Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Chapter 278

Chen Qingzhi came over from the side and looked at him with a look of hesitating to speak. Zhu Gaoyu fiddled with the fire in front of him.

"what do you want to say."

It was Zhu Gaoyu who spoke first, and Chen Qingzhi looked at the two people who were still whispering beside him with fear, "His Royal Highness - what are the arrangements for King Han and King Zhao?"

"How else can they be arranged? What are their previous positions in the army, and what they are still doing now."

Chen Qingyi couldn't help but feel anxious, "But!"

He lowered his voice, moved to Zhu Gaoyu's side and said, "The two princes were at odds with His Royal Highness before, and sending troops to reinforce Gao Li was also a task assigned by the emperor to them. Although it is said that the prince saved them from water and fire, I am afraid that they will have a problem. Alien."

Now that the crisis between Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu has been lifted, these two are not usually peaceful masters. Now that Zhu Gaoyu's arrival has not only divided the military power, but also lost most of the power in their hands.

What's more, the soldiers who were originally inclined towards them are very likely to turn their heads to support Zhu Gaoyu, and it is impossible to do something under the hatred of jealousy, not to mention that they were originally ambitious.

"It seems to be calm now. If King Zhao of Han and the others want to compete for the first prize, I'm sure they will come up with some wicked way."

It's no wonder that Chen Qingzhi was worried, after all, Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu were not easy people to get along with. He glanced at the two people who were still talking beside him, and they all looked like they were brewing conspiracies.

If Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu knew what he was thinking, they would definitely cry out for injustice. After all, they were just a little bit of a crisis, and they were discussing countermeasures. If they really wanted them to start, they weren't too mad.

"Your worries are not unreasonable." Zhu Gaoyu paused, "However, as far as I know, although King Han is very happy, he still knows what is important and what is less important. Although King Zhao is cunning and ruthless, he can distinguish right from wrong." "

"Now that the enemy is at the moment, we should be united to the outside world."

Zhu Gaoyu didn't have confidence in King Han and King Zhao, but he had confidence in himself. Even if there were any unexpected emergencies, he was confident that he could solve them all.

"Although that is said, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and we should be careful."

In Zhu Gaoyu's view, Chen Qingzhi was completely unfounded, but his starting point was for his own good, so he didn't say anything, just said lightly, "I know what I know."

He picked up the cut branches and made gestures on the ground. A sketch of the terrain gradually took shape, which attracted the attention of Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu. The two were fascinated and surrounded them unconsciously.

"We are here now."

Zhu Gaoyu pointed at a certain point on the ground, "The closest to us is Pingcheng in the Kingdom of Gaoli." He slid eastward and landed on a small flag accurately, showing his familiarity with the nearby city.

You must know that although Zhu Gaoyu was on the road all night, he was hardly idle on the road. He knew about the distribution of Gaoli Kingdom's cities and the various military conditions, and he could recite it with his eyes closed.

"Pingcheng is not big or small, but as a checkpoint of Korea to the outside world, it is densely populated, prosperous in business and trade, and has developed extremely rapidly. In just a few years, it has changed from a small border town to what it is today."

Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu didn't care at first, but at this time they put away their contempt, and lamented that Zhu Gaoyu had obtained all the information, even they didn't know about it.

"And Pingcheng also has a great geographical advantage. There are natural dangers here, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Dongying sent troops to attack here at the first time, it did not send too many people to garrison. The rest are responsible for the transportation of food and grass from Pingcheng. rear needs."

This has to say about the shamelessness of the Eastern Ying people, not to mention the occupation of other people's cities, there are other people's food and grass to continue to supply them, in order to speed up the pace of expansion and occupation.

At the same time, it is enough to see their superb means.

Zhu Gaojiu slapped his head sharply, "No wonder these little Japanese pirates want to attack here first! This is the idea that dares to fight."

Dongying has come from a long way to cross the ocean. In addition to the necessary military supplies, they must not be able to bring enough food and grass, so where does the food and grass come from?

Naturally, it was supplied from the cities they attacked. As the first group to fall, Pingcheng, although it covers a small area, as a former commercial city, the food, grass and materials in it can be imagined.

Zhu Gaojiu added: "And they have a geographical advantage, they don't need to send heavy troops to guard, they can dispatch the army to transport food and grass, supply the soldiers in front, and speed up their attack on other cities, so it is no wonder that the Koryo country lost half of its walls. On the river."

