Chapter 227: Fly the drone first, then make a plan
"Please advise General Mu."
Chu Zhen towards the opposite Xiping Hou Muying.
He is not very old, he looks like he is in his thirties, and he is much younger than the fifty-five-year-old general Fu Youde who was present.
Mu Ying is the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, ten years older than Zhu Biao, after pacifying Yunnan, it was he who sat in Yunnan for ten years to stabilize the frontier, and his descendants have also been the king of Yunnan Qianning for generations.
"There are clouds in the historical records, the Chu State sent troops to the south to conquer Dianchi, and then because the way back was attacked by the Qin State, Ba, Guizhou and other counties, the road was blocked, so it stayed and established the Dian State."
Mu Ying started from the historical records written by Taishi Gong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Dian Kingdom, and the king of the Dian Kingdom surrendered and accepted the canonization of the Han Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, Yunnan was the Southern Zhao Kingdom.
By the time of the Song Dynasty, Duan Siping destroyed the Southern Zhao, built Dali, and later made friends with the Song Dynasty.
“…… Yuan Shizu led the troops, attacked Dali from north to south, crossed the Jinsha River on a leather bag and took a raft, and surrounded Dali City. ”
When Chu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh for the perversion of the Yuan Dynasty.
100,000 troops from Mongolia all the way south, thousands of miles to attack, but also to destroy the Dali Kingdom, a few years later the Yuan army from Yunnan to cooperate with the northern army, flanking the Southern Song Dynasty.
The allusion to the "Yuan Cross Leather Bag" in the world's first long couplet comes from this.
But in the face of such a Mongol army, the Southern Song Dynasty held out for forty-five years.
If the Northern Song Dynasty had half of the Southern Song Dynasty's armed forces, how could Jingkang be ashamed?
Mu Ying continued: "After the Yuan destroyed Dali, Feng Duan was the hereditary governor of Dali, and he jointly governed Yunnan with King Liang of Yuan Feng.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Xia lord led tens of thousands of troops to attack Zhongqing Road, the king of Liang fled, the general manager Duan Gong led the troops to help, defeated the Xia army, and the king of Liang then named him the political affairs of Pingzhang, and married his daughter Princess Agai to him.
After that, King Liang was suspicious of Duan Gong and secretly ordered his daughter to be poisoned with peacock gall, Princess Agai refused, but Duan Gong was still killed, and Princess Agai died of hunger strike.
Since then, the Liang King of Yunnan and the Duan clan of Dali have no longer interacted with each other, and they have their own armies. ”
Chu Zhen was silent for a while, and everyone in the tent couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Zhen really didn't expect that when he heard about the war in Yunnan, he would suddenly hear a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.
I think it is also this love that is poignant and moving, and it is widely spread here, so Mu Ying also heard about it.
"It's a poor couple, this King Liang is good at killing heroes and bringing about his own destruction."
Chu Zhen commented, and asked, "Who is Lord Xia?" What's the name? ”
Inside the tent, the people looked at it, but they did not dare to speak.
It was Zhu Di who replied: "The surname of the Xia lord is Ming, and General Fu and others in the fourth year of Hongwu led the army to conscript, and after his son surrendered, his father was worried that he would be dissatisfied when he grew up, so he sent him to Goryeo. ”
Boy!
Chu Zhen understood, this Xia lord was Ming Yuzhen of the separatist forces at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and after Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Xia Kingdom, he sent Ming Yuzhen's sons to Goryeo.
Mu Ying, Fu Youde and others did not dare to explain Yuzhen's name because Zhu Di's grandfather, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's father, was called Zhu Shizhen - Zhu Shizhen was called Zhu Wusi before his death, and Zhu Yuanzhang changed his father's name and then posthumously honored him as the emperor.
Zhu Di smiled and motioned for Mu Ying to continue.
"In the third year of Hongwu, Pingchuan, there were ministers who regained Yunnan together, and the saint said that it was far away, and it was not suitable to annoy the soldiers, and sent envoys to the king of Liang many times, but most of them were killed by the king of Liang."
Envoys in ancient times were a high-risk profession!
Finally speaking of the present, Mu Ying said: "Before His Royal Highness King Yan led the army to set off, the Holy Lord instructed us to send an army to Wusa in Yongning, divide the key points, and the main army will take Qujing directly, which is the throat of Yunnan, and Yunnan is under control. ”
No wonder he didn't see Lan Yu, it turned out that he went to Usa.
Chu Zhen asked, "Are we going to besiege Qujing now?" ”
He had read the history books before he came, and he knew roughly what had happened, but he couldn't trust them all.
