On the west bank of Xiangjiang River, countless warships were anchored.
Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry brigade all the way over and saw a long fleet lying on the riverside, and he didn't know how many miles it stretched; he estimated that there were at least hundreds of warships alone!
The grand team on the shore covers the sky with dust and fog, and the navy on the land covers the Xiangjiang River. The scene is very magnificent!
The government troops under Zhang Fu's command suddenly mutiny. This was unexpected, and they did not even arrive at the reserved place.
Therefore, the Han Wangjun failed to catch up with the good show. When the main force of the horse team arrived, everything was over!
Looking at the surrounding scene, the situation seemed to be completely controlled... Otherwise, the official navy would not have docked on the west coast; they were at the position where the infantry and cavalry on the land of the Han Wang Army could attack, and obviously completely gave up the practice of resistance.
But before this, the official navy seemed to have had internal conflicts; some burned warships were floating on the river, and the embers were still smoking.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the wide Xiangjiang River and could vaguely see the formation of the official army's land division.
The two soldiers who had fought to death were now close at this time, but there was no more fighting.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw the official army army division on the other side, he raised his hand and shouted: Stop moving!
The generals then sent orders and shouted, and the long horses in various units gradually slowed down.
After waiting for a while, a warship on the Xiangjiang River slowly sailed over.
After a while, the warship landed and a ladder was laid down; a group of warriors got off the deck, and they jumped into shallow water and wade towards the shore.
As those people gradually moved closer, Zhu Gaoxu had already recognized the person in the middle as Zhang Fu.Zhu Gaoxu didn't know the people around Zhang Fu.Chen Dahui immediately stepped forward and said a few words to Zhang Fu and others.
The generals of the government army all untied their weapons and handed them over to Chen Dachui, and then continued to walk towards Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse's back, staring at the visitor, waiting motionlessly.
For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu was in a strange mood.
The father of the Marshal Zhang in front of him died in battle for Emperor Yongle, and he died tragically at that time, all of them were covered with blood. In the Battle of Jingnan and the Battle of Annan, everyone was also brothers who shared life, death, honor and disgrace.
Then in the past two years, Zhang Fu was simply one of the most critical figures against Zhu Gaoxu, and he wanted to kill Zhu Gaoxu and then...
Zhang Fu approached and suddenly knelt on one knee and said: The guilty general Zhang Fu, pay homage to His Highness the King of Han!The crime will help the evil and regret it. I come to apologize and ask His Highness the King of Han to punish him.Sin will be worthy of sin, and there will be no complaints!
The generals next to them knelt on one knee and saluted: The generals of the crime are asked to punish the King of Han...
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu almost laughed out loud!
He was sitting on the horse's back just now, and then he turned over, stepped forward and helped Zhang Fu up with his own hands, and said: Navy, I have always dreamed of.Now General Zhang has made great contributions to the "Suppressing the Crime Army" and has been able to make up for it.But your title of Duke of England is illegal.
Zhang Fu said very consciously: The general of sin was confused at the beginning. It was a great kindness for the King of Han to not kill him. I would like to ask for a title to be reduced!
After saying that, he turned his head and stretched out his hand, took a wooden box from his subordinates, and presented it with both hands and said: There will be a fine gift for the sin, and I will present it to His Highness the King of Han!Please accept it with a smile on His Highness the King of Han.
Chen Dachui immediately stepped forward to take the wooden box, opened it first, and then held it in front of Zhu Gaoxu with both hands.Zhu Gaoxu smelled a bloody smell and looked closely and saw a bloody head inside!
Zhu Gaoxu frowned and looked carefully for a while, and recognized it as the head of Jin Zhong, the Minister of War!He laughed unexpectedly.
Zhang Fu said: The matter was exposed in advance, and the general had no choice but to kill Jin Zhong, and a hasty mutiny!
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhang Fu, waved his hand gently to Chen Dachui and take the head away.Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while, as if he had forgotten the matter of the head. He continued to talk about the title just now and said quietly: This is not the reason.Although my elder brother is the eldest son of the late emperor, he ruled the world with filial piety in the Ming Dynasty. His ancestor was killed by traitors in the Eastern Palace, so my elder brother's throne was illegal!My elder brother granted you the Duke of England, which is of course invalid.
Before the great cause of the "Jingnan Battle" was completed, my father died in the middle of the Tao and died for the advanced emperor. Naturally, he could not get the title before his death, so he posthumously named "Duke Rongguo".I think it is a more appropriate way to let you inherit the Duke of Rong after the court ministers discuss it in the future.
Ah?Zhang Fu looked surprised.
Zhu Gaoxu reached out and patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder. General Zhang had fought side by side with me, you know me.
Zhang Fu couldn't speak for a moment, looking thoughtful, as if he was thinking about Zhu Gaoxu's words just now.
His face was very surprised, but there was not much happiness at this time... Zhang Fu not only understood the battle formation, but perhaps he understood that things were far from that simple.
Zhu Gaoxu looked back and pointed at the white-faced man on the left side of Zhang Fu: Are you Liu Sheng?
The great man hurriedly said: The sinner Liu Sheng paid homage to His Highness the King of Han!
Zhu Gaoxu nodded in approval.
He then rushed to the riverside with his horse, and the surrounding guards also followed him immediately.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and shouted: Dear Ming soldiers, I, the king and you, were brothers who shared the joys and sorrows, and now it is again!Our Ming official army is determined to be in all countries and kill each other, and the days of killing each other will soon end!
There were gradually shouts coming from the warships far and near.
...On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the soldiers of the main cavalry to gradually control the warships and naval officers and soldiers on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.
