Chapter 153 The legend continues.

Of course, this is from the standpoint of the family.

But even if he stood in a truly hostile position, how would Zhu Gaoxu face such an opponent?

A person who is capable of writing and martial arts, and has outstanding achievements in the corresponding field, how does he face it?

So whether it is from the standpoint of the family or the standpoint of the opponent, for Zhu Gaoxu, he has already lost at this time.

Not just on the battlefield, but also on the psychological level.

He knew very well that in comparison, his eldest nephew was obviously more suitable to be the emperor than his second brother.

The Ming Dynasty can only truly prosper if it is handed over to him.

Because this is a proven fact.

And my second brother.

No matter what my second brother thinks or thinks, he is just a general who leads troops to fight on the battlefield.

Whether the country can be governed well in the future is still unknown.

And what Zhu Gaosui can figure out, his second brother can naturally figure it out.

This is also the reason why the old man insisted on handing over the world to that kid.

Even, directly surpassed the existence of the boss.

You know, in history, when the prince was alive, reigned, and performed well, there was almost no such thing as handing over the throne of the world to the grandson.

Naturally, the old man has his reasons for doing this.

However, the truth is clear, but Zhu Gaosui felt uncomfortable looking at the slightly lonely second brother in front of him.

He knew exactly what kind of person his second brother was.

Love face, like ostentation, that's all superficial.

The real Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu is actually a responsible person in his heart.

Whether it was taking care of their brothers since childhood, or pulling Zhu Gaosui back from the brink of death time and time again on the battlefield.

For this reason, his second brother had also suffered several knives for him.

If his second brother was really just a brute, how could he do this.

It is said that the boss is good at hiding, and he seems to be submissive, but in fact he has the world in his heart and has a big heart.

But my second brother, why not.

In his heart, his second brother was born to stand in front of the family and protect them from the wind and rain.

But now it is cruel for him to be a mediocre rich prince who spends his days in the capital or in the fiefdom doing nothing.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, there is almost no shortage of external possessions.

All you want is what's on your mind.

But now his second child's only thought has been completely shattered now.

As his own younger brother, the person who knows his second brother best, how could his youngest Zhu Gaosui not feel sorry for his second brother.

However, Zhu Gaoxu, the second child at the side, came back to his senses after a moment of emotion.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to worry about.

Since the old man wanted to act, the son naturally had to act with the old man.

And from the moment Zhu Gaoxu went to Beijing alone against the imperial court's order, he already had to cooperate.

Even if he now knew that the old man was feigning death, he had no choice but to continue doing so.

As the results of the first battle in Mobei began to spread throughout the world, after Han Wang refused to follow the order in Shanhaiguan and went to Beijing alone, the situation seemed a bit chaotic, and it was gradually developing in a good direction.

But no matter how good the news is, no matter how well done, it is only the beginning.

Next, it still depends on whether Zhu Zhanji can continue his amazing move.

Nuer Gan Dusi.

A convoy of supplies is heading from south to north to deliver supplies outside the pass.

Today's outside the customs, unlike later generations, the northeast region has been vigorously developed.

For the early Ming Dynasty, the northeast region was still in a relatively backward and primitive state.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, it was a place of bitter cold.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty garrison stationed here still relied on the supply of food and grass delivered by the imperial court.

Although I would plant some in the absence of war, the current scale is obviously not enough to meet my own needs.

Therefore, since the 45 Ming army led by the King of Han rebelled outside Shanhaiguan, none of the materials and supplies transported have been rushed outside Shanhaiguan.

Although from the beginning of the rebellion to the present, the food and grass of Nuer Gandusi outside the customs is not too tight, but as the time gets longer and longer, the supplies and materials from the court have not been delivered, and the food problem will break out one day .

The Ming court understood this issue, but how could the local rebellious Jurchen tribe not know it.

The territory of Nuergandusi is very large, and the population living in it is more than one Jurchen tribe.

Mongolian, Jurchen, Jilimi, Kuyi (Kuwu), Daur, and Han people all have populations living here.

Most live by hunting.

Most of them were appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of the local guards, and now it is the Jurchen tribe who are openly rebelling.

The people responsible for encircling and suppressing these rebellions are the Han Chinese army stationed here.

