Chapter 168: No Need (First Update, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Camping!
After the military order to camp was issued, the soldiers immediately got busy, although it was still early from dark, but the winter was cold and frozen, and it was not easy to dig the soil, although so, with the efforts of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, in the evening of the day, several earthen cities with walls high seven and a half feet thick appeared in the wilderness, and five of the angular fortresses of the Gongtu City stood in the wilderness, on the angular earthen forts, a heavy 14-pound field cannon pointed directly at all sides, this field artillery is the most powerful field artillery of the loyal army, whether it is used to defend the city, Or siege cities, they are all excellent weapons. Inside the earthen walls, canvas cotton tents had been erected, and the camp was full of lights and horses swaying in the wind.
In the center of the camp is a large tent, here is Zhu Mingzhong's Chinese army tent, at this time, in this Chinese army tent, dozens of generals, staff officers, all of you and I are discussing tomorrow's battle, more precisely, there is a person.
Li Ziyuan!
For Li Ziyuan, many of them are no strangers, after all, he was also in charge of the loyal army back then, and even almost swept away the king's loyal army, if it were not for the brothers' gratitude to the king for his kindness, I am afraid that there would be no more King Huai in this world.
That's why they don't have to be ashamed of themselves.
Even, all along, the preaching in the loyal and righteous army has been represented by Li Ziyuan to teach soldiers what is disloyal. Of course, correspondingly, the brothers from the old camp are naturally a symbol of loyalty, and the loyalty of these brothers in the old camp has also been rewarded, and they are now probably all officers and assistants in the army, and the worst ones are also sergeants, who receive at least five or six taels a month.
"Kill him!"
There is hardly any suspense, whether it is Yu Shujie, Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowen and others, they only have one idea - to kill Li Ziyuan.
"King, as soon as the Li thief dies, the soldiers under his command will surrender, so that the world can be stable!"
"Yes, my lord, if you can kill them before the battle, not only will the soldiers not be innocent, but the world will be quickly pacified, and in this way, it will be a blessing for all the people of the world!"
Almost everyone was very much in favor of killing Li Ziyuan, and even more in favor of assassinating him before the war.
Assassinate the enemy commander!
There have been many such examples throughout the ages, and it seems that there has never been any dispute, and killing the enemy commander is a shortcut to victory. Zhu Mingzhong naturally did not have the slightest doubt about this, after all, whether it was Zheng Jing or Hong Chengchou, they all died in this law, and the reward was not insignificant.
In order to protect the safety of the Zheng family, Zheng Jing was unwilling, but he had to hand over the Zheng family, although the family under the command of the Zheng family would inevitably have some complaints, but no one dared to speak, although in the eyes of Zheng Jing, his family would be very domineering, but they did not dare to be domineering in front of Zhu Mingzhong, for no other reason - strength! The Zheng family will dare to bully Zheng Jing's youth, but they dare not call Zhu Mingzhong a "relative", because there are hundreds of thousands of strong troops under his command. Therefore, even if they do not want to, they can only choose to surrender.
As for the generals under the command of Yu Hong Chengchou, in order to survive, they all chose to surrender to Cheng, of course, unlike when they took refuge in Li Ziyuan, they recognized Zhu Mingzhong's position as "Ming General" and "Ming Official". Hong Chengchou's original submission was exchanged for the "bleaching" of their identities.
It's just that those who have been appeased by good words don't know that some of them, even if they "bleach" their identities, cannot make up for their crimes, and they will eventually die on the river and in the sea, and even together with the deployment under their command, they will be exiled to places such as the northeast with their families in the future. This is the greatest gift to them.
The deaths of Zheng Jing and Hong Chengchou allowed Zhu Mingzhong to get all this without a single soldier and get half of the world.
It's just that......
Yu Guang glanced at Shi Lei, but Zhu Mingzhong did not speak.
Kill the thief with Qi, this suggestion was made by Shi Lei, but why did he make this suggestion. First coughed, and after everyone's words were faint, he stared at Shi Lei and asked.
"Four stones, if you want to kill it, what should you do?"
As soon as he asked, everyone turned their attention to Shi Lei, although the role of the military department in the army is to maintain military discipline, but as we all know, the military department is also responsible for intelligence collection, and they have secret agents in various places. If assassination is mentioned, it is certainly appropriate for the military chief to do it.
"Back to the king, there are still more than ten spies in the Li Thief Army, although they can't get close to the Li Thief, but if they hit desperately and hit the big tent of the Chinese army at night with double guns and grenades, they should be forty percent sure!"
Shi Lei's answer made everyone who originally advocated the assassination of Li Ziyuan stunned, while Qian Lei, Lu Liuliang and others looked at Shi Lei thoughtfully when they were a little surprised, savoring the meaning of his words.
