Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

There is actually not much suspense about how the war will develop next.

In November, Zhu Di returned from Daning with Prince Ning and divided his troops to encircle the Southern Army.

The soldiers under Li Jinglong rushed to cross the river and escape. The ice in the river suddenly melted, and countless Southern soldiers fell into the river. The Southern Army was defeated and fled to Zhengcunba.

In December, the Yan army defeated seven camps of the Southern Army at Zhengcunba, and Li Jinglong was defeated and returned.

The time entered the second year of Jianwen.

In the first month of the year, the Yan army captured Weizhou, Yanmen Pass, Datong, Tiancheng, Yanghe, Yunzhou, and Daizhou.

In February, the Yan army approached Datong. Li Jinglong led his army to rescue, and Zhu Yunwen gave him an axe, a bow and arrows, and let Li Jinglong take charge of the expedition. When Li Jinglong was crossing the river, there was a heavy storm, and the boats were destroyed, and all the things given by the emperor were lost.

When Zhu Yunwen bestowed the title again, Li Jinglong was indeed appointed as the military supervisor.

In April, Li Jinglong marched into Hejian and agreed to meet at Baigou River with Guo Ying, Wu Jie, Ping An, Xu Huizu and others.

During the Battle of Baigou River, the Yan army was assisted by a strong wind at a critical moment, and Li Jinglong's flag was broken. The Yan army took advantage of the wind to set fire and launched a counterattack. Guo Ying was defeated and fled westward, and Li Jinglong fled south and was defeated in Dezhou.

Also in April, the Yan army invaded Dezhou, and Li Jinglong was defeated and fled to Jinan. He was stripped of his position and recalled to the capital by Zhu Yunwen. Later, Zhu Yunwen ignored the opposition and left Li Jinglong to guard the capital.

In May, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan replaced Li Jinglong in garrisoning Jinan City. Zhu Di failed to capture the city after a long siege and returned to Beiping for rest.

"Oh, a lot of people died!"

Xu let out a long sigh.

"He won't admit he was wrong, and neither can I."

Zhu Di patted Xu's hand and said something to comfort her.

In February, he wrote a letter to Zhu Yunwen, telling him the reality that Zhu Yunwen had been deceived by this group of civil servants.

Although he also wanted to sit in that position, but if his own family members fought against each other, wouldn't he also fall into the other party's calculations?

If you can't help it, don't fight.

As long as Zhu Yunwen did not hand over the Zhu family to others and killed those so-called regents, he could really withdraw his troops immediately.

But this letter was like a stone thrown into the sea, it also had the opposite effect. . .

Li Jinglong had an additional military supervisor. Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, who was on good terms with him, was stripped of his title and exiled. The son-in-law of Li Jinglong, Wang Ning, was imprisoned. Zhu Di's relative, Li Shen, the commander-in-chief, was beheaded in public.

What followed was the Battle of Baigou River in April.

Zhu Yunwen was probably so angry and humiliated that he fired almost everyone he could from the court.

A total of 630,000 troops.

It was divided into three routes, the main forces were Li Jinglong's and Guo Ying's.

The third group consisted of 30,000 people led by Xu Huizu, who was in the rear.

The 300,000 troops of Li Jinglong were all Zhu Yunwen's direct subordinates transferred from other provinces, and the military supervisor was Chen Xingshan, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The first wave of fighting was led by Li Jinglong. After Li Jinglong was sidelined, the military supervisor was in charge of the war, and the casualties of soldiers were inevitable.

The army on Guo Ying's side was led by Guo Ying himself. When Zhu Di was in danger at the last moment, old man Guo cooperated with Xu Huizu who was guarding the rear and completely wiped out Zhu Yunwen's direct army.

In the end, Li Jinglong's vanguard army suffered 200,000 casualties and 100,000 surrendered, and the entire army was wiped out.

Only Li Jinglong was left riding alone to escape from Dezhou.

As soon as Li Jinglong was defeated, Zhu Yunwen immediately ordered the Minister of War Qi Tai to transfer another 100,000 soldiers from Liaodong to Jinan.

Liaodong did not openly disobey the order when it received it.

It was just a response to the court's new policy of abolishing the garrisons, which had not been responded to before.

All garrisons were to be disbanded on the spot.

All the soldiers had returned home, so naturally there was not a single soldier who could be transferred to Jinan.

At this point, even though Zhu Yunwen understood that few people in the military were on his side, he was still in a difficult situation.

