Daming: From the end of Hongwu

241 Chapter 239 - Pretend to be crazy and the eldest son

Peking City.

As for Zhu Yunqi's intention for the layout of Beiping, Zhen Wu and the others hurried to the Yan Palace to discuss countermeasures with Zhu Di after they knew about it immediately.

This decree is tantamount to a plan, and the murderous intentions in it are wanton, which makes Zhen Wu and others have to be shocked.

All of a sudden, the soldiers and horses of Beiping were transferred away, and they were surrounded by the imperial court on three sides. Even though Zhen Wu knew the history and knew that Zhu Di would win, he was a little flustered in the face of this situation.

In Zhu Di's private study.

Zhen Wu, Dao Yan, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu, Jin Zhong and others all gathered together, discussing noisily, the pressure from the imperial court was too great, except Zhen Wu who could maintain a little mentality, The expressions of all the others were a little manic, as if they had turned into explosive kegs that would ignite at the slightest touch.

Qiu Fu slapped the table cursingly and said: "What does the imperial court mean? Needless to say, everyone knows it. They don't give them a way out at all. It's a fart to discuss. Let me say, let's turn against him now. Get in position, and directly call on our guards to turn him upside down."

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "How do you call? Xie Gui's [-] troops are guarding the city, and now they are guarding us tightly. The three guards are all stationed outside the city. I'm afraid they haven't been called yet. Let Xie Gui have an excuse to enter. Palace."

Zhen Wu nodded in agreement and said, "It's really not right. It's not counted as a garrison army. There are only a few thousand soldiers in the three guards. What's more, our right and left guard camps are outside the city. Xie Gui will definitely find out if there is any change. The current situation is obvious, if Xie Gui's 3 people can't solve it, we have no chance to call the army."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qiu Fu said violently, "Don't tell me we have to wait for the three-way army to be in place. Even if we don't say thank you for the [-] army, if there is a slight change in us, the encirclement of Song Zhonggeng's three-way army alone will be enough." Let's accept it, let alone Beiping City, even if you are given the most fortified city in the world, I will ask everyone here, who dares to say that it can be defended."

All the people present fell into silence.

Zhu Di stood up at this time, when he confirmed that Zhu Yunqi was indeed going to attack him, and when he no longer expected to coexist, all the weakness and hesitation in Zhu Di disappeared.

Zhu Di, who has led the army to fight several times and has won many battles in the enemy's territory, said in a deep voice: "Why panic, you can't hold it, but I can hold it. ? With your mentality, even if you have an army of 50, how can you win any battle? If you discuss things, just discuss things, and don’t fucking yell at me.”

Everyone was said to have no temper.

Zhu Di swept his eyes across the crowd, and suddenly clicked on Zhen Wu: "What are you thinking, tell me well, this time you can't say one, two, three, I will definitely beat you."

The people present were suddenly a little puzzled, not understanding why Zhu Di suddenly said that to Zhen Wu.

But Monk Daoyan was not surprised.

Many people have always only paid attention to Zhen Wu's fierceness and bravery, often as a vanguard general, unstoppable, but he and Zhu Di know that Zhen Wu has his own universe and other wisdom.

From the earliest methods of Zhen Wu's military training, it can be seen that Zhen Wu is not just a reckless general who only knows how to charge and kill, and then Hong Wu supported Zhu Di's surprise attack in the snow in the 23rd year of Hong Wu, offered advice to ambush Heishanling in the 24th year of Hong Wu, and was repeatedly used as a vanguard general in the following years. Every time he finds the opponent's life gate and rushes to kill, it can be concluded that Zhen Wu is intelligent and flexible, a natural genius on the battlefield.

What's more, at this moment, other people's faces were anxious and flustered, but Zhen Wu's face was still calm. If Zhen Wu had no thoughts in his mind, Zhu Di would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

But Zhen Wu's indifferent face is the biggest reliance on knowing that Zhu Di will win in the end, how could he have thought that Zhu Di would point to him.

However, Zhen Wu was not flustered either. It is not in vain to have spent so many years in the army, and it is not in vain to read military books. Everyone was confident, so after thinking about it, he got up and came to the map.

Zhen Wu pointed at the location on the map, and reported the name of the place: "Look, everyone, Kaiping, Shanhaiguan, and Linqing, although these three locations besiege Beiping, they are not at the same distance from Beiping. It is enough for us to deal with it. Let’s talk about Kaiping and Shanhaiguan first. As long as we can control Beiping City and rely on His Highness’s prestige, we can definitely take over Miyun and Yongping within three days. In this way, there are Miyun soldiers blocking Kaiping and Yongping soldiers blocking Shanhaiguan. To put it bluntly, give Miyun [-] soldiers and horses, and dare to defeat Song Zhong and his [-] army. As long as Song Zhong and Geng Yu are forced to retreat, we will be able to subdue the entire Beiping guards in a short period of time. By then, we will integrate the supplies and troops around Beiping, and then face Linqing's northward troops. They will not be enough For fear, even if the imperial court sends another large army to attack, we still have the foundation to fight against the imperial court..."

