Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 122: Am I, Prince Ning, not worthy of this world?

In the study.

Seeing Zhu Di's confidence, the old monk and Yang Shiqi asked at the same time:

"I wonder what the last point the prince mentioned is?"

"How can the prince turn a blind eye to an army of 700,000 people?"

Zhu Di showed a smile on his face and said:

"Mr. Bai, you are coming back!"

Bai Chu is coming back?!

This news is indeed shocking.

After Bai Chu asked Zhu Di for eight hundred elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he went north.

Now two months have passed and there has been no news from him. Unexpectedly, Bai Chu is coming back now.

Time goes back to a month and a half ago.

After Bai Chu left Peiping, he headed north to Daning.

The purpose this time was very clear. Bai Chu was going to bring Prince Ning and his three Duoyan guards to Zhu Di's camp.

As a result, the balance of victory in the Battle of Jingnan will completely tilt to the north.

By then, with Bai Chu's help, I believe there will never be a war like the one in the history of "407", which lasted for four full years.

The land of Shandong and Hebei was completely desolate. Bai Chu felt that if the war could be ended quickly this time, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be extended.

He is now in the early stage of transformation and is only one step away from a breakthrough. As long as Zhu Di easily eliminates Zhu Yunwen and the national destiny skyrockets, Bai Chu will definitely be able to enter the middle stage of transformation.

Thinking of this, Bai Chu couldn't help but smile on his face. There is hope for immortality, there is hope for immortality!!

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt puzzled when he saw Bai Chu's bewildered smile.

He really couldn't figure out what exactly this Mr. Bai wanted to do?

Could it be that just because he still has 800 men, he can take down the three guards of Duoyan and let King Ning lead an army of 80,000 to join his father?

This is really a fantasy. After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu finally asked:

"Mr. Bai, I don't know if we are going to Daning. What are your plans?"

"Are we going to break into Daning directly like this? I'm afraid that before we get close to Daning, we will be surrounded by heavy troops from King Ning."

A hint of cunning flashed in Bai Chu's eyes, and he smiled:

"We are going to Prince Ning to avoid the limelight. As his nephew, if you go and plead for mercy in person, Prince Ning will not push us away."

Zhu Gaoxu was confused and dumbfounded.

"Avoiding the limelight? Begging for mercy?"

"Aren't we going to take Prince Ning back and launch the Jingnan Campaign with us?"

"Of course not, we are just going to avoid the limelight, or to avoid trouble."

Bai Chu smiled and said:

"Prince Ning has 80,000 men and strong troops. We only have 800 men. How can we possibly defeat him with a hundred-fold difference?"

"Don't talk about taking him back. If he doesn't kill him, it's already for King Yan's sake."

"Okay, don't think too much, just do as I say and everything will fall into place."

Zhu Gaoxu's mind was filled with questions, but he had to follow Bai Chu's order because Zhu Di had given him a serious warning before coming.

If you dare to disobey Mr. Bai, your legs will be broken when you return.

Thinking of Zhu Di's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but shudder. He didn't dare to say any more nonsense, and started on his way with his head buried in his head.

After more than ten days of traveling, Bai Chu finally arrived in Daning.

However, King Ning didn't seem to welcome them at all. Before Bai Chu got close to Daning City, he was surrounded by a group of Mongolian cavalry.

"We, King Ning, have an order to invite King Yan's envoy. Where did he come from and where should he return?"

One of the Mongolian men, speaking with a weird accent, shouted to Bai Guang and others.

It was obvious that Prince Ning regarded them as lobbyists. He simply did not want to contact them and wanted to drive them away.

After all, King Ning has a strong army and horses. With his strength, he does not need to form an alliance with King Yan.

If the imperial army wants to attack itself, it must first deal with King Yan. Wouldn't it be nice to sit in Daning and watch the snipe and clams fight?

Why do you have to go forward and let Yan King Zhu Di be the spearman?

If Zhu Di and the imperial army were both defeated, with the elite soldiers in his hands, the emperor might even be able to do it himself.

In any case, the most powerful vassal king in the north, besides King Yan, is himself. Even King Yan does not dare to provoke him. Therefore, Ning Wang Zhu Quan has always been dismissive of Zhu Di's request for unity. It's not that it's impossible, but it's just unnecessary.

