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

Chapter 187 Rush to the aid of Heqing County

At this time, Jiang Wei really wanted to die.

As a minister, he is also the boss of Jin Yiwei and knows many secrets that others do not know.

Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Zhu Chu, or the mobilization of Jin Yiwei to investigate Zhu Chu's actions in Yunnan.

In fact, what Zhu Zhen didn't know was that Zhu Yuanzhang had placed two informants around him, one bright and one secret. Naturally, the bright one was Wang Fu, and the secret one was the Jin Yiwei.

At the same time, after the news of the great victory in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang personally sent people to Yunnan to conduct secret investigations.

The people sent were Jin Yiwei, and they were personally assigned by Jiang Wei.

So Jiang Wei really knew what Zhu Chu had done.

At the age of 12, he went to the battlefield in person. He was not afraid of hundreds of thousands of troops and killed seven in and seven out.

To be honest, Jiang Wei even thought he was listening to storytelling.

It turned out that it was true. Zhu Zhen was really in the midst of Na Si Renfa's army, killing them like they were in an uninhabited country.

With such bravery, he might be chasing Lu Bu or even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, right?

Afterwards, Zhu Zhen promoted the reform of native land and returned to local rule, and killed two to three hundred chieftain families, large and small, in Yunnan.

Zhu Chu then inspected the territory around the end of the year, completely consolidating the territory of those chieftains who had been exterminated when Siren rebelled.

Even though the news in recent months has not yet reached the capital, countless people have died just from those incidents.

Even Jiang Gu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, couldn't help but be soaked in cold sweat.

The man in front of me is simply a living demon king. He is worthy of being your majesty's son. He kills people who kill one family after another.

And when he did these things, he completely ignored the existence of the court. Is that trespassing?You might as well declare yourself emperor. You are the emperor in Yunnan.

But in any case, these are not things Jiang Wei should interfere with. He also understood at this time that he had violated a taboo.

No matter what the trouble is between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhen, it is a matter between their father and son.

What did one of my own ministers get involved in?
In fact, he had no intention of getting involved. He even took the initiative to tell Zhu Zhen that His Majesty still had a secret decree and hoped that Zhu Zhen could cooperate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei felt wronged. It would be cheap to kill those two stupid young men.

"Get up."

At this time, Zhu Chu's voice brought Jiang Wei back to his senses from his random thoughts.

He stood up tremblingly and carefully.

Before meeting Zhu Chu, Jiang Wei had already heard of this prince's name.

Now that I saw it, I found it was even scarier than I heard.

At this time, he doesn't have the majesty of the past.

Zhu Chu glanced sideways at Jiang Wei and asked, "Are you still not convinced?"

Jiang Wei was so frightened that he knelt down again and shouted: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Ha," Zhu Ming sneered and said, "You don't have to be dissatisfied. Since I said that someone is going to rebel, or is already rebelling, I won't lie. It just so happens that your Jin Yiwei is here, so let's go with the army to see it. Watch it. Wang Fu and A Qiu go and inform Zhao Kuo and Mu Sheng. The enemy is attacking Heqing County. Since the distance is so close, let’s simply attack with the whole army and try to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop.”

"Here."

Wang Fu and Mu Qiu quickly took the order and left, especially Mu Qiu, who hurried to the backyard as fast as the wind in his footsteps.

The military camps of Mu Sheng and Zhao Kuo were both outside the city. After all, one man commanded 2 troops, so it was not suitable to be stationed in the city.

Moreover, the soldiers in the barracks have to drill every morning. At the same time, because of the existence of the garrison system, they have to take care of a large area of ​​military fields and so on.

It’s also more convenient to live outside the city.

Zhu Chu was not idle either. After Wang Fu left, he called Li Gui over.

This Li Gui is the Jin Yiwei that Zhu Yuanzhang placed next to Zhu Li. I don’t know whether Li Gui was the Jin Yiwei at the beginning, or was later transferred to the capital from King Lu, and was then included in the Jin Yiwei by Zhu Yuanzhang during that period, and then followed Wang Fu. He became the bodyguard of Zhu Chu's king.

Zhu Chu didn't care and never pointed it out. Now that even the boss of Jinyiwei was in front of him, he no longer had to avoid this spy.

"Li Gui," Zhu Zhen shouted.

Li Gui knelt down on one knee without even looking at Jiang Yu, who was standing aside, and said, "See you, Your Highness. The general will be here."

