Chapter 152: The Legend Continues.
Of course, this is from the standpoint of the family.
But even if he stands on a truly hostile position, in the face of such an opponent, how should he face it?
How does a person who can write and martial arts, and has outstanding achievements in the corresponding field, deal with it?
So whether it is from the position of the family or the opponent, for Zhu Gaoxu, he has already lost at this time.
Not just on the battlefield, but on a psychological level.
He knew very well that in comparison, his eldest nephew was obviously more suitable to be the emperor than his second brother.
The Ming Dynasty can only truly prosper when it is in his hands.
Because this is a fact that has been verified.
And what about his second brother.
No matter what his second brother thinks or thinks, he is just a general who leads troops to fight on the battlefield after all.
It is still unknown whether the country will be well governed in the future.
And what he Zhu Gaosui can figure out, his second brother can naturally figure it out.
This is also the reason why the old man insisted on handing over the world to that kid.
Even, directly crossed the existence of the boss.
You must know that in history, when the crown prince was alive, reigned, and performed well, there was almost no such thing as handing over the throne that owned the world to the grandson.
The old man did this, and naturally he had a reason.
However, this truth is understood, but looking at the slightly lonely second brother in front of him, Zhu Gaosui's heart is not comfortable.
He knows very well what kind of person his second brother is.
Love face, like pomp, that's all on the surface.
The real Han King Zhu Gaoxu is actually a responsible person in his heart.
Whether it was taking care of their brothers since he was a child, or later pulling him back from the brink of death on the battlefield again and again.
For this reason, his second brother has been stabbed several times for him.
If his second brother was really just a brute, how could he do this.
It is said that the boss is good at hiding and seems to be submissive, but in fact, he has the world in his heart and has a lot of ideas.
But his second brother, why not.
In his bones, his second brother is a character who is born to stand in front of the family and shield them from the wind and rain.
And now he wants to be a mediocre and mediocre rich prince who has nothing to do all day long in the capital or fiefdom, how cruel it is for him.
As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, there is almost no shortage of things outside his body.
I want the little thing in my head.
But now his second child's only thought is now completely shattered.
As his own brother and the person who knows his second brother best, how can his third brother Zhu Gaosui not feel sorry for his second brother.
However, Zhu Gaoxu, the second child on the side, sighed for a moment before coming back to his senses.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing to dwell on.
Since the old man wants to act, it is natural for him to be a son to act with the old man.
And from the moment he Zhu Gaoxu did not follow the will of the imperial court and entered Beijing alone, he had to cooperate.
Even if he now knows that the old man is faking his death, he has to continue to do so.
With the results of the First Battle of Mobei began to spread throughout the world, after the Han King refused to follow the will to enter Beijing alone in Shanhaiguan, it seemed to be a bit chaotic, and it was gradually developing in a better direction.
But no matter how good the news is, no matter how good it is, it is only the beginning after all.
Next, it still depends on whether Zhu Zhanji can continue his shocking deeds.
Nuer Gandusi.
A baggage team is heading from south to north to deliver supplies outside the border.
Today's Guanwai, unlike later generations, the Northeast region has been vigorously developed.
For the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Northeast region was still in a relatively backward and primitive state.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, it was a bitter cold place.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty garrison stationed here still relied on the supply grain and grass transported by the imperial court.
Although it would have grown some of its own in the absence of war, the current scale is clearly not enough to meet its own needs.
Therefore, since the 450,000 Ming army led by the King of Han rebelled outside the Shanhai Pass, none of the materials and supplies transported rushed to the outside of the pass.
Although from the beginning of the rebellion to the present, the grain and grass of the Guanwai Nuer Gandu Division have not been too tight, but as time has passed, the supplies and materials from the imperial court have not been delivered, and the food problem will one day break out.
This is a question that the Ming court understands, and how can its local rebellious Jurchen tribes not be clear.
The territory of Nuer Gandusi is very large, and the population inhabited by it is not only a Jurchen tribe.
Mongols, Jurchens, Jirimi, Kuyi, Daur, and Han Chinese all have populations living here.
Most of them make a living from fishing.
Most of them had been appointed by the imperial court to take charge of the local guards, and it was the Jurchen tribes among them who were now openly rebelling.
And the people responsible for encircling and suppressing these rebellions were the Han army stationed here.
