Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"Yes." Cao Xiaoman retreated contentedly this time. After he left the main hall, his footsteps seemed to be much lighter. At first, they attacked in four directions, and their right guard was responsible for one part alone, but this part was the most difficult. Yet they were the fastest.

In this way, who would dare not look up at the right guard in the future.

Zhu Gaochi watched Cao Xiaoman retreat, a little envious in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh that his big brother-in-law and his subordinates are all brave people.

And just after Cao Xiaoman withdrew, another "report" came into the main hall.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the two gates of the East City have to be taken down. Commander Zhang asked Your Highness for help in several other places. We have recruited more than [-] people, all of whom are loyal to His Highness, and have spare power to help other places. .”

Zhang Yu? !

He also wanted to overwhelm the other generals in this battle of the Nine Gates.

Zhu Di doesn't care about the comparison among his subordinates and generals. Only when there is comparison can he be motivated. He only cares about the result he wants.

He couldn't help but proclaimed that five of the nine gates had already been opened, and the rest was just a matter of time. Only then did he feel that he truly owned Beiping City.

……

Gradually, with the passage of time, all the nine gates of Beiping had been captured before dawn, and the Tuntian soldiers of the guards notified last night were also on their way.

He only needs to integrate the defenders in the city before he can attack and eat away.

Standing in the main hall, Zhu Di looked towards the direction of Nanjing City. He thought to himself, now that he has turned against him, he has not only captured Beiping City, but will soon accumulate a lot of troops. What kind of expression is Wang Hui, what kind of expression is Zhu Yunqi, and what kind of expression is the army and civilians in this world.

You must be surprised, and it must be interesting to think about it.

Zhu Di is looking forward to a duel with the person with the highest status in the world in the eyes of everyone in the world.

Let the people of the world take a look, who should sit on the throne.

……

Chapter 250 - Pledging Master to Calm Difficulty and Attacking Quartet

The light of dawn suddenly appeared, and it shone on the front door building, and it also shone on Zhen Wu's body.

After Zhen Wu listened to Cao Xiaoman's report on the situation in the city, he turned over and got up from the ground.

He walked to the gate tower, stood quietly and looked at the sky, watching the light piercing the night, slowly devouring the darkness to nourish himself, and suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to what they were doing.

Soon.

Zhang Wu also came over.

Zhen Wu glanced sideways at Zhang Wu and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Zhang Wu grinned and nodded, but the smile was a bit cruel: "It's clean, Ni Liang's family has not been left alive, I finally got rid of this bad breath."

Zhen Wu nodded. Last night, he asked Zhang Wu to take 50 people to Ni Liang's house to silence them. The hatred between the two of them could not be resolved. Even if he didn't want to do some things, he still had to do them for the safety of his family.

For a person like him who pays attention to his family, his fate is too obvious. He can only try his best to deal with it directly after making a deadly enemy.

"By the way, don't tell Er Xian about these things. She doesn't look like a northern girl at all, and she doesn't know what bad manners she learned from my mother. She is not as straightforward as Xiao Liu. If she knows, she may be able to tell. How can you embarrass yourself, maybe just blindly take responsibility on yourself, and think blindly because she will only increase the murder, huh, what a shitty brain."

Zhen Wu's tone was very bad.

Zhang Wu was a little displeased when he heard that. If someone said that about his wife, he would be anxious, but when Zhen Wu said his sister, he seemed to have no reason to refute, so he nodded honestly and said: "I know, she is still big now. , These things will definitely not be told to her."

Zhen Wu glanced sideways at Zhang Wu, snorted and mocked, "You know? When did the Erxian give you a glance before, and you just talked about everything? Just talk about the last time I came back from Yingtian Mansion , can you tell your family about things like messing with Lan Yu?"

Zhang Wu blushed, and wanted to argue, but he couldn't find the confidence to argue.

Zhen Wu said angrily: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk about you. If you can't let Erxian know in the future, don't tell her, just tell me what I said, and let her ask me if you want to know."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu looked at the sky and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I will leave this place to you to guard, and I will go to the palace."

"Yes." Zhang Wu took the order.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu took Cao Xiaoman and the others down the tower and headed towards the palace. It was just dawn and there was no one on the street, but not many people really fell asleep tonight.

