King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Jinshan City is a new city.

Surrounded by water and backed by mountains on one side, it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Simultaneously.

Naha Chu also stocked up a large amount of food and grass in Jinshan City, and there would be no problem even if he held on for a year.

at this time.

The Ming army also gradually cleared away the Yuan army strongholds around Jinshan City, and finally the army encircled and surrounded the place.

Feng Sheng frowned and looked at the city in front of him.

I can tell.

Naha put a lot of effort into the defense construction of this city.

It's hard for these Yuan people to build such a tall and thick city despite such poor material conditions.

And for Zhu Tan.

The 200,000 Ming troops seemed to be traveling far into the wilderness.

If it is delayed for half a year, it will be freezing cold and the Ming army will have to withdraw.

"Song Guogong, have the envoys we sent to recruit him come back?"

Of course, these seizures are far from covering and making up for the expenditures of the Northern Expedition.

Why send 20 troops!
It is enough to send five thousand King Lu guards!

Lan Yu said with a sour face: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, has no promotion now, why are you still making such a big contribution!"

It will probably be very difficult.

Feng Sheng nodded and said: "The third one has been sent and is still in the city. It is estimated that Naha may not surrender even if he goes out!"

How much money is wasted!

This is the journey.

In fact.

Liaodong is a bitter and cold place.

It is estimated that the loot will be even richer if Jinshan is captured.

When Feng Sheng thought of the majesty of Lu Wangwei's artillery, he immediately smiled.

It is not conducive to a long battle.

Almost nothing to lose!

If the siege is delayed for a long time, there will be problems with the supply of food and grass.

It is estimated that when Feng Sheng sent the battle report back, Lao Zhu was already heartbroken.

Not to mention anything else, just transporting the food and clothing for the 20-strong army is an astronomical sum!
Of course, there are many benefits gained along the way.

What's more.

That kind of power that can destroy the world, let alone a city three feet high, is ten feet high, which means it only takes a few more rounds!

Now there are the artillery of Lu Wangwei.

If my 200,000 troops want to attack such a fortified city, they will really have to endure some hardships!

Feng Sheng's first choice was to surrender.

Naha has been in Liaodong for many years and has collected countless treasures, especially ginseng, mink skins, various treasures, etc.

Lan Yu and others also looked at Zhu Tan.

It’s so simple!

at this time.

It is estimated that Naha still has 150,000 or 60,000 troops in the city.

If it is normal.

but.

Now all the way to the north, the Yuan army was wiped out, 120,000 to 30,000.

After all, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Ming Dynasty will still rule here in the future.

Zhu Tan looked at the strong city in front of him and frowned.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiangyang and Diaoyu City were defended for decades, and the Mongolian army had no good way to capture them.

Nothing seems to be a problem.

If we continue to use Lu Wangwei's artillery, Naha probably won't be able to hold it for long!
The three-foot-high city was a despairing height for these Mongolian and Yuan cavalry.

Most of the casualties were due to illness, getting lost, etc.
The combat attrition is almost negligible!

Before the Northern Expedition, it was known that the total number of troops sent by Naha was close to 300,000.

Feng Sheng had seen with his own eyes that three rounds of King Lu's artillery fire could completely level a city three feet high!
Such terrifying firepower seems not to belong to the human world!
Feng Sheng smiled at Zhu Tan beside him and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu! Now it seems that the only option is to continue bombarding with artillery! We should be able to capture it within a day, right?"

This land is bitterly cold and cannot be developed.

Mainland people definitely don’t want to come here.

Then, the form of rule in the future will most likely be Jisi rule.

For example, Saiin Timur who surrendered earlier, and the surrendered generals who surrendered along the way.

Bringing their descendants to study today is also considered as being held hostage.

Then leave these past leaders to continue to rule here.

In this case, it would be easy for them to surrender and then rebel again.

Therefore, Lao Zhu has been emphasizing that this Northern Expedition must be gentle.

Not only must we be gentle to the people wherever the army passes, but we must also be gentle to these Yuan and Meng nobles and generals who surrendered!
Let them feel the majesty and inviolability of the Ming Dynasty, and let them feel the goodwill and kindness of the Ming Emperor!
Therefore, Feng Sheng has sent three waves of envoys to Jinshan City to persuade them to surrender.

Unfortunately, all the messengers were sent away with gifts.

Naha came out but still refused to surrender!

Zhu Tan was a little unsure when he heard Feng Sheng's words.

in history.

During the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, Naha surrendered directly.

There is no way he could resist to this extent.

Of course, the performance of Naha's soldiers and generals during this expedition was indeed as recorded in the history books.

