King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu
Chapter 248: The old man made the mistake again!
above the hall.
It was quiet.
Everyone was looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Good good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily and knew what Zhu Tan had done.
"Father, I heard that Goryeo is arrogant and reckless. I have been angry for a long time. Now that the warships are ready, I will lead thousands of elite soldiers to destroy Goryeo and try out the warships!"
This is what Zhu Tan left.
"Prince, did I ever say that I would personally inspect this warship?"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly with a calm expression.
But everyone paused for a moment, lowered their heads and moved cautiously.
Normally, Zhu Yuanzhang liked to say "Zhu Biao" and "Zhu Biao" all the time, but when he was angry, he would become like this.
The best thing they can do at this time is to shut up, after all, this matter is none of their business.
Zhu Biao was not afraid in his heart because he knew Zhu Yuanzhang well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not really angry at this time, he just looked like that.
Although Zhu Tan did things on his own and secretly dispatched troops to attack Goryeo, this matter is serious, but it is not serious either.
After all, Zhu Tan was really doing his job, so he naturally understood.
What's more, this is not the first time Zhu Tan has done such a thing.
The so-called rules and regulations are like dog farts in his eyes.
If you violate it once, Zhu Yuanzhang will get angry, but if you violate it eight or ten times, he might get used to it.
Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, then said, "Tenth brother also has good intentions. Gao Li is indeed arrogant and domineering. Tenth brother should teach them a lesson!"
absurd!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily and cast his eyes on the generals.
"Xu Da, can a few thousand elite soldiers defeat a hundred thousand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is possible to defeat the enemy with fewer troops, but the chances of your Highness Prince Lu's success are too low!"
He also understood what Zhu Tan was doing.
"What if the King of Lu died in Goryeo? Tang He!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Tang He.
Tang He was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was going to be attacked.
If it's not good, he will probably be fine, but his daughter will be in trouble.
They saw with their own eyes that Zhu Yuanzhang was protecting his son and felt it deeply.
If anyone else had done the things that Zhu Tan had done before, he would have died countless times. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not take action, how could those ministers remain indifferent?
"Chen is here!"
Tang He replied, not knowing what to say.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lu is blessed with great fortune. Even if he loses this battle, he should be safe and sound!" Tang He spoke with some stammering.
"should?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and looked at the Princess of Lu: "As the principal wife of the Prince of Lu, why didn't you stop such a dangerous thing!"
Tang He hurriedly looked at his daughter, hoping that she could say something nice to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
"Your Majesty, I tried to stop His Highness, but His Highness is talented, brave and resourceful. He told me that this battle will be won and asked me to wait for good news at home!"
Princess Lu said helplessly.
"Waiting for good news!"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered something silently, snorted, turned around and took Zhu Biao into the carriage.
"I will stay here for a while. Lan Yu, you must gather the army as soon as possible, attack Goryeo, and help the King of Lu!"
A voice came from the carriage.
"Yes! I will definitely fulfill your mission!" After saluting, Lan Yu mounted his horse and left.
And all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang He looked at his daughter with helplessness.
He knew his daughter's personality and Zhu Tan's personality. His daughter would not suffer any loss, but it would probably be difficult to make Zhu Tan obedient.
The carriage slowly left, and the ministers followed it.
"Father, the Tenth Master would not act so rashly. He should be very sure of this matter!"
Zhu Biao spoke up. He had realized that Zhu Tan's mischief had made his father worried.
"Guarantee? A few thousand against a hundred thousand? That's guarantee?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out of anger.
"Even if they have cannons, muskets and other powerful weapons, Goryeo has 100,000 people. Even if we just pile them up, we can still kill them. Is that confident?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, feeling that he had let Zhu Tan get too carried away.
Zhu Biao was also a little helpless. Zhu Tan's action was indeed a bit risky.
"We have cannons, muskets, and thousands of elite soldiers. Even if we can't defeat Goryeo, we can still retreat. Father, don't worry too much!"
Zhu Biao comforted.
"If we lose this battle, I will teach this bastard a lesson!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and spoke viciously.
Zhu Biao shrugged lightly, thinking to himself, 'Old Ten, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that you are too good at courting death, I can't help you!'
He even suspected that Lao Shi was drunk when he saw that they dared to attack Goryeo with only a few thousand elite soldiers.
How can there be such a way to play?
On the battlefield, numbers, morale, equipment, tactics, and even luck can all play a role in a victory of having a smaller force over a larger one.
But the idea of going forward to attack is good, but the gap is too obvious.
Seeing that Zhu Biao had great confidence in Zhu Tan, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.
