Feng Guoyong looked at Zhu Wenzheng, and his heart surged over and over again... There is no doubt that letting this high-ranking nephew attack Shaanzhou can boost morale, but at the same time, if it fails or Zhu Wenzheng is damaged, the consequences will be more serious, almost
It's not something he can bear. How to make a decision is really difficult.
"Captain Feng, at this point, is it still necessary to look forward and backward?" Zhu Wenzheng suddenly said: "This decisive battle in the Central Plains involves millions of soldiers and horses. Zhu Wenzheng is just a pawn under the Ming Dynasty. Life or death does not matter. If the Governor is suspicious,
Uncertainty will delay the opportunity for war and ruin the overall situation. When the time comes, the Governor-General will not only miss the Ming Dynasty, but also miss the world. What will you look like in the face of eternal history?"
Feng Guoyong was stunned and suddenly said: "Commander Zhu, I'm not thinking about that! I just want to ask you, can you go to Shaanxi Province with your help?"
Zhu Wenzheng laughed and said, "No one is more suitable than me!"
Feng Guoyong hesitated again. At this time, Guo Xing suddenly stood up and reminded in a low voice: "The Governor, his tent is full of Mongolian soldiers!"
This sentence shocked Feng Guoyong. Then he remembered that the troops commanded by Zhu Wenzheng were the Mongolian prisoners who had fought against Ni Wenjun in Tongling... After that battle, Lao Zhu selected more than 5,000 soldiers.
The army was organized into the Guangwu Army, with Zhu Wenzheng as its commander.
In other words, Zhu Wenzheng had an advantage that no one could match. He could use his subordinates' proficiency in Mongolian language and habits to boldly penetrate and capture Shaanxi Province quickly.
Indeed, no one is more suitable than him!
What should we do after we capture Shaanzhou?
"The city of Shaanzhou is not big, and there is not much food and grass. It is not easy to garrison it for a long time!"
At this time, Deng Yu stood up and said, "Grand Governor, although there is not much food in Shaanzhou, across the Yellow River, across from Jiezhou, there are salt ponds there. In order to supply the salt workers with food, clothing and flowers, there must be grain stores. And because of the Yellow River
The Yuan army's defense is lax. As long as we can capture Jiezhou quickly, transport food and grass as quickly as possible, and return to Shaanzhou. If we stick to it for two or three months, there will be no problem. It will be enough to buy time for us to take over and defeat Chahan!"
Having said this, Feng Guoyong couldn't help but be moved.
He pondered over and over again, and finally waved his fist, "Okay, that's it! Zhu Wenzheng, you are the main general, Deng Yu, Zhao Desheng, you will be his deputies, a total of 12,000 troops, divided into 12 thousand households.
Disguise yourself, insert it for me, and use the fastest speed to capture Shaanzhou, save food and grass, and deal with the Yuan army!"
When the three generals heard this, they bowed together. They were overjoyed, but they also felt stressed and excited.
Starting from Songzhou and other places, the nearest one is more than three hundred miles away, and there are mountains and rivers in the middle. The road is difficult and it is very difficult to walk at ordinary times. What's more, it is really difficult to march in a hurry.
Zhu Wenzheng could only order his subordinates to discuss countermeasures collectively.
Surprisingly, under Zhu Wenzheng's command, there were actually many Mongolians from Shaanxi and Gansu. They had fought with the Beishuo Red Turbans in Nanyang and other places back then, and they were very familiar with the terrain of this area.
In addition, Ding Pulang sent more than 200 old people with red scarves from Beisuo, including Bu Wangsan's cousin.
Two groups of people who were enemies in the past got together and actually wanted to serve as guides for the Ming army.
No matter how you look at it, this thing is magical.
"Commander Zhu, because of this, I believe that we will win this battle!" Deng Yu said excitedly: "Looking at the world, only the superiors have such a broad mind, can tolerate the world, and command heroes! No matter who they are, they are all for my use.
Let me ask you, if we had killed all the Mongolian captives, how could we be as prosperous as we are today? If we had not sacrificed to Peng Yingyu, how could Ding Pulang and others have returned to their homes? A sea that is open to all rivers is great, and this is what we need to win!"
Zhu Wenzheng believed deeply and nodded vigorously, but then said: "Actually, when I mentioned Shaanxi Province, I also thought of another hero. He held on to Shaanxi Province for more than a year. Let's make a discount and say that he will hold on to Shaanxi Province for at least half a year."
Deng Yu pondered for a moment, but he also thought of what Zhu Wenzheng said. He suddenly sighed, "I, I thought of the conversation between Prime Minister Zhang and Duke Tang!"
At this time, Zhao Desheng also followed, thought for a while, and murmured: "Yes, how can the ancestors protect their descendants? What can they leave us, nothing more than great rivers and mountains, and the courage and methods to face crises...
…Thousands of years of history are our everlasting source of wisdom!”
Zhu Wenzheng was looking ahead, suddenly looked back at his soldiers, whipped out his saber, "Let's go!"
The officers and soldiers under their command took action immediately. This special Ming army was transformed into a dozen squads. Under the guidance of their respective guides, they decisively crossed and headed towards the destination!
Just after they left, Feng Guoyong immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, escorted Aruwen, and came towards Ruzhou with great swagger and momentum.
These are the two hands of light and darkness.
Through Aruwen, he attracted Chahan's attention, made him relax his vigilance, and bought Zhu Wenzheng time... This decisive battle involving millions of people was about to begin.
After Zhu Wenzheng successfully captured Shaanzhou, Feng Guoyong would send his army to attack Ruzhou and threaten Luoyang to create pressure on the Yuan army.
And if a war breaks out here, the Shandong Ming army will march out of Jining with thunderous momentum within a few days and directly take Guide Mansion.
