First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 89

Zhu Biao stood up and said to Chang Yuchun: "Beiyuan has involved too much energy of my Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates in the coastal areas are becoming more and more rampant, and the surrounding small countries have different thoughts. fixed!"

  Chang Yuchun did not expect Zhu Biao to think so far-reachingly, he thought that Zhu Biao was just a young man who wanted to become famous in one battle.

  Zhu Biao’s position is stable, and this battle can be fought steadily, but it is true that the time is not waiting. The situation of the Ming Dynasty is actually very bad. Compared with the previous dynasties, it is like the Han Dynasty. Was there a big enemy in Northeast Asia? No, he has long-term enemies in the northwest and steppe directions.

In the Tang era, Northeast Asia already had a complete and mature local regime, and its force was not weaker than that of the grasslands. A crop of local regimes sprung up in Northeast Asia. The northwest and grasslands were not much better than the Han Dynasty. Emergence of power.

The era of the Han Dynasty did not have as many rivals as the thorny ones of the Tang Dynasty. If the central government, which rose rapidly after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, was powerful and quickly destroyed the surrounding local governments, and did not give the other party the possibility of integration, the latter dynasty would be much better off. The difficulty of the East Asian copy is getting higher and higher every time.

   Now, Daming not only has to deal with enemies from all directions, but also resists pirates and Japanese pirates coming across the sea. Moreover, domestic problems are equally serious, and the Ming Dynasty has never stopped uprisings in history.

   There are all kinds of rebels every few years, probably based on Zhu Yuanzhang's idea that every beggar can succeed, and what is wrong with them.

And it was a coincidence that we encountered the Little Ice Age, which not only appeared in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, freezing three feet was not a one-day cold, in fact, frequent natural disasters began from the Yuan Dynasty, but it was only in the Ming Dynasty The end is the worst time.

  Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, how could Zhu Biao have the heart to stand in a stalemate with Bei Yuan for decades? What is wrong with the manpower and material resources spent in the meantime?

  Zhu Biao looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "I ask Uncle Chang to help me with all my strength in this matter, and I must fight to the end!"

  Chang Yuchun bowed and cupped his fists and said, "No!

  The two had dinner together, and Chang Yuchun led people out to investigate, saying that he wanted to see the nearby terrain.

  The next three days were calm, until one night, a messenger from Beiping City came over, saying that Prime Minister Zuo, the center of the Yuan court, wanted to submit to Ming Dynasty, and was willing to open the south gate at night to lead the army into the city, but he wanted a duke!

Zhu Biao naturally readily agreed. After the two parties reached an agreement, Zhu Biao asked someone to send him out. After he left, the joy on Zhu Biao's face subsided: "Tomorrow night, send a hundred riders to light the fire as agreed. If the door doesn’t open, go straight back to the camp.”

   Nanxionghou from below stood up and said: "General, if this is true, you will lose a good opportunity!"

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Although Bei Yuan is in decline, it has not reached the point of collapse. What's more, even if they really open the south gate, the city is narrow and the number of the two sides is similar. It’s not like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, this business is a big loss.”

  Li Wenzhong also said: "Besides, there are many doubts about this matter. If they lead us in as pockets, and when we enter the city, we can't look at each other from head to tail, and lead cavalry to attack the rear army, flanking the front and back, then our army formation will be chaotic."

  After discussing in the military account for a while, they all decided that this matter was just a temptation. Whether they were fooled or not, the other party had no loss.

  Zhu Biao didn't care about this either. All his thoughts were on Wang Baobao now. Beiping City was not the focus of this battle, so he wouldn't waste his troops attacking a useless city.

  The next night, the south gate of Beiping City was opened, but no one entered.

Another three days later, Zhu Biao received a letter from Nanjing. During this time, he had written more than a dozen military reports and sent them to Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not issue any instructions, as if everything was left to him. .

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth turned up when he opened the letter. The handwriting on it belonged to his own mother. He told Zhu Biao to be careful in everything, not to be reckless and impulsive, and to ask Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen for their opinions. Objections will have to be reconsidered.

  The tone of the letter changed when it got to the end. Although it was still in Queen Ma's handwriting, Zhu Biao seemed to see Lao Zhu talking with his hands behind his back. He read it twice before putting it away.

  Zhu Biao exhaled, feeling a bit sore in his nose inexplicably. It has been more than ten years since he left his father and queen for such a long time.

   "General! General! Finally detected Wang Baobao's movements!"

  Sapphire dragged the guards into the military tent with excitement on his face, Zhu Biao was refreshed when he heard it, and waved his hand to let the guards go down: "Where is he, have you been discovered?"

Lan Yu bowed and replied: "The general wanted to kill a wild boar for the general today, so he ran all the way south for nearly a hundred miles, but saw cooking smoke in a dense forest, the general observed the smoke, and the general was afraid When I met the opponent's scouts, I didn't dare to move forward, and turned back all the way!"

  Zhu Biao showed a smile on his face, the most unstable variable of the other party has been discovered, so the arrangement can be made according to the plan.

   Commanded to Lan Yu: "If you win this battle, you should make your first contribution. Go and invite King Kaiping, Duke Cao, and Uncle Chengyi to come over!"

  Sapphire also looked excited. No one can stop the luck. The other party is extremely cautious, not to mention the dense forest, and the time for the other party to bury the pot is also different from the season in the army.

   After a while, everyone arrived. Lan Yu pointed out Wang Baobao's location on the map, and Liu Bowen stroked his beard and began to think.

Li Wenzhong said: "It's better to take advantage of the unpreparedness and directly surround and set fire to the forest. They can only scurry in panic. When the time comes, surround three and release one. When they escape from the gap, use the general's three-stage attack to cooperate." The artillery ambushed them!"

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "Wang Baobao can be eliminated here, but the Beiping City knows that the plan has leaked, and will definitely abandon Beiping City again and flee back to the grassland. In this way, the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been recovered, but Bei Yuan still retains its strength."

  Liu Bowen thought for a while and said: "Since Wang Baobao has arrived, within a few days, the army in the north of Beiping will lead us to a decisive battle, and then deliberately show weakness, making us think that we can wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, and lead the three armies in front and left to press up."

"When the battle was in full swing, Wang Baobao would lead his cavalry straight to the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, forcing me to turn around to rescue. As a result, the army formation would be in chaos. They would then cut the battlefield with cavalry, so that our artillery would not be able to exert its full potential. This should be their plan.”

Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this. If the plan can be carried out perfectly, he can indeed be defeated. Wang Baobao was originally the general of the army, and the cavalry he personally led was the elite of the elite. Army camp, Zhu Biao beheaded! "
