Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

"Grandpa Taizu, can Grandpa Cheng really take down Zuo Liangyu safely?
How about... how about our side send some more soldiers and horses to assist Grandpa Cheng? "

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said worriedly.

He was quite impressed by Zuo Liangyu.

This guy is definitely a slick old man.

Old hob meat.

Not easy to get along with.

The key is that he holds many soldiers and horses in his hands.

This time, Grandpa Cheng left with the imperial edict, which was to take away Zuo Liangyu's right to command the troops.

The soldiers and horses under Zuo Liangyu's command must be taken back to the imperial court.

It is led by two people, Cheng Zuye and Tie Xuan.

Such a thing, for Zuo Liangyu, would really kill him.

Military power is the lifeblood of a general.

Especially now, Ming Dynasty is in chaos.

A lot of order has been disrupted, and soldiers and horses are becoming more and more important.

Taizu sent Grandpa Cheng and Tie Xuan to do this with only a small number of troops. It was really dangerous.

Although Zuo Liangyu is cunning, he also has a ruthless spirit.

Now that they were going after his life again, how could he not rise up and resist?
That guy has so many soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of them.

The troops led by Grandpa Cheng and Tie Xuan only amounted to two thousand people.

Moreover, many of them are miscellaneous soldiers who came from the capital.

Some were servants of noble generals, while others were temporary recruits.

There are also some soldiers and horses from Beiping...

The disparity between the two sides is really huge.

Although those soldiers and horses have been tempered along the way, and Grandpa Cheng has trained them.

They are already a little different from before.

Grandpa Cheng himself was also a brave man who was good at fighting.

He is very capable of fighting, brave and resourceful.

But... this is not the Yongle Dynasty after all.

The troops he led were too few.

Going to capture Zuo Liangyu with just such a small number of people is really too childish.

Of course he was worried.

Zuo Liangyu's side is very important and there is no room for any mistakes.

If it were Master Cheng, Zuo Liangyu could be captured smoothly.

Then the Ming Dynasty can integrate its troops and horses in the shortest possible time.

With Grand Ancestor in charge, these military leaders will be eliminated.

These soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty will be tightly held in the hands of the imperial court.

It will be helpful for doing various things later.

But if it was Grandpa Cheng, something unexpected happened.

Things will get tough.

The current situation itself is very bad for Ming Dynasty.

If Master Cheng makes another mistake in dealing with Zuo Liangyu, the Ming Dynasty will fall into civil war if it fails.

It is necessary to use a large amount of soldiers, horses, food and grass to start a war against one's own people.

As a result, too much is consumed!
Moreover, the person who went to do this extremely dangerous task this time was Grandpa Cheng.

He is his serious ancestor.

Chongzhen also didn't want to see his ancestors encounter mishaps.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Chongzhen and said, "Don't worry about this.

There is absolutely no problem if the fourth child takes action.

Although Zuo Liangyu is difficult to deal with, that is only relative.

The fourth child now holds the imperial edict and is leaving on behalf of the imperial court.

Taking down Zuo Liangyu was no longer a problem.

If he can't even do this, then he's not the fourth child.

It is even less likely that the rebellion will succeed in the future, seize Zhu Yunwen's empire, and create the Yongle Dynasty..."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, Chongzhen couldn't help but tremble.

Although more than two hundred years have passed since this happened.

But no matter what you say, their team is somewhat out of position.

Hearing Grandpa Taizu say such words at this time, for him, this feeling was really weird.

There are also some that are frightening.

"Grandfather Taizu, how about... why don't we send more troops here?

Hurry up and rush to Wuchang to support Grandpa Cheng.

I believe that with these soldiers and horses, they can respond to each other from a distance and act as a deterrent.

Zuo Liangyu will definitely not dare to do anything to Master Cheng and the others..."

Once again, Chongzhen couldn't help but say these words to Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the one hand, he really thought so, and on the other hand, he wanted to change the topic so that Grandpa Cheng would not continue to talk about the matter of Grandpa Cheng taking Zhu Yunwen's throne.

This matter is a bit unclear.

It makes people's heads tingle just listening to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing Chongzhen's words.

I really want to say to Chongzhen, don’t worry about things that shouldn’t be yours to worry about.

Just watch.

Is this the time to send the army there?

Facing Chongzhen, Zhu Yuanzhang felt somewhat tired.

