The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 792 Stealing People

Yan Chengjin asked his guards to lose weight and then brought the people in.

After a while, a group of four people walked into the camp. Zhu Houzhao saw him and his face was full of joy: "Old Gao, I know you will only attack the city if you think about it for ten or eight days."

Yan Chengjin saw Zhu Zaikun and Zhu Houcong who had eaten roasted sweet potatoes and had black lines all over their faces.

The two little kids were full of curiosity and thought they would have a lot of fun on the road.

"The new emperor ran out of the palace, why did he bring his grandson and Crown Prince Xing with him?"

"In the palace, you may not have the chance to go to the battlefield in your life, so you just took them out of the palace together. How do you plan to attack the city?"

In just a short moment, both Mou Bin and Zhu Hui appeared in the camp.

Mou Bin's eyes were full of eagerness, and he sent people to escort Zhu Houzhao and the emperor's grandson back to the capital. The sooner the better.

However, Yan Chengjin advised: "Now that there is a war in southern Zhili, King Ning will know that the new emperor is in Jiangnan, and he will pursue him at all costs. If he stays in the capital camp, he will be safe."

Mou Bin did not dare to judge whether Zhu Chenhao had any news, so he had to give up.

Outside Nanchang City, the Beijing army was stationed for ten days without sending troops. They ate military rations from the court every day. Even Zhu Houzhao became anxious.

"Lao Gao, when will you send troops?"

Zhu Hui, Xia Zhong and others looked at Yan Chengjin. He had not made any move for so long. Could it be that he was incompetent?

"It is rumored that King Ning also has Kong Mingjun, and I am still sending people to explore." Yan Chengjin said.

The expressions of Zhu Hui and others changed drastically.

During the Battle of Helan Mountain, Kong Ming's army unexpectedly attacked the Tatar military camp with countless rockets, and his reputation spread among the DPRK.

Prince Ning must have known about it that way.

Wouldn't it be troublesome if he also had Kong Mingjun?

Yan Chengjin continued: "I have prepared a plan for Gypsophila, but we still need to wait for a few more days."

Zhu Hui was puzzled: "What are you waiting for?"

Wang Yanzhao led 10,000 Kongming troops southward and stationed themselves in the capital camp. With an order, the city could be massacred with fire.

"Wait until Prince Ning comes out to see me."

When Yan Chengjin was in the capital, he wrote back to Concubine Lou that if there was no news after a few more days, he could order an attack on the city.

At night, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Soon after lying down, Zhu Chenhao's snoring gradually started to sound.

A plump figure climbed up from the side, took out the hidden cotton cloth, and covered Zhu Chenhao's mouth and nose.

Zhu Chenhao's breathing froze for a moment and he fell into a drowsy sleep.

Not long after, the maid came into the dormitory with a soldier. This soldier was the one who was supported by Concubine Lou and sent messages to Yan Chengjin.

Now, when the two armies are fighting, there is no need to hide.

"If you take the prince out of the city, someone will help you."

A Kongtian lantern rises in the night sky.

Early in the morning, in a tent.

Zhu Chenhao felt his head was dizzy and his eyelids moved.

Opening his hazy eyes, he saw a willow weapon rack and a map hanging on the wall.

He touched it with his backhand, but there was no trace of Concubine Lou.

Immediately, he sat up covering his groggy mind.

"Where is this?"

No one answered him.

Turning his eyes, he saw a blazing fire pot with a low red sandalwood table next to it.

There was also a tan blanket made of sheepskin and a pair of deerskin boots on the ground.

"Is this a big tent?"

Zhu Chenhao thought of discussing with his advisers yesterday about sending troops, then returned to the bedroom and fell asleep with Concubine Lou in his arms.

"I should be on the collapse, why do I appear here?"

His body was limp, and after sitting for a while, he sat up from the animal skin.

"My lord, are you awake?"

The maid came in carrying a brocade plate. For breakfast, there were porridge and pancakes, plus a banana.

"Where is this?" Zhu Chenhao was not in the mood to eat. After looking around, he turned around and asked eagerly.

"This is the camp of the Beijing Army, and I am a maid accompanying the army." The maid said timidly.

Zhu Chenhao looked miserable, why was he outside the city?

While he was stunned, a figure walked in, and the maid retreated, followed by Zhu Houzhao, Mou Bin and Zhu Hui.

