Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 897 Digging Trenches

The trenches only appeared during the First World War. Although Li Yan was smart, how could he think of things two or three hundred years later!

Not to mention Li Yan, Zhu Cihong didn't even know what was going on in the trenches at first!He just did what his father asked him to do.

Later, after seeing the blueprints given to him by his father, Zhu Cihong suddenly realized that it was so!

When Li Yan asked what a trench was, Zhu Cihong didn't explain it to him, because there were some places he couldn't explain, so he took out the blueprint that his father gave him.

"This is the trench drawing my father gave me. You can just dig according to this house!"

Zhu Youjian's drawing is not as troublesome as the later generations, because the opponent's anger is limited. This kind of trench only needs to dig a few trenches on the ground, and it doesn't need to be too deep.

The middle cannot be completely cut off, and a road for the cavalry to attack must be left.

The trench was five miles away from the barracks, and behind it was a small river. The coalition forces were all cavalry and could only attack from the front.

The artillery and cavalry were deployed in the barracks, and it was really impossible for the opponent to cross the five-mile trench and severely damage the Ming army barracks.

When Li Yan opened the blueprint for building the trench, his eyes widened:

"Your Majesty, you are holy! Although the trenches are simple, they can definitely protect the safety of our Ming army. No matter whether the enemy shoots arrows or fires, it is very difficult to hurt the soldiers in the trenches. How could we not think of such a simple thing..."

Seeing how Li Yan worshiped his father extremely, Zhu Cihong said with a smile:

"Otherwise! A dilapidated and rotten dynasty, it took 20 years for the father to revive it, and it was even on the verge of extinction. The father is definitely no worse than the Qin emperor, Han and Wu in history..."

"Yes, Your Highness is right! Your Majesty is wise, why should Huaxia have such a holy king to revive..."

Zhu Cihong, Li Yan and other generals all bowed their hands in relief to the capital.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not allow the prince to have contact with prestigious generals, otherwise it would be a serious crime of beheading.

But Zhu Youjian didn't worry about this at all, not only let the prince Zhu Cihong contact the generals, but also let him lead the troops to practice.

There are many rebels in the 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty.Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended to the throne step by step through rebellion and achieved some hegemony.

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di's second son, was also rebellious and pursued the throne all his life.

It's a pity that he died at the hands of his nephew Zhu Zhanji in the end. Compared with his grandfather and father, he lost miserably on the road to rebellion.

Rebellion must be supported by strong psychological needs.This psychological need is reason.

Psychologists divide human needs into five levels, namely, physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

The most basic human needs are physiological needs, that is, the needs of human beings to maintain individual survival and development.

If the subjects of a country cannot even meet their basic physical needs, chaos will ensue.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang in the Yuan Dynasty, he had no food to eat, no clothes to cover his body, his parents and relatives worked hard but starved to death, and he had to become a beggar.

The world is so big, under the whole world, where is there a way to survive?Don't rebel, starve to death.Rebellion is still possible!Yes, live to die!

As for Zhu Di, this basic need is very satisfied.As a royal member, there is everything you can eat, drink and play.

As a vassal king, he still has his own territory, so being a local emperor is quite comfortable.

After all, all dynasties and ancestral systems have followed the throne to establish the elders but not the young, which is in line with people's basic cognition.

Zhu Di is not the eldest son, even though he followed his father Zhu Yuanzhang through life and death to conquer the country, he can only be regarded as fulfilling his duty and ability.

Of course the throne belongs to the elder brother.The eldest brother is gone, but he still has a son, and the throne naturally belongs to his son.

Before "Jing Nan", although Zhu Di behaved a little out of courtesy, his attitude towards the throne was basically approved.

The second level of human needs is the need for safety.When a sense of security is lacking, people feel threatened and fearful.As soon as the nephew emperor came to power, he was eager to cut down the vassals, creating an atmosphere of terror, which made the vassal kings lose their sense of security.Seeing his brothers being killed and deposed one by one, Zhu Di felt that his life was in jeopardy, and was forced to rebel!If you don't rebel, you can only wait for death!

As for Zhu Gaoxu, if his father didn't rebel and didn't become the emperor, he would at best be considered a playboy in his life.

Except for eating all day long, Yu may have contributed nothing to the country and the nation. The change of his father's fate directly affected his fate.

The father pushed himself to the throne, and as a son, he was so close to the throne for the first time.

The shining throne seemed to be calling him too.But he found that, as the second son, the throne seemed so far away from him.

rebel?He has no reason!The need for self-realization must also be fulfilled in accordance with the laws and regulations and the principles of human ethics and morality!But he still found many reasons for himself.

First, the emperor should look like an emperor, right?Brother, he is not only not good-looking, but also fat and lame, which damages the image of the country.

Second, I was born and died in "Jing Nan", and I helped my father out of trouble several times. Without me, how could I have this throne?
Thirdly, brother, you look submissive and timid, can you govern the country and ensure the safety of the country?

Fourthly, my father has already fallen in love with me: "Mian Zhi, how ill is my son!"

Fifth, my father and I are too similar. We are both wise and powerful, and we are not the eldest son. Since my father can be the emperor, why can't I?There is always a reason if you are willing to look for it.

Zhu Gaoxu had fought two people for the throne, and it was the first time he fought with his elder brother.

It should be regarded as a planned, prepared, and sure struggle.In addition to the constraints of the ancestral system, Zhu Gaoxu is ten times better than his elder brother in terms of appearance, qualifications, and ability.

Make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince?Even Zhu Di felt sad about this hurdle.It is even more difficult to surpass the ancestral system!

But there is always a way.Zhu Gaoxu contacted a group of people to attack the crown prince.

Zhu Gaochi's status as prince was precarious by Zhu Gaoxu.Just when he was only one step away from success, Zhu Gaoxu lost the chain.

Fighting with my nephew for the second time.After Zhu Gaochi died of illness and Zhu Zhanji took office, Zhu Gaoxu's desire to seize the throne was once again burning.

He decided to rebel, really rebelled, just like his father, took up a gun and seized power with arms.

In any struggle, it is important to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.But he obviously underestimated his opponent and overestimated his own strength.

This time it can be said to be a planned, prepared, and uncertain struggle.Because his plans, preparations, and grasps are all based on wrong cognition.

He equated Zhu Zhanji with Zhu Yunqi.Zhu Yunwen grew up in a greenhouse since he was a child, full of idealism, it can be said that he has a bookish spirit, and is ignorant of politics and military affairs.

Zhu Zhanji is different. He studied and fought with his grandfather Zhu Di, and won the true biography of his grandfather.These two people are really incomparable.

He equates Zhang Fu with Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong is Zhu Di's good friend, but he is a fool in the military.

Zhang Fu is Zhu Gaoxu's good friend. Obviously, he knows current affairs and has a sense of integrity. He would rather betray his friendship at critical times than put national interests first.The two popular festivals are different.
