"They are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and others are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will not let more people suffer misfortune for your own selfish desires, or to protect them."

Lu Xun struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally did not agree to help Zhu Di.

"Do you think helping me is aiding abuse?" Zhu Di asked.

"If you didn't have soldiers at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty would still be a prosperous scene, there would not be so many dead and injured soldiers, and the people would be able to sow seeds on time and have a good harvest. In the past two years of war, the life of the people has been miserable, and the emperor has to add the taxes that have just been lowered from the throne in order to increase the income of the national treasury, and the people have to pay more military rations, and there will be many more people along the way. Lu Xun yelled.

"Haha, there is a good saying, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, I admit that I do have some selfish intentions when I raise troops. But I don't agree with you in the slightest, if everyone just wants to live in the moment, then his life is over. At that time, if my father had been content with the status quo and had been a beggar for the rest of his life, perhaps there would not have been the current Ming Dynasty, and perhaps we would still be living under the oppression of the Mongols. ”

"It is true that at the beginning of the rebellion of our people, too many people died, but in the end we were victorious and drove the Mongols back to their homeland. If, as you say, we should not continue to submit to the Mongols, so that there would not be so many casualties? Zhu Di asked coldly.

"You... You're a strong word! I'm talking about your relationship with the imperial court, and you're talking about the relationship between my Han and the Mongols, and there is no connection at all! Lu Xun was angry with Zhu Di's logic, so he said loudly.

"In my opinion, there is no difference, if I surrender, my efforts in Beiping over the years will be in vain, and the lives of the people of Beiping will once again fall into misery. Do you think they will spare the people who are faithful to me? The people of Kaifeng are examples, and the nameless mass graves outside Kaifeng are proof! Zhu Di roared, "Originally, I didn't think about going south, I just wanted to keep my one-third of an acre of land, so that the people of Beiping could live a stable and prosperous life." ”

"But someone always forced me to arrest my son! If I hadn't pretended to be crazy and stupid, maybe I'd already be a white-haired person by now! In the end, he sent a commander to harvest my head, do you think I can not rise up and resist? Later, he sent Geng Bingwen's 130,000 army to exterminate him, wasn't the emperor deceived! Zhu Di saw that Lu Xun's psychological defense line had been a little lax, so he continued. So what I want to do is not only to hold this acre and three points of land, what I want to do is the heavy task entrusted to me by the emperor, Fengtian Jingjing! Sweep away the traitors around the emperor. ”

"Are you saying that our dean is also a traitor!" Lu Xun stared at Zhu Di viciously.

"Nope! He is not a traitor, he was only forced by the emperor to propose to cut the domain, and..."

"And what?"

"And I was able to get out of Dongchang this time, because of the help of your dean."

"Impossible!" Lu Xun shook his head, he couldn't believe that Hu Ye was with Zhu Di.

"Don't believe me? Do you know King An, King Han, and King Shen? This time, it was they who let go of the exit of the army and let our army break through. ”

"They..."

"They were recommended by your dean. Don't you believe it yet? Zhu Di said.

"And when your dean came down the mountain, he was in my army, and then I recommended him to Nanjing." Zhu Di added.

Zhu Di saw that Lu Xun had been shaken. made a promise and said, "I said that I raised troops to sweep away the traitors around the emperor. Otherwise, if that group of traitorous ministers is allowed to take charge, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be a miasma, burying the great rivers and mountains left by the emperor! ”

"What you say is true! Are you really just Fengtianjing? Lu Xun asked Zhu Di loudly.

Zhu Di smiled secretly. This Lu Xun and Sun Hang both grew up in the academy, and they have never experienced the world at all, as long as they give him a guarantee, when he understands it in the future and knows that he is lying to them, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

"Yes, my army is called the Jingnan Army, but now it is besieged in Beiping, if my Beiping is captured, I am afraid that there is a danger of slaughtering the city. What's more, the court immediately became a traitor, and there was no peace in the society! Pity the eternal inheritance left by my father. Zhu Di's face showed vicissitudes, and Lu Xun's eyes flickered.

Liu Sheng behind Zhu Di didn't speak, he naturally understood Zhu Di's thoughts, Fengtian Jing? Then why is there a storage zài of the Shenji Battalion? However, he wouldn't break it, just watched Zhu Di take Lu Xun into the ditch.

"I'll defend Beiping for you! But you have to promise me! Even if you succeed in the future, you can only be appeased! There must be no rebellion! You can't hurt my dean! Lu Xun said loudly.

"This is natural, I swear in the name of my Yan King, even if I occupy the palace, I will never take the throne of the emperor! It's just to kill the traitors in the court! Zhu Di swore loudly.

