Chapter 102: After ten years of sharpening a sword, Yingzhou is victorious!
And Zhu Di also had some doubts. Can Zhu Houzhao, a young emperor who had never led an army before, withstand the Mongol prince with a brilliant record?
Zhu Di did not ask Zhu Houzhao to defeat the little prince, as long as he did not lose too badly.
He really didn't want to see the Ming Dynasty stage the humiliation of the Tumubao Incident again.
[Facing the little Mongolian prince who makes everyone blush, you not only have no fear in your heart, but you are also looking forward to the confrontation with him. 】
[You rushed to the important town of Xuanfu, but did not find the Mongols, so you continued to march and arrived at Yanghe, the most dangerous military front of the Ming army. You took over all the troops in the defensive line, just like an old general on the stage,
There are flags behind him.]
[You built a "Zhenguo Mansion" on this most dangerous front, renamed yourself "Zhu Shou", and named yourself "Zhenguo Gong". Not long after, you wrote a letter to Wang Xun, the commander-in-chief of Datong.
The letter asked Wang Xun to stick to the city, and the signature was even more bizarre - "Governor-General Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer, Zhenguo Duke Zhu Shou"]
[This is your usual style. I don’t know that Wang Xun was stunned for a long time after receiving the letter. Wang Xun has been at the border for many years, but he has never heard of such a thing as a "mighty general", and he is a fucking prince!
】
[A hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of military honors awarded the title of Duke. When did there become such a majestic and powerful figure as the "Zhen Guo Gong"? 】
[In addition to conferring official titles on yourself, you are very meticulous in your work. You also set a salary for yourself, and ordered the Ministry of War to file it. The Ministry of Household Affairs will give "Mighty General Zhu Shou" and "Zhen Guo Gong Zhu Shou" on time every month.
Pay wages. If you don't pay salaries, you will use your status as emperor to dismiss the Minister of Household Affairs from office on the charge of "embezzling military pay." Although you pay yourself wages, you still have to go through the process.]
[After doing all this, you touched your chin and nodded with satisfaction: "Well~it must be me, General Zhu Shou~"]
Zhu Di burst out laughing when he saw this.
What the hell is this!
Degrading yourself from an emperor to a duke?!
Are you going to give yourself a salary?!
I guess the Minister of Household Affairs at that time was stunned when he heard about this. He also had to pay wages to the inexplicably extra people?
Isn’t this nonsense!
The key is that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has to obey, because if he does not give voice to the "mighty general Zhu Shou", the mighty general Zhu Shou will immediately transform into his immediate boss, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and kill this poor man.
The Minister of Household Affairs was dismissed from office.
absurd!
How ridiculous!
Throughout the ages, there has never been such a ridiculous thing!
[In October of the twelfth year of Zhengde, Wang Xun, the commander-in-chief of Datong, came to report that a young Mongolian prince led an army of 50,000 to attack. 】
[At this time, all the old, young, sick, and disabled under your command cannot reach 50,000 men. Given such a disadvantage, Wang Xun knew that the possibility of victory was slim, so he hurriedly petitioned you to move.]
[But you sat firmly on the mountain and said quietly: "Why should you let me go? Why can't you let him go?"]
[Wang Xun was stunned, thinking you were just messing around, and he was already ready to die for his country.]
[And you think that you have worked so hard to come all the way here and built a national government, just to run away when the enemy comes? What a joke! Not only did you not run away, you also gave up defense and chose to take the initiative!
】
[You give the order lightly:
"Liaodong General Xiao Chu, Xuanfu Travel Notes Shichun, led the troops to garrison Yanghe Settlement Fort and Tiancheng. Yansui General Hangxiong, deputy general Zhu Luan, guerrilla general Zhou Zheng, garrisoned Yanghe, Pinglu, Weiwu, etc.
Land, the above troops must be assembled within ten days and are ready for dispatch at any time! Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished!"]
[At this moment, the playful and ridiculous emperor disappeared, replaced by a calm and composed general who had experienced battles in the battlefield. 】
[The little prince a hundred miles away seemed to sense something. He suddenly ordered the army to change its route, turn sharply south, and advance towards Wang Xun's troops. 】
[After learning of this change, you did not panic and made corresponding deployment adjustments:
"Liaodong Counselor Xiao Chu and Xuanfu guerrilla general Shichun left their bases to quickly support Wang Xun. Deputy commander-in-chief Zhu Luan and guerrilla general Zhou Zheng set out today to follow the Tatar army and are not allowed to fight without authorization. Xuanfu commander-in-chief Zhu Zhen
, General Zuo Qin immediately sent out troops to garrison Yanghe and was not allowed to go into battle. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished!"]
[Although Jiang Bin, the border general, realized that the emperor seemed to have changed, he still gave a friendly reminder: "Long live Lord, this kind of troops is still not enough, we can't win."
[But you ignored it and turned to look outside the cold and chilly pass, as if you were looking at the little Mongolian Tatar prince who was galloping on the battlefield and rarely suffered a defeat. You murmured softly: "It's such a strong wind. After decades,
Before, King Zhu Gaojie of Qiwu defeated you. As time goes by, I can still defeat you!"]
Zhu Di was already rubbing his chin, thinking about going out to exterminate the Tatars next year!
I heard that the little Mongolian prince in the Zhengde Dynasty was very powerful and did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously?
Okay, I, Zhu Di, will directly destroy your ancestors during the Yongle Dynasty!
