Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 540 Wala who was strangled by fate
In fact, for now, it is not difficult for Zhu Zhanhe to ascend the throne. He can do it anytime he wants.

On the surface, the throne seems to require a lot of factors, and there are differences between rebelling and inheriting the throne.

If you started out as a rebel like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, then you need to get the support of many people, and you also need to have strong abilities, a relatively noble character, or be good at acting.

If you are to inherit the throne, you will need factors such as bloodline, ability, and people's hearts.

As far as Zhu Zhanhe is concerned, even though he launched a charge towards the throne after his nephew's death, he is still the Ming Dynasty's Guo Zuo after all. Even if he is Zhu Qizhen's cousin, he still belongs to the group of people who will inherit the throne. share.

And he already has everything he needs to inherit the throne.

The first thing to bear the brunt is his bloodline. He is the crown prince of King Wu of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is not a direct descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, two generations back, he is also a direct descendant of Emperor Taizong.

Now in the lineage of the Hongxi Emperor, Emperor Xuande and the Zhengtong Emperor are dead and have no heirs. Zhu Zhanyong will definitely be held accountable for his rebellion. If the Zhengtong Emperor reigns, it is hard to say what the final verdict will be, but if it is the King of Wu, People with pulse...

It is certain that Zhu Zhanyong and his whole family will sit together.

Emperor Hongxi's third son, Zhu Zhanyi, died, leaving behind a son, Zhu Qiyong. Although Zhu Zhanzhen used his own life to give his son and grandson a chance of survival, and Zhu Zhanhe also spared Zhu Qiyong's life, but It proves that Zhu Qiyong will no longer be a threat in the future.

Unless Zhu Qiyong is a person obsessed with power and wants to make Zhu Zhanhe suffer in this situation.

If that's the case, his ending will definitely be very bad, even worse than that of his third uncle Zhu Zhanyong.

As for Emperor Hongxi’s concubine...

This does not constitute a threat. After all, we are all bastards. Why do you make such a fuss?And Zhu Zhanhe has other advantages.

This is the second key point for inheriting the throne: ability.

Needless to say, Zhu Zhanhe's ability is not to mention that his military achievements are unrivaled by anyone in the world. It is probably difficult to find anyone who can compare with him in the entire history of the Central Plains.

After all, Huo Qubing, the great general of the Western Han Dynasty, only faced one enemy, the Xiongnu, while Zhu Zhanhe swept across the Eurasian continent.

Now, in front of Zhu Zhanhe is the last element, which is the human heart.

Zhu Zhanhe has the human heart, but it is a little complicated.

In the beginning, during the Yongle period, Zhu Zhanhe had only the support of military generals, while the civil servant camp overwhelmingly supported the prince, who was Emperor Hongxi.

But later, with the promotion of Gongyang School, coupled with Chen Xun, Hu Hu and others, Zhu Zhanhe also became very prestigious in the civil servant camp.

Apart from anything else, there is no problem in forming a complete imperial court among the officials who currently support Zhu Zhanhe.

What is really complicated is the public sentiment.

People's support also existed in Zhu Zhanhe. In the past, it was limited to places controlled by King Wu's lineage such as Xiangzhou Prefecture. However, as the orthodox emperor was defeated and captured, people panicked and prepared to flee Shuntian. Zhu Zhanhe was like a divine soldier descending from heaven. Gave people hope.

Only at this time did people realize that Zhu Zhanhe was not as aggressive and aggressive as they thought. At least, with Zhu Zhanhe around, they didn't have to worry about being broken all the way to the capital by the enemy.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe's original disadvantage of not having much popular support in the north was made up for. Although it was not complete, it was enough.

This is because the northern region is threatened by Oara's southward movement. There are very few places that are dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanhe and are not threatened by Oara's southward movement.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanhe is waiting for an opportunity, or a trophy.

A trophy that... can be obtained when he ascends to the throne and offers sacrifices to heaven and earth and the Ancestral Temple.

And this trophy was slowly walking towards his arms.

……

Duoyanwei, the main tent of the Ming army.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this news..." Liu Qingwen stood behind Zhu Zhanhe, hesitating to speak.

"You don't think it's trustworthy?" Zhu Zhanhe didn't even raise his head, still looking at the secret letter in front of him.

……

Liu Qingwen didn't speak, but he obviously thought so.

Qianhu, who was the bodyguard of the crown prince, followed Zhu Zhanhe from Japan to Indochina, and then all the way to Europe through Central Asia. Liu Qingwen, who now fought back to the Ming Dynasty, believed that this kind of news was unreliable.

