Chapter 3: Wang Zhen Must Die

"Never, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Fu hurriedly dissuaded: "Yexian's main force is only thirty miles away from our army's position, if we attack the Ara Department at this time, we will first send troops from the rear to form a flanking attack on our army, and at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

The generals also shook their heads secretly, seeing the emperor's serious attitude, they thought that the situation had improved, but under this order, they still did whatever they wanted, and they were in a mess!

Perhaps, this is another bad idea from Wang Zhen's gelding!

Hey, where did Wang Zhen go?

"What the Qing family said is very reasonable!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, pointed to the location of the first department on the map, and said, "However, after confirming the authenticity of the information first, we will decide to send troops, at least two hours later, that is to say, we have two hours to kill the Arabu!" ”

Zhang Fu couldn't help but be stunned, is it feasible to eat the other party's 30,000 horses in two hours?

Theoretically, it is feasible, because the Ming army has firearms, even if it cannot completely annihilate the enemy, as long as the water source is snatched in the hand, and then camped on the spot and fortifications are built, the purpose of this battle will be achieved.

However, this is only a theory, and if there is a real fight, no one knows what kind of changes will occur.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if there is a problem in any link, the original plan will be completely disrupted.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen has no bottom in his heart, but judging from the current situation, launching a blitzkrieg against the Arabu is the most effective means.

Otherwise, when people react and put on a defensive formation to fight a protracted battle with you, you will really have to wait for death.

Zhang Fu still had a lot of concerns, and said: "The soldiers are seriously short of water, and if they launch an attack now, I am afraid that their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." ”

Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the Fushui River on the map, and said: "The water source is in the hands of the enemy, kill them, and there will be water!" ”

"That'...... Is it necessary to develop a feasible battle plan first? ”

"The situation is urgent, how can there be time to make a plan?" Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "The Shenji Battalion takes the lead, and the cannon pulls out and hits the damn directly!" ”

Zhang Fu was helpless, so he had to ask, "When will you attack?" ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes showed incomparable perseverance, and he said: "Now, immediately, immediately!" ”

The soldiers hesitated, didn't they say that they would have a meeting to discuss, why were they suddenly about to attack?

Zhang Fu said again: "However, our army's grain and grass, baggage, as well as temporary camps, tents, ......."

"I don't want it all!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Give up all the baggage, and tell the soldiers that except for weapons, nothing else is allowed to be carried!" ”

These veterans are all meritorious service, and many of them have the experience of following Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, and they are not ambiguous at all when they start fighting, but they are still skeptical about the battle plan given by Zhu Qizhen, which is too rash.

If it could not be defeated, the Ming army would lose all its grain and grass, and the enemy would suffer from it on its back, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that the generals were still hesitating, Zhu Qizhen resolutely said: "If we delay for a moment now, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be attenuated by one point, and there is no time to think about it. ”

At this moment, he knows better than anyone else that he can't wait!

If they continue to wait, the soldiers will be even more desperate and their morale will fall to the bottom because the water problem is not solved.

In three days at most, a general attack will be launched first, and at that time, the history of the civil fort will repeat itself.

As for himself, he will become the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was captured, and he was driven by the pioneers and called the door everywhere.

Such a shame, if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would be able to come back to life.

At the moment, we can't delay a minute or a second, we must immediately go east to seek a decisive battle with the Arakbu, even if we can't win the battle, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu must never be called the son of heaven!

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion has always been retained, and the artillery bombarded it, and I don't believe that I can't kill him!

Seeing that the emperor was so determined, the fire of war in Zhang Fu's heart also ignited, and he took the lead in expressing his position: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Seeing this, the other generals also dispelled the doubts in their hearts, and said in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"Slave maid, go and pass the decree!"

At this time, a discordant voice came, and everyone looked sideways, and it turned out to be Wang Zhen, who was standing obediently in the corner of the big tent.

The generals were wondering, why didn't Wang Zhen participate in such an important meeting?

Also, why is his face swollen?

Even when I called everyone to a meeting just now, the tone was very friendly, and I even used the word "please".

It's incredible!