Now, Zhu Quan found another team, under the banner of King Yan, and naturally thought it was Zhu Di's lobbyist again, and Zhu Quan was not interested at all.

But just when the Mongols were about to drive them away, Bai Guang stood up and said:

"We are not envoys, we are generals under King Yan. The person next to me is the second son of King Yan. We have important matters here and want to see His Highness Lord Ning."

The Mongolians couldn't understand what Bai Chu said, but after seeing Bai Chu, some of them hurriedly dismounted and began to kneel down to Bai Chu:

"General Kamui!!"

Last time, Bai Chu fought 5,000 against 50,000, one person per person, killing through the entire Jurchen defense line.

In the eyes of these Mongolians, this scene was simply the coming of divine power, which made many Mongolians respect Bai Chu extremely.

As more and more people dismounted, the face of the Mongolian who was the original leader became a little ugly. He looked at Bai Chu.

Then he said again in weird Chinese:

"In that case, please invite General Shenwei into the city!"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Bai Chu to have such a high status in the hearts of the Mongolians.

What he didn't know was that the Mongolians had worshiped the strong since ancient times, and Bai Chu's strength was beyond their knowledge. That's why they admired Bai Chu so much.

Bai Chu nodded to the Mongolians around him, then clasped his fists and led his men towards Daning City.

As soon as they entered Daning City, King Ning Zhu Quan arrived in person.

Seeing that it was indeed Mr. Bai, Zhu Quan had a strange expression on his face and stepped forward and said:

"It turns out that Mr. Bai is here in person. I'm really sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar."

"I have prepared a banquet at my house to welcome Mr. Bai. Please come with me, Mr. Bai."

Bai Chu naturally agreed happily, and then walked towards the city with Zhu Gaoxu.

As for the eight hundred elite soldiers brought by Bai Chu, they were arranged into the military camp in the city. After entering the palace, Ning Wang Zhu Quan indeed prepared a rich banquet and invited Bai Chu and Zhu Gaoxu to join them for a banquet.

At the banquet, Zhu Quan kept asking Bai Chu what he was doing here.

In fact, he had always been very wary in his heart. If Bai Chu came to persuade him to send troops to join Zhu Di, Zhu Quan would immediately refuse and have people drive Bai Chu and the two out.

However, Bai Chu didn't mention a word. Even when Zhu Quan took the initiative to mention the battle of Jingnan, Bai Chu would always talk about him.

All in all, in one sentence, Zhu Quan came here to take Zhu Gaoxu for refuge.

Zhu Di was conquered by Geng Bingwen's 300,000-strong army. Just in case, Zhu Di left his blood in Prince Ning's Mansion, hoping that Prince Ning would take care of him.

This reason made Ning Wang Zhu Quan very uncomfortable.

He wanted to refuse, but after all, he was his nephew, and Zhu Di had already lowered his attitude so low that Zhu Quan could not refuse outright.

Helpless, Zhu Quan could only wait for the dust to settle in the south before making any plans.

Bai Chu and Zhu Gaoxu settled down in Daning for more than half a month.

In the past half month, Zhu Quan had been drinking with Bai Chu and Zhu Gaoxu every day, using the pretense of communicating with each other, which made Prince Ning a little irritable and wanted to get rid of these two troubles as soon as possible.

Until news came from the south that Zhu Di had defeated Geng Bingwen, which made Zhu Quan realize that the opportunity had come.

Just when Zhu Quan was about to summon Bai Chu and Zhu Gaoxu to issue an eviction order, these two people came to the door.

Within the government office.

Bai Chu was telling Zhu Quan and Zhu Gaoxu about some of his views on the vassal king in the future.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, do you think Prince Yan can conquer the world in the end?"

When Bai Chu came up, he got straight to the point and didn't need to beat around the bush. After all, Zhu Quan was now completely on Zhu Di's pirate ship.

Zhu Quan pondered for a moment, then said:

"Although the Southern Dynasty has lost 300,000 elites, the main force of the Southern Dynasty has not been lost. There are still 500,000 troops in the Beijing camp, and there is also a provincial capital."

"If Zhu Yunwen tries his best, he can even form an army of one million people."

"I admire the fourth brother very much, but I don't have high hopes for this battle."
