Daming: From the end of Hongwu

As soon as they entered, Zhen Wu asked Zhang Wu and the three of them: "Are you almost transferred?"

Zhang Wu shook his head and said: "No, the three of us just ran into each other, thinking that you will not stay in the palace for a long time, so we chatted, waiting for you, and we will pay homage to each other later."

"alright."

Zhen Wu nodded, suddenly thought of something, and told the three of them: "By the way, remember to come here early tomorrow, the old lady has long missed her daughter, and the little nephew, remember to hug me too, tomorrow I will go for a walk around the palace , should be able to escape and come back earlier, and then we will have a good drink."

It is a custom in Beiping that daughters cannot go back to their mother's house on the day of Chinese New Year. Zhen Wu Yibin is nominally a visiting son-in-law, so he is not included in this taboo, and the palace will naturally not entertain sons-in-law like Zhen Wu in the second year of junior high school.

On the contrary, his family wanted to entertain Zhang Wu and his brothers-in-law, the second virtuous, the fourth younger sister, and the fifth younger sister, so he would naturally come back on this day.

Zhang Wu, Tan Zhong, and Wang Tong all nodded.

Speaking of which, Zhang Wu and Tan Zhong both had children, but Wang Tong didn't. He and the third child were a little embarrassed. Although the old man Wuji passed away, everyone didn't say it clearly, but they all planned to have a three-year funeral.

Of course, the mourning period will not be particularly strictly observed, but pregnancy should be avoided.

After they chatted for a while, the third child also came back, and all of them went to Tang's mansion together to pay New Year's greetings to Tang's family, and then they dispersed again to pay their own New Year's greetings.

For those who celebrate the new year, in fact, this is the only thing, New Year greetings, New Year greetings, or New Year greetings.

……

The days that followed were relatively peaceful and leisurely. The second, third, and fourth days of the junior high school passed by day by day, and when the fifteenth day of the new year was over, the year was considered to be over.

No matter whether it is up or down in Beiping City, everyone had a safe and sound New Year.

sixteenth.

Zhu Di couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly summoned Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu and others to discuss in the palace for a whole day, and then the army started to operate again, and the military rations, armaments, ordnance and other materials were mobilized first.

Immediately afterwards, a military order calling for the assembly of soldiers was passed on.

In February, to the surprise of everyone in the world, Zhu Di led his troops to the city of Yuzhou in Shanxi. surrender.

In fact, they don't resist such things as surrender.

Because this is not a national war.

In the final analysis, it was the Zhu family who were turning the tables. When they have nothing to do with themselves, they can hang it high.

So they seem to cooperate very much with Zhu Di's reorganization.

Afterwards, after Zhu Di and others rested in Yuzhou, Zhu Di led the army straight to Datong, making no secret of his strategic intentions.

When the news reached the imperial court, the entire imperial court was greatly shocked. Li Jinglong did not dare to remain indifferent to this, and hurriedly dispatched troops to support Datong, trying to rescue Datong.

Daming, who had been quiet for a period of time, rekindled the flames of war.

……

Chapter 284 - Please offer your head

Datong, Shanxi is an important border defense town in the north, and further north is the boundless grassland. It has always been windy and bitter, and it is better than Beiping. Especially now it is February, and the wind is as cold as a knife, blowing straight at the face.

Even though Zhen Wu grew up in Beiping and has fought with ice skates, snow swords and swords for many years, he still finds it unbearable to think that he was in Peiping some time ago, going out with a mink fur hat, returning home with rich clothes and fine food, and having his beautiful wife in his arms at night.

In this world, the transition from extravagance to frugality is the most test of adaptability.

Zhen Wu sat in the big tent of the right army, and rubbed his face vigorously, so that the blood in his body could flow faster, but the face just rubbed was a little warm, but at this moment, Zhang Wu flung the curtain of the big tent and let the blood flow from the outside. Walking in, along the way, a gust of cold wind from outside howled into the big tent.

Zhen Wu glared at Zhang Wu angrily.

But Zhang Wu still didn't realize it, and rubbed his hands and complained loudly to Zhen Wu: "Datong is really a fucking place for people, it's okay to be cold, and the wind is always blowing, God can't live in peace for a while."

"You fucking have the face to say, you can't move less when you get paid? We've been keeping the heating for a long time, and you blow it clean." Zhen Wu said with even more resentment.

Only then did Zhang Wu come to his senses, and when he turned his head to see, Meng Shan, Zheng Heng, Tan Yuan, Wang Zhen, Chen Heng and the others had already arrived, and quickly apologized to everyone.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry everyone."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu walked to his own seat and sat down, and asked Zhen Wu: "General You, we have been in Datong for two days, can we fight? When will we fight? We have to tell you. You can bear the cold, but it’s not a problem for the soldiers to huddle together every day to keep warm.”

After Zhang Wu's words came out, the rest of the generals also looked over.

