81: Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded: Can we play it this way? The hell scene reappeared!

After Zhu Gaoxun’s order, all the hundreds of soldiers belonging to Guangning Gate were beheaded.

Then, the news that His Majesty was going to lead the army in person spread quickly in the city, and the whole Shuntian Prefecture was in an uproar.

From officials to scholars, from scholars to peddlers on the street, no one understood what the emperor wanted to do.

For a time, the people in Shuntian Prefecture were in a panic, like ants on a pot, and they were very tormented.

After the court said that His Majesty was going to lead the army in person, they understood that the war was really coming!

Those with channels and those without channels were all thinking about how to escape from Shuntian Prefecture…….Suddenly, some people hiding in Shuntian Prefecture also heard the news and began to spread rumors.

Forbidden City, Huagai Hall.

Zhu Gaoxun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Youjian and others gathered together, and their generals, Xu Da and others were here.

“Gao Xun, how are you going to fight this war?”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di calmly, and then said to Zhu Gao Xun:”I think we still need���The Tatars were good at cavalry. In terms of artillery, they were no less powerful than the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period.”

“It would be a mistake for us to leave the city and fight with them…….We should understand their specific strength and troop deployment before making preparations for the war.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said this very tactfully, which actually meant that he was not optimistic about Zhu Gaoxun’s plan to fight outside the city.

After all, the Tartars were coming in full force, and only by knowing ourselves and the enemy could we make better decisions…….Soldiers are dangerous tools.

If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very conflicted. According to what he thought in his heart, he must have believed Zhu Gaoxun, but Zhu Gaoxun’s statements and actions before their arrival made him wonder if Zhu Gaoxun was inflated.

Even if their three dynasties combined had a total of 150,000 troops, the Tartars also had a lot of troops.

The most important thing is that the two sides did not have a big gap in firearms.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang particularly worried…….Zhu Gaoxun’s Fengming is indeed powerful, but the problem is that the human and wild boar skins are not bad either.

“Grandpa Emperor, please do not worry.”

Zhu Gaoxun naturally saw Zhu Yuanzhang’s concerns. In fact, the problem was easy to solve. He could naturally convince Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di by bringing out the story of Dragon Roaring and Tiger Fearing.

But the problem was that the commotion caused might arouse the vigilance of Wild Boar Skin. For a little bit of confidence, Wild Boar Skin might escape back to the outside of the Great Wall. This was not a cost-effective deal.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were very worried, Zhu Gaoxun simply went with the flow and said,”In that case, how about my 50,000 men go out of the city to fight?”

“That’s good.”

Seeing that he had a chance to take action, Zhu Di immediately agreed and said,”Gao Yi, where are your troops? Why didn’t I see them?”

“Outside the city.” Zhu Gaoxun nodded, looking at the outside of the city with a dim gaze and said:”When they came, I placed them outside the city. Since Wild Boar Skin dares to come, let them have nothing to lose!”

“That’s good!” Zhu Yuanzhang was also very decisive. Since Zhu Gaoxun had made up his mind, he could only support him.”Let Gaoxun test the strength of the wild boar skin outside the city, and we two dynasties will support each other inside the city.”

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and continued,”It’s just that Gaoxun, you have to be careful. If there is anything wrong, send a signal immediately, and we will support you immediately!”

“Grandpa Emperor, rest assured.” Zhu Gaoxun grinned and said,”Don’t forget, I still have 100,000 jailers in the underworld! Those jailers are not just for show!”

In order to give Zhu Yuanzhang and others some confidence, Zhu Gaoxun revealed his hidden trump card.

“Can these 100,000 jailers be mobilized! ?”

Recalling the scene he had seen in the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited.

If those jailers could be mobilized, then there would be no problem!

Zhu Gaoxun shook his head and said,”It’s not clear yet.”

After arriving in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxun tried to use his magical powers to summon Zhang Fu and his jailer, and it worked.

