Chapter 3 Wang Zhen Must Die

"It's absolutely impossible, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Fu hastily dissuaded him, saying: "Yexian's main force is only [-] miles away from our army's position. If we attack the Ala tribe at this time, we will definitely send troops from the rear to form a pincer attack on our army. By then , the consequences are disastrous!"

All the generals also shook their heads secretly. Seeing the emperor's serious attitude, they thought that the situation had changed, but those who gave this order were still doing whatever they wanted, messing around!

Maybe, this is another bad idea of ​​Wang Zhen's dog!
Hey, where did Wang Zhen go?
"What the Qing family said is very reasonable!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, pointing to the position of Yexian on the map and said, "However, after confirming the authenticity of the information, we decide to send troops. At least two It's time, that is to say, we have two hours to kill Alabu!"

Zhang Fu couldn't help being stunned. Is it feasible to eat the opponent's 3 horses in two hours?

Theoretically, it is feasible, because the Ming army has firearms, even if the enemy cannot be completely wiped out, as long as the water source is seized, and then camped on the spot and fortifications are built, the goal of this battle will be achieved.

However, this is just a theory. If there is a real fight, no one knows what will happen.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if there is a problem in any link, the original plan will be completely disrupted.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do, but judging from the current situation, launching a blitzkrieg against Alabu was the most effective method.

Otherwise, when someone reacts and puts up a defensive formation to fight a protracted battle with you, they really can only wait to die.

Zhang Fu still had many concerns, and said: "The soldiers are seriously short of water. If we launch an attack now, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the location of the Guishui River on the map, and said, "The source of water is in the hands of the enemy. If you kill them, there will be water!"

"Then...do we need to formulate a feasible battle plan first?"

"The situation is urgent, how can there be time to make a plan?" Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "The Shenji Battalion is in the lead, and the cannons are pulled out to directly bomb his mother!"

Zhang Fu had no choice but to ask, "When will we attack?"

With incomparable determination in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, he said, "Now, immediately, immediately!"

All the soldiers were hesitant, didn't they say they had a meeting to discuss, why were they about to attack suddenly?
Zhang Fu said again: "However, our army's food, supplies, and temporary camps and tents..."

"Nothing at all!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Give up all the luggage, and tell the soldiers that they are not allowed to carry anything except weapons!"

These veterans are all after meritorious service, and many of them have the experience of following Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, and they fought unambiguously, but they still remain skeptical of the battle plan given by Zhu Qizhen, which is really too aggressive.

If the fight fails, the Ming army will lose all its supplies, food and grass, and will be attacked by the enemy, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing that the generals were still hesitating, Zhu Qizhen said resolutely: "If we delay for a moment now, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will decrease by one point. There is no time to think about it. Pass on my order. All battalions are ready to fight and execute immediately!"

At this moment, he knows better than anyone else that he can't wait!
If we wait any longer, the soldiers will be even more desperate and their morale will drop to the bottom because the water source problem cannot be solved.

At most three days, the general attack will be launched first, and the history of the civil fort will repeat itself by then.

As for himself, he will become the only captured emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he will be driven by Ye Xian, calling for the door everywhere.

Such a shame, if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would be able to recover from anger.

Right now there is no time to delay, and I must immediately seek a decisive battle with Alabu in the east. Even if I can't win, I will die at worst. I will never be called the son of heaven!
What's more, the combat power of the Shenji Battalion has been preserved, and the artillery bombarded him, so I don't believe he can't beat him!
Seeing the emperor's determination, the flames of war in Zhang Fu's heart also ignited, and he took the lead in expressing his opinion: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Seeing this, the other generals all dispelled their doubts and said in unison: "I will obey the order!"

"Slaves are going to pass the decree!"

At this time, a disharmonious voice came, and everyone turned their heads to look. It turned out that it was Wang Zhen, who was standing obediently in the corner of the big tent.

The generals were wondering just now, why didn't Wang Zhen participate in such an important meeting?

Also, why is his face swollen?
Even when I called everyone for a meeting just now, my tone was very friendly, and I even used the word "please".

Simply incredible!
Relying on the emperor's favor, this person covered the sky with one hand in the court, and the ministers and ministers of the court scrambled to cling to him, and his godsons were all over the court. Now he suddenly fell out of favor, which is really surprising.

