Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"The prince should also invite Duke Cao to come into the city to rest for a while. Camping outside the city is not as comfortable as inside the city. If he is willing, I will cook for him and entertain him."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi agreed to go to his seventeenth uncle's place, Zhang Xin made another suggestion.

"Then let's just have a family dinner tonight."

Zhu Gaochi was too lazy to run between the two, as one was his aunt and the other was his cousin.

Let's just have a pot together and have everyone come to the palace for a meal.

We are all relatives anyway.

"Okay, I'll have someone give the order."

Zhang Xin nodded in agreement.

After Zhu Gaochi left, the whole room became quiet.

Zhang Xin found his own fool stamp and stamped himself with a few more.

Stupidity is innate.

Even the passage of time cannot turn a fool into a wise man.

Fortunately, the people in Prince Yan’s Mansion are all smart.

~~~~

At this point in the battle, Zhang Xin was certain.

In his previous life, my father-in-law did not get in touch with these military people in the capital in advance.

So, although they actually gave away horses and heads in various ways, the battle was still very thrilling.

In the process of testing each other, my father-in-law escaped death several times.

In this life, starting from the beginning with Grandpa Geng, this trend is very strange. . .

Mr. Geng chose a place a little far away from the outskirts of Peking to fight. After giving his life, he patted his butt and left without leaving.

Li Jinglong took over and rushed to Peking with a large number of sleeves to replace the shift.

My father-in-law ran away to Prince Ning just like he did in his previous life.

In the previous life, there really weren't many troops in Beiping. If my father-in-law stayed in Beiping and defended it, he would be dead. Only by taking down Prince Ning and bringing his 100,000 troops could we break the situation of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court. Leaving Zhu Gaochi, my mother-in-law and her in Beiping was completely a last resort, and it was also a way to win in danger.

In this life, my father-in-law's only purpose is to rescue Prince Ning and join forces with Prince Ning's troops.

Because of the prestige of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the Yan army captured almost all the places around Peking without bloodshed within twenty days.

In order not to waste manpower, when Li Jinglong's army arrived, all the cities around Peking that had been captured by his father-in-law remained stationed, allowing Li Jinglong to lead his army in.

After the Southern Army set up camp outside the city of Peking, all roads leading to the capital were blocked.

Arriving in Peiping does not mean starting to attack the city. There are countless things to do before attacking the city.

It would take at least a month just to reassemble the siege equipment outside the city.

Detecting the enemy, eliminating ambushes, and so on all take time.

In his previous life, Li Jinglong took more than a month before he actually started attacking the city.

In this life, when the entire military leadership knew what they were there for, there was almost no preparation for siege.

Anyway, whatever happened in the entire Yan area was written down in advance by the military clerks.

For example, when Jinglong was besieging Peking, the governor Qu Neng and his two sons attacked the Zhangye Gate, and the city was about to fall. The Yan thieves fought desperately to defend the city, but failed.

Another example is the sudden cold, the soldiers were defeated and half of them were sick.

Also - in November, the Yan bandits flooded the city walls, making it difficult for our army to climb and making it very difficult to attack the city.

There were also various people in the Southern Army who fought bravely and died for their country.

The scene of the old and young, women and children in Peking all climbing up the city walls was tragic and majestic.

Because most of the civil servants in the army either died in battle or died of illness, the temporary clerks who were not very knowledgeable wrote the battle reports in a rather sloppy manner, so Zhu Gaochi took them back to the Yan De Palace for various revisions.

In the end, the court will receive a mix of good news and bad news.

In short, the battle was difficult and the casualties were heavy.

In fact, the fighting was in full swing both inside and outside the city of Peking, and the casualties were indeed tragic.

"What are you eating today?"

"mutton--"

"Fuck, your food is better than ours!"

"Come and fight if you don't agree!"

People on both sides, one at the foot of the city and the other on the city wall, competed every day for the day's meals, and there were endless incidents of private fights on the city towers and at the city gates.

It was the best season in Peking, neither too hot nor too cold. After the fight, the two teams got together to have a barbecue.

It couldn't be more harmonious.

This time, Xu didn't have to go up the city wall. In the entire Prince of Yan's Mansion, only Zhu Gaochi would take Zhu Zhanji for a stroll when he had nothing to do, and he would also eat some mutton skewers in the name of Zhu Zhanji asking for food.

Before leaving, I reminded them that the weather was hot and humid, so they should remember to extinguish the charcoal fire and be careful to prevent fire.

However, Zhang Xin didn't know whether Li Jinglong would do the same as in his previous life and delay for two months until his father-in-law returned from Prince Ning before fleeing to Jinan in defeat.

Although Li Jinglong was honored as a hero for the Jingnan Campaign by his father-in-law during the Yongle reign and died of old age, his reputation was indeed tarnished by himself.

Comparing Zhang Xin's two lives, Li Jinglong was a wonderful man.

The kind that is indescribable.

Anyone who really thinks that Li Jinglong can't fight and is a fool, then the person who thinks so is the real fool.

On the contrary, without determining his own position, Li Jinglong grasped the winning and losing nodes of the entire battle and Zhu Yunwen's mentality just right.

According to Zhang Xin's speculation, Li Jinglong was not very loyal to Zhu Yunwen, nor did he favor his father-in-law. He just stood on the position of whether the entire Li family could escape unscathed.

Few of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty had a good end. The Li family was considered lucky to have survived until the new emperor ascended the throne.

Now the new emperor is fighting with his uncle, and he is an outsider who is involved in a life-and-death fight. No matter who he hurts, when the matter is settled later, he will be blamed for ten thousand years.

Therefore, Li Jinglong was just slacking off all the time, and was mostly just watching from the sidelines in order not to offend either side.

Zhang Xin later read some records written by historians.

The first one was that the general under Li Jinglong, Qu Neng, almost broke through the Zhangye Gate, but Li Jinglong ordered a retreat.

The historian interpreted this as Li Jinglong fearing that his achievements would be taken away by others. He was also worried that his father-in-law had not left, and that the broken city gate might be a fraud.

But as Li Jinglong was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, there was no question of Li Jinglong's credit being taken away from him. All the credit for the people under him belonged to him, the commander-in-chief.

How could the scout not know that my father-in-law had left Peking?

The second thing was that after my father-in-law returned, Zhang Yu defeated seven camps of the Southern Army in a row. Zhu Gaochi also beat drums in the city to respond, causing great chaos in the Southern Army's morale.

Then Li Jinglong actually ran away by himself, ignoring the fact that the Southern Army was attacking the city, and ran away with his personal guards!!!

The historian's evaluation was cowardice. This silky behavior of giving people and horses no room for maneuver can be interpreted as cowardice, which is also very talented.

The most interesting thing is that even though he was defeated and returned to the capital, Zhu Yunwen did not blame him. He even felt that the reason Li Jinglong was defeated was because he did not have enough power and the various parties could not strictly follow military orders.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen gave Li Jinglong the "yellow axe, bow and arrow" and gave him the power to "conquer wars".

In April of the following year, Li Jinglong, veteran general Guo Ying, Anlu Hou Wu Jie and others joined forces in Zhending, with a total of about 600,000 troops, and stationed at Baigou River.

From the great defeat in November to April of the following year, a full five or six months,

How did Li Jinglong make Zhu Yunwen firmly trust his abilities and continue to entrust him with important tasks?

In addition, Li Jinglong was really eloquent and really understood Zhu Yunwen.

Except Zhu Yunwen and the people around him are all idiots.

There can be no other reason.
