Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Another day, the sun rises.

Dispel the cold night.

The entire Jinling City woke up instantly.

People came out of their huts and courtyards one after another and began to work on their daily livelihood.

On the way, when I meet someone I know well, I always have to chat a few words about the Northern Expedition.

"After the first town of King Yan's army captured Zhangbei, no news came back?"

"You don't know? New news just came back yesterday."

"What, tell me quickly?"

"The King of Yan and the Crown Prince have divided their forces. The King of Yan has commanded 130,000 soldiers and horses as a partial force to attack the royal court before the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is almost the same as our accompanying the capital..."

"King Yan took away all the princes' vassal guards?"

"Not all, King Qin and King Jin follow the main army of the Crown Prince."

"Even so, King Yan's partial army is too weak. The princes have never led an army. Will it hold back King Yan?"

"I heard that the princes followed King Yan to learn how to lead troops and fight in war."

"I hope nothing happens..."

…

The news of Zhu Di and Zhu Biao's division of troops spread back to Jinling. After it spread, the people talked a lot.

Zhu Mansion.

Xu Miaoyin stood in front of the mirror and helped Xu Miaoyun comb her hair.

After Chunxiao and the others left.

She was worried that her sister would be too busy, so she moved from Prince Dai's Mansion to Zhu Mansion.

"Sister, have you noticed that you have given birth to three children in the past few years since you were married, so why do you seem to be getting younger and younger?"

Xu Miaoyin lowered her head, looked at Xu Miaoyun's face carefully, and said with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun reached out and touched her cheek, her face slightly red, "Is there any? Why didn't I notice it?"

Hum!

Even if you find out, you can’t admit it!

Xu Miaoyin saw all the arrogance in Xu Miaoyun's pretty eyebrows.

He lowered his head, pursed his lips, tried his best to hold back his laughter, and joked: "Sister, now that you are not in front of outsiders, you are less stable than before you got married, and more like a spoiled and spoiled little girl!"

Is it so obvious?

The tips of Xu Miaoyun's crystal ears instantly turned red.

It's all Shiro's fault!

He blushed slightly, turned his head, tried to look serious, and glared with a smile, "Stop making fun of me!"

Although these are facts.

But Miaoyin often used these things to make her happy these days.

To put it bluntly, he was just afraid that she would worry about Shiro's situation ahead.

It was only reported yesterday that Shiro was setting off with the feudal lord's guards, but no further news was sent back.

In the DPRK, there were Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and other people who knew the military.

Based on Shiro's goal of attacking Helin, it has been predicted that there will be a fierce battle at the mouth of the Three Gorges.

After the prediction came out, the civil and military officials of the entire court eagerly waited for the new news to come back.

Of course, some people hope that Shiro will fall hard.

Even to death in battle.

But many people also care about Shiro.

There are also some rational people in the eldest brother and the prince's system who are also eagerly looking forward to it.

Any reasonable person understands.

Whether Shilang can shoulder the important task of relying on his troops this way depends on whether the main force of his eldest brother can go straight to Huanglong and conquer the Beiyuan Royal Court.

And the battle at the mouth of the Three Gorges.

It was a test to see whether the fifth brother and others, who had never led troops before, could cooperate with Shiro under the leadership and guidance of Shiro and shoulder the important task of attracting troops to the division.

There are quite a few of these people!

I won’t talk about people like Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining.

Zhao Zhu, the Minister of Rites, is also the Mr. Dabentang. Yesterday, he visited Yong Ming and Qi Hua in person on the pretext of their academic problems. On behalf of many people in the eldest brother's system, he expressed his goodwill towards their mother and son.

This made her feel more reassured that Yong Ming and Qihua were in the palace.

Although, his father and queen mother were watching and protecting him eagerly.

But the palace is full of intrigues.

She had read it in countless books.

Even the father and mother may not be able to guard against sharp arrows shot from dark places.

However, this possibility should be small.

After all, his father's evil reputation was known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties.

In short, the goodwill released by the rational faction in the elder brother's system, headed by Zhao Zhu, was earned by Shiro for their mother and son.

As long as the battlefield situation does not change.

As long as the eldest brother has a smooth journey, news of great successes will continue to come.

Mother and son are very stable in Jinling.

"Sister, Zhu Gui and the others won't drag down my brother-in-law, right?" Xu Miaoyin asked worriedly.

She just felt very indebted to her sister and brother-in-law.

She knew very well who her husband was.

Don't cause trouble.

But there are no ambitions.

In addition to following the rules and doing the things assigned by his father, he never dared to do anything without permission.

Even the feudal lord Wei doesn't care about it on weekdays.

All were handed over to the commander assigned to him by the imperial court for training and command.

If it weren't for my brother-in-law's new army being so popular.

He also wanted to make his vassal guard like the first town of the army.

Then I decided to ask my brother-in-law for help in guiding the group.

