Chapter 111                                                             

Wang Zhi has obviously been preparing for this matter for a long time. He analyzed the forces in Nanjing City with great traits. It is like watching the pattern of the palm.

The prince said, "Okay, what do you think you should do?"

Wang pointed directly at the location of the Forbidden City and said, "This thing is not so many. As long as you rush into the Forbidden City and control Your Majesty, a big thing will be accomplished. So my plan is also very simple, which is to rush in from Xihua Gate, break through Xi'an Gate, go straight into the three halls, and control Your Majesty."

"But the plan is simple, but it is not easy to do."

"Nanjing Forbidden City is completely different from Beijing Forbidden City. Beijing Forbidden City is in the capital, while Nanjing Forbidden City is south of Nanjing, with outer walls on both sides."

"In the Forbidden City, three battalions are divided into three squads, guarding day and night. They are very cautious and don't have to think about anything they want to sneak in, they can only attack. The Forbidden City faces the outer city in three directions. The Nanjing walls can be said to be as solid as gold and cannot be shaken at all. So what can be done can only be hidden in the streets and alleys. Only a sudden attack can make contributions, but I have two worries about this."

"A worry is that three thousand soldiers are hidden in Nanjing, and it is difficult not to be discovered."

The prince said, "Don't worry about this. Wang Shu, left behind in Nanjing, is no longer in Nanjing. He is no longer there. The efficiency of the left-behind yamen in Nanjing will not be so high. I have some small means to ensure that the left-behind yamen in Nanjing will not be discovered in advance."

"As for the Jinyiwei, I also have arrangements."

The prince's preparations are being advanced. Although Wang Zhi's troops are the absolute main force he relies on, it does not mean that the prince has not made any arrangements in other aspects. It is just that no matter how many arrangements the prince has made in other aspects, the real decision on the victory or defeat is still this private army.

This is why the prince attaches so much importance to Wang Zhi.

The prince was so humble to Wang Shu that he wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Wang Shu has been in Nanjing for several years. Although he had a very unpleasant relationship with local gentry in Nanjing, if he only felt that Wang Shu was capable of this, he would be very wrong. Any minister who is called a famous minister is never to be underestimated. Not to mention anything else, Wang Shu was inspecting the three thousand inspectors in Nanjing, Nanjing, which was a big problem for the prince.

But once Wang Shu left, he was a pile of loose sand. It was not worth fearing.

The prince also had a group of people in secret. At this moment, it was time to fight with the Jinyiwei. It was just a secret battle, but it was about to be on the open.

Wang Zhi also knew that he would not ask questions. He only talked about his own affairs. He continued: "Hide traces in Nanjing city, and the location needs to be arranged."

The prince said, "Appoint it now. The address will be delivered to you tonight. Weapons, armor, and all kinds of firearms are available."

The prince controls the Xian family. The Xian family itself has a warehouse in Nanjing, both open and secretly. This is why the prince cannot investigate and dare not investigate the Xian family. He has to communicate with the Xian family in many places. After Wang Shu checked, everything was naturally exposed.

Wang Zhi said: "There are two worries about attacking the Forbidden City. The first one is to worry about breaking through the two gates of the Forbidden City. It is a bit difficult."

The prince said directly: "I will arrange people outside the Xihua Gate. What you want to attack is Xi'an Gate. I'll give it to you now." The prince put a map on the table.

It is the map inside the Forbidden City of Nanjing, which is regarded as top secret.

Wang Zhi didn't know at this moment, and the prince had prepared for this matter. He was not polite, and now he was not polite. He said: "The second worry is that he would not be able to conquer for a long time. The Nanjing garrison would come along the city wall to help."

The city wall is a defensive fortification and an urgent route to mobilize troops.

Nanjing is densely populated. If an army wants to cross the entire Nanjing city, it is not known how many obstacles it will encounter. It is better to move directly along the city wall and reach its destination without any obstacles.

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "After all, this depends on what Duke Wei will do? I will find a way, but I can't guarantee it. It's best to fight quickly."

Who is Duke of Wei?

It was the Duke who was hereditary to the emperor after Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. The Duke of Wei supported the Jianwen lineage until his death, and he moved to Beijing for many years until his orthodox dynasty, and was not released back to Nanjing. It is unlikely that Duke of Wei will turn to the crown prince.

Just think about it and understand.

The family of Duke of Wei was extremely rich.

Even if you have the merit of supporting the prince to ascend the throne, what is the use? Is it difficult to be named a king? What will happen if the ministers are not worthy of being granted? Needless to say, the prince also arranged manpower for Duke Wei, but whether it can actually work is a question.