But after thinking about it, I opened my mouth to explain.

On the one hand, it was told to Chongzhen, and on the other hand, it was also told to the prince Zhu Cihong next to him.

There were some things that he, the Great Grandfather, still had to talk to them about and teach them by words and deeds.

After all, he couldn't stay in the late Ming Dynasty for much longer and would have to leave in a year.

From now on, this place will still be in their hands.

If you don't train them up, no matter how hard you work while waiting for others, I'm afraid that in the future, they will easily mess up the great situation they created.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and then said: "We cannot send a large army.

What this matter requires is a surprise and an unprepared attack.

We must seize the opportunity before word spreads about what happened in Peiping City and what we have done here.

Zuo Liangyu was caught off guard.

When he was not alert, he quickly captured it and chopped off the mess.

The sooner the better.

At this time, what is the use of sending troops and horses here?

Once the army moves into action, there are all kinds of things to do.

It will take at least three days to prepare before the army can set off to support them.

Secondly, if the army wants to have a deterrent effect, it cannot be done with a small number of people. It must be at least 20,000.

The march of a large army of 20,000 people and the march of Lao Si with a small number of people are completely different concepts.

In terms of speed, there is no comparison.

By the time the soldiers and horses were dispatched here, the day lily was already cold.

It doesn't work at all.

It was also impossible to make the fourth child stop and wait for the follow-up army.

If Lao Si goes with so many troops and horses, Zuo Liangyu will definitely be alert.

That guy can get to this level, he is also a cunning person.

With so many soldiers and horses, once you are alert and make some preparations, it is impossible to easily capture them.

There will inevitably be a big battle!
No matter how you operate it, it will not be good for our Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, if they really march at this speed, Zuo Liangyu will have already learned the news about Beiping City before the fourth child can see him.

And the fate of Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and others.

In this case, that's what really sucks! "

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chongzhen felt a sudden realization.

It’s actually like this!

The Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, who originally had some opinions about Grandpa Taizu, sent Grandpa Cheng to deal with Zuo Liangyu, after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation.

I also understand a lot.

Writing it down secretly felt like an eye-opener.

When you stay with Emperor Taizu Gao, you can learn new things every moment as long as you pay attention!

……

Zhu Yuanzhang led his people towards Nanjing City.

Geng Bingwen, King of Qin Zhu Feng, and King of Jin Zhu Fan, as well as the soldiers and horses they led, did not follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

They brought their troops and horses and deployed defenses in Xuzhou and other places according to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous deployment.

First, gather the people and stabilize their hearts.

Secondly, it is to establish a solid direction there to prevent the Tatars from going south in the future.

It also prepares him to lead troops to attack in the future and then return to Beiping City.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original consideration was to let Lan Yu also lead troops and horses to defend here.

But after some thinking, it was decided to let Geng Bingwen take over from Lan Yu and set up defenses there.

Mainly Geng Bingwen, when it comes to charging into battle, he may not be so brilliant, but when it comes to defensive warfare, it is really a set of tricks.

A talent like his must be put to good use.

It's perfect for him to build a defensive line in front.

Lan Yu is brave and good at fighting, and is a general with full lethality!
The most important thing is that Lan Yu is arrogant and cruel, and treats his enemies cruelly.

Today's Jiangnan area seems to be prosperous with singing and dancing, but in fact this is not the case.

Under the surface of singing and dancing, various taxes are hidden, and many benefits are divided up by the gentry!

The interests of all parties are intertwined!

If you lead people south, you will definitely encounter these people.

If we don't touch them, where will the court's money, food, and soldiers come from?
If you don't touch them, these people are still aloof and control a lot of wealth and power.

It lay on Daming's body like a blood-sucking insect, sucking blood continuously.

Since it is a touch, it will definitely bleed!
In some cases, there were even rivers of blood and heads rolling in!

So in this case, it would be perfect to transfer an existence like Lan Yu to the south!
If Geng Bingwen is asked to do something, he may still feel unbearable.

But Lan Yu, there is absolutely no need to worry!
It doesn't matter if you kill more sapphires.

Such collisions are inevitable in the future.

After Zhu Yuanzhang brings Chongzhen to Nanjing and temporarily stabilizes the situation, many things will begin.

These things must be done, and it is impossible not to do them.

The interests of Jiangnan, or the entire Ming Dynasty, were divided up by the gentry.

