Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 65 Magical Powers and Spells

"Grandpa Huang, I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"

Zhu Yunwen rushed into Zhu Yuanzhang's palace excitedly and congratulated him repeatedly.

After not seeing him for more than two months, Zhu Yuanzhang looked a bit older. The age spots on his face were visible and he was almost blind. When Zhu Yunwen arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang was immersed in reviewing Zhu Di's memorial, his eyes almost glued to his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen quickly said:

"Grandpa Huang, let me read it for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang responded, and then handed the memorial to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen read the memorial from beginning to end, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything. He just leaned on the throne, looking drowsy.

"Grandpa Huang?"

Zhu Yunwen said tentatively.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat up from his chair. After listening to Zhu Di's heroic deeds, he couldn't help but think of his own prosperous years.

Thinking of Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel distressed. Why did the son he most resembled rebel?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, Zhu Yunwen suddenly said:

"Grandpa Huang, our army has won a complete victory this time. Why don't we recall the army immediately and reward them based on their merits?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed coldly, and his breathing became rapid, but he didn't say anything more and just nodded silently. Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed. Although he noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's abnormality, he had nothing to hide. After all, there was conclusive evidence of Zhu Di's rebellion, so he had no need to hide it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's illness became more and more serious. Zhu Yunwen felt that his throne was already solid and he should assume the dignity that a prince should have.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, an urgent edict covering 800 miles was sent from Yingtian City to Liaodong.

The land of the Central Plains will no longer be peaceful.

Fushun Pass.

In the battle of Fushun Mountain, except for Zhu Neng who led an elite cavalry to pursue Lu Kebo, the entire army marched to Fushun Pass.

Yang Zheng, Zhang Yu, and Zhu Di gathered together, and Zhu Di's army reached 160,000.

The flags are flying, covering the sky and the sun.

When Zhu Di came to Fushun Pass, what he saw made him furious.

Fushun Pass is a pass with not only soldiers but also many people inside.

Zhu Di looked at the corpses on the ground, and Fushun Pass was burned into ruins. Zhu Di suddenly thought of what Bai Chu said, the Jurchens were the biggest obstacle to the Ming people in Liaodong.

Zhu Di has never been like this before, wishing to catch all these Jurchens in one fell swoop and cut them to pieces with a thousand knives.

Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu and others who opposed Zhu Di's arrest of the Jurchens were all gnashing their teeth with anger at this moment.

When Zhu Di arrived in Fushun, he swore loudly:

"I, Zhu Di, swear that if I don't take revenge, I will never return to Peking in my life!"

Zhu Di's oath spread to the ears of the entire Ming army with the breeze.

Among these Ming troops, the most angry were the rebels who had been threatened by Ma Shun.

Their relatives and friends are all in the pass, but now they are separated by life and death. Every one of them can't wait to take a knife and fight to the death with the Jurchens.

In the following days, Zhu Di cleaned up the ruins in Fushun and Guanzhong, and then more than 100,000 people began to rebuild Fushun and the city.

Later, Zhu Di convened a military meeting in his mansion.

When Zhang Yu and others arrived, they saw Bai Chu and Zhu Di. In front of them, there was a huge sand table, with mountains, rivers, jungles and mountains clearly painted on it.

Zhang Yu and others were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them. They all came to the edge of the huge sand table, stretched their necks, and looked at the terrain in front of them. Generals like them were naturally interested in maps.

Just like the map that King Ning took out before, it was like a heavenly book, but Bai Chu couldn't understand it anyway. This time, Bai Chu took out the sandbox and let everyone see what a map is.

"Your Majesty, I have found our location, right here."

Qiu Fu looked at the surrounding terrain, pointed at a mountain and shouted, "What is that? Why haven't I seen it?"

"If the prince could give us such a good thing earlier, why would we suffer such big losses on the battlefield?"

If you think about it carefully, the war at this time was directed by the general alone. Even on the battlefield, it depends on the general's adaptability. Without advisers, the generals can only rely on their own experience.

Of all the generals who charge on the battlefield, which one has not experienced hundreds of battles, experienced hundreds of battles, and made strategic plans?
  It would be much more convenient if there was a counselor who could help him draw the map.

It's a pity that the general is too tired to deal with military affairs every day and has no time to think about the sand table.

After Zhu Di heard Qiu Fu's words, he glared at Qiu Fu angrily and said:

"Mr. Bai did it himself, it has nothing to do with me."

Qiu Fu scratched his head in embarrassment, then cupped his fists at Bai Chu and said:
  "Mr. Bai is wise, I can't wait for Mr. Bai."

While talking, Zhang Yu suddenly said:
  "Mr. Bai, are those red marks the location of the Jurchen tribe?"

It turns out that on this giant map, there are not only mountains but also earth veins.

Seeing that Zhang Yu had figured out the key in the sand table, Bai Chu simply didn't hide it and said:

"According to my investigation over the past two days, these places are the Jurchens' hiding places."

"We only need to follow the route on the map to find them quickly and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Bai Chu said it categorically and looked confident, but Ning Wang Zhu Quan, on the other hand, was confused and said in confusion.

"Mr. Bai, how did you discover the location of those Jurchens?"

"What if we come all the way here and find that they are not here?"

Not to mention Zhu Quan, even Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu were doubtful.

Although Bai Chu has great magical powers, how could Bai Chu have a clear understanding of the situation of the nearby Jurchen tribe in just a few days?
  This is too unreliable.

Bai Chu smiled lightly, how did he know? He naturally relied on magical powers to detect.

When Zhu Di decided to go to war with the Jurchens, he secretly spent 10,000 incense to buy a tracking method.

As long as he uses the tracking method on the other party, he can find the other party within a thousand miles.

That night, Bai Chu used the tracking method on the Jurchen captives, and then acted with Zhu Di to release all the Jurchen prisoners, and waited until everyone returned to their tribes.