Wang Zhi said: "I understand."

The prince said: "I tricked Wang Shu out of Nanjing and asked him to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case first, and start from the municipal and municipal departments of the two provinces. I think the one he wants to investigate must be Songjiang first and Ningbo later. I don't know how long it will take for him to find out this matter, but we don't have much time left. When do you think it's best to start it?"

Wang Zhi said: "It's better tomorrow."

The prince was shocked and said, "Tomorrow? How is that possible?"

Wang Zhi said: "Your Highness, my war is always a matter of speed. Today's incident is a gamble for Your Highness to suppress your wealth and life, but in my opinion, it is essentially a battle of no more than 10,000 people. I have experienced such a war."

"There is nothing to hesitate."

"On the battlefield, no matter when, hesitation is a sign of defeat, and as long as you are ready, you will start."

"Your Highness, what is the best time? In my opinion, the best time is now, but we must not be prepared well, so the best time is the moment we are ready. Start immediately."

The prince was silent for a while and felt ashamed. He did not hesitate again and again about this matter, and hesitated for thirty years. If there was no Xian family matter and forced him to do it, he might still be hesitating. This is actually the prince's flaw. The prince's war in Southeast Asia was all done step by step. To put it nicely, he was persistent, and to put it badly, he lacked decisions.

However, as a general, it is a taboo to have no decisiveness. However, as an emperor, Zhu Qizhen regarded as the ruler of the prefecture of the ruler, lacks decisiveness. Although there are some problems, it is not a big problem.

After all, governing the country is not about war, and there is no urgency of time.

The prince said, "Then the next day, the next morning, I will arrange everything. I will give my father a big gift before his birthday."

Wang Zhi said: "I understand."

The prince hesitated for a while and said, "How much do you think this time is counted?"

Wang Zhi said: "Five-five."

"Your Highness should not underestimate Ma Yong. I have checked Ma Yong's resume. I am a rising star in the army. I am my junior. He has outstanding abilities and is far above his peers. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to guard His Majesty. Moreover, the journey from the south to the northeast of the desert, from the northeast to the north of the desert, from the northeast to the western region, from the western region to the northwest, from the northwest to the central region, from the Central Plains to the Jianghan, from the Jianghan to Nanjing, and then toured the Jiangnan region. On the way, Ma Yongdu arranged no water. There was no mistake at all."

"Your Highness, many things are just about seeing the small things. You will be marching all the way. There are not only His Majesty, but also all kinds of people, and even the chefs in the palace. But Ma Yong took this group of people to circle such a big circle within half a year. Except for some weak and sick people, there was no major problem. This has shown Ma Yong's ability to lead troops."

"Many people can't know the military capabilities after going to the battlefield."

"The people who are guarding Your Majesty are also elite horse teams in the Beijing camp."

"Your Majesty, before orthodox, the horses in the army were noble and Taizu formulated the rules for selecting horses. They were all warriors in infantry battles, so they could be selected as horses. Now there are more horses in the court, but this unspoken rule has always existed. The most elite brave man in the Ming Dynasty must be in the horses. The warriors in the horses are definitely not just good at riding horses, but also good at infantry battles."

"The soldiers under my command are selected from the best, and are selected from all the people in Nanyang, but they may not necessarily surpass the elites of the Beijing camp."

"And Your Majesty thinks your arrangements can be made?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty has arranged. But I think it's good to have half of the success. Calculated by various factors, including the possibility of Your Majesty's abandonment of the Forbidden City and fleeing, the 55th Band is already quite large, enough for a battle."

After hearing this, the prince shook his head and said, "You don't know your father, he is just me, and he will never abandon the Forbidden City and escape."

He could imagine how angry Zhu Qizhen would be when he learned the news. He might take a step back before others, but he would never accept being forced to retreat by his son. Therefore, it is not impossible to give up the possibility of escaping from the Forbidden City, but it is rare.

Of course, the prince arranged a group of people here.

After all, this is outside the city, which is easier to arrange than outside the city. Moreover, when his father really wants to escape from the city, he will definitely be at the end of his life, and there will not be too many people around him. He does not need too many people.

However, the prince had to admit one thing.

That is, even so, he seemed to have arranged everything he could and done. But can he really succeed?

He wasn't very confident in his heart.

This may be the first time he took a risk in his life.

It may be a good chance to open five or five.

The prince and Wang Zhi discussed some details again. The prince left in a hurry. The prince could not leave the team for too long, and it was certain that there must be eyeliners from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei among the team. After the prince left, Wang Zhi changed into woodcutter's clothes, carried a bundle of firewood, and slowly went down to Zijin Mountain.
