Lin Li took the tiger talisman, and Xu Yan's hand began to hang down weakly.
Xu Chu seemed to have settled his worries and finally took his last breath. His grandson Xu Pengju stood beside him, his eyes were red, but he did not let tears fall!
"Grandpa has told me that the Duke of Wei has been deeply favored by the emperor and has been favored by the emperor for generations. In the current national crisis, the Duke of Wei will follow the regent to the death!"
Xu Pengju speaks sonorously and forcefully, and has a military demeanor!
"Can the old prince decide on a successor?" Lin Li put away the tiger talisman and asked Xu Pengju.
Xu Pengju paused for a moment, and then said: "Grandpa has decided that I will take over as Duke of Wei!"
Lin Li nodded and said: "You may control the Duke of Wei!"
Xu Peng nodded with a heavy weight and said: "Grandpa has arranged everything before his death. There is no problem for me to take over the Duke's Mansion!"
The Marquis Gate is as deep as the sea, not to mention the Duke's Mansion. This inner residence is no less dirty than the royal family.
Lin Li said: "If that's the case, I won't be polite!"
"Now that the country is in crisis, the funeral of the old Duke will be kept simple. After the rebellion is suppressed, I will personally support the funeral of the old Duke!"
Xu Pengju knew that the current situation was special and did not dare to ask for too much!
Lin Li continued: "I want to know the strength of Nanjing's garrison as soon as possible!"
Xu Pengju said: "I have followed my grandfather since I was a child, and I am very familiar with Nanjing's military power. If the regent has any questions, you can ask me!"
Lin Li smiled and said: "Okay, then I will appoint you as the counter-rebellion marshal and command the three armies. If you have any problems in the future, please report directly to me!"
Next, Lin Li asked some more questions about the rebels¡¯ movements, and then took Xu Pengju to the Nanjing Palace!
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing and built a majestic palace. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Peiping, and the palace became vacant. Lin Li just came and came in handy!
After Lin Li moved into the palace, he immediately summoned the six ministers of Nanjing to discuss the military situation!
Most of the six ministers are old and have retired from Beijing. There are also some political losers who have been demoted to Nanjing for retirement!
Most of them were careless and had no idea how to resist the incoming rebels. Lin Li quickly gave up on them and took over the military and political power of Nanjing!
Among the six ministers, there was one person who aroused Lin Li's idea. He was Wang Hua, the minister of civil affairs in Nanjing.
This man was the number one scholar during the Chenghua period. He originally had a great future, but because he offended Liu Jin, he was demoted to Nanjing. Later, he voluntarily retired and went home to retire.
Later, Liu Jin was overthrown and Wang Hua was reinstated. Originally, he was not involved in the rebellion, but as soon as he heard about King Ning's rebellion, Wang Hua left his family behind and came to Nanjing to resume his official position, vowing to live and die with the city of Nanjing. !
After Lin Li arrived, he found that only Wang Hua and Xu Pengju in Nanjing could help him.
Wang Hua and Xu Pengju, both civil and military, are somewhat like Xiao He and Han Xin in the Han Dynasty!
After Lin Li identified the people who could help him, he sent the others away and had a private meeting with Wang Hua and Xu Pengju!
The venue for the meeting was quite special, Lin Li chose it on the Nanjing Tower!
The three of them stood on the city tower and pushed the guarding soldiers away. Then Lin Li looked towards the distant horizon and said to Wang Hua:
"Wang Shangshu, how is the food and grass in the city, and how many weapons are there?"
Wang Hua replied without thinking: "Nanjing is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a large amount of food and grass stored in the city, which is enough for the entire city's soldiers and civilians for half a year. The Ministry of War has stocked up ordnance, enough to recruit a hundred thousand troops!"
Lin Li asked Xu Pengju again: "How is Nanjing's military strength now?"
Xu Pengju confidently said: "Nanjing has a standing army of 50,000 people, but each prince's palace and the Marquis' Mansion has its own guards, who can join the imperial army to suppress the rebellion at any time!
