Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 344: Full support, the war begins

"I have already come into contact with some ministers. They have given strong support to the monarch and are extremely indignant and disgusted with the regent's rule."

Hu Weiyong looked at the notebook in his hand and recounted the results of the contacts over the past two days.

As the former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, in order to assist Zhu Zhanjun in managing the entire Great Yan Kingdom, Hu Weiyong was pulled up again and was directly parachuted into the position of leader of the civil service group and became the prime minister of the Great Yan Kingdom.

And this proposal was put forward by Lao Zhu.

In Zhu's words, although Hu Weiyong was greedy and arrogant, his abilities were beyond doubt.

With mutual recommendations from various generals, Gongsun Qi took the top position in the military group.

There is no way. No one can replace the opponent's reputation and prestige among the generals.

Even Li Jing was respectful when he met Gongsun Qi.

During these two days, Hu Weiyong and Gongsun Qi had brief exchanges with the court officials and gave their judgments in their hearts.

The two men already had a judgment in their minds about who would stay, who would be kicked out, and who would be sent to jail, and they came here to report today.

However, Gongsun Qi led the main army to the north, and his apprentice Zhu Houzhao reported on his behalf.

Zhu Houzhao was a very shameless guy. In order to learn how to fight a war, he shamelessly asked Zhu Zhanjun to be his instructor and wanted to take Gongsun Qi as his master.

This guy is usually very filial to him, and he is also his junior, so Zhu Zhanjun is happy to promote a master-disciple relationship between them.

Hu Weiyong put the notebook in his hand on the table and concluded: "Half of the officials in the court should be directly eliminated, either dismissed or transferred to the local areas."

"As for the other half, some can be put to important positions, while others are average in ability but loyal to the court. They can be placed in unnecessary departments, such as censors, etc."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and looked at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting at the bottom.

Zhu Houzhao, who was eating fruit, quickly wiped his hands and took out a memorial written by his teacher Gongsun Qi from his arms.

"Based on the investigations my master and I have conducted over the past two days, there is no problem with the overall strength of the generals. They were all trained in the military academy system. In addition, the country has been established for less than 20 years, so their fighting spirit and loyalty to Your Majesty have not dissipated."

"Except for some elderly people who are planning to retire, most of the rest are available for use."

“Some of those who lack the ability can be transferred to the logistics department or other unimportant positions.”

"Among the generals on the regent's side, many have outstanding abilities. For example, there is a man named Liu Qian. After my master assessed him, he gave him the evaluation that he is as good at attacking as a tiger and defending as a mountain."

"Is it really that amazing?" Zhu Zhanjun became interested.

Gongsun Qi did not often praise others. Among the generals under him, only Li Jing and Huo Qubing were given good evaluations, while the others were only average.

There is someone under the Regent who can receive such high evaluation, which shows how talented this person is.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "This man is good in every way, except that he is too dull. Perhaps because of his personality, he is not given a high position by the regent and is only appointed as a lieutenant on duty."

"By the way, my master has taken him with him. He told me that he plans to observe and hone his skills for a while longer."

"If he is not pretending, our Ming Dynasty will have another general who is like a military god."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, not taking it too seriously.

Not to mention the issue of loyalty, Gongsun Qi knew his character. If this man named Liu Qian had great hatred towards the imperial court, Gongsun Qi would not even look at him, no matter how capable he was.

Now that he has chosen to keep the other person by his side, it means that there is no problem with this person's loyalty and faith. With a little training, he can become a reliable general.

"Tell your master to observe and train him carefully. Also..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Before Zhu Zhanjun could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

Everyone stopped talking, and Zhu Zhanjun frowned slightly and said, "Come in."

The young eunuch was unaware and walked in with an official.

Being in the palace, Zhu Zhanjun needed someone to help him manage it.

The mute little eunuch didn't know that he was his personal eunuch and a loyal man. When Zhu Zhanjun was gathering the army, he brought him with him and made him the chief of the internal guards of the Great Yan Kingdom's palace.

He walked in and gestured quickly a few times.

The general meaning is that we have no choice but to disturb you because of important military intelligence.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded slightly and looked at the official.

The official saluted hastily and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the Fusang Kingdom has launched an attack on Wanghai Prefecture with a force of up to two divisions. The local guard corps has suffered heavy casualties. I request Your Majesty to send reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanjun stood up suddenly, took the telegram and read it quickly.

After reading the above content, he slammed the table heavily.

"You damned little idiots, I haven't even looked for you yet, but you've already shown up at my door."

"Okay, I was thinking of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys and deter others. Since you popped up yourself, I will kill you, the chicken, first."

Zhu Zhanjun led everyone to the huge military map hanging nearby and found Wanghai Prefecture in the northeast.

The terrain of the Great Yan Kingdom's world is extremely similar to that of Yanhuang.

The location of Wanghai Mansion is probably the same area where the sticks are located.

