Chapter 497: Dangerous Moves

Hu Ye once said that he wanted to write everything he saw in the Ming Dynasty into his Ming Dynasty experience, isn't this the original intention of his decision to write such a book?

Now this book is very thick, two books to be exact, because one book can no longer be written.

Before, Hu Ye did write a lot of things, such as how shameless Zhu Di was, how ignorant Zhu Neng was, how brave Zhang Fu was, and even wrote about the lack of a Buddha bead from the Daoyan monk.

But a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang spread a big panic to the world and deceived everyone in the world, and finally when Hu Ye knew this lie, he still didn't write down Zhu Yuanzhang's lie in the end, which may be the respect for an old man.

So Hu Ye has broken his rules, and once there is a first time, there will be a second time, no, Hu Ye is thinking about whether to write down the matter of the Nanjing underpass.

So far, only he and Ruan An know about it, if he writes it down and lets others read it, it will be a big problem.

"It's really a matter of having one, and there is another."

Hu Ye still didn't write this matter down in the end, since history is a puzzle, let him be a puzzle.

Closing the record of what he saw and heard in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ye came to the window, looked at the weather outside for the New Year, and muttered, "Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen, this is what I promised your grandfather, you can do it yourself in the future." ”

"Ahh

In the palace, Zhu Yunwen suddenly sneezed.

"Who's talking about me again?" Zhu Yunwen rubbed his nose and didn't stop until his nose was red.

"Your Majesty, An Guogong is in Cui Junliang again." Qi Tai stepped forward and said.

"Military rations? Didn't you just allocate 50,000 stone of military rations last month? Why is it so quick to ask again. ”

Zhu Yunwen was a little annoyed, in the past year, Yun Zichen has been asking for military rations all the time, that is, once a month, and the treasury is about to be emptied.

"Your Majesty, Duke An Guo is now leading more than 200,000 horses. Blocking the Yan army in Shandong, it is more than 200,000 mouths, where is 50,000 stone of grain. Huang Zicheng muttered.

"How much grain is left in the treasury?"

Zhu Yunwen asked loudly.

"Back to the emperor, last year's war, except for the Jiangnan water towns, there was a lot of grain handed in, and there was no food in the north." Hubu Shangshu Wang Chun replied.

"I'm asking how much food is left!" Zhu Yunwen said angrily.

Wang Chun's face changed, and he said after a while, "Your Majesty, the surplus grain is less than 500,000 stones, and now it has just reached the end of the year. There are still many months to go before the next harvest, and if it is used, I am afraid it will be ......"

"Allocate 100,000 stones to An Guogong and tell him, this is the last military ration, if you can't pacify King Yan again, there will be no military rations in the future!"

Zhu Yunwen is very angry now, it's been three years! It's been three years! Zhu Di's rebellion was not only not put down, but the scope became larger and larger. Not only did he control Beiping, but he also controlled the nearby Hejian and Datong.

And this year, Yun Zichen could only guard Shandong and could not go out of the city to meet the enemy. Because once they get out of the city, whether it is heavy cavalry or quick-reaction infantry, in front of Zhu Di's Shenji battalion. There is no resistance at all.

Because now the Shenji Battalion has grown to a scale of 2,000 people, every time Zhu Di attacks the city and plunders the village, the Shenji Battalion takes the lead. A rain of bullets fell, and the city walls were cut off a lot, if it weren't for the high and thick walls in Shandong, they would have been taken down by Zhu Di a long time ago, and Yun Zichen and they wouldn't have been able to resist for a year at all.

But hundreds of thousands of people have to eat and drink, and Shandong and Henan have been in war again in the past two years, so Yun Zichen can't go to the local people to ask for food at all, so he can only ask Zhu Yunwen to send military rations over.

What's worse is that Zhu Di often sends hot air balloon troops, loaded with gunpowder, and if he finds a large number of troops in the south, he will blow them up with gunpowder. And it flew extremely high, so that Yun Zichen could only look at the ball and sigh.

So when Yun Zichen saw Zhu Yunwen's last holy decree, his face was ugly, these 100,000 stone grains couldn't last long at all, could it be that Zhu Yunwen would really not give food at that time? Now the people of Shandong don't have much food at home, do you want to go to the people to ask for it?

If there is no food to eat, how can the army fight? At that time, won't Zhu Di's army be able to pass through Shandong and go straight to Nanjing?

He didn't know what Zhu Yunwen thought, did he have doubts about himself? Do you think you're passively protesting? Do you think that with this little bit of people, you can wipe out Zhu Di?

He once had this strength, and he almost did it, but if it weren't for Zhu Yunwen sending the three princes to the army, Zhu Di would have become a pile of bones by now.

But now he can't, let alone eliminate Zhu Di's troops, even defending the city is a little difficult, if it weren't for Zhu Di's army is not much, but a crazy siege, the cities in Shandong can't be stopped at all.

Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan both knew Yun Zichen's difficulties, and began to find local tyrants and squires all over Shandong, asking them to pay for food, and they must let the army have enough to eat, so that they can resist Zhu Di's army.

