Boyan Timur has already left with 10,000 troops and horses from his headquarters, and the rest are all Yexian's troops and horses, that is, the main force of 50,000 Walas.
However, the origins of these people are also different. There was quite a group of people, about ten thousand, who turned out to be members of Alazhiyuan, Totuobuhua, Polo and others, and they were selected first to be under his command.
Therefore, he could not bear the persistence of the generals, so he chose to let these soldiers who were not his direct descendants to attack tentatively first.
First, he did not leave the camp, but only went to the watchtower to watch the battle.
Now it is definitely out of the question to capture the capital. The Oara army has not built any siege equipment at all, and it is too late to build them now. There were still ten days of rations in total. Before the siege equipment was built, the rations were eaten up.
The only hope was to attack the Ming army outside the city. But the Wala army exposed another fatal flaw: it had no artillery.
As long as the Ming army formed a large formation and defended it like a hedgehog, it would be impossible to attack without artillery.
The most important thing is that the gap in numbers is too big. The Ming army was anxious to gather 250,000 people, but Wala only had 50,000 people. No matter how elite they are, they can't stand five people killing one person.
If a total of 60,000 troops from Alazhiyuan and Totuobuhua were mobilized, they could still have a fight with the Ming army. Unfortunately, these two people have already separated.
Ye Xian's army formed a total of four 10,000-strong troops, which went out to form the camp. Among them, three 10,000-strong troops were used to contain the Ming army, and one 10,000-strong army was responsible for testing the attack.
Xu Heng, Shi Heng, and Fan Guang followed the strategies that Zhu Qiyu had ordered in advance, and stayed where they were, allowing the Ora cavalry to form their formations.
Zhu Qiyu and Ye Xian cooperated with each other, but also consumed a group of Ye Xian's non-direct troops.
Just as Wala was forming the formation, Zhu Qiyu had returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.
It was not yet noon, and Zhu Qiyu had just sat down in the room. He was served by three young girls, Xian'er, Ningxiang, and Mu Yu, and took a sip of hot tea. Lin Xiangyu walked in anxiously.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What's wrong, Princess? You are so turbulent, as if someone is chasing you."
Lin Xiangyu pushed the greeting card in her hand over and said with a smile: "Someone sent a greeting card and asked to see my husband. He said he would be there in a minute.
My husband, please let Ningxiang and the others help you change your clothes. The slave family has something to do and has to go to the accounting office to calculate recent expenses. "
After saying that, Lin Xiangyu turned around and went out again.
Zhu Qiyu keenly felt something was abnormal, and quickly pulled Lin Xiangyu over, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't think about running away, wait until I see the greeting card first. I don't know who the big shot is." It's here, and it actually scares our smart little princess to put oil on her soles to avoid its sharp edge."
Lin Xiangyu struggled twice, but when she couldn't break free, she had no choice but to let it go.
Zhu Qiyu opened the greeting card with a smile and glanced at it curiously. With just one glance, Zhu Qiyu shouted: "My biological grandfather, it turns out to be her. No wonder the little princess was so frightened that even I wanted to run away."
The other three women were even more curious next to them. Ningxiang quickly asked: "Who is so scary, husband? Is it the two princesses from the Prince's Palace?"
Zhu Qiyu handed over the greeting card.
Ningxiang took a look at the greeting card and became even more curious: "Wuding Marquis Mansion, the eldest princess Yongjia? Is this eldest princess very powerful? How can she scare you like this?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Let me tell you this, even the Queen Mother of the Shangsheng Emperor and the Supreme Emperor when they were still in power would be so scared that they would want to run away when they heard that the eldest princess had arrived."
"so smart?"
"Well, this eldest princess is the eldest daughter-in-law of the first generation of Marquis Wuding. In the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, the eldest and second eldest families were fighting for the title. They had been fighting for this title for more than forty years.
The year before last, Guo Xuan, the third-generation Marquis of Wuding and second-in-law, passed away, and the eldest and second-in-laws started fighting again.
The fourth generation of their family, Guo Chang, the eldest brother, and Guo Cong, the second brother, all wanted to inherit the title, but they were shelved by the Supreme Emperor, the orthodox emperor at the time, so that there is no fourth generation of Wu Dinghou to this day.
The Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor had long been frightened by their family. No, now they are torturing us again. The princess knew how powerful it was, so she hurriedly tried to avoid the limelight. "
Lin Xiangyu retorted with a smile: "Huh, what does it mean to avoid the limelight? This kind of thing is not something that a little princess of the slave family should ask. Husband, please change your clothes quickly and go out to entertain guests."
