Chapter 632 Judy: How dare you! You actually cheated on me!
At this time, in the early years of the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang, with a dark face, glared fiercely at the little Zhu Di, who was huddled in Zhu Biao's arms.
"I've only lived to be seventy-one (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning), so where did this 'Hongwu thirty-five' come from?!" Old Zhu cursed angrily. This is a classic case of trying to cover something up, and this isn't how you play the game!
Little Zhu Di shrank back and retorted softly, "It wasn't me who did it. He probably wanted...Father...to witness it...Big Zhu Di, it's not easy for you either..."
Zhu Biao sighed: "Father, my fourth brother went from being a mere prince to the ruler of a country. He struggled on the brink of life and death countless times. It was truly not easy. Let's listen to the live broadcast first before we talk about it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di felt relieved. Seeing the brotherly affection and respect between them, Old Zhu was furious. It turned out that he was the only one who deserved to be called a father!
……
"Looking at the Jingnan Rebellion, Jianwen has suffered so much in the face of the Yan army's actions that he is a little panicked, but it's not much. The outcome is still uncertain, and my nephew is unwilling to admit defeat!"
"For example, as mentioned earlier, Yang Wen from Liaodong and Fang Zhao from Shanxi, who gave Judy a lot of headaches, took Jianwen's orders, broke through the defense line, and robbed many people from the Yan Prince's controlled area."
“In particular, Fang Zhao led his troops into the pass from Zijing Mountain and set up a large camp, Xishui Village, based on the terrain northwest of Baoding.”
"These days, even the imperial army is starting to snatch people. It's still the ordinary people who suffer. Jianwen's goal is probably to deplete the population of the Yan Prince's region and wage a war of attrition! He's also harassing the Yan Prince's rear, since they can't beat the Yan Prince in a straight fight!"
"To get to this point, the central government needs to examine its own reasons. It's no longer possible to act as it did back then, taking things lightly and continuing to be reckless."
Upon hearing this, the Wanchao people fell silent. The Prince of Yan fought through the blood rain, stepping over countless Ming soldiers' corpses. His trusted generals fell, his personal guards fell, and even though the cold wind was biting and the river was bottomless, he walked through them all.
Were the imperial army wrong? No, they were simply acting on the emperor's orders.
But alas, it was not up to them. So many people perished in the Jingnan Campaign, their blood flowing everywhere. The blood-soaked bodies that had not yet fallen formed a wall of flesh, but they could no longer stop the Prince of Yan's advance.
The Prince of Yan, the man later known as the Yongle Emperor, who led five expeditions to the northern deserts.
They seem to be born leaders.
……
"Meanwhile, the Prince of Yan is very unhappy with his nephew's underhanded tricks. It's always Judy who steals from the enemy base, but you're here stealing from him today!"
Zhu Yunwen's face turned as black as ink. What do you mean by stealing people? She clearly moved house with our army!
If we allow the Prince of Yan to launch a surprise attack from behind, why can't we allow him to "take" some of the population from the Prince of Yan's territory?!
If the people of the Ming Dynasty could actually hear his inner grumbling, they would definitely slap him—what a shameless person! How can that be the same?
Your fourth uncle robbed your imperial court's grain supplies, but you, on the contrary, turned your attention to innocent people like us!
This is bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
"Therefore, Zhu Di had no choice but to temporarily put aside the grain and fodder in Dezhou and Zhengding, since they would all be his in the future anyway, and led the main force back to Beiping."
"During this process, the Prince of Yan also sent Liu Jiang to beat up the Ping An and other cavalry who appeared in Baoding and looted in the Yan army's territory, to teach them a lesson!"
"In this battle, Liu Jiang and the Beiping garrison joined forces to block Ping An. As a result, the Liaodong cavalry could not defeat Liu Jiang and his men, and they captured several thousand warhorses."
"As for the results of Liu Jiang's part, it was actually Judy's idea. It seems that if you compete with him in a war, you will lose. The probability of winning is really not high."
Judy: You lost terribly when you tried to fight me!