There was almost no decent resistance, and surrender almost came quickly.

In history, Naha sent people to find out the strength and size of the Ming army, and then surrendered as well.

Logically speaking.

This time the Northern Expedition, with King Lu's guards following him, was more decisive and more powerful. Naha was under pressure and should have surrendered earlier and faster.

However, now Naha Chu is unwilling to surrender!

What went wrong?
Zhu Tan suddenly remembered.

The information I provided to Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

The price of military supplies in Jiubian has increased so much. Although the specific figures cannot be known, it is certain that a large amount of supplies must have flowed into the grassland!
Could it be
Naha Chuzhen had secretly contacted Turgus Timur.

Now, he is just waiting for reinforcements from Thugustimur?
Thinking of this, Zhu Tan said to Feng Sheng: "Song Guogong, I think that now we should strengthen the detection and vigilance around the army!

Naha must have someone to rely on if he can't leave the fortified city. "

Lan Yu frowned and said: "What can he rely on? It's nothing more than a fortified city and a large army of troops! Just arrange for your King Lu Guards to bombard it with heavy artillery! In less than a day, Naha will have to surrender!"

Zhu Tan smiled and ignored Lan Yu.

Instead, he said to Feng Sheng: "Dong Guo of Song, I have something important to tell you! Please move forward!"

Feng Sheng was stunned when he heard this.

He knew that although His Royal Highness Prince Lu in front of him was not very old, he now seemed to be extremely reliable in doing things.

Because everything he said came true!
If you say this to yourself now, you must have something important to discuss.

Think of this.

Feng Sheng nodded and said: "Okay!" Guo Ying, Lan Yu, Li Jinglong and even many vassal kings looked at Zhu Tan and Feng Sheng with curiosity on their faces.

King Qin Zhu Feng snorted coldly and said: "What a mystery! Are you going to defeat Naha Chu soon? Then he will not be able to outshine King Lu Wei, so he wants to do something stupid again!"

suddenly.

Qi King Zhu Su said with a sullen face: "Second brother, be careful! The tenth-old Lu Wangwei has been making contributions all the way! In any case, he has the qualifications to discuss matters with the coach!"

Zhu Xi was stunned when he heard this.

He thought that the one who stood up and dared to refute him at this time must be King Zhu Di of Yan, or King Zhu Ji of Zhou who had always had a good relationship with Zhu Tan.

But I didn't expect that it was Zhu Shu who had a lot of trouble with Zhu Tan!
He actually spoke for Zhu Tan!

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Shu coldly.

It’s different from Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan's biological mother is Concubine Guo Ning, who is now the de facto owner of the harem.

In addition, he has the help of his uncle Guo Ying and his father-in-law Tang He.

Zhu Tan's background is actually not weaker than that of Zhu Ping, the legitimate son.

Maybe even more so.

Even if my father misses Empress Xiaocigao again, she has been gone for three years after all.

What's more, he is only the second son of Empress Xiaocigao.

The eldest brother is the one who truly wins his father's favor.

Therefore, when facing Zhu Tan, even if Zhu Tan did not have so many merits, Zhu Xi could not do anything against him.

But Zhu Shu is different.

His mother was Concubine Da Ding, the concubine of the Han Emperor Chen Youliang, his father's mortal enemy!

With such a background, her status cannot be compared with other concubines!

Therefore, it stands to reason that he, the King of Qin, can surely defeat him, the King of Qi!
Thinking of this, Zhu Xi said with a gloomy face: "Zhu Zhu! Are you contradicting me? How brave!"

talking.

Zhu Xi sneered: "Zhu Xi, last year you were killed and dismounted by Zhu Tan, and a group of guards died. You even lost your domain and was exiled to the grassland!

I thought you would be a bit bloody and sworn in with Zhu Tan!

Unexpectedly, I was frightened to death by Zhu Tan!

waste! "

Zhu Zhu looked at Zhu Xi and smiled coldly.

Zhu Xi was startled by Zhu Xi's smile.

"What do you want to do?"

The words fell.

Om-!
Zhu Zhu suddenly pulled out the short knife from his waist and stepped in front of Zhu Xi in three steps.

Swish-!
next second.

Zhu Xi felt a chill on his neck, and a creepy feeling from head to toe!
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked!
In just a moment, Zhu Zhu put the short knife on Zhu Xi's neck, but Zhu Xi had no power to resist!

No one remembered it until now.

Over the years, among the many vassal kings, the most aggressive, bloodthirsty and martial one was none other than the King of Qi, Zhu Su!
Last year.

King Zhu Shu of Qi was moved from Qingzhou to Kaiping by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his whole person became much more depressed.