Xian'er immediately answered: "My husband has just come back, sister asked him to have a rest. How can a marquis be uneasy if he has to toss himself up and down? If it doesn't work, just kill them, and it will save the fight."
Zhu Qiyu heard this and put his hand on his forehead: "Kill them? How to kill them? The eldest princess of Yongjia is the daughter of Taizu. You heard clearly, she is Taizu. And she is the granddaughter of Guo Zixing. Guo Zixing knows, right? Emperor Taizu The old father-in-law.
This ancestor is three generations older than me, so I have to call her great-aunt. Even if she stood in front of me now, pointing her nose at me and scolding me, I wouldn't dare to kill her. "
Hearing this, Xian'er was so frightened that she gasped: "No wonder it scares people like this. The eldest princess of Yongjia must have a great background."
Zhu Qiyu suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I have been waiting for this eldest princess to come to me for a long time.
I have a very important deal to discuss with her. Xian'er went to invite her mother and concubine to the main hall to meet the guests together. Mu Yu and Ningxiang went to open the main door first and waited to welcome guests.
You must be polite when meeting the eldest princess. Except for me, everyone else must kneel down and salute. "
The three of them quickly took the order and went to make arrangements separately.
There were only two people left in the room, and Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Isn't it just a dispute over the title? Could it be that your husband wants to take this opportunity to conquer the Wuding Hou Mansion?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "That's more or less what it means, but it's much more than that. I've been eyeing the Wuding Hou Mansion for a long time. This is a good treasure that can solve big problems for us."
"Oh? Husband, please elaborate."
"Think about it, starting from Empress Gao to Empress Qian now, if you look closely, you can see that all the empresses of the Ming Dynasty basically have military backgrounds. And military generals are inextricably linked with nobles.
The emperor married the daughter of a military general, and then the queen who came from a military general's family would give birth to a legitimate son to inherit the throne. The nobles and generals firmly supported the queen's legitimate son. This was a secret political rule of the Ming Dynasty that could not be seen in writing.
And you are neither a military commander nor a noble family, nor do you have the support of uncles and brothers from your maternal clan. It is difficult for you to sit and live in this position now, and whether you can even survive for a long time is a question.
Whether she can give birth to a legitimate son is another big question. Even if a legitimate son is born, it will be even more difficult to raise the son successfully. "
When Zhu Qiyu said this, Lin Xiangyu's face changed.
Zhu Qiyu continued: "But it doesn't matter. Although you can't defeat them, I will take action when the critical moment comes."
Lin Xiangyu quickly asked: "Husband, do you have any ideas?"
"Of course, my biological grandfather took away the title that the eldest son of the Marquis of Wuding family should inherit, and instead ordered the second eldest son of the Hou family to inherit it. As a result, the only son of the eldest princess of Yongjia, as the eldest grandson of the eldest son, had been fighting for more than forty years. He could not attack the prince until his death.
She simply refused to die with her eyes closed, and the eldest princess Yongjia also felt deeply regretful, and therefore hated Renzong, Xuanzong, the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Sanyang who was able to influence this matter to a certain extent at that time.
So the positions of Princess Yongjia and I are surprisingly similar. "
Zhu Qiyu took a sip of hot tea and continued: "The eldest brother, Guo Chang, who is currently competing for the title, is the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongjia. He is twenty-nine years old this year. He has a difficult lineage. He gave birth to two daughters who died in infancy and has no children.
In other words, he now has no children, which may be related to the fierce fight inside the Guo family.
Princess Yongjia's eldest brother's family is quite pitiful, and I sympathize with them.
But what's relevant to you about this matter is that if we make a deal with the eldest princess Yongjia, you will be named under Guo Chang's name and become his daughter, that is, you will be the great-granddaughter of the eldest princess Yongjia. I brought order to Guo's family's house and returned the title of Marquis of Wuding to Guo Chang. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Then our daughter, the son of Xu and Guo's family, will be firmly bound together. In this way, you will have a noble background and be recognized by the nobles and military generals.
As long as the transaction is completed, the eldest princess will protect you on behalf of the nobles and royal relatives. There is no way Princess Yongjia can live for another seven or eight years. At least during this time, no one can touch you. In this way, we and the Guo family each get what we need. We can not only bring justice to the eldest princess, but also protect our legitimate son from growing up smoothly. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
