Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 95: Welcoming the great grandson of the Emperor Yunxun into his loyal Yingtian Mansion
"The Emperor's grandson Yunxun is here!"

Li Jinglong and Geng Bingwen felt the ground shaking and their expressions were shocked at the same time.

Afterwards, one of them looked excited while the other looked sad.

Li Jinglong smiled broadly, stepped forward, patted Geng Bingwen on the shoulder, and said, "Marquis Changxing, please stay here for a while. I will go to welcome the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan into the city."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and walked away.

"Alas, I don't know if Your Majesty can leave." Geng Bingwen sighed in his heart.

He defended Changxing for ten years, and it was as solid as a rock.

Yingtian Prefecture. Although he was careless and fell into Li Jinglong's trap, it is an indisputable fact that it fell in one day.

Human power cannot defeat God’s choice.

Kunning Palace!
Mrs. Lu sat quietly on the bed, her expression dazed.

Zhu Yunhuan was about to break in, but the city of Yingtian Prefecture, with its high and thick walls, could not hold him back for even a day and fell directly.

"The true dragon emperor. Haha." A bitter look appeared on Lu's face, and he felt deeply powerless in his heart.

She did everything.

However, Zhu Yunhuan was completely unreasonable and was simply chosen by God.

The city gate is so thick? Heavenly fire explodes the gate. How can we fight it?
"Boom!"

Zhu Yunwen hurried to the front of Lu, looking anxious: "Mother, Yingtian Prefecture can no longer be defended. Let's go quickly."

"Wen'er, why are you here?" When Mrs. Lu saw Zhu Yunwen, she was stunned.

Immediately, her expression changed, and she said anxiously, "Wen'er, hurry up and leave Yingtian Prefecture!"

Without the city gate, Zhu Yunhuan could break into Yingtian Prefecture at any time. After Zhu Yunhuan entered Yingtian Prefecture, anyone could survive, but Emperor Zhu Yunwen would surely die.

"Mom, let's go together!" Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Lu touched Zhu Yunwen's head, her face full of kindness, and shook her head, saying, "No, mother has been in this palace all her life, and I don't know where to go if I leave, so I won't leave."

"Mother" Zhu Yunwen was about to persuade.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

"Swish!"

The expressions of both Lu and Zhu Yunwen changed at the same time, and the same thought popped up in their minds: "Zhu Yunhuan is going to attack the city!"

"Mother" Zhu Yunwen looked anxious.

Mrs. Lu pushed Zhu Yunwen away and said, "Wen'er, hurry up and leave, otherwise it will be too late."

"Mother" Zhu Yunwen's face was full of pain.

"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. Zhu Yunhuan doesn't dare to do anything to me. Wait until the princes eliminate Zhu Yunhuan, then come back." Lu urged.

At this moment, the longer Zhu Yunwen stayed in Yingtian Prefecture, the more danger he would face. Only by quickly escaping from Yingtian Prefecture would he have a glimmer of hope of survival.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were red, and he said, "Mother, take care!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the palace.

"Alas," Lu sighed and murmured, "Your Highness, if you are still alive, please help Wen'er escape."

Courtyard!

Zhu Yuanzhang had a complicated expression. The current situation showed that Zhu Yunhuan's taking control of Yingtian Prefecture was a foregone conclusion.

Thinking back to when Zhu Yunhuan started his rebellion, it all seems like yesterday.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Li came over hurriedly.

At this moment, Yingtian Prefecture was experiencing a huge change. As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he was extremely busy and running around.

"Has Yunwen left Yingtian Prefecture now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

He knew very well that if Zhu Yunwen stayed in Yingtian Prefecture, he would die.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out, but as long as we are alive, there is hope.

I hope that this thing can be magnified infinitely at some point.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan would never let Zhu Yunwen live, otherwise Zhu Yunhuan would not only be caught in endless assassinations, but his throne would also be criticized.

