Chapter 1145 Defection
"The emperor is very happy!"
Han Lai stumbled, ran into the palace, crawled on the ground, screaming excitedly. Wanli seemed to have just woken up from a dream, full of holes and swaying in the wind and rain, and his world was like a candle in the wind.
Without a trace of good news, Tang Yi's army of 100,000 had already set off from Tianjin, rode carriage, and quickly came to the capital. Perhaps it would not take long before the head would land.
Killing Wang Jiaping and driving Yang Junmin away did not win back the hearts of the people at all. On the contrary, he chose to betray the last little force. It was really uncomfortable to betray everyone!
"What else can I have for happiness?" Wanli sneered, full of self-deprecation.
Han Lai raised his head and his chest was straight, "Old Master, this is a real joy. General Gao won a big victory, and his traitor's spirit was severely defeated!"
"Take it seriously?" Wanli suddenly stood up and grabbed Han Lai tightly, as if he had caught a life-saving straw.
"General Gao really won?"
"The emperor, I did win." Han Lai said loudly: "General Han used his clever strategy to arrest the rebel spies who sneaked into the city, and then designed an ambush to lure the rebels into the city, killing seven or eight thousand, tens of thousands of people in one go!"
Xi Muyun's subordinates had not yet been 5,000, and they doubled all at once. Eunuch Han was simply sarcastic. Wanli didn't care. He only cared about one word: Win!
No matter how long it has been, I can't hear such good news.
If you can win once, you can win twice, three times, and if you keep winning, you can defeat Tang Yi... Wanli becomes more and more excited as he thinks about it. "Transfer my will and give General Gao the title of Taibao. Uh, no, he is Taishi, and is appointed as the Prince of Anguo. Tell him that as long as he can eliminate the rebels, I will not hesitate to be the prince..."
...
The opposite sex was named king. It was a great honor, and it hit Gao Yanbo's head.
"Congratulations to brother, for granting his wife and son, and from then on, he will be rich and prosperous!" Deputy General Ma Gui, congratulated him with his fists.
There was no trace of joy on Gao Yanbo's face, but instead there was a strong sense of ridicule.
"It's good to be the king, but you have to have the life to enjoy it!"
"Why did you say this?" Ma Gui said inconsolably.
Gao Yanbo sighed, "Brother, we brothers have been together for many years, and I have never played a fool with you. Tell me, can the court still hold on?"
"I can't hold on." Ma Gui said honestly: "Brother Gao, although we won a battle, there are still more than 100,000 people outside, such as Li Chengliang, Yang An, and Liu Jing. These are ten thousand times better than Xi Muyun. If we fight against them, I will have no confidence at all."
Xi Muyun has indeed fought many battles, but except for dealing with the Spaniards, the rest of the battles were bullying the natives. He had very limited experience in real large-scale corps confrontations.
It is not surprising that Gao Yanbo would have planned to be defeated in a miserable way.
"Brother Ma is right." Gao Yanbo was very moved. He focused his eyes and said in anger: "The emperor is going to be finished. I can't die with him."
"What? Brother is going to turn against me?"
Gao Yanbo smiled, "What can I do if I surrender to Tang Yi?"
"So my brother set up a clever plan?" Ma Gui asked in surprise.
"That's right, only by hurting people outside the city can we show our brothers' abilities. It will be convenient to ask Tang Yi for a price."
Gao Yanbo suddenly rushed to the table, picked up the imperial edict, stuffed it into Magui's arms, stretched out his rough big hand, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, do your brother a favor."
"Brother, please speak!"
"Brother, you take this decree and send it to the outside of the city. It is best for Tang Yi to see with his own eyes what my value is. Tell him that as long as I can be a hereditary Duke, I will give him the capital city. Including Wanli, I will not even lose a hair! Otherwise, the jade will be burned and the capital city will be ruined, which will not be beneficial to him."
Gao Yanbo laughed wildly and was very proud.
I have to say that some things are indeed ironic. Wanli is used to being the only one who is respectful to others and does not care about the lives of the people around him. But he trusts Gao Yanbo, who treats him as a life-saving straw, just treats him as a bargaining chip. He is a rare item. I have to say that it is a retribution!
After receiving the order, Ma Gui came out of Gao Yanbo's mansion with the imperial edict in his arms, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
The surname Gao, are you still dreaming?
I have never forgotten the grudges of Mr. Ma, and my brothers have never forgotten them. I actually asked me to go out of the city to contact Mr. Tang, then your death is not far away!
...
"Brother Qingchen, are you okay?"
Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue hurried into the ward. Xi Muyun was naked and gauze wrapped around her shoulders. An arrow passed through her shoulders. In order to prevent infection, she dug out a piece of meat the size of a fist.
Xi Muyun grinned in pain and was filled with righteous indignation.
"Okay, I underestimated the heroes of the world, passed my order, transferred all the cannons on the ship, aimed at the city gate, and bombed me to death!"
Xi Muyun is really bold and ruthless, and even thinks of bombarding the capital!
You should know that as a capital city that has been around for two hundred years, and after Tang Yi took power and made great efforts, the capital city is definitely the most prosperous and regular city in the world, and it is also the heart of the empire, and it cannot be destroyed easily.
