Chapter 11 The overall situation is important [Seeking to Follow]

The Battle of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple shocked the entire Anqing Mansion.

There are all kinds of voices and rumors.

The government elites, wealthy families, more and more people want to find out accurate information under the complicated public opinion.

But An Qingwei and Jinyiwei were tightly sealed, except for the top ones, not many people knew the truth.

Actually, the truth doesn't matter.

What matters is the impact of this battle and whether it will cause turmoil in Anqing Province.

The more direct and important reason is whether it will shake the power and interests of those with vested interests.

At least, for the people in Anqing City, there is nothing to worry about this battle except for worrying about whether there will be another war.

Of course, if you learn a lot of information, whether it's true or not, there is a lot of material for casual conversation after dinner.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple after the end of World War I.

The news is urgent, and it will be transmitted to Tianfu quickly.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

The Eight Emperors were furious, and another batch of precious cultural relics suffered.

This battle report is much more tragic than the situation on that rainy night in Ying Tianfu!

A large amount of gunpowder, firearms, siege equipment, and thousands of people did not leave the traitor behind.

Even the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mao Erhu, was killed in battle!

"It's really cheap, that guy~"

Emperor Hongwu was extremely unhappy in his heart, this Mao Erhu is too wasteful!

Fortunately, he died early, otherwise Zhu Chongba was afraid that he would have killed him personally.

Since he took over the task of capturing Zhao Cheng, thousands of people have been killed and wounded, and nearly half of the thousands of people have been killed!

These substantial losses alone are incalculable.

If you add in the manpower and material resources wasted by Zhao Cheng, as well as the rebellion of Zhao Yong in the south, the weight of the loss cannot be calculated.

Even, this rebellious father and son also greatly affected the situation in the Ming Dynasty and directly shook the plan to unify the southwest.

It can be said that they are one of the culprits hindering the unification of the Xia people.

In this battle, Ma Erhu was killed, and the core elite of Jinyiwei also lost most of it.

Zhao Cheng's horror shocked Zhu Chongba again, and he even seriously doubted whether this guy was human.

Why is it so scary?

Angry all night, unable to sleep at night.

In the end, he was unwilling to compromise.

The tentacles of Zhao Yong, the marquis of Nanxiong in the south, have stretched out of Guangdong and touched Guangxi.

This is something that Emperor Hongwu absolutely cannot accept.

A small rebel, whose ambition has swelled to the point of wanting to occupy the two Guangzhous......

Simply that's not the case!

The father and son of the Zhao family must die.

This rebellion will definitely end.

Emperor Hongwu was extremely determined.

For this matter, he is even willing to use more than ten years of hard work since the founding of the country to do this thing.

It's just that pacifying Yungui and unifying the Xia clan is also an extremely important thing!

This puts us in a dilemma, no, a dilemma.

When the crown prince Zhu Biao learned the whole picture of this war, he was also as angry as the Eighth Emperor.

Especially when he learned that Mao Erhu arrested an innocent old man and threatened Zhao Cheng, he killed the old man in front of Zhao Cheng.

This incident made Zhu Biao even more angry!

That is, Mao Erhu died.

Otherwise, this is just one thing, he must use his power in the court, and he will kill Mao Erhu no matter what.

Zhu Biao knew very well that Zhao Cheng would kill again this time, not because he was besieged!

The real reason must be Mao Erhu's forbidden move!

Zhu Biao carefully studied Zhao Cheng and deduced some important information from all the available information.

He found that Zhao Cheng before he was imprisoned and Zhao Cheng after he was imprisoned were completely different personalities, as if they were a different person!

In the past, Zhao Cheng was a gentleman, no different from the second generation of Ying Tianfu.

But when he came out of the dungeon, he changed completely.

Zhao Cheng has mysterious powers and many unexplained secrets.

Even Zhu Biao often wonders if this Zhao Cheng is a god?!

Of course, he was also curious, what did Zhao Cheng encounter in the dungeon?

Could it be that God really helps?

These are just some of the contents of Zhu Biao's research.

More importantly, he analyzed all Zhao Cheng's actions after he killed out of the dungeon, and summed up many of Zhao Cheng's personalities.

He is not an indiscriminate killing of innocents, and every killing is done for a reason.

For example, the night he escaped from the dungeon, he killed the pursuers in order to escape for his life, and even Zhao Cheng left his hand that night.

Otherwise, he Zhu Biao would have no chance to live at all.

Another example is the massacre on a rainy night.

The fundamental reason is that Xiao Xiao killed Zhao Cheng's wife, which made him go crazy, and he killed him back and forth.

Including the most recent battle of the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

The reason behind it is that Mao Erhu killed an innocent old man.

……

The more Zhu Biao thought about it, the more irritable he became, and like his father, he couldn't sleep at night.

After hesitating in the room for a while, he finally decided to ask to see the old man.

He knew his father's temperament well, and guessed that he could not sleep, so he immediately set up and went to see him.

"Daddy~"

Seeing his father's sad appearance, Zhu Biao was not comfortable.

These days, the situation in Daming is very bad.

The situation in the south took a sharp turn as follows, the government was defeated one after another, and Guangdong completely fell;

The Northern Yuan was ready to move again, and from time to time went south to harass the border, trying to set off another war to destroy the Ming Dynasty;

The southwest has not yet been pacified, and there is turmoil along the southeast coast.

Now that Jinyiwei has been hit hard, Zhao Cheng once again went on a killing spree and escaped, which became the heart of the emperor who overwhelmed Zhu Chongba.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this unsuccessful son, Lao Zhu was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get!