If the ruler of Goryeo knew that the Dongying people used their things and beat their people, he still didn't know how angry he would be.

Zhu Gaoyu nodded and said: "...So if we want to hit the Eastern Ying army hard, we must start with their food and grass, and then supply them from the rear. As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king first. I can't jump up."

Even if Zhu Gaojiu was not convinced, he had to say that Zhu Gaoyu's plan was good, at least it was much more secure than their previous plan to catch turtles in the urn.

"It seems that the fourth brother is planning to start with Pingcheng, but didn't you say that Pingcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to break their defense?"

I don't know what means the Dongying people used to attack Pingcheng in a short period of time, but judging from the way they dealt with Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu, it shouldn't be anything aboveboard.

"It's really hard to break through. Their city walls are tall and thick, and there is a moat outside, and there are other sources of water in the city. Ordinary things like throwing arrows and poisoning will definitely not work, so—"

"It can only be attacked."

Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu looked Qi Yi, and thought that he would say something good, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, it turned out to be such a result.

"Strike? No!" Zhu Gaojiu was the first to disagree. "Their city walls are so thick that ordinary firearms can barely leave a mark on them. How can we make a strong attack, but let us do useless work."

"Ordinary firearms are naturally not acceptable." Zhu Gaoyu said meaningfully, "How about an unusual one?"

This time, he not only brought the "Yu" family army, but also all the firearms that were used to fight the Japanese. In addition to the tiger squat gun, there are also various newly developed firearms, which are enough for these Dongying army to drink a pot. . .

Chapter 279

Pingcheng.

A man wearing a samurai uniform with a samurai sword on his waist stood in the city lord's mansion. In front of him was the topographic map of Goryeo. He saw that half of it was marked in red, with a sun sign painted on it. Goryeo invaded the country.

Dongying claims to be the place where the sun rises, and has always believed that the emperor will spread the light all over the place. As messengers and believers of God, they will surely let this supreme existence descend on this land.

For this reason, they also glorified the aggression and put on a good name, just to spread their beliefs and save these people from ignorance.

"In a short time, this place will become our other home, the influence of the emperor will gradually expand, and one day, all countries will surrender under our feet!"

His eyes fell on other areas on the map, flashing the light of inevitable victory.

If Zhu Gaoyu heard these words, he would definitely laugh at him for being outspoken, a small country, a small place, and a big ambition.

"General Fujiwara, Daming's reinforcements have arrived!"

A gloom flashed in Fujiwara's eyes. If there is any huge stumbling block on the road to success, it must be the Ming Dynasty. It will always be a thorn in their hearts, which makes people afraid and afraid.

"This Daming is really abominable. His Excellency the Emperor has already submitted a letter to the Daming Emperor and is willing to be friends forever. They still want to get involved in this matter. I really think that we, Dongying, are afraid that they will fail."

In Fujiwara's words, Dongying's occupation of other countries is completely beautified, but the Ming Dynasty has become an unreasonable existence, relying on its own power to interfere in other countries' affairs at will and interfere in other people's affairs.

"What can we do when we arrive?" Thinking of the strategy offered by the advisor, Fujiwara's haze gradually dissipated, replaced by a schadenfreude smile, disapprovingly.

"How can we arrive? It's faster than I thought, but their Han King Zhao Wang is already in the ambush circle. It will be no accident. He should have become a prisoner, just to catch them and negotiate with the Daming Emperor. "

When the soldier who came to report the news heard this sentence, he immediately buried his head very low, not daring to meet Fujiwara's gaze.

"What is your expression?" Fujiwara frowned, realizing that something was wrong, "Could it be that there are other accidents."

"King Han and the others have been rescued by reinforcements! Except for some of our troops who escaped, the rest were all killed and fell into the hands of the Ming army!"

"What did you say!" Fujiwara grabbed the armchair with such force that the chair was about to fall apart, and he almost squeezed a word out of his teeth.

The man pursed his lips and said it again, not daring to look at the twisted expression on Fujiwara's face.

"boom!"

A teacup smashed over mercilessly, he didn't even dare to hide, bright red blood flowed down his forehead, and the white porcelain was also stained, making it particularly dazzling.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Fujiwara was furious. Originally everything was planned well. After winning King Han and King Zhao, he was frustrated and negotiated with them by the way, but now everything has become a bubble.

"The Ming army lost more than half of it, and I let you encircle and suppress it for a few days, but it was unsuccessful, and it was delayed until the arrival of the Daming reinforcements. What are you all doing to eat?"

