King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43: Self-justification (please invest, please read, please collect!)
  Hidden secrets?

There must be something hidden!

Otherwise, he would not be so sure.

Because Zhu Gaoxi knows it better than anyone else.

The Timurid Empire indeed prepared an army of 200,000 on November 27, the second year of Yongle, and marched towards the Ming Dynasty in an attempt to invade and conquer the Ming Dynasty.

However, Timur was already sixty-nine years old.

Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.

After so many years of fighting in all directions, he has suffered countless injuries and suffered many hidden diseases.

His physical condition was no longer enough to support his ambitions, let alone the bumps during the march.

Maybe this is the reason why Timur in history gathered so many troops, but in the end he died on the march before reaching the border of Ming Dynasty!

There would be no problem in annihilating all the soldiers of the Timurid Empire who dared to invade the Ming border this time.

For Zhu Gaochi and Daming, there was no threat at all.

This is simply a proper and extremely brilliant military exploit.

And he knew that Tamerlane would die during the march.

There was no hidden illness left.

Just wait for Timur's death and the 200,000-strong army is leaderless.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaochi is different. Although his body is weak, he is better than his youth, but he has just entered middle age.

It's just that there are some symptoms of obesity and long-term lack of physical exercise, which makes you weak.

It is precisely because of this situation.

It's so easy to gain military exploits and records, and it's something that can leave a name in history.

The original intention was not to harm Zhu Gaochi at all.

He led the Ming soldiers to suddenly attack.

Moreover, during the battle of Jingnan, he had not been on any battlefield, so he could not lead troops to fight or take the lead.

The whole person's energy and energy have also improved countless times.

There is no way, life is important.

Although he never asked Zhu Gaochi specifically about the effect, he was not blind and could clearly feel that the prince's body was much thinner than before.

And because some time ago, in order to prevent the prince from dying so early, Zhu Gaoxu specially taught him some common physical fitness tips.

To put it more bluntly, as long as you operate it properly, calculate the time well, and ambush Timur on the path of attack in advance.

How could Zhu Gaoxu be willing to give up to Zhu Gaochi?
  Why.
  The positions we are in are different. Sometimes, even if we know it is a good thing, we have to choose to let it go.

If he were not a prince, Zhu Gaoxu would already have enough military exploits and his prestige in the army would be great enough.

He then proposed to let Zhu Gaochi lead the army.

But to give him military exploits.

Just where he is now.

There was already a lot of suspicion about him in the court.

Anyone with any brains would not be able to harm the prince.

What a tough guy!
  Too long to live!

Zhu Di was originally in an incorrect position and was afraid of fighting with his colleagues.

If he really harmed the prince and caused him to have an accident, I'm afraid not everyone would have to blame him.

Not to mention that his cheap eldest nephew will take over and avenge his father.

It’s not certain whether he can wait until that time!

As far as Zhu Di's character is concerned, only if he can make him feel better is there a ghost.

It’s a matter of doubt whether I can save my life!

"call"

Zhu Gaoxu exhaled a long breath, shook his head and discarded his slightly messy thoughts.

At the same time, he began to think about countermeasures in his mind, how to deal with Zhu Di's questions reasonably.

There is no way, there are some things, even if he knows the later development and understands some details.

But there are some things that I don’t dare to say without any scruples to others.

Let’s not talk about whether others believe it or not. Even if others believe it, he will not be able to explain it later.

It's so outrageous, so unbelievable.

With the suspicious character of Zhu Di and their entire family, who knows what they will think of him in the future.

Maybe something will happen again then! !
  "father!"

"The Timurid Empire is thousands of miles away from our Ming frontier."

"With an army of two hundred thousand marching thousands of miles, and not within our own country, logistical supplies are a huge problem."

"Taking a step back, even if there are no problems with their logistical supplies, they are already a tired army after traveling such a long distance and marching long distances to our Ming border."

"Now again, we know in advance that they are coming to invade the border. As long as we ambush in advance on their only way, we can catch them off guard."

"Even if they are elite and powerful enemies, it is not impossible to annihilate them all."

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu paused, with a trace of memory on his face. After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"The first time Timur paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty was in September of the 20th year of Hongwu. It is said that he was already over 50 years old at that time."

"Now, more than seventeen years have passed since the second year of Yongle."

"It is conservatively estimated that Timur is no less than sixty-five years old or older."

"For so many years, Timur has built such a huge empire. He must have been fighting everywhere. He must have had countless hidden diseases, and he must have become old."

“Thousands of miles away, the roads are rugged and the environment is extremely harsh.”

"Given his age and physical condition, there's no telling whether he can reach our border alive!"

"Under such circumstances, what do we, the Ming Dynasty, have to fear?"

Ok?
  As soon as this statement came out, everyone was startled.

All three fell into silence and began to think.

To be honest, they really haven't thought about this issue seriously.

There is no other reason.

Everyone just received the news from the spies ahead.

I wanted to discuss it at the meeting, but I encountered Zhu Gaoxu who interfered and did not follow the routine.

He directly pushed Zhu Gaochi to the front.

There was an instant confrontation between civil and military forces in the court.

In addition, Timur sent an army of 200,000 troops this time.

Such a big force.

The threat is not small.

Everyone is thinking about deploying troops and generals and determining the head coach for this campaign.

To cope with unexpected events.

There was no time to analyze the situation and consider some of Timur's actual situation.

After a long silence, the three of them finally came back to their senses, and the eyes they looked at Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but change.

In his heart, he had to admire and sigh with emotion, Zhu Gaoxu's keen sense of war.

With just some brief information, the person in front of you can analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the current enemy and ourselves, and give reasonable strategies to deal with the enemy.

If it really develops as Zhu Gaoxu analyzed, they may have mistakenly blamed him for this matter.

But is the second child really so kind?

Does he really have nothing else on his mind?
  Is there no other conspiracy involved?
  After a brief moment of daze, Zhu Di took a few deep breaths, narrowed his eyes, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Second!"

"This is all just your analysis. You and I are aware of the rapid changes on the battlefield."

"The prince is the crown prince of the country."

"Do you think it's okay to take such a risk?"

"If something unexpected happens, the prince will be injured or even... killed."

"Have you thought about the consequences??"

"Or...did you have such a plan?"
