Chapter 287: The Tablet Relief (I)
Zhu Di's words made Xiao Fan confused, he only knew that the attack on the camp last night knocked Yan Jun with a hard stick, as for the details of this, I don't know, just like a robbery, you knocked people out and took away his money, but no robber would care if the fat sheep's blow hurt or not, and where it was knocked.
At the same time as Xiao Fan was flustered, under the city wall, Zhu Di rode on a horse alone, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the city, and shouted angrily: "Xiao Fan, you bastard, who did you send to do such a pickled thing last night?" Call him out, and this king will break him to pieces! ”
Coincidentally, Taixu was standing behind Xiao Fan at this time, he was originally a cultivator, and he was not interested in going to the city to participate in the battle between the rebels and the imperial court, but today is an exception, last night Taixu made such a big movement, put so many artillery battles, and was in a hurry when evacuating.
Hearing Zhu Di's shout, Taixu couldn't help but shrink behind Xiao Fan, although Zhu Di is a thief now, but he is the emperor's uncle after all, Taixu has a natural fear of people in the royal family.
Xiao Fan scratched his head inexplicably, turned his head and asked Taixu behind him: "You blew up his pit last night?" ”
Too humble rolled his eyes: "How do I know?" ”
"What did you see at the time?"
"I only saw a man running out with his pants covered in......"
"That's right, no wonder he's so angry...... Master, you are so naughty. ”
“…………”
After being confirmed, Xiao Fan looked back at Zhu Di under the city wall, his face was very strange.
Trying to hold back the violent laughter that burst out of his mouth, Xiao Fan's face was distorted very much.
Remind myself again and again in my heart that it is not right to laugh at the unfortunate experiences of others, even if the other party is an enemy, it is too unkind, I am a righteous gentleman...... With a stiff face, Xiao Fan said solemnly: "Lord Wang, I'm sorry, there was a mistake on the military map we took last night, so we blew up the wrong place...... Poof! ”
Xiao Fan finally couldn't help laughing, the boss smiled, and all the soldiers guarding the city next to him also laughed, this laugh was uncontrollable, everyone in the city laughed forward and backwards, and they couldn't support it, many people held their stomachs, and their tears came out of their eyes.
Zhu Di's face has turned iron blue, like a bronze stolen from the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty...... In the midst of loud laughter, Zhu Di looked up to the sky and was furious: "Xiao Fan thief, dare to insult me like this!" If this king breaks Jinan, he will divide your five horses into corpses, don't talk nonsense with you, come to someone, and give the order to attack the city......"
"Slow, slow!" Xiao Fan smiled suddenly, and hurriedly stopped Zhu Di: "Don't be impulsive, it's our rudeness, I sincerely apologize to you......"
"Don't talk nonsense, come on, start fighting......"
"Lord Wang, I promise that I won't blow up the wrong next time, really!"
"Next time? Xiao Fan, do you think that this king's camp is a thatched pit, you can come if you want to come, and you can leave if you want? Zhu Di was so angry that he didn't choose to speak.
"Poof!"
Xiao Fan couldn't help it again...... Fighting such a situation in the war really caught Xiao Fan by surprise, this should be a very serious matter, how did it become like this?
Seeing Xiao Fan laugh again, Zhu Di felt as if he had been slapped on his face, and it hurt hotly.
"Lord Wang, I was wrong, I won't laugh anymore......" Xiao Fan looked at the green tendons on Zhu Di's head, and hurriedly apologized.
Fighting a war is a war, and it is immoral to laugh at the enemy with this kind of low-level taste, Xiao Fan is a very moral person.
Taking a long breath, Zhu Di's deep voice echoed in the city: "Xiao Fan, you are a bastard, an out-and-out bastard." ”
This sentence came out of Zhu Di's mouth, not a question, nor an insult, his tone was very calm and determined, as if he was saying a truth similar to "the sun rises in the east".
