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

"My eldest cousin, if you leave 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, Beijing should be able to support itself. As long as God gives us some face and the weather continues to be good and prosperous."

Zhu Gaochi roughly counted the food he had.

"Half a year or a year?"

Li Jinglong could tell that the grain reserves were just the right amount, and it all depended on the weather.

"Half a year is guaranteed, but a year is hard to say."

Zhu Gaochi was mainly afraid that people from Kaiping and Daning would also come to Beiping.

Prince Ning was under house arrest, and his father led his army north to rescue him. The people of the Great Ning Guard must have come back with him.

Kaiping Guard was abolished by Zhu Yunwen, and the common people living around the guard must have been afraid.

As soon as the people stationed at the border left, any civilian with a quick mind would run away immediately.

If people from these two places continue to flock to Beijing, the food supply will be difficult to guarantee.

Although prices in Peking rose slightly this year due to the disaster in Shandong, they were still within the range that ordinary people could afford.

No matter how many people come, this peace will always be disturbed.

Another thing is that people will continue to come from Shandong.

If this war continues, Shandong will be caught in the middle, so how can the people not run away?

"Then, I'll leave the people to you and help you get some food?"

Li Jinglong thought about it and suggested.

"What to do, brother tells me, I listen."

Zhu Gaochi listened attentively, but he didn't know how to fight a war and didn't understand much about these things.

Li Jinglong stood up and discussed this and that with Zhu Gaochi using the small sand table in the study, and soon decided on the following matters.

Before the King of Yan arrived, he made a feint attack.

The army was about to capture Peking, but because they were worried about Zhu Gaochi's empty city plan, they arranged for the army to retreat 15 miles and set up camp again.

Just at this time, Prince Yan returned with Prince Ning's army of 300,000, and the soldiers hiding in Beiping City also came out in full force.

Being attacked from both sides, the Southern Army was defeated and fled, leaving behind some food and supplies, and some people who died under the city of Peking.

The direction and destination of the defeated Southern Army's escape were initially determined to be Baihexi and Zhengcunba.

By that time, the morale of the Southern Army collapsed, and a large number of soldiers were "killed in battle" or "missing". In the chaos, food and supplies were "lost" because they had no time to take care of them.

Li Jinglong would take the remaining remnants and run to Dezhou in one breath, replenish his troops in Dezhou, and then retreat to Jinan.

This Dezhou is where Li Jinglong plans to get grain.

"There is a granary in Dezhou that can store more than one million dan of grain. I will take all the soldiers from Dezhou away, and you can send people to move them back. It will be no problem to feed an army of one or two million or eight hundred thousand for a year or two. The sooner this is done, the better."

Li Jinglong finally made the final point.

"How do you plan to explain this to that person?"

Zhu Gaochi was only worried about Li Jinglong.

"I'm not going to explain anything. My father didn't want me to go to the battlefield since I was young. He had already determined my fate. It's just talk and no action. Now I'm going to win. How rare!"

It was only after this incident that Li Jinglong figured out what was going on.

Why didn't his father teach him well?

He was also allowed to hang out with those playboys in the capital, clearly not wanting him to gain any military merit.

This time, Jianwen has secured the title of "God of War".

"Haha, the old man has foresight."

Zhu Gaochi was very happy.

"Zhu Yunwen has no one to use! Mr. Geng, withdraw. The Xu family is your relative. He can only use Mr. Guo at most. But Mr. Guo is old. Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are jumping up and down every day. None of them dares to leave the capital. I guess when I lose the battle and retreat to Jinan, they will force me to have a military supervisor to watch over me. From now on, whoever leads the army must have a civil official as a military supervisor. It's a pity for those soldiers who know nothing."

Li Jinglong was not the kind of person who had to achieve great things. Standing outside the situation, he had a clear view of it.

This was the first time he had exploited a loophole, and the people he brought with him knew each other well. The emperor was far away, so they had battle reports on every outcome.

He brought these 500,000 people out alive, and those who stayed in Peking were also alive.

It will not be possible to release water on such a large scale in the future, and some people will die.

Zhu Gaochi could sense Li Jinglong's depression, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He could only pat Li Jinglong on the shoulder to comfort him, then stood up and bowed seriously:

"The military supervisor will come sooner or later. When the fighting starts, it will be a bloody battle. My father is old, so I need your help to do something."

"What?"

Li Jinglong was frightened by Zhu Gaochi's seriousness and took two steps back.

"It's not a big deal, just a verbal order."

This was the idea proposed by Zhang Xin. At first, I was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, even Zhu Gaochi applauded.

"Oral order? Fake Zhu Yunwen's oral order?"

Li Jinglong didn't understand.

"After this, before the battle begins, you must tell the other generals what my cousin told you in private: Now that you soldiers are facing the King of Yan, do not let me bear the reputation of having killed your uncle."

Zhu Gaochi touched his nose and smiled evilly.

"Oh my god - it's high. It's really high."

Li Jinglong couldn't help but blurt out a swear word.

Who the hell came up with this stupid idea?

It also fits perfectly.

You, Zhu Yunwen, just love to pretend, have been pretending since you were a child, taking care of the former crown prince when he was seriously ill, carrying the excrement and urine of the late emperor, and doing anything for a good reputation!!!

Once this sentence is spread, people will believe that it was said by Zhu Yunwen.

A typical example of having both.

It can be interpreted differently in the eyes of different people.

I don't want to kill my own uncle with my own hands, so please don't send him to me to kill. It's better to kill him on the battlefield.

I don't want to kill my uncle, so whoever of you kills my uncle will suffer the consequences when you come back.

Even if they had the chance to get close to the King of Yan, they would not dare to strike him in the fatal spot - the Emperor must capture him alive!!!

If they misunderstood, and the King of Yan died, wouldn't they be in trouble? It's better to catch him alive to be on the safe side!

No matter what everyone thinks, on the battlefield, life and death is sometimes just a matter of a moment. If this person has any hesitation, the outcome will be very different.

This is definitely the Prince of Yan’s life-saving trick!

"My wife thought of this! Isn't it amazing! I'll ask my brother, Mr. Geng, my uncle, and Mr. Guo to tell the people in the army to say this."

Zhu Gaochi was very proud.

"Well, your whole family is full of smart people! Your cousin is unlucky to have met you guys."

Li Jinglong flattered him sincerely.

"If he doesn't bother with these things, I won't bother with him. We are living so comfortably in Beijing."

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips.

They also couldn't imagine that the grandson chosen by the emperor's grandfather could be so stupid.

Whether it is reducing the power of the feudal lords or making use of civil officials, these things are bound to happen.

No dynasty could afford to support a large royal family, nor could it allow a vassal state to dominate.

Civil officials are indeed better than military officials in managing state affairs.

But he took such drastic measures right from the start, which was a waste of all the support his grandfather had given him for so many years, and ended up with a fool who was led by the nose by others.

"That's true. Peking is a very respectable city."

Li Jinglong agreed very much.

These families have all suffered so much, what else can they do?

Military men have always believed that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. They have never played tricks on others, so if they lose, they lose. As long as they can still make a living, they will just make do with it.

But from Zhu Yunwen's attitude, it was obvious to the civil officials that he wanted to kill him all.

Let the remaining military heroes fight to the death with the princes who have troops, and both sides will suffer losses, and they will reap the benefits.

This made the four families feel that their aunt could no longer bear it.