We can only continue fighting like this.

"You said that his mother came from an unjust background, so how can he be capable?"

Xu wanted to give Zhu Di an unprecedented eye roll.

This letter was written in the army, and she had never read it. She only knew about it after Zhu Di came back and repeated it to her.

This man, sometimes, you don’t know whether to praise him for his honesty or scold him for being stupid.

Didn’t Zhang Yu and his people say they would persuade him, but they actually let him write a letter like this!!!

A group of warriors!!!

"Now it's Ping An and Sheng Yong. These two are Zhu Yunwen's die-hard supporters."

Whether it was to avoid suspicion or to be lazy, Prince Ning did not follow Prince Yan to fight.

After giving all his soldiers to Prince of Yan, he settled down in Peking.

When he had nothing to do, he would take Princess Ning shopping, and discuss the war situation with Monk Daoyan and Zhu Gaochi.

"The Shandong governor Tie Xuan is also quite capable."

Zhu Gaochi added.

"Humph, you can't fight a proper war, but you still resort to those crooked ways."

Zhu Di snorted coldly.

Tie Xuan first used the empty city plan to lure him into the city. Fortunately, he was lucky and when the thousand-pound gate at the city gate fell, only his horse was killed.

He originally didn't want to touch the city wall, but he had to take out his artillery and prepare to force a siege.

My goodness, he had just set up the artillery and Tie Xuan hung his father’s spirit tablet on the wall.

How can we fight this!

Civil servants, they are just hooligans!!!

"That's because he has a smart mind!"

Xu was not happy.

Zhu Di was indeed blessed with great fortune, and he seemed to be helped by God many times, but this man was also obviously becoming arrogant.

"Hmph! Bullshit! If I didn't value things, I would have smashed the city wall into a sieve long ago!"

Zhu Di was not convinced.

Attacking a city is much more difficult than defending it.

The reason he couldn't take the city wasn't because he wasn't smart enough, but because he was a little reluctant to sacrifice his own city wall.

He didn't want the empire built by his father to be controlled by others, but it was not a good idea to destroy his father's empire.

Won't you be the one to clean up the mess in the future?

There is no comparison between spending money to build a city wall and going out to fight a war.

"Can't we just go around and fight? Do we have to go into the city?"

Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were about to have a quarrel, Zhang Xin made a weak suggestion.

The times are different now. We have strong soldiers and horses. Why should we fight to the death for the city of Jinan?

"Niece-in-law, so smart!!!"

As soon as Zhang Xin said this, King Ning immediately clapped his hands and cheered! !

He likes his niece-in-law so much.

Without making any noise, he struck the decisive blow as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You also think we should go around and fight?"

Zhu Di did not deny Zhang Xin, but felt that this idea was a bit out of the framework of fighting. . .

"Brother!!! Is this an illness you got from fighting with dad?

We have already taken over the granary of Texas, so why do we need Texas City? Do we need to keep someone to watch over it? What a waste!

What's there in Jinan? The most we can do is take the food and some soldiers and leave. Why fight him?

From Jinan to the capital, there are so many prefectures. How can we attack them one by one?

Keep them one by one?

At least 5,000 people should be left in each city. Brother, can you calculate how many people have left?

Let’s just go around the city and scare those bastards to death!

If there are those who are brave enough, it won’t be too late for them to go out of the city to intercept and fight!

The question is, are there any brave ones? Whoever becomes emperor will have to use them? They don’t have to risk their lives for Zhu Yunwen.”

Prince Ning spoke like a string of cannonballs.

He has been thinking about this matter for a long time.

Just then, Zhang Xin's scented tea was delivered to the palace.

He took advantage of the situation and arrived at Prince Yan's Palace early.

I didn't intend to do anything originally, I just made preparations in advance. It goes without saying that the treatment of my father being the emperor and my nephew being the emperor cannot be the same.

People like them who command large numbers of troops may be thorns in the eyes of others.

If you don't plan ahead, you won't even know how you died.

The situation had now developed to a point far beyond the worst possible outcome he had originally imagined.

These civil servants have really big appetites.

As for his fourth brother, he was quite domineering and good at fighting, but he was a little cunning.

Military generals who are used to fighting have inertia. They usually attack one city at a time, scraping their way forward like scraping the ground.

He used the food and grass in the city to feed his army, extorted money from the city to pay the soldiers, and recruited able-bodied men from the city.

But this is what poor people do.

This is how their father conquered the world.
