Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

General Li took the lead, his spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, invincible, and every swing of his spear could take away the lives of several enemy soldiers.

"Follow me, for the Ming Dynasty!" General Li shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and courage. The cavalrymen behind him followed closely, their weapons flashing coldly, and every confrontation could scare the enemy.

Although the enemy army was large in number, they gradually showed signs of weakness under the fierce attack of the Ming soldiers. Their lines began to become chaotic and their morale dropped sharply. Some enemy soldiers began to abandon their weapons and turn around to flee, while more were killed by the Ming soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhu Han raised a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, he found that a position on the enemy's left wing was particularly weak. There were only a few soldiers defending there, and their morale was close to collapse. Zhu Han immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

"Pass the order down, concentrate the forces to attack the enemy's left wing!" Zhu Han issued the order through the messenger. At the same time, he personally led an elite team to go around the enemy's rear, ready to launch a fatal attack.

As Zhu Han's order was issued, the Ming soldiers immediately adjusted their tactics and concentrated their firepower to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's left wing. The infantry phalanx pincered the enemy's main force from the front, while the cavalry launched a surprise attack from the flank and rear, forming a three-sided pincer attack.

The elite team led by Zhu Han appeared behind the enemy like a ghost. They took advantage of the terrain and quickly approached the enemy position. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the enemy, Zhu Han suddenly waved his hand and the team members immediately launched a charge.

"Kill!" Zhu Han roared loudly, his voice full of majesty and power. The elite team rushed into the enemy's position in an instant like a tiger descending from the mountain, and started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the enemy.

Zhu Han's roar echoed over the battlefield, inspiring every member of the elite team. With sharp blades in hand and a determined light in their eyes, they fought a desperate battle with the enemy.

"For the Ming Dynasty, for my family!" A team member shouted as he charged forward, the long knife in his hand cutting through the air and accurately slashing at the neck of an enemy soldier, blood gushing out instantly.

The comrades around them were encouraged and attacked more fiercely. They slashed with swords or thrust with spears, and every action was full of strength and determination. Under the impact of the elite squad, the enemy soldiers were thrown into disarray and retreated one after another.

Zhu Han led the charge, his movements were agile and precise, and every move he made could inflict heavy damage on the enemy. While fighting, he observed the battlefield situation and looked for the best route to attack.

"Follow me!" Zhu Han turned suddenly and pointed to a densely populated area of ​​the enemy, where the enemy soldiers were trying to reorganize their defenses. The members of the elite team followed Zhu Han and rushed to that area.

"Kill!" Zhu Han roared again, his voice full of arrogance. The spear in his hand was like a dragon swimming out of the sea, and every thrust brought the enemy down. The members of the elite team were not to be outdone, they fought on their own, but they cooperated tacitly and completely tore through the enemy's defenses.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing rose and fell, forming a tragic war song. With fearless courage and firm belief, the Ming soldiers fought a desperate battle with the enemy.

Zhu Han shuttled across the battlefield, his figure as elusive as a ghost. Sometimes he appeared on the enemy's flank and delivered a fatal blow; sometimes he retreated to the main camp to command and dispatch to ensure the orderly conduct of the battle.

"Hold your ground, don't give the enemy any chance to take advantage!" Zhu Han's voice spread across the battlefield through the horn, inspiring every soldier. Under Zhu Han's command, the infantry phalanx was as solid as a rock, and no matter how the enemy attacked, it remained motionless.

At the same time, the cavalry led by General Lee also launched a fierce charge on the flank, using the speed and impact of horses to tear through the enemy's defenses time and time again, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.

"General Li, pass the order down, have the cavalry disperse and attack from multiple directions at the same time to create chaos." Zhu Han held the command flag and gave the order to General Li beside him with sharp eyes. His voice was soft, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

When General Li heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately understood Zhu Han's intention and responded loudly: "I obey your command!" Then he turned around and gave orders to the cavalry under his command.

Following General Li's order, the cavalry troops that had been assembled quickly dispersed and rushed towards the enemy from all directions like a tide. The enemy was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and their formation was in chaos, and their morale plummeted.