In the past, whenever the couple talked about the feudal king Wei.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said in a low voice: 'It's better not to touch military power. If you can't guarantee it, in the future the eldest brother or the hero will cut down the vassal. If you interfere too much with the vassal king's guard now, it will be troublesome in the future! ’

…

"Sister, do you think that if he follows his brother-in-law alone, will he be a hindrance to his brother-in-law?"

She was absolutely certain.

The character of the brother-in-law, if he encounters danger, he will definitely stay by himself to break up the family.

Create opportunities for your husband and other princes to get out of trouble.

How could the eldest brother, the prince, give all a group of vassal kings who had never led an army to his brother-in-law?

Xu Miaoyun looked up and saw Xu Miaoyin's face full of worry. She held Xu Miaoyin's hand, patted it gently, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't feel guilty. Marching and fighting is not a child's play. Since your brother-in-law dares to take Lao Shisan and the others, he must I’m sure…”

As he spoke, the worry in Xu Miaoyun's eyes flashed away.

What's going on on the front lines?

She didn't know.

But the news that came back was confusing.

She always senses a sense of uneasiness and worry.

She knew very well how important the Army's No. 1 position was in Shiro's heart.

No practical experience.

In the first battle, Shiro led his brothers to fight Zhangbei's offensive and defensive battle!

Also this time, Shiro took the initiative to divide his troops and led a partial division to attract Beiyuan's troops.

Why didn't the letter mention Brother's attitude towards this matter?

…

This kind of dark and unclear details that make people always feel uneasy and wrong are filled with every message that comes back.

Seeing that Xu Miaoyun was in a daze, Xu Miaoyin reached out and patted her mouth quietly, and said with a smile: "Sister, if we don't want to stay in the Ming Dynasty anymore and go to sea to join you and your brother-in-law, you and your brother-in-law have to take us in. "

Although she was making her sister happy.

But he really has such a plan.

The couple discussed it privately.

In the future, there are many possibilities for the eldest brother to cut down the feudal clan.

Because when the Wu Xun problem is solved.

The issue of vassal kings will inevitably become the new main contradiction.

In addition, there were a group of civil servants in the court who did not like the feudal kings.

During their father's reign, these people were afraid of his father and did not dare to say anything.

But the eldest brother may not be able to do so in one day.

The possibility of the eldest brother cutting off the feudal clan is still very high.

And when the time comes, the couple may be the first to undergo surgery.

Because her brother-in-law is Zhu Di, who founded his own business overseas and established a country!

Within the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who feared, feared, and hated their brother-in-law. As long as the prince and eldest brother had the idea of ​​reducing the vassal, they would first target the couple.

For cutting the feudal clan.

The couple didn't care.

Anyway, they are not very power-hungry people.

But I’m afraid that time will come.

Even if you want to leave Daming, you can't leave!

This was one of the conclusions the couple came to after discussing in private.

The eldest brother cut off the vassalage, but that doesn't mean he is willing to let the brothers leave the Ming Dynasty and join his brother-in-law!

In short, once the feudal clan reduction begins.

There will certainly be troubles and twists and turns.

I just hope that the eldest brother can let the couple leave Daming.

Xu Miaoyun didn't know that Xu Miaoyin and Zhu Gui had discussed so much in private, and they immediately laughed, "Okay!"

…

There was a lot of discussion here in Jinling.

Outside the mouth of the Three Gorges.

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

The kings and vassals and their guards took turns to attack Yinshan, and through wheel battles, they consumed the troops and physical strength of the defending Yuan army.

Prepare for the general attack before dark.

The shouts of killing outside were loud, and the 15,000 selected elites were ordered to rest in the camp.

The craftsmen who followed the army were seizing the time to make wooden boards for building the fortress.

Craftsmen from Army No. 1 Town participated in improvising some simple buckles.

…

It's approaching noon.

The back of Yinshan Mountain.

Fifty miles west of the mouth of the Three Gorges.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, a sheltered place from the wind.

A group of weathered-looking soldiers ate quickly. Under the supervision of their respective huts, each of them took a sip of strong wine to warm up. The brothers in the same hut leaned against each other, wrapped in marching quilts, and began to rest.

Snoring.

The generals headed by Zhu Di climbed to the ridge of Yinshan Mountain for on-site inspection.

Xu Huizu followed beside him, "Brother-in-law, our staff group sent people to walk more than ten miles ahead. Although the mountain road is difficult, it is still possible to walk. Apart from the gunpowder, projectiles and dry food we carry with us, we don't have much left. After the rest, , when we set out, we can let the soldiers eat all the remaining dry food, temporarily leave the carriage here, and approach the entrance of the Three Gorges from the ridge of Yinshan Mountain..."

Creak, creak...

While listening, Zhu Di walked along the mountain ridge, stepping on the dead branches, fallen leaves, and snow on the mountain ridge, trying to overcome the difficulties in walking...