There was no soup left for the court at all.

Many things the court does require money.

In this case, there will inevitably be conflicts between them.

This kind of thing is inevitable.

No one wants to take flesh from themselves.

So we can only let Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, hold their necks and do this cruel thing for them!
Zhu Yuanzhang also learned from Han Cheng's story what the proud and selfish Jiangnan gentry experienced under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Faced with these people, the Tatars have only one way.

That's killing!

Only by killing a lot can many people be frightened.

Only in this way can we return to the imperial court a lot of the benefits that they have occupied and captured.

If he did not return to the imperial court, even Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to save the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang was very caring. He came here not only to save Chongzhen, but also to eliminate the bandits in the Ming Dynasty and drive away the Tatars.

He even wants to break many things through this action!

Let’s do a big cleansing and a big blood change!

Breaking a lot of things that have become rotten.

Give this court and this land new blood!
Reshape the world!

In this case, there is no need to be too polite.

Sometimes it’s time to take action!

As far as Zhu Yuanzhang was concerned, if he only allowed the Ming Dynasty to linger and did not make any particularly big changes after such a trip, it would be a failure!

Now that he's here, it's natural to get something big.

Many problems must be fundamentally solved!
If he fails to continue the national destiny for at least a hundred years for the Ming Dynasty, his time this time will be in vain!

As for whether doing this will cause turmoil in Ming Dynasty.

This actually doesn't matter anymore.

After all, the Ming Dynasty itself was particularly chaotic.

It doesn't hurt to be a little more messy now.

As for whether his next actions will lead to failure and the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, it actually didn't matter.

After all, according to the original history, the Ming Dynasty would only last for eighteen years.

Moreover, in these eighteen years, I still lost my armor and never escaped.

Eighteen years that make people angry just looking at it.

No matter how bad he does here, he can't get worse than this result!
If that's the case, then what's there to worry about?
Just give it a try!
If you don’t succeed, you will succeed!
Zhu Yuanzhang always had such great courage.

In many things, he has always dared to flip the table!

It can only be said that with the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang, many gentry in Jiangnan will be blessed! …

"The imperial court actually sent an envoy here?

And brought two thousand soldiers and horses? "

In Wuchang City, Zuo Liangyu, who lived in a tall and luxurious mansion, looked at the person in front of him and said in confusion.

With disbelief.

This thing is really surprising!
At this time, Zuo Liangyu was simply a local emperor in Wuchang!

There are soldiers and food in your hands.

More importantly, after Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang, he killed all the local officials in Wuchang.

The King of Chu in the Ming Dynasty was also killed by Zhang Xianzhong.

Later, there was a conflict between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong led his people to retreat from here.

In Wuchang City, there are no local officials left.

Zuo Liangyu picked up the leak and returned to Wuchang, where he became the biggest.

The life was still very enjoyable.

But now, after hearing the news, Zuo Liangyu was still surprised and full of confusion.

I always felt that this was too unexpected.

After all, not long ago, Chongzhen was still determined to send troops to the capital to rescue him as soon as possible.

Moreover, in order to allow himself to lead people out, Emperor Chongzhen, who had always been stingy, gave himself the title of Count of Nanning for the first time this time.

At the same time, he also said that as long as the crisis in the capital could be resolved, his family would be able to guard Wuchang for generations.

It is equivalent to saying yes and directly sealing this area to his home.

Among those who received such treatment was Wu Sangui, who led the Guan Ning Army.

Wu Sangui was named Ping Xibo.

Faced with such a huge reward, ever since Li Zicheng and others rose up, Zuo Liangyu has always been strong in torturing the people and fearful of fighting.

I suddenly became excited.

The reward given by Chongzhen this time is really not small!

He immediately gave an answer to Chongzhen, saying that he would definitely lead troops to the capital for rescue.

Then, Zuo Liangyu also took action immediately.

He led his people to carefully study the battle plan and the route of dispatching troops.

Prepare to send troops to rescue the capital.

And then... no more.

Until now, Zuo Liangyu's troops are still circling around Wuchang City...

According to the original history, Zuo Liangyu has been dawdling.

When the city of Peiping was broken and the news came that Chongzhen, the emperor, had hanged himself in Meishan, his soldiers and horses were still trampling on ants in Wuchang.

Never set out.

Zuo Liangyu, who had been dawdling before, was said to have burst into tears after receiving the news.