"Lieutenant General Zhang, order the infantry phalanx to advance slowly, maintain the formation, and don't rush for success." Zhu Han turned to Lieutenant General Zhang on the other side and gave the order in a deep voice. His eyes were always fixed on the battlefield, and he was thinking about the next step in his mind.

Deputy General Zhang received the order and quickly conveyed it. After receiving the order, the infantry phalanx began to advance forward at a slow and firm pace, with the spears and shields in their hands forming an indestructible line of defense.

"Your Highness, now is the best time to set up the Bagua Formation." Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao who was watching the battle on the side and said, with a bit of confidence and expectation in his tone.

When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of curiosity and admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew that the Bagua formation was powerful, but he had never seen its power with his own eyes. He nodded in agreement, his eyes full of expectation.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhu Han's eyes flashed with determination, and he shouted loudly: "Form a formation! Bagua formation!" With his order, the infantry phalanx that had been advancing steadily changed instantly, and the soldiers moved quickly according to the predetermined directions, as if an invisible force was guiding them.

The Bagua formation is based on the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, with yin and yang interlaced and infinitely varied. Soldiers are arranged according to the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, forming a complex circular formation. Soldiers in each position hold spears and shields and work closely together, as if each part is the key to the formation.

Zhu Han stood at the center of the formation, holding the command flag, calmly directing the changes in the Bagua formation. The subtlety of the Bagua formation lies in its fluidity and variability, which can change with the enemy's situation and overcome the hard with the soft.

Seeing this, the enemy couldn't help but panic. They had never seen such a strange formation before, and for a moment they didn't know where to start. However, Zhu Han didn't give them too much time to think. He suddenly waved the flag, and the Bagua formation moved and began to rotate slowly.

As the Bagua formation rotated, the soldiers in the formation moved at a set pace, and their spears and shields intertwined into an airtight net, gradually surrounding the enemy. The enemy tried to break through the formation, but found that no matter which direction they attacked, they would be attacked by soldiers from other directions, and could not form an effective breakthrough at all.

Seeing this, Zhu Han sneered. The power of the Bagua formation was gradually showing. He continued to wave the flag and adjust the formation, making the enemy rush left and right in the formation, but still unable to escape.

The enemy soldiers were exhausted in the Bagua formation, and their morale gradually declined. They began to realize that this seemingly simple circular formation actually concealed a mystery, and if they were not careful, they would fall into an irretrievable situation. At the same time, the cavalry led by General Li cruised around the periphery of the Bagua formation, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They used the speed and impact of the horses to constantly harass the enemy, making it impossible for them to concentrate their forces to deal with the soldiers in the Bagua formation.

Zhu Han stood at the core of the Bagua formation, his eyes were sharp as torches, and he kept a close eye on the enemy's every move. Through the command of the flag and the tacit cooperation of the soldiers, he brought the power of the Bagua formation to its extreme. The enemy rushed left and right in the formation, but could not find a way to break the formation, and could only watch themselves fall into a desperate situation.

As time went by, the enemy soldiers' physical strength gradually ran out, and their morale also hit rock bottom. They began to give up resistance and surrendered or fled one after another. Seeing this, Zhu Han immediately ordered to pursue the fleeing enemy troops to ensure that there would be no future trouble.

The Bagua formation shined on the battlefield. Its subtle changes and the tacit cooperation of the soldiers made the enemy fearful. After this battle, the name of the Bagua formation became famous and became one of the magic weapons of the Ming army to defeat the enemy.

With the great victory of the Bagua formation, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao showed a rare sense of relief and satisfaction on their faces. The afterglow of the setting sun filled the battlefield, covering this land that was once full of gunpowder with a layer of golden coat.

Zhu Han turned to look at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of admiration: "Biao'er, in today's battle, you and I, uncle and nephew, worked together to achieve this victory."

Zhu Biao bowed and humbly replied, "It is all thanks to Uncle Wang's planning and the bravery of the soldiers. I am just doing my bit. However, although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated, its remnants still exist. We must not take it lightly."

