Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Two minutes, ten seconds per day, attack and defense ratio 1:20, hold on for twelve days, and the outer city will be breached.

In fact, this record of defending the city can't be considered too bad.

Even in the entire Chinese military history, it is definitely at the upper-middle level, which shows that Hong Xi Xiaozhu has really worked hard.

After all, not to mention that the more than 10,000 defenders in Hong Xi Xiaozhu's hands are full of variables that may mutiny at any time, if we compare the rigid city conditions and compare Yingtianfu with the former Hongdu City and Beiping City, we will find that Yingtianfu is difficult to The level of defense is actually significantly higher than that of Hongdu and Peiping.

Even the difficulty is double.

The reason is simple.

Hongdu City back then was just a fortified city.

Peiping is also a border fortress.

Whether it is Hongdu or Peiping, the overall city size is far smaller than it is now.

But Yingtian Mansion is not the case. This is the Imperial Capital of the Ming Dynasty where the three dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle (for most of the period) were located. The Imperial Capital naturally has the style of the Imperial Capital, and its land area has been expanded several times.

When Zhu Wenzheng was guarding Hongdu, 20,000 people guarded nine gates (including one water gate). On average, more than 2,000 soldiers could be assigned to each gate.

Zhu Gaochi defended Peiping and ten thousand men guarded the nine gates, so each gate could have more than a thousand soldiers.

In Yingtian Mansion, the outer city has eighteen gates (including Water Gate), and the inner city has thirteen gates. Regardless of the inner city guards for the time being, the only ten thousand soldiers will be spread evenly on these eighteen outer gates. At most, the sect can only be allocated five to six hundred people, and this is still under the condition of extreme sharing. After all, a part of the mobile force must be left to support the sect that is in a tense situation at any time.

‘Xiao Hei, restore the time of Hongguang Space-time to its normal flow rate. ’

The outer city of Yingtian has been broken. If this development trend continues, it is estimated that Zuo Liangyu's army will be able to break through the inner city in five or six days at most. If the time flow rate of Hongguang space-time is not changed, then these five or six days will only be one minute of somatosensory time.

"Xiao Hei: Okay boss"

"Xiao Hei: The Hongguang space-time acceleration command has been cancelled."

then.

Ji Boying stood up.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

When Lao Zhu saw the immortal master standing up, he quickly followed suit.

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, but he didn't hide anything. He briefly summarized Nan Ming Hongguang's situation, then packed a bag and told Lao Zhu in a "knowledgeable" way, and then glanced at the person he was staring at. Looking at his group of people named Zhu, they simply synchronized one copy.

Everyone frowned slightly, obviously more concerned about the situation in Nanming.

"Ding Yi."

Ji Boying looked at Emperor Hong Xi.

"Yes."

Fatty Hong Xi stood up, his face rosy and shiny. After two years of careful maintenance, his body had improved a lot. He had even lost more than fifty kilograms in weight, and now he couldn't even walk a few more steps. If he catches his breath, he can live for at least another ten or eight years.

With the immortal master's voice, he naturally knew what to do.

"Ah."

The immortal master nodded slightly and moved with a thought.

Swish.

Hong Xi's fat figure suddenly disappeared from his seat and was sent to the Hongguang time and space of Nanming by the immortal master.

Simultaneously.

‘Xiao Hei, move the Yongle time and space timeline and advance one day. ’

Thoughts arose in Ji Boying's mind.

"Xiao Hei: Okay boss"

"Xiao Hei: The advancement of the Yongle time and space timeline has been completed"

The reason why the timeline of Yongle time and space should be advanced by one day is also simple.

Although Fatty Yongle has gone back to reorganize the Shenji Camp, no matter how fast he is, he still has to summon all the generals from the Shenji Camp first, and then inevitably conduct a pre-battle instruction, and then let these generals go their separate ways. Return to camp and gather your subordinates to PUA one by one.

During this period, part of the military reward money was also distributed in the name of the imperial court. These reward money had to bear special official seals and be processed expedited.

After completing this series of complicated pre-war preparations, the army is officially in a state of combat readiness and ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

What matters in war is seriousness. It is definitely not what some later movies and TV dramas show. The leading general raises his sword and shouts, and tens of thousands of soldiers behind him follow you to kill people and tens of thousands of pigs. Food is still needed to maintain order, not to mention tens of thousands of living soldiers.

Therefore.

