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

Zhu Di stood up slowly, stared at the waves of dust rolling in the distance, and allowed Minfeng to bandage his wounds.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of rapid footsteps came.

Tan Yuan and others came one after another, stood beside Zhu Di, and stared at the direction in which the dust wave was sweeping.

Zhu Di ordered: "Blow the trumpet and let the brothers who are collecting supplies under the city come to the top of the city."

Woo woo woo...

The order was given, and soon the horn sounded.

The soldiers walked to the top of the city one after another, and under the command of generals at all levels, they sorted the collected materials into categories.

At the same time, keep an eye on the outside of the city.

…

Inner city of south city.

Several thousand captains headed by Haitong also heard the news.

There were excited discussions.

"The prince is here!"

"It's okay now. The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is the belly pork we Mongolians are best at making. We are inside, those hot stones in the belly pork!"

"Haitong, this time we surrendered. If you hadn't insisted on letting the brothers go to the city to guard last night, I'm afraid we would have either become prisoners of the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty, or had withdrawn from Helin in embarrassment. We would be the sinners of the grassland. There is an opportunity like this!”

"Yes! It's not easy to force the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty into such a situation! This is probably the only chance!"

…

When Haitong heard the compliments from everyone, the smile on his lips disappeared.

Indeed, the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty could be forced into such a situation.

It's not easy.

In fact, not all of it is his fault.

He only accounts for half at most.

The remaining half is the main army led by Ming Taizi Zhu Biao.

Why was the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty so eager to conquer Helin?

They probably guessed that they secretly transferred all their elite main forces to Yuerhai.

The most elite force of the Ming Dynasty is heading towards an extremely dangerous trap step by step.

Although the Ming Dynasty has millions of troops.

But the real essence is the 500,000 from this northern expedition.

If this five hundred thousand is lost.

It was equivalent to breaking the backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty could only take risks and rush thousands of miles to attack.

Then, knowing that they were heavily defended, they launched a fierce attack regardless of fatigue.

The outer city was captured.

Are they and the soldiers below incompetent?

No!

Even the elites of the Ming Dynasty were only 30 to 40% better than them at most.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would have marched straight into the grassland and plowed the grasslands to sweep the holes.

This is the number one army in the army. The elites carefully trained by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty are too fierce and fierce.

A team of more than a hundred people.

Facing more than a thousand cavalry, they charged forward.

He was not immediately frightened by the cavalry's charging momentum, but he completed the volley and was already the best among the best!

But that centurion last night.

After completing the firing.

Knowing that he is outmatched.

Certain death!

But it's just to buy time for Pao Ze later.

Unexpectedly, he was not afraid of death and had no fear at all. He erected a small 'forest of guns' formation composed of guns and swords.

Witnessed with my own eyes, the cavalry's iron hooves finally trampled over my body!

Examples like this.

They were everywhere in last night's siege.

This scene could not be forgotten in his mind!

The best he has ever seen.

Even the elites of the Ming Dynasty would never be able to do this!

What makes the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the army, so unafraid of death?

Military pay?

The prestige of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?

…

These reasons, he felt, were not enough to make a group of flesh and blood behave like this.

‘There must be something I don’t know about among the soldiers in Army No. 1 Town, which supports them not to be afraid of death! ’

It is not simply because of the prestige of the fourth prince Ming.

If we can capture the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty or the soldiers of the first town of the army.

He must ask clearly.

Clear up the doubts in your mind.

"Haitong, look!"

Haitong heard the sound and looked in the direction of the finger of the Ten Thousand Masters beside him...

Guan Guan led Sun Yuanchu and his soldiers to carry stretchers with their bare hands and took the wounded soldiers of the Yuan army close to the inner city wall.

"Archer!"

A captain of ten thousand men shouted an order, and Hai Tong raised his hand to stop him, "Slow down!"

"Let's see what the Fourth Prince Ming wants to do."

The urn city formed by the outer city and the inner city is only about a hundred steps apart.

When Hai Tong spoke, Sun Yuanchu had already arrived about ten steps closer to the inner city. He stamped his feet, raised his head and shouted: "The First Battalion of the First Association, the First Standard of the First Town of the Dongfan Army, in charge of Sun Yuanchu, by the order of the prince, will The wounded in your unit are transferred to your unit, but we do not have enough doctors. The war is imminent, and we do not have the extra manpower to take care of your wounded..."

