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

Chapter 96 Zhu Yuanzhang: I, Sun Yunhuan, am a true dragon!
"Li Jinglong, you deserve to die!"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong looked at Li Jinglong with gritted teeth.

If a glance could be used, there would be no need for it. As long as Zhu Yunhuan nodded, they would rush forward in an instant and hack Li Jinglong to death.

Damn, that’s so hateful!
The achievement of breaking the city of Yingtian Prefecture was the last piece of the puzzle in escorting Zhu Yunhuan on his road to heaven. How great was his contribution?
They thought it was in their pockets, but now it was snatched away by Li Jinglong!

"Duke Cao, there's something." Tang He and Ma Sanbao looked at each other deeply.

Not to mention that he lost 500,000 soldiers and horses in Fengyang, but was still valued by Zhu Yunwen in the end. Just the fact that he was able to surrender with all the soldiers defending the city at this time is something that not everyone can do.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the scene in front of him, his smile growing wider as he said, "Jinglong, you, I didn't expect that you would give me such a big surprise without making any noise!"

"Your Highness, this is because of your high prestige and the people's support. I just played a very insignificant role in it." Li Jinglong flattered.

"Ugh, disgusting!"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw Li Jinglong licking Zhu Yunhuan without any bottom line.

High prestige?
What do people want?
Zhu Yunhuan had been away from Yingtian Prefecture for three years. Where did his prestige come from? Where did the people support him?
Of course, they would not be stupid enough to refute Li Jinglong.

"Haha!" Zhu Yunhuan smiled and waved his hand at the kneeling Ming soldiers, saying, "Alright, everyone stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Ming soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and stood up one after another.

"Is this city broken like this?"

"No, how can we surrender? We are going to attack the city!"

"Alright, stop talking now. Didn't you see the ugly faces of the Second Young Master and Generals Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong? They wanted to attack the city even more than you did, but the city has already been breached."

"Haha, it's good to break the city this way. We are all on the same side, so why fight? Let's save our energy to fight the Northern Yuan bandits later."

"."

The former Ming Dynasty soldiers, now a group of people under Zhu Yunhuan, all had strange expressions on their faces at this moment. Some were depressed, some were happy, and some breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boom!"

Li Jinglong trotted along, led Zhu Yunhuan's warhorse over, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please mount your horse and enter the city!"

"?"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong were stunned when they saw this.

Afterwards, they no longer cared about cursing Li Jinglong, and all said, "Your Highness, please enter the city!"

"Your Highness, please enter the city!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout Yingtian Prefecture.

on the street!
When Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai heard the shouting, their faces changed and they looked anxious.

Zhu Yunwen has not returned yet.

According to their original plan, they were to flee Yingtian Prefecture when Zhu Yunhuan entered the city.

"I'll go call His Majesty!" Huang Zicheng said, and strode towards the inn.

After a while.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai found the room rented by Zhu Yunwen. At this moment, the room was empty, with some scattered hair and blood on the floor.

"This"

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other in surprise and confusion.

Zhu Yunwen is missing!

Killed?
Or something else?

"Perhaps, Taizu gave Your Majesty a way to escape." Huang Zicheng said after a moment of silence.

This is the most reasonable explanation at present.

Fang Xiaoru said nothing, but quietly stepped forward to clear the scattered hair and blood from the ground. He turned to Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai and said, "Let's go."

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai nodded.

The three of them left the inn and disappeared into the night.

In the small courtyard!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up towards the city gate with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

The eldest grandson who was once imprisoned behind the high walls of Fengyang by him has now returned to Yingtian Prefecture in a way he had never imagined.

"Alas," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged many years.

Jiang Li came over and said, "Your Majesty, the things have been handed over to the Emperor's grandson, Yunwen."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a wry smile, "Okay, go see Yunhuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Li bowed, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the dark night sky, speechless for a long time.

His Ming Dynasty has changed!