On the mountain ridge, the snow that begins to melt becomes hard after being stepped on several times, making it very easy for the feet to slip.

But the scouts have found out.

There are many large and small tribes gathered in front.

As a large army like them marches, if they continue to attack in such a grand manner, they will no longer be able to achieve concealment.

…

"We are all soldiers from Fujian in the army. Fujian is very mountainous. Brothers are actually no strangers to walking in the mountains. The difficulty is actually because the layer of snow has not yet melted..."

When Zhu Di heard this, he nodded in disbelief, turned around, and asked the accompanying staff members, "Do you have all the plans to advance from the mountain ridge?"

"have!"

A staff member immediately stood up and handed a piece of information to Zhu Di.

At the same time, he explained: "Xu Shenjun led us to formulate a complete plan. Our staff group immediately sent people to follow the scouts and set off along the mountain ridge to take the lead in exploring the roads along the way. At the same time, the staff group dispatched a scout team of fifty. Brothers who are good at engineering and military affairs have formed a reserve team. Once problems are reported from the front, they will immediately dispatch brothers from the engineering team to follow our staff group to build roads..."

…

"In short, our staff group can issue a military order to ensure that obstacles on the road to attack are removed before the army marches."

…

Zhu Di listened and looked at the plan content on the brochure.

The plan is perfect.

All possible situations have been considered.

…

After Zhu Di read it carefully, he closed the folder and handed it to Xu Huizu, "Just follow your plan. Your staff team should work harder and act now."

Xu Huizu smiled.

After receiving the order, he led the staff group and the engineering team along the mountain ridge and set off first.

Zhu Di sent the others away.

Only Zhu Neng was left.

He smiled and said, "Third brother, you used to be very mean-mouthed, but you have been very silent all the way here. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Zhu Neng glared angrily.

He wanted to kick someone when he raised his leg.

Zhu Di ducked away with a smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Zhu Neng unscrewed the wine bag he carried to keep out the cold, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Not to mention, the wine brewed from the corn stalks fed to the animals is also quite delicious."

As he spoke, he threw the wine bag to Zhu Di.

This batch of wine.

They were all gifts from Liujiacun.

Zhu Di took a sip and swung his boots from side to side on the snow on the ground. Soon, he cleared out a piece of clean land and sat down on the ground.

Zhu Neng followed suit and sat down.

Look at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di took another sip of wine and handed the wine bag to Zhu Neng, "In the future, people will create more things..."

The first industrial revolution.

It’s Artisan Technology.

It is different from the technological revolution that took place later with the support of research institutes.

The first industrial revolution did not require so many basic disciplines to support it.

In essence, it is a scientific and technological civilization derived from the study and development of experienced craftsmen based on demand.

It's like a steam engine.

In fact, some technical conditions have been met.

The structural principle of the reciprocating bellows is the most important part of the steam engine.

But this link.

It was invented thousands of years ago when iron smelting required more wind power.

Navy battleship, invented the propeller.

Invented a mechanical structure that stores energy to provide power.

In fact, when the navy is not satisfied with the various troubles of accumulating power, driven by demand, the steam engine revolution will inevitably come.

It can be done without him having to point fingers.

"The enthusiasm of the people is mobilized. When countless people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, they will inevitably mobilize all their ingenuity to create more economic benefits. Tuqiao Village can invent corn straw wine making, which means that after food and clothing are solved, there will be more energy Think about other things..."

If food and clothing are not solved.

How could Uncle Eight and the others just smell the crushed straw, which had been piled up for a few days and smelled like wine, so they thought of using corn straw to make wine.

After he and Miaoyun returned to the village, they asked in detail.

In order to find suitable wine koji.

Uncle Ba and the others visited several surrounding counties.

Trust people, spend money, and shamelessly ask for advice.

Then there was another year of trials.

Finally, the most suitable distiller's yeast for corn straw brewing was developed.

How can the people who do not have enough food and clothing have the conditions and energy to do so.

But once the people's food and clothing problem is solved.

The intelligence and wisdom of the people will inevitably have an explosive period.

Various inventions, driven by demand, will spring up like mushrooms after a rain according to the laws of development of things.

"The upper-class elites of our past dynasties, when they became rich, pursued various things that satisfied their spiritual needs. Therefore, we can see that polo was popular during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and we can see that every festival in Bianjing of the Song Dynasty , spending countless money on lights, we can see that history has developed various types of operas..."

…

"But our people, as long as they have enough to eat and a meager capital, are not qualified to engage in these things from the elites. They will definitely use their intelligence and wisdom to find ways to create more things that can create wealth and value. …”

"As long as the imperial court can continue to do so unswervingly, I can predict with absolute certainty that the future will be an era of common people for a long time!"

Countless ordinary people will make inventions, big or small, because of their intelligence.

Become a trendsetter in history.

After the end of the first industrial revolution.

Individual intelligence and individual strength will become weaker and weaker.

Research institutes established by companies will replace individuals.