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "Same as the previous rules, except leaving [-] soldiers to defend the city, another [-] soldiers will go out with me. According to the rotation, you should lead the army this time, right?"

Zhu Zhen has three guards, and they are all super-staffed.

Among them, the three major commanders, Wang Fu, Zhao Kuo and now Mu Sheng, each lead an army of [-].

Moreover, Wang Fu's troops were not only Zhu Chu's personal guards, but were also responsible for all the city defense affairs of Dali City, such as patrols in the city, sentries on the city walls, entrance and exit inquiries at the city gates, etc.

Even Li Shuran sometimes asked them for help when doing taxes.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen would not take away all the troops every time, but would leave at least [-] defenders behind to avoid another sneak attack with swords and swords.

"Yes," Li Gui agreed loudly, and went to assemble the troops in the city with an excited look on his face.

In fact, as Wang Fu's deputy general, Li Gui was also one of the two commanders. He had no problems with force and was also a fierce general.

It's a pity that he happened to become a Jinyiwei, and Zhu Zhen could only exclude him to the margins.

If it weren't for Jiang Wei and other Jin Yi guards following him this time, Li Gui would still have been left behind in the city.

As Zhu Chu's order was passed on, when the entire army learned that another war was about to begin, not only did they show no resistance at all, but they became excited.

Especially in the palace, some people were excited when they heard that it was their turn to go into battle to kill the enemy.

On the other hand, the other people who had just returned suddenly cried out in mourning because it was their turn to stay in the city.

Jiang Wei and other Jin Yiwei were dumbfounded.

Although going into battle to kill enemies can make achievements, it also represents danger.

How many people have fought in ancient times?
But these soldiers don't seem to be afraid of death?
How did they know that in the battles led by Zhu Chu, except for the heavy losses in the decisive battle of Dingbian, there were no large casualties, and almost all of them were complete victories.

For example, when fighting Dao Ganmeng, the Tengchong Dao Gong family suffered huge losses and intercepted Dao Ganmeng's troops. However, Zhu Chu's troops suddenly came out from the rear and disrupted Dao Ganmeng's troops with just a burst of cover.

Then Zhu Zhen likes to use tactics instead of confronting the enemy head-on.

If your number is small, I will eat you. If your number is large, I will use tactics.

Whether it was the Eleventh Village of Weimo Prefecture or Nong Zhenyou, the chief of Guangnan, they were all defeated by Zhu Zhen's strategy of defeating more with less.

Moreover, Zhu Min was very generous. Although he no longer rewarded the entire army with great fanfare, he never failed to reward his subordinates.

After all, they had raided countless chieftain families before and after. In addition to opening warehouses to release grain, a lot of money went directly into the pockets of the soldiers.

In short, you can’t go wrong by following His Highness.

Even Zhu Zhen himself went back to the inner hall and changed his clothes.

Zhu Xi was seen wearing a Ming army-style armor. The thick steel helmet was inlaid with many brass as embellishments, and there was even a giant python wrapped around his body.

This is not the recklessness of a python, but a python dragon, with four claws and two horns on its head.

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up and he was greatly shocked. Standing in front of Zhu Chu, he felt that the python pattern on his Feiyu suit was really a fish.

And although Zhu Zhen is only 15 years old, he is now almost 1.8 meters tall, with a strong figure, clear facial features and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes exposed under the helmet.

I'm afraid that even if Lu Bu is chosen among them, it's just like this, right?
But it is said that Lu Bu's actual height may be more than two meters?
Then Zhu Chu is still far behind.

But he is only 15 years old, he is only 15 years old.

He can at least continue to grow until he is 20, right?
God knows how tall he will be in five years.

Zhu Chu came to the yard outside and took a look at the troops that had already been assembled. There were also horses brought by Li Gui beside him.

When he came to the side of the war horse, Zhu Xi patted the horse's head with his hand and said with a smile: "Old man, we are going to fight together to kill the enemy again."

For those who didn’t know, they thought Zhu Ming was already a veteran.

But in fact, he can indeed be called a battle-hardened veteran.

In the past two years, he has fought in both north and south, conquering almost all of Yunnan.

What is even more commendable is that Zhu Zhen has never been defeated and can be said to be a completely victorious general.

This war horse has been following Zhu Chu, as if it was a human being, it rubbed Zhu Chu's hand affectionately, stood there honestly and let Zhu Chu press his hand, then turned over and stepped on it gracefully.

But don't look at it's honesty now. If you let Zhu Chu try riding another horse in front of it, you can believe that this thing can bite people.

