Chapter 32: The True Righteous Man
After dealing with the Yuan army that quarried, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had eaten and drunk enough to nourish his spirits, stood up.
In front of Jinling, there is also a Taiping blocking their own forward route, beyond the Taiping, the prosperity of Jinling has been slightly seen.
As far as the eye can see, the outline of Jinling City has basically emerged in front of you.
The wide city wall can't cover the tall palace, the golden and brilliant water pavilion seems to tell its style, and the exquisite and elegant huge building is more like showing off the luxury and dignity that belongs to it.
Standing in the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly stared at the gorgeous scenery not far away, silently.
The breeze blew, but it didn't move his majestic body at all.
The twenty-four generals who stood straight like javelins stood silently behind them, looking down at the bloodthirsty cold light on their silent and cold cheeks.
Behind them, hundreds of thousands of troops were silent, and the neat and high ranks rose with murderous aura, their eyes looking at the prosperity in the distance, and the silence was uniform.
The city in front of me is the purpose of my trip.
Take it and everything will be fine.
Defeat in it, success and failure.
The only way back for everyone has been cut off by their own hands, so it's okay, just this one battle, deciding life and death.
The living, the king!
Loser, thief!
As the saying goes, put it to death and then live.
I don't know how to live, and why I die!
I'll tell you the truth, since you've come here, you don't want to go back alive.
I warn you, my team has come with the determination to die.
In this battle, either you die or I die.
Between life and death, we will separate yin and yang.
Alright, there's nothing more to say, let's get ready to fight!
The purpose of this battle was to take Taiping first, and then Jinling.
Before sending troops, Zhu Yuanzhang should have made a speech. After all, now that everyone is already in the place of death, in the face of this kind of death situation where there is a strong enemy in front and no way back, it is unreasonable for Zhu Yuanzhang not to make a simple talk.
Of course, his most fundamental purpose was to inspire everyone's determination to rebel.
For example, your dear mother was killed by the Yuan army's group of bitches, your beloved father was persecuted and oppressed by the Yuan Dynasty's Mongol Tatars, and your brothers and sisters are being crushed by the Yuan Dynasty's merciless giant machine, struggling in the abyss of pain and torture, oppression, and *.
They are calling, calling to you, brothers, to save them, so that they may be set free, that they may be liberated, that they may be free.
And there's only one way to help them, and that's the only way.
That is to overthrow the government under the rule of the iron hoof, overthrow the Yuan army, a group of bastards who have milk and mothers, and let them go back to their grandmother's house.
Go back and take away those bold women who look like flowers and jade, but the waves are like flower girls, and they are dangling in front of the masters, provoking the eyes of the masters, and the hearts of apes are ape.
Well, no need to talk nonsense.
For revenge, let's set off hand in hand!
Goal, Taiping!
After the peace, Jinling is not far away.
Dispatch troops!
When this army of tigers and wolves really arrived, the defenders of Taiping chose a method that could be said to be extremely stupid.
This army can be said to have exhausted its killing moves against its own people, but when facing Zhu Yuanzhang's army, when facing this taciturn but iron-blooded red turban army that is like a pile of dry firewood, the Taiping defenders seem to be cowardly.
This unit in front of me is by no means the same as other troops in the past, in the past, those troops who claimed to be hundreds of thousands and millions came to the city and only knew how to raise their knives and scold their mothers, and pull down a lump of horse manure under the city, just like a group of dung machines after going through the motions, they will go away, these can be said to be a rabble of miscellaneous fish do not have to worry too much.
But the group of people who appeared in front of them now were different from the past, these guys in front of them seemed to be notoriously repeat offenders, and the scars on their faces all declared their courage and recklessness, and there was no fear and cowardice in the face of death in their eyes, no cowering and weakness in the face of the enemy, and they seemed to have only calm, as silent as death.
In this calm, the real terror pervades the eyes of all of them, fills the hearts of all of them, and this terror does not explode.
Once it erupts, it will inevitably destroy everything like a flood of beasts.