In terms of military strength, the Han army was superior in numbers.
But the difficulty is that the people of these Jurchen tribes will hide in the deep mountains and old forests at every turn.
In this case, it is almost impossible for the Han army to inflict much damage on them.
On the contrary, those of the Jurchen tribe will take advantage of this and continue to sabotage and sneak attack on the official roads built by the Ming court here.
This includes the entire territory of Nuergandus, and the rest of the city.
The number of these Jurchen tribes was not much, but the losses given to the Ming court were great.
According to the imperial court's vision, now was the time to deepen the ties between the territory and the Nuer Gandusi, promote ethnic integration, and deepen economic exchanges.
Even from the places along the way from Kannai, most of them have post stations and even inns.
There are also various merchants.
However, the situation that was finally created is now in vain because those Jurchen tribes are sabotaging and looting around the official road.
The number of these Jurchen tribes is not large, and it will not have any subversive impact on the entire Ming Dynasty.
On the battlefield, tens of thousands of cavalry can finish them all with a single charge.
But this Jurchen tribe in their early 20,000s easily broke the situation that the Ming Dynasty had maintained for many years.
Development is hard, destruction is simple.
So along the way, Zhu Zhanji has been speculating about what these people from the Jurchen tribe want to do?
Do you really want to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel?
Overthrow the Ming Dynasty?
Obviously, their size is too small, and the Ming Dynasty is now in chaos in the world, and it is far from being occupied by them.
So, what is their real purpose?
Only by understanding their purpose can we formulate corresponding countermeasures.
In Zhu Zhanji's view, the reason why those people of the Jurchen tribe dared to rebel at this time was for two reasons.
First, the Nuer Gandu Division has a vast territory, and although the Ming army has stationed 40,000 troops here, they are all located in various places.
Five or six thousand more, a few hundred.
Therefore, it is very difficult to gather all these forces.
Can't do it either.
Because once all these troops are transferred, it means that there is likely to be a vacuum in the strength of the Ming army in the local area where they are stationed, which will lead to more people standing up and rebelling.
The second is that the garrisons of the Ming army all over the country are necessary and cannot be fully deployed, and the troops that can be drawn and can be used at any time are now all outside the Shanhaiguan Pass and are led by the King of Han.
In this case, the Ming Dynasty was empty of troops.
Therefore, there is only one real opponent for them, and that is the strength of the Nuer Gandusi itself.
The only forces that can really pose a threat to them are a few hundred troops in a small area.
Although there must be more than this number of troops in the entire Nuer Gandu Division, it is not completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the Nuer Gandu Division.
It is similar to the state of alliance, except that everyone agrees that they belong to the same Ming Dynasty.
Many of the troops stationed in these garrisons were foreigners.
But in this case, how could the guards controlled by these foreign leaders help the Han people to quell the chaos.
And the only reason why these Jurchen tribesmen stood up to rebel is that they understand that once they continue to let Nu'er Gandusi exist according to the methods of the Ming Dynasty, it will be to cut meat with a blunt knife.
The only way to avoid this, or to leave a chance for the Jurchens to grow and grow, was to cut off the Ming Dynasty's control over the Nuer Gandusi region.
So that the whole slave Gandusi is in a state of confusion and no owner.
It's like the Mongols on the steppe.
The reason why they did not choose to occupy the entire Nuergandusi region, but cut off the Ming Dynasty's control over this place, was that their own power was too small.
Nuer Gandu Division, its territory is vast, and there are two or three provinces in the Ming Dynasty.
How can tens of thousands of people occupy them all.
Only through this method can you give yourself a time to develop and grow.
After Zhu Zhanji figured out what these Jurchen tribes were up to, there were many more ways to target them.
It was as if a supply team was transporting heavy supplies from south to north at the moment.
This is the trap that Zhu Zhanji laid for them.
Didn't you want to cut off the Ming Dynasty's de facto control over Nu'er Gandusi?
Okay, I'm going to deliver supplies now, do you want to do it?
If we want to do it, then well, let's get out there and have a good fight.
If you don't do it, you won't be able to achieve your original purpose.
In order to get them done as soon as possible, Zhu Zhanji took great pains.
Sometimes war is difficult to say, but simple is easy to say.
Especially against these armies who are good at hiding in Tibet.