After their army arrived at the city of Datong, they have been standing still. Some smart people have realized that coming this time is not as simple as simply beating Datong.

Zhen Wu didn't let everyone guess too much, and said directly: "No fight."

When Zhu Di approached Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu and others to discuss attacking Datong, not all the middle-level generals participated. After the meeting, Zhu Di also gave everyone a gag order.

Therefore, many people still think that they came here this time to fight Datong.

Just like playing Daning back then.

And in the eyes of many people, Datong is more reason to fight for King Yan.

Because Datong was originally the fiefdom of the acting king Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui was abolished by Zhu Yunqi last year as a commoner, and Zhu Gui is not only Zhu Di's thirteenth brother, but also Xu Miaoyun's brother-in-law.

That's right, Zhu Gui married Xu Da's second daughter. From this point of view, Zhu Yunqi took care of Zhu Gui, and now he is going to take care of Zhu Di. Xu Da's son and old subordinates didn't jump out and turn against Zhu Yunqi. It is considered to respect Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is simply unwise to expect the generals of Xu's faction to attack Zhu Di with all their heart.

Furthermore, is it too much for Zhu Yunqi to leave a title for the king and reward a rich and idle life?

You have to go to the end with your own family.

Under such circumstances, no one should murmur, if they accidentally provoke Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunqi would not know how to treat them cruelly.

I'm afraid it's even more embarrassing to talk about.

A soldier who has worked hard and fought all his life in the army, no one can bear to meet someone who is ruthless.

At this time, following Zhen Wu's silence, many people frowned in doubt.

"Do not hit?"

Zhang Wu was even more puzzled and asked: "Why didn't you fight? Although Dai Wang was abolished, I don't believe that no one is willing to avenge Dai Wang's three guards. As long as His Royal Highness speaks out, even Datong City There have been troops guarding the border all year round, and it is a high-rise and important town, but the interior is a little chaotic, and we are attacking from the outside, within half a month, we will definitely be able to take down Datong City."

Xue Lu also continued to say at this time: "Yes, when Datong City is captured, let's collect the soldiers and horses near Datong, and the troops will be stronger. Then it would be better to go south with the whip and directly hit Nanjing City."

The two of them got too many benefits in the Battle of Daning. From controlling more than a thousand soldiers and horses, they expanded to tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. When they committed a collection addiction, all they could think about was how many troops to save. .

This kind of mentality is normal, and Zhen Wu also understands that he often imagines that he has 20 troops in his hands.

But understanding is understanding.

But as a general in command, he couldn't be controlled by this kind of psychology, especially because he lost even the most basic sanity.

You must know that in this world, soldiers are more expensive than good soldiers, never many.

Disagreeing soldiers, even if there are millions of them, are of no use.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhen Wu glared at the two of them angrily, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "You two now hold the lives of more than ten thousand soldiers in your hands, and you think it's thousands of households from before? It's up to you Are you two naive? If more soldiers can determine the outcome, and Li Jinglong has the most soldiers, why don't you give him the city of Peiping."

Seeing Zhen Wu's stern voice, the generals couldn't help but straighten their backs and straighten their expressions even if they were not talking about them. Xue Lu and Zhang Wu were immediately trained, and they stood up obediently and listened to the training with their heads bowed. .

Zhen Wu snorted coldly and said, "You two can't talk in the future. I will punish you to be grooms. I don't believe that you two can't remember the lesson."

The two hurriedly said in a panic: "General You, please calm down, I know my mistakes in my humble position, and I will definitely think more about it in the future."

Zhen Wu looked at the two of them with his eyes, and seeing that the two of them really listened to him, he closed his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, forget it this time, sit down."

As soon as his tone softened, the other generals in the tent also breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of the people present had the same thoughts as Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, and thought that there would be a lot of benefits from playing Datong, but they were not as favored by Zhen Wu as Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, so they didn't dare to say it immediately. Sighed it was dangerous.

This time it was Zhang Wu Xuelu who carried the thunder for them.

Tan Zhong Wang Tong followed Tan Yuan Wang Zhen, saw Zhang Wu and Xue Lu being reprimanded by Zhen Wu, they secretly winked and laughed, which provoked Zhang Wu to give them an angry look.

Zhang Wu, Xue Lu, Tan Yuan, and Wang Zhen are the four independent generals under Zhen Wu, who are most trusted by Zhen Wu. After reprimanding Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, Zhen Wu also intends to train Zhang Wu and Xue Lu. Afterwards, Xue Lu organized his language briefly and explained to the two of them why they did not fight Datong City.

"You two think that Datong can be recruited by His Highness if you have soldiers? Datong is different from Daning. Daning and our Beiping have been inseparable for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers. What is Datong? The most cousins, there are Xuan There is Taiyuan below, so why protect Beiping for us? It’s really reorganized, and you won’t be afraid of chaos in your army.”

After hearing this, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu suddenly realized.

Tan Yuan said at this moment: "Then what is our purpose here?"