When civilization and technology develop to a higher level.

The difficulty will also increase exponentially.

Complete personal withdrawal.

Businesses cannot afford it either.

Only the state apparatus can do this.

Even small countries don’t have this qualification!

Only the huge state apparatus can.

…

Zhu Neng listened to Zhu Di's high-spirited explanation of the era of the common people. He took a sip and sipped the wine to stimulate the taste buds on the tip of his tongue. He suddenly said: "Fourth brother, ever since we went to Liaodong together, you have been quite optimistic when we first met. Come to think of it, it's still the same now, so you didn't notice, has the prince changed?"

In the past, he had heard how kind the prince was.

But this time I looked closer.

He discovered that the prince's palace was quite rich.

He was worried.

The fourth child is undefended.

It will be a serious setback in the future.

Zhu Di smiled, reached out and pinched a ball of snow into a ball, and threw it violently. He stared at the snowball as it fell in an arc, and said in a daze: "I know, and I am prepared. You don't have to worry about me. I'll wait for you to mess around." When you are not going down, remember to come to me, and don’t dare to say anything else. By then, I will be the master of a country, and I can train you a few elite troops. That’s not even a matter of words!"

Zhu Neng was amused.

Throwing the wine bag to Zhu Di, "That's settled!"

…

Afternoon.

The soldiers ate up the dry food they carried with them, climbed up the mountain ridge, and under the cover of trees, began to approach the mouth of the Three Gorges.

It's approaching evening.

There are only a dozen miles left from the battlefield at the entrance of the Three Gorges.

Xu Huizu came back with a Yuan army who was tied up with five flowers. After meeting him, he smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, I caught my tongue!"

Zhu Di then began to interrogate the captured tongue.

After the interrogation.

Order people to take the tongue down.

All the generals were summoned by Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di relayed the content of the interrogation to the generals, he asked: "What did you see from this? You can tell me whatever you think."

"Your Majesty, the progress of the princes is obvious. Last night's wide-frontal play was very good. Unfortunately, we couldn't hold on in the end."

"The general feels that the princes are consuming the strength and physical strength of the Yuan army in today's daytime battle. Tonight, they will definitely replicate last night's wide-frontal attack!"

"If it were just like this, I'm afraid it would be impossible to succeed. The commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army is not a fool. Such an obvious attrition tactic can be seen through at a glance."

…

Zhu Neng stood next to Zhu Di and watched a group of leaders, team officers, and staff led by Zhang Wu having a lively discussion.

He glanced at Zhu Di.

He now knows how Lao Si trains generals.

"Your Highness." Zhang Wu suddenly looked at Zhu Di, "If the princes use the firepower that Your Highness taught us on the way back to Jinling, is it possible to defeat the Yuan army?"

"Xie Tong, in this situation, we can't ambush, how can we use firepower to defeat him?"

"An ambush does not necessarily mean a firepower attack..."

…

Immediately, everyone started arguing again.

There is still plenty of time.

There are only a dozen miles left to the left and right.

Zhu Di did not hinder Zhang Wu and others from discussing.

Wait until everyone has discussed it.

Finally, after discussion, a method similar to that proposed by Tan Yuan, Zhu Ju and others was reached.

Zhu Di smiled.

Counterattack with firepower may not be able to conquer the Yinshan section of the Three Gorges Pass where the Yuan army is stationed in one fell swoop.

But it can definitely cause a lot of casualties to the Yuan army.

However, Zhu Di did not realize at this moment that under Tan Yuan's guidance.

Zhu Ju and others are making intensive preparations to implement this tactic.

"The method of counterattack with firepower is very good. At least it can effectively attack the enemy's strength. Now that the discussion is over, since it is confirmed that there will be a fierce battle soon, then we will seize the Three Gorges Pass tonight!"

Just take down one side of Yinshan Mountain.

He did not believe that the Yuan army would not withdraw.

He won't be afraid if you don't withdraw.

Let the soldiers transport the artillery battalion's cannons to the mountain ridge, blast them directly to the east, and coordinate with the infantry and cavalry charges.

The cannons in the artillery camp are not the thick, black and bulky things used by the navy.

It is fixed on the tree trunk on the hillside through a pulley set, section by section, it takes a little effort, but it can be done.

Zhu Di gave an order.

The soldiers once again took advantage of the fact that there was still enough light and began to march quickly.

…

Three Gorges mouth.

It was already dark.

Mahamu accompanied Naha and stood on the mountain ridge.

From a high position, he observed the Ming army that was beginning to gather in the distance at the foot of the mountain, illuminated by firelight.

Mahamu smiled and said: "It seems that the coalition of princes is still going to do what they did yesterday."

Yesterday was indeed very dangerous.

If it weren't for him, he likes to hold back when doing things.

Five hundred were left in reserve.

It is most likely that the fledgling princes of the Ming Dynasty could conquer Yinshan Mountain in one fell swoop.

