Along the way from Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhixiang already knew not to blindly believe in history books.

The real history needs to be corroborated with each other and explored based on the objective laws of development. The same is true for historical figures. Everyone must look at it in the context of that era. Don't just look at the evaluation, and don't just listen to whether the person is good or bad.

Zhu Qizhen has been ridiculed on the Internet for being called the Son of Heaven, but few people really understand Tumubao.

The Internet has always said that Jiajing cultivated immortality in his later years and allowed the court to stir up troubles. But they didn’t know that in the 21st year of Jiajing’s reign, the Renyin Palace changed. Jiajing was strangled to death by a palace maid and had no breath. The palace maid only went to report him when he was cold. The hospital did not rescue him.

It was Xu Shen, the imperial physician he promoted himself, who rescued Jiajing with a dose of medicine. However, Xu Shen died suddenly a few months later.

According to historical records, Jiajing was "almost exhausted" at the time.

To be honest, if Taoist Jiajing hadn't really had some cultivation skills, even if Xu Shen took action, he probably wouldn't have been able to save him. Putting this situation aside, if you don't hide from the Taoist temple, how dare you live in the palace?

If he hides in a Taoist temple and doesn't go to court, he just doesn't care?

Then you have underestimated Jiajing.

Although the Taoist priest cultivates immortality, he is not a clay Bodhisattva. He has died once, how can he come back without fighting? When the struggle was at its most intense, the Jiajing Japanese Rebellion broke out...

Zhang Zhixiang based his research on historical events and made judgments based on the current situation.

What is certain is that Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou are loyal people. At least in the future, they will help Jiajing fight against Nanjing.

so.

When Yu Dayou came to surrender and directly stated that he had been ordered by the Ministry of War to intercept Da Fangfeng, Zhang Zhixiang understood that Yu Dayou must have seen the true colors of those people and refused to join in the conspiracy.

Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.

Inviting Yu Dayou into the garden, they learned on the way that Yu Dayou had gone to Yingtianfu Military Department to report that he would inherit the position of one hundred households in Quanzhou because of his father's death. He used to be a "scholar".

"Has Zhifu read military books?"

"I studied "Sun Tzu" with Mr. Xuzhou. Under the guidance of Mr. Xuzhou, I combined Yi studies with the art of war. I should be considered a good soldier. When I was young, I often trained with soldiers. It is shameful to say that I indulged myself when I was young. I once hid it from my father.

Although it was a ridiculous thing to lead troops to suppress bandits, fortunately, we won several battles without losing any soldiers."

"Zhifu has attacked a hundred households, but does he have the ambition to conquer a hundred people?"

"Even if there are thousands of people, you can still give it a try."

"really?"

"……really!"

The two exchanged just a few words. Yu Dayou originally thought that Zhang Zhixiang was looking after him, but later he discovered that this was not the case. He was obviously a "surrendered general" and had just surrendered, but Zhang Zhixiang actually intended to entrust the army to him?

Did I think wrong?

Yu Dayou was a little uneasy until Zhang Zhixiang brought him to Wang Yuanzhi and Xu Ding and said seriously: "Uncle Wang, General Xu, we still lack a general for this trip north."

"You're thinking……"

Wang Yuanzhi asked and looked at Yu Dayou.

Xu Ding was stunned for a moment and asked: "Shouldn't the commander be Fangfeng?"

He had never thought about being a general. After all, for an unparalleled general like Fangfeng, Xu Ding was willing to be his deputy. But where did this man come from, so he was so valued by the Little Heavenly Master? Could it be that the Little Heavenly Master was influenced by this person?

deceive?

Zhang Zhixiang bowed to Xu Ding and said, "The commander-in-chief is you, General Xu."

"ah?"

Xu Ding felt flattered, and then said sensibly: "That general should be..."

He originally wanted to say that he would decide military affairs together with Da Fangfeng, but Zhang Zhixiang beat him to it and said: "I hope that the deputy will be Yu Dayou, and I also hope that General Xu will not hesitate to teach."

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone was in mixed moods. Xu Ding looked at Da Fangfeng awkwardly, and Da Fangfeng said in a loud voice: "I'm not good at leading troops. I just need to be a vanguard."

Xu Ding was relieved to see that Da Fangfeng didn't mind, but he was still wary of Yu Dayou, so he asked: "Who are you?"

"One hundred households in Quanzhou, Yu Dayou."

"Have Baihu... ever fought in a war?"

"The fight is about to begin."

