Hongwu, Yongle, the two most powerful giants all had the intention of taking the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition army into their pockets, and the two glanced at each other and scolded secretly.

They are both ambitious people, how can they not see what they are thinking about each other.

"Bastard fourth."

Lao Zhu was indignant and extremely annoyed.

A Zhu Houzhao is lawless, and it's just a big rebellion, Zhu Di even dares to compete with him, it's just too annoying.

But this is also an inevitable thing, although Zhu Di is quite afraid of Lao Zhu, but he has been on the throne for a long time, and that fear has faded.

In the face of naked interests, the insignificant little fear was far from enough to make Zhu Di make concessions.

Emperor Hongwu started at the end of the micro and single-handedly created the Ming Empire, while the Emperor Yongle overwhelmed all countries and conquered all his life, and was by no means weaker than the Emperor Hongwu.

I am not weaker than others in my life.

Based on such a solipsistic psychology, Zhu Di dared to compete with Lao Zhu.

Fear, non-existent.

Father, the royal family has no affection!

Before the interests, the fathers and sons of ordinary people's families will turn against each other, not to mention the two fathers and sons who are both emperors and are not very close at all.

"With a commander-in-chief in charge of the Governor's War, our chances of victory will indeed be much higher."

"Zhu Houzhao's strength should not be underestimated, and the strength of the army is not inferior to ours, and the formation of a unified command is more conducive to the development of our military strength."

Zhu Biao, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Houxi and others did not have the fancy intestines of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, and they all agreed with the election of a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

They may not be proficient in military strategy, but they are not stupid and see the situation clearly.

The coalition army of the thirteen dynasties seems to have a large number of generals and a strong army, but in fact, the good and the bad are uneven, and the combat strength is different.

went to confront Zhu Houzhao's elite army with a plate of loose sand, and the result was known without thinking about it.

Aside from the newly recruited recruits, the standing army of the Taiwu Dynasty is not a soft persimmon.

Zhu Houzhao single-handedly formed the red-blooded dragoon army, known as the spear of Taiwu; Hu Dakui's Wolf Legion, Qi Jiguang's Zhenjun, Yue Fei's Zhenyue Army, and Li Jing's Wuwei Army

Coupled with the five military battalions, the Shenji battalion, the three thousand battalions, the Jinwuwei, the Yulinwei, the Yanshanwei, the Qishou Guard, the Fujunwei and other army configurations, it is by no means easy for them to win against Zhu Houzhao.

Therefore, it is quite necessary to elect a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the Governor of the Thirteen Dynasties, to manage all strategic affairs.

Everyone agreed to elect a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and the light in Lao Zhu and Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and the time had come to exert their personal means.

"Ahem, in your opinion, which general is the most suitable commander in chief of this coalition army?"

Lao Zhu coughed dryly twice, pretending to be calm.

His eyes frequently glanced at Xu Da, hoping that Xu Da would recommend himself and take the first step.

Among the many generals, in terms of qualifications and achievements, there are few who can compare to Xu Da, if Xu Da recommends himself as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, it is expected that no one will dare to object.

"In my opinion, I am very suitable for Zhang Fu."

"Since Zhang Fu followed me, whenever there is a big battle, he will participate, and his ability is obvious to all, and with him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he will definitely be able to twist the coalition forces into a rope and bring the combat strength of the coalition forces into full play."

did not give Lao Zhu the opportunity to seize the lead, Zhu Di did not hide his inner thoughts, and recommended Zhang Fu to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Zhang Fu, the undoubted first general of the Yongle Dynasty, even his father Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, who followed Zhu Di to fight against him, Qiu Fu is inferior to him.

Let Zhang Fu be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, no matter the emperors or the generals from various dynasties, they can't find a reason to oppose it.

"The British Duke is calm and serious, and he is well organized, and it is best for him to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."

Zhu Zhanji was the first to speak in response to Zhu Di's proposal.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Houxi's family all spoke out one after another, agreeing to let Zhang Fu serve as the commander-in-chief.

With Zhang Fu as the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, it is good for Zhu Di and good for the emperor of the entire Yongle lineage.

