Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 172 Nong Zhenyou: The advantage is mine
There is such a naughty operation.

To be honest, what Zhu Ming did shocked Wang Fu, Mu Sheng and others.

Zhu Chu directly told the people in the city that Nong Zhenyou had rebelled and even had [-] troops approaching the city.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen wanted the people to make their own choices. If you wanted to join Nong Zhenyou, he would even take the initiative to withdraw his troops and leave the Qiubei County city to the people to ask for credit from Nong Zhenyou.

Is there such a caring and benevolent His Highness?

Not since ancient times.

But Zhu Zhen also stated the interests and harms. You have been squeezed by the eleven village leaders before, and they even forced men to recruit, and 11 people died.

From now on, when Nong Zhenyou comes, he will only be more ruthless than the eleven village leaders.

After all, Nong Zhenyou is not a Yi nationality, but a leader of the Zhuang nationality. Isn’t it just right to exploit you?

What Zhu Ming didn't say was that after he abandoned the city, he would go back to raise a new army. When the battle came again, since the people of this city dared to betray them again, Zhu Ming would really not be able to tolerate them at that time.

After some thinking, the people finally made a wise choice.

"We are willing to follow His Highness to the death."

This is the choice of the people in the city.

They have indeed been oppressed by the previous village owners. Now that Nong Zhenyou has come, what is the difference?

As Zhu Chu said, why bother?

They worked hard for the village masters and only fed the village masters, but they could only have enough food and clothing for themselves, which was considered good.

What's more, 11 people died in the previous rebellion, and now with Nong Zhenyou's rebellion, I'm afraid the Yi people in Weimo Prefecture will really be exterminated, right?

Of course, the most important thing is, is there any difference between taking refuge in Nong Zhenyou and taking refuge in Zhu Chu?

This time they have a blood feud with Zhu Zhen with 11 people, which does not mean that they usually have no friction with Nong Zhenyou.

The relations between the various villages of the same clan are very tense, let alone with other ethnic groups and tribes.

So instead of letting Nong Zhenyou come and continue to squeeze, it is better to choose to follow Zhu Zhen.

After a long period of consideration, the people of the city finally returned home.

Zhu Chu's system also immediately included Qiubei County and No. 72 Villages in Weimo Prefecture into Zhu Chu's territory, and his population also increased by a full [-].

Counting the previous territory's total population of 3208 million, it has exceeded the 400 million mark.

"Very good," Zhu Zhen was also very satisfied. As long as Vimo Prefecture is included in the territory, as long as these people become his territorial citizens, not only can it be proved that they are indeed loyal to him sincerely, Zhu Zhen can even observe it anytime and anywhere. to the question of everyone's loyalty.

In this way, Zhu Zhen can rest assured to carry out his plan.

At the moment, Zhu Zhen asked the people to go home and do whatever they needed to do.

The ensuing war had almost nothing to do with them.

As a result, the people were unhappy.

"Your Highness, since we have pledged our allegiance to you, we will naturally not have any second thoughts. Isn't it just a fight with the Zhuang people? It's not like we haven't fought before."

The common people rolled up their sleeves and arms, showing great courage to fight on the battlefield.

As expected of local people, the folk customs are indeed strong.

Zhu Ming felt dumbfounded and felt everyone's enthusiasm for participating, so he reluctantly said: "Then you guys go back and cook first. By the way, each household will prepare a pot of hot oil. If you don't have it, prepare some." boiling water."

This is another new trick he has done.

The people left happily, as if they were happy to be able to help Zhu Chu.

This is the portrayal of native people and most common people.

In fact, the people are very simple. Whether they are Han or any other race, their thoughts are very simple and honest. As long as you let me have enough to eat, I will work with you.

Even the Tu tribes were oppressed like serfs by the chieftains, but they still did not want to resist, or in other words, they did not dare to resist.

But when the native officials rebelled, they had to follow their respective chieftain officers to rebel.

Now that they are loyal to Zhu Zhen, they respect Zhu Zhen as if they were gods. I'm afraid no one will object to any harsh demands Zhu Zhen makes, even if it's Chu Ye Quan or something like that, right?
Although he won't bring it up.

In the end, Zhu Chu only left more than 30 strong men, including the eleven big men who were called at the beginning. They were very powerful, and they should be able to get through by pretending to be the village leaders.