But Zhu Gaoxun could not guarantee whether he could kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Therefore, he would not say too much here.

After hearing Zhu Gaoxun’s explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, with Zhu Gaoxun’s ability, no matter what, he still has the ability to protect himself.

On the side, Zhu Di’s eyes kept wandering around Zhu Gaoxun and Zhu Yuanzhang, and he felt puzzled and sour in his heart.

When did my son have a little secret-what kind of jailer in the underworld!? How come I don’t know?

But at this time, no one cared about Zhu Di’s little thoughts.

Then, the three of them discussed the subsequent battle plan.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Youjian found an opportunity to interrupt,”Taizu, Chengzu, Tianchengzu, the grandchildren have something to report~.”

Zhu Di didn’t waste any words and said immediately:”Speak”

“Ever since Tiancheng’s grandfather told his grandchildren to lead the army in person, the people of the capital have been in a state of panic.”

“Earlier today, rumors spread among the people that the emperor was planning to abandon the city and flee.”

“Many people believed this statement…….After the Guangning Gate guard was beheaded, this statement even escalated.”

“The emperor was said to be cruel and the court was too cruel to officials. Sooner or later, the court would……”

“Sooner or later what?” Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said,”Go on, let’s see what these corrupt scholars can come up with.”

“If you say your ruler is not a human being, your country will surely perish! When facing a powerful enemy, instead of thinking about how to resist the enemy, you attack your own people…….”

“They are nothing but our own people!”

Before Zhu Youjian could finish, Zhu Di laughed coldly and said,”Are the guards at Guangning Gate worthy of being human beings? If the enemy comes, they will open the gate and escape.”

“And those gentry, every one of them, are they not sucking blood from the common people! ?”

The first half of Zhu Di’s words was fine, but the second half made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy.

This guy had something to say. Isn’t the royal family system we established also a vampire of the people of the Ming Dynasty?

But Zhu Yuanzhang was in the wrong, and no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn’t refute it.

Making a note of Zhu Di in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youjian and said,”Have all the princes and royal family members of the Chongzhen Dynasty been summoned?”

“”No.” Zhu Zhan’an said,”The administrative efficiency of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period was too slow. The order to summon the princes and royal family members from all over the world may have just been issued at this time.”

“Yesterday, Wu Sangui openly rebelled, and the Jiannu Tartars attacked. The court issued another order, asking these princes and royal family members to gather in Yingtianfu.”

“If the Tartars are not dealt with in time, these princes and royal family members may become a hidden danger!”As soon as Zhu Zhan’an finished speaking, the faces of everyone present turned ugly.

The problem of royal family members is indeed difficult to get rid of. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are actually both responsible, so their faces are naturally ugly at this time.

Just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming solemn, Zhu Gaoxun said:”In other words, these princes and royal family members will arrive in Yingtian Prefecture within a month?”

“That’s right”

“Easy! I have the jailers of the underworld here, and I can deal with them at any time.”

Zhu Gaoxun stood up and said slowly:”The most important issue at the moment is to deal with the Tartars first, and then deal with these gentry.”

At this point, Zhu Gaoxun’s eyes fell on Zhu Zhan’an,”Bai’er, are you ready?”

Facing his father’s question, Zhu Zhan’an nodded and said,”I’m ready.”

“That’s good.” Zhu Gaoxun sneered and said,”After dealing with the Tartars, we can eliminate the internal troubles.”

The conversation between Zhu Gaoxun and Zhu Zhan’an seemed to be a riddle, but Zhu Gaoxun did not say what the specific matter was, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others did not ask.

Because they knew that what the father and son discussed must be about Zhu Zhan’an’s subsequent rule in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

When the time comes for them to know, the father and son will naturally tell them.

In this way, another five days passed.

The people in Shuntian Prefecture were in panic, but the court did not make much movement, which made the already uneasy people even more uneasy.

