Chapter 590 General Commander of the Alliance

Hongwu, Yongle, the two most powerful giants were all determined to take the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces into their pockets. The two looked at each other and cursed each other.

As people with great ambitions, how could they not see what each other was thinking?

"The fourth bastard."

Lao Zhu was indignant and extremely annoyed.

It would be fine if Zhu Houzhao was lawless and rebellious, but Zhu Di dared to compete with him, which was simply too annoying.

However, this is also an inevitable thing. Although Zhu Di was quite afraid of Lao Zhu, he became less afraid after he ruled the world on the throne for a long time.

In the face of naked interests, that insignificant little fear is far from enough to make Zhu Di concessions.

Emperor Hongwu started in a short time and created the Ming Empire with one hand. Emperor Yongle suppressed all countries and conquered his life, and was absolutely no less than Emperor Hongwu.

In my life, I am not as weak as human beings.

Based on this self-centered mentality, Zhu Di dared to compete with Lao Zhu.

Fear, non-existent.

Dad, the royal family has no affection!

Before profit, fathers and sons from ordinary people will turn against each other, not to mention two fathers and sons who are both emperors and are not very close to each other.

"With a commander-in-chief and governor-in-chief's affairs in all matters in war, our chances of winning will indeed be much higher."

"Zhu Houzhao's strength should not be underestimated. His military strength is no less than ours. Forming unified command is more conducive to the development of our military strength."

Zhu Biao, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Houcong and others did not have the charm of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, and all agreed with the election of a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

They may not be proficient in military affairs strategies, but they are not stupid and have a clear understanding of the situation.

The 13th dynasty coalition seemed to have many soldiers and generals, and the military strength was strong, but in fact, the quality was different and the combat power was different. If the unified command could not be formed, it would be just a mess of sand.

I used a plate of loose sand to fight Zhu Houzhao's elite army, and I didn't have to think about the result.

Putting aside the newly recruited recruits, the permanent troops of the Taiwu Dynasty are not soft persimmons.

Zhu Houzhao formed the Red Blood Dragon Cavalry, known as the Spear of Taiwu; Hu Dakui's Killing Wolf Corps, Qi Jiguang's Zhenhai Army, Yue Fei's Zhenyue Army, and Li Jing's Wuwei Army.

With the military configurations of the Five Military Camps, Shenji Camps, Sanqian Camps, Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, Yanshan Guards, Flagbear Guards, and Mansion Guards, it will not be easy for them to defeat Zhu Houzhao.

Therefore, it is very necessary to select a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the Thirteenth Dynasty to manage all strategic affairs.

Everyone agreed to select a commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. The eyes of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di flashed in their eyes. It was time to use their personal means.

"Ahem, in your opinion, which general is the most suitable general to serve as the commander-in-chief of this coalition?"

Lao Zhu coughed twice and said calmly.

However, his eyes frequently winked at Xu Da, hoping that Xu Da would recommend himself and gain the advantage of the first move.

Among the many generals, in terms of qualifications and achievements, few are comparable to Xu Da. If Xu Da recommends himself as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, no one dares to object.

"In my opinion, it's very suitable for me to go to Zhang Fu."

"Since Zhang Fu followed me, he would have to participate in any war and his ability was obvious to all. With him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, he would be able to unite the coalition forces and exert the combat power of the coalition forces to the limit."

Without giving Lao Zhu the opportunity to take the lead, Zhu Di did not hide his inner thoughts and recommended Zhang Fu as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Zhang Fu, the unquestionable number one general of the Yongle Dynasty, even his father Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, who followed Zhu Di to raise an army to recuse him, was inferior to him.

If Zhang Fu was allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, no one could find any reason to object.

"The British Duke is calm and steadfast and well-organized, and he is the best at serving as the commander-in-chief of the coalition."

Zhu Zhanji was the first to speak in response to Zhu Di's proposal.

"Address!"

"Address!"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Houcong's family all spoke out one after another, agreeing to let Zhang Fu serve as the commander-in-chief.

Zhang Fu was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, which was beneficial to Zhu Di and also guaranteed the entire Yongle line of emperors.