Zhu Ming called them to the front and began to explain: "I don't need to be suspicious of others, and I am not afraid to tell you. The next task I will assign to you is to ask you to pretend to be your former village master, and then go to Then Nong Zhenyou surrendered and tricked them into coming to the city. Can it be done?"

Only by tricking Nong Zhenyou in can we close the door and beat the dog and implement the next plan.

The strong men looked at each other and scratched their heads, as if they couldn't understand such a complicated idea.

Suddenly one of the strong men looked a little smart and said with a sad look on his face: "Your Highness, it's not that you are disobedient, it's just that our original village owners were not so harmonious. Usually there would be fights between the villages. Every three days. A small fight for five days and a big fight will make it impossible for all eleven village leaders to surrender at the same time."

You can understand it if you think about how chaotic the scene was when the eleven villages were marching together.

What's even more commendable is that this strong man actually understands Chinese.

After all, Mu Ying has been guarding Yunnan for ten years, and millions of Han people have entered Yunnan over the years. Subtly, many Han cultures have also influenced the native people.

For example, Mu Qiu is familiar with Chinese books, and even Juliwu understands Chinese.

Zhu Chu thought about it and realized that this man's suggestion was correct. If Nong Zhenyou saw through the plan, it would be bad if he used his trick to break into the city.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhen didn't mean to look down on this man. Instead, Corporal Li Xian asked him what he thought.

The man was flattered and said: "Your Highness, how about this, we just pretend to be two or three village owners, and then use the discord between the villages as an excuse to go to Nong Zhenyou to pretend to surrender, and trick him into entering the city at night to help eliminate the other village owners. This should be more credible.”

"Good boy, if you are smart enough, then I will leave this matter to you. How to design the entire plan is up to you. When it is completed, I will be the king." Zhu Ming made the decision immediately. Since he has no doubts about the appointment, Simply let him complete the entire deception process and plan by himself.

"Yes, little Arjun, I obey," the man's name turned out to be Arjun.

(I searched this paragraph specifically, mainly because I didn’t understand the surname customs of the Yi people. Later I found out that the Yi people originally did not have Han surnames, and implemented a joint father-son name system under the clan totem emblem. By the early Ming Dynasty, some Yi native officials began to Records with "A", "Zhe", "Zi", "Li", etc. as surnames. I don't know if they are correct. If they are incorrect, I will change them.)
Then Zhu Chu stopped asking about the matter, and instead called Wang Fu, Mu Sheng and others to come to the city gate again.

Near the city gate, Zhu Chu surveyed the surrounding environment and many houses, intending to find a suitable place to ambush.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhen has experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small, and is especially good at strategy.

Whether it is attacking the camp at night, or using a clever chain strategy, using the empty camp strategy and burning the camp to kill Si Xingfa's 12 troops, or showing the enemy to use weakness to lure the enemy deeper, and killing Si Renfa and the eleven villages, a total of [-] troops The army pushed down the deep pool and so on.

He is becoming more and more proficient, and he feels that it is more satisfying to strategize.

Although it is refreshing to go into battle and kill the enemy, playing with the enemy in the palm of your hand gives you a sense of pleasure that suppresses your IQ.

So when Zhu Zhen thought about the next scene where Nong Zhenyou was about to step into a trap, he felt even more happy physically and mentally.

He also ordered Wang Fu and others to dig a hole in the middle of the road after entering the city, and place many spears inside as ground thorns. Finally, they would cover it with a layer of cloth and sprinkle with lime sand as a cover.

Because Arqiong planned to go out of the city overnight and pretend to be the owner of the village to trick Nong Zhenyou into entering the city at night, he thought that he would not be able to discover such a trap.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen planned to ambush his troops on both sides of the city. When the time comes, they can rush out of the farmhouse and intercept the enemy troops entering the city, so his own side will not fall into a trap.

"Nong Zhenyou, I'm not afraid that you will die," Zhu Zhen sneered, looking at the deep pits being filled in one after another, which felt very proud.

Wang Fu and Mu Sheng, on the other hand, were sweating on their foreheads. His Highness was really evil-minded. He was planning to trap Nong Zhenyou's tens of thousands of troops here.

"Arqiong is here," Mu Qiu leaned close to Zhu Chu's ear and motioned for Zhu Chu to look forward.

I saw that Arqiong was wearing a coat at this time. He looked completely different from his previous appearance. There were more than a dozen people surrounding him. He looked like he was rich or noble and had an extraordinary status.