She even cried until she fainted and vomited blood.

I don't know whether Zuo Liangyu was acting out when he made this scene, or whether he was really sad about the destruction of Peiping and the death of Chongzhen, the emperor.

Crying for Daming and crying for his own future.

Or maybe both...

Zuo Liangyu sat here, frowning slightly, thinking about what was going on.

His own family knows his own affairs.

Although he now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his command, he claims to have an army of 100,000.

In fact, among the 100,000 troops, there are only more than 10,000 who are relatively capable of fighting.

These talents are his direct descendants.

The remaining ones are all the gathered refugees and subdued bandits.

The combat effectiveness is also that.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already become a leader.

He was no longer the Li Zicheng that he had been able to chase away with his men.

In the battle of Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng only caught Li Zicheng who was the first to break out of the encirclement privately and disrupted the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers. He was beaten to death.

Didn't pay much attention to other people.

In that fight, Zuo Liangyu was beaten really badly by that piece of shit Li Zicheng.

All the wealth accumulated over the years was wiped out.

The elite soldiers and horses under his command basically lost little.

Even he almost died.

Now, although he has gathered a lot of people here.

Compared with the previous battle with Li Zicheng in Zhuxian Town, the real power was much weaker.

But Li Zicheng is different.

Li Zicheng's strength was even stronger at this time, and he felt a faint sense of the synergy between heaven and earth.

Under the circumstances, Zuo Liangyu was naturally worried.

Although he was very happy and excited that Chongzhen finally spent a lot of money to confer the title of Nanning Bo in a critical moment and let his family guard Wuchang for generations.

But he was still worried about leading troops to attack Li Zicheng and relieve the siege of Peiping.

I was very afraid that I would be beaten hard by Li Zicheng again and lose my life, or my family fortune.

Losing your family fortune at this time is really fatal!
Why does he have such a special status?
Just because he has soldiers and horses in his hands, even the emperor has to respect himself!

The emperor's willingness to give himself these things was also based on the fact that he had soldiers and horses in his hands.

Therefore, when going to Peiping to rescue the emperor this time, we must make more plans.

Rather, his plan was to march slowly and make adequate preparations first.

He waited until all the troops and horses from all sides were almost there before taking action.

Wu Sangui on the other side of Shanhaiguan was closer to the capital than himself.

Guan Ningjun is also better at fighting than the people under his command, so there is no need for him to act in a hurry.

Take your time, observe the situation first, and let Guan Ningjun and other troops go forward first.

It's not too late for him to take action from behind.

But it is obvious that in today's Ming Dynasty, there are many people who think like Zuo Liangyu.

Wu Sangui thought the same thing and kept going.

The same is true for the four towns in Jiangbei...

Then, they all wanted to let others go first and preserve their own strength.

Thinking that the city of Beiping is high and deep, it is difficult to conquer.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and with the emperor here, it would definitely be able to hold on for a long time before it was broken.

But the real situation is that in just a short period of time, the city of Beiping was destroyed and the emperor died.

Those of them who chose to wait and see were immediately confused...

It turns out that this magnificent Ming Dynasty, which existed for more than two hundred years, collapsed in just an instant!

"Uncle, that's what the man outside said.

Moreover...he even said that he came with an imperial edict under the orders of the emperor.

The emperor, at this time, had abandoned the city of Beiping and went to stay in the capital...

In addition to delivering the imperial edict, I also want you to go to Nanjing to meet the emperor..."

"what?!"

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but stood up suddenly!

He looked very surprised.

He was indeed surprised.

After all, in his imagination, Chongzhen wanted to defend Beiping City.

Otherwise, he would not have summoned his troops to defend the capital.

But now, this... why is this so bad all of a sudden?

Is this something that Chongzhen can do?

Isn’t Chongzhen the most afraid of taking responsibility?

Or... at this time, which minister in the capital would come forward and advocate for the southward move?
Is it Wei Zaode?

Or are you talking about the nobles of the Ming Dynasty?
It seems like none of these people can do such a thing!
"Is what you said true?"

He confirmed again.

"Uncle, that's what those people outside said."

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he seemed a little surprised.

From this point of view, it was really someone in the court who brought up the matter of moving south.

Is it good for the emperor to move south? That’s naturally good!

But what shocked Zuo Liangyu was that at this moment, there were actually officials from the Ming Dynasty who stood up and advocated moving south.