The Duke's Mansion of Wei!

Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin, brother and sister, listened to the shouts coming from the city gate and were speechless for a while.

"I didn't expect that the grandson of Emperor Yunhu would actually break into Yingtian Prefecture." Xu Miaojin broke the silence, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"I can't imagine how the grandson of Emperor Yunhu managed to capture Yingtian Prefecture in one day." Xu Zengshou said quietly.

This is not any other place, but Yingtianfu, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s so magical to reach Yingtian Prefecture in one day!
Xu Miaojin nodded, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and said, "Indeed, it seems that the grandson of the Emperor Yunxun can conquer any city in a day. How did he do it?"

Xu Huizu was silent for a moment, then said, "There are two reasons why the Emperor's grandson Yun Hun was able to take Yingtian Prefecture so quickly: one, divine help, and two, Li Jinglong."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin looked up at Xu Huizu with puzzled expressions.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath and said, "Not long ago, gunpowder fell from the sky and blew up the gate of Yingtian Prefecture."

"Ah?" Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The city gate was blown away by the heavenly fire?
this.
"Could it be that the grandson of Emperor Yunhu is really the true dragon emperor? It seemed that he was shot by thousands of arrows before, but he was safe and sound in the end." A strange look flashed in Xu Miaojin's eyes.

A strange thing can be said to be a coincidence once, but if it happens twice in a row, the coincidence is obviously not convincing.

"The True Dragon Emperor." Xu Zengshou had a complicated expression.

If Zhu Yunhuan was the true emperor, then who was Zhu Di? Was there any need for him to support Zhu Di?
"Maybe." Xu Huizu shook his head, his heart was also very confused.

The story of real dragons has always been illusory, and most of the time, it is just a means of fooling people. However, now it has actually happened twice.

"Brother, where is Li Jinglong? Why did you mention him?" Xu Miaojin asked.

Because of Xu Huizu's incident, she has always been resentful towards Li Jinglong.

Xu Huizu shook his head and said, "Li Jinglong betrayed His Majesty and took a group of soldiers defending the city to join the Emperor's grandson Yunhuan."

"Ah?" Xu Miaojin was stunned. She thought Zhu Yunhuan had defeated Li Jinglong again, but she didn't expect that Li Jinglong would surrender directly.

"Li Jinglong is a guy who knows how to change with the situation. With the merit of surrendering the city, not only will he be innocent, but the grandson of Emperor Yunhu may even reward him handsomely." Xu Zengshou shook his head.

Xu Miaojin blinked, a smile flashed across her face, and she said, "I'm very curious what Your Majesty would think if he knew that Li Jinglong had defected to the Emperor Yunhuan's grandson."

After a pause, she was relieved again: "However, it is also fortunate that His Majesty did not let my eldest brother take action, otherwise, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan."

With God's help, Zhu Yunhuan was pushed into the city. How could mortals stop him?

He knew Xu Huizu's character very well. Li Jinglong was able to surrender, but her elder brother would never do that. Therefore, if Zhu Yunwen had sent Xu Huizu to defend the city at that time, Xu Huizu might have died in battle.

"What do you think, can the grandson of the Emperor Yunhu withstand the attacks of the princes?" Xu Zengshou suddenly asked.

The princes are already on the way and will arrive in Yingtian Prefecture soon.

Although Zhu Yunhuan now occupies Yingtian Prefecture, it is easy to imagine that the vassal kings will definitely not recognize it, and there will inevitably be a war between the two.

Only when Zhu Yunhuan resisted the attacks of the vassal kings could his rebellion be considered truly successful.

"Normally it would be difficult to defeat him, but if God continues to help the grandson of Emperor Yunhu, then it's hard to say." Xu Huizu said.

The princes may not be strong individually, but when they work together, their combat power is extremely terrifying.

Xu Miaojin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, why don't you go and help the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan? If you can help the grandson of the Emperor Yunhuan repel the vassal kings, then you will definitely be famous throughout the Ming Dynasty."