"Brother Qingchen, be careful, the master has arrived, and the city is broken in the evening."
While he was talking, Tang Yi came from outside. Xi Muyun was about to get up and salute. Tang Yi hurriedly held him down and said gently: "The body is important."
When he turned around, he looked at Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, "You two go out to see the other brothers first."
"Affect the order."
After sending them away, only Tang Yi and Xi Muyun were left in the room.
Since the battle with Spain, Xi Muyun has been struggling overseas. In a blink of an eye, she hasn't seen each other for more than ten years. Tang Yi sighed: "We are both bearded and are no longer young!"
Xi Muyun raised his eyebrows and laughed twice, touching the wound, frowned slightly, not caring.
"The martyr was in his old age and had ambitions. What's more, his disciple was less than fifty years old." Xi Muyun said: "The disciple's wish is to personally carry a three-foot sword, go to the Western barbarians, slaughter the European countries, and return all the world to China!"
"Okay, I am worthy of being a disciple of Tang, and I have ambition!"
Tang Yi was sincerely relieved, "Qingchen, in the past ten years, I heard that you have opened up a large colony in India and were involved in the Persian Gulf generation. Are you planning to defeat the Ottoman Empire? Then enter Europe from the East?"
"That's right, it's the disciple's idea of entering the army." Xi Muyun said proudly.
"Okay, you are all good, and I am very pleased to be the teacher." Tang Yi smiled and said, "From now on, the internal stability will be stabilized for a long time, and we can also use more strength to expand our territory. Qingchen, take good care of your injuries. When you recover, you will become the governor of India. You will do whatever you want and support your teacher."
Tang Yi said it was true, but Xi Muyun was stunned.
He has a huge power overseas, and behind it is the Dongting Mountain Gang. Xi Muyun feels that he is the real heir to Tang Yi.
This time, he came back with his men to rescue the trapped elder, attack the capital, and even arrest Wanli. What he wanted to do was to prove his abilities to the people of the world and gain Tang Yi's recognition.
Who doesn’t want to be in charge of the world, who doesn’t want to climb to the top of life?
No matter how good it is overseas, it is not as good as the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Yi repeatedly emphasized that even if Wanli was overthrown, he might not be the chief minister again. Who would he give the position of the important minister of the government to? Is Shen Shi okay? He was so weak and imprisoned by Wanli for more than a year. What could he do?
Looking at all the young and strong people, he was the most suitable candidate. Until he was ambushed by Gao Yanbo and defeated the general, Xi Muyun still firmly believed that Tang Yi would choose him.
Why did the teacher change his mind?
Xi Muyun was full of questions, but Tang Yi didn't want to explain more.
"Qingchen, recover well. When I look back, I will arrange for Yang An to stop you, take India as the base camp and conquer the Middle East. You plan carefully and rebuild China overseas. It is up to you to do the important task of "making good plans."
...
Tang Yi came out of the ward and took a deep breath.
He only thought of one person in his mind, that is, Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine.
Today, the thousand-year-old monster of imperial power has almost gone out of energy. What you need to be wary of is the power you cultivated.
The Yellow River is more turbid and the Yangtze River is clearer. The Yellow River irrigates fertile fields in several provinces. The Yangtze River floods, which will also cause disasters to several provinces. People should not be ungrateful to the clear and turbid.
This is the way of employing people that Jiajing summarized throughout his life. Tang Yi also needs to balance and kick out those angular figures. Xi Muyun is cruel and ruthless, and is the pioneer in the development of colonialism. Behind him is the Dongting Mountain Gang.
His color was too extreme and too distinct. Tang Yi never thought of choosing him to inherit himself. Not only him, but the other civil and military officials, all the more powerful ones were among the most powerful ones who were released by the power of the military.
The only thing luckier than Zhao Kuangyin is that Tang Yi owns vast overseas land and can be promised to his subordinates.
If a family wants to prosper, they must allow capable descendants to forge ahead and continue to grow.
Tang Yi never expected that there was only one country left on the huge earth, which was unrealistic. If one day, overseas power surpassed the local government and even changed dynasties, there would be nothing strange. As long as the Yanhuang bloodline and the descendants of the Han family could dominate the world, it would be enough.
With a lot of thought, I came out of the ward and happened to catch up with Ma Gui coming to deliver the letter.
"Gei Master Tang, the criminal has been verified that Gao Yanbo poisoned him and killed Mr. Ma. The criminal has contacted hundreds of brothers. As long as the master ordered him, the criminal will immediately kill Gao Yanbo!"
"Mahjong is indeed loyal and brave, and this cabinet is very pleased." Tang Yi smiled, "But Mahjong doesn't need to worry, Gao Yanbo can't escape."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a tall general walked in and quickly walked in front of Tang Yi.
"The last general Wang Shouyi, pay homage to the elder."
Tang Yi smiled on his face, "General Wang, we have been in love for decades, why bother to see each other?"
He reached out to help the person up. When Ma Gui looked up, he was suddenly frightened and his eyes almost fell off. He rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Aren't you the admiral of the Jingying? Why did you turn against me?"