It is estimated that many people have forgotten how violent Zhu Shu's temper was, how bloodthirsty he was, and how lawless he was!
Wuding Hou Guo Ying said anxiously: "His Royal Highness King Qi! No!"

There are also voices of dissuasion all around!
Zhu Di also shouted angrily: "Lao Qi! Don't be impulsive! Don't make a mistake!"

Lan Yu also advised: "His Royal Highness King Qi! Why are you doing this! There is no glory in bullying King Qin. In the palace back then, his skills were the worst among you!"

When Zhu Xi heard this, he was almost angry to death!

Lan Yu once taught all the princes boxing and kicking skills.

At that time, Zhu Ping was really not very good at martial arts.

However, now that I have a knife held to my neck, are you going too far by complaining about my skills like this?

Zhu Shu had a sullen face and laughed ferociously.

"Zhu Chen, I tell you! I speak for Zhu Tan because he is really powerful!
When I was in Kaiping, what I saw every day were those prairie barbarians causing trouble and killing our Ming soldiers and civilians!

I tried my best to fight those barbarians for a whole year, but I only killed a few thousand people!

Two hundred and seventy-nine people of Ming'er Lang were lost!
Where is Zhu Tan’s Lu Wangwei?
Along the way, my 200,000 Ming army suffered almost no losses and killed hundreds of thousands of prairie barbarians!

When I saw the look in their eyes, I knew that they were really scared!

Really in awe!

Zhu Tan was able to achieve such great results without injuring any of the good men of the Ming Dynasty. I can only admire him!

As for the holiday in your mouth
Ha ha!

I still hate Zhu Tan, but that doesn’t stop me from admiring him!
Do you understand? "

talking.

The blade in Zhu Shu's hand pressed hard inward.

Blood instantly flowed from Zhu Xi's neck!

Zhu Shu said coldly: "You don't understand! You idiot, you only make enemies and harm the weak! You only pick peaches after your generals pacify the eighteen tribes of Xifan, and undermine the authority of our Ming Dynasty!
How could my heroic father have a useless son like you! "

The sharp power of the sword and the severe pain in his neck made Zhu Xi panic to the extreme!

He felt that the Zhu Zhu in front of him might really kill him!
He exclaimed: "King Qi! You, you can't make a mistake! If I die! My father will not spare you!"

Seeing that the sword peak was getting sharper and sharper, Zhu Xi could not help but panic and said: "Lao Qi! I am your second brother! We are brothers! Don't be impulsive!"

Everyone saw blood dripping from Zhu Xi's neck and immediately panicked!

What is this thing called?

Why is this King of Qin so careless!

First, he made a bet with Zhu Tan and lost two million taels of silver!
Now I still don’t know how to pay them back!
Now he has another conflict with Zhu Su!
Zhu Shu smiled.

The knife in his hand moved away.

"Zhu Chen, if you don't have the ability, don't provoke people you can't afford! Compared with Zhu Tan, I am quite easy to talk to!"

talking.

Zhu Shu also licked the blood on the knife and laughed evilly.

"If you dared to mock me like this a year ago, I would really kill you! But now, I want to see you embarrassed in front of everyone!"

After Zhu Xi was released by Zhu Zhu, his whole body relaxed.

He collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, and his face was extremely embarrassed!
He shouted in a panic: "Come on, come on! Call the doctor! I hurt my neck! Come on!"

"Coward!"

Zhu Shu spat.

Everyone looked at Zhu Xi with contempt in their eyes. .
The Chinese military tent.

Guards were stationed at and around the door.

Feng Sheng and Zhu Tan walked in.

Feng Sheng calmly ordered: "No one is allowed to come in without my command!"

Standing in the tent, Feng Sheng asked: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, why do you want to see me? But what is the next move for the army?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "Exactly!"

Feng Sheng frowned and said: "Now Naha is right in front of us. As long as Jinshan is leveled, our Northern Expedition will be considered complete and we can go back to report to His Majesty!"
Although I have sent a third envoy to the city to persuade him to surrender, the situation is not optimistic! "

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "It is precisely because Naha refused to surrender that I have other ideas! I want to discuss it with Song Guogong!"

Hearing this, Feng Sheng asked, "What do you think?"

Zhu Tan said: "It stands to reason that Naha Chu is now facing a desperate situation! Why hasn't he surrendered? Is Na Ha Chu a loyal minister willing to be buried with Yuan Ting? But when the envoys sent two times before came back, they all said Na Ha Chu Treat them extremely politely! This is obviously not something that a strong minister can do! Mr. Song, tell me, why does Nahachu treat us so politely even though he refuses to surrender?