"Not yet."
Zhu Di said: "King Liang sent Situ Darima to lead 100,000 troops to garrison Qujing, and our army across the Baishi River to confront, we rested for two days, and at this time we were about to discuss the strategy of crossing the river. ”
Defending the city is not as good as defending the river, this battle is similar to the battle between Li Shimin and Dou Jiande Tiger Pass, the difference is that there is no Li Shimin in Qujing City.
"Li Shimin" is on the side of "Dou Jiande".
Chu Zhen smiled and asked, "I don't know what the plans of King Yan and the generals are?" ”
Everyone looked at the map behind Zhu Di together.
Fu Youde said: "The rivers in the map given by Chu Zhenjun are different from what we see, can Your Highness use a drone to take a look?" ”
Drone?
Many generals were puzzled.
Zhu Di looked at Chu Zhen and said with a smile: "I invited Zhenjun to come just to try this drone, and ordered all armies not to bend their bows and arrows when they see drones in the future, so as not to damage them." ”
"Hahaha!"
Chu Zhen laughed and said, "I told you to bring some drones before the expedition, and this time I brought them, all of them are fully charged, just fly!" ”
Li Shimin had to come secretly with a drone, but Zhu Di could be above board and let the drone fly everywhere to check.
In order to prevent the drone from being hit by friendly forces, you must pass the order down, and if you see a strange thing flying in the sky in the future, don't shoot arrows!
"Thank you Chu Zhenjun!"
Zhu Di was overjoyed and made a decision: "Fly the drone first, and then make a plan to cross the river!" ”
Fu Youde, Mu Ying, Feng Cheng, Xie Xiongge and other generals had no objections.
So Zhu Di ordered to convene the generals of the leading forces in the army, with the main general coming and the deputy general stationed.
Chu Zhen came out of the camp tent and saw that there were all tents outside, arranged at intervals, gathered according to a certain classification, there were soldiers patrolling, and the rest were all in the tents, only the soldiers who were responsible for carrying water and transporting supplies on the main road.
The camp is orderly, it is impossible to go to the door to chat, and the toilet is a fixed place for each camp tent to go to the toilet at a fixed time.
"The army is divided into front and rear battalions, and this is the middle battalion."
Zhu Di explained the general layout for Chu Zhen, and dozens of generals also followed on horseback.
When Chu Zhen came to the outside of the camp, he saw more measures to prevent the enemy from rushing the camp, ditches, barriers, horse rejection, etc., soldiers patrolled everywhere, and temporary towers were built on high places for lookout.
This place is five or six hundred meters away from the river bank, and you can see the Yuan army on the opposite side.
"Did you bring the telescope?"
Chu Zhen asked Zhu Di, and quickly got a small telescope and looked at the opposite bank.
Unlike the imaginary Yuan Dynasty army, the soldiers on the opposite side were thin and small, with slightly dark skin, and the armor they wore was relatively tattered.
Zhu Di explained: "King Liang only has more than 10,000 Yuan troops in Yunnan, and the rest of the soldiers are recruited from Dali. ”
"I see."
Chu Zhen knew that even if there were more than 10,000 yuan troops, they would not all be Mongols, and there would definitely be many Semu people and Han people.
"Where does Your Highness plan to fly the drone?" Fu Youde looked around.
"I don't know what Chu Zhenjun means?"
Zhu Di threw the question to Chu Zhen again.
"Just fly on the bank of the river."
"If you accidentally fall into the river, it will be broken, so let's fly farther away."
Zhu Di was reluctant to drop a drone into the river.
Chu Zhen smiled: "It's okay, you don't want to see the camp of the Yuan army?" You can't see it at night. ”
Zhu Di glanced at the sky and could only nod.
So, Chu Zhen asked Zhu Di's personal soldiers to take out the drone he brought and connect it to his mobile phone.
Under the gaze of a group of Ming generals, Chu Zhen turned on the drone, put it on the ground, and then held the controller with both hands, looking at the picture in the mobile phone in front of him.
"Buzz."
The drone flew up, and Feng Cheng, Xie Xiongge and other Ming soldiers all opened their eyes wide, looking at the machine that made a bee buzzing sound in disbelief.
"This thing works so well!" Zhu Di was very excited, standing beside Chu Zhen, looking at the picture on his mobile phone.
Chu Zhen pushed the rocker.
The drone flew, and the higher it flew, the higher it became, the heads of a group of Ming generals also rose higher and higher, and their faces were shocked.
The soldiers who were on guard around couldn't help but raise their heads one after another.
They vaguely saw this thing, and flew directly across the Baishi River to the Yuan army camp.