This is Chongzhen’s fault, he didn’t eat enough!
This person is just afraid that he will be unlucky in the future.

Chongzhen is not the kind of person who can take responsibility. He will definitely find opportunities to deal with it in the future...

For a moment, Zuo Liangyu didn't know whether to say that this man was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty or that he was an idiot!
“Dad, what should we do now?
Do you want to... go and greet the imperial envoy? "

Zuo Liangyu's son couldn't help but look at Zuo Liangyu and asked.

Zuo Liangyu stood here thinking for a while and said: "I must meet.

This is the envoy sent by your Majesty, and I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty has sent an envoy, how can I not see him?

No, is that ridiculous? "

After hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, Zuo Liangyu's son nodded beside him: "Dad, in that case, let's change clothes, make some arrangements, and go to greet the imperial envoy!"

After saying that, he got up to do something.

But Zuo Liangyu reached out and stopped him, saying: "Don't be anxious, let the imperial envoy enter Wuchang City and come to see me at my house."

As soon as Zuo Liangyu said these words, his son was immediately confused.

Obviously, he didn't expect that his father would be so tough!

Is this what his father said, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?
"Dad, this...isn't this a little bad?
This is His Majesty's messenger.

I heard that I still came with the imperial edict.

This...this us, are we doing this, is it a bit..."

"A bit arrogant and domineering, right?"

Zuo Liangyu glanced at his son and spoke out what he wanted to say.

Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded with some difficulty.

He looked a little strange.

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu smiled and patted his son on the shoulder:
"Aren't you a lot of arrogant and domineering things that your father and I have done?
But why until now, your father and I have not only not been demoted in official position, but have been promoted all the way up, becoming the general of the thief general, and also obtained the title of Nanning Earl?
Prior to this, Emperor Chongzhen had dismissed me from my position three times in a row.

Let me take the blame and make meritorious deeds.

It can be seen that he has actually wanted to kill me for a long time.

But he didn't dare to kill every time.

Every time I was asked to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. Why was that? It's because your father and I are arrogant and domineering!

Because we have soldiers in our hands!

This is the biggest reliance!

The emperor has moved south, and many things will be different next.

The emperor has sent someone here, so your father and I must do something to make our family's position more secure in the future.

Therefore, this time, it is necessary for the imperial envoy to go into the city to meet your father, instead of your father personally going outside the city to greet the envoy..."

After hearing what his father said, Zuo Mengeng was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

My father's words sounded so arrogant and domineering!
“Dad, do the envoys from the imperial court dare to come?

Moreover, if you do these things, dad, how will the court look at you in the future? "

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "The imperial envoy doesn't dare to talk until he comes.

As for what the court thinks, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the court has been displeased with your father for more than a day or two.

Even if it’s this time and I don’t like it, what can I do?
Now the emperor has abandoned the city of Peiping and gone to Nanjing, which shows that the situation has become worse.

Your father and I have soldiers in our hands, and our status is even more important.

The emperor dare not touch me even more!

And what I did today was also a temptation.

Let’s see where the imperial court’s bottom line is. If we do things with the imperial court in the future, we might as well ask for a higher price…”

After listening to his father's words, Zuo Mengeng always felt that something was wrong.

But seeing that his father insisted on doing this, he stopped trying to persuade him.

He thought about it carefully and felt that what his father said did make some sense.

At this time, it was the court begging his father, not his father begging the court...

……

Outside Wuchang City, Zhu Di listened to what the people coming out of Wuchang City said.

He nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go to the city to see Uncle Nanning."

After saying that, he hit his horse and rode off.

Seeing this, Tie Xuan mobilized his troops and wanted to follow Zhu Di into the city.

The people who appeared in Wuchang City saw this and quickly blocked them from entering the city.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses above the city, as well as Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses at the city gate, were at war with each other!

Seeing this, Zhu Di waved his hands and said: "You all stay here well, I'm just here to announce the decree.

Mr. Nanning is a loyal member of our court and will never act recklessly. "

After that, he took only a hundred personal guards and headed for Wuchang City...

Many of Tie Xuan and Zhu Di's soldiers and horses left outside were secretly worried.

This Wuchang City looks like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

Zuo Liangyu is very domineering!
His Royal Highness King Yan enters at this time, so be sure not to have any accidents... (End of this chapter)