Zhu Qizhen said suddenly: "Stop!"

Wang Zhen was shocked, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart, and he quickly bowed his head and knelt down.

"Fan Zhong!"

"The end is here!"

"Take Wang Zhen down!"

Fan Zhong looked pleasantly surprised, and replied: "The last general has orders!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wang Zhen already sensed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't look at him at all, and said in a cold tone: "The eunuch misled the country, today I will take your dog's life to sacrifice the flag, and comfort the tens of thousands of loyal Ming souls who died in the front line!"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhen was sweating like rain and shaking like chaff. Until now, he still couldn't figure out why the emperor's attitude towards him suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"Emperor Shengming!"

Zhang Fu couldn't bear it any longer, prostrating himself on the ground, weeping from excitement.

God really opened his eyes, no, the emperor opened his eyes, if it weren't for Wang Zhen, a stray dog, he wouldn't be in the situation he is today.

Before the army goes out, if Wang Zhen's head is sacrificed to the flag, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be increased by at least [-]%.

During this battle, all the generals were restrained by Wang Zhen everywhere, and they had already suffered terribly. At this moment, they finally saw hope, and they all fell to the ground, shouting long live!

Wang Zhen completely collapsed on the ground. Although he didn't know why, he knew very well in his heart that he was finished.

Without any hesitation, Fan Zhong stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhen by the back of his neck, lifted it up, carried it outside the tent, and ordered people to tie it up and prepare to sacrifice the flag.

The other eunuchs usually followed Wang Zhenyao to make a fuss, but when they saw this situation, they all fell silent, knelt down and bowed their heads, not daring to vent their anger.

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly became excited, they all got up and retreated, and returned to the camp to prepare for battle.

Zhu Qizhen appointed two more people to stay, namely Prince Consort Jingyuan and Hanlin Bachelor Zhang Yi.

"Captain Jing, how many cavalry are there?"

Jing Yuan thought for a while and replied, "About three hundred."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said: "Gather these three hundred cavalry to form an assault team, and let you lead them."

Jing Yuan thought to himself, in the battle of tens of thousands of people, the role of three hundred cavalry is negligible... Could it be that the emperor is going to run away and let himself escort him?

The war is approaching, and the commander running away is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the morale of the entire army. If the soldiers on the front line know the truth, how can they have the heart to fight?
But after thinking about it, the current situation is already like this, as long as the emperor is safe, even if the three major battalions are completely lost, Daming still has the capital to make a comeback.

When I got back to the capital, I said that I strongly demanded that the emperor go first, and at worst, I, Jing Yuan, would be the one to bear the blame!

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen turned to Zhang Yi, a Hanlin scholar, and said, "Zhang Qing's family, help me to draw up an imperial edict."

Zhang Yi's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly said, "Please issue an order from the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen exhaled heavily, calmed down his mood, and then solemnly said: "If I died in the battle today, I will order King Tan to succeed the general, and Yu Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of War, will be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, and will be given the title of Governor of the Zuo. He will command the barracks and guard the capital. !"

Zhang Yi's expression changed immediately, and he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"I've made up my mind, let's draw up an order!"

Cold sweat dripped from Zhang Yi's forehead, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Jingyuan again, and said solemnly: "When the battle ahead, you immediately escort Zhang Qing's family with [-] cavalry to break through the siege along the Yongding River. You must send this edict back to the capital!"

Jing Yuan immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to stay in the front line!"

At this moment, he was so annoyed that he actually regarded the emperor as a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, damn it!

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and said slowly: "The foundation of the ancestors cannot be destroyed in my hands. As long as the capital is still there, the Ming Dynasty will be there. The two Qing families, please receive the order!"

Jing Yuan insisted: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and I am willing to fight to the death to escort the Emperor to break through!"

"I can't go!" Zhu Qizhen said resolutely, "The battle is coming, I am the commander, and I have to be responsible for the [-] soldiers ahead!"

"But……"

"I've made up my mind, the Qing family don't want to say anything else!"

Jing Yuan clenched his fist, hit the ground heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "I obey the order!"
