Chapter 269: Hero Twilight Zhu Yuanzhang
The Black Flame is trying to use what little strength he has left to show his temper and vent his anger.
Due to the propaganda of the Uighur army's demonization of the Ming army, and the fact that there was a ready-made example of Borhu to exploit, the Uighurs in the city now had a great fear of the Ming army, believing that as long as the demonic Ming army rushed in, they would definitely die in the whole city, leaving no one behind, so they resisted very desperately, and it could be said that there was no room for the slightest.
Zhu Ao rode around Yili on his horse and circled the inner city, and found no flaws or opportunities to take advantage of, which was actually within the scope of his expectations, because the Khan of the Uighur army, the black son, was also a master of using soldiers, and would not make some low-level mistakes like Xiaobai to let him seize and break through in one fell swoop, and then blow it in the history books. It seems that this is destined to be another tough battle.
After Zhu Ao took his own soldiers to inspect the battlefield, he returned to his big tent, Di Linaza had been waiting there for a long time, took off his cloak for Zhu Ao, took off his horsewhip, and asked, "King, how is it?" ”
Zhu Ao frowned, obviously in a very heavy mood, and said, "This black fire man is very difficult to deal with, we have to be prepared for a tough battle." ”
Di Linaza was actually mentally prepared for this, but she still had her own thoughts in her heart, and said: "King, now that we have reached an alliance with Timur, the enemy in the west no longer needs to worry, and there is no need to worry about the father and emperor in the east." The concubines see that the city is tall, and there will be great casualties if they attack it, so let's besiege it instead, so that the people inside will have no food, and they will naturally surrender. ”
Zhu Ao subconsciously shook his head, he knew that this method was the safest, and the casualties were the smallest, but he didn't plan to take this method, because he crossed over, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang died in June of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and now it is the end of May, and there is not much time left for him, God knows what Zhu Yunwen will do after he comes up, and when the time comes, he will sandwich himself in the middle with an edict, whether he will fight or not, and if he does not fight, isn't it quite uncomfortable? "We don't have much time left, my father is dying, and we must take the Uighur kingdom as soon as possible." ”
Di Linaza was shocked by his words, and the horsewhip in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, there was no news from the court, how did he know that his father was dying? Cursing his father like this, it is a terrible sin to be known, poking it there like a log, and he can't say a word.
Zhu Ao suddenly realized his gaffe, raised his head sharply and looked at Di Linaza with a frightened face, knowing that no matter how much he explained, it would be in vain, so he simply changed the topic and said: "The widow is afraid of long nights and dreams, you go and send someone to call everyone above the general, and the widow wants to hold a military meeting." ”
Di Linaza came back to her senses, she would not be stupid enough to ask Zhu Ao such a thing, turned around and walked out of the tent, called a few heralds and gave them the task.
After a while, all the generals of Su Kingdom came, they were dressed as a whole, their faces were radiant, and they all wanted to rely on this battle to win military merits and earn a hard-won property for future generations. ”
Zhu Ao waved his hand very casually, pointed to the small Mazha in the big tent and said, "Generals, please sit down, today we will discuss how to take this Yili City, please speak freely." ”
General Wang Huchen was the first to stand up and said, "What else is there to discuss when we have 200,000 people besieging a lonely city, just surround it on all sides and fight it." ”
"yes, yes. Your Majesty, the Uighur army is already at the end of its power, and they will definitely not come out of it, so let's besiege it on all sides. ”
"That's right! The last general will do his best to break through this city as soon as possible! ”
One by one, the generals of Su Guo stood up indignantly and shouted.
Morale is available! Zhu Ao's heart also rose a battle rage, the generals have a point, it's all up to this, no matter what tricks you use, the black fire people will definitely not come out, and this city is so big, there must be troops in every direction, what kind of sneak attack, sound attack will definitely not work, look at the number of people on your side, as long as you send a signal, someone will definitely come to support, these years, who is stupid who has been on the battlefield for a few years?
Zhu Aohuo stood up all of a sudden, and said loudly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!" The generals of Su Guo also stood up with Zhu Ao's brushing and said loudly.
"General Qu Neng!" Zhu Ao glanced at Qu Neng and ordered loudly.
"The last general!" Qu Neng took a step forward with a snort, stepped out, and replied loudly with his head held high.
"Order you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the south of the city!"
"The last general obeys!"
"General Fan Chaoxi!" Zhu Ao glanced at Fan Chaoxi again, and then ordered.
