Chapter 157: The imperial family is the most ruthless!

"Khan, the more powerful Zhu Yunhuan is, the better it will be for us," said Mahamu.

Ben Ya Shi Li was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Mahamu with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"

How could having an opponent more powerful than Zhu Di be considered a good thing for the Northern Yuan Dynasty?
"Khan, do you think Zhu Yunhuan can be a match for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty?" Mahamu did not directly answer Bayanchur, but asked a question in return.

Ben Yashili shook his head and said, "Impossible!"

Although Zhu Di was defeated by Zhu Yunhuan, Zhu Yunhuan could never be a match for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Zhu Yunhuan can't be a match for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. Then, the stronger his ability is, the greater the losses the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will suffer, right?" Mahamu said with a smile.

Ben Yashili's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Prime Minister, what you said makes sense. Hahahaha, from this perspective, the current civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty is really God's help to us Northern Yuan. We didn't do anything, and the Ming Dynasty actually collapsed on its own."

"I never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of the princes would lead to the current situation. I wonder what he would think if he knew."

"Haha, this is an opportunity God has bestowed upon us, the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The Central Plains should be ruled by us."

"It's good that it's in chaos. If the Ming Dynasty wasn't in chaos, we wouldn't have a chance. This time, we must make a concerted effort to take back everything we lost. As for the Ming Dynasty, let them disappear."

"There's an old saying in the Central Plains: 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.' Now, are we the fishermen? We can sit back and watch Zhu Yunhuan and the Ming princes fight to the point of bloodshed. In the end, we will clean up the battlefield and destroy the Ming Dynasty."

"."

After the Northern Yuan generals understood the current situation, they all smiled.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been like a towering mountain, pressing down on the Northern Yuan Dynasty, making it very difficult for them to breathe.

I thought this kind of time would last for a very long time.

What they never expected was that just when they were in despair, civil strife suddenly broke out within the Ming Dynasty.

The situation suddenly reversed.

Not only could they breathe a sigh of relief, they even had the opportunity to head south again.

Of course, it would be very difficult to go back south and occupy the Central Plains, but at least they now really see hope.

Not only do you not have to passively take a beating, you can even try to attack.

God bless Bei Yuan!

"I hope Zhu Yunhuan can be more powerful and consume the power of the Ming Dynasty princes as much as possible." Aluta couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Among the crowd, he was definitely the happiest one.

Going back south and restoring the glory of the Yuan Dynasty was a scene he had always dreamed of seeing, and now it was actually possible for it to come true.

"Even Zhu Di has been captured, this Zhu Yunhuan must be no simple person." Mahamu said.

Ben Ya Shi Li took a deep breath, looked up at Beiping in the distance, and said, "Pass the order down, speed up the advance, and strive to capture Beiping as soon as possible to gain strategic depth!"

"Yes, Khan!" The guard nodded, turned around and ran away.

"Boom!"

The Northern Yuan army began to speed up, looking excited, and charged towards Peking.

Peking!

Zhu Gaochi sent out scouts early on to monitor the Northern Yuan Dynasty's every move.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi immediately caught the news that the Northern Yuan army was heading towards Beiping.

"Okay, that's it!" A gleam of light flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

Peking is now on the defensive.

The Northern Yuan army came to attack Peking, which was the scene he wanted to see most.

Zhu Quan's joining filled the biggest gap in Peking.

If we attack from outside the city, Peking may not be able to do it, but if it comes to pure defense, Peking is now very difficult to deal with.

"Go and call Uncle Seventeen, Mr. Yuan, General Qiu and others over." Zhu Gaochi calmed himself down and said to the guards beside him.

"Yes, Prince!" The guard nodded and trotted away.

"The first step of the strategic plan went smoothly. Next it depends on how long we can delay the Northern Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Gaochi said softly.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty was not a fool either.

If Peking is very difficult to take, they may make a strategic shift, and Liaodong will also suffer.

But these things are not something he can control.

We can't let him give up Peking just to resolve the Liaodong crisis, right?

Shaking his head, Zhu Gaochi looked towards Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Yunhuan has already sent troops, and when they arrive in Peking will be crucial.

"Gao Chi!"