Not far away from Arqiong, a group of people walked over quickly, glaring at Arqiong with angry expressions on their faces, as if the two of them were extremely at odds with each other and had equal status and power, and no one could do anything to the other.

Seeing the two groups of people approaching quickly, Zhu Chu quickly greeted him: "Don't come here, there's a trap there." Arqiong and the others stopped being frightened and didn't care about acting anymore, so they hurriedly walked around and got in front of Zhu Chu.

"Your Highness, do you think we act alike?" Arqiong returned to his own style and asked worriedly, fearing that he was not acting like the leader of the village and would be spotted by Na Nong Zhenyou.

In fact, Zhu Min had never met those village leaders, so he didn't know whether they were similar or not, so he casually comforted him: "Don't worry, no one can see the flaws in the middle of the night. Then you just need to act a little exaggerated." , it is best to show that you actually killed the Dian King's son, but the credit was taken away by other village owners, so you were angry and came to seek refuge with him, Nong Zhenyou."

When he mentioned the King of Dian'er, Zhu Zhen's own vassal title, he was not polite at all.

Everyone around looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise.

Zhu Ming shrugged nonchalantly. He could kill 8 enemy troops with just one curse, so just curse him casually. It doesn't matter.

Zhu Ming also explained to Arqiong and others: "You can still show weakness a little bit. For example, when you eliminated me, you two also lost a lot of troops, and others also lost tens of thousands of people. Just say There are only 3 people in the city. As long as Nong Zhenyou's army can enter the city at night, it will be enough to control everything. It's best to make him feel that he has the advantage. That's it."

In fact, the city is now fully equipped with only [-] Ming troops. This is true.

And in ancient times, siege warfare was the most difficult. Twenty thousand defenders were enough to stop an 8-person siege.

After all, the Battle of Hongdu was a special case and should not be lumped together.

But it’s no problem for 2 people to defend 8 people.

Therefore, Zhu Chu was not afraid that Nanon Zhenyou would not be fooled.

Nong Zhenyou has 8 people. As long as he is given the opportunity to enter the city, Nong Zhenyou will definitely be worthy of the few enemies in the city.

I'm afraid the only thing he's afraid of is that there are too many troops in the city.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen asked Arqiong to act a little more over the top and let Nong Zhenyou understand that the village leaders were already at odds with each other, and this time they were fighting with the Ming army, causing heavy casualties. It was the best time.

"The advantage is with me."

Late at night, when the two groups of village leaders played by Arqiong and others came to the Zhuang camp, Nong Zhenyou jumped up and was very excited.

"Great Chief, please don't be careless," someone reminded.

"Huh?" Nong Zhenyou glared angrily.

The man immediately shuddered and did not dare to say anything anymore.

As the chief of Guangnan, Nong Zhenyou had accumulated a strong power over the years. No one dared to contradict him wherever he looked coldly.

Nong Zhenyou snorted and said: "Do you think the Ming army is weak? Last year Silunfa claimed an army of hundreds of thousands, but what was the result? It was not wiped out by Mu Ying's 10,000+ army. And I heard that the Ming army still had firearms , using fire blunderbuss combined with magical arrows, even Silun's war elephant formation was destroyed."

"So even if there are 12 strong men in the 6th village of Weimo Prefecture, if you want to eat [-] Ming troops, you will still have to suffer huge losses. I guess you will lose [-] to [-], or even [-] to [-], right?"

Nong Zhenyou's last words were said to Arjun.

Arqiong suddenly stopped and beat his chest, and cursed angrily: "Don't mention it, the Dian King's son actually wants to fight us to the death. He would rather die than surrender. Although he has some courage, he has caused us countless injuries. Half of our village alone has been injured. The good man was stabbed to death by the damn Ming army. But it is clear that our village has done a lot of credit, but they take the credit, and I don't accept it."

Arjun acts extremely angry.

Under his performance, even the other actor was covered up, and we could only watch his performance alone.

Arqiong continued: "Chief Chief, our eleven villages have all suffered considerable losses this time. We had no hope of continuing to advance westward or northward."

Because Qiubei County and Guangnan Prefecture are located in the southeast corner of Yunnan and border Guangxi, they can only threaten Kunming and even the entire Yunnan by moving west or north.