As Zhen Wu said more and more, the people who were listening attentively nodded slowly and calmed down. They had to admit that what Zhen Wu said made sense. They themselves were exceptionally good generals, and they had only heard about the court's policies before. , the pressure was so great that they didn't think carefully, and now listening to Zhen Wu helping them sort it out, all of them have regained their self-confidence.

As long as they have soldiers, they dare to break through thousands.

"But..." Zhen Wu said here, and suddenly stopped.

Zhu Neng asked, "But what?"

Before Zhen Wu could speak, Zhang Yu explained: "The premise is that we must control Beiping City. If we want to completely control Beiping City, what should we do with Xie Gui's [-] troops? And I heard what Zhen Wu said, Zhen Wu It's like trying to get the attention of Xie Gui's [-] soldiers and horses, and then use these [-] soldiers and horses to take Miyun Huairou and Yongping land?"

After speaking, Zhang Yu looked at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu nodded in agreement: "Now we can't gather troops, so we can only start with Xie Gui. If there are 3 troops to stabilize the situation, His Highness will have time to call on our guards and the previous His Highness I dare not say that there are too many old troops. We can gather at least [-] soldiers in a short period of time. With this kind of people, we can completely push back Song Zhong and Geng Yu, and face the crusade from the imperial court head-on. And thank you for [-] soldiers, I dare say Compared with Xie Gui, the soldiers among them definitely have their hearts towards His Highness. Under such circumstances, it would be a pity not to make this idea. I have the advantage of the army's morale, but I have no idea how to recruit these [-] horses .”

While talking, Zhen Wu looked at Monk Daoyan, who had been silent all this time, and said, "I'm afraid Master will need to think of something about this matter."

This should not trouble Dao Yan, after all, at this stage, Monk Dao Yan can definitely be called the number one adviser.

Dao Yan did not disappoint Zhen Wu, he nodded directly to answer the matter, but he thought for a while and said: "But the poor monk has a problem, if we want to get 3 people from Xie Gui, we must at least have capital. The guard army can't be counted on, and the soldiers of King Yan's mansion plus the guards of everyone in the family are less than 1000 people, which is too small. It is difficult, so now we have to find a way to delay the court for some time, and secretly accumulate some elite soldiers to prepare for the needs."

"In addition, now that the imperial court has made an order, Beiping is under the control of Xie Gui and Zhang Bing, so the equipment cannot be transferred, and our soldiers cannot display their combat power without armor and swords. It will also take time to make preparations, so it is urgent. You may wish to discuss it. , How can the court relax its vigilance and seek more time to prepare."

There was silence again in the study.

The situation before their eyes has become very obvious after discussion.

When the guards could not be mobilized, they had to rely on secret forces to defeat Xie Gui, and then recruit Xie Gui's [-] soldiers and horses. However, the secret forces were too small to make a small fortune, so it was necessary to paralyze the court and delay preparations .

Zhu Di made a final decision at this time: "Let's discuss this matter first."

Afterwards, everyone started discussing how to make the imperial court relax their vigilance. You said something to each other, and you had an idea. The discussion was extremely intense, but there were not many really effective ways.

It has been a long time, and there is no way to determine it.

Now that Zhu Yunqi has sharpened his sword, trying to make Zhu Yunqi stop what he is doing, the general method will not work.

In the end, the discussion came, the discussion went, Zhu Di patted the table angrily and said, "What? I have to go crazy, so my elder nephew can feel at ease with me?!"

But as soon as this sentence fell, everyone in the audience fell silent.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but slapped his head. After living in Ming Dynasty for so many years, how could he forget that Zhu Di played crazy and acted stupid in history.

Dao Yan's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, this method should be the best policy."

Others didn't dare to suggest, but they all looked at Zhu Di expectantly.

As soon as Zhu Di rolled his eyes, he thought it through completely, and he couldn't help laughing twice: "It makes sense."

He is not a face-saving person, and he doesn't care about such things, let alone life and death, losing someone for his life is nothing.

However, Zhu Di wondered: "Do you know what kind of attitude a lunatic should have? I don't have much contact with him. If I pretend not to be true, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and others."

Everyone thought about it for a while, and everyone knew that when the news of Zhu Di's madness spread, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui absolutely had to come to Prince Yan's Mansion to see it with their own eyes before they could rest assured. If they couldn't hide it from them, this method would be useless .

After everyone recalled the attitude of some lunatics, they began to describe to Zhu Di what they thought a lunatic looked like. Zhu Di didn't say much, just listened quietly, and then remembered everything in his heart.

Listening, Zhu Di didn't know if his acting attribute had been activated, or what, and he couldn't help making associations in his heart.

As time passed, everyone discussed until dark, and then they dispersed to go home, and then each secretly started to prepare for their own work.

In the days that followed, Zhen Wu and other generals were responsible for searching for trustworthy soldiers, and secretly sent them to King Yan's Mansion in various ways. The basement was emptied, and the furnace was turned on day and night to forge weapons. Zhu Gaochi, Dao Yan and others not only thought of many ways to cover up the noise, but also raised many chickens, ducks, geese, etc. to cover people's eyes and ears.