From the perspective of military strength, the number of Han Chinese troops has an advantage.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the people of these Jurchen tribes will hide in the deep mountains and old forests at every turn.

In this case, it is almost impossible for the Han army to cause too much damage to them.

On the contrary, the people of the Jurchen tribe will take advantage of this and continue to destroy and sneak attacks on the official road built by the Ming court here.

Including other cities in the entire Nuer Gandusi territory.

The number of these Jurchen tribes is small, but the loss to the Ming court is great.

According to the imperial court's vision, now is the time to deepen the connection between the territory and Nuer Gandusi, promote racial integration, and deepen economic exchanges.

Even the places along the way from Guannei, most of them have post stations or even inns.

There are also various peddlers.

However, the situation that was finally created has come to naught because of the destruction and plunder of the Jurchen tribes around the official road.

The number of these Jurchen tribes is not large, and they will not have any subversive impact on the entire Ming Dynasty.

On the battlefield, tens of thousands of cavalry can finish them all with a single charge.

But it was the Jurchen people in their early [-]s who easily broke the situation maintained by the Ming Dynasty for many years.

Development is difficult, but destruction is easy.

So on the way here, Zhu Zhanji has been guessing, what do these Jurchen tribesmen want to do?

Really want to take the opportunity to rebel?

To overthrow the Ming Dynasty?

Obviously their size is too small, the Ming Dynasty is now in chaos, and it is far from being reduced to the level of being occupied by them.

So, what is their real purpose?
Only by figuring out their purpose can we formulate corresponding countermeasures.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, there are two reasons why those Jurchen tribes dared to rebel at this time.

One is that the Nuergandu Division has a vast territory. Although the Ming army stationed [-] troops here, they were all distributed in various places.

There are five or six thousand more, and a few hundred less.

Therefore, it is difficult to gather all these forces.

Can't do it either.

Because once all these troops are transferred away, it means that there is likely to be a vacuum of Ming army forces in the places where they are stationed, which will lead to more people standing up to rebel.

The second is that the garrisons of the Ming army all over the country are necessary, and they cannot be all deployed, but all the troops that can be deployed and can be used at any time are now all outside the Shanhaiguan, led by the King of Han.

In this case, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was empty.

Therefore, there is only one real opponent for them, and that is the strength of Nuer Gandusi itself.

These troops can really pose a threat to them, only a few hundred troops in a small area.

Although the guards in the entire Nuergandusi territory must have more than this amount of troops, because the Ming Dynasty did not implement complete control in Nuergandusi.

It is a state similar to an alliance, except that everyone agrees that they belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Many of the troops stationed in these guards are from foreign races.

But in this case, how could the guards controlled by these foreign leaders help the Han people to quell the chaos.

The only reason why these Jurchen tribes stood up to rebel was that they understood that once the Ming Dynasty's method was followed to allow Nuer Gandusi to continue to exist, it would be a blunt knife cutting flesh.

The only way to avoid this from happening, or to leave a chance for the Jurchens to grow stronger, is to cut off the Ming Dynasty's control over the Nuer Gandusi area.

The entire Nuer Gandusi is in a state of chaos and no master.

Just like the Mongolians on the grassland.

The reason why they did not choose to occupy the entire Nuer Gandusi area, but cut off the Ming Dynasty's control over it, is that their own strength is too small.

Nuergandusi has a vast territory, comparable to two or three provinces in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

There are tens of thousands of people in the area, how can it be possible to occupy them all.

This is the only way to give yourself time to develop and grow.

After Zhu Zhanji figured out what these Jurchen tribes were up to, there were many more ways to target them.

It's like a supply team that is transporting heavy supplies from south to north at this moment.

This is the trap Zhu Zhanji set for them.

Don't you want to cut off the Ming Dynasty's actual control over Nuer Gandusi?

Well, I'm here to deliver supplies now, do you want to do it?

If you want to fight, well, let's go out and fight a good battle.

If you don't do it, then your original purpose will not be achieved.

In order to get them out as soon as possible, Zhu Zhanji took great pains.

Sometimes war is as difficult as it is said, and as simple as it is said.

Especially dealing with these troops who are good at hiding in Tibet.