Let alone conquering Yinshan.

Some of these princes led their troops up the mountain ridge.

Even if he ends up being kicked out.

It's all his shame!

Nahachu glanced at Mahamu and said with a smile: "Behind these princes stands the Fourth Prince Ming. His words and deeds are indispensable. In fact, the one who really fought with you yesterday was actually the Fourth Prince Ming. So, you still Winner."

Mahamu smiled.

He believed that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty had been training the other princes.

He hasn't shown his true ability yet.

If the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty faced the battlefield of Yinshan, he only had this ability.

The mouth of the Three Gorges was the place where the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty suffered his first defeat since he led the army!

…

At the foot of the mountain.

"Brothers! Have you rested?"

"alright!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"alright!"

"We have been preparing for this battle for a whole day, brothers, are you confident!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

…

The princes headed by Zhu Xi stood in front of the elite troops gathered by their vassal king's guards, walking around and shouting loudly.

The soldiers responded in unison.

After a while.

Zhu Rui led his brothers and quickly came to Xu Da and Tan Yuan, "Third uncle, we request to start!"

Xu Da looked at the eager and high-spirited faces of Zhu and others, smiled, and looked at Zhu's hanging left arm, "Do you want to continue to participate in the attack?"

Zhu Ru nodded.

When attacking Zhangbeicheng.

He had witnessed with his own eyes that his fourth brother was the first to board the city and join the battle after being hit by an arrow in his arm.

He is definitely not as brave as his fourth brother.

But as long as he accompanies the soldiers to charge up the mountain, morale will definitely be strong enough.

Xu Da nodded, "Let's start!"

"As you command!"

After receiving the order, Zhu Ru and others turned around and came to their respective formations.

The brothers and others looked at each other.

Clang!

He suddenly drew his sword at the same time.

Throw away the scabbard? , raised the knife brazenly: "Kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers' high-spirited shouts of killing rose into the sky.

A group of elites followed Zhu Ju and others, spread out their formation, widened the entire front, and leaned towards Yinshan Mountain.

rear.

The artillery battalion of the Army's First Town, with thirty-six artillery pieces, quickly followed up, led by war horses.

Stopped about three miles from the foot of the mountain.

After a short period of busyness.

"One shed is loaded!"

"Second shed..."

…

Reports sounded one after another.

"put!"

Wen Qi, the artillery battalion commander, waved his hands violently.

Bang bang bang...

The roar broke the tranquility of the evening.

The black hole of the cold muzzle suddenly spit out streams of flames.

Projectiles roared out one after another, and along the high angle of the muzzle, some hit close to the mountain ridge, and some flew over the mountain ridge and landed directly on the back of Yinshan Mountain.

On the mountain ridge.

Mahamu turned around, his eyes followed a cannonball that flew over the mountain ridge and broke a tree, and then moved to the back of the mountain.

Looking at our own soldiers who were climbing behind the mountain ridge and obviously panicked when they heard the sound of cannons, they shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of! Turn around and look! The Ming army's artillery has fallen halfway up the mountain behind you!"

This group of infantry is elite.

Many people have seen how the First Army Town used artillery to blow down the parapet wall.

Those who have not seen it, and those who have seen it spread rumors, further deifying the artillery of the Ming Army.

That's why they panic when they hear the sound of cannons.

The soldiers' panic gradually subsided, and Naha whispered, "The Ming army used artillery to scare us. It seems that in this battle tonight, the Ming army is bound to win Yinshan."

As he spoke, Naha raised his foot and stepped on the ground beneath his feet.

Mahamu nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's see if the Fourth Prince Ming has any clever tricks. He is prepared for the Fourth Prince Ming, and so am I!"

Yesterday, near evening, the Ming army extended a frontal battle with Kuan Kuan.

He also made preparations.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

…

While Naha came out and Mahamu was talking, the Zhu brothers led their elites to the foot of the mountain and began to rush upward along the foot of the mountain.

rear.

Thousands of soldiers, taking advantage of the hazy sky, carried planks made of pieces of wood as thick as their wrists, followed closely, and climbed up the hillside with difficulty.

When Naha looked at the Ming army that had already appeared in the forest halfway up the mountain, he asked: "Is it possible to attack?"

Mahamu stared at the artillery camp at the foot of the mountain through the dense forest. He shook his head and pointed at the artillery camp of the Army's First Town Torch. He raised his hand and pointed at the artillery camp. Prepare to bombard us when we attack the retreating Ming army..."

"If you want to kill more Ming troops tonight, you have to put them up as much as possible. You can't chase them to the foot of the mountain. You should chase them below the mountainside and defeat the Ming troops. Then immediately withdraw your troops and rush back as fast as possible."

As long as you don't run into the bushland near the foot of the mountain.

Scattered and ran back.

The shelling could not damage many people.

Seeing Zhu Ru and others, they led their troops across the mountainside and formed a loose line in the dense forest.

