Chapter 33: King Zhou's Surprise
This kind of big war...... I don't know when, Zhu Gongfang has lowered his expectations to the point that as long as the officers and troops are undefeated. As for any other big victory over the enemy, he had long been out of the question.
Besides, Zhu Gongyu is not the old Fu King who was made into Fushou soup. He has some combat power for the soldiers in Shandong Town, but he knows it in his heart. The soldiers of Shandong Town, it is good to be able to enter the city to help defend the city. Can...... can take the initiative to defeat Li Zicheng's generals, but in Zhu Gongyu's opinion, it is a fantasy.
Thinking like this, Zhu Gongyu suddenly felt extremely hot with the holy decree in his hand.
But this kind of thing...... Zhu Gongfang couldn't resist.
Since Zhu Cihong had already led his troops and began to march towards Kaifeng, Zhu Gongqi had no other way but to passively respond.
Zhu Gongqi can't order Zhu Cihong not to come?
Let's not talk about whether Zhu Gongqi has this power, let's just talk about the ability at the moment...... You Zhu Gongyu is a prince, but you are the prince of a country. wants to talk about the oppression of generations, but is bound by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. In this way, Zhu Gongyu seems to have no other influence except for a large gold owner, so naturally he has no ability to stop it.
As for using the name of the Henan provincial government to refuse the rescue of Shandong Town, that is even more delusional.
Zhu Cihong's current identity is the supervisor of Shandong Town. The soldiers of Shandong Town wanted to enter the city to rescue Kaifeng, and Gao Mingheng and the generals of the city could jump up with joy. At this time, Zhu Gongyu went to refuse Zhu Cihong's arrival, wasn't he looking for trouble?
But......
At present, Kaifeng is already in danger, and millions of troops outside the city are besieging it, and Zhu Cihong has come all the way over, isn't he going to die?
"If the prince dies in Kaifeng, then if he dies in the hands of Lone......" Zhu Gongyu gasped slightly. If Zhu Gongfang hangs up himself, then it's fine. The prince of King Zhou is hereditary, and his descendants can inherit it. As long as the family can escape, it will not be miserable.
But if the prince died in Kaifeng, then the king of Zhou would die himself. Don't want to live a good life if you're young!
He could completely imagine how Zhu Youzhen, such a mean, unkind, impatient and anxious emperor would treat the death of the crown prince!
Since it is impossible to refuse...... And there is such a huge real threat. The only thing left for Zhu Gongfang was to do his best to keep Kaifeng.
Only as Zhu Youzhen thought, with Zhu Cihong's status as the prince, forced reinforcements from all walks of life to come to help.
Besides, the prince has arrived, and the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City always have reason to believe it...... The court didn't give up on them, did it?
Thinking so...... It seems that there is a little bit of good news......" Zhu Gongyu smiled bitterly.
At this moment, he has accepted his fate.
Suddenly...... There was a rush of footsteps.
I saw Zhu Gongqiao's cronies and eunuch He Yi rushing into Zhu Gongqiao's house in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness...... Your Highness...... Great joy, great joy! ”
"Li Yan and the Red Lady have returned to the army!" He Yi rushed in. Worship on the ground.
After listening to this, Zhu Gongyu subconsciously felt that his heart was sinking.
How can the enemy come with reinforcements, how can this be considered a happy event?
But Zhu Gongyu only pondered slightly, and suddenly understood what this meant.
"Come on, how many soldiers does the Red Lady and Li Yan have?" Zhu Gongyu said eagerly.
He Yi nodded violently: "The slave maid has already found out, Li Yan and the Red Lady are only four thousand soldiers!" There are only more than 3,000 soldiers to fight! ”
"Really?" Zhu Gongyu's eyes suddenly widened.
He Yi also relaxed at this time, and said to Zhu Gongyu with a smile: "Lord Wang, this matter is true. Futai is waiting in the foyer, and the prince can ask in person. ”
Zhu Gongqi took a deep breath slightly. Hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, please!" ”
He Yi immediately ran out again.
When he arrived at this, Zhu Gongyu suddenly remembered that the letter sent by Zhu Cihong hadn't been read carefully!
"Careless, careless! Maybe it's really a godsend? Zhu Gongqi thought. Hurriedly read the private letter covered with Prince Zhu Cihong's private seal carefully.
Just a slight look, Zhu Gongyu's eyebrows suddenly raised.
"Dongming war report?" Zhu Gongyu muttered, feeling a little meaningful.
Just watched for a while. Zhu Gongyu's expression became solemn: "This battle has the ancient charm of Tianji horse racing......"
Epistles. It is about Zhu Cihong's situation in the First Battle of the Eastern Ming Dynasty.
"I actually only have three cards in my hand. One is the worst card, Liu Zeqing's Shandong Town and Liu Zhen's mixed soldiers. One is in the middle. Medium hand that is neither good nor bad. It is on the bright side, supported by 2,000 recruits such as Wu Jinshi. The best cards are actually the artillery and firecrackers that I have formed by hiding from the world, and even ...... Even my guards counted. Li Yan, on the other hand, can be said to have a medium card, both of which are good cards. ”
"However, Liu Zeqing's worst card has played a little role because of some selfishness. In the end, there were brave generals like Liu Zhen, so they temporarily dragged the Red Lady's soldiers. This is the worst inferior card, catching Li Yan's superior card. ”
At this time, everyone originally thought that the weak and powerless new army showed its tenacious combat power and dragged Li Nian's soldiers. Again, it's a medium hand against a top hand, which can't be won, but it can hold time. And this time ...... My top card came out, and he unexpectedly played it at the crucial moment, facing the only medium card under Li Yan's hand. Thereupon...... The attack of artillery and fire guns combined with the personal guards defeated Qin Daluo, Shi Jiuyun and other thief generals under Li Yan. And the retreat of Qin Daluo, Shi Jiuyun and others exposed Li Nian's flanks. ”
"At this point, the fighting spirit of the thieves will be incomprehensible, and the collapse of the entire army can be predicted. This is my overall consideration of the Dongming War! ”
Zhu Gongzi read it carefully. At the end, when he saw Zhu Cihong's sincere words and hoped that Zhu Gongqiao would pay attention to the talents in Kaifeng City, Zhu Gongqiao twisted his eyebrows slightly, and his original deep-rooted obsession was slightly shaken.
Even some other postscripts in the letter, Zhu Gongqiao also carefully remembered them in his heart and no longer questioned himself.
"Perhaps...... Maybe it's really a good country. If the sky doesn't want to die, what about my Daming? Zhu Gongyu pondered.
After a while, He Yi returned. Accompanied by He Yi's footsteps, Gao Mingheng's voice said clearly: "Your Highness, Li Yanhong's subordinates have suffered heavy losses, and there are only more than 3,000 soldiers left who can fight, and their status among the thieves has been greatly reduced. This time, the sentry could know that it was also because Li Yan and the Red Lady were both sent to the most bitter and tiring positions. It can be seen that the good news of the First Battle of the Eastern Ming Dynasty should be there. I will not die on this day, and the right way is in the light! ”
"It is indeed a great joy, a great joy!" Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, saw that Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, was coming, and got up to greet him with a smile, but his expression became low when he smiled and smiled. (To be continued......)