"Sir!"

Zhu Quan, Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others came over and greeted Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

"Gao Chi, is the Northern Yuan Dynasty attacking us?" Zhu Quan found a seat and sat down, then asked Zhu Gaochi.

"Well, the Northern Yuan Dynasty is rushing towards Beiping. Uncle Seventeen, it's up to you now." Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Quan with a serious expression.

Make bricks without straw.

Although he is very capable, due to physical reasons, he really cannot lead troops in battle.

There's no problem in letting him come up with ideas.

However, when he was asked to lead the troops to defend the city and fight against the Northern Yuan army, he himself was not confident that he could bring out the combat effectiveness of the Beiping army.

The battlefield values ​​the strong.

Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of miracles on the battlefield.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that every miracle is absolutely inseparable from the bravery of the generals.

Zhu Gaochi knew clearly that his physical condition meant that he could basically say goodbye to bravery in this life.

A general is the courage of his soldiers.

As a leading general, Zhu Gaochi might be able to hold his own, but he really couldn't be a general fighting against the enemy.

"Don't worry, I've already checked the military situation in Peking. It won't be a problem to hold on."

Zhu Quan's face was full of confidence.

Peking has abundant troops and supplies, so it is not difficult to defend it.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and said, "Seventeenth Uncle, if possible, it would be best not to resist so forcefully, so that the Northern Yuan Dynasty will feel that they can take down Beiping with just a little effort."

"Ah?" Zhu Quan was stunned when he heard this, his face full of surprise.

His eyes were full of confusion, and he asked, "Gao Chi, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand."

"Is the prince buying time for His Majesty?" Yuan Gong's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi nodded, a wry smile on his face, and said, "Under the current circumstances, we in Beiping simply cannot leave the city to fight. Therefore, the best option is to keep the Northern Yuan in Beiping."

"Wait, Gao Chi, don't talk so roundaboutly. I don't quite understand what you are saying." Zhu Quan called out to Zhu Gao Chi and spoke.

Yuan Gong took a deep breath and said, "Prince, let me tell Prince Ning."

"Okay!" Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Yuan Gong looked at Zhu Quan and said, "Your Highness, the matter is actually very simple. We in Beiping currently have no cavalry. This means that if the Northern Yuan Dynasty shifts its target, we can only watch Liaodong suffer."

Zhu Quan suddenly understood and said, "I understand. Gao Chi, you want to keep the Northern Yuan Dynasty in suspense and make them set their sights on Beiping, thus preventing Liaodong from being taken advantage of."

"That's right!" Zhu Gaochi nodded. Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Gaochi with an extremely strange look in his eyes.

Zhu Gaochi noticed what was in front of Zhu Quan and was puzzled. He asked, "Uncle Seventeen, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhu Quan took a long breath and said, "Gao Chi, you really are worthy of being Fourth Brother's son. You are so insidious!"

He thought of the experience of being kidnapped and taken to Peking by Zhu Di because of his carelessness.

Now Zhu Gaochi showed weakness to the enemy and kept the Northern Yuan Dynasty hanging in Peking. Although the situation was slightly different, the process was roughly the same!

It is true that like father, like son!
"Uh, cough, Uncle Seventeen, I'm doing this to prevent the people of Liaodong from suffering. How could you think of me like this?" Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed.

Zhu Quan didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Let's do it when the time comes. However, I don't think it will last too long. After all, the Northern Yuan Dynasty isn't stupid. They might not be able to figure it out in a day or two, but they'll definitely be unable to hide it after a while."

"If we can delay it for one day, we will delay it for one day. There is nothing we can do if we really can't delay it. We have tried our best." Zhu Gaochi said.

"Okay, is there anything else? If not, I will go and make some arrangements first, and then give those Northern Yuan villains a surprise." Zhu Quan stood up.

"That's all. Uncle Seventeen, go and get busy." Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Quan took a deep breath and walked away.

"Prince, is there still no news from Yingtian Prefecture?" Yuan Gong asked.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "No, but His Majesty will definitely speed up and rush to Beiping. After all, he also knows the current situation in Liaodong."

"I hope Your Majesty can catch up and teach these Northern Yuan villains a lesson." Qiu Fu said.

