Chapter 749 Gao Dihua Chen
"Kill!" Countless shouts of Chinese or local dialects sounded, and thousands of people were waving their steel knives or spears in their hands and fighting each other.
Countless people wearing the Ming Dynasty Kan, or just wrapped in a layer of cloth on them with the big Chinese character "Su" lined up in neat rows and rushed forward. The people who were not dressed in neat clothes on the opposite side obviously could not line up such neat rows. Although they were fighting hard, the killed one after another, and were about to retreat into the city behind them.
It seemed as if it was raining at this time, countless arrows shot down from the city and shot towards the Ming army moving forward. In an instant, hundreds of people were caught in arrows and dozens of people fell to the ground.
The generals led the team immediately re-formed and filled the vacant positions of the people who had been shot to the ground before. Many soldiers took out the small round shield from behind and raised it above their heads, and continued to charge forward.
But at this moment, the sound of "公司", "公司" ringing gongs sounded from behind; the generals leading the team were stunned, and then they could only order to withdraw unwillingly.
But after he returned to his tent, he immediately went to the big tent and said to the person sitting upright on it: "Your Highness, you are about to fight under their city gate and completely defeat the Yalu Kingdom. Why did your Highness suddenly call for gold and withdraw his troops?"
The man sitting upright looked only over 20 years old, wearing the Prince's costume of the Ming Dynasty, his skin was neither black nor white, and he had a square face with a square character. Although he was just sitting in the seat, he could feel the heavy majesty coming from him.
He heard the words of the general in front of him and said with a smile: "Cheng'an, why bother to worry?"
"You commanded three thousand households today, wiped out nearly 10,000 enemy troops, and forced into the city of the Yalu people. You have made outstanding achievements and I can see them all."
"But your subordinates have been fighting for a whole day and are already very tired. The so-called "slap of the last arrow" cannot penetrate Lu Bai. If you try harder to attack, you may be defeated by the enemy's counterattack."
"Your Highness, my troops are indeed unable to fight anymore, but your troops can mobilize other troops to replace me and my troops to attack Yalu City!" Cheng An said again.
"It's already late today. Even if you replace the rest of the soldiers with sufficient strength, you may not be able to enter Yalu City before night comes. If you are dragged into the night battle, it will turn into a big melee, our army's advantage will disappear, and we may not be able to win in the chaos. For peace of mind, it's better to have a good rest tonight and wait for another fight tomorrow."
"Besides, I am not in a hurry. Even if I can't break through Yalu City tomorrow, it's nothing. I have patience and the Yalu people." said the young prince.
Cheng An had nothing else to say now, so he bowed and retreated. Then the other generals reported several things one by one, and the young prince dealt with them one by one. After a while, only he and his eunuchs were left in the tent. He lowered his head and sat on the chair, as if thinking about something.
This young prince was Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Su who was named King Su by Yung three years ago and came to the former Three Buddhas as the king two years ago.
Since Zhu Gaoxu was named King Su here in the second year of Jianye, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di first completely eliminated the remaining troops of the local Manzhe Boyi army, executed some of them, and sent most of them to Zhu Zanyi, Guangxi.
Then, the father and son stabilized the local situation, severely hit several of the most powerful temples in the local area, forcing the remaining people to bow to them. Then Zhu Gaoxu ordered the registration of households and the people in the country to register all the people in the country, and completed the control of the local area.
After that, the father and son began to expand to the outside world. Yun Yu defined the scope for them as Sumatra, and they did not have the idea of going against Yun Yu's intentions. It turned out that the Sanfoqi part was located on the easternmost part of Sumatra and close to Java Island, so they began to plan an attack on the Yalu Kingdom to the west.
After a year of preparation, in September of the third year of Jianye last year, Zhu Gaoxu personally led his troops to attack the eastern border of Yalu Kingdom, captured dozens of villages and captured tens of thousands of people.
Of course, the Yalu people would not react without a reaction and immediately counterattacked. However, Zhu Gaoxu was waiting for their counterattack. He successfully ambushed the Yalu people's army on the border, defeated him, and then killed all the prisoners, and only thirty-six people were put back to shock the Yalu people.
After another two months of renovation, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to attack the Yalu Kingdom again, and fought all the way to the city of the Yalu people, and was about to break the Yalu Kingdom.
Since the Yalu Kingdom was about to perish, what he was thinking about was of course nothing to do with the Yalu Kingdom. What he was thinking about was Sumatra and Suwendana in the west of the Yalu Kingdom. These two countries were relatively strong, at least much stronger than his Su vassal now. He could not help but worry about how these two countries that would become neighbors of the Su vassal to treat his Su vassal after the destruction of the Yalu Kingdom.
"Or, let's leave the Yalu Kingdom for the time being and not completely destroy it? Inappropriate, I ordered too many Yalu people to be killed. With the knowledge of these people from South China, if I ask for peace, they would probably think that I was powerless and would ask for a truce. Therefore, they would not be willing to truce on this. Even if they do not have the strength to attack for a large scale, they would send troops to harass the border, which would make me annoyed, so they could only destroy it."