Sun Yuanchu said very verbosely.

The Yuan army at the head of the city, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, were all shocked.

Hand over the wounded?

An anecdote for the ages!

Unheard of in ancient times!

In the past, when the two sides fought, the prisoners who were lightly wounded would clean up the battlefield and give the other side a quick blow out of kindness.

Even if it’s your own side.

Except for those whose injuries are not serious, they will be treated.

Those with serious injuries.

Even his own party, Pao Ze, would be ruthless and have a good time.

"What is the Fourth Prince Ming doing?"

"Could it be a scam?"

"Third brother! My third brother is still alive!"

"I, Anda, am alive too!"

…

Several captains looked at the city, and their soldiers either shouted or talked curiously.

He frowned slightly.

One of the Ten Thousand Captains looked at Hai Tong, "Hai Tong, what is the fourth prince of Ming doing? How could such a murderous god show mercy?"

The other ten thousand captains also looked at Hai Tong.

A battle last night.

Although Haitong was captured by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the outer city was captured.

But everyone still admires Hai Tong.

"Actually, kindness is often more powerful than sharp weapons!" Haitong stared at the hundreds of wounded soldiers under the city, frowning.

Immediately, he turned to look at Pao Ze beside him, "Look at our soldiers here. Now, I'm afraid everyone knows that the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty and the first army town under his command will show mercy once the war is over. If in the future , when we face the Army's First Town and face adversity, how much determination will the soldiers have to resist..."

Facing adversity.

The risk of failure suddenly becomes greater.

Already desperate.

And the benevolence and righteousness shown by the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty and the first army town.

It will go further and destroy the soldiers' determination to resist.

Everyone wonders.

Army No. 1 Town treats even wounded soldiers so kindly, surely they won’t kill prisoners, right?

"This is the power of kindness to the enemy, and kindness is also very powerful to the first town of their army..."

He understands somewhat now.

Why is the Army's No. 1 town so unafraid of death?

First of all, the four princes of the Ming Dynasty were so kind to enemy prisoners.

He will definitely treat his brothers more kindly.

Secondly.

A team that kills the enemy on the battlefield without fear of death can control the evil spirit and hatred after the war and does not target the prisoners.

Such an army is not simply about killing.

He came from this group of opponents under the city.

I saw humanity!

He carefully studied the culture of the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains culture, human nature has always been advocated.

The Central Plains culture believes that human nature is the source of a person’s strength!

The more humane an individual is, the more he can tap into his potential to the greatest extent.

In the past, he was skeptical of this kind of discussion.

Because he has never met such a person before.

But now, he vaguely felt that he had seen it.

Just below the city!

Just on the opposite side of the city!

"What should Sea Boy do now?"

"Yes, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty defeated our army."

"Otherwise, directly order the archers to kill these wounded soldiers in the name of killing the first army town!"

…

Haitong listened to the bad ideas of the captains around him.

Turning his head and smiling bitterly, "The two armies are fighting without killing the envoys, and ordering these wounded soldiers to be shot will stop the kindness shown by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and the first army town?"

What's more, the Army's first town sent the wounded.

Did they order the shooting?

The brothers witnessed it with their own eyes and perhaps did not say anything out of fear.

But people's hearts are gone.

"Open the city gate!"

Hai Tong left a word, turned around and walked towards the inner city.

Squeak!

A harsh and heavy sound came out.

Haitong personally led the people out, walked up to Sun Yuanchu, looked at Sun Yuanchu carefully, cupped his fists and said: "Tell King Yan that he is a respectable opponent. Your first army commander is also the best soldier in the world today!"

…

Sun Yuanchu listened with a smile on his lips and puffed up his chest subconsciously.

Haitong saw the reaction of Sun Yuanchu and the soldiers in the first army town behind him, and secretly sighed.

He continued: "If King Yan or Qin Mo's first army town is captured in the next war, he will be the most distinguished guest of my grassland! After this war, I can promise on behalf of the Khan and King of Liaoyang to send you away from the grassland. , go back to Dongfan!"

The atmosphere of Army No. 1 Town.

They can’t be stingy either!

What's more, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty and the first army town under his command are indeed worthy of respect.

The fourth prince Ruoming really became a prisoner.

He risked his life.

We must also ask the King of Liaoyang to save his life.

There was no need for the Ming Dynasty to cede territory and pay compensation in exchange, but he had to urge the royal court to release the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Such an opponent deserves such courtesy!

