Chapter 898 Allied Forces Dispatched
Chapter 898 The coalition forces dispatched
Zhu Gaoxu equated Xia Yuanji with Huang Zicheng. Like his father, he came up with the reason for his rebellion: "Clear the monarch and wipe out the treacherous ministers."
What Zhu Di wanted to eradicate was Huang Zicheng and others, while what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to eradicate was Xia Yuanji and others.
These important officials of the dynasty were naturally the main force in quelling the rebellion. Huang Zicheng, well-read poetry and good at talking about war on paper, was a rookie in political and military struggles.
Xia Yuanji, who has been through the five dynasties since the Zhu Yuanzhang period, assisted Zhu Di in governing the country after the war, assisted Ren Xuan to create the "Ren Xuan Governance". He is a real veteran in the workplace. The rookie and veterans can compete with each other.
He equated himself with his father Zhu Di. Zhu Di had his own unscrupulous difficulties in rebelling. After all, his nephew was pressing him step by step. As he said, "Jingnan" was a forced and a demand for life!
As for Zhu Gaoxu, his brother and nephew have always been tolerant and respectful to him, but he still has an obsession with him and blindly wants to seize the throne.
Morally, Zhu Gaoxu was betrayal of his relatives.
Zhu Di was both an excellent military strategist and an outstanding politician. Before the rebellion, he carefully weighed his own weight.
He used to fight for many years and understood that military is politics and politics is military. Therefore, his strict military discipline and captured the hearts of many people.
He also has the willpower of perseverance and the courage to not retreat when encountering difficulties. Even though he faced the danger of failure several times, he finally persisted until he succeeded.
Although Zhu Gaoxu has experienced the baptism of artillery fire, he does not have the perseverance of moving forward, nor does he have political wisdom.
As soon as he takes action, he only knows how to act recklessly, showing off his opponents military weapons and showing his trump card.
It is really not as good as his nephew Zhu Zhanji, who shouted and beat each other while shouting, destroying the other's morale from both military and political aspects.
In the end, Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion can only be regarded as a farce.
These princes of the Ming Dynasty rebelled after Lao Tzu's death. Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, no prince dared to rebel while Lao Tzu was in power.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu are different, they are not father and son.
Zhu Youjian, who knew the history of the Ming Dynasty, knew better the psychology of his three sons. They had just come from suffering and even let them rebel.
Besides, the Ming Dynasty has such a large territory now. It is very simple if any prince wants to be a local emperor. Just say it, Zhu Youjian will immediately give them some troops and let him go overseas to grab territory by himself. Why bother killing each other at home?
Zhu Youjian's prestige in the Ming Dynasty is now a god in his heart, both civil and military officials and the people. He is not an emperor at all.
Not only the officials and the people support him, the entire Ming soldiers are also his loyal fans. Not to mention rebellion, even if you scold him, you will be killed by the soldiers.
He is also a time traveler with his own system. As long as he has money and points, the whole world will fight against him, and Zhu Youjian is not afraid.
Because of this, Zhu Youjian had no reservations about the prince Zhu Cihuang. He wanted to make the Ming Dynasty stand on the top of the world a hundred years later.
In order not to let the Ming army secretly leak, the three young generals were ordered to lead their troops and take the lead in cleaning up the military camp within 50 miles.
There are not many herders nearby. Although they will not be killed by the Ming army if they do not resist, they are not the people of the Ming army after all, and they are still very afraid of the Ming army.
After the arrival of the Ming army, they moved away to avoid being affected by the war.
Some of the bold ones did not leave, but after receiving the notice from the Ming army, they left immediately.
In half a day, there was no herder within fifty miles of the Ming army's barracks.
At this time, Meng Liang led his troops to work, and their task was to lay mines.
There were no mines at that time, but there were explosives. The Ming army was equipped with firearms, so gunpowder would certainly not be lacking.
Meng Liang led his men to draw a grassland that was 500 meters wide and 1,000 meters long, and asked the soldiers to start digging holes.
The earth pit does not need to be too big, just connect the explosives. The opponent's soldiers would not have thought that they would step on the mine, which was beyond their perception.
After digging the small soil pit, some explosives, grenades and other explosives were placed inside. In addition, a large pit was dug diagonally every fifty meters, and a Ming army was squatting inside, covering it with wooden boards and grass. Once they heard the signal, they immediately ignited the gunpowder leads.
It sounds simple, but it is not that easy to do. Once the enemy attacks during this period, Meng Liang and the others will be wasted all their efforts.
Dozens of scouts sent by Zhu Cixuan were running back and forth on the grassland. They also had walkie-talkies in their hands and would report all the troubles they found to Zhu Cixuan.
Two days later, no action was found in the intelligence, and Meng Liang led his troops to complete the mission successfully on the third day.
At this time, the Pingko Army led by Li Yan also dug the trenches, so there is no need to worry about the coalition forces coming.
The only thing that made Zhu Cilang worried was whether the explosives buried by Meng Liang and the others would explode. After all, this is the first time.
After all the preparations were completed, Zhu Cilang was anxious for all the generals to hold a meeting. He wanted to tell the soldiers how to use the trench...
Zhang Fugui and Huang Dahu were stationed in the first trench, Huang Xiaohu and Zhang Lu were stationed in the second trench, and the third trench was handed over to Li Yan's Pingko Army.
Once the first trench could not resist the coalition's impact, Zhang Fugui immediately retreated to the second trench and so on. He must block all coalition forces in the third trench.
Zhu Cixuan himself led 2,000 personal guards, 50,000 new troops and all gunners to guard the military camp.
The gunners here do not include mortars, and the mortars are all assigned to three trench guards.
The Ming army's trenches were not very deep, and people can still expose their shoulders and heads, which is convenient for shooting.
Once the opponent fires a cannon, there are anti-cannon holes about two meters in the trench, so you can temporarily avoid it.
After everything is ready, each person takes turns to be on duty, the other troops have a good rest, and after resting enough, they are ready to be hit by the coalition forces at any time.
The Ming army tents on the riverside are densely packed, with forty camps running from head to end and stretching for more than ten miles, standing like a mountain, majestic and spectacular.
A group of ten people from the Ming army by the river were tents, and the surrounding area of the camp was covered with caltrops, and patrol personnel were not allowed to go day and night.
In early June, with the arrival of the Chechnya army, the coalition forces of the five-nation nation finally successfully met within the Kazakh Khanate.
The five anti-Ming countries had a total of 250,000 troops. After the leader of the coalition forces led by Golovin welcomed the Chechen Khan, the coalition forces rested for another day and prepared to attack the Ming army entering the Kazakh Khanate on the third day.
On the third day, the coalition forces, under various banners and in different steps, finally rushed towards the Ming army camp in a mighty manner!
The sound of trumpets resounded throughout the world, and the 250,000 coalition forces advanced south like a torrent. Their flags covered the sky, the people were noisy, the horses were neighing, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The herdsmen along the way looked at it and saw flags on the green grassland like the sea, and the vast crowds of people could not see their heads in front and their tails behind.
A twelve or 3-year-old herder kid pointed at the coalition forces and shouted:
"Look, the Kazakh Khanate and the four-national coalition forces have finally been dispatched. It's so majestic!"
Chapter completed!
