Chapter seven hundred and twentieth: the teacher has nothing to do

If you have leg problems, go to Nanchang?

Zhang Sheng looked at Xiao Jing.

Can't believe it.

The prince brought a few entourages and had his own son.

He couldn't believe it.

But... I have to believe it.

Xiao Jing won’t joke, just check this matter and you will know it.

Zhang Sheng felt very upset and wanted to cry.

Looking for death, this is looking for death.

King Na Ning colluded with the Poyang Lake thieves and the Ning Wangwei, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Perhaps, King Ning had already rebelled now. At this time, when he went to Nanchang, he still claimed to kill King Ning. Isn’t this just seeking death?

Zhang Sheng wants to die.

He looked at Emperor Hongzhi at a loss.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Go and prepare quickly."

The imperial edict came out in an instant.

For a moment, there was a lot of controversy in Beijing.

But Your Majesty was determined to do his own thing. On that day, the British Duke Zhang Mao visited the three thousand camps on behalf of the emperor. The next morning, the three thousand camps began.

What the Ming Dynasty pursued was the strategy of the emperor guarding the country's borders.

In fact, this is more like a continuation of the Song Dynasty's strategy of strong trunk and weak branches.

During the Song Dynasty, a large number of troops gathered in the capital and were firmly controlled by the royal family, so that border towns and local prefectures had almost no soldiers available. Once wartime, the troops were drawn from Kaifeng, and the dispatch of the army was extremely complicated. This was also the reason why there were millions of imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, but in fact, they did not have strong control over border towns.

Emperor Wen learned this lesson. On the one hand, the elite of the Ming Dynasty could not form a vassal state and was eventually controlled by the military generals in the border town. Since this is the case, he simply decided to be in the north where the Ming Dynasty had the greatest hidden dangers, that is, Beijing City.

In this way, the capital is very close to the front line, and the most elite troops in the world are stationed in the capital, so the court can control it at any time without worrying about the situation of a vassal state. Because the capital is only a few days away from the border town, you can leave the customs after walking from Beijing for one or two days. Therefore, once there is a war, the court can call the Beijing camp to provide assistance at any time. Even in normal times, the Beijing camp and the border town can change defenses back and forth without much cost.

This national policy not only learned the lessons of the demise of the Tang Dynasty and the local generals who held their own troops. It also learned the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty being strong and weak, and even the Northern Song Dynasty being passively beaten everywhere.

However... this also led to a fatal flaw, that is, although the border towns are solid. However, because the elite soldiers in the world gather in the capital and border towns, in the south, especially in the Jiangnan area, most of them are mainly ordinary military guards. These military horses have almost no salary and are chaotic in management. They are considered to be militias. This is the direct reason why a mere Japanese pirate caused chaos in the southeast. Can a group of farmers expel the water pirates?

The reason why King Ning's rebellion has caused turmoil in the court is that King Ning has been planning for a long time. His Ning Wang Guard must be elite and secretly contacted the water thieves. There is almost no official military guard station on the front line of Jiangnan. The only military horse that can fight is the only combat power. There are only some guards guarding Nanjing, and they can still fight.

If the imperial court wants to attack King Ning, it must draw the Beijing camp of the capital. However, the emperor needs to be prepared for the border towns. The Beijing camp cannot draw too many people.

Now... the problem is solved.

Your Majesty personally led the army to fight, so the three thousand camps, the five military camps, the warrior camps, the cavalry camps, the Shenji camps, and the Jinwu Guards all came out.

The emperor personally led the army to fight, but the mobilization was extremely rapid.

Zhang Mao led his army to set off shortly.

Emperor Hongzhi had already left the capital as he walked, and the mighty warrior camp was escorted. Zhang Mao was the vanguard. The emperor took the central army, and the left and right wings were the elite three thousand battalions. After that, the backbone of the five military camps in various places was drawn out.

This time, Emperor Hongzhi was determined to reward the soldiers and take out the treasury, which made the ministers and the various cabinet departments feel a little more comfortable.

Your Majesty has money.

Everyone has calculated privately that the amount of the deposit in the treasury is at least more than 6 million taels. This is too amazing. Not to mention the amazing returns of the inner court now, the most terrifying thing is that His Majesty only enters and does not leave.

Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites, Ma Wensheng, Minister of War, and Ouyang Zhi, the Hanlin Secretariat, all accompanied him.

Because the central army set out very quickly, it took only two or three days to leave Beijing. The Warriors' Battalion and the Jinwu Guard were all around. The more than 10,000 troops and horses were 20,000 and 3,000 battalions and some of the five military camps to protect the wings. There were also the Knights' Battalion as the vanguard in front, and then there were 60,000 to 70,000 barracks, and the food and grass were not dispatched. Although the Ministry of War had recruited people from all over the place to quell the rebellion and had some supplies along the way, they wanted to maintain tens of thousands of troops and were still in a shortage. Therefore, the Five Military Camps behind the rear team deliberately slowed down their pace of departure.

It was just that the emperor insisted on his own initiative and insisted on the vanguard and the central army to go first, which caused great concern.

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi was always willing to listen to and adopt the suggestions of his ministers, but recently, he has begun to "restrainedly" more and more, and the ministers can't stop him at all and can do nothing to him.

