Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 898
Zhu Gaoxu equated Xia Yuanji with Huang Zicheng.Like his father, he came up with a reason for his rebellion that was "difficult to be quiet": "On the side of the Qing emperor, eradicate treacherous ministers."

What Zhu Di wants to eradicate is Huang Zicheng and others, and what Zhu Gaoxu wants to eradicate is Xia Yuanji and others.

These important ministers in the court are naturally the main force to quell the chaos.Huang Zicheng, well-read poetry and books, good at talking on paper, is a rookie in political and military struggles.

Xia Yuanji, who has come all the way from Zhu Yuanzhang's time, has gone through the five dynasties, assisted Zhu Di in governing the country after the war, and assisted Ren Xuan in creating the "Government of Ren Xuan". He is a real veteran in the workplace.Rookies and veterans will compete with each other.

He equated himself with his father Zhu Di.Zhu Di's rebellion really had a last resort, after all, his nephew the emperor was pressing him every step of the way, as he himself said, "Jing Nan" was a last resort, and he wanted to live!

As for Zhu Gaoxu, his elder brother and nephew have always treated him with tolerance and respect, but he is still obsessed with wanting to seize the throne.

Morally, Zhu Gaoxu is a traitor.

Zhu Di is both an excellent military strategist and an outstanding statesman.Before the rebellion, he carefully weighed his own weight.

He used to fight all the year round, and he understood that the military is politics, and politics is the military, so he managed the army strictly and won many hearts.

He still has the indomitable willpower and the courage not to flinch when encountering difficulties. Even though he faced the danger of failure several times, he finally persevered until he succeeded.

Although Zhu Gaoxu has experienced the baptism of gunfire, he does not have the fortitude to move forward, let alone political wisdom.

As soon as he made a move, he only knew how to be reckless, showing his opponent's military weapons and showing his own cards.

It's really not as good as his nephew Zhu Zhanji, who yelled to fight and yelled at the same time, destroying the opponent's morale from both military and political aspects.

In the end, Zhu Gaoxu's road to rebellion can only be regarded as a farce.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty all rebelled after Laozi died. Throughout the 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a prince who dared to rebel when Laozi was in power.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu are different, they are not father and son.

Zhu Youjian, who is well aware of the history of the Ming Dynasty, understands the psychology of the three sons better. They have just recovered from suffering, and they will not rebel even if they are asked.

Besides, now the land of Daming is so big, if any prince wants to be the emperor of the land, it is very simple, just say, Zhu Youjian will immediately give them some soldiers and horses, let him go overseas to grab the territory by himself, why kill each other at home.

Zhu Youjian's current prestige in Ming Dynasty is a god in the hearts of both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the common people, not an emperor at all.

Not only the officials and the common people supported him, but the entire Ming Dynasty soldiers were his loyal fans. Not to mention rebellion, even if you scold him, the soldiers will kill you if they hear it.

Also, he is a traverser with his own system. As long as he has money and points, the whole world will fight against him, and Zhu Youjian is not afraid.

Because of this, Zhu Youjian has no reservations about Zhu Cihong, the prince. He wants the Ming Dynasty to still stand on top of the world after a hundred years.

In order to prevent the secrets of the Ming army from leaking out, the three young generals were ordered to lead their troops and take the lead in clearing the area within fifty miles of the barracks.

There were not many herdsmen nearby. Although they would not be killed by the Ming army if they did not resist, they were not the people of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they were still very afraid of the Ming army.

After the arrival of the Ming army, they moved to distant places one after another to avoid being affected by the war.

Some daring ones did not leave, but they left immediately after receiving the notice from the Ming army.

For half a day, there was not a single herdsman within fifty miles of the Ming army's barracks.

At this time, Meng Liang led his subordinates to work, and their task was to lay mines.

There were no landmines at that time, but explosives were available. All members of the Ming army were equipped with firearms, and of course there was no shortage of gunpowder.

Meng Liang led people to draw out a grassland 500 meters wide and 1000 meters long.Let the soldiers start digging.

The pit doesn't need to be too big, as long as the explosives can be connected together, the opposing soldiers will never think that they will step on mines, which is beyond their cognition.

After the small pit is dug, put some explosives such as dynamite and grenade bombs in it.In addition, a large pit was dug obliquely every 50 meters, and a Ming army squatted inside, covered with planks and grass. Once they heard the signal, they immediately lit the gunpowder fuse.

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do. Once the enemy attacks during this period, Meng Liang and the others will lose all their previous efforts.

Dozens of scouts sent by Zhu Cihong ran back and forth on the grassland, and they still had walkie-talkies in their hands, and they would report to Zhu Cihong any trouble they found.

Two days passed, and the intelligence did not find any movement from the coalition forces. Meng Liang led his men and finally successfully completed the task on the third day.

At this time, the Pingkou army led by Li Yan also dug the trenches, and now there is no need to worry about the coalition forces attacking.

The only thing that worried Zhu Cihong was whether the explosives buried by Meng Liang and the others would explode. After all, this was the first time.

After all the preparations were completed, Zhu Cihong was in a hurry to hold a meeting with all the generals. He wanted to tell the soldiers how to use the trenches...

Zhang Fugui and Huang Dahu were stationed in the first trench.Huang Xiaohu and Zhang Lu were stationed in the second trench.The third trench was handed over to Li Yan's Pingkou Army.

Once the first trench could not stop the coalition forces from attacking, Zhang Fugui immediately retreated to the second trench and so on, he must block all the coalition forces in the third trench.

And Zhu Cihong himself led [-] personal guards, [-] new troops and all artillerymen to garrison the barracks.

The artillerymen here do not include the mortars, which are assigned to the three trench defenders.

The trenches of the Ming army were not dug very deep, and people can still expose their shoulders and heads inside, which is convenient for shooting.

Once the opponent fires, there are anti-blasting holes in the trench about two meters away, so you can temporarily avoid it.

After everything is ready, they will be on duty in turn, and the other troops will have a good rest, and they will be ready to be hit by the coalition forces at any time after they have enough energy.

The tents of the Ming army on the riverside are densely covered, and the forty camps are connected end to end and stretch for more than ten miles, standing like a mountain, majestic and majestic.

By the riverside, the Ming army had a team of ten people and a tent, and sprinkled caltrops around the camp, and patrols continued day and night.

In early June, with the arrival of the Chechen Khanate army, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations finally joined forces in the territory of the Kazakh Khanate.

The anti-Ming Five Kingdoms had a total of 25 horses. After the leader of the coalition led by Golovin cleaned up the dust for Chechen Khan, the coalition took another day off to prepare for a head-on attack on the Ming army that entered the Kazakh Khanate on the third day.

On the third day, the coalition forces marched with different banners and different postures, and finally marched towards the Ming army barracks!
The sound of horns resounded throughout the world, and 25 coalition troops marched southward like a torrent. Their banners covered the sky, people were noisy and horses neighed, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Looking at the herdsmen along the way, they saw flags and flags on the green prairie like a sea, and the mighty crowd could not see the head in front and the end in the back.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old herdsman pointed at the coalition army and shouted:

"Look, the Kazakh Khanate and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations have finally dispatched, so majestic!"