Sun Yuanchu cupped his fists and smiled: "Although we will never lose, I still want to thank Captain Ten Thousands."

Haitong's words were an endorsement of their army's first town.

Gotta thank you.

After saying this, Sun Yuanchu waved his hand.

The soldiers behind carried the stretcher and helped Beiyuan's wounded soldiers to the front.

After Sun Yuanchu clasped his fists, he raised his arms and waved, turned around and left with the soldiers.

Haitong watched Sun Yuanchu and others leave, and took a long time to look away.

In fact, he wanted to ask Sun Yuanchu what was the reason that made them so fearless of life and death!

However, the timing was not right.

…

Neither Sun Yuanchu nor Haitong realized that they had completed their first battlefield act of benevolence and righteousness since the Spring and Autumn Period.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Rites and music collapsed.

New war etiquette has appeared for the first time since battlefield tactics, intrigues, and all-purpose tactics became popular.

…

The outer city wall.

Tan Yuan and others watched Sun Yuanchu hand over the wounded soldiers and return smoothly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Turn around and look outside the city.

The Yuan army's cavalry, as black as locusts, lay two miles away.

Zhu Di ordered: "Drive the captured Beiyuan infantry out of the city, let them find Naha to come out, and then seal the city gate!"

…

"What is the Ming army doing?"

"It seems like one of ours?"

"Has Helin been lost?"

…

In front of the cavalry square formation, Naha came out and Mahamu'er heard the soldiers behind them whispering.

He frowned and stared at the soldiers pouring out of the city gate.

Mahamu turned to Naha suspiciously and said, "Your Majesty, what is the fourth prince of Ming doing?"

So shocking.

He Lin's infantry numbered 70,000 to 80,000.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty actually captured the outer city.

I don’t know what the situation is like in the inner city.

They have already sent out scouts to check the other gates.

Naha shook his head.

He couldn't figure out what Zhu Di was doing.

After a while.

The Beiyuan prisoners who had been driven out of the city approached.

A captain came over, knelt on the ground, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, we lost the outer city! The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and his Army No. 1 Town are so powerful. Their infantry of more than a hundred people dare not be afraid. Face to face more than a thousand cavalry..."

"Shut up!"

Naha noticed the generals around him, and the more he heard, the more frightened they looked, and he yelled angrily.

The captain fell silent for a moment.

Naha asked: "Why did the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty let you go?"

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty said that their Army No. 1 Town has no habit of killing prisoners and cannot afford to detain us, so he asked us to go out of the city to find the Prince."

…

Naha's lips twitched.

After all, Zhu Di is confident.

Or humiliate him.

Even if we get this batch of troops, we still can't take back the outer city!

No!

The other side is still using these released prisoners to affect the morale of the army!

"Your Majesty, this is an opponent who is both respected and feared!" Mahamu smiled bitterly.

Glancing not far away, he saw the soldiers who were being released anxiously.

He would rather the fourth prince kill the prisoners directly!

Why not Naha?

Seven thousand soldiers were released.

But it doesn't make you feel happy at all.

Instead, it seemed like I had eaten a fly and it was so blocked!

"Come here, settle the returning soldiers."

…

Ta-ta-ta...

Naha issued the order, and the released Beiyuan troops were taken to the back one after another and isolated separately.

The sound of rapid horse hooves came.

Haitong and others came on horseback following the scouts sent by Nahachu.

After getting close.

Hai Tong was the first to get off his horse, kneel down on one knee while stroking his chest: "It will be a capital crime to lose the outer city!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to say something fair for Hai Tong. I received the prince's order last night. If Hai Tong had not insisted on the whole army to be on guard in the city, I am afraid that He Lin would have been lost."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this battle is definitely not about Haitong losing his life. The Army's First Town is really too strong. The Army's First Town is much more powerful than the elites of the Ming Dynasty!"

…

Naha looked at the several captains who spoke for Haitong in surprise.

Sea boy has power.

But because of Jiang Ming's stain, he has been ridiculed by the captains under his command.

Now these ten thousand captains interceded together for the sea boy.

It seems that this war is not a crime of war!

"Get up, I don't blame you, the current situation is just right!"

It's just right.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty himself, as well as the first army town under his command, were blocked at the head of the outer city.

Very good for them!

Haitong Xie En stood up, got on his horse again, came to Naha Chu's side, and looked at the busy soldiers of the Army's First Town on the top of the outer city.