Unified the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was never the only one who had this ambition, but Zhu Houzhao was the first to expose his ambition and become a bird.

In order to prevent the birth of the second Zhu Houzhao, the authority of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces must not fall into the hands of Lao Zhu.

They are all smart people, and although some things are tacit, they are all very clear.

Lao Zhu's ambition is so great that he will never be under Zhu Houzhao, if Lao Zhu is given a chance to unify the Ming Dynasty, then their fate is absolutely worrying.

After all, in Lao Zhu's eyes, the emperors of the Yongle family were all rebellious, and they only got to the throne because they seized the orthodoxy of Zhu Biao.

Prejudice is an invisible wall, invisible to the eye, but real, separated from people's hearts.

The sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty have cooperated with each other for many years, and before Zhu Houzhao set off the unification war, although there was harmony on the surface, but the hearts of the people were separated from each other, who knew what they thought in their hearts.

All in all, the emperors of the Yongle family can't trust Lao Zhu, and they must be guarded against it, so as not to be yin.

Don't look at Lao Zhu's limelight was robbed by Zhu Houzhao, many policies of the Hongwu Dynasty followed Zhu Houzhao, but everyone didn't dare to underestimate Lao Zhu at all, and most of the people who underestimated Emperor Hongwu went to the underworld to report.

"Xu Da, the head of our Ming Dynasty founding generals, can be called the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, with the demeanor of the Dragon City flying generals, and also the ability to command the armies, all the generals here, who is stronger than Xu Da."

Seeing that Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others all supported Zhang Fu, Lao Zhu was a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled Xu Da is fierce boast, salivating over the authority of the commander-in-chief of the coalition army.

If he gets the command of the coalition forces, he can also learn from Zhu Houzhao to engage in a unified war, and the chances of victory are even higher than Zhu Houzhao.

Command the coalition army of the Thirteen Dynasties, first defeat Zhu Houzhao, and then turn his head to overthrow the emperors of the Yongle line, unify the entire Ming Dynasty, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and will eventually return to the embrace of the Hongwu line.

Ambition, Lao Zhu has never lacked this thing.

Of course, the struggle for the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces also has another meaning, self-preservation.

Old Zhu Ke has not forgotten that Zhu Houzhao is the descendant of Zhu Di, and he is the Yongle family with strong roots, if Zhu Houzhao persuaded Zhu Di and others by means to cause the coalition forces to defect, then everything would be over.

In order to keep their authority, Zhu Di and others will fight against Zhu Houzhao to the end, but the world is impermanent, who dares to say absolutely?

In order to recover the orthodoxy of the throne and to protect himself, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Lao Zhu had to fight.

Before the war began, he began to calculate, and it is no wonder that Zhu Houzhao dared to fight against the coalition forces of the Thirteen Dynasties with the strength of one dynasty.

The Hongwu line and the Yongle line, the suspicion and jealousy of each other, the common enemy Zhu Houzhao is still a descendant of the Yongle line, which leads to the inability of the Hongwu line and the Yongle line to fully trust each other.

And this is also one of the biggest reasons why they finally lost in the hands of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Di recommended the British Gong Zhang Fu, and Lao Zhu recommended Xu Da of the Great Wall, both of whom wanted to push their own people to the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and they were both bound to win and did not give in to each other.

In the end, at Zhu Biao's suggestion, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was served by Zhang Fu and Xu Da, so as to balance the contradiction between the Hongwu and Yongle lines.

Lan Yu and Zhao Fu respectively served as deputy commanders of the coalition forces, and the generals of each dynasty obeyed the arrangements of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

After the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is decided, the next step is to discuss tactics and strategies, which army will be responsible for the charge, and which army will be responsible for logistics support, all of which need to be planned in advance.

As for the tactical tactics, the gray prairie is endless, there are no mountains, no hills, no dangers, and the only tactic is to fight hard.

The purpose of Lao Zhu and others in choosing the battlefield on the gray prairie was also to prevent Zhu Houzhao from playing some shady tricks.