This person relied on the emperor's favor, covering the sky in the middle of the court, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were vying to cling to him, and his godson was all over the court and outside, and now he suddenly fell out of favor, which is really surprising.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly spoke: "Stop!" ”

Wang Zhen was excited, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Fan Zhong!"

"The last general!"

"Take Wang Zhen down!"

Fan Zhong looked surprised and replied: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Wang Zhen had already sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "The slave knows that she is wrong, please ask the emperor for mercy!" ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't look at him at all, and said in a cold tone: "The eunuch misled the country, today I will sacrifice your dog life to the flag and comfort the hundreds of thousands of loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty who died on the front line!" ”

"Spare your life, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhen's sweat was like rain, shaking like chaff, and until now he didn't understand why the emperor's attitude towards himself suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Zhang Fu couldn't hold back any longer, and fell to the ground, excited old tears.

It's really an eyes-opener, no, it's the emperor who opened his eyes, if it weren't for Wang Zhen's gelding, there would be no today's situation.

Before the army attacked, take Wang Zhen's head to sacrifice the flag, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be increased by at least 30%.

In this campaign, the generals were restrained by Wang Zhen everywhere, and they were already miserable, but at this time they finally saw hope, and they fell to the ground one after another, shouting long live!

Wang Zhen completely collapsed to the ground, although he didn't know why, but he knew very well in his heart that he was finished.

Fan Zhong did not hesitate, stepped forward and grabbed the back of Wang Zhen's neck, lifted it out, and ordered people to tie up the flowers and prepare the sacrificial flag.

The other eunuchs followed Wang Zhenyao on weekdays, but when they suddenly saw this situation, they were silent one by one, kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.

The generals breathed a bad breath in their hearts, and suddenly became excited, got up and retreated, and returned to the camp to prepare for battle.

Zhu Qizhen appointed two more people to stay, namely Jingyuan, the commander of the horses, and Zhang Yi, a bachelor of Hanlin.

"Captain Jingdu, how many cavalry are there in the formation?"

Jing Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "About three hundred." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Gather these three hundred cavalry, form an assault team, and leave it to you to command." ”

Jing Yuan secretly thought in his heart, in the battle of tens of thousands of people, the role of three hundred cavalry was minimal...... Isn't the emperor ready to run away and let himself be escorted?

The big war is coming, and the commander runs away, which is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the morale of the whole army.

But after thinking about it, the current situation is already like this, as long as the emperor is safe, even if the three major battalions are lost, the Ming Dynasty also has the capital to make a comeback.

When I returned to Beijing, I said that I strongly asked the emperor to go first, and it was a big deal that I would carry this black cauldron!

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen turned to Zhang Yi, a scholar from Hanlin, and said, "Zhang Qingjia, help me draft an edict." ”

Zhang Yi's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly said: "Please make an order from the emperor!" ”

Zhu Qizhen exhaled heavily, calmed down his mood, and then said solemnly: "If I die on the battlefield today, I will order Wang Keji to succeed the unification, and Yu Qian, the left attendant of the military department, will be the secretary of the military department, and the governor of the left capital will be added to the rank of commander of the army battalion and the Beijing division!" ”

Zhang Yi's expression immediately changed greatly, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

"I've made up my mind, let's make up my mind!"

Zhang Yi had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Jing Yuan again, and said with a solemn expression: "When the battle ahead, you immediately take three hundred cavalry to escort Zhang Qing's family to break through along the direction of the Yongding River, and you must send this edict back to Beijing!" ”

Jing Yuan immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister asks to stay on the front line!" ”

At this moment, he was annoyed in his heart, and he actually regarded the emperor as a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he really deserved to die!

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said slowly: "The foundation of the ancestors cannot be destroyed in my hands, as long as the Jingshi is still there, the Ming Dynasty is here, the two Qing families, take the order!" ”

Jing Yuan insisted: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the ministers are willing to desperately escort the emperor to break through!" ”

"I can't go!" Zhu Qizhen's eyes were resolute, and he said resolutely, "The big war is coming, I am the boss, and I am responsible for the 80,000 soldiers in front!" ”

"But ......"

"I have made up my mind, and the Qing family will not say anything more!"

Jing Yuan clenched his fists, slammed it on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Obey the order!" ”
