Ming Dynasty Emperor Chat Group: Zhu Qizhen Quits The Group At The Beginning

38: Zhu Gaoxun’s plan: to achieve success in one battle!

“”Openly repairing the plank road, secretly crossing Chencang?” Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious about what kind of relationship Zhu Gaoxun was selling, and asked:”Why is this?”

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly didn’t know the situation of the Chongzhen Dynasty as well as Zhu Gaoxun did, and this matter……Zhu Gaoxun’s words seemed to have nothing to do with the war, so what was the purpose of repairing the plank road in the open and sneaking through Chencang?

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang was curious, Zhu Di and Zhu Youjian also looked at Zhu Gaoxun, as if he would not leave if he did not explain clearly today.

Taking in the expressions of the crowd, Zhu Gaoxun smiled and said,”Grandpa Emperor, didn’t you ask General Xu Da to follow my command? This sneaking through Chencang was prepared for General Xu.”

“Is there a war?” Zhu Yuanzhang frowned,”Who is coming? Are you sure?”

It’s not that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid, but he and Zhu Di had just learned about the military strength of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Although you, Zhu Gaoxun, have said this before, after all……Seeing is believing.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, but after seeing it, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more uncertain about the future war.

Because the situation is much worse than what Zhu Gaoxun said before! Not only are the border troops rotten, but even the soldiers in the capital are also muddling along.

And……Most of them are old, weak and sick. Even if he and Zhu Di have all-powerful abilities, it is impossible for such an army to generate combat effectiveness.

The most serious problem is undoubtedly the bankruptcy of credibility, the bankruptcy of credibility of the Ming Dynasty court!

Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the food and wages issued by the Ming Dynasty first passed through the hands of Beijing officials, and then passed through the hands of generals at all levels.

Not to mention the soup, it is a good thing for the soldiers to drink bran!

In this case, how can the soldiers trust the court?

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di discussed it and agreed that Zhu Gaoxun’s”Fengming” seemed powerful, but when the difference in numbers reached a certain point, this kind of firearm would eventually run out of ammunition.

What’s more, the enemy is not a fool, and will only attack on one side of the city wall.

When the personnel are dispersed, the effectiveness of this heavy weapon will definitely be greatly reduced.

Now hearing what Zhu Gaoxun is playing”repairing the plank road in the open and crossing Chencang in secret”, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more anxious, but his face did not show it.

“Of course it’s the rebel Li Zicheng!” Zhu Gaoyi nodded and said,”The sooner we deal with the rebel, the sooner we eliminate the threat. After all, the greatest enemy of Chongzhen is the Jiannu.”

When he heard that it was Li Zicheng who was going to be attacked, his heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhu Di with worry. At the suggestion of Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes, Zhu Di considered the words and said,”Gaoyi, are you so confident? The rebel has tens of thousands of troops, and with the civilians, there are at least 500,000!”

“With such a huge gap in military strength, if we divide our forces hastily, Shuntian Prefecture might be in danger…….”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di fought on the battlefield, and their eyes were so vicious.

With such a huge gap in military strength, they naturally knew that Shuntian Prefecture was almost impossible to defend, even with the two of them.

However, because Zhu Gaoxun had given a guarantee and they also handed the matter over to Zhu Gaoxun, the two could not directly raise objections and could only take a roundabout way.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were looking forward to Zhu Gaoxun showing some magical means.

After taking in the expressions of the two, Zhu Gaoxun knew their concerns after a little thought.

In fact, this matter is easy to solve. You just need to show the general’s cannon to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

But there are some risks in this. After all, no matter how tight the news is, it may make Li Zicheng alert. Zhu Gaoxun does not want to take risks. He does not have so much energy to spend on Li Zicheng.

It is better to achieve success in one battle.

Considering the concerns of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said,”I have ordered Wu Sangui to return to the capital, along with his army.”

When he came to the Chongzhen Dynasty, Wu Sangui’s problem had to be solved.

This man was two-faced, a cunning villain, and a national sinner. Zhu Gaoxun was determined not to let him go.

“You said before……”Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and said,”Will this man surrender to the Qing Dynasty later and lead the Tartars into the capital? Will he rush to help the capital?”

“Yes!” It was Zhu Youjian who spoke at this time,”He dare not not come, and he dare not not save.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood that he had preconceived ideas.

If Wu Sangui turned a blind eye to the order from the capital, it would be purely courting death! He would not be tolerated by the world.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxun had already made arrangements, Zhu Di was relieved and pinched his chin and said:”So, Gaoxun, your secret plan to send General Xu out of the capital and completely wipe out Li Zicheng and others?”

“”Father is right.” Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said,”I have not kept the thousand Jinyiwei brought by Grandpa Emperor idle these past two days.”

The Jinyiwei during the Hongwu period were actually Zhu Yuanzhang’s personal soldiers. They were undoubtedly the best of the best. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have brought these people.

And it just so happened that Zhu Gaoxun also used these people. They had been collecting intelligence for so many years, and they must be more useful than soldiers. After all, they were professional counterparts.

“During this period, the Jinyiwei has already collected a lot of evidence. Zhu Gaoxun continued,”Tomorrow is also the time to start the house search and draw the attention of the whole city to this. Then let General Xu lead the soldiers to pretend to be merchants and quietly leave the city and wait for orders.”

“How to solve the problem of food and salary?”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxun smiled slightly.

It’s time to show some functions, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di will be unsure.

Although these two people are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and are proficient in battlefield matters, they have never experienced modern warfare, so it is understandable that they have some errors in their thinking.

What I have to do is to eliminate their concerns as much as possible to avoid any problems in the subsequent plans….

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxun showed his skills in public, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Needless to say, Zhu Youjian was still able to stand, which showed that Zhu Youjian had grown a lot recently, and his qualitative threshold had also increased a lot.
