Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 527 It Should Be Yours, Don't Take It
By the time the Ming army knew the news of the attack on the army, it was already ten days later.

As for why it was ten days later?Because after attacking the Ming army, they first sorted out the results, compiled the list of captured and beheaded Ming army officials and generals, and then bypassed the Xining Guard with Zhu Qizhen, the biggest result of their trip. Heading towards the Ningxia central defender.

Ye Xian is a sensible person. He knows very well that if he wants to hold on to the victory and break the foundation of the Ming army's resistance, he must first occupy the Loop.

The Ming army's strong maritime power was useless. The Ming army's treasure ships could only enter the lower reaches of the Yellow River at best, and could not reach the middle reaches.

Therefore, if the Ming army wanted to counterattack, it would have to start on land, and on land, the most important strategic material was horses.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty was strong not because of its powerful firearms, but because while its firearms were powerful, the Ming army also had powerful cavalry, which could deal with and disrupt the offensive of the northern nomads in various ways.

If the Hetao can be captured, then Daning and Kaiping will also be lost, and eventually all the horse breeding lands in the world will return to their hands.

By that time, what if the Ming army had powerful firearms?They have powerful cavalry, even if they walk their dogs, they can walk the Ming army to death!
Therefore, he immediately took Zhu Qizhen to Ningxia Zhongwei, trying to use Zhu Qizhen as the emperor as a threat to knock on the door of Ningxia Zhongwei and drive straight into the Hetao.

The army was attacked, Zhang Fu, Fan Zhong and other generals were killed in the battle, and the news that the emperor was captured spread.

Shuntian Mansion, the Imperial Palace.

As Ningxia Zhongwei rushed the news to the capital eight hundred miles away, Shuntian Mansion was already in chaos. Officials had already begun to pack things and send their families away, and they were ready to run away at any time.

However, some people can walk, but some people cannot.

It’s not that they don’t want to leave, it’s that they want to leave but can’t.

In the Yangxin Hall, Sun Ruowei clenched the battle report in her hand and looked at the civil and military officials below. Her chest was rising and falling, but she couldn't say a word.

How to say?say what?
Sun Ruowei didn't know.

In order to lay the foundation of the emperor's line in one fell swoop, in order to prevent Zhu Zhanhe from having the chance to re-enter Shuntian, and for the power that she had worked hard for more than ten years, she had sent out all the people she could trust on this expedition. What I want is a battle to determine the outcome.

However, before the battle began, the army was attacked, and everything disappeared in an instant like foam in the sun.

Not only had she worked hard for more than ten years, the generals she had promoted were wiped out, but several important civil servants also disappeared due to the war. Even her most important and only bargaining chip was gone.

Without her son and her son's status as emperor, she didn't know how to prevent Zhu Zhanhe's comeback.

Sun Ruowei is actually not stupid. She is keenly aware of the changes in people's hearts, so she uses this method to stabilize her son's foundation and block Zhu Zhanhe's chance of making a comeback.

However, now she failed and even her son was captured by the enemy.

Under this situation, Sun Ruowei knew one thing very well, that is, as the news spread, whether it was officials, military generals, or even the most ordinary people, the first thing they thought of at this time was definitely her least. The name of the person who wants to hear it.

Zhu Zhanhe.

From the age of ten to nearly 40 years old, from rising to fame to conquering Jiaozhi in the south and conquering the Japanese in the east, and then to the expedition to Timurid's empire and Europe for eighteen years, this man was the only one who never suffered a defeat and led the Ming Dynasty to victory in consecutive battles.

In a defeat of this level when the emperor was captured, the first thing people thought of was definitely this person!

"You have nothing to say? Don't you talk a lot on weekdays?"

Sun Ruowei spoke in a calm tone, which made people feel a little weird.

Logically speaking, she is the one who should be least at peace at this time, because with this outcome, she is the one who will suffer the greatest loss, not to mention that her son was captured by the enemy.

However, in this situation, in this low-pressure atmosphere, no one dared to speak.

"I have a plan..."

I don’t know how long the silence lasted, but someone finally broke the silence. Everyone’s eyes were attracted by this voice, and everyone was curious about who would make such a move at this time.

But when everyone's eyes focused on this person, they all felt that it was normal.

Yu Qian.

"Say..." Sun Ruowei said weakly.

Yu Qian spoke. This was what she least wanted to see, but there was no way. No one spoke except Yu Qian.

Is it possible to avoid this current situation by running away?no.

The enemy will take advantage of this opportunity and even take advantage of their evasion to gain more advantages until they can no longer retreat.

"As far as I know, Prince Wu has already brought people here..."

"To shut up!"

Before Yu Qian finished speaking, Sun Ruowei slammed the table, and the sound was so loud that everyone was startled.

Everyone was silent, not daring to make a sound, and at the same time they were still complaining about Yu Qian in their hearts.

Don’t you know the conflict between the two families of the Ming Dynasty?Fortunately, you were once a favorite of the King of Wu. Now, when you speak, aren't you just pointing the finger at the gun?

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Yu Qian not only spoke, but also exposed Sun Ruowei's most untouchable scar.

That's not all, Yu Qian didn't even stop because of Sun Ruowei's anger.

"To the Queen Mother, things... seem to be beyond our control..."

Yu Qian lowered his head, took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, and presented it with both hands.

The eunuch beside Sun Ruowei raised his head slightly, looked at Sun Ruowei's unkind expression, and then looked at Yu Qian who lowered his head and held up the memorial in both hands. Finally, he walked down, took the memorial in Yu Qian's hand and sent it to Sun Ruowei.

However, the eunuch looked so trembling, as if he was holding not a memorial, but a bomb that would explode at any time.

Sun Ruowei took a deep look at Yu Qian, and then looked down at the memorial in his hand.

However, just looking at it like this, Sun Ruowei slumped on the seat powerlessly, his eyes glazed over, and the memorial in his hand fell to the ground. On the tip of the heart, one can't help but tremble.

Sun Ruowei knew... it was over, everything... was completely over...

……

Tongzhou Wharf.

After getting off the ship, regardless of the people kneeling on the ground around the dock, the hope in the eyes of those people, and the curiosity of the people when they looked at the steamship, Zhu Zhanhe commanded the soldiers on the ship to move everything Remove them all.

Entering Tongzhou this time, or even entering Shuntian Mansion or even the frontline battlefield in the future, he would not trust anyone in the court.

Zhu Qiming stood behind his father, opening his mouth to speak, but he hesitated for a long time, but said nothing.

He looked at the people around him. They were kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of hope and even piety, as if they regarded the Xiangzhou Prefecture soldiers in front of them as gods who rescued the suffering, as if they had completely forgotten that just a few days ago, they were United as one, they blocked the entry of the fleet at Tongzhou Pier.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiming seemed to understand, he understood why his father was so cold, he understood why his father wanted to withdraw from Shuntian Mansion in the first place, and he understood why his father never developed his power in the Central Plains.

As for the so-called prosperity, in fact, only those who work together to fight to the end and finally reap the results are qualified to enjoy it, and these people in front of them...

A group of ignorant people only worry about what they worry about, but they completely fail to see what they have enjoyed.

Often, the closer the people are to the bustling capital, the more they enjoy, the more comfortable the people are, the more ignorant they are.
