Chapter 68 Rely on Ding Kuichu, it is better to rely on Liu Quan

……

Now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is like this, greed, corruption, party strife and internal troubles and so on.

Everyone who is in it inevitably falls with them.

Even if there may be some good officials among them.

But most of them are still a group of corrupt ministers who only care about their own interests.

But such a group of people, Zhu Di had to use it.

Because he alone cannot control the south of Nuoda, only this group of officials can do this.

And what he can do is to deal with corruption and sort out the rule of officials.

Even these things can only be done after Zhu Di enters Nanjing City.

Now he is just a slightly dazzling rebel in the eyes of everyone in Nanjing.

Even if this traitor hits Ning Guofu, he is still a traitor, at best, he is a little bigger.

Only after entering Nanjing and sitting on the throne.

Only then can he reform the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di turned his head and asked Liu Quan.

"Does the prefect of Ningguo have a reply?"

"Yes."

"Will you surrender to me?"

"Nope."

As he spoke, Liu Quan handed Zhu Xiyuan, the prefect of Ningguo, a reply to Zhu Di.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Di opened it and looked at it at a glance.

As early as after entering the territory of Ningguo Mansion, Zhu Di asked people to send a letter to Zhu Xiyuan.

After all, if he can capture Ning Guofu without spending a single soldier, Zhu Di is naturally willing.

About a pillar of incense after the time.

Zhu Di suddenly laughed.

"What a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Quan, who said this sentence, was confused.

The prefect of Ningguo is unwilling to surrender, why is His Majesty happy?

Don't you laugh angrily?

"I fought all the way from Fujian to Zhejiang, and now I finally see a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty."

"I didn't expect that my Daming would have such a stupid and loyal minister!"

Zhu Di's expression at the moment is very complicated, you say he is happy.

It seems that he shouldn't be happy for Zhu Yousong.

But you say he's not happy, he's happy for Daming again.

It can only be said that the contradiction is extreme.

"Then are we going to besiege Ning Guofu next?"

Liu Quan asked.

"You go and call General Xu and General Ding."

Hearing this, Liu Quan immediately understood that Zhu Di was going to discuss the military.

hurriedly trotted out all the way and called Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang.

Soon.

Ding Ruzhang and Xu Jiaying, who were wearing the robes of the Ming generals, walked into the study.

"The last general will see Your Majesty!" x2

"Two generals, please get up."

Zhu Di said weakly.

Later, after the two of them got up, Zhu Di did not grind.

Said directly to the two of them.

"I just arrived at the letter from the prefect of Ningguo, he is not willing to surrender, and he is even ready to defend the city."

"This is not a small trouble for our army."

"You may not know that Nanjing has already sent a general to lead 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion to reinforce Ning Guofu."

"It is expected to arrive at Ningguo Mansion in half a month."

"100,000 ???!!!"

Hearing the news, Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang were both shocked.

Their reaction was also expected by Zhu Di.

After all, before these two surrendered to him, they were just a local peasant rebel army.

The army that I have seen the most is probably the more than 30,000 people led by Zuo Guangxian at the beginning.

Not to mention 100,000 horses.

However, Zhu Di estimates that with the current level of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, it is very good to have 30,000 soldiers who can fight among the 100,000 horses.

He felt that most of it might have been some empty salaries, or the addition of people's husbands.

But even 30,000, or even 20,000, is a trouble for Zhu Di.

As long as he continues to spend time under Ningguo City and waits for the capital camp, it will be his death.

So it's better not to be tough now.

"Then Your Majesty, should we wait for Governor Ding?"

"When he breaks through from Huguang, we will attack Nanjing together, I don't know if this is good?"

Xu Jiaying said with a trembling voice.

The army of 100,000 really scared him!

There were almost ten times as many people as many as them, and even a single spit could drown them.

It really scared him.

"Governor Ding is still attacking Huguang, and he won't be able to enter for a while, so he can't be counted on."

Zhu Di said lightly.

If you want to rely on Ding Kuichu, it is better to surrender directly.

That guy has been fighting Huguang for so long, but he hasn't advanced an inch, and he has been confronting Zuo Liangyu there.

Even Huguang can't get in, even if he really comes.

I'm afraid it's useless.

"But Your Majesty, if we don't rely on Governor Ding, what do we rely on?"

"Now the army of the puppet dynasty is dozens of times that of ours, how can we fight? You can't let your brother take his life for nothing, can you? ”

Ding Ruzhang interjected at this time.

When he looked at Zhu Di's meaning, he had a taste of wanting to resist hard.

This can't be done.

To do it is to find pure death.

"Of course not, how could I let my brothers die?"

Zhu Di waved his hand to dispel Ding Ruzhang's thoughts.

Go on.

"Listen to me, I tell you how to fight?"

Hearing this, although both of them were puzzled.

But he still bent over and lowered his head and came to Zhu Di.

"Let's surround Ning Guofu first, but don't fight, go to the reinforcements halfway ......"

Zhu Di whispered his plan in the ears of the two.

Xu Jiaying and Ding Ruzhang, who listened, were stunned.

It's not that the plan doesn't sound good, it's that they're worried about whether they can do it.

After all, they've never used a plan like this.

may have seen the worries of the two.

Zhu Di comforted.

"Don't worry, I'm going with you, are you still afraid?"

"Of course not!"

The two people who were agitated hurriedly patted their chests and replied.

"Good! In that case, go ahead with the plan! ”

"Whoa!"

……

And just when Zhu Di was discussing how to deal with the 100,000 imperial army sent by Zhu Yousong.

Far away in Wuhu, a few hundred miles away from Ningguo Mansion, Huang Fei, the chief soldier of the Navy, was thinking about how to refuse the holy decree sent by the imperial court.

Because the imperial court actually asked him to lead the people of his headquarters to fight Zhu Di!

The matter of the royal struggle has been the most fatal thing since ancient times.

Not to mention that this dynasty also has the only emperor in the past who has successfully rebelled.

After all, no one can say whether this Yongming King will be the next Cheng Zu.

And in its current form, this Yongming King seems to be very powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the kung fu has already hit Nanjing's nose, can it not be powerful.

He didn't want to be a "relict of Jianwen".

Anyway, no matter which emperor wins, isn't it also surnamed Zhu?

Who will be the emperor, it makes no difference at all, right?

So he was ready to feign illness to refuse the call-up.

And just when Huang Fei was about to learn how to pretend to be sick.

A letter arrives from someone he didn't expect.
