Confused!
Completely confused!
In the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was taking a sip from his wine bowl, preparing to take a good look at his descendants. The Qilin'er of the Zhu family shone brightly, made great achievements, and revitalized the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the picture in the simulator, I was stunned on the spot.
Going out with an army of 300,000 men in two days? ?
This is something he never expected!
Even someone like him was stunned for a moment.
I once wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
No... Who the hell taught him how to fight like this?
From issuing the order to returning from the expedition, it only took two days?
Moreover, three hundred thousand troops were mobilized!
This is crazy! !
The wine bowl in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was about to fall onto the table!
That's outrageous!
It’s just so damn off the mark!
What's in this bitch's brain?
How could something like this happen?
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor on the spur of the moment, an emperor who fought with swords and guns.
After many years of fighting with his people, he drove out the Tartars, restored China, and re-established the Han family.
Became emperor.
He knew very well how difficult it was to mobilize an army of 300,000 people.
Even the 300,000 troops mentioned in the simulator are not that accurate and there will be some water content.
But this is definitely an extremely exaggerated number!
With so many people mobilized at once, how much supplies would be needed to feed the people?
These all require careful preparation!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought so and made a rough calculation.
Judging from the current conditions, his Hongwu Dynasty martial virtues are abundant, and his soldiers and generals have just experienced the troubled times and fought their way out.
He wanted to mobilize an army of 300,000 people, and he had to make at least a month of preparations in the early stage to mobilize and prepare various supplies.
Moreover, this month has already seemed extremely hasty.
At this time in Zhu Qizhen, it had been more than 20 years since his fourth son passed away.
Ming Dynasty's armaments have long been lax.
Far inferior to the fourth Yongle Dynasty.
Not to mention compared with his own Hongwu Chao.
Under such circumstances, mobilizing an army of 300,000 for an expedition would take more time.
If Zhu Qizhen could spend a month and a half to mobilize these 300,000 troops, he could go out to fight safely.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this guy was a genius.
As a result, it only took him two days now...
War is not a child's play!
Does he play like this?
Zhu Yuanzhang's good mood disappeared all of a sudden.
But when he was so shocked and wanted to curse, he suddenly calmed down again.
He thought of the title Ming God of War.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang's shocked heart calm down again.
There must be a reason why Zhu Qizhen can be called the Ming God of War.
It is bound to be something that ordinary people cannot do.
Only in this way can he be called the Ming God of War!
Otherwise, why didn’t even Lao Si, who led troops on many expeditions and achieved very good results, get the title of Defeat the Ming Dynasty?
For people with similar titles, when they fight, they often do many things that seem to be unreasonable.
The order he gave now, in his opinion, was pure nonsense at that time.
It's like seeking death!
But he happened to have the title of Ming God of War.
Then it is very likely that it was this guy who issued such an order.
In the ensuing battle, he was able to stabilize his formation and shine with this!
God of War!
It’s just about doing things that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do, and thinking about things that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to think about!
Only then can he be called the God of War!
With this thought in mind, he once again focused his attention on the simulator.
The screen on the simulator slowly disappears, and a new screen will appear soon——
The sky was overcast, the wind was howling, and the rain was pouring down.
When the heavy rain comes, even the birds will not fly, insects, ants, and wild beasts will find a place to hide to take shelter from the rain.
Not to mention people.
Those who have homes will hide inside their homes, and those who don’t have homes will find other places to hide?
Will not travel.
But now, there is an extremely unusual scene, appearing in such weather.
Many soldiers wearing armor walked in the rain.
All of them were soaked by the heavy rain.
I can't even open my eyes under the rain.
The road was slippery, and with so many soldiers passing by, it had already become muddy and turned into mud.
In the picture, soldiers fell to the ground from time to time, then got up covered in mud and continued to move forward.
Some people fell to the ground with a thud as they were walking, and could never get up again...
The screen quickly extends forward.
Soon they came to a conspicuous position in the team.
There is a particularly conspicuous and luxurious chariot here.
Around the cart, there were well-armored soldiers guarding it.
A shed was also set up above the cart.
Covered a lot of pouring rain.
Zhu Qizhen, wearing a dragon robe, was sitting in the cart.
The heavy rain outside couldn't catch him.
"Your Majesty, please stop the march!
Wait until the rain has passed before continuing.
This cannot go on.
If this continues, the soldiers will not be able to bear it.
Now many soldiers have become sick and died due to cold and hunger.
