Chapter 67: The Tragic Zhu Wenzheng

At that time, Chen Youliang raised an army of 600,000 troops, and the banner covered the sky and the sun. As the strongest force in the world, the army under Chen Youliang can be called the strongest and largest army on the earth at that time.

And Zhu Wenzheng at that time, what capital did he have? Only 20,000 soldiers, and a dilapidated Hongdu city.

Mo said that Zhu Yuanzhang's main force was dragged by Zhang Shicheng at that time, even if Lao Zhu personally tried his best to help at that time, he was not necessarily the opponent of Chen Youliang's army. Facing life and death, Lao Zhu, who was desperate, could only give Zhu Wenzheng an order that was equal to what he didn't say: Defend Hongdu and wait for rescue!

No one thought it could be fought. 600,000 vs. 20,000? How to keep?

Zhu Wenzheng gave the answer: can keep, work hard!

Chen Youliang would never have imagined that the Hongdu City that he thought he could go down in one day would become an endless bottomless pit: 600,000 troops attacked the Hongdu City for 85 days in a row, and they couldn't surpass the Hongdu City Wall even a single step!

Zhu Wenzheng did not avoid hardships and dangers, risked arrows and stones, and used his martial arts and amazing talents to turn this Hongdu city into a meat grinder to strangle Chen Youliang's army!

Eighty-five days later, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dragged down, had his hands freed, and Chen Youliang could only look at the Hongdu city wall that was still standing, as well as the mountain of soldiers and corpses that had been stacked as high as the city wall, and sighed emptyly!

After the defense of Hongdu, Zhu Yuanzhang's forces finally got rid of the biggest crisis since the army was raised, stood firm thoroughly, and finally defeated Chen Youliang in one fell swoop in the water battle of Poyang Lake. It can be said that without Zhu Wenzheng, there would be no Ming today. Zhu Wenzheng, great contribution!

However, he is such a peerless general, but like his nickname, he has a donkey-like temperament: because after the war, Zhu Yuanzhang took his kind words seriously and postponed his reward. He was angry for a while, and he actually communicated with Zhang Shicheng privately, secretly communicating with the song!

In the end, when he was locked up by Lao Zhu to Tongcheng to think about it, he didn't follow this breath for a while, and died of depression!

If it weren't for his donkey-like temperament, I am afraid that he would not have been able to make Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army sink into the sand under such difficult conditions as Hongdu. But it was also because of his donkey-like temperament that this peerless famous general ended up angry because he couldn't get angry for a while.

Lao Zhu just wanted to punish Zhu Wenzheng a little, punish him for thinking about it for a while, and that's it. Who knew that Zhu Wenzheng was so angry that he died, which also became a major heart disease in Lao Zhu's life: so he loved Zhu Shouqian (nicknamed Tiezhu), the son left by Zhu Wenzheng, and even made him and his sons the vassal king for the first time.

However, Zhu Shouqian did not appreciate it. In the face of Lao Zhu's love, he became more and more withdrawn, and he only felt that Lao Zhu was sorry for his father, so he rarely interacted on weekdays, and even Lao Zhu disdained him as king.

Lao Zhu is a strict father here in Zhu Suzhu's brothers, but in the face of this Zhu Tiezhu, he can't do anything to discipline him strictly: his father was suffocated to death because he wanted to discipline him. Tie Zhu's stubborn temper is the same as his father's, if he also has a stubborn temper, wouldn't Wenzheng be the queen?

For this Zhu Tiezhu, Lao Zhu called him a restraint, and in the end he had to let it go, let him come as he was happy. Even the emperor didn't dare to take care of it, and Zhu Tiezhu, who was undisciplined, became more and more obedient.

His father was so meritorious, but he died so badly, he felt that everyone in the world owed him, so he had always been tyrannical in Yingtianfu, making people hateful.

"Bold!" Seeing that the Haonan slaves in the Jingjiang Mansion were numerous, and they were about to push Zhu Su and a few people in the inner circle, Li Jinglong suddenly became anxious, and pulled out the sword decorated with many gems on his waist: "Don't make mistakes!" If you dare to step forward again, don't blame me for moving the guy! ”

Originally, the two sides were only restrained and only used their hands and feet, but seeing Li Jinglong draw his long sword first, Zhu Tiezhu was also anxious, and shouted: "If you dare to move the guy, don't I dare?" ”

"Come on! All for the lonely guys! ”

The young man's bloody nature and the resentment in his chest for his father's vain death, he couldn't even care about the identities of Zhu Su and the others.

Zhu Su saw that the scene was about to get out of control, his face suddenly turned white, and those Jingjiang Wangfu slaves took a bunch of sticks and chair legs out of nowhere, and a few of them also had knives. "This ...... It's a bit of a bad situation! There are a lot of people on the other side, if this is a crowd, how to parry? ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Li looked calm. "Jiujiang's family has a history of learning, and he has always been good at martial arts, so to deal with these house slaves who don't know martial arts, then he can't be ten?"

"With him as a pioneer, we can rest easy......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a Jingjiang Wangfu slave dancing a water and fire stick, splitting his head and pointing at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong was also brave, obviously surrounded by his own soldiers, but he took a few steps forward, wanting to dance the sword and fight himself. He pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and waved the sword in his right hand, and the sword flower flew lightly.

"It's a cheap law, and it really deserves to be the ...... of the disciple of the general" Zhu Su nodded and praised, and his heart was settled.

"Ahh Kill me too! ”

However, before Zhu Su's words fell, he only heard a miserable scream, and Li Jinglong was hit in the abdomen by the powerful slave with a stick, abandoned his sword and fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

“……”

As soon as the servants fought, the vanguard general of one side rushed into the street before the miscellaneous soldiers, and the people on both sides did not react for a while, and the originally tense scene fell into an embarrassing stalemate.

“…… Ahh Zhu Su almost fell off his eyes.

After a short period of stagnation, the Li Mansion's own soldiers first reacted. The two pro-soldiers rushed in with knives and snatched Li Jinglong, who had fallen to the ground, back into battle. The slaves of the Jingjiang Palace's mansion were furious, and the sticks and chairs were full of strange brains, which were attacked by the sea of people from all directions, and Li Jinglong, who was suddenly beaten, was defeated and retreated.

"Protect the four masters!" Several of the guards of the Gong Guard Division also shouted. Although they had not yet fully unsheathed their knives, more than half of them had been drawn. If anyone really dares to collide with the four little princes, they will definitely be killed on the spot.

"In this case, it's not okay not to declare your identity!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, wanting to shout loudly, but the two groups of people were in a mess, and hundreds of people shouted loudly to watch the excitement, Zhu Di shouted a few times, but no one could hear it clearly.

"No, you have to attract the attention of the crowd...... Zhu Su looked left and right, and found that not far behind him, there was a decorative flag standing by the tent, and he had an idea. Pulled Zhu Di to the flag, and together with Zhu Di, he waved the flag, and shouted while waving: "The four princes of the Zhu family are here, all stop!" ”

Zhu Rong Zhu Li and the guards immediately understood, and also shouted loudly: The four princes are here, all stop!

The shaking flags and several people shouted together, and finally calmed down the chaotic crowd.

The Haonu of Jingjiang Wangfu heard what they said clearly, and they became restrained and looked at each other: What's the situation? Why did these four on the other side also claim to be the prince?
