As for the investigation, Zhu Yijun didn't pay much attention to it. After giving instructions, he let people do it. At this time, Zhu Yijun was no longer the person who needed to do everything himself.
Zhu Yijun already had a large number of minions to do things for him, so he didn't need to do it himself.
Zhu Yijun's main role in Nanjing was to hold the fort, and at the same time, to show his will as the emperor, which was very important.
Zhu Yijun was waiting for the result leisurely, but Nanjing was in chaos. The Imperial Bodyguard was dispatched everywhere. Because of the cooperation of the inner court, they acted quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Several major cases were involved in Qinhuai River, such as human trafficking and forcing girls to be prostitutes. These cases instantly caused a sensation in Nanjing.
Of course, there were still people behind these major cases. The emperor must dig deep, and for a time, the whole of Nanjing was in a state of panic.
These basically had no effect on Zhu Yijun, and even no one submitted a report. Everyone knew that this was the emperor's intention.
Everyone knew about the case of Qinhuai River. The water in it was too deep, and too many people were involved. From this point of view, no one was willing to get involved at this time.
Once they were targeted by the emperor, they might be implicated. This was very, very important.
However, it wasn't that Zhu Yijun had nothing to do, and it was a big thing, because something had happened in the south after all.
Originally, Zhu Yijun thought that since he was so powerful and Daming was so powerful, there should be no one who dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers. However, Zhu Yijun was wrong. There were still people who dared to do it.
This person was Yang Yinglong. Obviously, the imperial court's northward strategy in these years had made Yang Yinglong arrogant. Maybe he thought that Daming couldn't lift his sword.
"Your Imperial Highness, there's a report on the battle in Bozhou!" Wei Chao stood beside Zhu Yijun and said cautiously.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Wei Dynasty. Since it was a battle report instead of a victory report, it could only mean one thing, that was, they had lost.
Under normal circumstances, even if it was a small defeat, the officials would still exaggerate it. Even if they didn't say it was a victory, they would say it was an even match.
Now that there was no word of victory or of being evenly matched, it could only mean that the Spring and Autumn Brushwork could no longer be concealed. This defeat should be very serious, very serious. There was no way to use the Spring and Autumn Brushwork anymore.
"Tell me about it!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Wei Chao. He didn't reach for the memorial and just said lightly.
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!"
The Wei Dynasty did not dare to be negligent. He quickly opened the report and read it. Then he said, "This is a memorial from Wang Jiguang, the Inspector of Sichuan. Yang Yinglong, the Chieftain of Bozhou, refused to accept the emperor's orders and did not respect the imperial court. He said that the Sichuan army was weak and could not fight. He looked down on them and wanted to occupy the whole of Sichuan for a long time. His residence was decorated with dragons and phoenixes and he was good at using eunuchs.
"Inspector-General Wang dispatched his troops to suppress Yang Yinglong. He dispatched Adjutant General Guo Cheng and Commander-In-Chief Liu Chengsi to lead the troops to suppress Yang Yinglong. They were defeated at White Stone Pass, south of Loushan Pass. The entire army was annihilated, only Guo Cheng was spared.
Yang Yinglong gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack Sichuan and washed the Qijiang River with blood. "
Zhu Yijun listened to Wei Dynasty's words without any expression on his face. However, Wei Dynasty knew that this Imperial Majesty of his was probably beyond furious.
Ever since this Imperial Majesty of his ascension to the throne, when had the imperial court ever suffered a defeat?
They fought against Wala, the Duoyan Guards, Horqin, the Japanese pirates, the Japanese Empire, and Chahar. Every time they won, they pushed the prestige of the imperial court to new heights. How could this Imperial Majesty of his tolerate this?
It was not important whether Wang Jiguang was guilty or not. It was also not important whether Yang Yinglong was like what Wang Jiguang said.
The important thing was to see what this Imperial Majesty of his was thinking. If the Imperial Majesty wanted to fight, not to mention one Yang Yinglong, even ten Yang Yinglong would be beheaded.
"Send an edict to Sichuan Inspector-General Wang Jiguang. Have him stabilize Sichuan. Nothing must happen to Sichuan. Otherwise, he can forget about his head."
Zhu Yijun's tone was very calm, but the murderous intent in it was very heavy. The head of the Sichuan Inspector-General was hanging directly on his belt.
"Send an edict to the Imperial Navy Admiral Qi Jin. Order him to lead the Imperial Navy fleet south to Jingzhou. Send an edict to the Jiliao Admiral Liu Wei. Order him to lead thirty thousand elite troops to Sichuan."
Zhu Yijun used his usual calm tone and said, "This time, I will completely sweep through Pingchuan and Yunyun."
Originally, Zhu Yijun wanted to wait, but now Zhu Yijun didn't want to wait anymore. He couldn't let Yang Yinglong jump around. He had to kill him.
"Send an edict to the Royal Hospital. Dispatch a thousand medical personnel and gather all the Golden Pheasant Cream that can be mobilized."
Zhu Yijun continued, "Send an edict to the Duke of Qian to come to Nanjing. I want to see him. After squatting in Yunnan for so many years, it's time to do something."
Daming's Southeast Asia strategy, Duke Mu's Mansion must do something. There was no doubt about this.
However, Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with Duke Mu's Mansion. This time, Zhu Yijun planned to use the opportunity of using troops in the south to suppress Duke Mu's Mansion. These years, Duke Mu's Mansion had become more and more excessive in Yunnan.
Because Yunnan was far away from the Emperor, the imperial court's actions to appease them made them even more arrogant.
The previous generation's Duke of Qian, Mu Chaobi, should have been arrested and punished. However, when the imperial court discussed this matter, everyone felt that it was very difficult. They all said that Mu Chaobi had tens of thousands of well-trained troops. Arresting him would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers and incite the rebellion of the ethnic minorities at the border.
For this reason, the imperial court decided to promote Mu Chaobi's son first. Later, the Emperor sent the Red Cavalry to arrest Mu Chaobi. The soldiers didn't dare to move.
After Mu Chaobi was captured and brought to the capital, considering his family's merits, the Emperor exempted him from the death penalty and imprisoned him in Nanjing's prison until he died.
Although this was the case, everyone knew that the imperial court was worried about Duke Mu's Mansion's status and strength.
Since that time, Duke Mu's Mansion went even further in some things. However, Zhu Yijun didn't have time to deal with it. This time, he naturally had to clean it up.
The vassal lords from all over the country had entered the capital. It was impossible for Zhu Yijun to leave Duke Mu's Mansion in Yunnan, especially when he planned to vigorously develop Southeast Asia.
Once his strategy succeeded, Duke Mu's Mansion would become an existence that leeched on his strategy.
Duke Wei's Mansion himself had to clean up, let alone Duke Mu's Mansion. This time, he would clean it up as well.
Wei Dynasty didn't know what Zhu Yijun wanted to do, but he could tell from his Imperial Majesty's attitude that this time, they were going to start fighting again, and it was going to be a big fight.
Who didn't know Liu Wei? He was Liu Xian's son. He was originally fighting in Yunnan and Guizhou. He was arrogant and murderous. Now that he was back, wouldn't he go on a killing spree?
The other was the navy. Who was the Daming's most elite unit?
It was definitely the Imperial Navy's infantry unit. After they came, it would basically be an attack of a hundred thousand troops. It would be strange if Yang Yinglong could withstand it.
Although he was mourning for Yang Yinglong in his heart, Wei Dynasty didn't have any expression on his face. A monkey's death had nothing to do with him.