If we continue to march without hesitation, it will easily cause an even greater disaster.
Many of the soldiers of the order lost their fighting spirit without fighting...
Even if we can get to Datong, our troops and horses have become exhausted, and we are at the end of our battle..."
Someone knelt down in the mud and spoke earnestly to Zhu Qizhen who was sitting in the cart.
This person is Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War.
At this time, Kuang Ye looked very tired.
He looked very embarrassed.
The whole body was soaked by the rain.
There were injuries on his face, hands, and legs.
This is what was left after the horse fell down.
Before the emperor in the chariot could speak, a somewhat shrill voice rang out.
He scolded Kuang Ye, Minister of War.
The person who opened his mouth was none other than Wang Zhen who was driving with him.
At this time, he was also very dry and had not been exposed to rain.
There were several people beside him, holding a big umbrella, protecting him tightly.
"Soldiers are valuable and speed is high! Soldiers are valuable and fast!
Kuang Shangshu, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, you don’t even understand this? !
Then Xiao'er is attacking Datong.
The guards there may not be able to withstand Wala Yexian.
It can be described as extremely urgent.
At this time, if you don't move, it's enough, if you move, it must be amazing!
We need to drive at full speed towards Datong.
If time passes earlier, you will have a better chance of winning..."
"But that will only happen if the soldiers fight with their lives!
If we ignore the march, then the soldiers will suffer heavy losses and lose their will to fight..."
There was obviously anger on Kuang Ye's face.
However, he suppressed it again.
He spoke out to refute Wang Zhen.
“When fighting, you must have the right time, right place, and the right people!
Have you seen this heavy rain?
What Kuang Shangshu saw was a disadvantage to our army, but what I saw was a great gift from heaven!
No matter how much you think about it, you, an ignorant kid like Wala Yexian, will never imagine that His Majesty will lead the expedition in person!
What's more, I didn't expect that when it rained so heavily, His Majesty could lead the troops and march quickly in the rain.
As the art of war goes, take the enemy by surprise and attack him unprepared, and that's the case now.
It's bound to be possible to catch him off guard first!
Just like Li Jing, the military god of the generation, fighting the Turks on a snowy night, suddenly the same thing happened.
This time, it must be the time when His Majesty becomes famous all over the world! ”
Wang Zhen stood here and scolded Kuang Ye.
Kuang Ye wanted to say something else when he heard this, but Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting in the cart, couldn't help but speak.
He seemed a little impatient and interrupted Kuang Ye's words directly.
"Kuang Shangshu need not say more.
I have my own thoughts!
What Mr. Wang said makes sense. The purpose of war is to attack the enemy unprepared and to take them by surprise.
Even Kuang Shangshu objected to marching in this rainy day, which was even more unexpected.
I just want to do the opposite for him!
Give him a nice surprise!
At that time, he will know what it means: Anyone who offends my Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is! ”
After hearing what the emperor said, Kuang Ye originally wanted to say something more.
All he could do was make a somewhat dull sound.
Expressed willingness to do as the emperor said.
Then, with the help of others, he stood up with difficulty, limped away, and went to see the general of the army...
While chasing the car, Zhu Qizhen looked at Kuang Ye's leaving figure.
Think about what Kuang Ye just said.
There was a touch of disdain and helplessness on his face.
"Compared with Mr. Wang, Shangshu Kuang is far behind."
Wang Zhen heard this and said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are still a hero."
The two couldn't help but smile at each other, their eyes full of contentment...
The picture slowly disappeared, but Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he watched it.
That's not how wars are fought.
They were in a hurry to send out troops, but as soon as they sent out troops, they encountered such a continuous autumn rain.
Judging from the time on the simulator, it’s already autumn in the north.
Autumn in the north is not so easy.
Especially when it rains continuously, the temperature will suddenly drop a lot.
From the pictures displayed in the simulator, it can be seen that these soldiers are wearing thin clothes.
All are wearing summer clothes.
There was no shelter from the rain, so we just walked in the rain.
This was a fatal blow to the morale of the military.
And what Kuang Ye said about dying of cold and hunger suddenly made Zhu Yuanzhang think of more things.
This revealed a lot of information.
For example, they were in such a hurry on this trip that they couldn't keep up with the food and supplies!
Otherwise, they would only say that they froze to death, but not that they died of cold and hunger!
As for what Wang Zhen said, he was unprepared.
Zhu Yuanzhang also disagreed.
What this guy said seemed to make sense at first glance.