"The last general!" Fan Chaoxi also took a step forward and stepped out of class, and replied loudly with his head held high.
"Order you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the north of the city!"
"The last general obeys!"
"General Zhao Deyong!" Zhu Ao swept Zhao De again and ordered loudly with a glance. These generals are all old men who follow him, and he is very easy to use, and they are all talented in the field, and Zhu Ao is very relieved to hand over a city gate to them.
"The last general!" Zhao Deyong also took a step forward, stepped out of the queue, and replied loudly.
"Order you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the west of the city!"
"The last general obeys!"
In the end, Zhu Ao looked at Li Mian, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and said, "General Li Mian!" ”
Li Mian stood out of the queue with a "brush" and shouted loudly: "The end will be!" ”
Zhu Ao threw his horsewhip to the ground, and said with great majesty: "You lead your Shenji battalion to support the above three generals, how to distribute the firepower is your business." ”
"The last general obeys!" Li Mian took a step forward and said loudly.
In the end, Zhu Ao looked around at the generals, and said in a very solemn tone, emotionally: "Generals, since the founding of our country, I have always been facing enemies on three sides, struggling to survive in the cracks. Thanks to the efforts of the generals, we have laid down thousands of miles of land and greatly expanded the living space of our country, but this is far from enough. Compared with all the countries in the world, my Su country is really just a region, and its status is only equivalent to that of Western Xia back then, and we don't dare to provoke any powerful country, this is not what we want. As long as we wipe out the Uighurs today and occupy their lands, we will be among the great powers of the world, and then we will be able to enjoy eternal prosperity, compete with the countries of the world for hegemony, and dance with wolves! This is the widow's long-cherished wish, please generals! ”
The generals were completely moved by Zhu Ao's words, to be honest, they didn't have much sense of security in their hearts, because Su Guo is still too small, the strategic space is limited, if it is not well developed, it may really be annexed by a strong country in the future, and then the family business they have worked so hard to lay for future generations will be snatched away by others, which is absolutely unacceptable to them, after hearing Zhu Ao's words, they are also greatly moved, and they have raised their fists and shouted: "Serve the king!" Serve the King! ”
"Good, good, good!" Zhu Ao was very satisfied with the scene in front of him, and said three good words in a row very happily, saying: "Pass my general order, prepare separately today, and tomorrow is the siege of the city." ”
"The last general obeys!" The generals gave another military salute to Zhu Ao and replied in unison.
After the mission was deployed, all the generals returned to their camps and prepared separately.
According to Zhu Ao's deployment, he will be in charge of the East Gate tomorrow, that is, the main direction of attack of Su Guo, he will leave Wang Huchen as the vanguard, and Sheng Yong as fire support, he believes that when the time comes to the battle tomorrow, these two famous generals will not let him down.
At night, the soldiers of Su Guo were preparing for tomorrow's war except for those who were patrolling the night, and Zhu Ao was the king, so naturally he didn't have to prepare in person, so he took Di Lina out and made a fire by himself, roasting a leg of mutton to eat.
Although the Jin clan is a very good pet, Zhu Ao did not bring her over this time, because Yili is different from Gaochang City, Gaochang City only has 10,000 troops, and there are no heavy weapons, it can be said that it can be broken overnight, but Yili is the capital of the Uighurs for a long time, the city is tall, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, not with a playful mind can be broken, if you let the Ming soldiers see that they are fighting and taking care of pets, it will be a big blow to morale, In this way, there will be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who shed their blood and died in vain.
Zhu Ao is their king, so naturally he can't do such a selfish thing.
"Oh king, look how beautiful the stars are in the sky." Di Linaza sat by the fire, leaned her head on Zhu Ao's shoulder, and smiled.
I am still very relieved about Di Lina Zha Zhu Ao, first of all, she has long been the righteous concubine of Su Guo, and the soldiers who take her with her can also accept her, not to mention that her wise soldiers also know, taking her by her side is like having one more strategist, and no one will have an opinion.