"Let's go," Zhu Zhen shouted.

The whole army looked at Zhu Zhen with burning eyes, followed behind His Highness, and the whole army moved silently.There was no mess in the whole process. Under the extremely envious gazes of the soldiers who stayed behind, they followed Zhu Zhen and walked out of the palace and walked onto the street.

There were many pedestrians on the road outside. When they saw Zhu Zhen suddenly leading his troops out, they all spontaneously stepped aside.

"Is Your Highness going on another expedition?"

"Is there another chieftain rebelling?"

"Really, if you can only live a good life, why bother if you have to rebel?"

"Your Highness, kill them all."

The people did not panic, but cheered in the streets.

Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry to gallop on his horse, but smiled and nodded or waved to the people around him without any pretense.

Jiang Wei, who was following the army, saw this with extremely complicated expressions.

It's not that he resented Zhu Xi's different treatment of him and the common people. You were not so approachable just now.

Jiang Wei was moved and shocked that Zhu Chu's popularity among the people in Dali and even in Yunnan was so high.

He knew that Zhu Chu was already popular among the people in Yunnan.

But His Highness has only been in Yunnan for a few years?Has it actually come to this?

No wonder His Majesty is jealous and even jealous. As time goes by, will Yunnan still know about the imperial court and your Majesty?

I am afraid that in less than ten years, Yunnan will only know the King of Dian, and he will follow his lead, right?

But for some reason, Jiang Wei was looking forward to it.

"Your Highness, are you just pretending that you love the people like a son and are approachable?" Jiang Wei secretly thought in his heart.

In this way, Zhu Zhen led his troops all the way out of the city.

Because Heqing County is to the north of Dali, Zhu Chu came out from the north gate.

When he came out, the troops had already been assembled outside. Zhao Kuo came to Zhu Ming with an excited face, got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, Zhao Kuo's troops have been assembled. This time I will go on an expedition with His Highness this time and I will definitely live up to His Highness’s expectations.”

This time Zhu Pingping did not bring Zhao Kuo with him. Although he would not be dissatisfied, he had been looking forward to it for a long time. Now that he could finally go on the expedition, he naturally wanted to kill him.

Zhu Ming nodded with a smile and said: "Get up, I know your bravery. When the time comes, it will be up to you to charge into battle and kill the generals."

Zhao Kuo stood up and muttered: "Your Highness, you are actually killing the general with a flag."

Zhu Xi's smile immediately froze on his face.

This Zhao Kuo, forget that he always likes to find fault.

Jiang Wei in the back had a strange expression. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare. This was because he was thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict in plain English, and he thought to himself that he was indeed your father and son.

"Wait a minute, where is my Aqiu?" Zhu Ming raised his head. Although he was in front of the entire army, he had no intention of avoiding suspicion and was looking for his wife.

Suddenly a horse rushed out from the city behind Zhu Chu, but no one dared to stop him.

Jiang Wei was horrified and shouted: "Enemy attack? Assassin the king and kills the king? Guard His Highness."

"What are you shouting for?" Wang Fu came over from the other side and rolled his eyes at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei turned around in confusion, and then suddenly realized.

I saw Mu Qiu specially returning to the palace. At this time, he put on a silver-white armor and helmet, and came to Zhu Chu with a spear in hand.

"Your Highness," Mu Qiu came to Zhu Chu's side and said, "Aqiu is ready and can follow His Highness on the expedition at any time."

Jiang Wei was surprised: "Do you want Miss Mu to come too?"

Zhu Ming looked at Jiang Wei strangely: "Aren't you a Jinyiwei? Why don't you know that my Aqiu can kill enemies when he mounts his horse, and governs the place when he dismounts? He can go up to the hall during the day, and he can go up at night. Cough cough cough."

Zhu Zhen almost said, "I can get a bed at night," but this was not what an outsider would say.

Mu Qiu's pretty face blushed and she rolled her eyes at Zhu Chu. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise he would not be alive, but there were [-] troops watching in front of him.

Zhu Chu had a total of 1 troops. Although he had lost more than [-] troops before, he later added new troops in Yongchang Mansion.

After more than a year of hard work, it is no longer obvious who joined later, and the whole army is united.