But if you think about it carefully, you can see that there is something wrong with it.
In war, it is right for soldiers to make dangerous moves, to surprise the enemy, and to attack the enemy unprepared.
But...their current actions are specious.
When the army makes dangerous moves, it usually uses extremely elite soldiers. There will also be priorities.
Generally, there are not too many people who take on this kind of task.
As many as thousands, as few as hundreds, or even dozens of people...
For example, what Wang Zhen said just now, Li Jingxue attacked the Turks at night, but he only brought 3,000 people with him.
But now, they have brought a total of three hundred thousand!
So many people, regardless of priority, walked together in the rain like a swarm, just like herding sheep.
Didn't do that!
Even if the troops are expensive and fast, the vanguard should be sent first.
The remaining troops of the brigade acted in batches.
Now, with so many people acting together, even if they are walking in the rain, the speed will not be much faster!
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows knitted together.
Many of the things he saw made him feel particularly unreasonable no matter what he thought.
I feel like they have violated all the taboos of military strategists on this trip!
In his view, everything is unreasonable and will inevitably lead to failure.
But Zhu Qizhen has the title of the Ming God of War...
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and soon relaxed.
I feel that maybe my level is not high enough to understand some of the thoughts of the Ming God of War.
Since he is called the Ming God of War, he must have something special about him.
This battle will definitely be even more outstanding!
Soon, a new picture emerged on the simulator.
In the new scene, Kuang Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, once again requested to withdraw their troops.
But this time, the eunuch Wang Zhen was angered.
They were directly ordered to kneel in the grass until dark, and then they were asked to be helped up by others...
At this point, not many people dare to say anything about withdrawing troops.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
This eunuch is so damn arrogant and domineering!
Damn it too!
However, after this thought arose in my mind, I remembered the title of the Ming God of War.
There have been some changes in Wang Zhen's views.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of Wang Zhen's persistence that he became Zhu Qizhen, such an outstanding descendant, who became known as the Ming God of War.
Otherwise, if we just withdraw our troops, there will be no way to show the bravery of our grandson.
A new picture slowly appeared again.
The scene was very cruel and too horrible to watch.
To the south of a city, there were many corpses lying strewn about.
Many of these corpses have rotted away.
There are many mosquitoes flying around.
From the clothes worn by these corpses, Zhu Yuanzhang could already recognize that these were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing such a scene, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little red.
They are all good men of the Ming Dynasty.
He died like this, and no one collected his body...
In the picture, Zhu Qizhen was still sitting on the cart, covering his nose with an embroidered handkerchief.
Frowning.
He looked extremely disgusted.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw deep fear between his eyebrows.
He was obviously frightened by these sights.
After seeing such a scene, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel angry in his heart!
Those were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who died on the battlefield!
As an emperor, he was so disgusted and a little scared.
Is this what you should do?
Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious again, wondering how this bitch managed to achieve such a prestigious reputation as the Ming God of War!
Judging from what I have seen so far in the simulator.
No matter from which aspect, this guy does not have the courage of the Ming God of War.
No one can associate this title with him.
Perhaps...this is the difference between himself and the Ming God of War.
Perhaps, some other miracles will happen next.
For example, after seeing this, Zhu Qizhen was greatly stimulated and worked hard to become stronger. His whole person seemed to be completely transformed...
Or, like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he might also have the image of heaven descending to help.
Let him break it in one fell swoop?
In the simulator, the screen gradually disappeared, and a new screen immediately appeared.
The time is the second day of August in the 14th year of Zhengtong, and the location is Datong City.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen, Wang Zhen and his party led the army. After a difficult march, many people died.
Finally, they arrived at Datong, which they wanted to rescue.
"Your Majesty, we are defeated, we are all defeated..."
A eunuch knelt down and said with his body trembling.
This man's name is Guo Jing, and he is an eunuch staying in Datong.
"On July 15, four generals, Governor Song Ying, Prince Consort Jingyuan, Chief Military Officer Zhu Mian, and Zuo Shengjiang Commander Shi Heng, each led 10,000 troops to Yanghe for defense.
Immediately afterwards, Xining Marquis Song Ying, Wu Jin Bo Zhu Mian, Zuo Shengjiang Shi Heng and others led the army to fight against Wala in Yanghe.
Song Ying, Zhu Mian and others acted indiscriminately, did not listen to orders, underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, resulting in the defeat of our army.
The whole army was destroyed...
Song Ying and Zhu Mian died in battle, and Shi Heng fled back to Datong City alone..."