Shi Lei's words revealed two meanings, one is that there are spies in Li Ziyuan's army, this is for sure, it is normal to plant spies in the opponent's army when marching and fighting. As for these two, it is difficult for those people to contact Li Ziyuan, so they can only attack, not assassinate.
Although he seemed to be talking about Li Ziyuan, for the extremely sensitive Lu Liuliang, he still sensed other meanings from these words - the military department is not capable of carrying out the assassination mission!
Since the military director could not put his hands on Li Ziyuan's side, it was naturally impossible to poison the first emperor, the first king of Min and others, which was indirectly dissociating from these things. Of course, it was not easy to assassinate the chief general in the army.
"Forty percent grasp, four percent grasp ......"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and said.
"Attacking it unprepared with more than a dozen people and attacking the Chinese army, let alone forty percent, it seems that Yi Gu may not even be able to grasp two percent."
"Even if you are only 20% sure, you can still mess with the Chinese army and mess with its morale, so that the war can be more beneficial to our army!"
"What Commander Zhang said is very true, the king, attacking the thief army can disperse his army's heart, but in the opinion of the minister, he can order the army to spy on the thief army in wartime to disturb his army's heart, so the overall situation can be determined!"
When Zhang Xiaowu and others put forward their suggestions, Zhu Mingzhong didn't speak, he just sat there. In fact, he already had the answer, and the reason why he raised this matter at this time was just to tell the world that he had no way to assassinate, and it was also to put aside the relationship with Zhu Youlang, Zheng Jing, Hong Chengchou and others who were either violently ill or killed. As an emperor, he naturally can't have anything to do with these things, and now he is just telling the world through Li Ziyuan.
"It's okay to kill them with secret agents, it's just ...... Completely unnecessary! ”
Looking at everyone, Zhu Mingzhong's voice sank, and he said in a solemn voice.
"Although Li Thief is out of loyalty to the righteous army, he is no stranger to training and using troops with me, and it is really a big trouble for our army, but what can I do with this?"
With a sneer, Zhu Mingzhong looked at everyone and said.
"After all, he's just a Xibei commodity, so what's there to fear? With a spy attack, but it fell behind, this time, the lonely army to defeat it head-on, isn't it intended to be alone in the encirclement? On the contrary, I want the world to see how Lone defeated this thief with a dignified teacher! Besides......"
Suddenly, the corners of Zhu Mingzhong's lips lifted slightly.
"Don't you want to be a marquis with military merits?"
Behind a dignified division, how many casualties will there be?
No one cares, the generals in this army don't care, they were still immersed in the idea of "surrendering without a fight" when they heard the "marquis with military merits", everyone's faces changed slightly, there will be any more arguments about "winning with wonders", this military merit is the most important.
"The king is wise! We will live up to the king's expectations and fight bravely to kill the enemy......"
When everyone got up and swore an oath, Lu Liuliang, who had been silent, glanced at the king, and then lowered his eyes slightly, still silent as before, how could he not know why the king said this.
Sometimes, there are things that always need to be said in a different way!
Standing on the half-thick earthen wall, Zhu Mingzhong looked forward at his army, but his mood seemed very calm at this time, he just quietly looked into the distance,
Tomorrow, Li Ziyuan's vanguard will encounter the striker, and in what way will the first battle be fought?
Although he didn't know whether it would be a skirmish between cavalry, a mixed battle of infantry and cavalry, or an infantry line formation, Zhu Mingzhong did not doubt the victory, after all, whether in terms of equipment or training, the loyal and righteous army was far superior to the rebel army, and it was even better in morale.
Thinking that he would soon be able to enter the Beijing Division and ascend the throne in the Beijing Division, Zhu Mingzhong's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of pride that he had never felt before, which instantly filled his heart. Quite a little surprised, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, tomorrow must be a sunny day!
This is the best weather for firearms combat!
Tomorrow, he must win one game first, and only in this way can he force Li Ziyuan to "slow down".
But what if Li Ziyuan withdrew from the Beijing division after being frustrated? At that time, a beautiful battle of annihilation will become a pursuit war, and when the time comes, the defeated army will flee all the way, and the place will be eroded for thousands of miles, for Zhu Mingzhong, who is eager to let the people of the world enjoy peace again, he naturally does not want to see this scene happen.
His brows were tightly locked, thinking of this possibility and looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Zhu Mingzhong's brows became tighter and tighter, and after a while, he asked in his heart:
"Now Li Ziyuan should also be planning tomorrow's battle......"
Li Ziyuan was silent for a moment, stood there with his head bowed and hesitated, and sighed deeply. Thinking of tomorrow's battle, although I was full of confidence, at this time, I was inevitably a little hesitant in the face of another future, and it was at this time that a herald came with the news that Li Jun had crossed the Luan River in advance.