Zhu Gaoxu ignored the surrendered troops of the Land Division on the other side of the shore; he only asked Liu Sheng to return to command the surrendered troops on the east coast.
To this day, Zhu Gaoxu did not take the official army of Huguang Province seriously. The only thing that could make him worry about was the navy.
The main force of the Han Wang Army battalions will not be able to reach this place as soon as tomorrow.Today, the Han Wang army's central army camped on the riverside, waiting for the subsequent battalions to arrive.
At night, several generals of the Han Wang Army, Mr. Li and others came to the cavalry camp on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately summoned his confidant civil and military affairs to discuss matters.
When everyone came, he said directly: I have an idea... In the past few days, I have selected tens of thousands of elite soldiers and warriors, and from here I took naval warships and walked down the Xiangjiang River and the river. After the trip, I went straight to the capital in more than ten days!
There was a silence in the big tent.
Zhu Gaoxu took a look at Sheng Yong, but Sheng Yong didn't say it again tonight. This was a gambling or something.
However, Zhu Gaoxu knew it in his mind that he seemed to want to take a gamble again!
He succeeded in the previous few big bets, and he felt that he had a great chance of winning this time!
Mr. Li bowed and finally spoke: Prince, as far as the officials know, Yongle initially has 70 guards stationed in the capital!It is planned that the emperor personally had 22 guards and 48 guards in the Jing camp.The total force is more than 400,000!
At the beginning of the "Prevention of Crimes", the puppet dynasty first mobilized 100,000 Jingying camps to Huguang Province, and then mobilized 300,000 garrison troops from all over the country and gathered 400,000 troops in Huguang.
Later, the puppet dynasty lost three southwestern provinces and Wu Gao was defeated and lost 100,000 troops; the puppet court probably transferred more than 100,000 troops from the capital to reinforce Huguang, which led to the main force of the Land Division led by Zhang Fu and gathered more than 400,000 troops in Huguang Province!
At this time, there were at least personal troops and the capital camp, with a total of more than 100,000 people.The situation has been tense recently, and the puppet court should be able to mobilize some people from all provinces near the left of the capital.Therefore, the officials estimated that the capital could still gather between more than 100,000 and 200,000 troops.
Zhu Gaoxu said: The main force of the enemy navy surrendered, the world was shaken and people were in turmoil.As long as I lead my army to the city, even if there are more than 100,000 troops in the capital, it will be useless.
Mr. Li nodded gently and said: What the prince said is very true.But the officials thought there was still a little danger.
Although the main force of the enemy navy surrendered, there were still some naval warships remaining on the rivers in Jingzhou, Wuchang and other places.The warships we have now need to be transferred out to fight in the water or to force the remnants of the enemy navy.
Although the remaining warships are numerous, if they are used to transport soldiers, horses, food, military supplies, and firearms, they may be able to transport up to 50,000 or 60,000 people at a time.If I rushed to the capital, the disparity in the army was too great, and I would not be sure of winning.
At this time, Qu Neng said: Our army is like a war coming to the capital, and there are many people who want to surrender and seek credit for the pseudo-department. The king and minister of the pseudo-department may not defend the city, otherwise the city gate will be lost and the city will be lost!Finally, we will guess that the remaining main forces will be mobilized in the Korean Central Committee to fight to the decisive battle with our vanguard.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Qu Neng, General Qu's guess made sense!
Sheng Yong clasped his fists and said: The last general is willing to be the vanguard, lead his army to take a boat to the east and defeat the main force of the enemy in the capital!
Zhu Gaoxu said: I want to lead the army personally and win the final battle to conquer the "Battle of Crime"!Although the enemy's personal guards and the Beijing camp were well-clad and well-armed, their morale was completely depressed and the soldiers were depressed. Our vanguard attacked the crowd with few, and his chances of victory were still very high!
Everyone was talking, and Mr. Li once again dissuaded Zhu Gaoxu from expeditioning himself, but only to pass on the general.
Zhu Gaoxu insisted on his own opinion: As Mr. Li said, this battle may still be a little risky in the capital area with few rivals.With the current trend, since I want to win quickly, how can I be afraid of tigers and wolves?You must win in one battle, and you cannot create troubles, and then let the situation go back and forth.
He slapped his thigh and said: That's it!All the main forces of the criminal army were divided into three groups.
After selecting and mobilizing elite troops, the king led the vanguard army, and took the navy to the east, with Ping'an and Wang Bin as deputy; the main army in the middle line, with Governor Qu as generals, led the army to advance along the river by land.The rear army, with General Sheng as the head commander, led the rear army to guard the officials and families of various offices of the Han Palace. After hearing the news of the victory of the vanguard, they set out from Hengzhou and headed to the capital.
Everyone bowed: The last general (the second official) is waiting for the order!
According to this strategy, as long as the vanguard army boards the ship, the vanguard enters the river from Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake; then along the river to the capital, the actual sailing time may only be more than ten days.
But the main force of the central army took the nearest land route and along the river, and it took about two months to walk alone.
In the early stage, they may have to be more troublesome, and they have to persuade the officials and defenders along the way to surrender; once the vanguard of the Han Wang army invades the capital, the remaining time and the central army will have to walk and march.
Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry brigade all the way over and saw a long fleet lying on the riverside, and he didn't know how many miles it stretched; he estimated that there were at least hundreds of warships alone!
The grand team on the shore covers the sky with dust and fog, and the navy on the land covers the Xiangjiang River. The scene is very magnificent!
The government troops under Zhang Fu's command suddenly mutiny. This was unexpected, and they did not even arrive at the reserved place.