In order to comply with Zhu Gaoxun’s plan, the troops brought by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di did not appear in Shuntian Prefecture with fanfare, but quietly replaced the guards at each city gate.

Therefore, whether it was the common people or the scholars, they all closed their doors and could only pray that the Tartars would not kill and abuse too much after breaking the city.

The streets and alleys are no longer as prosperous as they used to be…….Only the neighbors gathered together to discuss the recent situation.

“Have you heard? Yesterday, the main force of the Tartars arrived a hundred miles outside the capital and began to set up camp!”

“How do you know? Now all the city gates and walls are full of soldiers, and the common people can’t see them!” (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“My nephew Zhao Heisan used to be a guard on the city wall. I don’t know why the imperial court withdrew him recently! He said that before he withdrew, the outside of the city was already full of Tartar troops!”

“What should we do? If the emperor comes again, can he resist the Tartars like he did with the rebels?”

“I don’t think it’s possible! I heard that the Tartars also have artillery! There are tens of thousands of them. If they are deployed, how can Shuntianfu defend itself?”

“Nonsense! Everyone knows that a cannon shot is worth a fortune! How can the Tartars be richer than the imperial court?”

“Believe it or not, people on the street were saying this the other day, and I’m not the first one to say this.”[]

“……”

The news about the Tartars and the actions of the imperial court spread all over the capital under the propaganda of those who had ulterior motives.

“Gao Xun, the people in the city are unstable.”

On the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the streets with few pedestrians and frowned,”Is it inappropriate for us to do this?”

This was not the first time Zhu Yuanzhang questioned Zhu Gao Xun, and Zhu Di frowned even more. According to what he said, he should show his means to stabilize the people’s hearts.

“Grandfather Emperor, Father.” Zhu Gaoxun said slowly:”If we follow the usual combat methods, people’s hearts are certainly important. But our combat plan is not an ordinary method.”

“Don’t worry, we will start tonight. The people in the city will not be able to hold back. Then the emperor and father will catch them all. This is related to���The pace of the future.”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxun still said so, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at each other quietly, and they sighed in their hearts.

This Zhu Gaoxun……They are so arrogant that they don’t take the enemy seriously. This is a taboo for military strategists!

Fortunately, they have made arrangements in advance, so there will be no big problems at that time.

At the same time, outside the capital city.

In the wild boar skin tent, the regent Dorgon sat on the commander’s chair and said with a smile:”Everyone, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. Do you have any strategy?”

After the voice fell, no one in the account spoke.

Because Dorgon at this time is not only in a high position, but also in terms of marching and fighting, he does not tolerate others’ doubts.

If someone makes a big suggestion after he opens his mouth, that would be courting death.

Of course, they have to wait for Dorgon to start first, and then they will follow suit!

But there is one person who is different, that is Fan Wencheng.

He seemed not to see the weird atmosphere in the account, and immediately stood up and said:”My king! How to break the capital, I believe the king has already made a plan, which is not something that slaves and others can talk about.”

As soon as this came out, Dorgon laughed loudly,”The one who knows me is Xiandou!”

Fan Wencheng, whose name is Xiandou.

When everyone in the account saw this scene, they cursed in their hearts.

This bastard Han Chinese is always good at pleasing others!

“.but……I have a plan that can help the king conquer the country!”

“”Oh!?”

Hearing this, Dorgon immediately side-glanced,”Xiandou, please speak.”

Then, Dorgon shouted outside the tent,”Why don’t you give me a seat? What should I do if my Grand Secretary is tired!”

When the soldiers brought a chair, Fan Wencheng thanked him and sat down.

This scene made many Manchus dissatisfied again. Our distinguished Manchu didn’t sit down, but this Han Chinese sat down?

But they had to admit that Fan Wencheng was really capable, so they could only hold their noses and bear it, looking at Fan Wencheng sideways.

“Your Majesty.” Fan Wencheng said slowly:”If Wu Sangui surrenders to our dynasty, the Ming emperor will be in a panic! If you want to conquer the world, you must strictly prohibit the soldiers from harming the people and not harassing the people…….”