"Oh, he's quite naughty, that little Heavenly Master, I'll take him out to practice. Is everything okay?"

Zhang Zhixiang said that there was no problem. He had given the opportunity to Yu Dayou. Yu Dayou was really capable and could naturally grasp it. As a "regular" general, Xu Ding's existence was very important.

After all, you have to learn to walk before you can run...

"How do you know that Yu Dayou is qualified for the position of deputy general?" Although Wang Yuanzhi was asking, it looked like he knew Yu Dayou well enough.

"Uncle Wang also thinks highly of him?"

"Well, I just remembered that this person is a close disciple of Zhao Benxue, a master of contemporary military art. We investigated him last year when we ranked the Blue Dragon Ranking. However, he had not entered the martial arts world at that time, so he was not included. In terms of strength, he should be

He is among the top ten in the supplementary book. Outside Zhengyang Gate, he was the one who blocked Dafangfeng's two shots."

After saying that, Wang Yuanzhi looked at Dafangfeng.

Da Fangfeng nodded and said: "It's very powerful. If Yu Dayou hadn't deliberately fought hard, I might not have been able to save my uncle that day. The weapon gap was also huge, and his sword was broken."

"He seems to be a righteous man."

Wang Yuanzhi agreed, and there was a lot of noise outside. They followed him out to check. The two fought, and Xu Ding lost. Now they were competing in battle formations. Each side led a team of Wang family guards to practice with wooden swords as weapons.

A battle of fifty men.

Naturally, they don't rush forward in a swarm. The Wang family's guards are of good quality and can perfectly display Xu Ding's command. They form a formation and press forward, with defense, suddenness and detour, and the rhythm is very smooth.

But I didn't expect that Yu Dayou also knew the formation.

Yu Dayou used exactly the same style of play, but the command rhythm was faster, one step first, each step first, and defeated Xu Ding directly from the front.

Xu Ding found Zhang Zhixiang and the others and said, "Please let General Yu take charge."

"You need General Xu to be mature and prudent."

However, Wang Yuanzhi did not agree. No matter what, Yu Dayou was also a newcomer and came alone. Compared with Xu Pengju, whose life and future were staked, the Xu family was naturally more trustworthy.

Yu Dayou has been accepted.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Yuanzhi said, "Let's go to the Yamen. Counting the time, Prince Huai should have arrived at Yingtian."

"Finish this case, bring the Denwen drum, and it's time for us to set off."

…

When Huai Wang Zhu Youhu entered the city, he received "warm hospitality" from the people. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs kept greeting him in the prison car. It was quite absurd that the majestic prince was put into the prison car before he was convicted.

one thing.

Zhu Youli was not angry, but closed his eyes in pain and couldn't bear to look any further.

I don't even want to listen more.

Because among those scoldings, some things were really done by his brother, some were pure slander, and some were wrong, but there were things, and Prince Huai's Mansion was indeed guilty, and he acknowledged this.

His brother is not a good person, but he is definitely a loyal minister. It is precisely because he actively helped His Majesty that he died young. Otherwise, he would just bully men and dominate women. How could these civil servants care...

After being caught in ignorance and encountering several assassinations on the road, Zhu Youxi gradually understood the matter.

Catching him is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking.

This is not to target the Huai Palace, but to defeat the emperor and cut down the feudal vassals.

Having already made up his mind, Zhu Youshu was brought to court and faced with the trial of three judges. He remained silent on all the charges, but he defended only one.

"Can the clan lose its tail? The imperial court spends a lot of money to raise the clan?"

"The lowest-level Lieutenant Feng Guo has a salary of 200 dan per year. Is he a worm in the imperial court?"

"You are so deceptive!"

"The fields of my clan in the Ming Dynasty all belong to the imperial village! The common people's land tax is 1 tax for thirty years, and the clan land is taxed 1 tax for every three years. Our salary comes from our own imperial village. Even if the salary is deducted, the tax paid is far higher than the ordinary land tax. "

"If there is no place for my clan, how many kilo of food can the household department have?"

"Just because we are blocking your way to make money, the clan and the imperial court are unwilling to give up land. Why? Are you so afraid that His Majesty will have money and food in his hands!"

(ps: The clans of the Ming Dynasty are different from the hard-core crops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. The clans of the Ming Dynasty expanded in the late Ming Dynasty, mainly to help the emperor control the land, which was regarded as an alternative to farming, so much so that during Wanli, he wanted to be crowned king. However, the imperial court refused to give him any land, and Wanli had to personally collect the land by ransacking his properties.)