"I really want to see the combat effectiveness of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under your majesty's command, and see if they are as terrifying as the legend says." Yuan Gong's face was full of anticipation.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "You will see, and you will definitely not be disappointed. After all, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have a solid record of battle. Besides, if they were not strong, why would Your Majesty have the idea of ​​sweeping across Mobei?"

"I really look forward to seeing Your Majesty leading the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to roam the grasslands. Just thinking about that scene is exciting." Yuan Gong said.

Although he was a civil official, he had a passionate heart.

Plow the fields and dig holes, conquer the grassland.

Since the Tang Dynasty, no one has been able to achieve such a scene. If Zhu Yunhuan could do it, he would once again create the peak of Central Plains civilization.

Even the Ming Dynasty might surpass the Tang Dynasty. After all, Zhu Yunhuan was too young!
Youth represents infinite possibilities.

Ying Tianfu!
Huangjue Temple.

Zhu Yunwen sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue with a calm expression.

Although he was in the temple, he had heard countless stories about Zhu Yunhuan during this period.

Abolish preferential treatment for gentry.

Establish a cabinet system similar to that of a prime minister.

Carry out trade reforms.

Increase officials' salaries.

When the Northern Yuan Dynasty invaded, he led the army in person.

Every time he heard something, ripples appeared in his heart.

Every time, he would put himself into the situation and think about it.

The end result is quite clear.

If it were him, he wouldn't do those things.

However, he was very happy that Zhu Yunhuan did those things.

He had resentment towards Zhu Yunhuan, who had taken away his throne.

So, when he heard what Zhu Yunhuan had done, his first reaction was joy. In his eyes, everything Zhu Yunhuan did was courting death.

You often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet.

He thought he had a relatively good understanding of the officials in the court.

Zhu Yunhuan will one day play with fire and get burned.

He waited and waited, waiting for something to happen to Zhu Yunhuan.

One day passed, two days passed!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

Things turned out differently from what he had imagined. The court was extremely quiet, and there was no ripple in Yingtian Prefecture. Zhu Yunhuan was like a towering mountain, suppressing the court, Yingtian Prefecture, and even the entire world.

Zhu Yunwen was a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know what went wrong.

"Buddha, am I really not suitable to be the emperor?" Zhu Yunwen's heart was full of bitterness.

He doesn't understand.

When he was emperor, he was so tolerant to his court officials, but when he did certain things, he would be severely criticized by his court officials, and some court officials would jump out to stop him.

As a result, when it came to Zhu Yunhuan, as a rebel, it seemed that he had been recognized by everyone. No matter what he wanted to do, everything went smoothly. No one stopped him, and no one dared to protest against him.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Li came to Zhu Yunwen quietly, his eyes extremely complicated.

He has served under Zhu Yuanzhang, under Zhu Yunwen, and now under Zhu Yunhuan.

To sum up, among the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen was the most comfortable under his command.

However, he had to admit that Zhu Yunwen was the most useless of the three and had absolutely no dignity of an emperor.

"Swish!" Zhu Yunwen was startled and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

The voice coming from behind was very familiar. It was Jiang Li, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and a minion of the Ming Emperor.

Once, this person was loyal to him, but now this person is loyal to Zhu Yunhuan.

He didn't know how Jiang Li found him, but he knew very well that if his identity was exposed, there would be only one outcome, and that was death.

His body froze and he didn't dare look back at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at Zhu Yunwen in front of him, sighed deeply in his heart, stepped forward, placed a letter next to Zhu Yunwen, and then walked away.

"Has the person left?" Zhu Yunwen was confused and worried as he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away.

He didn't move, worried that if he turned around he would see Jiang Li's half-smile.

He knew very well that his head was definitely a very good token of his allegiance.

Time passes minute by minute.

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Zhu Yunwen felt a little numb all over and hesitated for a moment. He mustered up the courage to turn around.

There was no one behind.

"The person is gone," Zhu Yunwen said with a melancholy look.

The next second, sadness came from my heart.

The dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in such an embarrassing situation at this moment.

Suddenly, he found a letter beside him.

It seemed that Jiang Li had just placed it next to him.