Telling the details of last night's battle.

Finally, he concluded: "Your Majesty, the First Army is an army that I have never seen before. Their innovations are not only new in uniforms, weapons, and tactics, but also the inner military spirit. They are all things that I have never seen before." I have seen this army. When the war is going on, it is fearless and good at killing. But when the war is over, it can quickly restore its humanity..."

He doesn't know.

Are the four new armies of the Ming Dynasty also like the first army town?

If so.

It will probably be very difficult to set up an ambush in the fishing sea.

"Impossible!" Naha shook his head very decisively, "The new armies of the four towns of the Ming Dynasty were compiled and trained by the people of the Ming Dynasty on the basis of the old army of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how they are transformed, the old things will be very different. To a large extent, it can’t be left behind like the Army’s First Town!”

Mahamu nodded, agreeing with Naha Chu's opinion.

He didn't believe that those people in the Ming Dynasty could bring out the essence of the military training of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty to the extreme.

This is common sense.

Many people learn from others.

Often only the appearance is learned.

Instead of learning the kernel!

Haitong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the new armies in the four towns of the Ming Dynasty are not like the first army town, they will eventually win this battle!

Haitong looked at Naha Chu, "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty to take the main force and reach Helin?"

Nahachu smiled immediately.

Mahamu replied for Naha: "In three days, we left Duke Xu Da of Wei behind, at least three days' journey away!"

"Three days are enough!" Naha laughed and said, "Order the soldiers to rest immediately. In the afternoon, we will attack both inside and outside the city at the same time, regardless of casualties!"

After Naha came out, the generals around him took orders and left.

Hai Tong requested: "Your Majesty, if we can capture the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty alive in this battle, I hope that we will treat the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty as the most distinguished guest of our grassland. After the battle, without any conditions, we will send the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty back with a grand ceremony." Ming dynasty."

Naha came out and Mahamu looked at Hai Tong in astonishment.

Hai Tong explained, "Your Majesty, Zhu Di released the prisoners and handed over the wounded soldiers. Although he had his own plans, his actions and courage all proved that the other party was an opponent worthy of respect."

Naha came out and Mahamu was thoughtful.

Indeed worthy of respect.

But they are different from Haitong.

Haitong is just a general, and he simply thinks that the fourth prince deserves respect.

As the leaders of a force, they had to consider the pros and cons of releasing the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

At some point.

Naha laughed and said: "Yes, I will try my best to make it happen, but whether it can happen or not, it is up to Khan to decide!"

"Add me one!" Mahamu said with a hearty smile.

If you win this battle.

Ming Taizi Zhu Biao was either captured or killed in battle.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty had many enemies within the Ming Dynasty.

If they send you back with a grand ceremony.

I am afraid that the spearhead against the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty will be even sharper.

There is a high probability that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty will be completely disheartened and leave overseas.

In any case, it cannot continue to threaten the grassland.

Secondly, it is said that the fourth prince holds a very important position in Emperor Zhu's heart.

Who supports the release of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty?

You can establish a relationship with Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was defeated in this battle.

Ming Dynasty will experience turmoil internally.

After the grassland wins this battle, it will also launch a melee to win the grassland.

Maybe we can get some benefits from Emperor Zhu?

Don’t say anything else.

As long as Emperor Zhu allows merchants from the Central Plains to trade with Mongolia.

He can benefit immensely!

…

Naha looked at Hai Tong and several infantry captains, "Okay, you go back immediately, still with Hai Tong as the commander, and launch an attack in the afternoon!"

"Within three days, we must annihilate the first army town and capture the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty!"

"You should know very well that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may only come once!"

"Tell all the soldiers to kill one of the army's first soldiers and reward them with thirty sheep..."

"In short, as long as we can defeat the first army town, I will prepare 300,000 sheep, 50,000 cattle, and 30,000 horses as rewards for all the soldiers in the army!"

"As you command!"

All the generals shouted in unison and enthusiastically accepted the order.

Everyone knows it.

How difficult it is to surround and kill the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.

When 200,000 cavalry gathered together to attack and suppress the enemy, they were all escaped by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty had not been eager to conquer Helin, he would then have reinforced the Ming prince Zhu Biao.

It is impossible to attack thousands of miles.

It is impossible to be trapped in a small city.

It is even more impossible to be separated from the main force in three days' journey!
