Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 11 Confrontation on the Canal, Feng Guerrilla
Just when Li Wenkui wanted to take the opportunity to educate Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong straightened his body and suddenly said, "At noon tomorrow, the three armies will go ashore and attack Liu Zeqing's army. Anyone who dares to attack our army will be killed without mercy. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without forgiveness." .”

Seeing the serious expression on Zhu Cixiang's face, Zhang Yong knew that the time had come for him to make a contribution, so he came to Zhu Cixiang, squatted down and said, "I will obey your orders."

Li Wenkui, Zhang Ruowang, and Li Jin looked at the scene in front of them and looked at each other, not knowing what to say. If they knew some modern vocabulary, they would definitely say the word speechless without thinking.

My God, that's an army of [-], we only have a few hundred people, and we have to protect the princess and the prince. Is the prince possessed by a ghost, or is he saying this out of a young man's competitive spirit, Li Wenkui thought to himself.

No, His Royal Highness cannot be allowed to act recklessly, otherwise everyone will suffer. After Li Wenkui and the three looked at each other, they all came to Zhu Cihong to persuade him.

"Your Highness, you can't do it. If you use weapons and generals rashly, you may be criticized by others. Princess Kuang and the two kings are in the boat. If the war breaks out and spreads to others, wouldn't it be the crime of the ministers and soldiers?" Li Wenkui He spoke righteously, as if he was admonishing some foolish king.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong didn't like him. No matter how beautiful Li Wenkui's words were, it was useless. If he listened to them, he would be no different from Chongzhen.

I saw Zhu Cihong pretending to be angry, flicking his sleeves, and said to the three of them, "The three of you are originally civil servants, and have nothing to do with military affairs. Civil servants and generals are originally in two squads, so why are you arguing."

Li Jin and Zhang Ruowang saw Zhu Cihong's angry appearance, and forgot what they wanted to say, so they could only stand aside and cupped their hands and said, "Your Highness, please think again."

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but find it funny seeing their loyal ministers admonishing them, feeling that they were like the unlucky ones in some dramas who were about to be dragged out and beheaded by the order of the faint king.

"That's enough. You are ministers, and I am the king. The king's order must not be violated. The three of you should go to rest early. Let's see how the heavenly soldiers defeat Liu Zeqing's army tomorrow." Zhu Cihong felt that it would be useless to talk to them.

They were civil servants who passed the imperial examination. In terms of words and debating ability, naturally even ten Zhu Cixiang could not catch up with them, so Zhu Cixiang used the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles of feudal society to suppress them, suppressing them until they could not say a word.

Although Zhu Cihong has not yet succeeded to the throne as emperor, he is the crown prince and the monarch of these auxiliary ministers in the East Palace. The three cardinal principles and five constant principles are applicable to the relationship between them.

Sure enough, Li Wenkui and the others were completely speechless after hearing this, and the three of them looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't get any cheap from Zhu Cihong, so they flicked their sleeves and went back to their own cabin.

To be honest, Li Wenkui and the others also wanted to see what unexpected moves the prince could make.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Cihong ordered all the soldiers to go ashore and at the same time erected the urgently made royal flags, and specially made some Zhu and Ming flags to show that this was an army belonging to the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.

After the flag was erected, the troops in the south that blocked Zhu Cihong's road to the south unexpectedly started to riot. Although the illiteracy rate in this era is terribly high, there are still many people who can do it if they only know one or two characters and their own surname. .

Seeing the characters Zhu and Ming on the flag, they all realized that they were fighting against the emperor's army, so they panicked one by one.

The supremacy of imperial power has been imprinted in the DNA of this ancient country for thousands of years. Whenever imperial power is mentioned, everyone will tremble involuntarily, as if it is something as terrifying as the underworld.

Zhu Cihong was very good at seizing the opportunity. Seeing that Liu Zeqing's army in the south was in a panic, he ordered the soldiers behind him to shout with him, "At noon today, anyone who dares to violate the might of Heaven and prevent the prince from going south will be killed without mercy."

"Kill Unforgiven! Kill Unforgiven!" The voices of the soldiers overwhelmed the waves, and the sound waves hit the ears of every soldier in Liu Zeqing's army, bringing them a blow.

Liu Zeqing, who commanded the army to the south of Zhu Cihong, sent a guerrilla general surnamed Feng. Liu Zeqing ordered him to block Zhu Cilang on the canal and wait for his further orders.

Zhu Cixiang's move south is a big deal, and Liu Zeqing can't make up his mind on his own. Yesterday, he quickly sent people to Jinling to report to Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Shi Kefa and others for discussion.

The reason why he did this was not because he took refuge in any one of them, but because Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, was sent to Jinling a few days ago, and it is said that he has already supervised the country.

Fu Wang was the emperor who was unanimously supported by the civil and military officials from the four towns in Jiangbei and Jinling who were staying behind after consultations and negotiations. But now Zhu Cihong suddenly appeared, which made him really do not know what to do.

That's why Feng Gueran was sent by Liu Zeqing to stop Zhu Cihong.

Closer to home, Feng Guerzilla didn't know what to do after seeing Zhu Cihong's majestic appearance leaping on his horse and raising his sword and shouting "Kill without mercy".

In all fairness, a guerrilla general doesn't care about any emperor or emperor, especially a person of ordinary background like him, because he knows that those high-ranking things have nothing to do with him.

What really determines your life and death is your own efforts, or to put it more pessimistically, it all depends on God's will and luck.

But it was also like this, Feng Guerzilla never thought that he would have any relationship with such a high-ranking figure as Zhu Cihong, so he didn't know how to deal with it at this moment.

Fortunately, he was reminded by the deputy general around him, so he remembered to send a few messengers to Huai'an Mansion to report what happened today to Liu Zeqing and wait for his orders.

Unfortunately, Zhu Cihong would not give him this time. As soon as noon came, he ordered Zhang Zhong to take the lead with about 3000 infantrymen, and walked slowly towards Feng Gueran's [-] men.

And he himself was riding on a horse, wearing a bright yellow Mingguang armor embroidered with python patterns, which was bestowed on him by the Daxing Emperor Chongzhen on his birthday.

Zhu Cihong led a group of Mongolian cavalry in heavy armor, and the remaining half of the guard cavalry, walked from one side of the marching team, and walked around to the side of Feng Guerzhan.

At that time, the military formations of both sides were set up along the canal. The difference was that Feng Guerrilla's army formation was thicker, while Zhang Zhong's army formation was thinner.