Zhu Han nodded, his eyes deep: "Biao'er is right. Although the Northern Yuan has retreated, its ambitions are still alive. We must always be vigilant. This time, we must not only eliminate the remaining forces, but also consolidate the borders and ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty."

As the two were talking, a messenger came running over and knelt on one knee to report: "Your Highness Prince Han and Your Highness the Crown Prince, our army has recaptured several cities occupied by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, captured thousands of enemy soldiers, and seized countless war horses and supplies."

Zhu Han heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Okay! Pass the order down, reward meritorious soldiers, appease the people, and restore people's livelihood. At the same time, strengthen the city's defense to prevent the Northern Yuan counterattack."

The messenger took the order and left. Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, the situation in the northern border has yielded results, but the situation in the court is still complicated. You need to return to the capital as soon as possible to stabilize the government and prevent the scoundrels from causing chaos."

Zhu Biao nodded and agreed: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Biao will set off immediately. But, as for Zhu Di..." He hesitated to speak, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Han gently patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said earnestly: "You don't need to worry too much about Di'er. Although he is ambitious, it will not be achieved overnight. You need to consolidate your position, make friends, and strengthen intelligence gathering. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Zhu Biao heard this, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Wang's teachings, Biao'er will remember them in my heart. When Biao'er returns to the capital, I will go all out and live up to the high expectations of my father and uncle."

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Biao was ready to set off back to the capital. Before leaving, Zhu Han personally put on the armor for Zhu Biao, his eyes full of love and expectation: "Biao'er, the journey to the capital is long, so be careful. Remember, no matter where you are, you must stay calm and rational, so that you can face all challenges."

Zhu Biao bowed and said in a firm voice: "Uncle Wang, don't worry. I will follow your teachings and live up to your trust." After that, he mounted his horse and set out on the journey back to the capital with a team of elite guards.

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao's receding back, feeling both reluctant and expectant.

A few days later, in the capital.

As soon as Zhu Biao returned to the capital, he immediately went to the palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang and reported in detail the results of the northern expedition and the situation on the border. Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased and spoke highly of Zhu Biao's growth and achievements.

However, the situation in the court was far more complicated than that on the border. Zhu Biao knew that he had to be more cautious and work harder to consolidate his position as the crown prince and resist threats from all sides.

One morning after the court session, Zhu Biao summoned his trusted staff to the East Palace to discuss strategies for dealing with the situation in the court. The atmosphere in the study was solemn and tense, and everyone's face was full of worry and determination.

Zhu Biao stood in the middle of the study, his eyes swept over everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the situation in the court is becoming increasingly tense, and Zhu Di's ambitions are obvious. We must make arrangements in advance to prevent any unexpected events."

An elderly staff member, Mr. Chen, stood up and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Your Highness is right. Zhu Di has great prestige in the court and commands a large army. He should not be underestimated. We must strengthen intelligence gathering to understand his movements and plans."

Another young aide, Li Mo, expressed a different view: "Your Highness, intelligence is important, but the key is how to win the support of the court officials. We can use Zhu Di's ambition and behavior as a weapon to fight back, expose his disloyalty, and let the court officials see his true colors."

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Li Mo said makes sense. We must not only expose Zhu Di's conspiracy, but also show our prince's benevolence and wisdom, so that the court officials can see our determination and ability."

At this time, Lord Zhao, who was in charge of intelligence, interrupted and said, "Your Highness, I have secretly sent people to closely monitor Zhu Di's movements. According to reliable information, he is secretly making friends with important officials in the court and plotting something bad. We must take immediate action to crush his conspiracy."

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Okay! Pass the order down, strengthen intelligence collection, and make sure that every piece of intelligence is accurate. At the same time, we must also strengthen the unity of the Qingliu faction in the court and let them become our solid backing."

All the staff nodded in response, and heated discussions rang out in the study room again. Zhu Biao knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but he also knew that as long as he had the people in his heart and had a policy in his hand, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

At the same time, in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di was also plotting his grand plan.

"Sir, what do you think of our plan?" Zhu Di turned around and looked sharply at a counselor beside him. (End of this chapter)