In the middle of the line, the troops were obviously thicker in some places.

These points are the attack points.

Yesterday, they saw it.

The smile on Mahamu's lips flashed away, and he turned around and ordered the soldiers: "Blow the trumpet!"

Woo woo woo...

The horn sounded suddenly.

"kill!"

Behind the ridge, which was about two miles long, the Yuan army suddenly rushed out and rolled down from a high altitude.

"kill!"

The princes headed by Zhu Zhu suddenly raised their swords, shouted, quickened their pace, and rushed up!

Bang bang bang...

When the gunmen and archers from both sides approached, they took the lead in attacking.

Screams started immediately.

Then, with one move up and down, the two soldiers and horses collided with each other.

"Hurry up!"

At the rear, the soldiers with wooden planks, under the urging of generals at all levels, grabbed the bushes full of thorns and began to rush upward desperately.

Through the hazy night and the cover of trees.

After rushing to the mountainside, they began to connect the wooden boards according to the surrounding trees and tree trunks, either with nails or with temporary buckles made by the craftsmen of Army No. 1 Town.

Soon, a small camp appeared with openings toward the foot of the mountain, surrounded by wooden boards on three sides, and capable of accommodating more than a dozen people.

The soldiers who came up carrying the wooden planks began to load the firecrackers in a panic.

Light the match...

…

The whole process takes about one stick of incense.

After preparing everything, hide in the camp.

Hearing the shouts of killing coming from above, they held the gun tightly, looked at each other, held their breath and waited quietly.

The stalemate and shouts of death from above continued as time passed.

Poof!

A stray arrow shot into the soil beneath his feet.

Naha looked at the swinging arrow tail and turned to look at Mahamu.

Mahamu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, today they fought in turns and attacked for a whole day, consuming our troops and physical strength. Now we have to consume their physical strength too. We have the advantage of the terrain. The Ming army is under pressure. Every step forward, It takes several times the physical effort and battle damage..."

Nahachu turned his head and looked at the five thousand herdsmen militiamen who had already formed a reluctant formation behind him.

This is Mahamu, the backup force prepared today except for the 500 reserve team.

There are five thousand fresh troops.

I'm not afraid that the Ming army will really charge forward.

Wait until the Ming army's physical strength is exhausted to the extreme.

Then throw in this new force.

It will definitely kill more Ming troops!

He didn't believe it.

If the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty's partial army were here, they would leave twenty to thirty thousand corpses.

How much more fighting power can there be!

In the follow-up, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty launched an attack on the first army town and suffered heavy losses.

The cavalry thirty miles away to the east may not be able to defeat the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

In this Ming army.

They were most afraid of the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty's first army town.

Daliaohewei.

And, the entire army was assembled, nearly 40,000 cavalry.

Now, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty has not been able to play these trump cards.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Mahamu's command sounded suddenly, interrupting Naha's thoughts.

Woo woo woo...

"kill!"

Behind the mountain ridge, five thousand herdsmen and militiamen, with their horns sounding, shouting in confusion, raising their scimitars high, rushed up in confusion, crossed Mahamu and Nahachu, and rushed down.

"Son of a bitch!"

Zhu Rui slashed a Yuan army to death, and when he saw the densely packed herdsmen and militiamen wearing sheepskin robes, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.

at this time.

Little did he know that he persisted longer today than yesterday.

It was Mahamu who deliberately released the water.

Deliberately draining their physical strength and combat effectiveness.

They're counting the days.

Mahamu is not idle either!

This battlefield is really ever-changing.

"withdraw!"

Before the herders and militiamen rushed down and collided with each other, Zhu Zhu shouted.

Now that he understood that he had been fooled, he would not wait foolishly and let five thousand fresh troops collide directly.

This collision.

Maybe I have to account for more than a thousand brothers.

Woo woo woo...

The soldiers around Zhu Rui blew the horns while protecting Zhu Rui.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

…

Zhu Zi and Zhu Gui gave orders one after another.

Mahamu was slightly stunned.

It feels a little strange that Zhu Ru and others are not as persistent as yesterday.

But I can't think of anything strange about it.

Bang bang bang...

Just when the Yuan army chased Zhu Zhu and others and rushed down the mountainside.

The sound of dense firecrackers suddenly sounded.

By the light of the fire, Mahamu could vaguely see the camps.

Frowning slightly, he immediately turned his head and ordered the soldiers: "Send someone to check what's going on!"

After a while, the scouts sent out turned back and said, "General, the Ming army built some fortresses with wooden planks below. More than a dozen Ming soldiers hid in them. They first set off firecrackers and then restrained many of our troops..."

It was already very dark.

Five meters away, the figures seen were very blurry.

Mahamu watched intently, with a smile on his lips, "It's nothing, the camp can only contain part of the troops. Both sides have fifteen thousand people, and their strength is equal. We will fight them from top to bottom, even if they are contained. We were not afraid of some of the troops, and when we turned back, we took along the Ming troops who were hiding in the camp and killed them."

