At this time, Zhu Zhen didn't know that his backyard might catch fire at any time.
It was already quiet in Dali City late at night, and there was no one on the empty streets.
This allowed Zhu Zhu to gallop wildly, with only the crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the floor tiles.
"Your Highness, please slow down, don't fall," Wang Fu chased after him, but he could never keep up with Zhu Xi's speed.
Because the horse given to Zhu Zhen was not only an old horse in the army, but also a good horse. It was both humane and fast. It was not something that Wang Fu could catch up with.
Not long after, Zhu Zhen had arrived in front of the city gate.
Close to Dingbian is the North City Gate. At this time, the city gate has already been opened, and even Li Shuran is guarding in front of it.
"Your Highness," Li Shuran saw Zhu Chu approaching on horseback, clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
Some people say that this may be the first time that Li Shuran paid such a serious visit to Zhu Zhen.
Li Shuran is a very standard rotten scholar and angry youth, and he has a stubborn temper. For example, he almost died in a head-on collision before because Zhu Xi risked his life to remonstrate with him.
It is difficult to make him so convinced.
"Master Li? What are you doing? Those who don't know would think you are paying tribute to me in advance," Zhu Zhen sat on the horse and raised his hand in the air.
Li Shuran rolled his eyes and straightened up. That's called condolences. What is condolences? Your father is dead? I’m not afraid that Emperor Hongwu will chop you down.
By the way, he is the son of Emperor Hongwu. Emperor Hongwu will definitely not kill him, so that's why he is so generous.
"Your Highness is wise and powerful, and knows the righteousness well. However, this battle is extremely dangerous. If something cannot be done, please do not be reluctant to fight, Your Highness. If you make a mistake, it will be a loss for the entire Yundi and even the entire Ming Dynasty," Li Shuran's That's a lot of praise.
Even Zhu Xi was a little surprised.
Did Mr. Li take the wrong medicine at night? Or drank too much?
Perhaps even Zhu Xi himself had almost forgotten that he was only twelve years old at this time.
A prince who is so responsible at the age of twelve deserves such praise from Li Shuran.
Besides, he is only twelve years old, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a promising future.
Except for Zhu Zhen, who is a little eccentric and out-of-touch, he often likes to let himself go, even going so far as to commit suicide crazily before the gate of hell.
But more often than not, Zhu Zhen is more reliable than his other brothers.
Zhu Ming shook his head. Of course he knew what Li Shuran had told him, but it was impossible to say that I knew about it in this situation. I would run away if I couldn't beat him.
That's outrageous.
So Zhu Ming said: "Master Li, after I go to war, I will leave 10,000 defenders. In addition, there are more than 1,000 guards in Dali City, which is enough for you to defend the city. I will leave Dali to you. Now, you have to protect the people of this city for me. Even if you hear the news that my king is dead, you don’t need to care. Even if someone catches me, ties me up and asks you to open the door, I will definitely Don’t drive. Do you understand?”
Li Shuran was shocked, looking up at Zhu Ming in disbelief and extremely moved.
Even Wang Fu, who finally caught up behind him, looked sideways at Zhu Chu and felt that Zhu Chu's back was so tall and majestic.
Zhu Zhen held his head high, lightly tapped the horse's belly with his foot, and the horse slowly walked out of the door.
Of course, Zhu Zhen was confident that the worst case would not happen.
Just kidding, he has a big pineapple by his side. If this fails miserably or even gets caught, he might as well just die on the battlefield.
Otherwise, when he comes back, he will be beaten to death with tofu.
Shame on you, that's so shameful.
Outside the city, when Zhu Chu came out of the city gate, he saw countless people gathered outside.
An army of 50,000 doesn't seem to be much from the numbers.
But in fact, when 50,000 people actually stood in front of them, it was an extremely difficult situation.
If you think about it, a concert with more than 10,000 people would be considered a large-scale concert. If it reaches 50,000 people, it would be considered a phenomenon.
But now, Zhu Ming is enjoying the treatment of a superstar, and all 50,000 people are watching Zhu Ming silently.
Although it was late at night, no one lit torches, only the troops lined up quietly under the moonlight.
From this unit, it can be seen that the quality of the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty was really high.
Zhu Ming rode his horse to look at the entire army, took a deep breath, and shouted: "My Ming cavalry is invincible in the world. Whether it is destroying Chen Youliang or fighting Zhang Shicheng, I have never been afraid. Ten years ago, an army of 300,000 troops laid waste to Yunnan. How majestic was it?" "
"Now there are those capricious villains who dare to rebel? They are seeking their own death."
"Today, my king is about to lead the expedition in person. When you go into battle to fight the enemy, I will not hide behind you. Even if I cannot take the lead, you can look back at any time. I will never abandon you."
Zhu Ming's words slowly ignited morale.
Whether it was the glorious achievements of the Ming army, the confidence to conquer Yunnan, or the fact that Zhu Zhen, as a prince, fought with them, the soldiers' breathing gradually became faster and their faces turned red.
Although it has entered late autumn, everyone does not feel cold. Instead, they feel hot all over and are even trembling slightly with excitement.
Wang Fu sighed silently, Your Highness, the personal conquest of the emperor refers to His Majesty the Emperor. You used the wrong word.
But at this time, Wang Fu didn't dare to disturb his interest, so he just pretended that he didn't hear anything.
Zhu Ming had never been so mobilized. In the end, even he became excited and was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. He waved his big hand and shouted loudly: "Today we will make great achievements. The whole army is on its way."
The 50,000-strong army acted quickly as if they were one man.
Because they had to listen to Zhu Zhen's mobilization just now, the rear army turned into the front army, and the front army became the rear army. As the soldiers at the front began to move forward, the army also moved with it.
Outside the city gate, Li Shuran bowed deeply again and shouted: "I wish your highness to win the battle and bring peace to Yunnan again."
"Hahahaha," Zhu Xi looked up and laughed without looking back, leaving only a string of laughter.
Li Shuran kept watching the army until he was blocked by the night and could no longer see it. Then he turned around and asked the soldiers to close the door tightly.
At the same time, Li Shuran also issued an order: "I will obey the order of King Min. The autumn harvest has been completed outside Dali City. Next, Dali City will lock its gates and no one can go out. No one is allowed in or out. Be especially careful with the natives to prevent anyone from colluding with the bad guys. .”
So starting from this night, the four gates of Dali City were completely sealed.
When Dao Gan Meng came happily and led his army, he was dumbfounded.
Of course, that’s a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.
On the other side, Zhu Min had already set off with the army and rode to the central army.
The rear army marched slowly because they had to carry food, grass and baggage.
Although there is going to be a big battle this time, it is not an expeditionary force after all, so there is no need to bring too much food and baggage.
To put it bluntly, once this battle begins, no one may have confidence in how many people will survive and whether they can win, except perhaps Zhu Xi, who is carrying a big pineapple.
But even so, they still followed Zhu Zhen into the battle.
Zhu Ming suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn't help shouting: "How can I say that without clothes, I share the same robe with you? When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you."
The momentum of the whole army became even higher.
However, Zhao Kuo, who was also in the Chinese army, quietly said to Zhu Zhen: "Your Highness, you are the king."
"go away."
