Eight hundred and fifty-seven, the second round of the Northern Expedition begins

On October 23, Xiao Ruxun led his army to Nanjing. Jiang Dahai and Chai Guozhu organized an entry ceremony together to welcome Xiao Ruxun to lead the army to fight against rebellion into Nanjing.

Afterwards, Xiao Ruxun led the civil servants and military generals to worship the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in Xiaoling Mausoleum, and presented the tribute to the Ming Dynasty, which was called the Ming Dynasty's rebellion, Chen Yiguan and reshape the style of the dynasty. He had no choice but to raise troops to disturb Emperor Taizu's peace and hope that Emperor Taizu would be able to live.

Afterwards, Xiao Ruxun held a banquet to entertain the civil and military officials gathered in Nanjing, conveying everyone a bright vision of the future. He welcomed all those who supported the fight against rebellion and Chen Yiguan to join the fight against rebellion. He absolutely welcomed it.

Ye Mengxiong personally took action and persuaded more than 100 Nanjing officials who had been detained in the cell before. Seeing this, they no longer hesitated when they saw Ye Mengxiong endorsing his letter and were willing to join Xiao Ruxun's team. Most of the officials captured along the way who were unwilling to follow Xiao Ruxun were persuaded by Ye Mengxiong.

Only a small number of deadly members were left, and they fiercely criticized Xiao Ruxun with the idea of ​​"the master was named without name". Ye Mengxiong could not persuade him, so let's forget it, keep locked up and give them food and drinks, so they don't care.

In fact, most of these people are seeking fame and reputation, and most of them are just waiting and watching. How can people who truly have a desperate ambition and never want to surrender constantly eat and drink?

He even deliberately cut off his food rations and yelled in prison, and he would yell if he didn't give him water to clean his body. Such people don't look like people who would seek death.

Keep him in touch for a while!

At a banquet in Nanjing, Xu Hongji, on behalf of the Duke of Wei's mansion, supported Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition, saying that Chen Yichang was a rebellious, conspired to abolish the emperor, and was ruthless. Xiao Ruxun was a loyal minister and was righteous in his scruples to fight against the rebellion. Xu Hongji was also willing to help Xiao Ruxun fight against the rebellion together.

Ye Mengxiong also expressed his opinion, praised Xiao Ruxun's innocent heart, and called on everyone to help him and fight against rebellion, and never tolerated any traitorous person. Chen Yiguan did such a scandal and must be attacked, otherwise the world will no longer be the world of Ming Dynasty.

In addition, they also jointly sent letters to many prefectures that still obeyed the orders of the northern court, explaining their hopes, and warned the officials of these prefectures not to continue to be obsessed with them, not to be loyal to Chen, to recognize the current situation, be loyal and treacherous, and to contribute to the great cause of the Northern Expedition together.

The civil and military leaders in Nanjing all spoke to support Xiao Ruxun. No matter what others think, Xiao Ruxun’s name of Fengtian’s rebellion is confirmed. At least in Nanjing, no one will continue to say that Xiao Ruxun is rebellious.

Officials from other places saw the joint letters of these two Jiangnan bosses. It is really unknown whether they will continue to obey the orders of the court in the north.

If Chen Yiguan issues any edict to rebel, there will be no market. Xiao Ruxun directly regards the little Emperor Taichang as Chen Yiguan's puppet, and compares it directly to Emperor Xian of Han. It is a toy that everyone controls. To be loyal to the little emperor is to be loyal to Chen Yiguan.

Everyone is a seven-foot man with their own ideals. It is appropriate to be loyal to the emperor, but what does it mean to be loyal to him in a consistent way?

If you cannot do this, you must firmly refuse to admit that the edicts delivered by Chen Yiguan under the name of the puppet little emperor are all Chen Yiguan's selfishness, not the emperor's will, not the will of the court.

This declaration was made in this way, which was a move against the legitimacy of the Chen Yiguan government, refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the Chen Yiguan government and the young emperor, and also promulgating such a declaration in a city of very political significance like Nanjing. The situation of confrontation between the north and the south was formed.

On the 25th, Xiao Ruxun announced that the second round of Northern Expedition had officially begun. He issued a declaration of another Northern Expedition in front of the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang in Xiaoling, pointing out that the goal was to attack the capital, to attack the capital in the northern expedition, kill the traitor Chen Yiguan, and to welcome the Supreme Emperor to ascend the throne again.

By this time, no one doubted that Xiao Ruxun would be unable to eliminate Chen Yiguan. After all, the strength of both sides was already in front of him. The leadership of the suffrage army sent by the Chen Yiguan government had been taken down, and no civil servants led by Li Hualong ran away, except for the unlucky Yangzhou prefect who was killed.

Li Hualong himself and the officials who have been imprisoned to this day were still pulled to Xiaoling by Xiao Ruxun at this time. Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's tombstone, Xiao Ruxun scolded him loudly, scolded him for being heartless, and actually served a traitor.

Li Hualong refused to admit it at all and squirted at Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun asked him to serve the traitors, regardless of the safety of the current Supreme Emperor, only his own power and status in his eyes, and how could he bark in front of Emperor Taizu's tombstone.

Li Hualong still refused and scolded Xiao Ruxun for angrily whine, wanting to tell Emperor Taizu about his innocence. At this time, this was meaningless. Li Hualong was taken down and detained and taken into strict supervision.

The remaining twelve officials who were considered useless by Xiao Ruxun were beheaded and sacrificed for the flag, with the reason being that they would not repent when they were rebellious.

Ignoring their crying, Xiao Ruxun still ordered them to behead them and sacrifice their flags to drive for the army.

The overall situation has been decided, and everyone can predict the future direction.

So the officials in Nanjing were excited. They all found Xiao Ruxun, hoping to work in front of the army and hold some important positions, without any concealment of the desire in their eyes.

Obviously, they have set their sights on Xiao Ruxun, who can hold power in the future.

Xiao Ruxun said that she wanted to keep them in Nanjing to do things, but they all shook their heads and said they were willing to follow the army north, and none of them were willing to stay.

This is normal.

Nanjing has a political team that almost replicates the northern capital. However, due to historical reasons, Nanjing officials are nicknamed as nursing homes for officials. They have six ministers and should have official positions. However, except for Nanjing Minister of War and Nanjing left behind, other official positions are just like a look.

The officials who came here were either old and really came to retire, or they were young shrimps who failed in political struggles or were involved in it. Each of them was a political frustrated person, and a considerable number of them had the idea of ​​returning to the capital and starting their political career again.

At this moment, the imperial court in the capital was controlled by Chen Yiguan. The officials in which the real power were all Chen Yiguan's accomplices. Whether they were actively following the thief or passively following the thief, as long as Xiao Ruxun wins and captures the capital, it is obvious that few of these people will have a good ending.

And this is the opportunity for Nanjing officials. If they overturn the court in the north, they can fill it up and fill the vacant power vacuum. This is obviously a very good opportunity, and there is no second chance in this time.

Many Nanjing officials have grudges with the current officials in the capital. Seeing that they are in trouble now, they don’t know how happy they are. How can they not participate in such a good thing?

The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. Xiao Ruxun, who holds hundreds of thousands of troops, will surely succeed in the Northern Expedition of the Capital, and Chen Yiguan will inevitably fall. As long as they follow Xiao Ruxun closely, they will definitely achieve a gorgeous reversal from the loser to the winner!

And you must be fast, fast, accurate, and ruthless!

First come first served!

Whoever performs better can get a higher position. After all, only in the capital can you truly gain power!
Chapter completed!