Zhu Ao pushed Di Linaza up violently and quipped: "Don't patronize and look at the sky, the roast leg of lamb is mushy." ”
Di Linaza reacted at this time, and as soon as her calf bent, she stood up from the ground, hurriedly ran to the side of the roast lamb leg, turned the shaft, and said, "The concubine should die, it's the concubine who is careless." ”
"Alright." Zhu Ao walked behind her, hugged her little waist and said: "You are the princess, I am the prince, the two of us have been industrious since we were children, where will you bake what leg of mutton, as long as you can cook this thing, it doesn't matter." ”
Di Linaza had a sweet face, gently leaned on Zhu Ao's chest, and said with a smile: "Then why does the king have to take the test himself, and let the sergeants send it to us after baking?" ”
"Can that be the same?" Zhu Ao's head moved forward, kissed Di Linazha's neck, and said, "What the widow wants is this atmosphere, let others send it over, how can there be this atmosphere?" ”
"Atmosphere?" Di Linaza smiled sweetly, although she enjoyed the atmosphere very much, but she still hoped that the king could say it himself, because this moment belonged to the two of them, and said, "What kind of atmosphere?" ”
"What else could it be?" Zhu Ao kissed Di Linazha's fragrant shoulder, and said with a doting face: "Of course it's a romantic atmosphere?" ”
"Romantic?" It's the first time I've heard of this word, and although I don't know what it means, it sounds like it's good, and says, "What is romance?" Where did the king hear these words? ”
"Uhhh This time it was Zhu Ao's turn to be deflated, how to explain this, and after thinking for a long time, he replied with difficulty: "This romantic meaning is to express love to the person you love and make the other party happy." Well, that's what it means. ”
Di Linazha's cheeks flushed, her heart was as sweet as pouring a honeypot, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you king, the concubine is very romantic now, I hope that time will always stay in this moment and never move forward again." ”
At this moment, she was sincerely happy, because the romantic meaning that Zhu Ao said just now is to express her love to the person she loves, and make the other party happy, which shows that her beloved king loves her, and it is not as a prince's high favor, but equal, as a husband's love from the heart.
Zhu Ao was also intoxicated by the current atmosphere, his arm around Di Linazha's slender waist tightened slightly, his nose leaned to her fragrant neck, smelled the natural body fragrance she exuded, and did not feel a little intoxicated, and then began to suck greedily and presumptuously, as if one less sip would kill him, and said: "It would be good if the widow was the vassal king of the peaceful and prosperous era, no need to train the army, no need to face this self-righteous and ambitious heroes, don't worry about your fiefdom being taken away and the throne being abolished." , the widow doesn't dare to do anything every day, and stays with you all day long. ”
Di Linazha's girl's heart is about to melt, since he met the king, he has never confessed to himself like today, today is really the happiest day, she feels that her life has been worth it, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the king, if the king accompanies the concubines all day, what about the sisters?" What about those new pets that the king has received? ”
Women are really jealous by nature, and they haven't changed since ancient times. Zhu Ao smiled slightly and pinched her little nose, and said, "Then the widow will accompany you sisters to be romantic, as for those pets, they are originally the playthings of the widow, why should you bother with them?" ”
Di Lina pouted, deliberately pretending to be unhappy and said: "Where have the concubines seen with them, the concubines are also the princesses of the king himself, can they be guilty?" But then again, the King. The concubine is still a little worried, but now that the Uighurs are about to die, there is no need to worry about it anymore. Although that Timur heard that he was very powerful, he was afraid that he would not be able to come over for a while, and he did not have to worry about it for the time being. The most important thing is the grandson of the imperial court, if he does something unfavorable to the king after ascending the throne, what should he do? After all, he holds the world in his hands and is an orthodox emperor, so the king must not be guarded against. ”
Zhu Ao's heart was also depressed, he raised his head, sighed slightly, and said: "After he comes up, he will definitely cut the domain, as for whether he will cut the country or not, I don't know, but the widow has always adhered to this principle - if people don't offend me, I won't offend, and if people offend me, I will pay back twice." In any case, Su Guo was given to me by my father himself, and the name is justified, and it has developed into what it is today, and it is a widow who has done it step by step, and the widow does not owe anyone, if someone wants to pay attention to Su Guo, the widow will never agree. Even if you don't want to fight for this life, even if you end up with a ruined reputation and a reputation that has been infamous for thousands of years, you must protect this home for you. ”
Di Lina's heart warmed, and she tore off a piece of the roasted lamb leg that was almost roasted and handed it to Zhu Ao's mouth, saying, "The meat should be almost roasted, the king should taste it first." The king doesn't have to think too much, things are all taken step by step, don't put so much pressure on yourself. No matter what, the concubine will always accompany the king, and the concubine believes that the sisters think the same way. ”
With the words of his own woman, Zhu Ao was also very comforted, tasted the roast leg of lamb and cooked, took out a dagger, and sat on the ground with his concubine Duan and had a picnic.
