Chapter 48 Zhu Yuanzhang: Fortunately, I didn’t really die

Zhu Yunwen hesitated and said, "I've considered the vassal kings and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but it doesn't make sense. After all, they have tens of thousands of cavalry."

If it were infantry, there would still be some possibility, but if it were cavalry, who could be so generous?
Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said softly, "Alright, don't dwell on this matter. If you can't figure it out, then forget it. The truth will eventually come out."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, thought for a moment and said, "No matter who is behind Zhu Yunhuan and what his plans are, they will all be in vain now. Who could have thought that Zhu Yunhuan would suddenly jump out and rebel?"

After saying this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Only paying one Wang Yue in exchange for resolving a crisis and getting rid of Zhu Yunhuan in a fair and open manner, this deal is simply a great deal.

Mrs. Lu understood what Zhu Yunwen meant and smiled.

In the small courtyard.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat quietly with a frown on his face, wondering where the cavalry under Zhu Yunhuan came from.

But he thought about it for most of the night, and it was almost dawn, but he still had no clue.

He thought about the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the vassal kings one by one and analyzed them carefully, but the final conclusion was that the possibility of these people standing behind Zhu Yunhuan was very low.

"Alas," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, feeling somewhat melancholy.

He was born a beggar and fought his way up to become the emperor. He had seen many storms along the way, but he really couldn't understand the current situation.

"Fortunately, we didn't really die." Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly.

He couldn't imagine what would become of the Ming Dynasty if he really died. Would it be a repeat of the Eight Princes Rebellion or the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion?
At that time, uncles, nephews and brothers will fight to the death on the battlefield.

That was the scene he least wanted to see in his life!

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Li walked over and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and waved his hand, "Did Yunwen make any arrangements?"

"Yes, the grandson of Emperor Yunwen asked Duke Cao to lead an army of 500,000 to suppress the rebellion of the grandson of Emperor Yunhu." Jiang Lin said.

"Five hundred thousand soldiers?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. The next second, he reacted, his eyes brightening. "Is Yunwen trying to make an example of someone else and frighten the other princes by suppressing Yunhuan's rebellion?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded.

"Good handling." Zhu Yuanzhang's bad mood improved a little.

Although he was dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's method of reducing the power of the princes, his decision to deal with emergencies was very good.

Zhongdu, Fengyang.

Zhu Yunhuan stayed in Fengyang, waiting for food and supplies while waiting for news from Yingtian Prefecture.

Just as he had judged before, the officials of Fengyang finally agreed to raise food and fodder for him. Of course, there was no clear response on the surface.

it is more than words.

"Your Highness, you are truly amazing." Ma Sanbao's face was full of admiration.

"Haha!" Zhu Yunhuan smiled without explaining too much.

He had already said what he needed to say, and he was not surprised by the choice of Fengyang officials.

This is the human heart!
"Gu Gu."

"Gu Gu."

A carrier pigeon flew over and landed on Zhu Yunhuan's shoulder.

Ma Sanbao was stunned and turned his head away.

If he had only had suspicions before, now he was 100% sure that Zhu Yunhuan had spies in Yingtian Prefecture.

"Tsk, Li Jinglong!" Zhu Yunhuan read the contents of the note with a playful look in his eyes. History repeated itself.

The only difference is that the target changed from Zhu Di to him.

"I wonder how Fourth Uncle feels right now?" A sense of evil interest suddenly arose in Zhu Yunhuan's heart.

As a time traveler, the greatest advantage is to have the Eye of God.

Without him, Zhu Di would have been "forced" to join the Fengtian Rebellion.

[History is a table].

The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. History is written by the victors and the losers have no say.

So, can an unprepared vassal king really succeed in raising an army and defeat the emperor who has the right to succeed to the throne?
Zhu Di did not have a system in hand.

Maybe it is possible, but it is more likely that Zhu Di had been preparing for it early on, perhaps at the moment when Yao Guangxiao met Zhu Di, or perhaps at the moment when Zhu Di was driven out of Yingtian Prefecture.

If Zhu Di had made preparations in advance and launched the Jingnan Rebellion in a premeditated manner, then the subsequent success of the Jingnan Rebellion would have become much more reasonable.

"Huh" Zhu Yunhuan shook his head and suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind. Now he had no time to pay attention to Zhu Di. That was something he needed to consider after the success of the Jingnan Rebellion.

"Sanbao, Zhu Yunwen has sent 500,000 soldiers to attack us. Are you afraid?" Zhu Yunhuan looked at Ma Sanbao beside him and asked with a smile.

"Ah? Five hundred thousand soldiers and horses?" Ma Sanbao opened his mouth wide, a little dumbfounded.

He calculated in his mind that this number of troops was almost the limit of what the imperial court could mobilize.

Is this too much of a reaction?

"What? Are you scared?" Zhu Yunhuan smiled.

Ma Sanbao shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. I just didn't expect the imperial court to react so strongly. 500,000 soldiers and horses, that's a bit too much respect for us."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said softly, "It's not out of respect, but Zhu Yunwen wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. He wants to use the suppression of me to tell all the princes to behave themselves in the future."

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Ma Sanbao suddenly realized something, and then a look of worry appeared on his face: "Your Highness, should we hide away?"

"You just said you weren't afraid. What's wrong? Are you lying to me?" Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao shook his head and said, "No, I didn't lie to Your Highness. I'm really not afraid. I'm a dead man anyway, so it doesn't matter if I die. But Your Highness's body is worth a million gold..."

"Okay, stop saying those unlucky words. Since you are not afraid, let's go to Li Jinglong and fight these 500,000 soldiers."

"Besides, this is the first hurdle we have to cross to enter Yingtian Prefecture. If we can't get through, we might as well disband and run away as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand, interrupting Ma Sanbao's words, full of heroic spirit.

Perhaps it was the impression of Li Jinglong in history books, or perhaps it was the confidence brought by the system. In short, facing the attack of Li Jinglong's 500,000-strong army, Zhu Yunhuan was really not afraid at all.

Ma Sanbao's eyes were determined as he said, "This servant swears to follow His Highness until death!"

Beiping, Prince Yan's Mansion!

Zhu Di finished reading the letter in his hand, his eyes were strange: "Five hundred thousand soldiers and horses, is Zhu Yunwen crazy?"

Yao Guangxiao, looking puzzled, asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by 500,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Zhu Yunwen asked Li Jinglong to lead 500,000 troops to suppress Yunhuan. This move was really stupid." Zhu Di shook his head.

"This..." Yao Guangxiao frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Your Highness, Zhu Yunwen might be using the idea of ​​killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. He wants to suppress the grandson of the emperor Yunhuan to warn your Highness and the other princes."
