Xu Huizu is Xu Da's eldest son, that is, Xu Miaoyin's own brother, Zhu Gaochi has to call him uncle when he sees him, with this relationship, Zhu Yunwen has to be cautious.

But now Zhu Yunwen has no choice, his hole card Yun Zichen has been sent out for more than two years, not only did not exterminate King Yan, but let King Yan hit Xuzhou, and now they are all starting to attack Nanjing.

Xu Huizu has followed Xu Da since he was a child, and was deeply influenced by his father, and he is also a general, after being sent to Fengyang by Zhu Yunwen, he began to reorganize the army, and the team of 80,000 people is the last barrier in Nanjing, without these 80,000 people, Zhu Di can go directly to Nanjing.

Xu Huizu is not a fool, he knows what Zhu Yunwen is not using him for, but he has never been double-minded. As the saying goes, a daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled. Xu Miaoyin is now Zhu Di's wife, although she is a brother and sister with him, but since Zhu Di chose to rebel, he doesn't have to treat them as relatives, this is the way he learned to deal with things from his father.

So when Xu Huizu arrived in Fengyang, he didn't have Zhu Di as a relative, just a traitor, and the order he gave to the local soldiers was that if he could capture Zhu Di alive, he would try to capture him alive, and if he couldn't be captured alive, he could die.

When Zhu Di heard that his eldest brother had arrived opposite him and was training an army of 80,000 to capture him alive, the expression on his face was wonderful.

To be honest, his eldest brother is a real person, and he is too real, don't you know that his father died because of Zhu Yunwen's grandfather? Why are you going against us now?

If someone else came to stop him, Zhu Di would not hesitate to give a killing order, but this was his eldest brother, his wife's own brother, even if he wanted to kill, his wife would not let him kill. If he destroys Xu Huizu, it is estimated that after he goes back, Xu Miaoyin will never let him go.

According to Xu Miaoyin's temper. will not clean up Zhu Di, but will only torture himself.

Xu Miaoyin has followed him all his life and suffered too much, and Zhu Di doesn't want Xu Miaoyin to be sad, so this Xu Huizu must not be killed.

But if you want to attack Nanjing, you must break the 80,000 army in Fengyang.

Now Zhu Di suddenly fell into the predicament of Zhu Yunwen at the beginning, wanting to break the army, but not being able to kill, what a dilemma.

This question is naturally left to Zhang Yu and others. So Zhu Di's army left a strange rule, which could defeat Xu Huizu's army, but could not kill Xu Huizu.

Zhang Yu and the others all knew who Xu Huizu was, and they also knew how difficult it was for Zhu Di to give this order.

To be honest, it was not easy to get this far.

After Zhu Di's army gained a foothold in Xuzhou, it launched another attack on Fengyang.

This time, Fengyang's left-behind army learned the lesson of the previous time and did not go out of the city to face the battle, so the Shenji Battalion was not of much use.

They thought that in this way, they would be able to keep Zhu Di's army out. But they were wrong, because there was no Divine Machine Battalion, and there were overwhelming hot air balloons, and barrels of gunpowder began to land on the city. Leave an indelible mark on the city walls.

There was also the fierce fire oil, the water was poured more and more, and in the end, many soldiers were burned to death and blown up, and Zhu Di attacked the city for the first time. blew the walls of Fengyang City one foot lower.

Now Fengyang's army understands how difficult it is for Yun Zichen's team to be able to block the attack of Zhu Di's army for a year.

The offensive continues. When Yun Zichen heard that Zhu Di was attacking Fengyang, he changed his mind and did not go to Yangzhou, but went straight to Fengyang, flanked back and forth, and wiped out Zhu Di's army in Fengyang.

When Zhu Di knew that Yun Zichen's army was coming, he knew that the real war was about to begin, that is, the time to decide his fate.

This time, he overrode public opinion and led the army to Nanjing, just to end the battle as much as possible, because his army could not afford to drag on, Zhu Yunwen had the entire empire as a backing, he didn't, all he had was Beiping, whether it was military pay or military food, in the past few years, Beiping has been Yan zhòng's overdraft.

If this fight continues, it is estimated that even the people of Beiping will not be able to do it.

Therefore, Zhu Di will lead the army to bypass Shandong, capture Xuzhou as a springboard, and take Nanjing directly.

God is also helping him, in addition to the 30,000 guards in Nanjing, there are only 100,000 left-behind troops in Fengyang, he doesn't care about these people at all, and the real threat is Yun Zichen's army.

So since Yun Zichen gave up Peixian and switched to Linyi, Zhu Di expected that there would be such a day, he was going to fight such a decisive battle! Just like the Battle of Jiaohe, as long as Yun Zichen's army is wiped out in this battle, the imperial court will no longer have a new force, and Nanjing will become a lonely city!

So when Yun Zichen's army gathered in Fengyang, Zhu Di also attacked Fengyang City on the one hand, and dealt with Yun Zichen's army on the other, and for this reason, Zhang Fu, who was deployed in Pei County, fell over and set up an ambush in a place called Lingbi.

