Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 97 Chu Nan was numb, accidentally overdosed the poison and poisoned himself! Can this plan be withdrawn?

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his eyes were filled with heat.

"This time, it depends on whether the people of Beiyuan dare to gamble. If they dare to gamble, then I will destroy them!"

"They don't dare to gamble, so I will let them survive for a few more days."

"No matter what, the Northern Yuan Dynasty must be destroyed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of fighting spirit. For hundreds of years, ever since the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains had been bullied by the nomads in the north.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out the Northern Yuan Dynasty and conquered the former Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was never destroyed. It was always a thorn in his side and a huge rock weighing on the heads of all the people in the Central Plains.

Now there is finally a chance to completely eradicate them, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to seize this opportunity, even if he has to lead the army in person, even if he has to gamble with his own life!
Haha, now let’s see how capable these Northern Yuan people are and whether they can stop my army!
And there is the Nuzhen people, who appear to be submissive to the Ming Dynasty, but secretly harbor evil ambitions and collude with the Northern Yuan people!

And instead of helping the Ming Dynasty, he was actually thinking of running away? Hiding from the Ming Dynasty?
It should be destroyed as well!

The Nuzhen tribe had less than 100,000 people, yet they dared to disobey the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang planned to deal with them this time.

Then he looked at the three people in front of him and gave orders directly.

"Pass my order!"

"Gather another 100,000 troops. I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief, with Xu Da as the deputy commander, Tang He and Li Wenzhong accompanying the army. In ten days, we will set out to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

Seeing this, Chu Nan was also shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang was really determined this time. Not only did he bring so many famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, but he also planned to send troops in just ten days.

You know, an army of 100,000 means that there must be five or even ten times the logistics in the rear. It takes an unknown amount of time to prepare them.

But Zhu Yuanzhang only prepared for ten days, he was really impatient.

But these had nothing to do with him. Chu Nan just wanted to trick Zhu Yuanzhang to the grassland and live a peaceful life there. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him for strategies every day, and he was annoyed.

"Chu Nan." But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan and spoke.

"You should also go back and prepare well, and follow me into battle."

"Ah?" But when Chu Nan heard this, he was shocked and refused directly.

"Your Majesty, I am a civil servant, and I am delicate and weak. I cannot even kill a chicken. I dare not kill anyone, and I do not know how to fight."

"What's wrong with the civil servants?" But Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed when he heard Chu Nan's words.

"Then Zhuge Liang is a civil servant, right? Guo Jia is a civil servant, right? They didn't go to the battlefield, and Zhuge Liang commanded the army. Would he kill a chicken?"

"And you, Chu Nan, don't dare to kill people? You, Chu Nan, are so vicious, and you don't dare to kill people? Who are you kidding?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked disdainful, but then he laughed: "Besides, I still advise you to follow me to the north. After I leave Nanjing, Hu Weiyong will be in charge. Do you think Hu Weiyong will give you a good life if you stay here?"

"Yes." After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Chu Nan suddenly came to his senses.

How could he forget about this? Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have both left, and Hu Weiyong will be in charge of Nanjing. He will be in danger then.

It would be safer to follow Zhu Yuanzhang and speak directly.

"Your Majesty, I am still willing to follow you, not because I am afraid of death, but because I want to give you advice and do my best!"

After Chu Nan finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. He really shot himself in the foot.

If I hadn't suggested Zhu Yuanzhang to lead the army in person, I wouldn't have to go to the grassland to starve. Now on the grassland in the early Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid there is not much to eat, just cheese buns, milk tea spring rolls and so on.

"Hahahaha." Seeing Chu Nan like this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao present burst into laughter.

Because they thought it was really interesting, they didn't expect to see Chu Nan go back on his word and be in such an embarrassing situation.

After being shocked by Chu Nan's vicious scheme for ten thousand years, they finally got a little satisfaction.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not delay this order for long. After Chu Nan and the other two left the palace, he immediately issued it.

It caused an uproar in the court, and many court officials directly opposed it, which was the same question Zhu Yuanzhang thought at the beginning.

Why should the emperor lead the army in person? It won't do anything for the war situation. At most, it can boost morale, but if they lose the war, it will be a big problem. So they don't support it.

In the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who overcame all objections and finally made them agree.

After they agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered the mobilization of troops. One hundred thousand troops were quickly assembled, and the logistics department also took action.

Prepare food, medicine, clothing, weapons, horses and vehicles for this 100,000-strong army.

The 100,000 troops Zhu Yuanzhang recruited were all very powerful troops. They had 20,000 cavalry, and the rest were not all infantry, there were also several thousand firearms troops.

However, although Chu Nan's firearms have been invented, they have not yet been mass-produced. Therefore, the Ming army's firearms units are still using old-fashioned firearms.

But it doesn’t matter. After all, the Ming army’s firearms are still stronger than those of the Northern Yuan army, and they can actually win without relying on firearms.

Because most of these 100,000 troops were veterans who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his battles and fought against Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Moreover, although there were only 100,000 people, the generals leading the troops included famous generals such as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Tang He, so the combat effectiveness of this army was very strong.

Therefore, seeing this situation, those ministers who had originally opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's attack, and even the people of Jinling, all supported it.

After all, they also wanted the Northern Yuan Dynasty to be completely destroyed. During the period of Northern Yuan Dynasty's rule, the Central Plains was too dark. They had all experienced it, so they never wanted to experience that darkness again.

So, ten days later.

Jinling, Xuanwu Gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army has been assembled, and he is about to set out from here with the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, all the officials who stayed behind in Jinling came out to see him off, and many of the people of Jinling also came out spontaneously to see him off.

Some people hope that the Ming army can destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty and return victoriously.

Some people came to see off their relatives, because they had relatives serving in the army and they hoped they would return safely.

Although Chu Nan had no relatives in the Ming Dynasty, all the servants in his family came to see him off on that day.

The housekeeper looked worried: "Sir, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, you must be careful!"

The servant looked miserable: "Sir, you must be okay. We have never seen such a good master like you. We have full meals every day and a lot of money every month. You must be okay!"

Xihua and the other four girls also cried: "My lord, you must come back safely. We are still waiting for you to do... that with us. You are nineteen years old and still haven't... that. You will be laughed at in the Ming Dynasty."