Xiao Fan nodded: "Those who know me, Lord Wang, I have never denied that I am a bastard, but I have always thought that if you are loyal to the court and the king, even if you are a bastard, you are a good bastard, Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”
Zhu Di sneered: "Loyal to the imperial court? The court has been made into a miasma by you ministers, muddy, loyal and good have been framed, the Son of Heaven has been blinded, you cover the sky with one hand, control the government and government, what kind of military system changes are arbitrary, and ignore the legal system of the ancestors, such a court, is this king still loyal to it? ”
Xiao Fan stared at Zhu Di and said coldly: "The prince is a down-to-earth man, I have always admired it, rebellion is rebellion, if you want to be the emperor, you can be the emperor, find so many excuses, don't you think this is covering your ears and stealing the bell?" Can you deceive yourself and the world? What to restore the ancestral system, what is the side of the Qing monarch, it is nothing more than a layer of ambition to hide the skin, the prince, if you want to be the emperor, let it be straightforward, why bother to find these high-sounding reasons to deceive hundreds of thousands of people to work for you, you are creating evil. ”
Zhu Di said angrily: "The last decree of the first emperor, when the court has annihilated the chaos of the dynasty, the vassal kings from all over the country have the right to raise troops into Beijing to eliminate the king of Qin, this king is in the heavens, what is wrong?" ”
"The Son of Heaven is benevolent, since he ascended the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, widely spread benevolent government, lenient in governing the people, conscientious, all the people in the world are subordinate, and scholars and students are praised. Lord Wang, your excuse is too pale and weak, and it is even more wrong to raise an army to rebel! ”
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and sneered: "Xiao Fan, is it true that the so-called monarchs, saints, and sages will believe it just because you are alone with red mouth and white teeth?" Who in the world doesn't know, the biggest annihilator in the court is you, this king wants to clear the king's side, the first thing to clean up is you, the thief of the country, with you in the court, how can the world be peaceful? Where does the image of prosperity come from? ”
Xiao Fan was scolded by Zhu Di for "thief" and "annihilation", and said unhappily: "Speak well, who is the annihilation?" What qualifications do you have as a thief to say that I am a rebel? ”
Zhu Di said angrily: "The Son of Heaven is deceived by you thieves, what are you not a thief?" ”
Xiao Fan said angrily: "You fart!" You are the annihilator, the anti-thief...... You're! ”
These words touched Zhu Di's sore spot, there is no doubt that last night's experience was the darkest day in Zhu Di's life, but he was blown up all over the body of and urine, which he absolutely couldn't bear.
"I ...... I say you are the ancestors! Xiao Fan, we will never die! Someone, send an order to the three armies, and attack the city! Breaking the city, Jinan chickens and dogs are not left! ”
After Zhu Di roared sharply, he turned his horse and walked back, and in an instant, there were three loud bangs, the Hongwu cannon of the Yan army took the lead in firing, and a swarthy cannon barrel made a earth-shattering roar, after a round of cannon rain, a column of soldiers carrying rectangular wooden boxes quickly ran out of the Yan army's forward array, holding shields all the way to the root of the city wall, and the bows and arrows of the city defenders poured on them but had no effect.
After the soldiers of the Yan Army carrying the wooden box arrived at the bottom of the city wall, they lit the fuse next to the box as soon as they lowered their heads, and there was a loud bang, and the three rows of small wooden windows in the box suddenly erupted countless tongues of fire, and a small iron bullet was shot at the city wall with a terrible scream, and the defenders did not notice it for a while, and the first row of soldiers at the battlement of the city wall fell to the ground one after another, and the screams came and went.
This is the sharpest firearm in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, its principle is the same as the vehicle-mounted rocket artillery in the previous life, this firearm has a very apt name, called "a swarm of bees".
This kind of firearm is huge, just like carrying three rows of small cannons, but it has a shortcoming, that is, it is very troublesome to reload ammunition, a box can only hold three rows of ammunition, and it takes a long time to recharge after the fight, basically the same concept as a firearm with a surname, Zhu Di used this firearm when he went north to Mongolia, and the effect was very significant.
Xiao Fan was shocked when he saw this, he couldn't imagine that the Ming Dynasty actually had such powerful and advanced firearms, if the Yan army was equipped with a large number of this thing, under the cover of a swarm of bees, how could Jinan be able to defend it if the Yan army used a ladder to climb the city? The defenders didn't even dare to take their heads, so they could only let the Yan army climb the city wall and start a white-knuckle battle on the horse road of the city wall, and Jinan would be in danger at that time...... When Xiao Fan was shocked, countless Yan troops rushed forward with ladders howling, like a black torrent, covering all the land in an instant.
Cao Yi raised his eyebrows, drew his sword and pointed forward, and shouted: "Bow and arrow, up!" ”
On the horse road of the north city wall, a row of archers stepped forward silently, took bows, and pulled strings.
"Put!"
There was a muffled buzz, a rain of locust-like arrows poured down, and countless Yan soldiers fell to the ground and wailed.
War is cruel, the attacking side or the defender are rapidly consuming their lives between breaths, the swords and blood are intertwined into a tragic hellish scene, the severed arms and limbs are scattered in every corner of the battlefield, the corpses are piled up like mountains, and the rivers of blood slowly condense and trickle into the clear moat.
Whoosh!
