Chapter 129 The emperor returns to Beijing and is assassinated!
In August of the 15th year of Zhengtong, the Northern Expedition Army conquered triumphantly.
The war lasted five months, and four troops from the imperial court attacked at the same time, swept across the desert and completely eliminated the Northern Yuan forces.
The central army defeated the Ola head-on, and the Eastern Army drove the remnants of Tatars to the north of the Onon River, and the Western Army recovered Hami. At this point, the entire Hetao area, the south and north of the desert, and the Nuergandu Division were all included in the Ming Dynasty.
This is a merit that will be recorded in history!
The capital had been shocked for a long time. When he learned that the emperor had been triumphant, King Zhu Qiyu led all civil and military officials to go out to the city to welcome the emperor thirty miles away.
This is the second time I have been to the car, and I am familiar with it.
Zhu Qizhen's imperial chariot entered the city from Andingmen, and amid the cheers of the people in the city... an accident happened!
Whoosh!
A feather arrow broke through the air and flew straight towards Zhu Qizhen who was on the tall horse!
The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected that someone was secretly ambushing the king and preparing to assassinate the king!
Fan Zhong had no time to react and had to shout, "Prince, be careful!"
Zhu Qizhen subconsciously turned sideways, and the feather arrow flew over to the door of his face, nailing it to the plaque of the shop on the street.
"Protect the car, protect the car!"
Fan Zhong led his personal guards and gathered closely around Zhu Qizhen.
Yuan Bin rushed towards the place where the arrows flew over with the Jinyiwei.
It was a restaurant, and arrows flew out from the window on the third floor.
Zhu Qizhen came to his senses and his back was covered in cold sweat.
In broad daylight, someone actually assassinated!
What's going on?
The crowd was already panicked and the scene was very chaotic. Li Zhen rode forward, raised his knife, and shouted: "All the people, squat down!"
This voice was very good, and the people on the roadside squatted down and buried their heads low.
In this way, if a gangster is mixed in, he can only squat down and cannot continue to carry out the assassination operation.
The panic situation is temporarily under control.
On the other side, Yuan Bin had already come out of the restaurant with his men.
Behind him, two Jinyiwei were seen raising a man in black. The man in black was soft and seemed to be an assassin.
"Master, the assassin has caught it!"
Yuan Bin was holding a crossbow and a bloody dagger in his hand.
Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Yuan Bin replied: "The assassin saw that the assassin failed and had committed suicide!"
At this time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt a familiar face in the crowd, looking at him.
He looked in line with his eyes, and the two looked at each other, and the other shook his head gently, and then continued to lower his head.
The ultimate guard, Yang Zhicong!
Zhu Qizhen seemed to realize something and asked quickly: "Where is the assassin, bring it here!"
Yuan Bin waved his hand, and the two people behind him walked up with the assassin.
Zhu Qizhen looked at it and was suddenly shocked.
This person is wearing black clothes, has a small figure, and is obviously a woman.
When I looked at my face again, it turned out to be the No. 18 Spy, Song Guxi, whom I secretly trained!
He asked hurriedly, "Diet?"
Yuan Bin replied: "The wound is in the abdomen and there is still a breath!"
"Hurry up, go back to the palace immediately and order the imperial doctor to do his best to treat her. I want her to live!"
"yes!"
Yuan Bin waved his hand, and the two people behind him carried Song Guxi and ran towards the palace.
At this time, the Jinyiwei, Shuntian Prefecture, and 50% of the military commanders were dispatched, and the capital had all been fully martial law.
Zhu Qiyu, who was accompanying Zhu Qizhen, looked pale and didn't know what to do.
The last time the emperor returned from his personal expedition, he caught up with Cao Jixiang's bird men plotting to rebel.
Today is even more excessive. I went straight to assassination in the street. It is really hard to describe what I am like as a prisoner!
Zhu Qizhen said with a cold face, "Go back to the palace!"
The imperial guards opened the way, and the imperial chariot entered the palace gate. Fan Zhong said to the civil and military officials behind him: "The emperor has an order to send King Hui, Prince Jing'an, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to discuss matters!"
All civil and military officials were silent, and those who were named after the name were covered in dust and went to Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chaise, his face extremely ugly.
With such a big victory, the Triumph Army was treated like this!
Zhu Qiyu took the lead in kneeling and bowing: "My brother died ten thousand times, please punish him!"
The others also knelt behind Zhu Qiyu, not daring to show off.
Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "Don't die for the first time, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
"It's my brother...my brother...my brother...is not being supervised..."
Zhu Qiyu was sweating coldly, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Fu followed and said: "The old minister assisted King Zhuang Jianguo, but he did not notice in advance that anyone was assassinating. It was the old minister who dereliction of duty. Please punish the emperor!"
Cao Nai and others also expressed their willingness to bear the punishment.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I'll save you from nonsense, Yuan Bin!"
"I'm here!"
"Leave this matter to the Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly, and the five cities of the military personnel and Shuntian Mansion cooperate with each other!"
"Abide by the order!"
Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily and said, "Yexian's army of more than 100,000 people couldn't do anything to me, but unexpectedly, an assassin and a crossbow arrow almost killed me!"
Zhu Qiyu and others had bitter faces and were speechless.
"Okay, I will check this matter with the Jinyiwei!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said with an irritable look: "King Huang, tell me what's going on in the capital!"
"yes!"
Zhu Qiyu swallowed and said, "During this period of time, all the affairs of all sizes in the capital were resolved by my brothers, the Prince of Jing'an and the officials of the cabinet. First, the Yellow River in Huai'an Prefecture burst, and the Ministry of Works
The left minister Wang Yonghe went to control the water. The minister Wang did not care about his personal safety and worked with his servants, leading the people to block the mouth, build dikes, and build dikes, successfully avoiding the spread of the disaster. Secondly, a large-scale drought occurred in Kaifeng, Henan..."
Zhu Qizhen listened to it one by one, floods, droughts, locust plagues... all kinds of disasters are constantly coming. Fortunately, the national treasury is abundant this year, and some places are affected by disasters. The court directly allocated funds, and most of the disasters can be solved.
"Sixth, the Japanese disasters along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian are severe. The Prince of Jing'an proposed to add Japanese guards in Ningbo and Fuzhou to resist the invasion of Japanese pirates..."
"Wait a moment!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly interrupted him and asked: "The Japanese disease is severe. What is the serious law? Let me tell you in detail!"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "On June 12, the Japanese pirates landed in Fuzhou, and then left after plundering. On July 30, the Japanese pirates landed in Ningbo, looting the people along the coast, and guarding Nanjing. When Duke Xu Chengzong of Wei learned the news, he immediately sent troops.
When the bandits were suppressed, the thieves knew they were defeated and fled back to the sea. During this period, there were also news of small-scale Japanese pirates robbing in Taizhou, Quanzhou and other places."
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "I have my own plans to add equipment to the Japanese guards, and you can continue talking!"
"yes!"
Zhu Qiyu continued to report, but Zhu Qizhen could no longer listen and was full of thought about the Japanese pirates.
When the northern desert was pacified, the Ming Dynasty had no worries, and the next step was to sail.
At this time, Columbus was not born yet, and he had an old team of Zheng He who was voyage to the West. Whether it was navigation technology or treasure ship configuration, it was only better than the Western fleet.
