Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 18: Ming Dynasty Mercenaries

"Father."

"My lord."

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Yu and others all looked at Zhu Di with worry on their faces, fearing that something might happen.

Zhu Di waved his hands and said with a smile, "What are you all looking at? Am I really that fragile in your eyes?"

"call"

When everyone heard Zhu Di's words, they felt a little relieved.

I can still joke with them, so it seems the situation is not particularly serious.

Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Highness is certainly not fragile. We all know this very well. However, the current situation is special, and it is natural for everyone to be worried. After all, Your Highness is the backbone of the team, and you cannot afford to have any problems."

"That's right, if you were fragile, Your Majesty, there wouldn't be many strong people in the world."

"Your Majesty, in my heart, you are the strongest person besides His Majesty."

"."

With Yao Guangxiao taking the lead, everyone started talking one after another.

Zhu Di turned and walked towards the house, saying, "Okay, stop standing at the door and come in and talk."

He was sadder than anyone else about Zhu Bo's death. After all, he was his younger brother, and the relationship between them was unimaginable to outsiders.

But he knew that now was no time for him to be sad.

The butcher's knife to cut down the feudal lords was hanging high over his head, and it might fall at any time.

In this situation, if he became decadent, it would be a disaster for everyone in Peking.

"Shhhhh!"

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Yu and others followed Zhu Di into the house.

At this time, their minds relaxed, and some smart people even began to think about whether they could use Zhu Bo's death to start a rebellion.

Zhu Bo's death was so tragic.

Many princes could not help but feel grief for their own loss.

Today's Zhu Bo may be them in the future.

At this time, if Zhu Di stood up and raised his arms,
Of course, this carries significant risks.

If no one responds, Zhu Di will be in danger. In that situation, Zhu Yunwen will definitely take action.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Your Highness, there's news from Prince Ning."

Outside the door, Yuan Gong's hurried voice came, gasping for breath.

Not long ago, he received orders from Zhu Di to go to Daning to lobby Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

Now that the results are out, he immediately rushed back to report to Zhu Di.

"Shh!"

When everyone in the room heard Yuan Gong's words, their bodies shook at the same time.

Prince Ning Zhu Quan's fiefdom was in Daning, which was adjacent to Zhu Di's fiefdom of Beiping. Of course, this was not the point. The point was that the soldiers under Prince Ning were very capable, especially the three guards of Doyan, who were the elite among the elite.

Zhu Quan was very powerful, but Zhu Di was not afraid of him and was even confident that he could defeat Zhu Quan.

But the problem now is that Zhu Di’s opponent is not Zhu Quan, but Zhu Yunwen.

An emperor.

A vassal king.

In terms of military power, Zhu Di was far inferior to Zhu Yunwen.

In this situation, if we continue to waste limited military forces on Zhu Quan, it would be better to give up the idea of ​​raising an army as soon as possible.

Therefore, whether or not he could deal with Zhu Quan was very important to Zhu Di.

Before going on a diplomatic mission to Daning, Zhu Di had a conversation with Yuan Gong about getting Zhu Quan's help at all costs. It would be best if they could send troops directly, but if that was not possible, they would also want Zhu Quan to remain neutral and not help either side.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

He was a little nervous because he didn't know what Zhu Quan would choose, but Zhu Quan's attitude was crucial.

"Squeak!" Yuan Gong pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Master Yuan, thank you for your hard work!"

"Tingyu, thank you for your hard work!"

"."

Everyone smiled and greeted Yuan Gong.

"This..." Yuan Gong's expression froze, and he was a little confused. It took him a while to calm down. He asked in confusion: "Why is everyone here? Did something happen?"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Tingyu, first tell me the result of your trip to Daning. What is your Seventeenth Brother's attitude?"

Yuan Gong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I have not met Prince Ning. However, I have met Prince Ning's son, and he implicitly told me that Prince Ning would not help either side."

"It's okay if we don't help each other!"

"What is Prince Ning thinking? At this time, it is not a wise choice to not help either side."

"."

Everyone secretly thought.

Zhu Di snorted lightly and said, "I haven't seen this Old Seventeen for a few years. I didn't expect him to become so cunning."

Although his tone was dissatisfied, he could barely accept this result. At least he didn't have to worry about the threat from behind.

Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Highness, we can accept Prince Ning not helping either of us. However, these empty promises are without any proof. What if Prince Ning changes his mind later?"

Rebellion is no small matter, and one must be fully prepared.

Even though Zhu Quan has agreed not to help either side now, if Zhu Di is defeated by Zhu Yunwen later, or the war situation becomes unfavorable, Zhu Quan is likely to change his attitude and send troops directly against Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Father, Mr. Yao is right. We must get Uncle Seventeen to show some sincerity. Otherwise, it will be very unsafe."

Zhu Di frowned, feeling irritated. He said, "I know that Seventeenth Brother's verbal promise is without any guarantee. But the problem is that we don't have the initiative in our hands now. What if we push Seventeenth Brother too far and he turns directly to Zhu Yunwen?"

Everyone was silent, not knowing how to answer this question.

Yuan Gong said, "Your Majesty, during this trip to Daning, I also came into contact with the Three Guards of Doyan and met their leader, Tuoerhuocha."

Originally, he wanted to hide it and give Zhu Di a surprise, but seeing the current situation, he simply said it out loud.

"The Three Guards of Duoyan?"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked up at Yuan Gong with anticipation in their eyes.

If the three guards of Doyan could join Zhu Di's army, the threat posed by Zhu Quan would be greatly reduced.

Zhu Di looked at Yuan Gong with bright eyes: "Tingyu, could it be that you have persuaded the three guards of Doyan?"

The Three Guards of Doyan were the most elite troops under Zhu Quan. If they could be used by him, then even if Zhu Quan did not join his rebellion, it would not be a big deal.

Yuan Gong nodded, then shook his head.

"What does it mean?"

"Were you convinced or not?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, looking at each other.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Tingyu, don't keep me in suspense at this time. Just tell me now."

"Haha!" Yuan Gong smiled and said, "Your Highness, Tuo'er Huocha said that the Three Guards of Doyan can help us, but we need to pay."

"Pay?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that although the Three Guards of Doyan were soldiers under Zhu Quan, they were also mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty.

　Dear readers, allow me to say a few words.