Zhen Wu didn't care about these things. When he arrived at Yan Wang's mansion, he found that many outsiders had come to Yan Wang's mansion. Zhen Wu found a circle and saw that Zhu Gaochi was still free, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Where is Your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled, as if he was as gentle as ever, he pointed to the main hall, and said kindly in Zhen Wu's ear: "Father is busy making friends with them in the hall, trying to get close, I'm afraid those people were scared last night .”

Zhen Wu immediately understood that now that the King of Yan has occupied Beiping City, some officials in the city must stand in line, otherwise they would be the first ones to be purged. It is to be made into a monolith.

"The action is fast enough." Zhen Wu muttered, but he also understood that the news must not be hidden from the dismissal of so many soldiers last night, Zhen Wu suddenly became interested, and asked curiously: "Who are they?" ?”

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the main hall, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "The chief secretary is counseling Guo Zi, the deputy envoy of the procuratorate is Mo Lin, the commander of the capital is Li Jun, Chen Gong, and some commanders of the guards." After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi was still smiling. Yingying raised his eyebrows at Zhen Wu, expressing how excited he was when these people came.

Zhen Wu was a little speechless when he heard that.

Good guy.

The three divisions of Peking are here.

Zhu Di's influence is really terrifying. If these people insist on going against Zhu Di like iron heads, it will be really troublesome for them to integrate Beiping City.

But now, apart from occupying the nine gates, they also occupy the Ordnance Department and several large granaries. Although these places are also the most important places, Guo Zi and the others came to visit Zhu Di overnight, which shows their sense of Zhu Di. Among them, I have to say that Zhu Di's 20 years in Peiping were not in vain.

His own one-acre three-point land, the imperial court's orders, except for those who came from the imperial court, really didn't work well for other people.

There was also a smile on Zhen Wu's face. All in all, this was good news. With the cooperation of these people, the integration speed of Beiping City would be greatly improved, and what they lack now is time.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked Zhen Wu: "Where is the second brother? Why didn't the second brother come back with you."

Zhen Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "You still don't know him? After the war in our southern city was settled, he went to other places excitedly. I guess he doesn't know who he is bragging with now."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, with a little envy in his eyes, but also with some inexplicable meaning, he suddenly returned to God and said: "By the way, brother-in-law, I just learned from Master Daoyan today that my nephew also wants to worship Master Daoyan." As a teacher?"

"That's the case, what's the matter?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed brightly and said: "This is a good thing. I was worried that Zhanji would be bored by himself, so the two brothers can be companions, and they just happen to be so close."

Ok?

Zhen Wu frowned indistinctly: "Zhan Ji also wants to worship Dao Yan as his teacher?"

"That's right, brother-in-law, haven't you heard about Master Daoyan?"

Zhen Wu shook his head, he really didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't have agreed to Dao Yan that day, and at the same time he couldn't help wondering whether it was Dao Yan's attention or Zhu Gaochi's attention.

These people have eight hundred minds.

They all belong to the kind of masters who have dates and whether they can hit a few shots. His son and Zhu Zhanji are mixed together.

What the hell is this.

It's okay if it's an accident, but if it's calculated by someone, then it's too damn bad.

But Zhen Wu wanted to think about it, but his face remained calm, and he smiled instead: "Then this is a good thing, the two brothers learn skills from the monk, not boring or talking, and can support each other."

After hearing Zhen Wu's words, Zhu Gaochi nodded happily, and then asked in a blink of an eye, "By the way, is the little nephew going to have a name?"

"No, I've been busy recently, so I didn't have time. I just listened to your sister and decided on a nickname of March. You said it was called March, but it sounded a bit girlish. I don't know what your sister is thinking."

Zhu Gaochi laughed. He knew that Zhen Wu was not really complaining about Zhu Yuying, but just complaining casually. After all, no one in Beiping knows that the two of them are singing in harmony, which is a typical good thing achieved by mutual affection.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and then went away to get busy. Zhen Wu also began to cooperate, and went to the barracks with other generals to rectify and select the seven guards and horses to reorganize the army.

……

Three days later.

In just three days, Zhen Wu and others had firmly controlled Beiping. The 3 soldiers and horses of the capital, after joining thousands of guards and garrison troops, were screened and reorganized, and only 3 people remained. The people in the guard army were placed among the [-] people as middle and high-level generals to ensure that the entire army obeyed the command.