Another column of soldiers carrying wooden boxes on their backs rushed forward, bowed their heads, lit the fuse, and a swarm of iron bullets ruthlessly leaked to the battlements of the city wall, as the defenders screamed and fell to the ground, the Yan soldiers carrying ladders rushed forward again, and the second wave of siege began.
Xiao Fan watched all this, and his eyebrows couldn't stop jumping.
"It can't go on like this! Jinan is dangerous! Xiao Fan realized the crisis.
Advanced weapons can destroy all buildings, and the city wall is no exception, the new weapons of the Yan army make Xiao Fan feel bad, if he continues to defend it like this, it will be a matter of time before Jinan City is broken.
The soldiers on the walls were all engaged in battle, and one fell, and soon another was replenished with another brandishing weapon.
Xiao Fan turned his head and was stunned to see Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shandong, standing beside him, looking at the battle situation in front of him with an excited face.
"Why did you get up? Aren't you a civil servant? Xiao Fan asked Tie Xuan curiously.
Tie Xuan stiffened his neck and said awe-inspiringly: "What is the division of military generals and civil officials to serve the country with loyalty?" Why can't the lower officials come up? ”
Xiao Fan gave a thumbs up: "There is a kind!" ”
As soon as he saw Tie Xuan, Xiao Fan's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of a very famous episode in the history of his previous life, which happened to take place in Zhu Di's rebellion, which happened to be in Jinan, and the person who invented this episode was this Shandong political envoy Tie Xuan.
I don't know if I can use this bridge in this life, but anyway, I should give it a try.
"Iron-sama, are you free?" Xiao Fan asked a nonsense.
"Lord Xiao, please eat?" Cheol-hyun is a very easy-going person.
"I don't need to eat for the time being, I want to ask Lord Tie to do something."
"Your Excellency, just give me orders."
Xiao Fan smiled, leaning into Tie Xuan's ear like this, like this.
Tie Hyun looked at him in confusion.
"Go ahead and do it, don't ask why, you'll find out later."
When the siege of the city was in full swing, a huge white background and black-edged banner suddenly appeared at the head of Jinan City, and several huge golden characters were embroidered on the flag: "Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet."
The font is very large, and it can be seen from miles away, fluttering slowly against the cold wind.
Zhu Di, who was far away in the Chinese army, was shocked when he saw the flag, and shouted loudly without thinking: "Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Retreat now! No one is allowed to show the sword, and the offender will be killed! ”
Wow!
With the sharp tapping sound of Jin Tie, the Yan soldiers retreated like a tide.
Zhu Di wiped the cold sweat on his head, stared at the flag at the head of the city, and was shocked indescribably.
"Xiao Fan, you ...... So despicable! Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said angrily.
As we all know, Zhu Di's military name is "Jing Nan", he claims to be in accordance with the will of Emperor Hongwu, with this signboard, the name of righteousness can barely stand, the world's scholars and people only say that it is a royal family matter, even if there is dissatisfaction, it is inconvenient to say more.
But Xiao Fan is too vicious, he actually played Zhu Yuanzhang's temple number and tablet in front of more than 100,000 people in the Yan army, in this era, filial piety is the foundation of governing the world, since you Zhu Di is under the banner of the side of Emperor Hongwu Qingjun, then now your father's tablet is standing at the head of Jinan, do you still dare to hit Jinan City? In ancient times, the rules of filial piety were very strict, and it was disrespectful to show the blade to the tablet of the deceased father, which could be regarded as the head of all evils, if the scholars of the world knew that Zhu Di was still attacking Jinan City regardless of his father's tablet, then even if Zhu Di ascended the throne in the future, he would inevitably be criticized by the scholars, and no one would recognize his status as the son of heaven.
This matter is so serious that after Zhu Di saw Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet, his first reaction was to withdraw his troops, and he didn't even dare to show his blade in front of the tablet.
The word filial piety occupies a lot of weight in the hearts of the people of the world, which can be seen from this.
So, Xiao Fan took a big advantage.
Standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet at the head of Jinan City, Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and laughed, laughed, and then shouted: "Zhu Di, Emperor Taizu Gao's tablet is in front, don't you come forward to bow?" Do you want the world to know that you are an unfilial son? ”
Zhu Di's face twitched a few times, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he stepped forward.
Dao Yan on the side grabbed Zhu Di and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, you can't worship!" If you worship, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies will be lost, and Jinan will not be able to do it! ”
Zhu Di said expressionlessly: "If I don't worship today, I can't get the throne of Jingshi!" ”
After that, Zhu Di endured the humiliation, straightened his clothes, stepped forward to push the golden mountain, poured the jade pillar, and bowed to the ground in front of more than 100,000 Yan soldiers, and said loudly: "Son, the fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, worship in front of his father's spirit!" ”