Ji Boying needed to give Yongle Fatty a day to complete these pre-war preparations.

then.

Ji Boying sent a message to Yongle Xiaozhu asking if it was ready, and after receiving a definite reply.

in a moment.

The five thousand soldiers of the Yongle Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion, including men and artillery, were instantly airlifted to the Yingtian battlefield in the Hongguang time and space of the Nanming Dynasty.

Huh~!

Also at this moment.

36D holographic projection, turned on.

The scenery in the main hall of Zuixian Tower suddenly changed.

Boom, boom...!

The roar of cannons suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and they all subconsciously looked forward, realizing that they were already on top of the city tower, and in front of them were bombarding artillery fire and attacks coming like a tide. city ​​army

Zuo Liangyu is not a good person.

Since we are attacking a city, if there are cannons, we will of course choose to use cannons.

..............................

Nanming Hongguang time and space.

Yingtian Mansion, Qingliang Gate among the thirteen gates in the inner city.

Hongxi Zhu Zhanji wears the emperor's armor.

Standing on the top of the Qingliangmen city with a sword, he looked at the siege left army coming like a tide under the city gate in front of him with a pair of stern eyes.

"His Majesty."

"All the armies have retreated into the inner city and are guarding the city according to the pre-arranged arrangements. I have taken a count and found that there are still 5,000 defenders in the city."

Zuo Maodi stood beside Hong Xi Xiaozhu and said with a solemn expression.

During these twelve days of guarding the outer city, the soldiers who defended the city suffered as much as 50% of their battle losses. Of course, many of them were due to injuries. When the outer city was destroyed, they had no time to retreat to the inner city, where the left army could catch up or be killed. , or surrender.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this number.

original.

According to Zhu Zhanji's estimate, the outer city should be able to hold on for another three to five days, so that it could hold on until the encirclement of the four towns in Jiangbei was formed. But who knew that the guard at the fence gate suddenly mutinied and surrendered to the enemy, opening a way for the left army to pass through? son.

After Zhu Zhanji got the fence gate broken, he made a prompt decision without any hesitation. He decisively ordered all the defenders on the outer city gate to withdraw to the thirteenth gate of the inner city. According to the original plan B deployment, they occupied their respective positions. The inner city gate.

and.

Zhu Zhanji also specially arranged one for himself according to the changes in the battle situation.

He will personally guard Qingliangmen.

Because the Qingliang Gate of the inner city is directly opposite the fence gate of the outer city, and the distance between the two gates is less than ten miles. Judging from the current battle situation, in order to save time, the left army's next attack on Qingliang Gate must be the most ferocious.

And just then.

Mao Erhu quickly climbed up the tower, hurriedly came to Hong Xi Zhu Zhanji's side, and whispered.

"Your Highness, the great great grandson."

Because he came from Hongwu, Zhu Zhanji was not even born in the era in which Mao Erhu lived, so Mao Erhu was also struggling with how to call Zhu Zhanji before, and finally decided to call him according to his seniority.

Hong Xi and Xiao Zhu didn't mind, he could call him whatever he wanted. After all, according to the Hongwu Ming Dynasty, he was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's great-great-grandson.

"Reinforcements in the city have arrived."

Six simple words, the words are finished.

‘Reinforcements? ’

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this. Zuo Maodi beside him also had a question mark on his face. At this point, except for the four towns in Jiangbei that were rapidly encircling the city, there was no talk of reinforcements in the city.

Could it be that it fell from the sky? !

"Zhanji, you did a good job."

A voice sounded in Zhu Zhanji's ears.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the left, and his father's fat, rosy face came into view.

"Dad? Why are you here?"

Hong Xi Xiaozhu was obviously surprised by the appearance of Fatty Hong Xi, because he did not ask the immortal master for help. After a pause, he suddenly realized where this 'reinforcement' came from.

I saw.

At this moment, there was a cannon, which was transported up the gate towers of the inner city through the hanging ladder. It made all the defenders on the tower look straight in their eyes. What kind of perverted cannon is this? !

At this time.

The gate tower of the outer city gate.

Zuo Liangyu stood in the center of the tower surrounded by his younger brothers, staring in the direction of Qingliang Gate.

"Commander Father, I have followed your military order and mobilized all the artillery in the general to Qingliang Gate. There are also dozens of Hongyi cannons, which will definitely blast through this gate in one fell swoop."

Zuo Liangyu's eldest son Zuo Mengeng grinned.