As long as they can accurately find what they cannot give up, more than half of this battle will already be won.

After having a specific combat method, Zhu Zhanji will naturally not continue to delay.

So he did not follow the previously scheduled plan and waited for Ma Bao's treasure ship fleet to arrive.

After all, his battle in Mobei ended too quickly.

Even if Yang Shiqi has the ability to put down the scourge of Japanese pirates in the coastal areas, it cannot be done in a short time.

Therefore, after he has more than [-] troops brought from Mobei, he has nearly [-] in total.

Zhu Zhanji, who dared to fight 5000 Oirat soldiers with [-] people, is now even more fearless.

In the old forest in the mountains, it is the time for the Musketeers to display their power.

Because there, there is no way to use bows and arrows.

There are cover objects everywhere, how do they attack from a distance?

As long as they can be found, Zhu Zhanji has absolute confidence to destroy them.

As for the open area, that's better, and it saves him the trouble of constantly looking for it.

More than [-] people are fully armed and have just retreated from Mobei, and they are all veterans who have fought with the old man for many years.

Its combat effectiveness will never be inferior to those of the Jurchen tribe.

With the addition of five thousand Musketeers, the outcome of this battle can be guessed without fighting.

When Zhu Zhanji sent out a team dressed as a transporter to an official road close to the mountains, it was no surprise that countless fighters from the Jurchen tribe suddenly appeared between the mountains and forests on both sides.

They didn't know what they were shouting in their mouths, and they rushed down holding their big knives.

Seeing this scene, the delivery team didn't panic at all even though everyone's face showed nervousness.

Because they know very well that their own army is not far away.

In an instant, a firework-like thing was ignited by the leading Baihu and launched into the sky.

Seeing this scene, the Jurchen soldiers who surrounded them didn't understand the meaning, and rushed over with ecstasy on their faces.

Especially when I saw the loads of luggage, I was afraid that my heart would already be full of joy.

Although these Jurchen tribes have lived here for generations, they are not gods, and they also worry about food.

Even in terms of food demand, it is more difficult to obtain than the people in the Ming Dynasty.

Now they are all hiding in the mountains and forests. Although it is difficult for the army of the Ming Dynasty to find and target them, it also makes it more difficult for them to obtain food.

It is very normal to not be able to eat two or three meals a day.

Even if he had saved some money before, he still couldn't stand the consumption of so many people day and night.

Now these supplies are transported to Nuergandusi and delivered to the Han army, which can be regarded as solving a big problem for them.

however.

What turned out to be contrary to expectations was that when they began to approach the supply teams delivering supplies, they found that not only did they flee without panic, they even took out weapons they had never seen before.

Just when they were wondering, a gunshot and the fall of a fellow soldier brought them back to reality.

But seeing that there were not many people in the delivery team, and his own troops were about to rush to get close, the leading Jurchen general did not give the order to evade, but continued to shout and charge.

Although many soldiers of the Jurchen tribe died under the muskets of the soldiers of the Ming army during the whole process, they rushed forward because the distance was too close.

Once the soldiers between the two armies come together, the advantage of the musket will be completely lost.

As a last resort, the soldiers of the Ming army also began to cooperate and take out shields and spears from the baggage cart.

Gradually form a defensive formation.

Don't ask how many enemies you can kill, just ask for self-protection.

the other side.

An army of thousands of cavalry who was leading an army in the distance, saw a firework in the sky, and immediately knew that the team disguised as a supply delivery had encountered an attack.

A whole team of musket cavalry, under the leadership of the old fifth Zhu Zhanqian, began to support the front.

Although in order to pretend to be more similar, the distance between the two is deliberately far away.

But they are all cavalry, and their speed is still very fast.

According to the standard set by Zhu Zhanji at the beginning, the distance between the two armies should be at least a quarter of an hour's foot.

Although they are cavalry, it still takes a lot of time for this distance.

In this process, whether they can resist the surprise attack of the Jurchen tribe depends on the soldiers themselves.

Of course, in order to make them all have the possibility and hope of surviving, Zhu Zhanji has explained in advance the muskets, shields, spears, and specific tactics when facing the enemy.

They even prepared some explosive kits for them.

After all, it is to lure the enemy, not to die.
