Chapter IX Obstructing the Reconciliation

Zhu Youlang's words are very clear: "This matter is kept confidential, you, Chen Bangyan, shouldn't have asked at all."

It not only covers up his foresight, but also seems unpredictable and profound. It has to be said that Zhu Youlang is very skillful in this trick.

"Do you still have any questions?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"No more." Chen Bangyan replied.

In fact, he had a question in his mind, how to grasp the timing of the attack? What should Zhu Yuyue do? But he hesitated for a moment and did not ask. Obviously, the best time to attack was after the Qing army destroyed the power center of the Shaowu Dynasty, and before the large group of Qing soldiers entered the city. Judging from the emperor's meaning, he was confident and did not need to ask. As for Zhu Yuyue, it was the same whether he asked about this matter or not. The emperor must not say anything else. It was impossible to say it, and he, a loyal minister, needed to stand up. As for blocking the Qing army outside the city, appease the people in Guangzhou city, and attracting the civil and military officials of the Shaowu Dynasty to be used by him, this is also a big article, and he must help plan it himself.

"Jiao Aiqing, I have been worried about a question. Can our soldiers fight?" Zhu Youlang turned his head and asked Jiao Lian.

Jiao Lian's official position was the governor and Tongzhi. Among the military generals of the Yongli Dynasty, he was only inferior to Yang Guowei. The Bai brothers served as attending generals and were both Jiao Lian's capable subordinates.

"Reply to the emperor, most of our soldiers and generals have never been on the battlefield, and some have never seen blood at all. Therefore, if they face the Tartars, the situation is not optimistic." Jiao Lian replied with a worried look on his face.

After hearing Jiao Lian's words, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but sink his center: "I haven't been to the battlefield or seen blood. Such an army needs to be dispersed like tofu shit. If you want to conquer the world, you must have an army that is good at fighting tough battles. This is the most important thing. However, if you want to train the army yourself, you must wait for this battle. What should you do now?"

Zhu Youlang stood up from the chair and thought anxiously while walking: "Is there any way for these soldiers to see blood first? Soldiers who have never seen blood often have psychological barriers when they kill people for the first time. Once they kill people with their own hands, they will break through this barrier. When they start, their hands will not tremble and their feet will not be soft. Although they cannot compare with the Qing soldiers who have experienced many battles, they can barely use it."

"Chen Aiqing, I wonder if there are any death row prisoners in the prison?" Zhu Youlang gradually had a bad idea.

"When I go back to the emperor, I don't know about other death row prisoners, but there are more than 500 rebels in the Jingjiang King now in charge of the military camp. They were escorted from Guangxi by me and General Jiao themselves." Chen Bangyan bowed and replied.

King Jingjiang was Zhu Hengjia, who proclaimed himself emperor in his fief Guilin. Because he adopted the Hongwu calendar, he denied all emperors except Taizu, so he was regarded as a rebellion by Emperor Longwu. Last year, he was destroyed by Qu Shisi, Yang Guowei and Jiao Lian.

"Oh." Zhu Youlang slowly sat back on the chair and said softly: "It's time for the soldiers to see the blood."

After saying that, he picked up the tea and took a sip.

Upon hearing this, Chen Bangyan said in his heart: "The emperor is so cruel! It seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal."

After thinking about it, I still replied with a clear understanding: "Yes, the emperor, I also feel that it is time for the soldiers to see the blood."

"Well, let's set off tomorrow morning. Send 600 people, led by Jiao Aiqing and Bai Gui, break it into pieces, and find a way to enter Guangzhou City in batches. Chen Aiqing and Bai Xing set out with me, Chen Aiqing arrested the general, Bai Xing was responsible for my safety. Let's go separately."

"I obey the order!"

The four bowed and bowed out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I will go with you too?" Seeing that everyone was leaving, Wang Kun asked quickly.

"Get out of your eggs! When your bad duck's voice spoke, why didn't you reveal your feelings immediately? Didn't I fall into the trap? Is it still using enemy soldiers to capture it?" Zhu Youlang cursed.

"But if I don't go, who will serve the emperor's daily life?" Wang Kun was scolded, but he didn't care and was still expressing his loyalty.

"I know your loyalty. However, you can't follow me this time. Please help me manage the affairs in the palace. Be careful not to let the queen mother and the queen know my true whereabouts. Just say that I have been visiting the wise." Zhu Youlang ordered.

He did not intend to tell the Queen Mother and the Queen, so as not to worry about the two women closest to him.

Although I had just come to this world and had no affection with these two people, in the original owner's memory, the empress dowager was kind and loved him very much, the queen was virtuous and attached to him very much.

"I obey the order!" Wang Kun agreed.

"Lin Hong!" Zhu Youlang shouted behind him again.

"I'm in a humble position!"

With a reply, a person suddenly turned from behind Zhu Youlang.

The man was wrapped in black clothes, leaving only his face outside. He was tall, but he moved quickly and silently, just like a shadow.

This person is Lin Hong, the leader of the "Shadow Guard".

There was a Ming generation, and the Jinyiwei guards were guarding the emperor's safety. However, the Jinyiwei was responsible for the guards on the surface and secretly had inner guards.

The guards in the inner squad are generally powerful martial arts, and are known as "shadow guards". The reason why they are called "shadow" guards is because they cannot be seen on the surface, but they protect the emperor's safety at all times in the dark.

They did not go to the Jinyiwei to dispatch them, but directly came to the emperor's command.

"Lin Hong, tomorrow you will choose a few capable subordinates to protect me secretly. Remember, you must not show your travels until you have to." Zhu Youlang ordered.

"Abide by the order!"

"Get out."

...

After a while, Lu Daqi asked for an order. After seeing Zhu Youlang, his face was anxious: "Your Majesty, it's not good. More than 500 rebel soldiers imprisoned in Jiao Lian's army mutiny!" As the Minister of War, Lu Daqi naturally reported the affairs of the army.

"Oh? How is it now?" Zhu Youlang pretended to be surprised and asked quickly.

"It has been calmed down by General Jiao, the two Generals Bai led their troops."

"Oh, that's good."

"However, the emperor, the three generals killed too much, which hindered the harmony. Not only did more than 500 people kill all of them, most of them were different from each other, and some of their bodies were stabbed by swords and guns, and they were all rotten into pieces of minced meat! I want to write about them." Although Lu Daqi, as the head of the Ministry of War, was a literati after all, and he was still very angry when he was talking about the bloody scene.

"Grandma is a literati, and her heart is too soft. I don't know that killing too much will hinder the harmony? However, in order to let the soldiers see blood, how can we talk about the kindness of women?" Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

"Oh, Lu Aiqing, rebellion and mutiny were first, and the three generals were killed later. Although there were some mistakes, there was a reason for the incident. Moreover, the mutiny spun and fluctuated, which did not cause chaos in Zhaoqing City. If the merit was greater than the fault, don't pursue it." Zhu Youlang was the initiator, so he naturally had to say good things to the specific executor.