Zhen Wu said with a smile: "I called everyone here today, it is for everyone, this time there is only one purpose, and that is to wait for Li Jinglong."

"Waiting for Li Jinglong?"

Tan Yuan was puzzled and said: "In Shanxi, we are not familiar with the landscape, and the soldiers have no intention of protecting their families. It should not be appropriate to fight Li Jinglong here."

"You're right."

Zhen Wu rubbed his hands together and said: "So we are here just to walk Li Jinglong's army, think about it, we are still freezing here, who can resist Li Jinglong's southern army, let Li Jinglong lead the army It's better to make a move than to accumulate strength in Texas."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present basically understood.

Zhen Wu went on to say: "Calculating the time, Li Jinglong's army should have entered Shanxi as well. It's time for us to make arrangements. How can we play with Li Jinglong at that time? Xue Lu, you are in charge of the cavalry army. This time you have to make great efforts." , you take your people to garrison in Yunzhou, echo Qiu Fu..."

Just as he was talking, a loud "report" sound came from outside the tent.

Zhen Wu's expression brightened, knowing that there must be important news, he quickly let the messengers in.

After the messenger came in, he knelt down on one knee and reported: "General You, Your Highness asked you to inform General You that Li Jinglong's vanguard army, led by Governor Pingan, has arrived in Laiyuan and is approaching Weizhou. Your Highness asked the right army to move to the right as soon as possible. , according to plan."

Zhen Wu stood up abruptly, and said excitedly, "Go back and tell His Highness that Zhen Wu already knows that the right army will definitely move tomorrow morning."

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand to make the messenger retreat, and then he quickly came to the map, and while looking at the safe location on the map, he called the generals around and began to arrange the tasks of the generals.

Until the evening, after all the tasks were arranged, let the generals go down to reorganize the army.

……

In the days that followed, the Yan Army and the Southern Army began to be active in the territory of Shanxi. Fang Kuan led the army to block Ping'an in Yuzhou for a few days. After Li Jinglong's army came all over, he abandoned the city and went to Datong.

Ping'an led his army in pursuit, but was blocked by Qiu Fu. The two sides fought for a while, but neither side saw the outcome. At dusk, the two sides retreated and began to confront each other.

When Li Jinglong's army caught up, Pingan led his army out again, and found that Qiu Fu's army had already gone to the building, and Pingan yelled angrily.

After that, Li Jinglong's army marched towards Datong step by step, step by step.

It was extremely difficult to walk along the way.

When they finally reached the city of Datong, Zhu Di and other troops had already fled.

But when Li Jinglong's army wanted to retreat, Zhu Di and other generals would turn out to harass Li Jinglong's army again and again. Dare to pursue rashly.

In this way, it has been a month.

From Weizhou, to Datong, and then to Xuanfu, the troops of both sides in these places are constantly active. Everyone is struggling against the cold north wind and the weather that will suddenly drop at night, but the Yan army can still bear it, but the South Countless soldiers froze to death, and even more had their fingers dropped.

For a while, the morale of the southern army was scattered, and there was even a danger of turmoil.

Just when Li Jinglong didn't intend to get entangled with Zhu Di any more, and he wanted to quit.

In March, Zhu Di's army had gone around Xuanfu and returned to Beiping.

This time, they set off from the southern city of Beiping, entered Shanxi from Weizhou, and then led Li Jinglong's army around in a big circle, and finally returned to Beiping from Juyongguan in the north.

Although there was no battle, all the generals who came back were very happy.

Even Zhu Di was extremely excited.

This time broke Li Jinglong's arrangement of accumulating strength, and consumed Li Jinglong's military strength and morale. After the beginning of spring, his pressure will be much less.

But when everyone was excited about the result of this battle, the imperial court actually sent an envoy to persuade them to surrender.

Persuade?

To put it nicely is called persuading surrender, but to put it bluntly, isn’t it just to negotiate a peace?

After Zhen Wu learned about this, he was completely confused. He remembered that Jing Nan played for four years. Could it be that because of something he did, the butterfly wings flapped and wiped out the time after Jing Nan?

Then how can Zhu Di be the emperor?

What about his prince?

……

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace in Nanjing City, Zhu Yunqi was also asking Huang Zicheng, "Given the time, Gao Wei should have arrived in Beiping."

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "The last time I sent a letter, I arrived in Zhuozhou. I must have entered Beiping City by now."

"That's good. Gao Wei is a virtuous minister. I think he will live up to my entrustment. If he can return safely this time, I will entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he smiled freely.

It was the first time since King Yan started his army that he smiled so freely, like a child's elation after a successful trick.

He thought, Zhu Di couldn't beat Li Jinglong a year ago, and Zhu Di went to Shanxi to make troubles in the next year, and when Li Jinglong's army arrived, he fled back to Beiping in desperation.

This time, he would also take the initiative to make a move, disgusting Zhu Di.
