Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 88 Li Jinglong, we still underestimated you!
It seems that the fourth child even won the battle and became emperor?
But the problem is, even if you don’t count the older Tang He or the sick Xu Da, there are so many famous generals like Li Wenzhong, Chang Mao, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu that they can’t defeat them with an entire country. A fourth child?

How can this be? !
Could it be that the emperor's grandson was so stupid that he forced all the noble military officials to join the fourth son's camp? Can people be so stupid?
And what Zhu Yuanzhang is even more unwilling to believe is that although he doesn't know whether the emperor's grandson is Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Yunxi, he shouldn't choose such a fool as his successor who can force all noble military officials to rebel, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to read, and he soon realized from between the lines that the problem seemed to be more serious than he thought. It seemed that it was not the emperor's grandson who forced the noble military ministers to rebel.

Because whether in the Yan Army camp or the Ming Army camp, he never saw the names of those famous generals!

Who were the generals who led the Ming army to the battlefield?
Geng Bingwen, Guo Ying, Gu Cheng, Li Jinglong, Wu Jie, Ping An, Sheng Yong. Except for Geng Bingwen, Guo Ying, Gu Cheng and other veterans who are relatively reliable, what the hell are the rest of them?
Li Jinglong's ability to train troops and coordinate staff is at the level of a first-rate general, and his command on the battlefield is only at the level of a second-rate general. He can command an army of hundreds of thousands, and he can still win the battle evenly if the enemy is dull and weak. But if he encounters a cunning and powerful opponent, it will be a disaster.

As for Wu Jie and Ping An, although these are quite close nephews to Zhu Yuanzhang, when it comes to fighting, they are really incomparable to their fathers. As for Sheng Yong, I have never heard of them.

So, why were these generals leading the Ming army? Where have those famous generals gone?
This is obviously a question worth thinking about, and after consecutive defeats, the Ming army still did not replace these famous generals, which means that they are neither in the Yan army camp nor in the Ming army camp.

Could it be that the emperor's grandson first chopped off the heads of these famous generals, and then went to cut off the feudal lords?

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. It should be impossible. The emperor's grandson dared to cut down the feudal vassal, but he would never dare to cut off all these famous generals. Even the fourth son could not wait to beheaded, let alone these outstanding military achievements. You are a famous general. Are you really not afraid that the whole army will rebel and just change the emperor?

So there is only one possibility, that is, these famous generals are dead.

So, who killed all these famous generals? The Beiyuan invasion could not do this, so Zhu Yuanzhang got a very reasonable guess.

——The one who killed all these people was Zhu Yuanzhang himself!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully. If Biao'er died because of acclimatization, then he might indeed be able to kill the hero when there was no successor.

Moreover, the remaining veterans, such as Geng Bingwen, Gu Cheng, Guo Ying, and He Fu, are indeed loyal and reliable in character, with average abilities and never domineering. This type of general will neither The new emperor poses a threat and can deal with some conventional wars. It seems very much like it was arranged by him.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he might have killed Li Wenzhong, Chang Mao, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu.

He clenched the broken page in his hand. They must not let them know about this!

Otherwise, I am afraid that it will cause the generals to become disloyal.

After all, Fu Youde had already been promoted to Duke Ying in the 17th year of Hongwu. As for Lan Yu, his qualifications were younger than Fu Youde's. If he didn't have great merit, then according to the seniority ranking, he would have to wait a few years before he could get his turn in the next round.

But in any case, these people are in fact the only remaining Dukes of the Ming Dynasty or those who are about to become Dukes among the Marquises. They are the undisputed top leaders of the Ming army. If they are allowed to know, they will be in the predicted future. He would kill them all, which would inevitably lead to discord between the monarch and his ministers.

Therefore, this secret can only be known to myself, no one can tell it, and it must be kept secret forever!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang could screen the future predicted by this fragment of page based on the performance of the ministers who appeared in it, and then decide whether to reuse or discard it.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the surrounding ministers, including the imperial guards and military ministers, to retreat far away, and then confirmed to Yin Yang Qihai.

"Were Li Wenzhong, Chang Mao, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu all killed?"

"There are also people who died of illness, but most of them were killed."

After hearing this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uneasy for a while.

He would actually kill them all.

He actually had such an almost crazy old age. Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, feeling a little melancholy.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that this fragment of page was just a prediction of the future, and everything that had not happened was uncountable.

"A normal mind." Zhu Yuanzhang comforted himself, and then continued to read.

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer maintain his composure because he saw the performance of Geng Bingwen and Gu Cheng after the defeat of Zhending and the court replaced Li Jinglong as the coach.

"Xinwei fought with Jinglong at Zhengcunba. The king used his fine cavalry to defeat seven of his camps first. The generals followed. Jinglong was defeated and rushed back."

"Jinglong came to the rescue from Zijingguan, but the king had retreated and retreated. Many of Jinglong's soldiers died of cold, and they returned without seeing the enemy."

"Beheaded tens of thousands and drowned more than 100,000 people. Guo Ying collapsed to the west and Jinglong collapsed to the south. They lost all the seals, axes and axes they had given them, and fled to Dezhou."

"In the fifth month of Guiyou, the king entered Dezhou, and Jinglong went to Jinan. In Gengchen, he attacked Jinan and defeated Jinglong's army in the city."

After reading a few more paragraphs, Zhu Yuanzhang's blood pressure was soaring rapidly, and his hands were shaking with anger.

"Waste! Waste! What else will this waste do besides defeat the battle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out dozens of steps in person, gritted his teeth and ordered to Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was staying outside: "Call us the fourth son and Li Jinglong! No, tie them up with ropes! Then send a telegram to the Zhejiang Governor Envoy, tell Wenzhong that he should have another son as soon as possible."

The commander of the Jin Yiwei made Mao Xiang a little confused. Of course he did not dare to really tie up Zhu Di and Li Jinglong, but the emperor's order had to be carried out. He hurriedly took people to the Wei Guogong Mansion and Cao Guogong Mansion to find people.

Zhu Yuanzhang rested for a while, and after his blood pressure was no longer so high, he continued to read the remaining pages alone.

When he saw the record of the Jingnan War entering its third year, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little solemn.

"On Yisi in the eleventh month, the king himself paid tribute to the soldiers who died in the north and south. At that time, the king had been in the army for three years.

In the battle formation, he risked arrows and stones, led the troops with his own body, and often took advantage of the victory to drive north, but he was often in danger.

The conquered city was restored to the imperial guard after the soldiers left, and only the three prefectures of Beiping, Baoding and Yongping were occupied.

Wang Nai said with emotion: "After years of military use, when will it end?" We must fight against the river and never look back.

December Bingyin, the comeback master! "

After three years of fighting, fighting one country in one place, it was not easy for Lao Si. However, he still had the determination to break the boat. It is hard not to think of the battle in history when Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han in the battle of Julu.

The trajectory of the subsequent war was indeed similar to Xiang Yu's story. Lao Si went all the way south, completely defeated the main force of the Ming army in Lingbi, and then crossed the river to seize the world.

"Li Jinglong waited for the king to open the door, but the capital fell to Li Jinglong. We still underestimated you! In addition to defeating the battle, you will also open the door and surrender!"