In addition, as Nanjing is the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, many people in the city are willing to join the army. There should be no problem in recruiting an army of 50,000 people in a short period of time! "
Lin Li nodded and said, "How strong are the rebels?"
Xu Pengju said: "The Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king. Their strength ranged from high to low. Most of them were composed of royal guards. They ranged from a few thousand to more than ten thousand troops. Only King Ning and King Taiping had the most troops!
King Ning raised 60,000 troops and came all the way from Nanchang Mansion to Nanjing. He also spent a lot of money to recruit new soldiers. According to the spies' reports, King Ning's troops are now close to 130,000! It is known to the outside world as two hundred thousand! "
Lin Li snorted coldly: "The new recruits are untrained and just stragglers. They are not worth mentioning. No matter how many there are, they are nothing to be afraid of!"
Xu Pengju agreed: "The Regent has great opinion, the real enemy of the imperial court is not Prince Ning, but Prince Taiping!"
King Taiping has been ruling the Western Frontier for generations, and he has a close relationship with Xia Youlong, the general of the Western Frontier.He acted like a traitor and controlled the imperial army.
In this rebellion, King Taiping did not know what method he used. He directly stole the 80,000 elite soldiers guarding the western border of the imperial court for himself, and marched towards Nanjing in a mighty manner.
These 80,000 are elite men, and one can be as good as ten. They are different from Prince Ning's more than 100,000 Caotai team.
Lin Li came to Nanjing because he really wanted to be the King of Peace!
"Where are King Taiping's troops now?" Lin Li asked Xu Pengju.
Xu Pengju immediately replied: "According to the spies' report, King Taiping's army is approaching Xiangyang, but among the eighteen rebels against the king, King Taiping is the farthest and King Ning is the closest!
King Ning¡¯s army can reach Nanjing City in less than half a month! "
Lin Li said in confusion: "It stands to reason that King Ning's army should have arrived early in the morning. Why did they wait until now? But something happened in the middle."
Xu Pengju looked at Wang Hua on the side, and said with a strange expression: "I heard that King Ning's army was halfway through, and received news that the imperial army was attacking Nanchang. King Ning was hesitant, and the army stopped moving forward, so it was delayed! "
Lin Liqi asked: "When did the imperial court send troops to attack Nanchang Mansion? Which army was it?"
Xu Pengju looked at Wang Hua again, the weird look on his face became even stronger!
Wang Hua stood up and said to Lin Li: "It was the rebel army led by my son Shouren who pretended to attack Nanchang and held back King Ning's army!"
"Your son?" Lin Li asked curiously: "Which son?"
Wang Hua said proudly: "The censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Shouren!"
Lin Li suddenly realized: "It turns out to be him!"
Wang Shouren, whose real name is Wang Yun, courtesy name Bo'an, and nickname Yangming, is the son of Wang Hua. He is also the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate personally appointed by Emperor Zhengde, and the governor of Southern Jiangxi. He was previously responsible for wiping out gangsters in Jiangxi!
Since Wang Shouren took office, he has made great achievements in wiping out a large number of bandits, so Lin Li also knows about him.
Emperor Zhengde himself loved military affairs, so he would look at people who could fight in a different light.
Wang Shouren's military tactics were strange and arbitrary, and he was known as a "cunning soldier", which could be regarded as an appetite for righteousness.
Originally, Zhengde wanted to recall Wang Shouren to the capital as an official, but he did not expect to die young!
The reason why Lin Li knows Wang Shouren so well is not because he knows how to fight, but because he has such a great reputation!
Wang Shouren¡¯s reputation is not in contemporary times, but in future generations!
In later generations, Wang Shouren was hailed as the most outstanding thinker, writer, military strategist, and educator in the Ming Dynasty.
His reputation spread far and wide overseas, and he was even regarded as an idol by a generation of Japanese military gods!
Many people even worship Wang Shouren as a saint!
The "Xinxue" he pioneered had a profound influence on the Ming Dynasty and even later generations!
When Lin Li came to this world, the person he most wanted to see was this "saint".
It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect to meet the ¡°saint¡±¡¯s father first! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