This boy is the second-fifth boy who led the left army to surrender to the Qing army after Zuo Liangyu's death.

Although Zuo Liangyu is not a good person, Zuo Liangyu still has the character of a Han man. No matter how downcast he is, he will not have to work for pigtails. He still has the basic national integrity.

"After today's break, there will no longer be a Ming Dynasty in this world. My father can take advantage of the situation and replace it with Ming Dynasty!"

"At that time, all the people will return to their hearts, the father will be the emperor, the son will be the prince, and the whole world will belong to my Zuo family!"

The more Zuo Mengeng talked about it, the more excited he became, and he was already looking forward to a bright future.

Hear this.

Zuo Liangyu's face turned dark and she wished she could slap her son a few times.

These days, Dai Ming is established. Is this because you think you haven’t made enough enemies? What a pig brain!

"If you dare to speak wantonly in the future, don't blame your father for driving you out of the house!"

After scolding, he coughed violently. At this moment, Zuo Liangyu was already seriously ill and had only a few years to live (Zuo Liangyu in history died of illness the following year).

Zuo Mengeng looked respectful on his face, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all. He thought to himself, dad, you won't live for two years anyway. When you die, I will get an emperor's throne to sit on!

then.

Zuo Liangyu stared in the direction of Qingliangmen and took a deep breath.

He may not be the emperor, but it does not mean that he cannot be the regent. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has to be supported by himself. It is not a bad idea to be Cao Cao in troubled times.

"Pass the order."

"Order all artillery to move forward to within three miles of Qingliang Gate before firing."

"In addition, the generals are ordered not to disturb the people in the capital."

Before the siege of Yingtian, the Zuo army had captured Jiujiang. The entire city of Jiujiang was looted by the Zuo army. The people were miserable and the city was burned for three days and three nights.

If you don’t plan to grow bigger, it’s okay to rush like this. If you want to grow bigger and stronger, you must abide by discipline.

"Mr. Zuo, turn around and find the right shore."

Behind Zuo Liangyu, Yuan Jixian, the minister of the Ministry of War stationed in Jiujiang, spoke out and said that he was only placed under house arrest by Zuo Liangyu and was not killed.

"How dare you, a common man, speak nonsense in front of the commander-in-chief!"

Hao Xiaozhong, who took the lead in burning Jiujiang City, stepped forward and slapped Yuan Jixian on the face.

"How dare you, Shuzi!"

Yuan Jixian, who received a slap, glared at Hao Xuanzhong with his teeth almost broken.

In terms of status, Yuan Jixian was the right servant of the Imperial Ministry of War and the censor of the right Qiandu, and the governor of Huguang, Jiangxi and other military affairs. In name, Zuo Liangyu should be in charge of him.

And who is Hao Xiaozhong, he is just a small general under Zuo Liangyu's command. If in peacetime, Hao Xiaozhong met Yuan Jixian, even if he knelt on the ground and licked him, Lord Yuan wouldn't even look at him.

"Mr. Zuo, if you act against nature, you will be punished by heaven. You will regret it one day."

After saying this, Yuan Jixian closed his eyes. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. When a scholar encounters a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

He didn't want to get yelled at again.

At this moment, a general came quickly up the tower and came to Zuo Liangyu to salute.

"Commander Zuo, a large number of unknown soldiers suddenly appeared on the gates of Yingtian Inner City, and there were cannons that I had never seen before. Among them, the muzzle of the cannon on Qingliang Gate was pointed directly in the direction of the fence gate."

"What the general is thinking is whether to ask Commander Zuo to stay away temporarily."

The words fell.

Before Zuo Liangyu could speak, Zuo Mengeng smiled disdainfully.

"It's just a dying struggle, nothing to be afraid of."

"Don't we have cannons?!"

"What's more, what's the use of setting up cannons on the tower of Qingliangmen? Qingliangmen is nearly ten miles away from the fence gate. Is there any cannon in the world that can shoot so far?!"

Zuo Mengeng's voice had just settled down.

boom!

It was like the sound of thunder exploding in the sky.

Before everyone could react to what was going on, there was an explosion, and the shell exploded ten meters away to the left of Zuo Liangyu. More than a dozen Zuo soldiers were blown away on the spot, and the entire fence gate was shaking.

‘What kind of cannon is this? ’

‘Why did it shoot so far? ! ’

Feeling horrified, he subconsciously looked up.