What? !
After hearing what the eunuch said, Zhu Qizhen's expression changed drastically.
Startled.
What's going on?
"You...what you said is true?"
Zhu Qizhen said with some trembling in his voice.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true.
Your Majesty can summon Shi Heng and others to inquire,
I dare not deceive Your Majesty...”
Zhu Qizhen was greatly shocked and hurriedly brought Shi Heng over.
Shi Heng said: There was indeed a big war.
However, some of the things he said were different from what Guo Jing said.
It is said that it was Guo Jing who interfered, which led to the delay in fighting and the defeat...
But never mind who is to blame.
There is one thing, but there is no way to change it.
That is, the soldiers and horses on Datong's side suffered a huge loss!
"Mr. Wang, what else should we do?
Do you want to leave? ”
Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Zhen in panic and asked.
Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "If you don't leave, stay here.
We have many soldiers, but the Wala soldiers are few. Moreover, the Wala people have come from afar, so their troops and horses are exhausted.
Your Majesty is marching in person and has a fortified city. If we really fight, the three armies will definitely lose their lives..."
Just as Wang Zhen was saying this, he suddenly heard a loud click.
Thunder fell one after another.
Suddenly, the color of heaven and earth changes!
It's like it's night.
Soon there was a downpour.
Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen's expressions changed completely.
"Your Majesty, how about... let's withdraw our troops?"
Zhu Qizhen said in a dry voice: "I... listen to Mr. Wang."
As Zhu Qizhen's order was issued, the army Mo Yu retreated...
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene in the simulator, and his expression suddenly changed.
The fists clenched loudly.
Blood pressure soars!
Is this a war? !
This is treating the lives of soldiers as child's play!
Is there anyone who fights like this?
When I set out for the expedition, I was full of confidence. I didn't make any preparations and just left with so many people.
How many people were killed or injured on the road?
As a result, when they arrived at the place, they learned that the defenders were defeated and quickly arranged their troops to prepare for the battle.
Instead, he immediately fled out of Datong in the rain and returned to the capital.
This...is there such a fight?
What do these two idiots think war is?
Of course, when such thoughts arose, I once again thought of the title of the Ming God of War, forced myself to calm down, and then looked down.
……
"Your Majesty, I am also pursuing the troops first. I don't know when they will arrive.
The situation is urgent, you must not change the route now!
Your Majesty is also requested to enter the Pass through Zijin Pass.
At this time, we have traveled more than forty miles south. If we were to turn back, we would have to walk a lot of unnecessary distance.
How much more time will it take on this journey?
The closest thing to entering the customs is from Bauhinia Pass..."
In the new picture, someone was kneeling on the ground, pleading with Zhu Qizhen anxiously.
Zhu Qizhen did not speak.
Wang Zhenze yelled at them and said they were talking nonsense.
They also insisted that the army should not enter the pass through Zijin Pass and follow the route they took when they exited the pass.
You have to enter the pass from Juyong Pass.
After the army turned around, some officials couldn't help crying...
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and felt incredible.
At this time, the soldiers and generals in the picture have lost their fighting spirit and are not suitable for fighting at all.
According to what they said, there are pursuers behind.
In this case, if you don't enter the customs through Zijin Pass nearby, why should you take a detour here?
They don't use troops like this!
Thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
He got it!
Zhu Qizhen and the others were trying to show their weakness to the enemy and lure them deeper.
On the surface, they were taking a detour, but in fact, they were outside here, deliberately staying a little longer so that the Walas behind could catch up quickly, enter the encirclement, and kill them first.
Zhu Yuanzhang used a lot of his ingenuity to reluctantly give a reason that could convince him.
From this point of view, if we can continue, we will soon see a real victory!
My Ming Dynasty will achieve a crushing victory!
As a result, the next moment, a new picture appeared on the simulator.
This time, Wang Zhen was alone, sitting there muttering.
“You can’t enter through Bauhinia Pass!
I originally thought that His Majesty was in a good mood this time and could pass through his hometown when entering the customs at Zijin Pass. This time, he could take advantage of the situation and show off his prestige in his hometown.
Let everyone in my hometown see what he looks like now.
After all, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night!
But who could have imagined that this battle would be so embarrassing!
Your Majesty is certainly not interested.
When so many troops pass by and trample the seedlings in my hometown, won’t my fellow villagers scold me?
So...you must enter through Juyong Pass! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang:? ? ! ! !
