhu Youlang is not afraid of death, but because he knows the importance of this battle and knows the historical direction within the next ten days. He is really worried about putting such a major matter on these civil officials in front of him.

"Let me do this, I, Chen Aiqing, General Jiao Lian, and General Bai Gui, took five hundred soldiers to Jiujiang in groups and secretly took the opportunity to act. Lv Aiqing led two thousand troops to go east to Gaoming, waiting for an opportunity to act. Ding, Qu, and Li took the other generals and officials to guard Zhaoqing. On the one hand, we should spread the information about the capital of Wuzhou to confuse Shaowu's monarchy; on the other hand, we should step up the repair of the fortifications of Rongcheng City, and send Yang Guowei to send him five thousand troops to Wuzhou secretly."

"Abide by the order!"

The five ministers agreed in unison.

"In addition, Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, ordered Ma Jixiang to step up the investigation of spies in the city and sent plainclothes to reconnaise military information in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Abide by the order!"

...

When everyone dispersed, Zhu Youlang said to Wang Kun: "Transfer the order and announce Ma Jixiang to meet him."

"Abide by the order!" Wang Kun bowed and agreed, and went out to pass the order.

Just now, Zhu Youlang's arrangement was very meaningful. First of all, although Ding Kuichu was the chief minister, he was a famous treacherous minister in history. In history, after Emperor Yongli fled to Wuzhou, this guy secretly surrendered to Li Chengdong with more than 300 ships of gold and silver, but was dismembered by Li Chengdong and died without a complete body.

Legend has it that the gold and silver totaled 200,000 taels of gold and 2.4 million taels of silver, all of which were his income from selling official positions and corruption.

Zhu Youlang had to guard against such a person, and it was his own nest. Putting Qu Shisi in Zhaoqing City meant surveillance. However, there was no doubt about Qu Shisi's loyalty, but his ability was unknown, so he had to take another insurance.

Second, Ma Jixiang had been following his father and son when he was in Hengyang, loyalty and diligent. He had to develop intelligence and spy networks to serve as his eyes and ears. He had just announced in the hall that he was actually giving him a name, and some secret tasks had to be arranged privately.

As for whether Ji Gang's disaster in the early Ming Dynasty will happen, I don't care about it now. How can I care about so much when the storm is in turmoil?