However, this preparation was in vain, as they no longer had to deal with Zhu Di's army head-on.

In May of the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di finally gave up his plan to attack all parts of Shandong, but made a big detour, directly bypassing Jinan and Dongchang, and directly hitting Peixian and Xuzhou.

At the beginning, even Yun Zichen couldn't believe that Zhu Di was so bold to bypass their Shandong army and attack directly from Nanjing, didn't he know that there were still 100,000 defenders in Fengyang Mansion near Nanjing?

If they fought back and forth with Fengyang's remaining army, Zhu Di would not be able to die?

So when Yun Zichen first heard the news, he didn't believe it was true, thinking that it was Zhu Di's plan to attack the west and let him lead the army south to rescue, and the army took the opportunity to occupy Jinan.

But when Peixian and Xuzhou were taken by Zhu Di, Yun Zichen woke up, and the war for more than a year had already made him a little slow to react.

What kind of person is Zhu Di, is that the master who can follow the rules? Do conformists dare to rebel? With a team of more than 10,000 people, it has grown to 100,000 people, and if it weren't for the loss of troops in the first battle of Dongchang, the troops would have already fallen to the city of Nanjing.

Now I know that Jinan's defense is very strict, bypassing Jinan Dongchang, and going straight to Peixian and Xuzhou, I have to say that it is very bold, but the effect is also immediate.

At this time, Yun Zichen had to lead an army of 100,000 to the south, and when the left-behind army in Fengyang heard this, they also sent troops north, trying to fight Yun Zichen's army back and forth, wanting to wipe out Zhu Di in Xuzhou.

When Zhu Yunwen heard that Zhu Di's army had gone south to Xuzhou, his whole face turned green, and he began to order martial law in Nanjing, and ordered all the kings of the world to come to King Qin, but there were few vassal kings who listened to his orders.

Thinking about it, those vassal kings who listened to Zhu Yunwen's words either set themselves on fire and died, or they were raised in Nanjing like pigs.

If they send troops to help Zhu Yunwen defeat Zhu Di now, what will happen after that? Did you let Zhu Yunwen cut it again? They are not fools, now that Zhu Di has reached Xuzhou, which is only a few hundred miles away from Nanjing, the situation will soon become clear.

Once Zhu Di's army has an absolute advantage, they will respond to Zhu Di's call to punish Huang and clear the king's side. And once Zhu Di's army suffered heavy casualties and was already defeated, they could enter the army and put down the rebellion.

When Zhu Yunwen heard the news of these vassal kings, he directly ordered to cut off their numbers and let the commanders of various places control those vassal kings.

The first to come into contact with Zhu Di's army was the 100,000 left-behind troops in Fengyang, who had never had any experience in fighting with Zhu Di, and still according to the habit of fighting with the Mongols decades ago, first a volley of arrows, then a heavy cavalry charge, and finally the infantry harvested heads.

This set of tactics did not work against the Mongol heavy cavalry, and it was only effective when cleaning up those Mongol remnants.

Therefore, it was ineffective to deal with Zhu Di's army at all, and the two thousand Shenji battalions stood in front, and before the thousands of heavy cavalry rushed up, they had all fallen.

At this time, it was the turn of the Duoyan cavalry to make meritorious contributions, and the heavy armor, directly ignoring the arrows, rampaged through the army.

So on the first day of collision between the Fengyang garrison and Zhu Di's army, they were defeated, losing 20,000 people, but killing less than 100 people.

In this battle, the remaining troops in Fengyang were terrified, they thought that what they were facing was not people at all, but the devil who harvested people's heads.

When the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen sat down, could it be that Zhu Di's army was so powerful? Is Fengyang's remaining army so vulnerable?

After the battle was over, Yun Zichen's army rushed to Pei County, but it was blocked by Zhang Fu who stayed in Pei County, because now the imperial court threatens Zhu Di's army, and only Yun Zichen's army is this.

As long as Yun Zichen's army is blocked north of Pei County, Zhu Di can lead his army directly to Nanjing. After taking Nanjing, Yun Zichen's army will not be enough.

Pei County couldn't be attacked for a long time, Yun Zichen had no choice but to give up Pei County, learn from Zhu Di to make a big detour, go east to Linyi, go straight to Yangzhou, and prepare to return to Nanjing.

However, this trip took hundreds of miles, and the time was wasted on the road.

In the Nanjing crisis, Zhu Yunwen had to send a general to lead the remaining troops in Fengyang, because it was the last barrier in Nanjing, if the remaining 80,000 troops did nothing, then Zhu Di would really go straight to Nanjing.

However, now there are no generals available in the DPRK and China, only Li Jinglong, who was recalled a year ago, and now Zhu Yunwen said that it is impossible to use Li Jinglong, and it is already a great favor if he is not killed.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen had to use Xu Huizu, because of his relationship with Zhu Di, he had never dared to use it, but now he can't care so much. (To be continued......)