"This..." Xu Huizu was moved for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."

He has always had a dream to follow in the footsteps of his father Xu Da, but unfortunately, Zhu Yunwen is not Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Miaojin's unintentional words caused ripples in his heart.

As far as he knew, there were not many capable generals under Zhu Yunhuan's command, only Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong. Among them, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng were sent by Zhu Di to Zhu Yunhuan, and their loyalty remained to be discussed.

In this case, if he surrendered to Zhu Yunhuan, he might really be trusted by Zhu Yunhuan, and then he could fully demonstrate his abilities.

However, he finally suppressed the idea. Now that Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts were unknown, it would be a bit inappropriate for him to go directly to Zhu Yunhuan for help. He should wait and see. There was no need to rush into this matter.

"By the way, third brother, you know Prince Yan best. What is he thinking about why he is delaying sending troops?" Xu Miaojin's eyes turned and fell on Xu Zengshou.

Zhu Yunhuan's uprising attracted people's attention and shifted the focus from Zhu Di to Zhu Yunhuan, resulting in Zhu Di being basically ignored now.

"I don't know about that." Xu Zengshou shook his head.

Xu Huizu glanced at Xu Zengshou and said, "What else can I think? He's probably thinking about when it would be most advantageous to send troops. The Prince of Yan still has ambitions for the throne."

"Really? In that case, Prince Yan will send troops in the next two days?" Xu Miaojin said.

Zhu Yunhuan entered Yingtian Prefecture, and the next step was to fight a fierce battle with the vassal kings. In this situation, if Zhu Di did not raise an army, it would be too late.

"That's for sure!" Xu Huizu nodded.

In the dark night!
The people of Yingtian Prefecture were awakened.

They slept very restlessly that night.

First there was a violent explosion, and then the current shouting.

"Is this the grandson of the Emperor Yun Hu entering the city? Isn't that too fast? Yingtian Prefecture was also taken in a single day?"

"It took over half a month to fight his way into Yingtian Prefecture. Isn't the Emperor Yunhuan's grandson too strong?"

"The Ming Dynasty has changed. I wonder what changes will happen after the grandson of the emperor Yunhuan takes the throne. I hope he can treat the people well."

"It was fine during the day, but it was broken at night. Could it be that someone defected to the Emperor Yunhuan's grandson and opened the city gates?"

"All the cities, big and small, fell in one day. The Emperor's grandson Yun Hu is truly terrifying!"

"Speaking of which, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and Tiger Leopard Cavalry under the command of Emperor Yunhu are so ferocious. I'm afraid that the northern grasslands will be completely defeated by our Ming Dynasty in the future. After all, they don't have any cities to defend."

"Yingtian Prefecture was breached just like that. Was it someone who surrendered and opened the city gate, or were the troops under the command of Emperor Yunhuan truly that formidable?"

"."

The people closed their doors and windows and whispered to each other.

They will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

Huangjue Temple, back mountain.

Zhu Yunwen looked panicked and followed the markings on the map to reach his destination.

This is a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

Zhu Yunwen had been to Huangjue Temple before, but he had never been to the back mountain and didn't know there was a courtyard here.

"Huh" Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and walked forward to knock on the gate.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a dull knock on the door, which seemed very loud in the quiet night.

Zhu Yunwen's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously knocked on the door softly. Otherwise, if he attracted the attention of others, it would be all over.

"Squeak!"

Soon, the temple door was opened from the inside, and the person who came in was an old monk holding an oil lamp.

Zhu Yunwen was somewhat at a loss, and subconsciously clasped his hands together: "I..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's letter only told him to follow the map, but did not tell him what to do after arriving at the destination.

"Come in!" The old monk stepped aside and said calmly.

Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief and slipped into the yard.

"Bang!" The door closed again, as if it had never been opened.

"Follow me!" said the old monk.

After saying that, he started walking on his own.