And all the soldiers and civilians in Beiping City also learned of the recent events in the notice to the soldiers and civilians posted in the whole city by Yan Wangfu.

There are treacherous officials in the imperial court who bewitched the emperor and harmed the emperor's relatives. The head of the current kings, King Yan, according to the Taizu Emperor's "Ancestral Instructions", said that the prince ruled the army and commanded him, intending to eradicate evil and restore the court. Feng Tianjing is difficult.

After all the soldiers and civilians in Beiping understood it, most of them gave an oh, expressing their support, and each of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder that several princes were killed by the emperor. It turned out that there were traitors.

Then we can't sit idly by.

Even many soldiers and civilians in Beiping said proudly, "Although our Beiping is far away from the capital, we can't pretend that our Beiping doesn't exist. It's impossible to mess around. You must know that our Beiping has King Yan, so we won't spare those people." traitor. '

Ordinary soldiers and civilians are so cute sometimes, if you give them a just reason, they will never turn back.

And this war, which was said to be Jingnan, but was actually a rebellion, also kicked off at this time.

Once this war starts, only one of Zhu Di and Zhu Yunqi will remain. No matter what Zhu Di's real thoughts are, the essence of rebellion is firmly fixed at this moment and cannot be changed.

During these three days, Zhen Wu also went home twice, and the family members also saw the letter of informing the army and the people, but Zhu Yuying was born in the palace, and she knew the nature of the struggle for imperial power, so she immediately guessed that her father and the man were together. the way of rebellion.

When Zhen Wu saw this, he didn't hide it from Zhu Yuying, but when he told Zhu Yuying, he wanted to comfort Zhu Yuying, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuying was very strong, and maybe he also had some Zhu Di's perseverance in his bones.

Zhu Yuying immediately took over everything in the family without saying anything, and told Zhen Wu not to worry about the family, and took the initiative to share Zhen Wu's worries about the family, so that Zhen Wu could devote himself to the business.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Wu sighed again and again, this is a good wife, not only won't make trouble for no reason, but also knows how to help her husband at critical moments.

On the other hand, after Zhang Yuqing heard about this, she went out of her way to ask Zhen Wu to give her a good advice, but the advice was a little funny, she asked Zhen Wu to help King Yan fight well, and said that King Yan's nephew and we were also a family, and he was arrested People have deceived us, we can't sit idly by, we have to do our best, otherwise we will be sorry for King Yan's care for our family.

What Zhang Yuqing said was very righteous and naive.

In other words, sometimes justice equals innocence.

Zhen Wu smiled and said yes, and patted his chest to promise that for the sake of the emperor, he would definitely beat them with all his strength.

As he was talking, Zhen Wu couldn't help but want to laugh even more, and finally couldn't hold back any more, he quickly talked to Zhang Yuqing, and went out to the Yan Palace.

Zhang Yuqing was very dissatisfied with Zhen Wu's attitude, and chattered with Zhu Yuying, saying that Zhen Wu didn't take this seriously, and asked Zhu Yuying to talk about Zhen Wu later, don't feel embarrassed, her natal family's business is ours About the Zhen family.

Zhu Yuying also found it funny, but Zhu Yuying wouldn't explain it to Zhang Yuqing in detail, she just coaxed Zhang Yuqing carefully.

And after Zhen Wu got away from the family affairs, he began to prepare for the next battle with all his heart.

On the third day after the Battle of the Nine Gates, after the integration of soldiers and horses was completed, a group of generals discussed their next actions in Yanwang Mansion. They gathered around a huge map of the capital of Beiping, each offering their opinions.

After Dao Yan summed up everyone's opinions, he proposed a general strategy.

"Now we must occupy the four positions as soon as possible, or any one of them may threaten our Beiping City." After speaking, Dao Yan walked to the map, clicked on the map, and said the name of the place.

"The first one is Juyongguan, which is the throat of Beiping. After he fled from Xizhimen, he was stationed in Juyongguan. Song Zhong of Kaiping brought more than 3 soldiers and horses to take advantage of our unstable foothold to take back Beiping, but heard that After we have firmly controlled it, we will retreat to Huailai. Once a large number of soldiers and horses from the imperial court attack, Song Zhong can go straight to Juyongguan and come to our city of Beiping. Therefore, Juyongguan must be in our hands, and Song Zhong must be defeated. No worries."