Although King Han and King Zhao did lose the first battle and fell into the ambush and encirclement of Dongying by mistake, they also supported it for so long.

If they were other ordinary generals, under such a meticulous and vicious siege of Dongying, I would have been defeated long ago and become prisoners. The King of Han and the others still resisted stubbornly, which proved that their ability should not be underestimated, but after all, it was a very poor move.

If Zhu Gaoyu hadn't arrived in time, the final result might have been as Fujiwara expected, and the two would become Dongying's pawns against Daming.

"Who is the leader of the army this time? He has such a great ability."

Fujiwara knew that it was useless to be angry at this time. He took a deep breath and asked in a calm mood, but there was still a bit of a grim look in his brows and eyes, and he wished that the person who ruined his plan would be smashed to ashes.

"This time, it is Zhu Di's fourth son, Liang Wang Zhu Gaoyu, who is leading the troops to support."

Zhu Di has a total of four sons. The crown prince usually does not show the mountains and dew. The king of Han, the king of Zhao, is the most famous, and the king of Liang is also low-key, but a recent incident made Fujiwara to Zhu Gaoyu like thunder.

"Is that the King Liang who wiped out all the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast?"

Zhu Gaoyu quelled the rebellion of the local chieftains, and led his troops to wipe out all the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.

Although the Japanese pirates were suppressed, there were occasionally a few fish that slipped through the net, or when they saw that the situation was not right before, they deserted and brought the news back to Dongying, so Fujiwara also heard about his deeds.

"Exactly."

Fujiwara didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that those words were exaggerated. In his opinion, Zhu Gaoyu's hair has not grown up yet, so there is no threat. Those deeds may have been done by others. In order to please King Liang and the emperor, Put the credit on him.

"Emperor Daming is not a fool either. King Liang is his youngest son. If there is no real material, I would not dare to let him come here."

At the beginning, he was facing Japanese pirates, not a regular army, but this time he was directly confronting them.

As a famous general of the Eastern Empire, Fujiwara is extremely rich in both combat experience and methods. He has fought countless battles, winning more and losing less. Although he is proud and complacent, he is not blindly arrogant.

"It seems that this King Liang has something."

"Pingcheng's troops are not strong enough to fight. King Han and King Zhao used to have [-] troops. Even if we lose half of them according to our design, and the reinforcements brought by King Liang, there are still [-] to [-] troops. Our troops are hard to match. "

As expected of a ruthless veteran, Fujiwara quickly calmed down, "Why are you panicking, since the other party is aggressive, we must not be able to face the enemy head-on, and now we can only use the dragging trick to delay the time until our army arrives. "

He made a decisive decision and sent soldiers out to ask for help and report.

The closest city in the city is also some distance away from Pingcheng. What Fujiwara has to do now is to try to stumble Zhu Gaoyu's footsteps as much as possible before that.

"Even if King Liang is powerful, what can we do, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, it's not a problem to capture him!" Fujiwara smiled coldly, "In addition to King Zhao of Han, we have three hostages in our hands, and so many sons of Zhu Di are in our hands. What is there to fear in the Ming Dynasty?"

"If Zhu Di doesn't care about the relationship between flesh and blood, then don't blame us for breaking the net and making him a lonely one!".

Chapter 280

In the place where Zhu Gaoyu temporarily camped, several people were discussing combat matters in the tent, and then a soldier came to report to the Dongying envoy to see him.

Chen Qingzhi stood up from his chair, frowned, and said, "What are they doing here at this time? They don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. There shouldn't be any conspiracy."

With the lessons learned by the kings of Han and Zhao, the whole army was extremely vigilant, for fear that they would accidentally fall into Dongying's way.

Zhu Gaojiao's expression was gloomy immediately, and he couldn't sit still. The words wanting revenge were about to be written on his face, he smiled fiercely, "I didn't look for them, they came to the door, just took these few messengers. It's good to come to the sacrificial device!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to rush out, but fortunately he was stopped by Zhu Gaojiu, who was fast-eyed and quick-witted. "Third brother, don't be impulsive! The two armies don't fight without killing. Do you want that Dongying to laugh at us, Daming, and don't fall for the truth."

After he said something, Zhu Gaojiu reluctantly returned to his seat.

Compared to Chen Qingzhi's approaching enemy, Zhu Gaojiu and the others were full of indignation, but Zhu Gaoyu's expression was much calmer, "I want to see what medicine they sell in the gourd and bring them in."
