Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Chapter 483: One Arrow, Many Eagles

Those who smuggle weapons and draw salaries without doing anything on the border must be feeling very worried.

So in order to conceal the truth and avoid being held accountable by the court, why not just create a defeat? The emperor is far away and there is no one to testify, so wouldn't the matter be over?

But Zhu Qizhen was a young man full of vigor and vitality.

This wave of deception actually led to Zhu Qizhen personally leading the army to investigate.

Zhu Qizhen's departure made those who played tricks feel uneasy.

At this time, as long as there is someone to act as a matchmaker.

The civil officials and border officials had a common goal.

As long as Zhu Qizhen is killed and a new emperor is put on the throne, all problems will be solved.

Zhang Xin is dead.

Even those who are nominally capable of governing are gone.

They are completely fearless.

If handled properly, the 300,000 Beijing troops could also be eliminated, and any emperor of the Zhu family would no longer have strong military power in his hands.

All in all, it really kills several birds with one stone.

"Master, do you mean that even the defeat at the border is fake?"

Zhang Xin couldn't believe it.

As for the latter, she and Zhang Sanfeng had the same idea. Unexpectedly, even the fall of the border was made up.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can be sure of this."

Zhang Sanfeng has not lived these years in vain.

He was there at the end of the Song Dynasty and he was also there at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. On this border, it was often a matter of one side doing good to the other, and there were many fake wars.

What could the court know?

It's just about listening to battle reports, giving pensions, and allocating money and food.

Enriching oneself is the norm.

Zhang Xin closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She couldn't believe it, but it was really possible.

She originally calculated that the 300,000 people should be almost the total number of the entire Beijing camp.

They were the most powerful generals and the most elite military camp at that time.

Among those who were taken out were the Minister of War, the descendants of famous generals, the best-equipped and largest musketeer team, the three-line tactics that were most effective against the Mongolian cavalry, and the huge and strict intelligence agency, the Jinyiwei.

Such a group was completely wiped out on their own land, at Tumubao, which was less than a day's march away from the important military town, with a force ten times that of the enemy.

This is completely impossible!

If it was a surprise attack, then why didn't the border guards outside have any early warning?

Why was there no record of troops being sent to rescue afterwards?

Zhang Xin had only considered the civil servants before and hadn’t thought it through.

Zhang Sanfeng's words were like an epiphany.

"You also said that Wang Zhen, who accompanied the emperor on the expedition, made all the decisions on military and political affairs. There were dozens of civil officials, including officials at the position of Shangshu, accompanying him. How could a eunuch be allowed to make the decisions? Isn't he the best urinal to pass the buck?"

Zhang Sanfeng continued to complain.

Since ancient times, the decline of a country has been blamed either on the emperor's incompetence or on women, and eunuchs have always been treacherous and flattering ministers.

Can't dozens of people defeat a eunuch?

Moreover, there is another doubt here.

More than sixty civil servants died. That means Zhu Qizhen may have brought more than sixty civil servants with him to the war.

Why did Zhu Qizhen personally lead the army to fight with so many civil servants?

Go and cheer him on?

Isn't this nonsense?

"You, my eldest grandson, are very smart, but unfortunately, you are not as ruthless as others."

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but be amazed and sighed to Zhang Xin.

It was obvious that Zhu Qizhen vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he brought so many people with him as amulets.

But he is still too young.

Officials come and go, and when they die, positions are naturally vacated.

I wonder how happy those who planned this murder were when they were given official positions.
