    If you have leg problems, why don¡¯t you go to Nanchang?

    Zhang Sheng looked at Xiao Jing.

    unbelievable.

    The prince took several retinues with him and had his own son.

    He couldn¡¯t believe it.

    But I have to believe it.

    Xiao Jing will not joke. You can find out this matter just by checking.

    Zhang Sheng felt his heart was filled with panic and wanted to cry.

    "You're looking for death, you're looking for death."

    King Ning has colluded with the Poyang Lake water thieves and King Ning's guards. The situation has become more and more serious. Perhaps King Ning has rebelled now. At this time, going to Nanchang and claiming to kill King Ning is not asking for death.  ?

    Zhang Sheng wants to die.

    He looked at Emperor Hongzhi helplessly.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "Go and prepare quickly."

    The edicts are issued all the time.

    Suddenly, Beijing was in an uproar.

    But His Majesty insisted on having his own way. On that day, the British Duke Zhang Mao inspected the Three Thousand Battalion on behalf of the Emperor. Early the next morning, the Three Thousand Battalion set off.

    What the Ming Dynasty pursued was the emperor¡¯s strategy of guarding the country.

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

    During the Song Dynasty, a large number of troops were gathered in the capital and were firmly under the control of the royal family, so that border towns and local prefectures had almost no troops available. Once war came, troops and horses were mobilized from Kaifeng, and the dispatch of the army was extremely difficult.  It was cumbersome, which was why even though there were millions of forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty, they actually did not have strong control over border towns.

    Emperor Wen learned this lesson. On the one hand, the elites of the Ming Dynasty could not form vassal towns, and were eventually controlled by the generals in border towns. In this case, the capital was simply located in the north where the greatest hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty were, that is, Beijing.

    In this way, the capital of the country is very close to the front line, and the most elite soldiers and horses in the world are stationed in the capital. The court can control it at any time without worrying about forming a vassal-town situation. And because the capital is only a few days away from the border towns, from Beijing  You can leave the customs after walking for a day or two. Therefore, if there is a war, the imperial court can call on the Beijing Camp to rush for reinforcements at any time. Even in peacetime, the Beijing Camp and the border towns can also switch defenses back and forth without much cost.

    This national policy has learned the lesson that led to the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the local generals relied on their own troops.  It also absorbed the strong branches and weak branches of the Northern Song Dynasty, so that the Northern Song Dynasty was passive and beaten everywhere.

    But this also led to a fatal flaw, that is, although the border town is impregnable.  But because all the elite soldiers in the world are gathered in the capital and border towns, the south, especially the Jiangnan area, is mostly composed of ordinary military guards. These military horses have almost no salary and disorderly management. Even if they are called militia, they can be regarded as highly regarded.  .  This is the direct reason why a mere Japanese pirate caused chaos in the southeast. Can a group of farmers drive away the water pirates?

    Now that King Ning is in rebellion, the reason why the court is in turmoil is precisely because of this. King Ning has planned it for a long time. His guards of King Ning must be elite, and they have secretly communicated with the water thieves. As for the official and military guards in the south of the Yangtze River,  There was almost no one who could fight. The only military horses with fighting ability were some guards guarding Nanjing who could still fight.

    If the imperial court wants to attack King Ning, it must mobilize the capital camp. However, when the emperor is in Beijing, border towns also need to be on guard. The capital camp cannot mobilize too many people.

    Nowthe problem is solved.

    His Majesty personally led the expedition, so three thousand battalions, including the Five Military Camps, Warrior Camps, Xiaoqi Camps, Shenji Camps, and Jinwu Guards, came out in full force.

    The imperial commander personally marched, and the mobilization was extremely rapid.

    Not long after Zhang Mao led his army to set off.

    Emperor Hongzhi left the capital as soon as he arrived, accompanied by a mighty warrior battalion. Zhang Mao was the vanguard. The emperor took himself as the center of the army, and the left and right wings were composed of three thousand elite battalions. After that, the backbones of the five military battalions from various places were mobilized.

    This time, Emperor Hongzhi decided to withdraw the internal funds for the rewards of the soldiers, which made the accompanying ministers and various cabinet ministries feel better.

    Your Majesty has money.

    Everyone has long been calculated in private. At least 60,000 in the depository of the Nei Crown, this number is too amazing. Now the income of the inner court is amazing. The most terrible thing is that His Majesty can only enter.

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

    Because the Chinese army set off very quickly, it took only two or three days to leave Beijing directly. The Warrior Battalion and Jinwu Guards accompanied them. These more than 10,000 troops were protected by 20,000 of the 3,000 Battalion and part of the Fifth Army Battalion.  Wings, with the Qiaoqi Battalion in front as the vanguard, and behind it, there are 675,000 or 75,000 military camps, which cannot be dispatched in time. Although the Ministry of War has previously recruited civilian forces everywhere in order to suppress the rebellion, providing supplies along the way., His Majesty can only tell a limited number of people that he is a victim.

    "Oh my god." Ma Wensheng said to himself: "God is unkind, why are children nowadays so troubled. Raising children is better than raising dogs."

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

    Ma Wensheng is exhausted. His Majesty is only responsible for the expedition, but he needs to be in the middle. Moreover, this army is the Warrior Camp and the Jinwu Guard, which are not under the jurisdiction of the Minister of War. They are not like the Beijing Camp. With him, the Minister of War  You're welcome, I didn't live well and didn't eat enough, so I'm going to scold my mother. After walking for another day, I was completely exhausted. I simply ignored Zhang Sheng who was sobbing. I didn't take off my boots and fell asleep. After a while, there was a sound.  snore.

    Zhang Sheng had no choice but to worry about it and reluctantly fell asleep with the snoring.