After leaving the capital, Emperor Hongzhi just ordered the army to move quickly. The army walked too fast, and the left and right wings had to speed up. When Zhang Mao, the vanguard, saw that his Majesty's army was about to catch up, so he had to speed up his speed. The crazy scouts wandered around the prefectures along the way. Because of the rapid progress, they needed to inquire everywhere faster to prevent possible enemy situations.

Emperor Hongzhi rode on his horse.

Sitting on the horse, he was panting. Xiao Jing, who followed, was urging him to ask His Majesty to be a good carriage, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand so that when he got off the horse one day, he felt that his thighs on both sides were worn out and bruised. He gritted his teeth and asked someone to apply it with a hot towel to relieve it.

At this time, Ouyang Zhi had just set up camp and did not go to eat. His right hand was still bandaged like a pig's elbow.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Didn't the two strands of the Qing family wear out? Hey... do you want to apply them too?"

Ouyang Zhi said: "Your Majesty, I have been accustomed to the archery and horse for a long time, and I don't think there is anything abnormal."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "I heard that Taizu won the world at the first time, but today I know how hard it is to be on the horse..." He was in a bad mood and was depressed. If the sky was not going to be dim, he would even want to urge the central army to travel dozens of miles more quickly.

Ouyang Zhi glanced at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I want to come and be anxious for His Royal Highness."

"This little beast." Emperor Hongzhi cursed: "If I knew he was like this, I really wished I could drown him."

After scolding him, he did not relieve his hatred, but suddenly sighed: "But even an animal has the desire to suck his calf. No matter how naughty the prince is, he is my son, my flesh and blood. He is naughty, I neglect him and did not educate him to become a talent. This is my responsibility. He always insists on his own and is eager to make contributions. I think, maybe I am really wrong. Sometimes I am too harsh on him and always hope that he can be a perfect person. The pressure is too great. After all, he is just a young man, how can he bear it? When I was underage, I suffered a lot, so I can tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate. But he was spoiled by me and her mother since childhood. But now I have grown up a little, but I also hope that he can be a good prince, just like when I was the prince, this..."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he shook his head.

"It's me that I'm wrong. Since I'm wrong, I have to make up for it. I have to find him back. He can't die."

Ouyang Zhi said: "With mentor here, your highness will definitely not be in trouble."

Emperor Hongzhi has always wondered why Ouyang Zhi was not anxious at all when he learned that the prince and Fang Jifan had gone to Nanchang Prefecture. Now that he heard Ouyang Zhi's words, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "You are not worried at all?"

Ouyang Zhi shook his head: "My teacher will not be in trouble."

"What if there is anything?" Emperor Hongzhi was not satisfied with this dry answer.

Ouyang Zhiru repeater, the kind that was slightly stuck: "The teacher will not be in trouble."

Emperor Hongzhi was desperate, so he gave up and continued to ask, saying, "I want to go to bed earlier, and I will still have to rush to go tomorrow."

He sighed, and was full of thoughts.

...

Outside the big tent, Ma Wensheng's eyes were covered with blood and he was a little angry because the army was too anxious, the Ministry of War was not prepared enough, the tents prepared were insufficient, and most of the food and grass were old grains in the warehouse. Military generals everywhere surrounded him and complained in a verbal manner.

Since Ma Wensheng dared not say that you went to the emperor, it is no wonder that I am the official. He can't say that you can eat*.

But I had to be kind and said: "The community is difficult, the community is difficult, and it is difficult to raise troops for a thousand days, and the use of troops for a while... Alas..."

After finally breaking away from these military generals, the tent was not enough. He lived in the same tent with Zhang Sheng. He lifted the curtain and went in. He saw Zhang Sheng carrying his back and wiped his tears. Ma Wensheng sighed again: "What kind of life is this... Mr. Zhang, stop crying, and he can't cry even if he cries."

Zhang Sheng burst into tears: "Black picture, you don't know now. My son has a leg disease. He went to Nanchang Mansion... Alas... Ning Wang's wolf ambition, once he noticed them, how could he let them go easily?"

Ma Wensheng didn't want to listen to his nagging. When he was accompanying him during the day, he had already read enough to listen to Emperor Hongzhi's rumor.

The matter of the prince going to Nanchang without authorization was a secret, but only a few people knew about it. Therefore, Your Majesty could only tell the limited number of people that he was a victim.

"Oh my God." Ma Wensheng hammered his heart: "God is not kind, why are children now so upset? It is better to raise a dog."

Zhang Sheng said resentfully: "My son is not a dog."

Ma Wensheng was exhausted. His Majesty was just in charge of going to the war, but he needed to be dispatched. Moreover, the central army was the Warriors' Camp and the Jinwu Guard. They were not under the jurisdiction of the Minister of War. They were not as polite as the Minister of War, and they were the Minister of War. They were not as polite as the Minister of War. They lived well and were not full. They wanted to curse their mothers. They walked for another day and were so tired that they simply ignored Zhang Sheng who was sobbing, and they did not take off their boots. They fell asleep after a while. After a while, they snored.

Zhang Sheng had no choice but to worry, and he could barely fall asleep with the snoring.