"But how can Sumatra and Suwenda get along after they are destroyed?" Zhu Gaoxu thought hard.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking for the time being and asked the eunuch who was with him to pour water for him.
The eunuch respectfully poured him a glass of water and said, "Your Highness, you should use the one who called yourself "Isolate" when you just spoke."
"Oh, I'm always not used to it." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"But Your Highness must get used to it." said the eunuch.
"Okay, I know. I just talked to the civil and military ministers, so there was no mistake?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile. The eunuch has been following him for more than ten years and is very close, so Zhu Gaoxu also talks to him casually.
The eunuch had to say something else, and suddenly a voice came from outside the tent and said, "Your Highness, Qian'an City (Paukang) urgently reported."
"Come in!" Zhu Gaoxu said immediately. Qian'an City urgently reported, what happened?
A man wearing a special clothing for the messenger came in, knelt down and saluted Zhu Gaoxu, then stood up and said, "Your Highness, the Supreme King ordered his ministers to report urgently: The will from the capital, Your Majesty will conquer Annan, and the four vassal states in the South, Su, Pu, Luo, and Song will send troops. The imperial edict said that each vassal would send thousands of people to conquer Annan together."
"Thousands of people, thousands of people are also quite a few. The Su Fan now has only more than 10,000 Han troops under his command, and the remaining more than 20,000 are local foreigners. They are still attacking the Yalu Kingdom in the west, and they must be guarded against Boyi in the east, so they cannot draw a few people." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Your Highness, the Supreme King also knows this, but the imperial edicts of the court cannot be ignored. Therefore, the Supreme King and the Left Prime Minister decided to send out 1,000 Han troops and 2,000 foreign troops, and mobilize some naval troops to go north to attack Annan. The dispatched naval troops were sent by Chen Zuyi and escort them all the way to Annan." The messenger said.
"The father's handling is very appropriate." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. But he immediately said, "Who leads the troops?"
"The Supreme King said that in order to show the court that Su Fan attaches great importance to this matter, one of His Highness and the Supreme King must go there. His Highness was fighting with Yalu Kingdom again at this time, so the Supreme King personally led his troops to Annan and left his left to stay with Gan'an City." The messenger said.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded again and said, "But there is anything else?"
"Your Highness, nothing else is done." The messenger said.
"Then you go back." Zhu Gaoxu said. The messenger ordered the soldiers to salute and retreat.
When he stepped down, Zhu Gaoxu said to himself: "No, you have to speed up the attack on the Yalu Kingdom, and you can't delay it for a long time. Fortunately, although you could have delayed it before, it didn't delay for a few days."
He suddenly shouted: "Come in!"
Hearing his roar, the people guarding outside the tent hurried in.
"You will come to see the orphan immediately!" Zhu Gaoxu said.
...
...
On the pier outside Gan'an City in Nanyang, Zhu Di said to Su Fan's left prime minister Hua Ying: "Hua Ying, I will go to Annan now, and Gan'an City will be handed over to you to take care of you."
"Prince King, please rest assured. I will definitely guard Gan'an City for Your Highness." Hua Ying said.
Hearing him say 'guard for Your Highness', Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything about it, but said: "But it should not be necessary for you to guard for a few days. After Gao Xu knew about this, he would definitely destroy the Yalu Kingdom as soon as possible to withdraw his troops and return to Gan'an City. You don't have to worry too much."
"Yes, the Supreme King." Hua Ying said.
Zhu Di told him a few more words and immediately ordered the ship to start. The ship immediately left the dock and headed towards the dock on the Leizhou Peninsula.
Zhu Di looked at Gan'ancheng for a while, then turned around and walked into the cabin.
As soon as he walked into the cabin, Zhu Di smiled at someone in front of him and said, "I just asked you to send your subordinates to escort Lu Shi to the Ming Dynasty. Why did you personally bring the fleet to escort?"
The man in front of him heard Zhu Di's voice, as if he was very afraid of him, he immediately stood up and said, "The Supreme King went to Guangdong and Guangxi in person, how can I not escort him personally?"
This man was Chen Zuyi, who was famous in the South China Sea in his previous life, and was domineering in the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea for decades. He was finally captured alive by a fleet led by Zheng He and later sent to the capital to execute him.
When Zhu Gaoxu was named a vassal king here, he was occupying the Bolin Kingdom not far from the Three Buddhas, claiming to be the king of the country. He had hundreds of large and medium-sized ships under his command, and thousands of small boats that had made up the number, which was equivalent to the two naval guards of the Ming Dynasty.
In the last life, Zheng He only came to Southeast Asia to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and wasted money and food, so he used the means of elimination to treat people like Chen Zuyi very directly. However, in this life, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di came to explore the territory. The first thing that came to think of the powerful nearby forces was not to eliminate, but to persuade surrender. Of course, this may also be related to their determination to prevent the navy at that time.