No matter what, Zhu Yunwen was the legitimate heir to the throne, and he was the emperor for a period of time. Although Zhu Yunhuan was the legitimate heir, it was an indisputable fact that he rebelled and seized the throne.

"Not yet." Jiang Li shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, then he picked up the package beside him and handed it to Jiang Lin, saying, "Give this package to Yun Wen and tell him to open it when he is alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Li nodded and left with the package.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Li's back, his eyes lost in thought: "I hope it will work."

In front of the city gate!
A group of Ming Dynasty soldiers looked nervous and looked ahead with uneasiness.

At this moment, they are like a small boat in the vast ocean, weak and helpless.

The city defense that was going well turned into a brutal frontal attack and defense in the blink of an eye.

Can they be a match for the world-famous Snow Dragon Cavalry and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?

"Boom!"

The sound of the cavalry charging was getting closer and closer, deafening.

In the sight, a long fire dragon suddenly appeared in the originally dark night sky, so vast that it stretched as far as the eye could see, and was heading towards the city gate.

"The Emperor's grandson Yunxun is here!"

Everyone's expression froze at the same time.

Unlike the solemn expressions of the soldiers, Li Jinglong was extremely excited at this moment: "Here he comes, the grandson of the Emperor Yunhu is coming!"

Taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, everyone put down your weapons and let us welcome the grandson of the emperor Yunxun into the city!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers defending the city were stunned and looked at each other.

What did they hear? They laid down their weapons and welcomed the grandson of the emperor, Yun Hun, into the city. What was going on?

The tense mood suddenly stagnated.

"Yes, you heard me correctly. I want you to lay down your weapons and prepare to welcome the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan into the city."

"I, Li Jinglong, am not afraid of death, but I don't want my brothers to die fearlessly."

"You should have all seen that the city gates have been destroyed by heavenly fire. Now no one can stop the emperor's grandson Yun Hun from entering the city. If we still fail to recognize the reality, we will be ruthlessly torn apart by the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Think about your wives, children, and elders. What will happen to them if you die? We are now fighting against the Northern Yuan bandits. If you die in battle, your families will not receive any compensation and may even be labeled as traitors."

"Of course, whether or not to surrender depends on your own choice. If you choose to fight to the death, I, Li Jinglong, will accompany you!"

Li Jinglong spoke loudly, and in this quiet night, his voice was clearly heard by every soldier defending the city.

It became even quieter in front of the city gate.

The soldiers defending the city looked struggling.

The moment the city gate disappeared, they had the answer in their hearts.

If it were any other time, with such a result, the army's morale would have collapsed long ago, but this was the early Ming Dynasty, and these people were the soldiers led by Zhu Yuanzhang. Although they were on the verge of collapse at this moment, they still persisted. They mustered up their courage, came to the city gate, and prepared to fight to the death.

However, Li Jinglong's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After they die, their families will be labeled as traitors?
This was not the time when he just followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly thirty years.

A stable life allows people to start settling down, getting married and having children.

"Clang!" The sound of a weapon falling to the ground was heard, and it seemed so harsh in the silent night sky.

"Shhhhh!"

Countless eyes looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A young soldier knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, crying bitterly: "My son was born only last month, and I don't want him to become a rebel."

"Clang!"

Another sound of a weapon falling to the ground was heard.

"Clang!"

"Dang!" With the third and fourth sounds, more and more soldiers threw away their weapons and stood there with complicated expressions.

They breathed a sigh of relief because they no longer had to face the terrifying Snow Dragon Cavalry and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. However, they were tormented in their hearts. One soldier dropped his weapon!

"Li Jinglong, you villain!" Guo Ying ran back and saw the scene in front of him, his teeth gnashing.

He never expected that at this last moment, the soldiers should have fought to the death to repay the emperor's grace, but were instead instigated by Li Jinglong to surrender.

"Marquis Wuding" Li Jinglong was all smiles.