The reason was the secret letter in Zhu Zhanhe's hand.

This secret letter was sent back by the crown prince’s guard. From the experience of the expedition to Central Asia and Europe, the crown prince’s guard’s intelligence has never been wrong. However, the people of a country tied up their king and wanted to send him away. To the enemy camp?

Liu Qingwen felt that this kind of news was not very credible and could not believe it.

"You are too paranoid." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Do you still remember how many Walas we have killed since the one-month period I set for you has passed?"

"Return to His Majesty the Crown Prince!" Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's question, Liu Qingwen quickly lowered his head.

"If my subordinates remember correctly, there are already more than 8 people."

"Yes, 8 people." Zhu Zhanhe was also a little emotional when he heard this.

"8 people may not seem like a lot, but for nomadic people like the Oara, 8 people is already a big number, and we still clean up indiscriminately, not giving them a way to survive at all."

"There is nothing important in life except death. The potential that a person can explode in the face of death is far beyond people's imagination."

"Don't think that the people are ignorant. In fact, their knowledge may not be as good as those of the literati, and their military skills may not be as good as those of the military generals, but it is the most basic human instinct to judge the general situation."

"If you ask me, given the current situation, who will win in the end?"

……

Liu Qingwen was speechless upon hearing this.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty... or Zhu Zhanhe, first swept through East Asia, then Southeast Asia, and then to South Asia, West Asia and Europe. Although there were also small-scale defeats, such as in Europe, the final outcome was with the Ming Dynasty. The victory ended.

Nowadays, it can be said that Wala has no chance of winning against the Ming Dynasty. It is like a tiger chasing an old wolf that has fallen behind. Although the old wolf also has fighting power, the strength of the two sides is not proportional.

In this case, it is very possible and the wisest choice for the wolf cubs to use the old wolf's life to fill the tiger's belly in exchange for their own survival.

"Don't worry." Zhu Zhanhe threw the secret letter into the brazier aside.

"Even if those Wala people have evil intentions and want to use this matter as an excuse to set a trap for us, we are not afraid."

"Winter is about to begin..."

Liu Qingwen heard this and looked outside the tent.

Duoyanwei is not a good place, at least it is not a good place in this era. It is an absolutely bitter and cold place, but compared to the past Oara and Tatar, Duoyanwei can barely be regarded as a good place.

However, now that the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, it not only drives the Wala people to flee in embarrassment, but also pushes the territory back to the Onan River. This is equivalent to driving all the Wala people to a colder place.

Push forward more than ten years, when the relationship between Daming and Wala was still harmonious, Wala still needed to rely on mutual trade with Daming to survive the bitter cold winter. Now...

Oara went south and captured the orthodox emperor. During the period from Liangzhou Guard to Ningxia Zhongwei, they plundered a lot of things, but these were not enough to support the entire Oara through the winter.

Moreover, because of Zhu Zhanhe's northward journey, Wala left a lot of things behind in order to lighten their load. This resulted in them not only not getting what they wanted when they went south this time, but they even lost some of what they had already obtained. .

Just like what Zhu Zhanhe said, even if it was Ye's plan this time, Daming was not afraid.

The hard power is there. As long as Zhu Zhanhe is careful not to be replaced by the opponent's limit, it will not have any impact on the final outcome.

……

While Zhu Zhanhe was waiting quietly for the action on the other side of Wala, something happened here in Wala.

Facts have proved that people make plans and God makes things happen.

Some things don't just mean you can succeed if you work hard.

Just like this time in Oala, the soldiers at the bottom finally broke through the shackles left by class in their hearts. They attacked the generals in groups and captured them alive, hoping to exchange them for a chance to survive, but in the end they failed.

Tie Liang Guti.

There has always been a garrison here in Wala, which has continued since the Yuan Dynasty to this day. In the past 20 years or so, Wala has stationed troops here every year and spent a lot of military expenditures.

The reason lies in the special geographical location here.

If we just talk about Tie Lianggu Ti, not many people may know it. If we talk about Tie Lianggu Ti’s alias, Tie Liangwu, no one may know it. But if we talk about a river here, then everyone should know it.

The Stone River in Yeer is also known as...the Irtysh River.

Yes, it was the only river that flowed into the Arctic Ocean for later generations of flower growers.

As for the specific location of the Oara garrison... it was almost here in Novosibirsk, where Mao Xiong lived in later generations.

At this point, it is obvious what the mission of the garrison in Oara was, which was to spy on intelligence when Zhu Zhanhe was in charge of Western Europe.