At this time, the army outside the city also began to attack, this time the enemy's attack was obviously much more fierce than Li Jinglong's army, and it was not as blind as Li Jinglong's army, but first attacked with long-range tools, and let the Eight Bull Crossbow shoot the thick arrows on the city wall first, in preparation for the siege ladder later.

"I hope you remember your oath." Lu Xun took a deep look at Zhu Di, and then went directly down the city wall.

"What is he going to do?" Liu Sheng saw that Lu Xun went directly down the city wall, so he asked Zhu Di curiously.

Zhu Di did not stop Lu Xun, since he has been fooled by his own success now, not to mention the counterattack on Yun Zichen, but there is no problem in successfully holding Beiping.

I saw Lu Xun come to the city gate and let the complicated wooden piles be removed.

Those soldiers looked at Zhu Di with a flurry of words, if these wooden stakes were removed, wouldn't the city gate open as soon as the people outside hit it?

Zhu Di nodded at the soldiers, he wanted to see what Lu Xun was going to do.

After a while, all the stakes behind the gate had been removed, and the sound of arrows outside the gate could now be heard.

After that, Lu Xun looked behind the city gate, then picked up a piece of wood and scratched it on the ground for a while, and after a while, he stood up.

Then he found a wooden ladder, drew several lines behind the city gate, and asked the soldiers to attach large planks to those lines.

In the end, Lu Xun drew four more points on the two city gates, and asked people to use four wooden stakes to support those four points.

"Alright, call it a day." Lu Xun clapped his palms and prepared to transfer his position.

"What? Don't you need stakes anymore? Will the four stakes be able to block the impact from the outside? Liu Sheng looked at the four wooden stakes behind the city gate in surprise, which had previously supported dozens of wooden stakes horizontally and vertically to block the enemy's frantic impact.

Now there are four wooden stakes, how can it be blocked.

"There is a saying called four or two thousand pounds, and our dean said that as long as he is given a fulcrum, he can lift the whole earth. Actually, if I can nail two doors together, I can use only one stake, but in order to be able to quickly open the gate from the inside, I did not nail the two gates together, I can only use four stakes to fix them, as long as the stakes are removed, you can go out of the city. Lu Xun said slowly.

"Is that true?" Zhu Di's face was full of shock, when he was not in Beiping, he heard that Zhu Gaochi blocked the back of the city gate with sandbags in order to ensure the safety of the city gate.

If I had known this, I would have had a lot more time.

"Of course it's true, I tried it when I was in Mr. Nguyen's architecture class. And if it wasn't for the dean who didn't let me attack the city, I only needed to find five points outside the Dongzhi Gate, and then let people break through, and in the end, I didn't need to attack the city gate at all, and I could crash the city wall directly. ”

"What! You can smash the city wall directly! ”

Zhu Di almost jumped up when he heard this, he didn't have the demeanor of the prince at all, this is too appalling, the city wall of Beiping is more than one zhang thick, and in some places there are two zhang, which is destined to want to enter Beiping, in addition to breaking through the city gate, there is also climbing over the wall to enter, never thought that the city wall could be directly smashed, isn't that a strong man who only appeared in the legend?

"What's all the fuss about." Lu Xun was very proud, this was what he learned in the academy, he used to think it was useless, but now it seems that it is of great use.

"What you learned in the academy? Is there any other student union with this? Zhu Di felt that his mouth was very bitter.

"This doesn't seem to be there yet, except for the dean, me, and Mr. Ruan, no one else knows about it, because this thing is too complicated, and even I can't guarantee that it will succeed this time." Lu Xun replied.

"That's good, that's good."

Zhu Di felt very happy, fortunately, Hu Ye sent this student over, if this goods were outside, in Yun Zichen's team, maybe they would really smash the walls of Beiping City.

"By the way, is there anything else around that could be improved?" Zhu Di asked again, he didn't want any hidden dangers in Beiping.

"I didn't find this, but if I did, I would tell you. It's a pity that I'm on the inside, and if I'm outside, there are many ways to break it. Lu Xun said with a sigh.

Zhu Di's back was a little cold, it seems that not only Hu Ye himself is a freak, but the students he teaches are also freaks, it seems that in the future, he will have to take Lu Xun with him, and how many fewer people will die.

With Lu Xun's help, Beiping is also more stable, all the city walls have been inspected by Lu Xun, and each gate has been renovated to ensure that it can attack quickly and that it is difficult to break outside.

And when the locals stopped attacking, Zhu Di dug some small pits outside the city gate under Lu Xun's construction, and then buried a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder inside, once the army came, the pressure was too great, and the gunpowder inside the bamboo tube would naturally explode.

So in this case, although Yun Zichen's army attacked fiercely, it still couldn't break through Beiping City. (To be continued......)
