I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 275 Zhu Zhangui: You are dead, as I said, it is useless when the Buddha comes.

Because of the emergence of high-yield grain, the country fell into a jubilation, but in the Western Regions, the atmosphere became tense.

Two legions, one large and one small, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded each other, and the location was in Kuxian.

With the destruction of the Wrong Thinking Legion, the Kuxian Defense Legion also surrendered.

It’s not good if you don’t surrender, but Zhu Zhangui said that if you don’t surrender within the specified time, they will all be killed after breaking the city.

For the sake of their own lives, the low-level officers of the Kuxian Legion directly led the soldiers to tie up the commander, opened the city gate and surrendered.

The enemy surrendered, which made Zhu Gaoxu, who was ready for a hard fight, both a little happy and a little depressed.

The happy thing is that I don't have to think about how to attack the city, but the sad thing is that the credit for breaking the city is gone.

After solving the two large legions, Zhu Zhangui left some defenders to guard Fear, and took the Shenji Battalion to Kuxian, planning to merge the two legions into one and completely wipe out the Western Regions before the end of the year.

But when he arrived at the place, when he asked Zhu Gaoxu for military power, his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu even found various reasons to refuse, that is, he would not hand over the military power.

Even the old man's imperial decree, he pretended not to see it.

This made Zhu Zhangui, who was already on fire in his heart, get angry on the spot, and directly led people to surround Zhu Gaoxu.

The boss was besieged, and the [-] battalion would definitely quit, and they surrounded Zhu Zhangui and the guard battalion again.

Seeing that their boss was surrounded, the Shenji Battalion was not to be outdone, and under the leadership of Jiang Huai, they surrounded the [-] Battalion.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Chen Gao, who was in charge of commanding the infantry, hurried over with his men to try to mediate.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be angry. At that time, you two will not be able to explain to the emperor."

Chen Gao was born in the local guard, and made great contributions in the last Northern Expedition. He led his troops to win several cities when he was in Asan.

Coupled with his own ability and good fighting qualities, the old man promoted him from a local thousand households to Sima, the capital of the left army of the fifth army battalion after consideration.

During the Northern Expedition, Liu Sheng was in charge of the camp, and he was in charge of helping Liu Sheng.

Later, the old man sent troops to support Zhu Zhangui. Except for the withdrawal of [-] battalions, he commanded the remaining [-] infantry.

"Second Uncle, let me ask you one last time, will you hand over the military power or not!"

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Chen Gao, who was anxiously standing between the two, and saw that he was begging, and looked coldly at Zhu Gaoxu, who was sneering opposite him.

"Eldest nephew, let me say it again, the old man just asked me to come and assist you, he didn't say that he would hand over all the military power to you."

How is the right to war possible.

The old man's decree did say to let him come and obey Zhu Zhangui's order, but this did not include handing over the military power.

If Zhu Zhangui asked him to lead troops to fight somewhere, although he was unhappy, he would obey the order.

Don't even think about handing over military power.

This little bastard is a cruel and ruthless person. I cheated him so much a while ago. If I hand over the military power and become a lonely family, I don't know why I died in the Western Regions.

Zhu Gaoxu never doubted that Zhu Zhangui would kill him.

That is to say, this kid is very concerned about the old man, and he also cares about his elder brother's feelings.

If these two people are gone, Zhu Gaoxu can guarantee that he will never survive for three days.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have an idea, what do you think?"

Seeing the two confronting each other, Zhu Zhangui touched the holster around his waist with cold eyes. Chen Gao was afraid that the two parties would really have a conflict because of this, so they started fighting, and quickly stood up and stopped the two.

The two didn't speak, just nodded.

Although he wished to smash this disgusting face with the gun immediately, Zhu Zhangui could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart when he thought of the fate he would face after getting rid of this second uncle.

Regardless of the fact that he controls a lot of troops, is the grandson of the dynasty, has money and power.

But the old man was really hard to figure out, and he was particularly worried that his family would kill each other, so he couldn't enter the ancestral temple.

If Zhu Zhangui really broke this second uncle today, Zhu Zhangui can guarantee it with his toes, unless he rebels immediately.

Otherwise, what he would face would be the old man's imprisonment, and then he would sit in an empty courtyard and watch Zhu Zhanji, who had practiced in Asan for more than a year, come back to take his place.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zhangui endured the provocation of his second uncle again and again.