"Go, pass the order, and send troops to surround each camp. The others, according to the plan, continue to rush down!"

…

"kill!"

"kill!"

Not long after the messengers left, suddenly, fierce shouts of killing broke out halfway up the mountain.

Naha came out and Mahamu looked at each other suspiciously.

Just when the two were confused, the messenger who had just left panted and turned back, saying in a panic: "Your Majesty, General, more than a thousand Ming troops in the camp rushed out, ignored our troops besieging them, and rushed down the mountain..."

Naha came out and Mahamu's expressions changed instantly.

They have been attacking the Ming army from a high position.

It was too clear that suddenly a thousand Ming army elites rushed down, regardless of the soldiers and horses besieging them, and the power produced.

A thousand people may not seem like many.

But these thousand people jumped down from above, and their side's momentum of pushing down the Ming army might be disrupted.

Once the terrain is lost, the advantage of being high up.

were disrupted, forming a criss-crossing melee in the forest.

But it is very dangerous.

I won’t say whether the Ming army can attack or not.

At least the casualty ratio will be quickly evened out!

Even the Ming army could gain the upper hand with its armor and equipment!

Moreover, there are five thousand herdsmen on their side who have not received formal infantry training and do not even have leather armor!

"What a wonderful fourth prince!" Mahamu muttered through gritted teeth.

This round, he lost!

This tactic is very clever!

"Send the order, the remaining five hundred elites, go down to support..."

"Woooooooo..."

At this moment, a dull horn sound suddenly sounded from the distant mountain ridge in the west.

Mahamu and Nahachu suddenly turned around...

As far as the eye can see.

The light from the torch suddenly lit up from the ridge three miles away.

"kill!"

"kill!"

…

The shouts of killing filled the sky, and the flames rushed straight from the ridge to the battlefield on the hillside.

Nahachu murmured: "Where did this Ming army come from? Aren't our scouts always monitoring the camp of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

…

Of course they thought about the possibility that the Ming army might go around and climb mountains from the distance of Yinshan Mountain.

They have been sending troops to keep an eye on the Ming army camp.

It was impossible for Naha to think of it.

One day after setting off from Zhangbei.

Just as they set off for the mouth of the Three Gorges.

Zhu Di has divided his troops.

Moreover, they rushed westward for more than two hundred miles, and after nearly three hundred miles, they took the road north.

Mahamu watched as the Ming army rushed straight along the mountain ridge. As the distance approached, the uniforms of the Army's First Town were vaguely visible in the firelight.

Close your eyes in pain.

"Your Majesty, let's go, we are defeated!"

They were strangled together below, and it was too late to withdraw their troops.

I don’t want to be the prisoner of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty now.

The only way is to run right away!

The corners of Naha's lips twitched fiercely.

Zhang Bei only lost seven to eight thousand men.

In this battle, five thousand pastoral militiamen were added.

Throw away fifteen thousand people?

"The mountains to the east will also be evacuated?"

Mahamu nodded painfully, "The artillery of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is lighter than our artillery. If it can be towed by a wooden artillery cart, it can definitely be moved to the ridge of Yinshan Mountain. They are building artillery positions here, condescending. If we bomb the opposite side, we won’t be able to defend it!”

Naha Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Then withdraw!"

Immediately, Nahachu and Mahamu, escorted by 500 elite reserves, hurried along the shady side of Yinshan Mountain, leaving behind 15,000 soldiers and fled the battlefield.

"Fourth brother is here!"

"The Army's No. 1 town is coming to attack and kill!"

…

Below the mountainside, in the criss-crossed dense forest, Zhu and others heard the sound of horns and shouts of death. They raised their heads and looked to follow the sound. They saw the little lights approaching along the forest and suddenly shouted excitedly.

At the foot of the mountain.

Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief silently, with a smile on his lips, and said cheerfully: "This battle is won! Breaking through the entrance of the Three Gorges, on the way to Helin, the Yuan army has no more dangerous terrain to defend except fighting us in the field!"

Qiu Fu said with a smile: "Wei Guogong, no one thought that we would break through the Three Gorges mouth in two days, and the princes would perform so well!"

If the princes hadn't disrupted the Yuan army's rhythm today, the two sides would have been entangled in each other.

It would be difficult to completely annihilate this Yuan Army infantry!

…

The shouting of death lasted for half an hour.

Finally, when the attacking army soldiers and the feudal king's guards shouted, "The king of Yan will be victorious".

The resisting Yuan troops laid down their weapons one after another.

Defeat is certain, there are no reinforcements, and surrendering to the strong is not a shame in the hearts of the prairie people!

In the end, nearly 10,000 yuan troops surrendered.

Several thousand captains came to Zhu Di and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, on behalf of the soldiers, we are willing to surrender to the Fourth Prince."