"See!"
Zhu Di shouted in surprise.
The generals around him gathered around and gasped.
The tents are in full view, the location of the Yuan military camp, where the war horses are, where the cooking camp is, what fortifications have been made outside the camp, and the surrounding mountains and forests.
See it all clearly!
Although the drone couldn't complete the flight because the camp was too big, it was condescending and was able to draw the surrounding environment of the camp.
Chu Zhen controlled the drone and flew over the Yuan army camp.
The height is about 100 meters, and then it slowly descends.
"Watch out for the arrows!"
Zhu Di held his breath, and a group of Ming generals who were around and stretched their necks to watch also raised their hearts, more nervous than going to the battlefield.
"It's fine."
Chu Zhen smiled: "There are still a few broken ones...... Oh, they found out! ”
The buzz of the drone alarmed the soldiers patrolling the Yuan army camp, and with the shouting, many people looked up.
Chu Zhen controlled the drone to fly around with a wicked taste, imitating the flight of birds, and the high-definition camera could capture the surprised appearance of the Yuan soldiers, although he couldn't see the expressions clearly.
After a while, there was a general of the Yuan army on the ground who bent his bow and arrow, and an arrow was shot.
"Be careful!"
The soldiers of the Ming Army who saw this scene shouted in unison.
The arrow missed.

Chu Zhen raised the drone, confirmed that the camp had been photographed, and then flew the drone to Qujing City, which was not far away, and took a few photos from a distance.
Return later.
The drone buzzed back and slowly fell to the ground, Chu Zhen gave Zhu Di a look, and His Royal Highness King Yan immediately picked it up in person and handed it over to the guards for safekeeping.
The generals looked at the drone in the box in the hands of the guards, and their eyes could shine!
No one knows better than them the advantages that having one of these UAVs can bring on the battlefield.
It's exactly like the Eye of the Gods, with a full view of the enemy's layout and the battlefield landscape!
They wish they had a drone too!
"What a fetish!"
Zhu Di looked at the picture on his phone and praised it again and again.
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "The stronger the strong army, the stronger it is, the Song army is still the Song army." ”
"Song Jun?"
Everyone didn't understand, which Song army is Song Jun?
"Keep flying, take a look at the terrain around you."
Chu Zhen rode on his horse.
Zhu Di ordered everyone: "Order all the armies, when you see something in the sky, don't bend your bow and arrow!" ”
Dozens of soldiers reluctantly left, and they knew what to say when they returned.
Chu Zhen and them rode to the downstream area, and Zhu Di also flew a drone.
went to the upstream zone again, and Fu Youde, the general of Zhengnan, also tried to control it once.
Finally, Mu Ying.
The drone "snapped" and hit a tree branch, and the phone screen quickly disappeared.
“…… Yes? ”
Mu Ying held the remote control in his hand, everyone was stupid, and everyone looked at him.
Such a treasure drone, if you drop one, can make everyone feel distressed!
"It's fine."
Chu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, took the remote control, and looked at it, it had indeed fallen, and the drone was automatically turned off, so he couldn't be contacted.
"Go back to the camp and call someone to come and help find it!"
After coming back to his senses, Zhu Di immediately instructed the guards.
"It's all my fault, I didn't notice there's a big tree behind it!" Mu Ying blamed herself very much.
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "General Mu doesn't have to blame himself, blowing up the plane is a common thing, a gust of wind can blow it away, I will look for it later, forget if I can't find it, I still have it there." ”
Mu Ying was so moved that she couldn't say words of thanks.
The crowd soon arrived at the site of the accident.
Zhu Di and Fu Youde commanded outside the woods, telling the soldiers who entered the woods to search to always pay attention to their feet and not step on them.
Mu Ying and the soldiers went into the woods to look for it personally.
After looking for a quarter of an hour, someone shouted: "Found it, hang it on a branch!" ”
So a group of people, even Zhu Di and Fu Youde, surrounded them, and carried them under a few pieces of cloth, Mu Ying sent someone to climb the tree, carefully took down the drone, and returned it to Chu Zhenjun.
Chu Zhen tried to take off again and found that it was not broken.
"I'm so ashamed not to be dishonored!"
Mu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Di laughed and asked, "Who found out just now?" Hanging branches are barely visible. ”
The crowd looked at one man.
"Your Highness, it's a humble position." The man stepped forward.
"What's your name?"
"Back to Your Highness, the humble name is Qi Xiang!"
"Qi Xiang?!"
Before Zhu Di could speak, Chu Zhen looked at him in surprise.
"Chu Zhenjun, are you...?"
