Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 12 Lao Wu, you are really good at hiding.

Although it is a serious and sad thing for descendants to kill each other, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.

Don't blame him for not being able to hold back, it's really Wu Wang Zhu Ru's actions that are too coquettish.

First, he raised three thousand martyrs at his own expense and gained the trust of Emperor Jianwen. Using Emperor Jianwen's power, spending Jianwen's money, and borrowing Jianwen's name, he finally deceived 50,000 soldiers and horses to defect to King Yan.

These 50,000 soldiers and horses were all spent on Emperor Jianwen's money and fame. King Yan didn't spend any of it. Every time he came in and came out, it was equal to Emperor Jianwen's loss of 100,000 troops!
  And what Wu King Zhu Ru paid was only three thousand martyrs raised at his own expense.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is: Emperor Jianwen's last dignity and prestige were lost in one day because of King Wu Zhu Ju!
  Not only because Zhu Yunwen showed his stupidity to the world in this matter, but also because Zhu Yu was the first vassal king to openly support King Yan!
  Once this kind of thing starts, it will flood like the Yellow River bursting its banks.

Zhu Yunwen's biggest advantage is that he is the emperor, while Zhu Di is just a rebel. No matter how hard the rebels fight, they are no match for the overwhelming public opinion. Although King Yan had more victories than defeats, for this reason, he gained little from winning battles, but retreated thousands of miles after losing battles.

However, because of this wave of operations by Wu King Zhu Xi, the balance between Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen and Yan King Zhu Di was completely broken!
  The prestige of the court fell to the bottom, but King Yan's prestige was at its peak because of the support of Wu King Zhu Ji!

[You know, you have become a recognized joke. 】

[As a result, the imperial court retreated steadily. Like an unstoppable scourge, the Yan army fought consecutively and successfully, crossing the natural chasm of the Yangtze River and pointing its sword at the capital! 】

[You hate King Zhu Zhu of Wu so much. If it weren’t for this person, you would never have been completely defeated. If I had known this, you should have been the first to kill King Wu when the vassal state was cut off! 】

[But there is no regret medicine in the world. You know that you are already over. 】

[You sent Princess Qingcheng to negotiate with King Zhu Di of Yan, trying to cede territory for peace. This is your last conspiracy. As long as you can hold back King Yan and delay the situation, you are the emperor established by Taizu after all. You still have a chance to make a comeback! 】

[King Yan agreed to your proposal and sent Wu King Zhu Ju to negotiate with Princess Qingcheng. 】

[However, the result of the negotiation left you silent. 】

[Princess Qingcheng, who represents the imperial court, was given some ecstasy by Wu King Zhu Ju, and she surrendered to Master Yan! 】

[You collapsed. This was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back. What little dignity you had left was gone because of King Wu Zhu Ju! 】

[In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, King Yan began to attack the capital. King Zhu Su and Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate and surrendered, and Nanjing fell. 】

[You personally lit a fire to burn the palace, disguised yourself as a monk and fled the capital. Since then, you have been reduced from Emperor Jianwen to a bereaved wild dog. 】

[On June 17, the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di paid a visit to Xiaoling, and then ascended the throne as emperor in Fengtian Hall, Nanjing. On the first day of the seventh lunar month, a memorial was made to heaven and earth, announcing that the Jianwen year would be abolished and changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and the following year to the first year of Yongle. 】

[After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he massacred Jianwen's old officials and rewarded the heroes and vassal kings who followed him in Jingnan. 】

[As a vassal king, Zhu Di successfully rebelled. In order to prevent other vassal kings from following his example, he prepared to start cutting down the vassal vassal. 】

[However, Wu King Zhu Xi was the first to stand up and was willing to hand over all military power, which gave the new vassal kings a good start. Upon seeing this, the other vassal kings also willingly handed over their military power. 】

[The tragedy of the Jianwen Dynasty has proved that fighting at this time is the most correct choice. Although he no longer has military power, he is still a vassal king, and there will always be good days. 】

[Perhaps it was to reward Wu King Zhu Xi who was the first to contribute in the Battle of Jingnan, or to reward him for cooperating with the reduction of the vassal, or because Zhu Di took care of his brother, who had an irreconcilable relationship, and had just succeeded to the throne. The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di appointed King Wu Zhu Ji as Zuo Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. Not only did he allow the crown prince of King Wu to inherit the throne in the future, but his second son would also be named King of Zhou and granted the land of Kaifeng. 】

[In the second year of Yongle, you fell ill due to depression and fled incognito. 】

[When there was only one breath left, you pointed to the sky and said in a weak voice: "King Wu Zhu Ju, I will kill you!"]

【you are dead. 】

[Simulation ends. ]    Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but applaud: "What a death!"

As for the things Zhu Yunwen did, Lao Zhu would like to slap him twice whenever he mentions them.

As long as they do something right, the hundreds of thousands of troops will not be defeated by King Yan's 800 troops.

It’s so outrageous!
  The performance of the fourth king of Yan, Zhu Di, and the fifth king of Wu, Zhu Xi, in this simulation surprised Lao Zhu.

He knew that Zhu Di was good at fighting, but he never thought that this kid could be so good at fighting. I originally thought he was a general Miaozi, but who would have thought that this kid is not going to be a general at all, he is a handsome man, no, he is the emperor!

It is true that Zhu Di was able to win the Battle of Jingnan mostly because his opponent was stupid enough. Zhu Yunwen pushed all his allies to the opposite side. But to win this battle, Zhu Di's own superb military attainments were also indispensable.

The performance of Lao Wu even surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

His expectation for Zhu Di was 90, but Zhu Di's performance in the Battle of Jingnan was 99.

His expectations for Zhu Rui were -100, but Zhu Rui's performance in the Battle of Jingnan was 90.

It's not because Zhu Rui's own upper limit is 90, but because that's where his upper limit is.

After all, the protagonists of the Battle of Jingnan were Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen and King Yan Zhu Di, while King Wu Zhu Ji was just a supporting role.

Although he is only a supporting character, his dazzling operation even steals the spotlight from the protagonist.

He played Emperor Jianwen in the palm of his hand, with a clear stance and delicate methods, as if everything was in his calculations. He played Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen from beginning to end, helping King Yan Zhu Di win the battle of Jingnan easily.

"We underestimate this boy too much."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "The city of Lao Wu is really unfathomable. It has been able to disguise itself under our noses for so many years. If it weren't for this simulator, I'm afraid we would have continued to be deceived by him."

He had no doubt about it.

After all, in the simulated history, Emperor Hongwu failed to see the true face of Wu King Zhu Ru until his death.

If the situation did not require it, if it had been King Zhu Di of Yan who had been the emperor from the beginning, he might have been able to pretend for the rest of his life.

Just looking at this clumsiness and patience, King Wu Zhu Ju has surpassed most of the princes.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was reminiscing about this simulation, his personal eunuch Yun Qi came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

"Xuan."

After a moment, Prince Zhu Biao walked into the palace.

He bowed and saluted: "Father, the fifth child has been taken away by Uncle Xu, and he should be on his way to Peiping now."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Well, let Lao Wu get some experience in the military. His talent shouldn't be buried for so many years."

"what?"

Zhu Biao scratched his head, a little confused.

Lao Wu...does it have anything to do with talent?