The mutton was very warm and nourishing, and after eating, the fire in the lower abdomen of the already young and strong Zhu Ao burned more vigorously, and after extinguishing the fire very casually, he took Di Lina back to the tent.
Zhu Ao took off his coat under the service of Di Linazha, and Di Linaza herself gently untied her clothes, neither of them wore armor, so they didn't need others to help them take it off.
Women always love beauty, Di Linaza also took a look in the mirror when she removed her makeup before going to bed, to be honest, she is still a little narcissistic, because she knows that she is beautiful.
She is a typical slap face, her skin is also exotic and fair, even if she doesn't apply powder, it will give people an incomparably beautiful feeling, she looked at the mirror, turned her head slightly, took off a few hairpins on her head, and gently put them on the table, and then stroked her cloud-like hair, wearing only a purple-red silk pajamas, and walked to Zhu Ao in a curling manner, sat in his arms, and said with a smile: "King, is the concubine beautiful?" ”
Zhu Ao smiled slightly, took a small glass of wine in his right hand and handed it to her lips, and said, "Beautiful, how can the widow's concubine not be beautiful?" ”
Di Lina smiled and slowly stretched her head forward, letting her lips touch the wine glass handed over by Zhu Ao, Zhu Ao's right hand slowly raised upward, and she drank it, but she didn't swallow it, smiled evilly, and said in a vague tone: "The concubine respects the king with a glass." ”
With that, he handed over his lips. Tonight is another lingering night.
At the same time, in Jinling City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away, Zhu Yuanzhang, a generation of heroes, has come to the end of his life.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been sick for a long time, and in the past few days, he can't even take medicine, he can't get out of bed and walk at all, and when he needs to move, he can only have a few eunuchs carrying the dragon chair out of bed, and he can only eat some rice porridge every day to maintain his life.
Although the imperial doctors are doing their best to treat them, although no one dares to say it explicitly, but everyone with a discerning eye can see that the most legendary emperor in history is afraid that he will not be able to survive this hurdle, people live for seventy years, Zhu Yuanzhang is already seventy-one, and he has been an emperor for thirty-one years, which is enough.
Therefore, most people's hearts have secretly prepared, waiting to send away the most difficult and stern king in history to welcome the arrival of a new dynasty.
"Yun Bing, Yun Bing." After Zhu Yuanzhang fell asleep deeply, his spirit improved a lot, and he began to call Zhu Yunwen's name again, in his life, he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy, and everyone who should be beaten has been convinced, so it can be said that there are not many regrets in life.
The only regret is that his eldest son Zhu Biao, who has always loved him, walked in front of him, allowing him to experience the pain of a white-headed man sending a black-headed person.
Now, he is leaving, he is also very clear about his condition, he knows that he is choking enough, this world has been trampled under his feet, the Ming Dynasty has been as stable as Mount Tai after more than 30 years of governance, as long as there is no anti-heaven factor, no one can shake it. He has nothing to worry about, the only thing he is worried about is his weak but somewhat self-righteous grandson.
As soon as I woke up, I wanted to teach him earnestly, and said what I had told him before several times, people may be this problem when they are old, and their mother-in-law is always not at ease with their juniors, so they will tell them the lessons they have learned over and over again, so it is easy to provoke the upset of younger generations.
However, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige, no one dares to express his annoyance, let alone Zhu Yunwen, he has always been known for his filial piety, it is precisely because of this that he was established by Zhu Yuanzhang as the emperor's grandson, it should be noted that Zhu Yunwen's filial piety should not be pretended, you must know what kind of person Lao Zhu is, he has been in the limelight all his life, no one has ever seen it, what battles, what conspiracies and tricks have not been encountered, pretending to be forced under his nose, and pretending to be so many years old, it is more difficult than letting the Ming Dynasty go to the moon.
After Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill, Zhu Yunwen has been serving here, unable to untie his clothes, just like he served Zhu Biao back then, he also boiled up and stood up, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious on his eyes.
Zhu Yunwen was dozing off because he was too tired, but when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang call him, he immediately came to his senses, ran to the bed in three steps and two steps, knelt beside Zhu Yuanzhang, held his big rough hands, and said with a sad face: "Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang, are you awake?" How do you feel? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed heavily a few more times, coughing and unable to speak. Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunwen was very anxious and shouted at the eunuch behind him: "Imperial doctor, go and call the imperial doctor outside." ”
"Alright." Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his cough, waved his heavy hand very weakly, and said weakly: "Don't bother anymore, it's useless for them to come." I ask you, have you summarized the battle report between your fourteenth uncle and Warat? ”