The lone wolf may not be terrifying, but in the face of a group of beasts assembled by a lone wolf, it is a terrifying existence.
In the face of this huge pressure, the Taiping defenders wisely chose to withdraw their troops and defend them.
As defenders, they did not have the flexibility and agility to abandon the city and flee like Peng Zaozhu and Zhao Junyong, nor did they have the huge mind to resist the enemy like Prime Minister Toto, and he did not have the agile and witty war mind of Zhu Yuanzhang.
They have only one kind of them, and they only have one left.
That is: defend the city.
Be a tough guy on the screen who resists leniency and confesses strictly.
In the face of such a group of defenders, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it to heart at first, and now the generals standing behind him are not the characters who have enough fire in their hearts and enough cannons, just wait for their own orders, and Taiping can be taken in one fell swoop.
And these neatly dressed, well-dressed and leather-clad guys in front of them are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, just a bunch of well-dressed beasts who can only suppress and bully the people, they are fierce on the surface, but dirty and obscene behind the scenes, and their group of defenders are just a group of people with a lot of waste snacks.
In the face of this kind of competition, which can be said to have clearly laid out the political positions and political interests of both sides, no matter how much words are redundant, no matter how nice they sound, they are wasteful, so after coming here, Zhu Yuanzhang also exempted himself from unnecessary nonsense.
Directly ordered the siege of the city.
At this time, the main general of the Yuan army who was sitting opposite to guard the Taiping was named Wanzhi Buhua, and the deputy general was named Daru Huachi.
After these two people saw Zhu Yuanzhang's siege army, they were very honorable and showed their outstanding command ability as generals.
At this time, the finisher stood on the city wall, looked down at the silent army under the city, and was full of emotion in his heart, and then shouted to his defenders:
Brothers, persistence is victory, and the people are waiting for the news of our meritorious service.
Brothers, hold me up, stand up!
While defending the city, as the coach, the finisher does not forget to leave another way for himself.
At the same time as Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the siege of the city, Wanzhi Buhua and Daru Huachi made a decision instantly, they immediately handed over the military power to the hands of others, and they led their deputy Zhang Xu and others to abandon the city and flee.
On the one hand, he expressed his determination to defend the city to the death, the city is in the people, and the city is broken.
On the other hand, he is looking for an opportunity to escape for himself, and once the time is ripe, he will let go of the girl's crazy run without scruples.
When this kind of commander, who has no intention of fighting and commanding the War of Resistance, faces Zhu Yuanzhang's troops and confronts Zhu Yuanzhang's army, which is like a tiger and wolf army that has escaped wild horses, the final result is inevitable.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, a group of tigers and wolves, the finisher who had already run away threw away a cadre of his brothers and took his wife and concubine to die.
With the coach slipping away first and the deputy marshal following closely, the leaderless Yuan army could not be Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent at all.
That is, on the day of the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Taiping.
At the same time as capturing Taiping, the actions of the two fell into the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The names of these two people are: Nahachu and Jin Yi.
That is, at the same time that Zhu Yuanzhang broke through the Taiping City Gate, Wanhu Nahachu, who was the defender of Taiping, and Jin Yi, the head of Taiping Road, walked out of the east gate and jumped into the river to kill themselves.
I want you to remember that I don't think what these two men did should be called suicide, but rather righteousness.
In order to protect the peace, he bravely went to righteousness.
Sacrifice oneself for the sake of success and failure.
These two men are truly righteous men.
But how can it be that if the finisher does not spend such an incompetent and cowardly commander to do things, in the case of the main and deputy commanders running away one after another, no matter how good the army is, it can be said that the defeat of Taiping is doomed to the final fate of the two of them.
The living are the first, the dead are the dead!
After hearing the news of the two of them, Zhu Yuanzhang called the two of them as: Righteous man!
and personally ordered a thick burial of the two as a sign of respect.
Zhu Yuanzhang should have some fuss in it, and of course there is some admiration for the two.
However, the approach of these two people is indeed commendable.
As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
If your task is not completed, and when the country is about to die, how can you survive in secret.
Heroism is sometimes a choice.