Don't doubt the old man's cruelty, just as the old man said.What the old man can give you, as long as he is still alive, he can take it back at any time.

Zhu Zhanji has been by his side for many years and was cultivated by him with all his heart, but in the end he was replaced as soon as he said it.

The old man is a person who has been playing with his mind all his life. He allows Zhu Zhangui to jump around in the circle he drew. As long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he will tolerate indulgence.

But once Zhu Zhangui touches the bottom line he set, the old man will erase it without hesitation.

The bottom line in the old man's mind is to prohibit fellow countrymen from killing each other and harming the interests of Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that both of them acquiesced, Chen Gao heaved a sigh of relief, and said to them.

"Your Highness, the Western Region Army has almost been wiped out, and the rest are just small fish and shrimps. Why don't you hand them over to Commander Jiang and the last general, and let us two be responsible for eliminating the remaining remnants of the enemy."

"As for who will command the entire military power, the last general and Commander Jiang will write to ask the emperor who he wants to lead who."

"Before the emperor's order comes, the two of you should take a rest and enjoy the customs of the Western Regions. How about leaving the battle to the last general and Commander Jiang?"

Chen Gao also had no choice.

Both want to get military power, and they will not back down from each other.

Based on his understanding of these two masters, if this stalemate continues, something will happen.

So he could only bite the bullet and put forward a suggestion that he and Jiang Huai temporarily lead the army to wipe out the remaining enemies in the Western Regions.

Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other, turned around and left without any objection.

The two also understand that if the stalemate continues like this, the problem will never be solved if they don't fight.

It was really going to be a fight, and the two of them would be beaten at the lightest, which would do no one any good.

Now that Chen Gao gave up the steps, both of them went down the donkey along the slope.

The two parties left, Jianghuai Chen Gao and the general of the [-] Battalion, the three breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other for the last time, smiled wryly and shook their heads again and again.

I was wondering in my heart what the emperor was thinking, so I had to put these two enemies together.

Just now they were really worried that their own people would fight among themselves. If the two masters really gave the order to start a fight, they didn't know whether to do it for real or fake it.

After all, they were all partners who fought side by side, and many of them knew each other. If they really wanted to raise their weapons and attack their familiar partners, they really couldn't do it.

"The two brothers should pay attention these two days, and don't let these two masters have any conflicts again."

"At that time, the emperor's blame is small, and the people in the Western Regions will see the joke, and the court will lose face, it will be big!"

After waving to his deputy to bring back the army, Chen Gao dragged Jiang Huai and the generals of the [-] Battalion into a tent.

"Isn't it? Just now I was terrified. If this is really a fight, the two masters will feel uncomfortable, and we will lose our heads too!"

The general of the [-] Battalion shook his head depressedly, then looked at Jiang Huai who was sitting across from him and asked jokingly.

"Uncle Jiang, if there was a fight just now, would you shoot me?"

Jiang Huai rolled his eyes, "You won't surrender!"

The generals of the Three Thousand Battalion were speechless for a moment.

He wanted to surrender, but once he surrendered, he would not be able to stay in the Three Thousand Battalion in the future.

"It's alright, both of you, leave this matter to the emperor. Let's discuss how to solve the problem of the Western Regions before winter arrives."

"My brothers are all looking forward to going back to celebrate the New Year with their families. We can't let them down."

Seeing that the two were still joking, Chen Gao gave a wry smile, interrupted their chat, and began to ask about the next battle.

After discussion, the three decided to split into three groups.

Jianghuai led Shenji and a group of troops from the Fifth Army Battalion to fight westward along the Pharaoh until the border of the Timur Empire.

Chen Gao led the five army battalions and marched towards Asu, blocking the way for the nobles in the Western Regions to flee south.

The generals of the [-] Battalion led the cavalry to clean up the small forces that had not been cleared by the army to the east.

The three of them expected to completely resolve the war in the Western Regions before November.

After the three discussed it, they handed over the battle plan to Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Gaoxu to watch.

Regarding this battle plan, neither of them had any opinion. After simply modifying some minor problems, they ordered a formal march.

After a few days of rest, the Three Route Army set off according to the established route.

At the gate of the camp, Zhu Zhangui looked at the legion that disappeared at the end of the road, silently blessing in his heart.

The overall situation of the Western Regions has been completely determined. If the plateau region does not intervene, there will be no more accidents.