Fan Wencheng said a lot of things in one breath, all about what to do after the army took the capital.

But no one refuted.

Obviously, everyone in the camp believed that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was already in their pockets.

“This is a great strategy! It’s a strategy for stabilizing the country!”

Dorgon thought for a while, and then said:”After we take the capital, we will do as Xiandou said!”

Then, Dorgon looked at Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Ying Ajige and other princes and generals of the Eight Banners, and said slowly:”No matter what grudges there are between the Eight Banners, let them be put aside when this war comes!”

“If Wu Sangui surrenders to our army, then let him be the vanguard and lead the charge! So as to avoid too much loss of our Eight Banners men!”

This statement quickly attracted the approval of the generals in the account. Our Eight Banners men are all elites, how can we lose too much in attacking the capital?

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng immediately retorted:”Your Majesty, you can’t do that! Pingxi King Wu Sangui has made great contributions in offering Shanhaiguan, and we should pay attention to it.”

“Having such a person as a role model will be of great benefit to establishing your kingdom in the future. Only in this way can you quickly occupy the world!”

“……”

Fan Wencheng said this, in fact, he also meant to consider his future in the court.

Dorgon naturally understood, but thought that Fan Wencheng’s words made sense, so he no longer insisted on letting Wu Sangui lead the siege.

If Wu Sangui was not allowed to lead the siege, then the Eight Banners would have to lead the siege…….This time, the elite troops of the Manqing Army were all out, with 100,000 men from the Eight Banners.

The Han Eight Banners had 100,000 men. Compared with letting the (Wang De) Eight Banners go to die, the leaders of each banner were naturally happy to let the Han Eight Banners go to attack the city.

But considering that the whole world was filled with Han people, Dorgon could not be too obvious about this matter.

Therefore, a long discussion was held in the camp about which banner to send out troops to attack the city.

In the end, it was Dorgon who made the final decision, and the lower five banners each sent out 2,000 men and horses, and the Han Eight Banners each sent out 5,000 men and horses to attack the capital.

The so-called lower five banners are the Bordered White Banner, the Plain Red Banner, the Bordered Red Banner, the Plain Blue Banner, and the Bordered Blue Banner.

Because the number of people was acceptable, Hauge, Daishan and others could only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

After all the generals left, Dorgon left Fan Wencheng alone and praised him,”Mr. Fan is indeed a man of great talent. Only Mr. Fan can see through the general trend!”

Obviously, Dorgon liked Fan Wencheng, a dedicated servant, very much and praised him without hesitation.

Fan Wencheng smiled cautiously, appearing to be very humble,”Now the destiny of the world is in my Qing Dynasty and in Your Majesty’s hands. The Ming Dynasty is just a grasshopper in autumn and will not last for a few days!”

“With the king here, the Qing Dynasty will soon rule the world! Your servant congratulates the king!”

Fan Wencheng’s words are very interesting. It was the regent Dorgon who ruled the world, so what was the emperor Fulin?

This is clearly saying that Dorgon should be the emperor!

Hearing this, Dorgon was very happy and immediately replaced wine with tea to drink with Fan Wencheng.

This went on until midnight.

Zhu Gaoyi quietly appeared outside Deshengmen, and not far away was the Tartar camp.

“Your Majesty, I am ready to come!”

“Go do it!”

“”I will obey your order!”

Fan Guang, who had received the order, went to make arrangements immediately.

Soon, dozens of bulls with explosives hanging from their horns and their tails on fire rushed towards the Tatar camp like crazy.

The huge noise immediately attracted the attention of the Jiannu camp, and gongs and drums sounded!

“The bandits are attacking!”

“Bandits are coming!” Hearing the noise ,

Dorgon’s face turned pale and he stood up immediately,”What!? Does the Ming emperor really dare to lead the army in person?”.