After Zhu Zhanhe's Western Expedition ended, Wala's spying on Europe has never ended, because Europe already belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and there will be heavyweights like Zhu Zhanhe to guard it in the future.

Wala has never given up his ambition to go south, and once they go south, they will already be in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Europe, guarded by people like Zhu Zhanluo, will definitely not stand idly by.

Therefore, Wala stationed troops here every year and spent a huge amount of money in order to get Zhu Zhanhe's movements one step ahead.

However, he may not have expected that this garrison, which was originally used to spy on intelligence, would eventually become his place of escape.

Perhaps what he never expected was that he would be overthrown by his subordinates here and become a gift to Zhu Zhanhe from ordinary soldiers.

Or perhaps, no one in Wala expected that in this move south and the subsequent rebellion, no one in Wala would be the winner.

Those who fled everywhere were not the winners, nor were the soldiers of Wala who were captured alive and wanted to exchange Zhu Zhanhe for a chance to survive.

The only winner is Ming Dynasty.

"Are these people?" Zhu Sanfeng was dressed all over his body and his face was as cold as frost, giving people a feeling of being heroic but not daring to get close.

"Congratulations to General! The entire Wala Garrison has been searched! These are the only ones!"

After listening to the personal guard's report, Zhu Sanfeng did not relax, but instead frowned more and more.

It would be a good thing to catch everyone, but the problem is that there are too few people caught.

3000 people, as Grand Master Wala Yexian, have they fallen to this level?
Zhu Sanfeng knew about the garrison in Wala. After all, after conquering Europe, there were not many enemies who could fall into Zhu Zhanhe's eyes. understand these.

Even if she doesn't understand, Jian Xiao was once Zhu Zhanhe's military advisor, so she naturally knows this.

Therefore, Zhu Sanfeng could not say that he fully understood the garrison in Wala, but it could also be said that he almost knew it.

2000 people are stationed every year just to spy on intelligence. Considering the current situation, this means that 1000 people were taken along with them during this escape!

As the actual leader of Wala, this is too little.

"General Zhu, look..."

Seeing that Zhu Sanfeng had not spoken for a long time, the guard on the side asked with some hesitation.

"Forget it, let's ignore them for now." Zhu Sanfeng shook his head slightly.

"Send the order! Except for Ye Xian, his son and his younger brother, all others will be dealt with! Prepare to move south! Meet King Zhongshun of Hami Guard!"

"Yes!"

……

Seeing the soldiers all moving, Zhu Sanfeng shook his head slightly and got rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind.

How many followers and guards he brought with him when he went out first. Although this matter is very important and even related to how much strength Wala still has, but at the moment, this is not the most important thing.

This time, during the siege of the Wala garrison, they captured alive Zhu Zhanhe's most needed Ye Xian, as well as Ye Xian's younger brother King Saihan, his eldest son Boronahalle, and his second son Ashe Timur. This was already a victory that exceeded expectations. .

For now, the question of how much strength Wala still has can be put aside for the time being, because the Ming Dynasty will not have the option of failure against Wala.

Thinking of this, Zhu Sanfeng suddenly felt a little excited.

She knew that Zhu Zhanhe had been waiting for Ye Xian to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple when he ascended the throne, and it could also gather people's hearts to the greatest extent.

But now, Zhu Sanfeng remembered that she seemed... to have the opportunity to see Zhu Zhanhe ascend the throne with his own eyes.

Unlike Zhu Sanfeng, not far behind Zhu Sanfeng, Ye Xian, who was imprisoned in the prison car, had a look of despair on his face at this time.

Originally he still had a chance.

He has been the Grand Master of Wala for so many years and was captured by his own people. He may still be able to convince those people to let him go. Although he only recently faced off against Zhu Zhanhe, as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. He still understands Zhu Zhanhe. Looking at the valley.

He knew that Zhu Zhanhe would not easily let go of the opportunity to incorporate Wala into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he believed that as long as he worked hard and made some empty promises, he would still have a chance to reverse the situation.

But now, Zhu Sanfeng came and took over the garrison in one go.

Wala's throat was controlled by Daming.

When I think about my future, I feel despair at first.

If it was an ordinary Ming soldier, maybe he would try harder to see if he could persuade him, but Zhu Sanfeng...

I wonder, who in the world doesn't know that Qian Yong, Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng are Zhu Zhanhe's three biggest loyalists.

From being selected by Zhu Zhanhe to now, the three of Qian Yong have experienced many hardships and temptations, but they have never changed their loyalty to Zhu Zhanhe.

How could he convince such a person first?