Zhu Di frowned slightly and corrected: "You are surrendering to the Ming Dynasty!"

One of the captains raised his head and mustered up the courage to look at Zhu Di, "No, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, we are surrendering to you. If it weren't for you, we would have taken advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and the dark sky to escape from the forest..."

If it weren't for the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.

There are more than 10,000 of them, and they will not lay down their weapons and surrender like this.

Zhu Rui said excitedly: "Fourth brother, it doesn't matter who they surrender, as long as we win! Anyway, my father has agreed. All the captives are yours. In the future, I will let you take them out to sea, follow you, and be your people." …”

When several captains heard this, they all raised their heads.

The commander who spoke just now mustered up his courage and said: "Fourth Prince, is this true? If we surrender to the Fourth Prince, we will become his followers in the future??"

Zhu Di looked at several thousand captains in astonishment.

He actually saw happiness in the eyes of these losers.

You're not sick!

You are defeated!

Several captains looked at each other.

Plop!

Suddenly he knelt down on one knee and raised his hands, "We are willing to swear in the name of Changshengtian to be the followers of the Fourth Prince and follow the Fourth Prince!"

This time, even princes like Zhu Xi, who didn't care who the Yuan army surrendered to, were dumbfounded.

"I swear in the name of Changshengtian to follow the Fourth Prince and become his subordinate!"

The Yuan army, who were ordered to squat with their heads in their hands by the soldiers of the Army's First Town, fell to their knees one after another while Zhu Ru and others were stunned.

Zhu Xi and others looked at the Yuan army kneeling all over the mountain, and then looked at Zhu Di.

In the forest, all the officers and soldiers of the Ming army were like Zhu Zhu and others.

All eyes finally fell on Zhu Di.

Xu Da and others came up from the mountain and happened to see this scene.

Zhu Di looked at the prostrate Yuan army and couldn't laugh or cry.

The people of Ming Dynasty may not respect him so much, right?

Many elites hated him even more.

A group of prairie people actually...

After regaining consciousness, he ordered: "Everyone, get up and follow our soldiers down the mountain in an honest manner!"

"yes!"

After receiving the order, several thousand captains stood up, called to their generals, began to take the initiative to restrain the soldiers, and followed the Ming soldiers down the mountain.

Zhu Di and Xu Da said a few words.

Everyone went down the mountain together.

"My brother-in-law is so famous on the grassland?" Zhu Gui and his brothers followed behind, looking at Zhu Di's back and whispering.

Zhu Xi gritted his teeth angrily, turned his head fiercely, and glared at Zhu Gui.

When Zhu Gui saw it, he was not afraid at all. He patted his chest and said proudly: "The fourth brother is my brother-in-law! Isn't that right?"

"Brother-in-law, wait for me!"

At this time, calling him brother-in-law can show that he is unique among brothers!

no way!

Who said he and his fourth brother were brothers-in-law?

"shameless!"

"Old Thirteen is such a stinky and shameless thing!"

…

Zhu and the others yelled and chased after him.

Zhu Di and Xu Da turned to look at Zhu Gui, who was being chased by Zhu Xi and others and begging for mercy again and again.

Xu Da shook his head and looked at Zhu Di, "When you arrived, I had already sent people to report the victory. This time we will send people ourselves."

Those people in the Prince's system do that, but it's nothing from their standpoint.

But these people's vision is too narrow.

The army's first town soldiers were disappointed again and again.

In the future, Ming Dynasty will ask for help from Shi Lang.

How to open your mouth?

Zhu Di nodded with a smile.

…

Two days later.

Zhang Bei.

Shuai Mansion.

Zhu Biao and the generals who stayed behind in Zhangbei visually reported the victory to their troops and left in a hurry.

All fell into silence.

"Two days?"

Someone murmured softly, and immediately, the entire meeting hall became noisy and boiling.

"The entrance to the Three Gorges was captured in two days?"

"The attack lasted nearly six hundred miles back and forth. On the first day after setting off from Zhangbei, King Yan launched an attack?"

"The Yuan army had 15,000 people, and 10,000 people surrendered to King Yan? Is it true or false?"

…

Everyone looked in disbelief.

Capture the mouth of the Three Gorges in two days!

No more than 2,000 people were injured.

But captured 10,000 yuan of troops?

No, this group of Yuan troops surrendered to King Yan directly on the battlefield!

main.

The group of princes who had never fought before followed Zhu Silang and performed very well.

In this northern expedition, the prince has not made any achievements.

Did these princes make meritorious deeds first?

Passed back to the DPRK...

This time, they moved all the way and directly sent out soldiers to report the victory.

Even if they want to do something, they can't do it!

‘It’s not that the princes are too good, it’s Zhu Silang who is good! ’

The two great victories in the Northern Expedition were both achieved by Zhu Silang.

Is the prince under any pressure nowadays?

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Biao vaguely from the corner of his eye...