"It's difficult for the prince to cause trouble, so why not take these troops to fight overseas and occupy the mountain as the king?"

Seeing the person coming, Zhu Chenhao finally believed it.

This is Yan Chengjin’s big account!

"I am the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. How can I stoop to go to a barbarian land?"

"Lao Gao, I just told him that he will not surrender. Please hand over the military seal quickly. I am going to attack the city." Zhu Houzhao was afraid that King Ning would surrender.

He wanted to attack the city, but Yan Chengjin wanted King Ning to go to sea.

However, it was difficult to explain this matter in front of Mou Bin and Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Chengjin said: "If a war begins, the people of Nanchang will be slaughtered. The prince has only a 50% chance of winning. Why not go to sea and become a prince?"

Zhu Chenhao's eyes flickered and he pondered for a moment: "Let me go back and think about it."

Zhu Hui said in a deep voice: "To capture the thief, capture the king first. Now that we have finally captured King Ning, how can we let him go? If we kill him and hang him on the city wall, the thief army will definitely collapse."

If King Ning is killed and the morale of the army is shattered, the traitor army will be wiped out by the court soon.

"No"

Yan Chengjin wanted to send King Ning to sea.

If the rebel army is wiped out by the imperial court, this power will be lost in vain.

"When I came from the capital, I promised the Supreme Emperor to win without losing anyone. If King Ning can surrender, that would be the best thing. Let him go back." Yan Chengjin said.

Historically, Zhu Chenhao was quite tough. It was not difficult to defeat Nanchang City, but it was difficult to get Zhu Chenhao to go to sea.

Zhu Houzhao also said happily: "Let them go, let them go, kill them like this, isn't it true that I came here in vain?"

Cheng Guogong Zhu Hui and Mou Bin looked at these two guys helplessly with strange expressions.

Yan Chengjin said: "If the prince has figured it out in three days, he can send Wang Shouren to inform me. I only believe Wang Shouren.

If there is no news after three days, I will definitely break through the city gate."

This time, Zhu Chenhao could not be persuaded.

If he did not see the strength of the court, he would not surrender.

After a while, Zhu Chenhao walked towards the west gate of Nanchang City.

Who got me out of the city? Was it Concubine Lou?

Concubine Lou has been in the palace for more than ten years. She is usually kind and generous. It is not surprising that there are loyal people.

But why did Concubine Lou help Yan Chengjin?

Yan Chengjin waited for two days, but King Ning locked the city gate and no news came.

Early in the morning of the third day, the spy who supervised Poyang Lake came to report.

"King Ning's navy went down Jiujiang, connected end to end, for more than sixty miles.

There are six huge ironclad ships as royal ships."

More than sixty miles!

There are at least more than a thousand ships.

Zhu Hui looked solemn, and sent people to dig a huge pool in Nankang and build boats. When the court found out, it was too late.

Yan Chengjin was secretly happy.

This way, he didn't need to provide boats, and he could go out to the sea directly and rush to the Delhi Sultan.

On the third night, drums were beating outside the nine gates, and soldiers rushed to the city gates.

Prince Ning is going to send troops!

The guards ran in to report: "New Emperor, Sir, Duke, there are Kong Ming's army in the sky, it is the army of Prince Ning!"

Zhu Hui and his men changed drastically when they heard the sound, knowing the power of the rain of arrows.

Yan Chengjin seemed to have expected it: "Climb the cloud tower and shoot down."

Outside the tent, there were cloud towers towering into the sky.

Soldiers leaned on the railings and fired rockets.

The night wind was not strong, and before Kong Ming's army could fly high, they were met with a rain of arrows.

The fire spread quickly.

The generals on the top of the city saw this scene and hurried back to report.

"Your Majesty, Kong Ming's army is on fire!"

"How can a rocket be fired so high?" King Ning didn't believe it at all.

"Yunlou, such a high Yunlou!"

Zhu Chenhao rode his horse to the wall. Before he climbed the wall, he saw the Yunlou on the top of the wall.

Liu Yangzheng advised: "Liangxiang engineers are familiar with sky lanterns. I have said it before, it's not the right time yet."

Kong Ming's sky lanterns were made by Liangxiang engineers, and they knew them well.

Zhu Chenhao snorted coldly, and he couldn't retreat.