In the sky, hail-like dense cannonballs were seen, drawing elegant and beautiful parabolic arcs under the dusk, and they all fell towards the fence gate.

..............................

Hongwu time and space, Zuixian Tower.

Lao Zhu and other emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty, including the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, were completely immersed in the battle to defend Yingtian in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

It's like watching a movie and seeing the fight scene at the climax. Although there is no major plot advancement in essence, it is the part that attracts the most viewers after all. After all, all the special effects that have been burned are spent on this plot.

Otherwise, how can American blockbusters with poor plots and intellectual retardation be successful?

As for the immortal master.

Ji Boying actually didn't have much interest in Nanming Hongguang's Yingtian battle.

The moment the Yongle Shenji Battalion parachuted into Nanming Hongguang Yingtian City, the outcome of this battle could actually be declared over.

With the blessing of artillery that was hundreds of years ahead of the Nanming era, Zuo Liangyu's siege army was bound to be bombed so badly that even their own mother would not recognize them.

of course.

Considering the number of defenders and the precious battle loss ratio of Yongle Shenji Battalion, the Ming army retreating to the inner city would not rush out to pursue them.

The direction of the next battle is probably that after Zuo Liangyu's troops tried to attack for three to five days, they found that the damage in the battle was so shocking that they couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to withdraw their troops and run away.

At this time, the four towns in Jiangbei had already completed the outsourcing encirclement.

At that time, Zuo Liangyu will have only two choices: commit suicide or surrender.

Swish.

The breeze stirred.

The figure of the Immortal Master had already disappeared from the spot, and no one noticed it.

As an honest businessman, since he has agreed to Yang Guang's conditions, he must fulfill them.

........................

Daye time and space, Yangzhou, Jiangdu Palace.

At that moment, the entire palace was filled with killings and chaos everywhere.

The reason is simple.

Emperor Yang Guang suddenly disappeared, and his life or death was uncertain.

As a result, those who firmly wanted to rebel, and those who wanted to rebel but did not want to rebel, soon started quarreling after the news of the disappearance of Emperor Yang Guang, and started to chop each other with knives.

The worst offenders were Yu Wenhua and his brothers. During the process of breaking up the fight, the two brothers were beheaded on the spot by the part of the imperial army that was not firm in their rebellious mentality and sacrificed to the flag.

This bloody lesson tells us that we need to be cautious when trying to break up a fight.

at this time.

The only peaceful area in the entire Jiangdu is the Palace Villa.

After all, the emperor just disappeared, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive, so no one would choose to touch the emperor's harem at this time. If he did, it would be a clear statement that I want to rebel, and others will come and fuck you first.

"Mother, where did my father go?"

On a flower stand in the garden, Empress Xiao and her youngest son Yang Gao (12 years old) were sitting here. There were only two palace maids and seven or eight eunuch attendants around them. Everyone looked very nervous and looked at each other. At the entrance of the garden, there was a fear of intruders.

"Where did the emperor go again?"

Zhao Wang Yang Gao asked again.

The wicker chair is woven with a flower stand. She is over forty years old, but she looks like a charming woman in her mid-twenties sitting quietly. This is the most beautiful woman in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Empress Xiao, the first wife of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Xiao was born into a noble family. She was the daughter of Emperor Ming of the Western Liang Dynasty and a serious princess.

In many unofficial histories and later interpretations, in order to highlight Xiao's beauty, she was given a name, Meiniang.

This beauty is recognized by the world.

In the original history, after the Jiangdu coup, Empress Xiao first fell into the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, an old pervert, and then Yu Wenhuaji was executed. Empress Xiao fell into the hands of Dou Jiande, and then Dou Jiande had no choice but to do it under the pressure of the Turks. Empress Xiao handed it over to Turk Chuluo Khan. It is said that Chuluo Khan came out holding the wall that night.

After Chuluo Khan died, his younger brother Jieli Khan succeeded to the throne, and Queen Xiao naturally became Jieli Khan's plaything again.

The fate of a stunning beauty in troubled times is so tragic that God can only see pity for her.

It was not until the fourth year of Zhenguan that Li Jing led his army to defeat the Turks, and then Empress Xiao was welcomed back to Chang'an. As for whether she was finally taken back to the harem by Li Shimin, it is hard to say. There is no record of this in official history.

After all, in terms of kinship, Li Shimin had to call Empress Xiao his cousin.