Even if Yun Zichen knew that he would definitely be ambushed when he went, he had to go, once Zhu Di broke through Fengyang, he would be able to go straight to Nanjing, and when Nanjing was in danger, how would his army deal with itself? Could it be that now the 100,000 army will go back to defend Nanjing? Let Fengyang's 80,000 troops be wiped out by Zhu Di?

This is not what Yun Zichen wants to see, nor is it what Xu Huizu wants to see, let alone what Zhu Yunwen wants to see, all of them want to annihilate Zhu Di in Fengyang in one fell swoop.

Therefore, this final decisive battle is slowly approaching, and both sides that do not enter the war are nervous, and the common people of Nanjing are also nervous, knowing that a major war is about to break out.

In fact, they don't care who is the emperor, they only care about how their lives are, so when the big war comes, they also have to prepare, if Zhu Di wins and breaks through Nanjing City, will they slaughter the city? Will they survive then? There are two acres of land at home, I don't know if that field is still not my own after this big war?

Therefore, the problems that ordinary people think about are different from those of officials.

And the way businessmen think is different from ordinary people, they don't have land, some are just wealth, so what they are worried about is that if Zhu Di wins, will their property be confiscated? If Zhu Yunwen wins, will he take their money to the treasury because of the emptiness of the treasury?

Therefore, the more money people have, the more worried they are, and the most worried person in the entire Nanjing City is probably He Bing.

No, this day this goods arrived at the Nameless Mansion again, he was still a little uneasy about the method that Hu Ye told him last time, and now he is going to come to Hu Ye again to ask for a prescription to see how he can lose the least in the coming days.

"Hu Gongzi, you can't ignore me!" He Bing cried with a sad face, and Lai didn't leave in front of Hu Ye.

"Didn't Lao Tzu help you! What else do you want! ”

Hu Ye gave He Bing a kick angrily, but this thing was too fat to kick it at all.

"Master Hu, I did what you said! In the siege of Beiping in the second year of Jianwen, I asked me to put a granary in the shops in Beiping, and distributed 50,000 stones for free, but King Yan did not thank him at all afterwards. ”

"In the battle of Dongchang in the third year of Jianwen, the people along the way suffered greatly, especially the Jiaohe River north of Dongchang, which has not been able to live or grow food until now. So I ordered the shops in Dongchang and Dezhou to put grain again, and the local people lived, and there was more grain than the local government. ”

"But after the Battle of Dongchang, the local government not only did not praise me, but also said that I intended to take advantage of the chaos to win the hearts of the people, intending to rebel, echoing Zhu Di from afar. O conscience of heaven and earth! I'm doing things for the people! Later, it cost me a full 50,000 taels of silver to unclog the joints, so that the hat of rebellion was not buckled on my head. What do you say I'm trying to do, your method doesn't do anything except make me lose a lot! He Bing roared, because of Hu Ye's words, he had lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the past few years, more than other merchants combined.

There are many businessmen behind him who say that he is a fool, in the war era, not only does not collect money, but scatters money, isn't this the way to die? In the past, I was convinced that Hu Ye would return it, but now that Zhu Di has come to Nanjing, if he doesn't make a decision, it will be difficult to do it later.

"Let me ask you, do you businessmen pay attention to short-term interests or long-term interests?" Hu Ye asked.

"Nature is long-term benefit."

"Isn't that the end of it, you have some losses now, but when the war subsides, and the people are settled, will they remember which side of the army won? But they will remember that they received favors from others during the war, and to be honest, you are spending money on advertising, which costs a lot and lasts for a long time, but the benefits are also huge. Hu Ye shook his head, and then said, "There is a good saying, no treachery is not business, so I don't care what you plan in your heart, it's nothing more than interests, I am sending the future benefits to you, I just hope you remember this sentence and don't fall into this strange circle." ”

"Okay, that's all it takes, whether you want to lose a little less, or you want to make more money, you can do it yourself." Hu Ye whistled at Xiao Qiang, and then Xiao Qiang ran up fiercely and grinned at He Bing.

Looking at Xiao Qiang, He Bing was so frightened that he trembled, even if this thing fought with a fierce tiger, it might not be left behind.

"Hu Gongzi, I will believe you once, if it is really as you said in the future, I He Bing will be regarded as a good person who is willing to give, let the sentence of no treachery and no business go to hell!" He Bing faced Xiao Qiang's drive, arched his hand towards Hu Ye, and then retreated.

"No treachery, no business? Can you let this sentence go to hell? Hu Ye shook his head, what the businessman values is nothing more than interests, but he has kindness in his heart, he just wants to have more good deeds and less treacherous deeds for the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

After all, it is much easier to guide one person than to lead a group of people.

After He Bing left, Hu Ye also fell silent, everyone knew that the war was coming, and he naturally knew that the difference was that he knew the outcome of the war.

It's May now, and in a month, Zhu Di's army will be in the city, and Emperor Zhu Yunwen's days are coming to an end, and he also has some things to deal with. (To be continued......)