Zhu Ming looked at his elite troops with a proud look on his face, and pointed to the north with a wave of his hand: "I have received news that chieftains from Beisheng Prefecture are attacking Heqing County. That is the place of the Mu clan. Before Uncle Mu De died of illness on the way to help us. Brother Mu Chu and my Aqiu continued to help us in Dali according to father's legacy. That's why we didn't let Dao Gan Meng Meng break the city, so that we can have no worries, and Si Ren sent out the dog thief. Fight to the death. I will never forget this feeling."

"Today, whether it is to repay a favor, to consolidate our country, or even for my wife's natal family, this battle will be invincible."

Mu Qiu on the side looked at Zhu Zhen with shining eyes, and his heart was so filled with love.

So what if you have no status?So what if there is no such ceremony?
She is His Highness's wife.

"The whole army is mobilized."

The [-]-strong army immediately took action.

Mu Sheng led [-] troops and rushed directly to the front. Like his brother, he always liked to be the vanguard.

Then Wang Fu took over the command of the [-] troops from Zhu Chu and was responsible for the central army and guarding Zhu Chu.

Zhao Kuo's [-] troops were the rear army.

Jiang Wei led his royal guards to follow the Chinese army, but suddenly discovered something unexpectedly. He couldn't help but ask Zhu Zhen: "Your Highness, I found that there are no soldiers in the army?"

Joining the army is also a deputy army or an auxiliary army. Not only does the military household registration include joining the army, but since ancient times, some troops like to recruit strong farmers during wars. Their role is to serve as logistics troops and transport grain and grass supplies.

But Jiang Wei discovered that Zhu Chu's [-] troops were all the main force. The question was, what about the baggage troops?Where is your food?What about your logistics?

Zhu Qi glanced at Jiang Yu and said, "If we don't have food and grass, the enemy will prepare it for us."

Some of the guards nearby burst into laughter.

Wang Fu also rode up to Jiang Wei and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Jiang doesn't know our fighting style. Let alone the logistics and food. I'm afraid that in the end, many people will be assigned to transport the food and grass."

forage?logistics?supply?

What is that?

The whole army of Zhu Chu only knows one thing, that is, if they follow His Highness, they will never be hungry.

Moreover, since the night attack on Daosilang's troops in the first battle, a large amount of loot was obtained, and even grain and grass could not be transported. Daosilang's troops left a lot of grain and grass, and even gave Mu Ying a discount and replenished them. .

Not to mention the subsequent elimination of countless toast families along the way. There was simply no way to finish the food in the granaries.

They were very familiar with Zhu Chu's habits. Since some chieftains dared to rebel again this time, they must have followed the same style. The chieftains' families were all wiped out, and then the granaries were opened to release grain, and they returned to their old ways.

Therefore, if they don’t have food and grass, let the enemy prepare it for them.

Therefore, Zhu Chu's troops only brought three days of rations and did not need a logistics force, so they asked each soldier to bring them by themselves, so that they could go into battle lightly.

Originally, Heqing County was not far from Dali, and due to the rapid march, we actually arrived in the evening of the same day.

Especially Mu Sheng's army, among his 2 people, there were actually 1 cavalry.

After Zhu Chu eliminated Nong Zhenyou before, he harvested countless war horses and formed a cavalry force of 5000 people.

Later, Zhu Chu made overall plans and decided to give Mu Sheng [-] horses. After all, Mu Sheng was a vanguard and could better utilize the power of the cavalry.

In addition to Mu Sheng, Wang Fu also took advantage. For example, this time his [-] troops were all cavalry.

This is so that after Mu Sheng's vanguard rushes out, the Chinese army can rush into the enemy army at any time with high mobility.

Only Zhao Kuo was eating ashes in the back with an envious look on his face.

God knows that naughty Nong Zhenyou actually has [-] cavalry. If I had known that he would have a chance with that kid Mu Sheng.

Recalling that when His Highness returned to the city, he could only watch Mu Sheng show off his power with ten thousand cavalry troops, but he could only be envious and jealous.

Not to mention the taste.

At this moment, a messenger from Mu Sheng's command came to report: "Your Highness, the enemy has been spotted ahead. General Mu Sheng asked if he should rush to kill?"

Zhu Chu was in the Chinese army and could not see the situation in front at this time, but he could also hear shouts of killing coming from a distance.

Zhu Chu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu who was accompanying the army.

Jiang Wei had also heard it. The earth-shattering shouts of killing came from a distance. God knows how the battle was going.

At the same time, he also understood what Zhu Chu meant, which was to tell him that what he said before was correct.

Zhu Ming looked back at the messenger and said, "Tell Mu Sheng to kill him as he pleases, and I will be here soon."

"Here."