"Gao'er, good boy, sit here. Father will come look for us later."

That being said.

But Empress Xiao, who was born in the royal family of Xiliang, understood the current situation.

The mutiny outside the palace has come to this point, and the probability that Yang Guang is still alive is extremely small.

And even if you are alive, you might as well be dead.

As for her second son, King Yang Jian of Qi, a handsome king with three-thirds of his mother’s looks, Empress Xiao had already received the exact news and was already fast asleep before Yu Wenhuaji and others rushed into the palace to discuss politics. Yang Jian was beheaded.

Just now.

The warm spring breeze stirs the rattan chairs and flowers.

Empress Xiao's face paused slightly, and she noticed that the people around her, even her youngest son Yang Gao, who was sitting next to her, suddenly became extremely quiet at this moment, without even blinking, as if they were frozen.

"Queen Xiao."

The words struck her ears, causing Empress Xiao to look up. It was a man she had never seen before. From his clothes to his appearance, especially the unnamed reflective object he was wearing, people couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The current great cause of time and space is at the moment when the sun is rising, so of course you have to wear sunglasses.

‘Xiao Hei, play her the video you just recorded. ’

While Ji Boying looked at Empress Xiao, he thought something in his mind.

"Xiao Hei: Okay boss"

"Xiao Hei: The exclusive personal projection function of 36D holographic projection has been turned on"

Instantly.

Empress Xiao, who was still paying attention to the sudden arrival, was suddenly startled.

Her peach blossom eyes reflected the scene after scene, which was exactly what Yang Guang had just seen in Zuixian Tower.

‘No wonder everyone is fascinated by it. ’

Ji Boying looked at the legendary woman in front of him. In addition to her beauty, which was better than that of Bing Bing, the nobility that made mountains look up to her in her movements was enough to arouse the powerful conquest in any man's blood. want.

Half a minute later.

A drop of clear tears fell from the corner of Xiao Hou's eyes.

Although she thought everything that happened was incredible, facts spoke louder than words.

"This is what he left for you."

After Ji Boying finished speaking, a curved jade pendant hung in Empress Xiao's hand.

"I will send you and your youngest son to Xiao Yu's mansion. As for how to survive in the future, it's up to you."

"You are a smart man and should understand."

Xiao Yu, the eighth brother of Empress Xiao.

In history, Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife, extremely famous figures in the early Tang Dynasty, were uncles and cousins. The two had a very good relationship when they were officials in the Sui Dynasty. They were able to withstand thunder in the temple together and carry guns in the red building together.

Therefore, after Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he named Xiao Yu the Duke of the Song Dynasty and worshiped him as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After Li Yuan founded the country the following year, he made Xiao Yu the internal envoy, in charge of government affairs, and became the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is that this Xiao Yu has a very good relationship with Empress Xiao's siblings. As long as Empress Xiao doesn't yell around and uses Xiao Yu's identity and power to secretly protect Empress Xiao, there won't be a big problem.

After all, Li Yuan is now a potential stock, and there will be no more wars in Chang'an in the future.

Hear the words.

Empress Xiao paused. She was extremely smart, wise and reasonable. How could she not understand what the immortal in front of her meant.

Stand up and salute respectfully.

"Ms. Xiao, thank you for saving my mother and son."

then.

He paused for a moment and then asked.

"I dare to ask the immortal, Your Majesty, how is it?"

The majesty Empress Xiao asked was naturally Yang Guang.

Ji Boying paused for a moment, and a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

It was an endless land, and as far as the eye could see, there were all bright and twinkling stars, except for a figure in an emperor's crown, floating lonely.

As a reward, the immortal master granted Yang Guang the highest courtesy, sky burial.

"he's good."

This is really not Ji Boying's deception of Empress Xiao.

After death, the body will remain immortal for thousands of years. Maybe one day in a certain year, one may meet a Trisolaran and be directly resurrected to become a fairy tale king. How could that be bad?

Say it.

With a thought, Empress Xiao and her son Yang Gao disappeared in front of them.

Finish the work.

Ji Boying was preparing to leave.

Suddenly.

A familiar subtitle popped up in front of his eyes.

"Reminder: Wang Mang requests a video call with you."

"Do you want to answer the question?"

"whether"

‘Wang Mang? ’

Ji Boying was slightly stunned when he looked at this name.

MD, that's too much.

Travelers still want to worship gods and seek immortality? !

Are all the feudal superstitions rubbish? !
