Chapter 357: Lao Zhu's Scheme
"Zhang Yu?" Looking up and down at the unremarkable man in front of him, Zhu Lao Wu was surprised.
"You're actually in the army of the children?"
"Uh...... Strictly speaking, the last general was originally in the army of Hung Boyan Timur. The last general was one of the captives that His Highness released out of the city. Zhang Yu was uncomfortable by Zhu Su's eyes, and even wondered if there was something wrong with his dress. Peeked around him, but he didn't show anything that shouldn't be revealed except for the blood stains all over his body, so he was slightly relieved.
"It was Zhang Yu who led the crowd to rise up in the camp last night, and we had a chance to defeat the Yuan army." Zhu Di admired Zhang Yu very much, and the appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Yu was almost undisguised. "Such brave and resourceful generals, the Yuan army actually abandoned them. It really deserves to be defeated. ”
"His Royal Highness King Yan has praised it." Even if Zhu Di praised Zhang Yu like this, Zhang Yu still maintained humility. "Thanks to His Royal Highness King Wu for awakening our conscience and letting me see what the Yuan people have done, I can make up my mind not to continue to help and commit abuse."
Zhu Su didn't answer, just continued to look at this Zhang Yu. Zhu Di finally sensed that something was wrong, pulled Zhu Su's sleeve and pulled him aside: "Fifth brother, could it be that you knew this Zhang Yu before?" ”
Zhu Su rolled his eyes. Zhang Yuhey, how could you not know each other! In the future, the famous general of Jingnan, the king of the Daming River, fought his life to save Zhu Di from the army at the time of Jingjing. His son Zhang Fu was even the Duke of England, and he fought in the south and north all his life, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the evening festival is not guaranteed, and he was killed in the battle of Tumubao by Zhu Qizhen, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty.
The Zhang family is loyal and martyrful, and can be called the top noble general of the Ming Dynasty along with the Xu family. If he knew that Zhang Yu was among those captives at that time, he Zhu Su probably wouldn't have let these captives go at that time. How can the mere Guantong and the 50,000 yuan army compare to Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu, the seeds of the two future famous generals of the Ming Dynasty?
But fortunately, with Zhang Yu's mediation in the prisoner camp, and Zhu Di's quick decision, they were able to take this Yuan army so easily.
Zhu Su looked at Zhu Di and Zhang Yu, who looked puzzled in the distance, and said a word of injustice in his heart. Then told Zhu Di: "This jade is one of the heroes who made the greatest contribution when you were 'in trouble' in history." Fourth brother, do you think I know each other? ”
"Huh?" Zhu Laosi was stupid. This jade turned out to be under his own command in the original history? He was happy and stunned at the same time, if this is the case, I am afraid that he really can't include Zhang Yu under his command.
Otherwise, the old man of his own family saw it in his eyes and found that he was collecting these "old ministers of Jingjing" according to the trajectory of history, and he still had to be vigilant?
Maybe, maybe he will directly order Zhang Yu to be cut.
Looking at Zhu Di, who was a little frustrated, Zhu Su patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Fourth brother doesn't have to be too disappointed. This person is indeed a general, but you shouldn't take the initiative to ask your father for Zhang Yu. ”
"Zhang Yu was born as a general, and the most appropriate placement for him was to merge into the guard near Yandi. Perhaps, in the future, it will be under your command? ”
Among the princes, except for the crown prince and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, who has already married, the others are not yet equipped with personal guards. Because Zhu Su had lived alone in the Huangzhuang outside the city, he was exceptionally equipped with a personal guard. Moreover, according to the Ming system, the names "Qin Wangwei" and "Wu Wangwei" are actually only temporary titles.
The armed forces under the command of the king of the Ming Dynasty should be the guards within the scope of his fiefdom. For example, Zhu Su's "Wu Wangwei", in history, when Zhu Su changed the title of King of Zhou to Kaifeng, his personal guard Di Meng and others would take advantage of the situation to directly take charge of the Kaifeng Wei military power, and no longer called "Wang Wei".
If Zhang Yu happened to be incorporated into the guards of "Yanshan Left Guard" or "Yanshan Right Guard", then it is very likely that he will still be under the command of Zhu Di in the future.
“…… Well. Zhu Di nodded. He and Zhang Yu hit it off at first sight, and he really hoped that there would be a useful general like Zhang Yu under his command in the future. But Lao Wu's opinion is not unreasonable. At this moment, Zhu Di only felt that because he sat on the throne in the original history, he was trembling and restraining himself, which was really aggrieved.
"Everything is to blame for that good nephew Zhu Yunwen." Zhu Di thought indignantly.
"By the way, I heard that Zhang Dingbian also participated in this battle? Where is he? Zhu Su remembered something and asked Zhu Di.
"Zhang Jushi and Brother Chang took people to chase and kill the remnants of the Yuan army." Zhu Di said. "By the way, he said that when he was wandering outside the gate, he heard a hundred thousand urgent news and wanted to come to Chen and you."
"100,000 urgent news?" Zhu Lao Wu frowned. Guannai has been stirred into a pot of porridge by Naha, so there won't be anything big outside the Guan, right?
In the past few days, in fact, he has also been analyzing why the current historical progress has deviated, and why Nahachu has moved into the city against history, and has already figured out some thoughts.
It was precisely because he revealed the future and let Daming know the relationship between Yunnan and reality in advance, so that Lao Zhu made up his mind to raid Yunnan. Naha was originally with the king of Liang in Yunnan, one south and one north, jointly threatening the rule of the Ming Pass, and under the cold of the lips and teeth, Naha came out like this to contain the Ming forces for the king of Yuan Liang in Yunnan.
However, with the power of Liaodong alone, Naha could not stop the Ming Dynasty's attack on Yunnan. Even though Naha took the Shanhaiguan Pass and isolated the Dingliaowei from the Shanhaiguan, there were still more than 100,000 Ming troops in Jizhen, and I am afraid that no one would think that Nahachu could sweep the north. At most, it is just to let the north of the Ming Dynasty suffer another heavy blow.
Sure enough, Naha sent tens of thousands of troops out of Shanhaiguan, but was blocked by Yongping Mansion, one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty.
Naha was able to see that it was at this time that the Ming Dynasty was already powerless. However, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not have enough foundation to launch a southern expedition. Although the Northern Yuan won the Battle of Lingbei, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others deserved to be the world's famous generals, even if they won the Northern Yuan, they were only barely victorious, and they were unable to start a big war for the time being.
And Lao Zhu, who is "a capable army since ancient times, no one on the right side of Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang's ear", saw this gap and sent Mu Ying, Deng Yu and others to attack Yunnan, which was only strong on the surface, but in fact had become like a sieve because of Zhu Su's foresight. After all, Lao Zhu is now in a kind of urgency of "time is not waiting for me". To break through Yunnan, one can take the giant wood needed for shipbuilding, and obtain the "god seed" earlier; Second, the road to send troops to Annam can be opened to wait for the opportunity to take this Tianci granary, which is closest to Daming, before the Xiaoice River period comes.
It can be said that the current situation in the north is still within the acceptable range of Lao Zhu. Even because of the activity of Zhu Su and Zhu Di, the situation should be three points better than Lao Zhu originally expected.
But what if it's a problem outside the gate? For example, Yuan Ting did not recuperate as Lao Zhu expected, but poured out his remaining strength to fight for Da Ming's life?
"What about others? What is the news of 100,000 urgent? Thinking of this, Zhu Su couldn't help but change his face.