As for the Timur Empire, Zhang Fu was watching there, and he didn't dare to make any small moves.Maybe they are discussing how to deal with Daming's southeast attack.

Having conquered the Western Regions, the territory of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have reached the highest peak of the Han dynasty.

From the north to Siberia in later generations, except for the small area of ​​Jiaozhi in the south, the entire area near the sea is the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Ah San in the southwest has already swallowed most of it, and it will take a few years to take down the plateau. In terms of territory, Da Ming can be said to be the leader of the pack.

In the entire history of the Central Plains, only the Yuan Dynasty was able to surpass the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing else comparable.

Thinking of the red territory on the map, Zhu Zhangui felt particularly refreshed.

These are all achievements made by him, which can be said to be unprecedented, but it is hard to say about the latter.

If his children and grandchildren work hard, maybe they will become the world's ball leader, then he is naturally inferior.

If, like the empire on which the sun never sets, it peaked and then declined, then he might become the number one person in ancient and modern times.

"Hey, the army of my nephew is gone, why are you giggling here, did you think of something good?"

The good mood that had just arisen was completely beaten, and Zhu Zhangui glanced unhappily at Zhu Gaoxu who was standing beside him, doing nothing.

"Yeah, I thought of something beautiful. When I think that my second uncle will spend the rest of his life in a small courtyard, living a dreamy life every day, I'm happy for you!"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyelids twitched violently.

This little bastard, before the old man's order came, he was thinking of how to confine himself.

"Hmph, you are not yet the emperor. Don't think about some things too early. This world is full of unknowns. It is not certain who will win in the end."

Zhu Zhangui nodded in agreement.

No one knows the future outcome. A mighty Xiang Yu will end up committing suicide in Wujiang River. No one knows what the outcome will be until the last step.

"Second Uncle, the weather is fine today, how about we go for a walk?"

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep look at Zhu Zhangui, smiled and nodded.

The two didn't ride horses either, and walked side by side to the distant Gobi.

Although the scenery of the Gobi in the Western Regions seemed a bit desolate, in the eyes of the two who were used to seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, there were also some special emotions.

When they came to the edge of a desert, the two sat down side by side. Hu Yu and Zhu Gaoxu's guards who followed behind took out a jug of wine and some snacks and fruits, and placed them next to them.

Picking up the jug, he filled a glass for Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhangui picked up his own and touched it, then drank it down.

"Haha, good wine!"

Zhu Gaoxu was not afraid of being poisonous, so he drank it in one gulp, savored it in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is imperial wine from the royal palace. It is made from high-quality fruits. We didn't get through to the Western Regions before. This kind of good wine is very rare in our place."

Zhu Zhangui introduced the wine with a smile.

Reaching out to pick up a grape, Zhu Zhangui peeled it off and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Taking another fruit casually, Zhu Zhangui gnawed on the fruit while looking at the distant scenery.

"Second Uncle, do you know? Sometimes you are really annoying, and many times in my heart I want to kill you directly."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and drank a glass by himself.

"We both have the same idea. I wanted to kill your father more than once before, but now I want to kill you more than once."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, picked up the wine glass and touched Zhu Gaoxu again.

"A toast to the idea we have in common!"

"OK!"

The two drank again.

"Second uncle, have you ever thought about what will happen to you if I inherit the throne in the future?"

Hearing this, holding a small grape in his hand, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Gobi in the distance, and said silently: "I have thought about it, I have thought about it more than once, if you ascend to the throne in the future, based on my understanding of you, For the things I cheated on you, 800 deaths are enough."

"So I thought, if I fail, the whole family may end up being taken away by me."

Zhu Zhangui shook his head.

"Second Uncle, you are wrong!"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Zhangui unexpectedly.

"Are you still planning to let me go and let me be imprisoned for a lifetime!"

Zhu Zhangui shook his head, "I don't have that much kindness."

Zhu Gaoxu became interested, habitually crossed his legs, and looked at Zhu Zhangui with interest.

"Then how do you deal with it!"

Zhu Zhangui poured another glass of wine for each of them, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said pointedly.

"I will leave you a bloodline, and in order for this bloodline to survive, I will let my second aunt live to take care of him."

Hearing the pointed words, Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched fiercely.

He knew that this little bastard was plotting against his wife.

