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

Chapter 77: Enemy at the Gate, Telescope!

Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Wen'er, I don't think you don't know who to trust, but you are afraid. You are afraid that Zhu Yunhuan will invade Yingtian Prefecture."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and retorted: "Mother, I didn't."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "Wen'er, it's just the two of us here, you don't have to hide anything."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then he hung his head like a deflated ball.

Just as Lu said, he was indeed afraid.

But could he be blamed for this? An army of 500,000 men was wiped out like this. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a thing?
Fengyang is too close to Yingtian Prefecture.

The defeat of the 500,000-strong army resulted in the court completely losing the initiative and could only passively defend.

Also, his relationship with the generals in the army was average, while Zhu Yunhuan was just the opposite. In this case, it would be strange if he didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid at all. You should use the generals in the army when you need to. There is no need to think too much. Looking back and forth will only make you anxious." Lu said.

She sees things very clearly.

The generals in the army have a close relationship with Zhu Yunhuan, but the person sitting on the throne now is Zhu Yunwen. Unless Zhu Yunhuan can fight to Yingtian Prefecture, it is simply ridiculous to expect those generals in the army to defect to Zhu Yunhuan just because of the close relationship.

Zhu Yunwen looked up at Lu, looking a little ashamed: "Mother, I..."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said, "It's okay. You're just too young. You'll be fine after you gain more experience. Also, there's nothing wrong with you transferring Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong to Chuzhou. Of course, that's assuming Zhu Di doesn't take any action."

"Fourth uncle!" When Zhu Yunwen heard Lu mention Zhu Di, he was stunned at first, and then his expression changed drastically.

He realized a little later that Jinan Prefecture was an important checkpoint to resist Zhu Di's southward advance, and that was why he transferred Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong there.

Now, due to excessive pressure, he directly transferred Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong to Chuzhou. In this way, Zhu Yunhuan's problem was solved, but what if Zhu Di caused trouble? Then no one would take care of it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen began to feel a little anxious.

Although Zhu Yunhuan is now very powerful, Zhu Di is obviously a greater threat to him.

"Look, you are anxious again. Let me tell you, Zhu Di will most likely not take any action before the court eliminates Zhu Yunhuan." Lu said softly.

"Ah?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion, and he looked up at Lu.

Zhu Yunhuan is in rebellion and the imperial court is overwhelmed with the situation. This is a good opportunity to start a rebellion. Will Zhu Di just give up?

"What? Do you think Zhu Di is a fool? If he causes trouble at this time, the Ming Dynasty may become chaotic in an instant. Zhu Di does not want to see such a result." Lu said.

"The world is in chaos?" Zhu Yunwen frowned and lowered his head into deep thought.

After a moment, he figured everything out and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fourth Uncle's personality is such that he certainly wouldn't cause trouble at this time. In this case, we only need to capture Zhu Yunhuan."

"Although Zhu Di will not cause trouble now, your action this time is still a bit too risky. Don't do this again in the future. Also, you should find opportunities to interact more with the generals in the army and win their hearts." Lu said.

Before, she didn't realize the importance of soldiers and horses.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has gradually stabilized, and it is time to let the horses go to the mountains to rest.

Unexpectedly, when this war started, she realized that at any time, as long as she did not have capable generals and strong soldiers, it would be a huge hidden danger.

Perhaps this hidden danger will never break out, but once it breaks out, the problem will be very serious.

Now it is Zhu Yunhuan, and the situation is slightly better. At least Zhu Yunhuan will not harm the common people. If the nomadic tribes on the grassland move south in the future, they will burn, kill, loot and do anything. If the Ming Dynasty does not have capable generals at that time, how can it resist?
"Mom, I understand." Zhu Yunwen nodded.

After Lu's guidance, he figured out a lot of things.

Of course, this was also because the pressure caused by Zhu Yunhuan's rebellion was too great, forcing him to change.

After the elimination of Zhu Yunhuan, the policy of reducing the power of the feudal lords will certainly continue.

However, after Zhu Yunhuan's disturbance, Li Jinglong was obviously unreliable.

In this situation, if other vassal kings caused trouble, what should the court do? Suppression is certain, but who should be sent?

It is very necessary to win over a group of military generals.