"Zhu Biao, you are not young anymore. Is this kid ready for a long battle? Relying on a surprise attack to defeat an army of 100,000?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Zhu Biao react.
Zhu Tan brought thousands of soldiers and weapons with him, but the supplies needed people to transport, the cannons needed people to transport, and the ammunition needed people to transport.
By this calculation, the thousands of people will be reduced by another thousand.
There really is no chance of winning.
"How many people did this kid bring?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li hurriedly took out the information in his arms and handed it over respectfully.
The above record is that Zhu Tan was at home preparing to go to the Japanese pirates. Although Li Chenggui sent people to ask Zhu Tan for support, Zhu Tan successfully agreed. Later, Goryeo Wang Yu sent people to seek support, and Zhu Tan still agreed...
The time, place, and even the characters' words are all recorded roughly the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood why Zhu Tan wanted to go to Goryeo, and was a little angry and laughed.
Zhu Biao was also reading the content above, and suddenly realized that although Zhu Tan liked to do some fancy things for no reason, he actually had a lot of sense.
"Both sides agree, what is this bastard going to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao. Although he knew why Zhu Tan wanted to go to Goryeo, he couldn't understand why Zhu Tan agreed to both sides.
The two thought about it for a while and found that they really couldn't guess, so they had to look at the Princess Lu who was in charge of the Prince Lu's Mansion.
"I don't know. I just know that when Your Highness heard that it was Wang Yu's people, he suddenly decided not to go and planned to attack Goryeo himself!"
Princess Lu shook her head. She was also curious, but Zhu Tan didn't tell her.
"What chance do these few people have of winning? Even if they do, how can they stabilize the chaos that is coming?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled.
Even if there are thousands of elite soldiers, they can fight one against two, and with the help of muskets, several of them will be killed in a few shots.
A few people will die in long-range battles, and one or two will die in close combat. This one person is equivalent to seven or eight people. With cannons firing, thousands of elite soldiers attacking tens of thousands will definitely win.
But facing an army of 100,000, he did not think Zhu Tan could win.
"Father, I think there is a great chance of winning. Although the Tenth Prince agrees with both sides, he can only choose one side in the end. Although Wang Yu is the King of Goryeo, he is ruthless and has no military force at this time. Otherwise, Lee Seong-gye would not have rebelled. If the Tenth Prince chooses Lee Seong-gye, the chance of winning is very high!"
If we choose Wang Yu, even if the two sides have a huge disparity in military strength, Lao Shi has powerful weapons such as muskets and cannons, and may not be able to defeat them, but he will definitely not lose in defending the city. When the Ming army arrives, the problem will naturally be solved."
Zhu Biao gave a well-reasoned analysis.
Zhu Tan did this most often, probably because he understood that he had thousands of talented people under his command, and he would help whoever had a greater chance of winning.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded.
Indeed, no matter what Zhu Tan chooses, it can not only turn the tide of the battle, but can even be a great achievement.
So they only need to send a large army, and the rest depends on who Zhu Tan wants to support.
The two of them didn't say anything else, but just asked the Jinyiwei here to talk about what Zhu Tan had done a few days ago.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard told the father and son everything that had been recorded.
"This kid is quite capable!"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered softly, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhu Biao stood aside with a slight smile on his face.
He understood what was wrong with his father. It was obvious that after listening to Zhu Tan's story, he was no longer angry, but only worried.
However, Zhu Biao had great confidence in Zhu Tan.
At this moment, inside the courtyard of Prince Lu’s mansion, all the ministers were discussing in low voices.
At this moment, they roughly understood what happened. After all, it was not a secret and many people knew about it.
Many people were happy to see Zhu Tan leading thousands of people on warships to attack Goryeo, especially the civil officials. Several of them had complicated expressions on their faces, with the corners of their mouths constantly moving, as if they were trying their best to control their expressions.
They would rather something happened to Zhu Tan, after all, Zhu Tan made their lives much more difficult than before.
On the military side, many people were worried and discussed in low voices.
Especially Tang He, he knew very well that his daughter was the wife of King Lu. If King Lu died, how could his daughter escape?
Apart from this, he also likes Zhu Tan and approves of this virtuous son-in-law.
No matter how great Zhu Tan's contributions were, or how great his deterrent power was, as long as it did not involve too many troops, even if he had enormous power, as long as he was good to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would not take any action against Zhu Tan, let alone find a reason to take Zhu Tan with him before his death.