Yanwang Mansion was originally the Imperial Palace of the Yuan Dynasty. The palace was very deep and there were secret passages. Zhen Wu and others were also extremely cautious in their actions, so Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and others did not notice anything unusual.

After Song Zhong and other governors were in place, most of the garrison troops around Beiping City were also ordered to be dispatched to Kaiping, and all eyes of the whole world were on Beiping City.

And at this moment, the news that Yan Wang Zhu Di was frightened mad spread like wildfire.

On the same day, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui, who were suspicious, came to Yanwang Mansion as companions, but Yanwang Mansion had no time to entertain them at all. The lunatic Zhu Di ran around in Yanwang Mansion, and Xu Miaoyun, who was crying and heartbroken, directed the people in the mansion. , trying every means to stop the crazy Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's expression did not seem to be fake at all.

When Zhang Bing saw this scene, they looked at each other.

They believed most of them right away, but they still planned to confirm it again and again. However, at this moment, Zhu Di directly rushed out of the blockade of the maids in the court, and ran towards the two of them.

The two of them didn't react for a moment, they were directly knocked away by Zhu Di who was barefoot, and then watched Zhu Di rush straight out of King Yan's mansion, frantically going crazy on the street.

Xu Miaoyun panicked and hurried to let people chase after her. She also wanted to follow in a hurry, but when she came to Zhang Bing, she suddenly stopped.

She looked at Zhang Bing and Xie Gui with blood-red eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "If the lord really has something good or bad, I will definitely fight with you two forever."

After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyun turned her head and hurriedly chased after her.

There were a lot of people on the street, Xu Miaoyun chased the people from Yanwang Mansion to look for Zhu Di, but when she saw Zhu Di in a mess, fighting for food with a beggar like a dog, her defense seemed to be broken in an instant. Weeping in the street.

There was only one thought left in her mind, that was Emperor Taizu's son, who guarded the frontier for Daming for 20 years, how did he end up like this.

Zhang Bing and Xie Gui, who followed Xu Miaoyun, suddenly felt embarrassed when they saw this scene.

A prince was crazily robbing beggars for food, and a dignified princess was crying in the street. They couldn't help but believe that this was true, and even they felt that it was a bit too much for Zhu Yunqi to target Yan Wang at this time.

In the end, the two left quietly. After discussing carefully, they wrote down these matters in detail on the memorial, and sent them to Nanjing City quickly.

But at this time, Zhen Wu couldn't care about other things because Zhu Yuying was about to give birth.

On this day, Zhu Di went crazy in the city, rumors spread in the city, when Zhen Wu wanted to issue a password order to his family, it had already been accidentally transmitted to Zhu Yuying's ears, which caused Zhu Yuying's fetus to move in shock.

Zhen Wu was also frightened all of a sudden, and his hair stood up. While screaming in shock, he comforted Zhu Yuying: "Don't worry, don't worry, after the child is born, let's take the child to see the father. born to."

Zhu Yuying endured the pain and nodded.

The midwife who has been living in Zhen Wu's home recently heard Zhen Wu's call and quickly got ready to deliver Zhu Yuying. Fortunately, the midwife was extraordinary and had delivered babies for powerful families many times. When Zhen Wu panicked, she took the initiative to stand up. Come out and preside over the situation.

Let the maids boil the water and help them help, and everyone became busy in an orderly manner.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Yuying in pain, and his heart ached all over, Zhu Yuying's whole face was wrinkled in pain, and she looked at Zhen Wu helplessly with her eyes.

Zhen Wu comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm always here."

But Zhen Wu had no choice but to be there all the time, and was finally kicked out by the midwives.

He was fidgeting in the yard, walking non-stop, listening to Zhu Yuying's roar in the room, each sound pierced his heart like a knife.

He really wished he could take his place.

In Zhen Wu's state of mind, even the fourth and fifth younger sister's family didn't know about it, and the brothers-in-law also understood, and they were concerned about this matter with the company of the third child.

Zhang Yuqing wanted to comfort Zhen Wu with a few words, but she was also very nervous. This was the first grandson of her Zhen family. Although she was a woman who came from here, she was no less worried than Zhen Wu when she was a bystander.

Time seems to have never been so slow.

From the afternoon, all night passed, and when the sky was slightly bright, a loud cry pierced the sky.

The midwife came out to announce the good news that the mother and child were safe.

Zhen Wu didn't care about other things, rushed into the room immediately, and went straight to the bed. He held Zhu Yuying's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, but Zhang Yuqing looked at her with a smile all over his face. His eldest grandson is rare.

Xia Ju and Dongmei were also happy to offer rewards and announcements.

Soon the people in the Mansion knew that at the dawn of time, the grandson of Zhen's parents, their young master, had come to the world.

……

　Thanks to the two bosses of 'February 2th' and 'Book Friends 26' for their rewards, the boss is generous.
