In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Yingtian, the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against the dragon throne. His thin and skinny body was filled with dignity. His slightly narrowed eyes revealed his furious heart!
He looked at the ministers coldly and said,""Read!"
Eunuch Song He came out of his shift and recited in a cadence,""Commander Du Qing reported with tears of blood. In the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the Tartars also brought their troops south. Datong City has been besieged for a long time. I hope Your Majesty can quickly send troops to rescue us!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with hatred.”
"This time, we actually gathered 100,000 cavalry!”
"Everyone, what should we do now?”
"This…"
100,000 cavalrymen was not a small number!
Where was the safest place to mobilize troops, who to send reinforcements, and more importantly!
Even if the 800-mile journey was rushed, it would still take three to four days for the information to arrive from Datong City. What's the situation at the front line now?
Was Datong City still in his hands?
All these needed to be considered! It was not easy to be a minister under Zhu Yuanzhang.
The ministers looked left and right, feeling a little anxious.
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed as he swept his gaze across the officials below him, who were like quails, and snorted coldly!
"We didn't call you here to be silent! Tell me everything!"
The Crown Prince Zhu Biao was dead, and the ones standing at the front of the team were the Imperial Grandsons Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu!
After the death of the Crown Prince, Zhu Yunwen, with the help of a group of Confucian scholars and the acquiescence of Zhu Yuanzhang, crazily expanded his power, reaching almost half of the entire court!
The moment he moved, the wind and clouds followed, and he had quite an imposing manner.
As for the imperial grandson, Zhu Yunyu...
In the eyes of others, he was harmless, like a salted fish, without any threat or fighting spirit.
At this moment, he was bored and did not care about the discussion in the hall. He leaned against the pillar.
He was a transmigrator. Zhu Yunhao was too sad after the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, so his soul could possess him.
He knew very well that under Zhu Yuanzhang, regardless of whether he was an official or a prince, the most important thing was stability!
In his previous life, there were always people on the internet who said that Zhu Biao would beat gongs and drums when he rebelled. This was just an exaggerated description!
Zhu Yuanzhang had risen from a beggar to establish the Darming Dynasty, and the pressure he gave to all the princes and grandsons was unprecedented!
When Zhu Biao disagreed with him, he would force Zhu Biao to accept his opinion.
In the end, Zhu Biao was forced to jump into the river!
Even Emperor Yongle, who later went south to Jingnan, was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang's memorial tablet.
After the Jingnan incident, Zhu Di had been dreaming every day, worried that he would not be able to meet Zhu Yuanzhang in the afterlife.
What boldness was this?
Being as steady as an old dog was the best choice!
Everything was ready. As long as the east wind did not come, he would not make a move!
Borrow?
This kind of illusory thing definitely doesn't exist here!
My goal is to eliminate all coincidences and control all variables!
"What's there to talk about?”
He turned his head and saw the Minister of War, Ru Chang, behind him. That damned fatty was winking at him, as if wanting him to leave work.
What a joke!
There was still a big problem that had not been solved. How could he make a move!
Zhu Yunhao ignored his gaze and sighed in his heart.
Previously, she had drunk a few drinks and let Ru Chang know about some things. Recently, she was thinking about whether to poison him to death.
When he got back, he asked Ma Sanbao to buy ten catties of arsenic-like powder.
With that damned fatty's weight, ten catties was enough!
At this time, Zhu Yunwen proudly glanced at Zhu Yunhao and slightly raised her eyebrows. Her face was full of provocation.
When he saw that Zhu Yunhao still had that calm expression in his eyes, he was furious.
"Imperial Grandfather, your grandson believes that Da Tong is an important city on the nine borders and also the gateway to our Great Ming!”
'If Datong falls, the Tartars can rely on their cavalry to sweep through the mountains and rivers.'
Zhu Yuanzhang's joy and anger were invisible. He asked without any fluctuation,"Oh? You mean you want reinforcements?"
"Yes, sir!"
"From where? Send who?"
"Imperial Grandfather!"
"There are nine Great Fortress Kings stationed in the north. Each of them has elite soldiers and fierce generals. I think I can order a general to lead the elite soldiers of the King of Yan and the King of Ning to attack from a long distance. This way, I will be able to defeat the bandits of Datong in one go!”
"Protect my country!"
Just as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him hurriedly knelt down." Your Majesty, what the imperial grandson said is very appropriate."”
"I agree!"
"I also agree! The soldiers of the nine sides guarding the pass cannot be moved easily. Now, only the soldiers of the vassal kings can be mobilized!”
Zhu Yunwen looked forward to receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, but there was no joy or sorrow on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
"Send who?"
Zhu Yunwen paused. She didn't get the evaluation she had imagined and her momentum was greatly reduced."Grandson believes that Lu Wen had previously followed Great General Lan Yu on the northern expedition and had made outstanding contributions. We can send him there!”
Lu Wen, Zhu Yunwen's mother's relative.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew this.
But...
He flipped through the Jinyiwei report in front of him. After Zhu Biao died, he put all his care and concern on Zhu Yunwen. As a relative of Lan Yu, Lu Wen received special care from him. He also hoped that he would be able to kill the enemies and make contributions on the battlefield, which was why he let him follow Lan Yu to the north.
Lan Yu was the strongest general in existence, so it was naturally safe for him to make a move. Lu Wen was obviously going to take the credit!
However, under such circumstances, he had no achievements. It was as if he had gone on an outing and was hiding in the middle of the army!
He was a pig!
Datong was surrounded, and 100,000 cavalrymen went south. For such a big battle, they sent a pig over.
He sighed in his heart.
Lu Wen was still unaware of this. He hurriedly left his shift and knelt down, feeling smug."Your Majesty! I will not disappoint you and defeat the bandits!”
He cast a grateful look at Zhu Yunwen. As expected, relatives were more reliable!
When he saw Zhu Yunhao, he immediately showed a disdainful look.
This kind of person was cowardly and embarrassing. He actually stood in front of him and was even standing side by side with his nephew!
What qualifications did he have!
The fire of jealousy in his heart burned fiercely.
"Third Imperial Sun, I saw your disdainful gaze just now!" he hurriedly said.”
"The Master said: If a ruler insults his subjects, they will die! The emperor is anxious about Datong, but you are dozing off!”
"Is this your way of being a subject and a grandson?”
"Or perhaps the Third Imperial Grandson has other opinions? Why not speak freely in the hall?”