"The second one is still in the north, Gubeikou of Miyun, where Daning is connected to the east. If you take this place, you can prevent Daning from advancing, and you can also connect with Juyong Pass. Only with these two passes in hand can the north dare to say There is no longer any worry of military disturbance, and these two passes are steep, so it is advisable to take them urgently, otherwise they will be defended by additional troops, and it will be difficult to conquer them."

"The third is not one, but a route, from Beiping to the east, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Yongping, let's talk about Jizhou first. According to reports, Ma Xuan called his troops to garrison in Jizhou after the defeat of Chongwenmen. , this person looked down upon us in Beiping and had to be killed, and to take Jizhou, he had to go east two ways, all the way from Zunhua to Songting Pass, and all the way from Yongping to Shanhaiguan. The north of Songting Pass is Daning, once Daning When approaching Beiping, Songting Pass must be the first route of march. As for Shanhaiguan Pass, there is no need to say much about it. Liaodong is connected to the north, and soldiers from Liaodong must pass Shanhaiguan Pass when they enter Beiping. What's more, Geng Xuan is in Shanhaiguan Pass, so how important are these two places? Don't stress it."

"The fourth can be delayed, but it needs to be taken as soon as possible to prevent the imperial army from advancing. That is Zhuozhou and Xiongcheng. With these two cities in hand, we will have enough time to maneuver and buffer strategically."

After finishing speaking, Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di and said, "After the imperial court got the news, they can mobilize the army to Zhending within [-] days, so we need to take all these places within [-] days, so we need to divide our troops to attack, and We only have [-] soldiers now, and we still need to keep [-] to defend Beiping, how to distribute the remaining [-] soldiers, and where to attack them, His Highness still needs to decide."

Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

All the generals also frowned, 5000 troops were divided into four places, with an average of more than [-] along the way.

More than 5000, playing chicken feathers.

Not to mention anything else, how did five thousand attack Juyongguan, how did they attack Songzhong's 3 people, and how did they fight all the way from Tongzhou to Zunhua and Yongping.

Zhang Yu said in embarrassment: "Master, among the soldiers and horses defending the city, can we squeeze out some more? There are indeed fewer soldiers and horses."

Dao Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "At most we can squeeze out 2000 people."

two thousand? !

Well, talk is better than nothing.

Zhu Di is a veteran in the army, so he immediately figured out that this is not going to work. He shook his head and said: "This soldier cannot be divided evenly. On the line between Juyongguan and Jizhou, more than 5000 people will definitely not be able to fight. It takes at least 1 people to fight Song Zhong. It takes at least 8000 people to enter Jizhou."

These two routes cost [-], so there are only [-] left.

Six thousand is divided into two routes, what else is there to play?

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Zhen Wu frowned and stood up: "Well, give me 2000 people, and I will fight Gubeikou in Miyun, but I only need cavalry."

Zhu Di said with joy on his face, "Two thousand? Are you sure?"

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Two thousand cavalry can pretend to be eight thousand cavalry, and the commander of Miyunwei has a good relationship with me, and he used to respect His Highness, so maybe he can directly recruit and surrender without fighting. In addition, I want another cavalry The reason is that as long as I take Miyun quickly, I can go from Miyun Rao Yongning directly to the outside of Juyong Pass. In this way, under the joint attack of the soldiers and horses inside and outside the pass, I will not be able to defend Juyong Pass. At that time, we will be able to directly destroy Song Dynasty Loyalty, this way we can ensure the stability of the north first."

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, which was a good idea.

Zhu Di knew the terrain around Beiping like the palm of his hand. According to his thinking, attacking Miyun with 2000 people was a bit unlikely, but if Zhen Wu led 2000 people to attack Miyun, it might really be possible.

At least if Zhen Wu leads two thousand cavalry, there are not tens of thousands of cavalry, and no one can stop Zhen Wu.

This is the benefit of being brave.

With few soldiers and strong generals, this can make up for the lack of troops. Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly turned his attention to Zhu Neng. Zhen Wu gave him a reminder that if he can fight, he will increase his burden.

When Zhu Neng saw Zhu Di coming over, he immediately understood in his heart: "Your Highness, I would like to lead 4000 people all the way south to take Xiongcheng."

"it is good."

This time, Zhu Di ordered: "Zhang Yu, you have always been prudent and resourceful. I will give you 1 people, and you will take down Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, and Yongping."