Qi Xiang was a little puzzled, what happened to him?
"No, nothing."
Chu Zhen smiled at this ancestor of Qi Jiguang, beckoned Zhu Di and the others to return to the camp, and asked Zhu Di and them to go back to the tent first, and he chatted with Qi Xiang alone for a while.
Zhu Di sent several of his guards to follow and protect him, so that the patrol soldiers would not recognize him when it was dark.
"Where is General Qi from?"
Riding on a horse, Chu Zhen asked Qi Xiangdao.
He didn't just want to see Qi Jiguang's ancestors, but more to understand some people and things about the Ming Army in Yunnan this expedition and understand their thoughts.
"It's just a thousand presidents below, and I don't dare to call myself a general!"
Qi Xiang hurriedly said, and said that he was Henan Weihui Mansion, and he used to be a saint soldier.
Chu Zhen nodded.
It is recorded in the history books that Qi Xiang died in battle during the conquest of Yunnan, and Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his military exploits, so he let the Qi family inherit the post of general Mingwei, and only then did he have the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang.
"General Qi."
Chu Zhen told him: "This expedition to Yunnan is a bit dangerous for you, so you must be careful on the battlefield. ”
Although he knew what was going on, it was impossible for Chu Zhen not to remind Qi Jiguang in order to show him.
Moreover, Lao Zhu destroyed the Wa Kingdom, and it doesn't matter if there is Qi Jiguang or not.
"Thank you Chu Zhenjun for reminding me!"
Qi Xiang thanked him.
Chu Zhen was about to speak, when he saw a person walking towards him on the dim road in front of him, holding his stomach, and when he saw them, he was stunned for a moment, and ran away.
"Stop!!"
Zhu Di, who was behind him, rode his horse and chased after him, and ordered him to stop, otherwise he would shoot arrows.
"No, don't, don't shoot arrows, my lord, I'm under the account of General Zhao of the Zhongying, and Shangguan is Qi Qianzong!"
"I am Mr. Qi Qian!"
When Qi Xiang heard that it was his own soldier, he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, let me see who you are!" ”
The man was obviously frightened, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, and found that it was indeed Qi Qianzong.
What a coincidence!
"Liu Wu, what are you running out for?!"
Qi Xiang asked.
Liu Wu hurriedly said: "Mr. Qian, I have a stomachache, it hurts in the morning, and I came out once at noon, but I couldn't stand it just now, so I came to Gong again after eating." No, my legs are shaking when I squat! ”
“……”
Qi Xiang stared at him for a while before scolding: "Go and find the patrol, find out and take a beating!" ”
Liu Wu didn't dare to argue, turned around and shouted, asking the patrol to come and arrest him.
"Wait."
Chu Zhen called out to him.
The soldiers on patrol heard the sound, but they were signaled by King Yan's guards not to come over first, and waited for Chu Zhenjun to finish asking.
"My lord, ...... are you?"
Liu Wu turned around.
"Your name is Liu Wu?"
Chu Zhen asked him, "Where are you from?" ”
Liu Wu didn't know why, but the chief was in front of him, and he could only answer honestly: "My father's surname is Liu, and my mother calls me Lao Wu, so my name is Liu Wu...... As for where it is, I only know Jingzhou, and I can't remember what it is called. ”
"Jingzhou? Jingzhou is in Hubei, no, in Huguang. ”
Chu Zhen said his hometown.
Judging from Liu Wu's words, his father died early, so only his mother called him Liu Wu.
Chu Zhen asked him some more things, knowing that he joined the army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and ate a mouthful of food, and it has been more than 20 years now, and he is forty years old this year.
After chatting for a while, Liu Wu became happy and said: "My lord, this time I have Chu Zhenjun to help in Yunnan, saying that I can easily beat the Yuan army, and we can all take a little credit, don't you say?" After earning the credit, I went back to my hometown to marry a widow and give birth to two big fat boys, my Wang family can't cut off the incense in me! ”
This is the most simple wish of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "I will definitely be able to win the battle, and if I have merit, I will definitely be able to marry a daughter-in-law, which is the ...... of going back to my hometown."
"I'll just say that I can marry a daughter-in-law with merit!"
Liu Wu was happy, and he didn't hear the meaning of the second half of the sentence.
"Yes!
Chu Zhen nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally sent his daughter-in-law, how could he be fake?
After the patrol soldiers finished interrogating, they wrote down five boards for Liu Wu, and left them for punishment after the battle, and Xue Xiang led him back to the camp.
Chu Zhen also returned to Zhu Di's camp and learned that they had finished discussing and decided on a plan to cross the river.