However, in this world, there is no country called Bangzi. It has always been the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The official stepped forward and quickly marked the combat status of the two sides.

He also explained: "Since we already have a plan to march into Fuso, we have stationed more than 60 troops in the northern region." "But in order to prevent the plan from being leaked in advance and making the enemy too alert, the nearest legion is still miles away. If we want to get there, we need at least dark."

While the official was explaining, Zhu Houzhao leaned forward and whispered, "The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army has a very unclear attitude..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Zhanjun reached out to stop him.

"Fighting the enemy is the code of conduct for soldiers and their mission. I don't care what his attitude is. Send him a telegram. Within three hours, I want to receive a reply that the troops have arrived at the battlefield."

"If we win, everything will be fine. If we lose, I will shoot him myself."

Hearing this, the official who was still introducing the matter breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Yes, I will send a message to him right away."

After the other party left, Zhu Zhanjun said to Zhu Houzhao: "Ask Zheng Zilong where they are, and send an order to the Andongwei Air Force Base to send air forces at all costs to reinforce Wanghai Prefecture."

After Zhu Houzhao left, Zhu Zhanjun came to the map with his hands behind his back, looking at the terrain that had changed from insects to maggots due to the expansion of area, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Since you are not honest, I will kill you first!"

The telegram was quickly sent.

Eighty miles north of Wanghai Prefecture, at the huge army garrison, the radio station in the command center kept ringing, and the staff officers were busy but not chaotic, sending out telegrams one after another.

Sitting on the main seat in the center, a white-haired old man was looking at the map in front of him silently, his eyes fixed on the area of ​​Wanghai Mansion.

"Is there any news from the court?"

After a long time, the old man spoke and asked the combat staff beside him.

He is a veteran whose hometown is in this area. When Dayan was first established, Fuso invaded massively and his hometown was persecuted.

His parents, wife and children all died tragically at the hands of the Japanese, but he was out of town at the time and luckily escaped with his life.

When he got home, he found that he was the only one left in the family. The pain and sadness almost drove him crazy.

A passing army took him away, and in revenge, he killed every Fuso person he saw.

With years of military exploits and hard work, he became one of the major commanders of the Great Yan Kingdom.

In order to express his gratitude to Ying Zheng for promoting him, he followed his orders without hesitation. After receiving the news of Ying Zheng's fall, he felt very complicated.

There is guilt towards her benefactor, reminder of her own responsibilities, and helplessness towards the cruelty of the little emperor.

The court sent him several telegrams to appease him, but he did not give any response, expressing his inner dissatisfaction.

When he received the news of the invasion from Fuso in the morning, he did not send troops immediately, but instead ordered his troops to prepare.

It’s not that he doesn’t hate the Japanese, but his current situation is too special.

If he mobilized troops without the court's order, the other side would have an advantage over him.

As far as he knew, the Regent was still alive, but was under custody. Those promoted by the Regent were the Regent's last resort.

If they fall, the Regent will definitely not end well.

On one side was his benefactor, and on the other side was national hatred and family feud. He was torn.

The staff officer shook his head, "Hasn't received it yet."

"bump!"

Slamming his fist on the table, the old man suddenly stood up, wanting to give the order for the troops to attack at all costs.

But after opening his mouth for a long time, he just couldn't utter the words of command.

The other officers in the tent did not urge him, for they understood their commander's difficulties.

Just when everyone was secretly sighing that the people would be the ones hurt by the internal strife in the court, a communications staff officer ran in excitedly and shouted, "Your Majesty's telegram!"

Everyone looked at him suddenly. The staff officer waved the telegram and shouted, "His Majesty has ordered the Northern Army to immediately reinforce Wanghai Prefecture and strike hard at the enemy. He also stated at the end that if we win, everything will be fine. If we lose, he will come and kill you personally."

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only the commander was in pain, they were also in pain.

Their country was invaded, but their army was restricted due to internal strife in the court.

Now that we have His Majesty's decree, we can talk about this matter.

If you win, you will let bygones be bygones; if you lose, you will settle both old and new accounts.

After taking the telegram and confirming it, the veteran, who had been somewhat depressed, suddenly became radiant, turned back to his command position and shouted, "I give the order."

"Hua La!" The generals stood at attention in an orderly manner.

The old general waved his hand and said, "According to the battle plan, reinforce and annihilate the enemy. Your Majesty, give me three hours, and I will give you two hours. In addition, before the sun sets, drive all these damned little idiots into the sea to feed the sharks."

"Yes!"

The generals roared, turned around and strode out of the tent, conveyed orders to their respective troops, and quickly reinforced Wanghai Mansion.

At the same time, at the Andongwei Air Force Base, biplanes took off one after another and rushed to Wanghai Mansion at the fastest speed, ready to provide air support to the brothers who were fighting hard.

At the Beijing Airport, the Ming fighter planes, which had been fully fueled and loaded with ammunition, quickly climbed into the sky and flew northeast under the leadership of Gao Hang.