"The situation in the south is urgent, and we can't waste more manpower and material resources."

Zhu Biao also knew that his old father wanted to beat him, but he still wanted to persuade him to let go of Zhao Cheng for the time being.

Now, it is almost impossible to take Zhao Cheng by force!

He had so many artifacts on his body that it was as if he were inexhaustible.

If you want to solve the problem of Zhao Cheng, you can only outwit it, and you can't rely on force.

At least until the rebellion in the south is eliminated and the king of Liang in Yunnan is not dead, no more troops can be mobilized to besiege him.

Facts have proven that it is impossible for hundreds or thousands of people to take Zhao Cheng.

If you want to take him by force, you can only mobilize more people.

But the current Ming Dynasty does not have the objective conditions to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to hunt down a person.

"Still want to intercede for that traitor? Lao Tzu can't kill you! ”

Zhu Chongba was very angry, and he picked up the guy next to him and prepared to fight.

"Dad, the child is not interceding for him, the child just wants his father to focus on the overall situation."

Zhu Biao knelt on the ground very simply, and the overall situation was important, but it made Emperor Hongwu lose the urge to train his son.

Yes, the big picture counts!

Because of this traitor, how many wrong things did he Zhu Chongba do?

Originally, the Southern rebellion would have ended soon.

Originally, the southwest army was ready, and if it pushed Yungui all the way, it would be able to dominate the world.

Originally, he also planned to launch a war of extermination against the Northern Yuan after the unification of the world, destroying the Mengyuan in one fell swoop and forever eliminating the troubles of the Central Plains.

Seeing his father's reaction, Zhu Biao understood that he was concerned about the overall situation, and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Dad, the overall situation is important, and pacifying Yungui is the top priority."

"Pingding Yungui, Pingding Yungui......"

Zhu Chongba muttered a few words, how could he not know the importance of pacifying Yungui!

It's just that all kinds of miscellaneous things are intertwined during this time, which also upsets him.

"Daddy~"

"We understand ......"

Zhu Chongba waved his hand and interrupted his son's words, "Tomorrow morning, the matter of Yungui will be put on the agenda,

After pacifying Yungui and Guizhou, the army marched eastward, and the Hunan army and the Jiangxi army went south together, and the troops were divided into three routes, pacifying the two Guangzhou. ”

After all, Emperor Hongwu is a figure who won the world in the beginning of a bowl, and the fate of countless people was decided in just a few words.

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In this way, he will have a lot of time and opportunities, and maybe he can squeeze some secrets out of Zhao Cheng.

As for taking Zhao Cheng for his own use, Zhu Biao didn't think about this matter anymore!

There are some things, once done, there is no turning back.

Zhu Biao should have figured it out a long time ago.

His father killed Zhao Cheng's family, how could Zhao Cheng still serve the Zhu family?

……

The Zhu family's father and son discussed it properly, but Chen Youliang surrendered to Hu Mei, but he couldn't sleep all night.

The sweeping monk of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is still a member of his family.

He had been paying attention to Zhao Cheng's information, and after learning that Zhao Cheng was heading west along the Yangtze River, he quickly contacted the sweeping monk.

Sweeping monk, formerly known as Chen Youliang's brother Zhang Bixian, he also has a brother named Zhang Dingbian.

Hu Meiqian instructed Zhang Bixian to make friends with Zhao Cheng and strive to pull this guy into the gang.

He may be able to do it one day!

It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't steal chickens, and I didn't even get the rice.

He even took his own life!

I don't know, the stupid monk was not exposed.

After thinking about it, it will not come to fruition.

Still couldn't hold his breath, he hurriedly wrote two letters and asked his henchmen to send them out overnight.

……

The next day, Zhu Chongba agreed with the courtiers on state affairs and preliminarily decided to pacify Yungui.

After retreating, he gave an order to arrest all the members of the Jinyi Guard who were unfavorable, and waited for the fate.

Mao Erhu, as the first commander of Jinyiwei, died without a whole body, but he was exempted from the punishment of life worse than death.

Emperor Hongwu reorganized the Jinyiwei again, and ordered Jiang to be the acting commander, directly responsible to Zhu Chongba, and reorganized the Jinyiwei.

After various defeats in the traitor Zhao Cheng incident, Zhu Chongba suspended the task of pursuing and killing Zhao Cheng, and the whole country played a game of chess to make overall arrangements.

In the north, Pingxi Hou Muying led the Shaanxi army to the north and took Yan Wang to brush up on experience.

In the south, Lan Yu continued to contain Zhao Yong, Zhu Liangzu and others.

In the southwest, Fu Youde and other generals recruited and trained troops to prepare for the pacification of Yungui.

As for the southeast, the Japanese have not yet become a climate, and they ordered all coastal areas to be more vigilant and put an end to the fornication of wealthy merchants along the coast with foreign countries.

……

Zhao Cheng didn't know all this, he was now recuperating from his injuries on a cottage.

That evening, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old sister-in-law Liang saw him by the stream, and after finding that he was still alive, she pulled her grandfather to save him.

In the end, he was brought back to the cottage by the old grandsons.

Under the treatment of the old gentleman, Zhao Cheng, who had been in a coma for two days, came to his senses.

Relying on the miracle medicine after a few hundred years, there is basically no major problem, but the body is still very weak and needs a period of rest and recuperation.

"Brother Qin, Aunt Wang has boiled hen soup, you drink it while it's hot."