"Now that your army is approaching the city, the other village owners are in panic. They plan to go back to their respective villages tomorrow and do not dare to resist you."

"But I feel that if you add your army to the strength of our villages, there may not be a chance of continuing to advance north and capture Kunming."

"As long as you can help me and enter the city at night to kill the other village owners, I will follow the leader of the chief to help you conquer Kunming. What's more, now that Mu Ying is dead, this is the best opportunity. As the saying goes, opportunities cannot be lost and never come back. Chief, if we wait for Muchun'er to stand firm, it will be too late."

Ah Qiu's acting skills are excellent, and he is half-true and half-false.

For example, the reason why the leader of the Eleventh Village was seduced by Si Renfa to use the army to rebel was because Mu Ying had just died and he thought Mu Chun was not afraid, so he started the rebellion.

I never thought that His Highness the King of Dian would come and massacre them just by using a little trick.

Although Nong Zhenyou got the news, he didn't get it completely. He mistakenly thought that the eleven village leaders had wiped out Zhu Ji with considerable damage.

So what Nong Zhenyou is thinking about now is not the problem of the Ming army at all, but the problem of how many village soldiers are still in the city.

Regarding Arjun's words, Nong Zhenyou fell into deep thought.

No one in the room, including Arqiong and another Yi actor, or Nong Zhenyou's capable generals, dared to disturb him.

After a while, Nong Zhenyou looked up and asked Arjun: "Are you trying to trick me?"

Nong Zhenyou squinted his eyes, looking very bold.

Arqiong was shocked, but he forced a smile on his face and said: "How dare you, Chief Chief. Besides, you don't even think about it. You originally planned to attack the city, but how many people will it take to attack the city? Even if I want to I lied to you, but I also planned to open the city gate to you, why should I lie to you in this way?"

"Once the city gate is opened, your army can march straight in. Wouldn't it be much easier than attacking the city? And if I lied to you and opened the city gate for you, what would I gain?"

In fact, the biggest reason why fake surrenders were so successful in ancient times is that the troops attacking a city were often several times larger than those of the defenders, and the only barrier and advantage for the defenders was the existence of city walls and gates.

So once the city gate is breached, the siege team can easily win.

And if you want to feign surrender, you have to at least open the city gate, right?
Sometimes the siege team is not afraid that you are pretending to surrender. Why?Because I have a lot of people, if you dare to pretend to surrender, then I will use your plan. When the city gate opens, I can just rush in and fight.

So Nong Zhenyou couldn't find anything to doubt.

Nong Zhenyou knew very well that the fighting power of the Ming army was not weak and could not be wiped out by mere village soldiers. Even if the Eleventh village was to win, it would suffer heavy losses, so he dared to take advantage of it.

As long as there are less than [-] defenders in the city, Nong Zhenyou is confident that he can eat them.

In this case, it doesn't make much sense whether Arqiong is faking surrender or trying to deceive himself.

To put it bluntly, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are irrelevant.

What's more, Nong Zhenyou has also heard that there have been constant frictions between the eleven villages. There is already internal discord, so it is normal for such a second or fifth boy to appear.

After thinking about it, Nong Zhenyou really couldn't find any flaw.

So he finally issued an order: "Give me the order and the whole army will set off overnight to prepare to enter the city."

"Head of the Great Chief?"

Nong Zhenyou's men stood up one after another and wanted to persuade him again.

Arqiong also shouted: "The chief is a wise man. This opportunity must not be missed again. If we miss tonight, it will be difficult for us brothers to control the city gate. Now let's go back and let people open the city gate and welcome us." The army of the great chieftain moved into Chupi.”

"Wait a minute," Ke Nong Zhenyou was not a fool. He sneered and stretched out his hand to stop Arqiong: "There is no need for the two village leaders to enter the city, so as not to accidentally hurt you if a war breaks out. Just follow me into the city."

This is to prevent fraud.

Arqiong's eyes widened, but he didn't expect that Nong Zhenyou was still guarding him.

But thinking about the people in the city and all the promises made by Zhu Zhen before, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "It should be so, then I will bother the chief chief to take care of him."

Nong Zhenyou chuckled, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Now I just need them to open the city gate so that I can easily capture the city. Then I can control all the eleven villages without fear of their dissatisfaction.

And when he controls these many armies, he will have enough strength to capture Maitreya, and then plot Kunming.

Big things can be done.

"The advantage is mine. Hahahaha."