As long as they can find exactly what they can't give up, this battle has already won more than half of the battle.
After having a concrete combat method, Zhu Zhanji naturally will not continue to delay.
So he didn't follow the predetermined plan and wait for Marbao's treasure fleet to arrive.
After all, his First World War in Mobei ended too quickly.
Even if Yang Shiqi has the ability to pacify the scourge of the Japanese in the coastal areas, it is not something that can be done in a short time.
Therefore, after he had more than 30,000 troops brought from Mobei under his command, the total number of troops was nearly 40,000.
Zhu Zhanji, who dared to fight with 20,000 Warat soldiers with 5,000 men, is even more fearless now.
In the old forests of the mountains, it was really the time for the musketeers to exert their might.
Because there, there is simply no way to use the bow and arrow.
There are covered objects everywhere, how can they attack from a distance?
As long as he can find them, Zhu Zhanji will have absolute confidence to destroy them.
As for the open area, it was better, and it saved him the trouble of constantly searching.
More than 30,000 are fully armed, who have just retired from Mobei, and they are all veterans who have fought with the old man for many years.
Its combat effectiveness will never be inferior to those of the Jurchen tribe.
Add 5,000 musketeers, and you can guess the outcome of this battle without fighting.
Just when Zhu Zhanji sent out a team disguised as transporting baggage came to an official road close to the mountain range, not surprisingly, countless warriors of the Jurchen tribe suddenly appeared between the mountains and forests on both sides.
They didn't know what they were shouting about, and they rushed down with their big knives.
Seeing this scene, the transport team, although everyone's faces showed nervousness, they were a little panicked.
For they know very well that their own army is not far away.
In an instant, something similar to a firework was ignited by the hundred households led by Na and launched into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the Jurchen soldiers who surrounded him didn't know the meaning, and still rushed over with ecstasy on their faces.
Especially when I saw the weight of that car, I was afraid that I would have been happy for a long time.
Although the people of these Jurchen tribes have lived here for generations, they are not immortals, and they will also worry about food.
Even in terms of the demand for food, it was more difficult to obtain than the common people in the Ming Dynasty.
Now they are hiding in the mountains and forests, and although it is difficult for them to be found and targeted by the Ming Dynasty army, it also makes it more difficult for them to obtain food.
It's very normal not to eat two or three meals a day.
Even if you have saved before, you can't stand the consumption of so many people day and night.
Now these supplies that have been transported to Nuer Gandusi and delivered to the Han army can be regarded as solving a big problem for them.
However.
Contrary to their expectations, as they began to approach the supply teams carrying supplies, they found that not only did they flee without panic, but even took out a weapon that they had never seen before.
Just as they were wondering, a gunshot rang out, and the fall of a soldier of the same clan pulled them back to reality.
But seeing that the team carrying supplies was not numerous, and his own men and horses were about to rush over and get close, the Jurchen general led by him did not give the order to escape, but continued to shout and charge.
Although many Jurchen soldiers died under the muskets of the Ming soldiers during the whole process, they were still rushed to the front because of the distance.
Once the soldiers of the two armies are brought together, the advantage of the musket is completely lost.
As a last resort, the soldiers of the Ming army also began to cooperate with each other to take out shields and spears from the baggage carts.
Gradually, a defensive formation was formed.
Don't ask how many enemies you can kill, just protect yourself.
The other side.
An army of 1,000 cavalry, which was leading the army to follow in the distance, saw a firework in the sky and immediately knew that the team disguised as transporting supplies in front of it had been attacked.
A whole team of musketeers and cavalry, under the leadership of the fifth old man, Zhu Zhanyuan, began to support the front.
Although in order to disguise it more alike, the distance between the two is deliberately far apart.
But they are all cavalry, and they are still very fast.
According to the standard set by Zhu Zhanji at the beginning, the distance between the two armies should be at least a quarter of an hour's foot.
Although they are cavalry, this distance still takes a lot of time.
And in this process, whether they can resist the surprise attack of the Jurchen tribe depends on the soldiers themselves.
Of course, in order to give them the possibility and hope of surviving, Zhu Zhanji gave an explanation in advance about those muskets, shields, spears, and specific tactics when facing the enemy.
Even some explosives packs were prepared for them.
After all, it is to lure the enemy, not to send them to death.