If nothing else, it would at least make him feel safer.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Outside Chuzhou City.

"Boom!"

The ground shook.

An army of 150,000 arrived outside Chuzhou City.

"Whoa!" Zhu Yunhuan pulled the reins of his warhorse.

"Shh!"

One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses then stopped.

Influenced by the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the newly joined former Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses also underwent tremendous changes.

"Sanbao, notify everyone to rest on the spot." Zhu Yunxun said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ma Sanbao agreed and turned to convey Zhu Yunhuan's order.

Zhu Yunhuan dismounted, took out a telescope from his arms, and observed the defense situation of Chuzhou City.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Even without understanding the situation, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could still capture Chuzhou City with their strength.

However, it would definitely be better if you know more.

At least, casualties can be greatly reduced.

Zhu Gaoxu came to Zhu Yunhuan and said with a smile: "Brother Huan, after we take down Chuzhou City and enter Yingtian Prefecture, the only thing left is Jiangning."

Recently, he felt more and more that his decision to join Zhu Yunhuan was very wise, and he became more and more certain that Zhu Yunhuan could enter Yingtian Prefecture and sit on the throne.

On the side, Tang He and Zhu Neng had complicated expressions.

After leaving Fengyang, the army pushed forward all the way, encountering almost no decent resistance, and the speed of advancement was frighteningly fast.

"Chuzhou's defense is quite tight. Second brother, you can take a look too." Zhu Yunhuan threw the telescope to Zhu Gaoxu.

The one who will attack Chuzhou later is Zhu Gaoxu, so there is no harm in letting Zhu Gaoxu know the defense situation of Chuzhou City in advance.

"Ah? This thing can see the defense of Chuzhou?" Zhu Gaoxu took the telescope with a suspicious look.

The place where they were staying was still dozens of meters away from Chuzhou City. Now, with the help of a small thing, they could see the situation in Chuzhou City. Is it so outrageous?
With suspicion in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu picked up the telescope and looked towards Chuzhou City in the same way as Zhu Yunhuan.

The next second, he was stunned: "This, this, this..."

He had a clear view of the defense situation in Chuzhou City.

"What the hell?" Zhu Gaoxu was confused.

Being able to see the situation on the other side clearly from just dozens of meters away, isn't this too abnormal?
He took the telescope down, then picked it up again, and after a while, he finally realized that what he was holding was a priceless treasure. "Brother Hun, this..." Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at Zhu Yunhu with a face full of shock.

As a leading general, he knew very well the value of a telescope.

If this thing were to be sold, he would never frown no matter how much it cost.

"How does it feel? Do you like it?" Zhu Yunxun smiled.

He has signed for dozens of such telescopes, all of which are scattered in the system warehouse.

"I like it!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded heavily.

After saying this, he looked at Zhu Yunhuan with anticipation, feeling extremely nervous.

Zhu Yunhuan asked him if he liked it? Was he planning to give it to him?
Of course, he also knew that this possibility was unlikely. Just think about it, who would easily give away a treasure like a telescope?
Anyway, if it were him, he would never give such a treasure to others.

However, even though he knew he couldn't get it, it didn't affect his fantasy.

What if?
As a human being, you must have dreams!
"This is a gift for you. Perform well and take over Chuzhou City!" Zhu Yunhuan said.

"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard that.

It took him a while to react, his face full of disbelief: "Brother, you said that you gave me this telescope? Is that true?"

He wondered if he was hallucinating.

Can such a priceless treasure be given away so easily?

"Really, it's a gift for you!" Zhu Yunhuan nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Hu, I will take over Chuzhou City within two days, otherwise you will be beheaded." Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The combination of elite troops and the telescope's vision will produce a terrifying chemical reaction.

Give the simplest example.

When defending a city, it is impossible to send a large number of troops to every place, there will always be some weak points.

With a telescope, this weak point can be easily found.

"Two days is a bit slow. I'll help you open the city gate later, and you can lead your men to charge in directly." Zhu Yunheng patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder and said softly.

The most important point in attacking a city is to open the city gates. Coincidentally, he has a way to break into the city.

"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Zhu Yunhuan shrugged, without further explanation, and found a place to sit down and rest.

Continuous advance is fast, but it is also very tiring!