Zhu Houzhao was never the only one who unified the Ming Dynasty. It was the first one who could not help but expose his ambition and became the first one.

In order to prevent the birth of the second Zhu Houzhao, the authority of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces must not fall into the hands of Lao Zhu.

They are all smart people, and although they are tacitly understood, they are all very clear.

Lao Zhu's ambitions are absolutely not inferior to Zhu Houzhao. If Lao Zhu is given the opportunity to unify the Ming Dynasty, then their fate will definitely be worrying.

After all, in Lao Zhu's eyes, the emperors of Yongle and others were all rebellious, and they were able to gain the title only after seizing the orthodox lineage of Zhu Biao.

Prejudice is an invisible wall, invisible to the eyes, but it is real, separated by people's hearts.

The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty cooperated with each other for many years. Before Zhu Houzhao launched the War of Unification, although they were harmonious on the surface, people's hearts were separated from their belly. Who knows what their hearts were thinking?

In short, the Yongle and his emperors could not trust Lao Zhu, so they must be careful not to be humiliated.

Although Lao Zhu's limelight was stolen by Zhu Houzhao, many policies of the Hongwu Dynasty followed Zhu Houzhao to learn, but everyone did not dare to underestimate Lao Zhu at all. Most of the people who underestimated Emperor Hongwu went to the underworld to report it.

"Xu Da, the leader of our founding military generals in the Ming Dynasty, can be called the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It has the style of flying generals in the Dragon City and the extraordinary ability to command all the troops. When you are all the generals, who is stronger than Xu Da?"

Seeing that Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others supported Zhang Fu, Lao Zhu was a little anxious and hurriedly pulled Xu Da over and praised him for a moment, salivating at the authority of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

After obtaining the command of the coalition forces, he can also learn from Zhu Houzhao to engage in a unified war, and his chances of winning are even higher than Zhu Houzhao.

Command the 13th dynasty coalition forces, first defeat Zhu Houzhao, then turn around and overturn the emperors of Yongle, unify the entire Ming Dynasty, and the orthodox throne of the Ming Dynasty, and will eventually return to the embrace of the Hongwu system.

Ambition, Lao Zhu never lacks this thing.

Of course, there is another meaning to fight for the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, protect yourself.

Old Zhu never forgot that Zhu Houzhao was the descendant of Zhu Di, and was the Yongle line with a strong and beautiful woman. If Zhu Houzhao used methods to convince Zhu Di and others and caused the coalition forces to turn against each other, then everything would be done.

In order to preserve his own authority, Zhu Di and others will fight against Zhu Houzhao to the end. However, things in the world are impermanent, who dares to say that they are absolutely absolute?

In order to recover the orthodox throne and to protect themselves, Lao Zhu had to fight for the commander-in-chief of the coalition.

Before the war began, he began to plot. It was no wonder that Zhu Houzhao dared to use his strength to fight against the 13th dynasty coalition forces.

The Hongwu group and the Yongle group are suspicious and fearful of each other's disputes, and the common enemy Zhu Houzhao is still the descendant of Yongle's direct descendants, which leads to the Hongwu group and the Yongle group being unable to fully trust each other.

And this is also one of the biggest reasons why they eventually lost to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Di recommended British Duke Zhang Fu, and Lao Zhu recommended Great Wall Xu Da. Both of them wanted to push their own people to the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and they were determined to win and refused to give in to each other.

Finally, at Zhu Biao's suggestion, Zhang Fu and Xu Da were the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, thus balancing the contradiction between the Hongwu and the Yongle forces.

Lan Yu and Zhao Fu served as deputy commanders of the coalition forces respectively, and a group of generals from each dynasty followed the arrangements of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces decided and then discussed tactical strategies. Which army in which dynasty is responsible for the charge and which army in which dynasty is responsible for the logistics support, all need to be planned in advance.

As for tactics and tactics, the gray prairie is endless, with no mountains, rivers, hills, and no dangers. The only tactic is to fight head-on.

The purpose of Lao Zhu and others to choose the battlefield in the gray prairie was to fight head-on and prevent Zhu Houzhao from using some insulting methods.