Eighty thousand elite troops under the command of Xu Da have already gathered in Caozhou. Once the battle begins, Xu Da will lead his troops through the old route of the Yellow River and decisively attack Yi Feng.
Chang Yuchun commanded the boat division and stormed Guide Mansion. The two armies moved westward from both sides of the Yellow River, planning to meet up at Bianliang and fight against Chahan in Kaifeng.
At almost the same time, Mao Gui led a reorganized Shandong Red Scarf force and marched north to prevent Yuan Ting's reinforcements and protect the flanks of the Ming army.
Hu Dahai commanded the general reserve force, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang's sage, as a supporting force, dispatched at any time to replenish consumption, make up for omissions... and as the final mobile force, determine the outcome of this battle.
More than 200,000 Shandong Ming troops, 50,000 to 60,000 Nanyang Ming troops, as many as one million Shandong, Jianghuai civilians, and even 20 to 30 million Ming civilians were all functioning from top to bottom.
The huge war machine is operating in the most efficient way. This is the case in Nanyang, Jining, Yingtian, Jiangzhou, Wuchang... and even Lingnan.
The Ganjiang waterway is crowded with merchant ships. Refined iron, grain, and even brown sugar sent from Lingnan are sent to Jinling one by one, and then continue to be transferred northward from Jinling.
Zhu Ying had established a firm foothold in Guangzhou and began to exert force.
In Yingtian City, Queen Ma also left the palace. She personally went to various workshops to inspect the production of military armor, inspected grain, and went to the quilt factory to inspect military uniforms.
Especially go to the herbal medicine store to check out the golden sore medicine for soldiers.
Queen Ma, who had always been gentle and kind, beheaded five businessmen in a row within seven days. The bloody heads were hung on the wall of Yingtian City.
Anyone who dares to pass off inferior products and delay the military's mission will directly destroy the nine tribes!
The queen's thunderbolt tactics made everyone tremble with fear.
Including the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, no one dared to say a word. Li Shanchang was very frightened. He spent all day in Zhongshu Province, from morning to night, handling government affairs, and sometimes he had to work around the clock.
Everyone understands that if Zhang Xiang thinks you deserve to die, then you may not die, but you will definitely be infamy for thousands of years, and life is worse than death.
If His Majesty thinks you deserve to die, there is a high probability that you will die, but there is still a slight chance that you can survive.
But if the queen thinks you deserve to die, not only will you die, but you will most likely be infamy for thousands of years!
From this we can draw a conclusion that the deterrent power of Queen Ma is approximately equal to the sum of Zhang Ximeng plus Zhu Yuanzhang.
In addition, there were two women who also performed very well. One was Jiang Nan from the Du branch. She was ordered to inspect warehouses in various places to verify the amount of military rations. More than 20 officials fell in her hands.
The other is Han Xiuniang, a female worker from an ordinary family, who passed the business examination through self-study. Due to her outstanding performance in Dayuling Commercial Customs, she was transferred to the Yingtian Taxation Department, where she was responsible for mobilizing private workshops, mobilizing transportation capacity, and supporting logistics and transportation.
Han Xiuniang raised 3,000 large and small ships and recruited 200,000 cattle and horses in a short period of time. The work efficiency was astonishingly high.
As of now, no one in Zhongshu Province dares to underestimate female officials... Even though they are not many in number, their ability to break out of tight sieges and hold power is something special.
Even the old bureaucrats had to work hard.
If it were just a yamen or an official, they would do some jaw-dropping operations that would make you marvel at the diversity of human beings and the richness of species.
But when the entire country is functioning and 20 million people are united in one heart and one mind, the power that bursts out is as powerful as the water of the Yellow River, and no one can stop it.
The support from the rear was like a rolling wave, sending force after force to the front of the army.
Chahan Timur is very strong, and his soldiers and horses are not weak either. But his chances of winning are really not that great...
"Aruwen, look, Chahan chose Wang Baobao as his adopted son, who will inherit his position in the future. You are also Chahan Timur's biological father...are you the biological father?" Ding Pu
Lang said with a smile: "I heard that Chahan gave himself the Chinese name Li Chahan... Think about it, is there anyone named Li in your family? Do you know anything about it?"
Aruwen simply closed his eyes and didn't bother to say another word.
Shameless red thief!
Next work!
Ding Pulang was unwilling to let him go, and continued: "I have no other intention, just thinking that if you can tell the truth and prove that Chahan is a Han, or prove that Wang Baobao is also a Han, then father and son will surrender together."
That’s it, you don’t have to fight at all, that’s great!”
Ding Pulang paused and then said: "It's just that it's a bit unfair to you. Your son and daughter are not your biological children. It's really miserable! But for your merits, we will definitely ask the superiors to make you a marquis!"
"
"You, you are shameless!"
Aruwen was so angry that he cursed loudly. He had been suffering from low blood pressure for many years and was finally cured by Ding Pulang.
While they were having a pleasant conversation, Chahan's envoy arrived and asked Feng Guoyong to release him immediately.
"We have already crossed the river and removed the siege from Kaifeng. Please let them go as soon as possible!"
Feng Guoyong chuckled, "There are hundreds of thousands of you, and we only have one. You evacuate thousands of people, and then you ask us to release them. This is not fair! How about this, let us take good care of the old man and raise him well."
Bai Bai is fat and fat, let him be happy and strong every day. Then after you have evacuated most of him, we will find an auspicious day here, fast and bathe, and make sacrifices to heaven and earth, so that we can send the old man back!"
Before Feng Guoyong could say anything, Aruwen suddenly shouted, "Hurry, take me back! Let me go back! If I stay for a moment longer, I will die! Tell Chahan that if he doesn't want his biological father
If it’s dead, just drag it down and wait for me to collect the body!”