"Your Highness, please have some water." Zhao Hu ran over with a flattering look on his face.

When Zhu Yunhuan left Fengyang, he followed him. He felt that by following Zhu Yunhuan, he might be able to gain great wealth.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yunhuan reached out to take the cup of water, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps.

"What a treasure!" Zhu Gaoxu pondered Zhu Yunhuan's words for a while, then felt relieved. Then he took the telescope and kept playing with it, feeling extremely excited.

He had a hunch that with a treasure like the telescope, he would definitely become famous in the future.

"Second Young Master, what is this?" Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who looked like a fool, with curiosity on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was filled with emotion. He handed the telescope to Zhu Neng and said, "Zhu Neng, see? This is a great treasure. I am now more and more convinced that joining Hu Ge'er was an extremely wise decision. Hu Ge'er is really good to me!"

"Ah? What's going on?" Zhu Neng was full of doubts.

He looked at the telescope in Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and knew in his heart that Zhu Gaoxu's appearance at this moment was related to this telescope.

"What on earth is this thing?" Zhu Neng thought to himself.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Neng with a conflicted look in his heart. Finally, he endured the pain and handed the telescope to Zhu Neng, saying, "Zhu Neng, are you wondering why I'm so excited right now? Here, I'll lend you this telescope to broaden your horizons."

"Second Young Master, does this thing have any magical power?" Zhu Neng looked hesitant.

"You'll know once you try it." Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of mystery.

If he didn't want to help Zhu Yunhuan win over Zhu Neng, if Zhu Neng wasn't the person he brought from Peking and had a good attitude towards him, he wouldn't have bothered to let Zhu Neng feel the charm of the telescope.

"Huh" Zhu Neng took a deep breath and, under the guidance of Zhu Gaoxu, used a telescope to look at the distant Chuzhou City.

When he saw it, he was stunned: "This, this, this..."

Zhu Gaoxu took the telescope off Zhu Neng's face and said with a smile: "Zhu Neng, now you know what kind of treasure this is, right?"

"It is indeed a treasure. How can the grandson of the Emperor Yunhu give away such a thing casually?" Zhu Neng was shocked.

The next second, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Yunhuan not far away, his eyes fiery.

Since Zhu Yunhuan could give one to Zhu Gaoxu at will, if he performed well, could he also get one?

As an excellent general, he is also very clear about the role of the telescope. This thing can directly greatly enhance his abilities. With the telescope, maybe he can also become a famous general who will go down in history?

"Perform well. If you make great contributions, I will personally go to Hu Ge'er and ask for one for you." Zhu Gaoxu patted Zhu Neng's shoulder.

"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Zhu Neng was delighted and bowed.

His previous thoughts, which had begun to waver after he saw the speed of the troops' marching, were finally completely shattered at this moment, and the thought of returning to Peking no longer existed in his mind.

"What are you two whispering about? You look so happy!" Tang He walked over, his eyes full of confusion.

The abnormalities of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng aroused his curiosity.

Now that the war is imminent, the atmosphere should be very serious, but Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng are very excited.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but come over and ask.

"General Tang, you have fought in wars all your life. Come, today I will help you see a treasure." Zhu Gaoxu looked extremely proud. He picked up the telescope and waved it in front of Tang He.

Tang He was sent by Lu and Zhu Yunwen, mother and son, so it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Yunwen to give Tang He a telescope.

Tang He couldn't get the telescope, so he had to show off and make Tang He uncomfortable.

"Ha, boy, you are quite arrogant. I have seen all kinds of treasures in my life." Tang He shook his head with a surprised look.

"Here, here, come and feel this thing." Zhu Gaoxu put the telescope over Tang He's face. For fear that Tang He would take it away without martial ethics, he simply did not let Tang He touch it and took the initiative to help Tang He use it.

"What is this? I can't see anything." Tang He felt his vision blurry and couldn't help but frown, feeling that he had been fooled by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Here I am, please take a good look!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled and turned Tang He's head to look towards Chuzhou City.

Tang He was about to lose his temper when the scene before him suddenly became clear. After carefully examining it, he was a little confused: "Is this Chuzhou City?"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu burst into laughter and took the telescope away from Tang He's face. With a half-smile in his eyes, he said, "General Tang, have you seen this treasure?"