He had heard that when he was making a fuss, this stinky brat ate his wife's tofu viciously, regardless of her size.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about your second aunt. I will definitely let her go before I die."

Zhu Zhangui shook his head with a smile. The second uncle took Zhu Zhangui for someone.

He left his second aunt really only to take care of the blood left by his second uncle.

Alas, good intentions are like the liver and lungs of a donkey.

"Don't ask me what I will do with you after I win."

Not wanting to talk about his daughter-in-law anymore, Zhu Gaoxu began to ask Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and paused every word.

"Don't ask, because you can't win."

Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes and said with a sneer, "Hehe! You are so confident."

"Yes, I am so confident, because I am sure of winning."

Zhu Zhangui replied lightly, and looked into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes seriously.

"Second uncle stop, you can't beat me."

"If you choose to stop now, I can treat the previous things as if they didn't happen. From now on, you will be your happy prince. As long as you don't make any troubles, as my nephew, I guarantee that you will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."

Zhu Gaoxu fell into silence.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, looking at the sloshing wine in it, he swallowed in a irritated gulp.

This sip didn't seem to be satisfying, so he directly picked up the wine jug and drank it.

After drinking all the wine in the jug, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and threw the jug into the distance.

Zhu Zhangui didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Gaoxu quietly.

"what!"

Zhu Gaoxu let out a furious roar in the distance.

Still dissatisfied in his heart, he tore off his clothes suddenly, looked at Zhu Zhangui with red eyes, and called out Zhu Zhangui's name for the first time.

"Zhangui, it's not that easy to give up. Obviously, all of this should be mine. I have made great contributions to the great Ming Dynasty. I have spent most of my life on the battlefield, with countless wounds, large and small."

"When Jing Nan was in trouble, your grandfather was surrounded. It was I who led the soldiers to rush in and rescue him, and it happened more than once."

"Every time I fight, I charge forward and try my best to remove all obstacles for your grandfather."

"As for your father, he just blocked a good-for-nothing Li Jinglong, stayed behind, and took away everything I worked so hard for."

"Your grandfather promised me with his own mouth, but later he denied it. Doesn't he know that denying all this will deal such a blow to my second son. "

"I have shed blood and fought my life for him, and even almost died on the battlefield several times, but he dare not even admit what he said."

"Nephew, tell me, tell me this second uncle with the truth, if all this is you, are you willing?"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu, who was close to madness, sweeping over the large and small wounds on his body, Zhu Zhangui fell silent.

Think differently.

If he were Zhu Gaoxu, he wouldn't be so reconciled, and would definitely fight.

Just like when he came back from overseas, the idea in his mind was to replace Zhu Zhanji and become the helm of Daming in the future.

He thought so, and he did so.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhangui really had no hope. After all, the old man’s thoughts on Lichang were too strong. If his supermarket hadn’t overwhelmed Zhu Zhanji, now he might be laying down a land overseas and preparing to kill him after the civil fort. came back.

After venting his inner emotions, Zhu Gaoxu gradually calmed down.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the silent Zhu Zhangui, "Actually, you know and I know too. Everyone knows that you are the second child, and Zhanji is the eldest grandson."

Zhu Zhangui didn't speak, but just listened quietly to Zhu Gaoxu's words.

"In fact, I didn't hold out any hope at first. I thought about doing something casually, so that your father would not be able to inherit the position so smoothly, but your success has moved my heart."

"You, the second child, can become the eldest grandson of the emperor, why can't I, the second prince."

"Zhangui, I don't know how you impress the old man, but I'm here to tell you today, I will not give up, even if there is only a slight chance, I will get what belongs to me, because all of this is originally I worked my ass off."

"I don't allow what I bought with my life to become the fruit of others."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked towards the camp.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly and turned to look at Zhu Zhangui who was still sitting there.

"If one day I lose, remember your promise."

"If I win, I will also leave you a bloodline and let him inherit your branch."

Zhu Zhangui stood up with a sneer, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said calmly.

"Second uncle, although I agree with your idea, I still say that, you can't win, I said this, let alone the old man, it is useless when the Buddha comes."

"If you don't give up from now on, don't blame me, my nephew, for being cruel."

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Zhu Zhangui with a faint smile.

"Really? Come on if you have any tricks, I didn't scare your second uncle too much."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Looking at the distant figure, Zhu Zhangui's eyes became colder and colder.