The overall situation had been decided, and it was too late for Guo Ying to come back now, so he was too lazy to pay attention to Guo Ying's disrespectful words.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Guo Ying rushed towards Li Jinglong with an angry face. He wanted to capture Li Jinglong, and then organize everyone to rekindle their fighting spirit and fight Zhu Yunhuan to the death.

Defend the city, this is the order Zhu Yuanzhang gave him, he must fight to the last moment!
Li Jinglong looked at Guo Ying rushing towards him, without any fear on his face, but instead shook his head in disdain.

Just a reckless man who doesn't understand the situation.

If he was the one who misled everyone in the beginning, he admitted it, but now everyone had obviously made a decision.

The overall situation is decided!

The current situation is that everyone has decided to surrender, but Guo Ying disagrees and insists on dragging everyone down with him.

When a person thinks differently from others, his failure is inevitable.

It has nothing to do with feudalism or not.

This is also the biggest reason why institutional reforms in history often lead to bloodshed!
"Shhhhh!"

Before Guo Ying could rush to Li Jinglong, he was pinned to the ground by more than a dozen soldiers and was unable to move.

"let me go!"

"Let me go!"

Guo Ying struggled hard, but to no avail.

Li Jinglong walked up to Guo Ying calmly and said, "Marquis Wuding, the emperor's grandson Yunhu's entry into the city is inevitable. Why do you insist on taking everyone with you to die?"

"Bah! Li Jinglong, His Majesty is really blind to trust you." Guo Ying spat at Li Jinglong and cursed loudly.

Li Jinglong looked at Guo Ying, who refused to budge, and his expression turned cold. He waved his hand and said, "Push him down and lock him up with the Marquis of Changxing. Leave him to the disposal of the Emperor's grandson Yunhuan."

"Yes!" Several soldiers carried Guo Ying away.

"Li Jinglong, you villain, you will get your comeuppance."

"Li Jinglong, the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan will not employ a villain like you."

Guo Ying's voice gradually faded away until it finally disappeared.

"Huh" Li Jinglong took a deep breath, sorted himself out, and led a group of soldiers out of the city.

Yingtian Prefecture, on the street.

Zhu Yunwen, accompanied by several guards, walked hurriedly with Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Li appeared in front of Zhu Yunwen and blocked his way.

"Shhhhh!"

The expressions of several guards changed. They drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.

Jiang Li is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although he appears alone now, if he wants to capture Zhu Yunwen, he will definitely not come alone. There must be many Embroidered Uniform Guards hiding around him.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Jiang Li with a gloomy face and said, "Jiang Li, are you going to arrest me?"

"Commander Jiang, His Majesty has treated you well. You should be grateful."

"Jiang Li, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he still appointed you as the commander of the Imperial Guard. Is this how you repay His Majesty?"

"Jiang Li, although Zhu Yunhuan has won now, don't forget that the princes are rushing towards Yingtian Prefecture. It's still uncertain who will win in the end!"

"."

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai all spoke up.

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, my three lords, you have misunderstood."

As he spoke, he took out the package, stepped forward and handed it to Zhu Yunwen, saying: "Your Majesty, this was given to me by Emperor Taizu before his death. I asked me to give it to you when you are in great crisis."

"call"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were relieved when they saw that Jiang Li was not here to capture Zhu Yunwen. Then they were filled with emotion. They did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang had left a backup plan for Zhu Yunwen before his death.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu also told you not to open the package in front of others. You can only open it when you are alone." Jiang Lin whispered to Zhu Yunwen.

After doing all this, he bowed deeply to Zhu Yunwen, turned around and walked away.

"Grandfather Emperor" Zhu Yunwen held the package with a complicated expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned and ran towards an inn not far away.

He wanted to know what Zhu Yuanzhang had left for him. Since it was given to him only when he was in great crisis, it was most likely an opportunity for him to escape danger and survive.

"This"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other in confusion.

"Let's wait a moment." Huang Zicheng said.

Although the situation is extremely critical now, since it is something left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Yunwen, and it is something that can only be taken out in times of great crisis, he thinks it is okay to wait.

Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai nodded.

"What did Emperor Taizu leave for Your Majesty?" The three of them were very curious.

Moreover, Zhu Yunwen deliberately ran away, which must have been Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Otherwise, based on their understanding of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen would not have avoided them.

Inside the inn!
Zhu Yunwen carefully opened the package and took out the contents.

A letter, a map, a razor, a monk's robe, and a certificate of ordination.

"What does the emperor mean by this? He wants me to become a monk?" Zhu Yunwen looked shocked, his face gloomy and uncertain.

Taking a deep breath, he picked up the letter, opened it, and read the words on it: "Yun Wen, when you see this letter, you must have encountered a crisis concerning life and death. Grandpa Huang can no longer protect you. If you have no other options, do as Grandpa Huang says. There is a route on the map. This is your escape route. Use a razor to shave your hair and put on your monk's robes."

Zhu Yunwen finished reading the contents of the letter with a complicated expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang did leave him a way to survive, but the price was that he had to shave his head.

"Huh" After hesitating for a while, Zhu Yunwen made a decision in his heart. He now had no choice. Compared with running away with Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, Zhu Yuanzhang's method of staying behind was obviously more reliable.

"Shhhhh!"

Strands of hair fell to the ground. Due to his unfamiliarity, he even accidentally injured his scalp, causing blood to flow down his cheek. But he no longer cared about these things at the moment. Staying alive was the most important thing.

Zhu Yunhuan has already attacked the city, and the city gate is gone. It is unknown how long Li Jinglong can hold on. For safety reasons, he must escape from Yingtian Prefecture as soon as possible, or disguise himself and hide.

In front of the city gate!
"what's the situation?"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong looked at each other. They had already prepared to attack the city, but now the Ming soldiers defending the city came out directly.

Is this a fight to the death with them?
His courage is commendable, but his behavior is very stupid!
Although the city gate of Yingtian Prefecture is gone, the advantages of the city still exist. Fighting by guarding the city gate is still the best option. Is it crazy to go out of the city and fight head-on with such terrifying troops as the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?
"Zhu Gaoxu!" Li Jinglong walked out of the crowd and greeted Zhu Gaoxu with a smile.

"Li Jinglong?" Zhu Gaoxu was startled, surprised, yet relieved. "I never thought Zhu Yunwen would let you lead the army, and even take on such an important task as guarding the city gate. What's going on? Are you planning to fight me?"

He no longer had any doubts in his heart, nor did he feel impressed by the courage of the Ming troops leaving the city. Giving up the advantage of the city and leading the troops out of the city was something Li Jinglong could do.

"No, no, no, Zhu Gaoxu, you misunderstood. I am not here to fight with you. I am here to welcome the grandson of the Emperor Yunhu." Li Jinglong waved his hand.

Immediately, he looked towards the rear of the troops and said, "By the way, where is the Emperor Yunxun's grandson?"

"Jinglong, how are you?" Zhu Yunhuan rode his warhorse, slowly walked forward and said with a smile.

When Li Jinglong saw Zhu Yunhuan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and knelt down in obeisance: "Li Jinglong, I pay my respects to His Highness the Grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan!"

"What's going on?" Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng, Sheng Yong, Ma Sanbao, Tang He, Tie Xuan and others were all stunned when they saw this.

Zhu Yunhuan dismounted and stepped forward, helping Li Jinglong to his feet. He said, "Jinglong, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Li Jinglong stood up and looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a flattering look on his face. He said, "Your Highness, I am here to welcome you into the city."

After saying this, he waved his hand behind him and said loudly: "Grandson Yunxun is here, what are you waiting for? Kneel down and pay your respects!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Upon hearing this, all the Ming soldiers knelt down and said in unison: "Greetings to the Grandson of the Emperor Yunhu!"

"what?"

"Damn it, this guy Li Jinglong actually surrendered!"

The expressions of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong changed instantly. They all felt extremely disgusted. This was the achievement of breaking the city that was right at their fingertips!