He did not ask about Zhu Yunwen's background, which made Zhu Yunwen feel a little relieved. After hesitating for a moment, he took a step forward and followed.

In front of the city gate!
Zhu Yunhuan was in high spirits and looked quite excited.

He looked around, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, let's enter the city!"

The next second, he turned over and mounted his warhorse.

Li Jinglong stepped forward and led the horse, saying, "Your Highness, I will lead the horse for you. Please sit tight!"

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

"The eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, enter the city!" Li Jinglong led the horse, arrogant and looking extremely excited.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed that holding Zhu Yunhuan's horse was a very honorable thing. Of course, at this moment, it was indeed the case.

"This guy"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng, Sheng Yong and Ma Sanbao were speechless when they saw Li Jinglong's shameless look. However, although they were speechless, there was indescribable envy in their eyes.

They also wanted to hold Zhu Yunhuan's horse!

"Jiang Li, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, pays his respects to Your Highness!" Jiang Li walked over and bowed deeply.

The warhorse stopped.

Zhu Yunhuan's eyes fell on Jiang Li and he said, "Go and tell Mrs. Lu that I, Zhu Yunhuan, have returned."

"Tap Tap!"

The war horse passed by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li lay on the ground until Zhu Yunhuan walked away, then he stood up.

His expression was hesitant for a moment.

He probably understood the meaning of Zhu Yunhuan's words. A message? More like a death sentence!

But Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive!
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, turned around and walked away.

Courtyard!

Tang He had a complicated expression. He took a deep breath, pushed open the gate and walked in.

"You're back!" Zhu Yuanzhang had been waiting for Tang He. He knew that no matter how late it was, Tang He would come to see him.

"Your Majesty!" Tang He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Tang He, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yun Hun."

"Your Majesty, Emperor Yunhu's grandson is indeed very outstanding." Tang He interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang. He understood Zhu Yuanzhang and knew what he wanted to ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, then said, "During this time, you should have gained some understanding of Yunhu's strength. Do you think he can withstand the vassal kings?"

"Yes!" Tang He answered directly without any hesitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Tang He with a look of surprise.

Such a decisive answer?
Without any hesitation?

Now the outside world, including him, is not optimistic about Zhu Yunhuan.

"Your Majesty, I know you are confused as to why I spoke so decisively. However, this is because you have not seen the combat effectiveness of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If you had seen them, you would probably have the same idea as I do." Tang He's face was full of emotion.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked curious and asked, "Are the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry really that powerful?"

"Yes, my evaluation of the two armies, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, can be summed up in two words: invincible!" Tang He said.

"Invincible?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

Tang He is not a novice on the battlefield. He has rich battlefield experience. The soldiers he calls invincible must have extremely terrifying combat power.

Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a wry smile on his face. He explained, "Your Majesty, you may not believe what I'm saying. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, with a combined force of tens of thousands, remain absolutely loyal to the Emperor's grandson Yun Hun. They are not afraid of death, and when they launch an attack, they maintain a unified movement!"

"Absolute loyalty!"

“Don’t fear death!”

"Move in unison!"

After hearing what Tang He said, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Does such an army really exist?
If you can satisfy one of these three elements, it is already a dream come true. If you can satisfy two of them, you can dominate the world. If you can satisfy all three, you will be invincible!

He admitted that Tang He was right. If the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were really like this, they would indeed be an invincible army!
"How did Yunhu do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more curious about Zhu Yunhu. He had to admit that his eldest grandson seemed to be a little bit evil.

After three years of imprisonment, he ended up with two such terrifying armies.

Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, even if he was the emperor now, he would not be able to stop Zhu Yunhuan from entering Yingtian Prefecture!
"Yunhu, he might be... No, he is a real dragon!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly in his heart. Being able to train such terrifying soldiers and having the blessing of God, what the hell is this if not a real dragon?
Back then, he was not even a fraction as good as Zhu Yunhuan!