I will directly lead my troops to the hinterland of Mobei, dig up the Tatar tribe by the roots, and spare no one. The ant pits will be flooded for you, and the eggs will be shaken for you to turn yellow!
Without his ancestors, where did the little Mongolian Tatar prince come from?
Although this is somewhat unreasonable, Zhu Di has never been a reasonable person!
[In October of the twelfth year of Zhengde, Jiachen. The war started in Yingzhou, Shanxi, and the Battle of Yingzhou officially began. 】
[Wang Xun did not have enough troops, but the timely support from Liaodong General Xiao Cu and Xuanfu guerrilla general Shi Chun gave him timely support. He ordered the entire army to fight to the death and insisted on the arrival of the large troops. 】
[At the same time, in order to confuse the enemy and delay time, he ordered a violent charge as soon as the battle began. This desperate strategy really confused the little prince. He mistakenly believed that the opponent was the elite main force of the Ming army, and there were many of them, so,
He did not dare to fight Wang Xun, but ordered to defend instead of attack. The two sides fought fiercely all day, and at dusk, the little prince suddenly found that he had been deceived by Wang Xun. The little prince was very angry, and he ordered the entire army to dispatch
, surrounded the Ming army. However, it was already night now, and considering the safety of the troops, he ordered the army to wait until dawn was visible before attacking.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Early the next morning, heavy fog fell from the sky, and it was impossible to see anything five steps away. Wang Xun took this opportunity to get out of the gap in the encirclement,
He sneaked into Yingzhou City. But when the fog cleared, Wang Xun inexplicably found that there was a group of people around him. It turned out that Zhu Luan, the deputy commander in charge of the tracking task, could not see him due to the heavy fog, so he also entered without any explanation.
Arrive at Yingzhou City.]
[The Ming army became stronger and stronger. The little prince finally lost his patience and ordered an attack on the city.]
[But before he was ready, the Ming army actually took the initiative to attack again, and the little prince had no choice but to fight.]
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really useful. Download it here. yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
[It turns out that the nearby Ming army received your order and came to reinforce one after another. Wang Xun once again saw the dawn of victory. He repeated his old trick and ordered to take the initiative to attack the Mongolian army front and rear. However, their opponents were 50,000 elite soldiers.
Mongolian cavalry.]
[The little prince is an excellent military talent. He made an accurate judgment in a very short period of time: although the enemy army received reinforcements, its strength was still insufficient. He calmly ordered that the troops be divided into two parts, fight separately, and maintain
A certain distance to prevent the two Ming armies from joining together.】
[Wang Xun could no longer do anything he could this time, and they were finally divided and surrounded. You called Jiang Bin and ordered the troops to be gathered to reinforce Wang Xun. Jiang Bin looked at you doubtfully: "Where are the soldiers?
”]
[You said the answer. "I previously ordered Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, and Zhang Zhong to lead their troops to fight, and they have arrived now."]
[Jiang Bin finally understood what Zhu Houzhao was waiting for a few days ago.]
[Ding Wei, you personally led the army from Yanghe and advanced towards Yingzhou. You looked in the direction of Yingzhou and chuckled: "Have you fought enough? Now, it's my turn to play."]
[Wang Xun in the encirclement seemed to be desperate, because from any aspect, it was impossible for anyone to come to reinforce him. At dawn, the Mongolian army launched another charge. Wang Xun led his troops to resist, but they still could not withstand the attack.
】
[At this moment, you finally arrived, without taking any rest, and immediately ordered the army to attack the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army was unable to prevent it and retreated across the board, and the three armies merged. 】
[Although the little prince did not know the true identity of this opponent. However, he still did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He secretly gathered the main force and prepared to fight to the death with "Mighty General Zhu Shou"! 】
[The next day, the fog was still thick and visibility was extremely low. The Mongolian army set up a formation and prepared for the final attack. When the fog cleared, the little prince was surprised to find that the Ming army on the opposite side had already lined up neatly and was waiting eagerly.
Hold him.]
[You draw out your sword and roar angrily: "March! Drive these wolf cubs away and kill them all!"]
[The battle began. Faced with the sudden charge of the Ming army, the little prince also fought for his life. All the Mongolian cavalry rushed out like a tide. Nearly 100,000 people from both sides started a desperate fight outside Yingzhou City. 】
[In the face of such a large-scale war, you always remained calm on the battlefield, running back and forth to cheer up your men. You also rushed to the line of fire many times to directly attack the enemy. Inspired by the emperor's spirit, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted.
, always occupying the initiative on the battlefield.】
[Facing the increasingly brave Ming army as they fought in Vietnam, the Mongolian army began to be unable to withstand it. By the afternoon, the little prince really couldn’t hold on any longer. 】
[The little Mongolian prince knew that he was defeated. He lost to an unknown person with a huge advantage. In desperation, he could only order: "Retreat!"]
[After the Mongols were defeated and withdrew, you excitedly shouted to everyone: "I will kill a Mongolian cavalry with my own hands!"]
[Everyone burst out laughing, and Wang Xun, who had always been suspicious of you before, was also laughing heartily.]
【They won an incredible battle! A miraculous victory!】
[However, what they don’t know is that behind this glorious but short-lived victory, it was you who worked hard on the map in the side hall of the Leopard Room for ten years and exhausted all strategies before you figured out how to win this battle. 】
[I guess the little Mongolian prince himself didn’t even know that the Ming emperor spent ten years trying to defeat him!]
[Ten years of sharpening a sword, when you draw it out of its sheath, the whole world will be shocked!]
(I have already written about the unreasonableness of the Yingzhou War in the writer’s words.)