It is even possible that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Biao took over the position. Zhu Biao was about fifteen years older than Zhu Tan. If Zhu Biao was also gone, Zhu Tan would definitely be the one to preside over the overall situation.
Tang He now realized that it was useless to think so far ahead. As a military general, he was well aware of the gap between a few thousand people and a hundred thousand people.
Even if there are weapons such as cannons and muskets.
Defending the city might be possible, after all, these weapons are very powerful, and as long as there are enough food and other things, the city can be defended for a long time, and even victory can be achieved.
But now Zhu Tan is going to attack Goryeo, take the initiative to attack, and still take the water route, so there is no place to provide logistical supplies.
Such a chance of victory was difficult to achieve in the eyes of an experienced general like him, let alone others.
"This is really a reckless move!"
Feng Sheng sighed and shook his head, his eyes full of regret.
"However, fortunately, the King of Lu has left some room for maneuver. As long as we notice something is wrong and evacuate in time and leave by ship, Gaoli will not be able to pursue us. In addition, Lan Yu has already led an army of 100,000 to the expedition, so it is not too late!"
Xu Da analyzed.
This is also their biggest possibility at the moment, and they also believe that Zhu Tan will do so.
When they attacked the Yuan Dynasty before, Zhu Tan's wisdom and psychological quality were very good. They all saw it and guessed that Zhu Tan might have lacked experience, which led to misjudgment, so he should not be impulsive.
After all, the person who was most crazy about military achievements was Lan Yu. If it were someone else, what Zhu Tan did would have been enough to be awarded the title of Duke long ago. Zhu Tan did not lack any achievements at all.
Tang He also knew that he could not remember this matter, so he had to suppress his worry.
However, they did not know that before Zhu Tan set out, Lee Seong-gye and Wang Yu both sent people to seek Zhu Tan's help.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son in the room were not so worried at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about Zhu Tan. He was completely worried that Zhu Tan would not do a good job and that things would fail. He was a little angry because Zhu Tan did this without even discussing it with him.
"Forget it. As fathers, we can't be stingy. Let's just forget about it this time. When this kid comes back, we can just punish him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, spoke slowly, and walked into the yard.
All the ministers who were still waiting stopped talking and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Most likely he will be fined again!"
Zhu Biao muttered softly and stepped forward to follow.
"What are you doing here? Do you want us to feed you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked around at his ministers.
"Your Majesty, we are all very worried about His Royal Highness Prince Lu's affairs!"
Tang He was the first to speak and couldn't help but speak.
He didn't know whether other people's worries were true or not, but he was really worried about Zhu Tan's life or death.
"Tang He, why are you worried? I, as your father, am not worried, so why are you worried?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He's anxious face and wanted to tease him.
Tang He hurriedly explained: "I am also the uncle of His Royal Highness Prince Lu. Now that this has happened, how can I not be anxious!"
"This kid acted on his own and drove away the warships, forcing me to wait for him. Not only that, he also trained soldiers privately. These thousands of elite soldiers eat the emperor's food, but they listen to him, Zhu Tan. Now that I am here, he is worried that this matter will be discovered, so he deliberately found an excuse to take his people away, hoping that I will agree to accommodate these people!"
Zhu Yuanzhang almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Tang He's face change drastically and many ministers' faces full of disbelief.
But his face remained calm, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he couldn't tell if he had much emotion.
All the ministers felt incredible at this moment, even Li Shanchang wondered if Zhu Tan was crazy.
When I first heard that Zhu Tan acted on his own, I guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was blaming Zhu Tan, but it was just a complaint at most.
The emperor before him favors Zhu Tan the most besides Zhu Biao.
Unexpectedly, the tone of the painting changed so suddenly that it almost directly said that Zhu Tan was planning a rebellion.
All the ministers looked at Zhu Tan in shock at this moment, because they had never thought that Zhu Tan would rebel.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's face was calm and nothing could be seen. They could not see anything for a moment and could only look at Zhu Biao.
After all, Zhu Biao must know whether this matter is true or false.
However, Zhu Biao had his back to them, and no one knew what expression he had, except that his body was trembling slightly.
The guards had strange expressions on their faces, even Jiang Li had a weird look on his face.
This made them even more confused.
Does Prince Lu really want to rebel?
At this moment, they really wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang whether this was true or false!
Zhu Biao and the ministers who were following behind were trying to hold back their laughter. He thought Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to complain and save face, but he didn't expect the situation to change like this.
However, when he looked at Tang He's expression, he suddenly realized that he was teasing Tang He.
The last time Zhu Yuanzhang teased someone like this was before his mother died, so he turned around and helped his father. (End of this chapter)
