Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 126 Let me end this troubled world with my own hands

He didn't want Ming Dynasty to lose too much vitality in the subsequent war.

Nowadays, the tiles in the north are gradually getting stronger, and the trend of unifying the Mobei grasslands is getting stronger and stronger.

In the northwest, due to Zhu Yunwen's reduction of vassals, the originally strong King Su took the initiative to reduce the number of troops and horses, reducing the scope of his strategic defense.

As a result, the Hetao area will also be lost.

The foreign troubles of the Ming Dynasty have not been eliminated, but the civil war breaks out again, which is likely to lead to the decline of the Ming Dynasty's luck, and then he will also be unlucky.

Bai Chu then spoke again:

"I ask the prince to lead 20,000 elite troops from the sea to the foot of Yingtian City, defeat Yingtian City in one fell swoop, cut off its foundation, and drain the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

This time, the entire meeting hall exploded.

After all, this plan is very possible, but also very dangerous.

As long as one step goes wrong, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.

But now Bai Chu actually invited Yan King Zhu Di to personally implement this appalling plan.

Everyone expressed their disapproval, and Yang Shiqi stood up and said:

“Your Majesty’s body of thousands of gold and heavy burden of thousands of pounds are all tied to Your Majesty, how can you take risks so easily?”

"Mr. Bai's plan can be implemented by sending only one general. There is no need for the prince to go."

"Now the safety of the 140,000 troops lies with the prince. Please think twice."

Others also spoke out to dissuade him, not wanting Zhu Di to get hot-headed and follow Bai Chu to carry out the plan to steal the house.

The level of danger is too high. He is clearly a gambler. Either you die or I die, there is no room for error.

Bai Chu was also helpless. If Zhu Di hadn't gone to Yingtian City in person, he wouldn't have been able to absorb the Ming Dynasty's luck in the city, and might even have been suppressed by Zhu Yunzhen's luck.

Even if he goes there, it will be in vain. Only Zhu Di can absorb all the luck from Zhu Yunzhen.

Zhu Di also looked at Bai Chu at this time and asked hesitantly:

"Mr. Bai, do you have to go in person?"

Everyone fell silent immediately, all looking at Bai Chu.

Bai Chu didn't seem to notice anything, he just nodded calmly and said:

"It must be your prince!"

Zhu Di suddenly began to ponder, not knowing what he was thinking.

The generals naturally opposed it with all their strength, saying that even if they faced the enemy head-on, Li Jinglong was no match, so why take such risks?

After hearing what everyone said, Zhu Di finally made up his mind and said something shocking.

After hearing everyone's advice, Zhu Di slowly exhaled and said:

"I have decided to follow Mr. Bai south to Yingtian City to completely end this war of appeasement!"

"What??!!"

Everyone in the venue was immediately horrified and looked at Zhu Di in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, don't be so radical! The balance of the war is tilting towards us. As long as we follow the steps, our army will surely win."

Yang Shiqi was also admonishing him at this time. No one wanted Zhu Di to be so aggressive.

It's like a gamble. No one knows what the outcome will be until the dust settles.

It's already a guaranteed win, so why risk all your wealth on a life-or-death gamble?

Everyone was puzzled, but Zhu Di slowly explained the reason.

Zhu Di glanced at everyone, and then said softly:

"It has been more than half a year since Jingnan launched his army."

"But before that, the old monk Mr. Bai and I have been preparing for nearly two years."

"It was Mr. Bai's appearance that woke me up and made me realize that there was absolutely no way for me and Zhu Yunwen to coexist." "It was precisely because of Mr. Bai that I made up my mind to launch this battle."

"During this period, I was jealous of my father, was tripped up by Zhu Yunzhen, and was even besieged by Huang Zicheng and hundreds of elites from the capital outside the capital. When my life was hanging by a thread, it was Mr. Bai who stepped forward.

Save me from danger. "

"I believe Mr. Bai will not harm me. Since he said that only I can end this chaos, then it must be me. He is my most trusted partner."

"Enough people died in the Jingnan rebellion. Most of the people in Hebei, Shandong and other places fled. They didn't even want their land, and they still insisted on avoiding the disaster of the war."

"I don't want this war to continue into next year or even the year after that. I want to end the war as soon as possible and give the people time to recuperate. This is a war I started, and I will do it myself."

Just end it. "

Zhu Di's eyes finally stopped on Bai Chu. His trust in Bai Chu could be said to be 100%, without any doubt.

Bai Chu had rescued him from danger many times, and had made many ingenious plots. More importantly, Zhu Di knew Bai Chu's identity, and he believed in Bai Chu.

This time, too!

Even so, Zhang Yu still didn't want Zhu Di to be in danger himself, so he tried to persuade him: "But, Your Majesty."

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt, and then ordered:

"Generals, listen to your orders!!"

"After I leave, I order Zhang Yu to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army and build seven forts on the north bank of Baigou River. It is necessary to intercept the main force of the southern army on the south bank of Baigou River."

"Everyone should obey the orders and hold on to the barriers. No one is allowed to take the initiative to fight. Wait for the news of my victory and return."

"Peiping was handed over to Gao Chi and the old monk for defense. After Gao Xu returned from pacifying Liaodong, he stationed himself in Beiping City."

"In this battle, you all should focus on defense and drain the morale of the southern army. After I take Yingtian City, everything will be settled."

"Everyone, I hope to see you in wealth and honor in the future!!"

Zhu Di's will was very strong, and everyone knew Zhu Di's temper. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he never said it out loud.

After everyone left, Zhu Di left behind Bai Chu and old monk Yang Shiqi, who obviously had something to say.

"Mr. Bai, Japanese pirates are raging in the East China Sea. I would like to ask, what should we do if we encounter Japanese pirates on the way?"

Zhu Di was actually a little anxious in his heart, wanting to get more precise information from Bai Chu.

Bai Chu just smiled softly and said:

"My lord, don't worry. The sea is my world. If there are really blind pirates or Japanese bandits, I will definitely send them all to the Lord of Hell to report."

Seeing that Bai Chu was so confident, Zhu Di stopped talking and instead told the old monk:

"Old monk, the fate of this trip south is unpredictable. If you stay in Beiping Mansion, you must protect our foundation, assist Gao Chi, and manage Beiping well."

"Transport food and grass to the soldiers on the front line, and appease the people in the rear."

"All of this will fall on you and Scholar Yang."

"Both of you are talented people in the world. I hope you can assist the good prince and persist until I take Yingtian City."

The old monk and Yang Shiqi bowed down and said loudly:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if we are shattered to pieces, we will try our best to keep Peking safe."

"It's just that when the prince goes south, he must pay attention to his own safety."
